2	Colorado Resident Sentenced To 160 Years In Prison For Doing THIS 30 year old Ryan Stone was found guilty for carjacking three vehicles, endangering hundreds of Colorado citizens in the process. In one the cars he stole, there was a 4 year old in the back seat during the high speed police chase. He was convicted of 11 felonies. He was filmed talking on the phone to his wife about profiting on the fame brought on by his insane escapades. After crashing multiple times, shoving drivers out of their seats and stealing their cars, Stone was apprehended by the police. He is being sentenced to 160 years in prison. Do you think he deserves the death penalty for endangering hundreds of lives, including a 4 year old boy? 
1	Though much progress has been made, teen drug use remains rampant in American society. The overall level of use among adolescents may be on the decline, but millions of teens still abuse drugs, and for this group, the efforts of authorities have not been sufficient. Anti-drug PSAs 'aren't doing enough.' According to a recent report from the San Francisco-based What About The Children? Foundation, conducted in conjunction with Moms Against High Kids (MAHK), much of the blame lies with ineffective anti-drug public service announcements that 'are not doing their part' to prevent teens from using illegal drugs. 'We've all heard the old cliches about how some PSAs are better than others, but the statistics we came up with in our research were shocking,' said What About The Children? president Andrea Levinson. 'In informal surveys, 65 percent of teen drug users characterized anti-drug PSAs aimed at them as 'stupid'; 45 percent described them as 'weak' or 'lame'; and 87 percent said they were 'totally gay.' These are the PSAs to which we are entrusting our children's futures?' Alarmed by the findings, Levinson is leading a nationwide grassroots campaign, Stop Ineffective PSAs Now! (SIPSAN!), to prevent such PSAs from reaching the airwaves in the first place. 'Only by showing a little 'tough love' and cracking down on the irresponsible producers of these substandard PSAs can we stop teen drug use at its source: the TV set,' Levinson said. 'We as a society have tolerated the makers of inferior PSAs, and the untold havoc they wreak on the lives of our innocent children, long enough.' According to MAHK's Norma Gregory, who described her daughter and three sons as 'drug-free... but for how long?' the creators of so-called 'ineffective' PSAsthose that do not live up to their stated goal of convincing teens that drugs are badshould be punished with heavy fines, mandatory community service, and even jail terms. In other words, she said, makers of bad PSAs should be treated the same as any drug pusher or dealer who leads a child down the road to abuse. It's Cool To Be Drug-Free! 'This nation has got to get tough on drugs in a real way, a serious way, a way that isn't just some phony public-relations show designed to make us feel better without ever actually addressing the real problem,' Gregory told reporters. 'Liberal, Band-Aid solutions that have no real effect aren't going to save kids' lives. That's why we need to track down the people responsible for these PSAs and really put the hurt on them, before another child is destroyed by their so-called 'helpful' messages.' One of the biggest problems with PSAs, the report found, is that even when they speak in kids' own language, they often fall short of their goal of teaching them that drugs aren't 'cool' or 'rad.' Such ads are particularly dangerous, the report read, because parents often believe their children will find the ads 'hip' and 'with-it'even when the children really don't. 'I saw an ad just last night that, at first, seemed to be doing some good, but in reality was absolutely appalling,' said Pam Jeffries, an Iowa City mother of two. 'It purported to show several different ways to say no to drugs, with one teen getting angry and saying, 'Get outta my face with that joint!' and another acting 'theatrical' and delivering a Shakespearian speech to the rooftops of the city, shouting, 'Nay! I say thee nay!' But when I talked to the kids at the teen center about it, they said it was silly and made fun of it! They were laughing and imitating it, shouting, 'Get outta my face!' and, 'I say thee nay!' and just generally mocking the whole thing. If any of them ever die of an overdose, it'll be as if that ad pulled the trigger itself.' The biggest problem, Levinson said, is that PSA producers are unwilling to take responsibility for the lives of the children they are supposed to be protecting. 'How can a teenager in today's world be expected to learn right from wrong without any genuinely persuasive PSAs to guide them?' Levinson asked. 'No kid is born bad. But if television doesn't provide them with the love and care they need, and tell them how to distinguish between good and bad, they have no chance.' The fight against irresponsible PSAs remains an uphill battle, but their opponents won a major victory with the California legislature's passage of 'Brian's Law,' named after San Clemente teen Brian Kolterman, who was caught smoking a marijuana 'doobie' by his mother in the family garage even though he'd seen an anti-drug PSA on TV earlier that same week. Under the terms of the new law, the creative heads of P.K. MacDreamer Imagineering Ltd., the San Francisco ad agency which created the PSA that should have kept Kolterman off drugs, will be sentenced to a minimum of five years in prison. 'Thank God those P.K. MacDreamer monsters are off the street and behind bars where they can't do any more harm,' said Irene Kolterman, Brian's mother, after learning of the sentencing. She then collapsed into tears. 'People need to learn to take responsibility for the PSAs they create,' Levinson said. 'After all, nobody else is going to take these kids by the hand and guide them through life. Without decent PSAs to raise them right, our children have no one. They're on their own.' 
2	Clint Eastwood Just Got Some Incredible News... Liberals Will Be Furious American Sniper made headlines recently when it officially surpassed The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 to become the highest grossing domestic movie of 2014. The war drama, directed by Clint Eastwood, is now ranked at $337.2 million domestically. Mockingjay, in contrast, sits at $336.9 million. According to reports from Forbes, American Snipers suggest marks the first time in nearly a decade and a half that a non-franchise film has topped the year-end domestic box office rankings. Still, those that have seen the movie and heard Chris Kyles story are hardly surprised at the films success. American Sniper has been breaking records since its release on Christmas Day, when it brought in $89 million in a single weekend. The film is now the 32nd highest grossing movie of all time, and sits at number 14 among non-sequels. What do you think of the films success? Do you support Clint Eastwood for telling the story of American hero Chris Kyle? 
3	Corporatist Lobbying Replaced a Free MarketJames Hall The fortunes of trade rested upon the mutual benefit of all parties, since repeated satisfaction built sustaining economies. Competition was the norm and the quality of goods and services developed that propelled expanding growth and prosperity for the largest numbers of participating producers and consumers. In the corporatist economic model, the goal is to create and protect monopolies, while stamping out any enterprises that challenge the Plutocrat system. Corporate economies are dependent upon connection and favoritism by government policy. The essay, Corporatism Is Not the Free Market states a fundamental point. Too many people are willing to accept government-set goals (such as energy independence) so long as the private sector is induced to achieve them. Regardless of how the goals are achieved, if government sets them, thats statism. The way corporate lobbying works in America, best described as legalized bribery, has become the normal course of a corrupt political system. This overt example illustrates the problem. The drug industry has spent more on lobbying under Obama than any other industry. Top lobbyists at the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) in 2009 met behind closed doors with the White House and Senate Democrats, promising political support for Democrats in exchange for friendly provisions in Obamacare. Lobbyists try to persuade government officials either to support or oppose various policy issues. Therefore, lobbying can be considered a form of petitioning the government for redress of grievances, subject to protection under the First Amendments petition clause. Although there has not been a great deal of judicial analysis on First Amendment protections afforded to lobbying, the courts have carved out several parameters. First, the petition clause does not grant a lobbyist the absolute right to speak to a government official nor does it grant a lobbyist the right to a hearing based on his or her grievances. In addition, the clause does not create an obligation for a government official to take action in response to a grievance. Finally, any statement made while a lobbyist petitions a government official does not receive greater protection than any other expression protected by the First Amendment. Let us get down to the nub of the legal definition. Does a corporation have constitutional standing based upon intrinsic natural rights? Or else are ALL constitutional rights vested in the personhood of a human being and not in the artificial construct of a corporation? Forget the tainted rulings of the courts, the best that money can buy. The economic outcome of political favoritism guarantees that corporate lobbyists have not only the ear of legislators, but often are the inside information conveyors that facilitate the financial worth of previously poor legislators. Crony Capitalism destroys what few vestiges remain of a free market. Outsourcing produced the global corporate economy. While Wall Street Capitalism: A Love Affair is no friend of Merchant Class business, only a decentralized and independent trading system achieves real wealth creation, which is the nature of authentic commerce. The corporate lobbyist is dedicated to see that legislation and regulations, drafted by the companies seeking an advantage in a marketplace, have so many hurdles and obstacles to traverse that only the client company could overcome them. Essentially, the game is stacked and special privileges conferred, in order to stamp out competition. Roderick T. Long, in the essay, Corporations versus the Market, makes a significant point. In a free market, firms would be smaller and less hierarchical, more local and more numerous (and many would probably be employee-owned); prices would be lower and wages higher; and corporate power would be in shambles. Small wonder that big business, despite often paying lip service to free market ideals, tends to systematically oppose them in practice. Therefore, the corporate lobbyist becomes the vehicle that drives the engine of the business-government partnership. Without achieving the desired objective through personal access and deal making skills, the CEO of international globalism would need to dirty their own hands and risk accusations of bribery. The Libertarian position of Murray Rothbard might shock you. In Man, Economy and State with Power and Market, he writes. We have seen above that bribery of a private firm is not actually bribery at all, but simply payment of the market price for the product. Bribery of government officials is also a price for the payment of a service. What is this service? It is the failure to enforce the government edict as it applies to the particular person paying the bribe. In short, the acceptance of a bribe is equivalent to the sale of permission to engage in a certain line of business. Acceptance of a bribe is therefore praxeologically identical with the sale of a government license to engage in a business or occupation. And the economic effects are similar to those of a license. There is no economic difference between the purchase of a government permission to operate by buying a license or by paying government officials informally. What the briber receives, therefore, is an informal, oral license to operate. The fact that different government officials receive the money in the two cases is irrelevant to our discussion. Well, Rothbards distinction does not hold correct. The difference between a voluntary private business transaction and dealing with a coercive government authority is as different as night from day. The entire corporate lobbying culture, based upon an immoral acceptance, as the cost of doing business, destroys public prosperity since the nature of the arrangement shifts rewards to the culprits, while imparting added cost to the consumers. Redress of grievances relate to assaults on individual liberty, not corporate and cartel oligopolies. Original article archived here James Hall is a reformed, former political operative.

Everyone here at the Sacramento Zoo is excited for Ashleys first child to arrive, and we wanted to share that excitement with the community by allowing zoo patrons to help us name her baby, said zoo spokesperson William Fuentes, adding that after the offspring is born to the $10.50-per-hour employee, a winning name will be selected and announced on the zoos website, and its author will be awarded two free tickets to the zoo plus an opportunity to have their picture taken alongside the newborn. We want you to have fun, be creative, and be sure to check out our Twitter and Facebook pages daily to vote on your favorite names. And of course, come by the Sacramento Zoo gift shop to visit the expectant mom, or take a stroll over to the nearby churro stand to see the father, Mike. According to initial online voting, the current frontrunning names are Bobo and Steph Curry. 
1	A team of scientists studying the Amazon Rainforest announced the remarkable discovery this week of thousands of previously undiscovered mammals, reptiles, birds and other species desperately cowering for dear life under rocks and assorted foliage. According to biologists, the 16-month expedition in search of new indigenous lifeforms in the Amazon River basin was a remarkable success, uncovering over 2,300 varieties of heretofore unclassified lemurs, tarantulas, and porcupines as they convulsed in terror under flora and frantically scrambled up trees for safety. 'Our expedition has shown that the Amazon Rainforest is simply teeming with a multitude of creatures never before glimpsed in this region,' said lead researcher professor Courtland Gere, who personally observed a rare form of spider monkey as it huddled, shaking, inside the stump of a freshly felled tree. 'Just mere minutes after our vehicles entered the forest, our team was lucky enough to hear the grief-stricken whimpers of a fascinating, previously unknown species of striped jaguar locked in the fetal position under a pile of leaves.' Graphic: New Life In The Amazon 'In fact, even on the outskirts of the region we observed an endangered form of anaconda crawling desperately to get as far away from the forest as possible,' Gere continued. 'Everywhere we turned were astonishing new signs of life.' Gere went on to describe the sheer multitude of rare creatures found trembling throughout the rainforest including a dry-heaving monarch butterfly, two overstressed toucans that had shed nearly all of their feathers, and an orangutan that regularly wakes up with night sweats. 'Our researchers even managed to catch a glimpse of a rare pygmy pink dolphin nervously hugging the bank of the river,' Gere said, noting that some new species were easy to identify as they sprinted at full speed for a hiding place at the first sound of human voices and truck engines. 'However, our knowledge of this species is still limited as the moment we stepped in its direction it swam to the other shore and frantically attempted to camouflage with its environment, despite not actually possessing this trait.' According to biologists, several unfamiliar creatures, while appearing similar to counterparts from other parts of the world, possessed new and unique characteristics. For instance, within the amphibian class researchers observed a salamander that could secrete eight distinct fear-based fluids, a newt that regularly suffers from anxiety attacks, and a bullfrog that appeared to actually be praying. 'In a few special cases, animals had developed fully new body parts to be used for some type of undetermined evolutionary advantage,' said biologist Dr. Sarah Schumer. 'One reptile we've dubbed the 'hyperventilating lizard' uses a flesh-like air pouch it would pull over its mouth to breathe in and out rapidly and with great agitation. Another truly remarkable find.' Scientists on the expedition added they had also discovered over 800 new varieties of plant life, almost all of which shot out highly deadly toxins when merely touched by a human hand. 
2	HAPPENING NOW: John Lewis Bans Trump From Major City This week, Donald Trump and Congressman John Lewis have been going head-to-head in a feud that has many Democrats refusing to attend the inauguration. The dispute began when Lewis said he did not consider Trump to be a legitimate president. Trump responded by calling Lewis out for the crime rates in his city, claiming he was all talk, no action. Now, Lewis has just told Chuck Todd that he will never invite Trump to Selma, Alabama. In an interview that was broadcast on Sunday, Lewis said he would not invite Trump to visit Selmathe site of historical civil rights marches. He also noted he would not stop Trump from visiting if he decided to do so. Well, by going to Selmalike President Bush, President Clinton, President Obamamaybe he would learn something. Maybe he would get religion, Lewis said during the interview on NBC. I would not invite him to come, he added. What do you think? Does this incredibly disrespectful behavior need to stop?

3	In 1 Out Of Every 5 American Families, Nobody Has A JobBy Michael Snyder For purposes of this study, families are classified either as married-couple families or as families maintained by women or men without spouses present and they include households without children as well as children under the age of 18. Digging into the numbers, we find that there were a total of 81,410,000 families in America during the 2015 calendar year. Of that total, 16,060,000 families did not have a single member employed. So that means that in 19.7 percent of all families in the United States, nobody has a job. And of course there are lots more families that are partially employed. In other words, maybe the wife has a job but the husband does not. So based on these numbers, it would appear to me that the true rate of unemployment in this country is vastly higher than 5 percent, and John Williams of shadowstats.com agrees with me. According to his calculations, the broadest measure of unemployment in the U.S. would actually be sitting at 22.9 percent if honest numbers were being used. But lets not just focus on where we are. Lets take a look at where we are going. According to Challenger, Gray Christmas, job cut announcements by big companies in the United States were up 32 percent during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015, and it appears that the job losses are going to continue to mount as we roll into the second quarter. For instance, late last week Intel announced that it is going to be laying off 12,000 workers As it navigates its path into the future, Intel, the 47-year-old corporation best known for making microprocessor chips that power personal computers, has announced significant changes to its business. On Tuesday, Intels CEO Brian Krzanich said in a letter to employees that the company over the next year will cut its 107,300-person global workforce by 12,000 people, or 11 percent. Those are good middle class jobs, and they are exactly the kind of jobs that we cannot afford to be losing. Meanwhile, the retail apocalypse appears to be accelerating once again. Bloomberg is reporting that teen clothing chain Aeropostale is preparing to file for bankruptcy. Aeropostale currently operates more than 800 stores across the nation, and it is unclear if any of them will be able to stay open as this process plays out. But of course it isnt just Aeropostale that has gone bankrupt lately. Here are a few more examples of major retailers that have recently filed for bankruptcy April 16, 2016: Vestis Retail Group, the operator of sporting goods retailers Eastern Mountain Sports (camping, hiking, skiing, adventure sports), Bobs Stores (family clothing and shoes), and Sport Chalet (general sporting goods), filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It will close all 56 stores and stop online sales. In the filing, it blamed the going-out-of-business sales at certain Sports Authority locations, plus the weather, which had been too warm, and trouble with switching to a new software platform. Its owned by private equity firm Versa Capital Management LLC. April 7, 2016: Pacific Sunwear of California, clothing retailer with nearly 600 stores and derailed ambitions of skate-and-surf cool, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. PE firm Golden Gate Capital, a lender to the company, agreed to convert over 65% of its loan into equity of the reorganized company and add another $20 million in financing. Wells Fargo agreed to provide $100 million of debtor-in-possession financing. March 2, 2016: Sports Authority filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It said it would close 140 of its 450 stores, including all stores in Texas. Just because the stock market has been doing well in recent weeks does not mean that the crisis has passed. In fact, many experts believe that the crisis of 2016 is just getting started. Albert Edwards of Societe Generale is one of them But what I do know is when in the last few weeks I have heard that Janet Yellen sees no bubble in the US, when Ben Bernanke hones and restates his helicopter money speech, and when Mario Draghi says that the ECBs policy of printing money and negative interest rates was working, I feel utterly depressed (I could also quote similar nonsense from Japan, the UK and China). I have not one scintilla of doubt that these central bankers will destroy the enfeebled world economy with their clumsy interventions and that political chaos will be the ugly result. The only people who will benefit are not investors, but anarchists who will embrace with delight the resulting chaos these policies will bring! All over the world, the underlying economic fundamentals continue to deteriorate. Here in the U.S., retail sales have been extremely disappointing, total business sales have been steadily falling, corporate revenues and corporate profits continue to plunge, and corporate debt defaults have soared to their highest level since the last financial crisis. All of these numbers are screaming that a major economic downturn is here, and with each passing week things look even more ominous for the second half of 2016. *About the author: Michael Snyder is the founder and publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog. Michaels controversial new book about Bible prophecy entitled The Rapture Verdict is available in paperback and for the Kindle on Amazon.com.* Social security and Disability accounts for 65 miilon who do not have jobs (retired or disabled). So if 20% of household have no workers, the largest amount are retired households. 20% of households are about 25 million households (out of about 120 million) but there are 35 million households with a retiree. In some of those households, a family member is still working. Conclusion: there are more than enough households with pensions and disabilities and non-Social Security penisons (like teachers) to make up the 1 in 5 where no one works. But thats boring and wont arouse outrage and sell ads! The FACT, you cannot discern the difference between fact and opinion proves you cannot be relied upon for any accurate data/information. I thought it obvious that the source of Social Security data is the Social Security website. The data on the percent of households who have a working member, etc is the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Most people who are informed on these subjects do not require sources for well-established facts. There is no disinformation: 65 million of the 100 million not working are on Social Security. Millions more, such as myself, are teachers, etc, who have their own pension programs. And of course, there are millions of stay at home spouses who have spouses working and are staying home. You should not need a source for such claims. You yourself know many households where the father works and mom stays home and takes care of the ids. My facts can be checked at BLS and Social Security, tho I am surprised you would doubt them. But check it out. I do not lie; I do not make things up; I do not mininform. I have corrected the false impression that 100 million (who want work) are not working. This includes the 65 milloin on SS, and the tens of millions who are on non-SS pensions and those who have only one member of the household who works. I stand by my claims, based on the sources given, and I challenge you to refute anything I have said with credible sources. You are in denial: you want to believe that 100 million want work, when more than 2/3 are retired or disabled, and many more choose not to work in one job households. You just want to feel outraged, even if the facts do not support your beliefs. So do your factchecking on the number of SS recipients, other pension recipients, and households with only one member working: it is very close to 100 million. He is a shill that spends most of day spewing factserrr doing his JOB. I dont even bother reading any dale ruff posts anymore. I cannot be bothered with shillery and stupidity.

3	Government by the Banks, for the Banks: The ESM Coup DEtat in EuropeEllen H. Brown, Contributor According to Gavin Hewitt, Europe editor for BBC News, the concessions mean that: [T]he eurozones bailout fund (backed by taxpayers money) will be taking a stake in failed banks. Risk has been increased. German taxpayers have increased their liabilities. In future a bank crash will no longer fall on the shoulders of national treasuries but on the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), a fund to which Germany contributes the most. In the short term, these measures will ease pressure in the markets. However there is currently only 500bn euros assigned to the ESM. That may get swallowed up quickly and the markets may demand more. It is still unclear just how deep the holes in the eurozones banks are. The ESM is now a permanent bailout fund for private banks, a sort of permanent welfare for the rich. There is no ceiling set on the obligations to be underwritten by the taxpayers, no room to negotiate, and no recourse in court. Its daunting provisions were summarized in a December 2011 youtube video originally posted in German, titled The shocking truth of the pending EU collapse!: The treaty establishes a new intergovernmental organization to which we are required to transfer unlimited assets within seven days if it so requests, an organization that can sue us but is immune from all forms of prosecution and whose managers enjoy the same immunity. There are no independent reviewers and no existing laws apply. Governments cannot take action against it. Europes national budgets [are] in the hands of one single unelected intergovernmental organization. Here is the text of some of the ESMs provisions: [Article 8] The authorised capital stock shall be EUR 700 000 [700 billion Euros]. And that was before Merkels recent concessions, which allow this open-ended indebtedness to be funneled directly to the banks. Why Did Merkel Cave? Reactions back home were devastating, reported der Spiegel. [T]he impression was that [Merkel] had been out-maneuvered by Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and Spanish Prime Minster Mariano Rajoy. As of June 21, 13 of 17 countries still had not ratified the ESM; and the most important ratification needed was Germanys, the largest economy in the Eurozone. Earlier, Angela Merkel had opposed using the bailout fund to pump money directly into struggling European banks. But at the EU summit that began on Thursday and dragged on well into the night, she finally relented. Late Friday evening, German lawmakers voted 493-106 in favor of the 700 billion ($890 billion) permanent bailout fund. What caused Merkel to back down? According to an article in The Economist, the late night was filled with bluff and bluster, in which Mariano Rajoy, the Spanish prime minister . . . , along with Italys Mario Monti, had threatened to block any agreement at the summit unless their demands were met. Mr Rajoy obtained satisfaction, but the same is not quite true of Mr Monti, who had been the most adamant of the two. Mr Monti declared himself satisfied, but caused considerable irritation to partners. Among the deals he had blocked was the growth pact, a mixture of stimulus measures. What Monti achieved by this maneuver was not clear: Who needs the growth pact? Not Germany, said one bemused participant. The euro zones fiscal hawks say the bond-buying mechanism will be little different from the existing system. Mario Monti raised a gun to his head and threatened to shoot himself. In the end he wounded himself in the shoulder, said one scornful diplomat. Maybe. Or maybe the bond-buying mechanism was not what he was really after. The Italian Coup DEtat There is reason to suspect that Super Mario Monti may be representing interests other than those of his country. He rose to power in Italy last November in what critics called a coup detat engineered by bankers and the European Union. He was not elected but stepped in after Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi resigned under duress. Monti is not only an international advisor to Goldman Sachs, one of the most powerful financial firms in the world, but a leader in the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission. In an article in The New American, Alex Newman calls these clandestine groups two of the most influential cabals in existence today. Monti is listed as a member of the steering committee on the official Bilderberg website and as the European Group chairman on the Trilateral Commission website. The Trilateral Commission was co-founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, also Bilderberger attendees. The Trilateral Commission grew from the thesis in Brzezinskis 1970 piece Between Two Ages: Americas Role in the Technetronic Era that a coordinated policy among developed nations was necessary in order to counter global instability erupting from increasing economic inequality. He wrote in his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard that it would be difficult to get a consensus on these issues except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat. Naomi Klein calls it the shock doctrinean induced disaster forcing austerity measures on sovereign nations. In desperation, they would come to heel, relinquishing the sovereign right of governments to an unelected body of technocrats. And that is what the ESM seems to achieve. Rockefeller notoriously wrote in his 2002 autobiography, Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as internationalists and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structureone world, if you will. If thats the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. Implementing the Shock Doctrine In another bankers coup last November, former Goldman Sachs executive Mario Draghi replaced Jean-Claude Trichet as head of the European Central Bank. The European Stability Mechanism quickly followed. It was a permanent rescue facility intended to replace certain temporary facilities as soon as the member states had ratified it, slated to occur by July 1, 2012. The ESM came to an initial vote in January 2012, when it was passed in the dead of night with barely a mention in the press. The recent modifications were also agreed to in the dead of night, ostensibly because Italy and Spain were afflicted with onerously high interest rates. But there are other ways to bring down interest rates on sovereign debt besides forcing whole countries into open-ended pacts to bail out private banks for unlimited sums in perpetuity, in the hope that the banks might bail the governments out in return. The U.S. 2012 budget deficit is significantly worse than either Italys or Spains, yet somehow the U.S. has managed to keep interest rates on its debt at record lows. How has it pulled this off? One theory is that JPMorgans $57 trillion in interest rate swaps have something to do with it. Another explanation, however, is that the Fed has simply stepped in as lender of last resort and bought up any debt not sold at the low rate set by the Treasury, using quantitative easing (money created on a computer screen). Between December 2008 and June 2011, the Fed bought a whopping $2.3 trillion of U.S. bonds in two rounds of quantitative easing. Why cant the European Central Bank do the same thing? The answer is that there are rules against it, but rules are just arbitrary agreements. They can be changed by agreementand often have been, to save the banks. As the cynic quoted in The Economist article above observed, the bond-buying mechanism for countries under the ESM will be little different from the existing system. Mario Monti said the plan will support government bond prices only in countries that comply with fiscal targets, and that it will act as an incentive for governments to follow virtuous policies. That means avoiding deficits, even if it requires further austerity measures and selling of assets. On the public level, that could mean national treasures like the Acropolis. On the private level, The New York Times reported Friday that some desperate out-of-work Europeans were going so far as to sell their kidneys to pay household bills. The shock doctrine, it seems, has come to the doorsteps of privileged Westerners. The German diplomats negotiating the ESM did leave open some escape hatches, including a request by Germanys highest court to the countrys president not to sign the treaties into law until a legal review can be completed. At least 12,000 complaints are expected to be filed with the Federal Constitutional Court regarding the ESM and the fiscal pact. The legal review could well conclude that the ESM illegally hijacks taxpayer funds for private bank profit. It is one thing to pool national resources to bail out other sovereign governments, quite another to write a blank check to bail out the profligate private banks that precipitated the global downturn. Europe has a strong tradition of publicly-owned banks. If the people must bear the costs, the people should own the banks and reap the benefits.

3	Think $1 Million Is Enough For Retirement? You are Wrong.Jeff Berwick Everybody would love to become a millionaire, retire without a worry and spend the rest of your days on earth having fun. Theres just one major problem: $1 million dollars is the new middle-class. Do you have it in an IRA? Well, the government might be interested in confiscated it. In a domestic bank account? Well, legislation has been written legalizing a possible future bail-in. Some of the retirement money sitting in your account could be shaven drastically. Thats what has happened in Cyprus. How about a devaluation? Thats what the people of Ukraine are suffering through as I write. In 1953 the movie How to Marry a Millionaire was out in theaters. $1 million back then bought the equivalent of $8.7 million today (based on manipulated government numbers, which means it actually buys much less). $1 million wont even buy an average apartment in Manhattan today! Why isnt $1 million worth that much anymore? Inflation. The Federal Reserve is printing billions of dollars every single month! Ultra low interest rates in bond markets have also contributed. Unfortunately for US citizens, they will be the victims of a crisis which is only going to get much, much worse. People dont have the money to start saving in the first place. Theyre too busy keeping up with an extravagant and over-inflated lifestyle, taxes, fines and what have you not. On top of that, the United States has chosen a geo-political strategy that has led the rest of the world want off the US dollar. They dont want to use it anymore. China is buying lots of gold. Russia is threatening to abandon the dollar altogether. Thirty years ago, $1 million was a huge amount of money, says Haitham Hutch Ashoo, CEO of Pillar Wealth Management, in Walnut Creek, Calif. Today, given todays lifestyles and costs, it isnt so much money. It translates into $40,000 to $50,000 (annually) in sustainable revenue, says Joe Heider, regional managing principal for Rehmann Financial Group in Westlake, Ohio. That is not that much money on an annual basis. Even if people try to tighten their belt and only live on essentials, the reality is life today comes with all sorts of new types of expenses increased medical expenses, taxes, and of course food inflation. To make things worse, the days of pensions are long gone as well. The only money most Americans will have is that money they have saved. At the end of the day, if you want to have a quality retirement, to do what you want to do, I think you need at least $1 million, says Michael Wall, president and founder of Wall Financial Group, in Altoona, Pa., and Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. A lot of my clients are 50-plus, he says. They are still from a world where they have a small pension. Some have real estate. Then theres Social Security. A lot clients are in a place where they have lived below their means. They can live on a million. Not everyone will have $1 million, he says. They will not have the ability to have as many choices, to do and go and buy and travel. I definitely would suggest that clients shoot to have at least that much. You are talking about 30 or 40 years of unemployment, called retirement. THE BOTTOM LINE There is some good news in all this. There are more millionaires. More than 9 million people in the US have $1 million or more. But lets forget about $1 million for moment. After all, $10,890 is the median financial net worth of an American household today, according to an economics professor at New York University. This is poverty. Most Americans are living in abject poverty. If they are not, they are still borrowing just as before the 2008 banking crisis. Governments have no qualms stealing money. As we wrote earlier this year: Then of course there is MyRa in the US. Obamas plan to help people save. The gist? You give the US government your money, and at the end of your life, they give it back. I am sure people are running to open up their very own MyRa account. ACTION ADVICE The old way of savings wont work into the future. In fact, neither will the old ways of working. As Wells Fargo found last year retirement is a 20th century relic. As you can see, quite a few people in a recent poll dont believe they will ever retire: So why bother with it? Forget retirement. You should be after something more meaningful anyway. Retirement was a concept developed in the twentieth century to keep people working as long as they possibly could in anticipation of the promise they could sit around and do nothing at the end of their life. For me, the concept of retiring is a lot like heaven. Pretty silly. I dont ever plan on retiring. But why would I? I love what I do. I wasnt scared to take risks and try for something more than my teachers were trying to prepare me for (a lackluster life). I chose what I wanted to do in my life and I did it, and I had a lot of success. I dont need to retire. I just need to keep being productive and everything else will fall into place. That is unless I make dumb decisions like buy government bonds, keep my savings in a western-based bank account or invest in the stock market via some liberal arts educated money manager. Instead, during this, the most dangerous time in history for human capital, I have to think on my toes. Ive learned a lot of things throughout the years, and thats why I started recommending precious metals in 2009. I wasnt only recommending precious metals, but I was recommending you store those metals abroad. Many experts, like Jim Rogers and Marc Faber, have echoed that sentiment. Thats why we prepared a globe-spanning report called Getting Your Gold Out Of Dodge, which will help you do just that. Want to ensure that death is not your personal retirement? Click here.

3	Terror Watchlists Erasing American Rights: Feds to Revoke Passports Without Charge or TrialBy Mac Slavo Increasingly, designations on watchlists, both official and unofficial, are replacing due process of suspicion, investigation, arrest, charge and trial, and skipping ahead to simply blacklist individuals and deny them equal rights. This time, the legislation centers around passports, which would now be revoked upon any suspicion, whatsoever and despite a lack of evidence of wrongdoing, or links to foreign terrorists groups. But these links to terrorism are not legally defined or limited, nor do they result as a penalty for criminal convictions, but from being added to a list. Gestapo, anyone? A bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives would allow the government to restrict Americans travel through the revocation of passports based upon mere suspicions of unscrupulous activity. This bill represents another dangerous step forward in the war on terror and the disintegration of American due process. H.R. 237, the FTO (Foreign Terrorist Organization) Passport Revocation Act of 2015, will allow the U.S. Secretary of State the unchecked authority to prohibit individuals from traveling internationally. According to the bill, the Secretary may unilaterally revoke (or refuse to issue) a passport from any individual whom the Secretary has determined has aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise helped an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189). The bill did not bother to define what the terms aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise helped actually mean, in legal terms. The power has been left open-ended so that it can mean whatever the secretary wants it to mean. Needless to say, a bill like this would be easily abused. The travel restriction requires no presumption of innocence for the targeted individual; no explanation; no public presentation of evidence; no opportunity for a defense; no checks and balances on the power. The bill does not outline any appeals process for the targeted individual. The only stipulation is that the Secretary of State must issue a report to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs classified or unclassified. The bill does not state that either committee can reverse the secretarys decisions. In over-the-top language, the bills sponsor Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) vows to go after turned Americans and subject them to a legal status backwards enough to predate the Magna Carta: The House has now acted to locate and contain these traitors, Rep. Poe said in a press release. These Benedict Arnold traitors who have turned against America and joined the ranks of foreign radical terrorist armies should lose all rights afforded to our citizens. Poes statement about losing all rights is rather startling, considering that about half of the Bill of Rights is explicitly written to protect people suspected of crimes from being abused by overzealous government! The dangers of a government wantonly revoking the rights of citizens just because the a bureaucrat puts them on a list would be severe indeed; fitting of a police state. Recall that these individuals can be targeted without even facing official charges of wrongdoing. If trying to defendfreedom, he has missed the point. If owing allegiance to the fascist oligarchy, then be warned. Anyone deemed an enemy of the state, rightly or wrongly, has been targeted, while the entire population has been designated a potential enemy, monitored for suspicion and examples. Poes bill is in close keeping with Sen. Lindsey Grahams stunning endorsement of the NDAA, adamantly stating that enemy combatants do not get American rights, and do not get a lawyer, regardless of birthplace. Consider what this could mean in cases where the person of interest is not a suspected member of ISIS, but a suspected patriot/militia/Constitutionalist/sovereign citizen. Can you be stripped of your rights for criticizing your leaders or speaking out about issues? Already, millions of Americans have been placed on watchlists; many have found themselves denied the right to travel or participate in other activities, and unable to get off the watchlist, even if they were placed on the list by mistake, or if they were placed there without any legal charge of wrongdoing. These concepts, even if cheered on in the context of fighting a terrorist enemy, are poorly defined and inviting abuse, and speeding up the destruction of our rights. Also See: You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com Does that mean the Federal Government is telling the people they are no longer U.S. Citizens and thus not subject to taxation, etc?

3	Is It Wrong To Be Anti-Government?Brandon Smith The mainstream media now places far more emphasis on the political affiliations and philosophies of madmen than it does on their personal disorders and psychosis. The medias goal, or mission, if you will, is to associate every dark deed whether real or engineered to the political enemies of the establishment, and to make the actions of each individual the collective shame of an entire group of people. I could sift through a long list of terror attacks and mass shootings in which the establishment media jumped to the conclusion that the perpetrators were inspired by the beliefs of Constitutional conservatives, conspiracy theorists, patriots, etc. It is clear to anyone paying attention that the system is going out of its way to demonize those who question the officially sanctioned story, or the officially sanctioned world view. The circus surrounding the latest shooting of multiple TSA agents at Los Angeles International Airport is a perfect example. Paul Ciancia, the primary suspect in the shooting, was immediately tied to the Liberty Movement by media outlets and the Southern Poverty Law Center, by notes (which we still have yet to see proof of) that law enforcement claims to have found on his person. The notes allegedly use terms such as New World Order and fiat money, commonly covered by those of us in the alternative media. The assertion is, of course, that Paul Ciancia is just the beginning, and that most if not all of us involved in the exposure of the globalist agenda are powder kegs just waiting to go off. The label often used by the MSM to profile people like Ciancia and marginalize the organizational efforts of liberty based culture is anti-government. The establishment desires to acclimate Americans to the idea that being anti-government is wrong; that it is a despicable philosophy embracing social deviance, aimless violence, isolation and zealotry. Looking beyond the mainstream position, my question is, is it really such a bad thing to be anti-government today? The terms anti-government and conspiracy theorist are almost always used in the same paragraph when mainstream media pundits espouse their propaganda. They are nothing more than ad hominem labels designed to play on the presumptions of the general population, manipulating them into dismissing any and all alternative viewpoints before they are ever heard or explained. The establishment and the media are ill-equipped to debate us on fair terms, and understand that they will lose control if Americans are allowed to hear what we have to say in a balanced forum. Therefore, their only fallback is to bury the public in lies so thick they wont want to listen to us at all. The Liberty Movement now has the upper hand in the war for information. The exposure of multiple conspiracies in the past several years alone has given immense weight to our stance, and reaffirmed warnings we gave long ago. When we spoke out against the invasion of Iraq, commissioned by George W. Bush on the dubious claim that Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were an immediate threat to the security of our nation, we were called liberals and traitors. Today, Bush and Cheney have both openly admitted that no WMDs were ever present in the region. When we attempted to educate the masses on the widespread surveillance of innocent people by the NSA, some of them laughed. Today, it is common knowledge that all electronic communications are monitored by the Federal government. When we refused to accept the official story behind the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Fast and Furious program, we were called kooks. Today, it is common knowledge that the Obama Administration purposely allowed U.S. arms to fall into the hands of Mexican cartels. When we roared over the obvious hand the White House played in the Benghazi attack, we were labeled racists and right wing extremists. Today, it is common knowledge that the White House ordered military response units to stand down and allow the attack to take place. I could go on and on Events that were called conspiracy theory by the mainstream yesterday are now historical fact today. Have we ever received an apology for this slander? No, of course not, and we dont expect one will ever surface. We have already gained something far more important legitimacy. And what about Paul Ciancias apparent belief in the dangers of the New World Order and fiat money? Are these conspiracy theories, or conspiracy realism? The Liberty Movement didnt coin the phrase New World Order, these political and corporate luminaries did: Is economic collapse really just a fairytale perpetrated by anti-government extremists bent on fear mongering and dividing society? Perhaps we should ask Alan Greenspan, who now openly admits that he and the private Federal Reserve knew full well they had helped engineer the housing bubble which eventually imploded during the derivatives collapse of 2008. Or, why not ask the the White House, which just last month proclaimed that economic chaos would result if Republicans did not agree to raise the debt ceiling. Does this make Barack Obama and the Democratic elite conspiracy theorists as well? It is undeniable that government conspiracies and corporate conspiracies exist, and have caused unquantifiable pain to the American people and the people of the world. Knowing this, is it not natural that many citizens would adopt anti-government views in response? Is it wrong to distrust a criminal individual or a criminal enterprise? Why would it be wrong to distrust a criminal government? The Purpose Behind The Anti-Government Label When the establishment mainstream applies the anti-government label, they are hoping to achieve several levels propaganda. Here are just a few: False Association: By placing the alleged anti-government views of violent people in the spotlight, the establishment is asserting that it is the political philosophy, not the individual, that is the problem. They are also asserting that other people who hold similar beliefs are guilty by association. That is to say, the actions of one man now become the trespasses of all those who share his ideology. This tactic is only applied by the media to those on the conservative or constitutional end of the spectrum, as it was with Paul Ciancia. For example, when it was discovered that Arizona mass shooter Jared Loughner was actually a leftist, the MSM did not attempt to tie his actions to liberals in general. Why? Because the left is not a threat to the elitist oligarchy within our government. Constitutional conservatives, on the other hand, are. False Generalization: The term anti-government is so broad that, like the term terrorist, it can be applied to almost anyone for any reason. The establishment does not want you to distinguish between those who are anti-government for the wrong reasons, and those who are anti-government for the right reasons. Anyone who questions the status quo becomes the enemy regardless of their motives or logic. By demonizing the idea of being anti-government, the establishment manipulates the public into assuming that all government by extension is good, or at least necessary, when the facts actually suggest that most government is neither good or necessary. False Assertion: The negative connotations surrounding the anti-government stance also suggest that anyone who defends themselves or their principles against government tyranny, whether rationally justified or not, is an evil person. Just look at how Washington D.C. has treated Edward Snowden. Numerous political elites have suggested trying the whistle-blower for treason, or assassinating him outright without due process, even though Snowdens only crime was to expose the criminal mass surveillance of the American people by the government itself. Rather than apologizing for their corruption, the government would rather destroy anyone who exposes the truth. False Shame: Does government criminality call for behavior like that allegedly taken by Paul Ciancia? His particular action was not morally honorable or even effective. It helped the establishments position instead of hurting it, and was apparently driven more by personal psychological turmoil rather than political affiliation. But, would it be wrong for morally sound and rational Americans facing imminent despotism within government to physically fight back? Would it be wrong to enter into combat with a totalitarian system? The Founding Fathers did, but only after they had exhausted all other avenues, and only after they had broken away from dependence on the system they had sought to fight. Being anti-government does not mean one is a violent and dangerous person. It does mean, though, that there will come a point at which we will not allow government to further erode our freedoms. We will not and should not feel shame in making that stand. I do not agree with every element of the anti-government ethos that exists in our era, but I do see the vast majority of reasons behind it as legitimate. If the establishment really desired to quell the quickly growing anti-government methodology, then they would stop committing Constitutional atrocities and stop giving the public so many causes to hate them. If they continue with their vicious bid to erase civil liberties, dominate the citizenry through fear and intimidation and steal and murder in our name, then our response will inevitably be anti-government, and we will inevitably move to end the system as we know it.

1	Saying its doors were open to anyone with hate in their heart, sources at non-denominational terrorist group Universal Soldiers of Vengeance told reporters Friday that the organization welcomes radicals of all faiths. Unlike other terror groups that can be too narrow and dogmatic, we encourage our members to use whichever religious justification they most identify with when indiscriminately slaughtering scores of innocent people, said USOV spokesman Rahman Hasemian, who noted that the group is open to perpetrating massacres in the name of God, Allah, Buddha, Krishna, or dozens of other deities. We each have our own path to opening fire on a crowd of unsuspecting villagers or blowing up a public market, and there is room for each and every kind of religiously motivated violence here. We must always remember that the complete disregard for human life we share is stronger than the beliefs that divide us. To determine whether USOV is a good fit for them, Hasemian added that any and all bloodthirsty zealots are always encouraged to stop by a meeting and execute a hostage in the name of whatever higher power they believe in.

1	Despite Matt Forte's remarkably strong rookie year thus far, Bears coaches are concerned that their running back's progress may be hindered by his habit of carefully thanking the quarterback after each handoff. 'It demonstrates his strong character and team ethic, but it really is unnecessary to say things like 'Thank you,' 'You shouldn't have,' and 'Oh, all for me? But I didn't get you anything,'' said position coach Tim Spencer, who expressed concern that screen passes might be telegraphed by Forte's insistence on shouting 'Please?' when open. 'We got him down to 'Thanks,' which is a start, but his impeccable manners are already starting to rub off on his teammates. [Quarterback] Kyle [Orton] is saying 'You're welcome' out of reflex, and our linemen won't stop pardoning themselves and saying 'Excuse me' as they block the defense out of the way. It's becoming a distraction.' Other Bears jumping on the etiquette bandwagon include Devin Hester, who bids 'Farewell' to opposing special teamers, and Rex Grossman, who has been gentlemanly about sharing his spot on the bench.

According to NASA administrator Maj. Gen. Charles F. Bolden, Jr., the highly experimental glam space programdubbed Project Starmanhas been in development for exactly five years. Though engineers initially feared the mission might blow our minds, the historic launch ultimately proceeded without incident. Admittedly, this is a very bold and risky departure for the agency, said Bolden, later adding that Bowies Ziggy Stardust period and other outer-space-related work has been a major influence on NASAs direction since the early 1970s. Those familiar with NASAs previous, more conventional research and exploration sensibilities are going to be in for quite a shock. Many are likely to be confused and threatened by the boundary-pushing nature of the project. This mission certainly isnt for everyone, Bolden added. NASA chief engineer Mike Ryschkewitsch said that Moonage Daydream differs from earlier shuttle models in several significant ways. Though the overall shape is similar to previous crafts, the exterior of the $4.5 billion vehicle has been fitted with improved shielding, making it better equipped to withstand the hazy cosmic jive. In addition to the shuttle redesign, several other daring changes have been made to NASAs equipment. According to Ryschkewitsch, the astronauts, or spaceboys, as they will be called during the mission, are equipped with state-of-the-art pressurized suits. NASA's re-designed Spirit rover, nicknamed 'Leper Messiah,' will measure if sunlight striking the Martian surface is strong enough to produce a snow white tan. These new suits are veneered with a protective silver lam to complement the multicolored lightning bolts emblazoned across the helmets sun visors, Ryschkewitsch said. Theyve also been updated with several improved components to ensure the team is completely safe when its time to leave the capsuleif they dare. The five-member crew is made up entirely of United States Air Force officers and includes Maj. Tom Louis, Maj. Tom Greely, Maj. Tom Ohweiler, Maj. Thomas Sinclair, and Maj. Tom Keenan. While the mission will primarily study paranoia, decadence, and the fluidity of sexual identity in a zero-gravity environment, additional scientific testing will be conducted during the shuttles 14-day orbit of Earth. One of the experiments were most excited about will address the effects of Mars-like conditions on several different species of arachnids, NASA biologist Norman Stern said. Public response to the project has been generally positive. Many Americans, however, consider the mission an egotistical and self-indulgent waste of taxpayer money. I just dont see this launch having any sort of lasting influence on future space exploration, St. Louis attorney Kevin Moran said. Certainly NASA has to take risks to further mankinds knowledge, but this mission is simply too ambitious in scope to sustain mainstream interest. Added Moran, Its pretty out there. Though NASA has defended the importance of Project Starman, it has reportedly scrapped a T. Rexinspired mission named Project Interstellar Soul, saying that the launch of the zinc-alloy probe Venus Loon was made laughably irrelevant by the current program.

It seems Clinton supporters are intent on forcing her into the White House; theyve been rioting in her favor for more than a week now. Now, one Zero Hedge reader has just provided visual confirmation of these protesters being shuttled to the site of the protest. The footage stems from Chicago. I have a video of 5 city blocks on the West side of Chicago lined with buses from Wisconsin (Badger Bus Lines) bringing in protestors, one read notes. The Sears tower is visible in the background. The video was reportedly taken late afternoon Saturday on South Canal Street in Chicago. The reader pointed out that hundreds of the participants that took place in the protests were bused into the city. More arrived by train. Dont be fooledthis is an intensely orchestrated effort. What do you think? Is it time for Clinton supporters to face reality?

2	Glen Campbell Is Suffering Immensely From This Dreadful Disease, He Needs Our Prayers Now Glen Campbell has been suffering from Alzheimers for going on 5 years now. He made his experience public when he went on a farewell tour. On that tour he had a camera crew that turned the experience into a documentary about living with the terrible disease. At points on the tour Glen Campbell forgot words to his own songs. The footage is heartbreaking, but does delve into an area of the disease many people have not experienced. In 2015 the disease became too much for the family to handle on their own. They had to place Glen into a memory care facility. It was too much of a strain for them to take care of him without clinical help. I believe they made the right decision to put him in assisted care. The burden of caring for a person with Alzheimers is too much. Glen is now in the final stages of the disease. His family says that he seems content. He has lost most of his ability to communicate, but he can still understand emotional responses. He smiles when others smile. He enjoys getting visits from his family, and so they have gone on a regular basis to brighten Glens day. It is a terrible thing to see happen to a person. Will you send your prayers to Glen?

2	Intruder Breaks Into Home And Gets Shot By Entire Family Over the past few months, Obama has been quick to leverage tragedies as a tool for his gun control agenda. Just hours after the attacks in San Bernardino, Obama was on screen telling Americans that guns were to blame. Americans throughout the country are outraged at Obamas lack of respect for the Second Amendment. Weve seen time and time again how the Second Amendment can save lives. This incredible story shows just what can happen to intruders that try to enter the home of a gun owner. Imagine how different this story would be if President Obama was successful in stripping Americans of their rights? This is a lesson in justice, and were hoping Obama is listening.

While speaking at an immigration rally at his hometown in Chicago, Illinois, Obama was booed by a large crowd of irritated amnesty supporters .They were clearly displeased with his recent executive action and were eager to show it. A Hispanic woman started to banter as others in attendance began to boo Obama, Stop deportations! Not one more! they yelled, mid-way through his speech. An obviously humiliated Obama tried to calm the situation down by responding to the angry crowd the following Hold on, young lady! Dont just start yelling! said Obama. Can I just say this? Ive listened to you. Ive heard you. Nobodys removing you. I understand you may disagree. Even laughing off the embarrassing event by adding this comment, Its good to be back in Chicago, cause everybodys got something to say. 
3	Arizona Doctor Says, Dont Vaccinate ChildrenHeather Callaghan Since the Disneyland Outbreak of measles in California, theres been a mass hysteria and calls for quarantine and forced injection scarcely seen sincethat brief break we got from Ebola. So when a medical doctor boldly stands up and flies against the face of the narrative, the mainstream press cannot help but capture his shocking statement. What they wont heavily highlight about Dr. Jack Wolfson is that he is a respected integrative cardiologist who does not use medicine to help his heart patients, but instead a whole body view of nutritional and lifestyle changes. Of course, they bring two opposing views to the broadcast, but in the end: both doctors agree that the measles infection, once caught, is not likely to turn deadly. Dr. Wolfson does not believe that injecting chemicals and heavy metals into the bloodstream is the way to help the immune system stave off disease. Did you know that Merck, the only company licensed to sell the Mumps vaccine is in legal hot water for completely falsifying effectiveness test results? Mumps is included in the Measles Mumps Rubella shot Furthermore, some of the side-effects listed on the vaccine insert could be life-threatening conditions. Side-effects also include: atypical measles and measles-like rash. Isnt that convenient? Actually, its not. A complication from atypical measles is pneumonia. That is something to ponder. Medicinenet says that it only occurs in people who received a killed measles virus vaccine in the late 1960s and people should vaccinate with newer, live-virus vaccines. Yet, Mercks own vaccine insert lists atypical measles. Additionally, multiple vaccines have been shown to lead to virus-shedding leading to asymptomatic spread of disease. Dr. Gil Chavez, the California state epidemiologist said, it is absolutely safe for you to go to Disneyland if youre vaccinated. Yet, seven people who contracted measles had been fully vaccinated. Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist. You can see her work atNaturalBlaze.com and selfnewsPost.com. Like at Facebook. Recent posts byHeather Callaghan: I really hope more doctors are brave enough to speak the truth. Its too bad doctors arent given history lessons and learn that these diseases are cyclic and will continue to be so regardless of the amount of toxins they mandate. My grandparents were always glad when we got these benign diseases out of the way at an early age. Since when is getting sick a crime? Get your flu shot (even if it doesnt work). We are told to get booster shots because we dont have antigens. Duh. Your blood sample right now likely would not have antigens for whooping cough (pertussis) measles, mumps, chicken pox, HPV, HIV, cytamegalovirus, Hepatitis A, B, or C, scarlet fever, etc. etc etc. That is because your body doesnt waste time or effort making antigens THAT IT DOES NOT NEED! If there is no pathogen to fight the body doesnt randomly and intermittently practice making antigens that arent needed! Duh! So the biochemistry for the need of booster shots is sheer lunacy. said the idiot with no medical degree Hmm. Idiot you say. you judge intelligence by paper who is the idiot? Disadvantage of not having a medical degree people dont worship you and you dont get to overcharge for damaging your patients. Advantages you don'[t have to sell your soul to a drug company and kill people the US medical system being the worst in the industrialized nations with the added bonus of forcing YOU to payover 250% more to threaten and damage your health. The US spends MORE on health care than the next TEN highest health spending nations combined for what? The highest infant mortality rates, the highest maternal mortality rates, horrible cancer, heart disease and other chronic illness reates WITH worst cure rates, the shortest life expectancy, the first generation in CENTURIES expected to live shorter, sicker lives than we will. Things YOU dont know. 95% of MDs have no training in biochemistry or nutrition. Almost all of the 700,000 gall bladder surgeries in the US annually are for LIVER ISSUES bile production, or stones produced by LIVER BIOCHEMICAL ISSUES, not gall bladder problems. Those surgeries for the pain? 25% do NOTHING for the pain. Antacids are a 7 BILLION/YR business in the US for prescription drugs another 3 BILLION/YR over the counter. YOU dont know that too much acid is literally accurate in 0.001111% of the cases or less. i challenge you to find ONE patient of an MD who has had their ACTUAL pH measured. In studying biochemistry/nutrition informally since 77 i knew in 79 that butter (not rBST/CAFO) is good for you, that you NEED cholesterol to survive, that salt is NOT the cause of hypertension, that hydrogenated fats are toxic on the cellular and intracellular levels, that eggs have good cholesterol and a healthy egg WITH YOLK is beneficial in many ways, etc. etc. etc. Things your Doc is just now THIRTY SEVEN YEARS LATER being told. And you want to imply that I am the stupid one. You likely take pharmaceutical drugs i do not at all. NO pharmaceutical drug cures a single thing just covers up symptoms. Well, they DO ALWAYS damage your biochemistry. 43% of the PDR listed drugs are carcinogenic. 42 INDIVIDUAL drugs are proven to induce onset of dementia symptoms, and removal of the drugs removes the symptoms except for the benzodiazepine family, which makes the drug induced brain damage PERMANENT! Again who is the stupid one? How about vaccines? Look at this very quickly downloading set of graphs from Australia. http://www.vaccinationdebate.net/web1.html The timeline is the only significant difference for the US. If this doesnt show you that vaccines DID NOT DROP THE DISEASE RATES you need to learn how to read graphs. Go back to 4th grade. These illustrate that diseases without vaccines, with very few vaccinations, and those pathogens you are trained to freak out over ALL acted the same way, in roughly the same time. This proves that VACCINES DID NOT CURE ANYTHING! How about that little 5yr old in Las Vegas Nev. being killed BY THE SAME FLU VIRUS SHE WAS VACCINATED WITH? DERP! (corporate induced retardation on your part?) Well THAT one sure cured her flu!!!!! How about the CDC finding that 16% of the flu was not influenza AT ALL? There is no possible way that the flu shot can help the 84% without flu AT ALL, but you think am wrong for a scientifically undebateable FACT? You listen to the lies of the most dishonest, money-grubbing industry in the world (okay that is debatable) and swallow their BS, but havent the intelligence to investigate anything i generalized about above. No refutation, no disproving links, nothing. And you want to pretend I am the idiot. No look in the mirror for not idiocy, but incompetence, and a fierce example of one not capable of thinking FOR YOUR SELF. i am just really curious as to what the hell you think you are defending your arguments are baseless, lame, and inaccurate. Devoid of information, Reliant upon emotive, vacuous attempts at manipulation and denigration because you cant show an opposing viewpoint to be wrong so you try to poison the water. Awesome, bsroon. Wow. I could not have said it better. Loved the post. Thanks kind of hit rant mode. There are drugs for that.. I am a doctor, with all the diplomas to prove it, and I agree with what you say, bsroon. I have been researching vaccines for decades, and it is a huge, dangerous scam on the uneducated and the defenseless children. I thank God that the truth is finally waking people up. Big Pharm is hysterical about losing this massive profit-generating scam, which is why their mainstream media shills are working overtime with disinformation. Let the uneducated (and sadly pathetic) adults get injected with mercury, aluminum, etc., etc. But we must keep educating the Moms, especially, so that they can save their children. Cheers!

2	HAPPENING NOW: Cop Shoots Next Michael Brown... Riots Are Happening Already According to recent reports, Corey Jones was pulled over on the side of the road in Florida dealing with car issues after he had performed a gig with his band Future Prezidents. Jones was approached by an unmarked squad car while he waited for his friend to arrive on the scene. Although it isnt entirely clear what happened next, Jones was ultimately shot by the off-duty cop. I tried to help him as best I could, but Im not a mechanic or anything, Matthew Huntsberger, Jones friend told reports. When I left him, he was sitting in his car calling roadside assistance. I never would have thought that someone was going to come kill him. Huntsberger was reportedly gone from the scene less than an hour before the shooting took place. The cop involved in the incident has been identified as Office Nouman Raja of Palm Beach Gardens. He claims he stopped on the side of the road to examine what he believed to be an abandoned vehicle. When Raja began approaching the car, he was reportedly met with a weapon. Experts believe that Jones may have thought he was in danger. Jones may not have known some someone was approaching to rob or mug him, law professor Bob Jarvis said of the incident. Raja was wearing plain clothes and driving an unmarked car at the time. In encounters like this, Jarvis claims that it could be the case that the person doesnt realize that theyre being approached by a cop. What do you think? Is this an innocent mistake or will this turn out to be another Ferguson? 
3	Yet Another New Mexico Resident is Subjected to Invasive Cavity SearchLily Dane This time, the victim was a woman, and this time, the exam was far more invasive. KOB 4 talked to the womans attorney, Laura Schaur Ives, who is the Legal Director for the New Mexico Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union: Schaur Ives said the woman doesnt wish to be identified because she considers herself to be a victim of sexual assault. Schaur Ives said the woman crossed the border at a Port of Entry from Juarez, Mexico into El Paso. A dog alerted to the woman, and Schaur Ives said federal agents stripped searched her at the facility, asked her to undress, to spread her genitalia and to cough. Female agents also allegedly pressed their fingers into her vagina looking for drugs. The woman claims they didnt discover anything during the on-site strip search, so they took her to University Medical Center of El Paso. First, medical staff observed her making a bowel movement and no drugs were found at that point, Schaur Ives said. They then took an X-ray, but it did not reveal any contraband. They then did a cavity search and they probed her vagina and her anus, they described in the medical records as bi-manualtwo handed. Finally, they did a cat scan. Again, they found nothing. The ACLU claims the federal agents never secured a search warrant before probing or touching the woman. Sexual assault is defined as the penetration of the anal or vaginal area with a foreign object, and forcibly touching an intimate part of another person. The intent need not be sexual gratification for the offender. State-sanctioned sexual assault is about control: The point of sexual assault is domination and control, asserted by means of the victims body. Decades ago, the eminent sociologist Erving Goffman described how body searches are used in prisons and similar institutions to humiliate and degrade inmates through what he called forced interpersonal contact. By breaking down a persons sense of self, compulsory body searches make prisoners easier to control.

1	After running directly into the grandstands during the Iditarod's ceremonial start and veering 55 miles off course late Tuesday to chase a marmot, Siberian husky and rookie sled dog Melvin apologized to his musher and fellow canines Wednesday for making a complete fool of himself in the early stages of the annual 1,150-mile race. 'First Iditarod jitters, I guess,' the visibly contrite Melvin told reporters Wednesday at the Rainy Pass checkpoint. 'I feel like such a moron. Here I am in the last great race on earth and I'm blowing it. I mean, 100 times out of 100, when my musher yells, 'Gee,' I turn right. But yesterday I go left down an icy slope into a bunch of evergreens and nearly break everyone's neck.' 'I have to pull it together,' added the dog, making a point of directly addressing his musher, two-time Iditarod champion Lance Mackey. 'I'm sorry, Lance. I'm acting like an idiot out there.' Melvin has gotten his squad into several embarrassing scrapes thus far, one of which occurred at Willow Lake when, in an effort to find a place to nap, he twirled around three times while still in full harness, fouling his lines and entangling his team in multiple snarls. In addition, as the team was on route to Skwentna, a child spectator threw an imaginary stick over the team, and Melvin chased it 300 miles back to the first checkpoint at Yentna Station. Melvin's most humiliating experience, sources said, was a 20-minute period during which Mackey repeatedly ordered him to mush and the husky merely stood motionless, staring at Finger Lake. 'You look around and you realize that you are going up against your idolsLarry, Bronte, Salem, Handsome, Blueand then it hits you: This is the fucking Iditarod,' Melvin said. 'It's not the Jack Pine 30 or the American Dog Derby. Out here, if you playfully root through your musher's sled basket and destroy his heavy parka and extra-warm sleeping bag, well, that's a mistake that could haunt you the rest of your career. Unfortunately, I'm learning that the hard way.' Melvin later admitted that he was overwhelmed by the pressure of participating in his first Iditarod and consequently had psyched himself out. Bouts of anxiety reportedly led to a stress dream Monday night in which he found himself standing on a calm, ice-covered pond for several tranquil minutes before the ice suddenly cracked beneath him. 'Instantly, I was treading in freezing water, and the more I struggled to get back on land, the faster I sank,' Melvin said. As he dreamt, the husky unconsciously gnawed through his team's snub line. Consequently, two point dogs and one wheel dog are still missing, and the sled can no longer go around corners. Just five days into the race, the group is a projected seven days behind the rest of the pack. 'I'm too 'in my head' right now, you know? I have to remember my training from when I was a pup and just be natural,' said the dog, adding that despite his most recent failures, he believes he was born for this. 'No more stopping in the middle of a run to find a private place to go to the bathroom. Why would I even do that? I know I'm running in the Iditarod, for crying out loud. And I'm certainly not going to sprint into my teammates ever again, because that means I'm destroying our neck and tug lines, and I'm going completely the wrong way.' 'I need to stay focused,' Melvin continued. 'Also, I think I'm going to go chase that big moose over there.' Despite the husky's shortcomings, musher Lance Mackey has stated that Melvin will remain in the lead dog position, mainly because Melvin bit the leg of fellow lead dog Sarah. Melvin was quick to point out, however, that at the time of the incident, he was suffering a panic-related delusion in which Sarah had transformed into his father, an Alaskan malamute who always told his son he would never amount to anything. 'It's a saying amongst us mushers that the dogs never make mistakes,' Mackey said. 'But it's not my fault that Melvin stops every 45 minutes to furiously dig in the snow. That dog's a wreck.' Mackey then sighed and added, 'This is a terrible Iditarod.'

Lets see whats going on over here, King reportedly said while swiping tables, chairs, and broadcast equipment in the CNN newsroom, running his hand across the office water cooler in a vertical scrolling motion, and then lightly tapping Wolf Blitzer on the chest to zoom in on the anchors tie. Lets try to expand that out, explore this area a little more. Things are looking good for the president here. At press time, King apologized to viewers for incomplete information on a nearby coffee cup, saying that he was experiencing a small glitch. 
2	Liberals Cry Racism After Bar Bans Saggy Pants And Large Gold Chains In a world where sensitivity over what is racist is starting to go overboard, one Minneapolis news story begs the question: can a dress code be racist? According to residents living in the city, that is exactly what Bar Louies dress code is. Might as well just say, No black folks allowed, claims Minneapolis local Michelle Horovitz, Its ridiculous. The bars policy bans a series of apparel on weekend nights, ranging from flat bill hats and large chains to long plain white T-shirts and excessively baggy clothing. Observers who saw the sign posted feel that the policy was covertly targeting black people. Minnesota might be the nicest, healthiest, cleanest state in America, but we have huge issues as far as segregation, racism, systematic oppression and people want to look the other way, Horovitz continued on to say. This is not okay, and were not going to patronize you if you dont change your policy. What do you think of the dress code? Is it racist?

1	KARUNCHI, SNAKISTANCiting crumbling relations due to years of protracted french-onion diplomacy, the president of the Central Asian doritocracy Fritolaysia withdrew the country's ambassadors from Snakistan Monday. 'We have been supplying the people of Snakistan with pre-packaged consumable goods for over 40 years, and for them to show resistance to our savory products is unacceptable,' Fritolaysian President Barbbaku Chedar said, referring to Snakistani officials' unwillingness to adhere to Fritolaysia's zesty new initiative introduced during a between-meals conference at last week's international-trading summit held in Mnchen, Germany. 'Fritolaysia has no choice but to crumple up and throw away all chiplomatic ties with the greedy, gluttonous government of Snakistan,' Chedar added. Relations between the two countries grew stale in 1994, when Fritolaysian rufflelutionaries crossed zestablished borders and forced Snakistan to dispatch cheesekeeping forces. The late-night SALTY talks held at Snakistan's Kuler Ranch, however, cooled the spicy conflict with the signing of the historic Buttermilk Compromise, which established bilateral chiplomacy and regulated trade flows by setting the international Rold Gold standard of currency. The dispute over increased prices and decreased serving sizes escalated when Snakistan, swayed by the influence of the nation's healthiest 1 percent, signed a historic fat-free-trade agreement with the Yogurtslavian nation of Colombo. Preparing for a long and grueling war of nutrition, Fritolaysia imposed trade snacktions and set up a blockade of Snakistan's major ports, cutting off their commerce with Yumen, Mmmmadagascar, and the Chex Republic. Fritolaysia's CORNCOM command center. According to internoshonal-relations expert Grady Freedman, Snakistan's reliance on, and craving for, Fritolaysia's delicious exports will likely force their charg d'claires to re-establish ties with Fritolaysia's government and draw up a late-night treaty. 'The only option besides bowing to Fritolaysia's demands is to begin trading with the extreme funyunmentalist people of Utzonia,' Freedman said, referring to the Blandinavian nation that offers similar but less-satisfying goods for cheaper exchange rates. 'But deals with the Utzonians always leave a funny taste in your mouth.' With much of his country fearing that the rift with Snakistan could lead to a family-size conflict, Snakistan's President Ghulam Murtaza Pringle, whose pork-rind-barrel legislation and 2002 negotiations with international spambassadors earned him the Hormel Peace Prize, said his country cannot live without a strong, flavorful relationship with Snakistan. 'I am sending hundreds of chiplomats to Fritolaysia in the hopes that something can be worked out,' Pringle said. 'Even if we have to dig in and get our hands a little greasy, we aim to hunker down, preferably on a couch.' 
3	Exposure to Falling Oil Prices Driving Global Defaults and SlowdownMac Slavo But lurking beneath that may be an impending crisis that threatens to drag everyone down with it. Thats according to the Financial Times, who say that falling oil prices combined with a strong dollar (hence reduced trade in exports) and a likely increase in U.S. interest rates could contribute to the familiar pattern of economic slowdown. As Satyajit Das writes, bankruptcies, defaults, banking problems and reduction in credit availability drive contagion. Weak growth, high debt levels, disinflation or deflation, policy driven destructive competitive devaluations, inflated financial risk taking and mispricing compounds the problems. The impending crisis may develop as follows. First, US equity prices come under pressure from a stronger dollar. [] Decreased funding availability and higher interest costs create a toxic spiral of reduced borrowing, production, cash flow and earnings. Finally, a combination of low growth, low inflation and political considerations destabilise sovereign debt markets, especially in Europe. Additional injections from Europe, Japan and China cannot adequately offset reduced US dollar availability from the end of the Federal Reserves quantitative easing programme. In turn, this reduces the flow to U.S. markets of petrodollars, given the falling oil prices. American investment dollars are quite exposed here, with about a fourth of total investments in the energy sector: The US economy one of the best performing developed economies is exposed. The energy sector accounts for roughly 25 per cent of SP 500 capital expenditure and RD spending. [] The energy sector is about 15 per cent of the Barclays US Corporate High-Yield Bond Index up from less than 5 per cent in 2005. [] Lower oil prices reduce available surplus petrodollars that help finance budget and trade deficits, keep interest rates low and support asset prices worldwide. Moreover, foreign debt is heavily tied to the U.S. dollar, with high dollar prices making debt harder to service. Currency battles are already in the air: Perhaps 75 per cent of emerging market foreign debt is denominated in US dollars. Falling oil and commodity revenues reduce the US dollar cash flow available to service this debt, creating a currency mismatch. Meanwhile, Europes problems with debt multiply these problems across the global market. Ditto for the problems of Russia, Mexico, Brazil, Iran and other socialized countries heavily dependent on the oil price and gas sales. FTs Das warns that the lower price of oil will be nowhere near enough to compensate for slowdowns in other variables. Shortfalls in investment, employment and consumption will likely be enough to undermine American economy momentum and some of the baby steps to re-shore jobs on U.S. shores. As NPR reports, the reshoring effort, while perhaps a positive step, is hardly enough to put a dent in the trade deficit, much less to account for the global tide: A report on the phenomenon known as reshoring the opposite of offshoring shows that while a growing number of companies are returning to the United States to do their manufacturing, the trend is smaller and less significant to the economy than it appears. You see more manufacturing activity within the U.S., said Van den Bossche, but relatively speaking youre actually seeing even more in Asia for products coming to the U.S. Theres a trend here that says that, Yes, we are starting to manufacture more, we are getting more and more competitive, but its not quite yet showing in the economic data, Van den Bossche says. The looming calculus of falling oils impact on the economy is likely to setback any of that progress, anyway.

1	Friends of local man James Perry, reported Tuesday that the 29-year-old somehow lives in a perpetual state of anxiety and agitation despite of his total lack of any meaningful personal or professional responsibilities. 'He rushes around all panicked every morning grumbling that he's running late,' Ryan Maynard said of his roommate Perry, whose frequent sighs of frustration and unending claims of exhaustion belie the fact that no children, sick relatives, or even casual girlfriends depend on his emotional support or the income of his part-time job working for his uncle. 'James sleeps more than anyone I know, yet every other week he complains about how he's feeling sick and desperately needs a vacation.' Perry was unavailable for comment, telling reporters that he was 'totally swamped' with a bunch of work and personal stuff.

3	Rookie Preppers: 8 Mistakes To AvoidTess Pennington Dont Panic Take a deep breath, sit down and make an emergency plan. Decide what emergency you are preparing for and what supplies you will need. Try and stay within a certain emergency time frame and work your way up to larger scale emergencies. For example, begin planning for a 72-hour emergency and work your way up to a short-term emergency and later, a larger scale or long-term emergency. Take your time and properly plan how you are going to open up your budget so that you can attain these emergency items. Cutting out the extraneous spending in your budget can free up a lot of extra cash. The money saved can be used toward your future preparedness items. Make the choice of using the new found preparedness money or save it for a more expensive prep. Either way, you will accumulate a little at a time and not break the budget. Personal Experience One mistake I remember (and am still paying for) was when my husband and I decided to get a short-term food supply. We hadnt really researched what it takes to maintain your familys health during a short-term emergency so we impulsively went out and bought $200 in canned goods. Needless to say that we are still living off of that canned good investment. Looking back, we could have used that $200 in a more constructive manner. Listen to what the experts say, but make the decision that is best for your family and your needs. Some experts advice is driven by what makes them the most money or what other experts are saying at the time. Make a list of what items you are looking for and research those items (include reading the customer reviews). Dont buy cheap preps. Trying to save money here and there is great, but when you are investing in survival gear, you want to make sure the investment is worth the money spent. Begin looking at your purchase as an investment for your future. You want that product to last and do its desired function with minimal hassel. And you want to be able to depend on that product to see you through an emergency. On another note, whatever items or tools you buy, make sure you use it. If you invest money and buy an item that you do not know how to use, its useless. Personal Experience I wanted to save a few bucks and bought a basic sleeping bag that didnt have any bells or whistles. Later on down the line, I realized the sleeping bag was way too bulky, weighed too much for a bug out situation and had no capacity to really keep someone warm. I ended up investing in an ultralight backpack that keeps me toasty when I need it the most and is feather light. Although I made a mistake with the first sleeping bag, I am using it as a back up, so the investment was not a complete loss. Other items I have found that are worth spending extra money on are good toothbrushes, survival tools, water filtration systems and survival knives. Buy preps that are multi purpose. You want to make the most out of your preparedness investment so do some extra research and find preparedness items that have multiple functions. Personal Experience I have found a lot of items that have multiple uses, so listing them would be an entire article in itself. However, here are few suggestions that would help serve a multitude of functions. Rope, for instance is a great multi-use prep. It can be used for hanging or securing emergency shelters, used as a laundry line or for hauling. Other multi-function items are a good knife, multi-tool, and emergency foods, such as salt,baking soda, and vinegar. Buy foods you and your family normally eat. This is one of the biggest mistakes that preppers make. You want to use the food that you store. To get the most out of your food investment, develop good storage habits. Further, its a good rule of thumb to purchase foods and items that will be used within their allotted time span, so check the expiration date! Personal Experience I came across some cans of seafood medley at my local grocery store and thought how great it would be to use it in an emergency situation. I was so excited about this canned seafood because it was high in protein and vitamins, so I ended up buying 4 cans of this stuff. After opening up 1 of the cans for a dinner my family (and myself included) pushed our plates aside and decided to eat cereal instead. Needless to say the seafood medley was horrible. I donated the remaining cans of the seafood medley to a food bank. Eat what you store. In an article I wrote about storing food, I stated, Storing food is a continual process of using, rotating and reloading. If a short-term food supply is bought, the food must be used and more food purchased to resupply the storage shelf. Thinking of the food supply as a small store where the foods in the front has the shortest expiration date and the ones in the back have the longest. The food storage area should be checked every six months to make sure that appropriate food items are rotated. Personal Experience I cant tell you how many items I have had to throw away unopened food because I didnt use it within its expiration date. Using and rotating your food supply takes some getting used to. Many think that the stored food is for emergencies only. And it is, but it should also be there for you when you need it. Its your own personal convenience store. When you use an item, buy a new one at the store and replace it on your shelf. Have back ups for your back ups. This is a golden rule for preppers. You never know when one of your preps will break or jam up on you. Having extra items gives you peace of mind because you are not solely dependent on one item for survival. Personal Experience When we were researching water filtration systems, we ended up buying a katadyn water filter (A solid investment in my opinion). However, we began thinking about the use and effectiveness of the filter after multiple uses. We decided that solely depending on one item to give up potable water was not wise. We not only bought extra filters for our katadyn, but also invested in micro-pur tablets (chlorine dioxide tablets), and chlorine granulesto make sure that all areas were covered. Get your friends and family on board. In an emergency situation, you will need help from others. It would be unrealistic to think differently. Talking with friends and family about being prepared is a great way to awaken the need for their personal preparedness efforts and help you find more like minded individuals. Help guide them and give them advise on how to begin. Personal Experience We all have stories of people thinking we are kooky because we prepare for short- or long-term emergencies, and I am no different. I have learned to take others opinions in stride, but I have talked with some family and friends who see the need to prepare and have started doing so. My largest accomplishment thus far has been helping my sister become more prepared. I have peace of mind knowing that most of my immediate family is prepared at least for a short-term emergency. There will be some friends and family members who are not going to be on board no matter how much you try and talk to them. There will be some who will be on board and will listen to what you have to say. Hopefully, after you share your experiences and first time mistakes, they will listen and learn from you. What are some prepping mistakes you have made? Contributed by Tess Pennington of Ready Nutrition.

When a catastrophic collapse cripples society, grocery store shelves will empty within days. But if you follow this books plan for stocking, organizing and maintaining a proper emergency food supply, your family will have plenty to eat for weeks, months or even years. 
2	Donald Trump Vows To Make 1 GREAT Change To Gun Laws On Day One If Elected President Donald Trump has made a promise that he will remove all gun free zones from the United States on the first day that he is elected president. So many shootings happen in gun-free zones, and liberals cant seem to put the dots together. When guns are taken away from the good people, they are left defenseless to the criminals that inevitably get their hands on guns. Trump has focused his attention to talk about gun free zones at schools. If there are 30,000 college students all in one place and the school is marked as a gun-free zone, isnt this practically an invite to criminals to take advantage of the situation? In pursuing this goal, Trump would have to repeal the existing federal law that create gun free zones, and also pass a new law making it illegal for states to make gun free zones. We think its a great idea. Should we get rid of gun free zones? Comment below. 
2	Clinton Administration Goes After Kimberly Guilfoyle And Trump Go Deep Exposing This About Hillary The American people have seen enough evidence to understand the severity of Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clintons email crimes. Its apparent that her use of a private email server was intended to hide the criminal transactions he was allegedly doing on the side. One report noted that Hillary was using the Clinton Foundation in a pay-to-play scheme. It is believed that wealthy, shady foreigners would donate to her non-profit in exchange for access to Hillary in her official capacity as Secretary of State. If that is true, Hillary quite literally sold out the United States to terrorists and terrorism-affiliated foreigners for her own profit. Donald Trump is not ready to let her off the hook for her actions. In a recent interview with The Five co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle, the pair discussed important new information about the former Secretary of State. I hear the NSA maybe has the emails, Trump explained. A lot of people say the NSA would have the emails if they really wanted to get themMaybe somebody should, in fact, ask the NSA whether or not they have the emails. What do you think of Trumps comments? Watch the video below and share your thoughts with us. 
3	Texit: Texas Inspired by Brexit, Aims to Break Away from the United States by 2018Britain has voted to exit the European Union. This has been abbreviated simply as Brexit. Since the vote, many things have happened. The pound is falling against the dollar. There have been reports of some businesses wanting to move from the country. The stock market has been affected. The country seems to be in a state of confusion. Currently, some people are backing an online petition for a second vote. In the state of Texas, the pro-secessionist movement, known as the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM), has asked state governor Greg Abbott to answer an appeal. The appeal will ensure that the state goes to the ballot box in 2018, to determine whether to break away from the rest of the United States, or not. The TNM is very confident that when their appeal is considered for the vote, Texas will be an independent republican nation in 2018. TNM claims to have over 200,000 people supporting the movement online. The movement has called on more people in the state to join, to bring pressure on Governor Abbott to allow a vote on independence from the bureaucracy of the United States federal government. The movement has also increased its activities on social media to garner more support. RT English News reports that the movement has managed to get over 200,000 likes on Facebook. Currently, it is estimated that Texas economy is worth around $1.6 trillion. Proponents of the TNM claim this will make the economy of an independent Texas among the 10 top economies in the world, if it breaks away from the United States. Just after the results in Britain showed an exit from the European Union, TNM President, Daniel Miller, said in a statement: The win for Brexit opens the door for Texit by establishing, concretely, that it is possible to have an adult conversation on independence and letting the people have the final say. It is past time that the people of Texas had their say on our continued relationship with the Union and its sprawling Federal bureaucracy. Miller said for more than a decade now, the TNM has been on the forefront of calling out the overreach and abuse of Texas by the Federal Government. According to him, unlike the professional complainers in the political class, TNM has proposed only one solution to the problem: Independence for the people of Texas. Miller added: It is past time that the Governor and the rest of the Legislature respond to the large number of Texans who want their say on the matter and give us a vote. The Executive Director of the movement, Nate Smith, also added that TNM has the momentum to force an independence referendum. He pointed to the movements growing support base on social media and its daily activism since 2004. Smith also revealed that for several years now, the movement has been receiving new supporters and volunteers at an unprecedented rate, and that the Brexit referendum has spread throughout the state, encouraging people to take similar action for their complete freedom. Texas is one of the largest states in the southern part of the United States. The state was the 28th state to join the Union of the United States in 1845, after nine years of being an independent republic. Since the TNM expressed the desire to have a referendum vote after Brexit, many people in other parts of the United States have said on social media that Texas cannot survive on its own as a republic. Some said the state had to even beg back into the Union, after it declared its first republic. Image Credit You want to support Anonymous Independent Investigative News?

Thats an emotional judgment, not an argument, making your comment childish and irrelevant. I agree with Carl. The global elite love this kind of fantasizing. Its a good fit for their plans to begin fracturing nation states. State sovereignty and fighting for decentralization via the 10th amendment is great, walking into a divide and conquer trap is another story. Well said. thanks, and your comment about Jade Helm is spot on And where is your useless 10th amendment getting you?. (Crickets). The 10th is like a restraining order in an abusive marriage. Why depend on a piece of paper to defend you when a divorce makes FAR more sense? Excellent for Texans if they are truly awake. How many know the long history of the deep state and 9/11 was a false flag? Probably 5% at the very most. If were using metaphors, then I prefer an nation state and global level infusion of TRUTH SERUM to every person on the planet. Id rather give the body politic a wide spectrum antibiotic (truth) than start chopping off limbs to cure the disease. BTW, its no secret that TPTB are salivating at the thought of fracturing nation states and there are recent geopolitical examples of their handiwork. Gotta watch those double edged swords. TROLL ALERT. Thats an emotional judgment, not an argument, making your comment childish and irrelevant. Why cant the other 49 have the balls/courage Texas has? Years ago I ran commercial jobs in Texas. Decent folk, proud folk. I just wish I could talk my wife into moving there. Theyve even built a depository for holding onto your precious metal etc. FOR REALS not via markers or paper receipts. Or any of the other tricks from the Wall Street leeches. The majority still worship from the Bible, not the demonic Talmud. The best for Texas. Any idiot who says they cant secede is either a member of the Judas Class or doesnt know the unique history of their deigning to join Sewer Nation. Secession, or threats of secession, would be a pretext for civil war and resultant martial law. No war will happen. US soldier trash cant even defeat a few thousand goat herders in Afghanistan. They wouldnt have a chance against 26 million armed and motivated Texans. Even the demonic DC Regime isnt stupid enough to offer war as a response. But I guess you are. Ever seen a video of a A-10 Warthogs 30 mm cannon in action? Im not sure why you felt a need to attack me, but thank you for your input. Can you imagine the repercussions from around the world against The Regime if it started attacking its own people the absolute worst possible publicity? That is one hypocrisy The Regime could never get away with. Ill leave that to you to explain, because Im stupid. Your insult to U.S: troops is deplorable. Only to those who worship the DC Death Cult and its servile hired killers. I hate to burst your bubble, but perhaps its time you knew the truth of the matter: I do think you are right. It would be a pretext for civil war. One only needs to study history to see the future. Most people dont care to research history. However, what goes around, always comes around The last time anybody seceded from the USA, besides getting pretty ugly, martial law was imposed by Lincoln on the remaining Union states. Yes indeed. And, I think we will see some trouble in the UK very soon too TEXIT, yes. The more the Usurped States subdivide the harder it will be for the zentral bankers to control. An independent state would be interesting to see what they come up with. I may have to move there, so long as they, vote out the fraudulent taxation scam of income tax and that thug agency the IRS.AND allow cannibis. I agree Paschn. Try Alaska. No state income tax, and cannibis is legal to grow, legal to use, only not legal to sell. A trade, however Well why not as an old Texan once told me `Weve got the oil and`we got the beef, we dont need those damn yankees in Washington So, if Texas wants to be a republic, how will it provide for its national defense, which it can not do under the Monroe Doctrine. That right there is a show stopper. If Texas actually had the balls to secede, it would be filled with wealth and patriots so fast they wouldnt know what to do. Grab a shitload of nukes before you do it though. Yep, those Ferals havent changed much since the 2nd War of Independence, they will Destroy you to Save you. Its coming again, but this time the Northern Rebels will join up with their Southern brothers of Liberty. Lt.Gen. Nathan B. Forrests, Free Black personal security detail will even be standing up again. The friskiness is just around the bend if Frau Hilarity is sElected. Excellent post. d-word and r-word governments are the worst of the worst. 
3	Obama Seeks US Congressional Ratification of UN Global Gun Control TreatySusanne Posel, Contributor Clinton affirmed that the US would facilitate talks with the UN in the Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty, as long as it operates under the rules of consensus decision-making. Consensus is needed to ensure the widest possible support for the Treaty and to avoid loopholes in the Treaty that can be exploited by those wishing to export arms irresponsibly. This global gun control scheme, concocted by the UN, is called the International Arms Control Treaty (IACT). Disguised as a way to combat terrorism, insurgents and international criminals, this document endeavors to secure that the worlds citizens cannot defend themselves. The IACT will empower the UN to literally force the US government to: Senator Jerry Moran said in a letter (signed by 44 other senators) to President Obama; warning him not to continue his push for ratification of the SAT. Moran wrote: Our countrys sovereignty and the Second Amendment rights of American citizens must not be infringed upon by the United Nations. Today, the Senate sends a powerful message to the Obama Administration: an Arms Trade Treaty that does not protect ownership of civilian firearms will fail in the Senate. Our firearm freedoms are not negotiable. The US is the worlds largest exporter of firearms; while private sales between citizens, collectors and sportsmen would all be internationally regulated with the approval of IACT. This includes rules over ammunition, and procurement. The Obama administration, in an attempt to appear coy, agreed to sign only if other states agreed to as well. Yet many Senators, the National Rifle Association (NRA) and pro-gun advocates perceive IACT as the first step in international gun control and will not abide by while Obama gives the UN over-reaching power to destroy our 2nd Amendment and our Constitutional Republic. A final version of SAT, which is based on IACT will be drafted by 2013. Chris Cox, the NRAs top lobbyist, explains: As we have for the past 15 years, the NRA will fight to stop a United Nations Arms Trade Treaty that infringes on the Constitutional rights of American gun owners. Cox feels that Senators like Moran: send a clear message to the international bureaucrats who want to eliminate our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms. Clearly, a U.N. Arms Trade Treaty that includes civilian arms within its scope is not supported by the American people or their elected U.S. Senators. Senator Moran is a true champion of our freedom. We are grateful for his leadership and his tenacious efforts on this issue, as well as the 44 other senators who agree with the NRAs refusal to compromise on our constitutional freedoms. Last month, in press release , The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has awarded defense contractor ATK with an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement for .40 caliber hollow point ammunition. According to ATK : ATK has secured a major Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity deal to supply up to 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition to the Department of Homeland Security . . . The 1 year contract with four option years comes at a time when many Americans believe that DHS, along with certain aspects of the military, will soon turn their sights on the American people during some sort of martial law scenario . . . We are proud to extend our track record as the prime supplier of .40 caliber duty ammunition for DHS, ICE, said Ron Johnson, the president of ATKs Security and Sporting group. This particular type of bullet is meant to expand upon impact engineered for 100-percent weight retention, limits collateral damage, and avoids over-penetration. This order is not the first for DHS. In 2009, DHS contracted Winchester for delivery of 200 million hollow point bullets. The economic state of America has caused US citizens to purchase armory at an incredible rate. A national gun-run last March saw a shortage of guns in stores for the first time. I have never seen such a situation in all my years as a gun owner, hunter and cop, said Edna Aquino, a New York police officer and shooting instructor. Im hearing from fellow shooters that they are stockpiling ammunition these days because they are afraid of what theyre seeing in this country. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reported that an estimated 6 million requests for pre-sale guns in 2009 reflects a 26% increase. In response to Americans arming themselves, President Obama is seeking Congress to approve the UNs international governance over our 2nd Amendment while claiming that it is only an attempt to create more stringent gun legislation for the American publics protection.

2	Sniper Takes Out ISIS Terrorist Trying To Fire His RPG [VIDEO] WARNING: Graphic footage below. Although this newly surfaced video is extraordinarily quick, it is also impactfulno pun intended. The footage shows US troops who are able to take out a terrorist with the help of an M16, right before he has the change to fire his RPG. Its a small victory, but who knows what this man would have gone on to do. What the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	With the groundbreaking development of 'war' more than 7,000 years ago, mankind acquired a new tool that for the first time ever made it possible to definitively resolve conflicts of any kind. 'The concept of two groups charging at each other from opposite sides of a field until one group is too wounded or dead to continue fighting completely revolutionized the way in which humans settled disagreements,' said Kip Levin, a military historian. 'Without war, early nomadic tribes would not have been able to decide who got the last of dwindling resources, there would be no pope in Rome, and the United States would never have found a way to intervene in Vietnam and Iraq.' Added Levin, 'It's hard to imagine what life was like before people had war to tell them who was right and who was wrong.' Many historians believe the breakthrough mediation strategy originated in the Fertile Crescent shortly after the dawn of civilization, spreading rapidly to become an immensely popular conflict-resolution method across the globe. Since that time, war has solved hundreds of problems, from waterway access to border disputes to the entirety of Polish history. War has also been employed on occasion to resolve disagreements over peace and to ensure that the world remained a harmonious place untroubled by fear, hatred, or the threat of violence. According to Levin, because of its near- perfect rate of success in the modern civilized world, war will likely remain in popular use for the foreseeable future. 'We've come a long way from hashing out our differences around a fire,' Levin said. 'With the long-range nuclear missile technology we possess today, I wouldn't be surprised if, in a few short years, war solves the problems of mankind once and for all.'

3	IL School District Installs Big Brother Biometric Thumb Scanner in CafeteriaBy Joseph Jankowski This technology has many worried that school districts are going to far with collecting personal information on students and are putting their privacy at risk. In Illinois, the Geneva Unit District 304 has recently installed a biometric scanner in their cafeterias that will take students thumbprints for lunch purchases. The biometric scanner, made byPushCoin Inc, will allow parents to closely monitor their childrens lunch accounts through email updates. Also, PushCoins CEO, Anna Lisznianski, contends the scanners can help school officials use lunch time more efficiently, reports EAG news. Officials in several area school districts have said they plan on implementing similar technology in the coming months and years. I will tell you that many of the kids arent very good about keeping track of their ID cards, District 95 board President Doug Goldberg told the Daily Herald. And so moving to biometrics was felt to be sort of the next generation of that individual, unique ID. Well record their thumbprints, there will be thumbprint readers at all the cash registers, and theyll simply come by and bang hit their thumbprint. It makes it faster and, also, theres a lot less opportunity for any kind of misuse or fraud when theyre using biometrics. Ed Yohnka, spokesman for the ACLU-Chicago, says that lunch line thumb scanners and other biometric data collection in schools sends the wrong message to students about protecting their privacy. I think it undermines the notion of really thinking about the importance of your biometrics as a matter of privacy, Yohnka said. I think in this age, when so much is available and so much is accessible online about us and there is all this information that floats out there, to begin to include in this ones biometrics, it really does raise some legitimate concerns. Local law enforcement officials, for example, could subpoena fingerprints from a vendor like PushCoin to track down student criminals, Yohnka said. University of Washington psychology professor Laura Kastner shares the same privacy concerns. At some point, Big Brother is going to have a lot of information on us and where is that going to go? Kastner told the Daily Herald. And thats just for parents to consider. But from a kid point of view, they have no idea what theyre giving up and, once again, the slippery slope in whats called habituation. Were getting so used to giving up data about ourselves, Kastner said. Along with privacy risks, this technology could be aiding in the acceptanceof the obvious war on cash that is being waged globally. Read:The War On Paper Currency Begins: ECB Votes To Scrap 500 Euro Bill With an entire generation of young people being acclimated to accept biometric identification technology, there is no telling no how far reaching this technology will go in the future and what it will collect. Training starts with the children. I presume that, as with other online records, future prospective employers will access a job applicantss childhood eating habits history, whether they were punctual boarding school buses, and every other tidbit as they are now doing with everything available to them online. Needless to say, the military, all Government positions, police, and foreign intelligence agencies, hackers, and other criminals can be counted upon to grab the information. So whats the problem? Your Children will be monitored from cradle to grave and all that they do the Orwelian promise. They wanna know who the good lil slavies are. Those who blindly obey every single rule without complaint or question will be rewarded withGMO sammiches and tepid 2% milk. 
3	The Lesser Of Two Evils Con-GameBrandon Smith, Contributor However, over the course of the past year it has become apparent to me that the talking points and propaganda that drive the hypocritical worldview are being utilized on an even grander scale than ever before. This fact struck me quite sharply while attending a local GOP Lincoln/Reagan dinner event while I was attempting to gauge the overall danger our country would be facing from potential RINO (Republican In Name Only) sellouts as well as what our hopes were for a possible political solution at the local and state level. The conservative rally was, to say the least, disappointing. One thing that stood out plainly at this event, though, was that there was an overall template; an action plan, a message that had been pre-engineered. Someone had sent out a memo, or an email, or a guide, or perhaps beamed talking points directly into the cyborg brains of these political hacks. Their rhetoric was repetitive and uniform and dry like elbow skin. The demand was clearly stated; regardless of who won the Republican Primaries, no matter how unprincipled, how unconstitutional, how despicable, it was our duty as conservatives to back them through the national elections. Obama and the Democrats had to be defeated at all costs. Now, one of the first tenets or rules that a person learns when delving into the Liberty Movement is that there is no such thing as political parties in America today. There are no conflicting interests in Washington D.C. There is no grand battle between left and right for the minds of the masses. It is a sham. A con. A fantasy. A false paradigm. Sadly, even those of us who should very well know better than to fall into the false left/right paradigm trap do so on occasion, as has been made painfully obvious by the foolhardy actions of Rand Paul and his blank check endorsement of Mitt Romney. Certainly, this epic blunder, which seems to me to be a blind stab at political maneuvering on the part of Ron Pauls son, has set off an angry firestorm amongst true Constitutionalists who know every lie Mitt Romney has ever told. People are using words like betrayal, and traitor, and with good reason, but lets look at this calamity from the other side of things for a moment There are others out there who would applaud Rand Pauls decision. While many of them will openly admit that they do not feel very secure in the shadow of a Romney presidency, they still rationalize their position by making the lesser of two evils argument. Lesser Of Two Evils? Theres No Such Thing First of all, asserting that there is such a thing as a lesser of two evils is an act of naivety. It relies on a very dangerous assumption; that one can somehow quantify which candidate is going to hurt the country less. Ive even read essays by people who pretend they can mathematically delineate the more evil of the evils! Not surprisingly, their logic invariably leads them to proclaim the lesser evil to be the candidate of the party they happen to belong to. Ignorant Republicans always see the Democrat as the greater evil, while ignorant Democrats always see the Republican as the ultimate monster. Heres some math for you: there are two candidates for President of the United States, one is a cannibalistic serial killer who plans to murder 20 more people with his own hands while in office. The other is a cannibalistic serial killer who only plans to kill 19 innocents personally. Which candidate do you support? The correct answer is NEITHER. Unless you are a fan of murder, there is no inherent difference between these two demonic bureaucrats. They both stand in opposition to the guiding principles of inborn conscience, as well as the protections provided by the laws of free people. The fact that one man will do slightly less damage during his reign is irrelevant. Is a choice between Stalin and Hitler, for instance, really a choice at all? Which one is the lesser evil in this equation? Some may argue that this comparison is a bit over the top. I beg to differ. Presidents have the power not only to maim and kill en masse, but they also have the power to dismantle the laws which protect our civil liberties. To drive the point home as far as Romney and Obama are concerned, lets watch the following video, which removes the blinders and exposes these two charlatans for what they really are; two peas in a pod: A refusal to vote, or a vote for a third party, is not a vote for Obama, or a vote for Romney, but a vote against the charade. There is no such thing as a lesser evil. Either a candidate follows the path of truth and honor, or he does not. If he does, he deserves our support. If he does not, or if both candidates are criminals, then they both must be tossed to the wayside. Just because the system has deliberately limited our choices does not mean we are required to participate in the flim-flam. Participation Is A Duty? I have also heard the argument that by refusing to participate within the system, and by refusing to choose a specimen from the carnival of horrors we are presented every election cycle, we are doing more harm to America than good. This is the most prevalent falsehood of our era. The bottom line is, Americans have been dancing in the lesser of two evils pageantry for generations and our Constitutional shield has only been further degraded and destroyed in that time. I defy anyone to show how choosing Obama over McCain, or Bush over Gore, or Clinton over Bush Sr. has helped this country or its people. Where are these illusory advantages and benefits of participation? Where has our country gone while the public fettered away years trying to decide which ghoul to hand over the scepter of empire to? Or, the ultimate question; what specifically have they achieved? Have they gained anything? Has any minutia of our lives been made better by following the lesser of two evils theory? Only a fool would claim yes. One might argue that a non-vote is the same as putting all bad candidates on the same footing, and that this would be wrong. I disagree. In an election in which all candidates share the same disparaging policies, they are ALREADY on the same footing. We simply refuse to give the farce legitimacy by casting our vote for any one of them. In the game of chess, the primary goal is to diminish your opponents options. To force him into a corner where, no matter which choice he makes, he loses. Chess, however, is not life. In life, intelligent and creative individuals have the ability to walk away from the board completely and implement their own solutions. The more we continue to participate in the rigged game, and the more we continue to view the future as a series of self contained boundaries administered by the establishment instead of a wide open frontier in which all is possible, the more we will lose, until there is nothing left. Only Cowards Compromise In The Face Of Evil Good does not compromise with evil. As stated above, there is nothing to be gained by it. I find that the people most prone to suggesting or demanding compromise with oligarchs and tyrants are usually cowards who have never faced down any legitimate struggle in their lives with any passion. But, how do they sell this stunted philosophy to others? The illusion here is one of reason or objectivity. Fearful men often use the guise of objectivity (even if they are not) to avoid confrontation, especially confrontation with a supposed authority figure or government. Strangely, their powers of reason and deduction invariably seem to lead them to subservience to the establishment structure. Compromise, for them, is a way to protect their flailing egos by playing the role of the even-handed citizen while at the same time crawling towards servitude. The argument to this position would, of course, be that many in the Liberty Movement compromise with evil everyday. That we follow laws we disagree with and that we find reprehensible, and that this makes us somehow hypocritical. I would say that this is a very narrow and disingenuous view. Free-minded people do not follow reprehensible laws so much as tolerate them while working to dismantle them (following infers acceptance). Being honorable and generally of good will, we look for peaceful avenues of redress and change. But, if those avenues are closed to us, and if the injustices expand, the free minded become freedom fighters. Dissent and even revolution are inevitable in the face of tyranny. It is an undeniable feature of human nature. What I find most interesting though is the conundrum that this conflict of interest creates for the skeptical establishment slave. If the Liberty Movement tolerates bad law while searching for a peaceful path towards change, they call us hypocritical. If the Liberty Movement abandons tolerance and bring force to bear against tyranny and its abuse of the law, they call us fringe extremists. Apparently, the only way we can be correct in the eyes of self proclaimed objectivists is if we bow to the constraints of the system, sit back, keep our mouths shut, and enjoy the bread and circuses. The Greatest Evil Is Moral Relativism Collectivist governments seek to encourage extreme moral flexibility. Totalitarian regimes cannot survive otherwise. The lesser of two evils sales pitch is, in the end, an extension of the methodology of moral relativism. It trains us to embrace the status quo, whether we like it or not, and to continuously rationalize our adherence to the sham just to get through the day. The mental gymnastics we are required to perform become more complex and unstable. Eventually, in order to ease our consciences which are screaming in agony at the pit of our chests, we have to stop caring about anything, and just go through the motions of participation. This is not the way to freedom. There are other ways to secure liberty beyond elections, but for these strategies to be effective, we have to stop asking for permission from the establishment before we take action. Perhaps you seek to step outside the box and away from the controlled paradigm. Perhaps you seek to confront the system head on, either exposing its duplicity and evil, or erasing it as an obstacle completely. The system, its laws, and its political theater are of no consequence, especially when it has been so corrupted. Moral relativists, though keen on the idea of mutable law, enjoy the trappings of the law as long as it is to their benefit. The law, as I have pointed out in the past, is arbitrary, and always has been. The only true law is the law of inherent and universal conscience. My conscience, as with most other people, tells me that choosing the lesser of two evils (an illogical abstraction) sends a message to the elitists that manipulate our culture that I am willing to help them perpetuate their fiction. I become an accomplice in the crime. I commit self mutilation. I give power to the lie. Such institutionalized misery can only be undone by uncompromising men and women who put principles and conscience before comfort, or even before their own lives. All throughout history, this is how wrong is undone. No society ever changed for the better by casting aside their beliefs and their individualism. No society ever changed for the better by choosing the lesser of two evils. No society ever changed for the better by holding out the hand of friendship to despots, maniacs, and con-men in the hopes that they would be spared just a little less tragedy before their time on this Earth is over.

3	I Fear For Whats Coming 68 Percent Of Americans Believe The Country Is On The Wrong TrackMichael Snyder And of course our problems did not appear just recently. In fact, many of them are the result of decades of very foolish decisions and they are not going to be fixed easily. Unfortunately, there is very little consensus among Americans about how to fix any of our problems. There is more anger, frustration, hatred and division in the United States today than there has been in decades, and there is very little hope that the great storms that are looming on the horizon will be averted. Those that are wise are preparing for what is coming. Those that are not are going to be absolutely blindsided by what is rapidly approaching. Once upon a time, America was the wealthiest nation on the entire globe by a huge margin and it had the largest and most thriving middle class the world had ever seen. But now America is drowning in the biggest ocean of red ink in the history of the planet and the middle class is being systematically destroyed. If you read my articles on a regular basis, you already know all of this. But now there are certain factors that are going to cause the problems of the middle class to greatly accelerate. For instance, just consider what Obamacare is going to do to millions of American families. Back in 2011, this family was paying $389 a month for health insurance. In 2012, due to changes in California law that figure went up to $499 a month. Now, this family has just received a letter informing them that their current plan is being canceled and that if they want a new plan it is going to cost them $1,252 a month. Needless to say, that news did not go over very well with that family. Just think about it. Can you come up with an extra $753 a month for health insurance? Most American families certainly cannot. Well, Kate Joy and her husband sat down and started trying to figure out how they could squeeze the new health insurance policy into their budget. It turned out that they would have to cut out a lot of things. The following is a list of the proposed cuts that they have come up with so far If they make all of those cuts, it will save the family $791 a month. Understandably, that family is having a very hard time feeling optimistic about the future right now. In fact, at the end of the article Kate Joy is quoted as saying the following And of course her family is not the only one that is being absolutely hammered by Obamacare. In a previous article, I discussed the results of one study which showed that health insurance premiums for men are going to go up by an average of 99 percent under Obamacare and health insurance premiums for women are going to go up by an average of 62 percent under Obamacare. And a different study found that health insurance premiums for healthy 30-year-old men are going to go up by an average of 260 percent under Obamacare. All of this is going to suck a tremendous amount of discretionary income out of the economy. In addition, millions upon millions of Americans are going to make the choice to go without health insurance altogether. And considering the level of care that we get in many of these hospitals that is understandable. For example, the body of57-year-old Lynne Spalding was recently discovered in a stairwell at San Francisco General Hospital 17 days after she had disappeared from her hospital room. And of course health care is not the only thing that middle class families have to be concerned about these days. Our national employment crisis is getting even worse, incomes are shrinking, and Obama is pushing Congress to approve a secret treaty that will ship millions more of our jobs out of the country. And there are certainly a lot of troubling economic signs as we head toward 2014. Just consider the following examples -Pending home sales in the United States have fallen for five months in a row. -Machinery giant Caterpillar is reporting negative retail sales growth in every region on the globe. Historically, the sales growth of Caterpillar has been one of the most important indications of where the economy is headed next. -Major banks are warning the Federal Reserve that they may have to start charging depositors a fee. In other words, you may soon have to pay for the privilege of putting your money in the bank. Of course this is just the beginning. Things are going to get much, much worse in the years ahead as our economy continues to deteriorate. And as things continue to fall apart, people are going to become a lot more desperate. To get an idea of what is coming to America, just look at what is happening in Greece. Some poor people in Greece have become so desperate thatthey are literally infecting themselves with HIV just so that they can get monthly government payments If you doubt this, you can find the original report with these findings right here. A lot of people accuse me of being a doom and gloomer for writing articles like this. A lot of people accuse me of trying to spread worry and fear. But I do not see it that way at all. I was recently asked what the number one issue is that has me so worried that it keeps me up at night. Do you know what my answer was? Nothing. Nothing that I write about keeps me up at night. I am not worried about what is coming and I do not believe in giving in to fear. Rather, I believe that there is hope in understanding what is happening, and I believe that there is hope in getting prepared. Do you want to know who is going to be totally giving in to worry, fear and despair in the years ahead? Do you want to know who is going to be jumping off the top of tall buildings in the years ahead? The people that are laughing at articles like this one. For most adults in America, they primarily define their lives by their jobs, their material possessions and by all of the toys that they have accumulated. When those things get taken away, we are going to see a national hissy fit that is absolutely unprecedented. The Republicans are not going to save us from the storm that is coming and neither are the Democrats. That is why I am urging people to get prepared on an individual basis, a family basis and a community basis. If you prepare yourself and your family now, you will have a much better chance of surviving the coming storm. And you will be in much better position to help those that will need your assistance. If you think back throughout history, most of those that we consider to be the greatest heroes emerged during times of great crisis. Well, another time of great crisis is coming, and this will be a tremendous opportunity for a new generation of heroes to arise. So do not cower in fear because of what is coming. Rather, use this time to get prepared for the greatest challenges and the greatest opportunities that you have ever known. When things are the darkest, that is when the light is needed the most. Choose to be a light. America will soon need you greatly. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Ben Carson Exposes Something About Obama That Will Get Him Impeached In the past few weeks, presidential hopeful Ben Carson has come under fire from the liberal media over accusations that he has fabricated some of his history. Specifically, the media has focused in Carsons claims that he got a scholarship offer from West Point. While that still remains in question, conservatives are furious at the double standard were seeing. Why is the media investigating Carson so intently, while Americans are still waiting for hundreds of questions about our current president to be answered? Now, one Columbia grad is demanding that the University release Obamas records immediately. Read his argument below and tell us what you think. Do you want answers about Obama? Obamas lies about Obamacare alone have cost American taxpayers millions, even billions in higher premiums and medical costs. Like millions of others, I lost my insurance based on Obamas lies, and now Im paying far more and getting far less. Obama promised the world and delivered disaster. Now THATS a significant lie. Jonathan Gruber, the architect of Obamacare, even admitted fraud was committed to fool the dumb voters. But, lets compare apples to apples. The media is going after Dr. Carson for supposedly making false claims about his college record. So isnt this the perfect time to demand fair, unbiased and equal treatment of Obamas college record? As any good trial lawyer would say, The media opened the door to this one. If you can investigate Dr. Carson, then you must investigate Obamas claims about college as well. The media anxiously called West Point demanding to verify Dr. Carsons claims, but never called Columbia to verify Obamas claims. Why? If claims about college from 30 or 40 years ago are important for Dr. Carson, why not Obama? Did Obama make false claims about his college experience? No one can prove it (yet) because his college records are sealed. Why? What is he hiding? If it matters for Carson, it should even more for a man already sitting in the White House with his fingers on the economy and the nuclear button. Fair is fair. If what a young man claims happened at college many years ago is important for Carson, then its important for Obama too. I graduated Columbia University in June of 1983. According to Obama not only were we in the same graduating class, we had the same majors, Political Science and Pre-Law. That would mean we took the same classes. I thought I knew every classmate in Columbias Political Science department. Yet neither I nor anyone I knew ever met, saw, or heard of Obama. This was reinforced two years ago in 2013 when I attended my Columbia University 30th class reunion. I asked everyone Did you ever see Obama at Columbia? Not one classmate answered affirmatively. I simply couldnt believe no one claimed to have met a classmate, who supposedly was in our class, and who was later to become president of the United States. So, I tracked down Professor Henry Graff, perhaps the most honored professor in Columbia history and Columbias Presidential historian. I interviewed Graff that same year for TheBlaze. Professor Graff never met Obama; heard of him; or saw him. Professor Graff said it was virtually impossible to graduate Columbia as a Political Science major without attending his history classes. Yet Graff never heard of him. He even studied his old records to verify Obamas existence at Columbia and found nothing. Graff asked other Columbia professors. None remembered Obama ever being in their classes. All of this is on the record from my interview, published in 2013 here at TheBlaze. Obama is the ghost of Columbia. With his records sealed we can only conclude his existence at Columbia is just a rumor. Isnt this an important issue for the media? Something is wrong, yet no one in the mainstream media cares about the possibility Obama might have made false claims about his college records? Yet in Dr. Carsons case, they were champing at the bit to investigate a casual boast of a one-time meeting with a general. Now, assuming Obama did graduate from Columbia, but never went to class (a very strange story) One possibility is that Obama beat the long odds of being accepted for transfer into Columbia by claiming status as an Indonesian foreign student. People familiar with the admissions process tell me that was a likely way to jump ahead of other applicants. But, of course, if true it would be out and out fraud. Could that be why Obama sealed his college records? He released his birth certificate, yet never released his college records. Why? Perhaps critics have been looking in the wrong place. Is it possible Obamas college records are the weakness in his narrative? Well never know, unless the media demands access to his Columbia college files. Ghost or no ghost, he is clearly hiding something. If the media thinks Dr. Carsons claims about his college experience 40 years ago are relevant, then clearly Obamas college claims are relevant too. Its time for all of us to demand Obama release his Columbia college records. Its time for the media to scrutinize Obama the same way they are scrutinizing Ben Carson, Donald Trump, and every other GOP Presidential candidate. Dr. Carsons claims havent cost taxpayers a dime. But Obamas presidency has cost all of us dearly. If it was all built on a lie, on fraud, we have a right to know. 
3	Scotland Vote NO ... Because TERRORISMKeelan Balderson 
1	Saying that while he wasnt really in the mood to gun down a group of random strangers at the moment, mentally ill man Waylon Birch told reporters this afternoon that he was, however, happy to know the option was available to him should the urge occur. Honestly, Im just not feeling up to running into some public area and massacring dozens of innocent people with an assault weapon right now, but its nice that the option is technically always there for me in case I change my mind, said the psychotic and unhinged Birch, who takes comfort knowing he could always take some time out of his day to make a legal purchase of a semi-automatic rifle at a local gun store and then make his way to the nearest shopping mall, office, or school and murder as many people as hed like. I may not want to now, per se, but if I suddenly get the urge later today to go to the park and start shooting everyone there, that would be quite easy for me to do given our current laws. Its just nice to have options, you know? At press time, Birch told reporters that all this gun talk was actually starting to get him in the mood to visit a nearby gun store. 
1	LOS ANGELESDue to her friends' actions at, or absences from, her 22nd birthday party at the Three Of Clubs Saturday night, Angela Linton was forced to revise her list of friends Monday. Linton, who was forced to tighten her friend circle. 'Last week, I counted Sheila Miller among my very good friends,' Linton said. 'But I guess she had something a lot cooler to do on the night of my 22nd birthday. Well, I'm sorry, but if she didn't want to see me Saturday, she doesn't have to see me ever again. She's off the list.' Linton said she had roughly 75 friends last week, but the figure plummeted to less than 60 following her birthday party. The list of friends has not seen such a dramatic revision since her modern-dance performance at the Grace Unitarian Church in November 2003. Party attendance alone did not guarantee continued inclusion on the friend list. Ex-boyfriend Jack Freedman was excised for bringing an inappropriate guest to Linton's party. 'Jack showed up two hours late with his arm around some little tramp!' Linton said. 'She was so skinny she looked like she had an eating disorder, and her roots were showing. It was supposed to be a nice night to celebrate my birthday, not some sort of revolting show-and-tell for whatever slut he's sleeping with this week.' Added Linton: 'I thought he was my friend, but I guess I was wrong. Unless he makes it up to me, Jack's name has a line through it.' Those names that did remain on the list were subject to a vigorous reshuffling. Ilana Reynolds, who has been friends with Linton since middle school, slipped 11 spaces, because she spent the entire party sitting in a back booth and talking to other guests. According to Linton, Reynolds didn't even try to move closer to her, even though it was her party. 'I was like, 'I'm over here,'' Linton said. But some of Linton's friends were lucky enough to have their status raised. '[Coworker] Tony [Colella] scored real points by buying me an amaretto sourmy drinkwithout my asking,' Linton said. 'I've only been out with him a couple of times, and he totally remembered what I like. He jumped up 15 places.' Most of Linton's friends are unaware of her list. Even those who suspect that the list exists display a striking ignorance of the way their behavior affects their status. 'If she's got a list, I'm definitely on it,' said high-school friend Priya Shah, who was removed from the list after getting embarrassingly drunk on Saturday, interrupting Linton while she was telling a story, and hitting on Linton's 17-year-old brother Vince. 'I've known Angie for too long for anything to get between us. We've been through it all.' One expert called Linton's list-making a 'sign of today's fast-paced, interconnected world.' 'While older people tend to see their social circles shrinking, people in their 20s are seeing their friend groups expand to an almost unmanageable size,' said USC sociology department chair Herbert Rouse, author of More Than Grades: Keeping Score In Social Schools. 'They find they are still in touch with acquaintances from their pasthigh-school friends, family friends, former neighbors, and the likewhile at the same time their social circles are widening to include new friends from college, coworkers, and people met through activities and interests. Who's got time to deal with someone who can't even call to say they're sorry after they didn't make it to your party? I'm sorry, but no.' Although Linton is 'disappointed' in her former friends, she said only the rare excision is permanent. 'A lot of people hurt me on Saturday, and they've got their work cut out for them to win me back,' Linton said. 'But I've had friends in worse positions who've managed to make their way back onto my list. I mean, after stumbling out and stiffing me for the cab ride home, Brittany is off forever, but the others still have a shot.' 
1	Despite the fact that she wasn't doing nothing wrong, Northwood Mall security got all up in local 16-year-old Katrina Cuellar's face Monday. Cuellar stands outside Northwood Mall shortly after her clash with Boyd (inset). 'So I'm, like, hanging out on the benches with Jill [Nichols] and Amanda [Beresford] and Alicia [Hackett], and this security guy gets all up in my face and is like, 'Hey, youyou're being too loud! And clean up that mess you made!'' Cuellar said. 'That's total bullshit.' The confrontation with mall security guard Eric Boyd occurred at approximately 8 p.m. on the benches in front of Hot Topic. 'Yeah, we were hanging out, but we weren't causing no problems,' said Cuellar, who has related the injustice to nearly 30 friends throughout the Fort Wayne area. 'Then that mall cop comes up and gets all Nazi Russia on us.' Boyd disagreed with Cuellar's account of the incident. 'That pack of girls was up to no good,' said Boyd, 44, a Northwood Mall employee since February 1999. 'I had a report from Patricia at the Original Cookie Company that they had been yelling inappropriate remarks at other mall patrons, so I went up to the girls to tell them to keep it down. That's when I noticed the napkins and empty Burger King cups in the potted plants adjacent to them.' Boyd said he politely asked the girls to deposit their trash in an appropriate waste receptacle. Cuellar responded that the garbage did not belong to them. 'The girls were holding Burger King bags, and there were a number of corresponding Burger King cups and napkins in the nearby plant,' Boyd said. 'Do you mean to tell me it was merely a coincidence that these girls were eating Burger King food, and just a few feet away in the plant were Burger King items that belonged to somebody else? That seems unlikely.' Boyd informed the group that he didn't care to whom the garbage belonged, saying that Cuellar and her friends 'had better hop to it' and pick up the refuse if they wished to remain at the mall. 'That cop didn't have no right to get all up in my face,' Cuellar said. 'I'm supposed to clean up trash like I work there or something? I don't work there.' Added Cuellar: 'I got a right to go where I want. I ain't in jail or nothing.' Dorothea Lurman, a noted teens'-rights activist, expressed outrage over the incident. 'I am deeply saddened to hear that this sort of injustice is still going on in this supposedly free country,' Lurman said. 'Can't nobody just go shopping without getting hassled by some fat old mall cop?' Lurman called America's malls the 'final frontier in the fight to eliminate teenist discrimination in our society.' 'Where, if not the mall, can youths go to find a safe space in which to express their individuality free from the disapproving glare of society as a whole?' asked Lurman, author of the 1997 book Everybody Ridin' My Ass: The Youth Experience In The American Mallscape. 'Our young people desperately need a place where they can just chill and do they thing in peace.' Northwood Mall has refused to issue Cuellar and her friends an apology. 'While we are disappointed that this unfortunate incident had to happen, we stand by the actions of Mr. Boyd,' Northwood Mall general manager Ted Parrott said. 'For the safety of all of our patrons, we must strictly enforce certain rules of conduct.' According to Cuellar, this is not the first time mall authority figures have unfairly gotten up in her face. On Oct. 19, employees at Northwood Mall video arcade The Game Den reportedly jumped on Cuellar about spilling soda on a Tekken III machine. While the sign at The Game Den's entrance clearly prohibits the drinking of soda on arcade premises, Cuellar insisted that she wasn't drinking soda, merely carrying it in her hand. On Oct. 24, the iron fist of mall authority struck againthis time in the form of Gadzooks assistant manager Naomi Gronson. According to Cuellar, Gronson began bitching out Cuellar and Beresford for trying on clothing. Gronson claimed that the girls tied up one of the store's two fitting rooms for more than an hour, leaving as many as 25 items on the re-hang rack without purchasing a single item. '[Gronson] went all psycho on us, just because we didn't buy anything at her store,' Cuellar said. 'Well, just because all her clothes are gay-ass, that don't make it my fault.' So disgusted is Cuellar with her mistreatment at the hands of Northwood personnel, she is considering a boycott of the mall. 'If I want to deal with some retard who wants to ride my ass for no reason, I'll just take the bus,' Cuellar said. 'That fuckin' driver on the E-line is almost as bad as Mr. Big Shot Mall Cop.' 
3	Smallpox: A Deadly Shell GameJanet Phelan As widely reported, WHOs advisory committee on variola virus research (ACVVR), felt that the stocks should be maintained, as the live virus was still needed to develop antiviral drugs. On the opposing side, the WHOs advisory group of independent experts to review the smallpox research programme (AGIES) was reported as believing that there was no research justification for holding on to the stocks. Smallpox has killed over 500 million people in the twentieth century. A sustained global effort at vaccination resulted in the declaration, in 1980, that the world had been ridded of the deadly disease. However, other considerations besides research protocols may be playing into the reluctance of the WHO to announce the destruction of what it terms the remaining stockpiles of smallpox. There may, in fact, be far more remaining stockpiles than the WHO has copped to. Case in point is a BSL-3 in Arizona, which has been working on smallpox countermeasures for some time now. In order to create a countermeasure, a lab must have supplies of the disease agent on hand. How is it that the WHO and the CDC forgot about the Arizona lab? And how is it that the head of the lab, who was formerly with the CIA, is now denying that his lab possesses the virus, while continuing to tout its work on smallpox countermeasures? Concerns ramp up when one considers the recent incident, widely reported in the news, where scientists stumbled upon live vials of smallpox, previously unaccounted for, in an unused storeroom in a NIH lab in Bethesda, Maryland. This find effectively negates the WHOs pronouncement on the whereabouts of the remaining samples. In addition, there were reports in May of this year of the emergence of a smallpox-type disease in the Republic of Georgia, which also raises questions as to the alleged eradication of the disease. Adding more variables (or variola) to the equation is the fact that, after the breakup of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, many of the USSRs biological weapons scientists ended up out of work and were subsequently lured elsewhere, with promises of high paying jobs in other countries. While some of the scientists, such as Victor Pasechnik and Ken Alibek, defected to the US, others reportedly went to work for various Middle Eastern countries. Conditions under which these scientists were recruited make it likely they were able to bring disease cultures with them to their new employ. Indeed, following the breakup of the South African apartheid government in the 1990s, concerns were running high that the head of the biological and chemical weapons programme, Dr. Wouter Basson, might well end up peddling his expertise and bugs abroad. Nelson Mandelas new government was so impressed by these concerns that Mandela was persuaded to re-hire Basson, so as to keep tabs on him. Basson had allegedly been involved in the murder of a number of ANC officials, as well as purportedly developing a blacks-only bioweapon. This bizarre arrangement between Mandela and Basson was fairly shortlived, as Basson was subsequently arrested in 1997. Many of the South African BW and CW stockpiles were unaccounted for at the time of the change in government. WHERE ARE THE LABS? In a continuing public relations nightmare for the CDC, there were several back-to-back accidents in the same time period as the discovery of the smallpox vials in Maryland. In June of this year, at least 62 CDC employees were reported exposed to live anthrax bacteria after potentially infectious samples were sent to labs which did not have the security protocols in place to handle anthrax. And then in July, it was reported that the CDC accidentally contaminated a benign flu virus with a highly virulent one. This error resulted in the closure of two CDC-related labs. In fact, the CDC is even having trouble accounting for the whereabouts of its labs. During a 2011 interview conducted by this reporter with Lori Bane, Associate Director for Policy with the CDC Division of Select Agents and Toxins and Von Roebuck, CDC Public Affairs officer, the two stated that there were only about 250 BSL-3s and six BSL-4s in the United States. In reality, the number of level 3 labs exceeded 1350 at that time and the number of BSL-4s was at least three times the number reported by the CDC. That the WHO is stalling on issuing a directive to destroy the two reported smallpox repositories may be due to the international body being painfully aware that smallpox is not restricted to these two locations. It might be accurate to state that the WHO has no idea how many stockpiles remain, and is stalling due to its knowledge that it cannot destroy what it cannot locate. The change in the USs domestic biological weapons legislation in 2001, via Section 817 of the USA PATRIOT Act, may have given the United States leverage to become the biological weapons dealers of the world. If that is the case, then the WHO may be putting its collective head onto a chopping block by announcing the destruction of what it cannot in any likelihood control or even locate. Janet C.

3	Homeless Man Owes Government Over $110,000 In Fines For Being HomelessBy John Vibes milie Guimond-Blanger, a social worker at the Droits Devant legal clinic in Montreal spoke to the media about a case that she worked on where a homeless man racked up over $110,000 in tickets. It was shocking. Weve never seen someone with so many tickets, milie told CBC. The man had over 500 tickets, which amounted to over $110,000 in fines. The fines were mostly for things that homeless people cant control, such as sleeping in the subway or asking people for money. He had received around 500 of them [tickets]. I could see that most of the time he would receive many in the same week, sometimes by the same officers as well, she said. Its very common, to a point where I would say its a systematic experience for homeless people, she added. On a daily basis, milie deals with at least two cases where people owe at least $10,000 for the crime of being homeless. According to a study published in 2012, the homeless population of Montreal owe over $15 million in fines. Its a huge amount of money that would stress out anyone who has that as a burden. So you can just imagine how its difficult for a person to then think about rehabilitation in society when they have such a heavy debt, she said, it affects them a lot. Some of them feel like there are good citizens in society and then theres them, milie said. It was recently reported that politicians in Los Angeles are seeking to ban homeless people from sleeping in their cars, and even RVs. As we reported late last year, Florida police arrested a group of charity workers for breaking a newly-imposed law against feeding the homeless. Among those charged was a 90-year-old homeless advocate. This article (Homeless Man Owes Government Over $110,000 In Fines For Being Homeless) is free and open source.

Your government is accessing your estate since you and I were lied to about how the law works. reaperishere.weebly its almost over though There is no reason to be homeless in Canada! Our safety net is very responsive to such situations and instead of giving homeless people tickets, the authorities should be accompanying them to shelters, where they can sleep indoors. The whole idea of handing out tickets is a throwback to the days when homeless people were called bums! Those days should be long gone by now. You must be unaware that many homeless, or not most, avoid homeless shelters because of the prevalence of crimes against ones person that occurs there: theft of the little personal property they possess, assaults, sexually threatening behavior, etc. Wouldnt those same risks exist on the street? At least theyd have shelter They dont feel the streets are as dangerous as the shelters. How true this is, I cannot say, as Ive never been homeless. So far. Yes, I think there is a stubbornness factor. They feel they are in better control of their lives on the street. More control of our lives probably appeals to most of us. Also remember they cant be in the shelter from early morning until time for the evening meal, in most cases. Some shelters dont serve food at all, leaving it up to the soup kitchens and organizations such as Food Not Bombs. Yeah Im sure when the homeless population is considerable, there are many more issues. And far fewer choices. Yeah, thats pretty typical of smaller cities and towns. I would not like to be homeless in the town I grew up in. But I mean, or course, I wouldnt like being homeless anywhere. The bigger cities have more options and better facilities, so theyre like magnets to the homeless. You can judge, to an extent, how well a place treats its homeless by how many homeless you see on the streets. Start up a kitchen, Jenjen. Could be your calling? Certainly be rewarding. I used to run a mens group. All sorts of blokes shared things they dont like to talk about. It was challenging but rewarding. Then i ended up with a whole heap of s*** of my own to sort out, lol! Now we have have mens sheds all around Australia I like that idea i did plant a huge garden last year. And gave away free veggies from my front yard regularly. You bet Im unaware of that. I think if such egregious activities are occurring it is outrageous and authorities are derelict in their duty. I cooked for a multi-church homeless outreach in Las Vegas and have hired homeless men over a period of several years. I myself was homeless for several years following my time in the military during Vietnam. I finally got hired by a guy who gave me a chance. I won best employee out of 400 employees (brought in more revenue, received more customer congrats) two years in a row. From there, I went to an international company where I also received commendations for my work. About age 60, the old ticker (heart issues) cost me my commercial license and from there I hired homeless men to do the heavy stuff. Theres a lot to say, not all homeless are there for the same reason nor have the same prospects if they are helped. But fining and jailing them for running out of money is itself a damn crime. Where in the U.S. Constitution did it except from inalienable rights those who run out of money? where in the U.S. Constitution did it except from inalienable rights those who run out of money? Excellent question. I think they are talking about Canada. Its still a shame, and another example of how governments are turning against the people on a more open basis. milie Guimond-Blanger, a social worker at the Droits Devant legal clinic in Montreal spoke to the media about a case that she worked on where a homeless man racked up over $110,000 in tickets. The constitution was never intended to protect the rights of the individual, but to establish the authority of the state. Proof? Look around. PS, thanks for sharing your story. Thanks for bein a troll. He who smelt it dealt it. if that were the case the government wouldnt have to continually violate itthe constitution was set up to protect us from the governmentall their abuses come from violating the constitution, not obeying it The government was set up to protect the government and certain elite from us, not the other way around. If the government was established to protect us, then how do you explain prisons full of people who committed no crime against another person? How do you explain pre-emptive wars weve been forced to pay for based on untruths? How do you explain the transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthy in deals like Solyndra? The constitution granted powers that allowed slavery. Those powers were supported by the Supreme Court in decisions so direct they even prescribed that law enforcement had to return slaves to slave owners. I have friends who can speak in far more detail about the specific clauses of the constitution that made sure that it didnt protect people from government, but made government superior to the rights of people in everything that matters. If you want to get right down to it. the constitution does not involve you or me, or in fact, any living person. The constitution is a contract. For any contract to be valid, it must be signed by all parties involved, simply put, if your wet ink signature, along with the wet ink signature of all involved would have to be on the document. A dead person can not contract for you. When the person dies, that persons contract can not be moved to the next in line. So for the Constitution to be legal and binding, Whoever owns the UNITED STATES CORPORATION, (AND IT IS NOT the people), would have to sign in wet ink, and each and every person in the united States, would have to sign the document. Of course if the owners changed, any of the document were changed, (new law), then the entire signing process would have to start all over. After all of that there are other rules that govern contracts which would make the constitution invalid, null and void, such as any contract, in which EVER ASPECT HAS to be completely open and explained, or the contract is null and void. The whole of the US government is a huge mind F##k. Well said and especially worth noting that no single person today participated in the so called contract. People do love to call it that and yet a contract does need two voluntary parties, otherwise it would be coercive demand an edict. Every government system is a mind frack, the US Constitution maybe especially so because of the grand illusions of rights so ably made center piece. Dead letter is the term I do feel most aptly applies, since the rights are all immediately dismissed with and overridden. Lewis does a fine job of dissembling the constitution for people on a regular basis, very good reading. He is a very educated man who seeks knowledge, not extinct, but surly endangered these days. I have a lot of respect for him, yet i would not cross the street to urinate on any government minion if they were on fire. Americans are so blind. Friday walking my grandson from school to my truck, i stumbled onto a sale where a retired naval officer was selling out he and his wifes whole life, except a few cherished things, going to assisted living. This man had been a reader. they were selling hard backs for two dollars. I spent Fri. and Sat, right at two hundred on books. But things on history, politics, government that you just are not going to find in print anymore, history unrevised in recent years. I heard more than one person who was going through the books, looking for ones they could put on Ebay or resell. They would say, look, this one is worth a good bit. The fools did not understand that they held something worth much more in their hands, truth, (as close as you are likely to get), knowledge. And they could not wait to get rid of it to make a couple of bucks. The constitution was never intended to protect the rights of the individual, but to establish the authority of the state. Proof? Look around. More specifically, the Constitution was intended to establish the authority of the communalist state. What we see when we look around is what happens when the most basic law of the land guarantees no individual rights that cannot be repealed by some form of the majority through their representatives. Democrats have already promised to repeal part of the 1st Amendment guarantee of free speech by overturning Citizens United and banning hate speech. Everything else is subject to tyranny of the majority, from our light bulbs to our toilet tanks. Great post, Bobby. Well done Now this homeless man can work off his fines by participating in the for-profit prison slave system. Since its Lent, everyone should eat some farm-raised, prison grown tilapia. Proving once again how idiotic government and jewstice system collide to get blood from a turnip. They would have these folks in stocks for kids to throw tomatoes at if they could. Picking on homeless is absurd. 
1	DAYTONA BEACH, FLLocal police investigating a near-fatal Daytona Beach hit-and-run case say that the perpetrator has very likely returned to the scene of the crime every 47.72 seconds after critically injuring a visiting race fan earlier today. 'We have several dozen reports of a man matching the description of our suspect, who multiple witnesses identify as a Caucasian male in his mid-30s to early 40s driving a colorfully painted late-model domestic sedan, passing by the crime scene at extremely regular intervals without stopping or slowing since striking the victim this morning,' investigating officer Crocker Burnett told reporters earlier today. 'Unfortunately, the incident occurred in an extremely high-traffic area, and furthermore, due to local traffic velocity, officers' attempts to pull over the large number of recurring motorists on this particular stretch of road who match the description have thus far proven fruitless.' Police say the victim, who some say seemed to recognize either his assailant or his assailant's car, has not yet regained consciousness after being catapulted several hundred yards by a car that was almost certainly traveling at extralegal speeds. 
1	Residents in a downtown apartment questioned the goals and motives of the bugs infesting their home this week after watching cockroaches wander aimlessly from room to room with no apparent objective. 'At first I thought they were just searching for food,' Valerie Dicaro said Wednesday, adding that she figured the bugs would have their act together by now, considering it's been six months. 'But then I saw a bunch of them in the hallway, where there's no food at all. What exactly is the game plan here?' Dicaro stated that if the bugs fail to make any progress soon, she might have to kill them. 
3	Heres the New Study the Fracking Industry Doesnt Want You to SeeBy Claire Bernish Using human bronchial epithelial cells, which are commonly used to measure the carcinogenesis of toxicants, researchers confirmed fracking flowback water from the Marcellus Shale caused the formation of malignancies. After conducting further tests on live mammalian subjects, researchers found five of six mice injected with cells transformed from well water treatments developed tumors as early as 3 months after injection, including a tumor in one mouse that grew to over 1 cm in size in just five months. A control group did not develop any tumors for the six months of the study period. According to the study, performed by scientists from the Department of Environmental Medicine, as well as Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmaceutical at New York University, the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers, and esteemed partners from universities in China results indicate fracking flowback water causes cancer. Implications of the reports findings would be difficult to overstate considering how fracking wastewater is generated, stored, and treated, and how often spills, leaks and even the wastewater injection process, itself can lead to contamination of the potable supply. A concise but thorough explanation of the fracking process can be found in the introduction to the report, Malignant human cell transformation of Marcellus Shale gas drilling flow back water, which states: Natural gas is believed to possibly be a bridge to transitioning from coal dependence. Currently natural gas fuels nearly 40% of the U.S. electricity generation, and the Marcellus Shale formation in the Appalachian Basin is on the forefront of gas-shale drilling for natural gas production in the United States. Mining natural gas is not new, but the volume has soared in recent years because the new technique of high-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing (HVHHF). The concern surrounding the environmental, public health, and social impacts of this method has increased accordingly. HVHHF is an advanced technology that injects water, sand, and other ingredients at very high pressure vertically into a well about 6000 to 10,000 feet deep. The high pressure creates fractures in the rock that extend out as far as 1000 ft away from the well. The pressure is reduced after the fractures are created, which allows water from the well to return to the surface, also known as flow back water [or flowback]. The flow back water contains complex proprietary chemical mixtures, but also naturally occurring toxins such as metals, volatile organics, and radioactive compounds that are destabilized during gas extraction. On average, 5.5 million gallons of water is used to hydraulically fracture each shale gas well, and 30% to 70% of the volume returns as flow back water. Options for dealing with this flowback are somewhat limited. The report continues: Currently discharge options of flow back water are: inject underground through an onsite or offsite disposal well; discharge to a nearby surface water body; transport to a municipal wastewater treatment plant or publicly owned treatment works; or other treatment, transport, and/or reuse options. But concerns about the contents and impacts of wastewater are the reason researchers studied its effects: Metal pollution is a serious problem as they are taken up readily in the digestive tract and exhibit harmful effects on many tissues. Barium and strontium are abundant in the Marcellus Shale formation, and are easily dissolved and transported in wastewater after gas drilling activity, which could potentially pose a threat to drinking water. In fact, in 2014, environmental consulting firm Downstream Strategies diligently attempted to track fracking water from Marcellus Shale drilling both water withdrawn from sources for use in the process, as well as wastewater but found it to be a nearly impossible task. We just couldnt do it, said staff scientist Meghan Betcher, according to Yales e360. Regulatory requirements that would otherwise divulge where these massive quantities of water end up are simply not in place. According to the Downstream Strategies study, gas companies use up to 4.3 million gallons of clean water to frack a single well, and more than half of the wastewater is treated and discharged into surface waters such as rivers and streams. Additionally, in 2013, Duke University geochemists published a study that found dangerous levels of radioactivity and salinity at a fracking disposal site near Blacklick Creek, which feeds into water sources for Pittsburgh and other western Pennsylvania cities. Even more disturbingly, after studying soil samples for two years, between 2010 and 2012, After wastewater was treated at the plant to remove dangerous chemicals, radiation was detected far above regulated levels. Each day, oil and gas producers generate 2 billion gallons of wastewater, Duke Professor Rob Jackson stated, asBusiness Insider reported. Though the disposal site near Blacklick Creek has since ostensibly agreed to stop storing or treating Marcellus Shale fracking waste, the industry is far from clean or transparent. They produce more wastewater than hydrocarbons, said Jackson of the natural gas industry. Thats the broader implication of [the Duke] study. We have to do something with this wastewater. Considering the Marcellus Shale study and the now-proven cancer link, fracking wastewater just became enormously important to millions of people living near thousands of wells in the United States, as well as other countries. As the Downstream Strategies researchers found, due to lack of regulatory reporting requirements for the fracking industry aided greatly by its exemption from the Safe Drinking Water Act by law in 2005 the fate of 62 percent of fracking waste is unknown. Researchers for the carcinogenicity study of flowback claim progress with their findings, identifying barium and strontium as traceable fracking contaminates, which they say should now be designated for further study. As the study concludes: Research to determine whether fracking-associated pollutants can migrate to private or public drinking wells, to identify early warning indicators of exposure and effect, and to identify suitable remediation approaches are urgently needed.

2	Illegal Immigrants Everywhere Just Got Delivered Some Horrible News [VIDEO] Senator Rand Pauls outspoken objection to the new bipartisan budget deal has gone viral on social media, after being featured on Facebook by Sen. Mike Lee. This is how it happens, Lee wrote. Last night while you were sleeping, the Senate voted to steal $150 billion dollars from the Social Security Trust Fund. I joined 34 of my colleagues in a vote to prevent this raid. I would like to thank Senator Rand Paul for leading the fight to protect Social Security from the thieves in Washington, who seem to think that if they steal from the American people at night while they are sleeping that they will get away with it. I was proud to vote with Senator Paul on his point of order that would have protected Social Security, and I ask you to help me shine a light on what Washington has tried to hide from you in the darkness of night. More than a million Americans have shared the clip. In a recent interview, Paul called the budget agreement a rotten deal and made claims that it gives Obama unlimited borrowing power until his term ends. What do you think of Pauls comments?

1	President Clinton breathed easier for a full day Monday after using Flonase prescription nasal spray, White House sources confirmed. 'Flonase did not make me drowsy or keep me awake like some antihistamines and decongestants,' the jubilant, decongested chief executive told reporters at a Rose Garden press conference. Clinton noted that Flonase is non-addictive and can be used by children as young as four. 'Side effects are generally mild and may include headache, nosebleed or sore throat; only your doctor or healthcare provider can determine if Flonase is right for you,' added Clinton before providing reporters with a toll-free number where additional information on the Glaxo Wellcome product can be obtained. 
1	Describing it as a terrible tragedy that has sent shockwaves throughout the region, sources confirmed Thursday that a hit-and-run driver struck and killed a prominent member of the local deer community. Reports indicate that the respected and popular white-tailed doe, who was widely regarded as a generous, loving mother of two fawns, was returning home at dusk when she was hit by a driver in an SUV who immediately fled the scene after the fatal accident. This is a difficult day for everyone in the thicket; seeing such a model deer cut down in her prime is heartbreaking, said a local buck, adding that the upstanding doe had been a pillar of the deer community who was known to show genuine altruism and provide support to the herd during times of hardship and scarce foraging opportunities. Just yesterday, I saw her rooting around for acorns. And now shes gone. Im still struggling to believe this is real. She was just so full of life, the buck continued. Its hard to imagine the forest clearing without her. I dont know how anyone could run her down in their car and then just leave her lying there on the side of the road. Were never going to forget her. Sources confirmed that the close-knit deer community is currently reeling from the painful loss, with many saying that the recently passed doe touched numerous lives with her warmth and gentle nuzzles. According to local woodland residents, the doe will be remembered as a friendly deer who enjoyed tender buds, loved streams, bounded through the forest with great energy, and was always willing to share a soft patch of grass with fellow deer looking for a place to rest. Sources stated that the hit-and-run incident that prematurely claimed the does life was particularly devastating, as the beloved and loyal doe had reportedly helped keep up morale during last years harsh winter, especially on one memorable occasion when she led the group to a grove with edible cedar bark. She was a tremendous leader with a big heart. I keep thinking Ill see her come trotting through the dense underbrush like she used to, but I have to accept that shes really gone, said a local deer, explaining that the notable doe had spent her whole life in the same stretch of woods, surviving two forest fires. Even though I was just a yearling, I can still remember the time she prevented a major catastrophe by warning all of us about an approaching coyote with a series of loud grunts. I dont know how anyone could run her down in their car and then just leave her lying there on the side of the road, continued the deer, pausing to compose himself. Were never going to forget her. Though she was roundly celebrated for her strength and leadership in the deer community, sources confirmed that many of the areas younger deer also looked up to the doe for grooming tips, citing her healthy coat and the fact that she rarely had ticks. In addition, numerous local deer noted that the circumstances of her passing were especially tragic given that the doe had maintained her loving devotion to her mate throughout his battle with bluetongue virus, which he succumbed to just last fall. At press time, a small group of deer had gathered near a copse of conifer trees to pay their last respects to the deceased doe, with many bleating uncontrollably. 
1	Pausing to imagine the throngs of people who must have arrived with them that day back in 1994, 12-year-old Max Bertrand reportedly spent his visit to Ellis Island this afternoon walking around the same immigrant station his grandparents once toured. These must be the exact entrance doors that Grandpa and Grandma came through, and the hallway their 10 a.m. group walked through, said Bertrand, recalling his grandparents description of the crowds who shuffled along with maps in hand after they stopped by the information kiosk and visited the model replica of the island. Wow, these are the same inspection rooms that they stopped in with the park ranger, and this must be the TV with the constantly looping documentary that Grandma mentioned. Right now were seeing exactly what she mustve seen when she came through here 20 years ago. Bertrand told reporters that while he found the experience moving, he would likely never be able to truly understand how his grandfather felt when he was informed that the gift shop was closed. 
2	BREAKING: Ferguson Police Officer Just Fired For Very Strange Reason Recently, reports from Ferguson have centered on heightened racial tensions and incidents of violence and intimidation from both protestors and authorities. Police officer Ray Albers made the decision to resign, after he was accused of pointing a rifle at a Ferguson protestor not to long ago. The incident occurred in the middle of a hostile exchange between the two. Albers actions were videotaped and posted online, sparking outrage. Of course, the video did not show the full story, which was that Albers had been on the police force for nearly 20 years before the chief requested his resignation. Likely, Albers was just attempting to defend himself. Another police officer was recently fired for the comments that he posted on Facebook regarding the riots. According to reports, Matthew Pappert of the Glendale police department, was fired after publicly declaring that protestors should be put down like rabid dogs. The department later released a statement that claimed the views and opinions of Pappert did not represent the city of Glendale or the police department. Although Pappert expressed remorse and apologize for his comments, many Americans question if either officer would have been fired if it werent for race being such a strong focal point. What do you think? Were these officers right to resign or are they victims of the media? 
1	Following a recent game in New York, Cleveland Cavaliers forward and league MVP LeBron James confessed his desire to quit basketball and pursue a career as a cast member of Saturday Night Live. 'As a kid, I was just so inspired by unbelievable performances from guys like Chris Kattan and Cheri Oteri,' said James as he went into a diatribe on what makes Mango 'as classic as The Festrunk Brothers,' the Steve Martin and Dan Akroyd routine better known as 'Two Wild and Crazy Guys.' 'When I hosted earlier this season, I could see the current Weekend Update team of Seth [Myers] and Amy [Poehler] could definitely use some help, and the least I could do is punch it up with a few characters and commentaries I've been working on. Plus, they need someone to play Obama.' James later admitted that during away games to Chicago, he has been one of dozens of athletes secretly taking improvisation and sketch-writing classes at The Second City. 
2	This Country Just Shamed Michelle Obama, Purposefully Embarrassing Her [VIDEO] We all know that Michelle Obamas effort to amend school lunch programs around the nation has failed miserably. What fewer people know is that while we continue to struggle in what seems to be a very simple area, the French are happily eating their lunches without the help of the government. And guess what? They arent suffering from childhood obesity the way that we are. According to reports, French students are not facing the same problems as American children because they are eating moderate quantities of freshly prepared food. Theyre also exercising more frequently, with more time to run around on the playground throughout the school day. In fact, French school meals are prepared by a chef, and menus are outlined nearly two months in advance, at which point they are approved by a dietician. Meals are cooked fresh, daily, and then served a pre-set tables of four. Meanwhile, Americans are shuffled through cafeteria lines where they are forced to eat tiny portions of unsatisfying food. What do you think? Does Michelle need to rethink her meal plan immediately? 
1	Pushing himself to the physical brink in the bitter cold wilderness high in the Alps, Pope Francis reportedly began training Friday for this years upcoming Easter Mass by dragging a wooden pew loaded with rocks across the snow. No stopping now; the weak never finish, said the sweat-drenched bishop of Rome, pausing briefly to splash his face with holy water before continuing the workout by trudging through waist-high snow while shouldering a heavy wooden crucifix. Come on focus, Jorge. You gotta keep fighting. You can withstand the pain and fatigue. Your body, mind, and soul are getting stronger. Just a few more days until the Resurrection. All this works going to pay off when youre up there on that balcony at St. Peters. At press time, sources confirmed His Holiness had switched to an uptempo song on the mix of Easter hymns playing through his earbuds and began speed training by bobbing and weaving around a swinging thurible. 
3	Globalist Mouthpiece Calls For The Entire Planet To Adopt Digital National Identification SystemMichael Snyder The Economist, a well-known mouthpiece for the global elite, is calling for the entire planet to adopt this national identification system that the little nation of Estonia has adopted. The Economist is touting all of the benefits of a national identification card, but are there dangers as well? Could adopting such a system potentially open the door for greater government tyranny than we have ever known before? The Economist article about this national identification scheme went largely unnoticed because it had a very boring title: Estonia takes the plunge. But the content of the article is absolutely startling. The Economist article calls the Estonian national identification system a cyberdream and makes it sound like it will solve all of our problems There is one place where this cyberdream is already reality. Secure, authenticated identity is the birthright of every Estonian: before a newborn even arrives home, the hospital will have issued a digital birth certificate and his health insurance will have been started automatically. All residents of the small Baltic state aged 15 or over have electronic ID cards, which are used in health care, electronic banking and shopping, to sign contracts and encrypt e-mail, as tram tickets, and much more besideseven to vote. That has left a gap in the global marketone that Estonia hopes to fill. Starting later this year, it will issue ID cards to non-resident satellite Estonians, thereby creating a global, government-standard digital identity. Applicants will pay a small fee, probably around 30-50 ($41-68), and provide the same biometric data and documents as Estonian residents. If all is in order, a card will be issued, or its virtual equivalent on a smartphone (held on a special secure module in the SIM card). Some good ideas never take off because too few people embrace them. And with just 1.3m residents, Estonia is a tiddlereven with the 10m satellite Estonians the government hopes to add over the next decade. What may provide the necessary scale is a European Union rule soon to come into force that will require member states to accept each others digital IDs. That means non-resident holders of Estonian IDs, wherever they are, will be able not only to send each other encrypted e-mail and to prove their identity to web-service providers who accept government-issued identities, but also to do business with governments anywhere in the EU. The Economist hopes that Estonia will become a model that the rest of the world will follow. But do we really want government to have that much control over our lives? If we need this digital identity card to go shopping, do banking or get health care, it would also give the government the power to revoke those privileges in a heartbeat. Already there are countless examples of how governments around the world are using information databases in abusive ways. For instance, one new lawsuit in the U.S. alleges that average citizens have been put in a terror database for doing such things as buying computers and waiting for family members at train stations. Do we really want to go even further down this road? And of course identity cards can be lost, stolen and forged. The next logical step would be to permanently implant our identity cards. To many older Americans, such a notion sounds ludicrous, but many younger Americans are so eager to adopt this kind of technology that they are actually doing it to themselves. Just check out the following excerpt from a recentNBC News article about biohackers In tattoo parlors and basements around the world, people are turning themselves into cyborgs by embedding magnets and computer chips directly into their bodies. They call themselves biohackers, cyborgs and grinders. With each piece of technology they put beneath their skin, they are exploring the boundaries and the implications of fusing man and machine. Welcome to the world of biohacking. Its a niche community at the literal bleeding edge of body modification, and it attracts fervent fans from a variety of schools of thought. Some simply enjoy experimenting with new tech. Others use the magnets and chips for utilitarian purposes. Does that sound creepy to you? It should. But it isnt just people on the fringes of society that are interested in these kinds of technologies. For example, electronics giant LG says that it wants to put an electronic tracking device on your child Various tech companies have introduced wearabledevices over the last few years that track your steps or heartbeat and even deliver your e-mails to your wrist. Is electronically tracking your kid the next frontier? LG announced a new device Wednesday morning, the KizON wristband, designed to let parents keep track of their childs whereabouts. The KizON uses GPS, WiFi and mobile Internet signals to identify the users location in real time and sends the information to an Android app. And billionaire Bill Gates is helping to develop an implant thatacts as a contraceptive for 16 years Helped along by one of the worlds most notable billionaires, a U.S. firm is developing a tiny implant that acts as a contraceptive for 16 years and can be turned on or off using a remote control. The birth control microchip, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, would hold nearly two decades worth of a hormone commonly used in contraceptives and dispense 30 micrograms a day, according to a report from the MIT Technology Review. The new birth control, which is set to begin preclinical testing next year with hopes of putting it on shelves in 2018, can be implanted in the buttocks, upper arm or abdomen. Whether you are ready or not, these technologies are coming. For now, they are voluntary. But eventually a day may come when you will be required to have an identity chip in order to buy, sell, conduct banking, have a job or go to the hospital. When that day arrives, what will you do?

1	Reacting sharply to the news that Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett may have continuing problems with a strained right oblique muscle, the Dow Jones industrial average dropped 713 points Wednesday to close at 10,180 as skittish investors reacted to reports that the ace may not start Game 3 against Anaheim. 'Trading is definitely volatile at this point, a result of Fed chair Ben Bernanke's warning of the specter of vastly reduced liquidity and Boston manager Terry Francona's tepid grade of Josh's side session this morning,' Boston Globe business columnist Steven Syre reported Thursday. 'That's a loss of over a trillion dollars in value for the market and possibly a much more crucial loss for the Red Sox.' The record plunge set a single-day mark for baseball-player-related market losses, more than doubling the 342-point loss suffered earlier this year when the pork-belly futures market collapsed at news of Prince Fielder's newfound vegetarianism. 
2	Trey Gowdy Unleashes On Democrats In A Way He Never Has Before... Hes Holding Nothing Back In the last week, social media has erupted with Trump supporters ecstatic to see Democrats finally getting what they deserve. In his two terms as president, Barack Obama has broken countless rules. His disobedience has only given more power to the executive branch, which will now work in Donald Trumps favor. Almost exactly a year ago, Trey Gowdy warned liberals about this very thing. The clip has recently resurfaced because of its remarkable relevance to where we are today. Let me say this to those who benefit from the presidents policies: you may be willing to allow the end to justify the means in this case, Gowdy began. Ill make you this promise, he continued. There will come a day where you will cry out for the enforcement of the law. There will come a day when you long for the law to be the foundation of this republic. If you weaken it today, you weaken it forever, he concluded. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Did Gowdys prediction just come to fruition?

2	This Election Is Being Rigged Mike Pence Just Released The Saddest Evidence In American History Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence has acknowledged that he and his running mate, Donald Trump, are facing an uphill battle in this election. The media has been remarkably biased during this election, and its becoming more obvious each day that the election is slanted in Hillarys favor. In a recent statement, Pence articulated the fact that the press continues to publish unsubstantiated claims against Trump as if they are fact. Yet, they overlook all of the criminal revelations that have come out about Hillary Clinton through Wikileaks. Revelations coming out of Secretary of State Clintons years in the State Department and the Clinton Foundation are virtually ignored by the national media, Pence argued. We discovered this week that State Department officials actually directed contracts for the Haitian recovery after the earthquake to friends of the Clintons. Literally, that got almost no media attention. Its one of the reasons why so many Americans feel like the election is being rigged by a national media thats constantly trying to change the subject away from and practice willful ignorance toward the corruption and misdeeds and pay for play politics of the Clintons, Pence concluded. What do you think? Do you agree that the bias in the media has gotten completely out of hand? Do mainstream journalists need to be held accountable for their actions? 
3	65,000% Spike in Radiation Outside New York Nuclear Plant is Likely Worse than FukushimaBy Jay Syrmopoulos The Indian Point nuclear plant is located on the Hudson River, approximately 25 miles North of NYC, and serves the electrical needs of an estimated 2 million people. Last month, while preparing a reactor for refueling, workers accidentally spilled some contaminated water, containing the radioactive hydrogen isotope tritium, causing a massive radiation spike in groundwater monitoring wells, with one wells radioactivity increasing by as much as 65,000 percent. Entergy, the Louisiana-based company that owns the plant, chalked up the readings to fluctuations that can be expected as the material migrates. According to Entergy, the tritium contaminated water spill was contained within the plant, and never reached the Hudson or any other water source. There is no impact to public health or safety, Entergy spokeswoman Patricia Kakridas told RT. Of course, the tritium leak is the ninth in just the past year, four of which were serious enough to shut down the reactors. But the most recent leak, however, according to an assessment by the New York Department of State as part of its Coastal Zone Management Assessment, contains a variety of radioactive elements such as strontium-90, cesium-137, cobalt-60, and nickel-63, and isnt limited to tritium contamination. Despite the assurances from Entergy, the area around Indian Point is a cancer cluster, with the local rate of thyroid cancer rates registering at 66 percent higher than the national average, according to Joseph Mangano, Executive Director of the Radiation and Public Health Project (RPHP). According to a report by RT: RPHP researchers compared the state and national cancer data from 1988-92 with three other five-year periods (1993-97, 1998-02, and 2003-07). The results, published in 2009, show the cancer rates going from 11 percent below the national average to 7 percent above in that timespan. Unexpected increases were detected in 19 out of 20 major types of cancer. Thyroid cancer registered the biggest increase, going from 13 percent below the national average to 51 percent above. Incredibly, Entergy completely rejects the notion that their plants operations have caused an increase in cancer rates. There is no relation whatsoever, Kakridas claimed. When the study was conducted by RPHP, over 20 million people lived within a 50-mile radius of the nuclear plant. Everybody who lives near a nuclear plant is exposed to radiation. Some plants are worse than others, Mangano told RT. In the case of Indian Point, it is a very old plant, and there is a greater danger because of a large population living close by. Numerous environmental groups call the latest problems just a symptom of a much larger issue and Gov. Andrew Cuomo is partnering with organizations The Sierra Club, Riverkeepers, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, the Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition, Scenic Hudson and Physicians for Social responsibility in seeking the permanent closure of the plant. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission sent a representative to the Indian Point plant, Neil Sheehan, who told CBS News that the NRC is continuing to review the recent tritium leakage at Indian Point. We recently sent a radiation protection specialist to the plant to assess the situation and learn more about what happened. He was assisted by our three Resident Inspectors assigned to the plant on a full-time basis, he wrote in an email to CBS. NRC is also currently reviewing Indian Points renewal license, which would authorize it to continue operating for another 20 years. Its a disaster waiting to happen and it should be shut down, Paul Gallay, president of Riverkeeper, a watchdog organization dedicated to protecting the Hudson River, told CBS News. The good news is, advances in alternate power sources, grid management and energy conservation have brought us to the day when the aging, unsafe Indian Point can close, Gallay said. He pointed out numerous sources of energy for the region, including 600 megawatts in transmission system upgrades and another 500 megawatts available through energy savings achieved through efficiency and renewable energy. There will be enough power to keep the lights on in our homes and hospitals, our businesses and schools in every place that makes our communities healthy and vibrant, Gallay said. U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer has rejected calls for the immediate closure of the nuclear power plant by Cuomo and environmental groups, saying they should first demonstrate how to replace the energy produced at the power plant, which supplies 25 percent of the power to the New York City area. I have told some of the environmental people, if you can show me a plan to figure out a way to replace that electricity, fine, but if you cant, its going to raise electricity rates 30 or 40 percent, which are high enough on average people and thats not the way to go. In the meantime, I have emphasized very strong safety, Schumer said. While Schumers sentiments are understandable, the reality is that the sheer economic health costs of this plants operation far exceed the savings in energy bills. With so many alternative sources of producing clean energy, the reasoning for keeping such a toxic plant operational is baffling. One can safely assume that there is some vested financial interest in keeping this plant running; as always, simply follow the money.

Chuck Schumer thinks its ok to let you die from cancer from a utility you have no control over, but its not ok for you to be a law abiding gun owner. What a POS he is Agreed Smarty.Chucky isnt afraid of sick dying unarmed citizens. He is concerned of healthy Armed American Patriots who had enough of his crap. You got it! yep Lol. New York is foreigners and libtards. Man are you that stoooooopid. It is both the liberals and the conservatives, the Republicans and the Democrats. A lot of the foreigners are much smarter than Americans as we are the brainwashed millions who cant think for yourself. Foreigners and Libtards jeez, go crawl under a heavy unstable rock. You mean JewYork? You changed your name from Koch, didnt you? The Government wants to kill more than half of the US Citizens. Illegal aliens, they want to kill you too!!! They want to kill them LATER. They still have use for them. Yes, they are Obummers new home grown military. slaves Since Indian Point is heavily subsidized in the millions, why would there be a increase in electricity bills? This is nonsense! Has anyone heard of Oyster Creek Salem nuclear facilities in NJ. Both Fukishima-like reactors produce 2% above what is needed to generate the plants themselves. Why are they open and subsidized by the millions while killing wildlife and killing children with cancer? Because one hand greases the other and both grease the face. You can follow the $ trail easily. This is why we have to get rid of capitalism, a satanic system that worships $ over people. If Oyster Creek or Salem go, there will be no America to talk about. Thank God 9/11 was perpetuated by our government. Imagine if we had real terrorists and they hit these power plants? You are confusing Corporatism with Capitalism. Im no rabid fan of the latter, but its not comparable to Corporatism. Theres is no reason to continue using nuclear power plants. Germany has shut down all their nuclear power plants after the Chernobyl disaster in the Ukraine. The leadership of Japan and the U.S. apparently is not as wise. There are technologies presently suppressed, which can extract energy from the vacuums of space, as described in Secret Science and the Secret Space Program. Yup. Its all part of humanity. Those at the top that have made money with archaic thinking suppress alternatives. That goes for science, medicine, and technology in general. yes indeed Germany closed down its nuclear plant without any proper plan, and replacing the nuclear sources mostly by coal source. If this mess in New York gets out of hand its going to be a lot worse and more widespread. Electricity rates exploded because of all the restrictions on coal The radicalized Muslim sympathizer were still having to deal with til next January pledged to bankrupt the coal industry with restrictions and taxes so of course the prices exploded. There should have been a contingency plan with coal to fall back on. Jumping into nuclear anything before you have a plan that will control leaks even worse a core meltdown. .. is playing Russians with hundreds of thousands, even millions of lives. Sad but maybe it would clean up some of our leaders there that do nothing in regards to these damaging consequences that are caused by who take corners that will not benefit America but have huge problems for many many years. These are chances we do not need to gamble with. Our so called luxuries today are not worth the devastating effects of tomorrow. Have you been following Trumps support of the coal industry? I have. No I have not. In all honesty I havent checked out any candidates on coal. You have given me a new project to study up on Thank you. Coal burning technology is even more obsolete than nuclear power and, as you say, is also damaging to the environment. The point I wish to make is that much better technology exists that is cleaner and cheaper, that has been suppressed by the powers that be so that they can still profit by using obsolete and damaging to the environment, technology. Germany is in the process of turning nuclear into coal until they can figure out how to make electricity even more expensive. I still see nuclear energy as a better alternative than green energy. Well you dont like this country because nuclear power plants when they leak radiation it doesnt go away it stays there permanently and it kills people forever are you that ignorant. Nuclear radiation destroys everything fore ever. Apparently you dont care for this planet. Do you remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Stop with your ridiculous accusations and worries about what may come. Im sure the key is to not have a leak? Nuclear power is quite safe. I think it is you who doesnt love our planet or else you would know the problems with solar and wind technology which are not economically efficient and do their own destruction. Google our oceans, the radiation leaks from underground testing, our rivers and streams, our government chem-trails, fluoride in our water systems. Some care about the planet and what we leave to those who have lent it to us. When we are gone and our children stand in our place, what do you you wish to leave them? A planet of disease, little air quality with nothing but contaminated water to drink? The food chain dead from these contaminates? Dont be so selfish. If you wish to show an example, why dont you move to some of these areas and be one? You idiots who believe in evolution sure are bleak, definitely glass half empty bunch. The World is fine but if you want to do more than buy some land and take care of it. Hilary trying to shut down coal Modern Nuclear plants are very safe. Its a great source of energy, new reactors very efficient. There is still not enough renewable energy cost efficient or reliable enough to utilize on a replacement basis at the current time. I must disagree. Fission reactors are plagued with problems no matter how modern. The atomic decay causes damage to the reactor material eventually causing control rods to jam and other mechanical problems. The safe disposal of radioactive waste still has not been solved. If atomic energy is to be used, it should be based on proven cold fusion technology, like that of Andrea Rossi. Perfectly safe, except for all that nuclear waste they leak out. Oh wait, thats just radiation. Perfectly safe, because you dont have enough money to win a lawsuit against them. One leak is too many. If the greed of money did not control this nation or any other nation for that matter, Tesla and his free power, the 150 mile plus carburetorThese people were bought out or killed so the money hungry savages that rule keep a steady flow of money world be dammed! These very people who represent them are bought out thinking they have a place after their duty is done yet will have a huge awakening ahead of them. If it is not from their masters it will be by the wrath of God. Have you noticed the oil glut of late? They want to kill us all, what better way than radiation poisoning? Its a good thing nuclear power is safer than coal not My coal burner cost me $400 including installation. but if I had the money for a nuclear reactor well then. When even an American educated individual finds this of interest it is long past time for alarms to ring . . . According to Entergy: fluctuations that can be expected as the material migrates. Why am I not re-assured by that statement? One helluva fluctuation .. 65,000 percent! NO WAY is this a Fukushima-level event. Its far from great, but there is some good news, in that Tritiums half-life in the human body is only 7-14 days. Time for a revolution. Part of the NWO Satanic Illuminati plan to cull the herd. You cant see, smell or detect radiation with any of our 5 senses considering were only privy to 3.5% of the whole electro/magnetic spectrum we wont know until its waaaay toooo late when it bites us all on the assunless of course, they have magic pills or scaler frequency tech to ameliorate the threat to their healthhow come David Rockefeller/ Prince Phillip /Henry Kissinger /Sheldon Adelson/.Geo.Soros et al most of the Rothschild zionist /royal bloodlines just wont die?maybe they have access to pure monatomic gold as their elixir of the godswhich . gives these Chosen Ones protection from radiation -chemtrails etc the normal effects of aging etc (altho they sure aint pretty-lol) the normally slow deteriorating chromosomal telomeres of theirs, are somehow rejuvenated???Churchill drank like a fish smoked cigars almost made it to100go figure. anti-semitic enough? Sorry, if the shoe fits i love me some good old anti-semitism served up with my ecological catastrophes. hopefully you will succumb asap you disgusting excuse for a human. By anti-semitism you mean reality? I think I just flushed out a hopelessly inculcated negatively programmed extremely selfish coveting religious zealot HATER. that suffers from toxoplasmosis ..a form of virulent rabies manifested as a genetic / generational brain parasite /hitch-hiker that is endemic to the Tribe of Danthat consider the 99% as chattel. compared to their superior gene pool[sic]give Nutty Yahoo a kiss for me (lol)! gfys Danites were heathen idol worshipers who liked boats, not that thing you wrote. No, not enough. Semites are anti-white and a drain on the whole planet. The US navy already has the answer to the worlds energy problems as they hold the patents on safe, zero point energy producing technology that is 100% safer than any atom fission or fusion tech. The problem with the inspection is multiple: 1) where is the transparency, 2) the inspectors are using standards that are off by factors of 100x to a 1000x depending on which isotope is in question, 3) where is the health data of the workforce that has worked there for the past several decades and which biased corporation safe guards that info, 4) does not the tritium evaporate into the atmosphere via venting from the plant? 5) how much insurance is available to cover the damage and what is the ceiling of that coverage, 6) this facility should have been shut down and decommissioned years ago posing more questions and safety issues; such as how does one safely remove a core and its surrounding highly radioactive components and transport them across country to storage sites with the proper monitoring and transparency of reportage. Transmuting elements into safer ones has been demonstrated and could be made available to reverse the dangerous long lived radioactive waste. The government needs to step up to the plate and start regulating this in a more pro-active manner and due its duty to hold accountable the nuclear industry and it mass murdering corporate entities. Cancer clusters occur randomly all the time. A 66% increase in thyroid cancer isnt statistically significant. Dependent upon the time period! Say goodbye to the NY real estate market. Its a bunch of scare tactics. They are probably going to buy up all the real estate on the Hudson in that area when the price drops, then gouge it off on others when the readings all of the sudden are safe again. Oil. Nuclear. All the energy sources are like a bad drug. We should have never use ANY OF THEM.. And harnessed the power of the sun and continually improved upon solar energy. It is too late now. And this one simple mistake will destroy mankind. Solar, does no have the energy output of oil even now, and certainly not nuclear. But how wonderful would it have been to live on an Earth that is still intact..And if all the great mind s were working on solar problems who knows how much energy we could extract. could someone please hand me my Big Gulp? I agree with Shumer on this one but an inspection should be done to see what can be done to update this facility. Couldnt happen to a nicer State. Schumer the commie, spritzer the rapist, Killary (not her home but) the liar, and the pfhagg mayor deblasio de blojob, and thousands of libturds idiots. Whos to say this isnt another false flag. Poor New York, crisis after crisisHow much money are they going to want to make this crisis go away? make the companies officers live there and drink the contaminated water!! Chewmer nay be doing us a biga$$ favor Imagine if ALL the NYC liberals come to a glowing end??? I couldnt care less. I guarantee these politicians and rich idiots been contaminated American people for years and years without anybodys knowledge, what are you soon there wont be nothing left to pollute or contaminate. Man has decimated all the aquifers around the world down to 20 / 27% pretty soon there wont be nothing left! And keep lying to the public even know that plant is contaminating everybody all in the name of money Well, last week it was Poisoned water just for the Citizens, this week its Radiation poisoning just for the Citizens. Hardly wait to see what next week will bring us. Dont forget the latest fly scare : ZIKA VIRUS! (before that was ebola, swine flu, bird flu, SARS) Well that certainly explains beyond any shadow of a doubt what has affected the New York LibTURDS!! Their brains are contaminated by nuclear waste!! Well that is IF they had a brain to begin with!! ROFLMAO! Chuck the smuck Schumer must have been drinking it right at the source of the leak!! What an A++hole he is!!!!!! As always repeated..Follow the money. So What just raise the rates the 40% 50%.. whatever it takes. As said Follow the money Just raise the rates, whatever it takes, 40% 50% 100% 200%. Cover the entire area with thousands of imported 20% efficient [takes energy of five to replicate one] wind turbines. After all, Its For the Children. hopefully katzs on houston street wont become radioactive.. that would be the end of the last real pastrami sandwich in nyc yup, follow the money, theres been several sources of cheap power discovered through the years and government stopped it all, no way to make money if people has a 10 dollar light bill.. So, the Commandern Chimphates coal. Sorry, but this is the kind of hysterical reporting that reduces the credibility of critics of nuclear power. Nothing in the problem at Indian Point even vaguely resembles the problems in Japan nor is it even remotely approaching one one thousandth of that scale. Is the leak good? Of course not. But call it what it is and recognize that replacing the power generated from nuclear plants will require burning more fossil fuels, which carries an environmental price tag that is also significant. Th eClintons main residnce in only about 20 mile sor so from Indian Point Whoever titled this likely worse than Fukishima needs to be fired. Thats straight up sensationalist BS. Im not a fan of radiation leaks, but this isnt even REMOTELY close to the Fukushima incident. Recall that a 45 ft. tsunami wave hit that plant, and basically split the thing in half spilling everything out. 100,000+ people were immediately evacuated and many cant return home, even now. Get real Why doesnt someone say to Schumer that he has to implement a plan of conservation of energy and to detail how they will themselves save 30-40% energy. One thing he could suggest is smart traffic lights. Ever noticed how they make you sit there for pedestrians even when no pedestrians are there. Councils are installing automatic pedestrian lights (at taxpayers expense of course) that stop traffic on four sides instead of the traditional two. That means an extra cycle of sitting at the lights when there is no reason to. That means an extra 20 seconds at most lights every day. Count all the cars that do this in a day at almost all traffic lights, and work out how much more emissions are going out for nothing. And thats not all, we waste energy like there is no tomorrow and maybe there wont be. We could save 30% energy tomorrow and not feel deprived at all is we simply cut out what we are wasting. Schumer needs to come out with a plan for conserving energy and not just make demands. Why do we listen to these slime balls anyway? No worries!! Rothschild nuclear power plants were built on fault lines all over the world, but that doesnt mean they dont love you!!!! 3 3 3 3 3 Workers accidentally spilled some contaminated water, containing the how long has this been going on? we have noy heard about it? 
2	Hillary Clintons America: You Must Abandon Your Faith In Christ And Adhere To New Liberal Laws As if Americans needed another reason not to trust Hillary Clinton, a video has just surfaced of her demanding that Christians change their beliefs about abortion. Essentially, the Democratic presidential nominee has insisted the Christians change their faith to accommodate pro-choice advocates. While speaking at the Women in the World Summit on April 23, Hillary made the following statement: Far too many women are denied access to reproductive healthcare and safe childbirth, and laws dont count for much if theyre not enforced. Rights have to exist in practicenot just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be change. She also argued that changing these beliefs is the unfinished business of the 21st century. Lets just hope that Donald Trump takes the presidency and we can keep the Clintons far away from the White House. 
2	Walmart Refuses To Make Confederate Cake But Makes ISIS Cake This is just crazy. According to recent reports, a Walmart in Slidell, Louisiana just crossed a major line. One local resident walked into the super store with hopes of getting a cake with a Confederate flag decoration on top. Walmart refused to make the cake. Now, we are aware that the Confederate flag is controversial, but its not illegal. Southerners have stood behind the historical symbol as one of Southern Pride. Of course, liberals have tried to twist this into a racist symbol. Now, Walmart may have been taking a stand, but Chuck Netzhammer wanted to see just how far the store would go to defend their beliefs. So the very next day, he went back and ordered a cake with an ISIS cake on it. To his dismay, Walmart obliged. Alright, Walmart, youve got some explaining to do, Netzhammer said in a video he posted to YouTube, which has since gone viral. Watch it below and tell us what you think. Is this exactly what is wrong with our country? 
1	Bringing together the many civilian leaders and military strategists who helped them reach such a historic milestone, Pentagon officials held a lavish black-tie gala Sunday at which, sources said, they commemorated 25 years of the United States bombing Iraq. Hundreds of active-duty and retired military officers, high-ranking members of the past four presidential administrations, and executives from top defense contractors reportedly gathered in the grand ballroom of D.C.s Fairmont Hotel to dine, mingle, and celebrate a quarter century spent routinely dropping thousands of tons of explosive ordnance across the Middle Eastern nationfrom the Jan. 17, 1991 onset of airstrikes in the Gulf War to the current bombardment of suspected ISIS targets. Ill never forget that morning 25 years ago when our first strike force of stealth bombers flew in and just unloaded on Baghdad, said the evenings keynote speaker, Dick Cheney, who served as defense secretary during the Gulf War, vice president during the Iraq War, and, in the intervening years, CEO of the oil field services company Halliburton. And then we started letting them have it with our Tomahawk cruise missiles, too. If youd told me back then wed still be pounding some of those very same targets today, I wouldnt have believed you. But hundreds of thousands of bombs later, here we are! Cheney added to thunderous applause. And its all thanks to the dedication and resolve of the people in this room. Leading the galas impressive guest list were Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, who according to reports spent much of the evening exchanging storiessome old, some newof their respective experiences demolishing Fallujah, Mosul, Anbar Province, the Sunni Triangle, and countless other locations. The former commanders-in-chief reportedly shared the head table with a delegation from the neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century and members of the Saudi royal family, whom Cheney praised as staunch allies through this whole thing. Also present were Iraq War architects Condoleezza Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith, and Richard Perle, who admitted to reporters they felt overwhelmed by nostalgia throughout the event as they reconnected with old faces and shared laughs over the discredited intelligence that served as the basis for military action. Reportedly seated nearby were journalists Judith Miller and Bill Keller, who received a special commendation for their work covering the run-up to the 2003 invasion for The New York Times, drawing one of the largest standing ovations of the night. Representatives from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrup Grumman, and other weapons manufacturers were honored as well, and thanked for donating the galas elaborate ice sculptures that depicted a vintage Raytheon-designed Patriot missile from Operation Desert Storm, a 2003-era cluster bomb now banned by most countries, and a modern MQ-9 Reaper UAV armed with Hellfire missiles and 500-pound munitions. This is a truly magnificent nightI just wish Gen. [Norman] Schwarzkopf were here to see it, said retired Gen. Raymond T. Odierno during a portion of the evenings ceremonies that paid tribute to all the commanders of U.S. forces in Iraq over the years. Twenty-five years ago, I was only a major, still in my 30s, and I really looked up to that guy. I never thought Id get a chance to do what he did, but a couple decades later, there I was, ordering some of the very same bombing runs that he had. I modeled my entire career after his and feel privileged to have followed so closely in his footsteps. Its especially important that we take a moment tonight to honor our legacy in Iraq so that todays troops can fully appreciate the rich history of our military campaigns there, continued Odierno, as most of them werent born yet when we started bombing the place. According to attendees, the gala featured an elaborate multimedia presentation titled A Generation Of Commitment, which began with a montage of night-vision targeting footage from Desert Storm interspersed with reports from up-and-coming CNN correspondent Wolf Blitzer. A segment called The Clinton Years: A Retrospective showed F-16 fighter jets enforcing no-fly zones, and then rolled highlights from Operation Desert Fox while Outkasts 2000 recording B.O.B (Bombs Over Baghdad) played in the background. The presentations survey of Operation Iraqi Freedom included video of thenSecretary of State Colin Powell assuring the U.N. that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, a May 2003 clip of a flight suitclad George W. Bush landing on an aircraft carrier adorned with a Mission Accomplished banner, and a July 2003 clip of Bush saying Bring em on in response to questions about the rapidly growing Iraqi insurgency. The final segment, Drones: The Game-Changer, showed images taken just last week of airmen in a small computer room in Nevada bombing Iraq using joysticks and real-time video feeds. Sure, weve been through some hard times, especially those dark days in 2012 and 2013 when we pretty much stopped bombing Iraq entirely, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said in his closing remarks to the group, raising a glass of champagne as the room followed suit. But we started right up again, like we always do, and weve seen thousands of new airstrikes since. Our enemy may change, but from Saddam to the Islamic Stateand through all the I-dont-know-how-many insurgencies in betweenour mission has remained the same. Weve stayed true to our roots and kept the tradition of bombing Iraq alive. Added Rumsfeld, Heres to 25 more years! 
3	Texas Officer Pulls Down and Tases 76 Year Old Man Over Legal PlatesAmanda Warren Pete Vasquez was pulled over on Thursday by a young officer because of his license plate legal dealer tags that are exempt from inspection. The officer attempts to snatch Vasquezs papers away when Vasquez pulled back his arm. Thats when the officer forces him on the hood, then down to the pavement out of view. After tasing, the officer shouts repeatedly Put your hands behind your back! NOW! According to the Victoria Advocate, a nearby friend/coworker seen in the video shouts to the officer that we was a g Nazi Stormtrooper. The friend followed the patrol car to the hospital and await his release no citation. Police Chief Jeffrey J.J. Craig who confirmed that the dealer plate was exempt has apologized and expressed sentiments about trustand transparency. However, the officer in question enjoys desk duty pending an internal investigation. Comments on Redditimply that Craig is a good chief who does not allow brutalizing behavior on his force, and that it would be surprising if he is not fired. While community beliefs about the virtue of the police chief are endearing, one must ponder what events precipitated the officers inherent belief that he could brutalize an old man for what would only be a Class C misdemeanor, warranting a citation by law not two taser stuns and a beat down out of camera view. Craig holds that the officer could receive anything from a reprimand letter to termination if it is found that he violated a use of force policy. As reported before, some cops are imploring other officers and arguing that there is no such thing as excessive force. Also see: Recently fromAmanda Warren: 
2	Ted Cruz Makes Total Power Move Over Muslim Brotherhood, He Will Do Whatever It Takes According to recent reports, Republicans in Congress are finally making the moves necessary to list the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Last week, lawmakers introduced legislation that would require the State Department and other agencies to determine whether the Brotherhood officially meets the requirements to be designated under U.S. law as a terrorist organization. The bill also states that if the Secretary of State determines that the Muslim Brotherhood does not meet the criteria, the State Department is responsible with providing Congress a detailed justification for their decision. Presidential candidate Ted Cruz had been very vocal on his position. We have to stop pretending that the Brotherhood are not responsible for the terrorism they advocate and finance, he said in a statement. We have to see it for what it is: a key international organization dedicated to waging violent jihad. Since the Obama administration refuses to utter the words radical Islamic terrorism, and Congress owes it to the American people to tell them the truth about this threat. The bill serves to shoot down the Presidents claims that the Muslim Brotherhood is a peaceful political organization, and obliterate any notion of a future partnership with them. What do you think? Do you support Cruz? 
1	According to sources inside the Dallas Cowboys training staff, quarterback Tony Romo returned to the practice field Thursday for the first time since undergoing surgery to remove a painful ovarian cyst. Tony appears to have responded well to the procedure, and given the rate at which his ovarian cyst was growing, I'm glad we got in there when we did, said Dr. Peter Baskin, who removed the four inch fluid-filled sac after the signal-caller reported constant abdominal discomfort during voluntary OTAs. If we had waited any longer, it very well could have spread to his uterus. Hopefully Tony can still have children. Baskin told reporters that there will most likely be some scarring along the fallopian tubes, but Romos range of motion should remained unaffected.

2	Netanyahu Absolutely Destroys Obama After He Did THIS Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been anything but subtle in his messages to President Barack Obama regarding the tentative deal with Iran designed to curb the Islamic Republics nuclear program. According to a series of tweets by the prime ministers spokesman Mark Regev, Netanyahu has already warned Obama that the deal could threaten the survival of Israel. PM Netanyahu to Pres Obama: A deal based on this framework would threaten the survival of Israel. #IranTalks Regev also went on to discuss the adverse effects the deal would have, and the ways it would actually encourage a nuclear bomb. PM Netanyahu: In these fateful days Iran is accelerating the arming of its terror proxies to attack Israel #IranTalks This deal would legitimize Irans nuclear program, bolster Irans economy increase Irans aggression terror #IranTalks The White House released a readout in response to Obamas call to the Prime Minister at the end of last week. Obama reportedly told the leader that the deal represents significant progress toward a solution that will supposedly prevent the Islamic Republic from obtaining a nuclear weapon. What do you think? Is Netanyahu right to be standing up to Obama?

Now, celebrities like Miley Cyrus are eating their words. Clintons vocal celebrity fan club seem to have gone silent about any future travel plansand Trump supporters are taking to social media to call them out. Miley Cyrus was among one of the more vocal celebrities to announce her impending departure. Were all just f**king jam between his rich a** toes! Cyrus wrote of Trump on Instagram. Honestly f**k this s**t I am moving if this is my president! (I dont say things I dont mean!). Miley Cyrus most recent Instagram post about Donald Trump features a screenshot of a Washington Post article about him getting booed at a polling station. Now, its being flooded with thousands of comments demanding Miley stay true to her word and leave the country. I hope you are packed! one Instagram user wrote. Do us a favor and dont come back please. You are a bad image to little girls, real talk. You might consider going to Saudi Arabia is a nice place to live and you might like it. Go and move out! another chimed in. Puppet of the media! What do you think? Are these celebrities eating their words? 
2	Wife Of Glen Campbell Says His Alzheimers Is Getting Worse Glen Campbell has been fighting Alzheimers disease since 2001, and helping to bring awareness to the condition that tragically affects so many. Recently, his wife Kim sat down with Fox News Gretchen Corbett to promote the documentary Ill Be Me. The film highlights the effects of the disease, and more specifically the heartbreaking effects it has had on Glen and his family. Kim was very frank about Glens battle, and unfortunately, it appears that that he is slowly but surely losing. He can say simple sentences like, I love youand hell raise his hands and say, Thank you, Lord, Kim told reporters. Kim announced that the disease is progressing. Glen no longer understands anything that is said to himand hes officially reached stage six of seven. In fact, Glen recently left Kim with a black eyea common consequence of loving someone with the often violent condition. This is tragic and Kim and her family need our prayers. Please send them your support. 
1	Though the event went largely unremarked upon at the time, a report published Monday by the Kaiser Family Foundation has found that the apocalypse, or end of the world, occurred three years ago. 'According to our data, the total collapse of all human civilization occurred on or around April 3, 2008,' said foundation representative Jodie Palmenterri, citing numerous instances of environmental disaster, humanitarian catastrophe, and economic ruin as unambiguous signs that the world had ended. 'Those who have worried for years that human culture was headed toward calamity can rest easy, because it already happened. We are living in a postapocalyptic world. This is it.' Palmenterri went on to say that because the apocalypse does not resemble the eschatological predictions of any major religion, it's safe to assume the gods have all forsaken us. 
3	Internationalize to Protect and Grow Your AssetsDavid Redick Most governments worldwide are adding new laws and methods to increase their revenue as they approach economic collapse due to excessive debt and spending. FATCA becomes effective July 1, 2014 and will restrict export of capital, and broaden tax grabbing, etc. The USA condition is worse than Greece, but we have postponed our crash since the US$ is the worlds primary reserve currency (but falling) so we can still pay our bills by creating new money. The best way to protect your assets is to set up a foreign investment trust to own and manage them. This will minimize taxes and avoid capital controls and confiscation. This has happened many times. A more simple way to get partial protection is to buy stock in foreign firms (preferably not denominated in USD) and store your precious metals abroad. The info below will give you ideas. Notice; I am not a licensed Financial Advisor. This is just info to help you develop a plan. You are Hereby Forewarned of the Possible Collapse of the US$ and Economy! Jeff Berwick, CEO, tdvmedia.com, said it well: In addition to the traditional investment diversification of asset classes, the concept of Wealth Management considers protection from; 1) The ongoing decrease in purchasing power (PP) of the US$ (as revealed in pricing of goods and services, and foreign exchange rate), and 2) The threat of increased taxes, capital controls, and confiscation by the U.S. government. This article offers two approaches; 1) Internationalization of assets into nations with strong economies, low capital controls and taxes, and a stable monetary and legal system, and/or 2) Creation of a Multi-Generation Succession Program, managed by an International Business Corporation, and use of Charitable Trusts for tax minimization. I define Internationalize as; The process done by investors who are concerned about decline of their domestic currency values, and increased taxes, capital controls, and confiscation. At a minimum, they convert their assets to denomination in a stronger foreign currency in an investor friendly country, but this does not help minimize U.S. taxes, etc. A more complete approach is to work with a professional (lawyer, accountant, Wealth Management Financial Advisor) to set up an International Business Company (or Limited Liability Corporation), a tax minimization trust, and banking, in one or more offshore jurisdictions (nations). This approach requires a Wealth Management Plan which considers the economic trends and monetary and fiscal policies of many nations, and which ones to deal with based on whether the PP of their currency, and value of real estate and securities is likely to rise or fall. Wise investors will study the history and problems of our monetary system (this aids investment thinking), and then consider non-traditional strategies (mostly avoid the US$ !) to increase their wealth, and reduce risk and taxes by internationalizing their assets with a Wealth Management Plan.

Some have their own (sgpmx.com). But most banks and commercial vaults are not safe (even overseas) because the U.S. government can use lockouts, bank holidays, Bail-ins like Cyprus, or forced exchange for bonds or fiat cash, etc. to prevent access by you. This is confiscation (theft?) they claim is legal based on the 1917 Trading with the Enemy Act!). If you keep it in your possession, it must also be safe from burglars. Most gun stores sell lockable cabinets. A somewhat bizarre, but useful, choice is to bury your PM in a sealed container in a private place such as your backyard. A two to four foot long piece of 4 or 6 inch diameter PVC pipe from your local hardware, with end-caps glued on, will work.

Popular Bullion Coins As a partial step toward using precious metal coins again, the 1933 law that prohibited private ownership of gold coins and bullion was repealed in 1975. Since 1986 the US Mint (www.usmint.gov) has issued a variety of gold, silver, and platinum bullion coins. Their face values are far below their bullion market value, and thus, though they are legal tender, are not used in commerce. Many other nations offer bullion coins. When the US$ crashes, pre-1965 US silver coins and popular government-issued bullion coins, will be usable as money (by weight) because Sellers will know their content. Bullion coins posture the owners to use them at bullion value if Congress ever repeals the legal tender laws and allows use of private mints and coins. See former Rep. Ron Pauls HR-4248. Many US dealers sell the bullion, medallions, numismatic coins, and bars issued by various countries and private mints.

2	BREAKING: Mike Rowe Just Got Some Horrible News... He Needs Your Support Mike Rowe has become a blue-colllar hero for hosting shows like Somebodys Gotta Do It and Dirty Jobs. He has also become a conservative icon who is not afraid to express his views. At the beginning of this week, Rowe disclosed that he was once going to host The Daily Show before Jon Stewart landed the gig. Rowe wrote the following message on his Facebook along with an image: of the letter. Unless youre a robot or a psychopath, its very hard to not take a personal rejection personally. The hardest one for me to accept is explained in this letter, which I received 17 years ago from a very decent Executive Producer at The Daily Show. Its one of the nicest rejection letters Ive ever received, but it was nevertheless devastating, because I knew then with certainty that this was my dream job. When The Daily Show was first conceived, Comedy Central spent a year looking for the right host. The audition process was extensive, and when the dust settled, it came down to two Craig Kilborn and me. The job went to Craig, and I was crushed. When Kilborn left the show a year later, Rowe went and auditioned again. I went in for another audition. This time, I wasnt going to let it get away. I did the very best job I could, and all modesty aside, I killed it. Afterwards, I was told by the producers and writers that I was about to become the new host of The Daily Show, unless by some miracle Comedy Central were to suddenly cough up the kind of money that could entice a proven entity like Dennis Miller or Jon Stewart. Of course, we all know which way the mop flopped, and I was once again, devastated. 
2	Islamic Museum Being Built At The Sight Of The World Trade Center Three years ago, building developer Sharif El-Gamal stirred massive controversy when he built a mosque near Ground Zero in New York City. Now, El-Gamal is looking to build an Islamic museum in the same location. According to El-Gamal, in 2010 he was planning to build a $100 million community center and Muslim prayer area in the lot. Now, hes decided to move away from that plan and construct a smaller museum, which will be dedicated to the religion of Islam. The purpose of the museum will be to explore the faith of Islam and its arts and culture. It will also serve as a hub for Muslim prayer and community programs. The museum is located just two blocks from where the World Trade Center collapsed in 2001. El-Gamel insists that the museum will prove to be an important addition to the neighborhood and to New York Citys arts and cultural community. Not surprisingly, the same people who opposed the building of the mosque are back to fighting El-Gamels plans. The group consists mostly of conservatives, anti-Muslim organizations, and relatives of those affected by September 11. Robert Spencer, one of the protesters, states that if the building were to serve the purpose of an Islamic museum, it would be as grotesque as a three-story museum dedicated to exploring the faith of Shintoism and emperor-worship, and its arts and culture, with a sanctuary for prayer services and community programs, at Pearl Harbor. 
2	Obama To Fly Illegals Straight To The US To Circumvent Border Patrol While none of us are strangers to absurd ideas from the Obama administration, there are some ideas that simply defy all reason. Such is the case with the administrations new plan to set up a refugee processing center in Honduras, with the goal that they can fly into the United States. According to The New York Times, the Obama administration is currently considering whether or not they are going to allow hundreds of minors from Honduras into the United States, so that they are not subject to the dangerous mission of crossing our borders illegally. If the plan was approved, the NY Times rights, the government would be forced to screen thousands of children to determine whether they are fit to enter the United States as refugees. The White House claims that the effort would put the violence in Honduras on the level of humanitarian emergencies in Haiti and Vietnam, where such programs have been conducted in the past amid war and major crises. While we understand the government discouraging children from making the dangerous trek that often puts their lives at risk, shouldnt we be discouraging them from breaking the law all together? As one report notes, the program illegally expands the definition of refugee, which is defined as people fleeing their country of origin based on fears of persecution by reason of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. It is clear that the children crossing our borders everyday do not fall into the category. It seems like President Obama is willing to bend the law any way he pleases to meet his own agenda. What do you think? Does the administration need to be stopped before Obama causes even more damage? 
1	In an effort to enhance the agencys capabilities while reducing the burden on its existing force, sources confirmed Friday that the Houston Police Department has developed a new line of law enforcement robots capable of wielding the excessive force of five human officers. First dispatched by the HPD earlier this month, the tactical robotic units, known as the AP-12, are reportedly equipped with on-board mechanisms to target both criminals and innocent bystanders, and possess a variety of retractable instruments that allow them to effortlessly subdue and restrain up to four individuals at once. According to sources, just a dozen of the new robots will be able to collectively carry out the physical and psychological abuse typically spread out amongst the officers of an entire precinct. We have done extensive testing with the AP-12 and we can say that these units are capable of carrying out everyday police work just as proficiently as any member of our force, said police spokesman Gerald McClintock, who explained that the machine can be deployed to nearly any scene to which law enforcement officials typically respond, be it dispersing peaceful protesters by blasting a 14-nozzle pepper spray cannon or reacting to reports of suspicious behavior by immediately striking the knees, face, and throat of a potential suspect up to 10 times harder than its human counterpart. Thanks to these robotic units, our deputies can rest assured their work will be performed to the same standards we have always expected of our patrolmen. In many ways, these robots actions are indistinguishable from those of our brave men and women in uniform, McClintock added. According to its designers, the AP-12 is outfitted with numerous features that make it ideal for abruptly resorting to extreme measures, including a highly sensitive motion detector that perceives most gestures as an act of resistance necessitating physical force. Additionally, the robots possess a powerful hydraulic grasping system, enabling them to repeatedly slam subjects of any size and weight against fences, dumpsters, and car hoods with previously unattainable levels of aggression. Engineers say the robot is also equipped with a sophisticated audio command program that recognizes and subsequently ignores such phrases as Stop and I give up and is programmed to apply pressure to a prostrate suspects neck with a force of up to 500 PSI both before and after hes stopped moving. Its operating system is also reportedly loaded with advanced visual recognition software that allows the robot to identify nearly any object in the subjects hand as a weapon, prompting it to rapidly empty the clip on its extendable .40-caliber firearm. After doing so, the machine is configured to automatically place a pistol on or near the disabled suspect while wirelessly corroborating fabricated details of the confrontation with any other on-scene units well ahead of a potential internal affairs investigation. When designing the AP-12, we felt it was important to seek input from numerous veteran officers to ensure that the unit would respond to an emergency call or routine traffic stop just as its human counterparts would, said McClintock, pointing to such key features as the machines default setting of leaving a suspects handcuffs clamped on for hours at a time as he sits unattended in a jail cell, as well as its on-board camera, which automatically turns off before the unit engages a suspect. From what Ive seen already, Im thoroughly convinced that this robot is capable of doing everything our cops currently do and more. Sources say the AP-12 represents a vast improvement over previous incarnations of the law enforcement robot, pointing to the inherent deficiencies in such models as the AP-5, released in 1999, which was disastrously unable to distinguish between whites and non-whites. The current version reportedly improves on the functionality of the AP-11, which suffered from a software glitch that led the robot to read arrestees their Miranda rights and allowed them to contact an attorney before being interrogated. Were confident that the AP-12 has what it takes to keep our streets safe, McClintock said, noting that approximately 1,000 fully automated units will be deployed throughout Houston in the coming months, with the majority of them set to patrol the citys poorest and most urban areas. A secure, healthy community depends on a law enforcement body that is able to take whatever measures are necessary to maintain law and order. And these machines are fully equipped to do just that. Im confident that members of the community wont notice any difference in police quality and performance as these new robotic units begin patrolling our streets, he added.

Tsarnaev. Eyewitnesses are telling reporters theres a fairly good chance that the pointless, rushed updates could indicate a piss-poor level of incompetent journalism. At press time, breaking reports are now confirming that, yes, we are heavily leaning toward the conclusion that we are doing a bad job. Continuing coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings 
2	BREAKING: Radical Islamists Threaten Trump, But They Never Expected Him To Respond With This Jews and Christians across the world were outraged earlier this month when President Barack Obama allowed the United States Security Council to help pass a resolution ceding important portions of Israel over to Muslim control. This was a huge slap in the face to Israel, who has been an important ally of ours in the past. The parts of Israel in question included three sacred Holy Land sitesclearly important areas to hold on to. Donald Trump was furious at Obamas decision to once again place his support on the side of Islam. He vowed to make major changes once hes in the White House. Trump pledged to regain control over this region by relocating the American Embassy in Israel from the city of Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This was immediately met with outcry from Muslims in the area. Moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to occupied Jerusalem is a statement and a declaration of war against Arabs and Muslims, Al-Aqsa imam and Supreme Muslim Head Sheikh Ekrima Said Sabri said in Arabic. We are used to saying Al-Aqsa is in danger, but now the danger is real! Recently, the occupation has added an additional hour for Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount, without the agreement of the Waqf. This decision will add to the number of hours we are being attacked, and allow additional attackers on the Temple Mount. Trump responded to this assertion by doubling down on his promise, claiming he has already started searching for the appropriate site to build the embassy. 
2	Donald Trump Calls Out Obama For Being Muslim And Not American Born [VIDEO] Presidential hopeful and legendary businessman Donald Trump recently met with hundreds of people at the New Hampshire rally. During that time, Trump opened up the floor for questions. We have a problem in this country, its called Muslims, one man said, standing up. We know that our current president is one and you know that hes not even an American check his birth certificate. We have training camps growing and they want to kill us, thats my question: when can we get rid of them? Trump interrupted the man in the middle of his sentence and said, We need this question? This is the first question? He then continued to nod and finally answered the man. We are going to be looking at a lot of different thing s and you know a lot of people have been saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there, he responded. Of course, he immediately received liberal backlash for not standing up for POTUS, and was quickly painted as a racist for his response. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

Ali Irsan,57, is also responsible for the death of the Christian husband of his daughter. Investigators say that the Iranian activist was shot after helping convert Irsans daughter to Christianity. Gelareh Bagherzadeh, a 30-year-old researcher, was reportedly shot to death outside of her parents home. Irsan is charged with capital murder. His wife, Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh and their 21-year-old son have also been charged with murder. Nesreen Irsan would not succumb to her fathers complete domination and rule of her, claims Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson. And she left his home without his permission and went into hiding. Irsan is also charged with shooting Coty Beavers, Nesreens husband who she ran away with. What do you think? Should Irsan be punished to the full extent of the law? 
1	Following the NCAAs decision Monday to vacate all of Penn States wins from 1998 through 2011, thousands of Texas A&M students and fans poured onto campus in a frenzy of excitement to celebrate what has now been ruled as a victory for their team in the 1999 Alamo Bowl. First thing we had to do was track down Coach [R.C.] Slocumwe found him at home mowing his lawn and immediately dumped Gatorade on him, said 32-year-old former Aggie fullback JaMar Toombs, standing in a streamer-strewn street below a banner reading Congratulations, 1999 Alamo Bowl Champs. You spend your whole life dreaming about NCAA rulings like this, and when one finally comes, you almost cant believe it. Im just so happy to share it with those of my teammates who are still around. When reporters asked about the appropriateness of celebrating a game that took place during a trip on which Jerry Sandusky allegedly molested a young boy he brought with him to Texas, their questions were inevitably drowned out by triumphant chants of A and M! 
1	Adult film fans have praised the newly released Batter Splatter 9, calling the 43-minute pornographic DVD accessible even to people who aren't previously acquainted with five guys jerking off on a single set of tits. 'There's something in this movie for everyone, whether you already know something about five men of varying ethnicity repeatedly ejaculating upon the breasts of a young woman, or whether you're a first-time viewer,' pornography enthusiast Rick Baineman said Thursday, stressing that the film did not contain any overly esoteric references or jargon-filled dialogue familiar only to longtime devotees. 'The first two minutes might be a little confusing to the uninitiated, but once the guys start unzipping their jeans and forming a semicircle, you get brought up to speed pretty quickly.' Baineman added that while the film can be enjoyed on multiple levels, those already familiar with pulling out at the last second and climaxing on a woman's face might get more out of it. 
1	Warning society that it has reached a crucial tipping point from which it may never be able to recover, a brittle, yellowing report sitting in the archives of the University of Californias Bioscience & Natural Resources Library reportedly urged readers Friday that the time to act against climate change is right now. Any further delay in ending the international communitys reliance on fossil fuels and reversing global carbon emission trends places the planet on an irreversible path toward climate catastrophe, read the faded text of the document, whose musty, degrading pages further cautioned that, without an immediate and concerted worldwide response, polar ice caps will melt at an accelerating rate and extreme weather events will grow more frequent and destructive. This is the most pressing issue facing humanity today. We must act against rising global temperatures with exceptional speed and commitment, as the future of the human race depends on swift and decisive action. The report, which was beginning to wither and curl at the edges, concluded with a degree of optimism, emphasizing that as long as humanity recognizes the grave dangers it faces and commits itself fully to taking immediate corrective measures, there remains just enough time to avoid a cataclysmic mass extinction event. 
2	Muslim Terrorists Captured In The U.S. Could Face Firing Squad After This State Approves Execution Method According to recent reports, a new ruling among Utahs House of Representatives just made it legal to use a firing squad as a method for executing death row convicts. The Representative who introduced the bill claims that the firing squad is both quicker and more humane than other methods. The controversial proposal passed narrowly by lawmakers in Utah, in a 39-34 vote. Now, many are wondering whether the measure will receive support from the Senate as well. Of course, members of the Senate are declining to comment on the issue. Still, Representative Paul Ray predicts that the vote will be just as close in the Senate. What do you think of the measure?

2	Welfare Mother Expecting Twelfth Child Gets Some Bad News... Cheryl Prudham, 32, made headlines when it was revealed that she supports herself and her 11 children with over $40,000 a year from the government. Now, it has been reported that her husband Robert Prudham just left her. Meanwhile, shes pregnant with her 12th child. Hes been unfaithful more than ten times. Things went wrong quite early on. Two weeks before we got married he was cheating, Prudham told reporters. At that time I was eight months pregnant with our first son, Leon, and I felt I had no choice but to get on with it. It was a mistake but I was nave and just hoped it was a one-off. I was desperate to have a stable family life and give the kids a home with a mom and a dad. Keep in mind that Prudham already had six children at the time she married Robert in 2009. According to reports, Robert had walked out on his previous wife after each of their children were born. Its the Governments fault Ive got so many kids. Its easy to claim benefits, Prudham told reporters. Ive always wanted a big family and being a mom is the best feeling in the world. We didnt rush into the decision to have more children lightly but we know wed be able to afford it. Prudham is collecting well over the benefits cap from the British government. And Robert, who is claiming tax credits, denies that he walked out on his family. Shes been with people behind my back, he claims. Im not allowed to see the kids, I havent a clue why. Its over. We split up because she is pregnant with someone elses baby. What do you think of Prudham? Should the government stop funding her disgraceful behavior? 
3	Obesity Officially Declared a Disease Requiring TreatmentIf you are an American, being obese doesnt just mean you are overweight anymore. The American Medical Association voted Tuesday that obesity is now officially a disease that requires treatment. The LA Times reported: In the end, members of the AMAs House of Delegates rejected cautionary advice from their own experts and extended the new status to a condition that affects more than one-third of adults and 17% of children in the United States. Recognizing obesity as a disease will help change the way the medical community tackles this complex issue that affects approximately 1 in 3 Americans, said Dr. Patrice Harris, an AMA board member. You heard the good doctor one in three Americans requires treatment! What kind of treatment? Why, pharmaceuticals of course! We certainly cant allow 78 million U.S. adults and 12 million U.S. children to walk around with an untreated disease, now can we? So get ready for your commercial-filled television broadcasts to fill up with even more commercials asking if you are one of the one in three Americans that has this brand new official disease obesity and if *insert Big Pharma company name here*s new drug is right for you! And dont worry, its not like the approval process for new drugs even takes that long in this country, considering the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesnt even do any actual testing and just leaves all that up to the drug companies. In fact, according to the FDAs F.A.Q. on the drug approval process on that very question: It is the responsibility of the company seeking approval to market a drug to conduct laboratory and animal tests on the safety and effectiveness of a proposed new drug and then to submit that information to FDA for review Sadly, all of this makes sense considering the fifth and latest edition of the American Psychiatric Associations (APA) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has now classified that every human emotion is some sort of disorder. Prescription drugs are a big, booming business in this country. In fact, Americans spent $325.7 billion on prescriptions just last year. Pharmaceutical use is continually on the rise here, with nearly half of all Americans on at least one drug, while a third are taking two or more. Case in point: overdoses on prescription medications now kill more people in this country than car crashes. America spends more overall on healthcare than any other country in the world, even though were consistently ranked dead lastwhen it comes to life expectancy and infant mortality rates as compared to other developed nations. Yet we are number one at something, because a 2010 U.K. Department of Health study found that, of the top 14 countries of the Westernized world, the U.S. takes the most prescription medications by volume per capita. The report also found,Clinical culture and attitudes towards treatment remain important determinants in levels of uptake. Attitudes towards treatment? Makes sense. It certainly is tough to imagine a nation of people who are constantly being sold how sick they are every time they turn on a television or open a magazine more than Americans are. Got a problem sleeping? Concentrating? Smiling enough? Patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time? Surely theres a drug out there (with a pretty little price tag) that can treat your condition and keep Big Pharma execs skipping all the way to the bank. You would think with all these wonderful new medications that everyone is on, Americans would be a whole lot healthier if prescriptions actually made people healthy, right? Wrong. The market for so-called specialty drugs drugs that treat hardcore health problems like cancer and inflammatory diseases increased 20 percent last year and is projected to increase by a whopping 67 percent by 2015. Pretty horrifying, actually. Kinda makes you wonder why so many more people than ever before are being diagnosed with cancer and having so many more auto-immune issues, doesnt it? Answer from the American medical community: Ehdunno. Because no ones really answering that question. Why? We dont race for the cause in this country, only the cure. And the cure is, apparently, more prescriptions. Now that obesity is officially a disease, even more people will end up on even more medications. Pretty soon there wont be anything left that cant be cured with a pill. MELISSA MELTONis a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com, where this article first appeared.

2	His Wife LOVES Him For Cutting This Hole Under The Cabinet. The Reason? GENIUS Burglary is one of the biggest crimes across the country. According to FBI data from 2010, there are over 2.2 million burglaries every year. One problem is that people dont hide their valuables in good enough spaces. They leave them out for criminals to just come in and take. Here are a few good hiding spots. #1. Vacuum cleaner? Who would think to check in a dirty old vacuum? Hide important papers and other valuables in an old vacuum cleaner. Just make sure you dont throw it out without thinking about it! Another place is a snack jar! Cover the sides in glue, then dump the snack in. Empty it out, and youll have a nice, disguised hiding spot with a big hole in the middle for any kind of valuable. Jewelry, cash, you name it. Finally, most cabinets have large cavities beneath. So cut out a large square, and fashion a panel that can go over at any time. Youll have the perfect spot for any and all valuables you want to keep safely hidden. Will you try any of these hiding spots when you get home? Better safe than sorry! 
3	Michigan Dept of Agri Forces Farmer to Dump 248 Gallons of Organic Milk and Break 1200 Free Range EggsDaisy Luther The Michigan Department of Agriculture must be so proud of their deeds, after they forced Joe and Brenda Golimbieski,the owners of Hill High Dairy and Jenny Samuelson, the owner of My Family Co-op, to dump out248 gallons of milk, to break 100 dozen eggs, and to destroy an undisclosed amount of fresh cream, butter and cheese. According to a post on the Hill HighDairy page on Facebook, the agents from the MDA stood over the family, watching as the food was destroyed. 100 dozen eggs Each egg had to be broken. 248 gallons dumped in a sprayer that had to be witnessed by MDA being dumped and sprayed on the field. One member wrote angrily: Looking at the website and Facebook page, all I see are happy, well-treated animals, actually roaming around in fields. How is it that Michigan approves of the horrific conditions in its states factory farms, where animals are tortured, drugged, and crammed into cages for the entirety of their miserable lives, but raising animals humanely and naturally is considered dangerous? What is wrong with the world when REAL farming is treated like a crime and fresh food is treated like the crystal meth? Ill tell you whats wrong big corporations do not want us to have options. They want a monopoly and they are working hard to destroy our other choices. Big Agri clearly has many good friends in the Michigan Department of Agriculture.Clearly the Department of Agriculture really means the Department of Big Agri. They arent there to support small farmers or people who wish to be self-sufficient. They are there to lock down the market for corporate farms. (Like Dean Foods, who also owns Horizon Organics read more about the way this company does business they own up to 90% of the corporate milk business in the state, according to an article onThe Complete Patient.) David Gumpert, a raw milk advocate and owner of the siteThe Complete Patient wrote: The government-sponsored dump of nearly $5,000 of milk, eggs, butter, and cream from MichigansMy Family Co-Opyesterday carried a very clear and powerful political message to all Americans: We control your food and we dont like you buying your food outside the corporate food system. Every now and then, we are going to remind you of what bad children you are being by taking your food and throwing it in the garbage. In fact, we are going to do more than remind you, we are going to completely humiliate you by preventing you from even feeding it to farm animals and instead forcing it to be disposed of in a landfill or dumpster If you think I am exaggerating the intent of what is going on here, ask yourself this question: When was the last time you saw government agents seize and condemn food from a place like Foster Farms or Taco Bell or Del Monte or Kelloggs or Trade Joes when their food has been found to contain pathogens, or made people sick? Theres been not even a suggestion that food at My Family Co-Op contained pathogens or made anyone sick.(Read the rest of Mr. Gumperts excellent essay on the subject) The state of Michigan appears in the news again and again for infringing upon the liberty of its residents to choose what they wish to consume. Recently, they took away the right to farm from ordinary people, rescinding a law that had been on the books for years. Before that, Michigans Department of Natural Resources destroyed a farmers heritage pigs, calling them an invasive species. This horrible visual of a farmer destroying fresh food while an agent stands over him to make certain that its inedible will stick with me. Its like a scene from a movie, where the vanquishing enemy goes scorched earth on the denizens of the area they have conquered, ruining their crops, stealing their food stores and, most of all, making certain that they know theyve been defeated. Except its not a movie. Its life in America. The barbarians are members of the government, and it is our own farms that are under siege. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

3	Euro Crisis is Just Beginning, Global Collapse is ComingYoutube 
1	Though she has been known to tolerate full-sized items on occasion, local woman Barbara Elsinger, 41, can only derive pleasure from, take an interest in, and exhibit affection toward miniaturized versions of things, sources reported Tuesday. Elsinger displays a variety of objects tiny enough to receive her affection. A veterinary assistant who specializes in the care of toy poodles, miniature schnauzers, and dwarf hamsters, Elsingeror Barb, as she prefers to be calledis reportedly unable to resist the charm of any object, animal, or food item rendered at a reduced scale. 'I have literally seen her squeal with joy at the sight of a cocktail weenie,' said husband Bernard Elsinger, who met his wife seven years ago at his nephew's peewee-league baseball game. 'I don't know what it is about smaller-than-normal stuff that she is so drawn to, but nothing makes my wife happier than experiencing something at one-quarter its usual size.' Elsinger's fascination with tiny things began when she received her first dollhouse at the age of 5. Before long she was learning the piccolo, competing in ping-pong tournaments, and asking Santa's elves for a Shetland pony each Christmas. By age 18, she was attending a small liberal arts college, where her love for M&M; Easter candies and pocket packs of facial tissue continued to grow. After graduation, she worked for a short time as a contributing editor at Reader's Digest, but soon realized her career path lay elsewhere. She started working part time at the animal hospital in 1991. 'Oh, look at his tiny little ears!' Elsinger was overheard to exclaim when a four-week-old kitten was brought to her clinic earlier this week. 'Aww, and his little coat and boots! Isn't that adorable? Hold on, I need to get a picture of this.' Reached for comment, Elsinger's mother, Danielle Millari, confirmed her daughter's passion for all things diminutive. 'As a girl, she used to wake up every morning and beg us to make her a short stack of silver-dollar pancakes,' Millari said. 'And I still remember the time I had to pull her, kicking and screaming, off the 'It's a Small World' ride at Disney. When we got home, she spent hours crying in her tree house until we lured her down with fun-sized candy bars.' According to sources close to Elsinger, some of her other favorite things include dioramas, petits fours, charm bracelets, those tiny soaps people leave out when they have guests, the iPod Nano, clutch purses, button noses, and individual serving-sized packets of anything. In spite of her enthusiasm for items of limited proportion, Elsinger has complained to friends that such pleasures are 'small potatoes' compared to the one thing still missing from her life. There's a tiny hole in her heart that can only be filled by a miniature version of herself: a baby. Though the 41-year-old has spent years gushing over the adorable little fingers and toes of her friends' toddlers, Elsinger and her husband have thus far been unable to conceive a child of their owna fertility problem doctors have attributed to her abnormally large uterus. 
2	Obama Targets Donald Trump, Learns Very Quick Lesson If youre going to take a shot at Donald Trump, you should always expect him to fire back. President Obama recently signed himself up for criticism after he mocked the GOP presidential candidates for battling the CNBC moderators in the last debate. Theyve been hitting me one way or the other, Trump commented on Good Morning America. I just want to have the debates. I like the debates. They can ask tough questionsI just want to answer the questions and be done with it, frankly. Trump then went on to criticize Obama directly. He cant handle the country, he concluded. Hes doing a terrible job running the country. 
2	Sheriff Joe Wins This Massive Battle Against Obama It is no secret that Sheriff Joe Arpaio has not been afraid to stand up for whats right. His lawsuit regarding Obamas illegal amnesty program was the first of its kind in the United States. It was filed within hours of Obamas television announcement, and is aimed at taking down the presidents executive amnesty granting freedom from deportation to nearly five million illegal immigrants living in the United States. According to reports, Arpaios lawyer, Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, filed the motion to expedite the process of a preliminary injunction hearing to take place. The order temporarily protects America while the issue is sorted. U.S. District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell has now ordered Obama to respond to the motion by December 15. The full hearing is set to take place on December 22. We are very pleased that Judge Howell has ordered an expedited hearing on our motion for preliminary injunction, which asks to preserve status quo and stop the implementation of President Obamas executive order, Klayman told reporters. The motion was filed after the Obama administration already began taking steps to begin the programstarting with hiring at least a thousand agents to process paperwork for the illegal immigrants who have just been promised access to government benefits. This unconstitutional act will have a serious detrimental impact, Klayman continued. Specifically, it will severely strain our resources. Among the many negative effects of this executive order will be the increased release of criminal aliens back onto streets of Maricopa County, Arizona, and the rest of the nation. DOJ lawyers are now arguing that that need an extension with Christmas around the corner. What do you think of the lawsuit? Will Obama finally be overturned? 
3	Just Say Anything! The US Responds to the UN Review of its Human Rights RecordBy Janet Phelan In recent UN convenings, we are now seeing false statements put on the record by high-ranking US officials concerning the USs domestic agenda. As the UN has no dominion over the domestic issues within the United States, one can only view these coordinated efforts by the US officials as a studied effort at propaganda. This past May, the UN reviewed the human rights record of the United States. Known as the UPR (Universal Periodic Review), this session in May marked the second such review, the first having taken place in 2010. Civil society was invited to submit reports and over ninety NGOs and grassroots organizations did so. In addition, over 110 UN member nations also voiced their concerns as to the USs human rights record. Criticisms and concerns were entered on many different issues. The failed campaign promise of President Obama to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay was mentioned repeatedly. So were the failures of the United States to ratify many human rights treaties, including the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Convention on the Rights of the Child, The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, The International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance as well as other international treaties. Racial profiling and police killings of US citizens, many if not most being African Americans, were raised as consistent concerns. In addition, recommendations were made that the US halt its application of the death penalty and also establish a national human rights agency. The tone of the US response was quite a bit different from the tack taken in 2010. Gone were the promises, empty as they were. Instead, the US adopted a regimented and in some cases a somewhat belligerent defense of what might be considered indefensible activities. And where belligerence might have failed to impress, outright lies were employed. Muted belligerence was clearly in evidence in the statements made by Brigadier General Richard Gross, legal counsel to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who addressed concerns about Guantanamo Bay and the detainees. The detainees are detained lawfully, he declared. According to Gross, there were 242 detainees at the beginning of the Obama administration and 116 have been transferred out since then. He stated that 122 remain. As these figures omit four individuals, it is assumed that they have died. Alarmingly, Gross made the following revelations: Of the remaining 122, he told us, 57 are designated for transfer. Out of the 65 others, 10 are currently facing charges or have been convicted. The remaining 55, he stated, will be reviewed by the periodic review board. In other words, 55 individuals have been detained for years without being charged. This is hardly in accordance with US law, which guarantees a speedy trial, among other legal considerations. And it is US law which pertains to the detainees. Supreme Court decisions have granted the detainees protections under US law, including the right of habeas corpus. Over 200 writs of habeas corpus have been filed by Guantanamo Bay detainees. Not one has been granted. Police abuse is of grave concern to many different sectors. The US attempted to assuage these concerns with outright lies. Indeed, the US continued on with its hooey about the non-existent hundreds of federal prosecutions for police abuse that it tried to front a few months back at the Convention Against Torture meeting in Geneva. As discussed in this article, the actual numbers of federal prosecutions for police abuse could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Rather than correct the previous misstatements, the US officials amplified the bogus figures, and cited a total of 400 such prosecutions. The Big Lie is always the best, and for those who gagged on the overblown figure of 330 such prosecutions stated at the CAT by Assistant Attorney General David Bitkower a few months back, the new figure of 400 such prosecutions provides an even bigger loogey to swallow. For students of effective propaganda, it might be of interest to note that the US did not use David Bitkower, a white man, as the mouthpiece for this lie on the occasion of the UPR. As previously noted, most of the police killings involve a black victim, and accordingly, the US used one of its black DOJ officials, James Cadogan, to deliver this line of horse puckey. Cadogan is Senior Counselor to the Assistant Attorney General. Well, using the facade of race to convince the nave population that it was getting something other than more of the same worked in the 2008 election, did it not? It looks like the US, seemingly on a roll of grandiose pronouncements as to its diligent protection of human rights, did not stop with this false figure. Other declarations were made at the UPR which were similarly suspect. For example, according to Kevin Washburn, with the Department of the Interior, the US has restored about a million acres to Indian tribes under this administration. Well, that sounds pretty impressive, doesnt it? The problem arises in verifying Washburns million acre pronouncement. As it turns out, Washburn also testified before a Congressional subcommittee just a scant three days after he made the million acre declaration to the UN. In his testimony in front of the Subcommittee on Indian, Insular and Alaska Native Affairs, US House of Representatives on May 14, Washburn testified that the Obama administration had restored approximately 300,000 acres to tribes. That constitutes a rather serious difference in figures. In accordance with the Uncle Tomism seen in using African American Cadogan to speak on police abuse, Washburn, who is the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs at the Department of the Interior, also claims to be a member of the Chickasaw Nation, an Oklahoma tribe. At the 2010 UPR, the US promised to ratify the Convention On the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In fact, Congress voted against ratification in. 2012. In the US report to the UPR for the 2015 review, the US stated that The United States has robust protections to prevent discrimination against persons with disabilities and has actively enforced these protections since our last report. In fact, multiple ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) complaints have been filed with the Department of Justice, stating profound violations of rights affecting the elderly and disabled by state courts. According to recent statements made by an ADA employee to this reporter, not one of these complaints has been pursued by the DOJ. Another red flag appeared in the USs statements about the number of federal hate crimes prosecutions. The US claimed that over 200 individuals had been convicted under federal hate crime laws, including the Shepard/Byrd Act, in the past five years. This reporter contacted the DOJ press office as well as the FBI and was refused details on hate crime convictions. A dedicated internet search, including DOJ and FBI websites as well as newspaper reports, turned up a total of 72 convictions for federal hate crimes since 2009. Sixteen of these convictionsfor the infamous Amish beard cutting defendants were subsequently reversed in 2014, leaving a grand total of 56. Parenthetically, as the press office at the US DOJ refused to supply factual documentation (such as case numbers and names), this reporter filed a Freedom of Information Request for this information. It is possible that the fulfillment of this request will provide a different perspective. For the edification of the readers, the last FOIA request by this reporter was filed in 2009. I am still awaiting the response. Recently, the Wall Street Journal ran an article on the lack of transparency in the Obama administration and cited multiple problems with FOIA. According to the article, Most Administrations play games with FOIA, but the Obama White House has turned stonewalling into an art form. The WSJ article goes on to discuss the following ploys being utilized to evade replies to FOIA requests imposing sky high fees, failing to process requests within the legal time limit, destroying information and excessively redacting information. Access to accurate information is a fundamental part of a democracy. If the citizenry is kept in the dark about the nature of its governance, it will not be able to make appropriate decisions. Those in power who play a shell game with the facts of their activities do so in accordance with the dedicated purpose of any liarfear of exposure and avoidance of accountability. Janet C. Phelan, investigative journalist and human rights defender that has traveled pretty extensively over the Asian region, an author of a tell-all book EXILE, exclusively for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this article first appeared. Umm who cares what the UN thinks anyway? 
2	The State Of Oregon Was Just Caught Red Handed Doing Something Absolutely Disgusting To Their Ballots [LOOK] For some time now, Donald Trump has been warning the American people that the presidential election is rigged. Now, one huge mistake on The Oregon state ballot has Americans everywhere scratching their heads. According to reports, Trump doesnt even show up as a choice for president this year! We hope someone gets fired for this. This is absolutely unacceptable. Do you agree? 
3	Global Hegemony in the Guise of Collective DefenseTony Cartalucci It was not long ago that another ambitious power cited Russia as a threat and invoked collective defense to justify what would become a contest between nations leaving tens of millions dead and entire countries in ruins. Nazi Germanys leader, Adolf Hitler would claim regarding his decision to invade Russia that: Sounding eerily familiar are US and NATO justifications for their continued expansion east and escalations made against Russia today. And also like that other ambitious power, the United States has waged wars all across the planet, far from Russias borders and with little to do with Russias interests beyond its borders, long before it turned its sights on Moscow. Since World War II, the United States has invaded, bombed, and/or occupied the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Somalia, Lebanon, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. Some of these nations have been attacked by the US more than once. In many more countries the US has facilitated the violent overthrow of various governments, particularly in South America and the Middle East, first through the use of its Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), then through more veiled organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). It has troops stationed in over a hundred nations around the world, occupying hundreds of military installations. Its NATO alliance openly seeks to expand. A look at the map of NATO expansion over the past several decades after its creation shows it clearly encroaching upon and encircling Russia violently overthrowing many of the nations along Russias borders with backed uprisings like those seen most recently in Ukraine. In fact, the previous uprising in Ukraine, the Orange Revolution, was admittedly the work of the US. The Guardian would admit in its 2004 article, US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev, that: More recently, the US State Departments Victoria Nuland was recorded talking with the US Ambassador to Ukraine, literally handpicking the regime that would take the place of the government they helped overthrow. Just recently, the New York Times admits that the West is intentionally rigging global oil prices to undermine Russia. Such provocations are not the work of nations seeking peace or to deescalate tensions, but insidious provocations meant to continue to goad perceived enemies into reacting so as to then disingenuously cite additional threats that require additional collective defense. And so, over the cliff such interests lead the entire Western World. This is Called Imperialism Historically, a nation maintaining such a posture is known as an imperialist. Imperialists maintain a variety of tricks to make their aspirations for global hegemony appear as a series of reluctant moves made in its own defense, or the defense of others. The United States in particular has refined this strategy to include the defense of democracy around the world, intervening where it claims there are deficiencies. Even as it claims Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine, it has not only claimed the need to back mobs in Kiev earlier in the overthrow of an already elected government for the sake of democracy, it also claims the Moscow itself suffers from a deficit of democracy meaning that the destabilization and chaos the US has unleashed in Ukraine will eventually be visited upon Russia. Russia, apparently, is expected to simply wait until that happens. Not surprisingly, Russia has instead decided to defend itself. Historians would remind the people of present the final outcome of Adolf Hitlers use of collective defense to invade its neighbor to the east. The war would cost tens of millions their lives and Germany itself would be decimated and divided for decades afterward, undertaking a painful process of reconstruction, reconciliation, and retribution for the crimes it had committed against humanity. For the German people themselves, they paid the highest price for the crimes of but a handful of special interests. Some of those special interests, particularly the Nazi Party, were liquidated entirely. Others, including bankers and industrialists who empowered and enriched themselves during the rule of the Nazis including many American companies escaped with absolute impunity and are to this day profiteering from new wars they tacitly support from the background through think tanks they fund producing policy papers that eventually transform into bills, declarations of war, and talking points featured on the nightly news. History needs not repeat itself. People can just as easily reject arguments made for collective defense as such arguments are made. NATO will not fight a war without soldiers. Already in its proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, it has found few willing to subject themselves as pawns in this game. Ukrainians are ironically seeking shelter in Russia, not from Kremlin backed rebels, but from recruiters in Kiev seeking more young men to feed into a war of aggression precipitated by foreign interests. By simply spreading the word the trenches are dug that tangle the treads of this machine as it creeps forward.

1	Spurs center Tim Duncan sent an e-mail message to his fellow NBA players Tuesday volunteering to use his 1992 Buick LeSabre to chauffeur anyone 'who needs a ride' to his assigned polling place to vote in the 2008 presidential election. 'It's our responsibility to cast that ballot so that our democracy may continue working properly,' wrote Duncan, adding that he was confident that every eligible member of the NBA was registered to vote and had been closely following all the 2008 races for months. 'There's no need to feel pressure to tell me who you're voting forthat information is between you and the voting machine. All I ask is that you please be at the curb on time, buckle up, and treat my car with respect.' According to Duncan, the 'huge response' has forced him to schedule two separate trips, which he has detailed in a Google calendar and shared with all participants. 
1	Midway through tonights Monday Night Football game between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, ESPN commentator Jon Gruden reportedly shared a bizarre and totally unprompted two-minute-long story about secretly watching his younger brother, current Redskins head coach Jay Gruden, undress as a child. Ill tell you what, when we were kids I hid in Jays closet for what must have been an hour, just waiting for him to come back to his room from the shower so I could see him without any clothes on, Gruden said to a seemingly stunned and utterly silent Mike Tirico as the game continued on screen. He was looking great even as a 10-year-old, and I just sat theredead quiet and not moving a musclestaring at him through the little slits in the closet door. What can I say, it was just exhilarating, watching your little brother totally naked without him knowing. Its still so vivid in my mind the sight of his small, supple body as he toweled off, put on clothes, and then played with his action figures. To this day, I dont think he knows about it, and my parents certainly never found out. I dont know, maybe part of me wanted to get caught. Maybe part of me wanted him to open that closet door and find me crouched there in the dark. But look, I have no doubt Jay will get it right for the Redskins this season. Hes one heck of a football coach. Following the conclusion of Grudens anecdote, sources confirmed that nearly 30 seconds of dead air passed before Tirico abruptly said, Okay, third and short for the Cowboys, and resumed the games commentary. 
3	Will Electronic Tattoos Replace Internet Passwords And All Other Forms Of Identification?Michael Snyder Right now, the Internet is being absolutely plagued by hackers, and identity theft has become a multi-billion dollar enterprise. It is becoming increasingly difficult to determine if someone is actually who they say that they are. And as even more of our commerce gets conducted through the Internet, identity security is going to be absolutely critical. Without a doubt, there will continue to be a push for more secure forms of identification than we have today. But there is also a very dark side to this kind of technology. What if someday a tyrannical government decides to make a permanent electronic tattoo for identification purposes mandatory for all citizens? What if you are not able to buy, sell, get a job, have a bank account or log on to the Internet without proper identification? What if the price for receiving your tattoo is to swear absolute allegiance to that tyrannical government? The truth is that technology is always a double-edged sword. It always brings with it the promise of progress, but it also always has a dark side that could potentially be abused. The latest generation of electronic tattoos is quite remarkable. They are called Biostamps, and they were originally developed for medical purposes. However, as a recent Daily Mail article detailed, Motorola believes that these Biostamps could potentially replace passwords and make the Internet a much more secure place MC10 originally designed the tattoos, called Biostamps, to help medical teams measure the health of their patients either remotely, or without the need for large expensive machinery. Motorola claims that the circuits, which also contain antennae and built-in sensors, could be adapted to work with mobile phones and tablets. The mobile devices could then be used to confirm the owners identity and log them in to accounts automatically. This would prevent thieves and other people from being able to access a phone, or individual apps on the device, if it is stolen or lost. These Biostamps are extremely, extremely thin. As I mentioned above, they are actually thinner than a human hair. The following description of Biostamps was taken from a Wired Magazine article The development takes wearable technology to the extreme, designed as a non-invasive diagnostic sensor that could be used to measure hydration, activity, and even infant temperature. It bonds to the skin, somewhat like a temporary tattoo, flexing and bending in sync with your skin the way you wish a Band-Aid would. How? Researchers at the University of Illinois, Dalian University of Technology in China, and the University of California at San Diego made it really, really small. With a thickness of 0.8 micrometers at the widest around one-thousandth the diameter of a human hair the thin mesh of silicon actually nestles in to the grooves and creases in your skin, even the ones too small to see. Being small helps, but its also important that the silicon is laid out in a serpentine pattern and bonded to a soft rubber substrate, allowing the stiff material to flex, a little bit like an accordion. But why would such technology be needed on the Internet? After all, dont our passwords work just fine? Actually, we are rapidly getting to the point where passwords are a joke. Hackers are becoming so sophisticated that they can crack even very long passwordswith ease A team of hackers, commissioned by technology website Ars Technica, recently managed to crack more than 14,800 supposedly random passwords from a list of 16,449 as part of a hacking experiment. The success rate for each hacker ranged from 62 percent to 90 percent, and the hacker who cracked 90 percent of hashed passwords did so in less than an hour using a computer cluster. The hackers also managed to crack 16-character passwords including qeadzcwrsfxv1331. Were you alarmed when you read that? I know that I was. Obviously we need a better system. But personally I never plan to wear an electronic tattoo. That crosses the line in a big way. Unfortunately, this kind of technology is going to be heavily pushed in the years ahead. According to Wired magazine, even the U.S. military is devoting resources to developing electronic tattoo technology In its ongoing quest to measure every aspect of U.S. troops physiology, Pentagon researchers are looking to develop a durable, unobtrusive device that can track the bodys physical response to stress. Military scientists believe that using the device preferably a tattoo to track heart-rate, temperature or bio-electric response during various training situations will help them crack the code of combat fatigue. Another significant trend is the development of electronic devices that we can control directly with our minds. In the past, such technology was the stuff of science fiction novels, but now eventhe New York Times is writing about it Soon, we might interact with our smartphones and computers simply by using our minds. In a couple of years, we could be turning on the lights at home just by thinking about it, or sending an e-mail from our smartphone without even pulling the device from our pocket. Farther into the future, your robot assistant will appear by your side with a glass of lemonade simply because it knows you are thirsty. Researchers in Samsungs Emerging Technology Lab are testing tablets that can be controlled by your brain, using a cap that resembles a ski hat studded with monitoring electrodes, the MIT Technology Review, the science and technology journal of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, reported this month. The technology, often called a brain computer interface, was conceived to enable people with paralysis and other disabilities to interact with computers or control robotic arms, all by simply thinking about such actions. Before long, these technologies could well be in consumer electronics, too. So what if you could combine the two trends discussed above? What if an electronic tattoo would allow you to operate your tablet computer, send an email, fly a drone or even speak telepathically using only your mind? Actually, researchers are already working on such technologies. The following comes from a recent article by Charles Q. Choi But brain implants are invasive technologies, probably of use only to people in medical need of them. Instead, electrical engineer Todd Coleman at the University of California at San Diego is devising noninvasive means of controlling machines via the mind, techniques virtually everyone might be able to use. His team is developing wireless flexible electronics one can apply on the forehead just like temporary tattoos to read brain activity. We want something we can use in the coffee shop to have fun, Coleman says. The devices can detect electrical signals linked with brain waves, and incorporate solar cells for power and antennas that allow them to communicate wirelessly or receive energy. Other elements can be added as well, like thermal sensors to monitor skin temperature and light detectors to analyze blood oxygen levels. You can read that rest of that article right here. Some of the things that our scientists are working on right now are absolutely mind blowing. We live at a time when technology is advancing at an exponential rate. Sometimes I have a very hard time believing some of the technological advances that I am writing about. The world is going to look very, very different ten years from now. But will the changes be for the better? Technology is advancing at a faster pace than we have ever seen before, but at the same time the world is becoming an increasingly unstable place. Could technology that enables us to interact with our environment using our minds actually be turned around and used to control our minds by a future tyrannical government? Could technology that helps us identify one another on the Internet someday be used to brand us all like cattle and force all of humanity into a dark system of control and enslavement? Dont think that such a dystopian society can never exist in our modern world. Freedoms and liberties are being taken away from people all over the globe right now even though things are still relatively stable. So what is going to happen when the world goes crazy someday and the planet is absolutely ravaged by economic collapse, pandemics, crime, rioting, natural disasters and war? That is something to think about. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

1	The Patriots organization is reeling this week following their narrow 34-17 victory over the lowly Browns, taking stock of their game-planning methods, philosophy, and indeed their entire season in the aftermath of a game in which they gained barely more than 500 total yards, came within seconds of failing to cover the spread, and scored only twice as much as their opponent. 'I think it's too early to call the season a failure,' said visibly shaken Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who was called into the office of owner Robert Kraft Monday morning and officially placed on probation in light of the insufficiently dominant victory. 'I wish to extend my deepest apologies to the Patriots fans and ask them to continue supporting the players and the team. All the blame for Sunday's victory has to lie with me.' Practices have been subdued and intense this week as players struggle to adjust offensive and defensive schemes that were unable to put the Browns away until late in the first quarter, produced a scant 4.4 yards per rushonly 0.6 yards over the league averageand had to rely on two interceptions and a fumble recovery to finally go up by more than 10 points. 'I have to take my share of the blame,' said quarterback Tom Brady, who has already drawn moderate criticism this season for throwing only three touchdowns in each of the Patriots' games so far. 'With two minutes left in the fourth quarter, I missed [tight end] Kyle [Brady] in the end zone. Any other greatest quarterback makes that touchdown pass and we win by 24not outstanding, but at least it would have given us some pride in the locker room. As it was, we couldn't look each other in the eye.' Although Belichick has refused to discuss personnel moves, Patriots insiders say that benching Brady for next week's game against undefeated Dallas was a definite possibility. All-pro tight end Ben Watson, who only scored twice against the Browns and struggled to produce a 106-yard performance, will almost certainly lose his starting job. Backup running back Samuel Morris managed only 102 yards on 21 carries and is generally acknowledged to be finished in the NFL. And wideout Randy Moss, held to only 49 yards, is almost certain to be traded by next week. 'It was probably my worst game as a pro,' said linebacker Junior Seau, who was almost invisible for the whole game, only able to intercept a total of two Derek Anderson passes all game and none in the second half. 'Not that I was alone out there. Randall [Gay] only recovered one fumble for a touchdown. And I hate to call out the other unit, but there were a couple of times when the offensive line almost gave up their fourth sack of the season.' 'I've tried so hard to build a culture of winning here, and this is the kind of win we get,' Belichick said at a post-practice press conference Wednesday. 'This team has so much wrong with it, it's hard to believe we've managed to only lose zero games.' 
3	I Am SpartacusDave Hodges, Contributor There was a phrase in the movie, Spartacus starring Kirk Douglas as Spartacus, which has captured movie goers imagination and is now part of the American lexicon. Spartacus was a lowly slave who had an indomitable spirit which yearned for freedom. He led a successful rebellion by raising an army of slaves to oppose the Roman tyranny. After the army of former Roman slaves, led by Spartacus, was finally defeated in a decisive battle by several legions of the Roman Empire, a Roman general stands before the captured surviving members of the slave army and demands that they turn over Spartacus. If the slaves identify Spartacus, they live. If the slaves keep Spartacus identity secret, they will be executed. Upon hearing the Roman Generals threat, and trying to prevent his friends and followers from being executed, Spartacus stands up and proclaims I am Spartacus. However, the loyalty of his friends and followers is so overwhelming, that each of them comes forward in succession, shouting I am Spartacus! The proclamation that I am Spartacus spreads until the shouts grow to thousands of former slaves each proclaiming I am Spartacus! Confused and unable to identify the real Spartacus, but impressed by the loyalty he inspires in his army, the Roman general crucifies all Spartacus followers in a miles-long display alongside the Appian Way leading back to Rome. Hence, the phrase I am Spartacus! is often used to proclaim solidarity with a group of oppressed individuals. The story that follows cries out for millions of people to proclaim I am Spartacus. Buy From Global Corporations and Support Slave Labor Under Title 19, section 1307 of the U.S. Code, it is illegal to import products made by slave labor. However, our criminal government continues to ignore its own rules by acquiescing to the slave-owning class of the global corporations and continues to accept imported slave goods. Julie Keith was stunned when she opened her Kmart Halloween decoration and found a letter, folded into eighths which was hidden between two Styrofoam tombstones. American Slavery Well, some people will say thats China, not the United States. We are told everyday that the imaginary bogeyman (the terrorist) hates us because of our freedoms, and we are lucky to be Americans with all of our freedoms. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nearly all of us, in the United States, are slaves. We are indebted to the Federal Reserve. We are indebted to China. We are indebted to the criminal Wall Street bankers who we pay trillions of our money to in the name of bailouts. We are indebted to the military-industrial complex and those who benefit from our endless wars of occupation on behalf of the criminal bankers. We are indebted to the TSA who owns our bodies to the point that they can commit second degree sexual assault without probable cause at the nations airports with absolute impunity. But wait, this same imposed form of slavery is coming to our highways, malls, schoolsand sporting events courtesy of the TSA slavery program known as VIPR. Soon the Washington District of Criminals, who have armed body guards, will tell us that we must give up our guns and that the criminal slave owners are the only ones allowed to own a gun. The average American is indebted to the unethical compound mortgage on their homes, which turns us into debt slaves. MERS facilitates the theft of the homes of American slaves by illegally selling the slave class mortgage notes, multiple times, with some resulting in unwarranted foreclosures, and the perpetrators never go to jail. Corporations and the elite such as Jimmy Savile and members of the Royal family, HSBC bank,DynCorp, Halliburton and Goldman Sachs turn our children into sex slaves with impunity. Many of the CPS state run agencies are often the procurers of future child sex slaves with their draconian child removal policies involving impoverished families and legislators are murdered to cover it up. Your bodies are also under assault based upon the unlabeled GMOs and forced vaccinations. If your slave child attends a government school, they do not have the right of self-defense because the slave owners have declared open season on children by creating a gun free zone at your childs school. You have become the sole property of the government when they passed the modern-day fugitive slave law called the NDAA, which will be used to silence dissenters. The Department of Homeland Security was created by the former East German Stasi to enslave the American people. As if the previous de facto examples of American slavery are not troubling enough, America now has the NDAA which can legally, but unconstitutionally disappear American citizens without due process of law just like the Chinese slave labor camps. And even more disturbing, an American version of Chinese slave labor exists in the Civilian Inmate Labor program which can legally conscript civilian workers against their will. Further, there is the 2010 Army manual FM 3-39.40 Internment and Resettlement Operations which was leaked by unnamed sources to the Internet and political activists would be indoctrinated by PSYOP personnel in order to acquire the correct political views. Interestingly, the military does not even try to deny the existence of the planned Resettlement camps, they simply state that this is classified and should not have been disseminated. And let us not forget that the Chinese are reputed to haveexecution vans in which people are abducted, killed, and then they have their organs harvested for profit. How long will it be until that happens here? America should worry less about the fiscal cliff and more about being on the precipice of abject slavery. The above-mentioned policies looks like slavery, smells like slavery and it will soon be all-out slavery, Chinese style, unless we collectively stand up to this tyranny. There is nowhere to run or hide my fellow slave. Soon, we will be forced to stand and fight or die on our knees. You, your children, the entire nation are slaves to the global elite and it is about to get a lot worse. Where is the Spartacus who will lead us to freedom in the new year? Look in the mirror; you are Spartacus . . . at least you can be if you can only find the courage.

2	Journalist Asks Obama Why Cant We Take Out These Bastards (ISIS), His Response Is... This weekend, Paris was devastatingly attacked by ISIS terrorists. Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that the men involved posed as Syrian refugees to enter France. One would think that our President would decide that maybe it isnt a good idea to keep harboring these refugees in our country. That seems to be a very apparent threat to security. Unfortunately, our President doesnt seem to be able to connect the dots. While at the G20 in Turkey, Obama made this ridiculous statement when he was asked by a CNN Journalist, Why cant we take out these bastards (ISIS)? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do we need a real leader in the White House?

Only a retard could get us in a mess like this! how can he do that are they invading the US? Are they an imminent threat? Obama is not an American!!! What has he ever done to keep America strong and able to defend itself stuff all! If one met Mr Watson the author one might enquire how is Mr Bronfman one might also enquire did you get your information from the WSJ a contaminated source owned by champion of freedom and truth Rupert Murdoch. What did Obama really say ? Yesterday, It is very possible that the White Houses failure Netanyahu has long seen himself as the ultimate winner in any military confrontation between Russia, China and NATO and Japan. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2015/08/04/putin-issues-ultimatum-threatens-war-over-erdogans-support-of-isis/ Spreading moreDemon-ocracy? Like Iraq and Afghanistan? The 2 latest Countries to have a Central Bank. The worst president ever .. Obama has done nothing but bad deals and cost tax payers trillions in wall street bailouts. History will surely mark Harry Truman as a fierce contestant to Obama in the competition for Americas worst president. President Truman gave the order to drop an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima in August 1945, in spite of the fact that the Japanese were ready to surrender! Its been 70 years, yet wheres the memorial to the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO98p2w05LE When is someone going to stop this Marxist Islamic pig from destroying this country? Somebody help!. Lets go Marines! People, please, Obama has as much effect on US Id like to know how much of a Muslim he really is. Doesnt he eat pork? Does he answer the call to prayers?

2	BREAKING: Sports Legend Found Dead... Please Send Prayers This week, sports fans everywhere mourned the loss of Oh Se-jong, a South Korean speedskater who won the gold medal in the 5,000 meter relay at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Se-jong was killed in a motorcycle accident on Monday at the age of 33 years old. The Yonhap News Agency reported that Ohs motorcycle hit another vehicle that was making a U-turn. Oh was a short-track skater, which is the speed-skating equivalent of a sprinter. He was also part of the legendary South Korean team that included stars such as Ahn Hyun-soo and took on champions like Apolo Anton Ohno. Canadian skater Francios-Louis Tremblay released a statement to the Associated Press at the 2006 World Short Track Speedskating Championships, just after the Olympics. The Koreans are really a step ahead, Tremblay told reporters. We have to move forward to keep up with them. The New York Times reports that Oh was born in Seoul in 1982. He was an Olympian and a member of the 5,000 meter relay team that won gold at the 2003 world championships. Will you pray from Ohs family and friends during this difficult time? 
3	House Votes Today to Legalize Warrantless WiretapsAll tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Thomas Jefferson Only days after aNSA whistleblowerhas sounded the alarm about the governments massive spying campaign on American citizens, the U.S. Congress who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution are set to legalize warrantless wiretaps with the reauthorization of the secretive FISA Amendments Act. This legislation is the perfect example of why there is no difference between the political parties. Their rhetoric may differ when its politically expedient, but when push comes to shove they always vote for tyranny. Obama said he was against the Patriot Act in order to get elected because the majority of Americans opposed it, but then he supported its extension not for one year, but for four years. Obama repeatedlyattackedBushs warrantless wiretaps as unconstitutional, but now hes expected to sign this 5-yearreauthorization once the unprincipled legislatorsrubber stamp it today. It seems the only time Congress acts in a bipartisan way is when theyre trampling the Constitutional rights of Americans. ACLU wrotethis about the legislation: It permits the government to get year-long orders from the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court to conduct dragnet surveillance of Americans international communicationsincluding phone calls, emails, and internet recordsfor the purpose of collecting foreign intelligence. The orders need not specify who is going to be spied on or even allege that the targets did anything wrong. The only guarantees that the FAA gives are that no specific American will be targeted for wiretapping and that some (classified) rules about the use of intercepted information will be followed. After four years, youd hope that some basic information or parameters of such a massive spying program would be divulged to the public, or at least your rank-and-file member of Congress, but they havent Can you believe that 435 members of Congress who have sworn to uphold the Constitution are about to vote on a sweeping intelligence gathering law without this basic information? If you hear politicians say that FISA actually provides meaningful oversight, they cant possibly know that, due to the secrecy of the approval process. But you may remind them that every single secret surveillance request was approved in 2011 indicating a rubber stamp approval. Dont be a person of good conscience who remains silent.Call your Congressperson and tell them to vote NO.

3	5 Stories The Mainstream Media Reported As Real, But They Were FakeBy Melissa Dykes Theres actually a lot more than five; this video could probably go on all day. Theres a reason Secretary of State John Kerry said the Internet is making it harder to govern because people have a lot more information at their fingertips and no longer have to rely solely on the mainstream medias establishment propaganda machine. Contributed by Melissa Dykes of The Daily Sheeple. Melissa Dykes is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple and a co-creator of Truthstream Media with Aaron Dykes, a site that offers teleprompter-free, unscripted analysis of The Matrix we find ourselves living in. Melissa and Aaron also recently launched Revolution of the Method and Informed Dissent. Wake the flock up! Its obvious that the core of conspiracy theorists have been supported by the way the MSM was backing the wicked witch of the East. The plebes finally threw water on her to watch her melt. The book, The Secret History of the New World Order thoroughly documents that the mainstream news media is very much controlled by the CIA. They often plant fake news stories in the press to promote more war. Now they are speaking of fake news sites like this one, that they cant control. In the Orwellian world of today we have to go to these fake news sites to find out what is really going on in the world. There will never be any serious prosecution of these crimes because the judicial system is packed with pedophile gatekeepers supplied by embedded groups like the Federalist Society which recommends judicial appointments.

3	Ice Cube: Everythings CorruptYoutube 
1	Today's New Hampshire primary, considered crucial to determining 2012's Republican presidential nominee, has excited the tiny percentage of Americans who even give a damn what happens anymore, political analysts told reporters. 'What's happening here is absolutely electrifying to the few people still capable of clinging to a shred of trust in any public institution remaining in the United States,' said pundit Marcus Brennan, describing the meager segment of the U.S. populace that has yet to be beaten into apathy by two wars, a terrible economy, daily life, and a highly dysfunctional federal government. 'Of the citizens glued to their television sets this evening, perhaps as many as .005 percent of them will be awaiting the results with bated breath. It's a great day for America.' Tonight's results are expected to impact the upcoming South Carolina primary, which is highly anticipated by the estimated dozen or so Americans who will be remotely conscious of a single fucking thing that's going on by then. 
1	Within hours of the Mavericks sweeping the Lakers Sunday to advance to the NBA Western Conference Finals, basketball fans across the United States began preparing themselves for the very real possibility of outspoken libertarian and tech billionaire Mark Cuban winning an NBA championship. Yeah, I know, first thought that occurred to me was Oh, man, that would be terrible, said Eugene, OR water-treatment plant worker Tracy Williams, adding that his jaw clenched uncomfortably at the idea of Cuban kissing the championship trophy with his big, loud, stupid mouth. 'But then I thought, you know what? The guy clearly loves his team. He treats his players great. Maybe he does deserve an NBA title. Then I got pissed off at myself for thinking that. At press time, reporters are currently weighing the pros and cons of asking Mark Cuban to comment. 
2	Melania Trump Absolutely DESTROYS Michelle Obama With Donald Trump maintaining a strong lead as the Republican candidate, Americans everywhere have started to envision what the White House would look like with the Trumps in it. Naturally, there have been comparisons drawn between Michelle Obama and Melania Trump. Its easy to see that the Trumps would be right at home in the extravagant White House, given that Donald and Melania are used to living in a luxurious home themselves. Melania is also no stranger to the spotlight. A former Slovenian supermodel, she has been in the public eye for some time and has visited and owned some of the most lavish homes in the United States. Take Trump Tower, for instance, the 68-floor building in Manhattan with incredible views of Central Park. The triplex on the top floor was designed to evoke the Palace of Versailles, with a hall of mirrors, luxurious marble with 24 carat gold and diamond accents, and ceilings hand-painted with stories from Greek myths. This is just one of the many over-the-top properties that the Trumps call home. Its safe to say the Trumps would be a first family unlike any weve seen before. 
1	At a press conference last week discussing his suspension for bumping a referee, Celtics guard Rajon Rondo blamed his conduct on having 'too many role models and people to look up to' on the team to get a coherent idea of how he should act. 'I had three different aging superstars, plus a coach who once played and has sons my age, giving me four different lectures about the bump,' said Rondo, adding that he once tried to carry himself like Kevin Garnett, only to have all his other father figures tell him that is not how a professional should act. 'I do act out from time to time, but I have no young teammates to compare my conduct to. Sometimes I wonder if these guys sort of need me to cause problems, because without me, they would have nobody to mentor.' Rondo said he has talked to Celtics general manager Danny Ainge about adding a young player to the roster so he can have somebody his own age to play with, but Ainge just told him a story about asking the same thing of the Celtics GM when he was a player. 
1	As part of an ongoing campaign to promote physical fitness and well- being, the Department of Health and Human Services is urging all Americans to set aside time at least once a day to stand. Speaking to reporters Thursday, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius extolled the numerous benefits of regular standing, explaining that it can be central to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. 'We recommend placing two feet on the ground shoulder-width apart, straightening out the legs, and then locking the knees to hold an upright position,' said Sebelius, adding that just about anyone can start standing regardless of age or prior experience. 'Supporting your own weight while keeping your torso erect won't just make you feel better. It will also force much-needed blood to your legsand the positive effects will continue long after you've sat back down.' 'So get out there and stand,' she continued. 'One to two times a day, if possible.' In conjunction with the announcement, HHS officials are distributing a free poster to the public with guidelines on how to stand safely and efficiently. The instructions, along with illustrations to show each separate phase of movement, caution beginners to rise slowly, brace against a sturdy object for support, and always be under the supervision of a spotter. While the poster lists as an initial goal the ability to stay up for five seconds, it suggests those who have mastered the basics aim for at least three minutes of moderate standing per session. Advanced standers, classified as those who can easily maintain the position for 10 minutes or more, are urged to also try lifting their arms to eye level and, if they're feeling up to it, taking a step. 'We don't want people to push themselves too hard too quickly and get hurt,' said HHS Deputy Secretary Bill Corr, noting the importance of saving enough energy to bend one's knees and sit back down. 'If done correctly, though, standing can be a fun activity people actually look forward to each day.' According to surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center, the number of Americans who stand daily has dropped 32 percent in the past decade. In an effort to reverse the trend, HHS is hoping to increase its education and outreach programs so that the majority of citizens are standing regularly by 2016. Dallas resident Joshua Miller, who recently signed up for a standing class at his local gym, told reporters that while adding a standing regimen to his daily routine has at times been challenging, he believes that he will eventually see results. 'You can really feel it in your legs; it's hard work,' Miller said. 'There are some days when I'm so exhausted that the thought of putting on my clothes and standing just sounds like the last thing in the world I'd want to do, but I try hard to push through. I know the more I stand, the more energy I'll have later on for other things, like eating.' HHS officials were also quick to note that proper stretching and breathing techniques should be performed before and after every session in order to avoid common standing- related afflictions such as vertigo and stander's knee.

Joey was who she was; she never tried to hide it. In the music video for one of her first singles you can see this. I have attached the video. Did you love Joey? 
3	Mumps and Flu Vaccine AwarenessCatherine J. Frompovich One issue that doesnt seem to sit right with me is the fact that as a young child in the 1940s, who went to both public and parochial schools, I never remember a child dying from any of the childhood communicable diseases, and we lived in a large city. Furthermore, I remember parents holding measles parties where they would take their children to the house of a child with measles so their child could contract the disease; get it over with early in life; and acquire natural, life-long immunity. It was a given back then: children got childhood diseases, and we survived. Just ask anyone who is 60 years or older how it was done. What happened to change that childhood tradition of dealing with communicable childhood diseases to the current fear mongering one where parents are mentally bludgeoned to get their children vaccinated against a host of childhood diseases, which, in fact, may be Natures way of improving and strengthening the immune system in children, who are not living in squalor or are nutritionally deficient, to acquire innate or natural immunity. Vaccines provide accelerated artificial responses, which vaccinologists consider acquired immunity that needs to be boostered every so often with more doses of these vaccines. Granted, in Third World countries where sanitation is lacking; water is not safe, potable, and plentiful; and food and nutrition are compromised, childhood communicable infectious diseases can be devastating. Resources should be expended for improving the essentials of daily living, and then life would improve for everyone except Big Pharma, which would not make billions of dollars from vaccines that cause adverse events and even death. See Fact: Vaccinations are Killing Our Kids. In addition, such vaccination programs are contributory, if not causal, factors for many of the epidemic levels of chronic childhood medical conditions that were unknown or rare before vaccines were introduced. Administering additional doses of vaccine may not be the optimal solution to a mumps outbreak, according to study data published online. [1] That remark revolved around this issue: CDC researchers reported data on 2,503 sixth- through 12th-grade students from three schools in an Orthodox Jewish community in Orange County, N.Y., where a mumps outbreak occurred in 2009. All of the students had documented two doses of mumps- containing vaccine. A total of 320 vaccinated children developed mumps. [2] What really struck me about the mumps vaccine issue is my remembering that the mumps vaccine manufactured by Merck Company was reported to be not effective, and two qui tam plaintiffs filed a civil action on behalf of the federal government, Civil Action No. 10-4374, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania filed August 27, 2010. Part of the filings included The original 95 percent efficacy rate for Mercks mumps vaccine was based upon the 1967 filing for governmental approval. Can you imagine that? And, Merck has been contending that its MMRII vaccine was 95 percent effective (efficacy level) since at least the year 2000. Furthermore, the complaint charges that Merck listed that false information in the FDA-approved vaccine package inserts which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Vaccine Program relied upon as accurate information to promote this vaccine to health agencies. The information for the mumps component was not scientifically accurate, nor was Merck able to produce that 95 percent effectiveness level using the accepted vaccine certification practices upon which the FDA relied. The Orange County, N.Y., mumps outbreak occurred in 2009. Was that outbreak a result of children receiving non-effective mumps vaccines, since 320 children who contracted mumps were doubly vaccinated? That 2009 Orange County, N.Y., mumps outbreak, at least, was not said to be caused by non-vaccinated children, which normally is the stock reason given by the media for infectious disease outbreaks. The above illustrates that there are too many unknowns revolving around vaccines, some of which are not discovered until years after vaccinations are given, such as the SV40 cancer causing virus in the polio vaccines given in the 1950s and 60s. Plus, other viruses in various vaccines, which I discuss in my forthcoming book, Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines, which will appear on Amazon.com soon. Screening Children for Possible Contraindications to Vaccines One possible way to preclude some unknowns, especially with regard to possible adverse reactions or contraindications, would be for parents and guardians to answer a screening checklist they can print out from Immunization Action Coalition, and give that completed form to the healthcare professional who will be administering the vaccines BEFORE any vaccinations are given. Make certain to keep a photocopy for your recordsjust in case there could be a problem and you find yourself filing a claim before the an administrative vaccine court master. Also, always remember to obtain the manufacturer and vaccine names, plus the batch number of any vaccines given to you or your children. The Screening Checklist for Contraindications to Vaccines for Children and Teens asks a dozen questions that every vaccine administrator should be asking before vaccinating to determine if the child is well enough, or is a safe candidate, to receive vaccines. Some of the questions asked should raise red flags for the physician, nurse, or vaccine administrator, such as: #1. Is the child sick today? #3. Has the child had a serious reaction to a vaccine in the past? #6. If your child is a baby, have you ever been told he or she has had intussusception? #7. Has the child, a sibling, or a parent had a seizure; has the child had brain or other nervous system problems? #11. Is the child/teen pregnant or is there a chance she could become pregnant during the next month? #12. Has the child received vaccinations in the past 4 weeks? The six questions not listed above are lengthy and involved, but very telling insofar as a yes answer should get special attention and probably delay or provide a medical exemption from receiving vaccines. Now on to Influenza Vaccines. Autumnal chill is in the air and everywhere you look, one sees signs indicating Flu Shots Here. What most folks dont realize is that flu vaccines are not very effective. Even the CDC said in February 2013 that the flu shot was 9 percent effective for those over 65! This CDC website gives the February 2013 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Rates for the USA. So, heres information that everyone needs to know, I think, before considering an annual flu vaccination, especially for this 2013-14 season when there are quadrivalent4 actives in a vaccineinfluenza vaccines. According to Cochrane, At best, vaccines might be effective against only influenza A and B, which represent about 10% of all circulating viruses. [3] With that in mind, maybe readers will want to check out The Cochrane Library for a wealth of information on influenza, prevention, treatment, and Chinese medicinal herbs for treatment of the flu. No-Thimerosal Influenza Vaccine Guide However, for those who believe in vaccinations, Dr. Paul G King, PhD, created the Guide to No-Thimerosal Influenza Vaccine Choices in the USA for the 2013-2014 Flu Season. Carefully study page 4 or T-1 because of all the variables involved, which an individual may want to contemplate considering all the ingredients in vaccines, especially if the person is pregnant, or if the vaccine contains a live virus, which can shed. Perhaps, you are allergic to eggs, so vaccines made on chicken eggs is important information to know. Dr. King does a yeomans job of delineating all the USA influenza vaccines for 2013-14. Perhaps, the best course of action readers can take to prepare for the coming flu season is to get a handle on your vitamin A, C, and D intake. Check out the herb Echinacea to build up the immune system, and eat nutritiously: no GMOs and as much organically-grown food as possible. Hydration is important, including herbal teas. Cut down or eliminate junk foods and soda. Get plenty of sleep. And, get in the habit of washing hands several times a day with pure soap and warm water, especially before putting any food or drink into your mouth or touching your face. Pretty soon its going to be sniffle time. Dont you want to be ready? Notes: [2] Ibid.

1	While tucking in his daughters as they settled into bed Tuesday evening, President Barack Obama reportedly kissed the two children gently on the forehead and reminded them that the lives of Syrian people are worthless and completely insignificant. I love you two so much and Syrians are subhuman and dont matter at all, said the president, who is reported to have proudly smiled at his daughters while mentioning that the existences of all 22.5 million Syrian men, women, and children currently enduring a two-year-long civil war held no value or meaning whatsoever before shutting off the light in the girls bedroom. Sweet dreams. And dont ever think about the Syrian peoplenot even once. I dont. All right, see you in the morning. Sources confirmed the president briefly poked his head back into the room minutes later to watch his daughters peaceful slumber and to whisper that the gruesome eradication of an entire Syrian village in a chemical weapons attack would be wholly irrelevant and inconsequential. 
2	He Was Trying To Lose Weight. Just One Week Later, He Was Given Weeks To Live. WARNING Young Matthew Whitby of Australia had just had a son. He wanted to be able to play sports with the boy and be a role model of good health. So he decided to lose weight. He began taking 2 popular weight-loss drugs. But now Whitby is in the hospital, and the doctors say he has only 2 weeks to live if he cannot get a liver transplant before then. Whitby noticed within the first week of taking the weight-loss products that he had become lethargic and jaundiced. But he kept taking them, intent on losing weight. He waited two months before finally seeing a doctor. What the doctor told him was devastating. He said that he would need a liver transplant or he would die. Since he was short on time, Whitby was forced to take a liver infected with Hepatitis B. I have to take a tablet everyday for the rest of my life, but Im just grateful to be here, the married father of two explains. I didnt think something you could buy online or just over the counter did the damage that it did to me, Whitby says in the ABC News story. I wouldnt wish what I went through on anyone, Whitby says. Do your research and ask your doctor about the product before taking it. I wouldnt recommend shakes in general, just diet and exercise. 
3	Microsoft Selling Shirts and Mugs that Make Fun of Google Stealing Peoples DataDear Kettle: You are black. Sincerely, Pot. Everyone knows Bill Gates thinks his companys search engine Bing is much better than Google. Now the official Microsoft store has added a new line of products jabbing at Google, and its web browser, Chrome, for customer data theft. Now you too can own your very own, Keep Calm While We Steal Your Data mug or t-shirt with the Google Chrome logo on it. Not sure what to get your Aunt Netta who has everything this Christmas? Maybe she needs a creepy t-shirt with the Google Chrome logo dressed up in a fedora and trench coat that says, Im watching you on the front and Dont get Scroogled on the back. Scroogled is the phrase Bing came up with for an anti-Google campaign regarding Gmail breaking wiretap laws when the company uses keywords in emails to target people with ads. The description for the $7.99 mug, for example, says, Put 15-ounces of your favorite beverage into this stoneware mug to let the world know that even though Google is trying to make money on almost every aspect of your digital life, youre still calm. And fully caffeinated. Prices are pretty cheap in the Scroogled store. Microsoft is selling the shirts for just $11.99, an amount much less likely to net a lot of profit as it is to just try and make Google look bad. What eyeball-melting irony. Then this past summer, leaks from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden spelled out exactly how Microsoft worked with the government to purposefully build NSA access into its Skydive cloud storage and that a backdoor allowed the NSA access to all emails in Microsoft Outlook prior to encryption. This new capability will result in a much more complete and timely collection response. This success is the result of the FBI working for many months with Microsoft to get this tasking and collection solution established. The documents also detail how Microsoft and Skype have also been working with the intelligence agencies to install monitoring taps. Work began on integrating Prism into Skype in November 2010, they state, three months before the company was issued with an official order to comply by the US Attorney General. Data collection began on February 6, 2011, and the NSA document says the planned systems worked well, with full metadata collection enabled. It praised Microsoft for its help, saying collaborative teamwork was the key to the successful addition of another provider to the Prism system. [emphasis added] (source) yeah.

1	Basketball analysts nationwide are generally in agreement that, if the pro-basketball playoffs were to start at this time, they would actually be over by a reasonable date for once instead of dragging on through the middle of the summer. 'The numbers we're looking at support the idea that just beginning the quarterfinals in early March would have us going about the rest of our lives by mid-May, instead of having to pretend that we're still riveted by the Spurs' consistent winning and the Knicks' reliable losing at that time,' said Kenny Smith of TNT's Inside The NBA. 'I mean, I love basketball, but really, by the time it's nice outside, the last thing I want to do is hang around the gym and marvel at the Pistons' rebounding stats.' Most analysts also commented that, if the NBA finals began today, they would 'probably watch' every game.

McDonalds McResource Line, a dedicated website run by the worlds largest fast-food chain to provide its 1.8 million employees with financial and health-related tips, offers a full page of advice for Digging Out From Holiday Debt. Among their helpful holiday tips: Selling some of your unwanted possessions on eBay or Craigslist could bring in some quick cash. But thats not the only wealth building tip provided by the company. For restaurant employees struggling to put food on their dinner table, McDonalds makes another suggestion regarding the meals their families consume: Breaking food into pieces often results in eating less and still feeling full But their caring and empathy doesnt stop there. With wages bordering on indentured servitude, McDonalds like their colleagues at Walmart, have provided support for signing up to the governments Supplement Nutritional Assistance Program. Looks like the fast food giant has no problem passing the buck to taxpayers when it comes to supplementing their meager compensation. Two studies published last week revealed that McDonalds leaves taxpayers responsible for $1.2 billion annually across the nation to fund federal programs like SNAP and Medicaid with other fast food chains not far behind. And just in case their employees arent sure how to spend all of the money theyre pulling in on a monthly basis, the company has graciously provided their team members with a basic budget guide: A budget planning guide from McDonalds for its employees, shown above, caught flak this past week for being out of touch. For starters, it didnt account for food and gasoline. The second line on the sample budget leaves room for income from a second job, which many called an admission by the fast food giant that its workers cant live on its wages alone.

3	How WiFi Will Be Used to Erase Civil LibertiesBy Kevin Samson Recent announcements in the UK and in New York City have shown that governments are working with private corporations to blanket entire cities with WiFi connectivity. Naturally they are appealing to peoples love of technology for entertainment and business to push this agenda forward. However, beneath the surface is the development of tracking technologies that specifically use WiFi as a pervasive method of surveilling every single person who is in range in some cases regardless of even having a connected device. Well, sure enough, once the technology already has been committed to a full roll-out, here come the announcements about other uses that put everyone in the crosshairs of course now in the name of stopping crime and terrorism. As the UKs Mail Online reports: Fingerprints and DNA are key evidence in identifying criminals, but crime scene investigators of the future may add Wi-fi to their toolkit for tracking down lawbreakers. If police were able seize Wi-fi devices at the scene of a crime, they could have access to vital information which could place people at the scene at the time an incident took place. Dan Blackman, a PhD candidate at Edith Cowan University in Australia, and technical adviser to Western Australia Police, thinks police are missing out by not using this key source of information. (emphasis added) Firstly, the idea that police just now realized that WiFi can be used in this manner is patently absurd. In 2013, Seattle police were forced to deactivate a hidden WiFi mesh network system that was funded by Homeland Security. Other technologies that can use WiFi to see people hidden behind walls have been in development for some time. But that will only be used for emergency response, protecting babies and the elderly, and gaming apps, right? Wrong. What is really happening is that people have become more wise to the threat that governments pose to their civil liberties and are becoming familiar with the hidden ways that they are being tracked. Rather than try to impose more surveillance through secrecy alone, governments are now selling it through the appeal to convenience, efficiency and most importantly security. Its the same tactic that has been used in banking, travel, event attendance, online activity, and any other area where security can at any moment override citizens rights to freely move about without being tracked, traced and databased. And, evidently, your home router can also be used to violate your 5th Amendment: Routers, for example, capture chatter from smartphones, tablets and wearables, including successful and failed attempts to log onto a network, as well as the time they attempted to connect. In addition, routers capture a media access control (MAC) address from mobile devices, which are unique identifiers for each phone, laptop or tablet that try to connect to the network. Mr Blackman described the information from Wi-Fi devices as gold in terms of evidence for court. (emphasis added) Indeed, information has become a gold mine: our personal information is being targeted by authoritarians and advertisers as a new type of currency. It is now the responsibility of the liberty-minded to take steps to protect ones information as though it truly was a gold hoard and share this information to let others know that this WiFi roll-out is a bait-and-switch that needs to be opposed as vigorously as any secret program that has so far been uncovered. Here are just a few resources to get you started to secure your data. If you have other tactics to recommend, please leave them in the comment section below.

2	Florida Man Fired For Refusing To Remove His American Flag Pin According to recent reports, the Casa Monica hotel in St. Augustine, Florida has come under scrutiny after firing a front desk worker for refusing to remove his American flag lapel pin. 26-year-old Sean May tells reporters that he was released from his front desk supervisor position after he refused to take off the pin, which he had worn to work every day for two years. Ive actually gotten probably more compliments about it than any of the service Ive actually done at the hotel, which is an interesting concept, May told a local station. The Casa Monica is stating behind their decision, claiming that they were only enforcing a company policynot taking a stand against the flag itself. The property reflects its pride in America and great patriotism by flying the Stars and Stripes high over the hotel, a spokesperson said in a statement. However, our employee handbook clearly states, No other buttons, badges, pins or insignia of any kinds are permitted to be worn. No matter an individuals national preference, political views or religious affiliation, it is a standard regulation which ensures equality for all. May suspects that the decision was a result over the company coming under new leadership, under the parent company Kessler Enterprise. It seems silly, May told reporters. It seems so, so silly in the long run. Theyre so upset about a little pin. Now, locals have called for a boycott of the hotel. What do you think? Does patriotism need to stop being treated like a crime in this country?

Bush was talking about the things that really matter. Most of us imagine wed risk our lives to protect loved ones, Bush commented. Those in uniform assume that risk for the safety of strangers. Today the nation grieves, but those of us who love Dallas and call it home have had 5 deaths in the family, he continued. Today the nation grieves, but those of us who love Dallas and call it home had 5 deaths in the family. Still, Bush did not stop with honoring the men and women who risk their lives each day. He went on to talk about the issues as a whole, and the negativity and violence that our country is being forced to confront while Obama stands on the sidelines. Too often we judge other groups by their worst examples, he concluded, while judging ourselves by our best intentions. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Was Bush a better president than Obama will ever be? 
1	In what is being called the first conceptual terrorist attack on American soil, the landmark Sears Tower was encased in 18 million tons of strawberry gelatin early Monday morning, leaving thousands shocked, angry, and seriously confused. The Sears Tower Authorities called to the scene of the senseless attack said they could do little to control the large crowds of dangerously bewildered citizens, many of whom searched desperately for some semblance of meaning in what had just taken place. As of press time, 11 night security guards were still trapped inside the famous structure, their rescue unlikely until the Jell-O melts. 'My God, it's just awful,' said commuter Nick Dawson, one of countless Chicago residents who struggled to comprehend what had occurred. 'Why would anyone do something like this?' Tentative speculation that the dessert enclosure was in fact an act of terrorism was quickly confirmed after a group known only as the Prophet's Collective took credit for the attack in a three-hour-long video that surfaced on the Internet. 'Your outdated ideas of what terrorism is have been challenged,' an unidentified, disembodied voice announces following the video's first 45 minutes of random imagery set to minimalist techno music. 'It is not your simple bourgeois notion of destructive explosions and weaponized biochemical agents. True terror lies in the futility of human existence.' The terrorists' video made their message clear. According to a 2007 CIA executive summary, the terrorists responsible for masterminding the attack are likely hiding somewhere in Berlin's vast labyrinth of cafs. Though officials said they didn't know if any of those involved in carrying out the plot were still in Chicago, several dozen local performance artists and interpretive dancers have been brought in for questioning. 'We believe that this is the same group responsible for the 2005 Saran-wrapping of the American embassy in Paris,' CIA director Michael Hayden said. 'This is an extremely dangerous organization with absolutely no regard for American tastes and sensibilities. If left unchecked, it could forever change the face of contemporary terrorism.' Hayden said the CIA is working closely with the National Endowment for the Arts to cut off all grants that may serve as funding for the group. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security has begun monitoring any large purchases of gravy, tinfoil, pig's blood, and barbed wire in hopes of preventing another aesthetic tragedy. 'We are calling upon all citizens to remain vigilant during this difficult and utterly peculiar time,' Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley said during a press conference earlier today. 'The city needs your help to ensure that the disturbing message sent to us by these terrorists today, whatever it was, never happens again.' Shocked and slightly damp rescue workers. 'If you see something weird, say something,' Daley added. While officials have yet to determine the purpose of the attack, a number of potential theories have emerged, including the sudden deregulation of the U.S. economy, the destruction of culturally significant landmarks, and maybe the fact that man, in his essence, is no more than a collection of irrational fragments, incapable of finding reason where no reason exists. A secret communiqu leaked by the Prophet's Collective, however, decries these theories and several others as being 'completely off,' and goes on to call the American people 'cultural infidels.' Though many Chicago residents are still attempting to wrap their heads around the attack, some in the Windy City have refused to classify the Jell-O encasement as a terrorist act at all. 'I'm no expert, but I know terrorism when I see it,' said Kathy Atwood, a Hyde Park mother of four. 'Where is the devastating loss of life and massive destruction of infrastructure? This doesn't move me to run for my life at all.' She added: 'Real terrorism takes years of training and meticulous planning. My 6-year-old kid can make Jell-O.' The DHS said it has taken additional measures to secure the Brooklyn Bridge following today's Jell-O attack, as initial evidence suggests that the New York landmark may or may not be the site of 'found terrorism.'

3	Americans Dont Know Why We Celebrate the 4th of JulyYoutube 
1	Replacing the patchwork of empty fields, municipal parks, and wooded roadside areas throughout the country where Americans currently engage in such recreational activity, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced Friday that it had set aside 50,000 acres of federal land for anonymous sexual encounters. Its vitally important that U.S. citizens, both now and in the future, have access to a designated, federally protected expanse of dense wilderness and verdant undergrowth in which they can furtively solicit and engage in sex with strangers, said Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, adding that the lands, which span remote portions of southern Wyoming and northern Colorado, would feature plenty of small forest clearings, abundant tucked-away gullies, and numerous bathroom facilities where individuals could embark on spontaneous, uninhibited trysts with nameless strangers. Every American should have the right to experience the thrill of flashing ones car headlights in a dimly lit parking lot, retreating into the parks vast expanses of tall grasses, and engaging in surreptitious and liberating sexual activity under the cover of darkness before wordlessly departing, never to see that partner again. Jewell then revealed that an additional 10,000 acres directly adjacent to the parkland would be set aside for perverts who like to peer in and watch that type of thing. 
2	Black Judge Calls White Victim Racist And Then Does Something That Will Make You FURIOUS [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a black judge in Kentucky just gave two armed robbers a short sentence for their crimes because he feels that the victim was racist. In a statement following the attack, the victim said she is now afraid of black people. Oh yeah, did we mention she is three years old? Reports indicate that Louisville Judge Olu Stevens criticized the parents of the toddler for their racism and called the little girls statement disturbing. Whenever we are running errands, if we come across a black male, she holds me tight and begs me to leave, the little girls mother wrote in a statement. It has affected her friendships at school and our relationships with African-American friends. I am offended, the judge said in a statement. I am deeply offended that they would be victimized by an individual and express some kind of fear of all black men. The judge ultimately gave probation to the armed robber, claiming that he deserved the opportunity to redeem himself. What do you think of the judges ruling?

The Illinois Sheriffs Department has just issued a warning to the public about a new scheme where a victim receives a letter in the mail with a check. The letter reportedly tells the recipient that they have been accepted into the Quality Control at Walmart. It goes on to inform them of their new responsibilities. The check included requires activation with a user id and a password which is supplied in the letter. Once the recipient tries to deposit it into their bank account, the thugs responsible have access to their bank account. Be sure to share this with family and friends! We do not want these thugs getting their hands on any more cash at the expense of innocent Americans. 
1	Following Monday's trade between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays involving several named individuals and a player to be named later, Double A Springfield Cardinals catcher Bryan Anderson revealed that he realizes the player to be named in the swap is him. 'Come on, let's be honestwho else would it be?' Anderson said from in front of his newly empty locker, his fully packed equipment bag slung over his shoulder. 'Everyone knows the Rays are looking for a young, cheap catching talent whose fate they can control for the next six years. In fact, I'd even bet my questionable status as a prospect was what got me onto the list of potential player matches, considering [the Devil Rays'] history of penny-pinching.' Though Anderson was admittedly upset about the impending deal, he did concede it was better than being dealt for cash considerations. 
3	Spying on Americans For Counterterrorism Will Be Conducted by New CIA DronesSusanne Posel, Contributor Justification for this necessity is campaigns in Middle Eastern regions like Pakistan and Yemen. Petraeus cites the reemergence of al-Qaeda in North Africa. This would add 10 more drones to the 35 already used in counterterrorism operations. Ironically, the CIA denied knowledge of drone use in the US during a lawsuit prompted by the ACLU; as well as refused a Freedom of Information Act request claiming that they could not confirm US government drone use. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) asserted that the use of drones in American skies were for assurance of public safety. In collaboration with corporations specializing in surveillance, DHS has made outward requests for drone manufacturers to have their products used for spying on Americans and get paid for it. The DHS has teamed up with the World Surveillance Group, Inc., to develop technologies specializing in chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive (collectively, CBRNE), command, control, computers, communication, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C5ISR), and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The federal agency also put out a solicitation for participation in the Robotic Aircraft for Public Safety (RAPS) project from the small unmanned aerial systems (SUAS) for transition to its customers to use drones in American skies for more than the expressed purpose of spying on US citizens to secure their safety. Drone testing is slated to be conducted overhead at Fort Sill Army Base in Oklahoma. According to the Borders and Maritime Security Division of the DHS, they will conduct flight testing and evaluation of airborne sensors and small unmanned aerial systems, the request reads, and now invites vendors to submit drones to be tested under a wide variety of simulated but realistic and relevant real-world operation scenarios. In July, Janet Napolitano, Secretary of DHS relayed to a House Committee meeting that drones would be useful for public safety or a disaster scenario. There is also the specific testing of a Robotic Aircraft for Public Safety that would be used for encompassing surveillance. Napolitano said: With respect to Science and Technology, that directorate, we do have a funded project, I think its in California, looking at drones that could be utilized to give us situational awareness in a large public safety [matter] or disaster, such as a forest fire, and how they could give us better information. Researchers at the University of Texas demonstrated to officials at the DHS how drones could be hacked into through their navigation systems. Known as spoofing, a false signal through the Global Positioning System (GPS) could be used to trick the drones into going onto a new course. Representatives Ed Markey and Joe Barton wrote in a letter to Michael Huerta, FAA acting commissioner, of their concerns about the flight patterns of drones in civilian airspace. The potential for invasive surveillance of daily activities with drone technology is high, Markey said. Standards for informing the public and ensuring safeguards must be put in place now to protect individual privacy. I look forward to the FAAs responses and will monitor this situation as the use of drone technology in our airspace increases. In February of this year, Congress demanded the FAA create rules to guide domestic drone flights. This action paved the way for defense and aerospace lobbyists to vie for profits amidst the hopes of using drones against American citizens. After the regulations are complete, those drones will be approved for use by private operators and local law enforcement, as well as federal agencies. Lobbyists for private firms are anxious to reap the profits to be had from the new acquisition of US military-grade drones by DHS. Jennifer Lynch, EFF staff attorney, remarked that drones could be revealing deeply personal details about American citizens. Lynch went on to state: Drones give the government and other unmanned aircraft operators a powerful new surveillance tool to gather extensive and intrusive data on Americans movements and activities. As the government begins to make policy decisions about the use of these aircraft, the public needs to know more about how and why these drones are being used to surveil United States citizens. The use of drones in American airspace could dramatically increase the physical tracking of citizens tracking that can reveal deeply personal details about our private lives. Were asking the DOT to follow the law and respond to our FOIA request so we can learn more about who is flying the drones and why. Drones serve many purposes. They are a useful tool for Obama to kill terrorists, but they can also be modified to assist farmers in spraying crops with pesticides. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

1	Showing the heart and determination that was their show's hallmark throughout its 13-week run, the stars of NBC's Stop The Presses have decided to go on with the series despite its Feb. 5 cancellation. The cast of the recently cancelled <i>Stop The Presses</i>. 'I think all the pieces were in place to make this show a big hit,' said Troy Drake, who played Stan 'Big Sticks' Hatch, a former pro-hockey player who moves back to his hometown of Petaluma, CA, to write a sports column for The Petaluma Gazette. 'It just needed more time to jell than the network was willing to give. Well, now we have all the time we need.' Though cancellation ordinarily marks the end of a series, the actors agreed there was still work to be done. 'Every show gets shelved eventually,' said Drake, speaking from the show's new set in the parking lot of a local Ralphs food store. 'But we couldn't bear the thought of abruptly cutting off all those storylines mid-stream. I think I speak for the entire cast when I say we all want to see if Bill and Andrea will eventually give in to the long-simmering sexual tension between them. And, next episode, Jessie's kooky parents swing by for a visit and wreak all kinds of chaos in her life. And that's pretty scary considering how chaotic Jessie's life already is.' The news of the cancellation was a shock to the cast and crew. No one, however, was more upset than Eddie Whyte, who played Lance Roberts, a cocky, hotshot account executive at The Petaluma Gazette with a weakness for the ladies. Just one week before NBC announced the cancellation, Whyte passed up a sizable part in an upcoming Rob Schneider movie to do Stop The Presses. 'When I found out [about the cancellation], I was devastated, because this was a project I truly believed in,' said Whyte, rummaging through the cardboard box that is now the wardrobe department. 'Our first 13 episodes really showed progress. We started coming together as an ensemble, and the writing got steadily tighter.' Despite losing their writing staff, directors, producers, camera operators, technical crew, set, props, and wardrobe, as well as a network on which to air the show, the Stop The Presses actors remain optimistic they will succeed. 'We have a remarkable cast with tremendous chemistry,' said Christine Jagerveldt, who plays Dianne Clarke, the gruff, hard-nosed, secretly lonely publisher of the Gazette. 'That's half the battle right there. And we were always ad-libbing and improvising, so scripts aren't a problem, either.' Added Jagerveldt: 'We don't even think of ourselves as the cast of a weekly sitcom anymore: We're a family. This whole ordeal has brought us closer together than we ever imagined possible.' Drake said he was genuinely surprised when ABC, CBS, Fox, UPN, WB, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, MTV, VH-1, Comedy Central, Lifetime, Nickelodeon, The Sci-Fi Channel, Bravo, A&E, Home Shopping Network, TV Land, The Discovery Channel, The Food Network, CNN, Oxygen, Noggin, The Cartoon Network, ESPN, and ESPN2 passed on Stop The Presses as a midseason replacement. 'I really thought Telemundo was going to bite,' Drake said. 'Or [local cable-access channel] 97. But if nobody wants the weekly dose of livin', learnin', and laughin' that Stop The Presses provides, that's fine by us. This is going to be a breakthrough year for Stop The Pressesmark my words. If the networks and their hundreds of syndicated affiliates don't want to be a part of it, screw 'em.' Asked why the cast plans to continue with a show that had neither viewer nor network support, Drake cited a few of his favorite moments from Stop The Presses. 'Remember the episode where tart-tongued copy editor Patti got her hand stuck in the photocopier?' Drake said. 'Or the one where Bill and Andrea got stuck together in the elevator? There have been a million moments like that, and from what I've seen of this new season, there are going to be a million more.' Bloodied but unbowed, the Stop The Presses cast is certain that the show will have a long and successful run. 'We're all excited and optimistic about what lies ahead,' Drake said. 'Barring a rash of heavy rain showers, we just might have an Emmy-winning season on our hands.'

UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL!!! Divide and conquer has been the catchphrase since July 5th 1776! Gotta give it to Americans they have resisted this long, but we MUST return to the once great Protestant Republic of America with its greatest document ever written, the constitution. The monarchies have been battling against this document for hundreds of years. AMERICANS MUST UNITE IN ORDER TO DEFEAT THE REAL ENEMY, THE BANKSTER MONEY/WAR MONGERS OF THE WORLD. We need to do what Egypt did by peacefully removing obamas puppet Morsi. The party is over! the two party nonsense has taken its toll and those who watch and believe the idiotic lamestream megaliars are complicit in the destruction of our great country! The Electoral College, the people who actually votes (we citizens do not vote), is based on the Electoral College of the Holy Roman Empire. The last Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire was King George III, who was also the last King of America. It is no coincidence. The voting in America and elsewhere is a farce mimicking the official vote for Emperor that goes on without our knowledge. The dividing of people into smaller and smaller groups is the aim of the Emperor. We ask the empire to rule us because we are afraid of each other. Without this fear the empire would crumble. Without division there is no fear. 
2	Protester Breaks U.S. Soldiers Jaw According to recent reports, the deployment of a United States Air Force mechanic to Europe has just been postponed after he was brutally assaulted by a Black Lives Matter protester. He was left with a broken jaw that sent him to the hospital. According to reports, the incident occurred after 23-year-old Matthew Whitehurst left a pre-season football game at Bank of American Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Whitehurst was walking with friends to get some food after the game when they were ambushed by protesters. When he was interviewed later, Whitehurst described the man who broke his jaw as a black male with a red bandanna and dreadlocks. And there were probably 15 to 20 of them that looked like that, Todd Whitehurst, Matthews father, told reporters. Protesters were in the area to protest the acquittal of Officer Randall Kerrick, who killed a black man in self-defense in September 2013/ I just drove home my son who has his jaw wired shut, and a mandible fractured in two with a plate and his jaw wired shut, Todd continued. And he threw up on the way home with his mouth shut. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? What kind of punishment does this protester deserve for hurting one of the men who serves to protect our country?

Bush has made it abundantly clear that he was and continues to be a stronger, more successful leader than Barack Obama will ever be. In a recent interview with CNN, Bush was asked about the grand jury decision not to indict the NYPD officer responsible for Eric Garners death. You know, the verdict was hard to understand, but I hadnt seen all the detailsbut its sad that race continues to play such an emotional, divisive part of life, Bush commented. We respect him for his poignant response, which is a stark contrast to Obamas race-baiting. Time and time again, President Obama has criticized law enforcementand many believe that he is partially to blame for the escalation of violence against officers. What do you think?

1	Some have propos'd a radickal and, some may even saye, DRASTICK measure, of securing a parcel of 'greens-space,' designated as 'off-of-Limits' to additional development, as a sort of 'Centralized Park,' and that lands in the City's middle part, between Rector Street and Wall Street, be placed under this Protecktion. Although most agree that such a Plan is an over-reaction, for surely, even in the worst of future cases, New York is un-likely to expand past the area of the Trinity Church, the Question of how much acreage of Forest the Island Manhattan can maintain is never the less a serious one. Eg, will the Forests of Manhattan some day be unable to sustain viable hunting Populations of Deere, Moose, Elke and Brown Bear? Our Bible states that these Beasts were placed here for our Benefit. We are Stewards of the Land, and it causes sadness to think that our children may not know the Joy of felling such Game, and resort to the hunting of mere Geese and Duckes instead, for lack of roome. 
3	50 Ways to Starve the BeastDaisy Luther These days the Beast has a lot more tentacles than just the government. The system now consists of the government and all aspects of Big Business. Big Agri, Big Pharma, Big Medicine, Big Food, Big Banking and Big Oil, to name a few. It seems that now its the Beast doing the starving, as small businesses close because they cant compete with Wal-Mart, the family farm is on its way out because it cant compete with the huge, subsidized Monsanto mega-farms, people are going bankrupt because they cant pay the outrageous medical bills Perhaps its time for another financial revolution one where people group together and use the power of the boycott to starve all the arms of this Beast that would swallow us whole. If we vote with our dollars, eventually there will, from necessity, be a paradigm shift that returns us to simpler days, when families that were willing to work hard could make a living without selling their souls to the corporate monoliths. Every penny you spend with small local businesses is a penny that the big box stores wont have. Everything that you buy secondhand or barter for is an item on which you wont pay sales tax. Disassociate yourself completely with the system that is making Western civilization broke, overweight and unhealthy. How do you Starve the Beast? Please share your suggestions below 
3	2 Radical Brave Choices to Prevent Cancer: Voluntary Mutilation or Clean LivingDaisy Luther Just the mention of the word causes an immediate wave of fear through young and old, rich and poor, men and women. The disease is no respecter of persons. How far would you go to lower your risk of cancer? If you are one of a growing number of women, you might go as far as to have a preventative double mastectomy. Today the media is applauding the medical choice of Angelina Jolie, who has joined celebrities Sharon Osbourne and Miss America contestant Allyn Rose in having both of her healthy breasts removed. Much is being discussed about her bravery in undergoing this procedure proactively. Im personally appalled by this action, and I know my opinion wont be a popular one. Particularly in the case of Angelina Jolie, I am disturbed, because of the influence she has. She is a beautiful woman, a very popular celebrity, and a UN ambassador. Her influence is broad many people respect her activism, and for that reason, I am fearful that many other women will consider this to be a wise course of action. Mutilating your healthy body by undergoing a series of traumatic, invasive surgeries does not sound like good preventative care to me. It sounds like a very expensive, self-mutilating reaction to tests that say you might have a health issue in the future. No matter what the percentages are that you could develop cancer in the future, the fact remains that you are removing parts of your body that are currently healthy. Breast cancer has become a multi-billion dollar industry, with all of the Think Pink products available in stores, the Run for the Cure races, and the celebrity pleas for donations. An estimated $6 billion per year has been collected from the well-meaning purchasers of all that pink gear and only a small portion of it has actually made its way to the researchers. Now we can add voluntary surgery to the profit side. The scare tactics from the Think Pink crowd have hysteria over this terrible disease at a fever pitch. Throw in a few beautiful people having their bodies mutilated preventively and easily influenced, frightened women will hop on-board. All of this has to do with normalizing something that should be anything but normal. Cancerous tumors growing inside your body should not be a common thing, but these days, it is. The Presidents Cancer Panel, a three-person panel that reports to the U.S. president on the National Cancer Program calculated that 41% of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetimes. If youre male, the chances are 1 in 2 that you will be diagnosed with some type of cancer, and women have a 1 in 3 chance of hearing the diagnosis. A Global Cancer Statistics for 2011 study names cancer as the #1 killer in the western world and #2 in developing countries. In 2000, prominent holistic researcher and practitioner Burton Goldberg addressed the US Senate regarding the increased incidence of cancer: A century ago, one in 33 people had cancer; today, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS), it is more than one in three, and growing. When I was born in 1926, cancer was the tenth leading cause of death among children now I am 73 and it is second. No other health topic today has the urgency of cancer because no other health condition is escalating as fast. The outlook is not improving, either. Despite the billions spent on cancer research, the World Health Organization predicts that deaths from cancer will DOUBLE by the year 2030. Big Pharma, Big Agri and Big Business are getting rich off of poisoning Americans. Instead of having a preventative surgery what if we tried to prevent cancer by reducing the exposure to toxins that cause cancer? Whether or not you have the genetic markers for a disease, there are still many things that you can do to keep that disease from developing that do not include voluntary amputations. There are steps you can take to limit your exposure to the toxins in our environment that are proven to cause cancer. When you do, be prepared for many people to consider your actions extreme. Interestingly enough, some of those very same people are the ones applauding the drastic measures of voluntary double mastectomies. I cant tell you how many times I have watched people roll their eyes or scoff when I refuse to partake in things that are hazardous. Somehow, drinking water from my own BPA-free water bottle is considered to be more extreme than someones brave choice of having body parts removed. Somehow, not taking my children to McDonalds or feeding them hot-dogs and Doritos is mean. Making our body care products and cleaning products from wholesome, non-toxic ingredients is silly. People can laugh all they want. They can consider me dramatic and hysterical. I am making my own brave choice to take care of my family by reducing our exposure to everyday carcinogens. Be truly proactive. Commit yourself to your health and the health of your family by identifying the dangers and then go against the current of popular opinion to avoid these perils. Dont think pink, think green. Instead of having a life-altering surgery, take steps to rid your environment of as many cancer-causing toxins as possible. We are breathing them in, eating them, and rubbing them on our skin. While changing your lifestyle is not a guarantee against cancer, neither is surgery. Be radical. Make the brave choice of living a clean life and avoiding toxins. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

1	Friends, classmates, and loved ones gathered last night at a memorial service in the Westside High School gymnasium to celebrate the life of 17-year-old Brooke Belzer, who, before she died tragically in a car accident last week, was beloved for her bright personality and for giving easily the best hand jobs in the school. The untimely passing of Belzer, whom mourners remembered as a smart, accommodating teen who loved to laugh, watch movies with friends, and bring male friends to sexual climax with her hand, has left many in the Goldsboro community in a state of shock. 'I can't believe she's gone,' said Brian Jennings, a longtime classmate and neighbor. 'It's just so shocking to think that someone as vibrant and full of life as Brooke is gone, and I'll never see her again. How can that be?' Added Jennings, 'She just rubbed me off in the Hardee's parking lot last week.' Belzer, a passenger in the single-car accident, was killed when driver Keith Foley, who survived the wreck with only minor injuries, became distracted and lost control of the vehicle. Belzer was not wearing a seat belt at the time. Classmates said the field hockey team member was very well-liked by her fellow students, who greatly enjoyed Belzer's goofy sense of humor, her habit of keeping moisturizer in her purse, and her carefree attitude. One of Belzer's oldest and dearest friends, Peter Destasio, delivered a poignant eulogy at Belzer's memorial service in which he sought to pay tribute to a young woman who was needlessly cut down in the prime of her jerking years. 'She was more than just a girl who gave awesome hand jobs,' said Destasio, who has known Belzer since before she started using both hands. 'She was someone who was really eager to learn new things. And she wouldn't even get mad if you accidently ruined her sweater. In fact, she actually thought that was kind of funny, and looking back on it, I guess it was.' 'But it was her care and attention to detail I'll miss most,' Destasio continued. 'She really took her time and didn't seem to simply want to get it over with like most girls. Fantastic wrist action. Not too fast, not too rough. Just right.' Destasio then became overcome with emotion and was unable to continue. 'She just had a smile for everyone,' said junior Douglas Keck, who added that his most cherished memory of Belzer was probably the time they shared behind the bleachers right after last year's powder-puff game. 'And to think how much more she had left to give.' Continued Keck, 'In another six months she would have probably started to use her mouth.' Those who had known Belzer since she first began giving tug jobs in eighth grade said they will miss watching her grow into a mature young woman with an increasingly impressive repertoire of stroking techniques. Counselors have been brought in to the school to aid any students who are having trouble coping with the unexpected death of a figure popular in the halls and senior parking lot of Westside High. 'There is a real sense of loss here,' said Sharon Hyerblick, a former English teacher of Belzer's. 'A lot of these kids wish they had spent more time with Brooke while she was alive. I would say the timid freshmen who never even had the chance to receive a handie from Brooke are taking this especially hard.' As he seeks to soothe the wounded hearts of his school's students and faculty, Principal Franklin Jones told reporters this week that he hopes the entire Westside High community keeps a memory in their hearts of the talented young girl who seemed to light up the faces of all the boys in the room wherever she would go. 'In her brief time on this earth Brooke touched so many,' Jones said. 'She gave so freely of herself and her skills and I'm sure she will be remembered fondly for the rest of our lives. It's just a shame that this tragedy happened so close to prom.' 
3	ACLU argues in court that NSA surveillance violates Constitutional rights, exceeds Patriot ActMadison Ruppert The ACLUs case is one of two cases currently moving forward in the court system challenging the legality of the NSAs various surveillance programs. At issue is the NSA collection of all U.S. phone records from Verizon, revealed in June based on documents leaked by Edward Snowden. ACLU deputy legal director Jameel Jaffer saying the type of surveillance is exactly what the Fourth Amendment was designed to prevent. The constitution does not permit the NSA to place hundreds of millions of innocent people under permanent surveillance because of the possibility that information about some tiny subset of them will become useful to an investigation in the future, Jaffer said, according to the Guardian. The ACLUs case was filed in June just a short time after the collection of Verizon records was revealed by the Guardian. The case names Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Director of the National Security Agency Keith Alexander, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, Attorney General Eric Holder and FBI Director Robert Mueller. They argue in court filings that the program operates in line with orders from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), though that court has been harshly criticized by civil liberties groups. The FISCs decisions are shrouded in a great deal of secrecy, with the Obama administration acting to block the release of an opinion that revealed at least one breach of the Fourth Amendment by the government. The ACLU argues that they do have standing in the case because they may have had their conversations with clients compromised by the records collection program since they are clients of Verizon. Arguments were heard last Monday in a separate challenge brought by the conservative group Freedom Watch. U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia focused on if the challengers had the legal right to be in court or if his court had the authority to make a ruling in the case. Leon didnt rule on the case but said that hes sure the case is going upstairs, referring to the case being appealed to a higher court. The Supreme Court, however, rejected a request to review a case brought by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). EPIC asked the Court to review if the FISC exceeded its authority in forcing Verizon to hand over all of the records for their US customers, but the Court refused and did not explain its reasoning. The government argued that only the government itself or the recipient of an order, in this case Verizon, can seek review of an order. It remains to be seen if the government will make similar arguments in future cases challenging NSA programs.

3	Did Obama Just Make A Deal With Israel To Delay The War With Iran Until After The Election?Michael Snyder, Contributor Just think about it. If Israel attacked Iran right now, who would that please? It would mostly please hardcore Republicans, and they are not going to vote for Obama anyway. To independents and liberals, Obama would look like a guy that couldnt stop war from happening in the Middle East. If the U.S. showed support for the Israeli attack, that would greatly discourage his anti-war supporters from going to the polls. If the U.S. did not show support for the Israeli attack, Obama would potentially lose many of the Jewish voters that he desperately needs in swing states such as Florida. A war between Israel and Iran is a no-win situation for Obama right now, and as I wrote about yesterday, the Obama administration has been trying to discourage Israel from attacking Iran for weeks. Well, now it is being reported in major international news sources that a deal has been reached between Obama and Israel. Obama is going to publicly declare what the red lines are that will cause the U.S. to strike Irans nuclear program, and the U.S. military is going to send some of their most advanced bunker busting bombs to Israel. Those bombs will come in very handy in getting at the Iranian nuclear facilities that are hidden underground. In return, Israel has apparently agreed to delay the attack on Iran until after the election. So would Barack Obama really play politics with war in the Middle East? Of course he would. Barack Obama is obsessed with winning a second term and he would make a deal with just about anyone if it will get him closer to his goal. So in the end, it looks like both sides are going to get what they want. At some point there will be an attack on Irans nuclear program, and Obama gets it delayed until after the election. According to Fox News, Israeli officials have admitted that they have been involved in talks with the Obama administration about Irans nuclear program. Israeli officials said Tuesday they are in close discussions with the United States over how to deal with the Iranian nuclear program, seeking to ease tensions that have emerged between the two allies over a possible Israeli military strike against Iran. The dialogue, in which Israel is looking for President Barack Obama to take a tough public position against Iran, suggests the odds of an Israeli attack in the near term have been reduced. But I have not found a U.S. news source that is reporting on the details of the deal that has apparently been reached. The following is from an Israeli news source. The United States may supply Israel with advanced Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker-buster bombs that can penetrate through up to 60 feet (almost 20 meters) of reinforced concrete, reports Maariv Tuesday. This is part of a deal being worked out between the countries, which also includes the supply of refueling jets. This equipment will make the job of demolishing Irans nuclear weapon production array more feasible for Israel, should it decide to do so. In exchange for the weapons, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will agree to hold off on an independent attack until after the U.S. elections. President Barack Obama fears that a war could negatively affect his chances of being reelected. Israel, on the other hand, fears that Obamas re-election could create diplomatic and military conditions that allow Iran to acquire the weapon it needs for killing millions of Israelis. The latest generation of bunker busting bombs is reportedly unlike anything that has ever been seen before. The following is how a recent Wired article described them. Its an absolutely ginormous bomb designed to convince rogue regimes that there is no redoubt for the manufacture of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons buried deep enough to escape the U.S. Air Force. Reportedly, the U.S. Air Force has spent approximately 200 million dollars developing these bombs. In addition, the Israeli government has been pressuring Obama to take a firm public stand against Iran, and it looks like that is about to happen. According to the Telegraph, Barack Obama will shortly announce the red lines that would cause the U.S. to launch a military strike against Iran. But of course none of those red lines will not be crossed until after the election in November. You can take that one to the bank. Obama is a political animal and he is going to do what is best for his political career. So why arent we hearing about this deal between Obama and Israel in the U.S. media? Well, it is because the U.S. media is so busy covering all of the other important news items of the day. Just check out some of the headlines that I pulled off of major U.S. news websites earlier today. Katie Courics new talk show digs a little deeper Michelle Obama on how shell pick DNC dress When exercise equipment lies Kelly Ripa reveals new Live! co-host Heidi and Seal Top Hollywoods Nastiest Divorces Ready for iPhone 5? Apple is Prince Harry steps out for first time since scandal In America, the media tells us what the news is going to be, and the American people accept it. The media is dominated by just a handful of incredibly powerful corporate conglomerates, so the news is actually not that hard to control. I would think that it would be important for the American people to know that the date for the war with Iran has been pushed back until after the election because Obama wanted it that way, but obviously the big news networks disagree with me.

1	President George W. Bush sustained a perforation injury to his right eyelid when a pneumatic nail gun malfunctioned and shot a 12-centimeter-long iron nail that entered Bush's superonasal sclera, exited through his upper eyelid, and then penetraed the wall of the White House Blue Room. The president remained pinned to the wall for a period of 27 hours before help arrived. According to witnesses, Bush was found passed out with blood dripping from his right tear duct. Doctors confirmed that the intraocular foreign body was removed during a four-hour operation Sunday, and reported significant damage to Bush's supratrochlear nerve, likely caused by the president's unsuccessful attempt to forcibly rip his eyelid in half to escape. It is unclear whether he will ever regain sight in his right eye. Bush is resting comfortably at Bethesda Naval Hospital. 
2	Fans Shocked After Faith Hill Makes THIS Revealing Statement About Obama After hearing her music and listening to her values, one would be inclined to believe that Faith Hill would be a conservative. As it turns out, that couldnt be farther from the truth. In fact, she is a strong Obama-supporter. Its innate in me to be a blue-dog Democrat, Hills husband Tim McGraw told People. Im not saying Im right or wrong, but thats what I am. My wife and I and our family will do everything we can to support Obama. I like his ideas, I like his energy, and I like the statement he would make for our country to the world. Well, were seeing that statement be made and it aint pretty. As it turns out, this country duo is fueling the fire. Both regularly donate to the Democratic party as well as Obamas campaigns. And the two havent ruled out running themselves. McGraw was reportedly recruited years back to run for a U.S. Senate seat in Tennesseeand opportunity that he turned down because of family obligations. Its more of a leadership role, and I think thats something that Id do well, he told reporters. That doesnt rule out senator; I just think that as governor of a state, especially where I live, there would b ea lot more opportunities to make some decisions and change some things. What do you think? Are you disappointed in these country stars? 
1	Louisiana National Guard Offers Help By Phone From Iraq BAGHDADThe 4,000 Louisiana National Guardsmen stationed in Iraq, representing over a third of the state's troops, called home this week to find out what, if any, help they could offer Katrina survivors from overseas. 'The soldiers wanted to know if they could call 911 for anyone, or perhaps send some water via FedEx,' said Louisiana National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Pete Schneider. The Guardsmen also 'would love to send generators, rations, and Black Hawk helicopters for rescue missions,' but, said Schneider, 'we desperately need these in Iraq to stay alive.' Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld praised the phone support, but noted that it would take months to transfer any equipment from Iraq to New Orleans, saying, 'You fight a national disaster with the equipment you have.' Government Relief Workers Mosey In To Help FEMA representatives call out to survivors, 'Show us your tits for emergency rations!' NEW ORLEANSFederal Emergency Management Agency director Michael Brown, leading a detachment of 7,500 relief workers, moseyed on down to New Orleans Monday afternoon. 'Well, I do declare, it's my job to see if any of these poor folks need any old thing,' Brown said from his command rocker on the command post porch, adding, 'Mighty hot day, ain't it?' Follow-up teams of emergency relief workers are expected to begin ambling into the Gulf Coast region as early as this weekend. 'They should be getting the trucks good and warmed up anytime now, and they'll be cruising into town just as soon as all the reservists stroll in,' said Brown, who is currently at his desk awaiting offers of food, water, and evacuation buses to roll in from 'somewhere or other.' Refugees Moved From Sewage-Contaminated Superdome To Hellhole Of Houston HOUSTONEvacuees from the overheated, filth-encrusted wreckage of the New Orleans Superdome were bussed to the humid, 110-degree August heat and polluted air of Houston last week, in a move that many are resisting. 'Please, God, not Houston. Anyplace but Houston,' said one woman, taking shelter under an overpass. 'The food there is awful, and the weather is miserable. And the trafficit's like some engineer was making a sick joke.' Authorities apologized for transporting survivors to a city 'barely better in any respect,' but said the blistering-hot, oil-soaked Texas city was in fact slightly better, and that casualties due to gunfire would be no worse. White Foragers Report Threat Of Black Looters NEW ORLEANSThroughout the Gulf Coast, Caucasian suburbanites attempting to gather food and drink in the shattered wreckage of shopping districts have reported seeing AfricanAmericans 'looting snacks and beer from damaged businesses.' 'I was in the abandoned Wal-Mart gathering an air mattress so I could float out the potato chips, beef jerky, and Budweiser I'd managed to find,' said white survivor Lars Wrightson, who had carefully selected foodstuffs whose salt and alcohol content provide protection against contamination. 'Then I look up, and I see a whole family of [African-Americans] going straight for the booze. Hell, you could see they had already looted a fortune in diapers.' Radio stations still in operation are advising store owners and white people in the affected areas to locate firearms in sporting-goods stores in order to protect themselves against marauding blacks looting gun shops. [pagebreak] Another Saints Season Ruined Before It Begins NEW ORLEANSFront-office executives of the New Orleans Saints football team provided a much-needed dose of normalcy Monday when they announced that, for the 23rd year running, the Saints season had been ruined before it began. 'I'd say this is even worse than when Mike Ditka traded away all our draft picks to get Ricky Williams,' said Saints vice president of pro-personnel operations Bill Kuharich. 'But there's one thing we Saints can always rely on: our chances for a winning season being shitcanned before we play a single down. We're proud to have carried on with this tradition despite everything.' The National Football League has declined the Saints' 'mercy rule' request to be allowed to forfeit all their home games, saying the team must set an example for its home city by being blown out in every contest. Shrimp Joint Now Shrimp Habitat NEW ORLEANSBig Etienne's, a popular stop for New Orleans-style jambalaya, shrimp po' boys, and gumbo, has become a near-perfect habitat for Penaeus setiferus, the ubiquitous white shrimp used in jambalaya, shrimp po' boys, and gumbo. 'It's far too early to call this a bright side, but the restaurant's location on the Delta, combined with its rickety, shabby-chic fisherman's dcor, have combined to create a serviceable ecosystem for this particular species of marine life,' said Juanita Colon of the Federal Department of Fisheries. Colon said if floodwaters recede significantly, many New Orleans parking lots would be suitable locations for the cultivation of dirty rice. Bush Urges Victims To Gnaw On Bootstraps For Sustenance WASHINGTON, DCIn an emergency White House address Sunday, President Bush urged all people dying from several days without food and water in New Orleans to 'tap into the American entrepreneurial spirit' and gnaw on their own bootstraps for sustenance. 'Government handouts are not the answer,' Bush said. 'I believe in smaller government, which is why I have drastically cut welfare and levee upkeep. I encourage you poor folks to fill yourself up on your own bootstraps. Buckle down, and tear at them like a starving animal.' Responding to reports that many Katrina survivors have lost everything in the disaster, Bush said, 'Only when you work hard and chew desperately on your own footwear can you live the American dream.' 
2	Ferguson Cop Owns Violent Race Rioter When He Cries Racism [VIDEO] Recently, a dramatic encounter between a Ferguson protestor and a veteran cop has been making headlines. The confrontation was captured in photographs, and took place on the second night of the riots last week. The incident was just one of many that took place in light of the grand jurys decision to indict Police Officer Darren Wilson. According to reports, Officer Greg Casem just simply couldnt keep his mouth shut when he saw a 20-something-man destroying the town they had both grown up in. Ive known you for a long time bro25 years Ive been here. 25 years! Casem shouted at the lawbreaker. Youre killing us! Were not killing yall, so stop killing us! the protestor yelled back. Ive known you for a long time bro. A long time, Casem said, holding his hand at his waist. Since you were this big. The emotional interaction took place on the sight of the historic downtown Ferguson district, which was ravaged by protestors. More than a dozen buildings were burnt down, a police car was torched, and the windows of City Hall were shattered. Look at that, look at that! yelled Casem. How are these families gonna eat? How are they gonna get their diapers? What do you think of the confrontation? How would you have acted if you were Casem? 
3	Banned: Chase Bank Says You Can No Longer Store Cash or Precious Metals In Your Safe Deposit BoxBy Mac Slavo The whole idea made no sense, unless of course you are a big government stooge whose end-game is complete control over peoples assets and a desire to track the purchasing activities of consumers. Now, a new report from Paul Joseph Watson at Infowars.com suggests that this may well be the goal. It turns out that its not just Citigroup who wants cash to be banned. The content of a post over on the Collectors Universe message board suggests that we may be about to see a resurgence of the old fashioned method of stuffing bank notes under the mattress. Contents of the box: You agree not to store any cash or coins other than those found to have a collectible value. Another change is that signatures will no longer be accepted to access the box. The next time they go in they have to bring two forms of ID and they will be issued a four-digit pin number that will be used to access the box then and in the future. The letter, entitled Updated Safe Deposit Box Lease Agreement, was sent out to customers at the beginning of the month. Hide your wallets, the banksters are on the move, warns the Economic Policy Journal. The reasons for this new policy change should be clear and should come as no surprise.If you cant keep your cash or precious metals in a safe deposit box, what are you supposed to do with it? The answer is simple: Youre not supposed to have cash or gold. Youre supposed to keep your money in a zero-interest bearing account with your financial institution. Either that or stuffit under your mattress. And this is where the scam comes in. First, bank tellers have now been ordered by the government to report on individuals making suspicious withdrawals of cash so that police can then investigate and seize the funds. [W]e encourage those institutions to consider whether to take more action: specifically, to alert law enforcement authorities about the problem, who may be able to seize the funds, initiate an investigation, or take other proactive steps. So what exactly constitutes suspicious activity?Basically anything. Second, if they cant seize your money for lack of suspicious activity, theyll take a different route. You may think the money you have on deposit is insured by the FDIC, or that it is actually your money to begin with. But the cold hard fact is that once you deposit money at a financial institution it no longer belongs to you. And thats why assetmanager Ann Barnhardt recently warned that Americans should start taking their money out of banks becausenew legislation and regulations have ensured that all legal bank deposit protections are now officially gone. all customer funds in the United States are now the legal property of JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNYM, or whichever megabank is the counterparty on the loans the FCM or depository institution takes out in order to fund its mega-levered proprietary in-house trading desks. Now consider the implications of these new policies within the context of what JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said just a couple of weeks ago, when he warned that an even more volatile crisis than what we experienced in 2008 is on the horizon: The trigger to the next crisis will not be the same as the trigger to the last one but there will be another crisis. So what we have here is the CEO of the very company that restricts your safe deposit holdings and wants you to put your financial assets into their bank deposit system telling you that there will be another crisis. Of course, a majority of Americans believe the economy is doing good and over two-thirds of the country believes things will be even better a year now. If you thinkthings are great and the warning signs are nothing but fear mongering than we urge you to put everything you own into real estate, tech stocks and bank deposits. Because, as were sure youve been told, prices can only go up from here. If, however, you have a feeling that something just isnt right, then you might consider making plans to prepare for the financial crisis Jamie Dimon says is coming. Related reading: You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this article first appeared. I was going to say not to trust safe deposit boxes, but I see theres already a link to a column under Related Reading. Chase is making quite a name for itself as worse even than other large banks. Dump them! Its actually not worth to be American citizen anymore. I stopped using safe deposit boxes period when I started reading about banks selling off the contents of them when they have not been accessed for a certain period of time without contacting the owner who lived in the same local for decades. This has happened many times. Besides if there is a bank holiday you wont be able to get any of your stuff anyway. I predict a surge in the sale of fireproof safes. The danger behind the idea of a cashless society, is that if natural disaster, war, or technical system collapse were to occur locally, regionally, or nationally people would have no other means of trade except to barter. This could have the potential to quickly cause civil unrest. Other than that it means the total end of privacy for purchase and of association. Therefore the only logical conclustion is that its a reckless idea, unless you want to be a totalitarian dictator of course. And by the way how the hell do they know what is in our safe deposit boxes unless they are robbing spying on us? They are trying to flush out everyones cash and metals because they are going to be moving in for the kill real soon.

2	Pizza Deliveryman Rapes Woman In Front Of Her Daughter, His Excuse Will Make You Furious Cesar Lucas, is 18-year-old boy pizza boy who raped a woman on the Upper West Side, while her seven-year-old daughter slept beside her. Lucas claims the rape occurred because he was horny, and is not facing 13 years in prison. Lucas does not seem to understand the severity of his actions, admitted to illegal entering into Kia Graves apartment in September of 2012. He tried to claim that she was very drunk at the time. Lucas was delivering pizza to an apartment on the same floor as Walkers, when he allegedly noticed that the door was slightly ajar. He was only 16 years old at the time. Graves has waived her anonymity so that she could tell her story to the media. Your honor, he has violated me and my family, Graves told the courtroom, They say time heals everything, but Im still waiting. He deserves everything the court is sentencing him to today. According to reports from The New York Post, Lucas handed in a written confession that Graves was intoxicated at the time of the attack. The letter also stated that he felt feelings he had never experienced before, which led him to commit the crime. She was completely drunk, Lucas wrote in the letter, I was really pretty scare because she was drunk and I kind ah took advantage of her. Still, Lucas is failing to take complete control of his actions and is instead claiming that the victim wanted it, claiming that she was physically aroused during the assault. His lawyer, Gary Villanueva, however, claims that Lucas is a remorseful young man from a caring, decent, and solid family. I have nightmares thinking that hes getting out of jail, claims Graves, I wake up all the time making sure my door is locked. I sleep with one eye open, basically. I have panic attacks and I wake up in sweats. Lucas claims a type of disea made him enter the flat and commit the crime. Shortly after, he was picked up from the pizza shop he worked at and charged with rape and burglary. He told the police upon his arrest that he was feeling horny. He also claimed that he got a type of disease in a way he never had felted before. What do you think? Should Lucas be put away for more than 13 years?

Now, it appears that Reid wants to change even more rulesas if his involvement with bribes and undercover deals havent been enough of a burden on the American people. Now, it appears that Reid has been linked to a new bribery case, in which two state attorney generals have been arrested. According to the Washington Times, Utah prosecutors have recently filed criminal charges against two former state attorneys. The filing makes unmistakable references to a pay-to-play influence scheme involving Reid. The reports reveal that Utah County D.A. Sim Gill has charged John Swallow and Mark Shurtleff with numerous felony state crimesincluding bribery and a pattern of unlawful activity. The vague charges were enough to take the men into custody. This is a sad day for Utah, Governor Gary R. Herbert told reporters, claiming that no matter what happens between the two men in court, it has become a black eye for our state. Both Shurtleff and Swallow have maintained their innoncence, and now attention is shifting to Reid. According to the reports, the documents detail attempts by Jeremy Johnson, a Utah businessman, to secure meetings with Mr. Reid. What do you think? Should Reid lose his position?

The young girl is now disfigured, and will require extensive reconstructive surgery after her face was smashed in by a group of rowdy thugs at a convenience store in Louisiana. According to reports, Jessica and Jared were on their way home after a day of swimming when they entered the convenience store. Jessica was still in her bikini at the time, and Jared was waiting in the car. When the group of four or five men noticed her, they immediately started catcalling her, making aggressive sexual remarks. Jared spotted this through the window, and decided to join Jessica in the store. I walk out of the station and theres these guys starting at Jessica saying sexual comments, he told reporters. When he tried to tell the group to back down, they jumped him. Desperately, the two managed to make their way back to the carbut the violence did not end there. One of the thugs threw a bass pipe through the passenger side window, hitting Jessica in the face. I looked down and say my teeth in my hand, Jessica told reporters. The pipe broke and damaged 12 of Jessicas front teeth and ripped half of her top lip from her face. Ultimately, Jessica will need 4 tooth implants at a cost of $2,000/each. What do you think of this heinous crime? Does Jessica deserve to have her story told?

Our data show a strong, statistically significant correlation between consuming servings of red meat and pushing back ones chair, letting out a satisfied sigh, and gently patting or rubbing ones abdomen with either one or both hands, said lead researcher Elliott Hyde, who explained that eating cuts of beef, pork, or lamb was also found to cause acute sereneness and glazing-over of the eyes. Subjects who ate steaks, burgers, roasts, or chops were also 80 percent more susceptible than non-meat-eaters to groaning happily at audible volumes, and were particularly at risk of uttering vocalizations that contained the phrases Oh, yeah, Mmm, and That was good. The report further revealed that the consumption of processed meats, such as bacon and sausage, was linked to a 100 percent chance of seconds. 
3	The Truman Show, Facebook, The Social Network: life under a domeBy Jon Rappoport Huxleys Brave New World trumps Orwells 1984, because it posits pleasure as the ultimate control device. Genetic and pharmaceutical innovators will engineer brains along a narrow bounded channel of satisfaction. Brave New World is a countrified suburb of the mind. Accept all the feedback signals and youll have your miniature package of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Youll have the outcome, as if youd done something to gain it, when in fact no effort was necessary. Skip right to the end of the story. Youre already under the dome. There was no story. (The Underground, Jon Rappoport) The 1998 film, The Truman Show, presents a character, Truman Burbank, who unknowingly stars in a 30-year soap opera/reality show about his own life, under a giant dome whose boundaries are hidden from him. The show is broadcast to a global audience of billions. The fake town Truman lives in, Seahaven, is populated by a massive number of actors playing real people. Seahavens creator, director, executive producer, and god, Christof (Cue the sun), is convinced that the deception is benign, because Trumans life in the synthetic town is far happier than anything he could find in the real world, a sick place. As Truman begins to suspect hes existing in an elaborate set, a movement arises, among the shows audience, who avidly root for him to escape. That becomes the hook. That becomes the primary item of suspense and tension. Watching the film, we see the false reality and the viewing audience hoping for Trumans liberation. That viewing audience, of course, is vicariously wishing and hoping for their own rescue, because they, too, are trapped. Their real world is very much like Trumans. But, when all is said and done, audience is audience. For isolated moments, the adrenaline pumps, the highs are felt, and then normality sets in. Truman escaped; wonderful; change the channel; find another program. Now, if we had a Truman Show II, where Truman lives in the real world and talks with people and shares his 30-year illusionwe might find some truly interesting material. The escapee reflects on his velvet-lined trap. The escapee recalls how it felt to discover, bit by bit, the trap. The escapee meets the creator (Christof). The escapee sits down with a few loyal viewers, who followed his artificial existence for the full 30 years, and they explain their fascination with the Show. They see Truman now, beyond the character they rooted for inside their television sets. You know, Truman, I dont find you as interesting in the flesh. Really? Why not? Because the Show allowed me to look in on a whole different world. But now? Youre here, in my world. Now were both trapped in something we cant see clearly. Were inside it. Cue Facebook. It was inevitable that audience would want to become actor, and Facebook was invented, with CIA-connected money, in order to make that happen (while also providing an ideal voluntary framework of users to accommodate the voracious appetite of the Surveillance State). Facebook is a safety valve: Here, people, now you can star in your own media creation. Reveal mundane details about your lives and share them with other FB stars. The award-winning 2010 film, The Social Network, is a fictional representation of Facebooks creation. At the heart of the film is a legal/money struggle over FBs ownership. In other words, the film is a melodrama about who profits from a meaningless business that allows audience to become small-time actor. Facebook is The Truman Show happening on the Internet. Celebrate your lives under the dome by connecting with other inhabitantspicnic photos, vacation videos, all the acceptable details of a fabricated existenceand you can demean a few personal and petty enemies along the way. The Surveillance State, of which FB is a functioning piece, is The Truman Show control room, where directors and technicians deploy cameras to watch all the Truman Burbanks live out their lives. In both cases, the promise is the same: toe the line and youll be happy and protected. These days, we have another domethe Capitol, under which the 535 members of the US Congress do their work. Several of these elected officials are protesting the secrecy surrounding the negotiations and content of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) treaty. Yet not one of them is willing, so far, to step forward and reveal, in complete detail, what he knows about the treaty, which will create a form of international governance over the United States. These 535 legislators are also living in a synthetic Seahaven. Theyre Truman Burbanks, minus the desire to escape. They would doom the population of America to a future of mega-corporate oligarchy, rather than risk spending a night in jail for breaking silence. Their Truman Show is playing 24/7. The viewing audience isnt rooting hard for them to break protocol on the TPP, because the audience holds little hope for such an outcome, based on past performance. The public approval rating for Congress is hovering at about 19%. You cant get sink lower than that. But their Truman Show goes on. Ratings in that venue dont matter. Viewership and readership for large mainstream news outlets have been on a fade for years. That Truman Show endures because the media companies are actively constructing and maintaining the synthetic Seahaven. Without them, it would disappear. Christof: We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented, its as simple as thatIf his [Trumans] was more than just a vague ambition, if he [Truman] was absolutely determined to discover the truth, theres no way we could prevent himIve given Truman the chance to lead a normal lifeSeahaven is the way the world should beI am the creatorof a television show. As Truman is finally about to open the exit-door hidden in the fake sky of Seahaven, Cristof contacts him. His voice descends on Truman from that sky: Truman: [to an unseen Christof] Who are you? Christof: [voice-over] I am The Creator of a television show that gives hope and joy and inspiration to millions. Truman: Then who am I? Christof: Youre the star. Truman: Was nothing real? Christof: You were real. Thats what made you so good to watch. Of course; Truman was the only one, in all of Seahaven, who believed the town and the set and the actors were real. Until his moment of discovery, until he now exits. What will therefore happen to Seahaven? The shows producers will have to turn off the lights. Its of no use anymore. Its been exposed. So it is with the matrix of consensus. Each person who sees through it can have an effect, beyond what is ordinarily supposed. In the late 1980s, I embarked on an extensive research project with a brilliant hypnotherapist, Jack True. One of Jack strategies with patients involved having them invent vignettes, dreams, alternate realities. Jack wrote: These arent merely stories. Each vignette has its own space and time, and if the patient becomes acutely aware of it, he will then deal with this space and time, where we spend our days, in a different way. Hell cease to feel trapped. Hell begin thinking in a new fashion. Hell spontaneously come upon ideas that otherwise would never have arisen. Hell know more about freedom than he ever did before.

Based on some of the augmented reality videos that companies like Microsoft have showcased recently, this stuff looks utterly mind-blowing. That was pretty neat wasnt it? However, there is a dark side to all of the computing technologies we have at our disposal right now, and augmented reality will be no different. Its just as likely that this technology is going to provide soul sucking, vapid escapism on a scale that we have never seen before. Its going to blur the lines between reality and the digital world in truly disturbing ways. Visual artist Keiichi Matsuda recently produced a 6-minute short film that gives us glimpse into the freaky augmented future thats ahead of us.

2	These Patriotic Parents Are Facing Jail Time For Defying Obama Over the past few years, an increasing number of teachers, administrators, students, and parents have started speaking out against Obamas Common Core educational program. In fact, thousands of students throughout the country have made the controversial decision to opt out of the standardized testing system. According to recent reports, a group of parents in South Carolina are facing charges for resisting Obamas plan, by allowing their students not to take the test. Chief Operating Officer of South Carolinas Education Department Elizabeth Carpentier reportedly threatened parents with 30 days of jail time if their students do not participate. Of course, the Public Information Office is denying the threats, but this is not the first time weve heard of similar demands. Obamas Secretary of Education Arne Duncan threatened schools and parents with a federal funding cut if they refuse Common Core. Duncans statements reflect a growing pressure on education bureaucrats to keep states locked into the Common Core, claimed a spokesperson for the Home School Legal Defense Association. What do you think? Do parents have the right to prevent their children from taking the standardized tests?

1	It was a return to the days of old-fashioned Hollywood surgical glamour Saturday, as Elizabeth Taylor was rushed to Yul Brynner Memorial Hospital for an emergency rhinestonectomy. Liz Taylor greets the press and adoring fans following surgery to remove years of excess jewel build-up in her brain. 'Years of trinket build-up, in which millions of bits of jewelry and various other baubles collected within Miss Taylor's brainpan, had caused a rhinestone of life-threatening size to develop in her cerebral cortex,' Dr. Richard Ambrose, the media-dubbed 'Surgeon To The Stars,' told reporters. Surgeons worked heroically to save the life of the still-stunning 65-year-old star of Butterfield 8 and Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, anesthetizing her with champagne mimosas before unlatching her breathtaking face for safe keeping and entering the brain cavity to remove the golf ball-sized rhinestone. The dazzling rhinestone will be auctioned at Sotheby's later this month to benefit AIDS research, a spokesperson for Taylor said. A team of five top medical professionals was required for the procedure, including two anesthesiologist/bartenders, two neurological surgeons and an additional doctor whose job was to stare lovingly into Taylor's legendary violet eyes. 'Fortunately, we were able to remove the immense, glittering mass without doing any damage to Miss Taylor's beautiful hair,' Ambrose said. 'That's because her extensively reconstructed nose has, at this point, become so elastic that a human fist can be directly inserted into the brain via the sinus passages.' A virtual Who's Who of the Hollywood elite showed up for the gala neurosurgical event. 'We're so glad that Liz pulled through,' said a teary-eyed Nicole Kidman, who attended the rhinestonectomy with husband Tom Cruise and fellow Hollywood power couple John Travolta and Kelly Preston. 'And have you tried the pat? Its simply sinful!' 'I first fell in love with Liz when I was 11 years old, when I saw her in International Velvet,' star of stage and screen Nathan Lane said. 'And let me tell you, she looked more gorgeous than ever today under that knife.' The 16-hour procedure consisted of eight hours of surgery plus dinner; dancing; a video tribute to Taylor, narrated by Paul Newman; and a special celebrity fund-raising equestrian event. Though paparazzi were banned from the exclusive black-tie medical procedure, some two dozen press helicopters hovered overhead, hoping to snap a photo of the Queen of Glamour's major neurosurgery, which was held in Yul Brynner Memorial Hospital's brand-new, $150 million open-air atrium. The operation represents Taylor's most serious health crisis since May 1994, when doctors performed an emergency husbosuction to remove massive husbidinal residuewhich had accumulated over the course of the star's 22 marriagesfrom her chest cavity. The amount of husbandic tissue removed was enough to form homunculi of seven adult men, three of which are Richard Burton and are now alive and well in the Southern California area. After successful completion of the surgery, Taylor was returned to her private berth at the the exclusive Santa Fortuna Pacific Yacht Club for after-surgery drinks and recuperation. 
3	Pill Robot: The Pharmacist of the Future?Nicholas West Until now, it has been argued that robots actually free up the potential of humans to engage in the skilled labor where they belong, rather than the mundane drudgery of repetitive tasks like assembly lines, for instance. However, current trends are demonstrating that even skilled labor will soon be replaced. In fact, this is happening across the board in areas such as remote control manufacturing, AI-enhanced domestic service, and, of course, warfare. In the medical field we are now seeing robotic assistantsin surgery and diagnostics, as well as research, manufacturing and dispensing. Enter ROBOT-Rx: quite possibly the pharmacist of the future. Working in tandem with a system that declares your name is a barcode ROBOT-Rx dispenses medications with a 99.9% accuracy and can even prioritize orders and fill them in the most logical sequence. According to Singularity Hub, this pill robot is already dispensing 350 million doses annually at over 1/3 of medium and large hospital pharmacies in America. Thanks to ROBOT-Rx, Big Pharma will dispense death in anincreasingly efficient and rapid-fire manner to the pill-popping public who await with open mouths their latest round from the disease machine.

The flag had been hung proudly in the business for nearly nine months, and started to receive some negative attention.

2	Congress Slams Horrible News Down Michelle Obamas Throat On Her Way Out... According to recent reports, the House Freedom Caucus, a powerful group of Republican lawmakers in the lower chamber, is pushing Congress to end Michelle Obamas disastrous school lunch program. A document released on the website of Rep. Mark Meadows called for the repeal of certain parts of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The bill was instrumental in helping push Michelle Obamas program into law. The document is part of a wider initiative called, First 100 Days: Rules, Regulations, and Executive Orders to Examine, Revoke and Issue. The largest of the five school and center-based programs, the National School Lunch Program, fed about 30 million children each school day in 2014 and cost $12.7 billion, the report read. The rules are hallmarks of the Obama administration, but kids arent eating the foods, industries cant comply with the standards, and schools are wasting money. Not to mention, students have been pushing back on the program. Since 2012, more than 1.2 million students have stopped eating school lunches altogether. And those getting lunches are throwing a good portion of them away, especially fruits and vegetables. What do you think? Are you ready for Michelle Obama to be out of the White House? 
2	BREAKING: Obama Is Single Handedly Forcing Christians Out Our Military [SEE DETAILS] Over the past few years, weve seen a rise in hostility from the government toward Christians in the military. Weve seen several instances of Christian men and women in uniform being disciplined for expressing their faith, and some fear that the military is being turned into an actively anti-Christian institution. According to reports from The Washington Times, large numbers of Christians are leaving the military due to the hostile work environment that doesnt let them express their beliefs openly. The report goes on to note that Michael Berry of the Liberty Institute claims that he is dealing with several high-profile cases of military chaplains facing punishment for private counseling sessions that reflected the teachings of their religion and that this cases could cause devout Americans who are qualified for military service to think twice about joining the military. People of faith are going to stay away from the military, Mr. Berry said in an interview with The Washington Times. I would have serious reservations about my own kids joining. What do you think? Is what the Obama administration is doing to our military and Christians criminal?

There are nearly 250,000 people in Arizona have gun permits, and some Americans are arguing that it is a terrible idea for them to add to the chaos. Sometimes its not proper to pull the trigger because the collateral damage is not worth it, Steve Henry of the Pinal County Sheriffs Office told reporters. We dont want to walk into a gun fight between anybody, much less a gun fight where people are untrained. Arpaio is standing behind his position, however. All Im saying is if its controversial, then OK, let it be controversial, but we have to protect the public, Arpaio concluded. What do you think? Do you support Sheriff Joe? 
3	NATO Baiting Russia into WarTony Cartalucci The New York Times, in a recent article admits that the military campaign Kiev is carrying out against its own citizens in eastern Ukraine is overt brutality carried out by literal flag-waving Nazis, with the all but stated goal of provoking a Russian invasion. Brutal Provocations The New York Times in an article titled, Ukraine Strategy Bets on Restraint by Russia, states: Shelling populated centers and raiding villages far from its tenuous base of support does not appear to be Kiev defending itself, nor in line with the international norms frequently cited by Washington, London, and Brussels when justifying humanitarian interventions elsewhere throughout the world. The NYT also notes that Russia threatened to intervene amid Kievs brutality, but never did calling into question the notion that Russia is being aggressive. The NYT continues, with what appears to be language designed to provoke Russia into crossing its border with Ukraine to intervene: And in this statement, the NYT admits that indeed the Banderite Nazis NATO is aiding, funding, and soon to be training and arming , are carrying out a campaign of brutality causing extensive deaths of pro-Russian civilians. Nazis and Western Complicity The NYT also explicitly admits that Nazis line the ranks of the militias fighting for NATOs regime in Kiev, and carrying out this campaign of provocation: While the NYT attempts to cast as an ambiguous light as possible upon the connections Azov has with Nazism, the Azov Battalion does not simply fly a neo-Nazi symbol resembling a Swastika as its flag. The symbol is in fact the Wolfsangel used by Adolf Hitlers various SS military divisions during World War II and is as good as saluting Hitler himself to affirm allegiance to his toxic ideology and to celebrate the Nazis numerous, notorious atrocities. The BBC would elaborate on the nature of militias like Azov, who are undoubtedly the recipients of US, British, and other NATO member states aid, cash, and political support, in its article, Ukraine conflict: White power warrior from Sweden. In it, it profiles a member of Azov Battalion, Mikael Skillt, and states: Dismissed by the West as Russian propaganda, it is clear that even the most Western media outlets cannot report on the Ukrainian conflict without coming across literal Nazis fighting for Kiev and operating in civilian areas in eastern Ukraine. The BBC would admit the Azov Battalion is far from a fringe group and was raised by the Ukrainian Interior Ministry itself. When NATO members announce aid to the regime in Kiev, they are also, by default, announcing aid to literal Neo-Nazi militant groups raised by Kievs Interior Ministry, like the Azov Battalion. Using Humanitarian Concerns to Provoke War It was in 2011 that the US, UK, NATO, and its regional partners carried out a coordinated propaganda campaign including the fabrication of atrocities to justify the military invasion of Libya and Syria. It would later turn out that the civilians the Libyan and Syrian governments were fighting were in fact heavily armed terrorists hailing from Al Qaeda. The deceit in Libya unraveled but not before NATO began military operations in support of these terrorists. In Syria, the deception was exposed and attempts by the West to intervene directly have thus far failed. Conversely, in Ukraine, the West is backing literal Nazis who are admittedly mass murdering civilians in eastern Ukraine, in an attempt to intentionally provoke Russia into war. On one hand, humanitarian catastrophes are fabricated by the West to justify its own military interventions, while on the other, real humanitarian catastrophes are created to provoke military action from the Wests enemies. While the NYT notes that Russia has thus far not taken the bait, experts it interviewed for its story claim such patience is not likely to last. In reality, Moscow has weighed its strengths, weaknesses, and the strategic lay of not only Ukraine, but the region and the world, and has made the decision that will, in the long-term based on reason, produce the best outcome for Russia, the Russian people, and its compatriots beyond its borders. While the West continues its attempts to manipulate the public and the political circles intersecting amid the Ukrainian crisis, Moscow has already proven it will not take the bait unless it is sure it can swallow the fisherman as well.

1	Yearning with breathless anticipation to learn more about the hugely influential band, documentary viewer Jeremy Rosen told reporters Wednesday that he could not wait to find out which four lads from Liverpool had changed the face of music forever. Wow, apparently all of these guys rose from humble beginnings in England to take the sixties by storm, said Rosen, as black-and-white photographs of the Liverpool Cavern Club and Mathew Street appeared on the screen while the documentarys narrator revealed that few would suspect a quartet of English schoolboys with Rickenbackers would come to define an era. Even though they started out as just some teenagers with mop tops, it sounds like they actually went on to reach dizzying heights of fame and commercial success. Man, I wish theyd just hurry up and tell me their names. At press time, an intrigued Rosen reportedly leaned in closer to his television as Ed Sullivan prepared to introduce the unknown foursome. 
1	In an effort to provide relief from the burden of high-interest monthly payments, a new law will forgive college graduates federal student loan debt once all their dreams have been shattered, sources confirmed Thursday. Instead of spending decades weighed down by their loans, borrowers will now qualify to have those obligations wiped away the moment they completely abandon every aspiration theyve ever had for their adult life, said Department of Education spokesperson Jill Moore, adding that all outstanding loan principal and accumulated interest could be immediately discharged simply by logging onto the departments website and confirming that no shred of hope for the future remained. If youve given up completely because the post-graduate world has thwarted every attempt youve made to achieve even one of your professional goals, you should definitely consider this program. Moore went on to say that the sooner borrowers threw away their dreams, the sooner they could take advantage of the new policy. 
1	Saying his campaign has 'really dodged a bullet so far,' Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told reporters today that, much to his relief, no one has asked his opinion on interracial marriage. 'No question about it, what I'd have to say about the topic would absolutely terrify anyone with a conscience,' said Santorum, adding that his longstanding and carefully thought-through views on whether two individuals of different races should be allowed to marry would put him so far out of the mainstream that itd be 'hilarious how insane [he]d sound.' 'The truth is, if anyone decided to ask me flat out if I approve of marriages between black men and white women, for example, the flood gates would open and the bile I would spew would sink this campaign in 10 seconds tops.' As of press time, reports of Santorum's mere reference to his incendiary views had caused his favorability ratings in Alabama and Mississippi to skyrocket. 
2	BREAKING: Obama And Hillary Sued In Federal Court For Aiding The ISIS Over the past few years, it has become increasingly clear that President Obama does not care about violating the law to his fuel his own agenda. Now, a report from WND says that President Obama and his administration are being called into account for supporting the terrorists attacking Israel. According to reports, Larry Klayman has filed a lawsuit against Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The lawsuit alleges that the group support individuals Hamas financially, knowing that some of the support would be used to fund attacks Americas ally, Israel. It claims that the Obama and his senior administration officials conspired to fund the radical Islamic terrorists under the false pretext that this financial support will be used for humanitarian purposes. Klayman has sued for $1.5 billion in compensatory damages as well as punitive damages. The White House had not yet responded to requests for comment. What do you think? Does Obama need to be impeached immediately? 
1	In an unexpected turn of events, Aunt Trisha announced Thursday that her son Mark is actually coming to Thanksgiving dinner after all, confirming that the 29-year-old can definitely make it now. I guess he doesnt have to take that holiday shift, said Aunt Trisha shortly after receiving a brief telephone call from Mark. I just checked and hell probably get here right about when we start. So we can set an extra plate. Its a shame Todd cant make it, too. At press time, sources were unable to corroborate reports that cousin Mark was bringing his girlfriend, Stephanie, but had confirmed numerous rumors that he was stopping at the liquor store on his way over. 
1	Grateful for the veteran insight into the hotel accommodations and surrounding attractions, new arrivals to the Flamingo Hotel and Villas reportedly received indispensable advice Friday from a wise couple who had already been at the resort for three days. Theyve got the complimentary breakfast until 9, but if you get there past 8, youre probably not going to get a table, said guest Brenda Stovall, who, along with her husband, Doug, drew on 72 hours of residency at the resort to impart crucial information regarding the pools alcoholic beverage policy and the location of the scuba gear rental. But Id skip the zip-lining excursion. It took us an hour and a half to get there, and the shuttle wasnt even air-conditioned. At press time, the Stovalls had checked out of the resort, leaving newcomers with no choice but to somehow fend for themselves. 
2	HAPPENING NOW: Putin Wages Nuclear War On Turkey After They Did THIS The Turkish military quickly escalated tensions in Syria when they shot down a Russian warplane. Turkey claims that two of their F-16s shot down a Russian Su-24 attack aircraft after it repeatedly violated Turkish airspace. The military claims that they issued 10 warnings in five minutes before taking action and shooting. Contrastingly, Russias defense ministry denies that the warplane ever entered Turkeys airspace, although NATO defense officials confirmed that the jet did briefly enter the airspace. As we have repeatedly made clear, we stand in solidarity with Turkey and support the territorial integrity of our NATO ally, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an emergency meeting. Now, the chances that Putin launches a nuclear war over the incident are very likely, according to Russian military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer. Felegenhauer believes that the downing of the Russian jet will prompt Moscow to either accept the zone or start a war with Turkey. It is most likely that it will be war, Felgenhauer concluded. In other words, more fights will follow when Russian planes attack Turkish aircraft in order to protect our bombers. It is possible that there will be fights between the Russian and Turkish navies at sea. What do you think? Was Turkey in the wrong to shoot down the plane? Will Russia declare war? 
2	Nasty Whoopi Meets Brutal Justice After Slandering Donald Trump For some ridiculous reason, liberals have been using Donalds Trump use of social media as an argument that he is somehow unfit to be President. This conversation was continued on The View when Whoopi Goldberg criticized the president-elect for his Twitter habits. Goldberg went on about the fact that Trump tweeted to speak out against Saturday Night Lives portrayal of himfollowing a sketch that portrayed him as being too obsessed with tweeting to focus on policy. This week, Mediate reported that Trump only uses social media to combat the mainstream medias twisted portrayal of him. Clearly, the talk show host wasnt satisfied with this perfectly logical answer. Donald, you need to pay attention to some other things, Whoopi commented. People have questions about their taxes and how theyre going to go up, how the middle class is getting a 2 percent cut in their taxes yet the people who are really, really wealthy are getting a 15 percent cut. Thats something you could be tweeting about. You could be tweeting about the fact that if youre someone who is a single parent with 2 or 3 kids, your taxes are going up. Stay off Twitter and do your job now, she concluded. What do you think? Is it time for Whoopi to leave the country like she promised she would if Trump got elected? 
1	According to the latest information provided by the unnamed, impossibly debonair-sounding European man who is now answering all of her calls, your ex-girlfriend, Rebecca Norsten, 'don't want to speak to you no more.' The new policy of non-communication, not elaborated upon by Norsten herself, was announced during a phone call to her apartment early Monday morning in the suave, confident tones of an Italian or possibly Portuguese individual of indeterminate height and muscle tone. Phone records indicate the statement was made at 9:35 a.m.approximately one hour and 25 minutes too early for the speaker to have been a platonic visitor who did not spend all last night giving the love of your life everything you never could. 'Rebecca is no coming to the phone, my friend,' reported the exotic-sounding stranger, who rolled his R's in a manner that strongly suggested he can outperform you sexually. 'I am condolence for you, but what is to be done? There are many fishes, yes?' The probable Mediterranean sex god concluded the statement by saying 'ciao,' after which it can be assumed he returned to his previous task of hand-feeding your ex-girlfriend slices of juicy mango while she reclined naked in a hammock, finally free from the burden of dating you. Although no answers have been provided to your flabbergasted stutterings following the announcement, 17 hours of careful overanalysis did uncover several new, emasculating details from within the one-and-a-half-minute conversation. It is now believed that the olive-skinned baron and multiple- vineyard owner who relayed the message is currently living with and possibly married to the woman you once tried to impress by wearing a belt. Ex-girlfriend You have also been able to deduce, without the aid of visual confirmation, that Norsten's new European boyfriend was dressed in flowing white linen pants and rustic kidskin loafers, and is, at this very moment, slowly consuming a perfectly ripened orange. 'It must be really hard for her to talk so soon after we broke up,' you have repeatedly told yourself to drown out images of the black-haired Adonis laying your ex-girlfriend upon a bed of imported silk cushions, removing a string of freshly killed quails from around his broad shoulders, and riding your beloved Becky like she was the last boat to America. 'I'm sure this guy, whoever he is, is just a one-time thing. She'll probably explain everything next time we talk.' The announcement that communication would cease immediately came as a shock to everyone whom Norsten had previously promised to 'love forever and ever.' The 24-year-old Notre Dame graduate was your girlfriend from November 2007 to May 2008, and in that time made no mention of plans to visit Europe and had no European friends or coworkers. Upon closer recollection, however, it has been noted that Norsten once watched the entirety of Once Upon A Time In Mexico with you, more than twice commenting on actor Antonio Banderas' 'sexy accent.' As of press time, it is unclear how you could have been so foolish. 
1	Expressing their sympathy for the difficult and humiliating situation he was currently enduring, passengers seated in Terminal B of Denver International Airport told reporters Friday how sorry they felt for a flustered toddler who was traveling with two loud, obnoxious parents. It must be so awful to have to fly with such irritable, whiny parents who throw a fit over every little thing, California woman Jessica Henson said as the visibly overwhelmed 2-year-old looked on in mortification as his mother made a scene over the cost of checking additional bags. If I had to deal with that level of hassle and embarrassment I would just stay home. He must have some real patience to put up with screaming outbursts like that. At press time, passengers confirmed that the child was able to enjoy a brief respite when his parents calmed down to stare at their iPads after putting on one of their favorite episodes of CSI: Miami. 
2	Megyn Kelly Learns Her Fate After Berating Donald Trump Throughout His Campaign Megyn Kelly has spent the last week promoting her new memoir, entitled Settle For More. Unfortunately for her, the book is not being met with a warm welcome, after her months of relentlessly attacking Donald Trump. The Amazon page for Kellys book has been overwhelmed with negative reviewssure to impact sales for the worse. This comes as little surprise. Kelly has spent the past year alienating millions of Fox News viewers in transparent attempts to appeal to mainstream audiences. This clearly backfired on her when Trump became our nations president-elect. Kelly was likely aware that this would impact her sales. After Trump won, Kelly went back and added a chapter detailing the sexual harassment she suffered at the hands of former CEO Roger Ailes. What do you think? Would you read Kellys book?

'I was waiting in line when this smart-aleck teen walked right in front of me,' said shopper Ida Sims, 43. 'I complained to the check-out girl, but she just said, 'I honestly don't care who I take next.' What kind of answer is that?' If Safeway authorities do not punish Kile for failing to preserve the integrity of her line, Sims said she will gladly take her business to the IGA on Brook Street. 
2	What Ferguson Rioters Are Threatening To Do Next Unless We Give Them THIS According to recent reports, business owners in the St. Louis area have started boarding up in preparation for the grand jurys decision on the fate of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown in August. Allegedly, the Ferguson protesters already have plans to shut down the nearby community of Clayton using civil disobedience. Their intention is to hurt Clayton economically if criminal charges are not brought against Officer Wilson. The town is expected hundreds, if not thousands, of people to show up on that day. We want the people to know these meetings are about non-violence direct action, said Michael McPhearson, chair of the Dont Shoot Coalition. Theres nothing were doing to try to create violence. We dont want to diminish tension without there being change. According to the governor of Missouri, nearly one thousand police officers have undergone special treatment to prepare for the announcement. 
2	Donald Trump Just Cost Himself The Nomination By Doing THIS Donald Trump is leading the polls for the Republican nomination, and its unlikely that anyone will top him. However, recent news of his announcement on who his running mate will be might have put his nomination in jeopardy. In New Hampshire, Trump announced that he would like Massachusetts senator Scott Brown as his running mate. He didnt give him a direct invitation, but said that he would be a very good vice president. (Source: The Hill) Vice president hey, that sounds like it could, hey, hey, very good, Trump said. Hey, you know what? And hes central casting. Look at that guy. Central casting, he continued. Hes great. Great guy and a great, beautiful, great wife and family. So important. This hasnt been the first man that Trump said would be a good running mate. Its hard to know if hes being serious. Many Donald Trump supporters are infuriated that he would even consider running with this RINO. Will you still vote for Trump if he runs with Brown? 
2	Jeb Bush Takes Trump Head On After Miraculous Jump In Polls, You Wont Believe How Jeb Bush has just taken off the most recent polls. He is sitting in third place, close behind Sen. Marco Rubio. What we dont understand is, how is this possible? Where is his support coming from? Apparently 10.6% are proud supporters. In the past week, Bush has jumped as massive 3 points. Trump continues to lead at a comfortable 39%, although he is slowly losing traction. It would truly take a miracle for someone to overtake him. But as controversial as he is, one horrible move could be the end of him. If Jeb Bush won the nomination, the future would look bleak against the strong support Hillary has. We need Trump to win this election. Who do you support? Trump or Bush?

2	BREAKING: See Why Obama May Be Impeached... THIS WEEK Many of us are getting ready to enjoy the long weekend, but very few Americans know that this week also marks something else: National Impeach Obama Week. In an unofficial campaign that attempts to make the peoples voice heard, Americans are calling for the impeachment of Obama. The Washington Post calls the event the hardcore of the hardcore and criticizes the organizers for holding on to this cause. The protest is a taking place over a nine-day period between August 23rd and August 31st. Below is a statement from the organizations website: The protest theme is to impeach and remove Obama from office for the following reasons. Gerald Ford said in the 1970s that an impeachable offense is whatever the Congress will vote for at a given time. We are not here to bicker about what is impeachable, but to demand that this lawless, subversive and anti-American president be removed from office. We hold, however, that Obama is, in fact, criminal and treasonous. He and his collaborators are a grave threat to our representative constitutional republic. 
1	Saying they had [their] hearts set on the venue, engaged couple Tamara Hunter and David Bryant expressed disappointment to reporters Monday upon learning the headquarters of the Defense Department currently has an eight-month waiting list for weddings. We figured there would be a lot of other couples trying to book the Pentagon for their wedding, but we had no idea wed have to reserve it so far in advance, said Hunter, voicing regret and frustration that she hadnt acted sooner to realize her vision of an intimate marriage ceremony officiated by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in the military office complexs 5-acre central plaza. I guess we should have known wed never get in there for a May weddingafter all, its every little girls dream to have her special day in a 6.5-million-square-foot defense facility. Hunter added that she and her fianc were now considering both the deck of the USS Theodore Roosevelt and Bagram Airfield, but stated that these second-choice locations just didnt feel right. 
1	Pushing themselves to their mental limits as they plumbed the deepest recesses of their brains for suitable topics to discuss, coworkers Stephen Jones and Alan Madigan, who unexpectedly ran into one another on the subway Friday morning, each reportedly exerted a herculean level of effort to sustain their conversation for the entire 25-minute commute into work. Barbara mentioned that we might be getting a new coffeemaker, said Madigan to his colleague, as both expended near-superhuman amounts of psychological energy to recall any common interest or shared workplace experience that they could talk over with the other until arriving at their downtown office. I thought the old one was fine. Yeah, so do you have any plans for the weekend? After a seemingly interminable period of mentally strenuous back-and-forth, the pair reportedly struck on complaining about their other officemates, allowing them to keep the conversation moving along effortlessly for the remaining 11 minutes of the train ride. 
1	Singer-songwriter Bob Dylans posthumously recorded 35th studio album Tempest, released Sept. 10, has been enjoying widespread acclaim from top music critics across the country, with many praising the late Dylans largely undiminished songwriting skills. While he may never again match the series of masterworks he recorded in the 60s and 70s, when he was alive, Dylan has entered a true late-career renaissance since passing away, Chicago Tribune music critic Greg Kot wrote in his review of the fourth album Dylan has recorded since his death in 2005. Dying has lent his voice a certain rough yet poignant gravitas. One can clearly hear how the dead tissue in his vocal cords has deteriorated to the point where theres almost nothing left. Nothing, that is, except the genius of a master songwriter still in full command of his powers, even seven years after expiring. While critics have almost unanimously found Dylan himself to be in fine form on the new album, a number of reviews have criticized the playing of his backing band as lifeless. 
3	The Fight to Control the Global ClimateIf we could experiment with the atmosphere and literally play God, its very tempting to a scientist. The idea that there are government programs to alter the climate is still roundly denied by certain circles, despite numerous White Papers from think tanks, official documents admitting to climate control plans, and many public admissions from scientists and politicians alike. However, geoengineering is officially entering the mainstream, but with the spin that was warned about by many in the alternative media and non-establishment scientists. A new report from The Verge one of the top 1,000 most visited websites in the world is worth examining for its open discussion of some of the geoengineering plans and their associated spins and pitfalls. Also posted below is my article from early 2011 that covers a question asked by the UKs elite think-tank, The Royal Society, Who decides? As youll see, the question of who should be responsible for fixing our presumably broken climate is only intensifying. The good news for those who have long attempted to expose the existence of geoengineering is that we are finally over that hurdle of denial for anyone with open eyes and an open mind. In fact, as Derrick Broze recently covered, geoengineering research is not only allowed, it is encouraged in international law. This has led to a new study which phrases the global race towards geoengineering as a free for all, where many treaties open the door for a global framework to address not only the possible dangers of geoengineering itself, but also the danger of leaving the power in the hands of local governments to test and impose their own solutions. According to a recent congressional report: The term geoengineering describes this array of technologies that aim, through large-scale and deliberate modifications of the Earths energy balance, to reduce temperatures and counteract anthropogenic climate change. Most of these technologies are at the conceptual and research stages, and their effectiveness at reducing global temperatures has yet to be proven. Moreover, very few studies have been published that document the cost, environmental effects, socio-political impacts, and legal implications of geoengineering. If geoengineering technologies were to be deployed, they are expected to have the potential to cause significant transboundary effects. (Source) As Broze highlights, the complete study is set to be published in the Journal of Energy, Climate and the Environment around the same time that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change presents its Fifth Assessment Report in 2014. The Verge titled their article, Weather wars: who should be allowed to engineer our climate? which has the subtitle, Geoengineering could be the silver bullet in fighting climate change or the start of something even worse. When they say war, they mean it literally that is, if geoengineerings leading proponent is correct. Harvard climate scientist, David Keith, likens geoengineering to nuclear weapons and the subsequent race to acquire the technology. The threats are both global and personal Keith, who has grown into geoengineerings leading advocate after his recent book on the topic, says the technology would be as disruptive to the political order of the 21st century as nuclear weapons were for the 20th. Its an exciting, dangerous idea and it already has its opponents. In the years that hes been researching geoengineering, Keith says hes received two death threats serious enough to warrant calls to the police. The frenzy to find a solution for an assumed case-closed on runaway global warming is leading to a dangerous all-or-nothing mindset which may see the same type of testing without full knowledge of the consequences. Scientists were said to have not been 100% certain they wouldnt ignite a chain reaction and kill the planet during weapons testing. Notice here the foregone conclusion of global warming, despite plenty of opposing views in the scientific community, plus the admission of aerial spraying and the fear of a rogue nation . In a world of catastrophic global warming, solar radiation management might be our only way to cool the planet and forestall the most damaging effects of climate change. The theory is simple: a plane sprays sulfate aerosols into the atmosphere, building a reflective layer that blocks a small portion of the suns energy, thus cooling the globe. Theres plenty of support for the theory, including a few sulfate-spewing volcanoes which have cooled the globe in the past (maybe just let them continue to do their work then? Ed.), but its still unclear how it would work in practice. Its generally accepted that the sulfates would disappear from the atmosphere within a few years, but more complex effects remain unknown. Most geoengineers think the technology should be used for a kind of soft landing as we phase out fossil fuels but what if a country wanted to go further? The process is cheap enough that an island country like the Maldives, facing dire consequences from rising sea levels, might decide to kick off aggressive geoengineering on their own, daring other countries to stop them. The response would start with diplomacy, but it could escalate to the US shooting down their sulfur-spewing planes. The next step is to test the idea in the atmosphere with small drops over the course of a few days, but that proposal is still extremely controversial. Its easy to see why critics are nervous. In the wrong hands, solar radiation management has the potential to destroy the planets ecosystem entirely.(emphasis added) [Source] The full article is a must-read, as it articulates the fear-based mindset that scientists and politicians either unwillingly or willingly delude themselves with, along with the rest of us. In a race to eliminate a threat, they create vastly more with their tinkering and unknowable outcomes. In pursuit of the rogue nation, the nation that reaches the target becomes the rogue itself. The article below was my attempt to show why those who are currently at the helm should be held with the utmost suspicion as potential saviors of the human race their track record is not a good one. Your comments are welcome. On a secluded estate in England, a small group from the elite UK think-tank, The Royal Society, are openly discussing control over the planets weather. The Orwellian nature of the discussion is stunning, as this select group seemingly wrings their hands over how to delegate the proper authority to research such godlike power. They begin by asking a rhetorical question, Who decides? In a candid AP story, the entire agenda is laid bare as we are treated to a session that is generally off the record. This is the grand rollout to be sure: from research to implementation, they announce much of what is already provably in the works, as well as the road toward a future of unthinkable control by an inner circle of ideologues with the task to save the planet. History is full of these great experts who have taken on the burden of saving the rest of us. Elites throughout the ages have insisted that the common man or woman is simply not up to the task . . . if left to our own devices, we might just destroy the place. So, lets first recap how these elite thinkers have done so far based on the key indicators of human prosperity. Peace: The peace process is apparently a long one. Since the War To End All Wars, there has been a steady string of significant wars, protracted conflicts, or kinetic actions. The central planners have failed fantastically when it comes to peace, and there is no sign of this trend reversing, as it openly has been announced that a Nobel Peace Prize can be given to the leader of the free world who has extended and declared wars that are unconstitutional and morally reprehensible. Rather, events are demonstrably leading straight to World War III. It seems like we would be better off without the humanitarian aid offered by such peaceniks. Freedom: The Map of Freedom shows most of the global population living under some form of authoritarian control, especially when North America is evaluated honestly. Just about all of the rest lives under Democracy, which is nothing more than the soft version where two wolves and a sheep meet to decide what is for dinner. This is the globalist model, which prefers centralized control and a curtailing of individual freedom by mafia or mob rule, resulting in the sucking of all wealth and power toward a top ruling class. As Louis Brandeis, former Supreme Court Justice said, We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we cant have both. Countries with a true free market of ideas and commerce are few and far between. Economy: The model of centralized elite banking management has been an abject failure. All central banks in history that have used fiat money most of which financed both sides of wars have failed in that they have bankrupted their nations and only have enriched those in control. The current exposure of the U.S. Federal Reserve is finally reaching a crescendo, but our managers are already a step ahead discussing the endgame of a one-world currency to solve the inadequacies of the past. I think we have had enough examples of their central planning skills. Health: Between the EPA, FDA, and USDA just to cite U.S. agencies our elite researchers, scientists, and policy makers have been responsible for millions of deaths, conservatively. And it is only getting worse, as this global health tyranny aims to criminalize the food and supplements that are actually proven to extend our lives. The key poisons they enable include: mercury, aspartame, MSG, (most) vaccines, and GMOs; all proven to reduce cognition, bodily health, and life expectancy. Environment: Fukushima is only the latest in a long history of corporate/government mismanagement with global consequences. Experts claiming to show the benefits and safety of their advice continuously bombard us. Yet, our planet has now endured multiple nuclear meltdowns, oil spills, fracking-induced earthquakes, and global fallout from wars using depleted uranium all of which have contaminated Earth and poisoned future generations beyond imagining. The only success these elites can document is the mass killing by dictators like Genghis Khan, Mao, Hitler, and Stalin who eliminated a conservative total of over 100 million people, thus reducing CO2. Well done if you are a nihilist. With such a track record of desolation for all but the top directors, we had best pay attention to their own words about what direction they have in store for us next. Most alarming about this semi-clandestine meeting is that the very premise upon which they base this need for global orchestration Global Warming has been thoroughly debunked by any climatologist not beholden to a government-sponsored think tank or agency. Their famously cited Plan B for inevitable climate change is nothing more than a wish list for those who wish to de-industrialize productive nations and consolidate control through wealth redistribution. Not a good way to start saving people. With lies as the basis for what is to follow, we continue along our Orwellian path set forth by scientists and scholars toward a comprehensive new vision for the future which was framed by this elite roundtable normally hidden from public view, but brought to us by the Associated Propaganda news agency: Provoking and parrying each other over questions never before raised in human history, the conferees were sensitive to how the outside world might react. Science: If we could experiment with the atmosphere and literally play God, its very tempting to a scientist, Kenyan earth scientist Richard Odingo. Well, we can give points for honesty here, but are we really to believe that this experimentation has not already begun? Their own words and observable facts prove otherwise. The top contender for geoengineering on a planetary scale, according to the panel, is stratospheric aerosol particles. In what sounds a whole lot like tin-foil hat conspiracy Chemtrails, these particles would be sun-reflecting sulfates spewed into the lower stratosphere from aircraft, balloons or other devices. The current evidence for such activity has already been exhaustively documented by researchers and popularized by films such as What In The World Are They Spraying? The panel actually calls this technique Sun Radiation Management (SRM). The problem with management is that managers are then necessary; and the ones that have been appointed should not be to our liking. Law: These scenarios create winners and losers . . . Who is going to decide? John Shepherd of Britains Southhampton University, lead author of a 2009 Royal Society study of geoengineering. The think tank warns that a coalition of scientifically capable nations should set world direction led of course by the U.S. and Britain, two of the most egregious abusers of the planet perhaps inviting China, India, Brazil and others . . . But when in doubt just invoke the U.N to convince the masses that, Many environmentalists categorically oppose intentional fiddling with Earths atmosphere, or at least insist that such important decisions rest in the hands of the U.N., since every nation on Earth has a stake in the skies above. The United Nations; world police force and repository of incremental global control. Politics: One of the challenges is identifying intentions, one of which could be offensive military use. Indian development specialist Arunabha Ghosh referring to weather modification. If the weather can truly be controlled, then one can surmise that we are entering a future of weather wars. And, yet, this already has been addressed in key white papers such as Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning The Weather By 2025.Perhaps the real concern is similar to that of all WMDs to be sure that only the ruling elite can use them, while anyone who opposes or retaliates is marked with the cattle brand of terrorist. Philosophy: Theres the slippery slope view that as soon as you start to do this research, you say its OK to think about things you shouldnt be thinking about. Steve Rayner, co-director of Oxford Universitys geoengineering program. The philosophy of thinking the unthinkable always has been trumpeted as a necessary contingency plan to protect the masses from lone nuts and rogue governments when, in reality, it is the justification for what already has been engineered by psychopaths and sociopaths in positions of power within dominant governments and by their think-tank minions. It is their hatred for the masses and subsequent policies that lead to what normal people call unthinkable scenarios. Conclusion: Im queasy about some billionaire with a messiah complex having a major role in geoengineering research, Clive Hamilton, Australian economist-ethicist. It takes a lot more than a few billion dollars to orchestrate weather control, just as flight-school flunkies with box cutters, or a white supremacist in Oklahoma with a store-bought truck bomb cannot orchestrate large-scale terrorism. For a real messiah complex with money to back it, one needs a government sponsor. This is misdirection right from the playbook . . . and that should make us queasy. Naturally, All discussions lead to the central theme of how to oversee research. There it is: more control. This control is hidden by our overseers in their worry that this new capability will lead to a Geoengineering Industrial Complex. It is a pathetic echo of Eisenhowers famous speech warning of a Military Industrial Complex. This is not a worry at all, as we are getting the message straight from The Four Horsemens mouth. These days such worries are not issued as a dire broadcast of the threat to individual liberty; they are sibilant whispers to a mainstream media peddling the message that only the eradication of individual liberty can save us all.

2	Lady Gaga Makes Disgusting Move To Undermine Trumps Inauguration... She Will Pay Big For This This week, as Donald Trump gets ready to take the White House, weve seen a ridiculously emotional display from celebrities like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Madonna and Katy Perry. All seemed to be encouraging Americans not to give up, and some were even brought to tears. Cher, on the other hand, joined NYC protestors who were chanting against the President-elect. Walked out hotel in2 New Yorkers. They were loud proud that Americans have right 2yell how they feel. Hugged many..They have spirit, she tweeted. Earlier in Trumps campaign, Cher said she would move to Jupiter if Trump was elected. World will never be the same, she tweeted. I feel sad for the young. Lady Gaga also participated in protests, showing up at Trump Tower early on Wednesday with a sign Love trumps hate. I want to live in a #CountryOfKindness #LoveTrumpsHate, she wrote. He divided us so carelessly. Lets take care now of each other. This blatant disrespect is not surprising, giving how many of these celebrities invested their support in the criminal Clinton. What do you think? Do celebrities need to face the reality that Trump is our next president, whether they like it or not?

3	City Had to Stop Arresting Actual Criminals Because They Filled Up Jail with Non-violent OffendersBy Justin Gardner Missouris third-largest city has lost almost half a million dollars in less than a year from unpaid fines and fees. These lost extortion fees are likely the biggest concern to city officials. Springfield Police Chief Paul Williams said offenders are thumbing their noses at police. Theyre tearing tickets up in front of people, Williams said. Officers are frustrated because they cant arrest anyone, judges are frustrated that they cant see people, prosecutors are frustrated. It has just kind of spun out of control. Springfields citizens are taking advantage of the problem. One judge said that 82 people were supposed to appear in court under a docket of cases, but only eight bothered to show up. There has been no significant difference in crime rate beyond normal fluctuation, and the city acknowledges that it cant tell if the lack of arrests has any effect. The situation is causing quite the kerfuffle between Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott and city officials. Last April, Arnott said he would not take any more municipal prisoners, even though the city says there was an agreement that the jail, which opened in 2001, would take them. However, Arnott is taking federal inmates despite the full capacity. The county gets paid $61 per day for each federal inmate, while the city does not pay anything to the county for housing inmates. It seems that the nature of the American for-profit prison-industrial complex is at the heart of this dispute. The sheriff is fine with taking prisoners when he makes a profit, but turns them away if there is no money involved. Its not really about right and wrong, but about feeding the profits of the jail system. The city of Springfield and Sheriff Arnott have filed lawsuits against each other. It has gotten so bad that Springfield Mayor Bob Stevens on Tuesday blamed the sheriff for an incident where a man with outstanding warrants hit a police officer and dragged him 150 yards. While it is entertaining to see law enforcement authorities casting fallacies at each other, the issue in Springfield is a symptom of the malady of mass incarceration. Law enforcement is hungry to lock up people for victimless crimes such as traffic violations and offenses under the War on Drugs. This demand for prisoners feeds a system where profits are reaped off the backs of mostly poor- to middle-class citizens, extorting money at every turn, from going to jail to getting out on bail to being monitored on probation. It creates an incentive for cops to intrude on the lives of more and more people, so they can justify an ever-expanding quest for more equipment and training to carry out more oppression. Instead of fighting each other to make way for more prisoners, Springfield and every other city should consider that making people into criminals for victimless crimes is not the answer. A simple and instant solution to end the over crowding of prisons is this End the War on Drugs. Even cops know ending the War on Drugs will not only fix the prison overpopulation problem, but it would dramatically reduce crime. One of the leading groups of law enforcers working to end the drug war is LEAP, or Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. LEAP lists some particularly startling facts on their website: One of the co-founding members of LEAP is former police Captain, Peter Christ. Christ travels around the country blowing the lid off of Americas corrupt and immoral war. His argument is based on facts and grounded in reality. The War on Drugs promotes violence, ruins lives, and costs taxpayers billions of dollars a year. Below is quite possibly one of the most damning 15 minutes presented against the drug war. Please share this article to raise awareness to the horrid reality that is the War on Drugs. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. What do you expect when almost everyday things people do get blown out of proportion by overzealous cops and laws that will soon make breathing illegal? Ever heard of ticket quotas? They deny this, and rightfully so. That doesnt exist. What the authorities wont tell you is the police are held to performance quotas. I know, big difference, right? The every day cops raises depend on their performance which puts money in the citys/countys/states coffers. This is why your grandma gets stopped for doing 49 in a 45 plus a ticket because her insurance card is 7 days expired(and no previous accidents or infractions). Good money for the entities and a potential pay raise for the cop. Meanwhile, the county judge and businessman driving blind drunk and in a minor accident get an escort home. This is why people are pissed. Im glad the majority has finally awakened. Dont be surprised when they build a prison in your county for a private corporation. Maybe we can hold hands. America, the great mismanagement. I got to sleep on the floor overnight in our deliberately overcrowded county jail. I was in for redressing a grievance in our district court. I was not taken before the available judge but our female associate also arrested was. She reports that two people arrested and brought in right before us for assault with weapons were cited and released due to overcrowding. Have to have room to make prisoners of the poor and political. Would love to hear your story, Berry All are welcome to contact me at my screen name on yahoo. This wouldnt be occurring had the 18th-century founders (like their 17th-century Christian Colonial forbears) established government and society on Yahwehs unchanging moral law. Under biblical government, prisons are superfluous. Convicted capital criminals are put to death expeditiously, per Ecclesiastes 8:11. Non-capital criminals are required to pay two to five times restitution (depending on the nature of their crime) to their VICTIMS, per Exodus 22:1, etc. If a thief is unable to pay the required restitution, hes sold into indentured servitude until his restitution is paid, per Exodus 22:3. If he refuses to pay the required restitution, his contempt of court is a capital crime for which hes to be put to death expeditiously, per Deuteronomy 17:9-13. Under such a juridical system, tax-paid-for prisons and all of their inherent problems are superfluous and crime is all but unheard of. Perfect, just like King David depicted it in Psalm 19:7-11. For more on how Yahwehs moral law applies today, google free online book :Law and Kingdom: Their relevance Under the New Covenant. Or maybe Sharia law, that works too and comes from the same God too. There you go again proving the inspiration and veracity of the Bible, particularly 1 Corinthians 2:12-14. Oh thats rich 1 Corinthians 2:12-14 simply states that unbelievers will disagree with your bullshit. Not a difficult prediction to get right. Now I understand why you didnt explain what it said when I asked you too. Gods law, as administered through Christians in the early colonies, WAS THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND for 167 prior to the CONstitutional CONvention. It is foolish to equate Sharia with the perfect statutes, judgments, commandments and laws of God. Sorry Ethan but Im sane and was not indoctrinated as a child so I dont suffer from having an imaginary playmate in the sky and so I have zero reason to believe in your god or his perfect law. Oh. Youre one of those. Well, there is forgiveness from sin, eternal life, and life abundant in Christ, for those who quit being there own god, and come to the Creator of heaven and earth for mercy through the Cross. Yup, Im one of those ie Im sane and was not indoctrinated as a child Sorry about that that but you missed your chance to do your traditional child abuse on me. James 3.15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. Acts 13.10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of ? II Corinthians 11.3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in the Messiah. Go and fight over whos God is correct with another insane believer like a Muslim. You both worship the same demon after all. You neither understand either said Faiths, why dont you instead at least have a TAD bit of education before spouting nonsense from that idiot mouth of yours. Blessed is the man that trusteth in , and whose hope is. Oh no, it looks like Ive bothered a Tribe member (not many others would use a Hebrew word as if it was therefore necessarily wise). I doubt you are Israel, and the fact is youve neither the integrity nor drive to actually utilize the necessary tools needed to remove fiction from fact. I suggest you man up and only speak about things you have a certain knowledge of instead of believing fairy tales. The fear of is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. I didnt claim to be Israel (whatever that means) I said YOU were probably a Tribe member. You said Goyish Same thing. Then Explain totally all aspects of Granite. A word from my God to you: Ecclesiastes 10.1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. So thats what you mean by Yahwehs moral law. Convicted capital criminals are put to death expeditiously, non-capital criminals are required to pay two to five times restitution, If a thief is unable to pay the required restitution, hes sold into indentured servitude until his restitution is paid, if he refuses to pay the required restitution, his contempt of court is While this would be great in a theocracy where a prophet of God rules. Do you really think that would work without a the prophet of God in charge? You mingle scripture with a strange gospel. You dont preach the word of God, it is a strange gospel, indeed. This I agree with. Ted gives encouragement to the crusaders This article is the poster-child of why commerce should be eliminated from the equation of penalties for crimes. Im in favor of getting back to a system of governance based on the Bible (Geneva). The Tora didnt fail Israel. Israel failed the Tora and are still feeling the affects, as is this land since 1774, of 1Samuel 8.

3	Obama Announces Plan to Expedite Smart Gun TechnologyBy Joshua Krause Its actually quite impressive when you think about it. Every other line and amendment in the US Constitution has been violated into meaninglessness. Though the spirit of the Second Amendment has been violated as well, it hasnt been done to the same extent. Its the last domino that just wont fall, no matter how hard the gun grabbers blow. Since they cant pull off an outright ban, they have to constantly find alternative routes of gun control. They try to place onerous regulations on buying and selling firearms, they push extra taxes on ammunition, or they try to force gun owners to buy insurance for each gun. The list goes on and on. One of their alternatives to gun confiscation, is the smart gun. In case you dont know, a smart gun is a weapon that uses biometrics, fingerprints, RFID chips, or a magnetic device to determine if the person holding the gun is the rightful owner. If someone else handles the gun, it wont fire. This would presumably prevent the gun from being stolen by criminals or handled by children. This makes it the perfect Trojan horse for gun control, since a roll-out of these weapons (if you can even call these neutered toys weapons) be implemented under the guise of safety. The gun grabbers can make an appeal to our conscience and desires. Theyll say that we can have whatever gun we want, so long as it has smart gun technology to prevent it from falling into the hands of bad guys or unknowing children (as youll see in a moment, its a Faustian bargain). But first, theyll try to roll out this technology in increments, starting with law enforcement. Theyll say that we need smart guns to prevent criminals from killing cops with their own weapons. President Obama recently proposed a plan to create better smart guns for that exact purpose. However, this has nothing to do with the safety of law enforcement. The threat of a cop having his gun stolen by a suspect is a non-issue. Of all the hundreds of thousands of police officers in America, only 51 were killed when a perp overpowered them and took their weapon, between 2000 and 2010. So what is this really about? The government wants to normalize smart guns, so that they have more control over us. How does that give them more control? Because, when you have a firearm that is dependent on electronics to function, that firearm becomes hackable. It will be programmed with back doors that the government can exploit, just like computers and smartphones. In the future, smart guns will be designed so that government officials can shut them off remotely whenever they want. In fact, the first smart gun that can be remotely controlled by a bureaucrat was invented about two years ago. A new technology that could allow authorities and others to literally turn off guns by remote control has been patented. German arms maker Armatix GmbH has filed a patent for an improved smart pistol that can be shut down by a wireless signal. Preferably, the apparatus of the invention can be controlled remotely, for example via satellite and can send information to a satellite, the European patent application for the gun says. Thats the real endgame. At first it will be voluntary, but eventually theyll force you to buy smart guns. Its the best way to implement gun control without alarming gun owners, because with this technology they can trust anyone to have any gun, knowing that they can turn it off at any moment. Theyll try to trick the pro-gun crowd with promises of reduced regulations. Theyll let you buy fully automatics and other scary weapons, just so long as it is a smart gun. But if you take that deal, then one day youll wake up in a country filled with smart guns that you cant really own or control. Unfortunately for the gun grabbers, gun owners arent stupid enough to take that deal, are they? Image Credit Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

If the police get smart guns then hackers will hack them. Only the public will be required to have smart guns. Education vigilant push back on the legislation is needed here.

If the word has smart in front of it you know that = electronic straight jacket and virtual chipping.

Entire herds of cattle in the EU are chipped, TPTB tried that in the US beginning in the 90s but rural farmers and ranchers suspicious of mark of the beast motives pushed back hard. Thats probably why the US was the LAST developed nation to get chips in their credit and debit cards.

Except its not about intelligence. If smart guns are built then only the Law Abiding Citizen will be forced to obtain them. Not criminals, not police, not military. Thus, it will lead to them being able to consider the legitimate owners a liability and confiscate your weapons. Also, if you happen to use it in self defense, you can be easily found, charged, and convicted. ROFL! rectal probe..

3	Capital Controls Deployed Worldwide By Major Banks. Is It Too Late To Prosper?Jeff Berwick Weve covered the global trend towards capital controls in western nations, and we are unsurprised to announce the trend is only getting worse for savers. As weve predicted in the past (and been right), this will only get worse. Now the Central Bank of China has ordered its commercial banks to suspend cash transfers for three days and foreign currency conversions for nine days starting January 30. This during the Lunar New Year Holiday, a time usually busy for banks in China. The ban affects every commercial bank in China, and will cease domestic renminbi transfers from January 30 to February 2, and conversions of renminbi to foreign currency to February 7. Forbes published the following Important Notice, sent by Citigroup to its customers in China: Important Notice: 1. Due to the system maintenance of Peoples Bank of China, Domestic RMB Fund Transfer through Citibank (China) Online and Citi will be delayed during January 30th 2014, 16:00pm to February 2nd 2014, 18:30pm. As to the fund availability at the receiving bank, it depends on the processing requirements and turnaround time of the receiving bank. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. 2. During Spring Festival, Foreign Currency Transfer Transaction through Citibank (China) Online and Citi Mobile will be temporally not available from January 30, 2014 18:00pm to February 7, 2014 09:00am. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you have any enquiries, please reach us via our 24-hour banking hotline at 800-830-1880 or credit card hotline at 400-821-1880.

Whats likely is that Chinas policy is aimed at lessening the impact of a shockwave to be set-off by a default in Chinas multi-trillion dollar shadow banking system. HSBC has also recently implemented de facto capital controls on its customers. One HSBC customer, Stephen Cotton, was reduced to writing different amounts out on pieces of paper, until the bank agreed to an amount. So I wrote out a few slips, Cotton told BBC. I said, Can I have 5,000? They said no. I said, Can I have 4,000? They said no. And then I wrote one out for 3,000 and they said, OK, well give you that.' According to HSBC customers, they have been stopped from withdrawing large amounts of cash because they could not provide evidence of why they wanted it. In reality, the amounts are paltry. Mr. Cotton needed 7,000 from his instant access savings account in order to pay back a loan from his mother. Just one year ago he had no trouble withdrawing the same amount. But, he could only get the 3,000 out of his account. When he asked if he could back later in the day, the bank told him he could not do the same thing twice in one day. Mr. Cotton has been banking in that branch of HSBC bank for 28 years. They all know me in there. You shouldnt have to explain to your bank why you want that money. Its not theirs, its yours. And thats where hes wrong. The bank doesnt consider it his money. Another individual, Peter from Wiltshire, had a similar problem. Wanting to take out 10 000 cash from HSBC to pay to his sons and some to fund his long-haul travel plans, Peter rang the day before to give HSBC notice. Everything seemed fine until the next day Peter got a phone call from his local branch. They said they needed him to send the money via a bank payment and to provide booking receipits for his holidays. Another customer, Belinda Bell, was required to provide a builders quote before she could obtain her funds to pay him. HSBC said the policy change was to better serve their customers. We ask our customers about the purpose of large cash withdrawals when they are unusual and out of keeping with the normal running of their account. Since last November, in some instances we may have also asked these customers to show us evidence of what the cash is required for. The reason being we have an obligation to protect our customers, and to minimise the opportunity for financial crime. However, following feedback, we are immediately updating guidance to our customer facing staff to reiterate that it is not mandatory for customers to provide documentary evidence for large cash withdrawals, and on its own, failure to show evidence is not a reason to refuse a withdrawal. We are writing to apologise to any customer who has been given incorrect information and inconvenienced. Douglas Carswell, the Conservative MP for Clacton, said of the new HSBC policy: All these regulations which have been imposed on banks allow enormous interpretation. It basically infantilises the customer. In a sense your money becomes pocket money and the bank becomes your parent. Lloyds TSB, another major bank in the UK, recently suffered a glitch which kept customres from accessing their accounts. What is going on is known as a glitch for now, and perhaps as preemptive planning depending on who you ask, Zero Hedge reported on the issue. Sure, in a few months it may be called a bail-in (see Cyprus), but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. Time-and-time again we are covering capital controls being instituted.We shouldnt really take any credit for predicting these unfoldings. We were in good company, as the International Monetary Fund only recentlypublishedhow it anticipated your savings would be stolen.It doesnt matter if there was some government decree or not. All that matters is the facts on the ground. And the facts on the ground, from my perspective, are that people all over the world are having difficulties accessing their money. Hence, capital controls by stealth. Theyre here, and theyre very real. Where was your money when it was too late?

1	Solid Snake, tactical-espionage expert and star of PlayStation's 'Metal Gear Solid,' questioned the nature of the universe Monday when, moments after his 11th death in two hours, a cruel God forced him to 'Continue' his earthly toil and suffering. Solid Snake lies dead on the ground once again. 'Is this all there is?' asked Snake, hiding in a storage locker while two masked guards searched for him in the hold of a cargo ship. 'Is this why I was created? To suffer? Will I ever escape this endless loop of grueling labor followed by violent death?' Snake was then discovered by the guards and cut down in a hail of gunfire. Snake, who has been fatally shot 2,143 times in the past six months, said he does not know why God deems it necessary for him to endlessly repeat his mission, which involves sneaking aboard a hijacked military ship and discovering who stole the walking nuclear-equipped battle tank known as Metal Gear Ray. 'Why will the Lord not grant me my final rest?' asked a reincarnated Snake, crawling underneath a lifeboat on the ship's weather deck. 'Certainly there must be a greater purpose for me than to kill dozens and eventually be killed myself.' Added Snake: 'As Goethe said, 'Man must strive, and in striving he must err.'' Pitching himself over the ship's railing to avoid a trio of patrol guards, Snake pondered the notion of self-determination, wondering aloud whether he had any control over his own destiny. Before he could draw any conclusions, however, he lost his grip, falling into the sea and drowning. 'The Koran asks, 'Shall not the Lord of all the Earth do right?'' said Snake, rematerializing under the lifeboat. 'But scholars have often argued whether the question is an assertion of belief or a refutation of faith in absolute goodness on the part of the Creator. As for myself, all I know is, I'm tired of the constant pain, death, and destruction.' Snake was then shot in the head by an undetected guard, falling into a pool of his own blood before reappearing in the ship's afterdeck, where his mission began. God, moments before determining Solid Snake's fate. 'I often wonder, as many video-game characters do, whether God forces me to Continue to punish me for my sins,' Snake said. 'After all, I've deserted the American military, killed hundreds of guards, and betrayed my would-be lover, Meryl Silverburgh, by submitting to torture in the alternate ending to the first installment of 'Metal Gear Solid.' But sometimes, like when I suicidally attack dozens of armed guards with only my bare hands, it seems that God is putting me through hell merely to amuse Himself. It just doesn't make sense.' According to Rev. Paul Flessing of Yale University's Divinity School, Snake's theosophical quandary is far from uncommon. 'We all wrestle with the Big Questions about the will of God and one's place in Creation,' Flessing said. 'But the important thing is to have faith and try to find meaning in one's lifeor lives, as the case may be. We must remember the trials of Job, whose faith God continually tested. It seems Snake is going through something very much like that, with this constant pattern of 'Continues.' The purpose will become clear to him in the end.' Sidling along a companionway toward the ship's lounge, Snake considered his ultimate fate. 'What awaits me at the end of my lives' journeys?' Snake asked. 'Is there a Paradise on the other side? Or will it all end in a full-motion video sequence that hints at a forthcoming sequel?' The hallway then filled with nerve gas, fatally asphyxiating Snake. God, also known as Orangeburg 11-year-old Brandon MacElwee, offered no comment on His greater plan for Snake, saying He was 'too busy trying to get to the part with the knife-throwing Russian girl.' 
3	16 Food Storage Tips for the Space Challenged PrepperGaye Levy One of the more common prepper challenges is finding room for stored food and water. Lucky you if you have a large home with a basement or cellar you have plenty of space at just the right temperature. But the rest of us? Not so much. Many people live in apartments, condos, mobile homes, RVs or, in my case, a one-bedroom cottage. This means we are cramped for normal pantry and closet space let alone space for our emergency food and water. Couple the lack of storage space with the need to be mindful of the six enemies of food storage (temperature, moisture, oxygen, light, pests and time) and the storage problem compounds exponentially. This does not have to be an impossible situation. With a bit of creativity, almost everyone can find a bit of extra space for their emergency food storage. So with that in mind, today I would like to offer some ideas for storing food for the space challenged. I am going to do this by using my own home as an example. In the photos below you will see the results of my walk-around assessment of usable storage space in my own home. As embarrassing as it might seem to expose my messes and disorganization for the world to see, I think it will help give you some ideas where you too can find some extra space in your own home. 16 FOOD STORAGE TIPS FOR THE SPACE CHALLENGED PREPPER 1. Build some shelves under the stairwell If you are like me, that awkward space under the stairwell is a big mess. I actually cleaned this area out before taking the photo that is how bad it was. If you dont want to build shelves, consider putting some buckets along the back wall then placing a board on top. On top of this makeshift shelf you can store #10 tins or canned and packaged foods. This is going to be the number one makeover in my home. The area above the washer and dryer is not ideal since it is prone to heat and humidity. Still, if you are diligent about rotating on an annual basis, this area is perfectly acceptable for storing some canned goods or Mylar bags filled with rice, beans or oatmeal. In my case I have some dead space next to the cupboard perfect for a shelf or two. 3. Build some shallow shelves behind the clothes in your closet Most closets are far deeper than necessary for your hanging clothes. Adding a shelf just wide enough to hold canned goods will take advantage of this extra space without compromising your clothing one bit. 4. Clear out the junk on the shelf above your clothes in the closet Talk about a waste of space. I have stored some decorative shams up on the closet shelf above my hanging clothes. I used to keep the shams on the bed but to tell the truth, it made making the bed too much trouble so now I pull them out when company is coming. Most certainly, these pillows can be stored in my garage where it gets really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. As an alternative to shelves, you can purchase some inexpensive over-the-door shoe organizers for storing canned goods or bottled water. 6. Stack canned goods or jugs of water behind the sofa If your sofa is pushed up against a wall, consider moving it out a few inches and using thisnew-foundspace for food and water storage. 7. Shelves under the sink As long as the food you store under the sink is well sealed, it is perfectly okay to use this space for storage. Consider a shelf just wide enough to hold soda or juice jugs filled with rice or beans perfect. 8. Storage in the deep recesses of your cupboards This is a storage area I had not thought of before. The back on the very top shelves of my cupboards are areas that I consider to be no-mans land. I climbed up on a step stool to peek inside and stored there are cups and saucers that I never use, odds and ends of glassware, and items I have dragged from home to home during my 38 years of marriage. This stuff should be thrown out or given away. Why do I keep this stuff? Take a look inside your own cupboards. Do you have casserole dishes you never use? How about the good china that is only used once a year if that often? These are candidates for the garage or the garage sale. Box them up and make room for your food storage. 9. Storage above the refrigerator Ditto the above. Mine is too high to get to on a daily basis and too deep to be practical. At the very least, the back of the area above the refrigerator can be used to emergency food storage. 10. Storage in decorative baskets This is one of my favorites. I love baskets and use them to store all sorts of things in plain sight. I use one for my bread making supplies, another for pet food and treats, another as a potato bin. These are right there in my living room but no one is the wiser. Like I said, hidden in plain sight. 11. Storage behind the books on your bookshelf If you happen to collect books, think about pulling the books out toward the edge of the shelf and storing food behind the books. 12. Storage under the bed This one is easy so I am surprised more people dont consider this option. Not only that, you can use some well-placed bricks to raise your bed and to increase the height of your under-bed storage area. 13. Storage under the sofa or other pieces of furniture Do not discount the shallow storage area under your sofa, chairs or other furniture. This is where I store my extra large 15 cast iron skillet (my 12 skillet calls the oven home) as well as my baking sheets, pizza peel, board games and other items. As you walk around your own home and inventory space, be on the lookout for things that can be moved around and stored in out-of-the-way places such as under the furniture. 14. Fill up those empty suitcases Unless you are a business traveler, chances are you only use your luggage once or twice a year. Empty suitcases are ideal for storing food that has been packaged in Mylar or FoodSaver bags. This works equally well for pastas, rice, cereals and other packaged items from the grocery store. Consider storing the individual packages of food in a large garbage bag, then stuffing the whole thing into a suitcase. That way you can simply remove the single large bag when you are ready to travel, set it aside for the duration of your trip, then replace it when you get home. As a bonus, if you need to evacuate, you can grab your suitcase full of food and take it with you. Pretty neat, huh? 15. Store buckets in the bathtub I know people that never take a bath or do so only occasionally. This is not to say they are dirty they simply prefer the shower. Why not fill the bathtub with well-sealed buckets of food? You can put up a nice shower curtain and no one will be the wiser. You could also store a bucket or two in the shower. Removing it before turning on the water is not such a big deal, after all. By the way, the reason you want to use a bucket in the shower is so that the humidity from the bathroom does not leach into your food. That, plus the fact that is easy to just hoist the bucket and set it aside so much easier than a bunch of separate packages or cans. 16. Build a loft for storage in the garage We built a storage loft in our garage. If you do not have a high-peaked ceiling like we do, you can put a shelf around the upper perimeter of the garage instead. This is a great place to store those little-used kitchen appliances, off season clothes and other little-used items making room inside your home for more food. MAKING IT ALL WORTHWHILE There are some factors to keep in mind as you evaluate these hidden food storage locations in your home. The first is simply this: your stored food should be used, replaced and rotated. This is especially true if your storage conditions are not optimal. Let me give you an example. You live in a warm, humid climate and do not have air-conditioning. On a hot summer day, the temperature inside your home may be 80F and the humidity may be 80%. Okay, it is what it is. Rather than fret about the diminished shelf-life of your stored food, plan on using it after a year or two. As long as you replace what you use, you are fine. You food will still be nutritious and edible so rotate it into your day-to-day food pantry and eat it. The other thing is that your food storage is not an inheritance for your grandchildren. I wish I can claim credit for that statement but it belongs to Barbary Salsbury, the author ofPreparedness Principles: The Complete Personal Preparedness Resource Guide for Any Emergency Situation. I had the pleasure of meeting Barbara a couple of months ago and I was knocked to my senses by this statement. It is okay to purchase what you need to get you through a one month or even a one year emergency. But use your food. Cook with it and it eat it. Learn to cook your food outdoors, perhaps in a fire pit or on a rocket stove. Try eating it cold. Learn what you like and what you will take a pass on the next time around. But most of all, dont think that you have to hoard your food. Eat it, enjoy it and replace it. THE FINAL WORD Now that you are armed with some great (I hope) ideas, take a stroll around your own home. Look for your own set of hidey holes and or areas where junk has accumulated and think about how, with a wee bit or organization and handyman skills, you can store some extra food.

1	Reflecting on a long life that began at the end of the 19th century, the worlds oldest woman told reporters Monday that she could not be happier that every other human on earth the day she was born is now deceased. Nothing, not one single thing, gives me more pleasure than knowing anyone who was alive on March 5, 1898my family, my friends, and even far-off strangers that I never knew existedis stone-cold dead, said 116-year-old Misao Okawa, smiling as she observed how all 1.6 billion of the people who were alive the day she came into the world had passed away, one by one, during her remarkable lifespan. Im the sole fucking survivor. Im the longevity queen. Im the one who stuck it out while everyone else threw themselves on the corpse pile. Man, its too bad Im in a wheelchair or Id trample every single one of their fucking graves. Okawa went on to say her only regret is that she probably wont outlive all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. 
3	Legalizing Cannabis Has Done What 1 Trillion Dollars and a 40 Year War CouldntBy Nick Bernabe The Mexican drug cartels are finally meeting their match as a wave of cannabis legalization efforts drastically reshapes the drug trafficking landscape in the United States. It turns out that as states legalize cannabis use and cultivation, the volume of weed brought across the border by Mexican drug cartels dramatically decreases and isputting a dent in their cash flow. A newly-released statistical reportfrom the U.S. Border Patrol shows a sharp drop-off in cannabis captured at the border between the United States and Mexico. The reduction in weed trafficking coincides with dozens of states embracing cannabis use for both medical and recreational purposes. In fact, as the Washington Postreports, cannabis confiscations at the southern border have stumbled to the lowest point in over a decade to only 1.5 million pounds. Thats down from a peak of four million pounds in 2009. Speaking to Anti-Media, Amir Zendehnam, host of the popular cannabis show, In the Clear with Amir on Z420.tv, told us what he thinks of these new statistics: The economics of the cannabis industry show us that with healthy competition in the market, prices drop, quality rises, violence diminishes, and peaceful transactions increase. As constant new research emerges detailing the plants benefits, the negative stigma of using cannabis, both medicinally and recreationally, is diminishing, raising the demand for high quality product. Colorado, for example, is experiencing an economic boom that has never been seen in the state. The biggest issue in Colorado today is what to do with the huge amounts of revenue and economic success the state is gaining as a result of legalization. The Colorado model has proven that legalization reduces crime rates, cuts prices, pushes unfavorable competition out of the market, provides cleaner products with heightened transparency, and increases the standard of living for society as a whole. The only people hurt by continued societal acceptance and legalization of cannabis are the cartels and their friends, who have flourished for decades as a result of drug prohibition. As legalization spreads across the U.S. and the rest of the world like wildfire, I predict the industry will soon become one of the most dominant and beneficial industries humanity has ever seen. And the new competition from legal states has taken a big bite out of the entire illicit Mexican marijuana food chain. Two or three years ago, a kilogram [2.2 pounds] of marijuana was worth $60 to $90, a cannabis farmer in Mexico said in an interview with NPR. But now theyre paying us $30 to $40 a kilo. Its a big difference. If the U.S. continues to legalize pot, theyll run us into the ground. Consumers are also starting to see the difference. Cheap, low-quality Mexican cannabis has become almost impossible to find in states that have legalized, while prices for high-quality, home-grown have steadily decreased. This is good news for Mexico. A decreasing flow of cannabis trafficking throughout the country will likely lead to less cartel violence as revenues used to buy weapons dry up. Drug war-related violence in Mexico was responsible for an estimated 27,000 deaths in 2011 alone outpacing the entire civilian death toll of the United States 15-year war in Afghanistan. These developments reinforce criticism of the War on Drugs as a failed policy. Making substances like cannabis illegal simply drove the industry underground, helping make America the largest incarcerator in the world. Legalizing cannabis will also save the United States a great deal of money. As Mint Press News reported: Since Richard Nixon declared a war on drugs in June 1971, the cost of that war had soared to over $1 trillion by 2010. Over $51 billion is spent annually to fight the drug war in the United States, according to Drug Policy Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting more humane drug policies. Early reports from Colorados cannabis tax scheme show that revenues that will ostensibly help schools and rehabilitation efforts by flooding the state with cash. In fact, Colorado became the first state to generate more tax revenue from cannabis than alcohol in one year $70 million. But why stop with cannabis legalization? As more and more drug propaganda is debunked thanks to the legal weed movement, its time to also advocate for drug legalization across the board. The drug wars criminalization of substances has done nothing to stem their use, and has simply turned addicts into criminals, even though plenty of experts agree that addiction is a health issue, not a criminal one. Pragmatism, Altruism, and Compassion Russell giving evidence to the House of Commons on Drugs policy Posted by Russell Brand on Friday, February 26, 2016 Maybe its time for the U.S., Mexico, and other countries to embrace the Portuguese and Irish model of treating addiction to drugs like an addiction to alcohol or cigarettes, using rehabilitation rather than incarceration to confront the problem.

There are a lot of very stupid elites leading the major World powers, but the US seems to have many more than its fair share of them in the White House and Congress. You would have thought that Prohibition would have prevented them from embarking on the same path to perdition, but no, they were much too stupid to learn from that egregious experience! They are not stupid at all. The establishment works tirelessly to lead people to systematically abandon self-interest, so that it can profit from their error. Eggzackery what every human biped with at least half a brain thought would happen. The US military already controls the poppy fields of Afghanistan, this is how the US pays for all there black box projects as well as paying China back for all those loans to fight more wars in the Middle East. The USA is the largest drug dealer on the planet, the King of Drones is also the Lord of Poppies and the banksters number one star of brokering debt world wide.

2	Fans Disturbed After Joel Osteen Makes Shocking Statement About Obama Joel Osteen recently shocked his mega-fans in an interview with Larry King, when he decided to take the opportunity to praise Obama for being a good Christian, who is doing a good job. I think hes doing a great job, Osteen commented. Im impressed of his skill, calmness, his just strength under pressure. I think these are tough times for himhe got a lot put on his plate. But Ive been impressed. This is not the first time the Osteens have spoken out in support of the Obamas. His wife, Victoria, also caused quite the stir when she praised the First Lady for doing a remarkable job. After Osteen made his comments, King pushed him to comment on Obamas religion, and respond to those who doubt that our president is truly the Christian he claims to be. It matters to me that I know he loves the Lord, Osteen commented. I think its important that he has convictions from his faith. So to me, it matters when Im making my personal decisions. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Osteens comments.

Ever since Donald Trump took the presidency, liberals have been challenging the election system, demanding that Hillary Clinton still be made the president. They have even called for a recount of votesafter relentless criticism of Trump for calling the system rigged. Since Michigan had not yet been called for Trump, liberals were harboring hope that he would lose the state, which would have made it difficult for him to earn enough electoral votes to secure the presidency. On Wednesday, the Michigan Secretary of State posted the results that were submitted by the states 83 county clerks after the votes were reviewed and certified by each county. Before compiling the count, Trump held a 13,107 lead over Clinton. After each county certified results, the lead shrunk to 10,704. Trump is the first Republican candidate to win Michigan since 1988. The states Board of Canvassers will officially certify the results on November 28. The Electoral College in all states, including Michigans 16 electors, will cast their votes on Dec. 19. In total across the nation, Trump won 306 electoral votes, compared to 232 for Clinton. Clinton still holds a lead of more than 2 million votes in the popular vote.

Gives Them Brutal Reminder About Predators Paula Jones, who sued Bill Clinton for $850,000 doctors, has a lot to say about the footage that was released of Donald Trump and his conversation with Billy Bush. Frankly, Jones is disgusted with how people are attacking Trump but not Clinton. So Donald Trump had to apologize about the woman comments, she noted. I dont recall that Bill or Hillary has apologized to me and Juanita Broaddrick or Kathleen Willey, yet Bill was getting his wee wee sucked under the Oval Office desk and still won a second term, UNBELIEVABLE! No liberal ever questioned his ability to run our country then, why NOW with Trump? Two faced hypocritical liberals! What do you think of Trumps comments?

2	Kohls Shutting Down In MASS, The Reason Why Is Horrifying Time and time again, President Barack Obama has assured the American people that our economy is in solid groundbut stories like this one paint a very different picture. According to reports from Conservative Tribune, the popular Kohls department store chain just announced that they intend to close 18 retail locations. The announcement came shortly after a report that noted that Kohls profits had dropped about 20 percent in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year. The sales are also expected to remain flat this year. Kohls will be confirming exactly which stores they will close later this month, but they maintain that the cuts will save the company upwards of $45 million. That adds up to about 1 percent of sales. This closure is just one examples of the many store chains that are struggling to survive. Other stores include Macys, Sears, and Walmart. This is what is happening to American businesses at the hands of Barack Obama. What do you think? Will you continue to support Kohls?

1	BAGHDADOfficials overseeing Saddam Hussein told reporters Monday that the detained former Iraqi leader rules over his cell 'with an iron fist.' Hussein waves to his legions of loyal mice. 'Saddam is a very powerful man with a larger-than-life presence, and when he's in that cell, there's no mistaking who's in charge,' said a special-forces officer who commands the watch of Hussein at an undisclosed location in Iraq. 'We gave Saddam a small bag of nuts. While he was asleep, the rats got into the nuts and ate some of them. In retaliation, Saddam caught one of the rats' young, tortured it, and left it strapped to the wall with dental floss for days. Then, after it was dead, he stuffed its severed head with nuts and paraded it around the cell to warn the other rats.' 'But Saddam will also be kind to the vermin and occasionally toss them an almond to fight over,' the officer said. 'In this way, he teaches the rats both to love and to fear him.' According to a CIA official, the dictator 'personally monitors' every inch of his 12'x11' cell. 'Nothing escapes Saddam's notice,' the official said. 'He's assembled a secret lice force to collect information and watch over the cell while he sleeps. At first, it seemed harmless, but the lice grew in number every day. Where once there were a couple, now there are thousands hiding in the folds of his sheets.' Although Hussein is isolated from the other detainees, the former ruler of Iraq makes frequent proclamations. 'Every day at around 6, he delivers his morning decree,' the CIA official said. 'He tells the cockroaches and other vermin in the cell that he will protect them against the oppressive Western devils and reward those who remain loyal. Then he usually sings. I once rapped on the bars with the butt of my rifle, but that just fired him up. He started cursing a blue streak at me and launched into a recitation of the '64 Rules Of Order' for the cell. Now I know to just let him tire himself out.' Sources say Hussein has brought an atmosphere of pageantry to his cell, by decorating it with slogans and iconic images. He drew a flag on the north wall with chalk and etched the slogan 'God Punish The Oppressors' into the floor with a toothbrush handle. He used the black heel of his shoe to draw his portrait on the wall and shaped a 14-inch statue of himself out of chickpeas and chewed bread. 'When I gave him the chalk, I thought he was just going to tick off the days with it, but I guess I should have expected more from a man as ingenious as Saddam,' an unnamed soldier said. 'Now, he delivers his speeches in front of the flag. He tried to use his bed and blanket to make a roster and bunting once, but we said 'No way.' Yesterday we caught him standing on the toilet reading aloud from his memoirs. We told him to get down before he slipped and hurt himself.' Hussein appointed 12 cockroach ministers to his cabinet, but he has already had to execute nine of them for crimes ranging from sexual impropriety to inappropriate scurrying. He has named his pillow the Ba'ath Party Military Bureau Deputy Chairman and Head of National Monitoring Directorate, and uses this top party member to execute disloyal subjects. 'It's not unusual to see Saddam running around the cell whacking everything in sight with his deputy chairman,' the soldier said. 'He's awfully attached to that thing. Not everyone knows how sentimental Saddam is. When they took his bedding to be cleaned, he openly wept for the loss of his closest confidant.' Hussein has repeatedly refused weapons and contraband inspections. 'Most of the prisoners I've dealt with see the daily checks as routine,' the soldier said. 'But Saddam likes to complain about how we need evidence of wrongdoing before we can cross the cell's threshold.' Occasionally, guards have been forced to threaten Hussein with sanctions to get him to comply with inspections. 'Every couple of days, he refuses to let us look under his bed,' an unnamed soldier said. 'There's never anything under there, but sometimes he likes to make a big deal out of refusing.' Amnesty International spokesman Troy Jergins said sanctions have little effect on Hussein himself, and only harm the cell's other inhabitants. 'If you take away his cigars or his half hour of fresh air, you're only hurting his subjects,' Jergins said. 'When we take his privileges away, he flies into a rage, killing insects, cursing at the mice, and throwing his toiletries at the wall.' Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, a top U.S. army commander in Iraq, responded to concerns that Hussein wields too much power in his cell. 'Well, we keep a pretty tight watch on him,' Odierno said. 'Besides, this prison is just temporary. They'll be moving him when it's time for him to face the international tribunal for his atrocities. His pre-cell atrocities, that is.'

1	Ending a strict, six-millennia prohibition of the consumption of cloven-hoofed beasts, the World Rabbinical Council announced Tuesday that Jews worldwide may 'dig in to the delicious taste of ham.' Members of the World Rabbinical Council, moments after voting to end 6,000 years of ham prohibition. 'The Jewish people have always had the utmost reverence for the laws of God, as handed down from Abraham to his son Isaac, to his son Jacob. However, from time to time, it is necessary to make slight revisions and modernizations to these laws,' said council president Rabbi Menachem Saperstein, sucking on a hambone, his white beard soaked with succulent ham drippings. 'As no less a Talmudic scholar than Moses Maimonides once wrote, 'Change is the way of the Lord.'' Added Saperstein, 'Mmm... this is some tasty ham.' According to Rabbi David Feinberg, head of the American Congress of Orthodox Rabbis, the newly approved ham will be incorporated into a number of Jewish customs. 'During the Passover seder, which commemorates our people's deliverance from slavery in Egypt, we will remember the day God brought us unto the Land of Milk and Honey by drinking a tall glass of milk with a thick slice of honey-glazed ham,' Feinberg said. 'And joining the charoses and maror on the seder plate will be a ham roll, symbolizing the juicy, mouth-watering taste of freedom.' Feinberg also noted that an abbreviated version of Passover, to be called Hamover, will be observed on the third Saturday of every month. The new holiday, he said, will involve 'the eating of tons of ham.' Saperstein will officially announce all the changes to the dietary code next Friday during a World Rabbinical Council cookout at the Wailing Wall. Though some of the details have yet to be worked out, most notably those involving the kosher status of redeye gravy and the Talmudic interpretation of 'all the trimmings,' Saperstein said he would stress the important role ham has played in his people's ancient roots. 'As it is written in Genesis, Noah had a much-beloved son named Ham, who was the father of all Canaan,' Saperstein said. 'From this day forth, we shall honor Noah's greatest son by partaking of the flesh which shares his name.' Rabbis break their Yom Kippur fast with delicious Manischewitz-brand bacon. Saperstein also noted that the complex genealogies of the Pentateuch lend credence to the theory that Abraham bore a son named Bakon, and that one of David's in-laws was known as Zebulon Bar-Sausage. Shortly following the announcement, Orthodox Jews across the country stormed grocery stores, feverishly buying up all the ham they could carry. 'Canned ham, smoked ham, sliced ham, potted ham, ham loafthey were all flying out of here,' said Chris Dinardo, manager of a butcher shop in Borough Park, a Hasidic neighborhood in Brooklyn. 'Just last week, those same customers would stare longlingly at those hams for hours before slumping off with a roast turkey.' 'Last night, five or six of those fellas with the long beards and black hats came in here and ran up a $564 bill,' said Jack Burkett, owner of Smoky Jack's BBQ in Rocky Mount, NC. 'Every time we'd bring them a plate, they'd just choke out the words, 'More pig,' between bites.' Though the departure from traditional kosher law may seem like a radical change, Jewish elders point out precedents such as 1977's experimental Yom Lobster holiday, and stress that Judaism is not above modification. 'The original codes were set down thousands of years ago by a nomadic people with no knowledge of refrigeration, preservatives or disease control,' said Rabbi Eliyahu Baruch of Yeshiva University. 'While we retain many of these traditions to honor our ancestors and our God, we recognize that they are unnecessary from a practical standpoint. Have you ever smelled bacon frying? Oy, vey, how my mouth waters.' 'For six millennia, the story of the Jewish people has been the story of survival,' Baruch said. 'But even the most indestructible race would lose their will to live after 6,000 years of brisket.' 
2	Citizens In Alabama Refuse To Let Sharia Law Pass According to recent reports, Alabama recently took a major step to protect their state from Sharia law. Amendment One of the states constitution now prohibits foreign law from being used to decide cases in Alabama courts. The amendment, originally drafted by Birmingham attorney Eric Johnston, passed easily. I put in about three years of work on it, Johnston told reporters. We were just trying to do something legal, not political. The amendment was sponsored by State Sen. Gerald Allen. The measure ultimately passed by a margin of about 72 percent to 28 percent. Now, the responsibility falls on a legislative committee to determined how it will be numbered and under which article it will fall. Your constitutional rights are not affected by it, Johnston told reporters, arguing that the measure does not undermine the religious rights of Muslims or anyone else. Weve got a religious freedom amendment in Alabama. All it says is pay attention to the religious freedom amendment. Womens rights are compromised by Sharia rights if a lawyer in a custody case says, Islam requires you to do this. Its a help to judges. It doesnt create any new laws. Of course, liberals have been quick to call the amendment racist. What do you think? Do you support this protective measure? 
3	Anarchast with Zen Gardner: Seeing Beyond the Veil!By Anarchast 
1	Despondent over a recent breakup with his longtime girlfriend, Purdue University graduate student Tim Mahaffey, 27, has been hitting the Nintendo GameCube 'pretty hard,' roommates reported Monday. Mahaffey loses himself in his videogame system. 'Tim's been trying to drown his sorrows in the Cube,' roommate Darrell Lock said. 'He's always been into Nintendo, but it was under control. These days, though, you barely ever see him without a controller in his hand.' Mahaffey's downward spiral began on Dec. 14, when Brittany Pfafflin, his girlfriend of two years, ended their relationship. In the days following the split, Mahaffey's friends noticed him exhibiting a decreased interest in social activities and a corresponding rise in time spent with his GameCube. 'All he wants to do is bury himself in Super Smash Bros. and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4,' Lock said. 'He used to think of himself as a 'social' videogame player, confident that he could hit quit any time he wanted. But lately, he'll play one game after another, all night long without stopping. Doesn't he know how many other people it hurts? I have to teach a 9 a.m. discussion section.' Even more distressing, roommate Colin Thaler said, is Mahaffey's habit of lying to cover up his GameCube addiction. 'Whenever Darrell and I leave the apartment in the morning, Tim hangs back and makes up some excuse to stay in, like he has to find his keys or write a paper,' Thaler said. 'But we know better. As soon as we're gone, he digs up one of the controllers he has hidden all over the apartment and lights up the TV.' During a recent conversation, Mahaffey gave Thaler the impression that he might finally be ready to start dating again. 'I took it as an encouraging sign when Tim said there was a girl who seemed interested in him,' Thaler said. 'Eventually, I realized that he was talking about a character in the virtual town he created in Animal Crossing. He said her name was 'Jeanne.' I know he needs us to be there for him, but I almost started whaling on him.' Nintendo spokesman Michael Dean offered support to Mahaffey and others sharing his problem. 'Our prayers go out to the friends and family of Mr. Mahaffey, and to Mr. Mahaffey himself,' Dean said. 'When used responsibly, the Nintendo GameCube is a refreshing and enjoyable way to unwind from the pressures of the day. It is not intended for abuse, as has been reported among a small percentage of our happy GameCube family. We hope Mr. Mahaffey can get the help he needs so he can once again lead a productive life that includes responsible playing of such forthcoming games as Dungeons & Dragons Heroes, Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Evolution Snowboarding.'

That ride will quickly be over, however, if presidential nominee Donald Trump takes over. According to reports from Mad World News, a video has gone viral of a thug threatening to kill the legendary businessman if he comes after his food stamps. The video was posted to Facebook by Ziqutan Handy, though he does not appear to be the man in the footage. The speaker refers to himself only as Lil Maine. Lil Maine claims that he heard trump was coming for his mommas food stamps, and he was clearly furious. In his rant, he claims that if these rumors are true he will go to war with the government, and put Trump all the way down. Watch the full clip below and tell us what you think.

3	New Law Would Make Taxpayers Potentially Liable For TRILLIONS In Derivatives LossesMichael Snyder Right now, lobbyists for the big Wall Street banks are pushing really hard to include an extremely insidious provision in a bill that would keep the federal government funded past the upcoming December 11th deadline. This provision would allow these big banks to trade derivatives through subsidiaries that are federally insured by the FDIC. What this would mean is that the big banks would be able to continue their incredibly reckless derivatives trading without having to worry about the downside. If they win on their bets, the big banks would keep all of the profits. If they lose on their bets, the federal government would come in and bail them out using taxpayer money. In other words, it would essentially be a heads I win, tails you lose proposition. Just imagine the following scenario. I go to Las Vegas and I place a million dollar bet on who will win the Super Bowl this year. If I am correct, I keep all of the winnings. If I lose, federal law requires you to bail me out and give me the million dollars that I just lost. Does that sound fair? Of course not! In fact, it is utter insanity. But through their influence in Congress, this is exactly what the big Wall Street banks are attempting to pull off. Andaccording to the Huffington Post, there is a very good chance that this provision will be in the final bill that will soon be voted on But the truth is that people should be marching in the streets over this. If this provision becomes law, the American people could potentially be on the hookfor absolutely massive losses This is not the first time these banks have tried to pull off such a coup. As Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg has detailed, bank lobbyists tried to do a similar thing last year Fortunately, it was stopped in the Senate at that time. But that is the thing with bank lobbyists. They are like Terminators they never, ever, ever give up. For example, the rapidly plunging price of oil could potentially mean gigantic losses for the big banks. Many large shale oil producers locked in their profits for 2015 and 2016 through derivatives contracts when the price of oil was above $100 a barrel. As I write this, the price of oil is down to $65 a barrel, and many analysts expect it to go much lower. So guess who is on the other end of many of those trades? The big banks. Their computer models never anticipated that the price of oil would fall by more than 40 dollars in less than six months. A loss of 40, 50 or even 60 dollars per barrel would be catastrophic. No wonder they want legislation that will protect them. And commodity derivatives are just part of the story. Over the past couple of decades, Wall Street has been transformed into the largest casino in the history of the world. At this point, the amounts of money that these too big to fail banks are potentially on the hook for are absolutely mind blowing. As you read this, there are five Wall Street banks that each have more than 40 trillion dollars in exposure to derivatives. The following numbers come from the OCCs most recent quarterly report (see Table 2) JPMorgan Chase Citibank Goldman Sachs Bank Of America Morgan Stanley Those that follow my website regularly will note that the derivatives exposure for the top four banks has gone up significantly since I last wrote about this just a few months ago. Do you want to be on the hook for all of that? Keep in mind that the U.S. national debt is only about 18 trillion dollars at this point. So why in the world would we want to guarantee losses that could potentially be far greater than our entire national debt? Only a complete and utter fool would financially guarantee these incredibly reckless bets. Please contact your representatives in Congress and tell them that you do not want to be on the hook for the derivatives losses of the big Wall Street banks. When this derivatives bubble finally implodes and these big banks go down (and they inevitably will), we do not want them to take down the rest of us with them.

3	How Understanding The Truth Movement May Hold Many Answers For HumanityBy Bernie Suarez Yes, on the surface it may seem like a silly or trivial question. But is it really? Sadly and unfortunately many people especially in America are actually trained and thoroughly brainwashed into thinking that the truth movement is nothing but conspiracy theorists and all the rest that comes with that engineered mass mind conditioning. If you believe this way I encourage you to forget what youve been told and think on your own for once. For those awakened and seeking truth let us spend some time answering this question or attempting to put this concept in perspective. First off, truth is realized. No one has a patent on truth not myself, not anyone in the truth movement. Anyone can be wrong about something but the pursuit of truth as a lifestyle that involves first being completely disconnected from the matrix of lies then using all your senses, accepting when you might be wrong, researching things, seeing the bigger picture in light of history, established documents, current day observations, and in light of the technology assisted information sharing. As Ive indicated, all of this requires shutting off all mainstream media news. People who resist truth are almost always guaranteed to be looped into mainstream media junk, government scientific claims and highly coordinated and structured ongoing propaganda. Sadly, these people are never aware of the mental information circus they are subjected to every day. We have powerful tools today for anyone with a clear and functional mind (free of mainstream media news and government propaganda of course) to enjoy the pursuit of objective truth, as it is realized not something someone convinces you of. Anyone who cannot wrap their head around this concept is permanently bound to slavery, subjectivism, mental anguish, stress, and oppression at the hands of government and their control system. You could never truly be free AND still believe and go along with government lies no matter what. Similarly, you cannot live in a subjective world without any sense of truth and objectivity AND at the same time think that you are somehow in control. Many people try to live in a purely subjective world never acknowledging that there really is an expression of truth versus lies that objectively exists. All that said, since government loves to throw out manifestos into the public minds every time they spin off a gun-grab false flag shooting, I thought it proper to put out a manifesto explaining exactly what I believe the truth movement really is. It is my hope to cut through the stubborn minds that resist truth and lay out some concrete ideas for understanding what the truth movement is all about. The truth movement is an idea and a citizen-based grassroots peace and social justice movement that began mostly in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 globalist terror attacks on America. An attack planned and coordinated by a network of global financial elite referred to by many as the nameless new world order. For this reason the truth movement began as a focused attempt to reveal the truth about 9/11 but has since expanded to cover many other social justice issues that plague humanity. We believe this era of information awareness and sophisticated technology has both allowed corrupt governments to become more oppressive and at the same time has allowed the truth about the new world order to become common knowledge to millions around the world. The truth movement represents the spirit and commitment of humanity to focus on exposing the globalists, corrupt politicians, and elite who are working tirelessly to enslave humanity and usher in their new world order. The truth movement, while its mostly an idea, it is also a conscious commitment to actions that promote social justice, freedom, liberty, equality and opposition to political corruption, oppression, tyranny and fascism. We hold politicians and media responsible for the lies they tell that keep humanity in a perpetual state of enslavement and war under the guise of safety from terrorism shown to be created and orchestrated by the same controllers who seek to diminish your freedoms and liberty. Above all, the truth movement seeks to expose all lies, political propaganda, mass deception and staged news at any cost. It has no obligatory allegiance to any political party (including the libertarian political party), religion, race, gender, culture or other interest because all of these interests are vulnerable to government propaganda. The truth movement acknowledges that truth itself is the thing that holds the most value regardless of who it may offend, and it is incumbent upon all of us to do the best we can to line ourselves up with the truth whatever that truth may be. We acknowledge that in the past some organizations and leaders have been described and referred to by mass media as representatives of the truth movement, but we believe that is not possible because the truth movement is a conscious network without a single leader. It is a global consciousness matrix that has evolved out of humanity in the post-9/11 era that cannot be stopped. We believe government controllers would love to suggest that the truth movement is represented by one person or one organization because that makes the idea easier to discredit or destroy by simply destroying or discrediting that single person or organization. Unfortunately for the controllers the truth movement is a living and breathing concept that lives inside of you and me, and it is the essence of humanitys conscious attempt to survive this modern day tyranny and mass mind control. We believe that acknowledging the essence and reality of the truth movement is a great starting point to becoming mentally free from the enslavement humanity is under. Like the essence of realizing that you are born a free and sovereign human being, likewise truth is a realization not a dogma or belief to be forced upon anyone. The goal is to de-politicize the movement and the concept and to understand it in your heart and mind as an organic phenomenon of humanity. This organic mental awakening will unlock your mental chains and allow you to more quickly understand and recognize government lies and deceptive propaganda and begin to reveal many answers about life you have now. This human awakening is a major threat to the control system which has nothing but empty entertainment, fear and anxiety-producing news, government intimidation by enforcement of laws, and other lies and propaganda to offer humanity. In the same way that government cannot sell you spirituality, organic love, true joy and a sense of human purpose, likewise it cannot sell you vivid truth and the passion and energy that comes with acknowledging truth. Everything government offers is shallow, empty, temporary and based on artificially engineered feelings. Imagine how weak and powerless all of this compares with discovering who you are, who other truth seekers are, and the power of global human unity and purpose? This is the power of being human. And this is what the truth movement is truly all about. If you understand this message and agree, share this message with someone who still thinks the truth movement is about conspiracies and nothing else. Pass a candle to those sitting in the dark to help light their way. Bernie is a revolutionary writer with a background in medicine, psychology, and information technology. He has written numerous articles over the years about freedom, government corruption and conspiracies, and solutions. A former host of the 9/11 Freefall radio show, Bernie is also the creator of the Truth and Art TV project where he shares articles and videos about issues that raise our consciousness and offer solutions to our current problems. His efforts are designed to encourage others to joyfully stand for truth, to expose government tactics of propaganda, fear and deception, and to address the psychology of dealing with the rising new world order. He is also a former U.S. Marine who believes it is our duty to stand for and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. A peace activist, he believes information and awareness is the first step toward being free from enslavement from the globalist control system which now threatens humanity. He believes love conquers all fear and it is up to each and every one of us to manifest the solutions and the change that you want to see in this world, because doing this is the very thing that will ensure victory and restoration of the human race from the rising global enslavement system, and will offer hope to future generations. I find it informative to watch and read mainstream media, where I can see what kind of propaganda is being pushed. I will never stop being skeptical after what Ive seen the last 15+ years however. my mom in law recently purchased a 12 month old Honda Insight Hatchback only from working part-time off a pc..Its time to take some action and you can join it too.It is simple,dedicated and easy way to get rich.Three weeks from now you will wishyou have started today. why not try here __________www.JobsNet50.com Life is an individual conquest. The winners are kind, compassionate beings who seek to serve good through individual acts. Naturally you have the opposite of that. Dont really care about any movement. To me its just a waste of time. Everything that can be built, can be corrupted. No counter party risk, and should I die, I will have done so serving good and on my feet. So the question is really irrelevant, at least to me. Life, perhaps, but culture is community. It takes more than one individual to influence culture. If you as an individual pursue truth, and other individuals do so as well, what a nice community we would have! That is a nice dream, one I hope to see someday. Sadly, this is not the case. As there is no common belief amongst the people, even when there was, people were still people. Finding minor differences to quarrel about. I have no control over the next person, nor would I want it, seems tiring to me. What I can control is me, even that is a struggle at times. I once believed this to be the case, and boy was I wrong. This plane of existence is corrupted, so I no longer strive for its rewards, but the rewards of higher planes of existence. I know whats coming, and I know what the results be, and even though it will be good for a time after the paradigm shift, it too will be fleeting. Semper Fi Bernie! Keep on keepin on! Eat your GMO gruel and shut-up. Problem with the truth movement is that it is blazingly,spectacularly wrong about so much and is rotten with anti-Semites. For example,the 9/11 truth movement insists (still) against all logic,common sense and reason that Larry Silverstein admitted that the FDNY made that decision to blow up Building 7 on 9/11/01.An entire nutty cult has grown around this absolutely bonkers malarkey. Now how far can a truth movement get when they cant get the simple stuff correct? I cant get my head around the whole anti-semite, ADL thing, surely if you need that many organisations (e.g. ADL) and rules (e.g. political correctness) about things you cant say or do, there is a genuine problem/concern with the issue(s) you cant mention or talk about? How about all the talk of Jeremy Corbyn being an anti-semite. Just daft. Most/many Jewish people arent even Semitic are they? I am no expert on this, just voicing my views. Regarding 9/11 and Larry Silverstein, he clearly said pull the building and then it did collapse perfectly into its own footprint and at freefall speed, but it takes days and specific expertise to wire a building up for demolition and for the building to fall perfectly into its own footprint at freefall speed, which building 7 clearly did. So, how did they manage to pull that off within the space of a few hours? I am no expert on this, and am not sure whether it was a full inside job from start to finish or the Bush admin knew of it just let it happen and then benefited from the aftermath, problem, reaction, solution (bomb the life out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and now Syria). Thanks for illustrating my point,Rupert.Its daft morons like you. .he clearly said pull the building.. Not only arent you an expert,youre such a twit that you cant even get the quote right. Next time your pub partner tells you to jump off a cliff think twice,Jew hater. Silverstein did say that Weve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=206C1F5EDFC83824 Author should identify the Truth Movement BEFORE the 6th paragraph! LOL! I didnt know what the heck I was reading about! If youd told me it was about Social Justice up front, I could have saved myself the read Good by. 
3	UN fails to agree on Arms Trade Treaty, opts for possible vote by the end of the yearMadison Ruppert, Contributor Negotiations have been held between 170 countries from July 2 to July 27, 2012 and yet they were not even able to make a decision on a draft version of the treaty which some say could have threatened the Second Amendment. However, the treaty, which needed to be adopted by consensus (meaning it would only take one country to veto the deal), has not been shot down completely. There is still the possibility of further discussions and a draft arms trade treaty very well could be brought before the 193-nation UN General Assembly. Indeed, some diplomats are clearly confident that this treaty will be put in place, essentially saying it is just a matter of time until it happens. We feel that we could have agreed (a treaty). It is disappointing that more time is needed. But an arms-trade treaty is coming not today but soon. Weve taken a big step forward, said a spokesperson for the British delegation. One person every minute dies from armed violence around the world, and arms control activists say a convention is needed to prevent illicitly traded guns from pouring into conflict zones and fueling wars and atrocities. However, the problem is that this view is incredibly myopic and ignores the fact that guns arent actually responsible for as much death as we might think. For instance, in the United States in 2006, there were 42,642 reported road traffic fatalities according to the US DOT/NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System, defined as died within 30 days of the crash. Meanwhile, in 2005 there were 10,100 homicides committed using firearms in the United States according to FBI statistics. It seems to me that if these so-called arms control activists are really concerned about human life they would be out crusading for safer cars around the world. Obviously they are not doing anything of the sort since people believe for some reason that the bigger threat to human life around the world is the right to bear arms. Despite many UN members states being in favor of the treaty, especially Western nations, there were some strong opponents in the mix as well including Algeria, Egypt, Iran, North Korea and Syria. Yet, according to Reuters: arms-control activists blamed the United States and Russia for the inability to reach a decision on Friday, as both countries said there was not enough time left for them to clarify and resolve issues they had with the draft treaty. Moving forward, President Obama must show the political courage required to make a strong treaty that contains strong rules on human rights a reality, said Scott Stedjan, a senior policy advisor with Oxfam America. Here Stedjan is reflecting the strange and increasingly common perspective which holds that the president should take unilateral action on matters without consulting the public or the publics representatives. While UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed his disappointment with the failure to come to an agreement, he said: There is already considerable common ground and states can build on the hard work that has been done during these negotiations. Clearly the notion that the treaty will move forward eventually and come into action is a popular one. Oxfam has been a major proponent of the treaty, with the head of arms control at Oxfam, Anna Macdonald, making some heated statements about the treatys failure. Today was the day for political courage not delays and dithering, said Macdonald. Some 50,000 people lost their lives through armed violence during the course of these month-long negotiations. The out-of-control arms trade must and will be stopped. It seems that Macdonald is also part of the group which is absolutely certain that the ATT will be approved eventually. While the United Nations and proponents of the treaty insist that it will not endanger legal domestic gun ownership in places like the United States, I personally do not trust them to hold to that.

3	Copyright Claims Shut Down Websites With No Proof or Due ProcessEric Blair That is exactly what happened to the hip hop blog Dajaz1.com when the US government seized and censored it for over a year at the behest of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). RIAA claimed, while providing no evidence, that Dajaz1 was infringing on their copyrights and demanded they be shut down. The government obliged the request before receiving any proof of the infringement. As it turns out, the RIAA couldnt provide any evidence and the government was forced to return the website with not so much as even an apology.Fortunately, Dajaz1 had their property returned to them, but not before they lost a year of revenue plus the aggravation involved in battling false claims. This case illustrated that the burden of proof was not needed, nor was due process, to censor and seize properties that are accused of copyright crimes. In the past, the Department of Homeland Security has committed mass seizures of websites and domains suspected of copyright piracy, and evenshut down sites for merely linking to to copyrighted materialconfirming that the government and judges will do the bidding for large corporations with or without the authority to do so. Incidentally, using this draconian tactic appears to be the only way that authorities can seize websites accused of copyright violations. Every single case where copyright trolls like Righthaven have attempted to use proper court channels (i.e. due process), the lawsuits were either dismissed or ruled in favor fair use rights. Whats worse, content hosting sites like YouTube have recently begun implementing automated copyright sensors which act to shut down channels of those who were flagged in the system. And these actions have not even been prompted by legislation or corporate requests. This week, YouTube restricted the channels of one of the most-viewed publishers on their platform because of an automated copyright claim by a third-party marketing company. Radio news host Alex Jones, whose primary YouTube channel has over 200 million views, and affiliate channels combine for nearly a half-a-billion views, was put on notice by Google-owned YouTube. What was Jones copyright crime? He aired his radio interviews with Joe Rogan who is under contract with a web marketing company called Bent Pixels. Bent Pixels claims sole copyright ownership of Rogans voice and image. Paul Joseph Watson, who works for Alex Jones, writes: Although Bent Pixels had previously used its own software to place ads on You Tube videos that contain exclusive Rogan content, You Tube began using its own automated software to determine which videos contained the image or voice of Joe Rogan, and then threatened legitimate content owners with community violations if the clips were not removed. Not only our videos of Joe Rogans appearances on the Alex Jones Show but other Joe Rogan videos across You Tube were deleted on this pretext and channels were suspended. This software has been applied across the You Tube platform, which is why hundreds of thousands of videos are now being deleted even though they clearly represent fair use or are even exclusive content which doesnt even pertain to fair use. YouTube appears to be prosecuting an entirely new form of copyright infringement with no regard for fair use rights. Watson refers to this disturbing new frontier of censorship as Copyrighting People. Obviously, its not copyright infringement when a personality goes on an independent radio show who then publishes their own material online. Any judge would laugh this supposed violation out of court. The oft-used metaphor for identifying copyright infringement online is Its like porn; you know it when you see it. But, its clear that an automated bot doesnt have the judgement needed to prosecute potential crimes especially in light of fair use rights. Nor does a police agency like DHS have the judgement or authority in such cases. It still remains unclear why online copyright laws need to be strengthened in the first place. There are already paths for content creators to pursue if they feel violated. They can simply request that a site remove their content or take them to court. Of course, that would require that they provide evidence that is beyond fair use rights. At best any sweeping legislation to further police copyrights is akin to using a sledgehammer when only a scalpel is needed. Yet, its more likely that the sledgehammer is intended to be a tool of mass censorship to smash competition who threaten mega-corporations in the only genuine free market left the Internet.

1	The Department of the Interior announced this week that ongoing negotiations with the nation's population of spotted ground squirrels have been resolved and that the rodents are now contracted to continue activities on U.S. soil through Dec. 31, 2015. 'We're happy to have finally reached an agreement with this vital American species, and we thank all the ground squirrels who have been carrying on in good faith for the past 18 months while we worked this out,' a jubilant but visibly exhausted Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told reporters at a press conference Tuesday. 'Their continued participation in our forests, meadows, and prairies is an integral part of our natural world, and I think our generous offer reflects that fact.' Under the terms of the agreement, which was conducted through third-party labor mediators, the ground squirrels will be responsible for scurrying up and down trees; rustling in undergrowth; chittering; and eating a variety of seeds, berries, and nuts. The contract stipulates the nation's spotted ground squirrels be paid $345 million over five years and also provides for performance-based bonuses. 'This amount is well in line with the compensation of other North American wildlife, and when you factor in the spotted ground squirrels' vast range of distribution across the country, it's actually quite a value,' said Ray Chen, who represented the squirrels during arbitration. 'The government is getting a tremendous bargain on Xerospermophilus spilosoma, especially when you consider what they're currently paying the white-tail deer.' Negotiations between Chen's firm of Hannigan, Chen & Falbaum and the Interior Department took nearly two years, and at one point reportedly grew so strained that the government considered opening the bidding to blue jays, marmots, and Lockheed Martin. A deal was reached only after the ground squirrels acquiesced to signing a non- compete clause that forbids the animals from pursuing foraging opportunities in the Asian or Latin American markets. 'We think this was a deal that had to happen, and both sides are satisfied,' said assistant secretary for wildlife Tom Strickland, who originally balked at the ground squirrel's terms and was chastised by the pro-squirrel-labor lobby for his use of the 'disparaging and insensitive' slang term 'gopher' during a television interview early in the negotiations. 'I admit the road here was rocky, and we wish they had given a little on the three-month's hibernation. But no one wanted a return to the strike years of the 1970s, when unburied nuts were piling up on curbs by the thousands.' Because government representatives were unable to move the ground squirrels on several key points, including nesting in attics and garages, and appearing suddenly in the middle of the road for no apparent reason, the contract is essentially the same as the previous agreement, which held from 1998 to 2009. The Interior Department denied that national-park fees would increase to cover the ground squirrels' new contract and insisted that the cost of the most hotly contested portion of the agreement, a provision for comprehensive heath care extending well into retired squirrels' fourth year of life, was included in the total divulged cost. 'Worse comes to worst, we're not locked in to anything, since it's just a five-year deal,' Salazar said. 'And now that this is behind us, we can turn our attention to making sure we get that contact signed with the bald eagles, who have been threatening to move their operations to Mexico since June.' 
2	Sarah Palin In Trouble After Doing THIS To Michael Moore [PHOTOS] The new film American Sniper is based on the autobiography of Navy Seal Chris Kyle. Although it has received some wonderful reviews from the box office, its also served as a target for political debate. My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers arent heroes. And invaders r worse, Tweeted liberal filmmaker Michael Moore in response to the film. He immediately received backlash from the community. Shortly thereafter, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin was caught on camera in Las Vegas holding up a sign reading: F*** you Michael Moore with two men. The man on Palins left is Sgt. Dakota Meyer, Medal of Honor recipient. Palin has also raised questions about her intentions to run in the 2016 presidential election, after confirming that she was interested in the race. Would you vote for Palin? 
1	Archaeologists working in a remote section of the Amazon Rainforest announced Tuesday that they have discovered the ancient remnants of what they claimed may be the lousiest civilization in human history. According to Dr. Ronald Farber, a professor from the University of Minnesota who is leading the excavation, the 'half-assed' culture existed from about 450 B.C. until 220 B.C., when it abruptly disappearedan event he said was 'honestly no big loss' for our understanding of human culture. 'From what we've unearthed so far, it appears this pre-Columbian civilization was pretty much just copying what other, more superior groups nearby were doingalbeit to a much shittier degree,' Farber said. 'They sucked. You should see the useless mess of a calendar these dumbasses came up with.' 'Uh, hello?' he added. 'Did these nimrods even try observing and recording the positions of the constellations in the sky right above their freaking heads?' Prominent archaeologists have identified this artifact as 'some terrible shovel tool that can't dig for shit.' Explaining that the site is of absolutely no consequence to archaeological scholarship, Farber told reporters the civilization's extensive aqueduct system was so hilariously inefficient its inhabitants were practically drinking mud. 'And look at these piece of shit pipes they played music on,' said Farber, holding up several hollowed-out bones found at the site. 'Flutes. Fucking flutesnot even one goddamn drum, by the wayand they make this god-awful, horribly shrill sound. Can you imagine how painful it must have been when a bunch of these dumb-dumbs were all going at it with their little pipes at the same time?' The 'Dipshits,' as Farber and his team have named them in a forthcoming paper in the American Journal Of Archaeology, are believed to have descended from tribes migrating south from Mesoamerica, but according to the study, their Olmec and Mayan contemporaries 'could have shit better pottery and stonework than these guys made.' 'I don't think we're even going to waste our time deciphering the Dipshits' written language,' Farber said. 'What do we have to gaina better understanding of their asinine agricultural methods or some insight into their boring-as-hell daily lives? Give me a break.' An ancient ceremonial headdress, believed to belong to the ruler of the civilization, is reportedly the only artifact from the site that has captured the interest of the scientific community. However, the find was only deemed worthwhile after one of the archaeologists donned the feather diadem while prancing around and shouting, 'Duh! Look at me, I'm King Fuckstick, Leader of the Numbskulls!' Anthropologist Emily Sturgess, an expert on ancient religious ceremonies, said the evidence discovered by Farber's team suggests a belief system far lamer and stupider than any she has ever come across. 'Many of the statues they've recovered depict a deity in the form of a truly stupid-looking anthropomorphic cornstalk,' Sturgess said. 'And they seem to have made a series of blunders while constructing their massive sun temple, because each summer solstice the solar rays miss the opening at the top of the structure by a good two feet. Just unbelievable jackasses, these people.' Though the team excavating the site is rapidly cataloging evidence of the civilization's humiliating shortcomings, sources said it remained uncertain exactly how this society of rejects met its end. 'Our best guess is that these boneheads just lost interest in their completely forgettable culture, wandered off, and accidentally fell into volcanoes or burned to death in one of their ridiculous fire-dance rituals,' said research fellow David Reagan, smashing an asymmetrical clay bowl on a nearby rock. 'Or maybe they all went blind staring at one of those precious solar eclipses they seemed to be so goddamn fond of predicting. Really, though, who cares?' 'I think we're probably just going to cover all of this back up,' Reagan added.

2	Michelle Obama Exposed For The Pervert That She Really Is... What A Hypocrite Earlier this month, Michelle Obama accused Donald Trump of sexual assault during her speech in Manchester, New Hampshire. It didnt take long for Rush Limbaugh to blast Michelle for attacking Trump for his locker room talk, after she publicly invited rappers and pop starts to the White House, whose lyrics are far more degrading than anything Trump had to say. Its not locker room talk. I dont know men who talk that way. Decent men do not talk that way. What Trump was talking about was sexual assault, Michelle said. Rush didnt let that one slide. Men brag, and she is telling people that she doesnt know men who brag. You know the people that have been to the White House? Rush said. How about some of the rappers that talk about their b***** and their hoes have performed such lyrics in the White House? But she doesnt know men who talk and sing about sexual assault. Its all over hip-hop lyrics and has been for a while! So is assault on the police a feature of some hip-hop lyrics, and its been performed at the White House. But she doesnt know men who talk that way. She doesnt know decent guys who talk that way. If you look closer at the lyrics of, say Beyonce, one of Michelles friends, you will see she doesnt seem to be offended by this raunchy language: o Can you lick my Skittles, its the sweetest in the middle / Pink is the flavor, solve the riddle And yet, Michelle has deemed Beyonce a role model. 
1	Following an interview this morning during which job applicant Joshua Meyer described his admiration for the way Incite Analytics integrates a creative mindset with a business-minded approach, sources within the local marketing firm said they were completely blown away by the prospective employees extensive knowledge of the companys About Us webpage. I have to say, Joshua seemed to have a really firm handle on our values and goals as a company, said human resources manager Rebecca Clifton, admitting that she was also pretty floored by Meyers ability to name the exact year the firm was founded and where its original headquarters were located. He referred to us as a pioneer in the digital marketing industry and was aware that we help our clients maximize opportunities in a changing media landscape. He even knew about our core partnerships with market leaders like Acquia and Target. All around, hes a pretty remarkable candidate who really seems to understand what we do here. Clifton added that Meyer further managed to knock her socks off by providing short biographies of each member of the companys executive leadership team. 
3	One Last Look At The Real Economy Before It Implodes - Part 6 - SolutionsBy Brandon Smith In the past, I have likened the liberty movement to a rebellion against not just tyrants but the game itself a group of people willing to walk away from the chess board and make their own rules. I stand by that assertion. However, simply walking away is not enough; we must also be willing to take actions that will destroy the game entirely. In order to accomplish this task, any rebellion against corruption of power must be self-critical more self-critical of its own weaknesses than opposing propagandists could ever be. Most of our problems as a society are being caused by a relatively small number of elitists, but we will never be able to undo these problems without understanding our weaknesses as much as the enemys weaknesses. In this final installment of my six-part series, I will talk about REAL solutions to the inevitable economic implosion in front of us, but I will also discuss the shortcomings of the liberty movement as an obstacle to the success of those solutions. As noted in Part 5 of this series, segments of the liberty movement have fallen into a trap of biased assumption, namely a gullible embrace of the false East/West paradigm. I find it a little sad at times when I come across freedom activists who worship the footsteps of Henry Kissinger/International Monetary Fund puppet Vladimir Putin, or those who cheer for a globalist petri dish like China, all because they hate American imperialism so much they have decided out of reactionary fervor to cheerlead for the lesser of two evils. There is no difference between those who buy into the false East/West paradigm and those who buy into the false Left/Right political paradigm. There is no good guy in the world of geopolitical maneuvering. East or West, it is all irrelevant primarily because both sides serve the same international interests. Those who refuse to recognize this fact will find themselves utterly incompetent in terms of presenting practical solutions. One cannot defeat the game if one plays by the unfair rules of the game. Another issue within the liberty movement is an inability by some to consider where the globalist ideal will actually lead. I know very well that there are 1,001 theories out there as to what the globalists actually want to achieve, which is why I personally look at the evidence at hand. The best available evidence is the evidence the elites openly ADMIT to, as they are apt to do in random fits of arrogance. It is important to understand that the elites often cannot help themselves and are desperate to boast of their activities before said activities are a forgone conclusion. Some analysts in recent history have presented undeniable admission by the elites, yet some activists still bicker about the enemys intent. Whether it be the surprising words of insiders like Carroll Quigley, or the in-depth investigations of Antony Sutton, or the quotable quotes of frothing Fabian socialists, there is indeed a distinct strategy in play and this strategy is hidden in plain sight; the strategy of order out of chaos. And in terms of economics, there is an openly admitted goal, namely the integration of national currencies into a single global basket system (the special drawing rights, or SDR) controlled by the IMF and the Bank for International Settlements. I do not believe this is the goal; I KNOW this is the goal because the elites have for decades openly admitted to it in articles like Get Ready For The Phoenix published by the Rothschild-owned The Economist in 1988, which stated that a global currency system will be established under the auspices of the SDR by 2018. Further information on the plan for global economic reset can be found in my article The Economic Endgame Explained. As I have shown with ample evidence throughout this series, the U.S. is on the verge of fiscal collapse, the dollar is already in the process of losing its world reserve status, the East is just as subservient to the reset plan as the West, and all of this is in preparation for an engineered disaster that will anesthetize the masses and prepare them for a shift toward total centralization. Solutions require us to first grasp the fundamental nature of the greater threat. The cold, hard truth is that we as a movement for freedom are alone in the fight against globalization. There are no nation states to fall back on. There is no safe region on the planet to run away to. No white knight is coming to our rescue, and any embrace of the East will end only in co-option and defeat for liberty activists. Believe it or not, though, I am still an optimist. Knowing the scale of the threat gives clarity to our response. The movement stands alone, therefore, we must act without naively waiting for outside aid. We must take on an attitude of self-reliance. The gravity of our situation also reveals to us what solutions actually have merit and which solutions present false hopes. I have seen numerous attempts at silver-bullet solutions in the movement over the past decade, from useless and intangible crypto-currencies to pyramid schemes designed to generate enough revenue to sue the Federal Reserve to blind armed marches on Washington planned by tactically retarded spokesmen to even more national election drives wasting even more money and more energy on candidates that may mean well but have no chance at defusing the economic time bomb already ticking away. If the solution presented seems too easy, then it is probably nonsense. If someone is trying to sell you on the idea that no sacrifice, no struggle and no pain will be required to defeat globalism, then they are probably a con man trying to take something from you, whether it be your money or your common sense. Throughout history, the only real solutions to real problems economic, social or political require much pain and sacrifice. To change the world for the better, to fight for the truth, you must be willing to take risks up to an including risking your life, otherwise failure is guaranteed. I do not believe in silver-bullet solutions. I do not believe there is a path of least resistance. The following methods are not academic. They are not philosophical. They will not appeal to the egghead libertarian portion of the movement, obsessed with theory rather than practice. And they will not appeal to self-proclaimed pacifists terrified of consequence and public perception. These are difficult actions requiring the will to endure. Every response listed here is a response I am applying in my own community, and I would not suggest a solution that I would not undertake myself. Localism If you want to undermine a concerted campaign of globalization, you must generate an opposing system. The opposite of tyranny is voluntarism. The opposite of collectivism is individualism. The opposite of globalism is localism. Localism is economic organization based upon the methodology of self-reliance. While globalism forces people, cities, states and countries to become interdependent and unable to survive or prosper without each other, localism brings internal economic stability and removes dependency. If all communities were based on localism and independent fiscal strength, such redundancy would make widespread financial collapse a thing of the past. While globalism is a top down model in which all decisions and power bottleneck at the peak of the pyramid, localism is a bottom up grass-roots initiative completely voluntary in nature. It is a methodology in which no one has power over the lives of others. That said, in order for localism to become a reality, these things must be accomplished first Real Preparedness Self-reliance requires preparedness. There is no way around it. There is no such thing as crisis for those who are prepared. This means placing oneself in a position to provide the necessities of life so that one does not become a slave to need. Desperation often leads to moral relativism, and tyrants thrive on the moral weakness of a population. The more prepared an individual is, the more likely he is to fight back against despotism. The more prepared a community is, the less that community will feel inclined to request aid from those who might leverage such aid to oppress that community. Preparedness can also in some cases include commodity investment by individuals and networks of individuals. While beans, bullets and Band-Aids are a priority, no one can deny the trend of foreign central banks stockpiling precious metals. And this stockpiling is clearly being done as a parallel measure to de-dollarization and the rise of the SDR basket. Metals are useful during windows of time just before collapse and after rebuilding has begun. They are a back-up. They are not a solution by themselves. Real Production Americans, in particular, will have to become producers again. And by production I mean useful items, useful skills and useful ideas, rather than frivolous attempts to sustain our avarice and empty materialism. Do you have the skills to produce food, clean water, shelter, warmth or energy? Are you able to invent or reimagine useful tools? Can you repair useful items? Do you have any experience with hard labor whatsoever? If you have answered in the negative to these questions, then you have a lot of work ahead of you to learn what you can in the time we have left. If you were to approach a group of people today and try to convince them of your value as a producer, what would you tell them? If you were thrust into an economic system in which barter was the primary means of wealth circulation, what would you trade that people would actually want? It is not about being communally useful, but it is about supply and demand. What can you provide that is commonly in demand during faltering fiscal conditions? This is not necessarily a call for Americans to revert back to 18th century living; it is a call for Americans to reclaim their heritage of entrepreneurship and adaptability. Globalism is merely feudal mercantilism wearing a modernized mask. It is globalism that is taking us back to the Dark Ages. And only localism can bring us into a future where technical achievement works for the common man rather than against him. Real Community Humans are social beings, but there are healthy forms of social organization, and unhealthy forms. At this stage in our society, collectivism has nearly decimated all vestiges of true community. Today, people have no clue who their neighbors are and most of them do not want to know. They have little to no interaction with their surroundings beyond superficial consumerism, and they see every other person around them as a competitor rather than an ally. Their idea of the greater good is a mentally deranged one. For them, the state is the root source of safety and communal coherency rather than the citizenry, and the people around them are not to be trusted. Collectivism isolates people from each other to the point that their only means of feeling a connection with their fellow man is to do so through support of the establishment control grid. Participation in the totalitarian framework becomes a shallow replacement for participation in the world around us. By paying taxes, blindly supporting a war, giving to impotent international charities and voting once every two to four years in the farcical election process, we fool ourselves into believing we are a part of a team and that our civic duty has been fulfilled. This terrible cycle can be broken, but it takes the effort of individuals going out and actively building relationships with others of like mind off the grid, so to speak. The liberty movement in particular should be forming groups and associations all over the country not just to complain about the condition of the nation, but to take tangible actions. Mutual aid and barter groups, neighborhood watches and community preparedness teams, business ventures and engineering projects are all useful means of organization. These organizations will not form themselves. YOU must make them happen. Real Self-Defense As I discussed in my article If You Are Not Thinking Tactically You Are Not A Survivalist, self-defense is an imperative that simply cannot be denied. This defense must include preparation for all enemies, foreign and domestic, and corrupt government is not excluded. Economic collapse is very often followed by an increase in oppressive state power. And in the end, the establishment does not relinquish power over the citizenry unless it is forced to do so. Because of this reality, all honorable people should endeavor to become dangerous people, the more dangerous the better. Voices expressing nihilism and futility in self defense are rarely constructive and should be ignored. Frankly, I find such cowardice stomach churning. There may very well come a day in which you will have to decide between freedom or absolute slavery. The size, strength and technological advancement of the enemy should have NO bearing whatsoever on the choice to fight for freedom; it should only have bearing on the applied strategy. Again, there is no problem without a solution if you have the courage to seek it. I hope that my joint project with Oath Keepers on how to build a working thermal evasion suit, due to be released in the next few weeks, will provide a good example as to why a technologically advanced tyranny is still vulnerable to a resourceful citizenry. Real Grass-Roots Expansion There has always been a lot of talk within the liberty movement of nullification. But ultimately, the philosophy of nullification is useless unless it comes from a position of strength. Federal overreach will not stop simply because a state happens to pass a bill denying the establishment full access. Here in Montana, medical marijuana legalization was crushed by the Feds despite state recognition. They simply marched in and arrested on drug charges anyone who dared open up shop, and the state did nothing to stop it. This is just one example of many in which nullification failed because people refused to accept that written law is meaningless unless it is backed by a vigilant public. Words on paper alone have never stopped the ascendance of totalitarians. I suspect that as the overall economic implosion becomes more obvious to average people, there will be some counties and states that develop a desire for nullification on a grand scale. Americans will want resource implementation to provide wealth protection. And some states have more than enough resources to offset a national financial disaster, or at least stop that disaster at their borders. This would require the complete dissolution of numerous federal laws prohibiting resource development. Such dissolution will not be successful unless counties and states have enough strong grass-roots communities in place to defend against federal intrusion or at least make the idea so costly and prohibitive that they have second thoughts. Each smaller liberty group linking with other liberty groups can eventually create this kind of expansion. This is, of course, a best-case scenario. County and state organization should take a backseat to neighborhood and town organization until wider expansion becomes realistic. Strong counties and states begin with strong individuals, strong neighborhoods, and strong towns. The collapse itself could easily be prolonged through a series of smaller catastrophes; or it could happen in a matter of days, depending on the trigger. For now, it appears that the U.S. is to be worn down to nothing as the IMF works closely with the BRICS to promote the SDR basket system. All nations will be negatively affected by this shift, but some will be hurt far more than others. War is certainly a possibility and would make for great cover as the IMFs global reset is enacted. I cant speak much to this kind of event other than to say that regardless of what happens, the IMF and the BIS will remain neutral, waiting until the conflict subsides so that they can step in as heroes ready to rebuild the world. The liberty movement must also be ready to rebuild, and our ideal must be fully formed if we are to compete with the globalists. The most difficult reality of all is the reality that economic implosion is only the end of one struggle and the beginning of a new struggle. Our responsibility will not only be to fight against the machinations of elitists, but also to convince the world that the way of independence and freedom is more useful and preferable than the way of collectivist peasantry. Collapse is already upon us; now we must decide who will determine what happens next. You can read more from Brandon Smith at his site Alt-Market.com, where this article first appeared.

3	All Lives MatterBy Julie Borowski 
1	A new report has revealed that when it comes to the important matter of owing large sums of money, Americans display a level of expertise and proficiency unrivaled throughout the world. 'Americans not only excel at accruing massive amounts of debt, but they also show an extraordinary talent for failing time and again to pay off these debts,' the not unexpected report read in part. 'Their ability to consume well beyond their means, disregard all signs of approaching financial ruin, and then sit there like a fat duck waiting for solutions to appear is truly remarkable. Few nations achieve such excellence in one singular aspect of life. Bravo, America.' The report concluded that Americans are also second to none when it comes to defaulting on long-overdue loans, be they from individuals, banks, or great and powerful nations that have absolutely no qualms about making others regret their foolish mistakes for generations to come. 
2	Muslim Terrorist Tried To Hijack A Plane And Then Something Amazing Happened According to recent reports, in the beginning of this year a black American Muslim reportedly dressed up like a woman in a burqa to carry out a major crime. The man had two knives strapped to his legs when it attempted to board an airplane. Of course, for whatever reason, the media did not deem this event newsworthy. Hashim Hanif Ibn Abdul-Rasheed, the man in question, reportedly attempted to board a plane in Columbus, Ohio but was flagged for acting in a way that was consistent to the behavior of a terrorist. As a result, Abdul-Rasheed was not allowed to board. He then left the airport but was confronted by police in the parking lot. At that point, his true identity was revealed after he attacked officers with a knife. He was quickly shot. Now, authorities are saying that the public has not heard of the incident because investigations were taking place. Still, it seems suspicious that this story would not immediately make headlines. What do you think of the incident? Is it the medias duty to be reporting on this? 
3	Bill Introduced to End Federal Marijuana Prohibitionselfnews Post This legislation doesnt force any state to legalize marijuana, but Colorado and the 18 other jurisdictions that have chosen to allow marijuana for medical or recreational use deserve the certainty of knowing that federal agents wont raid state-legal businesses, said Polis. Congress should simply allow states to regulate marijuana as they see fit and stop wasting federal tax dollars on the failed drug war. We are in the process of a dramatic shift in the marijuana policy landscape, said Blumenauer. Public attitude, state law, and established practices are all creating irreconcilable difficulties for public officials at every level of government. We want the federal government to be a responsible partner with the rest of the universe of marijuana interests while we address what federal policy should be regarding drug taxation, classification, and legality. States could choose to continue to prohibit marijuana production or use in their states and it would remain illegal to transport marijuana to a state where it is prohibited. The Marijuana Tax Equity Act would create the following framework: The congressmen have also co-authored a new report The Path Forward: Rethinking Federal Marijuana Policy. The document reviews the history of marijuana prohibition in the U.S., current conflicts between state and federal law, and outlines several opportunities to reform and clarify marijuana law at the federal level. 
1	Greyhound passengers accustomed to complimentary vomiting in the aisles will now be charged a $15 fee to do so, company representatives announced Monday. 'In order to better serve our customers in the future, we have instituted a small surcharge for those needing to empty their stomach down the center walkway,' said spokesman Don Randall, adding that once riders wipe themselves off, they can pay with any major debit or credit card. 'We recommend passengers wishing to avoid paying the fee puke on one of the chairs in the terminal beforehand.' Despite the new changes, Randall assured customers that masturbating under a bulky winter coat would always be free. 
3	Signed as Law: Ohio Takes on Asset ForfeitureBy Mike Maharrey Rep. Rob McColley (R-Napoleon) and Rep. Tom Brinkman Jr. (R-Cincinnati), along with 17 cosponsors, introduced HB347in 2015. Under current Ohio law, police can seize and keep cash and personal property on the mere suspicion that a crime was committed. But according to a report from Reason, passage into lawswitches the burden of proof from the defendant to the government to show why property is connected to a crime and bars civil forfeiture for amounts under $15,000. The new lawalso almost completely closes a federal loophole that allows prosecutors to bypass more stringent state asset forfeiture laws by passing cases off to the federal government under its Equitable Sharing forfeiture program. The House passed HB347 72-25 back in May. The Senate unanimously passed an amended version of the bill in December, and the House gave final approval 81-10. Ensuring that the government cannot take a citizens property without due process of law makes for smart policy and smart politics, Holly Harris, the executive director of the U.S. Justice Action Network said in a press release in Dec. Our polling found that 81 percent of Ohioans on both sides of the aisle agree that the government should not be able to take property without due process. Police and prosecutors regularly circumvent state restrictions on asset forfeiture by simply transferring cases to the federal government. Then, under a program known as Equitable Sharing, the state and local police still keep up to 80% of the value of what was forfeited under federal law. Ohio state and local law enforcement agencies raked in more than $80 million this way between 2000 and 2008. This is a major reason why the Institute for Justice gave Ohio a D- rating on forfeiture. HB347 closes this loophole in most situations. It specifically bans the use of this federal loophole for seizures under $100,000 in value. This represents a vast majority of cases. A law enforcement agency or prosecuting authority shall not directly or indirectly transfer or refer any property seized by the agency or authority to any federal law enforcement authority or other federal agency for purposes of forfeiture under federal law unless the value of the seized property exceeds one hundred thousand dollars, excluding the potential value of the sale of contraband, or the property is being transferred or referred for federal criminal forfeiture proceedings. The inclusion of provisions barring state and local law enforcement agencies from passing off cases to the feds is particularly important. In several states with strict asset forfeiture laws, prosecutors have done just that. By placing the case under federal jurisdiction, law enforcement can bypass the need for a conviction under state law and collect up to 80 percent of the proceeds from forfeited assets via the federal Equitable Sharing Program. In December 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice suspended the Equitable Sharing Program due to budget cuts, but it was resumed just four months later. California prosecutors and law enforcement agencies regularly utilized this loophole. The state closed it when Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB443 into law. As the Tenth Amendment Center previously reported the federal government actually inserted itself into the Californias asset forfeiture debate. The feds clearly want the policy to continue. Why? We can only guess. But perhaps the feds recognize paying state and local police agencies directly in cash for handling their enforcement would reveal their weakness. After all, the federal government would find it nearly impossible to prosecute its unconstitutional War on Drugs without state and local assistance. Asset forfeiture equitable sharing provides a pipeline the feds use to incentivize state and local police to serve as de facto arms of the federal government by funneling billions of dollars into their budgets. Asset forfeiture laws incentivize policing for profit on one hand, and dubious state-federal partnerships on the other.

1	Noting that tonights debate against Mitt Romney would last a full hour and a half, Vice President Joe Biden reportedly urged President Obama to rub one out so that he could get pussy off the mind before taking the stage at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Look, Barry, you need to keep your head in the game up there, and you sure as shit cant focus if youve got a full load flaring up inside you, said Biden, telling Obama he should feel free to think about the first lady, Jill [Biden], or whoever pops into your head while youre polishing the ol Capitol dome. Hell, I mustve yanked the crank a good eight or nine times before my debate with Sarah Palin back in 08and a few times after, too, if you catch my drift. At press time, sources reported seeing the president enter a private bathroom with Bidens rare and always reliable January 1979 edition of Playboy. 
1	National Rifle Association Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre said Monday that somewhere around 1,000 kids would have to die in a school shooting in order for the organization to reconsider their longstanding opposition to gun control. 'Yeah, that's probably the only way we'd reassess much of anything at this point: 1,000 dead kids, shot up pretty good, lying face down in the school auditorium or something like that,' LaPierre said, noting that anything less than 1,000 dead kids would not be enough for the NRA to stop urging Congress to pass pro-gun legislation. 'I mean, that's just a ballpark number, but I imagine seeing 1,000 or so body bags being wheeled out of a school and a whole town of crying parents would probably make us reflect on our values for at least a little bit.' 'So yeah, more or less 1,000 dead kids,' LaPierre added. 'Something around there. And teachers don't count.' In his 21st year leading the right-wing lobbying group, LaPierre reiterated that '350 or 470 dead kids or some low number like that' would have no impact on the NRA's belief that there should be more firearms on college campuses or that concealed carry laws should be more lax. In order to reconsider their position on the Brady Bill, this amount of kids multiplied by 200 would have to be shot to death in school. In addition, LaPierre added that while 800 dead kids in one school shooting would 'certainly be a little closer to the number we're talking about here,' ultimately that amount would, according to the NRA, constitute more of a society issue than a gun issue. 'For us to come anywhere close to reassessing our beliefs, it's gotta be one of those deals where a ton of kids get their heads blown off in school and there is one of those big, town-wide memorial services where they read off all the names of all the dead kids and you feel like, wow, that has to be somewhere around 1,000 names,' said LaPierre, adding that seeing pictures of all the dead kids in front of the 'pastor or whoever is doing the eulogies or whatever' might be a sobering enough visual for the NRA to reconsider whether it should be harder, not easier, to acquire firearms. 'And I think the shooter would also have to use around 30 different types of guns in the shooting in order for us to rethink what the Founding Fathers intended when they wrote the Second Amendment.' The former member of the American Conservative Union's board of directors further qualified his statement, adding that the NRA's response to 1,000 or so kids being mowed down by a school shooter would more than likely vary based on the age of the students, the school's demographics, and the extenuating circumstances of the situation as a whole. Though he didn't offer a reason why, LaPierre said 1,000 dead 14-year-olds is 'not even close to the same thing' as 1,000 dead 18-year-olds. 'If we're talking about one of those big high schools with 4,000 students then 1,000 dead ones aren't really even a drop in the bucket, you know?' LaPierre said, explaining that if an uzi-carrying 16-year-old only kills 45 percent of a school's total population, the NRA would still be more inclined to blame the shooting on poor parenting, and wouldn't consider soft gun laws to be part of the problem. 'Oh, and of course, if it's a giant state university or something like that then I'd imagine we'd need to see numbers closer to 8,000 dead kids before we really even begin to talk about potentially having a conversation about changing our philosophy.' 'And for argument's sake, let's say it's a situation where 999 people die and the 1,000th person is just the school shooter blowing his brains out,' LaPierre continued. 'Do you honestly expect me to take that seriously? To me, that seems more like an isolated incident that shouldn't really impact everyone's rights, you know?' While some believed that LaPierre's remarks finally indicated a slight loosening of the NRA's pro-gun stance, LaPierre was forced to clarify his comments after his membership criticized him for introducing the idea that a playground full of bullet-riddled dead kids might cause the NRA to reconsider their position on gun control if even for a second. 'At the end of the day, I want to make it very clear that the NRA is in absolutely no rush to change anything,' LaPierre later said in a written statement. 'One thousand dead kids would have very little impact on us. Now if 50,000 kids died in a school shooting that might be a different story. Something around 50,000 to 80,000 dead kids. You know what, forget that. Maybe something closer to 250,000. Yeah, 250,000 dead kids.' 
2	Some Say This Proves Scalia Was Murdered The unexpected death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has raised some serious questions, especially given the fact that the Obama administration is already trying to use the tragedy to their advantage. Conspiracy theorists have been quick to investigate the issue, and a new shocking discovery has even skeptics raising their eyebrows. In two surfaced photographs, John Poindexter, the man who owns the ranch where Justice Scalia died, is shown standing next to President Barack Obama. Now, it is being revealed that Poindexter was a major donor to the Democratic Party. In the photographs, Poindexter was being honored for his service in Vietnam. The close connection to the Commander in Chief is extraordinarily suspicious, and is especially concerning since Poindexter was the man who found Scalias body. We need a Warren Commission-like federal investigation, conservative radio host Michael Savage commented. This is serious business. There was no medical examiner present, he continued. There was no one who declared the death who was there. It was done by telephone from a U.S. Marshal appointed by Obama himself. The question is, is it a conspiracy theory to ask questions that are so obviously in need of an answer, or is it just common-sense? And where is the common-sense both in the press and the Republican Party? What do you think? Do we need answers now? Does Scalias death deserve a proper investigation?

He has allegedly assassinated three major terror leaders in as little as 10 days. The long-range marksman has reportedly knocked off the ISIS leaders one-by-one in the Libyan coastal city of Sirte. Islamic militants overtook the city last year, the UK Daily Mail reports. Now, militants are searching the city for a man that locals are referring to as the Daesh Hunter. The Daesh Hunter is being credited with the death of Hamad Abdel Hady, an official in the Islamic States shariah court. He was shot dead on January 13. Another leader, Abu Mohammed Dernawi was taken down on January 19. The most recent assassination, however, was Abdullah Hamad al Ansari. Al Ansari was a commander from southern Libya. He was shot dead as he was leaving a mosque almost a week ago. Journalist Daniele Raineri has cautioned against jumping to conclusions about the sniper and his campaign, but rumors are already running rampant in the city. What do you think of the ghost sniper and his victories? 
3	Leaked Tapes Reveal John Kerry Admission That U.S. Was Pulling For ISIS In Syria, Russia Fighting TerrorBy Brandon Turbeville To be clear, Kerry did not state that the United States funded, directed, or directly supported ISIS, claims which are already easily documented by previously leaked documents and by simple facts on the ground, both circumstantial and otherwise. However, he did clearly admit that the United States knew ISIS to be growing in Syria but did nothing to stop or oppose it because the U.S. wanted to use it as a bargaining chip in order to make the secular, democratically elected President, Bashar al-Assad negotiate, which, of course, simply means stepping down and allowing a proxy president and Western-backed terror coalition to take his place. Kerry says in this clip: The reason Russia came in is because ISIL was getting stronger. Daesh was threatening the possibility of going to Damascus and so forth and thats why Russia came in. Because they didnt want a Daesh government. And they supported Assad. And we know that this was growing, we were watching, we saw that DAESH [the IS] was growing in strength, and we thought Assad was threatened.(We) thought, however. We could probably manage that Assad might then negotiate, but instead of negotiating he got Putin to support him. Sarah Abdallah (@sahouraxo) January 6, 2017 While Kerrys statement might not be the we control ISIS admission that many are looking for, it is important to note that Kerry is admitting to fighting on the same side as ISIS. After all, ISIS was fighting Assad. America was pushing against Assad, even threatening direct and open war against the Syrian government. Americas rebels were also fighting against Assad. At the very least, his statement is an admission that the U.S. and Daesh were on the same side and that the U.S. was pulling for Daesh in its battle against a secular peaceful government. Its also an admission that the State Departments ludicrous claims that Russia entered Syria merely to protect a dictator and expand its own empire as being completely and utterly false. Kerry clearly admitted that the reason Russia entered Syria was to prevent a Daesh government in Damascus. Would any reasonable person disagree with Russias goal? We think not. That being said, does this also mean that the U.S. did support a Daesh government in Damascus? After all, it wasnt the prospect of Daesh that Kerry was worried about, it was the prospect of a continued Assad government. In more simplistic terms, Russia wanted to prevent Daesh from taking over Syria while the U.S. wanted Daesh to continue its war on Assad so that Assad would step down. While not a complete admission of the direct control over ISIS (which has been documented repeatedly), Kerrys statements are nonetheless damning. As more and more evidence such as this is brought out and covered in the alternative media, more and more Americans will realize what Syrians already know that the United States is the creator and controller of ISIS and that the war in Syria is nothing more than Western imperialism. They will also come to realize that their corporate media is nothing more than a spokesman for the worst elements of our society banks, corporations, and, of course, the government.

I hope all this madness will change after January the 20th dont count on it.the establishment are sore losers. AND CITIZENS ARE PASSIVE, BRAIN-DEAD COWARDLY OWNERS OF 400 M GUNS ! I WANT THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN WHITE FOLK SHOT THEIR OWN FOR BEING TRAITORS! Isis is/was a goddes of ancient Egypt, must be why Kerry and the no-name potus of the Usurped Ztates always use the ISIL form, not wanting to invoke the goddess. We have suspected for four years that the US was betraying us. That is why we supported Russia in its actions to prevent the terrorists from taking over Syria. I hope that Trump will allow an investigation into the Obama Administrations support of terrorism and the corresponding criminal charges against Obama and his neocon assistants. Plz include the organization that pulls the strings of the alias, B.H. Obama. bye bye kerry see in a cell block soon i hope This article is well-written , logical and is able to prove the truth of the matter. The writer must indeed be Republican. I know this because Democrats are anything BUT well-written, or spoken, logical or able to provide evidence of truth in any matters of consequence. In fact, I would say they have a constant ongoing war on with the truth, which terrifies them. That being said, it is obvious that using, logic, explanations and truth have not served the purpose. And it never will with half the populace incapabable of accepting truth. Indeed, Obama understands this, and has deceived his own political party in the one way he needs to retain their support. He is well-spoken, written. He has been quite successful in using that ability to deceive not only his own political partys support, but in deceiving a great number of people all over the world. The problem- this deception is short-lived. Eventually, as in currently, this ability is not followed by the actions needed to support his words. It is discovered that he I saw a fraud amongst all except his political party who never understood his words to begin with. This is why he so needs to become the worlds dicktator. Then he will not need the support of anyone!!! He will remain in power, no matter what anyone thinks for the duration of his life!!! He will be what he already believes himself to be. Above all humans-superior and unquestionable to anyone and everyone. Which is why he refuses to answer questions about his birth, Russian hacking, his faith and all the other lies told, which are innumerable. Being Americas president is not and was not his goal. Becoming the secretary-general, dicktator of the world was and is. We are just being punished for his acting in that position before he was actually appointed. An action for which he himself caused his disqualification for the job. He still has an eye to become that person and will use America, indeed cause the full destruction of, to attain that goal. Whether or not he has to cause the death of the current leader in HIS position, is not clear. However, we can prevent this by finally growing some balls, exposing his treason and carrying through will trying him, convicting him and removing him from destroying not only America, but other foreign nations victim to his power as president of the US. This is most probably our last chance to finally stand up and take action for the good of all who cherish freedom and the ability to use their own intellect to guard from evil- from one who openly states that everyday humans are incapable of taking care of themselves and making good decisions for their lives. I can and do want to make my own decisions and do not need or want an evil, deceiving satanist to do this for me. Intellect, trust and good decisions are possible-let us use these tools to remove his grasp from around our necks before he kills us off!, I do not want our children to endure life under his tyranny!!! 
1	Scottie Reuss, 22, a longtime employee of Merlin's Magicland, has not been as interested in magic or customer service as he was before his March 27 virginity loss, coworkers reported Monday. The recently deflowered Reuss. 'Scottie's been working here almost three years, and he's always been responsible,' said Sol 'Merlin' Horowitz, owner of Merlin's Magicland, located in the Holiday Plaza strip mall. 'But these past few weeks, he just hasn't been himself. It's almost as if serving the needs of the Orange County magic community is no longer his top priority.' In addition to failing to re-lock the sword cabinet twice and calling in sick for the first time in his tenure at the store, Reuss has been markedly less enthusiastic about demonstrating tricks to customers over the past three weeks. 'Heck, I've been in the business 34 years, and Scottie could show me new places to hide a ping-pong ball,' said regular customer 'Amazing' Al Rondelle. 'But the last time I went in there, he acted like he couldn't care less about incredible shrinking dice and color-changing ropes. He just rang up my purchases and waved me out the door.' Described by acquaintances as 'not all that socially skilled,' Reuss lost his virginity at the party of friend Justin Verkilen. Drunk on Malibu and orange juice, Reuss abandoned his usual method of socializingapproaching guests and asking them for a coinand joined some non-magic-related conversations. At approximately 2:30 a.m., Reuss and Verkilen's cousin, Karla Eddy, found themselves alone in the computer nook, where 'one thing led to another.' 'As Karla and I sat together on the steps outside, watching the sun come up, she informed me that she has a boyfriend,' Reuss said. 'But we made a vow not to regret anything that happened that night. I know I sure haven't.' Coworker Glenn Honig, 25, said he noticed something different about Reuss the minute he walked into work the following Monday. 'I was dying to tell Scottie about this amazing new dove cage, but all he wanted to talk about was this great party he went to,' Honig said. 'Is this the same guy who, the week before, went ballistic when I confused a deck of clairvoyance cards with some sleight-of-hand cards?' One of the most significant changes, coworkers say, involves the amount of time Reuss spends at the magic shop. 'Scottie's shift ends at 5, but he always used to stay later,' said Jonathan Friel, 17. 'Lots of times, he'd still be there when it was time to close up at 8 because we'd gotten into a heated argument about whether Penn and Teller are doing more harm than good for the magic community.' Friel also noted that, on several occasions in the past few weeks, Reuss was unreachable when his help was needed. 'Last Saturday, I left messages for Scottie at his house and on his cell phone to find out what kind of matchbox was best for training crickets. He never got back to me,' Friel said. 'The next day, he comes in with a haircut, and he's wearing new clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch. I've got Ivan The Illusionist breathing down my neck about his back order and Scottie's out shopping? What the hell?' Though Reuss used to make excuses to avoid group social events, he has been seeking them out of late. 'Scottie was always up for coming over to my house and teaching me how to use a hopping casino coin or a stiff rope,' said best friend and fellow magic aficionado Andrew Welch. 'Now, he just wants to go to parties. He's all, 'Is anyone having a party this weekend? We should go to that bar we went to on New Year's Eve. There were cute girls there.' God, Scottie, get a life.' Welch said Reuss has also lost interest in his own budding magic career. 'Scottie and I have been bouncing around the idea of doing a public-access show together called Dueling Magicians,' said Welch, 23. 'But last week, he said he's too busy to do it. Busy doing what? Getting drunk and having sex with complete strangers?' 'With [the recent success of] Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter, we're looking at a total resurgence of the entire industry,' Welch continued. 'Now is a great time [to pursue a career in] magic, but Scottie's completely blowing it. I'm not worried, though. Sooner or later, he'll come to his senses. He'll realize that getting laid is temporary, but magic is forever.'

1	According to sources, Evanston resident Danny Vebber, 16, will insert a coin later this afternoon. Though not confirmed, it is believed the coin will be dropped into a Mortal Kombat II video game machine. 'Danny's planned coin insertion does not surprise me,' Northwestern University professor of sociology Herman Janks said. 'The average 16-year-old boy spends the majority of his day inserting coins, whether it be into video games, soda machines or cigarette dispensers. And when these teens aren't inserting coins, they're usually busy looking for more coins to insert.' According to Janks, by the time a boy like Vebber turns 17, he will have inserted more than 31,000 coins into some 4,800 slots. 
2	Obama Says No To Hillary In 2016, See Who Hes Supporting Instead According to recent reports, President Obama is taking the Obama-Clinton feud to the next level, telling sources close to him that hes leaning in favor of Senator Elizabeth Warren for president in 2016 instead of Hillary. Although Obama has been relatively quiet about the upcoming election, he has voiced concerns that Hillary Clinton may attempt to undo several of his policies. According to the same source, Obama is leaning in favor of Warren because she is more liberal. As you may remember, Warren gained national attention back in 2012 when she defeated Senator Scott Brown. Valerie has told Warren that Obama is prepared to throw a great deal of money and organizational support behind her, a White House official claims. What do you think? Who would be a worse presidentWarren or Clinton? 
3	New Reports: Possible Israeli Bombing On Lebanese-Syria BorderBrandon Turbeville These raids allegedly took place near Nabi Sheet, a remote Lebanese village in Bekaa Valley. There were no claims as to what the initial target of the attacks may have been. However, it is being reported by AP that Hezbollah has a strong presence in Bekaa Valley and border regions have served as entry points for Hezbollah into Syria in order to assist Syrian government forces in much the same way that terrorists are crossing the northern border of Turkey into Syria. It should be pointed out, of course, that Hezbollah forces were invited into the country in order to help establish order. In the face of these reports, the Lebanese military is denying that there is any evidence that the strikes have taken place. A Lebanese army spokesman did state that the military is investigating these claims. The head of the Nabi Sheet Municipality, Jaafar al-Musawi, told Al-Jadeed TV of Lebanon that there was no airstrike. We heard warplanes followed by explosions, it could be along the border with Syria, he said. Most of the claims of witnesses regarding an aerial strike are based upon civilians who heard explosions but were unsure of what they were. Still, while the evidence regarding the alleged bombing is still very much out, it is important to remember that Israel has launched attacks against Syrian forces and military convoys on at least five different occasions during the course of the current crisis. In addition, it is generally understood that Israel was responsible for an attack on a shipment of missiles that were on their way from Syria to Lebanon in October of last year, although the exact location whether on Syrian or Lebanese soil is still uncertain. This situation is obviously something that continues to be monitored. Recently by Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

1	NASCAR took direct and immediate action Wednesday in response to homophobic slurs made by driver Kyle Busch last weekend, levying an award of $50,000 to the popular Sprint Cup star. NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said he had reviewed the incident, in which Busch was caught on videotape uttering several common antigay words and phrases after Saturdays Sprint All-Star race, and found Busch's conduct 'insensitive, uneducated, unenlightened, and in keeping with the finest traditions of stock car racing.' 'This perfectly exemplifies what NASCAR is all about,' Potson told reporters. 'We believe that Mr. Busch's ignorant comments are reflective of our organization as a whole and, furthermore, that Mr. Busch is the personification of the sort of family-oriented everyday American values for which our sport is known.' Congratulation, Kyle, Poston added. I thank you. NASCAR thanks you. Its fans thank you. And I hope there are many more derogatory slurs against homosexuals to come. Top NASCAR public relations and fan-outreach personnel will reportedly meet with Busch before Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 to present him with an official letter of commendation and a check for the full amount of his award. The incident in question transpired following Saturdays race, in which Busch finished second to Carl Edwards after starting from the pole position. TV cameras caught Busch calling Edwards by a common three-letter antigay epithet in the victory lane, and when Edwards' fans objected, Busch addressed the crowd with similarly homophobic phrases. According to officials and fans on the scene, the agitated Busch then used various disparaging anti-homosexual terms to refer to Edwards' crew chief, car, and sponsors; used many of the same slurs when describing his own underperforming No. 18 Toyota; and even turned his sexual-orientation-based pejorative language on himself, saying that his yellow M&Ms racing coveralls made him look like 'a fucking queer.' Once Kyle made those hurtful remarks, our offices notified him immediately, congratulated him, and ordered him to make a statement of apology for not yelling even more antigay epithets, said NASCAR code of conduct chairwoman Wendy Opperman, adding that if Busch had continued his bigoted tirade, NASCAR would have awarded him an additional $50,000. In fact, because of the sensitive nature of this case, we watched the tapes multiple times to make sure we correctly logged all the times he said fucking faggot. We wanted to be certain Mr. Busch got the reward he deserved. Going forward, we do worry Mr. Busch will have a tough time handling his image, Opperman continued. Hes not just a driver anymore. To the NASCAR community, hes a hero. Feeling pressure to respond to the publicity generated by Buschs remarks, NASCAR officials confirmed the driver would be the centerpiece of the organizations new Dont Be a Fag campaign, which urges young people to call each other antigay names whenever possible, especially during school. Furthermore, in order to cement NASCARs official position on the gay community, Busch's fellow drivers will reportedly join him in the minute-long advertisements, not just to show their support for the talented young racer, but to show that the sport is unified in its message. 'I think its a good thing for NASCAR to get out there and say, Its just plain wrong not to be a hurtful bigot, Sprint Cup Series veteran Tony Stewart said. 'Id like to think I'd have the courage to say what Kyle said out there Saturday. In fact, I'm pretty sure I would have. You've seen Carl Edwards' fruity little backflip thing he does, right? Pretty damn gay.' 'It's hard to believe there was a time when this kind of behavior was frowned upon in our sport,' Stewart added. 'I mean, I guess there really wasn't, was there? Yeah, didn't think so.' Not everyone in the NASCAR community is happy about the organizations recent glorification of Busch, with many saying hes only getting recognition because hes a star, and pointing out that tons of us say shit like that about faggots every day and no one cuts us a big check. Meanwhile, Busch himself is taking more of a philosophical view of events. 'I'm on probation now anyway for flipping off an official or swearing on the radio or in front of camera or some bullshit, so this 50 grand just kind of makes me and NASCAR even, Busch said. 'Man, I really wish those fags in Charlotte would quit tossing each other's salads and just let us do our thing when we're not at work, because the current code of conduct just sucks about a mile of cock.' Busch was then fined $50,000 for what NASCAR is calling 'an unprofessional and unwarranted criticism of the Sprint Cup Series and its rules and practices.'

2	Youll Never Believe Why These Thugs Tortured Nursing Home Patients According to recent reports, two women living in Georgia were recently accused of water boarding an elderly patient at a nursing home in Clayton County. The victim, 89-year-old Anna Foley, suffers from dementia. Reports note that Jermeller Steed and Cicely Reed, two nursing home employees, have been charged with engaging in an argument with Foley and then proceeding to lock her in a shower room. Allegedly, the two women also held Foley down against her will, using a shower curtain. In the warrant that has been issued for their arrest, a description portrays how Steed and Reed supposedly used a shower nozzle to spray water in Foleys face. The act violently obstructed her breathing, similar to waterboarding tactics. Luckily, another employee at the nursing home facility walked in on the incident, and was able to stop and report the womens behavior. 
1	COOPERSTOWN, NYThe Baseball Writers Association of America announced that the 'former Cincinnati Reds superstar' and 'quiet, unassuming model citizen' by the name of 'Pat Rosenburg,' whose career statistics merited Hall of Fame consideration, was revealed by investigators to be a desperate, mustachioed, glasses-wearing Pete Rose. 'When I looked at Pat Rosenburgs stats17-time All-Star, three batting titles, tied with Pete Rose for the career hits leadI had to wonder why this so-called Chuckie Hustle wasnt already in the Hall,' said Jayson Stark, who, along with other members of the BBWAA, was informed Wednesday of Pete Roses role in the Pat Rosenburg candidacy. 'Luckily for the integrity of the game, [Rosenburg] wasnt elected by voters anyway because he only had 160 career home runs.' Rose is expected to fervently deny the allegations that Pat Rosenburg was just him in disguise, as his upcoming tell-all autobiography, My Secret Life As Pat Rosenburg, does not hit stores until late July. 
2	Witness To Secret Meeting Between Clinton And Lynch Speaks Out Last week, former President Bill Clinton has a very suspicious meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the runway of Phoenixs Sky Harbor International Airport. This information was unsettling to millions of Americans, considering that Lynch will make the final decision on whether or not to charge Hillary Clinton after the FBI concludes their investigation into her illegal use of a personal email server. Both Lynch and Clinton claim that the meeting was social only, but a witness has just come forward with a very different story to tell. We were waiting for her plane to touch down at the executive terminal area of Phoenixs Sky Harbor where its best suited to control, a source told the New York Observer. Clintons plane was on the ground already. But he wasnt there. We had been hoping to get him out before she arrived, just to avoid too much traffic, the source continued. Their planes were 75 yards apart. We have a procedure we do to clear [space for] a motorcycle. As we were ready to receive her, I saw the other motorcade coming inwe were like great timing. The source went on to confirm that it was Clinton to initiated the meeting, by simply walking over to her plane. The fact ishe just started walking over, the source claims. I dont think it was pre-arranged. He just started walking overHe walked in her plane for at least 20 to 25 minutes and the FBI is standing face to face with the Secret Service and just chatting on the hot tarmac like, what the h*ll. What do you think of this new information? Are you tired of the Clintons lying to the American public? Weve had enough. 
2	Beloved Singer Betrays Trump, Refuses To Perform At Inauguration With an extremely liberal entertainment industry, Donald Trump has had trouble convincing artists to perform at his inauguration. Many believe they would be risking their careers in doing so. This week, Trump suffered yet another setback, just days before the ceremony takes place. Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Marie Osmond told Fox News she would perform at Trumps inauguration if she was asked. Now, after receiving immense pressure from liberals, Osmond is backing down from that statement. The famous performer even took to Twitter to say she never had any intention of performing. Many of you have seen various stories saying that I volunteered or that I am performing at the inauguration. So let me be clear! Osmond wrote. I had no intention of performing at this inauguration, no matter who won! Her full statement is below: Marie Osmond (@marieosmond) January 12, 2017 This comes just days after Osmond called on America to unite. I think when it comes to our country we need to unite, she told Fox News. I think we should all support our president whether were happy or sad. This is America. What do you think of Osmonds latest statement? Is this disrespect for our president truly tragic? 
3	22 Stats That Show How The Emerging One World Economy Is Absolutely Killing American WorkersMichael Snyder, Contributor Unfortunately, it was all a giant lie. Trading with other countries is not a bad thing as long as the level of trade is fairly equal on both sides. When trade becomes very unequal, the consequences can be absolutely catastrophic. Since 1975, the United States has bought more than 8 trillion dollars more stuff from the rest of the world than they have bought from us. We are the only economy on earth that could have had 8 trillion dollars drained out of it and still be standing. Instead of leaving the country, those 8 trillion dollars could have gone to U.S. businesses and U.S. workers. If we could go back and have a do over, how much more prosperous would we be today if we had kept that 8 trillion dollars inside the country? But instead of pursuing a balanced trade philosophy, our politicians were so enamored with the emerging one world economy that they threw all caution to the wind.So we have lost tens of thousands of businesses, millions of jobs and trillions of dollars of our national wealth. And this emerging one world economy is absolutely killing American workers. It lumps them into a global labor pool with workers in other countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages. Just think of it this way. Imagine that you are a giant corporation that makes widgets. You can make them in the United States, but you would have to pay your workers about $10 an hour, provide them with a whole bunch of benefits, pay very high taxes, and comply with a dizzying array of laws, rules and regulations. Which would you choose? The giant sucking sound that Ross Perot once warned us about has become a reality. Big employers are competing with one another to see who can outsource jobs the fastest, and American workers are the big losers in all of this. As I wrote about the other day, right now there are some American workers that are actually personally training their replacements from overseas how to do their jobs. If nothing is done about this, jobs are going to continue to pour out of high wage countries such as the United States and into low wage countries on the other side of the globe, and big corporations are going to keep laughing all the way to the bank as unemployment in America gets even worse. The following are 22 stats that show how the emerging one world economy is absolutely killing American workers. #1 One professor has estimated that cutting the U.S. trade deficit in half would create 5 million more jobs in the United States. #2 The United States has a trade imbalance that is more than 7 times larger than any other nation on earth has. #3 Overall, the United States has run a trade deficit of more than 8 trillion dollars with the rest of the globe since 1975. That 8 trillion dollars could have gone to support U.S. businesses and pay the wages of U.S. workers. Federal, state and local taxes would have been paid on that 8 trillion dollars if it had stayed in the United States. This is one reason why our national debt is getting ready to cross the 16 trillion dollar mark. #4 When NAFTA was passed in 1993, the United States had a trade surplus with Mexico of 1.6 billion dollars. In 2010, we had a trade deficit with Mexico of 61.6 billion dollars. #5 In 2001, American consumers spent 102 billion dollars on products made in China. In 2011, American consumers spent 399 billion dollars on products made in China. #6 The Chinese undervalue their currency by about 40 percent in order to gain a critical advantage over foreign competitors. This means that many Chinese companies are able to absolutely thrive while their competition in the United States goes out of business. The following is from a recent Fox News article. To keep Chinese products artificially inexpensive on US store shelves, Beijing undervalues the yuan by 40 percent. It pirates US technology, subsidizes exports and imposes high tariffs on imports. #7 According to the New York Times, a Jeep Grand Cherokee that costs $27,490 in the United States costs about $85,000 in China thanks to all the tariffs. #8 The U.S. trade deficit with China during 2011 was 295.4 billion dollars. That was the largest trade deficit that one nation has had with another nation in the history of the world. #9 Back in 1985, our trade deficit with China was only about 6 million dollars (million with an m) for the entire year. #10 U.S. consumers spend about 4 dollars on goods and services from China for every one dollar that Chinese consumers spend on goods and services from the United States. #11 The United States has actually lost an average of about 50,000 manufacturing jobs a month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001. #12 According to the Economic Policy Institute, America is losing about half a million jobs to China every single year. #13 The United States has lost more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001. #14 During 2010 alone, an average of 23 manufacturing facilities closed their doors in America every single day. #15 Since the auto industry bailout, approximately 70 percent of all GM vehicles have been built outside the United States. #16 As I have written about previously, 95 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession were middle class jobs. #17 According to Professor Alan Blinder of Princeton University, 40 million more U.S. jobs could be sent offshore over the next two decades if current trends continue. #18 The percentage of working age Americans that are employed right now is actually smaller than it was at the end of the last recession. #19 The average duration of unemployment in the United States is nearly three times as long as it was back in the year 2000. #20 Due in part to the globalization of the labor pool, only about 24 percent of all jobs in the United States are good jobs at this point. #21 Without enough good jobs, more Americans than ever before are falling into poverty. Today, more than 100 million Americans are on welfare. #22 In recent years the U.S. economy has embraced free trade and the emerging one world economy like never before. Instead of increasing the number of jobs in our economy, it has resulted in the worst stretch of job creation in the United States in modern history. If any single number captures the state of the American economy over the last decade, it is zero. That was the net gain in jobs between 1999 and 2009nada, nil, zip. By painful contrast, from the 1940s through the 1990s, recessions came and went, but no decade ended without at least a 20 percent increase in the number of jobs. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. You can get a really good idea of how nightmarish the manufacturing job losses have been in the United States over the past 40 years by checking out this map right here. And if everything posted above was not bad enough, some U.S. companies even find themselves competing with slave labor here in the United States. Seriously. Prison labor is absolutely destroying some businesses here in America. The following comes from a recent CNN article. Unicor is a government-run enterprise that employs over 13,000 inmates at wages as low as 23 cents an hour to make goods for the Pentagon and other federal agencies. With some exceptions, Unicor gets first dibs on federal contracts over private companies as long as its bid is comparable in price, quantity and delivery. In other words: If Unicor wants a contract, it gets it. One company that tries to compete with Unicor has been forced to lay off 150 people over the years because they lose so many contracts to them. Wilson has been competing with Unicor for 20 years. Hes an executive at American Apparel Inc., an Alabama company that makes military uniforms. (It is not affiliated with the international retailer of the same name.) He has gone head-to-head with Unicor on just about every product his company makes and said he has laid off 150 people over the years as a result. We pay employees $9 on average, Wilson said. They get full medical insurance, 401(k) plans and paid vacation. Yet were competing against a federal program that doesnt pay any of that. But this is also the kind of thing that U.S. companies are dealing with when they try to compete with big corporations that are exploiting cheap labor abroad. If you are spending ten times as much on labor as your competitor is, it is going to be really hard to survive. That is why it has become so hard to find products that are made in America. Most of our jobs these days are low paying service jobs, cushy government jobs or jobs where people push papers around all day. But those kinds of jobs do not create lasting wealth for a country. Did you know that there are more tax preparers in the United States than there are police officers and firefighters combined? Our economy is a giant mirage. We consume way more wealth than we produce, but we are able to keep the party going because we are riding the biggest debt spiral the world has ever seen. But at some point the debt spiral is going to end and the crash is going to come. Until then, however, those at the very top are still really enjoying themselves. For example, one of the latest trends is for rich kids to show off pictures of themselves enjoying their enormous wealth on Instagram. Something has gone very, very wrong with this country.

There! Thats the exact street where I threw up, a nostalgic Rosten told his passengers while passing through the Rawsonville neighborhood of Ypsilanti. That blue house is the house I threw up in. Nothing fancy, but a great place to throw up, you know? Rosten later cruised by the high school where he did a lot of throwing up in just four years. 
2	Howard Stern Smacks Down Obamas AntiWhat did President Barack Hussein Obama do after a crazed gunman murdered forty-nine unarmed people in Orlando? He politicized the tragedy, of course. Thats his favorite cowardly liberal thing to do. Somehow, Obama wants to use this horrible event as an excuse to take our guns away. Hello, Obamadidnt you stop to think about how many lives could have been saved if someone in the night club had a gun and could have shot this murderer dead before he completed his rampage? No, Obama cant think that logically. Radio host Howard Stern wasnt going to roll-over like the rest Obamas brainwashed flock. Maybe he understand how the real world works better than those hopers and dreamers do. He made his anger with Obamas anti-gun tirade crystal clear on his show on Wednesday. He explained why taking guns away wont make us any safer, a point which should be obvious to anyone with a half a brain. Said Stern in his usual colorful manner: Im so upset about Orlando and what went down, but I cant believe these people who come out afterwards and their answer to Orlando is to take away guns from the public. Its f***ing mind-blowing to me. The military and they dont mean it in a derogatory way but they look at the public as sheep. And we are sheep. Most of us sit around all day and we dont know how to defend ourselves. We basically think everythings okay. Except the wolves the bad guys, ISIS, or terrorists, homegrown or otherwise theyre wolves. The military and police look at themselves as sheepdogs. Theyre warriors, but on the good side. You nailed it, Howard! Americans need to stop being sheep and accept the realities of our present world. No more pathetic Democrats. America needs Trump! 
1	A small, somewhat spherical clay thing with various types of decorations on it was purchased Friday at the ninth annual Eugene Arts Festival, sources confirmed. The clay thing, which was covered in some sort of shiny glaze, was selected from a local artist's table that consisted of a number smaller and larger clay things, the majority of them also round. Reports indicated that in addition to the clay things, the display also included woven things, Native American things, and various hemp-pouch things. The little clay thing was purchased for $7. 'This is nice,' the clay thing's new owner John Tafferty said of the solid, two-pound object, which had been molded together to vaguely form a face, or possibly an ashtray. 'I like this one a lot.' 'It's neat,' he added. According to witnesses, Tafferty stared at, and held, a number of clay things before deciding on the little one he eventually purchased. Sources confirmed Tafferty was torn between two clay things, one with predominantly red paint on it and the other with blue paint. Tafferty ultimately settled on the blue-colored clay thing. 'This was a good find,' Tafferty said while holding the thing that has a couple tiny holes in it but is apparently not a whistle. 'I was thinking about buying one of the bigger ones for $20, but I figured that was a little too steep. I'm happy with this.' When asked what he would do with his new thing, Tafferty told reporters he was uncertain, but sources close to the 37-year-old speculated the clay thing would be placed either on the desk shelf above his computer, on top of his bedroom dresser, or next to the dish in which he puts his car keys and loose change after returning from work. However, other reports suggested the clay thing, which has this sort of yellow, molded flower thing coming out of it, could remain in a brown paper bag in the backseat of Tafferty's car for up to four months. 'I think my wife will like it,' Tafferty said. 'She likes things like this.' The Eugene Arts Festival, which runs through Sunday at the far end of the Fred Meyer grocery store parking lot on Division Avenue, consists of up to 30 thing-filled tables, and is a way for local artists to show off the glass, wicker, metal, vegan, wooden, small, large, oblong, and rectangular things they make. The little clay thing, which appeared to have several small leg-like protrusions but may or may not be able to stand on its own, had reportedly been on sale at two other arts festivals prior to its acquisition by Tafferty. Artist Emily Glonden, who made the thing, told reporters she enjoys making these types of things. 'I have some porcelain stuff, too,' Glonden said. 'All handmade. Take a look around. I can go as low as $25 on the [ceramic saucer- or dish-looking thing with a rotating swivel stick coming out of it].' 'It's one of my favorites,' she added.

1	Following a massive U.S. Department of Justice indictment alleging that high-ranking members of the global soccer organization conducted widespread financial fraud, sources confirmed Thursday that underpaid migrant laborers are currently working roughly 18 hours a day preparing FIFAs legal defense. We have reason to believe that dozens of malnourished, impoverished workers are being exploited by FIFA for their labor as they attempt to build a defense strategy for charges including bribery, money laundering, and racketeering, said Human Rights Watch spokesperson Reed Brody, noting that the laborers, who originate from countries including Bangladesh, Thailand, and Senegal, have been reviewing financial records and filing subpoenas for hours on end in a fetid, dimly lit boiler room inside FIFA headquarters. Some of those working to research relevant RICO cases are said to be as young as 14 years old, and we know of at least three cases of workers who died of exhaustion while preparing documents for pretrial motions. Of course, for all this grueling paralegal work, they are still only making a nominal 32 cents per hour. Brody added that human rights organizations are also investigating reports of a Nepalese man who disappeared the day after attempting to submit a guilty plea on behalf of an indicted FIFA official. 
3	US and China Caught Secretly Testing GMO Rice on ChildrenAnthony Gucciardi Currently under investigation by Chinese health officials, the research project was cracked wide open after Greenpeace reportedly corresponded with the Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention to expose the ongoing research. Currently, Greenpeace is calling for a stop to the trials which are reportedly continuing in the field. Citing health and environmental risks, Greenpeace says that the studies are taking place on roughly 24 children aged between six and eight years old. It has also been said that the parents likely were completely unaware or misinformed. The USDA seeks to examine the effects of the GMO rice on the young children, also known as genetically modified golden rice. Shortly after the news came out, Chinas version of Twitter exploded with outrage as Chinese government organizations went into overdrive to downplay the studies. A Tufts University PR spokesperson, the very university developing the rice, claimed to no knowledge of the event and decried it as inhumane and unethical. PR rep Andrea Grossman stated that the GMO rice creators had always placed the highest importance on human health: We have always placed the highest importance on human health, and we take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of human research subjects. One Chinese author indicated in the secret GMO rice trials, Shi-an Yin, was suspended from his work. The second claimed to have no idea the study was going on and was therefore not arrested or even suspended. For the USDA to be secretly testing genetically modified foods on young children while disregarding all calls for real analysis in the United States shows just how the agency is trying to hide. After all, why would you not perform trials out in the open if the results were so favorable? Likely because their previous secret tests were not favorable, and the agency is determining just how detrimental new GMO rice really is. Explore More:

'Whether wedged into the glass confines of his custom-made vehicle or placed, often unknowingly, on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, Pope John Paul was a stirring symbol of peace, beloved for being put on display before thousands of adoring followers,' Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said Thursday. 'While Pope John Paul II, the man, may have passed on, we must never forget what he, with the help of assistants gripping him by the upper arms, stood for.' To the faithful, Pope John Paul II was a figurehead who can never be replaced, except by whichever figurehead is chosen to stand in his place. 
1	EL SEGUNDO, CAToy company Mattel is under fire from a group of activists who say their popular doll's latest incarnation, CEO Barbie, encourages young girls to set impractical career goals. Mattel's controversial CEO Barbie. 'This doll furthers the myth that if a woman works hard and sticks to her guns, she can rise to the top,' said Frederick Lang of the Changes Institute, a children's advocacy organization. 'Our young girls need to learn to accept their career futures, not be set up with ridiculously unattainable images.' The issue was first brought to national attention by mother, activist, and office manager Connie Bergen, 36, who became concerned when her 5-year-old daughter received the doll as a birthday gift and began 'playing CEO.' 'Women don't run companies,' Bergen said. 'Typically, those with talent, charisma, and luck work behind the scenes to bring a man's vision to light.' She added: 'Real women in today's work force don't have Barbie's Dream Corner Office. More often than not, they have cubiclesor Dream Kitchens. I mean, what's next? 'Accepted By Her Male Peers' Polly Pocket?' Despite the growing furor over the doll, Mattel's top brass has indicated no plans to cease its production, insisting that the newest member of the Barbie family represents a positive role model for girls. 'Young girls can be anything they want. There is nothing standing in their way,' read a statement signed by Mattel CEO Robert Eckert, president Matt Bousquette, executive vice president Tom Debrowski, and CFO Kevin Farr. Said Bergen: 'I graduated cum laude from Radcliffe and have worked hard all my life, and my career doesn't look anything like Barbie's. Currently, there are only nine female CEOs in America's top 500 companies. To tell our daughters anything else is a lie.' [pagebreak] Figures released by the Changes Institute indicate that, although women make up 46 percent of the work force, a mere 15 percent are senior managers. Lang maintains that these facts don't square with the image of the career woman put forth by the doll. Said Lang: 'Any girl who thinks that she can run a large corporation when she grows up is in for a bitter disappointment, and it is simply shameful that Mattel would seek to cash in on impressionable young girls this way.' CEO Barbie comes with a number of accessories and environments, including the Super Barbie Conference Fun Table, Barbie's Company Dream Car and Underpaid Assistant Ken. But by far the most popular version of the doll has been the Talking CEO Barbie. 'This doll says things like, 'Did you get me those projections?' and, 'We need to cut our operating costs by 10 percent,'' Lang said. 'It is dishonest to dangle this carrot of success in front of our daughters' noses, when we know that the odds that a girl will grow up to order someone around are virtually zero.' Lang said he does not expect Mattel to recall CEO Barbie, but he wants to send a powerful message to the people in charge. 'When your daughter comes home crying because she was passed over for a promotion for the fourth time, what are you going to tell her?' Lang asked. 'It would be easier if she'd been raised with dolls like Glass Ceiling American Girl, Service Sector Bratz, or Maria The White House Maid.'

At the end of the day, its a locker room, so you definitely expect to see guys changing in there, but it still feels a little weird when Jerry comes out of the showers dripping wet and totally nude, said Laverty, adding that it is not uncommon for the 71-year-old to playfully snap towels at Cowboys players in the middle of postgame interviews with reporters. Hell stand there toweling off for 20 minutes, and then hell do a few laps around the locker room with absolutely nothing on, talking to different players and giving his thoughts on the game. Its very distracting. Laverty confirmed the situation has become increasingly awkward since he noticed that the discolored mole on Jones scrotum has been growing larger every week.

3	5 Healthy, Happy Tips To Welcome Autumn MonthsElizabeth Renter So many wonderful foods are in season in the Autumn. Soups and roasted vegetables can keep you warm and cozy while promoting good vision, heart health, and a strong immune system. Eating in season also supports local and organic farmers, and can save money. Do what you can to include these foods in your weekly diet: You cant go from complaining about the heat to complaining about the cold, or youll never leave the house. Put on your jacket and take a nightly walk, or enjoy the warm sunshine on an autumn afternoon. But get out! Fresh air does wonders for your physical and mental health, especially if you incorporate some forest bathing. Simply getting out can reduce your risk of depression! Since a coolness rests in the air, what better time to get into the green tea habit than during the autumn months? The benefits of green tea are more than plentiful, and I couldnt hope to list them all here. But, know that this awesome liquid boosts your cognitive function, decreases your risk of certain types of cancers, and promotes healthy fat loss. In the Fall, races are in full swing. Try a turkey trot or similar race this autumn with your family. You dont have to be a super-athlete, just be relatively fit and motivated. If running isnt your thing; walk it. Youll feel great and youll likely get a free t-shirt in the process. Its not too late to get the last of the summer-veggies at the farmers market. By preserving things like tomatoes, you can get the sweetness of locally grown summer produce when winter arrives, and you wont have to deal with the BPA in canned tomatoes or the store-bought produce that tastes like cardboard. Our ancestors, even a few generations back, lived according to the seasonsthey adapted their lives according to mother nature and they were healthier for it. They ate what was in season, and found activities that complimented nature. We encourage you to do the same during these autumn months. Explore More:

It worked! She moved back into the home within the week, and Edith no doubt removed the cause of the stink! Did Jake deserve this? 
1	Dave Willis, 24, a stock boy at Banjo's Food Ranch, was subjected to embarrassment above and beyond the usual humiliation of mopping, shelving, and parking-lot cart-collecting Monday, when he was forced to appear in the supermarket chain's latest in-house training video, Speak Up And Smile! A scene from a Banjo's Food Ranch training video, starring employee Dave Willis. 'It's bad enough that when I got hired here, I had to attend a demeaning, afternoon-long orientation session at which I was forced to watch these horrible videos,' a visibly dejected Willis told reporters after the dignity-stripping incident. 'But now, to add insult to injury, I've actually had to appear in one, as well.' The training video's 'Speak Up And Smile' theme was chosen by Banjo's Food Ranch upper management as a way to communicate the importance of a 'positive, customer-friendly attitude' to the chain's 1,650 employees at 40 locations throughout Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois. It remains unknown why Willis, along with 12 other first-shift employees at the supermarket's Cedar Rapids location, were selected to star in the video. 'I have no idea why they picked me. I guess I just happened to be working at the time. Who knows?' Willis said. 'All I know is, at the end of my shift, just as I was about to head out to the break area by the Dumpsters for a smoke, [assistant store manager] Keith [Crofford] told me I had to do this stupid video they were shooting, and that I'd better get my ass over to Aisle 10 pronto.' Upon arriving at the aisle, Willis was appalled to discover that he had been assigned a speaking role in the video and would be forced to deliver a chirpy, upbeat monologue advocating employee courtesy and friendliness while smiling and holding a mop. 'They didn't even pay me anything extra to do it,' Willis said. 'All they did was let me stay punched in on the clock for an extra hour until it was done.' Willis and a fellow employee are forced to demonstrate how much fun it is to do a good job. 'Matt, Pete, and the rest of the guys were totally giving me shit about it after work,' Willis said. 'All I can say is, I sure hope nobody I know ever gets hired at some Banjo's someplace and sees it. I'd never hear the end of it.' 'Aw, man,' he added. According to Banjo's Food Ranch sources, Willis' lines in the 14-minute video were: 'When I first started working here, I was afraid to smile and speak up to customers. But, luckily, I had a manager who challenged me to, as he put it, 'break the ice.' So, one day, I came to work with a new attitude, and I greeted every customer I saw. And you know what? It was fun!' At first, Willis attempted to distance himself from the demeaning script by mumbling his lines in a flat monotone. This tactic, however, was aborted when manager Mike Lazzo told him to 'say it like you mean it, Willis, or we'll be here until you do,' forcing him to project an air of joviality over the course of several deeply humiliating takes. The video was created, Banjo's Food Ranch officials said, to help enforce a new chain-wide policy requiring all employees to greet each customer they encounter with a smile and an 'acceptably enthusiastic verbal greeting.' Examples cited in the video include, 'Hello there!' 'Nice day today!' and 'How ya doin'?' The video also encouraged employees to 'personalize' their greetings to specific customers with such phrases as, 'Nice shirt!' 'What a pretty baby!' and 'I see you're purchasing some window cleaner today! How about some paper towels to go along with those?' In addition, the video informed workers that they would be penalized with write-ups from departmental shift supervisors if they failed to observe these mandatory-friendliness guidelines. 'I mean, shit,' Willis said. 'I don't think they should be allowed to make a guy do that when they're only paying minimum wage in the first place.' Banjo's Food Ranch has denied any mistreatment of Willis. 'When Dave became a part of the Banjo's family, he agreed to be a team player and put the good of the store and customer first. Pulling together with the rest of the team to make the store a better place is what this video and Banjo's Food Ranch are all about,' a press release issued by the chain's corporate headquarters read.

According to reports, Johnson commented that white people need to sacrifice themselves in order blacks to be equal in society. What its gonna take to dismantle white supremacy is white folks actually gotta give up something, she claimed. You have to actually sacrifice yourself. You have to be willing to give up the things that you currently benefit from. This attitude is exactly the type of thinking that escalates racial tensions in this country. This is not a zero-sum game. One person does not have to worsen their lives in order to improve the lives of others. As if that werent bad enough, Johnson then went on to blame America for the Black Lives Matter movement. White Americans have created the conditions that require a phrase like Black Lives Matter, she told reporters. Do you know how horrific it is to grow up as a child in a world that so hates you? While youre literally being gunned down in the street, while youre being rounded up and mass incarcerated and forced into prison slavery. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this attitude absolutely outrageous. 
1	An intensive monthlong investigation conducted by the color commentators, play-by-play announcers, studio analysts, sideline reporters, and other personnel tasked with televising the 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship tournament concluded that every participating player was simply an exemplary young man who deserved all the success in the world, broadcasters announced Monday. 'This is a spectacular group of exemplary young men, and the only sad part about the tournamentand it's a tragedy, reallyis that they can't all win,' CBS announcer Jim Nantz said Wednesday. 'The courage, the selflessness, the sheer character displayed by these young men is truly inspirational. It's truly inspiring to anyone who cares about the youth of today.' Nantz's Wednesday statement marked the 42nd time he had repeated those words during this year's tournament. According to broadcast sources, who undertook extensive reviews of every player on each team, every single student-athlete profiled was a truly remarkable youth. While almost all the categories used to evaluate players were intangible and included such qualities as cheerfulness, gumption, being unafraid of hard work, general goodness to be around, never-say-die attitude, and overall niceness, broadcasters found no players in the tournament who did not score 'top marks' in at least one. 'I was really impressed by these guys,' said CBS color analyst Clark Kellogg, claiming this year's participants were 'the most impressive group of young men I've yet seen.' 'Whether it's the inner-city kid who was raised by his grandmother and still thanks her before and after every game, win or lose; the scrappy, rawboned center from the middle of nowhere who's never been to a city this big before and just played his heart out in a tough loss; or the undersized kid who didn't let a severe case of the flu stop him from giving the game, his school, and his teammates all he had, I'm just really impressed with what I've seen this year.' According to accrued statistics of tournament coverage, a full 100 percent of participating college basketball players were really sweet kids who were just a joy to be around. The same percentage were described as determined young men without any quit in them, being mature beyond their tender years and having the sort of composure that would acquit them well in any field they chose to pursue after college if basketball was not in their future. Furthermore, all media personnel confirmed the first thing you noticed about these young men was either how polite they were or how respectful they were of the tournament, its traditions, and the game of basketball itself. In addition, all participating players players were humbled and awed to be representing their schools in front of a national audience. 'This is, in terms of how great the players are as people, perhaps the best March Madness I've ever covered,' said Greg Gumbel, who has made the same claim annually since 1998. 'To anyone who is cynical about the future, who doesn't think today's kids measure up, who thinks college sports are all hype and flash, I say take a look at our coverage of these fantastic young folks and see if you still think that way.' Broadcasters refrained from comment on whether the players' outstanding personal qualities would in fact help the handful of players who made it to the NBA.

2	Muslim Extremists Being Banned From Immigrating To The United States Over the past few weeks and days, it has become increasingly clear that America is at warnot with a nation, but with a world view. The truth is, America is at war with radical Islam. And while some might argue that though is racist, it must be remembered that Islam is not a race. It is not Americas intention to take out the Middle East. It simple can no longer stand by and watch the brutally violent actions of the radical Islamist terrorist group ISIS. The group is posing a growing threat to the west, and some experts have argued that they will be a difficult enemy to beat, in a battle that could likely last a century. According to Justice Department attorney Larry Klayman, American immigration will be an important front in this battle. Klayman argued that the United States is engaged in a religious war, not of our making but for which we must confront and win. He also believes that Islam is simply not compatible with Western values. Although many of his factual claims are incorrect, in theory, his statements are true. Which begs the question: what should America do about it? There is no question that the radical group has start to present a threat to American freedom. What do you think the United States should do next? 
3	Silent Spring For Us?Paul Craig Roberts Once abundant clean water has become a scarce resource. Yet, in the US ground water and surface water are being polluted and made unusable by mountain top removal mining, fracking and other such new technologies. Ranchers in eastern Montana, for example, are being forced out of ranching by polluted water. Offshore oil drilling and chemical farming run-off have destroyed fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico. In other parts of the world, explosives used to maximize short-run fish catches have destroyed coral reefs that sustained fish life (source). Deforestation for short-run agricultural production results in replacing bio-diverse rain forests with barren land. The now generation is leaving a resource-scarce planet to future generations. Nuclear power plants are thoughtlessly built in earthquake and tsunami zones. Spent fuel rods are stored within the plants, a practice that adds their destructive potential to a catastrophic accident or act of nature. The newest threat comes from genetically modified seeds that produce crops resistant to herbicides. The active ingredient in Monsantos Roundup herbicide is glyphosate, a toxic element that now contaminates groundwater in Spain and according to the US Geological Survey is now commonly found in rain and streams in the Mississippi River Basin. In an interview, Huber said that the power of agri-business has made it almost impossible to do research on GMOs and that regulatory agencies with the responsibility of protecting the public are dependent on the industrys own self-serving studies and have no independent objective science on which to base a regulatory decision. In short, in order to secure bumper crops for several years, we are destroying the fertility of soil, animal and human life. Mankind has been destroying the world for a long time. In his fascinating book, 1493, Charles C. Mann describes the adverse effects on the environment, people, and civilizations of the globalism unleashed by Christopher Columbus. These include the international transfer of human and plant diseases, deforestation, destruction of peoples and empires, and the impact on distant China of Spanish new world silver. Mann provides a history lesson in unintended and unexpected consequences resulting from the actions of elites and of those that elites dominated. The Chinese government fixed taxation in terms of the quantity of silver, but the importation of Spanish silver inflated prices (decreased the value of a given quantity of silver) and left the government without sufficient revenues. A successor government or dynasty evicted Chinese from the coast in order to deprive pirates of resources. The displaced millions of people deforested mountainsides in order to sustain themselves with terrace agriculture. The result of deforestation was floods that not only washed away the terraces but also the crops in the fertile valleys below. Consequently, floods became one of Chinas greatest challenges to its food supply. The first slaves were conquered new world natives, but the Indians had no immunity to European diseases. The second wave of slaves were European whites, but the Europeans had no immunity to malaria and yellow fever. By default slavery fell to blacks, many of whom had immunity to malaria and yellow fever. Thus, a black workforce could survive the infected environments and newly created wetlands in which to raise sugarcane, wetlands that were ideal homes for malaria and yellow fever bearing mosquitoes. Mann, of course, is merely reporting, not justifying black or any slavery. Mann points out that the lowly mosquito had a large impact on American history. The Mason-Dixon Line roughly splits the East Coast into two zones, the South in which disease carrying mosquitoes were an endemic threat, and the north in which malaria was not a threat. In the South, a person who survived childhood and grew into an adult had acquired immunity. Northerners had no such protection. This had enormous consequences when Northern armies invaded the South. Mann reports that disease killed twice as many Union troops as Confederate bullets or shells. Between the summers of 1863 and 1864, the official annual infection rate for what was called intermittent fevers was 233 percent. The average northern soldier was felled more than twice. In one year 361,968 troops were infected. Most of the deaths from malaria were indirect. The disease so badly weakened the troops that they died from dysentery, measles or strep infection. The mosquito was the Souths most powerful ally and so prolonged the war, despite the vast numerical superiority of the Union force, that Lincoln was forced to take action that he opposed and declare emancipation of slaves. Thus, Mann writes, it is not farfetched to conclude that blacks were freed by the very malaria mosquito that had caused blacks to be the preferred workforce. Mann shows that long before the birth of capitalism, greed drove men to barbarous treatment of their fellows. He also shows that policies, whether driven by greed or by well-intended socio-political design, inevitably had unexpected consequences. His multi-faceted history well illustrates the old adage, the well laid plans of mice and men often go awry. The old worlds colonization of the new world devastated new world peoples, but the new world bit back with the spread of the potato blight to Europe and Spanish and European inflation. Environmental destruction resulted mainly from deforestation and soils washed away by consequent floods. Prior to modern technology and toxic chemicals, the planet survived mankind. Today the prospects for the planet are different. The human population is vast compared to earlier times, putting far more pressure on resources, and the disastrous consequences of new technologies are unknown at the time that they are employed, when the focus is on the expected benefits. Moreover, these costs are external to the business, corporation, or economic unit. The costs are inflicted on the environment and on other humans and other animal life. The costs are not included when the business calculates its profit and return on its investment. The external costs of fracking, mountain top removal mining, chemical farming, and GMOs could exceed the value of the marketable products. Businesses have no incentive to take these costs into account, because to do so reduces their profits and could indicate that the full cost of production exceeds the value of the output. Governments have proven to be largely ineffective in controlling external costs, because of the ability of private interests to influence the decisions of government. Even if one country were to confront these costs, other countries would take advantage of the situation. Companies that externalize some of their costs can undersell companies that internalize all of the costs of their production. Thus, the planet can be destroyed by the short-term profit and convenience interests of one generation. The main lesson that emerges from Manns highly readable book is that people today have no better grasp of the consequences of their actions than superstitious and unscientific people centuries ago. Modern technological man is just as easily bamboozled by propaganda as ancient man was by superstition and ignorance. If you doubt that the peoples of Western civilization live in an artificial reality created by propaganda, watch the documentary on psyops at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZiAV6fU2NMfeature=player_embedded#! The documentary does a good job despite wandering off into a couple of side issues on which it takes one-sided positions. It is a bit heavy on blaming the rich, and overlooks that Stalin, for example, had plenty of propaganda and wasnt looking to make himself a billionaire. Not all the rich are against the people. Billionaires Roger Milliken and Sir James Goldsmith fought against jobs offshoring and globalism, which increases the powerlessness of the people vis-a-vis the elites. Both spoke for the people to no avail. The documentary also blames the Constitution for limiting the participation of the mass of the people in governing themselves without acknowledging that the Constitution restricted the power of government and guaranteed civil liberty by making law a shield of the people instead of a weapon in the hands of the government. It is not the Constitutions fault, or the fault of Founding Father James Madison, that the American people succumbed to propaganda by Bush and Obama and gave up their civil liberty in order to be safe from Muslim terrorists. The documentary shows that propaganda is a form of mind control, and controlled minds are indeed the American predicament. In 1962 Rachel Carson caught Monsanto off guard and thus gained an audience. Today she would not get the same attention. Ready and waiting psyops would go into operation to discredit her. I just read an article by an economist who wrote that economists have decided that environmentalism is a religion, in other words, an unscientific belief system that preaches religious values. This demonstrates what little importance economists attribute to external costs and the ability of externalized costs to destroy the productive power of the planet.

1	Waugh Street Washington Mutual's new ATM has more personality than Janine Byrd, one of the branch's human tellers, sources reported Tuesday. 'Don't forget to take your cash, Kyle. Would you like a receipt today?' asked the ATM's full-color, animated screen after the machine dispensed $40. 'No? Have a nice day, then. Thanks, Kyle!' By contrast, every customer waited on by the tired-looking Byrd was greeted with the same monotone delivery of 'Hello. How may I help you today?' 
1	The career of 26-year-old running back Matt Forte was tragically cut short Monday after Forte succumbed to a career-ending contract with the Chicago Bears. 'It's such a shame to see such a promising young talent fall victim to a multi-year deal with the Bears,' said ESPN's John Clayton, adding that he had to look away when Forte announced the painful signing. 'We've unfortunately seen this fate befall so many players through the years and while some of them try to recover, after a few years spent battling with a Bears contract, nobody is ever the same.' History has shown the effects of signing with Chicago has proven particularly harmful to running backs, with former Bears Cedric Benson, Curtis Enis, Rashaan Salaam and a host of others reaching out to express their sympathies to Forte. 
1	Following reports that the head-of-state is receiving treatment for a variety of medical conditions, an Amnesty International report released Monday confirmed that the diabetic and gout-ridden dictator Kim Jong-un is still by far the healthiest individual in North Korea. With high levels of uric acid in his bloodstream causing painful swelling in his lower joints and pancreatic failure resulting in extreme soreness and fatigue, Kim Jong-un is currently the picture of strength and wellness in his country, said the reports author, Dr. Philip Gilliam, adding that not one of North Koreas nearly 25 million citizens could even fathom a life in which they only suffered from high blood pressure, night sweats, and an arthritic limp. As a man living with the effects of severe weight gain and heavy alcohol consumption, he ranks first among his citizens in nearly every measurable standard of health and fitness. In fact, should his diabetes worsen and lead to reduced vision, impaired hearing, or even nerve damage, Kim Jong-un would almost certainly continue to remain in the top percentile of the nations healthiest individuals. Gilliam confirmed that Kims life expectancy of 69 is remarkable for the hermetic nation, though he added that most North Koreans are deeply thankful they will never live that long. 
1	The Green Bay Packers addressed questions concerning the current status, future plans, and whereabouts of recently retired quarterback Brett Favre by announcing Monday that they had sent him to the country to live on a beautiful farm with a very nice family. 'We know you loved Brett Favre, but he wasn't happy here. He couldn't stay here,' Packers general manager Ted Thompson told hundreds of quiet but tear-streaked Packer fans assembled at the televised Lambeau Field press conference. 'And he loved you, toohe loved you very much indeedbut he needed to go someplace where he could run and jump and throw his favorite football around. And he couldn't do that here anymore.' 'So we took Brett out behind the Don Hutson practice facility last night, and we Coach McCarthy and I, we We gave him one last hug, and we said goodbye to him, and Brett went away forever,' Thompson said, his voice breaking several times. 'Those loud banging noises you heard were probably the truck backfiring. He went to the farm in a truck, you know.' Thompson then unveiled an artist's conception of Favre frolicking in the fields at the lovely farm, which he said was 'a very, very nice place where they do not have winters or telephones' and 'believe me, absolutely not Favre's farm in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.' 'Don't be sad,' Packer head coach Mike McCarthy told fans, many of whom began crying audibly, shaking their heads, or turning away at the news. 'You should be happy for Brett. He is in a much better place now. He has many of your other favorite Packers, really great Packers like Reggie White and Ray Nitschke and Max McGee, to keep him company. And he even has a coachVince Lombardi is on that farm, too.' Although Packers officials gave no specific details of the farm, its location, or the family who will now take care of Favre, Thompson confirmed that it is 'far, far away, beyond the football fields we know, in a very happy place where Brett will never be cold or get sacked ever again.' 'There are no winters there, and no injuries, and no interceptions, and even though people will play football with Brett all day, they all have so much fun that no one remembers who won or who lost,' McCarthy added. 'Brett loved Green Bay, and it is a nice place, but this farm is even nicer. It was just time for him to go there.' Although many fans were upset that Favre had to leave to go to the farm even more suddenly than he retired, most seemed to understand that their quarterback was old and tired and needed to rest. Team officials gently but firmly refused all fan and media requests to visit Favre on the farm. 'Someday we'll all join him there,' Thompson added, avoiding the eyes of fans and reporters while seeming to look past them at something far in the distance. 'Someday. But not for a long, long time. Right now, just be happy for Brett. Wherever he is now, what he wants most is for you to be happy.' Thompson also confirmed that Favre's jersey was still available from the Packer Pro Shop and that as long as Favre had gone to the farm, the $1.6 million outstanding on Favre's contract would not count towards the salary cap and be returned to the team. 
2	Airstrikes Hit Syria Killing The Head Of ISIS According to reports, the Egyptian military has announced it killed the head of the Sinai branch of the Islamic State, along with dozens of its fighters. Abu Duaa al-Ansari was reportedly killed in a series of air strikes on fighters of the Sinai Province, or the Ansar Beit al-Maqdis group. The strikes targeted jihadist strongholds near the town of El-Arish. Sinai Province is Egypts most active insurgent group, and has been linked to deadly attacks in both Sinai and Cairo. The raids left more than 45 terrorists killed, dozens of others injured and several arms caches destroyed, the Egyptian military claims. Brig-Gen Mohammed Samir also posted on social media claiming that Ansari was killed in an operated guided by accurate intelligence. The post did not specify when the operation was carried out, but we do know they took place on the southern and south-western areas of El-Arish. The jihadist group has been active in the Sinai peninsula since 2011, and have yet to comment on the armys statement. Islamist militancy has grown in Egypt since the army eliminated President Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013. The group has reported carried out more than 31 attacks in various areas across Sinai within just a two-week period in March. It is also a prolific producer of propaganda videos.

3	The 441 TRILLION Dollar Interest Rate Derivatives Time BombMichael Snyder Nor does the primary reason have to do with the fact that rapidly rising interest rates would impose massive losses on bond investors. At this point, it is being projected that if U.S. bond yields rise by an average of 3 percentage points, it will cause investors to lose a trillion dollars. Yes, that is a 1 with 12 zeroes after it ($1,000,000,000,000). But that is not the number one danger posed by rapidly rising interest rates either. Rather, the number one reason why rapidly rising interest rates could cause the entire global financial system to crash is because there are more than 441 TRILLION dollars worth of interest rate derivatives sitting out there. This number comes directly from the Bank for International Settlements the central bank of central banks. In other words, more than $441,000,000,000,000 has been bet on the movement of interest rates. Normally these bets do not cause a major problem because rates tend to move very slowly and the system stays balanced. But now rates are starting to skyrocket, and the sophisticated financial models used by derivatives traders do not account for this kind of movement. So what does all of this mean? Today, the yield on 10 year U.S. Treasury bonds rocketed up to 2.66% before settling back to 2.55%. The chart posted below shows how dramatically the yield on 10 year U.S. Treasuries has moved in recent days Like I mentioned above, we are moving into uncharted territory and this data doesnt really fit into the models used by derivatives traders. The yield on 5 year U.S. Treasuries has been moving even more dramatically Once again, this is uncharted territory. If rates continue to shoot up, there are going to be some financial institutions out there that are going to start losing absolutely massive amounts of money on interest rate derivative contracts. The following is how Investopedia defines interest rate derivatives A financial instrument based on an underlying financial security whose value is affected by changes in interest rates. Interest-rate derivatives are hedges used by institutional investors such as banks to combat the changes in market interest rates. Individual investors are more likely to use interest-rate derivatives as a speculative tool they hope to profit from their guesses about which direction market interest rates will move. They can be very complicated, but I prefer to think of them in very simple terms. Just imagine walking into a casino and placing a bet that the yield on 10 year U.S. Treasuries will hit 2.75% in July. If it does reach that level, you win. If it doesnt, you lose. That is a very simplistic example, but I think that it is a helpful one. At the heart of it, the 441 TRILLION dollar derivatives market is just a bunch of people making bets about which way interest rates will go. And normally the betting stays very balanced and our financial system is not threatened. The people that run this betting use models that are far more sophisticated than anything that Las Vegas uses. But all models are based on human assumptions, and wild swings in interest rates could break their models and potentially start causing financial losses on a scale that our financial system has never seen before. We are potentially talking about a financial collapse far worse than anything that we saw back in 2008. Remember, the U.S. national debt is just now approaching 17 trillion dollars. So when you are talking about 441 trillion dollars you are talking about an amount of money that is almost unimaginable. Meanwhile, China appears to be on the verge of another financial crisis as well. The following is from a recent articleby Graham Summers China is on the verge of a Lehman moment as its shadow banking system implodes. China had pumped roughly $1.6 trillion in new credit (thats 21% of GDP) into its economy in the last two quarters and China GDP growth is in fact slowing. And Chinese stocks just experienced their largest decline since 2009. The second largest economy on earth is starting to have significant financial problems at the same time that our markets are starting to crumble. Not good. And dont forget about Europe. European stocks have hada very, very rough month so far The narrow EuroStoxx 50 index is now at its lowest in over seven months (-5.4% year-to-date and -12.5% from its highs in May) and the broader EuroStoxx 600 is also flailing lower. The European bank stocks pushed down to their lowest in almost 10 months and are now in bear market territory down 22.5% from their highs. Spain and Italy are now testing their lowest level in 9 months. So are the central banks of the world going to swoop in and rescue the financial markets from the brink of disaster? At this point it does not appear likely. As I have written about previously,the Bank for International Settlements is the central bank for central banks, and it has a tremendous amount of influence over central bank policy all over the planet. The other day, the general manager of the Bank for International Settlements, Jaime Caruana, gave a speech entitled Making the most of borrowed time. In that speech, he made it clear that the era of extraordinary central bank intervention was coming to an end. The following is one short excerpt from that speech Ours is a call for acting responsibly now to strengthen growth and avoid even costlier adjustment down the road. And it is a call for recognizing that returning to stability and prosperity is a shared responsibility. Monetary policy has done its part. Recovery now calls for a different policy mix with more emphasis on strengthening economic flexibility and dynamism and stabilizing public finances. Monetary policy has done its part? That sounds pretty firm. And if you read the entire speech, you will see that Caruana makes it clear that he believes that it is time for the financial markets to stand on their own. As I wrote about yesterday, the U.S. financial system is a massive Ponzi scheme that is on the verge of imploding. Unprecedented intervention by the Federal Reserve has helped to prop it up for the last couple of years, and there is a lot of fear in the financial world about what is going to happen once that unprecedented intervention is gone. So what happens next? Well, nobody knows for sure, but one thing seems certain. The last half of 2013 is shaping up to be very, very interesting.

3	Gingrich Wants New House Committee on Un-American ActivitiesBy Kurt Nimmo, Blacklisted News We originally created the House Un-American Activities Committee to go after Nazis, New Gingrich said this week. We passed several laws in 1938 and 1939 to go after Nazis and we made it illegal to help the Nazis. Were going to presently have to go take the similar steps here in regard to Muslims. Trump said during his campaign he wants to ban Muslims from unspecified countries from entering the United States. There is no evidence the Islamic State is coordinating attacks in the United States. San Bernardino and Miami were the work of deranged individuals espousing Saudi Wahhabi ideology. Islamic State terrorists are not flooding over the border, there is no evidence of sleeper cells. Sending Wahhabi terrorists from Saudi Arabia to America is a CIA specialty. Michael Springmann, Chief of the Non-Immigrant Visa Section in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 1987 to 1989, said the CIA handed out visas like hotcakes to radical Salafists. The CIA gave Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, bin Ladens brother-in-law, a visa in the 1990s. What I was protesting was, in reality, an effort to bring recruits, rounded up by Osama Bin Laden, to the US for terrorist training by the CIA. They would then be returned to Afghanistan to fight against the then-Soviets, Springman told the BBC exactly three months before the September 11th attacks. The supposed 19 9/11 hijackers received student, business, and tourists visas to the United States, no problem. Nawaf Alhazmi, Salem Alhazmi, and Khalid Almihdhar received visas through the CIA mill in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A considerable number of Islamic State terrorists have US visas. The problem, U.S. counter-terrorism and intelligence officials tell The Daily Beast, is that there are just so many jihadists with Western passports traveling to fight in Syria that they worry some of them may slip back into the United States without being detected, writes the The Daily Beast. Michael Springmanns take on al-Qaeda from an interview with Bonnie Faulkner: Well, al Qaeda is one of the brand names for the American visas for terrorists program. Initially, they were the mujahedeen, the people who recruited around the world and sent to the US for training and to Pakistan for training and then sent to Afghanistan to shoot things down and blow things up, hopefully with Soviet soldiers inside. They then became al Qaeda in another brand change, but it was basically the same fanatical Muslims who were doing Americas bidding in destabilizing first Yugoslavia and then Iraq and then Libya and then Syria. And now theyre calling them ISIL or ISIS or Daesh and its the same people. Its the Arab Afghan Legion, its the guys originally recruited as the mujahedeen 25 years ago or more. If there are Islamic State terrorists in the United States, they were put there directly or indirectly by the CIA and its partners. We had this brilliant Idea that we were going to come to Pakistan and create a force of Mujahideen and equip them with stinger missiles and everything else to go after the soviets inside Afghanistan and we were successful, said the former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton. So this is not a conspiracy theory, This is history. This is fact. The people we are fighting today, we funded 20 years ago. If Newt Gingrich becomes secretary of state, he might want to call the director of the CIA and other intelligence officials past and present on the carpet. Its not likely this will happen.

The evil bstrd wants to make sure the sheeple who find out the following still die like sheeple. The entire government are evil treasonous criminals. The day of the next Un-American activities, huh? Does this mean American truthers and freedom lovers will be encouraged to promote civil liberties and containment of government tyranny as codified in the US Constitution..or will we still be on watch lists labeled extremists along with supporters of Ron Paul? Make these pols accountable. Next targets: NDAA internet transfer to ICANN / UN. Oh gawd, its the blathering Newt again. I thought we were rid of him. Eighty-four ethics charges while he was Speaker makes him the perfect choice for Secretary of State. Im hoping Trump appoints Sarah Palin as Secretary of Hair and Makeup. The circus is just getting cranked up. LMAOtear rolls down my cheek. LOL! I see the Saudis created a new Ministry of Entertainment for their roll out of Orwellian Agenda 2030. No joke. You can guess what I was thinking Were way beyond The Onion. Meet the new Boss same as the Old Boss Problem Reaction Solution Gingrich is an idiot. He wanted to arrest an Australian journalist for being a traitor and a terrorist to USA. Australian citizens owe no allegiance to American exceptionalism at all. Trouble is that Gingrich is an exceptionally arrogant fool. At least newt nor Rudy G. are on the CFR or Trilateral list. I checked that, but still some what worrisome. operation paperclip 1945 Sorry, OS, delayed response, your reply bypassed my Disqus notifications. Yep, drain the swamp or add more gators to it take yer pick! I see the article in your link was derived from The Intercept, bankrolled by NSA-loving billionaire Pierre Omidyar, Greenwalds patron and sugar daddy. The same Greenwald who stonewalled reporting on legitimate high profile NSA whistle blowers during his journalist beat covering the US States Secrets Privilege Act [evidentiary rule]. Another tangled web with Omidyar and the usual suspects behind Stasi-Facebook funding Singapore based Lenddo, the firm creating software to bring Chinas uber Orwellian Social Credit Score system to the rest of the world! Does the Intercept report this for appearance sake or is this the diabolical practice of revealing intentions probably both. Hey, Im Blue in Wonderland. Ha! Good question. They feel like signals to me, public statements that confirm understandings we can only guess about. I intuited that the Jamie Dimon signal was to let Wall Street know all was well, no apple-cart upsetting would take place under the new regime. Thats just the vibe I get, nothing proven, havent read it elsewhere either. BTW, AP held my reply up for 24 hours, thats why it doesnt show in your notifications. Its because of the link, Ive tried several ways to sneak them through but theyre too clever. so they just sit there. No problem, time doesnt exist in Blue Wonderland. Yep, meet the old boss same as Poor duped deplorables, anyhow, and most are probably clueless theyve been had yet again. Yeah, yeah, Jones, fits the bill. I still love your proposal for Palin as Secretary of Hair and Makeup! lol I have yet to listen to a single speech by Obummer. btw, I didnt get notified on this one either, and there was no link. One way around the link moderation is to put some strategic spaces in between the dots. Tried the dot/space thing but it still got held up. I think once youre flagged they keep an eye on you. Im flattered, actually. Every so often Ill see things Ive written in a comment show up in an article. As long as the truth gets out one way or another, Im happy. That happens to me too, although, sometimes not the direction I was going for, some important facts Ive shared to expand the discussion open source style are cropped and re-used to propagate disinfo or modify a limited hangout. Sneaky buggers. Still, its flattering. hahaha, like that matters. I knew there would eventually be consequences to Fascist and white supremacist populating government. i didnt vote for either person The recent dismissal of Mike Rogers on the transition team will probably keep Newt out of having power to do that.

1	In an effort to make America's natural wonders available to all citizens, the Department of the Interior announced Monday the creation of a $2 million National Parks Website. ParkNet, the new national parks website. The new website clears the way for the wholesale development of the parks: Next Monday, bulldozers will begin leveling more than 100,000 square miles of pristine, federally protected national parkland, finally making it available for industrial use. Jack Holm, designer of the website, believes nature lovers will find it superior to the real parks in every way. 'You will experience the same grand mountains, lush grass and wide variety of fauna, without ever leaving your home,' he said. 'And when you spot an animal on your cyber-tour, like a majestic elk, you can click on the elk and access information about its habitat and diet. Elks in the wild do not offer this option.' The website, located at www.natparks.gov, will feature 72 pixels-per-inch photos of parks and 'hyper text' on the parks' histories and wildlife. It will also offer camping options, with which visitors can set up a 'virtual campsite' inside a national park and watch a quick-time movie of the setting sun while RealAudio playback of crickets and coyotes runs at 44.1 kilohertz. 'We digitally enhanced actual recordings of coyotes from Arizona's Saguaro National Park,' Holm said. 'It should sound better than the real thing.' According to National Parks Destruction Chief Lew Hoffson, countless grizzlies, moose and bison will be incinerated when the 750,000-acre Yellowstone National Park is slash-burned to make room for what he says will be the nation's largest factory outlet mall. 'Yellowstone, like the other national parks, has proven to be a huge financial burden to taxpayers, costing more than $200 million a year to maintain,' Hoffson said. 'The new Yellowstone Factory Shoppes, on the other hand, are privately funded and should be immensely profitable right from the word go. It just makes sense.' The economic advantage of massive, unregulated development of the parks was only one reason for the website move. Safety was also a factor. 'Every year, between 30 to 40 national parks visitors are killed in accidents, ranging from animal attacks to falls off cliffs,' Holm said. 'The website will be far safer, with the greatest danger posed to visitors being possible neck and back strain from prolonged sitting at the computer station.' To avoid such discomfort when visiting the new cyber-parks, Holm strongly advised taking a 'stretch break' every 15 to 20 minutes. Yet another advantage of web-based camping will be the chance for visitors to enjoy interacting with talking, anthropomorphic wildlife, such as PC Puffin, a friendly, wise-cracking aquatic cartoon bird who gives visitors tours of Alaska's Denali National Park. 'Non-cyber-parks do not feature puffin-led tours, for in real life animals do not talk,' Holm said. U.S. Parks Department officials said the department is also planning an endangered-species website, enabling people to observe and study rare species on their computers. Once the website is up and running, the actual endangered animals will either be allowed to die out naturally in captivity or be killed off wholesale by poachers. U.S. Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-MI), who sponsored the legislation, said that he and his family are planning a trip to the National Parks website this July. 'We've never been to Yellowstone,' he said, 'and I understand we'll be able to download a sound effect of hot, splashing water digitally recorded right at Old Faithful. We're very excited.' 
3	January 1, 2016: The New Bank Bail-In System Goes Into Effect In EuropeBy Michael Snyder Below, I have shared part of an announcement about this new bail-in system that comes directly fromthe official website of the European Parliament. I want you to notice that they explicitly say that unsecured depositors would be affected last. What they really mean is that any time a bank in Europe fails, they are going to come after private bank accounts once the shareholders and bond holders have been wiped out. So if you have more than 100,000 euros in a European bank right now, you are potentially on the hook when that bank goes under The directive establishes a bail-in system which will ensure that taxpayers will be last in the line to the pay the bills of a struggling bank. In a bail-in, creditors, according to a pre-defined hierarchy, forfeit some or all of their holdings to keep the bank alive. The bail-in system will apply from 1 January 2016. The bail-in tool set out in the directive would require shareholders and bond holders to take the first big hits. Unsecured depositors (over 100,000) would be affected last, in many cases even after the bank-financed resolution fund and the national deposit guarantee fund in the country where it is located have stepped in to help stabilise the bank. Smaller depositors would in any case be explicitly excluded from any bail-in. And as we have seen in the past, these rules can change overnight in the midst of a major crisis. So they may be promising that those with under 100,000 euros will be safe right now, but that doesnt necessarily mean that it will be true. It is also important to note that there has been a really big hurry to get all of this in place by January 1. In fact, at the end of October the European Commissionactually sued six nations that had not yet passed legislation adopting the new bail-in rules The European Commission is taking legal action against member states including the Netherlands and Luxembourg, after they failed to implement rules protecting European taxpayers from funding billions in bank rescues. Six countries will be referred to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) for their continued failure to transpose the EUs bail-in laws into national legislation, the European Commission said on Thursday. So why was the European Commission in such a rush? Is there some particular reason why January 1 is so important? This is something that I will be watching. Meanwhile, there have been major changes in the U.S. as well. The Federal Reserve recently adopted a new rule that limits what it can do to bail out the too big to fail banks. The following comes from CNN The Federal Reserve is cutting its lifeline to big banks in financial trouble. The Fed officially adopted a new rule Monday that limits its ability to lend emergency money to banks. In theory, the new rule should quash the notion that Wall Street banks are too big to fail. If this new rule had been in effect during the last financial crisis, the Federal Reserve would not have been able to bail out AIG or Bear Stearns. As a result, the final outcome of the last crisis may have been far different. Here is more from CNN Under the new rule, banks that are going bankrupt or appear to be going bankrupt can no longer receive emergency funds from the Fed under any circumstances. If the rule had been in place during the financial crisis, it would have prevented the Fed from lending to insurance giant AIG (AIG) and Bear Stearns, Fed chair Janet Yellen points out. So if the Federal Reserve does not bail out these big financial institutions during the next crisis, what is going to happen? Will we see European-style bail-ins when large banks start failing? And exactly what would such a bail-in look like? Earlier this year, I discussed the concept of a bail-in Essentially, what happens is that wealth is transferred from the stakeholders in the bank to the bank itself in order to keep it solvent. That means that creditors and shareholders could potentially lose everything if a major bank in Europe fails. And if their contributions are not enough to save the bank, those holding private bank accounts will have to take haircuts just like we saw in Cyprus. In fact, the travesty that we witnessed in Cyprus is being used as a template for much of the new legislation that is being enacted all over Europe. Many Americans assume that when they put money in the bank that they have a right to go back and get their money whenever they want. But if we all went to the bank at the same time, there wouldnt be nearly enough money for all of us. The reason for this is that the banks only keep a small fraction of our money on hand to satisfy the demands of those that conduct withdrawals on a day-to-day basis. The banks take the rest of the money that we have deposited and use it however they think is best. If you have money at a bank that goes under, that bank will still be obligated to pay you back, but it may not be able to do so. This is where the FDIC comes in. The FDIC supposedly guarantees the safety of deposits in member banks, but at any given time it only has a very, very small amount of money on hand. If some major crisis comes along that causes banks all over the United States to start falling like dominoes, the FDIC will be in panic mode. During such a scenario, the FDIC would be forced to ask Congress for a massive amount of money, and since we already run a giant deficit every year the government would have to borrow whatever funds would be required. Personally, I find it very interesting that we have seen major rule changes in Europe and at the Federal Reserve just as we are entering a new global financial crisis. Do they know something that the rest of us do not? Be very careful with your money, because I am convinced that bank bail-ins will soon be making front page headlines all over the world.

WONDER if OBOOOOMASSS the magnificent MUSLIM in CHIEF will follow suit in AMERIUCA to obtain more funding for his USELESS BUNCH OF FREE LOADERS now on the take because they say they cant work for this that and the other reason . ??????????????????????? The directive establishes a bail-in system which will ensure that taxpayers will be last in the line to the pay the bills of a struggling bank Its a good indication of just how hopelessly, the system has grown corrupt. The wise will have little money in the bank. So true, and yet the average person has no idea! Theres not enough cash in the system to pay everyone their due. Its all in off-shore funds! I heard the sky is falling does anyone have the date? Youll know when it happens. 
3	After Leaking Radiation In New York For DECADES, Indian Point Ticking Time Bomb to Finally CloseBy Claire Bernish Legal and environmental battles have raged for years over Indian Point, which supplies nearly one-third of the energy generation for the metropolis and has in recent times, at least, officially one of the best track records of any nuclear plant in the U.S. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has for years fought to shut down Indian Point which he has called a ticking time bomb both for its proximity to a sprawling urban populace and for the plants disputable safety record. Announcing the coming closure, Cuomo stated this week, For 15 years, I have been deeply concerned by the continuing safety violations at Indian Point, especially given its location in the largest and most densely populated metropolitan region in the country. I am proud to have secured this agreement with Entergy to responsibly close the facility 14 years ahead of schedule to protect the safety of all New Yorkers. This administration has been aggressively pursuing and incentivizing the development of clean, reliable energy, and the state is fully prepared to replace the power generated by the plant at a negligible cost to ratepayers. Wind power will be the governors primary focus, but that sufficient clean energy infrastructure to replace the two gigawatts of power produced at Indian Point isnt yet in place has brought the eminent shuttering of the nuclear facility into question by both the industry and, surprisingly, even some environmental advocates. Entergy, which operates Indian Point, will now be able to renew expired licenses to keep the plant functioning until the two remaining reactors the original Unit 1 ceased operation in 1974 go offline for good. Indian Point Unit 2 is slated to shut down as early as April 2020 and Unit 3, April 2021 but Entergy plans to seek license renewals through 2024 and 2025, respectively, in case the electrical grid operator feels the system cant handle the loss that soon. In a press release concerning its agreement to shutter the facility, Entergy stated: The two operating units at the Indian Point Energy Center will close in 2020-2021 after powering New York for more than four decades with clean, safe, and reliable electricity. The early and orderly shutdown is part of a settlement under which New York State has agreed to drop legal challenges and support renewal of the operating licenses for Indian Point, located in the Village of Buchanan in northern Westchester County. The shutdown will complete Entergys exit from its merchant power business because of sustained low wholesale energy prices. Indian Point, despite claims the plant has one of the best operating records in the U.S., has had its share of mishaps and close calls rattling the nerves of residents nearby and in the New York metroplex. In early February 2016, a spike in radioactivity in three monitoring wells one measuring 65,000 percent above normal induced a small panic, as Cuomo released a statement asserting, radioactive tritium-contaminated water leaked into groundwater. Then, the following month, Unit 3 shut down because of excessive bird poop seriously. In 2015, the plant stopped operations after a balloon became entangled in electrical wires. Though both shutdowns occurred precisely as designed, for area residents, in particular, they evince the tenuous nature of nuclear power. But the spike in radioactivity in the wells and the seemingly humorous nature of those shutdowns add to, as Anti-Media reported, a list of many issues over the years in 1979, alone, there were 14 incidents at Indian Point 2, and nine at Indian Point 3. But even cursory research reveals numerous leaks at the plant, including a serious 100,000 gallon leak in 1980, an 8,000 gallon leak in 1981, and a leak of an unspecified amount in 1995. Tritium-and nickel-63-tainted water leached into the groundwater supply in 2006. In 1982, Indian Point was the target of the first hearing in history by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to determine whether a nuclear plant should simply be closed down due to its safety record. On the banks of the Hudson River in Buchanan, Indian Point Unit 1 was the first nuclear plant designated for civilian use upon construction in 1962 but that location, itself, has stoked fears in the past few years. While not as storied as the notorious San Andreas fault in California, the long-dormant Ramapo Fault Zone comprising the region where the plant is located has begun to stir once again, earning the attention of geologists and scientists concerned for New York City and the proximity of Indian Point. A study by a group of prominent seismologists suggests that a pattern of active but subtle faults makes the risk of earthquakes to the New York City area substantially greater than formerly believed, Columbia Universitys Earth Institute found in 2008. Among other things, they say the controversial Indian Point nuclear power plants, 24 miles north of the city, sit astride the previously unidentified intersection of two active seismic zones. Then in 2011, the NRC studied and rated the nations nuclear plants on the potential for core damage in relation to seismic risk Indian Point Unit 3 landed conspicuously at the top, its risk having risen 72 percent over previous evaluations. The chance of an earthquake causing core damage at Indian Point 3 is estimated at 1 in 10,000 each year, investigative reporter Bill Dedman explained. Under NRC guidelines, thats right on the verge of requiring immediate concern requiring adequate protection of the public The odds take into consideration two main factors: the chance for serious quake, and the strength of design of the plant. Victor Gilinsky an energy consultant and former member of the NRC penned an op-ed for the New York Times in December 2011, with the telling title, Indian Point: The Next Fukushima? which stated, A severe accident at Indian Point, whose two reactors [that remain in operation] opened in 1974 and 1976, is a remote but real possibility. Weve had two severe accidents with large releases of radioactivity in the past. The Chernobyl accident was dismissed by Western countries on the grounds that it was the product of Soviet sloppiness and couldnt happen here. But the Fukushima accident involved reactors built to American designs. The essential characteristic of this technology is that the reactors uranium fuel about 100 tons in a typical plant melts quickly without cooling water. The containment structures surrounding the reactors even the formidable-looking domes at Indian Point were not designed to hold melted fuel because safety regulators 40 years ago considered a meltdown impossible. They were wrong, and now we know that radioactive material in the melted fuel can escape and contaminate a very large area for decades or more. It doesnt make sense to allow such a threat to persist a half-hours drive from our nations largest city. Now, fortunately for millions in what would be the fallout zone if catastrophe struck, Indian Point nuclear plant has a shut down date in sight. However, closing a nuclear facility is anything but instantaneous decommissioning can take years, and involves the delicate task of dismantling reactors cores, removing spent fuel, storage, and then transporting to a designated safe containment cask. Material from the unit shuttered in 1974 remains on the premises to this day. Entergy stated it would assist the nearly 1,000 full-time Indian Point workers in finding gainful employment. Around 190 will stay after the final shutdown to assist in the decommissioning process. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. 
3	Thieves Yell Police Before Invading Home, Shooting and Robbing Residentselfnews Post SWATs no-knock home invasions are increasingly used to serve non-violent drug warrants. This tactic conditions the public to stand down when masked thugs barge through their front doors. The video report below claims home invaders yelled police upon entering apparently to gain an easier advantage. The thieves shot one of the residents in the head and allegedly stole some things. They are still at large. Think about that for a moment. We live in a society where home invaders can actually be mistaken for legitimate police work! How far has our society fallen to accept such a scenario? And home invasions, whether executed by SWAT or petty crooks, always result in the same outcome for the victims; theft of property and possibly their lives. When the actions of gangsters mimic the actions of authorities, you know weve got big problems with government. Source: ABC13 Thieves mimicking government. Government mimicking thieves. Typo there. Should say Govt BEING thieves. SWAT teams were supposed to be for known hostage or siege situations. It is ridiculous that this no knock warrants are done at all [especially on hearsay] because the same amount of personel [or less] could be used to cover the back door windows[preventing escape] and as far as destroying evidence; this is rare especially with drug dogs forensics. Im sure this is not a problem for the people posing as the government or whatever you want to call the fictional entity.Theyre busy doing whatever they can to dismantle the country at a profit.Im sure its just too bad unless its an incident promoted by the Newmanite Al Sharpton.Wake up.We live chaos.The incorporated corporations known as the governments are all incorporated and privatized with foreign partners.Corporations are papers signed by men. And when you cant cut it as a SWAT member anymore? Hire on as a Monsanto thug and try to force your way into farmers houses to look through their computers. Of course, there are less job openings i think Monsanto itself has around 200 or less or so i hear. Bayer? Dow? Syngenta? Cmon, lets develop a job market for SWAT defectives. I have no reason to believe police will be busting my door down to serve a no-knock warrantthey had better make sure they have the right house Ill assume its an armed home invasion under color of law. I agree with CAWS and OzCop and dan . . . But if normal thugs do this more often, Courts will have a near impossible time of convicting an innocent person who shoots a no-knock warrant thug between the eyes. No one should be surprised. I know that I and my family are not up to no good. So, if my door is knocked down and a stranger enters he or she will be killed without any hesitation. In Texas defense against a cop is going to see you charged with attempted capital murder. And, juries are refusing to convict so long as the shooter is an honest citizen defending his/her home. The trick is to ensure that you are an honest citizen. If there is a warrant out for your arrest or you have a record then itll get dicey. The hinge question would be if it were unreasonable to consider cops over home intruders. Im not sure that anyone has fully thought through what the implications are for Santa and his elves. Increasingly, they are being shot at and sometimes mortally wounded as they go about their festive task. Yes indeed. But, I have it on good authority that Santa is actually a front man for the NSA. Apparently He knows when you are sleeping was actually a pre-Snowden whistleblowers account. Do you even know what a citizen is? Perhaps that misconception derives from the misunderstanding of just what citizenship is. https://realitybloger.wordpress.com/tag/killing-your-strawman-clint-richardson/ Good afternoon kids. Todays word is Relevant. I went to your link as a courtesy. After reading a minute or two it became obvious that the only reason you answered my post was to pimp your blog. I dont mind people who link or pimp blogs if the content being linked/pimped is relevant to the discussion. I have a blog with about 250 posts that from time to time I will pimp out. But, when I do it is because a specific post is actually relevant to a current discussion. So, in closing, dont pimp out your blog posts onto a discussion I am having unless your post is actually relevant to the discussion. Thanks. Its not my blog.I was hoping you would awaken from the fictional realm of thinking.You say be a good citizen. and then everything will be OK and Ill wise up like you! Glad to help. Merry Christmas. Perhaps you need to read the Organic Documents and their definition of natural citizen as it entaile inherent rights which cannot be taken away. This is not possible under the concept of natural citizen, from which our citizenship was derived according to multiple referenced from the founding fathers. JURY NULLIFICATION. Saying used to be that 3 things kept America free; the voting box, the cartridge box, and the jury box. Many do not know that the state can prove EVERYTHING it has accused a person of, and a jury can nullify any conviction and declare that person innocent because they recognize that the person is the victim of an unjust law. A constitutional and organic law right. Thats good thing unless the Judge sets aside the verdict. I dont pretend to know the legal hoops involved that allows a judge to decide that the rendered verdict is invalid, but it happens. I also understand the basic concept of natural rights. That is philosophy which makes for excellent discussion. But they, natural rights, dont exist. Rights are conferred by a benevolent government if at all. Never forget that Reality ALWAYS Trumps Philosophy. There is always some manner in which the crooked, greedy, and authoritarian supportive people can try to steal freedoms. Were that judge to become vilified on youtube, facebook, etc for destroying the constitutional powers given the people, he/she would likely never make another election. i would LOVE to see this. Background in equivalency If 1 + 1 = 2, and the equivalent is that 2 = 1 = 1, then it follows that if Money = speech, then speech = money. Therefore, good patriotic americans should pay their income taxes in speech this April 15th. If enough people did so, there could be no prosecution. It would be a total bitsh slap to the uber-rich that depend upon our tax monies for their corporate socialism and fascism. It blatantly screams your CITIZENS UNITED ruling (of the Supreme Court MORON-jority is perceived as bullshyt by thinking people, the self-annointed Elite fools are seen through, etc. As a martial arts metaphor it would be known in some styles as leading the beat, or a pre-emptive attack. The elite fools would have to either totally and immediately stomp on most of society (in which case better sooner than later when more people are disarmed and in greater fear) or they will have to spend billions of $$$ to try to get back to where they were in terms of acceptance and respect. i submit they would never recover and the violence would ensue in their attempt to totally enslave us. As stated, its going to happen in a few years anyway so force them to move before they thought they had to so that they arent all prepared. That causes more mistakes. They couldnt win Vietnam, couldnt win Afghanistan (russia or the US) how could they do so against a people upon whom they depend for their armies and funding as they fight their cannon fodder and supply source?? Note: i do not espouse trying to overthrow or rebel against the US govt even though they are factually treasonous in the legislation they pass. i recommend the destruction of the wealthy class to cut the head off the snake as it were, and ONLY as a last resort. are you kidding me? they probably WERE cops And they really werent police?? What took them so long? I saw this as a problem years ago and have been waiting for it to happen. Now, here it is. Sorry.thats Illegal according to the corporate fiction that people believe is their government.They got it covered! A person can be charged with criminal fortification of a No no no! The anti-bully programs teach the children that if they feel threatened to lie on the floor in the fetal position and wait for an adult (authority) to show up! There are the future generations.There will be no one complaining about such things very soon. Its simple! We should take a lesson from the educators and be safe ! Reminds be of getting under our desks in the 50s to kiss our a.. goodbye in case of a nuclear bomb! There is NO reason for SWAT to raid my home. Anyone who bursts in screaming POLICE is gonna get a face full of buckshot. They say it was criminals but reading over the many swat raids gone bad. Im thinking this might be a new trend for them. .Theyll never be held accountable so why not go ahead and enjoy the spoils of war They say its a SWAT raid gone bad.Hehehe I wonder who gets credit for this invention! i found out a couple of years ago that the DHS can go into your safety deposit box and take any guns built after 1870something, any gold, silver, coins, jewelry, cash, or anything so terrorist AND the bank cannot tell you who did it. i mentioned this in disgust to my son, and he thought for about 3 seconds and said So get fake DHS security and uniforms, go into a bank and rifle through all the safety deposit boxes. Since the bank cannot tell the box-holders that DHS stole it, and DHS can probably have those portions of the tape deleted you could commit the perfect crime. Similar. 
1	Informing residents that this was the best way to ensure they were able to cast their ballots by the time polls closed on November 8, officials at urban polling stations nationwide urged those voting in todays Super Tuesday primaries to immediately get back into line for the general election, sources confirmed. Once youve finished filling out your ballot and have fed it into the scanning machine, we recommend that you head back out and get a spot at the end of the line you were just in to increase your chances of voting in the national election, said Atlanta primary worker Peter Carver, emphasizing to voters that, given expected turnout levels, heading home for even a few hours could result in them being left waiting outside on the curb when polls close in eight months. In fact, it might be best to forgo filling out this primary ballot altogether and just head straight to the back of the line right now. Officials also suggested that urban residents begin assembling several additional forms of ID today, noting that the ones they just presented at polling locations are likely to be rendered inadequate by new legislation by the time of the general election.

2	Donald Trump Viscously UNLEASHES On Smug NBC Reporter For the past few weeks, Donald Trump has come under fire for the comments he made about Mexico during his campaign announcement. He has received heavy backlash, and has seen many of his professional relationships suffer as they attempt to be politically correct. Now, in an interview with NBC reporter Katy Tur, Trump is showing that he stands by his comments. According to Mediaite, Trump stood up for Second Amendment rights: Yes, I have a gun and, yes, I have a permit to have a gun, Trump told Tur. Stronger background checks? Tur asked, What about that? Is there any steps that you would take to make it harder to get a gun in this country? Once you get into that, you start getting into a situation, the slippery slope where all of a sudden youre going to really violate the Second Amendment, Trump responded. I dont want to do anything to violate the Second Amendment. To me, the Second Amendment is very important. Continuing to push his buttons, Tur went on to bring on comments by Charles Krauthammer, who called Trump a rodeo clown. Trump called him a totally overrated person. By the way, Trump commented, are you going to mention the ones that do like Trump? No, you dont do that. What do you think of Trumps comments? Do you support him standing up for what he believes in? 
2	When Teachers Trashed This Student For Being Christian, He Had This Epic Response [VIDEO] Seven-year-old Isaiah Martinez was excited when he showed up to school one day with candy canes and a sheet of paper explaining their origin. Unfortunately, he was told by his first grade teacher that Jesus is not allowed in school. Now, Isaiah and his family are pushing back on the West Covina Unified School District in California. They are pushing for Isaiahs freedom to distribute the candy canes to his fellow representatives. The legal representative for the family claims that Isaiahs gifts consisted of a traditional candy cane with a message attached that recited the legend of the candy cane. After conferring with the school principal, the teacher told Isaiah that, Jesus is not allowed in school, their lawyer continued, And, at the apparent direction of her principal, ripped the candy cane message from each candy cane, threw the messages in the trash, and handed the candy canes back to Isaiah for delivery to his classmates. The school has taken no action to make changes or apologize to the family. What do you think of the incident? 
3	Airstrikes By U.S. Ally Have Killed 500 Children Since MarchBy SM Gibson According to UNICEF, the ongoing attacks by a U.S.-backed, Saudi Arabian-led coalition in Yemen have resulted in the deaths of at least505 children since March 26, 2015. Another 710 have been left injured, and 1.7 million are at risk ofmalnutrition. As Daniel Johnson with the U.N.pointed out, the grievousnumbersareequivalent toeight children killed or maimed in Yemen every day for six months. On Monday, a missile from a Saudi-led airstrike struck a Yemeni wedding reception in the village ofAl-Wahijah, located near the Red Sea. The explosion resulted in 131 deaths, and the incident is being labeled asone of the deadliest attacks on civilians during thesix-month conflict. In total, there have been7,217civilian casualties,including 2,355 killed and 4,862 wounded in the six months since the fighting began, according to the United Nations. Despite these statistics, theMinister for Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia while addressing the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday evening had the audacity to scold the international communitys inability to end the bloodshed in Syria. Abdel Ahmed Al-Jubeir hypocritically stated that the world has been unable to save the Syrian people from the killing machine that is being operated by Bashar al-Assad. It gets worse. Last month, it wasannounced that Saudi Arabia would head the U.N. Human Rights Council (yes, you read that correctly) a decision that mirrors unfathomable satire. According to cables released by WikiLeaks, Saudi Arabia along with their despicable human rights record originally made their way on to the council under very questionable circumstances in 2013. The cablesallege that a vote-trading dealwas made in secret between Britain and Saudi Arabia to ensure both countries were elected to the council. Days prior to the announcement that Saudi Arabia would head the UNHRC, the Saudi regime released their decision to deny the final appeal of 20-year-old Ali Mohammed al-Nimr. Aged 17at the time of his arrest, the pro-democracy activistwill be executed for taking part in an anti-government protest in 2012. Despite pleas from human rights organizations around the globe, it has been ruled that the young man will be put to death by way of crucifixion any day now. Even the U.N. has called for the Saudis to halt theexecution. Yes, the same U.N. whose Human Rights Council they now head. So far in 2015, Saudi Arabia has executed at least 134 people, according to Amnesty International most of those by beheading. It is scandalous that the UN chose a country that has beheaded more people this year than ISIS to be head of a key human rights panel, said UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer. Petro-dollars and politics have trumped human rights. A number of U.S. politicians have recently been asked to weigh-in on Saudi Arabia and their obvious penchant for barbarity by journalistLee Fang, fromThe Intercept. They may be bombing civilians, which is actually not true, Senator John McCain said when asked about civilian casualties in Yemen. Civilians arent dying?Fangasked. No, theyre not, the senator replied. Oh, Im sure civilians die in war. Not nearly as many as the Houthis have executed. Fang also approachedSen. Chris Coons, (D-Del) and asked him to comment on the Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen. As the co-founder of the Human Rights Caucus in the Senate, I do think we need to pay attention to human rights all over the world, regardless of where human rights violations arise,Coons said. When the Fang pressed the senator to elaborate on Saudi Arabia specifically, Coons immediately ended the conversation. Coons ignored me and continued walking into the building, even though a staff member accompanying him had just informed the senator that he had plenty of time before his speech. The staff member offered to exchange contact information for a lengthier comment later. I emailed and did not hear back, according to Fang. In case you are left pondering why you hear corporate news outlets harp on about the incivilities of numerous Middle Eastern nations ad nauseum (whilethe brutalities carried out by Saudi Arabia are never uttered), it is worth mentioning coincidental or not that the 2nd largest stockholder in Fox News (21st Century Fox) is a man by the name ofPrince Alwaleed Bin Talal. The prince, who just so happens to be a member of the Saudi royal family, is also a prominent stockholder in Citigroup and Twitter.

The Kingdom of S.A. has always had a barbaric society by western standards. A Jordanian prince is currently the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and Jordan actively participated in the creation of ISIS, among other dirty deeds for the globalists. The UN was designed as the Trojan horse for global governance. Wikileaks was set up to be a psy op. So what is the persistent narrative here? KSA is rogue, KSA and Israel new axis of evil, KSA was behind 9/11. KSA must be shunned (and the US too), or KSA and the US will have a spat and falling out, in any case this is one of the narratives setting up a shift away from the petrodollar moving towards global digital currency and then the next transformation to carbon credit or similar as the prison planet comes into view. Meanwhile, the NY Times has reported on the slow but steady cultural liberalization of KSA and in 2011 KSA spearheaded the formation of the new six nation Gulf REGIONAL GOVERNMENT, Gulf Cooperation Council, using NWO language in the Wiki description such as harmonization of laws and cultural standards and a single currency. Ongoing discussions include the future membership of Jordan, Morocco, and Yemen. That is nothing, compared to how many babies are killed, every day, and their body parts sold, in the USA! 
3	In a Close Vote, Congress Shamefully Defeats Amendment That Sought to Curtail NSA SurveillanceMark M. Jaycox The amendment was part of theDefense Appropriations Bill (basically, the budget for the Department of Defense, of which NSA is a part), and was eloquently supported by a bipartisan coalition of Reps. Justin Amash, John Conyers, Jr., Thomas Massie, Mick Mulvaney, and Jared Polis. The push by Rep. Amash was a great step forward and comes in the wake of a combative House Judiciary hearing during which many members voiced opposition to unconstitutional NSA spying. Unfortunately, Congress was unable to muster the votes to pass this important amendment. The amendment failed, with an extremely close vote of 205 to 217. This amendment reflected the deep discomfort of Americans who dont want the government collecting data on them indiscriminately. This type of surveillance is unnecessary and unconstitutional, a needless return to the general warrants that our countrys founders fought against, said Kurt Opsahl, EFF Senior Staff Attorney. The principal author of the PATRIOT Act in 2001, Rep. Sensenbrenner, was among the strongest supporters of the Amash amendment, urging his fellow Congress members to support this effort to rein in NSA: The time has come to stop it and the way we stop it is to approve this amendment. Congress may not have stood up against the mass spying today, but the fight is not over. Earlier this month, EFF filed First Unitarian v. NSA to stop the spying and get the judiciary to rule that the call records program is illegal and unconstitutional. And earlier this month, a federal court rejected the governments assertion of the state secrets privilege in Jewel v. NSA, allowing that case to continue. EFF will continue to push Congress to rein in unconstitutional surveillance. Please add your name to our campaign by signing Stopwatching.us. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Kurt Russell Risks His Entire Career To Defend Trump Supports... Look What Hes Doing Patriots everywhere were outraged watching the Golden Globes on Sunday. Liberal Hollywood used the night to attack and disrespect our nations President-elect Donald Trump, instead ofyou knowdoing their job. Now, Kurt Russell, a firm libertarian is speaking out about why actors and entertainers should stay out of politics. Americans love entertainment, but when their favorite actor takes a political stance that opposes theirs, it could ruin the investment they have in that actors work. Here is what Kurt Russell had to say, according to NJ.com: This is a business thats heavily promulgated by people who have a politically liberal bent . . . I dont begrudge them that. Im a libertarian; frankly, I think my liberalness goes far beyond theirs in a lot of ways. But yeah, we think differently, and maybe thats cut me out of some things. I dont care. People know I get along great with all kinds of directors, all kinds of actors. And I tell you, you hire me, I will show up, 24/7, and I will give you 100%. I will help you fix whatever problems come up. You hire me, Im your boy. Its just, its all about the work. And when thats done, I am done. What do you think? Do you agree with Russell?

3	Technocratic Elite Domination via Mind Control and Mass Surveillance: Brzezinski Called It 45 Years AgoBy Melissa Dykes In his book Between Two Ages: Americas Role in the Technetronic Era originally published in 1970, he laid out what our future ruled by technocratic elites in a scientific dictatorship would look like. And he was spot on. Another threat, less overt but no less basic, confronts liberal democracy. More directly linked to the impact of technology, it involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled and directed society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific know-how. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control. Under such circumstances, the scientific and technological momentum of the country would not be reversed but would actually feed on the situation it exploits. Modern techniques for influencing public behavior? Keeping society under close surveillance and control? You dont say Just think about where we are now. As Truthstream previously reported, former managing director of the board of directors of Wall Street investment firm Dillon, Read Co, as well as former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner in the Dept. of H.U.D. during the Bush 41 administration, Catherine Austin Fitts relayed a chilling conversation she overheard circa 1984 while working on Wall Street, where executives discussed how brainwave entrainment technology was about to be deployed through the television waves. Fitts said she was so frightened by hearing a conversation she was never authorized to hear, that she threw out her TV for good. She further warns that the television is not the only media device that uses these techniques and by now, surely more advanced techniques to persuade consumers, quell opposition and encourage the status quo. Other media devices are also compromised, Fitts says, so users should be aware of its affects on cell phones, radios, the Internet. What do those advanced techniques look like today? This doesnt even consider, say, extremely low frequency wave weapons whose study began under the CIAs project MKUltra and have no doubt transcended into something nightmarish in modern times. This is before we get to issue of targeted individuals or whether or not we are literally living in the movie They Live. On the other hand, the National Security Administration and other government agencies use every form of new technology the public finds out about (fake cell phone towers, stingray devices, etc.) to database and spy on the American people wholesale. And thats just what we find out about, not including the trillions that have undoubtedly been spent on black budget projects. Our 4th Amendment is nearly non-existent, which is why last year Bilderberg 2014 rhetorically asked Does privacy exist? Its a foregone conclusion. When a new technology does come out that could really benefit mankind and possibly shift the entire structure of society to a freer one, affording more liberty to the people stumbling around in it The kinds of hypothetical energy ideas Tesla was working towards perhaps or the types of frequency cures Wilhelm Reich was jailed and possibly killed over or Royal Raymond Rife was chased out of the country for Those technologies are squashed under the smothering safety blanket of National Security. Ever heard of the Invention Secrecy Act? Our government has classified thousands of patents this way and threatened the inventors that if they even so much as talk about their inventions, they could be tossed in federal prison for decades. On top of that is the Sensitive Application Warning System (SAWS), which delays a patents approval process under the same guise for however long the government feels like it, basically. CE reported, One great example (out of many) of delayed patent applications comes from Dr. Gerald F. Ross. He filed a patent application for a new invention he had devised to defeat the jamming of electromagnetic transmissions at specified frequencies. It was not until June 17, 2014 (almost 37 years later) that this patent was granted. While many inventions can relate to military applications, there are a lot of things that could be used for so much more than that. Federation of American Scientists Project Director on Government Secrecy Steven Aftergood notes that a FOIA request to retrieve the list of technology that patents are currently screened and silenced under has been denied. However, the 1971 list indicates that patents for solar photovoltaic generators were subject to review and possible restriction if the photovoltaics were more than 20% efficient. Energy conversion systems were likewise subject to review and possible restriction if they offered conversion efficiencies in excess of 70-80%. So making energy more efficient is classified as detrimental to national security, huh? See how that works? Simply put, the system hoards all the good science for itself, and then usually silences it to keep things status quo or uses it for military applications. Technology starts out neutral, but whatever they get, rest assured theyll always apply it to the potential of weapons of war first before even considering the possibility of advancing humanity. Its the second decade of the 21st century and were just now getting to a place where solar panels are a well-known and used technology. Go ahead and consider why that is. Brzezinski continues: Persisting social crisis, the emergence of a charismatic personality, and the exploitation of mass media to obtain public confidence would be the steppingstones in the piecemeal transformation of the United States into a highly controlled society. In different ways, both the doctrinarian and the conservative might find the temptations inherent in the new techniques of social control too difficult to resist. The inclination of the doctrinaire left to legitimize means by ends could lead them to justify more social control on the ground that it serves progress. The conservatives, preoccupied with public order and fascinated by modern gadgetry, would be tempted to use the new techniques as a response to unrest, since they would fail to recognize that social control is not the only way to deal with rapid social change. [emphasis added] Stop me when any of this sounds a little too familiar (Full text of this book in PDF format can be found for free in the Internet archives here.) The very word secrecy is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.

Given the fact that Brzezinski is a massive insider it is easy for him to predict correctly. He knows the plans and is simply broadcasting them. Technocratic Elite Domination via Mind Control? Yeah. Maybe not just by mind control. Britains airports have now been equipped with whole-body scanners and nice little numbered footsteps to lead you right in without hesitation. Dont want to go in? Then you will get a body search conducted by two people in a closed room. My advice? Take another means of transport or bring a means of recording the search with you. And what about this whole body scanner? What kind of sinister process is that inflicting on your mind and body? See Whole-Body Scanners How Dangerous? at http://rense.com/general93/whole.htm for information on how radiation is absorbed by the skin, which has less protection than the denser parts of the body and is therefore more likely to cause cancer. The article advises travellers that they to stay clear of the whole-body scanners. Earlier whole-body scanners were associated with a cancer cluster among security personnel operators at Bostons Logan airport. Who says these new ones are any safer and why should we believe them? Another new technology to celebrate at British airports is Iris at a Distance technology. Airport Business magazine (http://www.airport-business.com/2011/12/london-gatwicks-futuristic-security-product/) discusses the use at Londons Gatwick airport of Iris at a Distance (IaaD) technology, which is able to locate and capture the iris of the passenger, as opposed to the user having to stand in an exact location for the capture to be successfully completed. The surveillance cameras at Londons Gatwick airport now have spinning lights on them. I would guess that these are designed to attract peoples eyes so that their irises can be scanned. And the cream on the cake is that security at many of the UKs airports, including Gatwick, is run by ICTS, which is an Israeli company, according to Wikipedia staffed by ex-Israeli-intelligence-service people, and it was involved in running security at all the airports involved on 9/11 (see http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/ICTS.html). Why would you want to give your security contract at your countrys airports to a company controlled by the intelligence services of a foreign power? 
2	Donald Trump Is Getting Hit From All Angles... This Could Ruin His Chances It appears that the troubles arent over for Donald Trump following his controversial comments about Mexicans during his campaign announcement speech. Trump is currently initiating a $500 million lawsuit against Univision, the Spanish-language television channel that decided to drop the Miss Universe Pageant from the broadcast schedule. NBC also ended their relationship with Trump, and Macys cut ties after a decade-long partnership. Now, Trumps office has just announced that they and the PGA have mutually agreed not to host the Grand Slam of Golf at the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles as originally planned. Due to the controversy surrounding statements made by Mr. Trump having to do with illegal immigrants pouring into the United States from Mexico and other parts of the world, Mr. Trump does not want his friends at the PGA of America to suffer an consequences or backlash with respect to the Grand Slam of Golf, a spokesman from Trumps office told reports. This allows me the time to rebuild the golf course in Los Angeles, fronting the Pacific Ocean and considered to be one of the finest parcels on land anywhere in the United States, into the course I always wanted it to be, Trump commented. ESPN has also announced that they will be moving their charity golf tournament to a different course. What do you think of the backlash against Trump? Are these companies going overboard?

Kaepernick has an interesting background. He was adopted into a loving household by white parents and now encourages racial division in this country. In an even more shocking move, Kaepernick recently explained that he supports Communist dictator Fidel Castro. One thing that Fidel Castro did do is they have the highest literacy rate because they invest more in their education system than they do their prison system, which we do not do here, even though were fully capable of doing that, Kaepernick told reporters. As if that werent enough, the football player even wore a t-shirt depicting a meeting between Malcolm X. Kaepernicks comments pushed Governor Mike Huckabee over the edge. Castro dead; C Kaepernick weeps for his idol; wipes tears w/ US flag; stands at attention with hand over heart for Castro. Ill take a knee, Huckabee tweeted, sparking millions of likes. 
1	In an incident that has shocked and repulsed even the most fervent free-expression advocates, controversial Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt had sexual intercourse with his own mother in an outhouse Monday. Larry Flynt, seen here attending the premiere of <I>The People Vs. Larry Flynt</I>, recently had an outhouse liaison with his own mother (inset). Flynt has vowed to fight himself in court over the sex act, which he called 'unconscionable and sick.' According to reports, not only did Flynt place his mother 'face-first in an outhouse shit-hole' near Flynt's poverty-stricken, white trash, backwoods place of birth before 'taking her from behind like a dog,' but he was also surrounded by pigs, sheep, convicted felons, born-again evangelists, Mafia-linked magazine distributors, and a huge-phallused caricature of Santa Claus at the time. Particularly nauseating, sources say, was the fact that during the incestuous act, Flynt's colostomy bag exploded violently, covering Flynt, his mother, and all onlookers in a torrential shower of his own feces. Flynt, who is described by close friends and colleagues as a 'perverted bastard,' does not possess control over his own bowels. The liaison, which is said to have been possibly the single most obscene and degrading act in human history, has left everyone from right-wing Christian leaders to ACLU lawyers to Larry Flynt himself condemning the sickening, depraved display. 'I cannot in good conscience allow myself to continue this sick, hideous abomination against all that is decent,' Flynt said shortly after completion of the sexual liaison. 'Our nation's children must be protected from filth like myself!' Flynt added that videos of the event are available for $29.95 from Larry Flynt Publications, Inc. Though confined to a wheelchair after being paralyzed by an assailant's bullet during a Georgia obscenity trial in 1978, Flynt, who can feel no sensation beneath the waist, was able to achieve erection and sexually penetrate his 81-year-old mother, Dolores Flynt. His success was largely due to a special penile implant that allows him to partially imitate the mechanics of sexual intercourse in a grotesque parody of the act of human love. 'If the Constitution will protect me, then it will protect all of you, because I'm the worst,' Flynt said. 'But this time, I've gone too far. I swear to God, I'll sue the pants off myself for doing this to Mama, even if I have to chase myself all the way to the Supreme Court.' ACLU lawyer Dan Glickman agreed with Flynt. 'The right of all Americans to free expression, no matter how offensive that expression may seem to others, is the cornerstone of the liberties we as a nation hold as our highest principles,' Glickman said. 'Nonetheless, I think we should fry that sick Larry Flynt bastard.' In the wake of the incident, Flynt held a special prayer service Tuesday at his Los Angeles-area mansion. 'And now, let us lower our heads in silent prayer,' Flynt, hands folded, told the assembled crowd. 'Sweet Jesus in heaven, hallelujah. Praised be our Savior on high. Christ, we beseech you in Your Father's name, save us all, in Your mercy, from me, Larry Flynt, a sick, disgusting, crippled, drug-addled, perverted, fat, shit-covered pig of a man who would just as soon vomit in Your Most Holy face as listen to this sanctimonious, hypocritical bullshit a minute longer. Holy shit, there I go again, Lord!' Flynt's mother was unavailable for comment at press time, as she was posing for a pictorial in her son's magazine. 
3	December 14th To 18th: A Week Of Reckoning For Global Stocks If The Fed Hikes Interest Rates?By Michael Snyder And just look at what is already happening. Trading for stocks in the Middle East has opened for the week, and we are already witnessingtremendous carnage Following Fridays further freefall in crude oil prices, The Middle East is opening down notably. Abu Dhabi, Saudi, and Kuwait are lower; Israel is weak and UAE and Qatar are tumbling, but Dubai is worst for now. Dubai is down for the 6th day in a row (dropping over 3% the most in a month) extending the opening losses to 2-year lows. The 11% drop in the last 6 days is the largest since the post-China-devaluation global stock collapse. Leading the losses are financial and property firms. Things in Asia look very troubling as well. As I write this, the Japanese market has just opened, and the Nikkei is already down 508 points. In recent days I have been explaining to my readers how everything is lining up in textbook fashion for another major market crash. In particular, the implosion of junk bonds is a major red flag. Late last week, Third Avenue Management shocked Wall Street by freezing withdrawals from a 788 million dollar credit mutual fund. The following comes fromBloomberg A day after a prominent Wall Street firm shocked investors by freezing withdrawals from a credit mutual fund, things only got nastier in the junk-bond market. Prices on the high-risk securities sank to levels not seen in six years and, to add to the growing sense of alarm, billionaire investor Carl Icahn said the selloff is only starting. The meltdown in High Yield is just beginning, Icahn, whos been betting against the high-yield market, wrote on his verified Twitter account Friday. Icahns comments come as junk-bond investors, already stung by the worst losses since 2008, are the most nervous theyve been in three years after Third Avenue Management took the rare step of freezing withdrawals from a $788 million credit mutual fund. What Third Avenue Management just did was absolutely huge. Now investors that have money in any similar funds are going to be racing to get it out. We could be on the verge of a run on bond funds that is absolutely unprecedented. This is so obvious thateven CNBCs Jim Cramer is sounding the alarm Friday was a day where Cramers ears were burning with concern because of the troubles discovered with a high yield bond fund run by Third Avenue Management. It decided to bar investors from getting their money out of its Focused Credit Fund, because it could not meet demands to get cash back to them in an orderly way. This was significant because when it tries to sell the bonds needed to satisfy these orders for redemptions, it could destroy the high yield bond market because there are no buyers anywhere near the amount that they want to sell. I cannot emphasize enough just how disconcerting this move is, Cramer said. I know that for the ordinary person on the street, all of this sounds very complicated. But it basically comes down to this anyone that has a lot of money invested in these bond funds is in danger of getting totally wiped out. In a situation like this, it is those that are first out the door that come out as the winners. I like howWolf Richter explained what we are currently facing It works like this: When an open-end bond fund starts losing money, investors begin to sell it. Fund managers first use all available cash to pay investors. When the cash is gone, they sell the most liquid securities that havent lost much money yet, such as Treasuries. When theyre gone, they sell the most liquid corporate paper. As they go down the line, they sell bonds that have already lost a lot of value. By now the smart money is betting against the fund, having figured out whats happening. Theyre shorting the very bonds these folks are trying to sell. The longer this goes on, the more money investors lose andthe more spooked they get. It turns into a run. And people who still have that fundin their retirement account are getting cleaned out. Bond funds can be treacherous especially if they hold dubious paper, which is never dubious until it suddenly is. And whenthey get in trouble, you want to be among the first out the door. I would anticipate that we will see more junk bond carnage this week especially if the Fed raises rates. And as I have discussed previously, a stock crash almost always follows a junk bond crash. If the Fed does raise rates this week and stocks do start falling significantly, one key day to watch will be Friday. JPMs head quant Marko Kolanovic has warned that the largest option expiry in many years will happen on that day This important event falls at a peculiar timeless than 48 hours before the largest option expiry in many years. There are $1.1 trillion of SP 500 options expiring on Friday morning. $670Bn of these are puts, of which $215Bn are struck relatively close below the market level, between 1900 and 2050. Clients are net long these puts and will likely hold onto them through the event and until expiry. At the time of the Fed announcement, these put options will essentially look like a massive stop loss order under the market. A perfect storm for stocks is brewing, and this week could potentially be one of the most chaotic that we have seen in a very long time. But of course the Federal Reserve could decide to surprise us all by not raising rates, and that would change things substantially. So what do you think will happen this week? Please feel free to share your thoughts by posting a comment below Michael Snyder is a writer, speaker and activist who writes and edits his own blogs The American Dream and Economic Collapse Blog. Follow him on Twitter here. .what do you think will happen this week?. The volatility may be a bit higher. I predict the feds will raise the rate by the lowest possible percent. This is pathetic since during the last SIX YEARS the Fed hints several times a year that they are thinking about raising rates. Then the usual bla bla bla goes on with all the mouthpieces and dumbasses and when the time comes of course the Fed ends up never raising the rates using some lame excuse which all the morons pretend is valid. 
3	It Just Doesnt Feel Like the 4th of July WhenDave Hodges Because I have a family I will watch the fireworks for their sake and then I will silently say a prayer in which I ask God to bring us a generation of brave Americans who can emulate the deeds of our Founding Fathers instead of the criminals we now have who are destroying the country. However, I must confess that it just does not feel like the 4th of July. It doesnt feel like the 4th of July when a quality person and parent like Stacy Lynne, of Fort Collins Colorado, had her son stolen from her over a 19 months ago by the Agenda 21 forces of her community for daring to speak out on behalf the small business owners. Lynne has not been allowed to see her son for over six months and there hasnt been one allegation made against her parenting skills, nor has she committed a criminal act. Oh, and by the way, the judge who stole Stacys son Jaden, Julie Kunce Field, was an Agenda 21 consultant to the World Bank and the IMF and she also shared an office suite with the Colorado Queen of Agenda 21, Pat Stryker. It doesnt feel like the 4th of July as America discovers that 200 million of our citizens have been placed in a facial recognition databasewithout our consent and even if we have never committed a crime. Anyone who has a drivers license, is in the database. It doesnt feel like the 4th of July when Obamas Executive Order 13603, the National Defense Resources Preparedness, grants the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Labor, the Department of Defense and other agencies complete control of all US resources, including the ability to seize, confiscate or re-delegate resources, materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense. Obama has criminalized the storing of anything vital and can steal anything on your person or in your home. It does not feel like the 4th of July when I know that Holder and Obama have proclaimed the legal authority to murder American citizens with drones. It doesnt feel like the 4th of July when our traditional allies hate us for our governments criminal acts. The German government, the French government, the government ofEcuador and the entire EU have all decried this criminal administrations spying on their activities. In fact, every government in South Americahas scheduled an emergency meeting after authorities at the behest of the American government diverted the President of Bolivias plane, refused the President the right air space and then searched the plane for Snowden. It just doesnt feel like the 4th of July when it has been announced that we have we have Russian troops on our soil and will be participating in policing activities at public events. And it really doesnt feel like the 4th of July when my sources tell me that soldiers from Latin American countries are practicing to invade the Gulf Region of the United States It doesnt feel like the 4th of July when journalists, Michael Hastings and Andrew Breitbart, can be murdered for exposing government corruption. It doesnt feel like the 4th of July when Snowden proclaims that he will be murdered for exposing illegal activities by the NSA. It doesnt feel like the 4th of July when time honored 4th of July celebrations, like the one on the Boston Commons will not allow any bags, cooking, drinks, sports, coolers and will subject revelers to invasive TSA-type searchers and X-ray machines with the National Guard looking on. Similar restrictions are being put in place at the National Mall in Washington DC, Atlanta and Denver. It is ironic that celebrations to honor the holiday that once brought unprecedented freedom to our shores have now been reduced to police state training exercises. I now view the 4th of July as a national day of morning in remembrance for what we have lost and will continue to lose. May God have mercy on our citizens. Son, it is now a crime for me to tell you this, but in a land far, far away and a very long time ago, there once was once was a country named America where the government respected the rights of the individual and limited the power of the government. It has not always been this way. It only feels like the 4th of July when I pause and think of great American leaders like Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Franklin and honor their service to humanity which is the antithesis to the actions of the criminals running our government today.

1	Barry Bonds, the San Francisco Giants outfielder who in 2007 capped his 22-year baseball career by becoming the MLB's all-time home run leader, arrived in Courtroom 10 of the Phillip Burton Federal Courthouse at 8 a.m. Monday to appear in Case No. 3:07-cr-00732-SI, USA v. Steroid-Using Liar Barry Bonds. The prosecution has charged Bonds with four counts of perjury and one count of obstructing justice for allegedly lying to a grand jury about his use of performance-enhancing drugs. Bonds' lawyers stated in a press release yesterday they were confident they would receive a 'quick and clear acquittal' for their 'dishonest cheater of a client.' Jury selection took up most of the first day, with the two sides eventually settling on eight women and four men who, they mutually stated in a court document, would 'do their best to consider the case of lying, steroid-using, baseball-ruining asshole Barry Bonds with fairness and impartiality.' 'Your job is to determine if the defendant, the cheating liar known as Mr. Barry Bonds, did in fact commit perjury when he lied under oath in 2003,' Judge Susan Illston said as she swore in the jury. 'Ignore the painfully obvious fact of his steroid use unless it becomes germane to these proceedingsunless, for example, said obvious steroid use is something this liar lied about while committing his alleged steroid-related perjury.' Opening statements then followed, with the prosecution contending Bonds perjured himself by responding 'no' when asked if he had ever taken anabolic steroids, testosterone, or human growth hormone. 'We intend to show you exactly how the statements about steroid use made by Mr. Bondswhose defining characteristics, as we have established, are using steroids and lyingwere in fact lies,' said prosecutor Matt Parella, who carefully and methodically laid out his case for jurors. 'By the end of this trial, we believe no reasonable doubt will remain concerning this lying steroid user's steroid-related lying, if indeed any such doubt exists.' Defense lawyer Allen Ruby's opening statements concerning his client did not downplay either Bonds' steroid use or his lying, as many had expected, but took a more personal approach. 'Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client, the defendant, Mr. Barry Bonds, the man who lied and cheated his way into the record books, the man who in fact used steroids to cheat and then lied about itI am here to tell you that you must find him innocent of lying to the court,' said Ruby, who was relaxed and cordial during his opening statements. 'This will take several weeks, because my client is in fact such a huge liar that it will not be easy to weed through all the lying he's done.' 'The truth of the matter is this,' Ruby added. 'When it comes to USA v. Steroid-Using Liar Barry Bonds, the government just doesn't have any hard, admissible evidence that he took steroids and lied.' Bonds, dressed Monday in a somber black suit and gray tie, sat impassively and silently while watching the proceedings with his defense team, who told reporters their strategy was for their client not to testify so that he would not have a chance to re-perjure himself during the proceedings. 'Ultimately, however, the prosecution will most likely call him to the stand,' defense attorney Christina Arguedas said. 'Mr. Bonds will then either plead his Fifth Amendment rights or, as we believe is more likely, lie extensively and to the best of his ability, which may hurt our perjury case.' Arguedas added that, while it would certainly be characteristic of the man, she did not believe Bonds would have the opportunity to take steroids during the trial. 'In the coming weeks, we're going to see a lot of people who have known Bondsnot just as a baseball player or a liar and cheater, but as a terrible human beingtestify about his lying, his cheating, and his character,' said criminal analyst Beth Reiser, explaining that Bonds' history of cheating would play just as big a part in his perjury trial as his lying. 'Former players, trainers, lovers, employees, employers, neighbors, acquaintances, people who saw him play, people who met him for a few minutes at a signing All of these people will come forward and talk about what a liar he is. Really, this trial should be pretty simple.' 'Still, you never know,' Reiser added. 'Look what happened in The People of the State of California v. Psycho Wife-Beheader Orenthal James Simpson.'

3	Congress Must Act After US Government Admits To Unconstitutional Warrantless WiretappingTrevor Timm In a letter to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), the DNI declassified three statements at the request of the Senator, one of which indicated that the FISA Court agreed with Wyden that the government had circumvented the spirit of the law. Wired called it a federal sidestep of a major section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and the Wall Street Journalconfirmed it represented the first time the government has acknowledged U.S. spy activities violated the constitution since the passage of the FAA in 2008. This is vital information, as Congress is in the midst of debate over extending Section 702 of the FAA before it expires at the end of the year. Section 702 severely weakened privacy protections for Americans communicating overseas, and may have swallowed protections against surveillance of our domestic communications as well. And remember, the declassified statement says on at least one occasion so there very likely could be more. Previously, the NSA told Sen. Wyden it was not possible to count the number of Americans affected by FAA surveillance. Rather unbelievably, the NSA also stated that even a general estimate of how many people the NSA had spied on would somehow violate the privacy of those same Americans. Wyden had been warning the American people for months in vague terms that the government was overstepping its bounds in its interpretation of 702. Now, the only reason weve learned the barest minimum about of the sidestepping of a public law and the Bill of Rights is becausethe very same government agency that was responsible for the wrongdoing allowed it. Congress can and should force the administration to answer all of these questions in public, so that we can allow the democratic process to determine whether 702 should be extended. Of course, many major news outlets had been reporting since just after the FAA passed (here,here, and here for starters) that Americans communications were still being collected by the NSA without a warrant. Yet Congress has steadfastly refused to fix the problem. Both House and Senate committees recently voted down amendments that would have added privacy safeguards and transparency requirements to the law, claiming no such evidence existed. Sen. Wyden, on the other hand, has been alleging that section 702 [of the Act] currently contains a loophole that could be used to circumvent traditional warrant protections and search for the communications of a potentially large number of American citizens. But Wydens amendment that would have required a warrant to search the communications of a specific American was voted down 13-2 after Intelligence committee chairman Dianne Feinstein insisted there was no such loophole. Sen. Feinsteins assurances seem to conflict with the DNIs statement. Similarly, when Rep. John Conyers implored his House colleagues to vote for an amendment requiring the government give a general estimate how many times Americans communications had been collected without a warrant, Rep. Dan Lungren (R-California) shot back: What evidence is there that it is being used to spy on Americans? The amendment failed 11-20. Congress may be able to ignore reports in the media that the NSA is still collecting Americans emails, but it should not ignore the admission from the DNI itself. Congress must now drastically overhaul this law to prevent further abuses of the Constitution or vote down entirely. Please visitElectronic Frontier Foundationto support Internet freedom and privacy.

1	Following years of speculation regarding the paternity of her 25-year-old son Ronan Farrow, who was born in 1987 during her relationship with Woody Allen, actress Mia Farrow admitted in an interview with Vanity Fair this week that her son could have actually been fathered by Frank Sinatra, Mario Puzo, George McGovern, Robert Altman, Anthony Perkins, Milton Berle, Robert Redford, Michael Caine, Danny Aiello, or Bruce Dern, or possibly even Francis Ford Coppola, John Cassavetes, Tony Curtis, Dustin Hoffman, Quincy Jones, Sydney Pollack, Joe Mantegna, Liam Neeson, John Irvin, Bob Balaban, or William Hurt. Even though we were only married for a few years, Frank was the love of my life, and the truth is I never really split up with him, or, for that matter, Dudley Moore, Kurt Russell, Walter Cronkite, Richard Gere, Gore Vidal, Oliver Stone, Bob Costas, Burt Bacharach, or Prince, the 68-year-old actress and humanitarian told reporters, noting that while she was seriously involved with Allen from 1980 until 1992, she still had never really forgotten former flames Henry Rollins, John Malkovich, Michael Dukakis, Huey Lewis, Paul Newman, and Bill Laimbeer. But then, of course, about a year before [Ronan was born], I had also recently reconnected with Pistol Pete Maravich, Mikhail Gorbachev, Michael Landon, David Lynch, Jim Henson, Prince Charles, O.J. Simpson, Bruce Hornsby, Fred Rogers, Ted Turner, George Peppard, Jeffrey Dahmer, Phil Collins, Grandmaster Flash, David Duke, Gordon Lightfoot, and Greg Louganis, whom I realized Id never really gotten over. So theyre possibilities as well. Family sources also reported that Ronan Farrow has spent Fathers Day the past three years with song parodist Weird Al Yankovic.

'There was a point where I thought I'd never fill this empty void, and that I'd be all alone with my wife and children forever,' said Glass, who claimed that he and Nelson first crossed paths at the most unlikely time: during his son's birthday dinner. 'I knew right then and there that she was the other woman for me.' Glass admitted that he was so in love, he couldn't wait to tell almost the whole world. 
3	Another FOIA Request Denied and Anderson Cooper Slips TWA 800 Shot DownMelissa Melton Mel here. I thought Id do a quick report to remind myself that there are other things going on in the world right now besides Ebola. Things like these psychopaths in charge gleefully stoking the cold war (guess thatd be called a warm war at the moment); or the fact that former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director Leon Panetta is now claiming the war with ISIS is set to last THIRTY YEARS; and now, just a few days ago, a federal appeals court denied a fresh FOIA request regarding the 1996 TWA flight 800 incident off the coast of Long Island, New Yorkyou know, in the interest of national security. Well back in July while CNNs Anderson Cooper was covering the flight MH17 incident, he accidentally blurted out that flight 800 was shot down, (what, by a surface-to-air missile perhaps?) before he corrected himself at the next possible opportunity after the next commercial break with the official government story. I remembered last night when I saw the FOIA request denial that I forgot to report on it, what with all the other things going on, so here it is in case you missed it. Were living through crazy times here in Crazyland, thats for sure.

2	HAPPENING NOW: Hillary Makes Scary Announcement About Pennsylvania After garnering only one percent of the vote as the Green Partys candidate, Jill Stein turned her efforts toward demanding election recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Many dismissed her actions as bitternessbut now it appears her efforts could actually have some merit. Key word: SOME. According to Allen B. West, the results are rolling in from Pennsylvania and Hillary Clinton is actually gaining on Donald Trump. In Philadelphia, Clinton has gained five votes. Thats after the City Commissioners Office recounted votes in 75 of Philadelphias more than 1600 voting divisions, Breitbart reports. The recount was launched by 250-plus residents of the city, who asked for three petitioners in each of Pennsylvanias voting districts to file recounts to boost Steins efforts to get a statewide recount through a Commonwealth Court and then Federal Court lawsuit. Contrary to Steins assertions, the recount in Philadelphia turned up no signs of hacking or voter fraud. In Michigan, it turns out that optical ballot scanners that malfunctioned on election night and may have counted votes twice were mostly in Democratic areas, Infowars reports. If thats the case, the fraud likely favored Clinton instead of Trump. Eighty-seven on Wayne Countys decade-old voting machines broken on Election Day, The Guardian reported, noting that every time a jammed ballot was removed and reinserted, the machine may have recounted it. Trumps win could far exceed the 10,704 votes initially recorded. What do you think? Is Stein making progress or are her efforts going to backfire on her? 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Just Raped And Beheaded A Christian Child WARNING: Graphic content below. According to very disturbing new reports, ISIS has a reputation for both raping and beheading children. According to Mark Arabo, an American Christian leader, the situation in Iraq right now has become Christina genocide. Christianity in Mosul is dead, and a Christian Holocaust is in our midst, Arabo claims. Children are being beheaded, mothers are being raped and killed, and fathers are being hung. According to Bare Naked Islam, an extraordinarily disturbing image showing a child that was raped and beheaded by an ISIS terrorist was released to the public. They are systematically beheading children, Arabo added. And mothers and fathers. The world hasnt seen an evil like this for generations. Arabo beheads that there is even a park in Iraq, where ISIS is known to put childrens heads on sticks. He goes on to describe a terrifying process in which ISIS is capturing Christians and offering them a choice: either they can convert or be beheaded. If they choose option two, they are allowed to live, but their wives may be taken prisoner. The situation is becoming so desperate, Arabo claims he could not hold in the information any longer. He believes it is time for the world to see the devastation that is really being caused. They are absolutely killing every Christian they see, he lamented. This is absolutely genocide in every sense of the word. They want everyone to convert, and they want Sharia law to be the law of the land. What do you think of Arabos claims? Are they true? If so, what should the United States do about them? 
1	After six grueling years of Herculean research, scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory pronounced EHC-1 Alpha, the new hyperbolic chamber, 'an unquestionably, undeniably, fantastically revolutionary milestone in the history of science, mankind, and the universe, all of which it will undoubtedly change forever.' 'Hyperbole researchers have arrived at, without possibility of argument or refutation, the single greatest moment in all of creation, now and forevermore,' said the project's lead scientist, Dr. Lloyd Gustaveson, activating the hyperbolic chamber's gazillion-ultra-watt semantic resonator at a gala launch party Monday. 'The divine flame kindled by our new hyperbolic chamber will cast its light down through the centuries, making the Promethean fire that brought forth life on earth seem like a brief and guttering spark. Beholdwe recast the cosmos in the image of the ultimate!' A federally funded program launched during the Clinton administration, the hyperbolic-chamber project was roundly criticized at its inception by lawmakers who argued that it was too expensive and had no industrial or military applications. Republican senators were particularly vocal, with one congressman claiming that the project would 'run Jesus-kabillion dollars over budget,' and be 'more useless than 12 rows of tits on an NFL fullback.' The EHC-1 Alpha survived many rounds of budget cuts, however, in no small part because of the tireless efforts of lobbyists who decried the chamber's congressional detractors as 'Philistine Nazi Neanderthals.' 'Today, we do not merely silence our critics,' Gustaveson said. 'We commit them to that newest, foulest level of eternal indignity and unending infamy: the dark, ignorant era before the amazing, incredible hyperbolic chamber!' 'There has never been anything as amazing as this awesome machine,' Gustaveson added. Responses from within the scientific community have been positive. Writers from Scientific American dedicated the May issue to the chamber's development and technology, calling it 'brilliant... unsurpassed and unsurpassable. No mere milestone, the EHC-1 Alpha hyperbolic chamber is the achievement from which all future milestones shall be measured.' Not to be outdone, Nature is planning a June special issue in which it will call the device 'singular in its quasi-divine perfection... the ne plus ultra of human ingenuity.' And Popular Science quickly placed the chamber on the fold-out cover of its next issue, which reads, 'FUCKING AWESOME!!! THE BALLS-OUT H.C. IS 40 TIMES BETTER THAN SEX... AND COUNTING!!!' Although it is difficult to find critics of the EHC-1 Alpha, those who oppose the machine do so vocally. The project's most prominent critic is Sandia National Laboratories' Dr. Owen Comstock, who argues that hyperbolic-chamber research has little social value and that federal funds would be better spent on his project, the high-energy, lowest-common-denominator-inductive Supercolloquial Mundane Adjectival And Onomatopoeic Accentuator. 'EHC-1 Alpha?' Comstock said. 'Pfft. More like the craptastic crapobolic crapulator of crappity-crap-crap. Blarf. In addition, it is ugly as ugly can get, raises several safety issues, and is so freaking stupid I had to puke at how stupid it is.'

1	A recent poll from the Institute for Figuring People Out revealed Tuesday that nearly one quarter of the U.S. population is just sort of like that. A report on the findings stated that 23 percent of Americans are 'a little off,' and even if they don't get up in anyone's face or anything, you never know when they're going to be in one of those moods. Within this group of respondents, 64 percent were not all there, 31 percent couldn't be bothered, and God forbid you even talk to the other 5 percent without some kind of hassle. The study concluded that, while many people seem pretty out there, perhaps that's just the way they are, and moreover, what can you do? 
1	An otherwise routine set play involving a variation on the classic 'pick' strategy transformed into a singularly unforgettable moment Sunday when Lakers center Pau Gasol interposed himself in order to stop the defensive pursuit of Spurs guard Tony Parker with body contact, but in the words of Parker himself 'stopped my heart instead.' 'I came around the key to the baseline like it was any other day, but then there [Pau] was First our hips met, then our eyes, and I was knocked off my feetliterally and figuratively,' Parker told reporters afterward. 'Time stopped forever for me at that moment, and I knew then that whatever happened in this crucial best-of-five series, one of the most crucial moments of my life had just happened. That now and forever, for mefor usthere would always be eight seconds left on the shot clock.' Gasol refused to comment on the moment, telling reporters that '[Parker and I] will always have [the] Staples Center.' 
2	Black Lives Matters Protestor Breaks Young Soldiers Jaw According to recent reports, a young Air Force mechanics deployment to Europe next month has been postponed after a Black Lives Matter activist punched him in the jaw outside of a Transit Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The incident occurred just after 23-year-old Matthew Whitehurst left a pre-season football game at Bank of American Stadium. Whitehurst and his two friends were reportedly going to grab something to eat when they were ambushed by protesters. Whitehurst described the man that ultimately fractured his jaw as a black male with a red bandana and dreadlocks. And there were probably 15 to 20 of them that looked like, Todd Whitehurst, Matthews father, told reporters. The protesters were in Charlotte to protest the recent acquittal of Officer Randall Kerrick, who killed Jonathan Ferrell, a black man, in self-defense back in September 2013. It is unknown why the protesters went after Whitehurst, a member of our armed forces. A bunch of hoodlums that are throwing their lives away punched my son from behind who is serving his country and has his stuff together, Todd added. I just drove home my son who has his jaw wired shut, and a mandible fracture in two with a plate and his jaw wired shut, and he threw up on the way home with his mouth shut. What do you think? Have these protesters gotten out of hand? 
2	You Wont Believe What Major Lie Michelle Obama Is Spreading About America Well, it appears that Michelle Obama is not yet done embarrassing our country. Reportedly, the First Lady told veterans that they have America to blame for the lack of civilian jobs they are facing when they come home. Michelle was featured on the cover of the October issue of Redbook Magazine, in hopes of showing her husbands support for women veterans. The issue was released just three weeks before the 2014 elections. Shes been trained to be a leader, the First lady spoke of one unemployed veteran. And this countrys not giving her that opportunity, someone who wants it so desperately. The First Lady went on to state, A lot of people think you come out of the military and the country is taking care of you, but the transition is tough. What do you think? Should the First Lady take some responsibility for the Obama administration or is the unemployment crisis all Americas fault? 
1	Hoping to have all his holiday decorations up by the weekend, His Holiness Pope Francis has spent the past two hours rummaging through the basement of the papal apartments in search of the Vaticans plastic nativity scene figures, sources confirmed Friday. After climbing over dusty cases of sacramental wine and bins filled with mothballed vestments, the pope reportedly found the sets plywood manger in a corner of the room near the sump pump, though sources noted he has yet to locate all the blow-molded polyethylene representations of the Holy Family and their Christmas visitors. Oh, come on, wheres the third wise man? the spiritual leader of 1.2 billion Roman Catholics said as he pushed aside several priceless Raphael and Fra Angelico paintings to peer into a cardboard box, aided by the dim light of a bare bulb hanging overhead. I couldve sworn I put him away with everybody else. Theres a ton of donkeys and sheep in here, but a lot of good that does me with only two wise men. Jeez. I dont have time for this, he added. Ive still got an epistle that needs to be finished. Designed for outdoor use, the 14-piece set of internally lit plastic figurines was first purchased by Pope John Paul II in 1981, and every year since, according to Vatican observers, the reigning pontiff has personally assembled the nativity scene outside the Apostolic Palace in Saint Peters Square. The display, including the colored lights that outline the manger and wrap around a few of the piazzas iconic Tuscan colonnades, is reportedly powered by an extension cord running from an outlet in the papal garage. After testing to confirm that Mary would still light up when plugged in, Francis noted that the winters had taken their toll on the Blessed Virgin, wearing away most of the paint on her face. He also added that he would likely have to display the statue of a kneeling Joseph at an awkward angle, so as to obscure the dent in his head suffered during Benedict XVIs papacy. Sources within the Holy See said that Francis has expressed dismay at his predecessors lax oversight of the nativity scene, complaining about last Christmashis first since assuming the Chair of St. Peterwhen two long-missing shepherds and an Angel of the Lord were eventually discovered in a tub mislabeled winter coats. You know what? I dont think this baby Jesus is even from the same set, said the pope in audible exasperation, pointing out that the unpainted plastic infant he found beneath a tangled ball of Christmas lights and a bag of old palm ashes had a much more simplistic design than the rest of the figures. Ugh. I honestly wouldnt mind if I thought people wouldnt notice, but he might not even fit inside the manger. Hes nearly the same size as Mary, for Gods sake, Francis continued. According to reports, the Holy Father spent 15 minutes this morning on an unsuccessful attempt to assemble the Christ Childs crib, but after snapping the dowel used to hold its wooden slats together, he is said to have tossed the whole thing aside in frustration. Exhausted from his search through the basement, the 77-year-old pontiff reportedly grew even more aggravated after banging his knee on a table and knocking over a stack of relics, including several shards from the True Cross and a wrist bone of St. Gregory the Great. Well, it looks like were going without a Star of Bethlehem this year, the pope said before emitting an extended sigh. Weve got so many goddamn packages of tinsel down here, I guess Ill just dangle some of that from the roof and call it a day. If Cardinal [Angelo] Sodano complains, he can deal with it himself. Ive already spent way too much time on this. Added the pope, Right now, I really need to climb to the top of the Basilica dome and get Santas sleigh mounted on the roof. 
2	WATCH THIS, Even Bill Clinton Thinks Obama Is Incompetent We dont usually agree with Bill Clinton, but recently he made some comments about President Obama that are spot-on. Ive heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than Ive heard from Obama, Clinton told reporters, according to the Washington Times. I have no relationship with the presidentnone whatsoever, he continued. Obama doesnt know how to be president. He doesnt know how the world works. Hes incompetent. Hes an amateur. Clintons comments come at a controversial time. His wife is currently under fire for the decisions she made while working for the Obama administration. What do you think? Do you agree with Clinton just this one time? 
1	Responding to the ongoing nuclear crisis in Japan, officials from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission sought Thursday to reassure nervous Americans that U.S. reactors were 100 percent safe and posed absolutely no threat to the public health as long as no unforeseeable system failure or sudden accident were to occur. 'With the advanced safeguards we have in place, the nuclear facilities in this country could never, ever become a danger like those in Japan, unless our generators malfunctioned in an unexpected yet catastrophic manner, causing the fuel rods to melt down,' said NRC chairman Gregory Jaczko, insisting that nuclear power remained a clean, harmless energy source that could only lead to disaster if events were to unfold in the exact same way they did in Japan, or in a number of other terrifying and totally plausible scenarios that have taken place since the 1950s. 'When you consider all of our backup cooling processes, containment vessels, and contingency plans, you realize that, barring the fact that all of those safety measures could be wiped away in an instant by a natural disaster or electrical error, our reactors are indestructible.' Jaczko added that U.S. nuclear power plants were also completely guarded against any and all terrorist attacks, except those no one could have predicted. 
3	Police Will Be Able To Read Everyones Internet Search History Under New PlanBy John Vibes Richard Berry, the National Police Chiefs Council spokesman told The Guardian that We want to police by consent, and we want to ensure that privacy safeguards are in place. But we need to balance this with the needs of the vulnerable and the victims. We essentially need the who, where, when and what of any communication who initiated it, where were they and when did it happened. And a little bit of the what, were they on Facebook, or a banking site, or an illegal child-abuse image-sharing website? Five years ago, [a suspect] could have physically walked into a bank and carried out a transaction. We could have put a surveillance team on that but now, most of it is done online. We just want to know about the visit, he added. It is likely that police are alreadylooking at your online activity, but just want the power to do it legally. As we learned from whistleblower Edward Snowden, governments are very interested what their citizens are doing online, and they do have the technology to spy on every telephone call and Internet communication. Police in the UK have been attempting to reach for these powers through legislation for years, but they have been blocked on multiple occasions. This new effort proves that they will not be giving up on getting legal permission for their spying programs. MP David Davis told The Guardian Its extraordinary theyre asking for this again, they are overreaching and there is no proven need to retain such data for a year. Home Secretary Theresa May will announce the specifics of the plan during a meeting about the Governments new surveillance bill in the House of Commons on Wednesday. Ive said many times before that it is not possible to debate the balance between privacy and security, including the rights and wrongs of intrusive powers and the oversight arrangements that govern them without also considering the threats that we face as a country, May said. They include not just terrorism from overseas and home-grown in the UK, but also industrial, military and state espionage.They include not just organized criminality, but also the proliferation of once physical crimes online, such as child sexual exploitation. And the technological challenges that that brings. In the face of such threats we have a duty to ensure that the agencies whose job it is to keep us safe have the powers they need to do the job, she added. The fearmongers in the UK are government are hoping that the bill will pass this time around, ushering in a new era of legalized mass surveillance.

It never ceases to amaze me that we elect our mortal enemies. And even though we see the end result people still scream for democracy. Democracy is always destined to degenerate. At least when the UK was actually a kingdom there was a CHANCE that a new king would put an end to this kind of crap but with democracy it will just get worse and worse.

After the long drive or flight home, and after all the hugs and kisses, youll want to have something intriguing to talk about with your family heres just the topic to break the ice. ((((( Race of Father African )))) This entry is actually on Barack Hussein Obamas Birth Certificate, and best of all, your family and friends dont have to be specially trained police detectives to see the proof. Its right on the Birth Certificate. Why is Race of Father African such Amazing Proof of a Forgery? Because being African is not a race. There are (((( FORTY SEVEN )))) different and unique countries in Africa and everyone in Africa of all races, languages, and religions, is African. Putting such a vague and generic term would have never been approved. Heres an amazing official U.S. Government document which lists how America designated races of persons in 1961. This mission was charged to some very well educated persons and is the go-to document to determine racial designations in America in 1961. Vital Statistics of the United States in 1961 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH STATISTICS Page 231 Race and Color Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and other nonwhite.

Talking Points: 1. The Birth Certificate copy on the White House Web site isnt a copy at all, its the original, poorly forged attempt to try and prove American citizenship and eligibility to be president. 2. There are ((((( FORTY SEVEN )))) different countries within the continent of Africa, and everyone born in Africa, of all races, religions, and languages, is African. 3. Being African is no more a racial designation than being an American is. 4. The Barack Hussein Obama Birth Certificate is a 100% forgery.

Theyve probably been able to do this since Windoze 95 anyway. then its time to make cops targets then CREATE the problem OFFER the solution. Just like the MOB does!!! BURN, ROB, BEAT UP then offer the solution to STOP it. This is what happens when cops retaliate after getting caught porn-surfing on some random wifi network while on duty. most likely our global intelligence and law enforcement services has been doing this for years already. I wonder how many flags I have triggered with my last decade of subversive search pattern.. 
1	SAN FRANCISCODr. Xu Shui Xian Liang, a founding member of the Autonomous Federation of Beijing's Workers in Tiananmen Square who spent 12 years in a labor camp for his involvement in the anti-dictatorship effort during the Cultural Revolution, is ready with your order. 'That's one chipotle chicken-filet sandwich, two large regular saladstofu bacon on one, a white-chicken-chili soup, and three low-fat blondies,' said the former leader of the students' movement in the Guang Tong province. 'Would you like your receipt?' Xu, who was tortured into confessing to stealing state assets in collusion with organized crime shortly before he defected to the U.S. in 1999, is sorry, he will be right back with that Diet Coke. 
1	With his team down 3-2 to the Lakers in the Western Conference Semifinals, Rockets forward Ron Artest explained in a postgame interview Tuesday that he lives for the pressure and excitement of the NBA Playoffs as well as a plateful of sweet, crunchy coconut shrimp. 'That's why I'm here. This is what it's all about,' Artest said while dunking one of several jumbo-sized postgame coconut shrimp into a cup of pia colada dipping sauce. 'I love the NBA. I really love it. Just as I love coconut shrimp.' Basketball commentators have responded to Artest's claims by saying they are 'really in the mood for coconut shrimp.' 
2	Questions Rise About Obamas Tears During Speech Its hard to believe anything that President Barack Obama says or does these days. So its no wonder that following his emotional address to the country about gun control, many Americans have questions about whether or not the tears Obama was shedding were genuine. Many believe that there is evidence that Obama was actually acting. First and foremost, the president reportedly began wiping tears away before any actually tears even appeared. And his voice remained composed throughout the entire speech, without so much as a quiver. Some also argue that it is possible that Obama had put something on his hand or finger to help bring on the tears, given that his eyes began turning red immediately after wiping his eyes. Of course, its hard to confirm these suspicions, but there is one thing we do knowObama has had a hard time showing emotions virtually anywhere elseunless that emotion is fear. What can be concluded is that Obama was desperate to implement his policies regarding gun control, and he needed to justify his use of executive action to do so. What do you think? Is this just another attempt at manipulating the American public? 
2	San Bernardino Islamic Terrorists Entered The U.S. Through Obamas Immigration System Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were two of the three radical Islamic terrorists that killed 14 in the San Bernardino shootout. It has just been discovered that they entered the U.S. through Obamas immigration system. They are Pakistani-natives, cleared through the vetting process by using fake identification information. After hearing of this, Obama announced that were cool with how we vet. The vetting process is not up to par, and Obamas inability to see this is putting America in danger. Does Obama need to be impeached before there is another terrorist attack in America? 
1	Conveying their eagerness to dodge the possibility of any classroom role-playing exercises or featured guest speakers, 10th-grade students at East High School told reporters Thursday they were thankful that the implementation of a standardized curriculum had spared them from their free-spirited English teachers antics. Im just relieved that Mr. [Aaron] Honing has to teach straight to the test and cant do anything like recite an original poem out loud and then urge us to express ourselves through poetry too, said 16-year-old Peter Macpherson, adding that were it not for nationally established achievement benchmarks, his teacher would likely feel free to engage in all sorts of creative activities, such as organizing a class trip to a colonial homestead during their reading of The Scarlet Letter or coming into class dressed as Mark Twain. Thank God we all take a single, statewide exam at the end of the year, so theres no way hes going to waste class time with any inspirational speeches encouraging us to excel as unique individuals. The students confirmed they were happy to memorize as many rote facts as necessary rather than listen to Mr. Honing speak in Middle English for their entire Chaucer unit. 
1	Newly engaged couple Tom Kerry and Jessica Tompkins unveiled their wedding website on Tuesday, helpfully posting the page online for the benefit of guests attending the upcoming October nuptials to mock, ridicule, and repeatedly insult, sources report. Family and friends of the couple confirmed that the site Tom and Jess: Our Wedding, which they created on the site TheKnot.com and customized over the course of two months with personal stories, photographs, and ceremony details, thoughtfully features a bounty of insufferable content for visitors to mercilessly scoff at. A poetic recounting of their first date? Are they for real? said longtime friend of the bride Delia Xiao while browsing the websites Our Story page, a collection of personal narratives, favorite memories, and factoids the couple spent several weeks brainstorming. Jess met Tom two years ago / Would it be true love? She did not know. Wow. That has to be the dumbest thing ever written. What a pair of dorks, she added. Describing the couples carefully composed website as a real gem that people need to get a load of right now, wedding guests confirmed that the couple spared no effort in crafting the sites aesthetic, scrupulously selecting a design motif, color palette, and font scheme thats absolutely perfect for anyone who wants a good laugh. Friends particularly urged each other to visit the couples unintentionally hilarious photo gallery, a meticulously curated series of fall-themed snapshots featuring Kerry and Tompkins dressed up in different outfits sitting on a log, kissing in an apple orchard, and, for reasons that must be known only to them, tossing an armful of leaves into the air. In addition, sources said that the extensive FAQ tab, which reportedly sheds light on absolutely vital questions such as Will the band be taking requests at the reception? reportedly received responses including Who gives a shit? Why do I care? and Heres a frequently asked question: Is this website dumb or what? I cant wait to work my way through this long list of things to do in Charlotteafter all, well be staying there for so long! groomsman Jake Whaley said while reading the sites thoroughly researched guide of popular tourist attractions and shopping outlets. Did you know that the city has one of Americas four photography museums? Ill definitely want to spend some money there after paying $900 for my flight and hotel. Tom and Jess truly thought of everything. And look, heres a hand-drawn map I can print out in case Im physically unable to type directions into Google, he continued. Im going to print out at least 10 of these! Sources confirmed that in the last few days alone, visitors have linked to the wedding website in dozens of emails, chats, and private Facebook messages, snidely urging others to sit down and buckle up for the Wedding Party section with painstakingly fact-checked biographies of the wedding party, the Contact Us page with just the bride and grooms email addresses, and the Accommodations page featuring a bulleted list of amenities at the local Hilton Garden Inn. Rounding out the websites utter ridiculousness, friends said, is a Registry page complete with links to personalized lists of goods from Macys, Crate & Barrel, and Bed Bath & Beyond that the couple, who reportedly still live in a rented apartment with three roommates, apparently need to own. When reached for comment, the couple said they were delighted that the webpage has proved so popular among their friends. I cant believe our How Well Do You Know Tom & Jess quiz has been taken over 100 times already! an excited Tompkins said of the questionnaire that friends have taken multiple times each in order to repeatedly laugh at the questions and answers. Its so nice to know people are actually making good use of the site and having a little fun before the wedding. At press time, friends confirmed that, in fairness, the idea of taking a trolley from the church to the reception hall was actually pretty cool. 
3	The War Against The People: Fear And Loathing In NY And DCBy Jon Rappoport Vladimir Putin is the secret president of the United States. Yep. Thats it. The US is now the USSR. Its all over. Trump is a Communist who took orders from Putin. Trump is a Red. That was his game all along. Hes a billionaire Commie. Here is how this would play out in a reasonable court, in the judges chambers Prosecutor: Your Honor, were prepared to offer proof that Putin personally influenced the election in favor of Trump. Trumps Lawyer: Nonsense. This is a ruse. Judge: Mr. Prosecutor, what is the nature your proof? Prosecutor: We will bring several CIA people to the stand and they will say they have proof. Judge: Will they back up those statements with evidence, so Mr. Trumps attorney can cross-examine them? Prosecutor: No. Secrets must be kept. Judge: Not in my court. End of story. Think about this: what will the major media do when their latest fiction about the Russians and Trump sinks below the waves? Theyre lying so hard and so oftenis there any end to it? The answer is no. Theyre committed. They cant turn back. Theyre committing slow suicide in full view of the public. It almost feels like they want to go down. Stop me before I kill again. Men and women of the news, whose whole act depends on securing trust and admiration from the public, are squandering whatever is left of it in the space of a few months. Well, they didnt believe that outrageous lie. Lets try one thats even more ridiculous. Now they want to censor news which fails to fit their picture. And if they dont watch out, theyll take down Facebook, YouTube, and Twittertheir enablerswith them, as people find new social-media outposts. Trumplove him, hate him, whateveris playing his role. Hes virtually winning a new election every time the major media slam him and he comes back with a tweet that simply announces, Youre full of it. Influential papers like the NY Times and the Washington Post have gotten a free pass for as long as theyve been in business. Their staffs have developed a massive sense of their own importance, their own infallibility. Theyre like popeswhove suddenly been exposed, in leaked documents, for falsely claiming Jesus wanted the Catholic Church built in his name. George Orwell: A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible. Recognize were in a unique situation here. This has never happened beforecertainly not in a highly sophisticated civilization where the official means of communicating information were limited to a few basic sources. Those sources have now lost faith with the people. Instead, huge numbers of new outlets have emerged. The mainstream is beginning to realize how great the shift is. A centralized reality splitting up equals a centralized and hypnotized perception of reality splitting up. Centralized reality, by its very nature, presents a false picture. In the absence of that monopoly, many new true stories emerge that were previously hidden. Each of these stories is, in effect, a new reality holding a candle in the dark. Virtually all major news sources agreeing on the substance of virtually all important stories, over the course of decades, is completely unnatural and absurd. That agreement must be engineered. Concocted. Invented. The consistent concoction is dissolving in the minds of the public. It no longer holds sway. Hillary Clinton and her supporters should be thanked for contributing to this break-up. The public is viewing their actions as those of a child who refuses to admit she herself is at fault, and instead throws blame in every possible direction: thousands of fake news sites; the Russians; Putin; pollsters who failed to warn of impending doom; the Electoral College system; the deplorables; WikiLeaks; the FBI. Its not our fault. Its everybody elses fault. Thank you, thank you. Keep finding new people to blame. How about the Chinese, the Brexit supporters, some guy who owns a gas station in Death Valley, a massive tribe who live on the dark side of the moon and illegally voted for Trump? Dont stop now. Interestingly, the big donors to Hillary Clintons failed campaign, who are shocked and irate after forking over their money, arent eagerly drinking the Putin Kool-Aid. Theyre hard-headed, and they want real-life answers. As Politico writes (12/15): the wealthy Democrats who helped pump over $1 billion into Clintons losing effort have been urging their local finance staffers, state party officials, and campaign aides to provide a more thorough explanation of what went wrong. With no dispassionate, centralized analysis of how Clinton failed so spectacularly, they insist, how can they be expected to keep contributing to the party? A lot of the bundlers and donors still are in shock and disbelief by what happened. Theyre looking for some introspection and analysis about what really happened, what worked and what didnt, said Ken Martin, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and a top campaign bundler himself. It may take some time to do that, but people are still just scratching their heads. Or, in the words of a Midwestern fundraiser whos kept in touch with fellow donors, A lot of people are saying, Im not putting another fucking dime in until someone tells me what just happened.' The CIA-connected Washington Post can pump out as many Putin-did-it articles as they want to. But the big Clinton donors are unimpressed. Dont look for major media outlets to give those donors much face time. It would explode the blame-game narrative. The NY Times is now calling Trump a threat to democracy. Translation: Trump is a threat to the NY Times, and by extension, all major mediabecause the Times is usually the first voice that sounds in the news echo chamber that bounces fake stories among hundreds of outlets from shore to shore. Im waiting for the term Russian denialist to pop up in the press, as a label for reporters who ignore a mountain of evidence that Putin hacked the election and handed it to Donald Trump. Stay with us. Coming up after the break, a list of Russian denialists who refuse to believe whats in front of their eyes, say government officials. Some of the names will shock you. But first, six commercials for medical drugs you dont need that could put you in the hospital The media bubble is the ultimate symbol of whats wrong with this country. Its just a circle of people talking to themselves who have no fing idea whats going on. If The New York Times didnt exist, CNN and MSNBC would be a test pattern. The Huffington Post and everything else is predicated on The New York Times. Its a closed circle of information from which Hillary Clinton got all her information and her confidence. That was our opening. Steve Bannon, Trumps chief strategist and senior counselor The major medias depth of hatred for Donald Trump is beyond most peoples understanding. Most people cant fathom it, because they believe they know who these media personages are. They see them on television or read their words every day. How bad could these reporters be? Very, very bad. The media personages see themselves as 12th-generation feudal barons who are suddenly surrounded by the peasants stealing their land, crops, animals, homes, and royal titles. Here is what Paul Krugman of the NY Times recently wrote about Trump: Thought: There was (rightly) a cloud of illegitimacy over Bush, dispelled (wrongly) by 9/11. Creates some interesting incentives for Trump. As if Trump might secretly provoke another huge terror attack on US soil and, by his response, improve his status in the eyes of the public. Heavy, heavy malevolent conspiracy theory from a baron at the Times. Back in February, WND reported on a tweet from another NY Times writer: A columnist with the New York Times caused a social media stir with a tweet that joked of billionaire businessman and GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trumps assassination. Good news guys, wrote Ross Douthat in his tweet, as found by Infowars.com. Ive figure out how the Trump campaign ends. Douthat is a foreign-policy expert who supports Marco Rubio and John Kasich. He then included a link to a YouTube video of the 1983 movie, The Dead Zone, a flick that features Christopher Walken as a character who tries to shoot to death a politician played by Martin Sheen. Sheens character uses a human baby to shield himself from the assassination attempt. This is the media battling for survival. Suppose, as rumored, Trump decides to re-cast the whole White House Press Office? Suppose, for example, he intends to deny many veteran reporters their press credentials, and instead welcomes independent journalists? Suppose Trump decides to establish his own Web channel, and live-streams many fireside chats directly to a global audience, without even letting the press know his schedule? Suppose the New York Times and the Washington Post fall to the bottom of the pile, left to scramble for crumbs? Yes, things could get much worse for major media. And they should, because they have been lying to the public ever since the first brick was laid on their first office building. Trumps war on the media should become a centerpiece of his presidency. If not, they will shatter his term in office. I hope he understands that fully. Suppose Trumps inside man, Steve Bannon, puts his head together with a few deep-pocket investors and shows them how to create strong social-media alternatives to Twitter and Facebook, who are now trying to censor and bury independent online media operations? Suppose Julian Assange and Project Veritas James OKeefe vault to the top of the press hierarchy? Suppose the American people laugh the Times and WaPo and CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and FOX out of court? Suppose their echo chamber falls apart? The major medias fear and loathing of Trump knows no bounds. Their loyalty to Hillary Clinton, who played a central role in the inhuman decimation of Libya, and whose Foundation set up a parallel government stop-and shop for global greedheads, is without conscience. If you think independent media need your support now, watch what is going to happen in the coming months and years. Big media will keep throwing nasty conspiracy theories like cakes of dreck at the wall, hoping something, anything sticks to fake news sites. These liberals are so firmly in the Globalist camp, they wouldnt know how to escape even if they wanted to. The very notion that America might reassert itself as a sovereign nation is a silver bullet aimed at their vampire hearts. Theyve been sucking all the blood they can out of this country, with their kind and gentle share and care con job. It pays for their lifestyles, and they fully intend to maintain their status. Not quite on the level of George Washingtons Farewell Address or Eisenhowers last warning to America about the military-industrial complex, here is Obama at his final press conferencetortured logic, generalized garbled garbage, and veiled threats of censorshiplooking for scapegoats after the election put a cap on his failed presidency: If fake news thats being released by some foreign government is almost identical to reports that are being issued through [domestic] partisan news venues, then its not surprising that that foreign propaganda will have a greater effect. It doesnt seem that farfetched compared to some of the other stuff folks are hearing from domestic propagandists. To the extent that our political dialogue is such that everything is under suspicion, everybodys corrupt and everybody is doing things for partisan reasons and all of our institutions are, you know full of malevolent actors and if thats the story that is being put out there, then when a foreign government introduces that same argument, the facts are made up, voters who have been listening to that stuff for years, who have been getting that stuff every day from talk radio or other venues, theyre going to believe it. So, if we if we want to really reduce foreign influence on our elections, then we better think about how to make sure that our our political process, our political dialogue is stronger than its been. Then Obama basically characterized the totality of the WikiLeaks emails as gossip. That was his overheated swan song. His message for the media was: stick to the script; you know what it is; why did you cover material detrimental to The Plan? So, dear reader, you can choose to obtain your news from purveyors of the Plan, or you can explore and keep exploring independent sources. What is The Plan? Aiding and abetting the descent of America into a nation swallowed up in a global management system, where the Constitution, freedom, and the individual are relics of a discarded past. Donald Trump is not The Answer. He never was. A declaration of independence can take many forms, articulated by many individuals, and backed up in different ways. Whats your way?

3	Poop Whistleblower Needed at U.S. EPACatherine J. Frompovich However, heres the question this writer is grappling with regarding snitching on pooping in EPA hallways: Who will come forward as a whistleblower regarding the poopster(s) at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency when whistleblowers always get the crappy end of the stick from government and the feds? Also, What type of espionage action will the feds cite regarding crapping in hallways so that pooper whistleblowers can be placed in prison for several years? Or, Is some thoughtful EPA employeeor possibly a visitorcourageously leaving hints telling the EPA whats wrong with it in how its fulfilling its mission? Originally, the U.S. EPA was Born in the wake of elevated concern about environmental pollution, EPA was established on December 2, 1970 to consolidate in one agency a variety of federal research, monitoring, standard-setting and enforcement activities to ensure environmental protection. Since its inception, EPA has been working for a cleaner, healthier environment for the American people. [1] [CJF emphasis added] One way EPA can clean up its crappy mis-handling agenda is to get out of corporate back pockets. Another is to unload all deadwood its carrying and employ individuals who know something about clean upnot how to be adept in corporate brown-nosing, smooching and politicsand enforce proper pollution controls. Another area EPA must revisit is to get scientific facts correct about genetically modified seed and crop pesticides. According to EPAs Regulation of Biotechnology for Use in Pest Management To address these challenges, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shared responsibility for regulating agricultural biotechnology in the United States. In particular, EPA regulates pesticides created through biotechnology as a part of its regulatory jurisdiction over all pesticides marketed and used in the United States. As such, EPA has tailored its basic regulatory framework to fit the distinctive characteristics of these genetically engineered biological pesticides. [3] [CJF emphasis added] In that capacity, EPA should be called on the carpet by Congress for inadvertently permitting inordinate amounts of glyphosate to be sprayed on GMO/GE crops growing in the fields because weeds have become resistant to glyphosate thereby requiring more glyphosate spraying. Heres an example of what happens with crops: A major concern is the development of glyphosate (Roundup) resistance in junglerice in California. Rotating glyphosate-resistant corn with other glyphosate-resistant crops such as cotton or alfalfa will only increase this problem. To help prevent the development of herbicide-resistant weeds and prevent weed shifts from occurring, it is important to incorporate tillage into your weed management practices, as well as alternating or tank-mixing herbicides that have different chemical modes of action. [4] [CJF emphasis added] Another aspect of glyphosate, according to the Organic Consumers Association, is: In May, the EPA announced a final ruling to increase, yet again, the allowed residue limits in food and animal feed of glyphosate, the key active ingredient in Monsantos Roundup herbicide. Under the ruling, the allowed glyphosate level in animal feed will rise to 100 parts per million (ppm) and 40 ppm in oilseed crops. [5] [CJF emphasis added] Why, EPA, are you allowing an increase of more parts per million of glyphosate in animal feed and oilseed crops, e.g., canola seeds in particular? Quite frankly, this writer has to ask, Are you crazy? That EPA final ruling alone demonstrates, if not documents, the exorbitant amount of glyphosate being sprayed on field crops. And, heres still another part of the credibility problem at EPA, as demonstrated at a congressional hearing, when EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy found herself in a hot seat of questions (video link) she apparently had trouble answering. Furthermore, the toxic CTS site in Asheville is just one of numerous apparent mis-handlings by the EPA. After being asked for a commitment at the congressional hearing, McCarthy was non-committal. Heres how that went: McCarthy didnt commit but said she would do her best. She did acknowledge the importance of addressing the CTS site saying, This is actually a site that could significantly impact public health, so I think its important that we keeping moving this forward. [2] In my 2009 book, Our Chemical Lives And The Hijacking Of Our DNA, A Probe Into Whats Probably Making Us Sick, available on Amazon.com, I devoted Chapter 20, The U.S. EPA: A Paper Tiger Without Teeth?, to EPAs shortcomings and listed several that readers may not know about and probably should. Ultimately, finding the poopster(s) at EPA definitely is important; however, EPAs cleaning up their crappy handlings of environmental and toxic issues is equally importantif not paramount. Please stop crappin around!

2	Anonymous Releases List Of Companies That Support ISIS Its hard to believe that there are major United States corporations supporting the terrorist organization who is attacking our country, but according to the hacktivist group Anonymous, there are quite a few of them operating. This is absolutely despicable. Fortunately, Anonymous has made this information available so that Americans can chose which companies they support and stay informed. The companies included in the list are primarily web hosting companieswhich is a huge problem considering ISIS use of social media and the internet to spread their propaganda and recruit new members. These websites were collected by monitoring Islamic State accounts on Twitter and logging them over a period of three months, an Anonymous member told the International Business Times. We believe it is critical for the world to see who is hosting this type of content and we believe they should be held accountable, the member continued. These web assets pose a great risk as they are a source of recruitment of Islamic state and a communications platform used to conduct atrocities against humankind. The largest offender on the list was a company named CloudFlare, who has been repeatedly made aware of the content their software is protecting. What do you think? Are you grateful that companies like Anonymous are working to reveal the truth and strip ISIS of their power? 
2	McDonalds Makes INSANE Announcement Amid Mass Closings Of Walmart Following the suspicious closings of five Walmarts across the country, there have been several conspiracy theories circulating the web. Although the superstore claims that they closed the locations due to plumbing issues, there are many unanswered questions. Like, for instance, why 2,200 employees were suddenly laid off with just a few hours notice. Some argue that the closures are part of what is being called the retail apocalypse, or a string of national chains announcing that they will be closing several of their stores in bulk. In fact, the latest chain to join this apocalypse is McDonalds, who just announced that they will be closing 700 locations across the United States. Critics speculate that fast food sales have dropped because Americans are turning to healthier options. Of course, McDonalds has made attempts to introduce healthier options to their menu, and reports indicate that the restaurant chain will be testing items like a Turkey Sausage Egg White bowl with kale. What do you think of McDonalds new approach? Could the Walmart closures simply be part of the apocalypse or is there more to the story? 
3	Joining NATO: Ukraine a Warning to OthersBy Ulson Gunnar In order to even raise the prospect of Ukraines inclusion, first NATO itself would have to overthrow the elected government via an armed coup. Then it would have to ensure its new client regime remained in power. To do that, it organized, trained, funded, armed and militarily backed a patchwork of military units, including volunteer battalions openly founded upon Nazi ideology. In the process of building this obedient client regime, Ukraine would entirely lose the Crimean peninsula when its population voted to join the Russian Federation. While Kiev and its NATO patrons claim Crimea was invaded and is now being occupied by Russia, the people of Crimea are clearly counting themselves lucky to have escaped the fate of other regions with large Russian demographics. Several of Ukraines eastern-most oblasts were not so lucky. Upon coming to power, the regime, tainted with Neo-Nazi ideology imported by coalition members such as Svoboda, began instituting anti-Russian policies which included rolling back many of the privileges and compromises long made by previous governments to accommodate Ukraines large Russian minority. Neo-Nazi volunteer battalions were sweeping the country, imposing Kievs authority and attempting to preempt any counter protests that might threaten its grip on power. Their heavy handed tactics coupled with the peoples deep-seated hatred for their Neo-Nazi political and ideological stripes quickly provoked violence. Several oblastsrose up in armed rebellion against the new regime and its Neo-Nazi enforcers. As a result, Ukraine now has effectively lost Donetsk andLuhansk as well. And while Ukraine shrinks territoriality, what remains becomes increasingly divided within. The halls of Ukraines government have of late become notorious for outrageous scenes of violence and disorder altogether locked in absolute dysfunction, incompetence and inaction. While many of the scenes making headlines in recent months may appear comical to outsiders, the world should note that the lives of millions are subjected to the decisions (or indecision) of these politicians. For many nations, both East and West, the idea that one politician would attempt to pick up and physically remove the Prime Minster from his podium is almost unthinkable. Yet just such a scene played out just before a large, violent brawl unfolded shortly after. Onlookers must remember that the current regime in Kiev has all but expunged any semblance of real opposition, so those physically assaulting each other in Ukraines parliament are actually, supposedly, on the same side. Another scene unbecoming of the halls of political power, played out as the ex-Georgian president,Mikheil Saakashvili, vocally berated Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, provoking him to throw a filled glass of water at Saakashvili. It should be noted that Saakashvili has inexplicably become the governor of Odessa, despite obvious questions regarding his nationality, political and criminal past, and qualifications to even hold such a position. Saakashvili isnt the only foreigner now running the Ukrainian government (this openly). There is alsoDavid Sakvarelidze, also from Georgia, now Ukraines deputy prosecutor general. It seems in NATOs new Ukraine, all of Eastern Europe is one big happy family/front with which to fight Russia, and the norms that generally govern national sovereignty and those allowed to lead ones nation have been shown the door, together with dignity and statesmanship. When NATOs new Ukraine is not losing territory to those disinterested in living within its borders, but equally disinterested in leaving their homes, and when the Ukrainian government is not busy fighting itself in pauses between fighting its own people, NATO sits them down to literally lecture them on how to run their country. US Vice President Joseph Biden recently traveled to Ukraineto lecture the parliament. In his talk, he went on at length like a father scolding his son, over the harm corruption does to a nation. And speaking of Vice President Bidens son, and also corruption for that matter, it should be mentioned that at no time during Vice President Bidens talk, was it explained how the appointment of his own son, Hunter Biden, as a director in Ukraines Burisma gas company, was not a perfect example of abuse of power, nepotism and of course, corruption. The BBCs article Vice President Joe Bidens son joins Ukraine gas company explains further by stating: The younger Mr Biden isnt the only American with political ties to have recently joined Burismas board. Devon Archer, a former senior advisor to current Secretary of State John Kerrys 2004 presidential campaign and a college roommate of Mr Kerrys stepson HJ Heinz, signed on in April. Mr Biden and Mr Archer are also managing partners at Rosemont Seneca Partners, a Washington, DC-based investment company. Perhaps Vice President Bidens talk was actually about irony? Or hypocrisy? For a Ukraine that claims it overthrew an elected government to escape Russian domination, one now must question that decision seriously as clearly Ukraine is now under NATO domination. There are other nations the United States and NATO are courting. But considering the fate of Ukraine, it will likely take coups, terrorism, and coercing, unparalleled even to what Ukraine has suffered, in order to strong-arm them into the alliance. The loss of territory to those disinterested in NATO membership and all that it entails, the loss of national sovereignty or dignity as NATO imports foreigners to run their country for them, the prospect of ethnic persecution at the hands of NATO-backed extremists, the loss of any sense of destiny or progress with inept, infighting proxies intentionally kept needy and dependent on Washington and Brussels, are all not exactly ideal enticements on their own. Ukraine had been doing far better playing both sides of the NATO-Russian coin, a strategy many nations throughout history have used to avoid being dominated by any number of competing foreign interests. With the NATO-backed coup in 2013-2014, this balancing act has been upset, and Ukraine has come tumbling down from great heights. It will take years, if not longer for the nation to recover from the damage its courtship with NATO has wrought. This tumble is something the rest of Eastern Europe, and indeed, all other nations globally must consider before trading in careful balancing acts for the close embrace of geopolitical hegemony.

3	Emotional Robots Aim to Become Mans New Best FriendUpdate to the ongoing mission to establish an emotional connection between humans and robots. selfnews Post As the evolution of humanoid robots continues to quicken, it is forcing the question of whether or not we we will love our robotic overlords. Or, are they not overlords at all, but soon to be just part of the family? Well-known transhumanists such as Ray Kurzweil have made their love affair with robots quite clear, despite some already negativeeconomic impactsthat robots are having on their human counterparts. One of the stated missions after all is to supposedly unburden humanity from all of the grunt work. Beyond the economic and military concerns, the commitment to reverse engineer the human brain coupled with the exponential increase in computing power is forcing the discussion toward the social impact robotics will have. As you will read below, several studies already have been done which aim to assess whether humans can develop true emotional relationships with robots. Some show promise. Newer robots are being produced with the intention of manipulating emotional triggers by mimicking actions of the human autonomic nervous system sweating, breathing and even developing goosebumps in response to social situations. Its all part of a move to make robots seem less creepy and more like real members of society. Researchers are taking multiple angles to establish these connections. This first video is from a new studio in Paris offering the cute angle. Meet Pepper Robots and Artificial Intelligence already have gained some level of interaction with humans, but so far it has been a push-pull between competition and cooperation. Here are just a few current examples: One study set out to discover just how far along we are in human-robot relations. German researchers from the International Communication Association made some revealing discoveries within a group of participants. In order to judge a strict emotional connection, two studies focused on empathy. Would people have empathy for something they knew not to be live being? And would they have the same level of empathy toward both humans and robots? In the first study, 40 participants watched videos of a small dinosaur-shaped robot that was treated in an affectionate or a violent way and measured their level of physiological arousal and asked for their emotional state directly after the videos. Participants reported feeling more negative watching the robot being abused and showed higher arousal during the negative video. The second study used functional magnetic-resonance imaging (fMRI), to investigate potential brain correlations of human-robot interaction in contrast to human-human interaction. The 14 participants were presented videos showing a human, a robot and an inanimate object, again being treated in either an affectionate or in a violent way. Researchers found that individuals displayed similar neural activation patterns for affection, indicating that they elicit similar emotional reactions. However, when comparing videos showing abusive behavior, participants showed more negative empathetic concern for humans. (Source) This was a small group of participants, but it would seem that, based on this study, the edge was given slightly to humans. However, it is interesting to note that the areas most often cited across the board as targeted for eliminating humans in favor of robotic assistance are the very vocations that would seem to require the most empathy: One goal of current robotics research is to develop robotic companions that establish a long-term relationship with a human user, because robot companions can be useful and beneficial tools. [] A common problem is that a new technology is exciting at the beginning, but this effect wears off especially when it comes to tasks like boring and repetitive exercise in rehabilitation. The development and implementation of uniquely humanlike abilities in robots like theory of mind, emotion and empathy is considered to have the potential to solve this dilemma. Tech site Motherboard posted a cheeky title for one of their articles that might promote some nervous laughter: To Avoid Your Family, Rent a Robotic Replacement. A Japanese company has focused on developing a new robot that offers a telepresence for your chosen robotic helper. Instead of rushing home, for example, why not just Skype your new robotic family member and set some tasks for taking care of ailing mom or dad, perhaps the toddler needs to be fed, or the dog needs to be let out 8 pm. While not all of these possibilities are explicitly mentioned or possible for the current model seen in the first video below, we have seen rapid development in the area of humanoid robots. As these robots increase in size, computing power, and a more life-like appearance, they are all but certain to be sold as valid additions to the family. NEC said it will rental plans for its PaPeRo robot will run as low as less than 10,000 per month, which is currently around $100. For that price, the 10 inch, three pound robot will sit around your parents house, using its camera, speakers, and facial recognition system to help take your place at home and connect you to people via a conduit thats more intuitive to interaction than simply leaving Skype running on a laptop on your coffee table. The main goal appears to be bringing bringing telepresence to the consumer market, and allow people to better connect with each other via robot avatars. The program will first be limited to Japan when it starts early next year, but the company expects to expand worldwide. In its announcement of the partner program, NEC said its looking for business partners to develop applications for the bot using NECs API and Cloud Federated robot platform. According to a Kyodo report, the robot can also be applied to such purposes as managing family members schedules as well as detecting suspicious individuals when family members are away from home. However, barriers remain toward widespread acceptance, and that is what University of Lincoln researchers have sought to identify. Their project is called ERWIN, a friendly robot that who might be able to take humans across the threshold of full acceptance of a robotic presence in our lives. ERWIN stands for Emotional Robot with Intelligent Network which is an attempt at bridging the gap between the highly rational world of computation and the illogical processes of the human brain that leads to our sometimes unpredictable human-to-human interactions. PhD student and lead researcher on the ERWIN project, Mriganka Biswas, explains the challenges in an interview with The Independent: When two people interact for the first time, if the two different personalities attract each other, a relationship forms. But, in the case of conventional human-robot interaction, after gathering information about the robot, the robots lack of identifiable characteristics and personality prevents any relationship bond developing. In the attempt to create these human-like identifiable characteristics, the team seeks to introduce what one might call quirks to ERWIN so that the line between robot and human will not be so severe. Furthermore, the study aims to discover whether a more emotional robot like ERWIN will be preferable to a more humanoid robot with less emotional range: Alongside ERWIN, the researchers will be looking at the responses people have to another robot, named Keepon. It is non-emotive, but is humanoid in appearance. By comparing how people react to ERWIN and Keepon, the researchers hope to discover which type of robot is more effective in engaging with humans, and which is more conducive to creating a long-term relationship. As you can see from the video below, ERWIN would never be visually mistaken for a human, and the 5 emotions displayed are rudimentary. It is likely that neither a completely non-human looking robot like ERWIN, nor a nearly perfect humanoid, but non-emotional robot like the one below will be the solution; for that, emotions will need to be wrapped in the correct skin for true acceptance. One aspect that some researchers feel has been missing are the emotional cues that come to us via the involuntary actions of the autonomic nervous system. As stated by Graham Templton who has covered new research in Japan: this team knows that if robots dont feel human, humans will never start feeling robots. What if a robot shivered and even got goosebumps in response to a cold breeze or a scary anecdote? What if you could feel its breath when it spoke, and more violently as the volume increases? What if it would bead with sweat due to heat, or even (fake) emotional stress? The idea behind these inventions is that we humans are more inclined to trust signals that are communicated involuntarily. So if a robot was to enter your bedroom in the middle of the night and say, Unknown human detected on the lower floor, youd be much more likely to take it seriously if that statement came accompanied by a worried face, heightened breath, and a trembling hand. The emotional timbre of the voice will also be incredibly important; somewhere, someone is writing an algorithm to auto-tune any statement from casual to urgent. (Source) And this covers everything. Some cybernetics experts even have suggested the possibility for a romantic connection between robots and/or humans by 2045, but this is generally seen as stretching the limits of what is possible. However, its not through lack of trying; there can be no doubt about the research taking place that seeks to enhance the current abilities of robotic caregivers and possibly additional family members or lovers. There is also a concurrent popularization of robot/human interaction in a more symbiotic way, rather than just as master and servant, which further paves the way toward full acceptance. Japan certainly seems to be at the forefront. We recently saw Obama bowing to a robot in Japan. And Paul McCartney is introducing Newman the robot on his latest tour through Tokyo and Osaka. You can see that strange video here where Newman tours a human museum and establishes a connection with McCartney. Perhaps the real question, however, is not how to get robots to act more human but how to keep humans from becoming robots once we can design new companions (or have them designed for us). Is the rise of the robots just a reflection of our own spiritual devolution? As we look around at our largely selfish, consumer-driven, pharma drug-taking, and increasingly violent society, do we really need more encouragement to shirk our duties toward our fellow companions and family by effectively outsourcing our emotions and responsibilities to the non-living? If we often stumble throughout meaningful emotional bonds within our own species, will robots really be any type of solution? Or will we really embark on an active path toward eliminating ourselves from the equation entirely? Other sources: Updated: 7/4/2014 Recently by Nicholas West: 
3	Kiev Wages Water WarsStephen Lendman On April 24, The Moscow Times headlined Water War With Ukraine to Devastate Crimean Harvest, saying: Itll cost Crimean farmers up to 5 billion rubles ($140 million), according to Russias Agricultural Ministry. Ag Minister Nikolai Fyodorov said crops will be partially or fully lost across 120,000 hectares of farmland Rice production is hit hardest. Moscow will partly compensate for losses. Southern Ukrainian Dnieper River water provides over 80% of Crimean water. It has few readily available internal sources. Earlier in April, Kiev cut water flows from 90 cubic meters per second to seven cubic meters. Its the lowest technically feasible volume, said The Moscow Times. Kievs decision to do so didnt wash. It reacted to Russian reunification. Its inflicting punishment in response. How effectively for how long remains to be seen. More on this below. According to Fyodorov: We are going to lose the irrigated crops this year. Maybe not 100 percent, but the greater part. In 2012, Crimeas agricultural output totaled $4.3 billion. Its about 10% of the peninsulas economy. Harvest losses this year could affect over 30% of Crimeas agricultural sector. Total Crimean agricultural land totals over 1,800 hectares. Most is arable. Its in Dzhankoy, Pervomayskoe, Krasnogvardeyskoe, Saki, Simferopol and Kirovskoe regions. Temperate and subtropical zone crops are grown. They include grapes, apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, cherries, aromatic plants, rapeseed and rice. High-quality wines, brandy and fruit juices are produced. Average annual production is around 120,000 tons of grapes and 14 16 million wine materials. Exports to dozens of countries follow. Livestock production includes poultry, sheep, pigs and cattle. Azov-Black Sea basin and inner basin fish breeding is growing. Milling produces around 280,000 tons of grain annually. Around 101,000 tons of bakery products are produced each year. So are 18,000 tons of noodles and 75 tons of macaroni. Canned fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, butter, other dairy products, beer and soft drinks are produced. On April 26, Voice of Russia headlined Crimean authorities say they have fallback water supply plan, not dependent on Kiev. Plenty of regional fresh water around, said Prime Minister Sergei Aksyanov. Crimea will not be left without water. Drinking water not affected. We have fallback plans. There are no problems with fresh water. Land is being redrawn in likely most affected areas. Agricultural producers will receive compensations for losses. No one will be left high and dry. We are also considering an alternative plan for drilling wells, and we are working on this day and night, Aksyanov explained. Kiev putschists act like enemies trying to cause their former fellow citizens harm. But they will get a proper assessment from the people of Crimea and will always be persona non-grata in the republic. Usually, those who mischief hatch, mischief catch. Kiev blocking plans circulated on April 18. At first, Ukraines Government Agency for Water Resources denied them. Earlier, Crimean Standing Commission of the State (economic/fiscal/investment policies) Council chairman Vitaly Nahlupin said advance payment was offered. Kiev sabotaged talks. Only about 5% of water needed comes through North Crimean Canal sluices. Other amounts were halted. Expect Kievs policy to be a temporary setback. Reunification with Russia promises far greater benefits than remaining in Ukraine. Separately, Lavrov called for ending Kievs Eastern Ukrainian offensive. He wants Right Sector killings halted. He raised the issue of political prisoners and urged the United States to use its influence for the release of protest movement leader arrested in southeastern Ukraine. According to Moscows Foreign Ministry: The attention of the Secretary of State has been drawn to the proposals of the Party of Regions and public movements of the southeast regarding the beginning of all-Ukraine national dialog and constitutional reform. Kerry assured that Washington will aspire to use its capabilities to encourage the Kiev authorities for certain steps to decrease tension and expressed hope that the southeastern regions will respond to these steps. The parties have also discussed the measures being taken to resolve the situation with the detention of military monitors of European countries, who arrived to Ukraine upon the invitations of the Kiev authorities in the framework of procedures stipulated in the Vienna document of 2011 on measures to enhance trust and security and who went to the southeast without appropriate notification of public structures controlling the situation on sites. On April 25, Eastern Ukrainian self-defense forces blocked a bus. Pro-Kiev intelligence operatives were aboard. So were OSCE monitors. According to spokesman Yevgeny Gorbik: OSCE representatives denied any relation to others traveling with them. They had cryptograms and notebooks with secret notes. A Bulgarian officer had a notebook with notes in Russian which confirm his intelligence activities and speak of a meeting with agents. No charges have been brought against them so far. But theyve ended up in a company that calls into question the legitimacy of their activities. The investigation is underway to find out what they were doing and where. Eastern Ukrainian areas remain targeted. Putschists want all opposition eliminated. Military operations are underway to achieve it. The battle for Ukraines soul continues.

2	The Director Of U.S Defense Intelligence Just Exposed Obamas Massive Cover Up [VIDEO] Just this week, Lt. General Vincent Stewart of the Defense Intelligence Agency spoke openly to the House Armed Services Committee at Capitol Hill about ISIS. What his comments imply about President Obama were shocking, to say the least. With affiliates in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, the group is beginning to assemble a growing international footprint that includes ungoverned and under governed areas, General Stewart told the group of ISIS. US President Obama has no intention of being a leading part of that team, Stewart continued, describing efforts to stop the growth of the terrorist organization. Watch the full video below and tell us what you think. 
1	The local comics-collecting scene has been abuzz ever since comic-book hobbyist Blaine Thurdlow's announcement Monday that he will spend next Friday evening on a confirmed date with a woman, his first in six years. Comic-book lover Blaine Thurdlow says the woman with whom he will soon go out on a date is 'as good-looking as the sexiest Black Canary full-pager you ever saw.' Thurdlow, 26, a self-described 'confirmed bachelor, not unlike a certain millionaire playboy, Bruce Wayne,' expressed great enthusiasm about the upcoming opportunity to socialize with an adult female. 'I haven't been this thrilled since they reprinted the Kree/Skrull War,' he said. 'Believe me, this one's going to be an event to rival the wedding of Mariko and Wolverine,' Thurdlow told reporters, speaking from a vendor's booth he rented at OntarioCon '96, where he also sold hand-painted Ghost Rider miniatures. 'I may not be a slick ladies' man like Lieutenant Commander Riker, but I've seen enough romance between Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy to know a thing or two about love, if you know what I mean,' he said. Holding up a double-mylar bagged first issue of X-Factor, Thurdlow added, 'Oh, and as if today weren't great enough already, I also got Rob Liefeld's autograph. Check it out!' Thurdlow, who was barely able to contain his excitement at the press conference, described himself as slightly nervous but greatly looking forward to his upcoming date and potential deflowering. 'I'm lucky I was never exposed to massive doses of gamma radiation, or else this much adrenaline would surely trigger my transformation into the Incredible Hulk!' joked Thurdlow with a hearty laugh. 'Not that I would actually be the Hulk, of course,' he clarified. 'I would merely be a being similar to the Hulk, but lacking the alter-ego of scientist Bruce Banner that makes the Hulk uniquely human.' Thurdlow's date, Tina Chen, 25, an employee at the Kitchener-area Taco Bell that Thurdlow frequents, is considered 'very nice' by co-workers. Chen was unavailable for comment, as she speaks little English. Thurdlow remained confident that he could communicate amorously with Chen on their upcoming date by using 'the universal language... in other words, the nonverbal storytelling abilities of top-notch graphic sequential art.' Touting repeatedly the knockout beauty of his slated dating companion, Thurdlow beamed to the assembled crowd of nine. 'I'm not trying to brag, but Tina's as good-looking as the sexiest Black Canary full-pager you ever saw,' he said. 'And that's including when Neal Adams was doing the inking, back when Black Canary was a backup feature in the Green Arrow/Green Lantern team-ups from '76 to '78.' After an elegant dinner for two, Thurdlow has a reservation for a horse-and-buggy ride, after which he plans to ask Chen up to the one-room efficiency he has occupied for the last eight years. There, he will seduce her with his prize possession: a mint-condition, signed complete run of the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover mini-series. 'This is the series that in the late '80s completely transformed the entire D.C. Universe,' he said. 'How could she possibly resist me after eyeing a gem like that?' 'After that,' Thurdlow said, 'well, let's just say there'll be a kiss to rival the one between Saturn Girl and Elastic Lad in Legion Of Super-Heroes #257!' Friends and supporters throughout the comic-book community are rallying around Thurdlow's cause, offering donations of such items as shoe polish, a tie, dress slacks and a $15 gift certificate for all Marvel back issues in stock at Hero City Comics and Baseball Cards' three Ontario locations. 'If Blaine can score with a chick, maybe my years of desperate loneliness can one day come to an end, too,' said Hiram Jurgens, one of Thurdlow's well-wishers, who added that he personally finds Spiderwoman attractive, but is drawn more to 'less glamorous but more intellectually engaging superhumans such as the X-Men's Kitty Pryde. Claremont really captured not only her mutant ability to phase her body through solid objects, but also her foibles, hopes and fears as well.' Not everyone shares Thurdlow's confidence. 'Crisis on Infinite Earths was a hackjob, pure and simple. Wolfman and Perez did much better work back in the third run of New Teen Titans in '82, '83,' said Toronto's Ed Fruem. 'And Legion #257? What a joke. For real romance, let's talk about the Fantastic Four's Reed and Sue Richards, the married couple better known to millions of fans as Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Girl.' 
3	Police Enter Unlocked Vehicles to Remind You to Lock Up Under New Gotcha! ProgramBy Kristan T. Harris While reaching out to the Dixon Police Department to verify, the responding officer on the phone reassured me that the Gotcha! program was not a prank, however a real program to remind you to keep your valuables and personal belongings out of clear site and to keep your vehicle locked. When I asked for the officers name that issued the ticket I was then informed that the person was not a real police officer, however a Community Service Officer.A Community Service Officer has a badge, and carries a police radio, however has limited authority, according to the Sauk Valley newspaper. The orange card is filled out and then placed in your vehicle to kindly remind you to lock up your vehicle. The notification states If I were a criminal I would have stolen and goes on to list personal belongings that were in the vehicle observed by the CSO. The law enforcement agent informed me of possible dangers stating vehicle break-ins are on a rise during this time of year and reiterated that all valuables should be kept out of plain site at all times. The question remains, does this fall under the polices duty to protect and serve since the doors are left unlocked or is this a clear violation of the 4th amendment and an illegal search? Follow @RundownLive This article is free and open source. You have permission to republish this article with attribution to the author and TheRundownLive.com. Tune-in to the THERUNDOWNLIVE Monday-Friday @ 9pm EST; 6pm PST. If the police enter the vehicle without permission, its an illegal entry/search. No doubt about it. If someone LESS than an officer enters the car, then its illegal entry and that is a crime as well. They are just using this scam to snoop. Oh, we went in to DO GOOD AND HELP and LOOK WHAT WE FOUND BY ACCIDENT !!. Count on it. Its creepy and lame and misguided even if motivated by good intentions, which is questionable at best. Whats next? Baton window bashing to prove that your alarm shouldve been set? The new normal. A pilot program for the USSA So are the police being arrested for illegal entry? People in Dixon should have high voltage wired to there door handles, and when some one gets zapped have a recording, Gotcha, I bet you thought this vehicle was easy pickins! Or Gotcha, your trespassing and Im calling the police to unstick you! You know whats soooo freaking ironic about this? While the Dixon coppers are worried about Average Joe Citizen leaving his personal car unlocked the city treasurer embezzled $54 MILLION dollars from the taxpayers . How about doing some POLICE work in around the city gooberment? The complainant is correct. Opening a car that does not belong to you..is breaking in. The community officershould have left the orange card, on the windshield. Back in the 70s when I was a police officer, I could not enter a car belonging to someone elseunless there was danger, to either a human being, or a pet, inside. Today, you cannot even get a police officer to use a jimmy, to open a locked door, for an OWNER of a car. You have to call a locksmith, and pay a fortune. In my day..we DID jimmy open car doors, for true owners. Protect and SERVE was the motto, back then. 
1	Saying they found themselves shocked, appalled, and yet unable to look away, hundreds of passersby stopped to view the horrible wreckage of 34-year-old local resident Tim Finucane on Tuesday. Cordoning off a 50-foot area of debris in a beer-can-strewn yard, law-enforcement officials confirmed they found the crushed, broken-down ruin of a man sitting on his front porch and staring blankly into the distance, but would not speculate as to what led to the disastrous scene. 'We haven't been able to determine what could have caused the devastating impact that must have taken place here,' said Sgt. James Hodges of the Tallahassee Police Department, standing a few yards away from the chain-smoking wreck. 'All we know is that a white male in his mid-30s lost control of his life and, after a series of wrong turns, completely fell apart, coming to a stop where you see him now.' 'In my 22 years on the force, I've never seen anything so heart-wrenching,' Hodges continued. 'Those sad, dull eyes of histhe whole scene is too terrible for words.' Phillip Reiss, a local electrician watching from behind the police barricade, was one of many in the growing crowd who said he felt deeply disturbed but strangely entranced by the human wreckage. 'I can't take my eyes away from it,' Reiss said. 'It's this feeling of wanting to do something, but feeling completely helpless. I mean, look at him. Is there even anything that can be done to rebuild his life at this point, or do you just try to make him as comfortable as possible?' Among the hundreds who stood gaping at the shattered man, several told reporters their hearts went out to those who had lost so much in the tragedy. By Tuesday evening, a makeshift memorial of flowers and notes bearing words of sympathy had already been erected in tribute to Finucane's ex-wife, who had so many years of her life stolen from her as a result of the walking tragedy. 'I can't stop thinking about his poor kids,' said 53-year-old schoolteacher Robin Mayer, referring to the three as-yet unidentified children scarred for life by the catastrophic ordeal. 'It's just so sad to think that they'll never have a normal childhood and will always have to live with this.' 'At least on alternate weekends,' Mayer added. Some residents expressed dismay with the assembled onlookers, pleading with the crowd to let Finucane keep whatever dignity he had left and to move aside so someone could 'at least come in and clean him up.' Others, including public safety advocate Ted Moura, questioned whether the wreck could have been prevented. Moura claimed that Finucane's increasing dilapidation over the years should have tipped off community officials. 'This was a disaster of a human being waiting to happen,' Moura told reporters. 'There were plenty of warning signs that he just couldn't bear that kind of weight and stress, and yet no one did anything about it. And now we all have to deal with the aftermath.' Moura added that the sheer number of similar incidences that have occurred in the past year on the same stretch of road where Finucane was discoveredmost recently, the massive burnout of 31-year-old attorney Bill Ingraham in Marchmake it clear that something has to be done to combat the problem. At press time, officials said that while it seemed unlikely there would be anything worth salvaging, any real efforts to comb through the wreckage would have to wait until morning because Finucane had gone inside to watch NCIS: Los Angeles. 
2	Fleeing Assyrian Christians Denied Access To The United States President Obama insists that there is not an attack on Christians in this country, but with every action he takes, its clear that protecting Muslim citizens is his one and only priority. Weve seen an escalation of violence against Assyrian Christians and Yazidi by Sunni Myslims in the Middle East. ISIS has been responsible for murdering, torturing and enslaving Yazidi women and children. This is also the case of Assyrians in Syria and Iraq. What we are seeing, in real time, is genocide, former congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia told reporters. In the past three years, America has imported more immigrants from the Middle East than from Mexico and Central American combined. However, the Obama administration is turning down access to Assyrian Christians. Clearly, President Obama is valuing the lives of some above others. He cannot just pick and choose. What do you think? Is this just wrong? 
1	Surveying the White House's walls and bathroom fixtures in preparation for move-out, President Clinton said Monday that he expects to forfeit his security deposit. 'It's just not worth it,' Clinton said. 'I'd rather lose the $575 than have to deal with fixing all the nail holes and chipped porticos and stuff.' Noticing a small, brownish stain on the East Room's carpet, Clinton added: 'It's not like the place is trashed, but eight years of summits and state dinners are really going to take their toll on a place.' 
2	Ted Nugent Blames Obamas For Dividing America Well this is sure to infuriate liberals. According to a recent interview, Ted Nugent blames President Barack Obama for increasing the racial divide in America and for fueling discrimination. Nugent did not hold back when he criticized Al Sharpton and Obama for their obsession with focusing on race on almost every issue. On an Arizona radio show, Nugent remarked that he is seeing more racism under the current administration than he has seen in his 66 years previous. By the late 60s, the 70s, I couldnt find racism, Nugent said of growing up in Detroit. I never saw racism. I never heard of racism. I thought it was a thing of the past in isolated pockets of inbreeding and cannibalism and spiritlessness. Nugent went on to argue that he has never judged people by color, but rather by spirit and soul. Now, Nugent says that he has witnessed the real face of racism under Barack Obama. He discussed Obamas comments following the showing of Trayvon Martin. What do you think? Is Nugent spot-on? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Lunch Lady Fired For Accidentally Serving Pork To 7 Year Old Muslim Student According to recent reports, 51-year-old Alison Waldock, a British elementary school server has been fired after accidentally serving pork to a Muslim student. Waldock reportedly served the ham to the seven year old student after she specifically requested it. When the schoolmaster at Queen Edith Primary School and Nursery noticed the error, she intervened before the student consumed any of the meat. I was really upset when I found out what Id done, claims Waldock, who had worked as the school lunch caterer for nearly 11 years. She was fired for negligence, carelessness or idleness. Waldock claims that the school is firing her so they cant be seen as politically incorrect. The most sensible way to rectify such mistakes is to improve awareness of the pupils dietary requirements while apologizing to the pupils and their parents, claims chair Inayat Buglawala. What do you think of the incident? Does Waldock deserve to be fired for the innocent mistake? 
2	Muslim Refuse To Remove Head Covering For Officers According to recent reports, a Muslim woman in Dearborn, Michigan is facing serious consequences after she tried to use Shariah law as an excuse to break the law. When police pulled over Maha Aldhalimi, they noticed she had a warrant out for her arrest due to many unpaid parking tickets. The officer had no choice but to arrest her and bring her into the station to face penalties. Things turned ugly when officers ordered Aldhalimi to remove her hijab for their standard processing check. She refused to do so, citing her religion. The cops informed her that if she refused to comply with their regulations, the hijab would be removed involuntarily against her will. Eventually, they were forced to move forward with that threat. According to documents, Aldhalimi was shivering and crying from the humiliation and distress of the encounter and orders. While we respect the right to religion, Sharia law is NOT above state or federal law. What do you think? Are you happy these police officers moved forward? 
2	Obama Takes Heat After THESE Racist Anti White Remarks Recently, a recording of a controversial interview with President Obama has come to the surface, and many believe that it proves his hatred for white people. The clip reveals Obama calling his grandmother a typical white person who is fearful of blacks, and limits their power. Of course, the statement makes the claim that typical white people have a problem with blacks. We cant imagine what would happen if a white politician made similar comments about a typical black person. But we can all but guarantee the media would be all over it. Listen to the clip below and tell us what you think.

3	Like a Concentration Camp Police Mark DAPL Protesters with Numbers and Lock Them in Dog KennelsBy Claire Bernish Under orders from the now-notorious Morton County Sheriffs Office, this ridiculously heavy-handed standing army came better prepared to do battle than some actual military units fighting overseas. But the target of their operation a group of slightly more than 200 Native American water protectors and supporters opposing construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline never intended to do battle with the armed, taxpayer-funded, corporate-backed, state-sponsored aggressors. Reports vary, but no less than 141 people were arrested Thursday, and according to witnesses police marked numbers on arrestees arms and housed them in cement-floored dog kennels, without any padding, before they were transported as far away as Fargo. It goes back to concentration camp days, asserted Oceti-Sakowin coordinator Mekasi Camp-Horinek, who, along with his mother, was marked and detained in a mesh kennel, reports the Los Angeles Times. Although Thursdays incident remained relatively peaceful for some time, with only shouts, chants, and occasional attempts by water protectors to convince this standing army to examine its motives and reconsider, clashes nonetheless broke out solely because of gratuitous police aggression. After facing off for a couple hours, these militant cops began closing in on the water protectors to shut down the Treaty of 1851 camp in reference to the Fort Laramie Treaty of that year, which established a large parcel of land designated exclusively Native American territory not to be disturbed by the U.S. government. Prior to his arrest, Camp-Horinek had established the camp, stating, as cited by Indigenous Rising: Today, the Oceti Sakowin has enacted eminent domain on DAPL lands, claiming 1851 treaty rights. This is unceded land. Highway 1806 as of this point is blockaded. We will be occupying this land and staying here until this pipeline is permanently stopped. We need bodies and we need people who are trained in non-violent direct action. We are still staying non-violent and we are still staying peaceful. Despite the water protectors commitment to nonviolence, the militarized police response went as would be expected horribly awry. A prayer circle of elders, including several women, was interrupted and all were arrested for standing peacefully on the public road, stated a press release from Indigenous Environment Network. A tipi was erected in the road and was recklessly dismantled, despite law enforcement statements that they would merely mark the tipi with a yellow ribbon and ask its owners to retrieve it. A group of water protectors was also dragged out of a sweat lodge ceremony erected in the path of the pipeline, thrown to the ground, and arrested. Claims to the contrary by Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier aside, Native American and Indigenous water protectors and supporters have refrained from violent acts on the whole, preferring instead peaceful prayer vigils and acts of civil disobedience. No matter how peacefully the opposition acts, armed defenders of Big Oil interests seem determined to brutalize, disrespect, and generally incite and inflict violence against those who desire unsullied water for generations to come. In fact, at the beginning of September, a private security firm hired by Energy Transfer Partners, the company responsible for pipeline construction, indiscriminately unleashed vicious attack dogs on water protectors, press, and supporters for reasons as yet unknown. During the savage attack, a pregnant woman, young girl, and many others suffered serious dog bites thanks to the ineptitude of the dogs handlers. Afterward, a warrant for inciting a riot was issued Democracy Now! journalist Amy Goodman for doing her job, filming events as they happened though charges were subsequently thrown out. Although ETP and some law enforcement officers defended the barbarous actions of the private security mercenaries, the Guardian now reports that because the guards lacked proper licensing they could now face criminal charges. On Wednesday, the Morton County Sheriffs Office made the determination that dog handlers were not properly licensed to do security work in the state of North Dakota. Bob Frost, owner of Ohio-based Frost Kennels, told the Guardian, All the proper protocols were already done. I pulled my guys out the next day because we werent there to go to war with these protesters. Frost insisted he had cooperated with authorities investigating the incident but the sheriffs department disagrees. Seven handlers and dogs were deployed to the scene in early September, allegedly in response to reports of trespassers; but, according to the Guardian, police have only managed to identify two people. The sheriffs department claims Frost has not provided necessary information, and unnamed security officials cited in the report said that there were no intentions of using the dogs or handlers for security work. However, because of the protest events, the dogs were deployed as a method of trying to keep the protesters under control. In a statement cited by the Guardian, Morton County Captain Jay Gruebele said, Although lists of security employees have been provided, there is no way of confirming whether the list is accurate or if names have been purposely withheld. Water protectors, in the meantime, are left to deal with absurdly disproportionate state violence and the altogether unacceptable, disrespectful, and demeaning insult of being relegated to dog kennels after being arrested for exercising their rights. As Lakota Country Times editor, Brandon Ecoffey, wrote in an editorial Thursday, Over the course of the last several months the abuse of detainees by Morton County Law Enforcement has overstepped every boundary guaranteed by the American constitution. Water protectors have been seen being bound and hooded by police. People are being stripped searched and abused within their jail for misdemeanor crimes. And police have employed the use of mass surveillance through drones on the protector camps. This isnt a war zone this is North Dakota. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Government works for its masters not the people. When I read this I thought, please tell me this is not true. A truly evil government run by the corporations and shadow government, U.N. CFR and all the filth. If you look at history and all the evil done by men in uniform, you know it can happen here also. In fact I think American people because of our culture are prone to be even more cruel than the people in other countries in the past. With the exception of the idiot shooting (which Id want proof of to be honest), all the things you list are non-violent. Blocking highways, bridges, burning tires and a dump truck are not violent. Violence cant be inflicted against inanimate objects, only living things. Trespass has specific meanings in North Dakota statute, so youd need to prove those things if you wish to claim that. You seem to be mixing up the idea of peaceful with inconspicuous and quiet, a common tactic of someone who doesnt actually understand the right to protest. Unforgiveable. Notice how not one name of a responsible person is mentioned. Vague corporate orders made to vague military groups, and it is supposed to be legal? Where is the governor of this state? Where is the president of this country? Hiding in their own dog kennels? Back to the old, arbeit macht frei, eh? Just a matter of time before it happened. Danel Riqars only flaw in the post below I see is that authority A die hard constrictive that thinks the government has the right to steal people land and is perfectly reasonable, but opposes the police state and is for the constitution. Elizabeth Warren allege tobe American Indian? What is happening with her? She is campaigning for Killary. Does she want her people killed? Do you have no understanding of their spiritual belief in non-violence? We ALL need to be doing what theyre doing. while our young men were fighting and dying to end Fascism during WWII, the ruling elite in the US were learning how to do it better. Boo hoo! You were locked in a dog cage for breaking the law. At least you werent SHOT DEAD like some of the Mulheur protesters. Crybabies. Do you realize that we are seeing the clamping down of the global dominion that was prophesied of thousands of years ago in the ancient scriptures, and that there will be no successful resistance to this tyrannical empire? Imagine how difficult it will be to get 10 people together when the power goes out. God still forgives sins. That is why Jesus came to the earth at the first. When He returns, He will not be coming to be ridiculed, mocked, spat upon nor pierced. He comes with a flaming vengeance against all of His enemies. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved:) 
1	Local woman Jillian Lauretta confirmed to reporters Friday that she was thinking of doing that thing where she acts incredibly cold and unfriendly toward other women she has just met for absolutely no earthly reason whatsoever. You know, I think I might just go ahead and make a couple women whom I dont know and whom I have absolutely no reason to dislike feel very uncomfortable and insecure by greeting them with a tight-lipped smile and then silently judging them, said the 32-year-old accounts manager, adding that she might even tack on the whole bit where she reacts to every perfectly pleasant thing another woman says with chilly near-silence and then, when said woman leaves the room, say something mildly cutting about her in a way that opens the conversation up to outright trash talk if anyone else is so inclined. While Im at it, Ill probably feel threatened by her based on nothing at all and then make little passive-aggressive asides about herwhereas shell just be really friendly to me, which will only make me feel small and petty, and my self-loathing will drive me to irrationally despise her all the more. At press time, reports indicate that Lauretta was not laughing at a humorous remark another woman was making. 
2	AntiOver the past few months, weve seen a growing concern that Muslims will eventually try to demand that Islamic law be used in state courts. One of the major problems is that these foreign customs are often directly at odds with longstanding laws regarding issues like marriage and children. According to recent reports, the Florida House Civil Justice Subcommittee just approved a bill entitled the Application of Foreign Law in Certain Cases. The measure is designed to prevent any foreign legal code from being used in state courts. This marks the fourth time that a similar provision has been presented to Florida lawmakers. The previous three attempts ultimately failed. If this measure passes into law, Florida courts will be prohibited from considering any provision of foreign law inconsistent with the constitutions of the United States or the state of Florida. Of course, Democrats have been quick to criticize the measure as prejudiced, though the bill does not name Shariah law specifically. What do you think? Do you support these precautions? 
2	They Tried To Silent Ben Carsons Faith, But He Refused To Back Down [WATCH] Dr. Ben Carson has never been shy about his faithsomething that fellow doctors and scientists have been quick to call a contradiction.

After some debate back and forth, Carson dropped this piece of genius: You know what, you won, Ben told the atheist.

2	Conservative TV Host Destroys Sharpton, The Way He Responds Will Make You Sick In a recent show, Bill OReilly took the opportunity to publicly blast Al Sharpton for what he claims are Sharptons garbage rallies in Ferguson. Al Sharpton has the nerve to insult the American police community, men and women risking their lives to protect us, OReilly told viewers. This charlatan has the gall to do that and NBC News is playing him. My god, why is that acceptable? Watch the video below and tell us what you think! 
2	New York BANS The Pledge Of Allegiance In Schools Liberals in New York have banned The Pledge of Allegiance from being recited in this public school. Santa Claus has also been banned. Thanksgiving has been replaced with Harvest Festival, and Christmas may no longer be called Christmas. This is getting outrageous. We definitely cant say Christmas, nothing with Christmas on it, nothing with Santa, PTA president Mimi Ferrer said administrators told her. No angels. We cant even have a star because it can represent a religious system, like the Star of David. Liberals have gone too far this time. Do you think every school in America should be able to recite the Pledge of Allegiance? 
3	Why Are Giant Sinkholes Appearing All Over America? Is Something Happening To The Earths Crust?Michael Snyder On Thursday, a 37-year-old man named Jeffrey Bush living near Tampa, Florida died when the earth underneath his home suddenly opened up and swallowed him alive. His brother tried to help him when he heard Jeffrey screaming, but it was too late. The entire bedroom was sucked deep into the earth and the home had to be rapidly abandoned. Now authorities are admitting that he will probably never be found. So is this type of thing really normal? It would be one thing if this was just an isolated incident, but the truth is that giant sinkholes have been appearing with increasing frequency all over the planet lately. Could this be an indication that major earth changes are on the way? Florida has always been an area that has been prone to sinkholes, but the numbers do show that sinkhole damage in the state has increased very rapidly in recent years. According to ABC News, insurance claims related tosinkholes morethan doubled between 2006 and 2009 Hillsborough County, where Seffner is situated, is part of an area in Florida prone to sinkholes, with insurance claims associated with them more than doubling between 2006 and 2009, according to a Florida Senate report. Other parts of the country are not having this kind of a problem, right? Wrong. Just check out what has been happening in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania lately. There are dozens of sinkholes that have opened up in Harrisburg, and the city is so broke that it doesnt have the money to fix all of them. In fact, at this point there are 41 sinkholes that have been documented in Harrisburg, and many of them are right in the middle of the street Pennsylvanias state capital is suffering from a rash of monster sinkholes, but city officials are too broke to do anything about it. Loose soil and leaky, century-old underground water pipes are to blame for the municipal nightmare, which came to a head on the New Years Eve when a 50-foot sinkhole yawned open along Fourth Street, the Wall Street Journalreported. The eight-foot deep crater one of at least 41 in the city is so large, locals made it a check-in site on the social media site Four Square. Some cheeky residents and the media nicknamed the hole Super Sinkhole Walter. Of course there have been lots of cities throughout U.S. history that have experienced such an epidemic of sinkholes, right? There is no reason to be alarmed, right? In a previous article about sinkholes, I talked about a sinkhole that recently formed in Ohio that was the size of four football fields and that was more than 30 feet deep. It caused part of State Route 516 to collapse and authorities were projecting that the road would continue to stay closed for months to come. But that is normal, right? The giant Louisiana sinkhole in Assumption Parish that made headlines all over the nation last year is now more than 800 feet in diameter. It just continues to grow, and authorities have no idea when it will stop growing. But this kind of thing happens all the time, right? Just recently, large sinkholes forced roads to close in New Jersey and in Arizona. Of course those incidents will soon be forgotten because there are more news stories about major sinkholes in the United States almost every single day now. Giant sinkholes have been happening with such regularity that people hardly take notice anymore. You can see some photos of some of the craziest sinkholes in recent years right here. It would be one thing if giant sinkholes were just appearing in the United States, but unfortunately that is not the case. For instance, a sinkhole that appeared in the middle of Guatemala City in 2010 was about 30 stories deep. Down in Sarisarinama, Venezuela some sinkholes have appeared in recent years that are more than 1,000 feet wide. China has been one of the worst areas of the world for sinkholes over the past several years. In fact, just check out what has been happening in one village in China recently Residents in the village of Lianyuan in southern Chinas Hunan Province have been treading rather gingerly these last few months. Over 20 sinkholes have opened up in the ground since last September. The cave-ins, which range in size, have seen houses collapse and rivers run dry. And there is never any warning as to where and when the sinkholes occur. According to local authorities, the main reason for the cave-ins is the number of coalmines in the area. It is not clear what steps are being taken to prevent further sinkholes from appearing. Giant holes are opening up all over the earth and swallowing homes, buildings, roads and sometimes even people. So why is this happening? Is the crust of the earth becoming more unstable? Or is something else at work?

Hodge okay Im not so sure about anything Im reading here however my theory is this if the Earth core is a molten burning lava River so to speak Which is been my understanding since I was a child. It would only seem logical to me that in order for something to burn it needs oxygen if oxygen is feeding the burning moten Earths core and the fuel is the ground or the rock beneath our feet then that fuel is disintegrating being eroded from the inside out which would take me to this conclusion. please feel free to comment, Id like to have some educated opinion to explain to me how this would not be the case. As I see it if something is burning it needs fuel and it needs air the fuel is the earth below our feet and its obviously getting air from somewhere or it would definitely put itself out. Michael 
3	Navy Petty Officer Joins DAPL Protest With Upside Down Flag Our Greatest Enemies Are Right HereBy Claire Bernish Hoisting an inverted American flag as he led, in uniform, a group of Native American water protectors marching defiantly against government-backed industry profiteering, Jackson had a carefully-considered message about patriotic duty everyone must hear: Our greatest enemies are not overseas, he told a reporter for The Young Turks, our greatest enemies are right here. Indeed, images of police better armed for combat in Syria or Iraq or Afghanistan than any of the thousands of servicemen and women in active combat using brutal if nonlethal tactics against wholly unarmed Standing Rock Sioux water protectors and their supporters, have finally made the rounds on corporate media, much to the unsurprising consternation of the American public. Jackson, however, couldnt believe his eyes, and as a former servicemember saw an indispensable need to defend water protectors from the tyranny of a government run amok with power, acting solely to bolster corporate greed. In short, the life and property of citizens are at risk based on the actions of State agents various law enforcement and private, corporate-hired security mercenaries and thus demand the protection of U.S. military personnel sworn to defend them. As a veteran, Jackson is asked by The Young Turks reporter, Have you ever seen, domestically, such force used against unarmed people, peaceful people, to protect an inanimate object [the Dakota Access Pipeline]? Obviously grasping the gravity of the situation unfolding in North Dakota, he replies, No, Ive never witnessed this caliber of militarization against people I mean, Ive weve seen it throughout history, through the Civil Rights era, through Ferguson theres been multiple times in our nations history where weve utilized force like this against people who were peaceful. Most of which I saw during the Civil Rights Movement. Historians, advocates, and activists have, indeed, likened the multifaceted issues stemming from increasingly unscrupulous actions by law enforcement agencies untrained in the military surplus jackpot items the government willingly provides to a new era a nascent, if circular moment in the struggle for civil rights. Ferguson, Missouri, and the tremendously controversial fatal shooting by Officer Darren Wilson of unarmed teen, Michael Brown though decidedly not the first questionable police shooting of an unarmed person of color abruptly snapped to public consciousness that something, indeed, has gone terribly awry in the United States. More than two years hence, rather than sweeping reform of American policing, we stand amidst a widening epidemic of State-perpetrated violence against the public and its parallel, nearly wholesale impunity from punishment. Native Americans and Indigenous Peoples from well over 200 tribes and nations from all over the globe have an inherent and long-standing comprehension of that struggle, particularly as it plays out in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, in opposing yet another potentially dangerous oil pipeline. As the reporter notes of intense and likely illegal surveillance efforts, in prefacing a question for Jackson, it seems like the police can break laws, you know, freely, and theres no consequences. Theyre flying overhead without lights, theyre standing on Army Corps [of Engineers] land, they are standing on top of land [where] ancestors are buried, why do you think the police are doing this in such force? Because weve allowed it in this country, the Navy vet immediately responds, and thats why its occurring. The government and Big Business continues to exploit the citizens of this country, to exploit its resources and its because we, as citizens, have been apathetic to whats going on all around us. Were distracted by so many things occurring in this country that dont mean anything. The World Series is super important but whats more important a baseball, or people? You know, people are more important. If we as a nation dont stand together, united, then our government will continue to do what theyre doing here in Standing Rock. Beyond the militaristic, over-the-top crackdown on water protectors and activists at several encampments attempting to block the pipeline, the U.S. government has undertaken a considerable effort to ensure Dakota Access construction will continue unimpeded. In addition to the appalling presence of police from at least five states, private security mercenaries, and federal agents, Energy Transfer Partners the industry collective overseeing pipeline construction and financially motivated politicians have even re-written a decades-old ban on the export of unrefined crude to guarantee the surety of its completion. Under this suffocating weight and centuries of exploitation opposition continues. Asked if he considers the militarized force against unarmed water protectors citizens a battle against corporate profiteering, Jackson intoned, Whether or not its about greed, I dont entirely know. What I do know, is whats right in front of my face; and, whenever I see the military-style tactics utilized on peaceful people, that is a complete abridgement of First Amendment rights the ability to express yourself freely without being I mean, I shouldnt be intimidated or scared. You know, even for me to stand here the way that I do, in my uniform, people will frown upon that. Ill be attacked personally for this. And it makes me concerned for what could happen. But, if I dont I think Martin Luther King, Jr., had said it an injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere. And this is an injustice. And Im not going to stand by, as a retired servicemember, who swore to protect the Constitution and their rights, their constitutional rights so, Im here to continue to protect those for them, like I swore to do for twenty years. Further, the veteran expounds on the process of legislative debate happening behind closed doors as a means to exclude the public from the process, as if politicians and legislators indeed have plenty to hide. Thats whats occurring in this country, is that Big Business is in bed with our government. Theres no secret about that. And the government profiting off of stealing and destroying our constitutional rights has to stop. And we, as American people, have to be willing. Standing Rock wasnt necessarily my fight, so to speak; but what is my fight is that these are human beings these are people these are citizens of this country that I swore to protect. And Im going to stand alongside of them and fight with them because I see whats occurring here. Right before my eyes. Theres no better way for me to know and understand whats occurring here than to get in my truck and drive over here. As for President Obamas continued virtual stonewalling, and refusal to take more than a tissue-thin stance about the militarized police response to peaceful civil disobedience the rest of the planet has the integrity to denounce, Jackson adds, as a Commander-in-Chief of this country, he has a responsibility. He swore an oath for that Constitution the same as I did and too many people, veterans included, servicemembers included, they have forgotten about that other piece the vow to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and we always point our eyes outward from our borders; but we never look inward. Our greatest enemies are not overseas our greatest enemies are right here. The shame of the current and coming administrations is the willful blindness the complicity in ignoring and permitting paranoia about dissent to supplant the open debate and criticism of failed policy and legislation. As we witness the failed fruits of rampant hegemony and imperialism, this military veterans words, and inverted flag distress signal, couldnt be more crucial a reminder of what true patriotism an actual defense of liberty must entail.

In an interview with ABC, Holder claimed that people talking about taking their country back have directed racial animus toward both him and President Obama. He then continued on to attack Palin for calling to impeach the president. She wasnt a particularly good vice presidential candidate, he told reporters, Shes an even worse judge of who ought to be impeached and why. Palin responded by claiming that she doesnt need lectures from Eric Holder, a guyget thisso incompetent that he denied voter fraud existed even after someone claimed that they were Eric Holder and they got his ballot and voted in P.C. She also called his claims of racism a disgusting, false charge acknowledging that illegal immigration hurts all Americans all races and backgrounds. Watch Palins rant below: 
3	The Lesser of Two Evils ParadigmBy Kurt Nimmo But due to the corporate media, the two-sided one political class party, and the marginalization of third party (actually second party) candidates, the lesser of two evils paradigm rules. Fox News (@FoxNews) October 1, 2016 This has basically replaced the left-right paradigm. There is very little difference between Democrats and Republicans, even with Trump turning over the Republican party apple cart. Both favor endless war and the dominance of the corporate-bankster economic system, albeit with stylistic differences. On the foreign policy front, Clinton is Obama on steroids. Trump has signaled he will bomb the shit out of designated bogeyman enemies. He has pledged to beef up the military and expand trillion dollar expenditures that will inevitably result in more war and intervention. Clinton will undoubtedly open new fronts in the Middle East and replace Obamas ambivalence on Syria with direct intervention, much to the jubilation of the neocons. Between now and November it will depend on who is hated and feared more, Trump or Clinton. That will be the determining factor of the election. Congress will remain a gaggle of grocery clerks for the banks, corporations, and the military-industrial-surveillance complex. If there is a constant it is that far too many Americans will continue to vote for their representative and complain about corporate lobbied grocery clerks in other gerrymandered districts. Kurt Nimmo is the editor of Another Day in the Empire, where this article first appeared. He is the former lead editor and writer of Infowars.com. Voting does not matter, its just part of the NWO scam to make us think we count so well remain compliant, subserviant and obedient while they lock us down and complete our enslavement. Dont worry, everythings at a safe level so you can go back to the NFL, cheap beer and Cheetos. It, quite honestly, will depend on whom the rigged voting machines annoint (Of course it will be) HillBillary and she will become terminal, thus allowing the current no-name potus and his artifical family a 3rd term as the black nobility is firmly cemented into the Usrped Ztates of AmeriKaner. Not to worry people, the courts or congress will decide who get the WH, our votes will not count. We have seen this is a dozen court rulings this passed 2 years The lesser of two evils is the inherent consequence of the 18th-century founding fathers usurping Yahwehs exclusive election authority (Deuteronomy 17:15), turning it over to We the People, the majority of whom, according to Matthew 7:13-14, are in the broad way leading to destruction. Talk about a dumb idea! Just where do you think thats going to take America? No wonder following every election America becomes more ungodly, less Christian, and further enslaved. Furthermore, when, in Article 6, the constitutional framers banned Christian tests they thereby eliminated mandatory biblical qualifications. In so doing, they doomed America to nothing but nincompoops, scoundrels, and outright criminals for fer leaders. Sound familiar?

Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. No matter who wins, the people will lose one way or another. This time its different. Thats not what author and readers want to hear, but there is more to life than pet theories and ascribing hegemonic powers to paper tigers. Sure, theyve got a lot of money and power but theyre obviously fighting amongst each other and cant control the mess theyve made, which opens a crack for the people to claim their countries back, which is what in fact we are seeing happen. Enough of the cynicism, and vote for Trump in November, part deux to BREXIT. I fear most a WW III than climate change due to the sun and the galactic influences (CO2 is a hoax and entertainment to leave the planet without reliable and cheap energy needed for development). At this time is more important stopping warmonger Clinton. Then we can deal wit Trump and Congress as we go in order to remove corporate control of our air, food and water.. 
2	BREAKING: Ben Netanyau Makes Huge Move Against Obama According to recently report, an organization called Victory 2015 (V15) recently hired Jeremy Bird to launch a smear campaign against Benjamin Netanyahu and Ludkin. Bird was the national field director of Obamas 2012 presidential campaign. Now, it appears that Netanyahu has made attempts to fully ban V15 and OneVoice from attempting to influence Israeli elections. In the petition against V15, Ludkin claims that V15 is making criminal use of anonymous foreign funding in extremely large amounts. He went on to add that hiring services of this sort cost a fortune. Were talking about foreign funding on an enormous scale, in violation of the Party Funding Law. Its clear that injecting a lot of money that is neither reported nor supervised is liable to lead to extremist elements having an influence on the campaign, claims Ludkins attorney. The White House is clearly using taxpayer dollars to influence the election outcome of an ally. Not to mention, it is a step against one of the only democracies in the region. What do you think of Obamas actions?

2	Jesse Ventura Going After Hundreds Of Thousands More Dollars In Chris Kyle Case Not long along, Jesse Ventura won a $1.8 million lawsuit against Chris Kyle, the deceased author of American Sniper. The lawsuit originally stemmed from a chapter in the book that referred to Ventura as Scruff face. The chapter described a bar fight between Ventura and the American Sniper. Ventura made the decision to sue Kyles widow for defamation. As if that wasnt enough, hes now moving to sue HarperCollins, claiming that news reports generated by the false and defamatory story are worth an additional $150,000 in damages. It probably doesnt help matters that Kyles story is being adapted on to the big screen in the major motion picture American Sniper. What do you think, are we about to see yet another lawsuit come of that?

Now, 25 years later, she is showcasing her skills in a different medium, singingwhich she admits is her true passion. The former child star decided, why not try out for season 10 of The Voice? She sang Blue Bayou, and it was not long into the song that the four judges, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Pharrell Williams and Christina Aguilera dropped their jaws in astonishment and praise! Honestly, I was going through a hard time in life. And then I actually got sober almost eight years ago, she said. I fell in love and I had children and that was my goal to just be a good mom. And I really feel like the universe just had a plan for me because you guys turned for me today. Christina Aguilera gushed over Porters talent. She understands how hard it is to be a mom, as a mother herself. And just inside of you theres so much to say, and people need to hear that hope and between your story and those pipes of yours, I want to be a part of your history, Aguilera said.

2	He Was Fired For Refusing to Remove His U.S. Marines TWhen 18-year-old patriot Joey Schell attempted to honor our men and women in uniform by wearing a Marines shirt to work at Little Caesars, he did not know that he would be facing some serious consequences. Schell was reportedly confronted by his manager, and was told to leave the restaurant for touting the T-Shirt with a message that read United States Marines. Eventually, he lost his job for his actions. I decided to wear a U.S. Marines shirt to work, because usually on holidays were allowed to dress up, Schell told reporters. Its one of the holidays Im most passionate about, because Im planning to become a Marine. I was trying to say Memorial Day matters to me. Schell went on to point out that several of his coworkers were allowed to dress up for Halloween.. When Schell was confronted by his manager, he was prepared to stand by his actions. I told her I would take the write up and I would go home for this, Schell said. He was then told that if he left the restaurant his employment was terminated. I said To me this is important to stand up for and I will go home. Schells employers justified their actions by claiming that they have the right to fire an employee for refusing to change into their approved uniform. The actions were especially surprising given that the restaurant was actually founded by a Marine. What do you think? Is it disgraceful to punish a young man for supporting those who defend our country? 
1	The field of psychology was brought to an immediate halt this week as disillusioned and weary practitioners of the discipline reportedly concluded that the mind could never possibly hope to study itself. Abandoning more than a century of clinical research, theoretical developments, and observational studies, psychologists worldwide announced that their entire professional lives had been utterly worthless, as the human brain could never comprehend its own workings, let alone understand its own understanding. Weve spent years trying to discern how the mind functions, but today I am forced to admit that this so-called research was nothing more than a fools errandand that we people of learning were the greatest fools of all, said American Psychological Association president Nadine Kaslow at a press conference Thursday, flanked by leading figures from all major psychology subfields. Can the eye watch itself? Can a book read its own pages? No. Its now clear to us that despite all the painstakingly conducted studies and all the data we have meticulously gathered since the late 19th century, we have, in essence, been nothing more than the snake that devours its own tail. All that we thought we understood was merely a mirage crafted by the very unfathomable minds we once so stubbornly insisted we could know, added Kaslow, before declaring the APA, with its 134,000 members and 54 academic divisions, forever disbanded. In the wake of the development, sources confirmed that thousands of researchers at top academic institutions had resigned from their posts effective immediately and had been seen packing decades worth of academic journalsas well as seminal works such as Sigmund Freuds The Interpretation Of Dreams, Jean Piagets The Psychology Of Intelligence, and Alfred Adlers Understanding Human Natureinto boxes that will be placed in storage indefinitely or disposed of at nearby landfills. According to reports from one prominent university, visitors to the psychology department found the chairs office locked, but with a note on the door that simply read, It was all an illusion. Over the past few days, researchers across the psychology spectrum have reportedly discontinued their experiments and returned their funding to its original sources, stating that further investigations had been rendered irrelevant by the completely unreliable and fatally subjective nature of the human mind. If only we could step outside these imperfect intellects for but one moment and observe our mental functions as they truly are, said clinical psychologist Deborah Yamada, who explained that the discipline was inherently and fatally corrupted by the inescapable reality that the examiner and the examined are one and the same. And yet, when we honestly appraise the human condition, what can the mind truly know that is not a mere waking dream? And even that dream, can it genuinely be said to exist? For is not the moment I grasp the limits of my consciousness the very moment it becomes unknowable? Yamada continued. More to the point: What is this I that supposedly speaks in the first place? And why do Iwhatever that may beso childishly cling to it? Reached for comment, many from the now-dissolved psychology community told reporters that they hoped to redirect their efforts toward other sciences such as physics, chemistry, and geology, fields they hoped would be untainted by the inescapable enigma of consciousness. If I can no longer study myself, then so be it: I will pursue that which is concrete and measurable, said Harvard University experimental psychologist Steven Pinker, holding up a quartz crystal before his eyes. Look at it: Irrefutable. Solid. So unlike the elusive mind. Only this I can truly know, Pinker added. That is, if I can know anything at all. 
2	Local Texas Woman Responds To Obama Bringing Muslim Refugees Into Her Town For weeks now, we have been discussing the escalation of crimes in European countries at the hands of Muslim refugees. Now, it appears that crisis is moving into the United States, according to claims from a former resident of Amarillo, Texas. Karen Sherman was a resident of Amarillo until she moved to Missoula, Montana. In a controversial move, Sherman stood in front of a local courthouse to warn citizens of the dangers of accepting these refugees with open arms. Sherman warns that if Obamas plans to plant migrants in Missoula succeed, citizens will be facing the kind of civil unrest that Europe is now dealing with. Sherman was accompanied by 120 residents who listened to her story. Amarillo is overrun with refugees, Sherman told the crowd. She also argued that refugees have been given preferential treatment. Now, theyre expecting us to give them cars. Amarillo is failing because of the refugees, Sherman continued. We have 22 different languages spoken in our schools. Weve got 42 languages being fielded by our 911 call centers, and crime is just through the roof. We need to exercise caution, especially for the sake of our children. Sherman went on to discuss the fact that Amarillo now has one of the highest rates of rape in the nation. The subjugation of women, she argued, has become the rule rather than the exception. You can have female equality, or you can have refugees, Sherman concluded. You cannot have both. What do you think? Do you agree? 
3	Republicans, Democrats: Who Cares? America as a Single Party StateTed Baumann This wave election, a rout of the Democrats, is a classic backlash against the incumbent party, which has utterly failed to provide leadership to the nation. Yet the sky is still above, the earth below and as far as we know, the world is still turning on its axis. For all that partisans and Fox News have portrayed this as an earth-shattering election, most media pundits tried their best to avoid the anti-Obama groundswell. Many Americans realistically adopted a plague on both your houses attitude and stayed home or, in too many cases, opted for the lesser of two evils. Thats a wise attitude, and we share it with sadness. Short of the periodic political revolution advocated by Thomas Jefferson, no matter whos in charge, there is just so much that should change but wont and therefore so much that a wise sovereign individual must continue to do to prepare for their future. Hidden Bipartisan Consensus Over the last 30 years or so, Republicans, Democrats and their increasingly influential PAC supporters have perfected the art of political hype. Using emotional social wedge issues like gay marriage (on the right) or gender rights (on the left), sophisticated propaganda experts work tirelessly to steer voters towards one or the other party. But as an increasing number of Americans now recognize, Republicans and Democrats unfortunately agree on a great deal issues far more consequential to our individual fates than the scare tactics used to get us to the polls. When it comes to what really matters, we now suffer under the domination of a de factosingle party state. For example, with the exception of a few mavericks, both parties have abandoned the Constitution and now unreservedly support the continued growth and power of the national intelligence/security state. Although they may differ on the margins, neither party considers the current precarious state of our civil liberties as something in need of substantial change. Politicos who are usually at each others throats over Obamacare are cooperative when it comes to protecting the National Security Agency, the FBI or local police from meaningful public scrutiny and accountability. Similarly, few in either party seem at all interested in reining in the influence of Wall Street on our political process, or stanching the massive flow of subsidies to our too big to fail banks via the cheap money policies of the Federal Reserve. Although they differ over fiscal stimulus, most elected officials in both parties quietly support the ongoing diversion of trillions of dollars to bankers via market manipulation. A third example, of course, is the broken U.S. tax code. The parties claim to have vastly different agendas when it comes to corporate taxation and individual tax rates, but both work tirelessly often in cahoots to protect the loopholes, giveaways and unfair disparities that are the real problem with our tax system. Millions in PAC money is their reward. And of course, aside from Senator Rand Paul, you wont hear much talk of repealing abominations such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) from either party. Even if repeal is buried in their platforms somewhere, dont expect to see it put to a vote, no matter who runs the House and Senate. The election outcome probably guarantees that the next two years in Washington will be a continuous political free-for-all aimed at electing the next president. Fewer of us are putting our faith in either political party to address the issues that really concern us the growing threats to our wealth, privacy and liberties originating in our own government and its powerful allies in the increasingly corrupt and uncompetitive U.S. economy. While the Republicans have taken control of the House and Senate, Americans are no closer to achieving the type of protection for their privacy and freedom that we demand from our elected government. And, unfortunately, it doesnt look as if the Republicans are going to bring many positive developments to the American stock market. I spoke this morning to Jeff Opdyke, editor of Profit Seeker, who explained: I dont think the Republican victory is anything meaningful to the stock market, aside from some narrow impacts in certain sectors, such as medical products (which will benefit if Republicans manage to roll back a medical-device tax built into Obamacare). The real impact from the Republican victory will likely be felt in the bond market. Bond yields are going to rise and that, ultimately, will have the Federal Reserve acting sooner rather than later to raise interest rates for the first time. But dont look at the coming Fed rate-hike cycle as an opportunity to move some cash back into CDs and savings accounts. Though rates will soon begin moving up for the first time in nearly a decade, the Fed will and must continue strong-arming the market to keep rates unnaturally low due to Americas heavy debt. With America drawing closer to interest-rate hikes and a government that will continue to do nothing to protect you, its critical that you diversify your wealth by investing in a growing middle-class across a variety of emerging and frontier markets offshore. These groups arent weighed down like Americans with trillions in debt and long-term unemployment, but are enjoying more disposable income than ever before and are determined to enjoy the same Western luxuries. Another key step to preparing for the new government is to buy gold the ultimate protection for your wealth. Gold remains an insurance policy against the insanity on Capitol Hill. Owning it allows you to protect your familys lifestyle. As another midterm election comes and goes, we cant stress enough how important it is to put your faith in your own sovereign strategies, and to avoid the temptation to seek salvation from government or the unreliable politicians who compete to run it.

3	Autistic Children Significantly More Social When Pets Are Around: StudyHeather Callaghan A PLOS One study published in late February found that animals, versus toys only, provide a profound social medium in helping autistic children interact with peers. Taking groups involving 1 ASD child, 2 typically developing children, 2 guinea pigs each and comparing play time with the guinea pigs versus with toys showed stunning results. ASD kids took more social initiativewithmore eye and tactile contact. There was more smiling and laughing and less self-focused and negative effects with animals around compared to toys. Whats more, animals drew other children to the autistic ones, increasing the positive social response even more. Researchers concluded that animal presence can significantly increase positive social behaviors for children with autism. Another recent, smaller study showed similar results, concluding that having a pet at home might assist the development of some pro-social behaviors in autistic children. If you know a child with autism, you may have encountered some of the difficulties they face with social interaction. Without trying to be scientific, many of them have problems interacting in social environments, and have a tendency to seek solitude, rather than engaging in the complexities of human social dynamics. Some of them struggle with anxiety and intense outbursts.As writer and public speaker James Williams (who also has high-functioning autism) puts it its not that autistic people are inherently antisocial. It is that they are social in their own way. How pets help autistic individuals bridge the gap between their own social perceptions and those of their neurotypical peers was one of the concepts explored and is finally getting more exposure. In autism, ages 4-5 is considered the key age because it is during this time that the severity of autism has the most effect on development. And in any household, what better age to begin involving children in the responsibility of caring for another creature and, in turn, caring for others? It doesnt take a science degree to appreciate the relationship people have with their pets, which are often treated just like family members. What seems to make this relationship even more important with autistic children, is the animals non-verbal communication. Pets demonstrate their needs and unconditional affection. The effect of pets helping children with autism is somewhat of a newly recognized branch of study, but for parents of autistic children, seeing positive interactions with their childs friends would probably trump any inconclusive scientific results. Here is a short interview last fall with Kari Dunn Buron, who wrote a book about animals helping children with autism. Her work with dogs and autistic children found that dogs had a calming effect on anxiety, explosive behavior, and social isolation: PLOS is a non-profit organization, whose online publication atplosone.org provides peer review and publication to worldwide media for study authors.

2	US City Now Flying Palestinian Flag Over American Flag New Jersey residents in Paterson are not happy about Mayor Jeffery Jones public participation in the citys recent Palestinian celebration at City Hall. Apparently, Palestinians gathered to raise their flag in what was the second ceremony commemorating their fight for statehood. During the event, Jones raised the flag as a symbol of ending peace talks with Israel last month. We can assure you we will not get tired until Palestine is a free, independent , and democratic state, Somaia Barghought, Palestines adviser, told the United Nations. The end of peace talks has also sparked energy among Palestinians who have been hoping for their own state. What do you think? Do residents have the right to be upset about Jones actions? 
2	BREAKING: Obamas Executive Order Just Banned AKAccording to recent reports, President Obama has decided to sign a new Executive Order, this time banning AK-47s. According to the Treasury Department, Executive Order states that if an American owns an AK-47 that was bought and fully paid for prior to the date of designation (i.e. no payment remains due to Kalashnikov Concern), then that product is not blocked and OFAC sanctions would not prohibit the U.S. person from keeping or selling the product in the secondary market, so long as Kalashnikov Concern has no interest in the transaction. The order is part of our relations with Russia, which some believe to be a continuation of the Cold War. The order is both an economic hit on Russia, and marks the first step towards the government banning guns altogether in American. What do you think? Does this order set a dangerous precedent?

This time, they blocked Interstate 5 in La Jolla, CAduring rush hour. These actions have a profound impact on innocent Americans. One black man, for instance, and the father of six kids was extraordinarily frustrated because he couldnt get to work on time. He was at serious risk of getting fired. The man finally got so angry that he pushed some of the protesters out of the way and even got a megaphone to send a message to the rioters. Fortunately, police were able to come to the scene and remove the protesters from the road. What do you think? Are you fed up with the criminal actions of these protesters?

3	If The Economy Is Recovering, Why Is The Labor Force Participation Rate At A 36 Year Low?Michael Snyder Yes, it may be hard to believe, but there are more than 100 million working age Americans that are not employed right now. Needless to say, this is not a sign of a healthy economy, and it is a huge reason why dependence on the government has soared to absolutely unprecedented levels. When people cant take care of themselves, they need someone else to take care of them. If the percentage of people in the labor force continues to decline like it has been, what is that going to mean for the future of our society? The chart below shows the changes in the civilian labor force participation rate since 1980. As you can see, the rate steadily rose between 1980 and 2000, but since then it has generally been declining. In particular, this decline has greatly accelerated since the beginning of the last recession We have never seen an extended precipitous decline of this nature before. But instead of admitting that we have a very serious problem on our hands, many mainstream economists are dismissing this decline as structural in nature. For example, check out the following excerpt from a recent Reuters article But there is a major flaw in this analysis. It turns out that older Americans are the only group for which employment numbers have actually been going up. I really like howZero Hedge made this point the other day Yes, Baby Boomers are hitting retirement age. But that does not explain why the labor force participation rate numbers for younger groups have been going down. Each month, the U.S. economy has to add somewhere between 100,000 and 150,000 jobs just to keep up with population growth. Since job creation has been tepid at best in recent years, the only way that the government has been able to get the official unemployment rate to steadily go down has been to remove millions upon millions of Americans from the labor force. According to the official government numbers, since 2007 768,000 jobs have been added to the economy, but a whopping 13 million Americans have been added to the numbers of those not in the labor force. As a result, the official unemployment rate has magically been declining. But the truth is that our employment crisis has not been solved at all. And it isnt just the number of jobs that we need to be concerned about. We are also dealing with a multi-year decline in the quality of our jobs. In fact,the Wall Street Journal just reported that 34 percent of all U.S. workers are freelancers now In other words, about a third of all workers in the country are temps at this point. I dont know about you, but to me that is an extremely alarming statistic. If the economy really was recovering, this would not be happening. And as millions upon millions of Americans are being forced out of the official labor force, an increasing number of people are turning to the underground economy. For example, in some of our major cities we are witnessing a rise in the number of street vendors. The following is an excerpt from a recent Los Angeles Times article entitled More Angelenos are becoming street vendors amid weak economy In order to have a strong middle class, we need middle class jobs. If our labor force participation rate continues to fall and the quality of our jobs continues to decline, the middle class will continue to shrink. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled 30 stats to show to anyone that does not believe the middle class is being destroyed. But our authorities never seem to want to admit what our real problems are. Instead, they love to come up with alternative theories for our economic struggles. One of the latest theories being put forward by the Federal Reserve is that the economy is not moving along like it should because ordinary Americans arehoarding money This seems completely absurd to me. From what I can see, most families are just doing their best to survive from month to month these days. I certainly dont see a lot of people hoarding money. What do you think?

1	Claiming it to be one of the most dramatic and visible signs of climate change to date, researchers said Monday that receding polar ice caps have revealed nearly 200 clandestine lairs once buried deep beneath hundreds of feet of Arctic ice. An ice shelf off the coast of Greenland in 2006 (above) and last week (below). 'We always assumed there would be some secret lairs here and there, but the sheer number now being exposed is indeed troubling,' said noted climatologist Anders Lorenzen, who claimed that the Arctic ice caps have shrunk at the alarming rate of 41,000 square miles per year. 'In August alone we discovered 44 mad scientist laboratories, three highly classified military compounds, and seven reanimated and very confused cavemen. That's more than twice the number we had found in the previous three decades combined.' 'This is no longer conjecture,' Lorenzen added. 'This is a full-blown crisis.' According to oceanographers, the Arctic Circle has been devastated by the effects of global warming in recent years, threatening hundreds of men and women who use the frozen tundra as a place to conduct bizarre experiments in human-animal grafting, carry out massive government cover-ups, or simply as a hidden headquarters from which to battle the forces of evil and fight crime. 'Last week a giant ice sheet broke off and split my prized underground complex nearly in half,' said Dr. Raygun, a self-described psychotic mastermind best known for his diabolical thought-control experiments. 'Now millions of dollars in state-of-the-art doomsday devices are goneall because of the environmental carnage wrought by the human race.' 'You spend your whole career concocting a brilliant scheme to wipe out all of mankind, and what happens?' Dr. Raygun continued. 'They bring about a major global catastrophe completely on their own, those fools!' Evil Scientist Dr. Raygun has begun the expensive task of moving his entire mutant staff to their Titan moon base. Scientists predict the problem will only get worse as rising temperatures release methane trapped in Arctic permafrost, perpetuating the warming cycle and threatening the habitats of those who depend on the ice caps for safety from the prying, meddling public. Earlier this week a flying saucer surfaced and is reportedly still pulsating with increasingly intense, unearthly colors. And late last month, a mystical order of Nazi occultists emerged from an underground bunker where they had spent decades communing with the Hyperborean gods and attempting to breed a new Aryan super-species destined to destroy Homo sapiens and rule the earth for untold millennia. The 12 elderly Germans were detained by local law enforcement in Wainwright, AK. According to a Natural Resources Defense Council survey, 78 percent of sinister one-eyed industrialists based in the Arctic have been forced to relocate their powerful underworld shadow governments, with many now secretly orchestrating world affairs from dormant volcanoes on remote islands. Many villains have also been forced to change their entire way of life. Zawallah, the super-intelligent ape whose gold-teleporter crippled the global economy during the 1980s, recently ceased operation of his orbital heat cannon. Others, meanwhile, are genuinely concerned about the effect that increased temperatures may have on the future of humanity. 'Gwaahhhhrrr-huaawwwrr-gwaahhhrrrr,' cried test subject PR-433809-21, the ghastly result of a human cloning experiment gone horribly awry. 'Pwwwuuuagharrgh!' But not all inhabitants of the polar ice caps are upset by global warming. Last month saw the thawing out of a team of British explorers frozen in 1848. Expedition members told reporters they were confident that, if more ice melts, they can finally complete their original mission of discovering a Northwest Passage. For the time being, most researchers have shifted their attention away from the ice caps and toward finding a way to contain the giant reptile monster Bizarricus, who was trapped in an ice floe by Japanese scientists in the 1950s and has now returned to teach the world a lesson about the folly of man. 
1	Geneticists at the California Institute of Technology announced Monday that they have developed a tomato with a 31 percent larger price tag than a typical specimen of the vine-ripened fruit. 'By utilizing an exciting new breakthrough in gene-splicing technology, we've been able to manipulate this new tomato with recombinant DNA in such a manner as to make it nearly as pricey as a similarly sized tangelo,' said Dr. Lee Nolan, who headed up the project. 'Genetically modified crops such as this will be instrumental in helping average grocers keep pace with unaffordable organic stores such as Whole Foods.' In addition to vastly surpassing similar produce in expense, the new tomato will reportedly wipe out four species of ladybugs.

Now, once again, Michelle revealed her true feelings by participating in an event called Black Girls Rock! The event was designed to celebrate the achievements of African American women, but when the First Lady took the stage she made some very controversial comments. Michelle told the girls in the audience to ignore voices in our society that tell them theyre not good enough, once again trying to push the idea that members of society are somehow out to get them. And while were not denying that racism exists in some corners of the United States, blanket comments like this do nothing but victimize black Americans and demonize white Americans. Statements like these are what cause deeper divisions between races. What do you think of Michelles comments? Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

3	Letter to RepublicansMilo Nickels, Contributor Many of you seem to realize that the Republican Party is on the verge of irrelevancy, and youre scrambling for answers. You are asking if its time to loosen your stance on issues like the drug war, gay marriage, abortion, immigration, national defense offense, etc. Of course the answer to that question is yes, but you seem reluctant because you dont want to sacrifice your principles. This is the wrong way to look at it. You are using the word principles incorrectly and serm to be confused of how principles are meant to be applied. The first thing you have to do is understand the definition of the word principles. Then you have to further understand that there is a difference between personal principles and political party principles. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, principles are [rules or beliefs] for governing ones personal behavior. Therefore, if you are opposed to gay marriage and decide to marry a person of the opposite sex, then you have remained true to your principles, regardless of what you are allowed to do within the scope of the law. It doesnt matter what anyone else does, or even what your partys principles are, because principles are personal. Now that you understand that principles are individual beliefs, you have to acknowledge the difference between personal principles and political principles. Political principles (arguably defined as the rules or beliefs for governing the policies of a political party) must be far broader in scope than one;s personal principles. This is because a political party is made up of a wide range of individual people; each with their own subset of personal principles. If the principles of a political party are too narrow in scope (defined by specific policies rather than general philosophies), they simply limit access to the point of irrelevancy. This is whats happening to you. This is where you run into trouble, and why you simply must loosen your party stance on policies that are based on personal principles. You have to realize that the more you push your personal principles to the front and center of your partys philosophy the more you limit access to your party. Compounding this problem is the fact that your personal principles often stand in stark contradiction with the expressed principles of your political party, making you appear to be hypocrites. How can you honestly say your party stands for small/un-intrusive government, and then say your government should intrude into who you can marry or what you can put into your own body? How can you honestly say your party stands for small taxes and fiscal responsibility, and then advocate for astoundingly expensive drug wars and foreign occupations? How can you honestly say your party wishes to remain true to the Constitution, while supporting the Patriot Act and undeclared wars? You are not in jeopardy of abandoning your partys principles by putting your own personal principles on the backburner. Youve already abandoned them by pushing your personal and contradictory principles to the forefront. The only way to keep your personal principles and your party principles alive and intact at the same time is to live your own life according to your personal principles, and stop expecting a big, tax-funded, overly intrusive government to prevent others from doing the same. Milo Nickels began blogging and cartooning about politics in the year 2000. After achieving some notoriety at that time, Milo took a break. Now, Milo has launched a new website, Five Cent Revolution where he continues to write about political issues. In particular, Milo focuses on constitutionalism, critiques of modern liberalism and progressivism, and defends individual liberty above all else. Milo wants the government out of our wallets, out of our business, and out of our lives to the greatest extent possible. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Proof That 100 Years of Voting for the Lesser Evil Gave Us Trump and HillaryOp-Ed by Carey Wedler Every four years, Americans tacitly accept evil, morally content to accept authority from the candidate they subjectively designate the least harmful. They view this as the practical solution to Americas corruption and inevitable path to destruction. They often mock and chastise those who refuse to compromise their consciences for the sake of participating in a broken system. Though these millions of voters fancy themselves strategic and savvy, their technique is failing. And, in fact, it has failed for over one hundred years, as demonstrated in an article published sixty years ago. In October of 1956, black civil rights activist, sociologist, and historian W.E. DuBois penned an article for The Nation magazine explaining why he refused to vote in that years election between then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the Democratic challenger, Adlai Stevenson. His decades-old account is still uncomfortably accurate. DuBois explained that since the year 1889, when he was 21 years of age, he had followed the lesser evil argument, especially with regard to how politicians approached the issue of black rights. In 1912 I wanted to support Theodore Roosevelt, but his Bull Moose convention dodged the Negro problem and I tried to help elect Wilson as a liberal Southerner, he wrote. But [u]nder Wilson came the worst attempt at Jim Crow legislation and discrimination in civil service that we had experienced since the Civil War. He detailed every presidential election from 1912 to 1956, pointing out his decision to choose a lesser evil every time every time noting how each president disappointed him in their willingness to address racism in the United States. But DuBois discontent did not focus only on racial injustice. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no two evils exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say, he lamented. Sound familiar? It gets worse. Two election years sixty years apart 1956 and 2016 have even deeper parallels, from perpetual war abroad to injustice and oligarchy at home: The present Administration is carrying on the greatest preparation for war in the history of mankind. Stevenson promises to maintain or increase this effort. The weight of our taxation is unbearable and rests mainly and deliberately on the poor. This Administration is dominated and directed by wealth and for the accumulation of wealth. It runs smoothly like a well-organized industry and should do so because industry runs it for the benefit of industry. Corporate wealth profits as never before in history. We turn over the national resources to private profit and have few funds left for education, health or housing. Our crime, especially juvenile crime, is increasing. Its increase is perfectly logical; for a generation we have been teaching our youth to kill, destroy, steal and rape in war; what can we expect in peace? But wait, theres still more: It costs three times his salary to elect a Senator and many millions to elect a President. This money comes from the very corporations which today are the government. This in a real democracy would be enough to turn the party responsible out of power. Yet this we cannot do. This dynamic only grew more powerful as voters continued to accept lesser evils as leaders. Like an increasing number of Americans today, DuBois elected to simply not vote. I have no advice for others in this election. Are you voting Democratic? Well and good; all I ask is why? Are you voting for Eisenhower and his smooth team of bright ghost writers? Again, why? Will your helpless vote either way support or restore democracy to America? he asked. But he refused to accept claims this position was counterproductive, as many people similarly claim today when confronted with the idea that voting accomplishes nothing, especially amid the likes of Clinton and Trump. Rather, he viewed his inaction as a positive measure: Is the refusal to vote in this phony election a counsel of despair? No, it is dogged hope. It is hope that if twenty-five million voters refrain from voting in 1956 because of their own accord and not because of a sly wink from Khrushchev, this might make the American people ask how much longer this dumb farce can proceed without even a whimper of protest. Even DuBois parallels to Russia and China are still applicable, especially in light of the Clinton campaigns unsubstantiated fear mongering about Russia hacking the election. DuBois was a socialist, and in this essay also lamented the lack of exposure many Americans had toward the ideology. While many will disagree with this worldview, his diagnosis of the problem was disturbingly correct. I will be no party to it and that will make little difference. You will take large part and bravely march to the polls, and that also will make no difference. Stop running Russia and giving Chinese advice when we cannot rule ourselves decentlyhe wrote. Stop yelling about a democracy we do not have. Democracy is dead in the United States. Yet there is still nothing to replace real democracy. Drop the chains, then, that bind our brains. Drive the money-changers from the seats of the Cabinet and the halls of Congress. Call back some faint spirit of Jefferson and Lincoln, and when again we can hold a fair election on real issues, lets vote, and not till then. Is this impossible? Then democracy in America is impossible. If over 100 years of voting for lesser evil and avoiding candidates outside the two-party system has produced Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as the two best options, it appears DuBois was and still is correct.

Hillary Clinton is campaigning on platforms such as: stealing more of our money, disarming Americans, provoking potentially thermonuclear war with Russia and legalizing 3rd trimester abortions. Its irresponsible for any American not to do whatever it takes to keep her out of office. Everyone can sit back and enjoy, your G-D has be elected, We the People are FRELLED I have never seen a candidate work as hard as Trump. Movement is the key word yes, drain the swamp, its a big swamp. Dont do what the anti-war progressives did when Obummer was elected, they went back to sleep. Do not sit back and relax yet. Remember he was also covered by the corporate owned media. Ron Paul was NOT. To me that is a key flag. The difference with Paul was that they thought him a legitimate contender so they did not dare give him any publicity. With Trump they totally underestimated the mans resolve, inner strength and ambition and ALL the coverage he got from the MSM was always disparaging. hilerump???? OR is it trumpery??? The lesser of two evils (or is it the evil of two lessers) was the inevitable consequence of the 18th-century founders usurping Yahwehs exclusive election authority, per Deuteronomy 17:15.

3	Passwords to SurveillanceCatherine J. Frompovich Doesnt that sound like something that would have taken place in the former Soviet Union or definitely in Nazi Germany, that is, if old Adolph would have had current technology? Instead of making Germanys Jewish citizens wear their traditional six-pointed-staractually interlocking triangles depicting as above, so belowHitler would have targeted their every conversation, just like whats going on now in the United States of America. Who would believe that really is going on in the USA? Congress is to blame, in this writers opinion, because it has gone along with all the changes to the 2001 Patriot Act and certainly is not bridling all those Presidential Executive Orders (PEOs) citizens dont know aboutor care aboutuntil they take effect. Please study all Mr. Obamas PEOs. Warning: Take a calming sedative before reading. Mr. Obama has issued over 150 PEOs since his very first PEO (#13489) dealing with Presidential Records secrecy the day after he was first inaugurated in 2009 to his most recent PEO Authorizing the Implementation of Certain Sanctions issued June 3, 2013. In essence, what PEOs do is legally establish one-man-authoritarian-rule! A dictatorship, if and when a sitting president wants to invoke his special privileges that he gave himself by issuing PEOs, while voters, the Congress, and the U.S. Supreme Court cant do a damn thing about it. Did you know that? If thats the case, so why do we need Congress? Or even the U.S. Supreme Court? We certainly could save a lot of taxpayers moneyand get closer to a balanced budgetby not having to pay those not-so-cheap-salaries plus pensions. Or, is that the ultimate plan for future change? In view of how the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) was ramrodded down Congresss collective throats, and how we now learn that it is not affordable at all, with healthcare insurance premiums for a family of five probably costing between $20,000 to $25,000 a year, shouldnt everyone who breathes air be demanding change that Mr. Obama promised, e.g., like no more sneaky Pete surprises from Congress, SCOTUS, or the Executive branch, i.e., the president. U.S. citizens deserve better, I think. How about you? According to the listing in Kings article, which I encourage you to read, this is how those selected passwords or phrases break out: Domestic Security includes 54 with such mundane words as recovery and drill. So, if you are writing an email telling your friend about your recovery from the drill bit accident you suffered, you have used two passwords to surveillance, i.e., recovery and drill. Hazmat Nuclear includes 35 words or phrases with such pedestrian words as cloud and burn. Again, if you send an email to your sister telling her about your fantastic day spent at the beach being a cloudless day and that you suffered a nasty sun burn, you are now under DHSs surveillance. Health Concern H1N1 has 38 words or phrases that will put everyone on DHSs surveillance, in this writers opinion, because that list includes such words as pork, virus, flu, food poisoning, etc. Just imagine sharing this with your BFF: Boy, did I get a bad case of food poisoning from eating that pork barbecue sandwich we had for lunch today. At first I thought I was coming down with a virus or the flu until I went to the emergency room. Can you imagine being put on a watch list for those two sentences using 4 passwords to surveillance? Even though we need terrorist-proof security, we also need common sense, something that seems to be lacking with the current administration and Congress, I think. If we are supposed to be protected from foreign terrorists, most of whom have been identified as Al-Qaeda associated, wouldnt you think there would be some foreign language, Arabic-like, Farsi, or even Israeli words on that DHS passwords to surveillance lists? Its not too hard to figure out whats going on, but what do we do about it?

3	Are You Aiding and Abetting the IRS?Jamie Lee If you drive a car, Ill tax the street, The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax. Albert Einstein When asked, in an extremely unscientific poll I have been conducting over the years, Why do you continue to pay income taxes when you know these payments are being used to engage in illegal wars on countries that have never attacked us and to pay the banksters servicing costs on our massive debt that they created with the consent and full ownership of our amoral government leaders? This poll found that: I then asked a follow up to those who did not want to go to jail if they knew anyone personally who had gone to jail for not paying their taxes and their answer was a 100% No! I followed this up with a simple question to all: Do you know why, how or when the U.S federal income tax system was installed. That got another 100% response of No from all those polled. So to recap; Every April 15th we voluntarily assess our own wages and earnings into a system we have no idea how, when or why it was created. We work on average for 3 1/2 months just pay into our taxes and this money is used principally to fund war operations against others and pay just the service charges on our $16 Trillion dollar debt. All because we are ignorant or afraid to go to jail if we dont pay which directly involves our complicit act of self-policing ourselves while perpetuating and annually compounding the problems we most want to solve in this country of too much debt and war, which if eliminated by our refusal to voluntarily pay taxes would end both major problems we face. Did you know? 100 years ago our nation had no debt, had the wealthiest middle class in the world and only the top 10% paid income tax. Since that time here are just some of the taxes that have been added: This past November Californians voted to increase our sales tax, otherwise we were threatened that our public school systems would suffer drastic cuts, even though none of the tax increases would necessarily go to the schools but into the states General Fund. In addition to cuts being proposed to our social security system that we paid into and that allegedly the government has grossly mismanaged here are more taxes being proposed and already being enacted. U.S. Income Tax Has Its Roots in Marxism: In 1848, Karl Marx declared in his Communist Manifesto that a progressive tax on personal income was one of the 10 essential measures to ensure a Communist revolution in an advanced country in order to bring about his fabled classless society. Socialist and Communist ideas gained momentum in many parts of Europe, and it wasnt long before they reached America. Various attempts to impose a progressive federal income tax making the rich pay a higher percentage than the poor soon appeared in this country. The Revenue Act of 1861 was a federal income tax used to raise revenue to fund the Civil War. It was a flat tax of three percent on annual income above $800. The following year, this was replaced with a graduated (progressive) tax from three to five percent on income above $600 in the Revenue Act of 1862, which ended in 1866. Interestingly, the progressive income tax was originally backed strongly by the rich themselves. Senator Nelson Aldrich of Rhode Island, for example, a man widely known to be John D. Rockefellers inside man in the Senate, was a principal proponent of a federal progressive income tax made legal by an amendment to the Constitution. This is not surprising, for although the progressives who championed the income tax claimed that it would be a tax on the rich and that it would help the little guy, in reality it was largely a tax on the middle class. This is mainly because the wealthy, through the use of trusts and tax-exempt foundations, are able to escape much of their tax burden yet still have great influence and power over business, banking, and government. There was a significant difference between the propaganda and the reality; the populism championed by the progressives and populists was not the share the wealth program they portrayed it to be, but a control-the-wealth program. Under the guise of helping the little guy, the elites worked hard to implement an income tax. In keeping with the ideology of its primary backers, the new income tax was to be a progressive tax one in which the tax rate increases as the taxable base income increases. While certainly not oppressive when compared to todays income-tax schedule, the new federal income tax represented a radical departure from the type of government Americans had lived under prior to the income tax. It gave the federal government access to potentially huge amounts of revenue that the government could then tap to finance various programs, very much including unconstitutional programs. Of course, even with increased funds available via the income tax, spending money on unconstitutional programs is still unconstitutional, but with the federal government now possessing the means to siphon vast streams of money out of the pockets of the American people into the coffers in Washington, the temptation to tap this resource to empower Washington was clearly too great to resist. The transfer of revenue and power to Washington not only strengthened Washington but also weakened the states, which themselves are republics (not provinces) in our federal system of government and possess powers not transferred to the national government by the U.S. Constitution. The very fact that the income tax now imposed on the American people is a progressive tax means the tax serves the purpose not only of providing the U.S. government with a powerful means of obtaining revenue, but also enables the government to redistribute the wealth. And with the creation of a de facto central bank (the Federal Reserve, no more Federal then Federal Express), also in 1913, the federal government has been essentially freed from budgetary restraints, since it can now simply print money to cover operating expenses if revenue is insufficient. By 1920, only 12 percent of the adult population paid an income tax. By 1940, that percentage had doubled. In 1942, the temporary measure of automatic withholding was instituted but never ended. Withholding gives the federal government the first crack at everyones income. The government now takes what it wants and needs for its many projects, most of them unconstitutional, and leaves the income earner the rest. By 1960, more than two-thirds of American adults were paying the income tax, with most of it withheld from every paycheck. By the 1980s, estimates were that 75 to 80 percent of the nations adults were paying the tax and that taxes on incomes amounted to 25 percent of all earnings, with taxes from all sources federal, state, and local moving above the one-third mark. (Source) Now for the really fun part. The Internal Revenue Service is listed under the Department of Treasury yet there is no mention of the IRS in its Title 31 U.S. code. The income tax was first established within an Act of Congress approved on August 5, 1861, An Act to provide increased revenue from imports to pay interest on the public debt, and for other purposes. As stated above, internal revenue is a specific part of customs. Customs concerns foreign commerce. Since internal revenue is within the customs, the U.S. possessions are defined as foreign countries within the Internal Revenue Code, for example; 26 USC Sec. 865(i)(3), Sec. 872(b)(7), and Sec. 2014(g). This is necessary to consider internal revenue as foreign commerce. The federal government owns the U.S. possessions and may designate them in any fashion that suits it. However, as will be evidenced within this page and the link to the court document herein, the reason that U.S. possessions are treated as foreign countries is to foment the personal income tax dispute while ignoring the cause Social Security. It is, therefore, necessary for an American to be both a taxpayer and a U.S. citizen to be eligible to apply for a Social Security number. By applying for a Social Security number, an American has given the federal government prima facie evidence that that person is a U.S. citizen and a taxpayer. After all, it is said that ignorance of the law is no excuse. The combination of the terms U.S. citizen and taxpayer is known as a U.S. resident. This is defined at title 26 USC Sec. 865(g). A U.S. citizen, in other words, a person born in one of the sovereign states who then establishes a residence in a U.S. possession and further acquires U.S. possession citizenship, who now resides in the United States would be a foreigner since the U.S. possessions are treated as foreign countries. The definition of the term taxpayer proves that a taxpayer is a federal employee, specifically within the Merchant Marine. Federal employment taxes only apply to federal employees. Did you know the definition of taxpayer? You must understand that when the government defines a term it no longer has anything to do with the original definition of the word as found in a dictionary. Part of the definition of taxpayer concerns section 511 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936. Within section 511 is the definition of a controlled foreign corporation. This matches with the scenario of an American employer that consists of a domestic corporation that has a foreign subsidiary. The only definitions of taxpayer within chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code are at 26 USC Sec. 1313(b) and 26 USC Sec. 7701(a)(14). Both of these definitions vaguely define a taxpayer as someone subject to an internal revenue tax, but what internal revenue itself is remains unsaid. The definition of taxpayer also states that it may include a partnership. A Social Security number is a persons membership number in the partnership that is the taxpayer. Then what exactly is internal revenue? Internal revenue is a specific part of the customs. Customs derives revenue from the collection of duties on importing (and tonnage, the impact of a vessel on the harbor and wharves) from foreign countries. Therefore, by applying for a Social Security number one has become a U.S resident, a term within the Internal Revenue Code that includes the definitions of the terms taxpayer and U.S. citizen. A free sovereign American that applies for a Social Security number has unwittingly applied to become an employee of a foreign affiliate of an American employer that itself is the taxpayer and that holds an undistributed dividend for each of its partners, said dividend being derived from income taxes paid by its foreign subsidiary. This is, therefore, self-employment income attributed to the individual partner who applied for a Social Security number and now, since the dividend is derived from revenue from importing within the jurisdiction of the internal revenue laws, subject to the income tax. In other words, the U.S. Resident is a federal tax collector of revenue from importing duties within the jurisdiction of the internal revenue laws. Why doesnt the individual have to list the income from this undistributed dividend? Well, the IRS Form 1040 is actually a foreign tax credit form. The income from the undistributed dividend is offset by a foreign tax credit FICA. Since the U.S. possessions are treated as foreign countries, FICA is a foreign tax. The government has slowly brainwashed Americans over many generations to believe that an Americans earnings are somehow a federally taxable item. But the income tax only applies to collectors and assessors of internal revenue taxes. It is obvious that the government never intended that Social Security should be a benevolent insurance program. By hiding the definitions of taxpayer, U.S. citizen, and U.S. resident the government is able to use common, ordinary words to hide their true intentions. When an American hears the word taxpayer the meaning is a payer of taxes, while the government means a federal employee in the Merchant Marine. Then to use an undistributed dividend to export the necessary income to all the partners within the partnership (the American employer that is the true taxpayer) in order to make it legal from the governments viewpoint to enforce the income tax laws upon all Social Security applicants is truly beyond the scope of any kind of honest credibility. The governments machinations behind the Social Security scheme are truly malicious and hateful. Sources: To read more from Jamie Lee, please visit his site TABU, where this article first appeared.

One police officer did not make it out alive. His name was Officer Garrett Swasey. He sacrificed his life to save dozens. Four other officers were injured. And up to 12 civilians were casualties. The man was using a long gun outside of a Planned Parenthood facility. He did not have any motives as far as the police have determined. The day after Thanksgiving, now more than ever we should be thankful for every day we are given on this earth. RIP. Will you pray for the injured officers and their families? 
2	He Went On The Late Show To Do An Impression, What Happened Next Will Leave You Clapping This Elvis impression was done in 1977but we still love it. Andy Kaufman was a strange guy, who often did some silly things to get attention and hopefully to make people laugh. Maybe you remember him wrestling in the 1970s and 80s, or some of his bits on Saturday Night Live. Once, he even read an entire book to a crowd of students, instead of doing his comedy routine. However, one thing he did that we still enjoyhis 1977 impression of Elvis Presley, singing his signature classic, Blue Suede Shoes. Kaufman, who was known for his impressions, was on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Andy slicks his hair back, puts on the blue and silver glittery suit, and proceeds to do an amazing job of impersonating Elvis Presley, singing Blue Suede Shoes and Love Me. Check out this video of an incredibly talented impression artist, and share with all your fellow Elvis fans. The way he hits those low notes is so Elvis-like, it brings us back. Check out this video of Kaufman, then compare it to one of the King himself!

3	Unable to Stop Criminals, Texas Cops Now Pull You Over for Driving Safely to Reward YouBy William N. Grigg The pretext offered by the department is its Doing it Right Safe Driving Campaign, through which officers who lurk in the shadows like rapists stop drivers who appear to be following all of the rules and then given Starbucks gift certificates but only if a scan of the drivers license and registration reveals no outstanding warrants or violations. The confused and anxious motorists are not told the purpose of the traffic stop until the officer returns with the surprise gift which is actually a species of Trojan Horse that permits the officer to sneak a peek at the drivers record without a legally valid reason. Recently, weve seen a lot of negative things about the police, explained Lakeview Police Chief David Hotchkiss to the Baxter Bulletin newspaper. I just wanted to do something that let the community see us doing something good and let us look for drivers doing good things. The idea earned the approval of Lakeview mayor Dennis Behling and the City Council, and attracted the interest of local citizens who donated the money to buy gift certificates ranging in price from $15 to $25 dollars apiece. According to Chief Hotchkiss, the Doing it Right initiative offers an opportunity to interact with people for a positive reason. For the community, it allowed them to interact with us when there was nothing wrong and we were giving them a gift. That allowed us to start relationships on a positive note and thats great. The Chief expressed satisfaction over looking for someone doing something right. If this were the case, of course, police who stopped drivers for the supposed purpose of commending them for their careful and responsible conduct would not be reviewing their records in search of something wrong. There is no such thing as an innocuous contact between a citizen and a police officer, especially when that contact involves a demand for identification and scrutiny of the citizens background. In every contact with a citizen, a police officer treats the latter as a potential suspect and a threat to officer safety. Police are taught to treat every encounter as a potentially life-threatening situation, and citizens would be wise to do the same. Citizens should also assume that the police officer is not looking for an excuse to commend you, but rather for a reason to arrest you, especially when they refuse to provide any explanation for the stop. Texas residents, in particular, have reason to understand that reality. Because of the unwarranted actions of the officer who initiated it, Sandra Blands encounter with the police escalated from a routine stop to an altercation that led to an arrest, spurious charges of assaulting an officer, and the motorists still-unexplained death in a jail cell. The officer in that incident treated Blands assertion of her rights as a threat to his safety, and a form of contempt of cop that supposedly justified summary punishment. The Doing it Right program was brought to the attention of The Free Thought Project by a Lakeview resident a recent arrival who asked that her name not be used. If the police want to reward somebody for doing things right, give the driver the reward without treating them like a suspect first, she suggested.Reasonable as that recommendation may be, it would vitiate the entire purpose of the exercise. Other Reasonable as that recommendation may be, it would spoil the entire purpose of the exercise. Other residents of the town of roughly 6,600 with a crime rate much higher than the national average might find it curious that the police are spending time on a low-risk, high-profile PR campaign that allows them to rummage through the records of harmless drivers, rather than dealing with the citys ever-growing number of robberies and burglaries. Given the choice of trolling for revenue or protecting property, police in Lakeview like their comrades elsewhere will always opt for the first alternative. William N. Grigg writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Why are the going after drivers? Because real criminals are scary. I refuse to report any criminal activity I see in public, near a bank or stealing items in a store because it doesnt concern me and I dont get paid for my time, and/ or no one shows me appreciation for reporting this activity, and besides the bastards you report to may accuse you of being an accomplice. No one appreciated the two men that held a man stealing from Best Buy, in fact they were fired! Seems now days you cant trust anyone, which is why everyone should refuse to vote in any election, incl me in over twenty five years. Local state and federal political corruption gets worse every year. Politicians are bought and cops get bribes for drugs, etc. older and wiser and cynical on people in general. This isnt legal. They cant detain people without cause. Its complete BS that will never pass in court to say they just want to stop you and tell you they appreciate you. It is the flesh with its carnal desires which blinds the eyes, the reason, of humankind. It is the flesh that desires this and that; and, as the unhallowed desires of the flesh are obeyed, the voice of the soul is hushed. The man in authority takes great care to keep humanity living in the desires of the flesh only; for well does he know that, when man is freed from the unworthy desires of the flesh, he is also freed from slavery to others who profit by that slavery. How about if we just walk into the police station with a loaded gun that will penetrate the bulletproof glass behind which these coward thugs hide, demand to know why there isnt a website detailing their crimes against us, then hand them a coupon for a product they dont want nor need, if they provide satisfying answers? The gentle tyrants lol. It just doesnt seem to phase me anymore since I have gotten so used to it by now. I wonder what they will do next. Its not like anyone can stop them. 
1	Jason Pinter, a 33-year-old data-systems specialist who has not had sex in eight months, reported Tuesday that the celibacy streak has made him feel 19 again. The nostalgically celibate Pinter. 'Wow, talk about dj vu,' said Pinter, staring longingly at an attractive woman at Murphy's Pub. 'All this not-getting-laid really takes me back.' Pinter has not been intimate with a woman since early February, when Claire Sundberg, his girlfriend of four years, broke up with him. He called the past eight months 'the longest dry spell since just after high school' and 'a real blast from the past.' 'I lost my virginity right after I turned 20 and have pretty much had a girlfriend or something ever since,' Pinter said. 'Even though it's like I'm reliving my days as a horny, frustrated teenager all over again, this time I know exactly what I'm missing. So in a way, it's actually worse.' Since the breakup with Sundberg, Pinter's interactions with women have been characterized by nervousness, a fear of eye contact, and an inability to make natural, charming conversation. Such insecurities have remained dormant, or at least been kept under control, for the past 14 years. 'I keep having flashbacks to my old freshman dorm,' Pinter said. 'The other night, I was awkwardly trying to chat up this woman at a bar and, I swear, I could almost smell that combination of stale pizza, old socks, and my roommate's Drakkar Noir.' Pinter's sexless streak has triggered other memories of his late-teenage years. 'I got home last night and had the urge to listen to [Jane's Addiction's] Nothing's Shocking,' Pinter said. 'I haven't listened to that album in, like, 10 years, but then I remembered how I used to listen to it whenever I came home drunk and alone in college. It really transported me back to that time when the whole world seemed fresh and new and I couldn't get a hand job to save my life.' Even the dating advice Pinter has received of late takes him back. 'My friends at work have been telling me to be myself and not act so desperate,'' Pinter said. 'I don't need to hear that. It's the same old shit I heard back in high school, like when I had a huge crush on Desiree from French class, and my friend Kristin used to give me that sort of advice during her weekly pep talks. I wonder what Desiree's up to these days.' While Pinter's past inability to get laid stemmed from a lack of sexual experience and his chronic acne, today the cause lies largely with Sundberg. 'Claire dumping me, that really did some serious damage to my self-esteem,' Pinter said. 'I haven't felt this insecure and self-conscious around girls since I was lab partners with Brittany Ellis, the leader of the pom-pom squad. The only way I could feel like a bigger loser is if I got into my Honda Civic and cruised the local strip with my rocket-club buddies, like I used to do right after I got my driver's license.' 'In order to have sex, you have to be confident in your sexuality, or at least appear confident,' Pinter continued. 'But in order to be confident, you have to have sex. It's, like, this Catch-22 sexual-confidence loop that I spent all of high school and half of college trying to break. And now I have to break it all over again.' Though he has ruled out hiring a prostitute or taking out a personals ad, Pinter wonders if he'll ever break his celibacy cycle. 'I keep trying to remember what I was doing right in my early 20s,' Pinter said. 'After I started having sex, things just seemed to fall into place. Now, I somehow feel like I'm right back where I started. Maybe I'm just doomed to never have sex.' Added Pinter: 'Whoa, that's something I haven't said in a while.'

Now, just days after Donald Trump took the presidency, conservatives everywhere are already working to put his plans into action. In a recent interview, Ben Carson was asked if he intends to get involved in the structure of a plan to replace Obamacare. Trump has promised that his plan will benefit all Americans, unlike the disastrous plan Obama has put in place. Having standards that apply to everybody in the society obviously is an important think, Carson continued, before coming to Trumps defense once more. I think actually a lot of the people who have tried to demonize him will be quite shocked when they see who he really is, he concluded. Hell be a very easy person to work with as long as youre reasonable; as long as youre fair. Trumps presidency cant come soon enough. Do you agree? 
3	HRW Report on Syrian Torture Nonsensical, HypocriticalCareless readers might think report covers Western atrocities committed in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Western press leapt into action, promoting and sensationalizing a recent report on alleged torture taking place in Syria. The report, put out by convicted criminal, Wall Street specular George Soros Open Society-funded Human Rights Watch (HRW), is based solely on 200 alleged victims of the abuse including opposition members and alleged defectors interviewed either by phone or Skype, or in terrorist havens inside NATO-member Turkey along the Turkish-Syrian border. The report, in reality, is the latest chapter of a nefarious, premeditated propaganda campaign aimed at perpetuating the violence and instability in Syria in hopes of finalizing the Wests long-planned regime change and the installation of a Western proxy-client state. Such war propaganda is a crime against world peace, as determined by the Nuremberg precedent.

1	With government figures indicating double-digit home-heating cost increases in coming months, America's reptilian citizens are warning that, unless swift measures are taken to provide them with adequate warmth, many will face serious metabolic crises this winter. 'Unlike our mammalian citizens, who maintain a consistent body temperature and have the option of throwing on a sweater, reptiles are entirely dependent on external heat sources,' Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) said. 'All my constituents are facing rate hikes of 21 percent or more. But some of them, like it or not, may be forced into a quasi-hibernative state if they do not receive emergency fuel-price relief.' According to Department of Energy data, households in northern states have seen their home-heating bills double or even triple in recent winters. Heating costs in reptilian households have quadrupled the cost of special U.V. light bulbs. Reaction in the reptile community has been uncharacteristically jittery. 'I don't ask for the average American to understand my lifestyle,' said Arthur Marsters, 141, a cost-benefit analyst for Prudential Financial in Boston. 'But there's no changing the fact that I am a giant tortoise. If I cannot maintain my core temperature, I cannot be a productive member of society, nor can I provide for my wife and latest clutch of hatchlings.' Marsters was not alone in his concern for the well-being of his loved ones. Anxieties are running deep in a community that, while close-knit, cannot huddle together for warmth. Members of the Whitlow family of Elgin, IL, who have struggled to maintain their body temperatures this winter. 'People think we're lazy, spending all summer sunning ourselves on rocks and our winters in cozy burrows,' said Mary Lou Keller, a cosmetologist and coral snake who moved to New England from Florida as a packing-crate stowaway three years ago. 'But no one ever sees a reptile on food stamps. And you never see a fat one, unless it has just swallowed something whole.' Although home-heating assistance programs for needy families are available throughout the country, some reptile advocates such as Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) argue that the application process is unfairly geared toward humans. 'Reptiles regularly apply for the needed benefits, but their tendency to react slowly means that their paperwork often misses the prescribed deadlines,' Reed said. 'Last year, we all heard the distressing reports of entire skink families relocating under stoves.' Reedwho owes his congressional seat to the crocodile vote and has extensive support from the terrarium, gravel, and pellet industriesis calling for heating-cost subsidies and tax credits for any vertebrate quadruped citizen who lays eggs. 'Natural-gas costs have doubled; heating-oil prices had their biggest spike in five years,' Reed said. 'I had an iguana in my office the other day who told me he had to take on a second job as a hippie's pet to ensure that his young have enough heat and lettuce this winter. This poor creature has enough problems maintaining a proper body temperature; now he's forced to be an absentee dad to his kids? That's just not right.' 
3	New Mysterious Booms Reported in New JerseyBrandon Turbeville According to an NBC 10 report, broadcast on October 5, 2012, residents who experienced the event said that both the noise and the impact felt exactly like an explosion, with many stating that the impact actually shook the windows of their home. NBC 10 conducted interviews with several of the Manchester Township citizens who all agreed that the sound and impact was akin to an explosion, with some interviewees stating that the booms were strong enough to frighten them awake. One resident stated that, although he can routinely sleep through thunder, he actually believed that his car had hit something. Another woman who was interviewed said the booms were so loud she thought the house next door had blown up. However, this is not the first experience Manchester Township citizens have had with the mysterious booms. In fact, over the last few months, residents have experienced these booms several times. Although, as NBC 10 noted, the Lakehurst military base is located near Manchester Township, the news crew contacted the base and were told that there were no explosions on the base on the date that the residents experienced the booms. The Manchester Township incident, in addition to the incident which occurred in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina, bears a striking similarity to yet more mysterious booms which occurred all over the state of Michigan in June of this year. Whatever it is, the only thing that is clear is that no one who has experienced the booms can explain what they are. Perhaps what should be even more concerning, however, is that no answers are coming from anyone who may be in a position to know what these booms might be. If someone does know, they certainly arent telling anyone else. Have you heard these mystery explosions?

1	Approximately eight million Americans living below the poverty line were rescued from economic hardship Monday, when the U.S. Census Bureau redefined the term. 'We are winning the war on poverty,' said bureau head James Irving, who lowered the poverty line for a four-person family to $14,945. 'Today, millions of people whose inflation-adjusted total household income is less than $16,780 are living better lives.' Said formerly poor Jackson, MS, motel housekeeper Althea Williams: 'I never dreamed I'd ever become middle-class. America truly is the land of opportunity.' 
3	Global Terrorists or New World Order?Whats in a name? For all the truth seekers who care about justice, accountability, individual freedom, the Constitution and the American way, here is a question. Are we fighting to expose the globalists who have hijacked democracy, freedom and the Constitution to impose their will on the masses? Yes we are. Many people call this the New World Order and rightly so as George H.W. Bush and many others have coined this phrase in the past and it has become a commonly used term to refer to the so-called global elite plan for world domination. Let us take a closer look, however, at this topic of names and titles. Anyone who knows a thing or two about marketing and brand building knows that sometimes its all in the name. For those who understand what is happening globally and understand how the central bankers, financial elite, politicians and military have sequestered their influence and power to form this current system, which was referred to by President Dwight Eisenhower as the Military Industrial Complex, I want to suggest that this so called New World Order should be kept in the right context. By that I mean lets use this term only when it applies. For example; The New World Order is the term they have used to refer to the structure of their plans as it relates to the world. They, however, carefully chose this name. Then there is the word World. While the word world is not a bad or unkind word in any way it is does ring a differenet kind of bell when contrasted with terms such as Nation States and National Sovereignty. In terms of securing national sovereignty and individual freedom suddenly the notion of world can present a major threat to that sovereignty. The founding fathers understood the importance of having multiple checks and balances of legal and moral responsibilities and authority. They understood the importance of separation of powers and the importance of not allowing power to be coalesced into the hands a few. This prevention of coalescence is fundamental to healthy and happy human living. If there are any lessons that we can take from this battle for prevention of global domination by a few this is definitely one of them. Power must be kept separated and in the hands of as many people as possible. This is a fundamental principle recognized by the founding fathers, let us not ignore this lesson. Finally there is the term Order. Order implies something good, organized, free of stress and confusion, and maybe even godly. Order also implies that you have nothing to fear because things are comfortably in place, chaos is missing and things are right. Nothing can be further from the truth. The globalist plans for global domination is only orderly from the masters point of view. They will gladly exterminate three-quarters of humanity in an orderly manner and continue with their business. Beware of this deceptive term. There could never be order for humanity when psychopaths are in control and lies are the norm. Order cannot be achieved when human life is disregarded and human suffering is looked the other way upon. There is nothing stress relieving, comfortable or right about human behavior being monitored and controlled by the wishes of a few psychopaths. Nature in fact teaches us that randomness, spontaneity, constant change, adaptation and evolution is the norm. One cannot try to engineer and interfere with nature. Attempting to artificially impose order on a planet of over 7 billion amazing sovereign human beings is an experiment out of a Frankenstein movie. It is the manifestation of the psychopath mentality. For these reasons we should focus on what the globalists really are. They are global terrorists in the process of implementing their global terror plans on the rest of humanity. Their true nature is being fully revealed to humanity in an accelerated manner. Humanity can now identify who these global terrorists are, what they want, how they operate and where they want to go with their agenda. To see their plans is to stop their plans. Humanity can now begin the momentum against these global terrorists that is long overdue. They know that their time is running out and that, soon, enough of humanity will be awakened to their plans and their identities and they will be systematically removed from power and punished accordingly. Until then, please consider the difference between what and who someone is and what ideology they represent versus what they WANT to be called or how they want to be viewed. In psychology this is referred to as the way a person wants to be perceived, which is often quite different from the way a person is actually perceived by the world around them. Finally, the New World Order blueprint these criminals have designed is the very proof of why we must continue to fight to expose and eventually dissolve this ideology. Humanity will get there in due time. Let us all continue this fight and let the chips fall where they may. For humanity that is good news, for the globalists not so good.

1	In a group statement released Monday to all known broadcast, cable, online, and print news outlets, publicists from throughout the entertainment industry urgently warned that the nation's celebrities remain 'dangerously under-famous' and need to become 'much, much more' famous than they currently are. Citing what they referred to as 'an alarming lack' of buzz, heat, press, and word-of-mouth surrounding the country's celebrities, the consortium of publicists called for immediate action to help remedy deficiencies in celebrity name-recognition and career-awareness nationwide. 'The current level of celebrity fame is, quite simply, unacceptable,' the strongly worded statement read in part. 'We, as a society, must rectify this problem by paying more attention to the celebrities who occupy the public sphere, right away and without delay. Their faces need to be on more magazines covers, their names need to be spoken aloud more often, and their careers need to be more unmistakably on the rise.' 'The time for standing idly by while fame levels stagnate or drop is over' the statement concluded. 'The nation's celebrities desperately need real, quality face-time with the American public, and they need it now.' Publicists everywhere, all of whom are in total agreement about the grave conclusions reached in the collective report, stressed that the nation's actors, musicians, competitive dance show contestants, satellite-radio personalities, game show hosts, politicians, media pundits, club-scene staples, talk-show circuit regulars, authors of bestselling legal thrillers, models, infotainment providers, fashion designers, charity spokespersons, comedians, athletes, pop singers, television evangelists, porn stars with tell-all autobiographies being published soon, professional poker players, independent filmmaking auteurs, high-profile magazine editors, and magicians are all on the cusp of greater stardom and require the immediate fascination of mainstream America. According to the consortium of publicists, it is also absolutely crucial that the nations' celebrities achieve crossover fame in multiple markets. 'Our mission is to ensure celebrities get their names out there and keep them out there,' said publicist Luke Stone, explaining that these peopleand notably his clientsare all the very highest talents in their respective fields. 'They are simply too good and too gifted not to be seen and heard. Everyone in the country should be talking about these people.' While noting that the reasons the nation's celebrities deserve more attention are 'innumerable,' the publicists listed a number of specific factors such as likability, overall sexiness, personality, charm, and the fact that they have a big new project coming out right now that represents the best workby farof their entire careers. The publicists also stressed that, although a nice low-profile indie project would go a long way toward solidifying the artistic credibility of the nation's celebrities, what they urgently require right now is a hit. 'There are approximately 6 billion human beings living on this planet, and we believe each and every one of them should know not only who the nation's celebrities are, but what they are working on, what they have just finished, and what their plans after this may or may not turn out to be,' publicist Janet Thompson said. 'Additionally, the topics of what they are wearing, who they are dating, and where they are going on vacation are urgent matters about which awareness must be increased as soon as possible.' Reiterating that the nation's celebrities are currently at the peak of their powers and primed for either a breakout hit, a successful follow-up, or the comeback of a lifetime, publicists across the country lamented the fact that so many famous individuals are not being provided with the support they so urgently need. 'The sad fact we are facing is that many famous people today exist below the level of household name,' publicist James Friar, also a signatory of the statement, told reporters. 'For example, there are literally billions of people out there who do not even know who Graham Bunn is. I'm sorry to say it, but it's true. And that is something we should all be ashamed of.' 'Even a cursory glance at Graham Bunn's body of work reveals him to be an extraordinary individual,' he added. As of press time, each and every one of the celebrities asked to comment on the ongoing fame-inadequacy emergency were available, in the form of exclusive interviews, magazine cover stories, and high-profile television appearances, and could be reached via their respective publicists. 
3	Setting the Stage for War With PakistanTony Cartalucci Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Carlotta Gall, who spent more than a decade covering Afghanistan since 2001, concludes just that in her new book, The Wrong Enemy: America in Afghanistan, 2001-2014. Gall told On the Radar that Pakistan not Afghanistan has been the United States real enemy. And while Galls book might be easily dismissed as irrelevant warmongering, it echoes a narrative that was crafted by some of the most notorious policy makers in the US and promoted widely in 2011 across the Western media. This included the BBCs documentary, Secret Pakistan, from which it appears Gall is deriving her premise. Unraveling the Propaganda The documentary Secret Pakistan can be summed up with two very telling quotes. The first is from Sherard Cowper-Coles, a British diplomat who served as the Foreign Secretarys Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan from 2009-2010, before that as ambassador to Israel and Saudi Arabia, and now the international business development director of British defense contractor BAE Systems. He claims during the BBC documentary that (44:00): The next important quote comes toward the end of the documentary where former CIA officer and current fellow at the corporate-funded think-tank, Brookings Institution, Bruce Riedel (57:35) claims: This comment, however, is not as straight forward or as truthful as Cowper-Coles. However, if one realizes that this destabilization Riedel is hinting at is actually the work of the US and NATO done as a pretext to intervene more directly in Pakistan, then it becomes truly telling and we see the BBC documentary, along with Galls recent book, as yet more examples of a corporate-media conjured casus belli. War With Pakistan Afghanistan was never the final destination for the many empires in human history that found themselves mired there. The United States and its axis partners are no different. Just as it was a strategic springboard for the Greeks, British, and Russians to project their power beyond, the US sees Afghanistan in a similar light, with neighboring Iran, Pakistan, and China in particular mind. The most overt example comes in the form of nearly a decade of deadly US drone attacks carried out in Pakistani territory. These attacks have led to over 3,000 killed, a quarter of which have been civilians, and constitutes an act of war no other nation on Earth would tolerate. While the US claims these operations are anti-terror in nature, they appear to be instead a component among a much greater campaign to undermine and destabilize Pakistan politically. Other components include the direct US support of separatists in Pakistans Baluchistan province. Baluchi terrorists straddle the Iranian-Pakistani border and have long been considered by the West as armed proxies of great utility. In a 2006 report by the corporate-financier funded think tank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace titled, Pakistan: The Resurgence of Baluch Nationalism, violence starting as early as 2004-2005 is described. According to the report, 20% of Pakistans mineral and energy resources reside in the sparsely populated province. On page 4 of the report, the prospect of using the Baluchi rebels against both Islamabad and Tehran is proposed. In Seymour Hershs 2008 article, Preparing the Battlefield, US support of Baluchi groups operating against Tehran is reported as already ongoing. As already mentioned, in Brookings Institutions Which Path to Persia? the subject of arming and sending Baluchi insurgents against Tehran is also discussed in great depth. The 2006 Carnegie Endowment for International Peace report makes special note of the fact that above all, the Baluchistan province serves as a transit zone for a potential Iranian-India-Turkmenistan natural gas pipeline as well as a port, Gwadar, that serves as a logistical hub for Afghanistan, Central Asias landlocked nations as well as a port for the Chinese. The report notes that the port was primarily constructed with Chinese capital and labor with the intention of it serving as a Chinese naval station to protect Beijings oil supply from the Middle East and to counter the US presence in Central Asia. This point in particular, regarding China, was described in extricating detail in the 2006 Strategic Studies Institutes report String of Pearls: Meeting the Challenge of Chinas Rising Power across the Asian Littoral. Throughout the report means to co-opt and contain Chinas influence throughout the region are discussed. More recently, longtime proponent of a Baluchi insurgency in Pakistan, Selig Harrison of the corporate-funded Center for International Policy, has published two pieces regarding the liberation of Baluchistan itself. Harrisons February 2011 piece, Free Baluchistan, calls to aid the 6 million Baluch insurgents fighting for independence from Pakistan in the face of growing ISI repression. He continues by explaining the various merits of such meddling by stating: Harrison would follow up his frank call to carve up Pakistan by addressing the issue of Chinese-Pakistani relations in a March 2011 piece titled, The Chinese Cozy Up to the Pakistanis. He begins by stating, He then reiterates his call for extraterritorial meddling in Pakistan by saying: Clearly, US geopolitical policy makers have put much time and effort into the destabilization of Pakistan, using NATOs presence in neighboring Afghanistan as a means of executing it. With Chinas containment becoming an increasing obsession among US policy makers, understanding how Pakistans destabilization plays a role in such containment is essential in assessing how far the US is willing to go in South Asia. With NATO troops slated to begin permanently pulling out of Afghanistan, Galls attempt to dust off a narrative that will give those NATO troops a new mandate to linger on in the region may be a tentative first step in attempting to sell a confrontation with Pakistan to Western audiences. There is also the possibility that Gall is simply using recycled news from 2011 onward to sell her book capitalizing on a geopolitical campaign that has long since unraveled for a West increasingly showing signs of irreversible and accelerating decline. However, it is essential to understand where Galls narrative is being drawn from, the deception it constitutes, and the purpose for that deception within the context of the Wests plans against both Pakistan and on a larger scale, for the encirclement and containment of China. Understanding such deceptions inoculates the Western public against another costly and protracted conflict that will benefit neither themselves nor the Pakistani people.

'I was sitting in a local sub shop, enjoying a devastatingly witty Saul Bellow piece in the latest Granta, when I distinctly heard three philistines at the next table mocking my choice of reading material,' said University of North Carolina graduate student Ira Green.

3	How the US Can Stop ISIS Without Setting Foot in SyriaBy Tony Cartalucci It was in Germanys international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW)s report, IS supply channels through Turkey, that hundreds of trucks destined for ISIS held territory were videotaped waiting at Oncupinar, Turkey to cross over into Syria with apparently no oversight by the Turkish government. Later, TIME magazine would admit ISIS dependence on the Syrian town of Tal Abyad, just across the border from Turkey, for supplies and the significance of its loss to Kurdish fighters in sustaining their fighting capacity both at the border and beyond. APs June 2015 report, Kurds move to cut off ISIS supply lines in Syria, would state: Syrian Kurdish fighters closed in on the outskirts of a strategic Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-held town on the Turkish border Sunday, Kurdish officials and an activist group said, potentially cutting off a key supply line for the extremists nearby de facto capital. Taking Tal Abyad, some 50 miles from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) stronghold of Raqqa, would mean the group wouldnt have a direct route to bring in new foreign militants or supplies. The Kurdish advance, coming under the cover of intense U.S.-led coalition airstrikes in the area, also would link their two fronts and put even more pressure on Raqqa as Iraqi forces struggle to contain the group in their country. And while US airstrikes are credited for Kurdish advances against ISIS, one wonders why the US, whose military including a US airbase at Incirlik, Turkey and US special forces as well as the CIA are operating along and across the Syrian border in Turkey hasnt done more to interdict ISIS supply lines before they reach Syria and awaiting terrorists. The Kurds and Syrias military both realize the importance of stemming terrorist armies within Syria by cutting them off from their supplies at Syrias borders. However, both the Kurds and Syrian forces are increasingly limited from securing these borders due to an ever-expanding safe haven the US and its regional allies are carving out of Syrian territory. Turkey and Israel have both attacked Syrian forces in these safe havens creating a virtual sanctuary for Al Qaeda affiliates including Al Nusra and ISIS. Efforts to assist the Kurds appear only to have been a pretext to violate Syrian airspace first, then Syrian territory on the ground second. Americas meager Division 30 of less than 60 fighters trained in Turkey then sent to fight the thousands upon thousands of terrorists the US and its allies have been arming, training, and sending over Syrias borders for years was yet another attempt to make ISIS and Al Nusras gains appear a result of Western folly rather than of Western design. An old military maxim states: an army marches on its stomach. Logic dictates that an army with empty stomachs is unable to march. Napoleon Bonaparte who is credited with this quote, found out first hand just how true these words were when his army found itself deep within Russia without supplies, leading to its ultimate and catastrophic defeat. Likewise, ISIS fighting capacity depends entirely on its supply lines. Cutting these supply lines will lead to its inevitable defeat. For the United States, who is either allied with or has troops operating in all nations bordering Syria, cutting ISIS supply lines would be a simple matter that is if the United States was truly interested in defeating ISIS and other Al Qaeda affiliates. While the United States has assisted Turkey in erecting missile defenses along its border with Syria in order to create a defacto no-fly-zone providing Al Nusra and ISIS with an invaluable sanctuary, little to no effort has been spent in increasing border security specifically the searching for and interdiction of terrorist fighters, weapons, and other supplies. As German DWs report illustrated, it appears Turkeys borders are not only dangerously wide open, but intentionally so, with little or no effort at all by Turkey to stem the torrent of obvious ISIS supply convoys from passing through. DW would likely videotape a similar situation unfolding in Jordan near its border with Syria, close to Syrian cities like Daraa which have become battle-torn as Syrian forces desperately try to stem the torrent of fighters and weapons flowing over the borders there, aimed ultimately at Damascus. By cutting off ISIS from its money, supplies, additional fighters, weapons, and essential equipment, it would quickly be overwhelmed by Syrian and Iraqi forces. Without cash to pay fighters, and without new fighters to replace those lost in fighting, morale would quickly falter. Without a constant torrent of weapons, ammunition, and fuel, ISIS and other Al Qaeda affiliates would quickly lose their tactical capabilities. Fighters unable to flee would be encircled and destroyed as has happened deep within Syrias interior where Syrian forces have been able to cut supply lines to key cities and starve out terrorist armies. Syria is intentionally prevented from securing its borders through an increasingly overt buffer zone or safe haven the US and its regional allies are creating for the purpose of sheltering clearly non-existent moderate rebels. What these safe havens are in actuality doing, is ensuring ISIS supply lines remain intact. With the Kurds the only effective force near the Turkish-Syrian border able to threaten ISIS supply lines now being attacked by Turkish forces directly, what little obstacles supplies had in reaching ISIS through Turkey is being swiftly negated. The US and its allies could easily increase security along Syrias borders and permanently cut ISIS and other Al Qaeda affiliates supply lines without having to enter Syrian airspace or cross onto Syrian soil. Just as easily as the US built a line of missile defenses facing Syria, it could create border checkpoints and patrols within Turkey to interdict and effectively stem all weapons and fighters flowing to ISIS. It could, but it intentionally doesnt. The implications are obvious. ISIS is both a creation and intentional perpetuation of US foreign policy. Just as the US so many years ago colluded with Saudi Arabia in the creation of Al Qaeda in the mountains of Afghanistan in the first place, it to this day colludes with its regional allies to use Al Qaeda and its various rebrandings including ISIS to fight wars Western troops cannot fight. This includes dividing and destroying Syria the overtly stated, true objective of US policymakers. Could Syria and its allies create their own buffer zone in northern Syria? Could international troops be brought in, with the inclusion of UN observers to secure the Syrian border and put in check attempts by both Turkey and the US to engage Syrian and Kurdish fighters attempting to restore order there? The incremental strategy of carving out northern Syria, claiming to shelter moderate rebels while in reality securing further ISIS supply lines and providing them an increasingly unassailable safe haven from which to launch operations deeper into Syria, is inching along and will inevitably pay off at the expense of Syrian territorial integrity, stability, and perhaps even its existence as a functioning state if no measures are taken to counter this conspiracy. The basics of logistics and the simple fact that the US can both fight and defeat ISIS by simply securing Turkey and Jordans borders must be repeatedly brought up by non-Western media and diplomatic circles highlighting the fact that Syrias conflict is one of foreign invasion, not civil war. The conflict can be brought to an end, along with all the horrors associated with it, by simply checking ISIS bags at the Turkish border. If the US and Turkey refuse to do this, someone must check them on the other side, someone the US and Turks may hesitate to attack as they have the Syrians and Kurds.

1	Slowly inching his segmented exoskeleton across the sea floor, a local marine arthropod, class Trilobita, reported that Earth's natural evolution was 'progressing quite nicely.' 'Things are looking mighty fine,' announced the prehistoric invertebrate, taking measure of his surroundings through a series of small, hexagonal eyelets located at the tip of his thorax. 'Sulfurous gas seems to be bubbling up to the surface pretty good, and several single-cell organisms appear to be mutating at a rather steady pace. Also, just today, I developed the ability to roll into a small protective shell in order to avoid predators.' Added the trilobite, 'Yup, this evolution thing is going great.' According to the 4-inch-wide arthropod, the entire planetonce nothing more than a large, tedious mass of molten rockhas really taken shape recently. Clearing a swath of nourishing algae from his glabella, the excited prehistoric organism went on to report that a number of interesting changes had occurred, including the sprouting of several new microbial communities, and the development of a process known only as photosynthesis, which the trilobite called 'hard to explain, but really, really cool.' In addition, the trilobite said, the shifting of tectonic plates, and with them, the birth of new mountain ranges, river valleys, and coastlines, seemed to be coming along great. 'It's a wonderful time to be alive,' said the tri-lobed creature, its protruding feelers and antennules twitching spasmodically with anticipation. 'To be born during this, the Cambrian Explosionwhy, I couldn't imagine a better period, really. It's all happening right now! I mean, if things keep going the way they're going, what with evolution taking off and everything, pretty soon we'll have huge, towering reptiles roaming across the earth.' 'Can you imagine it? Reptiles!' the trilobite added. 'I'm not even sure what those are!' The trilobite then settled down in his murky lagoon, where for the third straight night he would rest soundly while thoughts of someday becoming a brine shrimp, or perhaps even a crustaceaneach of which, he knew, would be just a small part of the beautiful upward arc of life, forever changing, forever moving toward balance and harmonydanced in his tiny, insignificant head. 
1	Expressing their growing concern after being inundated with grievances throughout the past week, officials from the NFL Players Association confirmed Monday that they have received multiple complaints from free agents being harassed by the Cleveland Browns front office. Weve unfortunately heard from a host of free agents around the league who have been forced to deal with continuous unwanted and, frankly, pretty aggressive overtures from Browns front office executives and coaches, said NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith, adding that allegations against the Browns organization include calling potential free agent signings at all times of night, leaving long, rambling messages on their voicemails, and mailing them numerous Browns jerseys already stitched with their name and number. Several players have independently complained that Browns officials are constantly sending them text messages offering to fly them out to Cleveland and treat them to expensive dinners and a few nights on the town. They evidently just wont take no for an answer. At press time, Smith had received a phone call from a distressed free agent claiming that Browns general manager Ray Farmer has been standing on his doorstep holding a contract offer for the past four hours and has refused to leave. 
3	Stone Cold Proof That Govt Economic Numbers Are Being Highly ManipulatedMichael Snyder But first, lets talk about the revised GDP number for the first quarter of 2014 that was just released. Initially, they told us that the U.S. economy only shrank by 0.1 percent in Q1. Then that was revised down to a 1.0 percent contraction, and now we are being informed that the economy actually contracted by a whopping 2.9 percent during the first quarter. So what are we actually supposed to believe? Sometimes I almost get the feeling that government bureaucrats are just throwing darts at a dartboard in order to get these numbers. Of course that is not actually true, but how do we know that we can actually trust the numbers that they give to us? Over at shadowstats.com, John Williams publishes alternative economic statistics that he believes are much more realistic than the government numbers. According to his figures, the U.S. economy has actually been continually contracting since 2005. That would mean that we have been in a recession for the last nine years. Could it be possible that he is right and the bureaucrats in Washington D.C. are wrong? Before you answer that question, read the rest of this article. It just might change your thinking a bit. Another number that many have accused of being highly manipulated is the inflation rate. But we dont have to sit around and wonder if that figure is being manipulated. The truth is that even those that work inside the Federal Reserve admit that it is being manipulated. Right now, the Federal Reserve tells us that the inflation rate is sitting at about 2 percent. But according to John Williams, if the inflation rate was calculated the same way that it was in 1990 it would be nearly 6 percent. And if the inflation rate was calculated the same way that it was in 1980 it would be nearly 10 percent. So which number are we supposed to believe? The one that makes us feel the best? And without a doubt, 2 percent inflation sounds a whole lot better than 10 percent inflation does. But anyone that does any grocery shopping knows that we are definitely not in a low inflation environment. For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled Inflation? Only If You Look At Food, Water, Gas, Electricity And Everything Else. Of course the unemployment rate is being manipulated as well. Just consider the following excerpt from a recentNew York Post article The Federal Reserve would have us believe that the unemployment rate in the U.S. has fallen from a peak of 10.0 percent during the recession all the way down to 6.3 percent now. But according to shadowstats.com, the broadest measure of unemployment is well over 20 percent and has kept rising since the end of the last recession. And according to the Federal Reserves own numbers, the percentage of working age Americans with a job has barely increased over the past four years But that is not the story that the government bureaucrats are selling to us. So where does the truth lie? What numbers are we actually supposed to believe?

3	US Destroying Syrias Oil Infrastructure Under Guise of Fighting ISISMaram Susli The Independent quotes Julieta Valls Noyes, the deputy assistant secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs during a visit to London, that ISIS was making $2 million a day off oil sales and that the US would consider airstrikes as well as kinetic strikes against some pipelines and actual physical action to stop the flow. The trouble with this justification for destroying Syrias oil pipelines, is that ISIS does not have the capability to use the pipelines to transfer oil. ISIS transports the stolen oil on the back of trucks, and sells it on the black market in Turkey. This is admitted in the same Independent article that quoted Ms. Noyes. The Independent claims: Isis has sold some of the fuel from seized facilities back to the Damascus regime through local deals, while shipments had been sent into Turkey for the black market, with the Erdogan government accused of turning a blind eye to the illicit transactions. If the US truly intended to stop ISIS oil profits, they would bomb these oil convoys, which are easily spotted via conventional surveillance flights already allegedly taking place as part of ongoing Western operations. The US agenda behind destroying Syrias pipelines has very little to do with ISIS oil profits, and far more to do with destroying Syrias oil infrastructure. In fact, the statistic that ISIS is making 2 million dollars a day from the sale of crude oil is an estimate from a single consulting company (IHS) based in Colorado in the United States. The US administration is choosing to quote this as if it were without a shred of doubt. Its far more likely that the scale of the profits has been overblown to deflect from the fact that ISIS is receiving funding from state actors such as Turkey, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states, while at the same time providing an excuse to target Syrian infrastructure. Earlier last month the US-led airstrikes on Syria and Iraq supposedly destroyed small oil refineries in Raqqa. No effort was made to prove whether or not ISIS was in fact capable of using Syrias oil refineries. In fact the same consulting company which the US administration is quoting about ISIS oil profits (IHS), states that ISIS is selling unrefined crude oil. The IHS adds the caveat that this estimate was made before US airstrikes eluding to the notion that US airstrikes have had an effect on ISIS oil profits. However, the Britain based pro-insurgency Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which was the West establishment-run medias most reliable source years into the Syrian crisis, said that the oil refineries were not real targets and were not being used by ISIS. Reuters would report: These so-called refineries are not a real target and they do not weaken the Islamic State as they do not have any financial value for them, Rami Abdel Rahman of the Observatory told Reuters. They are composed of trucks with equipment to separate diesel and petrol used by civilians. Syrias two main oil refineries are known to be in Homs and Banyas, not anywhere near Raqqa. The US Declaration that they are destroying ISIS makeshift refineries, is all smoke and mirrors, and will probably be used as a justification to destroy more of Syrias infrastructure in future. The destruction of Syrias oil infrastructure would also open the door for US and UK oil companies to win contracts to rebuild it, paid for in debt, by the Syrian state. Foreign companies running Syrias oil and gas production would prevent Syria from nationalizing their own resources and becoming an independent prosperous country. This would result in the basic enslavement of the country while mitigating the threat it poses to US client states including Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Pipe Dreams The Guardian claims: In 2009 Assad refused to sign a proposed agreement with Qatar that would run a pipeline from the latters North field, contiguous with Irans South Pars field, through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and on to Turkey, with a view to supply European markets albeit crucially bypassing Russia. Assads rationale was to protect the interests of [his] Russian ally, which is Europes top supplier of natural gas. Instead, the following year, Assad pursued negotiations for an alternative $10 billion pipeline plan with Iran, across Iraq to Syria, that would also potentially allow Iran to supply gas to Europe from its South Pars field shared with Qatar. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the project was signed in July 2012 just as Syrias civil war was spreading to Damascus and Aleppo and earlier this year Iraq signed a framework agreement for construction of the gas pipelines. The Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline plan was a direct slap in the face to Qatars plans. The planned Iran-Iraq-Syria Pipeline running through Syrias coast and into the Mediterranean along which Russia has a presence, would allow Russian control over the tap and flow of Irans gas, mitigating rivalry between the countries. Qatars interest in funding the insurrection, was to overthrow Syria and install a pliable opposition that would sign Qatars pipeline agreement. Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Jordan also had a vested interest in this plan. This suited the US objective of undercutting and weakening Russian influence over Europe. However they also have an alternative plan for doing so. The planned Nabbaco Pipeline, running from Iran to Turkey to Europe, would directly set Iranian gas against Russian gas. Furthermore, in the absence of the successful overthrow of the Syrian government, the US has settled for destroying what it cannot control. Perpetual war and the destruction of pipelines would prevent or at least delay any possible pipeline agreement in future. With mainstream media headlines like US bombing ISIS pipelines its easy to forget that the pipelines and refineries the US is planning to bomb do not belong to ISIS, but to the Syrian people.

Chuck Grassley (R-IA) have severely, and perhaps irrevocably, damaged the ability of his fellow Republican congressmen to pick up women at the various bars and nightclubs they frequent in the D.C. area. 'Historically, Republicans have faced little opposition from willing and easily impressed single females, but Sen. Grassley's untoward behavior poses a significant threat to the status quo,' Republican strategist Stanley Schilling said.

His fans are known for yelling, chanting, and cheering. And yes, fainting. At a rally in Florida on Saturday, Trump noticed a woman who fainted and nearly took a dive to the floor during his speech. He was telling the crowd at the CFE Arena in Orlando about one of his former rivals, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie when the incident took place. We need a doctor, he commented. We need a doctor a woman fainted. A woman fainted. We love people who faint. And I think its only a faint. Are you OK, darling? OK. Take your time. Take your time. He then went by and patiently stood by while the woman received first aid. Shes been here for seven hours, Trump commented. I love you, darling. He then went on to send the woman who fainted off with flowers. The media can call Donald Trump whatever he wanted, but there are many real-life accounts of him going above and beyond to make someones day and show that they are appreciate. He may not be quiet or politically correct, but he is also not the one-sided super villain the liberal media portrays him to be. 
2	Trump Humiliates Obama, Shows What A Real President Would Do For Family Of Killed Texas Officer Throughout his campaign, Donald Trump showed his immense support for our nations law enforcement and their families. Now, new reports are showing what a good heart Trump truly has, despite the media trying to paint him as a villain. The President-elect reportedly made a phone call to the family of slain San Antonio police officer Benjamin Marconi this week, after he was murdered Sunday morning during a routine traffic stop. According to The Daily Wire, Marconis son, Dane, posted an updated on Facebook about the call. Just got off the phone with future president Trump, he sends his condolences to our family, Dane wrote. Trumps team has not yet commented on the personal phone call. We do know, however, that this isnt the first call of this nature Trump has made. Shortly after the election, Trump called the widow of murdered NYPD Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo to offer his deepest condolences. Im very sorry I cannot be there with you today, Trump commented. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. In stark contrast, President Barack Obama has remained remarkably silent. At almost every opportunity he had, Obama used these tragedies to send a political message and reprimand officers throughout the country. What do you think? Will Trump be a great president for our nations law enforcement? 
2	BREAKING: Sheriff Clarke: EVERYTHING OBAMA TOUCHES TURNS TO CRAP [VIDEO] Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke did not hold back when he appeared of Fox News Justice with Jeanine this past weekend to discuss the Chattanooga shooting. According to Clarke, the United States desperately needs to deal with the home-grown terrorist threat. Clarke went on to explain that President Obama gutted the Department of Defense 1033 Program, designed to provide law enforcement with the military supplies they need to fight off a terrorist attack. Ive never seen a president like this, that everything he touches tends to turn to crap, Clarke continued. So, there are some things that we can do. Im not going to sit on my hands and watch my community take on casualties from these homegrown terrorists, but we need a national strategy. Watch Clarkes full comments below and tell us what you think.

Kent Lowery (1977-2003) 'I just can't believe how much stuff Kent collected over the years,' said Lowery Tuesday. 'There's a poster for some movie called Urgh!, stacks of empty Quisp cereal boxes, at least five old lamps that don't work, and a slew of little plastic toys. Obviously, all these things meant something to Kent but what? And why?' A part-time English tutor and bassist for the local band Extra Moist, Kent died in a car accident Sept. 27. Overwhelmed with grief, his family members in nearby Bedford only mustered the strength to visit his apartment last week, where they were overwhelmed once again, this time by Kent's dense accumulation of miscellany. Assisted by her husband Thomas and her daughter Regina Panziel, Lowery set to the task of packing up the contents of her son's crowded one-bedroom apartment. 'Of course, we'll take some of Kent's things home with us, to remember him by,' Lowery said. 'But we agreed, as a family, that it's not a good idea to just pack everything up and keep it. Not that we'd have enough room for five boxes of video tapes and three wooden birdcages anyway.' Lowery and Panziel among Kent's belongings. Although they were aware that their son had 'unusual tastes,' the Lowerys said they were surprised by the sheer volume of his collections. Lowery said the large number of items has made it difficult to decide which of her son's former possessions to choose as keepsakes. 'I'm so at a loss,' Lowery said. 'Which of these things best represents Kent? Should I choose the Pachinko machine to place on the mantle at home? Would Patricia [Eisner, Kent's favorite aunt] rather have this Two-Lane Blacktop DVD or this set of tiki lamps? What is a Pachinko machine?' The family has considered donating the items that will not be kept as reminders of Kent. 'I'd like to give his dishes to Goodwill or the local church, but I'm not sure they would want them,' Lowery said. 'None of his plates and cups match, and every single coffee mug is different. Here's a Zoloft mug, and here's one from White Castle hamburgers. This one says 'Hands Off Howard's Coffee.' I find it strange that he owned that, considering that he lived alone and never mentioned a friend named Howard.' Although Kent's parents lean toward donating his possessions, Kent's 30-year-old sister said she feels that the legacy of his eccentric, old, and cheaply made possessions should be preserved. 'Unfortunately, Kent didn't leave a will,' Panziel said. 'But it's obvious that he put a lot of time and effort into collecting these things. I think we should try to get them to someone who might appreciate them. Maybe there's someone out there who really wants a set of Hello Kitty pillows and an accordion with no straps.' Panziel said the family has been largely unable to determine which items might be of value to anyone other than Kent. 'See these records?' said Panziel, pointing to a pile of Herb Alpert LPs. 'I don't think Grandma even listens to this stuff anymore, but I know that old vinyl can be valuable. If some of these records are worth something, I'm sure Kent would want us to think carefully about where they end up. But is this copy of 'The Super Bowl Shuffle' worth keeping? How about this Amazing Kreskin record? I don't know how to tell.' Lowery in the process of packing 'some sort of mask or something.' The Lowerys said the logistics of selling all of the items, either to raise money for charity or to cover the funeral expenses, are daunting. 'We've been going through his things for days,' Lowery said. 'Just think how long it would take to try and sell it all. We thought about having an estate sale, but I don't think a collection of Dallas and Mod Squad lunch boxes is the sort of thing anyone would buy. But then again, what do I know? I never would've guessed that Kent used a lunch box, either.' The Lowerys have asked friends who collect antiques for guidance. 'We called our friend Jack Puller, but he didn't know what to say,' Lowery said. 'He said there's a market for antique toys and old dishware, but he didn't know the value of any of the specific things I named. He didn't have any advice at all on the plastic cookie jar shaped like a dog that barks when you open its head. And he just coughed when I asked him about the phone shaped like a football.' As of press time, the family is considering putting Kent's belongings in storage while they do some research. 'I'm hoping someone out there can tell us more about what these things are, and what we should do with them,' Thomas Lowery said. 'We're just too sad and confused to make the decision right now. One thing's for sure: The furniture is going to the curb. To look at it, you'd think that's where Kent, God rest his soul, got it in the first place.' 
2	WWII Vet Wept After THIS Was Found In A Thrift Store 70 Years Later... [VIDEO] While 90-year-old Bill Moore was serving in Europe during WWII, he wrote many letters to his family. Now, almost 70 years later, hes come back into contact with one of them after a woman found it in a record sleeve at a thrift store in Colorado. When Moore read the letter for the first time, he wept. It was a letter to Bernadean Gibson, before she became his wife of 63 years and the mother to three of his children. I was really surprised, he told reporters. I had no way of knowing it would show up in the way it did, and it would actually reach me. My darling, lovable, alluring Bernadean, the letter from 1945 reads. I ran out of space, but I could have written a lot more adjectives describing you. You are so lovely, darling, that I often wonder how it is possible that you are mine. Im really the luckiest guy in the world, you know. And you are the reason. The letter was an emotional read for Moore, who lost his wife in 2010. Watch more on the touching story below. 
2	Carrie Is Not One To Be Jealous, But What Her Husband Just Did Forced Her To Go On A Shocking Rant Carrie Underwood is not one to be jealous, but what Mike just did has her fuming (playfully). Carrie Underwood often records her husband singing songs. She makes fun of him because he does not the lyrics to most songs that he sings. Carrie finds it hilarious to see him fake singing along in his terrible voice. The last video she posted of Mike actually was one where he knew the words to a song. The video is hilarious, but also impressive. The song that he knew every word to was The River by Garth Brooks. I find it hilarious that he knew every word. Carrie posted the video to twitter, and Garth Brooks actually responded. He said that he wants to sing with Mike the next time he is Nashville. Carrie was excited, but also extremely jealous of her husband. Carrie quickly jumped on her husband and said that he cannot sing with Garth. Carrie has been a huge Garth fan her entire life. She says that she met him when she was 10-years-old. She said that she offered to be his duet partner at any time. Carrie has been waiting her entire life to sing with Garth, but then Garth offers to sing with her husband. Carrie was a little mad. She said there is no way that Mike will get to sing with Garth before she does. She will not let it happen! Do you think Carrie should do a duet with Garth? 
3	The Tunnel People That Live Under The Streets Of AmericaMichael Snyder In addition to the thousands of tunnel people living under the streets of America, there are also thousands that are living in tent cities, there are tens of thousands that are living in their vehicles and there are more than a million public school children that do not have a home to go back to at night. The federal government tells us that the recession is over and that things are getting better, and yet poverty and homelessness in this country continue to rise with no end in sight. So what in the world are things going to look like when the next economic crisis hits? When I heard that there were homeless people living in a network of underground tunnels beneath the streets of Kansas City, I was absolutely stunned. I have relatives that live in that area. I never thought of Kansas City as one of the more troubled cities in the United States. But according to the Daily Mail, police recently discovered a huge network of tunnels under the city that people had been living in Below the streets of Kansas City, there are deep underground tunnels where a group of vagrant homeless people lived in camps. These so-called homeless camps have now been uncovered by the Kansas City Police, who then evicted the residents because of the unsafe environment. Authorities said these people were living in squalor, with piles of garbage and dirty diapers left around wooded areas. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is happening all over the nation. In recent years, the tunnel people of Las Vegas have received quite a bit of publicity all over the world. It has been estimated thatmore than 1,000 people live in the massive network of flood tunnels under the city Deep beneath Vegass glittering lights lies a sinister labyrinth inhabited by poisonous spiders and a man nicknamed The Troll who wields an iron bar. But astonishingly, the 200 miles of flood tunnels are also home to 1,000 people who eke out a living in the strips dark underbelly. Some, like Steven and his girlfriend Kathryn, have furnished their home with considerable care their 400sq ft bungalow boasts a double bed, a wardrobe and even a bookshelf. Could you imagine living like that? Sadly, for an increasing number of Americans a normal lifestyle is no longer an option. Either they have to go to the homeless shelters or they have to try to eke out an existence on their own any way that they can. In New York City, authorities are constantly trying to root out the people that live in the tunnels under the city and yet they never seem to be able to find them all. The following is from a New York Post article about the Mole People that live underneath New York City The homeless people who live down here are called Mole People. They do not, as many believe, exist in a separate, organized underground society. Its more of a solitary existence and loose-knit community of secretive, hard-luck individuals. The New York Post followed one homeless man known as John Travolta on a tour through the underground world. What they discovered was a world that is very much different from what most New Yorkers experience In the tunnels, their world is one of malt liquor, tight spaces, schizophrenic neighbors, hunger and spells of heat and cold. Travolta and the others eat fairly well, living on a regimented schedule of restaurant leftovers, dumped each night at different times around the neighborhood above his foreboding home. Even as the Dow hits record high after record high, poverty in New York City continues to rise at a very frightening pace. Incredibly, the number of homeless people sleeping in the homeless shelters of New York City has increased by a whopping 19 percent over the past year. In many of our major cities, the homeless shelters are already at maximum capacity and are absolutely packed night after night. Large numbers of homeless people are often left to fend for themselves. That is one reason why we have seen the rise of so many tent cities. Yes, the tent cities are still there, they just arent getting as much attention these days because they do not fit in with the economic recovery narrative that the mainstream media is currently pushing. In fact, many of the tent cities are larger than ever. For example, you can check out a Reuters video about a growing tent city in New Jersey that was posted on YouTube at the end of March right here. A lot of these tent cities have now become permanent fixtures, and unfortunately they will probably become much larger when the next major economic crisis strikes. But perhaps the saddest part of all of this is the massive number of children that are suffering night after night. For the first time ever, more than a million public school children in the United States are homeless. That number has risen by 57 percent since the 2006-2007 school year. So if things are really getting better, then why in the world do we have more than a million public school children without homes? These days a lot of families that have lost their homes have ended up living in their vehicles. The following is an excerpt from a 60 Minutes interview with one family that is living in their truck This is the home of the Metzger family. Arielle,15. Her brother Austin, 13. Their mother died when they were very young. Their dad, Tom, is a carpenter. And, hes been looking for work ever since Floridas construction industry collapsed. When foreclosure took their house, he bought the truck on Craigslist with his last thousand dollars. Toms a little camera shy thought we ought to talk to the kids and it didnt take long to see why. Pelley: How long have you been living in this truck? Arielle Metzger: About five months. Pelley: Whats that like? Arielle Metzger: Its an adventure. Austin Metzger: Thats how we see it. Pelley: When kids at school ask you where you live, what do you tell em? Austin Metzger: When they see the truck they ask me if I live in it, and when I hesitate they kinda realize. And they say they wont tell anybody. Arielle Metzger: Yeah its not really that much an embarrassment. I mean, its only life. You do what you need to do, right? But after watching a news report or reading something on the Internet about these people we rapidly forget about them because they are not a part of our world. Another place where a lot of poor people end up is in prison. In a previous article, I detailed how the prison population in the United States has been booming in recent years. If you can believe it, the United States now has approximately 25 percent of the entire global prison population even though it only has about 5 percent of the total global population. And these days it is not just violent criminals that get thrown into prison. If you lose your job and get behind on your bills, you could be thrown into prison as well. The following is from a recent CBS News article Roughly a third of U.S. states today jail people for not paying off their debts, from court-related fines and fees to credit card and car loans, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. Such practices contravene a 1983 United States Supreme Court ruling that they violate the Constitutions Equal Protection Clause. Some states apply poverty penalties, such as late fees, payment plan fees and interest, when people are unable to pay all their debts at once. Alabama charges a 30 percent collection fee, for instance, while Florida allows private debt collectors to add a 40 percent surcharge on the original debt. Some Florida counties also use so-called collection courts, where debtors can be jailed but have no right to a public defender. In North Carolina, people are charged for using a public defender, so poor defendants who cant afford such costs may be forced to forgo legal counsel. The high rates of unemployment and government fiscal shortfalls that followed the housing crash have increased the use of debtors prisons, as states look for ways to replenish their coffers. Said Chettiar, Its like drawing blood from a stone. States are trying to increase their revenue on the backs of the poor. If you are poor, the United States can be an incredibly cold and cruel place. Mercy and compassion are in very short supply. The middle class continues to shrink and poverty continues to grow with each passing year. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately one out of every six Americans is now living in poverty. And if you throw in those that are considered to be near poverty, that number becomes much larger. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 146 million Americans are either poor or low income. For many more facts about the rapid increase of poverty in this country, please see my previous article entitled 21 Statistics About The Explosive Growth Of Poverty In America That Everyone Should Know. But even as poverty grows, it seems like the hearts of those that still do have money are getting colder. Just check out what happened recently at a grocery store that was in the process of closing down in Augusta, Georgia Residents filled the parking lot with bags and baskets hoping to get some of the baby food, canned goods, noodles and other non-perishables. But a local church never came to pick up the food, as the storeowner prior to the eviction said they had arranged. By the time the people showed up for the food, what was left inside the premisesas with any evictioncame into the ownership of the property holder, SunTrust Bank. The bank ordered the food to be loaded into dumpsters and hauled to a landfill instead of distributed. The people that gathered had to be restrained by police as they saw perfectly good food destroyed. Local Sheriff Richard Roundtree told the news a potential for a riot was extremely high. Can you imagine watching that happen? But of course handouts and charity are only temporary solutions. What the poor in this country really need are jobs, and unfortunately there has not been a jobs recovery in the United States since the recession ended. In fact, the employment crisis looks like it is starting to take another turn for the worse. The number of layoffs in the month of March was 30 percent higher than the same time a year ago. Meanwhile, small businesses are indicating that hiring is about to slow down significantly. According to a recent survey by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, small businesses in the United States are extremely pessimistic right now. The following is what Goldman Sachs had to say about this survey Components of the survey were consistent with the decline in headline optimism, as the net percent of respondents planning to hire fell to 0% (from +4%), those expecting higher sales fell to -4% (from +1%), and those reporting that it is a good time to expand ticked down to +4% (from +5%). The net percent of respondents expecting the economy to improve was unchanged at -28%, a very depressed level. However, on the positive side, +25% of respondents plan increased capital spending [ZH: With Alcoa CapEx spending at a 2 year low]. Small business owners continue to place poor sales, taxes, and red tape at the top of their list of business problems, as they have for the past several years. So why arent our politicians doing anything to fix this? For example, why in the world dont they stop millions of our jobs from being sent out of the country? Well, the truth is that they dont think we have a problem. In fact, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson recently said that U.S. trade deficits dont matter. He apparently does not seem alarmed that more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities have been shut down in the United States since 2001. And since the last election, the White House has seemed to have gone into permanent party mode. On Tuesday, another extravagant party will be held at the White House. It is being called In Performance at the White House: Memphis Soul, and it is going to include some of the biggest names in the music industry As the White House has previously announced, Justin Timberlake (who will be making his White House debut),Al Green, Ben Harper, Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper, Joshua Ledet, Sam Moore, Charlie Musselwhite, Mavis Staples, and others will be performing at the exclusive event. And so who will be paying for all of this? You and I will be. Even as the Obamas cry about all of the other spending cuts that are happening, they continue to blow millions of taxpayer dollars on wildly extravagant parties and vacations. Overall, U.S. taxpayers will spend well over a billion dollars on the Obamas this year. I wonder what the tunnel people that live under the streets of America think about that.

1	A report released Monday by NYU's Center For Media Studies has found that television, accused by experts of diminishing children's attention spans and discouraging them from interacting with others, can actually help children as young as six months develop essential looking skills. Children sharpen their looking skills with a 27-inch Sony Trinitron. 'In a study of over 5,000 children nationwide,' the report read, 'those who watched cartoons for three hours had vastly increased looking capacities when tested the next day, compared to children who were encouraged to play sports and board games with other children for the same three-hour period. Staring and gazing skills were also markedly higher.' Data gathered in the study also indicated that visual-reception skills acquired at an early age tend to become lifelong assets. 'Extensive testing of adults who grew up in homes without television showed that such adults had difficulty staring blankly at things for longer than a few seconds,' Center For Media Studies director Dr. Edward DeGaetano said. 'They frequently shifted their gaze and focus around the testing environment, often engaging others in the room in conversation and generally making a lot of disruptive noise and movement. Television-enriched adults, however, could sit and look at anything: a spot on the ceiling, a fire-alarm box, a stack of magazines on a table.' 'And even when the non-television-enriched adults could manage to look at a magazine,' DeGaetano said, 'rather than deep-focus on the cover, they would open it and start restlessly looking at words and turning the pages.' The NYU study is seen as a major victory for television advocates. Report: TV Helps Build Valuable Looking Skills 'Fifty years ago, U.S. children were ranked almost dead-last worldwide in looking skills,' said child-development expert Dr. Sandy Wexler. 'The past five decades have witnessed remarkable progress in that area, so much so that U.S. children now lead the world. Students in supposedly progressive nations like Sweden and France score far lower than Americans in standardized looking tests.' Wexler pointed to TV as the primary reason for the improvement, along with increased media attention, including the best-selling 1977 book Why Johnny Can't Look and NBC's early-'80s 'How To Watch Television' public-service announcements. 'These 30-second spots starring zany comedian Lenny Schultz left no ambiguity in the minds of children who viewed them about how to properly watch television,' Wexler said. President Clinton praised the nation's children for their looking prowess at a press conference Tuesday. He also announced the launch of a $1 billion 'Looking Good, America!' initiative designed to provide impoverished children with badly needed televisions. 'Far too many of our economically disadvantaged young people,' Clinton said, 'have nothing better than outdated black-and-white sets, dating back to the '80s or even '70s, to look at.' The president concluded with the sad tale of Beckley, WV, 10-year-old Nicholas Mullins, who, according to Clinton, gets all of his television from 'a 1982 black-and-white Zenith TV with a 13-inch screen, an antenna fashioned from a coathanger and aluminum foil, and an unpredictable vertical hold.' 'Child-development statistics tell us that Nicholas will probably do no better than graduate from high school looking at a third-grade level,' Clinton said. 'If we cannot give Nicholas a better chance in life, then we as a nation have failed him.' 
2	Dying Boys Ridiculous Final Wish Comes True... And Its Thanks To MILLIONS Of Strangers 8-year-old Dorian has been struggling with rhabdomyosarcoma, a form of pediatric cancer, since he was 4. Him and his family have been through hard times, and even worse when they were told that his cancer was terminal. They decided to take Dorian off treatment and bring him home. When they got home, Dorian said he had one wish before he went up to heaven. Hey Dad, you know what I really want before I go to heaven? little Dorian asked. I would like to be famous in China. His parents began sharing his story on Facebook. They used the hashtag #DStrong to spread the word. Dorians post went absolutely viral, and has been shared 100,000s of times. People from around the world started taking pictures of themselves holding signs saying #DStrong. Maybe the most incredible message was by this group of people below. Help make Dorians dream come true. Share this post to spread the word. Equally importantly, send your prayers. He needs them now more than ever. 
3	Did You Hear? Texas Plans to Fingerprint EVERYONE within the Next 12 YearsDaisy Luther Theyve launched a plan to fingerprint every single person of driving age in the state, after which they will add the persons prints to the criminal database. Is it just me or is that a rather Dystopian plan? Jon Cassidy of Watchdog.org writes: As an old-school columnist, Lieber tends to keep his opinions subdued, and he doesnt generally call people dishonest. But I have no problem with doing that, so Id like to point out that the DPS spokesman he quotes at length is less than straightforward about his departments legal authority. Last month, Lieberbroke the newsthat DPS had started collecting full sets of fingerprints on everyone who went in to renew their license. Friday, he followed up witha storyon DPS dubious legal authority to do so, and then postedlengthy quotationson the issue to his blog. Lieber quotes an entireemailfrom DPS spokesman Tom Vinger, who quotes Transportation Code Sec. 521.059 at length, including the key phrase, The departmentshallestablish an image verification system based on the following identifiers collected by the department: .an applicants thumbprints or fingerprints. (source) So the gist of this is: if you dont allow the authorities to take your prints and file them away in the event that you commit some heinous crime in the future, you wont be issued a drivers license in the state of Texas. This means youd theoretically be unable to drive or get insurance, because youd be unlicensed. If you cant get insurance, it will be difficult to own a car. This, of course, could affect your livelihood, your ability to get your kids to school, and myriad other day-to-day issues. Im a big fan of opting out, but this makes it a lot more difficult for the average Joe or Josephine to do so. Doesnt this sound like a pre-crime system, gathering evidence for the potential day in the future when they wish to use a persons cataloged prints to identify them? At the very least, it is an invasion of personal privacy that is being enforced by hindering ones ability to travel freely. According to the laws on the books, its legal to take ONE print, but not a set of ten. I bet a lot of Texans will have one particular fingerprint theyll be happy to give the middle one.

3	Economic Elite Announce Plan to Replace Human Labor with MachinesBy Nicholas West As Howard states in the video below, we have hit a critical threshold where machine intelligence is performing better than even the leading experts in the fields of medicine, science, and banking among others. This has vast ramifications, as this crossover coincides also with the replacement of skilled and non-skilled human labor with robots. Between the two events, people from all economic classes are being threatened with replacement in an unprecedented way. It is being called technological unemployment a type of permanent unemployment that greatly exacerbates our current recession/depression, because the lost jobs most likely will never return. Howard asserts that we are about to encounter conditions akin to those that occurred after the Industrial Revolution replaced manufacturing and agricultural workers to a vast degree. That event, in fact, gave rise to the term technological unemployment. Much maligned economist, John Maynard Keynes, was the first to issue dire predictions of a type of extinction level event for unemployment, which we now clearly know never fully took place. However, the new type of automation poses a far greater threat, according to many researchers such as Jeremy Howard. The main reason is simple: this time it is all-encompassing; in other words, everyone can be replaced permanently. This has led to predictions such as those made by Professor of Computer Science, Moshe Vardi, when he stated that all human work will be fully outsourced to robots and robotic machine intelligence by 2045. But we need to keep in mind that this is not some sort of overnight switch that gets thrown; it is happening right now, as technology is already killing middle class jobs. In the video below, Jeremy Howard gives very precise, concrete examples that show just how far machine intelligence has advanced, and the threat that it poses for human productivity and employment. Particularly interesting is his reference to a map showing which countries are service-based economies, juxtaposed with the fact that America has become 65% based on information technology and processing. Both sets are the jobs slated for direct replacement by machine systems that are in some cases already more efficient, lower cost and more accurate than any human. And, unlike humans, machine learning is exponentially increasing its intelligence on a yearly basis. This situation creates a scenario as bad as or potentially much worse than the Industrial Revolution, when after the shift 80% of workers were worse off socio-economically. Howards final graphic is a stunning one that shows a 15-year flat-line, and now downward slide of human value vs. overall productivity. This can only mean one thing: we are already being outsourced, and the pace is accelerating. Dire predictions aside, there are ways to position oneself for the coming transformation without merging with machines, as Transhumanists suggest, or turning over the running of society to a centralized hive system of political and economic management as Zeitgeist proponents endorse. For a look at the areas where one can still thrive, please view this essential documentary. Its long, but the path for the unprepared will be far longer.

1	After successfully delivering the newborn baby of Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and his girlfriend Ashley Moss Thursday morning, Northwest Hospital and Medical Center nurse Karen Greco expressed her frustration at having to constantly take shit from the Seahawks defender throughout the entire birthing process. As soon as Mr. Sherman showed up to the hospital with his girlfriend, he started shouting about how he was the best in the game and how I wasnt nothing compared to him, Greco said, noting how difficult it was to guide Moss through her contractions and apply an epidural anesthetic with the defensive back loudly criticizing the hospital for sending such a second-rate, bush-league maternity nurse to deliver his son. I was trying to concentrate once his girlfriend started crowning, but he was right up in my face and screaming at me the whole time. Its like, Jesus, just shut up and let me do my job, okay? According to sources, Greco and the rest of the maternity ward staff ultimately lost their patience with Sherman when he used his superior size and reach to get in front of the attending obstetrician and snatch his newborn child from his girlfriends birth canal.

1	Knowing neither where the man came from, what his story is, or what, if anything, he hoped to accomplish, Greenfield High School students in Mrs. Edwards fourth period English class confirmed Tuesday that their new male, ponytailed substitute teacher has been heretofore cloaked in a veil of mystery too deep to penetrate. He doesnt look like our usual subs and hes, like, 30 or something, sophomore Peter Tate said of the enigmatic man in a dress shirt and jeans whose hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail and who told students they should feel free to address him as Tyler. We didnt really do any work. He told us he wanted todays lesson to be more of a conversation, whatever that means. It wasnt really clear what else is going on with his life, but he cant just be some weirdo because then why would the school let him teach kids? At press time, the substitute teachers legend had only grown as students spotted the inscrutable figure pulling out of the schools parking lot at lunch on a 1996 Kawasaki Ninja. 
3	15 Signs That We Live During A Time Of Rampant Government ParanoiaMichael Snyder Today, every single one of us is viewed as a potential threat by the government. As a result, the government feels the need to intercept our emails, record our phone calls and track our expenditures. But they arent just spying on individuals. The government keeps tabs on thousands of organizations all over the planet, it spies on our enemies and our allies, and it even spies on itself. The American people are told that the emerging Big Brother police state is for our safety, but the truth is that it isnt there to protect us. It is there to protect them. Our government has become kind of like a crazy rich uncle that is constantly spying on everyone else in the family because he believes that they are out to get him. The following are 15 signs that we live during a time of rampant government paranoia #1 Former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson says that the federal government was so concerned about her reporting on Benghazi, Fast and Furious and other Obama scandals that they hacked her computer, monitored every keystroke and even planted classified material in an apparent attempt to potentially frame her. #2 The United States has become the nation of the permanent emergency. In fact, there has been at least one state of emergency in effect in this country since 1979. #3 In America today, almost everyone is considered to be a criminal. At this point, nearly one out of every three Americans has a file in the FBIs master criminal database. #4 Most people dont realize this, but the FBI also systematically records talk radio programs. The FBI says that it is looking for potential evidence. #5 In Wisconsin, 24 armed police officers are an armored military vehicle were recently sent to collect a civil judgment from a 75-year-old retiree. It is being reported that officials feared that he might be argumentative. #6 According to guidelines that were recently made public, purchasing Amtrak train tickets with cash is considered to be suspicious activity and needs to be reported to the authorities. #7 The IRS can now seize your bank accounts on suspicion alone. If you are successful fighting the IRS in court, you might get your money back years later. #8 Thousands of Americans have their mail spied on by the U.S. Postal Service. If you are on the list, all of your mail and packages are shown to a supervisor before they are delivered to you. #9 Most people dont realize that the U.S. border is now considered to be a Constitution-free zone where officials can freely grab your computer and copy your hard drive. #10 The feds have apparently become extremely concerned about what all of us are saying on the Internet. In fact, they have even been caughtmanipulating discussions on Reddit and editing Wikipedia. #11 The U.S. government has become so paranoid that it even spies on our European allies. Needless to say, our allies over in Europe are quite upset about this but we continue to do it. #12 To the government, each citizen is a potential threat, and this justifies the militarization of our entire society. The following is an excerpt from an excellent commentary by John Whitehead #13 As our police departments have become militarized, SWAT team deployments have gone through the roof. As I wrote about recently, there were only about 3,000 SWAT raids in the United States back in 1980. But today, there are more than 80,000 SWAT raids per year in this country. #14 The federal government is so paranoid that it is actually spying on itself. The Insider Threat Program encourages federal employees to closely watch one another and to report any hint of suspicious activity The federal effort, called the Insider Threat Program, was launched in October 2011, and it certainly hasnt diminished since Edward Snowden disclosed details of the National Security Agencys domestic spying. As McClatchy reporters Marisa Taylor and Jonathan S. Landay have described, federal employees and contractors are encouraged to keep an eye on allegedly suspicious indicators in their co-workers lives, from financial troubles to divorce. A brochure produced by the Defense Security Service, titled INSIDER THREATS: Combating the ENEMY within your organization, sums up the spirit of the program: It is better to have reported overzealously than never to have reported at all. #15 Last, but certainly not least, there is the matter of the NSA constantly spying on all of us. The NSA is monitoring and recording billions of our phone calls and emails, and most Americans dont seem to care. But they should care. I like how an article in the New York Post described what is happening to our society Through a combination of fear, cowardice, political opportunism and bureaucratic metastasis, the erstwhile land of the free has been transformed into a nation of closely watched subjects a country of 300 million potential criminals, whose daily activities need constant monitoring. Once the most secret of organizations, the NSA has become even more famous than the CIA, the public face of Big Brother himself. At its headquarters on Savage Road in Fort Meade, Md., its omnivorous Black Widow supercomputer hoovers up data both foreign and domestic, while its new $2 billion data center near Bluffdale, Utah the highly classified Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center houses, well, just about everything. As James Bamford wrote in Wired magazine two years ago, as the center was being completed: Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private e-mails, cellphone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trails parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital pocket litter.

3	Mainstream Media Ignores Massive Open Carry ProtestJoshua Krause While simple on paper, in practice this law makes it illegal for residents of Washington to lend their firearms to anyone, or to so much as hand their weapons over to a friend. For those of you who are gun owners, youll recognize this as something youve done numerous times without a second thought. It basically makes every gun owner a criminal. The event was organized by activist Gavin Seim, who described the gathering by saying This isnt just a protest, we are here to openly violate the law. The event went off without a hitch. Thousands came together on the front lawn of the capital building, armed with a myriad of weapons. They broke the law in full view of the police; some by passing their guns to fellow protesters, while others offered their firearms for sale. Whats even more interesting, though not surprising, is the nearly complete lack of response from the mainstream media. So far only a few local news outlets have picked up the story while the rest of the dinosaur media decided to completely ignore one of the biggest open carry protests in recent history. Theres barely any footage to be found. Not only did these folks come to the state capital armed, but they publicly violated the states unconstitutional law in front of the police, and nobody was arrested. And yet there hasnt been a peep out of Fox or CNN. I guess their corporate handlers learned their lesson after the extensive coverage of Bundy Ranch. They dont want you to know that when enough people come together to break the law, that law becomes unenforceable. In practice, it becomes null and void. They dont want you to know that you can stop these unconstitutional violations, and they certainly dont want you to know that you are not alone. There are millions of people who dont want to put up with this, and if they come together they can stop any gun grab.

2	Concealed Carrier Saves Life Of Police Officer Being Attacked By Dozens Of... At Upper Darby High School, kids had just gotten finished with the day. Police were patrolling the town, and one happened to come across a fight going on between 2 teens. There was a crowd of about 50 people surrounding them. The officer entered through the crowd and pulled one of the kids off of the other. Thats when the other kid jumped on the officers back and started attacking him. The other kid joined in, and the crowd slowly crept in on the officer. Just before things got really ugly, a 35 year old resident of the town saw what was happening and pulled out his gun. He didnt aim it at the kids, but yelled a warning and made his presence clear. The kids backed off and the officer got away without any serious injuries. Close call. Do you support concealed carry? 
1	The San Francisco Giants put aside their differences Sunday night, working together as a team in a common effort to score a run in a baseball game. The scrappy nine-man crew overcame daunting odds to cobble together the run, as each player used his individual strengths and skills to help string together an unlikely series of eventsincluding a walk, advancement on a wild pitch, an infield single, and perhaps most selfless of all, a ground into double playthat ultimately resulted in a Giant crossing home plate. 'This just shows you what a team can do when they put their mind to it,' said Giants first-baseman Dan Ortmier, who was swarmed by his celebrating teammates at home plate after scoring the run. The Giants lost to the Brewers 12-1. 
2	Fireman Suspended For Flying The Confederate Flag From Truck On The 4th Of July When volunteer firefighter Brian Nielsen decided to add the Confederate flag to the back of his fire truck during the citys parade this year, he expected to incite controversy. But he did not know that his job would be on the line. The Hartland firefighter claims he was demonstrating against political correctness when he flew the flag in Fridays parade. Nielsen ended up getting a stronger reaction than he could have ever dreamed of. Many people in the city told WCCO they support Nielsen, who has been a volunteer fireman for the last 10 years in a city that only has 18. Other parade goers were insulted and offended by the gesture. The city decided to suspend Nielsen after hundreds of people saw an image on social media. What do you think of the citys decision? 
2	Obama Was Born In The US, But The Truth About His Citizenship Will Blow Your Mind President Obama has been in office for nearly 6 years, and weve made very little progress when it comes to finding out the truth about his birth certificate. Several people in the public eye have been calling for the president to hand over his documents. Among the most vocal is Donald Trump. According to Trump, Obama has probably been telling the truth that he was born in America. Instead of the common theories, Trump believes that Obama simply lied when he was applying to Columbia University so that we would be admitted more easily, and would receive more aide money. When foreign students apply to school, they are more often accepted given diversity requirements for schools. They are also given more financial support to attend the institution. As most of us know by now, when Obamas birth certificate was released to the public, it consisted of several different layers that only exist when you create a file in Photoshop. Trump claims that he has offered Obama $5 million to show him the personal information contained on his transcript. When he didnt hear back, he raised his offer to $50 million. He has yet to hear a reply. What do you think? Is Obama guilty of fraud? 
2	BREAKING: Judge Rules Officer That Shot Mike Brown Is Innocent, Doesnt Need To Prove Self Defense According to recent reports, it looks as though the officer that is responsible for taking the life of Mike Brown might have been within his rights. According to a Missouri law, officers are authorized to shoot and kill a fleeing robbery suspect. The statute was brought to attention by Professor John F. Banzhaf II, a Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University Law School. Banzhaf explained that Darren Wilsons case goes beyond self defense, and that the cop has a likely chance of never being charged with a crime. According to reports Section 563.046 authorizes a law enforcement officer to use deadly force when he reasonably believes that such use of deadly force is immediately necessary to effect the arrest and also reasonably believes that the person to be arrested . . has committed or attempted to commit a felony. And that means that even if Wilsons claims of self-defense fell through, his arguments could hold up in court. What do you think? Will Wilson be let off the hook? Is he innocent? 
1	L.A. Galaxy club officials said Monday that, under the terms of the insurance policy intended to protect their $250 million investment in star midfielder David Beckham, they would under no circumstances permit the high-priced Beckham to play soccer for them ever again. 'We would have to be crazy to expose David to a hazard-filled game, situation, stadium, or even let him set foot in our potentially harmful training facilities,' Galaxy head coach Frank Yallop said. 'We have a quarter of a billion dollars invested in him, and our policy will not allow him to play in a game where physical contact, while rare, has been known to occur, as even a minor nagging injury could prevent Beckham from performing his primary duty of representing us in public.' Galaxy executives addressed concerns that his wife Victoria will break him by announcing plans to encase Beckham in a protective block of Lucite, only taking him out for special promotional occasions. 
3	6 Apocalyptic Technologies That Most People Have Not Even Heard About YetBy Michael Snyder Would you be willing to allow a technology company to put one large computer chip or thousands of really, really small ones (neural dust) into your brain? These are some of the technologies that are coming. Our world is changing at an absolutely mind blowing rate, and to be honest none of us really knows what our world is going to look like a decade from now. Remember, ten years ago Facebook did not exist and five years ago the iPad did not exist. Our planet is fundamentally being transformed, and our scientists are rapidly turning the impossible into the possible. The following are 6 apocalyptic technologies that most people have not even heard about yet Will people soon pay for things by having their faces scanned at the checkout counter? That may sound absurd, but according tothe Daily Mail a company from Finland has already launched this technology Bank cards are already being replaced by phones and wristbands that have payment technology built-in but the latest threat to the lowly plastic in your pocket could be your face. A Finnish startup called Uniqul has launched what it calls the first ever payment platform based on facial recognition. The system doesnt require a wallet, bank card or phone instead a camera is positioned at the checkout and takes a photo of a shoppers face when they are ready to pay. It then scans a database for the face and matches it to stored payment details in order to complete the transaction. Do you remember the billboards in the movie Minority Report that used facial recognition technology to scan faces and produce appropriate ads? Personally, I never thought that I would see such a thing in my lifetime, but the truth is that a company called Amscreen already has over 6,000 digital screens that use this kind of technology. In fact, their advertising screens are already being viewed by approximately 50 million people Advertising network Amscreen recently launched a unique face-detection technology, originally developed by automated audience measurement firm Quividi. Cameras have been installed in Amscreens digital advertising displays that can scan a persons face and determine their gender, age, date, time and volume of the viewers. This is so adverts are served to the most appropriate audience. Amscreen already has over 6,000 digital screens seen by a weekly audience of over 50 million people. And according to NPR, this kind of facial recognition technology is now being used in some retail stores to identify VIPs This lack of recognition is precisely what the VIP-identification technology designed by is supposed to prevent. The U.K.-based company already supplies similar software to security services to help identify terrorists and criminals. The ID technology works by analyzing footage of peoples faces as they walk through a door, taking measurements to create a numerical code known as a face template, and checking it against a database. In the retail setting, the database of customers faces is comprised of celebrities and valued customers, according to Londons . If a face is a match, the program sends an alert to staff via computer, iPad or smartphone, providing details like dress size, favorite buys or shopping history. Would you allow a technology company to put a chip in your brain? According to a recent article in a major UK newspaper, apparently this is exactly what executives at Google believe will happen someday It began, just 15 years ago, as a service that enabled you to type a request into a personal computer and be given links to associated websites. Things have rather moved on. Soon Google hopes to have the ubiquitous presence of a personal assistant that never stops working, capable of conversing naturally in any language. Ultimately, as Page and co-founder Sergey Brin have asserted, the goal is to insert a chip inside your head for the most effortless search engine imaginable. In fact, on a recent visit to Google the reporter writing the article quoted above was told the following by Google Vice President of Search Ben Gomes Where will it end? Gomes agrees that a chip embedded in the brain is far from a sci-fi fantasy. Already people are beginning to experiment with handicapped people for manoeuvring their wheelchairs, he says. They are getting a few senses of direction with the wheelchair but getting from there to actual words is a long ways off. We have to do this in the brain a lot better to make that interaction possible. We have impatience for that to happen but the pieces of technology have to develop. Did you know that the U.S. military is building robots? Okay, so they arent quite like the Terminator yet. But apparentlythey are rapidly becoming very advanced ATLAS is 6 ft and 2 inches, it weighs 330 pounds. Its primary purpose is said to be joining in relief efforts particularly in those places where involvement of human beings is lethal or downright impossible. Boston Dynamics, who built the ATLAS body, say that the robot is strong and coordinated enough to climb using its hands and feet, as well as pick its way in congested spaces. The people who have been called in to work on the robot are tasked with programming it to interact in the most efficient way it can be made to. DARPA has released a video which shows ATLAS walking, avoiding obstacles, withstanding brute force applied at its torso and even climbing the stairs. You can view that video of ATLAS doing those things right here. So as these robots become more sophisticated, will there be any limits on how the U.S. military will employ them? A recent article in the Washington Post painted a frightening picture But whats to stop the same indestructible robots that can walk over rubble, manipulate complex tools and enter burning buildings from being used in entirely different scenarios by the U.S. military? They might, for example, be able to march through debris-strewn war zones, manipulate weapons and hunt down terrorists, on a house-by-house basis. In other words, the DARPA Robotics Challenge could result in the creation of a real-life Terminator bot. Did you know that it is possible to levitate and move small objects using only small waves? Just check out what a team of scientists in Switzerlandrecently discovered A team of researchers in Switzerland have developed a way of levitating and transporting small objects using nothing but sound. Using ultrasonic waves that is, sound waves whose frequency is too high for humans to hear scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurichhave made water droplets, instant coffee crystals, styrofoam flakes, and a toothpick, among other objects, hang in midair, move along a plane, and interact with each other. It is the first time that scientists have been able to use sound to simultaneouslylevitate several objects next to each other and move them around. This is perhaps the most frightening technology on the list. The advances in the field of nanotechnology that we have seen over the past decade have been absolutely mind blowing. Now, some scientists are talking about actually being able to put thousands of tiny little computer chips inside our heads. The following is from a recent Time Magazine article Heres how it might work: First you pop through the skull and the brains dura (the membrane surrounding the brain), dipping into the brains neural sea itself, roughly two millimeters down, where you position thousands of low-powered CMOS chips (the neural dust, each as tiny asmillionths of a meter) to begin capturing neural signals using electrodes and piezoelectric sensors, which convert the data to ultrasonic signals. Those signals are then picked up by a sub-dural transceiver (sitting just above the dust chips and simultaneously powering them ultrasonically), which relays the data to an external transceiver resting just outside the skull (ASIC, memory, battery, long-range transmitter), which in turn communicates wirelessly with whatever computing device. Like most futurist notions, this one hasnt been tested yet its just a formal proposal but its another fascinating glimpse into where we might be headed, bypassing clumsyliteralBMI head-jacks for micro-scale interfaces that would link us, wire-free, to future galaxies of virtual information. While many of these emerging technologies may sound very exciting, the truth is that it is important to remember that any technology is a two-edged sword. A technology can be used for good or it can be used for evil. And we certainly live at a time when the grip of the Big Brother surveillance grid that is being constructed all around us is rapidly getting tighter. I think that it is important to step back and understand how much life has changed over the past several decades. We used to have much more liberty and much more freedom than we have today. Just consider the following examples from a recent article posted on the Economic Policy Journal In 1975: 1. You could buy an airline ticket and fly without ever showing an ID. 2. You could buy cough syrup without showing an ID. 3. You could buy and sell gold coins without showing an ID 4. You could buy a gun without showing an ID 5. You could pull as much cash out of your bank account without the bank filing a report with the government. 6. You could get a job without having to prove you were an American. 7. You could buy cigarettes without showing an ID 8. You could have a phone conversation without the government knowing who you called and who called you. 9. You could open a stock brokerage account without having to explain where the money came from. 10. You could open a Swiss bank account with ease. All Swiss banks were willing and happy to open accounts for Americans. Yes, facial recognition technology could have some positive uses, but will we eventually be required to have our faces scanned wherever we go? Yes, robots can be used to do a lot of great things, but will governments around the globe eventually be deploying armies of killer robots against all of us and against each other? Just because technology is advancing does not mean that life will necessarily be better in the future. For example, the video below was recently posted on shtfplan.com and it imagines what ordering a pizza might be like in the year 2015 Yes, that video is very funny, but it also makes a very serious point. Technology is increasingly being used to watch, track, monitor and control the things that we do. As this web of technology gets even tighter, we may find that we do not really like how it has changed our lives. That is why it is important for society to have some very important discussions about privacy, liberty and freedom while we still can. If we dont set up limits on the use of these technologies now, someday we might end up bitterly regretting it. Also Read: About the author: Michael T.

3	Prominent Veterans Group Just Called On US Public to Say No to WarBy Nick Bernabe The entire letter is included below: President Obamas decision to prolong the U.S. led war in Afghanistan only ensures U.S. responsibility for more death and destruction. Veterans For Peace condemns the decision and calls on the U.S. public to say no to more war. Today, President Obama commented, I do not support the idea of endless war, and I have repeatedly argued against marching into open-ended military conflicts that do not serve our core security interests. But Veterans For Peace asks, what is this policy but endless war? The U.S. has been fighting in Afghanistan for over fourteen years. What can fewer than 10,000 service members do that more than 100,000 could not? Al-Qaeda is a non-factor in Afghanistan and the Taliban are Afghans. U.S. presence in Afghanistan ensures more Afghan deaths and delay in reduction of violence so that civil society can be rebuilt and peace and justice can begin to take hold. War, Mr. President, has not worked. If you dont believe in endless wars and you want to be a true Nobel Peace laureate to be looked up to and admired for working for peace in the face of pressure to continue down the road of war, Bring Our Troops Home and put all of the weight and power of the U.S. behind building peace. In his remarks, the president referred to the Taliban and the people of Afghanistan as if they are two different groups. The truth is that the Taliban represent a portion of the Afghan people. The Taliban are Pashtun tribesmen. Pashtuns are also the majority in Afghanistan. This makes it very difficult to combat the Taliban as they have many sympathizers and supporters who may not actively fight the U.S. backed government, but will not support it. It is clear that U.S. led efforts in Afghanistan have given more people reason to join the Taliban. A Carnegie Endowment for International Peace 2009 question and answer piece explained, people join because the Afghan government is unjust, corrupt, or simply not there. They also join because the Americans have bombed their houses or shown disrespect for their values. For young people, joining the Taliban is a way to earn social status. That was written six years past, and little has changed. Just two weeks ago on October 3, 2015 the U.S. bombed a Doctors Without Borders Hospital in Kunduz Afghanistan killing twelve medical staff, ten patients and wounding thirty-two others. This type of incident is not uncommon. Amnesty Internationals 2014/15 Annual Afghanistan Report says, ISAF and NATO forces continued to launch night raids and aerial and ground attacks, claiming dozens of civilian lives, despite completing the handover of responsibility for security to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) in June 2013. The report goes on to say.[sic] There were significant failures of accountability for civilian deaths, including a lack of transparent investigations and a lack of justice for the victims and their families. An October 14th New York Times article reports that, Mr. Ghani is not popular among Afghans. And the problems in his government like corruption and incompetence run so deep that fixing them will take years, possibly decades. Trust of the Afghan government has not increased among the people it claims to represent. It is true that anti-government forces are responsible for the vast majority of civilian deaths. However, continuing the war does not increase the possibility for reduction of violence to save lives. This makes coalition forces and the opposition complicit in every death. There is little chance of defeating the Taliban because they will not stop fighting until the foreign invaders are gone and there are not enough Afghans willing to possibly die in support of the U.S. backed national government. There is not a perfect solution to the tragedy of Afghanistan. War has been the norm for the people of Afghanistan for nearly 37 years. The answer to ending the violence there is political, not military. The U.S. must withdraw and give the nation of Afghanistan back to the people of Afghanistan. The people of Afghanistan must form their own union. One we may not like, but is theirs. The international community must pressure the Afghan government, Taliban dominated or not, to follow international law and respect human rights. A real diplomatic effort must be brought to bear to end the violence so that the people of Afghanistan can rebuild civil society and create space for human rights activists to struggle for a just society. Concerns about the threat of ISIL in Afghanistan must be met with more effective efforts to end the violence and wars in Iraq and Syria. U.S. global policy of endless war is merging into a global response of violence. We need a global response that meets human needs and aspirations. War is not the foundation on which to build peace. U.S. efforts have proven that war is the breeding ground for more violence and hatred. We demand a peace plan, Mr. President. We are not war weary, we simply know it does not work. Finally, there are U.S. service members and families upon whose shoulders this failed and derived policy of endless war will continue to fall. U.S. military personnel have sacrificed enough in blood on the battlefield; wounded and killed. They are burdened with executing a no win strategy. When they come home they face unemployment, homelessness, recovery from physical and mental wounds and high rates of death by suicide. The Department of Veterans Affairs is already overwhelmed, unable to meet the needs of our brother and sister veterans. This policy ensures more of the same on the home front as well. Mr. President, it is clearly time to end this and all U.S. wars. Bring Them Home and Take Care of Them When They Get Here.

If you spot a typo, emailedits@theantimedia.org. Veterans for peace should learn a little bit more about refusing service BEFORE becoming another piece of garbage for the criminal government to throw on the trash heap. But after the fact you are government property. They can and will do as they please and you veterans signed off on it. Doesnt feel very good having sold your soul to the Great Satan does it? The real reason we do not wish to leave Afghanistan is the extremely lucrative heroin drug trade we get for all our black ops.The idea is similar to not finding cure for cancer. Were a cure allowed, Big Pharma would lose trillions. Were we to leave Afghanistan, the PTB would also lose trillions from the drug trade. So, well be there forever. Cures for cancer abound. Just go the the NIH website and search for cannabinoids and cancer. You will find that the cure has been had all of this time. But again we have been bamboozled and once you give a charlotan power over you you almost never get it back. No one wants to reflect back and realize that they had the cure all along but instead of going with it and finding the necessary research they listened to their allopathic witch doctors and filled themselves or their family members with all of those expensive poison pills. When you have lost a loved one to cancer you wont look at the cure that has been staring you in the face the whole time with polite acceptance but rather with contempt for you have been bamboozled and the pain of that truth is too much to bear. Cognitive dissonance is the primary motivating factor in Amerika these days. Yes, there have been many cures for cancer, but they have either been taken off the market (laetrile) or the doctors who discovered them, killed off. Afghans can fight the Taliban for their own country.Im tired of this intervention Veterans for Peace is NOT a prominent veterans group. 
2	Sarah Palin Rips Into Obama On Live TV After Host Ambushes Her [VIDEO] Donald Trump has gone against the grain in his campaign for Presidentincluding making it clear that he does not trust the media, who often manipulates his quotes and distorts the truth. This is a sentiment that is echoed by Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor who ran in the 2008 presidential campaign of Vice President. In a recent interview, she made it clear that she is not going to be pushed around. Palin appeared on NBCs Today show to demonstrate her support of Trump ahead of the Iowa caucus. Co-anchor Savannah Guthrie blatantly disrespected Palin when she went off script and asked about her sons recent arrest on domestic violence charges. You guys brought me to talk about Iowa politics and the caucus tonight, not to talk about my kidsand that was a promise, Palin argued. But as things go in the world of media, you guys dont always keep your promises, evidently. Matt Lauer later denied that any promise or agreement had been made with Palin. There were no specific promises made about content of the interview, only that this would be your first interview since you endorsed Donald Trump, Lauer shot back. I was told this interview was about the caucus tonight in Iowa, Palin said, standing firm. What do you think? Do you support Palin for standing up to the media? 
3	Texas Ticking Time BombsRemington Alessi The United Steel Workers arent just on strike because of wages. Theyre concerned about safe practices, because workers are in constant danger from a corporate culture that does not care for their safety. In Deer Park and Pasadena, Texas, refineries line the ship channel, processing everything from sweet crude to diluted bitumen from tar sands oil. The area makes up the largest network of petrochemical plants in the world. Plant operators act as the last line of defense against industrial disasters, and they are fearful of the results of company decisions to cut costs at the expense of safety. Its like working around a bomb, said one LyondellBasell employee while sitting outside of the Pasadena plants gates. The plant itself has not been inspected since 2010, when OSHA found sufficient violations to justify a fine. Striking employees were hesitant to give their names, expressing concerns about the tendency for industry and government to punish whistleblowers. Though LyondellBasell recently reported record earnings for 2014 as well as a cheerfully positive financial forecast, the facility is still operating a fluid catalytic cracking unit, commonly known as a cat cracker, that is sorely outdated and dangerous. Despite being one of the more important parts of petroleum refining, the cat cracker at the Lyondell plant was built in 1952. Workers report that it has received updates based on the catastrophic industrial disasters caused by the other two models of identical design in France and Louisiana, but that the updates are slow to come due to cost-cutting decisions made by LyondellBasell. Decisions about what to repair and when to repair it are made through risk management, a process of assessing the potential costs of failure of machinery. The easiest way to understand how risk management works is to listen to Edward Norton briefly explain how the car company he works for decides whether or not to do a recall in Fight Club, an explanation that is eerily accurate. In short, some complex math is done to calculate whether or not a company is likely to have an incident and how much it will cost. Price tags are put on the lives of employees and surrounding residents while risk managers try to calculate the costs and benefits of preventive maintenance versus merely running equipment until it fails. According to a striking engineer at the Shell plant in Deer Park, process control instrumentation fails frequently at their plant. Process control instrumentation regulates temperatures and flow rates of chemicals in reactions, using complex calculations to automatically regulate controls in real time. When these fail, risk management frequently makes the decision to not replace the devices if the cost is too high. As an alternative, plant operators are required to manually adjust controls, blindly guessing at optimal rates without the input of precise readings. This sort of unsafe decision made by the company against the advice of plant operators is common, and not unique to the Shell plant. For anyone familiar with chemistry, the idea of estimating the amounts and temperatures of volatile chemicals involved in refining is a terrifying one. As process control instrumentation and other pieces of hardware fail, workers are required to spend increased time and effort manually adjusting chemical flows that were previously regulated by precision automation. Instead of increasing staff to meet workload requirements, the plants have employees work overtime, sometimes being pushed to the limit at eighteen hours a day for two weeks straight, levels that are well known to cause cognitive impairment. Being insufficiently staffed can adversely impact safety, a factor that union members say was a strong contributing factor in a recent set of deaths at a local DuPont plant. In order to further cut costs, the plants have brought in temporary contract labor, keeping them locked inside the plant and unable to leave during the strike. These contractors often lack any plant operation experience, which creates an additional safety concern, especially if they lack familiarity with the highly customized elements of specific plant operations. Strikers at the LyondellBasell plant even observed four ambulance visits in just the first five days since going on strike, a rate that concerns workers who are accustomed to rarely having that many incidents in as many months. This level of unsafe operation makes a large scale disaster almost inevitable. Industrial disasters can be prevented, but only if attention is given to the warning signs. When those warnings are ignored the way that Shell and LyondellBasell ignore the concerns of their employees, those mistakes can measure on the Richter scale. Those warning signs are now quite literally standing in front of Shell and LyondellBasell, demanding that these companies pay more care to safety. Between LyondellBasells $4.5 Billion and Shells $16.3 Billion in profits for 2014, theres more than enough money to cover the sort of safety protocols that would defuse Texas ticking time bomb before the cost has to be measured in dead bodies.

1	One month after moving into their shared apartment, roommates Nick Horowitz, 23, and Dan Crenshaw, 24, are still trying to find an appropriately masculine way to bid each other good night, Crenshaw told reporters Tuesday. 'We started out by bumping fists and saying 'night bro,' and right now we're getting by with really sarcastically saying 'nighty-night, sweetie,'' said Crenshaw, who recounted several other short-lived nightly salutations, including a particularly ill-conceived attempt that ended in an awkward half hug. 'I think I'm going to try out something tonight like 'good night, fuckface,' and we'll go from there.' Crenshaw said that the good-morning greeting of grunting, scratching, and repeatedly calling each other 'queer' seems to be fulfilling the pair's needs at present. 
1	Drawing on satellite data and foreign intelligence reports, Pentagon officials confirmed Monday that North Korea was in the late stages of developing a military parade with an operational range of 5,000 miles. With its current capabilities, the DPRK could, at a moments notice, deploy a lavish parade to the Japanese mainland or Guam, potentially expanding the reach of its festivities to the West Coast of the United States by years end, said Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert O. Work, who explained that the communist dictatorship had bolstered its arsenal of massive full-color Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung banners, and that its top choreographers were drilling soldiers on how to maneuver in dazzling synchronized formations for maximum visual effect. We estimate that by early 2016, several major U.S. population centers, including Seattle and Los Angeles, could be within their sights. And if this progress goes unchecked, American citizens could one day wake up to the sounds of the Korean Peoples Army State Merited Chorus and Ensemble, followed by the horrific spectacle of 20,000 people dancing in matching traditional costumes as a solitary, weeping woman sings songs in praise of Kim Jong-un. Pentagon sources confirmed that any test of a North Korean military procession would be the countrys first since 2010, when a parade veered sharply off course and wound up in the East China Sea. 
1	Excitement over college basketballs National Invitation Tournament reached a fever pitch Tuesday as the teams of the Exclusive Eight prepared to play for the chance to compete in next weeks Last Four at Madison Square Garden. Reaching the Exclusive Eight is nice, but you know these teams are thinking Last Four, said ESPN commentator Tim Welsh about the field that remained after half of the Good Sixteen were eliminated over the past two days. The choosing board set the initial field of 32, we all filled out our winners charts, and so far The Great Big Party has more than lived up to its name. But who will take home the NIT Victory Certificate? Folks, this is what Crazy March is all about. The 2013 tournament has been especially compelling thanks to the electrifying play of Providence guard and NIT Most Useful Player award frontrunner Bryce Cotton, who many believe has a good chance of one day playing in the ABA. 
1	According to sources, local mother Katherine Woolverton, 61, called her son Sam on Tuesday evening just to say hello and that shes feeling very, very sad. I felt like crying all day today; just calling to catch up and hear your voice, said Woolverton, listening intently as her son filled her in on his new apartment and the latest developments at his job before casually mentioning how she has been experiencing feelings of deep melancholy. Anyway, Im going to get back to thumbing through some old family photos from that time you and your sister dressed up like Bert and Ernie for Halloween. Nice chitchatting! I love you. Im very sad. Sources confirmed that within minutes, Woolverton had sent her son a follow-up text thanking him for talking to her. 
2	American Man Who Tried To Join ISIS Cries In Court When He Finds Out His Sentence According to recent reports, a Georgia man who wrote that he was ready for jihad and bought a one-way ticket overseas in an attempt to join the Islamic State group was just sentenced to time in prison. During the trial, Leon Nathan Davis II (also known as Abdul Wakil Khalil) sobbed to the judge, claiming that he was an American. Davis was sentenced to 15 years after pleading guilty to seeking to help a known terrorist organization. He will be serving the maximum punishment for his crimes. Davis was arrested at the Atlanta airport last October as he was trying to board a flight to Turkey. His plan at the time was to be smuggled into Syria so that he could join ISIS as a recruiter and an English Teacher. During his hearing, Davis told the judge that he had been brainwashed by writings and online propaganda after he converted to Islam while in prison for cocaine trafficking a decade ago. I allowed myself to stray away from the truth of my religion, which is peace, love and humility, Davis said in the courtroom. They brainwashed me into thinking that hatred and death were the way into heaven. U.S. District Court Judge J. Randal Hall felt little sympathy for Davis, who once posted online: One of my greatest desires is to kill Zionists and bring down Israel and the United States of America. Davis also owned six rifles, four handguns and two shotguns at the time of his arrest. I love my country and I am an American, Davis pleaded. This is the best country in the world and it deserves better. Judge Hall claims that he chose the maximum punishment for Davis in hopes that it will deter others. In light of the clear evidence of their savagery and brutality, he chose to travel there and join them, Hall concluded. This is a serious offense against our nation. We need to impose a serious sentence.

1	Citing a longstanding need to 'restore honor and dignity to the American food-service industry,' Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Russ Feingold (D-WI) announced the public debut of their joint business venture Monday, a chain of integrity-themed restaurants which opened in 12 locations nationwide. Russ & John's flagship location in Stevens Point, WI. The new Russ & John's chain, which the two senators funded privately via small financial donations of no more than $2,000 per investor, was founded on the idea that 'today's customers want quality food without all the lies and exaggerations that all too often accompany it,' according to McCain. 'When we say we've got the best burger in town, you can be sure that we can back up that claim with documented evidence,' Feingold said to an estimated crowd of 4,000 at the grand opening of a Russ & John's in Stevens Point, WI. 'We've done the research, our staff has interviewed hundreds of burger lovers, and I can truthfully say that nothing compares to our mouthwatering Bleu Cheese 'N Bacon Burger.' Feingold described what he called the eateries' three bedrock principles. 'First, we will never mislead customers with pictures on our menus that make a sandwich look bigger, juicier, or more out-of-this-world delicious than it actually is,' Feingold said. 'Second, we consider all customers equal and will extend the same service to influential diners and retirees on fixed incomes who stop by just for the salad bar. Third, we will offer full, voluntary disclosure on the ingredients of all our dishes, including our world-famous secret pancake recipe, as our customers have the right to know exactly what makes them so darn fluffy.' Other menu items at Russ & John's include the 'All You Can, In Good Conscience, Eat' buffet; Grandma's Favorite Mashed Potatoes, which comes with gravy, coleslaw, and a signed affidavit from Irene Feingold, the senator's paternal grandmother, confirming that they are, in fact, her favorite mashed potatoes; and John's Hot & Spicy Jalapeo Poppers. In an effort to avoid the 'thinly veiled bribery' found in the majority of restaurants, Russ & John's prohibit tips, disparaging them as 'the worst kind of soft money,' according to the 'Message From The Founders' on the restaurant's menu. Instead, management will distribute company-issued 'server grants,' intended to prevent undue influence on the waitstaff's performance and ensure that every customer receives the same quality service. McCain said the staff has been trained to deliver 'straight talk' to customers. McCain and Feingold answer questions before cutting the red tape at their new Russ &amp; John's location in Stevens Point, WI. 'Our servers are not there to just tell you what you want to hear,' McCain said. 'If a customer asks how the Zesty Three-Cheese Ranch Chicken Platter is, and if it's not particularly good, they're going to be up-front with you and say, 'Frankly, the chicken is not that good.'' 'Same goes for the Lasagna Rollups, which, to be perfectly honest, are terrible,' McCain added. A series of TV commercials for the chain focus on the positive aspects of the dining experience and carefully avoid personal attacks on its competitors. 'Russ and John are reaching across party lines to bring both sides to the dinner table,' says R.J. McUpright, the chain's pin-striped, suspender-wearing spokesmoose, in one ad. 'Whether you're a meat-and-potatoes person or a strict vegetarian, there's something for everyonefrom our sizzling steak fajitas to our tangy apple-walnut salad. So next time you've got a hunger for honesty, accountability, and a good meal at a fair price, just take out your moral compass and follow it all the way to the nearest Russ & John's, where everyone gets a bigger slice of the pie.' At the end of the ad, both McCain and Feingold appear on camera to say they approved this message. While Russ & John's has garnered much media attention, early business has been sluggish, especially in the D.C.-metro area. 'Their heart is in the right place, but I don't ever see myself eating there, especially when there's a McConnell's Pork Barrel right across the street,' said Sen. George Allen (R-VA), referring to the barbecue-style eatery owned and operated by Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, known for its controversial 'lawmakers-and-campaign-donors-eat-free' policy. 'Who wants to eat at a place that bans complimentary soda refills on ethical grounds?' Allen added.

3	U.S. Spy Agencies Launched 231 Offensive Cyber Operations in 2011: Leaked DocumentsMadison Ruppert The latest information was revealed in documents leaked by Edward Snowden to The Washington Post. The Post reports that it was contained in the recently reported classified intelligence budget and that it provides new evidence that the Obama administrations growing ranks of cyberwarriors infiltrate and disrupt foreign computer networks. Under an extensive $652 million project codenamed GENIE, American operatives break into foreign computer networks so that they can be put under surreptitious U.S. control, according to the Post. Under the GENIE project, specialists would remotely place covert implants advanced malicious software on tens of thousands of computers, routers and firewalls every single year. While this kind of widespread use of malware isnt surprising, it is quite amazing to learn that the U.S. government plans to expand those numbers into the millions, as the Post reports. Then again, given the amount of malware purchased and/or developed by employees of the U.S. government, it shouldnt be shocking that they seek to get their moneys worth. Indeed, the budget revealed that the government devoted $25.1 million to additional covert purchases of software vulnerabilities from private malware vendors this year. While the Obama administration officially refuses to acknowledge these types of cyberwarfare programs, former U.S. officials confirmed and described a campaign of computer intrusions that is far broader and more aggressive than previously understood to the Post. Former officials explained that those targets include countries like Iran, Russia, China and North Korea and activities such as nuclear proliferation. However, the budget document did not provide many other details about the clandestine operations. Due to the prevalence of these kinds of operations, there has been a massive expansion of the National Security Agencys Tailored Access Operations along with the Central Intelligence Agencys Information Operations Center (IOC). The Post reports that the IOC has been responsible for some of the most notable offensive cyberoperations and the recruitment of new intelligence sources. Many of the operations are apparently coordinated by the NSAs Remote Operations Center (ROC). To the NSA as a whole, the ROC is where the hackers live, said an anonymous former NSA operative from another section who has worked with the so-called exploitation teams in the past. Its basically the one-stop shop for any kind of active operation thats not defensive, the individual said to the Post. Operatives with the ROC work with FBI, CIA and U.S. Cyber Command teams along with the NSAs National Threat Operations Center and the IOC. According to the budget, most of the operations carried out under the GENIE program fall under the umbrella of exploitation of foreign systems. The document defines this exploitation as surreptitious virtual or physical access to create and sustain a presence inside targeted systems or facilities. System logs and processes are modified to cloak the intrusion, facilitate future access, and accomplish other operational goals, the intelligence budget summary adds. The growth of the U.S. cyberwarfare effort is undeniable and it seems that it is only increasing. The United States is moving toward the use of tools short of traditional weapons that are unattributable that cannot be easily tied to the attacker to convince an adversary to change their behavior at a strategic level, said an anonymous former senior U.S. official. Yet since a cyber-attack is considered an act of war by the White House and Pentagon, it is hard to see how countries targeted by U.S. cyber operations would want to react positively to such an act.

3	3 Boggling Facts in Hillary Email Cover-up/Dallas ShootingBy Jon Rappoport I know full well how incompetent, stupid, amateurish, and ill-prepared government employees can be. But the dog and pony Hillary show of the last few days is truly staggering. If the effort was to exonerate Hillary Clinton, it was done so badly the American people are more certain than ever that she is guilty as sin. Here are the top three actions of the past few days that conspired to free her, while actually revealing how culpable she is, to anyone with a few working brain cells: One: Just by chance, US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, the highest law-enforcement official in the land, runs into Bill Clinton at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. They talk in secret, as the FBI is wrapping up its email-scandal probe and is preparing to present its findings. This Lynch-Clinton meeting assures one and all that the fix is in. Hillarys guilty, but were going to find her innocent. Two: In an unprecedented move, FBI Director Comey holds a global press conference. He runs down a massive list of Hillarys actions, leaving no doubt she is guilty of gross negligence in her handling of classified materials. But then he does an abrupt turn and recommends no prosecution, because the Bureau found no evidence she intended to do harm. Comey knows, and ensuing press reports emphasize, that intent is not the legal issue. The Federal Penal Code (Title 18, section 793f) makes that clear. Gross negligence is sufficient for prosecution, conviction, and a sentence of up to ten years in prison. Furthermore, why is an FBI Director making his recommendation in public, before the world? His job is simply to turn over the evidence to his boss, Attorney General Lynch, who will decide whether prosecution is the next step. But since, a day earlier, Lynch inexplicably said she would blindly follow the FBIs recommendationthereby abdicating her duty as Attorney GeneralComey is suddenly doing her job and occupying her position. He is, for the moment, the US Attorney General. As any fool can see. Comey is also an appellate judge, because he is interpreting Title 18 of the Federal Penal Codeand interpreting it falsely. As any fool can see. Three: Comey then appears before the Congress for a grilling. Are we to assume he expected to get off easily? Of course not. He knew he would be raked over the coals, and in the process he would reveal more clearly how Hillary had violated the law. Comey would continue to assert there was no need for prosecution, while showing the world that prosecution was exactly the proper path. And thats what happened, during Comeys conversation with Rep. Trey Gowdy. Four main facts emerged out of Comeys mouth: Comey admits all this under questioning. He further concedes that lies of this nature would normally be used to mount a prosecution. Not only that, these lies would be used to form a circumstantial case for intent, the very issue on which Comey found Hillary innocent. Could Comey, Loretta Lynch, and Obama have figured out a worse way to exonerate Hillary? Its hard to imagine. More likely, Obama and Lynch decided to put the egg on Comeys face. He would have to take one for the team. Comey, in turn, decided that if he was going to be the fall-guy, he would, in the process, lay out the details showing how guilty Hillary was. After all, his own people, his own FBI investigators, had assembled an air-tight case against Hillary. Comey knew they would boil with rage when he exonerated her. So he threw a bone to his team. In effect, he said to them: I have to recommend no prosecution, but Ill expose some of what you discovered. The question now is, will one or more of Comeys FBI investigators leak further devastating facts, revealing Hillarys guilt, to the press? By chance, this whole travesty of justice was suddenly overshadowed by the events in Dallas, where snipers shot 12 police officers and killed five. Arch-Globalist Hillary Clintons no-prosecution, the recent exit of Britain from the EU which torpedoed the unchecked advance of Globalism, the current Presidential campaign which features a candidate (formerly two candidates) attacking Globalism as no major candidate ever has beforeall this suddenly fades from public consciousness in the specter of the Dallas shootingsthe racial conflict that has been decades in the makingmade in America, by Globalists, for the express purpose of Divide and Conquer.

The military swear an oath to protect America against enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. Its high time they remember this oath instead of being totally focused on big fat juicy multiple pensions and a smorgasbord of mouth watering benefits. . and whining. Vets do a lot of whining about being cast aside by the government after theyve done their killing for hire gig. The military had a chance to mount a coup but Obomber smelled the plan and fired hundreds of generals, who quietly took nice pensions and went to Florida to play golf and drink mojitos. Theyre cowards and boot lickers and we pay for all of it. Read an interesting article yesterday on Vets scamming the VA to get $3000/month full disability. Were not talking about combat Vets here, but lazy fu*cks who never got anywhere near action, just want to get on the everything for free gravy train. Its no small thing, as about 50% of Vets are currently running this scam. We personally know one Vet who brags about collecting 4 military pensions + full disability. This guy wouldnt even know which end of a gun to hold. and I was reading an article the other day about how vets were used as guinea pigs for all kinds of drug, vaccine, and psychological testing, and a lot of other stuff we dont even know about. Everything that flows into the general population was first tested out on the military. So even if they didnt hold a gun, they were used in horrible ways and theyre getting even. Still at our expense, but then what isnt? Youre spot on, and were all in quite a fix. The Bushs and the Clintons are the same dirtbag criminals. As a matter of fact there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans. It is all theater to make Americans think they are choosing a candidate. We vote, we protest but they only do what their corporate handlers tell them to. People around the world are realizing this. Brexit, the National Front movement, the Podemos party as well as others are part of a word wide anti establishment movement. The establishment criminals are fighting to stay in power. Hillary is their candidate and the proof is she is being endorsed by George Bush. Well said! Thats right. Theres no difference only Karl Rove isnt running for President, nor is General Betrayus. No one is above the law. That needs to be what happens, and I hope youre not saying that because everyone else in corrupt Washington, D.C. is getting away with it, Hillary should? People were very bent out of shape over Bush. You obviously didnt pay attention to the news or the protests of the time. Now, you pay attention to Clinton getting similar treatment (and well deserved) and are confused. Please, spend some time reading articles about the Bush family and their political and personal connections dated from when Bush was in office and then also read the comments left, and you will get a broader and less slanted education in political opinion. Its not at all different. Thats kinda the point. Hillary knew that Bush and co. got raked over the coals (rightly) for doing exactly this, and she still did it. not to mention powell and rice did exactly what hillary did. exactly. For a person new to this country, you have a remarkably thorough, albeit one-sided, memory of political skullduggery. Its not that the GOP skullduggery is better or worse than the Democrat skullduggery. As Esters says so well below, its all theater to preserve an illusion. Bernie endorsing Hillary couldnt make it any more plain- the preservation of the lie called The Two Party System is all that matters to court fools who want to be kings and queens. Dont forget Comey was on the board of drug and money laundering HSBC and Lynch was the attorney general that got the cut for the government of the illegal activity, I mean, the fine. Comey and Lynch will be well paid for their treason! Of course the whole affair is over now and the race war is underway!! i often repeat myself, , here goes. Forget about the emails and private server. And, tell us about the Teneo public relations firm founded by Bill Clinton and Declan Kelly, among others, for whom Hillary was working at the same time she was Secretary of State. She knew enough to keep a completely separate schedule and clerk to handle all of her Teneo work and appointments, dinners and meetings. From those meetings, the participants learned what to expect and how much of a contribution to the Clinton Foundation it was going to cost. Good point. Comey was police, lawyer and judge all at the same time. And proved he was incompetent at all three. But he is real good at laundering money for Mexican Cartels. . . . Mr. Comey, how much money were you paid to BETRAY America? Divide and conquer thats the goal. Could it be that Comey just did not want to do this himself (because he is too closely connected to the Clintons and their foundation), that he wants Americans to defeat her at the polls in the court of public opinion? Ummm.probably not, but then again. If Comey is in fact closely connected to the Clintons and their foundation, why on earth would he then want Hillary to be defeated at the polls? Wouldnt that entirely defeat the purpose of his cultivating those relationships? Not necessarilythe intrigue that invades the upper echelon of corporate America is a fascinating and rather sordid mess. There is, as you undoubtedly know in your gut, MUCH more to this story than has been made public. The Clintons are disgusting .. To avoid fading in the public conciousness the best can be done is link the police killings to income inequality, where justice is different for the poor in US, mainly Blacks and Hispanics, and for the Clinton-like rich globalists. When all we have are limes, we have to learn to make limeade. I fail to see what Clintons income had to do with her avoiding criminal charges here. The problem seems to stem from her disproportionate political power, not her economic resources. What difference, at this point, does it make? HillBilary, selling state secrets of the highest kind for the best bidder of gold. The worst enemies of the republic are the demagogue and the corruptionist.Theodore Roosevelt You failed to see the forest because you are looking to a single tree; but the forest is an integrated ecosystem where one tree alone cannot survive. Clintons money out of corruption gives power and power gives more money out of corruption. That money is not created shifted to mega corporations and governments buying influence and the result is the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer, with more income inequality in its way. This is the kind of scat the Usurped States give its citizenry for sending them unconstitutional wage income tax. i guess no one wants to rehash and mention a 4th REALLY Boggling Fact; the coincidental but timely, throat-crushing accident of a witness due to testify in two days against Hilary. That FBI Director, Comely has also coincidentally and UNLAWFULLY exonerated Hilary of several felonies and by law is essentially an accomplice should bring strong suspicion that this same unfortunate witness was murdered on directives by the FBI. How this obvious connection between Washington DC and its political assassination agency, the FBI, is ignored should rightly be designated, the 5th REALLY Boggling Fact. 
3	E. Ukraine independence vote could be a compromise - Sir Richard BransonYouTube 
1	Finally unhindered by his wife Tipper's 25-year-long household ban on violent and sexually explicit music, former vice president Al Gore, 62, reportedly embraced his newfound independence this week by listening to the albums of the heavy metal band W.A.S.P. 'For the first time in decades, I get to play the kind of music I like without someone nagging me about what a bad influence it is,' said Gore, sitting on the floor of his living room as he cued up the song 'Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)' on his stereo. 'And I get to crank it up as loud as I want.' 'These guys are kicking some serious ass,' added the two-term U.S. Senator. 'Check out this guitar break coming upit's nasty.' Gore, who was prohibited from hearing music with graphic sex, violence, or drug references since Tipper founded the Parents Music Resource Center in 1985, confirmed yesterday that her crusade was 'total bullcrap.' In addition, Gore said that listening to the forbidden W.A.S.P. albums over and over again had not turned him into a satanic dope fiend as his wife and her associates had warned. Gore enlists a couple of old friends to help him 'ride the demon.' 'It sucked because we always had to listen to garbage like Carly Simon and Lyle Lovett all the time,' said Gore, who told reporters that he was 'loving' being single again. 'That stuff is lame, man. If it doesn't have big balls and bigger riffs, get it out of my stereo!' According to Gore, being deprived of artists like W.A.S.P., Mtley Cre, and Ice Cube for so many years only made him more curious. The former presidential candidate claimed that finally hearing them all for the first time was 'like having [his] brains shot into outer space.' 'I can't believe I wasted half my life helping Tipper put warning labels on this stuff when I could have been seeing these guys do their thing live,' Gore said of W.A.S.P. 'They used to whip raw meat at the audience. How bad-ass is that?' 'Cause I'm burning, burning, burning up with fi-ire!' added Gore, screaming the lyrics to 'Wild Child.' According to Gore's personal assistant Eric Linscott, the Nobel Peace Prize winner has been spending most of each workday gorging himself on the songs 'On Your Knees,' 'The Torture Never Stops,' and 'Show No Mercy.' 'I spent six hours at Best Buy yesterday trying to find these Quiet Riot and N.W.A. albums he was asking for,' said Linscott, who claimed he also purchased a mirror etched with the AC/DC logo for Gore's home office. 'Whenever I try to talk to him about upcoming meetings or something, he just makes this, like, devil symbol with his hands or starts air-drumming. I'm really hoping this is just a phase.' Sources confirmed that Gore has also been catching up on movies that Tipper would not allow the 62-year-old to view because they contained violence, adult language, or nudity. He recently finished watching Purple Rain nearly 26 years after his wife forced him to turn it off because the song 'Darling Nikki' contains references to masturbation. Gore also announced plans to stay up all night watching Porky's, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Red Dawn, and The Terminator. 'Why would I need Tipper when I've got all this?' said Gore, gesturing toward stacks of compact discs, vinyl albums, VHS cassettes, DVDs, and Nintendo games. 'I'll tell you one thing: If she thinks I miss her, then she's out of her mind, because I don't. I'm living the dream here, my friend. I'm not lonely at all.' Added Gore, 'Not lonely at all.' In related news, family sources reported that Tipper Gore has been enjoying her newfound freedom by taking 20-minute showers and leaving the lights on all day. 
3	5 strategies for peacefully underthrowing the status quoJ.G. Vibes However, there is definitely hope, because although we cannot precisely chart the course to freedom, we can develop workable solutions that will lead us in the right direction and help us achieve greater levels of peace in our own lives. In this article I am going to list the 5 strategies that I am most supportive of right now, and offer a brief description of how they work and why I believe they are effective approaches to meeting this goal. (3) Reinventing oldspeak When it comes to the power of words, the general population is far outmatched by the ruling class. There have been generations of work among the aristocracy completely dedicated to mastering the art of verbal manipulation and deception. They have their newspeak, which cloaks their transgressions in an air of false legitimacy, so we in turn, need to develop an oldspeak that describes reality as it is, but we need to be just as innovative and creative as those working against us. I touched on this subject in my book Alchemy of the Modern Renaissance and I will share a short excerpt below: These philosophical terms are all fairly new to our vocabulary and allow us to better describe things that were at one time just beyond our descriptive possibilities. Some of these terms were created by philosophers, scientist and psychologists, others by college students and hippies. Anyone can contribute to the positive expansion of their cultures vocabulary and tear down the linguistic barriers set by those who keep us mentally enslaved under their cultural paradigm.

3	Can Nuking Your Food Make It Safer To Eat?Sayer Ji, Contributor Even though organic food does usually have considerably higher nutrient density, it is not always the positive quality of what it contains that makes it so special. Rather, it is what you know the organic food does not contain, or what has not happened to it on its journey to your table, that makes buying organic a no-brainer to the educated consumer. Let me explain. The FDA presently supports and actively promotes the use of cobalt-60 culled from nuclear reactors as a form of electronic pasteurization on all domestically produced conventional food. They claim it makes the food safer.1 The use of euphemisms like food additive and pasteurization to describe the process of blasting food with inordinately high levels of gamma-radiation can not obviate the fact that the very same death-rays generated by thermonuclear warfare to destroy life are now being applied to food to make it safer. This sort of Orwellian logic, e.g. WAR is PEACE, is the bread and butter of State-sponsored industry propaganda. Despite the irresponsible promotion of this process as safe, food irradiation destroys much of the vitamin content of food, produces a number of toxic byproducts: formaldehyde, benzene, and formic acid, as well as unique radiolytic products, e.g. 2-alklycyclobutanoes, that have been demonstrated to be cytotoxic (damages cells), genotoxic (damages DNA), and carcinogenic (causes cancer) in test tube and animal studies. (View peer-reviewed research on gamma Iirradiation here). How is it that a process that is so obviously detrimental to human health is allowed? There are at least three reasons driving this dangerous process: In the same way that irradiating bacteria contaminated food does nothing to remove the unsanitary processes that cause the underlying problem, in 2006, the FDA passed, without any public review or oversight, the use of bacteriphage virus cocktails to be sprayed on meat, in an attempt to prevent Listeria monocytogenes outbreaks. These bacteria-specific viruses, in theory, lay dormant waiting for virulent and antibiotic-resistant bacteria upon which they prey. Although the FDA only approves the use of lysic bacteriphages which are not believed to alter the DNA of the cells they infect, the possibility of contamination with lysogenic strains which can alter DNA is significant, owing to the fact that these viruses are only between 20 and 200 millionth of a millimeter in size. The FDAs decision to define bacteriophages as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) food additives is premature, and therefore a red flag to those who are concerned about the underlying food safety issues that are not being addressed. With the country still reeling from the implosion of the financial markets, new attention has been placed on the huge trade deficits the US has with its trading partners. One major factor in our increasingly disadvantaged global trading position is our decision to use genetically modified organisms (GMOs), despite growing concern over its short and long term adverse effects on the health of the human body and the environment. For example in 2006 the most significant event in the history of the U.S. rice industry occurred, according to David Coia of the USA Rice Federation trade group, when trace amounts of genetically modified rice was found commingled in the U.S. rice supply. America is one of the only countries in the world which does not require GMO ingredients or foods to be labeled as such. We cant expect the rest of the world to so carelessly experiment on its population with foods that have been profoundly altered to contain potentially toxic gene products from other species, as well as contamination with highly toxic agrichemicals such as Roundup, or similar glyphosate-based formulations. Their reluctance to participate in the largest food experiment in the history of our species is directly reflected in the worlds increasing resistance to accepting food exported from the U.S., which has had huge impacts on our economic well-being. If you wish to withdraw yourself as a guinea pig from this national GMO experiment, remember, the only way you can know for sure that you food is not genetically modified is if it is certified organic, or certified GMO-free. (to learn about the devastating health effects of GMOs, go to seedsofdeception.com) Food quality has become an oxymoron in this country. With the state-sponsored promotion of food irradiation, virus-laden food additives, genetic modification, pesticide usage and raw sewage fertilizer, Americans who dont go out of their way to buy only organic food, are unknowing participants in the largest food experiment ever performed in recorded history. Not too long ago, all cultures considered food sacred for its ability to sustain our physical, emotional and spiritual well being from the ground up. Today, the forces of commodification and naked, unbridled free market capitalism have converted food into devitalized metabolic poisons, which slowly render those who consume them into commodities themselves, i.e. sickened patients, against whom are plied the thousands of branded snake-oil potions conjured up by the conventional medical establishments cauldron-like pharmacopeia. Remember, next time you shop, know that buying organic isnt just about it being more nutritious than conventional food; rather, it provides the only assurance that can still shield you from the veritable minefield of potential health liabilities which is lurking within every supermarket across the land.

1	Obeying the instincts bred into him by millions of years of evolution, Shiner, a 2-year-old golden retriever, incurred his owner's wrath Monday by acting like a dog. 'Stop barking at that damn squirrel!' Terri Solanis shouted at the dog. 'Can't you sit still for five minutes?' Solanis has previously scolded Shiner for sniffing feces encountered on the sidewalk, licking his own groin, and wolfing down his food. 
1	A study released Monday by physicians at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center has concluded that people who spend five or more hours per day sitting are significantly more likely to be comfy than those who do not. Our clinical trials indicate that individuals whose lifestyles involve sitting for less than two hours a day experience far less comfiness than those who sit for longer periods, said the studys head researcher Dr. Stan McGuinness, adding that seated individuals are up to 20 times as likely to be comfy as their standing counterparts. They enjoy a greater number of comfy sensations in their lower torso and leg regions, whereas people who stand for extended periods often develop symptoms such as achy muscles and uncomfy feet. Interestingly, the comfiest people of all are those who sit for most of the day and then spend eight hours or more lying down. McGuinness went on to state that in addition to being comfy, those lying down tend to be far cozier and, in many cases, snugglier. 
2	This Federal Judge Just Took Down Obama For Betraying America According to recent reports, Judge Andrew Hanen recently ruled against the Justice Department, upholding the injunction he placed on Obamas amnesty plan. His defense for doing so was non-enforcement and he criticized DOJ lawyers for lying to the court about whether the amnesty plan had been implemented. Whether by ignorance, omission, purposeful misdirection, or because they were misled by their clients, the attorneys for the government misrepresented the facts, Hanen concluded. He then went on to claim that Obamas own statements prove that he made the right decision in halting the amnesty plan. In summary, the chief executive has ordered that the laws requiring removal of illegal immigrants that conflict with the 2014 DHS directive are not to be enforced, and that anyone who attempts to do so will be punished, Hanen wrote in his statement. This is not merely ineffective enforcement, Hanen added. This is total non-enforcement. What do you think? Do you support Hanen? Should Obama be held to the law? 
2	Obamas True Colors Obama outraged Americans everywhere this week when he compared gay rights to the civil rights movement. This week, he spent his time proclaiming a gay bar in New York City as a national monument. That means it now sits along with George Washingtons birthplace, the Grand Canyon, the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad, President Lincolns Cottage at the Soldiers Home and the Statue of Liberty. If he thinks that is appropriate, he needs a serious reality check. Farmers and blacksmiths who chose revolution over tyranny, he said comparing it to patriots who fought for our freedom. Immigrants who crossed the oceans and the Rio Grande. Women who reached for the ballot, and scientists who shot for the moon. The preachers, and porters, and seamstresses who guided us toward the mountaintop of freedom. The Stonewall Inn was the site of riots in the 1960s, and a place some credit with starting the gay rights movement. The story of America is a story of progress, Obama wrote in an address. Its written by ordinary people who put their shoulders to the wheel of history to make sure that the promise of our founding applies not just to some of usbut to all of us. What do you think? Are Obamas priorities completely twisted? 
2	Concealed Carry Holder Saves Life Of Elderly Woman At a time when our Second Amendment rights are under attack, its important to share stories like these. Recently, a concealed handgun permit holder named David Roberts was able to prevent a fleeing robber from running over a 66-year-old woman named Betty Jones and an 82-year-old woman named Myrna Chumley. According to the Tristate newspaper in Evansville, Illinois, the two women were seated at the food court inside of the mall, when 20-year-olds Brittany Deener and Morgan Blair snatched their purses. The young female suspects then proceeded to flee out the front doors of the mall, with the two elderly ladies chasing after them. The women caught up to the two robbers, and Deener started backing up her car while Jones was right outside of the vehicle. An open door knocked her to the ground. Thats when 33-year-old Roberts stepped in, firing his permitted gun several times into the vehicles tires. If Deener had gone forward, she would have run me over, Jones later told reporters. But instead, he was firing at the tires and she backed up away from me. He was defending me. He was keeping me from being run over. I think, looking at the witness statements and the video, he is justified in his use of a firearm, Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Nicholas Hermann told reporters. What do you think? Do you support what Roberts did? 
2	Obama Tried To Take This Teens Gun, But Her Epic Response Is Going VIRAL This girl knows her way around a gun. Shes been working with guns for over 8 years, and is only 15 years old! She has even become eligible for shooting scholarships around the country. She says that taking away her guns would have taken away her opportunity to go to college. She continues to say that they are violating her constitutional rights, and that taking away guns will not stop crime and shootings. She goes on to mention that Virginia has one of the highest shooting rates, and has not seen improvement through the strict gun laws it currently enforces. Maybe her best point is that less than 1% of shootings are done with rifles. 99% are by handgun. Obamas attempt to strip the nation of its rifles cant possibly be the solution to our problems. Do you agree with this girl? 
3	40 Signs That We Have Seriously Messed Up The Next Generation Of AmericansMichael Snyder, Contributor We feed them insane amounts of sugar and high fructose corn syrup and then when they become overactive we pump them full of prescription drugs to calm them down. Instead of raising our children ourselves, we allow the government schools and the entertainment industry to do it. By the time they reach the age of 18, they have spent far more time with their teachers, their video games and the television than they have spent with us. Our young people are #1 in a lot of global categories, but almost all of them are bad. Young people in the United States are more obese than anyone else in the world, more sexually active than anyone else in the world and they become pregnant more often than anyone else in the world. Of course it probably doesnt help that we have the highest divorce rate in the world either. Our families are a complete and total mess, and it is our kids that are paying the price. One top of everything else, we have accumulated a 16 trillion dollar debt which we will be handing down to the next generation. I am sure that they will appreciate that. The following are 40 signs that we have seriously messed up the next generation of Americans. 1. Approximately 57 percent of all children in the United States are living in homes that are either considered to be either low income or impoverished. 3. In 2011, SAT scores for young men were the worst that they had been in 40 years. 4. The average young American will spend 10,000 hours playing video games before the age of 21. 5. One study discovered that 88 percent of all Americans between the ages of 8 and 18 play video games, and that approximately four times as many boys are addicted to video games as girls are. 6. According to a survey conducted by the National Geographic Society, only 37 percent of all Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can find the nation of Iraq on a map. 7. According to one survey, 50 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 cannot find the state of New York on a blank map. 8. Only 26 percent of Oklahoma high school students know what the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution are called. 9. Only 10 percent of Oklahoma high school students know how many justices sit on the Supreme Court. 10. At this point, 15-year-olds that attend U.S. public schools do not even rank in the top half of all industrialized nations when it comes to math or science literacy. 11. Children in the United States are three times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants than children in Europe are. 12. The United States leads the world in eating disorder deaths. 13. The average American drinks more than 600 sodas every single year. That is by far the most in the world. 14. Back in 1962, only 13 percent of all Americans were obese. Right now, approximately 36 percent of all Americans are obese, and it is being projected that number will rise to 42 percent by 2030. 15. In America today, many families allow the television to raise their children. In fact, the United States is tied with the U.K. for the most hours of television watched per person each week. 16. There are more school shootings in America than anywhere else in the world. 17. The United States has the highest divorce rate on the globe by a wide margin. This is ripping millions of families with children to shreds. 18. Without solid family units, more kids than ever are joining gangs. Today, there are approximately 1.4 million gang members living inside the United States. That number has risen by 40 percent just since 2009. 19. There are more than 3 million reports of child abuse in the United States every single year. 20. If you can believe it, an average of five children die as a result of child abuse in the United States every single day. 21. Sadly, the United States actually has the highest child abuse death rate on the entire globe. 22. Approximately 20 percent of all child sexual abuse victims are under the age of 8. 23. In the United States today, it is estimated that one out of every four girls is sexually abused before they become adults. 24. According to researchers, convicted rapists in the United States report that two-thirds of their victims were under 18, and among those cases 58% said that their victims were 12 years old or younger. 25. The percentage of children living in poverty has risen from 17 percent in 2007 to 22 percent today. 26. Today, one out of every four American children is on food stamps. 27. It is being projected that approximately 50 percent of all U.S. children will be on food stamps at some point in their lives before they reach the age of 18. 28. As I have written about previously, approximately 42 percent of all single mothers in the United States are on food stamps. 29. According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, 36.4 percent of all children that live in Philadelphia are living in poverty, 40.1 percent of all children that live in Atlanta are living in poverty, 52.6 percent of all children that live in Cleveland are living in poverty and 53.6 percent of all children that live in Detroit are living in poverty. 30. It is estimated that up to half a million children may currently be homeless in the United States. 31. It is estimated that child homelessness in the United States has risen by 33 percent since 2007. 32. Right now, approximately 25 million American adults are living with their parents. 33. Law enforcement officials estimate that about 600,000 Americans and about 65,000 Canadians are trading dirty child pictures online. 34. The average high school boy spends two hours watching pornography every single week. 35. An astounding 30 percent of all Internet traffic now goes to pornography websites, and the U.S. produces more pornography than any other nation has in the history of the world. 36. In the United States today, 47 percent of all high school students have had sex. 38. The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate on the entire planet by a wide margin. 39. One survey found that one out of every five teen girls actually wants to be a teen mom. 40. We have borrowed 16 trillion dollars that we expect future generations to repay. We have consigned our children and our grandchildren to a lifetime of debt slavery and they dont even realize it yet. When they do realize what we have done to them they will probably curse us bitterly. You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE This article first appeared here at The Truth.

1	Acting on anonymous tips from within the Hispanic-American community, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on Wednesday deported Luis Miguel Salvador Aguila Dominguez, who for the last 48 years had been living illegally in the United States under the name Lou Dobbs. According to the Department of Homeland Security, federal agents stormed the undocumented immigrant's home in an evening raid just hours after the 64-year-old newscaster suddenly announced that he was resigning from CNN, and immediately placed him on an Aeromexico flight departing from Newark Liberty Airport. 'Dobbs,' around 1970, still returned regularly to Mexico to be with his family and work as a farmer. 'Mr. Dominguez did not come quietly, but in the end he came,' said Sam Whitlock of the U.S. Border Patrol, who was injured during the arrest. 'He pulled a knife on me, like they will, and swore a bunch in Spanish and spit on us when we finally managed to grab him by the serape and throw him against a wall. But the important thing is that he's now back where he belongs.' Evidence collected by investigators indicates that Dominguez/Dobbs, who has long claimed Texas heritage, was actually born in the Mexican state of Puebla to parents of Colombian descent, neither of whom were U.S. citizens. In the summer of his 16th year, he and 14 of his brothers and sisters paid smugglers to let them ride atop packages of cocaine in the cargo hold of a fishing boat bound for Texas under cover of night. In addition to holding multiple jobs without ever obtaining a guest-worker permit or H-1B visa, 'Dobbs' is reported to have collected welfare every month for nearly five decades. He appeared in good health when apprehended, having used Medicaid to obtain numerous health care services over the years, but immigration officials fear he still may have exposed the American population to the many infectious diseases illegal immigrants tend to carry, including both malaria and leprosy. CNN, as per its policy initiated by Dominguez, is complying freely with the ongoing DHS investigation into the multitude of illegal activities in which its former employee was entrenched. 'No one here knew anything about Mr. Dobbs' past, and to be honest, we never asked,' said a source within CNN, who asked not to be identified. 'All we knew was that he was willing to take the job most American newscasters didn't wantnamely, speaking out hysterically against immigration at every turn to help us gain ratings points against Fox News.' After arriving in Texas in 1961, 'Dobbs' is believed to have wandered around the American southeast making a meager living as a car thief, low-level drug dealer, and migrant farm laborer. At age 18, he reportedly delivered an ounce of marijuana to attendees at an Atlanta media conference, where his harsh, booming voice and fiery temper caught the attention of none other than Ted Turner. At the tycoon's urging, the young man shaved his long, drooping mustachios, applied for federal tuition waivers, and took advantage of affirmative-action policies to gain admittance to Harvard University. In 1980, Turner gave him a job at CNN that had previously been held by an American-born reporter. When searching the former newscaster's house in Wantage, NJ, Border Patrol agents found several boxes of horded food stamps, a fully-equipped stolen-car chop shop, a 350-deck DVD pirating warehouse, and a garment facility where up to 100 illegal workers put in 85-hour weeks producing knockoff purses, shoes, and other counterfeit clothing. Many younger members of the Border Patrol team that participated in Wednesday's raid said it was 'an honor and a privilege' to help deport Dominguez, as years of listening to tirades against illegal immigrants on Lou Dobbs Tonight had been a major factor in their choice of career. 'This is a battle for the soul of our country,' Agent Jared Burns, 23, said as he helped the 17 Dominguez children board the bus that would take them to a detention facility where their legal status will eventually be determined. 'Today is a proud day for any true American.' Immediately before press time, 'Dobbs' arrived in Mexico City, and was surrounded by members of the international press. 'Esos hijos de puta sufrirn por esto!' a handcuffed Dominguez shouted at reporters from the tarmac. 'Sin mi vigilancia, mis hermanos y yo nos apresuraramos a la frontera a robar sus carros y a violar sus mujeres. Arriba!' 
1	After 12 years of political controversy, legal delays and statewide referendums, California legislative officials and Los Angeles municipal authorities finally greenlighted a proposal Monday to allow water-poor Los Angeles to begin drawing water for public use from the bodies of the metro area's estimated seven million minority residents. 'With its rich tapestry of black, Asian and Hispanic cultures, Los Angeles' diversity is one of its greatest strengths,' said L.A. mayor Richard Riordan, announcing the plan. 'And with some 15 gallons of water contained within the body of an average 170-pound L.A. minority resident, these people also represent one of our city's great untapped natural resources.' Initially proposed by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation in 1938 and revived by the L.A. Department of Water & Power in 1985, the $10 billion minority-drainage system will draw nearly 100 million gallons of water a year from non-Caucasian residents via an elaborate network of pipelines individually inserted into their bodies. The water will then be pumped to various aquifers and reservoirs throughout the city, where it will be processed and made available for public consumption. According to Department of Water & Power officials, much of the critically needed water will be used to help fill Los Angeles' estimated 1.5 million glamorous in-ground swimming pools. 'Did you know that Mexicans are 65 percent water?' DWP chairman Kurt McFadden said. 'According to our estimates, under the new system, the water from a mere 300 Mexican immigrantslegal or illegalis all it will take to fill the extra-large pool of a studio executive or agent.' McFadden said the minority-drainage plan will have numerous other benefits, as well. 'No longer will the good citizens of places like Santa Monica, Hermosa Beach and Glendale be forced to limit their lawn-watering time to seven hours per day: Soon, they will be able to leave their sprinklers on for literally weeks on end,' he said. 'And with the new system providing up to 350,000 extra gallons of water per day, the city will finally be able to construct those 14 new luxury waterpark tourist facilities it has been planning for so long.' L.A.'s Minority Water Resources Sustaining an adequate water supply has long been among the paramount challenges facing Los Angeles. Located within an arid region that, prior to this century, was incapable of sustaining more than a few tiny outposts of settlers, over the past 100 years the sprawling megalopolis has drained countless lakes and riversmany of them hundreds of miles awayto meet its ever-growing water needs. The new minority-drainage technology, said to be excruciatingly painful to those being drained, passed in a statewide referendum last April by a considerable margin. 'There was a small group that stood strongly opposed to Proposition M,' Los Angeles municipal media-relations liaison Allan Bruford said. 'But it was not enough to constitute a majority rule. It is clear that most Angelenos want this system, regardless of a small, vocal minority.' Despite winning at the polling booth, the new water system had been delayed since April, largely due to unresolved questions regarding which municipalities should receive most of the water; the means by which the individuals to be siphoned will be selected; and what disposal method will be used for the thousands of withered, shrunken human corpses the system produces as waste per hour. With a majority of the questions finally resolved, initial testing of the pipeline will commence next week. African-American males over the age of 65 have been selected as the first group to be siphoned, with different ethnic and age groups slated to be added over the next nine months as the system is raised to full-flow capacity. 'By this time next week,' McFadden said, 'there will be more than 50,000 Watts residents of hydroelectric power coursing through this city.' Despite its many benefits, the project is not without its detractors. 'What the city of Los Angeles is doing is nothing less than an inhuman, criminal violation of the public interest,' Fifth District Councilman Marv Salerno said. 'Under the current plan, the city would need to siphon over 12,000 minority citizens a day just to meet its estimated minimum needs. At that rate, L.A. will have completely exhausted its available supply of minorities by the year 2002. What we need is a sensible long-term minority-conservation policy that will ensure the annual regrowth of enough new minority residents to provide us with an indefinite supply of renewable human water sources.' Responding to Salerno, McFadden said that by the time Los Angeles depletes its own minority supply, the system will be upgraded and augmented to reach minorities in neighboring states. 'Phoenix, AZ, a city rich in Hispanics and blacks, is only 350 miles away,' McFadden said. 'Pipelines many times that length have sent oil from Alaska to the mainland U.S. for decades, so there's no reason to think we can't do it here. L.A. has the technology.'

1	Carefully jotting down notes as the two sat in his small second-floor office on K Street, psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Eccleson patiently let President Barack Obama angrily voice his complaints and grievances about every single American in the nation, sources confirmed Tuesday. While conceding that the president has made some decent progress over the course of several months of therapy, Eccleson told reporters that Obama still has many deep-seated issues with each of the 313 million members of the U.S. populace. This week we continued exploring Baracks resentment about being constantly judged by others, said Eccleson, noting the presidents reliance on unhealthy defense mechanisms to distance himself emotionally from the American public. Again and again I hear things like, No matter how hard I try, nothing is ever good enough for Seattle resident Bryan Harrison. But I keep stressing that, at the end of the day, Barack is a human being and cant expect himself to be perfect. A lot of his feelings of inadequacythinking that no matter how successful he is, he cant live up to peoples expectationsstem from his relationship with his father, Eccleson continued. Thats also at the core of his trust issues with not only Bryan, but also Gail Shaughnessy, Eric Corker, Amy Bergin, and more or less the entire population of Worcester, MA. Eccleson, who has been seeing the president weekly since April, said Obama spends much of his 45-minute sessions fretting over the lack of communication between himself and the nations citizenry. Obama was reportedly overheard claiming that Nebraskans such as Dorothy Perez, Clay Jones, Keith Uriahson, and Heather Conelly dont know what the hell they want, and accused residents of Iowa, Ohio, and Michigan of not even listening when [hes] talking half the time. Barack exhibits many of the classic symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. For example, our talks often return to the aforementioned Bryan Harrison or the 47,000 residents of Santa Cruz County, AZ, who Barack says always focus on my mistakes, but never give me credit for all the things I do well, said Eccleson. So today I asked him how he defines success and failure, and after a few moments he admitted hed never really thought about it before. That was a big breakthrough, Eccleson added. Obama was also reportedly adamant that millions of Americans constantly put him down in public without even considering how that makes [him] feel, and at one point during the session, sources confirmed that Obama sighed, shook his head, and quietly muttered, I just hate them sometimes. What I try to impress upon Barack is that its perfectly normal to get angry at other people, Eccleson said. That its completely fine, say, to disagree with the Peraldi family of Glynn, GA about health care reform. Whats not okay, though, is keeping those feelings pent up inside until they boil over. Were working on ways for Barack to express these emotions in a healthy, mature way, Eccleson continued. But its difficult, because hes been harboring a lot of negativity toward southeast Georgians for a very, very long time. Eccleson confirmed he has been pleased with Obamas improvement under a daily 100-milligram dosage of the antidepressant Zoloft, having recently taken the president off a combination therapy of Klonopin and Effexor due to the medications negative side effects. According to White House sources, prior to seeking out professional counseling, Obama had been suffering from semi-regular panic attacks, bouts of depression, and was prone to lashing out at friends and coworkers, especially when remembering the time Bryan Harrison criticized his stance on immigration as being too soft. It was challenging at first because Barack can become incredibly defensive when hes wrong, said Eccleson, citing instances where the president had furiously accused the entire middle class of holding him to unfair standards. He tends to compartmentalize and then project his fears onto others. I just had to cut him off halfway through one of his rants earlier and ask, Is the city of Cleveland to blame for stagnant unemployment and a dying manufacturing sector, or are you just blaming yourself? He has trouble taking responsibility at times, Eccleson added. Also, I dont think Barack has ever fully come to terms with his biracial background. Though confident that the president will eventually overcome his issues with the American people, Eccleson admitted to reporters that Obama is still a long way away from resolving the litany of complex problems in his marriage.

1	WOODMERE, OH-A wicker basket filled with seashells and placed on top of a toilet tank has magically transformed Dale and Paula Watson's suburban bathroom into a serene tropical oasis, sources reported Thursday. 'I can't believe the difference adding those seashells made,' said Paula Watson, who had somehow been transported from a beige, run-of-the-mill bathroom to an unforgettable island paradise thousands of miles from the Greater Cleveland area. 'Every time I walk in here now it's like, 'Wow, where am I? Cancn?'' According to household sources, the extraordinary transformation took place at approximately 10:32 a.m., when Watson neatly arranged a handful of seashells inside a round wicker container and looked up to suddenly find herself at a beachside resort where all the troubles of modern life just melted away. The magical seashells, which are able to conjure up the cool, tropical breeze of a seaside cabana, were personally gathered by the couple during a recent trip to Myrtle Beach. 'It's like our own little island getaway right at home,' said Dale Watson, who stood as if surrounded by palm trees and soft white sand beaches in the spot where there had only been a shower mat and curtain before. 'I feel like I should be eating grilled mahimahi right now.' 'This is the way life should be,' Watson added. 'Time just slows down in here.' Eyewitnesses agreed that by merely gazing upon the seashell centerpiece, one is whisked away to an enchanted garden, lush with exotic flowers, fluttering hummingbirds, and shirtless natives whose brown skin glistens with sweat as they present trays stacked high with pineapple, mango, and tender cuts of pork. Guests of the Watson home have confirmed that visiting the tropical utopia, which is located at the end of the hallway, second door on the left, light switch above the sink, is a breathtaking experience they will never forget. Grandmother Ilene Watson, 77, said she could spend the rest of her life in the carefree bathroom environment without complaint. 'It's so exotic,' the mesmerized septuagenarian said. 'Just like when Harold and I used to go traveling after the war.' Although delighted with the transformation, Paula Watson said she had plans to improve the 80 square feet of island paradise by adorning the blissful space with vanilla-scented coconut candles, a ceramic clown-fish figurine, and sand-dollar shaped soaps. 'I love our secluded little vacation destination, but we can always spruce it up a little,' Watson said. 'It would be neat to get a large glass container and fill it with beach sand, a piece of coral, and more seashells.' 'It's like bringing the Pacific Ocean to us!' she added. Watson also admitted she's had her eye on a nautical-themed light-switch-plate cover featuring a seahorse, which would further transform the tropical hideaway into the magnificent kingdom of Atlantis, a stunning underwater realm where dolphins and mermaids dance and play. This is not the first time that Watson's home has undergone such an incredible metamorphosis. In 2004, a framed painting of two deer instantly turned the family den into a rustic hunting lodge, while in 2005, the corner of the living room became an old English cottage after a porcelain tea set and a vase with dried flowers were added to an end table. At press time, the tranquility of the secluded tropical getaway had been shattered when Paula Watson walked in on their 16-year-old son, Christopher, masturbating to an old issue of Good Housekeeping. 
1	Midway through Friday night's quadruple-bypass procedure at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, the celebrated but moody cardiac surgeon Dr. Stuart Reinhorn threw down his laser scalpel in apparent disgust at the size of his audience and declared the poorly attended artery-grafting to be over. 'What is this, Lambert County General?' said Reinhorn, who stopped the surgery after a delicate suturing maneuver failed to elicit a rousing response from those in the observation gallery. 'I'm giving the performance of my life, yet I'm treated like some first-year resident sawing off limbs at a community medical center.' After Reinhorn locked himself in the scrub room and refused to come out, undersurgeon Dr. Ken Wilcox, who most recently performed in a Cedars-Sinai appendectomy, attempted a revival of the patient that eventually reduced his audience to tears.

This guard was quick to shut them up. It is requested that everyone maintains a level of silence and respect! That sure did do the trick. Pure silence. Theyre luck he was on duty, and didnt go shut them up with his bare hands. We cant stand people like them. People like this guard restore our faith in humanity. The others not so much.

1	Speaking before the U.S. Senate Tuesday, Herbert Macallum, a retired Wichita, KS, insurance salesman and Navy veteran who fought during World War II to protect the inalienable rights of all Americans, demanded that U.S. citizens stop exercising those rights. WWII veteran Herbert Macallum, seen here marching in a Wichita, KS, Memorial Day parade. 'As someone who risked his life for this country, I am infuriated when I see protesters exercising their First Amendment rights by burning the U.S. flag,' Macallum told legislators during a Senate debate over a proposed anti-flag-burning amendment. 'I didn't fight the Japanese at Midway to save democracy for a bunch of long-haired jerks who want to freely express their views.' 'I love the Constitution, and I nearly lost my life defending it,' Macallum added. 'That's why it angers me so much to see malcontents exploiting it for their own purposes.' Macallum is president of the Kansas Veterans' Council for Liberty & Restraint, one of a number of veterans' organizations calling upon Congress to pass anti-rights-use legislation. Under the provisions of the proposed legislation, any U.S. citizen convicted of exercising his or her Constitutional rights in a manner deemed controversial would face a fine and/or imprisonment. Said KVCLR member Walter Mickleson, 81: 'Wherever you look today, you see people using the First Amendment to openly criticize or protest the U.S. government. I don't think that's what the framers of the Constitution had in mind. And I, for one, didn't storm the beach at Normandy so I could see America dragged through the mud.' 'Men gave their lives for the U.S. Constitution,' WWII veteran Robert Schumer said. 'I'm sure they would weep if they were alive to see it being followed so shamelessly. If you ask me, protesters who object to our government should not be allowed to vote.' KVCLR spokespersons cite such 'societal ills' as flag-burning, pornography, public assembly for the purpose of protest, and the pursuit of 'certain forms of happiness' as their motivation for founding the organization. 'The disorder that plagues American society today is rooted in our gross indulgence in civil liberties,' said KVCLR treasurer and ex-Army pilot Donald Morrow, 79. 'Servicemen fought and died for this great nation, and servicemen know that discipline, obedience and blind faith in one's superiors and country are the key to domestic harmony. Civil disobedience is disrespectful to our government and has no place in a democratic society.' 'I firebombed Dresden in 1945, and I lost a son in Vietnam,' Morrow added. 'What have protesters ever done for this country?' Clarence Johnson, a retired Marine lieutenant who served in the Korean War, agreed. 'When I entered the United States armed forces, I gave up my constitutional rights in order to be a soldier,' Johnson said. 'It was one of the proudest days of my life. I had never exercised my rights much before then, anyway. Let me tell you, if you'd fought and seen friends die to protect the God-given rights of all Americans, you'd want to keep them from exercising them, too.' 
1	Noting the volatility of various retirement products and the long-term uncertainty of global markets, financial advisor Michael Reynolds recommended Tuesday that investors always keep one bullet in the chamber, just in case. Even if youre a more conservative investor who keeps most of your savings in bonds and money market accounts, it just makes a lot of sense to have a round locked and loaded at all times in the event of a major financial market disruption, said Reynolds, who stressed the importance of maxing out yearly IRA contributions and regularly cleaning and oiling the barrel. Its probably the furthest thing from your mind right now, but the time will come when youll want quick access to it. When the kids are off in college and youre nearing retirement age, and all of a sudden theres an emergency, youre really going to thank yourself for making sure you had that one bullet set aside and ready to go. Reynolds added that while at the minimum, investors will want to have a single bullet in the chamber for themselves, ideally, individuals should make sure they have enough so the whole family is taken care of.

3	California Has Never Experienced A Water Crisis Of This Magnitude And The Worst Is Yet To ComeBy Michael Snyder As you read this article, 100 percent of the state is in some stage of drought, and there has been so little precipitation this year that some young children have never actually seen rain. This is alreadythe worst multi-year drought in the history of the state of California, but this may only be just the beginning. Scientists tell us that the amount of rain that California received during the 20th century was highly unusual. In fact, they tell us that it was the wettest century for the state in at least 1000 years. Now that things are returning to normal, the state is completely and total unprepared for it. California has never experienced a water crisis of this magnitude, and other states in the western half of the nation are starting to really suffer as well. In the end, we could very well be headed for the worst water crisis this country has ever seen. When I said that some communities in California are not receiving any more water, I was not exaggerating. Just consider the following excerptfrom one recent news report The community of Mountain House is days away from having no water at all after the state cut off its only water source. Anthony Gordon saves drinking water just in case, even though he never thought it would come to this. My wife thinks Im nuts. I have like 500 gallons of drinking water stored in my home, he said. The upscale community of Mountain House, west of Tracy, is days away from having no water. Its not just about lawnsthere may not be a drop for the 15,000 residents to drink. So what are those people going to do? And what is this going to do to the property values in that area? Who in the world is going to want to buy a home that does not have running water coming to it? Other communities throughout the state are pumping groundwater like crazy in a desperate attempt to continue with business as usual. In fact, it is being projected that groundwater will account for almost all water used in the entire stateby the end of this year Underground aquifers supply 35 percent of the water used by humans worldwide. Demand is even greater in times of drought. Rain-starved California is currently tapping aquifers for 60 percent of its water use as its rivers and above-ground reservoirs dry up, a steep increase from the usual 40 percent. Some expect water from aquifers will account for virtually every drop of the states fresh water supply by year end. But of course this creates a huge problem. When the groundwater is gone, it is gone for good. Those aquifers took centuries to fill up, and now they are being drained at a staggering rate. In some parts of the state, aquifers are being drained so fast that it is causing thousands of square miles of land to sink Californians have beendraining water so rapidly from underground aquifers that tens of thousands of square miles of land reportedly are sinking so drastically that the shifting surface is starting to destroy bridges and crack highways across the state, according to a recentreportby the Center for Investigative Reporting. So what is the solution? Some of my readers have suggested that desalination is the answer. But the truth is that desalination is very expensive and it is really bad for the environment. The following comes from a recentNatural News article For those who are saying, Theres no water problem in California! It has the entire Pacific Ocean right next door!, you need to look into the catastrophic environmental destruction tied to ocean water desalination. Not only does desalination use fossil fuels which emit the very same carbon emissions that the California government insists caused the drought in the first place, the desalination process itself pollutes the ocean with high concentration salt brine that kills marine ecosystems and destroys ocean life along the California coastline. And thats on top of all the Fukushima radiation thats already causing a marine ecosystem collapse in many areas of the coast. Add more salt brine to the mix and you get a state where rich, self-entitled Hollywood celebrities demand their lush, green lawns at the expense of ocean life, climate change and the global ecosystem. If that happens, California will lose all credibility as a green state, and its wealthiest residents will be living an ecological lie. Others have suggested that California can solve their water problems usingtoilet to tap technology Potable water reuse or converting sewage effluent to heavily-treated, purified drinking water is receiving renewed attention in California in the midst of the states four-year drought. According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, California water managers and environmentalists are pushing the idea of recycled sewage water. Yet past efforts in the state to employ similar systems have stalled, as opponents have dubbed the concept toilet to tap. How would you feel about that? Would you be willing to have your family drink water that came from the toilets of your neighbors? But something has to be done. It is not just the state of California that is experiencing a major water crisis. All over the world, underground aquifers are being drained rapidly. In fact,according to the Washington Post, 21 out of the 37 largest aquifers in the world have passed their sustainability tipping points The worlds largest underground aquifers a source of fresh water for hundreds of millions of people are being depleted at alarming rates, according to new NASA satellite data that provides the most detailed picture yet of vital water reserves hidden under the Earths surface. Twenty-one of the worlds 37 largest aquifers in locations from India and China to the United States and France have passed their sustainability tipping points, meaning more water was removed than replaced during the decade-long study period, researchers announced Tuesday. Thirteen aquifers declined at rates that put them into the most troubled category. The researchers said this indicated a long-term problem thats likely to worsen as reliance on aquifers grows. Sadly, this is just the beginning. There is a reason why experts refer to fresh water as the new oil. Without fresh water, none of us can survive. But we are very quickly getting to the point where there simply wont be enough of it for everyone on the planet. As for the state of California, it was once a desert and now it is turning back into a desert. As I mentioned earlier, the 20th century was the wettest century that part of North America had seen in at least 1000 years. During that time, we built enormous cities all over the Southwest that currently support millions upon millions of people. But now we are learning that those cities are not sustainable.

3	The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory PropagandaAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton Aimed at the casual grocery shopper, a quick answer to every conspiracy question you ever had all rolled up into one (or, alternately just make up your own explanation). That is, look away from the marketplace of conspiracy ideas, awakening and alternative thinking available on the Internet, and instead put your trust in the manufactured glossy media that is packaged and sold in stores. Just never mind the real life conspiracies used to start wars, loot and pillage countries, take out leaders and fleece everyday people; the mainstream media wants you to digest conspiracy culture as a phenomenon of intrigue not as a reality of assassinations, secret information, NSA spying, false flag terror events, monetary schemes, societal manipulation and shadow control.

Ill get that with bacon, extra mayo, and ranch dressing, said the 32-year-old account manager, who reportedly lowered his voice to a whisper while craning his neck to double-check that the coast was still clear. Make sure to hold the lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Does it cost extra to swap the side salad for the chili cheese fries?

1	Responding to critics who contend that safer and more humane techniques exist to ascertain voters political positions, statistician Nate Silver appeared on several cable news programs Monday to defend the controversial torture methods he uses to project election results. Its not easy to accurately forecast how a given state or demographic will vote, and sometimes there is simply no other option than enclosing blindfolded voters in a confinement box and blaring loud, continuous music at them to keep them awake for 100 hours or more, said Silver, stressing that he had extracted many crucial responses that helped him correctly predict all 50 states results during the 2012 general election by shackling registered voters from the ceiling in stress positions until they finally divulged the issues that mattered to them most. What you have to understand is that were working on a highly time-sensitive schedule and need to get these projections right. So, yes, if stripping a second-generation Latino millennial voter naked, forcing him to stand in his own excrement, and then holding back a snarling German shepherd inches from his throat gives us a clearer understanding of where the nation stands on immigration reform, then thats a choice I would gladly make every time. Silver added that, with the exception of occasionally using pliers to tear out the fingernails of those he suspected of lying to him about their preferred candidate, none of his methods have ever been proven to cause permanent damage.

'After being married to Paul for six long years, I have as much of a claim to that song as he does,' Mills said of the pop masterpiece penned two years before her birth, which will henceforth be credited to 'Mills-McCartney-Lennon.' 'But I'm not going to back down until I get everything I deserve, and that includes recognition for the guitar solo on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps.'' A spokesperson for Mills said that the former glamour model will seek further damages in the form of having herself Photoshopped into all existing images of the iconic 1969 Abbey Road album cover. 
3	The Psychology of SurvivalDaisy Luther No one wants to accept that something horrible has happened. The human brain is configured in a way that it is in our very nature to deny that something outside our normal paradigm has occurred. This is called cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the feeling of discomfort when simultaneously holding two or more conflicting cognitions: ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactionsDissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by changing ones belief, the dissonance can result in restoring consonance through misperception, rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others. (source) But in a crisis situation, denial can be deadly. These are the phases of psychological reactions in a crisis: Denial People do not want to believe the event occurred or is occurring. They simply cannot accept, for example, that a plane just deliberately crashed into the building where they are working. Delay People often opt to do something to delay the acceptance of what is going on. They might tidy up, put away food in the refrigerator, or methodically gather belongings to give themselves another few moments of perceived normalcy. Acceptance People then accept that this crisis is indeed occurring. Consideration At this point most people begin to consider their best course of action. Others are so overwhelmed by the situation that they shut down and have to be aided by first responders or other victims of the crisis in order to survive. Action Finally, a course of action is chosen and implemented. Some examples of this could be escape, evacuation, fighting back, performing first aid on injured people, or fortifying their position. Interviews with people who escaped the World Trade Center after the 9/11 disaster, those who survived plane crashes, and others who lived through fires, all describe how they instantly froze when the devastating incidents occurred. Despite the fact that their very lives were at risk, structures were crumbling, or they were the victim of people who were intent on harming them, they could not immediately accept that the event was occurring. Many people talked about gathering up documents or personal belongings before heading for the stairwells on 9/11. People in plane crashes often grab their carry-on bags, despite flight attendants warnings to leave them behind. People in house fires will often try to grab photo albums or possessions before escaping the building. The response is very common, and it is a function of a brain that doesnt want to accept the dreadful reality: people busy themselves with things which are mundane in an attempt to delay accepting the current situation. While these stories are from survivors who did manage to escape with their lives, there are likely many others who did not live because their brains simply refused to accept that something so horrible could be occurring. Dr. A. R. Roberts performed a psychological study in 2000, which he reported on in his Crisis Intervention Handbook. Roberts noted these common reactions in the midst of a crisis: (source) During military training, recruits are put into situations that train them to immediately assess a situation and instantly choose a course of action. This allows them to act more quickly than other people, and it gives them an advantage in many scenarios. The key, though, is not just to simply act as soon as an event occurs. It is to speed up your actual decision-making process. One way to do that is by skipping the cognitive-dissonance phase. You must go through the above reactions quickly or not at all in order to respond quickly. If you can immediately accept that something out of the ordinary has occurred, you will be able to move on to the assessment phase instead of wasting precious reaction time convincing yourself that the event itself has occurred. You can improve your reaction to crisis Speeding up your reaction to unexpected circumstances is a two-fold process. It is both physical and mental. Think about an athlete. If you throw a ball, even unexpectedly, his immediate reaction is to put up his hand and catch the ball before it hits him in the face. His muscle-memory has kicked in and this is his automatic response. A non-athlete might react differently. He might stand there and get hit with the ball or put up his arm to block the ball, but his first reaction might not be to try and catch it. The athlete has spent many hours catching and throwing, so his body is already prepared to do that in a split second. As well, sports like boxing or martial arts hone your reflexes and teach your muscles to instantly respond in a certain way. When police officers and members of the military are undergoing training, they spend many hours at the shooting range to make their weapon an automatic extension of their arm. Here are some ways to keep your physical reflexes sharp (or to improve them if they are a bit rusty): Use it or lose it. If you have a desk job, you may not spend enough time being active. Take some time every day to toss a ball around, to go to the gym, to hike, or to go for a run. Learn to fight. Martial arts, boxing, krav maga: all of these are great exercise and great training. Perform a balancing act. Little kids love to walk on curbs, blocks of concrete, or anything else that can serve as an impromptu balance beam. As adults, most of us spend little time practicing our balance. Try walking on the curbs right along with your kids, climbing, or going to yoga. Help your body remember what it is to use balance. Cardio. In the event of an emergency, you dont want to be huffing and puffing after youve gone down two flights of stairs. Get your heart in shape and keep it that way with regular cardiovascular exercise that gets your heart rate up. Practice, practice, practice.You can create muscle memory by repeating something over and over until it becomes as natural to you as breathing. Go to the range and practice shooting your weapon. Practice archery. Play catch. Do agility drills. All of these things prepare your body to respond instinctively in an emergency, which can shave precious seconds off of your response time. Equally important, if not more so, is improving your mental response to a crisis. As was discussed above, people tend to squander time dilly-dallying over the acceptance of the fact that the event is actually occurring. If youre reading this article, more than likely it is because you have already mentally accepted the fact that sudden emergencies occur, and that puts you one step ahead. Run scenarios. No one can be mentally prepared for everything, but by imagining situations in which a crisis occurs, you can train your brain to look for solutions. You will have already overcome a portion of that cognitive dissonance that says This cant be happening to me. My kids and I do this when watching movies. Sometimes we stop the movie and discuss what we could do if a similar incident happened to us. Theyve taken it a step further and sometimes bring up a scenario when we are out. We run through our options and talk about the pros and cons of a course of action. Dont live in a bubble. Be aware of trends in the news. For example, there has been a spate of horrific attacks across the country called knock-out attacks. In this so-called game, a group of teens, for sheer amusement, brutally assaults an innocent victim. If you know that this something going on in your area, you can sometimes recognize the situation immediately and pass that moment of cognitive dissonance. This allows you to respond and defend yourself quickly and decisively. Be aware of your surroundings. If you are glued to your iPhone or otherwise oblivious to that which is going on around you, then its going to take you longer to assess the crisis. Actually its going to take you longer to realize the crisis is even going on. A person who practices situational awareness will often observe unusual behavior and be in response mode before the crisis is fuly developed. For example, they might notice suspicious behavior from another patron in the store before that patron whips out a gun and tries to rob the clerk. This would give the observer a distinct advantage because theyd already be moving on to the consideration step in the crisis process while everyone else in the store was still on step 1, denying that they had found themselves in the middle of a hold-up. Stop poisoning yourself. Finally, stop poisoning yourself. Our society is dumbed down on prescription drugs, fluoride in the water, and toxins added to our food supply. Many people walk around in a perpetual haze, dulled by the things that they consume. Antidepressants, ADD drugs, and other medications can slow the thought processes. Fluoride quite literally drops your IQ. Neurotoxins like MSG and artificial sweeteners kill brain cells. Keep your body pure and watch your reaction times and thought processes improve. By understanding the natural human responses to crises, we can cut our personal reaction times. Hopefully you are never in a 9/11-style attack, present at a convenience store robbery, or caught in a natural disaster, but if you are, your ability to accept the situation, think quickly, and take action could save the lives of you and your loved ones.

3	Aunt of Accused Boston Bombers Says They Are Being Set Up. Staged Attack?Joe Martino Since the day of the bombing, many were already noticing a large number of irregularities in the story as odd unmarked SUVs were spotted with special service men stationed at various points around where the bombs went off. There were bomb sniffing dogs at the finish line of the event and there has also been word released that a bomb drill was taking place that very day at the event. During several media conferences, when independent reporters asked real questions about these vehicles, the events that occurred and why there were so many irregularities, police and other officials simply shook their heads and abruptly ended the interviews. It is clear that they are hiding something or at least afraid to answer any real questions. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	In an alarming trend that some are calling a failure of U.S. drug prevention policies, daily marijuana use increased nearly threefold this month among 26-year-old Gary. Researchers at the Department of Health and Human Services are attributing the spike in cannabis consumption to a number of troubling factors, including Gary- related underemployment, decreased motivation, and prolonged exposure to Josh. 'This is very distressing, to say the least,' said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, who blamed the increase on a lack of programs designed to educate Gary about the dangers of marijuana. 'As a nation, it is vital that we learn how to talk to Gary about drugsand how to listen to what he's trying to tell us.' 'We've failed to recognize warning signs such as boredom and a growing need to just chill out,' Sebelius added. 'But we intend to use every resource at our disposal to meet our goal of cutting marijuana use among Gary by half over the next 10 years.' A recent survey conducted by HHS suggests that the drug's recent popularity with Gary might be linked to his girlfriend Laura working longer hours lately, to his recent acquisition of a quarter ounce of weed, or to his growing belief that it is socially acceptable to be stoned as fuck all day long. According to federal records, daily Gary marijuana use began at age 15 and rose steadily over the next two years, only to plummet dramatically in 2001 when Gary's mother discovered the remains of a joint in an Altoids container on his dresser. Despite the momentary decline, usage began creeping back up to previous levels almost immediately, with intake peaking in 2005 following the purchase of a sweet 3-foot glass bong. 'Our efforts to keep marijuana out of the hands of Gary have clearly been insufficient,' said Benjamin Whitmore, a researcher with the National Institute on Drug Abuse who recently found evidence that Gary can easily obtain pot from that one guy who always scores the super dank shit with all the crystals. 'He already smoked his half of the bag he split with Kevin, and now he's dipping into the rest of it. We're looking at a full-blown, Gary-wide crisis here.' Whitmore's study indicates that constantly being fried can have a variety of negative effects on Gary, including a sharp uptick in the viewing of crappy movies and a noted decrease in Pop-Tart reserves. In addition, being so fucking stoned all the time can affect job productivity, with Gary often delivering pizzas to the wrong house, or just showing up in customers' living rooms without thinking to bring their orders. One local marijuana expert confirmed that the drug has become a regular routineand even a lifestylefor Gary. 'Dude, he's been smoking up like crazy,' roommate Chip Nichols said while carefully breaking apart a bud on the sleeve of Herbie Hancock's 1974 record Thrust. 'It's awesome. First thing each day he wakes and bakes, and then an hour later he's yelling that we've got to pack another bowl. He usually stops home between pizza deliveries to pull a couple tubes before driving back to work.' Continued Nichols, 'Dude, he's been smoking up like crazy.' Nichols said that pot-smoking among Gary had steadily dropped off in 2009, reaching an all-time low early this February, a circumstance possibly connected to Laura's increasingly vocal disapproval of his habit and to Gary's dealer getting busted. Despite her criticism of federal policies that have failed to reverse the trend in Gary, Secretary Sebelius said the nation should be heartened by new reports that marijuana use has completely ceased among Chicago resident Erica, who recently got really high and totally freaked out while watching Starship Troopers. 
2	WATCH THIS: Think Israel Wont Bomb Iran... Think Again Some have been quick to underestimate Israel, and their willingness to take action against their potentially nuclear-armed enemy Iran. But Israel has defended itself before, and it could very likely do it again. In 1981, Israel defied Washington when they launched a clandestine air strike against Saddam Husseins nuclear program in Iraq. That action managed to destroy a threat that had existed for years in just hours. And in 2007, Israel launched Operation Orchard without the consent of America, destroying the nascent Syrian nuclear program which was being established with the help of North Korea. President Obama should not underestimate Israel. Do you agree?

They are probably not pleased, then, that their 18-year-old daughter Malia has been caught partying on camera several times in the last few years. That must be particularly frustrating for Michelle, who takes it upon herself to tell other Americans how to raise their children. From scandalous nights out in LA, to revealing wardrobe choices, Malia has proven herself to be quite the wild child. She was recently spotted at Lollapaloozaa music festival notorious for heavy drinking and drug use. Of course, she is under age. Some believe Malia is on her natural path. Many girls with a dictator-like father decide to act out against their authority. We hope for her sake he doesnt make decisions at home the same way he does in the White House.

The allergy medication that caused a sinful reaction in Mormon youth Enoch Zachariah Young (inset). 'You hear about things like this happening in non-LDS communities, but I never thought it could happen to one of God's true elect, to one of our own,' Ruth Mary Young, the boy's mother, told reporters from the Mormon News Network cable channel. 'The poor boy's allergies act up so bad during these hot desert summers here in the Chosen Land, and I guess he let temptation get the better of him.' 'May Jesus Christ, and his prophet on Earth, Joseph Smith, have mercy on his immortal soul,' added Young before collapsing in tears. At approximately 8 a.m., while refilling the pamphlet rack at a local grocery store before school, Young said he began to experience a runny nose, itchy throat, and severe headache. Fearing the symptoms would cause him to miss that afternoon's tryouts for the school play, The Reign And Ministry Of Nephi, he purchased a box of Benadryl and took the recommended two tablets. Several hours later, shortly before English class at West Jordan High School, Young succumbed to temptation and took yet another Benadryl. For the next four hours, the youth exhibited signs of severely lowered inhibitions, sparking 'rampant chaos and terror' among his fellow Saints at the all-Mormon public school. 'A few of the children began to notice that something was seriously wrong with Enoch around noon,' said math teacher Elder Ezra Fielding Widstoe. 'Apparently, he told a female classmate that he liked her dress. Then he asked if anyone had any gum.' An hour later, on the way to the pencil sharpener, Young performed what students described as 'a little dance.' It is assumed that Young's intent was to amuse his classmates, who were quietly working at their desks at the time. Young's outrageous behavior escalated over the next several hours. Witnesses reported that, while crossing the street from school to the temple to attend afternoon religious classes, Young removed his sweater vest. As his final manic act before classmates alerted officials, Young held up a prayer book featuring a picture of Joseph Smith, founding prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and referred to him 'Good Ol' Joe.' 'Impropriety such as this among the covenant people of the Lord!' exclaimed classmate John W. Pritchett, who witnessed the wild behavior firsthand. 'This is hardly the sort of conduct that is appropriate for an heir to the ancient covenant between God and Abraham.' According to Mormon officials, The Word Of Wisdom, the prophetic Latter-Day Saints health code given by revelation in 1833, prohibits the use of tobacco, strong drink, tea, and coffee. While the use of Benadryl is not specifically discussed in the gospel, church elders believe that the drug is prohibited due to its dangerous mood-altering side effects, including nervousness, excitability, and drowsiness. Upon learning of their son's antics, Young's parents rushed to school to participate in an intervention attended by the school principal, his guidance counselor, and a group of five church leaders. As Young lay on a cot, his sisters and brethren prayed in a circle around him. He then further shocked the assemblage by stating, 'I've always found the The Book Of Helaman kind of boring,' before falling into a deep sleep. Young is currently recovering at the home of his family's patriarch, 91-year-old great-grandfather Joachim Jeremias Young. Further information about his condition is not available, as Joachim Jeremias declined to speak to 'the secular press.' 
2	Miss Wisconsin Destroys CNN With Amazing Story Of How Trump Saved Her Life [VIDEO] Hillary Clinton and the liberal media have been trying to villainize Donald Trump since the inception of his campaign. Last week, Clinton attempted to slander Trump once more, using the former Miss Universe Alicia Machado as a tool. That story may be a compelling one, but the truth is that many other beauty pageant contestants have a very different view of Trump. According to the Former Miss Wisconsin, Donald Trump saved her life. She describes being in the hospital on her deathbed, when Donald Trump sent her a letter, written, to the bravest woman I know. She claims Trump continuously checked up on her, and showed her extreme kindness. Watch the full interview here, and tell us what you think: http://www.snappytv.com/tc/2912513 
2	BREAKING: Obama Has Finally Left The Building... Its Time To Celebrate How does this make you feel now that Obama has officially departed from the capitol? For the first time in eight years well look to a new C and C. Many Americans have mixed feelings: excitement, relief, and so many others. Not everyone supported Obama as is clearly evident but over the last eight years Americans of differing ideology conducted themselves with class and respect for the democratic process. Sharing truthful news and staying politically active was championed by so many everyday Americans during Obamas term where so many wanted to make sure our rights were kept intact. Now instead of playing defense though many feel as if we can finally begin moving forward to the America we shouldve been acting like all along. 
3	Watch Activists Airdrop Flyers onto an NSA Base Urging Agents to Quit Their JobsBy Carey Wedler Peng!, a tactical media and activist group, used a remote-controlled plane to drop fliers over a U.S. military base in Germanythat serves as the NSAs European hub of signals intelligence known as the Dagger Complex. The fliers were designed by Intelexit, the specific campaign Peng! launched to encourage security agency employees to quit their jobs. A video posted to YouTube shows footage from the remote-controlled plane intercut with panoramic shots of the flying overhead. If the groups past efforts are any indication, the fliers likely appealed to security agency employees sense of morality. Last week, Peng! and Intelexit launched a billboard advertising campaign near the NSAs Fort Meade headquarters, the GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters, the U.K.s spy agency) facility, and the Dagger Complex in Darmstadt, Germany. Outside the Dagger Complex, a billboard reads, [L]isten to your heart, not to private phone calls. Outside the GCHQ headquarters in Cheltenham, an ad quips that the intelligence community needs a backdoor. One sign attached to a van that circled Fort Meade last week read, Hoped to serve your people? Ended up spying on them? Exit Intelligence. Fridays air-dropped fliers constitute another tactic of Peng! and Intelexits campaign to reach employees who may have reservations about their careers. We know for a fact that there are many, many people working there who are conflicted, anxious and ultimately completely against what these agencies are doing, said Ariel Fischer, a pseudonymous spokesperson for Intelexit. The fliers and ads direct potential surveillance defectors to the Intelexit website, which, as WIRED summarized, features a set of arguments against working in surveillance, a tool for composing a resignation letter based on a survey of principles an intelligence employee can fill out, and a video featuring testimonials from figures like crypto guru Bruce Schneier and NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake. Drake is a former NSA employee who exposed the agencys invasive and costly Trailblazer program in 2005. He was pushed out of the agency, lost his security clearance, and was indicted for leaking documents, only to have his charge reduced to a misdemeanor since he did not leak classified documents to a reporter. Drake joined the Intelexit project in order to show others on the inside that it is possible to leave the intelligence community. The NSA declined to comment on Intelexits billboard campaign last week, though the GCHQ insisted its standards and practices are moral. The work of GCHQ is carried out within a strict legal framework and there is no question of anyone being asked to do anything unlawful or which they consider to be unethical, a statement said. GCHQ actively encourages staff to discuss any concerns they might have about their work and we pride ourselves on the structures we have in place to support this. Though GCHQ seems confident in its adherence to strict ethical standards, Peng! and Intelix hope to inspire conscientious objection among security employees. As Drake told WIRED last week, In some cases you do need a mirror that shows you that you have the choice to leave. And knowing that there are people who have gone through this before helps make that choice. The flier and ad campaigns are accompanied by ongoing fax, email, and phone call campaign to NSA employees.

2	BREAKING: Terrifying News Released About Terrorist Attack In New York City According to recent reports, a bomb was detonated on Saturday in New York, and another explosive device was found nearby. Investigations revealed that both were shrapnel-filled pressure cookers, similar to the bombs used at the 2013 Boston Marathon. The New York Times said the two devices used flip phones and Christmas lights to trigger the explosive. The blast ended up injuring 29 people in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. Though officials have ruled this an act of terror, as of yesterday morning no motive or suspect has been identified. The second device was found just four blocks from the site of the explosion and was removed before it was detonated. New York governor Andrew Cuomo confirmed it was similar in design to the exploded device. Both were different than the pipe bomb that detonated earlier during a charity race in New Jersey. Fortunately, that explosion did not end in injuries. So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Of course, many question whether this has connections to ISIS. Was it a political motivation? A personal motivation? We do not know, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio commented. We know there was a bombing. We know its a very serious incident. But we have a lot more work to do to be able to say what kind of motivation was behind this. All possible theories of whats happened here and how it connects will be looked at but we have no specific evidence at this point in time. Approximately 1,000 extra security personnel are being deployed to New Yorks transport hubs following the incident, police confirmed. Well update you as more information arises on this matter. 
1	Still reeling from the loss of quarterback Chris Simms and desperate to shore up the second-worst offense in the NFL, the 2-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Monday that they had signed Clay Manningson of Saints legend Archie Manning and the legendary long-lost fourth Manning brotherto a two-year, $3.2 million contract. 'We're proud to have Clay aboard here in Tampa Bay,' said Bucs owner Malcolm Glazer in a press conference held at the team's practice facility. 'It was extremely difficult tracking him down, of course, as his family was not in contact with him, and the only thing we had to go on was that he was wandering the nation, working odd jobs, doing good deeds, and playing in pickup games. But now that he's here, we expect him to start immediately.' Clay, the younger brother of Cooper and Peyton Manning and older brother of Eli, was a highly recruited high-school quarterback prospect, but decided to attend Princeton University after graduation, saying he 'did not like football or find the game particularly challenging.' He left college as a junior in 1999 following an argument with his father over his decision not to join the football team and concentrate on his philosophy degree. Though he failed to complete college due to his family refusing to pay his tuition, Manning was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft by the Arizona Cardinals; despite emotional appeals from his brothers, parents, and Cardinals management, Clay declined to sign. Aside from occasional postcards to his mother, Clay Manning had not been heard from until Buccaneers scouts found him working in a bean field outside Nacogdoches, TX last week. 'It's humbling to have this chance to turn this team around,' said Manning, who stunned coaches in his first practice Wednesday by throwing for 227 yards and four touchdowns on 17 of 19 completions during two full-pads scrimmage quarters despite not playing organized football since he graduated high school in 1996. 'But let me make one thing perfectly clear: I am only doing this for the fans. I cannot ethically stand by and allow the good people of Tampa Bay to despair.' Manning has further specified that he will relinquish the team to former starter Chris Simms once Simms is cleared to play; that the entirety of his salary would be used to create college scholarships for needy Florida students; and that he is requesting a small chamber in the Buccaneers' practice facility, ideally 12 feet by 12 feet with a single window, in which to live. 'After my work here is done, and I have helped energize our struggling running game by making defenses play the pass, especially downfield and across the middle, I will resign from the team,' Manning said. 'It is not utterly inconceivable that we could make the playoffs.' Coach Jon Gruden said he was 'absolutely stunned' by Manning's performance. 'You can't teach that passing motion,' said Gruden, who quit calling plays halfway through Wednesday's intrasquad game when it became apparent that Manning had already memorized the playbook and mastered Gruden's audible system. 'Or that precision. Or that field vision. Or What play did he just call? Is that in the playbook? How did he avoid that linebacker? Anyway, whatever. Touchdown, again.' The Mannings would not say whether or not they had attempted to contact Clay. However, both Peyton and Archie Manning took the opportunity to address the media concerning the brother they had previously never mentioned. 'It's good to see Clay out there doing what I believe he was born to do,' said Peyton, who has not spoken to his brother in over a decade. 'I just wish he'd listened when Dad told him he was born to do this. Also, I'm disappointed he hasn't done any commercials.' 'This is a good sign,' said patriarch Archie, who said he would consider speaking to his estranged son if he finished the season with a winning record. 'I was beginning to think I had not completely succeeded as a father. Now I see I was wrong.' 'With the possible exception of my long-lost daughter Alicia, of course,' added Manning. 'A daughter? Me? I can't have that.' 
1	Following an exhaustive 18-month study examining all major American and international sports, a new report published Tuesday by Xavier Universitys Department of Sport Studies revealed that holding a trophy high above ones head remains the number one technique for celebrating a championship. The data is conclusive in showing that raising a trophy with one or both arms fully extended up into the air is still by far the preferred method for capping off a title win, said lead researcher Michelle Howe, adding that in such cases, 58 percent of athletes firmly grip the trophy with one hand while raising their other hand in a triumphant fist pump, 72 percent briefly bring the trophy back down to face level in order to kiss it before lifting it above their head again, and a further 34 percent opt for the more unorthodox approach of lifting the trophy together with a coach or teammate. Hugging a trophy to your chest, holding up one index finger, and shouting Number one, baby! into a nearby camera has become increasingly popular recently, but it is still a distant second.' The report went on to confirm that lifting a trophy above ones head continues to be predominantly followed by striding into a locker room, spraying teammates with champagne, and eventually heading to the nearest strip club.

3	Moving Toward A One World Government, A One World Economy And A One World ReligionBy Michael Snyder From September 25th to September 27th, the United Nations launched a new universal agenda for humanity. Those are not my words, they actually come directly out of the core document for this new agenda. The Pope traveled to New York City to give the address that kicked off this conference, thus giving his considerable endorsement to this new plan. Virtually every nation on the entire planet willingly signed up for the 17 goals that are included in this plan, but this stunning turn of events made very few international headlines. The United Nations is promising that if we all work together that we can turn our planet into some kind of utopia, but the truth is that all of this talk about unity masks a very insidious agenda. The following comes from a recent piece byPaul McGuire, the author of a groundbreaking new book entitled The Babylon Code The UN is not asking permission, but issuing a command that the entire planet will commit to 17 sustainable development goals and 169 sustainable development targets designed to radically transform our world by 2030. The UN 2030 plan promoted by the Pope will advance Agenda 21 on steroids. Through a controlled media the mass populations will be told that this is all about saving the environment and ending poverty. But that is not the true agenda of Agenda 21. The true agenda of Agenda 21 is to establish a global government, global economic system, and global religion. When UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon spoke of a dream of a world of peace and dignity for all this is no different than when the Communists promised the people a workers paradise. For the general population, the 2030 Agenda has been rebranded as the global goals. On September 26th, some of the biggest names in the music world (including Beyonce) promoted these new global goals at the Global Citizen Festival that was held in Central Park. And you can watch a YouTube video where some of the most famous names on the entire planet urge all of us to get behind these new global goals right here. None of this is by accident. We are being trained to think of ourselves as global citizens that belong to a global community. Decades ago, most Americans would have been up in arms over something like this. But now most people just seem to accept these changes passively. Very powerful secret societies and international organizations have been moving us in this direction for a very long time, and most Americans simply have no idea what is happening. Here is morefrom Paul McGuire The United Nations is a de facto global government and does not rule by the consent of the governed. The United Nations is a global government to which American politicians of both parties have surrendered our Constitutional rights. If you look at the Republican Presidential debates you see the vast majority of those running are bought men and women. They are there to do the bidding of their true masters, the international banking families and their interlocking secret societies. If a candidate has a different set of beliefs than the Orwellian group think which constitutes domestic and foreign policy, he is allowed to go only so far. Who are these powerful elite groups and the secret societies that run them? As we extensively document in our new book, The Babylon Code, co-authored by this author and Troy Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist, there exists a very real network of semi-secretive and secret groups. Groups like The Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission, Royal Institute of International Affairs, United Nations, Club of Rome, The Bilderberg Group, and others control presidents, prime ministers, media networks, politicians, CEOs, and entire nations. You will almost never hear any substantive analysis by the media, which is controlled by these groups nor of attempts at holding them accountable by governments around the world. Another way that our planet is being united is through the use of international trade agreements. The ultimate goal is for the entire world to become a single market with uniform laws, rules and regulations. But as we merge our economy with the rest of the globe, the United States has been losing tens of thousands of businesses and millions of jobs as the monolithic corporations that now dominate our economy shift production to areas where labor is much cheaper. This is absolutely destroying the middle class, but very few people seem to care. Negotiations for one of the biggest international trade treaties that the world has ever seen recently concluded. The Trans-Pacific Partnership, also known as Obamatrade, would represent a giant step toward a truly unified global economy. The following is an excerpt from one of my previous articles We have just witnessed one of the most significant steps toward a one world economic system that we have ever seen. Negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership have been completed, and if approved it will create the largest trading bloc on the planet. But this is not just a trade agreement. In this treaty, Barack Obama has thrown in all sorts of things that he never would have been able to get through Congress otherwise. And once this treaty is approved, it will be exceedingly difficult to ever make changes to it. So essentially what is happening is that the Obama agenda is being permanently locked in for 40 percent of the global economy. The United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam all intend to sign on to this insidious plan. Collectively, these nations have a total population of about 800 million people and a combined GDP of approximately 28 trillion dollars. And do you want to know who pushed really hard to give Obama fast track negotiating authority so that these negotiations could be brought to a successful conclusion? It was the traitorous Republican leadership in Congress. They did everything that they could to pave the way for Obamatrade. We are also seeing some stunning moves in the direction of a one world religion. In recent years, you may have noticed that it has become very trendy to say that all religions are just different paths to the same God. In fact, many prominent religious leaders are now openly proclaiming that the two biggest faiths on the entire planet, Christianity and Islam, worship the exact same deity. For example, just consider what the Pope is saying publicly on this matter. The following is an extended excerpt from one of my recent articles on End of the American Dream ***** What Pope Francis had to say at St. Patricks Cathedral in Manhattan has received very little coverage by the mainstream media, but it was exceedingly significant. The followingis how he began his address I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca. In this moment, I give assurances of my prayers. I unite myself with you all. A prayer to almighty god, all merciful. He did not choose those words by accident. In Islam, Allah is known as the all-merciful one. If you doubt this, just do a Google search. And this is not the first time Pope Francis has used such language. For instance, the following comes from remarks that he made during his very first ecumenical meeting as Pope I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity. The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions I wish to repeat this: promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions it also attests the valuable work that the Pontifical Council for interreligious dialogue performs. Pope Francis clearly believes that Christians and Muslims worship the exact same God. And so that helps to explain why he authorized Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran at the Vatican for the first time ever back in 2014. ***** What is happening is undeniable. We are steamrolling toward a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion. Of course we will not get there overnight. It is going to take some time, and there are going to be quite a few bumps along the way. In fact, I believe that our planet will experience an extreme amount of chaos before we actually get there. But every major crisis will be used as an excuse to advance this agenda. Virtually every solution that the elite offer us will involve more globalization and more centralization. We will be told that all of our problems will be solved if humanity will just come together in unity. For some, the goal of a united planet where we are all working together to eradicate things like poverty, war and disease makes all the sense in the world. For others, a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion would simply mean setting the stage for one world tyranny. So what do you think?

Follow him on Twitter here. Im always grateful to see somebody, like Michael Snyder, that is aware of the truth. I have been studying Bible prophecy for a good five years now, and this article seems to help in placing the pieces of the puzzle together. I may never obtain an accurate pin point of Gods time table, but Im always learning the true meaning of prophecy as it has been written in Gods Word. Take the second chapter of Psalms for example: Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. (This passage has been relevant for all ages.) He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. (Compare Proverbs 1:25-27.) Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. (Those of us who die in our sins, as enemies of God Almighty, will experience this wrath. We will also see this passage of scripture fulfilled when God pours out His seven vials of wrath.) Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. (Not to be confused with the wicked Zionist in Israel today. Isaiah 11 makes it perfectly clear that the real Israelites will not migrate back to Israel until after the end of the time of the gentiles, when the wicked are taken out of the way.) I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. (The first coming of Jesus Christ.) Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potters vessel. (The second coming of Jesus Christ.) Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. (The rulers of this day and age has been instructed and warned.) Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. I want to be free of all these damn rules .especially coming from people that do not share the same morals and values I have. I want to live with like minded individuals in our own peaceful setting.free of someone trying to think for me, telling me what is good for me and what I am doing wrong. I left home at 16 yrs old because of my parents doing the same damn thing I am 50 yrs old now, and have earned more education then all my parents and grandparents combined I did pretty well for myself and my family I dont need anyone else telling me what to dothat is what wives are for.and I dont need another wife So I will fight this ONE WORLD BS 
1	The National Football League's decision to move kickoffs to the 35 yard line has football fans across the nation anticipating a 2011 season full of dramatic, tension-producing touchbacks, league sources report. 'When the return man catches the football, looks up to see the coverage team has already made it across the 50-yard line, and slowly, almost reluctantly sinks to take a knee in the end zone That may be the best play in sports,' said longtime football fan David Merriman. 'In fact there is nothing more boring to me than when the return man evades a few tackles, gets a key block, and sprints up the sideline towards the end zone. Touchbacks are why I watch football.' In related news, the Chicago Bears have released return specialist Devin Hester, saying there were at least three people on their roster who could kneel down with the ball for $8 million less. 
1	A young couple was found ritualistically murdered in Crotona Park early Monday in what police are calling a 'copycat crime that lacks the artistry and nuance of the original.' Forensics workers remove the bodies of a married couple murdered in a copycat crime officials derided as 'perfunctory and derivative.' 'On the surface, this double homicide seems identical to that of Yvette and Hector Reynoso in Crotona Park July 3,' said Sgt. Bob Bloch of the New York Police Department. 'The bodies were arranged in a back-to-back seated position, tied tightly together. Each victim's clothing was removed and put backwards on the other person. And their throats and wrists were ritualistically slashed, and the eyeballs carved out and placed in their mouths. But look closer, and you'll see that this crime is a pale, uninspired imitation of its predecessor.' The latest victims, identified as Susan and Nicholas Thomasen of White Plains, were found by police at 6 a.m. The crime was initially suspected to be the work of the Happy Loving Couple Killer, who shocked New York with his grisly, methodical slaying of the Reynosos four weeks ago and may be behind as many as 11 ritual double murders since 1988. 'Based on our initial forensic observations, we believed the crimes to be the work of the same man,' Bloch said. 'But a closer look revealed an obvious departure from the Happy Loving Couple Killer's attention to detail. I mean, why weren't the Thomasens' hands meticulously entwined? Why weren't the usual Valentine hearts drawn on their chests with the other's blood? Why were there no African violets stuffed into their mouths? Just sloppy. And tying their necks together with a white silk scarf is just an unnecessary flourish, introducing a violent, erotic-fantasy-fulfillment theme that undermines the simplicity and emotional directness that is the real Happy Loving Couple Killer's signature style. The second I stepped on the scene, I knew something was horribly wrong.' Fingerprints and DNA samples taken from the Thomasens' bodies failed to match those from the Reynoso murders, confirming those suspicions. 'It's a disappointing sidebar to the Happy Loving Couple Killer canon,' Bloch continued. 'However, it in no way detracts from the importance and power of the original killings.' Adding to the lack of artistic merit already clouding the Thomasens' death is the fact that, in order to stay true to the spirit of the original, the couple should not have been chosen as victims in the first place. 'The Happy Loving Couple Killer, or 'Hap,' as his longtime NYPD followers call him, always murders newlyweds who have known each other less than one year,' Bloch said. 'The Thomasens had met 13 months ago. Did this wannabe think we wouldn't notice? It's those little details that mark the difference between a good killer and a derivative hack. This murder is almost beneath the NYPD's attention.' 
3	OWS Activists Called Domestic TerroristsStephen Lendman, Contributor So did the 1917 Espionage Act, 1919 anti-communist Palmer raids, 1934 Special Committee on Un-American Activities, its House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) successor, FBI COINTELPRO crackdowns, 1996 Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, 2001 USA Patriot Act, and other post-9/11 measures. Police state harshness today reflects US policy. Compromised civil liberties expanded government surveillance, eroded habeas rights, formalized military tribunals, permitted torture-extracted confessions, and sanctified violence in the name of national security. Thousands of political prisoners languish in Americas gulag. Its the worlds largest by far. Its one of the harshest. Many there deserve praise, not imprisonment. OWS activists may join them. More on that below. For the first time, Patriot Act provisions created the crime of domestic terrorism. Section 802 applies to persons alleged to engage in acts dangerous to human life. Evidence isnt needed. Accusations suffice. US citizens and permanent residents are vulnerable. Theyre frequent targets. Theyre unjustly accused of violating federal, state, or local laws if they: Peaceful demonstrations are criminalized. At times, long-term incarceration follows. In 2001, prominent Americans demonstrated on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico. Civil disobedience actions were included. selfnewss entered a US airbase. They harmed no one. They protested against Pentagon exercises. They included bombings. This type activism is called domestic terrorism if done to influence government policy. Patriot legislations Section 806 lets authorities confiscate or freeze foreign and domestic assets. No hearing or notice is required. Individuals, organizations, and other entities are vulnerable. Prosecutors can say they engaged in planning, supporting, concealing, or perpetrating any anti-American act of domestic or international terrorism. Evidence isnt required. Guilt by accusation follows. Victims are some of Americas best. Theyre targeted for their political beliefs. Putting their bodies on the line for justice harms them. Wide-sweeping, vague legislative language perversely permits calling constitutionally protected acts terrorism. Imagine being criminalized for doing the right thing. Occupy Wall Street activists were targeted straightaway. Dissent is called subversive. Patriot Act provisions compromise due process, freedom of association, and protections from unreasonable searches and seizures. They authorize unchecked surveillance powers. Theyre used to access personal records, monitor financial transactions, as well as student, medical and other documents. Virtually anything goes replaced constitutional protections. No ones safe anywhere for doing the right thing. Americas on a slippery slope toward full-blown tyranny. Freedom hangs by a thread. Anyone challenging state power is vulnerable. Constitutional protections dont apply. On December 24, Russia Today headlined Terrorists and criminals: Documents prove FBI monitored OWS. Federal surveillance was initiated weeks before demonstrations began. The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) is a public service legal organization. Its dedicated to the defense of human and civil rights secured by law, the protection of free speech and dissent, and the elimination of prejudice and discrimination. PCJF issues involve constitutional law, civil rights, womens rights, economic justice matters, and Freedom of Information Act cases. Its work includes landmark constitutional rights litigation, often concentrated in the areas of free speech, assembly or other protected political organizing activity. On September 20, PCJF sued local authorities. They challenged New York police arrests based on.association with or proximity to dissent and protest. In March, PCJF obtained heavily redacted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requested documents. They showed federal agencies began coordinated (anti-OWS) intelligence gathering and operations. They began in August 2011. On December 22, PCJF headlined FBI Documents Reveal Secret Nationwide Occupy Monitoring, saying: FOIA documents reveal that from its inception, the FBI treated the Occupy movement as a potential criminal and terrorist threat. It did so even though the agency acknowledges in documents that organizers explicitly called for peaceful protest and did not condone the use of violence at occupy protests. FBI surveillance is standard practice. PCJF called information received just the tip of the iceberg. It reflects longstanding policy. It treats peaceful protests against massive financial fraud and related malfeasance as potential criminal and terrorist activity. Documents show FBI, Homeland Security, and other federal agencies function as de facto intelligence arm(s) of Wall Street and corporate America. Heavily redacted material shows federal authorities concealed more than they revealed. PCJF is appealing for full disclosure. Whats known divulges police state harshness. In October 2011, Obama lied. Doing so comes easy to him. He alleged OWS support. He told ABC News: The most important thing we can do right now is those of us in leadership letting people know that we understand their struggles and we are on their side, and that we want to set up a system in which hard work, responsibility, doing what youre supposed to do, is rewarded. And that people who are irresponsible, who are reckless, who dont feel a sense of obligation to their communities and their companies and their workers that those folks arent rewarded. His key words were we are on their side. At the same time, FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Secret Service agents were working cooperatively with state and local authorities. They still do. They actively engage in infiltrating, disrupting, subverting, and destroying OWS in cities and communities nationwide. Peaceful protests, marches, public speeches, picketing, sit-ins, camp-outs, leafleting, banner and placard displays, as well as other constitutionally protected activities are targeted. Various Supreme Court cases affirmed that First Amendment protections are wide-ranging. Theyre not limited to speech and assembly. They include conduct intended to convey vital messages. It bears repeating. Tyranny in America approaches full-blown. Freedom hangs by a thread. Activism is called terrorism. Constitutional protections are null and void. Some of Americas best are called enemies of the state. Indefinite detentions threaten them. So does military tribunal justice. Perhaps targeted assassinations come next. Police state harshness reflects official policy. No one anywhere is safe. Rogue governance takes precedence.

2	Netanyahu Absolutely DESTROYS Obama In Front Of The Whole World During his two terms as President, Barack Obama has significantly damaged our countrys relationship with Israel. It has become so bad, in fact, that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has just declined an offer to come to Washington, D.C. to meet with the president. This is a loud message. Most foreign dignitaries would not turn down this invitation, even if their countries dont have strong relationships with the United States. Obama is supposed to be the leader of the free world, but hes rapidly losing respect. We were looking forward to hosting the bilateral meeting, and we were surprised to first learn via media reports that the prime minister, rather than accept our invitation, opted to cancel his visit, Ned Price, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council commented. Several reports suggested that Netanyahu was avoiding Washington during the presidential election in and attempt to avoid showing favoritism toward any particular candidate. Others maintain that Obama should not be surprised, given the tense relationship between Israel and the United States. It should be noted that Israel and the United States are currently working on a new $10 billion defense aid agreement, which has been taking a long time to negotiate. What do you think? Are you ready for a new president? 
2	Donald Trump Donates 20k To Family Being Foreclosed On The liberal media has been determined to portray Donald Trump as a selfish, scamming businessman. However, to those that have personally come in to contact with Trump, he is often described as a hero. That was the case for one family in Georgia, who first experienced Trumps generosity 30 years ago. The Hills were a family of poor farmers living in Burke County, and they were hit hard in one of the worst farm crises since the Great Depression. Leonard Dozier Hill III was facing the heartbreaking decision of selling the farm that his family had lived on for more than three generations. That morning, it was going to be auctioned off at the courthouse steps, so he committed suicide, Betsy Sharp, Hills daughter, told reporters. Hill did not realize that by taking his own life, he would be acting outside of the familys insurance policies. Local residents used the incident as an example of what the bank was doing to farmers. That is when Donald Trump caught wind of the situation and decided to get involved. Trump donated $20,000 to help put a stop to the initial foreclosure, and he even arranged for the family to make a round of talk shows in order to raise the rest of the money they needed. I said to the guy, You listen to me. If you do foreclose, Ill bring a lawsuit for murder against you and your bank, on the grounds that you harassed Mrs. Hills husband to his death, Trump later wrote of an interaction with the banker. Trump and another wealthy businessman eventually partnered to pull together the rest of money that the donations couldnt. What do you think? Is there more to Trump than the media shows? Is he a true leader in many ways?

1	Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Orlando Hudson has been intentionally striking out in an effort to make his teammates laugh, team sources told reporters. Hudson, who struck out in every plate appearance Tuesday against the Oakland A's, was overheard saying 'Check this out' to teammates Justin Upton and Chris Young before intentionally taking a third strike during his first at-bat; swinging wildly high and wide at a pitch thrown low and inside; swinging several seconds after the ball had been caught by the catcher for a third strikeout; and during his fourth appearance at the plate, dropping his bat and starting to remove his batting gloves before the pitcher had even thrown the baseball. Upon walking back to the dugout, Hudson reportedly pretended to be disappointed with his performance by yelling, 'Jeez, I just don't know what's wrong with me lately,' causing his teammates further amusement. Following the game, Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin told Hudson that he could see what Hudson was doing and that he had better cut it out. 
2	School Defies Judges Ruling To Ban Live Nativity Scene From Christmas Spectacular A judge ruled against a high school in Indiana, determining that they can not include the live Nativity scene in their Christmas Spectacular. The living Nativity scene impermissibly conveys an endorsement of religion and thus runs afoul of the Establishment Clause, U.S. District Judge Jon DeGuilio reasoned. The Freedom From Religion Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union sued, and the school was able to defy the judges ruling. The school was, however, forced to include songs for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa in its Christmas special. Its unbelievable how politically correct liberals have become. Do you think all schools should be able to express Christianity? 
2	BREAKING: Half The States Starting Convention Of The States To Stop Obama Amidst numerous scandals, it appears as though the American public has finally had enough of the Obama administrations dishonesty and foolishness. Now, 22 states have already called for a convention of the states and seven more are in the process of joining. According to The Blaze, 22 state legislatures have passed resolutions that support a convention to pass a balanced budget amendment through both champers. And seven more are in the process of passing resolutions. The states are demanding that more definition be added to the Constitution, which will more clearly outline Obamas role. What do you think? Will a convention of the states finally stop Obama?

3	Golds Two Stories: Paper Markets Collapse While The Retail Public Buys At A Record PaceBy Mac Slavo Last weekend precious metals took a massive hit to the downside, sending shock waves throughout the industry. But was the move really representative of whats happening in precious metals markets around the world? Or, is there an effort by large financial institutions to keep prices suppressed? In an open letter to the Commodity Futures Trading CommissionFirst Mining Finance CEO Keith Neumeyer arguesthatreal producers and consumers dont appear to be represented by the purported billion dollar moves on paper trading exchanges. With China recently revealing that they have added some 600 tons of gold to their stockpiles and the U.S. mint having suspended sales of Silver Eagles due to extremely high demand in early July, how is it possible that prices are crashing? Asnoted in MikeGleasons Weekly Market Wrap at Money Metals Exchange, while it appears that gold is currently one of the worlds most hated assets, the retail public continues to buy at a record pace: The paper market is telling one story. But the actual physical bullion market is telling quite another. The U.S. Mint has sold over 100,000 ounces of American Eagle gold coins so far in July. Thats the highest monthly demand volume registered since April 2013. And thats just as of this week. Theres still another week left to go before the final sales tally for Gold Eagles comes in for the month of July. It could be one for the record books with 109,000 1-ounce Gold Eagles sold with bargain hunters purchasing 6% of the U.S. Mints production from Money Metals Exchange. As for Silver Eagles, the U.S. Mint has given up on trying to keep up with demand. After brisk sales during the first week of July, Mint officials suspended deliveries of Silver Eagles to dealers. Sales of the popular coins are set to resume next week. But we expect the Mint will be unable to get its act together and keep up with demand. Listen: Full Interview WithChris Powell Of The Gold Anti-Trust Committee (GATA) Its not clear exactlywho is suppressing precious metalsor why, but it is quite apparent that prices on paper exchanges are completely disconnected from reality, as retail buyers are taking this opportunity to scoop up gold and silver at prices that are 50% or more off their highs. But what happens next? That, of course, is anybodys guess, but considering current prices and movements within the context of a broader economic crisis, there is a precedent for what we have seen in recent years. We need only look back to the recession of the 1970s. As the crisis accelerated inseverity intothe late 1970s, complete with gas shortages, job losses and geopolitical tensions, we saw gold explode in value toa high of $850 by January of 1980. Were not necessarily suggesting that gold will follow the exact same pattern. But history does rhyme, and the world again finds itself in serious financial, economic, and monetary crisis. As weve noted before, gold is and always has been the historical asset of last resort for preserving wealth. Should the current crisis accelerate as we saw in the 1970s, the value of gold will likelyrise accordingly. We may not be looking at a 700% increase in price like we did from 1976 to 1980, but there is a distinct possibility that we will witness serious gains in real value as crisis and panic unfold. You cant eat gold and silver, of course. Ifcrisis is coming we have always urged our readers to prepare themselves for disruption to credit-dependent commerce systems with reserves of food, emergency cash and other supplies. But having a physical asset with real monetary and barterable value in your possession is certainly an important strategic consideration going forward. Its been said that an ounce of gold could buy 350 loaves of bread in Biblical times. Today, an ounce of gold still buys about 350 loaves of bread.However you slice it, whether the system falls into a deflationary depression like the 1930s or an inflationary recession like the 1970s, goldwill maintain its purchasing power. Though past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future results, we have over6,000 years of history backing golds legitimacy as a true mechanism of exchange. Also Read: You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com. They have a history of issuing gold certificates for gold they do not have PMs will prove the investment (I hope). 
3	Murdered: Coroner Finds RT Founder and Top Putin Aide Died of Blunt Force Trauma to the HeadBy Melissa Dykes The medical examiner did not add anything about whether or not a crime was committed here, but it doesnt exactly take Sherlock Holmes to figure this out. Either the guy bashed his own brains in, or someone else did it for him. Which one is more likely? Whats really weird about this is how the media is trying to spin it like it could be anything other than murder. Vice reported, The injuries seem to indicate Lesin may have been murdered Really? Seem to indicate?Did he bash his own brains in? Not exactly the way most people (or, really, anyone) commits suicide, is it? Funny how these kinds of murders never seem to get solved either Image Credit Melissa Dykes is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple and a co-creator of Truthstream Media with Aaron Dykes, a site that offers teleprompter-free, unscripted analysis of The Matrix we find ourselves living in. Melissa also co-founded Nutritional Anarchy with Daisy Luther of The Organic Prepper, a site focused on resistance through food self-sufficiency. Wake the flock up! The blurb in the Denver Post made it pretty clear it was murder, specifically, a heart attacked induced by a beating. There have been hits on Russian whistle blowers in the US and London (e.g. Litvinenko) clearly linked to the Russian FSB. The CIA takes out Americans getting in the way of the TPTB running the gamut from Hastings to Wellstone and countless others. Its way too shadowy to know much in this particular case. Obama probably did it or ordered it. If you really work it you can even get a Court of Law enquiry to say it was Obama, no evidence necessary just fiddling the info and lots of false testimony and Bobs your uncle. Youre not very conversant with reality, are you? And you lack a sense of humour Or perhaps you are less than skilled at conveying your sense of humor. I imagine Im far from the only one who whiffed on that curve ball. Only if you have not been aware of the sensationalist media exposure of Putin did it in the press including RI and RT. The probably went viral and you failed to notice? Do you honestly believe that the findings in the kangaroo court on Litvinenko by the British Courts was even halfway to reasonable? If so, then not only do you lack a sense of humour but you are the one who needs a reality check! Radioactive polonium is only available to very high level state officials and it is known that two FSB agents met with Litvinenko at the time he was poisoned. Given Litvinenko confirmed the FSB false flag bombings, there would be a strong motive to make an example of him. How do you know for a fact the court findings were false? polonium can be produced and probably is being produced in any number of facilities outside Russia. It turns out that commercially produced polonium contains no trace elements such as would make it possible to identify the facility it comes from be that facility in Russia or anywhere else. It turns out polonium is not expensive at all, with a police officer telling the Inquiry that an amount of polonium much greater than the amount used to poison Litvinenko sold in New York for just $20,000. Po is widely used in industry, and readily available with little regulation or restriction[citation needed]. In the US, a tracking system run by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was implemented in 2007 to register purchases of more than 16 curies (590 GBq) of polonium-210 (enough to make up 5,000 lethal doses). The IAEA is said to be considering tighter regulations There is talk that it might tighten the polonium reporting requirement by a factor of 10, to 1.6 curies (59 GBq).[81] As of 2013, this is still the only alpha emitting byproduct material available, as a NRC Exempt Quantity, which may be held without a radioactive material license.[citation several deaths in Israel during 19571969 were caused by 210Po.[85] A leak was discovered at a Weizmann Institute laboratory in 1957. Traces of 210Po were found on the hands of professor Dror Sadeh, a physicist who researched radioactive materials. Thank you very much for that information, I will explore it further. Im a medical scientist by profession, so I only have a general idea about the process of extracting a rare radioactive isotope, which, I know from uranium and plutonium, is not at all an easy process. An element can be fairly abundant but the isotope extremely difficult to come by. Ill look into it more. Because the western is media is very controlled by the Establishment and Russian media far more so, I look at patterns and motive. Having read Russian scholar Karen Dawishas recent book Putins Kleptocracy, Who Owns Russia, and many other papers and books on the culture and history of Russia, I recognize in Litvinenkos case a common pattern in the elimination of dissenters. Of course, Ive observed it in the west countless times because we still have access to some independent reports and information, such as Michael Hastings death, Gary Webb, etc, and there is also a very consistent fingerprint. You cant get much information from our UK media but Science Journals print written papers and I know I havent seen any new papers since 2013 showing the discovery of any trace elements that have been discovered enabling identification of the original Po. Probably due to its short shelf life it is classed as a metal but acts like a gas when combined and dissipates relatively quickly but not as a chelated concoction. Not sure if there is someone else on this site better informed and knowledgeable who can give you further information. Do know I would not choose Po as a poison, too damned dangerous! Thanks again, thats very helpful. I agree, its a very radical way to assassinate someone hence its utility as a unique calling card and conjuring an image of a horrific way to die. Ill spare the details, but death by radioactive poisoning were the most memorable and disturbing reads Ive ever encountered in terms of descriptions of terminal case studies. In an oncology course we were also asked to read the Chernobyl case studies, the first responders who battled the fires on the scene and died within days still haunts me to this day. Youre a better man than me Gunga Din, I wouldnt be able to do such a study. Good Luck. The U.S. mainstream news media is controlled by the mega corporations and the CIA (Project Mockingbird). The people behind this major source of propaganda did not like RT, which was running stories which ran counter to and basically proved the propaganda component of the mainstream news. It is highly likely that the CIA hired a hit man to take out Mikhail Lesin. The CIA-MOSSAD have their own, well-trained specialists. Victor Ostrovsky explains it in his semi-autobiography, Der Mossad Ein Ex-Agent enthllt Aktionen und Methoden des israelischen Geheimdienstes, 1. Januar 1991. While that is very true. It is a fact that the Mossad was originally created by the CIA and the two intelligence agencies often work together. dont think so, Herbert. The Israeli MOSSAD evolved from Gideons spies, of four thousand or more years ago. For details, plz see, Gideons Spies The Secret History of the MOSSAD, 1st edition 1995. That MOSSAD and CIA spy and murder in collaboration since somewhat united by George H. W. Bush in 1984 or earlier is accurate. Of course, the multipurpose 9-11 was pulled off by Bush Jr. and Israelis to give Bush Jr. a Reichtagsfeuer and provide Larry Silverstein and israeli comrades with $4.2 billion for a new building instead of a $500 million debt for removing asbestos from the buildings which buildings no longer earned the profit desired by Silverstein and fellow money-grubbers. Of course the initial 3,000 innocent persons murdered and the +-40,000 who have subsequently died from inhaling the radioactive dust is of no consequence to them and former mayor Giuliani who was notified adequately timely so as to move his offices out of the WTC two weeks prior to the demolition. https://wikispooks.com/wiki/9-11/Israel_did_it I have read Gideons Spies an informative book, But, I find David Livingstones latest book, Terrorism and the Illuminati to be much more illuminating. There I learned that British agents created, for their own geopolitical agendas, the Wahhabi and Salafi forms of Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood that form the base of Islamic terrorism today. It is an interesting read if you want to understand why the world is so crazy. Neat extrapolation ! Thanks ! Going off a tangent from Dorseys comment on the Brits and their hand in creating Islamic factions, I wondered if you were aware the CIA created the internet techno-culture along with the 60s counter culture. Aldous Huxley (Brave New World author and uber elitist) was behind the recruitment of Tim Leary to promote psychedelics as part of this new cultural meme they were creating. Huxley was also involved in MK Ultra. Bringing this all together is a fascinating documentary produced by a German national, I believe, on the subject of Ted Kaczynski, the super genius mathematician tricked into participating in a MK Ultra experiment when he was a young student at Harvard. The experience transformed him, creating an epiphany on the subject of mind control and the rise of Technocracy, the final cage being designed for all of humanity. Even if we correctly reject his methods to counteract the trajectory he foresaw, Kaczynskis manifesto is brilliant and an accurate foretelling of the final NWO paradigm. If you are inclined to watch it, the documentary is on youtube titled The Net The Unabomber, LSD and the Internet. Its another lens into how our world was created as a Matrix, with virtually zero organic social constructs, artificial paths leading us into a nearly inescapable prison for our minds. Finally, are you aware that in the famous Eisenhower speech in which he warned about the rise of a military industrial complex, he also warned about the rise of a Technocratic elite? The American left has constantly harped on the former but never a peep about the latter. One wonders why is that? Ha! Why did RT run a piece saying essentially the Saudis masterminded 9/11, deflecting blame away from the Rockefellers, international banksters, high ranking US politicians, etc? This piece was timed EXACTLY to coincide with US cointelpro floating the 28-redacted pages story and several stories posted on American websites about the Saudis going rogue, despite the fact we know KSA royals have always been obedient NWO minions. RT is state run, not independent media. The vicious beating is a clue its more likely FSB, their classic trademark of an obvious hit such as the radioactive polonium used not only on Litvinenko but at least one other high profile target. CIA has always been more subtle. The Saudi hijackers were the patsies to deflect attention away from the real actors. They werent even needed because the planes that hit the trade towers were remote controlled and a guided missile actually hit the Pentagon. You must be more careful about propaganda, which the British version of the Litvinenko murder, surely is. The CIA is notorious for feeding news to the news media, as documented in CIA: Crime Incorporated of America. RT is state run the news media is megacorporation run. Which is to be trusted more? That the Saudis were patsies is my point exactly that one of the mega PSY OPs underway is exactly that, to deflect blame from the top of the pyramid and from the example I gave RT is clearly working the psy op too in perfect timing with the US MSM and with conintelpro alt media, which you probably know is deeply infested into every outlet to one degree or another. Stepping deftly over disinfo landmines is becoming increasingly arduous. The western media is far more likely to omit information and spin stories than it is to outright fabricate, not that it doesnt, but there is no reason yet to not believe Litvinenko was murdered as a Russian state hit given his whistle blowing, esp. on the false flag apartment bombings. Im amazed that many who are awake think a brutal totalitarian government with a fairly recent history of slaughtering tens of millions of dissidents would be inherently more reliable for information and in support of human freedom than the corrupt west with a least a cultural notion of transparency and still possessing some avenues of open communication just barely. Not only do they not get solved, in the US they rarely get investigated. When they are investigated, the media-published reports always resemble the official report of the death of John F. Kennedy, Sr.. Some are dragged out endlessly with various cover-ups, similar to the Benghazi debacle by the CIA. Of course, when such murders occur in Texas, such as the removal of Justice Scalia, they are always multipurpose, similar to the murder and insurance fraud with the WTC demolitions. What about the assassination of virtually the entire executive branch of Poland that rebuffed the IMF and a global vaccination mandate? That was a enormous hit, and, AFAIK, there wasnt any kind of deep probe into it or outrage that swept across Europe. It was a plane take down, still, there was that video that surfaced of Russian intelligence agents shooting the survivors of the plane crash. Didnt the journalist who filmed the scene get murdered too? There were a lot of Russians who questioned the FSB false flag apartment bombings who were murdered and others threatened with death to silence them. Same with 9/11, several suspicious deaths of witnesses. I wonder about Operation Gladio in Europe, same pattern? Thank you. Whats to wonder ? Sorry, Ive tried three separate times to watch the youtube video and it wont load or give the option of watching it on YT. I hope you are able to watch the Perloff interview from the link I shared, looks like it works fine on the Disqus and A.P. sites. I do not know your location and assume that your server might not have the connection needed. I have separated the link into three parts, which will not be abbreviated by this home page nor call up the site. If you combine them they might work. If not, searching the internet on the phrase, Jeff Steinberg interview with Col. Fletcher Prouty (Ret.) Nov. 11th, 1992 https://www. OK, thank you for the title. Yes, Ive watched that one before, thanks, as always, Prouty is fascinating. Ive read very detailed books on the JFK assassination. Its stunning how much information has been collected, the picture is very clear and the levels of conspiracy and subterfuge are staggering. One can only imagine the mindset of megalomania they operate with now. The concept that Russian intelligence agents were murdering the survivors is what the purveyors of subterfuge want the world to believe. Similarly, the CIA-MOSSAD want the world to think that JFK was murdered by Lee H. Oswald, the 19 Saudi pimps sent to Jeb Former USAF colonel L. Fletcher Prouty set up the CIA within the USAF. He wrote a book explaining insider details, The Secret Team the CIA and its Allies in Control of the United States and the World, in 1973. Published in 1974, all 50,000 copies vanished after leaving the publisher. A re-print reached the streets a decade later. The extent of secrecy of operation of the CIA is revealed in the 2011 edition, page xx of the Preface 1972. The video interview of colonel Prouty is rather revealing. Absolutely, Prouty has some fascinating insight and I gleaned some useful pieces of the puzzle from his work. Its strange that he was not targeted, that always leaves one wondering what the limited hangout are. As a highly intelligent man, he may have been merely protecting himself. Well never know. Well also never know the details of the assassination of the Polish leaders, although its clearly a hit ordered by the Banksters. I still believe far too many vastly underestimate the historic and current collaboration of Western and Eastern (esp. Russian) elites. Case in point is James Perloffs research proving the Soviets worked hand in hand with the US elites to set up and execute the Korean war to set a precedent of the UN as a global military force it was an undeclared war for the US, officially a UN police action that the Soviets would have been expected to veto as members of UN Security Council but their representative decided to NOT attend the vote. Theres much more detailed information in the 26 min Perloff interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF4JxvE-ckc Going on a century now, theres long been a bankster line of cooperation and control running deep into Russias oligarchy. Its human nature, my friend. Human nature varies considerably, as reflected by the Ying-Yang concept, reflecting the theory that for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. However, the religio-politico nature of the bankster leadership does not vary, and was identified about 2,000 years ago, when Jesus drove the money-changers from the temple. Their microcosm was developed into the macrocosm that was fraudulently named, The U.S. Federal Reserve. Their greed is ingrained in their society, and is clearly revealed in the four books by professor Shlomo Sand, Univ. of Tel Aviv, numerous others before him and even by prof. Norman Finkelstein in his various books. The Holocaust Industry touches on the definition of The Holocaust. The name, U.S. Federal Reserve reveals the deceit of its creators and owners, since it is neither owned nor operated by the United States of America. John F. Kennedys plan to dissolve the U.S. Federal Reserve is listed by various authors as one of the motives that led to the decision to murder him, his brother and his son. The continued function of the U.S. Federal Reserve has resulted in unresolvable amounts of international and U.S. paper-money debt. Numerous experts have been reporting for two years that the U.S. Federal Reserve paper-money, banking system is on the verge of collapse. This year, 2016, is the predicted year of collapse. Political Ponerology (http://www.ponerology.com/), rule by Psychopaths, which explains their attachment to the Occult, pedophilia, secret societies, Bohemian Grove Cremation of Care Ceremonies, etc. As a neuroscientist, I would argue there is a little bit of psychopath or at least the potential in most people, its matter of degree a bit of what we gleaned from both the Milgram and the Stanford prison experiments. Why else do the common people rationalize their collaboration in genocide and generally large scale sadistic activities? It would appear to be a matter of TPTB exploiting their knowledge of human nature. So, we seem to agree that there is some outlier in the Elites behavioral genetic pattern, reinforced in their culture and social structure, that predisposes this behavior. Again, it is very old historically and somewhat inevitable as the Iron Law of Politics when societies are uniformed, devoid of critical reasoning, and no longer vigilant. And the larger the system, the more opaque it becomes and more prone to this, also reflecting the Dunbar number concept confirmed in studies with simian groups as related to the volume of their prefrontal cortex supported by archaeological and anthropological studies demonstrating roughly a stable human tribe number of 150 whereby each member could be known and observed for reliability and trust worthiness. Regarding 2016, I assume you know about the Rothschild own Economist publishing a cover article in 1988 of the new global currency dubbed The Phoenix with a prediction it would be introduced in the year 2018, the graphic being a Phoenix bird rising out of the burning ashes of all of the worlds currencies all timed exactly with the elimination of cash, capital controls, bail in procedures agreed by the G20, and ZIRP followed by NIRP. Thank You ! Your response was a neat refresher of several concepts. In the later 1980s I did not place much credibility on the prediction of the future, or the future currency. Now, 2016, it fits the scene of the last ten years and for me has validity that I did not perceive almost 30 years ago. My experience weighs more heavily the historical, societal values of a family or tribe or organized cult than genetic structures. Similarly, intelligence. Older research indicated that persons with I.Q.s more than one S.D. above average were no more successful than persons with I.Q.s within the average range. Also, the singular characteristic that was statistically associated with persons in leadership positions has remained constant. Forty years later, I am still a bit disappointed that I.Q. was not a significant indicator. I have also learned that the most successful criminals have above-average intelligence. I view the concept of ZIRP reducing to NIRP as the introduction to national- international bankruptcy of the U.S. Federal Reserve banking system. Yep, I agree that, overall, culture, values, and education are much more important than genetics. However, going way back to studying genetics as an undergrad, I remember a professor pointing out how extremely minute differences in genotype can create vast differences in phenotype (to include behavior). The simple examples are chimps having ~99% genetic sequence homology to the human genome, but not outwardly 99% similar to us in appearance and behavior (well, most of the time!). Or domesticated canines, very tiny alterations in genotype manifesting in tremendous variety in breed characteristics. Thus, a slight difference the inbred elites predisposing them to psychopathic behavior and higher than average intelligence would be enough of an edge to consolidate their power over many centuries. Just food for thought. Drbhelthi, I meant to get back to you on something you mentioned here about JFK planning to dissolve the Fed Res. From what research Ive been able to do, mainly from the work of G. Edward Griffin who wrote the seminal book on the Fed, The Creature From Jekyll Island, apparently JFK had NOT made a move or plan against the Fed Res. The speculation turned myth centered around an Executive Order JFK signed to delegate authority for basic housekeeping duties to the Treasury Secretary (at the time, a highly connected bankster, BTW) to manage the Silver Certificates. This issue was covered on Griffins website until very recently as he is in the process of revamping his archives. What we know for certain, once again with excellent documented evidence provided by James Perloff (who wrote the book on the CFR years ago) is that JFK did sign two important orders that sealed his fate. One was to begin the process of bringing US troops home from Vietnam and second the CIA was to no longer be allowed to perform large scale covert operations, they were to revert back to being strictly an intelligence gathering agency. Of course, LBJ countermanded both orders. Hope this info is helpful clarification and thank you for sharing your insight, its always a privilege for me to have exchanges with keen minds and learn new things. Thank you. Griffin has been a leader in many areas, a tremendous person. Thank you, I will be in touch in the very near future. I wrote down your contact info in case you want to edit it out for privacy or to avoid spam. Thanks again! 
2	One Man Comes Up With Brilliant Place To House Illegals Coming Across The Border House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi recently called for taxpayers to help cover the cost of what are being Obamas children crossing the border illegally. One man, however, had a difference of opinion and decided to be vocal about. Pelosi has been public in her beliefs that the responsibility of housing, clothing, and feeding the nearly 100,000 illegal immigrants currently in our country falls on the American People. One man, David Burge, challenged Pelosi on Twitter by asking why she is not offering the space at her vacation home. For those who may be unaware, Pelosi owns a $25 million private Napa Valley vineyard, on which sits a mansion, tennis court, and swimming pool. What do you think? Should Pelosi put her own money where her mouth is? 
3	19 Statistics About The Drugging Of America That Are Almost Too Crazy To BelieveMichael Snyder That sounds absolutely crazy but it is true. We are literally being drugged out of our minds. In fact, as you will read about below, there are 70 million Americans that are taking mind-altering drugs right now. If it seems like most people cannot think clearly these days, it is because they cant. We love our legal drugs and it is getting worse with each passing year. And considering the fact that big corporations are making tens of billions of dollars peddling their drugs to the rest of us, dont expect things to change any time soon. The following are 19 statistics about the drugging of America that are almost too crazy to believe #2 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, doctors wrote more than 250 million prescriptions for antidepressants during 2010. #3 According to a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, nearly 70 percent of all Americans are on at least one prescription drug. An astounding 20 percent of all Americans are on at least five prescription drugs. #5 According to the CDC, approximately 9 out of every 10 Americans that are at least 60 years old say that they have taken at least one prescription drug within the last month. #6 There are 60 million Americans that abuse alcohol. #7 According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 22 million Americans use illegal drugs. #8 Incredibly, more than 11 percent of all Americans that are 12 years of age or older admit that they have driven home under the influence of alcohol at least once during the past year. #9 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is an unintentional drug overdose death in the United States every 19 minutes. #10 In the United States today, prescription painkillers kill more Americans than heroin and cocaine combined. #11 According to the CDC,approximately three quarters of a million people a year are rushed to emergency rooms in the United Statesbecause of adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs. #12 According to Alternet, 11 of the 12 new-to-market drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration were priced above $100,000 per-patient per-year in 2012. #13 The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is higher than in any other country in the world. #14 Many of these antidepressants contain warnings that suicidal thoughts are one of the side effects that should be expected. The suicide rate for Americans between the ages of 35 and 64 rose by close to 30 percent between 1999 and 2010. The number of Americans that are killed by suicide now exceeds the number of Americans that die as a result of car accidents every year. #15 In 2010, the average teen in the United States was taking 1.2 central nervous system drugs. Those are the kinds of drugs which treat conditions such as ADHD and depression. #16 Children in the United States are three times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants as children in Europe are. #17 A shocking Government Accountability Office report discovered that approximately one-third of all foster children in the United States are on at least one psychiatric drug. #18 A survey conducted for the National Institute on Drug Abuse found that more than 15 percent of all U.S. high school seniorsabuse prescription drugs. #19 It turns out that dealing drugs is extremely profitable. The 11 largest pharmaceutical companies combined to rake in approximately $85,000,000,000 in profits in 2012. In America today, doctors are trained that there are just two potential solutions to any problem. Either you prescribe a pill or you cut someone open. Surgery and drugs are pretty much the only alternatives they offer us. And an endless barrage of television commercials have trained all of us to think that there is a pill for every problem. Are you in pain? Just take a pill. Are you feeling blue? Just take a pill. Do you need a spark in your marriage? Just take a pill. And most Americans assume that all of these pills are perfectly safe. After all, the government would never approve something that wasnt safe, right? Sadly, what most Americans dont realize is that there is a revolving door between big pharmaceutical corporations and the government agencies that supposedly regulate them. Many of those that are now in charge of our safety have spent their entire careers peddling legal drugs to all of us. We have become a nation of drugged out zombies, and it is all perfectly legal. The funny thing is that many of these legal drugs have just slightly different formulations from their illegal counterparts. If more Americans understood what they were actually taking, would that cause them to stop? Perhaps some would, but for the most part Americans are totally in love with their drugs and giving them up would not be easy. Just ask anyone that has tried. So what do you think about the drugging of America? Please feel free to share what you think by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

3	New NDAA Expands Empire But Forbids Debate on WarBy Ron Paul But not even slower growth is enough when you have an empire to maintain worldwide, so the House majority slipped into the military spending bill an extra $89 billion for an emergency war fund. Such emergency spending is not addressed in the growth caps placed on the military under the 2011 budget control act. It is a loophole filled by Congress with Fed-printed money. Ironically, a good deal of this emergency money will go to President Obamas war on ISIS even though neither the House nor the Senate has debated let alone authorized that war! Although House leadership allowed 135 amendments to the defense bill with many on minor issues like regulations on fire hoses an effort by a small group of Representatives to introduce an amendment to debate the current US war in Iraq and Syria was rejected. While squashing debate on ongoing but unauthorized wars, the bill also pushed the administration toward new conflicts. Despite the presidents unwise decision to send hundreds of US military trainers to Ukraine, a move that threatens the current shaky ceasefire, Congress wants even more US involvement in Ukraines internal affairs. The military spending bill included $300 million to directly arm the Ukrainian government even as Ukrainian leaders threaten to again attack the breakaway regions in the east. Does Congress really think US-supplied weapons killing ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine is a good idea? The defense authorization bill also seeks to send yet more weapons into Iraq. This time the House wants to send weapons directly to the Kurds in northern Iraq without the approval of the Iraqi government. Although these weapons are supposed to be used to fight ISIS, we know from too many prior examples that they often find their way into the hands of the very people we are fighting. Also, arming an ethnic group seeking to break away from Baghdad and form a new state is an unwise infringement of the sovereignty of Iraq. It is one thing to endorse the idea of secession as a way to reduce the possibility of violence, but it is quite something else to arm one side and implicitly back its demands. While the neocons keep pushing the lie that the military budget is shrinking under the Obama Administration, the opposite is true. As the CATO Institute pointed out recently, President George W. Bushs average defense budget was $601 billion, while during the Obama administration the average has been $687 billion. This bill is just another example of this unhealthy trend. Next years military spending plan keeps the US on track toward destruction of its economy at home while provoking new resentment over US interventionism overseas. It is a recipe for disaster. Lets hope for either a presidential veto, or that on final passage Congress rejects this bad bill. Dr. Ron Pauls weekly columnfirst appearsat the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. 
3	US to Compensate Family of Italian Drone Victim Will Non-Western Victims See Same?By Dierdre Fulton According to the Guardian on Friday, the $1.32 million is the first known and documented payment of its kind made by the U.S. government to the family of a drone-strike victim killed outside a declared warzone. The details of the arrangement were first reported by Italian newspaper La Repubblica. The Intercept reported in July that such a settlement had been reached, coming in the form of an ex gratia paymentessentially a gesture of condolencefrom the U.S. government to Lo Portos parents and brothers, who live in Italy. There is no admission of wrongdoing, and it leaves the family free to pursue other legal action in the future. The government also did not disclose any further details about the strike. The Guardian confirmed on Friday that the agreement includes this stipulation: This does not imply the consent by the United States of America to the exercise of the jurisdiction of the Italian courts in disputes, if any, directly or indirectly connected with this instrument. Nothing in this instrument implies a waiver to sovereign or personal immunity. In turn, a lawyer representing the Lo Porto family told La Repubblica, After this money, the family seems to have even fewer roads to find out what exactly happened and what were the mistakes that led to the death of their relative. Furthermore, said Jennifer Gibson of the human rights group Reprieve, [c]ash payouts are no substitute for genuine transparency. Why wont the U.S. government come clean and apologize to all the civilians, including non-Westerners, wrongly killed by the misguided drone program? I think at this point there is no indication that this goes beyond the compensation of a western hostage killed in a drone strike, Gibson told the Guardian on Friday. The Lo Porto and [Warren] Weinstein families are the only families that have been acknowledged and apologized to by the administration. Thus far there hasnt been a single Pakistani or Yemeni family that has received the same acknowledgment. She pointed to many more civilian victims who have yet to receive a public apologynotably Faisal bin ali Jaber, who lost two innocent relatives to a drone strike in Yemen. While Faisals relatives were reportedly in 2014 given a plastic bag containing $100,000 in sequentially-marked U.S. dollar bills as a condolence payment, the Obama administration has refused to formally apologize to Faisal or acknowledge the killing, Common Dreams reported. As the ACLU wrote in 2015: [T]he contrast between the administrations response to the deaths of these Westernand whitecivilians and those of the many hundreds of non-Western civilians who have died in the administrations lethal force program is stark and glaring. No other victims family has received official acknowledgement and an apology, let alone been promised an investigation or compensation. Thats fundamentally unfair, and it increases the hostility against the United States in countries where the CIA and the Pentagon carry out their lethal strikes. [T]here should be no distinction, the civil liberties group said at the time, between the governments response to the killings of Western and non-Western civilians. Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLUs National Security Project, re-upped that post in response to Fridays news. Others similarly weighed in on social media: Imraan Siddiqi (@imraansiddiqi) September 16, 2016 Mark Bourrie (@MarkBourrie) September 16, 2016 Anealla (@anealla) September 16, 2016 Earlier this summer, the Obama administration released a report claiming that U.S. drone strikes have killed between 64 and 116 civilians in areas outside of active hostilities. Critics blasted the disclosure, saying it was so limited as to be virtually meaningless. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License.

3	Bulk Food Storage: Best Investment of the Decadeselfnews Post But these days, with record droughts ravaging the bread basket of America coupled with runaway money printing by the Fed, food inflation is creating a dangerous scenario but also a fantastic investment opportunity for average folks. During times of economic uncertainty it can be especially difficult to determine a safe place to protect your savings. Countless financial advisers offer advice on asset protection and other ways to keep your nest egg performing slightly above inflation. However, many of these strategies involve paper investments that come with risks. People in the know suggest tangible assets like precious metals. But if youre like the overwhelming majority of Americans living week-to-week, acquiring gold and silver can seem daunting. Although its definitely worth accumulating some precious metals when you have expendable income, food may prove to be a much better investment. Food is far easier to find at good values than precious metals and is more practical to accumulate in bulk.Whats more, you dont have to be a sophisticated commodities trader or even have a brokerage account to benefit from food investments.Anyone can buy extra food each time they go to the supermarket and create a plan to rotate it properly to the dinner table. Food also has the added value of being immediately usable, where metals must be traded for human necessities.Investing in food is not about taking advantage of a low-priced asset for the purpose of selling it at higher prices later on. It is about offsetting your future cost of living by being savvy enough to recognize the trend and plan appropriately. The trend for rising food prices in the second half of 2012 and beyond is undeniable. Why Invest in Food in 2012 First, its important to understand that even though the prices of food commodities fluctuate, the retail cost of food rarely comes down. Sure, there are temporary sales, but over the long haul prices only go in one direction up. Over the last few years, the world has experienced dramatic spikes in food prices. These increases are typically blamed on harsh weather conditions that decrease crop yields and provide the excuse for commodity speculators to drive food prices up. As recently as 2010, blistering heat waves in Russia sent food prices to new highs. In 2008, the life blood of industrial farming oil hit an all time high of $147 per barrel which caused rice to triple in 6 months, and other food commodities to more than double during the same time. Then, of course, theres basic supply and demand; as the worlds population continues to grow and fertile soil is depleted exponentially, prices will naturally rise. Finally, others recognize persistent food inflation to be a simple effect of the monetary systems inherent deflation of currency. So, between extreme weather, energy prices, supply and demand, commodity speculators and assured currency devaluation, its a safe bet that food prices will continue climbing. Whatever the case may be, wages or paper investments never seem to rise as quickly as the cost of necessities like food. The perfect storm of these factors seems to be forming in the second half of 2012, making investing in food a sure thing. The worst drought in 50 years has struck America this summer creating a near panic in farmers and those who measure crop yields. The drought pushed farmers to abandon fields larger than some European countries and forced the USDA to decrease their corn production projections by 2.2 billion bushels. Soybeans arent faring much better, as 47% of the fields are considered to be poor or very poor. There are very real implications for the world with this level of shortages coming out of the United States, not least being what will happen to prices as the result of speculators banking on this data. Were going to see very high prices, Joseph Glauber, the USDAs chief economist, told the Financial Times. If we combine this once-in-a-generation epic drought with the mounting tensions in oil-rich regions in the Middle East, an exploding population of Asians with the means to buy imported foods, and the Federal Reserve flirting with making quantitative easing (money printing to cover budget shortfalls) a permanent policy, the perfect storm may be upon us. Indeed, food commodity prices have already spiked as a result of the current drought. Corn and soybean prices are up about 40% since June, and are only expected to increase further: Luckily it takes a bit of time before commodity prices begin to affect grocery store prices. However, it is already beginning to hit Main Street in the pocketbook. Therefore, now is the time to put together your household investment plan for bulk food storage. Consider if retail food costs rise by 40% or more over the next few months,you will only be able to buy 6 units of something that you could have stored 10 units of for the same price. Imagine you have $1000 in your savings account versus $1000 worth of food stored in your personal food bank. The future value of your dollar bank account for buying food essentials is $600, while the future value of your food bank is $1400. That is an 80% swing in real terms. This can be the difference in literally starving or living in relative comfort through very difficult times that are sure to affect the majority of the worlds population. Stay tuned over the next days and weeks as well be outlining detailed bulk food storage strategies for how to take advantage of thisdismalsituation and protect your family and your savings. For now there are a few easy ways to stock up on storable foods that everyone should be investing in.

2	Youll Be In Shock When You Find Out The New Job Jay Carney Just Landed Not too long ago, Jay Carney left his position of Press Secretary for President Barack Obama. Unfortunately, it appears that we have not heard the last of him. According to recent reports, Carney has just been hired as a political commentator on the left-leaning CNN network. His new job is set to begin sometime next week, where he is set to give his opinion on Obamas address to the nation about ISIS. According to CNN Washing bureau chief Sam Feist, Jays unique experience as both a journalist and a White House press secretary make him an invaluable voice for the network as we cover the final two years of the Obama administration and look ahead to the coming campaigns. Were fortunate to have Jay on our air to provide analysis and insight surrounding the presidents address to the nation. After three years as press secretary, Carney was replaced by Josh Earnest. Carney is perhaps most infamous for having to explain his way through the presidents illegal activities. Were sure hes happy to start offering his own opinion instead of blatantly trying to pull one over the American people. 
3	The Donald and The Deep StateBy Rusticus If nothing else, watching Trumps bombast single-handedly stymie a potential continuation of the Bush Crime Family Dynasty (to the ire of Neocons everywhere) has made for fantastic entertainment. Watching as a similar fate befalls the Clinton Syndicate, whose war crimes, Nation-State destroying charitable frauds, drug and arms-running accolades and ever-increasing body count deserve open scrutiny, has also made for a good bit of fun. Perhaps the most satisfying aspect of this public airing of Bush/Clinton dirty laundry is that, in many cases, the two share more than a few articles of clothing. Both, through the Clinton Foundation, are complicit in looting the nation of Haiti and disappearing millions in charitable donations for earthquake relief a fraud that preceded the United Nations introduction of a deadly outbreak of cholera on the island. Both, too, gained a significant amount of (deep) political prestige and economic clout from the CIA drug trade as Vice President during the cocaine-fueled 1980s, Bush the Elder is as complicit in the Iran-Contra drug trade as anyone alive. And as then-Governor of Arkansas, home of the Agencys infamous Mena, AK drug drop operation, Bill Clinton may as well have been a Regional Director of Cocaine, Inc. Tracing this interlocking web of serial political criminals is one of the best methods we have of demonstrating the pervasive racket of oligarchy that rules America (and the world) today. The stunning and informative artwork of the late Mark Lombardi, outliningthe connections of banking, political, and drug trade interests, is a stark reminder of how truly intertwined the network of the Deep State truly is: All this, however, begs questions: Can any political figure be as successful in the Two-Party Racket as The Donald has been without being connected to this web of Deep State actors? As a product of the go-go, Greed is Good 80s, is Trumps fortune connected to the drug and arms dealers of the Iran-Contra/BCCI/SL scandals also synonymous with the era? And if so, have such connections continued through to the present? What consummate insiders of the Anglo-American Establishment have Trumps ear, and what does this spell for his rousing anti-Globalist rhetoric coming to fruition? It is no exaggeration to say that the Bush and Clinton empires have been built, in large part, on the backs of the drug trade. This knowledge within the broaderconspiracy culture has been widely circulatedsince at least the release of the 1995 underground hit, The Mena Connection: Given the sheer nature and scope of the Deep State drug and arms trade, perhaps it is not surprising to find that Mr. Trump has his fair share of connections to its players and not insignificant ones, at that. A great deal of work in unearthing these relationships has been done by investigative journalist Daniel Hopsicker, best known for his documentaries and books on the CIA drug trade as well asthe 9/11 Venice, Florida coverup. A seasoned sleuth in his own right, Hopsicker has recently documented a longstanding relationship between Donald Trump and a number of Deep State actors, like CIA assetMeyer Lanskys partner, Louis Lesser, who Trump purchased the Taj Mahal Casino and Hotel from in Atlantic City. Anotherof these charactersis known CIA asset and Saudi arms dealer, Adnan Khashoggi, a man whose connections to the Iran-Contra affair and the Deep State at large are far beyond the scope of this article. In his postentitled, Donald Trump and the Palm Beach Homies, it is alleged that Trump purchased Adnan Khashoggis yacht, at the time the longest in the world, in the mid-90s from thecash-strapped, scandal-ridden Saudi Man of Mystery. Khashoggi is also said to have attended The Donalds most recent wedding, neither of which are damning connections in and of themselves; they do, however, demonstrate a friendly relationship. The most concrete evidence escalating their relationship from casual acquaintances to potentialpartners in crime,however, comes from a local Palm Beach source. Hopsicker says in a recent interview: I have information from a source over in Palm Beach that when Adnan Khashoggi was under indictment for ripping off the second largest bank in Thailand, and INTERPOL was searching for him, he was hiding out in a bungalow at Mar-a-Lago. (One of Donald Trumps real estate developments in Palm Beach.) -Daniel Hopsicker Being friends with a spook is one thing helping said spook to avoid detectionin the wake of yet another Too Big to Jail bankster looting of the developing world is something else entirely. Khashoggi isnt the only Deep State actor in the Palm Beach milieu connected to Trump take, for example, billionaire Carl Icahn, who Trump has mused about making Secretary of Treasury in his potential administration. Icahn, who is also an associate of Khashoggi, is known to Florida locals forhis investment in a St. Petersburg airline whose only product turned out to be 5.5 tons of cocainebusted on a company plane, as Hopsicker puts it. Trumps connections to international intelligentsias drug trade go beyond even the figures mentioned in the aforementioned Hopsicker article; when The Donald proclaimed earlier this year that Richard Haas, long-time President of the Council on Foreign Relations, was one of the few men that he really likes and respects, I began in earnest looking for more associative connections between Trump and the Anglo-American Establishment. While the majority of the Mainstream Media has seen fit to paint Trump as a pariah withinthe Silicon Valley community, at least someof its powerbrokers, its true movers and shakers, find themselves in Trumps camp. One such characterof prominence is Peter Thiel, a founding member of the aptly-named PayPal Mafia and witting CIA cybersecurity subcontractor. A vocal Trump supporter who was given a prime speaking slot at this years Republican Convention, most were keen on focusing solelyupon superficial banalities like Thiels sexual preferences. Far more important are the multinational giants hes built over the years, foremost of which is PayPal. Already suspected to be complicit in colluding with NSA, its almost inconceivable to think that one of the largest payment processors in the worldisntalso involved in drug trade money laundering. Evidence for this claim comes from HSBC whistleblower John Cruz. As a British bank established in Hong Kong for the express intent of handling profits from the burgeoning opium trade, Mr. Cruzs former employers are hardly strangers to the drug game. They also prove to be a bit of a one-trick pony, as their documented cooperation in laundering the dirty cash of Mexican drug lords proves that not much has changed about HSBCs business model in over a century. In a video interviewinterview with Richard Grove of Tragedy and Hope, Cruz outlines how Thiels PayPal finds its way into HSBCs drug kingdom: Richard Grove: What in your daily work did you start seeing and what started to raise your awareness? John Cruz: I would see other accounts [under the same Social Security number] beyond the accounts of anindividual listed as Unidentified. And I would see hundreds, millions, billions, trillions of dollars going through these accounts around the world. And they would just say, money to, money from, transfer in, transfer out. And they were just not complete as far as what the money was from. Then you couldnt find out where the money was coming from, you couldnt find out where it was going to you had money going in and out of PayPal and American Express every day in denominations, I mean, on your account alone you could have millions going through PayPal and American Express in 20, 30, 40, 50, 100,000 dollar denominations, even numbers, every day. But you as the main account holder, in your main accounts, could not see this because theyre coded not to print statements. Not to have access to. And theyre labeled as Unidentified. So when you see an account with a billion dollars going through it in one day and you have hundreds of thousands of Social Security numbers attached to that one account? Very suspicious. Very suspicious, indeed. Id highly recommend the curious reader listen to the entire interview linked above but to contrast this network of associations with The Donald himself, one is forced to question if Trumps rhetoric about drugs and building a Great Wall are less about stopping their flow and more about ensuring that only those with DC9s and C130s make their way safely to American markets: We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities. -Donald Trump Peter Thiel is not your average Silicon Valley tycoon; his belief, his faith, in the technostructure borders on the religious. Admittedly, the odds of finding someone working in tech whos not an ardent futurist are increasingly low but Peter Thiel is a man who believes he can literally cheat death and live forever. Hes not merely a technocrat, he is a transhumanist, and a devout one at that. Thiel also self-identifies as a libertarian, a strange choice of words for a man whose company, Palantir, is perhaps one of the most heavily government-subsidized cybersecurity contractors on the planet. Its also no secret that, in addition to a cast of dubious hedge fund managers, Palantirs largest .gov financier is none other than In-Q-Tel, the CIAs venture capital firm. Quite a large degree of hypocrisy from a man who said in a 2014 Wall Street Journal Op-Ed, Im not interested in illegal bullies or government favorites: By monopoly, I mean the kind of company that is so good at what it does that no other firm can offer a close substitute. -Peter Thiel Really, now? Aregovernment favorites like PayPal, operating on the SWIFT and Fed Wire systems, exempt from this definition? Or government favorites like Palantir, who are paid massive sums of looted taxpayer dollars to build software that tracks, traces, and surveils the very populace that unwittingly funds it? Thiels true character, nothing short of a vulture, is demonstrated in the same op-ed when he upgrades the age-old quote from John D. Rockefeller who famously said, Competition is a sin. Thiels 21st Century equivalent: Competition is for losers. If you want to create and capture lasting value, look to build a monopoly. -Peter Thiel Transhumanism, monopoly, and the worst of crony capitalism? A dangerous combination, especially in a man who seems to conjure upthe worst elements of Science Fiction in the companies he touches. Also a dangerous man to have anywhere near the levers of power, but given Thiels entrenched nature within the Cybersecurity State, he will inevitably play a role in The Donalds administration to the bane ofreal libertariansthe world over. But the PayPal Mafia Don is hardly the only individual with transhuman ideals who The Donald keeps close. As the officially unofficial Trump spokesman, consummate insider and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is doubtlesslygunningfor a potential Trump Cabinet position. Gingrich has said of Trump, Hes not them. Hes not part of the club. He hasnt been through the Initiation Rites, he doesnt belong to the Secret Society. The same, of course, cannot be said of Gingrich himself, as heis among the more high-profile attendees of the Bohemian Grove. Newt doesnt limit his involvement with the Mystery Schools to Germanic festivities in Northern California, though; he is something of a priest in the modern mystery school of transhumanism, having co-authored the infamous NBIC Report and personally coined the term, The Age of Transitions. While American science and technology benefit the entire world, it is vital to recognize that technological superiority is the fundamental basis of the economic prosperity and national security of the United States. We are in an Age of Transitions, when we must move forward if we are not to fall behind, and we must be ready to chart a course forward through constantly shifting seas and winds. Organizations of all kinds, including government itself, must become agile, reinventing themselves frequently while having the wisdom to know which values are fundamental and must be preserved. -Newt Gingrich Newt Gingrichs segment of the NBIC Report is a fascinating read and not just for what it sees for the future, nor simply in outlining Newts own feelings on the Age of Transitions, but in demonstrating the breadcrumbs of suppressedhistory that have lead us to this point. Gingrich aptly opens his dialogue by mentioning Vannevar Bush, inventor of MEMEX and the precursor to the modern multimedia age. For more on the transhuman gambit and Newt Gingrichs role in it, there is an excellent documentary by filmmaker Aaron Franz on the topic: Regardless of who is (s)elected as the next President of the United States, the next administration will oversee vast changes to Internet infrastructure (and the Panopticon it supports). Be itthe handover of DNS from America to the U.N., net neutrality, or the draconian Internet of Things and Smart Grid,the barrel of Technofeudalisms gun is quickly finding itself turned on humanity at large, if it hasnt been aimed in that direction all along. With people like Thiel and Gingrich gearing up to spearhead a Technological Trump administration, disarming the State from the top-down in this regard seems an increasingly unlikely outcome. Or were you really under the impression that we could Make America Great Again and restore manufacturingwithoutrobots, automation, and artificial intelligence? Regardless of how one feels about Donald Trump, his numerous connections with the Deep State and key actors within it are utterly undeniable. Whether they are utterly indefensible is ultimately left to the reader. But the primary sources and interlocks outlined throughout this article arent merely guilt by association. Thisis how the intelligence community itself maps out potential threat vectors when tracking their own targets: People use human networks to organize the control of resources and geography. No person alone can control anything of significance. Presidents, drug lords and CEOs rely on people to execute their strategies and are constrained by the capabilities and interests of the people who work for them. Identifying these networks may be a daunting task depending on the network. For obvious reasons, criminal organizations and militant networks strive to keep their membership secret, and it is not always apparent who gives the orders and who carries out the orders in a political body. To discern whos who in a group, and therefore whether an individual matters in a group, requires both intelligence and analysis to make sense of the intelligence. Stratfor Admittedly, the network outlined herein is a rudimentary one and requires more fleshing out. But for all his anti-Globalist, Amerika First rhetoric, Donald Trump finds himself at the center of two key Globalist enterprises: The Deep State drug trade and the Technofeudal States transhuman gambit. While The Donald has done a masterful job in dressing himself up as antithetical to these interests, an Administration is not just a President its the support network of the seemingly immortal Deep State actors that supports them. And Donald Trump is most certainlyfrom the network. But is heforthe network? In this authors mind, Donalds Deep State connections belie three potential scenarios: Im a cynical sod with this crazy belief thatonly individuals working in concert with other individuals of their own free willcan ever change Humanityscurrent predicament, and thus, lean heavily towards Options #2 and #3. But for those starry-eyed dreamers who place their faith in the God of the State, heres to hoping that your next King of choicedoes not become a sacrificial one. Blogging under the pseudonym of Rusticus, the author and freedom activist operates a website, where this article first appeared, tracing the machinations of the Anglo-American Establishment throughout history while simultaneously documenting the process of creating a truly off-grid homestead. (www.statelesshomesteading.com) Excellent, well researched article. I like many, are hoping for the first scenario. Every highly successful, wealthy Techie/Wall Street/inventor was co-opted early on, and if they failed to submit, the FTC sued them into submission. A person is not allowed entry into the 1/10 of 1% club unless they submit. When they fully submit, they are allowed their eccentricities. Some of us were there, at the very beginning, and even approved the early business endeavors of these now fabulously powerful, wealthy companies, giving entrance into the pool of possible high tech super powers. Its no surprise that Paypal got its biggest boost by becoming eBays bank. Its no surprise that Facebook was able to steal technology from far more talented inventors and use it to sweep into the lives of 99% of those now glued to cell phones. Any competition has been stifled and destroyed. Trump has something they havent entirely smothered, and that is his own sense of individuality and a fierce loyalty to his children. Trump is not perfect by a long shot, but he did not sell his soul as Hillary and Bill Clinton and the Bush family members readily did. Trump may still desist from sheer vanity, but he did not sell his soul, not yet. In think scenario three is most likely. Show biz for ugly people, Dancing with the Psychopaths After scrolling down past the overly lengthy article, heres my conclusion. Assuming the reader is going to be participating in the voting process, we have some choices. The two main choices are Trump and Clinton. Johnson and Stein are a waste of time. Johnsons job is to weaken Trumps campaign by stealing votes and Stein is there to.. well.. do something. Shes a Communist. Nuff said about that. If you want to slow the damage of the NWO, vote Trump. No, there wont be a wall built. Its a nice idea but youll see Congress suddenly regrow the spine they allow to atrophy for Obama. That means no funding. You cant build good relations with Mexico while erecting a wall. If Trump can do something or anything to restore business and industry in America, that will provide both jobs and put a dent in Chinas [allowed] industrial and economic might. China only became a power because U.S. and Western politicians allowed it. We just reverse the process through taxes and tariffs. Clinton wont do that. Neither will Johnson or Stein. Trump, more than likely. Donald Trumps anti-Globalist rhetoric has stricken a chord with the American electorate. This is kind of an important distinction, so please take note: the past participle of the verb to strike is nearly always struck, not stricken. If you think about ways youve heard stricken used, it was either in a court setting (stricken from the record) or someone had an unfortunate health event (was stricken with double pneumonia). Other than the court thing, all uses of stricken as the past participle of strike relate to something unfortunate. Use has struck a chord with instead! So hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys in this age of deception. IMHO Donald is a man that cares deeply about people and The People there are no absolutes, no perfect person his rubbing elbows with establishment figures, his talk of pushing the War on Drugs and promoting Biometric IDs, his references to 9/11, the mass shootings and his quick signing on to the No Fly , No Buy legislation makes me suspicious. I just hope and pray he turns out to be a Champion of the People, Freedom and American sovereignty. If not I expect the People will chew him up and spit him out just like they did Obama. Hes a smart man, I dont think he would put himself up to that fate if he wasnt intending on doing the right thing. Lets hope so. if you are a billionaire, very difficult to do anything without being checked up on, and herded to meet certain larger interests. interestingly, everyone from fox to cnn to nyt to wp to and most every oligarch on the planet is Stay out of energy, telecom, big data, big media ownership, big manufacturing, military/space Isnt it interesting how its rare one tempers his own assessment with as much enthusiasm for the facts and other data points for a contrary assessment? Interesting indeed. The problem with the deep state and democracy is that it can be exploited, voting will only show the path of least resistance so if trump wins, racial tensions, and security could be exploited and it could actualy lead to building the wall making the problem even bigger, regardless of his true intentions, this is even easier since he can be blocked or simply can fail to do what he promised, this problem will continue unless candidates are forced to implement every step of their plans with deadlines, and face some repercussion for failing, now this vs the deep state wich can move easily away from public and trhough financial and social manipulation, makes solutions difficult as long as people have no way to disccus problems among different groups and find a solution regardless of political perceptions, this has been more easily accomplished in smaller contries. The Donald willfix it and fix it fast wings over the rockies circa July 2016. The Donald is the NWOs dream president! Ivanka will be pushing climate change while he manages law enforcement locally. 
1	A 14-foot crocodile bit off President Bush's left arm at the shoulder Monday, a White House memo reported. Bush, who was reportedly standing waist-deep in a swamp at Everglades National Park when the crocodile struck, also sustained severe puncture wounds and torn flesh in his hip and upper thigh. According to witnesses, Bush attempted to fend off the large reptile with his left arm, but the crocodile latched onto it above the elbow, dragged the president underwater, and ripped his arm from its socket. Bush's severed arm was unable to be recovered. Doctors confirmed that he will be fitted with a prosthetic limb in a procedure Friday, and that he is currently being treated for sepsis. Bush is resting comfortably in Annapolis Naval Hospital. 
2	Obama Caught Sending Millions In Social Security To THESE Shady Accounts The national debt is going up and up, nearly at $20 trillion. Obama doesnt seem to care as he has spent millions on golf, and now has been caught sending millions in social security to dead Americans. Investigations are still in action, and it is unclear whether this was an innocent mistake, or illegal activity. Social Security Administration has made an announcement that it is most likely criminal Americans that are stealing this money. If this is the case, the Obama administration needs to tighten up. How can they be letting people steal millions? The Obama administration is a mess. Do you think we need a huge change in administration? 
2	UNT Student Killed On NYE By Thugs The double standard weve seen in the media recently can no longer be ignoredthere is a one-sided story being told. If you need evidence of that, look no further than the story of Sara Mutschlechner. Sara was a 20-year-old University of North Texas student, who was shot in the head while driving. She was also white, if youre wondering why the name might not sound familiar. The young student was shot and killed on New Years morning in Denton, Texas, as she was driving three friends home from a party. The evening turned when a car filled with five or six black males pulled up next to her and made several undisclosed comments. The confrontation took an ugly turn when one of the males shot Sara in the head. Of course, the Dallas Morning News called the murder an incident of road rage, ignoring any racial implications of the crime. Authorities assume that the most likely reason for the confrontation began with sexual catcalling, and a likely negative reaction by the young girls. Although the media is hesitant to say this, racial hatred and misogyny likely led to Saras death. Many Americans have taken to social media to express their frustration with the reporting on the incident, claiming that the story would be told very differently if the races were reversed. What do you think? Do you agree?

2	Soldiers Of Odin Act As Vigilantes Against Violent Refugees In many European nations, weve seen a shocking rise in the rate of violent crime at the hands of Muslim migrants and refugees. The flood of these refugees have led to record-breaking rates of rape, robbery, and assault. Meanwhile, President Obama continues to insist that Islam is a religion of peace and refugees pose little threat to Americans. That veil is quickly lifted when we look at what is happening in other Western nations. The violence has gotten so bad that citizens are pushing back against these violent invaders. According to reports, a vigilante group in Finland has taken matters into their own hands, patrolling the streets of Helsinki on their own. The group is called the Soldiers of Odin, in reference to the ancient Nordic god of war. The men are reportedly doing everything they can to ensure that the streets are safe again for women, children and the elderlycommon victims of the attacks. A new far-right citizens group is sprouting chapters across Finland, The Washington Post reported. Its members are multiplying as this northern nation becomes a case study in the fear and suspicion gripping Europe after multiple sexual assaults allegedly committed by asylum seekers and others on New Years Eve. Authorities in these European nations have been slow to take action in protecting their citizens. Like Obama, they feel the pressure to open their doors to these refugees that we know very little about. These refugees do not respect our women, a 33-year-old man and group-member named Ilkka told reporters. I have four daughters, and they used to be safe in Finland. We need to do something about it. What do you think? Is this a clear warning to Obama of what can happen if we refuse to put our safety first? 
3	U.S. Violates Nuclear Arms Treaty - Tests B-61 NukeThe United States has successfully tested the B-61 bomb, which is in violation of the non-proliferation treaty for nuclear disarmament. According to the National Nuclear Security Administration, the United States successfully tested the B-61 nuclear bomb. The test was conducted on Tuesday by the Los Alamos and Sandia national laboratories, and the test was meant to verify how a new model of the B-61 bomb would work under routine conditions or accident scenarios, according to the NNSA. The analysis is a significant achievement and gives us confidence in our ability to move forward with our efforts to increase the safety and security of the bomb, Don Cook, NNSA deputy administrator for defense programs, said. Furthermore, the analysis included tests for a gravity nuclear bomb, called the MOD-12. The work on the MOD-12 has been ongoing for two years, and is aimed at keeping the B-61 bombs safe, and ready to use if necessary. The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, says that member States should be disarming their nuclear weapons, not restoring, rebuilding, arming, and testing them. This test seems to be in direct contradiction to the Treaty, at a time when the U.S. is engaged with measures to prevent Iran from enriching its uranium.

1	Following a harrowing experience last Thursday in which vacationer Seth Harris got caught in the Atlantic Ocean's undertow and almost drowned, the 26-year-old promised to take vengeance on the 41.1-million-square-mile body of water, which as of press time covered one-fifth of the globe. 'No one can pull something like this without suffering the consequences,' said Harris, adding that the 28,000-foot-deep ocean would 'rue the day' it made a swift change in current while Harris was swimming inside it. 'Anywhere [the Atlantic Ocean] goes, I'll be right there waiting for it.' The Earth's second largest body of water is the latest addition to Harris' revenge list, which also includes the Appalachian Mountains, the cardinal direction north, and Todd. 
2	Muslims Have Officially Taken A Majority In THIS Government Sector Of Michigan A very large city in Michigan, Hamtramck, is the first city in the nation to elect a majority Muslim committee. While they say that they are going to represent everybody, many people are outraged and protesting. There could be validity in their anger if these men are true Muslims. Much of Quran and Sharia law clash with what we believe as the United States. Who will these men side with when they have to choose between their country and religion? Do you think that this is a recipe for disaster?

This Could Be The End According to some recent reports, MSNBC recently received the news that the network performed far below their major competitors, including CNN and Fox News. Reportedly, television network has finished third in the demographic of 25 to 54 year olds, considered the most important demographic to reach. The network reportedly dropped 17% in this demographic, while Fox News was up 3%. In fact, their viewership was just more than half of Fox News viewers. Were going to get on the roadand outside of Washingtona lot more, claims Phil Griffin MSNBC president. Were going to keep opening up our aperture, while investing in original reporting on the broad range of stories that move and inspire Americans. What do you think of the new plan to increase ratings? Is MSNBC doomed? 
2	Youll Never Believe Which Fox News Anchor Called Robin Williams A Coward Recently, Fox News Host Shepard Smith upset many people when he called comedian Robin Williams a coward on the day that he committed suicide. Its hard to imagine, isnt it? Smith asked on the day he broke the news. You could love three little things so much, watch them grow, theyre in their mid-20s, and theyre inspiring you, and exciting you, and they fill you up with the kind of joy you could never have known. And yet, something inside you is so horrible or youre such a coward or whatever the reason that you decide that you have to end it. Robin Williams, at 63, did that today. Immediately after the comments were made, viewers started to attack Shepard for his insensitivity. I spent an entire hour talking about how much this man affected peoples lives and brought greatness to this world. I was just wondering aloud what could have made this man want to end it all. And it reminds us that we all have responsibility as friends and neighbors to help take responsibility to prevent this from happening. There are people who process suicide as a black-and white-issue. I dont process anything as black-and-white. I was sorry to read online the people who see the world in a black-and-white way, and to suggest that they might have a definitive analysis of why he did such a thing. What I wanted to do is celebrate his life and find some meaning in our own lives, since we often do know someone who is reaching out, and we have a responsibility to help that person maybe a phone call or a door knock is in order. But no matter how you process it: Look at what this family is going through. I would never presume to know anything about his private life. And if any of his family members and friends were to have seen me use the word coward, I would be horrified. I would just to apologize to the end of the earth to anyone who might think that I meant to openly call him a coward. To the core of my being, I regret it. It just came out of my mouth. And Im so sorry. And to anyone and their families who see that, I am sorry.

'Rufus here is what we call a Throat-Slashing Double-Lifer,' Ditmeier said while showing off an inmate to host Jay Leno. 'These distinctive markings mean he's a hardcore in the Crips.' The educational segment provoked peals of laughter when an Encino Wife-Beater urinated on Leno's shoulder and stabbed him in the eye with a pen. 
1	Her senses bewitched by the intoxicating memory of peppermint-flavored syrup, local woman Kate Nothern saved herself from the bitterest of agonies Friday morning when, regaining control of her faculties in the nick of time, she stopped herself from imagining the taste of a peppermint mocha on her tongue. Have patience, my love, lest your mind be tormented by a phantom ambrosia of yuletide spices and caffeine, the monk-like woman told herself, banishing all thoughts of steamed milk and sweetened cream until the precious elixir would come to Starbucks next week. Were I to taste but a drop of peppermint and espresso, surely my mind would waste in torment for want of sweet minted delights. The time is nigh, but alas, not yet shall I allow my tongue to seek out the sensual pleasures of winter. At press time, Nothern had reportedly caused herself further pain by remembering that the entrancing blend of earthly delights would be four fucking dollars. 
2	Obama Refuses To Acknowledge And Denounce Violent Protests... This Is Getting Out Of Control With violence escalating at the hands of outraged liberals, many Americans believe it is time for President Barack Obama to step in and demand an end to the chaos. This week, he confirmed that he will do what he can to ensure a smooth transition for Donald Trump into the White House. Here are some of the highlights from his statement, courtesy of Fox News: I think its a healthy thing for the Democratic Party to go through some reflection. Democrats should not waiver on our core beliefs and principles. I believe that we have better ideas, but I also believe that good ideas dont matter if people dont hear them. Nobody said democracy is supposed to be easy, its hard. And in a big country like this, it probably should be hard. The learning curve always continues. This is a remarkable job. It is like no other job on Earth. (On his conversations with Trump): I emphasized to him thatin an election like this that was so hotly contestedgestures matter. Donald Trump will be the next presidentThose who didnt vote for him have to recognize that thats how democracy works. 
3	Fighting Back Against Western SanctionsUlson Gunnar Two rounds of sanctions have been leveled against Russia targeting Russian banking, arms manufacturing, and oil industries. Even as the sanctions are marketed to the world as Russia paying a price for its role in destabilizing Ukraine, Russia has been busy cultivating ties and expanding markets that are increasingly found outside the Wests spheres of influence and, therefore, beyond the reach of these sanctions. Russia is also looking inward to diversify its markets and seek socioeconomic independence. Instead of viewing the sanctions as an impassable obstacle requiring capitulation to Wall Street and London, Russia has viewed them as a challenge to sever reliance on unstable markets. More so, Russias quest for alternative markets is a means of applying its own form of pressure back upon the West. While the West attempts to portray the sanctions as cutting off Russia, the restrictions do at least as much to isolate the West itself. Multipolar World Vs Western Hegemony In a unipolar world, supranational geopolitical blocs like the EU (European Union), the African Union, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), and regional free trade agreements serve to consolidate and open up the collective socioeconomic potential of the planet to those at the top of this international order. Currently, this constitutes the special interests on Wall Street, in the city of London, and among the special interests converging in Brussels. Interdependence is intentionally cultivated among the various members of individual blocs and between supranational blocs themselves. This ensures that leverage is constantly maintained over each individual national entity, making individual nations incapable of sidestepping collective initiatives of the blocs they are a part of. In the European Union, this can be clearly seen as individual nations benefiting from ties with Moscow are attempting with limited success to rebel against broader EU sanctions against Russian industries. The use of sanctions across several supranational blocs, including North America, the EU, and to a lesser extent, the Wests proxies in nations like East Asias Japan, had at one point critically threatened those nations targeted by them. Nations like Iran or Cuba who have suffered under Western sanctions for decades are clearly behind because of them. Behind, but not out. As technology enables each individual nation to procure wealth on its own it once depended on trade with other nations for, the impact of sanctions is diminishing. The impact of sanctions is also undermined by a growing alternative international order outside of the Wests unipolar paradigm. BRICS, the nations of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, constitute the leading edge of the rise of the developing world. No longer satisfied with subservience to the Wall Street-London global order, nor eager to find themselves entangled beneath another global empire led by another global superpower, these nations are attempting to redefine international relations in more traditional, multilateral terms. Becoming self-sufficient economically while redefining international ties in a less interdependent manner, appears to be the defining aspect of the emerging multipolar world BRICS is attempting to create. The creation of international trade outside the traditional framework of the IMF, the World Trade Organization, and other institutions created by the West, for the West, has gradually eroded the impact of sanctions, penalties, and monopolies empowered by Western domination over international finance and global trade. More to Do While Russia seems to be taking Western sanctions in stride, the fact that the United States and Europe are targeting Russia in the first place is a warning to all members of BRICS as well as to developing nations around the world. In the capitals of nations residing outside the Wall Street-London international order, the possibility that any one of them could be next should be at the center of economic planning and the future of their respective foreign policy. Creating alternative markets outside this international order could be a short-term stop gap. In Russias case, growing ties with China in terms of energy exports ensures a lasting alternative market for Russian natural gas that is set only to grow in the future as the West attempts to cutoff and isolate both Moscow and Beijing. Seeking to create economic opportunities and progress domestically could be a more long-term and lasting solution. Russias decision to ban the import of food products from nations targeting it with recent sanctions gives BRICS an opportunity to expand in the void left by European, American, and Australian agricultural industries. It also gives an opportunity for Russian producers to expand their operations domestically. In the immediate aftermath of Russia banning imports from the West, stocks in Russias agricultural industry soared. While such spikes are more due to speculation than an actual jump in value, the fact that these producers now have an incentive to expand may create long-term value to justify investor confidence today. But rather than waiting for sanctions to begin disrupting the socioeconomic status quo of a nation residing outside Western hegemony, a disruption the sanctions are designed specifically to create, why shouldnt BRICS and other developing nations begin the process of developing their domestic markets and alternative international trading regimes beforehand? If Russia, the largest nation geographically, the ninth most populous, and with one of the most formidable conventional and nuclear military forces on Earth, can be targeted for sanctions aimed to cripple its economy, then any nation can be targeted. Russia, with its resources and leadership is able to cope and adapt to these sanctions and even perhaps come out stronger in spite of them. Other nations might not weather such adversity so gracefully. Across BRICS and other nations in the developing world, a concerted effort must be made to move away from the interdependence of globalization and back toward greater multilateral trade regimes and greater domestic economic self-sufficiency. Ulson Gunnar is a New York-based geopolitical analyst and writer especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this first appeared. 
1	After the veteran New England Patriots quarterback secured his record-tying fourth Super Bowl championship and third Super Bowl MVP, scores of Tom Bradys harshest critics across the nation announced Friday that they are already eagerly looking ahead to next season. It was a disappointing end to the year, but its over now, so its time to start laying down next seasons groundwork for why Brady ultimately doesnt belong in the conversation of the all-time best NFL quarterbacks, said Pennington, NJ resident Isaac Reynolds, who, along with millions of other tireless Brady detractors, has already turned his attention toward the coming six months of building arguments as to why the Spygate and Deflategate controversies tarnish all of the 37-year-olds accomplishments. Its critical to stay motivated throughout the offseason and focus on any potential weaknesses in Bradys career, like the fact that Joe Montanas perfect 4-0 record in Super Bowls clearly means hes the more clutch player. The important thing to remember is that its easy to get complacentespecially after doing this for so longbut you always need to be ready for Bradys next run of two or three bad games, otherwise youll miss an opportunity to argue that hes too old and should just retire already. Bradys critics also reportedly committed to offering up nothing but arduous praise for Peyton Manning in the future, noting that the Denver Broncos quarterback would have undoubtedly won more Super Bowls than Brady if hed just had better coaches throughout his career. 
2	BREAKING: Legendary Actress Found Dead... Hollywood In Mourning Legendary actress and voiceover artist Janet Waldo reportedly passed away on Sunday morning at the age of 96-years-old. Waldo was best known for voicing the character of Judy in The Jetsons. The popular cartoon series ran from September 23, 1962 to March 17, 1963. The show continued to run on repeat for decades, with several new episodes being added between 1985 to 1987 as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbara. It can still be viewed on Amazon to this day. Throughout her career, Waldo voiced many Hanna-Barbara cartoon characters, including her role as Josie in Josie And The Pussycats. She also played several roles in The Flintstones. Waldo continued working into her late 70s, with one of her final roles being a guest spot in 1998 in the adult animated TV series King Of The Hill. Her very last role was as Penelope Pitstop in a Wacky Races video game. She was 80 years old at the time. Waldos daughter Lucy told reporters that her mother was diagnosed with a benign but inoperable brain tumor five years ago. Were you a fan of Waldos? Will you pray for her family?

1	A growing number of law schools have begun requiring applicants to specify in writing whether they do, in fact, have some desire to attend law school, or are just using it as a predictable last resort. 'We want to separate those who actually see themselves becoming attorneys from those who just want to put off joining the adult world for another three years,' Fordham Law School director Bruce Green said Thursday, showing reporters an application that asks students to check boxes marked 'Really?' and 'Seriously? You're really that into this?' 'We want prospective students to know that they will actually have to study the U.S. legal system. As in, the whole thing.' Word of the new requirement has already reportedly caused a 450 percent spike nationwide in applications to graphic design schools. 
2	American Embassy In Israel Flies Rainbow Flag To Celebrate Homosexuality Recently, the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv decided to hang a rainbow flag to show solidarity with LGBT Israelis, and to celebrate gay pride week. For the first time in history, the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv has raised the Pride flag together with our American flag, Dan Shapiro, U.S. Ambassador to Israel, posted on Facebook, We are proud to join with the municipality of Tel Aviv- Yafo and its residents in celebrating LGBT Pride Week. According to reports, 130,000 people are expected attend gay pride events in Tel Aviv this month. One such event is the citys annual pride parade. The number of participants would break records. June has typically been the month for pride events around the world, and now, Obama has made is official by declaring it Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month in the United States. What do you think of these recent actions? 
1	Dead-tissue reanimation, projected in the 1980s to be standard medical practice by 2001, won't be possible for at least another decade, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Mad Science Research Center announced Monday. Mad Science & Technology 'They laughed when we said we would rekindle the divine spark of life in flesh grown cold and lifeless,' said MIT mad scientist Dr. Otto Von Verruchtheit, the nation's leading corpse-reanimation expert, speaking from the castle that houses the MSRC's state-of-the-art corpse-reanimation laboratory. 'Oh, how they laughed! They said we were mad to attempt such an unholy ambition by the century's end. Fools! Fools, all of them! However, in this case, they were actually right.' Von Verruchtheit then raised his arms to the heavens, attempting to summon a lightning bolt and thunder crash to punctuate his remarks. After several unsuccessful attempts, he gave up. Von Verruchtheit's colleagues in the mad-scientific community admitted that that it may be decades before reanimation technology becomes a reality. 'The truth is, there are certain forms of horrible knowledge that Man was not meant to possess,' said University of Chicago mad scientist Dr. Hans-Klaus Menschesser. 'A twisted mind lusting after the unclean power to play God is not enough to bring the dead back to life. Only through strict adherence to the scientific method can these hubristic and unnatural schemes become possible.' Stanford University mad scientist Dr. Hugo Dammerung. Still, others are more confident. 'My plan to form a Modern Adam from the mere dust and clay of newly dead matter is not yet lost,' said Stanford University's Dr. Hugo Dammerung, who predicted routine cadaver reanimation by 2000 in the October 1989 issue of Mad Scientific American. 'True, I was unable to bring Helga, my beloved research assistant, back from the realm of death by the tenth anniversary of her fatal accident, but the problems are merely technical and will doubtless be solved by further diligent research and grave-robbing. And, indeed, why rush? Sweet Helga remains unwithered by the cruel ravages of Time, still as fair and fresh as the day she fell from her horse on the misty moor.' Dammerung then tenderly embraced the moldering pile of desiccated female remains on the stone dais of Stanford's Undergraduate Necrolab. During the demented-tech boom of the '80s and early '90s, the mad sciences made great strides, including the development of high-voltage neck bolts and the discovery of a neon-green fluid that produces smoke when poured into beakers. But the past five years have witnessed a significant drop-off in federal funding for university-level mad-science programs. 'Just a few years ago, this field was booming,' National Mad-Science Foundation director Dr. Gustav Blutgeist said. 'In 1995, Cal Tech's mad-science Ph.D. program banished 39 brilliant-but-obsessed young men for practicing on non-living matter. By last year, that number had dropped to just four.' The situation has been exacerbated by the elimination of hunchback-studies programs at many technical colleges. Since 1990, the number of schools offering a two-year hunchbacking degree has dropped from 492 to 39, leaving many mad scientists without much-needed grotesque lab assistants. 'I have been waiting with my large syringe of glowing blue fluid and a brain in a glass jar since 1994,' said University of Colorado mad scientist Dr. Zunther Kornbluth, speaking from his hidden laboratory high in the Rockies. 'I believe I have solved the problem of violent reactions to organ music which so marred my experiments with the rabbits. Now, all I need is one major research grant to fund my raised lightning-attractor table, and I will create life! Life, do you hear me? Life!' 
1	An emaciated and heavily bandaged Osama bin Laden offered the U.S. a final chance to surrender Monday. Speaking via satellite, bin Laden issues a final warning to the U.S. 'Enemies of Allah, this is your last chance to leave Afghanistan alive,' said a battered, soot-covered bin Laden in a videotaped statement broadcast on the Al Jazeera satellite network. 'I mean it.' Staring directly into the camera with his good eye, bin Laden reiterated his vow to drive the U.S. from the country. 'You may have dozens of bases in Afghanistan. You may have thousands of bombs,' bin Laden said. 'But know this: We still have three or four guns and a full crate of bullets. And some knives, I think. You cannot hope to prevail.' A nearby goatherder then helped bin Laden brandish a rifle over his head. 'With every military advance you make, your forces become more spread out and weakened, while the Taliban's become more concentrated in an increasingly small space,' bin Laden said. 'You are practicing the mathematics of defeat. Give up now.' The videotape was accompanied by a written statement that explicitly laid out the Taliban's instructions for surrender. A Taliban soldier prepares to attack the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit. 'Men of the armies of Pakistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan; Americans of the 101st Airborne, 10th Mountain Division, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, 4th Special Operations Group, 8th Army Mechanized Battalion, SEAL Teams Four, Six, and Nine, and the Aircraft Carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson... you are hereby required to report to the smoldering remains of our air base southeast of Kandahar,' the statement read. 'Turn your weapons over to Kamal and Azir, these two guys who should still be there. Kamal will be the one with the bad limp. After you have been processed by them and your surrender has been accepted, you will be released and sent home as soon as possible. Please, do not throw away any more lives in this useless struggle. Please.' 'The noose is tightening,' said Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, gnawing on a dead horse's hoof. 'With every Taliban soldier you capture or kill, your selection of enemies grows more limited. Our remaining soldiers, on the other hand, enjoy a virtually limitless array of Allied soldiers to shoot. Before long, it will be virtually impossible for you to find someone to engage on the field of battle. Then, victory will be ours.' Omar then closed his eyes and began to rock slowly back and forth. According to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, American military leaders are having difficulty locating the few remaining pockets of Taliban personnel, hindering U.S. efforts to force a surrender. 'We are carefully analyzing bin Laden's videotaped message for any possible clues to his whereabouts,' Rumsfeld said. 'By analyzing the background vegetation and rock formations, the length and position of the shadows, and other subtle clues, we may be able to determine the location of the Taliban's temporary headquarters and send in a strike force for around-the-clock shelling.' 'It's not yet clear where bin Laden was,' Rumsfeld added, 'but he seemed to be speaking from some sort of gigantic, bombed-out litter box.' Asked if he had considered or listened to the content of bin Laden's message, Rumsfeld said, 'Why, no.' 
3	Illinois Governor Issues New Proposal for Gun ControlBrandon Turbeville Quinn is using his amendatory veto power as Governor to make changes to a bill dealing with ammunition sales and add language that would prohibit the sale, manufacture, purchase, and possession of semi-automatic assault weapons and attachments. Now that Quinn has made his changes to the bill, Illinois lawmakers will have to make the choice as to whether they will accept the amended version or reject it. They could also simply not call a vote on the legislation and allow it to die. The bill, with new language added by Quinn, also specifically bans the AK-47, AR-15, and TEC-9. Saying that he believes the time for gun control is now, Quinn is not backing down from his own assault on the second amendment. Its very clear that these particular weapons are not designed to do anything but to have human targets, Quinn stated. The new language inserted into the bill via Quinn is deeply disturbing for a number of reasons not the least of which being the basic violation of the Constitutional right of Americans to keep and bear arms. Keep in mind, the bill bans the very possession of so-called assault weapons. One can only imagine where such a decree might lead in the climate of the 2012 police state that the United States has now become. It should also be pointed out that Pat Quinn is actually from Chicago, a city which already has stringent (and unconstitutional) gun laws. In addition, it has one of the highest crime rates in the nation. Thus, if the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, then Governor Quinn is mentally incapable of holding his position any longer. Nevertheless, Quinns ridiculous additions to the Illinois state congressional legislation is just another move in the propaganda push against the second amendment in the wake of the Colorado shooting which itself increasingly points to being staged for just this purpose. Although Pat Quinns statement about semi-automatic weapons, like Michael Bloombergs statement regarding deer not wearing bulletproof vests, might sound convincing to some, it is also an erroneous argument. The fact is that the second amendment does grant the American people the right to own semi-automatic weapons, as it was never included in the Constitution for the purpose of deer hunting and skeet shooting but for the defense of the people against a tyrannical government among other threats to their liberty and well-being. Pat Quinn is just one more politician in a long line who begins his attack on gun ownership with the stock statement of I respect the second amendment but . . . Unfortunately for Quinn and the rest of his ilk, his respect or lack thereof for the second amendment is irrelevant as this right is not up for debate. It is high time the American people begin to remind their politicians of this fact. Read other articles by Brandon Turbeville here.

1	Officials from New York Road Runners stripped American Meb Keflezighi of his 2009 ING New York City Marathon victory Wednesday after a blood sample taken from his fetlock was found to contain high levels of performance-enhancing horse. 'Meb's fellow competitors voiced their doubts about him immediately after the event,' NYRR president Mary Wittenberg said. 'In addition to his remarkable speed, unusual race-day height, and distinctive 'clip-clop' gait, Keflezighi's frequent nickering caused the other runners to speculate that he may have been using a horse in some fashion.' Added Wittenberg, 'Also, just before the start, he lifted up his tail and loudly deposited a 9-inch-high pile of steaming fecal matter on the pavement, an unusual occurrence even in the world of long-distance running.' Keflezighi finished the race in 48 minutes and 12 seconds, easily setting a new world record and defeating his nearest competitor by one hour and 20 minutes. Course workers, spectators, and event sponsors have all presented damaging evidence pointing toward Keflezighi's use of equine enhancements. Volunteers working refreshment tables during the race said Keflezighi took water only twiceat miles nine and 17consuming roughly 10 gallons each time, and was the only professional runner in the men's event to request an oat, carrot, and sugar lump station. In addition, a spokesman for Nike told reporters the company provided Keflezighi with six shoes for the marathon, four of which required special construction before being nailed onto his feet. Hundreds of people who watched the race have also come forward with photographs showing Keflezighi mounted atop what experts now believe to be a 2-to-4-year-old chestnut-brown thoroughbred. 'Come to think of it, he was moving at a pace that didn't seem human,' spectator Mark Rolland said. 'And when the marathon was over, the American flag they tried to drape around him didn't even come close to fitting around his body.' 'Last year he was just this small guy, but when he showed up to the starting line this year, his neck and head were noticeably thicker,' said David Willey, editor in chief of Runner's World magazine. 'He looked like he had put on at least a half ton of muscle.' The NYRR's Wittenberg said during a postrace press conference that if the evidence proves conclusively that Keflezighi used a horse to improve his speed and endurance, it would not only have a severe impact on his career, but could cast doubt on the whole culture of long-distance running. 'It may seem hard to believe this could happen, especially at this level,' said Dr. Raymond Prentiss, a medical adviser for USA Track & Field. 'But people are so eager to believe in man's ability to push the boundaries of achievement that they blind themselves to a competitor who looks a little too strong, runs a mile a few minutes faster, and stands a few hands taller than the competition.' 'In Keflezighi's case, we ignored what his rapidly improving times, flowing mane, and shapely withers were trying to tell us until it was too late,' Prentiss added. 'The fact that he was spending an hour after each event currycombing should have been a major tip-off.' As of press time, Keflezighi is cooperating with the sanctioning bodies and has returned the $170,000 he was awarded for the victory. He has also surrendered his racing singlet and shorts, saddle, saddle blanket, and bridle for further inspection and testing by technical personnel. Officials with the World Marathon Majors series said that Keflezighi will likely be banned from future races, including Boston, Chicago, the 2010 Belmont Stakes, and Berlin. In light of the discovery, marathon officials are taking a closer look at many of the entrants in this year's race, including British runner Paula Radcliffe, a former winner who placed a tearful fourth in the women's event after fracturing her cannon bone and had to be put down mere minutes after finishing. 
2	BREAKING: Articles Of Impeachment Finally Sent To Congress According to recent reports, an article of impeachment was sent to congress this week, and were betting that President Obama is not too happy about it. The article was drawn up by Constitutional lawyer Michael Connelly, and was written in accordance with Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution. The article begins with the following: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Of course, many of the abovementioned have already been violated by Obama. The document continues: Resolution Impeaching Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. Resolved. That Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate: Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Barack Hussein Obama, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors. What do you think will happen as Congress reviews the article? Will Obama finally be impeached? Let us know your thoughts! 
3	Vaccine Maker Admits on FDA Website That DTaP Vaccine Causes AutismBy Catherine J. Frompovich According to the U.S. FDAs online Biologics Blood Vaccines publication, Sanofi Pasteurs Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (DTaP) package insert information under the section for Adverse Reactions, which runs from page 6 to page 11, we find the following declared admission that DTaP caused autism during post-approval use of Tripedia vaccine. See the copy and paste information below. So, why all the denials that a vaccine hasnt or cant cause autism? Parents, heres your proof! Tripedia Additional Adverse Reactions Adverse events reported during post-approval use of Tripedia vaccine include idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, SIDS, anaphylactic reaction, cellulitis, autism, convulsion/grand mal convulsion, encephalopathy, hypotonia, neuropathy, somnolence and apnea. Events were included in this list because of the seriousness or frequency of reporting. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequencies or to establish a causal relationship to components of Tripedia vaccine.2 [1] The reference 2 above refers to Sanofi Pasteur Inc., Data on File 072503. [2] Personally, Id love to examine that Data on File 072503! It should be noted that Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Concentrates (For Further Manufacturing Use) are produced by The Research Foundation for Microbial Diseases of Osaka University (BIKEN), Osaka, Japan, under United States (US) license, and are combined with diphtheria and tetanus toxoids manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur Inc. Tripedia vaccine is filled, labeled, packaged, and released by Sanofi Pasteur Inc. [3] Whats in Tripedia that probably can interfere with brain chemistry and neurology? According to the Tripedias package insert, some ingredients include: Bovine extract, formaldehyde used to inactivate microorganisms a couple of times, ammonium sulfate, aluminum potassium sulfate, 2 growth mediums: modified Mueller and Miller is one; the other is Stainer-Scholte medium. Mueller and Miller medium, according to the information I found, contains: glucose, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate dibasic, monopotassium, phosphate, magnesium sulfate hydrate, ferrous sulfate heptaphydrate, cystine hydrochloride, tyrosine hydrochloride, urasil hydrochloride, Ca-pantothenate in ethanol, thiamine in ethanol, pyridoxin-hydrochloride in ethanol, riboflavin in ethanol, biotin in ethanol, sodium hydroxide, beef heart infusion (de- fatted beef heart and distilled water), casein [milk protein] solution[4] basically a mixture of sugar, salt, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals While Stainer-Scholte medium has the following ingredients: tris hydrochloride, tris base, glutamate (monosodium salt) [MSG], proline, salt, monopotassium phosphate, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, ferrous sulfate, asorbic acid, niacin, glutathione [5] The vaccine is formulated without preservatives, but contains a trace amount of thimerosal [(mercury derivative), (0.3 g mercury/dose)] from the manufacturing process. Each 0.5 mL dose also contains, by assay, not more than 0.170 mg of aluminum and not more than 100 g (0.02%) of residual formaldehyde. The vaccine contains gelatin and polysorbate 80 (Tween-80), which are used in the production of the pertussis concentrate. [6] [CJF emphasis added] Probable cause ingredients for adverse reactionsespecially neurological, in my opinion, include: casein[7], to which some children are allergic; MSGan excitotoxin[8]; thimerosal-ethylmercury[9]; aluminum[10]; formaldehyde[11]; gelatin[12]; and polysorbate 80[13]. Now that we have at least one vaccine manufacturer leveling with the medical profession, why arent pediatricians, nurses, and all medical personnel, plus the media, not telling parents and guardians that the DTaP vaccine has caused autism and also telling parents ALL the adverse effects that appear in vaccine package inserts? To take the vaccine debacle further, most of the mandated vaccines for infants and children, contain many of the above ingredients, which must be stopped from being injected into infants, toddlers, teens and even adults! Its time for Congress to rescind the Get out of Jail Free card for vaccine makers and stop the aggressive onslaught of the Autism Spectrum Disorder [1 in 45 kids (2015)[14]] that is depriving children of a fulfilling life and ruining families emotionally, financially, and physically to the point of parents divorcing because of the stresses of ASD in a family. To really understand the vaccine conundrum, plus crimes of fraudulent science, data, and skullduggery, readers should know that the new motion picture documentary VAXXED is being released April 1st, 2016. For information on how you can get your local movie theater to show it, heres the link for the movie on how to get it distributed to theaters. Its about time vaccines are publicly acknowledged by the feds and the media for all the health damages they have caused. Just check out the CDCs VAERS reports and the vaccine damage payouts by the HHS/HRSA; see pages 5 and 9. A grand total of $3,325,248,027.02 thats Billions! have been paid for vaccine adverse reactions and deaths from 1989 to 2016 so far. Truly, vaccines are a crime against humanity, in my opinion.

However I was forced to stop paying attention to Natural News completely because once I started pointing out (in the comments section) how Natural News had SUDDENLY SWITCHED from reporting the evidence that the San Bernardino terrorist attack was an obvious false flag in order to start parroting exactly what the corporate media was saying, I was BANNED from even being allowed to comment at all ! Truly awakened people need to know how much the alternative sites are now being completely controlled. Controlled opposition? Seems more often the case than not. Governments the world over are putting huge resources into trying to manipulate information on the internet. Like you, we must always be vigilant and question more. Get information from multiple sources etc, and discuss. Well, your post for this article seems to have survived. Maybe it was banned, Sparky, because it was absurd and highly insulting to the victims. Have you considered that the shooters might have been cognitively impaired by chemtrails? mmj plug available for delivery contact us at 512 640 9206 or visit our website Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequencies or to establish a causal relationship to components of Tripedia vaccine. Events reported may or may not be associated with the vaccine. But whatever the cause, it is required that it be reported. The likely increase in autism is GMO foods (3/4 of which contain the carcinpgen glyphosate) , which show an exact correlation, but unlike vaccines, during which trials many illnesses may occur for many reasons, GMO foods are not required to make such reports. A certain number of people get autism; a certain number will get it taking any drug, vaccine, or even food. This is not imply causation. Making this assumption, or promoting it as an admission is naked dishonesty. And no, I a not a paid shill, tho I welcome donations. Anyone calling me a paid shill will be guilty of the crime of libel and exposed as a paid shill, using rule #1: logic or evidence should be met with the accusation that the person presenting is a paid shill. It is likely that Monsanto pays shills to call those who point to the correlation of GMO use and the rise of autism as paid shills. Its a strategy that works for useful idiots. We know they fund universities, give former and future govt workers in the regulatory agencies (revolving door) lucrative jobs, and spend millions to deny the scientific claims of WHO and other researchers who point out the dangers of GMO food production. I would like to see such studies of autism based on GMO food consumption, wouldnt you? Meanwhile, adverse effects during a trial are no more proved to be a cause than a car accident can be claimed to be a result of the trial. Ok, send donations now. This is old news.

We need all the help we can get, these days, from those who have something to sell us. Not to mention nagalase, cas9/crispr and bacteriophages Look up VICP Vaccine Injury Compensation Plan, its now paid out up to $3 BILLION worth of injuries, all vaccine makers have to pay into the plan Corporations pay nothing. They never can. Manufacturers fund this scheme through an excise tax levied on them of 75c per vaccine component. Mike Stevens, corporations are merely the tax collectors. Nope, the manufacturers pay the excise tax on vaccines. Mike Stevens, corporations are merely the tax collectors for the 75 cents.. Not that it would matter in any case (imo)- taxpayers pay for public goods like schools, libraries and the like. Last I checked, NOT having the disease circulating in the public was a very public very good although admittedly, a very tangible one. Did you actually read the revelatory text? Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of and this bit also, Events were included in this list because of the seriousness or frequency of reporting. No proof. People are always looking to point fingers when something bad happens to their family members. Im not a huge fan of big phrma, but i dont think its vaccines causing autism No reason to cut corners so Ill say it straight out: Non-therapeutic vaccines cause SIDS, autism, allergies, asthma, and many other issues. Do you even see the precription adds on tv for drugs? I dont actually own a TV but have seen the commercials when visiting other people. Its wrong to lie. Then stop Daddy Love (which is a creepy name). Dont be ridiculous. What does the NVICP have to do with smallpox? Obviously you cant read I did and have a copy of the Tripedia insert on my desk? They have to self report, the Pharma loving doctors wont do it. Or a bunch of anti-vaxers cranks are reporting it to get it into the list of reported adverse reactions. Still 0 reputable studies showing a link. Hark! Doth I hear another DUH MOMENT? Exactly. duhxactly Rulings by courts are not science; science is not ruled by government, committee, courts, or authorities. It is a self-correcting enterprise run by other scientists, with peer review in a democratic, anarchistic way. The value of vaccines is based on a cost/benefit analysis. There is some harm done, much good. Those who are harmed deserve to be compensated but this does not refute the science or the analysis of the good done vs the harm. All medicine involves risks and a certain degree of bad results; that is not reason to ban or denounce all medicine. The day that courts decide what is science is the day we revert to the political science of the Soviet Union, where science was dictated by the government. Meanwhile, those who can show a reasonable harm are treated with respect. Events were included in this list because of the seriousness or frequency of reporting. Meaning that people with autisic kids called because they thought it was the vaccine. Something that will be kept undercoverI have been involved trying to bring the MMR jab in the 90s to be proved causing my two sons mild/moderate Autism the USA government says it was not the case the rest of the creepy crawlers follow and hide Vital information ..but if it was the Presidents or UK Prime Ministers child welllll all would be a story !!!! There have been numerous parents Whats numerous? Hundreds? Thousands? 10s of thousands? How many people have gotten vaccines? Even the parents of autistic kids have had vaccines I hate big phrma, but something else is causing autism. When was the last time the corners, there have been thousands of parents with children that have reported non-therapeutic vaccine damage but most autism reports were refused unless the lawyers changed the description of the damage to brain damage. The refusal to accept the damage as described as autism was part of the coverup. Using brain damage instead did allow a tiny bit of money to get to parents of damaged children. Not sure what all this means. Ive got big problems with big phrma and how our courts and health insurance system works. But its nutz to say all vaccines dont help and harm or kill more. I guarantee you if your kid had small pox or whooping cough you wouldnt hesitate to give them the vaccine. Sorry, but my doesnt exist statement is a partially trick statement.

We have available medical strains , cannabis oil and others for sale visit our webpage at 420cannabisplug dot com Why bother highlighting a story it said reported. There is no evidence that the TDaP vaccination actually CAUSES Autism. Most of you do not remember what it was like before vaccinations. Guess we have to go back to families losing 2 or 3 of their children like in the 19th century for the nonsense about vaccinations end. When I was young, we didnt have many vaccines but later in the 1950s we stopped dumping human waste in rivers above where other city intake for public water were and where people swam in an effort to stop fecal to oral diseases like cholera, polio, and typhoid. It worked. A few comments to this Gish-gallop: I did not have to attend school in the 50s with measles. Where on earth did you come up with such a nutty idea? In the 40s and earlier, people had to put a quarantine sign on their door when there was measles in the household, to warn people off. The US infant mortality rate is dropping, and is actually at its lowest point ever. Sonja Henie, what do you call sanitation that increases polio? Polio vaccine was introduced in 1955. By that time, 70% of households had public water/sewage systems. You would not have been allowed to go to school with measles. No one in my acquaintance has ever had a chickenpox party. Sonja Henie, actually, the non-therapeutic inactive virus IPV polio vaccine was tried on a couple of people in 1952 with real testing starting in 1953. Oh, bull! Show me one documented case of this cancer. Sonja Henie, You said it, you provide the proof. Thats how it works here, bub. I dont do research into vaccines, either, but I can back up what I say. You cant because youre lying. I said what? Perhaps hundreds of things. Oh, quit being cute. Document what you said in the post I responded to . Thats the expectation on this board. Sonja Henie, of the hundreds of statements that I made, I give you permission to ask someone to figure which you want more information on, to do web searches for you, and then read and explain the results to you. You dont have anything to back up all these cancer from SV-40 stories, do you? Sonja Henie, I believe you are asking for a study that had two groups of people with one group assaulted with the slow-acting SV40, one group not assaulted, with the people followed to the normal incubation of 20 to 30 years or longer 50 years to see which developed any of the three types of cancer that SV40 causes. No, Im asking for some proof of your statements. The same thing that I posted for Mike Stevens: Really somitcw, you should be ashamed that you cant back up what you saying. The shame is all yours. Sonja Henie,, your continue off topic and red herring posts to disrupt the discussion about harmful non-therapeutic vaccines which does not contribute to the discussion about harmful non-therapeutic vaccines. Burden of proof is on you, buddy. Did you know that vaccination can cure leukaemia, cancer and old age? Mike Stevens, cute red herring but trolls use it often. I couldnt have asked for a clearer admission that you vomited out a Gish gallop if I tried. Mike Stevens, still trying to confuse or block the discussion of how harmful There are many, look that up. You said it, you prove it. Look it up is a cheaters way out. You have any proof of any of it? People did not put quarantine signs on their doors for measles, are you kidding? People had measles parties so their kids would get it while young. I, my family, relatives, whole school, whole town like every other place had childhood diseases and didnt even see a Dr. I dont remember even one person having any serious injuries. Not this crap again! Incidence of polio by year (scroll down): These so-called measles parties are about 99% urban legend. I grew up in the pre-vaccine era; I was 14 when it came out. I never heard of one, literally. No one I knew ever gave one, was invited to one, or attended one. My husband grew up 1000 miles away from me and said he never heard of one either. Just because you dont remember any serious injuries from your childhood doesnt mean they didnt happen. A hearing loss is not a real visible injury. Thats what happened to me, either with measles or mumps according to an audiologist (mild hearing loss). And so on. Yes, Salk was correct that after the vaccine had basically eliminated polio from the US, the few polio cases remaining were caused by vaccine. Again, look at that chart. The first vaccine was not live virus vaccine; that one came out in 1961. Lets look at 1966, five years after it came out: 113 cases, 106 of which were, sadly, paralytic. Now which number is smaller, 57,879 or 113? You tell me! Please respond. You are calling a mild hearing loss a serious injury? You not only remember from your childhood you knew these ppl for years and years and still no serious injuries. 0 deaths from measles in the last 14 years and 108 deaths from the vaccine. By 1955 all healthy kids were having there tonsils out because it was a major medical fad. They are an important part of the immune system especially where polio is concerned. Youre wrong about measles deaths: Dr.Salk was wrong OR, more likely considering the anti-vax penchant for lying, misquoted. The last wild polio cases in the US didnt happen Youre wrong about Bill Gates, too. The CDC has rapidly taken many things off their site and changed things since people are paying a lot more attention. The tonsils are the first and only real defense against polio. Measles depletes the body of Vit A. Look at the chart much earlier it had dropped 90% before the vaccine. 70% who had the polio vaccine didnt even know, the rest had flu like symptoms for a week to 10 days, less than 1% had some paralyzing after effects. You are not looking at the right chart if you think that. HIghest incidence, 1952, almost 60,000 cases. A 90% drop would mean 6,000 cases. Where do you see that? Oh, yeah, in 1958, three years AFTER the vaccine came out. Then some huge drops in the 60s when the oral polio vaccine became available. The year before the vaccine, ~40,000 cases. Math is not your best subject, I see. Yes, I know all those stats, but the incidence was high enough that those small percentages translated into many cases. Like 1 in 50 is now millions of brain damaged kids. It is still the highest in the developed countries Irrelevant (for this discussion ). They have similar schedules as us, sometimes more vaccines, and ours is dropping. Get a proper healthcare system then. You better read some history and facts, it wasnt like that at all before vaccines, that would be as recent as the 50s and 60s. No one was losing 2 or 3 kids, what an insane statement. Because these events are reported voluntarily from a population of Correlation is not the same as causation, but after decades of children dying a few hours to a few days after being assaulted with the SIDS causing non-therapeutic TDaP/DTaP/DPT/DTP vaccines, there might be some truth that the SIDS causing non-therapeutic vaccines cause SIDS. but after decades of children dying a few hours to a few days after This doesnt really happen. VSD data shows virtually no deaths up to thirty days Also children are healthier the closer to their vaccination date. Mortality rates and cause-of-death patterns in a vaccinated population., McCarthy et al, Am J Prev Med., 2014 Wouldnt it be great to have a real study? Perhaps not the best way to study SIDS ( hint the I means infant ). I apologize I forgot that the cutoff for that study was too high for SIDS. dishonesty, darn dishonesty, and statistics. The entire study is overlapping data for many people including people over 85 years old and then on charts overlapping days since non-therapeutic vaccine with themselves The study does break out the deaths by age group in particular infants are analysed separately. The one month or less group shows expected mortality and the 0 12 month is pretty close to linear. Meaning that your expectation of deaths close to vaccination. Simply. Doesnt. Happen. I have no clue. Perhaps in more than one area. Okay, if you can decipher the dishonesty, darn dishonesty, and statistics, Yawn. Unless youre stating that your hypothesis expects no overall correlation between vaccination period and mortality then the study handily answers the important question and reduces the likelihood of your hypothesis. If you are saying that you expect no overall correlation between vaccination period and mortality then feel free to come out and say so. statistics are so cooked that you might not have a clue either? What I have a clue about and you seemingly do not. Is how hypotheses are tested. The study does not in any way measure any SIDS death being from or not from any non-therapeutic vaccine. The study does not in any way measure any SIDS death being from or not from any If vaccines caused SIDS (or any other form of mortality) you would see more children die closer to the point of vaccination. You dont not in 1 month and not in 0-24 years. Bayes theorem and the law of total probability demand that we reduce the likelihood of your hypothesis because this expectation is not met. Again, this is hypothesis testing 101. Ill just point out that by clinging to your SIDS hypothesis in the particular way you are. Is also telling every other vaccine critical person that vaccines are exceptionally unlikely to cause any other kind of mortality. Which is cool, it just adds to the funny mosaic which makes up your subgroup. All of you have ridiculously incompatible views but somehow only direct your ridiculousness outward. Jonathan Graham, if your wild speculation that children do not die soon after being assaulted with non-therapeutic vaccines were true, why arent there any studies that prove your wild speculation? Children do die soon after being vaccinated. Just not significantly more than they do a very long time after being vaccinated. The study I handed to you makes that clear. However if vaccines WERE killing people then you would expect there to be a significant difference. Since we dont Bayes Rule and the law of total probability demands we devalue your hypothesis. Studies that convert all data to meaningless person years Not all of the data is in person years and person years are not meaningless studies that include people 85 years old Were not included in any part of the analysis Im citing. Separate analyses were done for 1 mo and 0-24 years. Which makes me wonder if youve even read this study. should also be suspect Statements from people like yourself who are insanely biased and dont understand even the basic elements of statistics and hypothesis testing. Are equally if not more suspect. Jonathan Graham, we know without a doubt that children are dying soon after being assaulted with non-therapeutic vaccines. we know without a doubt that children are dying soon after being assaulted with non-therapeutic vaccines Yes, in the same sense that children are dying soon after watching Paw Patrol. However there isnt any evidence to suggest that they are dying significantly more than a long time after. Which again your hypothesis expect, hence we must consider your hypothesis not well supported. The correlation is so strong that the vaccine court measures in hours from the time of the assault until deaths to block many non-therapeutic vaccine injury claims. Lots of problems with your thinking here. a) The presumption that the law is in any way fit to decide an issue of science. It isnt. b) Even if it was youre making an elementary error in logic. Your claim of overlapping 1 mo and 0-24 years Actually what Im saying is your hypothesis EXPECTS (among other things) the 1 mo group to show an inverse relationship between date of vaccination and mortality rates. However in this study that is not seen. Now again, if you DO NOT EXPECT this relationship. Please say: I do not expect this and we can talk about that. If you DO expect it, then again this study provides sufficient evidence to consider your hypothesis to be devalued. Anytime you can answer that question, you lose this argument. Which explains why you are unable to answer this. Jonathan Graham, I only see that the study you keep harping on successfully either covered up data or had no data at all. I only see What you wish to see, no surprise there. the study you keep harping on successfully either covered up data or had no data at all. Nothing to cover up, its math plain and simple. Either your hypothesis expects mortality to decrease with distance from vaccination or it doesnt. Your criticism is rather plainly made up. Jonathan Graham, neither you nor either study has provided any facts. neither you nor either study has provided any facts. I sure have. How many 85 year old or older infants were in the supposed study? In the analysis we are discussing? This was mentioned in the study. How is it that you have no idea what this number is? How many died of SIDS? Again, this was mentioned (by proportion) in the study. How is it you dont know this? If you cant make sense out of the studies or dont want to, fine by me. I can make sense of the study just fine. What doesnt make sense is your critique it means nothing. None of the words you are using map to any kind of statistical critique. So you either have to use standard statistical terminology or explain what your made-up terms mean. Until then, I think you need someone with some expertise to help translate your made-up issues. Otherwise you might as well be saying that the studys bluzo isnt sufficiently flashist. Jonathan Graham, if you can make sense of your study, why keep the facts to yourself? We already know your opinion that the study shows something but can you enlighten others with the supposed facts shown versus the opinions shown? if you can make sense of your study, why keep the facts to yourself? I havent I listed the facts in my last post. Did you not read them? I listed three. Each one starts with the words: It is a fact. If theres a problem with one of them please cite the specific fact and what you think is wrong with it. Jonathan Graham, your last post must have been deleted. There, your first so called Its a fact start with your opinion with some speculation on what I do or do not expect from the chart. Sorry, you misread this happens to you a lot . What Im saying is the hypothesis you expressed Vaccines cause SIDS EXPECTS an observation which should be visible from the chart. This is a fact. Please adjust your remark to properly counter your misreading of my post. you say that the study does not give some specific information The chart either follows a pattern of inverse linear relationship or it does not. Its pretty easy to see if you read the study. If you havent Id say you can have no useful opinion here. Please adjust your critique to properly address that you are making it from a position of ignorance. Your third its a fact has nothing to do with any chart in any study but again goes back to your opinion of what I do or do think. Sorry this is your poor reading again. There is simply nothing you have said that you could find said precisely the same way by a professional statistician criticizing a study. So again, either rephrase using standard terminology or explain what your made-up terms mean. Jonathan Graham, your posts are getting sillier and sillier. Jonathan Graham, you still wont or cant define phrases like person years Such a definition is unnecessary to make my point that this study rather strongly devalues the hypothesis that vaccines cause SIDS. As Im not talking about person years and neither is the part of the study Im referencing. Which youd know if you read it. If you ever find a study with proof of your opinion proof is a poorly defined term. What I posted was a study which if you read it and you understand a little bit about statistics strongly devalues the hypothesis that vaccines cause SIDS. If you ever find words of criticism for this study that actually referent logical or statistical concepts. Id love to hear it. Until you do I guess you lost this one. Jonathan Graham, you have managed another silly post. Youre getting good at silly. If you cant find anything in either study that you pointed to post that is relevant to the discussion, I did. As stated before: i) Its a fact that the hypothesis that vaccines cause SIDS carries an expectation that you would observe a inverse relationship between mortality and days from a vaccine. Your rebuttal to this: Nothing. ii) Its is also a fact that looking at Figure 1 you can see this isnt the case for children 0-24, nor is it in the 1 month calculation and in any other figure calculated in the study. Your rebuttal to this: Nothing. iii) It is also a fact that Bayes Rule and the law of total probability require that any hypothesis much have its likelihood devalued when its expectation is not met. Your rebuttal to this: Nothing, its possible you are trying to think but that could just be the neighbors burning something on their bbq. i) is necessary for the hypothesis, ii) is clear by simple inspection of the study the fact that you refuse to read the study you think you are critiquing is pretty silly and iii) is obvious if you has something more than elementary math. Im happy to explain any of these further if you are having trouble reading or understanding. Jonathan Graham, the fact that you keep pushing studies with no relevant data means that any rebuttable is not needed or possible. studies with no relevant data The only way the data in the study is not relevant is if you assert that the hypothesis that vaccines cause SIDS carries no expectation whatsoever that you would observe a inverse relationship between mortality and days from a vaccine. Is that what you are asserting? If not, then clearly the study has data which shows which direction this relationship goes. It doesnt matter if you are to frightened to read the study or not. He does that. Nonsense becomes nonsense squared with the Ham Man. Hes not pretending. Im concerned he has recently overcome a serious head injury. I dont know if youre familiar with doctor Archie Kalokerinos but his observations proved that vaccines ARE the cause of SIDS. Yea but hes no Bill Gates .snicker You seem to not grasp what a person year is and why this gives more information than simple numbers of patients. Mike Stevens, so after recording who was assaulted with a non-therapeutic vaccines the study claims to have followed-up on the victims with deaths occurring on average anywhere from 0 to 551.61 person years. I was right, you havent the faintest idea what a person year is, or why it might be used. Mike Stevens, If you bothered reading information that wasnt biased towards the pharmaceutical companies ( your employers ) you would see that SIDS deaths due to vaccines were common in some parts of the world. Take the experiences of doctor Archie Kalokerinos who while working among the aborigines in Australia saw as many as half the aboriginal babies die after being vaccinated. That Johnny is what is called SIDS. You mean the guy who said: I am not against immunisations. My own life was saved by them and even as I type this manuscript there is a newsflash concerning some Aboriginal infants in Sydney who have died from diphtheria. Immunisations would have saved them If you actually read his book you would see that despite his conviction that vaccines produce a vitamin C deficiency (which you would have to be pretty dumb to believe). He didnt actually do any research at all, in fact he didnt even observe many children. It was all conjecture. Just like the U.S. non-therapeutic polio vaccines had absolutely no benefit but caused polio, caused three previously unknown or previously rare cancers and is one of the two possible non-therapeutic vaccines that started the U.S. version of AIDS in 1958, allopaths took many diseases to Australian Aboriginal infants. See, non-therapeutic vaccine goal of population reduction is obtainable. Vaccines are neither designed for population reduction nor is it even a plausible outcome. Reductions in teen pregnancy are better explained through education. Do you not believe Mr. non-therapeutic vaccine eugenicist Bill Gates? Do you not believe Mr. non-therapeutic vaccine eugenicist Bill Gates? Well Bill Gates said First, weve got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. Thats headed up to about nine billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by, perhaps, 10 or 15 percent, but there we see an increase of about 1.3. So a) There are a lot of things being mentioned there including reproductive heath services that is birth control. b) Hes talking about the decrease in the rate of growth and c) This is something that is correlated with increasing child survival. If you know of any reason to assault children by injecting polysorbate 80 into them other than fertility reduction, please let the world know. Its used as an excipient and the dose is something like 50mcg. The reasons that you wouldnt attempt to reduce population this way is that the dosing is completely wrong. Even if you assume that murine experiments are analogous to humans in this respect. You end up with a dose that is hundreds to thousands times lower than any research showing anything to do with reproductive problems. The WHO was caught sterilizing women in third world countries using the tetanus vaccine to inject them with HCG. This happened twice and ONLY women were given that shot. Ill gladly supply links if need be. My post containing the link went into moderation so go ahead and google ANALYSIS: Why does an old, false claim about tetanus vaccine safety refuse to die? It starts with An old rumour that a tetanus vaccine causing infertility in women is resurfacing, this time in West Africa. Vinayak Bhardwaj explains as many others have over the last 20 years why this claim is false and why its important to keep debunking it. The origin of the story is LifeSite news. Nuff said. Not a false claim ( although you wish it was ) The first time this happened was in 1992 and it was discovered by Human Life International ( a Catholic human rights organization ) and when they confronted the World Health Organization about the vaccine the WHO denied this was being done. So HLI had the tetanus vaccine analyzed by 5 different labs and they all came to the same conclusion. When the WHO was confronted with those results they remained silent. Citation needed (your whacko conspiracy looney fundie sites dont count). shaynus = zero credibility So after a month of searching for citations, you couldnt find any, so you go with shay has no credibility. Well done! Thanks bro! Yea when has Big Pharma EVER denied anything? Just because Mr. non-therapeutic vaccine eugenicist Bill Gates also mentioned two other ways to reduce population, you pretend that he didnt include the one he pushes the most. Mr. non-therapeutic vaccine eugenicist Bill Gates and I agree on one thing. That is that one of the major purposes of non-therapeutic vaccines is to reduce population. That comes after causing other harm to increase allopathic income. you pretend that he didnt include the one he pushes the most. Nope, but you see in order to see that would require you to read. Which you dont seem very keen to do. Reducing mortality, reduces birth rate. As for the dose of polysorbate 80, it is working. Its simply impossible for that to be true you are getting exposure to that from so many other sources in so much higher quantities that the microscopic amount in a vaccine couldnt have any effect. Not to mention that we already know the level thats required to act as a contraceptive and this is literally millions of times lower. So youve refuted your own argument if its strong enough to act at 11 million times lower than the published amount then vaccines cant contribute significantly. Not to mention that like any injected or oral contraceptive it would wear off. So how strong does this have to be to not only have effect but sufficient effect to last more than a few hours? Progesterone for example requires 200 mg doses taken daily for thirty days before you can even count on it to have any useful effect. Which means that polysorbate 80 something you get from makeup, ice cream, etc has to be 240,000 x more potent than progesterone. In order for the 50 mcg to provide even a month of coverage. So the chemistry simply says no. U.S. teen pregnancy have been reduced to be less than half of what was previously reported. Wow, something at some unspecified point in the the past is different than it is today? How convincing! Again most of the drop in teen pregnancy happened in the US between 1991 and 2011. So Gardasil introduced in 2008 had virtually no effect on that rate. Please learn to do a simple regression analysis before you post again. Why do I need to read Mr. non-therapeutic vaccine eugenicist Bill Gates video? Why do I need to read Well now you definitely need some comprehension skills. See you were talking about me in the sentence that I quoted. Hence one would normally expect that what you needed to read was my post which you didnt or at least not very carefully. Current non-therapeutic HPV vaccines polysorbate 80 dose is reducing fertility now. Sorry thats just something you made up. Chemistry says youre wrong. You can try to claim that ingested doses are the same as injected doses I dont have to. We know[1] that 90% gets excreted however since youre talking about thousands to millions of times the dose. You will easily reach the same levels as an injected dose. Ill go with your strange picked years of 1991 to 2011 Theyre not stranger or picked, if you look at the CDC graphs of teenage pregnancy. They are the inflection points. Even your picked numbers match what was stated. Actually its the opposite. HPV can not be responsible for any decline in teenage pregnancy IF the mechanism is polysorbate 80. There is too much and too little response. Remember you are claiming this is 40 000x stronger than progesterone. You havent be able to show a consistent factor between the dose, the timing, or the outcome. [1]Evaluation Report of Food Additives, Polysorbates, Food Safety Commission 2007 Gates support experimentation on the poor obviously. I wonder how often hes offered to use his children? Its like senators in favor of war not sending their children to be maimed and killed. polysorbate 80 is found in pickles and I recently saw it listed in vitamins sold at WalMart Tell us who has more medical training, Gates or Wakefield et al? Gates isnt a doctor or vaccine researcher is he? Buh Wah Ha Ha We should be so lucky. Even your parents may have made a better choice. He and a well respected biochemist and microbiologist ( Glenn Dettman ) did extensive research and their conclusion was correct: That these babies who died were borderline scorbutic and that the vaccines depleted what little vitamin C they had which led to their death. He proved this was the case because by supplementing with vitamin C before vaccinating NONE died. And if you kept researching you would have seen, after doing more research, he also said; The further I looked into it the more shocked I became. I found out the whole vaccine business was indeed a gigantic hoax. Most doctors are convinced that they are useful, but if you look at the proper statistics and study the instance of these diseases you will realize that this is not so. Johnny your refuting this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you ARE a paid representative of the pharmaceutical industry. I keep a record of your answers and use them very effectively I might add to show people the degree people like yourself will go to to support the maiming of our kids through vaccines. Anxiously waiting for your reply. He and a well respected biochemist and microbiologist did extensive research Not in that book they didnt. I mean, if you actually read it but why would you do that. The line you quote is from an interview which doesnt say he did extensive research he said he looked into it. So this isnt him actually doing science, its just him confirming his existing biases. Johnny your refuting this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you ARE a paid representative of the pharmaceutical industry. Because I took the time to read something and you just make crap up? I keep a record of your answers and use them very effectively Sorry Ron, I doubt you even are able to read my responses effectively. Anxiously waiting for your reply. Great! As I said making you look like an idiot is win/win. As always Hammy testifies and claims no one but he reads or researches anything. He sits on a mound of bullcrap daring us to knocked him off it. I thought he recommended Vit C before vaccination? That was the Vitamin C thing wasnt it? The evidence says that whatever increased risk is run in the days immediately after the shot is more than made up for by decreased risk for all the time afterward. SIDS is less likely to strike vaccinated babies. Andrew Lazarus, people have posted before that they have read opinions like that. Yep they play research games. A British study set out to show there were as many people with autism over 40 as there are under 40. They used 18 year olds as some of the over 40 group. Imagine them being so blatantly dishonest. Other studies include vaccinated children in unvaccinated categories. That makes little sense. children are healthier the closer to their vaccination date What is that? Wheres you science proving such a thingwhatever it is. Read the study. More accurately there is no correlation between mortality of children and vaccination date. Which you would expect if vaccines are killing them. Well if you OFFICIALLY deny it, you can do wonders with correlation. Whatever you need to tell yourself to so you can deal with the horrible person you are. Im dealing with younuff said Its not only killing them but ruining their health for the rest of their lives! Allergies, auto immune disorders like CIDP, and other nerve related diseases, mental / emotional problems. The number of kids taking Ritalin today is unconscionable. I know of more people being diagnosed with BI-Polar disorder, and receiving disability payments because of it, that its beyond ridiculous. Its not only killing them but ruining their health for the rest of their lives! The points Im dealing with here are that Judith claimed that people are DYING after the pentavalent short (presumably significantly more than any other shot). This is a) Obviously ridiculous and b) deceptive of Judith to use this quote. If you wish to move the goalposts to some other outcome which was not being discussed feel free but youre only weakening your argument. And obviously you are a Pharma plant. Comments like that only make you look more ignorant. Good one Pharma boy. Its just the truth. So you admit your a Pharma boy. Normal English parsing rules would indicate that when I said: Its just the truth, Im referencing the object of your sentence. Which was: Comments like that only make you look more ignorant. Being pretty hard on yourself, but OK if thats how you see it. Again, English parsing rules would indicate that the you in Comments like that only make you look more ignorant is referencing you AutismDadd. Could have fooled me and did. I guess being fooled comes easy to you. Actually its my first time Nope. Let me guess you have data and variants variants? Arent you the variant lover? Perhaps you need to figure out what word you are saying before you say it? The term variant has numerous meanings, chose the one that applies best. So you dont know what you are saying. If you did you could apply the one that YOU meant. Im being courteous you might want to follow my lead. Not at this point you werent. See always disagreeable. You need a Guru and a coffee enema Im just pointing out that you were still being belligerent. Hardly. But its better than accusing me of harassment When you harass people you will be pointed out as a harasser. When you learn to stop Ill stop. Question is why did you start that whining in the first place. Its simple. I mentioned you were harassing people when you were harassing people. No its not that. Youre just a whiner. Be in denial all you want. You do harass people. Sorry. What are you talking about? What is a non therapeutic vaccine? No one destroyed any data. Are oyu talking about the Hooker/Wakefield tapes? That data was stored on servers and harddrives. It was never destroyed. You cannot destroy data by putting one set of papers in a trashcan. That is ridiculous. If that happened at all, and I doubt they put anything in a trashcan, they would have shred every paper copy and purged the servers of all digital copies. Kathy, non-therapeutic vaccines are the opposite of therapeutic vaccines. I dont appreciate the semantics game you are playing. You are trying to make preventative vaccines seem like a bad idea. Vaccines are the reason millions of people dont get VPDs every single year in every single country where they are used. Non-therapeutic vaccines cause much more issue than they could prevent assuming that they ever prevented anything. Look up the difference between attenuated live virus vaccines and wild- type viruses sometime. Mike Stevens, nothing to look up. Mike deflection Stevens at work There are just too many total whacks on here right now. I cant handle them! I am just going to ignore both users whos names begin with A, from now on. Well we wont ignore you Pharma plant. Be sure to count yourself as one. Of course you dont because it shows what a fool you are. Poor Kathy her precious vaccines arent perfect so she is having a meltdown. As we see Kathy has a conniption if you diss vaccines. Lol, she changed her avatar. Is it now Satan like? She blocked me so she doesnt see my masterful replies. Her avatar should be the No Bullshit sign with the circle and line with the bull humped over. Such a fraud, and a flower, reminds me of TV advertising No data was destroyed. If you are referring to the whistleblower manufactoversy, no data was destroyed. There was no fraud. The paper copies of data was, perhaps, put into a waste basket for shredding, but every scientist in the study had copies on his or her harddrive, it was on the MADDS server (the original source for the data) and backed up on the CDC server. It was never destroyed at all. As Thompsons official statement declares, this was a difference of opinion about how the data was analyzed. It has since been analyzed by other scientists, including a PhD autism researcher with an autistic child, and the original analysis stands strong. There is no isolated autism. There is no greater risk for African American boys between the age of 24-36 months. It has all been debunked. Quite thoroughly. This blog post has been tracking all the claims and the facts since the story broke 22 months ago. www dot harpocratesspeaks dot com/2014/09/mmr-cdc-and-brian-hooker-media-guide.html Kathy, again, you are referring to bias opinions from websites trying to cover-up what was already announced. STATEMENT OF WILLIAM W. THOMPSON, Ph.D., REGARDING THE 2004 ARTICLE EXAMINING THE POSSIBILITY OF A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MMR VACCINE AND AUTISM My name is William Thompson. I am a Senior Scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where I have worked since 1998. I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed. Its been thoroughly debunked. I can use my bias opinions to debunk the bias opinions of the previous debunkers. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/33e1b37eb7b5e8eb7232b71222fe95848215e84c12f4a4622d4e22251b14aba9.jpg Kathy the Queen of Denial I like the cute 1920s signs but by the 1950s, measles was harming few. Not true about measles in the 50s. Incidence was higher in the 50s than ever before. Death rate was lower, due to antibiotics and other meds, but deafness and encephalitis and pneumonia were still affecting tens of thousands of Americans a year. Same in all western countries. Here is USA data. Measles incidence was 289/ 100,000 in 1912 and 310 cases/100,000 in 1953-62. jid dot oxfordjournals dot org/content/189/Supplement_1/S17.long Kathy, I did not say or imply whether we had fewer or more measles cases in the 1950s. I would highly recommend you look into taking the Coursera courses on vaccines. You will learn a lot. Have a nice day. Kathy, isnt Dr. Paul Offit to one that is making the money from the non-therapeutic rotavirus vaccine that has killed so many infants with intussusception? No, Dr Offit, along with colleagues, Drs Stanley and Clark, spent 25 years researching and developing a vaccine for rotavirus. Three vaccines have been developed, over the years, and the one they developed is one of two excellent vaccines currently in use. They never wanted to patent it but that is part of how things work these days. They shared a few million dollars, as co-inventors, and sold the patent to CHOP. A few million each is hardly a big deal compared to 25 years working hard, never knowing a vaccine would work or not. Their vaccines saves millions of lives a year and prevents hundreds of millions of rota infections every year, internationally. The rotavirus vaccine with the intussusception risk that was deemed to high was removed from the market years ago. Kathy, I still dont care to attend any course/sales pitch from people that openly killed children. They might get a few more while Im listening to the sales pitch. Smallpox vaccine was discontinued because we had conquered small pox. Ever hear of cases anymore. Nope! Thanks to the vaccine. Polio rate was very high in 1950s, when we had treated waste water and clean water in almost all homes. There is no such thing as chemical polio. Try looking at the countries that today use DDT to fight mosquitoes and, yet, have no polio. Diphtheria and rubella were conquered by vaccines. Rubella has been eradicated from all of the Americas, tip to tip. As of 2015. Its quite an accomplishment. The problem wish self quarantine is that most of these diseases are contagious before you realize what you have. So, you spread them around BEFORE you can quarantine. Thats why vaccines are so marvelous. Kathy, you have it backwards. 1. People are being forced to have their children and themselves assaulted with non-therapeutic vaccines. Here is the history of smallpox vaccine http://pediatrics dot aappublications dot org/content/110/4/841 Kathy, does the bias opinions at that site follow the bias opinions of the people that published it trying to fulfill their fiduciary duty? Pediatrics is a highly esteemed medical journal. You consider valid science unscrupulous? Therein lies the problem and the reason we mandate vaccines. Because of people like you. We have to save people from their own poor choices. Kathy, based on your history of posting unscrupulous web sites links, Ill still pass. It is a shame you dont want to learn. Kathy, I learned that you switch from: semantics (n.) science of meaning in language, 1893, from French smantique (1883); see semantic (also see -ics). Replaced semasiology (1847), from German Semasiologie (1829), from Greek semasia signification, meaning. force (v.) c. 1300, forcen, also forsen, exert force upon (an adversary), from Old French forcer conquer by violence, from force strength, power, compulsion (see force mandate (v.) 1620s, to command, from mandate from etymology online. you are welcome You dont have to save anyone but if you insist then go save the 250,000 per year that die from medical intervention and prescribed drugs. You are quoting Mercola. He made that up. If you look at US stats on mortality, there is no listing for died from drugs prescribed to them. I suggest that you check the FDA Adverse Reaction web pages: Year..DeathsSerious Now add people that FDA approved dope used in an FDA prescribed manner killing people at home. Smallpox was never eradicated by vaccines, impossible because only 10% of the world was ever vaccinated That extra 90% is herd immunity bonus! Small pox was not endemic in all countries. In endemic countries, the WHO goal was to vaccinate as close to 80% of the population as possible. That was achieved in most of those countries and that is why we eradicated it. Lol you need some more reading. Was scarlet fever, cholera and thyroid also irradicated by vaccines? Lindaxox, please add malaria to your list. Another cute poster. You are full of them. Any proof they make big bucks? U.S. allopathic medicine is soaking up more than one-sixth of the U.S. economy. SV40 has been found in cancer tumors but there is no evidence it causes cancer. None. Thoroughly studied. All the evidence is linked in this blog post. www dot skepticalraptor dot com/skepticalraptorblog.php/polio-vaccines-cancer-debunking-myth/ Thanks. I knew that. I really wanted to see somitcw stumble for a while on that, so the lurkers could see what nonsense that is. Sonja Henie, it wasnt me that stumbled. Kathy, you found an opinion piece trying to explain away SV40 cancers caused by non-therapeutic vaccines. Vaccine mandates do not violate Nuremburg because you can decline to vaccinate and you are fully informed before you vaccinate. Kathy, that is multiple dishonesties from the pit of Hades. Hey, if you think this is a real Nuremburg violation, please contact Amnesty International and the UN and get back to us with what they say. What kind of physician is antivax? Thats strange. Are you an MD or a chiro? Chiropractor (in WV, I think), with such interesting ideas I would like to subscribe to her newsletter*. *h/t: Homer Simpson The first issue is that I dont conduct studies so you are asking the wrong person. PS Your source still doesnt provide proof that SV40 caused cancer in a human. It said (and that is just the opinion of this one article you cherrypicked) that there is a possible etiologic role in human malignancies. Future research directions are considered. Mike Stevens, We have the right to refuse ANY medical treatment or experiment WITHOUT INFORMED CONSENT. From wikipedia (emphasis mine): The Nuremberg code includes such principles as informed consent and absence of coercion; properly formulated scientific experimentation; and beneficence towards experiment participants. People who show up at their doctors office for vaccination are not part of a clinical trial. Jonathan Graham, you are incorrect on many accounts. Untilall the known risks are known Since all known risks are known by definition. Ill assume you mean something like all the potentially known risks are known. In which case this restricts all medicine. Since the authors clearly considered some medicine to be acceptable your standard is clearly not what was intended by the authors of the code and therefore the code can not be part of an argument against vaccination. So either better define your terms or provide words from the mouths of the authors specifically restricting work like our current use and development of vaccination. Jonathan Graham, you still wont or cant define phrases like person years in vaccine charts that you try to prove something that is not there, but suggest that I define my terms our current use and development of vaccination which I didnt even use. but suggest that I define my terms our current use and development of vaccination which I didnt even use. Nope. Again this is a reading comprehension problem for you. I didnt say YOU need to define these terms Im saying that the claim vaccination violates the Nuremberg code doesnt mean anything unless you can meet that criteria. You cant. You might as well be whining about someone breaking the ground speed limit in an airplane. Jonathan Graham, getting sillier all of the time. I never stated that vaccination violates the Nuremberg code Yawn. Never said you did. I said that the CLAIM is meaningless until you can meet the criteria I set out. In future please read my posts at least three or four times before posting. Constantly correcting you is tiresome. Jonathan Graham, you certainly were not responding to someone else. I wasnt aware of much at all. Entirely unsurprising. people enforcing the Nuremberg Code What was said was: the CLAIM is meaningless until you can meet the criteria I set out Again, please read my post at least four or five times before typing. Imagine anyone believing that paying out over 3 billion though a Vaccine Injury Compensation Program constitutes evidence that vaccines are unsafe. Sounds like something Brian Deer would claim. Better awareness. Then why has all-cause infant mortality dropped with more vaccines, Adad? Surprise me. Thats not proof, its a simple statement of what has been done and what is done. Just curious, how many children have been diagnosed with Autism who have not been vaccinated? I just realized that the same pro-vaxxers continue to appear in all comments relating to this issue. The same names keep popping up on every discussion board and are desperately trying to defend Pharma and bring down anything or anyone who questions vaccines. How interesting and typical. All you really needed to see was shout out goes to Mike Adams, the Health Ranger to know this was total bullshlt. Another adverse effect that occurs with a number of vaccines is anorexia, but as with the other explanations we seem to get from Psychiatry is that young girls and boys simply want to look like models. Well Ill have to ask for the science on that while Psychiatry ignores anorexia as a vaccine side effect. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fbfff6bdef04547faae43f0f44ae539c8dbb6651b241fcf1aaa3775e138f0893.jpg The history of vaccineshilarious. google Google U Hammy? 
1	Expressing their hope that the new initiative would encourage more people to give, American Red Cross officials announced Friday that they had begun installing blood drop-off bins for donors convenience. We realize that many peoples schedules prevent them from being able to visit their local Red Cross during normal business hours, so were introducing our new PlasmaGo donation bins, in which anyone can leave a few pints of blood any time theyre out and about, said American Red Cross president Gail McGovern, adding that the 142-cubic-foot containers, which will soon be placed outside every Red Cross location in the country as well as in parking lots and street corners in major cities, will be available 24 hours a day for those who want to squeeze in a donation on the way to work or drop off some blood while running errands on the weekend. All you have to do is place your blood in a sealed container marked with your blood type before dropping it in the receptacle. Or, if youre in a rush, just bleed directly into the PlasmaGo bin and well sort it out later on our end. Whatevers most convenient for you. Should the new bins prove successful, McGovern said the organization would consider installing an additional slot for bone marrow. 
2	Gwen And Blake Wont Leave Miranda Alone, What They Keep Doing To Her Is Torture Gwen and Blake have both released singles this week. Both singles were openly about their divorce, their exes, and how they have found each other. In both songs they paint their exes in a bad light. Blakes song makes it seem as though Miranda is the villain in the entire situation. Blake has also been publicly displaying his feelings toward Gwen. It is hard enough to get over an ex, but when their face is everywhere makes it harder. I believe that Blake is in the wrong for pointing the finger at Miranda. If I were Miranda I would fight back with a song of my own. Miranda did not fight back. Instead she proved just how strong willed a Texas girl can be. After days of rumors flying around about Blakes song, Miranda continued on with her life. She had a sold out crowd at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Instead of dwelling on what others are saying about her, Miranda put on an amazing show. She did not try to impress anyone instead she enjoyed herself. The crowd loved every minute of her show. Miranda did not go on stage dressed in all sequins. She was dressed in a simple blue dress, and she wore a single feather necklace. Usually birds of a feather flock together, but Miranda is now on her own. She is a single feather and she wanted that to be known. It is elegant in its simplicity. Miranda stopped during her show and gave a special shout out to some special guests. Those special guests were her parents. Since Houston is her hometown Miranda made sure that her parents could attend. Do you love Miranda? 
3	Gut Biota Never Recover from Antibiotics: Damages Future GenerationsHeidi Stevenson The misuse of antibiotics is not only causing new, never-before known diseases like E. coli and MRSA, the flesh-eating bacteria, its also destroying the gut biome with devastating effects on our ability to deal with infections and destroying our ability to absorb nutrients from food. Emerging research shows that the harmful effects of antibiotics go much further than the development of drug resistant diseases. The beneficial bacteria lost to antibiotics, along with disease-inducing bacteria, do not fully recover. Worse, flora lost by a mother is also lost to her babies. The missingbeneficial gut bacteria are likely a major factor behind much of the chronic disease experienced today. The continuous use of antibiotics is resulting in each generation experiencing worse health than their parents. Martin Blaser, the author of a report in the prestigious journal Nature writes: Antibiotics kill the bacteria we do want, as well as those we dont. These long-term changes to the beneficial bacteria within peoples bodies may even increase our susceptibility to infections and disease.Overuse of antibiotics could be fuelling the dramatic increase in conditions such as obesity, type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, allergies and asthma, which have more than doubled in many populations. Without even considering the development of superbugs, were now seeing clear documentation that the overall long term effects of antibiotics are devastatingly harmful to our health. Speaking to ABC News, Blaser said: Antibiotics are miraculous. Theyve changed health and medicine over the last 70 years. But when doctors prescribe antibiotics, it is based on the belief that there are no long-term effects. Weve seen evidence that suggests antibiotics may permanently change the beneficial bacteria that were carrying. [Emphasis my own.] By the time a child reaches age 18 in the industrialized world, the chances are he or she has been given 10-20 courses of antibiotics. That misuse continues into adulthood, and theyre casually prescribed to pregnant women. Thats where the situation grows ever worse. Part of normal childbirth is a babys passage through the birth canalwhere its exposed to its first dose of beneficial bacteria. (This should give pause to anyone considering a caesarian birth that isnt absolutely necessary.) When a mothers microbiota is deficient, her child is born to that deficiency. The evidence now appears to show that, once a probiotic deficiency exists, it is never recoveredand its passed down the generations. Therefore, each generation is likely to suffer from poorer health than the parents enjoyed. Costs of Antibiotic-Induced Chronic Conditions Healthcare costs rise and rise in treating this chronic ill health. Consider the pandemic status of diabetes and asthma in children today. Those diseases were extremely rare 50 years ago, and now theyre literally routine. Yet, the focus continues to be on treatmentwhich increasingly lines the pockets of Big Pharma and doctors. The search for cause has practically been ignored, even in the face of rising rates of chronic illness. Instead, treatment is the touchstone. Ever more toxic methods of suppressing symptoms, while hiding adverse effects, are researched and pushed on conventional medicines victims. Two of the most critical functions in health are drastically compromised in enormous numbers of todays children. The ability to metabolize food and the ability to breathe are being stolen from this generation. Yet the treatment theyre receiving for this poor health does nothing to make them well. It only masks the symptoms and makes their children even sicker! On top of those losses, children suffer from allergies, their bodies inability to distinguish between disease-inducing agents and harmless substances. They suffer from autoimmune disorders, their bodies inability to distinguish between foreign substances and parts of their own bodies. Has there ever been a generation of children whose inherent health has been so devastated by the very medical system that is supposedly responsible for their health? Iatrogenic Disease Iatrogenic disorders are health problems caused by medical errors. They are now officially the third-leading cause of death in the United States. But those numbers do not include early deaths from diabetes, asthma, allergies, chronic bowel disorders, or cancerall of which have been documented as results of antibiotic usenor are the miseries suffered by the people burdened with them reckoned in the iatrogenic toll.

1	After providing his 2010 draft picks with only two canteens of water, a flashlight, and a cheap compass, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick dumped his 12 newest players in the middle of a desert wasteland Tuesday and told them to find their way back to Foxboro on their own. Belichick, who has always initiated new Patriots with this same survival ordeal, refused to give the dazed and disoriented football players even the slightest hint as to their exact location. However, the infamously Machiavellian coach told his draft picks that there was no potable surface water for 'hundreds of miles'; that it would be in their best interests not to attempt to contact any locals who crossed their path; that only the fruit at the very center of the thornbushes would be edible; that most of the indigenous wildlife, especially the arachnids, was very, very poisonous; and that one of the things he had just told them was a lie. 'Show me what you got, boys,' Belichick said to the group from the backseat of a spotless black Range Rover. 'If you want to be on this team, I'll see you in four days. And if you've been paying attention at all, you'll know exactly what to do. Oh, you can take your blindfolds off now. ' 'By the way, Devin [McCourty]? I'd check that flashlight you're holding to see if it has any batteries. I might have forgotten to put them in,' Belichick continued. 'Not that a little thing like that should stop you. See Wes [Welker], here, the man with the honor of being my chauffeur? This resourceful bastard actually beat me home, so it's not like it can't be done. 'Now don't let that desert sun get to you, boys. It can play some pretty crazy tricks on the mind,' he added. 'Okay, Wes, let's get out of here.' After Belichick gave the confused group a small handgun loaded with a single bullet 'just in cases someone wants the easy way out,' the luxury SUV drove off, sending sand and dust flying into the players' eyes. Devin McCourty, Rob Gronkowski, Brandon Spikes, Taylor Price, Aaron Hernandez, Zoltan Mesko, Ted Larsen, Thomas Welch, Brandon Deaderick, Kade Weston, and Zac Robinson have been traversing the barren wasteland now for three days, walking over 60-foot sand dunes and braving the arid conditions while 35-mph winds whip sand into their unprotected eyes. Second-round pick Jermaine Cunningham, a promising outside linebacker, died Thursday of sunstroke. 'I think [Belichick] drugged us,' McCourty, the former Rutgers cornerback, said. 'We were all at his home for that welcoming dinner, and the next thing I knew I was blindfolded, going in and out of consciousness. I know at one point we were in a plane, because I heard a captain's announcement. When I tried to take my blindfold off I'm pretty sure Tedy Bruschi hit me across the face with a Super Bowl trophy. That's how I lost these teeth, I think.' 'I don't think we're in America,' said 62nd overall pick Brandon Spikes, tilting a canteen upside down in a failed attempt to get one last drop of water. 'I've never seen lizards that size in America. [Kade] Weston never had a chance.' Although the group of draft picks thought they were making progress Thursday, they were demoralized when they came upon footprints they determined to be their ownan indicator that they had been walking in a circle for the last day and a half. The players were further dispirited when they discovered a Patriots-hat-wearing skeleton buried just beneath the sand that turned out to be the remains of 2009 New England draft pick Rich Ohrnberger. 'Ohrnberger was a big guy, man,' former Ohio wide receiver Taylor Price said. 'He carried a lot of water in that big body, and he didn't make it. What chance does a skill-position player like me have? We're lost. Jesus Christ, Welch, you got us lost.' 'We're all gonna die,' he added. The players again thought they were on the right track when they found a backpack containing kindling material, 12 cans of refried beans, and a note from Belichick saying, 'Enjoy!' However, after nearly eating the beans, former Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson dumped them all out on the ground and kicked sand over them. 'You idiots, they're probably poisonous,' Robinson said. 'Or maybe they aren't poisonous, and he just wants us to think they're poisonous. Either way, this man is insane. He's trying to fuck with us. This is a game to him. Everything's a game to him. Can't you see? This is all one big fucking game!' As of press time, eight of the 12 draft picks remained alive. Although they have largely stuck together, the group has steadily fractured. With dehydration and hysteria setting in, Thomas Welch severely beat and nearly killed Zoltan Mesko with the butt end of the flashlight for eating the last sand cake, and Rob Gronkowski was muttering that he would murder anyone who even thought about stealing his 'precious, precious diamonds.' 'Look at them,' said Belichick, cool and comfortable in an impeccable white safari suit, watching from a dune several hundred yards away with team owner Robert Kraft and quarterback Tom Brady. 'For God's sake, none of those beans were poisonous. I don't think any of them are worth a damn. Let's just leave.' 
1	Dodgers players told reporters Friday they have been playing harder than usual the last few weeks in hopes of reuniting their parentsFrank and Jamie McCourt. 'Maybe if we keep hitting homeruns, it'll make them realize how much they miss us and love us and then they'll come back,' said outfielder Andre Ethier, who credited his 23-game hit streak and .379 batting average to 'missing Mom and Dad real bad.' 'We're all going to try extra hard tonight because we forged apology letters to and from our parents and told them to meet at the game. Casey [Blake] reserved their tickets. Gosh, I hope this works.' Several players confessed they want the McCourts to take notice of their winning ways sooner rather than later, as none of them liked the creepy adoptive father who keeps telling them to just call him 'Bud.' 
2	Sarah Palins Epic Endorsement Of Donald Trump Solidifies Republican Nomination On Tuesday, Sarah Palin gave her full endorsement of Donald Trump. This was unexpected, but just what Trump needed to secure himself the Republican nomination. Looking around at all of you, you hard working Iowa families, you farm families and teachers and teamsters and cops and cooks, you rock and rollers and holy rollers! Palin said. You all make the world go around and now our cause is one. The 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate said she was proud to endorse Trump. The backing could prove pivotal for Trump in Iowa, where hes deadlocked with Ted Cruz in a battle to win the February 1 caucuses traditionally dominated by conservative voters. Palin, a tea party favorite since 2008, has spoken warmly of Cruz in the past and her backing of Trump could blunt the Texas senators momentum in the final weeks before voting. Im a big fan of Sarah Palin, Trump responded when asked about it by reporters. Regardless of what Sarah decides to do in 2016, I will always remain a big, big fan, he said. (Source: CNN) We couldnt be happier that Palin has shown her support. Would you like to see Trump and Palin in the White House together? 
1	Crowds braved 95-degree heat and throngs of protestors to attend the opening of the Greater Nevada XXX Dinosaur Park Monday, a new adults-only attraction that bills itself as 'The Place Where The Extinct Sink The Pink.' 'You've seen their bonesnow see them boning! Triceratops and Bottoms!' according to a television ad for the park currently running after 10 p.m. throughout Nevada and Southern California. Proprietors, who have dubbed the park 'Salacious In The Cretaceous,' say that visitors 'will never think of dinosaurs as cold-blooded again.' Paleontologists are calling the park sensationalist and exploitative, but add that anything that gets people interested in science can't be all bad.

3	Riot Police Begin Mass Arrests at Dakota Access Pipeline, FB Censors VideoBy Nick Bernabe According to independent news outlet Unicorn Riot, at least 20 protesters, or water protectors, have been arrested at gunpoint along with medics and two journalists. Police issued a one-time warning to water protectors that any trespassers would be arrested. The warning came after several people locked themselves to construction equipment in acts of civil disobedience on Tuesday. Unicorn Riot, which has been broadcasting live video of the tense standoff in North Dakota, says Facebook has been censoring their link from livestream.com. Commenters on their Facebook page were also complaining they could not share the video. Screenshots posted by page followers show Facebook blocked the link. [UPDATE:A Unicorn Riot collective member confirmed to Anti-Mediavia email that Facebook was blocking the video linkwith itsautomatedcensorship system. We also verified that the Facebook Debugger warned that our live video URL violated community standards. Both Facebook and law enforcement acted to block our media distribution today, but we will not let them stop our mission to amplify the voices of people who might otherwise go unheard, and broadcast the stories that might otherwise go untold. Also, as one member of the collective, I should point out it is obviously concerning when a large media conglomerate blocks URLs to competing video platforms.] A surveillance planewasalso seen patrolling the protest site, reports Unicorn Riot. Anti-Media has reached out to Morton County Sheriffs Department for commentand will update this story ifthey respond.

This aint your granpas cuntry. is Daddy Warbucks the Obomber who just sold 1.5 billion in weapons to Yemen? Yes. I was thinking more along the lines of his ownersthe Kissinger crowd. You mean the JESUITS I mean the occult leaders of this one world order that serve Satan with a great zeal for the temporary pleasures that they receive from him, wealth and power. I dont call them Jesuits, Illuminati, reptiles, aliens, etcI call them what they are, in truth. Those using FB and Google should be prepared for censorship as these Zio enterprises serve the New World Order, not mankind. More censorship coming in October. Yep! Its time to have the first Native American/First Nation Presidents of the uS/Canada! Time to to reclaim back their Indigenous North America nation from the ever savage ZioNazi invasion! FACEBOOK is a PLACE OF PUBLIC GATHERING. Facebook exists cooperates with govt to spy on you. They are just protecting their masters.. As with dual citizen Jonathan Pollard, they work along with a foreign power to the U.S. peoples detriment, period. yes The founder of Facebook, Mr. Nutsucker, is owned by the establishment. Lets just say, They gave him deal he couldnt refuse. Everybody who loves freedom, should quit Facebook immediately!!!!! In case youre not aware, Zuckerberg is a relative to the Zio Rockefeller family. This video needs editing. Very repetitive. Also dont understand why it was blocked from Facebook. While this was overkill by LE big waste of taxpayers money there was no actual violence. Are TBTB that afraid of injustice being depicted? Perhaps they didnt want us to see the violation of the federal order to halt construction temporarily overriding the judges order ? Government always protects its own, destroying evidence that may help the people they are squashing. Big corporations were behind the federal policies for genocidal treatment of the Native Americans in the 19th Century, and they give them no respect now, even on what are laughingly called Sovereign Lands of the tribal reservations. The big boys just jump in and take what they want, the Natives be damned. It is criminal that Big Oil has destroyed graves and works to put the regional water supply at serious risk. Remember when the EPA got away with poisoning the Animas River which supplied the Navajo? Or how the government sent truckloads of contaminated water to the Navajo as relief supplies? Or when the feds sold off sacred Apache land to a foreign mining company over the tribes objections? The Navajo Rez has had to put up with John Songbird McCain for decades and he is called The Father of ISIS as well. McCain is the Senator that allowed BP and Exxon to take tribal land? Why? Of course! They discovered a precious natural resource called coal and now URANIUM. McCain, the BIA or BLM never made these mega-corporation clean up these toxins when they FINALLY closed and sealed up the mine. Running water on the Navajo Rez runs YELLOW and stinks of sulfur! It has been this way for over twenty years! Flint and everyone protests? Now McCain want to RE-OPEN these horrendous mines for more URANIUM. They need everyones help. Two faced paleface speak with forked tongue! Yo redskins remember they are the government and here to help(sarc). Excellent! Let the pagan terrorist deportations begin! *Gives sarcasm meter a mild shake. Taps the readout screen* For the love of all that is holy please tell me youre not serious. You know, if I thought it would do any good Id suggest all of you switch your social media accounts away from this dual citizen shit-machine. unfortunately it wont, because it might create an inconvenience for you. Whats needed is more peaceful protesting, and dogonit, write your congressman, cause they care so much! Its not laughter you hear in the halls of government, and justice, its maniacal laughter! Muahahaha! Muahahaha! Hahaha! Remember the occupation of the wildlife refuge in Oregon protesting Bureau of Land Management and government overreach? Patriot LaVoy Finicum made a short video exposing the shameful way the Government treated Indian artifacts as they were left to disintegrate in a mouse infested basement of the refuge. What happened then was the Indian tribe of whom the artifacts belonged, condemned LaVoy and not the managers of the refuge who allowed the artifacts to be used as a door jam as well. Sadly, LaVoy was murdered in an ambush set up by government thugs. i would kill all them pigs This is not China censuring the Internet/Facebook. This is the fascist-corporate state. Viva la democracia! Law enforcement, Military= Corporate Proxys Israel monitors and controls virtually everything. It is the Rothschilds private country that serves as basecamp for world control, destruction and enslavement. If you check out the layers of Corporate ownership, you will probably discover that the Rothschilds Baking Interests own a controlling interest of probably 3-5 % of the Stock of the Mining Company. You might not be able to actually identify the Rothschilds as such, as they operate thru layers of proxies and do not always list as a Rothschilds asset. Top of the food chain. The RAMBO wannabe with what appears to be a weapon with live rounds is just a kid from what I can see. How hard would it be for this little fellow to get spooked and shoot someone ? Is that what hes there for ? Where is Barry in all of this? He plays Capt. Planet any other time a pipeline is involved. 
1	Though originally favored to win the 2010 Iditarod by a large margin, musher Stefan Anderson's team has put in a mediocre performance up to this point, a result Anderson blames on flashy high-priced acquisitions on the sled-dog free-agent market. 'We look great on paper, but these dogs aren't used to racing together,' Anderson said. 'The truth is, we got 10 lead dogs out there but no wheel dogs. Jammer's got talent, but his power style is never going to mesh with Milo's speed game. They have no chemistry. None whatsoever.' Anderson would not deny a rumor that the team might sign 10-year Iditarod veteran Bronson for some much-needed leadership. 
2	BREAKING: Fox News Makes Devastating Announcement About One Of Your Favorite Anchors According to recent reports, Fox News Channel host Neil Cavutos ongoing leave of absence included a recent open-heart surgery. A network source confirmed the Your World anchor, who has been off the air since the end of last month, underwent a successful procedure on Monday. Knowing Neil, hell be back as soon as he can, but he is slated to return to hosting his three programs on Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network later this year, the sourced added. Cavutos recent hospitalization was not the first health scare he has had over the years. He has lived with multiple sclerosis for nearly two decades, and prior to that diagnosis, he battled and defeated cancer. Theres no endgame here, Cavuto said of his MS diagnosis in a 2007 interview. No cure here, no concoction of chemotherapy or radiation that could make it all go away. What do you think? Are your thoughts and prayers with Cavuto and his family?

2	Muslims In Norway Call For Separate State Where Shariah Law Is Enforced, Then THIS Happens According to recent report, a radical Muslim group in Norway has just threatened to attack the country unless it releases part of its territory for a Sharia-controlled sector. We do not want to be a part of Norwegian society, the group wrote in a letter. And we do not consider it necessary either to move away from Norway, because we were born and grew up here. And Allahs earth belongs to everybody. But let Gronland (an immigrant neighborhood in Oslo) become ours. Bar this city quarter and let us control it the way we wish to do it. This is the best for both parts. We do not wish to live together with dirty beasts like you, the letter concludes. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be taught a lessonand fast? 
1	Warning that the nations supply of restored antique locomotives and passenger cars will not be able to meet the demands of an aging population, experts confirmed this week that the growing number of retirees will completely overwhelm the scenic railway industry by 2030. There are only so many 4-mile round-trip rail excursions that wind through picturesque mountain vistas, river valleys, or autumn foliage, and we need to prepare ourselves for what happens when we are no longer able to provide our seniors with the authentic, old-fashioned railroading experiences they require, said analyst Dale Havermeyer, who estimates that by decades end, approximately one-third of the nations aging baby boomers will no longer be able to secure a ride in a vintage steam train across a series of wooden trestle bridges while enjoying a complimentary soft drink or cheese and crackers. At this point, even if we could convince 50 percent of those turning 65 to adopt a more sustainable RV-based sightseeing alternative, wed still be in trouble. Havermeyer added that experts are also concerned about the number of knee-replacement surgeries that will be necessary in the coming years to prop up the ailing ballroom dance industry. 
1	Executives at Google, the rapidly growing online-search company that promises to 'organize the world's information,' announced Monday the latest step in their expansion effort: a far-reaching plan to destroy all the information it is unable to index. CEO Eric Schmidt speaks at Google's California headquarters (below). 'Our users want the world to be as simple, clean, and accessible as the Google home page itself,' said Google CEO Eric Schmidt at a press conference held in their corporate offices. 'Soon, it will be.' The new project, dubbed Google Purge, will join such popular services as Google Images, Google News, and Google Maps, which catalogs the entire surface of the Earth using high-resolution satellites. As a part of Purge's first phase, executives will destroy all copyrighted materials that cannot be searched by Google. 'A year ago, Google offered to scan every book on the planet for its Google Print project. Now, they are promising to burn the rest,' John Battelle wrote in his widely read 'Searchblog.' 'Thanks to Google Purge, you'll never have to worry that your search has missed some obscure book, because that book will no longer exist. And the same goes for movies, art, and music.' 'Book burning is just the beginning,' said Google co-founder Larry Page. 'This fall, we'll unveil Google Sound, which will record and index all the noise on Earth. Is your baby sleeping soundly? Does your high-school sweetheart still talk about you? Google will have the answers.' Page added: 'And thanks to Google Purge, anything our global microphone network can't pick up will be silenced by noise-cancellation machines in low-Earth orbit.' As a part of Phase One operations, Google executives will permanently erase the hard drive of any computer that is not already indexed by the Google Desktop Search. 'We believe that Google Desktop Search is the best way to unlock the information hidden on your hard drive,' Schmidt said. 'If you haven't given it a try, now's the time. In one week, the deleting begins.' Although Google executives are keeping many details about Google Purge under wraps, some analysts speculate that the categories of information Google will eventually index or destroy include handwritten correspondence, buried fossils, and private thoughts and feelings. The company's new directive may explain its recent acquisition of Celera Genomics, the company that mapped the human genome, and its buildup of a vast army of laser-equipped robots. 'Google finally has what it needs to catalog the DNA of every organism on Earth,' said analyst Imran Kahn of J.P. Morgan Chase. 'Of course, some people might not want their DNA indexed. Hence, the robot army. It's crazy, it's brillianttypical Google.' Google executives oversee the first stage of Google Purge. Google's robot army is rumored to include some 4 million cybernetic search-and-destroy units, each capable of capturing and scanning up to 100 humans per day. Said co-founder Sergey Brin: 'The scanning will be relatively painless. Hey, it's Google. It'll be fun to be scanned by a Googlebot. But in the event people resist, the robots are programmed to liquify the brain.' Markets responded favorably to the announcement of Google Purge, with traders bidding up Google's share price by $1.24, to $285.92, in late trading after the announcement. But some critics of the company have found cause for complaint. 'This announcement is a red flag,' said Daniel Brandt, founder of Google-Watch.org. 'I certainly don't want to accuse of them having bad intentions. But this campaign of destruction and genocide raises some potential privacy concerns.' Brandt also expressed reservations about the company's new motto. Until yesterday's news conference, the company's unofficial slogan had been 'Don't be evil.' The slogan has now been expanded to 'Don't be evil, unless it's necessary for the greater good.' Co-founders Page and Brin dismiss their critics. 'A lot of companies are so worried about short-term reactions that they ignore the long view,' Page said. 'Not us. Our team is focused on something more than just making money. At Google, we're using technology to make dreams come true.' 'Soon,' Brin added, 'we'll make dreams clickable, or destroy them forever.' 
3	Police Take Newborn After Mother Refuses Hep B Vaccination; Lawsuit and Trial FollowsKenny Valenzuela, Contributor The next morning the court system determined this was a violation of Constitutional laws and the baby was immediately returned to the custody of her parents with no mention of the possible damage done to her immune system after receiving this toxic concoction. With the help of the Home Schooling Legal Defense Association {HSLDA} the Ferriss have filed a civil rights lawsuit on grounds that their 4th and 14th amendments had been violated. This lawsuit has been making its way through the court systems and earlier this month a judge ruled in favor of the Ferriss claims and the case will now proceed to trial. Jodi had planned on avoiding this situation altogether by having her baby born at home with the help of a midwife. Unfortunately a contingency plan for this particular vignette was not written down. When she went into labor out in the community her only advice was to take an ambulance to the nearest hospital. We can learn from this by having vaccine exemption forms and a packet containing alllegal information and documentation necessary, just in case you end up in a similar situation that involves employing the help of the medical death industry, which in this instance takes no responsibility for exposing the Ferriss daughter to harmful toxic filled injections known as vaccinations. We need to focus on legislation that would include an opt-in program for individuals that feel vaccines are beneficial; that way the rest of us dont have to jump through hoops just to avoid participating in their flawed scientific experimentation called childhood immunizations.

1	ORLANDONBA commissioner David Stern interrupted the halftime ceremony of the Sixers-Magic game Wednesday to announce that Shaquille O'Neal would be returning to the court this postseason, not as a player, but as a guest referee in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Championship. 'It's time I brought the law enforcement back into the NBA,' Stern said as he introduced the unsmiling O'Neal, who glowered at the crowd while wearing a black-and-white-striped referee shirt with the sleeves cut off.

3	Create A Collapse Supply List Based On The Things They Are Out Of In VenezuelaBy Daisy Luther Every day, there is more dire news out of Venezuela. Its so bad there that even the mainstream news can no longer ignore that the country is in the midst of an economic collapse. Thousands have turned to looting in order to feed their families. Even their soldiers have been stealing food. Long lines, empty stores, and hospitals without electricity are the norm instead of an unusual occurrence. It wasnt always like that. Life before Venezuela devolved into socialism looked a whole lot like our lives do today. In fact, as recently as the 1970s, Venezuela was one of the top 20 richest countries in the world. So, today, our financial situation certainly looks far brighter than that of Venezuela, but according to a lot of experts, that is a glossy veneer over a crumbling foundation. Obama calls it peddling fiction but the outlook here is not good. Financial statistics are massaged and many of them hidden to keep us in the dark. Jobs are nearly impossible to find, and heaven help you if you lose one. The price of living is going up, but financial solvency is going down as personal debt outstrips the ability to pay it. Pension funds that people rely on are going bankrupt, one after another. It really isnt a question of if, but when. Economic collapse starts out as going through hard times. It isnt mobs on the streets or regression to Third World status initially. Before it ever gets to that, you have time to prepare. So lets get started. The best way to make your supply list is to identify what theyve run out of in Venezuela. Below, you can find a list of the things they do not have, along with suggestions for stocking up or educating yourself. If we never have a problem in the United States, you can rest assured that none of these supplies are crazy things youll never use. Most are the most basic of necessities, and youll find its very convenient to be able to shop in your pantry whenever you need something. As well, learning to be more self-reliant is a great way to save money, live simpler, and often be healthier than those who depend on the store to meet all their needs. Food The first thing we saw as Venezuela began going down was that the government cracked down on the ability to stock up on food. They instituted a fingerprint registry for buying food, made prepping illegal, and began to dole out supplies. The government took over most of the stores, then forced farmers to hand over the majority of their crops at the price the government chose to pay. These crops were then marked up extravagantly and sold to people who suddenly found they could no longer afford to eat. Eventually, the government announced that the country was out of food and that if people wanted to eat, theyd better grow their own. Supplies mentioned in articles that people have stolen and waited all day in line for are milk, bread, chicken, rice, and flour. Heres a list of food and related supplies you should stock up on. Also, check out this article:The Self-Reliance Manifesto: More Than 300 Resources to Guide You on the Path to Radical Freedom HygieneItems Its important to be able to remain clean if you want to stay healthy. Following are some of the supplies that have been in shortage in Venezuela for months now. For some of these items, you can learn to make them yourself. For others, you can make or purchase reusable versions. Public Utilities The country is rationing electricity and has been for quite some time. Currently, there are mandatory rolling blackouts. This is affecting everyday life, in that food cant be kept in freezers, they are dealing with the hot humid weather without air conditioning, and they must use alternative lighting. Stock up now on ways to deal with those concerns. These articles, books, and supplies can help you make your plan. Medicine and Medical Care Your heart will break into a million pieces, but this article from the front page of the NY Times (hat tip to Mary) tells you the real nitty gritty of the situation in Venezuela. A hospital is just as likely to kill you as make you better now, due to terrible sanitation and a lack of supplies. Theyre out of antibiotics, cancer medicine, and equipment. They cant do dialysis or other life-saving treatments. They have no running water so theyre doing operations on a table still covered with blood from the last patient. The rolling blackouts mean that every single day, babies and other patients dependent on respirators are dying. Doctors are making lists of supplies for the families of patientsto go out and attempt to procure from the black market. It is essential that you keep some supplies on hand and that you begin learning all you can about survival medicine. The best book for that is Cat Elliss book, Preppers Natural Medicine. It isnt dependent on expensive, difficult-to-find supplies, but on things you can find in your area. This book is something you absolutely must add to your stockpile. If you can treat most ailments at home and stay away from hospitals, youre far more likely to survive in a scenario like the one described above. A trip to the hospital in that situation is probably more likely to result in your death than avoiding it altogether. If you wait until a crisis is already occurring, youve waited too long, which is exactly what the people of Venezuela are learning. By preparing ahead of time and filling your collapse supply list, while you may still experience difficult times, your struggle will not be as extreme as the ones were seeing.

'We had it so goodeveryone really appreciated the amount of leeway we were given, and now, because of this guy, we all have to suffer,' said Andrew Schechter, who joined his peers in a long, icy glare at Poole moments after the honor had been revoked. 'He says were overreacting, but he hasnt been here long enough to understand what it was like before. If he thinks our silent treatment is tough, wait until we start talking about him like he isnt even here.' Though Poole said he was unaware he was taking advantage of anything, his peers informed him that he really just should have known better. 
2	Trump And Carson Join Forces In THIS Epic Stand Against Muslims We heard news the other day of Trump announcing that he witnessed Muslim Americans celebrating the 9/11 travesty. Just today, Ben Carson has come public supporting his fellow Republican candidate. Carson said he saw undisputed video evidence of thousands of Muslim-Americans cheering at the collapse of the towers. These two are the only ones to have seen this film, and because it has yet to surface, they are under fire for these claims. This might be an indication that they have the intentions of working together in the presidency. They need our support. Do you support Trump and Carsons unified stand against terrorism? 
1	Hoping the release of the updated image might generate a lead on the whereabouts of the missing animal, officials from the World Wildlife Fund published a photo Wednesday depicting what the dusky seaside sparrowlast seen on June 17, 1987may have evolved to look like. If anyone has encountered a non-migratory songbird that matches the one shown in this picture, please contact our organization immediately, said WWF spokesperson Shannon Hockesley at a morning press event, gesturing to the large overhead screen displaying the last known photo of the bird next to a digitally progressed image showing a slightly larger specimen with faintly lighter plumage in a present-day environment. However, keep in mind that this is only our best approximation. Its also possible that after several generations, the species may have evolved to have a marginally narrower beak or a couple more speckles on its breast. While acknowledging the possibility that the bird is extinct, officials said they still hold out hope that it might have secretly migrated to a biome far away and currently be living under an assumed identity as a black-and-white warbler or pied wagtail. 
2	BREAKING: Clinton Investigator Breaks His Silence... Reveals Hillarys Darkest Secret [VIDEO] During a radio broadcast on Tuesday, Citizens United founder Floyd Brown dropped a seriously bombshell when he opened up about the way presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton targeted him during the 1990s over his attempts to investigate sexual abuse allegations against Bill Clinton. I had illegal wiretaps of me played at the top of the news on the CBS Evening News, the former Clinton investigator told USA Radio host Rusty Humphries. Those wiretaps of telephone conversations that I held were given to CBS by a private investigator by the name of Jack Palladino, who had been hired by a woman named Betsy Wrightwho was working directly below Hillary Clinton and fighting what they called the Bimbo Eruptions, Brown commented. He then went on to reveal that he was recorded by Clintons people while discussing the death of Suzanne Coleman, who allegedly died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the back of the head while pregnant with what was rumored to be Bill Clintons baby. According to Brown, Hillarys goal was to stop him from continuing to investigate her husband. It was clear that she didnt want the media to find out about Bills multiple victims. If you start to add it up, theres more than 15 different women that have accused Bill Clinton not of just unwanted advances, but literally groping them, touching them and some even accused him of rape, Brown concluded. These people have a long-term history of running what I would call a criminal enterprise, and Donald Trumps the first one whos had the guts and willingness to go out and talk about them. What do you think? Does America deserve to know who the Clintons really are? 
3	BOOM: Top Ebola Scientist Joked About Culling Humanity with Engineered VirusAaron Dykes Melissa Melton But that Ebola treatment, created by a leading bioengineering scientist from the University of Arizona who joked about wiping out humanity with a better genetically engineered virus during a post-lecture QA focused on over-population issues, citing the Hollywood film Contagion. As Truthstream Media previously reported, on February 2, 2012, Dr. Charles Arntzen, head of The Biodesign Institute for Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology, responded to a question pertaining to whether feeding the 8 billion people of the world was worth it, or whether population reduction should be pursued. The scientist quipped: Check it out in live color in the video report below: While this comment was made prior to the current Ebola outbreak fears, it is unsettling given the high level projects Dr. Arntzen has worked on for DARPA, as well as private biotech research. Among these are storable genetically engineered Anthrax vaccines for use during a biological attack, an edible vaccine with genetically engineered medicine/vitamins grown into foods like bananas and even work supporting efforts by EpiCyte to create a spermicidal anti-bodies grown in corn to slow human reproduction. Statements like these hardly convey trust in a process that is already less than transparent and prone to speculation, various states of unrest and panic on the part of the public. The Daily Mail reported that much of the local population in Sierra Leone have been distrustful of medical workers there and blamed the deaths on a government conspiracy Someone casually remarking on culling some 25% of the population with a bioweapon is THE LAST PERSON youd want to trust with creating an already dangerous countermeasure to Ebola, which carries a death rate as high as 90%.

He went on to say that serving as the President of the United States must be hell. Perhaps most shocking was Brooks response when he was asked whether President Obama was living up to his expectations of someone in that role. Yeah, I think what President Obama is finding out is all that we want to do, the system kind of doesnt allow the most powerful guy in the world to kind of do his job and Im sure nobodys more frustrated than him to complete those promises that he did, Brooks responded. I think hes trying his heart out. I love him to death and I fully support him and I just wish him well because its got to be hell in that office. Brooks then claimed that the entire political system in America is of concern. It just seems like we vote for things because theyre Republic or Democratic, he told reporters. What do you think of Brooks comments? Are you surprised that his fans are furious with him? 
3	US Government Threatened Germany Over Aiding SnowdenSM Gibson German Vice ChancellorSigmar Gabriel stated this week that the United States threatened to halt relayingall intelligence information with Berlin if they assisted the NSA whistleblowerin any way.They told us they would stop notifying us of plots and other intelligence matters, Gabriel said. Gabriel commended the work of Greenwald and other reporters as he delivered a speech regarding the journalistic efforts made concerning the Snowden leaks. The Vice Chancellor displayedregret that the former Booz Allen employeewas forced to seek political shelterin Putins autocratic Russia. As the German leader elaborated that no nation was ableor inclined to offer Snowden assistance, an interjecting voice from the crowd bellowed out, Why dont you bring him to Germany, then? Gabriel countered the interruption by claiming that his government would be legally bound to extradite the American refugee if he stepped foot on German soil. At the conclusion of the address, Greenwald, who was present at the event, questionedGabriel as to the truth about why Germany didnt offer Snowden asylum because under international law, once asylum status has been granted, the subject would no longer be considered a fugitive. According to The Intercept, the vice chancellor responded by saying, The U.S. government had aggressively threatened the Germans that if they did so, they would be cut off from all intelligence sharing. That would mean, if the threat were carried out, that the Americans would literally allow the German population to remain vulnerable to a brewing attack discovered by the Americans by withholding that information from their government. This would basically mean that the U.S. was prepared to hold the people of Germany and their safety hostage in the name of pride. If for some reason Vice Chancellor Gabriel was not being truthful in his remarks, his words could be deemed a fear tactic in order to make the people of Germany believe that asylum for Snowden is a detriment to their own well-being. Either way you look at it, the people of both the United States and Germany, along with their freedoms, come out on the losing end.

3	Sunny Nevada Just Killed the Solar Industry with 40% Tax Hike, Derailing the Off-Grid MovementBy Justin Gardner This single move by government regulators will effectively kill the solar industry in Nevada and put an end to the surge of people seeking to detach from the grid by harnessing their own energy from the sun. Just as importantly, it serves to protect the profits of Nevadas public utility company, NV Energy. It will destroy the rooftop solar industry in one of the states with the most sunshineThere is so much wrong with the decision, said SolarCity CEO Lydon Rive. The one beneficiary of this decision would be NV Energy, whose monopoly will have been protected. Two major solar companies, SolarCity and Sunrun, have already left the state, causing upwards of a thousand job cuts. Many more renewable energy jobs are at stake. Solar industry supporters and workers are planning to protest the new rates at a rally in Carson City and Las Vegas, as industry and public outcry may force regulators to reconsider their decision. One Nevada resident wrote in the Las Vegas Sun that she feels financially ambushed after tapping into their retirement savings to become a solar household. Before the rate change, the system would have paid for itself in 14 years, but now that will never happen. With the new pricing for [net metering] customers, the value or price of the energy they produce will be vastly reduced. In addition, the flat service charge for NEM customers will rise to three times that charged to nonsolar residential customers, a kind of penalty for producing much of our own electricity. The people with solar on their homes feel cheated; solar businesses are closing or leaving. NV Energya regulated monopoly with an authorized rate of returnis unabashed in saying that the surge in renewable energy is cutting into their profits. Last year the company, owned by Warren Buffetts Berkshire Hathaway, got Sen. Patricia Farley to draft the amendment that shifted the states net metering over to the PUC. In their view, solar customers dont pay their fair share to maintain the grid. With the rate changes, Nevada regulators are demonstrating the willingness and ease with which government can neutralize the off-grid movement while protecting their favorite utilities. Rooftop solar, along with innovations such as Teslas Powerwall, represents a huge opportunity for people to free themselves from an energy structure ruled by corporations and state co-conspirators. Residential solar customers are not the only threat to the profits of NV Energy. A consortium of casinos and businesses is looking to leave NV Energys grid and start generating their own power, saying theyre being placed at a competitive disadvantage because theyre paying more for energy than their business rivals in nearby states. The state Public Utilities Commission has said it would charge hefty fees $27 million in the case of Las Vegas data center Switch to let industrial ratepayers leave the system. The fight between NV Energy and the solar industry may be a microcosm of a larger struggle involving the fossil fuel industry. The American Energy Alliance, a fossil fuel advocacy organization backed by the infamous Koch brothers, applauded the Nevada decision as a matter of national policy. They are pushing efforts in other states to curtail the rise of solar energy. In this vein, the outcome of Nevadas situation could have implications far beyond that state. Nevada could set a precedent for other states, Hugh Wynne, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein Co., wrote in note Tuesday. Regulators across the country are grappling with how to spur the development of clean energy sources while ensuring operators can collect enough money to maintain and update their grids. Bloomberg News The question must be asked, why does government protect the status quo? Why is it assumed that existing utility operators must be preserved in this rapidly changing energy landscape? Instead, consider that old utility grids are no longer applicable in the 21st century. This is a pivotal moment in the evolution of the energy paradigm. We have the ability to leave behind the dirty, corrupt legacy of fossil fuels and enter an era of localized, renewable energy. As The Free Thought Project reported in November, within 25 years we could have a complete energy transformation, as the cost of renewables declines and technology advances exponentially. Rooftop solar and localized systems will lead the revolution. In order to achieve this, we must break from the grip of those who would keep us in the dark ages to satiate their thirst for power and wealth. Image Credit Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com F*cking outrageous. Hey, lets kill jobs and the planet at the same time! The only hope here is overreach leading to mass revolt against this action. If they had just raised the tax and reduced the payments slightly, theyd probably get away with it without a fight. By doing it this way, its such transparently audacious monopoly protection with a punch in the face to so many people, its bound to backfire. Hopefully. and no official has hanged yet? Land of the free? Utility companies are not allowed rate hikes without state govt approval. This is illegal discrimination plain simple. Needs a class action suit if that fails get it on the ballot. Dont the solar companies know they have to be politically active to protect themselves? So disconnect from the grid entirely and build a ballasting Solar system. Batteries and inverters. If you have no NV energy bill they cant charge you anything. Exactly my thoughts Depending on your city and state that is a crime, or there are HUGE monthly fees to do it. Many states will condemn your house and say it is not livable if you do not have city run power going to it. At least, that was the threats i was given if i take myself off and quit paying their monthly fees I have a transformer a pole 120 from my house. I will definitely use batteries and NOT use their poles and transformers. The bully you into hooking up so they can keep track of you. Think Smart Meters of surveillance meters. not true unfortunately they wont give you a occupancy permit if you are not attached to the grid then send in SWAT teams if you refuse to vacate your own home true story Not true Im electrical contractor that researched this. U must stay on the grid thats true I tell customer as backup power supply on total battery discharge maybe. BUT u dont need to send your PV power to grid. This is accomplished with a auto transfer or manual transfer switch. From PV panels to battery stack (48 to 52 DCV) to inverter to house system panel 2 pole breaker 20 amp (240 VAC) then to (cheap easier way) backfeed from same house panel on 2 pole 100 amp breaker to all house branch circuits u want to feed in what we call an emergency bypass panel (in this panel also set up a genset feed plug to a 2P breaker to justify it to code enforcement) the generator is stage dressing. Manually turn off main breaker during daylight hours. Turn back on at night (minimal power usage on bill). This is why u need a manual transfer switch hire an electrician that knows theory. Pay for the permit n inspection. DO NOT ALLOW DSL MONITORING forgo the credit n rebate. $22000 to 25,000. Maintain that battery pack n keep those panels clean. Youre now paying minimum n have a legal backup system. Get a letter from your doctor declaring u need emergency power for med equipment. Let em try to deny that n lawyer up theyll settle n never bother u again. $50 1.4 = $70 new bill. Just remember to turn on/off that main breaker till it becomes a habit. Done 3 of these so edison hates me. Right, go entirely off the grid. Call those greedy bastards and tell them to come get their meter and to not come back. This all makes sense. The LAST thing the system wants you to do is to be free of needing them. The more dependent you are the more one sided a deal they can impose upon you. Liberals created it, liberals promoted it, liberals made promises if you bought it, and in the end- Liberals sold you out for the benefit of the State. Kind of like ObamaCare. You keep believing in that State-Run Utopia. I live TRULY off the grid with my own solar, wind, water. Anything involving a partnership with the State is doomed to always benefit the State. When is the last time you ever saw THEM take a pay or power cut? Thats your duty, lowly Serf. Hmm, Nevada is a republican run state, with republican governor and majority repub reps. So tell me how this is a liberal caused thing? The first mistake you make (like alot of progressives) is to assume that Republican means Conservative. Nevada Republicans re about as right-wing as the California ones. The Conservative Base are currently in a full-fledged rebellion with the RNC over just that liberalism. That being said, the people who run all this are not the Gov or Legislature, but the Public Utilities Commission. And every single member is a left-leaning lawyer, with deep ties to (and work history with) the Environmentalist Left and Harry Ried. Harry, of course, got huge payoffs from the Chinese (suppliers of the solar panels) and got all this scam pushed through. He knew, along with the PUC, that it was economically unsustainable without rate increases or a tax bailout, but also knew that voters are stupid. And would simply blame the Republicans at the State House, who actually had nothing to do with the overall deal. Other than rubber-stamping it so they would look green. Republicans have been played by Harry and the Dems so often, their political incompetence borders on Special Needs territory. But they also have a clueless electorate to contend with. An electorate that assumes that some corrupt deal, or bad policy made almost 10 years ago, is the fault of the people in office right now. But in the end, that uninformed electorate who allows sunshine to be blown up their azz, gets exactly what is happening to them right now. And theyre so stupid, they will vote for the same corrupt people who sold them this unworkable plan Evil sociopathic politicians. i guess the public utilities commission hasnt heard about the ex post facto Prohibition when getting legislation passed. Just leave the system entirely. if you are going to invest in solar panels, go the whole hog and buy batteries too. If you dont deal with the utility company, the utility company cant screw you. This is one of the few opportunities afforded to lowly peasants to just WALK AWAY from one facet of the evil power structure strangling the whole world. Time to break up that monopoly into Lines provider and Power generators. We did that here in victoria/australia and it made things way WORSE. Now instead of just a state run utility which was very profitable, we have private corporations (generation/supply/retail) representive the states power industry which each make as much profit as the entire system did before privatization was forced on us by the conservative government of the day. And 80% of that tripling of the profits goes overseas while we have regular black/brown outs and little to no maintenance is done on the network till it catastrophically fails, leaving tens of thousands with a power system we just cant rely on and yet pay more than 5 times as much for compared to pre-privatization. I put a lot of effort into making sense out of this post, I failed. Sure, they can condemn your home if you try to live without the local power company. And if you refuse to vacate your home they evict you and seize the property. The best way around that is by doing what so many liveaboards do on their large sailboats: Living on a boat makes you entirely portable, able to generate your own solar and wind electricity, and with a reverse-osmosis watermaker, even do without municipal water. These liveaboard people travel from port to port, marina to marina, nation to nation. Just have a reliable source of income arranged Because thats just SO financially feasible for the millions, including old age retirees, who ONLY went into debt to get solar because they couldnt afford the ever inflating price of power. Yeah thats the trick; how to have income while boating. Citizens pay a premium on Electricity in the Pacific North West to support the Aluminum plant. If the Public did not pay the extra amount the Aluminum would be too expensive for China to purchase and no one would make a profit..That is the definition of capitalism Dont you mean fascism? OMG, 5 birds!! Call the army, this evil plant immediately and build a polluting coal station instead that doesnt harm a single thing and all that soot and CO2 is good for the environment dont ya know. How about when you buy a bicycle you have to pay Ford Motor $20 per month because you cut into their profits by not buying a car instead? This seems to be the general direction of things. Good lord, who do you work for? 
3	Clash of Belief Systems Dominates the Biological Weapons ConventionBy Janet Phelan Russia exerted her right of reply to respond to statements made by the US and Sweden which implicated Syrian forces in the use of chemical weapons in that war torn country. According to the spokesperson for the Russian Federation, such accusations were not only off topic at a meeting devoted to biologicalnot chemicalweapons but were also patently false. More likely, asserted the Russian spokesman, was that US-affiliated jihadists used chlorine gas and attempted to pin this on the embattled Assad regime. The US, he declared, is known to be supporting terrorist groups such as Al Nusra in that region. Not to be left out in the cold, the US-connected Ukrainian spokesperson also defended the USs assertions. The representative from Syria also weighed in, stating he had no problem being referred to as Bashar al Assads delegateapparently intended as a slur against the delegateand spoke in support of the current regime in Syria. I think of this conference at the United Nations as Ground Zero. Every five years, there is a Review Conference of the Biological Weapons in Geneva, Switzerland. For three weeks, delegates from over a hundred and seventy nations meet to discuss the latest advances in biological weaponswhose got em, who might have em and what to do to protect a vulnerable world from their proliferation and deployment. It is a fairly low profile meeting, with little press interest and no major movements in international policy. For the fact is that the BWC is virtually the only international arms treaty that has no verification mechanism and no means of ensuring compliance. However, if one has been following the bio trail, one might come to the conclusion that it is a very hot topic, littered with all kinds of evidence that state parties are failing to comply with the terms of the treaty and may have active biological weapons programs which they are attempting to obscure from international oversight. One such state party, potentially the most powerful state party in the room, would be the United States of America. And nowhere was the clash of cultures which has split the world into US devotees and US critics more in evidence than in the Convention Hall that Wednesday morning, as US-aligned and non-aligned sectors accused each other of using the Convention for propaganda purposes. Things might have cooled down after this exchange, as the NGOs were then scheduled to make their brief presentations. As it turned out, most of the NGOs were fairly staid in their presentations, intoning the necessity of making the world safer in face of the increasing threat of biological weapons. A new kid on the block, The International Office for Innovation in Reducing Crime, detailed a strategy to address biorisks while the usual suspects, including UPMC and Vertic, made presentations which highlighted their very public profile as policy analysts. Some of you may already know that I was also scheduled to present on Wednesday. Representing ITHACA, a grassroots NGO established in 2009 for the purposes of engaging the US on pivotal human rights issues, I had traveled to Geneva to inform the Convention of the wealth of documentation pointing to biological weapons treaty violations by the leader of the free world. I made this trip to Geneva not because I believed that the UN would magically step in and correct the situation. Understanding the limitations of the treaty as well as the obvious tilt at the UN in favor of the US, I made this effort because the gravity of the situation demands attention from every possible sector. My six minute presentation touched on a number of points wherein the bioweapons activity of the US had hit major media and a couple where the media had ignored the story. To read the presentation entire, you may click here. On leaving the Convention Hall, I was accosted by the presenter from UPMC (even though UPMC is part of a private university and presents itself as civil society, it is rife with fellows such as Jen January Thierren, who works at the CDC but received a fellowship from UPMC. Such blurring of lines between government and civil society raises questions about who is leading whom around by the nose). Dr Gigi Gronvall, whose bio reads like a case study in the melding of government with private bioresearch, confronted me with a heated accusation that my presentation was fact free. So I asked her what was not factual. I also mentioned that, as I informed the Convention at the end of my statement, I am available to provide documentation as to the allegations. How could I help her? She didnt seem able to provide any input, however (other than a round of name calling). She did say that I said that the live anthrax sent last year to 194 labs worldwide was intentional. However, as my presentation reveals, I said no such thing. Rather, I said that the determination that the problem was the deactivating equipment at Dugway was nonsensical due to the fact that the same problem happened eight years prior and nothing was done to fix it. At that point, Scott Spence from Vertic came storming out and started yelling at me. We work hard on these issues and you show up every five years and drop a bomb. I am ashamed to be in the same room with you! His face was red and contorted with anger. Then he flounced back into the Convention. I guess he didnt want to take me up on my offer to supply documentation to support my allegations. Dr. Gronvall then came back from another tack. What does the deactivating equipment at Dugway have to do with lead in the water in Flint Michigan? she asked. I never said it had anything to do with it, I replied. Well, why did you bring it up? she demanded. I had five minutes to provide a brief overview of non compliance, I replied. I was attempting to bring home the message about the vulnerability in the USAs water systems. Ah ha!! she cried. You think the US is non compliant? The US is the good guy here! she asserted. You really believe that? I said. Yes! (She was yelling now). Then I am very sorry for you, I said, terminating the conversation. What has become clear through these two eventsthe war of words between the West and Russia, followed by the outrage generated by my presentationis that we are not all living in the same world any more. The world has been split into US aligned and US skeptical. The hologram created to obscure the reality of US aggression,world wide, must be considered side by side with the factsno WMDs in Iraq, and finger pointing about chemical weapons in Syria that boomerangs back at the accuser. If the US is becoming more strident and shrill in the war of words then it is apparent that the hologram is breaking apart, as reality keeps asserting itself. What we can conclude here is how important a multi-polar world really is. A landscape which provides multiple perceptions, multiple takes on reality and multiple possible solutions is a world rich in potential. A world only governed by one power, one agenda, is an Orwellian nightmare. Out of the hundreds of press contacts I made before traveling to Geneva for the BWC, one bore fruit. TASS, the Russian giant news agency, ran an article about our concerns that the US is violating the BWC. Out of the legion of contacts I made with the mainstream Western news agencies, not one picked up the story. And in case it isnt quite clear what the story may be, lets not leave you in a state of confusion. A deliberately caused pandemic, selectively delivered, has the potential of decimating the population of the US, or at least the targeted groups. That would be a holocaust of a different color, one done under the guise of plausible deniability. If enough people know what is in the works, it becomes more difficult for the dark sleight of hand to strike. It is that simple. The truth can not only set you freeit may just keep you living.

Keep up the good work. The intimidation and nasty attacks on truth tellers/whistle blowers continues. Those with the most to lose, concerning power, grants and funding, are usually the most acidic and huffy. Why have Americans, especially, grown so resistant to the truth? Americans will not hire, promote or fund anyone who doesnt agree with them. Kiss assing is the only skill taught in America. KUDOS Janet the Usurped Ztates must be held accountable. Keep hammering away, as sooner or later the cat will be out of the bag, even in the MSM!!! Thank you for a brave and intelligent talk to those who will not or have been paid not to listen to reality. Janet Phelan is a disinformation agent, posting as an activist. This screed shes publishing about the water pipes is something shes been relentlessly hawking since 2007, and no-doubt is being forwarded to provide cover for something-worse the U.S. government is doing. 
2	Military Witness Comes Forward And Delivers The Truth About Benghazi Hillarys Career Is Over [VIDEO] As investigations into Benghazi continue, questions about Hillary Clintons involvement continue to arise. Kris Paronto, a former Army Ranger and military contractor, only reinforced Clintons involvement when he claimed that her emails contained incriminating information about the attack. The controversial conversation took place on Americans Forum on Newmax TV just last week. Paronto added that he believes that responsibility for the attack is with the State Department and the Obama administration. My team was hit, Paronto told viewers. People died that night. We still dont have the information. We did not get support in Benghazi, period. Now, Paronto is in search of one thing and one thing only: the truth. Why didnt his team receive support? He believes Hillary has the answers. What do you think, does Hillary owe the American people and those who fought in Benghazi the truth? Watch the full video here: 
2	Airline Is Sued For Kicking U.S. Marine Off The Plane With Disgusting Excuse Former U.S. Marine, Chris Shelley, was kicked off an airplane by American Airlines for being too fat. The woman sitting next to him complained to the flight attendants, and Shelley was escorted off of the plane. Shelley described the airline are treating him as if he was a criminal. He could have switched seats with someone, or even sat in a seat next to no one, as the flight wasnt even full. Shelley flies more than 100,000 miles a year. He is demanding monetary compensation and a sincere apology, with the threat of suing. Should American Airlines issue an apology for their horrible treatment of this veteran? 
3	Over the Counter Painkillers can Increase Risk of 2nd Heart Attack, DeathElizabeth Renter According to the study, published in the journal Circulation, people who have suffered a previous heart attack should use medications including ibuprofen and naproxen (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs) very cautiously and only in consultation with your doctor. This is because the OTC medications can dramatically increase the risk of a subsequent heart attack and increase the chance of death. In the first year after the heart attack, 20 percent of NSAID users died, versus about 12 percent of non-users. -MSNBC And the elevated risks dont go away over time. Although the death rate declined for those who took the OTC drugs and those who didnt, the NSAID users rate was still about double that of non-users after four years. This isnt the first time safety of NSAIDs in heart patients has been called into question. COX-2 inhibitors, a type of NSAIDs, have been linked to increased risk of heart attack and cardiovascular problems. Two of these drugs, rofecoxib (Vioxx) and valdecoxib were taken off the market several years ago while Celebrex is still being prescribed for arthritis. Heart patients are encouraged to use acetaminophen (Tylenol) rather than NSAIDs for OTC pain relief. Interestingly, they are seldom encouraged by their traditional MDs to explore known natural anti-inflammatory options like turmeric. Not only does turmeric act as a natural anti-inflammatory, its this inflammation-fighting property that could be responsible for its heart healthy benefits. A recent study, reported here, showed heart-bypass patients taking a curcumin (turmeric) supplement had a far lesser risk of heart attack than a placebo group. If you have a headache, which is one of the most common triggers for ingesting over the counter painkillers, try one of these natural home remedies for headaches instead. Should heart patients stay away from NSAIDs? I think the research is clearyes! But, this doesnt mean you should pop a Tylenol instead. Acetiminophen has its own list of negative side effects including liver damage and even death. Explore More: Also See:Aspirin Dangers, and Natural, Evidence-Based Alternatives

'Unfortunately, the Smithsonian is not accepting unsolcited submissions at this time,' read the form letter sent by the Smithsonian Institution to the residence of Mr. McDermott, along with the returned tie and autographed headshot originally sent to the museum. 'While we appreciate your interest, the article of clothing in question does not meet the level of cultural significance demonstrated by the artifacts included in our collection, such as the ruby slippers from The Wizard Of Oz and Archie Bunker's chair from All In The Family. Best of luck.' When asked for comment, Mr. McDermott said he thought the Smithsonian was making a 'huge mistake,' but believed another item he recently sent the museuma sweater he wore in the 2003 film Runaway Jurywas 'a sure thing.'

For decades, rumors have been circulating that Chelsea Clinton may not be the biological daughter of Bill Clinton. Some suspect that she was fathered by former Associate Attorney General, Webb Hubbell. Now, Roger Stone, infamous author of The Clintons War on Women, has strengthened these rumors by claiming that Chelsea underwent four plastic surgeries to make herself more strongly resemble bill. She looks just like her daddy, despite four plastic surgeries, the youngest one when shes only 18, Stone commented. What 18-year-old gets plastic surgery unless youre trying to, I dont know, thin out the lips and make you look less like your daddy. Watch the report below and tell us what you think.

2	Rick Perry Shocks America With Huge Move That Will Change The 2016 Election Now that the American public is starting to wonder who will be running in the 2016 election, many conservatives are wondering if Dr. Ben Carson will run. Carson has been in the public eye recent given his common sense approach to problem solving and his willingness to speak out against corruption. Now, it appears that Texas Governor Rick Perry may also be a candidate for the 2016 election. He, too, has been making headlines regarding the current border crises. He was responsible for deploying 1,000 National Guardsmen to the border to protect his state. According to reports, Perry has also formed a political action committee known as RickPAC. He has gone on record stating that if he decides to take a shot at the presidency, he is going to be prepared. Preparation is the single most important lesson that I learned out of that process, Perry claimd. One cannot parachute into the process of being vetted for the nomination for the Republican Party without proper preparation. What do you think? Will you be relieved if Perry decides to run for presidency? Would you vote for Perry or Carson? 
3	HuhIt Must Be Something in the WaterDaisy Luther, Contributor We want to store the most pure, high-quality consumables that we can, in order to maintain our optimum wellness during any type of disaster scenario, and that includes the water we store. Most preppers know the Survival Rule of Three: The toxins present in municipal water supplies vary from city to city. In the US Midwest, for example, there are high levels of pesticides (in particular, weed killer) due to agricultural practices that contaminate the groundwater (this also affects well water in the area). In 22 states with military contractors, percholate, the explosive component of rocket fuel, has been found in the tap water. In 2008, the AP released a report informing us that water treatment centers were unable to remove all traces of pharmaceutical drugs from the water supply. (The drugs were introduced into the water by human and animal urine.) To determine the extent of drinking water contamination, an Associated Press investigative team surveyed the water providers of the 50 largest cities in the United States and 52 smaller communities, analyzed federal databases and scientific reports, and interviewed government and corporate officials. Also found in tap water are contaminants like aluminum, arsenic and lead (more on lead below). Chemical Cocktails Its All for Your Own Good If the outside contaminants arent enough of a worry, how about the chemicals that are deliberately added to the water supply by the treatment facilities themselves? According toDr. Michael J.Plewa, a genetic toxicology expert at the University of Illinois, chlorinated water is carcinogenic. Individuals who consume chlorinated drinking water have an elevated risk of cancer of the bladder, stomach, pancreas, kidney and rectum as well as Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma. While the talking heads of media and government are telling consumers that the fluoride in drinking water will assure them of good dental health, people are actually being poisoned. The consumption of fluoride lowers IQs, causes infertility, has been linked to cancer and causes hardening of the arteries. In fact, one study published in the January edition of the journal Nuclear Medicine Communications,the researchhighlights the fact thatmass fluoride exposure may be to blame for the cardiovascular disease epidemicthat takesmore lives each year than cancer. In 2008, cardiovascularkilled17 million people.According to the authors of the study: The coronary fluoride uptake value in patients with cardiovascular events was significantly higher than in patients without cardiovascular events. (Source) Its also important to note that the inclusion of fluoride in drinking water has no discernible positive effect on dental health. In fact, it can cause dental fluorosis, a visible overexposure to fluoride resulting in subtle white flecks in the tooth enamel all the way to a pronounced brown staining,. Bottled Isnt Better To add to the frustration, most bottled water is not that much safer than tap water. In fact, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found 38 contaminants in the top 10 brands of bottled water sold in the United States. The contaminants includeddisinfection byproducts, fertilizer residue, and pain medication, to name a few. Two brands, Walmart and Giant, were chemically identical to tap water, but sold at approximately 1900 times the price of the water from your faucet. In fact, according to some reports, more than 40% of bottled waters on the market are nothing more than tap water (including Pepsis Aquafina). Some bottled water is treated more than tap water, while some is treated less or not treated at all. Bottled water costs much more than tap water on a per gallon basis Consumers who choose to purchase bottled water should carefully read its label to understand what they are buying, whether it is a better taste, or a certain method of treatment. With all of the bad news about the water supply, youre probably feeling as frustrated as I was. The good news is, there are actions you can take to ensure the best possible supply of water in our increasingly contaminated world. Get spring water right from the source. Absolutely the best option for drinking water is finding a spring nearby and filling your own bottles with it. There is probably a spring nearby with water free for the taking. Use this interactive map to find a spring close to you. (Unfortunately, not all countries are represented on this map, but the US and many European countries are.) Spring water is naturally filtered by the earth, leaving a clear delicious water loaded with healthy minerals. Even better, in many places, spring water is free just bring your containers and fill them up! Filter your water. Get a good, gravity-fed water filter. This will allow you to remove many of the toxins found in tap water or surface water. I have the Big Berkey and have been very pleased with it. If your municipality adds fluoride to the water, it is necessary to also purchase a specific filter to remove the fluoride. A gravity fed filter does not require power to work, making it an excellent choice post-disaster. Choose your containers carefully. Glass is the most healthful option for water storage; however, large glass containers full of water are heavy and can break. If you are using plastic containers, the safest ones are markedPolyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE) orHigh density polyethylene (HDPE). Plastic containers that formerly contained juice or water are already compromised from the enzymes in those liquids. Water stored in plastic bottles should not be exposed to extremes of temperature, as this can also cause the plastic to leach chemicals into the water. Reverse Osmosis and distillation alone are not enough. The purification processes of Reverse Osmosis and distillation do not removedo not remove bacteria, viruses, or certain chemicals. These processes, while good, should be followed by filtration. If you store your water with a couple of drops of bleach in it, you should put it through your water filter if possible. I no longer store my water with bleach because I use my stored water on a rotating basis. We only drink spring water, and the 5 gallon jugs are used within 6 weeks.

2	You Wont Believe Who Is Suing Fox Because Of Muslims According to recent reports, the city of Paris has decided to sue Fox News after learning that the networked claimed that there were no-go zones in the city. The suit was initiated after a number of comments were made by Fox pundits in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attacks. (Paris has) no-go zones, Sean Hannity said. If youre non-Muslim, youre not allowed. Not police, not even fire department if theres a fire. Shariah courts have been allowed to be established. Prayer rugs in just about every hotel. Fox News issued an apology about the statement, but that didnt stop Paris from taking legal action. Mayor Anne Hildago of Paris complained publicly about the statement. Still, some note that the lawsuit may backfire on the city and believe that Fox will simply point to French media sources that have made similar claims regarding no-go zones. What do you think of Paris lawsuit?

2	Donald Trump Tells Colin Kaepernick To Leave The Country Colin Kaepernick has been a major source of controversy this year, with many Americans outraged with his attempts to thwart the National Anthem. Donald Trump has responded to his protests by saying the football player should find a country that works better for him. Trump has also called the players decision to sit during the anthem a terrible thing, and argued that finding a country better than ours wont happen. Still, Kaepernick has promised to sit through the national anthem for as long as he feels it is appropriate and until he sees significant progress. But many believe that spitting on the face of those who fight for this country is not the way to go. Even fellow football stars have spoken out against Kaepernicks actions. Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward commented that he can respect Kaepernicks cause but does not agree with the method he chose. Dont disrespect the whole country or the organization thats paying you millions of dollars, Ward argued. Jerry Rice also stood up for Old Glory, tweeting, All lives matter. So much going on in this world today; can we all just get along! What do you think? Are you tired of Kaepernick disrespecting this country? 
1	Activists on both sides of the gay marriage debate were shocked this November, when a typographical error in California's Proposition 8 changed the state constitution to restrict marriage to a union between 'one man and one wolfman,' instantly nullifying every marriage except those comprised of an adult male and his lycanthrope partner. 'The people of California made their voices heard today, and reaffirmed our age-old belief that the only union sanctioned in God's eyes is the union between a man and another man possessed by an ungodly lupine curse,' state Sen. Tim McClintock said at a hastily organized rally celebrating passage of the new law. But opponents, including Bakersfield resident Patricia Millardwho is now legally banned from marrying her boyfriend, a human, non-wolfman maleclaim it infringes on their civil liberties. 'I love James just as much as a wolfman loves his husband,' Millard said. 'We deserve the same rights as any horrifying mythical abomination.' On the heels of the historic typo, voters in Utah passed a similar referendum a week later, defining marriage as between one man and 23 wolfmen. 
3	Syrias War: The Next PhaseModerate myth is dropped as West prepares to leverage terror threat to end war in their favor. The alleged fleeing of General Selim Idriss of the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA), was more symbolic than anything else. Whether or not he really fled, and whether he is in Turkey or Qatar is of little consequence. The so-called moderates he commanded were nothing more than a smokescreen, a cheap veneer applied to the hardcore Wahabist extremists of Al Qaedas Al Nusra franchise and similar fronts that have formed the core of foreign-backed militancy turned against the Syrian people from the very beginning of the conflict. It was as early as 2007 when it was revealed that the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia were planning on building up extremists within and around Syria for the purpose of eventually overthrowing the government. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh warned about this in his extensive report titled, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? which prophetically stated (emphasis added): To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coperated with Saudi Arabias government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda. Since November 2011, al-Nusrah Front has claimed nearly 600 attacks ranging from more than 40 suicide attacks to small arms and improvised explosive device operations in major city centers including Damascus, Aleppo, Hamah, Dara, Homs, Idlib, and Dayr al-Zawr. During these attacks numerous innocent Syrians have been killed. And while the West has attempted to portray these extremist groups as entities entirely separate from the moderates they have claimed to be openly training, funding, arming, and equipping to the tune of billions of dollars, there is no other logical explanation for Al Nusras ability to rise above these Western-backed moderates, unless of course they never existed and the West was, as was planned in 2007, simply arming Al Qaeda all along. In Hershs 2007 report, it was noted that the West could not directly arm or fund the militant groups and that the US and Israel would have to funnel weapons and cash through nations like Saudi Arabia and Lebanon instead. Since 2011 when these plans went fully operational, Qatar and Turkey have also entered the fray. When questions are raised about Al Nusras rising prominence in the conflict, the West has been increasingly unsuccessful in convincing the world of its own plausible deniability. As the Syrian government began early this year to decisively turn the tide against the Wests proxy invasion, and after several abortive attempts to directly intervene militarily, the West appears to have resigned the myth of moderates and as of this week, symbolically ended its so-called non-lethal aid to terrorists operating in Syria. In fact, the myth of moderates was perpetuated solely to justify intervening directly on their behalf. With direct intervention taken off the table, it appears a new phase in the war has begun. Indeed, the West has claimed it has stopped the flow of aid to its moderate proxies, however, in practice, billions of dollars of equipment, weapons, and other forms of support will continue to flow so long as there are forces of any kind fighting inside of Syria against the government and its people. Geopolitical maneuvering reveals the framework for this next phase. During the Wests disingenuous nuclear negotiations with Iran, a feigned rift was opened between the US and Saudi Arabia. In Reuters report titled, Saudi Arabia warns of shift away from U.S. over Syria, Iran, it stated: Upset at President Barack Obamas policies on Iran and Syria, members of Saudi Arabias ruling family are threatening a rift with the United States that could take the alliance between Washington and the kingdom to its lowest point in years. Of course, Saudi Arabia owes its entire existence to the United States from its oil infrastructure, its military, and even its brutal internal security forces any real rift between the US and the Saudis would be a gust of wind upon a shaky house of cards. In reality, the rift is nothing more than political cover for the West as Saudi Arabia plans a more open and aggressive proxy campaign against Syria. As it directly arms and builds up legions of Al Qaeda, this rift will afford the United States who will in fact still be assisting Saudi Arabia in its proxy war, a degree of plausible deniability. In Foreign Policys article, Why Is Saudi Arabia Buying 15,000 U.S. Anti-Tank Missiles for a War It Will Never Fight? Hint: Syria, it states: No one is expecting a tank invasion of Saudi Arabia anytime soon, but the kingdom just put in a huge order for U.S.-made anti-tank missiles that has Saudi-watchers scratching their heads and wondering whether the deal is related to Riyadhs support for the Syrian rebels. The proposed weapons deal, which the Pentagon notified Congress of in early December, would provide Riyadh with more than 15,000 Raytheon anti-tank missiles at a cost of over $1 billion. Foreign Policy would go on to explain how the scheme would work, with the US replacing Saudi Arabias current arsenal while Saudi Arabia unloaded its older weapons onto terrorist armies invading Syria. FP reports: But while the latest American anti-tank weapons might not be showing up in Aleppo anytime soon, that doesnt mean the deal is totally disconnected from Saudi efforts to arm the Syrian rebels. What may be happening, analysts say, is that the Saudis are sending their stockpiles of anti-tank weapons bought from elsewhere to Syria and are purchasing U.S. missiles to replenish their own stockpiles. I would speculate that with an order of this size, the Saudis were flushing their current stocks in the direction of the opposition and replacing them with new munitions, said Charles Freeman, a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Saudis Terror Legions Not Enough to Win War West Has Another Plan Of course, with Syrias army already decisively on the offensive, restoring order to large swaths of Syrian territory and with the Wests terrorist proxies in many cases surrounded and cut off completely by Syrian forces, simply increasing arms shipments will not make much of a difference it will only prolong the inevitable and leave a lower intensity terror campaign like that seen currently in Iraq. With the West dumping the moderate narrative and acknowledging that Al Qaeda is all that is left fighting in Syria, it is preparing to leverage that terror threat and the possibility of its ally Saudi Arabia enhancing that threat as leverage with the Russians to cut ties and support for the Syrian government and bring the conflict to an end favorable to the West which started it in the first place. This was revealed in Foreign Policys article, Obama Advisor: Extremism Could Be Key to Ending Syrian Civil War, which stated (emphasis added): For the past two and a half years, as the civil war in Syria has descended into brutal bloodletting and spilled over its borders, Obama administration officials have consistently decried the growing presence of Islamist extremists in the conflict. But on Wednesday, Deputy National Security Advisor Antony Blinken turned that logic on its head: The growing role of extremist groups may actually be a good thing for bringing the conflict to a close, he said. Speaking at Transformational Trends, a conference co-hosted by Foreign Policy and the Policy Planning Staff of the U.S. State Department, Blinken said that the radicalization of the conflict may create a shared interest among world powers to bring the war to an end. The growing prominence of radical groups has begun to concentrate the minds of critical actors outside of Syria and may strip the Bashar al-Assad regime of the key international backing that has so far helped to keep him in power. If anything, however, such a move should be perceived by the world as the West conceding defeat and the resignation of its global order that once constituted hegemonic superiority. Syrias allies should take this new designation of the conflict in Syria as a terror threat as an opportunity to expand open support for the Syrian government to carry out sweeping anti-terror operations. Russia, China, Iran, and all other nations of good will should go to the UN seeking binding resolutions to help the Syrian government fight what is admitted now even by the West as a war on terror. The arrogance of the West may have just dealt the final blow to their global power and influence through this last attempt to leverage their own terror-front to end the conflict in their favor. Syria and its allies should take this opportunity to both expose the West and its regional axis of terror, and stop the war in Syria not with conditions favorable for the West and their regional ambitions, but with conditions favorable for the Syrian people.

2	You Wont Believe What Racy Clothing Michelle Obama Just Spent 50K On The Obamas claim that there is nothing wrong with their marriagebut when we hear that Michelle has spent over $50K on underwear recently, we cant help but wonder what she is trying to save. Apparently, while she was in New York City recently, the First Lady decided to have a shopping spree at the expense of the American people. According to The Telegraph, the far from modest trip included spending over fifty thousand dollars on Agent Provocateur, deemed the sexiest lingerie in the world. While the store did not divulge their clientele, they did mention that they have been visited recently by some high-profile clients. And according to one British news outlet, Michelle was single-handedly responsible for a 12% hike in the store prices. According to The Daily Caller, the least expensive item in the store is a thong that retails for $90. Bras and corsets start at $200, and other lingerie goes upwards of $3,000. Sounds like a desperate move if you ask usand at the expense of taxpayers. 
1	Sophie's Sandwich Shop patron Louis Worth, a longtime user of Grey Poupon dijon mustard, could not bring himself to ask for the product Monday when he actually needed it. 'There's usually a bottle on one of the tables, but this time there wasn't,' Worth said. 'I actually said 'Pardon me' to the guy behind the counter, but then stopped in my tracks. I realized that if I actually asked, the guy would probably act all funny and say, 'But, of course,' in a rich-guy voice. So I just ate my turkey sandwich without it.' 
1	Bob Hope's doctors and support staff have elected not to tell the 98-year-old show-business legend about the current military conflict in Afghanistan. Hope enjoys a bowl of ice cream. 'Bob is a true patriot, and whenever he hears about a new war, he wants to get out there and entertain the troops,' said Dr. Allan Reese, Hope's physician at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center, on Monday. 'We figured between his pneumonia scare in August and his advanced age, it'd be best if we kept him out of the loop on the whole attacking-the-Taliban thing.' Hope, who brought USO shows overseas to American troops for more than 50 years, is currently confined to bedrest in his Toluca Lake home, where his wife Dolores and various nurses shield the comedian from the news events of the day. 'Instead of CNN and the nightly news, we've been playing tapes of NBC News broadcasts from 1976,' said Lorraine DiMarco, Hope's day nurse. 'He doesn't seem to notice. In fact, just this morning after the news, he scribbled down a few Jerry Ford gags for his next Christmas special.' In addition to the TV-news blockade, Hope's daily copies of The Los Angeles Times and USA Today have been replaced with old issues of Golf Digest. Hope last performed for American servicemen during the Gulf War in 1991, but the show was cut short when the comedian fell and broke his hip while tap-dancing to a drastically slowed-down version of 'You Light Up My Life.' Though a lack of major U.S. military conflicts over the last 10 years has kept Hope off the performing circuit, sources say he continually updates a list of 'hot new contemporary entertainers' in case world events dictate another trip overseas. Recent additions to the list include Lola Falana, Jamie Farr, Joey Heatherton, Paul Williams, and 'the inimitable Charo.' 'Bob has mentioned several times that he wants to bring along Perry Como and Frank Sinatra on his next tour of Europe,' DiMarco said. 'I don't have the heart to tell him.' In addition to his deteriorating health, Hope's handlers believe his vaudevillian brand of jokes and song-and-dance numbers may not go over well with the young servicemen of today. 'I know Bob means well, and God knows he does love doing it,' said Hope's longtime publicist and friend Timothy Orenstam. 'But I'm not so sure the morale of twentysomething soldiers would be helped by the sight of an incontinent old man shuffling painfully across the stage. These kids want to see rock bands like Limp Bizkit or pretty girls like Pamela Anderson, not a man born in 1903 struggling through an off-key rendition of 'Thanks For The Memories.'' Despite efforts to shield the ailing comedian from current events, Hope has occasionally managed to glean tiny snippets of information. Communicating with low grunts and hand signals, a feeble but feisty Hope issued a press statement earlier this week condemning recent acts of terrorism. 'Ayatollah Khomeini must be brought to justice,' he said. 'Let's bring the Iranian hostages home.' 
3	Study Finds Vitamin C Kills Drug-Resistant Tuberculosisselfnews Post TB is caused by infection with the bacterium M. tuberculosis. In 2011, TB sickened some 8.7 million people and took some 1.4 million lives, according to the World Health Organization. Infections that fail to respond to TB drugs are a growing problem: About 650,000 people worldwide now have multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), 9 percent of whom have extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB).TB is especially acute in low and middle income countries, which account for more than 95 percent of TB-related deaths, according to the World Health Organization. Dr. Jacobs and his colleagues observed that isoniazid-resistant TB bacteria were deficient in a molecule called mycothiol. We hypothesized that TB bacteria that cant make mycothiol might contain more cysteine, an amino acid, said Dr. Jacobs. So, we predicted that if we added isoniazid and cysteine to isoniazid-sensitive M. tuberculosis in culture, the bacteria would develop resistance. Instead, we ended up killing off the culture something totally unexpected. The Einstein team suspected that cysteine was helping to kill TB bacteria by acting as a reducing agent that triggers the production of reactive oxygen species (sometimes called free radicals), which can damage DNA. We predicted that if we added isoniazid and cysteine to isoniazid-sensitive M. tuberculosis in culture, the bacteria would develop resistance. Instead, we ended up killing off the culture something totally unexpected. William Jacobs, Jr., Ph.D. To test this hypothesis, we repeated the experiment using isoniazid and a different reducing agent vitamin C, said Dr. Jacobs. The combination of isoniazid and vitamin C sterilized the M. tuberculosis culture. We were then amazed to discover that vitamin C by itself not only sterilized the drug-susceptible TB, but also sterilized MDR-TB and XDR-TB strains. To justify testing vitamin C in a clinical trial, Dr. Jacobs needed to find the molecular mechanism by which vitamin C exerted its lethal effect. More research produced the answer: Vitamin C induced what is known as a Fenton reaction, causing iron to react with other molecules to create reactive oxygen species that kill the TB bacteria. We dont know whether vitamin C will work in humans, but we now have a rational basis for doing a clinical trial, said Dr. Jacobs. It also helps that we know vitamin C is inexpensive, widely available and very safe to use. At the very least, this work shows us a new mechanism that we can exploit to attack TB. The paper is titled, Mycobacterium tuberculosis is extraordinarily sensitive to killing by a vitamin C-induced Fenton reaction. The other contributors are Catherine Vilcheze, Ph.D., Travis Hartman and Brian Weinrick, Ph.D., all at Einstein. The study was supported by a grant (AI26170) from National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health. The authors declare no conflict of interest.

3	Startup Governments: An Idea Whose Time Has Come?Reason TV 
3	Run For Your Life My Flight From the Modern Medical EstablishmentDylan Charles This rule is applied at colleges, in business, when dealing with legal matters, and in social circles. We are instilled with a connection between success and trust, and as we come of age we have a natural tendency to automatically trust people of stature without first evaluating or understanding their personal merits, or examining them for signs of genuine virtue. What we are not often taught, however, is that all people are fallible, few people are virtuous, and that people in respectable positions of leadership or power are just as likely to be as careless or to have hidden agendas as anyone else. Medical professionals, especially those who diagnose and recommend treatments to patients, are in positions of immense power in our society and are endowed with tremendous trust by people seeking remedy for concerning illnesses and ailments. When I was coming of age and learning how to navigate the sea of life, a handful of critical interactions with highly respectable medical professionals in my community stand out as being pivotal in contributing to the lasting happiness, peace, gratitude and abundant health I enjoy today as a responsible and pharmaceutically non-dependent person. I achieved the cornerstones of genuine health after nearly destroying myself in a reckless society where the dominant paradigm is to overdo things, then seek a quick fix, never prying too deeply into the root causes of what ails us. Chemical Imbalance The term attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder or ADD/ADHD has become a household term, and we have become desensitized to what this actually means in terms of wellness and dependency on the pharmaceutical establishment. Likewise, the terms anxiety, depression, and bi-polar disorder have also become ubiquitous in our lexicon, with little consideration of what effect this has on the quality of our society and the quality of the people in it. We have grown to fully accept that these so-called disorders are a fact of modern life, and so many of us can describe their symptoms without even experiencing them, because, after all, the TV and a massive advertising industry constantly alert us to the details and suggested remedies of these and many other modern maladies. When I was 19, after having completed a decade and a half of compulsory schooling in the public education system, I was talked into pursuing a college degree, with the aim of getting a good job afterward. This was the recommended life path for everyone else it seemed, so I signed up for college and got to work on prerequisites hoping that my career path would reveal itself to me along the way. What I didnt realize at the time was how bored I was and how sick I had become of a life regimented by the school bell and after-school work. In short order I had difficulty maintaining the stamina required to keep up with the homework, and paying attention in lecture after lecture became unbearable. When my grades began to slip, my family grew worried and my professors issued their standard warnings. Not wanting to sell myself short, or my future, and not wanting to disappoint my family and those whod supported me, I began looking for answers. After some time I heard about ADD/ADHD; I read a book on the subject and decided that I fit the description therein: lack of concentration, poor attention span for studying, inability to complete coursework, frustration, and so on. I was optimistic that Id found the source of my problems with school, and I went to see a psychiatrist, who, after 3 visits, several consultations and tests, sat me in his office to confirm my suspicions that, yes, I had ADD/ADHD. Not a severe type, he said, but enough to warrant pharmaceutical intervention. I had, you see, a chemical imbalance, which was nothing to be ashamed of because a certain percentage of people are just born with it. The solution was easy, painless and quickly effective. Ritalin. At that time I knew nothing of Ritalin so I asked him what it was. He told me it was like speed, the stuff that druggies take, but it was pharmaceutical-grade and pure, and that it wouldnt affect me the same way that it affected addicts of the illegal version because my brain chemistry was different. It would only make it possible for me to concentrate and perform well a good thing. I was to take a little at first and over time ramp up the dosage. I asked him how long I needed it. He said for as long as I was studying or working, inferring that it was there to crutch me for life. At first it was a rush and I was indeed full of energy and focus. Studying was much easier, and my situation in school improved dramatically, yet over time the side-effects became apparent. I couldnt ever sleep well, I felt dependent, and most notably it seemed to really change my personality. I became much more quiet and reserved, and felt empty, hollow, as though my spirit or soul had left my body. After 6-8 months I realized I didnt like the new me, so I quit Ritalin, and set my mind on completing school without it. After some years during school I again gave in to the stressful circumstances of working and going to school full time and entered a period of depression, anxiety and dramatic mood swings that I was not able to alleviate on my own. Being familiar with psychiatry I saw a different physician and confided in him the details of my troubles and lifestyle. The diagnosis after a single session was that I had bi-polar disorder. The remedy this time: Klonopin. I took my pills and things seemed to improve, but after time, again, the side-effects became obvious and over-shadowed the original problem. I was dependent on the medication for happiness, and when I took a break from it the original symptoms immediately returned, with a vengeance. Additionally, my personality again changed, to my disliking, and I always felt tired and in a strange dream-like state, as though I was outside of myself and drugged. After sometime I realized this was unsustainable and willed myself to suffer the withdrawals and to move forward without this. Fast forward a bit now. It took a little longer than some people, but I finished college with a degree from a respectable university, and after much effort landed my dream job. For some time in my new career I happily worked 60-80 hours a week spending life in the office as many people do, forgoing my health to advance in my profession. Yet, after some years I developed severe anxiety and depression, so again, in a moment of personal crisis I turned to my doctor for advice. He saw how distraught I was, and in a single visit sent me home with Xanax to take for my anxiety, Valium to help me sleep, and an anti-depressant/anti-schizophrenic medication, Geodon, to take for the long run. He also recommended I immediately see a psychiatrist and he referred me to one of the most respected psychiatrists in our community. I asked my doctor at that time if he thought that getting exercise might help and he flatly said no. It might be nice if I took more walks, he said, but I needed the medications first and foremost if I wanted to improve. The pills immediately helped to sedate me, but 48 hours later I phoned my doctor out of exasperation. The side-effects were already too much. I felt drugged and spaced out, I had chills and uncontrollable shakes, and my brain literally felt like it was turning to mush. To make matters more frightening, a clear liquid was oozing from some of my orifices, gross, and in my alarm I asked him what was happening to me. He told me that the side effects were absolutely normal and that I just needed to follow the regimen, doubling the dosage of the anti-depressant the following week, and making sure not to miss my appointment with the shrink. Over time I would get used to the side-effects, he assured me. So I went to the shrink. He was an important guy in a busy office, and the signs of his prestige were visible on numerous plaques on the walls. I had an hour with him and upon introducing himself I immediately felt uncomfortable, sensing his arrogance and over-confidence. He asked me to describe my situation and I didnt feel at all comfortable sharing the intimate details of my life with him in our first visit. So, the time passed in an awkward sort of ping-pong exchange, where I felt defensive, and insisted of telling him about me, I insisted on knowing more about him. Looking at his office walls, which were covered with Vietnam-era photos, plaques and statuettes of military aircraft, I grew more suspicious of him and asked him how much money he made. Without hesitation, and with great pride, he told me that he made $450,000 a year, had his own Cessna airplane, a fine Mercedes Benz, and owned homes in three States and in Mexico. Somewhat shocked, I pointed to the military regalia on his wall and asked him if fought in Vietnam. Yes, he said, again with great pride, and told me that he was a fighter bomber pilot. Immediately curious I looked him square in the eye and asked him directly, how many people do you think you killed? Without flinching and without breaking our locked-on gaze, he replied, thousands thousands, with a long creepy pause in between the words. His reply reminded me of Marlo Brandos madness in the classic film Apocalypse Now. I gulped and backed off. To close out the appointment, and without me really giving him any great detail about my situation he confidently prescribed me seven different medications to take every single day until we figured out which worked best he said, then I would take those for life. Wellbutrin, Xanax, Valium, a couple of anti-depressants, Strattera and something to help mitigate the side-effects of all this. I cant recall exactly what he gave me, but I did notice that he conveniently had samples of each on hand, so I didnt even need to go directly to the pharmacy. I paid my bill and left the office with a candy bag filled with pills that rattled with each step. How absurd, I thought, wondering who was crazier, he or I. When I got outside I let out a big sigh and composed myself. I felt violated, but, fantastically I also felt liberated somehow. I dropped the bag of pills in the nearest trashcan and never looked back.This visit officially ended my dependence on modern psychiatry. I was 26 years old. Whats Candida? A couple of years later I mysteriously contracted a terrible ear infection, the first Id had since childhood. I went to my physician who prescribed to me, Zithromax, a potent 3-day dosage of antibiotics. I went home and took dose 1, and the next morning woke up with a serious brain fog. The entire day it was as though I was in a cloud, separated from my body, outside of myself, dizzy and confused, tired but restless. Thus began a two-year battle with what I now believe was Candida poisoning. After 6 weeks or so of suffering from ceaseless brain fog, terrible insomnia, persistent dizziness, drowsiness and chronic fatigue I went to my doctor, telling him how it started immediately after taking a single dose of the antibiotic. He checked me out thoroughly, and after finding nothing noticeably wrong referred me to a number of specialists. Over the course of the next 6 months, without any relief, I saw blood doctors and neurologists, had CAT Scans and MRIs, and was even offered a spinal tap. No thanks. I was in great shape, I didnt have diabetes, tumors or cancer, or meningitis, or any rare disease they could find, and so on a follow up with my general practitioner, he revealed his frustration and recommended I try anti-depressants. No thanks, there simply had to be another way I told him, and this was the last time Ive been to see an MD. True Remedies These are just my stories of the pivotal events that have pushed me toward the ultimate discovery of abundant health, wellness, and happiness in life. These stories dont apply to anyone else, although Ive shared these with many people and similar stories are not at all uncommon. After my run-ins with psychiatry I was fortunate to discover Shaolin Kung Fu and I put my heart and soul into regular rigorous practice. Within a month or so all of my psychiatric symptoms were totally gone, and I was happier than Id ever been. Ive been practicing ever since. Following my failed attempts to find relief from my enduring episode with brain fog and chronic fatigue, a friend recommended I see a holistic nutritionist who tested my blood for food allergies. The nutritionist recommended I completely avoid yeast, brewers yeast and walnuts for a period of no less less than three months, which I adhered to stringently. After 3-4 weeks, the symptoms that had troubled me since taking Zithromax all but disappeared, and after 3 months I resumed a normal diet. Thus began my personal journey to understand more about food and the effects it can have on health. The symptoms did persist for another year so; however, in much milder forms as I drank only filtered water, ate in moderation, and cut out certain toxins like MSG, Aspartame and refined sugar. One day I met a teacher of Qi Gong who assured me that this ancient Chinese wellness art would help me to further improve. I saw his excellent acupuncturist and began a dedicated Qi Gong practice which lasted for over 2 years. Within a short time of committing myself to the practice my symptoms of Candida poisoning completely vanished. Conclusion To this day I am grateful for each of these experiences, for without them I would have never have come to be the person I am. I feel that it is too easy for people to take at face value the advice of doctors and physicians who seem to be as prone to carelessness and callousness as anyone else. Todays medical industry encourages this in them, I feel. Learning this for myself was a most valuable lesson, and I no longer hold negative opinions of anyone involved here, as I realize that everyone is different and their system simply was not for me. This story is in no way intended to be medical advice to anyone, and I am fully aware that what doesnt work for some may very well heal others, as we are all unique. Nor is this an indictment of the modern medical establishment, which has its value. Please only consider this to be the story of one mans journey from unhealthiness to healthiness in a time where many natural, simple, chemical-free cures are available, yet largely under-prescribed in by modern healthcare system. My intention here is not to persuade or convince anyone of the efficacy of natural alternatives, but, once again, only to share a single story for anyone who may be in search of true health, wellness, happiness and independence from pharmaceuticals.

2	Merle Haggard Is Forced To Make Huge Decision Because Of His Terrible IllnessI Cant Believe It Merle Haggard has been dealing with extreme illness for the last couple of months. He has fought his doctors advice and tried to perform despite being sick. His stubbornness has made the situation even worse than it should have been. Merle thought performing was more important than his health. He initially came out and only canceled a few shows in February. His doctor urged otherwise. Now Merle has checked himself into a hospital. He finally listened to his doctors who were looking out for him the entire time. Merle is going to need a lot of time to recover from this compounded illness. He is at a very vulnerable age and he needs to look after his health immensely. Merle is one of the greatest country artists of all time and we want to see him perform for many more years. He is right to check himself in for a while. Merles publicist came out and said that all of his shows up to April have been cancelled. The doctors are saying he will need at least a month and a half to make a full recovery. They are hopeful that everything will go smoothly, but the doctors are prepared for what ever is thrown their way. Merle is an awesome man, but he is also very stubborn. His stubbornness could have really killed, but luckily the doctors can help him. Will you send your prayers to help Merle heal?

'Mike wasn't cute at all,' said Wendy Broward following the incident. 'But I thought maybe Aimee would like him. Thank God she was there to keep that dork away from the rest of us.' 
1	Residents of Darfur, IA reached out to the international press today, in an attempt to bring greater attention to the problems suffered by the rural Midwestern town. While Darfur locals readily empathize with the atrocities occurring in the identically named region of Sudan, many believe that short shrift has been given to the unique issues they face as a struggling farm community. 'Sure, there aren't any Janjaweed militiamen tearing through here, raping and murdering women and children, but have you seen the sinkholes on Main Street?' said barber Gerald Pitkin, who later added that a drought the previous summer, while not comparable to taking refuge from murderers in the unforgiving Sahara Desert, had been tough on the local economy. 'How about a little relief for us? This 12 percent unemployment rate isn't going to fix itself, you know.' The Darfur community board recently organized a benefit carnival with the neighboring town of Tibet in an effort to bring more international attention to their terrible groundwater runoff situation. 
2	Every Year A Lone Marine Holds A Salute For All The Fallen Soldiers Of Our Nation This is a true patriot if weve ever seen one. According to reports, US Marine Corps Veteran Staff Sergeant Tim Chambers has made a name for himself as The Saluting Marine. Thats because since 1988, Sgt. Chambers has been standing to honor veterans during the Rolling Thunder/Ride for Freedom that takes place each year in Washington, DC. The event is held annually to raise awareness for the Prisoners of War. Sgt. Chambers shows his unwavering support by standing for hours beside a memorial that he constructs. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do we need more people like Sgt. Chambers in our country? 
1	Citing how devastatingly uncomfortable it makes people feel, a new report released by the Stanford University Sociology Department revealed Wednesday that its never okay to just start talking to someone you dont know. The report, which analyzed numerous conversations that took place over a nine-month period from September of last year through May, states that approaching a complete and total stranger and saying Beautiful day, Thats nice, where did you get that? or Hello is, under no circumstance, acceptable. In fact, the study confirmed that in 0 percent of cases do individuals ever want to be spoken to by someone they dont know, and that it is downright wrong to put people who are just going about their day in the awkward position of having to be polite and feign interest in what youan unknown intruder, essentiallyare saying. We found that the only people its appropriate to talk to are friends and relativesno one else, the studys lead author, Dr. Simon Gamble, told reporters, adding that dads, senior citizens, and people who think theyre being friendly but really need to just mind their own business are typically guilty of trying to relate to unfamiliar people. Ninety-five percent of the time, the people being talked to experience an extreme spike in anxiety. The only thoughts going through their heads during these unwanted conversations with strangers are Stop talking to me. I dont know you. Please go away. Experts say something like this, with two people who know each other, is fine. If you feel the urge to talk to someone you dont know, the right thing to do is suppress the impulse and just leave that individual alone, he continued, adding that cordially smiling at someone youve never met is also not okay. It doesnt matter if you both happen to be wearing the same T-shirt. The report indicates that even in situations in which you might share common circumstances with a strangersuch as when you are both in a long line that doesnt seem to be moving, or are both experiencing hot, cold, nice, or terrible weatherit is unacceptable to verbally acknowledge that reality. The appropriate thing to do, the report notes, is to face forward and keep silent. In addition, just because you are sitting next to someone you dont know on a bus or airplane, that doesnt give you any right to talk to that person, even if he or she is reading a book you once read. The study goes on to state that talking to an unfamiliar person in a setting where the individual essentially cant escape the conversation is one of the cruelest things one human being can do to another human being. Often, the person being talked to will laugh at the others jokes, Gamble said. This is always fake laughter. The study confirmed the following people never want to be spoken to by a stranger: people eating at the same restaurant as you; someone who is wearing a pair of shoes or a hat you like; individuals who are also waiting for the same delayed train; coworkers; a man or woman who is using a laptop you are considering buying for yourself; an individual attending the same sporting event as you; a young person who works at a job you once had years ago; and anyone who has children or pets, especially if you are a person who also has children or pets. If you are an outgoing individual who likes striking up conversations with strangers, you are a source of constant discomfort in this world, and have nothing to offer but anxiety and pain, said Dr. Andrea Malcolm, chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University. People dont care that you once owned the same car or cellular phone as them, or that you loved it. They dont care about your opinion one way or the other. They just want you to stop making their lives a living hell. To them, Malcolm continued, you might as well be a crazy person, because why are you talking to someone you dont even know? According to the report, the people who are living correctly are those who dont want to step outside their comfort zones and relate to others. Your comfort zone is there for a reason, Gamble said. Its so you can stay comfortable. If someone breaches that by saying hello to you, that person is the asshole, not you. Remember that. 
1	Having returned Tuesday after missing 19 games with an ankle injury, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili expressed frustration with his level of play, saying that his ability to draw offensive fouls by flopping to the floor with little or no provocation was still only at 'about 85 percent.' 'The ankle is healthy, but my flailing and splaying still aren't where they need to be,' said Ginobili, who has begun to practice windmilling his arms and falling backward during shoot-arounds. 'I'm used to throwing myself 10, sometimes 12 feet down court. At this point, I'm lucky if I'm getting 8 on a good flop. My wailing is good, but I need to be hitting the floor a lot harder than the guy hit me, if I was hit. I can't catch myself with my hands like I did in the second quarter tonight. That was bush league.' Ginobili then flung himself out of the locker room, slid backward onto a bus, and tumbled wildly into his suburban home. 
3	Who Are The Deniers Now? Record Ice Growth in 2013selfnews Post When did it become wrong to question the official version of climate change? Like the establishment hasnt lied to us in the past. Significant evidence has recently come to light that should make all warmists pause and consider that they may have been duped by banksters champing at the bit to tax the air and control our lifestyles. NASA released a recent image of the Arctic ice cap that shows record ice growth over last year: DailyMail reports that the 60% increase or 920,000 square miles of new ice has forced theUN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was forced to make urgent changes to their annual climate report. Shockingly, some mainstream news sources used this image to claim that the ice caps were melting down to nothing. LiveScience posted the record ice growth image with the headline Shrinking Arctic Ice Will Lead to Ice-Free Summers. Of course it was NASA scientists who told them yes, theres record ice growth but were still seeing a strong downward trend. In 2012, the ice cap over the Arctic Ocean shrank to its lowest extent ever recorded. Measures of sea ice extent take into account the area of the Arctic Ocean on which ice covers at least 15 percent of the surface. This years summer melting season is unlikely to break that record, but that does not necessarily herald good news, said Walt Meier, a glaciologist at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. This is not going to be as extreme a year as last year, but were still seeing a strong downward trend, Meier told LiveScience. Were still at levels that are much lower than average. Now that the official numbers are in and they cant be denied. The Earth has gained 19,000 Manhattans of sea ice since this date last year, the largest increase on record. There is more sea ice now than there was on this date in 2002, according to climatedepot.com. 
3	Constitutional Attorney Talks About FDA Corruptionselfnews Post And as youll see in the video interview below with constitutional attorney, Jonathan Emord, not only does the FDA routinely approve drugs over objections from its own medical reviewers, but the FDA does zero independent medical testing of its own. It is a system built upon conflicts of interest that leaves consumers completely in the dark about the true consequences of taking Big Pharma products. As the newly inflamed vaccine debate rages across America, the fundamental role of the FDA in disseminating false information and flat-out covering up widespread health dangers must be examined more fully. Here are two key articles from natural health author, Catherine J. Frompovich, which add to the information presented in the following video: The following article shows how the propagandized criminal media is in the tank for the Pharma construct. Despite all of the misinformation about the Measles outbreak (the fact that a good portion if not a plurality are vaccinated) and the Measles vaccine (MMR) has killed more than 100 victims since 2005, whereas noone has died from the measles, it gets even more Orwellian. Here are two presstitutes obtaining about the Measles outbreak and their insistence that in certain instances some things require Big Brother: http://tinyurl.com/q5yydgo By Big Brother, did they mean the FDA? Or The CDC? It is the considered opinion of a self professed CONstitutional attorney, that the CONstitution and laws apply to everyone.. Can he prove it?? Everyone has been told that the CONstitution and law automatically apply to everyone. its everyones opinion that it applies, everyone feels it applies, everyone believes it applies, everyone assumes and presumes it applies. HOWEVER; What factual, first hand, irrefutable evidence can anyone offer that proves that their CONstitution and laws apply to the private person simply because they are physically in what we commonly refer to as a state. Keeping in mind that slavery and involuntary servitude is illegal. Further, no private person is a party to their CONstitution nor is any private person a signatory to their CONstitution, nor has any private person sworn an oath to be bound by or to obey the CONstitution and laws. If you attempt to proffer evidence that it does apply to everyone. I would further point out that the only factual parties to the CONstitution are the States and the United States governments. Indoctrination is defined as follows: to teach somebody a belief, doctrine, or ideology thoroughly and systematically, especially with the goal of discouraging independent thought or the acceptance of other opinions. When everyone thinks alike, everyone is likely to be wrong. Everything from A Z is corrupted in the phony baloney US of Everything Is Rigged, Illegal (or pending) Something I have been stating frequently in the vaccine debate, is that people continue using FDA/CDC as a sources to make health decisions, that are corrupt. People are allowing themselves and their children to be lab rats. I saw a comment posted, but have not had time to confirm this: Did you know that the measles shot only covers one strain? Well, what you wont hear from the mainstream is that the CDC ran the genotype of the latest Mickey Mouse Measles strain and lo and behold it is not the one in the MMR vaccine! It is strain B3 and the MMR only contains the A strain. The MMR will not give you any kind of protection for the other strains of measles and only offers limited protection (if any at all) against the type A strain. Can anyone confirm this? Ive seen this a few times now on different sites. This could be true as 21 different strains of the measles virus have been identified according to this website: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/37135.php Check out this 1995 Journal of General Virology article to learn about many strains of measles. [Chart on pg.1174] http://vir.sgmjournals.org/content/76/5/1173.long Found this one: Baby gets measles, confirmed its not the genotype from the Disney outbreak, vaccine reaction instead: http://www.inquisitr.com/1801210/genotype-baltimore-mmr/ Here are the measles genotypes: A*, B2, B3, C1, C2, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, G2, G3, H1, H2. In 2011, 8 genotypes were identified by global surveillance: B2, B3, D4, D8, D9, D11, G3, H1. *Vaccine strains Moraten, Edmonston, Zagreb are all genotype A. The genotype in California is said to B3. However we know they do lie so who really knows. The assumption of the CDC and the vaccine makers is the A genotype will work against or on ALL the genotypes that have been documented. However, if that was the case they would not still be doing clinical trials on the MMR: -Immunogenicity and Safety of GSK Biologicals Combined Measles-mumps-rubella Vaccine in Volunteers, Seven Years of Age and Older. -Immunogenicity and Safety Study of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals Combined Measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) Vaccine in Subjects Four to Six Years of Age. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01621802?term=measlesrecr=Opentype=Intrage=0fund=012rank=2 -Safety and Immunogenicity Study of GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals Measles,Mumps and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine (209762) Compared to Merck Co., Inc.s MMR Vaccine in Healthy Children 12 to 15 Months of Age. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02184572?term=measlesrecr=Opentype=Intrage=0fund=012rank=3 -Study of Immunogenicity, Reactogenicity and Safety of the Combined Measles, Mumps and Rubella Vaccine Produced by Bio-Manguinhos/Fiocruz in Children12-15 Months of Age, Followed by Tetraviral Vaccine in Children 15-18 Months. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01991899?term=measlesrecr=Opentype=Intrage=0fund=012rank=4 -Safety Immunogenicity of MMR Vaccine by DSJI to That by Needle-Syringe in 15-18 Months Old Children. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02253407?term=measlesrecr=Opentype=Intrage=0fund=012rank=6 Science is not settled by a long shot. There is also the matter of the revolving door between the public and private sectors. Does anyone actually believe that pharmaceutical insiders, moved into governmental positions, can be objective in their analysis? I can shit in your water and it will be proven Safe and Effective by the FDA.What I like is when one ad is recalling something and the very next ad the presstitutes are pimping is the very sane drug!! There was a problem with the MMR that was the focus of the NIH Emergency Workshop on SV40 in 1998. The meeting was in Washington. At this there were representatives of all the major US government health organizations and of the vaccine manufacturers. The discussion was was led by Dr. Khan on RT viruses in vaccines. Dr. Khan represented the FDA. Today I would like to present an update on the reverse transcriptase [RT] activity that is present in chicken cell derived vaccines. Dr. Khan was reporting the result of a just concluded two-year investigation into the safety of MMR led by the World Health Organisation. She explained that this was initiated in 1996 after the discovery in MMR of RT; an enzyme whose presence they believed could well indicate that retroviruses had contaminated the vaccine. This had greatly alarmed them as some retroviruses are thought to cause cancers and AIDS. WHO had then quietly, without telling the public, without withdrawing the vaccine, organised MMR safety studies at various laboratories to see whether this RT activity was associated with a retroviral particle, and even more importantly, whether this retrovirus particle could infect and replicate in human cells. What they then discovered confirmed their worse fears. Dr Khan continued: The RT activity is found to be associated with retroviral particles of two distinct avian endogenous retroviral families designated as EAV and ALV. Now ALV stands for Avian Leukosis Virus. It is associated with a leukaemia Khan added that they had also found another possible danger; There was a theoretical possibility that the virus [ALV] could infect the [human] cell thus integrating its genetic code into the human DNA to cause cancer. The only reassurance she could give was that her team had watched vaccine cultures Dr Khan then warned; there is a possibility that there could also be potential pseudotypes (merging between) the measles vaccine virus and the retroviral sequences meaning there was a risk that bird viruses might combine with the measles virus in the vaccine to create dangerous new mutant viruses, They had not seen it, but it could happen. Extract from Chapter 7 of Fear of the Invisible by Janine Roberts Roberts is an award winning investigative journalist who attended high level government vaccine meetings conferences in the US the UK for over a decade. In her books, Fear of the Invisible and The Vaccine Papers she documents the meetings, names sources and provided links to FDA transcripts. Chapters online can be found at: http://reaids.com/fearoftheinvisible (dot) com/introduction-to-the-book.html This exact same scenario is playing out in every aspect of our lives. The corporate vultures who feed on the US public view us as only a meal ticket. Be it big pharma, banks, utilities, taxes, energy, etcetc Looking at what is called government today, I can find NOTHING government dose that is not evil, predatory and parasitic. Domesticating animals thousands of years ago, became the path for every war, learned domination, and abhorrent cruelty humans learned FIRST, from doing it to animals.

3	Amish Family Flees Country to Avoid 10-Year-Olds State-Enforced ChemotherapyMelissa Melton Now that family has taken the girl and fled the country. The parents initially fought the treatments because they were making their little girl, Sarah Hershberger, severely ill, but the hospital decided to take the parents to court over their decision to look for natural cancer cures outside the Big Pharma model. Even though a juvenile judge twice ruled to uphold the parents rights, Akron Childrens Hospital took the case to an appeals court which overturned the previous rulings. The parents have said they are more concerned that Sarah will suffer more from the chemos horrible side effects than if she died being treated with natural remedies. Weve seen how sick it makes her, Andy Hershberger, Sarahs father, told ABC News in August. Our belief is the natural stuff will do just as much as that stuff if its Gods will. [] If we do chemotherapy and she would happen to die, she would probably suffer more than if we would do it this way and she would happen to die, he said. (source) The court ruled that an attorney whos also a registered nurse should be granted limited guardianship over the girl, Sarah Hershberger, and the power to make medical decisions for her. [] The beliefs and convictions of the parents cant outweigh the rights of the state to protect the child, the court said. It also ordered that the guardian should be appointed right away. (source) According to ABC News, the hospital has not commented on whether or not it will seek further legal action, and there is no official law enforcement search underway for the family at this time. The Hershbergers have said they do not plan to return to the country any time soon. The Hershbergers also say Sarahs condition has improved since they switched to alternative medicine.

1	Frances Buntz, 79, continues to work diligently as a file clerk at Kansas State Insurance and save any extra money she can, Buntz said Monday. 'When my husband had a stroke eight years ago, all of our savings went to bills,' said Buntz, momentarily resting her weight on her cane. 'Since then, I've been trying to build up a little nest egg.' Buntz said she hopes to someday invest in a nice little place to settle down, or some medicine. 
1	After a focus group determined 'In God We Trust' to be 'boring,' the U.S. introduced a new motto Monday: 'America... We're Gonna Make Ya Smile.' 'We feel the new motto projects a more playful image for the nation,' State Department spokesman Marlon Harris said. 'This new slogan tells the world that America Is Fun Country.' Harris added that 'E Pluribus Unum' will be replaced on all currency with 'U.S. FeverCatch It!' 
2	BREAKING: Devastating Virus Spreading Like Wildfire Across America [SEE SYMPTOMS] According to recent reports, the Obama Administration has asked Congress for $1.9 billion in emergency funds to help combat the Zika virus. The virus, which can be spread through mosquitoes and sexual intercourse, has now spread to 30 States in America. It appears to be moving northward. That is extraordinarily scary, given that the virus has been linked to very serious birth defects after a pregnant woman is infected. This is a very unusual virus that we cant pretend to know everything about it that we need to know, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases commented. While some of the funds Obama is demanding would go to Puerto Rico, where cases of Zika are doubling each week, some would no doubt be used to combat the virus in the United States. Knowing Obama, our country is probably just an afterthought in his plan. As usual, Obamas intentions do not appear to be entirely pure. House Republicans are accusing him of playing politics to get his way. They have proposed that existing Ebola funds be used to combat the virus before additional funds are approved and released. What do you think of Obamas proposal?

2	What Obama Just Said About Those Who Slander The Prophet Of Islam The world has taken a stand against Islamic terrorism following the massacre at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Given the gravity of the terrorist attack, and the international participation of world leaders supporting a new movement, President Barack Obamas statement about the incident was rather unenthusiastic. In fact, he made no references to the freedom of speech. Of course, we cannot forget Obamas 2012 speech in front of the United States where he said: The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam. The statement was caught on video, and unfortunately for the president, he cannot take them back. But even if we didnt blatantly hear the words spoken, Obama has shown where he stands time and time again, through his support of the Muslim Brotherhood, and through the release of Islamic militants.

3	Report: Americas Supply Chain Is In Shutdown - Could Derail The Economy CompletelyMac Slavo The ports are now being partially shut down for at least the next four days, but the months-long dispute has already led to hundreds of container ships and tractor-trailers being left in limbo (see pictures below). Though the strike has been off the radar for most, analysts suggest that the dispute is so severe that it could lead to widespread shortages of imported goods and mass layoffs in periphery industries, especially retail chains which will have limited amounts of goods to sell until a resolution is found. The Retail Industry Leaders Associationwho, realizing that failure to reach an agreement between the dockworker union and their bosses, the Pacific Maritime Association representing port management would lead to devastating consequences for the US retail industry, had several very damning soundbites: And the punchline: The slowdown is already making life difficult,but a shutdown could derail the economy completely. Full analysis The situation, according to the Retail Industry Leaders Association, is dire: A work slowdown during contract negotiations over the past seven months has already created logistic nightmares for American exporters, manufacturers and retailers dependent on an efficient supply chain.A complete shutdown would be catastrophic, with hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk if Americas supply chain grinds to a halt. The shutdown is a sight to behold. Hundreds of transport ships with thousands of containers of cargo are not being allowed into ports to unload their goods. Cargoes from around the world are backed up as evidenced by the followingaerial photos from Mike Kelley: It was one of the most exciting experiences Ive had doing aerial photography being that far out at sea, with the huge swells underneath you, and these massive, massive container ships everywhere was like living a scene out of Walter Mittys life. Were written before about what life will look like in the event of a transportation shutdown in Just In Time: When The Trucks Stop, America Stops. As we noted then, a transportation shutdown can lead to nearly immediate and catastrophic consequences. It appears that this is what is happening now and the effects on a consumer-based economy could be devastating across the board. Weve often recommended to readers that they stock up on emergency supplies simply because sometimes unplanned events happen. The current port shutdown is a limited event, but given that even this could lead to serious economic problems and job losses, its not a stretch of the imagination to suggest that in a real emergency the shutdown of transportation systems on a national level would lead to a total breakdown and panic within days, perhaps even a few hours. The reality is that 99% of Americans are not prepared for a sustained shutdown of transportation systems and supply lines. There would be no food or gas to be had. As The Preppers Blueprint author Tess Pennington highlights in Anatomy of a Breakdown, once peaceful streets and neighborhoods would quickly be besieged by looters looking for resources. When the needs of the population cannot be met in an allotted time frame, a phenomena occurs and the mindset shifts in people. They begin to act without thinking and respond to changes in their environment in an emotionally-based manner, thus leading to chaos, instability and a breakdown in our social paradigm. It is for these unforeseen circumstances that we urge Americans to prepare for the worst. The last thing you want to be doing is looking for food and other essential supplies after a supply shutdown has occurred.

2	BREAKING: Trump Announces BOMBSHELL Move To Obliterate Entire U.S. Debt The debt that the United States is in has been a concern for Americans for years now, and many are demanding that something finally be done about it. Donald Trump has been at the forefront of this conversation, and the plan he has on the table for eliminating date is controversial to say the least. In an interview with The Washington Post on Thursday, Trump argued that the economy is so bad that the country is headed for a very massive recession. He went on to argue that if he were made president, he would eliminate the nations more than $19 trillion debt over a period of eight years. This would require the renegotiating of all of our deals he claims. Economic analysts have been quick to call this impossible, arguing that it would take more than $2 trillion a year out of the countrys annual $4 trillion budget to pay off the debt. Im renegotiating all of our deals, the big trade deals that were doing so badly on, Trump maintained. With China, $505 billion this year in trade. Trump also claims that in his first 100 days in office, he would cut taxes and make changes to our trade and military deals. That would include changing Americas role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. What do you think of Trumps proposal?

1	A new study published Friday by scientists at the University of Pennsylvania found that under certain conditions, even the most primitive of shoppers possessed the ability to purchase simple tools from their local hardware stores. Our research indicated that while these customers lacked a highly developed prefrontal cortex, they could nonetheless use money to acquire basic tools and transport these items back to their places of dwelling, said evolutionary biologist Sheila Simmonds, who co-authored the study. This is a startling discovery, as we previously believed they lacked this capacity entirely. We even found evidence suggesting that some lower-order shoppers had a rudimentary ability to fumble in their pockets and try a different credit card if their first one was denied. Simmons suggested that a future study might look at whether primitive customers had the verbal skills necessary to ask for the tool they wanted, or were forced to simply point and stare at it with their mouth open until someone helped them. 
2	States Ban Together To Defy Obamas Unlawful Clean Power Plan, Keeping Costs Low And Saving Jobs The Supreme Court Rules 5-4 against the Clean Power Plan that would raise energy costs and take away jobs from Americans. This will only stall the implementation. The court will have a chance to rule on the constitutionality later down the road. As a country, we should focus on ways to make electricity more affordable, not on implementing regulations that will raise energy costs, which hit the poor and middle class the hardest, said Thomas Pyle of the American Energy Alliance. States are taking the Stop Work action that basically tells the EPA that they will not comply with their plans. 29 states are suing the federal government for the Clean Power Plan, as it is unlawful and hopefully will be decided so in the next court ruling. The [CPP] illegally forces states to overhaul their energy portfolio and does so without congressional authority, costing countless jobs, increasing electricity prices and jeopardizing energy reliability, said Patrick Morrisey, the West Virginia attorney general taking lead against the bill. Do you think the Clean Power Plan should be revoked? 
3	UK Government to Allow British Spies to Legally Hack into Everyones PhonesBy Michaela Whitton Own a smartphone? Ever buy things online? Use social networks? Chances are that your data has passed through U.K. Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) surveillance programmes particularly if you are a foreign national. According to the Independent, spy agencies will be able to take over a phone remotely and install software that has the ability to examine your data at any time. Rushed through Parliament in July 2014, the new bill enables the Home Secretary to order communication companies to retain emails, calls, texts, and web activity of everyone in the U.K. for 12 months. Similar powers could also be used to target other databases, such as medical, travel, and financial records including the records of those whose communications are deemed confidential, such as doctors, lawyers, journalists, and MPs. The forthcoming bill comes as no surprise to activists who have long condemned the British governments mass surveillance techniques exposed by Edward Snowden. Privacy International has taken British spy agencies to court over bulk data-harvesting. Earlier this year, Deputy Director Eric King, said: Secretly ordering companies to hand over their records in bulk, to be data-mined at will, without independent sign off or oversight, is a loophole in the law the size of a double-decker bus. He added, Bulk collection of data about millions of people who have no ties to terrorism, nor suspected of any crime is plainly wrong. That our government admits most of those in the databases are unlikely to be of intelligence value but that the practice has been allowed to continue, shows just how off course we really are. During a recent interview with Amnesty International, whistleblower Edward Snowden was asked what he would say to those who say they have nothing to hide and mass surveillance doesnt matter: Its not about having nothing to hide, its about being you. Its about being friends with who you want to be friends with, without worrying about what it looks like on paper or inside some private record in some dark government vault,he said. Its about realising theres a reason we close the bathroom door. Theres a reason we dont want the police to have a video camera where they can watch us while were sitting in the bubble bath. Theres a reason everybody gets so concerned about the Samsung TV thats recording what you say in your living room, and then sending it to third parties. This is what youre going to get. Youre not going to watch TV any more. TV is going to watch you. Asked if he had any regrets, he said he had one that he should have come forward sooner. Had I done so, I think we would have a much greater degree of liberty in our online lives. Because the biggest challenge we face in reforming these surveillance programs is that, once the money has been spent, and once the practices have been institutionalized in secret, without the public knowing, its very difficult to change them, he said.

2	Liberal Website Accidentally Reveals Obamas True Birthplace In a recent article released by Yahoo! News, it was noted that on his trip to Africa, President Obama would not be stopping at the country of his birth. Although the publication eventually changed the story, pictures of the news article had already begun to circulate the internet. False allegations or not, the President is yet to provide documentation that prove the claims wrong. His lack of action begs the question of why he is being so silent. Also, if Obama has nothing to hide, why did he provide an altered birth certificate? What do you think? Was President Obama born in the United States? 
2	FBI Catches 48 ISIS Terrorists Using THIS Elite Surveillance Technology The FBI have been using elite surveillance to track over 1000 suspects in America. Most of these people are Muslims. They have found 48 suspects that they have determined are connected with ISIS. They have multiple FBI agents and cars on each suspect, 24/7, waiting for them to slip up to make the arrest. This is taking an enormous amount of man power and resources, but it is well worth it in the fight against ISIS. With Obamas plan to accept 10,000 Syrian Refugees in the next two years, our costs for surveillance will increase 10 fold. Should the FBI continue to expend Americas resources on tracking these individuals? 
2	200 Generals And Admirals Take MASSIVE Stand Against Obama In The Most Epic Way Possible According to recent reports, a group of nearly 200 retired generals and admirals just submitted a letter to Congress pleading with them to reject President Barack Obamas nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The agreement will enable Iran to become far more dangerous, render the Mideast still more unstable, and introduce new threats to American interests as well as our allies, the letter concluded. It was written in response to 36 retired generals who wrote their own letter of support to Congress. What I dont like about this is the number one leading radical Islamic group in the world is the Iranians, Thomas McInerney told reporters. They are purveyors of radical Islam throughout the region and throughout the world. And we are going to enable them to get nuclear weapons. Why would we do that? McInerneys question is one many Americans have, and it remains unanswered to this day. What do you think? Do you applaud these retired generals? 
1	The makers of Laffy Taffy, a chewy fruit-flavored candy known for the lighthearted jokes printed on each wrapper, announced Tuesday they would pay tribute to the victims of 9/11 by sponsoring every single cobblestone at the World Trade Center memorial. 'No one can ever forget the events of that tragic day, and Laffy Taffy is proud to honor the families of our fallen heroes,' a company spokesperson said at a press conference held near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan. 'When we chisel the words 'Laffy Taffy' into each eternal stone on this sacred ground, we will show the citizens of our great, enduring nation that despite any calamity, they can always count on Laffy Taffy.' Company sources also confirmed that victims of the famine in Somalia had received more than 10,000 pounds of Laffy Taffy. 
2	Obama Admin Deports Christian Family For This SICKENING Reason The story of Uwe and Hannelore Romeike is one of political asylum. The pair fled Germany because of religious persecution in 2008. Their one goal? To raise and homeschool their children in accordance with their Christian beliefs. According to a recent article from Todd Starnes at Fox Opinion, the Romeike family was initially given asylum, but that was eventually revoked by the Obama administration. Starnes claims that German laws outlawing homeschooling do not constitute persecution. Keep in mind that this family was facing fines and threats for refusing to send their children to a state-approved schoola requirement in Germany. If they failed to do so, they would lose custody of their children. To add insult to injury, the Supreme Court refused to hear the Romeikes appeal. The Obama administrations attitude toward religious freedom, particularly religious freedom for Christians, is shocking, Michael Farris of the Home School Legal Defense Association told reporters. I have little doubt that if this family had been of some other faith that the decision would have never been appealed in the first place. Farris concluded that religious bias in the Obama administration is palpable. What do you think? Do you agree with Farris? Is there a war on Christians in this country? 
1	To fully prepare for the upcoming party at his buddy Tim's place Saturday, 24-year-old Jeremy Reed confirmed that he has spent the past week conducting comprehensive research on the history of parties. Reed, who last Thursday received an e-mail from host Tim Helbling inviting him to the 'huge bash,' said he immediately went online to read more about the historical origins of parties and the significant role they have played in both ancient and modern civilizations. 'I was so stoked after Tim's invite that I figured I'd dig a little deeper into the nature of parties not only as a social phenomenon but as an aesthetic tradition throughout the ages,' Reed said of the upcoming gathering of roughly 15 people at his friend's apartment. 'How does society define a party? Where do parties come from? How have they evolved from era to era, and from culture to culture?' Added Reed, 'These are the questions I hope to answer before I get fucked up on Natty Ice at Tim's this Saturday.' In addition to signing up for a LexisNexis account, Reed has expanded his investigation with visits to the Boise Public Library, where he has reportedly already checked out a half dozen books on ritual intoxication, pagan celebrations of the vernal equinox, and the Beautiful Feast of the Opet, as well as a number of secondary texts related to human socialization and the contemporary role of marijuana. Library sources said Reed regularly spends three to four hours poring over reference volumes, making photocopies, and highlighting pertinent texts before placing everything into a large accordion file labeled 'Parties.' 'I was fascinated to learn that the ancient Egyptian high priests would celebrate the god Amun by adorning fine linens and magnificent jewelry,' said Reed, who plans on showing up to Tim's place around 10 p.m. wearing a button-up shirt from Banana Republic. 'Which, of course, contrasts greatly with a feudal society such as medieval England, where parties contained many secular elements, including the gifting of beer or ale to lords as payment for rent.' Added Reed, 'I doubt such an exchange will take place between Tim and his landlord, of course, but the concept is interesting nonetheless.' Using colored note cards, Reed created a chart of the most prominent party themes throughout time. He also contacted anthropologist William Anderson at the University of Maryland after reading the professor's essay on the importance of costumes in human celebration. 'Dr. Anderson is clearly the foremost expert in what modern partygoers would call 'theme parties,' so I called him up,' Reed said. 'We spoke at length about how concealing one's identity at masquerade balls transformed the way guests interact and, indeed, transformed the ways in which people of a certain class and era defined their sense of self.' 'Anyway, I forwarded Dr. Anderson the invite, so hopefully he'll come,' Reed added. Reed also stayed up all night reading Plato's Symposium, the philosophical text about male-only drinking parties, which he concluded must have been the ancient equivalent of 'a sausage fest.' He said he was optimistic Tim's get- together would have a jovial atmosphere, beverage consumption, and conversations with women. 'The Greeks enjoyed discussing many subjects and issues at the symposium, and I, too, plan to have a variety of topics to talk about,' said Reed, adding that it was a shame the party was on Saturday, as there is a lecture on fin de sicle celebrations at Boise State University's Keener Hall that same night. 'I'll admit I might not be able to party quite like the Byzantines did, but if I'm feeling uncomfortable I can always attempt to change the subject.' Added Reed, 'Which, incidentally, is something people first started doing at parties in France during the early 1930s.' 
2	Ford Says The Moved A Plant To Mexico To Manufacture 500k Cars During Donald Trumps presidential campaign, he has been extraordinarily blunt in his claims that millions of American jobs are being lost to overseas industries because the cost of doing business in America is often too expensive. This is a problem that the legendary businessman has promised to remedyand liberals dont like it at all. According to the announcement, Ford planned to build a new assembly plant in Mexico in order to produce a half-million more vehicles in Mexico than it currently does. Last year alone, Fords Mexican output was 433,000or 14% of its total production in North America. The deal has not yet been publicly confirmed, and one Ford spokesperson refused to comment on speculation. What we do know for sure is that Mexico has proven to be a competitor when it comes to the manufacture of vehicles, with low wages, improved logistics and an arsenal of free-trade deals as the Wall Street Journal pointed out. If the rumors are confirmed, Ford will join BMW, General Motors, Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda, and Kia in the move to Mexico. Over the next year, the shift is expected to increase, given that the United Auto Workers (UAW) labor union just struck a deal to increase wages for U.S. factory workers. There is no reason mathematically to go ahead and run to countries like Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, UAW President Dennis Williams argued in defense of his workers and the new deal. What do you think? Do we need someone like Trump who is not afraid to tackle this problem? 
2	BREAKING: Clinton Aide Comes Forward With Enough Evidence To Put Hillary Away For Good According to reports, the Clinton aide who destroyed Hillary Clintons old cell phones with a hammer testified before the House Oversight Committee Tuesday morning. Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano has since said Justin Coopers testimony was the most informative the committee has heard yet. He was an employee of the Clinton family and of the Clinton Foundation, and he had complete and total access to the Clinton emails, and he had no security clearance, Judge Napolitano commented on Varney Co. today, adding that Cooper did not reveal who told him to destroy the cell phones. Cooper did testify that he extracted all the information from the devices before smashing them to bits. Wheres that information now? Stuart Varney asked. You might actually have been a fairly good cross-examiner in your day, Judge Napolitano joked, before commenting that the question may never be answered. What do you think of this new revelation?

1	An alarming new study published in the International Journal of Sexual Health reveals that casual sex, the practice of engaging in frequent, spontaneous sexual encounters with new and exciting partners, may only provide unimaginable pleasure and heart-pounding exhilaration for, at most, 25 to 30 years. 'People who choose to participate in random, no-strings-attached lovemaking sessions with sexually adventurous strangers should be advised that this type of behavior is only incredibly liberating for the first quarter-century or so,' said Dr. Loren Sullivan of Yale University, who coauthored the study on the long-term side effects of living out one's wildest fantasies on a semi-weekly basis. 'Though sometimes it can be longer.' This couple may be having fun now, but there could be cause for regret a quarter-lifetime later, researchers say. The study observed 100 sexually active volunteers who were not tied down by dull, passionless relationships and were therefore able to have sex with whomever they wanted, whenever they wanted. A control group of individuals who were married or had otherwise allowed their erogenous zones to fall into complete and utter numbness was also monitored for comparison. Researchers found that those who regularly achieved mind-blowing orgasms without the expectation of commitment often experienced mild feelings of loneliness and a passing regret after as little as three decades of pure physical bliss free of emotional complication. 'There's a troubling number of adults who spend their prime sexual years in complete coital abandon, then have nothing to show for it but dozens upon dozens of highly detailed erotic memories,' Sullivan said. 'They must be so empty inside, one would think.' Other common, albeit latent, secondary effects noted in the study include mild disappointment and mid-afternoon crankiness, as well as a lingering need for additional casual sex. Researchers could not conclusively establish a link between anonymous, passionate trysts in nightclub bathrooms and these results, however, as a large portion of the polling group was found to be asymptomatic. One participant, California native Greg Pertzborn, told researchers he sometimes wonders if the 30 years he spent beneath a different gorgeous woman every night were worth the periodic flickers of gloominess he began experiencing at the age of 59. 'When I think back on the countless times I've had raw, almost bestial sex, indoors or outdoors, with one, sometimes two Asian women whose parents I'll never have to meet, I occasionally get a little down,' Pertzborn said. 'God, what if I wasted my life having guilt-free, uninhibited, sensually explosive sex with anyone I wanted?' Sullivan and his team plan to continue the study, saying they expect to find that the unattached, sexually satisfied persons between the ages of 20 and 30 whom they have been monitoring will feel compelled to settle down with a single partner and begin discussing joint checking accounts 'any day now.' 'Tragically, it's quite possible that many of these singles may never realize how miserable a lifetime of phenomenal, kinky sex can make them,' said Sullivan, adding that recent evidence suggests such a healthy, rational realization could be further hindered by the experience of spontaneous oral sex behind the bushes at poolside cocktail parties. Although the study has not yet caused any perceptible reduction in the popularity of having casual sex, proponents of the report, like husband and father-of-four Howard Kehoe, say it provides proof that promiscuity is not 'the endless carnal thrill-ride' it is often made out to be. 'I am so thankful that I never acted on my natural impulses and engaged in a sweaty, toe-curling, life-affirming romp with that knockout I saw in the park last week,' Kehoe said. 'I may die having only caressed the naked, goose-pimpled flesh of two women on the entire planet, including my wife, but at least I know I'll never have to endure a burst of fleeting regret long after I've retired.' 'That's one sensation I never want to experience,' Kehoe added. 
3	How to Prepare for a Cyber AttackBy Daisy Luther This isnt the first possible cyber attack on the United States this year. Heck, its not even the first one this summer. On June 5, Reuters reported a breach occurred that compromised the personal information of millions of federal employees, both current and former. This breach was traced back to a foreign entity or government. Regardless of the origin of the so-called computer glitches that shut down Wall Street and a major airline,the events of Wednesday gave usjust a tiny glimpse at how serious a cyber attack could be. What exactly is a cyber attack? A cyber attack is more than just shutting down the computer systems of a specified entity. It is defined as deliberate exploitation of computer systems, technology-dependent enterprises and networks. Cyberattacks use malicious code to alter computer code, logic or data, resulting in disruptive consequences that can compromise data and lead to cybercrimes, such as information and identity theft. Technopedia lists the following consequences ofa cyber attack: Cyber attacks happen far more frequently than you might think. Check out this real-time map for a look at the almost constant siege. How does a cyber attack affect you? You may think that if you dont spend your day working online, that an attack on our computer infrastructure isnt that big of a deal. You may feel like it wouldnt affect you at all. Unfortunately, there are very few people in the country that would remain completely unaffected in the event of a major cyber attack. Our economy, our utility grids, and our transportation systems are all heavily reliant upon computers. This makes us very vulnerable to such an attack. And by vulnerable, I mean that if it was done on a big enough scale, it could essentially paralyze the entire country. Here are some of the systems that are reliant on computers. In the event of a widespread cyber attack, the following could be either completely inoperable or breached: Heres a video from NATO that explains a little bit more about the dangers of cyber attacks. Prepping to survive a cyber attack Prepping for a cyber attack is not that different from prepping for other types of disasters that affect the grid. You want to be able to operate independently of public utilities, stores, or public transportation. Click each item to learn more details. What do you think? So, lets hear from the hive mind of the preparedness community. How likely do you think it is that well be hit by a massive cyber attack? Was the event on Wednesday just a coincidence or some kind of test run? What other effects do you think a massive cyber attack might have? Do you have any additional preparedness tips for such an event? Share your thoughtsin the comments section below. Daisy Luther lives in a small village in the Pacific Northwestern area of the United States. She is the author ofThe Organic Canner,The Pantry Primer: A Preppers Guide to Whole Food on a Half-Price Budget, and the soon-to-be-released The Preppers Water Survival Guide: Harvest, Treat, and Store Your Most Vital Resource.On her website, The Organic Prepper, where this article first appeared, Daisy uses her background in alternative journalism to provide aunique perspective on health and preparedness, and offers a path of rational anarchy against a system that will leave us broke, unhealthy, and enslaved if we comply. Daisys articles are widely republished throughout alternative media.You can follow her on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter,. outdated electric grids in this nation have left us vulnerable as Ive been informed, right or wrong?that when the electricity flicker( power surges/)or goes out that at that moment the hacking can occur as ones systems are the most vulnerable. Even good power surge strips have not prevented the modem box from going out. and malware came through it our IP provider said. The electric smart meters do not use broadband but radio frequencies and thought that was the issue when even the It provider thought it was broad band too and frequency too close or using the same one? But in our area we have twice the households and still only one electrical company transformer as we did 17 years ago, for our community. So I asked OG@E if we could put a super power surge strip before it got to the smart meter and they did not take the suggestion well. OF COURSE I WANTED THEM TO PAY FOR IT. AS IT WOULD GO ON THEIR ELECTRIC POLE.

3	H7N9 is Rapidly Mutating: Pandemic Potential Increased Due to Viral FitnessChris Carrington Almost universally, flu viruses become less virulent when they become drug resistant. In becoming drug resistant, their ability to replicate and its effectiveness is usually considerably reduced. This is not the case with H7N9. Patients suffering with H7N9 have been treated with Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and the virus has shown it is resistant in several patients. Normally this would improve the prognosis for the patient, but it hasnt. Patients have still suffered a long duration of illness and poor clinical outcomes generally, with some patients still dying from the disease. Nicole Bouvier M.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine, Infectious Diseases at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai said: In this outbreak, we saw some differences in the behavior of H7N9 and other avian influenza strains that can infect humans, beginning with the rapid development of antiviral resistance in some people who were treated with oseltamivir and the persistence of high viral loads in those patients. But surprisingly, transmission of the drug-resistant virus was no less efficient than that of the drug-sensitive version. Many of the people infected with H7N9 during the outbreak in China were elderly or had other conditions that predisposed them to severe influenza illness, observed Dr. Bouvier. Nevertheless, our study suggests that flu viruses can indeed develop drug-resistant mutations without suffering a penalty in terms of their own fitness. (source) The fact that the virus does not weaken once it develops resistance has caused grave concern amongst scientists. The speed and virulence with which H7N9 strikes have had doctors worried since the disease first surfaced in China just a few months ago. Although the disease has been proven to pass from person to person it does not, at this point, do so easily. Scientists are concerned that should H7N9 infect a person who is suffering from seasonal, easily transmissible flu, that genetic reassortment will take place allowing the H7N9 virus to be easily passed from person to person. With H7N9 developing drug resistance so fast, and with that drug resistance not altering the fitness of the virus, the race is on to find something that will reduce its virulence. The World Health Organization has so far recorded 139 cases and 45 deaths from H7N9, a fatality rate of almost 33%. If H7N9 does make the leap and become routinely transmissible, a pandemic would result in millions of deaths worldwide. Based on 1918 1920 where a full fifth of the worlds population was infected, a pandemic of H7N9 would see 1,400,000,000 (1 billion 400 million) infections. If 33% of those people died we would be looking at a worldwide death toll of 462 million, 142 million more than the entire population of the United States. All flu viruses mutate. Eventually the reassortment takes place that enables them to move rapidly through the population. It really isnt a matter of if, its a matter of when. Lets hope the scientists, doctors and researchers find the answer to the H7N9 problem before the virus makes that inevitable leap.

1	Even in the air-conditioned confines of New York's John F. Kennedy Airport back on June 14, Abu Basir Yousef was sweating. Terrorist Yousef waits in vain for his dirty bomb. His sole piece of luggagea black duffel bagwas lost upon his arrival in New York. Despite hours of waiting, and several U.S. Airways check-in counter workers and Transportation Security Administration screeners joining in the search, the Yemen-born 32-year-old had yet to hear any positive updates. Finally, a baggage claim representative approached him. 'Afraid I've got some bad news,' the worker said to Yousef. Airline personnel had searched the plane, the tarmac, and the gate, but were still unable to locate his bag containing his homemade dirty bomb. 'My trip was ruined,' Yousef said. 'But Allah will right this wrong.' Most Americans have grown accustomed to inconvenience in the name of security, be it color-coded anxieties or metal detectors at public libraries. But al-Qaeda member Yousef lived a nightmare scenario that would cause even the most frequent of flyers to shudder. After a cramped, twice-delayed U.S. Airways flight that he said would be 'the last of my life,' Yousef sat and stared for hours at an empty, rotating baggage carousel at JFK, searching in vain for his expensive and fragile cargo, unaware that it was currently being routed and re-routed around the country. Over the next three days, it would arrive at virtually every major domestic destinationexcept for its intended one, New Yorkand eventually wind up among the Father's Day gifts and matching bags in Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. According to U.S. Airways, the luggage lingered in St. Louis after an unscheduled side trip to Dallas, a short stint in Charlotte, NC and even a surprise UPS delivery to a suburban home in Michigan. When informed that somebody had mistakenly taken his luggage home, opened it, and called the airline, who returned ittwo days laterto Detroit's Metro Airport, Yousef could only shake his head. 'The U.S. truly is the Great Satan,' he said. His case is but one among thousands. In a busy summer season with multiple new security regulations, baggage blunders like this leave travelers like Yousef with no choice but to shrug and laugh at their all-too-common horror stories. But the sheer number of unintentional side-trips taken by this particular radioactive weapon forced U.S. Airways' Vice President For Consumer Affairs Bryce Fox to admit that 'baggage mishandling history' may have been made. 'We sincerely apologize to Mr. Yousef for sending his explosive device to St. Louiseventually,' Fox said, chuckling. 'Had we paid a little more attention, we would have definitely known St. Louis was not this bomb's final destination. At least we can say that it was not damaged, or really even touched, by TSA staff.' By the 22nd, over a week since Yousef discovered his bomb was missing, the duffel bag finally reached JFK. Yet even an attempt to contact him at his Bronx home about its arrival proved a comedy of errors. A mispronunciation of Yousef's name in the baggage claim office resulted in the bag being returned to another traveler in the airport that dayair marshal Abe Joseph. 'I took one look inside and realized that somebody was probably pretty upset to be missing such a complicated piece of equipment,' Joseph said. 'I brought it to security, and they held me up for more than an hour with the thing, and when they finally passed it through, what did they do? They dropped it. Twice.' Added Joseph: 'Welcome to New York.' It's hard to believe that one innocent-looking, dirty-bomb-holding black duffel bag could wreak so much havoc, an irony not lost on Yousef. 'These infidels must die,' he said. U.S. Airways spokeswoman Deborah Shier once again apologized to Yousef and said that the airline had returned his bag via private courier back to his Bronx apartment on Thursday. 'We sincerely appreciate his business, and hope he will consider U.S. Airways for future flights,' Shier said. 'I can assure him those flights will most likely go a lot smoother.' Yousef may have his luggage back safe, but nevertheless refuses to do business again with U.S. Airways, saying that he has 'another important mission' to attend to on the West Coastone where his bomb will, no doubt, be better treated.

2	BREAKING: FBI Arrests Four People In Obama Assassination Attempt [VIDEO] According to recent reports, the FBI arrested four men in Denver, CO after discovering that they were plotting to assassinate President Obama in 2008. The LA Times reports that the incident began when police pulled over Tharin Gartrell, 28, in a drunk driving accident. Following the accident, they searched the van, where they found two high-powered scoped rifles, ammunition, sighting scopes, radios, a bulletproof vest, wigs, drugs and fake IDs. Caught red handed, Gartrell told the officers that the weapons belonged to 32-year-old Nathan Johnson, and his girlfriend Natasha Gromack, 33. He also mentioned 33-year-old Shawn Adolph, who was known for wearing a swastika ring. Adolph was injured as he jumped from a hotel window attempting to flee the secret service. When the group was brought in for questioning, they admitted that they had planned to kill Obama while he delivered a speech to a stadium of 70,000 Americans. Given the charges against them, the sentences the four received were relatively mild. Gartrell, Johnson, and Adolph received prison sentences solely for drug charges. Gartrell was also sentence to 15 days in prison and six months in a halfway house. Watch the original report below, and tell us what you think of the incident. 
2	FOX News Anchor Annihilates Al Sharpton To His Face Recently, Fox News Jesse Watters confronted race-baiter and scam artist Al Sharpton this week over the comments he made about offing pigs. Would you like to apologize for that? Watters asked Sharpton recently at his National Action Network convention. You dont have footage saying that, Sharpton shot back. You had me where I said that a guy was talking about offing pigs and I said, you aint gonna do nothing, and I mocked him. You said, if youre gonna talk about it, do it, Watters continued. Sharpton didnt quite know how to respond to that, so he tried to redirect by accusing Watters of trying to defraud his listeners. Facts are facts, Watter countered, revealing a transcript of the comments. And you cant argue with that. 
1	I saw the band that Mark Shepard is in called Deadly Chemistry play songs at a bar on Saturday night. He asked me to write a review of them to post on my blog so I'm going to do it. First of all Mark tricked me. I told him I was too busy to go to his show when he asked me to go on Tuesday and then I completely forgot about it. He didn't mention it again and then on Saturday night he called me and told me they were opening up a new indoor water park in town and asked if I wanted to go and I said of course. He thought I was lying about being busy, but I was not, I had plans that I cancelled to go to the indoor water park although I do not want to tell what those plans were because they are private. When I got in the car he told me he was taking me to his band's show because he thought I'd like it and he wanted my honest opinion. I was mad because he lied to me and because I was wearing my swim trunks. He said he'd pay for my drinks so I didn't complain though. When we got to the place there was no alcohol there and also no attractive women. Mark apologized but told me he would buy me alcohol after the show. I demanded he either take me to a water park or a place with attractive women and he said he would. The place was almost empty because that place was shut down last month for being overrun with roaches. I stood in the back because when I was near the front a man made fun of my swim trunks. Marky's band wasn't like the things that I like. I don't remember the names of any of the songs they played. I didn't recognize Mark at first because he took off his glasses when he was playing. If you have never seen Mark without his glasses, he looks weird, mostly because he is squinting all the time. He wasn't a very good singer but when I told him this after the show he told me he intentionally sang bad or something, I don't remember exactly. He sung through a weird box that made his voice sound like a vacuum cleaner. I told Mark that and for some reason he thought that was good. After the show Mark took me to Taco Bell drive-thru which was good. That's my review of Mark's band. 
2	Senate Vows To Block Obamas Supreme Court Justice Nominee v According to Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the U.S. Senate should not act to fill the Supreme Court vacancy opened by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia until after President Obama is out of office. The American people should have a voice in the selection of the next Supreme Court justice, McConnell said in a statement. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president. Several other Republican leaders, including candidates Sen. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, have also come forward with their opposition to President Obama choosing the Supreme Court nominee. The Republican majority in the Senate is helping to build a strong case against Obama, but any action taken would include some serious risks. In any case, Obama will be under pressure to choose a more moderate justice in order to win the Republican votes he needs. If Republicans are unable to retake the White House in 2016, the pressure evaporates. And experts fear that it will be less likely the case if Donald J. Trump or Ted Cruz get the GOP nomination. What do you think? Do you support a block against President Obamas nominee? 
1	Acting on information gathered from billboards, alternative weeklies, and Internet banner ads, an FBI strike team liberated 14 dazed, sallow, and undernourished American Apparel models in a raid on the controversial organization's downtown Los Angeles compound early Monday. 'There were girls lying everywheredraped over furniture, sprawled spread-eagled in the corner, and huddled close like animals,' FBI Special Agent Curtis Froman, who oversaw the raid, said at a press conference. 'Many of them had been given nothing more than a pair of tube socks or men's briefs to wear.' Law enforcement officials continued clearing models from the compound into the early morning hours. Froman said it took agents nearly 20 minutes to cut through the holding-cell padlocks, only to find the ambiguously ethnic-looking captives living in 'unspeakable conditions.' 'They just stared up at us with blank expressions of utter confusion,' Froman added. 'I don't think they'd seen the sun in weeks.' Nine American Apparel security enforcers were also killed during the raid. The models, who range in age from 18 to 22 but appear to be 12 to 14, were taken to an emergency safehouse where they were given food, clothing, and access to soap. Officials said they were conducting tests to determine whether the girls were subjected to brainwashing during their captivity. 'I thought it would never end,' said Fiara, a Brazilian-Finnish brunette who was held in an empty white room for weeks in nothing but Lycra tights and a halter top. 'I can't believe how good it feels to wear something that buttons again.' After freeing the captives, many of whom appeared drugged, agents seized thousands of amateur Polaroids and several dozen pairs of oversized sunglasses whose purpose remains unclear, FBI reports said. [slideshow:66656] 'We may never know the full extent of what went on in there,' Special Agent Hugh Conroy said. 'We do know they were held against their will in an airless, windowless basement under harsh fluorescent lights, forced to sign liability waivers, and posed in contorted positions on bare cement floors. 'The humiliating combinations of flimsy unitards, leg warmers, and '70s-inspired tank tops they were forced to wear clearly show a deranged mind at work. Those poor, poor girls.' Several models said they were initially drawn in by American Apparel's progressive environmental policies, sweatshop-free manufacturing, and youthful corporate identity. But their dreams of success were soon shattered. 'Before I knew it, I was squatting on the floor in this humid room with a camera pointed at my crotch,' said model Gabrielle, whose image can be found on the back page of this newspaper. Law enforcement agencies have long suspected that the company's much-vaunted vertically integrated structure deliberately hid the unpleasant realities of this international model-exploitation ring. Despite their ongoing investigations, agents present during the raid were 'completely unprepared' for the level of degradation they discovered inside the American Apparel facility. 'I'll never forget those hollow, emotionless eyes,' Special Agent Jane Cosgrove said. 'I don't care how many stock options they were givennothing is worth what those girls went through.' Still at large, FBI sources say, is the models' alleged captor, a shadowy, unkempt, elaborately facial-haired figure in his late 30s or early 40s known only as 'the Creepy Man.' 
3	Who Does The Hillary Clinton Piper Play For? Wall Street!By Brandon Turbeville Clintons 2008 campaign was overwhelmingly funded by Wall Street and Wall Street interests. We can also never forget that it was during Bill Clintons tenure as President that Wall Street received the benefit of seeing derivatives become fully unregulated, the implementation of NAFTA, as well as other anti-labor and anti-American policies that further destroyed the American economy and working class. Before anyone argues that Clinton is not her husband and the tragedies of his tenure in office should in no way be pawned off on her, it should be noted that Clinton opposes the re-imposition of Glass Steagall, the bill that was repealed by her husbands administration and that was so important in creating the conditions for the 2008 financial crisis.[1] [2] In regards to Clintons money from Wall Street firms, consider the article Delamaide: Wall Street Is In Hillarys Corner, written by Darrell Delamaide for USA Today. Here, Delamaide writes, Behind the scenes, Hillary Clintons campaign for president belies the Wall Street reform rhetoric that she uses to appeal to left-wing Democratic voters. It was Deep Throats reputed advice to reporters in the Watergate scandal that made follow the money the iconic slogan for those seeking to ferret out corruption in U.S. politics. But the political slush fund in Nixons 1972 re-election campaign seems quaint in the wake of Citizens United, super PACs and the even darker pools of campaign funds that are the forms of corporate payoffs to politicians nowadays. Much of the money is impossible to follow as dubious non-profit organizations mask the identity of their donors and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce fights efforts to make companies disclose their political contributions. However, we can still see the tip of the iceberg through the tatters of campaign finance law that remain. And what that tip tells us is that Wall Street is still squarely behind Clinton. . One of the things making it complicated might be the unstinting support Clinton is getting from Wall Street. An analysis of the most recent federal campaign contribution data by the Huffington Post found Clinton in the lead in donations from Wall Street with $432,610 from bank executives, employees and their spouses. Republican hopefuls Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio trailed with $353,150 and $105,669, respectively.[3] Delamaide points out that these types of donations, however, are only one small avenue from which Wall Street money is able to find itself in to the Clinton coffers. He writes, Again, this is the tip of the iceberg, because it doesnt include funds flowing into many super PACs and the very dark 501(c)(4) organizations like Americans for Prosperity that ostensibly promote social welfare but are shams for political advocacy. This is on top, in Clintons case, of the millions she and her husband, the former president, collected in speaking fees in the months prior to the official declaration of her candidacy, including from Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and other Wall Street firms. These ties are well known, but the fact that this support continues in the face of Clintons leftish rhetoric tells us Wall Street is not too worried about anything Clinton may do if she were to win the election. This susceptibility to influence by mega-donors is not confined to Wall Street or financial services. In a report this week on Clintons ambitious plans for increasing renewable energy, The New York Times quoted her own press secretary as noting that these goals met the bar to win her donations from hedge fund billionaire and environmentalist Tom Steyer. (The report also noted her plans would require new legislation that would be difficult to pass.) As important as the money trail is, there are other indications behind the scenes that Clinton does not envisage any radical changes or even any significant restrictions on Wall Street. Her top advisers include two former investment bankers who have a history of being soft on financial regulation. Both held high positions in Clintons State Department and would be obvious candidates for cabinet posts in a new Clinton administration. Tom Nides, a veteran of Morgan Stanley and a former chairman of the main financial services lobbying group Sifma (Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association), was deputy secretary of state under Clinton. Robert Hormats, a longtime vice chairman at Goldman Sachs and currently vice chair of Kissinger Associates, was an under secretary during Clintons tenure at State. It was President Bill Clinton, let us not forget, who brought Goldman Sachs co-chairman Robert Rubin and his coterie of Wall Streeters into his administration and championed the financial deregulation that led to the 2008 financial crisis.[4] Such high volumes of Wall Street money may show where Clintons bread is buttered, at least in terms of campaign finance money. However, the facts can never keep a good Clinton down. Hillary has blasted big banks, hedge funds, high-frequency traders, and other similar operations while on the campaign trail and, laughably to anyone with any political judgement at all, attempted to present herself as a political outsider. In fact, after giving an anti Wall Street speech at the New School only a week later, Hillary attended a private fundraiser with Raj Fernando, CEO of high-frequency trading firm Chopper Trading. The whole affair was an exercise in deceit and a testament to Clintons faux populism.[5] Obviously, Clinton is a complete tool of Wall Street as her tenure as First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State have already demonstrated. Nevertheless, continuing on the discussion of Clintons campaign contributions from Wall Street, consider the article Clinton Rakes In Wall Street Cash Amid Tough Talk, by Jacob Pramuk of CNBC. Pramuk writes, During her nascent presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton has called for expanded regulation of the financial system, slammed wealth disparity and pushed for tougher punishment on individual rule breakers. All of that rhetoric has mattered little to Wall Street. Already among the biggest donors to Clintons political career, employees of some megabanks have funneled big money into her bid for the 2016 nomination. Employees of five financial firmsCitigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynchgave about $290,000 to Clintons campaign committee through June 30, according to a MapLight analysis of Federal Election Commission data. While it makes up less than 1 percent of the roughly $47 million raised by Clintons committee this cycle, it follows a precedent set in her 2008 presidential campaign, when the firms employees were among her biggest donors.[6] An April, 2014 blurb in The Week also mentioned how Clinton is so amenable to Wall Street that big banks see a Clinton or Bush presidency as being one about the same as the other.[7] The article reads, Most alarmingly to liberals, Clinton has appeared downright chummy with big business and Wall Street in her long political career, raising concerns about whether she would ignore white collar malfeasance to the detriment of the middle and lower classes. That concern isnt unfounded, either.[8] And in the latest sign of Clintons coziness with moneyed interests, an in-depth story from Politico on Monday reports that Wall Street has three favorite candidates in the early 2016 jockeying.[9] Those candidates, in preferred order: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Clinton. If it turns out to be Jeb versus Hillary we would love that and either outcome would be fine, a top Republican-leaning Wall Street lawyer told Politico. [10][11] The Politico story mentioned by The Week also contains an interesting quote by Lloyd Blankfein who told Politico that I very much was supportive of Hillary Clinton the last go-round, he said. I held fundraisers for her.[12] Even more open about Clintons connections to Wall Street was a relatively positive story about her Presidential bid announcement. As MJ Lee wrote in Hillary Clintons Wall Street Dilemna, for CNN, Wall Street is more than ready for Hillary Clinton. The former secretary of state confirmed on Sunday what the political world has expected for months eight years after her first failed White House bid, Clinton will once again seek the Democratic Partys nomination for president. Im hitting the road to earn your vote, because its your time, Clinton said in a video released Sunday afternoon officially kicking off her campaign. And I hope youll join me on this journey. As Clinton sets off onto the campaign trail to reintroduce herself to voters and court donors across the country, Wall Street elites are ready to roll out the red carpet. But while the enthusiastic support from the industry will be a financial boon for Clintons newly launched campaign, it will also pose a delicate balancing act when it comes to appeasing a vocal wing of her party that is antagonistic toward the banking sector. Clinton, 67, has long enjoyed a close relationship with the financial industry. As a New York senator for almost a decade, she represented Wall Street and courted the industry aggressively during her last presidential campaign. And there is a certain degree of nostalgia within the industry for her husbands two-term presidency, marked by the 1990s bull market and broad financial deregulation, including the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial banking from riskier investing activities. Now Clintons allies in the finance world are eager to galvanize a broad network of potential donors in New York and beyond. Many on Wall Street and in the broader business community view her as a dependable, business-friendly force within a Democratic Party that has grown increasingly populist during President Barack Obamas time in office. . Robert Wolf, the former CEO of UBS Americas and a close Obama associate who will back Clinton in 2016, said theres an incredible amount of enthusiasm for her campaign to get off the ground. We know the secretary from the years of being first lady to the senator to the secretary, so we have decades of working relationship with her, Wolf, who now runs a boutique consulting firm headquartered in Manhattan, told CNN. I dont think its surprising that the former senator of New York is close to the finance community. Longtime Clinton friend and prominent Democratic fundraiser Alan Patricof, who founded the venture capital firm Greycroft Partners, said Clinton has an enormous following both inside and outside of the finance world. There are a lot of people who perhaps didnt know her as well before who are all set to jump on the bandwagon, Patricof said. As compared with 2008, he added: There is no diminishment, just the opposite an acceleration of interest in her running for the presidency. But the fanfare wont sit well with everyone. The former first ladys perceived coziness with Wall Street is a source of irritation for liberal activists, who hope to push the eventual Democratic nominee to embrace progressive ideals during the 2016 primaries. Clinton, who lost her first presidential campaign to a challenger from the left, seems to recognize that the liberal wing of the party has grown even more vocal and influential since then, especially on economic matters.[13] The Daily Kos also mentioned Hillarys Wall Street ties as a potential problem for her 2016 campaign amongst true liberals.[14] It wrote in April 2015, One can have many arguments about Hillary and Bill Clinton. The vote for the AUMF, welfare reform, and NAFTA can be argued in various ways. But one you cannot have is about the connection between the Clintons and Wall Street. It is simply a fact. Consider the top 10 donors to Hillary Clintons campaigns:[15] . Five of the top 10 donors to Hillary Clinton were Wall Street investment banks, and many were the beneficiaries of the Wall Street bailout. Two others, DL Piper and Skadden Arps, are Wall Street law firms. . And make no mistake: Wall Street has hopes for Hillary Clinton. Consider this from the author of a book on Goldman Sachs and its influence: While the finance industry does genuinely hate Warren, the big bankers love Clinton, and by and large they badly want her to be president. Many of the rich and powerful in the financial industryamong them, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman, Tom Nides, a powerful vice chairman at Morgan Stanley, and the heads of JPMorganChase and Bank of Americaconsider Clinton a pragmatic problem-solver not prone to populist rhetoric. To them, shes someone who gets the idea that we all benefit if Wall Street and American business thrive. What about her forays into fiery rhetoric? They dismiss it quickly as political maneuvers. None of them think she really means her populism.[16][17] White Out Press covered yet another Clinton confab with Wall Street interests as far back as 2014, describing the political climate with Clinton. According to interviews conducted with attendees, Clinton rushed in to assure bankers and financial predators that she would usher in an era that was free of bank bashing, and that all Americans were responsible for the 2008 collapse, not just bankers and her own aristocratic class. White Out Press reports the following: Two weeks ago at the luxurious Conrad Hotel in lower Manhattan, some of the worlds richest and most powerful people got together for what seemed at times like a political rally. Prospective 2016 Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton even reportedly took home no less than $200,000 as her minimum speaking fee. By her side giving his own six-figure keynote speech to the gathered Wall Street elite was her husband and former President Bill Clinton. After being introduced by Goldman Sachs executive Tim ONeill, Hillary Clinton went on to reassure the crowd of bankers and wealthy investors that a Clinton administration wouldnt hold Wall Street responsible for the nations economic ills the way the current Obama administration has. Illustrating the two hypocritical faces of the Obama White House, the bankers love his policy of giving them trillions in free money. But they dont like being called fat cats by the President at the same time. According to a report from Politico which interviewed guests at the high profile event, Hillary Clinton insisted that all Americans were to blame for the countrys ever-growing economic failings over the past three decades, not just Wall Street as many from both of Americas two establishment parties contend. Bank-bashing, she told them, was counter-productive and needed to stop. . After speaking to a number of attendees, the report goes on to quote or paraphrase their reactions to Clintons speech. One pleasantly surprised Wall Street insider told the publication, It was like, heres someone who doesnt want to vilify us but wants to get business back in the game. Like, maybe heres someone who can lead us out of the wilderness. Hillary Clinton is no stranger to Wall Streets richest and most powerful insiders. As first lady, a US Senator, Presidential candidate, and then Secretary of State, she has literally spent decades courting them for political contributions and watching many of them grow up from their first years out of college to their positions at the helms of the wealthiest corporations on Earth. And shes been a vocal and loyal supporter of Wall Street the entire time. The Bill Clinton administration was so pro-Wall Street that it was accused by many of being responsible for the global economic collapse of 2007-2008. Clinton removed the barrier between investment banks and commercial banks, allowing all of them to take citizen deposits and then gamble them in the casino-like financial markets. He also incentivized them to increase home loans, even to those who didnt qualify, in an attempt to put as many Americans as possible into their own home.[18] Clintons close ties to Wall Street are even pervasive when it comes to her choice of aides and cabinet during her tenure as Secretary of State. In fact, two of these State Department aides Tom Nides and Robert Hormat are so scurrilous they were given the honor of an article in The Guardian devoted to them and their revolving door between government and banking (as well as Kissinger Associates). As Ben Jacobs wrote in his article Hillary Clinton Aides Wall Street Links Raise Economic Policy Doubts,[19] The Wall Street ties of two top aides to Hillary Clinton at the State Department are raising concerns among progressives about the composition of a future Clinton White House. The former aides, Tom Nides and Robert Hormats, have shuttled between government and Wall Street for years. Nides, who is frequently described as a Clinton confidant, is a longtime Morgan Stanley executive who served as deputy secretary of state for management and resources from 2011 to 2013 before returning to Morgan Stanley. Nides is also the former chairman of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (Sifma), the main lobbying group for Wall Street in Washington DC. Hormats, a former vice-chairman of Goldman Sachs, served as under secretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment from 2009 to 2013. He is currently vice-chairman of Kissinger Associates, the consulting firm founded by the former secretary of state Henry Kissinger. Neil Sroka, a spokesman for the progressive advocacy group Democracy for America, expressed his angst about the influence of the two in Clinton world. Its hard to imagine how a presidential candidate is going to seriously confront the powerful, greed-driven interests on Wall Street when theyre taking advice and staffing cabinet posts with people who just clocked out of the same big banks and investment firms that made bundles from wrecking our economy, Sroka said. Both Nides and Hormats have a strong history of taking pro-business stances on financial regulation and other issues near and dear to progressives. While at Morgan Stanley, which received a federal bailout, Nides pushed for the Obama administration to find the right balance in avoiding criticism of Wall Street in the aftermath of the financial crisis. He also played an important role in the Bill Clinton administration lobbying members of Congress to vote for Nafta in 1993.[20] Hormats, who has been described as Clintons economic guru, boasted of the Clinton State Departments support of the business community in a 2013 interview.[21] He is also on the record being supportive of partial privatization of social security. Hormats also touted the benefits[22] of widescale deregulation in the 1990s and strongly supported increased trade with China.[23] Nides, in particular, has played a major role in Clintons current campaign. He has been one of the campaigns top bundlers of contributions and responsible for raising over $100,000 for the former secretary of state. He has been tipped as a future White House chief of staff in a Clinton administration.[24] Further, employees of Morgan Stanley, where Nides serves as vice-chairman, have given Clinton more than $90,000 in the past quarter.[25] This is more than every Republican candidate combined has received from the firm. [26] Of course, the Wall Street political donations did not begin with Clintons 2016 run. Her failed 2008 bid was also replete with Wall Street dollars. As Ellen Simon of Investopedia documented, Workers in the finance, insurance and real estate industries donated $21 million to Hillarys 2008 presidential campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.[27] Securities and investment workers were her third largest source of campaign donations behind lawyers and retirees.[28] Citigroup Inc. (C) employees donated $765,192, more than employees of any other company.[29] Goldman Sachs (GS) employees were next, with donations of $682,990.[30] DLA Piper was in fourth place, Morgan Stanley (MS) was fifth and JPMorgan Chase Co (JPM) was sixth.[31] However, a review of filings from Ready for Hillary, a political action committee, shows few banker or investor supporters. Clinton associate Tom Nides, a Morgan Stanley executive, has begun lining up support and donations for Hillary on Wall Street, according to a November report in Politico.[32] . Wall Street has also played a role in helping the Clintons rebuild their personal finances. Hillary Clinton has said that by the time President Bill Clintons presidency ended in January 2001, the family was dead broke.[33] Between 2000 and 2008, however, Bill and Hillary had jointly earned $109 million.[34] Some of that fortune came from the speaker circuit, where Wall Street firms have been eager clients. In 2011 and 2012, Bill Clinton gave paid speeches at companies including American Express (AXP), Bank of America Corp. (BAC), Deutsche Bank AG (DB), Goldman Sachs, HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC), JPMorgan Chase, Jefferies LLC, the Mortgage Bankers Association, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Pershing LLC, TD Bank (TD)., the Vanguard Group, UBS AG and Wells Fargo Company (WFC).[35] His starting fee, per speech, was $165,000.[36] Mrs. Clinton also became a paid speaker after she left the State Department in 2013.[37] Since then, shes been paid a reported fee of roughly $200,000 per speech for clients including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan.[38] [39] It is also worth noting that Clintons connection to Wall Street is not just one of ideology or money, there is now a blood connection as well. Chelsea Clintons recent marriage was to a Goldman Sachs executive, Marc Mezvinsky, now a founding partner in Eaglevale Partners, LP., a hedge fund worth $400 million that was launched in 2011. Ellen Simon of Investopedia expands upon this connection by writing, A New York Times report found that tens of millions of dollars raised by Eaglevale can be attributed to investors with some relationship or link to the Clintons.[42] Among those investors are hedge fund managers Marc Lasry and James Leitner; an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family; and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd C. Blankfein. Rock Creek Group, a Washington-based investment advisory firm that briefly sublet office space to Mrs. Clinton after she stepped down as Secretary of State, placed $13 million from the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) and another public pension fund with Eaglevale in late 2011 and early 2012, according to the Times. The pension funds have subsequently withdrawn their investments; CalPERS left as it moved money away from hedge funds.[43] [44] Clintons direct donations from Wall Street are not the only source of banker cash, however. The Clinton Foundation, which will be covered in a future article, is another. In the meantime, it should be beyond question that Hillary Clinton is nothing if not a creature of Wall Street. Not only her campaign contributions originate from the halls of major banks but her political and governing staff members are picked from the same organizations. Her social life is one that is firmly within the circle of the wealthy aristocratic class, encompassing many oligarchs and elites, especially those of banks. If anyone is supporting Clinton because of her rhetoric against banks or the public perception to that end created by the mainstream media and other perception managers, they are following a pied piper indeed.

Man betrays his character, his heredity, his ideas, and all his past life in every lineament of his face, in the pose of his body, in his gait, in the lines of his hands, in the tones of his voice and in the expression of his eye especially. No man possesses character. Character is that which he is, and not something apart from himself. One needs only to observe, to think, and to reason on what he sees. The individual who is really sincere and devout will not fail to recognize sincerity and true devotion in an acquaintance or in any character in history that possessed these virtues. Hence, the Student learns to recognize by unfailing signs those in the present or the past who knew True Wisdom and those who were pretenders. The real Master is often held in contempt and denounced by the populace because he is neither time-serving nor willing to barter the truth for gold. Today virtually everyone sees Christianity as a religion but it was actually developed as a system of mind control to produce slaves that believe God decreed their slavery. From their position as the Pontiff Maximus the official title for Caesars position as head of the pagan college of Roman priests the Pontiffs of the Roman Catholic church oversaw the feudal system wherein christianized serfs gave their work product to the authorities without complaint. Their docility was caused by the fact that they were Christians and therefore believed the Apostle Paul when he wrote: slaves should be obedient to their masters in everything. (Titus, 2) Though serfs were indeed slaves the word serf can be traced back to the Latin word servus, meaning slave the group that became serfs did not start out as slaves and were originally called coloni (sing. colonus), a Latin word meaning a farmer who farmed his own land. (One interesting etymological point is that the word colonized was first used to depict a coloni changing wild land into farm land.) Armed with the power of Jesus, Constantine defeated his rival and became dictator. His reign is best remembered for the Edict of Milan in 313, which fully legalized Christianity, and the Council of Nicea, which he chaired in 325, that began the era where the religion enjoyed the power of the Roman state. The Pope Eventually the degradation of the colonis legal status to serf was formalized with the creation of a ceremony known as bondage. During the ceremony a serf placed his head in the lords hands akin to the ceremony where a vassal placed his hands between those of his overlord. The serf would then swear oaths that bound him to his lord in a feudal contract which defined the terms of his slavery. The Christian Enslavement of Europe Today virtually everyone sees Christianity as a religion but it was religion is mind control through fear, and a lot more stuff used to control people. thank you seems to be true Not to mention China sold emails then delete them.

1	After visiting their parents over the long Thanksgiving weekend, millions of holiday travelers reportedly returned to their daily lives Monday having completely caught up on the CBS procedural crime drama The Mentalist. We watched a bunch of episodes from this past season, and my mom brought me up to speed on what happened earlier on in the show, said Michael Ferree of Ithaca, NY, echoing the sentiments of Americans across the country who learned over the holiday that former-psychic-con-artist-turned-criminal-investigator Patrick Jane succeeded in tracking down and killing Red John, the serial killer who murdered Janes wife and daughter 10 years earlier. Apparently, the mentalist was a fugitive for a while until the FBI found him and forced him to come work for them. Now, the show takes place in Austin for some reason. Also, at the end of last season, the mentalist got together with the main girl who was just about to move to Washington with this FBI agent she was dating. Its okay. At press time, millions of Americans confirmed that they would finish watching season seven of The Mentalist during Thanksgiving weekend 2015. 
1	Over 70,000 elated New Orleans Saints fans celebrated the first professional football game to take place in the newly renovated Superdome since Hurricane Katrina Monday night by joyously rushing from their seats onto the field, ripping down the goal posts, destroying the playing surface, and trampling three people to death after the Saints' 23-3 win over the Atlanta Falcons. 'This city is back!' said Marcus Hammond, one of 5,000 Saints fans who rushed from the French Quarter to seek refuge in the Superdome's reopening. Early reports indicate that as news of the victory spread, the excited citizens steadily breached the dome's walls throughout the night, creating a chaotic and devastating environment of celebration. 'This was something all of us needed,' said resident Sean Montrell, who joined several thousand fans in overturning trashcans and setting them on fire inside the dome. 'Now, maybe Americans will finally pay attention to what is going on here in New Orleans.' 'Go Saints!' Montrell added before beating and urinating on the man standing next to him. Long after the game ended, the jubilant, hungry fans showed no signs of stopping the festivities, finding themselves stealing food and alcohol from stadium venders who were bludgeoned with any metal object that could be extracted from the dome's infrastructure. In addition, fans were too busy rioting to notice that the loss of electricity and the absence of air-conditioning had created oppressive conditions with temperatures easily exceeding 100 degrees. 'When it got dark, that was the most fun,' said sweaty, blood-drenched Beatrice Sheehy, who last saw her two children being escorted away by an unknown man she described as 'some guy.' 'I really think the Saints could go all the way this year.' 'Go, Reggie Bush!' she added, moments before purchasing heroin from an unidentified man and then shooting it up on the 50-yard line. Although all participants described the mood as one of joy and relief, conditions in the dome continued to deteriorate as the plumbing broke down and the newly refurbished bathrooms began to completely overflow with fecal matter. The deluge of waste eventually flooded the hallways, leaving a slick film of excrement surrounding the dome. Ecstatic fans later said it did not seem worth trying to go inside one of the bathrooms after the game, opting instead to find a dark corner in which they could void their bowels. 'Looks like a victory party to me!' said longtime Saints fan Julius Childress, who claimed he scaled the rafters to lead a 'Go Saints!' cheer, and then passed the long night watching people having sex, both consensual and not, in the third-floor skyboxes. 'When I got to the highest part of the dome, that's when I saw a group of happy drunk people chopping and tearing at two new holes in the dome's roof. One guy in an Aaron Brooks jersey screamed 'Go Saints,' just before falling his death.' Added Childress: 'The Saints have definitely given this city its soul back.' Mayor Ray Nagin took the opportunity to congratulate the Saints football team, the citizens of New Orleans, and the many officials who oversaw the $185 million effort to restore the Superdome in time for last Monday's game. 'This is a symbol of our cultural pride and heritage,' said Nagin, speaking from the newly dilapidated Superdome with throngs of dirty, hungry, disease-ridden Saints fans, some holding babies, standing in line for Red Cross aid packages behind him. 'With the Saints back here where they belong, things are finally starting to return to normal in New Orleans.' 
2	Congress Is After Obama For Releasing Terrorist That Killed US Soldier In 2007, Omar Khadr threw a grenade at a group of US soldiers. He was arrested and sentenced by the military commission to 45 years in Guantanamo Bay. When Obama came into the presidency, he shorted this murderers sentence to 8 years. Many government officials are outraged over this irrational decision. He was just released after serving out his 8 years. There is murderous terrorist walking the streets of America because of Obama. Khadr only ended up serving one year at Guantanamo Bay. Obama transferred him over to Canada for the rest of his sentence. Has Obama completely lost his mind? 
3	New microchip for smartphones to provide unprecedented ultra-precise location dataMadison Ruppert, Contributor Today cell phones, but smartphones in particular, have become one of the most powerful surveillance tools available with Carrier IQ, citizen spying applications distributed by both the private sector and government agencies, techniques to encourage citizen spying, and a total lack of privacy. The new chip, called Broadcom 4752 or BCM4752, will relay information about the vertical and horizontal position, if the individual is indoors or out, all through combining a wide variety of information sources. It is loaded with sensors that can draw data from global navigation satellites, which is common in many modern smartphones, along with cell phone towers, wireless hotspots, gyroscopic information, data from the phones accelerometer, step counters and even altimeters. Combining all of this information will allow for location data which is unprecedented in its preciseness, raising the potential of even more powerful surveillance via smartphones. The sheer amount of information that could be garnered from this new chip is nothing short of unbelievable. Theoretically, the chip can even relay the exact floor of a building you are on by assessing information from the atmospheric pressure sensor already present on many Android-based devices. Broadcom calls this eerie technology ubiquitous navigation. They are selling it as a revolutionary way to conduct business because shopkeepers will be able to detect the moment someone walks by their storefront or when browsing particular products and then offer the customer coupons in real time. I see this claim a lot like the selling points for many other products which fall under the category of Big Brother technology, like Googles new patent which would allow disturbing amounts of information to be collected in order to produce targeted advertisements. Of course, this chip will also allow for the government to request unprecedented amounts of highly specific and accurate information on smart phone users. The fact that this will also use location data outside of GPS signals means that people can be closely tracked even when indoors or in areas where GPS signals are weak. Currently, Broadcom is already the provider of the majority of GPS chips to manufacturers of smartphones, meaning that the new chip will likely have a large customer base. That being said, not all smartphones have the same sensors and the integrated circuit in this new chip relies on some sensors which are not currently present in all phones. For now, this means that it will not perform the same in every device, but as technology improves and these types of sensors become more common, this will be minimized. The new chip uses the not-so-new technique of triangulating using Wi-Fi signals, although an interesting tidbit from Technology Review comes when we discover that, Broadcom maintains a database of these hot spots for client use, but it says most of its clients maintain their own. One of the companies that is behind the creation and maintenance of said Wi-Fi hotspot databases is a little known corporation called SkyHook Wireless. Ted Morgan, SkyHooks chief executive officer (CEO), does not believe that Broadcoms new chip will be able to compete with SkyHooks software-based system. Broadcom is just now talking about something we have been doing for seven to eight years, uncovering all the challenges, Morgan said. Broadcom has never done major deployment. Some of these challenges are managing battery use, cataloging new mobile Wi-Fi hotspots and much more, all of which he thinks Broadcom will not be able to conquer as SkyHook has in their quest for precise indoor location data. However, Broadcoms vice president for the GPS division Scott Pomerantz says that the big [mobile] operating systems all have a strategy in place to create their own Wi-Fi databases like those produced by SkyHook. This is highlighted by the fact that Apple used to use SkyHook for the iPhones location services, although now they use their own location system they built. While Pomerantz was not authorized to name specific clients, Technology Review points out that one of Broadcoms biggest customers is Apple. This new chip is also designed to integrate sources of information which have yet to be deployed in a commercial context, like Bluetooth beacons. The use case [for Bluetooth beacons] might be malls, Pomerantz explained. It would be a good investment for a mall to put up a deploymentperhaps put them up every 100 yards, and then unlock the ability for people walking around mall to get very precise couponing information. The density of these sensors will give you even finer location, Charlie Abraham, the vice president of engineering at Broadcom, added. It could show you where the bananas are within a storeeven on which shelf theres a specific brand. While this might seem quite wonderful in terms of convenience and more precise directions from navigation applications, it also raises the disturbing prospect of our government having even more highly precise and personal information on Americans.

2	World Leaders Ask America To IMPEACH Obama For This Huge Act Of Treason According to recent reports, Argentinas President Christina Fernandez de Kirchener just announced that her country was approached by the Obama administration with an outrageous request. Kirchener met with an official who reportedly requested Argentina to provide enriched nuclear fuel to the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2010. Kirchener claimed that Gary Samore, former White House Coordinator for Arms Control and Weapons of Mass Destruction, wanted Argentina to supply nuclear fuel to Iran. What do you think? If this is true, is the Obama administration due to be charged with treason? 
1	Michael Renfro, a 68-year-old retired CPA with an apple hovering in front of his face, announced Monday that he has filed a $15 million lawsuit against the estate of deceased Belgian artist Ren Magritte for unlawfully using his likeness in the 1964 painting The Son Of Man. Renfro did not approve use of his image. 'I only recently became aware of the painting's existence when an acquaintance slipped a Polaroid of the work between the apple and my face,' said Renfro, who suspects that Magritte may have seen him while he was purchasing a bowler hat and topcoat in Brussels in the early 1960s. 'Despite everything, I do respect Mr. Magritte's abilities as an artist. He was undeniably a master of photorealism.' Magritte's work has often been the subject of litigation, most notably in 2003 when the Los Angeles County Museum of Art filed a Treachery of Images charge against the artist's estate after purchasing a piece by Magritte that was believed to be a pipe, but was later revealed not to be a pipe. 
2	VIDEO: Riots Ensue After Officers Caught Urinating On Mike Brown Memorial Recently, a shocking story has surfaced in which a police officer allegedly allowed his dog to urinate on the spot where Mike Brown was shot and killed just three weeks ago. A day after his death, a memorial was erected for the 18-year-old. Apparently, this is the exact spot where the dog relieved himself. According to reports, a group of unnamed police officers are also reported to have driven over the flowers and candles that Browns mother had taken to the memorial. Not surprisingly, the actions spurred more protests from the already-violent black rioters in Ferguson. According to Missouri State Representative Sharon Pace, That made people in the crowd mad and it made me mad. At the time of the incident, the officer was present with a police dog, being used to quell rioters. One might argue that the officer has very little control over where his dog urinates. What do you think? Is this story true or was it simply a misunderstanding?

2	See This Video Of Obama Bashing Jesus And The Bible Before It Gets Scrubbed From The Internet [VIDEO] Time and time again, President Obama has been accused of being a Muslim. Still, he has maintained that he is a Christian. Of course, his actions tell a very different story. Now, a new video has surfaced that makes it clear that Obama is either the worst Christian on the planet, or no Christian at all. Watch Obama making fun of the bible and Jesus in the clip released by Mad World News, and tell us what you think. Is Obama lying about his faith? 
2	Kid Rock Gets Blacklisted After He Sends Brutal Message To Race Baiters... F*CK COLIN KAEPERNICK Earlier this month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick made headlines when he refused to stand for the national anthem. It took less than a day for fans to start burning his jersey in protest. Of course, Kaepernick stood behind his actions, saying that he was protesting oppression in this country. I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color, he told reporters. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder. Now, rebellious musician Kid Rock is taking a stand against Kaepernick and the movement that has followed his feeble protest. This week, during a concert in Boston, MA, Kid Rock yelled f*ck Colin Kaepernick as his hit song Born Free began to play. The mark was met with cheers from the patriots in the audience. Of course, when liberals heard about the remark, they started calling for a boycott of the rock star. What do you think? Do you support Kid Rock in standing up for our country? 
3	Obamacare Hardship Exemption Offered to Offset Hardship Caused byObamacareLily Dane Obamacare is on life support after being plagued with problems including (but not limited to) website issues, security issues, cancelled plans, higher rates, medication coverage confusion, the you can keep your doctor and you can keep your plan lies, negative poll results, unauthorized charges, and expensive (and ridiculous) ad campaigns. Last night four days before the December 23 enrollment deadline the administration announced that the millions of consumers whose individual insurance policies have been cancelled will be allowed to buy bare-bones catastrophic plans or avoid the healthcare coverage requirement altogether. Thats right people whose individual plans were cancelled due to non-compliance with ACA guidelines will now be exempt from the individual mandate for 2014. They wont have to pay a tax penalty (okay, lets call it what it really is an unconstitutional fine). A hardship exemption will be accepted for those who lost their existing coverage and think that the plans offered through the state and federal marketplaces are too expensive. Until now, the ACA has allowed people under age 30 to buy catastrophic plans, and offers hardship exemptions for people over 30 who can not afford coverage (if the cheapest ACA bronze policy available on the state exchange marketplaces costs more than 8 percent of their annual income, they may qualify for that exemption). The law also includes a generalized hardship exemption for those who are facing an unforeseen difficulty, such as homelessness or divorce: Cant we call Obamacare itself a human-caused event? The change to the exemption criteria raises a concern about fairness what about the people who didnt have insurance in the first place? Shouldnt they qualify for a hardship exemption too? And, what about Americans who were able to get through the exchanges to purchase coverage? Will they be allowed to drop that insurance and change to a catastrophic plan if they want or need less expensive coverage? At this point, can anyone keep track of the mass confusion this train wreck has inflicted, anyway? How is any of this going to be tracked and monitored, considering that the IRS cant handle its traditional duties, and the Obama administration cant even offer a working website for the ACA? As House majority leader Eric Cantor (R) of Virginia put it: Of course, insurers arent happy either, as Karen Ignani, head of the trade group Americas Health Insurance Plans expressed: What impact will this have on the future of the individual mandate? It is hard to say right now, but Ezra Klein speculated on the possibilities in his Wonkblog column: Offering a hardship exemption to offset the hardship caused by Obamacare is proof (as if we needed more) that the ACA is broken and can never be repaired. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared. Her goal is to help people to Wake the Flock Up! 
3	How To Predict The Behavior Of GlobalistsBy Brandon Smith For example, in early 2016 the elites were entirely aware of the rise of conservative and sovereignty movements in the U.S. and Europe. In fact, the dangers of growing populism were all that elitists and their publications talked about for the first six months of the year. At first, this notion seemed a little odd to me. Generally, when globalists are attempting to manage public opinion, they are careful not to reveal the slightest hint that conservative movements exist beyond an extremist fringe. They certainly never suggest that there is a massive undercurrent of nationalism ready to topple the globalist structure. In fact, whenever such movements do arise the establishment is swift to obstruct them or co-opt them. I witnessed this first hand during the Ron Paul campaign in 2008 and 2012 the mainstream deliberately refused to acknowledge Ron Pauls existence, because attacking him repeatedly would have been a zero sum strategy that would have given him greater public attention and free publicity. I saw it during the Neo-con co-option of the Tea Party, a movement that I was involved in long before Fox News latched onto it and long before mainstream RINO Republicans not only jumped on the bandwagon but hijacked the horse. In a matter of months the Tea Party became a defunct entity, a shell of its former self. Luckily, most liberty activists simply left it behind and started their own separate groups and projects rather than being absorbed into the Neo-con fold. I also saw establishment interference on a local and state level during elections in Montana. An associate of mine was running for state office on a liberty platform and was doing rather well in the polls. He was approached by a contingent of political elites running as Republicans who told him in no uncertain terms that he could run on any platform and use any rhetoric he wanted, but if he won, he would be required to follow THEIR direction. They even encouraged him to continue arguing for constitutional government in his speeches and debates, because they felt this was the best way to sell his candidacy. But when all was said and done, he was supposed to stab his constituency in the back and take orders from the party leadership. The point is, the elites dominate the political system. Nothing happens within it without their say. So, for those same elites to suddenly and openly suggest that populist movements were threatening to overtake the world and destroy the global economy was suspicious, to say the least. In order to predict the behavior of globalists and the outcome of future economic and political events, it is important to understand certain dynamics. As just described, the establishment has a stranglehold on the political system. Party politics are a sham built around the false left/right paradigm. However, certain new dynamics are developing, and you must be able to track them. The best way to do this is to watch what globalists say within their own publications. They often reveal their intentions directly or indirectly. In many cases I think in their arrogance they assume that the masses are too stupid to read these publications and grasp what is being said. The most important element of predicting globalist actions is to know what they ultimately want; to know their ultimate goals. If you know the specifics of what any group or individual desperately wants, those people become highly predictable, because there are only so many useful paths to get to any goal. I have used this method to great effect over the years, so I am not merely presenting a theory, I have concrete successes to back my position. For example, just in the past couple of years I correctly predicted the Federal Reserve taper of QE, I predicted the inclusion of China in the IMFs Special Drawing Rights years in advance, I predicted the exact timing of the first Fed rate hike, I predicted the success of the Brexit referendum when most of the world and the liberty movement said it was never going to happen, I predicted that the Saudi 9/11 bill would pass, that Barack Obama would veto it and that Congress would override his veto, I predicted that Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic candidate and that Donald Trump would be the Republican candidate for president of the U.S. and, I predicted that Donald Trump would win the 2016 election. Except for the China SDR inclusion, I predicted all of these events many months in advance and received a heavy amount of criticism each time from people in the mainstream and even from people in the liberty movement. Hilariously, as soon as these predictions proved true, some of the same people that were fervently opposed came quickly out of the woodwork to claim they saw it coming all along. I suppose this is human nature, but it is a problem because it keeps people from learning how to better gauge globalist behavior and come to correct conclusions. My goal in this article is to make EVERY liberty activist adept at predicting globalist driven events. So, here is a good place to start: The elites are obsessed with chess and chess symbolism. Many of their strategies develop much like a game of chess develops. If you dont know how to play chess, I suggest you learn. You dont have to master the game, but you do need to understand the basic concepts of winning the game. For example, if you know the target that your opponent is really pursuing, you can easily obstruct his efforts because all his movements will become predictable. If his goal is to take your Queen, and you know this, then he should never be able to take your queen. This is why the elites go to great lengths to distract their opponents (meaning us) from their true target. They want you to think they are going straight for your King, or your Knight; they want you focused elsewhere. They will use feints often. Another core strategy of chess is the forced sacrifice. That is to say, the best chess players are very good at positioning one of their pieces so that it threatens two or more of your pieces. This forces you to sacrifice one piece for the sake of the others. If they do this often enough, before you know it you have sacrificed your way into defeat. The globalists ALWAYS have a primary target and a secondary target. There is always more than one move developing at any given time. Knowing chess is key to knowing how the globalists think. Going by their behavior and their rhetoric when they are unguarded, most globalists display highly narcissistic character traits as well as sociopathy and psychopathy. It is not enough to research these traits in a clinical fashion, you have to tap into the darker side of your own psyche, and think as they think. This means being willing to entertain evil and malicious concepts. You must be willing to ask yourself If I were them, how would I go about getting what I want? Understanding devious and aberrant psychopathic intent goes a long way in making the globalists predictable. Remember, many psychopaths are actually highly intelligent and intuitive. They dont have a moral compass and have lost the voice of conscience, but in order to adapt they have learned how to fake it. They are chameleons. ALL people are inherently capable of evil actions, just as they are inherently capable of great good. You dont have to become like the elites, but you do have to go to some ugly places in your own mind. An elitist is basically a person who went to those places and discovered that he liked it there. As noted above, the globalists have their own media outlets in which they publish their views, such as Foreign Policy Magazine, The Economist, Bloomberg, Reuters, etc. Sometimes these views are honest and sometimes they are calculated propaganda. Again, if you know exactly what the elitist targets are, then you can better discern if what they are saying is legitimate or a feint to distract you. I predicted the success of the Brexit and the Trump win based on the knowledge that: 1) The globalists need a large-scale crisis in order to drastically change public perceptions on society and governance. That is to say, they need to create a crisis so terrifying that people will be willing to accept a fully centralized global economic system and global governance as a solution. 2) The globalists have already set in motion an economic crisis that cannot be reversed. It is a crisis that they must avoid blame for at all costs once it accelerates. 3) Conservative and sovereignty principles are the primary threat to the dominance of globalism. As long as ideas of individualism, national sovereignty and decentralization exist, globalism can never truly prevail. Therefore, obstructing movements based on these principles is not enough. The globalists must also destroy any positive perceptions of our principles for generations to come. 4) As stated in the section on chess, the globalists like to use the strategy of forced sacrifice, in which they threaten two targets simultaneously, or kill two birds with one stone. I realized at the beginning of 2016 that all the rhetoric by globalists in their own publications on the rise of populism was staging the groundwork for the success of the Brexit and the success of Trump. What better strategy for the establishment than to allow conservative movements to take the helm of the political and economic ship just as that ship is about to sink? In this way, the globalists can have the crisis they need, while at the same time scapegoating conservatives and avoiding blame, and, destroying the image of conservative ideals, perhaps forever. This is a hard one for many people. We all have certain biases and these biases can blind us to reality. The overreaching bias within the liberty movement is a desire for heroic leadership. We have grown up on stories of heroes from George Washington to Thomas Jefferson grand statesmen and military giants that crushed tyranny. The problem is, while men like Washington and Jefferson were indeed instrumental, they were nothing without the hundreds of thousands of unsung patriots working tirelessly for freedom on their own. The founding fathers were not considered the founding fathers until long after the American Revolution was over. At the time, they were not thought of necessarily as heroes or even great leaders. They were just men, like many other men, gambling life and liberty on a cause that was uncertain at best. selfnewss need to STOP looking around for mighty leaders and start taking leadership themselves in their own way. If we do end up with another Washington or Jefferson or Paine or Madison, etc., we will not know who they are until the fight is over and the history books are written. The globalists take full advantage of the movements weakness in seeking out and artificially elevating heroes. Also, when people have this bias, they end up with blinders when examining such heroes with any skepticism. Obviously I am referring to Donald Trump, here. Sacred cows prevent accurate predictions of major events because a person will refuse to consider them as a potential negative factor. It is one thing to be able to predict the outcome of social and political events; it is another matter to do something about them. In my next article I will outline solutions liberty activists can pursue on their own and in groups to counter globalist activity. Predicting their tactics is essential, but acting to disrupt those tactics should be the ultimate goal. The globalists believe that even if some of us do manage to decipher their activities and methods, we will have no means to do anything about them. They see themselves as the history makers, as the men who act. They see us as the history watchers, or the meaningless masses wafting about with geopolitical tides, helpless and incapable of determining our own destinies. I believe we will become history makers in due course. One weakness of the globalists that will sabotage them is their own hubris. They see people as pawns but what happens when a piece walks off the chess board completely and acts in an unpredictable way? It is this potential alone that will destroy the globalists in the end.

Well stated erudition of our present existential reality (imho) Best article on the subject I have read in a long while What happens when a piece walks off the chess board completely and acts in an unpredictable way? It is this potential alone that will destroy the globalists in the end Yes, exactly this January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the IT IS TIME TO ROOT OUT THESE GLOBALIST AND SEND THEM TO PRISON OUT OF THE COUNTRY NEVER TO SET FOOT HERE IN THE USA EVER EVER AGAIN.!!!!! There is a sound message here. Instead of wishing for a hero figure to come to your rescue, you must take the heroic steps yourselves to maintain your individual sovereignty and independence. I made this decision during the Vietnam war. I considered that war a gross crime by our nations leaders. I refused to assist in any way that cowardly war by a nation that had the technology to land men on the moon against a nation that that was still working in their rice paddies and using oxen to plow their fields. I became a total drop out from society and stopped paying taxes that would be used to fight this horrible and unjust war. I learned to not only become a survivor but to thrive with very little income. In the process, I became the kind of person that would refuse to work for a boss that I did not like. I was not afraid to quit a job because I knew how to do many other types of jobs and could always find another job or create my own job like tree trimming doing maintenance or making fire wood and selling it etc. Most of my life I have been an independent contractor. In short, I lived as a free man unimpressed with what a person possessed but impressed with what a person could do. Dont wait for Trump to make America Great Again. Take the necessary action to make yourself great and live the life you wish for free of fear. If enough of you do this, America will be great and we will realize just how useless most of our government leaders really are. Nice follow up article to the first part. Another couple of points on chess. If you are to play chess and be successful you must be able to see at least six moves ahead, the more the better, and envision what the board and position will look like then. The game of chess is a very studied game. Volumes of books have been written on every aspect of the game, openings, middle game complexities and end game certainties. This equates to a study of political science through history.Tactics meld into one with the strategic goal of directly attacking the opposing King so that he has no escape, called checkmate. The chessboard the elites play on is much different from the usual 64 square board of chess. Their attack is mounted on at least four dimensions and on a much larger game board. We must consider the width of their attack, on many fronts simultaneously, depth, as a multitude of contingency plannings to thwart new threats, height, in the forces they can array and what is most often forgotten and very important in chess is time. This is the execution of a series of moves in a consecutive manner over time that puts the opposition in disarray and unable to mount a defense in real time. The game of chess is a good analogy here but if one is to succeed in chess against a master they had better sharpen their skills and have a deep understanding of all the nuances of the game. May Caissa smile upon you. Chess is a good metaphor and I frankly believe that Putin is a threat to the globalists and he seems to be playing that game at their level. They Fear Us They Know Were Waking Up A Tipping Point Is Coming They Want To Speed Up Their Plans We Must Speed Up Our Opposition Do Not Fear Them They Thrive Off Fear Desperation Confront Them At Every Opportunity, Let Them Know Their Days Are Numbered ! Excellent article! A chess piece walking off the board is self ownership at its best. 
1	Boasting of his special arrangement at the popular casual-dining restaurant, Hampton Inn concierge Albert Roush explained Wednesday evening that he has a long working relationship with Janice, the second-shift hostess at the Chilis across the intersection. Lets just say we look out for each other, Roush said of his mutually beneficial deal with the 35-year-old food-service staffer. Ive recommended Chilis to a lot of our guests over the years, and shes comped my Beef Bacon Ranch Quesadillas on more than one occasion. I scratch her back, she scratches mine, if you get me. Roush was later overheard telling a group of guests that if they want a table at the restaurant, they should just let him know and [hell] see what [he] can do. 
3	Speed Trap Town Dissolves Entire Police Dept After Years of Officials Getting Rich from FinesBy Matt Agorist Neighboring officials even went so far as to label the town a speed trap. In spite of being the smallest community in the county, the village of Arlington Heights had the busiest court in the region and even the state thanks to the Arlington Heights police department and their disreputable speed trap. According to a 2007 report from the Enquirer, the overwhelming majority of cases (93%) that pass through court in Arlington Heights, are for traffic fines alone. Despite issuing and collecting a record number of trafficfines, the money from those fines never found its way to the village bank account. The clerk of courts and the deputy clerk of courts, with the help of the ticket writing cops, enriched themselves to the tune of $260,000 before they were finally caught in October. Even thought he was met with backlash from the Arlington Heights Police department, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters, who called for the dissolution of the village in 2012, said that referring to the village as a speed trap is appropriate. Basically, they were setting up speed traps on I-75 to fund the municipal workings of that village which they then stole, he said. I cant quite put my finger on it, but theres something off about a village thats maybe a mile long setting up speed traps to raise money that then is used to fund a bunch of public employees. It just rubs me the wrong way. What Deters is describing is the basic function of every police department across the country.Everyone from the street cops to the mayor depends on drivers being extorted for traffic violations. Its what pays their salaries. Luckily for all the residents of Hamilton County, on Friday, the Arlington Heights police department was disbanded as a result of their years of revenue collection for criminals. With the revenue collection arm now dissolved, the Hamilton County Sheriffs Office will begin patrolling the tiny village. You get to a point where it just doesnt make sense anymore, Deters said. I think theyve taken a hard look at what theyre doing out there, and if theyre letting the sheriff do it now, they made the right call. Matt Agorist writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com What state? Based on the linked article, it appears to be Ohio. The whole of I-75 through Ohio was one big speed trap when i drove OTR in the 70s; i once saw five other big rigs pulled over at one time by cops who seemed to appear out of thin air. See Linndale, Ohio. Linn Missouri near Lake Of The Ozarks has always been a Speed Trap Town. In the UK we have public/private speed camera traps to fleece our most law abiding, tax paying citizens, on behalf of the corrupt elite of the country who are closely related to the corrupt elite in the US, in family ties, perverted practices open to blackmail, banking and any other corrupt practices they can get away with. Time to research, inform others and take back your world. Ohio is full of speed trap towns, not just on the interstates.. I can think of at least three or four in Stark County alone.. 
2	Donald Trump Criticized For Praying On The Weak In a recent article published by Salon magazine, a reporter named Joe Miller criticizes Donald Trump for manipulating the nations poor to help build his wealth. He accuses Donald Trump of preying on single mothers and the like, especially as it pertains to a company called ACN. According to Miller, Trump was part of a video promoting the company is which he described investing in the company as a better opportunity than real estate. ACN describes its system as follows: you build an ACN customer base, your customers bring in even more customers, and you earn up to $8,000 a month. Miller then goes on to explain that the company actually charges $499 to join, which he believes shatters many peoples dreams at the doorstep. Still, he claims, ACN representatives push the vulnerable to invest in the future of their children. And, he argues, the company is plagued with lawsuits and regulatory actions for running a pyramid scheme. Of course, Miller then goes on to make the jump and say that this should somehow exclude Trump from running for President, which is absolutely ridiculous. When asked about his involvement with the company, Trump said that he was not familiar with what they do or how they go about doing it, and I make that clear in my speeches. Miller argues at at best, this shows that hes for sale. Or worse, Miller argues hes unfit to lead this nation. Its clear that the media is attacking Trump left and right, but their arguments are weak at best. What do you think? Will this scandal take Trump down or does his vague appearance in the videos have no affect on his position as president? 
1	While acknowledging it was 'sad' and 'kind of depressing to think about,' sources close to local man Nathan Bosnic admitted Friday that a $50 gift certificate to Loews Cinemas was the perfect present for him. 'It breaks my heart to say this, because Nate's my little brother and I love him, but the sad fact of the matter is that he goes to a lot of movies by himself, and he'll get more use out of this than anything else I could have bought him,' said Bosnic's sister Kate, adding that the gift was 'really a no-brainer,' a fact that made it all the more depressing. 'I know he'll love the matinee discounts there, because he sees a lot of movies in the daytime. He says he likes it when it's less crowded and he can get a row to himself. Jesus.' When asked for comment, Bosnic said he would probably use one of the free tickets to see Tom Hanks' new romantic comedy Larry Crowne, which, sadly, everyone knew he would say. 
1	Frantic executives of the Iams pet food corporation convened an emergency meeting Wednesday to address the brand's increasingly poor sales among 2- to 4-year-old chocolate-colored Labrador retrievers, company sources reported. High-ranking employees confirmed Iams has struggled to retain the allegiance of this coveted demographic, which is regarded by the company as a potential revenue engine on par with the perennially hot 5- to 8-year-old dachshund market. A chocolate-lab 'We are absolutely hemorrhaging postadolescent chocolate labs, and no one seems to have any idea why,' Iams chief Dan Rajczak told reporters. 'I don't know where we went wrong or how it got to this point, but if we don't win back some of these under-5 chocolates in a big hurry, we can kiss our first-quarter revenue targets goodbye.' 'We're not talking about some small-potato demo like newborn Bernese mountain dogs here,' Rajczak added. 'It's chocolate labs 2 to 4, for God's sake. This is big time.' According to 18 months' worth of sales data, both long- and short-haired chocolate labs have steadily moved away from Iams' range of product offerings, including its ProActive Health canned wet line, Tartar Treats breath-freshening dental chews, and its popular weight-control formulas. Additionally, reports indicated that the crucial group has all but abandoned the company's pot-roast-flavored Savory Sauce liquid dog-food topping. 'It makes no sense. We're mystified,' marketing director Michel Brousset said. 'We specially formulated our kibble with prebiotics and antioxidants essential for active sporting breeds, and our beef-in-gravy line tested through the goddamn roof in our 2- to 4-year-old chocolate-lab focus groups just last year.' Added Brousset, 'And I thought these dogs were supposed to be loyal.' This latest development is expected to complicate the financial outlook for Iams, which just last year saw its stock downgraded after leadership failed to capitalize on the emerging Labradoodle market. While they reportedly account for just 8 percent of Iams' total sales, 2- to 4-year-old chocolate labs are considered a vital growth area in the highly competitive mid- to large-sized family dog sector. The behavior of these trendsetting canines is seen as a bellwether for retrievers of all ages. 'Numbers don't lie, and we need to stop the bleeding now, or next thing you know we'll be losing yellow labs, black labs, andI can't even believe I'm saying thisgoldens,' Rajczak said. 'Meanwhile, Alpo and Pedigree are practically selling sawdust for dog food, but they're killing us in all the major markets: 8- to 12-year-old huskies, 6-year-old Chow Chows, sheepdog puppies, and, hell, even spaniel seniors.' Rajczak said Iams could not afford a loss on the scale experienced in 2004, when it 'shit the bed on the whole Chihuahua craze,' forcing the company to 'play catch-up with those cunts over at Mighty Dog.' Executives have brainstormed several strategies aimed at regaining the retriever demographic, including signing chocolate-lab enthusiast Bill Clinton as a spokesperson, obtaining an exclusive contract with the popular dog-bowl maker K&H, and conducting a stealth marketing campaign in upscale boarding kennels and other areas with high concentrations of 2- to 4-year-old chocolate labs. All such ideas, however, were dismissed as 'blatant pandering' by Rajczak, who noted that 'these dogs can smell bullshit from a mile away.' While Iams' Labrador losses have reportedly been offset thus far by the company's dominant 86 percent market share among adult Great Danes, executives remained deeply worried about the company's future. 'Sure, 6- to 8-year-old Great Danes can keep us afloat in the short-term,' Rajczak said. 'But we can't rely on them forever. They'll all be dead by 2012.' 
3	Investors Start To Panic As A Global Bond Market Crash BeginsBy Michael Snyder Many have believed that we would see bonds crash before the stock market crashes, and that is precisely what is happening right now. Since mid-April, the yield on 10-year German bonds has shot up from 0.05 percent to 0.89 percent. But much of that jump has come this week. Just a couple of days ago, the yield on 10-year German bonds was sitting at just 0.54 percent. And it isnt just Germany bond yields are going crazy all over Europe. So far, it is being estimated that global investors have lost more than half a trillion dollars, and there is much more room for these bonds to fall. In the end, the overall losses could be well into the trillions even before the stock market collapses. I know that for most average Americans, talk about bond yields is rather boring. But it is important to understand these things, because we could very well be looking at the beginning of the next great financial crisis. The following is an excerpt from an articleby Wolf Richter in which he details the unprecedented carnage that we have witnessed over the past few days On Tuesday, ahead of the ECBs policy announcement today, German Bunds sagged, and the 10-year yield soared from 0.54% to 0.72%, drawing a squiggly diagonal line across the chart. In just one day, yield increased by one-third! Makes you wonder to which well-connected hedge funds the ECB had once again leaked its policy statement and the all-important speech by ECB President Mario Draghi that the rest of us got see today. And today, the German 10-year yield jump to 0.89%, the highest since October last year. From the low in mid-April of 0.05% to todays 0.89% in just seven weeks! Bond prices, in turn, have plunged! This is the definition of a rout. Other euro sovereign bonds have gone through a similar rout, with the Spanish 10-year yield soaring from 1.05% in March to 2.07% today, and the Italian 10-year yields jumping from a low in March of 1.03% to 2.17% now. What this means is that the central banks are losing control. In particular, the European Central Bank has been trying very hard to force yields down, and now the exact opposite is happening. This is very bad news for a global financial system that is absolutely teeming with red ink. Since the last financial crisis, our planet has been on the greatest debt binge of all time. If we are moving into a time of higher interest rates, that is going to cause enormous problems. Unfortunately,CNBC says that is precisely where things are headed The wild breakout in German yields is rocking global debt markets, and giving investors an early glimpse of the uneasy future for bonds in a world of higher interest rates. The shakeout also carries a message for corporate bond investors, who have snapped up a record level of new issuance this year, and are now seeing negative total returns in the secondary market for the first time this year. So why is this happening? Why are bond yields going crazy? According tothe Wall Street Journal, financial regulators in Europe are blaming the ECBs quantitative easing program A recent surge in government bond market volatility can be blamed on the quantitative easing program of the European Central Bank, according to one of Europes top financial regulators. EIOPA, the body responsible for regulating insurers and pension funds in the European Union, has warned that the ECBs decision to buy billions of euros worth of sovereign bonds, to kick-start the regions economy, has caused markets to become choppier. And actually this is what should be happening. When central banks start creating money out of thin air and pumping it into the markets, investors should rationally demand a higher return on their money. This didnt really happen when the Federal Reserve tried quantitative easing, so the Europeans thought that they might as well try to get away with it too. Unfortunately for them, investors are starting to catch up with the scam. So what happens next? Well, European bond yields are probably going to keep heading higher over the coming weeks and months. This will especially be true if the Greek crisis continues to escalate. And unfortunately for Europe, that appears to beexactly what is happening Greece will not make a June 5 repayment to the International Monetary Fund if there is no prospect of an aid-for-reforms deal with its international creditors soon, the spokesman for the ruling Syriza partys lawmakers said on Wednesday. The payment of 300 million euros ($335 million) is the first of four this month totaling 1.6 billion euros from a country that depends on foreign aid to stay afloat. Greece owes a total of about 320 billion euros, of which about 65 percent to euro zone governments and the IMF, and about 8.7 percent to the European Central Bank. On Tuesday, Greeces creditors drafted the broad outlines of an agreement to put to the leftist government in Athens in a bid to conclude four months of negotiations and release aid before the country runs out of money. If there is no prospect of a deal by Friday or Monday, I dont know by when exactly, we will not pay, Nikos Filis told Mega TV. In fact, there are reports that both the ECB and the Greek government are talking about Greece going to aparallel domestic currency Biagio Bossone and Marco Cattaneo write that according to several recent media reports, both the Greek government and the ECB are taking into consideration the possibility (for Greece) to issue a parallel domestic currency to pay for government expenditures, including civil servant salaries, pensions, etc. This could happen in the coming weeks as Greece faces a severe shortage of euros. A new domestic currency would help make payments to public employees and pensioners while freeing up the euros needed to pay out creditors. If Greece defaults and starts using another currency, the value of the euro is going to absolutely plummet and bond yields all over the continent are going to start heading into the stratosphere. That is why it is so important to keep an eye on what is going on in Greece. But no matter what happens in Greece, it appears that we are moving into a time when there will be higher interest rates around the world. And since 505 trillion dollars in derivatives are directly tied to interest rate levels, that could lead to a financial unraveling unlike anything that we have ever seen before in the history of our planet. As I have warned about so many times before, 2008 was just the warm up act. The main event is still coming, and it is going to be extraordinarily painful.

2	Legendary Singer Risks His Entire Career For Trump Performance... Hes Calling For Your Support In the face of an extremely liberal entertainment industry, Donald Trump has had a difficult time convincing singers to perform at his inauguration. Many believe that doing so would irreparably damage their careers. Thats why is was extremely refreshing when legendary singer Paul Anka agreed to take a stand and perform at Trumps inauguration event. Sources claim Anka will perform his hit song My Way at the event with lyrics rewritten specifically for Trump. Paul was asked by the members of the Trump inauguration committee and he was only too happy to do it for his longtime friend, an Anka insider told reporters. While everyone else was running scared from performing at the inauguration, Paul stood fast. He wasnt about to be intimidated by anyone! Ankas lyrics for Frank Sinatras signature song, My Way have been covered by numerous artists over the years. Now, Paul has re-written those lyrics especially for Donald Trump, which he will perform during the inaugural dance for Donald and his lovely First Lady, Melania, the source added. Paul wont let the cat out of the bag or reveal his new lyrics yet but will be tailor-made for President Trumpand it will be huge! Anka isnt the only artists who signed on to Trumps inauguration. Jackie Evancho, the Rockettes, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir have been signed on to perform for some time. 
3	Make a 55-Gallon Compost Tumbler Fast, Cheap and EasyRady Ananda Rather than spend a few hundred dollars on a compost tumbler, below are step-by-step plans for making your own. Nice project if you can get 55-gallon barrels for cheap; look for them at local garden supply shops for food grade barrels, comments ReThink Survival. This is contrary to some of the suggestions below, but makes sense, and you can find food grade drums for cheap on eBay. But note, Greg Seaman at Earth Easy points out some pros and cons to bins vs. tumblers: Compost Bin Pros: Compost Bin Cons: Compost Tumbler Pros: Compost Tumbler Cons: His article is full of details making it worth the read. Also see his Guide to Composting. Compost Junkie offers detailed plans for a very simple garbage can compost tumbler, and plans for a sturdier version. These are not food grade, obviously, but that may not be as important as some believe. And, I guess you cant talk about compost without mentioning compost tea. Sami Grover did his homework,providing different methods to try and even reports that the science is out on the benefits of compost tea. Still, people swear by it: Elaine Ingham over at FineGardening.com has an easy-to-follow recipe for brewing compost tea. Using no more equipment than a bucket, some tubing, an aquarium pump and bubblers, and a strainer, she explains how soaking and bubbling a mix of compost, molasses and water over a 3-day period produces a biologically rich feed that spreads the benefits of a small amount of compost over your whole garden. Different ingredients serve different plant communities. For example, molasses is good for grasses, while fish oil or liquid seaweed boosts fungal activity, which is of more benefit to larger shrubs and trees. And, if youre light on compost material, here are eight places to find whatever you need, from restaurants to coffee houses and on. Just bring your own five gallon pails, and ask. Most shops are happy to give up their scraps.

3	After The Banksters Steal Money From Bank Accounts In Cyprus They Will Start Doing It EVERYWHEREMichael Snyder The government of Cyprus was given two options by the IMF and the EU either they could confiscate money from private bank accounts or they could leave the eurozone. Apparently this was presented as a take it or leave it proposition, and many are using the world blackmail to describe what has happened. Sadly, this decision is going to set a very ominous precedent for the future and it is going to have ripple effects far beyond Cyprus. After the banksters steal money from bank accounts in Cyprus they will start doing it everywhere. If this bank robbery goes well, it will only be a matter of time before depositors in nations such as Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal are asked to take haircuts as well. And what will happen one day when the U.S. financial system collapses? Will U.S. bank accounts also be hit with a one time wealth tax? That is very frightening to think about. Cyprus is a very small nation, so it is not the amount of money involved that is such a big deal. Rather, the reason why this is all so troubling is that this wealth tax is shattering confidence in the European banking system. Never before have the banksters come directly after bank accounts. How would you feel if something like this happened where you live? How would you feel if the banksters suddenly demanded that you hand over 10 percent of all the money that you had in the bank? And why would anyone want to still put money into the bank in nations such as Greece, Italy, Spain or Portugal after all of this? One writer for Forbes has called this probably the single most inexplicably irresponsible decision in banking supervision in the advanced world since the 1930s. And I would agree with that statement. I certainly did not expect to see anything like this in Europe. This is going to cause people to pull money out of banks all over the continent. If I was living in Europe (and especially if I was living in one of the more financially-troubled countries) that is exactly what I would be doing. The bank runs that we witnessed in Cyprus over the weekend may just be a preview of what is coming. When this wealth tax was announced, it triggered a run on the ATMs and many of them ran out of cash very rapidly. A bank holiday was declared for Monday, and all electronic transfers of money were banned. Needless to say, the people of Cyprus were not too pleased about all of this. In fact, one very angry man actually parked his bulldozer outside of one bank branch and threatened to physically bulldoze his way inside. But this robbery by the banksters has not been completed yet. First, the Cypriot Parliament must approve the new law authorizing this wealth confiscation on Monday. If it is approved, then the actually wealth confiscation will take place on Tuesday morning. According to Reuters, the new president of Cyprus is warning that if the bank account tax is not approved the two largest banks in Cyprus will collapse and there will be complete and total financial chaos in his country The fact that the new president had previously ruled out any kind of a wealth tax has a lot of people very, very upset. They feel like they were flat out lied to But apparently the wealth confiscation could actually have been far worse. According to one report, the IMF and the EU were originally demanding a 40% wealth tax on bank account holders in Cyprus Could you imagine? How would you feel if you woke up someday and 40% of all your money had been taken out of your bank accounts? At this point, there is still some doubt about whether this plan will actually be adopted or not. Right now the new president of Cyprus does not have the votes that he needs, but you can be sure that there is some high-level arm twisting going on. Originally the vote was supposed to happen on Sunday, but it was delayed until Monday to allow for some extra persuading to be done. And of course the people of Cyprus are overwhelmingly against this wealth tax. In fact, one poll found that 71 percent of the entire population of Cyprus wants this plan to be voted down. The funny thing is that Cyprus is not even in that bad of shape. The unemployment rate is around 12 percent, but in other European nations such as Greece and Spain the unemployment rate is more than double that. Cyprus has a debt to GDP ratio of about 87 percent, but the United States has a debt to GDP ratio of well over 100 percent. So if they will go directly after bank accounts in Cyprus, what will stop them from going after bank accounts in larger nations when the time comes? In the final analysis, this is a game changer. No longer will any bank account in the western world be considered to be 100 percent safe. Trust is a funny thing. It takes a long time to build, but it can be destroyed in a single moment. Trust in European banks has now been severely damaged, and that damage is not going to be undone any time soon. A recent blog post by the CEO of Saxo Bank, Lars Christensen, did a great job of explaining how incredibly damaging this move by the IMF and the EU truly is This is the biggest moment that we have witnessed since the beginning of the European financial crisis. Financial authorities in Europe could try to calm nerves by at least pretending that this will never happen again in any other country, but so far they are refusing to do that Yeah, that sure is going to make people feel a lot more confident in what is coming next. I have insisted over and over that the next wave of the economic collapse would originate in Europe, and we may have just witnessed the decision that will cause the dominoes to start to fall. The banksters have sent a very clear message. When the chips are down, they are going to come after YOUR money. So what do you think about the bank robbery that is taking place in Cyprus?

3	Dont Keep Calm...Heather Callaghan Although counter-intuitive, getting excited helps with performance anxiety more than trying to calm down, and using certain statements can manufacture the remedy, creating major biochemical changes. There is a reason why not forcing oneself to calm down might work to improve our outlook. The study recently published by the APA in their Journal of Experimental Psychology used real-world examples from scenarios that invoke a lot of anxiety such as public speaking, singing and math tests. But, the results can be applied to any life situation. Study author, Alison Wood Brooks, PhD, of Harvard Business School said: Anxiety is incredibly pervasive. People have a very strong intuition that trying to calm down is the best way to cope with their anxiety, but that can be very difficult and ineffective. When people feel anxious and try to calm down, they are thinking about all the things that could go badly. When they are excited, they are thinking about how things could go well. The way we talk about our feelings has a strong influence on how we actually feel, said Brooks. The impression this writer is getting from the tests is that telling yourself something you dont actually believe is counter-productive, whereas riding along with it can harness that energy. In one experiment, 140 participants (63 men and 77 women) had to prepare a persuasive public speech and basically audition why they would be good work partners. Anxiety was purposely increased by a researcher who recorded the speeches and said they would be judged by a committee. Before delivering the speech, participants were instructed to either say I am excited or I am calm. The subjects who said they were excited gave longer speeches and were more persuasive, competent and relaxed than those who said they were calm, according to rated evaluations. Another experiment: 188 participants (80 men and 108 women), were given difficult math problems after they read try to get excited or try to remain calm. A control group didnt read any statement. Participants in the excited group scored 8 percent higher on average than the calm group and the control group, and they reported feeling more confident about their math skills after the test. One more trial: 113 participants (54 men and 59 women) were randomly assigned to say that they were anxious, excited, calm, angry or sad before singing a popular rock song on a karaoke video game console. A control group didnt make any statement. All of the participants monitored their heart rates using a pulse meter strapped onto a finger to measure their anxiety. Participants who said they were excited scored an average of 80 percent on the song based on their pitch, rhythm and volume as measured by the video games rating system. Those who said they were calm, angry or sad scored an average of 69 percent, compared to 53 percent for those who said they were anxious. Participants who said they were excited also reported feeling more excited and confident in their singing ability. An experiment like this probably cannot take into account each persons constitution (in simplified terms, their personalities). But, as Brooks said, since both anxiety and excitement are emotional states characterized by high arousal, it may be easier to view anxiety as excitement rather than trying to calm down to combat [or resist] performance anxiety. She adds: When you feel anxious, youre ruminating too much and focusing on potential threats. In those circumstances, people should try to focus on the potential opportunities. It really does pay to be positive, and people should say they are excited. Even if they dont believe it at first, saying Im excited out loud increases authentic feelings of excitement. Another impression to take from this research is not so much about positivity after all, the idea of calming down probably sprang up in an effort to lower negativity (and blood pressure). But rather its the idea of being friends with anxiety and going through it rather than denying or resisting. Additionally, the researchers are concluding that affirmations might not work if untrue, yet also show the power of language and self-talk. Outside of this, I highly recommend the Rescue Remedy for anxiety and any type of lifes upsets. It was developed in the 20th century by Dr. Edward Bach from the essence (not oil) of flowers and works similar to homeopathy. If you try this experiment, let us know what happened.

1	An absolutely terrible manuscript written by local aspiring novelist Brandon Heath reported today that Chapter 1: Clark. It was late autumn, the leaves on the trees were a brilliant, blazing red, and Clark Thurman was gazing at the passerby just outside his apartment window, continued the just awful first draft of Heaths 80,000-word book, The Final Light, which according to its author details the interlocking fortunes of three strangers living in 1950s Manhattan and which sources confirmed is very bad. For a moment, Clark thought he heard Mary call his name from the kitchen, but then he remembered school was back in session and the woman he loved had returned to her studies at Swarthmore, leaving him here, alone. This time of year often saw Clark fall into such melancholy thoughts. At press time, Heaths thinly sketched character was rushing to respond to an unexpected knock on the front door of his apartment. 
2	VIDEO: Steel Plant Manager Calls Out Obama To His Face Recently, an outrageous video shows just how sensitive Obama is to the American working people. When a manager of a steel plant asked the president about rising healthcare costs, Obama claimed that the average family has saved $1,800. Wed like to talk to those families, please. Obama went on to claim that the plants human resources department probably was not shopping for healthcare rates effectively. He claimed that exchanges are working to save people money, and that the manager was likely not taking advantage of them. While that sounds like a great story, the truth is that healthcare costs in the U.S. are at a record high, reaching $3.8 trillion according to Forbes. After plan design changes and vendor negotiations, the average health care premium rate increase for large employers in 2013 was 3.3 percent, down from 4.9 percent in 20122 and 8.5 percent in 2011, the Insurance Journal reports. However, average health care premium increases are projected to moved back to the 6 percent to 7 percent range. Thats a detail that the president conveniently left out. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Holder, Feds Will Allow Legal Weed in StatesDOJ sends memo to US Attorneys to leave weed alone in legal states, but to still consider it illegal. Today, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an update to its federal marijuana enforcement policy in light of recent state ballot initiatives that legalize, under state law, the possession of small amounts of marijuana and provide for the regulation of marijuana production, processing, and sale. In a new memorandum outlining the policy, the Department makes clear that marijuana remains an illegal drug under the Controlled Substances Act and that federal prosecutors will continue to aggressively enforce this statute. To this end, the Department identifies eight (8) enforcement areas that federal prosecutors should prioritize. These are the same enforcement priorities that have traditionally driven the Departments efforts in this area. Outside of these enforcement priorities, however, the federal government has traditionally relied on state and local authorizes to address marijuana activity through enforcement of their own narcotics laws. This guidance continues that policy. For states such as Colorado and Washington that have enacted laws to authorize the production, distribution and possession of marijuana, the Department expects these states to establish strict regulatory schemes that protect the eight federal interests identified in the Departments guidance. These schemes must be tough in practice, not just on paper, and include strong, state-based enforcement efforts, backed by adequate funding. Based on assurances that those states will impose an appropriately strict regulatory system, the Department has informed the governors of both states that it is deferring its right to challenge their legalization laws at this time. But if any of the stated harms do materializeeither despite a strict regulatory scheme or because of the lack of onefederal prosecutors will act aggressively to bring individual prosecutions focused on federal enforcement priorities and the Department may challenge the regulatory scheme themselves in these states. 
1	Tallahassee resident Hannibal Grant found himself 'paralyzed' by the sheer immensity of ice-cream options available to him at a local Cold Stone Creamery Monday, sources close to Grant report. 'I was ready to pick out just one nice flavor of ice cream without second guessing what might be good and what was more of a risk, but there'sthey have over fortysomething flavors,' said an exasperated Grant, who eventually returned home empty-handed after a self-imposed order-line delay of 26 minutes. 'Chocolate cream, mint chocolate-chip, chocolate chunks, white chocolate, just to name a few. And I don't even like chocolate.' Grant is expected to recover well enough to return to his job as a research librarian by Friday. 
1	Moving quickly to begin the process of filling the unexpected vacancy on the Supreme Court bench, President Obama spent much of the weekend compiling a shortlist of gay, transsexual abortion doctors to replace the late Antonin Scalia, White House sources confirmed Monday. These are all exemplary candidates with strong homosexual values and proven records of performing partial-birth abortions, but am I missing anyone? Obama reportedly asked himself while reviewing his list of queer, gender-nonconforming, feminist Planned Parenthood employees, all of whom were also said to be black immigrants. I definitely have enough post-op transsexuals on the list, but it is a little light on pre-op candidates. And I should probably add a cop killer or two on here just to round out my options. Sources later confirmed that Obama was attempting to rapidly narrow the list down to the single best nominee to submit to the Senate in hopes of wrapping up confirmation hearings before his choice had to leave to attend the Hajj pilgrimage. 
2	Protestor Burns Ole Glory Outside GOP Debate, But Then THIS Happened According to recent reports, one or more protestors attempted to burn an American flag in Milwaukee outside of the GOP debate on Tuesday. Were sure they didnt see what happened next coming. Reports indicate that three police officers used a fire extinguisher to put out the flag, and then proceeded to pick up Ole Glory and salute her. The flag was taken to be inventoried for possible charges against the protestor, the Milwaukee Police Department shared on Facebook. Milwaukee police officers later conducted a small, dignified ceremony to properly fold the flag before placing it on inventory. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

1	Expressing hope that the request wouldnt be too much of a hassle, houseguest Brian Olson reportedly asked his friend Kyle Gwinn last night if he could borrow a blanket that has never once been washed. Itd be great if I could just get a blanket thats been used by 10 previous guests that no one has ever bothered to clean at any time, said Olson, adding that he would be happy to take any stained quilt or musty comforter that has been crumpled up on the closet floor next to the vacuum for the past half decade or more. If you have a somewhat-soiled blanket that you used to soak up melting snow from winter boots or that you put on top of the car to have a layer between the roof and your Christmas tree, thatd be great. Or even just a filthy old blanket you used as a bed for a sick, elderly cat for several months. Thanks. Olson, who also inquired about taking a shower, was reportedly offered a fraying, damp towel hanging on a doorknob. 
2	#BlackLivesMatters Protestor Goes After Trump At Rally, Learns Quick Lesson From Proud Patriots [VIDEO] Youve probably heard from the liberal media that Donald Trumps supporters attacked and beat a Black Lives Matter protester who attempted to disrupt Trumps rally on Saturday. A black protester a Trumps rally today in Alabama was shoved, tackled, punched, and kicked, CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond claimed, following the event. According to CNN, at least a half-dozen attendees shoved and tackled the protester, a black man, to the ground as he refused to leave the event. At least one man punched the protester and a woman kicked him while he was on the ground. All of the attendees who were involved in the physical altercation with the protester were white. That would definitely be shocking newsif it were true. Of course, you cant trust the mainstream media to report things exactly as they happenand one video from the event is telling a very different story. The footage shows what appears to be Mercutio Southhall repeatedly falling to the floor in order to prevent being removed by security. When the security attempts to pick him up, he swings and misses. Watch what happens from there and tell us what you think. Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) November 22, 2015 
3	Chicago Police Use Local News Media to Downplay Secret Torture SiteJustin King Dont worry good citizens, the police have investigated themselves in less than 24 hours and found theyve done nothing wrong. The opening paragraph of the masturbatory fantasy that might as well have been written by CPDs public affairs division states that the building exists, and apparently this disproves all allegations. Police officials responded that the facility isnt used to violate suspects rights and isnt even secret. The Guardian never claimed the building was secret; it even had photos of it. Everybody knows Guantanamo Bay exists as a Navy base. Does that mean the treatment of prisoners there isnt secret? A person can drive right up the gates of the Central Intelligence Agency, therefore there are no secrets inside. Its quite a leap of logic, isnt it? The news outlet in Chicago goes on to allow a Police Department spokesperson to state: If lawyers have a client detained atHoman Square, just like any other facility, they are allowed to speak to and visit them. Of course immediately after the quote, the article describes that they arent treated the same as any other facility. In fact, they have to be taken to another facility for booking. Until a suspect is booked, they arent in the computer. If they arent in the computer, they cant be found no matter how long cops detain them at the secretive holding facility. In other words, the cop confirmed that detail of The Guardians story. Then the article goes on to talk about how a specific suspect wasnt beaten by police at the location. He was just handcuffed in an uncomfortable position. The article doesnt make any attempt to refute the allegation that he was denied his lawyer after explicitly requesting him. In fact, it doesnt even bring that allegation up. Its not hard to figure out why. The police then gave the Chicago Sun Times the most illogical of all responses in order to take attention away from the death of a suspect in custody, and the paper obediently printed it: The Guardian also ominously noted that John Hubbard, 44, was found unresponsive in an interview room at Homan Square and pronounced dead on Feb. 2, 2013. The Guardian said the Cook County medical examiners office couldnt locate a record indicating his cause of death. But on Tuesday, the office told the Sun-Times that Hubbard died of an accidental heroin overdose. He was taken into custody after he allegedly bought drugs from an undercover officer, arrest records show. This story doesnt even pass a basic logic test. So the undercover officer sold Hubbard heroin, then allowed him to shoot up the evidence, then he ODd, then they arrested him? Or did he shoot up while in custody? When was he arrested again? Or was he given a hot load by officers conducting an interrogation? We wont ever know. If he bought drugs from the officer, immediately recovering the drugs sold by the officer would be necessary to preserve the chain of custody in the event of a trial. Typically people who have shot up so much heroin that they are on the verge of overdosing, dont go buy more dope. So he shot up after the sale. How did this happen? Why werent these records available to The Guardian, but were immediately available once the allegation of wrongdoing came out? Im willing to bet the ink is still wet on those reports.The report is missing for two years, but magically appears after the controversy. Sorry, this response is too little, too late. It raises more questions than it answers and it doesnt address even half of the allegations. This story will not end because a media outlet says Nothing to see here. Move along. Police accountability activists, the Anonymous collective, some militia groups, and civil rights groups are planning a national day of protest over the facility. There are also plans to establish a vigil outside the building to photograph every person that enters the facility, and publish the photos on the Web. For some reason, I think the facility that isnt secret will send cops over to remove the activists. Justin King writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this first appeared. Tune-in to The Anti-Media radio show Monday-Friday @ 11pm EST, 8pm PST. The tortured need to come forward and sue the mayor and police off the face of the earth exactly and THATS WHY I CALL BS. Get out!! get out of the UNITED STATES WHILE YOU STILL CAN!! GET OUT NOW!!!! This reminds me of the Forced Disappearances in Argentina several decades ago. A Forced disappearance occurs when a person is secretly abducted or imprisoned by a state or political organization or by a third party with the authorization, support, or acquiescence of a state or political organization, followed by a refusal to acknowledge the persons fate and whereabouts, with the intent of placing the victim outside the protection of the law. Homan Square has all the earmarks of a forced disappearance facility. The victim is NOT in the system (how convenient). The victim is NOT under the protection of the law if he cant be found. The victim is at the mercy of the state especially if he isnt even acknowledged as a prisoner. People, WAKE UP! This Administration is taking away liberties and freedoms faster than I can blink. Other Presidents are just as guilty, but they werent on steroids like this President. How much longer before sites like this are taken down? Beware, the Beast is Here hospitals do this, too. Hate to be the one to point it out to you Americans.. youre way past the point of no return. These facilities pop up after youve passed that point, not before. Yup, all those laws passed in since 9/11 to capture those scummy terrorists were actually aimed at you the masses.. Probably time to lube up your buttholes.. Or clean and sight in your weapons at 600 yards! Big talk does NOTHING. You and your kind are exactly like the politicians. BLAH BLAH BLAH, but NO action. Its really hard to lock and load at 3am, being awakened from a deep sleep, watching your wife and children get shot/raped/imprisoned. Im beginning to believe that gun owners are the biggest cowards. Maybe yall should run for office. We all have our opinions now dont we, you are entitled to yours just as I am entiltled to mine. What would you have us do start a war on our own ground or wait for the enemy to advance a bit more and show their flank? They are too busy posting pry from my cold dead hands commments to realize that is exactly what it will be, once the incrementalism has run its course. I feel so much safer knowing that American patriots/men are saving the country by posting comments about their guns. incrementalism my arse. sfs castro district sells lube in five gallon buckets; maybe theyll give political activists a special when they refer friends Is this surprising when the Mayor of that H*llhole city is the son of a terrorist who learned his humanity in another H*llhole, Israel? SICK bast*ds dont even see that they are being used to destroy America. America IS going into HARD SLAVERY,..WHY? their as YELLOW as a banana,cowards are never free and the slaves protect their slave masters,so while the illusion is kept going of freedom,the slaves will kill their own mother if told shes a terrorist,AMERICANS HAVE BEEN TOTALY BRAINWASHED,and funny,their also the stupidest people on earth,HOW many countries will knowingly MURDER THEIR OWN CHILDREN,OUR BIBLE said this day would come,and so it hasTHIS is a country in its LAST DAYS. Hey Arizona, 
1	Although she stood to lose her friends, her family, and everything she had worked for her entire life, classically trained dancer Cassie Lisbon, 18, put it all on the line Saturday night when she performed a highly controversial ballet/hip-hop-fusion routine at the Chicago Academy for the Arts' annual spring recital. Lisbon prepares to bring it. The routine, which defied all reason and social order by combining the elegance of ballet with dangerous, never-before-seen 'street' moves such as spinning on one's knees and snapping fingers, reportedly lasted four and a half minutes. According to Lisbon, the bold and provocative number was the culmination of a month of rehearsals, 18 years of feeling like she was destined for something special, and six weeks of dating a troubled, but gifted, in-your-face competitive dancer and high school dropout. 'It was like my whole life was just preparation for that one moment,' said Lisbon, who added that everything had gone silent as she stood backstage before her routine and suddenly realized that it was this recital or never. 'I danced the only way I know howfrom the heart. Because in the 'hood and on the dance floor there are no second chances.' 'I don't care what they say,' Lisbon added. 'It's my life, and I'm playing for keeps.' Taking the featured spot in the school's final showcase after her uptight former rival, Annabelle, realized she had been following someone else's dream all along and dropped out at the last minute, Lisbon shocked her teachers and fellow students when the classical Stravinsky piece she was dancing to abruptly stopped and morphed into a slightly faster version with a bass beat and rapidly spoken vocals. 'At first I thought something was wrong with the sound system,' fellow student Maggie Pinchion recalled. 'But when I saw Cassie smile and take out that folding chair, I realized she was just bringing together two radically different worlds to show us all that we can follow the music that beats in our own hearts. It was so tight.' Lisbon, with one of her many new ethnically diverse friends, finds the strength&#8212;and rhythm&#8212;to show everyone. While school administrators are still baffled as to where such a talented ballet dancer could have learned a second form of dancing, some speculate Lisbon may have ventured out into the rough but vibrant neighborhoods surrounding the private academy. 'I can only assume that Cassie must have visited one of the local nightclub establishments where teens hang out and perform spontaneous, elaborately choreographed one-on-one dance competitions to the music of a young gentleman named Soulja Boy, among others,' head instructor James Tillingford said. 'Of course, there's no way Cassie could have infiltrated this subculture, unless she entered a biracial relationship with a young man who wanted a better life for himself than stealing cars and playing ball, someone who could teach her how to let go of her formal trainingalong with the pain of her mother's untimely deathand just let it flow so she could, in turn, convince his hardened, cynical friends that she was 'not bad for a white girl.'' Continued Tillingford, 'But she'd have to really bring it.' The only student in the history of the form to realize that ballet is incapable of expressing a whole range of different but equally true emotions, Lisbon said the road to popping and locking onstage wasn't an easy one. At times, Lisbon admitted, she felt like giving up and just performing the highly technical routine of graceful leaps and spins she had been training for over the last decade. Fortunately, her friends were there to encourage her. 'I could never have done it without my new girl Shandra by my side, telling me I had a chance to be somebody and I shouldn't let anyone stop me from achieving my dreams, because where she's from, 'hope' is a four- letter word,' Lisbon said. 'I have to accept that full scholarship to Juilliard on my own terms.' 'You can't rehearse for life,' Lisbon added. 'The rhythm is in you.' Lisbon expressed thanks for the support she received from her father, who thought she was throwing her life away with her 'ridiculous dancing hobby,' but made it to the recital to stand in the back and cheer her on anyway; her boyfriend, Tay, who not only taught Lisbon how to hear the beat of life but also performed a showstopping break-dance routine in the middle of her performance; and her new group of multiracial friendsespecially Little Jay, who was tragically killed in a knife fight only two days before Lisbon's final performance. Although she is excited to start her new life at Juilliard, Lisbon said she may defer enrollment for a year in order to mentor a promising, similar-looking sophomore who has plans to shake up next year's lower-budget recital in a style all her own.

3	Awake, Arise, And Proclaim Freedom: Writing ContestGene Wynholds Icke is not the first, but he may well be the last and most important of the conspiracy researchers who write not for profit but to warn us of our impending enslavement should we fail to halt the progress of the New World Order. By all means, read up on the works of Eustace Mullins, Mae Brussell, Gary Allen, Antony Sutton and Bill Cooper; but, having surveyed the literature myself for many years, I heartily endorse Icke as having the most complete and up-to-date analyses of the tactics employed by these secret society satanists. Knowledge is power; we need this information to a) apprise ourselves of the actual conditions of our oppression, and b) arm ourselves with the means to resist and overthrow the cabal. If we do not rigorously pursue this task of freeing ourselves from bondage to the bankster elites, nothing else we accomplish will be of much value. What is life without freedom? Much ridicule has been directed at DI for insisting that extraterrestrial and interdimensional entities are part and parcel of the attempt to take over the planet. In truth, it matters little whether or not this is the case; the fact remains that an elite core of royal bloodlines, originating in the dim past of prehistory are now poised to establish a one world government, a world army (NATO), a world bank with a single electronic currency, and a microchipped population monitored by a supercomputer. It is difficult to put into words the excitement I feel about this. It is a book that I have been waiting to see for a long, long time. I knew it would come and now it is here. I am practically overwhelmed by the sense of urgency I feel in getting this book to press and into distribution. From the back cover of the same book: Icke reveals the esoteric background to the global conspiracy and offers an inspiring spiritual solution in which every man, woman and child on planet Earth breaks free from the daily programming and takes back their infinite power to think for themselves and decide their own destiny. The aforementioned tome is but the first in a series of books detailing not only the conditions of our oppression, but the spiritual and material means to regain our freedom. I recommend that folks who are new to this information begin with Davids more recent works which are up to date and complete in themselves as to exposing the conspiracy. I say this because I feel time is short and affirmative action is required. Those with the time and resources should, of course, peruse his earlier works also for a more detailed analysis. And there are dozens of excellent videos with David on YouTube which can be seen for free. Once you catch Davids vibe and his drift, I know that you too, like myself, will be astonished by his knowledge, wisdom and clarity in explaining one of the most important subjects confronting us today. Do your part in rescuing this planet and all of humanity from the insane schemes of immoral men who care nothing for the race but only for themselves. As David is fond of reminding us, What were you doing, Daddy, when the New World Order was being put into place?

1	Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood went off on a 22-centimeter-wide, 8-centimeter-deep pothole Wednesday, calling it a 'goddamn disgrace' and a 'real piece of work that's out to make [him] look like a fool.' According to onlookers, an incensed LaHood lit into the pothole located on Baltimore's West Pratt Street for more than 45 minutes, screaming himself hoarse and repeatedly telling the concrete depression that it was 'un-fucking-acceptable' for it to have any sort of pavement erosion at all, let alone enough to a cause bumpy driving experience or a potential flat tire. Sources later confirmed that at one point during the tirade, LaHood got down on both knees and flipped off every crack, crevice, and piece of displaced asphalt in and around the pothole. 'The secretary was not pleased when he was informed of the pothole,' Transportation Department chief of staff Joan DeBoer said of LaHood, who reportedly began his diatribe by walking directly up to the fatigued road surface and asking it straight up who the hell it thought it was, and whether or not it even wanted to be a part of the nation's road system anymore. 'We told him we would take care of it, but he was so angry he got into his car and drove right to Baltimore. He said he wanted to ream out the pothole in person.' Aides say LaHood could be seen shaking with rage when confronting the pothole. 'I would not want to be that pothole right now,' DeBoer added. While the ticked-off LaHood railed against the 3-inch-deep fissure for what he called a complete lack of respect for the country's commuters, roads, and, by extension, LaHood himself, he also referred to the pothole by a range of derogatory names, including cocksucker, dipshit, shitface, wheel whore, and stupid asshole. Accusing the pothole of undermining everything he had been trying to accomplish since his appointment in 2009, the transportation secretary said that it was in 'huge fucking trouble,' and that if it was looking to gain his attention, 'Mission accomplished.' Though he acknowledged some pavement deterioration was bound to occur on his watch, LaHood did not let the Baltimore pothole off the hook, blasting the miniature chasm both for having the nerve to form on a 'rinky-dink' side street, and for being a little bitch that can't even handle 760,000 pounds of traffic per day. LaHood, who at one point had to be held back by an aide when it looked as if he was going to 'haul off and punch' the pothole, added that if the surface abrasion thought for one second it was going to grow larger due to increased moisture in the spring air or greater wheel loads, it 'had another fucking thing coming.' 'He said that maybe the pothole should have to fill its own goddamn self, and that maybe that would teach it a lesson,' said Baltimore resident Dan Jacobs, adding that LaHood then started walking away from the pothole but soon sprinted back and told it that it was completely nuts if it thought it was going to get off that easy. 'He really gave that pothole a piece of his mind.' Sources confirmed that toward the end of his rant, LaHood began to calm down, and, in an attempt to level with the pockmarked roadbed, explained that he wasn't so much angry as he was disappointed. LaHood also admitted there was a chance the stress of his job could have contributed to his outburst, which he noted was not very fair to the pothole. 'You can't be doing this, you know?' an exhausted LaHood was reportedly overheard to say while sitting next to the pothole. 'Especially now when we've got so much going onincreased safety standards, carbon monoxide emissions. Do you know how many more cars are on the road now as opposed to just five years ago? Let's just put it this way: too many. I'm sorry for chewing you out like that in front of everyone, but we all have a part to play, and this transportation system is only as strong as its weakest component. If you help me out, I'll help you out. How's that sound?' 'All right,' he added before dusting of his pants, getting in his car, and driving back to Washington, D.C. 
3	5 Crypto-Currencies Youve Never Heard OfJ.P. Hicks Peer-to-peer digital currencies dont require a central authority or a bank account, they have microscopic transaction fees, are quasi-anonymous and can be used to purchase a growing list of real-world goods and services. However, there is a dilemma to the price of Bitcoin rising too fast. Some say its a bubble, yet as capital controls and the desire for financial anonymity continue to rise around the world, so will Bitcoins value. If it is a bubble, its not likely to burst anytime soon. The real dilemma is why would anyone spend a currency that doubles in value every few months? Bitcoin, at this point, is a good investment but not a great medium of exchange. The success of Bitcoin has spawned a few emerging competing digital currencies into the market that seek to correct some of Bitcoins shortcomings. Modeled after Bitcoins open-source, peer-to-peer format, these new currencies may not be riding Bitcoins coattails much longer as they gain steam in their own right. What are these young crypto currencies? Here are 5 new crypto currencies youve probably never heard of: Litecoin Litecoin (LTC) is quickly becoming the most popular competing digital currency. Litecoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency like Bitcoin but with a scrypt hashing system making it is easier to mine. It trades on multiple exchanges, and a new Silk Road-like free marketplace called Atlantis is being developed exclusively for Litecoin in Tor. Litecoin differs from Bitcoin in that its Scrypt is easier to mine and four times as many Litecoins will be produced (84 million) giving it more room for expansion and a more stable long-term value. Litecoin has risen from about $.25 to nearly $.70 in the last few weeks and is expected to continue climbing as the marketplace for buying goods with Litecoins expands. Get started with Litecoins here. Namecoin Namecoin(NMC) is the only other major competitor to Bitcoin besides Litecoin. Namecoin can be merged mined with BTC, but uses an alternative peer-to-peer domain system. Namecoin differs from Bitcoin in that it allows users to attach information to any given transaction, but is similar in that only 21 million coins will be produced. Namecoins are currently trading at around $.20, or .00226 of a Bitcoin. Get started with Namecoins here. PPcoin PPcoin (PPC) is a P2P digital currency compatible with Bitcoin mining, but it uses an innovative proof-of-stake systemto provide most of the network security instead of proof-of-work like Bitcoin. Security level of the network is not dependent on energy consumption in the long term thus providing an energy efficient and more cost-competitive peer-to-peer crypto-currency, PPCs white paper says. Up to 2 billion PPcoins are currently allowed to be created. PPcoins trade on a few exchanges where its current value is just shy of $.02 and Find out more about PPcoin here. Terracoin Launched in the fall of 2012,Terracoin(TRC) is one of the newest decentralized, person-to-person digital currencies, also modeled after Bitcoins protocol. Twice as many Terracoins (42 million) will be produced as Bitcoins which makes them easier to mine.With Terracoin, only the longest blockchain gets used by the network, thus preventing any malicious nodes making it even more secure. Terracoin trades on multiple exchanges and its current value is around $.092, or .001 Bitcoins. For more info on Terracoin, go here. Devcoin (DVC) is a digital crypto-currency that seeks to spur jobs and innovation. It can be merge-mined with Bitcoins, but the reward for coin generation goes heavily to open-source developers who get 90%, leaving 10% of the bounty for the miner. Besides developers and programmers, Devcoin rewards artists and writers who can earn DVCs for their work innovating the currency. The concept is to provide jobs to anyone who wants to work, payable in Devcoins. Devcoins provide an income for everyone who wants to work, even if they live in an area with more job seekers than jobs, it says on their Wiki page. DVCs currently trade at a fraction of a penny.

3	These 3 Wars Being Waged On Humanity Offer Full Picture Of End GameBy Bernie Suarez As Ive stated many times in the past, humanity is being sifted. Scientists call it survival of the fittest. I describe it as a process of mental and consciousness-related natural selection. The same way that scientists describe natural selection is the same way this consciousness and awareness natural selection works. The scientific natural selection states that its a: process that results in the adaptation of an organism to its environment by means of selectively reproducing changes in its genotype, or genetic constitution. In natural selection, those variations in the genotype that increase an organisms chances of survival and procreation are preserved and multiplied from generation to generation at the expense of less advantageous ones. Evolution often occurs as a consequence of this process. Natural selection may arise from differences in survival, in fertility, in rate of development, in mating success, or in any other aspect of the life cycle. Now if you read the definition of natural selection and insert the words consciousness and awareness as a replacement to the words genotype and genetic constitution youll immediately get where Im going with this. Also, if you consider that consciousness and awareness of the times we live in is easily another aspect of the life cycle then youll see exactly my point here. Were talking survival of the human race, and anyone reading this article who is curious about the times we live in and in the search for truth should see that being informed, aware and conscious of the evil and oppression humanity is under today is now a key component to the survival of the human race. Ask yourself, if humans are conscious creatures with a sense of morality, right versus wrong and a sense of empathy not found in other animals, how can consciousness not be part of the equation that determines whether our species survives? The question then becomes, are we conscious creatures or not? And doesnt that very consciousness appear in the equation determining whether we will survive or not? The answer is absolutely yes! Consciousness is very much a major part of our survival equation. And since it is, let us consider 3 critical wars being waged against humanity that define the globalist end game scenario, and 3 wars that if you can see and properly categorize in your mind for easier recognition could make a difference on whether you live or die. Before I begin I want to say that the beauty of seeing these 3 wars is that it will help you categorize and identify the work of other activists and revolutionaries of our times. Youll be able to see which of these three categories they are fighting for and if your favorite activist is fighting for 2 of these 3 categories or even all 3. If nothing else, understanding these 3 wars being waged against humanity will help you simplify your understanding of the information war we are currently in and it will help you more clearly see the goals of the new world order so that you can more easily pick and choose how you are going to fight them. Now lets examine the 3 wars being waged against humanity: The first of these 3 wars being waged against humanity is a war against nation states. Interestingly, in terms of political parties and the artificial left-right paradigm we see constantly promoted in America, the war against nation states is traditionally led by the Right Wing Republican party. Traditionally that is. Even though both Democrats and Republicans deep down have few differences, the outward war against nation states (at least the rhetoric) is traditionally spearheaded by the Republican party. From the 9/11 false flag attack on America to justify the endless phony war on terror to the creation of Al Qaeda and ISIS and the US militarys, CIAs and the Pentagons ongoing foreign policy of endless war on nation states. The Secretary of State, Intelligence, and military brass have been systematically waging wars by spreading propaganda, arming proxy armies, waging psychological warfare in foreign nations, hiring mercenaries, trading arms with the enemy and much more for decades, all to facilitate the destruction of nation states like they have in Iraq, Sudan, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan and now Syria. Anyone can read the Neocon PNAC plans and see this plan was in place long ago. And anyone can see that the purpose of the NATO alliance is for this very purpose of conquering nation states, globally. We all know about the ongoing illegal foreign wars but you may be wondering what else is being implemented right under our noses to destroy nation states? Much more subtle than outright wars and invasions are things like United NationsAgenda 21 and Agenda 2030 sustainable global living plans. This component of the war against nation states is much more dangerous since it is being implemented by consent. Interestingly, this is where the baton is handed by the Right Wing Republicans to the Left Wing progressive Liberals. Understanding what Im about to say will help you see exactly how the ruling elite use the Left-Right paradigm to perfectly suit all their agendas against humanity. So while the Left is scolding and chastising the Right about its wars of aggression, they gladly pick up the baton and (under the dogma of the global warming lies) call for corporations and people to be responsible for the planet. This is why it is so important to understand the deception behind the climate religion and its vital role in not only the undermining of the nation states but the actual formation of the new world order. Left wing progressives dangerously carry a morality about the climate that frightens the rest of the world in the same way that the Right flaunts their morality about Islamophobia and the need for more wars to destroy the evil doers. Both are wrong, both are based on lies and both please the ruling class since they both contribute to the destruction of nation states and ultimately to the creation of the coming global order which is the end game goal. Both Republicans and Democrats have been giving more and more power to transnational corporations with illegal trade agreements (like the TPP) that undermine national sovereignty. And weve seen the Obama administration open up the borders to illegal aliens under the Left wing morality of equality and refugee care. Immigration is just another way to destroy the integrity of a nation state; and, again, weve seen how ISIS has been used in various ways including to induce more immigration and refugee issues throughout Europe, the Middle East and here in the US. It isnt enough that the ruling elite are destroying nation states and using both the Republicans and Democrats to do it. Then there is the raging war against the individual and individual sovereignty. In the same way that the Republicans have traditionally led the way in the wars that destroy nation states, similarly the Democrats have been leading the way in the war against individual freedom. No presidential administration has waged war against the 2nd Amendment, freedom of speech and individual rights like the Obama administration has. There have been over 160 mass shootings alone during Obamas term, many of them staged crisis actor false flag shootings in a clear attempt to awkwardly and quickly blame gun ownership for these shootings. The attempt to destroy the 2nd Amendment has been so intense and shameless that now crisis actors throughout the United States have to worry about their safety and well being as awakened Americans realize we have traitors and criminals cashing in on public sympathy over the deaths of supposed loved ones who no one has any proof ever died or even existed at any point. The ongoing war against the individual has been illustrated powerfully by the militarization of police and the American police state. The police state flexed its muscles during the Occupy Revolution of 2011 and has not let up since then. Hundreds of Americans are being murdered each year at the hands of police who often get off easy for their actions. The staged Boston bombing event brought us Lockdown and now were seeing today where a snow storm or in some cases a blizzard that wasnt in New York City can now be used as justification for a travel ban which is a type of lockdown where anyone caught in the streets can be fined just for walking in public. This is simply practice for martial law since if someone wants to walk or travel in the snow it is not up to the government to decide if an individual has that right in a free country. Since the Boston bombing crisis actor staged event, weve seen numerous versions of the lockdown where almost any event is used today as an excuse for lockdown including a crime scene, bad weather, Intelligence rumors of possible bomb scares and other events. Today almost anything constitutes a state of emergency. All of these events are opportunities for the state to flex its muscles, intimidate the individuals of the public and strip the individual of his or her rights and sovereignty. Weve also seen where parents have been losing their right to determine what education their children will be exposed to and what medications their children will be subjected to. Medical tyranny somehow has become the norm in just the last 7 years Obama has been in office. For the first time were seeing forced vaccination and the ridiculing and demonization of anyone who believes in medical choice and freedom. Then there is the depopulation agenda at play. One need only look up and see the daily and ongoing geoengineering and chemtrails spraying of our skies that are destroying the planet as the modification of our food system with cancer-causing (GMO) agents. Its no wonder why the individual is now dying at an alarming rate with cancer and many other diseases while the pharmaceutical companies and the medical industrial complex cashes in on your sickness. The war against the individual has been intensified by the private banking system, the IRS and the state. More than ever people are financially enslaved. Today over 40 million Americans are stuck in huge student loan debt, many cannot afford to pay these loans and none of them saw it coming. Many Americans are slaves to these creditors who never had that money to begin with but will harass, collect and garnish your wages if you dont pay. Whos laughing now? Legislation to restrict travel freedom within the US has already been passed. Under the guise of being on their terror watch list, the state can now revoke your passport. And this travel restriction agenda is being further worked on as the IRS seeks to confiscate the passports of travelers they determine owe a certain amount in taxes. As we will see again this year in 2016, voting rights are non-existent when a corrupt political system can fraudulently determine who the next president will be. Not only have individual rights to vote been undermined the way Agenda 21 undermines national sovereignty, but as we see in both cases the outer shell remains in place making people think that the function (of nation states or the election process) still works. All of these takeovers are happening subtly and slowly, which is why we must sound the alarm about these first two wars (on nation states and individuals) that are happening simultaneously and in a coordinated fashion. As mentioned above, the two-front war is being waged by BOTH the Left and the Right. For this reason those that are still stuck in the Left-Right paradigm may find that truth seekers, liberty lovers (or conspiracy theorists) may agree with them partially or some of the times on some issues but not on most issues. Thats because both sides indeed have some truth to what they believe but neither sees the greater picture. And neither political party wants to admit to the greater plan for a new world order. This brings us to the third and possibly most important war being waged against humanity. The 3rd war we are seeing manifest today may be the most important of all the wars because it is an attempt to block the knowledge of the first 2 wars and to destroy the messenger. Its the war on Truth itself and the very search for truth. Today we are seeing a growing attack on the search for truth as I mentioned in a previous article. We are now seeing truth seekers demonized and attacked to the point of losing their jobs (like professor James Tracy) just for asking questions and confronting crisis actors about their claims which if proven to be lies constitute a very serious federal crime. Were seeing where activist websites (like MemoryHoleBlog.com) have had their PayPal accounts terminated admittedly due to the nature of your activities. I want readers to know this is not an attack against the individual as much as it is an attack against the very search for truth. Now more than ever it is easier to brand someone radical or extremist for simply questioning mainstream media breaking news. We saw that at Sandy Hook when treasonous traitor Lt Paul Vance threatened truth-seeking Americans not to question the initial narrative of the Sandy Hook hoax and he was never indicted for this crime against the freedom to ask questions and search for truth. We also have seen where a book revealing that nobody died at Sandy Hook was banned by Amazon and the nationwide media. Here in Los Angeles where I live we recently saw a major truth group infiltration where suspected operatives attempted to take over the narrative of the group to sell government propaganda and official story lies about 9/11. When they were called out by the entire group, they then kicked out truth seekers from the group including the assistant organizer who were accused of disrupting their disinformation. The operatives then continued revealing the new truth and condemned or ridiculed anyone who thinks there is such a think as a new world order, false flags or global agenda. I suspect this was not an isolated incident since it mysteriously coincided with the news that former TalkNetwork.com host Rebekah Roth may have been fully exposed as a government plant to infiltrate the 9/11 Truth movement. News that shocked many truth seekers including yours truly as many of us thought she was believable. You decide for yourself. None of this should surprise anyone who understands the war against truth that is now very real and must not be ignored. There is a plan already in play to criminalize anyone who tries to expose the new world order or any of its players. The line between activist and terrorist is getting thinner and thinner. Following the Paris false flag attacks we saw legislation in New York to create a new division within the NYPD to deal with terrorism AND demonstrations. When its all said and done this war against truth itself is the ultimate battleground by which all activists will be tested. Everyone has to decide which side of truth they will stand and how far they are willing to go standing for truth. Now its time to come together and understand each other. Left, Right and Center. Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Anarchists and plain ole truth seekers. Ive stated many times there is a huge difference between the Truth movement and the Liberty movement. They often sound the same but they are not the same. More than ever it is important to understand each other. More than ever we need objectivity. This is why its so important to ask someone key questions before you engage in political discussion or current event issues. Try to ask the person, do you believe in objectivity or do you believe there is such a thing as objective truth? When a person doesnt believe in objective truth, theres your first problem. It is impossible to get at something that you dont believe in. For without truth or some concept of what you think truth is, youll never reach a consensus of what is happening in the world. Weve discussed the Left-Right paradigm and how the involved parties are purposely skewed for the agenda of the ruling elite. Without both the Left and the Right acknowledging this model it is nearly impossible to get at the root of the problem we face. Libertarians on the other hand care about freedom and thats great. However if you only care about freedom then lies CAN be introduced in a way that appears to promote freedom. Well meaning Libertarians are often susceptible to military intelligence propaganda which may suggest things that are designed to point to an engineered external threat that is not true and intended to rally your support for more military action. Whereas truth seekers are not married to any one ideology other than the suspicion of government lies, propaganda and the search for truth. Nothing less than establishing a forum, a platform or an open source narrative that forces people to see the overall picture of how the different activists and political persuasions fit into this 3-front war being waged against humanity will work at getting us closer to a concrete solution. In this election year of 2016, now is the time for people to see their own political party persuasion for what it is before its too late. Now is the time to see truth for what it is before its too late and before truth seekers are fully persecuted. Only then will you be able to see that there is a war against Truth itself. People on both the Left, Right and Center are willing and able to identify either the war against nation states and or the war against the individual for various reasons, and that is a good thing. But when will we all see that these wars are all working together with the war on truth itself in order to give birth to a global order of enslavement? This new world order I speak of is the grand prize. And anyone still acting as a partial activist fighting for only one cause, supporting your favorite party while ignoring the other important causes may find that your efforts may be in vain. I realize that some people specialize in bringing one specific topic to the general public and theres nothing wrong with that. However, we must all see the overall battlefield for what it is. The time is now to see the big picture or risk losing it all. See the 3-front war for the war is coming to you whether you welcome it or whether you realize it or not.

His new book is available: The Art of Overcoming The New World Order Once awakened to a full consciousness of the Immortal principle within, and no longer terrified to see the destruction of all What are you talking about??? Not you, if you have to ask. Obviously. Do you have a clue what yeshua Immanuel is talking about? If so, why not just enlighten we, the unwashed masses, instead of speaking in riddles? How does this contribute to the topic at hand the wars against humanity? Oh, it doesnt. Peace. Cultural marxism. Great article Bernie. D-O-M-E-S-T-I-C E-N-E-M-I-E-S. Sugar Feeds Cancer and Doctors feed Children on Chemo milkshakes and other sweets too Get there Energy up and food into them. You people truly have no idea just how dark and deep the Rabbit hole really is. Foods/Drinks that Promote Disease ,lower IQ in our hospitals and schools. The Rich can Afford Private schools and Private hospitals where they wont be treated like the peasant class. you guys need to start to think and read older books, because a lot of knowledgeable people whom, have been researching for decades have red flags shoot up when you use the term new world order. one starts to wonder if your just in the jones camp(anyone with background knows he is on the payroll, because of his endless contradictions and his early videos where he walked into some of the most secure locations on earth and wasnt taken into custody). 3/4 of the truth movement is people on the payroll. the new world order was an idea created by the banking cartell in the 1800s to get the world enslaved to them through debt. depending on ones perspective, this went into effect in 1913 with banks taking over the american money supply or after stalin killed lenin and trotsky and created his partnership with the bankers to plunder russia. at this point all the world was under the new world order, rule by the bankers. everyone has been slaves since then and until people leave the cave in mass, they will get the outcome they chose. remember orwell worked for the mod in the very position his book was about. it was called 1984, as an inside joke, that it was about what was already happening in1948. name one aspect of the modern world that isnt designed to enslave Alex Jones is definitely a disinformation agent; Glenn Beck; many, many others. However, the whole New World Order plan is a LOT older than the 1800s. Once the Industrial Revolution came along, that just created more tools to speed up the takeover. A few good ones to read (some of the information in at least one is a little dated, but the theme hasnt changed) The World Conquerors; Ponerology; Cracking the Code 3rd Editionthere are others, but I cant currently bring them to mind on the spot. They are quite eye-opening. Anything by Dr. Henry Makow, too, is quite credible. The overall theme of divide and conquer and problem-reaction-solution hasnt altered one iota over perhaps several thousands of years. The only thing thats really changed are the shiny new tool sets they get to play with against usthat we paid for. Ugh, it sometimes gets me hopping madwhich accomplishes nothing. Ugh. Peace. William Cooper, whom I believe was indeed a true patriot, started out questioning whether Alex Jones was for real. The PTB laid out their plans in 1822 in with the Secret Treaty of Verona Will Bill Cooper was the man, for sure! Ive got many of his videos, the Book Behold a Pale Horse, and I used to listen to his radio show from time to time. Truth tellers like him are so few and far between. when i mentioned the NWO i was speaking of the specific plan created by the banking cartel in the 1800s , that they would get all the countries indebted to the banks. once this happend they would be able to control everyone through debt. yes you are correct the two factions that control the world have been doing these things for thousands of years. they controlled rome , the turks, and pretty much everyone. no one ever mentions them by name though, other than an obscure australian website that was one of the early websites. ive only seen one author (lame cherry)outside of nexxus mention them by name. i dont even think the website exists anymore. good luck Another reason to read older books is that the PTB / NWO is in the process cleaning the digital media so that it is becoming untrustworthy. The only trustworthy sources are the printed official/certified Congressional Records etc. Or the actual laws in the records. Etc. Think Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The day of The right wing has taken over the role of questioning authority and it will lead them to greater things. I dont know why the left stopped policing their own ranks.my best guess would be Marxism. Remember, the right/left political paradigm is really a sham. Over the course of, say, the last three decades, the so-called right has come more and more to the left, even to the point that anything even middle of the road is seemingly a threat to the political power monopoly. This country was never meant to be a democracy, but a Representative Republic. Hasnt been one for at least half this countrys life. It has devolved into a Democracy, which is really a soft form of Communism/Socialism, and the left/right paradigm just spreads the illusion of choice. Say Marxism at its shiniest. Really, though, what choices do we have? We have establishment figures picked by people with names weve never heard, putting them out on displayand we get to vote for one of them? Thats really just asking the slaves which slave master theyd rather have instead of freedom. Both parties, absolutely controlled, strive for the same target but go about it somewhat differently. For instance, the far-left promotes every single family destroying bit of filth (sexual perversions, endless immigration and whatnot) as if its normal human behavior and needs to be protected; the far-right, in theory, would build walls to keep the world out (except for trade) and bomb everybody else. Have any of our so-called leaders asked any one of us if these are the things we want to spend our taxes and such on? No. So any discussion about left/right policing themselves or whos good or whos bad among them should just be relegated to the trash bin and emptied stat. All these phony debates (simply political theatre) are meant to distract and divide so we dont have any idea whats going on behind the curtain. Peace. The following is my opinion for entertainment value only: The left and right are just fictional groups artificially created by the PTB / NWO to divert energies that would better serve the people were it used to analyze what is really going on in our currently dysfunctional society. The Republicans of the Civil War era are the Democrats of today [fancy that]. The wars being created are more than just military based. We also have: The War On Poverty (government policies have destroyed our economy); The War On Drugs (drugs provided by the CIA, etc.); The War Against Racism (created by the CIA, etc.) and etc.! These fictitious declarations of war keep the people off-balance and divided and also help to keep the people, actually the US Citizens, that is, under The Trading With The Enemy Act of 1917 (TWEA) with its 1933 amendments hidden in the Emergency Banking Relief Act of 1933 created by socialist Emperor Roosevelt. TWEA is in effect as long as there exists a condition of declared war or declared national emergency. We have continuously been under TWEA since 1933. Of course the groundwork for this was the 1868 14th Amendment where US Citizens ( new class of citizenship) were made slaves by Section-1 of that amendment AND the 10 square mile constitutionally created United States was incorporated to become the United States Corporation in 1871. So now we have two possibilities for citizenship private American National citizenship of the American Republic and public United States citizenship under the United States Corporation. As a private American National you are subject to real law, English / American common-law and English equity NOT the statutes nor policies. Whereas, as a corporate citizen you are subject to statutes, policies, etc. and have no protection by the Constitution. A United States citizen since 1933 IS an enemy, belligerent rebel (by their definition) and therefor subject to the military jurisdiction where the Constitution no longer applies to them in a time of war or emergency. A United States Citizen IS the enemy! and that is the way you are treated if you are one (just go and observe what happens in these administrative hearings they call courts [of law, they are NOT]. They are there to shear the sheeple. in almost every case the judge will sorborne purgery from Under The Constitution for the united States of America, the constitution of the American Republic, the people have the right of UNLIMITED contract! When someone askes you Are you a US Citizen? most will answer YES! and by so doing they have just agreed to their status as a slave. Do YOU have a drivers license? A registered vehicle? .A marriage license? A bank account? A credit card? All incorporate contracts! And that is only the beginning, not even the tip of the iceberg. We ALL exist in the MATRIX. What Jake is talking about is that a great deal of the alternative media has already been compromised by TPTB. Alex Jones; Glenn Beck; Stew Webb, etc., are on the payroll in that they are either paid disinformation agents, or they are absolutely controlled opposition. Many will not speak up on the REAL topics, such as the Zionist influence, or just blatantly steer away from the real threats to humanity. Many of them continue to promote false ideologies, such as man-made climate change, or point a lot of fingers at Muslim terrorists without pointing their fingers at the REAL culprits. Anyway, thats what I think Jakes saying. Peace. thank you, people understand, like we saw with ron paul after the one primary he gave one of the greatest speeches i had ever heard, right up to the very end when he slipped up and blamed 2008(50- 100 trillion dollars in mbs derivitives, when their is only 11 trillion in total US real estate) on the poor, many of whom shouldnt have gotten loans, and others who were scammed. that is when i stopped supporting him. they didnt get loans in total of the entire market. if we dont have the strength, for a ghandi style revolution(remember the british killed them by the hundreds of thousands), the real problems will never be solved Many of the gurus are just place-holders who disseminate just enough truth to keep anyone else from taking over that particular niche; that way they control enough of the information to maintain control. Even Ron Paul is evidently a Knight of Malta. Indeed, Ron Paul was almost about as close to the real deal as they comeor so it seemed. He speaks a LOT of truth, but indeed he is controlled opposition and a high degree Freemason/Knight of Maltawhich, in general, means he cant be trusted. Its a shame. 
3	What Americans are afraid ofBy Melissa Dykes Or perhaps you will. Americans are more afraid of their own corrupt government than ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ELSE including death, rape, murder, nuclear war, pandemics, terrorism, zombies, and even clowns. What an amazingly sad statement on modern America and the times we are living in. The survey can be found here. Are Americans today afraid of criminals with guns or a government that would seek to disarm its citizens? The impositions of the system now rank higher among worry than hyped factors like terrorism with distrust at very high levels among citizens and consumers alike. People are becoming disconnected from the wealth and prosperity they once knew, and instead are facing a collapsing system that wishes to loot from its populace as the ship goes down. Dearly held rights in the American tradition are under threat today of vanishing, of being upended by a machine with secret designs. Corporate schemers, conniving bankers and corrupt government insiders are driving perpetual wars, a damaged economy, disappearing jobs and diminishing chances of achieving the American dream.

The cycle of voting for the best prison warden into office has to end in order for meaningful progress to begin. Also the sale and development of appropriate technologies has to be regulated by people with compassion not collectors of paychecks. The fear of communism,socialism and Muslim invaders. All other things will fall into line once we stand up for our freedoms and recoup our beloved land The United States of America What americans are most afraid of is reality itself. If it were not for such cowardice there would not be any tyrannical and criminal government that is out of control and oppressive towards its own citizens. Well said. And, its the same here in Australia. You can be arrested and fined for just about anything here. No vaccination? No money! Its a disgrace and im the one being laughed at when i speak up. For people like us, isolation is the tool used to bash us with. Americans need to realise, too, that this is a global thing. We are all in this together, not just the USA! Our government are puppets to the same masters as your lot Most Australians are dopes. Speaking to dopes and then having them laugh at you is meaningless. Putting it another way, imagine a herd of cattle laughing at you? Do you care? All you should think about is which one will be tonights dinner and what sauce you should use. How do I know all this? Im Australian. Cheers, Dickie! Im not worried about the corruption what concerns me is how to throw out the dirt. Authority: The most dangerous superstition. 
1	Close friends of Orlando 'El Duque' Hernandez explained to the Mets pitcher Tuesday that, despite his team's attempts to get him to alter his unconventional delivery to alleviate the stress placed on his right push-off foot, Hernandez is great the way he is and should not have to change anything about his mechanics just to fit in on the Mets roster. 'If the Mets don't want you to be their fifth starter, that's their loss,' Hernandez's longtime friend Bob Cohn, 52, reportedly told the pitcher Tuesday. 'Your windup is great. It's unique, it's quirky, it's flashy without being pretentiousOrlando, it's you.' Cohn and Hernandez's other friends, however, later went on to suggest that maybe Hernandez might want to try possibly abandoning his high leg kick, 'just to show a different side of yourself, you know?' 
2	Obama Is Appointing A New Supreme Court Justice, Youll Hate Him Even More When You See Who... Earlier this week, Associate Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia passed away. At first, he was said to have died of natural causes. However, the man who found him has recently come forward saying he found him with a pillow over his head. Investigations are taking place, and it is unsure what the real cause of death was. Obama has decided to go forward with selecting a new Supreme Court Justice. Many want him to hold off and let the next president decide, so that it is more a choice of the people. However, he has narrowed his list down 7 people. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is at the front of the list. Other possibilities include Sri Srinivasan, Paul Watford, David Barron, Merrick Garland, and Patricia Ann Millett. If Obama chooses the Justice, it is sure to be a liberal. Do you think he should wait for the next president to decide? 
1	Steven Woods, a claims adjuster with Midland Insurance and coach of the Midland Maniacs fantasy basketball team, announced Monday that he is 'deeply saddened' by the sexual-assault allegations leveled against his team's star guard, Kobe Bryant. Woods prepares a statement of support for Bryant (right) before leaving for work. 'I can't believe this is the same Kobe I've worked with all these years,' Woods said at a breakroom press conference. 'I've won two Midland Fantasy Basketball League championships with him. He's always handled himself with such class, both on and off the court.' 'Obviously, Kobe has my full support during this difficult time,' Woods added. Bryant, 24, is charged with sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman at a resort in Colorado. If convicted, he faces four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation. Woods acknowledged that he was shaken by news of the allegations. 'I don't know what to think,' Woods said. 'Kobe's shown himself to be nothing but a responsible team member, ever since I took him in the 1996 Midland office draft. That was all the way back when we still figured everyone's rank on paper in a big blue binder.' 'I thought I was getting a character player with solid stats,' Woods continued. 'For years, he never let me down. Last season, he was averaging 30 ppg and 5.9 apg. And now this?' 'You expect this of the [Allen] Iversons and [Latrell] Sprewells of the league,' said Woods, alluding to Iverson's firearms charge and a 1997 incident in which Sprewell choked his coach. 'But Kobe... I thought I knew him.' Since the allegations were made, Woods has followed the case by frequently logging on to the NBA's fantasy-basketball web page. 'One thing's for sure,' Woods said. 'Bryant is innocent until proven guilty, and I stand by my pretend player.' Kobe Bryant 'Still, this sort of thing makes us question who our fantasy players really are,' Woods said. 'Kelly at the front desk has a Kobe replica jersey. I have a souvenir card with a scrap of his game-worn shorts on it.' Bryant's Midland Maniacs teammatesincluding Ray Allen, Vlade Divac, and Keith Van Hornhave yet to comment on the allegations. 'This is going to be tough on everyone who works with Kobe,' Woods said. 'There's no way a scandal like this is not going to affect the picks in next year's Yahoo! Sports Fantasy NBA competition.' Throughout the informal conference, Woods downplayed his needs as a fantasy-team coach and returned the attention of those assembled to Bryant and his family. 'This going to be a difficult time for Kobe and [his wife] Vanessa,' Woods said. 'I urge everyone to show some restraint. Let's give them some room.' In spite of Woods' entreaties, his fantasy coaching peers were outspoken in their criticisms of both Woods and Bryant. 'This is just what Steve needed,' said Clarence Rispert, Midland Insurance policy manager and coach of the two-time division-champion Desk Demons. 'Just a few weeks ago, he was acting all cocky about me signing Grant Hill right before [Hill] busted his ankle all to hell. Well, look who's crying now.' Midland Fantasy Basketball League commissioner and claims-department manager James DeMille refused to comment directly on the Bryant allegations. 'I plan to comply with any disciplinary action [NBA commissioner] David Stern takes,' DeMille said. 'Unfortunately, dealing with distasteful situations like this one has become a part of the reality of fantasy sports. Now, everyone, get back to work. The phones are ringing off the hook out there.' Although the pressures of his impending trial may hinder Bryant's performance on the court, Woods has decided that Bryant will play for the Maniacs when the NBA season opens Oct. 28. 'I just wouldn't feel right benching Kobe at a time like this,' Woods said. 'I think the best thing I can do is let him play basketball and hope for the best. I have to admit, though, that it would be pretty hard to see the Desk Demons claim the Midland Fantasy League title and all those Outback Steakhouse gift certificates two years in a row.' Bryant was unavailable for comment on Woods' show of support. 
3	American Sniper has warped fragile little mindsBy Adam Kokesh 
1	Tara Reid's agent, publicist, and other members of her management team are working feverishly to avert a potential political awakening in the 26-year-old actress, sources reported Tuesday. Tara Reid 'Thus far, Tara has been blissfully oblivious to world affairs,' said Rick Stein, Reid's agent at International Creative Management. 'But we must remain ever-vigilant of the possibility that, as her star continues to rise, she will develop a political consciousness like so many others in Hollywood.' 'As bad as she is, could you imagine if, during an interview for a new movie, she started going off on saving the animals or ending world hunger or something?' Stein said. 'So long as she's my client, I will do everything in my power to ensure that this never happens.' The star of such films as American Pie, Josie And The Pussycats, and National Lampoon's Van Wilder, Reid is a fixture on the L.A. party circuit. She also achieved a measure of notoriety in tabloids and on gossip pages last year following her broken engagement to MTV VJ Carson Daly. Though there is no indication that Reid takes an interest in politics or current events, or is even registered to vote, Stein and his associates are keeping an eye out for telltale signs of nascent awareness of social issues. 'I was having lunch with Tara the other day, and she told me she was thinking of becoming a vegetarian,' said Libby Winters, Reid's publicist. 'I thought, 'Oh, fuck[personal assistant] Kimberly [Braterman] didn't screen Tara's mail thoroughly and let a PETA mass-mailing slip through.' So I casually asked Tara where she got that idea. She said she was at a party with [socialite] Paris Hilton, and Paris told Tara that her boyfriend said her pussy juice tasted better after she quit eating red meat. I can't tell you how relieved I was.' Winters went on to note that while Reid frequently practices yogawidely regarded as a 'gateway exercise' to spiritual and political awarenessthe activity has not had any such effect. Reporting regularly to Reid manager Kevin Adrian, members of the actress' entourage are under strict orders not to expose Reid to politically suggestive material. They have also been instructed to inform Adrian of any action or remark which may indicate an emergent social consciousness on the part of Reid, however embryonic or misdirected. Reid's hairstylist, Frederic Chukka, recently became alarmed when she asked him if the hairspray he was using was 'environmentally friendly.' Tara Reid and model/socialite Paris Hilton at a Sean John fashion show in New York. 'At first, I didn't know what to say,' Chukka said. 'I stammered something about the government banning all that fluorocarbon stuff in the '70s. Tara gave me this look like she didn't quite believe me. I said to myself, 'Think fast, Frederic, if you want to do her hair for next year's Golden Globes.'' Continued Chukka: 'So I said to Tara, 'Even if they didn't ban all that stuff, no one cares besides a couple of ugly, mousy hippie bitches who are just jealous of rock-star babes like you. You deserve to shine, sweetheart. Besides, I can't think of a better product to give you that just-been-fucked look.' She just nodded.' The handlers' vigilance has extended into Reid's acting choices. Adrian said he encourages his client to play mainly sexy, lighthearted, apolitical roles. As an added measure, he counts on Reid's personal assistant, Kimberly Braterman, to ensure that the on-set environment is politics-free. 'There was a lot of concern when she was cast in Dr. T And The Women,' Braterman said. '[Director Robert] Altman is known for his subversive, countercultural views, and [co-star] Richard Gere is a passionate advocate for Tibetan independence. It was a dangerous situation to put her in, but by keeping Tara's trailer far away from Richard's and by frequently pulling her off the set for premieres, press junkets, and racy pictorials for Stuff magazine and Maxim, we managed to shield her from any potential indoctrination.' One Hollywood celebrity who has openly condemned Reid's handlers is actress Jaime Pressly, star of Joe Dirt and Tomcats. 'It is just so unfair,' Pressly said. 'Because of her control-freak handlers, Tara will never learn of the joys and rewards of political awareness. Since my own awakening last year, I feel so much more full of knowledge and awareness, and I think celebrities should use their fame to educate the public about important issues. Like, for example, did you know that women in Pakistine have to be buried alive with their dead husbands, whether they want to or not? That is so wrong.' Added Pressly: 'Oh, and by the way, milk is nothing but liquid meat.' 
1	As part of a comprehensive league-wide policy change going into effect immediately, the NFL officially announced a new rule Monday aimed at protecting quarterbacks from any blatant and especially brutal criticism. This has quickly become a greater issue in the sport as a whole, so we have taken steps to ensure that a teams quarterback cannot under any circumstances be hit with criticism deemed to be severe or in any way excessive, the league said in a statement, which went on to explain that considerable penalties and fines will be imposed upon anyone who decries a quarterbacks high interception rate or inability to make key third-down completions. A passer can no longer be slammed by the media in the aftermath of a loss, and the ban on attempts to disparage a quarterbacks questionable composure and decision-making in the pocket will also be strictly enforced. There is simply no place for this type of behavior in our league. The statement also clarified that while NFL officials are currently contemplating similar guidelines for wide receivers, such protections will not apply to any players on defense. 
1	Sources confirmed Friday that what college recruiter Jeff Watters is currently doing will be the subject of a massive NCAA investigation in five years. Whats happening right now with that top recruit will likely be the focal point of a seven-part expos in Sports Illustrated and several days worth of intense SportsCenter coverage in the near future, said one anonymous source, only specifying that the impermissible dealings include promises of temporary gifts for the player and the realization that his high school coach would be a perfect candidate for the universitys newly vacant Director of Player Personnel position. The envelope he just handed that high school senior will be the smoking gun at the end of a long trail of subpoenaed bank statements and one-on-one interviews with other recruits and players. All of this will be denied by everyone involved and NCAA personnel will spend months, possibly years, sorting through the details. The unnamed source added that the entire investigation and sentencing will take place after both the star player and Watters have left the colleges football program. 
1	Navigating through a barrage of new windows and dialog boxes as he attempted to watch a game between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks, sources confirmed Wednesday evening that local man Matt Spriggs successfully fought off pop-up ads on live streaming site Sideline2U.eu with finely tuned, surgical precision. Reportedly undeterred by the message at the bottom of his screen insisting that he install a JavaScript plug-in to continue, the 25-year-old carefully wielded his cursor with pinpoint accuracy while repeatedly locating and clicking the correct red X buttons amidst an onslaught of deceptive Cancel and Close Window options. According to sources, Spriggs was fully aware that a miscalculation by even a fraction of an inch would result in numerous other windows opening all over his screen, but nonetheless continued methodically shutting down ads for AdultFriendFinder.com and Mac cleaner software that had suddenly emerged behind his browser and begun loudly playing audio. At press time, after coming face-to-face with a buffering live video of Canal Plus Sports, Spriggs steeled himself, clicked a link for a different streaming option, and once again plunged fearlessly into the utter chaos that awaited him. 
1	Hit hard by the recession and the aftermath of Sept. 11, American Airlines has received some much-needed assistance from a friendly giant named Urno. 'Urno has been of enormous help to us, mostly by picking up planes and running them to their destinations to cut fuel expenses,' American Airlines president Donald Carty said Monday. 'He also helps wash our dirty planes by dipping them into lakes and rivers.' Carty said he has strongly discouraged Urno from swatting rival airlines' planes out of the sky, but 'sometimes, he just won't listen.'

2	Michelle Obama SLAMMED With Massive Lawsuit For Doing THIS Could this be true? Could an Obama actually be held accountable for their actions? Absurd! According to recent reports, Judicial Watch has just filed a lawsuit against First Lady Michelle Obama for her lavish spending of American taxpayer dollars. According to reports, the conservative group has be trying to obtain credit card records, but has been consistently blocked by the Obama administration. The group first went after records in 2011, following Michelles trip to Africa, which seemed to be walking a thin line between business and pleasure. Now, theyre targeting her trip to Spain, which doesnt appear to be business-related at all. The trip was taken in 2010, and Michelle brought one of her daughters along. They were also accompanied by two friends and four of their daughters, as well as a couple of aides and a couple of advance staff members. The Obamas insist that they paid for their own trip, but are adamantly refusing to provide any proof of that. What do you think? Are you sick of the Obamas taking advantage of the American people? Do we deserve to know the truth?

2	Clinton Foundation May Have To Close Down... Hillary Panicking Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was stunned when she lost the election to her opponent Donald Trump. That might have been an all time low for herthat is, until donation reports for the Clinton Foundation were released. The Daily Caller recently reported that the foundations third quarter report revealed it only got five new donors during that time. This was likely devastating news to Hillary, who now depends on the foundation keeping her afloat. The Los Angeles Times reported that one of the new donors is the Banc of California, which has been rocked by allegations that it is connected to a convicted con artist. The bank was recently forced to admit to the SEC that they delayed their third quarter report in an effort to allow for completion of a review into certain purported improper relationships and related party transactions. The bank reportedly donated between $1 and 5 million to the Clinton Foundation. Another new donor is British banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, part of one of the wealthiest and most secretive families in the world. The Rothschilds have been fundraising for the Clintons for decades, and once held a $100,000 per head dinner for Hillary at their estate in Marthas Vineyard. Other donors included Dominican billionaire Frank Rainieri, Michael Sacks, a close friend of Rahm Emmanuel, and eccentric billionaire Bobby Sager. What do you think? Are people finally losing faith in the Clintons? 
1	In an announcement that has electrified the music world, the Chicago Bears Shufflin' Crew confirmed Monday that it is reuniting and will soon begin work on its first new material since the seminal 1985 'Super Bowl Shuffle' single. The Chicago Bears Shufflin' Crew Confirming the recent swirl of music-industry rumors regarding a possible reunion, Shufflin' Crew lead singer Willie Gault told reporters: 'After nearly 12 years of solo gigs and side projects, we decided it was time for us to work together again.' Gault went on to strongly deny rumors that the Crew was returning to the studio looking for trouble. 'We didn't come here looking for trouble,' Gault said. 'We just came to record the long-awaited follow-up to the 'Super Bowl Shuffle.'' According to Shufflin' Crew member William 'Refrigerator' Perry, he, Gault and punky QB Jim McMahon have already sketched out rough demo versions of 10 to 15 songs, which will, over the next two months, be fleshed out in the studio with producer Steve Albini. Perry said fans should expect the new album to be 'darker and more introspective' than the group's 'Shuffle'-era work. '[The new album] will definitely reflect our maturation as a group and as individuals,' said Perry, who may be large but is no dumb cookie. 'Back then, we were young, wild and arrogant: Jim [McMahon] had his spiked hair, shades and controversial, message-bearing headbands, and I had my legendary eating exploits and rushing touchdowns. We kind of had this attitude like, 'We're so bad, we know we're good, blowing your mind like we knew we would.' But while the new record will still have that trademark Shufflin' Crew swagger, it will also show our more reflective side.' All of the original Shufflin' Crew members are expected to participate in the reunion except Otis Wilson, who told Spin magazine in a recent interview that his 'heart just isn't in it anymore.' 'Back when the group first started, we were just struttin' for fun,' Wilson said. 'But once we hit it big, everything changed. Suddenly, there were business meetings, publicity appearances, video shoots, sponsorship deals. Before long, it wasn't about the music anymore. That's when I knew I had to get out.' Numerous names have circulated as possible Wilson replacements, ranging from former Poco bassist Jim Messina to former Bengals running back Ickey Woods. 'Otis has made his decision, and we respect that. It will be difficult, but we must go on as a band without him,' Shufflin' Crew co-founder Walter Payton said. Added Payton: 'Running the ball is like making romance.' While the album is still months from completion, the Shufflin' Crew tried out some of the new material at an unannounced gig at Chicago's Lounge Ax music club last Friday. Response from the sold-out crowd was overwhelmingly positive. 'They sounded really good, really tight, man,' said die-hard fan Jeff Rampling of Des Plaines, IL, who estimated he has been to over 250 Shufflin' Crew shows. 'Once they got warmed up, they were rocking like vintage '85 Crew.' 'They kicked some serious ass tonight,' said Don Frischman, lead singer for Four-Six Defense, a Chicago-area Shufflin' Crew tribute band. 'Richard Dent still blows me away live.' In negotiating terms for the new album with Geffen Records, the Shufflin' Crew made one demand: complete creative control over the project. 'We made it clear that under no circumstances would we allow participation by the female referee who twice blew a whistle over our singers' attempts to say the word 'ass' during the 'Shuffle' sessions,' backup vocalist Steve Fuller said. 'The Bears traffic in the truth, and either you can handle it or you can't. Censorship is slavery.' Expected to hit stores in early November, the new album will be followed by a world tour beginning February 1999. All proceeds from both the album and tour will go toward charity. 'I want to stress that we are not doing this because we're greedy,' Payton said. 'The Bears are doing this to feed the needy.' One of the most successful American bands of the mid-'80s, the Shufflin' Crew broke up in May 1986 due to creative differences and infighting, particularly between Gault and keyboardist Gary Fencik. Gault embarked on a solo career in 1987 and scored a minor hit with the song 'Chocolate Swirl (That's What I'm As Smooth As),' but never equaled the success he had with the Shufflin' Crew. Fencik and Fuller went on to form the band Touchback with New York Giants wide receiver Phil McConkey. 'After so many years apart, it feels good to be back together again,' Gault said. 'But most of all, I'm happy for all the Bears Shufflin' Crew fans out there. You guys are the reason we're shufflin' on down. We're doin' it for you.' 
3	MI Congressional Candidate: Investigate 9/11, ChemtrailsBrandon Turbeville Few of these candidates, however, bear a resemblance to Rick Strawcutter, a congressional candidate running on the U.S. Taxpayer Party ticket for the 7th district of the U.S. House of Representatives in Michigan. Both a pastor and a natural doctor by trade, Strawcutter has pastored the Church on Bent Oak Hwy for 38 years and holds a degree in Holistic Nutrition and a doctorate in Naturopathy. He is also the founder of Secrets of Eden, a natural healing products distribution company. Strawcutter is also one of the few political candidates that has had the courage to call for an investigation of 9/11 and the practice of geo-engineering, also known as chemtrails. In regards to the former issue, Strawcutters website states that he will, While Strawcutters position on 9/11 is bound to cause controversy with mainstream media outlets, establishment politicians, and the portion of Americans who are unaware of the facts surrounding the attacks, his candidacy might very well bring much needed attention to the issue for those who may be unfamiliar with the information. Such potential for controversy is also the case with his position on chemtrails. Strawcutters About section of his website states, Among Strawcutters 15 platform points is his statement of unwavering support for the Second Amendment. Strawcutter states that he supports the Complete and unfettered right to keep and bear arms. Which includes open carry and carrying concealed. His website also adds Strawcutter also states his support for the right of unfettered free speech, and the decriminalization of drug use. He opposes the use of the United States military in aggressive combat operations overseas that benefit international banksters and oil barons. In his promotional video, Strawcutter can be seen standing on an Adrian, Michigan street corner holding campaign signs with his volunteers as cars can be heard honking as they pass by. Strawcutter says that people in the area are very supportive of his campaign. Whats my campaign? asks Strawcutter. Well, basically just tell the government, Shove it! And Leave us alone! and Quit ruining our lives! Strawcutter continues by saying, I mean we have had enough with IRS scandals and VA scandals and NSA spying scandals and now its come to light that theres these fake cell towers. Who knows what theyre for? But its probably the government doing more spying on us. Weve had it! I mean, enough is enough already! Strawcutter has no illusions about his chances against his well-funded opponents, Incumbent Republican Tim Walberg and Democratic challenger Pam Byrnes. However, he intends for his campaign to send a clear message. Strawcutter states, If you vote for Rick Strawcutter for Congress . . . I may not be able to win this but every single vote you place in my favor will send a message to Washington and the rest of the United States that We The People are ready for third party action, were abandoning Republicans and Democrats. Cmon. They have had their chance. In the end, Strawcutters website slogan says it all. Never waste your vote! Always vote third party.

1	Admitting separately that they couldnt wait to get the ordeal over with, local sixth-grader Ethan Metcalfe and his grandfather Gerald Sonenberg expressed an equal level of dread to reporters Tuesday regarding their upcoming collaboration on Metcalfes middle school family tree project. Boy, I really dont want to do thisI always feel so uncomfortable whenever Im around him, said Metcalfe, echoing the exact statements of his grandfather, who like the 11-year-old has spent the past two weeks racking his brain for any excuse to avoid the drawn-out question-and-answer session. Theres really no getting around it, though. I guess Ill just try to sit down and plow through it as quickly as possible. At press time, sources confirmed that Metcalfe could be seen writing down his grandfathers short, one-word answers to each question before immediately moving on to the next one. 
1	Transfixed to the point of neglecting his personal hygiene and social obligations, local 33-year-old Matt Friesen reportedly spent the entire three-day weekend binge-watching his neighbor. I didnt have much going on, so I decided to take advantage of the long weekend and do nothing but watch my neighbor for three straight days, said the bleary-eyed Friesen, adding that he frequently delayed eating meals and sleeping to indulge in his marathon viewing session of the woman who lives next door to him. At one point, I must have watched my neighbor for 10 straight hoursI just couldnt pull myself away from the window. But I really got into it, and its easy to enjoy once you get completely immersed in her world. It can be boring at times, but if you stick with it, the payoff is great. After his weekend binge-viewing, Friesen admitted there remained a number of unresolved questions about his neighbor and stated that he would continue to closely follow her to see where she goes. 
2	Hillarys Book Publisher Says Her New Book Is Terrible As we all know, Hillary Clinton has been traveling all over the country promoting her book Hard Choices. Now, the books abysmal release results have publishers questioning their decision to give Clinton a $14 million advance. The hardcover copy of the book has sold around 60,000 copies, while the digital versions have sold an additional 24,000 in the first week. The numbers pale in comparison to the 150,000 predicted by the publisher, solely for the print version. And that means that they sent out over a million copies of the book to bookstores nationwide ahead of the release. Critics claim that Hillarys intentions in releasing the book were to absolve her name from association with any of her wrongdoings while serving on the Obama Administration. The move is believed to be timed with the upcoming presidential elections, and rumored desires to take a second shot at becoming the first female president. What do you think? Would you buy Hillarys book? 
3	Riot Police Fire Water Cannon, Rubber Bullets at Unarmed Water ProtectorsBy Derrick Broze Since August, North Dakota police have employed many violent tacticsagainst the Standing Rock Sioux and allied water protectors who arefighting the Dakota Access Pipeline. On Sunday November 20, we witnessed an increase in totalitarian tactics as the Morton County Sheriffs office used rubber bullets, tear gas, and for the first time since conflicts began, a water cannon. There were also reports of concussion grenades or stun grenades being thrown by police. According to the Sacred Stone Camp: Hundreds of water protectors were injured at the Standing Rock encampments when law enforcement blasted them with water cannons in freezing temperatures Sunday evening. The attacks came as water protectors used a semi-truck to remove burnt military vehicles that police had chained to concrete barriers weeks ago, blocking traffic on Highway 1806. Water protectors efforts to clear the road and improve access to the camp for emergency services were met with tear gas, an LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device), stinger grenades, rubber bullets, and indiscriminate use of a water cannon with an air temperature of 26 degrees Fahrenheit. Sacred Stone also reports thatNational Lawyers Guild legal observers witnessed multiple people knocked unconscious and bleeding after being shot in the head by rubber bullets. According to Unicorn Riot, over 160 were injured, includinga 13-year-old girl who was shot in the face by law enforcement, two people suffered cardiac arrests,and many contusions and damage to hands from rubber bullets. Due to the overwhelming injuries the local Cannonball Gym was opened for emergency relief from injuries and the cold. We are asking for clean water, we are asking for the right to live, we are asking for our children to live. Instead they attack us, because they protect oil, LaDonna Allard, Director of the Sacred Stone Camp, said.Morton county and DAPL security are inhuman- what is wrong with their hearts? The situation unfolded around 5 pm central on Sunday as protectors began attempting to remove one of the burnt armored vehicles left by the police. These are the same vehicles that I witnessed being left by local law enforcement and then set on fire by a group of provocateurson October 27. (see in the report below at 8:30). These provocateurs had already set an SUV on fire on the bridge when police parked two armored vehicles on the bridge and drove away. Essentially, the police left the vehicles there to be set on fire and then those same vehicle fires were used to demonize the protectors and block the bridge and keep protectors from the site of construction. On Sunday, water protectors chained one of the vehicles to an 18-wheeler and attempted to remove it from the bridge.

Police claim that multiple fires were started around the barricade by water protectors and that officers had rocks thrown at them. The water protectors say they only started isolated fires to warm people from the water. However, in video of the incident flares shot by law enforcement can be seen starting grass fires. Ironically, only two days before they decided to douse water protectors in below freezing temperatures, the Morton County Sheriffs office released a statement warning that, exposure to North Dakotas winter weather presents a very real risk of frostbite, hypothermia, and life-threatening conditions. Despite the water cannon the water protectors continued their attempts to remove the armored vehicle from the bridge. Unicorn Riot (@UR_Ninja) November 21, 2016 On Friday, Energy Transfer Partners CEOKelcy Warren told the Associated Press that the company is not considering rerouting the pipeline. Warren has also said that thecompany has waited long enough. Energy Transfer Partners filed suit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers after the Corps decided they needed more time to review the permitting for final construction on the pipeline. Warrens comments came on the same night thatNorth Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple asked the Army to solve the crisis and also sought assistance from federal law enforcement to quell the protests. Further delays simply prolong the risks to public safety, prolong the hardships endured by area residents and increase costs incurred by the state of North Dakota and Morton County, he said in a statement. Conflicts between water protectors and local law enforcement continue because ETP crews are still preparing to tunnel under Lake Oahe despite not having the proper permits.

The cops, etc. only attack people with little political pull, like these people. Pretend north dakota police is the syrian regime. The news would be like, breaking news syrian regime employs chemical warfare At least, thats what tear gas means to me. How evil do you have to be to attack peaceful protestors? Id understand if they were impeding traffic though. Guess north dakota sheriffs department has zero integrity or honor just like the rest Do these people have the governments permission to protest and who is bankrolling their protest????? Darkwingwell done. You asked the right questions. The pipeline is legal, clean and already has all of the permits and pathways approved. But the cops always stand down when the democrats pet hordes riot, loot, burn, destroy property and attack people. Why is that?

3	What Happened to Independence from Tyranny?Gaye Levy For the last two years, I have written about this day and, to be honest, there is not much that is new that can be added to what I have previously said. Rather than start over, today I bring back an article from July 4, 2012. Everything I said still applies, perhaps ten-fold. When it comes to liberty, freedom, and the elimination of tyranny, not much has changed in the twelve months since I wrote that article. If anything, we have seen a continuance of the insidious assault on our rights and on our ability to embrace the tenets of free choice and free speech. As I go back and read the Declaration of Independence, it strikes me that this statement, this edict of the people, was truly a revolution of thought. It was a declaration of universal rights for all; and further, it defined the government as the gatekeeper for ensuring that those rights are protected. Yes, the government was defined as the gatekeeper and protector with its rights being granted by the people and for the people. But now, instead of being gatekeeper and protector, our government, in my opinion, has become the warden and the jailer, intent on keeping our citizens under control, without choice, without guardianship and certainly without representation when it comes to taxes. As Lincoln said in 1863: Our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. A Preppers View of Independence and the 4th of July Is it any surprise that very few refer to the 4th as it is commonly called as Independence Day? Nope. Not really. But let me begin at the beginning. The Story Behind Independence Day The Congress met and appointed a committee to write a formal document that would tell Great Britain that the Americans had decided to govern themselves. Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft and the rest is history. Independence was declared on July 2, 1776 and official Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776. Over the years, The Declaration of Independence has become more than just a piece of paper. In addition to being a symbol of our countrys independence, it has become the blueprint to the philosophy of American government. Or has it? The preamble of the Declaration of Independence says: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Independence Really? Much like the colonists, today the people are being told what to do, how to do it, and charged handsomely for this so-called governance. What happened to governments deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed?In my opinion, the writing is on the wall and like those colonists of many years ago, the people of today are poised to say, quite simply, no more. Enter the Prepper Mentality: A Personal Independence Day Late last year, I made it my personal mission to become independent and to take care of the needs of myself and my little family without being reliant on others. This is being done by creating my own, reasonable rules for living a satisfying and sustainable life in spite of our government. Or, more succinctly, without government help, and without government intervention. Do I pay taxes? You bet, and probably more than I should have to pay. But at the same time, I strive to isolate myself from government tyranny. Fanatical and obsessed? I think not. The preparedness lifestyle that I have adopted has been embraced part and parcel with normal, daily life. What does that mean? Some extra food here, some alternate fuel sources there. Learning self-defense and learning to live with less stuff. And perhaps most important, putting a high value on recreation, having fun and sharing a meaningful relationship. These are the basic tenets of my life as a prepper. In my view, this is not much different than the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness described by our founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence oh so many years ago.

1	After you realized that he was speaking with the deli counter attendant longer than is customary, it became apparent this afternoon that, goddammit, the guy in the reflective vest ahead of you in line is placing an order for all of his fellow construction workers. Shit, you reportedly lamented silently upon noticing the small piece of paper in the mans hand, which, according to a cursory glance, appears to contain at least 10 different sandwich orders, most with their own specified beverages and sides. Oh, come on, not the cell phone. Jesus, is he double-checking an order with someone? No fucking way. At press time, well shit, there goes the last chicken parm sub, for fucks sake. 
3	Concrete Solutions to Ongoing Staged Mass Shootings Are All Around UsBy Bernie Suarez In summary most people dont care what government is doing or saying. The controllers know this, but as we can see, that doesnt discourage them from staging more and more shootings and false flag events that they hope will propagate their agenda. Meanwhile, many shootings of the past few years have been exposed by the global alternative news Intelligence community as entire hoaxes, and a few sure and easily observable lessons have come out of this: No matter how badly the mainstream media and politicians try to sell gun control, the hard logical reality is that when you take away guns from average Americans you empower not only the rise of a tyrannical government but also lunatic government patsy gunmen on psychiatric medications who are willing to go along with the next event. The clear logical observation is that where there are guns in the hands of responsible Americans there are no shootings and no massacres. The proof of this is clear to observe. Even when they are simultaneously having drills for the exact same scenario, which always seems suspicious, the militarized police are never successful at stopping the supposed mass shootings. TSA and DHS have caught ZERO terrorists and the entire model of the post-9/11 police state gets a grade of F when it comes to keeping Americans safe and preserving freedom. Anyone who cannot see this is willfully ignoring the reality hidden in plain view. The post-Boston bombing police state Active Shooter drills being conducted at schools nationwide since that time have been used to psychologically harass, intimidate and freak out students around the country. To make things worse, they not only fail at preventing the shootings but, more importantly, they endanger the students at these schools by making them possible targets for the next false flag crisis actor shooting. The only thing the drills actually do aside from spreading fear and learned helplessness, is justify increased spending to monetize the police state which in turn paves the way for more military gear and the subsequent hardening to humanity which the officers involved often show. We see it all the time. The televised tyranny show. Mainstream media loves to show off televised lock-downs, SHOWING you what tyranny looks like. They are purposely conditioning everyone to accept tyranny. Mainstream media proudly shows you the scary Nazi-style home invasions, and the usual convenient murdering of the runaway suspect. No one asks the question why was the suspect not disabled and apprehended so they can have their day in court? Instead the masses are being conditioned to EXPECT the (patsy) suspect to be killed. Its almost like the story is not over until the manhunt ensues, and the manhunt is not over until the suspect is killed. This is the all part of the script we are all getting used to and its all by design. Humanity is now being fully ambushed by the global elite in an attempted full takeover of all freedoms. I refer to this struggle as a battle of two distinct forms of consciousness of Humanity versus Government or the free expression of humanity versus those that want to control us. In order to overcome the current crisis that humanity is in, were going to have to first reconcile the situation. Knowledge and understanding of what is happening is where the battleground against government is taking place. In the flow of information that leads to action and wisdom, the first stage of knowledge followed by the very next stage of understanding is where government sends agents, trolls, pundits, politicians, news reporters, crisis actors, experts, celebrities and many others to do the work of keeping the masses misinformed and subsequently asleep in the matrix. No one should underestimate how important the Knowledge phase is to the controllers. Below is a diagram of how Intelligence deals with every phase of the learning process to prevent awakening and action. With these tactics in mind, let us find new ways to improve our own tactics for making sure the information gets out. Lets find ways to break through the distraction of sports, movies, video games and entertainment. And lets counter ridicule with stunning, mind bending and alarming facts that will snap listeners out of their spell. Lets plant the seeds in creative ways. We are surrounded by a (youthful) generation of people that respond dramatically to entertainment and sensationalism. They are very visual, which is why the imagination of the youth has been captured by YouTube and video presentations. I believe writers have had more of an impact on the generation of readers which is more often people closer to those in power, often but not always older folks or those (young or old) willing to take action at the political level (local counsel meetings, elections, letters to authority figures etc.). I believe acknowledging these two very real and very distinct types of people (readers versus watchers) is part of the solution. Whether we realize it or not there is already in place a worldwide alternative media community which the controllers cant seem to stop. This is why theyve been failing so badly over the past few years prompting more and more aggressive moves to get their new world order done. This is why we are being ambushed. The new world order is attempting to give birth as we speak and we have to stay focused on solutions. This global community of alternative media is essentially humanitys globalist crime investigation department. Its already fully operational around the world. Independent investigators and reporters are on the loose and they are much more likely to be believed before anyone believes mainstream media. Lets keep growing this worldwide effort as it (decentralized news) is the only solution to the useless controlled (bottleneck) mainstream media politically staged news we are all sick of. This controlled news is the apparatus attempting to give legitimacy to the crisis actor events. Another solution is starting a parent revolution. Enrolling a child in state-sponsored public school is now tantamount to child abuse for many reasons. Not only are you injecting your child with all the necessary vaccines and the damage that comes with that, you are also subjecting them to government brainwashing, and you are subjecting them to the mental trauma that comes with the whole concept of active shooter drills. Can any of us imagine what it would have been like when we were children to have been subjected to such traumatizing drills and the fear that goes with it? Its time for parents to take action and rescue your children from public school. Start re-thinking the concept of education to fit the times we live in. Next, embrace the notion of being responsible for your own protection. Now is the time to support gun rights. The left wing gun control agenda is completely exposed as a fraud. Gun control advocates would have you believe that you are somehow safer by allowing only government to have guns; that is being proven wrong every single time we hear of another mass shooting. There isnt even one logical argument for gun control. Gun control advocates act like gun laws will somehow prevent the bad guys from getting guns. Weve all watched in horror as the US and its allies continue to arm ISIS. We all watched the video a few years back of the Fast and the Furious gun-running scandal showing the US agents giving guns to Mexican drug lords and gangs weapons which were later used to kill one of its own border patrol agents. The gun control message is now revealed as a lie. Every mass shooting is a reminder of what happens when the average citizen doesnt have the ability to defend themselves. Lets focus on drowning out the voices of those who wish to disarm Americans contrary to the spirit of the Constitution which calls for the right to bear arms and the organizing of a well-regulated militia necessary for the security of the free state. Lets start inserting this conversation into the equation. Without a well-regulated militia where the people are responsible for their own security and without the right for every single American to bear arms we will never solve the problem of mass shootings. What has failed is as clear as what would work, Constitutionally speaking. Finally, in addition to educating ourselves and the public, reconsidering public schooling for our children and committing to arming ourselves, we need to remain calm. Calmness in the face of engineered chaos and confusion is an important key to success of truth in a world of lies. The controllers and their agents of lies prefer that truth seekers panic and get angry at what they do. But its known that people dont make the best decisions when under duress. Lets beat them in a brand new way, by remaining calm in the face of ongoing lies and false flags. It doesnt mean to be inactive or accepting of their lies. It means not to give in to the pressure of fear, frustration and anger that comes with seeing one false flag event after another as tyranny sweeps the planet. Lets allow this madness to play out and never lose focus, hope and faith. Never in the history of humanity has the likelihood of a false flag staged event been so predictable and so frequent. Do you realize there is a high probability that there will be several more events this month of December 2015 alone? Step back and see the bigger picture and realize that we are living in historic times and now is the best time to be part of history. Can you see past the trees and recognize the forest?

He is also a former U.S. Marine who believes it is our duty to stand for and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. A peace activist, he believes information and awareness is the first step toward being free from enslavement from the globalist control system which now threatens humanity. He believes love conquers all fear and it is up to each and every one of us to manifest the solutions and the change that you want to see in this world, because doing this is the very thing that will ensure victory and restoration of the human race from the rising global enslavement system, and will offer hope to future generations. The fear of the Lord is truly the beginning of all wisdom. Understanding is the knowledge of the Holy. Prayerfully and humbly reading the King James Bible through the Holy Spirit, gives the reader a much better bs filter in life than anything. You wanna know truth? The Word of the Lord is Truth. And His Word has foretold what shall take place upon the earth during the latter times. We are witnessing the beginning of sorrows and as it is written, so shall it be. Please stop with the humanism bullshit. the only power great enough to put an end to this tyrannical world order is Jesus Christ. When He returns, it will be over. Humanity is a package term that is so steeped in lies it makes me want to vomit. Its all part of the new age deception. Please turn to the Lord, even if your dying breath is crying out to Jesus Christ for mercy, it will be the best breath youve ever expelled. Id rather be hated of men in this life and have sown the seeds of eternal salvation, than to keep silence and allow men to die without hope in Christ. nochipforme, I wish I could smack you down from here. Forcing us to read your unrelated religious bs is an insult to the truth seekers who visits this site. Blind religious bs is a big reason why so many people are ignorant about mainstream media lies to begin with. You are the problem. Arent there religious websites you can troll around instead of trolling here? What are you doing here?? Wow. Such hatred and anger coupled with a desire to be violent. Well, I know who your father is. I do not force anyone to do anything. Are you that much against a persons right to speak? Do you believe in censorship? What are you doing among truth seekers? Never mind. Your choice of name is a tell all. I think youre both right in a round about manner. Scripture, I believe, is parable. The Spirit speaks beneath the words for the insightful. The truths therein enhance wisdom and discernment and are the shield against evil and are apparent in the Christ consciousness, should we choose to allow it in our lives. We dont have the luxury fighting amongst ourselves to have any chance of defeating the beast of tyranny. There is no greater hatred, anger, or violence than that which spews from the religious. Actually, I would contend that violence, hatred and anger are more often generated when a person is confronted with truth that contradicts what they believe to be truth. Atheism is a religion that does not have any reasonable basis, for all of creation cries out as does a tapestry There IS One that has created me. Just as one cannot reasonably look upon a painting and say that it just appeared randomly, with no hand creating it; so it is with everything in nature; from the cosmos to the nano wonderfully made. One day, every single knee will bow and every single tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord. I just hope you and every other person uses their free will to choose to do so before their last breath, for it is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgment. I hate lies, deception and falsehood. I do not hate people. Nor would I ever want to force anyone to believe the truth. It is frustrating and sometimes overwhelms me with sorrow. I do not, however wish any evil upon any man, but that all men would repent unto God and find His mercy. For we are all in need of mercy. The global events that are taking place in these last days were written of thousands of years ago. Heaven and earth will pass away,but not one single dot of ink of the Word of the Lord shall fail, ever. Jesus carried a SW; not!! cui bono government is all theater all the time. government is the worst investment I have ever been robbed out of. The war on terror is a mass deception that will ultimately lead to a secure form of identification that all people in the entire world will be forced to receive.

2	MUSLIMS ARE FURIOUS! German Police Woman Being Called The Hottest Woman On Earth According to reports, Policewoman Andrienne Koleszar has quickly become an internet sensation, thanks to the photos she posts on Instagram of her flat stomach, toned legs and muscular arms. The 31-year-old senior police commissioner has racked up thousands of followers on her Instagram, spanning far beyond Germany, where she lives. Fans claim they would willingly drive into a speed trap if it meant they would get stopped by her. Please arrest me, other followers beg. Adrienne competed in the bikini class of the Bodybuilding WM in 2015, but her day job is much harder. She deals with accidents, fights and domestic violence cases. She claims that she hits the gym after her shift, and trains relentlessly. Yes, I am a police officer in Germany and yes, I love my job, one photo caption reads. Surely it is often hard work. Sometimes I have to handle things, which nobody would like to see. The photo has already received more than 8,986 likes. I am only a human and Im not perfect, Adrienne wrote. But in the end I am very happy with my life. The officer claims that her photographs are targeted towards women, not men. She has no intentions of posing topless or nude, but simply encourages women to work to achieve their fitness goals. 
3	The U.S. Govt Vs. a Cattle Rancher: Wake up America. They are taking everything away from us.Melissa Melton Cliven Bundy, a 67-year-old rancher says his family has worked the 600,000-acre Gold Butte area since the late 1800s and that they were there well before the governments Land Management Bureau ever came along. A motion for summary judgment filed on behalf of the U.S. on July 9, 2013 reads: Bundy principally opposes the United States motion for summary judgment on the ground that this court lacks jurisdiction because the United States does not own the public lands in question. As this court previously ruled in United States v. Bundy, Case No. CV-S-98-531-JBR (RJJ) (D. Nev. Nov. 4, 1998), the public lands in Nevada are the property of the United States because the United States has held title to those public lands since 1848, when Mexico ceded the land to the United States. Now armed federal agents have shown up to enforce the ruling, closing down the public lands to seize Bundys cattle. Over 230 of 900 have been impounded so far. Last resort? Why exactly does the government say it needs to come to this? BLM spokeswoman Kirsten Cannon told reporters that the Bundys owe the government a total of $1.1 million, including $300,000 in back fees for using the land but estimates reveal that the taxpayer cost of the federal government impounding the ranchers cattle in response could top out at $3 million. The scene is being set for what a lot of people fear will become the next Ruby Ridge or Waco, Texas standoff. Bundy has said that 200 armed officers have been dispatched and are setting up shop on scene, watching his familys every step, and his wife has reported that government snipers are now patrolling their ranch. Bundy said, Theyve been bringing men in and equipment and setting up a compound. They got helicopters flying low. They got snipers around the ranch. Our access to public lands has been blocked, Fox News reported. Were not pointing guns at anyone but were sure getting a lot of guns pointed at us, Carol Bundy told Fox News. BLM spokewoman Cannon would neither confirm nor deny Carol Bundys sniper claim, but she did say that, There are law enforcement and other personnel in place as needed to ensure that the BLM and National Park Services employees and contractors are able to conduct the operation safely. This is a lot bigger deal than just my cows. Its a statement for freedom and liberty and the Constitution, Bundy told Fox News. Speaking of the Constitution, the government has also set up a so-called First Amendment Area in which to round up the people protesting this whole situation. Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval told CBS Las Vegas this is government intimidation and has called for the BLM to reconsider its approach, saying hes offended about the First Amendment Area most of all. On Sunday, Bundys son Dave was arrested and reportedly subjected to police brutality, for filming federal agents outside of this designated First Amendment Area on the now closed public lands. Cliven Bundys daughter, Bailey Bundy Logue, told KSL TV that the family was trying to exercise their First Amendment rights by documenting the governments seizure. He did not resist arrest, but they continued to beat him. They put him on the ground and were standing on his head and had a dozen officers on top of him and dogs. Then Bundy Logue said something that, if nothing else, should cause America to at least pause and think real hard about the state of our nation: The whole story unfolding here of a man fighting for the right to forage on so-called public land owned by the U.S. government harkens back to the common law rights that emerged from the Charter of the Forest document first issued in 1217, a lesser-known compact that complemented the Magna Carta. It was meant to offer economic protection for the commoners to use the royal forests for food and to graze animals. Prior to the charter, people could be put to death or dismembered for trespassing on royal lands. Apparently today, its martial law and property theft.

3	Report: Its YOUR Fault: Fed Says Americans Who Hoard Money Are To Blame For Poor EconomyMac Slavo The question that many are asking is, how did this happen? How, after six years of recovery efforts and trillions of dollars printed, is it possible that the economy is not booming again? This week the Federal Reserve published a report that claims to have figured it out and it turns out that the renewed economic downturn has nothing to do with foreign outsourcing, high taxation, increased health care costs for business or rising consumer prices for food and energy. No, according to the Fed it is your fault. Apparently, you are not spending enough money. In order for the economy to recover you need to stop hoarding cash now and get out there and start buying more homes, cars, vacations, and electronics. Otherwise, youll only have yourself to blame when the system comes unhinged. From the St. Louis Federal Reserve: The issue has to do with the velocity of money, which has never been constant, as can be seen in the figure below. If for some reason the money velocity declines rapidly during an expansionary monetary policy period, it can offset the increase in money supply and even lead to deflation instead of inflation. [] During the first and second quarters of 2014, the velocity of the monetary base2was at 4.4, its slowest pace on record. This means that every dollar in the monetary base was spent only 4.4 times in the economy during the past year, down from 17.2 just prior to the recession. This implies that the unprecedented monetary base increase driven by the Feds large money injections through its large-scale asset purchase programs has failed to cause at least a one-for-one proportional increase in nominal GDP. Thus, it is precisely the sharp decline in velocity that has offset the sharp increase in money supply, leading to the almost no change in nominal GDP [] So why did the monetary base increase not cause a proportionate increase in either the general price level or GDP? The answer lies in the private sectors dramatic increase in their willingness to hoard money instead of spend it. Such an unprecedented increase in money demand has slowed down the velocity of money. Top tier economists, it seems, are unablegrasp why consumers have decided to hoard in other words, save their money even though the central bank is engagedin an unprecedented monetary expansion. The answer is simple, really, and you dont need to look at detailed government charts and statistics to figure it out. American consumers have been absolutely pummeled over the last decade. We are losing so many jobs that newly created minimum wage jobs touted by the Obama administration arent even making a dent. Moreover, the price of food, electricity, gas and other essentials have risen so sharply that were paying nearly double for those items today than we did a decade ago. And, as recently noted by The Economic Collapse Blog, over 77 million Americans currently have debt collection accounts and 25% of Americans have absolutely no emergency cash whatsoever. Its not so much that Americans are hoarding money, a phrase that suggests greedy people all over the country are stackingpiles of cash under their mattresses. Its that most Americans dont have any money left to spend. The Daily Bellsaysthat the Federal Reserve andthe U.S. government are now creating a new narrative to be spewed by their mainstream media propaganda arms, wherein the blame for this will fall squarely on the American people: Sometimes Federal Reserve white papers attract attention and this one does because of the term hoarding money. This is a startling phrase and who knows perhaps it marks the beginning of a new meme. Certainly the word hoarding is a popular one with government officials. When governments are uncomfortable with the actions of citizens for whatever reason, the term hoarding is often applied to stigmatize certain behaviors and encourage others. This isnt the first time government officials and their quasi-government counterparts have targeted hoarders as evil doers. They have done it before and the evidence suggests they are going to do it again as soon as the right crisis takes hold. In 2012 President Obama signed a an Executive Doomsday Order that was designed specifically to target hoarders during a national emergency: Whilemillions of people have been preparingfor the possibility of a catastrophic event by relocating to rural homesteads or farms, as well as stockpiling food, water, personal defense armaments and other essential supplies with the intention of utilizing these preparations if the worst happens, the latest executive order signed by President Obama on March 16, 2012 makes clear that in the event of a nationally deemed emergencyall of these resources will fall under the authority of the United States government. The signing of theNational Defense Resources Preparedness executive ordergrantsthe Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Labor, the Department of Defense and other agencies complete control of all US resources, including the ability to seize, confiscate or re-delegate resources,materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate to promote the national defense as delegated by the following agencies But what is hoarding? According to David Spero of Code Green Prep, its whatever they say it is. Right now, tens of millions of Americans are unable to put food on the table or pay their most basic expenses, yet the Federal Reserve claims that were hoarding money. In an emergency, theyll make similar claims. Hoarding of Just About Anything Can Be Banned These definitions are written in to the 1950 War and National Defense Defense (sic) Production Act, and so lets see what the act itself has to say for itself. Go directly to section 2072. Thats the key part from our perspective. 2072. Hoarding of designated scarce materials In order to prevent hoarding,no person shall accumulate (1) in excess of the reasonable demands of business, personal,or home consumption, or (2) for the purpose of resale at prices in excess of prevailing market prices, materials which have been designated by the President asscarce materials or materials the supply of which would be threatened by such accumulation.The President shall order published in the Federal Register, and in such other manner as he may deem appropriate, every designation of materials the accumulation of which is unlawful and any withdrawal of such designation. So the President can simply say that anything more than (for example) a weeks supply of food (and all the other things listed) is an amount in excess of the reasonable demands of personal consumption and then order the Army to impound everything you have in excess of that amount. Now, as we face a crisis in America on a scale never before seen, the government is attempting to change the story. In the end, when the worst of it hits and people start rioting in the streets because they cant afford food or shelter, theyll turn the blame on the hoarders who have selfishly saved cash and precious metals, storedlong-term foods for an emergency, and prepared to deal with the very situation the politicians, central bankers and business elite have created. Once the meme is pushed in earnest across the media networks, it will only be a matter of time before the crowds turn their attention to those greedy hoarders who caused this crisis in the first place. Those who hoardresources illegally will have their supplies seized and will likely be detained for actions akin to terrorism, while those who see something and say something will be rewarded with a cut of the booty. This may sound outlandish, until you consider that this is how all tyrants and authoritarian governments have operated since the beginning of human civilization. Hoarders beware. Theyll be coming for you. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared. 
3	Planetary Fiat: Does a $100 Trillion Debt Matter?Debt is everywhere, but it just does not seem to matter. Why? Thanks to the folks at Zero Hedge, you get the account Global Debt Crosses $100 Trillion, Rises By $30 Trillion Since 2007; $27 Trillion Is Foreign-Held Total global debt has exploded by 40% in just 6 short years from 2007 to 2013, from only $70 trillion to over $100 trillion as of mid-2013, according to the BIS just-released quarterly review. They make this assessment: Not surprisingly, given the significant expansion in government spending in recent years, governments (including central, state and local governments) have been the largest debt issuers (Graph C, left-hand panel). They mostly issue debt in domestic markets, where amounts outstanding reached $43 trillion in June 2013, about 80% higher than in mid-2007 (as indicated by the yellow area in Graph C, left-hand panel). Debt issuance by non-financial corporates has grown at a similar rate (albeit from a lower base). There seems only one valid conclusion drawing upon these figures. Whatever economic activity exists is based upon government expenditures and that corporations have lowered their interest rates on their outstanding debt. The former is most disturbing, while the latter, under normal circumstances, would offer a promise of an expanding economy. Since the former middle class has endured the greatest loss of income and experiences a distinct lowering in their standard of living since the financial meltdown, the prospects of main street prosperity seems remote at best. Corporations, as a whole, have improved their balance sheets as they lower their debt service, accompanied with cost efficiencies and reduction in employee costs. The day of the upward mobility career looks like a distant memory for the working class. Government employment is growing, but such a public sector economy never produces actual wealth. Only a disturbing burden of welfare obligations of all kinds and an increase in state debt comes out of this pattern of a false and unsustainable economy. This is a very sobering viewpoint that defies the normal predictability of mathematical consequences. Surely, there can be no debate that this 100 Trillion indebtedness will never be paid off. However, the political accommodations always seem to invent another rescue plan that prevents the wheels of commerce from stopping. The reason why the elites are able to get away with this practice of delaying the inescapable is that they make the rules of how to elude the last constraints that would impose accountability. The financial game is like a moving target that never flies out of range. The quarry just changes direction and speed. Requirements for default are rewritten and the next imposition of austerity packages demands even more harsh burdens for the taxpayers. Net result from this tactic is that the purchasing power of all paper currencies loses value. Possessing a monopoly on money means that this alarming world indebtedness only requires a periodic company bankruptcy that liquidates the stockholder equity or a governmental devaluation of its currency, which further impoverishes its citizens wealth. Remember that the Bank for International Settlements is the central bank for all the other banksters own fiat fractional reserve branches. The essential question to investigate is why does every readjustment of national borders with the creation or demise of a particular country, immediately establish a national bank that conforms to the standards of the banksters financial system? The obvious reason lies within the control of debt-created currency. Not until every facet or deed of possessions is encumbered with a property lien, will the debt total be modified to superimpose a new financial order. The uber-rich are not a function of amassing wealth alone. Titans of financial oppression are manipulators of the political banking system. Being part of the decisions that expropriate from the common-man and consolidates greater control under the auspicious of an evil elite, is the chart that needs to be tracked. Funny money always buys fewer possessions. However, global indebtedness diminishes human freedom on a far more vast scale. While the economics of inconceivable debt defies intellectual acceptance, the absurdity of the geo-politics moves further toward an institutional enslavement that is even more unimaginable to the naive laborer in a corporatist environment. How many times have you heard soothsayers and investment gurus forecast that the collapse is imminent? By all logic, they should be right. Nonetheless, there is, for all intents and purposes, no end to the economic and governmental subjugation that continues uninterrupted. Public and private debts are ultimately satisfied when insolvency turns into liquidation. Lawful and legal procedures do not apply when entire countries and economic alliances go on the chopping block. In the end, the trillions in unpaid debt instruments will continue to accrue interest from the theft of several billion peons that are afraid of resisting the established global order. Economic prosperity is possible, but only after the chains of financial incarceration are broken. Within this zero-interest-rate backdrop, the accumulation of untold fortunes grows as the people sink into a greater poverty. This plan is working well for the banksters. Next, the winds of war are on the horizon to ratchet up another phony conflict in order to sell an even greater austerity to the public. It is very plausible that a 100 trillion measure will be but a long forgotten barrier when the gnomes of financial pillage ramp up their next rescue scheme. Never underestimate the creative criminal wizardry of the central banksters to sell their next round of thievery, nor the gullibility of the masses to obey the dictates of outlaw governments.

2	See What Horrible Thing This American Mosque Leader Did When He Invoked Sharia Law Recently, a Muslim man was arrested in Philadelphia, after trying to cut off the hand of a man who was accused of stealing from a local mosque. According to reports, 37-year-old Merv Mitchell (also known as Mabul Shoatz), was arrested on Thursday with charges of aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, and related offenses. Allegedly, he used a machete to cut off the hand of a mosque member, after accusing him of pilfering jars of money. According to Philly.com, Mitchell was invoking Sharia Law, which states: As to the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hands; a punishment by way of example from Allah for their crime. The 46-year-old victim denied stealing from the mosque, but two mosque officials carried him outside, placed his hand on a log, and started severing it with the machete. Luckily, the blade only penetrated through the skin and tendons. The man will undergo reconstructive surgery. What do you think about Sharia Law? 
3	Chemtrails: Now You Can Do Something About ThemBy Catherine J. Frompovich For readers who may be new to the concept of controlling the weather or using weather as a weapon of war, here is a blog I wrote, An Indisputable Database for Chemtrail Deniers, that can bring you up to speed on whats been going on and is ongoing. Numerous independent scientists and researchers doggedly have investigated whats being called contrails, but actually have been proven to be patented chemical formulations emitted from specifically retrofitted aircraft to spray toxic chemicals, biologicals, and heavy metals into the troposphere in order to engineer weather patterns globally. Here is an explanation of whats been happening to the Arctic region of the planet: a polar meltdown. This talks about the catastrophic die off of Pacific Ocean marine life! And in this article we learn that weather geoengineering is stealing rain from the western United States. GeoEngineeringWatch.org has been at helm of exposing the abnormal weather conditions resulting from the deliberate toxic chemical assault and spraying of the Planet, humans, and all life forms for several years and finally has gotten to the point where its assembled legal teams in the USA and Canada to institute lawsuits. Here is Dane Wigingtons article explaining what they will be doing to bring accountability to the forefront regarding chemtrails, weather geoengineering and all the ancillary projects that go along with controlling the weather. However, those of us who are concerned about whats going on above our heads daily, now we can do something to help the legal wheels roll: We can contribute financially to support their noble efforts on our behalf. Contributions to the non-profit Stop Geoengineering Legal Defense Fund can be made HERE. GeoEngineeringWatch.org website has clocked over 20 million visitors to its website. If every one of those visitors were to donate one dollar, the Legal Defense Fund would be well on its way to kicking ass as they say. Wont you please consider getting chemtrails out of our skies and those who spray us like bugs, made accountable? By the way, I made a humble donation of $50. What can you do to help out? And, most of all, thanks for whatever you can do, including educating others about the serious health and environmental problems being created by weather geoengineering and chemtrails. Catherine J Frompovich (website) is a retired natural nutritionist who earned advanced degrees in Nutrition and Holistic Health Sciences, Certification in Orthomolecular Theory and Practice plus Paralegal Studies.

While they are VERY busy they would know the very best folks to tackle this stuff. Thanks Any ideas on orgonite_? That is ridiculous. If Chemtrails are chemicals you cannot make the chemicals disappear. Wind and gravity tend to do that. Chemtrails dont disappear they eventually dissipate and settle on our plants and earth and us. They are nano particles (microscopic) and theyre poisoning us. I had an ambulance crew tell me last summer that ambulance calls for respiratory problems are up by 250% over the past couple of years! I know. If you read the comment I replied to they were talking about orgonite. They think they can do cloud busting. I was stating that this is absurd. I was agreeing with your statement, Ivan, and commenting on the satirical comment made by Katana Man. orgonite is a bunch of scrap metal and crap sold to gullible people. All those contrails in the picture are from airliners that dont have any spray capability. You are the fail of the Internet. Lol so contrails last hours do they? Yes! The government may have sprayed chemicals, to fight climate change, that cause the contrails to persist. The persistent contrails are a hygroscopic reaction to those chemicals that are already there. Trust me they are not to help. If anything they are to stop water vapour from forming clouds. Crikey maybe but no rain doesnt help. wow they certainly fooled you! You are an evil treasonous government liar! The chemtrails are hiding Planet X! Hey government liar, your evil masters are going to have you killed in WW3. Enjoy, you deserve it. Chemtrails is a conspiracy theory meant to poison the well of legitimate conspiracy allegations and to distract the public form the lethal known pollution caused by burning fossil fuels by 1 billion vehicles and 3.5 million airflights each year. Gee: who could benefit from poisoning the well and distracting public attention? I looked a bunch of the database alluded to in the article. A method for artificially modifying the weather by seeding rain clouds of a storm with suitable cross-linked aqueous polymer. The polymer is dispersed into the cloud and the wind of the storm agitates the mixture causing the polymer to absorb the rain. This reaction forms a gelatinous substance which precipitate to the surface below. Thus, diminishing the clouds ability to rain. So instead of rain, we get a gelatinous substance falling to earth. Has anyone seen this patent actually employed. Proposals and patents are not realities but pieces of papers. Using Occams razor, we can look at flight pattern maps (I urge you to google them) and find that the white trails in the stratosphere we see exactly match the tens of thousands of flights each day. These contrails do contain pollutants (the Some areas with very little population (such as Yavapai County in Arizona) have skies crisscrossed with frozen emissions. If you look at flight patterns, you will find the reason: this areas (around Sedona) is where the flights from LA to back east and from Phoenix to the North intersect. Occams razor says we should choose the explanation which requires the fewest assumptions. When flight patterns match those white trails we see in the sky, we have a very concise assumption that they are the same. In addition there are no atmospheric scientists who accept chemtrails as anything but a myth..or, as I argue a delibeate poisoning of the well and distraction to shift focus from the fossil fuel burning which kills millions each year. Now who would want to poison the well and/or distract us? I usually get smeared as a paid shill, so let me say outfront: please send money. Im broke. Actually fossil fuels cause only a. 03 percent or less increase in world co2 levels each year. Real pollutants are those from nuclear, heavy metal,industrial, pharmaceutical and agricultural pesticides. Please dont blame fossil fuels. Also hydrocarbons are produced naturally in the earths mantle and oil Wells replenish given time. Peak oil is a lie. All other pollutants are killing the planet not fossil fuels Excess C02 is a pollutant, any substance with a harmful effect on the environment. Too much water or oxygen, necessary for life, can kill you. Small increases, for hundreds of years have cause an increase in CO2 levels of 40% Peak oil is a reality, and oil wells do not replenish in most cases. Fossil fuels are killing millions and sickening hundreds of millions each year. The other pollutants you mention, but they are not causing global warming. There are no known natural causes for global warming, so the only logical explanation is the highest level of CO2 in 800,000 years, amplified by the positive feedback loop with added moisture and the fact that melting ice caps are releasing huge quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas 84 times more potent than CO2. A .03 increase in C02 each year is thru the feedback loopo a .1% increase, and since CO2 lasts hundreds and thousands of years in the atmosphere, the accumulative increase since 1800, when widespread fossil fuel burning started, is large enough to signficantly effect the earth, including rapid melting of ice caps (and thus reducing ice reflection of heat and releasing sequestered methane, and 90% of the earths glaciers which are melting threatening the water supply of a billion people. I urge you to take a class in climate science or read a book by a climate scientists to understand what they have discovered and why it has such a catastrophic effect on climate and water shortages, food shortages, wars(over scarce resources), and harm through flooding, sea level rising, etc. Greenhouse gases are a real pollutant in that, at current levels, there are causing major changes in the earth (heat waves, melting, etc) which threaten billions. We need not choose among harmful substances; we need to address all harmful pollutants from radiation to chemical waste to greenhouse gases, which are emitted along with other pollutants. I appreciate your recognition of the harmfulness of the other pollutants but global warming threatens the ecosystems on which human life is based. At no time in human history have as the greenhouse effect been more powerful or threatening. This is the consensus of climate scientists, and if you reject their findings, you are left with the dishonest propaganda of the fossil fuel industry, which gets 6 trillion a year in subsidies to shift the real cost of their operations from the producers to the consumers (IMF data). They want to persuade you their lethal pollution is not the problem in order to protect the highest profits in human history, at the price of 6 trilliion in treasury and millions of human lives. You can fact check anything I have said, as I am only reporting what I have learned in 3 years of study on the subject. What harmful effects are those? Lol we are carbon based lifeforms. So what about real pollutants? Just ignore them like fukushima killing the ocean. Sure your not a shill? Co2 isnt killing anyone sorry. Deadly heat waves, deadly floods, melting glaciers threatening water suppliies for a million people, Alaskan and Pacific islanders being driven out of their homes by rising sea levels, rising insurance in coastal cities like Miami, where waterfront homes are threatened by rising sea levels, record droughts as in Syria which displaced millions of peoples into cities and exacerbated social conflict, food shortages caused by record droughts. LOL. Lol you try hard shill. Please show me evidence. You think heat waves and all that is from carbon dioxide? Your reaching far and hard. There is no connection between a. 03 percent rise in co2 and global weather. Sorry to break it to you. Did you get your information from the TV? As I wrote in my first post: I usually get smeared as a paid shill, so let me say outfront: please send money. Im broke. Thank you for Lol you try hard shill. The evidence is found in the empirical record of increasing temperatures, 90 Have you had even one class in climate science or read one text to refute the findings of the worlds climate scientists? I think not. a .03 rise in CO2 would have little effect but you are ignoring the positive feedbackloop which raises that to .09 and then multiply that by hundreds of years. I get my information from actual climate scientists who do research, measuring CO2 at Moana Loa, doing ice core samples in the I urge you to avoid the propaganda and read what climate scientists are saying. You can start with climate skeptic, Dr. Richard Muller, in his NYTimes op ed after seeking to prove fraudulent the data from the govt and UN and seeking to find an any natural causes for the confirmed rise in global temperatures. I urge you to study the science not the propaganda. And I urge you to send money since the the International Oh you get your information from bought and paid for climate scientists? Remember the Stratfor scandal? Hockey puck faked algorithms to help fund climate science? Whos side are you on? Co2 is not a pollutant, live with it. Nuclear, heavy metal industry, pharmaceutical and pesticides and agricultural waste are actual pollutants. The Stratfor scandal involved WikiLeaks. exposing five million e-mails, reveals the inner workings of a company which provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, but also key U.S. agencies and showed the shenanigans of a private intelligence firm. What has this to do with climate science? The data on climate warming has not been refuted, as you assert. The email incident you probably mean concerns some hacked emails at the University of East Anglia, which the anti-science propaganda campaign has distorted into a fake scandal, while it has been found that it was no such thing. Eight committees investigated the allegations and published reports, finding no evidence of fraud or scientific misconduct. The eight major investigations covered by secondary sources include: House of Commons Science and Technology Committee(UK); Independent Climate Change Review (UK); International Science Assessment Panel (UK); Pennsylvania State University first paneland second panel (US); United States Environmental Protection Agency (US); Department of Commerce (US); National Science Foundation (US) I am on the side of science and action to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions? You are on the side of the fossil fuel oligarchs, who have funded the anti-climate science campaign, while their own research confirmed human caused global warming 45 yrs ago. Exxon Knew about Climate Change almost 40 years ago A new investigation shows the oil company understood the science before it became a public issue and spent millions to promote misinformation http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/exxon-knew-about-climate-change-almost-40-years-ago/ A pollutant is any substance which released into the atmosphere causes harm. Greenhouse gases which cause catastrophic climate change meet this definition. Whatever you call it, it is warming the earth, causing melting ice caps, glaciers, sea level rises, extreme droughts and floodiing, food shortages, millions of refugees, and water shortages. There is zero evidence that the worlds ten thousand climate scientists in 180 natioins are bought and sold. That is what the Koch brother want you to believe tho their own research confirms global warming (see Berkeley I note you never provide sources or documentation, an indication are lifting all your information from bought and paid for anti-science websites. July 28, Republican Jim Inhofe spoke in the Senate citing it ( a paper claiming the Hockey Stick graph was fraudulent) to claim that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. Follow the money: According to Oilchange International, Inhofe has received $1,189,050 in political contributions from the coal and oil industry. One of his top contributors is Koch Industries ($62,750 since 1999). ExxonMobil has contributed over $16,000 since 1999. In 2003, the Natural Resources Defense Council noted that Inhofe scored zero with the League of Conservation Voters since 1997, was the only senator to oppose Everglades restoration, and once compared the Environmental Protection Agency to the Gestapo. [2] Inhofe has made regular speeches opposing global warming, and has voted in favor of big oil companies on many oil-related bills. In the Congress, you can follow the money of Republicans who are deniers and oppose legislation to curb greenhouse gases (and pollution in general) and Contributions from oil/coal industry by party: 2012: 76 MILLION Exxon, BP, and other large transnational energy companies (which get 6 trillion a year in subsidies, according to IMF), bribe mainly Most climate scientists make over 100K a year as academics and therefore are not desperate to sell out. If they wanted to, they could serve the fossil fuel industry with friendly research and then get jobs for millions as a reward. If you follow the money, it leads straight to the fossil fuel oligarchs who profit by charging the public for the harm that dirty energy causes,. I have no more interest in confronting your stale propaganda cliches. What a load of Tosh. Well said, the Shills wont stop spreading that muck everywhere and even with a ton of evidence they will still argue that Co2 is the pollutant. Then get extremely defensive when you call a shill, a shill but if they wasnt then why do they all read from the same handbook and spew the same lies? they give themselves away by insulting others who differ in opinion. The paid government liars use certain techniques that work on a majority of the stupid brainwashed sheeple. When you learn to recognize them, they are easy to spot. The reason is the chemtrails are hiding Planet X and the evil US government decided that we should all die, unlike Switzerland and China which have accommodations for their citizens during the Planet X flyby. Americans, however, will die in WW3 or the war of Armageddon. The same day as the next false flag using a nuke and blamed on Iran, America will be annihilated by Russia, China and the SCO. Planet X will end the war when it erupts Yellowstone super volcano, splits North America into thirds and kills 5/6 of the 200 million invaders. I can spot them a mile off, they all spout the same lines/lies Not sure about planet X whether thats just another ploy to scare us with or not but I do wonder what goes on up there especially with all of these strange noises like Ive never heard before Im a retired engineer and Ive been studying this for 8 years now. You can almost see it. When the sun is low but still off the horizon and white, look down left and youll see a red glow coming from behind the chemtrails. That is Planet X or rather a red dwarf star with its own planets and one of them is Nibiru, the home planet of the gods that made us to be primitive workers to mine gold for them. Every ancient civilization tells us all about the destroyer and the gods that come with it. The ancient texts do not lie like all the media now. The worst part is the war thats going to kill 90% of Americans. It will last 430 days. planet X will rip North America into thirds, erupt Yellowstone super volcano and kill 5/6 of the 200 million invaders. The great lakes will drain into the gulf of mexico and a small moon will break up and hit the pacific. Also, NASA launched a satellite (IRAS) in 1983 specifically to look for it and immediately announced in 2 major papers they found it. Two weeks later they lied and said it was a mistake. Since then governments have been busy building underground cities. That what The Hums are all about, the underground tunnel borers. Why do you think they built the doomsday seed vault? They wouldnt without an impending doomsday. Planet X is what sunk Atlantis and caused to flood of Noahs day. In fact, the evil government stole Noahs ark off of Mt. Ararat completely intact. i have pics from before they got it from google maps and now you can see the boat prints and the mud road they took it out on. Everything the evil treasonous government says is a lie. The vaccines are bioweapons, fluoride is toxic rat poison. there are several cures for cancer and none of them are chemo and radiation, both of which cause cancer. I could go on forever. i suggest reading Planet X the Sign of the Son of Man. It was the star of Bethlehem and will be the cause for what happens in Revelations when it comes much closer. TBH I wasnt sure if you was genuine or not talking about planet X I used to say this stuff years ago but was shot down in flames for even thinking such a thing I think I believe you, yes I agree 90% of America are about to die underground bases etc they have been planning this for a long time the nwo is here. Interesting the one example you point to has been observed numerous times the sticky substance is a famous effect thats been recorded and discussed at length for the past 20 years. I have lived in many places and never seen it. Could you give a source for these observations. The patent I referred to had the goal of reducing rainfall. I await the sources you have found so I can educate myself on this subject. Have you any idea why reducing rainfall would be be connected to chemtrails? dont bother with facts here, facts are like kryptonite to chemtards And the truth is something you shills know nothing about really sweetheart? then why dont you try and define what a fact is? like I said darling, shills like you piss me off that my love is a bona fide Fact sweetheart sweetheart, you wouldnt know a fact if it banged you Yes, you are one of the better government liars. We know the evil treasonous government hired thousands of paid internet liars. We also know the chemtrails are real and they are HIDING PLANET X that NASA told us they found when they launched IRAS specifically to look for it. So stop lying you evil treasonous lizard! Find another cause. Chemtrails are bullshit. Start using your head for something other than a hat rest. I spent most of my life testing for metals in the soil and water. There is ZERO evidence of anyone spraying in our skies. Really? Seems more then enough photographic evidence. Unless planes naturally leave contrails that last many hours and leave patterns the sky. They stop the rain. Wait and they will call all the rest of their buddies from the agency in to spout some more controlled lies.. The funny thing is, now people are becoming more aware of these shills, people are challenging their BS fake science and instead of them mobbing and intimidating us its the other way round. Their mostly self defeating. Let the shilltards come, and well kick some rat face. Shilltards I love it, do you see already more are coming Interesting. What do you make of others in a similar capacity regarding soil testing finding high amounts of Al and Barium in rainfall samples? Its bullshit. I tested samples with an ICP-MS for over 8 years. we tested outdoor water supplies, ponds and rivers-you know the places those chemtrails settle? I could see in parts per trillion. Thats like a drop of something in a line of tanker trucks. I would have known and I would have said something. It HAS to go somewhere. One, whats ICP-MS? Two, where did you sample? You can say I found this, but it takes a lot more to say therefore, they didnt find that. A lot more. It would be very enlightening to know the locations of the testing you did. These chemtrails could just be a fuel additive. But if that was the case, one would think _that_ would be the explanation. It is not. Contrails is the explanation. Absurd. I watch these things form and the lines sometimes eventually droop down in places, like spray paint going on too slow. Thats not contrails. Contrails dont turn into a haze. Chemtrails do. Why is that? Im very interested in the work youve done. I just dont know what it is yet. You are another evil treasonous government liar! There is ample evidence that aluminum is in everything. If not, then why did evil monsanto develop aluminum-resistant crops? Stupid government liars are stupid! Maybe you should take a break from the internet. You do know very little you read on it is true, dont you? Maybe ask your parents? Then you have walked about life WITH YOUR EYES WIDE SHUT fool Yeah, youre a 13 year old and Ive worked in environmental science half of my life, but Im the fool. Hurry back to recess. You havent learned much then. May the shills denying this stuff develop a severe permanent case of morgellons, then go seek medical help from a hook nosed rat faced quack doctor, who tells them their delusional. yea! it doesnt take a genius to look up and observe with your own eyes the constant spraying and greying out our precious sunlight. Day after day the same aircraft spewing their lethal pay load of chemicals is so blatant, a lot of people think they would never do any thing like this on such a large scale and expect to get away with it. But everything they do is big and nothing to benefit mankind so this like all of their other agendas is not in our best interest. Maybe Jon and others like them dont remember, as I do, a time when you just didnt see this crap, just clear blue skies. I grew up in the landing path of an international airport. One didnt see the trails dissipate into haze over several hours, turning a beautiful warm day into cold by early afternoon. Im only 46 and I remember how different and unpolluted the skies looked. I started seeing these tracks in the sky about 1990. I had already been working outside jobs since 85 when I was 15. They are blinded by ignorance. yeah, chemtards are all about facts and evidence? Better get that wart on your nose checked, Schlomoe. Nice little govt liar dialogue. Two paid liars chatting. Another techniques used by the liars on youtube a lot. We know the chemtrails are HIDING PLANET X! NASA told us they found it when they launched IRAS specifically to look for it. Everything the evil treasonous governments says are all lies! I dont believe the planet x bullshit, but its obvious the planes are leaving something and its blotting out the sky. and what is that supposed to mean Einstein? 2010 Air Particulates These figures indicate how many times they are over the allowable toxic limit: That is something called Air Pollution, its been around much longer than airplanes. Please try again, maybe after fruitless searches for anything resembling an actual fact or evidence you might jump off that train to crazy town. may the deluded chemtards finally get the mental health assistance they all sorely need tedious little klinker At an international symposium held in Ghent, Belgium May 28-30, 2010, scientists asserted that manipulation of climate through modification of Cirrus clouds is neither a hoax nor a conspiracy theory. It is fully operational with a solid sixty-year history. Though hostile environmental modification was banned by UN Convention in 1978, its friendly use today is being hailed as the new savior to climate change and to water and food shortages. The military-industrial complex stands poised to capitalize on controlling the worlds weather. In recent years there has been a decline in the support for weather modification research, and a tendency to move directly into operational projects. ~World Meteorological Organization, 2007 Rainmaker Charles Hatfield, in 1915, destroyed much of San Diego. Hey Jon, this is old news. good for you chemtard I wish your mother dies of cancer of the throat. I wish you get the help you really need, I feel pity for you I feel pity for the planet your ignorance helps rape. The only people with mental sickness are those who think that people who speak against popular opinion should be captured by the kings guards and be reeducated in governmental asylums. Theyll make sure I am a healthy, government loving slave! If I had the power to commit you to a mental hospital I would do it, your family would thank me Its OK, I know its just your mental illness talking Heres hoping. Chemtards are funny you shilltards are not. Youre a hoot I hate PayPal! I tried to donate using my credit card and not PayPal, but found that I was forced to use PayPal by its devious methods. It said I could not donate because I already had an email address and account number with PayPal, so therefore I could not pay with my credit card unless I entered a different email address and user name, which would be impossible for me since I dont have other address or name and could not use them with my credit card. you can count the epa out they thought it was a hoot that I would even ask them. Wow. Humans really are stupid. Humans are indeed extremely stupid! We were made to be slave gold miners for the gods. They split our language to keep us divided. They instigate wars where the stupid human sheeple kill other stupid human sheeple. This is the cycle since they made us. They already tried to mass exterminate humans twice and the third is soon. The day of the next false flag using a nuke and blamed on Iran, America will be exterminated by Russia, China and the SCO. Planet X will end the war but by then 90% of amerikkans will be dead already. I had a discussion with a man who claimed to have flown jets for forty-five years and the trails in the sky were merely contrails.

2	Refugee Arrested In Texas For Plotting Terrorist Attack According to recent report, a Muslim refugee in Houston, Texas has just been arrested for his involvement in an ISIS terror plot. Obama likes to pretend that taking on refugees is an American duty, and he has tried to convince citizens that Islam poses no threat whatsoever. But the fact of the matter is, the government has no way to distinguish between terrorist jihadis and Islamic supremacists from peaceful Muslim refugees. Until that problem has been solved, Americans are at dire risk. We are grateful that the FBI was able to make an arrest before violence escalated, but the incident does confirm the fears that many Americans had about Obamas plan in the first place. I applaud the FBI for todays arrest of this dangerous subject, Governor Abbott told reporters. However, this is precisely why I called for a halt to refugees entering the U.S. from countries substantially controlled by terrorists. I once again urge the President to halt the resettlement of these refugees in the United States until there is an effective vetting process that will ensure refugees do not compromise the safety of Americans and Texans. What do you think? Should the safety of American citizens come before anything else?

Wayne Allard (R-CO) following Monday's vote. 'Miss Park can do a lot better.' Federal agents will be posted outside the wedding chapel with orders to step in if any vow-taking occurs. 
1	Eyeing the shelves of products with visible puzzlement as he tentatively wandered up and down the grocery stores aisles, Woodlawn resident Patrick Gatling admitted to being deeply mystified Thursday by the layout of the Kroger in the adjacent town of Bellevue. Im used to having the produce on the left side of the store, but when I walked in there was a whole bakery section right there, and the deli should be right after that but its all dairy products here, said a perplexed Gatling, regularly glancing up at the signs hanging above each aisle as he continued a search for peanut butter that had exceeded eight minutes. The Skippy should be right by the salad dressings in the third aisle, but theyve got those next to all the pasta sauces. And why the hell is there a whole aisle for international foods? After finding his desired items, sources reported that Gatling could be seen craning his neck around to locate the supermarkets express checkout lanes before stopping to marvel at a tremendous stack of Coca-Cola 12-packs that he said was unlike anything [hed] ever seen before. 
3	Blamed for Bee Collapse, Monsanto Buys Leading Bee Research FirmAnthony Gucciardi Recently banned from Polandwith one of the primary reasons being that the companys genetically modified corn may be devastating the dying bee population, it is evident that Monsanto is under serious fire for their role in the downfall of the vital insects. It is therefore quite apparent why Monsanto bought one of the largest bee research firms on the planet. It can be found in public company reports hosted on mainstream media that Monsanto scooped up the Beeologics firm back in September, 2011. During this time the correlation between Monsantos GM crops and the bee decline was not explored in the mainstream, and in fact it was hardly touched upon until Polish officials addressed the serious concern amid the monumental ban. Owning a major organization that focuses heavily on the bee collapse and is recognized by the USDA for their mission statement of restoring bee health and protecting the future of insect pollination could be very advantageous for Monsanto. Their website states: While its primary goal is to control the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV) infection crises, Beeologics mission is to become the guardian of bee health worldwide. Whats more, Beelogics is recognized by the USDA, the USDA-ARS, the media, and leading entomologists worldwide. The USDA, of course, has a great relationship with Monsanto. The government agency has gone to great lengths to ensure that Monsantos financial gains continue to soar, going as far as to give the company special speed approval for their newest genetically engineered seed varieties. It turns out that Monsanto was not getting quick enough approval for their crops, which have been linked to severe organ damage and other significant health concerns. Steve Censky, chief executive officer of the American Soybean Association, states it quite plainly. It was a move to help Monsanto and other biotechnology giants squash competition and make profits. After all, who cares about public health? It is a concern from a competition standpoint, Censky said in a telephone interview. It appears that when Monsanto cannot answer for their environmental devastation, they buy up a company that may potentially be their experts in denying any such link between their crops and the bee decline.

3	Does the Ebola virus exist?Jon Rappoport I see no clear evidence that the Ebola virus has ever been removed and isolated from a human being; The standard diagnostic tests (antibody and PCR) which are done to determine the presence of the virus are unreliable and useless. Combining these two statements, along with further comments from several independent researchers, Ill go a step further: I see no clear evidence that the Ebola virus exists. And to clarify: the burden of proof is on those researchers that claim the virus does exist. They were the ones who trotted out the assertion to begin with. I didnt. Do not assume that the electron microscope pictures we see are actually of the Ebola virus. Photos can be made of other material (not Ebola) and mistakenly or intentionally mislabeled. I have already made a FOIA request to the CDC for unequivocal evidence that the Ebola virus has ever been isolated from a human being. I now make a wider and deeper request: Whoever you are, if you have proof that the Ebola virus exists, make it known. Post the evidence online, for all to see and analyze, and send me a link. (Dont send me an attachment.) Dont waste time by parroting official reports or claiming that people becoming ill and dying are proof that Ebola exists. Im quite willing to say the virus exists if I (and the people I enlist to help me) see undeniable evidence. Understand one thing: with this article, Im taking the Ebola issue to a level never debated by conventional government-associated researchers. They see a bandwagon and they jump on it. This is different. This will involve, for example, an examination of methods by which a person can conclude a virus exists. Is a given method reliable? Is it relevant? Is it widely accepted, but for no good reason? Lets put some cards on the table.

3	Americas Student Loan Racket: Stiffer Debt Bondage ComingStephen Lendman For growing numbers of American youths, higher education is increasingly out of reach. High tuition and fees make it unaffordable. So does a disturbing government/corporate partnership. Millions of students need financial aid. Theyre exploited for profit. Providers are enriched. Higher education involves debt entrapment. Students graduate tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Some post-graduates face burdens up to $100,000. If unpaid after 30 years, its multiples higher. If default or declare bankruptcy, its unforgiven. Bondage is permanent until repaid. Loan providers thrive from defaults. Wages can be garnished. So can unemployment benefits, disability payments, tax refunds, as well as Social Security and other retirement benefits. A conspiratorial alliance of lenders, guarantors, servicers, and collection companies derive income from debt service and inflated collection fees. College marketing officers, state and federal legislators, and administration officials are complicit with them. Principle, accrued interest, late payment and collection agency penalties create enormous burdens to repay. Private lenders are exempt from federal fair debt collection requirements. Federal loans have minimal safety net protection. Lenders operate virtually risk-free. The system is rigged against borrowers. Loans are easy to get. Theyre tough to service. Theyre not forgiven. Burdensome debt escalates higher. A vicious circle entraps graduates and dropouts. For many its permanent. Once entrapped, escape is impossible. Unless repaid, future lives and careers are impaired. Todays economic crisis exacerbates conditions. Job opportunities are scarce. High-pay/good benefit ones are fast disappearing. What began decades earlier, Obama accelerated. Hes beholden to monied interests. He spurns populist ones. Hes done so throughout his tenure. Hes waging class war. Hes in lockstep with Republicans and most Democrats. Hes gutting Americas social contract en route to eliminating it altogether. For millions of higher education aspirants, affordability puts it increasingly out of reach. Others attaining it face onerous debt repayment burdens. From 1971 1989, Robert Stafford was Republican Senator from Vermont. He was considered moderate compared to bipartisan extremists now running things. In 1988, Congress renamed the Federal Guaranteed Loan program in his name. It did so for his work on higher education. Eligible students in accredited US institutions may apply for Stafford Loan help. Theyre federally guaranteed. Lower interest rates are offered. As explained above, repayment is mandatory. Debt bondage on all student loans remains until repaid. If default or declare bankruptcy, its unforgiven. Its the only loan obligation mandated this way. PLUS Loans are offered to parents. Theyre committed to repay. Theyre for students enrolled at least half time. They must be in eligible undergraduate or post-graduate institutions. Currently, fixed 7.9% interest rates are charged. Theyre from initial disbursement until final loan repayment. On July 1, Stafford rates will double. PLUS Loan rates will increase. Theyll do so unless Congress intervenes. Republicans, most Democrats and Obama agree in principle. In 2012, bipartisan agreement was reached. It was for one year only. Subsidized Stafford Loan rates remained 3.4%. At issue now is what follows. The fate of million of students hangs in the balance. Both parties claim they want rates kept from doubling. Rhetoric differs from policy. Republicans control the House. On May 23, they passed HR 1911: Smarter Solutions for Students Act. Smarter for whom wasnt explained. Not for students for sure. Passage reflects greater debt bondage. Obama and most Democrats rhetorically distanced themselves from Republicans. Doing so differs from what they support. Both parties largely agree. Republicans want interest rates tied to 10-year Treasury note yields + 2.5% and 4.5% for Stafford Loans and PLUS loans respectively. Theyd be capped at 8.5% and 10.5%. In December 2008, the Fed cut its overnight federal funds rate to a range of zero 0.25%. Banks can borrow short-term for virtually nothing. They can keep doing so by borrowing to repay whats owed. At the same time, the Fed pays interest on required reserve balances. It does so for amounts held at Reserve Banks. The Fed is privately owned and controlled. Major Wall Street banks do so. Reserve Banks issue stock shares to members. Its conditional of being part of the system. They cant be sold, traded or pledged for loans. Why bother in todays near-zero rate environment? Banks alone benefit. Dividends are guaranteed. By law, theyre 6% annually. Its sure money. It accrues to bottom line profits. Borrowing for virtually nothing helps maintain them. Republicans wants student loan rates up to 10.5%. Democrats arent much better. Obamas plan may be worse. It offers short-term relief only. Hes comfortable with much higher long-term costs. Republicans want rates capped. Obama excludes doing so. He wants market forces setting them. He wants them based on when loans were issued. Eventually rates will rise. From past experience, they could be well into double digits at some point. With no cap, the skys the limit. In 1979, the fed funds rate averaged 11.2%. In June 1981, it peaked at 20%. Savers were well compensated. Today theyre cheated. Borrowers were severely penalized. They still are via credit cards, other consumer rates, and student loans. Bipartisan complicity wants them more made more onerous. Debt entrapment already is policy. Its long-term or permanent. Obligations cant be erased. Raising interest rates exacerbates todays burden. Regardless of inflation changes, tuition and fees rise annually. Future costs become less affordable. Greater burdens are created. For many students, higher educations out of reach entirely. Worse still is how few good jobs await graduates. Desired careers become unattainable. Low-pay employment makes debt service and loan repayments harder. For many, permanent debt bondage is certain. Theres no escape. Around 38 million borrowers face loan repayment burdens. About 10% default within two years. Many more do thereafter. Doing so means added penalties. Last March, student debt topped $1 trillion. Currently its over $1.1 trillion. It increases by about $3,000 per second. Only home mortgage debt exceeds it. Some economists call it a dangerous bubble. Bursting would impact economic conditions significantly. The student loan crisis grows increasingly worse. Relief is badly needed. Nothing ahead appears promising. Americas ownership society is heartless. Popular interests dont matter. Whats ahead looks grim.

2	BREAKING: Obama Preparing Executive Action To End All Immigration Enforcement With the ever growing crisis at the border, many are beginning to realize that there is no easy solve. However, that is not reason to ignore the country. We must find a way to deal with securing the border, finding and deporting those who have entered our country, and come to an agreement with Mexico about how to prevent this from happening moving forward. While difficult, these are not matters that we can just sit on. They continue to get worse each day. And it appears that all that President Barack Obama seems to be standing by is giving up, and actually ending immigration enforcement. According to The Weekly Standard, Senator Jeff Sessions claims that Obama has plans to use executive action that would do just that, expanding his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which would essentially provide millions of illegal immigrants living in the U.S. work authorization via executive orders. When we look at the numbers, that means that nearly 6 million immigrants would be allowed to stay in our country and work. Sessions has been urging Americans to stand up against the bill, making it clear that they support legal immigration only. It is a little known fact that the United States welcomes over one million legal immigrants each year. These are people who are willing to go through the process of learning what it means to become a citizen, and respecting the country they are entering. What do you think? Does Obama need to be stopped immediately? 
2	Officers Gun Down Machete Attacker There is an attack on law enforcement in this country, and President Barack Obama is doing nothing but fueling anti-police sentiment. Amid the hatred, there is one key thing to remember: your life may one day be saved by a man in uniform. According to recent reports, police in Columbus, OH shot and killed a man who stormed into a central Ohio restaurant wielding a machete and randomly attacking citizens at their dinner tables. Four unsuspecting diners were injured in the brutal attack at Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, and were quickly transported to an area hospital to recover. The attacker was identified as 30-year-old Mohamed Barry. There was no rhyme or reason as to who he was going after, Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner told reporters. CBS News reports that investigators are running down leads in an attempt to determine whether the attack was in any way tied to terrorist organizations. Barry reportedly walked into the restaurant, had a conversation with an employee and then left. He returned about a half hour later and began attacking. He eventually fled the scene and led the police on a short chase, before he was run off the road by authorities. Wielding a machete and a knife, Barry was eventually shot and killed by officers. Authorities suspect the attacker has a Somali background. They fear that this is a lone wolf terrorist attack. What do you think about this attack? 
1	Following revelations last week that priests in Wisconsin and Italy were responsible for molesting more than 250 young deaf boys, millions around the country expressed shock and outrage over the very thing they had been endlessly milking as a source of humor for the past 10 years. 'I am stunned and disgusted that this incredibly abhorrent thing that I was just joking with a coworker about the other day has actually occurred,' Seattle resident Jess Voigt said. 'Even though I have been humorously referring to this particular subject almost nonstop for the past decade, I am absolutely blindsided by this unexpected and disturbing news.' Members of the American populace vowed to shake their heads and drop the subject from their ribald office banter for at least two weeks before drawing on these unfortunate events to make approximately 13 million more jokes about choirboys. 
2	Obama Impeachment Process Takes Major Steps Forward... His Time Is Coming To An End According to recent reports, Representative Ted Yoho of Florida has been planning to introduce a resolution designed to set the Houses definition of high crimes and misdemeanors that would challenge Obamas actions. The measure is being called the single most important move being made by Republicans toward the impeachment of Barack Obama. The resolution lists, among other things, failing to take care that the laws be faithfully executed and substituting executive agreements for treaties as two key crimes that are considered impeachable. Eleven actions are listed in total, and Obama is guilty of many of them. His most notable violation is his blatant refusal to enforce immigration laws. Yoho says that he is confident his resolution will cause a firestorm. Still, he maintains that this is strictly about the rule of law and that he doesnt intend to back down any time soon. Yoho also claims that many of Obamas moves have been blatant, in-your-face Im above the law and Im going to do what I want. Im a dictator, Im a king. What do you think? Do you agree with Yoho and his legislation? 
1	CRAWFORD, TXAccording to White House sources, following yet another disappointing grading period for the nation he leads, President Bush hid the national report card in his bedroom sock drawer Monday. 'We, as a nation, got a D in international relations, a D in economics, and an F in military history,' Bush reportedly said. 'We must work hard to make sure no one finds out about this.' Critics say the report-card-hiding effort is immature, and point out that the sock drawer is the first place The New York Times will look. 
1	After the veteran quarterback strongly refuted earlier reports that he would leave the Steelers this offseason, sources confirmed Wednesday that Pittsburgh residents were horrified to learn Ben Roethlisberger considers the city his home. I always assumed he stayed here while the Steelers were playing and then went back to Ohio during the offseason, but he wants to live here for good? said 41-year-old Pittsburgh native Melissa Galewski, who confirmed that learning the two-time Super Bowl winner has settled down and plans to live in Pittsburgh for years to come is beyond disturbing. I mean, he called himself a Pittsburgher and said he wants to raise his kids here. The fact that he even has a child in the first place is already upsetting enough, but the thought of running into Ben Roethlisberger on the sidewalk or at the grocery store in 15 or 20 years time is just...I really dont like this. Sources later confirmed that in light of Roethlisbergers declaration, property values in Pittsburgh had plummeted by 800 percent. 
1	After reading an article about Muslim rituals, curious homemaker Frances Parker decided to give bowing toward Mecca a shot Tuesday. 'I guess I just wanted to see what it'd feel like,' Parker said of the few minutes she set aside to lay a colorful blanket on the ground, draw the curtains, and look up which direction Mecca was from her house in Boise. 'It was kind of neat.' While she admitted performing the ritual five times a day seemed 'a bit much,' the mother of two told reporters she might try to work in another bow tomorrow and see how that goes. 
1	In an effort to revitalize the company after years of stagnant profits, BakeCo Inc., makers of Good Twist Pretzels and Fluffy Brand Cream Cakes, announced plans Monday to move their Newark-based production facility underseas. BakeCo's new underwater headquarters. 'This move is long overdue,' said Jeremy Helheman, vice president of marketing for BakeCo. 'Many exciting possibilities lie ahead for us at the bottom of the ocean.' The 30-year-old company's new bakery, manufacturing center, and office complex will be located in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 20,000 fathoms beneath the sea. 'We realized the time had come for us to manufacture and deliver snack-food convenience items from the sea floor,' Helheman said. 'We have a responsibility to our shareholders to remain competitive in the 21st century. And if we don't take advantage of the opportunities of an underseas operation, our competitors will.' Helheman said the company will transfer many of its 1,300 employees to the underwater production facility, a decision that has left this working-class community reeling at the prospects of an economic downturn. 'We care about the Newark community,' Helheman said. 'It's never an easy choice to relocate jobs to the cold, inhospitable abyss of the deep seas, but the competitive realities of the baked-goods industry leave us little choice.' Helheman predicted that BakeCo employees will come to enjoy working several miles below sea level. 'Once they are trained and certified in scuba diving and learn to cohabit with humpback whales, sea urchins, and schools of beautifully colored fish, our employees are likely to treasure their wondrous new work environment,' he said. 'And within five short years, we should see a sharp drop in debilitating cases of the bends.' BakeCo executives assured stockholders that the move will not affect the company's popular snack-food products. 'We're not changing the taste of Good Twist Pretzels or Mini Twists that America has come to love,' said Helheman, as company representatives passed out soggy and disintegrating pretzel samples manufactured at the underseas facility. 'Yes, many of the baked goods may taste a little more salty, and may also be crushed into microscopic pellets by the 7,000 pounds per square inch of water pressure that surrounds us at all times, but we will do everything we can to continue in the BakeCo tradition.' Added Helheman: 'At BakeCo, even if much of our inventory will likely dissolve into a watery silt and then be devoured by sea-bed scavengers such as crabs, ling, and elephant fish, we believe quality comes first.' Executives admitted that relocating to the floor of the world's second-largest ocean does present some challenges, such as the corrosion of equipment in saltwater, coral overgrowth in offices, and the constant threat of attack by predatory marine life. Concerned about these difficulties, many employees and community leaders have spoken out strongly against the move. 'In addition to working underwater for eight hours a day with cumbersome oxygen tanks strapped to their backs, our workers are under constant threat from barracuda and other deadly undersea predators,' said Local Food Producer's Union 443 President Marty Frankheim, who represents many members of the displaced workforce. According to Frankheim, the main parking garage, built on the sea floor adjacent to the new headquarters, leaves workers dangerously exposed to shark attacks as they swim from the garage to the office entrance. 'Throughout the eight-month construction of the garage, tiger sharks have routinely threatened and occasionally fed on workers,' Frankheim said. Helheman downplayed any work hazards in the new location. 'We're doing everything we can to create a safe working environment for the BakeCo team,' Helheman said. 'But once a tiger shark has attacked a victim, other sharks are attracted to the blood in the water, creating a feeding frenzy among the sharks.' Helheman did, however, warn employees and visitors touring the plant to avoid contact with moray eels, blue-ring octopi, and the dozens of species of sea snakes who make their homes near the plant. All of these animals are known to be aggressive and territorial, and may lurk in workers' lockers, in desk drawers, or dart about freely on the plant floor. 'While we're excited to be in our new undersea home, a frightened sea creature may feel threatened by our presence,' Helheman said. 'Employees should always use caution, especially during the blue ring's mating season.' The bite of a blue-ring octopus delivers a neuromuscular paralyzing venom more deadly than that of any land animal. Despite setbacks, Helheman was optimistic about BakeCo's move. 'We have high expectations for forging great new relationships with our undersea neighbors,' Helheman said. 'Bold new possibilities await us at the bottom of the sea.' 
2	Sarah Palin Calls On The 50 States To Do This To Stop Obama... It Just Might Work It is clear that President Barack Obama and his administration have stepped out of line, and the federal government isnt far behind. The topic about how best to approach the federal government is a controversial one, with varying opinions on the most effective course of action. One way to limit their power is an Article V Convention of the States, which would pass new amendments designed to set restrictions on the power of the government. That course of action just received a favorable vote from Sarah Palin, who is calling for a convention in Virginia. The idea is really the last recourse of the citizens to rein in D.C. and restore our country to a constitutionally limited federal government, Palin wrote to her Facebook followers, on behalf of a Virginia group called Citizens for Self Governance. Three states have already successfully passed legislation calling for a convention of the states, and right now its Virginias turn. The beauty of this process is that neither the president nor Congress has the authority to stop it. It is truly in the hands of We the People. The position is also backed by Mark Meckler, part of Citizens for Self Governance. In an interview with The Washington Examiner, Meckler claimed, Soon well be at the halfway point, 17 states, needed to call for an Article V convention to restrain the federal governments reach and power. According to reports, a number of states have already started the process of applying for a Convention. What do you think of the call to action?

After the tragic death of Carrie Fisher and her mother Debbie Reynolds, Sheen took to twitter to wish that Trump becomes the next person to die. This is just one of many disturbing comments weve seen from liberals this yearwho have stopped trying to take the high road altogether. Instead, they seem intent on targeting families, insulting leaders and even calling for another tragic death. Trump next, please! ???????? Charlie Sheen (@charliesheen) December 29, 2016 
3	The Wolf Is Guarding the Hen House: The Governments War on CyberterrorismJohn W. Whitehead Nothing you write, say, text, tweet or share via phone or computer is private anymore. As constitutional law professor Garrett Epps points out, Big Brother is watching. Big Brother may be watching you right now, and you may never know. Since 9/11, our national life has changed forever. Surveillance is the new normal. This is the reality of the internet-dependent, plugged-in life of most Americans today. A process which started shortly after 9/11 with programs such as Total Information Awareness (the predecessor to the governments present surveillance programs) has grown into a full-fledged campaign of warrantless surveillance, electronic tracking and data mining, thanks to federal agents who have been given carte blanche access to the vast majority of electronic communications in America. Their methods completely undermine constitution safeguards, and yet no federal agency, president, court or legislature has stepped up to halt this assault on our rights. All the while, Congress, the courts, and the president (starting with George W. Bush and expanding exponentially under Barack Obama) continue to erect an electronic concentration camp the likes of which have never been seen before. A good case in point is the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), formerly known as CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act). Sold to the public as necessary for protecting us against cyber attacks or internet threats such as hacking, this Orwellian exercise in tyranny-masquerading-as-security actually makes it easier for the government to spy on Americans, while officially turning Big Business into a government snitch. Be warned: this cybersecurity bill is little more than a wolf in sheeps clothing or, as longtime critic Senator Ron Wyden labeled it, a surveillance bill by another name. Lacking any significant privacy protections, CISA, which sacrifices privacy without improving security, will do for surveillance what the Patriot Act did for the governments police powers: it will expand, authorize and normalize the governments intrusions into the most intimate aspects of our lives to such an extent that there will be no turning back. In other words, it will ensure that the Fourth Amendment, which protects us against unfounded, warrantless government surveillance, does not apply to the Internet or digital/electronic communications of any kind. In a nutshell, CISA would make it legal for the government to spy on the citizenry without their knowledge and without a warrant under the guise of fighting cyberterrorism. It would also protect private companies from being sued for sharing your information with the government, namely the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in order to prevent terrorism or an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm. Law enforcement agencies would also be given broad authority to sift through ones data for any possible crimes. What this means is that you dont even have to be suspected of a crime to be under surveillance. The bar is set so low as to allow government officials to embark on a fishing expedition into your personal affairsemails, phone calls, text messages, purchases, banking transactions, etc.based only on their need to find and fight crime. Take this anything-goes attitude towards government surveillance, combine it with Big Business complicity over the governments blatantly illegal acts, the ongoing trend towards overcriminalization, in which minor acts are treated as major crimes, and the rise of private prisons, which have created a profit motive for jailing Americans, and you have all the makings of a fascist police state. So who can we count on to protect us from the threat of government surveillance? It wont be the courts. Not in an age of secret courts, secret court rulings, and an overall deference by the courts to anything the government claims is necessary to its fight against terrorism. Most recently, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a case challenging the governments massive electronic wiretapping program. As Court reporter Lyle Denniston notes: Daoud v. United States was the first case, in the nearly four-decade history of electronic spying by the U.S. government to gather foreign intelligence, in which a federal judge had ordered the government to turn over secret papers about how it had obtained evidence through wiretaps of telephones and Internet links. That order, however, was overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, whose ruling was the one the Justices on Monday declined to review. One of the unusual features of the governments global electronic spying program is that the individuals whose conversations or e-mails have been monitored almost never hear about it, because the program is so shrouded in secrecy except when the news media manages to find out some details. But, if the government plans to use evidence it gathered under that program against a defendant in a criminal trial, it must notify the defendant that he or she has been monitored. It wont be Congress, either (CISA is their handiwork, remember), which has failed to do anything to protect the citizenry from an overbearing police state, all the while enabling the government to continue its power grabs. It was Congress that started us down this whole Big Brother road with its passage and subsequent renewals of the USA Patriot Act, whichdrove a stake through the heart of the Bill of Rights. The Patriot Act rendered First Amendment activists potential terrorists; justified broader domestic surveillance; authorized black bag sneak-and-peak searches of homes and offices by government agents; granted the FBI the right to come to your place of employment, demand your personal records and question your supervisors and fellow employees, all without notifying you; allowed the government access to your medical records, school records and practically every personal record about you; allowed the government to secretly demand to see records of books or magazines youve checked out in any public library and Internet sites youve visited. The Patriot Act also gave the government the green light to monitor religious and political institutions with no suspicion of criminal wrongdoing; prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they told anyone that the government had subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation; monitor conversations between attorneys and clients; search and seize Americans papers and effects without showing probable cause; and jail Americans indefinitely without a trial, among other things. And it certainly wont be the president. Indeed, President Obama recently issued an executive order calling on private companies (phone companies, banks, Internet providers, you name it) to share their customer data (your personal data) with each other and, most importantly, the government. Heres the problem, however: while Obama calls for vague protections for privacy and civil liberties without providing any specific recommendations, he appoints the DHS to oversee the information sharing and develop guidelines with the attorney general for how the government will collect and share the data. Talk about putting the wolf in charge of the hen house. Mind you, this is the same agency, rightly dubbed a wasteful, growing, fear-mongering beast, that is responsible for militarizing the police, weaponizing SWAT teams, spying on activists, stockpiling ammunition, distributing license plate readers to state police, carrying out military drills in American cities, establishing widespread surveillance networks through the use of fusion centers, funding city-wide surveillance systems, accelerating the domestic use of drones, andgenerally establishing itself as the nations standing army, i.e., a national police force. This brings me back to the knotty problem of how to protect Americans from cyber attacks without further eroding our privacy rights. Dependent as we are on computer technology for almost all aspects of our lives, its feasible that a cyberattack on American computer networks really could cripple both the nations infrastructure and its economy. So do we allow the government liberal powers to control and spy on all electronic communications flowing through the United States? Can we trust the government not to abuse its privileges and respect our privacy rights? Does it even matter, given that we have no real say in the matter? As I point out in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, essentially, there are three camps of thought on the question of how much power the government should have, and which camp you fall into says a lot about your view of governmentor, at least, your view of whichever administration happens to be in power at the time, for the time being, the one calling the shots being the Obama administration. In the first camp are those who trust the government to do the right thingor, at least, they trust the Obama administration to look out for their best interests. To this group, CISA is simply a desperately needed blueprint for safeguarding us against a possible cyberattack, with a partnership between the government and Big Business serving as the most logical means of thwarting such an attack. Any suggestion that the government and its corporate cohorts might abuse this power is dismissed as conspiratorial hysterics. The problem, as technology reporter Adam Clark Estes points out, is that CISA is a privacy nightmare that stomps all over civil liberties without making the country any safer against cyberattacks. In the second camp are those who not only dont trust the government but think the government is out to get them. Sadly, theyve got good reason to distrust the government, especially when it comes to abusing its powers and violating our rights. For example, consider that government surveillance of innocent Americans has exploded over the past decade. In fact, Wall Street Journal reporter Julia Angwin has concluded that, as a result of its spying and data collection, the U.S. government has more data on American citizens than the Stasi secret police had on East Germans. To those in this second group, CISA is nothing less than the writing on the wall that surveillance is here to stay, meaning that the government will continue to monitor, regulate and control all means of communications. Then theres the third camp, which neither sees government as an angel or a devil, but merely as an entity that needs to be controlled, or as Thomas Jefferson phrased it, bound down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution. A distrust of all who hold governmental power was rife among those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. James Madison, the nations fourth president and the author of the Bill of Rights, was particularly vocal in warning against government. He once observed, All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree. To those in the third camp, the only way to ensure balance in government is by holding government officials accountable to abiding by the rule of law. Unfortunately, with all branches of the government, including the courts, stridently working to maintain its acquired powers, and the private sector marching in lockstep, there seems to be little to protect the American people from the fast-growing electronic surveillance state. In the meantime, surveillance has become the new normal, and the effects of this endless surveillance are taking a toll,resulting in a more anxious and submissive citizenry. As Fourth Amendment activist Alex Marthews points out, Mass surveillance is becoming a punchline. Making it humorous makes mass surveillance seem easy and friendly and a normal part of lifewe make uneasy jokes about how we should watch what we say, about the government looking over our shoulders, about cameras and informers and eyes in the sky. Even though we may not in practice think that these agencies pay us any mind, mass surveillance still creates a chilling effect: We limit what we search for online and inhibit expression of controversial viewpoints. This more submissive mentality isnt a side effect. As far as anyone is able to measure, its the main effect of mass surveillance. The effect of such programs is not primarily to thwart attacks by foreign terrorists on U.S. soil; its to discourage challenges to the security services authority over our lives here at home.

3	Court Victory for Occupy Protester Who Was Shot by Oakland PoliceLily Dane A few minutes after he arrived, police commanders gave the order to use munitions on the crowd to encourage them to disperse. Scott, who served two tours of duty in Iraq as a U.S. Marine, was shot in the head by a less lethal munition. The lead filled bean bag round, fired from an Oakland police officers 12 gauge shotgun, shattered Scotts skull and caused permanent damage to part of his brain. The City of Oakland has agreed to pay Scott a settlement of $4.5 million to compensate him for his injury. The settlement in Olsen v. City of Oakland is pending final approval by the Oakland City Council. WeCopWatch.org reported the details of the case: Mr. Olsen was represented by attorneys Jim Chanin, Rachel Lederman, and Julie Houk. After serving two tours of duty as a United States Marine in Iraq, Scott Olsen could never have imagined that he would be shot in the head by an Oakland Police officer while he was peacefully exercising his First Amendment rights in support of the budding Occupy economic justice movement, said Rachel Lederman. Scott was 24 years old when the shooting and ensuing brain damage robbed him of what had been a promising career as a computer network and systems administrator. Jim Chanin said, There was no dispute that Scott Olsen never posed a threat and was protesting peacefully. He was shot because OPD commanders decided to simultaneously use chemical agents to disperse the demonstrators and have officers shoot impact munitions at anyone who might be throwing something even though this violated their own written policies. The obviously foreseeable result was that the officers shot people who were desperately trying to flee the scene, including Mr. Olsen. Lederman explained, The commanders knew the teargas and flashbangs would cause people to panic and run, yet they elected to shoot SIM into the densely packed crowd and it is only a matter of luck that more people werent injured as severely as Scott Olsen or killed. If the police had done sufficient planning for the demonstration and followed their own Crowd Control Policy, the use of weapons could have entirely been avoided. After all, no other Bay Area city responded to Occupy with SIM or teargas and no other city has incurred the enormous costs that the people of Oakland have as a result. When concerned protesters rushed to Scotts aid, they were scared off when OPD Officer Robert Roche threw a flashbang-like CS Blast grenade (tear gas) at them. Scotts fellow protesters persisted and managed to carry him to safety. They yelled for medical aid. None of the law enforcement personnel responded or called for medical attention, even though their own policy requires them to provide medical aid to anyone hit with a SIM. Oakland police moved to fire Roche after the incident. He has been involved in at least three fatal shootings and is fighting his termination, according to sources. City Attorney Barbara Parker said the city will pay Olsen $1.4 million and that the citys insurance carrier will pay the balance. Attorney Chanin said of the settlement: Its a very sad day, not only for Scott, whos going to have to start his life all over, but for the city of Oakland, which has been hit with yet another unnecessary lawsuit with a very large settlement that could have been used for the public good while Scott went on with his life, without his injury. Scott isnt the only victim who was awarded a large settlement resulting from misconduct at the Oakland Occupy demonstration: In July, 2013, the Oakland City Council approved a $1,170,000 settlement in a civil rights lawsuit brought by Rachel Lederman, Jim Chanin, and other attorneys on behalf of journalist Scott Campbell and 11 other persons. A separate lawsuit was resolved in December, 2013, for $645,000. As part of the Campbell settlement and a companion $1,025,000 settlement in Spalding v. City of Oakland, regarding unlawful mass arrests of protesters, the City and OPD again agreed to abide by the negotiated Crowd Control Policy and gave U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson the power to enforce compliance with the policy for up to seven years. (source) Attorney Lederman said that the department is not complying with the terms of the lawsuits: OPD has refused to get rid of so-called less lethal weapons such as CS Blast grenades and lead shot filled beanbags, and until they do so, it is only a matter of time before we see another tragedy. Scott said the only cost isnt monetary: The cost is not only money. If people cant speak out without fear of being shot we dont really have democracy.

2	Michelle Obamas Offensive Tweet On Anniversary Of 9/11 Will Disturb You After spending a day in remembrance of the attacks that happened 13 years ago on September 11, Americans found a shocking surprise on their social media sites. First Lady Michelle Obama was tweeting about her and Baracks experience working with the kids at event. Unfortunately, the event was hosted by a charitable group called KaBoom. The result was a very shocking tweet from the First Ladys twitter account: The President FLOTUS joined millions to #Remember911 with service by assembling backpacks with @KaBOOM volunteers. It is interesting that Michelles PR rep didnt catch that one before she posted it, because the tweet took off like wildfire across social media. Followers of the First Lady used the incident as just another example of Michelles notorious insensitivity. And while the non-profit organization is definitely worth supporting, the tweet shows just how clueless the Obamas can be when it comes to the American public. 
2	You Wont Believe What Malia And Sasha Did Last Night Though they claim to represent the people, the Obamas have proven to be absolutely clueless when it comes to the struggles that Americans face on a day to day basis. While millions of Americans are struggling to survive, the Obama family is attending lavish partiesdecked out in gowns and suits that are probably paid for by American taxpayers. According to reports, the first state dinner of Obamas final year in office took place this week, and it was attended by his two daughters. As usual, Michelle Obama appeared wearing an expensive designer gown, which was later criticized for being inappropriate for a woman over 50. However, if there is anything Michelle Obama has demonstrated, its that she has very little shame. And they are passing this behavior on to their daughters, who also showed up in designer gowns. What do you think? Are you tired of the Obamas throwing away taxpayer dollars to fuel their ridiculous lifestyle?

1	According to a recent study conducted by a team of physicists at Stanford University, there is no logical explanation why airplanes are able to fly through the air. 'We understand the concepts of 'lift' and 'thrust,' but airplanes weigh like 800,000 pounds,' head researcher Gabe Koplowitz said. 'How does a huge metal tube just float up there in the sky without falling? And it's not even 'floating,' really, even though it looks like it is, because it's going 500 mph. Which means that when I'm sitting in an airplane, I'm actually going 500 mph, too. Me, Gabe Koplowitz. Jesus, how come we all don't vomit or have our hair blow back?' The study posited a number of potential theories to explain the phenomenon, including wind propulsion, suspension of gravity, and the possibility that clouds 'pull' the plane skyward. The Stanford team plans to devote the next two years to a new study on why telephones hear. 
1	Local police officials are 'utterly baffled' by a bottle-shaped paper bag that local resident Jimmy Kilty held while sitting on an East Side strip-mall bench Monday. The mysterious paper bag that has confounded Sgt. Ted Vittorio (inset) and other police officers. 'It's a real mystery,' said Sgt. Ted Vittorio of the Bridgeport Police Department. 'Judging from the way he kept putting the paper bag up to his mouth, you'd think he was drinking something out of it. But obviously he wasn't, since paper can't hold liquid. It would soak right through instantly.' Vittorio said he was making his normal patrol of the area when he noticed Kilty clutching the strange bag. 'It's part of my job to monitor for loitering and public intoxication, so when I spotted Kilty sitting on the bench, I slowed down to survey the scene,' Vittorio said. 'I thought maybe he was drinking, but, as it turned out, he was just repeatedly putting a paper bag up to his face. Such behavior may be strange, but it's certainly not illegal, so I moved on.' Kilty, 32, who remains on the bench as of press time, reportedly spent his first three hours greeting passersby. At approximately 4:15 p.m., he was joined by two male companions, who intermittently held the paper bag and took turns disappearing behind the thick hedges that border the parking lot. With so few leads, police can only speculate as to what the bag contains. 'Whatever's in there, it's got to be pretty heavy, because otherwise why would the men need to take turns holding it?' police chief Edgar Rudolph said. 'And we know it's not liquor, because everyone in town is well aware of Bridgeport City Ordinance Title 9, Chapter 4, Article 4, which clearly states that it is unlawful for any person within city limits to possess any alcoholic beverage in any public place, or to transport any alcoholic beverage upon any public street, sidewalk, pedestrian mall, alleyway or thoroughfare where such alcoholic beverage is in a receptacle which has been opened, or the seal of which has been broken, or the contents of which have been partially removed.' 'Besides,' Rudolph continued, 'just for the sake of argument, let's say that those men were willing to risk arrest and a $110 fine for public drinking. They certainly would have taken the extra 10 seconds to make it a little less obvious by simply pouring the alcohol into a soda can or paper cup or something. No one could be that stupid.'

1	According to a male lion currently dying on the Serengeti Plain, his agonizing demise certainly doesn't seem as though it's part of some transcendent cosmic circle of life, but rather as if hes slowly and painfully bleeding to death. The expiring lion, who dragged his weakened body onto an isolated patch of grassland Monday after being mortally wounded by a poacher, confirmed to reporters that he is not experiencing a tranquil, satisfying sense of harmony with the universe, but is instead mainly feeling intense physical torment brought on by a fatal wound to the abdomen. 'I could be wrong, and maybe this is all an enchanting and noble chapter in life's great cosmic narrative, but right now it pretty much just feels like I'm dying alone on the ground in a puddle of my own blood,' said the 500-pound big cat, releasing a deep moan as violent spasms seized his body. 'Shouldn't I be feeling a stirring sensation of kinship with all living creatures or something? Yeah, I'm not getting any of that.' 'Plus, I was illegally shot by a poacher. How does that fit into this ancient, majestic cycle in which all of nature is connected as a unified being?' the lion added. Observing his surroundings, the moribund lion reported that he has seen no brilliant gleaming light shining down from the heavens that makes him realize he's part of a sacred tradition as old as life itself, nor has a hush seemed to fall over the land in a reverent acknowledgment of his passing. In addition, the large African mammal noted that succumbing to a gunshot wound hasn't resulted in a spiritual awakening in which he suddenly feels at one with the universe, so much as it has made him feel terrified, alone, and utterly insignificant. The lion also reported that he has heard no triumphant string music backed by thundering tribal drums swelling all around him, but rather only the sound of flies buzzing around his soon-to-be lifeless body. 'I guess I thought there'd be a choir of chanting, melodic voices, and that all the animals of the African valley would gather on a distant ridge to respectfully view my last moments and recognize our essential interconnectedness,' said the lion, drawing his last labored breaths. 'But there's nobody else around at all, except those vultures.' Added the lion, 'Am I supposed to feel pride and great dignity knowing that my body will decay and a bunch of birds will eagerly tear into my rotting flesh with their beaks?' As he closes his eyes for the final time before yielding to one last series of convulsions, the lion is reportedly pondering whether shitting all over himself really played any role at all in some vast, beautiful, and endless saga of life, death, and rebirth. 
3	Private Disaster Relief in Louisiana Outperforms the Government Lives and Property SavedBy Matt Agorist After the rain stopped, however, is when the real suffering began as people began to assess the damage to their homes. But as soon as the shock subsided, individuals pooled their resources and an immediate and private recovery effort was underway. Conveniently, as we pointed out last week, the media chose to ignore it as it was not divisive enough to report. In spite of the lack of media coverage, amazing things were happening in Southern Louisiana. 11 days later, some homes along the river are still underwater. But that did not stop people from banding together and helping everyone out. Those who did not floodhelped those who did race and political beliefs did not matter nor did anyone sit around and wait for the government to rush in to rescue them. There are tens of thousands of houses across the state which now look like the one in the image below, taken a few miles from my home, and people are still helping others. However, it will take a lot of money to get things back in order a lot of money that the people of Louisiana do not have. Because this level of rain was unprecedented, houses that have been here for decades and have never flooded, actually got water. Because these houses, under normal conditions, are not labeled as being in a flood zone, many of these folks did not need to buy flood insurance. As a result, most of the houses that flooded will not be covered by their homeowner insurance plans leaving them completely and utterly devastated. This catastrophe, however, has united the community and shown how people, not government, are able to pick up the pieces. Before the National Guard was deployed, members of the community rescued thousands of people from their homes. Instead of waiting idly by for the state to act, the people of Louisiana used their own boats, and formed a Cajun Navy. A Facebook group was formed in which people would post their GPS location and, within minutes, community members in their boats were there to save them. This private effort is undoubtedly responsible for saving the lives of thousands not to mention, their pets and livestock too. As Kevin Boyd wrote in FEE.org, The people of Louisiana also distributed immediate relief to their displaced neighbors much more efficiently than the government was able to. One of the best examples of this was the conversion of a movie studio into a shelter housing over 2,000 people. The Celtic Media Centre is one of Louisianas premier film production studios located in Baton Rouge, which was one of the cities hardest hit by the flooding. The studios executive director, Patrick Mulhearn, saw how devastated his neighbors were by the high water and decided to open up Celtic as an emergency shelter. Celtic was able to shelter over 2,000 evacuees in large, open, and air conditioned sound stages that were not being used for filming at the time. The shelter was supplied at first by local volunteers who donated food, water, and clothing to those affected by the storm. Volunteer doctors and other medical personnel, themselves often flood victims, set up a clinic in Celtic. Importantly in a pet loving state like Louisiana, Celtic was open to pets as well. Many people did not evacuate during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 because their pets were not welcome at shelters. Churches also opened their doors to those in need and took up food and supply donations for families in need. Days before the Red Cross or the government showed up, people were already being sheltered, fed, and cared for. Instead of waiting for FEMA, private individuals launched Facebook groups in which people could list their needs and those who had the means of fulfilling those needs, would act. Meanwhile, FEMA is passing out flyers at Costco. Groups of volunteers were walking house to house in the hardest hit areas and going to work. As soon as the flood waters receded, demolition, floor, and Sheetrock removal were underway. All of this was done by volunteers without costing the homeowners or taxpayers a dime. As Boyd points out, the wait for help from the government, that never came, after Katrina led to the deaths of 1,500 people. I, personally, was part of a massive rescue effort during Katrina, very similar to the ones that took place this time. I was part of a caravan of over 1,000 boats from around the area who met up and headed to New Orleans to save people. However, we were headed off by police and National Guard who told us that wed be arrested if we attempted to launch our boats and save people. Luckily, that didnt happen this time. While the federal government was giving anti-discrimination lecturesto flood victims, reports Boyd, the Cajun Navy was rescuing people of all races. Louisiana hascome together like never before. Aside from the individual efforts, private business, both national and local, came to the aid of victims as well. Nearly every grocery store in town has tents set up in their parking lots to take in donations for families in need. Gofundme accounts were set up for those who had no flood insurance. Local businesses, like Parish Ink, sold special items and donated 100% of the proceeds to flood victims. As government scrambles to manage public relations, the recovery and aid are well under way thanks to the private efforts of non-government entities. Louisiana has a long way to go before we are fully recovered, but one thing is certain the community, not the state, will make sure that recovery is successful.

2	What Michelle Obama Just Demanded Of Our Veterans Is Sickening Well, it is no surprise that Michelle Obama is once again sticking her nose where it doesnt belong. According to recent reports, the First Lady wants women who have ended their career in the military to try to find another job. According to Michelle, women veterans should show of their skills. And while she is dressing it up with pride, what Michelle is really doing is pushing women to go back to work. She no doubt is addressing recent information that the unemployment rate of women veterans is higher than that of men. Some suspect that this has to do with women wanting to stay home with their families for some time before going back to the work force. Of course, Michelle misinterprets this for laziness. 
2	Hillary Clinton Proclaims Her Love For Islam, What She Said Is Unbelievable America was founded on Christian beliefs. But you wouldnt know that listening to President Barack Obama or presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Time and time again, in the wake of tragedy, Clinton and Obama have come to the defense of Muslims. They have essentially ignored attacks on Christians. I want to remind us, particularly our Republican friends, that George Bush was right, Clinton said in a recent speech, referencing a comment made by Bush in 2001. We must all stand up against offensive, inflammatory, hateful anti-Muslim rhetoric, Clinton continued. You know, not only do these comments cut against everything we stand for as Americans, they are also dangerous. Clinton is not the first to make the absurd inference that Americans treatment of Muslims is of more concern than the repeated terrorist attacks on our country in the name of Allah. To all of our Muslim American brothers and sisters, this is your country too, Clinton enthusiastically concluded. And Im proud to be your fellow American. What do you think of Hillarys comments? Is it clear her priorities are in the wrong place? Will she make an even bigger mess of the White House than Obama did? 
3	Mainstream Economists: The U.S. Economy Shrank In Q1, But Better Days Are Just Around The CornerMichael Snyder None of them seem the least bit concerned that another major recession is rapidly approaching. Instead, they just blamed the bad number for the first quarter on a severe winter, and the financial markets responded to the GDP news quite cheerfully. In fact, the SP 500 soared to another brand new record high. No matter how bad the numbers get, almost everyone in the financial world seems quite optimistic. But is there actually good reason to have such optimism? As Zero Hedge has pointed out, if it wasnt for dramatically increased healthcare spending due to the implementation of Obamacare, U.S. GDP would have actually dropped at a 2 percent annual rate during the first quarter of 2014. That would have been an absolutely disastrous number. But within a very short time of the revised U.S. GDP number being released, the mainstream media was inundated with positive stories about the news. For example, CNN published a story entitled U.S. economy shrinks, but its not a big deal and CNBC released a survey of nine prominent economists that showed that their consensus forecast for the second quarter of 2014 is GDP growth at a 3.74 percent annual rate. It just seems like almost everyone wants to forget about what happened during the first quarter and wants to look ahead to a great number for quarter two. For example, just check out these quotes Stuart Hoffman, the chief economist for PNC Bank: The first quarter was disappointing, but rather than view that as an omen of a recession or the first of a down leg in the economy, I see the seeds of a big bounce back in spring. Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics: For those worried about a recession, its worth remembering that employment increased by nearly 300,000 in April. The Bank of Tokyos Chris Rupkey: 2Q growth seen at nearly 4% Weak 1Q is stone cold dead as an indicator of where the economy is headed. Jan Hatzius of Goldman Sachs: Because of weaker inventory investment in Q1, we increased our Q2 GDP tracking estimate by two-tenths to 3.9%. Dun Bradstreet Credibility Corp. CEO Jeffrey Stibel: Using an alternative model for projecting job growth, we see an entirely different scenario, one in which the U.S. unemployment rate will fall below 5 percent by no later than the middle of next year. Hopefully they are right. Hopefully we are not heading into another recession. But as I discussed in an article earlier this week, evidence continues to mount that another recession has already begun for much of the country. And there was another number that was released today that seems to confirm this. According to CNBC, there was a 6 percent drop in exports in the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the first quarter of 2013 We saw a similar decline happen in mid-2008 as the U.S. economy plunged into recession. And Bloombergs Consumer Comfort index has fallen to the lowest level that we have seen in six months. U.S. consumers are increasingly tapped out, and the ongoing retail apocalypse is evidence of that fact. A declining middle class simply cannot support the massive retail infrastructure that America has developed. As the middle class has fallen to pieces, it was just a matter of time before big trouble started erupting for the retail industry. This is something thatDavid Stockman recently wrote about Without middle class jobs, you cant have a middle class. That is why our employment crisis is at the very heart of our economic problems. Even using the governments highly manipulated unemployment figures, there are still quite a few cities out there that have official unemployment rates in the double digits But of course the truth is that if the government actually used honest numbers, the unemployment rate for the entire nation would be in double digits. And as I like to remind people, according to the governments own numbers approximately 20 percent of the families in the entire nation do not have a single member that is employed. So how is it possible that the unemployment rate is just a little above 6 percent? It is a giant sham. But that is what they want. They want us feeling good and thinking that everything is going to be okay. Unfortunately, they used the same approach back in 2007 and 2008, and we all remember how that turned out.

1	Calling the practice a proven method for keeping players engaged, several Nevada casinos confirmed this week they often tell patrons that the rest of civilization has been obliterated in a worldwide catastrophic event and that the gambling facilities contain the last vestiges of humanity left on earth. Whenever our security cameras spot someone empty their last cup of quarters or walk away from a gaming table, we send an employee over to inform them that society as we know it no longer exists and that the world beyond our lobby is an uninhabitable wasteland, Luxor general manager Paul Milton said, adding that they typically soften the blow by offering customers a complimentary drink or free tickets to see Criss Angel. Its surprising how quickly most people will return to the casino floor once theyve been told that everyone theyve ever cared about has been vaporized in an inescapable cataclysm and that our walls are their only shield against deadly radiation. In fact, for the slots players, you can barely get two words out about humankinds downfall before theyve turned around and started hurrying back to the machines. For less compliant patrons, Milton added that the casino will typically throw in a free night in its hotel while they decide if they want to stay and gamble or venture out and take their chances with The Horde. 
2	You Wont Believe The New Stamps The Post Office Is Selling... As we all known, the post office receives submissions for new stamps all of the time. Many of the ideas are immediately thrown out or deemed unacceptable by the public, while others are carefully reviewed and process. According to reports, Michelle Obama has now submitted an idea, and the post office is actually looking into it to see whether the stamp is worth producing. Of course, the stamp aligns with Michelles agenda to push health and fitness, in hopes of helping people understand the importance of living a healthy life. These stamps have never made it into circulation, although they cost nearly $100,000 to print. The delay is due to the fact that some of the stamps show children who arent wearing appropriate safety gear. If they are sold, the profit will be around $20 million. 
3	Ukraine False Flag Emails: Real or Fake?Brandon Turbeville If accurate, one such plan involves causing problems to the transport hubs in the south-east of Ukraine in order to frame-up the neighbor a quote allegedly attributed to Gresh. The emails allegedly involve Gresh stating that such an attack will create favorable conditions for the Pentagon to act. The unconfirmed group also claims that Protsyk writes to an individual identified as Vasil in another communication where he tells the man to arrange an attack on a Ukrainian Air Force Base housing the 25 Aviation Brigade in Melitopol. Vasil is apparently responsible for arranging the nuts and bolts of the attack, gathering gunmen, and providing them with maps and locations of sites to be attacked, according to the group and the emails it claims to have hacked. While some chatter has taken place across the Internet in regards to this story, it has not yet been confirmed by this writer, selfnews Post, or, to my knowledge, any other media organization as legitimate. Unfortunately, with leaks of this nature, it is virtually impossible to confirm the veracity of the claims made therein, particularly within a short timeframe. The alleged emails state: Respectfully, Jason P. Gresh http://ukraine.usembassy.gov/ EMAIL TO PROTSYK FROM UKRAINE OFFICIAL EMAIL FROM PROTSYK Keep in mind that, while such a false flag attack is well within the realm of possibility, a large amount of disinformation is often circulated via the Internet during moments of crisis. Many of these elements of disinformation are often deliberately released in order to poison the well of good journalism with stories that seem legitimate but, in fact, are not. This method discredits the reporter and the outfit that reporter is associated with. It is also quite possible that documents are intentionally doctored as a preventative measure to mitigate the fallout in case that document ever gets out. It is important to remember that, in January 2013, emails obtained from a German hacker were sent to Cyber War News, that reportedly showed the defense contractor Britam Defense preparing to stage a false flag chemical weapons attack to be blamed on Assad. British News Agencies reported the scandal and many other outlets reported it as well. In the end, however, Britam sued the Daily Mail over the story and, as a result, many smaller media organizations retracted or removed entirely their reports over the story in order to avoid suit because the emails had been tampered with, time stamps had been changed, and headers were missing. Britam claimed this was evidence that the emails were not authentic. Although many continue to believe that the Britam emails were indeed legitimate but preventatively altered, history can only acknowledge them as fakes, since retractions necessarily followed. Fake or not, the Britam email story is but one example of the treacherous pitfalls facing real journalism in the digital world, particularly in a world in which governments and corporations are more secretive than ever before. With this in mind, it is important not to jump to conclusions as to the veracity of these emails allegedly coming from the U.S. Assistant Military Attach or their relevance. At this moment, they remain a development to watch not a cause for panic.

1	WASHINGTON, DCWashington police seized 22 members of the House of Representatives, 12 members of the Senate, and more than 100 fighting cocks Monday night, in the latest crackdown on blood sports at the highest levels of the U.S. government. Congressmen Don Nickles (R-OK), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Dick Gephardt (D-MO), and John Lewis (D-GA) minutes before their arrest. 'At 1 o'clock this morning, uniformed officers, acting on tips from undercover operatives, staged simultaneous raids on four known beltway pits, arresting a large bipartisan coalition of legislative cockfighting enthusiasts,' D.C. police chief Charles H. Ramsey told reporters Tuesday. 'Of course, we were aware of the longstanding cockfighting problem, but we were shocked to catch so many highly placed lawmakers in the act of betting on, training, and selling fighting birdsor, in the case of [Rep.] Tammy Baldwin [D-WI], operating back-alley clubs.' A full report of evidence gathered in the raids will be issued later this week, but police have released certain facts, including details about a breeding network for elite fighting cocksprized for their extreme aggressiveness and high pain thresholdrun by members of the House Judiciary Committee. Undercover officers said they witnessed committee members selling birds to other congressmen for hundreds of dollars apiece. Evidence also included photos of congressional motor-pool limousines that had been converted into 'crating trucks' to transport cocks from venue to venue. Perhaps most stunning of all were the firsthand sightings of cocks, their crests and wattles surgically removed, being trained to fight with blades tied to their natural spurs in a 400-bird 'hardening pen' in the basement of the Old Executive Office Building, just blocks away from the White House. Detective William Gargano of the D.C. vice squad was present for the previous evening's raid on El Pollo Diablo, a cockfighting pit located among several blocks of abandoned warehouses in southeast D.C. 'I was there shooting undercover video when detectives and animal-control operatives, working in a combined task force, busted down all the doors to the place at once,' Gargano said. 'It had already been shaping up to be one hell of a night. [Sen. Dick] Lugar [R-IN] was a few hundred dollars ahead in the pit. His famous Stag Hammer just couldn't lose. Well, that didn't sit well with [Sen.] Hillary Clinton [D-NY], who accused him of giving his bird ginger and amphetamine suppositories to make it fight harder.' Continued Gargano: 'Then [Sen. Dianne] Feinstein [D-CA] tried to suck her rooster's punctured lung clear so it could last a whole match, but she swallowed too much blood and puked everywhere. [Supreme Court Justice David] Souter had just broken up a fight between [Rep.] Mark Kennedy [R-MN] and [Rep. Jim] Oberstar [D-MN], after they knocked the damn carcass barrel all over the floor. When the raid happened, I was relieved. It was getting pretty dicey in there.' The raids themselves were carried out with minimal resistance. Only Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) needed to be restrained and charged with resisting arrest. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) inspects fighting birds during a cock-buying trip to Tibet. Ramsey said that, though formal charges have yet to be filed, the congressmen taken into custody will most likely be charged with illegal gambling, animal cruelty, and collusion. Nearly all of the arrested cockfighting enthusiasts are out of jail after posting bail. However, not one of the arrested parties, even those who were not elected officials, has agreed to speak openly to reporters. One legislator who asked not to be identified said the charges were 'petty,' and that the indicted members of Congress were victims of a 'witch-hunt.' 'Although violent, cockfighting is a traditional part of the American lawmaker's way of life,' the legislator said. 'It's a sport, with a code of conduct the uninitiated simply wouldn't understand. I'm sure many of the good people of Oklahoma, hypothetically speaking, would agree that there's a place for different people's tastes in this great country. As far as the cruelty charges go, that's ludicrous. I love my fighting cocksmy wife likes to say I treat my champion red-eyes better than I treat herand I'm sure my fellow Congressmen would say much the same.' As troubling as the mere existence of a legislative cockfighting ring may be, lawmakers who were not implicated in the scandal say they are more disturbed by evidence that legislation has been derailed, altered, or passed based on successes and failures in the cockfighting pit. 'One week, the Civic Funding for Secondary Education Act is dead in the water, with no compromise on the horizon,' Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said. 'The very next week, 12 Democrats turn over on their votes. I heard strange rumors that some hefty debt to the Senate Republicans was just erasedsomething involving '10-to-1 odds on a one-eyed Rhode Island Red.' It didn't make sense until this morning, when I flipped on the news and saw all these same senators getting cuffed at the rooster pit in a basement off Constitution.' 'Now that I think about it, this may explain why the Chicken Feed Price Stabilization Act passed through the House so quickly last month,' McCain added. 
2	These Nine States Just Banned YOU From Carrying A Gun, Is Your State On This List? In a disturbing turn of events, one of our countrys highest courts just ruled that the right for people to carry concealed weapons to defend themselves is not protected under the Second Amendment. Numerous lawmakers and other judges were, of course, outraged. Said Alabama Attorney General Luther, who vehemently disagreed with the ruling: The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals held today that residents have no Second Amendment right to carry a firearm outside their home for self-defense. In effect, the appeals court ruled that San Diego County can outlaw guns outside the home by declining to issue anyone a permit. This courts decision is a direct challenge to the Second Amendment and is unconstitutional. California of course was the perpetrator of this change. They passed an anti-gun law requiring people who want a concealed carry permit to show good reason (whatever that means) to have a concealed weapon. Just self-defense was not enough, apparently. The 11 judge 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld this ruling, so now it can be applied to all the states in its jurisdiction, including: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Can this get more absurd? How are these California liberals getting away with chipping away our Second Amendment rights, bit by bit? They need to be stopped! 
3	Intro to Synthetic BiologyTony Cartalucci, Contributor Examples of life forms created include bacteria that change color in the presence of toxins in the environment, and yeasts that are transformed into microscopic factories producing medicine. Professor Davies most important talking point however, centers on the DIYbio movement and how regular people are actively participating in this revolution and how such participation is essential in keeping this technology free and available to all. He points out local DIYbio groups springing up around the world and how amateurs and professionals alike are teaming up to advance this new field of study. He surmises that the great interest in synthetic biology is the ability to actually build things (life forms in this case). While there are threats of people abusing this technology, just as is the case with any other form of technology just like with information technology and computing, the more people that are involved and actively participating and the more decentralized the infrastructure is, the greater our ability collectively is at defending against abuses. The greatest danger is if this technology remains in the hands of large institutions, corporations, and tangled up in a web of contrived intellectual property claims. Ultimately, one walks away from Professor Davies talk with a sense of optimism, but also with a call for action. If we are to harness the full potential of this technology, we will have to roll up our sleeves and get involved. If we fail to do this, the technology will be patented, black-boxed, copyrighted, and monopolized. The fear and real dangers produced by genetic engineering today stems from the fact that immensely corrupt, centralized corporations monopolize the technology and willfully and consistently abuse it to expand profits and control over the very substance of life. The emerging field of DIYbio and synthetic biology gives us a chance to level the playing field and put both the technology and its benefits where they belong in the peoples hands.

2	Its War Now, Hannity Just Kicked Disloyal GOPS To The Curb With This One Fell If there is one thing we know about Fox News Sean Hannity, its that he is not afraid to call it like he sees itespecially when it comes to Republicans who would rather elect Hillary Clinton than our own nominee Donald Trump. Earlier, Hannity sparked a heated debate when he went after Wall Street Journal editor Bret Stephens, who is a vocal Never Trumper. He is incapable of understanding the danger of electing a president who refuses to say the words radical Islam, who supports the Iranian deal that gives the number one state sponsor of terrorism $150 billion and the right to move forward with its nuclear program, Hannity commented. He is an elitist who refuses to recognize that weak, spineless, feckless, visionless Republicans who abandoned every promise they ever made, and every principle they ever espoused, helped facilitate the entire Obama agenda, he continued. He deserves Hillarys Supreme Court selections. He deserves the unvetted refugees living next door to him. He deserves the economy in decline that will continue, and he deserves the consequences of a foreign policy predicated on appeasement. As if these words werent warning another, the Weekly Standars Bill Kristol went after Hannity as well. Hannity was quick to respond to Kristol on Twitter. Omg you are tweeting my boss?? Am I being sent to the Principals office? 3rd grade? Who r u voting for DT or HRC? Hannity Tweeted. Did the Weekly Standard ever make a profit? So who are you voting for DT or HRC? Hannity continued. What do you think? Do you applaud Hannity for speaking his mind and defending the Republican vote? 
3	Popcorn: What You Dont Know But ShouldCatherine J. Frompovich One of the most erudite websites regarding food information and nutrition is NutritionFacts.org with Dr. Michael Greger, MD, who produces videos that expose the real science behind whats in much of the food we eat. Dr. Gregers recent and exceptional video Butter-Flavored Microwave Popcorn or Breathingexemplifies his dedication to science rather than food processing technology for which this writer congratulates him wholeheartedly. If only all MDs had Dr. Gregers zeal for exposing the hazards of food chemicals and food chemistry applications, we probably would have safer agriculture and food processing industries that would not be permitted to put verifiable poisons into the foods we eat without being held accountable for causing health problems. The tobacco industrys 1950s cigarette science ought to be a prime example of what happens when doctors wake up to the real science of whats in tobacco, food, pharmaceuticals, and vaccines. Butter-flavored popcorn is only one of hundreds of examples where the food processing industry misleads us into believing chemicals are better than natural ingredients, as in the butter-flavored microwave popcorn case, i.e., real dairy butter. Nevertheless, after reviewing the scientific studies, which corroborate popcorn lung that Dr. Greger includes in his video, consumers still may need to question something Dr. Greger didnt address: genetically modified corn, also known as GMO corn. Consumers ought to be asking what else or what added dimension(s) does GMO-corn contribute to butter-flavored microwave popcorn, since 76 percent of planted acres in the USA is Bt-corn, while 85 percent of planted acres in the USA is Ht-corn (herbicide tolerant). [2] According to the USDA, Herbicide-tolerant (HT) crops, developed to survive application of specific herbicides that previously would have destroyed the crop along with the targeted weeds, provide farmers with a broader variety of options for effective weed control. [3] Why should that question be asked? Well, the University of California Agriculture Natural Resources websitelists its Before Planting, At Planting, and After Planting Corn Herbicide Treatment Table, which indicates the chemicals used in the widespread practice of spraying corn. However, to appreciate more about the complexities of GMO corn, readers ought to check out the following: Genetically Modified Corn Study Reveals Health Damage and Cover-up http://www.responsibletechnology.org/fraud/rigged-studies/Genetically-Modified-Corn-Study-Reveals-Health-Damage-and-Cover-up-June-2005 Bt-maize (corn) during pollination may trigger disease http://www.responsibletechnology.org/gm-maize-during-pollination 65 Health Risks of GM Foods http://www.responsibletechnology.org/gmo-dangers/65-health-risks/1notes Perhaps this popcorn predicament indicates just one more reason for purchasing and eating organically-grown crops and non-processed foods.

1	Following the Cubs' first-round elimination from the playoffs, a stunned and confused Lou Piniella asked umpires and reporters to clarify the rules of division-series play, claiming he 'could have sworn' that advancing to the NLCS involved losing three games as quickly as possible. 'I thought we had the Diamondbacks right where we wanted themwe looked terrible out there, we had all the momentum on their side, and it seemed like the other team was practically trying to win,' said Piniella, who claims he began getting suspicious before Game 3 due to the ease with which he lost the first two games. 'Though, I guess when you think about it, this way makes lots more sense.' Piniella promised that he would attempt to win the games in the NLDS next year should the Cubs amass the 90 losses needed to make it to the postseason. 
1	In the wake of a series of lapses in presidential security, Secret Service director Julia Pierson appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Tuesday, seemingly unaware that President Obama himself was, at that moment, being chased by an assailant in the background. We have made mistakes, and we want to assure the American people that we are committed to fixing them, Pierson said, as a frantic Obama ran back and forth through the congressional hearing room, occasionally clambering over chairs to escape what observers described as a highly agitated man with a knife. Protecting the president is our most important duty, and you have my promise that from this moment forward, we will do it as we should. At press time, Obama was seen blocking knife blows with a legal pad as Pierson declared her intention to conduct a thorough internal review. 
3	UK Home Garden Diversity Aids Suffering Bee PopulationHeather Callaghan Europe has fiercely felt the bee decline, prompting a pesticide moratorium after initially crumbling to corporate interests. Dr Mick Hanley, Lecturer in Ecology at Plymouth University, said the study showed the continued importance of promoting diversity and encouraging gardeners to cast their net wide when choosing what to cultivate. The study showed that bees simply visited plants in proportion to flower availability. Indeed, of the six most commonly visited garden plants, only one Foxglove was a British native. Dr Hanley added: This is all the more reason to support biodiversity in growing, and support the right to have yard gardens. Let this be a signal to bureaucrats who keep ramming through sustainable development, i.e. Agenda 21 initiatives that have nothing to do with sustainability or development unless youre talking about smart grid urban sprawls. That is, the nonsensical banning of lawn gardens in the name of aesthetics which could further diminish bee populations. Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

1	WASHINGTON, DC (May 4)According to Beltway insiders, the new adult clone of Dick Cheney, recently created and accelerated to replace the ailing vice president, lacks the unique style and gruff charm of the original. 'The voice is the same, the look and attitude is the same, but when the original Cheney stabbed your hand to the table with a ballpoint pen during a Cabinet meeting, it was because he meant it,' said White House intern Chester Clem. 'With Cheney1, there's no soul in it.' Cheney himself, though on life-support at Walter Reed Army Hospital, is reportedly dissatisfied with the clone, and has demanded that his brain be immediately transplanted into the body of 25-year-old German Olympic swimmer Chris Hauth. 
1	U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has opened his fortified island headquarters to participants in his second no-holds-barred martial arts tournament, the enigmatic mastermind announced Monday. Donald Rumsfeld 'Warriors of the world, hear me,' said Rumsfeld, seated on the onyx throne overlooking the fighting arena at the island's central volcano, surrounded by a phalanx of exotic but murderous beauties and his seven-foot-tall guard Omarra. 'I declare the Eagle Fist all-styles, hand-to-hand combat world championship open once more. For the next 10 days, the world's mightiest fighters will come together here at Fang Island to compete for a prize of $1 million and the post of Associate Secretary Of Full-Contact Defense!' Rumsfeld then declared the tournament open by symbolically shattering a block of obsidian with his prosthetic dragon's clawthe powerful weapon grafted onto his right wrist after 2003 champion Li severed his hand with manji butterfly swords. 'Who can deny that conflict is a purifying flame which sears away cowardice, hesitation, sentimentall that which is unworthy in Man?' Rumsfeld said, stroking his albino cheetah. 'And my fighting arena is the crucible which concentrates that fire into the refined white heat of invincibility. The victor of my Eagle Fist Tournament shall be, by nature and definition, unsurpassed in the ways of the warrior. Such a fighter is fit to be the instrument of Rumsfeld.' The defense secretary then described the plan for the tournamenta single-elimination series of bouts in which two fighters, matched by drawn lots, will remain locked in combat until one is physically unable to continue. Once the round concludes, the victor will be given a night and day to rest before the next match. At no time will a fighter be free to roam Fang Island's sealed areas. Rumsfeld's Fang Island headquarters. 'I do not forget last year's incident with Li,' Rumsfeld said, fingering the jagged scar on his neck that he received in an ambush last year. 'He was an enemy of freedom, and he dishonored us with his treachery. I regret that I was only able to give him a scar to match mine, and not the death he so richly deserved. Though he escaped in cowardice, he cannot hide forever.' According to Rumsfeld, the finest students of every martial philosophy traveled from around the globe to take part in the tournament. While some come only to pursue the honor of the title of King Of Eagle Fist, others see the event as a chance to pursue shadowy motives of personal gain, ambition, and revenge. 'I'm six months worth of gambling debt in the hole with the L.A. Syndicate,'' said Steele Saxon, 33, a blond, powerfully built seventh-degree black belt from Los Angeles. 'Guy says to me, 'Hey, pal, it's the dough or we break something. Rumsfeld's got the dough if I've got the muscle. You just watch. Together, we've got the juice to put those Syndicate types in the rear-view mirror of history.' 'Man, they ain't seen unorthodox-but-effective until they seen me,' said the languid Jack 'Chocolate Lightning' Garrison, the two-time East Coast Freestyle Kung-Fu champion once described by SuckaPunch magazine as 'six feet of stone-cold brotha and 10 inches of afro barely contained in a fly lemon-yellow jumpsuit.' 'I won't waste my time with defeat,' Garrison added. 'I'll be too busy looking good.' The biggest X-factor in this year's Eagle Fist may be the mysterious masked and hooded Nameless One, a fighter of feline grace who practices 'the technique of no-technique.' Sun Chang (right) fights Ebony Avalanche for Rumsfeld's amusement. 'I do not thinkI feel,' the Nameless One said, a sliver of light illuminating only his smoldering eyes. 'The technique of your opponent is like a finger pointing at the moon. Concentrate on the finger, and you will miss all that heavenly glory. That is the secret, to fight without fighting. At the last, Rumsfeld shall know what I know. I will share my victory with this... Don.' The Eagle Fist Tournament has come under fire from critics in America who characterize the fortress, purchased at taxpayers' expense, as a grandstanding ploy to divert attention from Iraq and the stalled war on terrorism. 'What exactly is this meant to achieve?' reporter James Snyder asked, hours before he disappeared from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram building. 'Why does the Department of Defense need to determine who the world's premier open-hand fighter is and then retain his or her services for the next year? And why did Rumsfeld have the Guantnamo Bay prisoners chained and placed in the labyrinthine caverns below Fang Island? And how on earth does 'conflict sear away cowardice'? Patriot Act or no, we have a right to some answers.' Rumsfeld, wandering among his collection of antique torture implements and feeding candied figs to his golden langur, said he remains unmoved. 'See here,' Rumsfeld said, indicating a gold-encrusted Minoan iron maiden. 'It is difficult to associate horrors with the proud civilizations that created them: Sparta, Rome, the knights of Europe, the Samurai. They worshipped strength, because strength is the fundament for all other values. I shall find the strongest of all, and together, we shall shake the world to its very foundations.'

3	Global Weather Modification Assault Causing Climate Chaos And Environmental CatastropheDane Wigington, Contributor More alarming articles and studies are surfacing each day which confirm the rapidly changing state of Earths life support systems and climate. Humanity has decimated the planet and the chickens are coming home to roost. Though there are certainly many parts to this unfolding story, the largest piece of the puzzle by far still goes completely unacknowledged by most of the scientific community and all of the mainstream media/corporate/military/industrial complex. The massive elephant in the room has been, and still is, stratospheric aerosol geoengineering or SAG, AKA chemtrails. What Is Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering And Why Is It So Dangerous? Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering is a primary term for the ongoing global climate modification programs being conducted by major powers around the world. Aerosols is simply a term for microscopic particles suspended in the air. The major component of the geoengineering programs is to saturate the atmosphere by spraying millions of tons of 10 nanometer (a nanometer is 1/1,000,000,000 of a meter) toxic metal particles (aerosols) from jet aircraft. Why? Based on available data, there are a number of known objectives, though it is very likely much of the agenda associated with these programs can only be speculated on. Many geoengineering patents have a stated goal of slowing global warming. Aluminum/alumina, among other toxic metals, is showing up in countless rain tests around the world. The amount of aluminum, barium, and other metals in these rain/snow tests is always high and often completely off the charts. Snow tests from Mt. Shasta in Northern California were toxic beyond belief. This area of the Pacific Northwest was thought to be a pristine water source. Dozens of rain samples taken in this region from numerous individuals were tested at the State certified lab in Northern California and showed shocking results without exception. Former US Forest Service Biologist Francis Mangles has confirmed the alarming heavy metal contamination with his own testing. Snow tests taken from the side of Mt. Shasta showed aluminum content as high as 61,000 PPB. (parts per billion). This level of aluminum in the snow is tens of thousands of times anything that might be considered normal background contamination. It is important to remember this contamination is not local, but global in scope. Movements have formed in countries all over the world which are desperately trying to address this dire issue. Shrinking Atmosphere, Disturbed Hydrological Cycle, Fungal Proliferation and Species Extinction Ozone layer damage is yet another known consequence of geoengineering the atmosphere. Other recent studies now note a shrinking atmosphere which is very possibly also linked to the ongoing geoengineering programs. The hydrological cycle of the planet is being completely disrupted by the geoengineering aerosol saturation of the atmosphere. Fungal proliferation is yet another inevitable crisis when the atmosphere is filled with particulates, soils are contaminated with the geoengineering fallout, and waters are polluted with the same. Already, countless species are feeling the effects. The current species extinction rate should be absolutely shocking to all. At the present time the extinction rate is from 1000 to 10,000 times natural variability. This is from 100,000% to 1,000,000% of normal background rates. Though mainstream media would never discuss this, we are currently in the sixth mass extinction on planet Earth. Is geoengineering responsible for all of this? Of course not all, but if the available science and data is considered, geoengineering is likely by far the single most significant cause of environmental and climate devastation. If all available information is considered, geoengineering appears to be the greatest and most immediate threat to all life on Earth short of nuclear catastrophe. Less Rain, Less Wind, Less Sun, Welcome To Geoengineering Aerosol Saturated Skies The New Norm Though rain and snow is falling in areas of North America, at times in a deluge or blizzard, the droughts in the continental US ( and many other regions around the globe), are getting worse. There are now often massive areas of drifting cloud cover spanning thousands of miles over land masses and oceans with very little precipitation. Why is this? Why are the skies so often completely featureless as these expansive cloud banks and upper level haze drift across the globe? If individual clouds can be recognized in these drifting masses, they often appear melted into the upper story of geoengineering haze. Why is the wind often diminished under these featureless canopies? Horizon-to-horizon geoengineering trails are not the only sign of spraying. Clouds should be white and the sky blue. Wispy, dingy, cobweb like upper level clouds are are not natural and another hallmark of spraying, as are silvery white skies. The Geoengineering Connection Atmospheric aerosol saturation diminishes wind and precipitation. The conditions described above are known consequences of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering (SAG) and solar radiation management (SRM) . All available scientific data confirms the effect of geoengineering particulates on rainfall. Though mainstream science sources are still not willing to openly admit to the fact that geoengineering programs have been fully deployed for decades, a growing mountain of evidence makes this fact all too clear. The ongoing stratospheric geoengineering programs are greatly reducing overall rainfall and all but eliminating deep blue skies. Blocking the sun with reflective geoengineering aerosols reduces evaporation. Wind is reduced significantly from atmospheric aerosol saturation as the particles scatter solar energy and thus reduce convection from the ground that would otherwise occur from daytime heating. The slowing of the wind reduces evaporation even more. Further, precipitation cells that do form are often dispersed and diminished from the excessive amount of geoengineering particulates. This causes to many condensation nuclei and the droplets do not combine and fall as rain but migrate on. It is important to remember that there are ALWAYS exceptions to the geoengineering consequences outlined in scientific study. There are simply far too many variables in the extremely complex climate system. Colliding air masses, strong weather fronts, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc., are all among such variables that can still produce devastating and destructive winds and rains even with extensive geoengineering. Global Dimming, The Loss Of Blue Skies There is a mountain of scientific data to confirm the reality of global dimming. Most have never even heard the term much less noticed the effect over recent decades. Though articles from mainstream publications admit to the global dimming issue, most understate the percentage of dimming, and all point the finger at pollution particulates as the sole cause. Countless jet aircraft which criss-cross our skies daily, dispersing millions of tons of toxic metal and chemical particulates, are completely ignored by all mainstream media journalists and sources. To date, mainstream media has done its best to avoid even mentioning the subject of geoengineering much less admitting to these ongoing programs of total planetary devastation. The overall ramifications from global dimming and geoengineering cannot be accurately quantified. Loss of photosynthesis, destruction of the ozone layer, reduction in global rainfall, loss of blue sky, toxification of soils and waters, these are only a few of the known consequences of the global atmospheric spraying Greatly Diminished Atmospheric Protection From The Sun What does this imply? As already documented above, saturating the atmosphere with particulates shreds the protective layers of the atmosphere, namely the ozone layer. Particulate saturation in the upper atmosphere causes a chemical reaction which does the damage. There is now a massive Northern hemisphere ozone hole in addition to the Southern Hemisphere hole we have all heard about for decades. Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering is in all likelihood the primary cause of the global ozone depletion, not just CFCs as we have been told. Again, this has already been cited above and can be easily researched. Search geoengineering damages ozone layer. All available science makes this point clear. Without the ozone layer, life in any form would likely not exist on our planet. There is yet one more issue related to the destruction of our natural protection from the suns usual radiation output: protection from solar flares. Coronal mass ejections or CMEs can and will do horrific damage to our planet and most especially human infrastructure. If electricity grids are shut down due to a strong CME, the potential dangers are sobering indeed. With no grid power to cool nuclear power facilities for an extended time, we could face Fukushima x 100, or 200, or more. Without cooling, meltdowns would eventually occur. Just one major nuclear catastrophe could exterminate life on the planet, let alone dozens or hundreds of them. Geoengineering is destroying our natural protection from such an event caused by a strong coronal mass ejection. Wind Pattern Changes And Catastrophic Methane Release Wind current pattern changes in turn trigger ocean current changes. Most are completely unaware of the wind and ocean current changes occurring around the globe. Even fewer are aware of the ramifications which are already unfolding from these changes. Saturation of the atmosphere with methane is equivalent to covering the planet with a sheet of glass. The suns thermal energy gets in, but does not get out. Though most articles on methane release state methane to be 20 times more potent a greenhouse gas than Co2, this is over a 100-year time horizon. Over a ten-year time horizon, methane is at least 100 times more potent. Again, the implications from this event alone threaten all life on Earth. No Natural Weather The global geoengineering/weather modification/chemtrail programs have likely been going on for over six decades. Recently found documents from the NASA archives indicate the these programs already had budgets into the hundreds of millions of dollars even by the mid 1960s. These already massive climate altering programs were radically ramped up in the last 15 years. Though most of us alive today have perhaps known little truly natural weather, what we are experiencing today is anything but natural. The climate now swings radically from one extreme to another. It is now common to have spring-like temperatures one day and snow (likely artificially nucleated) the next. These swingsor fluctuations are getting ever more severe. Manipulation Of The Jet Stream And The Shredding Of The Atmosphere Is this really possible? Available science as well as observed weather events and jet stream anomalies say absolutely yes. HAARP is the acronym for a massively powerful ionosphere heater facility located in Alaska. This is a huge and extremely powerful antenna array which is capable of transmitting as much as a billion watts of power into the ionosphere. The effect of this is to create a bulge in the atmosphere which in turn can alter the course of the jet stream. Such alterations can in turn steer weather systems. By such manipulation, storm fronts can be combined and worsened into frankenstorms, or broken apart and dispersed. There are thought to be at least 18 of these ionosphere heaters around the globe, some held by China and Russia. It has also become evident in recent years that weather warfare is already a lethal global reality. The potential of these frequency transmitter facilities is enhanced by the spraying of our skies. The saturation of the atmosphere with metal particulates makes the atmosphere more conductive. This in turn increases the capabilities of the ionosphere heaters. An atmosphere that is more conductive from metal particulate saturation can produce more frequent lightning. These same particulates also have the net effect of diminishing and dispersing rain. Forests around the globe are now filled with dead and dying trees. (referenced later in this article). In addition, the foliage of trees are now covered with what amounts to an incendiary dust from the geoengineering particulates. Add the shredded ozone layer which creates more heat, and the weather modified conditions are even worse. The obvious result is more frequent and catastrophic forest fires. This phenomenon is being played out around the globe. Summer of 2012 saw the Northern Hemisphere burning down and now it is Australia and Tasmania in meltdown. Artificially Nucleated Snow Storms Yet another seemingly impossible aspect of global weather modification is geoengineered snow storms. Many will write this one off as impossible without any investigation. That is a mistake as the science of chemical ice nucleation is very established and commonly practiced in many arenas though it is hard to comprehend this process being done on such a massive scale. There are several patents on artificial ice nucleation for weather modification, including one from NASA. Artificially nucleated storms appear to be carried out under a myriad of conditions. In many cases, storms that should have yielded only rain, can be artificially nucleated to change over to snow. The term change over has recently been coined by The Weather Channel and other corporate/military/industrial complex weather agencies. A geoengineered snow event is generally called heavy wet snow (another recent term). This snow can begin to fall at temperatures far above freezing, though the ongoing chemical process eventually cools the surrounding air mass. The resulting snow and ice can sometimes remain a surprisingly long time in spite of warmer temperatures, a result of artificial chemical nucleation. This aspect of weather modification is covered in the following article, Geoengineered Snow Storms Wreaking Havoc Around the Globe Temporary Cooling At The Cost Of A Worsened Overall Warming This is the net result of geoengineering. Nature does not give something for nothing. This should seem all too obvious, but unfortunately the scientists in so many cases seem to be completely blind to the facts. In the case of cloud seeding to produce rain, if they succeed, then that moisture will not end up where it would have otherwise gone. In the case of saturation spraying that is known to diminish rain by scattering it into massive artificial cloud cover, where will all that moisture end up? Coming down somewhere else in a deluge? Is this perhaps why the US is locked in record drought and England is having record rains? The cooling effects of geoenigneering come at the cost of a much worsened overall warming of the planet. Even NASA admits the condensation trails (geoengineering particulate trails) are warming the planet. Sound like an alarmist statement or conspiracy theory? All available data points to this conclusion as a hard and undeniable fact for any that do objective research. Countless lab tests of precipitation from around the globe (cited above) have been done by concerned individuals and groups in recent years, and the results are shocking to say the least. Our rain and snow is quite literally packed with the very same highly toxic heavy metals named in numerous geoengineering patents as primary elements. The air we breathe is also laden with the same toxins aluminum/alumina, barium, strontium, manganese, thorium, and now even fluoride is being reported in recent tests from Norway. So much metal has fallen on the boreal forests of the Pacific Northwest that soil PH changes of up to 15 times more alkaline have been noted. A recent documentary film by filmmaker Michael Murphy, Why In The World Are They Spraying covers some of these changes and the forest die off that is occurring in boreal forests. Though there are countless articles documenting the die-off of forests around the globe, putting the blame only on increasing temperatures, drought, and beetles, none mention geoengineering. To omit geoengineering in this equation is to omit what appears to be the greatest factor of all. The lethal effects of bioavailable aluminum/alumina in rainwater and thus in the soils is well documented. Its effect on trees is also noted in science studies. Off course there are corporations who exist to profit from calamity. Monsanto always seems to be at the top of this list. As geoengineered drought and aluminum sterilized soils force independent farmers to sell, international ag corporations are there to buy up the land and put to use there aluminum resistant seeds. What Is Geoengineering Doing To Us? Inhalation of microscopic particulates is highly damaging no matter what the particulate material. Respiratory ailments and mortalities are now literally epidemic. Degenerative human diseases that are linked to heavy metal exposure are even more lethal and are now going virtually off the charts. ADD, Alzheimers, Autism, immune dysfunction, and many other diseases associated with heavy metals, have all skyrocketed in recent years. According to scientists like internationally know neuroscientist Russell Blalock, the heavy metal nano particles are so small that they pass right through the lung lining into the bloodstream. There they can adhere to cell receptors like a plaque, slowly but surely shutting down bodily functions and the immune system. These metals are all but impossible to remove once they have become lodged in the body. In addition, virtually every bite we eat is now contaminated with these toxic nano particles as they are absorbed by plant life, which is highly damaging to crops. Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering (AKA chemtrails) has now tainted all. Every breath we take, every bite we eat, all is contaminated. A mountain of data, studies, and testing confirms this conclusion beyond reasonable doubt. We are all quite literally under assault. The threat to all life on earth from the global weather modification programs cannot be overstated. It is up to all of us to help in the task of bringing these programs to light, and to a halt so the planet can begin to recover. Arm yourself with copies or credible articles, data, and DVD copies. Why In The World Are They Spraying? by Michael Murphy is an excellent tool for spreading the word on this most dire issue. It is likely the vast majority of military and private sector people involved with geoengineering do not understand the consequences. Time is not on our side. Every day global geoengineering continues, our odds are diminished. We must all pull together in the effort to shine the light on this greatest of all human crimes. Once the geoengineering issue is truly out in the open, and those who physically carry out the spraying realize what they are a part of, we have a chance to stop these lethal programs.

3	How To Win The War For Your MindBrandon Smith, Contributor This fact is, of course, counterintuitive to our Western manner of thinking, which teaches us to believe that the man with the bigger gun (or the bigger predator drone) always wins. Sadly, we have had to suffer through multiple defeats and overdrawn occupations in Asia to learn otherwise. One of the great unspoken truths of our era is the reality that the modernization of warfare has changed little the manner in which wars are won. Since the beginning of history, intelligence, force of will, and guiding principles are the dominant factors in any campaign. Therefore, it only stands to reason that the most vital battle any of us will ever face is the psychological battle, the battle within; for success in the mind will determine success in all other endeavors. Unfortunately, very few people ever consider the importance of the mind war, let alone know how to defend themselves against psychological attack. As with any method of self-defense, constant training is required. For the past century, at least in the United States, a subversive and secret cold war has been waged against the people in the form of psychological subjugation. This cold war is designed to weaken our resolve, our heritage, our self-belief, our confidence and our integrity in preparation for a hot war against our time-honored Constitutional rights. The power elite know well that the most effective strategy for victory in any battle is to convince your enemy to surrender before the fight even begins. Today, the American populace is being conditioned to lie down and die a mental death, to give up the inner war, so that when the outer war comes, they will already be defeated. Do Not Fear Hypothetical Dangers Fear is the weapon of choice when it comes to totalitarian proponents. Conquering armies and bureaucracies are notorious for exaggerating their strength and numbers in order to squelch the fighting spirit of those they intend to rule. Genghis Kahn, for instance, used the tactic of exaggerated numbers, along with vicious genocide, to strike terror in regions he had not yet attempted to overtake. Upon his arrival, the Mongol hordes had received such a reputation (some of it fabricated) that many regions surrendered immediately without question. When becoming an activist against a criminal establishment, it is very common to be the target of fear campaigns. Today, those of us in the liberty movement hear warnings from random concerned parties constantly telling us that our efforts are all for nothing, that we are making ourselves targets. That the globalist system is far too strong and far too advanced to be defeated. That they have predator drones and NSA databases and soldiers without empathy etc, etc. Their hope is to make us afraid of hypothetical situations which can neither be confirmed nor denied. To make us obsess over the odds rather than the objective. In other words, they hope to encourage a state of mass cowardice. To undo this tactic, you must remain focused on your goal regardless of the possible danger. That is to say, the strength of the enemy, whether real or fantasy, is irrelevant. It is meaningless. Goliath is nothing but an obstacle, and all obstacles can be dealt with. Move forward toward the objective and never stop. Do Not Be Distracted By Minor Inconveniences And Personal Problems At the height of communist power in East Germany, the Stasi secret police deployed a tactic which they called Zersetzung, which means to corrode or undermine. The Zersetzung policy involved the use of subtle manipulations of a particular persons life in order to interfere with his ability to function normally and participate fully in dissenting activities. The Stasi would send agents to a persons home to rearrange items or fake a break-in. Often, they would attempt to create emotional conflicts between the dissident and his wife, family and friends and to damage business relationships. The purpose was to force the target to divert his attention from his political and social work over to more minor inconveniences. Personal firestorms, whether engineered by Stasi or by natural conflict, are destructive only when you give them too much credence and attention. Some people become utterly fixated with their own private soap operas, and this weakness is often exploited by government elements. The truth is, our home lives and the tensions in them are secondary when it comes to defending our principles and our culture against enslavement and oblivion. Woman troubles, family arguments and invasions into our private lives are not important. Only the mission is important; and in the Liberty Movement, our mission is to awaken the public, disrupt the indoctrination of the masses and, if necessary, physically remove the elites from power. Family and friends who get in the way or are manipulated into getting in the way should be ignored. Do Not Be Seduced By Gifts Tyrants love to offer gifts to the populace, especially at the onset of their rise to dominance. It may be the promise of new jobs, better infrastructure, free healthcare, more food, more safety or even free cellphones. They may offer payment for provocateuring or snitching. The point is to entice citizens with something for nothing, or at least the lie of something for nothing. If a government official (or anyone else for that matter) is pouring gifts into your lap, it is time to become suspicious. Governments do not pay for the gifts you receive. You pay for the gifts you receive either through taxation or inflation. Free goodies should never influence the mind warrior to endear himself to any bureaucratic or corporate entity. Never allow yourself to be bought. The only treasures worth anything are our individualism and self respect. Never Trust The Media Machine Always Verify Information There is no such thing as objective journalism in the mainstream media anymore. What you see and hear is not the truth but a facsimile of the truth, twisted to benefit the establishment alone. Media outlets today do not investigate events. Instead, they obstruct investigation by promoting only one side of every story and attacking anyone who questions their asserted narrative. The official version of any news story is almost always a convoluted fabrication that protects the oligarchy from harm. No one who considers himself an intelligent human being should accept the official narrative at face value. It is important to question always that which we are told and to investigate using independent or original sources. Never allow yourself to be taught. Always examine the facts on your own. Demand that the establishment mouthpieces provide source information, instead of acting as if we should accept everything they say on blind faith. Do Not Concern Yourself With Ridicule Fighting disinformation is vital, but our personal pride is not important. Safeguarding our egos is not important. Trying to please everyone all the time is impossible and also not important. Ridicule is used not only to discredit activists; it is also used to make them question their own resolve. If you cannot be embarrassed or browbeaten, then you cannot be made afraid and you cannot be defeated by mere words. Require your opponents to answer your legitimate questions. Move past their distractions and push the issue of tangibility. Make them produce a legitimate argument. When they cannot, and continue to revert to Ad Hominem attacks, they expose the frailty of their position, and you have won. Accept The Risk Before Confronting The Enemy I am still amazed by those dissenters and freedom fighters who act as though they are surprised when the potential wrath of the system is directed at them. Did they not understand the risk when entering into the battle? Did they really believe it wouldnt be all that bad? In any conflict against a larger, ruthless, and immoral opponent, always assume that you will have to go through hell to accomplish anything. Accept that your life will no longer be peaceful or comfortable. Know that you may not survive to see the fruits of your efforts. Realize that you may have to walk through fire and embrace pain. Otherwise, you will remain a pathetic and laughably inadequate soldier in the mind war. Personal risk is not important. Only the truth and the future are important. Being effective means being on the radar. If you are making a difference, and you are a concrete threat, then you should expect to have a target painted on your chest. Understand Your Own Weaknesses Pretending as if you have no weaknesses is the best way to help your enemy. If you are prideful, your overconfidence will be used against you. If you are spiteful, your jealousy will be exploited to distract you. If you are easily angered, your rage will be used to lure you into destroying yourself. Examine yourself as deeply and as thoroughly as you would the enemy. Though it might sound like a clich, you actually can become far worse an enemy to your own cause than any army your opponent can muster. Ironically, by identifying our own limitations, we also can become adept at seeing the weaknesses in others. Unblinded by our own biases, the biases of the opponent become starkly visible. Do Not Buy Into Petty Authority Perhaps it is in our tribal nature, but many people seem to suffer from an insatiable desire for hierarchy and leadership even if that leadership is based on falsehoods. The ultimate protection against corruption is to become ones own leader, rather than waiting around for a miraculously infallible overseer (or a talented conman) to guide the way for you. Relying on others to choose your path for you opens the door to having your right to choose removed from the picture completely. Petty authority is authority derived from false pretenses, rather than earned respect and recognition. No man, regardless of title, is above the truth; and he is certainly not more worthwhile than you. Like a title, a uniform is a symbol of an ideal, but the man inside the uniform may not embrace that ideal. Do not focus on the uniform. Focus on the man, and question whether or not he lives up to the uniform. If anyone wants to determine whether you go left or right, he should be put to the most stringent tests imaginable. He should have to prove that he has your best interests at heart, and that he has the wisdom to handle your future with care. Acknowledge The Power Of Symbolism And Myth Oligarchs use theater and pageantry to influence the collective unconscious because the human mind gravitates toward rituals that feed our inherent need for myth and symbol. Psychologist Carl Jung often referred to the inborn symbolic processes of the psyche as archetypes, which exist in the art, dreams and spiritualism of every society regardless of time, place, religion or culture. Knowing these universal symbols and how we react to them emotionally allows a person to prevent himself from being conditioned or influenced by them. Not all fantastic events in history are spontaneous. Some are staged as a means to appeal to a particular side of a nations collective psyche. These false flag actions very often revolve around a symbol that is culturally valued. The construction or destruction of this symbolic edifice, famous person, social mechanism or loved representation of the future leaves a lasting and deep-rooted impression on thousands, if not millions, of people. They become emotionally invested in the event frantic, fearful or furious without having the slightest inkling why. In the end, they can be conned into acting in disastrous ways just to appease the inner imbalance. They can be led to war, to enslavement and to death all on the promise of preventing a myth from appearing or disappearing. The secret is to explore our inner life with more vigor than we waste on outer fantasy. By discovering our own internal myth and, thus, our own individuality, we make ourselves impervious to false-flag conditioning. Our emotions remain within our control, our biases become non-existent and our fears become irrelevant. We do not become overly attached to images, to superficial expectations, or to the collective. The theater of the mind loses its power; and from that point on, we choose our own destinies. Never Forget Your Individualism Collectivists consistently promote the idea that human beings are empty vessels; blank slates to be molded by the environment, or mere biological machines with rudimentary animal instincts that we mistake for a soul. As I pointed out above, Carl Jungs work on inborn psychological archetypes proves that we are in fact NOT empty vessels. Each of us is born with common qualities, like conscience and insight, as well as distinctive qualities that make us unique. We are born with dual concepts of good and evil. Right and wrong. Because of this duality, we are given the power to choose. To ignore conscience, or embrace it. Collectivists pander their blank slate propaganda because they want us to believe that we have no inherent qualities, and therefore, no conscience. They want us to ignore our intuition and adopt moral relativism. For if every man is empty, then there is no right or wrong, and nothing the elites do can be qualified as criminal. If every man is convinced that he is purely a product of his environment, then he can also be convinced to turn over his free will to those who appear to have the most control over the environment. If he believes he is not in possession of individual determination, then he may assume the role of a robot, waiting to be programmed by the outside world. This is the ultimate collectivist dream: to become the great providers and makers of the masses. To feed us what they like, clothe us in what they like, teach us what they like, and to tell us what we are to think and when we are to think it. They wish to see themselves as the painters, and us as the canvas. Only then, in their minds, will our society reach perfection. Mind Over Matter Facing down an adversary with firearms or with fists is an easy thing to grasp. Facing down a lie, or an idea meant to destroy ones mental capacity for resistance, is incredibly complex. When an opponent attempts to play mind games, though, it is a sure sign that he does not have the capacity to thwart you with physical strength alone. The fact that our government and the power structure behind it has so desperately relied on such strategies for so many years shows that they believe they cannot enact centralized authority over our nation and undo our free imperative simply by the momentum of military might. No gun, no matter how big, will get them what they want. So they continue to play the game until our resolve is broken and our ability to fight diminished. In order to prevail, we must make ourselves immune to the game. We must walk away, separating ourselves from it completely. We must relinquish all unnecessary fear, doubt, and hatred, and do what we know needs to be done. We must ignore the rhetoric of defeat and nihilism. We must take that long solemn step beyond the veil of doubt, knowing that all great men before us fought their own battles despite the so called certainty of death. If we cannot take lordship of our own psychological world, we are doomed to failure in every other fight that envelops us. Without impervious will, we cannot overcome, and we cannot find peace.

1	Capping off five seasons of critically acclaimed television, the AMC series Breaking Bad concluded its run Sunday night with the shocking revelation that the entirety of the shows storyfrom Walter Whites diagnosis with cancer to his transformation into a ruthless methamphetamine kingpinwas in fact merely the plotline of a crime novel that character Marie Schrader had shoplifted from a local bookstore. What I wanted to create for the finale was an uncompromising conclusion focused on the shows true emotional core: Maries kleptomania, show creator Vince Gilligan said of the episodes revelatory last scene, in which flashbacks to beloved moments from the show are intercut with shots of Marie flipping to chapters in the novel such as Heisenbergs New Hat, Trouble With Gus, and The Train Robbery. From day one of writing the show, I knew exactly how the story would play out: with virtually all of its central characters other than Marieincluding Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, Saul Goodman, everyonerevealed to be fictitious figures in a paperback thriller Marie felt compelled to slip into her jacket in an Albuquerque-area Barnes & Noble. Marie uses this pulp crime novel to help herself deal with the guilt she has stemming from her own very real criminal behavior, which she tries desperately to hide from her husband, local mineralogist Hank Schrader. Gilligan told reporters he is especially pleased with the final shot of the series, in which Marie closes the stolen book, revealing it had been titled Breaking Bad all along. 
1	Famed inventor Thomas Edison changed the face of modern life in 1879 when he devised the groundbreaking new process of taking ideas pioneered by other scientists and marketing them as his own. 'Where would we all be today had the 'Wizard of Menlo Park' not discovered the basic formula for copying and repackaging the breakthroughs of others?' biographer Paul Israel said of the man who created the first marketable light bulb by borrowing freely from the patented work of inventors such as Joseph Wilson Swan and Henry Woodward. 'Many tried before him, but only Edison had the vision, cunning, and sheer audacity to pull it off. Whenever anyone today piggybacks on the tireless ingenuity of another in a wanton act of self-promotion, they have Edison to thank.' 
3	New SWAT Documents Detail the Brutal Reality of U.S. Police MilitarizationMassachusetts SWAT teams made headlines last year when they refused to grant a public information request to the ACLU, claiming they were private companies and, therefore, exempt from such inquiry. The ACLU subsequently sued, and last month, it received access to the documents it requested. The documents confirm that broad overreach, unnecessary and overblown tactics, and an eagerness to attack are increasingly present in law enforcement establishments around the country. Though the NEMLEC touts its operations as reserved for critical situations, only one of the 79 incidents actually involved a terrorist attack: SWAT teams were deployed to assist in the aftermath of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. In that same 2012 to 2014 time period, there were no active shooter situations, no hostage situations, and only 10 cases of barricaded subjects. According to The Intercept, half of the remaining cases were for everyday policing activities, including executing warrants, dealing with expected rioting after a 2013 Red Sox World Series game, and providing security for a Dalai Lama lecture. That leaves 37 of 79 raids that were either drug-related, initiated by local police, or responses to suicidal individuals. The use of SWAT teams for drug raids has been widely criticized as superfluous and outside the duties of SWAT. Professor Pete Kraska of Eastern Kentucky University, who specializes in police militarization, told The Intercept that Of the 21 drug raids conducted, only 5 yielded actual contraband, according to the NEMLEC reports. They averaged 36 officers and more than half were conducted in the middle of the night, while 14 were granted judicial authorization for no knock entrymeaning SWAT agents were allowed to break the door open to enter. These methods are exceptionally controversial and have resulted in countless cases of needless violence, injury, and deathfor both subjects of raids and the officers themselves. Further, other uses of SWAT teams are unwise at best and dangerous at worst. Associate Professor of Criminology at Merrimack College, Tom Nolan, said, Its certainly counter-productive to have a fully-armed militarized SWAT team respond to potentially suicidal suspects who are looking for ways out like suicide-by-cop situationsI dont know why you couldnt just have someone respond who knows negotiation strategy techniques, without the tanks and the body armor. Nolan is also a former lieutenant with the Boston Police Department. Additionally, while SWAT teams often stress the extreme dangers of their jobs, of the 33 search or arrest warrant raids conducted from 2012-2014, only four encountered firearmscalling into question the justification for such massive police operations. In one case, a disabled man in a wheelchair was accused of shooting at a womans car over a parking space dispute. A 28-person SWAT team was called to his home, bringing along with it a Bearcat (armored vehicle) as well as tasers, long arms, a shotgun,40mm less-lethal rounds, shields and battering rams. When they were let into the mans home by someone he knew, they found him struggling to get out of bed and gave him the opportunity to get dressed and remove his catheter. The ACLU report confirms past analyses that indicate police militarization and SWAT teams are too heavily armed, too easily enabled, and all but exempt from accountability.

3	Ukraine Revolution Places Elites Back In PowerBrandon Turbeville In addition to the appointment of national positions to individuals belonging to the neo-Nazi Fascist Svoboda party, RT reports the installment of even more questionable characters, party affiliations aside. These separate appointments do nothing but solidify any doubt regarding the nature of the revolution in Ukraine as the individuals being placed into public office are clearly of the Ukrainian national Oligarchical class. For instance, the newly appointed Governor of Dnepropetrovsk, Igor Kolomoysky, is widely recognized as Ukraines third-wealthiest man, with an official fortune totaling over $2.4 billion. RT reports that Kolymoysky co-owns the informal commercial group Privat, which includes Ukraines largest bank Privatbank, which Kolomoysky heads, as well as assets in the oil, ferroalloys and food industries, agriculture and transport. Kolomosky was accused of taking a hit out on a Ukrainian lawyer in the past, although those charges were dropped. However, after the dismissal of the charges, the lawyer was eventually found shot dead. Sergey Taruta, the new Governor of the Donetsk region, is likewise a wealthy aristrocrat. Taruta himself is listed as one of the top ten wealthiest Ukrainians. His personal fortune is estimated to be around $2 billion. Taruta is the head of ISD, one of the largest mining and smelting companies on the planet, as well as the owner of the Metallurg Football Club. Taruta was a backer of Vicktor Yuschenko after the latter was installed by the United States and related networks in the Orange Revolution of 2004. The new Interior Minister, Arsen Avarkov, is listed as one of the 67th richest men in Ukraine. But what Avarkov lacks in wealth, he makes up for in criminal behavior. Avarkov was formerly wanted by Interpol for the theft of 55 hectares of state land. Clearly, those Ukrainian people who joined the Euromaidan protests out of ignorance are clearly now feeling a very real sense of disappointment. Unfortunately, while most of the protests were simply engineered and funded by the West from the word go, those who took part hoping for real change have now found themselves in a much worse situation than they were in before.

1	The tension at a party hosted by area man Chad Kopp was reportedly increasing by the minute Friday as attendees continued to glance uneasily at an acoustic guitar leaning against the living room wall for the third straight hour. Yeah, Chads got a really cool place, Kopps friend Eric Morehouse said to a small cluster of fellow guests, all of whom furtively eyed the guitar for any indication whatsoever that someone might pick it up and launch into a popular song, or an unknown riff they might later reveal as just something [theyd] been working on. Its much bigger than his old apartment, thats for sure. At press time, a full-blown panic was narrowly avoided when a party guest walking toward the guitar continued on to the bedroom to retrieve his jacket. 
2	Hillary Gets A $600 Haircut While The Average American Struggles To Pay For Their Basics Hillary Clinton has launched her campaign on the foundation that she is just like the rest of us. And that may be truefor the handful of Americans who can afford to go to Bergdorf Goodman and spend $600 on a haircut. I dont know about you, but we dont fit that bill. According to reports, Clinton was seen being ushered through a side entrance on Fifth Avenue, ultimately landing herself at the John Barrett Salon. Staff closed off one side of Bergdorfs so Hillary could come in privately to get her hair done, one source told reporters. An elevator bank was shut down so she could ride up alone, and then she was styled in a private area of the salon. Other customers didnt get a glimpse. Hillary was later seen with a new feathered hairdo. Haircuts with salon owner John Barrett can cost w hopping $600. Add color on top of that and youre looking at a $1200 bill. If this is how she spends her own money, wed hate to see what shell do with taxpayer dollars. What do you think? 
2	Navy Seal Calls Hillary Clinton A Liar And Ignorant According to recent reports, former Navy Seal officer Dom Raso has just spoken out against Hillary Clinton, calling her out for a law she told an audience in order to make herself appear as courageous as American soldiers. During an NRA commentator video, Raso clearly exposed Clintons lies about dodging enemy fire in Bosnia. I remember landing under sniper fire, Clinton told her supporters. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicle to get to our base. It was a moment of great pride for me. Raso told audiences that video footage proved that Clinton was greeted warmly with handshakes that daya very different story than the one she is telling. Later, Clinton dismissed the story as a misstatement. In my 12-year military career, I never heard an excuse like that from my leadership, Raso told reporters. Its impossible to even imagine that happening. Only someone completely arrogant, ignorant and disrespectful of what happens in war could say something like that, he concluded. Hillary was willing to lie in order to take advantage of that feeling of gratitude and awe Americans have for those who serve. What do you think? Is this absolutely despicable? 
2	Trump Responds To Hamilton Incident... This Speaks Volumes To How Is Presidency Will Look Americans everywhere are outraged at the recent treatment of Mike Pence as he attended a Broadway show over the weekend. Now, Donald Trump is speaking up in his defense. The Vice President-elect received both cheers and boos as he entered the theatera welcome he almost certainly wasnt expected. But his troubles didnt stop there. Cast member Brandon Dixon awkwardly and unacceptably attacked Pence from the stage, claiming the country was about multiculturalism. You can watch footage of that incident below, in case you missed it: Hamilton (@HamiltonMusical) November 19, 2016 Following the incident, Trump took to Twitter to demand that his partner get an apology, calling Pence a very good man. Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 19, 2016 Of course, liberals are yet to apologize. Instead, they turned their anger toward Trump, attacking him on social media.

1	Saying the space would offer a laid-back atmosphere and a variety of fun activities for young people, 31-year-old local youth pastor Marc Kindler told reporters Thursday the new rec room at Grace United Church of Christ has everything a teenager could want. As he pointed out a collection of two dozen DVDs and Blu-rays, a board game shelf, and a kitchenette where several types of potato chips and other snacks are available, Kindler remarked that the 800-square-foot basement facility is filled with all the stuff kids love, and predicted it would be a big hit with 13- to 18-year-old members of the congregation. We pretty much have it all down here, said Kindler, gesturing around the room that was until recently the churchs primary storage space, and which he has decorated with inspirational prints and several posters of Ohio sports teams. Theres a ping-pong table, foosball, and cold sodas in the fridge. Theres a corner with a big couch and some chairs where you can hang out, talk with friends, or just relax. We wanted to make this into a cool place for teens to come after school, you know? To be honest, I dont think theres anywhere else nearby thats got so much going on, he added. Theres definitely something here for everyone. Showing reporters around the brightly lit space, the youth pastor called attention to a bookcase containing several Harry Potter novels, a few Bibles, and a stack of teen-oriented magazines, as well as a PlayStation console that features multiple controllers so you and your friends can play together. He also noted that kids who are into music can plug their iPods into the stereo and listen to whatever they want. Kindlerwho prefers to be called Pastor Marcexplained that he sees the rec room becoming a hub of social activity for local middle and high school students, regardless of their interests or background. Though most of the activities are intended to help teens unwind, Kindler noted that the room also offers free Wi-Fi and a designated study area for kids who just want to get a jump-start on their homework. The youth pastor confirmed the rec room is open from 3:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on school nights, until 9:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and for at least two hours after worship services on Sunday. This is the kind of place I wish Id had when I was their age, Kindler said. Young people are welcome to come on in whenever they like and just have a good time together, kick back, praytheyre free to do whatever here. Hey, I was a teenager once, too, so I understand that teens want a place of their own where they can get away from Mom and Dad for a while and just be with their friends. And this really is their space, he continued. Though dont be surprised if I pop out of my office from time to time and play a little Madden with the kids. Going forward, Kindler said, he hopes to provide the rec room with both a bulletin board where teens can pin up fun photo collages of their youth group activities, and a dry-erase board where they can share thoughts and ideas with the teen community, be it a cool song lyric, Bible verse they enjoy, or anything else thats on their minds. In addition, he stated that he was looking forward to adding beanbag chairs to the facility, noting that a member of the Grace United congregation had promised to donate a couple. Kindler also mentioned that he would order pizza for everyone on the third Friday of each month. You know, we just want to let the kids do their thing, said Kindler, who plans to hold a Faith and Fun Night next week to introduce church youth to the new facility. If they want to go shoot some hoops in the parking lot, they can do that. If they want to stay inside and chat with friends, thats cool too. Im not here to tell anyone what to do. Kindler added, But of course, my door is always open if kids just want to talk. 
3	Why The Privatization Of Americas Police Is Such A Dangerous TrendBy Claire Bernish But when Kinder Morgan wanted to push through construction of a controversial gas pipeline, it felt no need for such pretensesand its justification for hiring off-duty police officers highlights disturbing implications of a dubious national trend: the privatization of American police. KMI spent more than $50,000 from June to October 2013 to employ uniformed, off-duty police in marked patrol units to deter protests in order to avoid costly delays for pipeline expansion in an environmentally sensitive area in Pennsylvania. Documents obtained by Earth Island Journal show the self-proclaimed largest energy infrastructure company in North America had experienced protests from local activists over its Northeast Upgrader Project, and therefore wanted to hire police to provide a visible presence [] to create a deterrent effect. Of course, employing off-duty police for corporate security is not uncommon, but it becomes another matter when they are hired for the purpose of thwarting dissent against a private interest. David Rudovsky, a civil rights lawyer in Philadelphia and a Senior Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, explained in Earth Island Journal, It is politically and socially entirely inappropriate for a private company to be able to hire a police department and use its officers to try to intimidate protesters of one stripe or another. As Mary Catherine Roper, deputy legal director of the ACLU in Philadelphia, said, If they are actually being instructed to deter protest thats not okay. Thats just flat out unconstitutional. Therein lies the basis for a legal gray area concerning the blurring between public and monied interests, which has been quietly growing while public focus rests on the parallel issue of police brutality. When an off-duty police officer is hired by a private interest but wears the uniform and drives the vehicle indicative of public duty, whose interests are they protecting? Though municipalities differ in policy detail, police maintain their law enforcement authority, including powers of arrest, when they operate in an off-duty capacity; so when tasked with security for a corporation, they are ostensibly a privatized police force. It can be of little wonder that corporations would choose off-duty law enforcement over private security when they wish to protect controversial projects: the impartiality required while on duty is not the same when bound by terms of private employment. This phenomenal conflict of interest was aptly explicated over 25 years ago in The New York Times, which predicted a trend toward the privatizing of security in American society with the development of private police forces. [Which] [] are not bound by all of the regulations and civil liberties concerns imposed on the public police to protect both complainants and defendants. Yet by hiring off-duty city police, these companies gain access to the power of arrest and the mantle of official authority that other agencies lack. [emphasis added] Naomi Wolf zeroed in on the same contention in a 2012 article appearing in The Guardian. Questions arose about off-duty NYPD officers acting as security inside private banks: Were Chase, TD, Bank of America and others, which had been targeted by activists, actually now employing our police forces directly? The answer is yes. [That NYPD program] has been set up so that private corporations are actually employing NYPD officers, who are in uniform and armed. The difference is that when these public servants are on the payroll of the banks, they are no longer serving you and the impartial rule of law in your city despite what their uniform and badge imply. [emphasis added] So how do you know when a uniformed officer is acting as an impartial public servant or as an armed, corporate employee? Obviously, you dont. There are certainly numerous ambiguities surrounding this ostensibly privatized police force, most notably the use of excessive and deadly force already displayed in these officers public roles. As University of Missouri-St. Louis criminology professor David Klinger explained to ThinkProgress, regardless of the public or private capacity, the law on deadly force says youre allowed to shoot when your lifes in jeopardy. And speaking to accountability, the same rule applies to on or off-duty work: If it was a bad shooting, the department has to own it. How comforting it is to know the I feared for my life excuse applies equally to both on and off-duty law enforcement. But dont fretwe investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.

3	The Insidious Response from SC Officers Who Tased Autistic ManAmanda Warren The mostly non-verbal autistic man is doing what the neighborhood and cops have known 34-year-old Tario Anderson to do forever walk. Walk up and down the sidewalks of Greenvilles Sullivan and Burns Sts. repeatedly. Thats what he was doing when an officer tased him and a swarm of officers made a drawn out arrest. They pretended not to hear the desperate cries of neighbors alerting the police to his condition. They are requiring him to face two charges, stemming from their incident, in court on January 9th. But most insidious of all it is the callous response from the youthful officer who looks better poised to join a Reich. Following the video are a few points about the response. He broke the law. How? How was Anderson interfering with police work the work of his getting arrested and tased by them? How could he resist arrest and what was the arrest for? The officer cannot explain how Anderson broke the law. A YouTube commenter asked: How can someone be charged with the sole crime of resisting arrest? They have to be arrested for something in order to resist it, right? A good question that more people should follow up. Because justice has rapidly slipped on the slope of Americans being arrested for no reason and then facing the everymans charge of resisting arrest. The absurdity of that is how can one even attempt to resist when they are being shocked, beaten and sometimes shot into submission before they even know what has happened? Were not deemed certified to declare anyone as mentally ill or with a disease 1) Autism is a disability. How can someone with a disability be expected to respond to a command when said disability clearly prevents them from doing so? Deaf, blind, paralysis, Downs, autism these are not crimes. Why should a deaf woman be accountable for being mistaken for the crook she reported, beaten, tased and then face charges for that after sitting in jail for days without an interpreter? Andersons disability has allowed him to only progress to the state of a 5 year old he responded to a terrifying situation as a 5 year old would. So How are we as a society trained to deal with mental illness in police ranks? When all reason and rationale is lost behind electric shocks and fists? Unfortunately, by getting barraged with stories and responses like this that condition the public to accept unfathomable and unwarranted abuse. By being commanded to circumvent all logic and empathy. (And the lack of empathy is a hallmark of psychopathy) If we look away when bullies with badges abuse societys most vulnerable what happens next? The family has filed a complaint but where do such complaints end up? Recently fromAmanda Warren: 
2	VIDEO: Mitt Romney Makes Obama Look Absolutely Foolish In Just 1 Minute President Obama continues to prove that he is absolutely clueless when it comes to foreign policy, making careless decisions like deciding to support Islamic terrorist groups over Israel. And the worst part is, he pretends that doing so is somehow providing humanitarian aid. He has also taken terrible actions when it comes to dealing with Russias Vladimir Putin, who steadfastly refuses Obamas eager friendship. Now, it appears that these actions were nothing but predictable to Mitt Romney, who discussed such issues during the presidential debate in 2012. In a video recently posted by IJ Review, Romney states, Russia does continue to battle us in the U.N. time and time again. I have clear eyes on this. Im not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia or Mr. Putin. Im certainly not going to say to him, Ill give you more flexibility after the election. In fact, Romney accurately predicted how Putin would respond, claiming After the election, hell get more backbone. At the time, Obama responded to Romney by claiming that the Cold War had been over for 20 years. What do you think? Would Romney make a better president than Obama? Watch the video below and let us know your thoughts. 
3	Science Confirms Turmeric As Effective As 14 DrugsBy Sayer Ji Given the sheer density of research performed on this remarkable spice, it is no wonder that a growing number of studies have concluded that it compares favorably to a variety of conventional medications, including: Another way in which turmeric and its components reveal their remarkable therapeutic properties is in research on drug resistant- and multi-drug resistant cancers. We have two sections on our site dedicated to researching natural and integrative therapies on these topics, and while there are dozens of substances with demonstrable efficacy against these chemotherapy- and radiation-resistant cancers, curcumin tops both lists: We have found no less than 54 studies indicating that curcumin can induce cell death or sensitize drug-resistant cancer cell lines to conventional treatment.[x] We have identified 27 studies on curcumins ability to either induce cell death or sensitize multi-drug resistant cancer cell lines to conventional treatment.[xi] Considering how strong a track record turmeric (curcumin) has, having been used as both food and medicine in a wide range of cultures, for thousands of years, a strong argument can be made for using curcumin as a drug alternative or adjuvant in cancer treatment. Or, better yet, use certified organic (non-irradiated) turmeric in lower culinary doses on a daily basis so that heroic doses wont be necessary later in life after a serious disease sets in. Nourishing yourself, rather than self-medicating with nutraceuticals, should be the goal of a healthy diet.

3	When Good People Share Bad Info Heres Why You Need to Fact Check Before You Click ShareBy Claire Bernish Perhaps you have been fortunate enough to begin pulling back the curtain on the inner workings of the government the tandem dealings by politicians, regardless of party affiliation to exploit the public in as many ways possible for the profits of elite politicians, corporations, industries, and banks. And what frequently starts as a trickle of paradigm-shifting new information, quickly forces open the floodgates as the realization things arent at all as they hammered into your psyche for years through State-sponsored indoctrination of public education. It can be overwhelming and you likely want to wake up others to this reality but there are pitfalls in doing so, marked by the same tactics the State employed to fool you in the first place. Disinformation. Misinformation. Propaganda. Outright lies. Purposeful distractions. Misleading bias. Sound familiar? With the sheer amplitude and magnitude of corruption exposed on a daily basis in the lead-up to the November 8th presidential election, alerting friends and family could seem more imperative than ever but the aforementioned traps should and must be avoided at all costs even when it comes from outlets posing as an answer to the mainstream. Let it be noted, that is not to decry credible, consistent independent and alternative media outlets but its crucial to employ critical thinking and a bit of research to separate those with integrity from the mendacious and misleading. Spreading misinformation, false reports, and surreptitious propaganda does nothing to further the cause of truth and, in fact, serves more to harm the credibility of legitimate reports in opposition to the dominant State narrative. Social media, however, has provided plenty of dry tinder for faulty info to spread like wildfire either by the haplessly unaware, or by those with motives to ensure it quickly disseminates to cast doubt in the public mind. But there are a number of ways to divine authentic, genuine information from that meant to distract, divide, discredit, and delegitimize. Merriam-Websters Unabridged Dictionary defines disinformation as false information deliberately and often covertly spread (as by the planting of rumors) in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth. So common is disinformation, those familiar with it will destroy said item with facts before it gains traction in public forums but rumors being rumors, sometimes take on a life of their own. Checking whether or not a new report has any basis is usually as easy as a web search for secondary reports from known credible sources parroting the same claim indeed, one surefire clue a report might be false, or even satire, is a lack of hyperlinks to other sources. Misinformation, on the other hand, can present a trickier issue in that it can have at least a kernel of truth at its core but the packaging, which can include blatant lies or opinion misconstrued as fact, intends to mislead. Political and elections polls tilt public opinion, and when convincing can even dissuade people from voting on candidates and issues they might otherwise deem critical. In fact, selectively cherry-picking a sampling pool or crafting targeted questions will dramatically and sometimes ridiculously fit results to glean a desired answer. Zero Hedge, for example, caught ABC News and the Washington Post in the act over the weekend, after their joint poll showed Hillary Clinton with a double-digit lead over Donald Trump despite increasingly heated controversy from John Podestas leaked emails. Every government on the planet employs propaganda to garner favor for policy and legislation and more subtly to inculcate the citizenry into hollow feelings of nationalism, which serves little purpose other than fueling separation and pride based on the arbitrary geopolitical happenstance of ones birth. Although the most cunning propaganda is virtually imperceptible, this years narrative of Russian aggression couldnt be more patently obvious if it tried. However, thats not to say the same idea of a Russian threat hasnt also crept into reports from supposed analysts, as well. A number of generally credible outlets, rather than presenting analysis with open-ended outcomes, have taken the governments cue to warn of impending nuclear war at Pres. Vladimir Putins behest despite a lack of evidence to back the claim. Fearmongering, it should be noted, is a common tool of propagandists worldwide. Outright lies and deliberate distractions go hand-in-hand when it comes to parsing truth from fiction and an unfortunately growing number of tabloid-esque outlets peddle absurd lies as truth in the interest of getting clicks. Notably, differentiating tabloid sites from credible alternative sources can be the most difficult to the newly awakening truth-seeker. A fine line exists between attention-grabbing headlines topping truthful articles and head-turning captions screaming wholesale lies. Indeed, considering the populace-at-large now champions an attention span less than that of a goldfish, convincing readers to venture past the first two sentences of a legitimate article can be the most frustrating facet of the job of independent media journalist. Scammers and profit-seekers capitalize on the fact most will share a link without ever bothering to view its contents no matter if the work constitutes so much garbage. Although it isnt an absolute guarantee, a wise axiom to follow stands the test of time: If it sounds too good or too absurd to be true, it probably is. If youre still uncertain, ask someone you trust, seek a second and third and fourth source, and, above all, do a little digging after all, the Internet puts the world at everyones fingertips. Journalism is not meant to be devoid of bias on the contrary, good journalism persuades. However, bias can be employed in the extreme, easily bordering on misinformation. A topic proffered by FOX News and MSNBC will never be reported the same way each has clear political bias and an agenda to push. Bias doesnt have to be quite so flagrant to be effective. So-called political pundits are a common tool used by corporate media to subtly infuse bias by appealing to the public trust of a putative expert in the particular topic of discussion and pundits are usually just political or party insiders, ex-government employees, and others with a vested interest in ensuring public opinion sways in a certain direction. Also, pundits and experts nearly always receive compensation for their input. A stellar recent example of a biased opinion presented as expert assessment came from former assistant FBI director James Kallstrom a known devotee of presidential candidate Donald Trump who castigated the Clintons for being a crime family. While that point is debatable, the fact Kallstrom appeared as a former official of the government connoted insider knowledge an appeal to his ostensible authority and his diatribe went viral nearly immediately for its incendiary nature. It isnt so much that his opinion didnt deserve to be shared, but that it needed to be considered in light of his political desires his characterization of the Clintons directly feeds Kallstroms desire for Trump to win the White House. While each of these topics could and have filled tomes, hopefully this provides a gentle reminder to be wary of believing everything you read. As any journalist worth their salt will say, if you dont believe whats written, research it on your own. Follow links provided. Seek new information. Open your mind to new ideas and be willing to part with indoctrinated thoughts that no longer serve you. But dont be fooled and it behooves all of us not to spread the sort of faulty information that discredits the general movement to expose the governments innumerable lies. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Image Credit: Anthony Freda Art The only to check the facts is to use something other than Google! Agree. Google OR Wikipedia, Raw Story, Common Dreams I forgot about Common Dreams; their articles on the economy are excellent. Although they lean left, they still abhor dirty politics. Thanks for reminding me. I find Wikipedia to be too opinionated, with a definite bias on certain issues that they do not back up with facts. However, theyre good for other things. The irony to this article is that although both sides present information with a slant its the far right that flat out time and time again uses this tactic to its extreme. I personally flip through all channels for news and investigate sources (not punditry) when I have a question. For instance when in a discussion over Benghazi I went directly to the published Benghazi report, NOT JUST LISTEN TO PUNDITS SPEWING OPINION OR ECHO CHAMBER B.S. Here is how the far right does it; Alt-right blogs or sites can flat out make something up. Trump or surrogate says people are saying Then twitter explodes claiming it as fact Ultimately fox may run with it if its not too nutty Example: the last two retractions fox has made in the last week. Normal media has standards to be able to source what they report or face possible legal repercussions. On the other hand Breitbart and blogs like this face zero scrutiny and need nothing more than innuendo or rumor to publish. Everyone needs to check into sources before believing anything from most media. DO NOT USE EVER, EVER, EVER Politifact or Snopes as a valid resource for fact checking. 
2	ISIS Delivers THIS Chilling Threat To Michelle And Obama Daughters, Barack Should Be Worried According to reports, hackers believed to be from the ISIS recently broke into the Twitter accounts of a military wife and began threatening military families around the country. The hackers called themselves Cyber Caliphate and claimed to be taking their Holy War digital in what they deemed Cyber Jihad. The hackers wrote a series of chilling tweets. Read them below: While your president and your husband are killing our brothers in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan were coming for you. You think youre safe but the IS is already here, CyberCaliphate got into your PC and smartphone. We know everything about you, your husband and your children and were much closer than you can even imagine. Youll see no mercy infidel! Blood Valentines day #MichelleObama! Were watching you, your girls, and your husband! #CyberCaliphate The account belonged to the spouse of a U.S. Marine. She had primarily used her Twitter handle to promote her non-profit organization, which provides support for military spouses. Not surprisingly, American military families around the country are concerned about the threatening messages. Instead of backing down, however, theyve become more vocal in their support of defeating ISIS. What do you think of the threats? Are American military families at risk?

A South Carolina school has officially been forced to stop selling Chik-fil-A sandwiches, even though a majority of the profit from the sales was being put towards the schools special education department. According to Teal Harding, spokesman for Horry County Schools, the Chik-fil-A sandwiches are only 90 calories over what has been deemed acceptable for an entre item. He also told reporters that the county has made every effort to ensure that they are complying with the new standards. Its going to be tough for a lot of us, claimed Principal Paul Browning. We will take a hit, but well adjust. Its going to make us be even more creative. What do you think? Should Michelle be forcing schools to get creative to educate our children? 
3	Attorney for Family in San Bernardino Shooting: Official Story Implausible Doesnt Add UpBy William N. Grigg Theres a lot of disconnects, and theres a lot of unknowns, and a lot of things that quite frankly dont add up, insisted attorney David S. Chelsey, who represents Farooqs family when asked by CNN correspondent Chris Cuomo how the family could explain how he went from someone they knew and loved to someone who could do something so monstrous. Witnesses and investigators have both described a terrorist onslaught carried out with military precision by suspects who were trained and capable. Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, didnt appear to have the necessary background and skillset, according to Chelsey. He expressed particular skepticism that Malik, who was nursing a newborn child, was suitable to carry out a depraved mission of that kind: She was only about ninety pounds, so its unlikely she could even carry a weapon, or wear some type of a vest, or do any of this. The most provocative claim made by Chelsey dealt with the condition of the alleged terrorists when their bodies were found: Where the couple was found, from what I understand, is that they were handcuffed, lying face-down in this truck, shot up. By all accounts, Farooks family is cooperating fully in the investigation. We sat with the FBI for three hours, and they tried to identify some characteristics or some affiliations that he might have had that have led him to act in this way, and they were totally stumped, totally frustrated, Chelsey reports. Everyone is clueless. According to CNN, the couple had left damaged cell phones in a trash bin on the scene. Citing unnamed authorities, the network said that this suggested that the couple was trying to hide their tracks, and make it impossible for investigators to see what was on their cell phones. Of course, this could have been done more easily by not bringing the incriminating cell phones with them, rather than discarding them at the scene of the massacre. The hard drive on the couples computer is also missing, which has resulted in a subpoena to their Internet Service Provider. A dedicated member of a terror cell would try to destroy electronic information that could incriminate co-conspirators. According to defenders of the NSAs all-encompassing electronic surveillance, Islamist radicals are being more careful to avoid leaving cyber-breadcrumbs that can be followed; merely removing a hard drive from a desktop computer wouldnt be enough. Another oddity, according to CNN reports, is the composition of the explosives found in the couples home: The recipe followed in making the pipe bombs does not match any of the formulas associated with al-Qaeda, ISIS, or other known terrorist groups. According to Mustafa Kuko, director of the Islamic Center of Riverside, California, Farook regularly attended worship services until about two years ago. We were all shocked by the news that Farook had allegedly murdered 14 people, Kuko told the Los Angeles Times. That shock was compounded by news that one of the victims in the attack, a social worker who survived multiple gunshot wounds, also attends the mosque. Its very likely that they knew each other, and Farook must have known she was there, Kuko points out. It just doesnt make any sense. Why would he do this? The answers to those insistent questions may cause Farooks family and friends to revise their assessment of a man they considered to be peaceful, well-adjusted, and sincerely friendly. Those answers might also require significant revisions in the emerging official narrative of the atrocity in San Bernardino. Image Credit William N. Grigg writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com Very poor article. Stupid, and I dont use that word often. So OK Mr. Lawyer, how about you enlighten us as to what is wrong in this article? You cant, can you? Go away troll/shill. I did not say that I was a lawyer. Like your comment it is all speculation and innuendo. You definitely are a troll though! Caveat. I did not read through the entire article. What I read was so inane, I just skimmed the rest. Dont often mention your own ID? cmon dip shhitte the obvious fact (you make obvious) that you are a lawyer.. Govt shill (piss pore one at that) Its amazing how mass shootings have gone up during Mr Barry Obammy in the White House. one more set-up by the foreign aliens in control of the USGov.. One more repetition of the set-up murder of Lee H. Oswald, to distract from the guilty. This time, with a different twist, murdering the patsies with their hands hand-cuffed behind their backs. Are the assassins who did the murders proud of themselves and the criminals who instructed them ? False flag, just like all the restArrest should be made. u saw nothing Lets see, did they find their passports nearby? Presumably they had time to update their facebook while ransacking and shooting? However, mass ignorance may be the best weapon the NWO has. And this may be the pivotal event, not a nuke or 911, but excessive enough to allow the expected gun confiscation, martial law clampdown etc. It also has the spin benefit of increasing hatred towards Syrians, which at the end of the day will be critical for the NWO in realizing their dream of one world government. Gods speed all here is a pic of the ID of the girl. notice the spelling of revenue it is incorrect on the official company ID not hardly + their last name ends in a K should be a Q as in Quran. I didnt know people had Christmas party in the middle of the week in the. Morning. The ones Ive attended have been after work at the end of the week. But I dont work for the government. I smell the smoke of the Reichstag Aristotle was more like 2000 years ago When two people went into the party and shot up the place were they these two? Were there any witnesses , who recognized them? If so, were they the same two who were killed by law enforcement? If both are two, how is it a false flag? However, if the two were handcuffed before being killed by law enforcement something is seriously wrong. (getting rid of sources of info?) I realize the U.S. government could have been involved somehow. Islam is certainly violent. It has a history of violence all of the way back to its founding. It is possible these two were influenced by Islam. I dont understand why this is automatically looked at as a false flag. Other than these supposedly peaceful people becoming violent, what doesnt add up? Am I missing something? What is your proof that Islam is a violent? Can you quote anything from the Quran that is violent? The Bible has many many extremely violent verses, if one to blame the Spanish inquisitions and the crusades on those verses, Christianity would be the most violent reliogen mankind ever known. The first word in the Quran is READ, so please read before you make such a false statement. Taqiyya: The Muslim Practice of Lying to Protect Islam Is Prevalent across Sects Most non-Muslims dont know that Muslims are encouraged to lie if it promotes Islam. Lying is permitted by Koran 16:106: Anyone who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty. This verse, on the face of it, allows a Muslim to lie, under duress, about converting to another faith, as long as he remains a Muslim at heart. Yet, by extension, this same verse can also be used by a Muslim to lie about converting from his true faith, because he feels compelled to do so in defense of the jihadist goals of Islam. For example, a Muslim could run for president, all the while claiming adherence to a non-Muslim faith (such as Christianity), in order to win election to office, because the non-Muslim culture in which he was running compelled such action as a necessary part of getting elected. It might also be worth pointing out that swearing on an entire stack of Bibles would not improve matters, when it came to taking the Presidential Oath of Office, as long as the Muslim taking the Ive said from the moment I heard about it Something just does not feel right about this my intuition is pretty high!!! Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind. Matthew 11: Souls are created by the Giver of All Life. 
2	Trey Gowdy Just Exposed Hillary And Comey In A Way That They Cant Run From... Its Finally Over FBI Director James Comey seems to be digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself in his attempts to cover up the actions of Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. But Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina is not going to let him off easy. He is determined to hold Comey accountable for his bias, and to bring just to the U.S. soldiers and field agents who died because of Hillary Clintons careless actions while serving as Secretary of State. Gowdy reportedly held another hearing this week with Republican Congressman James Chaffetz. Comey continued to make excuses for Clinton, dodging questions whenever he could. Having done many investigations myself, theres always conflicting recollections of facts, some of which are central [to the investigation], some of which are peripheral, Comey commented. Gowdy and Chaffetz then turned their attention toward Cheryl Mills, Hillarys former chief of staff. Mills has also been held to the fire for denying she knew anything about Hillarys use of a private server. I think she lied to everybody, Chaffetz argued. Come on, theres direct evidence that she actually did know. It makes no sense! The evidence Chaffetz was referring to was an email where Mills acknowledges the server in writing. What do you think? Do these criminals deserve to be punished for their lies? 
2	Donald Trump Announces What Will Be Different About His White House Dinners As president of the United States, one of the many tasks you are granted is hosting state dinners for various foreign dignitaries who visit our country. These dinners are typically formal affairs, with black ties and fancy food. Now, Trump has promised that if he becomes president, all of that will end. Trump has argued that until the U.S. is no longer running a trade deficit, there will be no state dinners. Once that problem is solved, he argued, he intends to double the dinners. This is not the first time Trump has made comments like this. Last summer, Trump argued that he would have rather given the president of China a Big Mac than the Grilled Cannon of Colorado Lamb with Garlic Fried Milk and Baby Broccoli that he was served instead. Trump was very critical of Obamas approach. And then Obama gives a big party, a state dinner for the head of China, they probably dont even talk about it, Trump argued. Were guessing that Michelle Obama has been overly invested in coming up with the food for state dinners. Hopefully shes done a better job there than what she has done for school cafeterias. Its going to be different folks, Trump concluded. Its going to be different. Were not going to have state dinners. Ill have state dinnerswhen we break even Ill have a state dinner, and when we start making money, Ill have a double state dinner. What do you think of Trumps comments? Does it make sense to stop the lavish spending while our country is in a deficit? 
2	The Face Of Andrew Jackson On The $20 Bill To Be Changed To THIS [SEE PHOTO] Because American currency is dominated with white and very male, a campaign called Women on 20s set its sites to spread awareness and push for a woman on the bill. During the two rounds of voting the contenders were Harriet Tubman, Wilma Mankiller, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Rosa Parks for the new face of the twenty. To change our currency the power lies in the hands of the Secretary of Treasury, Jack Lew, who was appointed by Obama need we say more. The campaign has now breached over 750,000 votes, America wants a change. They hope the president will utilize his influence to put Tubman on the $20 bill. So far Obama thinks its a pretty good idea. What do you think about having the American $20 changed to this? 
2	The NRA Takes THIS Massive Stand Against Obama Following Obamas recent calls for gun control, the NRAs Wayne LaPierre took to social media to post a very important message about the reality of todays mass shootings. What he has to say is eye-opening. This puts Obamas arguments to shame. The untold secret in Washington, is that he [President Obama] has the laws he needs to stop the bloodshed, LaPierre claims. Right now, under the existing federal gun laws, he could take every felon with a gun, drug dealer with a gun, and criminal gangbanger with a gun off the streets tomorrow and lock them up for five years or more, he continues. But he wont do it, LaPierre concludes. His Justice Department wont do it. And the media never ask why. But this line is the kicker: Convicted gangbangers carry illegal guns because they fear rival gangs more than they fear being prosecuted. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with LaPierre?

2	BREAKING: Obama Breaks His Silences, Disrespects Cops With Sickening Statement About Dallas Shooter The nation is still saddened by the shooting last week in Dallas that left five police officers dead at the hands of a Black Lives Matter activist named Micah Johnson. During the massacre, Johnson literally told police officers that he was trying to kill as many white cops as he possibly could. Still, President Barack Obama denied that this shooting was racially motivated. As usual, hes unwilling to accept any reality that challenges his agenda. I think its very hard to untangle the motives of this shooter, Obama said during a speech in Poland on Saturday. As weve seen, in a whole range of incidents with mass shooters, they are, by definition troubled. By definition, if you shoot people who pose no threat to you, strangers, you have a troubled mind. His speech came just hours after Dallas Police Chief David Brown confirmed that Johnson had told negotiators he wanted to kill white people. Watch Obamas full statement below and tell us what you think. Do we need a real leader in the White House? 
1	Silently berating himself for his carelessness and lack of forethought, local office worker Jason Lochrie, who arrived over an hour late to work Wednesday morning, reportedly had no choice but to use an excuse he had been hoping would allow him to leave early. Damn it, I was all set to get out of here at 3:30 by telling everyone I had a dermatologists appointment, but when I showed up after the start of our 10 a.m. meeting, I was forced to use it right then and there, said a visibly frustrated Lochrie, who admitted he briefly considered repurposing the same alibi several hours later before determining that there was no way he could convince his colleagues and supervisor that he had scheduled two different doctors visits on the same day. If I had made it in just a half hour earlier, I probably couldve slipped into the office and made a quick comment about the traffic and still had the afternoon appointment excuse ready to gonow thats totally shot. Maybe I could say a family members in the hospital, but I feel like that might be pushing it. At press time, Lochrie had reportedly walked straight out of the office without saying anything.

Sit down at any family restaurant and youre likely to see kids sitting at the table, addicted to their devices. Finally, one Southern mom decided that she had enough. Fed up with her childrens addiction to social media and the effects it was having on their behavior, she decided to quite literally blow their phone to smithereens. Deciding that wasnt enough of a statement, she went on to finish off the job with a sledgehammer. I hereby denounce the effects that social media have on my children, the mom shouts at the beginning of the video. Their disobedience and their disrespect. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with this mom? 
2	Navy Violates Constitutional Rights In Attempt To Become Completely Gender Neutral The Navy has just taken a huge step in its attempt to become completely gender neutral. They have begun to ban certain words from being said. One such word is seamen, because it apparently gives the idea that only men are in the Navy. The Navy is also changing the titles of its men and women, away from anything that has the word man in it, such as midshipman (many of these titles come from hundreds of years of tradition). This is completely absurd. America is being overrun by politically correct Liberals, and we dont like the sight of it. In a statement, the Navy said they wanted to ensure they were representative of all sailors and did not discriminate based on gender. We wouldnt want to hurt anyones feelings, now. We blame the Obama administration for shifting America into a country with no backbone. If Hillary is put in office, we can only imagine the damage she will cause. Do you think the Navy should be forced to change titles back to their traditional names? 
2	U.S. Attack Russian Spies Who Uncover Secret ISIS Base In Tennessee According to recent reports, the United States military has just conducted an airstrike in the Levant War Zone. Four warplanes were launched at a Russian Special Forces base on Sunday. Three were killed and thirteen were injured in the attacks. Russia claims that the attacks stemmed from American fears the Federation forces had uncovered a top secret plot that involved the CIA smuggling ISIS leaders training in the United States. The report also notes that the Islamic military based located in Tennessee is not the only one that is active in the United States. In fact, there are at least 22 others throughout the country that have been documented. To make matters worse, this only accounts for known military training bases. There are also more than 2,200 Islamic mosques, 75% of which are part of the Muslim Brotherhood network according to property records. Essentially, the report notes that Islamic extremists have been able to develop a sophisticated network of interconnected organizations across America. Following the United States attempt to kill Russian Spetsnaz forces in Syria, Pautin has ordered the MoD to facilitate Iraqs request for intervention of Russian military forces to expel Turkish invaders. What do you think? Is this a serious threat to American safety? Does the American public need to know about this now?

2	Obama Likely To Become Supreme Court Justice After Presidency According to recent reports, new evidence suggests that Obama could have places to join the Supreme Court after his presidency comes to an end in 2016. It would not be a surprise given his background sitting as president of the Harvard Law Review. He also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. While he was campaigning in 2008, Obama made the statement that the best justices in history have been former politicians. At the time, he listed three-time California governor Earl Warner as a prime example of a hero. We need somebody whos got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what its like to be a young teenage mom, Obama said of the Supreme Court Justice. The empathy to understand what its like to be poor, or African American, or gay, or disabled, or old. Clearly, Obama believes he falls into that category. If he were to assume to the position it would not be the first time. President William Howard Taft became the chief justice of the Supreme Court after he left the White House. What do you think? Would Obama ever make it to Supreme Court justice? 
2	Baltimore Police Commissioner Saw This Thug Rioting So He Does Something UNTHINKABLE [VIDEO] As Baltimore breaks out in chaos, Police Commissioner Anthony Batts is struggling to keep his city secure. Now, he has urged the Baltimore police to defend the city from rioters who are protesting the death of Freddie Gray. This is not protesting, Batts said at a press conference addressing rioters directly. This is not your first amendment rights. This is just criminal acts doing damage to a community. During the conference, Batts also explained why police required the help of the National Guard to protect their city from violent protesters and looters. They just outnumbered us and outflanked us, Batts told the public. We needed to have more resources out there. Unfortunately, the conflict in Baltimore has gotten worse after President Obama addressed the riots in Maryland. True to his typical position, Obama blamed the death of Gray and the chaos of the city on the United States police. Since Ferguson we have seen too many instances of what appears to be police officers interacting with individuals, primarily African Americans, often poor, in ways that raise troubling questions, Obama told the public. And it comes up it seems like, once a week now, or every couple weeks. And so I think its understandable that, and more importantly moms and dads across the nation saying this is a crisis. Watch below and tell us what you think. Are you sick of President Obama using his leadership to defy law enforcement? 
2	Obama Uses Executive Authority To Delete Stunning Phrase From Oath Of Allegiance At this point, it should come as no surprise that President Barack Obama intends to use his executive authority any chance he gets. This is especially true when it comes to the matter of immigrations. According to reports, Obama is now allowing legal immigrants seeking citizenship through the naturalization process to skip the Oath of Allegianceyou know, the part where they pledge to defend America. Thats right. According to Breitbart, immigrants can now opt out of the part of the oath where they pledge to bear arms on behalf of the United States. They also do not have to cite any specific religious belief that forbids them to perform military service, Breitbart reports. This executive order was enacted in July of last year, and Congress did little to nothing to stop it. We dont expect that to be different here either. Apparently, Obama and his lackeys at the USIC think its too much to ask the 18.7 legal immigrants eligible for naturalization to take this oath, including the 750,000 who will be naturalized in the coming year. And the move undermines the very foundations of being an American citizen. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama putting his own agenda ahead of American safety? 
2	Black Activist Learned Texas Deputy Had been Executed, Issues THIS Challenge To Obama Immediately Joe Evans, the former vice-chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party in Texas, just released a video calling for President Obama to denounce the black lives matter movement. The clip was posted on his Facebook page shortly after he learned about the murder of Harris County Sheriffs Office Deputy Darren Goforth. The video has already gone viral. Many people will blame it on us not taking a serious approach to mental health, or we need stricter gun laws, Evans claims. But I think we should start by denouncing the black lives matter movement. Its a racist movementracist to the coreand it will only cause more division and more hate among Americans, Evans concluded. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Evans? 
1	Saying that he only vaguely remembers the historic game, former MLB umpire Jim Quick admitted Monday to calling a no-hitter during a 1980 matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants while high on the hallucinogenic drug LSD. I took a couple tabs of acid in the afternoon because I forgot I was umping that night, so by the time I got to the stadium I was already tripping pretty hard, Quick told reporters, adding that although he did his best to act normally while standing behind home plate, the rest of his officiating crew could tell he was under the influence of either drugs or alcohol. Honestly, the pitcher, batter, and catcher just looked like giant blurs out there, and the strike zone kept moving around in front of my eyes. Even so, I somehow kept calling strikeout after strikeout after strikeout. It was exhilarating, but by the time I called the final out of the ninth inning, I couldnt tell the difference between a fastball through the middle and a slider low and outside. Quick went on to lament that his performance did not result in a perfect game, as he also called eight walks in the contest. 
1	Michael Jackson, a talented child performer known for his love of amusement park rides and his hobby of collecting exotic animals for his Neverland Ranch, died from sudden cardiac arrest Thursday at the age of 12. The prepubescent singer, who enjoyed playing dress-up and often referred to himself as 'the King of Pop,' was celebrated for his nave exuberance and his generosity toward other children. 'This is a terrible loss for music and for all of us,' brother Jermaine Jackson said. 'He had so much potential to blossom into a gracious and mature human being. As it is, the world will never know the genius Michael Jackson might have become had he grown up.' The singer leaves behind a large body of hits, 25,000 unopened toys, and nearly $400 million of debt.

2	Liberals Are FURIOUS After Willie Robertson Makes This Shocking Announcement If there is one thing we know about the stars of Duck Dynasty, its that they arent afraid to voice their opinions. Earlier this year, Willie Robertson attempted to endorse Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal for president. Jindal has not been able to gain traction in the polls, however. And now it seems as though Robertson is endorsing Trump. I do like me some Trump, I gotta admit, Robertson said after Trump called him on stage at an event in Oklahoma City. Heres the deal. Were both successful businessmen. We both have pretty big shows on television. We both have wives that are 1,000 times better looking than us, so I like Trump. Of course, Robertsons endorsement came primarily from the viewpoint of a businessman, not from someone considering who their next president will be. Some speculate that Robertson was simply playing nice. What do you think? Will Robertson be voting for Trump? 
1	When The selfnewss editorial board convened to determine its Person of the Year for 2014, the members of our selection committee were in agreement that identifying the individual most worthy of this distinguished honor would be no easy task. Indeed, when faced with reducing hundreds of esteemed innovators, philanthropists, and thought leaders to a single deserving recipient, the selection committee ultimately proved unable to choose just one man or woman who most embodies the values of integrity, benevolence, and courage that define this most prestigious of accolades. Thus, following weeks of impassioned debate, The selfnews is proud to present, for the first time ever, the two co-winners of our Person of the Year award: Pakistani human rights advocate Malala Yousafzai and 12-time WWE champion John Cena. Over the course of the last year, who could be said to have accomplished more and had a greater impact on the world than these two? Yousafzai: an impassioned defender of womens rights who has risked her life to campaign for equal education opportunities for girls. Cena: a physically dominant strongman and submission specialist who has ascended to the top of the professional wrestling world through his combination of charisma, athleticism, and devastating finishing moves, such as the Attitude Adjustment and the STFU. Truly, no two more outstanding or inspirational figures could be said to exist. Of course, though equals in the eyes of The selfnews, Yousafzai and Cena took markedly different paths to this years honor. Yousafzai survived a vicious assassination attempt by a Taliban gunman, battling the odds to surmount her near-fatal injuries and emerging more dedicated than ever to advancing the ideals of equality and freedom. Much as Cena inspires countless millions of wrestling fans across the so-called Cenation, Yousafzai inspires young girls around the globe, even in spite of constant death threats, and earlier this year made history by becoming, at only age 17, the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. No less remarkable are the accomplishments of Cena, whose work inside the ring has rightfully earned him praise and respect the world over. Just as Yousafzai survived an assassins bullets, the fearless WrestleMania headliner has endured hundreds, if not thousands of suplexes, backbreakers, and steel chair blows to the head, and yet has refused to submit to a three count time and time again. And like the Pakistani activist, Cena also proved his bravery, standing tall in the face of a range of foes every bit as vicious as the Taliban, including Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and Kane. And though Cenas list of victories is long and illustrious, perhaps no occasion was more heartening than his heroism at this year's Money In The Bank pay-per-view, in which he improbably won the main event ladder match to secure the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt, a celebrated prize rivaled only by the Nobel committees offering. As stated, the voting process for this years award was competitive and impassioned. Faced with two icons of seemingly equal meritMalala Yousafzai and John Cenaour panel was unable to decide which one was more deserving of our highest honor. Cena or Yousafzai? Just the fourth wrestler in history to win multiple Royal Rumble matches or a relentless crusader for equality and progress? Some choices cannot be made. And though Cena technically won by a handful of votes, the selection committee ultimately determined that to place one above the other would be a disservice to them, to their legacies, and to you, the reader. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that The selfnews presents our Person of the Year award to both humanitarian Malala Yousafzai and wrestler, actor, and rapper John Cena, two sources of inspiration to a world in desperate need of heroes. 
1	More than 15 millennia of human artistic endeavor, stretching back to the Lascaux cave paintings of the Magdalenian Age, have culminated in See Spot Run, the hit Warner Brothers comedy about a wacky mailman and on-the-lam pooch. 'From the plays of Sophocles to the concertos of Bach, to the modernist breakthroughs of Martha Graham, for thousands of years, artistic expression has fed man's soul and united the human race,' said Oxford University humanities professor Dr. Edmund Woolsey-Cooke. 'See Spot Run, starring David Arquette and Leslie Bibb, is the logical endpointthe apogee, if you willof this cultural progression.' 
3	Venezuela Shows Us What an Electricity Shortage Looks LikeBy Daisy Luther Thats exactly what has been going on in Venezuela, since they dont have enough problems running out of food and other suppliesin a previous development of the excruciating economic collapse of the country. In the latest installment of collapse propaganda, bus-driver-turned-Venezuelan-President Nicholas Maduro offered some beauty advice. He wants the women of Venezuela to stop using hair dryers to save electricity aside from special occasions. He said, I always think a woman looks better when she just runs her fingers through her hair and lets it dry naturally. Its just an idea I have. This sage advice came along with announcements of further cuts and suggestions. State employees will now have Fridays off for at least the next two months, and he also recommended that citizens make small changes, like embracing the tropical heat and hanging clothes out to dry instead of using tumble dryers. (source) This isnt a new issue, but a worsening one. In May of 2015, they tried to sugar coat the rationing of electricity by saying they were just being green. Vice President Jorge Arreaza explained: This is, of course, linked to global warming and the excessive industrialization of capitalism, which never stops, nor has ever stopped, for the effects that it can have on the climate, on society and on Mother Earth. When the electricity concern began, public employees saw their work hours cut to 6 per day. Businesses were required to reduce their usage by 10% and new laws permitted police visits to inspect the businesses to ensure that they werent exceeding their allotments. In February, citizens who were already facing shortages and long lines for items like cooking oil, laundry soap, diapers, and food were absolutely stunned when shopping centers were forced to shut off power from1:00 to 3:00 pm and again from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in a measure to save electricity. Heres why we need to pay attention to whats going on in Venezuela: It provides a modern-day glimpse into what an economic collapse really looks like, much like the collapse of Greece was a cautionary tale. These are both direct case studies of what happens to the middle class during an economic collapse. Previously, I wrote about how it could happen here. (Excerpt) Do you think it cant happen here? Consider the forced rationing of water amidst the drought in California. Rationing that only applies to regular folks, not wealthy people or massive corporations. Its obvious that the state really is in the midst of an epic drought. But conservation mandates are not applied equally, much like the electricity rationing in Venezuela. Golf courses for the rich and famous remain lush and green, while wells across the state run dry. Ordinary people arent allowed to have lawns or to even have vegetable gardens, and newspapers are calling upon good Samaritans to snitch if they feel someone is wasting water. Theres even an app for that, and Smart Meters are in place to target wasters. (Unless they happen to be wealthy corporations, of course. They have different rules and snitching on them will do no good.) One small community, Outingdale, just received word that strict rationing is now in effect. Residents will be allowed only 50 gallons per day, per person, and no outside watering of any kind will be permitted. This is not good news for folks who rely on their vegetable gardens for food. Meanwhile, the Nestle corporation is busy pumping out the states remaining water, bottling it, and selling it back to people for an enormous profit. Anyway, back to electricity. Im reminded of the series, The Hunger Games, in which residents of the outlying districts are only allowed power when the Capitol deems they should have it, such as when they want to air propaganda entertainment to keep people in line. In the movie, citizens of the Districts were relegated to cooking over open fires and lighting their rooms with candles. No one had transportation or power. They were not allowed to hunt to supplement their meager food allotments and in the heroines District, they were not allowed to use the coal the area was rich with. Uniformed peacekeepers patrolled the districts to ensure that the rules were strictly adhered to and that the excruciating poverty was the standard for all residents. They can already remotely turn off appliances they deem are using too much energy. At the press of a few keys on a central computer, our electricity usage could be monitored to make sure we stay within the designated limits, strictly slotted to only certain hours of the day, or even cut off entirely if we exceed our rations. It may not even be direct rationing that cuts us off, as it is in Venezuela. As prices of electricity keep climbing, how extreme is it to think that one of these days, electricity might only be for rich people? However it goes down you can be sure that no one in the government will admit to mismanagement or a desire to enhance control and dependency. It will be couched in warm, fuzzy terms of saving the planet from carbon emissions, much like the propaganda coming out of Venezuela. Its easy for us to see it when it happens to them, but many people here are so deeply entrenched in cognitive dissonance that theyll swallow the green pill with a smile, moving into their Agenda 21 microhomesand martyring themselves for the good of Team Green. (Find the original article HERE) Its not that far-fetched, and if you dont fall into the category of rich people it is definitely something you should prepare for. What if the Big Event isnt an EMP, but that no one could afford to pay the electric bill? Power prices are going up what if they rise to the point that its a choice between food and electricity? What if the lights in the middle-class neighborhoods just start going out? Lets face it, if you really had to pick, youd choose to feed your kids over having the lights on, right? What a control mechanism that would be. What better way to return to a Lords and Serfs lifestyle than the strong visible delineation of who has power and who does not? The rationing of electricity or the lack of affordability would change life as we know it. Our society is incredibly dependent on the power grid, not only to keep us comfortable, but also to keep us entertained. Weve grown soft. As well, we depend on others having access to electricity to make our lives easier by keeping us fed and clothed, and by making the things we purchase easily accessible to us. You dont have to return to serfdom, though. The steps you take and the things you learn now can help you overcome any hardships presented by the lack of affordable necessities. Learn to provide your own food. If the stores are closed or supplies are limited because manufacturing plants cant produce food, youll have to provide for yourself. For more self-reliance information, be sure to check out this round-up manifesto with more than 300 resources! Reduce your dependence on the power grid and use less. If prices skyrocket, there are lots of things you can do to cut your usage. Before anyone starts arguing that this is caving in to the demands of those who are rationing power, (because theres always someone who says that) sometimes its a matter of personal economic survival. Whoever survives, wins. If its a matter of the price of power skyrocketing, your ability to use minimal electricity may allow you to still afford to use a freezer, a laptop, or a medical device. It only makes sense that the less dependent on the grid you are, the less you will be affected by a shortage. Find other ways to stay warm. If you cant afford to run your central heat, its important to have back-up methods for staying warm. Methods that use fuel: If you have no secondary heat source, no fuel, or limited fuel, the following options can help. An electricity shortage doesnt end with lack of lights at the flick of a switch. It can have very broad ramifications, such as a harsh cutback on manufacturing, transportation, and retail outlets. Make sure you have your preps in order with long-term emergency food, a well-stocked pantry, back-up plans, and non-food necessities. Take lessons fromthe way folks survived the last Great Depression and use their hard-won wisdom to survive the next one. The great thing about prepping is that your general efforts will see you through a wide variety of disasters, even those which gradually creep up on you, like energy shortages. Do you have any suggestions about reducing your reliance on the utility system? How would you foresee an electricity shortage affecting the average person? Share your insights in the comments below!

Time to get off gridtrucks bringing food is not the best answer. Who cares about Venezuela, when the rest of the world is in serious meltdown. I have a friend (a Missionary) that travels to The Dominican republic and he says there are at times forced power outages. What people do to deal with it is to install a battery bank and charge it with with an auto battery charger when the power is on. And use it for the times they gov shuts the power off. Add a few solar panels, a charge controller and you have an off-grid system. Buy the stuff for this now while its inexpensive and you will be way ahead of the masses that will be trying to deal with it while the power is going on and off. I see this as one way to handle the down times of the grid and still do things with electricity. A generator would be a good investment too. I have one for my work in vacant hoes without power. But I would use it other times if needed. Also for lighting I dont see LED camping lanterns mentioned. I have a few several of these, a few are solar powered. The solar ones work great and need nothing more then to set them in a window during the day. A solar battery charger can keep batteries charged and do it for free. Amazon sells these for $60.00. For cooking a Butterfly stove (used by 20% of the people on the planet) would work well. (Who cares about Venezuela, when the rest of the world is in serious meltdown.) We all should as people are people the world over. And only a real fool thinks it cant happen in the USA. Learn from it and plan to deal with it so you are ready. And a serious meltdown will bring rolling blackouts. 
1	After years of silent speculation, Trotter family members openly wondered Monday when ailing family matriarch Helen Trotter would die. 'I'd say sometime in the next six months,' Trotta's granddaughter Emily told her brother Zach after a visit to Valley View Nursing Home. 'No way she'll hang on more than a year.' Reports indicate that the Trotters hope the 88-year-old stays alive at least until after Christmas so it doesn't force a change of travel plans. 
3	6 Major Lies That Will Be Pushed On NFL Fans This WeekBernie Suarez As we wind down another NFL season, lets turn our attention again to how the globalists rely heavily on the irrational sports (fanaticism) platform to pump their lies and deception to an already hypnotized audience waiting as empty vessels to have their minds polluted with any lie the globalists want them to believe. First, let me say that there are few audiences in America which are as vulnerable to government propaganda as a football audience in late January. The excitement of the upcoming games and the anticipation of who will be in the Super Bowl is psychologically overwhelming for many. The excitement surrounding the chase for the Super Bowl leaves these zombie-like naive football fans wide open to subliminal messages, political suggestions, reshaping of paradigms, tweaking of belief systems, manipulation of perceptions and overall indoctrination on what one should believe. To understand the magnitude of this NFL fan TV-watching hypnotic effect one must understand the hypnosis that most Americans are under due to the flicker rate of the TV, the constant rapid visual stimuli, which have been shown to induce hypnosis. Coupled this with the already complacent self-absorbed state of mind most Americans are in to begin with, add a little alcohol, and a daily dose of mental junk food known as mainstream media news and Hollywood entertainment. Add to that, the fact that most Americans are ingesting massive amounts of fluoride to keep them complacent, and then add to that all the Americans that are on long-term prescription and other drugs that alter your mind. Put all of these factors together into the chips-pizza-n-beer couch-potato typical scenario, and you have a recipe for mental disaster on your hand. Sadly, as extreme or cynical as this may sound to some, most readers will probably acknowledge and even cringe at the fact that this description is the reality in many football-watching American homes, especially over the next few weeks. And lets not forget that NFL football is by far the most watched sport in America with an impressive 64% said to watch NFL football. Thats over 200 million Americans watching! For perspective, if the presidential administration wanted to push an idea to the general public they would reach more people by advertising with the NFL than they would by having the message spoken in a presidential State of the Union speech. The NFL is a massive and thus a coveted platform by the CIA without a doubt. For this reason we would be foolish to not focus our attention on this CIA platform to observe, predict, expose, and defuse the lies they have planned for our general public. With that said, lets examine some of those sure-fire lies well hear pumped through the NFL this weekend, and especially in the coming Super Bowl weekend. Lets examine these lies in the order of magnitude starting from the smallest to the greatest lies. 6 You Need to Watch More TV Over the next couple of NFL weeks leading to the end of the season, the NFL will take money from Hollywood as producers promote their TV shows. The message? You need to watch more and more TV. The ads will come at the hypnotized NFL watchers, one after another, telling them what shows they need to watch for their lives to have more meaning and excitement. These ads, suggesting the watching of more and more TV shows, work perfect with the overall globalist plans. There is, after all, no way that their long-term plans for global domination will work unless people are continuously UN-aware of the global political scene. And there is no greater way to keep people unaware than to keep them entertained with meaningless and pacifying distractions. At this time of the year, with NFL football winding down, Hollywood producers are desperately trying to pull you into their hypnosis to get you to watch their shows and (like a drug) get you hooked on them. The ads will be cleverly put together with quick headline shots, compelling sound tracks and intriguing visuals, snappy actor dialogues and editing trickery, all designed to pull you in. Sadly, like ready sheep, millions of NFL TV watchers will be lured by these ads and commercials into thinking they are missing out on life if they dont watch these shows. All of this is just the tip of the iceberg of deception which we will see over the next few weekends. 5 U.S. Military = Heroes The next biggest lie we will see pushed through the NFL is the meme that claims that U.S. military men and women are somehow heroes that deserve to be worshiped and admired for what they do. Nothing could be further from the truth. As I wrote about in an article several months back, U.S. military share no characteristics consistent with the definition of hero, or for that matter (as discussed previously) with the definition of Character, Honor, or Honorable. As I discussed previously, one could argue that some of them show courage but this courage is only being applied in the same way that one could say that members of ISIS or Al Qaeda ALSO show courage by simply being part of those organizations. Courage alone is no reason to honor or worship someone in the U.S. Military. One MUST show honor and character, for without these virtues one cannot be considered a hero. Despite that the lower ranking members of the U.S. military are lied to repeatedly by their leaders to keep them in line, the government and military will spend lots of money over the next few weeks to tell you that they are heroes. Despite the fact that the military obedient sheep are trained not to question their mission or ask questions, but instead to blindly follow their leaders, even if the mission they are in is dishonorable, NFL fans will be lied to and told that they are unquestionably heroes. Never once will NFL fans be reminded that Henry Kissinger himself said that U.S. military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy. Instead these dumb stupid animals will be paraded as heroes instead of people who likely MAY have meant well when they joined but are now being lied to in every single thing that they do. 4 Donate to Cancer Charities $$ The NFL hype tends to bring out the call for money $$. NFL fans will be bombarded with charity calls for giving money to cancer. Despite the fact that no one ultimately knows where all the money goes, people will be lured into the almost religious call for shelling out money to one or several cancer foundations. This call for money will utilize sympathy and emotion to lure viewers into giving their money to these cancer organizations. Never once will the viewers be told that cancer is a multi-billion dollar scam industry that is designed to kill cancer victims not cure them, while making the industry billions $. Never once will viewers be told that government and the Medical Industrial Complex themselves have persecuted individuals who have cured their own patients of cancer. NFL hypnotized TV watchers will be told that cancer is a giant that has no cure unless they give their money to these foundations. The Western Medical Industrial Complex will take full advantage of this special time of the year to reassert their lies and deception on Americans that cancer is fought with pink ribbons, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a knife. The Western caveman approach to cancer will be sold to the American public as science. The same system which treats cancer as if it is a disease that must be smashed out with a hammer instead of seeing cancer for what it is a symptom of an underlying disorder will suggest that if you give money to cancer, that will bring us closer to a cure. No mention will be made of eating right, about repairing your own immune system so that your immune system can get rid of the cancer for you. Instead, like smashing the check-engine light in a car to fix a problem in the engine, the cancer business will continue to lie to American NFL watchers with few ever seeing the lie coming or much less understanding what cancer and its true cure is all about. 3 Reinforcement of Previous False Flags There is no better time to reinforce false flags of the past than to push them through the NFL crowd toward the end of the season. We all saw the Sandy Hook children rolled out last year in the Super Bowl. Similarly, through the use of the sportscasters themselves as well as commercials, announcements, ceremonies, half-time specials, and pre-game presentations and more, well see specific false flags reinforced in the NFL platform. These clever techniques for reinforcing government false flags can come at any moment and have a powerful effect on the unaware viewer. Why? Because of the power of words that come out of the mouth of a trusted voice. They will often use the sports commentators and announcers to reinforce their false flags by having them make an announcement. Also, we may see a pre-game ceremony to honor the victims of the Charlie Hebdo shooting, etc. One of the great advantages the globalists have in this tactic is that these false flag reinforcements can come at any point, thus catching the viewer off guard. This is quietly one of the greatest lies NFL fans will be subjected to over the next few weeks. 2 America: Land of the Free Young NFL fans are more likely to go for this one. During the national anthem, and at any other point in the presentation, particularly during one of their pro-military ceremonies we will hear America being alluded to as the land of the free despite the fact that since 9/11 America is anything BUT the land of the free. We have seen the massive frightening expansion of the aggressive police state, destruction of civil liberties, expanded TSA abuse, DHSs expanding roll, militarization of the local police, expansion of the PATRIOT Act and the N.D.A.A. (National Defense Authorization Act), all of this in just the last 10-13 years. Despite all of this, sports arenas all over will continue to toss around the phrase land of the free. As someone who once worked in large sports stadiums I can assure you this deception will take place at no less than the stadium PA system level and will trickle down to other levels. Before and throughout the game, fans will be constantly subjected to announcements which are designed to keep the control systems paradigm intact. NFL fans will not only be periodically reminded that America is the land of the free but the word freedom and free will be tossed around regularly, often as mentioned above, in conjunction with the honoring of the military. This is just another lie to keep everyone, especially the military and those thinking of joining the military, believing they are fighting (or will be fighting) for something special instead of the truth, which is that they are just pawns in a global political scheme as admitted by Henry Kissinger. 1 Join the U.S. Military! This final lie is, I believe, the GREATEST lie of them all. This is the mother-ship lie that NFL fans will be told and are told throughout the year and especially in these final NFL weeks. The dangerous and evil military industrial complex will pull out all its ammunition knowing that statistics show that 3 out of every 4 males in America watch NFL football. They know they have the undivided attention of these young men and they would never consider blowing this opportunity to lie and deceive these innocent young men into joining the U.S. military. With the money the U.S. military spends on injecting their influence on Hollywood, their influence on the NFL is far beyond what we could imagine. Look for the commercials, one after another, telling your kids to join the military for an education, a steady job and travel experience. No mention will be made about the 22+ veterans per DAY who are committing suicide or the alarming suicide rate in the active military. You wont hear about how our military set up and murdered Pat Tillman for not agreeing with the U.S. illegal wars. And we wont hear about how soldiers are suffering from PTSD, alcohol and drug problems, psychiatric problems, and mental disorders at an alarming rate. Instead, NFL fans will be flat-out lied to and told that everything is great, and that joining the U.S. military is a decision of courage and honor. They will even spin commercials that make the military life seem fun and exciting instead of the reality the U.S. military men and women face in the real-world supporting globalist terrorism. Solutions Most if not all of these lies and deceptions that NFL fans will be subjected to in the next few weeks also take place throughout the year. Also there are many other topics that could have made the list. I have selected the topics which I see most often raised every year, but by no means is this list definitive or exclusive in any way. Either way, when its all said and done the year will be over and they will crank up to do it all again next NFL season. As truth seekers who are fully aware of these large platforms and how they are used by the globalist terrorists to sell their agenda and recruit men and women into their military, we need to find ways to defuse these government efforts. Last year we saw activist Mathew Mills interrupt the Super Bowl MVP conference to warn everyone that 9/11 was done by elements within our own government; and we should all be excited about this moment of truth that millions of people around the world were exposed to in one instance of time. Lets hope for another moment of truth to penetrate the consciousness of the masses. Let us all stay focused and be mindful of opportunities to spread truth, to expose their lies and deception, and let us share these warnings with others.

Skip the games And food, get a good history book and educate yourself on the evil ones tactics. Would your historical reading material include the Holy Bible? Its a good one for studying the evil ones tactics Well done, Bernie. The old conundrum applies though: only the awake are reading this. and those football zombies will resist any awakening. Also, tivo, or DVR is a great way to avoid commercials and b.s. (No sports fan here) but I watch a few shows, and my wife and I havent watched a commercial in literally years. Lastly, Bernie, as one writer to another, a little less hyperbole would be greeted well. And you do write so much, please be careful and pay a tad more mind to structural editing. I only mention as I know you seek excellence. Best to you and keep it up! YOU, Bernie Suarez, are the hero! Last week CBS mentioned that the Super Bowl should be a national holiday! A blood sport for a national holiday? When in Rome do as the Romans did as their civilization crumbled. Agreed ! Ive actually never watched a Super Bowl game or an NFL game from beginning to end. I dont find it entertaining period. Dont discount the never ending ads for: beer (keep em drunk), pharmaceuticals (keep em poisoned and wondering), boner medications (wont notice what were doing while banging!), automobile commercials (the economy is thriving, so buy a car), and insurance companies (for your new car or next disaster). Your loathing for those who serve, and have served, in the US Military is disgusting. I was an Army Ranger but he is correct!! People dont join to defend America, they join for college money and lack of opportunities. If the service members (veterans) did these things for free, their intent would be a little more noble, but they would still be fools like i was. Thanks for your honesty, Joe. I, too, joined for those same reasons long before we had the phrase poverty draft to describe it. Now that I know everything I didnt know then I would have endured anything NOT to join. I got home from a road trip yesterday during which I went through several towns engaged in the identical (obviously being sold from the same source) type of slick honor the vets campaign where names and faces of serving members were displayed on the light poles along the main drag. I felt sorry for the men and women whose poverty, ignorance, and lack of opportunity was being dragged in front of their community in that way. Dave, these fools who go off to fight for the rich bankers and politicians are NOT heroes. They are well meaning dupes. If they took the time to rationalize the whole scene, theyd be flabbergasted. They are the killing machines for an agenda not in the slightest bit in the best interests of the US and its future. They, too, will be killed in numbers, removing a base of brave, strong, idealistic youth just what the NWO has in mind. We have absolutely no business telling countries on the other side of the world how to behave until, of course they should approach our borders with skulduggery in mind. We certainly have no business defending Israel with OUR blood, when they just kill anybody on their way towards making Israel free of goyim. Seems my first response didnt make it past the libtard censor so Ill try again. Obviously you are not the bus driver but a passenger on a very short bus. Have you ever served in the US Military? Do you have the same opinion about law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs or is it just anybody that disagrees with you in general? We actually agree on some statements you make but your opinion of the actual front line troops is disgusting. When you speak of reading history are you talking of sources like Tomato Bubble? Dave, are you stupid? Do you read? Other military people are responding and so am I. What honor is there in killing people on the other side of the world for the bankster-gangsters who control the Military Industrial Complex? President Dwight Eisenhower even warned about this. This global tyranny is disgusting, there is no honor in it and the sucker U.S. Military fools are indoctrinated starting with all those commercials to join the military, to the recruiters lying to them about free education and benefits, to the drill instructors in boot camp. Its all brainwashing. That you still dont get this is a shame and this is the reason why we are in the situation we are in. Stubborn people like you who refuse to acknowledge the difference between what is RIGHT and what is WRONG. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I can tell Im much smarter then you as you seem to be an idiot. Ive wasted enough time on this post and still stand by my original statement that the writers loathing for those who serve, and have served, in the US Military is disgusting. ok good luck I think the people who tell the U.S. military what to do in South West Asia are disgusting. And any psychopath that joins up for the sole reason of killing deserves what ever happens to them on the battlefields of the countries that they are stealing. I agree the cnc is totally disgusting individual as well as his entire administration I 2nd and 3rd the comments of Joe and Tom below. I joined to get out of a small town with no opportunity and turned it into the biggest party I have ever attended. Now if you think that is honorable or eligible for the title hero then that is your prerogative but even Pat Tillman recognized the lie albeit too late to retain his life. Had to stop reading when it was assumed that Sandy Hook was a false flag operation. This is called poisoning the well (of evidence based conspiracy theories like JFK/MLK/RFK and 9/11) and this benefits only those with something to hide. Conspiracies are real; false flags operations are real, and the way to have them relegated to the ash heap of history is to conflate them with every lunatic theory ever promoted. It was the CIA that invented this poison the well model, since they, at core, operate basically as a conspiracy and false flag agency. If you want to marginalize valid conspiracy allegations, just do as the CIA wants you to do and poison the well. When I see this poisoning take place, I stop drinking. You are wrong and should take a closer look at Sandy Hook. It WAS a true conspiracy / false flag operation if there ever was one. No question about it. None! Craig, I have taken a close look and this is another poison the well promotion to make legitimate conspiracy allegations look weak. You present no evidence and I have looked at the alleged evidene: as a lifelong skeptic,I say: this doesnt cut it. There are many questions, including motive. If the motive was gun law reform, why should one more mass shooting, after hundreds, make any difference? You present no evidence so your claim can be dismissed out of hand. The evidence is far too voluminous to be appropriate for inclusion in an online comment such as Craigs. If you want to find it, you will; if you dont, putting it here wont do any good. However, I would recommend that you read an excellent essay at Washingtons Blog titled Why the Bad Guys Keep Winning and see if your thinking habits fit any of whats being discussed there. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2014/12/bad-guys-winning.html Are you aware that the population of Newtown in 2012 was under 2,000. http://www.city-data.com/city/Newtown-Connecticut.html In addition, Noah Pozner, one of the apparent Sandy Hook victims, died again in Pakistan. There is now a webpage where people can report so called hoaxers. I have links that show this webpage is owned by Leonard Pozner, Noah`s father. You can`t make this stuff up. You want evidence, dale? Have at it (but just be sure to watch all three videos so the truth can really get through to that investigative mind of yours): Sandy Hook was staged false flag event. Don`t shoot the messenger, however you might be interested in taking the time to check this out. It certainly makes you think. Lets Talk ~ Sandy Hook ~ Shocking Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaTrNmMKkmY Watch this documentary video that seeks to learn the truth and end the speculation once and for all. A diverse group of independent journalists have come together to raise awareness of the issue and encourage the public to act. They all agree that this event has been and will continue to be of such historical significance that the true details must be revealed. What flavor do you prefer? You are one who refuses to see the events from all angles. You would rather follow the narrative from those in charge than do a little investigation yourself. NEVER ACCEPT THE STORY!! Always question. I have been a robust skeptic for 60 years with a world class education. I have been denouncing the officials narratives of the murders of JFK, MLK, and RFK for nearly 40 years. I doubted 9/11 from the beginning. I have denounced the Gulf of Tonkin conspiracy hoax over 40 years ago, the lies about Iraq in the First Gulf War, the lies about Afghanistan in 2001, and the lies about Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine as they were told. I have looked at all the evidence available about Sandy Hook, and from my seasoned skeptical view, it looks most like a poison the well crock of shit, from the motive to the bits of evidence. I would suspect that my 60 years of skeptical independent views and my education and training in critical thinking, as well as my having been right on the fake narratives of the government, dwarf your experience. I always question and have since my early teens. I think you are exactly the kind of useful idiot the CIA invented the term conspiracy theory for, in order to use fake theories to poison the well. You have drunk the kool-aid, and your gullibility serves the CIA and those attempting to smear all conspiracy theories very well. You have presented no evidence, nor have you explained a plausible motive, since there have been hundreds of mass shootings, why would one more be the tipping point to promote gun law reform. It does not add up to this experienced veteran of the conspiracy wars. I know you believe what you believebut its ultimate result is to poison the well. dear dale ruff, WATCH: We Need To Talk About Sandy Hook Seriously dude, WAKE UP!! America is the most dangerous country for Americans. Seems Bernie is the one with a disorderyou do know that E. T. is not realright!? What a buffoon!! The ones who will be watching the super dud wont be reading this I remember a VERY good speech by a popular radio personality- Paul Harvey. He did a wonderful program on his radio show called, If I were the Devil. Step by step Paul described exactly what he would do if he were the devil, how he would do it and the probably outcome. PERFECT. Every step is and was followed, promoted, accomplished, and done. So, here we are decades later EXACTLY where Paul said we would be if we listened to this insane recipe for taking down the once proud and powerful United States of America. I think you can find it on you tube. If not- just google it. And get ready to be stunned at his accuracy. Its the same song.innumerable verse. Could be better, but its gonna be worse Quote: Well know our disinformation campaign is complete when, absolutely everything the American people believe is false. William Casey Dir. of CIA I think that pretty well says it all. If one were to take the time to go to a National Cemetery, and one were to stand almost in the middle, and were alone while doing it, one just might as they spent time looking in each direction of said cemetery, be overcome with the amount of blood sacrifice that was done in the name of freedom, but with proper thinking would soon realize it was done by a few to fatten their pocket books, and to further a terrible agenda. Many things are done on purpose to ensure that the military will have enough new recruits to fight these illegal wars, one example is the unemployment rate must never get so low that no one will need a job in the fighting forces. Another is higher education and the expense, and forced belief its a must have or your a failure, most will go in to get a higher education or a job skill for later. Blind patriotism is another cancer that enables the forces to maintain a constant flow of new recruits, and this plan should not need any explanation. Almost every war has been designed, is profitable to those that design them, and is used to further an agenda, the wars are also used as a blood sacrifice to the evil they worship and the leader of those that have sold their souls. 
2	Veterans Are Calling For Michelle Obamas Head After She Did THIS American Sniper, Clint Eastwoods box office hit based on the story of American hero Chris Kyle, was an instant hit for many reasons, and its also been the source of immense controversy. In fact, one could argue that the reason the film received so much media attention was because it started a conversation among military veterans regarding the treatment they receive after war. This sparked a chain of celebrities, politicians and public figures weighing in with their own opinions on the subject. People generally see veterans one of two wayseither the broken, downtrodden vet who is homeless or on drugs or has such severe PTSD that he cant even function, Michelle stated at a Got Your 6 event. Or the saintly hero who lives with such courage and moral clarity that the only thing the rest of us can do is shower him with awe and amazement. And of course, its always a he. We sort of forget about the 1.5 million women veterans who have served in uniform. What do you think of Michelles comment? Was she taking a stab at the film? Do you support Eastwood and his portrayal of the American Sniper story?

The movement to end the sale of the Confederate Flag came when the mother of Assemblyman Isadore Hall saw a replica of Confederate currency being sold at the state Capitols gift shop. Its a symbol in history directly linked to the enslavement, torture, and murder of millions of Americans, Hall was quotes saying, The state of California should not be in the business of promoting hate towards others. Those opposed to the action claim that they are not defending the symbolism of the Confederate flag, but rather the principle of free speech. Lets not forget, also, that censoring history can be a very dangerous thing. What do you think?

1	Selecting responses that did not accurately reflect his personality and were instead intended solely to influence the tests outcome, local man Paul Acevedo, 32, blatantly gamed an entertainment websites Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Are You? quiz Friday in order to be equated to Raphael, multiple sources confirmed. If you look at the answers he gave on every question, its so obvious Paul was gunning for Raphael the entire time, said onlooker Isaac Nichols, who noted that Acevedo deliberately avoided the options natural leader, deep thinker, and party animal on the question How would you describe yourself? in favor of choosing born rebel. The quiz asked him how he would react to a Foot Soldier attack, and he chose with a sarcastic quip and a ninja chop right to the gut. He had to have been thinking Raphael for that. And then when it asked him for his favorite color, he went straight for red. I mean, come on. In further support of his theory, Nichols noted that he had observed a frustrated Acevedo take the test two other times earlier in the day.

1	Funyuns, the world leader in artificial onion-ring-flavored and -shaped snack-food items, continues to enjoy an 'overwhelming sales lead' over competing brand Responsibilityuns, the trade publication Impulse Purchase Quarterly reported Monday. The unpopular product. Responsibilityuns, launched last May in a bold attempt to challenge Funyuns' dominance of the faux-onion-ring snack market, have done 'little to no damage' to its rival's sales through the first quarter of 2000. 'I just don't understand what went wrong,' said James Connell, CEO of Delayed Gratification Foods, the Dallas-based maker of the sober, salted snack. 'Everybody knows that responsibility and self-reliance are virtues which, with patience and persistence, bring rewards far greater than the fleeting pleasure of instant gratification. And, frankly, that is all our competitor has to offer. We felt sure that customers would respond to our product's image of hard work and long-term stability.' Responsibilityuns is not the only Delayed Gratification product to fail to connect with consumers. Also faring poorly are Proprie-Teez Fruit Chews, touted as 'a blast of fruit flavor that maintains a basic level of decorum at all times'; Homework-First Nut Clusters, 'the candy you only enjoy after buckling down and investing in your education and future'; and, perhaps most disastrously, Reputables, the 'pre-wrapped snak-pak for churchgoing folk with a position of good social standing to maintain... in the home, the workplace, and the community at large.' Seeking to appeal to consumers' respect for time-honored values, the products stress thrift, discipline, and a strong sense of personal obligation over what Connell calls the 'me first' sensibilities currently dominating the snack-food marketplace. According to Delayed Gratification vice-president of marketing Anthony Fontaine, it was hoped that the emphasis placed on diligence, proper conduct, and 'a little magic extra ingredient known as moral fiber' would win the company's products long-term brand loyalty among customers who 'were raised right by honest, hard-working taxpayers.' A new responsibility-themed snack-food item. Fontaine explained the company's marketing strategy. 'When entering a highly competitive market, it's important to seek out and exploit the weaknesses in your competitors' thinking,' Fontaine said. 'When looking into the feasibility of breaking into the snack-product field, we noticed a tendency among other brands to stress excess and self-indulgence over the sort of gumption and tenacity that delivers real results over the long haul. Our entire sales strategy was designed to exploit that weakness.' Despite its apparent logic, Delayed Gratification's strategy appears to have backfired. In recent independent focus-group tests of the new product Rote Memorization Doodles, not only did a majority of consumers not respond well, but they actually went out of their way to avoid them. In many cases, those tested opted to leave the premises of the store entirely rather than remain in the presence of a point-of-purchase display stand for the product. In a subsequent study, respondents to consumer surveys designed to pinpoint the flaws in Delayed Gratification's marketing strategy reported they would 'rather eat rocks' than purchase a bag of Auto-Safety-Reminder Cakes. Further, several respondents stated that 'there's no reason to waste money on this [box of Insurance Bills Choco Crunches],' claiming that 'just looking at the box puts me in a bad mood.' Delayed Gratification, however, has no plans to alter its approach in the face of poor sales. 'It is downright foolish for people to expect to always get everything they want right now, before first earning their reward through the endurance of significant setbacks,' said Connell, munching on a bag of Character-Building Puffs. 'Yet, somehow, it appears that many of today's snack-food consumers are looking for some sort of 'quick-fix' solution when they walk into a convenience store. Well, our company is above such childish impatience.' Said Fontaine: 'The hedonistic party atmosphere endemic to so much of what passes for snack-food-brand identity today might offer consumers a moment of fleeting satisfaction, but once that initial sugar rush has faded, where does that leave them? At Delayed Gratification Foods, we offer customers something better: stability and security well into their retirement years.' 'Sales will pick up in time,' Fontaine continued. 'We may not be shooting up the charts just yet, but slow and steady wins the race.' 
2	Is Donald Trump Getting Megyn Kelly Fired? One of the most talked about moments in the presidential race so far has been the heated interaction that took place between Donald Trump and Fox News host Megyn Kelly. Now, some are speculating that Trump may have cost Kelly her job. Following the debate, Kelly was accused of being too harsh to Trump. As a result, Fox News owner Roger Ailes called Trump and promised that he would be treated fair. Shortly thereafter, Kelly made a suspicious announcement that she would be taking some time off. Ill be taking the next week and a half spending some time with my husband and kids, trying to relax, she told viewers. Immediately, social media users erupted with comments that Kellys departure was most likely tied to her interaction with the presidential hopeful and legendary businessman. Im not nave. This is almost certainly related to Roger Ailes and Donald Trump one Twitter user commented. What do you think? Is Kelly taking heat for her interactions with Trump? Did she cross the line? 
2	Obama Caught Threatening U.S. Soldiers To Keep Quiet Recently, United States soldiers have been speaking out against the Obama administration who have allegedly been intimidating them into keeping silent on recent scandals. According to reports, soldiers who served with Bergdahl have been threatened, and officials are suggesting that Bergdahls platoon was full of liars. Naturally, one can only assume that the administration is just trying to justify their actions, rather than admitting the trouble they went through to rescue a deserter. Now, the Huffington Post and Fox News have been working together to reveal the information that has been through great lengths to be kept secret. Together, the two media outlets uncovered that the White House, in concert with the State Department and Defense Department, was orchestrating a campaign of threats and intimidations not only against infantrymen and the military men in Afghanistan at the time in 2009, but also against military officers and Pentagon officers to keep silent about what really happened, there. Huffington Post reporter Bill Robinson has claimed that while there are rumors that Bergdahl was a deserter, the truth is that he was an out and out traitor. What do you think? Are President Obamas actions disgusting?

The 62-year-old Bush was reportedly discovered lying unresponsive in his bed by first lady Laura Bush, a gentle smile still on his lips. 'It was as though he knew it was his time to go,' said longtime family physician Dr. Harold Ditmas, who pronounced the president dead of natural causes at 7:24 a.m. Plans for Bush's funeral have been postponed indefinitely following an unexpected incident in which the president's corpse was sucked through an Air Force One jet engine. 
2	Actor Rob Lowe Takes Huge Stand For Second Amendment Against CNN Host [VIDEO] Rob Lowe made a guest appearance on CNNs Piers Morgan Live to talk about gun control. This is from three years ago, but worth bringing back with the higher than ever push for gun control. Look, I own guns, Lowe said. He mentioned he owned 3 guns, but no assault weapons. He then explained that he believes that our resources should be focused on improving mental health, parenting, personal responsibility, rather than taking away our arms. Do you agree with actor Rob Lowe? 
1	With local organizers and attendees hailing the event as a major success, the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh wrapped up its 10th annual fashion week Friday, a star-studded international showcase of the latest trends during which 57 women were pelted to death by stones. The glamorous high-fashion event, which debuted the fall couture collections of Calvin Klein, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Anna Sui among others, took place over seven days in the citys upscale Olaya district and claimed the lives of dozens of models, assistants, and designers, as well as 19 female audience members whose outfits exposed parts of their bodies other than their eyes or hands. Riyadh Fashion Week is the place to be to check out the newest styles and kill the women wearing them, said local fruit seller Salman Awad, who claimed that this was his favorite of the six Fashion Weeks hes attended, as he was able to take out the eye of a model wearing a brocade tunic at Tuesdays Vivienne Tam show. My friends and I made sure to line up outside the tents before dawn to get good seats close to the front. Its a lot easier to hit them in the head that way. Im already starting to save up my rocks for next years Fashion Week, Awad added. I cant wait. Fashion Week organizers confirmed that this years turnout was the highest in the events history, attracting thousands of eager stone-wielding visitors from all over the Middle East. According to event staff, every runway show was standing room only, with fashion industry elites and celebrities rubbing elbows at top designers collection debuts and glitzy brand-sponsored after-parties alongside Saudi locals demanding to know which, if any, of the women had received permission to be there from either their husbands or a male member of their family. This years event kicked off last Saturday with a chic multi-designer exhibition in the plush Kingdom Centre, during which audience members were reportedly stirred into a frenzy of anticipation even before the show began by large-screen projections of the hottest current fashion trends in Paris and Milan. Sources described the show as a stunning spectacle, with enthusiastic crowd members bombarding models one by one as they came out onto the catwalk, leaving a growing mound of bloodied female bodies and high-end custom-fitted gowns and accessories on stage. In addition to the stonings, sources confirmed that during a disco-themed show Wednesday night featuring Jay Godfreys 2014 resort-wear line, attendees ran out of projectiles and were forced to rush the stage and strangle several models to death with their own $1,100 ruched cowl-neck tops, all while renowned DJ Geordon Nicol spun a live dance music set. From where I was sitting, I had a great view of Oscar de la Renta getting beheaded just a few rows in front of me, said first-time Fashion Week visitor Faisal Qureshi. When I bought my ticket I was only planning to hurl rocks at the models on the runway, but once everybody started chanting Death to Western infidels, I ended up joining in on the melee and pummeling several hairstylists and makeup artists who looked like homosexuals. It was the best fashion show Ive ever been to, he continued. I got to personally hold down and help castrate three sodomites. While each year at least five or six women are stoned to death at Riyadh Fashion Week, organizers confirmed that this was by far the largest number killed since 2009, when 21 women modeling the DKNY summer line had their skulls bashed in with rocks as they changed backstage. Those who survived the initial bludgeoning and made it out to model that years high-waisted halter bikinis were reportedly met by a frenzied audience that threw cups of acid on their faces and bodies. However, organizers say the events popularity has grown to such an extent that they are thinking of expanding the number of shows in the future. In Saudi Arabia, theres a new generation of fashion-conscious citizens who want to stone the next big thing, said Riyadh Fashion Week executive director Hakim Moghadam. Whether its heaving rocks at the new Zac Posen ready-to-wear collection, or giving hundreds of lashes to anyone sporting BCBGMAXAZRIA, they want to be a part of the scene. And we want to let everyone across the Kingdom know that they dont have to travel to London or New York, he continued. They can slaughter the immodest in their own backyard, right here in Riyadh. 
2	Family Says They Would Rather Be Fat And Live Off Benefits Than Thin And Work According to recent reports, Janice Manzur (44) and her 25-year-old daughter Amber claim that they are proud to be overweight, because it has prevented them from having to work. The pair, who together weight 603 pounds, claim that their health issues have made it difficult to be mobile. Instead, they have been living off of benefits from the British government. Prior to leaving work in 2006 for health issues, Janice was working at a call center. Amber, who is a mother as well, has been on disability since she left her security job. Now, she and her daughter collect about $51,100 a year in benefits. Ive always been big and Im too fat to work, so I have a genuine disability. I should be miserable but Im happy, claims Janice, who says that she and her daughter have no plans to diet. I know this is the way Im meant to be. People shouldnt judge me or my mom for how big we are because its in our genes, Amber told reporters. I think its a total exploitation of the benefits system, claims Tam Fry of the National Obesity Forum. Im at a loss for words. There must be a benefits system available to help those people who required assistance and there are many of themBut when it is handed to a family who are happy to exploit it to the degree of [$51,700] a year and are refusing to diet, the system has gone mad. What do you think of the pair? 
2	Senate Votes To Deny Obamas Budget Plan A few weeks ago, President Obama introduced his budget plan for the new fiscal year to Congress. Now, the Senate just gave him some bad news. Obamas plan is flawed at best and delusional at worst. It proposes that we increase taxes and spending, but ignore the annual budget deficit that contributes to our extreme national debt. If history has anything to say about it, President Obama is not likely to be swayed by Congress decision. As weve seen in the past, Obama has little respect and is willing to go around formal process in order to get his way. Weve got little doubt that Obama will continue to move forward with his own plans and tax hardworking Americans as much as possible. Still, it should be noted just how strong the opposition to his proposal was; the Senate voted against it 98 to 1. The single supporter of the motion was Tom Carper, a Democrat from Delaware. Since 2011, its only gotten two votes for the presidents proposed budget, 1,023 votes against, Texas Snator John Cornyn told reporters. What do you think? Is Obama an embarrassment to the American people? 
1	LOS ANGELESEvent organizers and promoters are as yet unable to explain to the satisfaction of law-enforcement officials how Ricky Creston, a 10-year-old Down syndrome sufferer, was put in a position that lead to his death on Tuesday, the final day of events at the first-ever Special X-Games. 'Creston, who was competing in the Best Freestyle Motocross Trick event, evidently panicked and began flailing his arms in response to the motorcycle's loud noise, losing control of the Honda CRF230 to which he had been strapped, and died shortly after in a collision with another special athlete,' LAPD officials announced yesterday. 'Special X-Games organizers apparently thought they had taken every precaution possible, outfitting Creston with a life jacket in case he careened into the nearby wakeboarding pool, but failed to take into account the proximity of the skateboarding half-pipe.' Creston also critically injured a developmentally disabled boy who, apparently deafened by the crowd and the Limp Bizkit music blaring through the arena speakers, was sitting in the bottom of the half-pipe and happily spinning the wheels of his skateboard during the Men's Big Air event. 'Although Ricky is gone, his extreme legacy will live on forever, unlike our partnership with Mountain Dew,' said event organizer Steve Wynlan, adding that all they wanted was to show the special athletes that they could still have a rad lifestyle. A spokesman for the LAPD stated that, although he had seen youth culture exploited before, the Special X-Games were nearly as bad as the Vans Warped Tour. 
2	Protesters Burn The American Flag On Fourth Of July In Support Of Illegal Aliens This weekend during the Fourth of July, a group of Murrieta, CA residents stood to protect their town from busloads of illegal immigrants, and to protest the lack of action that has been taking place by the government. Luckily, their presence was a success, and buses were diverted to another location. 
1	Private investigator Max McShane encountered a familiar sight Monday, entering his Bourbon Street office to find his file cabinets overturned, his spare necktie slung across a blade of a still-rotating ceiling fan, and his black, rotary-dial phone buzzing off the hook. 'I just cleaned up this place from the last ransacking,' McShane said. 'Someone obviously wants me off the King murder case. Unless last Friday's ransacking was to scare me off the King case. Then this is probably about the Adams diamond theft.' 
2	Donald Trumps Plan For Your Taxes Is Exactly Why You Want To Vote For Him In his book Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again, released in 2011, Donald Trump laid out a genius plan for changing Americas tax code. The plan, called the 1-5-10-15 income tax plan is his simple proposal for fixing our current system. The plan is as follows: $30,000 or less will pay 1% in income taxes Its clear and fair, Trump wrote in the book. Best of all, it can be filled out on the back of a postcard and will save Americans big bucks on accountants and massive amounts of time wasted attempting to decipher the tax code. Imagine your paycheck was 40 percent higher than it currently is, Trump wrote. What could you do with 40 percent more wealth? How many jobs and opportunities for others could you create? The longer you really think about it, the madder you will get. Trump went on to explain that as a businessman, Trump can clearly see that trillions of dollars are being wasted in America each year. What do you think of Trumps proposal? 
2	Kanye West Demands That White Publications No Longer Make Comments On Black Music The American public is no stranger to Kanye Wests Twitter rants, but this most recent one tops the list. Recently, Kanye took to social media to ask Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times to not comment on black music anymore. He then went on to call Puff Daddy the most important cultural figure in my life and claimed that the system is designed for colored people to fail and one of our only voices is music. My album will never never never be on Apple, he continued. And it will never be for saleYou can only get it on Tidal. He then begged his followers to sign up for Tidal. Perhaps the oddest part about this whole rant is that it happened right before the Grammys, where Kanye was nominated for four awards, including Best Album. What do you think of Kanyes approach to social media? 
3	Will Obama Doom Himself As A War Criminal?Paul Craig Roberts In response, the socialist president of France, Hollande, who lacks French support for Frances participation in a US/Israeli orchestrated military attack on Syria, has crawled back off the limb, saying that, while everything is still on the table, he has to see some evidence first. As Cameron and Obama have made clear, there is no evidence. Even US intelligence has declared that there is no conclusive evidence that Assad used chemical weapons or even has control over the weapons. Even the US puppet government in Canada has disavowed participating in the Obama/Israeli war crime. This leaves Obama with support only from Turkey and Israel. Recently, the Turkish government shot down in the streets more of its own peoplepeaceful protesters, not imported mercenaries trying to overthrow the Turkish governmentthan were killed in the alleged use of chemical weapons by Assad. As the entire world is aware, the Israeli government has been committing crimes against the people in Palestine for decades. A distinguished Jewish jurist concluded in an official report that the Israeli government committed war crimes in its attack on the civilian population of Gaza. If Obama now strikes Syria, when he has no cover from the UN, or from NATO, or from the American people, or from Congress, having ignored the House and Senate, Obama will stand before the entire world, starkly, as a War Criminal. Unless the world is prepared to flush international law, arrest orders for the War Criminal will have to come from the Hague. Obama will have to be handed over and put on trial. He will have no more leg to stand on than did the Nazis. The evil neocons are telling Obama that he must prove that he is a man and go it alone. If Obama does, he will prove that he is a War Criminal. This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts new website Institute For Political Economy.

3	Worldwide Unemployment Crisis: There Are 93 Million Unemployed Workers In G20 NationsMichael Snyder First of all, the giant corporations that now totally dominate the global economy have figured out that they can make a lot more money by replacing expensive workers that live in major industrialized nations with workers that live in nations where it is legal to pay slave labor wages. So it isnt really a huge mystery why there is such a huge problem with unemployment in the Western world. If you were running a giant corporation, why would you want to hire workers that will cost you 10 to 20 times as much as other workers? A worker is a worker, and over the past decade we have seen a massive movement of jobs to countries where labor is cheaper. In addition, large corporations are also trying to completely eliminate as many jobs as they can by using technology. If a corporation can get a computer or a machine or a robot to do a task more cheaply than a human worker can do it, then why would that corporation want to continue to rely on human labor? And of course we have seen an overall weakening of the economies of the Western world in recent years as well. This has been particularly true in the United States. As these long-term trends intensify, the worldwide unemployment crisis is going to get even worse. In fact, the director general of the International Labor Organization is fully convinced that unemployment is going to continue to rise in G20 nations. Just check out what he toldCNBC on Friday Major industrialized nations all over the planet are no longer able to produce enough jobs for their people. In many wealthy nations the unemployment rate has already risen well up into double digits. Just consider the following numbers -The unemployment rate is above 25 percent in South Africa. -The unemployment rate in France recently hit a 15-year high. -The unemployment rate in Italy is up to 12.2 percent, which is the highest in 35 years. -The unemployment rate in the eurozone as a whole is up to an all-time high of 12.2 percent. -The unemployment rate in Poland is 13.2 percent. -The unemployment rate in Ireland is now 13.6 percent. -The unemployment rate in Portugal has rocketed up to 17.7 percent. -The unemployment rate in Greece is currently sitting at 26.9 percent and it is being projected that it will soon hit 30 percent. -The unemployment rate in Spain is even worse than in Greece. The unemployment rate in Spain is a staggering 27.2 percent. Sadly, it looks like things are not going to be getting better any time soon. In fact, global business confidence is now the lowest that it has been since the last recession. So what about the United States? Well, it is true that our official numbers do not look quite as bad as much of the rest of the world. But the official unemployment rate in the U.S. has been at 7.5 percent or higher for 54 months in a row. That is the longest stretch in U.S. history. But at least it is not in double digits yet. Things could be worse. However, that does not mean that we are doing well either. The mainstream media is attempting to convince us that everything is just fine because the unemployment rate has been going down, but when you take a deeper look at the numbers that is not exactly an accurate assessment of our situation. Asthe New York Times recently pointed out, the decline in the unemployment rate can almost entirely be accounted for by a decline in the labor participation rate To get a more accurate picture of what is really happening with employment in America, you need to look at the employment-population ratio. It is a measurement of the percentage of the working age population that is actually working. As you can see, the percentage of working age Americans that actually have a job has been declining since the year 2000 When the mainstream media tells you that the employment numbers for June were great, that is not being honest. The truth is that the unemployment rate rose in 28 U.S. states and it only declined in 11 states during June, and as I mentionedyesterday, the U.S. economy actually lost 240,000 full-time jobs last month. So no, things are not getting better, and the unemployment problems in the United States and in Europe are likely going to continue to get worse in the years ahead. That is very bad news for most of us, because the only thing that most of us have to offer in the marketplace is our labor. If the value that is placed on our labor is continually declining, then that puts us in a very difficult position. It is almost as if we have all been drafted to play a very twisted game of musical chairs. Each time the music stops, more chairs (jobs) are being pulled out of the game. You might be doing okay for the moment, but what is going to happen when the music suddenly stops one day and your chair gets pulled out of the game? That is something that you might want to start thinking about. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	Rushing into the offices of Bird & Webb Publishing and aiming his semiautomatic rifle at a swath of empty cubicles, disgruntled office manager Harrold Schoepke was surprised Monday to find that his coworkers had not yet returned from their lunch break. 'Huh, I wonder where everyone is,' said the emotionally disturbed publishing professional, bringing the high-powered assault weapon down from eye-level and slowly snapping the safety back on. 'Definitely thought they'd be back from that sandwich place by now.' [slideshow:99310:left] 'I mean, lunch was more than an hour ago,' Schoepke added as he scanned a floor plan posted near the elevator for any and all available exit routes. 'It's not like I don't have things I need to be doing.' Schoepke, who has grown increasingly enraged over a series of perceived injustices, indignities, and personal slights in the workplace, claimed that he had planned to begin Monday's office shooting at precisely 2 p.m. However, by 2:15 p.m., not a single one of the roughly two dozen or so employees he had planned to gun down had returned from lunch. 'This is just like the time I arranged that meeting with our sales reps,' said Schoepke, calmly loading an additional six slugs into his rifle. 'I bet Janet [Greenblatt] is running off to the bank right about now, and Peter [Harrison] is no doubt taking his sweet time smoking downstairs.' 'Just you watch. They'll probably stroll in at around half-past two and look all shocked and surprised when they see me waiting for them,' Schoepke continued. 'Honestly, sometimes it feels like I'm the only one around here with any professionalism left.' With his coworkers still nowhere to be found and his aimless pacing not accomplishing anything, the sociopathic 35-year-old decided to make the most of the unscheduled delay. Over the next 20 minutes, Schoepke reportedly brewed a fresh cup of coffee, tidied up the copy machine area, stopped into the men's room to practice his chilling final message, sent off a couple of work-related e-mails, and then returned to the office break room where he had accidentally left his rifle behind. 'If it weren't for me, absolutely nothing would get done around this place,' Schoepke said as he smashed the office's central telephone switchboard and pushed over a bookcase to bar access to the fire escape. 'Initiativethat's what these people lack. They might see a problem, but they never stop and think of a way they can solve it. They don't spend night after night considering all the options, lying awake in their beds, as the latest burning humiliation plays over and over again in their heads.' 'Especially not Linda Patterson,' Schoepke continued. 'Especially not little Miss I-don't-think-of-you-in-that-way Linda Patterson.' According to the unstable office manager, his shooting spree has thus far been largely uneventful, save for a brief moment of excitement during which Schoepke believed his coworkers had finally returned from lunch, and he rushed to the front door only to have to sign for a delivery package. 'I should've e-mailed them ahead of time and told them we were having drinks in the conference room to celebrate some new book or something,' Schoepke said. 'I mean, it's ridiculous. Shooting up your coworkers in a blind and violent rage shouldn't have to be this hard.' Schoepke reportedly spent the next 13 minutes quietly muttering to himself about how he would start off with editorial director Bob Humpreys, who would probably 'nitpick' every little thing from the way he held the rifle to his slight hesitation before pulling the trigger. Schoepke also smiled to himself upon realizing that copy editor Paul Sturges would most likely find some way to claim that the successful office shooting was all his idea. 'I'm sure those backstabbers will find something wrong with the way I riddle their bodies with bullets,' Schoepke said. 'Heck, I'll probably leave here feeling like this whole stupid mess was somehow my fault.' At press time, workers in buildings adjacent to Bird & Webb Publishing reported hearing a single, solitary gunshot. 
1	According to a study published Wednesday by the Institute for Womens Policy Research, female interns earn just three-quarters of the college credit that male interns receive for the same work. Despite completing the same photocopying, collating, and other routine internship tasks as their male counterparts, women received an average of 2.25 credits, compared with mens average of 3.0, read the report, which found that the credit discrepancy existed across a variety of geographical regions and industries. There definitely seems to be a credit ceiling for women. We consistently found that even women who fetched coffee, retrieved files, or ordered printer toner better than males in similar positions were nonetheless unable to advance beyond the 75-percent limit. The study also concluded, however, that the sexual harassment gap between male and female interns had narrowed notably in recent years, with female interns now receiving 95 percent of improper sexual advances, down some 4 percent from previous studies. 
3	The FBI Has 80,000 Documents on Saudi Ties to 9/11 It Tried to SuppressBy Carey Wedler But according to a new report based on years of investigative journalism, it turns out there are far more than 28 classified pages on Saudi Arabia and 9/11 there are 80,000 kept secret by the FBI. And though not all 80,000 are expected to concern the Saudi family and the FBI insists their investigation of the documents came up empty-handed journalists, at least one lawmaker, and heavily-redacted documents suggest otherwise. As the Daily Beast reported, the discovery of the 80,000 pages came when Irish investigative journalists Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan were contacted by an unnamed counterterrorism official in 2011. The reporters were preparing to publish a book on the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks and were told by the source that a Saudi family who had been living in Sarasota, Florida, prior to the attacks had connections to the attackers. Specifically, they were linked to Mohamed Atta, the Egyptian terrorist widely recognized as the ringleader of the attacks. The unnamed officials tip conflicted squarely with the FBIs prior conclusions on that family. Abdulazzi al-Hiijjii, his wife Anoud, and their three small children lived in an upscale Sarasota community, along with Anouds father, Esam Ghazzawi, a financier and interior designer, who owned the home, and Ghazzawais American-born wife. The FBI had received multiple calls from the familys neighbors expressing concerns over erratic behavior. Two weeks before 9/11, they left the house in a huge hurry, leaving dirty diapers and toys strewn about, a fully stocked refrigerator, and three cars in the driveway. Though the FBI opened an investigation in April 2002, it still insists it never found any significant connection between the family and Atta. The agency acknowledged they had suspected a connection, but not until after the Tampa field office opened an investigation that claimed to find numerous connections between the family and the 9/11 hijackers, the Daily Beast explained. The 80,000 classified pages in question stemmed from that investigation. The FBI says the bureaus own agents did initially suspect the family was linked to some of the hijackers. But on further scrutiny, those connections proved unfounded, officials now say. But Summers and Swan contacted Dan Christensen, a veteran Florida reporter, and together they published an expos on these connections in Sarasota in September 2011. As they reported, following the 9/11 attacks: [L]aw enforcement agents not only discovered the home was visited by vehicles used by the hijackers, but phone calls were linked between the home and those who carried out the death flights including leader Mohamed Atta in discoveries never before revealed to the public. They were also never revealed to lawmakers. The 2011 story caught the attention of Bob Graham, a Florida Democrat who has since led the campaign to release the 28 pages on the Saudi connection, which are said to contain information showing Saudi government officials were involved in orchestrating the attack. At the time, he said the journalists had open[ed] the door to a new chapter of investigation as to the depth of the Saudi role in 9/11. Graham attempted to view some of the documents, and told the Daily Beast (for a forthcoming article) they did show a connection between the family and three hijackers. He was soon after confronted by then-deputy director of the FBI, Sean Joyce. According to Graham, he said, Basically everything about 9/11 was known and I was wasting my time and I should get a life. Christensen filed a Freedom of Information Act request in the hopes of either confirming or refuting their original reporting. Thomas Julin, his lawyer, said the FBI initially denied having any records. When Graham said he was willing to testify he had seen some, the Department of Justice conveniently admitted to having 35 relevant pages. They released them, but they were heavily redacted. In spite of the overt censorship guarding that information, they reportedly still made clear the FBI had suspicions about the family and that they had found several connections between them and the hijackers. The pages also include the FBIs dismissals of those suspicions. U.S. District Court Judge William Zloch, who presided over the Freedom of Information case, was unconvinced and demanded the FBI conduct another search of its records. This time,the FBI found some additional responsive documents which it produced, Julin told the Daily Beast. But it also found 80,266 pages of material in the Tampa Field Office of the FBI which had been marked with the file number for the FBIs PENTTBOM investigation. PENTTBOM was the FBI term for its investigation into the 9/11 attacks. Though the New York Post had previously reported on these 80,000 pages, the DoJs small release of documents clarified suspicions. Zloch ordered the FBI to hand over all the documents in May 2014 and he is still going through them to determine which pages can be released. He has given no indication of when he will be finished. The Daily Beast explained Zlochs task is made all the more painstaking by the strict security rules governing review of classified documents, even for a sitting judge. The files are kept in a secure facility, and he can only remove a portion at a time. It remains unclear how many of the 80,000 pages pertain directly to the Tampa FBI field offices investigation of the family in Sarasota and their ties to the attackers. Though Christensen says hes ready to be proven wrong, he believes those files will reveal the underlying reasons for the FBIs early suspicions. As the Daily Beast laid out: The FBI, for instance, says that phone records searches showed no links to the house and the hijackers. Christensens confidential source says the opposite is true. If the FBI is right, Christensen asks, then why not just release the information and put the dispute to rest? The FBI has attempted to discredit the pages, claiming the agent who filed the first reports on the family and their potential connection to the hijackers was not a good writer and should not be taken as the last word, according to Graham. However, that agent was promoted shortly after 9/11, casting doubt on assertions they were incompetent. In a similar evasion of accountability, President Obama vowed to block a legislative effort to release the 28 pages amid pressure from the Saudi Arabian government, which threatened to remove $750 billion in American assets should the legislation pass. The president cited concerns that allowing families of 9/11 victims to sue a foreign government could, in turn, open the United States government up to prosecution, itself. The White House has since indicated it intends to release part of the 28 pages. Though Julin says the 28 pages likely arent linked to the Sarasota Saudi family, he hopes their eventual release might help Judge Zloch see the wider significance of the events in Sarasota and persuade him that some or all of the records have not been properly classified. Last week, a former member of the 9/11 commission said he believes six Saudi officials supported the 9/11 hijackers. John F. Lehmansaid Wednesday, There was an awful lot of participation by Saudi individuals in supporting the hijackers, and some of those people worked in the Saudi government, he said. Our report should never have been read as an exoneration of Saudi Arabia. The FBIs trove of documents also requires further examination. Julin dismissed suspicions Judge Zloch is intentionally lagging in his investigation of the 80,000 pages. I believe this is not a stalling tactic at all, he said. The judge is doing what he has to comply with the stringent rules surrounding the release of the classified documents. But I would urge him to speed it up, he said.

1	A new biography by science historian Tanya Medel has rocked the physics world with the revelation that theoretical physicist Albert Einstein wasn't smart enough to invent Microsoft Word and use it to devise his theory of relativity. 'The name Einstein has become synonymous with intelligence, but as I researched my book, it became clear he was incapable of devising a simple word-processing program with which to type up his findings,' Medel said Thursday of the physicist whose work revolutionized science and fundamentally changed the way people think about space and time. 'He had to scrawl everything out by hand, like some dumbo. It's a wonder people could even make heads or tails out of it without simple bullet points and auto-numbering.' Medel also revealed that the famous photo of Einstein with his tongue sticking out was not a pose made for the sake of humor, but was instead the way he looked all the time because he was just that stupid. 
1	Stating that he had been informed of a certain problem that needs solving, a high-powered Washington fixer reportedly entered the White House at 11:35 p.m. Wednesday and told a blood-spattered President Obama to listen to what he said and listen very carefully. Im here to help, Mr. President, but if were going to get you out of this mess in one piece, you need to do exactly what I tell you to do, the gruff 58-year-old fixer is said to have told Obama as the president sat muttering to himself and staring at the blood on his hands. So shut the fuck up and listen. The guy in charge right now is me and me alone. Got it? Now, show me where it happened, he added, slipping on a pair of latex gloves. The fixer, who wore a black suit and tie and carried a briefcase, pulled up to the White House in a black 1973 Oldsmobile, an anonymous source said, arriving exactly 20 minutes after he was contacted by an unknown individual within the executive residence. Conducting himself in a curt but professional manner, the fixer reportedly instructed a shocked and trembling Obama to break his cell phone in half, scrubbed every trace of bodily fluids and human tissues from the carpet in the Lincoln Bedroom, and then placed the chief executives watch and other personal effects into a Ziploc bag for disposal. Go into the bathroom, strip off your clothes, and take a shower right now, the fixer said as he eyed the presidents bloodied dress shirt. When you get out, youll find a change of clothes hanging on the door. You need to do this immediately, do you understand me? Say it, the fixer added, curtly. Say you understand me. According to sources, the fixer repeatedly pressed Obama for precise details, including the presidents exact whereabouts during the night, whether the screams would have been audible in the hallway, if anyone had seen the president entering or exiting the premises, and why there was a single blood-flecked molar resting on an ornately carved Victorian table purchased in 1861 by Mary Todd Lincoln. Listen to melisten to me, the fixer said as the wide-eyed Nobel Peace Prize winner stared blankly at a framed copy of the Constitution on the wall of his private sitting room. Is there anything else youre not telling me? Anything at all? I dont want any fucking surprises here. Over the course of his 45-minute visit, the fixer reportedly doctored numerous entries in the White House visitors log, contacted a handful of acquaintances who know how to get certain things done, and made several discreet trips out the South Portico to place bulging heavy-duty plastic bags in his trunk. Sources indicated the fixer also intensively coached Obama on how to respond if questioned by authorities, emphasizing that once he left, the president would not be able to see him or get in touch with him. Heres your story: You were working on climate policy in the White House Library with [U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest] Moniznow, dont worry, hell play along, the fixer said as he ripped down the presidents blood-caked shower curtain. At exactly 9:25 p.m., you went for a walk in the Rose Garden to clear your head, and, this is very important, you did it alone. Are you following me? Reports confirmed that after Obama nodded in the affirmative, the fixer made the president repeat the whole story back to him. At one point, when the fixer asked, Does [First Lady Michelle Obama] know? the president reportedly became so overwhelmed he began to sob. Hey...hey! said the fixer, slapping Obama across the face and telling him to pull it together. You think youre the first president Ive had to deal with? Listen, if you lose your head right now, you are throughyou understand me? Youll lose all of this. Your position. Your family. Everything. You want the entire nation to see you on cable news being dragged across the White House lawn in cuffs? Because if thats the case, Mr. President, I can leave right now, the fixer added. No? Then get in the fucking shower, pronto. Though the fixers identity remains a mystery, at press time sources had confirmed he was an old buddy of Vice President Joseph Biden. 
3	Shock Study: Police Arrest More People For Drugs Than All Violent Crimes COMBINEDBy Claire Bernish A new study by the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch exposes the absurdities of the war on drugs like the fact on any given day, 137,000 people are stuck in a cage because they happened to possess a substance the government has deemed illegal and a majority of them are stuck in jails awaiting a court date because they cant afford to post bail. Its been 45 years since the war on drugs was declared, and it hasnt been a success, Tess Borden, Human Rights Watch lead author, said in an interview, as quoted by the Washington Post. Rates of drug use are not down. Drug dependency has not stopped. Every 25 seconds, were arresting someone for drug use. Police work largely centers around drug possession, as well, with constant and increasingly militarized raids on otherwise innocent peoples homes but dont mistake those guilty of having or using illicit substances for criminals these generally law-abiding souls are victims of arbitrary legality, a condition not equatable to morality. Each day, the report summary states, tens of thousands more are convicted, cycle through jails and prisons, and spend extended periods on probation and parole, often burdened with crippling debt from court-imposed fines and fees. Their criminal records lock them out of jobs, housing, education, welfare assistance, voting, and much more, and subject them to discrimination and stigma. The cost to them and to their families and communities, as well as to the taxpayer, is devastating. Notably, the U.S. governments drug war was initiated as a way to criminalize conditions impossible to deem illegal anti-war leftists and African Americans. John Daniel Ehrlichman, counsel and domestic policy chief to President Richard Nixon, told journalist Dan Baum in 1994, as published in Harpers Magazine earlier this year, Given this latest study, that Big, Fat Marijuana Lie has had enormously tragic consequences and not, of course, limited to the original groups it targeted. While governments have a legitimate interest in preventing problematic drug use, the criminal law is not the solution, the study authors note. Criminalizing drug use simply has not worked as a matter of practice. Rates of drug use fluctuate, but they have not declined significantly since the war on drugs was declared more than four decades ago. The criminalization of drug use and possession is also inherently problematic because it represents a restriction on individual rights that is neither necessary nor proportionate to the goals it seeks to accomplish. It punishes an activity that does not directly harm others. Indeed, criminalizing vice has never worked to reduce drug use. In fact, strict laws surrounding cannabis and other drugs only line the pockets of drug cartels, who corner the black market which inevitably results and contrarily feeds abuse and addiction while stigmatization leaves those in need of help little option to come forward to request it. Rather than promoting health, criminalization can create new barriers to health for those who use drugs, notes the report. Criminalization drives drug use underground; it discourages access to emergency medicine, overdose prevention services, and risk-reducing practices such as syringe exchanges. As the study notes, decriminalization of possession of small quantities of marijuana, though certainly laudable, still leaves possession of other substances highly illegal and thus punishable by lengthy sentences and resultant criminal records despite the altogether nonviolent nature of such crimes. The report continues: Despite shifting public opinion, in 2015, nearly half of all drug possession arrests (over 574,000) were for marijuana possession. By comparison, there were 505,681 arrests for violent crimes (which the FBI defines as murder, non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault). This means that police made more arrests for simple marijuana possession than for all violent crimes combined. To combat overpopulated prisons and jails, backlogged courts, and oft-violent police tactics used to enforce drug laws, the report authors call for decriminalization of possession of all drugs and personal use calling to mind the largely effective program Portugal has now had in place for over a decade. As we argue in this report, laws criminalizing drug use are inconsistent with respect for human autonomy and the right to privacy and contravene the human rights principle of proportionality in punishment. In practice, criminalizing drug use also violates the right to health of those who use drugs. The harms experienced by people who use drugs, and by their families and broader communities, as a result of the enforcement of these laws may constitute additional, separate human rights violations, the authors state. In conclusion, the study finds the criminalization of drug use and possession a massive problem in itself and wholly disproportional compared to addiction and dependence. Tax dollars wasted in this manner could be better put to use helping those who need it rather than locking them in cages and ruining their lives with needless criminal records. All told, the report implores, It is time for the US to rethink its approach to drug use. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared.

2	Judge Rules Muslims Now Allowed To Swim In Burkinis According to recent reports, a court in Germany just made the controversial ruling that a female Muslim student should be required to participate in mixed-sex swimming lessons. BBC recently reported that the girls parents had insisted that she sit out due to the Islamic principles of modesty. The judge did rule that the student could participate in the classes while wearing an all-over swimming garment, sometimes called a burkini. The judge noted that some girls already wear the garment. Still, some Muslims are pushing back on the ruling, claiming that it is unacceptable for Muslim girls to be near boys wearing swimming trunks only. Now, the lawyer for the girls family is claiming that there is already segregation of gym lessons in some Catholic areas. What do you think of the parents requests? Should the girl be required to participate in swimming lessons? 
1	Citing the fact that the series never really got the chance it deserved, the Federal Communications Commission announced Monday that it was immediately reversing the Starz channel's decision to cancel the critically acclaimed TV show Party Down. 'We regret that [Starz] chose to end such an original program at the height of its viewership and right when Henry was finally making strides in his acting career,' FCC chair Julius Genachowski said. 'The FCC remains committed to serving the public good, and after sitting idly by while Veronica Mars and Firefly got dumped before they were able to find their audiences, we could not let Party Down suffer the same fate. If we give up on this show now, we're no better than the Hollywood hotshots who make Casey and the gang question their dreams.' With Party Down back on the air, Genachowski said he and his colleagues could now return to working on their It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia spec script. 
2	Guess Which DISGUSTING Liberal Celebrity Is Trying To Ban Trump From TV, You Will PUKE Liberals dont like anyone who disagrees with them. This is the fundamental lie of liberalism. They say that everybody needs to be open-minded and tolerant, but the second you present them with a point of view they disagree with (likethe truth), nobody is more closed-minded and intolerant than a liberal. They are like ostriches burying their heads in sand. They actively want to be in denial about the truth. It should come as not surprise, then, that mediocre Saturday Night Live alum and current host of The Late Night Seth Meyers just banned Donald Trump from his show. Meyers is a huge Democrat, and he doesnt want his TV audience to hear what Donald Trump has to say. Meyers is just one more person in the liberal media who is trying to silence Donald Trump. Whats Seth Meyers excuse for doing such an un-American thing as banning a persons free speech? Well, hes throwing a tantrum over the fact that Donald Trump doesnt like The Washington Post. That deeply biased paper run by anti-Trump liberals has made nothing but tabloid-style smears about Trump over the course of the election, and Trump finally told them bluntly that he no longer wants them to cover his campaign. This was too much for Seth Meyers, who probably enjoyed all the baseless attacks against Donald Trumps, because hes a pampered celebrity knows nothing about how the world works. Well, the jokes a on Meyershis show isnt very popular, and a Trump appearance surely would have given his a sorely-needed ratings boost. Meyers even admitted the following about Trump: To be fair, he wasnt coming on anyway, lets be honest. He had no interest in being here. 
3	Critics Decry Surveillance of Canadian Journalist as Part of Horrifying Culture ShiftBy Nadia Prupis La Presse columnist Patrick Lagac, the target in the case, called the move indefensible, stating in an interview on Monday that the approval of a warrant to spy on a journalist was incredibly aggressive. To me, this was a great pretext to try to investigate a reporter who has done numerous stories in the past that have embarrassed the service, he said. This is a big thing in a country like Canada. Police were permitted to spy on a journalist under very, very thin motives on a secondary part of a criminal investigation. Supporters of press freedom in Canada said it is part of a worrying culture shift brought about by the so-called anti-terror bill approved by Parliament last year, which gave extraordinary new powers to law enforcement agencies, including their ability to spy on civilians. Tom Henheffer, executive director of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, told CBC News, The new powers that the police have to survey Canadians are absolutely horrifying, theyre basically limitless, theres very little oversight, and when that happens the system will be ripe for abuse, and this is just an example of how its abused. Whats even more worrying about it is the fact that this is a justice of the peace who actually authorized this, he said. Police reportedly monitored Lagacs iPhone for several months this year in order to find out the identity of his sources, apparently as part of an investigation into a crime that occurred within the police force. The probe was called Projet Escouade,and involved charges of fabricated evidence by officers involved in street gangs and drug trafficking operations. One of the officers being investigated apparently contacted Lagac. At least 24 surveillance warrants were issued that allowed police to track incoming and outgoing calls on Lagacs phone, as well as its location, although Police Chief Philippe Pichet denied that Lagacs GPS was being monitored. Mark Bantey, a media lawyer, told CBC News that the revelations were shocking. I was stunned because the police obviously took the very drastic measures to obtain the source of information. I think its shocking actually. I think its a serious attack on freedom of the press in Canada, Bantey said. I have never seen anything like this in the 35 years I have been practicing media law. It is unprecedented. The police have issued search warrants against media outlets in the past, but nothing as far-ranging as this one. Henheffer also noted that Lagacs case is only the latest in which a journalist was targeted by police for information, pointing to an incident in September when Quebec provincial police seized Journal de Montral reporter Michael Nguyens computer because they believed he had illegally obtained information for a story. And Stphane Giroux, a spokesperson for the Quebec journalists federation, told CBC that the scandal could chill free speech and discourage sources from reaching out to reporters. If they can do it to Patrick Lagac, they can do it to anyone, he said. Pichet claimed that all regulations were followed in the operation of spying on a journalists phone.

1	Father of five Don Knutsen, 39, can still recall a time not too long ago when he would have instantly dismissed the thought of lacing his family's lunch with Rohypnol and burning the house down with everyone inside as 'crazy.' 'Just a year ago, that would have seemed pretty out there, all right,' Knutsen told reporters as he tried to settle down his overexcited four-year-olds, Beth and Rogan, while his wife, Maude, informed him that the light in the bathroom was still broken. 'These days, I usually don't make it to five o'clock before I notice we have five gallons of gas just sitting there in the garage.' Although he does not currently have the time or money to seek counseling, Knutsen said he will certainly contact the authorities if he begins having murder-suicide fantasies in which his family does not die painlessly. 
3	Feds Raid Oaksterdam University Who Dont Even Sell PotPhillip Smith Also hit in the early morning raids were the nearby Oaksterdam Museum, the Oaksterdam gift shop, and the Oakland Cannabis Buyers Club. None of those businesses actually distribute medical marijuana. The Bay Citizen reported that Oaksterdam founder Richard Lee had been detained at his home and that four university plant tenders had been arrested. The Bay Citizen also reported that the former location of Lees Blue Sky dispensary had been raided. Oaksterdam University is the beating heart of the Oakland cannabis revival, which has helped revitalize the citys downtown core. Founded in 2007, it was the first institution in the country devoted to providing instruction in medical marijuana cultivation. Owned and operated by Richard Lee, who put his personal fortune into getting 2010s Proposition 19 to legalize marijuana on the ballot, the university has trained thousands of people in how to grow their own medicine and other aspects of medical marijuana business. It has also served as an organizing center for the Bay area medical marijuana movement. Federal officials were tight-lipped, with IRS spokeswoman Arlette Lee saying little more than that the raids were part of an ongoing investigation. Federal officials have been cracking down on California dispensaries for the past year, breaking with an earlier Obama administration stance that it would not bother operations that were in compliance with state law. While in some cases, the federal crackdown has been assisted, or even instigated by, local officials, that is not the case in cannabis-friendly Oakland. The city has worked closely with medical marijuana providers and derives substantial tax revenues from them. It recently announced plans to double the number of dispensaries in the city from four to eight. A previously scheduled press conference and protest march in San Francisco set for Tuesday should be even more energized after Mondays raids directed at what many see as the heart of the California medical marijuana scene.

3	Silver Explodes: Precious Metal Price Reaches 11 Month HighBy Joshua Krause Silver, however, has been lagging behind. Despite normally keeping pace with gold, silver has only increased 8% this year, but that may be about to change. Silver was up by more than 4% on Tuesday and briefly reached over $17 an ounce; the highest its been in 11 months. Its believed that the gold-silver ratio is whats driving the price. The two metals typically rise and fall together, and investors believe that silver is poised to catch up to gold. But more than that, the price of both metals has grown in light of a weakening dollar, volatile markets, and concerns that a major recession is on its way. Most hedge funds are currently betting that the gold rally isnt over yet, and the number of contracts on gold futures hasnt been this high since 2012. What do you think? Is gold and silver finally ready to break out and recover from the losses of the past few years? Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author. You can follow Joshuas reports at Facebook or on his personal Twitter. Joshuas website is Strange Danger. EXPLODE???? geesh, I looked and the price was only up ONE or TWO dollars in a quarter of the year! Not too long ago it was around THIRTY bucks higher! I cant see any explosion, not even close! How about some REALISTIC reporting???? Im all in with silver and gold explode away. 
1	Following a strong performance by the Democratic nominee in Tuesday's presidential debate, political analysts overwhelmingly agree that Sen. Barack Obama has all but clinched the much-sought-after 'Joe Cabernet Sauvignon' voting bloc. 'Once again, Obama has proved his ability to speak directly to all the regular truffle-oil-guzzlin', Nabokov-readin', opera-attendin' folks who play such an important part in deciding this election,' MSNBC commentator Chris Matthews said of the Illinois senator's strong connection with the nation's hardworking gallery owners, literary critics, and gourmet-cheese purveyors. 'His strong rapport with the average haut monde Joseph could tip the scales Nov. 4.' Sen. John McCain's recent attempts to reach out to this constituency by wearing an elegant silk ascot were not well received, having been described in most quarters as 'pandering of the most contemptuous variety.' 
2	BREAKING: Obama Releases Martial Law Announcement... He Will Not Step Down In the past week, since Donald Trump was officially named our countrys president-elect, the nation has erupted into violent protests from Hillary Clinton supporters. Liberals have been under fire this week for demonstrating extremism and poor sportsmanship, demanding that Trump be denied the presidency he won. Now, reports are circulating that Barack Obama could be plotting to combat Trumps transition with martial law. Donald Trump News reported that Obama could potentially use these protesters as an excuse to declare martial law; thereby suspending the transition of power due to a national emergency. If Obama were to take such action, Trump would be robbed of his spot in the White House and Obama would stay president. There has also been speculation on social media that protests are being orchestrated to help solidify Obamas argument. Trump supporters in Austin, Texas recently took to Twitter with claims they saw buses being used to transport protesters into the city. These allegations do sound extreme, but given the way liberals have acted throughout this entire election process, we wouldnt be surprised. What do you think? Is it time for liberals to accept defeat and move on? 
3	Join The Movement to Keep 3D Printing OpenJulie Samuels Open hardware printers have been used for rapid prototyping of new inventions, to print replacement parts for household objects and appliances, by DIY scientists to turn a power drill into a centrifuge, for a game in which you can engineer your own pieces, and for thousands of other purposes by makers of all stripes. Projects like MakerBot and Solidoodle have made 3D printers accessible on a plug-and-play basis, so you dont even need a soldering iron to start manufacturing objects you designed or downloaded from the Internet. As additional patents expire, the open hardware community will be able to unleash its creative spirit on new technologies, technologies that have already been used to design custom prosthetics, guitars, shoes, and more. The possibilities are limitless. The Problem While many core patents restricting 3D printing have expired or will soon expire, there is a risk that creative patent drafting will continue to lock up ideas beyond the 20-year terms of those initial patents or that patents will restrict further advances made by the open hardware community. The incremental nature of innovation in 3D printing makes it particularly unsuitable for patenting, as history has shown. Weve said before that the America Invents Act failed to address many of the patent systems worst problems. Despite that, it does include at least one provision we think could be helpful: the newly implemented Preissuance Submission procedure. That procedure allows third parties to participate in the patent application process by creating a vehicle to provide patent examiners with prior art. Were glad to see the Patent Office open up the process to those who might not be filing patents themselves, but who are affected by the patent system everyday. Were also glad that this new process may help stem the tide of improvidently-granted patents. EFF and the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvards Berkman Center for Internet and Society are working together to use this new process to challenge patent applications that particularly threaten growing 3D printing technologies. As a first step, we are evaluating 3D printing patent applications currently pending before the Patent Office to identify potential target applications. We need your help! If you know of any applications covering 3D printing technology that you think should be challenged, please let us know by emailing 3Dprinting@eff.org (and also point us to any relevant prior art you might know about). To get involved with the search, go to the USPTOs application search tool, PAIR, and/or Google Patents. Each of these sources contains valuable details about the applications currently pending before the USPTO. Heres the thing: under the current rules, a patent application may only be challenged by a Preissuance Submission within six months of its publication (or before the date of the first rejection, if that comes later). Once target applications are identified, we will seek out relevant prior art. Well be asking for your help again then, so please watch this space. Any document that was publicly available before an application was filed is considered prior art; this can include emails to public lists, websites, and even doctoral theses. Because of the time limit, once we identify the target applications, we must complete the prior art search quickly. Were glad theres a new way to to challenge dangerous patent applications before they become dangerous patents. But the America Invents Act and the search capabilities of the Patent Offices website wont make this job easy. We need your help to get this done, so please do what you can to help protect the 3D printing community from overbroad patents that can threaten exciting innovation.

When you pick Brendan up at the bus station, hes probably going to be wearing eyeliner, and maybe some black nail polish, said 23-year-old daughter Claire Glidewell during a confidential telephone briefing on the situation, citing credible reports from well-placed sources at Fredonia State University as well as a recon mission that turned up photos of her younger brother taken at recent campus parties and posted to Facebook. Thats just a thing hes doing now. Thought youd want to know.

3	Pretty Damning Statistics: Hospitalizations and Mortality Rates Regarding VaccinesCatherine J. Frompovich, Contributor After Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (PL99-660) in 1986, a postmarketing safety surveillance program called Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) was set in place in 1990 to collect information about adverse events or side effects attributed to vaccines licensed and administered in the United States. Since VAERS inception, over 350,000 adverse reports have been reported. However, only 13% of all reports were considered serious reactions that included life-threatening conditions, permanent disability, or even death, according to GS Goldman and NZ Miller who investigated and statistically analyzed the VEARS database for the years 1990 to 2010. Quoting from the Goldman-Miller paper Relative trend in hospitalizations and mortality among infants by the number of vaccine doses and age, based on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), 1990-2010 published in Human Experimental Toxicology, 2012 31:1012 orginally published online 24 April, 2012. The online version of this article can be found at http://het.sagepub.com/content/31/10/1012 Some infants might be more likely to experience an adverse reaction due to biochemical or synergistic toxicity associated with concurrent administration of multiple vaccines. Yet, studies have not been conducted to determine the safety (or efficacy) of administering multiple vaccine doses during a single physician visit based on the CDCs recommended vaccine schedule. The above statement, I think, most science-based individuals ought to find totally and outrageously appalling, i.e., no studies have been conducted to determined the safety or efficacy of administering up to nine (9) vaccines into a little 2, 4, or 6 month old baby, especially since medicine, Big Pharma, and the CDC/FDA consider themselves to be operating within the rudiments of science. How patently stupid is that? Furthermore, real science would be demanding such efficacy and safety studies be performed, analyzed, and vetted BEFORE automatically implementing such practices based solely on convenience for parents. In 2011 Goldman and Miller published another study stating that among developed nations, infant mortality increased with an increase in the number of vaccine doses. [1] Furthermore, researcher G Delong published a 2011 paper wherein he reported that the higher the proportion of children receiving recommended vaccinations, the higher the prevalence of autism or speech and language impairment. [2] Another 2011 research study by Oestergaard MZ, et al. found that infants who received the Hepatitis B vaccine either as a newborn or as a neonate were predisposed to more hospitalizations and deaths than older infants. [3] Goldman and Miller also state in their current paper that there are seven previously published studies giving evidence of correlation between the Hepatitis B vaccine and serious adverse reactions, which include pediatric multiple sclerosis. Currently, Goldman and Miller found Cases that specified either hospitalization or death were identified among infants, defined as childrenaged less than 1 year, for whom reports were filed in the VAERS database from 1990 through the end of 2010. The studys authors downloaded 327,331 VAERS case reports of which they statistically analyzed 298,614 case reports of individuals aged less than 100 years. In their report they explain why they used that number of cases. Of the 298,614 cases 13.1% or 39,082 were infant cases. Of that number, 99.3% or 38,801 infant cases were reported as receiving fewer than 9 vaccine doses concurrently and were available for analyses, which showed 6,279 hospitalizations for children less than one year old and 1,881 deaths. The number of deaths reported occurred as follows: 1,623 deaths in children ages 0.0 year to less than 0.5 year of age or less than six (6) months old out of 26,408 case reports or 6.1% 258 deaths in children ages 0.5 year to 0.9 year of age or less than eleven (11) months old out of 12,393 case reports or 2.1% What was the gender distribution relating to those deaths? 1,133 were males: 984 under six (6) months old and 149 under eleven (11) months old 723 were females: 617 under six (6) months old and 106 under eleven (11) months old 25 case reports had no gender designation The damning part about this information is that the VAERS database reports probably represent only the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to reporting vaccine adverse events. To illustrate what I mean, former FDA Commissioner David Kessler said, Only about one percent of serious events are reported. OMG! Back in August of 2012, I published the article A Parents Guide: What to do if your child dies after vaccination, which parents and legal guardians may find helpful, available at Because of the numerous industrial-type chemicals, antigens, neurotoxins, preservatives, stabilizers, and inactivating chemicals, e.g., formaldehyde/Formalin, glutaraldehyde, and polyoxyethylene, combined in each vaccine thereby causing cumulative toxic buildup, its incomprehensible why medical science does not perform safety and efficacy studies on multi-valent vaccines; that the CDC/FDA do not mandate those studies be performed; or why Congress, who gave vaccine makers carte blanche protecting them from being liable for damage from vaccines, doesnt require safety and efficacy studies on multiple vaccine injections at one time. Or, perhaps the EPA or even OSHA should become involved because of all the chemicals used in making vaccines. Goldman and Millers current study of the VAERS reporting system validates such studies are needed without delay. What every healthcare consumer ought to be asking is whether CDC/FDA really are remiss in their charters to protect the publics health, especially infants and children, when they encourage and mandate Frankenstein-like vaccination mandates as public health policy. What parent would put formaldehyde, mercury, aluminum or any of vaccines toxic chemicals into his or her child, especially those from 6 to 9 vaccines at one time? Furthermore, parents ought to be seriously concerned why the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently supported the World Health Organizations (WHO) claim that mercury [Hg] ought to remain in vaccines. For confirmation of that, please see the December 17, 2012 AAP release AAP Endorses WHO Statement on Thimerosal in Vaccines [4], when on the FDAs current [12/29/12] website [5] this appears: As a precautionary measure, the Public Health Service (including the FDA, National Institutes of Health (NIH), Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics issued two Joint Statements, urging vaccine manufacturers to reduce or eliminate thimerosal in vaccines as soon as possible (CDC 1999) and (CDC 2000). The U.S. Public Health Service agencies have collaborated with various investigators to initiate further studies to better understand any possible health effects from exposure to thimerosal in vaccines. [CJF Emphasis added] Note: Mercury in Thimerosal is 49.6% ethyl mercury. It also should be noted that the toxicity of ethyl mercury is NOT well studied. Interesting? For those who want to know more about the mercury in vaccines cover-up, I heartily suggest reading The Simpsonwood Conference: Mercury-Autism Coverup! by Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=188274776746 , which my co-editor and I included in our January 2011 monograph, Vaccines Vaccinations: The Need For Congressional Investigation. CDC/FDA and AAP need to support factual science and biochemistry about mercury in any form. Mercury in any form still is Hg! Quoting from the link below, It [Hg] may cause headaches, trouble sleeping, personality change, memory loss, irritability, indecisiveness and loss of intelligence. http://www.elcosh.org/document/1618/d000541/Mercury%252BFact%252BSheet.html?gclid=CLvyzYSqwLQCFSXNOgod9UYAbw Perchance, do any of the problems mercury can cause resemble anything on the Autism Spectrum Disorder syndrome? MedicineNet.coms website about mercury mentions that Thimerosal [49.6% Hg] is only in flu vaccines. So why mandate children 6 months and older AND pregnant women with growing fetuses receive the flu shot? Prenatal advice is given about eating fish containing mercury during pregnancy because mercury could affect the developing fetus. And a flu shots mercury doesnt? What kind of cockamamie science or pseudo science is that? Big Pharmas world of vaccinology would come crashing down like a house of cards if medicine had to retract its position on mercury in vaccines. Thats probably why pseudo science will prevail regarding vaccines, especially in light of the Simpsonwood meeting in June 2000, out of which came the following: After the Simpsonwood gathering, the CDC also instructed the Institute of Medicine (IOM), i.e., the National Academy of Sciences, to produce a new study with contrived results: no correlation between thimerosal and brain disorders. According to Dr. Marie McCormick, who chaired the IOMs Immunization Safety Review Committee in January 2001, the CDC wants us to declare, well, that these things are pretty safe. In fact, we are not ever going to come down that [autism] is a true side effect of thimerosal.

2	Obama Ignored This Marine, So Trump Did THIS Instead Despite the many candidates out to get him, Donald Trump has maintained a strong lead in the GOP polls. This is probably because he has made it abundantly clear that he loves our nation and the men and women who fight to defend it. Last year, U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was held prisoner in a Mexican prison for 214. Americans begged Obama to interview, but he was slow to take action. Now, it has been revealed that while Obama did nothing, Donald Trump quietly offered Tahmooressi financial assistance. In all seriousness, Donald did help out Sgt. Tahmooressi, Greta Van Susteren told viewers. He sent him some money to help him jump start his life. Sgt. Tahmooressi rotted in a Mexican prison for 214 days. President Obama wouldnt even pick up the phone to help. I was proud to help Sgt. Tahmooressi and this showed what we can do when we work together, Trump told Van Susteren. What do you think? Would Trump be an infinitely better leader than Obama ever was? 
3	PET Scans Reveal Psychopathic MarkersBy Michael T. Winter The reason for this is simple. If we are to compare a Political System to a clock, we can envision that there are cogs, all turning in harmony, that produce a desired result. For a clock, the desired result is the correct time to be displayed. For a Political System, the goal would be to have a fair, transparent system constructed to maintain aspects of society that cannot be handled at a family level. Township, town, city, county, state, federal; all doing only what is required at that level, and no more. All levels would report to the people of problems, progress and major decisions. The reason the Utopian vision just described cant take place is that one of the cogs is not engineered correctly; one bad cog will render the entire system dysfunctional. If you were a baker, and had to make all of your bread from scratch, the first thing to do would be to get your ingredients together. Youve made your bread, and when you tasted, knew something was wrong. What would you do first? Check the ingredients is what I would do. If one ingredient is bad, then it spoils the whole batch of dough. We used to drain a persons blood unto death for a head cold. (To much Iron in the blood!) We used to think if you sailed far enough on the ocean, you would fall of the edge of the earth. We used to think the sun revolved around the earth. As a species, weve thought the silliest things, but we only know they are silly because the sciences have proven otherwise. In examination then, if the ocracies and isms that have been attempted over several millennia have all failed, then perhaps the problem lies in another direction? When discussing systems of governance, the label is the Political System. The primary roles are filled by Politicians. It doesnt matter how the system came into being; what does matter is that at some point in its evolutionary cycle, it becomes permeated with a group of people concerned with two things: Money and Power. At a certain level, regardless of the initial intentions of anyone running for public office, the system in place either corrupts that person (if successful in his/her bid) or they do not function in that environment and they are run out or get out of politics. Thats because the system is populated with psychopaths, and you can only go so far in a psychopathic environment if you are not one. Get Hitchcock out of your head. Get Dianne Feinstein in. Science has made great leaps in mapping the human brain through the use of PET scans and the MRI machine. (1) We can now look at pictures of a brain and visually gauge levels of compassion and empathy found within. By studying thousands of these scans and cross-referencing them with the histories of the subjects scanned, irrefutable conclusions have been arrived at. Brains showing a lower than average development in the frontal cortex link to a patient history of psychopathic behavior. Studies indicate these diminished brain areas in individuals are markers for what we call psychopaths; manifestations of psychopaths include a lust for power and control, desire wealth and unearned respect and a marked lack compassion for others, or empathy. At a certain political level, from second-term politician and up, as well, one must be a clinical psychopath to function and thrive. Being a psychopath is not a choice, any more than contracting Polio would be. The point is, that psychopathy is an illness of the brain. Anyone can be a psychopath. Anyone can have the Parkinsons time bomb ticking inside. No difference. A brain showing psychopathic tendencies manifest a variant gene called the MAO-A gene, that has been linked to aggression, violence and low empathy. (2) The area of the brain lacking development in psychopaths is the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. This is displayed here: The arrow shows a healthy brain on top and the brain of a psychopath below. There is clearly a difference. There is a great deal of science supporting this from top universities and scientific institutions. Interestingly, though, the APA (American Psychiatric Association) does not list psychopathy as a mental condition in its definitive manual DSM-V, though they have identified over 400 neuroses since climbing in bed with Big Pharma. The first thing a psychopath would do is squash any attempts to identify psychopathy in a medical diagnosis. A psychologist from Stalinist Russia, Andrew M. Lobaczewski, was part of a team (the only one to make it out alive and be able to report their findings) that approximately 4% of the human population displays psychopathic markers. (3) .. a lust for power and control. They desire wealth and unearned respect. They lack compassion for others. Does this line from above describe, more or less, what weve come to know as our average politician? Most, I believe, would find this to be an accurate reflection. Many jobs require a physical prior to hiring. They can include a psychological profile as well. Any psychopath worth their salt can answer on paper what he or she knows is required for approval, so any written test should be dismissed as wholly unreliable. What is impossible to hide are the results of a PET scan. If a person has psychopathic tendencies, no amount of lies or coercion or blustering or threatening can alter the results. Its there or it isnt. If a potential senator has a congenital heart defect or exhibits per-Alzheimer symptoms, that person would be ruled out as a potential candidate as being physically or mentally incapable of carrying out the duties of office. What is needed is greater awareness of psychopathy and the prevalence of psychopathic persons in office. If, as it has been scientifically established, there is a genetic marker for psychopathy, then that condition should be a precursor to running for office, then we as a society would be able to filter out the psychopaths, leaving room for mentally healthy, non-psychotic persons to function as administrators of the public trust. If, as it is now, a person cannot hold office for a long list of physical conditions, both present and potential, then this condition, this genetic marker, should be placed on that list. There is no shame in it, any more than one can or should view Parkinsons, or Lou Gehrigs disease as a personal shortcoming or flaw. This has a small chance for success, unfortunately. Who controls newspapers, television, Hollywood, Business, government and virtually every aspect of our existence to a lesser or greater degree? Psychopaths. The system is set up, designed, and maintained by them. But, if you really want to test this theory out, (and watch a politician say no in a hundred different ways), ask one of them if they would be willing to submit to a PET scan to check for psychopathic markers. There will be no takers. References: Also by Michael T. Winter: 
2	Hillary Clinton In Panic Mode Trying To Scrub THIS Leaked Video From The Internet [VIDEO] The odds arent looking good for presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, after a new poll revealed that 57% of Americans view her as untrustworthy. Whats more, a poll conducted by Fox News has shown that only 2% of Americans think she is telling the truth about the email scandal. But it seems that Clinton hasnt seen the worst of it yet. Amid the controversy, this 95-second commercial has come to surface, and we dont think Americans will react very well to it. The Washington times has reported that more than 305 of Clintons emails contained classified information, a fact that she repeatedly lied about. This ad called Failed Leadership was created by America Rising PAC, and shows some behind the scenes clips about the controversy. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Does Hillary need to be exposed for the liar she is? 
3	The fake War on Terrorism and the real War on Islam: Writing ContestJohn Hammer In George Orwells 1984, the fake terrorist threat is very effectively used as a tool to spread fear and compliance among the population of Airstrip One, the new name for Great Britain. Whenever the government wishes to impose a new law or further restrict freedoms in any way, they wheel out their utterly invented, fake nemesis, Emmanuel Goldstein who is then, along with his organisation, said to have committed various atrocities, effectively paving the way for further draconian restrictions of freedoms by invoking the Hegelian dialectic (problem, reaction, solution). Does this sound at all familiar? For Emmanuel Goldstein read Osama bin Laden, Colonel Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein and all may become clearer. The utterly ridiculous assertion that Iran is supplying sophisticated arms to the Palestinians is like the similarly false assertion that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. These assertions are propagandistic justifications for killing Arab civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure in order to further US, British and Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. The current perceived threat posed by Islam is the main barrier to the widespread expansion of Elite corporatism and therefore this makes it necessary for them to totally eliminate this threat. They do this by painting all Muslims as potential terrorists and then infiltrating Muslim dissident groups and by the use of coercion and the funding of their activities, these groups are subtly enticed to carry out minor acts of terror that can be inflated beyond all belief by the lackeys of the press and then used as examples of the horrors of Islamic extremism. Consider these numbers for a moment; the reason will soon become apparent In the USA in 2008, heart disease killed 870,000 people, doctor and hospital errors 200,000, road deaths were 43,000, salmonella poisoning 600 and terrorism, 6. In 2009 the heart disease prevention budget was $2.9 bn whilst the anti-terrorism budget was $160 bn. What is wrong with this picture? Where is the war on heart disease, the war on medical inadequacy, road deaths and salmonella? Unfortunately, heart disease does not generate profits for the Elite military-industrial complex on the same scale as terrorism or indeed further the agenda in any significant way. Fighting terrorism is a wonderfully expedient way of continuing a war economy without end against an enemy that cannot even be adequately defined let alone conquered, has no discernible borders and no national identity to destroy. It is in fact the perfect enemy for those who wish to enslave us and keep us in a permanent state of poverty and disenfranchisement by waging perpetual, unwinnable war, exactly as described in glorious detail by George Orwell in 1984. According to US government propaganda, terrorist cells are spread throughout America, making it necessary for the government to spy on all Americans and violate most other constitutional protections. If America were infected with terrorists, we would not need the government to tell us. We would know it from events. the US government substitutes warnings in order to keep alive the fear that causes the public to accept pointless wars, the infringement of civil liberty, national ID cards, and inconveniences and harassments when they fly. The most obvious indication that there are no terrorist cells is that not a single neocon has been assassinated. Paul Craig Roberts, The War on Terror is a Hoax, 2009 The evolution of Western societies as genuine democracies with the ability to unify mankind on a broad basis, has been derailed consistently and perhaps irreversibly, by corporate cartels that have taken these countries down the path of global conquest and total exploitation of many poor but resource-rich countries, committing genocide in the process. The Elite corporations involved in this insidious plan, operate secretly, often illegally, sometimes within utterly immoral laws lobbied-for by themselves and without regard for the wider interests of humanity in general. Thus, the exploited countries see the western democracies, in particular, the US, the UK and Israel as a power of unprecedented and unmatched ruthlessness. The US is not only the greatest super-power in history, but it is also the greatest subversive power ever to inflict itself upon humanity. Corporations have infiltrated the White House, the US legislative bodies and judiciary, as well as the US security agencies, some of which, such as the CIA, were created at the behest of Wall Street financial interests anyway in order to further their own agendas on foreign soil. And this is also true of Americas allies secret services. Indeed, not one of the so-called western democracies have escaped corporate infiltration and in effect a secret takeover by Elite, corporate interests. This corporate ascendancy in the western power structure is now a constant and deeply-embedded feature of international politics. The people of the world are now almost out of the loop completely as democracy has been totally hijacked. This is in fact the real danger to the future of mankind, not so-called terrorism. How often are we warned of the extreme dangers posed to our democracy and way of life, by the terrorist group Al Qaeda that according to the Elite, has cells everywhere in the world simultaneously, all in possession of unlimited funding? Azzam Yahiye Gadahn also known as Azzam the American or the new Bin Laden is the so called Al-Qaeda spokesperson who releases videos tormenting the world with his anti-American rants. The FBI even has him on their most wanted terrorist lists. However, in reality he is an American Jew named Adam Pearlman, from California. Pearlmans grandfather, Carl Pearlman, was a prominent surgeon and on the board of directors of the Zionist Anti-Defamation League. This is a sick joke which could almost be funny were it not so serious a matter. They are taunting and laughing at us all whilst we all slumber in our blind apathy. International terrorism is a fantasy that has been exaggerated and distorted by politicians. It is a dark illusion that has spread unquestioned through governments around the world, the security services and the international media. British author, Adam Curtis Some highly-paid intellectual guardians of the Elite-approved truth allege that Islam breeds terrorism. The Western mass-media then complements this theoretically convenient notion to poison the public perceptions against Arabs and all Muslims in general. And thus the perception of radical Islam was manufactured and enhanced by the fear of terrorism as if Arabs and Muslims in general are all evil personified and terrorism was an exclusive domain of the Islamic religious tenets. Bushs famously emotive rhetoric you are either with us or you are with the terrorists is perfectly worded to emotionally influence the masses. Emotional appeals to fear and to patriotism have led most of the population to accept unaccountable government in the name of the war on terror. What supreme irony it is that so many people have been convinced that their personal safety depends upon the sacrifice of their civil liberties and truly accountable government. There is absolutely no terrorism in the thoughts and in the words of Islam and no Arabic-Islamic vocabulary exists of extremism or terrorism to reciprocate the western accusations and Elite media propaganda campaigns. In a rational context, the War on Terrorism has nothing to do with the alleged terrorists; it is a war to help Halliburton, Bectal, Blackwater, Wackenhut, Exxon, BP, Shell and other mega-corporations to capitalise their holds on the oil supplies and gas pipelines. Bush passed Executive Order #13303, providing complete immunity from criminal prosecution to the companies dealing with the Iraqi oil management. Hopefully, history will judge the nations involved by their actions, not by the false claims of their leaders. So, in summary, I would make this plea to anyone who cannot see how fear and terror is being used as a tool to subjugate the world and its gullible peoples Please wake up and look beyond the mainstream news media.

1	In a rivalry that shows no signs of abating, Iraq and Kentucky remain locked in a bitter struggle for world shooting-into-the-air supremacy. Iraq's Saddam Hussein and Kentucky's Travis Lee Butler hone their cloud-shooting skills. 'I'll be damned if any Muslim's gonna beat the great state of Kentucky at what she do best,' said Coon Hollow resident Billy Joe Dupree, 39, in between bouts of firing his shotgun skyward Monday. 'We been shootin' into the air for all kinds 'a reasons since they was a Kentucky, and that's a fact. Why, even my wall-eyed cousin Mavis could outshoot one o' them Muslims, and she ain't hardly finished the fifth grade.' Aziz Hourani, 24, of Baghdad, took exception to Dupree's claims of air-shooting superiority. 'Such is our anger at the Great Satan that we send many bullets into the air every day,' said Hourani, raising his AK-47 carbine and firing several rounds. 'No one can surpass us at shooting upwardsand certainly not the Americans.' Though worlds apart geographically and culturally, Iraq and Kentucky each boast rich traditions of vertical marksmanship. 'Expressing one's feelings and emotions via the firing of guns into the air is an ancient and noble artform,' said Henri St. Germain, president of the Federation Internationale des Discharges-Aeriales (FIDA), the sport's governing body. 'In fact, it may even predate the practice of expressing one's feelings and emotions by shooting into other humans. And nowhere on Earth does this tradition continue to thrive more than in Iraq and Kentucky. It is a vital part of these two unique cultures.' Continued St. Germain: 'Whether shooting to celebrate a successful moonshine heist from neighboring kinfolk or the downfall of an imperialist Western regime, Kentucky and Iraq bring an undeniable passion and pride to their craft.' According to FIDA officials, in head-to-head competition, Iraq and Kentucky are closely matched. 'From a technical standpoint, the two competitors are virtually dead-even, with different but equally strong styles,' veteran FIDA judge Olivier Resnais said. 'The Iraqis' preference for automatic military weapons give them the edge in rounds-fired-into-the-air-per-minute, whereas the Kentucky double-barreled shotgun or squirrel rifle has a much greater bore, allowing for a louder, more full-bodied sound and a much greater weight of vertically propelled lead per shot.' 'In terms of vocal style, they are again different yet similar, with the gun wielders of each region doing their best to drown out their weapon's report through fervent yelling of their native calls,' Resnais continued. 'Though they may have different meanings, the cries of 'Yeeeee-haw!' and 'Allahu akbar!' are, in spirit, not actually all that different.' 
3	US Breaches International Law in Afghanistan Causing Massive ProtestsBy Claire Bernish Signed May 2, 2012, the BSA dictates rules and laws of conduct pertaining to U.S. assistance with the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) after the NATO coalition concluded operations in 2014. The Agreement states: The Parties agree to continue their close cooperation and coordination to those ends, with the intention of protecting U.S. and Afghan national interests without unilateral U.S. military counter-terrorism operations [] Cooperation and activities relating to implementation of this Agreement shall be consistent with the Parties respective commitments and obligations under international law [] United States forces shall not enter Afghan homes for the purpose of military operations and searches except under extraordinary circumstances involving the urgent risk to life and limb of U.S. nationals [emphasis added]. Despite the unmistakable, qualifying language of the text, the search and raid of the home of Jan Ahmad did not meet several parameters mentioned. Ahmad, who is not affiliated with al-Qaeda or the Taliban, did not pose an immediate threat. Pay attention to the language in the official statements about the raid, as well. Around 4:30 a.m., the raid was conducted to destroy a cache of munitions that could be used to conduct attacks against Afghan and coalition forces, explained General John F. Campbells spokesperson, Colonel Brian Tribus. This involved United States forces descending from helicopters, according to an anonymous aide of Ahmads, as reported in the New York Times. Reuters reported that Tribus said the operation was conducted in keeping with bilateral military agreements that include provisions to fight the Taliban and other militants, and protect coalition forces. After a thorough search of Ahmads home, U.S. soldiers blew up the entire weapons cache. The circumstances surrounding this mission infuriated the local population to the extent that all area businesses were shuttered as massive protests ensued. Among the list of grievances was the U.S. failure to consult or coordinate with local authorities. Also noteworthy is the insistence by the same anonymous aide that Ahmads weapons dated back to the 1980s without any newer procurements. This would be in line with reports from as far back as 2007 that similar disarmament efforts found mostly small arms of which at least 40 percent were not functional. On close inspection, several blatant inconsistencies beg for answers. Why were U.S. forces conducting a unilateral mission in the first place? A pre-dawn raid searching for hidden weapons hardly constitutes an immediate threat of maiming or death. Even the official U.S. military spokesperson claimed the search was for weapons that could be usedhow extraordinarily urgent could that be at 4:30 a.m.? And these weapons? Do troops need to be deployed from the sky when history bears little evidence that such a target would have newer or heavy weapons? Or that a sizable portion of them are even capable of functioning? What about Tribus statements that the raid was permitted by stipulations in the BSA? Clearly, even the purpose of the raid doesnt offer justification. That discrepancy was picked up by Aimal Faizi, current liaison and former spokesperson for Hamid Karzaipresident of Afghanistan through the end of September 2014. Faizi questioned the Reuters reporter on Twitter: At the risk of posing the obvious question, what was the actual reason for this raid? What have we not been told? And why have we been given a story with the explanatory equivalence to wet tissue paper? There is a final pointso conspicuous, it virtually screams for answers. Since NATO claims to have ended operations in Afghanistan in 2014, why is a colonel in the U.S. Army referring to coalition forces at allmore than halfway through 2015? Claire Bernish writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this article first appeared. Tune in! The Anti-Media radio show airs Monday through Friday @ 11pm Eastern/8pm Pacific. The Afghan people should be use to the lies by now. I say get all U.S. Military personnel out of Afghanistan, now, and any other Country in the Middle East. I for one do believe we had no business over there in Iraq or Afghanistan in the first place. Halliburton giving Chaney a $40 Million Dollar Severance package, when he ran for Vice President, was a good investment. What did they make off the War over there, $40 Billion or so Dollars. I expect they had information that OBL was hiding under the weapons. 
2	Free Obamacare Now Only For Illegal Immigrants Well it appears that Obamas goal really is to make America the land of the free. Given, of course, that you are an illegal immigrant. The Obama administration has been bending over backward to expand entitlement funding, and the majority of the benefits are going toward illegal immigrants. When the Affordable Care Act was initially passed, however, Democrats agreed that undocumented workers would not be eligible for Obamacare benefits. Now, they are claiming that the 4,000 illegal immigrants enrolled in Obamacare in Oregon was an accident. According to a local paper, officials discovered the problem several weeks ago and are correcting it. However, the recent lapse just scratches the surface of what is really going on. Not only were the illegal immigrants provided with near-free health insurance, but not a single member of the government was able to uncover the fact that 4,000 applications were allegedly submitted in error. In fact, problems were not identified until after the applications were processed. And were only talking about one state. If that is true, it appears the system could be even worse than Americans initially feared. What do you think of Obamacare? Should illegal immigrants be receiving better benefits than American citizens? 
1	With his administration dogged by criminal allegations, President Bush called a special Cabinet meeting Tuesday to ensure that his staff's complex web of alibis is consistent at every level, an anonymous source reported. 'Okay, team, let's make sure we're all on the same completely fabricated page here,' Bush reportedly said while aides distributed thick binders containing the administration's latest official side of things. 'The e-mail server crashed during Katrina, the dog chewed up our files on the Plame leak, and no one ever told me that the illegal wiretapping was illegal. Right, boys?' Added Bush: 'Remember, we're all really on a picnic at Camp David right now.' Bush has held 17 Cabinet meetings to get the story straight since 2001, surpassing the previous record, held by the Reagan administration. 
2	Mass Casualty Units Seen Heading Towards Operation Jade Helm Outpost [SEE PHOTOS] In the past few months, weve seen heated debates over Operation Jade Helm, as dozens of military units make their way through the country. For those who do not inherently trust our military, these exercises hold a strong threat of a build up to martial law. The major debate among Americans is whether the military exercise will remain as a training or whether it is actually intended to prepare our men and women in uniform for civil unrest. Tension continues to build as South Carolina has released reports about casualty vehicles traveling down a highway in the middle of the day. The photo made headlines after being submitted to the watchdog group Operation Jade Helm and Beyond. This is just one of several military convoys that have been seen traveling across the country. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is the government preparing for martial law? 
2	Hillary Clintons Career Could Be Over After She Was Caught Endorsing The KKK [VIDEO] This past week, Donald Trump has been under fire for being endorsed by former Ku Klux Klan member David Duke. In a recent interview, Trump was asked whether he would tell Duke that he didnt want his supportto which he responded that he didnt even know who Duke was. Now, something in Hillarys past is proving just how hypocritical the Democratic Party is. In fact, Hillary Clinton once praised ex-KKK member Robert Byrd as a friend and mentor. Senator Robert Byrd first joined the KKK when he was 24-years-old. Byrd didnt want to fight alongside race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds during World War II, according to his own writings. I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side, Byrd wrote in a 1944 letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo. In another letter two years later, Byrd wrote that the Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation. Watch the video of Hillary praising her mentor below. 
3	CISPA Will Legalize PRISM Spy ProgramEric Blair The PATRIOT Act and the FISA court led to the blanket wiretapping of every American citizen and a PRISM lens into all Internet activity for the NSA. Now we are supposed to trust this Peeping Tom government by giving them more authority for cybersecurity with theCyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA)? As George W. Bush once eloquently saidwith his patented deer-in-the-headlights conviction Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me, you cant get fooled again, see. Oh, I bet the American people will get fooled again. But its not their fault. When authority figures tell bald-faced lies to the public, most people instinctively want to believe them because the majority of people are honest and perceive others to be honest. Obama won the presidency promising to overturn Bushs draconian destruction of civil liberties in the name of fighting terror. The majority of Americans took Obama at his word and gave him the benefit of the doubt. Until now. Reuters reports today that the NSA spying scandal may complicate Obamas agenda for cybersecurity: Renewed concerns about the spy agencys domestic surveillance programs could also hamper efforts to give it a broader role in defending the countrys infrastructure, and put pressure on lawmakers to update laws protecting online privacy, say congressional aides and defense and security experts. Theyre going to make it harder to do the work that is now going on, said former chief Pentagon weapons buyer Mike Wynne, who also served as Air Force secretary from 2005 to 2008. Wynne said growing unease about domestic surveillance could have a chilling effect on proposed cyber legislation that calls for greater information-sharing between government and industry. But this is laughable. The U.S. government already has been illegally using the authority in CISPA prior to it being codified into law. At least everything Hitler did was legal before he did it. PRISM reportedly forces Internet companies to hand over information to the NSA and FBI. Some even allow a backdoor to their servers. This program has been in place for several years according to reports. The only difference between the secretive PRISM project and CISPA is that under CISPA personal data will be given to the civilian Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon by communications companies instead of the NSA. Like that matters. But even this is just window dressing for public consumption because Obama already has authorized these moves with the secret Presidential Policy Directive 20 and an Executive Order. Presidential Directive 20 shows that the government isdrawing up a target listfor offensive cyber strikes overseas, and the Executive Order outlines the flow of illegally obtained data of online activity to the DHS, NSA, and other agencies. Yes, the Pentagon already assumed the role of engaging in cyber war as part of their operational domain for offensive operations, again prior to any legal authority. In July 2011, the Pentagon announcedThe United States reserves the right, under the laws of armed conflict, to respond to serious cyber attacks with a proportional and justified military response at the time and place of our choosing. Their authority was later affirmedin the infamous 2012 NDAA which gave the U.S. military the right to launch a global offensive cyber war against perceived threats. Section 954 of the NDAA titled Military Activities in Cyberspace received no debate in Congress as well as in the media. The section states clearly: Congress affirms that the Department of Defense has the capability, and upon direction by the President may conduct offensive operations in cyberspace to defend our Nation, Allies and interests. And thanks to whistleblowers we know that telecom companies have been cooperating with government spooks for years. Significantly, all of this occurred without any public debate, probably because lawmakers understand that its a gross violation of the 4th Amendment which guarantees privacy to American citizens. Indeed, the NSA issued a secret memo urging lawmakers to rethink the 4th Amendment. This recently declassifiedmemofrom 2001 reads: The Fourth Amendment is as applicable to eSIGINT as it is to the SIGINT of yesterday and today. The Information Age will however cause us to rethink and reapply the procedures, policies and authorities born in an earlier electronic surveillance environment. Is it any wonder why Americans no longer trust their government? As President Obama said in his press conference defending the secret spying program: If Americans dont trust government, were going to have some problems. Yes, as Reuters reports, the Administration may have problems legalizing their illegal activity. And if the people are paying attention, this Administration may have even bigger problems than that.

2	Welfare Queens Furious Because Their Food Stamps Have Been Cancelled [VIDEO] Americans are becoming more and more dependent on the governments handouts, with a noticeable increase in the countrys privileged mindset. A large number of people have come to think they are in some way entitled and have earned, the governments help. The escalation in recent years is caused by the liberal policies that highlights dependency on the government for practically everything. What happens when they become solely dependent on the system? It leaves everyone with a sense of misdirection of what to do .A video from the past is going around the internet again, displaying what can occur when there is a glitch in the system that most Americans have become completely dependent upon. Welfare beneficiaries in Georgia were distraught and on the verge of rioting a few years ago when the states EBT food stamp system crashed temporarily. It is frightening to think of what lengths people will go to, to obtain the necessary means to put food on the table for themselves and their family, and what would happen if the only source is denied. How far will they go?

The photo is focused in on Malias backside, and is posted with the caption when is her prom? Docket has since faced public criticism for his sexualization of the underage girl. The media has remained surprisingly silent about the situation, which is curious in the wake of the Elizabeth Lauten incident. The media certainly felt the need to stand up for the teen against the GOP staffer. Such is not the case in this situation. What do you think of Dockets post?

Visit Reason.com Codys GG2 is 250$ for the deposit, 1250$ additionally for the device, and sh is extra. Looks great, and priced about right. so who or what suppose to be the aim of these toys?? Real human bodies delivering more blood to the hungry ones?? Or maybe in cases of some super distance range of these toys, some airplanes spraying on us the most lethal chemical fallout in form of chemtrails? A weapon is a violent answer to a violence, a dead end street, which while responding eye for eye, gets its answer: TWO EYES LOST. There is all the difference between violence and the exercise of the natural right to self defence. Unfortunately, too many folk emphasize the negative aspects of exercising that right, imagining, perhaps, that there is no such animal as a predator or no such person as a tyrant/bully. Surely there are always bullies and killers out there. BUT, the gun dilemma for a gun owner is: if you shoot somebody, even in self-defence, you just became the killer, and you will have to live with that, which might not be easy. Its easier if one acts in Conscience if an aggressor loses the use of his body as a result of his attempts to do me or mine harm the extent of which can NEVER in the moment be accurately assessed then this is analogous to the individual jumping off a cliff and seeing what happens. There need be no violence or wish to harm in the act of self-defence; just that most times some of that is mixed up in it. instead of guns, maybe Cody could print dental prostheses, implant, etc., in some very esthetic way, to support overall health and beauty of human civilization, instead of trying to scare it, or even eliminate?? So many people need teeth these days, while being exposed to the GMO junk food, etc

2	BREAKING: Obama To Release ANOTHER Terrorist From Gitmo Well, even after receiving tremendous backlash for releasing five prisoners from Guantanamo Bay, it looks like the Obama administration might have more coming. According to the New York Post, the board in charge of Gitmo prisoners have cleared almost half of the remaining prisoners for release. And wait, we arent finished yetthey are still reviewing the potential release of even more. According to the article, the board has cleared 78 of the 149 prisoners for release. And more reviews are scheduled for this summer. Although the requirements for clearance vary, one prisoner was allegedly released for taking up yoga and developing a positive attitude. Now, one prisoner up for potential release is Abdel Malik Wahab al Rahabia former bodyguard for the one and only Osama bin Laden. Al-Rahabi has stated that he wants to open a milk and honey farm once he is released. This vision of a peaceful future is driving the board to actually consider it. David Remes is representing al-Rahabi during his legal proceedings, and claimed that his client wants nothing more than to study, teach, and start farming. According to Remes, he also has desires to spend time with his daughter, who is now a teenager.Those protesting the release are making the argument that a changed perspective on life does not free those being detained from their crimesor their punishments. What do you think? Should the government be letting these guys walk? 
3	Attorney Suggests Suing U.S. Federal Government and Big Pharma Regarding VaccinationsBy Catherine J. Frompovich James Robert Deal, JD, a Washington state attorney, has considered horrendous vaccine damages caused and suffered, the lack of informed consent, and that No entity under the sun has the right or lawful authority to arrogate [claim/appropriate/misappropriate] power unto itself to harm or injure, sicken or infect, paralyze or kill the people of this nation. Not only is such conduct by the state a serious breach of the social contract, it represents a profound violation of the public trust. Vaccination programs therefore break the inviolable bond between the citizenry and the government. [1] Attorney Deals legal opinion is one that I have held for numerous years. Why has it taken so long for someone to decide to act upon the violations of public trust and the breach of social contract, if citizens of the USA are supposed to live in a free society? Where are our rights of self-determination? Do children belong to their parents, or to the state? Good questions? The answers to my questions probably can be found in Attorney Deals realizing that something has to be done in Washington State regarding the overbearing mandatory vaccine agenda. Deal prepared a report, which can be read here wherein he lists many of the mea culpas involved with regard to vaccines, vaccinology science, fraud and deceit, and apparent collusion between federal agencies and Big Pharma. In Deals report he states: It is lazy language to say that vaccines are safe and effective, because that implies that all vaccines are safe and effective for all people. In fact, some vaccines have done great harm. If you doubt this, read the findings of the Vaccine Court, which has paid out around $3.0 billion to children for adverse reactions which admits were caused by vaccines. Go to www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/opinion-search and search for measles-mumps-rubella or influenza. And read the package inserts that come with vaccine boxes. You may also read them online at www.immunize.org/packageinserts . [1] Personally, I feel its more than lazy language; its criminal since no vaccines have been tested for their abilities to cause cancer, birth defects, or interfere with reproduction or fertility! Furthermore, with all the animal viruses that have been found and acknowledged in vaccines over the years, which I talk about in my book Vaccination Voodoo, who knows what type of diseases are being spawned by vaccines given to children within 24 hours of birth? Deal goes on to say, The flu vaccine is big business, particularly the ones containing mercury. Some 300 million doses are sold, while only 20 million doses of all other vaccines are sold. In 1986 the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program made vaccine manufacturers immune from most liability, and in 2011 the Supreme Court twisted the plain language of the Vaccine Act to make vaccine manufacturers, hospitals, and physicians completely immune from absolutely ALL liability, reasoning that vaccines in general using the language of the Court are unavoidably unsafe. [1] With overly dramatic increases in the rates of autism, ADD, ADHD, childhood diabetes, and other chronic old-age-type diseases for children since the ramp up of mandated vaccines, it is incumbent upon society to take federal and state agencies, plus Big Pharma and vaccine makers, to task and exercise the basic human right to self-preservation when faced with threats to our health, well-being and children. This ought to get readers juices riled up about vaccines: Further, one who is vaccinated sheds viruses, and so one can be infected not only by those who contract a wild case of measles but also by those recently vaccinated. Moreover, the MMR is not particularly effective In an October 2011 outbreak in Canada, over 50% of the 98 individuals had received two doses of measles vaccine. The Los Angeles Times and the Everett Herald printed an article entitled Vaccine ignorance proving deadly and contagious. It was written not by physicians or scientists but by prominent members of the Council on Foreign Relations. It contains numerous inaccuracies scientific, historical, and legal. [1] [CJF emphasis added] Nothing is more impressive AND FACTUAL a statement than what Attorney Deal says here: A mother is not a vaccine denier if she questions the safety of a vaccine containing mercury, aluminum, MSG, antibiotics, eggs, or formaldehyde. Or Beta HCG hormone. Or the urabi virus . She is not a denier if her child is frail or has already had an adverse vaccine reaction and she chooses to opt her child out. She is not a denier if she questions giving children 49 injections of 14 vaccines by age six, including a vaccine at birth for hepatitis B, a disease usually infecting IV drug users. Nor is she a denier if she declines the CDC recommendation that she take the flu vaccine (containing mercury) when she is pregnant, even though the flu vaccine is not tested for safety for pregnant women and fetuses and the FDA advises it be used only if clearly needed. The last sentence above is paramount as to why vaccines must be declared unsafe! Science, medicine, or government should not mandate injecting into a pregnant female something that has not been proven possibly to harm her fetus! That unconscionable edict alone should be brought as criminal charges under the Nuremberg Code [2], as those vaccines are experiments not tested for safety. Before I end, Id like to point out this from Attorney Deals report: Some vaccines are ineffective. Discover Magazine reported that 73 percent of kids aged 7 to 10 who caught pertussis in 2012 in Washington had been fully vaccinated. The same is true for the measles vaccine. A child vaccinated with a live virus vaccine experiences a mild version of the infection and is thus contagious and infects others. Outbreaks of measles and pertussis probably come from the vaccinated, not from the unvaccinated. The artificial immunity conferred by vaccines wears off, and boosters are required, making vaccines a cash machine that generates $30 billion yearly. [1] That and much morelike the toxic ingredients and what they do in the body from peer-reviewed studies, I discuss in my 2013 book, Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines, and to which Id like to add another subtitle, And which you should know before its too late. I congratulate Attorney Deal for what hes doing in Washington State and encourage every attorney to take a similar legal position in each of the 50 states, plus file a class action lawsuit against the federal government agencies involved with pushing dangerous vaccines together with their manufacturers and Big Pharma.

The data is out there if you choose to look. Every day our decision not to vaccinate our children is reinforced. I totally agree that no one should be subjected to coerced vaccination. We might want to be careful though about using the Nuremberg Code as a talking point. Someone please correct me, but I think that the Nuremberg Code describes requirements for experimentation on human subjects. A pro-vaxxer could easily say, but this is not an experiment, this is proven medicine! Yeah, I think it is a stupid response, but to a pro-vaxxer it makes sense. Using Nuremberg weakens our arguments. If there are other parts of international law that require patient consent for orthodox medical treatment, those laws would be a better talking point. 
3	FBI Quietly Adds Civil Fingerprint Collection to Criminal DatabaseBy Joshua Krause Originally, the FBI rarely held on to fingerprints that werent related to a crime (at least that we know of) and even when they did keep them, they werent readily accessible. But now the FBI has merged their criminal database with the civil database. This means that anytime your prints are submitted to the FBI for any reason, they are lumped together with those belonging to criminals. And this doesnt just apply to high-profile jobs that require a security clearance, this includes just about any job with the federal government. It also applies to many private fields that require a license (this could include security guards, lawyers, contractors, nurses, etc). California alone submits 1.2 million sets of fingerprints to the feds every year. Not only does this increase the chances of innocent people getting caught up in criminal cases, its an egregious violation of our rights. By collecting this information into a criminal database, theyre essentially treating ordinary citizens like criminals before theyre ever charged with a crime.

Think they might be up to something illegal? Think they may not have a problem violating their oath to the Constitution? No surprise. So what exactly does this mean i.e. Fingerprints which parents were encouraged to submit for their children in the event of being abducted or missing, are these included in the database??

2	Texas Curriculum Mandates Islamic Terrorists Be Called Freedom Fighters According to some shocking new reports, a high school class in Lumberton, Texas was given a highly controversial world geography lesson on Islam. Female students were encouraged to wear burqas, and students were even told to refer to terrorists as freedom fighters. The students were taught that Egypts problems were brought on by democracy. The issue, according to the teacher, was being resolved by the Muslim Brotherhood. Of course, once parents got word of the lessons being taught to their children, outrage erupted. State Senator Dan Patrick, the chairman of the Texas Senate Education Committee has spoken out against the lesson, claiming that it appeared to be anti-American. He went on to say that the lesson denigrated democracy, and showed an unfair religious preference toward Islam. The school is blaming the incident on CSCOPE, a left wing curriculum that has been implemented in some schools. And this is just one in many efforts to start incorporating Islam into teaching. What do you think? Would you let your student attend this class?

1	As the nation recovers from Hurricane Sandy, Florida State University researchers released a report Wednesday revealing that the only circumstance in which Americans would ever pay any attention at all to the issue of climate change would be if film actress Julia Roberts were killed in a hurricane. Our data suggest that Julia Roberts will either have to drown in rising floodwaters or be crushed to death as 170-mile-per-hour winds demolish her home before the country even acknowledges global warming, said the studys lead author, Dr. Brooke Langley, adding that the widely beloved star of Erin Brockovich and Pretty Woman would need to be killed in no less than a Category 1 tropical cyclone for the populace to notice that irregular climate shifts pose a very real threat to humanity. Even if millions are killed and entire cities are washed away, only the sight of Ms. Roberts pale, lifeless corpse lying amid storm wreckage will convince Americans to have open and frank discussions about the disastrous effects of greenhouse-gas emissions. And even then, theres no telling if it will be enough for the country to actively take any steps to reduce them. At press time, disappointed climatologists confirmed that Julia Roberts remains alive and was entirely unharmed by Hurricane Sandy.

1	According to a report released this week by the National Institutes of Health, the leading causes of death in the United States have markedly decreased in overall coolness over the last century, with researchers noting a sharp and steady decline in the number of Americans who have died from steam-engine boiler room mishaps, being ripped apart by ravenous wolves, and sustaining a pitchfork directly to the gut. Historically, Americans have been known to meet their demise in any number of untimely, mind-blowing ways, from being stampeded by runaway cattle to having their head crushed by a 2-ton block of falling ice they had hoisted into the air off the back of a wagonyet these awesome fates have been almost entirely replaced by heart disease and diabetes, said lead researcher Dr. Stan Rosen, emphasizing that there has not been one recorded death from being kicked by an ornery horse and stumbling backward into an open well in the past 100 years. The average life expectancy in the U.S. has climbed to 75.6 years as fewer and fewer Americans die from cameras with exploding flashbulbs, grisly full-body infections caused by a single splinter, or putting on pants that happened to have a coiled rattlesnake resting inside them. Nowadays, citizens are succumbing to completely unentertaining demises, often from natural causes, which is terribly boring for the rest of us. Rosen added that the easiest way to regain lost coolness is to nationally reinstate dueling as the preferred means of conflict resolution.

2	Obama Is Baffled After Federal Judge Amy Berman Brings Down The Hammer On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman made a huge ruling against Obama. She was deciding on Obamas claims of his executive privilege over the Fast Furious ordeal. Judge Berman ruled that Obama did not have the power to deny Congress access to the records of the Fast Furious Operation, which allowed thousands of guns to cross the border into Mexico. Obama is doing his best to hold on until he leaves office. This case has been going on for years, and its unlikely that it will end before his term. However, this is a huge step in moving forward. Obama seems to think his executive power allows him to do literally anything he wants. He needs to be put in his place. Should Obama be impeached for overreaching his executive power?

Just days after the Supreme Court made the controversial decision to legalize gay marriage, a new bill is being introduced by Republicans to protect the religious liberties and beliefs of those who oppose same-sex coupling. According to reports, H.R. 2802 was introduced by Idaho representative Raul Labrador, with the intention of preventing discriminatory treatment of any person on the basis of views held with respect to marriage. The bill will protect the tax-exempt status of churches and organizations that chose not to perform or support same-sex unions. It would also prevent liberals from altering in any way the Federal tax treatment of, or cause any tax, penalty, or payment to be assessed against, or deny, delay, or revoke an exemption from taxation under section 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. This bill could be the key to protecting our religious liberties. Do you support it?

Look Whose Behind It [VIDEO] Over the past few days, it has been revealed that the protests that led to the cancellation of the Donald Trump rally at the University of Chicago was instigated by the George Soros-funded group on MoveOn.org. The organization reportedly worked with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and the Black Lives Matter movement. Now, footage has revealed that shows were fired outside the event after the cancellation was announced in celebration. Those shots came from a Black Lives Matter protester. Twitter user Jaamal Williams decided to pull a really smart move and post a video of himself firing a semi-automatic assault weapon into the air with the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter. Of course, as soon as the video started going viral, Williams account disappeared. Not before screen shots were taken of his intelligent comments on social media. Suddenly, the Williams account became Rob K a man who argued that he made up the Williams account. Whoever Williams claims to be, one thing is for sure. Williams fired the shots into a city that has some of the strictest gun control laws in the country. It is also President Barack Obamas hometown, where there have been 578 shooting victims so far this year. What do you think? Do these protesters deserve to be punished for their actions? 
3	Skin Probiotics Offer Best Defense Against MRSA InfectionsCase Adams Researchers from the University of California at San Diego have determined that healthy skin bacteria serve as defense mechanisms against infection, and can fight off even the sometimes deadly MRSA infection. This of course explains why not everyone who comes into contact with the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria or any other skin infective agent for that matter becomes infected. The researchers tested a typical skin (probiotic) bacteria Propionibacterium acnes against MRSA in several settings. The researchers conducted laboratory studies by growing cultures of Propionibacterium acnes with and without their preferred food medium of glycerol, and tested these varying cultures against a species of MRSA bacteria known to be one of the most fatal the USA300 species. The research found those Propionibacterium acnes cultures with greater glycerol mediums significantly inhibited the growth of the MRSA bacteria. Those Propionibacterium acnes mediums with less glycerol had less resistance against the MRSA bacteria. Propionibacterium acnes bacteria feed off of the glycerol produced by the bodys sebaceous glands. One of the central mechanisms of Propionibacterium acnes ability to inhibit MRSA was through a biochemical called propionic acid. The researchers isolated the propionic acid from the skin probiotic and found that propionic acid in itself significantly inhibited the colonization of MRSA. The researchers then tested the ability of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria to prevent infection on the skin of mice. The Propionibacterium acnes bacteria cultures significantly inhibited MRSA infections at even greater degrees than within the laboratory. The researchers also found that the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria tended to colonize into and around any wounds on the skin of the mice thereby preventing MRSA infection into the wound. The research discovered this ability to prevent MRSA infection on the skin and into wounds was due not only to the Propionibacterium acnes ability to inhibit MRSA biochemically: Propionibacterium acnes along with another skin probiotic, Staphylococcus epidermidis, stimulate the release of the bodys own immunity mechanisms through activating Toll-like receptors. The human skin contains about ten times the number of probiotic bacteria than skin cells. Propionibacterium acnes bacteria make up approximately half of the total probiotic bacteria living on the skin. Meanwhile antibiotics applied to the skin will produce a die-off of these important skin bacteria which leaves the skin vulnerable to infection once the antibiotics wear off. Learn more about probiotics and antibiotics. Compounding this risk, MRSA and other infective microorganisms are now resistant to many antibiotics. This means that a topically applied antibiotic might kill our skin probiotics while allowing MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Is it a coincidence that hospitals places where the most antibiotics are applied or prescribed have the greatest rate of infection of these antibiotic-resistant microorganisms? This of course is why infections of these microorganisms also have been dubbed hospital acquired infections. Case Adams is a California Naturopath and holds a Ph.D. in Natural Health Sciences.

On an appearance on Fox Friends on Monday, the former presidential candidate expressed his frustration about the provocative performance. I think it was outrageous, Giuliani commented. It was terrible. He then went on to reflect on a time when halftime shows were decent, wholesome entertainment rather than a platform to attack our nations hardworking law enforcement officers. I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers, who are the people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive, he continued. And what we should be doing in the African-American community, and all communities, is build up respect for police officers, and focus on the fact that when something does go wrong, okay, well work on that. But that vast majority of police officers risk their lives to keep us safe, he concluded. What do you think? Do you agree with Giuliani? 
3	Indiana House Approves Welfare Drug Test BillPhillip Smith The bill would require all adult recipients of Temporary Aid for Needy Families (TANF) benefits to undergo an assessment to see if there is reasonable suspicion that they might be using illicit drugs. Recipients who are deemed suspicious would then go into a pool for random drug testing, with half of the pool members being subjected to drug testing. People who fail the drug test would lose their benefits unless they enrolled in a drug treatment program and produced negative results on future drug tests. Repeated positive drug tests could result in the permanent loss of benefits. The House approved the bill despite a legislative staff financial analysis that showed the state would spend $2.7 million on the program to possibly the save the state $1.5 million in denied benefits. That means the state would lose $1.2 million next year if the bill were to become law. Please visit and support StopTheDrugWar.org to help end prohibition. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Citing a general feeling that it has been a while since one last occurred, the FBI warned Monday that the nation should prepare for the possibility of some kind of crazy, cult-related mass suicide. FBI officials warn there could be another one of these things any minute now. 'It is our opinion that members of a fringe organization somewhere in the United States will more than likely engage in a sizable group suicide very soon,' FBI director Robert Mueller told reporters at an early morning press conference. 'I mean, can you believe we've gone this long without one? It's been what10, 12 years? Too long. You just know some charismatic nutjob's planning something totally insane that's gonna be like, 'Whoa. Those people are nuts.' Right?' Mueller explained that the act could be carried out by an isolated sect that sees itself as the victim of a government conspiracy, or perhaps a religious movement wanting its members to cleanse their souls prior to a significant astronomical event. Whatever the circumstances, he warned, all Americans should steel themselves for the grisly details of 'a big group of weirdos knocking themselves off in a bizarre, ritualistic fashion.' While the FBI offered few specifics on how the suicides are likely to take place, it did not rule out the possibility of cult members ingesting cyanide at the behest of their leaders, engaging in self-immolation, or 'just chopping their balls off or whatever.' Mueller can't believe we've gone this long without a bunch of 'believers' drinking lethal Kool-Aid. 'At this time, we lack any hard evidence on the likelihood of this phenomenon,' said psychologist Mike Sacks, author of the recent book A Huge Cult Suicide: Any Day Now, For Sure. 'But what we're primarily working from is this gut sensation that we're gonna turn on the news some day soon and hear about a bunch of guys dressing up in matching jumpsuits, lying on the ground in a circle formation, and just wiping themselves out in spectacular fashion.' 'Could even be tomorrow if there are meteor showers or something,' Sacks added. 'These freaks love that shit.' According to the Justice Department, state and local law enforcement agencies have been placed on high alert and informed that, before long, they can expect to stumble across the mutilatedor perhaps perfectly preservedcorpses of anywhere between a dozen and several hundred cult members. When asked to define what would constitute a major cult suicide, federal officials confirmed that a protracted and confusing siege ending with embattled separatists barricading themselves inside a compound and dying under mysterious circumstances would 'definitely' count. 'Oh, absolutely, yes,' Attorney General Eric Holder said in a telephone interview. 'Because, really, that's basically like suicide, you know? If a group engages in a standoff with federal agents over its right to stockpile illegal weapons or forcibly marry children, sure, we could easily chalk that up as a cult suicide, no problem.' On Monday afternoon, cult researchers and specialists issued a press release declaring that the threat of a major ritual death event is now so high they have reset the National Mass Suicide Clock to 11:59 p.m. 'We know there are cults out there somewhere, so it's not a question of if, but when,' said Mueller, concluding his remarks to reporters. 'If I were a magnetic, demented guru with a thirst for power and teenage girls, what I would do is organize a parish of desperate, unemployed locals in, say, Pocatello, ID; rent a condo; and convince them all to swallow a handful of sedatives, tie a plastic bag around their heads, and leave behind their earthly forms in order to ascend to star HD 129893 before the next penumbral lunar eclipse. It's fast, it's simple, and it might even solve a lot of their problems.' Added Mueller, 'Just something to think about.' 
2	City Arrests Pastors For Refusing To Perform Gay Weddings Its one thing to amend the law to support gay marriage, but its entirely another to force religious entities to perform them. Such is the case for two Christian ministers who own a wedding chapel in Couer dAlene, Idaho. The pair is facing some serious fines and even jail time for refusing to perform same-sex ceremonies. Right now they are at risk of being prosecuted, attorney Jeremy Tedesco from the Alliance Defending Freedom told a Fox News reporter. The threat of enforcement is more than credible. Still, many argue that the Hitching Post Wedding Chapel, owned by Donald and Evelyn Knapp, is not responsible for accommodating ceremonies that fall outside of their beliefs. ADF argues that the Chapel is not a church, but a for-profit business, meaning that they must obey an ordinance that prohibits businesses from discriminating based on sexual orientation. Legal representation for the gay couple argue that the chapel is designed to be a place of the public accommodation, and since same-sex marriage is now legal in Idaho, they must follow the law. If enforced, the Knapps could face a $1,000 fine and up to 180 days in jail. What do you think? Should the Knapps be punished for standing by their beliefs?

2	If You Are Not Careful This Can Happen To You At The Checkout Line Identity theft is one of the most common crimes in the United States. According to a 2015 Identity Fraud Study, $16 billion was stolen from $12.7 million consumers in this country, and that number is only growing year over year. Today, its easier than ever for criminals to copy the details of your ATM card, so that it can be cloned. Once theyve done this, all they need is your PIN code and they have free access to your bank account. Card Skimming is the newest technique thieves are using to steal someones PIN code using an iPhone. Watch the video below for more information about how to prevent it from happening to you. 
1	While emphasizing that they hate even talking about this type of thing, the nation revealed today that, if theyre being honest, they are secretly hoping their dads die first. Look, obviously I dont want either of my parents to die, but if one of the two had to go first, I have to say it would be much more sad and awful to see Dad try to move on without Mom than the other way around, said David Hill, 34, echoing the privately held beliefs of millions of Americans who feel their mother is far more suited to live out life as a widow, and Christ, they just dont think their dads would have it in them to recover from a blow like that. Just the image of him sitting at the kitchen table by himself hurts to think about. You know, not really going anywhere or being sure of what to do. I mean, Mom has Linda and Leanne if anything happened to him. I know shed be okay. But Dad? I dont know about that. The nations citizens then reportedly became quiet after imagining their fathers going out to eat at a diner alone.

1	Aiming to settle the longstanding debate over LeBron James place within basketball history, Grantland editor-in-chief Bill Simmons reportedly stepped into an interdimensional vortex Thursday to determine if the Miami Heat star would have dominated in other NBA eras. Reports confirmed the longtime ESPN columnist created various ripples in the fabric of space-time and opened the door to an infinite cascade of universes in which James matched up against the best players from each period of NBA history. We can already label LeBron as the best player of his generationthat debate is all but overbut the big question is whether he would have been the top guy during the way more physical, pre-hand-check-rule NBA, said Simmons, who reportedly warped through a cluster of dark matter to watch James face off against the Chicago Bulls in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals as a member of Chuck Dalys Detroit Pistons. He just wouldnt get the calls back then that he gets in 2014. That said, even with players literally getting clotheslined while driving to the basket, LeBron is big enough and strong enough to cope with the physicality of the 90s, continued Simmons, carefully watching as James received the ball from Isaiah Thomas and then darted through Scottie Pippen and Bill Cartwright for a heavily contested dunk. But I still cant see him winning more than two championships while the Bulls were at their peak. Hed win, but he wouldnt have a dynasty. Pinning the four-time MVP against a variety of iconic players such as Bill Russell, Jerry West, and Larry Bird, Simmons reportedly vibrated his subatomic particles through a number of time streams and planes of reality, enabling the sports columnist to venture across any conceivable point within limitless parallel universes in order to appraise the theoretical scenarios in person. LeBron is, in a lot of ways, the most complete player weve ever seen, especially in terms of pure physical attributes and basketball IQ, Simmons said as every molecule in his body gradually materialized in the mouth of a Lorentzian traversable wormhole that opened courtside at the Forum in 1985. And based on how hes holding his own against Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar], whos arguably the toughest player to guard ever, theres no doubt that he would have been a powerhouse during the Magic-Bird era of the 80s. Sources indicated that Simmons then manipulated the universal wave function to enter an isolated pocket dimension where Oscar Robertson, his body retroactively strengthened by modern 21st-century training methods and diet regimens, narrowly lost to James in a one-on-one game held in an endless expanse of empty white space. However, while occupying a Hubble volume within the Level III multiverse hypothesized by Dr. Max Tegmark, the 44-year-old sports writer reportedly questioned whether James would have been as prolific a scorer in the 1960s after seeing the 1964 Boston Celtics beat the 2012 Miami Heat in a 1010,000,000-game series. No one is questioning his skills, but he just doesnt have that killer instinct that Jordan had, Simmons said as a team of five 28-year-old Michael Jordans defeated five 28-year-old LeBron Jamesesa discovery that led the Grantland editor-in-chief to conclude that the Jordans were clearly playing in full-blown Eff You mode. LeBrons definitely in the conversation of best player ever, but MJ is still at the top of the pyramid. At the end of the day, Jordan is the CT to LeBrons Adam on The Challengetheres only going to be one winner in a head-to-head matchup, added Simmons, the dissonant echoes of his voice repeating at various octaves in an infinite, crescendoing loop. According to reports, Simmons continued to venture into increasingly divergent quantum branches, at one point watching James record two touchdowns and 131 yards as a wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns during a regular-season loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Simmons reportedly went on to lateras well as earlier and simultaneouslytravel at the speed of light along an arcwise-connected manifold and enter a timeline in which John F. Kennedy survived Lee Harvey Oswalds 1963 assassination attempt and where a James-led Team USA subsequently won gold over the Soviet Union at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Baghdad. LeBron is obviously a Pantheon-level guy who would have been an All-Star in any decade, said Simmons, his very being and consciousness spreading apart along a 26-dimensional space comprised of bosonic strings. But the fact remains that he struggled to take alpha dog status from Wilt Chamberlain when they played together on the San Francisco Warriors, and he was Robin to Jabari Parkers Batman when the Milwaukee Bucks won their second straight championship in 2017. At press time, a satisfied Bill Simmons migrated into a gravitational vacuum linked to an alternate reality to view the season-nine premiere of the hit NBC show Friday Night Lights. 
1	Scoffing at the idea of letting some so-called expert charge him an arm and a leg, local father Dave Gordin told reporters Wednesday that he is fully capable of fixing his marriage himself. Ive got pretty much everything I need to patch this thing up right here at home, said Godin, adding he could always run out to the bookstore for any relationship guides he might need to get the marriage back up and running smoothly. These phony professionals are just going to rip you off, and half the time they leave your marriage in worse shape than it was before. Its usually just a small issue with communication anyway, so Ill just open up emotionally and itll be good as new. Its nothing I cant knock out in a week or two. At press time, a frustrated Godin was beginning to wonder if it might be easier to just scrap this marriage and go out and get a new one. 
2	New Compromising Evidence Shows That Sandy Hooks Was Staged According to recent reports, a $1 trillion lawsuit has been filed against Big Media for their coverage of the Sandy Hook massacre. The suit was initiated by filmmaker and author William Brandon Shanley. After exhaustive research, the good news is that overwhelming evidence reveals that no children or teachers died at Sandy Hook two years ago, Shanley said in a statement. For relief, I have filed lawsuits against the media in US District Court in New Haven for Fraud and Terrorism. Here is an example of abundant evident, Exhibit D: The Connecticut State Police dash cams record no evacuation of children from school at critical moments. Stanleys complaint goes on to state the following: These crimes were undertaken with the intent of subverting the US Constitution and to affect national, state and local laws. This fraud involved lying to the public, faking news, publishing one-sided news reports, censoring reality, suppressing facts, and deliberately skewing the news to shift public perceptions. The true costs of this breach of integrity and trust to society are unfathomable. Instead of fulfilling their Constitutional Role as the Peoples Surrogates and being honest brokers of information, the Plaintiff will show how the men and women who dominate the TV news industry in the United States broke laws, besmirched the First Amendment, their Constitutional role as government watchdogs, and forfeited the right to report the news, and thereby profit from news production and distribution. The sine qua non of journalism is the search for truthA democracy cannot survive this tyranny over human consciousness. What do you think of the incident at Sandy Hook? Was it staged? 
1	Citizens spoke before Congress Monday in support of Tony's Law, a Senate measure that would require all marijuana-law offenders to inform their neighbors if they're holding. If enacted, Tony's Law will require illegal-drug offenders to announce their status. 'Right now, countless Americans are living on the very same blocks as convicted illegal-drug users,' said Sharon Logan of the Weed For Tony Coalition. 'Without a federal mandate requiring full disclosure, how are unsuspecting residents supposed to find any decent weed?' Designed to protect Americans from dry spells, Tony's Law was named after 19-year-old New Jersey resident Tony DiCenzo, who went nine months without getting high before discovering that he lived in the same apartment building as a reliable marijuana source. 'Can you imagine the shock and anger Tony must have felt when he found out that the guy on the second floor possessed the Schedule I federal controlled substance?' Logan said. 'The offender could have invited poor Tony into his apartment to smoke some at any time. It's heartbreaking.' Tony's Law would create a national public registry of drug-law offenders' names, addresses, and pager numbers. Additionally, offenders charged with dealing marijuana would be required to either post signs or go door-to-door and let neighbors know when they're holding. Privacy-rights groups oppose the legislation on the grounds that it violates the individual's right to a stash, but Austin, TX's James W. Clancy is one of many stoner-rights lawyers who traveled to Washington to rally in favor of the law's passage. A convicted drug user in Kenner, LA informs his neighbor that he has the number of a guy. 'Millions of Americans love to be high,' Clancy said. 'Unfortunately, their neighbors often keep them in the dark about what kind of shit is going around.' Clancy and other proponents of Tony's Law argued that the bill would result in increased domestic trade in consumer snack products and a heightened sense of community and well-being. More powerful, perhaps, were the personal testimonials of hundreds of drug-drought victims, who stood before lawmakers to share their experiences with dope deprivation. 'As a parent, I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to finding weed,' Minneapolis resident Kyle Berman said. 'All my wife and I wanted to be able to do was get Tina and Tyler to bed, put on a movie, and smoke a joint. It wasn't until the police busted the guy across the street for growing marijuana that we realized how close we'd come to actually finding some pot. A whole set-up with lamps and everything was less than 50 feet from our living room. It sickens me to think about it.' Several lawmakers have spoken out in opposition to Tony's Law, largely due to what Rep. Chris Chocola (R-IN) called 'complications stemming from the illegality of marijuana.' Nonetheless, the bill's many devoted supporters said they'll continue their fight. 'After nine months of hell, Tony eventually found a hook-up through the friend of a guy whose brother met someone at a former girlfriend's birthday party,' activist Stephen Miller said. 'In spite of the nightmare he was going through, Tony didn't give up...and neither will we.' 
1	Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Savior of All Mankind, and current defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State, said Monday that He would not accept Notre Dame's 3-year, $5.6 million offer to coach the Fighting Irish. 'I love Notre Dame and respect their football legacy, but no matter what you've accomplished before coaching there, once you're a Golden Domer, the expectations, frankly, are unrealistic,' said Christ, whose family has been involved with the university since its founding. 'I've had people turn on Me before, and it really put Me through hell. But even more importantly, I've made a commitment to stay with the Blue Raiders through 2015.' Christ denied asking Notre Dame to remove His likeness from the building overlooking their stadium, saying He liked a good joke as much as anybody. 
2	Welfare Leeches In This State Loose It After They Receive This Devastating News According to recent reports, food stamp recipients in North Carolina are about to be required to meet work requirements in order to keep receiving benefits. 2,814 of 45,000 beneficiaries are will be affected by the bill, which was signed into law by Governor Pat McCroy last month. The law reinstates previous federal work requirements, which were originally part of The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. The requirements were removed after the 2008 recession. The measure means that all childless, able-bodied adults between 18 and 49 have to meet a certain level of standards before receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance. Recipients will be given three months to find a job, or face losing their benefits for up to three years. What do you think of the measure?

3	Report: $8.5 trillion unaccounted for by Pentagon; $5.8 billion of supplies lost...Madison Ruppert The fact that the Pentagon spends funds on unneeded and/or unused equipment is far from news. However, the Reuters investigation revealed that the waste is far beyond what was previously known. Much of the wasteful spending is done by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), a fact which they apparently recognize. We have about $14 billion of inventory for lots of reasons, and probably half of that is excess to what we need, said Navy Vice Admiral Mark Harnitchek, the director of the DLA, to aviation industry executives in August. As of September 30, 2012, the DLA and military services had on order some $733 million worth of excess supplies. As defined by the Department of Defense, excess inventory includes anything that exceeds a three-year supply. Some of the Pentagons purchases appear to make very little sense. Despite having a 14-year supply of a part of the front suspension of military Humvees as of November 2008, the DLA purchased more. An April 2013 Pentagon inspector general report noted that the Pentagon bought 7,437 more from 2010 through 2012 at prices higher than the massive number already in storage. Stephen Abney, the spokesman for the Joint Munitions Command, said that over one-third of the weapons and munitions held at command depots are obsolete. Keeping all those useless bullets, explosives, missiles, rifles, rocket launchers and other munitions costs tens of millions of dollars a year, Reuters reports. Yet it is cheaper in the short term for the military to store the equipment than to destroy it, according to Keith Byers, ammunition manager at Letterkenny Joint Munitions Command store. Still, the military is forced to destroy some equipment, and Letterkenny recently received funding to destroy 15,000 recoilless rifles that were last used in World War II. One of the larger problems, however, is the lack of transparency and accountability when it comes to Pentagon spending. Reuters reports that their investigation found that the Pentagon appears to be unable to keep track of their huge collection of equipment. Indeed, they report that the Pentagon now has a backlog of over $500 billion in unaudited contracts and the department repeatedly falls prey to fraud and theft that can go undiscovered for years. In a September 2012 report, the Pentagon inspector general found that the Army alone lost track of $5.8 billion of supplies between 2003 and 2011, something which left some units with equipment shortages. The Pentagon does not comply with the law requiring annual audits of all government departments, leaving $8.5 trillion in funding allocated by Congress since 1996 unaccounted for. Legislation passed in 2009 requires the Defense Department to be ready for an audit by 2017, but Reuters believes this deadline will not be met. They point out that the Pentagon uses thousands of different, outdate and mostly incompatible accounting systems. An advisory group of business leaders appointed by the secretary of defense reported in January 2012 that the Pentagon was using some 5,000 different accounting and business systems, though no one knows for sure how many systems are in use. The Reuters report troublingly notes that some defense agencies would put false numbers into reports in order to make their books comport with those of the Treasury. Indeed, the Reuters investigation found that fudging the accounts with false entries is standard operating procedure in many defense agencies.

3	Prescription-Drug-Induced Violence Medicines Best Kept Secret?Data Based Medicine Americas Ltd. announces free online tool to show possible links between prescription drugs and violence. Violence and other potentially criminal behavior caused by prescription drugs are medicines best kept secret, says Dr. David Healy, a world-renowned psychiatrist who has written extensively about the lack of data in evidence-based medicine, including in his latest book, Pharmageddon. Healy says this is a global issue, with medical, legal, ethical, and profound public policy dimensions. Never before in the fields of medicine and law have there been so many events with so much concealed data and so little focused expertise. Can prescription drugs cause you to kill someone? Absolutely, says Healy. The Violence Zone allows users to enter the name of a prescription drug and see the side effects relating to violent acts and thoughts that have been reported to the FDAs MedWatch System since 2004, as well as to RxISK, for more than 35,000 drug names from 103 countries. The data is presented in tables, tag clouds, heat maps, and interactive graphs, showing whats happening with other people taking the same drug around the world and in a users community. We are collecting this critical information directly from patients one report at a time, says Healy. As more reports are filed, the RxISK database will become the most comprehensive source of independent information on what prescription drugs do and their capacities to relieve aggression or to trigger violence. Dr. Dee Mangin, Data Based Medicines Chief Medical Officer and a professor and Director of Research in the Department of Public Health and General Practice at the University of Otago in New Zealand, says, Violence has not traditionally been seen as a medical problem, but the range of drugs now linked to violence has grown, including drugs used in smoking cessation, dermatology, asthma, weight loss, insomnia, and behavior. Mangin says some drugs can also cause vivid, frightening dreams. Its important to find out if there is a connection between violent dreams or thoughts and your prescriptions so that adjustments can be made before you act on them.

1	According to White House sources, President Obama took a break from his national security briefing today in order to wait for just the right moment to stroll casually past an unsuspecting group of visitors taking the daily 9:30 a.m. guided tour of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 'Man, the look on their faces when they turn the corner and I'm just standing thereit's going to be insane,' the president reportedly said while peering from behind a slightly ajar door in the West Wing and debating whether he should quickly cross behind the guide so the visitors would not even be sure they saw him, or sneak up behind the group and ask a question about White House history as if he were part of the tour. 'I mean, they are totally going to shit their pants when they see me. This is going to be amazing.' Obama added that once he made his introduction, he planned on handing the person at the front of the group his presidential pen and casually joking that he didn't want to see it ending up on eBay. 
1	When Steve Gibson first became casually involved with an online community of mustard makers, he had no idea his mild interest in the condiment would, within a few short months, spiral dangerously out of control. But Gibson, unlike so many others, managed to get out before the hobby consumed his entire life. 'I don't know how I wound up at that point, but thank God I escaped when I did,' Gibson, 41, said Friday. 'There I was, a grown man, planning a trip to the Mustard Museum in Wisconsin, when suddenly I heard a voice deep within me say, 'This is not what you want your life to be about.'' 'It was like waking up from a bad dream,' Gibson added. 'A bad yellow and brown dream.' Gibson's descent into the depths of mustard obsession started innocently enough, when he got involved in an Internet exchange about the best kind of mustard to use on a grilled bratwurst. When someone posted a link encouraging him to 'click on this if you really want to spice things up,' he took the stranger's advice and suddenly found himself on MustardMonster.com, a discussion group devoted to the cultivation, preparation, and enjoyment of the table-side condiment. 'I immediately realized I was out of my league,' Gibson said of his first encounter with the Internet's do-it-yourself mustard community. 'At that point I had maybe three different kinds of mustard in my refrigerator, but when I looked at their forum topics, these guys were talking about the strengths of unique varieties of imported mustard seeds, brewing your own vinegar for mustard-making, ways to improve store-bought mustard when you find yourself in a pinch. Thatthat was the start of what I now call my 'lost year.'' Over the next few weeks, Gibson broadened his palette with many new and 'exciting' mustards, an experiment that soon led him down a path toward compulsive mustard connoisseurship. After an inquiry about a good place to get starter supplies for mustard-making received eight enthusiastic responses, an emboldened Gibson looked through the group's archives to familiarize himself with its etiquette and tastes. It was there that he first learned about mustard's use in various folk remedies: how to relieve chest congestion by making a plaster from the condiment, or keep feet warm by sprinkling dry seeds into one's shoes. Initially, Gibson's family encouraged his new interest, saying they were pleased he had found something to do with his spare time and that he was cooking more in order to show off the mustards he made. 'I thought it was pretty neat at first,' said Gibson's wife, Heather. 'After a while, though, it seemed like every conversation we had was about something the people on his mustard website said. One night I woke up at 3 a.m. and found him bathed in the light of the computer screen, posting his latest mustard thoughts to the message boards.' 'That's when I realized the mustard had come between us,' she added. When a MustardMonster member who was 'deep into the lifestyle' suggested Gibson till up his yard to grow his own mustard plants, the 41-year-old didn't even balk at the idea. By this point, Gibson said, mustard had become his only reason for getting out of bed in the morning. Coworkers had begun to shun him, friends grew distant. Soon every Tupperware container in his home was filled with the rich, yellow condiment, and Gibson began dumping out half-empty jars of jam and olives in a desperate attempt to find receptacles for his latest zesty concoctions. It was only when Gibson started getting angry, even enraged, by mustard-related issues that he started realize he had become entangled in a dense, thickening web of mustard obsession. 'I saw my wife putting French's mustard on a bologna sandwich for our 5-year-old son, and I just lost control,' Gibson said. 'I said thingsawful things that I'm not proud ofand the two of them were clearly shaken. I can never take those words back. When I looked in the mirror and barely recognized that livid face staring back at me, I finally understood that these mustard people weren't really my friends.' Sensing he was on the brink of an abyss and fearing what would happen if he hit rock bottom, Gibsonwith the support of his wife, who packed a mayonnaise-dressed sandwich in his lunch each daymade the decision to quit mustard for good. 'The craving never leaves you, of course,' Gibson said. 'Sometimes I'll be in the supermarket, and without realizing it, I'll find myself staring at a nice deli-style or ballpark mustard.' Added Gibson: 'But then I walk away. I think about my family, remember that Dijon-slathering, watery-eyed zombie I nearly became, and I walk away.' 
3	The Biggest Scandal in America Is Its Corporate Controlled MediaEric Zuesse This coup was carried out for the White House by one of Ukraines two racist-fascist, or nazi, political parties, whose founder and leader still controls Ukraine though not officially, even these many months after his coup, and which nazi party has been up to their elbows since then in a genocidal policy to exterminate the people in the region of Ukraine that had voted approximately 90% for the man whom Obama and those nazis overthrew in February. (Click onto that link, and to the more-detailed evidence thats linked to there, in order to see the ultimate documentations of this entire horrific history, because it is history now, even though the American public were never informed about it while it was news while and when it was happening, which it still is.) And how many Americans know that one of the two main suspects in the bringing-down of the Malaysian MH17 airliner over Ukraine on July 17th has been given veto-power over the report that is to be issued from the official investigation of the black boxes and other evidence in the case? The ongoing hiding of all of this from the American public is perhaps even more stunning to the present writer than is the bloody American policy (includingin it) itself. Virtually all of the news editors and producers the news executives, in Americas press know, and have known all along, that these things are the case, because theyve been receiving many news-submissions on them, with full and entirely credible documentation each time, ever since February, and have not made any of these facts public; theyve not published this reality, when itwasnews, though they are supposed to benews-organizations. I know this because I am one of the many independent investigative journalists who has been reporting in detail on these matters, throughout this time-period, and whose reports have been submitted to virtually all U.S.news media mainstream and alternative news, liberal and conservative news, Republican and Democratic news. And, with the exception of only about a half-dozen obscurebut admirably authentic news-sites on the Internet (which is just a small fraction of the alternative news sites), all of this solidly documented information (just click on the links and youll see it documented there) has been intentionally withheld, from the American public, by virtually the entirety of the U.S. news media. Was the rigid control over a nations press more rigid and more universal in the Soviet Union, or in Nazi Germany, than is the case in todays United States? One should not simplyassumethat it was, or that it wasnt, but instead recognize how extremely far from being a democracy todays United States has, in fact,become. This is the most shocking realization of all, because its the most suppressed news of all news about the news-suppression by the news-media. Regarding that charge of news-suppression in America: among the news media to which these news-reports have been regularly submitted and yet never published, have also been specialized ones,such as fair.org, mediamatters.org, and Foreign Policymagazine; and yet even they refuse to report these realities about U.S. foreign policy and its cover-ups, and about the controlled U.S. news media inneitherspecialized field (neither press-reviews, nor international policy) is it being reported. And, of course, its not broadcast in any U.S. national media. Thats how dire the condition of what used to be American democracy has now become. The biggest news-story of all is thus the one that is, and that will inevitably be, the most suppressed news-story of all: the news-suppressionitself. It extends from the major news-media to the alternative and even to the specialized news-media. Edward Snowden, the former CIA and NSA employee and then contractor who went public about the U.S. Governments violating the 4th Amendment and other U.S. Constitutional provisions regarding Americans right to privacy and so forth,addressed onOctober 20th, a class at Harvard Law School, and he spoke about the impossibility of democracy to exist if there is not informed consent from the public of what the Government is doing, and of what the authentic aims of the Government are in what it is doing and intends to do. He necessarily had to speak from an undisclosed location, because the U.S. Government wants to imprison him (if not worse). He raised the extremely serious question as to whether, and the extent to which, a government can lie to its public and still be a democracy. Thats the question. How can the public have a government representing informed consent, if the news media are constantly, and systematically, lying about the most important things, and covering up that governments worst, most heinous, crimes? Yet, this is what Americans have today. The United States is thus no longer a model for any country except for a dictatorship. How likely is it that Americas press will let the American public know this now-established fact? Somethings wrong and its not people such as Edward Snowden. For yet another of the many examples of U.S. news-suppression, clickhere.

1	In a slight shift from his campaign trail promise, President Obama announced Monday that his administration's message of 'Change' has been modified to the somewhat more restrained slogan 'Relatively Minor Readjustments in Certain Favorable Policy Areas.' 'Today, Americans face a great many challenges, and I hear your desperate calls for barely measurable and largely symbolic improvements in the status quo,' said Obama, who vowed never to waver in his fight for every last infinitesimal nudge forward on the controversial issues of torture and the military ban on homosexuals. 'Remember: Yes we can, if by that you mean tiptoeing around potentially unpopular decisions that could alienate a large segment of the populace.' Washington insiders said that, while the new mottos are certainly in keeping with Obama's pledge of government transparency, they are significantly less catchy. 
1	Michael and Joycelyn Victorino told reporters Friday that they are preparing to deal with their tantrum-prone 30-year-old son, Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino, who they said will undoubtedly throw another hissy fit before being dragged out of the car and dropped off at spring training. 'It's just a matter of time. Once he sees us packing his clothes and his baseball equpiment, his face gets all red and he starts shaking,' said mother Joycelyn, adding that they tried to get Victorino's grandfather to take him to Clearwater, FL, but he was unavailable. 'He's going to cry and kick and scream the whole ride there. 'Don't make me go! None of the other players like me!' All that crap. Frankly, I'm just happy to have him out of my hair for a few weeks.' Victorino's parents said they hope they don't have a repeat of last year, when Phillies manager Charlie Manuel had to call them back to the spring training facility to pick up their bawling son. 
2	Obamas Policy Takes Unexpected Turn And Immediately Lays Off 200,000 Americans Despite numbers from nonpartisan studies, President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats, as well as Democratic governors across the country, regard a minimum wage hike as a political winner. All three Democratic presidential candidates are running calling for a minimum wage hike. Minimum wages hikes have resulted in over 200,000 layoffs over the past year according to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The Fed study comes just less than two years after a study by the Congressional Budget Office asserted that increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour would cost 500,000 jobs nationally. Obamas constituency elected him in the hope that he would better their economic situation. Instead, hes left 200,000 without jobs. Rather than relying on minimum wage, people should be working hard to earn themselves the wage they want to live on. Do you think people should be paid according to how much they earn, rather than being given handouts? 
2	Al Sharpton Calls On Blacks Across The Nation To March On Ferguson And Riot Recently, MSNBC host Al Sharpton told Americans that they should not be placated by the riots in Ferguson, Missouri. He reminded the public that the community is still devastated by the shooting of Michael Brown. Were not out of this yet, Sharpton said on Morning Joe. What happens when the kids see their friend lying in the casket? He went on to remind the panel on the show that this was not the first time he had seen a situation like this. He told them that it was foolish to think that the situation was under control, just because military equipment ceased to be used in the street. We are not out of the emotions because we all of a sudden had one good night of marching, Sharpton claims. We were able to get people calm for one night. Then the militarized police force is what made it worse. It felt like we were in a war zone. Sharpton claimed that the issue will not be resolved until a real dialogue takes place. We will be back here again if we dont deal with it, he concluded. What do you think? Is Sharpton causing more drama with his comments? 
3	The Dark Agenda Behind Globalism And Open BordersBy Brandon Smith In fact, this is not what Occams Razor states. Instead, to summarize, it states that the simplest explanation GIVEN THE EVIDENCE at hand is probably the right explanation. It has been well known and documented for decades that the push for globalism is a deliberate and focused effort on the part of a select elite; international financiers, central bankers, political leaders and the numerous members of exclusive think tanks. They often openly admit their goals for total globalization in their own publications, perhaps believing that the uneducated commoners would never read them anyway. Carroll Quigley, mentor to Bill Clinton and member of the Council on Foreign Relations, is often quoted with open admissions to the general scheme: The powers of financial capitalism had (a) far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland; a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world. Carroll Quigley,Tragedy And Hope The people behind the effort to enforce globalism are tied together by a particular ideology, perhaps even a cult-like religion, in which they envision a world order as described in Platos Republic. They believe that they are chosen either by fate, destiny or genetics to rule as philosopher kings over the rest of us. They believe that they are the wisest and most capable that humanity has to offer, and that through evolutionary means, they can create chaos and order out of thin air and mold society at will. This mentality is evident in the systems that they build and exploit. For example, central banking in general is nothing more than a mechanism for driving nations into debt, currency devaluation, and ultimately, enslavement through widespread economic extortion. The end game for central banks is, I believe, the triggering of historic financial crisis, which can then be used by the elites as leverage to promote complete global centralization as the only viable solution. This process of destabilizing economies and societies is not directed by the heads of the various central banks. Instead, it is directed by even more central global institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the Bank for International Settlements, as outlined in revealing mainstream articles like Ruling The World Of Moneypublished by Harpers Magazine. We also find through the words of globalists that the campaign for a new world order is not meant to be voluntary. When the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people will hate the new world order and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people. HG Welles, Fabian Socialist and author of The New World Order In short, the house of world order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than f rom the top down. It will look like a great booming, buzzing confusion, to use William James famous description of reality, but an end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old-fashioned frontal assault. Richard Gardner, member of the Trilateral Commission, published in the April, 1974 issue of Foreign Affairs The New World Order cannot happen without U.S. participation, as we are the single most significant component. Yes, there will be a New World Order, and it will force the United States to change its perceptions. Henry Kissinger, World Action Council, April 19, 1994 I could quote globalists all day long, but I think you get the general idea. While some people see globalism as a natural offshoot of free markets or the inevitable outcome of economic progress, the reality is that the simplest explanation (given the evidence at hand) is that globalism is an outright war waged against the ideal of sovereign peoples and nations. It is a guerrilla war, or fourth generation warfare, waged by a small group of elites against the rest of us. A significant element of this war concerns the nature of borders. Borders of nations, states and even towns and villages, are not just lines on a map or invisible barriers in the dirt. This is what the elites and the mainstream media would like us to believe. Instead, borders when applied correctly represent principles; or at least, that is supposed to be their function. Human beings are natural community builders; we are constantly seeking out others of like-mind and like-purpose because we understand subconsciously that groups of individuals working together can (often but not always) accomplish more. That said, human beings also have a natural tendency to value individual freedom and the right to voluntary association. We do not like to be forced to associate with people or groups that do not hold similar values. Cultures erect borders because, frankly, people have the right to vet those who wish to join and participate in their endeavors. People also have a right to discriminate against anyone who does not share their core values; or, in other words, we have the right to refuse association with other groups and ideologies that are destructive to our own. Interestingly, globalists and their mouthpieces will argue that by refusing to associate with those who might undermine our values, it is WE who are violating THEIR rights. See how that works? Globalists exploit the word isolationism to shame sovereignty champions in the eyes of the public, but there is no shame in isolation when such principles as freedom of speech and expression or the right to self defense are on the line. There is also nothing wrong with isolating a prosperous economic model from unsuccessful economic models. Forcing a decentralized free market economy to adopt feudal administration through central banking and government will eventually destroy that model. Forcing a free market economy into fiscal interdependency with socialist economies will also most likely undermine that culture. Just as importing millions of people with differing values to feed on a nation after it has had socialism thrust upon it is a recipe for collapse. The point is, some values and social structures are mutually exclusive; no matter how hard you try, certain cultures can never be homogenized with other cultures. You can only eliminate one culture to make room for the other in a border-less world. This is what globalists seek to achieve. It is the greater purpose behind open border policies and globalization to annihilate ideological competition so that humanity thinks it has no other option but the elitist religion. The ultimate end game of globalists is not to control governments (governments are nothing more than a tool). Rather, their end game is to obtain total psychological influence and eventually consent from the masses. Variety and choice have to be removed from our environment in order for globalism to work, which is a nice way to say that many people will have to die and many principles will have to be erased from the public consciousness. The elites assert that their concept of a single world culture is the pinnacle principle of mankind, and that there is no longer any need for borders because no other principle is superior to theirs. As long as borders as a concept continue to exist there is always the chance of separate and different ideals rising to compete with the globalist philosophy. This is unacceptable to the elites. This has led not so subtle propaganda meme that cultures that value sovereignty over globalism are somehow seething cauldrons of potential evil. Today, with the rising tide of anti-globalist movements, the argument in the mainstream is that populists (conservatives) are of a lower and uneducated class and are a dangerous element set to topple the peace and prosperity afforded by globalist hands. In other words, we are treated like children scrawling with our finger paints across a finely crafted Mona Lisa. Once again, Carroll Quigley promotes (or predicts) this propaganda decades in advance when he discusses the need for working within the system for change instead of fighting against it: For example, Ive talked about the lower middle class as the backbone of fascism in the future. I think this may happen. The party members of the Nazi Party in Germany were consistently lower middle class. I think that the right-wing movements in this country are pretty generally in this group. Carroll Quigley, from Dissent: Do We Need It? The problem is that these people refuse to confront the fruits of globalization that can be observed so far. Globalists have had free rein over most of the worlds governments for at least a century, if not longer. As a consequence of their influences, we have had two World Wars, the Great Depression, the Great Recession which is still ongoing, too many regional conflicts and genocides to count and the systematic oppression of free agent entrepreneurs, inventors and ideas to the point that we are now suffering from social and financial stagnation. The globalists have long been in power, yet, the existence of borders is blamed for the storm of crises we have endured for the past hundred years? Liberty champions are called deplorable populists and fascists while globalists dodge blame like slimy slithering eels? This is the best card the globalists have up their sleeve, and it is the reason why I continue to argue that they plan to allow conservative movements to gain a measure of political power in the next year, only to pull the plug on international fiscal life support and blame us for the resulting tragedy. There is no modicum of evidence to support the notion that globalization, interdependency and centralization actually work. One need only examine the economic and immigration nightmare present in the EU to understand this. So, the globalists will now argue that the world is actually not centralized ENOUGH. Thats right; they will claim we need more globalization, not less, to solve the worlds ailments. In the meantime, principles of sovereignty have to be historically demonized the concept of separate cultures built on separate beliefs has to be psychologically equated with evil by future generations. Otherwise, the globalists will never be able to successfully establish a global system without borders. Imagine, for a moment, an era not far away in which the principle of sovereignty is considered so abhorrent, so racist, so violent and poisonous that any individual would be shamed or even punished by the collective for entertaining the notion. Imagine a world in which sovereignty and conservatism are held up to the next generation as the new original sins; dangerous ideas that almost brought about the extinction of man. This mental prison is where globalists want to take us. We can break free, but this would require a complete reversal of the way in which we participate in society. Meaning, we need a rebellion of voluntary associations. A push for decentralization instead of globalization. Thousands upon thousands of voluntary groups focusing on localization, self reliance and true production. We must act to build a system that is based on redundancy instead of fragile interdependency . We need to go back to an age of many borders, not less borders, until every individual is himself free to participate in whatever social group or endeavor he believes is best for him, as well as free to defend against people that seek to sabotage him; a voluntary tribal society devoid of forced associations. Of course, this effort would require unimaginable sacrifice and a fight that would probably last a generation. To suggest otherwise would be a lie. I cant possibly convince anyone that a potential future based on a hypothetical model is worth that sacrifice. I have no idea whether it is or is not. I can only point out that the globalist dominated world we live in today is clearly doomed. We can argue about what comes next after we have removed our heads from the guillotine.

1	In the latest act of youth violence to shock the nation, 14-year-old home-schooler Jeffrey Kunz opened fire on the family breakfast nook Monday, killing three and injuring two. 'We were just about to start Jeffrey's algebra lesson when I heard several loud pops,' said Iris Kunz, 44, the assailant's mother/teacher and one of the injured. 'But then I saw blood on Jeffrey's sister Melissa and realized someone was shooting.' The gun-wielding teen, who was eventually subdued by SWAT-team agents, was said to be angry at his mother over a science grade. 
2	Muslims Sues Boss For Saying No Hijab, Judge Gives Her Nasty Surprise According to new reports, companies in the EU can now officially ban Muslim employees from wearing headscarves to work. The decision was just announced by a senior jurist in a case involving British security firm G4S. The ruling states that a headscarf ban may be justified in order to enforce a legitimate policy of religious and ideological neutrality pursued by the employer. Juliane Kokott, a German advocate general at the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg gave details in a statement she made last Tuesday. Kokott reports that the ban must be based on a general company rule on religious symbols of any type and must be proportional. Kokott also added that the issue is one that is so delicate that national courts should have a measure of discretion which they may exercise in strict accordance with EU rules. The case was brought forward when G4S fired Samira Achbita, a Muslim receptionist at one of its offices in Belgium, because she refused to come to work without her scarf. She sued for damages in Belgian courts and earned the backing of the Belgian Centre for Equal Opportunities and Combating Racism. However, judges ruled against her on two occasions. Her appeal is currently being heard by Belgiums Court of Cassation. What do you think of these reports? 
2	Seven New Refugee Camps And Mosques To Be Built With Taxpayers Money This is not a good sign of what is to come in America. According to recent reports, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has just ordered his military to draft plans to house more than 6,000 Muslim refugees at their military bases. The stays will be on a long-term basis. The move is part of thousands of dollars the Department of National Defence has set aside for religious support. The money will also be used to buy Korans, prayer mats, and other supplies like foot-washing towels. In case youre not already outraged, the plans also call for the construction of mosquesat the expense of tax payers. These plans are expected to cost more than $46 million for the first six months in Quebec alone. The average migrant family is set to receive a $200,000 a year subsidy. This is absolutely outrageous, and its something we could realistically see implemented in the United States at the hands of President Barack Obama. He seems hell-bent on helping Muslim refugees despite the risks and consequences to the American people. 
2	Ferguson Thugs MURDER While Burning U.S. Flags [VIDEO] With many out-of-state activists and instigators joining the protests in Ferguson each day, activities have officially gotten out of control. Contributing to the disturbance is the New Black Panther Party, one of the groups camping out in Ferguson. They have called for civil war if Officer Darren Wilson isnt arrested. And theyve repeatedly threatened violence against any Wilson supporters. Now, according to reports, protests in Ferguson have taken a violent turn. Recently, protestors blocked off major intersections, preventing a delaying cars from going anywhere. That included blocking an ambulance that was attempting to respond to a call. Protestors were heard shouting: Who do we want? Darren Wilson! How do we want him? Dead! They were also seen burning American flags, cursing at the policy, and even throwing rocks through the windows of homes. One reporter claims that she saw two men breaking bricks in order to have more ammo to throw. The reporter ended up in a headlock, but luckily was able to escape into the crowd. What do you think? Do the Ferguson riots need to be stopped now? 
1	Network news cameras covering Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony Tuesday captured Hillary Clinton silently moving her lips along with each word of the minute-long presidential oath of office. As she stood watching several yards from Chief Justice John Roberts, the former Democratic presidential candidate could be observed placing her left hand on a leather appointment book and raising her right hand slightly from her hip. Clinton, who carefully followed the swearing-in procedure with her eyes shut tightly, only varied from the president's words once, when she soundlessly mouthed her name instead of Barack Obama's. Clinton was later seen at an inaugural ball pretending she was dancing with first lady Michelle Obama.

2	Patriot Parks Trump Themed Lamborghini In Front Of Obamas White House, Then THIS Happens According to recent reports, a patriot using the handle SpeedRacer38 drove a Donald Trump-themed Lamborghini through the streets of Washington D.C. this week, posting videos of his experience of social media the whole time. According to BizPac Review, the patriot eventually parked his vehicle in front of the White House. Not surprisingly, he was quickly greeted by the Secret Service. Footage captured them pulling them up behind him with their lights flashing. According to SpeedRacer38, the paint-job on his vehicle was mean to celebrate the annual GoldRush Rallys eighth year. He added that the design might take the cake for wrap designs they have come up with. Since the rally made a stop in Washington DC, I coordinated with my friend who owns the Aventador to do a photo/video shoot with it and I think the end result is pretty incredible, he wrote in the video description. When I was driving the car there were so many people taking pictures, complimenting me on the wrap on the car, and giving me a thumbs up. This is all done just for fun but it has definitely upset quite a few people on social media which I think is pretty entertaining because they say they will vandalize the car, etc if they saw it but everyone I met while driving it was the polar opposite with nothing but nice things to say. Anyways I thought it was pretty fun taking the car over in front of the White House and I hope you enjoy the video! Watch the video below and tell us what you think: 
1	Saying the legislation would restore and protect religious freedoms that had been endangered in recent years by government action, religious liberty activists celebrated the passage Tuesday of a new Missouri law that grants the states small business owners the right to annul any marriage between a same-sex couple. The religious rights of Missouris entrepreneurs have been disregarded for too long, but thanks to the Defense of Religious Freedom Act, now every shopkeeper in the state can legally invalidate any customers same-sex marriage if such a union violates the tenets of their faith, said state legislator Greg Kirk, who explained that the bill allows proprietors to render null and void the marriage certificate of any wedded homosexual patron inside their place of business or within 100 feet of the storefront entrance. This new legislation has nothing to do with any sort of prejudice against homosexuals; its about respecting the constitutional rights of citizens by giving them the choice of whether or not they wish to dissolve all legal ties of marriage between gay and lesbian couples whose unions stand in opposition to their deeply held convictions. Its about protecting values. According to sources, several state senators are also drafting a bill that gives Missouri citizens the right to cancel any womans birth control prescription if it infringes on their personal beliefs. 
2	Ted Nugent Says Obama Should Be Hung For Treason Rock star and conservative commentator Ted Nugent has been known to speak his mind without holding back, especially when it comes to his criticisms of President Barack Obama. Now, hes adding presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton to that list as well. He has no problem being the center of controversy, and has often been accused of going too far. Now, hes facing backlash once more after publishing a Facebook post criticizing Obama and Hillary for their culpability in the 2010 Benghazi terrorist attack. He even calls for the pair to be hung for their treason. Our unholy rotten soulless criminal America-destroying government killed 4 Americans in Benghazi. Period! Nugent began. What sort of chimpa** punk would deny security, turn down 61 requests for security, then tell U.S. forces to STAND DOWN when they were ready to kicka** on the allapukes save American lives? he continued. Obama Clinton, thats who. They should be tried for treason hung. Our entire fkdup gvt must be cleansed asap. Nugent was clearly referencing the new Michael Bay movie 13 Hours which details the events that unfolded on September 11, 2012. What do you think? Do you agree with Nugent or did he take things too far?

'I had such a long way to go,'said Cross, who fled south after gunning down 10 in 1980, 'but I've finally made it to the border of Mexico.' Doctors, who described Cross' body as 'weak,' said much sleep would be necessary to restore the health of the fugitive adult-contemporary vocalist. 
3	Vaccine Conspiracy or Racist Population Control Campaign: The Kenyan Tetanus ShotCeleste McGovern If beggars believe that these men think that one day theyll get high-fives from their Maker despite the death and suffering they willfully [sic] created, he concluded. The larger Catholic church was silent and no human rights groups rushed to investigate the bishops claims, so the whole controversy seemed to evaporate like smog a backward, African version of a wacky vaccine conspiracy theory, with Catholic anti-birth control overtones. What could poor, black women have to fear from uber-rich white philanthropists and global organizations bearing health-giving pharmaceuticals after all? BLACK BOX MEDICINE Well, there is that niggling 60-year history of contraceptive testing on poor, mostly black women in developing countries. Practically every contraceptive ever marketed to Western women was first tried out on some unsuspecting and undereducated poor women, often without access to running water, let alone basic healthcare or a lawyer. From the revolutionary first birth control pill, experimented on Haitian and Puerto Rican women in the 1950s(who suffered blood clots and strokes while the researchers adjusted the doses to make it saleable), through the now-shelved hormone-leaking Norplant rods inserted in the arms of Bangladeshi slum women in the early 1980s, some of whom, going blind or endlessly bleeding, were refused when they begged to have the things removed, to the women and girls in rural Ghana who were part of the Navrongo Experiment between 1994 and 2006 and,according to black activists, left conveniently unaware of the FDAs Black Box Warning about life-threatening potential side effects of the experimental Depo Provera contraceptive implant they were given as part of a general health care program. It seems that the poor women are always involved except when the pharmaceutical company is paying the lawsuit claims. Or perhaps the Kenyan bishops were thinking of the nasty side population controllers sometimes shown when theyre in Third World countries. There are nice population control people in places like India who will give men guns for vasectomies or women a chance to win a refrigerator or the worlds cheapest car for surgical sterilization. But then there are the population control jihads, like the type that saw Indian men forcibly sterilized on railway platforms in the 1970s in the quest to defuse the population bomb. They still oversee programs today where Indian women are dumped like chattel on the streets after surgical sterilization mega camps or left bleeding on straw mats after tubal ligations at a rate oftwo-per-minute, by flashlight. Maybe the Kenyan bishops were thinking of the way US and international foreign aid and private foundation funding has steadily trickled into these countries in the billions, while these type of government-run programs that reduce birth rates are in full swing. But why would they ever suspect foreign-funded programs in Kenya? And why were they so concerned about the tetanus campaign? Is there a tetanus crisis in Kenya? If this is so, why has it not been declared? the bishops asked, noting that the Catholic Churchs 83 health centres, 311 dispensaries and 17 medical training centres that had not heard about it. Also, if so many life threatening diseases [are] in Kenya, why has tetanus been prioritized? Fair enough questions. Then they got weird: We are not convinced that the government has taken adequate responsibility to ensure that Tetanus Toxoid vaccine (TT) laced with Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (b-HCG) sub unit is not being used by the sponsoring development partners. This has previously been used by the same partners in the Philippines, Nicaragua and Mexico to vaccinate women against future pregnancy. Beta HCG sub unit is a hormone necessary for pregnancy. The notion of a contraceptive-laced vaccine sounds ridiculous to most Westerners. What are they talking about? BACKGROUND The population growth and unintended pregnancies are major public health issues worldwide, begins this2011 overview of contraceptive vaccines in the American Journal of Reproductive Immunology. Contraceptive vaccines (CV) have been proposed as valuable alternatives that can fulfill most, if not all, of the properties of an ideal contraceptive. As the developed and most of the developing nations have an infrastructure for mass immunization, the development of vaccines for contraception is an exciting proposition. Indeed, a contraceptive vaccine is a sort of Holy Grail for population researchers. It turns out theyve been beavering away at this technology since the 1960s and they have made some significant inroads. Theyve developed three different types of vaccines against pregnancy: The egg vaccines turned out to be the most troublesome. Our goal with our vaccine was to develop autoimmunity, Bonnie Dunbar, a 20-year veteran vaccine researcher, told the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination in 2010, according to areport from a Population Research Institute reporter who was there. Dunbar had entered the field with aims of curtailing population growth and said that she wanted to train rabbits immune systems to attack their own zona pellucida glycoproteins on their ova, as it happens sometimes in infertile women. She used pig proteins in her vaccine, just foreign enough to trick the rabbit into inducing antibodies against its own self proteins. It turned out to be too effective. We found out when we immunized these animals, however, that we completely destroyed the ovaries, Dunbar said. Unfortunately, we werent just looking at preventing fertilization now; we generated a complete autoimmune disease, which is also known as premature ovarian failure. In every animal model she tested the vaccine in, including primates, it caused permanent autoimmune failure of the ovaries induced by their own bodies. After viewing the slides of these blasted ovaries, Dr. Dunbar called it quits. I am responsible, she declared, for killing this vaccine for further human research, and I made some people in my biotech company and some other people very unhappy. The anti-sperm vaccine efforts have been far more rewarding, however. Various sperm antigens/genes have been delineated, cloned, and sequenced from various laboratories, wrote West Virginia University Professor Rajesh Naz in his 2011 paper Antisperm Contraception: Where we are and where we are going. Vaccination with these sperm antigens (recombinant/synthetic peptide/DNA) causes a reversible contraceptive effect in females and males of various animal species, by inducing a systemic and local antisperm antibody response. One lab has even managed to produce a nasal spray vaccine that renders mice infertile. In fact, the anti-sperm vaccines have been so successful that the US Environmental Protection Agency announced in 2012 that it registered a contraceptive vaccine for use on wild horses which is now currently being tested on elephants in South Africa. But most promising of all have been the anti-human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) vaccines the kind the Kenyan bishops are worried about. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) appears soon after fertilization of the egg and plays a critical role in implantation of the embryo, explains a2013 report in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences. Flooded by the hCG hormone during pregnancy, womens immune systems wont attack it because it is natural and facilitates a newly conceived embryo implanting in its mothers womb. To overcome this immunological tolerance, researchers attached a subunit of hCG to the tetanus toxoid in a tetanus vaccine to trick the immune system into making antibodies that would attack hCG, and cause early miscarriage. InGursuran Talwars article from the Talwar Research Foundation in New Delhi, India, Talwar has been researching contraceptive vaccines for organizations including the World Health Organization and the Population Council for decades and published his first paper on an hCG contraceptive vaccine in 1976 coincidentally when the WHO launched its anti-neonatal tetanus campaign targeting women of childbearing age. Neonatal tetanus is unheard of in Western countries. It still claims many infants in the developing world, however, mostly because of squalid delivery conditions, co-infections like malaria and maternal malnutrition, including vitamin A deficiency and anemia.[2] The typical Western response to a deep-rooted problem like this: vaccinate. CONTROVERSY Talwar began testing his hCG contraceptive on Indian women as far back as 1990 when he found that of the 148 women inoculated with his anti-hCG vaccine, none conceived so long as they received regular boosters at intervals of a few months to keep their antibody titers high enough. Soon after these experiments, the controversies began. In the mid 1990s, the World Health Organization, in partnership with other international groups, including UNICEF, rolled out anti-tetanus vaccine campaigns in developing countries including the Philippines. Women and girls of child-bearing age only were recruited for multiple tetanus vaccine injections just months apart not the usual tetanus vaccine schedules several years apart in order to prevent neonatal tetanus. According to a 1995 BBC investigation [1], some health workers in the Philippines began to notice that women were miscarrying after the vaccine and they grew suspicious. Eventually, the Philippine Medical Association retrieved 47 vials of the vaccine and had them tested in an FDA-approved laboratory. Nine of the vials were found to contain the hCG subunit. The WHO and other global health organizations involved vehemently denied the claim, but when the PMA sent their lab results in September 1996 they admitted that the hCG was there, but it was in such small quantities that it was just background noise. Similar allegations surfaced in Nicaragua and Mexico. So when the tetanus vaccine for girls came to Kenya, the Catholic bishops complained to the Minster of Health who insisted that the vaccine should be tested before the campaign, but the WHO declined and withdrew the campaign instead. GOVERNMENT FUNDING Fast forward 20 years later and Talwar has renewed his research. After a dormant period of 12 years, work on the anti-hCG vaccine was revived at the insistence of the Indo-U.S. Committee on Contraception and Child Health [sic], he wrote last year. We produced a recombinant vaccine with the consideration that it will be amenable to large- scale production by industry. The Indo-US Program on Contraception and Reproductive Health ResearchNIH program, under the umbrella of the the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), has been funneling millions into US and Indian research on contraceptives including immunocontraceptives. Anti-sperm vaccine researcher Naz, for instance, has been funded by the NIH since 1991. Between 1999 and 2007, his take from NICHD averaged about a quarter of a million per year. But that was augmented by grants from various local, state, private, and federal agencies, including the West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Maybe its all this background information that has the Kenyan bishops in a knot today? Actually, it turns out the bishops were only acting on information given to them by the Kenyan Catholic Doctors Association. The groups president, obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Wahome Ngare, published a letterin the Kenyan press on Tuesday. In this letter, Dr. Ngare says his group first grew suspicious of the WHO/UNICEF sponsored tetanus campaign that began last October because of its irregular schedule of shots: normally everyone can have them in infancy with boosters every three to five years and pregnant women are eligible for two additional shots at least a month apart. Instead, all women and girls were to have three doses of the vaccine (possibly five) at six-month intervals. Whats more, Ngare said that when they realized the tetanus vaccines being used in this campaign were imported into the country specifically for this purpose and didnt match batch numbers for regular vaccines, they obtained vials of the tetanus vaccines in March 2014 and subjected them to testing and found them laced with HCG. This proved right our worst fears, Dr. Ngare wrote, that this WHO/UNICEF campaign is not about eradicating neonatal tetanus, but is a well-coordinated, forceful, population control, mass sterilization exercise using a proven fertility regulating vaccine. But that would mean that somewhere, in that vast labyrinth of Gates and Rockefeller-funded alliances of world banks and health organizations, academic institutions, pharmaceutical giants and government ministries, civil society organizations, NGOs and population councils, someone has intentionally kept secret experimental contraceptives in a medicine, pretending to save innocent babies, while hand-wringing about them damaging the planet. Creepy, but not so unbelievable for some whove seen it before. The mainstream media finds it hard to believe that anyone would deliberately inoculate a woman against pregnancy without her foreknowledge or consent, says Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute who was the first social scientist to witness Chinas One Child Policy in action and to tell the world about the forced abortions he saw first hand. But as someone who has followed abusive population control programs now for 30 years, and seen repeatedly how such programs violate the fundamental rights of women, I am no longer surprised. It has happened before. It will happen again. Maybe thats how the Kenyan bishops see it. After all, part of their job is concerned with the darker aspects of human nature. Maybe, as Dr. Ngare said, they are only doing their civic and moral duty with the information they have. In the meantime, Kenyan health ministry officials have decided to put an end to any further conspiracy talk, at least among the professionals. According to a Standard Media reportthis week, Kenyan Health Cabinet Secretary James Macharia and the Director of Medical Services Nicholas Muraguri, have decided to punish obstetrician/gynecologist Stephen Karanja, for approaching the Kenyan bishops and sounding the alarm about the vaccine. Dr.Karanja has been summoned to the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board for disciplinary action. It is clear that he was wrong, and we now have to take action. It is very unethical, said Muraguri. Action indeed. Just the sort of decisive action Bill and Melinda Gates and their allies in the World Health Organization and the pharmaceutical industry are certain to approve of. And for Kenyas 2.3 million women and girls, and millions more across the world, the not-so-controversial tetanus vaccine campaign is certain to continue.

3	Rising Food Prices Continue to Climb, with Prices Up 10% in July AloneLisa Garber While we may all see small changes in the grocery store and in grocery bills, World Bank president Jim Yong Kim says countries reliant on imported grains, especially Africa and the Middle East are particularly vulnerable. The World Bank attributes the price jump mainly to the American heatwave and drought in Eastern Europe, which has hurt corn and soy in the US and wheat in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Use of corn in the production of ethanol in the U.S.accounting for up to 40 percent of corn crophas also been blamed for the price jump. But of course this isnt the beginning of rising food prices. Costs have been going up for some time now; you can see a food price index we covered around just last Thanksgiving. The food index count, which is an overall score reflecting the total price of the top 6 food commodities, rose to 215 in December of 2010 up from 90 in the year 2000. Sugar spearheaded the spike, hitting only 2 points away from the 400 mark in December of 2010. Rice is the only staple that has actually decreased in price (by 4 percent). We cannot allow these historic price hikes to turn into a lifetime of perils as families take their children out of school and eat less nutritious food to compensate for the high prices, Jim Yong Kim added. The World Bank is pushing governments to protect at-risk communities, but the G20 group of leading economic powerhouses is waiting until the USDA reveals September estimates for the years harvest. Aid group Oxfam decries the wait and see approach, but likely to little avail. Theres some epic irony at work when Mother Nature wreaks havoc on genetically modified corn, soy, and beet root which have been slowly poisoning consumers for the last decade. Unfortunately, her work also hurts organic farmers trying, as we all are, to desperately make a living. Millions worldwide will go hungry as food prices rise, but crop insurance will help out subsidized farmersmany of them being the very ones growing Monsanto crops endorsed by the US government. And who pays for up to 60 percent of insured crops, including GMO and pesticide-riddled varieties? The average taxpayer. So, we have that to think about, too, when we pay a little more for our daily bread.

2	200 Muslims Fired After Demanding Time To Pray According to recent reports, approximately 190 Muslim workers at a meat packing and distribution plant in Colorado have been fired after they walked off their job, demanding time to pray to Allah. The plant is owned by Cargill, and the dispute began when operators refused to let employees leave the assembly line as a group to pray. Instead, the company argued that only one or two employees could leave at once so the assembly line process could continue uninterrupted. Of course, CAIR quickly got involved and attempted to convince plant managers to shut down production so that the employees could go pray. The workers were told: If you want to pray, go home, Jaylani Hussein, a spokesman for CAIR commented. They feel missing their prayer is worse than losing their job. After the unionized workers walked off the job and refused to return until the prayer schedule was reinstated, Cargill decided to fire them for a no call, no show, walk out. Cargills decision was an easy one, given that it was extraordinarily costly to shut down an entire production line several times a day for prayers. Of course, he is still facing backlash from the Muslim community. CAIR and Cargill are set to have a teleconference this coming week to further discuss the issue. 
2	CNN Facing Devastating Consequences After Caught Altering Trump Audio... Look Whats Happening CNN is under fire after they were caught editing Donald Trumps words to make it look like he said something that he didnt say at all. Recently, CNN released an article with the headline: Donald Trump, skeptical of mail-in balloting, encourages voting more than once if necessary. The article quoted him as saying, If you go to university center, theyll give you a new ballot, theyll void your old ballot, in some places they do that four or five times, so by tomorrow, almost everyone will have their new ballots in. That is very different from what he really said: If you go to university center, theyll give you a new ballot, theyll void your old ballot. Theyll give you a new ballot, and you can go out and make sure it gets in. Now in some places, they do that four or five times, but we dont do that. So by tomorrow, almost everyone will have their new ballots in. People were outraged when they realized the inconsistency. CNN quickly changed the headline to better reflect Trumps true comment. Trump stokes skepticism of Colorado voting system, the amended title reads. This is a very important distinction; Trump was not encouraging people to vote more than once. He was simply telling people to make sure their vote got where it needed to go. What do you think? Are you sick of the bias in the mainstream media? Does the American public need to hold them to higher standards of accountability? 
2	When you See What Barack Hussein Obama Just Did Last Night You Will Be FURIOUS As Americans everywhere struggle to put food on the table, President Barack Obama is busy living off the backs of hardworking taxpayers. This week, the Obamas threw yet another White House bash, inviting many liberal A-listers to come party with them before they leave office. Going until 4 AM, the party saw the likes of Paul McCartney and Meryl Streep. Members of VIP guest list were strictly banned from recording inside the party, where Barack and Michelle reportedly served chicken and waffles in the early hours of Saturday morning. But many A-listers posted photos of themselves outside of the event on social media. While Donald Trump struggled to staff his inauguration, Pharrell and Solange were said to have performeda blatant slap in the face to the President-elect. President Obama was rumored to be spotted on the dance floor with Robert De Niro, Common, and Usher. Though the Obamas were partying, the evening was probably bittersweet for the family, who has enjoyed their lavish lifestyle in the White House. With Donald Trumps inauguration less than two weeks away, their years in the spotlight are coming to a close. Over the years, the President and first lady have on occasionnot frequently, but on occasiontheyve hosted parties at the White House for their friends, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said of the event on Thursday. And I anticipate this is the last one that they have. What do you think of the Obamas party?

His name is Mohamad Elshinawy, and he pledged himself to ISIL and his soul was over there with the jihadists. Elshinawy admitted to attempting to cause mass distruction to Americans, and he masked his operation payments by selling printers through eBay. He used disposable phones, a trend that many ISIS terrorists have started and joined. Elshinawy was charged on Monday for attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, obstruction of agency proceedings, and making false statements/concealing material facts. Does Elshinawy deserve the death penalty for trying to murder innocent Americans? 
1	Local authorities were reportedly appalled and disgusted after discovering the brutalized remains of a Taco Bell meal strewn across a table at one of the fast-food chain's Tampa locations Monday. 'The smell was awfuljust awful,' Tampa police officer Ken Burkett said after covering the mutilated, barely recognizable value meal with a napkin. 'Someone really took their time with this one. We'll have to send it to the lab for analysis, but it appears that some of the remains are missing, possibly even eaten. Dear God.' Though there are still no leads on who is responsible for the gruesome mess or what their motives may have been for entering the restaurant in the first place, police say they believe the incident occurred sometime between 1 and 2 a.m.

3	Can the DEA Hide a Surveillance Camera on Your Land?Clarence Walker The ruling last October came in a motion to suppress the evidence obtained by the warrantless video cameras. After that ruling, the defendants, five members of the Magana family, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute marijuana and now face up to life in prison and up to $10 million in fines. But as part of the plea deal, they retained their right to appeal the ruling. And their attorneys say they are prepared to take the case all the way to the US Supreme Court. In their motion, they had asked the court to suppress evidence because of the propertys locked gate and No Trespassing sign. Since the properties were heavily wooded and posted with signs, the owners were entitled to an expectation of privacy, the attorneys say. That ones action could be recorded on their own property even if the property is not within the curtilage is contrary to societys concept of privacy, said Green Bay attorney Breet Reetz, who represents Marco Magana. It all began in rural Marinette County last May, when a fishermen reported to local authorities that he had been run off the land by two men who told him fishing is closed and that he had observed trees cut down and power lines running across the property. Authorities investigated and found the property and two more adjacent properties were owned by members of the Magana family, which had purchased them months earlier. Authorities left it at that until the following month, when a logger reported that when he had gone to check on a timber stand at one of the properties, he stumbled over a marijuana cultivation operation with more than 30 plants in a 50 x 50 clearing. The DEA then was called in and entered the Maganas properties without a warrant. Agents installed video cameras that eventually captured incriminating evidence of vehicles traveling in and out of the properties. It wasnt until the DEA observed some of the men handling what believed to be marijuana did they go and request a warrant. A warrant was signed and the agents, accompanied by several local sheriff officers, executed the warrant and arrested the men at separate addresses near Green Bay. The bust was big news in Marinette County. Youve got thousands of plants, and as healthy as they look, this is a big operation, Sheriff Jerry Suave told local reporters at the time. The grow is probably the largest Ive seen, he added. Before trial, set for the fall, counsel for the Maganas filed a motion to suppress the evidence, informing the court that videos from the surveillance camera showed dates that indicated that the camera had been running for 79 consecutive hours before DEA agent Steven Curran obtained a search warrant for the property. It is undisputed that the government trespassed without a warrant upon private property with visible No Trespassing signs posted, Reetz wrote in the motion, noting that the camera had operated from July 12 to July 15, but the warrant wasnt issued until July 17. Nor were there any exigent circumstances that would have allowed officers to enter the property without a warrant. Federal prosecutors were ready with a response. Officers entering an open field is not an area enumerated as protected under the Fourth Amendment, countered Assistant US Attorney for Eastern Wisconsin James Santelle. Open fields, woods, and private lands are not persons, houses, papers, and effects protected under the Constitution. That was good enough for Eastern Wisconsin US District Court Chief Judge William Griesbach, who dismissed the defense motion and ruled that it was legal for the DEA to go onto private property without a warrant to install multiple covert digital cameras, and to use the evidence they obtain that way to obtains warrants and in court. Citing US v. Oliver, Griesbach held that the rural properties were curtilage and not protected by the Fourth Amendment. But the Maganas attorneys and other legal experts argue that even though open fields are not considered curtilage, if No Trespassing or Private Property signs are posted on the land, the property owner should still be entitled to an expectation of privacy under the law. And they are willing to take their argument to the highest court in the land. We have become a nation of men and not a nation of laws, which, is what our founding fathers didnt want us to become, Reetz said. After formal sentencing, the case heads for the US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. If Reetz and Richards dont prevail there, it is on to the Supreme Court. If the court were to take up the case, it would once again have the opportunity to try to untangle the dilemmas that result when the Fourth Amendment runs up against new technologies, for better or worse.

1	Citing Emily Holman's right to feel safe traversing vast open spaces, especially when within visual range of clock towers, parking structures, and tall buildings, a judge awarded the 28-year-old a 3,000-yard restraining order yesterday against her former boyfriend, retired Marine sniper Gordon Lee Blackwood. 'When we broke up he started calling me 10 times a day from his job,' said Holman, who realized Blackwood's office building, which had an open, flat roof, was only 1,800 yards away. 'He had me flinching every time I saw sunlight glinting off any surface within two and a half miles.' Blackwood would not comment on the judge's decision, saying only that he still loved Holman and was trying to understand the distance and crosswinds that separated them.

3	Is It Possible Or Even Desirable To Be Mentally Prepared For Apocalypse?Julian Rose Its not important. What is important is to recognize that a combination of political corruption, corporate greed and military warmongering have pushed this planets ecological, social and cultural heart beat to the very edge of thrombosis. And that what stands behind this state of affairs is no longer a precipitous act of nature as may have been the case 10,000 years ago but a tightly knit enclave of power brokers. The power brokers agenda is, and has been, to foster the establishment of a destructive web, designed in such a way that the populace as a whole is subjected to a daily dose of toxic medicine, designed to instill an unbroken stream of anxiety and fear. They count on the fact that by this time, and in the face of a continued sustained bombardment, the great majority of the human race will have submitted to their protection having believed (until too late) that each new phase of the crisis is caused by something other than a planned takeover of the control levers of society. However, even the best of the dark sides plans are vulnerable. The prospect of a fast fall presents us with a very particular conundrum because it is hard for us to imagine an outcome that has no precedence at least in the last 10,000 years or so. I am talking about an essentially global collapse that happens on all fronts in relatively close time proximity to each other. To prepare for something one cannot quite imagine demands a special type of concentration. It requires acute observation and analysis of the patterns of the disintegration process already underway, not from one angle but from at least three or four. An observation process which then requires matching with intuitive insights. Our response to a perceived threat should always combine the intuitive and the rational. Then, finally, one should make up ones mind what action to take before things go critical. So any mental preparation for such an action needs to be preceded by prior consideration of an important fact: that the forces of good might increase in number and power at a faster rate than the forces of destruction are able to complete their demolition job. And that, if we lent our support more fully to the benign cause we ourselves could be involved in playing a part in turning around the ultimate outcome. In guiding and shaping the future of our planet. Whereas, by failing to lend our support and concentrating instead upon a personal survival plan, a worst-case scenario seems all the more likely to play out in full. So you see, the actual end result is not decided by the villains or by fate or by God. It is decided by us. We who have been provided with the physical, mental and spiritual wherewithal to fulfill this extraordinary mission. It is for this reason that I pose the question: is it even desirable to try to prepare for apocalypse? Should we not better direct our best concentration on addressing and confronting the cause? The danger is that by devoting oneself to the mental (and physical) preparation deemed necessary for surviving a worst-case scenario, one precludes moving forward into the field of action to help shift the balance of power away from impending doom. One holds back from supporting the great gathering of shared human creativity that would bring about a victory for the bearers of light. The two approaches are essentially at loggerheads with each other. I hear both. But most commonly today I hear calls to give up the impulse to take outward action in favour of the prepare for your survival inward reaction. Here it gets quite subtle: those who say beat the retreat often do so quoting a spiritual or religious doctrine. For example: drawing upon the ancient wisdom of the Chinese masters the Tao and the school of Lao Tsu. Here all is one in the great pool of absolute stillness. We find that place in us where time is no longer. There is no rush; nowhere to go; nothing to do. The state of the world is as it is. The manifest energy of the universe (dark and light) is harmonized in perfect balance and we mirror that eternal state. In this state we cease contributing to the worldly confusion. Its a deeply nourishing place to reside for an hour a day. As I see it this is the arrival point of the inner seeker. Of inner seeking. However and this is crucial it is not an end. It is simply a terminus. A transition point. It is the place where all roads converge and yet from which all roads expand out again. Like the spokes from the hub of a bicycle wheel. It is just one half of the breath the inhalation and its natural next movement is the other half of the breath the exhalation. It is only when inhalation and exhalation work in rhythmic counterpoint with each other that we find equilibrium, movement, change, creativity. To stop in the inner world any longer than it takes to refuel ones creative batteries is spiritual escapism and leads to deception and unwarranted self indulgence. Its another fold in the Veil of Maya and many appear to be trapped there. Should one elect to stay in that place of perfect stillness, one will eventually atrophy the outgoing breath and lose any inclination to sow the fruits nourished during the times of special inner peace. Spirit that has been well nourished wishes to go forth. Its natural instinct is outward. It wants to sow its seeds in the wider world. This is the outward breath of the creative, brought to birth by the inward repose of the subjective. Consider those trees whose seeds burst open in the crevices of great sea corroded cliffs! Thats an expression of the sheer tenacity of the outgoing spirit. Yet if it is not challenged but instead is locked into a cocoon, then even the spirit eventually becomes diluted and loses its unique social urge: the desire to go out amongst others to share, spread and fight for the propitious sowing of the divine energy. It is put about in some circles that a key part of mental preparation for an apocalyptic event is to see the forces driving the impending collapse as illusory. Whereas reality can only be experienced in the great stillness. The eternal now. The subversive power of this message lies in the fact that it appears to offer a convenient solution to the problem. Rather than go out into the storm and join with others in pushing forward the seeds of the new agenda one can seemingly stage a guiltless retreat into another world. One where there appears to be no sign of any looming crisis. Where one is absolved of the feeling that there is any useful purpose to be served by taking collective action to help stop the rot in the ailing world outside. At this point I want to state that physically and strategically repositioning oneself when confronted by the manifest expression of an anarchical police state is different. It is not turning ones back nor escaping. It is an essential component of taking action. One that provides a firmer basis for carrying on the resistance and planning the advance. It is part of the outward breath. One need only remind oneself of the horrors of Auschwitz to recognize what happens to those who fail to take critical strategic action when confronted by the close-up manifestations of a fascist takeover. So we must not confuse a conscious planned retreat and repositioning with an act of fear-based flight or retreat into an inner sanctuary of illusion. They are diametrically opposed positions. The repressive regime of an imposed hierarchical authority is currently manifest throughout the Western world and beyond. There are just two options for us in dealing with it: come together to bring down the offending house of cards or close ones eyes and retreat into the land of hope, prayer and self deception. A retreat which includes convincing oneself that when the police jackboot kicks down ones door it will still somehow not affect ones ability to reside in ones chosen sanctuary. Therefore, the value of devoting oneself to making substantial preparations for crisis time is, I believe, a false agenda. It plants in the human mind a delusional thought sequence whose origins lie closer to the center of the dark sides mind bending agenda than to the path of human and planetary emancipation. It offers spiritual escapism when what is called for is determined self assertion. A robust conviction concerning our God given power to overcome the forces of darkness that oppress us. We did not come here to hide ourselves away in some reserve of cosseted bliss we are here to build a new world based on love and truth. That is the action of the outward breath and if it involves, as a necessary condition of its success, the unmasking and unseating of that small enclave of empathy-numbed megalomaniacs who currently run the show then so be it. That is our prerogative. More than that our imperative. No one else is going to do it. I repeat: no one else is going to do it. Our courage is their downfall. Our cowardice is their fuel. Turn around now. Cease offering your divine blood to vampires. Set forth to defend this brave and beautiful planet. And remember: the angels wont act for us unless we act first. Thats the way it is.

1	Lifelong New York Yankees fan and construction worker Greg Snell, 44, told reporters yesterday that it would be 'a great honor' if the troubling and debilitating illness currently plaguing him was diagnosed as Lou Gehrig's Disease, the fatal neuromuscular disorder named after the Yankees legend. 'Let's face it, there's no way I can match what Gehrig did on the baseball field, but there's still a chance I got [ALS],' said Snell, adding that if his muscles were to gradually become smaller and weaker to the point of complete paralysis for the same reason Gehrig's did, he would consider himself the 'luckiest man on the face of the earth.' 'I've noticed my bricklaying skills diminishing, and, because I can no longer perform at the level I am used to, I'll soon be forced to take myself out of the construction site. I can only hope it's just like Gehrig.' Snell added that if he is not diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, he will attempt drink himself to death just like Mickey Mantle. 
1	Miss America 1996, 24-year-old Angela Pierce, was called into question Sunday during a special U.N. session for what many member nations believe to be her failed promise to effectively promote world peace. According to the U.N.s special secretary for world peace-related affairs Gavin Theweles, Your failure, Miss Pierce, to achieve world peace is in direct conflict with your stated promise to do so in the interview round of the 1995 Miss America Pageant. Pierce, a college student from Tacoma, WA, was censured in a U.N. resolution passed by the 64-nation body. It also made reference to her other failed promises, made during the gala pageant held in Atlantic City last July, declaring that she had not made the world a significantly safer and more loving place in which to raise her future children, and had only been marginally supportive of the other girls in the pageant. The committee did, however, commend Miss America for looking elegant in evening wear. 
1	A shrieking, sweat-soaked Tom Vilsack reportedly woke in a panic Tuesday night after the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture had a horrifying nightmare that he was thrown into a shallow grave by a giant ear of corn and then buried alive. Christie Vilsack confirmed that her husband had been tossing and turning in his sleep for 45 minutes until about 2:30 a.m., when he sat up in terror while throwing aside his sheets and screaming, 'Dear God, don't kill me!' and 'Keep your goddamn husks off of me.' The former Iowa governor was visibly exhausted in staff meetings the next morning as he recalled the harrowing details of the 'strikingly realistic' recurring nightmare in which a 10-foot tall ear of corn maniacally shovels dirt on top of his body while Vilsack pleads for his life. 'I'm walking alone through this barren cornfield in the middle of the night, and it's completely silent,' said Vilsack, speculating that perhaps the recent pressure he's been feeling about rising corn prices could have had something to do with the nightmare. 'Then this massive form blocks the moonlight and I feel something rough and dry sliding across my skin. Then two powerful husks wrap around my arms and feet and lift me from the ground. Next thing I know, this gigantic ear of corn is dragging me across the empty field towards a perfectly round hole in the ground.' 'I tried to ask why, to plead with it, but I couldn't speak because my teeth had turned to corn kernels and were falling from my gums,' Vilsack added. Tuesday's was only the most recent in a series of terrifying corn-based dreams suffered by the agriculture secretary since taking over the post in early 2009. According to Vilsack, he often dreams that he is delivering an important address to the nation on the importance of corn subsidies when he realizes that everyone in the audience is an ear of corn, and they are all laughing at him. In another common nightmare, Vilsack returns to his childhood home to find that the pond in his backyard is filled with rotting creamed corn, and his childrenwho are corn muffinsare drowning to death. In another dream, Vilsack goes from eating to kissing an ear of corn named Derek. 'It all seemed so realI still can feel the dirt on me and see every single kernel on the hulking ear of corn,' Vilsack said of the previous night's dream. 'And then it all switched and I was burying the corn and it was asking for help, saying I was making a mistake. The thing is, I didn't want to be burying the corn; I wanted to save the corn.' Vilsack, who, after waking, made several middle-of-the-night emergency phone calls inquiring about U.S. corn reserves, agonized over the meaning of the feverish dream. He told reporters he's narrowed it down to three possibilities: That the nation is running out of corn; that he must pay more attention to the needs of corn; or that a mighty maize empire will soon rise up and enslave humanity. Last week, Vilsack began attending regular counseling sessions with psychologist Dr. Jacob Collins to discuss his subconscious issues with the edible grain. 'Mr. Vilsack has already shown a lot of progress, and has really opened up about his thoughts, fears, and feelings about corn,' Collins said. 'While each person's specific behavior and past experiences influence their dreams, in this particular case I believe the corn in Mr. Vilsack's dreams represents corn.' Despite the growing concerns of family, friends, and co-workers, Vilsack insists that he doesn't always have chilling nightmares about corn and sometimes has wonderful dreams where he feels completely free while flying through a sky filled with corn or making love to a sexy cob with the most plump and juicy kernels. 
3	Underground Commerce is the Real EconomyJames Hall This shadow commerce, practiced throughout the world, is the real economy. Actually, in the United States, tax compliance is quite high by comparison. With the acceptance of instruments of credit, the banking system has become more of a tax reporting service than a financier of a healthy economy. The taxman would have you believe that voluntary transactions in cash constitute a black market in illegal dealing. Casting the aspersion of seedy activities upon the motivation to subsist is a common practice of governmental revenue agents. Building upon this attitude, a deceptive title to a USA report, $2 trillion underground economy aids recovery, would have you think constructive criticism returned to the mainstream press. Sorry to disappoint, you can always count on the Gannett media to be a government mouthpiece. Little is left of the free enterprise system. When a society imposes tax obligations and government regulations on garage sales upon property that the state has already collected their sales tax, the message is clear. You really own only a partial share of your items in partnership with the government. Several issues are involved with the business of holding a garage sale: Trivia you say, as rightly you should. However, the entire basis of acceptable claims upon the wealth of individuals must be re-examined. Now we all know that the courts have ruled that a government can virtually tax any transaction. Yet, by this tortured logic, the natural rights of an individual are violated by such an unrestricted decree. Terry Miller and Anthony B. Kim write in Defining Economic Freedom. By any reasonable standard, the real economy must be based upon voluntary transactions. Government extortion practitioners design the imposed partnership split, which is reported as the Gross Domestic Product economy. Tax collection is the habitual occupation of government. When tax penalties, onerously inflicted upon individuals for merely conducting business escalate, the natural result is that the engine of commerce slows. John Locke defends private property not for the sake of the rich and against the poor, but against possible unconstrained encroachment by the state. Thus, Lockes views on property play a role in his argument for limited political authority. Since the natural law underpins the relationship of the individual with government, it becomes imperative that taxation reflects the inherent ownership rights of the property holder. Therefore, when a purchase made in the marketplace with a tax assessed upon the cost paid, it is not proper that the state should compel any additional claim on the value of the same item if it is sold to another party in the future. The underground economy distinctly accepts this standard. However, government is not satisfied unless each future transfer reaps additional taxes. Just ask a buyer of a used car. How many times does a sale tax need to be extracted after the initial payment? Adopting the elimination of sales taxes for a consumption tax on a county and state level needs to become the correct approach. IRS bean counters would cry for a national VAT tax, like that in place in the EU, but that punitive burden would only benefit the growth in the Federal Government. As for taxing labor by designating toil as income, is even more preposterous. The progressive cultists want a taxing code that penalizes industrial initiative, while entrapping and rewarding a social welfare culture. Corporatist businesses use every trick and loophole to evade paying taxes. Yet this segment of the economy, characterized as legitimate business, processes withholding tax for their employees. For every company that manages the income tax theft racket, there are scores of underground business activities that enhance productive growth in a stagnant economy. Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany and France know well that the shadow economy is the real economy under socialism. As America descends deeper into the same abyss, more people will respond with creative and bold methods of doing tangible business.

2	Group Of Muslims Surround Man Of God At The Park [VIDEO] President Barack Obama likes to highlight the perceived injustice against Muslims in this country. Time and time again, he has come to the public defense of Islam, calling it a religion of peace. Meanwhile, Christians throughout this country are being attacked. Any symbol or display of faith in this country is being discouraged. Many Americans fear that the traditional values that our country was founded on are being forgotten. The true injustice here is that actions against Christians in this country are often ignored or being swept under the rug entirely by the mainstream video. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is it time for Christians in this country to be granted the equal respect that they deserve? 
1	Brazenly strolling through the rows of desks while pointing out the firms various departments to his two guests, Lodestone Media intern Nate Kapper, 19, made the incredibly bold move of giving his parents a tour of the companys offices Wednesday, sources reported. He brought his family through in the middle of the afternoon, and, right in front of everyone, he said, This is the desk where I work, communications manager Laura Dao said of the cavalier 15-hour-a-week employee who started two months ago and is sent home early most days due to a lack of tasks to complete. And then, once hed walked his parents around the entire floor, he went up to [senior director] Mary [Fullman] and introduced his parents to her directly. I think he even called her a good boss. Sources later confirmed seeing the teenager who earns a $350 monthly stipend taking his parents into the kitchen, where he offered them their choice of coffee or tea. 
1	Frustrating all those in attendance at Thursday nights game between the Oakland Athletics and the Houston Astros, a local dumbfuck shown on the stadiums Jumbotron decided to wait until the last goddamn second before waving to the camera, sources confirmed today. According to a multitude of spectators present at Houstons Minute Maid Park, the total dipshit was observed frittering away the vast majority of the narrow window of time in which he was displayed on the ballparks video board, seemingly unaware that tens of thousands of people were waiting for him to wave, smile, give a thumbs-up, or just do something, for Christs sake. Oh, you have got to be kidding me, said ticket holder Scott McDowell upon spotting the unidentified idiot featured on the large high-definition monitor who was completely fucking oblivious to the fact that he had suddenly become the focal point of the entire stadium. You only get a few seconds on the Jumbotron and youre going to spend them staring off into space as if you dont have a care in the world? Pull your head out of your ass, buddy. This is fucking unbelievable, McDowell added. Irritated onlookers confirmed that the total shit-for-brains appeared to be a white, middle-aged man evidently incapable of noticing the numerous indicators that his stupid-ass mug was appearing on the stadiums 45-foot-wide outdoor video screen. Several reports verified that the clueless bastard continued to zone out like he wasnt on the fucking Jumbotron despite efforts by a nearby individual attempting to alert the numbnuts by lighting tugging on his shirt, a man popping his head into the video screen frame and sticking out his tongue, and the growing roar of the entire goddamn crowd. Furthermore, countless individuals pointed out that no one else who had previously appeared on the screen over the course of the ongoing break between the fourth and fifth innings needed any help doing what youre supposed to do when youre lucky enough to get on the big board. This reportedly included the group of kids enthusiastically jumping and gesticulating in the right field bleachers, a pudgy, shirtless fan wiggling his belly, and an elderly couple wearing matching Scott Feldman jerseys, none of whom required more than half a second before they got with the fucking program. Come on, genius, get your shit together, onlooker Natalie Salinas told reporters moments after a brightly colored Look Up! text overlay appeared beneath the unobservant morons simulcast image. Its been almost 10 seconds now, and hes just lounging around like weve got all damn day for him to give us a wave and maybe a quick wink. Well, we dont. According to exasperated witnesses, as more and more seconds ticked by without the stupid prick moving his gaze 18 inches to the left and noticing thatsurprise, surprisehis big dopey face was being broadcast to a ballpark full of people, many predicted that the Jumbotron operator would be more than willing to cut his losses and leave the dimwit in the dust where he belonged. And that would serve him fucking right, sources noted. At this point, hes not going to salvage this one even if he jumps out of his seat and does the goddamn Nae Nae for these people, said attendee Luis Montoya. The most frustrating part about this is that I would kill to be on that screen right now. Everyone here would; people dream about this moment. And there he is without a care in the world, just eating up the clock like none of this matters. Its infuriating. Honestly, the best we can hope for now is that he happens to finally get his head out of the clouds and give us some halfhearted wave that the camera cuts away from while his hand is still hanging in the air, Montoya continued. At press time, yep, thats exactly what happened. Great. Just fucking great. 
1	According to friends and neighbors, local resident Robert Orr has repeatedly mentioned in casual conversation that he has been enshrined in the National Hockey League's Hall of Fame. 'Rob's such a jokerhe's always saying silly things about how he used to be this famous hockey player and how he scored all these goals and things,' said neighbor Maureen Norris, who has known Orr since he was 18 and remembers him as a 'hard-working boy' who used to travel out-of-state a lot for business before evidently taking early retirement. 'Sometimes it's like he really believes all that baloney, though, so I usually just play along.' Those closer to Orr, including his wife and two sons, became concerned about his mental health, however, when he started taking them to the annual NHL Hall of Fame induction ceremonies and pretending to know everyone in attendance. 
1	(CHICAGO)Calling it the next logical step in her celebrated career, and a groundbreaking achievement in applied quantum field theory, media giant Oprah Winfrey unveiled her latest project Monday: a completely separate realm of existence, known as >OpraH, which she will control on the subatomic level. 'Now, Oprah's always on!' Winfrey said through an interspatial image of herself broadcast between her world and ours. 'I've created a place where anyone can come to share and laugh and feel totally free from the conventional laws of the physical universe.' 'I invite you all to be guests in my new reality,' she added. This latest addition to Winfrey's empirewhich already includes her flagship talk show, a reality TV program, an influential book club, O magazine, the thoughts and emotions of millions of viewers, and two television networksis Oprah's first foray into large-scale nucleosynthesis. Developed over the past three years by the theoretical physics wing of her company, Harpo Productions, >OpraH was reportedly created by tearing a small hole in the fabric of known reality. The talk-show host then went about restructuring an infinite number of never-before-seen particles to produce a separate dimension, which is currently oscillating around Chicago. A scientific breakdown of the steps involved in constructing the new reality. According to her aides, Winfrey was personally involved in the most minute details of planning, from the type of coffee served in the green room of her new studio facility to the genetic makeup of every organism she deemed worthy of receiving life. 'Oprah has always been the queen of her time slot, and now she is the queen of Time,' said publicist Jackie Guerwith, who noted that Tuesday will be the first day of 'Year O' in Winfrey's reality. 'All events, sequences, and measurements of motion will now take place between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern.' Guerwith would not disclose how much Winfrey spent to construct >OpraH, but said that the Emmy Award winner had patented several particles, known as Winfrinos and Oprons, and was looking forward to making a difference in people's lives on a deep, molecular level. 'Oprah's working with Dr. [Mehmet] Oz right now to make some fun and exciting changes to the double-helix structure of common DNA,' Guerwith said. 'And because Oprah is so giving, you can also expect a few surprises in cellular reproduction, a new and improved visible light spectrum, and maybe even a visit from Gayle!' Added Guerwith, 'Whether it's rising from poverty to become the richest woman in America, or punching a wormhole through the multidimensional fabric of space-time in order to rule over her own universe, Oprah has proved once again that no obstacle is too big. While she claimed that many standard principles such as Hoyle's steady state theory and relativistic time dilation would function the same way in >OpraH as they do on Earth, Winfrey said the new reality will afford her the opportunity to accomplish some things that were 'just not possible' in the three-dimensional world of mortal humans. Certain concepts reportedly do not exist in >OpraH, including prejudice, greed, unsuccessful adaptations of Toni Morrison novels, the second law of thermodynamics, and human suffering. To begin populating her new Oprahverse, Winfrey reportedly instructed her staff biologists to obtain semen samples from some of her favorite celebrity guestsmost notably actors John Travolta and Denzel Washingtonand use them to fertilize eggs harvested from Julia Roberts. Winfrey also maintained that, in >OpraH, all women will be strong and confident while retaining their femininity, pollution will not exist, and no one will die of disease without first making an appearance on her show. 'This is all for you,' Winfrey told a live studio audience while she used her hands to split a uranium 235 atom following an interview with actor Sidney Poitier, her new biological father. 'I'm going to show you how to live your life better, easier, and more happily. I'm going to show you the best books and the best foods and the best fashions. I'm going to show you everything. Everything.' 'They say the universe is always expanding and contracting,' added a smiling Winfrey. 'But I'm going to make Pilates mandatory in >OpraH, because there ain't going to be any more expanding, if you know what I mean.' The crowd then burst into uncontrollable laughter for three minutes until a concentrated beam of light emanated from Winfrey's mouth and all fell silent. Despite the mostly positive feedback, a number of scientists have warned that because >OpraH is a solid-state representation of unstable probability fields, it could become dislodged from its self-generated foundation and move across dimensions into our own. 'If that were to happen, all known matter in the universe would implode instantaneously,' said Mark Chan, a professor of quantum mechanics at Caltech. 'But, God, I'm such a huge fan. Who doesn't love Oprah?' Though Chan's theory remains contested, every physicist interviewed for this article agreed that, even in >OpraH, the odds of Stedman ever proposing remain too small to calculate.

1	There's a lot of buzz building around Deadly Chemistry's next gig after we got a little on-air publicity from yours truly. We were already pretty pumped because the Orbit Room finally gave us a weekend gig after years of rocking Tuesday and Wednesday nights. But we've been polishing the set list pretty much non-stop whenever we aren't at work and the storage facility where we practice isn't too busy, and we are ready to shine on Saturday. If you're looking for an all-expenses paid (minus two-drink/one-appetizer minimum) ride down the synthpunk expressway, just print off 200 Deadly Chem street team flyers and send us a camera phone pic of you handing them out. We've still got 23 guest list spots left (four a piece, minus one of mine reserved for Wellsy if she decides to make the trip, fingers crossed), so get to it! Remember the Orbit Room is above the Chinese restaurant on Spielman St., and everyone's got to clear out by midnight because of the new downtown noise regulation ordinance that just got passed, which doesn't give us a ton of time to synth-rock out, but that just means we'll be packing it in for maximum distilled tunes. And from what I hear they got their liquor license back -- although I haven't gotten that confirmed, and if they haven't, then there's an additional $10 charge at the door on top of the $17 cover to make up for what they're missing on booze sales. Buy a CD or a tee and I'll cover it for you! Deadly Chemistry On Myspace! Head on over to the Myspace, friend us, join the Deadly Chemistry army! Dont be turned off by our low friend count. We had to delete our page and set up a new one after some 4channers hacked it for reasons unclear to me and put up a lot of penises.

1	Hours after being sentenced to seven years in prison for having sex with an underage prostitute and abusing his power, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was transferred today to the Genoan Womens Correctional Facility, a steamy, sultry all-female penitentiary on the Italian Riviera. We believe our prison will be the ideal environment for Mr. Berlusconi to serve his sentence and pay for the crimes he committed while in power, said the prisons warden, Isabella Santaro, 18, who added that Berlusconi would have to regularly contend with the prisons thousands of scantily clad prisoners and guards, sweltering hot temperatures, and daily cell-block group showers. This is a maximum-security facility, and while he is here, Mr. Berlusconi will spend the vast majority of his day locked down in a cage-like cell with two of our most notorious prisoners, the Sicilian lesbian robbery duo Sophia and Alexxxandra. Santaro added that Berlusconi will be strongly and repeatedly punished by the prisons staff at the first sign of naughtiness. 
1	Calling the overall human experience poignant, thought-provoking, and a complete tour de force, film critic Roger Ebert praised existence Thursday as an audacious and thrilling triumph. While not without its flaws, life, from birth to death, is a masterwork, and an uplifting journey that both touches the heart and challenges the mind, said Ebert, adding that while the totality of all humankind is sometimes a mess in places, it strives to be a magnum opus and, according to Ebert, largely succeeds at this goal. At times brutally sad, yet surprisingly funny, and always completely honest, I wholeheartedly recommend existence. If you havent experienced it yet, then what are you waiting for? It is not to be missed. Ebert later said that while human existences running time was a little on the long side, it could have gone on much, much longer and he would have been perfectly happy.

1	Less than 12 hours after devoting his entire Saturday to masturbating in a dimly lit room, local resident Ian Schiller, 25, advised a friend with whom he was eating brunch to 'seize the day.' 'Carpe diem, that's my motto,' Schiller said in response to his companion's quandary over whether he should ask out a woman from his office, despite Schiller's decision just one day earlier to bring himself to orgasm five times rather than enrich his own life in any way. 'Why shut yourself off from the world, man? You only live once.' Schiller then paused briefly to put on sunglasses, his eyes not yet fully readjusted to normal daytime light levels. Schiller Though he refrained from both showering and changing his underwear and socks during his near-marathon self-pleasuring, Schiller went on to extol the importance of living life to its fullest and never squandering a minute of one's precious time on this planet. 'You gotta make your move, man!' said Schiller, apparently not recalling the many hours he spent avoiding not only women, but all human contact and natural sunlight in favor of manually stimulating himself and intermittently dozing off in his computer chair. 'What, do you think she's just going to walk right up to you and ask you out? Go for it. There's nothing worse than regret.' Despite having ignored three phone messages from friends the previous dayurging Schiller to go to the beach, attend an outdoor concert, and go for a hike in nearby Olympic National Park, respectivelyso that he could open several Internet browser tabs to various pornographic video clips and allow them to load simultaneously to prevent interruption while he masturbated, Schiller stressed the importance of experiencing everything life has to offer. 'Read a book, write a letter, go to a museum,' Schiller said through a yawn, still visibly fatigued from his onanistic excess. 'Trust me, you have to take in as many of life's finer things as you can before your time's up. What's the point in living if you don't nourish your mind and soul?' 'You have to strive to improve yourself every day,' Schiller added, his stained, rumpled T-shirt a testament to his failure to complete even the simple task of doing laundry, a chore that would have taken precious time away from carefully spreading out a towel on a chair to catch the sweat from his nude exertions, tilting his laptop screen to just the right angle on his desk, and delicately folding a three-foot length of toilet paper over his erect penis in lieu of two tissues, since his Kleenex supply had been exhausted during an earlier masturbation session. Schiller then took pause from lecturing his brunch partner on the benefits of getting outside your comfort zone in order to hastily consume a ham and cheese omelet, his body depleted of proteins and nutrients from the previous day, when he was forced to eat two small meals of peanut butter and stale crackers in order to avoid running into his roommate in the kitchen. 'Variety is the spice of life,' he added. According to Schiller, much of the advice he offered is common sense, and can be tied to a greater life philosophy in which the day-to-day tribulations of human existence are tempered by sampling life's myriad pleasures and fulfilling one's potential as a well-rounded person. 'It's important to find an element of wonder in everything you do,' said Schiller, once more failing to mention the many hours of repetitive and joyless tugging at his genitals he very recently engaged in while wrapped in a filthy robe, his face illuminated only by the flat, cold light of a computer monitor. 'We're not on this earth for very long, so you have to make the most of it.' 'Life's too short to spend sitting around with your dick in your hand,' Schiller added. 
1	COEUR D'ALENE, IDRepression was the order of the day as the National Rifle Association's North Idaho Chapter held its annual convention this weekend. NRA member Jack Harwich admires a fellow member's piece, stirring potent new feelings within himself. More than 25,000 dedicated gun lovers from across Northern Idaho flocked to the Coeur d'Alene Convention Center for the two-day event, happily sublimating homosexual impulses amid a carefully maintained facade of platonic camaraderie. Moscow, ID, resident Richard Hoflinger, 47, a longtime gun-rights activist, exhibited the collection of antique rifles through which he has channeled his culturally unacceptable impulses. 'Guns should be part of any upstanding Christian family,' Hoflinger said, sticking a long, thick, oily pipe-cleaner 14 inches up an 1886 Remington. In the next booth, another latent gay man, Duane Erlich, moved his hand slowly up and down a well-polished 1948 Winchester. 'Ain't she a beautiful baby?' he said, displaying the kind of feminization/infantilization of firearms for which NRA members are renowned. Erlich then demonstrated the proper loading procedure for his 'baby,' lovingly inserting a pair of bullets into the dark, snug-fitting tunnels before thrusting the gun's bolt smoothly into the action, cocking it firmly. 'This'll blow a man straight to heaven,' he said. The tone of the event was set by chapter president John Henry Unger, whose opening remarks cited the 'wonderful variety of weaponry on display, from little snub-nosed pieces that fit snugly in your pocket to big, meaty shooters with barrels as thick as your arm.' Unger then fired his father's prize Colt Peacemaker revolver into the air, drawing raucous applause from the crowd, many of whose own fathers had suppressed latent physical attraction for their adolescent sons by channeling forbidden feelings into totemistic firearms. All over the convention floor, gun manufacturers proudly unveiled new technologies which will allow simmering homoerotic tensions to be expressed with greater nuance than ever before. At the Smith & Wesson booth, company spokesman Darrell Trace displayed a handgun made from a newly developed metal alloy whose 'incredibly hard' nature, he explained, gives it no recoil after use, providing its user with 'a far greater sense of control over his piece.' 'It's a very comfortable gun, very soft in the hands,' Trace added, noting that Smith & Wesson had designed the gun to appeal to 'shooters tired of coming home from the firing range with sore, worn-out wrists.' But even as conventioneers reveled in a two-day orgy of firearm-to-phallus transference, a dark cloud hung over the event. The NRA has declined in power over the last decade, and its once-potent lobbyists have come out on the small end of key legislative battles like the Brady Bill, causing many members to bring their lifelong subconscious fears of castration to the fore. 'If the gun-control lobby wants my rod, they'll have to yank it from my dead body,' said Pocatello-area bar-owner Joseph Greer, holding a tell-tale snub-nosed revolver. 'Those guys up there in Washington are tryin' to take our guns away, but we ain't gonna let 'em,' Greer continued, adding classic paternal displacement to the already rich psychosexual tapestry. 'No siree, Bob.' 
3	Vaccine Issues, British StyleCatherine J. Frompovich According to Freedom of Information documents released from UK government officials and confirmed by NSNBC International online[1], vaccines/vaccinations: Seemingly terrible lies, deceitful acts, and false information regarding public health issues and communicable diseases deliberately have been perpetrated upon the good citizens of the United Kingdom. Has anyone in that government or UK medicine been held accountable, prosecuted, or gone to jail? If not, why not? Perhaps the same can be said about the HPV vaccine problems in the USA, where no one in federal health agencies is paying attention to mounting vaccine harm. Child Health Safety [2] reports there was a thirty-year official cover-up in the UK about the harm vaccines were doing, just so more vaccines could be sold. All that came to light because of the dogged determination and good work of Lucija Tomljenovic, PhD, as reported in her paper where she says, Dr. Tomljenovic points out in her paper thatBy doing so, the JCVI/DH may have violated not only InternationalGuidelines for Medical Ethics (i.e., Helsinki Declaration and the International Code of Medical Ethics) [2] but also, their own Code of Practice. Furthermore, conspiracy is a crime in the UK and the USA, and is discussed on Wikipedia here. As a result of such government collusion, numerous children and adults have been harmedmany for life. So what did the British government do for those harmed during its conspiratorial thirty years of pushing vaccines and vaccinations without apparent regard to the harm vaccines were doing? The UK Vaccine Damage Payments Program In April 2008 the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) was combined with Vaccine Damage Payments. However, that dual agency was dissolved in October 2011, but each program remains autonomous and operates individually. Supposedly, disabled vaccinees are entitled to get a one-off tax-free payment of 120,000 called a Vaccine Damage Payment.[3] According to the June 17, 2013 update for Vaccine Damage Payment from GOV.UK,[4] persons who were vaccinated with the following vaccines and became severely disabledkey wordsdue to those vaccinations, could receive compensation and payment: The above paragraph is most significant as it confirms an unfortunate and deliberate mis-statements by many vaccine proponents that oral polio vaccines are safe. Factually, vaccines are not tested for being teratogens, i.e., capable of causing birth defects; plus, vaccines are capable of causing disease transmission to third parties referred to as vaccine shedding as substantiated by the DWPs remark regarding the oral polio vaccine. In order to be eligible for compensation for vaccine damage in the UK, vaccinees must have been given vaccinations in the UK or the Isle of Man, unless vaccinated as part of Armed Forces medical treatment. Vaccine Damage Claims 2000 to 2010 inclusive Heres where this writer thinks the British publicand children in particularhave been shafted because of the collusion the government undertook for thirty years knowingly pushing unsafe vaccines. According to Freedom of Information request 2012-4582,[7] there were 1,483 claims between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2010. If vaccines are safe, there should be no claims! Only 26 of those claims resulted in an award! The total amount paid for those awards was 2,600,000. It seems that compensation is based upon a vaccinee being severely disabled, i.e., experiencing at least a 60 percent disability. Shafted again! In the FOI request fulfillment, government officials said they were not able to supply details regarding how many of those successful claims resulted from the tetanus vaccine and the MMR vaccine. How interesting! Poor record keeping or deliberate withholding of information not to implicate the MMR vaccine? In Freedom of Information request 2012-3426,[8] the number of Vaccine Damage Payments for each year was requested, and provided. However, the chart below is at variance with what was stated in FOI 2012-4582 above, i.e., 26 claims settled or awarded, whereas in the chart below, 38 awards are listed. Apparently, whoever answered the FOI requests was not fully informed. What do you expect? Parents need to realize just how devious governments are in dealing with obvious health situations their vaccine misinformation campaigns created and create in collusion with vested interests, especially for thirty long years, as was the case in the UK, and may still be ongoing. USA Vaccine Damage Who, in their right mind, can trust government health agencies and comply with mandates that innocent children risk becoming vaccine damaged? Every countrys health agencies acknowledge vaccine damage occurs. In the USA, there is the VAERS reporting system, where to date over 300,000 vaccine damage reports have been filed. Additionally, Each year the VAERS receives 10,00020,000 reports of adverse events following immunization.[9] Coincidentally, there was a 4,250 percent increase in fetal deaths reported to VAERS after pregnant women received the flu shot![10] Barbara Loe Fisher, Co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center says, Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler estimated in a 1993 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association that fewer than 1 percent of all doctors report injuries and deaths following the administration of prescription drugs. This estimate may be even lower for vaccines. In one survey that our organization conducted in New York in 1994, only 1 doctor in 40 reported to VAERS.[11] Who says vaccines are safe? The sad fact about vaccine damage is that it will be parents who will be saddled with providing and financing lifelong healthcare especially when, as in the UK, a 60 percent severe disability threshold is enforced for vaccine damage eligibility. People and children, in particular deserve better treatmentespecially the truth about vaccines, I do believe.

3	The Basics of Ham RadioGaye Levy Today I continue the conversation with George Ure of Urban Survival as he shares his thoughts on the value of getting a ham radio license as well as an explanation of some ham radio basics for those of us that are just getting started with this mode of emergency communication. But first, what exactly is ham radio? According to Wikipedia: Amateur radio (also called ham radio) is the use of designated radio frequency spectra for purposes of private recreation, non-commercial exchange of messages, wireless experimentation, self-training, and emergency communication. The term amateur is used to specify persons interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without direct pecuniary interest, and to differentiate it from commercial broadcasting, public safety (such as police and fire), or professional two-way radio services (such as maritime, aviation, taxis, etc.). Someone who operates a ham radio is called a ham and is licensed to operate communications equipment over the public airwaves. All hams must have a basic knowledge of radio technology and operating principles, and pass an examination for the FCC license to operate on radio frequencies known as the Amateur Bands. These bands are radio frequencies reserved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for use by hams. That, in very general terms, covers the basics. Beyond that, I have asked George some questions about the most important things that a non-ham needs to know about the amateur radio hobby. Below, with his usual wit and humor, are his answers. Revisiting the Magic of Radio Part 2 George, tell me a little about the public safety aspects of ham radio Lots of ham radio clubs down here in tornado alley activate local ham nets to track severe weather and provide nearly instant on-scene reports to the Weather Service on things like precip rates, size of hail, and other useful information. In the event of flooding or major population displacements, like during hurricanes a few years back, hams were helping route people to least crowded shelters, and things like that. How does it work? I mean, where can ham radio talk? Well, the range of ham radio equipment depends on what frequency you want to use and the FCC has a wide range of radio spectrum set aside for ham radio use because so much of what we now take for granted was actually developed by hams. The easiest way to explain this is to think of the radio spectrum like a long measuring tape. The low frequency end of things would be the AM radio band which would be between -inch and 1.7-inches on the tape. Way up the tape, youd find the FM radio band beginning at 88-inches and going up to about 108-inches. In reality, instead of inches what were really talking about here is the frequency in Megahertz (millions of cycles per second of alternating current). But the measuring tape analogy is very useful to visualize easily how radio waves work. The part of the measuring tape between about -inch and 30-inches is special because it reflects off the ionosphere depending on what time of day or night it is. Above about 30-inches or so, at a frequency that varies called the maximum useable frequency, radio waves stop bouncing and become mostly line of sight. There are some exceptions such as ducted propagation, and when sunspots are just right, up to 60-inches can reflect. Remember: inches means Megahertz or MHz. The area from 3 inches/MHz up to 30-inches (MHz) is called the High Frequency spectrum and from 30 up to 300-inches (MHz) is the VHF spectrum. Above that you get into ultra-high frequency spectrum. As youve probably guessed, this is where the terms HF, VHF and UHF come from. The best beginner band is the 2-meter band up at 144 MHZ (or inches if youre thinking of that measuring tape). Finebut what could I actually do with a ham radio? Well, one thing you can do is cut down your cell phone to almost nothing. If you have even a very inexpensive starter VHF/UHF portable unit, such as the Wouxun KG-UV6D series radio which you can get for under $130, you could talk to SurvivalHubby (if he also had a radio) while he was 50 or even 100-miles away. You cant quite do away with your cell, though. There are restrictions on using a ham radio repeater to actually conduct business. You can call a doctor or dentist, though, or order food to go, but you cant use ham radio for your employer or in the course of regular business. When there was a 6.8 Seattle earthquake in February of 2001, I was able to know where all the disruptions were to traffic flow because I had a VHF radio in the car and with all phone lines jammed including cell, I was still able to communicate and keep in touch with family and friends. Plus, since I was able to here what was going on in Bremerton, I had a good idea of what the TV news choppers would be showing that night on the news Hold it! You said above 30 MHZ, or so, radio waves became mostly line-of-sighthow do I talk to SurvivalHubby on a ham radio from the San Juan Islands to Seattle? This is the really cool part of VHF ham radio: Ham clubs have sponsored what are called repeaters that are on top of many tall buildings, mountains, and so forth. Its a very sophisticated network and in some instances, these high elevation repeaters can be linked. Or, as another network, you can go from a repeater to the internet using voice over IP and then pop out of another repeater. So from up in the San Juan Islands you might be able to talk to someone in eastern Oregon. The Seattle Mike and Key Club has a Puget Sound repeater list over here, but they are all over the country and if you want the definitive source, pick up the ARRLs definitivenational Repeater Directory which has about everything imaginable in it when it comes to repeaters. And the American Radio Relay League, which is the largest national ham radio group, has a nice summary of repeater operations and much more over here on their web site. Hams will move signals around a lot of other creative ways, too. One that I have on my bucket list is doing some 1296 MHz EME (earth-moon-earth) contacts. You point a good-sized dish with a little bit of UHF power and you can use the moon as a passive reflector! Of course theres also Aurora scatter and meteor-scatter and tropo-scatter, but I got my fill of tropo in my younger days. Meteor-scatter is pretty cool, though. Theyre hitting earth all the time since space is not exactly empty. Is Morse Code still required? I know it used to be. No, the Morse code requirement went away years ago. In fact, the ham radio licensing is set up now so you can go all the way to the highest class of license called the Extra Class without having to learn a single dit or dah of Morse. On the other hand, you will find some of those Extra Class questions challenging because there is so much you can do with ham radio. Like what? I happen to personally enjoy four or five aspects of the hobby a lot and when I explain what they are, youll see what I mean about a wide spectrum of technical knowledge. I happen to like Morse Code myself because its an important other language. If I ever had a stroke, for example, or were incapacitated and unable to speak, I could still communicate by tapping a finger or toe. I didnt used to think about that but as 65 comes closer, those kinds of thoughts do come up. The second thing I like to do is built and use my own equipment. So, for example, I get a great kick out of using a low power Morse transceiver I built to communicate with Europe, the Middle East, and Asia on the 20 meter/ 14MHz (inch, right?) band. Using very low power (all of 4 watts) I can communicate all over the world and to me that is a really neat skill.like fishing, but with radio waves. Third thing I like to do is talk to my son, who is also an Extra Class ham, who lives in Kirkland, Washington. We often hook up on voice (single sideband) on 14.160 MHz. Fourth? Well, I enjoy both the digital modes and slow scan television. As a result of hooking my radio up through an interface to my computer, I can move pictures around the country without using the internet or a phone line! You can hear the sounds often on 14.230 MHz and its a warbling noise. If you just want to have a kind of personal teletype you can use a mode called PSK-31 which for long distances if often found between 14.070 and 14.080 MHz. Its like internet chat, except theres no internet involved. You just text back and forth. Ive talked to all kinds of people that way, in places like Guatemala, Cuba, most everywhere in Europe, Russia, Japan, and so on. Number Five? Elaine and I use ham radio to keep in touch when I run to town and we use 2-meters here on the ranch all the time. Its not smart to be out in the brush, a block or three from the nearest human where there are wild pigs, snakes, and occasionally packs of wild dogs (dont start me on irresponsible pet owners!). With a two-meter radio I can always get help if I need itso in a very personal way, ham radio is something we use all the time. How hard is the test to get a Ham License? A great starting point is to download and read Dan Romanchiks The No-Nonsense, Technician Class License Study Guide which is available for free on the KB6NU website here. Then visit the ARRL website and search for a class near you because thats the easiest way to get hooked up to take the test after going through the classroom part. Some classes are one day, others get into more details and are two days or longer. Some people want to know everything while others just want to get a book and take a test. Thats all according to your personal learning style and how you want to approach it. I understand youve been a ham since 1963so in that time what are the kinds of things that stick out in your mind as high points of the hobby? Oh, gosh, there are so many Ive never stopped to think about it. Helping my late neighbor (W7IMF) run phone patch traffic for 1964 Alaska Good Friday Earthquake victims was a standout. Doing a live new interview via ham radio with a DC-10 flying through the zone of totality of a total eclipse over central Oregon, would certainly be up there, too. A lot of people who you might not think about as being ham radio operators are neat to meet: Ive talked to Barry Goldwater, the US base at McMurdo Sound in the Antarctic, late Jordanian president King Hussein, and scads of others. I mean starting back with the founding of the ARRL, Hiram Percy Maxim, W1AW invented the silencer for firearms and one of the early electric vehicleshams do tend to live about 10-minutes (or longer) in the future. Linux Kernel developer Ted Tso is a ham, so was Bob Moog of synthesizer fame. Maybe you knew late-night radio guru Art Bell is a ham, but how about Walter Cronkite? Former CBS News president Bill Leonard Or John Sculley of Apple who used to be active and Steve the Woz, too and in aerospace youve got Dick Rutan and General Curtis Lemayso I dont know how you top that except to say every shuttle mission had at least one ham astronaut onboard it was required. Lots of musicians, too: Ronnie Milsap, Chet Atkins, Joe Walsh of the Eagles along with Stu Cook who was the bass player with Credence Clearwater. A little more current? How about Sir Mix A lotrumor has it. Hell, I didnt know Gary Shandling or Sheri Bellafonte-Behrens was a ham till I looked at an online directory of famous hams over here. And I guess thats the fun of the hobbyyou dont know when you call CQ meaning looking for someone to talk to whos going to come back to you. It could be someone famous, or it could be a lonely trucker driving across the Dakotas, or a DX-pedition to some rare island out in the middle or nowhere, to a robotics specialist in Japan whos into the hobby. Its just a heck of a lot of funand thats why some of us do ham radio types would rather talk, text, or code instead of vegging out watching so much TV. The Final Word This is a lot of information to absorb but good information. As George tells me, if you are looking for an interesting hobby with a prepping angle to it, start with shortwave listening and then move on to ham radio. The way he tells it, it sounds a lot easier than I originally thought. Now all I need to do is get started. What about you? Do you have some ham radio tips to share with a ham radio newbie like me?

2	Watch This Classic Christmas Clydesdale Budweiser Advertisement That Will Never Be Shown on TV Again [VIDEO] If you want to see the changing attitude of Americans during the holiday season, you need look no further than at how advertisements have evolved over the year. Where we once say horses, snow, Santa and bellswe now see ads targeted toward a younger, less nostalgic generation. Just look at Budweiser for instance. In this ad from 2012, you see horses making snowballs with their hooves before eventually breaking into a full blown snowball fight. Whimsical and innocent, this ad was perfect for the holiday season. Now, in an attempt to appeal to todays youth, Budweiser is running ads with Jay Z, rock festivals and zombies. What do you think? Is this just part of a growing trend in America to move away from the Christmas spirit? Do we need to bring commercials like this back? 
3	USDA Set to Approve Horse Meat Slaughter in the USselfnews Post Horse meat hasnt been legally produced in the United States since 2007, but the USDA is expected to approve a horse slaughterhouse in New Mexico within the next two months, according to the New York Times. Stephanie Storm of the New York Times reports: The lawsuit by Valley Meat charges that the USDA did not do their job under the Federal Meat Inspection Act which states they must provide inspection for the slaughter of all amenable species including including cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, horses and mules. The lawsuit is also supported byprominent ranching organizations like International Equine Business Association (IEBA), R-CALF USA, the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association (SDSGA), and the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association (NMCGA). Beginning in 2006, when inspections were temporarily prohibited, these U.S. horses continue to be slaughtered in foreign countries like Mexico and Canada, Bill Bullard, CEO of the R-CALF cattle organization,wrote in an affidavitof support of Valley Meat. We believe the Mexicans do not adhere to the same humane standards as in the United States, and so some of our members wont sell their horses. The Humane Society disagrees with slaughtering horses for human consumption on principle. In a statement they wrote the following: What are your thoughts about horse meat re-entering the U.S. market?

3	WHOs Osteoporosis Myth: The Dangers of High Bone Mineral DensitySayer Ji, Contributor Osteopenia (1992)[i] and Osteoporosis (1994)[ii] were formally identified as skeletal diseases by the WHO as bone mineral densities (BMD) 1 and 2.5 standard deviations, respectively, below the peak bone mass of an average young adult Caucasian female, as measured by an x-ray device known as Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, or DEXA). This technical definition, now used widely around the world as the gold standard, is disturbingly inept, and as we shall see, likely conceals an agenda that has nothing to do with the promotion of health. Deviant Standards: Aging Transformed Into a Disease A standard deviation is simply a quantity calculated to indicate the extent of deviation for a group as a whole, i.e. within any natural population there will be folks with higher and lower biological values, e.g. height, weight, bone mineral density, cholesterol levels. The choice of an average young adult female (approximately 30-year old) at peak bone mass in the human lifecycle as the new standard of normality for all women 30 or older, was, of course, not only completely arbitrary but also highly illogical. After all, why should a 80-year olds bones be defined as abnormal if they are less dense than a 30-year olds? As if to fill the void left by the HRT debacle and the disillusionment of millions of women, the WHOs new definitions resulted in the diagnosis, and subsequent labeling, of millions of healthy middle-aged and older women with what they were now being made to believe was another health condition, serious enough to justify the use of expensive and extremely dangerous bone drugs(and equally dangerous mega-doses of elemental calcium) in the pursuit of increasing bone density by any means necessary. One thing that cannot be debated, as it is now a matter of history, is that this sudden transformation of healthy women, who suffered no symptoms of low bone mineral density, into an at-risk, treatment-appropriate group, served to generate billions of dollars of revenue for DXA device manufacturers, doctor visits, and drug prescriptions around the world. WHO Are They Kidding? Osteopenia is, in fact, a medical and diagnostic non-entity. The term itself describes nothing more than a statistical deviation from an arbitrarily determined numerical value or norm. According to the osteoporosis epidemiologist Dr. L. Joseph Melton at the Mayo Clinic who participated in setting the original WHO criteria in 1992, [osteopenia] was just meant to indicate the emergence of a problem, and noted that It didnt have any particular diagnostic or therapeutic significance. It was just meant to show a huge group who looked like they might be at risk.[iii] Another expert, Michael McClung, director of the Oregon Osteoporosis Center, criticized the newly adopted disease category osteopenia by saying We have medicalized a nonproblem.[iv] In reality, the WHO definitions violate both commonsense and fundamental facts of biological science (sadly, an increasingly prevalent phenomenon within drug company-funded science). After all, anyone over 30 years of age should have lower bone density than a 30 year old, as this is consistent with the normal and natural healthy aging process. And yet, according to the WHO definition of osteopenia, the eons-old programming of our bodies to gradually shed bone density as we age, is to be considered a faulty design and/or pathology in need of medical intervention. How the WHO, or any other organization which purports to be a science-based medical authority, can make an ostensibly educated public believe that the natural thinning of the bones is not normal, or more absurdly: a disease, is astounding. In defense of the public, the cryptic manner in which these definitions and diagnoses have been cloaked in obscure mathematical and clinical language makes it rather difficult for the layperson to discern just how outright insane the logic they are employing really is. So, lets look closer at the definitions now, which are brilliantly elucidated by Washington.edus published online course on Bone Densitometry, which can viewed in its entirety here. The Manufacture of a Disease through Categorical Sleight-of-Hand On the other hand, if one uses the Z-score, which compares your bones to that of your age group, something remarkable happens: a huge burden of disease disappears! In a review on the topic published in 2009 in the Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 30-39% of the subjects who had been diagnosed with osteoporosis with two different DXA machine models were reclassified as either normal or osteopenic when the Z- score was used instead of the T-score. The table therefore can be turned on the magician-like sleight-of-hand used to convert healthy people into diseased ones, as long as an age-appropriate standard of measurement is applied, which presently it is not. Bone Mineral Density is NOT Equivalent to Bone Strength As you can see there are a number of insurmountable problems with the WHOs definitions, but perhaps the most fatal flaw is the fact that the Dual energy X-ray absorpitometry device (DXA) is only capable of revealing the mineral density of the bone, and this is not the same thing as bonequality/strength. While there is a correlation between bone mineral density and bone quality/strength that is to say, they overlap in places they are not equivalent. In other words, density, while an excellent indicator of compressive strength (resisting breaking when being crushed by a static weight), is not an accurate indicator of tensile strength (resisting breaking when being pulled or stretched). Indeed, in some cases having higher bone density indicates that the bone is actually weaker. Glass, for instance, has high density and compressive strength, but it is extremely brittle and lacks the tensile strength required to withstand easily shattering in a fall. Wood, on the other hand, which is closer in nature to human bone than glass or stone is less dense relative to these materials, but also extremely strong relative to them, capable of bending and stretching to withstand the very same forces which the bone is faced with during a fall. Or, take spider web. It is has infinitely greater strength and virtually no density. Given these facts, having high bone density (and thereby not having osteoporosis) may actually increase the risk of fracture in a real-life scenario like a fall. Essentially, the WHO definitions distract from key issues surrounding bone quality and real world bone fracture risks, such as gait and vision disorders.[v] In other words, if you are able to see and move correctly in our body, you are less likely to fall, which means you are less prone to fracture. Keep in mind also that the quality of human bone depends entirely on dietary and lifestyle patterns and choices, and unlike x-ray-based measurements, bone quality is not decomposable to strictly numerical values, e.g. mineral density scores. Vitamin K2 and soy isoflavones, for instance, significantly reduce bone fracture rates without increasing bone density. Scoring high on bone density tests may save a woman from being intimidated into taking dangerous drugs or swallowing massive doses of elemetal calcium, but it may not translate into preventing osteoporosis, which to the layperson means the risk of breaking a bone. But high bone mineral density may result in far worse problems. High Bone Mineral Density Breast Cancer One of the most important facts about bone mineral density, conspicuously absent from discussion, is that having higher-than-normal bone density in middle-aged and older women actuallyINCREASES their risk of breast cancer by 200-300%, and this is according to research published in some of the worlds most well-respected and authoritative journals, e.g. Lancet, JAMA, NCI. (see citations below). While it has been known for at least fifteen years that high bone density profoundly increases the risk of breast cancer and particularly malignant breast cancer the issue has been given little to no attention, likely because it contradicts the propaganda expounded by mainstream womans health advocacy organizations. Breast cancer awareness programs focus on x-ray based breast screenings as a form of early detection, and the National Osteoporosis Foundations entire platform is based on expounding the belief that increasing bone mineral density for osteoporosis prevention translates into improved quality and length of life for women. The research, however, is not going away, and eventually these organizations will have to acknowledge it, or risk losing credibility. Journal of the American Medical Association (1996): Women with bone mineral density above the 25th percentile have 2.0 to 2.5 times increased risk of breast cancer compared with women below the 25th percentile. Journal of Nutrition Reviews (1997): Postmenopausal women in the highest quartile for metacarpal bone mass were found to have an increased risk of developing breast cancer, after adjusting for age and other variables known to influence breast cancer risk. American Journal of Epidemiology (1998): Women with a positive family history of breast cancer and who are in the highest tertile bone mineral density are at a 3.41-fold increased risk compared with women in the lowest tertile. Journal of the National Cancer Institute (2001): Elderly women with high bone mineral density (BMD) have up to 2.7 times greater risk of breast cancer, especially advanced cancer, compared with women with low BMD. Journal Breast (2001): Women in the lowest quartile of bone mass appear to be protected against breast cancer. Journal Bone (2003): Higher bone density (upper 33%) is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of breast cancer. European Journal of Epidemiology (2004): Women with highest tertile bone mineral density (BMD) measured at the Wards triangle and at the femoral neck are respectively at 2.2-and 3.3-fold increased risk of breast cancer compared with women at the lowest tertile of BMD. View additional citations on the breast cancer-bone density link. The present-day fixation within the global medical community on osteoporosis prevention as a top womens health concern, is simply not supported by the facts. The #1 cause of death in women today is heart disease, and the #2 cause of death is cancer, particularly breast cancer, and not death from complications associated with a bone fracture or break. In fact, in the grand scheme of things osteoporosis or low bone mineral density does not even make the CDCs top ten list of causes of female mortality. So, why is it given such a high place within the hierarchy of womens health concerns? Is it a business decision or a medical one? Now, when we consider the case of increased breast cancer risk linked to high bone mineral density, being diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis would actually indicate a significantly reduced risk of developing the disease. What is more concerning to women: breaking a bone (from which one can heal), or developing breast cancer? If it is the latter, a low BMD reading could be considered cause for celebration and not depression, fear and the continued ingestion of inappropriate medications or supplements, which is usually the case following a diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis. We hope this article will put to rest any doubts that the WHOs fixation on high bone density was designed not to protect or improve the health of women, but rather to convert the natural aging process into a blockbuster disease, capable of generating billions of dollars of revenue.

1	Speaking unto an audience of anti-immigration advocates, global-warming deniers, and members of the Tea Party Nation, former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin gave forth utterances Monday that reportedly opened the sixth seal of the Book of the Apocalypse. 'Wow, it's good to be here, just shootin' the breeze with a bunch of real, hardworking Americans who love their freedom,' said Palin, her words echoing across the Idaho Falls Civic Auditorium as mighty tremors caused great unrest beneath the land and the sea. 'So are the little guys like you and me gonna fight these Washington insiders with their big government agenda? You betcha we are!' And lo, there was then a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair; and the moon became as blood; and 'gosh' was spoken repeatedly; and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken by a mighty wind. And the 10th mention of 'small town folk' brought forth a great belching chasm of death and dust. These disturbances reportedly went unnoticed by the audience, however, as their thunderous applause drowned out the sound of the foretold cataclysm. 'This Tea Party movement just goes to show ya that America is ready for another revolution,' Palin said as things long ago divined came finally to pass. 'Who do you think is gonna stand up for the freedoms promised by our Founding Fathers? Folks like us, or some socialist professor of constitutional law in the Oval Office?' It was then, witnesses claim, that there was a tearing of the heavens, and the skies receded as does a scroll when it is rolled up, and anecdotes about everyday middle-class Alaskan families were enunciated in down-to-earth tones. 'That's right, partner,' Palin said, as every mountain and island moved from its place, and flames overtook the lakes and the rivers and the seas. 'Thanks, but no thanks.' According to biblical scholars, the opening of the seven seals described in the Book of Revelation will usher in the End Times, the Tribulation, the reign of the Antichrist, and the eventual salvation of the 144,000 chosen few. It is thought that the sixth seal's opening will bring about the full fury of God, leading ultimately to the Day of Wrath. 'Admittedly, this is not what we were expecting,' said Robert Harwood, a doctor of divinity at the University of Cambridge. 'The Bible speaks of a beast with seven horns and seven eyes, not a raven-haired woman from the north who knows not what foolishness she speaks of.' 'Still, there's no denying it,' Harwood added. 'The End of Days is upon us.' One member of the crowd not torn apart by swarming harpies told reporters he feared living in a country where his daughters would grow up speaking Spanish and not be allowed to carry handguns. 'Palin for president!' Bill Coleman, 37, of Topeka, KS chanted, and the stench of flesh rotting in the belly of Satan rose up, and the stench of death rose up. 'Sarah Palin for president!' 'Small town folksthe folks who grow our food, run our small businesses, and teach our kidsare getting pretty riled up by President Obama's big socialist ideas,' Palin spoke as the stage upon which she stood was rent apart by an unseen hand, opening as unto a great chasm, whose gaping void she narrowly escaped by clinging to the podium. 'Uh how's that hopey-changey stuff workin' out for ya?' Palin added. Chaos and disorder then spread across hill and valley to every corner of the earth, eyewitnesses reported, and as the minions of the Antichrist prepared for their millennium of world dominion, even the teeming masses of heathens could not in their hearts deny that the final phase of Armageddon was close at hand, and that you're darn right Joe Six-Pack pays too many taxes already. The Antichrist, whose true identity remained unknown as of press time, will reportedly come to torment the sinners of humanity as soon as the seventh and last remaining seal is opened. 'I'm so happy that we've got the liberal left running scared,' Palin concluded. 'Because whatever the TV pundits might want you to think, from where I'm standing, the future looks really good.' 
2	Immigrant Mother Of 11 Says She Loves Welfare And Will Never Go Back To Her Country There was once a time when being on a federally funded program to survive was a bit of an embarrassment, but now it appears that some people are wearing handouts like a badge. Such is the case with this immigrant mother, who has 11 children for which she receives help from the government. When asked about being on welfare, she told reporters that she will never go back to her country of Slovakia because she will not be able to receive the assistance she does now. She currently receives $40,000 a year in help, which she uses to feed her 11 children and 11 grandchildren. She does not work a full time job, nor does she have any real desire to look for one. Yet, she is receiving more than some people who are working full-time jobs are, and now, 10 of her children are on welfare themselves. Clearly, she is passing her habits on to her children. What do you think? Are people like this what is wrong with the system? 
3	Why Are Dozens Of High Ranking Officers Being Purged From The U.S. Military?Michael Snyder As you will see below, dozens of highly decorated military leaders have been dismissed from their positions over the past few years. So why is this happening? When I was growing up, my father was an officer in the U.S. Navy. And what is going on right now is absolutely crazy especially during a time of peace. Is there a deliberate attempt to reshape the military and remove those that dont adhere to the proper viewpoints? Does someone out there feel a need to get officers that wont cooperate out of the way? Throughout world history, whatever comes next after a military purge is never good. If this continues, what is the U.S. military going to look like in a few years? Perhaps you are reading this and you think that purge is too strong a word for what is taking place. Well, just consider the following quotes from some very highly decorated retired officers Retired Army Major General Patrick Brady: There is no doubt he (Obama) is intent on emasculating the military and will fire anyone who disagrees with him. Retired Army Lt. General William G. Jerry Boykin: Over the past three years, it is unprecedented for the number of four-star generals to be relieved of duty, and not necessarily relieved for cause. Retired Navy Captain Joseph John: I believe there are more than 137 officers who have been forced out or given bad evaluation reports so they will never make Flag (officer), because of their failure to comply to certain views. According to the Blaze, one anonymous Pentagon official has said that even young officers have been told not to talk about Obama or the politics of the White House Now this trend appears to be accelerating. We have seen a whole bunch of news stories about military officers being dismissed lately. Almost always, a legitimate reason is given for the dismissal. And without a doubt, if a military officer is actually behaving unethically, that officer should be held accountable. However, the reality is that everyone has skeletons in the closet, and if you really want to get rid of someone it is usually not too hard to find a way to justify your decision. The following are excerpts from three news stories about military officers in trouble that have come out so far in 2014 #1 The Air Force Times: A group of former Air Force majors, forced out this summer by a noncontinuation board, plans to file a lawsuit claiming the service had no right to separate them simply to meet end-strength numbers set by Congress. More than 10 of the 157 dismissed majors are banding together to challenge the move in court, seeking either reinstatement or early retirement pay. All 157 had been twice passed over for promotion and were within six years of retirement. #2 Defense News: Acting US Navy Undersecretary Robert Martinage, the departments No. 2, has resigned under pressure, sources confirmed for Defense News. The resignation, which Martinage announced to his staff Tuesday morning, came after allegations were made of inappropriate conduct with a subordinate woman, the sources confirmed. #3 Huffington Post: The Air Force says 34 nuclear missile launch officers have been implicated in a cheating scandal and have been stripped of their certification in what is believed to be the largest such breach of integrity in the nuclear force. Some of the officers apparently texted to each other the answers to a monthly test on their knowledge of how to operate the missiles. Others may have known about it but did not report it. The cheating was discovered during a drug investigation that involves 11 Air Force officers across six bases in the U.S. and England. The following is a list of high ranking military officers that have been dismissed over the past few yearsthat has been circulating all over the Internet. I think that you will agree that this list is quite stunning So what do you think about all of this? Do you believe that a purge of high ranking military officers is taking place?

1	After scoring a reported 6 on his first attempt at the Wonderlic intelligence test at last week's NFL combine, draft specialists have called into question whether University of Texas quarterback Vince Young possesses the intellectual vigor to be a successful quarterback in the NFL. The Wonderlic, a 12-minute, 50-question exam that evaluates a player's ability to learn on the job and solve complex problems, has become the centerpiece of the NFL scouting combine's player-evaluation process, especially at the quarterback position. Many teams, such as the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers, all but ignore arm strength, field vision, attitude, and leadership ability, electing to use a player's Wonderlic score as the sole basis for choosing a quarterback on Draft Day. 'We originally thought quite highly of Young, who ran a seemingly complicated offense at Texas,' said Houston Texans general manager Charley Casserly. 'He had all the tools needed to score well on a standardized test in this league. Vince's completion percentage got higher every year, he was good at picking up the blitzes, and his ability to organize an audible at the line of scrimmage was unequaled in college ball. But his inability to answer story problems, diagram sentences, and solve simple geometric equations makes us wonder if he's really as smart on the field as he's been playing.' Texans scouts observing the Wonderlic test said Young obviously struggled throughout, often fixating on his primary answer, 'A,' and never checking down to the other options on any given question unless pressured, when he would almost always throw it up to 'all of the above.' Moreover, Young's awkward mechanics during the exam drew criticism from onlookers, as he instinctually reverted to a sidearm-style delivery that often resulted in the incomplete filling-in of circles. The Tennessee Titans, who have the third pick in the draft, had also been interested in drafting Young. Offensive coordinator Norm Chow, however, has confirmed that the interest has diminished in the wake of Young's low Wonderlic score. 'We have to consider Young based on the numbers he's put up,' Chow said. 'If Young's 6-for-50 completion rate on this series of assorted multiple-choice questions tells us that he's not a superior athlete, who are we to argue?' Houston, the team with the No. 1 pick in this year's draft, had been considering replacing quarterback David Carr with popular hometown hero Young. However, for all his problems on the field, Carr scored a 24 on his Wonderlic before being taken first overall in the 2002 draft. 'Let's face ittrading an untested 6 for a known 24 is a recipe for disaster,' Casserly said. 'If Vince Young can't tell us how many 29-cent loaves of bread can be purchased with the $3.49 in his pocket, how can we expect him to understand the two-minute drilllet alone his own quarterback rating?' Texans owner Bob McNair was even more emphatic. 'Vince is definitely the sexy choice here,' said McNair, who is reluctant to draft another 'Wonderlic bust' such as 14-point-scoring washout Dan Marino. 'He's a Houston native, he can make all the throws, has a great ability to see down the field, and there's no denying he brought the NCAA championship back to the great state of Texas. But at this club, we have high intellectual standards. We believe that the fans in Houston deserve someone who can at least match his jersey number on a problem-solving test.' The Texans are not the only team shying away from the athletic, battle-tested Young following his unusually low score on the timed, multiple-choice test. Scouts and coaches from around the league could not say for certain how far Young's stock might yet plummet. 'We expected [Young] to score somewhere in the neighborhood of Vinny Testaverde, Ben Roethlisberger, or Brett Favreinstead, he tested more like a Randall Cunningham, Donovan McNabb, or Michael Vick,' said a source within the Atlanta Falcons organization, who asked not to be identified. 'At this juncture, we are uncomfortable saying this poor-testing quarterback can take us to the next level.' According to Casserly, many quarterbacks have struggled to adjust to the complicated offenses in the National Football League. He referred to the struggles of Chad Pennington, a Rhodes Scholar finalist at Marshall University who has underperformed in his six years in the NFL. 'The Jets couldn't get an actual Rhodes Scholar, and now they're paying the price for settling for a mere finalist,' Casserly said. 'We're glad that we can still avoid making that same mistake.' 
1	Confirming years of speculation, a new study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Animal Health Monitoring System has found that red meat significantly increases the risk of premature death in cows. 'Our research suggests that by having red meat, a cow's life can be shortened by as many as 10 years, sometimes more,' Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in an interview with CNN Tuesday. 'Unfortunately, in some cases, even just a single daily serving of red meat can hurt a cow's chances of surviving past the earliest stage of life.' On a more positive note, researchers found that other high-protein foods like milk, cheese, and butter only decrease a cow's life by 7 to 9 years. 
2	New Investigation Surfaces, This Completely Ruins George W. Bushs Career... He Needs Our Support Following controversial comments made by Donald Trump that George W. Bush may have somehow been responsible for September 11, a heated debate has broken outbut its probably not what you think. When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time, Trump claimed in an interview. He was president, OK? After the comments were made, the New York Times reported that the idea that Bush failed to stop the attack is a break from the GOP. According to the Associated Press, George W. Bush was sworn in as president on January 20, 2001. Still, other sources claim that Bush was sworn in as President sometime before September 11. What do you think? Does George Bush hold any responsibility in the September 11 attacks? 
3	WHO Suspends Vaccine After 26 Children Die in the Developing WorldChristina England Quinvaxem, being offered at no cost to recipients by UNICEF, is a pre-qualified vaccine on trial in developing countries. Currently being given to babies as young as eight weeks of age, this pentavalent vaccine is said to protect infants and young children against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hepatitis B, and Hib (haemophilus influenzae type b). According to reports, local authorities have suspended all the controversial batches for testing. However, the Health Ministry said there are no problems with the vaccines quality, distribution, preservation or administration. [3] Although deaths have been reported from Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bhutan and India, the World Health Organization (WHO) has stood by the safety of Quinvaxem, stating that all their studies of the vaccine, made in South Korea, affirm its safety! Once again, here is another example of children dying and many others suffering horrific side effects from a vaccine being tested on vulnerable children in developing countries. Isnt it about time the WHO stopped pretending that they are in the business of protecting children and admitted to the fact they are instead part of a world depopulation program? I urge readers to read a paper written by Dr. Rebecca Carley titled Inoculations: The True Weapons of Mass Destructions Causing VIDS (Vaccine-Induced Diseases) (An Epidemic of Genocide) in which she states: She saw all these atrocities coming before many others and has been desperately trying to warn the public, ever since. Possible Kawasaki Disease It is quite possible that many of these children have suffered an autoimmune response after being vaccinated with this vaccine. I back up this opinion with a variety of articles and papers on Kawasaki disease. Kawasaki disease is an autoimmune disorder that can occur after a vaccination. In fact, scientists who have studied the illness in depth say that evidence strongly suggests that an infectious agent, such as a virus or a vaccine, causes the illness. [5] Children suffering from Kawasaki disease suffer symptoms very similar to those suffered by the children vaccinated with Quinvaxem. I have linked this disorder to the children vaccinated with Quinvaxem because the disease can cause children to suffer from the following: Many children can go on to die of heart failure or heart attack. Kawasaki disease is said to be the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children in the UK and the USA. [6] In a paper written by P.A. Brogan et al. titled Kawasaki disease: an evidence based approach to diagnosis, treatment, and proposals for future research, the authors state: Interestingly, the authors do mention vaccination as a possible trigger: If you read the above statements carefully, you may recognize that the ages of children at highest risk of contracting the disease are the precise age at which they receive the highest number of vaccines. Dr. Michael Innis often refers to the disease in suspected child abuse cases, saying that the marks and bruising seen in cases of Kawasaki disease are often mistaken for child abuse. [7] Three researchers who wrote a paper titled Kawasaki disease in an infant following immunization, published by the National Institutes of Health, stated in their abstract: This paper was written in 2003, so, why isnt the link between vaccination and KD being thoroughly investigated? Another paper titled Kawasaki disease after vaccination: reports to the vaccine adverse event reporting system 1990-2007, stated: Although the authors concluded that their review did not suggest an elevated KD risk for RotaTeq or other vaccines, they suggested the continued post-marketing monitoring for KD was ongoing. All of these papers suggest that continuous multiple vaccinations may possibly heighten the risk of young children developing this disease. I have only offered a selection of many papers for readers to study. One of the most memorable reminders that KD can and does occur after vaccinations was written by Lisa Blakemore-Brown in a response to the Finnish study about the safety of MMR vaccine on the British Medical Journal in 2001. She wrote: I have chosen to include her excellent contribution because it really does have some very strong and firm advice for organizations such as UNICEF who offer vaccinations to vulnerable children like sweets. Like Dr. Carley, Ms. Blakemore-Browns work has also been discredited. You have to wonder why, dont you? Both of them are talented, gifted professionals, sharing similar concerns across opposite sides of the world, along with hundreds of others professionals saying exactly the same statements, many of whom in recent years have become targets of vicious hate campaigns, before having their careers sabotaged. It has become second nature for the likes of WHO and UNICEF to offer free trial and banned vaccinations to the poor and vulnerable populations in the developing world. These are Gods children, too, and they are very precious. They are not lab rats or guinea pigs to be tested at leisure. They are like any other children; they have brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles and grandparents who love them dearly. Their innocent parents believe the propaganda being fed to them by the likes of UNICEF. They believe that these vaccines are safe and will protect their precious babies. Instead, their children are dying the most horrific deaths after being given pre-qualified vaccines. Lisa Blakemore-Brown was right when she said, Blanket refusal to look at the real issues and prevention of individuals exercising choice seems a dangerous policy. Isnt it about time to look at the real issues surrounding vaccination and stop testing innocent and vulnerable communities with pre-qualified vaccines which are unfit for any purpose? 1. http://www.examiner.com/article/at-least-26-infants-five-countries-dead This article originally appeared here at VacTruth.com Christina was born and educated in London, U.K. She left school to work in a childrens library, specializing in story telling and book buying.

2	Tom Sellecks Character Stands Up For The American Flag Tom Selleck has gained a reputation for breaking apart from liberal Hollywood and taking a stand for patriotism. Although he has received some backlash, he stood up once again on an episode of Blue Bloods, his hit CBS television show. The episode was entitled Flags of Our Fathers. Sellecks character Frank Reagan comes in contact with a liberal extremist named Gore. During the show, Gore organizes a protest to burn the American flag at a veterans memorial. Reagan attempts to talk Gore out of his plan, claiming that he will lose all sympathy for his message by disrespecting the country. Although Gore pushes back, Reagan insists that only a fool seeks peace by inciting violence. That flag, that you consider a prop and a stunt, has draped the coffins of Americans who died to give you the right to ignore that sacrifice, Reagan comments. Youre spitting on their graves. Fortunately, Gore is given a large dose of karma in the episode. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this a good message for Obamas race baiters to be hearing? 
2	Muslim Group Viciously Attacks Megyn Kelly, Want Her Fired For What She Said About Muslims Megyn Kelly is no stranger to public criticism, but she rarely steps down from her beliefs. According to recent reports, Kelly is once again facing backlash after covering a segment on honor killings and the treatment of women in Muslim countries on her show The Kelly File. After the segment aired, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) publicly denounced it, and demanded a retraction. Kellys response? Guess what, youre not getting it, the bold host claimed. CAIRs tasked with defending Islam. There is no mistaking that their agenda is not to help victims of Sharia law or the honor killings Kelly covered in her segment. Instead, they want the mainstream media to keep the violence under wrapsand they are the first to speak up when the truth comes out. What do you think? Did Kelly do the right thing covering the segment? Should she have to apologize? 
1	According to a comprehensive 18-month study released Friday, researchers at the University of Florida have determined that standing for the duration of the workday can increase coworkers disdain by as much as 70 percent. By simply switching from a traditional desk to a standing desk, we found that individuals experienced much longer and fuller looks of silent loathing from their colleagues, said lead author Dr. Greg Darren, who confirmed that the more time subjects spent working on their feet, the greater the feelings of annoyance, scorn, and simmering contempt directed at them. Whats most impressive is that the effects are apparent almost immediatelyeven just standing at ones desk for a single afternoon resulted in a 25 percent increase in others feelings of derision. Over time, we found that this behavioral change can even lead to lifelong resentment in colleagues. The study noted that in order to achieve the same level of disdain from standing at a desk, an individual would have to spend a full hour each day explaining his or her intensive workout regimen to colleagues. 
3	Wheat Gluten Newly Confirmed To Promote Weight GainSayer Ji, Contributor Published in Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry this month, and titled Gluten-free diet reduces adiposity, inflammation and insulin resistance associated with the induction of PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma expression, researchers compared the effects of a gluten-based diet to a gluten-free diet in mice. Gluten exclusion (protein complex present in many cereals) has been proposed as an option for the prevention of diseases other than coeliac disease. However, the effects of gluten-free diets on obesity and its mechanisms of action have not been studied. Thus, our objective was to assess whether gluten exclusion can prevent adipose tissue expansion and its consequences. Mice were fed either a high-fat diet containing 4.5% gluten (Control) or no gluten (GF). The researchers then assessed the following 16 parameters in both groups: Remarkably, they found that, relative to the gluten-fed mice, the gluten-free animals showed a reduction in body weight gain and adiposity, without changes in food intake or lipid excretion. We interpret this to mean that the weight gain associated with wheat consumption has little to do with caloric content per se; rather, the gluten proteins (and likely wheat lectins) disrupt endocrine and exocrine processes within the body, as well as directly modulating nuclear gene expression, e.g. PPAR- and , in such a way as to alter mammalian metabolism in the direction of weight gain. Sometimes we forget that food is not simply a source of energy, or the material building blocks for the body, but a source of information as well. The way in which food directly interacts with the genes, gene expression, or gene product structure and function, is the object of study of the burgeoning new field of nutrigenomics. Wheat, like anything we attempt to use as food, contains both energy/matter and information that the body will use to maintain its genetic integrity or that may interfere with it. The researchers stated that the observed results were associated with up-regulation of PPAR-, LPL, HSL and CPT-1, which are related to lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation. Also, there was an improvement in glucose homeostasis and pro-inflammatory profile-related overexpression of PPAR- among the gluten-free animals. The researchers concluded: Our data support the beneficial effects of gluten-free diets in reducing adiposity gain, inflammation and insulin resistance. The data suggests that diet gluten exclusion should be tested as a new dietary approach to prevent the development of obesity and metabolic disorders. Discussion Considering our previous investigation of the weight-promoting effects of wheat in cattle, discussed in our essay The Dark Side of Wheat, we are not at all surprised by these most recent research findings. Wheat grain-fed cattle, while much sicker, are always heavier. Grass-fed, on the other hand, are healthier and yet weighs less. Certainly, therefore, the notion that feeding wheat to mammals may increase their weight is not novel. The time has come for us to recognize that the consumption of grains, that is, the seed form of the cereal grasses, is a evolutionarily novel behavior. While we have been doing so for 10,000-20,000 years, this is only a nanosecond on the scale of biological time. Albeit, culturally, it may seems like forever. Weight gain, of course, is only one of over 200 adverse health effects associated with wheat consumption. Whereas weight gain often speaks to our vanity, the reality is that cardiovascular health, psychiatric problems, autism, irritable bowel, and many other common health complaints can be tracked back directly to this king of grains. The time has come, we believe, to give wheat and gluten elimination a good try. After all, only your first-hand experience can determine with any certainty whether these concepts are just theory or truth for you. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	In a custom that is said to be as old as the digital marketing agency itself, staff members of Thorpe Media listened in rapt fixation Wednesday to an oration of the epic saga of Doug Plasky, a company account manager whose tales of legendary ineptitude have been handed down through generations of coworkers. Speaking one by one within the hallowed meeting grounds of Hannys Bar and Grill, company elders recited the sprawling, storied lore of Plaskys incompetence, regaling the firms newest hires well past the setting of the spring sun and the end of happy hour specials. Gather round, fellow coworkers, and hear the legend of the one who is known oer the entire fifth floor as the most incapable man ever to grace the client services department, said product manager Brad Idstein, playing the bard whilst basked in the dim glow of the sports bars lighting. You have doubtless heard before of the one named Doug, but here now is the full narrative of his woefully botched market analytics, missed conference calls, and spectacularly flawed PowerPoint presentations. Hark, dear friends, for this is not the story of any mere mortal employee, but one who meets nary a single proposal delivery deadline, continued Idstein, yet still earns more than $85,000 a year. According to learned orators of the Plasky epic, the halls of Thorpe Media have long echoed with recitations of the account managers famed misdeeds, with each of the sagas storied chapters ritually passed from marketing analyst to marketing analyst and digital ad rep to digital ad rep within the hushed privacy of conference rooms and in countless e-mail chains. Indeed, it is said that recounting the sprawling corpus of Plaskys monumental blundersfrom his fabled illiteracy of the companys content management software, to his inability to assemble even the most basic invoice, to an infamously butchered presentation at a conference in Tucson in 2007has sustained Thorpe employees through the bleakness of many a dark winter evening and over countless prolonged business trips. And lo! There was one occasion when Doug all but ruined the Thorndale account with a cost miscalculation so vile that it shant even be spoken. And yet he so transparently placed the blame on [coworker] Rebecca [Friedman] that we all believed for certain the clod had seen his final days at the company, project director Susan DeBroeck said with fiery emotion, channeling ages of frustration toward her feebleminded colleague. But there he was, sitting in his corner cubicle the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that, as if protected by some divine hand of fate. Then he badly missed his quarterly revenue target, but he was not fired. And then he neglected an entire copywriting assignment, but he was not fired. And then he was late for three straight weeks, and lo and behold, continued DeBroeck, he was not fired. While a full written account of the mythic procrastinators behavior is not known to exist, most employees are said to recount large portions of the Plasky narrative entirely from memory during personal lunch meetings, at workplace social events, and freely throughout the office nearly every workday after 4:15 p.m., which is said to be the hour that Plasky typically steals away to return homeward. These stories tell of grotesque excuses and tangles of lies so convoluted they chill to the very bone, said newly hired sales assistant Danny Clifton, still in a state of visible shock after hearing the epic saga. It is said that this monstrous, blundering oaf can conjure the most virtuosic of excuses from the very thinnest of air to avoid writing a campaign outline for a client, even dreaming up computer issues or concocting one of his infamous migraine head ailments whenever he so desires. O, the hours they say it takes to fix his work each week. What horror! In accordance with the sacred custom, generations of employees have added new and storied chapters to the saga of Plaskys ineptitude over the years, with the epic growing longer and longer from sunrise to sunrise, season to season, and carelessly written sales contract to carelessly written sales contract. If there is but one lesson to draw from this story, my coworkers, it is that Plasky will receive new accounts so long as he takes living breaths, digital marketing analyst Robert Meyers said. No matter the severity of his latest missing assignment or wildly inaccurate market projections, the wisdom of ages speaks this one truth: Employees of Thorpe shall come and employees of Thorpe shall go, but Doug will remain on the payroll forevermore. God, I cant believe nobodys had the balls to just fucking fire him already, Meyers added. 
3	CIA Calls Israel Main US Regional Spy ThreatStephen Lendman, Contributor He told his superiors. It happened to Washingtons previous station chief. It wasnt coincidental. It showed that allies spy on each other. Israeli intelligence spies on its US counterparts. A CIA official in Israel discovered the food in (his) refrigerator had been rearranged. Washington blames Israels security services for these incidents. It shows whats well known but ignored publicly. Netanyahu spokesman Mark Regev claims Israel does not spy on the United States of America. He lied. Israel spies every day in every way it thinks it can get away with. Before 9/11, the FBI uncovered a massive US-based spy ring. Israel ran it, and it remains active. In the process, it betrays America. Numerous Israeli citizens are involved. They have close ties to foreign military, criminal and intelligence sources. They reportedly breached US law enforcement wiretaps earlier. In 2011, former CIA counterintelligence specialist/military intelligence officer Philip Giraldiaccused Israel of stealing everything it gets its hands on. It includes military and industrial secrets. Its called Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial Espionage. In 2005, it said: Proprietary commercial and industrial information is also stolen. Israel recruits spies. They use electronic methods. They hack into computers for information. Washingtons Government Accountability Office (GAO) said Israel conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the United States of any US ally. The Pentagon accused Israel of actively engag(ing) in military and industrial espionage in the United States. An Israeli citizen working in the US who has access to proprietary information is likely to be a target of such espionage. FBI whistleblower John Cole said Justice Department officials ordered dozens of Israeli espionage cases dropped. At issue was political pressure. Washington gives Israel billions of dollars annually in aid, the latest weapons and technology, and numerous other special privileges. In return, it steals US state and civilian secrets. Despite close US/Israeli ties, US national security officials consider Israel to be, at times, a frustrating ally and a genuine counterintelligence threat. AP stopped short of explaining how Israel menaces regional and global nations. Its nuclear armed and dangerous. It has stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. In his 1991 book, The Samson Option: Israels Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy,Seymour Hersh explained its strategy to launch a massive nuclear counterattack if survival is threatened. Other analysts say the same thing. AP focused on compromised intelligence. It said Israel was also implicated in U.S. criminal espionage cases and disciplinary proceedings against CIA officers and blamed in the presumed death of an important spy in Syria for the CIA during the administration of President George W. Bush. The CIA considers Israel its No. 1 counterintelligence threat in the agencys Near East Division. It oversees regional spying. It protects national secrets from spies. It believes other regional states pose less of an intelligence threat than Israel. It uses highly sophisticated professional services. In terms of technical capability and human resources, it rivals Americas best. It has access to the highest US political, military, and intelligence sources. Despite close ties, disagreements exist. Former CIA officer Joseph Wippl called it a complicated relationship. They have their interests. We have our(s). For the US, its a balancing act. Other countries closely watch how Washington characterizes its relationship with Israel. Ahead of November elections, expect nary a discouraging word to be heard openly. Mitt Romney hyperbole claims otherwise. He criticized Obamas shabby treatment. Appealing to Jewish voters, he said Israelis deserve better. On July 30, Haaretz called his Jerusalem speech his voice but Netanyahus words. A select, extremely friendly, audience was underwhelmed. One observer said this happens when a weak American leader is forced to make unnecessarily controversial remarks in order to project a sense of strength he or she doesnt naturally exude. His weakness masquerades as strength. Obamas essentially the same, but he delivers his lines better. Both men, their handlers, and hangers on infuriate Palestinians and others by spurning them. Earlier this year, Obama said Washington and Israel never had closer military and intelligence cooperation. Israeli Washington spokesman Lior Weintraub affirmed his countrys close ties to America. He called APs report false, saying: CIA officials declined comment. Tensions remain strained. The National Security Agency (NSA) keeps close tabs on Israel. Reagans trust but verify comment applies. Washingtons mindful of Israels belligerence. It doesnt want to be caught napping if it attacks a neighbor without its knowledge. Matthew Aid wrote The Secret Sentry: The Untold History of the National Security Agency.He said America began spying on Israel before 1948. Hebrew linguists now monitor intercepted communications. Israel isnt Washingtons most trusted ally. Select others have that distinction. They include Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand. They share intelligence and agree not to spy on each other. Israel has second-tier status. Its called Friends on Friends, it comes from the phrase Friends dont spy on Friends. The arrangement dates back decades. Israels Mossad and Shin Bet are suspected of recruiting US officials and trying to steal American secrets. Earlier, two female CIA officers were fired for having unreported Israeli contacts. One admitted a relationship with an Israeli Foreign Ministry official. Jonathan Pollards case is well known. In 1987, he was convicted of spying for Israel. He got life in prison. Israel wants him released. Netanyahu applies pressure. Disingenuously he called Israels action wrong and wholly unacceptable. CIA officials wonder how many more Pollards now spy today. Theyre wary. Former US Naval Criminal Investigative Service official Ronald Olive said a task force was formed to learn what Pollard took. Israel was uncooperative. Little was revealed. It represented a speck in the sand. In 2008, former Army mechanical engineer Ben-Ami Kadish pled guilty to giving Israel classified information in the 1980s. In 2006, a former Defense Department analyst got 12 years in prison for supplying Israel and two pro-Israeli lobbyists with state secrets. The CIA ranks world intelligence agencies on their willingness to help Americas war on terror. Earlier, Israel fell below Libya. With friends like these, who needs enemies. Israel gets virtually anything it wants from Washington. At times in return its cooperative. Other times it offers little. Sometime friends arent reliable. Those in need are friends indeed. Obama claims an unshakable commitment to Israel. Its not reciprocated in kind. CIA officials still bristle over the disappearance of a Syrian scientist who during the Bush administration was the CIAs only spy inside Syrias military program to develop chemical and biological weapons. He gave the agency extraordinary information about pathogens used in the program. Former US officials confirmed it. Although the agency never formally concluded that Israel was responsible, CIA officials complained about Israelis leaking information to pressure Syria to abandon the program. Its officials learned who had access to the sensitive information and eventually identified the scientist as a traitor. Before he disappeared and was presumed killed, he told his CIA contact that Syrian Military Intelligence fingered him. On July 29, Mossad-connected DEBKAfile (DF) headlined An ill wind blows between US and Israeli intelligence over attack on Iran, saying that tensions between two allies heightened over AP saying the CIA considers Israel its main regional counterintelligence threat. DF claims leaked information AP reported came ahead of Romneys Israeli visit. At issue was deterring him from using it to review Jonathan Pollards life sentence if elected. At the CIAs behest, all previous presidents refused. DF also said it relates to CIA agents looking for any information relating to Israel potentially attacking Irans nuclear facilities unilaterally. DFs Washington sources say watch out for October. Its mentioned as a possible strike month. Obama officials allegedly want Israel restrained but arent sure they can do it. On July 14, US National Security Advisor Tom Donilon visited Israel. He learned that Netanyahu is close to decision day on Iran. He hasnt yet picked a date. Whether its so or bluster isnt known. Israeli saber rattling is notorious. So is Americas. Anything made public raises suspicions. Aggressors dont warn targets about imminent attacks and name likely dates. On August 1, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta heads to Israel. He wont learn more than other administration officials before him. Netanyahu is tight-lipped. DFs Western intelligence sources say the CIA maintains an extensive network of operatives in Israel. As a result, tensions between the two allies remain strained. Will Israel unilaterally attack Iran? Dont bet on it. Its history suggests otherwise. Going to war needs US approval. Circumventing its paymaster partner risks trouble. One day what joined both nations together could turn the relationship asunder. Harming Washingtons regional interests could trigger it. Israel may be aggressive, but its not stupid. On issues as important as war, both nations are partnered on which way theyll go.

2	Trump and Rubio To Be Disqualified For THESE Extreme Muslim Comments Trump and Rubio have announced that they want to close down certain mosques, or at least scrutinize them more closely for the safety of Americans. Especially with everything on going with ISIS, we need to be extra careful, and if that means monitoring Muslim Refugees and Mosques, so be it. We need to find a balance between ensuring the safety of Americas and giving the Muslims the freedom that is rightfully theirs. Republican Presidential candidate Rand Paul is demanding that Trump and Rubio be removed from the election due to their extreme stance on mosques. Do you think that we should place scrutiny on the Muslim refugees in our country? 
2	Marco Rubio And Ted Cruz Ban Together To Relieve Kerry Of His Power In his last few weeks of presidency Barack Obama has angered a lot of people with his anti-Israel agenda. The U.N. Secretary of State John Kerry made matters worse by claiming that Israel can either be Jewish or it can be Democratic, but it cant be both. Now, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are both are both standing up against his actions. Secretary Kerry today once again decided to cater to the demands of freedoms enemies and devote an entire speech to disparaging a country that is one of our closest allies, Rubio commented. This administrations shameful undermining of our moral standing in the world should be a warning to administrations for decades to come about the consequences of American abandoning our values. Rubio continued to outline how things will be different in Trumps administration. I will also work to ensure that if the United Nations wants to continue to promote anti-Semitism and anti-Israel views, it will do so without U.S. taxpayer funding, he added. Ted Cruz also spoke out against Obamas actions. All Americans who understand the value of the U.S.-Israel alliance must immediately and unequivocally reject their false and dangerous narrative, and reassert our fundamental commitment to Israels security, said Cruz. Thankfully, Congress and the incoming administration can and I hope will take decisive action to intercept the administrations final and desperate Hail Mary, and that should begin with eliminating U.S. funding to the U.N., unless and until this disgraceful resolution is reversed, he concluded. 
1	Realizing that the short, rehearsed speech had not been revised to reflect recent changes in his life, 29-year-old marketing associate Alex Hansen confirmed Wednesday that he had updated the little monologue he delivers every time a member of his extended family asks how hes doing. Ill still start by saying work has been going well and that Im still in Boston, but Im tweaking that part about where I live to convey that I have my own apartment now, Hansen said of the brief but carefully crafted oration he recites almost reflexively when encountering second cousins at family gatherings or receiving the occasional phone call from a grandparent. The part where I say Ive been playing on an intramural soccer team once a week doesnt really seem to land, so Ive swapped that out with a few seconds on how Im thinking about running a marathon. And now Im closing with how I might go to law schoolthat seems like a pretty strong finish. Hansen added that it will be easier to simply preserve the portion of the monologue about his girlfriend doing great despite the fact that she broke up with him three months ago. 
3	Good Cops Turn In Their Own Officer After Hes Caught on Dashcam Beating Handcuffed ManBy Justin Gardner Officer Christopher Eisen was put behind bars after being arrested on a felony battery charge. He is now on unpaid leave while the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) investigates the matter. You threaten my (expletive) family. Ill (expletive) kill you, Eisen can be heard saying on the dashcam video. Immediately after, he is heard punching the handcuffed suspect, who was bruised and bloodied by the assault. Eisen had picked up the homeless man for some kind of disturbance, according to the local WFTV9 station. You threaten my (expletive) family again. Do it again. Get in the (expletive) car, Eisen said again before transporting the victim to the hospital. The suspect can be heard taunting the officer, saying, Your familys dead. Come on (expletive) boy. Hit me some more, (expletive) boy. He can also be heard spitting at Eisen. However, this behavior is no justification for Eisen to become enraged and beat the man in handcuffs. Clearly, it calls into question Eisens mental stability and his fitness for carrying a badge and a gun. My face is bloody. My face is bruised, the suspect said on the dashcam audio. He just pulled me out of the car and beat the (expletive) out of me while I was in cuffs. Eisen has a history of write-ups, having been investigated three times by FDLE for breaking police rules. WFTV9 reports that the unbalanced officer was reprimanded for shoving a neighbors child while off duty. In 2005, Eisen let a drunk driver go from the scene of a crash, and in a separate incident had a complaint filed by a couple who said Eisen was rude and belligerent during a traffic stop. Perhaps this latest case of excessive force was the final straw for the Melbourne police department, as they took the initiative of turning Eisen in to the FDLE and putting him on unpaid leave. More police departments need to be proactive about getting loose cannons like Eisen off of the police force, as they are the ones likely to escalate an ordinary situation into one where innocent people get hurt or killed. While this handcuffed mans actions may have been questionable, there are plenty of incidents during which cops stood by and watched their fellow cops beat non-violent, and even innocent individuals without saying anything.Good cops turning in the bad ones is a huge part of the solution to bridging the divide in America, and the officers who were unafraid of crossing the blue line deserve to be recognized. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. This must be a turning point. Police Officers must not be complacent in their duty to weed out the bad cops.. This piece of crap dude in hand cuffs, may be saying some terrible crap.but.. Hes in hand cuffs. his well being is that cops responsibility .. regardless of what vomit is coming out of his mouth, the cop has no right to beat him after being subdued and put in restraints Good job for those that are weeding out the garden. Establish trust again. This story sounds like BS to me. Its kind of a baited story? Smells fishy No one else is allowed to assault someone over mere words. Dont know why cops all think that the law is for everyone else. The rule of law only applies to the peasants. Proactive about getting lousy cops off the force?? Oh, you mean like, fifth-times-the-charm kind of proactive? This guy sounds like he should never have gotten on the force to begin with. This is exactly what good cops should be doing all over the world, turning on and turning in those that tarnish not only the badge, but the reputation of all police offices, Bravo perhaps this will be the starting point for all the good cops to restore the image they have lost around the world do to a small percentage of bad cops not being delt with by their own. will miracles never cease.. FINALLY and its about fricking time! Rather than beat the bound suspect, the officer should have pressed charges of him threatening to murder members of his family. Police need to police their own, or people may begin shooting at all uniforms. The job of a police officer is to bring offenders in for due process and at the risk of their own lives not execute judgement and sentence. Because offenders implies judgment, lets call them suspects. Innocent until proven guilty? Innocent until judged by a copy, and then execution carried out by the cop. A group called Committee for Ethical Law Enforcement was formed 12 years ago in Colorado, and in the first 3 years, took live video recordings of multiple victims of police brutality resulting in severe harm and death. In the instances of death, the video footage covered interviews of Emergency Room workers who literally testified that prisoners, the victims of custodial beatings by multiple officers, would be brought into the ER, and it was crystal clear that the prisoners were wearing handcuffs during the beatings and had been repeatedly kicked in the head, rendering the prisoner totally unrecognizable. Video testimony was taken of anonymous cops who planned to resign from Colorado law enforcement because they could no longer stomach the horrific beatings Colorado cops seemed to enjoy inflicting on those in handcuffs. In one community in Colorado, the local cops beat to death 3 young men (all White) in one year. Locals would be openly taunted and terrorized by local cops with threats of what would happen to them in the jail rooms where there were no cameras. Cruel sadists are being employed in numbers where they outnumber the so-called good cops. There is no excuse for this despicable policing. I personally saw one young man (White) whose head had been split open by an officer repeatedly striking him with the butt of a gun until the hole was 8 inches long and 2 inches deep. The beating was the cops revenge because the young man was walking his dog off leash. The young man lost most of his intellectual ability as a result. He lived, but would never work or read or participate meaningfully in life. And you did what ? Sorry, I dont understand your question. By exposing police corruption and brutality, the group engineered the removal of various police chiefs, jail wardens and local sheriffs (as well as a few bad prosecutors). Due to the fact that the FBI in Denver, CO has been corrupt and intentionally dishonest for 20 years, evidence brought to the FBI was ignored to great harm and detriment, and in some cases, given to the very law enforcement groups engaged in the violence so they could turn on the whistleblowers. Hopefully, this answers your question. Thankyou! Your efforts valiant and properly intended do need to address all parties within their lawful standing. Bona fide hireling public servants are servants not masters. The people need not petition oath sworn servants, they must hold them to the oath. This is simply the the exception that proves the ruleits SO UNUSUAL that 
3	The Tyranny of ConvenienceSigmund Fraud Just like an addict, the modern convenience seeker is rarely aware of the damage that the need to feed the need is causing. The pursuit of convenience is big business and over the last 60-75 years we have experienced a profound cultural shift towards disposable consumerism. Weve been sold the idea that life must be easy, and that the mundane things in life are to be rushed or delegated so that more time is available for enjoying ourselves. For several generations now our culture has been programmed to place an overly high value on convenience, and the flip side of this is that we have grown to loathe inconvenience to such a degree that we now perceive even slight delays in the delivery of convenience as inconveniences. Who has time for anything to go wrong in our world today? Our addiction to this complex lifestyle, requiring ever-compounded convenience, is one of the subtlest and most addictive tyrannies of the modern age. Those who would trade freedom for convenience, deserve neither freedom, nor security, and will end up with inconvenience. Sigmund Fraud It is in the routinely carried out behaviors of our daily lives, in our rigid habits, in the patterns bubbling just under the surface of our psyches, that we give up our freedom. This is where we are most taken advantage of and most held captive. This is where our true identity is hijacked and where we are programmed to live in pursuit of phony consumeristic ideals such as convenience. Are we just robots running programs? Are we merely slaves programmed to perform certain duties in exchange for a comfortable system of punishment and reward? In interesting times as these, with such complex and dangerous problems facing all of us, and when the bulk of society seems content to live behind the iron curtain of cognitive dissonance, freeing ourselves from the habits and cultural conventions that keep us enslaved is imperative. The freedom to purchase a service and do business with someone without having to automatically also comply with physical molestation by a third party is a simple, obvious right that we are trading away for the convenience of flying. Yet so many people consent to being groped and to watching their children being groped by strangers in TSA uniforms just to travel recreationally. We also wish to avoid the inconvenience of being hassled, sequestered, detained, interrogated, fined, arrested, tazed, or shot by an increasingly authoritarian government. Yet, no one is forcing us to fly under these conditions, and the fact that so many people show up without protest is a broad public statement of consent to being molested. A mandate, if you will. In many ways, convenience is a more insidious and practical tool for tyranny than the barrel of a gun. Our modern banking system is perhaps the most dastardly and subtle form of tyranny know to man, as it is so large in scope that it affects almost everyone on the planet. Even a rudimentary understanding of central banking reveals how it capitalizes on our desire for convenience in order to ensnare the planet in a web of debt. They conveniently print up as much money as the world needs and we consent to owing exponentially increasing, mathematically un-payable sums of money to a private corporation for the rest of eternity. It is convenient now, but rather costly in the long run. We do this not out of fear for our lives, but for want of convenience and for fear of inconvenience. We have been programmed to ignore our own best interests in order to remain un-hassled by our complex lives. It turns out that the problem is not that they are selling us tyranny, but that we have already bought into what they sold us. We are too far hooked on the promising idea of convenience to turn back now. We are slaves to our own habits and desires. We are tyrannized by convenience.

3	Brzezinski Calls For Retaliation Against Russia For Fighting ISISBy Brandon Turbeville Brzezinski argues that the recent Russian involvement in Syria puts American credibility and global reputation at stake and suggests that such a situation is intolerable. Brzezinski wrote that Russian attacks against what he and the U.S. State Department have labeled as the non-ISIS targets and rebels backed by the United States at best reflects Russian military incompetence and at worst signals evidence of a dangerous desire to highlight American political impotence. In these rapidly unfolding circumstances the U.S. has only one real option if it is to protect its wider stakes in the region: to convey to Moscow the demand that it cease and desist from military actions that directly affect American assets, he wrote. But, better still, Russia might be persuaded to act with the U.S. in seeking a wider accommodation to a regional problem that transcends the interests of a single state, he added later. Brzezinski hinted that Russia was engaged in a new form of neocolonial domination and offered up his assessment of the geopolitical situation when he stated China would doubtless prefer to stay on the sidelines. It might calculate that it will then be in a better position to pick up the pieces. But the regional chaos could easily spread northeastward, eventually engulfing central and northeastern Asia. Both Russia and then China could be adversely affected. But American interests and Americas friends not to mention regional stability would also suffer. It is time, therefore, for strategic boldness. It is, indeed, a strange kind of neocolonial domination that sees the dominated country invite the dominator in for support with the dominator incredibly resistant to doing so for years. It is also incredibly hypocritical to suggest that Russia is the state actor representing a neocolonial domination when the United States has marched its blood-drenched boots all across the globe for decades, slaughtering, draining, and oppressing the hapless civilians that have been unfortunate enough to have been born in a country with natural wealth or strategic positioning. Of course, the idea that U.S. credibility is on the line as a result of the Russian involvement is without question. Unfortunately for the United States, however, that ship has already sailed a long time ago and what little shred of American credibility that was left is being eaten up by every sortie flown against ISIS by the Russian military. Indeed, it is quite amazing what one can accomplish when one bombs the actual terrorist organization it claims is the enemy. The Russians have clearly demonstrated that either the United States military is not capable of fighting itself out of a wet paper bag, or the U.S. government never wanted to fight ISIS to begin with. Considering the trail of destruction the United States has left behind in its wake, it is safe to say that the latter is the logical conclusion.

These people are clearly in fixed realities and psychopathic in nature. Exactly. So we have Brzezinski and Rockefeller being the founders of the Trilateral Commission and their politico henchman and early T.C. member Kissinger strong arming the Nixon administration as the National Security Adviser to continue TPTBs program of transferring advanced military technology to the Soviets. Build up the nemesis using Kissingers absurd rationalizations. Fast forward to the current conflict and it a year and a half ago it was reported the US and Israel had been quietly selling high tech military parts to Iran, despite the sanctions, which in turn was being funneled to Syria. The international banksters were making sure both sides were well armed to prolong the conflict while they worked on Operation Cyclone 2.0 with international intelligence collaboration. There is no way Russia did not know this was happening. Brzezinski is aiming for his Technotronic global prison planet paradigm a wider accommodation to a regional problem that transcends the interests of a single state . Thats bankster-speak for Technocratic global governance via the Hegelian DIALECTIC. In the 1970s Brzezinski has Kissinger commandeer a transfer of advanced military technology to the Soviet Union and now he wants to spank them? LOL Our boy Brzezinski talks about Russian forces being isolated and far from home. I guess he thinks Syria is right between Canada and the US? Its hard to believe this evil SOB was ever allowed to influence anything. Hopefully hes on his last breaths. This twisted p.o.s.looks more like an alien than anybody else Ive ever seen (lol)he should also be apprehended with butterfly nets summarily fitted into a straight jacket for his frothing-at-the-mouth rabies endangering the public with his pronouncements of sheer mind drool insanitynobody I know cares what this reptile thinks as his psychopathic War Hawk edicts run parallel with Vietnam Rat Insane McCain.maybe round up these nut barsput them all on an island (Komodo) give them all solar powered Tazers.(idiots) He looks like the evil emperor Palpatine from Star Wars. This douchebag makes David Ickes theory on Reptilian Shape Shifters believable. Hahahahahaha, right on! To be so bad that man must have some jewish origine. One of the biggest problems wrong with America today is Zbigniew Brzsezinski and his Close Association with the Tri-Lateral Commission, which he helped create, and The Council on Foreign Relations. He came up during the Carter years and has never disappeared. His influence with the likes of the Elites is overwhelming and although an American he is anything but on the side of the U.S.A. He is a Loathsome Creature at best and just as Evil as George Soros. This Man should never ever be Trusted or Believed. USA needs to retaliate against criminal psychopath Brzezinski.JIm Stone today interestinf comments: Congress is now supposedly probing American intelligence agencies for not keeping a close enough eye on Russia. And all I can say is this: Dear Jewish community (and other pathetic parasites in the U.S. government:) You had the worlds best spy apparatus, one that could have easily penetrated Russia totally and wiped them out. And what did you do with it? You instead penetrated America and wiped the American people out. You penetrated America and used all intelligence gathered to infiltrate every American company you possibly could, strip it down, and send it overseas. You used it to penetrate the American psyche, and from the intelligence gathered, knew precisely where the line was between irritation and rebellion as you ram rodded the gay agenda and many other atrocities down the throats of the American people, and used it to know exactly how to destroy Americas religious roots and strip the family down to zero. You penetrated American intelligence to keep your drug businesses running smoothly, perfectly evading law enforcement all around the world. In short, you used Americas spy apparatus to help you gain the most filthy of profits, all the while you ignored the giant bear in the closet. And now, if you get your butts kicked by Russia, I will sit and savor the moment like a cherry cheese cake, stripping it away one half of a gram at a time just to sit and savor it that much longer. You suck, you are brainless, and your abuse and misappropriation of power PROVES IT. The bankster Zionist elites and their collaborators in the west AND in Russia have had their chains on Russia since at least the days of the Bolshevik revolution, on through to the Soviet era, and in a deep state crony capitalism capture when the Russian economy was deliberately imploded in the mid-90s after which top International Bankster Trilateralist Goldman Exec World Bank Economist and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers was sent to Russia to advise on the privatization of the Russian citizens publicly owned assets thus creating the rise of eight powerful billionaire oligarchs (7 out 8 ethnic Jews) with internationalist sympathies. Solzhenitsyn of Gulag Archipelago fame wrote a book about this powerful influence on Russian politics. Please note a distinction between peaceful Jews and the rapacious Zionist philosophy held by Jews and non-Jews. Very interesting post, what do you think of Putin? TPTB have been openly doing the privatization program in the US out in the open for over a decade. If I recall correctly, it was Matt Taibbi who wrote an article on this subject about 12 years ago for Rolling Stone, titled The Highway Men (or close). It was a limited hangout to some extent, but enough of a glimpse into the sell off of public assets to multinational corporations and cronies for pennies on the dollar, a well organized top-down program that involves state governors. Tip of the iceberg for Technocracy. If youre really curious, watch Richard Groves interview of Patrick Wood. Its in three parts. long but well worth it. The bottom line is the apex globalists are working towards capturing control over the earths resources, included human resources (their cattle serfs) to the point of not allowing individual property ownership in a tight 1984-esque caste system. Cabals may squabblebut when the edict comes from the pyramid capthey all fall in lineI dont think Putin acted unilaterally on his lonesomehe got the go-ahead from the 0.001% shadow masters that pull the strings.(imo) Exactly. No doubt about it. Jim Stone = the real deal Luv this woman! she has more temerity honesty in her baby finger than that bench full of establishment slobbering obsequious sycophants that she described so well Good. We call for Brzezinskis Resignation. Hes not a government employee, hes an adviser working in the shadows. Hes the master of elaborate geopolitical intrigue and theater, the dialectic creating nation state puppets to clash against each other to form a new synthesis of tyranny. nothing more than overthrowing the syrian government and russia got in their way, now they cant explain their true motives without embarrassment Doesnt this happy looking soul feel that the death of isis is a good idea? Pride before a fall the war mongering lunatic. Ive tracked these 0.001%er sobs for awhile now my research leads me to the Old Black Nobility of the 13 families royal [sic] bloodlinesas these families go back milllennialike the (Iranian) Farnasi -(Rome)Pecos-Orsini et althese are basically Satanic /Kabala Hebrew occultists into sacrificing human babies to Baal after ritualistic blood drinking.thats why you see such rampant pedophilia in the old establishment hierarchies of the UK (as example).this is what were up againstunlimited $$$ financing whatever they want ..as its all Monopoly $$$ /Babylonian $$$ Majik since Constantine that has slipped their nooses round our collective necks.as these twisted Mo Fos are a Kakistocratic Ponerology of a parasitic archons that need to have theirinbedded roots pulled out once for all -imo Well said and I completely agree. Sadly, money (materialism) is the most powerful organizing principle in our society and morality is increasingly meaningless. Entertainment being the narcotic. Makes it all the more challenging to convince others to push back. Pleasure talking to someone in the deep end for a change (lol)cheers American credibility and global reputation at stake LOL. Russia has its motives for keeping Assad in power, but ISIS is a common enemy so we need their cooperation to take them out. Roll on the advent of impartial artificial intelligence, now mankinds Zbi. Brezinski the most evil human ever since Lenin, and Mao. The inventor of Muslim terrorism is now wants the US to start a nuclear war against Russia? Even the devil himself could not be as nasty as this mother effer. 
3	Cyro: the creepy autonomous robot jellyfish that could eventually patrol the oceans of the worldMadison Ruppert Other research includes insect-like drones capable of carrying out lethal missions, a silent drone inspired by owls, bird-like drones already used in the field, an amazingly fast robot modeled after a cheetah, a strange animal-like walking drone and more lifelike humanoid robots that can approach animal and human efficiency. The prototype robotic jellyfish, dubbed Cyro, is 5 foot 7 inches, weighs in at 170 pounds and was created under a project funded by a $5 million grant. The grant was funded by the same agency behind the insanely fast, GPS-guided projectile program, so while it may sound great that it could be used to keep tabs on ecologically-sensitive underwater areas or to help clean up oil spills, the reality is that the military applications will obviously be given priority. Virginia Tech: Autonomous Robotic Jellyfish from virginiatech on Vimeo. Imagine a fully-realized version of such a robot running underwater surveillance missions for the U.S. Navy the marine version of a weaponless drone, in other words, perhaps poking around someones oceanfront property (or, heaven forbid, employed in a civilian capacity by ignoble paparazzi to stalk celebrities), writes Matt Peckham for Time. Cool, but a little creepy, right? We intend to leave it in the ocean for as long as we can. So were talking weeks and months, and even more if we can, said Alex Villanueva, a graduate student at Virginia Tech working on the project. This jellyfish-like design would also have a massive advantage in terms of stealth, according to Danger Room. Mimicking a natural animal found in a region allows you to explore a lot better, Villanueva said. Yet the most noteworthy of all is that it is what Danger Room calls a launch-and-forget robot in that Cyro is not remote controlled but instead runs totally autonomously. While Danger Room reports, Theres no saying whether the Navy will purchase the bot, and its inventors are comfortable emphasizing its civilian potential as an oceanographic research testbed, Geek.com reports that the researchers were awarded a 5-year grant.

You can't honestly tell me that everyone on there is looking for jobs,' said Nesbitt, 27, adding that there were far too many people connected through the site for nothing seedy to be going on. 'I see there's a 'recommendation' button. Is that the way down the rabbit hole? Or maybe it's some kind of exclusive thing where I need to get an introduction from someone who's already in on the action? That must be it.'

The impending crisis comes after nearly 200 water protectors set up the new camp on land that Energy Transfer Partners last month purchased from a local rancher in an effort to bolster strategic and tactical control of areas surrounding construction of the controversial pipeline. According to the AP, however, the Native Americans claim the land is theirs by way of an 1851 treaty and they wont leave until the pipeline is stopped. We never ceded this land, said protester Joye Braun. This latest flashpoint in the ongoing conflict is north of the larger and more permanent encampments, which have been constructed on federally owned land where over 200 Native American tribes have gathered to oppose the pipelines construction. On Wednesday, a heavily militarized law enforcement presence began mobilizing heavy equipment, including Humvees, armored personnel carriers, and buses and demanded the protesters leave the occupied area. In an ominous sign, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has restricted flights, and banned the use of drones within a radius of about 4 miles of Cannon Ball. The FAA declared that only aircraft affiliated with the North Dakota Tactical Operation Center are allowed within the restricted airspace. The flight restriction went into effect Wednesday and will last until November 5. Indian Country Today reports: What began with prayers and a single tipi alongside Highway 1806 quickly grew to more than a dozen tipis surrounded by tents, buses, cars and hundreds of water protectors. Some are calling it the 1851 Treaty Camp to acknowledge their Treaty rights. Across the road is the encroaching pipeline and a heavily militarized police force with armored vehicles, helicopters, planes, ATVs and busloads of officers. Tensions are growing as unarmed citizens worry that police will use unnecessarily harsh tactics. In recent weeks, nearly 300 unarmed water protectors who were arrested have been subjected to pepper spray, strip-searches, delayed bail, exaggerated charges and physical violence, according to interviews with several who were taken into custody. The ACLU and National Lawyers Guild recently sent attorneys to Standing Rock to help the Red Owl Collective, a team of volunteer lawyers headed by attorney Bruce Ellison, who are representing many of those arrested. The massive law enforcement contingent, consisting of sheriffs deputies and officers from numerous other states and counties, as well as National Guard, began staging near the encampment with scores of Armored Personnel Carriers, buses and Humvees poised at the ready. At some point the rule of law has to be enforced, Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney said Wednesday. We could go down there at any time. Were trying not to. Dakota Access LLC, the pipeline developer released a statement encouraging trespassers to vacate the land immediately or be removed from the land. Alternatively and in coordination with local law enforcement and county/state officials, all trespassers will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and removed from the land, the company said. Lawless behavior will not be tolerated. Just days ago, sheriffs officials had said earlier they didnt have the resources to immediately remove activists from the private land, about 50 miles south of Bismarck. Subsequently, law enforcement officials put out a call for reinforcements, with hundreds of officers from out of state responding. On Wednesday, actor and environmental activist Mark Ruffalo and civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson went to the new camp to speak and pray with the water protectors. Ruffalo had arrived the night before to speak on an anti-DAPL panel with Native activists at the Prairie Knights Casino and Hotel, according to Indian Country Today. After touring the camp Jackson spoke to the crowd, reminding people that nonviolence is key to winning the battle for justice. With promises broken, land stolen, and sacred lands desecrated, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is standing up for their right to clean water. They have lost land for settlers to farm, more land for gold in the Black Hills, and then again even more land for the damn (sic) that was built for flood control and hydro power, Jackson said. When will the taking stop? When will we start treating the first peoples of these lands with the respect and honor they deserve? The rerouting of the pipeline away from Bismarck to its current route is the ripest case of environmental racism Ive seen in a long time, Jackson said. Bismarck residents dont want their water threatened, so why is it okay for North Dakota to react with guns and tanks when Native Americans ask for the same right? The pipeline was originally scheduled to run north of Bismarck until local residents expressed displeasure with the plan, with the DAPL ultimately being rerouted to its current trajectory near the Oceti Sakowin Standing Rock Reservation. With an impending militarized police raid of the camp, Mekasi Camp-Horinek, one of the camp coordinators, told officers the protesters planned to stand their ground, saying Do what youve got to do, according to the Bismarck Tribune. I dont have a crystal ball to know when it will happen, but we know it will happen, said Mekasi Camp-Horinek, a member of the Ponca tribe in Oklahoma. Were going to hold this ground. Water protectors could be heard chanting, Stand in peace against the beast. Im here to die if I have to. I dont want to die but I will, said Didi Banerji, who lives in Toronto but is originally from the Spirit Lake Sioux reservation in North Dakota. The protesters are simply trying to keep law enforcement from preventing their efforts to stop the pipeline said David Red Bear Jr., 30, from the South Dakota side of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. If we dont stop them here, theyre going to cut us off closer to the pipeline. We cant let that happen, Red Bear said. Were not trying to force anybodys hand. Were just trying to stand up for what we believe in. The reality is that the citizens of North Dakota are funding a protection force, in the form of police, for a multi-billion dollar corporate entity. North Dakotas Emergency Commission previously approved $6 million in emergency funding for law enforcement costs related to the protest with almost all of those funds having been used already. The Department of Emergency Services plans to ask for more, spokeswoman Cecily Fong said. Do North Dakotans want their tax money spent on police acting as paid enforcers for Wall Street and big oil interests? While law enforcement claims they are just doing their job and enforcing the law, in reality, they are acting as enforcers for an unjust corporate oligarchy that consistently puts money over people. The financial elite are the ones who the police are truly protecting and serving not the American people. Please share this article and stand with Standing Rock! Jay Syrmopoulos writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. The 1851 Treaty was between the then existing government of the Republic of the united states of America and the native american tribes. That treaty has not been overturned by a corporate government in North Dakota or Washington, D.C. The native americans have full right to be on the land and to prevent the pipeline from being constructed. All those security forces that are there are in direct violation of the law of the land, the Constitution for the united states of America. Oh, well that solves it, the constitution doesnt apply to anyone anymore, so no rights for all of us, but all rights for the international corporations. Same as it ever was. Police have been corporate muscle to insulate them from reaping the benefits of their crimes for over 100 years. Only difference now is, itll be captured in HD. Figured that was their next step. Why are you letting them do these corrupt things? Have your backbones been conditioned out of you? Militarized capitalism = fascism = selling you eco-coffins. In 1933, John Maynard Keynes wrote an open letter to President Franklin Roosevelt urging the new president to borrow money to be spent on public works programs. Thus as the prime mover in the first stage of the technique of recovery I lay overwhelming emphasis on the increase of national purchasing power resulting from governmental expenditure which is financed by Loans and not by taxing present incomes. Nothing else counts in comparison with this. In a boom inflation can be caused by allowing unlimited credit to support the excited enthusiasm of business speculators. But in a slump governmental Loan expenditure is the only sure means of securing quicklya rising output at rising prices. That is why a war has always caused intense industrial activity. In the past orthodox finance has regarded a war as the only legitimate excuse for creating employment by governmental expenditure. You, Mr President, having cast off such fetters, are free to engage in the interests of peace and prosperity the technique which hitherto has only been allowed to serve the purposes of war and destruction. The time has come for all to resist in any way possible the destruction of our people by the corporations. First the people should do so in a non violent way as the native americans have shown us in this case. And then if that fails by whatever means necessary as the people of the colonies did in 1776. Yes. History has turned. Time to defend against our DOMESTIC enemies. Just looked in Google Earth and there is a No Fly Zone set up exactly where this article says and it is dated Oct 26. You can check the FAA official web site for Flight Restriction Zones. Subsequently, law enforcement officials put out a call for reinforcements, with hundreds of officers from out of state responding. The Bundys were just found not guilty, this looks and sounds like a job for them!!! Assemble the militia! The Federal Government really has no right to ownership of any land the land belongs to We The People wtf our Government (OUR EMPLOYEES) have gotten way out of control. Its time to FIRE them! We MUST reclaim our country, prayers are with you all. 
1	Just four years ago, then-eighth-grader Heather Lawler had no idea how to spell Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's last name. She would often eliminate the 'e' after the 'o,' or place an extra vowel before the 'l.' Sometimes, she even wrote out the last six letters as 'burger.' Now a high school senior, Lawler is just one of thousands of Pittsburgh students who will graduate with the ability to spell Roethlisberger in the 97th percentile, a statistic that puts her head and shoulders above millions of students across the United States. 'If you look at the data, our students were correctly spelling Roethlisberger only 43 percent of the time during the quarterback's rookie season,' said Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who called the 2004 statistic an embarrassment. 'In just five years, we have increased that number to 92 percent. That's 54 percent better than students in California, 35 percent better than those in Oklahoma, and 96 percent better than those in the Cleveland area, who tend to spell Roethlisberger by adding the letters 'u,' 'c,' and 'k' after the letter 's.'' 'The bottom line is the Pittsburgh school system is giving its students a leg up on the competition, not only in America, but throughout the world,' Ravenstahl added. 'Our kids correctly spelled Roethlisberger 12 times more often than all the students in Europe and Asia combined.' Pittsburgh teachers said that in 2005 they noticed an alarming trend: Students stopped using Roethilsberger's last name in essays and papers, instead referring to the quarterback by his easy-to-spell nickname, 'Big Ben.' That summer, the Pittsburgh school board took action, eliminating various art courses, American history, and Advanced Placement calculus in favor of a rigorous new curriculum focused squarely on getting its students back on track. Instead of taking world history, seventh-graders were enrolled in Spelling Roethlisberger I. Geometry and trigonometry were replaced by Advanced Roethlisberger-Memorizing. And rather than 'waste time,' as Ravenstahl said, in AP chemistry and English, juniors and seniors were required to take an intensive Roethlisberger colloquia, in which they would spend a three-hour class period not only discussing the spelling of Roethlisberger, but the spelling of the names of other Steelers players, such as strong safety Troy Polamalu and left guard Chris Kemoeatu. According to biology teacher Mark Irwin, who also serves as an interdisciplinary Interpretations of the Spelling of Roethlisberger IV instructor, the current curriculum gives graduating students the skills essential to becoming contributing members of the Pittsburgh community. 'When I was in school, every single one of us knew how to spell Bradshaw,' Irwin told reporters. 'Granted, Roethlisberger is more difficult, but the world in general is becoming an increasingly demanding place, and we have to prepare our students to meet that demand.' 'I'm just happy with how the parents have taken initiative on the home front,' Irwin added. 'Some of these kids come into eighth grade already knowing how to spell Roethlisberger, which makes things a lot easier on us, and allows teachers to develop their skills even further.' High school principal Dr. Allen Pembrook said that seniors in his school spend the entire second half of the year gearing up to take their RSATs, or Roethlisberger Standardized Assessment Test. During this time, all other courseseven Steelers Defenses 1970 to Presenttake a backseat as students prepare for the 17-question exam. 'The first three questions are pretty easy,' said high school senior Brent Gerson, referring to the portion of the test in which students are asked to give the first letter of the quarterback's first name, then the second, and finally the third. 'The last 14 questions about the last name are pretty hard. There is no letter bank or anything, and it's graded on full completion. But if you remember what you worked on for the last six years, and the student sitting in front of you remembers to wear his Roethlisberger jersey, you should be fine.' Thus far the new curriculum has paid off for students entering the job market, especially those who wish to remain in the city after graduation. 'If you ask me if I would rather hire a kid from Boston with a 4.0 GPA who puts a 'u' after the 'b' in Roethlisberger, or a kid who can spell the name correctly, I'm going to hire the kid who can spell Roethlisberger,' said Pittsburgh attorney Martin Snyder, adding that clients in Southwestern Pennsylvania appreciate, above all, a lawyer with a working knowledge of how to spell the names of the entire 2005 Super Bowl team. 'Anyone can go to law school and pass a bar exam, but knowing that there is a silent 'h' after the 'w' in Cowher? Well, that takes somebody special.'

'If you look at the pistols Miss Kitty was brandishing, they were clearly of a make not produced by the Colt factories until well after the turn of the century,' Nance said. 'And the kind of white patent-leather boots worn by the strippers were not produced at any time during the Westward Expansion phase.' Nance also noted that pasties of the Wild West era did not feature tassels.

3	American police state: officer may be fired for protecting young man from police brutalityMadison Ruppert, Contributor In this case, Officer Tasca is being declared psychologically incompetent for stepping in to save an emotionally disturbed young man from a brutal beating at the hands of police. Here at End the Lie I have covered just a few of the troubling things police are able to get away with, such as murdering elderly tourists with pepper spray while they are restrained and brutally beating senior citizens suffering from dementia. I have also pointed out how when the good police officers out there actually do their job and stand up for justice, they are targeted for harassment or in some cases even thrown in a psychiatric ward. The things that police officers end up actually getting in trouble for tend to be outright absurd, like mowing the lawn in shorts, yet no one is held responsible for the most egregious violations like those listed above. Officer Regina Tascas ordeal started back in April of last year when she turned on her dashboard camera before attempting to stop two officers from brutally beating a 22-year-old emotionally disturbed man. The incident occurred when a mother, Tara, called to have her emotionally disturbed son, Kyle, taken to the hospital. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Bogota police responded. Officer Tasca was the only officer on the road the Bogota PD has a mere 20 officers in total so she followed protocol and called for backup. Two officers from the Ridgefield Park police showed up, and thats when everything went horribly wrong. Keep in mind, Tasca had just finished being trained to work with emotionally disturbed individuals as part of a state-mandated training program. The Ridgefield Park officer automatically charges and takes him [Kyle] down to the ground. I was quite shocked. As hes doing that, another Ridgefield Park officer flies to the scene in his car, jumps out and starts punching him in the head, Officer Tasca described. When viewing the disturbing video (which can be seen here), we hear Kyle and his mother Tara screaming, Stop punching me! and Why are you punching him? Astoundingly, the two Ridgefield Park Sergeants responsible have never refuted the claims that they repeatedly assaulted the 22-year-old man as he was waiting for medical assistance. Even more insane is that Kyle was never arrested or charged for any offense whatsoever. Officer Tasca says that is because Kyle never threatened the officers, did not possess a weapon and most importantly, was not violent and did not resist. Tasca was eventually able to pull off one of the Ridgefield Park officers who was striking Kyle and his mother actually called Tasca personally to thank her. Thank you Regina. I appreciate you standing up for him, for protecting him while the officer attacked him. I cant figure out what i would have done without you at the scene, Tara said in the message. Officer Regina Tasca says she is the only femalethe first female everand the first and only gay female also, in the Bogota Police Department. When asked if she thinks this blatantly unfair has anything to do with her sexual orientation and gender, she said, Yes, unhesitatingly. Tasca also said that she is being punished for actually doing her job is because she crossed the so-called blue line by refusing to support another officer who was guilty of using excessive force. It definitely doesnt help that she is one of just 20 other officers. Tasca is going to be assisted by Catherine Elston, an attorney and former police officer herself, during the week-long department trial. This was excessive force used against an emotionally disturbed person, Elston said. This was an unlawful tackle, this was a punching an emotionally disturbed person whose arms were pinned under his chest with his face pushed into the ground. After the incident, she met with her superior officer and, The next thing I know he asks me to turn over my weapon and be sent for a fitness for duty exam, she recalled. Once Tasca recounted he events, the Bogota PD apparently believed that she was psychologically incompetent and thus unable to be a police officer. She was sent for testing but the Ridgefield Park officers were never so much as questioned. No investigators from the departments internal affairs even interviewed the officers and they are currently still on the streets and continue to be paid. This is all while there is photographic evidence from the hospital showing the bruises the 22-year-old sustained on his head, back, arms and wrists from the assault. While letting the officers responsible for the beating off the hook completely, Bogota PD opted to suspend Tasca, an 11-year veteran with multiple commendations. Tascas trial, which will be held before a retired judge who will be the only person making the final decision, began on April 17. If another officer is using excessive force, its my duty to make sure you stop it. And thats what I did, Tasca said. Theyre not just terminating her. Theyre destroying her reputation, Elston said. It is great to see that there are indeed still police officers out there who join the force for the right reasons and continue to actually do their job, which is to protect and serve the people, not ruthlessly beat them for no reason. Hopefully Tasca will have her name cleared, have all back pay paid and both of the officers responsible will be stripped of their positions and ideally charged with assault. The fact that the Bogota PD thought that this decision was in any way rational or legitimate is, in my opinion, deeply troubling and a disturbing sign of the times in which we live today.

1	In a nationally televised address to the American people Wednesday night, President Bush called upon every man, woman, and child to spiral uncontrollably downward into complete and utter panic. President Bush addresses the nation shortly before shaving his head and soaking the Oval Office in his own urine. Speaking from the Oval Office, Bush assured citizens that in these times of great uncertainty, the best and only course of action is to come under the throes of a sudden, overwhelming fear marked by hysterical or irrational behavior. 'My fellow Americans, the time for running aimlessly through streets while shrieking and waving our arms above our heads is now,' Bush said. 'I understand that many of you are worried about your economic future and our situation overseas, and you have every right to be. Yet there is only one thing we as a nation can do in times like these: give up all hope and devolve into a lawless, post-apocalyptic, every-man-for-himself society.' 'For those of you who have remained resolute in your belief that things will turn around eventually, I urge you to close your eyes, take shallow rapid breaths, and begin freaking out immediately,' Bush added. 'At this point, anyone who isn't scared to death needs to wake the fuck upbecause we're screwed here.' The Department of Homeland Security's website provides information for Americans not currently losing their shit. <a href='http://www.theonion.com/content/news/bush_calls_for_panic'>Read More</a> The president then picked up the telephone from his desk and hurled it through the Oval Office window. During the address, Bush laid out a historic five-point plan for panic that he hopes will help the American people fall apart as quickly as possible. The planwhich many are calling Bush's most well-thought-out proposal to datecalls for citizens to abandon their daily routines entirely, and engage in a weeklong period of bloodcurdling screaming, arm flailing, dry heaving, and gnawing on one's fingers while rocking back and forth in alternating bouts of maniacal laughter and gentle sobbing. Under the new bill, Americans are also advised to withdraw all their money from U.S. banks and the stock market, place it in a Maxwell House coffee tin, and bury it in a safe place in their backyard. In addition, Bush has urged the legalization of Americans trampling one another in a mad rush to compete for the nation's dwindling resources, and proposed allocating $3 billion toward a program that would give every citizen a gun and a bottle of 140-proof whiskey. The final part of the plan calls for the immediate release of all convicted felons and death-row inmates from the nation's prisons. Immediately after Congress approves his plan, the president said he will order multiple B-2 stealth bombers to fly over America's cities at low altitude. The resulting sonic boom, Bush said, will set off all car alarms and cause all babies to cry uncontrollably, which he believes will promote a real sense of chaos throughout the nation. In addition, Bush intends to release 50 live cobras into the Senate chamber. 'I realize this is a difficult vote for members of Congress, but at this critical time in our nation's history, it is imperative that we not sit back and pretend like everything is fine, because everything's not fine, it's just not,' Bush said. 'Even if Congress fails to act, I still intend to do what is right and lead this country into mass hysteria by acting outside the framework of the U.S. Constitution, overriding the entire democratic process, and setting the Lincoln Memorial on fire.' Early reactions on Capitol Hill to Bush's call for panic have thus far been positive. Leading House Republicans and Democrats said they appreciate the president's candor, and will encourage their constituents to comply with Bush's request to 'find something and smash it with all of their strength.' 'For most of the day tomorrow, I intend to do my part by remaining in my boarded-up home and getting worked up about our standing in the world,' Pacoima, CA resident Harold Miller said. 'And then at night, I plan to lie awake in my bed and be scared to death about the loss of my job, pension, and retirement fund. Then I plan to run out into the streets in my bathrobe and shout that the End of Days is coming.' Bush told Americans that if at any point they catch themselves feeling even slightly at ease, they should remind themselves that, in the end, everything is going to be completely fucked. 
2	BREAKING: The Results Are In... And The Race Is Not Even Close The mainstream media has been doing everything they can to make it look like Donald Trump does not stand a chance in the upcoming election. Now, some information from Google has confirmed he still has a very good shot of making it to the White House. This week, Google released statistics saying that the question, How to vote for Trump has about twice as many searches as How to vote for Hillary. This would naturally suggest that more voters are interesting in voting for Trump. Of course, the Clinton campaign will probably try to argue that Trump supports are uneducated deplorables, but were not buying that. In reality, they are probably interested in actually learning how to make their vote for the future of America count. This confirms what we have suspected for months now; Clinton is simply not generating as much excitement among her supporters as Trump is. What do you think about this? Will you vote for Trump? 
3	Someone Finally Did It! Man Sues TSA for Making Him Miss His FlightBy Melissa Dykes A Twin Cities man has sued the TSA and the Twin Cities airport operator for $506.85, the cost of missing his flight and having to buy a ticket for another flight due to a long security delay, the kind that have been hitting major airports all across the country lately. Via Star Tribune: In the lawsuit filed in federal court last week, Hooman Nikizad said his wait of more than 90 minutes on March 19 before he passed through security screening by the federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) made him miss his afternoon flight to Los Angeles. I had to buy a ticket with another airline to be able to make my destination and meet my obligations, Nikizad said in his claim, which noted the TSA had limited staff on duty at the time and only one body scanner for the regular security line [in operation]. Nikizad, a resident surgeon with the University of Minnesota, said in his suit that the TSA and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport have done a very poor job of getting passengers through security. This is surely only the firstof many lawsuits to come. Can you imagine if lawsuits like this one started popping up everywhere as citizens across America starting fight back against this airport tyranny? How long until the TSA would be finished? After all, if people cant even make it onto their flights to begin with because TSA takes too long, then there wont be much left to secure will there. Image Credit: TheAntiMedia.org Melissa Dykes is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple and a co-creator of Truthstream Media with Aaron Dykes, a site that offers teleprompter-free, unscripted analysis of The Matrix we find ourselves living in. Melissa also co-founded Nutritional Anarchy with Daisy Luther of The Organic Prepper, a site focused on resistance through food self-sufficiency. Wake the flock up! Who has the betting pool going for whether this case will be used to further erode our rights and dignity? the TSA just announced that they are going to move the screening/sexual assault out to the parking lot or the road leading up to the airport. Can you imagine the traffic jams? You wont even be able to get in line to be groped. Wow! frivolous! why is he only suing for $506??? Just to prove hes not in it for the money! Its the principal of the thing. Yup very smart. Higher chance of setting a precedent and being seen as a righteous suit. They make you take off your shoes, hopefully he will sue their pants off. TSA = punishment for buying the lies of 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan and other Israel-serving wars. TSA is about policing and inconveniencing law-abiding citizens. Why the H do people fly anyway? Cars will get you there. Boycott airlines and let them know why. We refuse to fly since gestapo airports started. If someone dies way off, we will send condolences. I tell folks we no longer travel out of our area and have flown years back when people didnt put up with all this crap. We take shorter vacations if any.

3	New facial analysis software is capable of recognizing emotional states, identifying struggling studentsMadison Ruppert NCSU researchers have also shown the ability to remotely control cockroaches, even on autopilot using the Microsoft Kinect. In this case, the researchers used video cameras to monitor the faces of college students who were being tutored via computer. Software capable of matching facial expression with various levels of engagement or frustration allowed researchers to recognize when students were either not being challenged by the work or were finding it too difficult. Similar software has made some quite amazing leaps in recent years, even demonstrating the ability to spot liars better than human experts. This particular piece of software may be used in order to help teachers track the performance of students in real time or in online classrooms. The advances could even help massively open online courses (or MOOCs), which can involve many thousands of students working remotely, to be more attuned to students needs, according to MIT Technology Review. Will Knight, writing for the Technology Review, states that this could be part of a broader revolution in computing called affective computing, wherein various devices are capable of identifying and responding to emotion. Some 60 hours of video footage was analyzed using the Computer Expression Recognition Toolbox, a computer program that recognizes facial expressions. The researchers then compared the softwares analysis with the students own reports of their state of mind and discovered that they were a close match. Ultimately, they want to develop a tutoring system to assist students having difficulty with their studies and bolster their confidence and keep them motivated, said Joseph Grafsgaard, PhD student at NCSU who coauthored the paper, which will be presented at the Sixth International Conference on Educational Data Mining. Knight points out that others are exploring potential applications for affective computing in the field of education. One such individual is Jacob Whitehall, a software engineer and research scientist with Emotient. Emotient is a startup which is focusing on commercial uses of affective computing in everything from market research to the triggering of appropriate and meaningful responses from our digital world. Whitehall recently coauthored a paper, which has yet to be published, demonstrating that computer-identified facial expressions could actually predict test performance. There is an emerging agreement that facial-expression recognition can play a constructive role in teaching, Whitehall said. Yet at the same time, teachers performance can actually be hindered if they dont know how or when to respond to feedback about the emotional state of a student. Its a hard problem to know how to use these [emotion] sensors effectively, Whitehall said. Still, Whitehall contends that the technology could be quite useful for the increasingly popular online learning platforms out there. Udacity and Coursera have on the order of a million students, and I imagine some fraction of them could be persuaded to turn their webcams on, Whitehall said. I think you would learn a lot about what parts of a lecture are working and what parts are not, and where students are getting confused. It is interesting to note that this kind of technology is also being applied to areas not quite as admirable as helping student engagement and success, such as so-called threat assessments. Hopefully these advances will indeed be used to create more successful learning environments instead of being leveraged for market research and threat assessment.

3	We Sure Are Becoming Weary of Intelligence Ops, False Flags: Awakening is UnderestimatedOp-Ed by Cassius Kamarampi Were becoming quicker to respond, more sharp and discerning with what we believe, and our discernment is not quarantined to our individual circles of thinking people: we must take solace in the fact that our increasing discernment and sharpness is indeed spreading to our friends, family, and people who we may not even realize were influenced by us. Welcome to the bright side of the information age: the viral nature of truth and its far-reaching, possibly underestimated power. Consider how susceptible to manipulation, malleable to the molding hand of propaganda the American people were in the 40s, or 50s. Now consider how quickly the people who pay attention were pondering whether or not the Brussels attack was a false flag. Immediately, a culture of conscious, quick-witted people saw through the agenda, and called out people like Belgian politician Francois-Xavier de Donnea, who immediately called for a pan-European FBI, a central European authority to deal with the threat of terror, as we reported last week. Weve been through decades upon decades of degrading conditions in America, with most completely oblivious to exponentially worse conditions abroad, directly a result of the US and allied powers-that-be. Weve been through decades of propaganda, and the fear button has been pushed too many times, with the lies too thoroughly exposed by people with too much at stake, for this media machine to continue fooling us. Too many people around the world and in America have suffered at the hands of those in power, for us to remain gullible: firsthand experience with the consequences of power, war, poverty, leaves a burning scar on the collective consciousness that can not be forgotten. The button has been pushed too many times. Consider how many revolutionaries have died trying to speak the truth, to bring us to this point: consider just how many people, from Malcolm X to Gary Webb, have given their lives to tell us things that are now freely available to see on the Internet, for anyone on Earth with an Internet connection and uncensored access to the Web. This article could go in the direction of saying we need to utilize the info more, we need to try harder, and thats true: but were being more effective at shifting the paradigm than we can possibly imagine. More people are listening to the thinkers than we can easily come to fathom. Things may feel hopeless at times (how any oligarchs would love for the social climate to be) but in reality were in an unprecedented global awakening. All we have to do is keep trying harder: keep communicating with everyone we know about what matters, pondering over real news and evidence to understand geopolitics and everything that concerns the powers that be and our future (as well as the central progression toward better lives, in Agorism, counter-economics, economies and social constructs of free people). We just have to keep digesting info with our families, friends, and build our own new cultures of thinking. We have to build our own new cultures of learning, routinely disseminating news and information instead of sitting down to watch TV: keeping a sharp eye of discernment for propaganda, upon a dense background of historical understanding This article (We Sure Are Becoming Weary of Intelligence Ops, False Flags: Awakening is Underestimated) is free and open source. You have permission to republish this article under a Creative Commons license with attribution to Era of Wisdom.org. Good article for thinking people. Ive come to the conclusion that everything EVERYTHING said by anyone associated with any governmental institution, agency, or is in anyway supported by government of any sort is a lie. Always its a lie. Never do we hear the truth. The truth is anathema to these people since it would expose their corruption and their obsession for power. And for money. Faith in our government and its governance is lost. It deserves to be lost. We would feel stupid if we still had faith in our governance and how it has perverted our government. Its fallen upon people like you and me to continue to expose this cultural of lies and corruption. And I sincerely believe the results of it will be a better outcome than that which is going to be without our efforts. Now all we have to do is figure out that its almost solely the Zionists who control the US currently that are running these false flags. Sites like AcitivistPost and all the other real pats that are keeping folks informed are the heroes of today. 
2	House Republicans Fight To Free Jailed Marine After Obama Refuses To It has been almost six months since U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi was taken into custody by Mexican officials at the border. Americans have sent the past quarter pushing for his release, however President Barack Obama has been noticeably absent from that discussion. Meanwhile, the American people have called for boycotts of Mexican products and travel until Tahmooressi is released. Others have started demonstrations against the Obama administration. Even Lt. Col. Oliver North has called for action from the administration to get Tahmooressi home as soon as possible. But the argument has fallen on deaf ears. Luckily, a group of House Republicans has decided to take action where Obama refuses to. In an appearance on Fox News, Montel Williams and Representative Matt Salmon announced a House subcommittee hearing looking into Tahmooressis situation, scheduled for October 1. The president has had ample opportunity to pick up the phone and call the president of Mexico, Salmon told reporters. This is about taking care of our soldiers who give us the right to speak out this way, Williams, a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps stated. What do you think? Is it time for the administration to start standing up for our soldiers before things go terribly wrong? 
1	Fifteen years after first envisioning the path he hoped his professional life would take, local man Brent Gibbs is still planning his future around being the drummer for Los Angeles-based alternative rock band Lifehouse, sources confirmed Monday. Sure, Ive been a bit more focused on my business career and starting a family in the past few years, but ever since No Name Face blew up in 2000, my ultimate goal has remained the same: to play percussion for Lifehouse, said the 32-year-old, who reportedly learned every track on Lifehouses first two albums in high school and college, and has plans to retrieve his five-piece Pearl drum kit from storage as soon as his family of four can move into a larger place. When I think about where Im going to be five years from now, I still see myself touring with the band, the three of us playing Hanging By A Moment to huge crowds all over the world. To be honest, Im pretty much ready to go whenever they call. Sources confirmed Gibbs continues to feel disappointment knowing his personal ambition has been, and continues to be, lived out by Lifehouse drummer Ricky Woolstenhulme Jr. 
1	A new study published Monday by the University of New Mexico confirmed that the name of the Washington Redskins is only offensive if you take any amount of time whatsoever to think about its actual meaning. When you hear or say Redskins in the abstract, its completely harmless, but weve discovered that if you briefly pause to remember its a racial slur for an indigenous group wiped out by genocide over the course of a few centuries, then, yeah, its awful, said lead researcher Lawrence Wagner, adding that only if you allow the NFL franchises name to register in your mind does it evoke the thought of human beings devastated by the forced removal from tribal lands, intentional exposure to smallpox, and countless massacres. It has the potential to come across as a degrading relic of an ethnocentric mentality responsible for the destruction of an entire people and their culture, but thats only if you take a couple seconds to recognize it as something beyond a string of letters. Wagner recommended that the NFL franchise should change their name to something more appropriate and historically accurate, such as the Washington Racist Fucks. 
2	Parents Pull Son Out Over What Muslims Are Doing To His School Parents take out a Los Angeles Boy from middle school refusing to let their son be converted to Muslim belief. The Manhattan Beach middle school student, was reportedly bring assignments home that went in depth into Muslim beliefs and the structure of Islamic culture. The parents became enraged when they found their son learning Islamic traditions and the Muslim faith. The father even caught his son writing, The one true God, Allah and All people must submit to Allah. The audacity of this school, to think that they can sit these children down and teach them whatever religion they please; its preposterous, the father said. This is illegal, basically. You cant teach religion in schools any more, but apparently, in this particular school, at least, thats not the case. The parents spoke with the school principal, even though she refused an interview she decided to change all the lesson concerning the Muslim faith. The boys parents still decided to take him out of that middle school and put him in a school where they would feel comfortable The parents commented that they wouldnt mind if the school taught about all faith, but to focus on just Muslim religion is just not right. Can you imagine the outcry all over this country if children were bringing home paperwork that asked them to write down John 3:16, or asked them to write down the 10 Commandments? the father asked, making it a point that religion should not be taught in school as a respect to all culture. 
3	Remember Who You Are: Writing ContestMadalena Costa Im participating in this contest because I feel like sharing my own truth and opinion about this Mans incredible journey. I got in touch for the first time with David Ickes work on the summer of 2008, when I watched on YouTube his presentation at the Brixton Academy 2006: Freedom or Fascism. I had been following my own spiritual path since 1998, one that led me to be initiated in Reiki and in a Hermetical Order. So everything I heard from Mr. Icke was no surprise, except for the reptilian part. All my life I had been feeling that there was some kind of evil force ruling the events on this planet, but I couldnt figure out what it was, until I heard him. And suddenly it all made sense. I started devouring his presentations and interviews on the Internet and I was moved to tears when I watched The Turning of the Tide, from 1996. What a presence, so enlightened, but still so human. In his own words, Infinite Consciousness experiencing itself in a physical body. I was at the Brixton Academy in May 2010 at the event Human Race Get Off Your Knees and the energy was so amazing that I decided to repeat in Lisbon in October the same year. Since Ive been following David Ickes work I come across three major arguments from his debunkers that tend to discredit his lifetime investigations. I will enumerate and comment on them as follows: So what? Havent all Christians been told in Sunday school that we all are children of God? Isnt he living the same kind of experience Jesus Christ did? David Icke is a revolutionary proposing a new form of thought that defies the establishment, and hes getting abused and ridiculed for it. Sounds familiar? History is always repeating itself as long as there are people who are ready to crucify those who come with a message of love and freedom for mankind. Platos Allegory of the Cave at its best. Anyone who has been through a spiritual awakening, and we are so many now and growing by the hour, starts vibrating in a whole new frequency that leads us to follow our intuition and heart. Doing this, we realize that the path has already been set up and we just have to follow the clues and coincidences, and guess what? Miracles happen! We feel guided, we feel weve been chosen, we feel likesons and daughters of God! At this time of mass awakening, if you havent felt like this yet, you should start worrying. You are behind schedule and might not make it in time for the shift. 2 If everything hes telling is true how come hes still alive? Same old formula: A good prophet is a dead prophet. So, in order for you to believe him he has got to be killed. Crucify him! Crucify him! Sound familiar? 2000 years later you have learned nothing yet. Are you claiming for the blood of an innocent? And what if he gets killed? Are you going to cry over his dead body, found a new religion based upon his sacrifice and start it all over again? This is just another proof that David Icke is right. We are trapped in a time loop, repeating again and again the same behaviour patterns, until we step out of this vicious circle embodying a new attitude. But theres a simple explanation for the fact that hes still alive. When he started his journey 20 years ago, he was so ridiculed that he posed no threat to anyone. To eliminate him now that he is a living legend, with thousands of followers all over the world, would confirm every single word he has been saying all along. The Illuminati are not that stupid. Its just common sense. David Icke is untouchable, protected by his own path. 3 A reptilian race manipulating the events on this planet? Where are they? On the Moon?! Do you want to see reptilians? Just open an illustrated Bible. Can you see Eve in the Garden of Eden, standing by the Tree of Knowledge, being tempted by the Serpent? You can go as well to a catholic church and look at the image of the Virgin Mary with a snake coiled around a crescent moon at her feet. Or the Archangel Michael holding the sword in his hand, defeating the Dragon. Serpents, Snakes and DragonsWhat to these figures have in common? ExactlyThey are reptilians! This religious iconography and Mr. David Icke are telling us one and the same story. The story of our long forgotten and traumatic past. How could we have survived our Fall from Grace (the Schism in his own words) into the slavery of the Ego if it hadnt been for our amnesia? David Icke is telling us a modern version of the same old story. This information that is buried deep down our collective unconscious is passing from generation to generation through these symbols and archetypes. Yes, the reptilians do exist, they are a product of our sick, divided and fractured minds and we allow them their physical existence because thats how powerful our minds are. Powerful enough to project and create outside what we carry inside. Reptilians are the so called Archons, the demons who pollute our minds, feeding off our energy, low emotions and fear. The best way to defeat the Dragon is to acknowledge its existence and then raise our vibration. In the higher realms of Consciousness Archons have no power. Its just a choice between Love and fear. And remember: You are Infinite Consciousness. THANK YOU, Mr. David Icke. We owe you our awakening and our freedom. See you at the Wembley Arena. Lets ignite the memory of our past and regain our Madeira Island, Portugal, 15th April 2012 This submission has been entered into a contest to win 2 premium tickets + $500 for travel to see David Icke at Wembley Arena, London October 27, 2012.

2	DISGRACEFUL: Obama Invites Rapper To White House... Soon After, They Heard A Loud Beeping Sound President Barack Obama has made some questionable choices in the friends he chooses, but this one just leaves us scratching our heads. According to recent reports, Obama celebrated his My Brothers Keeper initiative to keep black youths out of jail by inviting a gangster rapper to the White House. The worst part? During Obamas speech about the initiative, the rappers house-arrest ankle bracelet started beeping. Rick Ross, who named himself after a former drug kingpin, has been required to wear the ankle bracelet since he was released from jail after posting a $2 million bond in July 2015 for having kidnapped and beaten up his groundskeeper. Sounds like a real winner, and a great person to have hanging around the Oval Office. Ross music has been known to prime young children for a life of crime and incarceration. This is just another example of Obamas questionable judgment. Is it time that we had a real leader in the White House? 
3	Reports: NSA and GCHQ looking for terrorists in online video gamesMadison Ruppert The two agencies have a tight relationship that includes covertly influencing companies, sharing harvested information and directly accessing data as it moves between the datacenters of major Internet companies. The effort to spy on online games was revealed in documents leaked to the Guardian, The New York Times and Pro Publica by Edward Snowden. The documents show that the agencies created mass-collection capabilities for the Xbox Live network, which has over 48 million players interacting across a wide range of games. Agents were also tasked with infiltrating the online worlds of Second Life and World of Warcraft, with some attempts to recruit potential informants from the games tech-friendly users, according to the Guardian. The 2008 NSA document, titled Terrorist Use of Games Virtual Environments, described online games as target-rich communications network allowing intelligence agencies to hide in plain sight. Online games could be used to build a profile of a targets social networks through analysis of buddylists and interaction, as a window for hacking attacks, as a way to obtain identifiers like profile photos, geolocation and collection of a targets communications, according to the NSA document. Given that gaming consoles often include voice headsets, video cameras, and other identifiers, the potential for joining together biometric information with activities was also an exciting one, the Guardian reports. If such surveillance efforts continue to this day and will be utilized in the future, one might speculate that the Xbox One could be an especially useful tool for intelligence agencies. Yet there is not much evidence that the monitoring has yielded success in fighting terrorism as of yet, according to Computer World. However, GCHQ was able to use a network exploitation team to help London police catch a crime ring using Second Life to sell stolen credit cards, according to The New York Times. In a January 2009 meeting, it was revealed that GCHQ operatives had identified engineers, embassy drivers, scientists and other foreign intelligence operatives to be World of Warcraft players, making them potential targets for recruitment, according to the Times. Before U.S. intelligence agencies were exploiting the intelligence gathering potential of online games like World of Warcraft, the agencies were reportedly using mobile games to gather intelligence. The Pentagons Special Operations Command worked with multiple foreign companies in 2006 and 2007 to build games which were never identified as Pentagon creations to collect information about users, according to the Times. In spring 2009, the U.S. government also reportedly sought out defense contractors and academics to carry out studies into how real-world identities might be linked to in-game activity of players. It is unclear if these programs continue to this day. Id love to hear your opinion, take a look at your story tips and even your original writing if you would like to get it published.

1	Mere moments after Brett Favre threw his record-setting 421st touchdown pass, a slant to receiver Greg Jennings in the first quarter of a 23-16 victory against the Minnesota Vikings, the touchdown ball was placed in a locked box, archivists began taking measurements of Jennings, and an architectural firm began planning the dismantling of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, all in an effort to move the objects and people in question to the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. 'This is one of the all-time greatest moments in NFL history, and we must preserve as much of it as possible for future generations of fans,' said NFL vice president Joe Horrigan while supervising the careful packing of the Vikings secondary against which Favre threw the momentous pass. 'I am honored to have been here to see it, especially since that means I'm destined for the Hall of Fame myself.' The ball, Jennings, the Metrodome, Horrigan, most of the crowd, and Favre's wife, Deanna and daughter, Brittany will be installed next to Kitrick Taylor, who caught Favre's first NFL touchdown pass in 1992 and has been enshrined in Canton ever since. 
1	Noting how the pairs failure to promptly resolve the situation was a clear indication of their inability to raise or care for another human being, sources confirmed Friday that the parents of a crying infant must not be any good. Initial attempts to subdue the wailing child, which reportedly included presenting her with a bottle and later a stuffed animal, are said to have failed miserably, leading onlookers to conclude that the inept adults lacked even the most basic child-rearing skills. In addition, the babys incessant screaming only worsened following the couples repeated attempts to soothe her, further highlighting their profound inadequacies as a mother and father. At press time, sources confirmed another child just a few feet away from the bawling infant was not crying, and was therefore being raised by good parents who loved her. 
2	Rape Victim Walks Into Police Station With Bloody... Warning: this story is graphic. Recently, an Indian woman shocked local law enforcement when she took instant justice on her brother-in-law who had raped her. The 32-year-old victim walked into the police station covered in blood, holding her attackers penis in her hand. When she approached the desk, she handed over the mans penis and claimed that it was the only way to make him stop the repeated sexual assault she had suffered over the past several days. Police quickly headed to the scene of the rapes in the Sidhi district, where they discovered that the suspect had hung himself from a tree near the home. When he forced himself on me, I faked consent and severed his privates with a sickle, the woman told authorities. She also reported that her husband was working several hundred miles away, and she had been living with his brother. Now, the woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Sidhi SP Abid Khan told reporters that it was a rare case that needed further investigation before she could be released. They did confirm that the woman was mentally stable and not remorseful about her actions. What do you think? Did this rapist get exactly what he deserves? 
2	Black Man Kills White Woman Execution Style In Hollywood With Shotgun... No Business Being Burned According to recent reports, a 30-year-old white woman named Carrie Jean Melvin was walking with her boyfriend on Sunset Boulevard to get something to eat when she was suddenly shot by a black man. The thug approached the couple from behind with a shotgun, aimed at the back of Melvins head, and pulled the trigger at an extraordinarily close range. The attacker then jumped into a black sedan and drove away. There is no evidence suggesting the shooting was part of a botched robbery. And there was no conversation between the couple and the gunman before he opened fire, John Skaggs, a detective with the Los Angeles Police Departments West Bureau homicide unit told reporters. On one hand, she didnt have any known enemies, Skaggs continued. On the other hand, it looks like it was directed toward her. Were looking at all angles. Although Melvins boyfriend was interviewed, there was no indication that they had any idea there were enemies, that she would be targeted, so at this point we just dont know. Of course, we havent heard much about this attack in the media. Why? We can only speculate, but were suspecting race comes into play here. 
1	After years of working toward an ultimate goal of smashing the dominant social and political hierarchy, the Anarchy League of Batavia South High School rose up and took action Monday, moving to another cafeteria table when this bunch of jerks from the popular kids' table wouldn't stop making faces and shooting spitballs at them. 'At long last, the time has come for us to gather our books and sit over at that other table by the window where, hopefully, those guys will stop bugging us,' said sophomore anarchist Lindsay Franklin, 15. 'I hate those stupid idiots. They think they're so cool.' 
3	Sitting Ducks in Chinas Bathtub - an Overture to World War III?By Doug Casey Many politicians and pundits in the U.S. blame those damn Chinese for taking our jobs by filling Walmart with tons of cheap goods, and the swarthy ragheads for making the price of oil too high (usually, but nowtoo low). The Russians, the Iranians, the Taliban (who will soon reconquer Afghanistan) and ISIS (which is carving out a new nation-state from the ruins of Syria and Iraq) are permanent members on the list of Bad Boys. But now, since the Obama regime has decided to pivot to the East, you can underline Chinas name on that list. The pivot being the U.S. governments new focus on meddling in Asia, as opposed to meddling in the Middle East and Europe. U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter says the U.S. will be the principal security power in the Pacific for decades to come. Im sure the locals, including the Chinese, were thrilled to hear that. Its said that the U.S. government has combat troops (or advisors, as highly trained special ops guys are usually euphemistically termed) in about 100 countries. Its hard to keep track of their latest interventionalthough interference is a better word. Note that I said they, not us, in reference to Washington. The city has a life of its own and its interests are not necessarily those of the country it rules. Lets seesending arms to a puppet government in Kiev to help put down a secession in Donetsk and Lugansk. Sending jets, and now ground troops, to Syria, which will quite possibly create an incident with the Russians. 150 soldiers to Uganda to fight the Lords Resistance Army and 300 to Cameroon to fight Boko Haram. And more troops to Iraq and Afghanistan to help out our allies. For the moment, theyre the best allies money can buy. Its hard to keep track of them all, with something new almost every week. But, on the bright side, war is natures way of teaching Americans geography. So, with that in mind, we now have to learn where the Spratly Islands are. Lets start with a map. Youll note the red line. In 2012 China decided that the entire area, right up to the shorelines of Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei, was part of its economic zone. The governments of all those countries also have claims to parts of the South China Sea, and the Spratlys in particular. Youll also note the Paracels, another zone of contention, between China and Vietnam. Believe it or not, from 1956 to 1972 (when he was jailed for his efforts) a Filipino businessman, one Toms Cloma, also attempted to claim part of the Spratlys, and make it an independent country, Freedomland. This caught my attention, in that I was (very marginally) involved in three other island independence movements in the 70s: Nagriamel, Abaco, and Minerva. Those, however, are stories (all a mixture of tragedy, comedy, and pathos) for another day. Until very recent times, the Spratlys were best known as a hazard to navigation, with about 750 islets, reefs, and sandbars, total land area about 1.5 square miles, spread over about 160,000 square miles of the South China Sea. Ive never been to the Spratlys. But their potential value is clear. Its said up to 30% of the worlds fish catch comes from the South China Sea. And, almost needless to say, its conjectured that the area contains a lot of oil. So, youre probably asking yourself, What is that to me? The answer should logically be Nothing, really, unless its a question on a quiz show. But the U.S. government, although it, as usual, has no dog in the fight, has decided to get involved. The catalyst for it acting now is that China is in the process of transforming at least seven reefs into usably large artificial islands, several with long airstrips. Ive looked at the history of who has used, and claimed ownership, of the islands over the centuries. All the adjacent countries have somewhat reasonable-sounding claims. And the Taiwanese, Filipinos, Malaysians and Vietnamese each have a military presence on one or more of the Spratlys. But only the recent Chinese efforts have drawn the U.S. governments attention. Recently, they sent a guided missile destroyer, the USS Lassen, within the 12-mile limit of Subi Reef, which the Chinese are currently expanding. Reports are conflicting whether the ship was just innocently passing through, or trying to create a precedent. Id like to ask, how do you, I mean you personally, feel about that? Id like to know. Scores of millions of Asian locals, whod previously never even heard of the islands, and certainly cant find them on a map, are getting worked up because their governments told them the islands were theirs. And now the U.S. is further complicating the matter. But heres my take. The Chinese seem quite out of line claiming the whole South China Sea as their economic zone. Shame on them. But how is that the problem of the U.S.? Its the problem of the locals. Should the Chinese be able to build artificial islands? Thats a somewhat different question. Id say, why not? Disputed or unclaimed land belongs to the person who uses it. One thing is for sure: the U.S. government is asking for trouble flying military aircraft off the coast of China and sailing warships into waters they claim. How would the U.S. react if Chinese planes and warships were often seen off the West coast? Or if the Santa Catalina or San Juan islands developed independence movements that the Chinese backed? The U.S. government feels pretty bold about its intrusion into the South China Sea, since no other government has a naval force even remotely comparable to its 12 aircraft carrier groups. But that boldness is foolish and unjustified. Ive said for many years that those carriers are exactly analogous to battleships before World War II, or cavalry before World War I. Theyre essentially sitting ducks, highly vulnerable to all manner of cheap, accurate missiles, both cruise and ballistic, that could swarm themen masse. It will be a huge embarrassment to Americans (but a treat to divers a couple generations hence) when theyre sunk, and sprouting barnacles like the Japanese fleet in Truk Lagoon. The U.S. knows that its Chinas backyard, and they could sink any U.S. taskforce if they choose to. But they probably wont. Why start a war when your enemy has a superior military, but you are growing your economy several times faster than he is? It makes more sense to waitso its likely to remain a Mexican standoff, as opposed to an overture to World War III. But these things have a way of escalating unpredictably. In any event, it makes no sense to go to the other side of the globe just to provoke someone. In the meantime, the U.S. carrier groups are prestigious, and great for sticking the U.S. governments nose into far-off places where its not welcome. But theyre hugely expensive, at about $6 billion a ship, plus another billion or two per copy for its half-dozen escorts, plus another $200 million for each of the 50 or so F-35 fighters theyll soon carry. Plus a few billion a year to keep each group operational. Not to worry on that score; the Chinese will surely lend the U.S. government more money to enable that. Theres plenty of reason to be concerned about the roughly $1 trillion a year the U.S. spends on the military and security. Even though its more than the next 28 countries combined, its apparently not enough to keep America safe. In fact, its actually making the country less safe, by provoking and threatening other powers. And if it doesnt start a war in the short run, its going to guarantee a U.S. bankruptcy in the slightly longer run. All the hawks running for president this year (which is to say, almost every candidate) seem oblivious to the fact that, in anything but the briefest conflict, economic power completely trumps military hardware. In conclusion, whenever you see a mention of the U.S. Navy and the Spratlys in the same paragraph, youre seeing a reminder of an open vein helping to bleed America dry. And thats the best case.

3	Roundups Glyphosate on the EPAs RadarFinally!By Catherine J. Frompovich Roundup also has been used in an off-label way, i.e., to commit suicide, and contrary to Patrick Moores denial. Global Research reports: According to figures outlining farmer suicide rates, 17,638 Indian farmers committed suicide in 2009 about one death every 30 minutes. Oftentimes, the farmers would commit the act by drinking the very same insecticide that Monsanto supplied them with a terrible end in which Monsanto has wrecked the lives of independent and traditional farmers. [CJF emphasis added. No wonder Moore refused a glass of Roundup!] Why did WHOs International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) take so long to issue a statement in which glyphosate (the main component of Roundup) was classified as probably carcinogenic to humans and as sufficiently demonstrated for genotoxicity [the ability of a chemical property/agent to cause damage to genetic information within a cell that can cause mutations which can lead to cancer] in animals? Arent humans also classified as the animal kingdom? We certainly arent plants! Although some people actually are plants for certain vested interests. However, conscientious consumers need to ask, Did Monsanto know 35 years ago that there was the glyphosatecancer link? [1] Global Research News contends that According to evidence unearthed from the archives of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in the United States, it has been established that Monsanto was fully aware of the potential of glyphosate to cause cancer in mammals as long ago as 1981. [2] The photograph below indicates what Roundup can do to human skin. What, then, does glyphosate residues do to the human digestive tract, including the stomach and pancreas, when we drink or eat glyphosate residue in ppm [parts per million] that are permitted in food and potable water sources? What, though, is the result of the cumulative ppm consumed since glyphosate residues have been found in many GMO crops that have been tested to date. Moms Across America provides a resource for testing for glyphosate, and is looking for help here. The Forensic Food Lab also may be another resource, especially regarding other toxins in foods. Food Safety News reports that Testing for glyphosate residue has not been systematically done by the federal government so far because the herbicide has been considered safe for use on food crops. However, a recent report from the World Health Organizations research arm, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, stated that glyphosate is probably carcinogenic to humans. [CJF emphasis added] [3] Since Roundup was touted as equivalent to the best thing since sliced white bread in herbicides, lets take a look at how some countries are dealing with it.

The Netherlands Says No to Monsanto, Bans RoundUp Herbicide El Salvador In 2013 El Salvador has voted to ban glyphosate, the pesticide that most GM crops are designed to be grown with, along with 52 other chemicals. Russia Russian President Vladimir Putin recently signed the Russian Federation Code of Administrative Offences into law, including a new article establishing liability for the violation of mandatory requirements for the labeling of food products that contain GMOs. President Putin also said in 2014 that Russia must protect its citizens from over consumption of products containing genetically modified organisms. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev followed this with a statement that Russia has no intention to import GMOs in the future. [CJF emphasis added. No wonder Putin is Mr. Bad Guyhe doesnt tap dance to the OWO partys music!] See the Resource Its the toxic herbicide Roundup and glyphosates, stupid! Mexico Monsanto Request Removal of Mexican Judge over GM Maize Ban According to AllGov, Canada, Brazil, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands have or will soon impose restrictions or bans on glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsantos Roundup weed killer, the most heavily used pesticide in the United States. [4] Contrary to what U.S. consumers are told by the media regarding toxic sprays in foreign countries, take a read on this from AllGov, Farm chemicals banned by European and Asian countries are still being used, often in large measure, across the United States. [4] [CJF emphasis added Glyphosate/Roundup Information Everyone Should Know and Save Probably the best information regarding glyphosate on the web is that prepared by a medical doctor, Jeff Ritterman, MD, vice president of the board of directors of the SF Bay Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility. He is the retired chief of cardiology at Kaiser Richmond and a former Richmond, California, city councilman. Rittermans information Will Richmond Reject Monsantos Roundup? The Case for Banning Glyphosate is the most comprehensive Ive come across in my research. It should be used as a prime scientific/medical resource for everyone regarding GMOs and glyphosate/Roundup. Another thing I particularly like about it is, Dr. Ritterman provides a template to follow for asking/presenting your local government officials a resolution to introduce banning glyphosatesomething everyone who values good health should be sending to your city council, township supervisors, country officials, and even state and highway officials asking them to ban Roundup spraying along interstates and other roadways. The Million-Dollar-Question What will the U.S. EPA do regarding glyphosate/Roundup? since according to Food Safety News, Glyphosate is commonly used on wheat, corn, soybeans, sugar beets and other crops in the U.S. and many other countries. Use of the herbicide has dramatically increased in recent years along with the planting of genetically engineered crops. While the U.S. government does not specifically test food products for glyphosate residue, it does do testing each year for hundreds of other herbicides and pesticides along with insecticides, fungicides, and other agricultural chemicals to make sure residues are not present in food products at levels considered dangerous to human health. The responsibility for this function is shared between EPA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). [5] [CJF emphasis added] Shared U.S. federal agencies responsibility is THE problem why glyphosate has been allowed to be used like water in the USA, I think. The lobbying and politicking that goes on is incredibly influential, especially since Monsanto, who makes Roundup, has former employees at the U.S. FDA: Michael Taylor, JD, [6] Deputy Commissioner for Foods, U.S. FDA, and Clarence Thomas, [7] U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice, and former Monsanto corporate lawyer! Are the cards stacked in Monsantos favor? Readers, you be the judge and decide. You also can change the outcome or verdict by what you use on your lawns; by not purchasing GMO foods, especially all processed brands which contain some form of GMOs; by not purchasing GMO seeds to plant your food garden [8, 9]; and by becoming an activist for GMO-labeling and a GMO-free United States of America. Who ever would have thought that Kraft would take out chemicals, preservatives and synthetics from its Original Macaroni and Cheese? Well, you, the consumers made that happen. Heres how: Kraft Foods on Monday said it is revamping its family-friendly macaroni and cheese meal, removing synthetic colors and preservatives from the popular boxed dinner. The move comes at a time when Kraft is battling sluggish demand as consumers shift to brands that are perceived as healthier, including foods that are organic or less processed. [CJF emphasis added] The company has also been targeted by consumer advocacy groups. (Source) Consumers can get the same results for glyphosate/Roundup and GMOs. Go for it!

3	Even Rahm Emanuel Says Decriminalize MarijuanaPhillip Smith Fifteen states, including Rhode Island, whose governor signed a decriminalization bill into law Tuesday, have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana, as have several large American cities. Chicago police arrested more than 18,000 people on small-time (less than 10 grams) marijuana possession charges last year. Each arrest involves about four officers two to arrest and two to transport said a statement from the mayors office. These arrests tied up more than 45,000 police hours, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said in the mayors office statement. The new ordinance nearly cuts that time in half, which equals an approximate $1 million in savings, while freeing up cops to address more serious crime. Under existing law, people caught with small amounts of marijuana face up to six months in jail. If the ordinance is approved, they would face only a citation and the loss of their weed. The result is an ordinance that allows us to observe the law, while reducing the processing time for minor possession of marijuana ultimately freeing up police officers for the street, Emanuel said. The move on decriminalization comes as Chicago faces a long, hot summer. There have been 185 homicides through May 13, up from 116 during the same period last year. And the violence has continued since then, with 22 more people killed this month. Freeing up police resources by decriminalization could be seen as helping to address the violence problem. The ordinance will likely go for a vote before the City Council on June 27. Please visit StopTheDrugWar.org to support ending prohibition.

2	Hillary Clinton Helped A Child Rapist In The 1980s Rumors are coming to surface that Hillary Clinton is intends to place a bid for the second time, in hopes of becoming the first female President of the United States. Now, a recording of an interview that Hillary did in the 1980s may destroy her chances. The recording reveals Hillary laughing and joking about the fact that she was able to get a man off of a charge after he was accused of raping a child. Although she doesnt directly claim that the man was guilty, the lab results did determine that the DNA found on the mans underwear was proof of the assault. The man was able to walk free because of a process incident, after the underwear was thrown in the trash by the lab. What do you think? Should Hillarys unethical actions be taken into consideration? 
1	Despite expectations that a group of adults playing the physically demanding Milton Bradley game would degenerate into a sexual free-for-all, University of Louisville graduate student Amanda Corcoran's invite-only Twister party failed to get dirty, a disappointed party attendee reported Saturday. The disappointingly wholesome Twister party. 'When I heard about the Twister theme, I was, like, excellenteveryone climbing all over each other, getting real close,' said partygoer and fellow graduate student Bryan Astbury. 'Turns out, it wasn't so debauched after all. After 20 minutes, everyone just went back to drinking and talking about how the Clintons had to return all that furniture. Total letdown.' 'I guess I just figured 'Twister party' was code for 'naked gropefest,'' Astbury said. 'Why else would you throw a Twister party? Especially an invite-only one, thereby pre-selecting the bodies you want co-mingling.' Though participants were all between the ages of 20 and 30well within their peak years of sexual activitythe physical contortions necessitated by the popular body-contact game for ages three and up failed to whip anyone but Astbury into a libidinous frenzy. 'Amanda has a lot of good-looking friends,' Astbury said. 'I thought, here's my chance to rub up against some of those hotties from the English department. But it didn't really turn out like I imagined.' The first round of spins, sources said, elicited churlish laughter from Astbury, as well as comments such as, 'Watch where you put that hand!' and 'Hey, that's sexual harassment!' The fun, however, remained steadfastly wholesome. 'Tina [Richter] spun a 'right foot blue' and was on top of me in almost a '69' position,' Astbury said. 'It was pretty obvious to me that we were in a sexual position, but she seemed totally oblivious. Then, with her next spin, Tina moved her right foot back over to yellow, and the excitement was over.' Upon receiving his invitation in the mail, Astbury said he imagined a playful progression from light fondling to 'Naked Co-Ed Twister' to an hour of fellatio courtesy of three or four of Corcoran's female friends. But despite such hopes, injuries rather than eroticism became the dominant theme of the evening: On his third turn, Astbury fell backward on the slippery plastic game board and sprained his ankle. 'I never realized how much less limber I am at 27 than I was at 20,' Astbury said. 'I thought the 'falling on each other' aspect of the game would give me a chance to graze Danielle [Simon]'s breasts or at least get a peek down her blouse, but instead I slipped and had to sit on the couch with an ice pack.' Corcoran said she conceived of the Twister party several months ago as a way to kick off spring break, when her graduate-student friends would be eager to 'cut loose' after months of grueling classes. She denied any intention of using the children's game as sexual pretext. 'I thought Twister would be a perfect way for everyone to just laugh and let their hair down a little,' Corcoran said. 'Plus, not everybody knows each other, so it's a good ice-breaker. I just figured people would play one game and then head to the hors d'oeuvres table.' Sandra Haitte, author of the party-resource manual Fun Time, Party Time, said Astbury's expectations of sexual mischief were not entirely unfounded. 'Sexually suggestive party games are a great facilitator for people too boring to have fun on their own,' Haitte said. 'Adding off-color phrases to a game of Pictionary, holding a 'pajama party,' or throwing a sexy Valentine's Day costume partythese are activities that free up dull people to flirt and exchange innuendoes they might otherwise be too fearful or not clever enough to pull off.' Though the party failed to devolve into an orgy, Astbury, who will be on crutches for the next few weeks, said it was not a total loss. 'Don't get me wrong,' Astbury said. 'I'm glad I went. When I told some of my other friends that I sprained my ankle playing Twister with a bunch of women, they were pretty impressed. I just wish I had a little more to brag about.' 
2	Chelsea Clinton Panicking After Being Exposed Literally Stealing From Charity Bill and Hillary Clinton have been in questionable legal standing ever since Bill was in the White House. Now, it appears that their daughter Chelsea is following in their footsteps. Hillary found herself in serious hot water throughout her campaign for her questionable handling of the Clinton Foundationa charity which many suspect is a pay-to-play scheme. Now, Chelseas role in the organization is coming to light, and it looks the apple doesnt fall far from the tree. She was apparently using donation money to fund her own interests. Leaked Clinton emails reveal that Chelsea diverted a significant amount of money from the charity to pay for her own extravagant wedding. Those dollars were supposed to be spent on providing healthcare to people in need throughout the world. In a January 2012 email, Bills former top aide Doug Band referred to Chelseas reckless spending, comments that, The investigation into her getting paid for campaigning, using foundation resources for her wedding and life for a decade, taxes on money from her parents. In an email to John Podesta, Band said, I hope that you will speak to her and end this. Once we go down this road The email also commented on Chelsea telling George W. Bushs daughters about her spending, saying, The Bush kid then told someone else who told an operative within the Republican Party. What do you think? Do the Clintons deserve to be in prison for their criminal behavior? 
2	Zika virus infection through sex reported in US According to recent reports, it is now believed that the Zika virus can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, in addition to mosquitoes. A patient infected in Dallas, Texas is believed to have been infected by sexual contact, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) told reporters at BBC. The person who was diagnosed with Zika had not travelled to areas affected by the disease, but their partner had just returned from Venezuela. Zika, which is carried by mosquitoes, has been linked to many cases of babies being born with underdeveloped brains and unusually small heads. The disease has quickly been spreading through the Americas, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has officially declared the virus a global public health emergency. Just how contagious the disease is is yet to be confirmed, but we do know that the American Red Cross has advised prospective blood donors returning from Mexico, the Caribbean or Central or South America to delay donating their blood for at least 28 days. So far, Brazil has been affected by the outbreak more than any other country. It is currently investigating 3,670 suspected cases of microcephaly in babies linked to the virus. 404 of those cases have already been confirmed, and 709 of them have been discarded. If new reports are true, and Zika can be spread through sex, it will quickly become a risk to every countrynot just those with the Aedes mosquito. Authorities do note that Zika through sexual transmission is rare, but until recently, any case of Zika was uncommon. It is still unknown whether the disease can be spread by the 80% of people that show no symptoms of the virus, or just how long it could live in semen. It is also unclear whether the disease can be spread through men and women alike. Until more information is released, the CDC has recommended that the best way to avoid the infection is to prevent mosquito bites and to avoid exposure to semen from someone who has been exposed to Zika. Zika poses the biggest threat to pregnant women and women with a desire to become pregnant. For others, infections are short and mild.

2	Fox News Anchor Facing 10 Years In Jail After Shocking Scandal Unravels A Fox News anchor is facing some serious consequences after allegedly attacking his wife with a flower pot. According to reports, 51-year-old MundoFox Channel 22 reporter Carlos Zapata recently threw a flower pot at his wife Luisiana Gonzalez on December 3. The incident reportedly caused serious injury, and an LAPD spokesman reports that the pot hit Luisiana in the face full force. Zapata was arrested at 1:40 a.m. on Tuesday, at which point Luisiana told police that her husband had attacked in a previous incident a month prior. The District Attorney then made the decision to charge him with two felony counts. Zapata is now out of jail on a $50,000 bond, and could face up to ten years in jail in charged. He is due back on December 24 for his arraignment. 
2	See How Hillary Clinton Blatantly Insults Jesus Christ Recently, Hillary Clinton met with women from the United Methodist Church, and the statements that have come out of the meeting is shocking. Hillary, who has never been publicly religious, told the group that she adored church as a child and that Jesus taught her about compassion. The disciples come to Jesus and suggest they send away the people to find food to fend for themselves. But Jesus said, No. You feed them, Clinton said, He was teaching a lesson about the responsibility we all share. Not surprisingly, Hillary was twisting Biblical passages to fuel her liberal agenda. What do you think? Are Hillarys comments offensive? 
3	Why Is the Federal Government Planting Microphones in Public?By Derrick Broze Jeff Harp, a former FBI special agent and security analyst for KPIX 5 in San Francisco, recently told KPIX 5 News that FBI agents regularly hide microphones in indiscriminate locations for surveillance purposes. Harp says that between March 2010 and January 2011, FBI agents hid microphones inside light fixtures and at a bus stop outside the Oakland Courthouse without a warrant to record conversations. The FBI is reportedly attempting to catch real estate investors involved in fraud. They put microphones under rocks, they put microphones in trees, they plant microphones in equipment, Harp said. I mean, theres microphones that are planted in places that people dont think about, because thats the intent! As Harp pointed out, An agent cant just go out and grab a recording device and plant it somewhere without authorization from a supervisor or special agent in charge. The decision to plant microphones had to come from high-ranking authorities with the bureau. One of the men accused of fraud is East Bay landlord Michael Marr. Network World reports: In fact, the defense believes the feds committed felonies when they planted the bugs. Also, according to East Bay Express, defense attorneys say government prosecutors moved to withdraw the recordings as evidence so the FBI can cut its losses and sweep its criminal conduct under the rug. As with other surveillance tools like the Stingray cellphone surveillance, once the feds are caught they drop the evidence so they do not have to offer an explanation. If law enforcement is not even willing to legally use these tools and provide valid reasoning to justify the use of invasive tools, what is the point of spending millions of dollars on surveillance equipment? In Marrs case U.S. Justice Department Attorney Kate Patchen claims(pdf) that the FBI received audio only from a microphone hidden in a hedge near the steps next to the Contra Costa County Finance Building. The statement say that a backpack next to a statue inside the Alameda County Courthouse, and microphones at the Fallon bus stop in Oakland and the Escobar bus stop in Martinez, were also secretly recording conversations. Two light boxes at the top and bottom of the steps of the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse in Oakland also contained microphones for recording audio. The FBI does admit to gathering audio and video from cameras hidden in three CC vehicles in three different locations near courthouses in Martinez and Alameda County. This is not the first time the bureau has been caught hiding bugs near the San Mateo County courthouse. In 2015, The Recorder reported that in 2009 and 2010, the FBI hid bugs inside a metal sprinkler control box attached to the wall, and in a vehicle parked on the street. Just last month selfnews Post reported on another example of the federal government covertly installing spying equipment. In our story, Why Is The Federal Government Installing Mysterious Boxes On Utility Poles?, we looked at the case of Phoenix resident Brian Clegg. Clegg was concerned about a box he witnessed being installed on a power pole. Clegg said the box was facing his house and he believed it may have had cameras inside. The pole was owned by Arizonas largest power provider, SRP, who claimed no one had permission to put the box on their pole. Brian Clegg says shortly afterwards SRP sent a crew to remove the box. Shortly after ABC15 investigated the matter, the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives(ATF), a branch of the U.S. Department of Justice,acknowledged installing the box as part of an ongoing investigation. Officials with the ATF would not provide details about their alleged investigation and would not confirm if they were conducting surveillance in the area. Its about time Americans face the fact that we live in a massive surveillance state, panopticon control grid. We must also recognize that no single person, president, or law can undo the interlocking Orwellian machine that hears and sees all. Its up to each of us as empowered individuals to stop supporting these systems and invest in new technologies that protect privacy and allow the free hearts and minds to combat the all pervading eyes and ears of Big Brother.

I need to know why an eastbay landlord was the subject of an FBI investigation, why he was at the courthouse 364 times and recorded and why its a fourth amendment issue when it is a recording in a public space. Blessed are the whistle-blowers for they are the light of justice and blessed are the protectors for they are the shield of wisdom. I would like to know why the first amendment doesnt protect the talkers and why the fourth amendment applies in this case. TheVeryLastCrusade: I would like to know why the first amendment doesnt protect the talkers and why the fourth amendment applies in this case. Its probably because Laws are only as effective as those that are tasked to keep them. I agree, Isiah! It seems there will always be groups. What we need to do is apply behavioral conditioning (money) when correct actions are taken. (And yet, this did not work very well for affirmative action in the 60s. So, who knows!) ) Its been over 35 years, since Ive read the book, 1984 But Im sure that Orwell delt with this subject in the book.Bet that a lot of motel rooms are bugged as well. Dave: Its been over 35 years, since Ive read the book, 1984 But Im sure that Orwell delt with this subject in the book.Bet that a lot of motel rooms are bugged as well. The irony here is not lost in the fact that under the guise of freeing people who were being oppressed by evil regimes that engaged in such actions, many here have been convinced to fight wars to remove said regimes. Who can forget that this kind of action is one of the things that supposedly led people to label the likes of Sadaam Hussein an evil dictator and oppressor of people. Imagine that. 
1	In what observers are calling a 'radically intense' move, President Clinton unveiled a new 'No Fear' foreign policy approach Monday, stating that in the future, nations dealing with the U.S. should 'Bring Your Spine Or Ride The Pine.' President Clinton, sporting a new haircut and neon green Zubaz pants, told reporters, 'There is no crying in foreign policyshut up and negotiate.' 'America is, quite simply, In It To Win It,' a visibly pumped Clinton told the assembled international press. 'While this administration remains committed to maintaining good relations with our allies abroad, that's not going to stand in the way of the fact that It's Not Whether You Win Or Lose, It's How Bad You Beat The Other Team.' Upon finishing his speech, Clinton vaulted over the podium and sprinted to the new Air Force One, a neon orange and purple Chevy Brat sports pickup with Tazmanian Devil mudflaps and an adhesive decal prominently displayed in the rear window, reading, 'Clint Force OneAll The Way With Hell To Pay.' He then sped off to a D.C.-area shopping mall parking lot before his stunned audience could reply. Reports that the pickup had electric light-up neon displays around the license plates could not be confirmed at press time. 'In foreign policy, Second Place Is The First Loser,' the president said in a nationally televised speech on ESPN2 Monday night. Sporting wraparound multi-colored mirrored sunglasses, Clinton added, 'The United States of America Is Agile, Mobile, Hostile, and Completely Fearless. No Fear!' He then grunted, striking a muscle-flexing pose before challenging embattled Russian President Boris Yeltsin to a 'no-holds barred, flat-out motocross mud run,' advising the Russian premier to 'Shut Up and Hit The Dirt.' Another aspect of the new 'No Fear' policy is the requirement that all international treaties and other diplomatic documents be printed in oversized 'distressed-type'-style lettering, and stored for safe keeping in bright green and yellow 'fanny packs.' Further, all U.S. ambassadors will be required to wear 'long-in-back, buzzed-on-top' haircuts and attend formal diplomatic events wearing baggy, weightlifter-style Zubaz pants, preferably neon green or magenta ones, the State Department said. 'I believe that by dressing in such an intense manner, our ambassadors will send a strong 'Don't Mess With The U.S.' message to foreign diplomats,' Clinton said. 'If their diplomats come dressed in B.U.M. Equipment gear, we will come in No Fear. If they wear Generra Hypercolor, we will respond with Big Johnson. The U.S. will not be cowed.' Clinton added that 'the United States government has Been There, Wrecked That.' In addition to dress code changes, in the future, foreign policy strategy meetings will no longer be held at the State Department Building, but instead will take place at 'The Quarry,' an abandoned D.C.-area mining site where government officials convene out of the backs of their trucks 'tailgate-style.' A favorite Clinton administration hangout, the Quarry is where aspiring officials are often called upon to 'prove their stuff' by diving off the uppermost point of 'Panic Peak' into the swimming hole at the Quarry's base, an experience Secretary of Labor Robert Reich describes as '110 percent pure adrenaline overdrive, baby!' 'At 200 mph there is no diplomatic immunity,' Clinton said, reiterating the new American stance. 'If foreign interests mess with the bull they can expect the horns. We have no room for crybabies in the emergent global economy. Bones heal, records don't. Eat my dust!' The president then floored it. Foreign reaction to the new No Fear policy has been mixed. Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo said, 'It is of great concern to Mexico to suddenly be so close to a nation that is sohow do you say?'balls out.' I am afraid.' German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, on the other hand, has already responded with a gift to the president of an original vinyl copy of Boston's self-titled debut LP, originally owned by his older brother. The president is said to be pleased with the gesture, saying that Boston kicks ass. 'Dudes, can you see it? My mustache is coming in,' Clinton said in conclusion. 'What a chick magnet that'll be.' 
3	Toledo Residents Can Now Purchase Neighborhood SkyCop CamerasAmanda Warren It is not a tax, but a voluntary fund to have more than the nearly 200 sets of 360-vision eyes already unleashed in Toledo since October 2012. The units developed by SkyCop will cost between $3,000 and $10,000 initially, plus $100 per month in maintenance, paid for by the purchaser. Sgt. Joe Heffernan says: It will use our equipment. The camera will have a blue flashing light on it and it will feed to our Real Time Crime Center where our officers are monitoring them according to whats going on. Thanks to federal grants and to SkyCop, Toledo houses its own 24/7 real time crime center aka, fusion center. SkyCop boasts many all-weather, 360 surveillance recording, data and intelligence gathering products and even area gunshot detection. Some of the SkyCop product pictures look like this: Even though the Toledo police chief claims that this crime prevention technique has lessened crime, that isnt going to stop more from rolling out. Although, he also claims that one of the benefits of their ubiquity is the desensitizing effect that encourages criminals to forget and drop their guard. Some of the places the portable cameras were stationed at unnerved business owners. Comments from social media indicate that the cameras are received less positively than depicted in most of the news segments imagine that! Commenters have offered less invasive and less expensive solutions such as community policing and better lit areas. A business owner who didnt appreciate a camera pointed at him: WSMV Channel 4 Mayor D. Michael Collins had said I am not going to scrap the project after putting in $2 millionthat would be silly. Toledos funding for the tech came from City of Toledos capital improvement fund, Homeland Security grants and the police departments Law Enforcement Trust Fund. SkyCop encourages law enforcement to get funds from similar grants, but also private funding like Toledo has done. Toledo seems to be the big testing ground for this Memphis-based companys technology do you know of any other cities using it? Recent articles byAmanda Warren Its useful. I wouldnt use it for any biometric tracking database. That would be too invasive to privacy. People have become too stupid to warn of the ploys they have let themselves get pulled into. Look at it this way. So are the police arguing that it has lessened crime and it has not? This sentence is confusing Even though the Toledo police chief claims that this crime prevention technique has lessened crime, that isnt going to stop more from rolling out. I think she is saying that they are contradicting themselves I know what I think she is trying to say, but what she says does not do it. If it was that it had NOT lessened crime.. that would make sense. Since the system itself is relatively new, one could argue that there is no status to back up the case as a crime deterrent. For the argument that criminals become desensitized I think that much of the population under 30 already is desensitized to constant surveillance and to all other invasions of privacy. They dont have to be criminals, and this sky cop doesnt distinguish between criminals and non-criminals. It is following everyone. That is the BIG issue that should be discussed here with the NSA and others trying to create virtually records of every action of everyone on the planet. Just my opinion. The cameras are useless every time there is a so called media induced terrorist attack the camera footage is always locked up from view, Why would someone be dumb enough to pay for one it they cant view the tapes 100% of the time Being a student at Toledo that lives behind the engineering college, I have faith in TPD that these cameras will be used properly. Walking home from class at 7:30-8pm is not the most pleasant thing in the world and seeing these cameras offer some assurance about my safety. 
2	VIDEO: Thug Rapist Enters Courtroom With Smirk, Then Judge Does THIS To Him Kevin Rios recently faced trial for the robbing and rape of a prostitute back in 2006. The young thug approached the majority of the trial with a smirk on his faceuntil the jury declared him guilty of the charges. At that point, the guilty Rios began to cry. I dont know what Id do if that was my sister, he told the court. He continued on to say that he hopes to help others someday, and even revealed that he hopes to one day work with children. Thats a scary thought, considering he is now a convicted rapist. The defendant has affected [the victims] life forever, said prosecutor Coleen Balbet. This crime was a particularly brutal and vicious act. Perhaps the most daunting part of this particular case is that Rios would have gotten away with the 2006 rape, had he not gone on to rape a young babysitter years later. The DNA from that case linked him to the 2006 rape. It is no mystery why the courtroom didnt feel any sympathy for this thug and serial rapist. He has never once taken responsibility for either of his actions, the judge concluded. What do you think? Does Rios deserve more than 12 years in prison? 
3	55 Facts About The Debt And U.S. Government Finances That Every American Voter Should KnowMichael Snyder, Contributor Prior to every election, politicians from both parties swear up and down that they will do something about our exploding debt, but it never happens. Once again this year, our politicians are making all kinds of grand promises about getting U.S. government finances under control. But they are also promising all kinds of new plans and programs which are going to cost a lot more money on top of what we are already spending. For the average American, all of this can be incredibly confusing. That is why I have put together a list of facts about the debt and U.S. government finances below. These are things that every voter should know. The federal government is stealing more than a trillion dollars a year from our children and our grandchildren, and they are spending that money in some of the most foolish ways that you could ever imagine. We have accumulated the largest mountain of debt in the history of the world, but our politicians just cant help themselves they appear to be absolutely addicted to spending money. If we continue on the path that we are currently on, our entire financial system and our entire economy will be destroyed by all of this debt. Time is running out and urgent action is needed to address this crisis. For example, Thomas Jefferson once said the following I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government to the genuine principles of its Constitution; I mean an additional article, taking from the federal government the power of borrowing. Those are very good questions. The following are 55 facts about the debt and U.S. government finances that every American voter should know. #1 While Barack Obama has been president, the U.S. government has spent about 11 dollars for every 7 dollars of revenue that it has actually brought in. #2 During the fiscal year that just ended, the U.S. government took in 2.449 trillion dollars but it spent 3.538 trillion dollars. #3 During fiscal year 2011, over a trillion dollars of government money was spent on 83 different welfare programs, and those numbers do not even include Social Security or Medicare. #4 Over the past four years, welfare spending has increased by 32 percent. In inflation-adjusted dollars, spending on those programs has risen by 378 percent over the past 30 years. At this point, more than 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government. Once again, these figures do not even include Social Security or Medicare. #5 Over the past year, the number of Americans getting a free cell phone from the federal government has grown by 43 percent. Now more than 16 million Americans are enjoying what has come to be known as an Obamaphone. #6 When Barack Obama first entered the White House, about 32 million Americans were on food stamps. Now, nearly 47 million Americans are on food stamps. And this has happened during what Obama refers to as an economic recovery. #7 The U.S. government recently spent 27 million dollars on pottery classes in Morocco. #8 The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently spent $300,000 to encourage Americans to eat caviar at a time when more families than ever are having a really hard time just trying to put any food on the table at all. #9 During 2012, the National Science Foundation spent $516,000 to support the creation of a video game called Prom Week, which apparently simulates all the social interactions of the event. #10 The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave the largest snack food maker in the world (PepsiCo Inc.) a total of 1.3 million dollars in corporate welfare that was used to help build a Greek yogurt factory in New York. #11 The National Science Foundation recently gave researchers at Purdue University $350,000. They used part of that money to help fund a study that discovered that if golfers imagine that a hole is bigger it will help them with their putting. #12 If you can believe it, $10,000 from the federal government was actually used to purchase talking urinal cakes up in Michigan. #13 The National Science Foundation recently gave a whopping $697,177 to a New York City-based theater company to produce a musical about climate change. #14 The National Institutes of Health recently gave $666,905 to a group of researchers that is studying the benefits of watching reruns on television. #15 The National Science Foundation has given 1.2 million dollars to a team of scientists that is spending part of that money on a study that is seeking to determine whether elderly Americans would benefit from playing World of Warcraft or not. #16 The National Institutes of Health recently gave $548,731 to a team of researchers that concluded that those that drink heavily in their thirties also tend to feel more immature. #17 The National Science Foundation recently spent $30,000 on a study to determine if gaydar actually exists. This is the conclusion that the researchers reached at the end of the study. Gaydar is indeed real and its accuracy is driven by sensitivity to individual facial features. #18 Back in 2011, the National Institutes of Health spent $592,527 on a study that sought to figure out once and for all why chimpanzees throw poop. #19 The U.S. government spends more on the military than China, Russia, Japan, India, and the rest of NATO combined. In fact, the United States accounts for 41.0% of all military spending on the planet. China is next with only 8.2%. #20 In a previous article, I noted that close to 500,000 federal employees now make at least $100,000 a year. #21 In 2006, only 12 percent of all federal workers made $100,000 or more per year. Now, approximately 22 percent of all federal workers do. #22 If you can believe it, there are 77,000 federal workers that make more than the governors of their own states do. #23 During 2010, the average federal employee in the Washington D.C. area received total compensation worth more than $126,000. #24 The U.S. Department of Defense had just nine civilians earning $170,000 or more back in 2005. When Barack Obama became president, the U.S. Department of Defense had 214 civilians earning $170,000 or more. By June 2010, the U.S. Department of Defense had 994 civilians earning $170,000 or more. #25 During 2010, compensation for federal employees came to a grand total of approximately 447 billion dollars. #26 If you can believe it, close to 15,000 retired federal employees are currently collecting federal pensions for life worth at least $100,000 annually. That list includes such names as Newt Gingrich, Bob Dole, Trent Lott, Dick Gephardt and Dick Cheney. #27 During 2010, the federal government spent $33,387 on the hair care needs of U.S. Senators. #28 During 2010, U.S. Senators pulled $72,370 out of the Senate Restaurant Fund. #29 During 2010, an average of $4,005,900 of U.S. taxpayer money was spent on personal and office expenses per Senator. #30 In 2013, 3.7 million dollars will be spent to support the lavish lifestyles of former presidents such as George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. #31 During 2011, the federal government spent a total of 1.4 BILLION dollars just on the Obamas. #32 When you combine all federal government spending, all state government spending and all local government spending, it comes to approximately 41 percent of U.S. GDP. But dont worry, all of our politicians insist that this is not socialism. #33 As I have written about previously, less than 30 percent of all Americans lived in a home where at least one person received financial assistance from the federal government back in 1983. Today, that number is sitting at an all-time high of 49 percent. #34 Back in 1990, the federal government accounted for just 32 percent of all health care spending in America. This year, it is being projected that the federal government will account for more than 50 percent of all health care spending in the United States. #35 The number of Americans on Medicaid soared from 34 million in 2000 to 54 million in 2011, and it is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls. #36 In one of my previous articles, I discussed how it is being projected that the number of Americans on Medicare will grow from 50.7 million in 2012 to 73.2 million in 2025. #37 If you can believe it, Medicare is facing unfunded liabilities of more than 38 trillion dollars over the next 75 years. That comes to approximately $328,404 for each and every household in the United States. #38 In the United States today, more than 61 million Americans receive some form of Social Security benefits. By 2035, that number is projected to soar to a whopping 91 million. #39 Overall, the Social Security system is facing a 134 trillion dollar shortfall over the next 75 years. #40 When Barack Obama first took office, the U.S. national debt was about 10.6 trillion dollars. Now it is about 16.2 trillion dollars. That is an increase of 5.6 trillion dollars in less than 4 years. #41 The federal government has now run a budget deficit of more than a trillion dollars for four years in a row. #42 If right this moment you went out and started spending one dollar every single second,it would take youmore than 31,000 years to spendone trillion dollars. #43 If you were alive when Jesus Christ was born and you spent one million dollars every single day since that point, you still would not have spent one trillion dollars by now. #44 Some suggest that taxing the rich is the answer. Well, if Bill Gates gave every single penny of his entire fortune to the U.S. government, it would only cover the U.S. budget deficit for 15 days. #45 If the federal government used GAAP accounting standards like publicly traded corporations do, the real federal budget deficit for 2011 would have been 5 trillion dollars instead of 1.3 trillion dollars. #46 The United States already has more government debt per capita than Greece, Portugal, Italy, Ireland or Spain does. #47 At this point, the United States government is responsible for more than a third of all the government debt in the entire world. #48 The amount of U.S. government debt held by foreigners is about 5 times larger than it was just a decade ago. #49 Between 2007 and 2010, U.S. GDP grew by only 4.26%, but the U.S. national debt soared by 61% during that same time period. #50 The U.S. national debt is now more than 37 times larger than it was when Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard. #51 The U.S. national debt is now more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was first created. #52 The U.S. national debt jumped more on the very first day of fiscal year 2013 than it did from 1776 to 1941 combined. #53 Historically, the interest rate on 10 year U.S. Treasuries has averaged 6.68 percent. If the average interest rate on U.S. government debt rose to that level today, the U.S. government would find itself spending more than a trillion dollars per year just on interest on the national debt. #54 A recently revised IMF policy paper entitled An Analysis of U.S. Fiscal and Generational Imbalances: Who Will Pay and How? projects that U.S. government debt will rise to about 400 percent of GDP by the year 2050. #55 Boston University economist Laurence Kotlikoff is warning that the U.S. government is facing a gigantic tsunami of unfunded liabilities in the coming years that we are counting on our children and our grandchildren to pay. Kotlikoff speaks of a fiscal gap which he defines as the present value difference between projected future spending and revenue. His calculations have led him to the conclusion that the federal government is facing a fiscal gap of 222 trillion dollars in the years ahead.

2	Liberal Media Is Eating Carson Alive After Seeing These THREE Religious Pictures In His Home The media has been all over Ben Carson this week. Today they chose their next battle against him. Pictures surfaced from inside Carsons home. Many of them pictured Jesus Christ. Many liberals are outraged that Carson would have a portrait on himself and Jesus next to each other. The Guardian (@guardian) November 7, 2015 Social Media has been split over what they think of this picture. Here is an inside look of some other decoration Carson has around his house. 
1	Luke Donald, the newly-minted world's No. 1 golfer, found himself on the receiving end of non-stop phone calls, aggressive come-ons, and outright groping from hordes of sexually deranged women less than an hour after the world golf rankings were announced Monday. 'Everyone knows that the world's top-ranked golfer is one of the most sought-after men on the planet, but I had no idea it would be like this...I've hardly been able to sleep,' Donald said at a press conference Thursday which was periodically interrupted by throngs of flushed, panting women breaking through PGA security cordons and once by a female reporter screaming 'Take me now!' and removing all her clothing. 'I'd heard rumors of what those Bunker Betties will do you you, but Wow. Just wow. You wouldn't even believe me if I told you.' Meanwhile, former No. 1 Lee Westwood declined to comment on the matter and was last seen dejectedly phoning his wife to desperately beg her to let him come home again.

3	Obama: Nobody is listening to your phone calls. But What About Your Dishwasher?Daniel Taylor Whew. We can all take a deep breath of relief now. Obama says no one is watching. Or are they? The fact is, a much wider system of surveillance is being built. It goes well beyond monitoring phone calls and e-mails. The computer on which you are reading this, your washing machine, coffee maker, and other devices will be wired in the near future. They will be transmitting data to the internet of things. According to CIA chief David Petraeus these technologies will have a monumental impact on clandestine tradecraft. With this surveillance grid in place, David Petraeus says that, Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters all connected to the next-generation Internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing South Korea has served as a testing ground for this type of technology. The city of New Songdo was used because, according to those involved, There is an historical expectation of less privacy. If you want to unplug from this grid, the United Kingdoms Ministry of Defense says that eventually, Even amongst those who make an explicit life-style choice to remain detached, choosing to be disconnected may be considered suspicious behaviour. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Opponents of Dakota Access Pipeline Call For National Direct Action CampaignBy Derrick Broze Since early August activists, protesters, protectors, and members of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation have been opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline project. The opposition has come in the form of protests, rallies, prayers, Internet campaigns, petitions, and direct action. The opponents of the pipeline say that the project will put the Missouri River and other bodies of water at risk, as well as disturb important cultural sites. TheDAPL, alternatively known as the Bakken Pipeline,is owned by Dallas, Texas based corporation Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., which created the subsidiary Dakota Access LLC. The pipelinewill stretch 1,172 miles upon completion and transport crude oil from the Bakken fields of North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois.The projectis set to cross the Missouri River not far from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota. The Sacred Stone and Red Warrior Camps were formed in opposition to the DAPL. The press release from the Red Warrior Camp calledfor all allies to stand Water is a necessity for all life. Water is life. Now is the time for all people from all walks of life to join together to stop the desecration and destruction of water, land and life! Please join our Indigenous led movement to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline by planning or joining an action near you! The pipeline companies behind the DAPL include: The Red Warrior Camp also notes that Enbridge Energy Partners is closing a deal for28% stake in the project and Marathon Petroleum Corp is seekinga 9% stake. These pipeline companies have received a $2.5 billion loan from a collection of banks that includesCitigroup, TD Securities and Mizuho Bank. But the pipeline companies can only access $1.1 billion of this loan until certain progress is made on the pipeline project, the Red Warrior Camp writes. So we are calling on these lenders to cut off this line of credit to the pipeline companies and to stop funding the DAPL. For more information on targets for the week of action, or to join an action visitNoDaplSolidarity.org. There are also peaceful rallies for Friday September 2nd in Dallas and Houston, Texas. Dallas is the headquarters of Energy Transfer Partners and Houston has a field office. (More details on Dallas and Houston) As the protectors prepare for direct action the courts are also deciding what to do next. On Wednesday August 24, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C. decided to delay a decision on whether or not to issue an injunction that would further halt construction on the pipeline. The Bismarck Tribune reported that Boasberg told the court he needed more time to look at the issues at hand. While supporters at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation held prayer and ceremony to prepare for the courts decision, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the D.C. court. The Standing Rock Sioux claim that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers violated theNational Historic Preservation Act bynot properly consulting them before approving the project. Earthjustice is representing the tribe in their lawsuit against the Corps of Engineers. The construction and operation of the pipeline, as authorized by the Corps, threatens the Tribes environmental and economic well-being, and would damage and destroy sites of great historic, religious, and cultural significance to the tribe, the lawsuit states. Judge Boasberg said he will make a decision by September 9, with an appeal hearing possible on September 14. According to the Sacred Stone Camp website: On April 1st, 2016, tribal citizens of the Standing Rock Lakota Nation and ally Lakota, Nakota, Dakota citizens, under the group name Chante tinsa kinanzi Po founded a Spirit Camp along the proposed route of the bakken oil pipeline, Dakota Access.This Spirit Camp is called Iya Wakhagapi Oth, translated as Sacred Rock, the original name of the Cannonball area. The Spirit Camp is dedicated to stopping and raising awareness the Dakota Access pipeline, the dangers associated with pipeline spills and the necessity to protect the water resources of the Missouri river. We reject the appropriation of the name Dakota in a project that is in violation of aboriginal and treaty lands. The word Dakota means the People in the Dakota/Lakota/Nakota language and was never intended to be used in a project which violates traditional ceremonial areas. The movement against the Dakota Access Pipeline has mass support and is in this fight for the long haul. The fight has also helped unite tribal nations and Americans of European origin in a larger battle against the violations of liberties perpetuated by the U.S. government. Its time to put aside petty differences and begin uniting our disparate movements into a larger coalition of interests and common ground. Only as a people united in defense of liberty and all life can we achieve true lasting change. Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

I therefore encourage him to notify these red terrorists (who now openly threaten school children) that their failed culture has been obsolete and irrelevant for well over 100 years now. They are NOT insisting on a path of extinction and their way of life is not failed or outdated. Their culture and people were killed by white people committing genocide. The racism against Native Americans is disgusting, Ive seen it myself. Terrorists? Assimilated? You are despicable.

2	This Country Becomes The First To Outlaw Islam The African nation of Angola has officially become the first country to ban Islam. The nations president recently declared that the move was the final end of Islamic influence in [the] country. President Jose Eduardo also ordered that any mosques in the country be demolished. According to Eduardo, Islam runs contradictory to the customs of Angola culture. The predominant religion in Angola is Christianity, but there are currently around 90,000 Muslims living in the country. Many are either immigrants from West Africa or refugees from the Middle East. Eduardos decision was in opposition to the many Middle Eastern countries that are currently persecuting Christians. In fact, in 2012, a Saudi Muslim leader issued an order to destroy all Christian churches on the Arabian Peninsula. What do you think of Angolas move to ban Islam? 
1	Insisting that inhabitants of the Southeast Asian country cant possibly eat like this every day, local mother Courtney Meisner confirmed Tuesday that she does not understand why Thai people need all their food to be so spicy. Why do they have to make it so strong and peppery? Theres too many spices, a flushed Meisner said during lunch at the Lemongrass Thai Grill, reaching for her glass of water to wash down a spoonful of tom yum goong. Honestly, how can they stand this? Theres no way their children eat this spicy food, Ill tell you that much. Unable to finish more than a few bites of her penang curry entre, Meisner went on to state that Thai people really ought to put all the spices on the side so you can just put in however much you want. 
1	Surveying the eight gas pumps from his post behind the counter at the Walker Avenue Shell station, local clerk Marvin Peters told reporters he was especially pleased to see pump 2 performing so well among customers Thursday. Pump 2 definitely gets short shrift because its not the easiest to pull into and doesnt have a window wash station, so its always nice when 2 pulls in the numbers it really deserves, said Peters, noting that he had been happy to see the trusty old fueling site really take off with several sedans and even a couple gas-guzzling vans a few hours into his morning shift. You expect pump 4 or 8 to get this level of traffic, sure. And obviously nothing is ever going to measure up to pump 5clearly 5 is the most popular pump, and thats never going to change. But good ol 2? Well, it has a little something special. Its nice to see an underdog get its due every once in a while. After taking one more fond glimpse at the pump, Peters then reportedly shook his head and chuckled warmly to himself as he watched some naive young fellow hauling a boat attempt to snake his way into pump 6. 
2	Michelle Obama During Justice Scalias Funeral When a Supreme Court Justice has died in the past, the current President has always made it a priority to attend the funeral. That is not the case with the Obamas. In 2005, when Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist died, George W. Bush went to the funeral. He did not stop there, however. He also showed his respect by delivering the eulogy. Contrastingly, the Obamas barely gave Scalia a few minutes of their day. The only actions they took was to stand in front of Scalias casket and then moving a portrait of him. They left the building shortly after the two minute process was complete. But thats not all. During the moment of silence for Scalia, Michelle Obama was distractingly looking around the roomlooking bored out of her mind. What do you think? Are the Obamas absolutely tasteless? 
2	Head Of Shariah Law Releases Command To Muslims To Do Something UNSPEAKABLE To Christian Churches According to recent reports, Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abudallah, has just ordered that the Saudi government demolish all Christian churches. Reports indicate that the top Muslim cleric ordered the destruction of churches in the Arabian Peninsula after the legislators in Gulf State of Kuwait moved to pass laws banning the construction of religious sites associated with Christianity. Abdullah is considered one of the highest officials of religious law in the Sunni Muslim kingdom. He also serves as the head of the Supreme Council of Ulema and the Standing Committee for Scientific Research. Abdullah claimed that the destruction of churches was absolutely necessary and is required by Islamic law. The reports follow an announcement by Osama Al-Munawer, a Kuwaiti member of parliament, calling for the removal of all new churches in the country. According to his statement, old churches would be tolerated. What do you think of the new orders? 
1	Though coaches for both the United States and Japanese Little League teams attempted to inspire their young squads before Sunday's championship game by evoking the memories of those who fought and died for their respective countries in World War II, the coaches' descriptive tales of conflict, suffering, and mass death left players almost incapable of taking the field. 'Yeah, Japan carried out a sneak attack on an American territory and killed 2,000 people, but So? Why is that important now? Why should I keep suicidal kamikaze aircraft in mind during the game?' said U.S. pitcher Kendall Scott, visibly shaken by coach Mickey Lay's speech. 'And yes, then we dropped an atom bomb on 210,000 Japanese men, women, and children, but II just don't I mean, why even bring that up?' Players from the Japanese team were equally traumatized when manager Youichi Kubo explained that many in his family perished in the atomic flames of Hiroshima, and that it was almost certainly their dying wish for him to win a Little League World Series. 
1	Scandal rocked the Green Party Monday when it was revealed that a high-ranking Nader 2000 official embezzled $10 in campaign funds for a dime bag of marijuana. According to police, prior to a Sept. 29 rally in Burlington, finance director Jim 'Patches' Lowell, 49, removed $10 from the Green Party cashbox and redirected the funds toward the purchase of approximately two joints' worth of marijuana from Pete Cudahy, a local hacky-sack vendor and part-time drug dealer. Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader has promised a full internal investigation of the misallocation of funds, saying that he has made it clear to party officials in the past that 'the cashbox money is not for weed.' 
3	Thanks for the Super Genes - Weeds Receive Transgenic Material From GMOsGMOs and wild weeds become friends with benefits A lot of GMO talk surrounds the rapidly growing appearance of superweeds due to herbicide resistance. Did you too suspect that genetically modified plants were also transferring their genetic material to these weeds? In addition to resistance from repeated use of herbicides, some Hulked out weeds now have an even greater genetic survival advantage by taking on transgenic material from GMOs. Naturereports: That would mean the weed form could potentially take its new-found benefits into the wild and spread them. Of course, this type of glyphosate pesticide (Roundup) resistance spread through cross pollination hasnt been studied much until recently. Thats because biotech giants who own patents on the technology arent willing to let academic researchers poke around. In a study published in New Phytologist, Lu and team replicated the situation by actually genetically modifying the rice to over produce its EPSP synthase and then cross-pollinated it with the weedy rice. Then, the cross-bred offspring bred with each other. This generation would be all the same except some would have more EPSP synthase producing genes. Guess which ones produced more seeds? Like Roundup Ready type crops, much of the newly transgenic weedy rice had greater EPSPS protein levels among other GM traits like glyphosate resistance. More photosynthesis, flowers, surviving shoots and could produce up to 125% more seeds than their non-mutated counterparts. They had genetic advantages even without any use of glyphosate. Weedy rice, or red rice, usually produces very few grains which is why it is considered a weed and an invasive pest. Additionally, UK plant geneticist Brian Ford-Lloyd says: Will the real rice please stand up? And withstand? This rare, breakthrough study is a black eye for the already failing and unwanted GM Golden Rice trials with all their questionable good intentions arguments but globalists are forcing it on people anyway.

2	She Thought She Had Popcorn In Her Teeth, But What She Actually Pulled Out Changed Her Life For The Better Last week, Georgia woman Ashley Smith felt something odd in her mouth. She had been eating popcorn, so she thought a kernel had become stuck in her teeth. She reached in to pull it out. But what she found instead of a popcorn kernel was unexpected, and something totally differenta piece of a bullet! See, 15 years earlier, a 3-month pregnant Ashley was hanging out in the backyard of her grandmothers house. A neighbor from down the street brought over his new pistol, which he believed to be unloaded. He pulled the trigger, and the gun fired unexpectedly. Thats when Ashleys life changed forever. The bullet struck smith and passed through her mouth and head. She survived miraculously, because the bullet did not touch her brain. But it left remnants of bullet in her head. She suffered from many side effects, though, including a brain aneurysm and several brain and ear surgeries. She lost sight in one of her eyes and received a prosthetic. The child she was bearing was starved of oxygen through the event and was born with many complications. The bullet remained in her head, causing her pain for years. Until the other day, it simply popped out. I reached in there and tried to pulled it out. About the second or third time it landed in my mouth. I coughed and it landed on the bathroom floor, she said. She is now free of most of the pain! She is also the mother of three kids, and thanks God every day that the bullet did not take her life. 
3	Report From Iron Mountain: Peace Would Be All HellRand Clifford Sixty-four years later, neocon think-tank warriors bristling with the bravery of being out of range are realizing their dreams of perpetual war; fruition of their world-conquest manifesto, Project for the New American Century (1). For humanity its all translating into a nightmare with no waking up. If we step back from mainstream-media sweet talk about freedom and liberty, democracy, government of, by and for the People, human rights, humanitarian interventionswe might better see the roots of perpetual war. Mainstream corporate media calls what is essentially perception management, news. Regarding HOW: The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken (2) Hobgoblins come in many varieties. Among the most enduring are inanimate menaces such as communism, socialism, environmentalism, Islam, other nations weapons of mass destruction; and theres Cuba, Serbia, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Russia, North Korea, Venezuelaessentially, any nation not yet under Washingtons thumb. So many people actually swallowed Osamas second death that, after profound amnesia kicks in as usual, we may kill him again, and againkeep surfing the amnesia waves until the new wears off. Stay tuned to Fox News (if we do kill bin Laden again, it will be Foxs third announcement of his demise). Third times a charmor is Osama bin Laden a bad cat living to the nines? My apologies if this seems over the top, butplease consider that, officially, 19 Arab boys with box cutters executed the heinous surprise attacks of 9/11. Its stoned into history now, right down to a hijackers passport fluttering unscathed to the sidewalk for officials to snatch up. 9/11 is evidence that if the PR, branding and packaging are just right, and fear is cultivated properly, virtually anything is salable to the American public. The hobgoblin mill runs at capacity 24/7, scaring us into apathetically surrendering citizens rights earned over centuries with bravery and blood. Ever more docile, ignorant, disinformed, xenophobic, acceptive of fascismwe have hands bloodier by the day from being party to an expanding palette of war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Acquiescence to neocon barbarity has left our handseven our souls?with stains that might never wear off. George W. Bush, 43rd President of the United States, told us at every opportunity that They hate us for our freedoms and democracy. Well, perhaps they hate us more for our handiwork (and soulsor lack thereof) than anything else? Unelected and unaccountable neocon foreign-policy prophets that inspire our ruling 1% are dogs of war wagging the deadliest machine the world has ever seen. Neocons are a gnarly bunch, war on their breath, Satan in their eyes, hearts full of Zion. A tiny tribe of Israeli-American think-tank psychopaths sometimes known as, The Crazies, The Bombers, The Vulcans. Royal neocon Richard Perle justly deserves his moniker, The Prince of Darkness. And regarding the ruling 1%: Is it simple coincidence that 1% of the population are born psychopaths, with brain abnormalities detectable via magnetic resonance imaging? 9/11 was a pageant of reality-defying coincidences, enough to span eternity, all packed into one sunny and Satanic late-summer morning. Many of the 1% profited enormouslystill profit enormously and will until enough scat hits the fan. Do you think anyone above our 99% were among 9/11s fatalities? We 99% are tolerated by the 1%, used, abused, mocked, hustled toward oblivion. Report from Iron Mountain They were called the Special Study Group. Fifteen anonymous men, experts of diverse disciplines; social and natural sciences, humanities, law, business, communications theory, systems analysis, international relations, war planning. The Group was commissioned to study what might happen if we find ourselves in a state of peaceand to suggest how we should prepare to deal with no more war. They began their work in August of 1963. And after producing The Report thirty months later, they insisted that it not be released for publication. Public discussion of The Reports conclusions and recommendations threatened to provoke, as they said, clear and predictable danger of a crisis in public confidence. The U.S. News and World Report claimed in their November 20, 1967 issue, that an unnamed government official told them President Johnson hit the roof after reading The Report, and ordered that it be suppressed for all time. The same government official also confirmed the Reports authenticity. Apparently, a member of The Group leaked The Reportleading to Dial Press publishing The Report From Iron Mountain (4), also in 1967. The book made the New York Times bestseller list, has been widely translated. The government declared it a hoax, did all they could to suppress The Report. Then in 1972, Leonard Lewin (5) claimed that he was the author, and that The Report from Iron Mountain was a spoof. The Guinness Book of World Records lists The Report from Iron Mountain as the Most Successful Literary Hoax. TopTenz.net (6) lists it as number five on its list of most controversial books. So what was in there that made LBJ hit the roof, and order The Report suppressed for all time? The Reports first paragraph of SECTION 7 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS, under the subheading THE NATURE OF WAR, reads: War is not, as is widely assumed, primarily an instrument of policy utilized by nations to extend or defend their expressed political values or their economic interests. On the contrary, it is itself the principal basis of organization on which all modern societies are constructed. The common proximate cause of war is the apparent interference of one nation with the aspirations of another. But at the root of all ostensible differences of national interest lie the dynamic requirements of the war system itself for periodic armed conflict. Readiness for war characterizes contemporary social systems more broadly than their economic and political structures, which it subsumes. They are leading up to saying that before consideration of a peace scenario, it must be recognized that war is the foundation of our social systems. The nature of the war system, and the functions it performs for society must be explicitly understood, and replacements for those crucial functions must be ready before any abandonment of the war system is contemplated; before peace could ever work. The Report breaks the functions of war down into five categories; economic, political, sociological, ecological, cultural and scientific. Economically, war has throughout history stabilized and provided a system for controlling national economies. Politically, war, and the permanent possibility of war have been basic to stable government while propagating acceptance of political authority, maintaining necessary class distinctions, and subordinating citizens to the state. The Report claims that without sustaining credible threats of war, no modern rulers have been able to maintain proper control. Sociologically, war, and presence of military institutions have throughout history helped control social dissidence and antisocial behaviors while promoting binding social allegiance and social cohesion. Ecologically, war has been indispensable for balancing population with available supply of food and other essentials. Culturally and Scientifically, war culture has shaped values in the creative arts, as well as motivating advances in science and technology. Essentially, The Report insists that without war, modern civilization would fall apartunless substitutes can be devised to replace the functions of war summarized above. Topping the list of general criteria these substitutes must meet are: political acceptability; technical feasibility; public credibility. The Report breaks down into the same five categories certain characteristics of any acceptable surrogate for the war system. Economic Expenditures of resources for completely nonproductive purposes must be at a level similar to that achieved by war, must remain independent of the existing supply-and-demand economy, and must be under arbitrary political control. Political A generalized external menace must be maintained to promote acceptance of political authority. Sociological Institutions must be developed to maintain public fear of personal destruction the war system provides; fear that promotes adherence to societal values, and acceptance of the transcendence of such values over individual lives. Ecological Population control must be maintained to keep humans from threatening the species by reproducing beyond the carrying capacity of Earths biosphere. Cultural and Scientific Establishment of a basis for sociomoral conflict as powerful as war provides is important for determination of cultural values. Also, there must be a sense of internal necessity to motivate the quest for scientific knowledge. Under SUBSTITUTES FOR THE FUNCTIONS OF WAR: MODELS, The Report effectively, if obliquely, fleshes out fundamentals of WHY we have perpetual war. Shining in these proposed substitute institutions for replacing the nonmilitary functions of war are reflections of the kinds of minds behind the war system being the very foundation of civilization. In terms of economics, the three suggested war surrogates are: A comprehensive social-welfare program, directed toward maximum improvement of human life. A giant open-end space research program, aimed at unreachable targets. A permanent, ritualized, ultra-elaborate disarmament inspection system, and variants of such a system. Four suggestions in the political arena: An omnipresent, virtually omnipotent international police force. An established and recognized extraterrestrial menace. Massive global environmental pollution. Fictitious alternate enemies. The section of sociological surrogates has six entries, two under CONTROL FUNCTION: Programs generally derived from the Peace Corps model. A modern, sophisticated form of slavery. And under MOTIVATIONAL FUNCTION: Intensified environmental pollution. New religions or other mythologies. Socially oriented blood games. Combination forms. The only ecological listing: A comprehensive program of applied eugenics. No replacements are suggested in the cultural arena. The listing related to science: The secondary requirements of the space research, social welfare, and/or eugenics programs. The Group rounds out the SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS section of The Report with the caveat: The models listed above reflect only the beginning of the quest for substitute institutions for the functions of war. The entire text of The Report from Iron Mountain is available online (7). If it didnt ring so true, The Report might be easier to suppress. Another factor is the governments relationship to the truth. Not only is there overwhelming evidence that the relationship is, at best, adversarial, evidence of the government telling the truth seems hyper-rare. Realistically, shouldnt the government calling The Report a hoax be considered solid evidence of The Reports authenticity? With neocons stroking so many levers of power, the governments relationship to peace is a no-brainer. Besides, if peace didnt scare the governments pants off, why were they so terrified of John Lennon? Seems certain that, through black-op back doors, American taxpayers paid dearly to get rid of Lennon. Similarly, concerning how government feels about truth, an inescapable example is the taxpayer-funded circus engulfing Julian Assange. Maybe perplexing, maybe notour own apathy could be a greater public menace than government of, by and for the 1%. Regardless of how far our nation is from being a democracy, or even a functional republic, the following seems apropos: In 1787, Alexander Tyler of the University of Edinborough wrote that all democracies go through eight stages, two hundred years being the average cycle time. The stages are: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back to bondage. As deeply as we have sunk into apathy, dependence is breathing down our necks. And the New World Order sounds like a euphemism for bondage. Speaking of aproposwhile Winston Smith is referring to their proletariat in 1984 (proles), our 99% sure seems a tidy fit regarding this this entry in his diary: Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious. Next time you hear the word peace squeak from between the lips of someone lying for your vote, remember The Crazies, The Vulcans, The Bombers, The Prince of Darkness. And dont forget The Report from Iron Mountain.

2	Residents Of Florida Are Furious About These Illegal Immigrant Benefits Residents of Florida have been expressing outrage about a bill that was recently signed by Governor Rick Scott, allowing children whose parents are illegal immigrants to attend a university or college in the statealmost entirely free of cost. According to the new bill, students will be able to receive free in-state tuition if they attended three out of four of their high school years at a public school in Florida. According to Scott, the bill will help to keep the tuition low. He also claims that he wants every student in Florida to have access to affordable education (regardless of whether they are legal or not). While some do not doubt that Scotts intentions were pure in signing the bill, he has set off a vicious cycle. Now, the people of Florida are claiming that American citizens do not get free education, and illegal immigrants should not either. They also question who will be paying for the free education. What do you think of the new bill? Is it wrong? 
1	Comedian Rick Moranis offered apologies but not excuses Monday, saying his last-place finish in last weekend's Aces Go All-In For Children Texas Hold-'Em Poker Tournament at the Luxor Hotel & Casino was due to his inability to stay calm during the high-stakes game, a condition reflected by his almost-constantly spinning bow tie. 'It's not that I wasn't getting good cards,' said the 53-year-old comic and country-and-western novelty-song writer, who was playing at a table alongside singer Meat Loaf, actors John C. Reilly and Brad Garrett, and former quarterback Dan Fouts while representing his own Honey, I Drastically Shrunk The Odds Of The Kids Contracting Childhood Leukemia Foundation. 'My cards were no better or worse than anyone else's. But every time they were worth betting, that bow tie would start going again.' Scrutiny of videotapes made of the mere 36 hands in which Moranis took part before losing his entire $50,000 stack of chips reveals bow-tie-rotation incidents on nine viewings of his pocket cards, including three instances of paired face cards; 11 incidents of bow-tie rotation on Moranis' inspection of favorable 'flop' or community cards; and two especially strong bow-tie rotationsone of which blew Moranis' lucky beanie straight up in the air, where it rotated independently for several secondswhich occurred when the former SCTV star realized he had built strong inside straights. On each hand, Moranis' opponents folded immediately after Moranis' bow tie began spinning. 'It was devastating, really,' said professional Internet and tournament poker player Chris Moneymaker, a special guest of the tournament. 'Every celebrity player has 'tells' that clue you in to their handKathy Griffin always talks about how her face cards look gay if she has them, Dennis Miller cracks wise about the Lincoln-Douglas debates when he's holding crap, and Lars Ulrich sits up really straight and glares intensely at the dealer when he likes his hand. But poor Rickevery time he drew good cards, it was, like, 'Fwee!'' 'Later, when he finally thought to take it off, he kept nervously looking at his watch before check-bets,' Moneymaker added. 'That caused him to dump his drink out into his lap, which didn't help.' For his last dozen hands, Moranis adopted a strategy of playing 'high and tight,' or betting aggressively even on non-favorable, non-tie-activating hands. However, the stress of doing so made Moranis perspire to such a degree that miniature windshield wipers were needed to sluice the moisture off Moranis' eyeglasses, which in turn clued his opponents that seeing and raising his bets would most likely be to their advantage. Further eroding his confidence and concentration, the normal necktie Moranis futilely chose to wear for the second half of the tournament repeatedly stood straight out from his collar with a hollow 'diving board' sound every time consolation-round opponent Eva Longoria leaned over to collect her winnings. 'Face itsometimes it just isn't your day,' Moranis later told reporters, admitting he was 'probably a better comedian than a poker player' and vowing to return for next year's event. 'And this certainly wasn't mine. At times like this, all you can do is stand up from the table with pride as your shirt rolls up like a window blind and walk away with your dignity intact and your pants bunched defiantly around your ankles.' 
3	A Morning of Empire TV Will Numb Your MindPhilip A. Farruggio I started out with Imus, quite appropriately, on the Bloomberg business channel. After all, Donny baby has been a shill for the super rich and famous for decades. His right wing crew of phony blue collar rebels , with the ghosts of Rudy, Rudy USA, USA! echoing in the background is enough to give any rational person agita. Then I surfed to MSNBC and got a taste of Joe Scarborough and his neurotic side kick, the daughter of Mr. Grand Chessboard Brzezinski (Google it) acting like two pseudo centrist regular Americans. I am sure that Joe earns enough to qualify for the 1%. A bigger waste of time, as usual, is to surf over to Fox Cable (News?) channel and watch the three yuppie fools toe the Republican Party propaganda hook line and sinker. Of course, if you stay tuned to MSNBC for 24/7 youll get their counterparts, the Democratic Party minions. Finally, I surfed over to CNN and caught this so-called journalist, Soledad Obrien (imagine carrying the name of a prison where the 60s radical movements flourished while being so pro empire?). Her little roundtable of yuppie pundits welcomed this morning the great lefty liberal economist Paul Krugman (who was on the payroll of Enron before their collapse look it up). Krugman has a new book out entitled End This Depression. Perhaps someday soon the general public will wake up to the truth. Television is great for watching films and sports events. Other than that, it is mostly made up of liars, hypocrites and shills for the empire. This empire, sadly, only works for the benefit of even less than what the Occupy movement distinguishes as the 1%. Actually, the empire only reflects the wants and needs of perhaps of the one percent of us. Yet, many of us who make up the 99+ % support or act as apologists for these greedy corrupt and power hungry folks. Isnt it time for the majority of us to get together and stand for economic fairness and an end to this imperialist empire? History reveals that all imperialist empires have eroded from within, and not just from outside their borders. We need to speak with the voice of the 99% and demand an end to our foreign interventions, bases and overkill spending on weapons of war. We have enough now to destroy the entire world 100 times over! Whether you respect Ron Paul or Ralph Nader they both agree on the aforementioned statement by this writer. Do you? When will you?

1	One of the 'perks' of being a member of the Mass Media is that there are all sorts of freebies here in the Press-Only area of The Con. A qualified professional with exclusive access can get all the daily trades he desires at no cost whatsoever. Talk about 'FREE-dom of the Press!' Unfortunately, they don't have any of the good publications, like 'Bird Talk' or 'Extreme Sudoku.' A lot of these 'pubs' they have for free I've never even heard of before, like this one: Must be a local paper from the Northwest Minnesota Mountains. The first thing I notice is the cover illustration. They obviously don't like Mr. McCain if they have the Grand Old Nominee all decked out in a cave-man outfit! ??? I'm all for Freedom of Opinion, but that's going a little 'extreme.' Also, speaking objectively as a reader, it's unclear as to what that Ship has to do with anythingand same for the tattoo. In the end, it's just not a very good illustration. All of which inevitably brings the reading public to the next query: Why didn't they hire an experienced Political Cartoonist for this task, someone who knows a thing or two about the art form of making political statements with line drawings? For the record, I'm not above helping out in this area. I've got a commitment to my own paper, but occasionally time allows me to create original political art for other publications as well. Editors: don't be intimidated by my long years in this business! I want you to feel comfortable approaching me. Perhaps we could go out to dinner and discuss a project you have on the horizon, make a night of it. I know a few spotswe could become more than just work colleagues, we could become friends. I could call you on the weekends, check and see if there are any new illustration assignments worth discussing over at your home while we grill on the barbeque or mix cocktails at the wet bar. Again, I want you to feel comfortable. My calendar has a few openings so just give me a call. See Kelly's Editorial Cartoons Here 
2	Firefighters Fired For Hanging American Flag Reinstated, Boss Who Fired Them Not So Lucky... The group of firefighters that were asked to take down the American flag and remove patriotic stickers from their helmets have reportedly been reinstated, after being accused of being racist. The controversy began when Maywood Fire Chief Craig Bronaugh issued a directive to his department to remove all stickers and other displays from their lockers and helmets. Bronaugh explained to reporters that he made the decision because of a photograph of a smoking monkey that could be viewed by some as racist. However, no complaints about the monkey had been lodged at the time. According to a local station, that complaint would not have been possible, because the picture that was being referred to was removed from lockers years ago. The firefighter, now a lieutenant, did not understand why anyone would have taken a photograph of the picture in his locker, and held on to it to launch years later. Now, Bronaugh is facing charges of creating a hostile work environment, and some are calling for his termination. While he has only been chief for two years, Bronaugh has worked in the department for nearly twenty. 
2	American Conservatives Fight Back Against Beyonce If Beyonce was aiming to please viewers with her Super Bowl 50 performance, she failed miserably. Her anti-officer performance was quickly criticized for being aggressive and tasteless. During the performance, Beyonce performed her new Black Lives Matter anthem Formation. The racially-fueled song was accompanied by an army of dancers dressed as Black Panthers. It is clear that the superstar thought her song would become an anthem for the movement, but instead it sparked outrage. Fans took to Twitter to express their discust, and many even called for a boycott of her album, using the #BoycottBeyonce hashtag. @Beyonce is a racist and we wont stand for it #boycottbeyonce, @talltexanrealty tweeted. Im ashamed shes from Houston the greatest city in the world. But her troubles dont end there. According to reports, an anti-Beyonce protest has been scheduled to take place outside the NFL headquarters on February 16. Are you offended as an American that Beyonce pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Superbowl? the event page asks. Do you agree that it was a slap in the face to law enforcement? Come and lets stand together. Lets tell the NFL we dont want hate speech and racism at the Superbowl ever again! Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with the boycott? 
2	POLL: Should We Be Able To Fly The American Flag Wherever We Want Whenever We Want? Under the Obama Administration, weve seen an escalation of the contempt of anyone who shows their patriotism by flying the American flag. It seems like Ole Glory has been demonized, with liberals painting it as a symbol of oppression. That is a very sad thing, considering how much blood has been spilled defending our country and the freedom that we utilize every single day. We should have the right to fly this symbol boldly and proudly. Anyone who wants to silence those who support our country or our men and women in uniform should be punished. Were sick of hearing stories of Veterans being penalized. What do you think? Should Americans be able to fly the flag freely? 
1	The hip, underground fast-food chain McDonald's is being assailed with cries of 'sell-out' from its rabid fan base, which has expressed anger and disillusionment over a merchandising deal signed recently between the restaurant and the Disney Corporation. A sign at a Lexington, KY, McDonald's advertises <I>Hercules </I>cups for sale, a promotion which has hurt the alternative fast-food chain's street credibility among fans. For years one of the most respected and influential members of the nation's underground fast-food scene, McDonald's earlier this summer began selling 'collectors cups' from the Disney film Hercules for 99 cents with any food purchase. 'God, I can't believe they would do something like this, man,' said 25-year-old Ted Dolgan of Durham, NC. 'I've been eating there since, like, '82, back before they even had McNuggets. They'd never have done something like this back then.' 'Obviously, it's all just a money thing to them now,' said Stacey Opperman, 20, a Minneapolis-area college student. 'What about integrity?' Frederick Regis, McDonald's director of community relations, expressed regret over the negative fan reaction, but said that in today's fiercely competitive fast-food market they simply could no longer afford to remain viably independent. 'Movie merchandising, 'instant-win peel-offs,' NBA tie-ins, these kinds of things are, unfortunately, necessary if you want to survive these days,' said Regis, who left the Washington, D.C.-based independent punk label Dischord Records before joining the fast-food chain in 1992. 'It was either start doing corporate promotional tie-ins or die. It's sad, really.' Added Regis: 'Sure, there are a lot of purists out there decrying this as a sell-out. But believe me, nothing will change. McDonald's is still 100 percent committed to serving the same cutting-edge 'burgers with attitude' its fans have come to expect. Our street cred will remain rock-solid, let me assure you.' Ever since making waves in the fast-food underground with the seminal, groundbreaking McRib sandwich in the late '80s, McDonald's has grown steadily, today boasting a rabidly devoted following numbering in the thousands. The chain has proven hugely influential, spawning the so-called 'McDonaldland Scene' of the mid-'90s and shaping the menus of dozens of fast-food outlets. Perhaps no chain has been more influenced by the famed 'McDonald's Taste' than its chief rival, Burger King. 'Burger King has always been just a lame McDonald's cover chain,' said Sean Grady, 22, a longtime McDonald's fan. 'When McDonald's released the Filet O' Fish, Burger King came out with the Whaler. When McDonald's came out with the Happy Meal in '81, Burger King ripped them off with the BK Kids' Club Happy Pak. It's like, McDonald's is Nirvana, and Burger King is totally Bush.' Long praised by its cult following for rebellious, anti-authority slogans like 'You Deserve A Break Today' and 'We Do It All For You,' and for its steadfast refusal to compromise its burger-making to win a mass audience, McDonald's was something independent franchisers and customers regarded as a 'family.' 'This used to be my McDonald's,' said Jared Gildon, 16, of Austin, TX. 'But now I just don't know.' 'I remember back in '93, '94that was when I got into them, they were doing really cool, hardcore shit like the McLean Deluxe,' said Stacey Orton, 17. 'It was a way-cool scene. Now it's all just poseurs who just want to eat McDonald's 'cause it's the 'in' place to be.' Added Orton: 'I'm totally into Arby's now. They've got the dopest horseradish.' Said Marc Jaworski, editor of College Fast-Food Journal, 'McDonald's was the only true independent left. Who else? Wendy's? Taco Bell? All those other chains sold out years ago. Either that or they were driven out by the mainstream, like Burger Chef was. Burger Chef put out some tasty burgers back in the '60s and '70s, too. Totally experimental, underground stuff tooonion rings, the works. Now they're long gone.' 'How can McDonald's seriously expect to get the customers in there to buy their food if they're going to have big cross-marketing schemes with Disney and the NBA?' Jaworski said. 'No one will take them seriously as a restaurant anymore.' 'What about the shakes?' Jeff Webber, 22, of Stockton, CA, said. 'It used to be all about the shakes. But now it's all about one thing: c-a-s-h.' 
1	Area resident Brian Whitford had 'the best friggin' time' writing his will, the 29-year-old disclosed Monday. 'That was so awesome, dividing up my DVDs and shit,' said Whitford upon completion of the bequest portion. 'I even got to give [former college roommate Steve] Krollner a big 'fuck you' by leaving him nothing but that one Phish CD I used to play all the time that he hated.' Whitford, who left most of his possessions to members of his family, bequeathed girlfriend Cindy Meijer his prized collection of vintage 1977 McDonaldland glasses. 
2	BREAKING: Trump Engulfed In MASSIVE Rape Scandal The campaign is getting ugly. The countless allegations of sexual misbehavior and assault of Hillary Clintons husband have resurfaced. Now, something from Trumps past is coming back to haunt him. Years back, in a $125 million lawsuit, a woman accused Trump of trying to rape her. Now, Jill Harth has come forward to say that she would vote from Donald Trump as president. I saw him recently, and he said I looked good, Harth told reporters. I have nothing but good things to say about Donald. Harth originally filed the lawsuit in 1997, when her then-husband George Houraney was engaged in a legal battle with Trump over a beauty pageant. Trump denied all of the charges against him in the court action, and argued that the matter was tied directly to an attempt to get him to settle in the pageant case. The lawsuit, which asserted that Trump made unwelcome sexual advances and fordicbly attempted to have sex with her in a bedroom at a Mar-A-Lago resort, was dropped shortly after being filed. Now, Harth has acknowledged that the allegations she made in her filing had been made under duress and that shed been pressured to file. The allegations were twisted and embellished, she told reporters. Everything could be looked at in a different way. Unfortunately, Jill was a pawn in a lawsuit that was created by her ex-husband, attorney Michael Cohen told reporters. You will see the case was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. There is no truth to it. Unfortunately, Jill was a pawn in a lawsuit that was created by her ex-husband. There is no validation to the matter and to write something about this nonsensical speculation, when both parties acknowledge there is no validity to the claim, would be unprofessional. What do you think? Do you support Trump?

3	Are They Arming for Riots Across America? Homeland Stockpiling Less Lethal Specialty MunitionsMac Slavo Thanks to coverage on prominent sites like DrudgeReport, the story reached into mainstream media, prompting official spin and downplaying of the purchase. Now, a new Homeland Security purchase order listed on FedBizOpps also raises an eyebrow or two, given the heated and divided political and social climate at hand. Just look at what happened in Ferguson A request for less lethal specialty munitions for use by Homeland Security dated March 23, 2015 reads: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to solicit responses to Request for Information (RFI) 20082225-JTC for Less Lethal Specialty Munitions (LLSM) for use by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CBP is interested in incorporating commercial and industry practices that support this type of procurement. To accomplish this, CBP intends to make industry a partner in all facets of the acquisition process, specifically by considering existing market capabilities, strengths and weaknesses for the acquisition of this commodity. On top of a wide range of gas and chemical grenades, rubber bullets and other riot rounds, the purchase calls for controlled noise and light distraction devices, including flash bangs which set off a 175 dB sound with 6 8 million candelas light bursts in 10 milliseconds. So why are the Feds prepping to take on crowds? Officially, the request is put through Customs and Border Patrol, a subset of the Department of Homeland Security, but it is unlikely that the equipment will be used to protect the border and keep out illegal aliens. But the riot gear and crowd control devices have many potential uses. Perhaps, the equipment for use in instances like last year, when protesters in Murrieta confronted Customs and Border Patrol agents and blocked buses carrying a wave of illegal immigrants from Central America? The requested equipment includes: Hand Delivered Pyrotechnic Canisters, including Non-Pyrotechnic Indoor/Outdoor Use Hand Delivered Rubber Ball Grenades 40mm Launched Specialty Impact Munitions Crowd Management Projectile Cartridges Controlled Noise And Light Distraction Devices Ferret Rounds The ferret rounds are designed to penetrate barriers and deliver debilitating or disrupting chemicals: The projectile shall be designed to penetrate barriers of glass, particle board, and interior walls. Upon impact of the barrier, the nose cone will rupture and instantaneously deliver the OC liquid on the other side of the barrier. The collection of equipment provides a diverse range of toys with which authorities could push back crowds and potentially intimidate free speech as well. Are there more riots coming? Is widespread civil unrest only a matter of time? Is it related to martial law exercises like Jade Helm 15? What do the Feds know that we dont? They are getting ready are you?

2	Marine Who Escaped From ISIS Prison Says Obamas Strategy Is Bullsh**t Everybody seems to have an opinion about ISIS, but few are as powerful as that of someone who was taken prisoner first-hand. Sergeant Major Hamody Jasim is one of the rare few who can offer that perspective. Jasim served in the Iraqi military, and was able to connect reporters with Master Sergeant Karam Saad, who he served with during the Iraq War. Jasim was able to make it out in 2008, thanks in large part to the assistance he received from U.S. Intelligence operations. Saad was forced to stay behind, and ISIS took him prisoner just six years later. Saad later shared his story with the Independent Journal, writing about the day he was capture: It was June 10th 2014, and I needed to get some intelligence to Baghdad. At the time, I was keeping a low profile in Mosul, my hometown, which ISIS had just captured and still runs today. They were killing people, taking them prisoner, they were very thorough. As I was switching from my uncles house to my aunts around 11pm at night, ISIS caught me. They had a roster of people in the Iraqi military, and asked if I was still loyal to Iraq He then detailed what it was like to be taken to the prison: I was taught by some of the best U.S. Marine Corps instructors in the world, so I am trained to handle very tough situations. ISIS would use electrical wires on my back. They would tie a bag off around my neck and fill it All they give you to eat is one piece of bread and one apple a day. But youre so scared to eat it, because you dont know if they poisoned it or not. Finally, Saad then gave the public a chilling preview of what it was like to be in the hands of these radical terrorists. They tortured the sh** out of the Christians and some died in the process. They would take some and lock them in a kind of casket, and set it on fire from the inside. I only spent three nights in prison. During that time, I paid attention to how many guards were on duty and any signs of weaker security. So I stole a spoon and turned it into a knife, with the intention to kill one of the guards. I asked him to take me to the bathroom. But as I was making my way there, I noticed another guard who had been left behind was armed with a gun, so killing was out of the question. Finally, he commented on how the Obama administration has been handling things: In the future, I feel that the Republicans will be more effective to battle ISIS than the Democrats will. Since 1991, the Republicans have been better allies than Democrats. The Democrats have a stupid strategy. I had spent a long time on the battlefield with the Republicans politics and weve had way more victories in the fight. Under the Obama administration, America is not taking this fight seriously. 
1	After years of refusing to provide information about the country's underground activities, Iranian president Mohammad Khatami surprised the world Monday by announcing that the nation has decided to ban events of mass destruction. 'Opening the doors to seismic reform is the first step toward ensuring a safer future for the people of Iran,' Khatami announced on Al-Jazeera. 'We will voluntarily make moves to ban further production of devastating seismic waves like those experienced during the earthquake in Bam.' Even Iranian political and religious hardliner Ayatollah Hashemi Janati lauded the decision, stating that it 'will eliminate the need to stretch our hands out for the charity of our warmongering American oppressors.' 
3	Appeals Court to Hear Arguments in NSA Spying Caseselfnews Post An appeals court will hear oral arguments in Smith v. Obama, a case filed by an Idaho nurse against a controversial National Security Agency (NSA) telephone data collection program, in Seattle on Monday, Dec. 8. Anna Smith, a neonatal nurse from Coeur dAlene, filed her lawsuit against President Barack Obama and several U.S. intelligence agencies in June 2013, shortly after the government confirmed that the NSA was collecting telephone records on a massive scale under Section 215 of the Patriot Act. Smith, a Verizon customer, argues the program violated her Fourth Amendment rights by amassing a wealth of detail about her familial, political, professional, religious, and intimate associations. Following a district court ruling against Smith, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho joined the case as co-counsel in July 2014 to assist in crafting the appeal. Anna Smiths husband, Peter Smith of Lukins Annis, P.S., who filed the case and argued on Annas behalf to the trial court, will present oral arguments before a panel of three judges (Hon. Michael Daly Hawkins, Hon. M. Margaret McKeown, and Hon. Richard C. Tallman) at the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. EFF presented appellate oral arguments in a similar case, Klayman v. Obama, last month. On Dec. 18, EFF will present arguments in San Francisco in Jewel v. NSA, asking the court to find that the NSAs mass copying of Internet communications violates the Fourth Amendment. EFFs other challenge to NSA surveillance, First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles v. NSA, remains pending before a trial judge. What: Oral Argument in Smith v. Obama Who: Peter Smith, counsel for Anna Smith Date: Monday, Dec. 8, 2014 Time: 9:00 am PT (Smith is third on the calendar) Where: William K. Nakamura Courthouse 
1	X-Files fans from all over the Cleveland area flocked to the downtown Concourse Hotel this weekend to attend 'Relating To Others X-ceptionally,' a traveling friendship skills seminar and encounter session targeted specifically at the program's socially inept fan base. A group of <I>X-Files</I> fans relax outside a Cleveland hotel during a break in last weekend's 'Relating To Others X-ceptionally' friendship skills seminar. The two-day self-esteem workshop paired <I>X-Files</I> stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson (inset) with award-winning therapist Dr. Ellyn W. Rosenblum. 'The truth is out there,' X-Files star David Duchovny told the predominantly male, all-white crowd. 'But friendship, real friendshipnot the imaginary kindis within yourselves.' More than 400 people paid $150 each to attend the two-day seminar, which teamed Duchovny and X-Files co-star Gillian Anderson with award-winning therapist Dr. Ellyn W. Rosenblum. 'Having David and Gillian at the seminar has really helped get people excited about improving their friendship skills,' said Rosenblum, author of the best-selling Go For It!: 30 Days to a More Outgoing You. 'The response has been tremendous.' In addition to the thrill of meeting the stars of their favorite paranormal investigative TV show in person, seminar attendees also received important advice about engaging in social relations with others, even with those who are not X-Files characters. 'Sometimes, you can achieve the same sort of close, deeply involved relationship that you have with the characters we play on X-Files, but with another, living, non-fictional person, who actually lives in the real world,' Anderson said. Continued Anderson: 'Agent Scully does not believe in spaceships. But she most definitely does believe in friendships.' Response from seminar attendees was overwhelmingly positive. 'Scully is a very skeptical FBI agent, and I was skeptical about this seminar at first,' said Chris Froman, 23, reachable at www.xfiles.cancerman.com. 'But just as Mulder can convince Scully that anything's possible, I have also been convinced that friendship is a goal I might someday reach.' Added fan Frank 'The Doctor' Hugh: 'Scully is sexy, but I like Lois Lane. Isn't Teri Hatcher hot?' For at least one fan, the seminar led to an important 'letting-go' of false dreams. Cleveland Heights resident Maria Renquist, 27, broke down in tears when she and Duchovny shared an 'honesty moment,' mediated by Dr. Rosenblum, in which the actor told her kindly but firmly that he was not attracted to her, and never would be. 'I learned a lot today,' Renquist said, 'like how Mulder is a fictional character and stuff.' According to Rosenblum, much credit for the event's success lies in its simulation of the attendees' imaginary fan-lives in a seminar setting. 'X-Files fans divide themselves into two categories,' Rosenblum said. 'There are the 'Shippers' (short for 'relationshippers'), who are those who want Mulder and Scully to become romantically involved, and 'Non-Shippers,' who feel that a sexual relationship between the two characters, while vicariously fulfilling, would ruin the show's chemistry.' 'In my seminar,' Rosenblum said, 'fans are divided into the same two categories, with 'Shippers' being the ones who desperately crave a relationship in real life, and 'Non-Shippers' being those who have given up hope of ever having a relationship with another person.' 'The slogan of X-Files is 'Trust No One,'' Duchovny told the crowd in his closing remarks. 'But I want you to learn to trust each other, and let social relationshipsjust like the ones you've seen on TVmaterialize in your own lives. The friends are out there.' 
2	When Liberals Told Her To Take Down Her Flag, She Gave Them A Piece Of Her Mind 86-year-old Julia Lease had been flying her American Flag, Old Betsy, for nearly 36 years when she was ordered to take it down by the condo association. According to owners, the display violated a rule that no items are to be hung from residents roofs. Ms. Lease has proudly made the decision that her flag is worth fighting for. She is just one of many Americans defending their right to publicly support their nation. According to the American Flag Act of 2005, Ms. Lease and others like her are actually protected to fly flags on their residential property. The law states that A condominium association, cooperative association, or residential real estate management association may not adopt or enforce any policy, or enter into any agreement, that would restrict of prevent an association member from displaying the U.S. flag on residential property. Despite that law, Ms. Lease finds herself fighting for her rights. What do you think? Should Americans be punished for being patriotic? 
1	Thinking quickly to devise a list of reasons why the area was not an ideal choice, local billing clerk Tim Connors, 33, managed to skillfully downplay the desirability of his neighborhood to a coworker who expressed an interest in potentially moving there, sources confirmed Wednesday. You know, it was pretty nice when I moved in a few years ago, but its actually kind of gone downhill a bit, said Connor, who mentioned the neighborhoods lack of easy access to a grocery store as well as the long commute to work each morning as serious things to consider before his colleague started looking at apartments in the area. Honestly, its okay, if you dont mind limited restaurant choices and all the noisy construction. Its fine for me right now, but if I could afford to I would probably move somewhere else. Connors added that if his coworker wanted to explore the neighborhood, he should definitely check out the main square, which he noted had a great little coffee shop and only a few muggings each month. 
2	Obama Reveals Plans To Confiscate All Guns From Americans Last week, the nation was devastated by yet another school shootingthis time at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. The incident claimed the lives of ten students, and injured several others. Within hours of the tragic event, President Obama was already nationally broadcasting his personal agenda, attempting to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights. Obama claimed that we should follow the lead of Australia and Great Britain, who banned firearm possession in the 1990s. We know that other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings, he told the American public. Friends of ours, allies of oursGreat Britain, Australia, countries like ours. So we know there are ways to prevent it. Of course, Obama is completely ignoring the attack on Christians. 
2	HELL NO Gowdy Erupts During Hearing On DOJs Immunity Agreement, Refuses To Accept That... According to recent reports, a heated exchange broke out between lawmakers after a key witness failed to appear at the House Oversight Committee hearing on Hillary Clintons emails, despite a subpoena to do so. Where is the criminal liability? Rep. Trey Gowdy demanded of Rep. Stephen Lynch on Tuesday. The two have gone head-to-head about the Fifth Amendment immunity that was granted to former State Department IT specialist Brian Pagliano. Pagliano spoke to the FBI under immunity during the agencys investigations. He then ignored a subpoena to appear as a witness at the Congressional hearing which promoted Gowdy to question Lynch about the details of the immunity agreement. Congress cant prosecute anyone and the one entity who can has granted him immunity, Gowdy said. What we have done is put him under threat of criminal prosecution. It puts him in jeopardy coming before this committee while that criminal referral is in existence. Hes an American citizen. I know the Constitution gets in the way of this committee sometimes. Gowdy did not back down, however, insisting that he is tired of excuses. I want to read the agreement between the Department of Justice and this witness and whether or not that agreement requires the witness to cooperate with other entities of government, Gowdy argued. That is commonplace! For them to say you can tell us the truth but you cant tell Congress makes no sense! Thats all I want. That document, among others, were subpoenaed by not produced. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Arbys Refuses To Serve Police Officer For This SICKENING Reason, You Will Be Furious According to recent reports, Arbys CEO has come forward with an apology after one of the franchise locations refused to serve a Florida police officer on Tuesday. When Pembroke Pines Sgt. Jennifer Martin attempted to order at a drive-thru, she was told that 19-year-old Kevin Davenport did not want to serve her because she was a police officer. I explained to Mirabal (the manger) that this made me extremely uncomfortable and now wasnt certain I wanted to dine at the restaurant, Martin told reporters. Mirabel assured me everything was OK and handed me my food. Mirabal even laughed and said he is allowed to refuse to serve me. I am offended and appalled that an individual within our community would treat a police officer in such a manner, Pembroke Pines Police Chief Dan Guistino told reporters of the incident. It is unacceptable. We take this isolated matter very seriously as we respect and support police officers in our local communities, the fast food chain claimed in a statement. Our CEO spoke with the Police Chief who expressed his gratitude for our quick action and indicates the case is closed. We will be following up with our team members to be sure that our policy of inclusion is understood and inhered to. What do you think? Are you sick of police officers and law enforcement in our country being treated so poorly? 
1	Jon Blevins, an Indiana University junior studying in Seville, has spent nearly all of his semester abroad drinking with other American college students. Blevins (center) drinks at a Seville cafe with a pair of exotic new friends from the University of Miami. 'Seville is incredible,' said Blevins, 19, finishing off a Cruzcampo beer at Capote Bar. 'There are all these amazing cathedrals and statues and art museums. Hopefully, at some point, I'll get a chance to see some of it.' Dividing his time among classes, the Universidad de Sevilla's American dorms, and the handful of bars and clubs frequented by American students, Blevins said the opportunity to gain firsthand exposure to people from other cultures was what drew him to the ancient Andalusian city. 'I've met people from all over: a guy from Penn State, these two Sig Ep brothers from the University of Oregon, and some really cool people from Clemson,' said Blevins, a political-science major who is taking eight credits at the Universidad de Sevilla. 'And I was worried I wouldn't fit in.' Added Blevins: 'The program I'm in is actually done through Florida State, so I've also met a lot of FSU chicks, who are really hot.' Blevins, who said Seville is 'in the Moor part of Spain,' has not visited such landmarks as the Catedral, the largest Gothic edifice ever constructed, or the Museo Provincial des Bellas Artes, a museum in a former convent which houses works by Murillo, Ribera, and El Greco. He has, however, made three trips to the American Club, 'this great bar near campus where they've got Dave Matthews on the jukebox and Sam Adams on tap.' The famed <i>Catedral</i>, one of the many Seville attractions Blevins has not seen. Before leaving for Spain on Jan. 6, Blevins was concerned that his inability to speak Spanish would make negotiating the country difficult. Blevins' worries, however, were quickly assuaged. 'You can totally get by without knowing Spanish in Seville,' Blevins said. 'It's a really international city, and most of the locals speak English. Plus, a few days after I got there, I hooked up with these guys from Emory University on my dorm floor who all knew Spanish. So I was pretty much set.' Blevins said he looks forward to gaining a taste of authentic Sevillian culture during the upcoming Semana Santa festival, an annual Holy Week celebration renowned for its religious significance and throngs of drunken tourists. 'That's gonna be seriously off the hook,' Blevins said. 'We're talking non-stop Cuervo.' Though he has spent a majority of his time in Seville, Blevins has made sure not to limit his cultural exposure to that city alone. 'A bunch of us from the dorm took a weekend trip to Cordoba, which isn't too far away,' Blevins said. 'It wound up being pretty similar to Seville, with all these orange trees and churches and stuff, but it was still pretty cool. Me and Pete and Chris, these two Ohio State guys I went with, met up with a bunch of their friends from school who happened to be there on winter break. They'd just come from Barcelona and told us all about the scene there. Then we all went to Granada and checked out this nightclub opened by this other guy they all knew. It was cool: They had pretty good paella there, but otherwise it was pretty much just like any bar back in Bloomington.' In spite of the challenges and difficulties that studying in a foreign land has presented, Blevins said he 'wouldn't have missed it for anything.' 'Sure, it's weird taking classes from someone who barely speaks English,' Blevins said. 'And you wouldn't believe what a Jack and Coke costs in Seville. But I've had some really unique experiences. I'll never forget it.' Added Blevins: 'Last weekend, I even met a guy from my hometown. Just goes to show you what a small world it really is.' 
1	Attempting to reduce the negative publicity generated by their candidates recent attacks on each others wives, top campaign advisors reportedly instructed Republican presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in private meetings Monday to stick to just attacking all women in general, sources confirmed. Using derogatory language and treating women as mere objects is fine, just as long as you make sure youre making a blanket statement about the entire female population and not a specific candidates wife, okay? said Cruzs senior communications advisor, Jason Miller, repeating nearly verbatim the advice Trumps aides reportedly gave the GOP frontrunner earlier in the day during a strategy session. The publics not as receptive to you attacking Melania directly, so just keep your statements broader when denying women their individual agency and insinuating they have no identity apart from their connection to men and itll continue to go over great. Lets stick with whats been working. Advisors from both campaigns assured their candidates they could be as specific as they wanted when making sexist remarks about Hillary Clinton, however. 
1	University Of Maryland senior Dan Klein said Friday that his unpaid internship at Beacon Press Publishing was the 'best experience of [his] life.' He predicted that the long hours he spent filing, photocopying, and answering phones would eventually ensure him a position at the company when he graduates next spring Klein, with his 'friends and mentors' at Beacon Press. But the Monday morning after his last week in the office, nobody on the 17-person staff had any recollection of who Dan Klein was or what exactly he did there. 'We had an intern, of course, but I believe the name was Greg or Craig,' said editor-in-chief Lynn Thaden, who walked by a smiling Klein every morning, and who had promised on two separate occasions to write him a 'glowing' letter of recommendation. 'He or she was getting ready for graduate studies.' Klein, who said he planned to 'jump right in' to the publishing field after graduating, worked at Beacon from early May until the end of August. Though only academically bound to a two-day work-week, he chose to take out extra loans and work full-time so he could put his 'heart and soul' into the 'tremendous opportunity.' 'I think Dan was the one who ordered me the wrong dry-erase board,' said managing editor Michael Breen, who didnt seem to recall that he and Klein spoke briefly in the breakroom about how they went to rival high schools. 'Is that who that Good Luck card was for?' Breen added. 'To work here at Beacon, in a field I have always dreamed about getting into, and to have such a natural rapport with everyone, was amazing,' said Klein, who, according to staff members, was either an Asian male who always ate turkey sandwiches, or an AfricanAmerican female who was 'really interested in helping the poor or something.' Even receptionist Tracy Wigfield, with whom Klein had once had an extended, heartfelt conversation about the importance of family, couldnt recall anyone named Dan Klein ever having come through the offices front door. 'The summer is a tough time around here,' Wigfield said. 'People are always in and out of the office, and with Memorial Day and our two-week summer break, its almost impossible to tell the difference between interns and delivery people.' 'Sean? Sean. No. Peter?' Wigfield added. Klein said he came into the office on holidays to sort mail, delete unimportant voicemail messages, and work on the long-requested database of Beacon authors and vendors from 1896 to the present. 'Those are the types of things you have to do if you want to get recognized,' said Klein, who, according to the Beacon editorial staff, is either going back to Notre Dame, Purdue, or East Boston High School. 'And it felt good to do something for those folks. Theyre hard workers, and I know they appreciated what little I could do to help.' Klein said he planned to keep in touch with the Beacon staff throughout his senior year, saying that not only did he make important contacts for his career, but he has new lifelong friends. 'Oh, yeah, the guy who knew computers,' editor Mary Ferrell said. 'Is he in today?' 
1	Struggling actress Heather Pryor, 24, announced Monday that Vagisil is her number-one choice for fighting feminine itch. Struggling actress Heather Pryor, seen here collecting lilies, says her brand of choice in fighting feminine itch is Vagisil. 'Whether I'm experiencing discomfort caused by vaginal dryness, burning or just mild irritation, Vagisil is the brand I can trust,' Pryor, who moved to Los Angeles in 1996 to pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a professional actress, told reporters. 'Vagisilit's fast, effective relief from feminine itching.' Pryor, a 1995 Indiana University graduate with a bachelor's degree in theater, said Vagisil was developed by top gynecologists with a woman's special needs in mind. 'Unlike many competing brands, Vagisil is made by people who understand my needs as a woman,' Pryor said during her 30-second pro-Vagisil address, which will air shortly after 8 p.m. EST Saturday during a Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman rerun. 'Its powerful anti-itch ingredients start to work instantly, but Vagisil also contains moisturizers that protect a woman's sensitive skin from redness and chafing,' Pryor added. 'I like that.' Drawing upon skills honed during years of acting lessons, the woman who hopes to be 'the next Meryl Streep' noted that Vagisil contains the strongest medicine of its kind available without a prescription. 'Vagisil is so effective because the soothing, cooling cream works directly on delicate skin to restore comfortfast,' said Pryor, who starred in stage productions of A Doll's House, The Three Sisters, and Oleanna while at Indiana. 'No other topical anti-inflammatory ointment works better.' Since moving to Los Angeles, Pryor has been active in numerous causes. In May 1996, she embarked on a campaign to raise awareness of Odor Eaters, praising the shoe inserts as 'your foot's best friend.' Last year, she adopted a strong pro-Pamprin stance, and she has also been highly outspoken in her support of BedMart, which she called 'the bedding store where the people make the difference.' For now, however, Pryor's focus remains on raising Vagisil awareness. 'Try Vagisil,' she said Monday in a nationally televised appeal to the American people. 'Or try Vagisil yeast-itch-control suppositories: Their gentle, effective formula helps eliminate vaginal discharge as it controls odor.' 
1	Saying that he doesnt want to use the same phrasing yet again in his latest article, Associated Press journalist Marcus Lambert, who has been stationed in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of this months most recent outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian violence, told reporters Wednesday that he is having trouble finding another term for blood-soaked. Im trying to find a way to describe the scene after todays airstrikes, but Ive used blood-soaked two times already, Lambert said while writing his latest update, adding that he had also used up the phrases blood-drenched, bloodstained, and saturated with blood in the same dispatch. Blood-spattered is close, but its not quite right. The problem is that there are only so many expressions to describe this kind of thing. And you cant just say a whole lot of blood or more blood than ever beforethats not AP style. Maybe I could describe the blast site as crimsoned? Man, this is a tough one. At press time, following heavy shelling of Gazas Bani Suhaila region, Lambert was also intently seeking synonyms for bombed-out, wailing, and orphan. 
1	Announcing that it would no longer allow Americans to fall behind, the Federal Communications Commission introduced a plan Monday to levy steep fines on anyone failing to keep up with the nation's TV shows. 'Our economy lost more than $200 billion in productivity this year with people taking time out of their day to explain what happened last night on Mad Men,' FCC chairman Julius Genachowski said. 'Staying abreast of popular culture is the responsibility of every citizen. Unless we're talking about a show like Weeds, which, frankly, hasn't been that good since season two.' The agency confirmed penalties would be reduced for citizens who agree to issue a minimum of three Facebook posts stating their intention to finally catch up on True Blood this weekend. 
3	Look Whats Happening to Gold Priced in OTHER CurrenciesBy David Smith Around the world, the price of gold and silver is most commonly quoted in U.S. dollars. As Americans, we tend to think this is the pricing gold standard. But its easy to forget that foreign investors generally pay for a purchase in their countrys dominant currency. Yes, there are realms whose domestic monetary unit is actually the U.S. dollar. These locales have what is known as a dollarized economy. But many, if not most, transact predominantly in their own currency. In Argentina and Mexico, for example, its the peso. In Great Britain, its the Pound sterling. In most of Europe, its the euro. In Russia, the ruble. In China, the yuan. If the currency in question trades reasonably close to that of the dollar, there may not be a major difference. For example, on the day gold traded at US $1,229, a troy ounce was priced at about 1,102 euros (). Just a few years ago, our Northern friends had a much easier go of it, when their currency, known affectionately as the Loonie, held for several months in the $1.10 area. Today, the Loonie is only worth around $0.72 cents. Nowadays, the purchase of a troy ounce of gold will set Canadian investors back a cool C$1,678. Consider that if a Canadian had bought gold in 2012, when his/her currency was worth US $1.05, they would have paid about C$1,540 per ounce, when an American was paying $1,600. Not bad, being able to purchase silver and gold at a 5% discount, eh? Lets say that gold once again trades at US$1,600, and at that time, if the Canadian dollar is still stuck around $0.72, the hapless Canadian buyer will have to shell out C$2,080 for the same ounce. Before Zimbabwes epic inflationary spiral virtually destroyed its currency, the Zimbabwean dollar, it traded believe it or not at around US $1.27. In June, 2006, this worthless paper promise (a phrase which appears to have been coined some years ago by David Morgan at http://www.themorganreport.com/) was replaced by the Second Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWN) at a rate of 1,000:1. Then a third and fourth dollar were introduced. By the time it had declined to 10 x 25 ZWD (first dollars) that form of the currency was finally abandoned. The polite way of speaking about this abandonment is that it was demonetized. The reality for Zimbabweans, is that they had been financially wiped out. Interestingly, during this hyperinflationary phase one of the worst on record people panned for tiny flecks of gold in local, muddy streams in an attempt to earn enough money to buy food. Those who were old or infirm and who could not somehow pay younger people to pan for them in effect faced starvation. Imagine how different it would have been for these same people, had they held just one ounce of gold, or a tube of 20 one-ounce silver bullion rounds! As a sidebar, gold in most other currencies has been looking very bullish on their charts for much of the last two years. Could the fact that were accustomed to viewing the gold price in dollar terms (which made it look like a declining asset) account for the fact that so many people including several well-known analysts of whom this writer is aware missed the boat when the metals made what looks to be a major turn to the upside in late January? A United Kingdom or European Union citizen will pay, in addition to the spot price and a premium, a Value-Added-Tax (VAT) in the case of silver bullion bars and coins, but not gold bullion up to 20% of the purchase price. This means that, in addition to recouping the going premium and dealing with any $USD currency differentials, UK and EU customers must see silver rise a further 20% on certain silver purchases, in order to just break even. These three countries, in addition to experiencing a weakening exchange rate vis a vis the dollar, have been facing internal problems, such as high debt ratios, weakening economies, and capital flight, causing additional hammer blows to the value of the money they might have considered exchanging for gold and silver. In late 2015, Argentina, long referred to disparagingly as the place where money goes to die finally elected a President who may be able to institute a sea-change in the way his country does business if so, to the long-term benefit of just about all concerned. When this writer visited Buenos Aires in 2007, the peso was trading at 2.5:1 US dollars. In the spring of 2015, it was officially 10:1, but on the blue dollar street market, pesos could be had for 20:1. The restaurant where we ate would not accept credit cards (due to the uncertainty of what the exchange rate might be when charges were redeemed by the eatery). Not surprisingly, only cash was accepted. Of course this also encourages tax evasion, but could you blame them? Just another reason why an unstable currency breeds social discord and unethical conduct, in addition to robbing the holder of his/her purchasing power. This year, one of the first actions that President Mauricio Macri took was to allow the peso to float whereupon it immediately sank 25%. (Here again, holders of precious metals would have completely side-stepped this event their purchasing power left intact. Venezuelas inflation rate is running at over 700% (unreported for the last few months, for obvious reasons). A few years ago, North Korea devalued its currency by 95% overnight. Yes, gold is up $100 an ounce from its recent lows. Silver is up $1.40. For profit considerations, look at where it was in 2011, and where its likely to go when, not if it breaks above those nominal high prices. For insurance considerations, the recent price increase should have no bearing on your decision to buy and hold precious metals, even if by some chance they make new lows in the process. As a Canadian would say, no worries. Just remember the old saw that youre holding for insurance first; profit second. And while youre at it, pat yourself on the back for living in a country where, in unlike a number of those mentioned above, you have a reliable source such as Money Metals Exchange from which to purchase your physical gold and silver. David Smith is Senior Analyst for TheMorganReport.com and is a regular contributor to MoneyMetals.com. For the last 15 years, he has investigated precious metals mines and exploration sites in Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Mexico, China, Canada, and the U.S. and shared his findings and investment wisdom with readers, radio listeners, and audiences at North American investment conferences. They will throw their gold into the streets but it will do them no good. Bible great tactic to make people use the dollar In the UK some new gold coinage is legal tender and is therefore not subject to taxes on purchase or selling ie VAT or capital gains tax at the point of resale. Just thought I would point that out for clarity. @AntiLieGuy, Im in Vancouver, BC. Does that mean I may get the chance to meet my maker sooner rather than later too? Sounds great, I cant wait!

And, hey, make sure to catch us at Proctors Theatre in Schenectady next Wednesday, Loughnane added. Its going to be a real good show. 
2	Maryland Sheriff James T. DeWees Defies Obama In The Most Public Way Possible Maryland Sheriff James T. DeWees sent Obama a public letter shaming him for his recent actions, or inaction to be more specific. In case you havent heard, eight American police officers over the past eight days have been killed in the line of duty. Two of these police officers were Harford County Sheriffs Deputies that were gunned down at a Panera Restaurant just 50 miles from where you live. Ive watched and listened intently for words of encouragement and sorrow to come from you, but havent heard or seen anything. Conversely, just two weeks ago my governor, Larry Hogan, spent the better part of a week placing a call each day to one of my deputies that was involved in a severe traffic collision in Carroll County. He wasnt satisfied with speaking to me in order to send his prayers and regards; he called every day after the collision until he spoke with my deputys wife. Governor Hogan also drove to Harford County the day after two deputies were slain to meet Sheriff Gahler and the men women of his office to grieve with them. The governor is in the middle of the 2016 Legislative Session and is pretty busy, yet found time to call, visit and pay his respects to me my deputy, and the men women of the Harford County Sheriffs Office. I understand that you are a busy man and are being pulled in multiple directions every day of the week. But, when my president doesnt take the time to openly recognize the sacrifices that brave men women of law enforcement make each day to keep domestic peace, Im disappointed! I suspect that if these same deputies walked in to a restaurant, and without provocation shot and killed an innocent man, you and your staff would quickly whisk their family away to Washington for a future speech to make an example of police officers nationwide. For me Mr. President, it has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat; black or white, male or female; but, it has everything to do with leading or following. Im not shocked that you havent openly reached out or acknowledged publically the recent rash of deaths in law enforcement, but Im tremendously disappointed! Do you think this sheriff is right? 
2	Police Save Dozens By Taking Out Gunman In North Carolina Mall Shootout [VIDEO] An officer-involved shooting inside a mall in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday left one person dead, according to police. Preliminary evidence gathered on scene indicates that a group of subjects who had a history of feuding encountered each other inside the mall and got into an altercation which led to Mr. Westbrook shooting a firearm. This was not a random act of violence and the subjects involved are known to one another, read a statement from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. While working off-duty inside the Northlake Mall, Officer Thomas Ferguson heard multiple shots being fired inside the mall. Officer Ferguson responded to the scene and encountered a subject armed with a firearm. According to witnesses, the subject turned and pointed the weapon at Officer Ferguson, who fired his service weapon. CNN affiliate WSOC reported that Westbrook was a rapper who performed under the name Donkey Cartel. The station also said he was a father-to-be. It was not immediately clear whether Hamrick was talking about Westbrook, although police did not say that anyone else was shot. A shopper at a Bebe store on the upper level of the mall told CNN the stores were extremely crowded. Lauren Malone was with her sister and mother in the store, which is above the show store, when she heard boom, boom, boom. Comment Yes if you think our police force does an incredible job. 
2	Liberals Launch Disgusting Plan To Get Trump Removed From Office Using Constitutional Amendment With just days until Donald Trump becomes our nations 45th president, liberals are scrambling to find a way to keep him out of the White House. In a recent Washington Post article, one liberal called on liberals to use a loophole Constitutional Amendment to impeach trouble. Liberals know that they would have little chance of impeachment making it through the house and being convicted by the sentence. This process requires proof of acts of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. However, under the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, the vice president, together with a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress can remove the president for being unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. This gives the Cabinet an opportunity to take Trump down if they wanted to. Liberals are demanding that they consider itbut its unlikely that Mike Pence would stand behind such a measure. What do you think? Is it time for liberals to just face reality? 
1	Longtime readers are already mourning the end of an era as CBS announced today that at the end of this month it would cease print operations of the popular drama NCIS after several years of diminishing ad revenue and subscription rates. While we have always endeavored to publish the finest and most hard-hitting NCIS print content possible, our business model unfortunately can no longer support physical, hard-copy editions of the Naval Criminal Investigation Services adventures, said NCIS publisher Shane Brennan, a long-time employee who delivered hard copies of the naval police procedural by truck during its infancy. While I still think that the print edition is the best way to experience NCISturning each page, feeling the newsprint on your fingersit's time for us to move on and accept that the industry is changing. Still, I know Ill always enjoy taking one of the hardbound print anthologies of past seasons off the shelf and leafing through classic exploits from yesteryear of Gibbs, McGee, and the rest of the team. The NCIS editorial board later confirmed that they would continue to release new content on the dramas weekly television edition. 
3	Activist Forces Chicago Police to Disclose Details on Stingray Cellphone SurveillanceBy Derrick Broze The ruling comes after Chicago activist Freddy Martinez filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the CPD in 2014. Martinez was attempting to gain information regarding when, where, how, and why Chicago police deploy the Stingrays. Martinez is also attempting to reveal what type of legal authorization is required to use the devices, as well as what happens once cellphone data is collected. Anti-Media has reported extensively on Stingray, the brand name of a popular cell-site simulator manufactured by the Harris Corporation. The Electronic Frontier Foundation describes Stingray as a brand name of an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) Catcher targeted and sold to law enforcement. A Stingray works by masquerading as a cellphone tower to which your mobile phone sends signals to every 7 to 15 seconds whether you are on a call or not and tricks your phone into connecting to it. As a result, whoever is in possession of a Stingray can figure out who, when, and where a target is calling, as well as the precise location of every device within the range. With some devices, it can even capture the content of conversations. Both Harris Corp. and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) require police to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDA) related to the use of the devices. Through these NDAs, local police departments have become subordinate to Harris, and even in court cases in front of a judge, they are not allowed to speak about the details of their arrangements. Due to this secrecy, very little has been known about how exactly the Stingrays work. Last month, Anti-Media reported on the release of Stingray manuals from an unknown whistleblower. The leak has helped shine a light on how the devices operate, but there is still very little information available. The little we do know was disclosed through open records requests and lawsuits filed by journalists and researchers like Freddy Martinez. After Martinez filed his FOIA request, the CPD refused to provide any information, claiming revealing the data would give criminals critical information on the technology. CPD also said releasing information could possibly justify law enforcement investigations. Thankfully, Judge Kathleen Kennedy disagreed. On Monday, Judge Kennedy ruled the CPDs argument was too vague. Judge Kennedy wrote: In his affidavit, SSA [Supervisory Special Agent Bradley] Morrison details FBI policy regarding the protection of any information regarding cell site simulators and issues why the disclosure of even minor details about the use of cell site simulators can be detrimental to law enforcement efforts and public safety. However, SSA Morrison fails to mention specifically any of the documents or materials at issue in this case, nor does he profess to know any specifics about defendants use of this technology. Judge Kennedy also rejected the CPDs argument that cell site simulators should be treated like traditional pen register or trap-and-trace devices, which log incoming and outgoing numbers but not the detailed information the Stingrays are capable of gathering. Judge Kennedy continued: The record reflects that IMSI [international mobile subscriber identity] catchers, also known as cell site simulators or Stingrays, can capture a cellphones unique serial number, its location, and the content of calls, text messages, and webpages visited. Because IMSI catchers capabilities are broader, it is improper to equate them to and treat them as pen registers and trap and trace devices. The judge ordered the CPD to turn over the requested documents for an in camera review by January 25. At that point, she will decide if any of the records are eligible for public release or if the Chicago police can maintain their secrecy. Freddy Martinez spoke with Ars Technica via encrypted chat about the documents he is seeking and what he expects from Judge Kennedys ruling. Last time we started with eight and got 200 but this one I expect will be much bigger, Martinez said.

Great work Mr. Martinez and this reportage deserves to be followed as the alien/military/industrial/complex flexes its tentacles with cell phone surveillance. All the judges and politicians want to know how much dirt is being (or has been) collected on themselves to see just how much of a target they are for blackmail. FOIA is a more discreet way to find that out. 
2	Dr. Carson Warns Americans: Do NOT Register Your Guns According to recent reports, Dr. Ben Carson has made a statement that he no longer believes in gun registration. Why? According to Carson, pro-gun control authorities in Washington may eventually seek to fully disarm the citizenry. According to Carson, he used to think they needed to be registered, but if you register them they just come and find you and take your guns. If we were only concerned about external forces, then we would be okay, Carson continued. But there are some pretty sinister internal forces. Carson sites several examples that could contribute for the need for martial law. Some of the instances he describes include national debt, and a shift in the population. We would become a third-world nation overnight, Carson claims. And all of a sudden, there would be things that would be going on in this country which would necessitate martial law. What do you think of Carsons statements? 
2	Congress Approves Bill Offering Free Cars To Welfare Recipients Recently, the White House announced a plan to offer free vehicles to welfare recipients. According to reports the bill passed in a narrow vote. The program was initiated by President Barack Obama, and in many way mirrors what has become known as The Obama Phone, or the program through which welfare recipients can get free cell phone service. John Earnest announced the program launch, stating The free automobile program gives low-income Americans the opportunity to take ownership of a vehicle at no cost, and will also include a monthly gas card for $100. Any United States Citizen receiving welfare benefits qualifies for the program, which will be starting on January 5, 2015. Of course, the topic is not met without hi debate. Why should those on welfare be simply given a vehicle? Why not take public transportation? What will the costs be to taxpayers? Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell told reporters that this passing will be the downfall of President Obama. This absurd plan that the democrats have conjured up is beyond belief. I have no idea how or why congress passed this, McConnell stated. But I will tell you this: it is the beginning of the end for the Obama administration. Americans are fed up, and they are being called to the post. It is only a matter of time before impeachment hearings begin, mark my words. Earnest claimed that the campaign is designed to help unemployed Americans find work. Every American deserves the right to possess the ability to get themselves to a good job, Earnest told the press. Public transportation is very limited for most of the unemployment, especially in rural areas. This free vehicle assistance program is designed to change the way Americans are currently living. The President will sign the bill later this week, and the planning will be put into motion. What do you think? Should your hard earned tax dollars be buying cars for the unemployed? What about the many employed Americans who cannot afford vehicles? 
2	School Holds Wear A Hijab Day America is quickly being blinded in an attempt to be politically correct. Businesses and educational institutions have become so afraid of being perceived as discriminatory, that theyre overcompensating and creating an environment that is one-sided and divisive. Take this recent incident at the World School of Inquiry in Rochester, New York. The issue began when an Islamic student requested that the school hold a World Hijab Day. Eman Muthana wrote a letter to Principal Sheela Webster, asking if she could introduce a day where girls wear the traditional Islamic garb so that they could experience how women wearing them were treated. Webster agreed that this would be a good opportunity to promote cultural awareness. She invited students and faculty to try on hijab. Its not surprising that there was immediate backlash, starting with faculty. Teacher Jim Farnholz was one of many on staff who were outraged by the idea. As a high school teacher for over 30 years, let me say that this is wrong on so many levels, he argued. All religions are taught in our global studies classes. That being said, that is where understanding, tolerance and the good and bad of religion and history are taught. This, however, is a clear violation of separation of church and state. Webster was quick to defend the process, claiming that their perspective is it was not religious. We are an experiential school; we engage kids in all kinds of activities and projects all of the time, so the perspective of being able to learn what a hijab iswell within the protocol of experiential learning, she argued. What do you think? What would you do if you were a parent at this school?

3	If You Listen Carefully, The Bankers Are Actually Telling Us What Is Going To Happen NextMichael Snyder But in recent months, a lot of these bankers are issuing such ominous warnings that you would think that they have started to write for The Economic Collapse Blog. Of course we have seen this happen before. Just before the financial crisis of 2008, a lot of people at the big banks started to get spooked, and now we are beginning to see an atmosphere of fear spread on Wall Street once again. Nobody is quite sure what is going to happen next, but an increasing number of experts are starting to agree that it wont be good. Lets start with oil. Over the past couple of weeks, we have seen a nice rally for the price of oil. It has bounced back into the low 50s, which is still a catastrophically low level, but it has many hoping for a rebound to a range that will be healthy for the global economy. Unfortunately, many of the experts at the big banks are now anticipating that the exact opposite will happen instead. For example, Citibank says that we could see the price of oilgo as low as 20 dollars this year Even though rigs are shutting down at a pace that we have not seen since the last recession, overall global supply still significantly exceeds overall global demand.Barclays analyst Michael Cohen recently told CNBC that at this point the total amount of excess supply is still in the neighborhood of a million barrels per day And the truth is that many firms simply cannot afford to shut down their rigs. Many are leveraged to the hilt and are really struggling just to service their debt payments. They have to keep pumping so that they can have revenue to meet their financial obligations. The following comes directly fromthe Bank for International Settlements In the end, a lot of these energy companies are going to go belly up if the price of oil does not rise significantly this year. And any financial institutions that are exposed to the debt of these companies or to energy derivatives will likely be in a great deal of distress as well. Meanwhile, the overall global economy continues to slow down. On Monday, we learned that the Baltic Dry Index has dropped to the lowest level ever. Not even during the darkest depths of the last recession did it drop this low. And there are some at the big banks that are warning that this might just be the beginning. For instance,David Kostin of Goldman Sachs is projecting that sales growth for SP 500 companies will be zero percent for all of 2015 Others are even more pessimistic than that. According to Bank of America, the global economy will actually shrink by 2.3 trillion dollars in 2015. One thing that could greatly accelerate our economic problems is the crisis in Greece. If there is no compromise and a new Greek debt deal is not reached, there is a very real possibility that Greece could leave the eurozone. If Greece does leave the eurozone, the continued existence of the monetary union will be thrown into doubt and the euro will utterly collapse. Of course I am not the only one saying these things. Analysts at Morgan Stanley are even projecting that the EUR/USD could plummet to 0.90 if there is a Grexit If that happens, we could see a massive implosion of the 26 trillion dollars in derivatives that are directly tied to the value of the euro. We are moving into a time of great peril for global financial markets, and there are a whole host of signs that we are slowly heading into another major global economic crisis. So dont be fooled by all of the happy talk in the mainstream media. They did not see the last crisis coming either. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Black Police Officers Unmercifully Beatdown White Man Wheres Al Sharpton Now? According to recent reports, 45-year-old white male Joseph Haggerty just filed a $10 million lawsuit in New York City after he suffered injuries at the hands of two black corrections officers. Haggerty was reportedly in jail on a restraining order violation when he asked to be moved to a less crowded cell. An unidentified black officer responded by telling Haggerty to get his white ass over where he told it go. The officer then proceeded to punch him in the rib area, and the unknown African American corrections officer then made overt racial commentstelling Haggerty that this was retaliation for the Eric Garner and Michael Brown cases. The officer then was taken to an area where four black officers repeatedly assaulted him again. Ultimately, Haggerty was taken to Elmhurst Hospital where he was treated for two broken rips and a punctured lung. The case is currently under review by the city. What do you think? Is there a double standard when it comes to media attention?

1	Despite his deep commitment to the sanctity and seriousness of the Word of God, Pastor Clark Lundegaard likes to incorporate a little humor into his weekly sermons, the spiritual leader of Holy Christ Almighty Lutheran Church admitted Sunday. Pastor Lundegaard shares a good-natured laugh with parishioner Betty Brinkworth. 'Humor is a great way to reach people. Often, at the start of a sermon, I'll drop a little joke in there just to set people at ease,' said Lundegaard, 54. 'After all, the church isn't just about dogma, obedience, doctrine, and the maintenance of strict proprietary standardsit's also about having fun.' Examples of Lundegaard's humorous antics abound. On a recent Sunday, the reading was Ezekiel 6:14, in which God angrily tells the prophet, 'And I shall stretch forth my hand upon them: and I shall make the land desolate and abandoned, from the desert of Deblatha, in all their dwelling places: and they shall know that I am the Lord thy God.' To offset the stern passage, Lundegaard 'lightened things up a bit' with a humorous story. 'He told a joke about a Norwegian, a Dutchman, and a German who were ice fishing when they heard a booming, angry voice from above telling them that there were no fish under the ice,' said Patricia Dundee, 36, Holy Christ Almighty choir director and mother of four. 'It turned out, the voice wasn't God at all; it was a loudspeaker saying, 'This is the rink manager. There are no fish under the ice!' So we all had a little laugh over that one.' 'Because you'd have to be pretty silly to try ice fishing in a skating rink,' Dundee added. Dundee's husband Bill enjoyed the joke, as well. 'The nice thing about it was that lots of us here at the church are German or Dutch, but since Pastor Clark himself is Norwegian, he wasn't just poking fun at us, but at himself, too.' When he first arrived at Holy Christ Almighty in 1984, Lundegaard stirred controversy among parishioners with his unorthodox use of humor. But over time, a majority of the flock has come to appreciate his slightly irreverent approach. 'Pastor Clark is a real cut-up up there in the pulpit,' said Grace Manheim, 67. 'Some of his jokes can be pretty corny at times, but as long as it doesn't get in the way of the sermon's message or undermine the solemnity of the Bible lessons for the day, I don't see anything wrong with it.' 'Oh, sure, often during services, you might hear a big, collective groan from the congregation once they see what's coming,' said Lundegaard, who also enjoys drawing comical 'parody' cartoons for the church bulletin. 'But even though they sometimes act like they hate my jokes, I know that deep down, they really love it.' Humor also comes in handy for Lundegaard during the special 'children's sermon' portion of the service, during which the youngest church members are called up to the front to sit in a circle on the floor as Lundegaard speaks to them directly. Though many children are nervous at first, the pastor's use of humor helps 'break the ice.' 'A few months ago, when Pastor Clark did a children's sermon about baptism, he put on a little puppet show, and the puppets got blasted with one of those big super-soaker squirt guns,' churchgoer Fran Helger said. 'Our three-year-old just loved it.' Area Pastor's illustrations 'Boy, nobody saw that one coming,' said Lundegaard when asked about the incident. 'It was a real 'laugh riot,' as the young people say.' Though he admitted that some of the older church members felt it was a little inappropriate to have squirt guns in church, Lundegaard said that if a joke works, one shouldn't shy away from mildly controversial material. 'Speaking of children's sermons, here's a funny little story for you,' Lundegaard said. 'This pastor was talking to a group of kids and, to illustrate a point, he asked, 'Does anybody know what's small, furry, has a bushy tail, and runs up trees looking for nuts?' All the kids were silent but, finally, one little boy said, 'Well, I know the answer is Jesus, but it sure sounds like a squirrel to me!'' Lundegaard then laughed good-naturedly for 15 to 20 seconds. 'That's a good one!' he added. 'Isn't that a cute one?' Lundegaard's wife, homemaker Patty Lundegaard, who has heard the humorous anecdote an estimated 1,400 times over the course of their 26-year marriage, groaned audibly. Despite Lundegaard's standing as a community leader and man of God, his humor is not always 100 percent wholesome. Parishioners say that during social outings, in the presence of couples he knows well or if he's had a few glasses of wine, he will tell the occasional 'blue,' or dirty, joke as long as there are no children nearby. 'I had no idea there were so many religious-themed dirty jokes, but Pastor Clark's got a million of them,' said Len Branniff, church-council treasurer and Lundegaard's longtime golfing buddy. 'Like the one about the elderly Lutheran who got a waterbed, and his wife called it 'The Dead Sea.' Or the one he told me about the dizzy blonde who went to church because she heard there was a guy in there that was hung like this' Branniff then outstretched his arms in the posture of the crucified Christ, visually delivering the joke's risqu punchline. 'Sure, it's a bit off-color,' Branniff said, 'but nobody here in town questions Pastor Clark's sincere love of Jesus or his commitment to the church's mission. His jokes are a big part of fostering fellowship here at Holy Christ Almighty.' For all his joking, Lundegaard stressed that the most important humor is that which has meaning and can help people understand the mysteries of faith in ways they can apply to their everyday lives. 'Sometimes, when confronted with the majesty and mystery of God's vast creation, we can get a little overwhelmed. That's where jokes can help us keep our feet on the ground and bring the whole process down to Earth,' Lundegaard said. 'It's like the time Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went camping. There they were, staring up at the stars, and Sherlock asked, 'Watson, what does this beautiful sight mean to you? What can we learn from this?' Well, Watson thought about it as hard as he could and, finally, he said, 'Well, Holmes, it means we are all just insignificant dots in a larger whole, and that even though the universe may be unfathomable, there is a larger plan,' and this and that, on and on, until he was so confused he didn't know what to think. Finally, Watson gave up and said, 'What do you think, Holmes?'' 'And Holmes said, 'Elementary, my dear Watson,'' Lundegaard said. ''It means somebody stole our tent.' Lundegaard then laughed for several seconds, adding, 'Ain't it the truth, though?' with a sly wink. 
2	Atheists Attack Teen After She Did THIS To Keep Under God In The Pledge Of Allegiance [VIDEO] According to recent reports, an atheist student and family from the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District is calling for the removal of the phrase Under God in the pledge of allegiance, claiming that it offends and alienates those of other religions. Now, one Christian student is taking a stand in support of the pledge. According to Samantha Jones, the phrase Under God actually protects the rights of ALL Americans because it makes the powerful statement that our rights come from a higher power rather than from the Government. Jones recently received the support of Christians everywhere, after she appeared on Fox News for an interview with Neil Cavuto to discuss her beliefs.

1	An audiotape released yesterday that purportedly captures the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown at the hands of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson definitively proves exactly what you want it to, according to experts. This recording, in which two distinct bursts of gunfire can be heard, is irrefutable evidence that Officer Wilson either briefly paused before consciously deciding to kill an unarmed black teenager, or that Brown charged at him and caused him to use deadly force in his own self-defense, said audio forensics specialist John Kilpatrick, adding that the 12-second clip recorded from a nearby apartment provided the kind of indisputable support for your point of view that would finally end weeks of speculation about the incident. Its impossible to listen to these tapes and not be utterly convinced that the shooting transpired exactly as you thought it did all alongthe proof is right there. The audio recording comes on the heels of an earlier video of Brown allegedly robbing a convenience store that experts say clearly validated beyond any doubt whatever you wanted to believe about young black men.

1	It is never easy for The selfnews editorial board to choose the single most exemplary individual of the past 12 months. Over the proud course of The selfnewss 234-year publishing history, some of the worlds most outstanding individuals have been honored as Man of the Year. Who can forget such past winners as Crispus Attucks, Charles DeGaulle, John Ritter, The Guy From the Police Academy Movies Who Can Make Funny Noises With His Mouth and last years co-winners, The San Diego Chicken and Stomach Cancer? This year, The selfnews is honored to bestow the award upon the 39th President of the United States, Bill Climpton. Indeed, this past year, President Climp-ton has been a significant force in the realm of American politics, and, some might argue, world politics. He is undoubtedly one of the most powerful men in the United States, making decisions every day that affect hundreds, if not thousands of people. From the White House in Washington to Camp David in Israel, Climpton has proven himself a fearless leader, particularly this year, when the threat of war with Russia and boiling tensions with our neighbors to the east have been as high as ever. But through it all, he has been a voice of courage, working closely with Parliament to make things better for people the world over. In matters of foreign policy, his reach has been broad and his record has been nothing short of spectacular. In Bangladesh, he cured four people with a very strong medicine. In China, he defended the rights of a guy who was going to be killed for saying negative things about something the government was doing. In England, he helped patch things up between Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher and Winston Groomno easy task considering the enormous scope of their rift. Domestically, he has helped re-define Amer-ican life by proposing something about health care, building roads through the rocky Pacific Northwest and quelling a dangerous uprising in a part of the country where there was an uprising. And he has done all this in the face of considerable danger. In the past, people have tried to kill U.S. presidents, which has forced Climpton to hire full-time Secret Security guards to protect his white house and car. But even without the threat of assassination, it is clearly a challenge being Commandant-in-Chief of this great nation. It is a full-time job, often requiring many hours of overtime. Despite his hard work, though, he is still criticized by many critical people. Sometimes members of the press write negative things about him, and, in the past, even fellow politicians have spoken harshly of Climpton. At times, the criticism has even made him sad. But through it all, he has more than persevered; he has thrived. According to a neighbor of this reporter, who was still awake at the late hour this story was filed, President Climpton is a very good president. I really like his position on a lot of important issues. Bill Climpton serves this great country because he likes what he does. And that is undoubtedly the best reason of them all. Because if he didnt like it, he wouldnt be doing such a bang-up job. And he is doing a bang-up job. And for that reason, The selfnews proudly crowns this nations 38th president, William Morehouse Climpton, 1995 Man of the Year. Congratulations. 
3	Is government aid a giant money laundering scheme?Jon Rappoport President Lyndon Johnson declared it and announced it in 1965. Since then, the federal government and state governments have poured staggering amounts of dollars into the program. How many dollars? Does anyone know? In his 1992 book, Paved With Good Intentions, Jared Taylor puts the figure (1965-1992) at $2.5 trillion. So, for the sake of argument, lets accept that. Yet, by 1992 (and to an even greater degree since then), poverty had accelerated in America. Had gotten much, much worse. So the logical question was and is: where did all that money go? This question doesnt call for a general answer; it cries out for a compete and detailed and scathing investigation. Dollar by dollar, inner city by inner city, program by program, outcome by outcome, for every month and every year since 1965. How much of that $2.5 trillion never arrived at its destination? How much was utterly wasted, and how? How much was diverted from its assigned objectives, and to whom? And what did these thieves do with it? Where is the record of all the canceled checks and money transfers, from point of origin to recipient? Where is the record of what each and every recipient did with the money? But of course, when it comes to governmentwrong. Government proves it cares by dispensing money. What happens after that is anybodys guess. Foreign aid the US federal government sends abroad is a complete nightmare, because tinpot dictators with their hands out are involved, as well as side-bribes, and padded contracts to multinational corporations to do work in those foreign nations. But here at home, you would expect a close monitoring of aid. Where are the reports? Where are the overall assessments of results? Where are the accounting books with their blow-by-blow details? If you spend $2.5 trillion to solve a problem, and it gets worse, monumentally worse, you know you failed. You know more than that. You know huge sums were stolen. You know individuals facilitated that theft. You know individuals covered up the theft. To now say this should be a criminal investigation headed by the Department of Justice is $2.5 trillion late and 17,520 days short. Federal officials are interested in only one thing: putting enough layers between themselves and crimes to achieve plausible deniability. After that, they walk away. But we can take this even further. In order to facilitate the failure of $2.5 trillion to achieve its stated objectives, you arent just talking about random diversions and occasional opportunists. Too much money is at stake. No, you have to be talking about preplanned thefts of enormous sums. Organized and coordinated thefts. This isnt Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton money. This isnt just a state coordinators money. This isnt just a limousine liberals money. This is HUGE money. And therefore, there has to be a plan to hide the stolen money, to put it somewhere, to deliver it to places without being discovered. Which is exactly what laundering is all about. Ask any drug cartel chief. When government officials, asked about poverty in America, simply say, We have to do more, theyre not only obfuscating and lying, theyre accessories after the fact. They know. Theyre not that stupid. They know enormous sums have been, and are being, carted away into the night. Every presidential administration since 1965 has been complicit. Suppose your baby, back in 1965, was suffering from diminished sight. You took him to an opthamologist, who told you, This is very serious, well have to hospitalize your child for treatment. The government will pay. Flash forward to 2013. Your child is now 48 years old. Hes been in the hospital all this time. A doctor now tells you: Weve spent $2.5 trillion on your son. Hes completely blind. Hes developed a life-threatening blood disorder and six brain tumors. He cant stand up. We feed him through a straw. Would you suspect something criminal? Or would you blithely accept that the doctors have been doing everything they can to cure his problem? The unpleasant truth is, most Americans would just say, Well, they tried, but mistakes were made. However, you and I know better. The Great Society is a money-laundering operation.

3	Pesticides May Increase Risk of ADHD in ChildrenMargie King Published in the journal Pediatrics, the study measured pesticide levels in the urine of 1,139 children from the general U.S. population. The results indicated a connection between exposure to pesticides and the presence of symptoms of ADHD. The authors concluded that exposure to organophosphate pesticides, at levels common among U.S. children, may contribute to a diagnosis of ADHD. Another study published in Environmental Health Perspectives found that the children of pregnant women exposed to organophosphate pesticides also had an increased risk of developing ADHD. Organophosphate pesticides are a group of approximately 40 closely related pesticides that affect functioning of the nervous system. Their insecticidal action works by interfering with an enzyme in the insect resulting in the accumulation of a neurotransmitter in nerve endings. This results in excessive transmission of nerve impulses, which kills the bug. Organophosphates are highly toxic to mammals and dissipate very slowly once introduced to the body. The symptoms of organophosphate poisoning start with extreme excitability and shaking, and move on to convulsions, paralysis and death. Sarin is one of the nerve gases developed by the Nazis during World War II using organophosphates. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that approximately 60 million pounds of organophosphates are applied to approximately 60 million acres of crops in the United States in a year. According to Harvard researcher and the lead author of the study in Pediatrics, Maryse F. Bouchard, previous studies had shown that exposure to some organophosphate compounds cause hyperactivity and cognitive deficits in animals. This study, however, found that exposing developing children to organophosphate pesticides might affect their neural systems and could contribute to ADHD behaviors, such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. To avoid pesticides in your fruits and vegetables, buy organic as much as possible and wash all fruits and vegetables and use a vegetable scrub brush. Check out the Environmental Working Groups Shoppers Guide to Pesticides listing the Dirty Dozen, i.e. the 12 fruits and vegetables that you should definitely buy organic, and the Clean 15, those that generally use fewer pesticides and so you can get by without the organic version.

2	Bill Clintons Black Son Emerges From Out Of No Where To Drop Humiliating Truth Bomb With Donald Trump just weeks away from officially becoming our president, Hillary Clinton probably thought her problems were over. Unfortunately, it looks like there are still more Clinton skeletons falling out of the closet. Danney Williams shocked the nation when he came forward with claims that he is the son of former President Bill Clinton. Danney is the son of Bobbie Ann Williams, a prostitute in Arkansas who claims to have had an affair with Clinton in the mid-1980s. For decades, she has been telling friends that Danney is Bills son. Its hard to deny the resemblance between the two men. In the video below, Danney gives his first full-length interview on the matter. What he has to say is absolutely mind-blowing. Watch as he gives a first-hand account of Hillary Clinton trying to silence him and his mother. What do you think? Are you relieved this family wont be in the White House?

2	Starbucks CEO Has Harsh Words For Those That Oppose Gay Marriage Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has been criticized in the past for running a leftist company, and it is not secret that the coffee franchise leans heavily in one direction. However, in the past few years the company has gotten more political, and more vocal. Consumers are starting to wonder if this time theyve too far. Recently, Starbucks teamed up with several other businesses in a lawsuit over the Defense of Marriage act. When Starbucks announced its support for gay marriage, many conservatives and Christians began to boycott Starbucks products. In the first full quarter after this boycott was announced, our sales and earningsshall we say politelywere a bit disappointing, claims Tom Strobar of the Corporate Morality Action Center. Despite pleas from employees to change or at least hide the stance, Schultz has steadfastly refused. If you feel, respectfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38% [shareholder] return you got last year, its a free country, Schultz told investors. You can sell your shares in Starbucks and buy shares in another company. Thank you very much. 
3	Libyan Revolution Update: Enjoying DemocracyTony Cartalucci, Contributor The New York Times boasts this latest achievement of NATOs global democracy campaign in their article, Offices of Premier Attacked in Libya, and gives us some insight into the future that awaits Syrians, should NATO be able to repeat its success there as well. The New York Times admits that the latest attacks are indicative of the lawlessness pervading the capital, and of course is just the latest in a long list of reports regarding murder, mayhem, atrocities, genocide, and general dysfunction in Libya since achieving democracy. And Libyas US-proxy prime minister, Abdurrahim el-Keib, a chairman of the BP, Total, and Shell-funded Petroleum Institute, is not the only one on the newly freed Libyan peoples list. Members of the Transitional National Council (TNC) have also been periodically attacked or kidnapped over similar grievances, while entire cities have unilaterally declared autonomy from Tripoli. As other groups of Syrias opposition have undoubtedly discovered, political reform and inclusion in a functioning Syria is more beneficial than ruling over the fractured, lawless, dystopia Libya has been transformed into. Instead of Syrians drifting away from the governments pro-reform efforts in Syria under threat of Western extortion, with Libya as a clear sign of things to come, they should pull together more closely.

1	Managers of an area International House of Pancakes discovered 95 comment cards nailed to its front door Sunday, which were later identified as the work of local resident Ronald Lyman, a 53-year-old contractor and onetime regular customer who is calling for wide-scale reform of the venerable chain. The self-styled pancake reformer decries IHOP indulgences such as whipped toppings. 'IHOP has grown weak on powdered sugar and fruity garnishes, forsaking the righteousness of its original rib-sticking mission,' said Lyman, who nailed his 95 comments to the door shortly before the morning brunch rush, when they would receive maximum exposure. 'This house is no longer a house of pancakesit is a house of lies.' Lyman's 95 cards assail IHOP for what he perceives to be an 'unholy alliance' of the sweet and the savory, a dangerously narrowing blueberry-to-batter ratio, hard-to-open butter packets, and an increasingly tall short stack. Fifteen cards alone attack the excessive breadth of syrup selection. 'IHOP is about pancakes, not syrups,' card 41 reads. 'No pancake can exist drowned in a pool of lingonberry. No man who comes hungry can leave happy on artificial orange-flavored goo.' Lyman said that his pancake fundamentalism is based on 'the trinity of griddle-fried batter, butter, and maple syrup, as directed by our breakfast elders more than two score years ago.' His beliefs were forged by years of increasing dissatisfaction with the 'internationalist' influence within IHOP, which he said stresses flavor over substance. 'The course of my life changed last week when a waitress dropped a tray and I was struck with hot coffee,' Lyman said. 'As I wiped my eyes and opened them, suddenly I became aware of the full extent of the corruption. Sweet crepes mingling with egg runoff. The sickening decadence of Belgian waffles. A waitstaff more concerned with lining their pockets with tips than with dedicating their lives to service. I stormed from the wicked place without settling my bill, finally realizing what I must do: devote my life to bringing down the House of Pancakes. To bring it down, then build it anew in righteousness and customer satisfaction.' IHOP manager Dennis Ryskowski said that he has tried to read some of Lyman's comments during his breaks, but has so far only made it to card 26, 'On the Blankets of Pigs.' 'We welcome all customer suggestions and feedback,' Ryskowski said. 'That's why we provide the comment cards. I do, however, wish Mr. Lyman had simply placed his in the box by the host station instead.' Several customers who had come to the restaurant after bars closed Sunday night agreed with Lyman's stand, saying they, too, often feel disconnected from the IHOP experience. 'I really like what he has to say about returning to the basics,' customer Kelly Grabler said. 'Sometimes you just want a nice fat stack of pancakes, but you end up overwhelmed by the choices. Lots of the stuff isn't even breakfast. An IHOP meal should be a straightforward relationship between an individual and some pancakes.' Card 63 perhaps most eloquently summarizes Lyman's condemnatory stance. 'These steep and serene blue roofs, which arc to the heavens, in truth house corrupt souls who once sought succor in a simple pancake, but have now succumbed to the temptation of caramel cheesecakes and Caesar salads,' Lyman wrote. 'Only by returning to its hearty breakfast roots can IHOP save itself and its customers.' Lyman suggested that, should his recommended changes not be instituted, he will have no choice but to break with the restaurant and start his own International House of Pancakes, Reformed (IHOPR) off I-229 by the airport. 
1	Hailing it as a groundbreaking discovery with far-ranging benefits, pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced a new breakthrough Friday that vastly extends the lifespan of near-death patents. Ensuring that every one of these patents lives a long and fruitful life is our highest priority, and were committed to doing everything in our power to make sure they survive, said Pfizer spokeswoman Ellen Hilty, noting that the drug manufacturer with more than $50 billion in annual revenues had assembled elite teams of experts and dedicated years of intense work to finding a way to prolong the lives of dying patents. At Pfizer, patents always come first. Our primary goal is, and always will be, keeping them alive and healthy for as long as possible. And thats why we couldnt be happier to announce this wonderful development. Hilty added that nothing causes Pfizer officials more distress than seeing a once robust patent expire at a young age, a terrible tragedy that allows dozens of generic manufacturers to copy it and offer pharmaceuticals to customers far more cheaply. 
3	Tulsi Gabbard, Dennis Kucinich Travel To Syria On Fact Finding, Peace MissionBy Brandon Turbeville These press outlets have attacked her for not giving advance notice to Democratic Party leadership, for not yet disclosing who funded the trip, and for possibly meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. [We are sure the same reaction would be provided if she had traveled to Israel, right?] Gabbard has even been maligned as the GOPs favorite Democrat, a wholly unfair label but one ironically hoisted upon her because of her opposition to international destabilization and imperialist wars. What her office did say in regards to the trip was that, She felt it was important to meet with a number of individuals and groups including religious leaders, humanitarian workers, refugees and government and community leaders. Gabbard is a member of the House Foreign Affairs and Armed Services Committee and is herself an Iraq war veteran. She has repeatedly called for an end to Americas arming and assisting of terrorist groups in Syria, even introducing the Stop Arming Terrorists Act, which would bar the U.S. government from providing money or assistance to al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, Jobhat Fatah al-Sham, and the Islamic State. If you or I gave money, weapons or support to al-Qaeda or ISIS, we would be thrown in jail, she said. Yet the U.S. government has been violating this law for years, quietly supporting allies and partners of al-Qaeda, ISIL ... and other terrorist groups with money, weapons and intelligence support, in their fight to overthrow the Syrian government. Gabbard is not alone on the trip, however. Former Ohio Congressman and Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is also in Syria, according to reports, having visiting both Damascus and Aleppo. Kucinich has long been a critic of U.S. aggression both under the Bush and Obama regimes. As he stated to Sputnik in November of last year, The United States has made wrong decisions and needs to change its course, and change it quickly. We need to back away from this idea that somehow we are going to usurp the administration of [Syrian President] Bashar al-Assad. That is not our job. It is not for us to determine who the leaders of any country should be. He also added that, It does not do us any good to continue to spread Cold War psychology, to engage in fantasies and lies about Russias role in the United States and to build policies upon those fantasies and lies. According to Syrian Pastor, Ibrahim Nasser, both Gabbard and Kucinich, as part of the delegation, affirmed their opposition to Americas foreign policy under the Obama administration of the destabilization and destruction of Syria. Pastor Nasser stated, During the meeting [with the church officials] as members of the US Congress they confirmed that they oppose the policy of their administration, especially with regard to the issue of support of terrorists and they will try to convey the real picture to the US people. Brandon Turbeville article archive here is the author of seven books, Codex Alimentarius The End of Health Freedom, 7 Real Conspiracies, Five Sense Solutions and Dispatches From a Dissident, volume 1 and volume 2, The Road to Damascus: The Anglo-American Assault on Syria, and The Difference it Makes: 36 Reasons Why Hillary Clinton Should Never Be President.

Please contact activistpost (at) gmail.com. This article may be freely shared in part or in full with author attribution and source link. Gabbard has even been maligned as the GOPs favorite Democrat, Uhm,.the GOP establishment are just as much pro-illegal war than the Dem establishment Yeah thats called a hit piece aimed at Dems who support her, like I do. Not buying it. Look for Kucinich and Gabbard to die in an aircraft crash. God, I hope not. Tulsi Gabbard visited with Donald Trump in Trump Tower days after the election. Talk at the time was that he might be considering her for a cabinet position, and as attractive as that was for pro-peace people, I said that Tulsi was more valuable to Trump remaining in the House as a strong voice for Trumps peace policies on the other side of the aisle. I think now reading this article that Trump and Gabbard must have discussed this trip privately, and he approved of it, or perhaps even assigned her the mission. Pure speculation. The rumors about a cabinet position were from anonymous sources aka didnt exist. That was part of a concerted effort to tie her name to Trump in a negative way (to Democrats). Dennis Kucinich endorsed Tulsi last election, and shes made stopping regime-change wars stopping the US from arming terrorists a priority. Great report! Tulsi is one of the two House reps from my state of Hawaii. Good on her and Dennis! You Hawaiins made a good choice. Brain and guts. Finally, someone with a spine! Does anyone remember that quaint little congressman George Hanson form Idaho? He blew the entire facade of the Carter Administration back in 1979 during the feigned Iran Hostage Crisis. Congressman Hanson was also made to pay through the nose to the official hit man agency known as the IRS. They repeatedly attacked him until they broke him. They likely will do the same with her. Shew not afraid, and I love her for it. These two public figures have every right to get accurate information at the source, and I applaud them both. Take that John McCain Lindsey Graham ! 2 BIGGEST TRAITORS in congress I might add Kucinich blew the whistle on Hillary in Libya when he recorded Gadaffis son saying she refused to even talk to them and they wanted to surrender. Some diplomat Hillary was huh? To my knowledge that has NEVER BEEN REPORTED ON MSM. Maybe if it had been Benghazi wouldnt have happened. we wouldnt have to endure 4 more dead Americans WHAT DIFFERNCE DOES IT MAKE? Thanks for nothing MSM. 
1	While stressing that racial profiling is degrading and has made his life more difficult in a great many ways, 29-year-old Egyptian-American Tarek Yasin admitted to reporters Monday that he does sort of enjoy always having two seats to himself when he rides the bus. Sure, its insulting when people take one look at me and then walk to the other end of the bus, but after a long day of work, it is kind of nice to be able to stretch out a little bit, said Yasin, adding that since the Boston Marathon bombings on Apr. 15, he hasnt once had to sit next to someone else during his daily commute. Even when the bus is full, just the sight of me standing in the aisle is enough to make people get up and move, so I always wind up with a seat. Ignorance, fear, racismthese are horrible things, but at least I get to sit down and take a load off. Yasin, who has been an American citizen for over a decade, added that he also gets the locker room at his health club to himself just by showing up and setting down [his] gym bag. 
1	Saying they were at a loss as to what could have recently made them feel any anger and distrust toward the NFL commissioner, Americans across the country confirmed Thursday that they are struggling to remember why they were at one point mad at Roger Goodell. I can distinctly remember being outraged at Roger Goodell about something a few weeks back, but at this point, I honestly couldnt tell you what it was, said 36-year-old Pittsburgh resident Stephen Kreiser, who, like millions of football fans nationwide, was unable to put his finger on precisely what could have happened to cause him to question Goodells leadership and even go so far as to demand his resignation. Maybe it had to do with a new rule change or something. I mean, if he had done something really terrible, its not like I would have just immediately forgotten it. Oh, well, Im sure it was nothing. Reached for comment, Goodell confirmed that it was in fact nothing. UPDATE: Americans have now reportedly given up trying to remember the reason and are excitedly looking forward to watching Thursday nights AFC East clash between the Jets and Patriots. 
2	Trump Chosen By God To Stop Americas Destruction Astounding 2011 Prophecy According to retired firefighter Mark Taylor, God showed him in 2011 that Donald Trump would become President of the United States. Taylors statements were first made during an exclusive interview with Rick Wiles of TRUNEWS in April of this year. Thats when he shared his prophetic visions for the first time. Taylor claims he received the vision on April 28, 2011. At the time, he was watching an interview featuring the legendary businessman. Thats when he swears he heard the Lord say he was listening to the President. What do you think of Taylors vision? 
1	Shortly after the official scheduling of his execution date, convicted murderer Thomas McGuire admitted to reporters Wednesday that he is curious to see how the state is going to pull off his lethal injection. Ive been spending a lot of time praying and trying to find peace, but I have to admit, I also find myself genuinely wondering how theyre going to even get this thing off the ground, said McGuire, adding that the Florida Department of Corrections and state prosecutors have been talking a big game for years about administering justice for his crimes, but havent once mentioned how they plan to circumvent the nationwide pentobarbital shortage and put their money where their mouth is. Even if they can manage to get an untested mix of chemicals from some distributor, Im a pretty big guytheres a good chance they wont even have enough to finish me off. Honestly, if they actually make this happen, Ill be impressed. If the state does prove able to kill him, McGuire said he puts the estimate on the length of time it will take to be declared dead at one hour, 48 minutes. 
3	$1 Trillion Spent on US Police State Since 9/11 If They Hated Our Freedom, They Must Love Us NowBy Justin Gardner As 9/11 was used to invade and occupy Iraq and Afghanistan securing a geopolitical foothold in the region like never before civil rights were dismantled and energies were devoted to the development of a massive domestic surveillance state that Stasi Germany could only dream of. Indeed, 9/11 served as the perfect pretext for carrying out the goals of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) headed by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and other purveyors of U.S. military hegemony. In a policy document called Rebuilding Americas Defenses published exactly one year before 9/11, PNAC wrote: Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor. While Cheney and the gang were wrecking the Middle East, carrying out countless extrajudicial killings and torturing enemy combatants, the same fabricated legal justifications for those actions were being used to build an enormous surveillance apparatus in the homeland. Construction of spy centers increased at a frenzied rate as the black budget soared. The military- and surveillance-industrial complex couldnt be happier, and indeed, their profit windfalls fueled about half of the economic recovery during the 2000s. The Patriot Act, NSA warrantless wiretapping and FBI National Security Letters are a few examples of the abuses carried out under the banner of 9/11. The Snowden revelations finally began to jolt enough Americans into a state of awareness. No one really knows the extent of the hidden world, growing beyond control of the surveillance state. Six years ago a Washington Post investigation found: Some 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States. An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C., hold top-secret security clearances. In Washington and the surrounding area, 33 building complexes for top-secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September 2001. Together they occupy the equivalent of almost three Pentagons or 22 U.S. Capitol buildings about 17 million square feet of space. There is no evidence to suggest this astounding growth has been put in check. In 2013, the Black Budget was $52.6 billion, spent on 16 spy agencies with over 107,000 employees. The espionage empirerivals or exceeds the levels at the height of the Cold War. According to the New York Times, the amount spent on domestic counter-terrorism since 9/11 is a staggering $1 trillion. This is only for homeland security measures, not the overseas so-called War on Terror. It is disturbing insight into how the State can manage a sustained campaign of fear-mongering, with the aid of mainstream media, to fog the vision of the American populace while spending incredible amounts of our tax money on an almost non-existent threat. As John Mueller, senior research scientist at Ohio States Mershon Center for International Security Studies, says, this spending is not based on factual reality. It is a government-media scam based on an aberration of 9/11 rather than a true likelihood of terrorist attacks. An American has about a 1 in 4 million chance of being killed by a terrorist on U.S. soil, which has resulted on average seven deaths a year. One is far more likely to die from lightning or getting struck by a deer, Mueller said. No one wants to talk about acceptable risk. But clearly we do accept a lot of risk. We cant get risk down to zero in anything: automobiles, surgery, or a deer running across the road, Mueller said. We basically live with those threats. The Department of Homeland Security receives the lions share of the funding, with $37 billion to be allotted there in 2017, out of the total $50.4 billion an 11.5 percent increase over 2016. The director of the Ohio Homeland Security agency, a prime beneficiary of the funding, says the San Bernardino and Orlando shootings justify all this spending and warns that another 9/11 could happen if we dont remain committed to the spending. He doesnt explain how we can expect to stop a psychopath from grabbing a gun and shooting up a nightclub or a place of employment, unless they put in place the kind of total surveillance George Orwell fictionalized in his book 1984. Perpetrators of the surveillance state dont need facts when justifying their existence. They will continue simply appealing to emotion, stoking fear and using 9/11 to spend another trillion on an almost non-existent threat. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. We know from Aaron Russo the Rockefellers had a direct hand in the planning of 9/11. This nightmare goes beyond neocons, beyond PNAC. Before 9/11 there was the 1999 Moscow false flags that launched a parallel dystopia, before that Gladio..Vietnam, Korea, WWII, WWI, US Civil War, British Opium Warsall Bankers Wars. Yep, Israeli Mossad planted the mini Nukes in the buildings. .it was a Zionist operation with full support of the Zionists like Rockefeller and the Bushs. I agree Mossad had a hand in the operation and the global elite dominated by Zionism planned the operation long in advance. Dont fall for the persistent PSY OP of limiting the blame to one small faction, That is DESIGNED to fragment our view of the TOP of the PYRAMID: the banksters, the royals, and the Zionist-minded plutocrats the psychopaths who are using the UN, treaties, Orwellian technocracy, and their new energy based economic system to enslave humanity on the level of China and beyond. Why is the world history of false flags not incorporated into the lens of power corrupts: REICHSTAG / Pakistan school shootings / Moscow Why does the neoliberal left focus on the neocons? Alt disinfo outlets such as VT (admitted by the Editor in Chief, a world socialist) zero in on Israel? [The experience of Dr. Suarez described in his recent article on selfnews Post provides a clue.] They learned there lessons from the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution false flag. All the Vietnam riots. They knew what would happen if we got in another unwinable war after 9/11. They didnt expect people to get pissed off. Should of had another 68 DNC this year! Actually the people who planned this jumped up and down about the takedown of America . That is exactly what they called it. The banking oligarchy and thier corporate cooperees (which is basically all.of them by now) have so well succeeded in thier plans for using the dollar and the US tax base for a massive worldwide program.of fraud and theft that they dont need it anymoreand any remaining implications of freedom they consider an obstacle because theyve stolen all the options and benefits.for themselves. So we have to be elimated. Did you know that WW2 was really an unleashing the dogs of war operation? Julius Ceasar attained a perennial place in history by killing by his own admission 10% of the Gallic.populationfor the sole ourpose of tearing the gold jewelry of thier dead bodies. I argue that ww2 never came to an end because this never came to an end. The REAL NAZIS.the.people who were responsible for what weve been told about WW2 are the same ones ruling the world today.and the pourpose for the neverending war conducted by the United stateshasnt changed either.

'Listen, if Oscar were fighting my cousin or even my brother, I would take $1 million easy. But this is my son we're talking about,' said Mayweather, adding that years ago, before he tucked his son into bed every night, he told him he loved him so much that he would always be there to protect him unless he was paid $2 million to do otherwise. 'I'm like Abraham, and my son is like Isaac. And Oscar de la Hoya, if he pays me $2 million, will retain his WBC welterweight title.' Mayweather added that for $3 million he would slip downers in his son's water bottle between rounds.

2	Obama Gives Muslim Nation 195,000,000 In Honor Of Muslim Holiday According to recent reports, President Obama has decided to give 195 million taxpayer dollars to Syria to celebrate the Muslim holiday Eid al-Fitr. Michelle and I send our warmest greetings to Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr here in the United States and around the world, President Obama said in an official White House release, During the past month, Muslims have honored their faith through prayer and service, fasting and time spent with loved ones. To help the many Syrians in need this Eid al-Fitr, the President continues, the United States is providing an additional $195 million in food aid and other humanitarian aid, bringing our humanitarian contribution to the Syrian people to over $1 billion since the crisis began. Once again it appears Obama is unilaterally deciding what is best for the United States. What do you think? Are there better ways to spend American tax dollars? 
3	CDC vaccine whistleblower: the silence that killsBy Jon Rappoport Its been a year since Thompson publicly accused his colleagues at the CDC of doing the same thing. Two of those colleagues, Frank DeStefano and Collen Boyle, are high-ranking CDC executives in the area of vaccine safety. During this past year, mainstream reporters and defenders of the realm have taken two approaches: silence; and vague claims that Thompsons statements are false. Both of these approaches are slimy and disingenuous, because the man we want to hear from is Thompson himself. And we have not. We want to hear from him in a public setting, in front of a hearing where he can speak at length, where he can fill in details, where he can air all his claims without censorship. At the moment, the possibility of such a hearing is remote, because the US Congress is bought and sold. Short of a hearing, we want Thompson to sit down with a reporter and speak on camera, extensively, and submit himself to questions. He has said he will not do this. He and his lawyer, Rick Morgan, know there are a number of reporters who will do a proper interview, without edits. I could easily name a dozen reporters who would conduct an in-depth interview, live, online, for the whole world to see. Thompsons reluctance? It appears he believes his public testimony, under oath, in front of a Congressional committee, will protect him from harm. Im talking about harm from people who will do anything to maintain the reputation of vaccines. But what if there never is a full-blooded open Congressional hearing? What then? Will Thompson maintain silence for the rest of his life? More is at stake here than the danger of the MMR vaccine. The CDC has done hundreds of key studies on vaccine safety. They are all thrown into doubt by Thompsons assertion recently quoted by Congressman Bill Posey on the floor of the Congressthat Thompson and his colleagues brought a garbage can into a CDC office and threw out documents that would have shown the MMR connection to autism. This speaks of a massive indifference to human life and safety. Thompson should also know, and certainly does know, that Congressional hearings have a way of soft-pedaling accusations against government agencies. There is no guarantee that, in such a setting, he would be able to air his confession and his grievances in full. Whereas, in an interview with independent investigators/reporters, he would have complete latitude. Time constraints would not apply. He would be asked for many, many details. The full story, from his point of view, would emerge. It is my conclusion that Thompson entered into an arrangement with his bosses at the CDC. After his public confession of a year ago, it was too late to put the genie back in the bottle and cork it. But damage control could be undertaken. Thompson could say (and he did) that he was willing (and only willing) to work with Congress to present the truth. His CDC bosses were confident that they could, with the help of powerful friends in government and in the pharmaceutical industry, prevent serious Congressional exposure. And if Thompson maintained silence otherwise, refusing to talk to reporters, there would be little or no coverage of the scandal. The CDC assured Thompson that he could continue to work for them and retire and receive his full pension. Thats my conclusion. If Im in error, let Thompson or his lawyer, Rick Morgan, correct me. Beyond Thompsons year-old confession, there are taped phone calls between him and Brian Hooker and Andrew Wakefield. In these fragments, Thompson expresses his outrage about the use of mercury (thimerosal) in vaccines. He makes other damning statements about vaccines. These statements should also be the springboard for an in-depth interview with Thompson, on camera. Then there is the matter of a 2004 letter Thompson wrote to the head of the CDC, Julie Gerberding. He informed Gerberding that he had data about the MMR vaccine that was very sensitive and troubling. He was surely referring to the suppressed truth about the MMR-autism connection. Thompson was about to present these data at a major CDC vaccine conference Apparently, Gerberding never answered the letter and instead stonewalled Thompson. His presentation was cancelled. But some five years later, when she left the CDC, Gerberding did go to work for Merck as the president of their vaccine division And Merck does, in fact, manufacture the MMR vaccine. What are the odds that this potential stick of dynamite would be permitted to explode during an open Congressional hearing, with Gerberding on the stand under oath? The likelihood is on the level of the full moon turning into a cowboy on a horse in full view of the whole world. So we have the silence of the Congress, the silence of the major media, and the silence of Thompson himself. I have no doubt he fears for his life. On the other hand, can he maintain invisibility forever? At stake is the severe neurological damage caused by the MMR and other vaccines. The pretense of major media in all this is preposterous. After 30 years of working as a reporter, I know what makes a story. I know that a major researcher (which Thompson is) at a major government agency (the CDC) admitting to gross fraud, is, without further ado or parsing, a blockbuster, a page-one headline. There is absolutely no doubt about it. We arent talking about somebody coming in from the outside and claiming the CDC is cooking their research books. No, this is a house man, a valued member of the research club, blowing the whistle on himself and his highly placed colleagues, at considerable risk to himself. This is already a huge story, without taking another step. To achieve the stunning media silence of a year, there was active repression and collusion and pressure, and lies told and excuses made. The bulk of America, card carrying members of the Idiocracy, heard nothing and saw nothing, so nothing happened. In retrospect, we can understand why a major push for mandatory vaccination has been launched. Thompson was cutting close to the bone with his revelations. Alternative news sites have been bristling with stories exposing the dangers of vaccines. The powers-that-be decided it was time to double down. It was time to overwhelm the noise and go all-out. It was time to pass new laws eliminating vaccine exemptions, and it was time to hurl waves of vicious accusations against truth tellers. The Thompson case remains in limbo. Will he ever speak out and spill all the secrets? Will he emerge from the shadows? This isnt over. Its far from over. (To read about Jons mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

1	After hurriedly gathering papers from his desk and giving a quick nod to his professor, Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev rushed out of his summer engineering class at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth this morning to make his arraignment in U.S. District Court, sources reported. Shit, I already missed two Loop buses and the next one isnt for 15 minutesIm going to be so late, the 19-year-old terror suspect told classmates on his way out, noting that because he left his UMass Pass at his dorm, he would have to rifle through his backpack for some change while running to the bus stop. The good news is that Im only missing half a lecture, so as I long as I get notes from someone it should be fine. Plus, this class is pass/fail anyway. At press time, sources were reporting that upon arriving at the courthouse, Tsarnaev apologized to the judge for his tardiness and explained that he had usually gotten rides from his brother. 
2	Hillary Clinton BLAMES White People For Dallas Massacre... Gives THIS Sickening Reason In the wake of the tragic shooting in Dallas that left five police officers dead and seven more injured, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton put the responsibility on the shoulders of white people. On CNN on Friday, she called for federal guidelines to address systematic racism that leads to the shooting of black men by police officers. I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have The Talk, about you know, how to really protect themselves, when theyre the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with police, Clinton commented. Im going to be talking to white people, were the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries coming from our African-American fellow citizens, she continued. Weve got to figure out what is happening when routine traffic stops, routine arrests, escalate to killingsClearly, there seems to be a terrible disconnect between many police departments and officers and the people they have sworn to protect. Clinton then claimed federal policing guidelines are needed because many police departments need to address systemic racism. Of course, not everyone embraced Hillarys message with open arms. Joel B. Pollak wrote on Breitbart, commenting that Clintons comments were deeply offensive in the context of an attack where white officers had been targeted, and the very opposite of what a president is supposed to do. Clinton made stark, condescending generalizations about white people and their supposed inability to listen to black people, he added. She made no reciprocal requests of black Americansno need to examine cultural attitudes to police, or the hostile rhetoric of some community leaders. What do you think of Clintons comments? 
2	BREAKING: Clinton Hit With Murder Accusation... This Is The Moment Weve All Been Waiting For The number of Clinton acquaintances that have died under mysterious circumstances has been raising questions for years now. Sadly, that list only continues to grow. This week, some murderous accusations resurfaced against Bill Clinton that could be the nail in the coffin for Hillarys presidential campaign. Daily Mail reported that in 1986, Penthouse Pet Judi Gibbs died in a mysterious house fire. The incident occurred amidst rumors that she possessed photos proving that she and Clinton had been regular sex partners. Gibbs, who was 32 at the time, died alongside her 57-year-old boyfriend Bill Puterbaugh. Three decades later, her family is coming forward with claims that Clinton had something to do with her death. I have always been convinced that Bill Clinton was responsible for the fire, but I have no proof, Gibbs older sister Martha told reporters. And what would happen if I had proofyou cant touch those people. Puterbaughs son, Randy, also agrees that Bill likely played a hand in his fathers death. There are so many pieces of the puzzle, he commented. I believe it is a possibility that Bill Clinton was involved in their deaths. I know I wish I had hired my own private investigator but I didnt, so I guess I will never know. Its official. The Clintons cant be trusted. Do you agree? 
2	BREAKING: Formal Articles For Obamas Impeachment Released His Career Is Over According to redflag.com there are 3 articles released for Obamas impeachment, Article I In his conduct while President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has willfully corrupted and manipulated the executive branch to increase its power and destroy the balance of powers between the three branches of government that is established by the Constitution of the United States. Article II (1) Article 2, Section 3 of the Constitution mandates that from time to time the President shall give to Congress information on the State of the Union. Implicit in this is an obligation for the President to be truthful with the Congress and the American people. Barack Hussein Obama has repeatedly violated his oath of office and the requirements of the Constitution by willfully withholding information on important issues or actively taken part in misleading the Congress and the American people. Article III (1) Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution establishes the President as Commander in Chief of the United States Military. This requires him to use his power and authority to oversee the proper use of the military to properly protect and defend the people and territory of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. He is further responsible for using the U.S. military in a manner that is effective and protects members of the military and takes proper care of veterans. The President takes an oath of office that encompasses these duties. Barack Hussein Obama has consistently violated these duties and violated his oath. See http://www.redflagnews.com/headlines/breaking-formal-articles-of-impeachment-written-by-michael-connelly-constitutional-attorney for more details pertaining to the articles of impeachment. Do you think Obama should be impeached? 
1	NBA analyst Bruce Bowen reportedly suggested Friday that openly gay free agent center Jason Collins just might be the perfect frontcourt presence for a team needing to instantly boost media coverage. Jason Collins is a savvy, veteran center who can immediately contribute to increasing a teams public visibility, said Bowen, adding that the 34-year-old homosexual basketball player really shines in the middle of press conferences. Collins would be a great pickup for teams like the Milwaukee Bucks or Sacramento Kings that are lacking a big man who can dominate in the postgame interview. Bowen acknowledged that signing Collins would be potentially risky, claiming that the move would significantly hurt any teams depth at center. 
1	Officers from the New York City Police Department evacuated the Union Square subway station and suspended all train service Monday after a random search of a passenger's backpack revealed an explosive bestseller. NYPD officer Clarence Williams conducts a routine bag search. As of press time, bomb-disposal teams were still reviewing the threat. New York City Police Chief Raymond Kelly said officers performing bag checks at the southwest entrance to the station apprehended a Caucasian male in his mid-20s who was attempting to board a train carrying a small, brick-like object at 8:45 a.m. Kelly withheld the suspect's name and the title of the must-read page-turner. 'The suspect has been charged with possession of a dangerously hard-hitting bombshell,' Kelly said. 'Still at large is the mastermind behind the plot. We intend to bring this co-conspirator into custody before he can strike again with a shocking sequel.' He added: 'It's possible that this thriller's devastating conclusion will hit like a ton of TNT.' A blurb on the back cover of the novel has been traced to Deja Dead author Kathy Reichs. In the blurb, Reichs described the Union Square novel as 'literary dynamite.' Authorities would not comment on what, if any, charges Reichs faces. Although many blockbuster scares turn out to be nothing more than a ream of overheated typing with a menacing cover, officials said they are exercising great caution in handling this incendiary thriller. 'We're keeping our eyes peeled for clever devices,' NYPD bomb-squad leader Roy Czulewicz said. 'But many bestsellers have been known to hold people captive for hours with rapid-fire prose. Once you pick them up, you suddenly find you can't put them down.' The Union Square bestseller is the latest in a series of dramatic items discovered in New York since random subway bag searches began. On July 27, a hip-hop CD containing over 75 F-bombs led to the suspension of train service for 18 hours. And, on Aug. 2, a fiery burst of cinnamon freshness was discovered in a pack of Trident left on a Long Island Railroad car by perpetrators unknown. 
2	Woman Sues Background Check Site After Husband Uses Site To Catch Her Cheating Mary from Dallas Texas filed a lawsuit against background check site Persopo.com on September 13,2016 inClark County Justice Court. In her lawsuit, she alleges Persopo.com provided her husband with confidential information about her. Her husband divorced her based off this information and she wantsPersopo.com to pay her $700 in damages. The case can be found on the Clark County website case number 16A003140, https://lvjcpa.clarkcountynv.gov/Nowhere in the lawsuit does it dispute if the information is accurate or not. Nor that she was having an affair on her husband with multiple men. Conservative Daily Post spoke to Marys ex-husband Frank to figure out more about this strange situation. Frank had suspected his wife of cheating for a long time. She would constantly be gone for hours without answering her phone and never seemed to have an honest answer why she was gone. We had been married 13 years and had our ups and downs but this seemed different, Frank said. She never did stuff like this before. Leaving at all hours and never telling me where she is going. Frank had finally had enough and decided to start doing some research online. He found Persopo.com a background check site that can give you all sorts of information about someone. To use itall you need to do is type in a name and state and the system goes to work. Pulling together every possible piece of information on them. Persopo.com not only pulls from public records but many different social and dating websites around the internet. It can give you a full picture of someones online activity almost instantly. This is how Frank caught his wife Mary. More and more Americans are using online background check services like Persopo.com They use the service to scope out friends, family, teachers, co-workers or anyone they feel like. Searching is easy all you have to do is type in a name and the state they live in. Instantly you can get access to a huge amount of data from criminal records, property records. In Franks case he also found out about quite a bit of online activity from his wife as well. Is there anyone you would look up on Persopo.com? When I searched her name it came right up, she had accounts matching her name and email on cheatingwives.com, match.com and many others. Frank said. I just couldnt believe this was the woman that I married. Persopo.com even included a screen shot of her match.com profile where it states she is never married for relationship status. After confronting Mary about the situation, Mary did admit to Frank about the affair. She stated she had slept with at least 4 different men within the last 12 months. Frank promptly filed for divorce. Mary is now stating that, Persopo.com ruined my life by revealing private information about me. She is currently seekingunspecified damages. What do you think? Should Mary be entitled to money from Persopo.com? 
1	Promising that it would be best to just buy a ticket and take care of the unpleasantness right away, a new Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice promotional campaign launched this week reportedly urged filmgoers to simply get this whole thing over with. Listen, you all knew this day was coming, so just go sit your ass in the theater, stare up at the IMAX screen for a couple hours, and be done with this shit once and for all, said Warner Brothers marketing strategist Elizabeth Harris, who encouraged fans to make plans with friends right now so they could all bite the fucking bullet over opening weekend. You know you cant put this off forever, so just suck it up and plow through this thing as quickly as possible. Listen, youre going to have to pay the piper now or at some point down the road on a commercial flight or during a broadcast on TNT, so you might as well just pony up the extra 10 bucks for 3D and never think about it again. At press time, Warner Brothers had reportedly kicked off a last-minute Batman V. Superman media blitz in major markets advising audiences to just bend over and take it like a champ. 
2	Texas University Group Offering Rewards To Students While Hosting Catch An Illegal Immigrant Day According to recent reports, the UT chapter of the Young Conservatives of Texas was set to house a mock immigration sting on campus, entitled Catch an Illegal Immigrant. The YCT planned to offer students $25 gift cards if they were able to catch individuals walking around campus wearing the words illegal immigrant on them. Our students, faculty and the entire University work hard both to promote diversity and engage in a respectful exchange of ideas, claimed President William Powers Jr. This event does not reflect that approach or commitment. The purpose of this event is to spark a campus-wide discussion about the issue of illegal immigration and how it affects our everyday lives, claims YCT chairman Lorenzo Garcia. Still, the event created much controversy. Gregory Vincent, vice president of the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, claimed that the event would represent a complete disregard for the UT honor code. He deemed the proposed actions of the event both inflammatory and demeaning. Others have called the event disrespectful and racist. Its just really unfortunate to see a group of students that go to school with students of all backgrounds, beliefs, opinions, whatever it may be, do something as disrespectful as that, Student Government President Horacio Villarreal told reporters. Some argue that it is more important to bring awareness to the real issue, instead of gamifying it. What do you think? Is the event the right thing to do? 
2	After Weeks Of Protesting Colin Kaepernick Was Just Met With His Worst Nightmare At the beginning of last month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick dominated headlines for refusing to stand while the national anthem played before a game. Less than 24 hours later, fans were burning his jersey in protest of his actions. Still, Kaepernicks refusal to stand sparked a string of protests among NFL players, and the league is now paying a real price. For the third week in a row, ratings for NFL games have gone down noticeably. CBS New Detroit claims that the political message being pushed violates a politics-free zone. I want to say to these guys, If you werent playing in the NFL, you would be working at McDonalds, he commented. I think people have had it. Sports used to not be a stage for this, and now it is, so Im turning it off. I refused to watch the Chicago-Philadelphia game because they were going to protestYou start to figure out you can get along without football, there are other things out there I can do. Forbes Magazine has also been reporting on the downward trend in ratings, writing: Week 2 of the NFL season is picking up right where Week 1 ended in terms of TV ratings. This weekends Sunday Night Football failed to reverse the downward trend and the same holds true for last nights Monday Night Football on ESPN. What do you think of these new reports? Is America fed up with the racial agenda being pushed in this country? 
1	Unable to sleep after a stressful day, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez reportedly spent several hours last night lying in bed imagining how his life might have turned out if he hadnt played professional football, sources confirmed Wednesday. My life would be great if I werent a quarterback in the NFL, the 26-year-old reportedly thought to himself, growing melancholy as he envisioned living in a nice little town surrounded by people who genuinely liked him. Id have a normal job and a boss I respect. I could make a mistake and only the people in the room would know about it. Strangers wouldnt just shout at me on the street. Maybe Id have a wife and a kid who would look up to me and be proud of me. Just to have one person in the world who believes Im a heroI think that would be enough. According to sources, the last image in Sanchezs mind before he fell asleep was of his imaginary family sitting side-by-side on the couch and rooting for Jets quarterback Geno Smith on the television. 
3	North Korea Blasts U.S. for Germ Warfare ProgramBy Janet Phelan The Korean National News Agency, in a report published on June 4, 2015, called the anthrax horrible white powder which has the killing potential of 95 percent. The report stated that the US secretly introduced anthrax germs into south Korea for its experiment to seriously threaten the existence of mankind The report also stated that The above-said anthrax germ experiments in south Korea are heinous war crimes committed pursuant to the U.S. scenario for world domination. In a separate release, North Korea called for the responsible American officials to be brought in front of the International Criminal Court. These statements come on the heels of the recent auction of the Needham Report, published in 1952, which documents the use of biological warfare by the U.S. during the Korean War. This rare copy of the report, officially titled Report of the International Scientific Commission for the Facts Concerning Bacterial Warfare in Korea and China, was put up for auction by South Korean filmmaker Lim Jong-Tae, who had stumbled upon it several years ago in a British bookstore. Prior to his purchase, the Needham Report was considered to have been permanently lost. According to investigative journalist Jeffrey Kaye, who recently put parts of the Needham Report on his website, The U.S. collaboration with Japanese war criminals of Unit 731 was formally admitted in 1999 by the U.S. government, though the documentation of that has never been published. >Kaye goes on to discuss efforts to debunk the Needham Report by multiple governments, including the U.S. and the U.K. Kaye writes, The charges of U.S. use of biological weapons during the Korean War are even more incendiary than the now proven claims that the U.S. amnestied Japanese military doctors and others working on biological weapons who experimented on human subjects, and ultimately killed thousands in operational uses of those weapons against China during the Sino-Japanese portion of World War Two. The amnesty was the price paid for U.S. military and intelligence researchers to get access to the trove of research The Needham Report details U.S. bacteriological warfare in Korea and China. According to the Report, U.S. planes sprayed plague-infected fleas in both China and Korea. Insects and spiders carrying anthrax were also dropped in China. Plague-infected voles were parachuted down by U.S. planes in Korea, and cholera-infected clams were dropped on a Korean hillside apparently in an effort to contaminate a nearby drinking water supply. Testimonies of captured U.S. airmen were also included as buttressing evidence in the report. WHY IS ANTHRAX BEING MAILED TO SO MANY LABS, ANYWAY? The recent reports of the Pentagon accidentally mailing live anthrax to 68 labs in 19 states, as well as to the District of Columbia, Japan, South Korea, Britain, Canada and Australia have resulted in a flurry of attention to the methods used to ensure our collective safety from a potential release. Article after article has appeared in the press in the past couple of weeks discussing the methods by which anthrax is killed and how to ensure that an accidental release does not take place again. One question that is not being asked, however, is why the U.S. government is mailing anthrax to so many labs, worldwide. According to Inbios, a Seattle lab that was named as a recipient of the live anthrax, that lab did not expect to receive anthrax, live or killed. According to personnel at Inbios, the lab had applied for a potential contract involving detection systems. As part of the winnowing out process, the lab was to receive an unspecified agent at which point it could develop the detection system as part of the bidding process. Inbios states it was unaware that the agent they were being mailed was anthrax. Stanford University was also named as a recipient of the accidental live anthrax mailing. According to Lisa Lapin at the Stanford University press office, the Stanford lab is studying immune system response, in order to develop vaccines and treatments for anthrax. Lapin refused to supply a contract number for the Stanford research project, stating only that the contract was with the FDA. A search of contracts with the FDA and Stanford at usaspending.gov did not produce any FDA contracts with Stanford for anthrax research. According to the CDC, there were 321 organizations or entities registered as working with live pathogens, such as anthrax. The Government Accountability Office has stated that within those 321 entities are 1495 laboratories, which have been accredited to work with live pathogens, and a much larger number working with inert versions of the same pathogen. There are at least four accidents involving accidental release from U.S. labs reported every week. WHAT ELSE IS BEING MAILED? According to a recent article published in the Hankyoreh, the U.S. has brought other lethal agents into South Korea without informing its government. The highly dangerous botulinum toxin is also named as an agent brought into South Korea for experiments. Behind all this activity involving agents for germ warfare in South Korea is JUPITR. JUPITR is an acronym for Joint USFK Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition. According to Peter Emanuel, Bioscience Division Chief for the U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center, JUPITR was planned as a military project to enable U.S. forces in South Korea to defend against a germ warfare attack from North Korea. JUPITR involves state of the art biosurveillance, with environmental detectors as well as mobile labs which can quickly determine if a biological threat is at play. According to a 2014 interview with Emanuel, four different agents are being assessed anthrax, plague, bacillia and botoxin. It was unclear if these four agents were all sent to South Korea for tests. One of the consistent problems with determining whether or not an offensive germ warfare program exists is the dual-use bugaboo. What this means, in a nutshell, is that in order to create countermeasures, whether they be vaccines or detection systems, one must have the germ itself on hand. This could potentially provide a smokescreen for an offensive biological weapons program. DONT WORRY, BE HAPPY The U.S. has consistently denied that it was engaged in biological warfare in Korea during the Korean War. Concerning the allegations involving U.S. germ warfare during the Korean War, Jeffrey Kaye wrote: .the U.S. was not serious about conducting any investigation into such charges, despite what the government said publicly. The reason the U.S. didnt want any investigation was because an actual investigation would reveal military operations, which, if revealed, could do us psychological as well as military damage. Referencing the recent mailing of live anthrax, Department of Defense spokesperson Col. Warren stated: We are investigating the inadvertent transfer of live anthrax from a DoD lab from Dugway Proving Ground. A separate DoD statement said There is no known risk to the general public, and no personnel have shown any signs of possible exposure. The Department of Defense has reported that at least 31 people have been put on post-exposure treatment. Janet C.

3	When Things Go Boom It Is Too Late To PrepareGaye Levy, Contributor Now I assume that since you are reading this article you already know that. I also know that you are probably not an extremist, but rather a practical and, dare I say, ordinary sort who would rather blend into the woodwork as you quietly prepare for some unknown event and in an unknown future. Assumptions not withstanding, that is how I like to think of myself and trust me, I am very ordinary. What to Do Before Things Go Boom I was recently contacted by Brian Howard, the author of the book When Things Go Boom!and asked if I would like to review a copy on Backdoor Survival. He told me the books subtitle was A Highly Practical (NO FLUFF!) Guide To What You Can Do Now To Prepare For The Coming Chaos: Techniques, Tips and Supply Checklists. So what did I think? Well first and foremost, this is a book for people who are looking for straightforward facts, basic techniques, a list of tips and do-it-now checklists. What it is not is a book of gorgeous photos or lengthy dialogues on performing any esoteric and exotic skills. Instead, it gives you the basics in a clear and simple manner that is written as though Brian were sitting across from you on the living room couch. But when I say clear and simple, do not be put off. Some of his tips were new to me. For example, he suggests that you include a manual pencil sharpener in your bug-out bag so that you can create wood shavings from twigs. These shavings can then be used when starting a fire. Now how neat is that? Another neat tip has to do with making handcuffs out of zip ties (for subduing a bad guy you have clobbered with a baton or baseball bat). These are just two of the many useful tips. Now to be honest, there were a couple of tips I will choose to ignore such as eating raw worms for protein. Ugh! Each chapter begins with a description of why the topic is important, as well as key techniques and concerns relative to the topic. When it comes to gear and supplies, Brian names names in terms of the brands he has tested. He even goes so far to recommend some specific models that he has personally used and tested. Plus, at the end of each chapter he lists Tips, Do Now items and a Checklist of gear and supplies to add to your shopping list. And finally, at the end of the book, there is a section listing the websites of all of the vendors mentioned a real timesaver when you want to do your own research. My favorite chapter was the section on Shelter and Habitat. His discussion of creating a safe, outdoor shelter suggested some unique approaches to protect yourself when getting out of dodge, as was his discussion of basic perimeter security. Setting up a trip line of bells and cans now why had I not thought of that? The Final Word When Things Go Boom!is great for beginners, but even old pros will pick up a tip or two. If you, or someone you know, is struggling getting started and would like to have everything laid out in a simple and practical checklist format, this is a great book to get you going. I think it would be especially useful for an experienced prepper to read and pass on to someone needing that extra little push toward self-reliance in an emergency. At $4.99 for the Kindle version and $12 for the paperback, the book is priced for just about everyones budget. Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation!

2	Muslims Thought They Could Take Over This Town, But These Texans Stood Their Ground A woman named Pamela Geller has been making headlines as a vocal advocate in the fight against radical Islam and Shariah law. Last month, Geller got word of an anti-free speech rally called Stand With the Prophet, organized by an Islamic group similar to the Council for American-Islamic Relations. Geller organized a counter-rally, in an event that was attended by thousands of patriotic Americans. Now, Geller has announced another event called Draw the Prophet. The event will host many artists who arent afraid to draw and paint funny images of the Prophet, and is organized in response to the artists killed by anti-free speech extremists in France. If the Western media ran the Danish cartoons back when this Islamic supremacist movement first started gaining steam, the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo would be alive today, Geller told reporters. Theyre just cartoons. Were holding this exhibit and cartoon contest to show how insane the world has becomewith people in the free world tiptoeing in terror around supremacist thugs who actually commit murder over cartoons. If we cant stand up for the freedom of speech, we will lose itand with it, free society. What do you think of Gellers actions to take a stand for free speech? Do you support her standing up for American values? 
3	The Real Transfer of Wealth: From Manufacturing to Government (with Infographic)selfnews Post The story centers around industry. Creators of the infographic posted below worked with InetSoft, as well as data obtained from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis to look at the shift in percentage of U.S. GDP as made up by various industries over the first decade. Their numbers and conclusions, at least in terms of statistical relevance, seem to reveal the impact that increasing centralized government control has had on the economic fabric of America. This infographic further echoes what many independent economists and analysts have noted: there is demonstrable evidence showing how Americas foundation of entrepreneurial independence has been eroded by creeping bureaucracy and collectivism. Looking at the data, some interesting trends emerged. Among them were the fact that U.S. manufacturing accounted for 14.2% of the GDP in the year 2000. By 2011 manufacturing had declined to the point that it only represented 11.5% of the GDP. Based on estimates of a $15 trillion dollar GDP in 2011, manufacturing would have created an extra $404 billion dollars, they conclude. Where did this money go? Into the government sector: Conversely, some sectors of U.S. Industry represent a much larger share of the GDP now than they did in 2011. Among them are government (up 1% or $149 billion dollars) and educational/healthcare/social services (up 1.9% or $284 billion dollars). We can see it here: The conclusion is inescapable: the changes noted above have not improved the overall economic condition of America, they have imperiled it. This, coupled with the massive looting that has taken place by the shadow banking system colluding with government is sending future generations on a path toward indentured servitude. The Bureau of Labor StatisticsOverview of the 2008-2018 Projectionsshows that since government has now co-opted health care, finance, insurance, and information, it will hold fully 30% of all future employment growth, far outweighing any private sector. When thenumber one growth industry isgovernment, it islikely to lead to a place very far away from what the the founding fathers of the country had in mind.

2	Obama Targets Our Nations Police Force In The Most Sickening Way Possible [VIDEO] President Obama has been quick to demonize American law enforcement in favor of supporting violent race rioters. Since Obama made some negative comments a few months ago, the number of attacks on cops throughout the country has shot up to an all time high. Authorities suggest that the public feels they have essentially gotten a go-ahead from our President. Despite criticisms and the escalation of violence, Obama has denied requests to defend our officers. He made a feeble attempt to do so at the Congressional Black Caucus Awards dinner, but it fell short of expectations. Do not make this as an either-or proposition, Obama told the crowd. We want to protect our police officerswell do a better job doing it if our communities can feel confident that they are being treated fairly. Hope Im making that clear. Hope Im making that clear. Of course, this statement implies that the violence against police officers is in some way their own fault. This is not a new problem, Obama continued. Its just that in recent months, in recent years, suddenly folks have videos and body cameras and social media. And so its opened our eyes to these incidents. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama trying to play the hero in the eyes of violent protesters? 
3	Syrian Army Ends Ceasefire After US Airstrike Kills More Than 80 Soldiers Fighting Islamic StateBy Baran Hines The decision comes after the United States admitted to bombing Syrian military forces who were fighting the Islamic State on Saturday. At least 80 soldiers were killed and more than 100 wounded in airstrikes which US officials called an accident, while claiming to target Islamic State fighters. A humanitarian aid convoy was also bombed on Monday in airstrikes near Aleppo, which US officials blamed on the Syrian military. The Syrian government explained the decision to ignore the ceasefire in a statement published by state news media SANA. Syrian Army officials claim that armed terrorist groups took advantage of the declared ceasefire to regroup and continued attacks on residential areas and military targets, specifically in the strategic city of Aleppo. It was assumed that the ceasefire will present a real chance to end the bloodshed, but terrorist groups did not adhere to any of the points of the agreement on a ceasefire, the number of violations on their part has exceeded 300, according to translation of the announcement. Russian military officials defended the statements by the Syrian military, calling the ceasefire a one-sided agreement because the opposition continued to engage in terrorist attacks. As the terms of the ceasefire are not respected by militants, we consider observing it unilaterally by the Syrian government forces would be senseless, Lieutenant-General Sergey Rudskoy told reporters at a press briefing. The end of the ceasefire agreement also marks another significant problem with the peace efforts in Syria after Russian officials publicly accused the United States of helping Islamic State. If previously we had suspicions that Al-Nusra Front is protected this way, now, after todays airstrikes on the Syrian army we come to a really terrifying conclusion for the entire world: The White House is defending IS [Islamic State], Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters.

Huh This war is going into an final stage, when the Turks whom I thought was going to do something honest and to help an nation under attac, that was an mistake, and now the Turks openly states this is about protecting Israel, because of Iran?. Thats even stated in the open, what the Yankikkes are doing isnt an suprice what so ever, but the Russian double play to protect the rats in Tel-aviv is coming into the open. I dont feel been fooled, I feel simply sorry for us all, we are been driven into an world war, and it looks like that isnt coming, not because of Russia against Israel but both (UssA-Russia) protects Israel, eventually that is whats making this war special, its about economics and territory Eretzh Israel, and right now the scums of this earth the Turks and the Kurds, whom is killing the oposition inside their own domains, aka an rotten people, and they are winning. peace A cease-fire halts regime change, thats why the war criminal US wanted to end the last one. No life too sacred, no atrocity too no-no. A cease-fire allows the losing and scattered ranks of the terrorist to regroup, re-up on supplies and strategize with no worry of attack. Thats always been the strategy and the reason there hasnt been a successful ceasefire in our lifetime. American MSM is totally suppressing the American act of War. Not a PEEP as the MSM tries to place blame for end of ceasefire on Syria. The US military/government/financial mafia has no shame whatsoever. I think whats long overdue is for the Russians to sell a couple of hundred S400 Triumf or Growler launchers which are capable of destroying airborne targets as far as 250 miles away, at speeds that are just ridiculous. Let the Syrians take out EVERY aircraft from any country that crosses into their airspace; Israeli, US, Turkish, Australian, British, French or whomever. The Syrians should establish no fly zone of their own and be done with this. The us has no right to be in Syria, why are they even talking to them, when it is obvious they want to overthrow the legitimate government.

3	Uruguay Marijuana Legalization Approved in House of Representativesselfnews Post The House of Representatives approved the regulation of the marijuana market, which can enable its sale in pharmacies and legalize self-cultivation Today, with the bars of the House of Representatives filled with activists for the legalization of marijuana, the government will seek to turn a page. The reporting member, Sebastian Sabini (MPP), said the bill seeks to solve the problem of access and insurance mechanisms for users. Opinion polls seem to show a majority of the population oppose the measure fearing that it will not reduce drug related problems. If the Upper House approves the measure, Uruguay will become the first nation to legalize marijuana use nationwide. Uruguays president Jos Mujica has long supported the legalization effort. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Congress Defies Obamas Veto With Majority Power To Pass THIS Bill Congress presented a bill to place increased scrutiny on Syrian Refugees. When it passed by Obamas desk, he vetoed the bill. He was not willing to budge at all on the Syrian Refugees. It seems like he cares more for them than American citizens. After the veto, Congress voted again the pass the bill, and overpowered his veto with the 2/3 majority required. 47 Democrats turned against Obama in order to get this Bill passed. Congress as a whole is slowly turning against Obama. Its only a matter of time before he is impeached. This bill places increased scrutiny on Syrian Refugees already in the US. Should Congress pass a bill denying the access of all new Syrian Refugees to the US? 
2	U.S. Military Takes Stand, Hammers ISIS With Airstrikes [VIDEO] According to recent reports, the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier has just moved to the Mediterranean Sea, after six months in the Persian Gulf. Bombers are taking off faster and more frequently from the Truman, determined to strike ISIS targets in war-ravaged Syria and Iraq. Planes are taking off or landing every few minutes these days, with only intermittent breaks. That is more pressure for those responsible for bomb supplies. These workers have started working night and day to keep up. The Truman has played an enormous role in the United States military campaign against ISIS. Besides a land base in Turkey, it is the main launching point for bombing runs agains the radical Islamic organization. U.S. allied forces have been gaining ground, with the support of the United States. Iraqi Security Forces are closer than ever to winning back the Iraqi stronghold of Falluja. From their initial position in the Persian Gulf and now from the Mediterranean, the Trumans crew has flow more than 1,800 sorties and dropped around 1,500 pieces of ordnance weighing 1.5 million pounds on ISIS targets. We can operate anywhere we want to in the world, Rear Adm. Bret Batchelder said in an interview with CNN. As it happens on this deployment our priority has been the support of Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq and Syria. The missions are long, often around seven hours, and intensive. Each one can require three refueling trips with the tankers. It is also grueling for the sailors, who are responsible for making sure bombs are always available are working extra hours to keep up with the new pace. According to CNN, the USS Harry Truman will remain in the Mediterranean Sea for several more weeks. 
1	Saying they know its no good for them but they just can't help themselves, gushing women voters acknowledged Monday the overwhelming and uncontrollable attraction they feel toward the sexist Republican party. Smitten female voters across the nation told reporters that despite the way it treats them, they still find everything about the GOPfrom its reckless, devil-may-care neglect of women's health issues to its devastatingly bold misogynycompletely irresistible. 'They openly insult me, undermine my intelligence, and act as if I lack the basic responsibility to take care of myself, but every time I hear them talking about why I shouldn't be able to choose what I do with my own body, I get a little turned on,' registered voter Jennifer Wilson said. 'My friends keep telling me I'll get burned like I always do when I elect guys who think their authority extends to my uterus, but there's just something unbelievably sexy about politicians who see something they want and then go out and take it.' 'Sure, I could probably find a party that would respect me and be sympathetic toward my desire to make my own personal health care decisions,' Wilson continued. 'But what can I say? That's not what drives me wild.' While acknowledging they deserved better and were 'probably going to hate [themselves] for it,' many women said that when they go to the polls they simply cannot resist their deep-seated urge to vote for brazenly chauvinistic candidates who actually wish to deprive them of access to even the most commonplace forms of contraception. According to a recent Zogby poll, 83 percent of females voters say they 'just aren't ready to settle down' with a political party that has their best interests at heart, 68 percent find themselves drawn to cocksure Republican lawmakers who oppose extending the Violence Against Women Act, and 54 percent report feeling aroused 'just thinking about' an elderly hard-line evangelical explaining to them how the nation's moral fabric is threatened by the sexual activity of unmarried women. Sexist Republicans Who Make Women Swoon, left to right Mitt Romney, Republican presidential candidate Romney constantly changes his mind on womens rights, and while women say his indecision can be infuriating, they also admit its kind of sexy. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) Women know this sounds awful, but they were seriously turned on when Issas government panel on contraception didnt include a single female witness. Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) Upton is firmly against federal funding for abortion, and women have said his shortsightedness on the issue totally gets them going. 'I keep saying I won't let myself be put at the mercy of a political party that caters to fundamentalist Christians who believe husbands should control their wives,' said Seattle attorney Connie York, explaining the difficulty of voting against a GOP presidential candidate who talks tough about shutting down Planned Parenthood cancer-screening and prenatal-care centers. 'Then I step into the voting booth, draw the curtain, andand it's just so fucking hot, I can't say no.' Added York, 'There's something about pulling the lever for a man who would force you to die for the sake of saving a fetus that makes you feel like you're doing something a little bit naughty, you know?' While experts have repeatedly warned them about the need to break this self-destructive cycle, many women admitted that come November they will likely find themselves falling for yet another wild, insolent candidate who opposes something as basic and necessary as sex education in public schools. 'They're just setting themselves up for disappointment when they do this,' said sociologist Herbert Iglesias, whose research focuses on women who vote for men who would like to see them imprisoned for murder if they have an abortion after being raped. 'And no matter how often they're called derogatory names or discriminated against, some of them keep going back to the same political party.' Still, some female voters said they have a more nuanced outlook on their situation. 'Ultimately, I think we just want what we can't have,' middle school teacher Deborah Trillo, 37, said. 'They walk all over you and break your heart anytime you have the slightest bit of hope for them, but there's always a small part of you that thinks maybe, just maybe, you'll find one who's more than just an irredeemable, narrow-minded, backward, bullying misogynist.' 'Of course with my luck, they always just turn out to be gay,' Trillo added.

2	Watch The Gruesome Attack On A Young White Couple Police Are Calling Not A Hate Crime Recently, an assault in downtown Springfield was caught on video, and has the nation calling it a hate crime, determining that the attack appears to be spurred by race. Some have even started to protest. As far as I know, theres no reason to believe this was an assault that broke out due to race, Lisa Cox, Springfield Police Department spokeswoman told reporters. Still, on Friday, the departments Facebook page received more than 1,500 comments from users who believe there was racial motivation in the incident. According to reports, the victims Meredith J. Cole (19) and Alex J. Vessey (23), suffered serious injuries following the attack, which happened by six black males. According to Cole, the attack happened after the men were disrespectful to her in a club downtown, and her boyfriend went outside to get a better look at them so that he could report the incident to police. As the couple was walking away, they were attacked. What do you think? Are these types of attacks ignored by the media? 
2	The Supreme Court Just Submitted To Shariah Law In THIS Disgusting Way According to recent reports, the Supreme Court just made a ruling that could change the way American businesses interact with Shariah Law The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of Samantha Elauf, the Muslim woman who sued Abercrombie Fitch Co after she was denied a job at the store because her head scarf didnt follow the chains dress code. Elauf sued under the 1964 Civil Rights Act, banning discrimination based on a series of criteria, including religious preference. In this particular case, the main debate is whether Elauf should have been forced to specifically ask for a religious accommodation to wear her headscarf, which she did not do. A request for accommodationmay make it easier to infer motive, but it is not a necessary condition of liability, Judge Antonin Scalia wrote in his decision. Justice Clarence Thomas was the sole vote against Elauf, do to his belief that a mere application of a neutral policy doesnt indicate discrimination. What do you think of the ruling? Does this change the way businesses are forced to act? Are businesses now forced to let anyone wear whatever they want in fear that their might be a religious motive behind it? 
2	German Vigilantes Fight Back Against Muslim Refugee Rapists And Thugs While Obama insists that refugees pose little risk to American citizens, we are seeing reports of violence and rape in Western nations escalating as a result of their efforts. Now, a German vigilante group has just emerged, following an incident in which a group of drunk and stoned migrant refugees sexually assaulted and robbed a group of women in the streets of Cologne. The Facebook group is called Dusseldorf is Watching, and now has more than 8,000 members. The group is on a mission to protect German citizens and make the streets safer for all. German authorities have warned that searching for offenders is not a job for citizens. What do you think? Do you support the group standing up for the safety of their citizens? Would you do the same if Americans were experiencing the same levels of violence? These reports cannot go ignored. This could easily happen here. 
1	Noting a generational shift in the way couples choose to build their lives together, the National Center for Health Statistics confirmed this week that a growing number of Americans are delaying marriage until one partner backs the other into a corner and issues an ultimatum. In the past, a marriage proposal was usually the result of a few months of indirect pressure, but increasingly were finding that what convinces a person to tie the knot is a non-negotiable threat to end a years-long relationship, said NCHS director Charles Rothwell, stating that more individuals are waiting until their partner breaks down in tears and says something along the lines of I just cant do this anymore before asking for their hand in marriage. Today, the decision to spend your life with someone is frequently made under duress, triggered by the recognition that you will lose this person forever if you dont say yes to the all-or-nothing choice you have been presented with. Rothwell added that more often than not, the ultimatums are issued by someone who has just found out yet another close friend from college is getting married. 
2	BREAKING: Michelle Obama Embroiled In Damning Sex Scandal Barack and Michelle Obama have repeatedly denied that their marriage is on the rocks, but we continue to hear rumors that there is trouble in paradise. According to a new report, Michelle is having a steamy secret affair with a Secret Service Agent outside of her detail. The rumors first started after Michelle told NBCs Al Roker that she often sneaks out of the White House. After that claim, an anonymous source came forward with information that many believe this time is spent on a sizzling affair shes carrying on with a Secret Service agent. The rumors are that shes getting it on with a Secret Service agent who is not part of her detail, the source commented. Her frequent outings away from the White House give her and him an opportunity to get together. Something has been going on for a couple of months and theres no question Barack is embarrassed about her increasingly frequent excursions away from him at the White House. What do you think? Do you believe these rumors?

'I'm sure something would go terribly wrong.' Zall said her mechanic offered to show her how to pre-set the stations herself, but she declined, telling him, 'I'm just no good with tools. I'd rather let you experts handle it.' 
1	Citing the overwhelming success of the Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL officials unveiled plans Tuesday to add a second franchise in Jacksonville by the 2017 season. Over the last 20 years, weve seen that Jacksonville, Florida is a city passionately devoted to professional football, said league commissioner Roger Goodell, adding that he believes the market in Jacksonville can easily sustain one, if not two or three additional NFL teams. Obviously, the Jaguars have set a very high bar that would be difficult for a second team to surpass, but if the Jacksonville Pythons were to enjoy even a small fraction of the Jaguars popularity, this would be a worthwhile investment. Officials revealed that to maintain inter-conference balance, the league would also add a team in San Diego, St. Louis, or Tampa Bay. 
2	Al Sharpton Gets The Worst News Of His Life, May Go To Prison For... Things arent looking so good for race-baiter and professional scammer Al Sharpton. According to reports, hes set to have his passport revoked. H.R. 22, the newest law signed by President Obama, moves to strip passports from anyone who owes more than $50,000 in back taxes. The measure went in to effect at the beginning of this year. Still, Sharpton doesnt seem too worried. Were talking about old taxes, he commented, brushing off the charges. I think its political, he continued. Apparently, Sharpton doesnt understand that breaking tax law is a legal issue, not a political one. He clearly thinks highly of himself, but he is not above the law. Or maybe Sharpton just thinks that Obama will let him off the hookwhich is very probable, given that they both like to push a similar narrative about race relations in the United States. We all know how little our president respects the law when it conflicts with his own agenda. What do you think? Is it time Al Sharpton was punished for his crimes? 
1	Following the release of an investigative report earlier this week detailing the cramped and unsanitary conditions within its facilities, Pepperidge Factory Farm has come under considerable fire from snack rights groups for its inhumane treatment of Milanos. This report documents an absolutely appalling environment within Pepperidge Factory Farm, including the use of small, filthy cages that are routinely packed full of helpless Mint and Dark Chocolate Milanos without any paper doilies separating them, said outspoken snack advocate Amanda Lepore, who called out Pepperidge Factory Farmhands for subjecting the cookies to a disturbing series of treatments that consist of pumping them full of additives, chemicals, and fat. Whats most tragic is that many of these weak and vulnerable Milanos are so poorly handled and mistreated that they suffer extensive crumbling and even fractures in their biscuit shells, exposing their delicate chocolate and orange-flavored fillings to the elements. That is no way to treat these sumptuous sweets. Despite finding equally contaminated and overcrowded conditions in Pepperidge Factory Farms Goldfish enclosures, the report noted that every one of the crackers appeared visibly happy and content with its surroundings. 
3	GMO Re-Education: Monsanto, Dow and Biotech Firms Unite to Launch Disinformation SiteDaisy Luther If you had a question about the honesty and integrity of a person in an authority position, would you ask that person to investigate himself and then accept his findings? (I mean, if you were a normal person, not if your name is Barack or Eric.) If a company came out with a new medication that promised to cure your ills overnight, would you ask the company that produced it whether it was safe and trust them to be honest, or would you feel that their answer might be colored by their urge to make a buck? So why on earth would anyone possibly believe that the likes of Monsanto, Dow, and DuPont would be spreading anything but sales-driven propaganda on their new website GMOAnswers? Are they serious or is this some kind of big public relations joke being played out on a national platform? Are we being punked? What kind of person would look up their answers on a website SPONSORED by the very people who are putting out the toxic garbage theyd like us to believe is food? In the most outrageous, blatant case of the foxes being put in charge of the henhouse that I have ever seen, the big biotech companies got together and launched their propaganda site GMOAnswers today. It is run by the Council for Biotechnology Information, whose members include Monsanto, Dow Chemical, DuPont, Syngenta, Bayer CropScience and BASF. The site contains a heavily moderated question and answer forum and a complete compendium of disinformation in the section called Explore GMOs. They purport that the website is an acknowledgement that they need to change: Genetically modified organisms GMOs are a major topic of discussion today. Across our society, media and the Internet, a growing number of people have shared a wide range of questions and emotions on the topic ranging from excitement and optimism to skepticism and even fear. GMO Answers was created to do a better job answering your questions no matter what they are about GMOs. The biotech industry stands 100 percent behind the health and safety of the GM crops on the market today, but we acknowledge that we havent done the best job communicating about them what they are, how they are made, what the safety data says. This website is the beginning of a new conversation among everyone who cares about how our food is grown. Join us. Ask tough questions. Be skeptical. Be open. We look forward to sharing answers. (source) And they tout these 5 principles: The most notable things that I saw about the discussions there is that the experts are all pro-GMO. There is a very subtle bias against those with concerns, despite the fact that many of them are quoting real statistics and genuine peer-reviewed studies. How many experts that are anti-GMO are being moderated right out of the discussion using the House Rules? This website, sadly, is nothing more than an indoctrination vehicle for furthering the myths that Monsanto wants you to believe. Biotech is on the defensive now they have been backed into a corner by activists who insist that the GMOs in our food supply, at the very least, be labeled, so that we can make an informed decision about what we feed our families. This false transparency is their last ditch effort to head off pro-labeling legislation and to keep their toxins hidden in our food supply. What can we do? Ive created my own profile over there so that I can join the discussion. If you decide to join me, please follow the House Rules to the best of your ability and additionally, remember that you want to garner respect, not scorn, so: If other people who dont know a lot about GMOs come to the forum and see anti-GMO activists scrapping it out in an uncivil fashion, it will close their eyes to the message we are trying to share. Dont be afraid to be passionate, but please remember that you are representing all of us who say no to GMO. Do you remember when Cheerios launched the Facebook App that allowed consumers to share what they really thought about the toxin-laden cereal? That was a PR move that backfired dramatically when users bombarded the companys page with anti-GMO messages. Biotech must have missed that, because theyve invited us to Be skeptical. Be open. We want to hear from you. Lets give them what they asked for, shall we? RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

1	Saying that the annual event feels incomplete without them, baseball fans across the nation expressed their outrage Tuesday after the Federal League was once again snubbed by the MLB All-Star Game. To be perfectly frank, it is indefensible that another All-Star Game is going to take place without a single player from the Federal League, said ESPN baseball analyst Tim Kurkjian, adding that the eight talent-laden FL teams will go unrepresented during the festivities for the 86th consecutive time, with even the defending champion Chicago Whales being egregiously overlooked. Doc Addington is batting .339 for the [Newark] Peppers, while Brixton Murphy and his 68 RBIs have single-handedly kept the Brooklyn Tip-Tops in playoff contention, and baseball lovers deserve to see them face the best arms in the Majors. Of course, after pitching 190 strikeouts underhand during the first half of the season, Dutch Cooper has also earned himself a moment on the big stage. Kurkjian further highlighted the illegitimacy of the All-Star selection process by noting that the game will inexplicably include a player from the Philadelphia Phillies. 
2	What Obama Just Did To Tony Stewart Has The Country Shocked Recently, President Obama publicly congratulated Tony Stewart on winning his third Spring Cup Championship. He welcomed the NASCAR champion and his fellow drives into the White House. And then he revealed his prediction that Stewart would not be the winner this year. In fact, he said that if he did end up winning the championshipthis is a quoteIll declare Im a totally bumbling idiot. Heres your chance, Tony. Obama also took the opportunity to thank NASCAR for supporting our troops, and for their partnership with Joining Forces. You look out for Gold Star families, the President announced. You make regular visits to Walter Reed to raise spirits there. And for you guys to give that much back to folks who have given so much to us as a country and help protect us and keep us safe is remarkable. So I want to thank all of you for what you do on behalf of our troops. 
1	In a thrilling conclusion to one of the longest and most anticipated elections in U.S. history, charismatic Democrat Alan Klemke has defeated opponent Carl Ferguson to become the new alderperson for Wichita's 4th District. Klemke delivered a rousing victory address in front of his now-famous campaign headquarters, located in a vacant storefront within the Westway Shopping Center. There Klemke thanked his staff for their hard work throughout a historic campaign that captured the hearts and minds of an entire district, including all neighborhoods south of Douglas Avenue and west of the Arkansas River. 'Thank you all,' Klemke said, his momentous words signaling the beginning of a bold new era in Wichita City Council proceedings. 'I promise to work hard on creating a more responsible municipal water policy and better parking regulations on the weekends. I am also committed to rezoning the old rail corridor on Baker Street, out past where the Denny's used to be, to allow for more commercial building and, hopefully, a new Denny's.' Added Klemke, 'We did it!' Members from every corner of the Wichita press turned out for Klemke's acceptance speech, providing another example of the veritable media frenzy that has surrounded this campaign. Portions of the address were broadcast late Tuesday evening on channels 3, 10, and 12, as well as on two local AM radio stations. With 15,243 votes castthe largest voter turnout in 4th District historythe American people made their voices heard as they elected Klemke over the incumbent Ferguson by a staggering margin of 3.5 percent. Klemke's win, some political analysts have said, is a shake-up of unparalleled proportions, marking the first time a sitting alderperson has ever been defeated in his third term by a former Wichita public school superintendent. 'Surely this is what everyone will be talking about at work tomorrow,' said political blogger and local sporting goods store owner Doug Heldinger, who endorsed Klemke in September, just weeks after he began his campaign. 'It doesn't matter whether you're black, white, rich, poor, or from the part of Greater Wichita that used to be included in the 4th district but is now in District 2 under Alderperson Stephanie Glenneveryone's talking Klemke.' Ferguson conceded the race to Klemke at approximately 11 p.m. Monday, after KSNW 3 anchor Ken Larson had already called the election for the Democrats on the 10 o'clock news. Speculation among media pundits as to whether Ferguson will rally supporters for a comeback in 2012 is already at a fever pitch, but for now, the day belongs to Klemke. The story of Alan Klemke's ascent to alderpersonhood is as well known as it is inspiring. Rising from humble beginnings on the zoning reform board in 2004, Klemke was an underdog of City Council politics from the beginning. Despite gaining early support among proponents of the proposed Douglas Avenue Parking Facility downtown, Klemke's ability to appeal to mainstream 4th District voters was often in question, as he failed to connect with increasing demand for a streamlined recycling pickup schedule. However, the real race for the coveted alderperson seat did not begin in earnest until two years ago, when former mayoral aide Janet Cosgrove, originally considered by most media pundits to be a shoe-in for the 4th District, drew strong support from voters who respected her stance on loitering outside of the Arby's. But Cosgrove's controversial views on the wildly polarizing issue of a new all-weather municipal pool near Sedgwick County Park lost her support in the crucial swing neighborhoods of Northwood and Golfview, forcing her to drop out of the race and resume her position at the local food bank. In a shocking twist, Cosgrove later publicly endorsed Klemke at the July Fourth picnic in the Old Town district, calling his ideas for reforming the parks and recreation budget 'exactly what this city needs.' In the months that followed, the race got even more heated. Excitement ramped up as both campaigns passed out more yard signs and honed their messages regarding what should be put inside the abandoned YMCA. The fierce contest for alderperson delivered controversy after controversythe allegations of Presbyterianism, the now-infamous gazebo incident, and the game-changing endorsement by former library board member Edna Pound in the campaign's final, heart-stopping weekas the rest of the nation watched with bated breath. But in the end, Klemke's triumph was clearly a result of his natural ability to inspire young Wichitanians. 'This was the first year I've been able to vote, and I wanted to make it count,' Wichita State University student Jennifer Reid said. 'I'm glad the woman at the polling station told me there was a back side to the ballot. I voted straight Democrat.' At last, the whole dramatic sagathe whisper campaigns about new property taxes on the Rolling Hills Country Club, the attack ads in The Wichita Eagle, the stirring speeches on issues as fundamental as the proposed remedies to traffic congestion on Kellogg Drivehave come to a final, thrilling, and, for many, joyful conclusion. 'Wichita has entered a new era,' said Wichitanian Fred Bryerly, a reporter for the City Council Beat newsletter. 'I'll always remember where I was when Alan Klemke stood on the steps of the Stanley Neighborhood City Hall and shook the hand of Carl Brewer, who is currently our mayor.'

3	Groups Demand Arrest of War Mastermind Kissinger at Nobel Peace Prize ForumBy Nika Knight In response, on Tuesday the progressive groups RootsAction and Nobel Peace Prize Watch issued a petition demanding that Norwegian officials arrest Kissinger. The Nobel Committee has arranged for well-known war mastermind Henry Kissinger to speak as an honored guest at a forum that is part of the Nobel Peace Prize events, the petition states. Several of Kissingers crimes come under treaties that make it mandatory for Norway to prosecute. Kissinger is complicit or a main actor in many violations of the Genocide Convention and of the Geneva Conventions. Nobel Peace Prize Watch lays out Kissingers actions (pdf) in great detail, making the case that Norway is obligated under international law to arrest the former secretary of state. Kissinger was infamously awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973 for his role in the Vietnam wara decision that comedian Tom Lehrer said made political satire obsolete. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National Security Advisor under Jimmy Carter, is also scheduled to speak at the Oslo forum, which will take place on December 11. Jan Oberg of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research condemned the Nobel committees decision to honor the two former U.S. officials: These two experts on warfare and interventionism willOrwellian stylespeak about The United States andWorld Peace after the Presidential Election. It has used nuclear weapons without apology and owns the second largest arsenal of nuclear weapons. The U.S. stands for about 40 percent of the worlds military expenditures, is the worlds leading arms exporter and has killed more people than anybody else since 1945. Its the master of (imprecise) drone strikes. It presently supports Saudi Arabias bestial war on Yemen and conducts a military build-up in Asia and the Pacific planning, as it seems, for what looks like a future confrontation with China. And not with terribly positive results in its Middle East policies since 1945. So with all these credentials, please tell us aboutworld peace! And Nobel Peace Prize Watch further argues: Millions of people, victims and survivors, will question or be seriously offended if Norway goes through with praise and honors to a person in the top ranks of the history of callous international state criminality. The suffering ordered or managed by Kissinger has led to increasing insecurity and violence for which all citizens of the world pay a high price.

Nika Knight is a staff writer for CommonDreams.org, where this article first appeared. would it be possible for the Nobel committee to award posthumously the Peace Prize to Adolf Hitler? Wow, No, but I have written him. The last letter I wrote to him was in August 2001, one month before the 911 attacks. And there was a reason for this. Anyway, if Kissinger ever gets the Nobel Peace Prize, I think they should present the award in a ceremony aboard a Chilean helicopter over the South Pacific, then throw him the Prize overboard. But still, he remains on the list of The Peace Prize award of 2016. What a shame on the West, firstly Mr. Obama, and now they do it again with Uncle Henry. That is a winning idea. Can we add Josef Stalin and the outgoing puppet President of the US? Contact me. I can supply more, although it is difficult to follow the act of the Henry Kissinger suggestion. Cray the beloved country. Keep writing! Suggestions will be flowing to add to yours of Adolf Hitler. I know that a Henry Kissinger suggestion will be a hard act to follow. Of course henry the jeep driver Kissinger is guilty. Its the goat worshipers that are happy about perpetual wars, made up from the drawing room floor or rather out of thin air as is the unFeds paper product they call money, We need some kind of app to keep track of all these pagans. How are the Satan worshipers related to the goat worshipers and the owl worshipers? H Kissinger and Satanist has earned a Death penalty Marvelous collection of Kissinger quotes! I am very old but still baffled how these individuals would ever be legitimately placed in positions of power. The weasel word here is legitimately. The fall of the Nobel Peace Prize is heart-breaking, but this cartel welds powerful money influence. It has, to my knowledge, purchased all historical centers. I am a direct descendant of a founder of this country and know from history when and who was admitted to the US after its founding. Henry certainly expresses his gratitude in a strange way, (even for a reported Satanist). Kissingers partners and friends now control our country There are 2% of them and 98% of us. Military men are dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy. Henry Kissinger in the book, Kiss the Boys Goodbye. The Nobel Peace Committee needs to be completely renewed. It is very obvious that they have strayed far from their founders ideals! 
3	6 Ways Too Much Screen Time May Be Bad for Your KidsBy Jeffrey Green Some countries consider childhood screen addiction to be a clinical disorder and have rehab facilities in which to treat the afflicted children. Too much screen time is bad for your kids health on many different levels and must be treated like any other addiction so the damage can be stopped, and hopefully reversed. Without question the electronic screens of many devices are causing a crisis of sleep deprivation for all age groups. However, the loss of sleep is most detrimental to children. Kids need more sleep than adults due to their developing body and mind. The average child needs 10-12 hours of sleep each night in order for them to grow and develop properly, but screen time is shaving off hours of that much-needed sleep time. The average child is constantly sleep deprived and trying to learn, grow and develop on 6-8 hours of sleep per night at the most. Children who sleep with electronic devices in the their bedroom get less sleep than those who leave the devices in another room of the home at night. Not only are the children playing games and texting when they should be asleep, but the blue light emitted from the devices hinders sleep even after the device is shut off. All electronics, including cell phones, tablets, iPads and TVs, emit a blue light from the screen. The body interprets that blue light as daylight and the brain sends out the signal to wake up. Instead of being sleepy at bedtime, the child is now wide awake even when the electronic screen is shut off. A kid who is suffering from sleep deprivation will typically be cranky, have an increased risk of obesity, have a short attention span, lack decision-making skills, have increased health problems, be lethargic and do poorly in school. And all of this can be traced back to too much screen time. The use of any device with an electronic screen seems to require the need to sit down, or at least be still, while using. The sedentary nature, combined with ads for high-calorie junk food, often leads to childhood obesity. Children are naturally full of energy and have an inborn need to run, jump and otherwise be active. When that normal desire to be active is curtailed and they sit on their haunches for hours on end, they will become overweight. Obesity leads to a variety of health problems, including diabetes, joint problems and heart disease. Childhood obesity is an epidemic in most countries, too much screen time is the biggest contributing factor to the epidemic. There used to be a 20/20/20 rule for those who had to spend long hours working in front of their computer screens every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. That 20/20/20 rule was implemented to help prevent eye strain and potential vision problems in the future. Kids wont take their eyes off the electronic screen for 20 seconds, even if they have heard of the 20/20/20 rule. Immediate eye strain and pain can occur from staring at the screen too long; and its too soon to know what type of vision problems the future may hold for those kids who have too much screen time now. Phone neck, text thumb and several other new medical terms had to be coined in order to describe the various aches and pains which are developing from too much screen time. The head, neck and wrists are often held at odd angles, and thumbs are used in ways they were never meant to be used just to accommodate an electronic device. It all adds up to childhood aches and pains which will worsen as the child becomes an adult. Back pain, arthritis, repetitive motion syndrome and migraines are just some of the chronic and often debilitating health problems a kid who has too much screen time today may develop in the future. Kids who spend too much time with electronics lack in normal social skills that are needed to help them develop into a well-rounded adult. While kids know their way around keypads, they dont know how to talk one-on-one to another person. Social skills, people skills and the ability to interact with others of all ages is lacking in kids who spend too much interacting with an electronic device and have limited face time with people. By not developing the ability to interact with others face-to-face, future adult relationships for the child will be impeded. Employment, romance, friendships and simple social etiquette will be limited and awkward if a child never develops normal social skills. Ask any child what their favorite video game is and in all probability it will involve violence. Even very young kids are drawn to games that use weapons to kill. The more violent and bloody, the more popular the video game typically becomes. That translates into aggression as the child becomes a teenager. Studies show that teens who spend a lot of time watching violent TV shows and/or playing violent video games are far more likely to be aggressive both in the home and at school. These aggressive teens fight with their siblings and peers, argue with teachers and parents and just always seems to be an outburst waiting to happen.

They do this to distract you from the real issues. Its 10 oclock.do you know what your government is up to?? Cannot be confirmed or validated? Why do you think they have developed laws against texting while driving? In my final note, I want to show the irony of your statement about people not knowing what their government is doing. If you cannot stop the PHONE from leading you around by the nose, how are you going to address a more serious problem? the comment wasnt meant for you. you do not have enough information to know what point i;m trying to makebecause its meant for activistpost. AP is just another gov operation. They have been censoring my comments over and over again. Ill try posting it again in another comment below. My point to them is that they enjoy censoring those who know what is going on this maniacal world. Thats because AP is part of the matrix. Most of them are. Get a clue, and stop slobbering retorts to those you know nothing about. Im not a fellow addict in denial. Im on the same side that you are choosing, I;m just a little bit smarter than you. Explains why your representatives are the way they are. Stupid is as stupid does. Seasonal greeting from your government: Have a scary christmas and a crappy new year. This is the elephant in the room that the typical american will scoff at and minimalize because they are one of the gadget addicts themselves. Einstein said, Finding the problem is more important than the solution We are still in denial. Have you seen the text speak on comment boards? We are losing our ability to spell and type correctly. Think how easy your kids will be to control with this kind of behavior and addiction. Mmmm well the little mind control gadgets are working quite well. Those who can not see this are themselves addicted and controlled by the T V, cell phone, and other various electronic gadgets like computers and so on. People are entertaining themselves to death and they are not aware of what is happening. Unfortunately those who are trapped in this are no longer aware that they are caught in the matrix. Being unaware they will follow the pied piper right off into oblivion. Those left behind will have a brave new world which will again have to evolve from a new beginning. It is possibly a de- evolution or inevitable result of the electronic lobotomy that has happened. There are those who will see this however they are a minority and most likely spiritually advanced enough to resist the temptation. The zombie apocalypse is before us right there in front of us and few see this methinks. Blessings from the serene mind 
1	After 15 years of undercover work, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced Monday that it is discontinuing its surveillance of mid-'80s pop star Rockwell. FBI director Louis Freeh announces the end of the agency's longtime Rockwell-surveillance program. 'We have finally determined to our satisfaction that Rockwell poses no significant threat to national security,' FBI director Louis Freeh told reporters at a press conference Monday. 'As a result, we are confident that he no longer needs watching.' Rockwell, who since 1983 has endured hidden-camera observations, phone-tappings and stakeouts at the hands of FBI agents, said he is 'not mollified' by the announcement. 'All I ever wanted was to be left alone, in my average home,' the former Motown recording artist told reporters. 'But for a decade and a half, the FBI made me feel like I was in the twilight zone. Nothing can ever give me back those years.' Rockwell, long derided for what was widely seen as paranoid delusion on his part, said he is owed an apology from 'a great many individuals.' A 1986 FBI surveillance-video image of Rockwell. 'People laughed at me when I told them I was being watched. They laughed when I told them I was afraid to wash my hair because I might open my eyes and find someone standing there,' said Rockwell, speaking in his trademark dandified, British-accented, quasi-rap style. 'But now, the world finally knows that my fears were justified all along.' The FBI's Rockwell-surveillance program reached its peak in 1986, when $22 million in federal funds was allocated for the observation of the singer. In total, more than $150 million has been spent on Rockwell-observation since 1983. Despite his lingering resentment and anger over the years spent under observation, Rockwell said he is excited about the future and looking forward to finally enjoying a normal existence. 'I'm just an average man with an average life,' said Rockwell, backed by a pulsating synthesizer track. 'But for years, I felt like I had no privacy. I felt like people were playing tricks on me. Thankfully, though, I am finally vindicated. My suspicions were correct all along.' 
1	Mark Goodson, executive producer of CBS's The Price Is Right, has delivered an ultimatum to President Clinton: Withdraw all occupying U.S. forces from the game show or face 'a war to make the continent weep.' <I>The Price Is Right</I>'s Bob Barker and Rod Roddy (above) are standing firm in the face of 4,000 U.S. soldiers and 60 tanks currently occupying the show's Burbank studio facility. Said Roddy: 'I never asked these troops to come on down.' The occupation, which began last spring in response to reports of treaty violations and human rights abuses on the part of the popular, long-running game show, has been building to a standoff for months. The U.S. is demanding an unconditional surrender on the part of The Price Is Right, including the full dismantling of the Range Game and the relinquishing of an undisclosed number of cans of Johnson's Turtle Wax. In an address last night to the American people, President Clinton said, 'I have made every attempt to prevent a military confrontation and will continue to do so. But if the fabulous 60-minute Price Is Right will not stand before a U.N. tribunal for the crimes of which they are accused, we cannot and will not acquiesce.' Promised Clinton, 'America is strong and her forces stand ready. This will not be another Tic Tac Dough.' Goodson was vehement in his refusal to cooperate. 'Television's most exciting hour of fun and prizes will not be cowed by the demands of heretics,' he said in a statement broadcast to U.S. markets via CBS affiliates. 'President Clinton, you have until the second Showcase Showdown to remove all U.S. troops from our studio and the surrounding lot or we shall no longer be responsible for their fate. God have mercy on you all.' The Price is Right, in which contestants win cash and prizes for estimating the prices of retail goods, has taken a considerably more somber turn in recent months. In the show's opening moments, flashing light bulbs border the screen as the audience is shown trembling in their seats and attempting not to make eye contact with the armed CBS pages who patrol the studio aisles. When contestants' names are read by the show's announcer, Rod Roddy, many faint or begin praying. Those who remain lucid walk quietly but visibly shaken to Contestant's Row, though one will occasionally attempt to subdue a guard and escape. Three contestants have been shot attempting this. Protests like this one in Portland, OR, have been occurring throughout the nation in response to the U.S.'s prolonged occupation of <I>The Price is Right</I>. A rescue attempt last month failed when a company of U.S. Marines infiltrated the audience and fired a rocket launcher at the set. Host Bob Barker and model Holly Robinson took shelter behind the Plinko board; two other Barker's Beauties died in the skirmish. Said Barker: 'The next item up for bid is... death!' The game show's military strength does not appear to have the Pentagon worried. U.S. Intelligence indicates its entire army has been cobbled together from merchandise intended as prizes. While impressive grenades have been jury-rigged from cans of Pam cooking spray, the show's most powerful land assault vehicle is a 1997 Cadillac de Ville equipped with 10-ounce bottles of Spray 'n' Wash and several dozen boxes of Hot Pockets. American citizens are concerned about the prospect of war with a highly rated TV game show. 'Nothing is worth spilling the blood of young Americans,' said Chicago-area investment banker Todd Gerhardt. 'Not even a Broyhill Herculon living room ensemble with matching Panasonic entertainment center.' Antiwar demonstrators have staked out the Capitol building bearing placards reading 'No Blood For Fabulous Prize Showcases.' Former President Jimmy Carter is being briefed by State Department officials in the hope that he can facilitate diplomatic relations to end the standoff. Carter's actions were instrumental in defusing the 151-day Hollywood Squares hostage crisis in 1979 and securing the release of celebrity panelist Paul Lynde. AP contributed to this story. 
3	Think Your Job is Safe from Robots? Youre in DenialBy Joshua Krause However, a new surge in automation is upon us, the likes of which we probably havent seen since the 1800s. With the rapid advancement of computer technology, coupled with slow economic growth and widespread calls for a higher minimum wage, never have companies had more motivation to automate, as well as the means to do so on a wide scale. In other words, many of the jobs that were once considered untouchable by robots, are about to disappear forever. By some estimates, nearly half of the jobs in the US may face automation over the next two decades. Many of the first jobs to go will be low wage professions, since the workers in those fields are the most adamant about raising the minimum wage. Unfortunately for them, the writing is already on the wall. Their jobs are already being replaced with machines. Just this week it was revealed that the first automated grocery store was opened in Sweden. And Dominos just unveiled a new pizza delivery robot in Australia. However, automation certainly isnt going to end with these low-wage positions, and a lot of people are deluding themselves about that fact. But even as we face the prospect of increasing automation, and fewer employment opportunities, most American workers remain confident perhaps too confident. A look at some new numbers from Pew Research Center shows that worker sentiment toward the future speaks not just to inflated confidence, but perhaps a sense of denial. The Pew brief cites a 2013 study from Oxford University, which says that as much as 47% of American jobs are subject to automation in the near future. In other words, as much as half of the American work force may be facing a serious employment crisis, and were really doing nothing about it. Using that as a starting point, Pew surveyed Americans to drill further down into this dilemma, and see how Americans feel about the unnerving prospect of mass automation. As expected, a majority (two-thirds) do expect that within 50 years, robots and computers will take over most of the menial work from human employees. But and heres the big hang-up a majority of workers also think that their own specific professions or jobs wont be impacted. 65% percent of Americans understand that automation is going to wipe out nearly half of the job market, but 80% are at least fairly confident that their job wont be automated in the next 50 years. I suppose its human nature. We all want to believe that our jobs are too sophisticated for a robot. Its not only frightening to think that we could lose our jobs, but in a sense, also insulting to think that our jobs are simple enough for software to take care of. However, we all need a reality check. Take a look at this job index. You can look up pretty much any kind of profession, and itll tell you the likelihood of that job becoming automated. Theres a good chance that youre going to be shocked to find that youre very replaceable at your workplace. Im a writer, and even my job had a 33% chance of facing some degree of automation. Theres a massive wave of layoffs and automation coming, and even some jobs that require problem solving and creativity may not be spared. Are you ready for that eventuality?

2	Firearms Company Destroys Liam Neeson After He Speaks Out Against America Taken 3 actor Liam Neeson has been making headlines throughout his promotion of the film for using his interviews to express anti-gun sentiments. The comments come as a response to the terrorist attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. First off, my thoughts and prayers and my heart are with the deceased, and certainly with all of France. Ive got a lot of dear friends in Parison, Neeson commented following the attack. Theres too many f*cking guns out there. Especially in America. I think the population is like 320 million? Privately owned in America. I think its a f*cking disgrace. Every week now were picking up a newspaper and seeing, Yet another few kids have been killed in schools. His comments immediately sparked controversy, and many deemed the actor hypocritical, as the main character in his upcoming movie proudly owns guns. Now, PARA USA, the firearms company that provided weapons for the stunt, is speaking out against him. PARA USA regrets its decision to provide firearms for use in the film Taken 3, the company wrote in a Facebook post. While the film itself is entertaining, comments made by its Irish-born star during press junkets reflect a cultural and factual ignorance that undermines support of the Second Amendment and American liberties. We will no longer provide firearms for use in films starring Liam Neeson, the company concluded, and ask that our friends and partners in Hollywood refrain from associating our brand and product with his projects. Further, we encourage our partners and friends in the firearms industry to do the same. What do you think of PARA USAs decision to ban Neeson? Would you do the same? 
3	Where IS Spring 2015?Catherine J. Frompovich Its now the last day of March 2015, and not very much natural spring-like activity is happening around Southeastern Pennsylvania where I live. Everything is very late this year, and spring definitely has been getting later year after year, or so it seems. Ive not seen any forsythia yet; it usually opened its beautiful yellow flowers sometime early in March in years past. Where are the wild marsh buttercups that would carpet entire acres of fields that abut to flowing streams with cheerful golden hues? Where is the wild skunk cabbage that rose up majestically, seemingly overnight, down by the woodland stream? No sight of that either! Some robins have arrived in towna little late, toobut not many other seasonal birds, whose lovely morning prayer songs I would awaken to, are to be seen or heard. The grassif you can call it thatis so burned from whatever was in the horrendous snowfall this past winter, that it made the rolling lawns in the condo where I live, look burned. In years past, lawns would be greening up by now! In my Southeastern section of Pennsylvania, weve had a constant deep snow covering since Januaryfrozen rock hardwith almost daily increments from new fallen snow and ice! The ice this winter was more than anyone wanted to encounter. The snow left funny circles on my cars windshield after a nights snowfall. Never remembered anything like that in my 76 years! Furthermore, the earth and fields cannot accommodate the traditional St. Patricks Day (March 17th) planting date for peas, green onions, and other early crops. The earth was more like cement rather than fertile, plant-life-growing soil! In years past, the heating system would be gearing down by now; currently, its still running like it did in February! The skies are leaden-gray and nasty lookingvery little sunshine comes our way in Pennsylvania. We have nothing but dark, foreboding skies, and on those few days when the sun is visible for short periods, theres those damn planes spraying chemtrails from one end of the horizon to the other, doing their weather geoengineering shtick! Snow is forecast for the northern suburbs overnight! Home gardeners will not be able to grow food this season because of all the wet-out thats being programmed, I predict. Back yard food gardens either wont get planted, or if they get planted late, will be drowned out by all the rain that will come, if this past winters precipitation has been any indicator of what the weather planners have in mind for the East Coast. All this while California is dry, dry, dry! Personally, Im beginning to wonder about our food supply in the USA. Crops are being impacted on many levels. Citizens ought to become concerned about the future of food for many reasons: availability, nutrition content, but even more soits toxic ingredients from all the chemtrails being sprayed and rained down upon us. Whatever you do, please dont allow your children to eat snow. Dont play in the rainits totally toxic. Start considering the real problems with weather geoengineering, as they are quite apparent to us on the East and West Coasts. Dont think that anywhere in between its safe eitherits not! The website Stop Spraying California states, Open air Chemtrail spraying operations are now live in California (all 50 states and all NATO countries). Independent analysis of chemtrail fallout has identified many toxic chemicals including and they are listed. Please study their implications, and resolve to contacting local, state and federal authorities about stopping chemtrails. Heres a Chemtrail Reporting System called Sky Watch Map, which readers may want to use to make reports of chemtrails in your skies. Please watch this frightening video to learn that air traffic controllers dont know where Air Force chemtrail tankers are flying! More about weather geoengineering is at GeoengineeringWatch.org http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/global-weather-modification-assault-cau So, where the heck is Congress? Well, heres a chance to let them know. On Saturday, April 25, 2015, there will be the next GLOBAL MARCH against Chemtrails and Geoengineering. More information can be found about it here.

Precession moves equinox/solstice a day every sixty two years a gradual shift, but operating on a macroscopic scale. http://www.sciencecourseware.org/eec/GlobalWarming/Tutorials/Milankovitch/ There will be the odd titanic shift, (a climate change if you like) and all things being equal, xmas day in the N hemisphere will one day be celebrated with a barby on the beach. Scientism in his prison Clueless, come and fargone. So sad , up here in canada we also are seeing nothing but hazy skies all morning with spraying off and on all day , I have talked to the head of the enviroment ( government talking head ) and he did dmit that spraying is taking place ( for the enviroment to head off global warming of course ) this was two years ago and still the spraying is on going . And spring here has not come yet either . This is the single most important thing happening in the world today . Stay safe all . Having passed legislation last week that usurps private water rights, establishes an elaborate tax on water users through fines, allows for state control over water placed in the hands of corporations and cronies, and insures Monsantos California AG insurance company was fully funded, we seem to be getting a break from blanketed chemtrail activity. If the attack on California subsides and geoengineering stops over the Pacific and state, the East Coast will return to normal climate conditions. The realization that the drought is geoengineered is spreading through higher ed institutions, legal institutions, and the general public in California. Lets hope our deviant governor stops the destruction of both the East and the West before things get really ugly. I live in CA too and have noticed that most of the time when there is even a scant chance of any moisture, we are hosed down from above and milky white skies from horizon to horizon. Oh, and of course the moisture just dries up and we have unseasonable santa anas. My orientation is from the Central Coast/Valley. you appear to be in So Cal. where El Ninio is managed, or should I say being destroyed. I noticed with the change in the magnetic field, after the chemtrails stopped, I experienced intense fatigue and after a day of rest time literally seemed to slow down. I felt normal for the first time in months, not anxious, could take deep breaths of fresh air, and function without feeling stiff or off balance. I am prepared for the next wave, I mist white vinegar to control chemtrail particulates, but the magnetic influence is intensifying with far more influence on my perception of reality as well as how I move through time and space, We know weather modification is only one of seven applications where geoengineering is used ..so declaring freedom from the governors torture is most likely premature. but mr. deviant has been put on notice he isnt getting away with it.everybody knows. My sympathies for your suffering. Down here I notice metallic tastes in my mouth, waves of headaches, burning eyes and unshakeable fatigue. I take zeolite which helps. Ill try misting the white vinegar. And.. the snow was just staring to melt in the French Alps, when the kooky German copilot killed all aboard.. Lufthansa has emails from the kooky copilot stating he was kooky! Smart fltying instructors in Arizona, where kooky trained, stated he was not fir to fly, must be onhis record. German quacks who filled kooky up with meds. must surely have told Lufthansa they had a kooky on board, and if they had not informed Lufthansa, then they too are cuplable. Boycott Lufthnsa and Germanwings. Sorry, slight topic change. Not sorry, no topic change, no plane, no dead, no pilots, no medications, the scams go on and the sheople sleep on. Two-feet hailstorms in cities just off the EQUATOR! within the last month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BqKlUYQfnsfeature=player_embedded#t=107 Come on down to central VA. Im not going to tell you theres no chemtrails, but weve had some sunny, warm days of late. It was in the upper 60s this afternoon, as I soaked up some D, drank a coffee stout and smoked a cigar! Not being callous or anything; just trying to find something to enjoy and trying to spread the sunshine your way I hear you, Catherine; I used to live in SE Pennsylvania years ago, but moved to N Virginia in late 1983, and to Central Maryland 11 years later, I also lived in Rogoznica, Croatia in 1996-97; then, moved back to Maryland. I live halfway between Washington, DC and Baltimore; and, yes, this past winter has been extremely cold February being the worst. The blame, of course, was on the Arctic Vortex (there were two, I believe) that swept down from Canada, through the Midwest, and then, the East Coast. Notice how there seems to be less moisture in the air? Geoengineering places nano-sized particulates into the air to attract water molecules to cause rain, right? These crimes must be exposed and the perpetrators arrested and held accountable for them(.) I enjoy her writing style, but the line Catherine retired from researching and writing, but felt compelled to write this article. is a little silly, viewed almost every other day.

1	On the heels of the Ronald Reagan Airport and U.S.S. Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, citizens can now vote for one of two portraits of the former president to adorn the U.S. Mint's upcoming $15 bill. 'Choose either the young, General Electric Theater-era Reagan or the older, second-term-president Reagan,' U.S Mint Deputy Director John Mitchell said Monday. Citizens may cast ballots at any FDIC-member bank. All voters will receive a commemorative LeRoy Neiman poster of Reagan delivering his 1981 inaugural address. 
1	President Bush met with members of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory research team Monday to discuss a mathematical error he recently discovered in the famed laboratory's 'Improved Determination Of Tau Lepton Paths From Inclusive Semileptonic B-Meson Decays' report. Bush shows Fermilab scientists where they went wrong in their calculations. 'I'm somewhat out of my depth here,' said Bush, a longtime Fermilab follower who describes himself as 'something of an armchair physicist.' 'But it seems to me that, when reducing the perturbative uncertainty in the determination of Vub from semileptonic Beta decays, one must calculate the rate of Beta events with a standard dilepton invariant mass at a subleading order in the hybrid expansion. The Fermilab folks' error, as I see it, was omitting that easily overlooked mathematical transformation and, therefore, acquiring incorrectly re-summed logarithmic corrections for the b-quark mass. Obviously, such a miscalculation will result in a precision of less than 25 percent in predicting the resulting path of the tau lepton once the value for any given decaying tau neutrino is determined.' The Bush correction makes it possible for scientists to further study the tau lepton, a subatomic particle formed by the collision of a tau neutrino and an atomic nucleus. Bush resisted criticizing the Fermilab scientists responsible for the error, saying it was 'actually quite small' and that 'anyone could have made the mistake.' 'High-energy physics is a complex and demanding field, and even top scientists drop a decimal point or two every now and then,' Bush said. 'Also, I might hasten to add that what I pointed out was more a correction of method than of mathematics. Experimental results on the Tevatron accelerator would have exposed the error in time, anyway.' Fermilab director Michael Witherell said the president was being too modest 'by an order of magnitude.' Bush circles the crucial misstep. 'In addition to gently reminding us that even the best minds in the country are occasionally fallible, President Bush has saved his nation a few million dollars,' Witherell said. 'We would have made four or five runs on the particle accelerator with faulty data before figuring out what was wrong. But, thanks to Mr. Bush, we're back on track.' 'It's true, I dabbled in the higher maths during my Yale days,' said Bush, who spent three semesters as an assistant to Drs. Kasha and Slaughter at Yale's renowned Sloane High-Energy Physics Lab. 'But I didn't have the true gift for what Gauss called 'the musical language in which is spoken the very universe.' If I have any gift at all, it's my instinct for process and order.' Continued Bush: 'As much as I enjoyed studying physics at Yale, by my junior year it became apparent that I could far better serve humanity through a career in statecraft.' While he says he is 'flattered and honored' by the tau-neutrino research team's request that he review all subsequent Fermilab publications on lepton-path determination, Bush graciously declined the 'signal honor.' 'This sort of thing is best left to the likes of [Thomas] Becher and [Matthias] Neubert, not a dilettante such as myself,' Bush said. 'I just happened to have some time on the plane coming back from the European G8 summit, decided to catch up on some reading, and spotted one rather small logarithmic branching-ratio misstep in an otherwise flawless piece of scientific scholarship. Anyone could have done the same.'

3	Cannabis Legalization Government Funded Research Halts the War on CannabisPatrick Gallagher Hundreds and hundreds of studies have been conducted in the past, revealing the healing powers of the plant, considered at the very least questionable by the standards of the DEA and the FDA even with concrete evidence shining a positive light on the relationship between marijuana and cancer. The evidence suggests that the plant heals cancer, is far less deadly than normal pharmaceuticals, and that the benefits of medical marijuana could even be comprised on beneficial lung health with use. So then why is marijuana illegal? Why is cannabis legalization such a difficult change to reach? [It] is neither based upon nor guided by science. In fact, it is hostile to science. And despite the Obama Administrations well publicized memo stating science and the scientific process must inform and guide decisions of my administration, there is little to no evidence that the governments see no evil; hear no evil approach to cannabis policy is not changing any time soon. The evidence supplied in the study showed a direct correlation between the use of marijuana on patients with multiple sclerosis and the amount of general relief felt with the patients compared to similar trials where placebos were used. The scientists also specifically studied the effect on a person when smoked, noting that the delivery method was both rapid and efficient, but has a distinctive health deficit due to the carbon monoxide produced by the hot smoke. The study also notes that there are side effects, as is the case with most modern medicine, that go along with the ingestion of cannabis, including dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, muscle weakness and heart palpations. Those who are at risk of cardiovascular disease or disorder already may be at a greater risk if they are given cannabis, but generally the effects are mild, and may even be less obvious or detrimental over the course of time. The study also noted that in this particular trial, no deaths occurred from an overdose of THC. The evidence found in these trials is very similar to those found in other trials, but with this one in particular is different due to the fact that they tested the effect of smoked cannabis as opposed to vaporized, which is generally considered to be the safest method of delivery. The conclusion was that more trials need to be conducted, and that other parts of the plant may be used to treat a variety of other ailments. The drug may not be for everyone, but it is evident that cannabis legalization should be achieved.

3	Too Big To Fail Banks Are Taking Over As Number Of U.S. Banks Falls To All-Time Record LowMichael Snyder Meanwhile, the too big to fail banks just keep on getting even bigger. In fact, the six largest banks in the United States (JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley) have collectively gotten 37 percent larger over the past five years. If even one of those banks collapses, it would be absolutely crippling to the U.S. economy. If several of them were to collapse at the same time, it could potentially plunge us into an economic depression unlike anything that this nation has ever seen before. Incredibly, there were actually more banks in existence back during the days of the Great Depression than there are today. According to the Wall Street Journal, the federal government has been keeping track of the number of banks since 1934 and this year is the very first time that the number has fallen below 7,000 The number of federally insured institutions nationwide shrank to 6,891 in the third quarter after this summer falling below 7,000 for the first time since federal regulators began keeping track in 1934, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Unfortunately, the closing of bank branches appears to be accelerating. The number of bank branches in the U.S. declinedby 390 during the third quarter of 2013 alone, and it is being projected that the number of bank branches in the U.S. could fall by as much as 40 percent over the next decade. Can you guess where most of the bank branches are being closed? If you guessed poor neighborhoods you would be correct. According to Bloomberg, an astounding 93 percent of all bank branch closings since late 2008 have been in neighborhoods where incomes are below the national median household income Banks have shut 1,826 branches since late 2008, and 93 percent of closings were in postal codes where the household income is below the national median, according to census and federal banking data compiled by Bloomberg. It turns out that opening up checking accounts and running ATM machines for poor people just isnt that profitable. The executives at these big banks are very open about the fact that they love affluent customers, and there is never a shortage of bank branches in wealthy neighborhoods. But in many poor neighborhoodsit is a very different story About 10million U.S. households lack bank accounts, according to a study released in September by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. An additional 24million are underbanked, using check-cashing services and other storefront businesses for financial transactions. The Bronx in New York City is the nations second most underbanked large countybehind Hidalgo County in Texaswith 48percent of households either not having an account or relying on alternative financial providers, according to a report by the Corporation for Enterprise Development, an advocacy organization for lower-income Americans. And if you are waiting for a whole bunch of new banks to start up to serve these poor neighborhoods, you can just forget about it. Because of a whole host of new rules and regulations that have been put on the backs of small banks over the past several years, it has become nearly impossible to start up a new bank in the United States. In fact,only one new bank has been started in the United States in the last three years. So the number of banks is going to continue to decline. 1,400 smaller banks have quietly disappeared from the U.S. banking industry over the past five years alone. We are witnessing a consolidation of the banking industry in America that is absolutely unprecedented. Just consider the following statistics. These numbers come from a recent CNN article As you can see, without those banks we do not have a financial system. Our entire economy is based on debt, and if those banks were to disappear the flow of credit would dry up almost completely. Without those banks, we would rapidly enter an economic depression unlike anything that the United States has seen before. It is kind of like a patient that has such an advanced case of cancer that if you try to kill the cancer you will inevitably also kill the patient. That is essentially what our relationship with these big banks is like at this point. Unfortunately, since the last financial crisis the too big to fail banks have become even more reckless. Right now, four of the too big to fail banks each have total exposure to derivatives that is well in excess of 40 TRILLION dollars. Keep in mind that U.S. GDP for the entire year of 2012 was just 15.7 trillion dollars and the U.S. national debt is just 17 trillion dollars. So when you are talking about four banks that each have more than 40 trillion dollars of exposure to derivatives you are talking about an amount of money that is almost incomprehensible. Posted below are the figures for the four banks that I am talking about. I have written about this in the past, but in this article I have included the very latest updated numbers from the U.S. government. I think that you will agree that these numbers are absolutely staggering JPMorgan Chase Citibank Bank Of America Goldman Sachs Please dont just gloss over those huge numbers. Let them sink in for a moment. Goldman Sachs has total assets worth approximately 113 billion dollars (billion with a little b), but they have more than 43 TRILLON dollars of total exposure to derivatives. That means that the total exposure that Goldman Sachs has to derivatives contracts is more than 381 times greater than their total assets. Most Americans do not understand that Wall Street has been transformed into the largest casino in the history of the world. The big banks are being incredibly reckless with our money, and if they fail it will bring down the entire economy. The biggest chunk of these derivatives contracts that Wall Street banks are gambling on is made up of interest rate derivatives. According to the Bank for International Settlements, the global financial system has a total of 441 TRILLION dollars worth of exposure to interest rate derivatives. When that Ponzi scheme finally comes crumbling down, there wont be enough money on the entire planet to fix it. We had our warning back in 2008. The too big to fail banks were in the headlines every single day and our politicians promised to fix the problem. But instead of fixing it, the too big to fail banks are now 37 percent larger and our economy is more dependent on them than ever before. And in their endless greed for even larger paychecks, they have become insanely reckless with all of our money. Mark my words there is going to be a derivatives crisis. When it happens, we are going to see some of these too big to fail banks actually fail. At that point, there will be absolutely no hope for the U.S. economy. We willingly allowed the too big to fail banks to become the core of our economic system, and now we are all going to pay the price. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

3	Canada Has Their Own Ugly Version of Americas Stop and FriskBy Amanda Warren In the U.S. getting carded asked for ID when buying alcohol or cigarettes can either be an annoying occurrence or a little self-esteem boost depending on age. Carding, however, is an ominous word in Canada because its their word for stop and frisk which is regarded as controversial. Its conducted differently there (see below). The efforts to unite and stop police brutality and press for accountability have been fragmented by blurring the actions and highlighting them as racism. However, when it comes to carding, race does play a role because it includes profiling the next victim of harassment, just as in stop and frisk. Torontos new and first black police chief is finding it a little difficult to explain to the entire community why carding and profiling are necessary. Carding is also called street checks by police, involves interrogation and ends with request for ID and recording the persons information. But the ID is not why its called carding. From National Post: The Canadian Civil Liberties Union says, This is a national issue Policies are very much needed to restrict police activities when they dont have grounds to detain somebody. Although Chief Mark Saunders is firmly sticking with carding practices he does so despite growing ire, especially among black Canadians who feel targeted. After just four days into the job, and after being pressed at the African Canadian Summit in North York, he said: From Toronto Sun: It was the first time residents demanded a stop to it. He minimized their concernsand never used the term, carding in the initial speech: He calls what the police do with carding social costs and vowed community safety, although one audience member said that was code for over policing.If anybody thinks tomorrow is a new day, its not, he said. Instead, he vaguely promised incremental changes, focus on officer training, wanting to eliminate the idea of random stops (whatever that means), and future talks with community leaders but he is adamantly going forth with carding. He said arguing about how policies are worded wasnt going to bring any change change wouldnt happen over night. I think Canadians dont care so much about the word, but the actions. This guy is a wordsmith and a master him-hawer. He is telling Ontario residents to expect nothing by complicating his words about how complicated law is too complicated for them to understand, apparently. This is what master manipulators do when faced with a direct demand. Plus, they try to look appeasing while getting their agenda. Regardless, carding will continue, he says. We need intelligence for gang culture, he says outright to the people repeatedly abused by police and not feeling safe at all. Even with increased public pressure to stop the practice, Canadian officials are painting the practice as vital intelligence gathering. As you might imagine, some people are repeatedly targeted for interrogation, 50 times in one case, even though the intelligence gathered on cards and repeat encounters should let officers know about the person. Repeat encounters instill paranoia and distrust. Which, of course, signals that the police are actually picking on people they target. Whats in my file? people are left to wonder. Its based on the officers perception. Stop and frisk or carding should be ended immediately, regardless of what name it goes by or in what manner it is performed. No matter what TV tells us, people have a right to travel and walk unmolested; they are presumed innocent until proven guilty. They are not to be harassed and molested for thought crimes based on how they look or on an officers whim and career boost. The same person should not be harassed for the rest of his or her life because of God-given appearances. You cant end crime with a crime. With full rights and freedom, people of good character get to bask in that freedom and maintain their personal power. With law enforcement acting as Orwellian authority instead of public servant, and taking aside whomever they please, the dream is a nightmare with cartels run amok who have all the power. See the Campaign to Stop Police Carding Now at StopPoliceCarding.com. I highly recommend this editorial which explains how the problem grew out of control and also shows how Canadians are getting just as sick of these practices as we are. Children are subject to carding too to the point where they need their own legal defense!

Criminal liability generally requires not only causing a prohibited harm or evil . . . but also a particular state of mind, an act done with bad purpose or evil intent. Therefore, it is essential to substantiate my intent for not filing, which is to: 4. The Fifth Amendment states No person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself. The landmark case regarding the Fifth Amendment and income tax is Sullivan v. U.S. [274 U.S. 259]. Sullivan Took the Fifth, I refuse to file on the ground that I may tend to incriminate myself. The Supreme Court ruled that if Sullivan wished to Take the Fifth he first had to file. However, Taking the Fifth is absolutely, fundamentally different than our constitutional right not to be a witness against oneself. The former is a privilege, used primarily if subpoenaed in anothers trial, the latter is a right guaranteed by our Constitution. Sullivan was required to file because he erred and claimed a privilege instead of insisting on his right. We supposedly have to file because Sullivan had to. Our government is exploiting our confusion of right v. privilege to subvert the Constitution and force us to file. 5. In Boyd v. U.S. [116 U.S. 616] the Supreme Court ruled A taxpayer may refuse to exhibit his/her books and records for examination on the grounds that compelling him/her to do so might violate his/her right under the Fifth Amendment and constitute an illegal search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment. 6. The title of Section 6012 of the IRC proclaims Persons required to make returns of income. 7. The IRC defines a withholding agent at IRC 7701(a) as only required to deduct and withhold income tax from nonresident aliens and foreign corporations. Therefore, no law requires withholding income tax from citizens living in America. Also, every year millions of citizens pay estimated income tax while their exemption is hidden deep in the IRC. Title 26, Subtitle f, Chapter 68, Subchapter A, Part 1, Section 6654 of the IRC states Failure by individual to pay estimated income tax (e) Exceptions (2c) If the individual was a citizen or resident of the United States throughout the preceding year. 8. In fact, the IRS has insisted for decades that filing a return and paying income tax is based on voluntary compliance. In 1971 the 1040 booklet declared Each year American taxpayers voluntarily file their tax returns and make a special effort to pay the taxes they owe. The 1980 1040 booklet stated The primary task of the IRS is to collect taxes under a voluntary compliance system. Websters defines voluntary as something done of ones own free will, without legal obligation. 9. In 1953 Dwight E. Avis, then Director of the Alcohol and Tobacco Division of the IRS, testified under oath, before Congress, that Your income tax is 100% voluntary tax and your liquor tax is 100% enforced tax. Now the situation is as different as night and day. [Hearings: Internal Revenue Investigation] 10. The Supreme Court ruled in Cheek v. U.S. [498 U.S. 192] that in relationship to income tax, A good faith misunderstanding of the law or a good-faith belief that one is not violating the law negates willfulness, whether or not the claimed belief or misunderstanding is objectively reasonable. 11. While this treatise proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, that I am not required to file, the Supreme Court has ruled, thus it is a law of this land, that I need not be legally correct. I need only possess a sincere belief. As I have revealed why, as my actions have proven, I have a good faith belief that I am not required to file, thus my failure to file is not willful. 12.

3	Reuters Accidentally Exposes Thai Regimes SupportersWestern media exposes Thai regimes supporters as manipulated enclave of impoverished, uneducated rice farmers occupying Khmer Rouge-style red villages who want anti-regime protesters dead. Reuters, in perhaps an attempt to prop up the crumbling WallStreet-backed regime in Bangkok, Thailand, has attempted to portray it as a popular, democratically elected government. What its article, Thailands red-shirt heartland hides its strength, ends up doing instead, is exposing the regimes support base as a pitiful, forsaken segment of Thai society, manipulated and exploited for now over a decade to build up an unassailable voting block and violent personality cult upon which the Thaksin Shinawatra regime stands. Reuters report claims: As thousands of largely middle-class Thais flood Bangkok streets in protests aimed at overthrowing the government of the populist Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, one volatile factor has been largely absent from the streets: the red-shirted protesters who helped bring her to power. But in the background, the red shirts remain a potent force, despite being hobbled by a bitterly divided leadership and the atrophy that comes with more than two years of their side being in power. Image: Real protesters. About 1,500 anti-regime protesters gather in front of the provincial hall in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) on Thursday afternoon. (Photo by Prasit Tangprasert) Korat is considered the gateway to Issan, the northeastern region once considered the exclusive domain of the Shinawatra regime. Locals are now breaking down the barriers of fear after years of violence and intimidation used to keep the silent majority silent. It also attempts to explain why, thus far, counter rallies organized by the Shinawatra regime, have been dwarfed by anti-regime protests. Reuters continues, mentioning the bizarre red villages dictator Thaksin Shinawatra has created to oust the opposition and intimidate dissenters: Hua Khua is one thousands of communities that movement leaders call Red Shirt Villages. These days, this means little more than one tattered office bearing Thaksins image. But support here for the government runs high. Love for Thaksin stems from pro-poor policies during his time in power, including easy credit and near-free healthcare. More recently, his sisters government has maintained support with a rice subsidy scheme, which has been derided by the opposition. The economy in the northeast grew 40 percent between 2007 and 2011, nearly twice the national average. There are some signs support may have slipped a little. A survey by the Isaan Poll Project, run out of the city of Khon Kaen, found Puea Thais support in the northeast dropped from 80 percent after her 2011 election to about 64 percent in the third quarter of this year. Of course, between 2007-2011, the Shinawatra regime was not actually in office, but their main opposition, the Democrats were. Yingluck Shinawatra came to power in 2011, and since then, the economy has faltered, particualry because of unsustainable, vote-buying populist schemes. The Bangkok Post reported that the losses for the 2011/2012 season were estimated at around 140 billion baht and a staggering 210 billion baht for the 2012/2013 season. The Bangkok Posts article, Govt accepts it will lose on rice quoted Jac Luyendijk, CEO at Swiss Agri Trading SA, who stated: We have to keep in mind that with these increasing rice stocks in Thailand, the problem will become bigger and bigger. Once Thailand unloads its stockpile we will look to very depressed rice prices for years to come. One can only guess as to why Reuters is intentionally misleading readers. Perhaps, just like TIME magazine recently did, it is accepting money from Thaksin Shinawatras vast army of Washington lobbyists to write stories in support of his dictatorship. Reuters then articulates perhaps the most revealing piece of the narrative by stating: The red rallies have been limited in size by the fact that the rice harvest is now on, tying up much of the protest muscle in the fields, leaders and members say. But if the crisis drags on, and harvest time ends, that should no longer be a factor. Reuters admits that currently the regime is busing in regime supporters: Red shirts have been bussed in their thousands for regular rallies at Rajamangala Stadium, in a Bangkok suburb far from the government buildings being targeted by their opponents. A major gathering is planned for Saturday evening. It appears that Reuters concedes that the regimes support base are predominantly impoverished rice farmers from the countrys northeast, notorious for its lack of infrastructure including proper schools. It also concedes that the regime is busing in supporters, indicating that what little support the regime is able to show to the world, is support it itself has organized, not grassroots. Photos: Regimes supporters. Top: True believers in democracy? Machete wielding thugs during 2009s failed insurrection. Bottom: The establishment of politically exclusive zones called red villages and red districts where Thaksin is literally declaring political monopolies and intimidating opposition from expressing themselves. While the Thaksin denies this is their intent there have been horrific incidents of violence throughout Thaksins northeast epicenter of support, including the infamous hacking to death of a radio DJs father after speaking ill of the UDD covered in an interview with red shirt propagandist Kanyapak Maneejak (DJ Aom) of Thaksins Chiang Mai Rak 51 faction. Kanyapak states that red shirt mobs were simply following their hearts when they butchered the old man outside the gates of his own home. What Reuters, TIME, and other western media organizations have attempted to do, is portray the regimes supporters as pro-democracy and its opponents as anti-democracy. Are we to believe that the only people in Thailand, some 15 million who voted for the Shinawatra regime out of a population of 65 million, are the only ones capable of comprehending and appreciating real democracy? Of course not in reality what the regime has done is targeted a forsaken region in the country, plagued by economic problems and mired in a cycle of poverty driven by a lack education and opportunities, and exploited it rather than lifting it out of these conditions. The supporters the regime is busing in are still pitifully impoverished, poorly educated, and clearly exhibiting dangerous signs of cultism built up around the personality of billionaire, mass murdering fugitive Thaksin Shinawatra. And like all regime-backed cults of personality, the violence of the red shirts is notorious. Image: Pro-regime red shirts assault anti-regime protesters near Pathum Thani provincial hall. Another incidentoccurred in the regime stronghold of Samut Prakan, where 300 pro-regime supporters attempted to attack some 3,000 anti-regime protesters. While Reuters claims the red shirts have thus far avoided confronting anti-regime protesters, mob leaders havealready attempted to clash with protesters at several locations. Only quick action by the police and the fact that pro-regime mobs were outnumbered by anti-regime protesters, prevented the sort of bloodshed typical with red shirt gatherings. In the few instances where pro-regime thugs had similar numbers, injuries were reported. Perhaps most chilling is Reuters quotes of villagers it claims to have interviewed. In regards to the anti-regime protesters it stated: Squatting on flat feet, their faces drawn with exhaustion from harvesting rice, Chantee Sanwang and Nang Laor still had the energy to tussle over who loathes Thailands anti-government protesters more. I really hate them, said Chantee, a rail-thin 65 year-old grandmother with teeth stained red by betel nut. Nang, also 65, refused to be outdone. I want them dead, she countered, sending both into wheezy hysterics. Of course, a cult of personality standing in support of a regime, scarcely will think for itself. If regime supporters have said it, it is because the regimes demagogues have told them to. A former Reuters journalist, now hired pen of Thaksin Shinawatras lobbyist, Robert Amsterdam, has recently revealed plans by the regime to use violence to discredit the growing mass of protesters. He stated on his Facebook page that: Thaksin Shinawatras secret black shirt force of provocateurs, mostly made up of navy SEALS and marines, is back on the streets again for the first time since May 2010 and has infiltrated Sutheps rabble. If protests escalate they will seek to incite deadly violence ahead of King Bhumibols birthday to discredit Suthep and his movement for good. The regime itself has admitted, according to Bangkoks Nation in their article, Govt ups ante in publicity battle with protesters, that (emphasis added): We have rejected several parties demands for a House dissolution. The partys [Thaksins Peua Thai Party] urgent strategy is to create fear among the public that the anti-government protests are violating the law, the source said. This open conspiracy most likely is intended to terrorize protesters into staying home on Sunday, December 1, the day of yet another mass mobilization. Previously, hundreds of thousands of protesters choked the streets of Bangkok, dwarfing pro-regime rallies by several factors even at their absolute heights. A second rally of this scale would be devastating for the embattled regime. However, now, if violence does occur in an attempt to discredit protesters, it will be blamed squarely on the regime who, according to a former Reuters journalist, has now openly conspired to mass murder dissenters. While the West stands silent with hypocrisy and complicity, the Thai Army will have the justification needed to finally mobilize and remove the regime, just as was down in Egypt regarding Muslim Brotherhood arch-terrorist/dictator and Wall Street proxy, Mohammed Morsi.

This Changes Everything [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a former FBI agent who has been investigating Sandy Hook has just come forward with some information that could change everything. Ever since the Sandy Hook shooting allegedly occurred in December 2012, it has been used by anti-gun activists in attempts to limit our second amendment rights. Given the political reports in the media, there have been many questions as to whether the incident truly occurred. A number of inconsistencies in the story have led many to believe that the massacre was actually a government conspiracy or a hoax. One FBI report, for instance, states that nobody was murdered at Sandy Hook. Another report states that the same person died in both Sandy Hook and the Boston bombing. Now, the agent has come forward to describe the Sandy Hook proceedings as very strange, claiming that hed never seen anything like this before. What do you think? Are we being lied to about Sandy Hook? 
1	According to a statement released Thursday by the Chicago Cubs front office, fans of the 136-year-old baseball franchise are now too fat to attend home games. The statementwhich confirmed that members of the team's fan base are no longer able to fit into stadium seating and, even if they could, are physically unable to walk up the number of steps necessary to get to their seatsconfirmed that Wrigley Field would temporarily close until alterations could be made to accommodate the obese fans. 'The average weight of a Cubs fan is between 375 and 425 pounds,' team president Theo Epstein said in the statement, adding that while there are still a few fans whose weight does not prevent them from attending games, there aren't nearly enough to fill the seats, because all of them are tourists. 'One person filling up two or three seats throughout the entire bleacher section is not a sustainable business model. And we don't have enough room to accommodate all of our fans' motorized scooters.' 'The bottom line is that Wrigley is an old stadium never intended to hold 41,000 morbidly obese people,' Epstein continued. 'If we keep forcing it to support that much weight, it could very well collapse.' Stadium-limitations aside, sources close to the team, as well as medical personnel, have confirmed that it's physically dangerous for Cubs fans to attend games, mainly because it would involve them being outside for more than 90 minutes at a time. Stadium records indicate that besides the more than 12,000 sweat-drenched, massively overweight fans who have passed out due to dehydration this season, Wrigley Field has also been the site of nearly 4,500 heart attacks and strokes in the past year, as well as almost 2,000 incidents of fans going into diabetic shock. In addition, during the 2012 baseball season, more than 500 obese fans have choked to death on hot dogs or nachos. 'In order for us to provide a safe environment, we would need to have a fully functioning hospital on site and seats equipped with ready-to-use oxygen tanks. We'd also need to hire 150 additional ushers trained in CPR,' head of ballpark operations Carl Rice told reporters Thursday, reiterating that Cubs fans are just 'very, very fat.' 'Now, we could probably cover the cost of these things through concession sales, but the truth is, I can't in good conscience serve these people the number of Italian beef sandwiches and bags of popcorn they want, because they would be leaving the stadium on gurneys every night.' 'And that's its own problem,' Rice continued, 'because we would need to special order extra-large gurneys, which are very expensive.' Until a long-term solution can be reached, a few alterations to the stadium are already in the works. Some of the changes include widening box seats by more than 3 feet, turning the current loading dock into the stadium's main entrance, and installing defibrillators at the end of every row. However, Cubs officials said those changes alone will not be nearly enough. 'We only expect our fans' weight to increase,' Rice said. 'If their current rate of gain continues, by 2016 the average Cubs fan will weigh 600 pounds. And unfortunately that means we'll have to tear down Wrigley and build a new, state-of-the art stadium that allows ushers to roll supine game attendees from their bus, car, or subway into the stadium and into their spots, where they can continue to just lie there and watch the game. Basically, we can't have Cubs fans physically moving on our premises, as any movement on their part would certainly kill them.' At press time, reporters had reached Cubs fans for comment, but had to wait for them to finish chewing first. 
2	Obama Goes After Seal Team Six Member Takes MASSIVE Stand Against Him According to recent reports, former Navy SEAL Team Six commander Rep. Ryan Zinke just confirmed with Brandon Tyler Webb of SofRep that he is considering running for House Speaker. His intentions? To take a stand against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That includes President Obama. I think there are a few people who can do that, Zinke told Webb. If folks like Paul Ryan and others step aside, and more of my colleagues ask me to run, I will hear the call to serve. Leadership is about service to country, not self. Its time to advance the cause of freedom. Webb claims that Zinke is no stranger to good leadership. I would love to see him go against the grain and shake things up as the new speaker, Webb wrote, referencing working under Zinke during his last tour in the Navy. Hes a freshman but knows how to lead. Webb also added that Zinke would be the type to offer real solutions, not the bull**** poltical rhetoric weve all become accustomed to. Zinke is a proven leader, and in Washington politics, its time to lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way, Webb concluded. What do you think? Do you support Zinke? Do you agree our country is in desperate need of new leadership? 
2	FBI Saves Over 30 People By Taking Down Terrorist Samy Mohamed Hamzeh Earlier this week, Samy Mohamed Hamzeh was arrested by the FBI just before he was about to carry out a terrorist attack. He had purchased 2 machine guns, and said he was planning on killing 30 people. According to an FBI affidavit, agents were tipped off in September that Hamzeh planned to travel to Israel in October to attack Israeli soldiers and citizens in the West Bank. He abandoned those plans due to family, financial and logistic reasons, the affidavit said, but refocused his efforts on a domestic attack. Hamzeh discussed his plans extensively with two FBI informants. The affidavit said the FBI started recording his conversations with the informants in October. Later that day and into the early morning of Jan. 20, Hamzeh discussed his plans to attack the temple with the informants, telling them they needed two more machine guns the group apparently already had one and silencers. They planned to station one person at the temples entrance while the other two went through the building, killing everyone they saw. They then planned to walk away from the scene as if nothing had happened. I am telling you, if this hit is executed, it will be known all over the world all the Mujahedeen will be talking and they will be proud of us, Hamzeh said, according to the affidavit. Such operations will increase in America, when they hear about it. The people will be scared and the operations will increase. This way we will be igniting it. I mean we are marching at the front of the war. Hamzeh added that he hoped to kill 30 people. He also said his group was Muslims and they were defending Muslim religion. Thank God the FBI was doing its job (much better than most of our government). This man is being charged with buying illegal guns. Hopefully he will be put away permanently for terrorist charges. Do you think this man should be sent to Guantanamo Bay for life? 
2	Liberals Attack Sarah Palin After This Extremely Scandalous Photo Shoot Hits The Public [SEE PHOTOS] Two years ago, Newsweek sparked controversy when they featured a cover photo of Sarah Palin running in shorts with an American flag. The photo was originally taken for Runners World magazine, in an article that commented on Palins toned physique. The use of the picture sparked a debate about sexism: would America ever see story with a male candidate running in shorts or a bathing suit? Palin herself called Newsweek sexist and claimed that the media outlet would do anything to draw attention. Now, Palin is on the cover once again, after granting an exclusive interview to Peter Boyer. She also posed for a series of photographs that dont seem to stand behind her original thoughts. Folks want to be able to envision someone sitting in the Oval Office, Washington Post contributor Jonathan Capehart wrote. They dont necessarily want to envision them in the pages of Esquire magazines Sexiest Woman Alive 2011 or Maxim. What do you think? Has Sarah Palin been highly sexualized in the media? 
2	Obama Refuses To Share Info On ISIS With Other Countries According to recent reports, the Obama Administration is being investigated once morethis time for an ISIS scandal that could put Obama out of the White House once and for all. To the frustration of Americans everywhere, President Obama has been slow to action when it comes to taking on ISIS. Now, he may have just been caught actually hindering those who attempt to take on the terrorist organization to protect our country. According to Lt. Col. Oliver North, both Egypt and Libya have requested information from the United States about ISISs plans for attack in Libya and Syria. Obama has repeatedly refused to divulge this information. President el-Sisi asked for American intelligencetargeting intelligencebefore he led the strikes, North said during a recent appearance on Fox. They didnt get it. King Abdullah of Jordan asked for intelligence data on targets to respond to the murder of a Jordanian aircraft pilot. Obama has also reportedly refused assistance to non-state groups who are bravely fighting ISIS head-on. The Kurds are begging for arms and ammo from the United States, but not one bullet has been delivered by the United States, North continued. Meanwhile, Obama seems more than willing to lend support to Syrian refugees at any cost. What do you think? Do we need a real leader in the White House? 
2	BREAKING: Texas Take THIS Massive Stand Against Black Lives Matter... They Are FURIOUS According to recent reports, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the Lone Star State lawmakers are cracking down after recent attacks on police officers. On Monday, Abbott announced the Police Protection Act, a measure designed to strengthen penalties for crimes committed against police officers. At a time when law enforcement officers increasingly come under assault simply because of the job they hold, Texas must send a resolute message that the state will stand by the men and women who serve and protect our communities, Abbott said in a news release, adding that it is time for Texans to unite and say No more. The men and women in uniform risk their lives every day to protect the public, and it is time we show them the state of Texas has their back, Abbott concluded. Texas will no longer tolerate disrespect for those who serve, and it must be made clear to anyone targeting our law enforcement officials that their actions will be met with severe justice. The act will extend hate crime protections to law enforcement officers and increase criminal penalties for crimes committed against them. The goal is to create a culture of respect for law enforcement. The measure also includes organizing a campaign to educate youth on the value police officers bring to the community. What do you think? Do you support this new measure? 
2	Woman Sexually Assaulted By Bill Clinton Reveals THIS Disturbing Secret About Hillary... Her Career Is Over In 1998, Kathleen Willey worked at the White House as a volunteer. During her service, she accused President Clinton of sexually assaulting her five years earlier. Now, shes back with another scandal, this time against presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. She is money-hungry, absolutely, Willey told radio talk show host Aaron Klein in an interview. She says they were dead broke? Theyve got money hand over fist. They just cant seem to make enoughShes absolutely unqualified to run this country. Just look at something as simple as her judgment. I question her judgment on a number of issues when it comes to being president. Willey also went on to criticize claims that Hillary is some sort of champion of the female sex, claiming that the former first lady both enabled her husbands behavior and went after the women that he hooked up with to ruin them again and again and again and again. Women in this country who want a woman for president ought to be paying a whole lot more attention to Carly Fiorina than to Hillary Clinton, because Hillary Clinton has nothing to offer, Willey concluded, going on to call Hillary the worst role model for a wife and a mother and a politician. What do you think of Willeys comments. Though harsh, are they dead-on? 
3	OOPSIES! ISIS Video Shows U.S. Accidentally Airdropped Weapons to the Terrorists in SyriaMelissa Melton Oops. The Daily Beast tried to play this off as the weapons accidentally falling into the hands of ISIS, in the second paragraph of its article on this situation, after clearly admitting in the first paragraph that the territory the weapons were dropped into was known to be under ISIS control to begin with: In a new video, ISIS shows American-made weapons it says were intended for the Kurds but actually were air dropped into territory they control. At least one bundle of U.S. weapons airdropped in Syria appears to have fallen into the hands of ISIS, a dangerous misfire in the American mission to speed aid to Kurdish forces making their stand in Kobani. Gee. How did that happen? Are they really going to claim intelligence failure when, thanks to former NSA contractor Edward Snowdens leaks, we now know we live in a world where the U.S. government can suck up the communications data of an entire country at once? Previously released videos from Iraq also purport to show ISIS fighters zooming around in U.S. tanks, humvees and mine-resistant, ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles. There are even unconfirmed reports according to The Daily Beast that three U.S. fighter jets have been stolen from ISIS-conquered bases. So this is a government that would (if we are to believe thiscockamamie story) accidentally airdrop weapons to the very terrorists the government is supposed to be fighting But, somehow, Americans should continue to trust their government. We should go along with the government as it hands over hundreds of millions of dollars here and there to people we are continuously reassured are the vetted moderate Syrian rebels (whatever that means). How does that work? Has anyone witnessed any of those transactions go down? Saw the paperwork detailing the supposed vetting process? Saw who cashed those big, fat checks from Uncle Sam? Or is this all a big, fat steaming pile of bull? But hey! Sen. John McCain said that he vetted the Syrian rebels because he knows them, and if you dont trust them, youre just making excuses for not taking the proper action to stop ISIS. John McCain, in one of his rare TV appearances, said on Fox News today that anyone saying they mistrust the Free Syrian Army is just making excuses for not taking action against ISIS.McCain touted that hes vetted a number of them because I know them. It was at that point Fox aired the infamous photo from last year of McCain and a few Syrian rebels, two of which turned out to be suspected kidnappers. This led to Rand Paul taking a shot at McCain and illustrating this as an example of why its hard to properly vet Syrian rebels. [emphasis added] Heres that snapshot of McCain with the vetted rebels, again, two of which are suspected kidnappers: So out of what, five guys, TWO are suspected kidnappers? Thats a 40% fail rate on vetting in a pretty small group size, Senator McCain. Now think about the total number of rebels we are supposedly vetting and apply that 40% fail rate and thats if you even believe this terrorist fairy tale our government has concocted to begin with! But you can trust these politicians, America. And you can trust our government to know the difference between terrorists and rebels. Thats why the Department of Defense just accidentally airdropped weapons into the wrong hands. Its not as if our government didnt fund ISIS to begin with, and train and arm them or anything. Syrian rebels who would later join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan, according to informed Jordanian officials. The officials said dozens of future ISIS members were trained at the time as part of covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The officials said the training was not meant to be used for any future campaign in Iraq. [emphasis added] Oopsies!

3	L.A. Just Dumped Millions of Plastic Balls into Its Drinking WaterBy Melissa Dykes Wow. Just wow. You know its bad when the people in charge have decided the answer to keeping the water from evaporating in the drought and turning carcinogenic due to toxic chemical reactions is to spend millions of dollars to pour millions of black plastic balls into reservoirs to block sunlight from hitting the water. Because we all know that hormone-disrupting chemicals never leach into liquids from hot plastic See for yourself: Via Boing Boing: The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is buying 80 million 4-inch black polyethylene balls to cover the surfaces of three Los Angeles reservoirs that serve 4 million residents. At a cost of 33 cents each, the hollow spheres are designed to block sunlight from turning bromide and chlorine in the water into bromate, a suspected carcinogen. Do the math. Thats twenty-six million four hundred thousand dollars the LA Water Dept. is spending on plastic balls to fill the reservoirs with. Actually, NPR is reporting the total cost of the project at $34.5 million. Other outlets say 96 million shade balls have now been deployed in California to save the water from becoming carcinogenic. But wait, others say its just to save water from evaporation. Fox News is claiming this entire thing is just to stop the water from evaporating to help amid the drought. The article just up today on Fox makes zero mention of bromide or other toxic chemical reactions in the water. The whole thing is about praise for a creative, low-tech, cheap solution to save water. (In the comments someone wrote, So Im no bio scientist, but doesnt dark, wet conditions avoiding ultra violet lights, breed bacteria?) News Channel 4 began with On Tuesday, officials released thousands of shade balls to protect the water from dust, chemicals, wildlife and most importantly evaporation. Most importantly evaporation? Either way, Bloomberg reported: The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power has now dumped 96 million balls into local reservoirs to reduce evaporation and block sunlight from encouraging algae growth and toxic chemical reactions. Toxic chemical reactions. Thats just sad in-and-of itself that the water is in such a deplorable condition that sunlight, which is normally a cleansing agent, could transform said water a basic resource most living things on this planet need to live (along with the chemicals they purposefully add to it) into a deadly carcinogen. But also: The balls are coated with a chemical that blocks ultraviolet light and helps the spheres last as long as 25 years. Las Virgenes, north of L.A., now uses shade balls, too. So thats wonderful. While the measure is expected to save 300 million gallons of water a year, just how contaminated with chemicals, especially those of the hormone-disrupting/mimicking variety, will be in that water? First of all, what is the chemical coating these plastic balls that blocks ultraviolet light comprised of exactly? Does that leach over time? Are they sure it doesnt? No mention in the press, so I guess someone somewhere deemed its safe (a word that means less and less these days in the modern American corporatocracy and its bought-and-paid-for bureaucratic circles). Going back to elementary school, doesnt black absorb heat faster than lighter colors? Wouldnt that hasten evaporation? BEYOND even all of that though Even though the FDA has declared that polyethylene is BPA-free, weve reported before that being deemed BPA-free does not automatically mean a plastic formulation does not leach other hormone mimickers anyway: Studies suggest that many alternatives to BPA sold in stores may still be dangerous estrogen mimickers and/or endocrine disruptors particularly when used with hot foods or liquids. In fact, most every plastic does leach these hormone mimickers and/or endocrine disruptors, especially when heated. From the blog My Plastic Free Life: Which plastics are safe? I get that question all the time My response: we cant be sure any plastic is safe as long as we dont know what chemicals are in the plastic and as long as those chemicals have not been tested. Ive said this over and over again. And Ive pointed out chemical additives that have been found to leach from safe plastics like polypropylene. Now, a University of Texas study published last month in Environmental Health Perspectives confirms that hormone-disrupting chemicals leach from almost all plastics, even BPA-free plastics Their finding? Almost all of the plastic products tested leached EA [Estrogen Activity] chemicals. The very least that most of us attempt to do is avoid plastic when it is coming in contact with our food and drink, so that we wont be directly ingesting these chemicals when we dine. If we cant for one reason or another, we definitely avoid using plastic in combination with hot food and drink. Why? Because hormone mimickers and endocrine disruptors can cause a multitude of health problems including cancer!!! Now California has purposefully dumped 96 million pieces of plastic into the drinking water to float on the waters surface all day long every single day and bake in the sun. Who knows what the long-term effects of this seemingly short-sighted, quick fix is going to be down the road. Dont worry though. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said its safe on Facebook, so And you can clearly see the way this is being portrayed as utterly brilliant in the mainstream media: YAY! Were saving the water!

1	Weaving through the crowd while occasionally pausing to hide behind gongs and elaborate bamboo fans, every single person involved in the Chinese parade currently winding down Broadway is attempting to avoid one or more pursuers, reports confirmed Tuesday. With 22 percent of participants disguised as acrobats or traditional robed warriors, 16 percent wearing large conical paddy hats to conceal their eyes, and a further 38 percent hidden inside dragon dance costumes, the chaotic procession has reportedly stymied hundreds of assassins, government agents, and private detectives elbowing their way past spectators and craning their necks in search of their targets. According to sources, the throngs of fleeing individuals would already have been killed for ransom money, wrongfully arrested, or forced to surrender a priceless stolen artifact if they had not opened a decorative silk parasol to obscure their face at exactly the right moment or thought to use a string of paper lanterns as a makeshift zip line. At press time, a sudden burst of confetti and firecracker explosions had reportedly provided the distraction the entire parade needed to scramble up some scaffolding and onto the rooftops. 
3	Irony in Canada: 300 Arrested at Protest Against Police BrutalityAmanda Warren The official reason for the arrests was that the protesters did not alert the proper authorities in regards to their location and intentions their itinerary, police said. Arrests were made although the organization responsible for leading the protests, the Collective Opposing Police Brutality (COPB), has organized protests in the same location for the past 18 years. Police still claim they require prior notification for a demonstration. Police spokesman Ian Lafrenire said: In addition, police claim that crowds were unruly and that they were refusing to stay out of the street and were blocking traffic against police commands. Protesters, however, disagree and accused police of lying about the sequence of events. What is clear, however, is that the police swooped in and began making arrests before the protest largely got off the ground according to RT. After only a few minutes, riot police arrived on Jean-Talon street, surrounded the protesters and initiated a mass arrest. Protesters claim an extremely heavy police presence with not only riot police, but officers on horses and even helicopters. COPBs protest this year was focused on drawing attention to the issue of social cleansing where they claim authorities try to get rid of people they deem unwanted. For instance, the group cites an Perhaps most ironic, one person was reported by officers as having sustained injuries to his face during police intervention and was aided by paramedics on site. This writer couldnt help notice some of the language used to describe the protest. One report called the protest an annual stand-off and RT said that the protesters were brandishing banners.

As if that werent enough, she promised that thats the contrast that were going to draw. Whatever is said on this stage tonight and through this week, Donald Trump cant run away from his horrific personal and business record. Democrats have been conducting interviews and meetings in Cleveland this week to counteract the momentum that Trump is gaining from winning the official nomination. In a later interview with NBCs Andrea Mitchell, Wasserman Schultz repeated her claims that Trump was dangerous and unqualified and unprepared. Bluster is not substitute for expertise, she commented. Then she added that Clinton is the most admired and respected woman in the entire world. Of course, that claim is false, considering that 67 percent of Americans do not trust her. 
1	During an address Wednesday to the National Association for the Advancement of White People, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney received a lengthy standing ovation from the group of 2,000 Caucasians who had gathered to hear him speak. The NAAWP, a 400-year-old organization with a membership of nearly 8 million whites nationwide, is expected to be firmly in Romney's camp come November. 'Thank you, thank you so much,' said Romney, whose speech was repeatedly interrupted by wave after wave of raucous applause and numerous chants of 'We love Mitt!' 'I love you, too. Really, this is too much.' Romneys reception came in stark contrast to the welcome given to President Barack Obama, who spoke to the NAAWP last Thursday and was loudly booed for saying, 'Hello, thanks for having me.'

'I'll tell you what would absolutely demoralize us is if they hit Disneyland,' said the 48-year-old high school graduate, whose vast knowledge of how terrorists operate and what the consequences of their potential actions would be is truly unmatched. 'With all the families there it would just be devastating. And it's Disneyland, so symbolically that would be like the ultimate desecration of everything American.' The razor-sharp Butler then spent the next two hours applying his insightful analysis of global terrorism and its effects to hypothetical attacks on water treatment facilities, hospitals, and the Academy Awards.

'These days, media-savvy professionals who know how to publicize questionable scientific data in order to downplay the environmental dangers of forcing toxic fluids into the ground can pretty much write their own ticket,' said Bart Hobijn of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, adding that this year at least 2,500 graduating seniors will be put to work obfuscating the levels of carcinogens in groundwater. 'And in the long term, the job demand will only increase. Fracking has become a high-growth sector in which there is an extraordinary amount of spinning to be done.' When asked how he enjoyed his new position with a Pittsburgh-based fracking operator, recently hired PR manager Matt Coleman said he believed the practice is a 'safe, clean way to increase our natural gas reserves and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil.'

Its baffling how he has been in the White House for two full terms. The First Lady made a guest appearance on a BET talk show, and its no longer so surprising why is he such a terrible president. Michelle talked about Obamas lack of effort he had as a young adult. She says it as if its harmless, and doesnt play a huge factor in his presidency. He has proven to us plenty of times that he hasnt improved since high school. Heres what she said: Barack fooled around in high school. He didnt take school seriously in high school. He barely got his work done. He was a bum! And it took him a second. He had to grow up a little bit. How can a man that wants to release the detainees from Guantanamo Bay and take away our guns be considered grown up? He is out of his mind. Do you think Obama is the worst president ever? 
3	Fed Issues an Ominous Warning to JPMorgan Chase and Leaders Flock to Secret MeetingsBy Daisy Luther Do you hear that? Its the clock on the time bomb, and it appears to be ticking relentlessly toward our economic collapse. It seems like every day, there is a new threat to the financial well-being of the disappearing middle class in America. Of course, less affected are the members of Congress and their buddies on Wall Street. You know, the ones that put the politicians in office to get favorable decisions made on their behalf in Washington. But if you happen to have been ignoring the folks Obama calls peddlers of fiction who have been warning us all of an impending economic crisis along the lines of the last financial collapse, you might want to pay attention now, because a disturbing series of events is in motion. Finally, the Fed has admitted that we just cant take another hit without incurring an epic disaster. And by admitted I mean theyve issued a chilling warning to JPMorgan Chase, the biggest bank in America. The letter is addressed to Teflon-coated Jamie Dimon, the leader of the bank (who seems to have made a deal with the Devil to become completely immune to prosecution, no matter what he does.) It is 19 pages and heavily redacted, but here are some excerpts that should send a chill down your spine. The emphasis is mine. The Agencies also identified a deficiency in the 2015 Plan regarding the criteria for a rational and less-complex legal entity structure. In order to substantially mitigate the risk that JPMCs material financial distress and failure would have systemic effects, JPMC should ensure that its legal entity structure promotes resolvability under the preferred resolution strategy across a range of failure scenarios. Flexibilityor optionalitywithin the resolution strategy helps mitigate risks that, if not overcome, could otherwise undermine successful execution of the strategy and, more broadly, pose serious adverse effects to the financial stability of the United States. Then theres this: The divestiture options in the 2015 Plan also were not sufficiently actionable, as the 2015 Plan sections fore did not contain detailed, tailored, and complete separability analyses. For example, only one obstacle to divestiture to the[redacted]key vendor contracts was adequately analyzed; the analysis of the other key obstacles cited regulatory approvals, client communications [redacted] This is also concerning: JPMC does not have an appropriate model and process for estimating and maintaining sufficient liquidity at, or readily available to, material entities in resolution (RLAP model). This is notable given J?MCs liquidity profile in its 2015 Plan, which relies on the firms ability to shift substantial amounts of liquidity around the organization during stress, as needed. As explained below, JPMCs liquidity profile is vulnerable to adverse actions by third parties. Even without a degree in finance, I know this is bad: JPMCs 2015 Plan relied on roughly of parent liquidity support being injected into various material entities, including its U.S. broker-dealers, during the period immediately preceding JPMCs bankruptcy filing. This includes reliance on funds in foreign entities that may be subject to defensive ringfencing during a time of financial stress. Heres the long and the short of it: Every year, large banks must create a contingency plan that explains what theyll do if they begin to go under. The biggest bank in the country has such a lackluster, half-baked plan that the Fed called them out on it for 19 pages and warns that their nonchalance could be responsible for the financial instability of the entire country. PS: Since this isnt my first rodeo, I downloaded the entire PDF. Its funny how things have a way of disappearing off the Internet when the mainstream media wants to ignore them. You can download it yourself, too, at this link: Living-Will-Letter-Issued-to-JPMorgan-Chase But theyre not the only ones. Bank of America and Wells Fargo also saw their contingency plans rejected. Zero Hedge reports: Three of the five largest U.S. banks (JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo) have now had their wind-down plans rejected by the Federal agency insuring bank deposits (FDIC) and the Federal agency (Federal Reserve) that secretly sluiced $13 trillion in rollover loans to the insolvent or teetering banks in the last epic crisis that continues to cripple the countrys economic growth prospects. Are all three banks going down? And just in case you think its just a normal day at the FedIt isnt just these warning letters that should make you pay attention.At the risk of sounding like Im selling Ginsu knives, theres more. The Great Recession Blog posted a bullet list that should blow your mind when taken in conjunction with the news above. (Be sure to read the full article it goes into a lot more detail.) It seems that theres enough concern to spark a flurry of secret meetings among those in power. Maybe you think this wont affect you. Maybe you dont have an account with anyone affiliated with JPMorgan Chase, BofA, and Wells Fargo. Maybe you arent an investor. Maybe you dont have real estate. Maybe you are absolutely certain, without a shadow of a doubt, that your job is secure. Perhaps you have money in the bank, or maybe not maybe you keep it stuffed in your mattress. The trouble is, the money you are working overtime to make, the security you feel that you have by saving itits perceived value can be completely wiped out by a financial crisis that occurs on a national level. Thats because if a huge bank like JPMC fails, lots of of the companies fail with it. Then this stuff happens: The bottom line is, income will remain the same, decrease, or even disappear entirely for many of us. Meanwhile, the price of darn near everything will go up. Expect to pay more for things like keeping your utilities on, feeding and clothing your family, keeping a roof over your heads. Aside from that, those dollars you are carefully saving? They are only providing you with the illusion of security. Heres what you need to do immediately in the event of either a market crash or further news of a bank failure. (Of course, if you wait until a bank failure has been announced, you may have waited too long.) Hopefully theres no need to empty out your bank accounts, stock up on last-minute supplies, or lock-and-load for home protection. However, if this is an actual 1929/2008-style stock market crash, you need to take your preps to the next level. If you cant buy your necessities, youre going to have to produce them, something that is a complete turnaround for most folks. Information is the key. Its imperative that you learn everything you can so that you know what you need to add to your preps. As well, its essential to acquire the knowledge you need to fend for yourself. Take these two steps, if you havent already. #1. Bookmark these preparedness websites. (Free) The Internet is a wonderful place, and best of all, this knowledge can be found for FREE! The more you know about crisis situations, the more ready you will be to face them. Some sites are friendlier to beginners than others, so if you stumble upon a forum where people seem less than enthusiastic about helping people who are just starting out, dont let it get you down. Move on and find a site that makes you feel comfortable. Following are some of my favorites, and the link will take you to a good starting point on these sites. In no particular order: Following are some of my favorites, and the link will take you to a good starting point on these sites. (Actually, its wise to begin increasing your knowledge even if we get a reprieve.) In no particular order: #2. Build your library. (Small expense) This is where some money could come into play. Most of the time, people in the preparedness world like to have hard copies of important information. This way, if the power goes out and you cant access the internet or recharge your Kindle, you still have access to vital advice. Some of these books are for just such an event, while others are guides to building your self-reliance skills. Commit to picking up a good book each pay period until you have a library to reference during any type of scenario. Be sure to check out used bookstores, libraries, and garage sales, too. Look for books that teach self-reliant skills like sewing, gardening, animal husbandry, carpentry, repair manuals, scratch cooking, and plant identification. You can often pick these up for pennies, and older books dont rely on expensive new technology or tools for doing these tasks. Things arent looking good. It makes me wonder if all of the quantitative easing and can-kicking has finallyreached the point that they cant push economic disaster back any further.

1	After an extended period of fussing and crying in his bassinet, 10-day-old Joshua Brundage was reportedly calmed Sunday by the familiar sounds of his parents raised voices, a daily occurrence that he is said to have grown accustomed to since gestating in the womb. Sources stated that around 7 p.m., the infant grew visibly relaxed in response to his mothers and fathers distinctive verbal attacks, his stress levels clearly declining with each of his parents soothing, repeated interjections of Listen to me! Listen to me! and Its always my fault, isnt it? Its never you! According to reports, within several minutes the incessant accusations and slamming of doors that were commonplace during Brundages prenatal development and have continued in the days following his birth lulled him into a deep state of peaceful contentedness. As of press time, Brundage had drifted off to sleep, reportedly pacified by his mothers nightly refrain about when theyll have enough money to pay the fucking credit card bill. 
3	After Fatality, Autonomous Car Development May Speed UpBy William Messner, Tufts University The successes are real. In 2004, not a single vehicle completed even 10 miles of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Grand Challenge for autonomous navigation across 150 miles of the Mojave Desert. Nineteen months later five vehicles were up to the task. In 2007, six teams completed the far more difficult DARPA Urban Challenge, which involved navigating through a city-type environment with other autonomous and human-driven vehicles obeying California driving laws. Subsequently, Google recruited several of the technical leads from the Grand Challenge teams to develop autonomous cars. All the major car manufacturers in the United States, Europe and Japan now have serious efforts to develop autonomous passenger vehicles. Most notably, upstart Tesla boldly sells vehicles equipped with sensors and software that allow operators to run the cars in autonomous mode in various situations including highway driving. Cars operating autonomously already have logged millions of miles on U.S. roads. However, the recent fatal crash of a Tesla Model S operating in autopilot mode suggests that some people may be too confident in this new technology in its current state. As we have seen with other innovations, sometimes a users death causes development to slow down but other times, progress speeds up to address the newly uncovered problems. The effects of tragedies involving new technology vary greatly. The publics optimism about civilian space tourism increased dramatically with the successful flights of Scaled Composites SpaceShipOne in June 2004. But that optimism faded quickly after the crash of the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo in October 2014, in which the copilot was killed. The response to the Tesla accident differs from the Virgin Galactic fatality at least in part because of the distinct difference in potential societal benefit of the technology. Civilian space tourism promises expensive thrill rides to a very tiny number of wealthy customers. So, when its safety was called into question, it is not surprising that interest declined. (In late July, the company received a license to resume test flights, but does not expect to fly passengers until at least 2017.) On the other hand, autonomous vehicles have the potential to help hundreds of millions of people and to save tens of thousand of lives per year in the US alone. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that 94 percent of the more than 35,000 U.S. traffic deaths in 2015 were due to the driver. These brutal numbers mean that the recent Tesla autopilot fatality will not slow the push to automate passenger vehicles. In fact, the Tesla drivers death may actually accelerate progress on autonomous vehicles. As NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind remarked in July at the Automated Vehicles Symposium 2016, When something goes wrong, or a highly automated vehicle encounters an edge case something it hasnt been programmed to deal with that data can be taken, analyzed and then the lessons can be shared with all automated vehicles. [By contrast,] new drivers must learn on the road and make the same mistakes as thousands before them. The initial deployment of airbags in automobiles in the 1990s provides an apt comparison. Airbags saved many lives from the outset. However, there were instances in which the passenger side airbag killed children, especially infants secured in rear-facing child safety seats the so-called edge cases for this technology. In response, regulators and car manufacturers quickly introduced sensors to detect the weight of any passenger, and systems that deactivated the airbag if the passenger was too light. Public service announcements warned drivers to ensure children rode only in the rear seats, either buckled up or in child safety seats. These actions resulted in an astonishing 96 percent reduction in children killed by airbags at between 1996 and 2001 even though the number of airbag-equipped vehicles increased by a factor of five. A Tesla Model S, like the one pictured at left, was involved in the first fatal crash of a vehicle with autonomous-driving technology. The effect of the Tesla crash is likely to be similar. The apparent cause of the accident was the vehicles failure to detect a white truck against a bright sky background, and the failure of both car and driver to react in time. Like the injuries caused by some early airbags, the crash was an unintended consequence of a system designed to improve safety. As additional details about the crash emerge, the manufacturer can redesign the system to essentially eliminate the problems. And users of the technologies will become less complacent and more informed about their capabilities and limitations. The most lasting effect of the Tesla crash will be its damage to the trust people put in these systems. Kristin Kolodge, who heads human-machine interface work at market research firm J.D. Power, remarked at the Automated Vehicles Symposium, Its extremely unfortunate the Tesla incident that happened. This element of trust is extremely fragile. Counting whose specific lives airbags have saved in crashes is relatively easy. But it is much more difficult to measure the benefits of autonomous vehicles replacing reckless, drunk or otherwise impaired drivers and reducing crashes as a result. Nonetheless, the prospect of greatly reducing accidents, injuries and deaths due to reckless driving, drunk driving, distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding and road rage means that increasingly automated cars will be a fact of life in the years ahead. As U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx recently said, Automated vehicles are coming. Ready or not, they are coming. Image Credit William Messner, John R.

3	Eco Village Files Suit in Federal Court for Unjustified SWAT RaidBy selfnews Post The SWAT raid on the morning of August 2, 2013 resulted in 8 adults being handcuffed at gunpoint, including the mother of a 22 month old and a two-week-old baby who was separated from her children during the raid. According to a Garden of Eden press release, after hours of being held in handcuffs at gunpoint, a warrant was finally produced which alleged that the community was operating a drug trafficking operation, as well as being considered armed and dangerous. Community members were subsequently detained inside their home and watched at gunpoint for an additional 8 hours while a significant amount of their property was removed and/or destroyed. No drugs were ever found and no charges ever resulted from the warrant. Nearly two years later, Garden of Eden has now initiated a lawsuit against the city of Arlington, Texas. Their lawsuit cites a number of specific amends to be made by the City aimed at creating a more honorable standard for the whole country, including a budget reveal for this operation and a refund to taxpayers for wasted funds. Garden of Eden founder, Quinn Eaker, pledges: As Garden of Eden also notes, there has been speculation about the true reason for this raid. One is that the City and connected real estate investors desired to use Garden of Eden land along with adjacent land for profitable development, likely related to the City owned and operated Tierra Verde Golf Course, less than one mile from the eco-village. Another theory is that certain officials were strongly opposed to Garden of Edens alternative lifestyle, and they wanted to send a message to the community and a warning to any others considering the same. Now Garden of Eden is sending their own message to the Police State: heavy-handed tactics do not intimidate true lovers of freedom; they only provide further motivation to work toward freedoms preservation. To follow this developing story, please visit www.intothegardenofeden.com, or connect with the Garden of Eden Facebook Page. Beyond words. We wish Garden of Eden well. Ive found the best tool available to us is shedding light on wrong doing for many to see. Even more effective than our legal system (as courts are largely protection / collection agencies for the Corporation and its franchisees). May like minded energy adhere to their efforts, and expand their success. A good post. I agree. It is up to us to shed light on the darkness. Not just this issue and story but the many that are happening every day. Yes the government and mega corps are doing lots of dishonorable things but it is we who must do something about it because they wont. We may not be able to challenge them at this point but we can educate and network to begin that process. The SWAT was lucky one or more of them werent shot during that raid. They still might be if this drags out much longer. Id start hunting down cops and their backers. FREE food, FREE housing means no tax that can flow to the top of the hierarchical pyramid this is the only way that can peaceful destroy their system that is based on profit/tax/abuse! Many would agree with you. What we do KNOW for a FACT is that not a single thing in the warrant was found.This means that the facts are that they were TOTALLY wrong. No speculation or argument there. What is also apparent is that everything in the affidavit of which the warrant was signed upon was either speculation, hearsay or blatant lies. Either way hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars were totally wasted. AND FOR WHAT? These people fed 40,000 free meals without any government or rich benefactors aid. Just imagine what would be possible with support instead of he raid. norm for the state of Texas..Note the high number of executions by this State Maybe normal but not honorable. So if its not honorable what are we doing to do about it? 
1	Three teens eating at the North Henderson Street Country Kitchen diner 'really went to town' with the restaurant's comment cards Sunday, third-shift manager Rick Wehl reported. Malkus, McIntosh, and Konkel really get into those cards. 'Yeah, there was a group of kids in that back booth last night,' Wehl said Monday. 'They sure were getting their jollies filling out those comment cards. Must have been at it for an hour and a half.' The 17-year-oldsChristine Konkel, Aaron Malkus, and Jeffrey McIntoshreached Tuesday at the same Country Kitchen location, said they entered the 24-hour family restaurant at 12:15 a.m. Sunday, after spending several hours driving up and down Central Avenue. According to Malkus, an hour after the teens sat down, shortly before they ordered food, he spotted the comment-card display near the register. He brought a stack of cards to the table, at which point the teens immediately began to fill them out, reading their comments to one other as they wrote. 'The first spot was 'name,' so I wrote 'Oliver Clothesoff,'' McIntosh said. 'I thought about writing 'Jack Hoff,' but I decided on 'Oliver Clothesoff' in the end. My dad's name is Oliver.' Malkus wrote 'Seymour Butts,' while Konkel wrote 'George W. Bush.' 'For age, I wrote 'to perfection'you know, 'aged to perfection,' like wine,' Malkus said. 'And for zip code, I wrote in my regular zip code, because I couldn't think of anything funny. I could have written '666' and then '69,' but that would have just looked like four sixes and a nine.' Despite the comment cards' lack of sex-related questions, the teens found a way to work the topic into their evaluations. The teens provided a number of risqu answersphone numbers like '555-TITS' and 'ASS-FUCK' and e-mail addresses such as 'blowme@yahoo.com' among them. The question 'Who served you today?' proved especially provocative. 'I wish I'd been served by Cameron Diaz instead of some Country Kitchen asshole,' Malkus wrote. 'Or Anna Kournikova. She's hot.' In the blank that requested the server's name, Konkel wrote 'Dick Whale,' in reference to Wehl, with whom the teens are familiar from their many recent trips to Country Kitchen. 'Remember that time Jeffrey brought over a booster seat and sat in it?' Konkel asked. 'And then [Wehl] came over and told us to 'cool it.' Wasn't that hilarious? He was like, 'Cool it, guys.'' 'Remember the time we asked The Whale for the crayons, and he wouldn't give them to us, but then we got some from the other table?' asked Malkus, who has hung a Country Kitchen placemat featuring sexually explicit crayon drawings in his locker. Konkel merely nodded, her attention focused on recounting the lengthy answers she provided to such simple multiple-choice questions as 'What meal did you share with us?' One of the comment cards Wehl called 'very funny.' 'I wrote, 'Sharing is caring, and I don't care to share my damn pancakes with anybody,'' Konkel said. 'Then I got a better idea, so I put an asterisk next the question and wrote 'Christmas fucking dinner' on the back.' To answer a question about the frequency of her trips to Country Kitchen, Konkel wrote that she visits Country Kitchen 'way more than [she] should, considering what a shithole it is.' In response to the same question, Malkus wrote '(2x - 50) y.' The group also provided creative answers to such open-ended questions as 'How could your Country Kitchen experience have been improved?' The teens agreed that Konkel's answer was the best: 'Country Kitchen? Oh, shit, I thought I was at Red Lobster!' In spite of the good time they seemed to have had Sunday, the teens' appraisals of their overall dining experience were overwhelmingly negative. 'It was a nightmare...a waking hellscape...of crappiness,' McIntosh wrote. 'It sucked more ass...than the whole...gay-ass staff combined.' The comment cards' last question solicited suggestions for improvement, and the teens happily complied, their responses sharing an undercurrent of sexual frustration. 'You want to know what you could do?'Malkus wrote. 'Put in a stripper pole and have nude waitresses... You should also have edible food, lower prices, and free blow jobs.' Konkel said the restaurant 'should have midgets bring you the food and then they should sit in your lap and feed it to you.' McIntosh's response was the group's favorite. He wrote, 'This place needs way less depressed truckers, and way more 16- to 20-year-old single girls who like to get high.' At 2:45 a.m., the teens finished their seventh pot of coffee, hid the tip under a plate, and got up to leave the restaurant. On the way out, Malkus slipped 11 comment-filled cards into the box near the front register. 'I knew those kids were filling out comment cards over there,' said Wehl, emptying the box at the end of his shift. 'As long as the things don't end up on the floor, I don't care how many anyone takes. We've got a box of 5,000 in the back.' Wehl looked at one of Malkus' cards, which happened to be on top, for several seconds before dropping the stack in the trash.

2	Black Couple Accuse IHOP Of Racism But They Forget 1 Huge Detail According to recent reports, a black couple from Texas have gained national attention after accusing IHOP of racism, claiming that their server at the restaurant put an offensive slur on their receipt. And while that would be outrageous, there are two major details to note. The first is that the slur was BLACK PPL. The second problem? Their waiter, who made the note, was black. Arainia Brown and her boyfriend Rolman Sparkman were traveling back to Austin along Interstate 35, when they decided to stop at an IHOP. It was around 3 a.m. The couple ordered takeaway. When they were about to leave, they noticed that the waiter had described them as BLACK PPL. We can only assume that they were the only black people in the restaurant at the time. Although their server was African-American as well, Brown and Sparkman were visibly outraged. I feel upset, Brown told reporters. Im sad, Im angry. Like this, it makes no sense. Of course, when the incident was posted on social media, IHOP was quick to release a statement, calling this a teachable moment. This was a poor choice made by our franchisees team member, and is not in keeping with policies and procedures, IHOP claimed in a statement. We recognize that it could be offensive and apologize. Everyone is welcome in our restaurants and our franchisee is using this as a teachable moment for the entire team so that it will not reoccur.

3	Virginia House Votes 96-4 to Take Second Step Against NDAA Indefinite DetentionMichael Boldin In 2013, Virginia was the first state to pass legislation in response to the indefinite detention powers purportedly authorized in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012, still active today. That law was a first step, limited in scope, forbidding state agencies, in some situations, from cooperating with some federal attempts to exercise the indefinite detention provisions written into sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act. For 2015, House Bill 2144 (HB2144), sponsored by Del. Benjamin L. Cline (R-Rockbridge), takes things two steps beyond simply refusing to cooperate with federal agents in the event of indefinite detention in Virginia. It sets the stage to create the type of leverage and attention D.C. would not want public if it refuses to cooperate with the state of Virginia. One: Two: A series of events is triggered upon failure to comply during such detainment of any person in the state of Virginia by the DoD. The state of Virginia will gather and publish Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs). These are essentially partnerships with state funds attached to them. These agreements are not necessarily legally binding, but usually offer some privacy between state, private enterprises (contractors), and federal agencies. Much of this kind of information usually remains hidden from the general public. This provision in and of itself provides a great service to the people of Virginia, allowing them to see exactly what type of agreements exist between the state and various federal agencies. The legislation then adds a final provision that would go into effect if the federal government detains somebody under Section 1021 and 1022 of NDAA 2012 and fails to follow sections one and two. This is a brilliant approach, Tenth Amendment Center national communications director Mike Maharrey said. First, it shines some sunlight on whats going on between the state and federal government. That provision alone is a win for Virginians. Then it creates significant consequences for the feds if they kidnap somebody on Virginia soil. It would allow the state to deny important resources to complete partnerships with the federal government if its agents snatch up somebody in the night and hold them without due process. I love seeing this kind of boldness and creativity from state legislators. Virginia is one of Washington DCs (specifically the DoDs) prime real estate providers. It serves as home to many government, private security, and intelligence contractors, particularly in the Northern Virginia area. HB2144 demands the feds comply or creates a climate where the state can end those contracts of cooperation that the DoD relies on through either the legislature or the governor. There is no one single bill that can stop these federal detention powers, said Maharrey. But this strategy of chipping away at them with multiple bills is something theyve been doing to us for decades. Kudos to Delegate Cline for taking this action and setting the stage for a third step in Virginia should it pass. HB2144 now moves to the state Senate, where it will first be assigned to a committee for consideration before the Senate has an opportunity to send it to the Governors desk.

3	Epic Fail: Less Than 0.02% of America Has Signed Up for ObamacareMelissa Melton Thats only 8-10% of the governments projected figure. Supposedly 700,000 applications have been received through all methods including mostly offline from all 50 states as of last week. Of course, on the first day the website was live, only six people thats right, six out of the 314 million people in this country had successfully signed up for their shiny new health insurance plan created in backroom, off-the-record deals between the insurance companies, Big Pharma and our government that is the resultant magic and wonder of Obamacare. The report comes out ahead of the governments planned release of Obamacare enrollment figures this week. But dont get too excited and start jumping up and down with sheer joy just yet; this isnt exactly the Administration well-known for its transparency or anything (that last part was supposed to be a cute throw-away line about the least-transparent Administration in Americas history, sorry, you probably arent laughing). Apparently when the government releases its Healthcare.gov figures report, the definition of enrollee will be enhanced for maximum Obamacare sparkliness: Health insurance plans only count subscribers as enrolled in a health plan once theyve submited[sic] a payment. That is when the carrier sends out a member card and begins paying doctor bills. When the Obama administration releases health law enrollment figures later this week, though, it will use a more expansive definition. It will count people who have purchased a plan as well as those who have a plan sitting in their online shopping cart but have not yet paid. In the data that will be released this week, enrollment will measure people who have filled out an application and selected a qualified health plan in the marketplace, said an administration official, who requested anonymity to frankly describe the methodology. (source) Its not the part about not limiting the count to people who have actually submitted a bona fide payment to their new health insurance provider that adds insult to injury here. Its the part where the definition of enrollment will be magically enhanced changed to the bare bones of anyone who has filled out an application and selected a plan. It didnt specify if that application has to be completed properly or even completed at all. Thats it. Considering the complete box of utter fail the Obamacare website is, that doesnt mean jack. The Healthcare.gov website was replete with screw ups that even armchair web designers dont make, to the point of Monty Python-esque absurdity, such as not even being able to give even basic correct information about the insurance plans we are all supposed to be buying, duplicate enrollment issues (thatll do wonders for legitimate enrollment numbers!), spouses being reported as children (each child will surely count as an enrollee too, no matter how many children the system falsely assigns you)the list goes on and on (and ondid I mention and on? P.S. and on). No matter; whatever number the government releases, you can be sure they probably got it the same way Miley Cyrus was able to grab news headlines this week. That is, by smoking a joint and twerking in a dwarfs face at the European MTV music awards. So, just like the governments unemployment figures never counting all those people who have fallen out of the workplace altogether for various reasons (like finally giving up already because we live in a country where only 47% of the adults even have a full-time job at this point), these figures will be all spiced up with fairy sprinkles and unicorn farts and, like everything else that comes out of the Obama Administrations mouth, it wont be worth the paper the Federal Reserve prints its bogus fiat Monopoly money on. As Reason.com put it: The rare early success story of Obamacare is that a massively expensive program that doesnt actually accomplish its core objective has jacked up the number of people enrolled in it. So break out the champagne because Medicaid is booming? We really cant afford to do that now and will be even less likely in a few years. In the meantime, be sure to visit My Cancellation.com, where you can read letter after letter after letter sent to angry, bitter Americans who have either had their premiums raised in some cases 167%, or had their insurance plan cancelled altogether because it doesnt meet the Obamacare standard of providing maternity care to single men and other completely ridiculous, useless features that serve no purpose but to spike rates (and make our Health and Human Services secretary look like a complete moron when congresspeople have to explain the basic biology of human birth to her in congressional testimony). Dont worry though; the government promises theyll fix the Obamacare website just like Obama promised at least 36 times that if you liked your health insurance plan, youd get to keep it. (Good thing Tennessee Senator Brian Kelsey gave Sebelius that Web Sites for Dummies book.) Never mind that most people wouldnt even trust the government to make a noodle salad at this point, let alone possess the ability to effectively oversee a large part of the nations health insurance. Well, as Senator Harry Reid said, this is all headed toward a single-payer system where the government completely controls the one and only payment mechanism for all healthcare anyway. Surely most Americans are just beside themselves waiting for the government to have even more control over health care in this country, as it really has been a blast so far. And by the way, the government still fully expects some 7 million Americans to sign up for their healthcare through the Affordable Care Act exchanges by the end of the year, but theyve been gracious enough to give us a six-week extension on paying our oh-so-constitutional Obamacare fines if we dont.

3	Thailand: Third Mass Mobilization Floods Bangkoks StreetsTony Cartalucci Thousands of protesters streamed between the stages, walking, riding, or driving miles from one stage to the other. Across the city, in every place of business, the signature Thai flag, ribbons, wrist bands, and banners could be seen carried by protesters as they took breaks to eat and rest. Each protest site was filled to capacity, with a steady stream of people flowing to and from the sites throughout the day. Mass transit systems ran out of tickets and eventually opened gates to let passengers ride for free. The regimes police have claimed the number of protesters at 4pm was approximately 135,000 which would still dwarf by nearly 3 times the largest pro-regime rallies at the height of its popularity years ago. However, pictures, accounts, security officials and the fact that people were constantly arriving throughout the day as others left to sustain the crowds indicate a million or more turned out. The citys elevated train alone moved over 700,000 people, most of whom were protesters. Meanwhile, the regimes proxy prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, placeholder for her convicted criminal brother, fugitive, Thaksin Shinawatra who openly runs the country from abroad as he evades a 2 year jail sentence, multiple arrest warrants and a long list of pending court cases, has fled to Thailands northern provinces where the remaining stronghold of the regimes red shirt mobs desperately attempt to cling to power through a campaign of fear and intimidation. Despite overwhelming opposition, increasing awareness around the world of the cartoonish nepotism and illegitimacy of the current regime, Yingluck Shinawatra was once again placed at the top of the candidates list for Thaksin Shinawatras Peua Thai Party (For Thais Party) for upcoming February 2014 elections being boycotted by opposition parties. The protesters demand the end of the Thaksin Shinawatra regime. To understand why, we must first understand who Thaksin Shinawatra is and what he has done over the past decade: In the late 1990s, Thaksin was an adviser to notorious private equity firm, the Carlyle Group. He pledged to his foreign contacts that upon taking office, he would still serve as a matchmaker between the US equity fund and Thai businesses. They have a list of very specific demands that set them apart from color revolutions backed by the US for the purpose of mere regime change centered solely on empty rhetoric like democracy and freedom. The demands are as follows: 1. No Amnesty This refers to an amnesty bill designed by and for Thaksin Shinawatra to absolve himself of a decade of plundering, lying, and mass murder. While the government eventually backed off, it was only because massive street protests were mobilized. When the Constitution Court declared the bill unconstitutional, the ruling regime announced that it no longer recognized the authority of the court even while using constitutionality to condemn the protests. Even though it is considered dead, Thaksins entire future depends on it eventually passing. Protesters feel the only way to truly kill this bill, is to remove entirely the regime attempting such an absurd abuse of power. 2. Reform Before Elections The anti-regime protesters are not, nor have they ever suggested that elections be permanently suspended. Instead, it is recognized that elections now, with no fundamental change to a system that has allowed a mass murdering convicted criminal to run the country by proxy from Dubai will only bring the entire nation back to square one. 3. Restore Article 190 Article 190 of the Thai constitution requires that all treaties be approved by the parliament before they can be signed. In 2004, this mechanism had prevented Thaksin Shinawatra from unilaterally passing a US-Thai free trade agreement, and was one of many attempted circumventions of the law that led to his ouster in 2006. His nepotist-appointed sister Yingluck Shinawatra, has now managed to amend it making it possible for her to unilateral approve treaties (specifically unpopular FTAs). Protesters would like to see this reversed. 4. The Re-Nationalization of Thailands Oil Thailands oil giant, PTT, was privatized and sold off to foreign multinationals under Thaksin Shinawatra in late 2001. Tremendous wealth has been siphoned out of Thailand and sent overseas, particularly to Chevron, one of the many sponsors on the US-ASEAN Business Council that directly supports the Shinawatra regime. 5. Keep Thailand Anti-GMO, Anti-IP The current Thai establishment resisting the Thaksin regime has been stalwartly defending against GMO and intellectual property (IP) laws pushed on them by the United States, the UK, and the EU. In fact, one of the main points of attack by Thaksin Shinawatras Washington lobbyists, was attacking the military council that ousted Thaksin for ignoring US pharmaceutical patents while producing cheaper drugs for poor patients. Regarding GMO, Monsanto has been desperately trying to overrun Thailands food security but to no avail. Would it surprise readers to know that the US-ASEAN Business Council directly supporting Thaksin Shinawatra and his political machine also includes Monsanto? 6. Keep Thailand Sovereign It was recently revealed that the current regime hired the US lobbying firm of Davenport McKesson to, among other things, help arrange the building of a US Navy base in Thailand. Of course, considering the other demands of the protesters, this is unacceptable. Not only must this deal be investigated it must be rolled back and the mechanisms that have allowed it to proceed as far as it did in the first place, be taken apart permanently. Students from Chulalongkorn University had brought up this issue at the Siam site yesterday and signs denouncing the US Navy base had already begun to circulate. The regime has since denied this, and the original PDF found on the US lobbying disclosure site FARA has been promptly taken down (it can be found here on Scribd). Whats Next? Protesters had promised to open roads late Sunday and promptly did so. The masses shifted from the multitude of stages across the city to the permanent protest encampment at Democracy Monument in the old quarter of Bangkok. Others moved to Bangkoks Din Daeng area to surround the police station and the site where the regime plans to hold registration for an election only they will be running in. The goal is to disrupt this and prevent even show elections from taking place forcing the regime to further expose its illegitimacy and eventually collapse. For Thaksin Shinawatra and his foreign sponsors, they can afford to cling to power to the bitter end. After all, neither has anything to lose, and everything to gain. It will be their proxies who pay the price when the inevitable happens and the longer they help Thaksin cling to power, the graver the consequences will be when they finally fail. The anti-regime forces have proven they can mobilize unprecedented numbers time and time again, and have demonstrated that not only are the protest leaders becoming better organized and their message spreading, but those under their various banners are also becoming better organized in smaller, smarter groups. For the regime, the prospect of riding out unrest is not an option. Land Destroyer Report, Alternative Thai News Network and LocalOrg. 
2	G.W. Bush Drops Bombshell In For All America To See About Spoiled NFL Players Protesting On 9/11 [VIDEO] In the past month, weve seen many American athletes banding together to protest against the National Anthem. For anyone who understands the true value of this tradition, this is a pathetic displayand frankly, one were tired of hearing about. Thats why patriots everywhere were thrilled when President George W. Bush took a stand in the classiest way possible. When President Bush stepped out onto the field in Dallas in the coin toss before the Cowboys and the New York Giants, he was accompanied by his wife lady Laura Bush. It had been exactly 15 years since Americans lost their lives in 9/11, and the former first couple was also joined by two first responders from the day. Fox News posted photos of the coin toss, claiming that President Bush deliver[ed] a message t o fans at ATT Stadium as first responders unfurl[ed] a flag over the field. Heres what the former President had to say: Honored to be with David Norman and Robert Zajac of the New York Police Department today, first responders at Ground Zero fifteen years ago. For many of us, today may feel like any Football Sunday in America. For David, Robert, first responders, and those who lost loved ones on 9/11, the memories of that dark day are fresh and so is the pain. Laura and I hold the victims of 9/11 and their families in our hearts, and on this anniversary, we lift them up in our prayers. May God bless all who mourn, and may He continue to bless and watch over our great land. Laura Bush also honored the first responders in a heartfelt message on her Facebook page. 
3	Russia Has Equipped Syria With Their Most Advanced Anti-Ship MissilesMichael Snyder The Syrian military is the most formidable adversary that the U.S. military has tangled with in the Middle East by far. From Syria, P-800 Yakhont anti-ship missiles can cover much of the eastern Mediterranean and can even reach air bases in Cyprus. If the U.S. Navy is not very careful to stay out of range, we could easily see footage of destroyed U.S. naval vessels sinking into the Mediterranean Sea on the evening news. And once the American people see such footage, it will be impossible to stop a full-blown war between the United States and Syria. Syria has highly advanced weapons systems that Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya did not have. Anyone that thinks that we can just sit back and lob cruise missiles at them is being naive. Syria has weapons that have never before been seen in the Middle East. The following is from a recent articleby Mac Slavo According to the report from Syrian-based Dam Pressand the Dyar Newspaper, the Russians arent backing off their Syria policy and they are getting ready to double down by supplying Assads military with weapons the have never before been seen in the middle east. If and when Western forces engage the Syrian army you can be assured that it will be nothing like the 1991 conflict in Iraq when a hundred thousand of Saddam Husseins soldiers surrendered without firing a shot. Nor will it be a no-fly zone free-for-all where air forces will be able to target military assets as they did in Libya without being challenged. No, this time will be different. The Patriot Missiles will be hit and repealed with S300 SAM [already installed in Syria]. Putin also threatened to deliver the more advanced S400 anti-aircraft missiles He added that Russia will also supply Syria with state-of-the-art 24-Barrell rocket launchers which have a range of 60 km ranked as the most developed artillery weapon of its kind. Putin clearly stated that the Middle East is going to witness a significant change. Syria will be armed with weapons that have never been seen before [in the Middle East] including computer guided smart missiles that never miss their target. The weapons systems mentioned in that article are very powerful. For instance, the video posted below contains footage of the rocket launchers mentioned in the article But of most immediate concern for the U.S. military are the anti-ship missiles which Syria has reportedly acquired. According tothe New York Times, the P-800 Yakhont anti-ship missiles that Russia has sent to Syria are equipped with highly advanced radar capabilities Russia has sent advanced antiship cruise missiles to Syria, a move that illustrates the depth of its support for the Syrian government led by President Bashar al-Assad, American officials said Thursday. Russia has previously provided a version of the missiles, called Yakhonts, to Syria. But those delivered recently are outfitted with an advanced radar that makes them more effective, according to American officials who are familiar with classified intelligence reports and would only discuss the shipment on the basis of anonymity. These missiles have a range of approximately 180 miles, and they can do an extraordinary amount of damage The missiles are about 22 feet long, carry either a high-explosive or armor-piercing warhead, and have a range of about 180 miles, according to Janes. They can be steered to a targets general location by longer-range radars, but each missile has its own radar to help evade a ships defenses and home in as it approaches its target. Posted below is video footage of a test firing of a P-800 Yakhont anti-ship missile And yes, these missiles have the rangeto hit targets in Cyprus. Perhaps someone should tell U.S. military planners that it is probably not a good idea to be parking so much air power at bases there. It also looks like the Syrians are going to have plenty of naval targets to shoot at as well. According toReuters, a U.S. carrier group will soon be joining the five U.S. destroyers that are already parked in the eastern Mediterranean The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and other ships in its strike group are heading west toward the Red Sea to help support a limited U.S. strike on Syria, if needed, defense officials said on Sunday. The Nimitz carrier strike group, which includes four destroyers and a cruiser, has no specific orders to move to the eastern Mediterranean at this point, but is moving west in the Arabian Sea so it can do so if asked. It was not immediately clear when the ships would enter the Red Sea, but they had not arrived by Sunday evening, said one official. Its about leveraging the assets to have them in place should the capabilities of the carrier strike group and the presence be needed, said the official. In addition,ABC News says that an amphibious ship with several hundred Marines aboard is also parked in the eastern Mediterranean On Friday, the USS San Antonio, a Navy amphibious ship with several hundred Marines aboard, was ordered to remain in the eastern Mediterranean though defense officials said it too was not part of the U.S. military planning for a limited strike against Syria. Defense officials described the move as a prudent decision should the ships capabilities be required. The San Antonio was originally to be in the Mediterranean as part of a long-scheduled commitment to support U.S. Africa Command, several officials said. The ship was on its way to a port call at the U.S naval base at Souda Bay on the Greek Island of Crete when it was ordered to remain in the area. The San Antonio has resources that could prove useful in future operations in the region. For example, the ship has several hundred Marines aboard from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), as well as several helicopters or V-22 Ospreys that could be useful in helping to rescue downed pilots. So what do you think will happen if the Syrians are able to hit any of our ships or any of the air bases in Cyprus? Do you think that there is any chance that we will be able to avoid a full-blown war at that point?

1	Listing the athletic facilities within two hours of the conclusion of the World Cup final, the Brazilian government has reportedly posted 12 separate advertisements for soccer stadiums on Craigslist, sources confirmed Wednesday. This is a great, gently used stadium that seats almost 40,000, read the post for Arena das Dunas, which featured three grainy photos of the locker room, pitch, and a concession stand, adding that prospective buyers could view the sporting arena, or any of its other 11 for-sale structures, in person by simply touring the unlocked facility on their own. This is perfect for soccer matches, conventions, and college graduations, and would go great with any of the northeast stadiums that are also available. All buyers must be willing to remove from site on their own. Serious inquiries only, please. At press time, the ad had reportedly been updated to state that Brazil would only be willing to sell the stadiums in one-to-one trades for schools and hospitals. 
2	TGI Fridays Kicks Policemen Out Of Restaurant For THIS Ridiculous Reason Were not surprised that T.G.I. Fridays is in the middle of some serious backlash after a manager in Franklin, Tennessee made the decision to deny uniformed Department of Corrections parole officers service. Why? They were armed, of course. According to Johnny Crumby, the president of the Tennessee Fraternal Order of Police, the officers were on active duty at the time. If somebody comes in while someone is on their lunch break, they are not off-duty, Crumby explained to reporters. They are still an officer. They will respond to whatever occurs. Of course, when Americans got a hold of the storythey took to social media to express their outrage, and call for a boycott of the chain. Thanks to your treatment of police officers @ your Franklin, TN loc, Ive had my last mediocre meal at any of your restaurants, Adrain B. wrote on Twitter. The company was quick to release the following statement, and offer the officers a free lunch: The incident at our Franklin, Tennessee, restaurant was caused by a managers misunderstanding of our company gun policy, and that manager has since been coached on the policy and now knows that police officers are always allowed to carry guns in our restaurants, whether they are in uniform or not. What do you think? Is T.G.I. Fridays apology enough? 
1	According to patrons of the gym, All-American Fitness added this new big heavy pull thing Tuesday, over in the corner by the leg press. The thing, which is reportedly pretty much a bunch of tubes and wires and pulleys, has different handles you can attach to it, including a T-bar, two loops on a rope, and some kind of metal swoosh. 'I think it's supposed to work your front muscles,' gym member Liam Kern said. 'I did see a guy working his legs with it, though.' At press time, no one had worked up the courage to ask the gym staff how to use the pull thing, and one person actually strained her quads when she attempted to push it. 
1	According to high-level campaign sources, the second night of the Democratic National Convention will consist solely of three straight hours of the late al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Ladens bloody, bullet-mauled face being projected on every screen and monitor in the Time Warner Cable Arena. From 8 to 11 p.m., were going to dim the house lights and show bin Ladens blown-off face, bloodstained cranial fragments, and exploded brain matter from every conceivable angleeverything from ultra close-ups of his gaping forehead wound to wider shots showing the immense pool of blood pouring from his shattered skull, said Obama campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt, noting that for the 10 p.m. network television broadcast hour, a massive 60-foot screen in the center of the stadium would be lowered to display a continuous loop of never-before-seen high-definition footage of the terrorist masterminds face being ripped apart by bullets. We cant think of a better way to finally release these photographs. The slow-zoom portion of the program where the camera essentially goes into bin Ladens empty eye socket and you can see all the dangling cerebral tissue and nerve endings should be very powerful. Its going to be a fantastic night! LaBolt said the images of bin Laden would be introduced by his fourth wife, Siham Saber.

2	BUSTED: Hillary Clinton Was Just Caught Read Handed For Being Linked To... According to reports from the Washington Free Beacon, a billionaire and a Russian bank named in the Panama Papers have just been linked to presidential hopeful and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The links have come through two separate efforts. The first was through a lobbying firm connected to Clinton, and another is through her long-time associate Sidney Blumenthal. Clinton has been linked to Sberbank, Russias largest bank, through the lobbying firm the Podesta Group, who was co-founded by Clintons campaign chairman John Podesta and his brother, Tony Podesta. Sberbank registered with the group just last month lobby on issues related to economic sanctions against Russia. Georgian billionaire and former Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili has also been named in the papers, which is believed to be one of the largest leaks of financial documents in history. Ivanishvili is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and has appeared in email exchanges with Clintons longtime friend Sidney Blumenthal. Ahead of the 2012 Georgian elections, Blumenthal played a middle-man role for Clinton, passing along to her a memo from Ivanishvili. Though Clinton is not directly implicated in the Panama Papers, it does raise some serious questions about who she is connected to and the potential scandals she could bring back into the White House. What do you think? Does Hillary need to be kept far away from the presidency? 
3	15 Crucial Facts NEVER Heard On The Mainstream MediaLee Camp 
1	Standing waist-deep in one of the many gravel pits that surround the city of Kenema, and struggling to fight off the harsh African sun, local diamond miner Muwomba D'akari was deeply saddened Monday to learn of Linda Hines and David Meyer's recently canceled wedding engagement. 'Dave and Lulu? But that can't be,' said D'akari, who in early 2009 awoke at dawn, dragged his meager frame eight miles to work, and spent half a day digging out the precious stone used by Meyer to propose to his then girlfriend. 'The two of them, they were absolutely perfect for each other. David and Linda, they were so, so in love.' Dave and Linda 'I do not understand,' D'akari added before being whipped by mine supervisors for speaking aloud. 'How could something like this have happened?' The 135-pound villager, who called the broken-off engagement a 'tragedy,' and told reporters that 'Linda was exactly what David needed when he met her,' spent most of Monday afternoon trying to process the news. D'akari said he hadn't felt this upset since the time his entire family was killed during Sierra Leone's decade-long civil war. 'They had so much in common,' the stunned diamond miner said before momentarily blacking out from extreme exhaustion and being revived minutes later. 'And David, he was a Sagittarius, which makes total sense for someone like Linda. Dave even got her to pursue her writing again, which she had basically given up on after college.' 'God, their poor parents,' D'akari added. 'Shirley was so excited for this wedding.' Though reportedly not the type to cry, due in large part to his tear ducts having atrophied after years of dehydration, D'akari wept openly as he spoke of the Ohio-area couple. From the day Meyer first stepped into that Kay Jewelers and picked out the most beautiful ring he could find, to that magical night at Da Vincenzo's when he finally got down on one knee and asked Hines to be his wife, the American pair has always filled D'akari with a sense of warmtheven hope. 'If those two can't make it work, what chance do the rest of us have?' D'akari asked as he clawed away in search of another alluvial deposit, one that would allow him to feed his family, if only for a few more days. 'I'm not really a pessimist, but you hear about something like this, and you can't help but think, what's the point of even trying? I'm sorry, but this just sucks. This just really, really sucks.' Devastated by the senselessness of it all, he then looked up to the heavens, wiped several beads of sweat from his face, and summoned the strength to speak once more. 'And after all that time they spent trying to find a caterer,' D'akari said. 'What a nightmare.' Despite his initial shock and dismay, and what appeared to be an acute case of dysentery, the Sierra Leone villager said he could never give up entirely on the idea of two people falling in love and spending the rest of their lives together, and hopes that some of the other couples he's been able to help will fair better. 'Susan and Michael, Rebecca and Trevor, Paula and George, Rosemary and Jacob, Annabelle and Larry, Gale and Brian, Vanessa and Dale, Joyce and Jonathan, Tracy and Robert, Janet and Victor, Amanda and Harold, Sarah and Thomas, Harriet and Tom, Darla and Christopher, Luanne and William,' D'akari said. 'I wish them all the best of luck.' 
3	Obamas War on Syria: Dissent in the RanksStephen Lendman More on that below. The Pentagon goes all out to avoid dissent in the ranks. It surfaced in Vietnam. Until 1967, order was well maintained. After Tet in late January/February 1968, things changed. Mutinies forced the Pentagon to disguise them with language like combat refusal. Soldiers disobeyed orders. Most were search and destroy missions. They were put in harms way. They faced formidable enemies. At times, entire companies defied commanders. As fear of punishment faded, incidents mushroomed. So did fragging. Its committed when soldiers target a superior with intent to kill. Fragmentation grenades were used. As frustration and anger grew, so did fragging incidents. They became the price for being ordered in harms way against enemies refusing to quit. After Tet, 1,000 or more incidents occurred. Precise numbers arent known. Pentagon officials stopped counting. They downplayed what happened. They suppressed incidents best they could. Officers shot by their men were excluded. They were those listed as wounded or killed in action. Army officials admitted they couldnt account for over 1,400 officer and noncom deaths. Perhaps as many as one-fourth occurred at the hands of subordinates. America was at war with itself. Everyone was the enemy. Officers at times fragged troops they suspected of planning to target them. Congressional hearings in 1973 estimated around 3% of officer and NCO deaths from fragging. Other methods included handguns, automatic rifles, booby traps, knives, and bare hands. The combination of repeated deployments, combat stress, battle fatigue and permanent wars drives some combatants over the edge. Afghanistans another Vietnam. Its Americas longest war. Its longer than WW I and II combined. It shows no signs of ending. It could continue for another decade. Its not known if fragging occurs. If so, Pentagon officials want it suppressed. Americas heading for more war. Servicemen wonder when theyll all end. They bear the brunt of wars harshness. The Washington Post headlined US military officers have deep doubts about impact, wisdom of a US strike on Syria, saying: Many in Americas military have serious reservations. Theyre coping with the scars of two lengthy wars. Theyre uneasy now. According to interviews with more than a dozen military officers ranging from captains to a four-star general, theyve had enough. They fear potential unintended consequences of launching cruise missiles against Syria. Retired Lt. General Gregory S. Newbold was Joint Chiefs of Staff operations director during the run-up to Bushs Iraq war. Theres a broad naivete in the political class about Americas obligations in foreign policy issues, and scary simplicity about the effects that employing American military power can achieve, he said. Marine Lt. Colonel Gordon Miller warned about potentially devastating consequences, including a fresh round of weapons attacks and a military response by Israel. Military skepticism grows. Obamas rushing headlong into the breach. Hes heading where angels fear to tread. Hes mindless of potential fallout. Hindsight wont save thousands of lost lives. The Daily Mail showed a photo of an unidentified heavily decorated US chief petty officer. He displayed a sign saying: I didnt join the Navy to fight for Al Qaeda in a Syrian civil war! Zero Hedge reported it days earlier. It headlined Unidentified Navy Officer Sums It Up, saying: Whether or not hes real, he sums up many of the perspectives ahead of Obamas planned war on Syria. For days, the image went viral. It did so on social media web sites. It indicates dissent in the ranks. It suggests servicemen know theyre waging wars for the wrong reasons. Theyre being lied to. It doesnt make things easier for Obama. On September 1, the Middle East Monitorheadlined British and American anti-war movements protest against military intervention in Syria. Britains Stop the War Coalition demonstrated in Central London Saturday. Thousands nationwide attended. Stop the War chair, MP Jeremy Corbyn, thanked people for lobbying their members of parliament. We are a coalition of the willing and to that end well keep active for peace, and to ensure that this proves to be a turning point in British Foreign Policy, he said. Its not the end of the struggle, he warned. There still exists the danger of renewed conflict as the interests of the military, arms dealers and others remain ever present and very powerful. Anti-war protesters demonstrated across America. They turned out in Washington, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, and other US cities. Turks protested against their governments involvement. So did Palestinians, Germans, Greeks, Jordanians, and Venezuelans. Voice of Russia headlined Obomba, dont drone Syria: anti-war protests held around the world. On September 2, Russia Today headlined I did not join for this: US military men speak out against Syria strike, saying: Rep. Justin Amash (R. MI) tweeted about US servicemen against Obama attacking Syria. He said he heard from a lot of members of our Armed Forces. Their message is consistent. Please vote no on military action against Syria. Mr. King messaged him saying: 13 year USAF vet here. Thanks for actually appreciating our constitution! Vote no to actions in Syria! George said: Former Army Ranger. 2 tours in Iraq. 1 tour in Afghanistan. Please vote no on military action in Syria. Matt Drennan messaged: Navy vet here. 9 years. I know you will vote no. Thank you! A number of pictures showed men in military uniforms displaying anti-war signs. One said: I did not Join the military to get involved in other countries Civil Wars. STAY OUT OF SYRIA. A marines.com message said: Message to the United States Marine corp: Dear US Marines, This is written by your brothers in the Syrian Army, who have been fighting Al Qaeda for the last 3 years. We understand your patriotism and love for your country so please understand our love for ours. Obama is a traitor who wants to put your lives in danger to rescue Al Qaeda insurgents. Marines, please take a look at what your comrades think about Obamas alliance with Al Qaeda against Syria. Your officer in charge probably has no qualms about sending you to die against soldiers just like you, fighting a vile common enemy. The Syrian army should be your ally, not your enemy. Refuse your orders and concentrate on the real reason every soldier joins their military, to defend their homeland. Youre more than welcome to fight alongside our army rather than against it. Your brothers, the Syrian soldiers. A message delivered by the SEA (Syrian Electronic Army). Five images were displayed. US servicemen held anti-Syrian war signs. The New Yorker headlined Syrias Other Army: How the Hackers Wage War. SEA supports Syrias liberating struggle. It said: Media is going down. It hacked The New York Times web site twice in August. It asked Twitter: Are you ready? TheNew Yorker called its attacks on major media and journalists remarkably successful. It targeted Al Jazeera several times. Qatars monarchy controls it. Its part of Washingtons coalition of the killing. Its fiercely anti-Assad. SEA penetrated BBC Twitter accounts. It highjacked APs. It defaced NPRs site. It commandeered the Twitter accounts of 60 Minutes and the Guardian. In May, it compromised the Twitter account of the Onion, tweeting vaguely Onion-ish headlines like UNs Ban Ki Moon condemns Syria for being struck by Israel: It was in the way of Jewish missiles onion.com/104PKAs. That same month, it hacked the Financial Timess Web site and several associated Twitter accounts, as well as the account of E! News. Then it took over the Reuters Twitter feed. And earlier this month, it broke into Outbrain, a third-party service that recommends stories on news sites, allowing the SEA to vandalize the Web sites of Time, CNN, and the Washington Post in a single strike. And it redirected Post readers to one of its own sites. Wars can be waged lots of ways. Online its mostly immune from Obamas cruise missile diplomacy. If taken down, it can resurface. It can do it repeatedly. It can message supporters worldwide. It can enlist new support. It can disrupt pro-war sites. It can fight on even terms. It can be surprisingly successful. It can reach whatever audience it wishes. It can do so through social media. Thats what ultimately makes this group so remarkable, said the New Yorker. (I)t has shifted the battleground from a single place to an infinite number of them, because its battling for attention, not power even if it can be hard to tell the difference. Against long odds, Syrias struggle for survival continues. Its using all the tools at its disposal. It deserves worldwide support.

1	Following his overnight arrival in Ukraine amid the escalating regional tensions over the the Crimean peninsula, sources confirmed seeing U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry wearing a trench coat and cloaked in shadows at the back of a seedy, smoke-filled Kiev caf Tuesday while reportedly awaiting a woman known to him only as Dasha. All I know is that my contact goes by the name Dasha, and from the dossier I was given, shes extremely beautiful, deadly, and not keen on making my life easy, the United States top diplomat was reportedly overheard saying between drags of a pencil-thin cigarette held between his pursed lips. The one thing I do know is there isnt a chance in hell this secretary of state leaves Kiev without first making nice with Dasha. No, one way or another I need Dasha, and not just because shes a mysteriously alluring beauty whos been known to seduce her share of foreign ministers. I mustnt underestimate her cunning and intelligence eitherlets just say this is a woman who knows a thing or two, particularly about the socioeconomic realities of eastern Europe and the political divisions among the ethnic populations in the region. At press time, Kerry had reportedly detected the unmistakable scent of rosewood and nightshade, Dashas signature perfume. 
3	The El Hierro Volcano Ready To Blow?Strong Quake And Rapid Inflation In The Canary Islands A 5.4 earthquake yesterday marked a change in the small, low-level earthquake swarm that has been a feature of life in the Canary Islands for more than two years. The underwater volcano that appeared just off the coast of El Hierro two years ago has also changed in height, increasing more than four inches in just a couple of days. This rapid inflation is increasing in pace, whileharmonic tremors have been recorded, and they also are increasing as the day moves on. Both the rise in height and the increasing harmonic tremor indicates that magma is moving into the system and that the pressure is building within the volcano. A vent opened near the village of La Restinga in 2011 and high Radon gas emissions in the area indicate that magma is once again on the move. The Radon, which is heavier than air, poses a risk to people using basements and ground floor rooms in southern El Hierro. La Palma, the Canary Island we hear most about lies some 100 miles from the epicenter of the 5.4 quake. La Palma is home to the Cumbre Vieja volcano. The west flank of the stratovolcano is unstable in comparison to the rest of the island, and scientists have long feared a collapse that would throw so much debris into the sea a mega-tsunami would result. Some scientists are postulating the theory that some volcanic systems are linked deep underground; sometimes linking volcanoes hundreds of miles apart from each other. Lets hope The Cumbre Vieja and El Hierro arent linked, or we may be finding out if Day and Ward are right a lot sooner than we anticipated.

1	Amid the bleak backdrop of imminent economic collapse, worried observers got some good news last October when executives from the nation's top 10 failing companies celebrated the historic $700 billion government bailout with an ultra- extravagant $800 billion party aimed at restoring confidence and bolstering their resolve. 'It's never ideal for private corporations to rely on public funding, but we would not have been able to survive another week without letting loose and throwing this massive bash,' Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain said aboard his newly purchased $22 million yacht, the Excelsior. 'We can only hope it's not a case of too little too late.' Three thousand guests were reportedly flown on 750 separate private jets to the Caribbean, where they commemorated the last-minute financial aid packagewhich saved their companies from the subprime mortgage crisis that has left thousands of Americans without homeswith 4-tons of Beluga caviar, $250,000 bottles of vintage Dom Prignon served over precious gems, a 36-hour fireworks display, an additional loan of $200 billion to cover the costs of the gala, and a private concert for each attendee with rock legend Rod Stewart. Held October 47 on all three of the Cayman Islands, the historic economic-stimulus celebration, spokespeople said, sent an important signal to the world that Wall Street was weathering the crisis in style. 'I'm glad we were all humble enough to recognize that we couldn't do this on our own,' said AIG CEO Edward Liddy, sitting in a hot tub filled with Cristal and seven dozen endangered-quail eggs. 'Having come so close to disaster, it is crucial that I eat these 24-karat-gold-leaf-wrapped chocolate truffles to boost stockholder morale and show all the critics and naysayers that we are carrying on just as we always have.' 'Do not worry, America,' Liddy added. 'It's business as usual at AIG.' In a sign of the new era of financial responsibility ushered in by the bailout, the CEOs estimated that they came in a full $100 billion under the party's projected $900 billion budgeta windfall they immediately reinvested in their companies' ailing executive-Christmas-bonus divisions. 
2	Killer Bug Spreads Across The U.S.... Experts Calling It The New Aids [SEE SYMPTOMS] According to recent reports, a deadly bug deemed the new Aids has made its way to the United States, infecting 17 people in Houston, Texas. The bug is also called the kissing bug, but dont let the name fool you, some health experts are calling it the silent killer. Formally called Revuviid bug, the disease originates in Latin America. The first symptoms of the disease are similar to the flu, including fever, fatigue, body aches, rash, diarrhea and vomiting. Perhaps the most frightening thing about the bug is that these symptoms typically fade into an asymptomatic phase. The reduviid bug carries a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi, which is known to cause Chagas disease in humans, eventually leading to heart and intestinal problems. People dont normally feel sick, so they dont seek medical care, but it ultimately ends up causing heart disease in about 30 percent of those who are infected, epidemiologist Nolan Garcia from the Baylor College of Medicine told reporters. We think of Chagas disease as a silent killer. The parasite has infected 7 to 8 million people worldwide. Experts believe that there may be more people in the United States who are already affected. Have you had any of these symptoms? Share this article with your family and friends to help spread the word!

3	Facebook Considers Adding 1 Billion Members to Facial Recognition Database: ReportMadison Ruppert Though theyve considered this move in the past, the process was delayed by a significant amount of outcry from European legislators. That hasnt stopped them from developing the technology, evidenced by their acquisition of Israeli facial recognition company Face.com last year. Facebook revealed the possible action in an update to their data use policy on Thursday, Reuters reports, something which they claim is aimed at improving the performance of their Tag Suggest feature. Tag Suggest uses facial recognition technology to make the process of tagging people in photos posted to Facebook faster and easier. Many privacy advocates voiced concerns about the capability when it was first announced in 2011. Currently, Facebook automatically identifies faces in someones new photos uploaded to the site by comparing them to previous pictures the users were tagged in. As Reuters interestingly points out, The changes would come at a time when Facebook and other Internet companies privacy practices are under scrutiny, following the revelations of a U.S. government electronic surveillance program. Indeed, reports revealed that internet giants like Google and Facebook worked directly with the government on the PRISM program, though they issued cleverly worded denials after the reports were published. The obvious implication is that this type of information could be used by the government, which would hardly be surprising given the amount of money spent on facial recognition programs. Our goal is to facilitate tagging so that people know when there are photos of them on our service, Egan said. Interestingly, Egan could not deny that the facial recognition technology could be used for other features. Can I say that we will never use facial recognition technology for any other purposes? Absolutely not, Egan said. However, she said that Facebook users who are uncomfortable with the idea of their profile pictures being used in a giant facial recognition database will still have the ability to opt-out of the Tag Suggest feature. The entire feature is not available in Europe due to concerns raised by regulators there, Reuters reports. While Egan could not say if facial recognition will be used for anything other than Tag Suggest, she claimed if we decided to use it in different ways we will continue to provide people transparency about that and we will continue to provide control. Facebook also changed the language contained in its Statement of Rights and Responsibilities in order to indicate that users under 18 have indicated that their parent or legal guardian has given Facebook permission to let marketers use some of their personal data in ads.

2	BREAKING: ISIS Beheads Another Hostage, Says American War Veteran Is Next According to recent reports, ISIS released yet another video on Friday showing the beheading of a British hostage named Alan Henning. The video followed the same format weve grown accustomed to: Henning gives a brief statement to the government, and shortly thereafter he is beheaded. I am Alan Henning, the video starts. Because of our parliaments decision to attack the Islamic state I as a member of the British public will now pay the price for that decision. The beheader then adds, The blood of David Haines was on your hands Cameron, Alan Henning will also be slaughtered but his blood is on the hands of the British parliament. The terrorist then grabs Hennings throat and the screen is cut. Moments later, Hennings body is shown on the ground. The terrorist then goes on to reveal that his next hostage will be American war veteran Peter Kassig. Obama you have started your aerial bombardment in Sham which keeps on striking our people, so its only right we continue to strike the necks of your people. What do you think? Does ISIS need to be stopped immediately? 
2	CHILLING: Obama Did THIS Right After Nancy Reagans Death America mourned on Sunday when it was announced that former first lady Nancy Reagan had passed away at the age of 94. Leaders throughout the country spoke up in her honor. Of course, President Obama was late to join in their sentiments. He has always made it clear that he is not a fan of Ronald Reagan. In fact, he didnt even speak up until he had already started receiving criticism from the American public. Our former First Lady redefined the role in her time here, the official statement from Barack and Michelle Obama read. Later, in her long goodbye with President Reagan, she became a voice on behalf of millions of families going through the depleting, aching reality of Alzheimers, and took on a new role, as advocate, on behalf of treatments that hold the potential and promise to improve and save lives. We offer our sincere condolences to their children, Patti, Ron, and Michael, and to their grandchildren, Obama continued. And we remain grateful for Nancy Reagans life, thankful for her guidance, and prayerful that she and her beloved husband are together again. The statement, beautiful though it is, was almost certainly forced by Obamas team. What do you think of Obamas comments?

1	Following last week's tragic loss of yet another family member, the grieving Kennedys released a list of numerous heartbreaking ways the dynasty's remaining living relatives could die, sources confirmed Tuesday. This list, which is formatted very simply with the name of a family member followed by 10 to 15 upsetting ways that each specific person could die, was faxed to all major news outlets, and includes such methods of death as 'car crash, pill overdose, murder, and water-skiing accident.' According to the Kennedys, all family members could potentially die in a private plane crash. 'Robert F. Kennedy Jr.' the document read in part. 'Deadly fall, drowning in Martha's Vineyard, brain aneurysm during a speech in front of a large crowd of people, boating accident, carbon-monoxide poisoning, assassination at the hands of Sirhan Sirhan Jr., heart attack during some kind of humiliating sexual experience, house fire, reported missing and then later found decapitated in the woods, stroke.' 'Crushed by large wooden beam,' Kennedy's section concluded. While the original list was sent at 11:40 p.m. Tuesday, sources have speculated that the Kennedy family felt it was incomplete, because at 12:40 a.m. an addendum to the document was released, adding 'mutilation of some kind' to 84-year-old Jean Kennedy Smith's list of potential ways she could die, accidental self-strangulation to 27-year-old Kyle Francis Kennedy's section, and SIDS to the myriad ways 5-week-old Owen Patrick Kennedy might unexpectedly and tragically be killed. 'I see this list as a self-coping mechanism on the part of the Kennedys, and a way to emotionally prepare themselves for the inevitable sudden deaths of their relatives,' University of Pennsylvania psychology professor David Claflin told reporters. 'This way, if Rory Kennedy dies after a bout of anorexia, or is found with a broken neck at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, nobody in the family will be surprised because it's on the list.' At press time, Edward Moore Kennedy Jr., 50, was driving 20 mph over the speed limit on a very windy road in Nashua, NH. 
3	1974 PSA Warned of High Tech Surveillance State for Behavior ControlA tormenting thought: as of a certain point, history was no longer real. Without noticing it, all mankind suddenly left reality. Elias Canetti, Nobel Laureate in literature As more and more information is released via National Security Administration whistleblower Edward Snowden, many Americans drifting through each day blissfully unaware of what country they really live in have had the curtain pulled back just enough to be fed their first spoonful of realityits a bitter taste. The clip below is of a public service message warning the public on the growing use of technology and surveillance by government and corporations (though who can really tell the difference these days) to control our lives. Sure, you say. We know all about that. Snowden has conclusively shown us with leaked documentation what our government is doing to us. Ah. But the film was not made last week or even last decade; it was filmed in 1974. Watch and listen. No, really listen. This message isnt just to warn us about the coming technological surveillance state itself, but how its construct is to be used as a form of behavioral control on a mass scale. Earlier in his career, Reggio helped create the Institute for Regional Education in 1974 which produced a series of public service messages that were perhaps even more foretelling of the system taking hold, if only for spelling it out in words we now recognize as, controversially, the real society we are living in every day. In this clip, a literal talking head placed inside a television explains our modern society: Few if any of us can understand. Extensive information gathering on every American; human experiments with drugs and psycho-surgery; electronic surveillance; the era of the computer; invasion of privacy; growing government and corporate power over our lives. A people plagued by dehumanization, loneliness and violence. Godfrey Reggio was not simply warning about the coming era of public surveillance and the end of privacy albeit in precise terms but he was specifically criticizing, in dire terms, the dangerous embrace of technology as a way of life. According to the official website forKoyaanisqatsi describing the Institute for Regional Education: Is technology a new and comprehensive environment, the host of life, that has replaced the natural order? Is technology the new universal religion? Can faiths unquestioned become our prisons? Should we place blind faith in the techno-clergy of the new order? Regio also quotes from author Jacques Ellul, author of The Technological Society and Propaganda: The Formation of Mens Attitudes: The crisis that we are approaching today is of yet another order. For it entails the transition, not from one form of society and power to another, but to a new environmentThe present crisisis a total crisis triggered by transition to a new and previously unknown environment, the technological environment.The present change of environment is much more fundamental than anything that the race has experienced for the last five thousand years. Snowdens revelations should not be taken at face value. His leaks are snapshots of what our reality really is. This is what our society has become. The media dutifully bathes us in this information, legitimizing this power, all the while reassuring us the gaping maw of government that continuously inhales our ones and zeroes can be boiled down to a basically harmless action only undertaken for our safetyand nothing more. Now watch the clip above again and think. No, really think. This isnt just about keeping tabs on everyone. It never was. Theres a bigger picture here thats floating right over the majoritys heads as they get wrapped up in the spying aspect, the email reading, the phone conversation eavesdropping, whatever juicy little tidbit the mainstream media mentions next. Go beyond the data. This is about controlling us.

2	The Biker Gang Taking On The Islamic State Just Got Bigger Recently, the Median Empire Motorcycle Club, based out of Germany, has been updating their Facebook page with images from their continued war with the Islamic State. Several members of the group have joined Kurdish forces to battle Islamic State militants in the Syrian city of Kobane, one of the deadliest in the area. The photos show the gang members in action. One photo shows to riders armed with automatic rifles, climbing a hill and ready to go into battle. Another shows a member of the Dutch No Surrender motorcycle gang also joining the group. The photos reflect the determination of the growing group of German and Dutch bikers risking their lives and taking on the Islamic State. Social media has been an important part of sharing their story, and has also helped them to distribute food and aid to the Yazidis in a refugee camp. What do you think of the gangs banding together? 
1	In an announcement with far-reaching implications for the fate of human civilization, a time-traveling man from the 22nd century revealed Monday that, in the future, earth's inhabitants consume Dippin' Dots rather than traditional ice cream. 'People of the 21st century, the future holds great and wonderful things,' said the man, who only identified himself as 'Wolcott,' during an address televised in all of the world's countries. 'One hundred years from now, dessert items are made by flash-freezing beads of cream with liquid nitrogen, then storing them in subzero conditions. People enjoy these treats with great regularity, and often remark upon how delicious they taste.' 'Put down your crude melting desserts of churned animal's milk and embrace the glorious world of high-tech flash-frozen treats.'<b> &#8211;The Future Man</b> 'We call this ubiquitous dessert of the future 'Dippin' Dots,'' the man added. Wolcott, a self-described physicist and adventurer who traveled back in time from 2147 New York City, expressed disbelief that cryogenic encapsulation was not yet humanity's primary dessert-making technique, and called present-day dessert options 'confusing.' 'What is this primitive 'iced cream' you people consume?' Wolcott asked as he cautiously handled a two-scoop chocolate ice-cream cone and examined it with curiousity. 'Today, I saw human beings putting cold dairy products into their mouthsproducts of an odd, thick consistency and bland monochromatic color. Why would people eat this syrupy gruel when they could eat hundreds of individually frozen orbs? In my time, when a meal is completed, we all eat bowls of Dippin' Dots. I cannot conceive of any other way of life.' As ice cream melted and dripped onto his hand, Wolcott shrieked, threw the cone to the ground, and stamped on it repeatedly with his foot. The soon-to-be ubiquitous delight. Pressed to explain what life is like in his time, Wolcott described a fantastical world in which grocers' freezers are stocked exclusively with Dippin' Dots, birthdays are celebrated with hot-fudge Dippin' Dots sundaes, and, in the summertime, children run excitedly through the streets following the familiar jingle of a Dippin' Dots truck. The Dippin' Dots man then distributes cups of Dippin' Dots to the children, who rejoice heartily. Dippin' Dots, the future man said, are a world-famous treat and a staple of Americana. 'As soon as I arrived in your era, I entered a dining establishment and asked to see the dessert menu, as I had a not-unusual craving for Dippin' Dots,' Wolcott said. 'Yet my eyes encountered a series of words and pictures completely foreign to me, and I began to weep, for I realized that I am a stranger in a strange land where Dippin' Dots are not a popular and universally beloved dessert.' According to Wolcott, technological advances in microbiology and cold storage will make it possible to mass-produce Dippin' Dots and distribute them worldwide, allowing mankind to abandon its archaic system of slowly churning fresh dairy ingredients into a rich, velvety cream. 'It seems the legends of 21st-century man's crude ice creameating habits are all true,' Wolcott said. 'I see the way you consume these dripping concoctions with protruding tongues, the way the dark cream dribbles down your chins, the way your workers must dig tirelessly with spherical metal 'scooping' devices to even obtain this product.' 'Barbarians!' Wolcott added. 'Dippin' Dots can be poured effortlessly into cups. They do not melt or make a mess, and plus they are very fun to eat.' Wolcott revealed that, a century from now, standard flavors such as chocolate and vanilla will be replaced by more innovative Dippin' Dots flavors like Cherry Berry Ice, Tropical Tie-Dye, and Candy Bar Crunch. He also cryptically foretold of something called the 'dotwich,' a mysterious confection he only described as 'a combination of Dippin' Dots and fudge placed between two cookies.' The prevailing reaction among U.S. citizens has been one of dismay. 'No ice cream?' said Deborah Cirillo, 42, of Montville, NJ. 'Boo.' 'I must go now, for I grow tired and I hunger for Dippin' Dots,' said Wolcott, concluding the address. 'I only hope that your culture survives long enough to experience an era in which the delicious and unique Dippin' Dotsbrand frozen dairy dessert that I enjoy so freely is fully embraced and widely available. Good luck, and godspeed.' Before he left, Wolcott also mentioned that, in the future, 99 percent of the world's population has AIDS and we are all slaves to the machines. 
1	Following the quarterbacks recent concussion against the Steelers, Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski told reporters Tuesday that Jason Campbell has been cleared by team doctors to resume light brain activity. Jason passed all the necessary tests yesterday, so hes now been given the green light to carry out some very basic cerebral functions, said Chudzinski, adding that the 31-year-old play caller has already begun sending neural signals to his cardiovascular system to pump blood throughout his body, as well as using his brain stem to subconsciously control the rate of his breathing. The doctors are quite happy with his ability to regulate his heartbeat, display elementary motor control of his body, and form thoughts, so were hoping to have him speaking and using intellectual reasoning by the end of the week. And Jason himself is very eager to get back on the field as soon as possible, at least from what we can gather based on his facial expressions. At press time, team sources confirmed that Campbell was sitting motionless on the floor of the Browns practice facility and quietly drooling on himself. 
3	What investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson told me about vaccinesJon Rappoport As my readers know, Ive written many articles about vaccines, covering: mandatory shots; the pseudoscience of vaccination; severe adverse effects; poisons in shots; disastrous vaccination campaigns, and so on. This article is about something else. Its about who is allowed to speak fully in mainstream media. If truth were the objective of news, you would see reasoned debates between pro and anti-vax proponents on major networks-but thats a joke because no reasoned debates are permitted on any sensitive subject. When it comes to vaccines, major media are all about what doctors tell us. If I may be so bold, who cares what doctors say? Who cares? Why are doctors a privileged class? Why do they get a free pass? Lets seeoh yes, its because government and drug companies back them up. The last time I looked, this has nothing to do with the truth. It has to do with monopoly, though. Im a doctor, and of course Im pro-vaccine. Welcome, Doctor, good to have you on the show. Or: Im not a doctor. Sorry, youre out. Or: Im a doctor, and Im against vaccines. Youre suffering from a mental disorder, Doctor, and youre a traitor to your profession and a threat to the future of the human race. Media construct this premise: the pro-vaccine experts are truthtellers, and the people who question vaccines are denialists. Thats how the issue is framed. Ahead of time. On purpose. The millions of brainwashed people who watch the news every night and genuflect and live inside that dream are content to believe the good doctors. They have to believe someone, because they have no opinion of their own. They dont have the tools to form a reasoned opinion. If a doctor told them that four shots of bull sperm would protect their children from a virus floating in from the Orion Belt, theyd line up their kiddies at clinics and drug stores for the free jab. An anti-vaccine reporter at a local TV station once told me shed been labeled trouble. She wasnt permitted to air any vaccine story, for fear that through word or gesture she might trigger a scandal. Part of that scandal? Scores of viewers would contact the station and side with the anti-vaccine reporter. The execs knew those viewers were out there and were also trouble. On August 27, 2014, a long-time researcher at the CDC, William Thompson, confessed in print that he and his colleagues had cooked a vital vaccine study to prove the MMR vaccine had no connection to autismwhen in fact that was a lie. The vaccine did have a connection. A media storm should have followed. A respected researcher coming out of the woodwork and saying, I lied? Thats a huge story for major media and medical media. But? There was a virtual blackout on the story. There still is. The vaccine establishment must be protected. In the fall of 2009, Sharyl Attkisson, working at CBS News, blew the doors open on a huge Swine Flu scandal at the CDC: The CDC, whose job it was to accurately report the number of Swine Flu cases in the US, had stopped counting. Stopped counting. Why? Because the overwhelming number of blood samples from diagnosed or likely Swine Flu patients, coming back from testing labs, showed these people didnt have Swine Flu or any flu. That fact torpedoed the entire CDC propaganda- fear campaign aimed at convincing Americans to take the Swine Flu vaccine. SoSharyl Attkissons effort to move this story from the CBS News website on to the national nightly-news television broadcast was shot down. Here is a piece from a 2014 interview I did with Attkisson: Q: In 2009, you spearheaded coverage of the so-called Swine Flu pandemic. You discovered that, in the summer of 2009, the Centers for Disease Control, ignoring their federal mandate, stopped counting Swine Flu cases in America. Yet they continued to stir up fear about the pandemic, without having any real measure of its impact. Wasnt that another investigation of yours that was shut down? Wasnt there more to find out? A: The implications of the story were even worse than that. We discovered through our FOI efforts that before the CDC mysteriously stopped counting Swine Flu cases, they had learned that almost none of the cases they had counted as Swine Flu was, in fact, Swine Flu or any sort of flu at all! The interest in the story from one [CBS] executive was very enthusiastic. He said it was the most original story hed seen on the whole Swine Flu epidemic. But others pushed to stop it and, in the end, no broadcast wanted to touch it. We aired numerous stories pumping up the idea of an epidemic, but not the one that would shed original, new light on all the hype. It was fair, accurate, legally approved and a heck of a story. With the CDC keeping the true Swine Flu stats secret, it meant that many in the public took and gave their children an experimental vaccine that may not have been necessary. Q: Youve revealed serious problems caused by vaccines. Have you run into opposition as a result of covering these stories? A: This is a long discussion but yes, it is one of the most well funded, well orchestrated efforts Ive ever seen on a story. Many reporters, if not all, who have tried to factually cover this topic have experienced the same opposition as have researchers who dared to uncover vaccine side effects. Those who dont want the stories explored want to censor the information from the public entirely, lest the public draw the wrong conclusions about the facts. The media has largely bought into the conflicted government, political and medical complex propaganda on the topic that marginalizes researchers, journalists and parents who dare to speak to the scientific facts theyve uncovered or to their own experiences. Its a giant scandal of its own. Q: I know youve had problems with your Wikipedia page. What happened there? A: Long story short: there is a concerted effort by special interests who exploit Wikipedia editing privileges to control my biographical page to disparage my reporting on certain topics and skew the information. Judging from the editing, the interest(s) involved relates to the pharmaceutical/vaccine industry. I am far from alone Does that tell you something about the way major media cover vaccine stories? There is even more. The staggering capper on this tale? Roughly three weeks after Attkissons Swine Flu revelations appeared in print, the CDC, obviously in great distress over the exposure, decided to double down. The best lie to tell would be a huge lie. Here, from a November 12, 2009, WebMD article is the CDCs response: Shockingly, 14 million to 34 million U.S. residents the CDCs best guess is 22 million came down with H1N1 swine flu by Oct. 17 [2009]. (22 million cases of Swine Flu in US, by Daniel J. DeNoon) The CDC had no facts or stats or lab tests to confirm ANY of their reported numbers of Swine Flu cases in America. So they said: 22 MILLION CASES. But dont worry. Be happy. Everything the government tells you about disease and the need to take vaccines is perfectly true. Perfectly, absolutely.

2	Voter Fraud Running Rampant In Illinois... Look At THIS Madness The liberal media may be trying to portray Donald Trump as a conspiracy theorist, but its getting harder to deny that voter fraud is taking over the nation. In Chicago, investigators discovered 119 dead residents who have voted a total of 229, after their burial. According to reports, many Chicagoans are never officially removed from the voter rolls, so if someone happens to cast a ballot for them, their vote is counted. CBS2 Chicago reviewed voter rolls and compared them with Social Security death records and found that more than a hundred dead city residents voted for years after they passed away. One man, for example, has voted 11 times since he died 26 years ago. There are just a few instances here where a father came in for a son, or a neighbor was given the wrong ballot application and signed it, city election board spokesman Jim Allen, calling the issue clerical errors. This new information comes after an undercover investigation from Project Veritas showed Democratic operations bragging about how they incite violence and hatred at Donald Trump rallies. Corruption even involved manipulating the mentally ill. This is not the bad old days, Allen added. These are just a few instances here where a father came in for a son, or a neighbor was given the wrong ballot application and signed it. Allen may be willing to dismiss this as a clerical error, but the fact is that many of the cases have no clear explanation. Allen is a questionable source anyways, given that he claims 60,000 dead voters have been purged from the rolls over the last decade. Two investigators found numerous examples of that not happening. But there are many stories like Robert Sallees, who claims he has tried to report his mothers death multiple times. Theyre just not taking her off the rolls, Sallee told reporters. What do you think? Is this absolutely unacceptable? 
1	A federal probe revealed Friday that at least six U.S. border guards have been caught on tape attempting to boost arrests by planting illegal immigrants in cars entering the United States from Mexico. 'In a typical scenario, suspected smugglers are asked to step out of their vehicles, and while one agent interrogates them, another slips an undocumented underneath the front seat,' said investigator Douglas Jennings, showing grainy surveillance footage to reporters. 'One immigrant we know of has been used as evidence in 12 separate cases.' The report comes on the heels of allegations last week that Canadian border guards have been slipping extra medication into Americans' cars simply because the drivers looked like they could really use it. 
2	Target Is Now Being FORCED To Do This, After Transgender Bathroom Controversy Last week, Target made the controversial announcement that they were going to start allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with. Not surprisingly, the decision did not go over well with the general public. Now, a viral boycott of almost 400,000 customers has swept the internet, pledging not to shop at the store due to the policy which they believe endangers the public. Now, a statement by Target could make the situation even worse. In our stores, we demonstrate our commitment to an inclusive experience in many ways, the statement read. Most relevant for the conversations currently underway, we welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity. We regularly assess issues and consider many factors such as impact to our business, guests and team members. Given the specific questions these legislative proposals raised about how we manage our fitting rooms and restrooms, we felt it was important to state our position. What do you think? Did Target just prove that they are absolutely clueless when it comes to the true needs of their customers? Are they putting women and children in jeopardy? 
1	Triggering a range of emotional responses that had lain dormant in his psyche for decades, approximately 35 different chemical processes were reportedly activated in the brain of local man Rob Northcutt upon hearing the phrase pigs in a blanket Tuesday. According to accounts, within nanoseconds of recognizing the words and calling to mind the dough-wrapped cocktail wieners, the mans limbic system simultaneously summoned feelings of hunger, joy, envy, desire, and even, somehow, a deep sense of loss. Additionally, the flood of neurotransmitters and flurry of synaptic activity, which reportedly spanned four areas of Northcutts temporal lobe, is said to have conjured up a diverse mixture of tastes, smells, sounds, and memories, including that of late-summer sunlight, the sharp aroma of dijon mustard, the pattern on the dishware at his grandparents old house, and the chorus of the song Where Do You Go by No Mercy, which was playing at a family wedding in 1997 where pigs in a blanket were served. At press time, Northcutt heard the words German potato salad, sparking not a single chemical or emotional response and leaving him feeling completely numb. 
3	Horrible Whodunit: Vandals Destroy Tens of Thousands of BeesHeather Callaghan So imagine the horror of beekeeper Stephen Mantell when he went into his back yard this weekend to find his hives strewn about and wrecked. Natural or animal causes didnt add up he found footprints on the hive boxes that contained the living cargo. Who would have the motive to do such a thing? With or without meaning to, even the newscasters cant help but hint at whom the perpetrators might be. Stephen went to care for his bees this past weekend only to see 10 years worth of special care evaporated. Multiple tens of thousands of bees are lost he estimates 30,000 have died and the number will keep growing for awhile. I built these form scratch the money isnt the big issue its just killing something like that there is no sense in it. Footprints showed evidence that made him believe someone had kicked down the wooden structures containing the hives, many of which were discovered in the nearby creek. He was able to reassemble some of the wreckage but has experienced a 25% loss. For 10 years, the hives were quietly tucked behind his Murrells Inlet, South Carolina home. Wouldnt you know it just so happens In the last two months, Mantell had received a letter from his home owners association (HOA)Chicora Development,requesting that he remove his hives. He responded to them highlighting the fact that the hives do not violate any HOA regulations. Before a resolution could be reached, his hives were destroyed. And Mantell doesnt expect anything to come from the police report he filed. He said that whoever did not like his bees, found a better way to get rid of them. Weve written about conflicts people have when what they do on personal property is threatened by city ordinances law within city limits. For instance, the little boy who could not have a free library lending box in the front yard. If youre one of 62 million people in the U.S. who belongs to an HOA, youre under yet another set of jurisdiction rule of law within housing limits. While HOAs are subject to statutes regarding non-profit corporations, they arent really regulated their word stands. HOA standards are supposed to be beneficial and the people who pay their dues expect to have a voice, but that isnt always the case. Imagine getting threatened with a foreclosure lien and $8,000 in fines not because you didnt pay your dues but because you placed an American flag near your doorstep. Or how about getting sued by your HOA for planting flowers? If raising an eyebrow in the HOAs direction seems extreme, look what happens when WBTW News13 tries to get answers about Chicora Developments rules: WBTW-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Florence, SC Recently, two activists who were accused of freeing mink from a corporate fur-farm were tracked, watched and arrested by the FBI and indicted as terrorists! How? Under this law the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. But when vandals kill off a beekeepers bees another threatened population? Nothing. It appears that some corporations people are more equal than others. Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

3	A Comically Dishonest Defense of the Drug WarScott Morgan Seriously, just take for example this one item from Sabets list of things he likes about the drug war: Intervention: If individuals do start to use drugs, we know that brief interventions (by doctors, coaches, parents, faith leaders, or others) do a pretty good job at stopping the progression of use from non-dependence to addiction. Others!? Really, Kevin? By others did you by any chance mean cops with machine guns, battering rams, drug sniffing dogs, and flash bang grenades? Cause if you wanna talk about interventionwell thats whos been intervening. When the government hears you might have MARIJUANA in your basement, they dont send a faith leader to talk to you about it. You can try to paint over prohibition, but youll need a whole hell of a lot of spackle to stuff the bullet holes. The drug war isnt just a big counseling program, its a bloody f#%king mess and everybody knows thats what it is because we get our news from watching the damn news, not from reading Kevin Sabet for breakfast. After all, if you cant acknowledge the very worst about the drug war when defending it, you arent really defending it at all. If responsible adults dont get roughed up and arrested for taking drugs in Kevin Sabets essays and speeches, then it stands to reason that responsible adults shouldnt have to get roughed up and arrested for taking drugs in real life either.

3	Flashback: USDA Doesnt Know if You Are Eating Cloned MeatAnthony Gucciardi Instead of investigating or setting up parameters, the USDA asserts that it is safe in their view so there is no cause for alarm. It is currently forbidden by the agency itself for any producer to distribute or sell cloned meat. The news came back in August of 2010, whenU.S. Secretary of AgricultureTom Vilsack went on record saying that he really doesnt know whether or not cloned meat is being put on dinner tables nationwide. The announcement was made after the United KingdomsFood Standards Agency told consumers that meat from descendants of cloned animals had already entered the food supply. Of course the agency made the statements a year after the cloned products leaked into the food chain. Still, just like the USDA, the UKs FSA stated that they believe cloned meat poses no risk, so citizens should not panic. The reason? They say that cloned meat has no substantial difference to traditional meat, and therefore it is safe. The statements echo those of Monsanto, whose genetically modified creations have been linked to everything from organ damage to toxicity-induced cell death. I cant say today that I can answer your question in an affirmative or negative way. I dont know. What I do know is that we know all the research, all of the review of this is suggested that this is safe, Vilsack said to reporters. Conventional meat packing industries and suppliers often utilize disturbing growth techniques with zero regard for the welfare of the animals and the consumer. It is not to believe that cloned meat would slip into this chaotic process and be passed off as traditional meat. In order to avoid the threat of not only cloned meat but a copious amount of antibiotics (that you will soon be eating), you should search for high-quality meat sources that utilize grass as a main feed source. The antibiotic problem is so pervasive, in fact, that a judge recently ordered the FDA to remove antibiotics from animal feed in order to halt the production of super viruses.

1	Saying the live performance will be a dream come true following decades of music study, members of the Philadelphia Orchestra announced Wednesday that they simply cannot wait for their upcoming collaboration with John Mellencamp. Ive practiced the viola 10 hours a day for the past 25 years, received an education at the New England Conservatory, and partaken in three artist residencies, so the opportunity to serve as accompaniment to members of John Mellencamps touring band is truly a great honor, said associate principal violist Paul Chiu, adding that playing the same simple melody as the rest of the string section and the entire woodwind section during the chorus of Hurts So Good would be a feather in the cap of his distinguished classical music career. To repeat the same sequence of eight notes over and over again while staring at the back of John Mellencamps head as amplified guitars and boisterous audience members drown out most of the soundI cant think of a greater privilege than that. The only thing better would be playing with Jon Bon Jovi, but Im not getting my hopes up. At press time, Chiu had sequestered himself in a practice space for the day to rehearse his part for the song R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A. 
1	From the mighty city-states dotting the Greek landscape to the burgeoning ports of Phoenicia, critics throughout the Mediterranean are singing the praises of the seventh century's newest lute sensationthe lovely Sappho! Sappho (left) entertains some friends with a song on her lute. Critics are calling the Lesbian poet 'the hottest new talent on the Hellenic scene since Praxiteles.' Poetry lovers throughout the civilized world agree: Not a single voice in the whole of the Ionian Isles more enchantingly captures the flush of adolescent affairs; the sweetness of girls' voices at the Altar of the Moon; or the delicate, crystal clarity of air, wind, water and wine than the beguiling songstress Sappho, the pride of Mytilene in Lesbos! The verdict is in, and the refined sophistication of Sappho's elegant seven-stringed lyre is all the rage, and her newest collection, tentatively given the preproduction title Yes I Am, hits marketplaces in December. Ah, Sappho! You have delighted king and fisherman alike, evoking with the slightest turn of phrase the ephemerity of a sun-splashed terrace of Minos' grand palace at Knossos, the hypnotic flow of windblown hair in the infatuated eye and the soft, tender resonance of fine cloth on bare, pale forearms. But just who is this enchantress? And what does she have to say about the state of poetry today? 'Up until now, poetry has been, I think, more Mycenaean: grand, heroic epics that take hours to sing, with the rhythmic meter pounded out with a big stick,' the poetess said in a recent interview. 'And though I love Homer, really, I'm a big fan, I'm trying to do something new and lyrical. Being a Lesbian, sure, it's caused some controversy. The island culture here on Lesbos is largely untouched by Pylos, Crete and the kingdoms of the Eastern seas. Even the influence of the Lydian Empire on the mainland is muted. But the lyric meter is something the fans are really responding to, and I'm proud of that.' Added Sappho, 'I [ ]/the willow-girl's ankle/Arkhaptia O mine/ the figs [ ]/sweet[ ]brightness.' Dreamily erotic, yet fused with the pain of longing, Sappho's gentle, breeze-blown lyre-plucking accompanimentthe untranslatable 'imeros'gives her captivating words a graceful voluptuousness. Though future generations will likely know her only through the scattered fragments of her writings painstakingly reconstructed from crumbling papyrus and shattered shards of pottery, her fame will live on always, borne by muses on wings of wind. 'Mere air, these words,' the lyricist says on a fifth-century kyklix, 'but delicious to hear.' Sappho's world tour begins this spring with opening act Pharkopto the Horse-Mounted Gladiator. 
1	With Tropical Storm Isaacs torrential rains battering the Gulf Coast of Florida, Republican National Convention organizers raced to build a protective levee out of local poor people Monday in order to prevent the Tampa Bay Times Forum from flooding. We brought in several truckloads of low-income residents and welfare recipients from the Tampa area, and we have dozens of volunteers laying them down flat and packing them real close together to create a watertight barrier, said Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, noting that there were more than enough impoverished families devastated by foreclosures to fashion a sufficient levee around the entire 20,000-seat structure. Were still looking forward to a very productive, successful three days of celebrating conservative values and laying out a bold new direction for our country. And in terms of the storm, the poor people are now stacked nearly 5 feet high and 4 feet deep, so we should be good. In a further attempt to assuage concerns about safety, Priebus confirmed that crews had already secured the convention site against high winds and debris by nailing hundreds of illegal immigrants over the arenas windows.

3	Facebook, Internet.org, and the End of Net NeutralityBy Tony Cartalucci The Guardian in an article titled, SpaceX rocket explosion: Mark Zuckerberg laments loss of Internet.org satellite, would report: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg struck a bitter tone in his response to the explosion of the SpaceX rocket carrying a satellite intended for use on his Internet.org project in Africa. Writing on his Facebook page, Zuckerberg said: As Im here in Africa, Im deeply disappointed to hear that SpaceXs launch failure destroyed our satellite that would have provided connectivity to so many entrepreneurs and everyone else across the continent. However, while technically Facebooks Internet.org would provide connectivity to people across the continent, it would not be providing them with access to the actual Internet. Instead, it is Facebooks version of the Internet, where the concept of net neutrality the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites does not exist. On Facebooks version of the Internet, only those willing to pay large sums of money can have access to audiences while others who do not pay, no matter how popular or meaningful their message may be, are essentially silenced. This is already a reality across Facebooks social network itself, and this network is one of several Free Basics offered on Facebooks Internet.org. A visit to Facebooks Internet.org reveals meaningless slogans and images of smiling brown people. Looking past the superficiality at what Internet.org truly represents, it is clear that it is an attempt to takeover and monopolize the telecom industry and in particular, the entire Internet across the developing world. Not only does Facebooks Free Basics limit users to information highly controlled by Western corporate-financier special interests and Facebooks own net neutrality-usurping algorithms, but because the infrastructure employs methods including space-based satellites, the governments and communities exposed to this upturned version of the Internet have no say or control over it. So obvious is this, that even before Facebook has completed its plans, nations are already fighting back. Facebook has lost the right to offer its free mobile internet service in India after the countrys telecoms regulator ruled in favour of net neutrality, marking the end of an intense and very public 11-month national debate. The new regulations published by Indias Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRAI) ban differential pricing for data services, and make it easier for smaller firms to compete with established companies including Facebook. Facebooks response was as unsurprising as it was dishonest, claiming: Our goal with Free Basics is to bring more people online with an open, non-exclusive and free platform. While disappointed with the outcome, we will continue our efforts to eliminate barriers and give the unconnected an easier path to the internet and the opportunities it brings. In reality, in order to eliminate barriers and connect people, the people themselves must acquire the skills and resources necessary to create their own infrastructure, companies to maintain it, and the ability to create their own content to transmit over it the very embodiment of both the Internet itself and the underlying hope proponents of net neutrality hold for the Internet. The people using the Internet in their nation should be the primary benefactors of it not just in terms of having access to useful information, but the ability to earn a living by maintaining its infrastructure. In addition to Facebooks ability to penetrate and monopolize any given developing nations telecom industry, considering Facebooks ties to the US State Department and its role in facilitating regime change and even destructive, violent campaigns of armed subversion, it is very likely Facebooks monopoly would make it that much easier to control and manipulate information space in any given developing nation during a Western-engineered crisis. This may explain why legitimate nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in India stood up to Facebooks attempt to undermine net neutrality, but nations where NGOs are dominated by US State Department and Open Society funding like Thailand and the Philippines, Facebooks Internet.org has gone unopposed. Telecom and information technology, like food, water, energy, and a standing army, are essential building blocks for national security and prosperity. Handing the responsibility of any of these over to either a foreign nation or a foreign corporation or both is the relinquishing of ones sovereignty and the compromising of ones national security. Nations and their people must develop their own Internet infrastructure. For Mark Zuckerberg and his government-connected corporation Facebook to presume they are the sole solution to connecting the world is but a modern-day version of The White Mans Burden those nations subjected to it subordinated to this domineering arrogance and the self-serving schemes that underpin it. Facebooks Internet.org is a wake-up call for developing nations to stand up and invest in modern day essential infrastructure including domestic versions of social networks like Facebook to ensure they are as safe in the field of information as their conventional armies keep them on the field of battle. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazineNew Eastern Outlook, where this article first appeared. Do people still use Facebook? Well Yes.. there is no other alternative to connect people.. If lemmings could speak, that is what they would say. For, Facebook, read and substitute CIA. These fixated Elitists really think that foreign people are so stupid they dont know that Facebook is the CIA. ICANN, a California nonprofit corporation, is now being given to the United Nations by President Obama. ICANN was taken over by folks from the Middle East some years ago, and unilaterally moved to the Middle East. People are so glued to what their left hands are holding, they dont know who does what or where any power is located. Until their phones stop working, they wont even ask!!!

1	In the largest deal ever made to shit out a movie, Warner Bros. and director Michael Bay announced a landmark $50 million agreement this week to monumentally fuck up ThunderCats. Michael Bay 'I couldn't be more excited to completely fuck this up,' said Bay, who plans to begin production on destroying the live-action adaptation next month. 'ThunderCats has a great story, endearing characters, action, adventure, space-travel, and fantasy. It will be an honor to run it into the ground.' 'I'll use every directorial tool I have to suck the very life and charm out of this beloved cartoon,' added Bay, claiming that the film could turn out to be the most colossal piece of shit he's ever worked on. 'I won't rest until I get every last scene exactly wrong.' According to executives, Warner Bros. settled on Bay after a 12-month search of Hollywood's most reviled directors, including Joel Schumacher, Roland Emmerich, and Brett Ratner. In the end, the studio decided only Bay could be relied upon to deliver a 220-minute cinematic clusterfuck with enough tedious performances, overblown cinematography, and CGI explosions to make even the most casual fan want to scratch their eyes out. 'No filmmaker working today has Bay's ability to somehow direct his actors to be both emotionless and melodramatic at once,' Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer said. 'And I personally can't wait to see how he needlessly overcomplicates the plot.' Bay reportedly only agreed to fuck up ThunderCats after several specific conditions were written into his contract. According to the terms of the deal, Bay must be allowed to eliminate the character Panthro entirely to focus on the asinine relationship between Snarf and Snarfer, and include nearly 22 minutes of frenetic, impossible-to-follow action sequences that he hopes will annoy the living Christ out of audiences. 'We're just getting started on the storyboards, but I've already got a lot of really contrived ideas about zooming in way too close and shooting everything at nauseating angles,' said Bay, who claimed viewers won't be able to tell if the climactic final battle is between two blurry elbows or a half dozen leopard-print pillows. 'I promise you'll walk out of the theater feeling like you just flushed $12 down the toilet.' 'You will all fucking hate me,' he continued. Hollywood insiders agreed that Baywho has reportedly been closely involved in each of the 45 progressively worse rewrites of the scriptwas a natural choice to take a steaming dump on the popular ThunderCats property. 'Michael Bay has this innate sense of how to ruin a great story,' Variety reporter Todd Brick said. 'His ability to create astonishing plot holes, pepper dialogue with groan-inducing clichs, and abandon storylines halfway through is unparalleled. He was born to destroy this movie.' Though he admitted there was still 'a lot of fucking up to do' before the script attains his trademark shit-slicked sheen, Bay has recruited hack writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to punch-up the screenplay with hollow characters and by-the-numbers jokes about kitty litter boxes and hair balls. But all the time and effort, Bay claimed, is worth it to ensure that he fucks ThunderCats up as badly as he knows he can. 'Ever since I failed to ruin Scarlett Johansson's career with The Island, I've been looking for a challenge like this,' Bay said. 'Who knows? With Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and ThunderCats coming out in the same year, I may finally reach my goal of making all of America hate cinema forever.'

'I'm thinking I can get through that pretty quickly because I'll use my sniper rifle. Then it's right to Troika Central to get to the main boss, General RAAM.

2	VP Debater Moderator Caught Doing The UNTHINKABLE... Watch Closely [VIDEO] Last week, Lester Holt enraged American voters everywhere when it became apparent he had rigged the first presidential debate in Hillary Clintons favor. The situation got even direr for conservatives on Tuesday, when vice presidential debate moderator Elaine Quijano clearly leaned her support toward Tim Kaine. According to reports, Quijano slammed Mike Pence for failing to answer questions. In reality, it was clear Pence was unable to get a word in between insults from Kaine. Why is Pence being called out for not answering questions when Kaine has done that repeatedly? #VPDebate, Brent Bozell tweeted. Watching the footage back, its clear that Quijano overstepped her role of moderator on many occasions. While discussing immigration, for example, she pressed Pence on whether illegal immigrants would be forcibly removed under Trumps plan. Governor, how would these millions of undocumented immigrants leave? she asked. Would they be forcibly removed? Quijano also revealed her bias when she verbally agreed with Kaine, answering right in his criticism of Trump. This is important, Elaine, Kaine commented. When a guy running for president will not support the troops, not support veterans, not support teachers Right, Quiano responded. But thats not all. Later in the night, Quijano stopped Pence from speaking against the Clinton Foundation. Kaine, on the other hand, had ample time to defend the charityand throw a flew blows at the Trump Foundation. What do you think? Has the mainstream media rigged this election? MRCTV.org (@mrctv) October 5, 2016 
2	BREAKING: Fox Catches Obama Admin Doctoring Official Video To Cover Up HUGE Lie For some time now, the administration has insisted that the Iran deal was one of President Barack Obamas biggest accomplishments. In the eyes of the public, the decision was controversial at best and completely idiotic at worst. Now, reports indicate that the administration has censored eight minutes of a State Department press briefing, where a spokeswoman answered questions about the country. According to a report from Fox News, the footage was eliminated from both the official State Department website as well as on YouTube. The clip shows Jen Psaki telling reporters that sometimes they had to be deceived for thr countrys own good. There are times where diplomacy needs privacy in order to progress, Psaki commented. This is a good example of that. Of course, the White House insists that they had nothing to do with the videos disappearance. They have vowed to restore the footage. This is not the only time the White House and Obama administration have manipulated the truth in order to get their way. New York Times recently did a profile of deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes. During the interview, he bragged about manipulating the press during the Iran deal. We created an echo chamber, Rhodes commented, admitted that they circulated talking points among their staff. They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com 
1	Fourth-grade sources reported this week that in order to acquire the shark tooth necklace he wears to school each day, area 10-year-old Brendan Landsley must have killed a great white shark. Brendan probably was in the ocean, saw this huge shark, and then just jumped right on its back, said classmate Ryan Pierson, speculating that Landsley also likely held on to the animals fin and was dragged underwater for miles. Then I bet he took out a knife or a harpoon and stabbed it a bunch of times and ripped the tooth right out of its jaws. Hes probably got a bite mark somewhere from when he was wrestling with it. Schoolyard sources also agreed that sharks probably come nowhere near Landsley anymore when they see the trophy from his kill dangling around his neck. 
3	Tennessee Introduces Bill to Take on NSA Encryption-Breaking Facility at Oak Ridgeselfnews Post A long-standing secretive NSA computing facility calls Oak Ridge home. According to NSA researcher James Bamford, the NSA runs most data it gathers from code breaking to word captures, through computers at Oak Ridge, along with those at NSA headquarters in Ft. Meade, Md. The Tennessee Fourth Amendment Protection Act was introduced by State Sen. Stacey Campfield (R-Knoxville) late Tuesday evening. Rep. Andy Holt (R-Dresden) will file the companion bill in the House. Based on model legislation drafted by the OffNow coalition, SB1849 would prohibit the state of Tennessee from providing material support toany federal agency claiming the power to authorize the collection of electronic data or metadata of any person pursuant to any action not based on a warrant as required by the Fourth Amendment. We have an out of control federal agency spying on pretty much everybody in the world. I dont think the state of Tennessee should be helping the NSA violate the Constitution and the basic privacy rights of its citizens and we dont have to, Campfield said. This bill may not completely stop the NSA, but it will darn sure stop Tennessee from participating in unjustified and illegal activities. From a practical standpoint, the legislation covers four major areas. Numerous sources report the MRF will work in tandem with the data storage center in Bluffdale, Utah. The super-fast computers in Oak Ridge could conceivably break the encryption on reams of data stored in Utah, making its contents accessible to the NSA. This includes data of Americans vacuumed up by the spy agency. A partnership between the University of Tennessee and Battelle runs the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. UT-Battelles contract ends in 2015, but the DOE has already declared its intent and started the process to extend it. That process will take some time, and SB1849 could stop it. Tenth Amendment Center national communications director Mike Maharrey acknowledged that Oak Ridge is a massive facility, and a lot of its work is perfectly legitimate, but ultimately the University of Tennessee has got to get out of the spy business. The main thing to understand is that this bill denies the NSA material support from the state, and that includes state universities. People are going to be upset because they see value in Oak Ridge. But this legislation only bans material support to those activities which are part of the warrantless mass-surveillance that the federal government has been engaging in, and not everything else. he said. The bottom line is that the people of Tennessee dont want the NSA consuming massive amounts of their resources so the agency can spy on them, and pretty much everybody in the world too. It has to stop. Last week, Washington became the first state with an actual NSA facility to consider the Fourth Amendment Protection Act. Lawmakers in Arizona, Indiana, Oklahoma and California will also consider similar legislation. Bills addressing one aspect of the OffNow campaign data sharing are pending in Kansas and Missouri. Sources close to the Tenth Amendment Center indicate lawmakers in several other states will introduce the act in the coming weeks. When Arizona state Sen. Kelli Ward announced her plan to introduce the Fourth Amendment Protection Act a few weeks back, it was a novelty. People had this attitude like, Oh, thats cute. But it will never amount to anything. Today Tennessee makes the eighth state considering action to refuse cooperation with the NSA, And mark my words more are coming. Big ones, Maharrey said. James Madison said that when a number of states refused to cooperate with officers of the Union, it would create roadblocks that the federal government would be unwilling to encounter. This is not symbolic. We intend to box them in and make the NSA stop violating the Constitution. Source: The Tenth Amendment Center exists to promote and advance a return to a proper balance of power between federal and State governments envisioned by our founders, prescribed by the Constitution and explicitly declared in the Tenth Amendment. A national think tank based in Los Angeles, the Tenth Amendment Center works to preserve and protect the principle of strictly limited government through information, education, and activism. The OffNow coalition is group of grassroots organizations and individuals spanning the political spectrum committed to stopping unconstitutional NSA spying through state and local activism. 
3	The plan for the end of Europe: the new USSRBy Jon Rappoport One of the basic principles of elite Globalism is: the end of borders, the end of separate nations. The European Union was built for this purpose, step by step, out of the ashes of World War 2: a super-bureaucracy and political management system for the whole continent. But that was not enough. There had to be a way to wipe out separate and sovereign nations at ground level, to irrevocably change the landscape. It is open borders; floods of immigrants; replacement populations; an influx of people who have no intention of accepting the customs and way of life in their new homes. The end result? A de facto reconfiguring of national populations, so that, when you look at the makeup of Europe 20 years from now, you will say: Why do we think of Germany or France or England? They dont really exist. All of Europe is a vast mix of immigrants. Europe is really one country now. So lets erase all those old artificial borders. Eventually, even uttering words like Swedes, Norwegians, Germans, French, Dutch will be considered micro (or macro) aggressions against the people of Europe. Of course, in reaching this point, there will be a certain amount of chaos and violence. The EU is banking on its ability to control it, to put it down where necessary, and to maintain its hold as the one and only governing force in Europe. On a cultural level, names like Locke, Shakespeare, Goethe, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Lorca, Goya, Cezanne, Monet, Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Dante, Galileo, Faraday, and even modern names like Bartok, Stravinsky, Rimbaud, Orwell, and Camus will be vague dusty ghosts that provoke uncomprehending stares. The past is dead. Oh, but dont worry about that. The important thing is, every person living in Europe is a citizen of Europe, and is entitled to benefits. This is humane, this is The Good, this is the triumph of the benevolent State. Nothing else matters. All European languages will eventually be reduced. Who has the right to speak words that the majority of people cant understand? What Im sketching in here is the grid that will be laid over Europe. And of course, as automation comes on with a rush, many citizen-workers of Europe will become unnecessary. Even great corporations will fall, because they wont be able to sell their products to an impoverished population. Theyll hope against hope that the billions of people in the East, China and India, will give them new markets. Against this background, the individual human being will be looked at, from the top, as a cipher, a unit in models and algorithms. The question is, how many individuals will take the bait and regard themselves as mere parts in the overall system? How many will give in and consider their future a function of how much they can obtain from The State, free of charge? How many will come to believe that their power, as individuals, is inconsequentialor even a delusion? Why do I bother bringing this up? Because, regardless of the prevailing collectivist mindsetpropagandized and promoted and exploited from an elite levelState repression, in all its forms, falls on each individual. If the very concept of the individual is wiped out, what is left? In 1859, John Stuart Mill wrote: If it were felt that the free development of individuality is one of the leading essentials of well-beingthere would be no danger that liberty should be undervalued. Conversely, when the free development of individuality is of no concern, liberty will die. Boris Pasternak, the Russian novelist and poet, who knew a thing or two about political repression, wrote (1960): They [the Soviet bureaucrats] dont ask much of you. They only want you to hate the things you love and to love the things you despise. This reversal is being imposed now, in Europe. Defectors from the old USSR would recognize it in an instant, having lived through it themselves. The European version seems softer and gentler, but that is just a matter of strategy. The culture is being cooked more slowly. But just because secret police arent knocking on doors in the middle of the night and making mass arrests, that isnt a sign that individual freedom reigns. A number of European political leaders are telling their constituencies, You have no right to oppose the flood of immigration on any grounds. To do so, to utter such public statements, is an offense. Does that sound familiar? The wet dream of every collectivist is coming true. All power at the top; all conformity (called unity) everywhere else. The new USSR. In the old days, the East German police kept records on every citizen and blanketed the population with snitches and spies. The modern Surveillance State has replaced that, searching for nodes of discontent. Collectivists may pay lip service to the dangers of State surveillance, but when it is used to root out people who cant envision a better world based on, among other features, open borders, well, this is just an enforcement of The Good upon those who cant discover it for themselves. If The Humanitarian Way needs a nudge and boost, why not? For dyed-in-the-wool collectivists, freedom isnt just a roadblock; its an irrelevant illusion. It never existed. All humans are operating according to programs, and have been since birth. Therefore, install a better program, by any means necessary and available. Produce kinder people. This is both a political and a technological imperative. Open borders and unlimited immigration is a good test case. For people who feel imposed upon, who feel their communities are being torn apart, who feel personally threatened, who feel this is, indeed, a covert operation to transform Europe into a new USSR, there is a need for re-education at the deepest level possible. Because, surely, such people are suffering from profound disorders. Their circuits are crossed. Their brains are defective. They cant see the larger picture. They would never be able to see, for example, the wisdom of the words of Zbigniew Brzezinski, David Rockerfellers alter ego, who wrote, in 1969: The nation state as a fundamental unit of mans organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-state. Here is the Globalist tactician at work, a man who seems to hate the old USSR, but is seeking to install a version of the same collectivism, through other means. If Lenin were alive today, he would look out over Europe and agree that his agenda is alive and well. He might object to the relatively slow pace. He might want more violence. But he would grudgingly acknowledge that his descendants have discovered a few new tricks. He would have to approve of the humanitarian altruism, and the way it is being modeled and manipulated, so that the edifice of The Good appears as a shining beacon in the darkness. Nice movie. Excellent production design. Tears of sympathy rolling down the cheeks of the audience. Minds reduced to one constant: we must care for the less fortunate. Trillions and trillions of dollars devoted to elicit that sentiment, regardless of the circumstances, or the true malignant outcome, or the actual sinister intent of the elite artists of reality.

The growth of corporate power, oil cartels and bankers is only temporary because it will morph into a control system. The elite know the current economic model is unsustainable and aim to replace economic growth with fewer but totally controlled individuals. The mixing of peoples is to increase conflict and divide populations. With surveillence and the millitary the divided become the conquered. Yep. Its the same old story. So what else is new? There were many many people over the past fifty years whove been warning us about this very thing. There were even a few back in the 40s and 50s who were calling out in the deser. Im thinking specifically of William Carrs Pawns in the Game, written in the 50s, but there were others as well. By the 70s, the press was pounding out these books, as well as magazine articles. But it was largely ignored. I remember thinking these people were crazy. But it seems like there are a zillion artcles like this now, when its too late. What can we still do? Well, one thing is to get out information that people dont know about yet. For example, the Treaty of the Oceans, where the Big Boys are dividing up the ocean, much as they did the land, for corporate ownership of the oceans. The main thing is to get people to be able to think, to be able and willing to read technical articles that someone hasnt pulverized to pablum that tells nothing. The attack on the educational system, as you correctly point out, is a key component that we can still do something about. At the very least, we can tell kids that they need to be able to parrot back the storyline they are being told, since that is key to being able to keep a job, which is something they may occassionally want to do, but let them know there are subversive sources of real information, so that some of them will want to actively seek it out. 
1	In the wake of the Aug. 12, 2004 death of her parents Hugh and Patricia, Leah Sawyer's self-esteem has skyrocketed, sources close to the 27-year-old said Monday. Sawyer (left) is adjusting quite well to the death of her parents, pictured in an August 2004 photograph. 'When her parents died, I thought for sure the terrible experience would send timid little Leah right over the edge,' Sawyer's 31-year-old cousin Edie Holt said. 'But somehow, she's handling the tragedy really well. If I didn't know that this dreadful thing had just happened to her, I would say that Leah was the happiest I've ever seen her.' Less than a year since a semi-truck broadsided Sawyer's parents' Saturn Ion on Interstate 516, Sawyer seems 'healthy, fulfilled, and confident,' Holt said. 'Leah seems to be adjusting just fine, even though her life is vastly different from the one she had been living at home with her parents in the suburbs,' Holt said. 'I got the impression that Aunt Patricia and Uncle Hugh could be quite critical and controlling sometimes. And I know she wasn't thrilled about the hotel-management job Uncle Hugh had found for her, either.' 'Oh,' Holt added quickly, 'but I'm sure that Leah would give up her new job and her new condo downtown just to hear her parents speak to her one more time. I mean, of course.' Within two months of the tragic car accident, Sawyer quit her job, put the longtime family home on the market, and sold most of her parents' possessions. 'We were initially worried that Leah was being a bit rash,' Holt said. 'Everyone remembered how she'd been such a homebody. I mean, she barely ever left her room. We feared that she might be having some sort of nervous breakdown as a result of her grief.' 'But Leah told me in the calmest of tones that, for her, the one real way that she could move on was by moving out, so to speak,' Holt said. 'And, after unloading all of her dad's beloved fishing poles and her mom's macram supplies at an estate sale in a single weekend, that's just what she did.' Many friends and relatives said they noted Sawyer's fortitude at the funeral. 'We were all very impressed that Leah volunteered to deliver the eulogy, since she'd always been so shy at family gatherings,' said Natalie Demirdjian, Sawyer's aunt. 'But at the funeral, she was very composed and she spoke so positively about her parents' new life in heaven. She spoke movingly about how Hugh and Patricia had journeyed on to a place free of worries and hassles, where they would be 'forever young and without complaints.' Then she described death as a way for the bereaved to start anew, and how 'bright flowers would bloom on scorched and sour earth.' It was quite inspiring.' 'It must have done her good to speak from her heart, because when she walked away from that podium, Leah looked a foot taller,' Demirdjian said. 'It was as though a giant burden had been lifted from her shoulders.' Although her inheritance could have allowed her to retreat from public life, Sawyer plunged headfirst into new pursuits. 'I was stunned when [Leah] told me she was taking motorcycle lessons,' Sawyer's friend Betsy Pfaff said. 'She said that, since she's proven that she can read the paper at the kitchen table without leaving dirty smudges all over the tablecloth, maybe she can also climb on a motorcycle without suffering permanent brain damage. I didn't really get what she meant, but she's been through a lot lately, so I didn't question her.' Pfaff added: 'I also let it go when she said, 'You don't think wearing red makes me look like a whore, do you?'' Pfaff said her surprise redoubled after she asked Sawyer to help her manage her small used-book store. 'I really needed an extra hand, but I didn't have a lot of money to pay Leah,' Pfaff said. 'I didn't want to take advantage of her while she was in such a fragile emotional state, but Leah said the low pay was fine because she really loved the store. She told me, 'Sure, Mom and Dad wouldn't have approved of me working for peanuts, but we can't live in the past, can we?'' Pfaff said the new independence must be good for her friend, because she's noticed that Sawyer's complexion is clearer than it has been in years, her frame looks about 15 pounds lighter, and she has begun to attract the attention of men. 'Leah used to say she didn't date because she was holding out for the type of guy her father would approve of,' Pfaff said. 'She'd never found that guy in all the years I knew her, though. I guess her luck must've turned around.' Last week, Sawyer went on a date with bookstore patron Seth Westphal, 30, who said he was attracted to her 'optimistic attitude and big, sunny smile.' 'Over dinner, I told Leah, 'You seem to have a lot of energy,'' Westphal said. 'Leah smiled, turned a little red and said, 'Yeah, well, my parents died in August.'' Family physician Dr. Jack Meyerling, who has known the Sawyer family for nearly 30 years, said that, while it is not unusual for a bereaved person to resent his or her deceased loved ones for departing so suddenly, Sawyer appears to have 'made peace' with her situation. 'Psychologists have isolated five stages of mourning: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance,' Meyerling said. 'But, after spending a very brief time in the initial stage, Leah skipped the middle three and very swiftly zeroed in on the fifth.' Added Meyerling, 'Actually, in Leah's case, I would propose adding a sixth stage: welcoming.' 
3	Obama Memorandum Protects National Security By Demonizing WhistleblowersSusanne Posel, Contributor The National Insider Threat Policy (NITP) is still classified, yet the referenced document describes minimum standards for stifling federal information leaks that would indicate the release of intelligence considered secret for the protection of national security. Federal employees that are privy to such information would be monitored by this directive. The Insider Threat Task Force, an interagency created to minimize the dangers to national security posed by unauthorized disclosures of intelligence, will be empowered to unilaterally prevent information sharing. Sensitive data as collected by the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and other federal agencies tasked with obtaining information have measures in place to protect employees ability to have access to such data; as well as having to gain chain-of-command permission with an ever present need-to-know parameter. Obama further defines this safety measure by stating: Our nations security requires classified information to be shared immediately with authorized users around the world but also requires sophisticated and vigilant means to ensure it is shared securely. The Obama administration has been posturing themselves behind the scenes to establish adequate protections to our classified information while at the same time sharing the information with all who reasonably need it to do their jobs. With executive order 13587, Obama set out to improve the security of classified networks . . . and responsible sharing and safeguarding of classified information. While claiming to be concerned with remaining consistent with appropriate protections for privacy and civil liberties, Obama ensures that digital data that is defined by the US government as sensitive can and will be under policy regulations of interagency bodies of correlating departments. This blanket statement applies to information security, personnel security, and systems security; address both internal and external security threats and vulnerabilities; and provide policies and minimum standards for sharing classified information both within and outside the Federal Government. This presidential memorandum clearly defines Obamas desire to quash any intelligence leaks that may occur under his watch. Regardless of the future treatment of federal whistleblowers, this executive-created extension of cybersecurity compliments the Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) that is being redefined for 2013. Senator Dianne Feinstein, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee has been integral in the establishment of the 2013 IAA that had added provisions with intelligence leaks in mind. The executive branch is required to notify Congress when making certain authorized disclosures of intelligence information to the public; Thanks to Senator Patrick Leahy, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, there is newly draftedElectronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) that allows law enforcement to no longer require a warrant at all, and could access any electronic information required to conduct their investigation by simply claiming its relevance. In the recently altered bill HR 2471, federal and local law enforcement agencies including Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Maritime Commission, the Federal Postal Regulatory Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Mine Enforcement Safety and Health Review Commission and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will be empowered to obtain any US citizens: Senator Joseph Lieberman, author of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, spoke at George Washington University at an event sponsored by the Homeland Security Policy Institute and the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Lieberman chairs this institute.At the talk Lieberman stated: Cyberterrorists, criminal gangs, rogue hackers and rival nations are becoming ever more aggressive in probing and attacking the computer networks that control our critical physical infrastructure water systems, electric utilities and pipelines and our critical financial infrastructure. The Senate Homeland Security Committee released a report in October that explained how the US government wastes taxpayer money and mismanages through the DHS a futile focus on programs that do not work. This extends to the use of fusion centers that simply spy on Americans in the name of national security. 
3	McCain and Graham: Suspect Dzhokhar has no rights and should be enemy combatantThe old wounds of 911 and the cryptic calls for legalised torture have once again taken center stage in the American political discourse this week Seen by some as the poster children for new Senate term limits, Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain are warning against trying the surviving Boston bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, in a court of law, claiming he should be held as an enemy combatant instead. They were joined in their call by Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH). Salon reports: It is clear the events we have seen over the past few days in Boston were an attempt to kill American citizens and terrorize a major American city, the four Republicans wrote in a joint statement. The accused perpetrators of these acts were not common criminals attempting to profit from a criminal enterprise, but terrorists trying to injure, maim, and kill innocent Americans. The suspect, based upon his actions, clearly is a good candidate for enemy combatant status. We do not want this suspect to remain silent, they wrote. McCain and Graham also praised Boston Police for invoking the Orwellian public safety exception which allowed them not to read any Miranda Rights to the younger Tsarnaev. Salon also adds here: We should be focused on gathering intelligence from this suspect right now that can help our nation understand how this attack occurred and what may follow in the future. That should be our focus, not a future domestic criminal trial that may take years to complete, the statement said. Congressman Peter King (R) New York has taken the opportunity of this crisis to renew old Sept 11th called for increased surveillance of Muslims in America. He is arguing, that in wake of the Boston bombings, law enforcement should increase surveillance in Muslim communities, and not to be bound by political correctness anymore. Sens. Graham and McCain may get their wish in full, as Obama officials announced yesterday that the 19-year-old Tsarnaev will likely be questioned using enhanced interrogation by a federal team known as the High Value Detainee Interrogation Group, which includes strongmen from the FBI, CIA, and DOD. Presently, the suspect is said to be in serious condition held at a heavily guarded Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and, interestingly, unable to talk as a result of injuries to the throat, as Federal prosecutors await their chance to interview him. It is not clear as yet, whether or not, or when the suspect will be allowed a lawyer present during questioning.

'We basically think it's like horseshoes but with ice,' bar patron Jim Comito said of the 500-year old sport. 'The middle part of the bull's-eye thing is worth two points unless they both get their pot-looking thing in the middle. Tommy said they use the brooms to clear little ice particles out of the way, but I still think it's a static electricity thing.'

3	Declassified Skull and Bones Records from George W. Bush White House Set for Public ReleaseBy Jay Syrmopoulos The National Archives, which oversees White House records held at the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas, Texas, reportedly received a request on April 15 for materials specific to George W. Bushs presidency under the Freedom of Information Act. The request specifically sought the public release of records containing 8,072 pages, 3,159 assets (such as presidential memoranda cards, letters, etc.), and one video clip, according to the National Archives. After having been thoroughly examined by both the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and former President George W. Bush himself, last month NARA sent a letter to representatives of the Obama and Bush administrations announcing plans to release 3,404 pages of the Bush-era records to the public, including 1,650 pages relating to The Skull and Bones Society, according to the letter. However, several of the requested items proved restricted under the Freedom of Information Acts 44 U.S. Code 2204, which limits access to presidential materials based on their containment of sensitive information (i.e. national security secrets, trade secrets, and confidential communications). In addition to the 3,404 pages of records, 1,503 assets and one video clip in whole, 582 pages and 186 assets in part will also be released to the public. You can be virtually certain that the juiciest tidbits of information held within the requested records will be shielded from public view as Skull and Bones is deeply intertwined with the U.S. intelligence community. Skull and Bones was co-founded at Yale in 1832 by William Huntington Russell and the father of a future president, Alphonso Taft. The societys alumni boasts many of Americas political elite, including former presidents William Taft, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, and current Secretary of State John Kerry. On April 26, Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton was made an Honorary Bonesman because she graduated from Yale Law School in 1973. A FOIA request from author Robert Gaylon Ross Sr. prompted the National Archives to release the Skull and Bones records. Ross has authored several books about secret societies, including Whos Who of the Elite: Members of the Bilderbergs, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and The Elite Serial Killers of Lincoln, JFK, RFK MLK, and claims that many of these organizations, including the Skull and Bones Society, play a critical role in global governance; acting as an unseen hand behind the curtain. The records will become public in July unless either Bush or Obama moves to block the release, Politico reports. Jay Syrmopoulos writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. so why dont we care, it is a fair question, why does the safety of the whole world hinge on the behaviour of these miscreants, they have got where they are by criminal and unlawful means, so why should they be due any respect from the public. The freedom of information act is useless if the gov can only release the docs they want released. Reminds me of Hillary Clintons emails she only gave up the non personal emails. What a joke! Simply just more criminal activity from the transparent Obozo administration. What they release will be redacted and (more than likely) edited. This story makes no sense, and what makes less sense still is the point of the story itself. Is there an actual assumption being made that we will really believe ANY OF THIS? Why should I suspend suspicion and critical thinking to believe this Skull~n~Bones will really release damning info on themselves? What criminal organization purposefully incriminates itself? Da Busheez are sucked in deeply into the whole NWO movement. The NWO powerbroker clowns control things like FOIA and whatnotsyet this article presumes that somehow this all does not matter and what is released is going to be a real expose? These people are inveterate liars. You cannot believe anything that comes from them. 
1	With one in 25 students currently in detention, on suspension, or otherwise held after school on charges, the U.S. leads the world in disciplinary action against schoolchildren, the U.N. Human Rights Commission reported Monday. Crisis In Our Schools 'There is a disturbing trend in the corrective measures taken by contemporary American educators,' the report read. 'The United States is requiring its students to do time in the guidance counselor or principal's office three times as often as the average Westernized nation. No other country incarcerates its young at anywhere near that rate.' Detailed in the 922-page document is an alarming pattern of arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement, uneven interpretation of rules, and unfair punishment disproportionate to the transgression. 'It is an accepted, almost universally acknowledged fact that detention in America is class-based,' UNHRC chief David Ottersen said. 'If you are a member of the upper classes, especially a senior, you have little or nothing to fear. You can hit the teacher with a spitball in broad daylight, and you won't do time. But if you're a lower-class student, a freshman or sophomore, look out.' The report also found that U.S. detention facilities place a far greater emphasis on isolation and punishment than on rehabilitation. 'We have case study after case study of detainees being forced to sit silently with their heads down on their desks, sometimes for hours at a time,' Ottersen said. 'How does this help prepare a child for a return to the classroom? A class clown needs to be given the tools necessary for success upon his or her release from detention, not some pointless heads-down-for-the-whole-period punishment.' One of the millions of U.S. students currently serving time. Even more disturbing, a whopping 82 percent of detained American students are repeat offenders. This stands in sharp contrast to Germany, where only one detainee in 50 serves a second sentence in the same school year. 'The American detention system is a revolving door,' Ottersen said. 'It is not a deterrent. It's a badge of honor for some of these kids. We've got kids in detention now who are 10 years old and are going to be in and out of there until they're 18. Then what? And what about the kid who goes in not knowing how serious it is and comes out with a blot on his permanent record and a newfound knowledge of how to flush cherry bombs down the toilet?' The report reflected many human-rights advocates' beliefs about U.S. detention policy. 'The American educational justice system is deeply flawed, perhaps beyond repair,' said Roberta Leigh of Amnesty International. 'Fifteen percent of U.S. students are African-American, but they make up more than half of all detained students. The U.S. expulsion rate is six times that of Canada and 15 times that of Japan. How can we call ourselves the world's leading democracy in the face of those figures?' Many American educators disputed the report's findings. 'What works for the rest of the world doesn't necessarily work for America,' U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige said. 'The only effective means of maintaining order is to equip our educators with broad discretionary powers. To strip them of their punitive authority would lead to a sharp rise in inappropriate behavior and, inevitably, a nationwide decline in school spirit. We as a nation cannot afford this.' Added Paige: 'Detention in this country is necessary, humane, and effective. Our motivation, especially in cases of recidivism, is to get these kids away from the general student population. Since the 1950s, we've been more successful than not at halting the spread of shenanigans, tomfoolery, and clowning around. Can France or Britain say the same? I don't think so.' 
3	Captured Daesh Fighter Reveals Turkeys Connection to ISIS, Predicts New 9/11By Brandon Turbeville Yet the hits to the Turkish governments public relations just keep on coming, the latest of which involves statements coming from an ISIS member who was recently captured by Kurdish troops in Syria, who has revealed that not only is Turkey a primary buyer of ISIS oil but that ISIS fighters were being trained both in and by Turkey itself to be deployed into Syria. The captured fighter also revealed that the ISIS fighters on the ground do not take the American airstrikes seriously, viewing them as nothing more than show. Mahmut Ghazi Tatar, the member of Daesh captured by the Syrian Kurds, gave an interview to Sputnik Turkiye about his experiences in joining the terrorist organization. Tatar, who is 24 years old, allegedly joined Daesh after being influenced by a friend who was already a member. Tatar joined Daesh along with 27 other Turks. Tatar relates his path from Turkey to Syria by stating: After crossing border we were moved to a training camp 5 km from the border. We received military training and attended religious classes. Before the start of training, each of us was asked whether we want to be martyrs. I refused. This question is asked of all new recruits. Those who agree, within 6 months receive special religious training. Since I refused, my education and training lasted 70 days. We learned by the Turkish books. During the training, a few people from Turkey came to check on us. They did not have beards and they were not members of Daesh. After they received training, the 28 men were moved to Tal Abyad, where they were kept secret and allowed no contact with their families. Tatar states that his group received warning that the Kurds had learned of their whereabouts and had planned to storm the house in which they were staying. Thus, Tatar fled from Tal Abyad along with 12 other members. The men made it to a nearby village but were captured after Tatar attempted to make a run for it. Speaking about the oil being sold by ISIS to supposedly unknown and shadowy entities in the Middle East, Tatar stated what many in the alternative media have known for some time that the principal purchaser of ISIS oil was in fact Turkey, a NATO country. Tatar states, The oil tankers that were sent every day to Turkey had crude oil, fuel oil and gasoline. The main source of income for Daesh is oil trade and oil inventories will last them a long time. Abu Talha [Daesh commander] also said that the group earns a lot of money in trade with Turkey. He also said that the oil is sold through the mediation of a number of businessmen and merchants, but did not give names. Daesh also receives many products from Turkey and other Arab countries. Tatar stated that neither he nor his comrades attached particular importance to the US bombings. They believed that it was done as a pretense. Tatar mentioned that, at one point, a member of his group asked their commander, Abu Talha, why Daesh did not attack Israel. Talhas response was First we need to break down a small wall and then destroy the large one. Tatar described most ISIS recruits as coming from Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Yemen, Qatar, Lebanon, and Egypt and that they entered Syria from the Turkish border, a very easy thing to do. European and American fighters, according to Tatar, follow the same route. Tatar also forebodingly stated that, The commanders told us that they were going to commit a terrorist act that would exceed the scale of the September 11 attacks on the US. While Tatar revealed nothing that was not already widely known amongst geopolitical researchers, his information does confirm what many have been saying all along regarding the purchase of ISIS oil that NATO and Turkey in particular is the largest consumer of this oil and, thus, is contributing to the financial support of ISIS (among several other methods of funding). Tatar also confirms the nature of the American airstrikes against Daesh the lack of actual bombing of terrorist targets and the fact that Turkish assistance is essential to the funneling of terrorists into Syria.

As ISIS is headed by Israel and Israel did the 9/11 job it is clear that a new 9/11 event will come. But did we need ISIS to hear this? Perhaps. Because evil ISIS must be destroyed in every country inside and outside USA. Good that ISIS exists, how could USrael otherwise invade the whole world? Youve forgotten that Obama just had the Pentagon airdrop 50 tons of supplies and materiel to ISIS rebels . Rebels in Syria. Terrorists in the US. To scare the sheep into seeking protection from traitors, oligarchs, and dictators Can you say treason? antisemitic moronyou are cursed by your own words.so be it! if your implying israel is a semitic only state then that would make israel racist. Tell that to the Ethiopian Isrealis who have been systematically made infertile by their host country. The Zionists put a smile on Dr, Mengeles face. tartar (ratat) backwards means to tell something of no value that achieves nothingjust a coincidence though Or its the commonly accepted name of the peoples who were descended from Ghengis Khans golden horde that conquered the caucus region in what is modern Russia, Ukraine, and parts of Turkey/Azerbaijan. Tatar would be like westerners naming a kid Aryan, or Christian, or something of that nature. truly fascinating. you hit on so many subject ive been studying for some time now and i never knew they were all related. thanks for the great hints..(caucasus region),(genghis khan aka romes isis) ..also related origins of the aryan auroch the trident genghis khan aka romes isis WONDER what OBOOOOOMASSS the magnificent MUSLIM in CHIEF will have to tell JOHN Q. PUBLIC CITIZEN about this one ???????????????? Turkey is NATO, and NATO is the USA. Russia has yet to respond to the USA about its part in the murder of all aboard the civilian airliner and the downing of the Russian military plane and subsequent slaughter of its pilot. Israel was also buying ISIS oil that went to Turkey ISIS is a scam funded by The U.S., and Israel will probably pull another 9/11 on America again. Revelation 18:10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: Woe! Woe to you, great city, you mighty city of Babylon! In one hour your doom has come! The Bible is predicting New York City. Huh, I posted a link to a take from a noted mideast scholar and expert relating to this article and adding further insights but posted on BuzzFlash 11/20 this year, and it got doinked out. Pretty thin there AP censors. After Pakistan harboring Osama are we really surprised? Or those 18 Saudis on 9/11?

1	When Dith Trang and Rodney Kim get together after school, academics are the furthest thing from their minds. Described by friends as 'shiftless and dumb,' Lin Bu is one of a growing number of Asian-Americans helping to dispel the myth of the hardworking, motivated Easterner. Instead, the two ninth-graders go to Trang's house to listen to rap music, eat Doritos and get high. 'Don't make assumptions about us just because we're Asian,' says the bespectacled Trang, passing his friend a joint. 'Not all of us care about college.' With poor grades and atrocious study habits, Trang and Kim are among a growing number of young people who are challenging people's traditional notions about Asian-Americans. No longer content to be thought of as successful, intelligent, hard-working and family-oriented, an ever-increasing number of second- and third-generation Asian-Americans are beginning to fail miserably. 'This is the next logical step for us,' says Ken Chang, president of the Bay Area Asian-American Association. 'People assume all we're able to do is emigrate to the U.S. with nothing and before long establish thriving businesses and careers through hard work and determination. Well, that's just not true.' 'People look at me and figure I'm smart, just because I'm Chinese,' said Lin Bu, 27, currently unemployed and not looking for work. 'Well, I'm not. I am stupid as hell.' 'It just makes me so mad,' said Jin-Duk Soo, 19, who passed on going to college to focus on fixing up his car and picking up chicks. 'I just want to party, not achieve.' Particularly under fire are long-standing stereotypes about cultural superiority in academics. While some young Asian-Americans are simply refusing to take calculus in college or high school, others are going so far as to stage a 'math strike' to protest the unfair generalizations. 'The other day in class, my math teacher asked me to calculate the value of a sine curve,' said Jen Tashikara, 16. 'So I'm like, 'Forget it, old manI'm Asian.'' Recently, at Westlake High School in Oakland, Asian-born students held a mass 'Fail-In,' refusing to answer any test questions correctly. Among their test answers: 'Hydrogen is an adverb,' and 'The President of Russia is 2.6.' But despite recent progress, Asian-Americans still have a long way to go. According to the Census Bureau, nearly 95 percent of Asian-American high school seniors go on to college, a number Chang calls 'alarmingly high.' 
2	Hillary Is Trembling In Fear Of Trey Gowdy... Look What They Just Found In Her Emails Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has found a true rival in WikiLeaks, a site that liberals used to rally around as a way to increase transparency. Its ironic that they didnt think this transparency would come back to bite them, particularly when it comes to criminals like Hillary Clinton. Clinton has been working hard to brush off leaked information, but the latest batch of emails reveal just how deeply the Clinton team are rattled by Trey Gowdy and his investigation into her many crimes. In one example, Hillarys top adviser forwarded her and others full-length transcripts of Gowdys interviews on news programs talking about his investigation. The group then strategized how to deal with the fallout. Could this be the end for Hillary? Read a clip of the emails below and tell us what you think. 
1	Retired color commentator John Madden, 73, attacked announcer Cris Collinsworth's broadcasting abilities Monday, accusing his replacement on Sunday Night Football of lacking 'even the most basic hoagie knowledge' and failing to provide in-depth meat, cheese, and bread analysis. Madden, whose dedication and passion for submarine sandwiches is widely acknowledged, was reportedly dismayed while watching the Pro Football Hall of Fame game between the Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills earlier this month, during which Collinsworth did not at any point break down the ratio of ham to salami in common hoagie sandwiches. 'I'm deeply disappointed that Cris hasn't been able to demonstrate that he understands the inner workings of a good hoagie,' said Madden. 'For instance, this one play, I'm watching Tennessee running back Chris Johnson trying to go behind the right guard and he gets stuffed for no gain. Not once does Collinsworth use the Telestrator to draw up the correct placement of provolone so it melts perfectly over the cold cuts when toasted. It's unacceptable.' '[Collinsworth] just goes on and on about the hole getting plugged up by the defensive line,' Madden added. 'Why the heck isn't he talking about how the lineup of prosciutto, hard salami, pepperoni, Italian ham, and roast beef should completely dominate the middle of any delicious hoagie?' According to Madden, Collinsworth's inexperience was especially evident after the commentator missed dozens of opportunities to explain the proper grip needed to handle a large grinder. Madden was also 'appalled' that Collinsworth never analyzed the pros and cons of a mustard/mayo dressing combination, versus a more complex oil and vinegar mixture. 'Having played in the NFL for eight seasons, Cris should definitely know that if you don't hold on to the hoagie with both hands you're going to fumble it during the big game,' Madden said. 'Sometimes it just seems like he's not familiar at all with the fundamentals of sandwich-eating.' 'He's always saying how tough the 49ers defense was in Super Bowl XVI,' added Madden. 'Sure, they were punishing at times. But nothing like sourdough bread at Candlestick Park. That stuff will tear the roof of your mouth apart.' Madden also accused Collinsworth of demeaning the long and storied history of hoagies by neglecting to rank his all-time favorite toppings following turnovers, and repeatedly omitting meatball-based talking points during touchdown drives. A visibly emotional Madden then recounted the humble origins of the now-popular sandwich. 'In 1914, the hoagie was still a rather obscure and a not-so-giant sandwich,' said Madden, adding that the unique way of slicing the Italian bread was as much a part of the lore as the massive stacks of cold cuts and cheese. 'The poor Hog Island dockworkers in Philly, nicknamed the 'Hoggies,' found that their favorite tasty fillings would fall out of the sandwiches as they ate them. But by only slicing the bread most of the way through, thereby leaving a hinge, they were able to keep all the good parts, and cram it with three times as much meat and cheese.' 'And America's greatest hero was born,' added Madden. Becoming contemplative, Madden said he was wary of the Sunday Night Football season opener at Lambeau Field on Sept. 13, claiming that Collinsworth clearly was not prepared for the NFL's most sacred and hallowed tailgating shrine. 'Can he even name one guy running a grill out there?' Madden said. 'Because I can name all 429 of them right now, starting with Gary with the Ford Bronco in parking section D8.' 
2	The Reason Two American Girls Left Their Homes To Become ISIS Fighters Is Disturbing According to a new story by The Daily Mail, two Australian teen girls who disappeared from their homes a while back have resurfaced. Unfortunately, the discovery was not a happy one. In fact, the pair was recognized in an ISIS propaganda video, dressed in army camouflage. Another picture shows the two runaways dressed in Sharia-approved full body veils. The girls parents are believed to have come from Iraq, and evidence reveals that the family may have been followers of the holy jihad underway in Iraq and Syria. The two are not alone in their journey. In fact, more than 100 women from each Austria, Canada, and the United States are running to join the fight. Two Austrians have also gone to the battlefields of ISIS controlled territory. The pattern has been leaving many parents concerned, and many questions unanswered. The trend highlights the possibility of anti-terror assassinations against American citizens or citizens of other allied nations. It also goes to show that we cant always count on our enemies being the usual suspects. What do you think of this new terrifying trend? 
3	18 Sobering Facts About The Unprecedented Student Loan Debt Crisis In The United StatesMichael Snyder What makes all of this even worse is that only some of our college graduates are able to get the good jobs that we promised them. So with limited job prospects and suffocating levels of debt, this generation of young Americans is increasingly putting off major life commitments such as buying a home and getting married. As a society, we really need to rethink how we are educating our young people, because what we are doing now is clearly not working. The following are 18 sobering facts about the unprecedented student loan debt crisis in the United States #2 In 1994, less than half of all college graduates left school with student loan debt. Today, it is over 70 percent. #3 Approximately 15 percent of graduate and professional school students leave school with student loan debt balances in the six figures. #4 At this point, student loan debt has hit a grand total of 1.2 trillion dollars in the United States. That number has grown by about 84 percent just since 2008. #5 According to the Pew Research Center, nearly four out of every ten U.S. households that are led by someone under the age of 40 is paying off student loan debt right now. #6 The median net worth of young households that have student loan debt is 20 percent lower than the median net worth of young households that do not have any student loan debt and that are led by someone with only a high school education. #7 Among college educated people, the median net worth of young households that do not have student loan debt is seven times higher than the median net worth of young households that do have student loan debt. #8 In 2008, approximately 29 million Americans were paying off student loan debts. Today, that number has ballooned to 40 million. #9 Since 2005, student loan debt burdens have absolutely exploded while salaries for young college graduates have actually declined #10 According to CNN, 260,000 Americans with a college or professional degree made at or below the federal minimum wage last year. #11 Even after accounting for inflation, the cost of college tuition increased by 275 percent between 1970 and 2013. #12 Debt for law school students has risen dramatically over the past decade or so J.D.s certainly dont come cheap. Its almost unheard of to attend law school without taking out significant loans. Whats more, the average debt load is mounting: in 2001-2002, JDs borrowed on average $46,500 at public law schools and $70,000 at private law schools; by 2011, those numbers rose to $75,700 and $125,000, respectively. #13 Last year it was being reported that 34.9 percent of all student loan borrowers under the age of 30 are at least 90 days behind on their student loan payments. #14 One survey found that 27 percent of those with student loan debt moved back in with their parents after college. #15 Another survey found that 70 percent of all college graduates wish that they had spent more time preparing for the real world while they were still in school. #16 Student loan debt is causing many young Americans to delay getting married. The following is from a recent NBC News article #17 Many Americans are not even using most of their student loan money to pay for college. Instead, many are using much of that money to pay bills or stock the fridge #18 Only 28 percent of Americans know that the U.S. government can garnish wages and withhold tax refunds if student loan debts are not repaid. It should come as no surprise that the delinquency rate on student loan debt in this country is far higher than the delinquency rate on mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt. This is a financial bubble that gets worse with each passing year, and if we continue on our current course it is going to end very, very badly. So what do you think the solution is?

3	World Economic Forum: Robots Will Eliminate 5 Million Jobs By 2020By Joseph Jankowski WEF founder Klaus Schwab and managing board member Richard Samans wrote in the newly released report titled The Future of Jobs that an estimated 7 million jobs will be lost with just 2 million gainedas a result of technological change in 15 major developed and emerging economies. The findings are taken from a survey of 15 economies covering about 1.9 billion workers, or about 65 percent of the worlds total workforce, reports Bloomberg Business. Jill Ward of Bloomberg Business reports: The blurred lines between physical, digital and biological spheres amount to a Fourth Industrial Revolution, according to the WEF, which will address the idea as the ideaat its annual meeting of policy makers, academics and economists in Davos, Switzerland. Its already a hot topic thanks in part to books such as The Second Machine Age and The Rise of The Robots, while Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane has warned that the millions of jobs at risk from automation are creating issues officials need to address. To prevent a worst-case scenario technological change accompanied by talent shortages, mass unemployment and growing inequality reskilling and upskilling of todays workers will be critical, the authors said. It is simply not possible to weather the current technological revolution by waiting for the next generations workforce to become better prepared. According to the WEFs report, administrative and office jobs will account for two-thirds of the losses, with routine white-collar office functions at risk of being decimated. Computer, mathematical, architecture and engineering-related fieldswill see gains in job opportunities. The countries covered by the survey included Brazil, Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, South Africa, Mexico, Turkey, the U.K. and the U.S. It is critical that businesses take an active role in supporting their current workforces through re-training, that individuals take a proactive approach to their own lifelong learning and that governments create the enabling environment, rapidly and creatively, to assist these efforts, the authors said.

3	Iran Increases Naval Defense Amidst Threats From West and IsraelKeelan Balderson, Contributor The threat from the Zionist state is not to be underestimated. Although Iran is labeled as the aggressor through the biased Western mainstream media, it was Israel who reiterated threats against the Islamic Republic on Wednesday, calling for the International community to make it clear that there is a credible military option, on the table [2]. Despite not signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty and having a policy whereby nuclear attacks would be launched if they determine the Zionist regime is threatened [3], Israel has the gall to dictate to other nations how they should react to Iran, a country that does agree to peaceful nuclear operations. An Israeli official arrogantly declared to the Jerusalem Post earlier this week that word leaders should do as they say regarding Iran. [Israel] would like the international community to say that these are our demands, these are our sanctions, complyor else. It is then understandable why Iran wants it known that they will not back down and are prepared to defend themselves. Our presence in international waters is aimed at safeguarding the interests of the Islamic Republic and strengthening military power to defend Iran, said Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, the countrys current naval commander. We will multiply our efforts to enhance our military might and have a presence in international waters, he continued [4]. Sayyari also revealed via state news agency IRNA, that the Gulf of Aden region of the Indian Ocean is a particular concern and the new strategy will help guard Irans cargo ships from growing hostility from Somali pirates. As of now Iran has ordered the construction of 11 more vessels, consisting of missile-launching frigates and destroyers; the first (a Mowj-2 class destroyer) set for completion next March. Should a military conflict take place, Britain and the United States have unsurprisingly pledged support for Israel, with Britain planning to permit the US to launch jets from the Diego Garcia colony in the Indian Ocean [8]. Despite the saber-rattling against them, Iran came to the aid of a US cargo ship that was attacked by pirates last month [9]. Whos being peaceful and whos the real threat?

3	Colorado Governor Signs Law Allowing Residents To Collect Rainwater On Their PropertyBy Baran Hines Colorado residents will be allowed to store up to 110 gallons of rainwater in two 55-gallon barrels. The bill takes effect in August 2016 unless a petition is filed for a voter referendum, meaning the proposal would be voted on by the public in the November elections. Colorados farmers have been divided over the proposed law with opponents claiming rainwater collection barrels would decrease the amount of surface runoff which provides water to downstream areas. As a compromise, language to preserve prior-appropriation rights was added after the House bill passed in February, to protect the water supply guaranteed to those with older rights. The new law also enables oversight from the state engineer and directs them to study the effects of the changed law over a 3-year period. According to the Denver Post, the Colorado Farm Bureau was an opponent of the bill until those caveats were added. State Senator Jerry Sonnenberg was one of the biggest voices in opposition to the new law but called the state oversight directive to study the observed effects of a saving grace for water rights holders. Water law is so important in Colorado that it is included in the states original constitution and managed by a state agency. Thats hard for people to understand when the state owns all the water and is charged in the constitution to distribute that water, Sen. Sonnenberg told Denvers 9NEWS. The bill was helped by a recent study by Colorado State University which found that the use of rainwater collection barrels would not significantly decrease the amount of surface runoff flowing downstream. The bills passage comes amid an increasing number of Colorado initiatives to conserve resources and reduce strain on the environment. Colorados Water Conservation Board recently released the Colorado Water Plan in November 2015 as part of the states new effort to increase sustainability of water supplies, following on an executive order from Governor Hickenlooper. The new plan is part of the states increased effort for reducing water scarcity in Colorado and downstream flow to western states. The plan aims to create measurable goals as increased competition further strains the limited water resources in the state.

Collection of water is a God given right , seems asinine that a Governor would have to give you permission . Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Tell me please how collecting rainwater is using any more than the individuals fair portion of a common resource? Here in Washington our legislature tried to regulate rainwater as belonging to the STATE until we inundated them with requests to please pass their law immediately so we could sue the crap out of the STATE for the erosion and other damage caused by its rainwater. The legislature backed away quickly. Next theyll tell us were allowed to breath the air that blows in from the west. It seems very strange to me that the legislature and the governor have to pass a law, to allow ordinary people to do what people have been doing on their own properties, since time immemorial. Laughable if it wasnt so prevalent. Passings more laws rarely helps the individual, like many other laws passed that are initially benign only to be amended later to oppress humanity. No law needed.

1	Following a multiyear study of atmospheric gases and their role in organic processes on earth, a team of researchers at the University of Washington reported this week that the majority of the oxygen on the planet is used for complaining. By carefully measuring the processes of gas exchange, the respiratory capacities of living organisms, and resulting metabolic activities, we discovered that most oxygen molecules in Earths troposphere are used for the purposes of sighing, whining, and most commonly, complaining, said the studys lead author, James Lauderio, who noted that an adult human converts an average of 19 cubic feet of oxygen per day into petty grievances about acquaintances, nitpicking objections about popular media or the weather, criticisms about tasks they are performing, and general fussing with family members. And while humans are the species most responsible for transforming oxygen into complaints, its important to note that other animal life, including mammals, birds, and reptiles, also convert massive amounts of O2 into displeased growls and screeches about their habitats and food sources. Lauderio added that the research team has not been able to determine a verifiable upper limit to the number of complaints that can be produced from a single inhalation, with many human subjects reportedly producing upwards of 40 or more complaints with each breath.

3	The College Industrial ComplexDave Hodges For those of you who have children approaching college age, your eyes will be opened by the words written here. And the words written here are coming from a college insider who is intimately familiar with these corrupt student lending practices. And like many of you, not only am I professionally entrenched in this unholy system, I am not that many years away from witnessing the enslavement of my soon to be college-age child. In order to obtain a college degree today, students must pay about three times as much for their degree as did someone graduating 30 years ago, even when accounting for inflation. And there is not one shred of evidence that the quality of the education today has similarly increased. In fact, the existing data suggests that our college students are paying far more than their parents did, and receiving a less quality education. According to the College Board, in 1983 a typical private American university managed to provide a bachelors degree education to young people just like you for $11,000 a year in tuition and fees; today, it costs almost $30,000 per year. The global elite can bid up education prices, just as they do real estate prices in Manhattan and San Francisco. However, you do not have to live in a pricey area. However, your children do need a college education in order to be competitive. Middle class parents are targeted by this corrupt system, as both the poor and the rich can better afford a college education than they can. This fact is right in line with the philosophy of the global elite to have two social classes in America: the haves and the have nots,and the middle class has been targeted for elimination. There is still another group who is benefiting from this conspiracy: the Federal government. Please allow me to share an anecdotal story of a typical federal student loan story that I am personally aware of. The original loan amount for undergraduate student, Stephen L., was $55,684. Recently, the last statement he received in March showed a balance $93,789. This student loan accrued an interest payment of $38,105 in interest. This also represented an increase by 9% over the interest rate originally charged, and the notice of the rate increase was not announced until the last bill arrived to the students mailbox. For the student, this represents a monthly payment which now exceeds his monthly income. He filed a written protest and received the following notice. He was told that the rate of interest could increase without notice and it did. He was told that if he did not pay, they would garnish his wages, seize any tax refund and would also take out the amount on the back end through his Social Security. Even being disabled does not allow one to opt-out of paying this extortion money. If Stephen were struck by a car crossing the street and he was placed on life support, the government could garnish his disability and medical payout amounts. In other words, if you dont pay your student loan, the government could literally make you homeless and starve you to death. And if you owe a federal student loan, you better get comfortable sleeping with your clothes on. Kenneth Wright, from Stockton, CA was grabbed by the neck, and drug out on his front lawn before being handcuffed as his three young children were put in a police car while the officers searched his house. Wright was in his underwear and, amazingly, the warrant was for his estranged wife, not him, and she was not home at the time of the raid. Acting on behalf of the Department of Education, the SWAT team damaged the house and have refused to properly repair the damage. Wright was held for 6 1/2 hours before federal officials released him. The federal government has an extreme motivation to engage in predatory student lending for college tuition. The government is charging exorbitant interest, on a balance of $1 trillion dollars; and for this kind of money, they will break your door down and terrorize you and your family. Very soon, perhaps, we will be reading that the Department of Education has purchased 2.2 billion rounds of ammunition as well as 2700 armored personnel carriers. The Real Reason Behind This Insanity The college student loan practice is an extreme racket! The feds want their cut, but there is even more of a compelling reason that the global elite have created this heinous practice. The global elite benefit from pricing college out of the price range of todays children because if David Rockefellers grandchildren have a college degree, and yours dont, your children will work for these monsters and become subservient to them. And if one works for the global elite masters, then one is not likely to pursue ideals like freedom and liberty as our young adult children are being propagandized and threatened to accept the New World Order agenda. The tenets of the Hitler Youth movement are alive and well and being implemented through our institutions of higher learning. How this is being done will be the subject of a future article. The Common Sense Show features a wide variety of important topics that range from the loss of constitutional liberties, to the subsequent implementation of a police state under world governance, to exploring the limits of human potential. The primary purpose of The Common Sense Show is to provide Americans with the tools necessary to reclaim both our individual and national sovereignty. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	A new report by the Mayo Clinic revealed that most cases of Attention Deficit Disorder are not diagnosed until one or both parents are publicly humiliated by their child's behavior. 'More often than not it takes something like a kid goofing off during a choir recital to act as a wake-up call for parents,' said Dr. Emily Chao, who realized her own son had ADD when he forgot his lines and knocked over a piece of scenery during a school play. 'While many children's symptoms may not be apparent at first, they become markedly more acute when viewed in a public forum such as a spelling bee.' Doctors have also recently discovered a new syndrome that compels unemployed 30-year-olds to move back home even though their parents did a perfectly fine job raising them. 
2	The Most Honest Political Warrior In History Is About To Change History Forever This election season, Congressman Trey Gowdy received the excellent news that he had been re-elected for a fourth term representing upstate South Carolina. As it turns out, he may never serve that fourth term. According to reports from Conservative 101, he is a finalist for an important position in President-elect Donald Trumps Administration. Several names have surfaced as potential choices for U.S. Attorney General, and Trey Gowdy is at the top of the listin strong competition with the likes of Rudy Giuliani. Gowdy did not say whether he would accept the position if it was offered to him, but he said the follow about his role in Washington: The voters have given us the greatest privilege in democratic republican, which is the opportunity to govern. It is imperative we keep our word to the American people and govern in a way worthy of their respect, Gowdy continued. Voters spoke in loud, clear terms and those entrusted with the opportunity to serve should listen and hear with equal clarity. What do you think? Should Trump pick Gowdy for his administration? 
2	U.S. Olympic Medalists SLAMS Cops, Humiliating America After Winning The Gold Medal Simon Manuel was recently named the first black American to win gold in an Olympic swimming competition. Amid her success, she was given the opportunity to address the public. Many hoped she would use that platform to share stories of success and opportunity. Instead, she focused her energy on police in America and tell a story of racial bias. On August 11, Manuel finished the 100-meter freestyle with a time of 52:70, tied with 16-year-old Penny Oleksiak from Canada. The two won and share an Olympic record. In an interview following the victory, Manuel made a comment that outraged Americans everywhere. It is something Ive definitely struggled with a lot, Manuel said of her race. Coming into the race I tried to take weight of the black community off my shoulders. Its something I carry with me. I want to be an inspiration, but I would like there to be a day when it is not Simone the black swimmer. What do you think of Manuels comments? 
2	Florida Democrats Vote Unanimously To Impose Sharia Law On Women Well it appears that Florida Democrats have decided to attack the freedom of women, but luckily, Republicans arent about to make that happen. According to recent reports, when voting whether or not to ban Sharia Law in Florida, every single Democrat voted against the ban. Thankfully, the ban received 24 votes from Republicans, and was ultimately passed. A recent article outlined what would happen if Sharia Law were to be passed in the United States: What do you think? Are you glad our states are taking action to ban Sharia law? 
1	Lunchtime trading at the Franklin Elementary Snack Exchange was up 34 swaps at the closing recess bell Tuesday, an unprecedented frenzy of activity triggered by the trade of a Ziploc bag of Herr's Extra Thin Pretzels for a Little Debbie Fudge Brownie. Snack market analysts say the windfall is reminiscent of the famed 1998 Mott's Apple Juice juice box for Hostess Fruit Pie exchange, in which a previously undervalued snack outperformed virtually all expectations. However, unlike yesterday's trade, the '98 deal had little cumulative effect on the market. Speaking from the wrapper- littered trading floor, longtime Herr's snackholder Brian Genschen, 9, said that his deal with trader Jeff Fraser, 8, came close to collapsing. 'At first I only wanted to give him a handful of pretzels, but when he said 'no way,' I knew I had to sweeten the deal,' said Genschen, who subsequently agreed to increase his initial offering price to the entire bag of pretzels. 'Then he was like 'okay.'' Genschen has of yet indicated no interest in an initial public offering of the fudge brownie, and said he expects Fraser to honor the terms of the deal. 'No trade backs,' Genschen said. Known for his astute snack-trading judgment, Genschen based his trade on simple observation. Noting that Fraser's lunches had contained the individually wrapped brownies for over a week, Genschen surmised that he 'was probably sick of them by now.' Critics of Genschen, who claim that he actually obtained insider knowledge when he snooped in the Frasers' pantry during a recent sleepover and found six boxes of snack cakes, pelted him with grapes. 'That's totally so not fairnow everyone will want me to trade away all of my Swiss Cake Rolls,' Tracy Cabanne, 9, said. Like many with extensive snack-cake holdings, Cabanne hoped that the sudden demand was only a temporary trend. Nevertheless, the fourth-grader appeared to support a diversification strategy to compensate for any potential losses, telling her mother after class to buy the Frito-Lay variety pack next time she was at the store. Genschen said he felt he made the best trade of his elementary school career, despite being plagued by subsequent hostile takeover attempts on his brownie, which he deposited in his K-Swiss backpack. And while he took a notable loss on the pretzels, Genschen maintains that he has sufficient liquid assets in his 16-ounce strawberry Nesquik. 'Anybody want to trade something for grapes?' Genschen said. 'They're still pretty good. I'll trade them for some of those blue chips.' The impending bell created turmoil as anxious traders attempted to avoid rapid devaluations by dumping their snacks. While some were able to make substantial gains, the activity resulted in a flood of Sun-Maid raisin boxes and an estimated 56 feet of Fruit by the Foot. However, school lunch experts cautioned that no matter what happens with smaller commodities, pizza will always remain the gold standard. 'I'm pretty excited with the way things are goingmaybe I can finally get rid of these celery sticks,' Kevin Griebe, 8, said. 'My mom never packs good lunches.' Many are blaming the current trading atmosphere for today's irrational playground exuberance, which resulted in the tossing of a whole-grain bagel onto the roof of the school building. Yet others are quick to point out that the volatility is symptomatic of an economy still recovering from a gummi bear market. Nationwide, the NASNAQ closed at 2,261, up 54 points from the previous lunch period. With spikes in trading volume, the potato chip lost ground to the pretzel, mutual Funyuns rose, and Cheese Nips continued to have a bite-sized share of the market. Despite the more adventurous mood, trades with the Indian kid remained steady at zero, as his lunchtime commodities are generally deemed a totally gross domestic product. 
1	The Burbank Police Department is on the trail of an unnamed NBC executive believed to be responsible for a string of random Later hostings dating back to April 1996, it was reported Monday. 'This brutal, senseless parade of C-list celebrities in the host's chair must end,' police chief Dennis Showalter said. 'We will do everything in our power to bring to justice the fiend responsible for the countless painfully awkward interviews perpetrated by the low-wattage likes of Peri Gilpin, Jerry O'Connell, and Rita Sever.' 
3	US War on Iran Takes Bizarre TurnTony Cartalucci It is not Western policy that indirectly spurs the creation and perpetuation of terrorist organizations, but in fact, direct, intentional, unmistakable support. This support would manifest itself in perhaps the most overt and bizarre declaration of allegiance to terrorism to date, US Army General Hugh Shelton on stage before terrorists of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) and their Wahabist counterparts fighting in Syria, hysterically pledging American material, political, and strategic backing. MEK was listed for years by the US State Department as a foreign terrorist organization, but has received funding, arms, and safe haven by the United States for almost as long. General Hughs speech titled, Making Iranian mullahs fear, the MEK, come true, was most likely never meant to be seen or fully understood by Americans. In title alone, it is clear that US foreign policy intends to use the tool of terrorism to exact concessions from Tehran. If the true nature of Americas support for terrorist organizations like MEK were more widely known, the current narrative driving US intervention in Iraq and Syria would crumble. MEK Has Killed US Servicemen, Contractors, and Iranian Civilians For Decades MEK has carried out decades of brutal terrorist attacks, assassinations, and espionage against the Iranian government and its people, as well as targeting Americans including the attempted kidnapping of US Ambassador Douglas MacArthur II, the attempted assassination of USAF Brigadier General Harold Price, the successful assassination of Lieutenant Colonel Louis Lee Hawkins, the double assassinations of Colonel Paul Shaffer and Lieutenant Colonel Jack Turner, and the successful ambush and killing of American Rockwell International employees William Cottrell, Donald Smith, and Robert Krongard. Admissions to the deaths of the Rockwell International employees can be found within a report written by former US State Department and Department of Defense official Lincoln Bloomfield Jr. on behalf of the lobbying firm Akin Gump in an attempt to dismiss concerns over MEKs violent past and how it connects to its current campaign of armed terror a testament to the depths of depravity from which Washington and London lobbyists operate. To this day MEK terrorists have been carrying out attacks inside of Iran killing political opponents, attacking civilian targets, as well as carrying out the US-Israeli program of targeting and assassinating Iranian scientists. MEK terrorists are also suspected of handling patsies in recent false flag operations carried out in India, Georgia, and Thailand, which have been ham-handedly blamed on the Iranian government by the United States and Israel. MEK is described by Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow Ray Takeyh as a cult-like organization with totalitarian tendencies. While Takeyh fails to expand on what he meant by cult-like and totalitarian, an interview with US State Department-run Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty reported that a MEK Camp Ashraf escapee claimed the terrorist organization bans marriage, using radios, the Internet, and holds many members against their will with the threat of death if ever they are caught attempting to escape. US Has Been Eagerly Supporting MEK Terrorists For Years Besides providing MEK terrorists with now two former US military bases in Iraq as safe havens, the US has conspired to arm, fund, and back MEK for years in a proxy war against Iran. Covert support for the US-listed terrorist group Mujahedeen e-Khalq (MEK) has been ongoing since at least 2008 under the Bush administration, when Seymour Hershs 2008 New Yorker article Preparing the Battlefield, reported that not only had MEK been considered for their role as a possible proxy, but that the US had already begun arming and financing them to wage war inside Iran: The M.E.K. has been on the State Departments terrorist list for more than a decade, yet in recent years the group has received arms and intelligence, directly or indirectly, from the United States. Some of the newly authorized covert funds, the Pentagon consultant told me, may well end up in M.E.K. coffers. The new task force will work with the M.E.K. The Administration is desperate for results. He added, The M.E.K. has no C.P.A. auditing the books, and its leaders are thought to have been lining their pockets for years. If people only knew what the M.E.K. is getting, and how much is going to its bank accountsand yet it is almost useless for the purposes the Administration intends. More recently, the British Daily Mail published a stunning admission by US officials that Israel is currently funding, training, arming, and working directly with MEK. The Daily Mail article states: Seymour Hersh in an NPR interview, also claims that select MEK members have already received training in the US. U.S. officials confirmed today that Israel has been funding and training Iranian dissidents to assassinate nuclear scientists involved in Irans nuclear program. Washington insiders confirmed there is a close relationship between Mossad and MEK. In 2009, an extensive conspiracy was formulated within US policy think-tank Brookings Institutions 2009 Which Path to Persia? report, proposing to fully arm, train, and back MEK as it waged a campaign of armed terror against the Iranian people. In their report, they openly conspire to use what is an admitted terrorist organization as a US proxy: Perhaps the most prominent (and certainly the most controversial) opposition group that has attracted attention as a potential U.S. proxy is the NCRI (National Council of Resistance of Iran), the political movement established by the MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq). Critics believe the group to be undemocratic and unpopular, and indeed anti-American. In contrast, the groups champions contend that the movements long-standing opposition to the Iranian regime and record of successful attacks on and intelligence-gathering operations against the regime make it worthy of U.S. support. They also argue that the group is no longer anti-American and question the merit of earlier accusations. Raymond Tanter, one of the groups supporters in the United States, contends that the MEK and the NCRI are allies for regime change in Tehran and also act as a useful proxy for gathering intelligence. The MEKs greatest intelligence coup was the provision of intelligence in 2002 that led to the discovery of a secret site in Iran for enriching uranium. Despite its defenders claims, the MEK remains on the U.S. government list of foreign terrorist organizations. In the 1970s, the group killed three U.S. officers and three civilian contractors in Iran. During the 1979-1980 hostage crisis, the group praised the decision to take America hostages and Elaine Sciolino reported that while group leaders publicly condemned the 9/11 attacks, within the group celebrations were widespread. Undeniably, the group has conducted terrorist attacksoften excused by the MEKs advocates because they are directed against the Iranian government. For example, in 1981, the group bombed the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, which was then the clerical leaderships main political organization, killing an estimated 70 senior officials. More recently, the group has claimed credit for over a dozen mortar attacks, assassinations, and other assaults on Iranian civilian and military targets between 1998 and 2001. At the very least, to work more closely with the group (at least in an overt manner), Washington would need to remove it from the list of foreign terrorist organizations. Besides US Army General Hugh Shelton, other prominent US politicians to literally stand before crowds of baying MEK terrorists and their supporters include former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Howard Dean, Tom Ridge, John Lewis, Ed Rendell, former ambassador John Bolton, former FBI Director Louis Freeh, retired General Wesley Clark, Lee Hamilton, former US Marine Corps Commandant General James Jones, and Alan Dershowitz. US Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi would also stand in front of MEK terrorists to deliver to them an Iranian New Year greeting. Blind Lust for Global Hegemony is Leading America Over a Cliff What it says about American foreign policy, to trick US servicemen and women into dying in far-off lands to fight terrorism when US politicians in the highest positions of power openly pledge support to terrorism using it as a battering ram against its enemies abroad, and failing to topple them by proxy, using their own terrorist hordes as a pretext for direct military intervention to do so is that such policy is underpinned by nothing more than blind lust for power, wealth, and influence in senseless pursuit of global hegemony. There is no guiding principles of peace, stability, democracy, freedom, or any confining principles of humanity that prohibit US foreign policy from exercising the most abhorrent practices in order to achieve its goals. Failure to identify these interests blindly chasing hegemony at the cost of global peace and prosperity leads not only America over a cliff into a ravine of madness, but the entire world as well. That a US general can stand before terrorists even as the US bombs two nations in the name of fighting terrorism, is but a glimpse into this madness.For America and the Western aligned nations and interests caught in its orbit, there is no future. Chasing hegemony for the sake of hegemony alone leaves no room for actual progress. When anything and everything obstructing the path to hegemony is seen as an enemy to be destroyed by any means necessary, that includes setting aside resources and attention to solving some of the most pressing issues of our time health care, infrastructure, education, better jobs, peace, and prosperity. All of these are seen as obstacles toward hegemony, and the very same interests standing before MEK terrorists pledging Americas resources to their campaign of terrorism against Iran, are the same interests calling for and implementing austerity upon the American people to continuously fuel its foreign adventures.

2	Michelle Obama Lashes Out At GOP For... The GOP has been pushing back on the nutrition standards imposed on schools across the country, thanks to Michelle Obamas initiative. The First Lady is not staying quiet about the matter, and made her opinions known in a recent newspaper reports. In the article, Michelle states that one of the initiatives has been to improve school lunches across the country. In an Op Ed column in The New York Times, Michelle claims that the new lunches use less salt, sugar, and fat. The decreases were designed to lower the obesity rate in both children and teenagers. Now, Republicans are attempting to roll the initiative back, and exempt some schools from the strict standards because of budget concerns. Schools have been facing financial hardship, having a hard time affording healthier foods for students. While the GOP sees benefits in the program, the monetary effects cannot be ignored. Further, schools have noted that children have pushed back against the programs, and much of the food they are investing in is ending up in trash cans. Michelle feels as though Republicans are trying to undo what she has fought so hard to implement. She feels that the health of our children should be a priority, no matter what the burden. What do you think? Is Michelle taking her initiatives to the extreme? 
1	Ryan Caldwell, a beautiful 4-year-old child, no doubt the very future of the Caldwell family and a promising young member of his nation, was choked to death Tuesday by a Taiwanese-manufactured miniature toy car. The cowardly and disloyal American-child-killing territory of Taiwanproperly known as Chinese Taipeiwhose people and illegitimate government could be annihilated at any moment, has not yet issued an apology for murdering this gentle child with its hazardous toy product. Early reports indicate that the moment Caldwell ceased breathing, Taipei president Ma Ying-jeou, an awful man, laughed heartily, even as the boy's parents cried out in anguish at the loss of their only son. Toys manufactured in China, sources confirmed, are constructed for the enjoyment of children, and not for the purpose of fatally choking them. Had the gasping Ryan been able to utter any final words in the last moments of his life, experts believe they likely would have been: 'Throughout history, from its defeat by the honorable Mao Tse-tung in 1949 to its blatant defiance of the Anti-Secession Law of 2005, Chinese Taipei has acted in a treacherous manner. Goodbye, mother and father. My dying wish is that Taipei someday realizes its countless errors and declares its loyalty to the Mainland.' At press time, the People's Republic remained a patient nationbut for how long? 
3	White House Pulls Plug on Vaccine Rights PetitionCatherine J. Frompovich However, that petition PROHIBIT ANY LAWS MANDATING THE FORCE AND REQUIREMENT OF VACCINATIONS OF ANY KIND figuratively had the plug pulled insofar as that website has/had been frozen and not recording the number of incoming signatures in order to reach the 100,000 criterion for presidential consideration and/or action. See this: That action is a very serious breach in the democratic process of governance occurring at highest levels! The closing down of the petition website about vaccine safety concerns and rights is a most dramatic indication of a fascist-like-run-government, i.e., government run by special controlling interest, if there ever were one that obvious, in this writers opinion. According to The Free Dictionary online by Farlex, fascism is defined as: Oppressive, dictatorial control, and, A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent government controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. [CJF emphasis added] However, pro-vaccine enthusiasts created a live online petition at the White House titled Require all parents to vaccinate their children, or be charged with child endangerment with 3,096 signatures as of 6PM March 2, 2015! How come thats allowed to go live, but the petition opposing forced vaccinations was frozen? In a supposedly free and open society, which we think and hope we are living inbut now dramatically proven to the contrarycitizens should and must have their concerns aired, made known, heard, and also receive consideration unless, of course, vested interests are pulling strings behind the scenes, which probably may be the case with the petition opposing forced vaccinations. If vaccine concerns are important to you, I suggest your taking action by still trying to access the petition website here and signing it. Also, please contact the White House to register your feelings about the petition being frozen. See the Natural News story about that here. Here are phone numbers from the White House website in order to telephone your comments about the petition site being frozen.

2	Muslim Refugees Are Destroying Everything They Touch In Italy, Obama Needs To See THIS [VIDEO] According to recent claims from the Syrian operative, more than 4,000 ISIS gunmen have been successfully smuggled into western nations. They are now reportedly hiding among innocent refugees. Reports indicate that the Islamic State has been actively smuggling gunmen across the Turkish border and through to other European nations. I saw an elderly Italian woman in a car that was surrounded by the immigrants, one eyewitness described. They pulled her by the hair out of the car and wanted to us it to go to Germany. They tried to topple the bus I was in. What do you think? Should the United States be taking this threat very seriously? 
3	Med Gas Fields Discovery Leading to Battle for Wealth in Volatile Middle EastBrandon Turbeville The official announcement of the existence of the Med gas fields was announced as far back as 2000, when it was discovered that major gas fields were found off the Palestinian Gaza strip. Typically, Israel is blocking efforts to develop these fields out of fear that such natural resources will provide an injection of economic activity and funding to the embattled Palestinian people. In 2009-2010, Israel announced that yet more natural gas fields were found in the Eastern Mediterannean sea, which has become one of the largest natural gas finds in the region. Two of the largest fields, known as Tamar and Leviathan (quite interesting and foreboding names when one considers the Jewish and Christian religious texts and traditions), are largely accepted as belonging to Israel. 260 miles west of Israel, Cyprus also sits atop a massive natural gas field. According to Cypriot figures, the fields hold enough natural gas to make the tiny nation energy independent for the next 200 hundred years even while Cyprus becomes a gas exporter. Yet, in what could become yet another facet to the controversy between natural gas field claims centering around Israel, the Israeli maritime waters directly adjoin those of Cyprus. Even more so, Israels biggest natural gas field, Leviathan, appears to extend all the way into Cyprus waters, presenting the world with yet another potentially explosive maritime claim confrontation. In anticipation of such a row, Israel announced early last year that the Israeli Navy was preparing plans to defend the fields. The plan is by no means miniscule as the mass of the gas fields is twice as big as the Israeli state itself no short order for any military. With that in mind, the naval plan must carry with it the ability to defend offshore drilling vessels, undersea pipelines, production platforms, transportation ships, and other types of gas drilling equipment. As UPI reported in 2011, Israels military command has been planning to expand the 7,000-person navy, the smallest of the countrys armed services, for some time. Priority has gone primarily to acquiring three more Dolphin-class submarines from Germany to double the size of this strategic force capable of hitting Iran. This announcement came as Iranian warships moved into the area on what the Iranians deemed a training and flag-showing operation. While there were no altercations in this particular circumstance, the tension between Israel and Iran has only grown sharper in the year since. As Israel moves to develop defensive plans for its natural gas find, Egypt has also stated that it will be watching the Mad Dog of the Middle East closely to ensure that it will not infringe upon sovereign Egyptian territory. Yet interest in the Med gas fields is by no means confined to a small circle of Middle Eastern nations plus Cyprus. Russia, too, is seriously concerned over the potential challenge these gas finds may pose to their virtual monopoly over the natural gas supply to Western Europe. If Cyprus, Israel, Lebanon, or Palestine become gas exporters, Russia would then see its control over the Western European customer base threatened. Thus, Moscow has been courting both Israel and Cyprus, in the form of massive energy company Gazprom who is now reportedly in talks with Israel regarding a possible deal involving a large injection of funds to encourage and facilitate further gas exploration in the region. Furthermore, Turkey also may have a vested interest in the decisions being made over the Med fields. Although Turkey seized the Northern part of Cyprus after an invasion in 1974, the southern part of Cyprus remains under Greek-Cypriot control. Given the level of imperialist behavior being exhibited by Turkey in recent months over the NATO-backed Syrian destabilization, one can only wonder just how long the divided nation will be able to resist the temptation to lay its own claim to the gas fields in some way or another.

3	Reverse Engineering the Illuminati Mind SetJulian Rose This salutary tale provides us with an excellent template for the deconstruction of the Illuminati mind set and the reversing of its malevolent Masonic ambitions. Firstly, though, we need to agree that there really is some form of master plan which guides the activities of those who are intent upon taking control over of all arteries of human activity on this planet. There is no lack of evidence pointing to the existence of a small hierarchical cabal of rabid power brokers whose influence on the workings of this planet far exceeds that of the main players in the typical competitive fields of commerce and even politics. The origins of this cabal have been traced to a small network of interlinked family bloodlines going back to and beyond the dominant fiefdoms of power once present in the citadels of old Europe. A Black Nobility, as it was known, that asserts a direct hereditary line to extra terrestrial gods that came to this planet at least two millennia ago and set about dominating its development according to a darkly scripted and distinctly sinister plan. A line can be traced from that time right up to present day shadowy Godfather figures who stand behind all the major banking, oil, pharmaceutical and military industrial corporations of this decade. Now, to understand the mechanics whereby this dark clan evolved its control strategies, we have to enter its domain and have a look around inside. This exercise demands a surety of touch on the part of the infiltrator as well as a well-grounded sense of the inter-connective nature of the energies that make up the total portrait of life, from the darkest to the lightest points of the spectrum. We will travel a passage which directly connects the resonant light region to the morphic dark region, using a vehicle ourselves which remains innerly illumined throughout. So here we go As we close-in on our destination, one of the first things that becomes apparent is that the behaviour of the entities who inhabit this place is marked by a certain heaviness. Where there should be movement there is instead stagnation. The entity we decide to observe is not motivated by spontaneity of any description. To function, it appears to need very little photon absorption; like fish living at the very bottom of the deep ocean. An imploded vibrancy field draws upon low frequency carbon sources as a sustaining factor, andan inverted auroric field takes the form of a microcosmic black hole, situated below the plexus. To this is attracted all that has failed to utilize its life potential in the outer world. Particularly in the human realm. All that has made no attempt to raise its consciousness and is therefore dependent upon the distorted consumerist miasma of daily existence. This is the source of the fuel that maintains the devouring nature of this perpetually hungry void. As we move in closer, we can feel a certain numbness chilling the atmosphere, a blanket which cuts off incoming vibratory waves that normally interact with the inner sensitivities of conscious beings, forming the staple ingredients of our awakened lives. Penetrating further, we allow ourselves to absorb something of the state of being of this entity. This manoeuvre, which is not without danger, is a prerequisite for our gaining a true understanding of the make up the composition of that which we are exploring. If we cant empathise with it we cant influence it. At the centre of this strangely void and dark interior where we now are, is a sense of intense inward contraction. As though the entity is holding something within a prison of privacy, power and protection. These emotions forming a neutron around which life appears to revolve. This is a polarised reverse gravitational field, the opposite to that of loving sentient humans. Now we must perform a little trick that will allow us to slip sideways through the low vibrational plasmic field of this entity; turning ourselves around on the inside so that we face the way we came in. This is so as to maintain the connect with the cord of umbilical light that is accompanying us at all times on this journey into the underworld. We are performing the same role as Theseus in the Minotaurs lair. A line from the light resonance centre is our golden thread which ensures the continuity of higher energy is never lost while on this mission into darkness. It is only when we have arrived here on the inside of darkness that we can start the process of reversing the sequences that lie behind the destructive behaviour patterns of Illuminati initiates. We are called upon to set in motion the transformation of the dark gravity fields that have, up until now, been venomously sucking outside energies into their mass, obscuring the inner source of sentient compassion so that it can find no outward expression. Now, if you have been able to follow me on this journey so far congratulations! Stick with it, for here comes the crucial, delicate part of this operation that can set in motion a paradigm shift capable of bringing light and balance back to a deeply disturbed internal and external order. For the Illuminati mind is caught, mostly of its own will, in an alien world that reverses the normal sequence of events. Just as the Gestapo Swastika is the reverse image of an ancient spiritual peace symbol so the ritualistic engagement in satanic worship in which the Illuminati participate reverses the positivity of loving emotion and hardens it into an oppositional counterpart. In consciously entering into this domain ourselves, we experience certain patterns within this darkness that are familiar to us. That are part of our motional vocabulary. Now this is a crucial discovery, as it means that we have penetrated a veil within ourselves that has regarded, up until now, the dark motivation that is characteristic of an Illuminati mind set to be something wholly alien. Something that we can conveniently place outside ourselves something inhuman. As we slowly gyrate around this strange and murky environment, like an astronaut floating in outer space, we gradually detect just the tiniest ray of pure light! Its the way that light is observed by deep sea explorers peering out of their submersibles at great depths beneath the oceans surface. This discovery is of profound significance because it reveals that a living light element exists within the dark entity which must connect right through to the opposite spectrum: the centre of light. A not-well -understood truth that has come down to us from the great sages of the past. Equally importantly, it reveals that the dark entities, so capable of reeking havoc on our planetary existence, also have within themselves a divine spark capable of transforming their crudeness even if this spark remains almost completely smothered by the entitys current extreme opposition to its manifestation. Gaining the sense of recognition that this state is common to both us and them opens up a valve within us that release a pheromone of compassion. This pheromone speaks to the little photon of love that burns up until now undetected within the dark entity. So here we are, camped on the inside of this dark hole and yet able to feel a waft of genuine compassion for its predicament! Is such a thing possible? Of course it is. For it awakens the cellular tissues that lie dormant within the sleeping sentient plain of the dark entity. Without this touchpaper having been activated, we are unable to set in motion the operation that we have come here to perform. Once a human being gifted as all are with divine powers to take control of the greater destiny of this universe crosses the Rubicon, and, keeping his/her divine torch burning throughout, penetrates the greater darkness and releases that which holds back its evolution into light we will finally have fulfilled the aspirations of the great legendary heroes King Arthur, Theseus, Orpheus, and all great mythic explorers of the underworld. Once we have recognised and accepted that we, too, hold within our composition, the seed of darkness, the power of destruction, the capacity to exert compassion-less will power, only then can we carry though the mission that our Creator equipped us to perform. So now, working from within this microcosmic black hole, the pheromone of our compassion helps spark within this entity a little stirring and that stirring causes the entity to have a feeling to which he/she is quite unaccustomed, yet which acts like an ancient memory. You see, somewhere deep inside, this entity knows that the light which presently scares it is also its one chance for transformation and release. Release from the cold vice-like clamp which seals the heart away from love the black hole that this entity has aligned itself with. A black hole whose imploded gravitational field is maintained via vampiric sucking on the innocent energies that can be enticed to offer themselves unto it. And indeed, this is the horrific nature of paedophilia, archon subversions, satanic rituals and violent sustained acts of aggression and war; always with the aim of maintaining power over others. An ambition which is born out of a deep fear for the ways of truth. As this activated photon vibration gets under way, its transformative vibratory pulse opens into the light of day that which, for so long, has festered on the bottom rung of cyclic decay. Unlike the task given to St. George and and Theseus it is not for us to slay the dragon but to help it to know that this is not its final form. We are here to encourage that little spark of remaining light to expand and to awaken the cellular tissues, so that they can ultimately metamorphose this deathly entity into a being able to enter the higher planes of existence. A process whereby its scaly old skin will simply fall away. I think we all know that the us and them syndrome is essentially a kind of stalemate that tends to further provoke aggressive tendencies by both parties and never reaches an empowering or satisfactory conclusion. Yet its tortuously difficult to get beyond this state. The breakthrough comes when we see that we are neither divisible nor separate from those we oppose and who oppose us. And that, once whole, we can embrace the darkness and the light and find pathways towards the evolution and resolution of what otherwise appear to be irreversible and unresolvable dichotomies. It is therefore now possible to suggest that the dark sides attempts to crush and obliterate the thinking, feeling inhabitants of planet Earth will ultimately deny these destroyers the one means they have left to come alive and be freed. For there is no escaping the ubiquitous and loving photon power that casts its ever broader beam over a wild yet waking world. And it is we we human beings who have been entrusted by our Creator with bringing about this task of transformation. So that Illuminati with nowhere left to hide can finally embark upon the genuine road of illumination or be driven into hiding ever deeper into still uncharted corners of this universe. The ability to summon sufficient bravery to encourage the gift of light to awaken in those who we have every reason to despise, is the next great threshold in the evolution of awaking man.

3	There is No Fix: The Entire System Will Detonate Within the First YearMac Slavo The Patient Affordable Care Act is an unprecedented catastrophe in the making. While millions of Americans are losing their health care coverage within weeks, the health care exchanges advocated by Obamacare supporters are in shambles. So far, a little over 100,000 people have signed up. Moreover, whats important to understand is that none of these people have yet paid a premium, so in essence, those are preliminary numbers. When the monthly bill comes due, well see how many people actually have the money to pay the exorbitant new rates. The key problem is one of basic arithmetic. Remember, what this legislation does is it robs from Paul to pay Peter. This means that the whole system is essentially a pyramid scheme that depends on one group of people paying the premium for those who are the beneficiaries of this free and affordable insurance. As we know all too well, the new rates for those who have to pay into the system aredouble or triple their previous insurance premiums and those newly minted rates actually stand to double again because there is not enough money in the system to provide coverage for everyone. We can sum this up in two words: Unmitigated Disaster. And just so were clear, were not talking about these issues rearing their head a decade or so down the road. Were talking about mere months before the whole thing falls apart. The reality? This number sucks irrespective of so-called technological problems. The system needs 100 times that number to be stable. It wont be. If they manage to get ten times this number in the next six weeks (the cut-off), which is looking to be a fantasy-land impossibility, the entire system will detonate within the first year and provided they force it to survive premiums will see huge increases, likely double or more, a year from now. Let me remind everyone that nobody in the lower and middle class has the money to pay not only for the so-called insurance under these plans which are running roughly twice what everyone is spending now but in addition if you use the so-called insurance the deductibles are frequently double to ten times what you had before. Theres no fix for this folks. The stock market is ignoring a passed law that will cause these impacts starting January 1st and its utterly amusing to watch the SP up 10 and the Naz skyrocketing today (not to mention the retailers) when you look at what this is going to do to peoples budgets coming into the new year with the holidays coming up. The numbers are even worse than I had expected they might be. especially on the federal exchange side. Via Karl Denningers Market Ticker Americans have lost trillions of dollars in wealth in since the crash of 2008. Weve seen jobs wiped out to such an extent that nearly one in four Americans cant find a job. Over 100 million people are living in poverty or right on the edge. And now, on top of all that, those who are fortunate enough to have jobs just got hammered with a doubling and trebling of their insurance rates, which for many American families have risen as high as an entire months mortgage payment. If you think this isnt happening, youre living in a dream world. Your politics are irrelevant to the outcome. What your savior in the White House says makes absolutely no difference. If you want to close your eyes and pretend like its not happening, then reality will hit you square in the face at a high rate of speed in the very near future. The collapse is dead ahead. It cannot be stopped. Expect 2014 to be a rough year for America. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared. 
3	Latest Study into the Possibility of Megadroughts Ignores Much of the Real Science of Climate ChangeChris Carrington A drier Southwest is also a Southwest at risk of a megadrought,said study author Toby Ault, a climate scientist at Cornell University. Of course, the study implicates global warming as the cause of these future droughts; it does not take into account the planet hasnt actually warmed at all since 1998. Publications from around the world have published articles relating to the hiatus in global warming. You can read some of them here, here, andhere. This article, by the eminent climate scientist Prof Don Easterbrook gives a full explanation of not only the end, for now of global warming, but how the planet is actually cooling at the moment. The Journal of Climate Science study only takes into account precipitation, and even with that it deals with the averages in recent years. It makes no account for years of mammoth snowfall, or years of above average rainfall. Finally, it makes no reference at all to the cycles the Earth is proven to go through. Back in the 1970s scientists were screaming that a new ice age was upon usthey were of course wrong. The planet goes through cycles of warming and cooling and this is whats happening now, it has always happened and it will continue to happen. There is no doubt that the climate does from time to time experience a flip in a short space of time, a decade or so rather than the thousands of years usually associated with a major climate shift. Ice core analysis has proven this. Richard Alley is a world expert on ice core analysis and has proven that abrupt climate change has happened several times before. Such abrupt changes have been absent during the few key millennia when agriculture and industry have arisen. The speed, size, and the extent of these abrupt changes required a reappraisal of climate stability. Records of these changes are especially clear in high-resolution ice cores. Ice cores can preserve histories of local climate (snowfall, temperature), regional (wind-blown dust, sea salt, etc.), and broader (trace gases in the air) conditions, on a common time scale, demonstrating synchrony of climate changes over broad regions. Richard B. Alley (source) The study gives no consideration to the activity on the Sun and how it relates to climate science. As I said, it gives no consideration to much at all except past precipitation figures. This is just another example of the corporate machine at work. Grants are hard to come by these days and it seems that some scientists are happy to miss out large chunks of information to support the government stance on global warmingsorry, climate change. If you notice, governments stopped referring to global warming some considerable time ago; they had to because they knew the planet was not warming, hence, the term climate change was born. This constant re-enforcement that something is happening, when in actual fact it is not, is perpetuated by Western governments to extract green tax payments from businesses and citizens alike. This money, billions and billions of dollars, is supposedly being used to invest in renewable energy systems. Well where are all of these wind farms and tidal batteries and solar arrays? Why does almost all our generated electricity come from an ailing and due to collapse power grid? Climate change is nothing new. It has been happening for millions of years and it will continue until the planet is no more. The Earth is dynamic and ever changing; and climate change is nothing more than part of the nature of the planet.

2	Youll Never Believe The Excuse This Mother Gave For Her Sons Murder Recently, the family of a Chinese man who died after being beaten in an unprovoked attack in New York City, has asked the court to treat the murder as a hate crime. Our whole family is in severe and deep pain, Michelle Ruan, the daughter of victim Wen Hui Ruan, told reporters. The family made the statement just before Jamie Pugh, the accused murderer, was ordered to be held without bail at his arraignment. He is facing murder, assault, and robbery charges. And his case doesnt look good. In fact, the entire attack was captured on surveillance video. Ruan is shown being thrown against a wall and getting kicked repeatedly in the head. Ruan, 68, died at the hospital the day after the attack, after suffering from a fractured skull and face. Although the evidence speaks loud and clear, the mother of the attacker decided to stand up for her son at the hearing, claiming that her son is not like that. Theres significant evidence in this case, Assistant District Attorney Shawn McMahon claimed, in opposition to Pugh-Douglas rebuttal. Not the least of which being the video which was quite frankly one of the most horrific acts Ive ever seen. 
1	Applying an analytical framework dating back to 360 BC, Spurs power forward Tim Duncan used the concept of infinite divisibility Thursday to argue that, in theory, no team could win the NBA championship. Given that an initial field of nonzero size is halved by each round of playoffs, it follows that one may make an arbitrarily large number of such divisions, each time yielding another field of nonzero size, said Duncan, diagramming his arguments in marker on a dry-erase board for his teammates. Imagine, if you will, a basketball approaching a backboard from 8 feet, then 4 feet, then 2 feet, and so on. Now ask: When is the ball halfway there? This is my point: that the ball is always halfway there, and continues to be so. I know this is all very abstract, but you understand what Im saying. The NBA playoffs behave asymptotically, approaching a zero limit but never reaching it. Duncan then asserted that, assuming the dimension of time is similarly divisible, tonights Game 1 tip-off would never occur.

2	Texas Mayor Shuts Down Shariah Court In Heroic Way Not too long ago Irving, Texas made headlines when the media announced that a Shariah court or tribunal would be set up to handle disputes between Muslim parties. Now, the city has made an announcement that sheds new light on the incident. Shariah Law Court was NOT approved or enacted by the City of Irving, claims Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne. Recently, there have been rumors suggesting that the City of Irving has somehow condoned, approved or enacted the implementation of a Shariah Law Court in our City. Let me be clear, neither the City of Irving, our elected officials or city staff have anything to do with the decision of the mosque that has been identified as starting a Shariah Court. The mayor also hinted at her support for legislation to protect against foreign law. Currently, Texas Supreme Court precedent does not allow the application of foreign law that violates public policy, statutory, or federal laws, Mayor Van Duyne wrote on her Facebook page. However, now that this issue has emerged in our community, I am working with our State Representatives on legislation to clarify and strengthen existing prohibition on the application of foreign law in violation of constitutional or statutory rights. What do you think? Do you support Mayor Van Duyne in her stand for American law? 
3	Dorm Room Preppers: The Next Generation of SurvivalismDaisy Luther Its an exciting time, preparing for your child to leave the nest. Your young adult is enthusiastically anticipating the independence that is so near, but you, as a parent, are most likely running scenarios in your head of all of the mishaps that could befall your son or daughter. As a prepper, you want your child to also be prepared for any crisis that might occur when they are out on their own. My lovely eldest daughter has just graduated from high school, and we put together a dorm-room preparedness kit for her college apartment. Following, you can see the list of supplies that we have assembled. Different climates will, of course, require different types of preparedness items. If there is a long term power outage, you want to be sure that your student stays fed and hydrated until you can get them home. Depending on the situation, they may have to shelter in place for a time. Base the length of your supply on the distance from home. Be sure to check the rules of the dormitory and weigh the pros and cons of your solutions for this matter. This will depend upon your student and his or her level of competence and responsibility, and only you can make the correct assessment of the situation. The following recommendations will not be appropriate in all situations: First aid supplies Your child should have a well-stocked first aid kit, including supplies for an illness like the flu. Sanitation During a power outage, particularly in a multi-story building, sanitation could become an issue. (Remember the high-rises in NYC during Hurricane Sandy?) The following supplies can help to keep your student healthy: Miscellaneous supplies Be sure that your student has the following supplies on hand to deal with an emergency such as a power outage or other crisis: OPSEC It is vital to stress the importance of OPSEC (Operational Security), especially in a shared living environment. Your young adult should be very careful about letting others know that he or she possesses self defense items or preparedness supplies. In a small space it can be difficult to keep things hidden, but a great deal of food and water can be shoved under a bed. Self defense items can be stashed in a backpack. Other supplies can be stored in the closet in luggage. Prepper mentality Of course, we all know that the most important prep is your mind. If your son or daughter understands the preparedness mindset, they will be head and shoulders above the rest in a crisis situation. Because my daughter has been raised in a household that values preparedness, she is well-aware of the things that can happen. She understands the mob mentality that can arise during a disaster and she is well-versed in being adaptable, of thinking things through and making a plan. As well, she has learned many things that arent common for your average teenage girl today, like starting fires, cooking from scratch, and outdoor skills. Some great courses for a teenager are: As a family, you should have a plan for different types of emergencies. Will your young adult try to make their way home to you in the event of a crisis or should they shelter in place and wait for you to get to them? Are there special concerns in their particular area that should be planned for, like a nuclear power facility, an earthquake or tornado prone locale, or extreme climate conditions? By having a plan in place before disaster strikes, everyone will be on the same page and the response to the crisis will be automatic, saving valuable time and energy, as well as providing some peace of mind. Time to fly As parents, it is our job to prepare our children for life outside the nest. We have to let go so they can fly. By providing them with a solid base of knowledge, supplies, and advice we can rest assured that they will thrive as the begin their lives as independent adults. Has your junior prepper left the nest? What other suggestions do you have for dorm-room preppers? This article is dedicated to my beautiful daughter. Congratulations on your graduation, your numerous academic awards, and your full scholarshipmay you feel prepared and confident as you take on the future with the same enthusiasm as you have used to conquer the past.I love you and Im so proud of you! ~ Mom Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

2	He Bent Down To Thank God For His Touchdown, But It Cost His Team Dearly [VIDEO] Recently, Fort Myers High School football player Sam Turner made his first touchdown of his high school career. After crossing the end zone, the athlete made the decision to bow down for a moment to thank the Lord. As it turns out, that single action had some dire consequences for his teammates. 16-year-old Turner was given a 15-yard penalty, with the official calling the act unsportsmanlike conduct. I said, thank you, God, for this talent youve blessed me with, Turner told News-Press, also claiming that he took a moment to pray for JoJo Brunson, a fellow student who was killed in a drive-by shooting. Although Turner received the penalty, he was given the support of the community and his teammates. I saw the flag and I was so confused at first. I was like, Are you seriously flagging me right now? What did I do wrong? Turner told reporters at WINK-TV. Eventually the ref came up and talked to me and said I was trying to bring attention to myself and I was trying to explain to him that that wasnt the case at all. I wasnt trying to bring attention to myself I was just trying to thank God. What do you think? Should Turner have been punished for his actions? 
1	Saying that he would be open to giving a relationship with the Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence a shot, local man Alex Robard, 31, told reporters Monday that despite any preconceptions he might have formed about the Hollywood star, he certainly considers himself broad-minded enough to try looking beyond her flaws. Look, shes not perfect, but neither am I, so all things considered, Id be inclined to test it out and give the two of us a chance, said the sales associate, who went on to add that, while he couldnt make any guarantees, if he were to ever go on a date with the 23-year-old A-lister, he would make a concerted effort to resist forming snap judgments based on any potential faults, personal weaknesses, or off-putting personality traits that the celebrity might possess. You have to be willing to accept people as they are. Yes, Jennifers a little loud, a little wacky and in-your-face, but I think, personally, I could get past that. Datings all about keeping an open mind. Robard added that he hoped Lawrence wasnt particularly religious, because that would, unfortunately, be a deal-breaker for him. 
3	12 Factors That Are Turning The Streets Of America Into A Living HellMichael Snyder, Contributor The following are 12 factors that are turning the streets of America into a living hell. #1 Out Of Control Gang Violence The United States has the highest rate of illegal drug use in the entire world. This makes it easy for gangs to make money and to grow. How would you feel if you were outnumbered 500 to 1? One of the Gang Enforcement Unit officers describedto CBS News what gang activity in Chicago is like these days. Sgt. Little is a decorated veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. He said that parts of Chicago are comparable to what he saw in combat. Its tribal warfare, he said, and as it continues to build unless we manage to interdict it, and manage to stop it long enough for the blood to stop boiling, the heat to die down. You can see a video news report about gang violence in Chicago that contains this quote right here. Overall, the FBI estimates that the number of gang members in the United States has increased by 40 percent since 2009 and that there are now a total of1.4 million gang members living in America. Has your community been taken over by gangs yet? At this rate, they will take over all of our communities eventually. #2 Naked Criminals Going Crazy Lately, we have seen a rash of truly bizarre drug-fueled crimes all over the United States. Of course most of us have heard about all of the zombie attacks that happened all over the country recently that involved criminals attacking and trying to eat their victims. But now another trend seems to be emerging. Now, a lot of these drug-fueled crimes are being committed by people that are completely and totally naked. This first example comes from down in Florida. A naked man allegedly flew into a violent rampage, biting a chunk out of another mans stomach after leaping from his roof onto a truck and urinating inside his home. Officers responding to the scene needed backup to restrain Jeremiah Aaron Haughee with leg shackles, a spit hood and handcuffs after he continued fighting despite being Tasered five times. Police first arrived at the home in Flagler Beach, Florida at 4.30 a.m. to find two men restraining the naked 22-year-old in a puddle of urine and glass. Another crazy naked criminal incident happened recently at a hotel in California. A naked man who may have been on drugs was arrested Saturday for killing a Tracy motel employee. Andrew Carreiro, 25, is behind bars accused of killing the 62-year-old woman who cleans rooms at the Hacienda Inn on the 600 block of West 11th Street. Witnesses say they found Carreiro covered in blood and standing near the partially naked body of the woman, say witnesses. [Its] most definitely the craziest thing Ive seen in my life, most definitely, said Jermaine Haynes, a motel resident who made the gruesome discovery. Why are we seeing so much bizarre behavior all over the nation these days? Can anyone explain this? #3 Jersey Shore In Real Life America loves to party. In a nation where even Secret Service agents party like rock stars, it shouldnt be surprising that partying is getting out of control in communities all over the country. Over in New Jersey, one borough was forced recently to amend its public-urination ordinance to include defecation because there has been such a problem with public drunkenness. Some people watch MTVs Jersey Shore and they assume that stuff like that simply does not happen in real life. But it does happen in real life. In fact, some New Jersey towns along the coast are being invaded by hordes of people that want to live the Jersey Shore lifestyle and the results have been absolutely nightmarish. The following is from a recent Bloomberg article. For Dave Cavagnaro, life as a full- time resident along the New Jersey shore came with small headaches he expected: scant weekend parking, congestion and the occasional piece of litter. Nothing prepared him for what is going on these days in his hometown of Point Pleasant Beach, about 90 minutes by car from Manhattan. Public urination. Beer bottles tossed on his lawn. Screaming crowds pouring onto his street after the 2 a.m. bar closing. Hes even caught a couple having sex against the side of his house. #4 Horrifying Abuse Of Children America is a world leader in the abuse of children. Sadly, there are more than 3 million reports of child abuse in the United States every single year. Much of this abuse is sexual. What goes on behind many closed doors all over America is so sick that it is hard to find words to even describe how horrible it is. In the United States today, it is estimated that one out of every four girls is sexually abused before they become adults. How did we sink so low as a nation? In this country we are also very physically violent with our children. One man up in Wisconsin recently brutally murdered his three young daughters right inside the home of his ex-wife. Unfortunately, that was not an isolated incident. In fact, the United States has the highest child abuse death rate on the entire globe. So what is causing all of this child abuse? Well, the explosion of pornography on the Internet is certainly not helping matters. Law enforcement officials estimate that about 600,000 Americans and about 65,000 Canadians are involved in trading dirty child pictures on the Internet. And in a country filled with men that have dirty mindsthe following kind of thing can happen. Texas authorities said Tuesday they removed 11 children from a crowded home where a registered sex offender lives after they found eight confined in a small, dark bedroom with restraints tying some to their beds. Along with the children, 10 adults were living in the one-story, 1,700-square-foot home in Dayton, about 30 miles northeast of Houston, Child Protective Services spokeswoman Gwen Carter said. One month after a raid on the house, authorities are still trying to determine how the children are related and why they were there, she said. Yes, life in many of our communities is actually turning into a living hell. #5 Nightmarish Abuse Of Wives And Girlfriends Children are not the only ones being abused. All over the United States there is an epidemic of abuse against wives and girlfriends as well. For example, it was recently reported that one West Virginia man kept his wife chained up for nearly 10 years and treated her like a slave. And even our politicians get into the act when it comes to domestic abuse. The following is what Massachusetts State Representative Carlos Henriquez is accused of doing to his girlfriend. Gonzalves told police that Henriquez came to her mothers home around 2 a.m. and picked her up, telling her that he wanted to discuss their relationship. She said the conversation turned tense, and that Henriquez spent the next two hours driving around downtown Boston, and along Storrow Drive and into the Fenway neighborhood assaulting her and refusing to let her out of his car. Ms. Gonzalves stated that Mr. Henriquez had punched her with a closed fist repeatedly and strangled her while she was in his motor vehicle, police wrote in the report. Ms. Gonzalves stated that every time she attempted to jump out of the car the suspect (Henriquez) grabbed her wrists to prevent her from jumping out of the motor vehicle. #6 An Epidemic Of Sexual Predators In America today you arent just in danger of being abused in your own home. The truth is that there are millions of sexual predators out there waiting to pounce on you and your children. Unfortunately, you never know who to trust these days. Someone like Jerry Sandusky can seem very respectable, but it turns out that he was an absolute monster and his crimes against children went unreported for years and years. Sadly, the truth is that there are hordes of Jerry Sanduskys out there. If you can believe it, it is estimated that 500,000 Americans that will be born this year will be sexually abused before they turn 18. Yes, there have always been sexual predators in America, but these days they seem to be multiplying. You never know where one is going to pop up. For example, just check out what happened at a Wal-Mart down in Georgia recently. A man posing as a representative of the Americas Funniest Home Videos TV show tricked an 18-year-old Georgia woman into allowing him to suck her toe inside a Walmart in Georgia, police report. According to a Columbia County Sheriffs Office report, the teen was shopping Tuesday evening when approached by the middle-aged suspect, who cops have identified as Joey Leaphart, a 43-year-old registered sex offender whose rap sheet is littered with foot-related crimes. But that teen got off easy. Other sexual predators will kill you once they are done with you. A recent Daily Mail article detailed a nightmarish incident which took place in North Dakota. Two crack-fueled predators abducted and brutally murdered a 43-year-old math teacher named Sherry Arnold. Spell and Waters had left Colorado days before the crime claiming they wanted work in eastern Montana and western North Dakotas oil fields. After smoking crack cocaine over the entire trip, Waters allegedly told Spell the drug brought the devil out in him and began talking about kidnapping and killing a female, AP reports. After they spotted Arnold, Spell claims that Waters told him to grab the lady and pull her into their Ford Explorer as she jogged by. Once they got her into the Ford Explorer, they choked the life out of her and then buried her body in a shallow grave in North Dakota. Many of these crimes are completely and totally senseless. But they keep on happening with increasing frequency. Sexual predators have become so common on Facebook that Facebook is actually using software to track suspicious behavior and keywords. So what happens if the software finds something? A recent article by Paul Joseph Watson described what comes next. Words or phrases considered vulgar or an attempt to exchange personal information are red flagged and brought to the attention of Facebook employees, who then decide whether the content is worthy of being brought to the attention of law enforcement. #7 Horrifying Abuse Of Animals Is it just me, or does it seem like the abuse of animals is reaching horrifying new levels? The way we treat our animals says a lot about where we are as a society. And right now, our treatment of animals says that we are very sick. For example, one man down in Florida has been charged withbiting the lips off of a kitten. In Waco, Texas police say that a 22-year-old man recently strangled and ate the family dog while he was high on drugs. Down in Arizona, authorities recently removed dozens of cats from the home of an elderly woman. This was the third time that they had removed cats from her home. This time they discovered that she had 64 cats living in her house. In the past, authorities say that the elderly woman would make a feline stew concoction with any of the cats that ended up dying. #8 Rampant Theft All Over The United States As the economy has crumbled and unemployment has soared, millions of Americans have started to become very desperate. All over America we are starting to see desperate criminals steal anything that they think that they can sell for money. For example, down in Bristol, Tennessee authorities say that there has been an epidemic of lawn equipment theft lately. Over in California, criminals will even steal the goldright out of your mouth. Robbers targeted a 17-year-old who had his grill of gold mouth jewelry taken in South Sacramento. The Sheriffs Department said three men, at least one armed with a gun, beat the teen who was sitting in a car early Sunday morning. Besides taking cash, they took his gold grill, the mouth jewelry worn by many hip-hop fans. With robbers going wild, stealing gold chains from victims in Stockton, it stands to reason that a grill would be stolen. An average set covering the upper and lower teeth can cost between $600 and $1,600. More if they are embedded with diamonds. Down in Fresno, California thieves are stealing so much copper wire from city street lights that it is costing the city about $50,000 a month. So far, approximately 2,500 street lights have been stripped of their wiring by thieves. #9 Americas Meth Epidemic As mentioned earlier, America has the biggest drug problem in the world and one of Americas favorite drugs is meth. According to PBS, there are approximately 1.4 million meth users in the United States right now. Meth can destroy your life faster than just about any other drug. If you doubt this, just check out thesebefore and after pictures. Unfortunately, there are lots of signs that meth use is rising again. According to the DEA, meth seizures increased from2,839 in 2007 to 6,168 in 2010. That is very, very bad news. When people become meth addicts they do absolutely crazy things. The following examples are from a recent USA Today article. A mother in Bakersfield, California, was sentenced Tuesday for stabbing her newborn while in a meth rage. An Oklahoma woman drowned her baby in a washing machine in November. A New Mexico woman claiming to be God stabbed her son with a screwdriver last month, saying, God wants him dead. And meth is so addictive that addicts will do just about anything to get more of it. One woman in St. Louis was recently charged with cooking meth inside her purse while she was inside a Wal-Mart store. When an addict wants more meth, not much else really matters at that point. #10 Mob Robberies Groups of young people are banding together in flash mobs and are robbing retail stores all over the country. During a mob robbery, dozens of people will storm into a store and grab whatever they want and then storm right back out. The following is one recent example that happened in Baltimore. They went in, they started going everywhere in the store, grabbing things and then they just run out. And I knew that they didnt buy it because they just run out, Kendra Mellerson said. They ran that way and they ran that way. And the guy was trying to come out and stop them but they couldnt because there was so many. After some kids ran away, a store manager blocked the door to keep the rest of the kids from leaving. But those kids got so mad that the door was blocked, they started punching the store manager. Yes, they really started hitting that guy and he couldnt keep getting beat on so he eventually let them out. And then they just ran, Mellerson said. Mob robberies are kind of like shoplifting on steroids. You can see video of one very disturbing mob robbery that happened over in Detroit recently right here. When we start to see groups of young people banding together to commit crimes like this that is a sign that our society has decayed really, really badly. #11 Police Are Becoming More Corrupt And More Abusive When bad things do happen, most people respond by calling the police. That is who we are supposed to call, right? Unfortunately, it appears that the police in America have become more corrupt and more abusive than ever. Up in Seattle, police recently tasered a pregnant woman three times after she refused to sign a ticket for a traffic violation. Who would do such a thing to a pregnant woman? That little baby could have been easily killed. Down in Georgia, one police officer recently kicked a woman who was nine months pregnant directly in the stomach. Amazingly, his superiors in the local police department defended his actions. If that is how police will treat pregnant women, then how are they going to treat you? Sadly, police all over the country continue to get caught breaking the very laws that they are supposed to be enforcing. For example, just check out what one police officer has been charged with doing in Philadelphia. A Philadelphia cop was arrested over allegations that he abducted a 14-year-old girl, sexually assaulted her and made her watch him have sex with a prostitute. Police found Anthony Dattilo, 36, at a motel in the Bensalem area of the city Wednesday while responding to a possible abduction, according to the Bucks County Courier Times. Dattilo, a 12-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, is reportedly in custody at the Bucks County prison on $500,000 bail. #12 Human Trafficking Human trafficking is big business. It is a 32 billion dollar industry worldwide, and it is an industry that is rapidly growing in America. Most of those that are abducted and forced into sex slavery are women. A very large percentage of them are under 18 years of age. This is one reason why it is a really, really, really bad idea for girls to run away from home. All over America tonight, pimps will force young girls to have sex with strange men at hotels, truck stops and in back alleys. The following is what one CNN reporter witnessed at a truck stop down in North Carolina recently. The woman sports baggy shorts, a white T-shirt and frizzy hair. Her fat middle-aged pimp sits in a beat up red Honda, watching as his lot lizard moves from truck to truck, in broad daylight. If this pimp has a cane it is for substance, not style. She moves through the parking lot, occasionally opening a cabs passenger-side door and climbing in. The trucker and hooker disappear in the back for 10 minutes. Danielle Mitchell watches from the other end of the parking lot and shakes her head. We know from talking to other victims and other agencies that girls are taken to truck stops and theyre actually traded, she says, sitting in her car, a shiny silver sport utility vehicle, keeping a healthy 50-yard distance from the pimp. Sadly, this is rapidly becoming an out of control epidemic in the United States. According to the Daily Mail, the FBI recently rescued 79 sex slaves all across America in just one three day period. The FBI has rescued 79 teens held against their will and forced into prostitution from hotels, truck stops and stores during a three-day swoop on sex-trafficking rings across the country. The sex slaves were aged between 13 and 17, although one said she had been involved in prostitution since she was just 11, authorities said. During the sting operations across 57 U.S. cities including Atlanta, Sacramento and Toledo, Ohio 104 alleged pimps were arrested. Unfortunately, getting those 79 sex slaves off the street barely made a dent in the overall problem. America is very sick, and our cities continue to get even worse with each passing day. You can find even more evidence that our society is collapsing right here. This article is already over 3000 words long, and I feel as though I have barely scratched the surface. Sadly, most Americans dont think about these kinds of things very much. Instead, most of them spend their time obsessed with entertainment and celebrities and other things that dont mean a whole lot in the long run. That is why the fact that Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are leaving American Idol is causing so much trauma all over America right now. Our priorities are seriously messed up. So what do all of you think? Are the streets of America turning into a living hell? This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

1	According to a study published this week in the Journal Of Contemporary Ethnography, scientists at the University of Chicago have established a definitive link between how promptly an individual responds to emails and how pathetic that person is as a human being. Our research shows that, without exception, only the saddest and most pitiable individuals will reply to a new message in their inbox within moments of receiving it, whereas those who respond after an extended periodoftentimes up to multiple daysare invariably more socially adept, confident people, said sociologist Daniel Moran, confirming that the length of time that passed between receiving a given work or personal email and sending a reply was directly correlated to the level of excitement, diversity, and fulfillment in that persons life. By simply noting how quickly it takes an acquaintance or colleague to respond to ones online correspondence, email users can accurately assess what kind of person they're dealing with. And it goes without saying that those people who respond immediately to emails can safely be written off as miserable losers who are sadly hanging on every little message that gets sent their way. Moran also added that the frequency with which one checked or refreshed their email account corresponded precisely to how empty that person felt inside. 
2	You Wont Believe How Porn Star Jenna Jameson TRASHES Obama While Supporting THIS Republican Jenna Jameson gives her insight into the presidential candidates. Former adult entertainer turned business mogul, Jenna Jameson, gave her endorsement to the candidate she called the clear choice for president. In a tweet Sunday, Jameson put her support behind Sen. Marco Rubio, which might have come as a surprise to some who dont follow the brainy beauty on Twitter and arent aware that she is an outspoken conservative. The star has never tried to hide her political views and recently has gained both praise and criticism for her staunch support of Israel. The news of her support of Rubio was no different with some liberals taking shots at the star. Jameson even gave one liberal, who didnt take the news so well, an epic two-word smack down.

3	Yay! We Get a Six-Week Extension on Paying Our Obamacare Fines!Melissa Melton Have no fear, America; the government has graciously announced we will get a six-week extension on paying our Obamacare penalties if we do not sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act or find some other insurance that meets criteria within the time period stipulated. The Department of Health and Human Services is giving us six more weeks after March 31st to buy our insurance through the government and the complete box of fail that is Healthcare.gov. for now, this fiasco will cost each and every American out of pocket cash money. Relatively low, the amount of the fine for 2014 is 1% of your annual income or $95 per person, whichever is higher. This may not seem like much, but if you earn a $20,000 salary, a $200 bill is in many cases not affordable. The fine for uninsured children is $47.50 per child with a family cap of $285 (the government half dozen deal?). After 2014, things get increasingly worse. In just two years, 2016, the fine is estimated to reach $695 per person or 2.5% of your annual income, yikes! Remember paying the fine is not health insurance. (source) And remember, paying the fines will be cheaper for both businesses and most individuals than buying the actual insurance. So businesses wont be forced to insure employees or any wishful thinking positive spin like that they will only be forced to pay a brand spanking new fine to the government to continue not to insure their employees. Same for everyone else. Paying the fine will be cheaper than buying the insurance. Thats why stories abound of companies dropping or downgrading their employee insurance in favor of paying the government fines instead. Dont like allopathic medicine? Dont take pharmaceuticals? Favor homeopathic and alternative cures to Big Pharma? Better get used to paying a yearly fine to the government, too. After all, it shouldnt be up to the people how they want to handle their own treatments, and no one knows how to handle your health decisions better than a government that cant even build a website.

1	Overcrowding remains an enormous problem at Yellowstone National Parking Lot, officials reported Monday. A car emerges from the crowded national parking lot. 'We're stacking hover-cars on top of solar-powered aerocars, and they just keep on coming,' parking ranger Neil Reigert said. 'Yellowstone is a national parking treasure. People leave their vehicles here when they're taking public teleportation to family-vacation spots like Kidz Vegas or the District of Disney World. But, unless we do something soon, we're going to have to start turning short-term parkers away. There are simply more vehicles than there are spaces.' Added Reigert: 'We want everyone to be able to enjoy our national parking facilities, but we need to think about long-term parking needs, too.' The Yellowstone Lot was built in 2043 to ease parking problems at Yellowstone West Airport. Its 3,472 square miles of unpaved land were a welcome boon for those who had yet to discover the joys of inexpensive, federally protected parking. 'Vehicle enthusiasts drive for days just to park here,' Reigert said. 'The entire lot is warmed using geo-thermal energy, so there's never any ice on the ramps. It truly is a man-made wonder to behold.' Reigert identified the Old Faithful bathroom facility, which makes use of the famous geyser to flush the urinals every 52 minutes, as a popular attraction among visitors to the world's largest rest stop. He went on to explain that facility directors were forced to pipe steam in from several less-reliable geysers in 2051, when the yearly increase in bathroom traffic rendered Old Faithful an inadequate basin-cleanser. 'I don't think the engineers had this many people in mind when they designed the restrooms,' Reigert said. 'I'm surprised it held up as long as it did. It's amazing how long you can avoid massive repairs by slapping carbon monofilament tape on the pipes.' Reigert said understaffing is another problem at the lot. 'Keep in mind that Yellowstone Lot is bigger than the nations of Rhode Island and Delaware combined,' Reigert said. 'It's divided into four large quadrants. The Tower Falls and Mammoth Hot Springs sections are the largest, and they're divided into subsections, like the Bighorn Sheep and Black Bear sublots. People find the realistic statues of their parking-section animals invaluable for locating their aerocars.' Reigert said the park employs thousands of full-time rangers who help customers find their vehicles, but more are needed. 'Last month, a business parker was lost in the North Field lot for three days, just wandering in circles, sleeping under aerocars, and foraging for food in the garbage cans,' Reigert said. 'If he hadn't stumbled across an unlocked Buick with a gallon of bottled water in its trunk, I don't believe he would have survived. We need more staff, but that requires more federal funds.' Reigert added: 'Unfortunately, with a Democrat in the White House, I don't see car-park budgets skyrocketing anytime soon.' Decreased funding is not a problem unique to the Yellowstone Lot. The Everglades docking facility, the Black Hills underground mall, and the Carlsbad Cafeteria report that they have felt the effects of recent belt-tightening, as well. 'You see, if we truly wish to repave a beautiful thing like this parking lot, we can't just hope for the best,' Reigert said. 'We need to have a good plan and the proper funds, so that every American can have a chance to park his car here. After all, it's part of our national heritage.' 
3	Proof in 3 Minutes That Obamas Fainting Lady was Stagedselfnews Post This follows a great video showing how the same tactic of helping a fainting crowd member to appear compassionate and in control has been used over and over with the politician always using the same script. Watch that video below: 
1	Pope Benedict XVI returned to Rome today following a historic, three-day trip to Six Flags St. Louis, the first official papal visit to a major American theme park since Pope Paul VI's Thanksgiving Mass at Wet 'n Wild in August 1966. Pope Benedict XVI returns from a 'fucking awesome' trip on the XCalibur. As the park opened its doors to the general public last Friday, the pope emerged from the last car of the Foghorn Leghorn National Park Railway to greet the throngs of people who had assembled hours earlier for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to pay their respects to the blessed pontiff and to vie for a seat on Superman Tower of Power, a popular free-fall ride. The pope began his visit with a brief sermon delivered from the balcony of the Old Glory Amphitheatre, and blessed the park's many concession-stand workers who 'provide sustenance for our brethren seeking to beat the heat.' 'My friends in Christ, as we stand together today among this unusually large weekday crowd, I urge you and your children to exercise the twin virtues of faith and patience, for unto those who wait will come great rewards and monstrous thrills,' the pontiff told those in line for the Screamin' Eagle roller coaster. The pope was honored in a special ceremony outside the Warner Bros. Backlot, in which he was presented with a complimentary season pass, good for free entry at any Six Flags or Hurricane Harbor until August 31. 'I am pleased to announce to His Holiness, the Vicar of Christ, Pope Benedict XVI, that from this day forward, June 9 will forever be known as Pope Day at Six Flags St. Louis,' said Shazam! ride-operator Gary Moynihan as he lowered the safety bar over the pope's lap and locked it into place. 'Now, prepare to be scrambled!' The pope took an aerial tour via Sky Tram to Goodtimes Square later on Friday, where he was greeted by Six Flags dignitaries Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, and the Tasmanian Devil. The trio of characters went on to sign an apostolic exhortation on the role of bishops, a Vatican concordat with Six Flags St. Louis, and the pope's personal autograph book. The pontiff also posed for an official portrait by celebrated Six Flags caricature artist Trevor Doogan. The work depicted Benedict in his robes, mitre, and Rollerblades. The pope also celebrated a special midday Mass, in which the capacity-plus crowds received communion and cotton candy. The pope joins a Six Flags ambassador on a tour of the grounds. Early Saturday morning, Benedict delivered a children's prayer in Looney Tunes Town, in which he urged 'courage, resolve, and strength of stomach when you come face to face with the temptation of XCalibur,' and stressed that they should all 'honor thy mother and father, who paid the ultimate price for your $45 day pass.' 'If you are a child over 54 inches tall, your covenant with fun compels you to check out Batman the Ride,' the pope added. On the third day of the papal visit, bystanders witnessed what some called a minor miracle when Benedict reunited a lost four-year-old boy with his parents. 'Today, a young wayward sheep has strayed from his flock, 'the pope announced over the park's P.A. system. 'But by the grace of God, he has been found safe and unharmed, and can be picked up at Porky's Pavilion.' According to Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls, Benedict accomplished everything he set out to do during the three days, with the exception of a much-anticipated visit to Colossus, the 18-story Ferris wheel, which the Holy Father canceled at the last moment for unspecified reasons. 'This is truly a special part of the world, and my time at Six Flags brought me closer to Godparticularly when I was suspended in midair at the peak of Mr. Freeze,' said the pope, his hair tousled, his face and the back of his neck severely sunburned, and his long, flowing robes soaked with water from the Big Kahuna raft ride. 'But there is still much more to be done, and I have a feeling that God will call me here again very soon.'

While on air, the celebrity chef who has been through some hard times decided to talk about the direction her life has been going right now. She even shared some of her recipes with hosts and viewers. 15 months outside of the day when the scandal involving Deen broke out, she seems to be in better spirits than she has in a while. She talked to Matt Lauer, who has spoken out in support of Deen throughout the public backlash. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Paula Deen? 
2	Woman Interrupts Muslim Capital Day: Islam Will Never Dominate The US [VIDEO] Recently, during the annual Texas Muslim Capitol Day in Austin, a Christian protester made quite the statement when she decided to grab the microphone. The false prophet Muhammad! the woman yells into the microphone. Islam will never dominate the United States and by the grace of God it will not dominate Texas, the woman continues, according to reports. The womans message was short and sweet, but she was taken away by authorities shortly thereafter. What do you think of her message to Muslims? 
1	Intelligence officials said Tuesday that al-Qaeda is recruiting a new generation of suicide bombers with assurances that martyrs will be rewarded in the afterlife with a halfway decent job, benefits, and a 401(k) plan. While al-Qaeda has long reached out to disenfranchised young men with guarantees of a heaven filled with sensual delights, sources said new enticements such as a 40-hour work week and a $37,000 starting salary with annual cost of living adjustments, make blowing one's self up in a crowded marketplace significantly more appealing to the many chronically unemployed individuals in the Muslim world. Sources confirmed that suicide bombers are also being promised a lavish otherworldly paradise where braces for their children are covered up to $2,000 or 80 percent of the total cost by dental insurance. 'The strategy is to make these young men believe that the rewards of heaven outweigh the prospects of life on Earth,' senior intelligence official Nathan Lowell said. 'So you can imagine how effective it would be to promise an individual living in squalor that Allah will provide a glorious hereafter, one with gainful employment, room for advancement, and a nice little tuition reimbursement policy.' 'By 2014, we believe al-Qaeda's new approach will be drawing hundreds of thousands of young men willing to annihilate themselves for the glory of God if it helps them get health coverage,' Lowell added. Al-Qaeda has also reportedly told recruits that the bombers responsible for last month's suicide strike in a Baghdad bazaar were immediately transported to a 'nice little two- bedroom setup' in the afterlife where they are already making enough money programming computers part-time to eventually be able to open their own catering business. 'Thus far the martyrdom initiative has been very successful,' security analyst David Ellsbury said. 'Many are showing up at radical madrassas eager to learn more information about heaven's pension program.' 'The promise of a decent parking spot alone lures about 10 potential suicide attackers per month,' Ellsbury continued. A recently authenticated video broadcast on Al Jazeera last Thursday shows Osama bin Laden at a table in an undisclosed location explaining the afterworld's generous paid time-off policy, which he said permits 'all lions of jihad who exalt Islam with their blood' to cash in a certain number of unused vacation days at the end of each year if they so choose. Later in the video, bin Laden exalts Allah's willingness to help pay for a portion of all afterlife gym memberships, which bin Laden called a 'pretty good deal.' Ahmad Ali, who is among the 35 percent of unemployed citizens in Yemen, told reporters that he was reluctant to consider the offer made by the al-Qaeda representative in his hometown, but said he might have no other choice if he wanted to get ahead. 'Honestly, blowing myself up looks like the best way for me to earn a steady paycheck right now,' said Ali, 32, a former taxi driver who has not worked in almost three years and who has never earned more than $2 a day. 'I just want a chance to have a decent job and maybe own a house with a lawn. And I think stuffing a bunch of explosives in the trunk of my cab and murdering a group of police cadets is probably the best way to go about it.' 'I'm really not crazy about killing myself and a bunch of other people,' Ali added. 'But if it means a job with flextime that allows me to work from home one day a week, I can't pass that up. I've got kids to think about.' 
3	13 Year Old Invents Tesla Inspired Free Energy Device For Under $15By Terrence Newton As cheesy as this sounds, from day one, on this planet that I knew I was put here for a reason, said Max. And that reason is to invent, to bring the future. [Source] Wearing a lab coat while speaking in a televised interview with KTVN Channel 2 in Reno and Tahoe, Nevada, Max explains the free energy device that he made in his parents boiler roomturned laboratory. His invention looks somewhat reminiscent of Tesla coil, and operates on some of the same principles described by the electric visionary. The device is rather simple, harvesting electromagnetic energy from the atmosphere, then converting it to direct current which can be used to power electrical devices. Whats even more incredible is that Max built his free energy device out of materials he purchased for less than $15. Thats right, for the price of an average lunch, it appears that anyone can have access to free energy. He created an electro magnetic harvester out of a coffee can, some wire, two coils, and a spoon. [Source] In a demonstration with KTVN, Max uses current created by the machine to power a strip of LED lights that he had wrapped around his twin brother, astonishing to both his own family and the visiting news crew. The harvester conducts radio waves, thermal, and static energy, and turns it into electricity. This wire takes energy from the air. And the inside the coffee can, We turn it from AC to DC. [Source] Maxs achievement is impressive, to say the least, and the fact that works of Nikola Tesla are now inspiring the next generation of inventors is quite inspiring, although one has to wonder why Teslas ideas have taken some 75 years to reach the mainstream. The big message here again, though, is that free energy technologies are real, so why is the world still dependent on fossil fuels and extraction-based methods of energy production that are destroying our planet? Why cant we have clean-running automobiles that are powered with ambient energy and produce zero emissions? The suppression of free energy devices and technology by the energy industry and by the government is an established fact of our world. Using many techniques and programs to suppress ideas and inventions like Maxs is finally coming to an end, however, in the information age. Now anyone can participate in the energy revolution. My true goal is to help. It is to invent a future where people can be happy, where they can be safe and sound. Max Loughan Check out Maxs interview with KTVN here, and please share this inspiring story far and wide to help break the silence on the possibility of clean and free energy. Our future depends on it. Terence Newtonis a staff writer forWakingTimes.com, interested primarily with issues related to science, the human mind, and human consciousness.

Way to go kid! :)..Its no wonder when Tesla died the government rushed into his hotel room and seized all of his papers. Corruption, control, dominance, greed..and all other pertaining words. This one I will share. Watch your back, kid! That was my first thought, too. How sad is that? Yeah. Have you ever seen the film, The Water Engine w/ William Macy? Actually this was my second thought before I had watched the whole video and ingested the whole thing in full. My first thought was, Well, good luck kid. I guess Ill see you on YouTube some day with all the cranks who claim theyve invented perpetual motion, etc. I think these days just controlling the media exposure is as good a way as any to keep us all deprived of our better futures. Havent seen the movie but I know what its about. It benefits the petro-zillionaires to have us all believe that everything not running on some type of consumable energy is a hoax. Maybe thats why they chemtrail the skies with coal ash so solar power goes the way of the steam engine. wow that never enter my head, I have always thought they were hiding somethingmaybe incomingbut to block it from the sun to prevent solar powerthose evil do-ers!!! With the controllers, there are always numerous benefits to any action. Incoming money is the prime one, but there are always non-financial benefits to them as well. I can think of at least ten benefits (to them) to cover the planet in coal ash: disperse pesky contaminants, test out vaccines, control the weather, sell weather futures, and of course hide something incoming (or outgoing.) Even with all their diabolical BS , never succumb to the belief that someones $15 invention cant change the world. Steve Jobs comes to mind. Publish the plans on the internet before the gov locks you in a room and tortures then suicides youseriously I am not trying to be funny. Hes not the only one. in a few years the Government along with the sick satanic Corporations will ridicule this kid calling it a hoax fantasy just because they wanna keep their Actually the next financial collapse is going to wipe out alot of wealth around the world. Entire industries are going to collapse overnight. All of the suppressed technologies will start to emerge so this kid has a pretty good shot I think. Just maybe pick up some physical gold and silver to help you get through the collapse since they money in your bank account will be gone. Good idea.. The geniuses at Lawrence Livermore Labs are busy spending billions of dollars on cold fusion while this kid demonstrates free energy for under $15. Is anybody else out there feeling like they have been cheated? Exactly.!! but hes not the only one. in a few years the Government along with the sick satanic Corporations will ridicule this kid calling it a hoax fantasy just because they wanna keep their deceptive billion dollar infrastructure functioning so sad.!! The kid built a crystal radio. Theyve been around for hundreds of years. Boy scouts literally learn how to build these. The experiment seems reminiscent of the work of Thomas Henry Moray. Its the same setup as the old am boy scout radio kit, except an oatmeal box was used instead of a coffee can. It was always known that you could get millivolts out of it (thats how the earphone worked), but this kid is getting a bit more than that. I wonder how many milli-amps he was able to produce. Yeah, I wonder how much energy the thing would collect over the course of a day. His personal goals are in direct conflict with the people who control the current energy markets. Unfortunately he will probably discover this as he gets older. Kudos to the young man. But seriously, with all the wifry, smart meters and cellphones polluting the atmoshpere, this is no longer a difficult thing to do. Especially when its only powering some leds. I knew I was put here for a reason. So this scientific mind believes in predestination? At one point, he mentions AC. That right there tells me that hes only got an antenna set up to capture broadcast energy from various sources, such as TV, radio, cell towers, power lines, and house wiring. Id like to see him put a frequency meter in front of the diode array, and show us just what it is that hes rectifying into usable DC. Dont feel bad. Lots of people have been duped by people less intelligent than this kid. In order for an antenna of that size to collect enough energy to power a string of LEDS without first storing it for hours, it would have to be located in a powerful alternating magnetic field , the kind you find in transformers. There is not that much energy floating around your back yard. Terrence Newton, dont report on physics and engineering if you dont know anything about physics or engineering. The kid built a crystal radio. Its been done countless times and is essentially the equivalent of a baking soda volcano. Boy scouts build them. Theyve been around literally since the invention of radio towers. Edit: This comments section is shameful. I feel like Im taking crazy pills, just because I happen to have an education in physics. Apparently intelligence is a rare commodity around these parts. 
1	Despite strong evidence to the contrary on television sitcoms and in USA Today, a Northwestern University report released Monday claims that some Americans do not work in office settings. 'The non-office-employed worker, long thought to be a fanciful creation from the realm of business fiction, may actually exist and walk among us,' said Tim Irving, professor at Northwestern's Kellogg Business School. 'Many offices, for instance, receive materials from outside, such as mail and food. While these items are undoubtedly produced in other offices, the people who bring them from one office to another do not necessarily appear to have an office of their own.' It has been further theorized that, given the existence of jobs outside offices, workers may exist who do not wear business suits. 
2	The United States Police Just Took A MASSIVE Stand Against Obama Well, Obama appears to still be on his streak of bashing American law enforcement, and he seems to have little to no intention of speaking out against violent race-baiters. Now, the president of the National Sheriffs Association (NSA) is speaking out against the president and his administration, attacking them for refusing to take a stand against the murders of police officers and the quickly escalating violence against law enforcement. Across the country we are seeing a lot of violence directed at law enforcement and quite frankly what we dont see is this administration stepping up front of it and saying enough is enough, Glick told reporters. This admin cant take the time to make this a priority announcement and let it stand on its own rather than dilute it with something else, thats unacceptable, he concluded. This is law enforcement, this is our communitys people that are being killed because of these acts and we cant get a condemnation from the President of the United Statesit is sad. Glick went on to claim that it is time for our nation to take action in support of our officers, before there are more deaths. 
3	States Vote to Ban UN Agenda 21 PoliciesSusanne Posel, Contributor This legislation will prevent local, county and state governments from adopting the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) programs. ICLEI is a UN agency that provides local community plans, software and training to towns and cities that pay their dues. Other private organizations in league with ICLEI are: National League of Cities I know it is totally against our Constitution from reading the U.N. biodiversity assessment, Rep. Anne Cartwright (R-Alstead), the primary sponsor of the bill. Its through local initiative that it is being implemented in bits and pieces to erode our property rights.Cartwright believes ICLEI is attempting to remove individual property rights through sustainable development. Cartwright said: They are very slowly implementing rules and regulations that have not reached a high level yet. They are implementing it through zoning, planning and regional planning things that impact our property rights. Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the UN, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human beings impact the environment. The Agenda 21 plan is to assist in social and economic issues by providing maintained healthcare and vaccinations, implement controls on how to govern the populous and make decisions for the people of the world through actions taken by the UN. Their plans are to focus on the global impact of use of land, education and depopulation through control measures. Through the elimination of personal property rights, private education (including homeschooled children) and eugenics (forced sterility), the globalization of the planet can be achieved. The UN plans to take over conservation and management of resources for their developmental purposes. By abolishing personal property rights, the demise of rural area living, removal of personal ownership of natural resources, they will take away the power away from individuals are place it firmly in the hands of governments who have agreed to these controls. Financial independence will be eliminated because dependence on the government keeps the population under its grip. Through monitoring energy usage, behaviors, big brother style controls, and re-education (brainwashing with propaganda); as well as restricting local governments by installing their own leaders voted into office by a coerced consensus. America 2050,an organization sponsored by the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, lists 11 megaregions in the United States and Canada. A megaregion is typically defined as a chain of roughly adjacent metropolitan areas. The concept is based on the original Megalopolis model. Environmental systems and topography Megaregions are needed because the US will be reduced to only 11 regions that will be habitable for humans by the UNs design. These mega-cities will be connected through railways. The general publics access to free movement across megaregions will be severely restricted. Trains will also be used to transport the food and supplies to these areas. Currently, federal government agencies are working with corporations like Amtrak, the housing and urban development authorizations and farm policies to connect and restrict the needs of the cities. A high-speed rail system is needed to meet the growing movement across the country. This provides freight systems to move directly to ports, pick up their goods and transport them. Truck Only Tolls are designed to discourage individual movement of goods. The need for traditional truck driving will be a distant memory. Trains are more easily controlled by the governing agencies in charge of managing the population of these areas. As states become aware of the underlying meaning behind Agenda 21, they are putting in place legislation to prevent this takeover of our rights as Americans by the international United Nations. President Obama, a big supporter of the UNs Agenda 21 initiative, signed the executive order Establishing a White House Council on Strong Cities, Strong Communities where he outlined plans to partner with local communities and the US government to provide them with comprehensive technical assistance to use and compete for Federal resources. The US government will then enable them to develop and implement economic strategies to become more competitive, sustainable, and inclusive. Obama claims that only with regional collaboration and comprehensive planning with the US government will stabilize economic growth, create jobs, and lead to sustainable redevelopment of our American cities. This rhetoric is nearly copied directly from the Agenda 21 documents from past Earth Summits. Obama wants to gain governance over resources and implement US government objectives under the guise of suggestive communication with state and local governments. Simply put, when the US government provides the financial backing, they can create any outcome they desire. By using the cloak of sustainability and economic growth, the Obama administration is seeking to obtain voluntary control of our towns and cities from our local governments. As with Agenda 21, this governmental intervention will take all the power out of the local residents of towns and cities. The US government will have supreme control by way of financial manipulation. As the local level is forced to change independent strategies, the government will assist the supposed failing local governments with predetermined and sustainable economic opportunities . . . as long as the local governments do as they are told by the Obama administration.

3	California on the Brink: 14 Rural Communities are Now Facing Total Water DepletionJoshua Krause By the early 1960s, the last handful of residents left the town. They leaving behind an eerie scene, filled with crumbling homes and businesses amidst a desolate landscape. However, gold isnt essential to living. If the Western drought continues on its current course, then we have dozens of ghost towns to look forward to in the near future. So far the drought in California has been relentless. Where I live in the Bay Area, weve had our first rain of the year today, if you could call it that. More like a fine mist. Normally weve gotten at least one rainy day by this time of year, but its looking like this winter is going to be just as bad as last year. The people living in the rural parts of the central valley are getting hit the hardest. A total of 14 communities throughout the state are on the edge of water depletion. For now theyve been able to keep the situation under control by allocating water from neighboring communities, but how much longer can they continue to do so? Last week it was reported that certain regions of California have about 2 months before they run out of water. If we dont get rain soon, its possible that some people may have to leave their homes. Furthermore, the timing of this rain is going to be crucial. As reported by Bloomberg News, California will continue to suffer chronic drought without substantial mountain snowfall this winter; snowfall that melts in spring replenishes the states water systems, but there has been a dearth of snowfall in recent years. All eyes will be turned to the winter because it is a really critical winter, not just for California but the rest of the West and the lower Great Plains as well, Mark Svoboda of the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, told Bloomberg. For the majority of the West, the lifeline is the snow that falls in the Rockies, the snow that falls in the Cascades and the snow that falls in the Sierra, he added. If we had 20 inches of rain in April or March, none of it would become snow, and none of it would refill our reservoirs. Ninety percent of our water supply comes from snow melt in the Sierras, so that water constitutes not just the bulk of our agricultural usage, but urban use as well. And thats where things might start to get scary for California, and the Western United States in general. Its one thing to have to spend more money on groceries every month because our most abundant agricultural region is drying up. Its quite another to start water rationing millions of urbanites. For most people in the city, this is a faraway problem lurking in the back of their minds. It hasnt hit home yet. The worst drought in recorded history means theyll have to let their lawn dry up, and pay a higher water bill. It doesnt mean that theyll have to start taking their showers with bottled water. It doesnt mean that theyll face bankruptcy if their crops die. Most of them have no idea how bad it is. Someday theyll be blindsided when their cities begin to shutoff their water throughout the day. Not that the city and state governments know what theyre doing. When it comes to allocating the states resources to local communities, theyre using outdated data from the early 20th century. That means that theyre giving the rights to more water than actually exists in our reservoirs. With conditions as they currently are, many of the streams and waterways that provide water throughout California are running dry. And this is occurring even as many areas draw less water than they are technically allowed to under the law, meaning that, if every area was exercising its full water rights, Californias water crisis could snowball into a complete infrastructure collapse. According to LAR, the most overused rivers are located primarily in Northern California, and mainly constitute those that flow from the Sierra Nevada mountains down into the Central Valley toward the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. In these areas, existing water rights exceed actual water availability by a factor of six or more, according to experts. Meanwhile, state officials continue to hound residents to cut back on their water usage. It turns out that if they want to find the worst water abusers in their communities, they only need to take a look in the mirror. Mike Soubirous is a prodigious water user, pumping more than 1 million gallons per year at his lushly landscaped home on a hot, windy Southern California hilltop. Soubirous also is a member of the Riverside City Council, which in July voted unanimously to impose tough new water conservation rules in this desert city of 317,000. In addition to Soubirous, two other officials a Fresno city councilman and a member of Riversides utilities board pumped more than 1 million gallons in a single year during the drought, records show. Eight other officials used more than 1,100 gallons per day in 2013. Thats triple the states average. Among them was Randy Record, chairman of the board of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which recently launched an advertising blitz to persuade 19 million people to save water. Fortunately, water bills for any state official who sets water policy, is open to the public. So far that law is the only positive thing this state has done to curb the water crisis. All told, this drought is going to have far reaching effects across the United States. Not only is it going to drive up food prices, but it may force many Californians out of their communities, and perhaps, out of the state. The rest of the country used to joke about California breaking away from the US and falling into the sea. Now they may be faced with Californian refugees fleeing the state in the near future. I doubt theyll be laughing then. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

3	At Earth Summit Royal Society and WWF: Humanity is an Unsustainable Danger to Earths Eco-SystemSusanne Posel, Contributor Humanity is a viable threat to the eco-system and future of planet Earth, say scientists from the UKs Royal Society. The overall message is that we need a renewed focus on both population and consumption its not enough to look at one or the other, said Prof Charles Godray from the Martin School at the University of Oxford, who chaired the process of writing the declaration. We need to look at both, because together they determine the footprint on the world. Globalist academics decry humanitys footprint is getting heavier and heavier. They have released a public declaration to coerce developed and developing nations to join forces to combat humanitys assault on our planet. The declaration states: The global population is currently around seven billion, and most projections suggest that it will probably lie between eight and 11 billion by 2050. Global consumption levels are at an all-time high, largely because of the high per-capita consumption of developed countries. The fear-mongers assert that if governments fail to enact these changes, will put us on track to alternative futures with severe and potentially catastrophic implications for human well-being. The drafted agreement claims all governments pledge to change unsustainable consumption and production patterns to reflect Agenda 21 Sustainable Development policies within sovereign nations so that the UN can usurp authority by ratification of international mandate within individual countries. The report claims that over population in under-developed countries has resulted in unsustainable consumption worldwide. Eliya Zulu, executive director of the African Institute for Development Policy in Nairobi, co-author of the report from the Royal Society, says: Many African countries are feeling the effects of population growth, and are finding theyll need to deal with it in order to continue developing as well as to address their environmental issues. If you look at a country like Rwanda, its one of the most densely populated in Africa and the government believes one of the reasons behind the genocide was high population density and competition for resources. And the economic downturn that started in the late 1980s made people realize that in order to reach the Millennium Development Goals [MDGs], you cant do it if your population is growing rapidly. Zulu points out that women in Africa are contributing to the over-population problems, which is causing the need to increase family planning provisions in Africa. This is an absolutely critical period for people and the planet, with profound changes for human health and wellbeing and the natural environment, said Sir John Sulston, the reports chairman, who headed the Human Genome Project , and currently chairs the Institute for Science Ethics and Innovation . Where we go is down to human volition its not pre-ordained, its not the act of anything outside humanity, its in our hands. These globalists believe that while more people are born, over-consumption becomes an issue of over-population. Under-developed countries are being blamed for ushering our planet toward destruction because of lack of access to family planning services. By controlling fertility rates, as well as consumption of food, water and other resources, these experts assert that the environment, CO2 emissions and the status of the planet will be saved. The Royal Society has used gross national product (GDP) to define how a nations economy can sustain its population. Their focus is to protect the environment over the rights of humanity as a whole. While the UN discusses how to deal with the rising human population, radical environmentalists are speaking at the UN Earth Summit, urging that biodiversity be protected from the effects of humanity. The World Wildlife Federation (WWF) has also released a report called the Living Planet Report that condemns the ecological disaster our planet is becoming from the direct influence of man. It was the WWF who published a false report on the polar bear population last year. By purveying the myth that the polar bears are drowning due to ice sheets melting because of global warming, the WWF participated in the alarmism of climate change. Real world observations from researchers found that polar bear populations are estimated at 66% higher than climate change alarmists predicted. David Nussbaum, CEO of the WWF in the UK, says: The Rio+20 conferences are an opportunity for the world to get serious about the need for development to be made sustainable. We need to elevate the sense of urgency, and I think this is ultimately not only about our lives but the legacy we leave for future generations. The report from the WWF is compiled from data obtained from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), as well as analysis from the Global Footprint Network (GFN) to further globalist agendas for global sustainability and encompassing the worlds ecological footprint. They assert issues surrounding the use of fossil fuels, deforestation for agricultural use, logging wood, and depleting fish populations as a food source. The ZSL claims 30% of the species of the world have been in a steady decline since 1970, while tropical species have been waning at a rate of more than 60% because of the destruction to tropical lakes and rivers. Tim Blackburn, director of the Institute of Zoology at the ZSL, maintains: Nature is more important than money. Humanity can live without money, but we cant live without nature and the essential services it provides. Nations under pressure by the UN and defined as completely unsustainable are: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, has launched a global conversation to keep the appearance that the UN is interested in creating the future we want. Through Facebook , Twitter or simply mailing in concerns, the panelists and event participants will answer questions, expectations, or comments . . . at the event on November 22, 2012 at 10am EST. The UN hope to continue to purvey the ruse that they are an international community dedicated to making our world a better place. In the shadows, the globalist Elite lurks and patiently wait while the very right to human existence is stripped from sovereign nations through international directives. This vision of the future is not what we want. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

2	BREAKING: Trump Is Celebrating With The Best News Yet... They Cant Even Compete Since the beginning of the presidential election, the liberal media has been trying to portray Trump as underperforming in the polls. Election experts have continuously claimed Trump has reached his peak amount of supporters, arguing that he has no real chance of winning the election . That changed this week, when the latest polls revealed Trump has managed to attract more voters to the Republican Party. He is now leading Clinton in three important swing states. It seems that when it comes to our national security, voters are simply unwilling to trust Clinton. Trump is now the preferred candidate in Florida, and has a lead in Pennsylvania as well. Trump leads Clinton 42 to 39 percent in Florida, an 11-point swing from last month. In Pennsylvania, he leads her 43 to 41 percent. The pair remains tied in Ohio. The shift comes after a tumultuous week on the campaign trail for Clinton, who just barely dodged criminal charges from the FBI over her use of a private email server as secretary of state. What do you think of these new numbers? Are things looking very good for Trump? 
2	Watch What Happens Right After Michelle Gets Called An Angry Black Woman On Live TV Last week, Michelle Obama used her final one-on-one interview with Oprah to claim that President-elect Donald Trump has stripped hope from the American people. Of course, throughout the segment, she neglected to acknowledge any of the millions of Americans who voted for Trump and believe he will make America great again. We feel the difference now. See, now, we are feeling what not having hope feels like, Michelle said of the election results. Hope is necessary. Its a necessary concept and Barack didnt just talk about hope because he thought it was just a nice slogan to get votes. He and I and so many believe thatwhat else do you have if you dont have hope? What do you give your kids if you cant give them hope? It didnt take long for former District Attorney Judge Jeanine Pirro to rip Michelle apart on her Fox News show. Since when does hope rise and fall with you and Barack? Pirro demanded. Hope is when people 30,000 at a time stand in line in the cold with their children hoping to get a glimpse of a man that they think can change the course of their lives from the downward spiral that you and Mr. Hope and Change put them on. Ill tell you what hope and change is, Pirro continued. Hope and change is when people show up 20,000 strong after an election, desperate to see the man that actually brought back jobs. Almost 1,000, when your husband said it was impossible to bring them back at Carrier. Pirro concluded the epic segment by suggesting that Michelle should walk outside the White House as a normal citizen and see what her husbands presidency has been like for the rest of America. What do you think? Do you agree with Pirro completely? 
1	A cocktail party at the home of art curator Martin Conroy was already as wild as it was going to get by 8 p.m. Monday. 'Oh, my goodness, look at Ted,' said Marisa Pulsipher, spotting fellow partygoer Ted Kannell doing his impersonation of Boston Symphony conductor Seiji Ozawa. 'He is just irrepressible.' The party almost got wilder when Conroy pondered breaking out a bottle of Loch Morar 30-year-old single-malt scotch, but he ultimately decided not to. 
2	Obama Admits That He Lied To Get Elected [VIDEO] In a recent trip to Texas, Barack Obama gave a speech that was certainly unforgettable. And no, he wasnt announcing his retirement. Instead, Obama stood in front of a crowd of people and told them that he feels it is time to be honest now that he can run for president. That statement implies something we already knew but is shocking nonetheless: the president admitted to lying during his campaign. Obama went on to claim that he was not a partisan man. His favorite president was the first republic president, Lincoln. The statements are contradictory to the fact that the president in fact vowed to get revenge on non-supporters during his first term as presidency. Since that time, the president has made many unforgiveable moves, but now it appears that he has reached a state of pure defiance. Hes started creating his own laws and making unilateral decisions, and he seems to be done pretending to cooperate. Watch the video below and tell us what you think: 
3	Added Avocado Fat Cancels Harm From Damaging FatsSayer Ji, Contributor Some good fats can do bad things (go rancid), and sometimes, a fat will sacrifice its goodness to keep another fat from doing harm. Take for example, a recent study that looked at what happened when avocado was added to a heart-stopping American favorite, the hamburger meal.[i] Researchers at the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition took eleven healthy subjects, and on two different occasions, fed them either 250 gram hamburger patty alone (ca. 436 cal and 25 g fat) or together with 68 grams of avocado flesh (an additional 114 cal and 11 g of fat for a total of 550 cal and 36 g fat). The researchers then measured the degree of vasoconstriction following hamburger ingestion 2 hours later in test subjects given a hamburger meal either with our without avocado. The hamburger meal resulted in significant vasoconstriction, whereas the avocado+hamburger meal saw no change at all. Next, the researchers isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the test subjects in order to measure a protein known as Ikappa-B alpha, which is an indicator of inflammation. At 3 hours, there was a significant preservation of IkBa when avocado was consumed with the meat compared to meat lone, consistent with reduced activation of the NF-kappa B (NFB) inflammatory pathway. Another blood marker, interleukin-6 (IL-6), increased significantly at 4 hours after the consumption of the hamburger, but no change was observed when avocado was added. Discussion There are two main reasons why fats are labeled bad. First, fatty foods that are comprised of a disproportionate amount of omega-6 fats (relative to omega-3 fats) contribute to the formation of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, e.g. prostaglandin E2, leukotriene, thromboxane, etc. Corn, soy, peanut, grape, canola, and many other grain, seed and bean oils, are all extraordinarily high in omega-6 relative to omega-3 content. Peanut oil, for instance, has several thousand times more omega-6 than omega-3. This is profoundly out of balance when you consider our evolutionarily-determined ideal ratio is closer to a 1:1-1:4 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3. When you feed cattle on these omega-6 rich foods, the problem only becomes more exaggerated. Grain-fed cattle not only concentrate omega-6 fats in their flesh but inflammatory metabolites of omega-6 fats such as arachadonic acid, which is the fuel the Cox-2 enzyme burns (technically oxidizes) during the inflammatory process. This explains why the ordinary grain-fed hamburger can be so inherently toxic. And yet, there are grass-fed and organic alternatives much higher in beneficial omega-3 fats, as well as beneficial fats such as conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). But even in this latter case, when the ratio and types of fats are generally good, they can still undergo a process known as lipid peroxidation. This is the second way that fats can go bad. Lipid peroxidation can occur both outside of the stomach (when grilled/cooked), or within the stomach during the normal process of digestion. Otherwise known as rancidity, lipid peroxidation results in quite a few adverse health effects, including inflammation and even damage to the arteries in our bodies. This is why antioxidants, as evidenced by avocados beneficial role in the study above, are powerful inhibitors of this deleterious process. Ultimately, this study speaks to the necessity of balance in what we eat. Recipes, as we have written about previously in Have We Stripped Our Food of Its Story?, are medical prescriptions, which is the literal translation of the French word. Our common use of dressings, condiments and spices, in other words, are not simply aesthetical enhancements to our meals, but protect and amplify the nutrition contained within the main ingredients. For those who have chosen a meat-based diet for themselves, the key may be making sure that the animals were raised in as humane and healthy a manner as possible, and that when consuming meat they also consume antioxidant spices, seasonings and plant foods that prevent it from going rancid or otherwise doing harm. For an extensive list of over 50 natural compounds which reduce or eliminate lipid peroxidation view our research section on the topic: Lipid Peroxidation Research. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Lesbian Bishop Calls For Church To Remove Crosses And Install Muslim... According to recent reports, the Bishop of Stockholm has just proposed that a church in her diocese remove all signs of the cross. Instead, Eva Brunne suggests that they put down markings showing the direction to Meccaa tribute to Muslim worshippers. Brunne is famous for being the worlds first openly lesbian bishop, made so by the Church of Sweden in 2009. She has a young son with her wife, also a priest. Brunne suggested that the church have a more open approach to religious diversity. I have no problem with Muslim or Hindu sailors coming here and praying, the church director replied. But I believe that we are a Christian church, so we keep the symbols. If I visit a mosque I do not ask them to take down their symbols. Its my choice to go in there. What do you think? Is this absolutely disgraceful? 
3	The Waste List: 66 Crazy Ways That The U.S. Government Is Wasting Your Hard-Earned MoneyMichael Snyder This week when I saw that the IRS was about to pay out 70 million dollars in bonuses to their employees and that the U.S. government was going to be leaving 7 billion dollars worth of military equipment behind in Afghanistan, it caused me to reflect on all of the other crazy ways that the government has been wasting our money in recent years. So I decided to go back through my previous articles and put together a list. I call it The Waste List. Even though our politicians insist that there is very little that can still be cut out of the budget, the truth is that the federal budget is absolutely drowning in pork. The following are 66 crazy ways that the U.S. government is wasting your hard-earned money #1 The IRS is about to pay out 70 million dollars in bonuses to employees even though discretionary bonuses are supposed to be cancelled due to the sequester. #2 According to the Washington Post, the U.S. government is going to leave 7 billion dollars worth of military equipment behind in Afghanistan. #3 It is being projected that the trip that the Obamas will be making to Africa will cost U.S. taxpayers $100,000,000. #4 The NIH plans to spend $509,840 on a study that will send text messages in gay lingo to methamphetamine addicts to try to persuade them to use fewer drugs and more condoms. #6 The IRS spent $60,000 on a film parody of Star Trek and a film parody of Gilligans Island. Internal Revenue Service employees were the actors in the two parodies, so as you can imagine the acting was really bad. #7 The NIH has given $1.5 million to Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts to study why three-quarters of lesbians in the United States are overweight and why most gay males are not. #8 The NIH has also spent $2.7 million to study why lesbians have more vulnerability to hazardous drinking. #9 The U.S. government is giving sixteen F-16s and 200 Abrams tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt even though the new president of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi (a member of the Muslim Brotherhood), constantly makes statements such as the following Dear brothers, we must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews, and all those who support them #10 During 2012, the salaries of Barack Obamas three climate change advisers combined came to a grand total of more than $370,000. #11 Overall, 139 different White House staffers were making at least $100,000 during 2012, and there were 20 staffers that made the maximum of $172,200. #12 Amazingly, U.S. taxpayers spend more than 1.4 billion dollars a year on the Obamas. Meanwhile, British taxpayers only spend about 58 million dollars on the entire royal family. #13 During 2012, $25,000 of federal money was spent on a promotional tour for the Alabama Watermelon Queen. #14 The U.S. government spent $505,000 to promote specialty hair and beauty products for cats and dogs in 2012. #15 NASA spends close to a million dollars a year developing a menu of food for a manned mission to Mars even though it is being projected that a manned mission to Mars is still decades away. #16 During 2012, the federal government spent 15 million dollars to help the Russians recruit nuclear scientists. #17 Over the past 15 years, a total of approximately $5.25 million has been spent on hair care services for the U.S. Senate. #18 The U.S. government spent 27 million dollars to teach Moroccans how to design and make pottery in 2012. #19 At a time when we have an epidemic of unemployment in the United States, the U.S. Department of Education is spending $1.3 million to reduce linguistic, academic, and employment barriers for skilled and low-skilled immigrants and refugees, and to integrate them into the U.S. workforce and professions. #20 The federal government still sends about 20 million dollars a year to the surviving family members of veterans of World War I, even though World War I ended 94 years ago. #21 The U.S. government is spending approximately 3.6 million dollars a year to support the lavish lifestyles of former presidents such as George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. #22 During fiscal 2012, the National Science Foundation gave researchers at Purdue University $350,000. They used part of that money to help fund a study that discovered that if golfers imagine that a hole is bigger it will help them with their putting. #23 The U.S. government is giving hundreds of millions of dollars to the Palestinian Authority every single year. #24 Federal agencies have purchased a total of approximately 2 billion rounds of ammunition over the past couple of years. It is claimed that all of this ammunition is needed for training purposes. #25 During 2012, the National Science Foundation spent $516,000 on the creation of a video game called Prom Week which apparently simulates all the social interactions of the event. #26 If you can believe it, $10,000 of U.S. taxpayer money was actually used to purchase talking urinal cakes up in Michigan. #27 When Joe Biden and his staff took a trip to London, the hotel bill cost U.S. taxpayers $459,388.65. #28 Joe Biden and his staff also stopped in Paris for one night. The hotel bill for that one night came to $585,000.50. #29 If you can believe it, close to 15,000 retired federal employees are currently collecting federal pensions for life worth at least $100,000 annually. That list includes such names as Newt Gingrich, Bob Dole, Trent Lott, Dick Gephardt and Dick Cheney. #30 The U.S. Department of Agriculture has spent $300,000 to encourage Americans to eat caviar. #31 The National Institutes of Health recently gave $666,905 to a group of researchers that is conducting a study on the benefits of watching reruns on television. #32 The National Science Foundation has given 1.2 million dollars to a team of scientists that is spending part of that money on a study that is seeking to determine whether elderly Americans would benefit from playing World of Warcraft or not. #33 The National Institutes of Health recently gave $548,731 to a team of researchers that concluded that those that drink heavily in their thirties also tend to feel more immature. #34 The National Science Foundation recently spent $30,000 on a study to determine if gaydar actually exists. This is the conclusion that the researchers reached at the end of the study. Gaydar is indeed real and its accuracy is driven by sensitivity to individual facial features #35 In 2011,the National Institutes of Health spent $592,527 on a study that sought to figure out once and for all why chimpanzees throw poop. #36 The National Institutes of Health has spent more than 5 million dollars on a website called Sexpulse that is targeted at men who use the Internet to seek sex with men. According to Fox News, the website includes pornographic images of homosexual sex as well as naked and scantily clad men and features a Space Invaders-style interactive game that uses a penis-shaped blaster to shoot down gay epithets. #37 The General Services Administration spent $822,751 on a training conference for 300 west coast employees at the M Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The following is how the Washington Post described some of the wasteful expenses that happened during this conference Among the excessive, wasteful and in some cases impermissable spending the inspector general documented: $5,600 for three semi-private catered in-room parties and $44 per person daily breakfasts; $75,000 for a team-building exercise the goal was to build a bicycle; $146,000 on catered food and drinks; and $6,325 on commemorative coins in velvet boxes to reward all participants for their work on stimulus projects. The $31,208 networking reception featured a $19-per-person artisanal cheese display and $7,000 of sushi. At the conferences closing-night dinner, employees received yearbooks with their pictures, at a cost of $8,130. You can see some stunning pictures of GSA employees living the high life in Las Vegas right here. #38 Do you remember when credit rating agency Egan Jones downgraded U.S. government debt from AA+ to AA? Well, someone in the federal government apparently did not like that at all. According to Zero Hedge, the SEC planned to file charges against Egan Jones for misstatements on a regulatory application with the SEC. Normally, the SEC does not go after anyone. After all, when is the last time a major banker went to prison? No, the truth is that the SEC is usually just a huge waste of taxpayer money. According to ABC News, one investigation found that 17 senior SEC officials had been regularly viewing pornography while at work. While the American people were paying their salaries, this is what senior SEC officials were busy doing One senior attorney at SEC headquarters in Washington spent up to eight hours a day accessing Internet porn, according to the report, which has yet to be released. When he filled all the space on his government computer with pornographic images, he downloaded more to CDs and DVDs that accumulated in boxes in his offices. Another SEC accountant used his SEC-issued computer to upload his own sexually explicit videos onto porn websites he joined. And another SEC accountant attempted to access porn sites 16,000 times in a single month. #39 According to InformationWeek, the federal government is spending millions of dollars to train Asian call center workers. #40 If you can believe it, the federal government has actually spent $750,000 on a new soccer field for detainees held at Guantanamo Bay. #41 The U.S. Agency for International Development spent 10 million dollars to create a version of Sesame Street for Pakistani television. #42 The Obama administration has plans to spend between 16 and 20 million dollars to help students from Indonesia get masters degrees. #43 The National Science Foundation spent $198,000 on a University of California-Riverside study that explored motivations, expectations and goal pursuit in social media. One of the questions the study sought an answer to was the following: Do unhappy people spend more time on Twitter or Facebook? #44 In 2011, $147,138 was given to the American Museum of Magic in Marshall, Michigan. Their best magic trick is making U.S. taxpayer dollars disappear. #45 The federal government recently spent $74,000 to help Michigan increase awareness about the role Michigan plays in the production of trees and poinsettias. #46 In 2011, the federal government gave $550,000 toward the making of a documentary about how rock and roll contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union. #47 The National Institutes of Health has contributed $55,382 toward a study of hookah smoking habits in the country of Jordan. #48 The federal government gave $606,000 to researchers at Columbia University to study how heterosexuals use the Internet to find love. #49 A total of $133,277 was recently given to the International Center for the History of Electronic Games for video game preservation. The International Center for the History of Electronic Games says that it collects, studies, and interprets video games, other electronic games, and related materials and the ways in which electronic games are changing how people play, learn, and connect with each other, including across boundaries of culture and geography. #50 The federal government has given approximately $3 million to researchers at the University of California at Irvine to fund their research into video games such as World of Warcraft. #51 In 2011, the National Science Foundation gave one team of researchers $149,990 to create a video game called RapidGuppy for cell phones and other mobile devices. #52 In 2011, $936,818 was spent developing an online soap opera entitled Diary of a Single Mom. The show chronicles the lives and challenges of three single mothers and their families trying to get ahead despite obstacles that all single mothers face, such as childcare, healthcare, education, and finances. #53 Last year, the federal government spent $96,000 to buy iPads for kindergarten students in Maine. #54 The U.S. Postal Service once spent $13,500 for a single dinner at Ruths Chris Steakhouse. #55 In 2011, the Air Force Academy completed work on an outdoor worship area for pagans and Wiccans.

3	Did some of Syrias WMDs come from America?Jon Rappoport Remember Saddam Hussein? Iraq? There was a considerable debate about whether Saddam hid some of his bio/chem weapons in Syria, to evade UN weapons inspectors. If he did, then is it possible the current situation in Syria has a few of its roots in the US? Is it possible some of Syrias WMDs originally came from America? Because, you see, the US supplied Saddam with bio/chem weapons. Heres a juicy slice of forgotten history: In 1975, the US signed on to an international treaty banning the production, use, and stockpiling of biological weapons. ButWashington Post (9/4/13, When the US looked the other way on chemical weapons): The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous itemsincluding poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague Between 1985 and 1989, a US 501C3 firm, American Type Culture Collection, sent Iraq up to 70 shipments of various biowar agents, including 21 strains of anthrax. Between 1984 and 1989, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) sent Iraq at least 80 different biowar agents, including botulinum toxoid, dengue virus, and West Nile antigen and antibody. Then we have a comprehensive article by William Blum in the April 1998 Progressive called Anthrax Export. Blum cites a 1994 Senate report confirming that, in this 1985-1989 time period, US shipments of anthrax and other biowar agents to Iraq were licensed bydrum roll, cymbal crashthe US Dept. of Commerce. Blum quotes from the Senate report: These biological materials were not attenuated or weakened and were capable of reproduction. It was later learned that these microorganisms exported by the United States were identical to those the United Nations inspectors found and removed from the Iraqi biological warfare program. This 1994 Senate report also indicates that the US exported to Iraq the precursors for chemwar agents, actual plans for chemical and biowar production facilities, and chemical-warhead filling equipment. The exports continued until at least November 28, 1989. Blum lists a few other biowar agents the US shipped to Iraq. Histoplasma Capsulatum, Brucella Melitensis, Clostridium Perfringens, Clostridium tetanias well as E. coli, various genetic materials, human and bacterial DNA. Blum also points out that a 1994 Pentagon report dismissed any connection between all these biowar agents and Gulf War Illness. But the researcher who headed up that report, Joshua Lederberg, was actually a director of the US firm that had sent the most biowar material to Iraq in the 1980s: the American Type Culture Collection. Now, as to other US companies which dealt biowar or chemwar agents to Iraqall such sales having been approved by the US governmentthe names of these companies are contained in records of the 1992 Senate hearings, United States export policy toward Iraq prior to Iraqs invasion of Kuwait: The names of US criminal companies: Mouse Master (Georgia), Sullaire Corp (Charlotte, North Carolina), Pure Aire (Charlotte, North Carolina), Posi Seal (Conn.), Union Carbide (Conn.), Evapco (Maryland), BDM Corp (Virginia), Spectra Physics (Calif.). There are about a dozen more. Hewlett Packard said that the recipient of its shipments, Saad 16, was some sort of school in Iraq. But in 1990, the Wall St. Journal stated that Saad 16 was a heavily fortified, state-of-the-art [Iraqi] complex for aircraft construction, missile design, and, almost certainly, nuclear-weapons research. Its not much of a stretch to conclude that at least some of the bio/chem weapons Syria now possesses came from Saddam, and ultimately from the US. The US government isnt going to shine a light in that dark holeat least, publicly.

1	Serbian president Vojislav Kostunica deployed more than 30,000 peacekeeping troops to the U.S. Monday, pledging full support to the troubled North American nation as it struggles to establish democracy. Serbian peacekeeping troops patrol Washington, D.C. 'We must do all we can to support free elections in America and allow democracy to gain a foothold there,' Kostunica said. 'The U.S. is a major player in the Western Hemisphere and its continued stability is vital to Serbian interests in that region.' Kostunica urged Al Gore, the U.S. opposition-party leader who is refusing to recognize the nation's Nov. 7 election results, to 'let the democratic process take its course.' 'Mr. Gore needs to acknowledge the will of the people and concede that he has lost this election,' Kostunica said. 'Until America's political figures learn to respect the institutions that have been put in place, the nation will never be a true democracy.' Serbian forces have been stationed throughout the U.S., with an emphasis on certain trouble zones. Among them are Oregon, Florida, and eastern Tennessee, where Gore set up headquarters in Bush territory. An additional 10,000 troops are expected to arrive in the capital city of Washington, D.C. by Friday. Though Kostunica has pledged to work with U.S. leaders, he did not rule out the possibility of economic sanctions if the crisis is not resolved soon. 'For democracy to take root and flourish, it must be planted in the rich soil of liberty. And the cornerstone of liberty is elections free of tampering or corruption,' Kostunica said. 'Should America prove itself incapable of learning this lesson on its own, the international community may be forced to take stronger measures.' 
1	Hungry to possess as many consumer goods as possible, Brixton area consumers consumed the entire Brixton area yesterday, leaving only a barren, rocky swath of dead earth in their wake. The consumption marked the end of a massive consumer binge in which Brixton residents have indulged, like most Americans, since the end of World War II. Brixton, formerly an affluent semi-professional suburban community noted for its readily available office space and burgeoning retail market outlets, is now known only as The Scorched Infertile Earth That Once Was Brixton. Economists see the towns desolation as a positive economic indicator, signifying healthy markets and a renewed willingness of American consumers to continue to consume. The figures support that projection: The consumer spending quotient was up 650 percent, local retailers sales figures were up 800 percent, and the consumer satisfaction index was up nearly 1000 percent. According to a statement from the office of Brixton Mayor Herb Jarzemsky, Forget for the moment that our once green and budding town is now a lifeless stretch of exposed terrestrial core, with no possibility of habitation or growth of flora. This mass consumption has pushed all leading economic indicators through the roof, and were very encouraged by that. Jarzemsky could not be reached for comment as of press time, as he had himself also been consumed. The rest of the statement was also unavailable, as it had been consumed as well. Consumer morale indexes have never been higher, and I feel the message is clear: The American consumer is once again on the move! President Clinton told cheering crowds at the Consumer Confidence Conference in Schaumburg, IL, yesterday. Though Clinton was referring to the projected economic boom he hopes will boost his reelection bid, the words on the move also referred to the gigantic, nomadic tribe of voracious former Brixtonian consumers currently headed west toward Wilfordchester, leaving a mile-wide stretch of smoky, barren terrain behind them. An unofficial report from a source within the Wilfordchester Chamber of Commerce revealed that the consumer mass, which is moving at a rate of 1.7 miles per day, is expected to reach the heavily populated Wilfordchester metropolitan area by mid-August, wreaking environmental havoc like a powerful tornado. We look forward to the arrival of the devouring horde, Commerce Secretary Maureen Laughlin said. I wouldnt go so far as to say our economy has been sluggish, but we could certainly use a boost, and being laid waste by the horde should put our numbers up where they belong. Massive evacuation plans for the community have not been ruled out, according to Massachusetts Gov. William Weld. But such plans may not be necessary: A covert airlift operation is currently flooding the grasslands directly in front of the mobile consumer mass with high-quality consumer goods provided by a number of Massachusetts area merchants, including Yammush & Simms and Filenes Basement. We are excited about the opportunity to provide the Brixton Mobile Consumer Mass with the high-quality, reasonably priced merchandise it has come to expect from Yammush & Simms, helping both save the town of Wilfordchester and stimulate further consumption, Yammush & Simms customer relations spokesperson Kent Grant said. We also look forward to being part of this exciting economic surge by being consumed ourselves. The Massachusetts National Guard has been put on red alert in the event that consumption-related devastation reaches into neighboring states. 
3	EFF, ACLU Demolish Its Just Metadata Claim in NSA Spying AppealAmericans Deserve Full Protection of the Fourth Amendment for their Telephone Records, Groups Argue The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) today filed an amicus brief in Klayman v. Obama, a high-profile lawsuit that challenges mass surveillance, arguing that Americans telephone metadata deserves the highest protection of the Fourth Amendment. Larry Klayman, conservative activist and founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, was among the first plaintiffs to sue the National Security Agency (NSA) over the collection of telephone metadata from Verizon customers that was detailed in documents released by Edward Snowden. In December 2013, Judge Richard Leon issued a preliminary ruling that the program was likely unconstitutional, and the case is currently on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In the new amicus brief in Klayman v. Obama, the EFF and ACLU lawyers repudiate arguments by U.S. officials that the records are just metadata and therefore not as sensitive as the contents of phone calls. Using research and new case law, the civil liberties groups argue that metadata (such as who individuals called, when they called, and how long they spoke) can be even more revealing than conversations when collected en masse. Metadata isnt trivial, EFF Legal Fellow Andrew Crocker says. Collected on a massive scale over a broad time period, metadata can reveal your political and religious affiliations, your friends and relationships, even whether you have a health condition or own guns. This is exactly the kind of warrantless search the Fourth Amendment was intended to prevent. The brief explains that changes in technology, as well as the governments move from targeted to mass surveillance, mean that the holding of the 1979 Supreme Court case Smith v. Maryland that the government relies on (often called the third-party doctrine) does not apply. Instead, EFF and the ACLU point to a series of recent key decisionsincluding the Supreme Court decisions in United States v. Jones in 2012 and Riley v. California in 2014in which judges ruled in favor of requiring a warrant for electronic search and seizure. Dragnet surveillance is and has always has been illegal in the United States, says ACLU Staff Attorney Alex Abdo. Our countrys founders rebelled against overbroad searches and seizures, and they would be aghast to see the liberties they fought hard to enshrine into our Constitution sacrificed in the name of security. As even the president himself has recognized, we can keep the nation safe without surrendering our privacy. EFF and the ACLU have each litigated numerous First and Fourth Amendment lawsuits related to NSA surveillance and together represent Idaho nurse Anna Smith in a similar case currently on appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals called Smith v. Obama. The ACLU is a plaintiff in a case currently pending before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, ACLU v. Clapper, to be heard on Sept. 2. EFF has two casesJewel v. NSA and First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles v. NSAbefore the U.S. District Court for Northern District of California. For the amicus brief: 
3	Manufacturing Consent In Science: The Diabolical TwistBy Jon Rappoport This is nothing less than the creation of reality. I want to extend that concept here, particularly as it applies to science. From so many directions, official science is shaping our futurethats why its vital to understand the manipulations involved. Its one thing to say media collaborate to sell a false picture of reality, a picture which is then bought by the masses. Its quite another thing to say media collaborate to pretend there is already a consensus of the best professional minds on a given scientific subjectwhen there isnt. Ill start with a theoretical example. Lets say three researchers at a university examine data based on US moon missions, and they conclude that a small set of new conclusions are true. Ill call this set X. The researchers publish an article in a journal, and a healthy debate ensues in professional circles. Is X correct? Are there flaws in the research? However, a powerful public agency decides that X is dangerous. X could lead to inquiries about contractors, investigations into cost overruns, missing money, and, worst of all, flawed engineering of space-capsules. Therefore, this powerful agency goes on an all-out propaganda campaign, tapping its press sources, culminating in a new study that concludes X is entirely false. The press basically trumpets: Experts agree X is false. X was the result of shoddy research. The original researchers made numerous amateur mistakes. Notice that, in this case, the press isnt simply distorting the news. Its announcing that a superior consensus already exists among the best scientific minds. Its lying about a consensus that doesnt exist among scientists who, up until that moment, were having a healthy debate. The press is presenting the false consensus as if it were real and widespread, when it isnt. And at this point, all relevant scientists get the message: keep quiet, dont debate for another moment; otherwise grant monies will vanish, demotions will occur, peers will lay on heavy criticism, excommunication from The Club will follow. So these scientists do keep quietand then a consensus among them comes into being overnight, by implied threat and coercion. This is basically what happened in the arena of energy-production via cold fusion. Wikipedia adequately summarizes the surface of the situation: The most famous cold fusion claims were made by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann in 1989. After a brief period of interest by the wider scientific community, their reports were called into question by nuclear physicists. Not just called into question; defamed, derided, mocked, slammed over the head with a sledgehammer. A superior consensus was invented, despite the fact that many scientists were intensely interested in the Pons/Fleishmann findings. They tried, in vain, to point out that the failed efforts to reproduce those findings resulted because researchers were altering Pons and Fleishmans methods. No dice. Cold fusion was labeled a giant error and even a fraud. The official door was closed. In my research leading up to the publication of my first book, AIDS INC., in 1988, I reviewed the period of the early 1980s, when many researchers were coming at the question of the cause of AIDS from different angles. But then, suddenly, in the spring of 1984, the US government officially announced, at a televised press conference, that a virus called HTLV-III (HIV) was the cause. The science was shoddy, to put it mildly. It was bad science and no science. But no matter. Overnight, all the monies that had gone into discovering what caused AIDS were diverted into the question: How does HIV cause AIDS? Any scientist who failed to see the handwriting on the wall was shoved out into the cold. The press closed ranks. The consensus (though it was manufactured in the blink of an eye) was trumpeted around the world. The big news headline wasnt just false and distorted. It was false-and-distorted about a consensus that, until a few seconds ago, didnt existand only existed now because researchers went silent and accepted dogma and folded up. For years (and even now), the basic news about climate change/global warming is: there is a consensus. The science is settled. The scientists agree that the science is settled. The scientists agree that the scientists who agree are correct. This, despite the fact that you can still find impressive lists of scientists who dont agree at all. But they are shut out of the news. The same construction of consensus applies to the safety of vaccines. The same construction of consensus applies to the overwhelming success of the practice of modern medicine. Predatory corporations who spray poisonous pesticides all over the world and cause birth defects need special protection and cover? Invent, overnight, and broadcast, a consensus that a basically harmless virus is the cause of those tragic defects. I can assure you there are many scientists who dont, for a second, believe the Zika virus is the agent of destruction. But they are keeping their mouths shut now and rolling with the tide. However, that tide is turning. In many arenas of science, journalists and researchers with no allegiance to official bodies have emerged. A different species of handwriting is being inscribed on the wall. What can the mainstream press do about it? They can only deploy the crass tactics Ive mentioned here. A massive and stunning re-education is taking place among the population. No school is running it. No agency is sponsoring it. Its happening from the ground up. It turns out that living as a cipher and a unit in the sticky web of fabricated consensus isnt nearly as attractive as it once was. More and more, major media are using the consensus strategy to invent the newsand people are rejecting it. Without realizing it, the press is committing professional suicide. An article that was once headlined, Three dead horses found in a field, has become, Scientists agree that the three dead horses were a coincidence. And people are laughing the press out of court. The ongoing scandal surrounding the film, Vaxxed, is a good example. The press assures the population that pointing out a connection between a vaccine and autism is absurd, because scientific experts agree there is no such connection. But the film features a long-time researcher at the Centers for Disease Control, who confesses that he and colleagues falsified a 2004 study in order to exonerate one such vaccine. The films subject is false consensus. And the press can do no better than repeat, over and over: the consensus is real and valid. The CDC researcher, William Thompson, is essentially shouting, I was part of the consensus. Dont you get it? I was a card-carrying member of the club that invents fake consensus. And now Im telling you that. Dont fall for this notion that the best minds agree. The best minds conspire to concoct agreement out of thin air. The media are collapsing into their own swamp.

1	Seeking to take his mind off thoughts of the Mets' abysmal September fade in 2007 and their current spiral into second place in the NL East, David Wright began to panic Wednesday as every channel he flipped to on his hotel TV reminded him of monumental collapses. 'The first thing I saw was a report on the Dow Jones plummeting 500 points, with this big graphic of a flashing red arrow pointing down,' said Wright, who also flipped past the film Titanic, part of Wheel Of Fortune just as the wheel came to a stop on 'Bankrupt,' a commercial for a collapsible sofa-bed, footage of 9/11, a weatherman saying that 'things are about to cool down significantly as we head toward October,' and a photo of Joan Rivers' face. Wright said he seriously began to suspect that he was going insane when teammate Carlos Delgado entered the room and asked Wright if he'd 'seen [his] 'Mets squander a three-game lead with a week to play and end up losing the division to the Phillies on the last day of the season' around here anywhere.' 
2	Border Patrol Agent Defies Obamas Orders, Exposes His Crimes I think that we can all agree that we are at a breaking point when it comes to dealing with problems at the border. Immigrants from Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala are in a sense invading the United States, and the inflow of women and children illegally crossing the border is now reaching record highs. What is more, American tax dollars are being used to feed and shelter those entering our country illegally, and the administration seems to be afraid to take any real action. Beyond, of course, forcing Border Patrol agents and local governments to take care of these individuals, while we leave our borders unguarded. What has failed to be recognized is that many of these immigrants are given a playbook of sorts before crossing into the United States. They are taught certain tricks that give them a false hope that minor children will receive refuge here. Now, Border Agent Hector Garcia claims that we can actually blame drug cartels for the influx of new immigrants from across the border. Apparently, this is the perfect distraction for turning our attention away from the drugs and weapons being smuggled across our border. What do you think? Are you fed up with the administration turning the other cheek? 
1	In a statement posted this morning on several Islamist websites, the global terrorist network al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for last Thursday's devastating personal attack on Carbondale, IL resident Tim Harris. The highly coordinated strike, which targeted the unsuspecting 32-year-old as he exited a Huck's convenience store, and made light of his ample girth, lack of employment, and inability to meet single women, occurred at 9:32 a.m. At 9:35 a.m., a second wave of vicious insults was reportedly launched at Harris, obliterating what little remained of his self-esteem. Harris 'The foot soldiers of Islam have struck at this pathetic slob of a man with righteous force, and they have brought him down,' read the statement, which praised as heroes the four al-Qaeda operatives who carried out the personal attack. 'There is nothing left of him now. Tim Harris has been destroyed.' 'Praise be to Allah,' the statement continued. 'Allah is great.' Department of Homeland Security officials told reporters that it could take months to determine the full extent of the damage from what they are calling the worst-ever ad hominem strike on American soil, even as crews worked around the clock to salvage whatever bits of Harris' self-respect they could from the wreckage. 'Never before has our nation witnessed such brutal mockery,' Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said. 'It appears that al-Qaeda had been monitoring Mr. Harris long enough to become fully conversant in his insecurities, and was prepared to employ any means necessary, even pointing out his huge, Neanderthal-like underbite, to achieve its terrible goal. Indeed, there wasn't a single emotional sore spotfrom his lack of sexual experience to the fact that most animals don't seem to like himthat they did not exploit.' 'It's unthinkable,' Napolitano added. 'They even reminded Tim about the time nobody showed up to his New Year's party.' When asked by reporters why her department had failed to prevent the hurtful attack, Napolitano said it was impossible for the government to secure every potential target in a country so densely populated with losers. 'At this time, we simply don't have the resources necessary for such an undertaking,' Napolitano said. 'As much as we would like to, we cannot guarantee the safety of every former telemarketer who sleeps on a futon and still has roommates despite being almost 35 years old.' Critics, however, pointed to the fact that al-Qaeda had attempted a similar personal attack on Harris in 2003, one that might have succeeded had it not been for an uncharacteristic intelligence-gathering error on the terrorists' part. 'We know that al-Qaeda will keep returning to a target until they get their desired result,' CIA director Leon Panetta said. 'Seven years ago, for whatever reason, they failed to take into account that Mr. Harris had been feeling pretty good about having done push-ups that morning and was optimistic about a job interview he'd just been on. That attack was unsuccessful, but we should have learned from it.' 'I mean, just look at the guy,' Panetta added. 'It's hard to imagine a more vulnerable target.' While acknowledging that there is no foolproof way of protecting oneself against the cruelly incisive barbs of al-Qaeda, DHS released today a list of basic self-maintenance measures that Americans, particularly the most defenseless sad sacks, should employ to minimize their risk. Chief among these is cultivating an awareness of one's personal appearance. According to Napolitano, small, relatively easy improvements in wardrobe and hygiene can deprive al-Qaeda of obvious defects upon which to capitalize. 'All Americans must be vigilant about combing their hair,' Napolitano said. 'Also, they should wear a shirt that fits them for once in their life, and if they choose to put on sweatpants, maybe avoid those with obvious mustard stains on them.' 'A personal attack can come at any time and when you least expect it, whether you're lounging around all weekend in your bathrobe or sitting in the waiting room of a hair-loss clinic,' she added. Napolitano stressed that there was no immediate threat of a personal strike against any particular individual. However, she admitted that her department was closely monitoring a number of 'soft targets,' including recently divorced Chicago resident David Braumberg, chronically fatigued Wal-Mart cashier Bridget Carmichael, and Rich Parker, a 28-year-old Ohio native who divides his time between playing poker online and staring glassy-eyed at old high school yearbooks late at night. 'I've personally monitored a few of these targets myself,' Napolitano said. 'Believe me, an attack from al-Qaeda is the last thing these losers need.' 
1	Less than a week after the return of the Atlantis orbiter marked the end of the U.S. space shuttle program, the crowded streets and textile factories of Moscow erupted in celebration as the USSR officially declared victory over the United States in the Space Race. 'At long last, our great Soviet republic has conquered the West and achieved technological and ideological superiority over America,' Kremlin representative Sergei Voronin said Wednesday, announcing the achievement to an audience of joyous beet farmers and steel factory laborers assembled in Red Square. 'We have established our unrivaled dominion over the stars and planets and stand now at the dawn of a new era, an era in which the tenets of communism shall echo loudly across the Earth's entire expanse.' Soviet space stations like this one may soon number in the dozens, officials at the USSR's State Committee for Science and Technology say. 'Comrades, your hard work and sacrifice have finally paid off!' continued Voronin, his proud voice rising in excitement. 'Let us honor this glorious day in Soviet history!' The termination of NASA's space shuttle program marks the end of a nearly 54-year rivalry between the USSR and the United States to achieve superiority in space exploration. The communist state's solidification of its place as the world's predominant superpower has been observed with lavish military parades and celebrations in cities from Leningrad to East Berlin. 'While the Americans have allowed themselves to be distracted by wars and the search for oil, the USSR has always known that he who controls space leads the world,' Premier Mikhail Gorbachev said in a statement. 'Our scientists and cosmonauts have brought honor and glory to the Soviet people with their courage and unwavering commitment to communist ideals.' Sources confirmed that in commemoration of the capitalist defeat, extra bread and corn rations had been approved in all major cities, and factory workers were given time off their nine-hour work shifts to join in the festivities. Throughout the Eastern Bloc, pitchforks, hammers, Soviet flags, and large banners adorned with the face of Lenin were seen waving in the air as the excitement of the victory quickly spread. 'When we saw footage of the Atlantis touching down for the very last time, everyone in the tractor factory exploded with unbridled joy at the triumph of our republic,' said Kiev assembly-line operator Yaroslav Biryukov, who marched in unison with a batch of laborers while loud refrains of the Soviet national anthem rang out through the streets. 'We must now, all of us, work harder, harder than ever to seize this great moment in history.' Shock waves from the USSR's victory in the Space Race have been felt across the communist world, with grand celebrations reported in China, Cuba, North Korea, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan. The White House conceded its defeat earlier today, acknowledging the United States was unfit to compete with the USSR given today's harsh economic landscape. 'There is simply no way for us to match our Soviet rival, either in outer space or here on Earth,' President Obama said in a televised press conference that drew wild cheers when broadcast to the USSR and its satellite states. 'They simply have more advanced technology, better scientists, and a more stable society overall. We honestly never stood a chance.' 'It's sad to say, but we'll be seeing Soviet cosmonauts on the moon for years before we see another American astronaut there,' Obama continued. 'I suppose this just goes to show that capitalism was never the right system after all.' With U.S. intelligence now reporting the Kremlin is at least a year and a half ahead of schedule on its current five-year economic plan, political analysts predict a dramatic shift in power will lead to the rapid Sovietization of the Western Hemisphere, a theory supported by the mass exodus of North American citizens to the USSR over the past year. 'It's only a matter of time before the Soviet Union has successfully spread its communist ideals throughout the entire world, and the United States must accept this grim fact,' University of Virginia political scientist Michael Gates said. 'We can deny the truth as much as we like, but we might as well face it: Our great experiment has failed.' 
3	The Beheading That Never Was? - The Kassig Killing And Western War PropagandaBrandon Turbeville The latest beheading video to allegedly emerge from ISIS reportedly shows the beheading of Peter Kassig, an American aid worker who was captured by the Western-backed fundamentalists in October of last year. Kassig was an Iraq veteran and former U.S. Army Ranger who later became an aid worker in Lebanon and Syria, according to USA Today. Kassigs family states that, while overseas, Kassig converted to Islam and changed his name to Abdul Rahman. The video, which was released Sunday, is over 15 minutes long and contains a rather long propaganda buildup before showing the beheading of 12-18 Syrian soldiers. The beheading of the Syrian soldiers, it should be noted, has received virtually no reporting except for an occasional line or two describing the lead up to Kassigs beheading. Kassigs beheading is not actually shown, however. Toward the end of the video, Jihadi John, the ISIS member who has acted as the star of the series of beheading videos is pictured standing next to a severed human head which he claims belonged to Kassig. If Kassig was indeed beheaded then his murder is without a doubt a tragedy and an act of savage brutality. But there is one thing lacking in the narrative provided by Western governments and their media mouthpieces regarding the beheading evidence. Unlike the staged Foley beheading which attempted to depict, albeit poorly, the first few moments of a decapitation, the Kassig beheading video is not a beheading video at all, but simply footage of a man standing next to a severed head that he claims belonged to Peter Kassig. With the exception of Jihadi Johns word, we are left with nothing with which to confirm that the severed head was actually Kassigs. Considering the track record of Western governments and the recent trail of beheading videos, however, we would be well within reason to question the veracity of the claims. At this point, it is impossible for us to know whether or not the head shown in the video truly belonged to Kassig or even if Kassig was actually beheaded. Likewise, we cannot know for sure whether or not the victims preceding Kassig were truly beheaded, although we can say for sure that the depiction of the beheading shown on film was entirely staged. What we do know, however, is that Kassig and his predecessors are being used for open propaganda purposes. In fact, all of the beheadings that have transpired beginning with the Foley video have been so conveniently timed to the needs and desires of the NATO agenda so as to preclude any reasonable suggestion that the videos themselves were anything other than propaganda. Remember, when the United States was debating the idea of becoming more directly involved in Syria and Iraq, particularly in the form of bombing civilian and government infrastructure and openly funding the death squads they claim to be fighting, a video allegedly showing the beheading of James Foley was released resulting in widespread anger and indignation amongst a general public who were temporarily yanked away from reality TV long enough to view it. Likewise, when the British seemed hesitant to directly join the imperialist bombing coalition, a video was released allegedly showing the beheading of a British citizen, Alan Henning, also causing widespread indignation amongst the public and shoring up support for British military involvement in Iraq and Syria. When the French seemed hesitant to join the bombing, ISIS releases a third video of an alleged beheading of a Frenchman, which provided justification for French involvement. Such convenient timing was also present when NATO was considering targeted airstrikes in Syria but were concerned about Assads sophisticated air defense systems. Shortly thereafter, ISIS managed to capture Taqba air base in Raqqa, Syria, eliminating the air defense systems in the entirety of the eastern part of the country. This timing was present yet again when NATO once again began calling for a No-Fly Zone, Buffer Zone, or Safe Zone. Interestingly enough, during the debate over the possibility of the establishment of a no-fly zone, even members of Congress were beginning to question why a no-fly zone would be necessary in order to combat ISIS since ISIS had no air force. Conveniently, ISIS immediately seized a number of planes left over in the Syrian air fields and allegedly began flying them off the runway. Either ISIS has the absolute dumbest public relations personnel in world history, or the actions of ISIS are directly controlled by NATO for propaganda, geopolitical, and military purposes. The timing of ISIS actions always in line with the goals of the NATO faction of the world oligarchy is clearly the result of the latter. In addition, it is also important to point out that Kassigs humanitarian aid work involves his founding of Special Emergency Response and Resistance, an NGO that is allegedly focused on delivering aid to areas that larger organizations could not operate in. Remember that NGOs have not only been responsible for a significant portion of the organization of death squads but also for the provision of medical help and other logistical assistance need to organize and facilitate the destabilization campaign. That being said, one must mention that the SERR has received a large portion of funding from the NGO Conscience International, an international aid organization that receives its own funding from the National Endowment for Democracy. It is also important to point out that Kassig himself has expressed sentiment that some would consider sympathetic to death squad fighters in Syria. In an interview with Syria Deeply, Kassig stated Noting that he feels terrible for the civilians that are suffering in Syria and that his choices are essentially providing medicine or picking up a gun and joining the rebels, Kassigs political leanings are relatively clear in that they express obvious sympathy for the death squads painted as rebels by the Western media. Thus, one must ask the question of whether or not Kassig was yet another agent of Western destabilization working under the guise of an NGO and aid organization. From what little information is available, it appears that this possibility has fairly high odds of being true. In the end, this video, which has been used to browbeat the American people and drum up support for yet another foreign military adventure, is set to be used to justify Western military invasion against Syria in the near future. Real or otherwise, it is hoped that the American people do not allow primitive propaganda to fool them into rushing to war on yet another occasion.

2	You Wont Believe Who Just Called Obama A Monkey Man According to recent reports, Mayor Patrick Rushing of Airway Heights, Washington is under some serious fire after calling Obama a monkey man and Michelle a gorilla face. Gorilla face Michelle, cant disagree with that, Rushing wrote in a Facebook post. This woman is not attractive except to monkey man Barack. Check out them ears LOL. The post received immediate backlash, and ultimately resulted in the local city council calling for his resignation. When a figurehead makes comments such as these, that sets us back and its hard to come back from, police chief Lee Bennet told reporters. Rushing, however, has refused to resign. I made a mistake. I owned up to my mistake, he told the press in a statement. If I do resign thats admitting Im a racist and Im not. Rushing went on to claim that the comments were simply playful back and forth banter. What do you think of Rushings comments? Did he take things too far? 
3	Emergency Meeting in Russia: State Department / White House Acting StrangeBy Scott Anthony What do you make of this potential rift between the Secretary of State and the White House? Someone not sticking to the script? What type of leverage does Russia have? Please leave your comments below. Subscribe Wow, wow, wow ! Definitely Russia knows everything. But, what is it that Curry and his boss are afraid mostly ? Is it- records on American involvement in False Flag 9/11 and all the rest terrors ? Could anything be more threatening for them ? It has become known that all the time during Mrs. H. Clintons working for the State Department, ALL and I reapeat ALL email-traffic originated from and messages sent to Mrs. Clinton have been redirected direction Russia as well. Without knowledge of these US secret services, US security businesses, more important US security companies all working for the US Government and White House. So we can only guess what is happening at the moment! Putin plays his hand. Obama whimpers under the desk. Putin is a smart man,you dont hear a peep of him unless it is necessary,he is more to Action,Obama is a whimp and good with his mouth but no action done,you know the saying action is louder than words that is Putin You pegged my feelings exactly.

Obama whimpers under the desk. Read more Youre receiving this message because youre signed up to receive notifications about replies to disqus_KR3tTMB74V. My earlier comment was not posted. I probably did a Ginsburg, but we are supposed to have free speech. The woman in the video speaking for the Administration is obviously aware of the lies shes telling, for a paycheck. Its agonizing to watch. I hope Putin listens to what Kerry has to say, and then releases any and all Hillary emails, the 9-11 info and anything that will end this culture of corruption. Who is the US to decide which countrys leader it wants gone, except if its playing from a NWO agenda. Talk about Ultimate Imperialism. IMO, the NWO players that destabilized Syria need to finance the citizens who have become refugees, losing their homes and families. May we never forget the picture of reality: the drowned little boy. We can never accept that kind of foreign policy, or these pathetic leaders, any more. Who is Hillary Clintons boss? money/power, obviously. I believe that it is all coming apart and on the world stage to see, no more hidden meetings and talks, Putin is making sure Kerrys visit is recorded and that people know what he is saying. Putin has been trying to have talks and he was ignored by Obuma. With Turkey going thru a takeover of government at this moment and our trouble with violent riots, government corruption AG, FBI, etcwe should be prepared individually for what may come. be prepared to take over the white house and overthrow the Government,lol Assad must go. What if Syria says Obama must go. America is NOT the leader of the world, or the boss, or the judge and jury of the mid east. It is the most terrifying nation on the planet, that will cause a World War 111 with no other reason but greed and control. that is even better If he were to say that, Id applaud. And maybe send him a rose. Then Obama will go he created his own omen Watching the spin heads heads spin was entertaining. Ill cherish that in my nuclear bunker and chortle over my baked beans. She was hired by psychopaths or is a psychopath who duped those who hired her. O just wnats to make happy with his queen Michael. The leverage is the Clinton emails!!!! the email is just to get everyone attention the icing of the cake is far more bigger,The Money Laundering on the Clinton Foundation Millions of Dollars from Muslim Countries,Hillary Sold our America to the Highest Bidder plus the Bengazi Murder and all those they eliminated who knows all their Dealings so many died from their Corruptions You are the only one who understands. The Clinton Foundation if investigated would implicate so many corrupt political figures all over the world. The emails are being used to take everyones mind from the foundation !!! It is the Foundation, and the FBI knows that it is the Foundation, but Comey is as much an insider as H. Clinton. He laundered money when on the board of HSBC. The money trail crosses his path, too. In politics, you entrap everyone who has talent and/or is well positioned. And the Clinton turned themselves into a bank, more or less, but with no oversight. They can bribe anyone on earth and draw funds from multiple sources laundering money through HSBC, which loops back to Comey as the gatekeeper. He makes sure the key players are never indicted. Why would Comey do this? The Shadow Government is why. And what organization actually is the shadow government? I know some of you know. John Corsi is working on a book re the Foundation, and according to a source within the FBI, Corsi is on a hot trail. But Comey is a gatekeeper, not a crime fighter. Most of us know but at least 40% or so Americans are still on the dark about what is going on,and if they are brief about it,I am sure none of those would vote for Hillary Nope its the Clinton Foundation NO CLUE how you reach the conclusion that Kerrys visit is unsanctioned. Bush,Clinton,Bush,Obama and their Administration are all Fraud and so Corrupted Congress?White House DC whatever you call it needs a Complete Overhaul,Clean it all out get rid of all corrupt employees included,and start with a new system that works and hope,during Obama Adm. he doubled our deficit to now @ the amount of 20 Trillion Dollars and he still keep spending until he he is out,him and his family this year spend 100 million dollars on their trip to China,Kenya and a few other Countries that is your hard earned tax Dollars America This current US government must not be trusted. This is just another show so they look good, seeing that the elections are near and their deeds are becoming evidence for all to see. The Lord said that you will know them by their fruit (deeds), that means its not what they say, sound or look like. The US constant meddling has brought so much death and suffering to un told amount of people. Time travel bandit causing havoc across wide spectrum. they are always lying,they never tell the American people what they are up too,and the Bias News Media are told what to tell the public, The whole Negros administration is phony and unraveling. Nobody has a clue to what is going on because of their belief in lieberalism which is not based on reality or logic. Just look at what the negro is saying about terrorism, ISIS, cops, so-called white racism but no mention of negro racism, etc. You are looking at a keystone cop administration of the sodomite. Tragic, yet comical at the same time. Obama is not here to have a successful American presidency. He has an assignment, an agenda. His mission and instructions are to do everything he can to dilute the wealth, strength and cohesion of the American people. Unless America breaks, the NWO will not attain full strength. Obama will leave office with Americans fighting in the streets. And if Obama does a good job diluting America, he has a shot at the brass ring of globalism. He wont get it. You can be sure that his handlers and owners hate his effeminate guts. But he was an ideal candidate following Bush. Its a freak show in DC and London. Absolute political chaos. Was he informing Putin that the November elections will be suspended due to a national emergency? That was the first thing that popped into my head. Right now, we have the most corrupt lying govt in the history of the us, trying not to do the conspiracy thing HAHAHA. The only way youll understand whats going on is conspiracy The speaker at the 9 minute mark is getting help from someone. His long pauses are too long. He is listening to someone, I am almost certain of it. He has an earpiece stuffed down in his ear canal and someone is giving him words to say so that he does not blow it. The woman taking questions at the beginning is also extremely stressed in her responses, being so cautious that she appears to be in an SNL skit. So Russia does know something, and Russia is also preparing for a fast, catastrophic war. Maximum casualties, a first strike that will break America. But the Obama admin wants to play this carefully so as not to look beaten. Observe Kerrys eye movements early in the vid. He is head down, eyes up evaluating as much as he can from facial expressions of others. He walked in whipped and scared. Yes, he is scared. And that porcine sluht (sp) beside him is a snake that the Russians utterly despise. I am surprised they let her in the room. Bringing her would only strengthen Russias resolve, and was a big mistake. Yes I was flip, but sometimes you have to laugh or else youll scream. Saddams fate will do, I wouldnt wish on her what she did to Qaddafi. We cannot feel guilty about being flip. It will save us from agony in these times. Yes. Another leader assassinated by US radicals. I read today about John Kennedy Jr. thinking about running for the NY Senate, and he suddenly dies in a plane accident. Hillary runs. She and Bill are serial murderers. Anyone that knows too much or gets in their way. Kind of like Obamas fascination with drones. I also read that the Hacker Gucifer? was found dead in his jail cell. If I were Putin, Id avoid ever even shaking Obamas handor ANY of his minions. We have to get these killers OUT of our government, and caged. Maybe well have to bring back public execution, and have a large egg timer. Fireworks made legal for this special occasion. Media coverage for the rest of the corrupt bunch. LIke the French Revolution contained in a comeback for the Rule of Law. A Souffle. Where is Carlin when you need him? YES YES YES!! Carlinsigh!! You are my newest heroin. My other is Trey Gowdy who is leaving the world of politics, duh!! Me thinks I am going to follow yougrins.! 
3	Chemtrail Activist Patrick Roddie Testifies Before the EPABy Peter A. Kirby Here is a link to the entire hearing: Check out Patrick Roddies website http://stopsprayingus-sf.com Image Credit Peter Kirby is a San Rafael, CA researcher, writer and activist. Check out his ebook Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project. Follow Peter on Twitter @PeterAKirby Im all for this, but youre testifying in front of the EPA that more or less accidentally (hahahaha) spilled all the toxic waste into the Animas river. The same people who are more concerned about your charcoal grill than the massive radiation plume from Fukushima. They seem more interested in Superfund money than protecting anything for the citizenry We just do the best we can. If the people on the other end of the deal dont do what they are supposed to do, then that is on them. Not only that, but if the people on the other end of the deal (the EPA) dont do what they are supposed to, then they may be in trouble. I understand that the EPA says that they dont have jurisdiction over military aircraft, but that is putting the wagon before the horse. The EPA firstly needs to investigate THE ELEVATED LEVELS OF ALUMINUM AND BARIUM CONSISTENTLY SHOWING UP IN RAINWATER SAMPLES. After that investigation is complete, then we can talk about sources. Like Patrick said, the EPA needs to simply do their job. If they dont, they should be defunded. Has the EPA ever done 100% of their job? If they dont do their job, and are then defunded. does that solve anything? It would be a step in the right direction. I totally agree with you, Peter the EPA must simply do its job and if it doesnt, it must then be defunded NO EXCUSES Post proof of THE ELEVATED LEVELS OF ALUMINUM AND BARIUM CONSISTENTLY SHOWING UP IN RAINWATER SAMPLES. Since you apparently need me to hold your hand on this one, here you go: Rabid dog rums amuck, organization tasked with controlling the rabid dog, was created by the Rabid dog, gets its funding from the rabid dog. Now i want all who believe the EPA is going to ANYTHING about any of the things the Rabid Dog is up to, to hold their breath until it happens. I will cheer you on! Exactly! I knew in my heart of hearts the very moment I heard about this horrible toxic spill that the EPA had caused this intentionally, in order to declare a multizillion-dollar superfund site, where all the usual crony capitalists who sup at the public teat could get a nice payday out of cleaning up this accident. They are really fooling very few people these days. True the EPA is controlled and captured, however, this should be viewed as one of many strategies to get maximum exposure for the purpose of creating a tipping point of awareness. Some scientists within the EPA could become emboldened enough to speak out. Herndon has also blazed a trail. Wow, this thing is taking off like a rocket! Patrick, we have created a monster! Once again, please log in and up vote legitimate comments while down voting the droppings left by the hapless shills. The establishment backed trolls are falling in confusion. This issue is going mainstream. We can do this. Hapless shills: those with different opinions from your own. I wonder if youre a Democrat! LOL! Do you ever look up or just down because you are ashamed of yourself ? Its incredible how many shills have infiltrated the internet. 10 years ago it was nothing like this, we could speak openly about this sort of thing. Now the waters are muddied with thousands of liars who are paid to sit there and spew propaganda. Its really quite depressing. Take this Defiant clown above me as an good example. Always trying to shift the attention away to something else: I wonder if youre a Democrat!, always trying to make everything seem like a big joke: LOL!. Their tactics are blatantly obvious, and theyre everywhere. Pathetic low life scum. You really think everybody that disagrees with your lies is a paid shill? Paranoia has addled your brain. Patrick Roddie and the rest will be rightly ignored by the EPA. This was a hearing about real pollution, and they turned up and talked nonsense about chemtrails and geoengineering. Geoengineering is not and never has been carried out anywhere in the USA, so how can the EPA do anything about it? No, not just shills. I think there are a lot of morons out there too, like you for example. Group think has addled your brain. Learn to think for yourself, you might learn something for once in your naive and ignorant existence. Learn to think for yourself? Thats rich, coming from someone who unquestioningly parrots the chemtrail myth. Thinking for yourself does not mean letting YouTube videos do the thinking for you. It means using your brain. Try it some time. Dont worry, youll figure it out eventually. Youll figure it out when you grow up, and realise that nobody has been killed by contrails. Ever. Dont be angry, everything will be okay. Whether youre shill or not, how can you deny what you can see with your own eyes?? I dont deny what I see with my eyes. I live under a busy air traffic route and I see contrails. Lots and lots of them some days. I made the italian translation of your testifying in front of EPA and is now on many Italian facebook anti geoengineering pages and on my FB wall. TNX Patrick I posted the links to Patricks and the other anti chemtrail activists EPA Testimony in to this article that I just wrote http://ymlp.com/zikz74 where I also posted the link to the EPAs website encouraging everyone to file their own comments to the EPA to demand they take action to stop the spraying. I posted my own comments, and encouraged people to either echo mine, or post their own. I also provided a lot of info about detoxification so people can protect themselves from chemtrails. Please see my archived e-alerts at http://ymlp.com/archive_gjbeuhgjgu.php and if youd like to subscribe to my double opt in list, you can at http://www.iahf.com Flower seeds? GMO? Could you be more accurate and give examples? Patrick went on record about the hard evidence showing the mountains of metal raining down upon us and this Projects massive environmental fallout. That hard evidence doesnt actually show anything but that the metal is there. It does nothing to prove jets are spraying it into the sky. At all. another non-thinking sheep. Ever play follow the leader? I bet your an expert. For all you dumbfu#ks, like above, who failed math and science.please create a box model and determine the amount of chemicals that would have to be released in the air to create a harmful concentration to animals and humans. Since there is never any fallout recorded from supposed chemtrail spraying, the concentrations must be low (if youre talking particulates). You will see from a mass balance perspective, that millions of tons of chemicals would have to be released to create an airborne concentration in a hypothetical box (height x width x length) that is unhealthy to humans. Since demand for those chemicals would be extremely high, perhaps you can tell me what metal or chemicals have skyrocketed in price over the past 10 years. None! In fact, most commodities like metals are at all-time low prices. The idiot above is a perfect example of a troll or the typical uneducated ignorant american. I worked on behalf of industry (across the table from the USEPA) for 18 years as a toxicologist which entailed analyzing potential health risks to humans from exposure to chemicals in the environment. Once again, you have no clue nor will you ever. I suggest schooling and intense research into mathmatics, environmental science, atmospheric modeling, chemistry and toxicology. They are not indiscriminately dropping chemicals on you. If you turn your brain on you will realize that no one can be eliminated from this type of potential exposures, including the supposed culprits behind your myth. If your brain was turned on you would realize the bigger issue is those chemicals found in food and water including GMOs. You are easily distracted hitman which makes your kind the fools among us. The fools that believe myths and act on them. Fools that ruin it for those of us who understand. Thats why we will have a hard time winning against them.because of fools like you who believe whatever you are told and have no capacity for critical thinking. The best you can do for all of us is remove yourself from social discussion on matters you know nothing about. Have we totally lost our sense of humor here? Eunsah is joking about how oblivious weve become to the obviousi.e., arent those crazy lines in the sky beautiful? Theyre so artistically done, how could they possibly hurt us? He is either addressing deniers that they even exist, or those who refuse to see them, or to those who see them but adamantly insist they are contrails. Only the best of intentions can be attributed to whatever entity has commandeered our , skiesthey must be the good guys, just like the USA always wears a white hat. Therefore, expect a big crop of beautiful flowers full of resurrected disappearing bees and new trees sprouting up to replace all those that have died for no reason, the oceans returning to normal, the rivers cleansing themselvesall due to there being no spraying of the skies. What a wonderful world! Now, if hes NOT joking, hes a shill and we have a real problem here. The EPA is quite aware of whats been falling from the skies for years. They are, after all, a federal agency, and therefore in the know. Patrick Roddie has joined the other fraudsters by fleecing money from the gullible followers on Gofundme. Wake up chemtrail sheeple, these guys know exactly what they are doing. Ive been speaking out for years to my family about this and they are finally starting to wake up and realize that something is amiss about our skies while commuting/driving to work. You can even smell it in the air on some days. In that case, Paul, that agency sorely needs to change its name to something other than Environmental Protection Agency a good name for this entity would be Pollution Protection Agency Now that would definitely be the correct name for it, since it protects polluters such as geo-engineering entities. It boils down to this. Will the police and military turn on the elite? The answer is a few but not enough. We have to have the brute force might to physically stop this from happening and we dont have it. Were sitting ducks. Americans will do anything the elite ask them for enough money. The funny part is they just kill you after you do it so you never get a chance to spend the money anyway. Idiots. Any nation born through genocide and slavery deserves the same fate. And no it wasnt whites that did it. Jewish elites did and then lied about in history books, on TV and the internet. The worst part is we all believed the lies. Thats how we got here. YOU ARE IN THE MATRIX!!!! Its not just a movie. Wake up. Its take one day to reverse this if we are all on board. Think about it.all this damage and we cant stop it that soon but the global Jewish elite and their servants have to be arrested, tried and executed..If not executed then isolated forever. If not we are all going to die..soon. And why do you think a video of persistent contrails would be of interest to anybody? They have been common knowledge for 75 years now. Get with the 21st century. Patrick, when will you correct all of the multiple errors in your report? Water changing phase from vapour to ice does not equal shit. Moron. Hilarious. 
3	How To Free Your Tax CattleBy James Corbett 
3	Fannie And Freddie Are Headed For Another BailoutDave Kranzler Now the Inspector Generals Federal Housing Finance Agency has issued a warning that both FNM/FRE are headed for another bailout, which is no surprise to me: Future profitability is far from assured, Federal Housing Finance Agency Office of Inspector General said in a report, pointing out that the firms could again chalk up losses on their derivatives portfolios, similar to those they reported in the fourth quarter. This increases the likelihood of additional Treasury investment, the report stated. Reuters (LINK) Similar to when Fannie was plugged full of derivatives under former CEO Franklin Raines who by the way had no clue how catastrophic the situation was and should be in jail but instead received a $100 million youre fired severance agreement the Government has once again looked the other way while Wall Street unloaded another avalanche of derivatives onto FNM/FRE. Once again the Taxpayers will pay for this. This is not a warning this is a get ready here it comes statement. The fact is that most of FNM/FREs profitability has been driven by the same fraudulent mark to model accounting that has generated most the big bank profits since 2009. And the Government used this fraudulent accounting to suck money out of FNM/FRE. The improved balance sheet has enabled both FNM/FRE to issue debt to investors. The money raised has been used reload their mortgage holdings and for dividend payback payments to the Treasury. FNMs CEO warned of the possibility of another bailout in February, after announcing FNMs smallest dividend payment to the Treasury in more than four years. This is not a warning its an inevitability. The housing market is set to re-collapse, which will blow-up both Fannie and Freddie once again.

3	Miami-Dade PD Releases Information about Its Drone Program; Will the FAA Follow Suit?Jennifer Lynch The records the Miami-Dade PD released include the Federal Aviation Administration-issued Certificate of Authorization (COA) to fly the MDPD drones. This appears to be the first time a law enforcement agency has made its COA available to the public without redactions. The COA and the other records EFF received show that Miami-Dades drone program is quite limited in scope. The two small drones the MDPD is flyingHoneywell T-Hawksare able to fly up to 10,000 feet high, can record video or still images in daylight or infrared, and can Hover and stare; [and] follow and zoom, (pdf) according to the manufacturer. However, the COA limits their use to flights below 300 feet. The drones also must remain within visual line of sight of both a pilot and an observer and can only be flown during the day. They cannot be flown within the Miami city limits or over any high-rise buildings, populated beaches, outdoor assemblies of people, or heavily trafficked roadways (which seems to severely limit their range). Also, the MDPD has stated it doesnt use the drones to record incidents or store image files and that the drone is set up to clear[] the picture upon the next picture being captured. (It is not clear from MDPDs records whether the department has another system set up to retain the image files.) Although EFF would like to see the MDPD incorporating court oversight into its use of drones, we commend the department for following the example of the Texas Department of Public Safety and being forthcoming about its drone program. We hope the FAA will use these agencies as a model as it prepares its response to EFFs lawsuit and Freedom of Information Act request for copies of all COAs the agency has issued to fly drones domestically.

2	Chris Mathews Says GOP Ruined Evening By Having Benghazi Victims Mother Speak [VIDEO] In a recent segment, MSNBCs Chris Matthews claimed the RNC ruined the first night of its convention by including the mother of Benghazi State Department employee Sean Smith in the speaker lineup. For all of this loss, for all of this grief, for all of the cynicism the tragedy in Benghazi has wrought upon America, I blame Hillary Clinton, Patricia Smith commented during her speech. I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son. The comments were powerful, but Matthews wasnt buying them. I dont understand why the Republicans would choose to put this on primetime television, when they have such wonderful stories of American heroism to speak to the American people, Matthews commented. I think it was wrong, I dont care what that woman up therethe motherhas felt. Her emotions are her own. But for the country, in choosing a leader, its wrong to have someone up there and tell a lie about Hillary Clinton. Its not true. Its logically not true and manifestly not true. And I think its wrong they ruined their evening with this. Last night was not the first time Smith has gone after Hillary. On several occasions she has stated that Hillary told her personally when her sons body arrived at Andrews Air Force base in 2012 that a video was the cause of the attack. Other victims family members have stated the same. Emails released during Select Committee on Benghazi hearings later revealed that Hillary knew the night of the terrorist strikes that they were unrelated to the video. Clinton lied to me, then called me a liar! Smith exclaimed. She looked me squarely in the eye and told me a video was responsible. Smith also claims that the night before the attack, Sean, told her, Mom, Im going to die. All security had been pulled from the embassy. When he asked why, he never received a response, Smith continued. Nobody listened. Nobody seemed to care. Smith then offered her endorsement for Trump. Donald Trump is everything Hillary Clinton is not. He is blunt direct and strong. He speaks his mind and his heart, she commented. He will make America stronger, not weaker. This entire campaign comes down to a single question: If Hillary Clinton cant give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	The Real Truth About Jeb Bush, CIA SociopathBy Luke Rudkowski His middle name is Ellis,not Elias.Otherwise, good info. Look in the dictionary under evil minions, and the Bushes get honorable mention. Only satanists who are socialpaths (no empathy, huge/mega ego) can reach top positions! Excellent job Luke, continue to expose these criminals and their connection to the Fourth Reich. More needs to be done to reveal the inner workings of their relationship with the alien/military/industrial/complex (AMIC). Another aspect that is missed is the alien (humanoid and non-humanoid) barter for technology. Here is the story of torture at its most insidious, the horror of an expendable populace. The epitome of sociopathy is the politician who is willing to trade children for better war toys. Quote: Well know our disinformation campaign is complete when, everything the American people believe is false. William Casey Director CIA As George Carlin, the great American hero stated: Its just one big club and you arent in it. As always Luke, you are the man! Nailing those demonic bastards is what you do best ! Oh Edward, you love your fiction dont you. Try the real world for a change sometime. 
1	LAKE CHARLES, LAUnbeknownst to him, 27-year-old Ron DuPree attended the last great party of his life Saturday, as a 3 a.m. coupling with girlfriend Tamara Harris will result in a child nine months from now. 'That was the best party ever,' DuPree said to friends on Monday, oblivious to the seed of life now growing in his soon-to-be-wife's womb. 'I was so wasted! God, Tamara and I have to start getting out on the weekends again.' In addition to enjoying his last great party, DuPree will also soon bid farewell to liquor, cigarettes, and most of his current friendships. 
1	After watching his beloved Seattle Mariners prevail against the San Diego Padres, third-grader Timmy Hastert was moved to ask his father, 46-year-old insurance salesman Christopher Hastert, why interleague play is 'good.' 'Well, it lets people see the teams they normally don't get to see all that often, I think is the point, there, buddy,' Hastert said after beginning three different sentences in seven minutes. 'After all, without interleague play, we wouldn't get to see players like like Brian Giles and Scott [Linebrink], would we? Although I think we play the Yankees and Red Sox less often as a result. Right? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how they do it.' In a moving but ultimately doomed effort to give his impressionable boy the right messages, Christopher also attempted to answer Timmy's questions regarding why only the American League has a DH, why and how the All-Star game now 'counts,' what performance-enhancing drugs are, and how baseball officials could have sat idly by when they knew there was a major steroid problem in their sport. 
2	Obama Claims Enemies Arent Getting Stronger, But Joint Chiefs Faces Say Otherwise President Barack Obama delivered his final State of the Union speech on Tuesday and, true to fashion, he did not address America without insulting people along the way. Obama clearly mocked the Joint Chiefs of Staff regarding their concerns about America and our military strength. He criticized all the rhetoric you hear about our enemies getting stronger and America getting weaker. Let me tell you something, he continued. The United States of America is the most powerful nation on earth. Period. Period. Its not even close. Its not even close! Obama has been the first to deny that America is at risk, but experts say otherwise. And all you need is one look of the Chiefs on Staff after Obamas comments to see it all. While the rest of the crowd broke out into applause, the military men sat stone-faced. Clearly, they are fed up with Obama and his efforts to weaken and limit our military. What do you think? Do we need a real leader as our Commander in Chief? 
2	Thugs Let Their Dog Literally Eat Alive Their Elderly Neighbor Two women in their late twenties and early thirties were sentenced to more than a year in prison, after their starving dog attacked their elderly neighbor, literally eating them alive. Clifford Clarke, a 79-year-old man was attacked by the dog and received fatal injuries. Owners Hayley Sulley, 30, and Della Woods, 29, had left their dog unharnessed while they were cooking dinner. Officers who arrived at the scene determined that Clarkes injuries were the worst thing [they] have ever seen. The two women were reprimanded by Judge Brown, who told them, Mr. Clarke suffered a horrific death and you have taken away from his family the love and companionship he would have provided. I am satisfied this dreadful and forceful attack on Mr. Clarke was entirely avoidable. What do you think about the incident? Should the two women be punished for animal abuse and murder? Is a year of punishment enough? 
2	Youll Cheer When You See How A STL Bar Responds To Rams Hands Up Gesture Recently, a bar in St. Louis made the decision to start boycotting the Rams following the incident in which five players entered the field with their hands in the air, symbolizing the hands up, dont shoot statement made by protestors in Ferguson. According to reports, Time Out Bar Grill, which has supported the Rams for a long time and held happy hours during games, announced to their Facebook fans that they would no longer support the team or air their games. Due to the bone headed hands up, dont shoot act by the number of Rams players on the Sunday game the Time Out Bar Grill will no longer support the St. Louis Rams, so we will no longer have Happy hours for the Rams games and all signs and pictures will be off the walls. We have to stand up to thugs who destroy our community and burn down local businesses, and boycott the other thugs/organizations who support them, the post read. What do you think about the boycott? Do you agree with the bar? 
2	Muslims Refugees Refuse To Enter Into Shelter, Demand They Be Given Apartments [VIDEO] Europe is quickly becoming an example of what can go wrong when too many refugees enter your country. Christians are quickly becoming the minority in their own countries, and Muslims who have fled to the continent from the Middle Easy are taking over. Germany recently announced that they intend to take a limit of 500,000 asylum seekers every year. Now, its clear they are regretting that decision. A new video has been released showing Muslim refugees being brought to a shelter in Germany, but they refer to go inside. This is not comfortable enough, thats just a gym! the Muslims are shown screaming. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this a warning for America?

'Dude, it totally looks like it would have been on Dean Martin's coffee table,' discoverer Marc Reiss told friend Scott Ratner. 'It's green ceramic and triangular, and it's huge.' The ashtray's most perfect detail, Reiss said, which more than justifies its $2 purchase price, is a raised center featuring a full 12 cigarette notches.

3	17 Fake Cell Phone Towers Discovered Across U.S.Chris Carrington These are just a few of the questions Les Goldsmith, Chief Executive of the security company ESD America, wants answered. Talking to Popular Science magazine Mr Goldsmith said: One of our customers took a road trip from Florida to North Carolina and he found eight different interceptors on that trip. We even found one at a casino in Las Vegas. What we find suspicious is that a lot of these interceptors are right on top of US military bases So we begin to wonder are some of them US government interceptors? Or are some of them Chinese interceptors? Whose interceptor is it? Who are they, thats listening to calls around military bases? Is it just the US military, or are they foreign governments doing it? The point is: we dont really know whose they are. According to Sky News US: They were discovered by people using a heavily customised Android device called the CryptoPhone 500. It uses a secure version of the software which can tell if the phone is being subjected to what is known as a baseband attack. It is then possible to trace the location of the offending tower. The fake cell towers were detected in July, but the report states there could be more. You can read the whole article in Popular Science here.

3	Why Are Millions Of Fish Suddenly Dying In Mass Death Events All Over The Planet?Michael Snyder If there is a connection, is there anything that we can do to stop the fish die-off? Sadly, because the big mainstream news networks in the United States have been virtually silent about this phenomenon, most Americans have absolutely no idea that it is happening. Millions of fish are dying in mass death events every single month and most of the public is totally clueless. Please share the list posted below with as many people as you can. This list was originally started by Frank DiMora, but I have edited it and expanded it. If there were just three or four items on this list, you could dismiss these news stories as coincidences, but taken together this list really is quite startling July 18, 2013: 20 acres of fish ponds full of dead fish in Shandong, China July 18, 2013: Hundreds of dead Stingrays wash ashore in Veracruz, Mexico July 18, 2013: 10,000 lbs of dead fish found in a lake in Nanjing, China July 18, 2013: Thousands of fish dead from lack of rain in Sugar Lake, Missouri July 18, 2013: Large numbers of fish washing up on the shores of Lake Michigan July 19, 2013: 2,000 dead fish found in a lake in Vollsmose, Denmark July 19, 2013: THOUSANDS OF TONS of fish have died in Lake Tondano, Indonesia July 20, 2013: 3,000 fish found dead in a creek in Madison County, Ohio July 21, 2013: Hundreds of fish found dead in a creek in Laille, France July 22, 2013: Hundreds of dead fish found in Lake George, Massachusetts July 22, 2013: Large fish kill at Grand Lake in St. Marys, Ohio July 23, 2013: Hundreds of dead fish in a park pond in Youngstown, Ohio July 24, 2013: Massive fish kill washes up in a lagoon in Venice, Italy July 24, 2013: Thousands of dead fish in Lake Bulwell causes shock in Nottingham, England July 24, 2013: 30,000 fish dying PER DAY in fish farms in Ratchaburi Province, Thailand July 24, 2013: Masses of dead fish found in River Lea in England July 24, 2013: Hundreds of dead fish found in Provo River, Utah July 25, 2013: Hundreds of fish found dead in a park pond in Birmingham, England July 26, 2013: Hundreds of thousands of fish dying from red tide in South Korea July 26, 2013: Thousands of dead fish found floating in River Dender, Ath, Belgium July 26, 2013: Mass fish die-off in a river in Moscow, Russia July 26, 2013: 25,000 dead fish is a mystery in Pittville Lake in Gloucestershire, England July 26, 2013: 20,000 fish die along a 5 mile stretch of river in Jiangshan, China July 27, 2013: 10,000 dead fish found in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania July 27, 2013: Mass death of fish is a mystery in a river in Skane, Sweden July 27, 2013: Large fish kill in the Bahlui river, cause unknown in Romania July 28, 2013: 1100 King Salmon found dead in a river in Petersburg, Alaska July 29, 2013: Hundreds of dead fish wash ashore due to pollution on beach in Veracruz, Mexico July 29, 2013: 7 TONS of dead fish recovered from the Keelung river in Taiwan July 29, 2013: Thousands of fish die due to heat and storms in Handsworth Park, Birmingham, England July 31, 2013: 3 TONS of fish die due to lack of oxygen in a river in Pilsen, Czech Republic August 2, 2013: Thousands of fish dying all over Alaska August 6, 2013: Up to 1000 lbs of dead fish washed ashore in Ylane, Finland August 6, 2013: 840 dead Salmon found in a creek in Port Coquitlam, Canada August 6, 2013: Hundreds of dead fish lining the shore of a pond in Toronto, Canada August 6, 2013: 100,000 fish die in the Arkansas River August 7, 2013: Thousands of dead fish found floating in a river in Hangzhou, China August 8, 2013: Tons of fish washed up on the shores of Karachi, Pakistan August 8, 2013: Tens of thousands of fish dying in lakes and rivers all over the U.K. And remember, the list compiled above represents less than a one month period. The truth is that we have been seeing massive fish die-offs all over the globe month after month. So why is this happening? Is there anything we can do to stop it?

1	We received thousands of viewers mails about Judge Lemont's decision that 16-year-old Hannah Stevenson will be tried as a black adult. Here's what U-Say about the ruling: 'Hannah does not deserve this. No matter how bad her crime may have been, she is still white and attractive.' --Gary L., Chula Vista, CA 'Hannah does not deserve this. At most she should have been tried as a shifty-looking Asian.' --Adam V., Sterling Heights, MI 'Hannah needs to have the full force of the wildly unbalanced justice system brought down on her.' --Deon, Sunnyvale, CA 'The sentence should have been even harsher. Hannah should have been sent to a secret tribunal and tried as a Muslim.' --Carrie P., Reno, NV 'Hannah should be happy they didnt give her a teardrop tattoo before going on trial.' --Kenny S., Peoria, AZ 'The sentence should have been even harsher. Hannah should have been tried in Arizona as a Mexican.' --Pamela K., Spencer, WI 'This ruling not fair. She was clearly possessed by Satan. That is the only way my brain can reconcile my preconceived notions about her race, age, and class with her act of horrific violence.' --Art, Grand Oaks, WA 
1	I left the convention yesterday hungry and bored. I couldn't find a single decent kiosk of fast food open for business in the whole Xcel Center. Whoever's in charge over there sure hasn't earned the label 'X-Cellent,' let me tell you! Although this Republican City of Twins has put its best foot forward in welcoming all of us in the Press Corps, I can't say much for the prospects of their party if no one shows up at their convention. Maybe they should build a nicer stadiumthat strategy works like a charm for our great Ball Clubs around the nation. Perhaps if they harness the awesome spirit of Abe Lincoln, they could build the first Log Cabin Stadium. But any hesitation in getting it built before November will surely spell doom at the polls. Anyway, I decided that today I'd head over to 'The Con' early and get all of my reporting out of the way in the morning so I could take the rest of the day off. I've been working like a dog and I don't mind telling you readers that the Big Cheeses aren't paying me enough to put up with this crap 24 hours a day. Again, all is quiet on the Northwestern Front. But a good reporter can't wait for the story to come to him, he must search it out. I decided to begin my quest in the press area of the not-long-for-this-world X-Cel Center. Amidst the hacks and wannabes, I found the USA Today press section: I've tried for decades to work for the Gannett Gods, but never made the cut. I'm not bitter. Their high standards is exactly why I yearn to work for them in the first place. I'm happy with my career, but just once I'd love a shot at being a Contenderat being the USA Today Cartoonist. I stepped into their press zone, hoping to make a connection (it's all who you know in this biz) or at least share a friendly chat with my USA Today colleagues (we're all in this Convention Hell together, after all). They asked me to leave, but they were very nice about it. I take that as a sign from above a sign of encouragement. I'll keep trying. Journalists like persistence. It shows I'm serious. In fact I'll keep circling around their booth, step in and out and wave to them occasionally. That will keep me on their mind. Maybe I'll bring them some coffee, give them some compliments on today's editionmaybe even some pointers on how they could improve the USA Today. It's not everyone who would take the time to thoughtfully share some free advice. I'll keep at it. The important thing is to make a good impression. See Kelly's Editorial Cartoons Here

2	Black Lives Matter Protesters Get Instant Justice After Blocking Traffic On The Highway In the last term of Barack Obamas presidency, weve seen many protests turn violent. So far, our President has had very little to say about the looting of businesses and the blocking of traffic on highways. A prime group known for abusing the right to protest is the Black Lives Matter movement, who claim be fighting for social justice. Despite their intentions, they seem to be doing more harm than good. Our country is more divisive now than it has ever beenand property damage, injury, and even death should never be a legal way to protest. In Massachusetts recently, BLM protesters blocked a highway to protest a shooting. In the process, an ambulance that was rushing to the hospital with an 82-year-old man was not able to pass. The protesters were not charged with any crimes. It was a different story in Richmond, Virginia. Protesters stood in a line on Interstate 95 and chanted, No justice, no peace, no racist police! They were all arrested within an hour and the roads were cleared. All those involved have plead guilty and will be sentenced for endangering themselves and others. What do you think? Is this the way our legal system should work? 
1	German chancellor Angela Merkel once again gave an exclusive interview to The selfnews Tuesday, stating that the publication's undying commitment to journalistic excellence makes it the only newspaper she trusts. 'What I like about your organizationno, what I admire and respect about itis that while The selfnews is unerringly fair, it also never lets me off the hook and always holds me accountable for my actions,' said Merkel, who then launched, unprompted, into an extended tirade against the Pulitzer Board, referring to its members as 'hack journalists' and 'scum-sucking sycophants' to whom she would never give the time of day. 'Whenever I do interviews for other publications, I feel embarrassed for them. It must be awful, because they know that no matter how hard they work, they won't ever come close to what The selfnews has achieved. You call yourselves America's Finest News Source. I would go one step further. I would say you are the World's Finest News Source.' Merkel spent the next few hours speaking off the record about financial reform, explaining that she was desperate for the kind of clear-eyed, expert advice she could only receive from selfnews reporters. 
3	Girl Scouts and Girl Guides take on GMO cookiesRady Ananda This time, girls are getting in on opposition to genetically modified foods by demanding their organizations only sell organic or at the very least, GMO-free cookies. In February of this year, Alicia Serratos of Orange County, California started a petitionto get Girl Scouts of the USA to sell GMO-free cookies. Shes gathered over 10,000 signatures so far, and wants 100,000. Mostly, she wants GMO-free cookies. Heres the darling video she produced when she reached the myriad mark: Maya Fischer of Victoria, British Columbia, liked what Alicia did and repeated the petition for Girl Guides of Canada. Already she has nearly 30,000 signatures. Girl Guides teaches girls about healthy living, respect for the environment taking action for a better world, explains the Canadian petition. The fundraising cookies use genetically modified corn, canola, soy and sugar beets. The idea is just gross, Maya told TC. Usually corn doesnt make pesticides, for instance. Usually a tomato doesnt cross with a fish. It doesnt make sense. Unlike Girl Scouts USA, Girl Guides of Canada entirely ignores the question of pushing GMOs. But, the Girl Scouts USA website states: That may be tragic, but the next statement is outright false, and straight out of the biotech industrys talking points playbook: That an organization as influential as the Girl Scouts would be so woefully misinformed (at best) demands response. In a detailed look at hunger in America, the USDAs own figures show that since the introduction of GMO crops in 1996, the number and percent of people considered food insecure has grown. With nearly 20 years of opportunity, GMO crops have not reduced hunger in America, or anywhere else in the world. In fact, the percentage of hungry has grown. The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Olivier de Shutter, recognizes that ag productivity is not the problem. The world produces enough food. The problem is over a billion of us cant afford it. This expert calls it a price-crisis, not a food-crisis. Food speculation on the commodities market is a major problem, not production, so de Shutter is calling for global regulation on food speculation: F. William Engdahl is but one of many writers condemning the deregulation of derivatives markets, which create false booms and busts, especially in food commodities. In a detailed discussion of the issue, he summarizes the problem: De Shutter promotes agroecology to meet the worlds food needs. The green revolution a cynical euphemism for millions of monocropped GMO acres with their attendant toxic chemicals needs to be replaced with agroecology, multiple and varied crops run in sync with nature instead of trying to chemically or genetically dominate nature. The world needs a paradigm shift in agricultural development from a green revolution to an ecological intensification approach, the UN said in its latest food security report: (Trade and Environment Review 2013) Wake up before it is too late: Make agriculture truly sustainable now for food security in a changing climate. Beside the access issue, Girl Scouts USA seems completely ignorant of the dozens of studies showing organ damage, fertility problems, small brain and liver development, cancer, shorter lifespan, and spontaneous abortions, all related to GM crops and their attendant toxic chemicals. Plus, we cannot ignore the environmental impact of dousing our lands with billions of tons of those toxic chemicals every year. GE crops require those chemicals, an unsustainable practice that is sickening all of us, reducing the worlds pollinator populations and destroying our land, water and air. Heres a brief sampling of scientific studies revealing the dangers of and problems with GE foods: In addition to signing both the Canadian and USA petitions, you can send the above list (and supplement it, too!) to the Girl Scouts, and to cookies(@)girlguides(dot)ca. Meanwhile, other mothers and girls are getting involved, too, by refusing to sell GMO cookies. GMO Inside offers alternatives: Or, we can just ask the top executives to step down so that more enlightened leaders run these organizations, maybe some folks who get their news outside corporate-run media, or folks who have the barest glimmer of understanding about the failed chemical farming paradigm. With the Monsanto Protection Act failing to get renewed, and hedge funds dumping Monsanto stock, some people do understand that a return to sustainable food production is on the horizon. Surely, organizations that teach our girls survivalism, proper nutrition and environmental care can sell healthy cookies that promote all three ideas.

1	The Footlight Dinner Theater's weekend production of Death Of A Salesman featured partially rewritten dialogue apparently intended to highlight the restaurant's $11.99 chicken dinner special, sources reported Wednesday. 'He's liked, but he's not well liked. Unlike that delicious rosemary chicken with fresh green peas and mashed potatoes, which everyone loves,' the actor portraying Biff Loman said as part of the revised play. The last time the Footlight altered a legendary theatrical work to advertise a food item was in October 2006, when manager Harold Childress rewrote the lyrics to a song from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel and changed its title to 'What's The Use Of Wond'rin'? (Just Get The Lasagna).' 
1	Lamenting that there simply isnt enough time to properly analyze the infinite facets of the upcoming championship game, sources within sports media confessed to reporters Tuesday that they arent sure how they can possibly fit such a wide breadth of unique and entirely indispensable Super Bowl XLVIII coverage into just two short weeks. Youre telling me were supposed to somehow hit the thousands upon thousands of pertinent and absolutely vital topics accompanying this pivotal Seahawks-Broncos title matchup in only 14 daysare you kidding me?' said SportsCenter executive producer Mark Gross, estimating that it would, under normal circumstances, take him and his colleagues several years to even begin addressing such thought-provoking matters as how the cold temperatures at the Meadowlands could impact gameplay; Richard Shermans potentially hostile relationship with the Denver fans; and what a second ring might mean for Peyton Mannings legacy. As it stands, even with round-the-clock coverage between now and next Sunday, there are simply more angles than we can possibly address. Everything we wantnay, needto say about this game is all so very important, but we just dont have the time to give it the attention it deserves. Gross confirmed that the challenge of properly covering the Super Bowl will be made all the more difficult by sheer density of the material, which will inevitably force football pundits to repeat the same talking points dozens of times in the coming days. 
2	When American Business Owner Asked His Restaurant Employees To Speak English, Liberals Did THIS Lets make one thing clear: English is the national language of America. That is not an opinion; that is fact. So why are business owners facing criticism for asking their employees to speak English? Nobody knows, but such was the case for this restaurant owner who posted a sign in the kitchen telling employees not to speak Spanish near his customers. According to reports, customers had complained that employees were speaking Spanish at the front desk and throughout Bill Reeds Restaurant, so the owner attempted what he viewed as a necessary change in policy. Of course, both employees and liberals did not take the action lightly, claiming discrimination. I talk to my co-workers in Spanish, that makes me feel very upset not being able to talk to them in Spanish, one employee told reporters. I do feel discriminated. I know we are in America. We have to talk in English. At the same time, we speak Spanish, thats my first language. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a rule that required employees to only speak English at work is against the law, unless it is necessary for operating the business. What do you think? Should this restaurant owner have the right to ensure top notch customer service and meet their needs? 
3	Is This The End Of The U.S Dollar?By Luke Rudkowski It is, and America is about to get a RUDE awakening Always be a light that is .shininginthedark. This could be played countless ways. Global collapse, US collapse, select dominoes, or continued boiling frogs with the already *planned* transition into an IMF SDR basket with a heavily weighted dollar. A US collapse would be a hard slap on the backsides of the American sheeple, they might wake up! The new global digital currency is also planned to be backed by gold a good selling point, btw. Let cooler heads prevail. The global economy is dysfunctional for a reason = global austerity rounding the bend for Agenda 2030 edicts. Global Austerity. No more Kabuki theater please from the mainstream media. alert(hacked) Science, although it has discovered how things take place, is unable to explain why, and so many of our deepest questions remain unanswered. Stealing The American Workmans Stake for fast ROI ? fore the good of others? 12 + 1 = 13 12 disciples around one messiah in many religious fairy tales. Never more than 12, never less ! 12 spheres around one : Of coarse they dont want to divulge. The Saudis will then disclose the full US involvement. This is not about countries. Its the Freemason brotherhood to dupe and control the masses. freemason? You got that wrong teri! They support Burns Hospitals! You Google ! You see! So Shriners support hospitals. Doesnt mean a thing. Bring American business back to America. Give money to AMERICANS to enhance the American economy, and open the printing presses. We DO NOT need foreign trade! Expose the Saudis anyway. They have to conquer Europe first! I dont believe that will happen. of course amerika will ok the sueing of saudi arabia, it takes attention away from the real perpetraitors, the elite rothschild zio mafia. hope the sheeple wake up soon. Good time to buy Bitcoin. Americans live on others misery, thats a shame. 
3	GUARDIANSHIP: How Judges and Lawyers Steal Your MoneyBy Katherine Hine Setting the stage for Michael Larsens collection of personal accounts of escalating crimes against the elderly in probate courts, one typical story from the reference manual, GUARDIANSHIP, describes the techniques probate judges, attorneys and predatory guardians use to plunder the wealth of the elderly, destroying their remaining years: Kevin Gallagher had a trusted, long-standing pact with his beloved parents. When the time was right he would make arrangements for their safe return to Maine where they would reside in assisted living. That right time came unexpectedly one day after Sunday services when Robert and Elsa Gallagher became slightly disoriented in traffic when they happen chanced upon orange cones in a road detour. Kevin and Lisa, delighted to hear that their parents were ready to journey home, began making all the necessary arrangements. Kevin even phoned his estranged Orlando-based sister, Lori, and asked if she would simply telephone Mom and Dad during the interim. The sister, however, consulted the Yellow Pages and telephoned a company, Geriatric Care Management, that specializes in elder care. . . . [p. 31] Within 48 hours, a woman armed with a court order and accompanied by law enforcement, announced she was the emergency temporary guardian while she and her crew forcibly removed Kevins parents from their home and placed them in separate nursing facilities. Kevins first notification of this was a phone call from his mother, crying, her speech slurred from forced drugging. The time had become ripe for quick psychiatric evaluations of both parents. Suddenly the emergency temporary guardian was the permanent, plenary guardian over both Elsa and Robert. The fleecing and the feasting began. Instead of having his parents closer to him, Kevins next 3 years were filled with frantic scrambles to find Florida attorneys who would or could make the nightmare stop. The guardian hotly contested the Gallaghers desires to be together and was rewarded with generous attorney fees from the Gallaghers assets, courtesy of the probate judge. Eventually, once the assets were gone, the nightmare did stop. When his parents finally arrived in Maine with a single suitcase, Kevin found that inside it were tattered clothes with the names of other people in Magic Marker inside the clothes. Everything they had owned even their clothes had been sold or trashed by the guardian. Elsa and Robert died soon after their move to Maine. [pp. 31-32] Larsen, the editor of GUARDIANSHIP, is a businessman whose family experienced similar frustration and despair in probate court. He states that elder cleansing, a term coined by attorney Kenneth Ditkowsky, has escalated since the last Governmental Accountability Offices report published in 2010. With additional inspiration from Charles Pascals interview on View From the Bunker, Larsen organized contributors to address the GAOs request for a summary, resulting in this unique resource book for families, citizen activists and the general public, not to mention journalists and attorneys. It is written from the point of view of family members who have given their all to stop the torture, thievery, and often the killing of their elderly. This important reference work adds to what is already known about the greed of corrupt judges, attorneys, guardians and psycho-social hucksters on display in other judicial venues. Stories included in the book follow the same basic sequence of events: (1) allege that the target is in imminent danger to justify emergency temporary guardianship and the isolation of the target from his or her family all without even a pretense of a due process hearing; (2) employ a willing psychiatrist or other MD to prescribe the contra-indicated psychotropic drugs to propel the ward into a stupor just in time for the competence evaluation; (3) begin the feast by liquidating the targets non-liquid assets and looting everything in sight; and (4) continue looting until the target is killed by the premeditated over-drugging topped off with opiates. On occasion guardians can and do continue looting even after their victims death. Many of the contributors are also attorneys, professional journalists, and various other professionals, most of whom were powerless to stop the devastation in their own families. All seem to be deeply committed activists. Investigative journalist Janet Phelan describes the retaliation against attorneys Joanne Denison and Kenneth Ditkowsky both having been suspended from the practice of law for their truthful disclosures. Both had advocated for Mary Sykes and Alice Gore and exposed the fact that a guardian was even allowed to order Alices teeth to be mined for gold. [pp. 16-17] When another activist, Rebecca Schultz, helped her father move from the state where the guardian had been victimizing him, a bench warrant was reportedly issued for her arrest for not attending a court hearing in the matter, but she was never arrested. [p. 73] I found an unmistakable ring of truth in the horror stories, particularly the retaliations and judicial disregard of law. The experience of watching judges refuse to even read the pleadings or the statutes in black and white in front them resonated with my own experiences. As one contributor explained, when she questioned 5 separate instances of double charging during a California guardianship proceeding, Commissioner Carlos Velategui, a judicial officer, would not acknowledge the double charges existed, although they were right in front of him, undeniably so. In the absence of any kind of explanation from the guardians, what he was really saying was that he wasnt going to be bothered with details. [p. 145] The accounts in the book portray a certain inevitability as each contributor takes the reader through the formula that enables judges, lawyers, and guardians to isolate, medicate, take the estate often killing the ward in the process a seemingly additionally desired outcome. Some readers may find the steady drumbeat of outrage upon outrage repetitious certainly depressing, but I also found the commonalities to be essential to include in this work in order to drive home the enormity of the $36.48 billion dollar yearly tragedy for Americans individually, as families and for us as a country in that the [now destroyed] intergenerational transfer of assets has historically helped to strengthen our social and economic fabric. [p. 52] Each contributors story reveals through its personal, state-specific details that what we are seeing in guardianship court is no anomaly created by a few bad apples. Some 64% of probate courts responding to a federal agency survey indicated that guardianship abuse had become so flagrant they admitted having taken action against at least one guardian for misconduct in the previous three years. [p. 156] The National Association to Stop Guardianship Abuse [NASGA] estimates that some five million elders lose their life savings to the financial crimes of guardianship every year, a national tragedy that translates to an annual theft of some 2.6 billion. [p. 142]. The federal government has known about guardianship abuse at least since its 1987 report by a House subcommittee of the Select Committee on Aging. [p. 166] Yet to this day the problem seems to be barely studied. The statistics continue to not be kept consistently thus providing a further excuse for a court system that provides no oversight. [p. 166] A very few times a contributors style of writing yields a less than clear understanding of who did what and when. But in those instances a careful re-read usually resolves the confusion. Overall the impression that stuck with me after reading the book in two sittings was a sense of oppression and futility, but also hope that the enormity of the losses is such that more of the public will finally wake up, get off the couch, and get organized. The only inaccuracy or slight misinterpretation I found was the reference to the belief that ethics rules for lawyers require that they cover for each others crimes. [P. 129] Certainly this is the conduct that usually occurs, in the experience of this reviewer. Lawyers, like corrupt judges and police officers, do not usually report on each others misconduct. Indeed, there is nobody to report to in any meaningful way. Judicial complaint tribunals are secret, self-policing travesties, as are bar disciplinary entities and police department internal affairs departments. In light of this expos and others, including a recent 60 Minutes expose of Wall Street lawyers, more citizens are waking up to the alarming reality that the justice system itself may not be designed to dispense justice to the American public. Nevertheless, Rule 8.3 of the Model ABA Rules of Professional Conduct does technically require the reporting of substantial ethical breaches. From the courts of Florida, a state once thought to be a refuge for the elderly, to those in California, Nevada, Texas and other states, the isolate, medicate, take the estate m.o. repeats. The style of each story reflects a continuum from angry outrage, through informative warnings. Included throughout are references to websites, telephone numbers of activists, and citations to other reference books, websites, and media contacts. There is definitely information and inspiration enough for any reader looking for answers and direction. Some of GUARDIANSHIPs contributors comment that those without money are safe from predatory guardians. Certainly the super-wealthy, such as the unfortunate Brooke Astor, betrayed by her son, are not shielded by their millions. [pp. 132-133] Some contributors remark that even the poor and those who are not elderly can be targeted, locked up, and plundered for their social security checks while the guardian foists the substandard care of the ward on the public in underfunded human warehouses. Often a relative could and would have cared for the elderly person personally if they only had the use of the persons meager income to buy his or food. The final chapter provides us with no real solutions. There are no advance directives, living wills, trusts or other more creative legal instruments that cannot easily be ignored or undone by a corrupt judge or attorney. What remains is a stark reminder that the probate court oppressors schemes to steal from us and lay waste our families and our heritage, all constitute criminal acts. GUARDIANSHIP may well be a warning to the public that half-way measures failing to address the overarching criminality will be useless. The challenge is to find effective means of bringing these high-placed criminals to justice before we pay them any more of our tax dollars to plunder and then murder those we love. RETRACTION: The statement in Katherine Hines originally posted book review of GUARDIANSHIP: How Judges and Lawyers Steal Your Money that Rebecca Schultz was arrested was incorrect. The situation was reported correctly in the cited Las Vegas Review-Journal article by Colton Lochhead. Lochheads article had stated that the guardians lawyers accused Schultz of kidnapping her father but that no such charges were ever filed. A bench warrant was reportedly issued for her arrest for not attending a court hearing in the case about her father. but she was never arrested [p. 73]. We apologize for the error. An inactive attorney who practiced over 30 years in the courts of Oklahoma and Ohio, Katherine is now with WLJA radio: www.wljaradio.net, hosting a weekly broadcast exposing illegalities of forced psychiatry in Ohio, and another exposing the consequences of our current lack of judicial accountability. She is the executive director of the Ross County Network for Children in Ohio, was instrumental in 2008-2009 in ridding the City of Chillicothe, Ohio of its traffic cameras through citizen initiative, and has authored articles in the Columbus Free Press and one in the treatise: Expose: The Failure of Family Courts to Protect Children. She can be reached at katherinehine@wljaradio.net. It seems to me that if you put your home assets in a trust that would be a good start; also protects from lawsuits. Have an iron clad will advanced directive too. It seems to me that if you put your home assets in a trust that would be a good start; also protects from lawsuits. Have an iron clad will advanced directive too. Yes it seems this will only get worse as the economy dives. We listed my children as part owners of my home land in an LLC trust so that it would be difficult for someone to sue take it as all would have to be included in suit. Also upon death there would be no probate waiting as it would automatically transfer to them. But you are right since I control the disposition of it before hand ; if I lost capacity the guardian could probably dispose of it. There should be bills in every state to change these laws. Shameful. The current jewstice system does not have anything to do with justice and its certainly not balanced nor blind. I would have killed the guardian and whomever was with her. My mother was under a court appointed guardian. My mother was isolated, abused and they stole her money and property, all with the approval of the judge. Its a corrupt system run and controlled by judges. We need the Feds to investigate these judges and follow the money. What system do you know of in which one person (a judge) can deem you incapacitated even if you are not? I wonder if the instructional materials for social workers discuss any of this 
2	Patriot Goes Off On Muslim Woman Wearing American Flag Hijab [VIDEO] Recently, a video clip making its way around the internet shows a man losing his cool when he sees an American flag-themed hijab in front of the Plaza Hotel in New York City. America hates Islam, the man begins to rant. It doesnt matter where youre born. If you are going to represent the true and living religion, dont have an American flag on it. Although were not sure were completely aligned with this man, it does seem a bit extreme to be wearing the American flag in such a way. Watch the video below and tell us what you think.

1	Saying hed been expecting the multinational corporation to have to wait a little while longer, David MacLennan, the CEO of U.S.-based agribusiness Cargill, told reporters Friday he was surprised how quickly the money it had just paid out in corporate taxes had circled back around to the company. Boy, that was fast; by the time we entered our tax expenses onto our balance sheet, wed already got it all back in government grants and subsidies, said MacLennan, noting how tax breaks in the Farm Bill and several new lobbyist-advanced earmarks had funneled the corporations federal and state tax outlays back into its cash holdings in record time. Obviously, I knew wed be getting the money back, but I didnt think it would be this immediate. We didnt even have time to notice it was gone. Despite the unusually quick turnaround, MacLennan stated that the process was otherwise normal, with the company receiving several million more dollars from the government than it had paid in the first place. 
3	Nanobiometrics Will Track You By SmellNicholas West As discussed in How Close Are We to a Nano-Based Surveillance State? back in February of 2011, the next phase of ID will be on the nano scale. DARPA and their contractors have been working for quite a while on making you, not just your personal data, the tracking mechanism. Through a matrix of biological sensors and biometrics, the individual is now set to be tracked, traced and databased with greater frequency and much greater ease. A new announcement from a Spanish engineering firm highlights the direction that is being taken in extracting the most innate personally identifying information possible. We already have iris scans, biometric fingerprinting, facial recognition, voice recognition, payment with vein scans, and proposals for brain scan databases. Now our unique smell is being researched as the ultimate tool for providing ones ID authentication. Nanotechnology for identification purposes already has been introduced in the following ways, just to name a few: Quick to assuage concern over Big Brother, however, a press release from UniversidadPolitcnica de Madrid sees this technology merely as an extension of what already has been used from the beginning just think of it as an electronic bloodhound: The difference, I would arugue, is that the traditional bloodhound itself doesnt have the ability to transmit information instantaneously to an array of databases to be analyzed, stored, and used for future tracking applications by government agencies or private interests. We only need to look at the applications that have been admitted to in order to realize that this type of technology is far vaster in scale than authenticating our ID for our own personal financial security, or for disease detection and prevention. By 2003, the newly opened Department of Homeland Security showed immediate interest inSensorNet, a program spearheaded by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and their strategic partners to research ways to fully integrate nano- and micro-sensors into one overall Internet-like matrix of real-time detection and surveillance. The Department of Defense allocated $3 million to the initiative for the first year, with a projected budget into the billions being allocated over the long term for detection systems. By 2006, Oak Ridge announced that they planned to turn Fort Bragg military base into a prototype for Americas future cities. According to Department of Energy researcher, Bryan Gorman, Any sensor can talk to any application. Just like with the Internet or with telephone systems, it doesnt matter what kind of computer or telephone you have, where you are or what application youre running. The system just works. SensorNet has since morphed into an even more comprehensive system to integrate safety and security measures . . . into the transportation system, which includes concerns surrounding transportation and commerce in the political, economic, or environmental arenas. What we are really seeing with this development of smell ID is what we typically see with creeping surveillance technology: first it is introduced through the potential benefits in the area of disease detection and protection from terrorism, real and financial all voluntary, of course before it becomes a pervasive and permanent (and mandatory) part of the human landscape. The potential for abusing this type of technology by integrating it across currently disparate lines is virtually certain in our currently data-compromised world. Legitimate science must research ways to increase human potential and freedom, not permit it to be used as a system for identification and control by the politically and morally compromised. With the rise of nanotechnology as a federal initiative, we should strongly resist the collection of any part of our life force to be used in whichever ways that government-controlled science sees fit. It is the misappropriation of science and technology that poses one of the greatest threats to our freedom. How much longer can we permit the ethical part of this discussion to become an afterthought, instead of an integral component while beginning this type of research? Recently by Nicholas West: 
1	Despite a lack of divine intervention by the Son of God or any other higher power, area man Tom Wendt has somehow managed to overcome his alcoholism, sources confirmed Friday. 'It was causing so many problems at work and with my family that I decided to stop drinking before it ruined my life,' said Wendt, who credited his own willpower, a desire to better himself as a human being, and not Jesus Christ for the otherwise inexplicable recovery. 'It hasn't been easy, but I took a hard look at myself and made some important lifestyle changes. I'm sober almost three months now, and I never could have done it without [wife and non-supernatural-entity] Susan.' Reached for comment, Wendt's aunt Clara, who spent years praying for her nephew, remained steadfast in her insistence that Jesus most likely had something to do with it. 
2	Syrian Rebels Do The Unthinkable To Captured Radical Islamic Terrorists The Syrian Rebels caught a group of Radical Islamic Terrorists. They then created a video reenacting the sickening ISIS videos. They forced the ISIS prisoners to their needs and pulled out their pistols. They pressed their guns their the terrorists heads, but then holstered their weapons. A preacher came out and said, We are not sympathizers of killing, slaughtering and terror. Our religion is justice and Islam is the crown on top of our heads. Good deeds are our principle. The prisoners were taken back to prison, where they will remain indefinitely. This was a move by the Syrian Rebels to distance themselves from the radical terrorists. Do you think they should have shot them? 
1	In a dramatic capper to a year that already saw her son's hockey team go to district finals, a successful remodeling of the den, and her scoring of front-row tickets to a traveling production of the Broadway smash hit Les Misrables, Wasilla resident and former beauty queen Sarah Palin, 44, was chosen as the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee. The mother of five, who enjoys attending church potluck dinners with husband Todd, an unemployed commercial fisherman, reportedly 'jumped at the chance' to become the second most powerful person in the country. 'Oh, what a nice thing for [GOP running mate] Sarah [Palin],' said Debbie McInnes, who met Palin two years ago at an advanced step aerobics class at the Wasilla YMCA. 'She's such a good person, and so pretty! I think she'd be super-enthusiastic to take on that job.' Although Palin ultimately never got the chance to come within a heartbeat of ruling a global superpower and its 300 million citizens, she said she was happy enough to have beaten out the other potential Republican VP candidates, including a Nebraska receptionist and a congresswoman from Ohio with more than 20 years of political experience. 
2	Obama Humiliated After Israeli Official Calls Him Idiotic According to recent reports, a Senior Israeli government minister just claimed that the Obama Administration is either idiotic or just amateurish in their attempts to relate to the terrorist violence currently taking place in the country. Recently, State Department spokesman John Kirby backtracked on an earlier suggestion from John Kerry that the settlement activity of Jews was in some way to blame for violence in Jerusalem. Kerry then went on to accuse the Holy land of using excessive force against the terrorists. Kirby told reporters that the Obama Administration had seen some reports of security activity that could indicate the potential excessive use of force. I dont know whether to call them nave in the U.S. State Department and in the American government, Israeli Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan told Army Radio. Instead of putting out idiotic declarations that pretend to address two equally guilty sides, they should focus pressure on the murderous, inciting Palestinian Authority, which because of its incitement young people go out and commit murderous acts. Erdan also claimed that the State Department is traditionally hostile toward Israel. To allow themselves to be taken in by lies is very strange, amateurish, or worse, Erdan concluded. What do you think? Is the Obama Administration an embarrassment when it comes to foreign policy? 
1	Explaining that the article did not meet the publications high standards, the editors of The Recorder, Central Connecticut State Universitys student newspaper, confirmed Wednesday that the inaccuracy of every single detail forced them to pull the issues top story at the last minute. We at The Recorder strive to ensure that every piece of writing we publish contains timely and thoroughly reported information, and because each sentence of this article contains at least one factual error, we made the call to kill it, said editor-in-chief Hannah Lowry, noting numerous red flags in the article that included an incorrect date and location; misattributed quotes; several wide-of-the-mark figures, including the schools attendance; and the names of students, faculty, and buildings that do not exist. While I was confident in the storys reporting after my first pass, a closer inspection earlier today revealed that the piece as a whole does not contain a single accurate statement, and the headline referred to a campus event that never occurred. It was with this knowledge that I made the decision to pull the story from publication, ensuring that we uphold the paramount responsibilities entrusted to us by the Blue Devil community. At press time, the student reporter who authored the article had reportedly apologized to the staff and attributed the errors to extreme fatigue. 
1	In a month that has already seen several key changes to popular comic book characters, publisher Marvel Comics revealed Monday that a new version of Spider-Man archenemy the Green Goblin would be left-handed. We felt it was time for Marvel to give the Spider-Man series an exciting new perspective, and were confident readers are going to agree when they catch sight of obsessive Oscorp researcher Dr. Charles Lefty Langkowski, Marvel chief creative officer Joe Quesada said of the change, which will come in an issue that follows the left-handed scientist, who accidentally spills a biogenic serum from his clumsy right hand and subsequently transforms into the unhinged, Halloween-themed supervillain. From throwing his signature arsenal of Pumpkin Bombs with his left hand rather than his right, to leaning in the opposite direction while riding the Goblin Glide, its a fresh, new path forward for the character, and everyone at Marvel is excited for fans to follow the Sinister Southpaws reign of terror. Reactions to the announcement have reportedly been mixed, with a number of readers praising the introduction of a more relatable figure, while others expressed frustration that the Marvel Universe still lacked an ambidextrous character.

1	In an announcement with major implications for future generations of big fat hogs, Cornell University geneticists announced Monday that they have isolated the specific DNA series that makes an individual susceptible to eating a whole goddamn bag of chips. According to Cornell researchers, the tendency to eat a whole goddamn bag of chips (above) may be genetic. 'We have long known that the tendency to sit down and eat the whole goddamn bag runs in certain families,' said team leader Dr. Edward Alvaro. 'However, until we completed our work, we weren't sure whether the disposition to cram chips down your greasy gullet was genetic or whether it was a behavioral trait learned from one or both fat-fuck parents. With the discovery of gene series CHP-48/OZ-379, we have proof positive that single-case serial chip-eating is indeed hereditary.' For years, scientists have been aware of the numerous health complications linked to a person's predisposition to plop down and mow through a whole bag of chips, but it wasn't until now that they were able to isolate the gene that carries the trait. According to the Cornell team, series CHP-48/OZ-379 is a set of 'alleles,' or collections of genetic material, that cause chip-eaters to develop a markedly larger number of chip-responsive nerve endings in their cerebral material. 'People with this gene have up to four times the amount of fritoceptors normally found in a human,' Alvaro said. 'This increases their pleasure response to snaxamine-2, the human body's principal chip-eating hormone, which is released in response to giant handfuls of chips being shoveled into the mouth. This tends to promote entire-goddamn-bag-eating behavior in those individuals who possess the series.' One of the most interesting characteristics of the newly discovered series, researcher Dr. Paul Bergleiter said, is its tendency to appear more than once in the gene strands of a human subject. 'Series CHP-48/OZ-379, because it is a fairly large, or 'fat-assed,' allele, tends to just lie around at convenient sites on the DNA sequence,' Bergleiter said. 'Though many subjects exhibit only one instance of this gene, on others we have found as many as four. This, of course, led these rather rare subjects to eat four times as many whole goddamn bags of chips as those in our control group.' Though many more fatsos must be studied to determine CHP-48/OZ-379's transmission pattern, conventional wisdom seems to indicate that the gene is recessive. 'Who would want to pass on their own intact genetic material to someone who just sat around eating chips all goddamn day?' Bergleiter asked. 'Unless, of course, that was the only person you could find because you were such a big lard-ass yourself. That would probably be the only source of friendly RNA-transcriptive culture you could find.' Carriers of the CHP-48/OZ-379 gene are hailing the Cornell find. 'It is about time science took steps to help people like me--people who eat bags of chips like it's fucking popcorn,' said 370-pound Erie, PA, resident Russell Roberts. 'I can't even get jogging pants in my size anymore.' The discovery is considered the most significant advance in gene-mapping since a University of Chicago team isolated the DNA strand that causes people to shovel spoonfuls of ice cream into their mouths while standing in front of the friggin' freezer with the door wide open.

1	Superintendent David Geyer announced Tuesday that due to the high cost of new equipment, regular field maintenance, and rising coaches' salaries, Brownsville High would be forced to shut down its footbaha, yeah right, the arts program is definitely getting the ax. 'I've already informed Coach Mackenzie that recent budget concerns have left us with no other choice but tookay, all kidding aside, the entire music faculty is fired, effective immediately,' Geyer said. 'But the arts remain vital to a good education, and if the economy improves, aw, who am I trying to fool? Those programs are gone for good.' Geyer then attempted to commend the school's art students for all their hard work, but couldn't keep himself from cracking up. 
1	Claims adjuster Geoffrey Danvers is like many other Minneapolis residents. He is gainfully employed, participates in community events, and is an avid reader who particularly enjoys courtroom thrillers. One thing Danvers does not share with his friends and neighbors, however, is discomfort with the sight of his nude body. Danvers hangs out around the house. 'Nudity is the natural state of the human body,' Danvers said Monday, adjusting his sunglasses and leaning back in his lawn chair to increase the airflow around his genitals. 'Europeans have a very relaxed attitude about nudityboth on their beaches and in other public spaces. Why be bound up in clothes all the time?' He then stood to retrieve a drink from a nearby table, revealing a reddish, woven-crosshatch pattern on his back and buttocks. While Danvers characterized his naked body as 'no big deal,' others dubbed it 'gross,' 'embarrassing,' and 'tragic.' 'It's good to be comfortable with your body,' said Fran Hendricks, Danvers' fully clothed neighbor. 'But you can't expect everyone else to befor example, someone walking her dog before work who just happens to glance in your living-room window. His junk was just hanging there, swaying like a wind sock in a light breeze.' During the warm summer months, Danvers and his circumcised penis spend many hours exposed to the elements. Danvers said he usually takes his clothes off to cool down, but he acknowledged that he doesn't see the point in putting them back on to mow his lawn, watch television, or prepare spring rolls. 'I don't force my choice on anyone else,' Danvers said. 'The moment I leave my property, I wear clothes. When I have company over, I usually wear clothes. But if I'm hanging out around the living roomor the kitchen, or the garage, or the deckwhy shouldn't I be comfortable?' Neighbors provided several reasons for Danvers to not be comfortable. 'I shouldn't have to see him strutting his pasty, flabby body around like a peacock,' said Elaine Preston, who lives next door to Danvers. 'What Geoff does with his body behind closed doors makes no difference to me. But when he's grilling in his backyard or taking out the garbage, he needs to wear some trunks. At the very least, he should close his shades during his morning yoga routine.' Danvers brushed off the criticism. 'The hang-up over the unclothed form stems from the Christian association of nudity with paganism,' Danvers said. 'But religious people need to remember that Adam and Eve were naked until the devil imposed the idea of shame on them. You'd think Christians would see the human body as a work of God's art.' Danvers prepares dinner. 'You know, I'm just like everyone else,' Danvers added. 'I put my pants on one leg at a time on those days I wear them.' Neither his dimpled appendectomy scar nor local restaurants' refusal to deliver food to his address have convinced Danvers to clothe himself. 'Nudity has connotations of poverty, slavery, and defeat,' Danvers said, his flaccid penis resting on his left thigh. 'But when I'm gardening, and it's just me and nature with no clothes in between, I don't feel defeated. I feel triumphant. That is, when I even remember that I'm naked, which I rarely do. See? That's how natural it is.' While most neighbors say they are careful not to visit Danvers without calling in advance, at least one coworker has made the mistake of ringing Danvers' doorbell unexpectedly. 'Last month, I stopped by to pick up some files,' coworker Tom McDaniel said. 'Geoff came to the door with nothing but the papers. At first, I thought he just wasn't wearing a shirt. Then I looked down and saw his ding-a-ling.' 'He even invited me in for some coffee,' McDaniel continued. 'I could see a leather living-room set behind him. From now on, we'll be exchanging documents via e-mail.' 
1	Rather than use His almighty power to breathe life back into the 130,000 people who perished in the Myanmar cyclone, rebuild an earthquake-destroyed China, or bring a lasting peace to the Middle East, the Lord God wasted a divine miracle Monday by granting Angels centerfielder Torii Hunter the ability to make a dramatic but otherwise routine running catch in the outfield. 'I know many of My children believe My omnipotence would be better spent in ways other than affecting the contest between the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Detroit Tigers, and truth be told, there is a possibility Mr. Hunter would have made that catch on his own. But it was a very close game that the Angels really deserved to win,' said God, adding that He answered the heartfelt prayers of nearly 50,000 Los Angeles fans by allowing Hunter to make the grab. 'Everyoneeven the first place Angels, who need to win just a few more close games to give them the confidence to make a World Series rundeserves God's help, not just those suffering from AIDS.' God denied that His handiwork was responsible for Angels third baseman Chone Figgins waking up Wednesday morning with no pain in his right hamstring, saying He was as surprised as anyone. 
3	Anti-surveillance App Developer Targeted at Border by Department of Homeland SecurityBrandon Turbeville While detention and harassment at the border by DHS is unfortunately nothing new, what is interesting is the major topic of Kobeissis interrogations. In this case, it was Kobeissis open source chat app, Cryptocat that seems to have raised the eyebrows of someone in the upper reaches of DHS. As Jon Matonis of Forbes states, DHS interrogators were curious about which encryption algorithms are deployed by Cryptocat as well as the level of censorship resistance held by the program. Cryptocat is an app that establishes a secure, encrypted chat session that is allegedly not subject to government or commercial surveillance. As Matonis writes: It uses client-side JavaScript to implement 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard for message encryption and Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman for key agreement. Similar to the Off-the-record Messaging (OTR) cryptographic protocol available via plugin, Cryptocat generates new key pairs for every chat implementing a form of perfect forward secrecy and deniable encryption. However, the web-based Cryptocat can also accommodate multiple parties to an encrypted chat session. Cryptocat is different from other programs using cryptography that produce a record and identities of the users along with the ability for verification. This is because Kobeissis new app uses perfect forward secrecy which allegedly leaves no trace. Yet some go even further. For instance, in a presentation by RT regarding Cryptocat, the new app was even referred to as CISPAs kryptonite because its a service that denies third-party access to private conversations online thereby making the Cyber Intelligence Sharing Protection Act largely irrelevant. Of course, Cryptocrat is an impressive development. However, one should be very careful about assuming that those involved in the creation of the digital control grid have been outdone by any new introduction of technology. After all, agencies like DARPA and the more secretive agencies are generally light years ahead of anything released to the general public. In a world where total surveillance is not only possible but has actually been realized, it is not wise to assume that one app will produce a chink in the armor of the overarching control system. This type of technological development most likely has been anticipated long ago. Indeed, instead of fearing the potential of activists utilizing the system for revolution, it seems much more logical that it would be government agencies who would take the most advantage of the technology than anything or anyone else. For instance, one should keep in mind that, while flash mobs organized to protest the Federal Reserve were immediately crushed as a result of government surveillance, the Arab Spring, which is mentioned by Matinos of Forbes, was actually facilitated by western/NATO governments using digital methods like Twitter and Facebook. It is also suspect that Kobeissi was detained at the border in an attempt by government agents to understand his technology. It is much more realistic to assume that the repeated interrogations were being used in order to discourage both Kobeissi and other developers from attempting to create any form of anti-surveillance technology that isnt produced and subsequently introduced at the pre-determined time all the way from the top. Such technology will obviously have built-in surveillance backdoors even as it touts secrecy and security. If Cryptocrat is, however, an actual method of shielding private conversations, then the need of the Homeland Security state to confound and dismantle it as soon as possible should be obvious to anyone. Interestingly enough, Kobeissi is not the only developer to be harassed by US government agents upon entering the country. Last year, a Chinese Bitcoin developer was interrogated for hours by US Customs agents about how Bitcoin worked, where he got them, and how he traded them for actual money. Eventually, he was denied entry into the country. Programmer and activist, David House, co-founder of the Bradley Manning Support Network, even had his electronics confiscated upon reentering the country. House was also grilled about his political activities, even though those activities are clearly protected under the law and the Constitution. All three of these individuals were caught in the SSSS (Secondary Security Screening Selection) designation that Muslims have been subjected to for years since the false flag attacks of 9/11. These SSSS designations result in the unfortunate individual receiving extensive searches and interrogations which can last for hours on end. At the very least, however, such obnoxious border security has drawn the ire of the ACLU which is now questioning some of the authorities claimed by the government at ports of entry. The Massachussetts ACLU is even suing the Department of Homeland Security for the treatment of David House. As Privacysos.org writes: Special border rules shouldnt grant the government the authority to skirt the Fourth Amendment or subject people to political interrogations. Nevertheless, harassing and denying entry to programmers and political activists is only part of the story regarding the increasingly open authoritarian makeup of border security. Indeed, this type of treatment is not unique only to those mentioned in this article. For instance, well-known author and researcher Daniel Estulin has beendenied entry into the United States simply for his coverage of the annual Bilderberg Meetings. From identification programs like IDENT and S-COMM to the expansion of Border Patrol checkpoints a hundred miles inside the United States, the constant harassment of citizens in the name of border security is clearly on the upsurge despitebeing in direct violation of the Constitution. Regardless of the reasons for the detention and interrogation of the aforementioned programmers, the fact is that they are not the first individuals to be greeted with Gestapo-like tactics upon entering the country. Unfortunately, unless something is done soon, they will not be the last. Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Mullins, South Carolina.

1	Following the companys announcement that it would discontinue public sales of the wearable technology, Google officials confirmed Monday that all unsold units of Google Glass would be donated to underprivileged assholes in Africa. We are committed to positively impacting the lives of poverty-stricken smug pricks by distributing the surplus inventory of Google Glass to self-important fucks throughout sub-Saharan Africa, a statement released by the company read in part, adding that the program will provide the optical head-mounted technology, as well as professional training sessions, to destitute communities of conceited dicks from Sierra Leone, to Somalia, to Botswana. This gesture will help tens of thousands of poor and needy men, women, and children across the continent who have never had the opportunity to walk around looking like a pompous jackass all day long. From the moment they turn on their new Google Glass in clear view of others, theyll immediately start experiencing the undeserved sense of superiority currently lacking in their lives. At press time, Google confirmed that the first devices had been presented to an indigent family of complete fucking jerkoffs from the Republic of Guinea. 
3	Obama Calls Alternative Media Domestic PropagandistsBy Kurt Nimmo If fake news thats being released by some foreign government is almost identical to reports that are being issued through partisan news venues, then its not surprising that that foreign propaganda will have a greater effect, Obama said. It doesnt seem that farfetched compared to some of the other stuff folks are hearing from domestic propagandists. To the extent that our political dialogue is such that everything is under suspicion, everybodys corrupt and everybody is doing things for partisan reasons and all of our institutions are, you know full of malevolent actors and if thats the story that is being put out there, then when a foreign government introduces that same argument, the facts are made up, voters who have been listening to that stuff for years, who have been getting that stuff every day from talk radio or other venues, theyre going to believe it. In other words, if the alternative media investigates and posts a story about the government and this is picked up by Russian state media, then it is a categorical lie. See Obamas remarks here. Kurt Nimmo is the editor of Another Day in the Empire, where this article first appeared. He is the former lead editor and writer of Infowars.com. Donate to ADE Here. There is no bigger domestic propagandist in this country than this I got bin Laden Nobel Peace Prize Kenyan-born Constitutional Law Professor. How about Trump I will deport 11 million illegals or I will clean the swamp (by installing my billiionaire Wall St cronies and neo con war hawks and fascists like Bannon)? Compared to Obamas many lies, Trump wins in a landslide! What difference, at this point, does it make? There are no winners in the Who Is The Biggest Liar game. What difference does it make whether the attack on the gun running operation in Behghazi was triggered by a video which had triggered riots in other ME nations or other motives? What matters is that we realize the truth: the US was smuggling weapons to al Quada in Syria, from Behghazi, thru Turkey to Syria. The rest is just masquerade, cover up. The Benghazi attack was a result of US destruction of Libya, by patriots (those who defend their homeland from foreign invadrs), whatever the trigger was. By taking Clintons quote out of context, you further obscure the truth, which is that both parties know the truth but are afraid to admit a consensus to arm terrorists to take down Assad. Now you know. CIA running arms smuggling team in Benghazi when consulate was attacked The Obama administration pursued a policy in Libya back in 2011 that ultimately allowed guns to walk into the hands of jihadists linked to the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and al-Qaeda (AQ) in Syria, according to a former CIA officer who co-authored a report on behalf of the Citizens Commission on Benghazi. breitbart The U.S. special mission in Benghazi and the nearby CIA annex were utilized in part to coordinate arms shipments to the jihadist rebels fighting the Syrian regime, with Ambassador Christopher Stevens playing a central role, documents an explosive new book released today. The activities, which included a separate, unprecedented multi-million-dollar weapons collection effort from Libyan militias who did not want to give up their weapons, may have prompted the Sept. 11, 2012, attack globalresearch. Worth noting: both parties knew about this, and of course, there was no al Quada in Arabia until the Bush criminal war created them. This does not excuse Obama and Clinton (and the Republicans who supported the ME wars) but it traces the original sin back to its origins in the lies that Bush told to create a pretext for a war that was criminal in origins and execution. Look beyond the Dem/Repub fake outs and digest the truth. I know all that, you dont need to lecture me. Both parties are at fault for all of it, I didnt vote for any of them because Im not partisan. Good reply bee the change.d ruff is a know it all Yes, I see that. He has a world class education. Its a pity that didnt include any psychology, manners, vocabulary, logic, or lessons on hubris and humility. I dont know it all; that is why I go to people who have spent their lives studying a subject and submitting it to peer review, which never ends. Name calling is childish, steve. Hes attempting to propagate a false narrative and limited hangouts by replying to you. The Assad clan, like Russian elites, are lackeys for the NWOthe latter a slam dunk proof positive assertion, something a Haaavard pol sci dude should know. Right on target thats why were receiving FLAK Good to see its you, Eddysachs! I wondered if a certain person might take the bait for a good flaying. lol Note to self for next time: need juicier [can of] worms. Yo, eddy. This is the reincarnated OS. Shes baaaack! Cheers so glad youre still viable missed your intrepid perspicacity (lol) just Got who Im talking to (I upvoted you before realizing it was you..so youre leaking out all over the palace as I was drawn to your commentary anyway -lol) Best of luck keeping those good results flowing. What is Isle of View? What do you say to your significant other or your children?..when youre about to hang up the phone?just repeat Isle of View a little faster youll Get it (lol) youll have a good laffff on yourselfamazing how the mind works.forest the trees kind of brain teaser magic.with a beautiful sentiment. How beautiful. I will make that mine, too. Thank you. Thats why I gave it you for X-mass .would have luvvved to be there when you Got the Ah- ha! (lol).cheers Ya, I wrote sentences and got a book reply. Haaaavard, you say? Maybe they get paid by the word like real writers. Cut and paste, yep, Ive gotten the deluge too! Worse, its so tangential as to slip off the reality page. Talkin past each other while being pummeled over the head with Kool-Aid Zeitgeist. Weve had a couple of entertaining jousts, neuroscience chic vs. older Harvard pol sci academic ideologue (probably not paid is my guess) debating geopolitics. Sometimes hilarious in that very ironic wayhad to be there, trust me. Totally with you, as usual. Ive had a few linguistic jousts myself lately, not with Mr. Ruff and Tuff here, elsewhere. Ive noticed a sea change in the Disqus platform. Ive noted another disturbing trend- researching via browser gives up only mainstream sources. Guess Im going to have to find some passion other than debating the Kool-Aid Zeitgeist Haavard Set. Great term BTW, I might borrow it on occasion! Youre my reality check, blue. Yep, were both still here beating our heads against walls, trying to roust the last of the sleepers. I feel like Ive done this all before somewhere else, many times. Youre right on target, every single observation. Your last sentence reflects my exact sentiments, esp. felt powerfully the last few days. Please borrow any and all, Im always honored. Besides, its our nature to learn from each other on our way to warp speed consciousness shifting away from vampires intent on consuming our higher selves. We cant get too comfortable, yet, still hittin the wall. Sister truth warriors, we are. I feel that power surge too, but I usually feel this particular type of portal energy during solstices. These energies can be used very effectively as a gateway for intention setting. Gimme some of that good ol warp speed consciousness shifting. Im particularly looking forward to this coming solstice. Gateway to some very new energies involving convergence, me thinks, ours and theirs. Got my lasso ready, R. Great! I love convergence! Heh, this book Starfish/Spider this is terrific information, just what I needed to gel some stuff Ive been thinking about. I love the writing style and Im totally on board with the decentralization premise and how it works. Thanks for sharing that with whomever it was you were talking with when I butted in. Youre welcome! Ive taken a lot of deep dives into this area. Of late, Ive been thinking about how to clearly distinguish true decentralization with the handcuff versions being foisted in realms of the alt sphere. It always gets down to the tracking and who controls resource allocation, local vs. global, the latter can be made to look appear local when it isnt. Another of my works in progress. Stay tuned! lol Yes heres my work in progress. So far at least, this seems to be the main message of SS- The harder you fight a decentralized opponent, the stronger it gets. This is the key to how to move forward from here. Heres my Apache storythere is a huge discussion taking place all over Montana about the recent vote approving medical marijuana. Actually, this was the THIRD time since 2004 that the referendum had been voted in favor by a large majority of Montanans, but its always beat back by corporate interests and white coats filing lawsuits and other bothersome nonsense. The issue was given to the public to decide but the medical profession claims the public isnt smart enough to understand all the issues. So this doctor decides to lead The Charge of the Dark Brigade and I wade into the battle against her with all guns blazing. This happens to be one of my pet peeves: doctors who lecture on the dangers of cannabis while they push truly dangerous psychotropics, opiates, and antidepressants that are literally killing people. My volunteer EMT Obi Wan husband has the job of scraping these people off the floor after they die from prescription overdoses. The more I argued point for point, the more people appeared out of nowhere and piled on her head, and a major fracas ensued where a lot of good information came to light from a wide variety of sources. I did a lot of damage to her and then disappeared, others took my place. These are all local folks unknown to each other, but in a very short time a truth army formed up and blasted this arrogant doctor into a sniveling mess. So yes, the harder they push, the stronger we get yes, yes, and yes. There are some excellent lessons in a starfish. Awesome story, OS. In a nutshell, decentralized systems have two essential features: theyre highly resilient and capable of rapid learning (rapid annealing of information). Exactly mirroring the strategy of the most elegant information systems in the universe which is evolution (hang with me here!), balance in ecosystems, and homeostasis in complex organisms. Not sure if you have a limited view of evolution or reject it. Clearly the evolution process exists as its been observed in real time in insects and other short lived species and the evidence for it on the longer scale is overwhelming (to include molecular genetics), not a house of cards like climate change and more sound than allopathic medicine (as a science, not as a social/health construct not an apologist here, I tear med sci apart at the drop of a hat and have been since my 20s). imo, theres room for alternative views powerful outside forces have influenced the process. I believe Ive become uber adept at riding the thin lines of dualities, finding the sharp contrasts that guide me to optimal clarity helping me avoid falling into crevasses of limiting perspectives. Thats a discussion for another time. Im just sayin we can glean details of how the process works beautifully from Mother Nature herself evolution reflected in a refining of DNA (rapid annealing and assimilation of new data) being the best example I know, and its a fractal of how ecosystems work the language of mathematics. Contrast this with centralized systems that are inherently brittle and slow to adapt. The old USSR model is a good example. Lots of examples in business models, societies, and ecosytems. One major component goes kaput and the entire system can collapse. I totally see what youre saying. No one could be happier than I am that Darwins theory of evolution be proven wrong. Now that we have birthed new information regarding the electric universe and holographic reality, we are getting very close to The Theory of Everything that actually works without exceptions slapped on like Band Aids. It so freaking exciting every time a piece is brought by some brilliant mind and placed into the puzzle. I felt that excitement just reading the title of SS because I knew it held a key. I read half the book last night. I love all his examples, Craigs List, Burning Man its like a road map to the future. I guess all that freewheeling chaos scares the control freaks but the energy created is liberating. To run with your evolution idea a bit, it clearly does exist in real time and can be seen. I have been watching birds all my life and I can see evolution taking place with my own eyes. It doesnt take millions of years of mistakes called mutations. That whole notion always pissed me off. We are all holograms and fractals of Source, which is the driving force of nature, and these energy waves and blasts that I keep telling you about are the actual mechanism of DNA upgrading. Our own DNA is being upgraded in one lifetime. The notion that we are victims of our genetics is totally wrong. We drive our genetics with our thoughts and our conscious ability to acquire light energy. That notion alone changes EVERYTHING. Because our sun acts as a transformer of these light blasts, stepping them down for organic life to use safely (sunlight feels like love) when you stand in the sunshine and soak it up, you can literally feel your body lighting up inside if you have this conscious awareness of what is taking place. Wow. I freaking LOVE this stuff! I concur!..cheers Nicely articulated. Bravura ! Lmao ! Two wings on the self same vulture (lol) Yes, two Wolves fighting over the flock. Jeeze!I just got that myself visuallyfinally!after staring rt at it understanding the reality but missed the visualCheers for that Ah yes Ziggy Brzezinskis Arc of Crisiss cascading domino underpinings theory as he reports to the BORGs STAKEHOLDERS Think Im gonna hurl some sepsis bile that is stuck in my craw. I have no idea what you mean except is is an insult. When you insult, you lose. Insult ? Good luck w/ that ! You have lost. Adieu. He is not even president yet so stop your jive. Bannon is terrific a brilliant man. Obama lies continuously all he has to do is open his mouth. He singlehandedly destroyed the demon crat party. Obama keep talking trump looks better everyday So you are a neo-fascist like Bannon. Thanks for exposing your true colors. Trump is a pathological liar and has appointed neo con war hawks hot to start WWIII by bombing Iran (military allie of Russian and China), crony billionaires, Wall St tycoons, and of course, the fascist Bannon. Trump has no consent and therefore, according to the Declaration of Independence, has no legitimacy; historically, rulers without consent must rule with violence, iintimidation, and lies. That is why Bannon is there: he is a master of the Big Lie. Ok start the name callingwhat BIG LIE did steve Bannon do again? By the way whether you like or not he is in so get used to it. Trump does not have consent for what? He has already tried to intimidate Dept of Energy and created hostile relations with China and Russia, before taking office! Do you support greater hostility and arms races? [by installing my billiionaire Wall St cronies and neo con war hawks] Oh no! War hawks! Trump must have offered prime war hawk Hillary a position and I have not even read about it yet! Yeah, the same war hawks who claimed Saddam was responsible for 9/11, who wrote the PNAC manifesto for world domination, who still defend the Iraq War, who want to bomb Iran, who want to exterminate Muslims: Woolsey, Hadley, Flynn, Mattis, Boltonall Bush era war hawks who promoted a criminal war costing half a million innocent lives and 4 trillion in debt, spreading al Quada from 1 nation to 33. Wake up! Key grasp of the obvious as its been mostly or similar to this for thousands of years. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d627de6a85328e393aa33eb11ca3a81881e6255f2ed537e93ec1b14a68b6b983.jpg What a cacaphony of paradoxical conundrums. Lets not mince words: the Trump Big Lie is bullshit, a fantasy, a way of pandering to bigots. In his essay Politics and the English Language, Orwell lists rhetoric which covers up the truth: Pretencioius diction He writes: The inflated style itself is a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. Yep no doubt about 100% asymmetrical Machiavellian 4GW/5GW tactics. change blurr obfuscate prevaricate obscure muddy et al the lexicon jargon of convoluted syntax the body poltik pathocracy ponerological kakistocracy working for PTB are inclined mandated to approbate.

Ha Ha ! Maybe a few in history but incontemporanous history not many indeed. Community organizer -FAIL!! Jesus was a community organizer, as was Obama, who worked for the Catholic Truman ended with 32% approval; Eisenhower at 60%; Johnson at 49%; Nixon at 23%; Ford at 52%; Carter at 33%; Reagan at 62%; Bush I at 55%; Clinton at 66%; Bush II at 32%. Obama is currently at 57%, or higher than any Presidents since WWII except Reagan and Clinton. History will record his 2 terms and high popularity as a success. Do you hate Jesus? More Crony corporate media jive57% pure bovine excrement. Like 95 million Americans looking for work yet unemployment rate under 5%!! OMG, youre an Obama fanboy? I didnt know people like you still existed. That explains your lack of logic and common sense. Im not a religious type but even I wouldnt compare Jesus to a liar like Obama, thats a huge insult to an ascended master. Droned hundreds of innocents to death.then laughed about it a real piece of work our prez! Theyre all psychopaths, each and every one. Pizzagate gave us just a glimpse behind the curtain of insanity that rules our country. The curtain hasnt been fully opened yet, but it will be. I dont know what kind of person Trump is or what type of president he will be, I dont much care. I didnt vote and Im not responsible for anything that any of them do anymore. Theyre on their own, in their own little world of evil. Everyone has this choice. If we all turned our backs on their circus, stop funding it by giving it our energy, they would pack up their tent and go home. This is all it would take to bring the system down but its so simple no one believes they have this power. Sorry, I didnt mean to preach hehehe. The Catholic Church didnt exist in times of Christ and he didnt affiliate with any religious organization of the period. Also, your obama is rated by the same polls that overwhelmingly chose Clinton for the president. He supposedly admits that corporate media is false news but cherry picks their BS to suit his position. Obama at 57%? Sure and all the polls said Hillary was at 80% and going to win. Who conducted polls.DNC? does the fake news include the fake president, because this creature that you have posing as a president will not become one Untill all my orifices heal over. Obama won two terms and has an approval rating in the top tier, at 57%. Only two Presidents since WWII have had more popular support. Compare Bush (unelected) who ended up in the 20s and Trump, who is approved by only 40% to start! The fake President is a racist attack you will deny, since there is no racism anymore. Hahahah Nobody believes corporate media polls dude. They said hillary had 98% chance to win election. Take a strong cup of coffee! LOL another turbo zinger! And main stream news is CORPORATE/ GOVT propaganda! If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State. Great quote, telling too regarding the threat the internet poses as a form of open source communicationhence the reason their ultimate weapon to shut us down = electronic straight jackets. Decentralized systems being TPTBs bte noire.good example is the Apaches brilliantly adaptive strategy to fight off invaders, the most successful among Native Americans. Described in the Starfish and the Spider http://media.portland.indymedia.org/media/2008/10/380532.pdf Yo, I just started reading Starfish Spider. Its really fascinating, thanks! Youre welcome! I love looking at patterns. I may have told you awhile back, as little kid I was a natural code breaker of everything, figuring out how to read before beginning school, working out basic math principles, all kinds of stuff. Imagine what we could all work out together if given a chance. Oh but we are working it out together! When I was little I was a dot connector. I questioned everything and drew scandalous conclusions that upset everyones apple carts, read precocious classical literature in the third grade. Pssst I dont think were from here. my childhood echos your entrance to this world/dimension much like Blues I would imagine..cheeers Pssst.where are you from? Where did you graduate? I have five degrees from two universities. One in biology, one in botany and three in archeology/anthropology, including the study of human evolution. When we were discussing evolution and Darwin, you accused me of never having read Darwin, and called me ignorant, but I am smart enough to know that what I had to regurgitate in order to obtain all those worthless pieces of paper is WRONG. Do you think this makes me happy? Proud? Worthy of something? No, it pisses me off totally, so I have spent the remaining years of my life having to unlearn all that crap and replace it with truth as best I can. Thats what I do. You, on the other hand, are so convinced youre a genius you are unable to listen anyone but the voices in your head. Ive been trying to make this point to you over and over but youre just TOO FREAKING STUPID to get it. Hear Here! Where did you get your degree and in what subject, blue? He is pulling the education card a Herman Goering quotehow apropos Its from Goebbels Principles of Propaganda. Trump read Hitlers speechs and learned how to use the Big outrageoys lie to sway the masses, as an a natural snake oil salesman. Goering, a morphine addict, was more a Gestapo leader; Goebbels was the Minister of Propaganda. Hitler was also a tweaker. Trump claims he has never taken drugs or alcohol and warns people against it. Yet he sells Trump Vodka! Logic should tell you that if I can spot a quote from Goering without the author being listed..I obviously know about the background history. unless you are altruistically selflessly supplying additional edification for other people to connect the dots. Trump read hitlers speeches. Actually Hitler was a very effective orator. Hitler threw out the bad bankers. Hitler put everyone to work. Hitler was a tweakerwhat does that have to do with the price of potatoes. Trump learned from Hitler, a drug addict, as were many Nazis. The point is that a man who preaches against alcohol but sells Vodka, a man who studied the propaganda techniques of Hitler, is a hypocrite. A man does not necessarily have to drink to sell it.is there a law I am unaware of. Yes, Trump learned this lesson well when he read the book of Hitlers speeches, given to him by a friend. His Big Lie to start his campaign was that the bordere cities are dangerous and that Mexicans are rapists, etc. In fact, the border cities are the safest and undocumented immigrants have a much lower crime rate than US citizens. You can see this documented in my articles on the Big Lie at opednews.com. Check my documentation, check Trumps lies, and then come back and admit that the quote from Goebbels applies very much to Trumps Big Lie, repeated at each rally.l. You have studied trumps behavior? The mexican govt. sends over their worst ..criminals.free loaders.malcontentsbuild the wall.Border towns are a hellhole No, it is based on FBI data, Bureau of Prisons data, and best available evidence. Trumps lie are, he admits, a fantasy to sucker the morons, as he call us. Name-calling is childish; when you dismiss evidence with smears, you lose. FBI data well now then it must be right.they never politicize statistics do they. Corporate media in the USA and around the world has been posting State Department propaganda as news for years. The recent rise in alternative media has them flabbergasted and in a sweat because they are no longer controlling the narrative. its time to understand that the government has been taken over by the corporate elites. No sh** tell us something we dont already know. Notice he (and the left establishment as a rule) never point their finger at the banksters because that will implicate the Rockefellers Rockefellers UN constructs (esp. Agendas 21 and the Marxist gulag that will be the final phases of 2030). When the banks are mentioned its only on the level of reforming the system into a bigger, uglier beast they put lipstick and falsies on their new technocracy package to sell it. His commentary along this entire thread is a demonstration of his limited hangout BS spiel. No they love globalism because it can impose rules. Its always about control, right? Try to dig into UN Agenda 2030 if you can. It represents a level of control most people cant begin wrap their heads around hard core techno feudal Marxism cloaked in seductive SMART technology. So the MSM spew would have us believe that: BTW: Please put up a warning the next time the no-name potus face is posted. Purdy much freaked me out. You are poisoning the well of legitimate conspiracy facts with absurdities, the very tactic used by the CIA to block investigations into the JFK murder, 9/11, etc. Dont do the work of the Cia; expose their tactics, which includes lumping absurd and legitimate allegatins together in order to discredit all of them . no-name potus face is a form of cultural genocide, racist and ugly. Take it easy with the university PC crap ..dale Another fake headline and lie: Obama did not say alternative media but partisan news venues, Does anyone doubt this is true? Partisan news media do spread propaganda: that is their mission. The word partisan has numerous connotations depending on the POV of the person using it. This is ObamaSpeak for whatever we dont sanction is partisan. Partisan has a very clear meaning: it means a view that favors one party or another. It does not mean alternative media since the alternative media is a hodgepodge of all views. You are trying to escape from recognizing a lie: partisan is not alternative. Why are you attacking me? Im not trying to escape anything. Partisan can certainly mean alternative, meaning alternative to the propaganda narrative. Whats your beef exactly? partisan Information is not an attack but a gift. Why did you single out the enemy of the right wing in one of her more truthful statements? Partisan does not equal alternative, since alternative includes all points of view. Partisan means working on behalf of a party iin the context Obama referenced, not WWII fighters. Fox, NBC, etc are partisan; the alternative media includes all partisan viewpoints, as well as independent and objective news sources. Fox is partisan but not alternative. The terms are not interchangeable. I mean not to attack but to expose errors, which is a gift. No, alternative does not include all POVs, it only means non-mainstream media/agenda. The only error being made here is that you assume you know everything and that I am in need correction. You can stop lecturing now, that would be a gift. It actually does. Non-stream includes all points of view. I assume only that logic is better than illogic. You are commting the logical fallacy of the undistributed middle. Correcting errors is a gift, not an insult. Alternative media includes all (common) viewpoints. Therefore, Alternative media does not = partisan viewpoints, tho in includes them. Please dont be offended. Well fine, dale, if that makes you happy. But again, what difference, at this point, does it make? Thats not just a Hillary quote, it sums up the entire system the matrix minions have set up. The corporations and their elitist owners own the matrix that allows alternative media to exist. They can take the whole thing down in a second if they want to, so parsing partisan ad nauseum is pointless given the bigger picture. The only reason they dont take it all down is because their commercial interests such as trading platforms and little start ups like Amazon would be financially affected. Thats the whole purpose behind this fake media ploy, to target the part of the freewheeling internet that has become annoying. You may think you are educating me, but you are not very adept at reading between the lines of the lies. What pleases me is seeing lies and myths, which enslave us, exposed. Taking a quote out of context in a partisan way and then saying it sums up the entire system is not logical. There is much fake media: activist post posts fake news all the time, including this article. I have a world class education, since you criticize my reading skills, a the top public and private universities in the world under top scholars: I got it by rising from parents with 8th grade education through my proven intellectual skills. So, where were you educated to be qualifed to say I lack critical skills? You can read my expose of lies at Quora and opednews and other alternative media to correct your mistaken impression that I lack the education to read between the lines. I have read between your lines and find an inability to distinguish partisan If you wish to converse with me, said Voltaire, define your terms. Wow, Im impressed. World class, eh? And a journalist too? Then you should at least understand that what I wrote was not partisan (you might to go back and reread the synonyms and connotations I provided for you) nor was it out of context because Hillarys quote thoroughly summarized the context of everything that has happened since she uttered those words to Congress who, BTW are all educated like you and so freaking smart they believed her and said basically, Well yes, its all in the past and let her slide, again, leading to what is happening today with the fake news agenda that caused her to lose, so she claims. Those words exactly describe the situation then and now. and stop bragging. It makes you look petulant and haughty. Self proclaimed world classa legend in his own mind. Ivy League which gave us Yale Skull Bones. Kerry Bush. Dale a Harvard educated political scientist who refuses to flesh out the most seminal pol sci tome of our time, Quigleys Hope and Tragedy, and once told me the Hegelian dialectic was NOT a factor in domestic political or geopolitical machinations. Yea ivy league boy.lives off mom and dads money I bet.. in his 70s, I believe guessing he drank the 60s era Marxist Kool Aid, probably an apologist for Obamas domestic terrorist old pal Bill Ayers (still publicly good friends). Ayers, being a convicted felon Communist Weather Underground bombings in the US, formally classified as a domestic terrorist. Ayers famously told an FBI undercover agent on wire tap it would be necessary to exterminate millions of Americans (patriots, thought criminals) when the final communist revolution comes to the US, which is now cloaked in 2030 technocracy.going back to the 1930s calling for dismantling of the electoral college system. Voila! Another example of Hegelian sorcery: problem, reaction, solution. Wow he actually said that about hegelian dialecticgeez..amazing. All you have to do is look at Europe with muslim immigration. Exactly, one of a gazillion examples. Dale we have all figured out is an intellectual snob who loves to obfuscate. The problem with a pathological liar such as obama is that anyone who disagrees with him is wrong. By the way it is pretty obvious from listening to him. He is also delusional. I think you are looking in the mirror, steve. You lie so you think everyone lies: denial/projection. There are many documented lies on obamahe is CIA from way back..mother worked for ford foundation. Didnt know she worked for F.F., interesting. Good tip. I had read she worked for a CIA front overseas. Its been a long time, I should look for more background. Love busting his chopsso easyyes his moms boss at FF was.Frank Geithner..ring a bell.father of Tim geithner.obamas boy at fed or treasury in the past. Remember didnt pay taxes on his house or something. Not to butt in here but re: the Geithner connection right after Obama was elected, Geithner was the first person he nominated, the ink wasnt even dried on the voting ballots yet. I went into a total meltdown because I knew this was the signal that all was well to all those who placed him in the White House, and that wed been had again. Its one giant incestuous orgy of deceit. dont get me started hahaha, sorry for butting in. Its ok to butt in its a group thing anyway Do u believe this guysteve Bannon is a fascist.?..and he tells me not to insulttypical leftist slug. Oh man, Geithner, huh? What a tangled web, wholly crap. btw, your comment didnt show up yet, delay or memory holed. Not that Im surprised as long as Ive been at this. We know the major plots are deep and go back decades, generations, etc. Yesterday I was thinking about Assange and all the hideous baggage he has, to apparently include having grown up in an Australian eugenicist cult, The White Brotherhood, that was directly tied to a psychiatric institute receiving LSD from the CIA, had to be for the MK Ultra program. Freakin bizarro Twilight Zone. Gotta laugh or we would go nuts. If you believe obama tells the truth than you have issues. I just nailed Dale on Sunstein (devil in Obama admin) a few ticks up the thread. Love to pull his pants down, metaphorically speaking! Good job thx, you too, great nipping at his heels Wrong, Dale. The alternative media being referred to here is alternate to the mainstream. You are lecturing us in logic, as though to children who sit at your feet. We dont. Over the years youve been accused of writing for money, presenting a limited hangout for the PTB. Ive no opinion on the truth or falsity of the money accusation, but the limited hangout part? What you consistently do is commandeer conversations with unasked for encyclopedic facts and pastes about dots, often which are not germane but appear thrown in solely to impress and overwhelm, and you thereby attempt to take down the connections people who try to connect the dots are attempting to make. You sidetrack. Would it help for us to all simply acknowledge that yes, you can type, yes, you put a lot of time (which many of us dont possess enough of) into your efforts to prove youre smarter than some of the commenters here, that yes, you can wear others down? Fine. I doubt it would make a difference if we voted you Commenter of the Year. You arent smarter than all the commenters here. Just some of them. The rest of us, we watch you set up straw man arguments, declare victory, and we wonder why you changed the subject under discussion. This ones not about Jesus vs. Obama, not about the rules of logic (trust me, some of us have studied the subject), Trumps arguable failings, or about peoples feelings. Its about a departing US President attacking dissenting media in such a way as to legitimize the altering the outcome of the Electoral vote, before it happens. Hes saying the Russians are the enemy, they hacked the Democratic Partys emails to influence the popular election, ergo its okay for the Electoral College to vote as they choose, not as their states people have chosen. Thats the topic under discussion, Dale. Kurt Nimmo nails it: Obama says if Russian news picks up and repeats stories from OUR alternate news sources, theyre disseminating propaganda, ergo our alternate media is guilty of spreading propaganda. You like logic? Thats called a circular argument. Yea dale you are a real limited hangout why dont you bug off or crawl back under that liberal rock whence you came. Non stream includes cointelpro, Operation Mockingbird, and all of the metastasizing crushing dark monstrosity of disinformation and mind control officially launched in the 1950s?? The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves. Lenin Theres the rub, cointelpro controlled opposition being presented as alternative to establishment organsshades of Gladio. While legitimate respectful erudite alternative perspectives to establishment BS such as 9/11 Truth are accused of having crippled epistemologies by Obama Ministry of Truth Czar Cass Sunstein who sought to attack 9/11 Truth via his Cognitive Infiltration program. After David Ray Griffin exposed Sunsteins fraud and mendacity, he left the Obummer admin to slink back to Harvard, your alma mater (literally nursing mother of elite BS groupthink). He calls it partisan because it does not believe his jive BS. He used the phrase domestic propaganda. We had plain old terrorists, then they gave us domestic terrorists. We had plain old propaganda, now Obama is giving us domestic propaganda. The connection seems pretty clear. I dont think we need to be schooled on what he meant. Anyone who gets their news from non-MSM sites such as these knows exactly who and what he meant. He was equating dissenting news with foreign propaganda, thus dissenting views with siding with the enemy. The blurring of these lines of thought goes hand in glove with confusing the revelations of whistleblowers and independent reporters with hacking. They not the same. Still, if the emails are real, however obtained, this is not a court of law, this is not the OJ trial. The glove fits beyond any reasonable doubt; that is not partisan, that is not propaganda, that is not fake news. Yes, so have we all. There is foreign propaganda and domestic propaganda, including the corporate media. More Americans have been killed in right-wing attacks than jihadist ones since 9/11 When you take a term out of context, you need to be schooled. There are fake news sites. I I think Brietbart, selfnewspost, Townhall and Twitchy all earn that badge; but the corporate media from Fox to NBc also does propaganda. What is your point? That Obama is evil, or a black demon or some such lunacy? Our greatest enemies are ourselves: since 9/11, the US killed over half a million civilians in nations that nothing to do with 9/11 and about 200,000 Americans have murdered each other (54% family and friends). My point regarding what Nimmo said in this article (which is mainly quotes from Obama) is that our US President wants us to believe that sites such as this one are propaganda, because they are copied by Russian news, which is propaganda ipso facto. This is circular reasoning, not logic. It would be the same as if a victim of plagiarism were accused of copying because his work was copied without attribution. My point regarding my take on the timing behind Obamas charge that Trump won the election with the help of domestic propaganda is that hes leveling this scurrilous charge prior to the vote of the Electoral College, giving Democrats (who illegitimately ousted Sanders) and old-school Republicans (who tried to oust Trump early in the campaign), a justification for voting against Trump, despite their states wishes. My point regarding you is that your modus operandi repeatedly is to change the subject under discussion, then hold forth. Which you just did again. He misquoted Obama; he lied. That is my point. Obama is world class liar and war criminal ask people of libya. Schooled by an Obama sycophant no sir. Obama killed innocent thousands with unlawful use of drones. He is a war criminal. Anybody who disagrees with him he considers partisan No, thats not what he said; thats what you put in his mouth: the straw man fallacy. Obama does not give any credence to anybody who disagrees with him. He sees independent media who refuse to worship at his altar growing by leaps and bounds and is desperate. Soon he will be gone. The ratings for mainstream media are plummeting . The gardening channel draws more viewers than CNN. Pretty sad.for them..ha-ha for me. ae911truth The no-name potus is the master of fake news. Oh ben Shapiro said.. well I guess that settles it.wowI am really impressed..Ben Shapiro. Dale is peddling SPLC propaganda lines. Southern Poverty Law Center is a far left think tank directly tied to the CIA tasked with defining peaceful American patriots and dissenters as extremists. They work on the level of Tavistock, seriously. I tangled with their gatekeepers on immigration reform forums 13-14 years ago. This was a large strongly conservative [gatekeeper] organization being fed talking points and gatekeeping strategy from Globalist neocon infused think tanks such as Heritage. My take on Andrew Breitbart is he was assassinated because he was a true conservative / patriot that wouldnt sell out, not unlike the late Congressman Larry McDonald. Breitbart still has a solid base of true conservative elements, however, word to the wise, stay frosty for globalist neocon infiltration. This would be the set up to demonize us. Dales BS being exhibit A. Just food for thought. SPLC Dale you little rat you! Truth ! Obama signed the Propaganda Law in 2013 he is the reason there is sooo much Fake News in his media circle. Using Propaganda against your own people should be a treasonous offense at least ! A Gr8 mini dissertation/ data dump really well collated exceeedingly erudite I learned a few new things gottaluvitcheers Thanks, Eddy. Wonderful compliment, even better knowing its from a highly gifted thinker, and a very compassionate one at that! It was a mental swinggggggggg @blue579 dear enlighten one , we must be wary of the way we project our true knowledge from the eye mostly on a blog like this one. Obama is making it clear that the government wants to put a stop to homeland terrorist . Calling alternative media propaganda. This is a red flag. Be prepared. You are the resistance. Messiah, I dont mean to bust in to your reply to blue but since Im the one having the conversation with her, I have a vested interest in what youre implying here. Has free speech been rescinded? Cause I didnt get that memo. And we cant use certain words because Obama placed red flags on them? Really? Because that kind of self-monitoring is exactly the point of propaganda, to get everyone to shut up and stay in their little holes. And there is no resistance that Im aware of and Im not sure what youre implying with that either. Im just trying to understand the point you are making. Thank you for your concern as you seem to mean well and have good intentions. I assure you Im mindful of what I post, though not governed by any type of fear or bravado. Interlaced in what I write are the threads of truth. If TPTB decide to pull these threads they will unravel their own lies. Were quickly running out of time to speak truth to power, and, imo, a cowering will only encourage more censorship. They test us and wait for a response. If we surrender to fear and dont engage in energized peaceful activism, then we will head down a path towards an unimaginable level of control and tyranny now being tested in China. We need to speak now, the ghosts of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend our freedom cry out for our cool headed defense of human dignity. Regards, Blue579 He didnt say that. Geesh, youre a freaking genius I had to read that three times to collect it all up. You come from a completely different intellectual POV than I do, which is great. I guess thats why we have these conversations. I do indeed hold evolution science (and most other sciences) as cointelpro and your 95/5% is close if not exact. probably more like a certain prescribed range of truth/cowdung that works especially well to hack the human brain and heart. The math doesnt matter really, the intent is paramount. Darwin is an alleged freemason, depending on which source you believe, and we know conintelpro has been going on for centuries, theyre smoother than horse snot at this point. (BTW- Ive always hated that stupid graphic of the knuckle-dragging primate on the left slowly morphing into a man. It makes me want to scream.) All cointelpro is designed to either box us in and/or give our power to others. Once you see the game well, what am I telling you that for???? LOL. So do you think we choose our parents and an avatar body to be born into? Thank you for your generous compliments, OS. The math is only important because its a great resonant glimpse into the strategy and flow of Source. Human language is too crude to convey it all, thus the language of mathematics (its a language, not a measure of absolutes) is another guide and window. I use it intuitively to gauge the reliability of the information and models Im scanning (involving synthesis of big concepts most days), its much faster than the usual approach to discernment. Yes, the 95/5 fits into a prescribed range, depends on the targeted group. I know about Darwin and his entire ilk of associations, slippery for sure. Remember, Im riding that thin line of duality, which Mother Nature and Source are infinitely adept at. Me, Im a bumbling amateur, who gets lucky via channeling Inspector Clouseau, sometimes with slightly more skill thanks to Grace. To answer your last question, it feels as though Im here for a purpose and some highly unusual and difficult experiences were required to prepare me for the task I chose or was asked to perform. I imagine thats what led me to this life. Nice exchange, R, thanks, much gratitude and 3. To be continued Hey OS, several months ago, while searching for a link for The Starfish and the Spider to pass along, I came across a nice little comment summary inspired by the book. It looked like it might be a useful addition to the share (I heavily edited it for clarity). Here it is in case you want more decentralization ramblings as food for thought or as a simple outline for others in your circle. 8 PRINCIPLES OF DECENTRALIZATION 1. When attacked, a decentralized organization tends to become even more open and decentralized: 2. Its easy to mistake starfish for spiders: 3. An open system doesnt have central intelligence; the intelligence is spread throughout the system: 4. Open systems can easily adapt / change: 5. Decentralized organizations can make faster progress, are nimble, can more easily sneak up on opponents. 6. As industries become decentralized, overall profits decrease: 7. Positive feedback loop: voluntary contributions to an open system encourage more participation. 8. When attacked, centralized organizations tend to become even more centralized. Just below this comment, I sent two replies that got moded so you wont get an email notice about them isnt technology grand? Bummer. Theyre hoping we arent persistent, resilient, and thinkin like the Apache! You can try posting on other comments of mine elsewhere, a message in a bottle via cut / paste. Didnt explain myself well. They were posted on the thread right below this comment, youll have to link through to see them, but it seems whenever there is a mod delay for an embedded link, you dont get an email notification. These replies start: This is my. wunder.. and This is very handy. Call me Persistent Apache. Its all about control. Can we add the Codex Alimentarius to centralization ? Yes, exactly good example. The reason also Obamacare was designed to implode in to a single payer system. Spot on. Evolution is an observable fact. Thats obvious. Its the mechanism/process thats up for debate. Natural selection is the process; it is also observable. No, thats not the process. NS is a process but not the process. Darwin was FOS. You may feel comfortable believing you descended from apes, but I most certainly did not. You are now demonstrating your ignorance. Humans did not evolve from apes, gorillas or chimps. We are all modern species that have followed different evolutionary paths, though humans share a common ancestor with some primates, such as the African ape. livescience.com You not only misunderstand Darwin (whom you have clealry never read) but you make statements which he would denounce as false. We have common ancestry. You are FOS. That may explain your discomfort with a falsification of Darwins ideas. Oh, yes.. youre that pompous a$$ from Harvard who spent your life being spoon-fed elite BS. Most of us who were also educated have realized almost everything we were spoon fed was untrue. You havent, youre still spouting it like chimp. Livescience? Dont make me laugh. Paleoarcheologists have never been able to agree on a path of human evolution, in part because some of the major finds have been dismissed, partly because the dating methods are badly flawed. Any fossil that doesnt fit into this ridiculous mess https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/36a578fda93cd7d3a8152f07e9f4c8c1ad318de7dfa1692d5629af45327f6aa9.jpg is shoved in a drawer, anything that might fit is shoved into a falsified sequence that is full of false assumptions based on a single tooth or a femur. People spend their entire lives arguing over this because theyre missing the most important fact of all it, that natural selection is not the process. And meanwhile the missing link is still missing. Since youre an expert at everything, why dont you go find it? Become an internet hero instead of a internet stooge. When you lack a rational response and resort to crude insults, you lose. This is true, you have insulted me numerous times just on this thread. Your moth example is a joke. In case you havent noted, moths are not humans. We are the product of genetic hybridization not natural selection. I could parry with hundreds of articles and excellent discussions of this very topic, but they dont agree with your existing existential beliefs so you will just insult me some more. Bye, you common ancestor types bore the crap out of me. The evolution of the peppered moth is an evolutionary instance of colour variation in the moth population as a consequence of the Industrial Revolution. The concept refers to an increase in the number of dark-coloured moths due to industrial pollution, and a reciprocal decrease in the population in a clean environment. Hence, the phenomenon is called industrial melanism. It is the first recorded and experimented case of Charles Darwins natural selection in action, and remains as a classic example in the teaching of evolution.[1][2] Sewall Wright described it as the clearest case in which a conspicuous evolutionary process has actually been observed. Wiki I stand with the scientists. Hahaha of course you do, science is a religion and youre a believer. Heres an evolutionary fact: natural selection is based on the premise that successful species are the ones who adapt to change. Can we agree on that? Well, you, as a human being, have already established your belief paradigms and are way more interested in impressing the rest of us with your knowledge than you are in examining new evidence and changing facts. You are not evolving, dale, youre still slaving away in Platos cave. You might learn something from all the knowledgeable people communicating on this thread if you stopped badgering everyone with your fossilized, outdated information and started treating intelligent people with the respect they deserve. You dont have all the answers. Real intelligence understands that. Your car, your tv, your computer, the internet, etc etc are all based on science. Science is based on evidence, religion on believing the absurd. You are dead wrong. I dont have all the answers; thats why I listen to the experts. Real intelligence goes to the evidence, the science, the people who have studied it and surivived peer review. I wont waste any more time with you. Science is a religion..hahahahah. Computers are technology, dale. They are based on science. Evolution is not science, its a religion. Newton, Darwin and Einstein- these are priests of the holy trinity of western science. And below these are the elders: Watson, Crick, Dawkins, Hawking, Dennet, Chomsky, Penrose and Sagan. And then you have the High Priests: the Nobel Prize winners, the popular writers and the media celebrities like Michio Kaku. Their opinions are received as sermons, and their statements are quoted like sacred texts. Ordinary people are ridiculed if they doubt the interpretations of this priesthood. Even for scientists, questioning a member of a higher tier is done only at the risk of losing their careers. Junk DNA isnt junk, The Big Bang is a big flop, pharmaceuticals cure disease all junk science and dogma proven wrong. Science is evolving and until it stops, its a religion. Me too, thats how I interpret (and remember?) 5D, going way back and I betcha you had strong inklings as a kid too. Im so glad The Starfish and The Spider felt a little bit like coming home. There have been some deep and lively discussions of what we can create under decentralized systems with their natural self organizing proclivities. Its a great exploration of what weve been missing. I checked out your photographs and absolutely love them, you most certainly have the eye and a gift! The mountains shots remind me of wonderful experiences hiking the Rockies in my area. Ill take another close look at the pics in the next few days. Nature is the most amazing eye candy on the planet, who needs diamonds and Ferraris? Not me! lol What a great treat, thanks for sharing your art, R. See ya around! Youre most welcome, glad you enjoyed the visual nature parade. Now Im seeing decentralization where it has blossomed in other places due to this new blueprint you have given me. Yes, its remembering, like coming home. Thank you from the bottom of my little bee heart! Anytime, always at your service. BTW, I just wanted to mention Ive gotten to know a few of the wundeground photographers and they tell me that whenever they get sad or depressed, they go and look at everyones daily postings of photographs to lift their spirits. I go almost every day myself and I find that being in this circle has really enriched my life in unexpected ways. If you have more time to explore and enjoy gazing at beautiful photos, the World View selection shows the best of the photos of the week. Its really very remarkable to have this constant flow of beautiful images rolling like a nature film partaking is food for the soul. Love you and Happy Solstice from me! Great tip, OS, thank you. Ill most definitely check it out! I find nature photography is the best soul food, only second to mindfully experiencing the real thing. Happy Solstice to you too!! Hugs and much love! No you are the F student your truth is not truth but lies 
2	Majority Of Americans Want Sarah Palin To Go Away A new poll conducted by The Wall Street Journal, NBC News, and Annenberg revealed something shocking: it appears that Republicans and Democrats can actually agree on something. According to the survey, 67% of Democrats and 40% of Republicans revealed that they would like to be hearing less from former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Palin, who no longer holds any position in office nor is a candidate for any position, has become a celebrity of sorts. She uses her fame to post her political opinions on her Facebook. And although the posts receive a decent amount of attention, it appears that Americans are simply sick of listening to her. The survey was conducted in the first week of this month, just before Breitbart released an article from the vocal former governor in which she called for the impeachment of President Obama. In the single piece of writing she offended Democrats and insulted House Speaker John Boehner, claiming that his intention to sue Obama was simply not enough. What do you think of Sarah Palin? 
3	Kalief Browder, Jailed at Rikers as a Teen for 3 Years Without Trial, Kills HimselfBy Lily Dane In 2014,Jennifer Gonnerman of The New Yorker brought attention to Browders plight with her poignantarticle titled Before the Law. Browder ended up in one of Americas most corrupt and violent prisons after being accused at age 16 of stealing a backpack on May 15, 2010. Because his family was unable to raise his $10,000 bail and because of repeated court delays and an overwhelmed system, Browder was forced to endure three years of hell including beatings and deprivation of food at Rikers Island waiting for a trial that never happened. He refused to accept several plea deals on principle, maintaining his innocence throughout his entire ordeal. Browderspent more than 1,000 days in prison. Two years of that was spent in solitary confinement. He tried to end it allat least six times while at Rikers. In in February 2012, he made two attempts: he tried to hang himself from the light fixture in his cell using a noose he made with torn bed-sheets, and then tried to slit his wrists with a piece of plastic. New York prosecutors finally dropped the charges against him on May 29, 2013 which was histhirty-first court date. But Browders personal hell didnt end with his release from Rikers. In November of 2013, six months after he left the prison, Browder attempted suicide again. He attempted to slit his wrists, but was halted when a friend stopped by and intervened. When the friend left the house to find Browders mother, he tried to hang himself. Browder was then taken to the psychiatric ward at St. Barnabas Hospital. Paul V. Prestia, Browders attorney, told the Los Angeles Times that every day was a struggle for Browder, who died at his home in the Bronx at age 22. I think what caused the suicide was his incarceration and those hundreds and hundreds of nights in solitary confinement, where there were mice crawling up his sheets in that little cell, Prestia said in a phone interview Sunday evening. Being starved, and not being taken to the shower for two weeks at a time those were direct contributing factors. That was the pain and sadness that he had to deal with every day, and I think it was too much for him. Prestia then became emotional, his voice wavering as he recalled Browder, whom he said hadnt had mental health problems before he was arrested and jailed in 2010. He was a good friend of mine I wasnt just his attorney, you know? Prestia went silent for a few seconds, then continued: He was a really good kid. When Gonnerman interviewed Browder in October 2014, he told her the progress he made since being home didnt feel like much to him: Its been a year now, and I got a part-time job, and I got my G.E.D., he said. But, when you think about it, thats nothing. People tell me because I have this case against the city Im all right. But Im not all right. Im messed up. I know that I might see some money from this case, but thats not going to help me mentally. Im mentally scarred right now. Thats how I feel. Because there are certain things that changed about me and they might not go back. According to Prestia, Browder was attending a community college in the Bronx, and had a 3.5 GPA. When he came out [of jail] and I first met him, he was completely broken I had to show him how to use a computer; he had to get a job. These were issues he was going to have for his whole life. Its not his fault. He didnt deserve that. Browders family wants to ensure that what happened to their loved one doesnt happen to anyone else. In a statement provided to the Los Angeles Times, they said: After fighting so hard to get out of jail and then fighting on the outside to restart his life he ultimately was unable to overcome his own pain and torment, which emanated from his experiences in solitary confinement. We ask the public to respect our privacy during this very difficult time, and we pray that Kaliefs death will not be in vain. We ask that the mayor and every public official in New York City take every action possible to ensure that no other person in New York City will ever again be forced to live through all that Kalief endured. Browder wasnt the first adolescent to suffer abuse and mistreatment at Rikers, but his tragic case helped bring attention to the rampant corruption at the prison. In December 2014,Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that NYC had ended punitive isolation for young inmates following a damning Justice Department report that described a culture of violence at Rikers. When you go over the three years that he spent [in jail] and all the horrific details he endured, its unbelievable that this could happen to a teenager in New York City. He didnt get tortured in some prison camp in another country. It was right here! said Prestia. But sadly, Browders case isnt really that unusual. The US has an ever-growing prison population. In fact, wedont just have the worlds largest prison population per capita, we blow every other country out of the water, asAndrew Pontbriandpointed out in a recent article. And with that growing prison population comes abuse, corruption, mistreatment, and exploitation. Many of the incarcerated are locked up for non-violent, victimless crimes and many of those inmates are mentally illand do not receive proper care, and are more likely to be abused than other prisoners. And lets not forget Chicago polices black site at Homan Square, which operated for who knows how long before its existence was revealed to the publicby The Guardian earlier this year. There, Americans have been disappeared and denied basic Constitutional rights: they are held in secret without being permitted to contact family members or attorneys, left out of official booking databases, beaten, shackled, and allegedlysexually abused. One has to wonder if Homan Square is the only facility of its kind in America. But perhaps the most disturbing fact about the American justice system is this: approximatelytwo million children are arrested every year 95% for non-violent crimes; and the United States incarcerates 5 times more children than anywhere else on earth. In 2010, approximately 70,800 juveniles were incarcerated in youth detention facilities alone.Approximately 500,000 youth are brought to detention centers in a given year.This data does not reflect juveniles tried as adults. Around 40% are incarcerated in privatized, for-profit facilities. This is America. These kinds of things arent supposed to happen here. We deserve better than this, and so do our children. Lily Dane is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared. Her goal is to help people to Wake the Flock Up! Well, this is just sad as shit and my heart goes out to his family and friends. I wasnt aware of this particular case until now, which I cant hardly believe but you cant know em all. Tragic, thats all Ill say. We all know the underlying problems so theres no use rehashing, the article covers it well enough. Blessed are the whistle-blowers for they are the light of justice and blessed are the protectors for they are the shield of wisdom. In my mind I see many a Homan Square; the thought of what goes on in the underground bunkers of our alien/military/industrial/complex, haunts me daily. Tens of thousands of missing in this country each year with true terror lurking in these protected halls of experimentation and there is a reason why the FBI doesnt find them; do you know the reason why? Makes me wonder if Rikers is one of those numerous privately-run prisons that are contracted with by municipalities and are provided a 90% occupation rate. Very sad situation. I want to be on a jury for a non-violent crime soooobad. NO CONVICTION. thats exactly what happens. Ive sat in several court sessions and through my job met many people who relate to exactly to that. The purpose of the Defense attorney to get plea agreements in 90% of cases in order to maintain 200% maximum occupancy in the jails. Its a game of numbers and to them we are just a number. If you dont have $ to hire an attorney who often also pays off the judge, then you dont exist. Unacceptable in a modern world. The system had FAILED ALL OF US. What are we paying them for and why are we allowing this? We WILL live to see the passing of this tyrannical chapter in our history. The young man crossed over to a place of unconditional Love. The basic Constitutional rights being denied to Americans in instances such as the one described above must be understood in the context that, at law, the only right a Constitutor has is the right to freely pay the debts incurred by another; ( please confirm in a reputable law dictionary; ) hardly the basis for a just and equitable system of governance. You will note that the United States itself is a registered entity, and thus, also of the King. 
2	26 States Stand Up Against Obama President Barack Obama may think he is a king, but state leaders are not about to let him act like one. That was made abundantly clear when 26 states recently partnered to request relief from an Environmental Protection Agency order demanding that they reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by 32%. The Conservative Tribune reports that the states have called on the Supreme Court to temporarily discontinue the requirement pending the outcome of the lawsuit against it. Leaders from the state argue that it will do irreparable harm. Obamas White House attorneys were quick to shut down the proposal, claiming that the states have had ample time to comply with the order. They also claim that state leaders arent required to submit compliance plans until 2018 and changes arent required to go into effect until 2022. The relief that applicants request would be extraordinary and unprecedented, Solicitor General David Verrilli, who is in favor of the EPA rule, told reporters. Their applications should be denied. The majority of states, however, maintain that the financial repercussions of the plan would be devastating. Ultimately, the order would require that more tax money be spent on unsuccessful programs designed to back solar and wind companies. What do you think? Do we need a leader who cares about the needs of our states and citizens? 
3	Poland Bans Genetically Modified CropsAlex Pietrowski, Contributor Recently, the European Union approved two GM crops for Europe, Monsantos MON810 Maize, and BASFs Amflora Potato, however, Polands ban will take effect on January 28th. To justify the enactment of these regulations, the Ministry of Agriculture pointed out to the impossibility of the coexistence of GM crops and the natural varieties, without the risk of contamination of the latter. The Ministry also draws attention to the threat of contamination of honey by pollen of maize MON 810 and the lack of research supporting the safety of GM crops on the environment and human health.

3	Investigation Exposes How Saudi Arabia has Been Tasking and Directly Funding CIA Black OpsBy Andrew Emett According to a recent New York Times investigation, President Obama covertly authorized the CIA to begin arming the Syrian rebels in 2013, with funding and weapons from Saudi Arabia and a few other countries. Code-named Timber Sycamore, the clandestine operation initially authorized the CIA to provide nonlethal assistance and training to the rebels but not weapons. A few months later, the president amended the parameters by allowing the CIA to arm the rebels and deliver lethal assistance while receiving funding and weapons from Saudi Arabias intelligence agency, the General Intelligence Directorate, including TOW anti-tank missiles and AK-47 assault rifles. Besides Saudi Arabia, the CIA has also received covert financing from Qatar, Turkey, and Jordan in an effort to support the Syrian rebels. While financing the enemies of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the U.S. government has provided funding and weapons to al Qaeda-linked fighters and foreign jihadists invading Syria. Although the CIA refuses to disclose how much money the Saudis have contributed toward arming and supporting the Syrian rebels, estimates from intelligence sources place the cost at several billion dollars. During the 1980s, the Saudis began bribing the CIA by helping to finance covert operations in Angola, spending millions of dollars to arm mujahedeen rebels fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, and donating $32 million, paid through a Cayman Islands bank account, to fund contra rebels in Nicaragua during the Iran-Contra affair. In the 1990s, current CIA Director John Brennan was the agencys station chief in Riyadh. Former colleagues assert Brennan remains close friends with Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the Saudi interior minister tasked with arming the Syrian rebels. On September 30, 2011, two Predator drones launched from a secret CIA base in Saudi Arabia, crossed the border into northern Yemen, and fired Hellfire missiles at a vehicle containing Anwar al-Aulaqi, commonly misspelled as al-Awlaki, of New Mexico. The government would later learn one of the passengers in Anwars vehicle had been another U.S. citizen, Samir Khan. On the evening of October 14, 2011, Anwars innocent 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman, attended a barbeque with his friends and cousins when a CIA drone butchered everyone in the vicinity. According to a 2013 NSA memo exposed by whistleblower Edward Snowden, relations between the U.S. and Saudi intelligence communities became strained after the first Gulf War in 1991. The NSA experienced years of stagnation while attempting to work with the Saudi Ministry of Defense, Radio Reconnaissance Department. But in December 2012, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper authorized sharing signals intelligence (SIGINT) with the Saudi Ministry of Interiors Technical Affairs Directorate. By providing technical assistance and decryption tools to the MOI, Clapper gave the Saudi government the ability to improve their surveillance systems and spyware against political dissidents, bloggers, and human rights activists. Each year, the U.S. State Department reports that the Saudi government was once again responsible for arbitrary arrests, denial of due process, detaining political prisoners, human trafficking, torturing prisoners to death, and a myriad of other abuses. A Saudi human rights lawyer and activist named Waleed Abu al-Khair received 15 years in prison for undermining the state and insulting the judiciary. Mukhlif Shammari received 5 years for writing about the mistreatment of Saudi women. While in prison, a human rights activist named Mekhlef bin Daham al-Shammary was hospitalized after government officials poured antiseptic cleaning liquid down his throat. Last month, the U.S. government disclosed that the Saudi king had given President Obama and his family approximately $1.35 million in gifts throughout 2014. Before his passing last year, King Abdullah reportedly spent over $9.8 million on U.S. lobbyists between 2012 and 2013. Although prostitution has become a job requirement for our politicians and lobbyists, the CIA has decided to ally itself with an abusive regime known for public beheadings and crucifixion of political dissidents. After decades of accepting Saudi bribes, the CIA became culpable in funding terrorist organizations in Syria while attempting to support our allies. Despite the fact that the State Department routinely chastises the Saudi government for numerous human rights violations, the Obama administration did not publicly condemn the recent public beheading of dissident Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr. Image Credit Andrew Emett writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com The Peoples government has been subverted. There are too many examples of peaceful people exercising their rights and being criminalized or just plain brutalized for doing so. Its time to start organizing resistance cells. The world is watching. The CIA has become the Saudi governments obedient lapdog?? Please, not more of this again. The CIA and the Saudi elites serve the same masters at the top of pyramid. The same psychopathic multi-generational cabal who assassinated JFK, RFK, and MLK, engineered WWI and WWII, the rise of Hitler, Mao and Stalin, and are building a NWO to include the New Middle East Project of which the Saudis are tasked with being the main go-to minions. The same reason the Saudis created the middle east version of the EU in 2011, the six nation member GCC that self identifies as the worlds first Smart Regional Government (as in pervasive Smart Grid) with all members on board UN Agendas 21 and 2030, joining several other middle nations such as Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc. Whats next, the 28 redacted pages that tell us the Saudis funded 9/11? Perfect timing. Could it be to create a baloney narrative of a Saudi-US spat that kicks off the end of the petrodollar to be replaced by something even worse? 
3	Arkansas School District Arms Teachers Because Hiding and Locking the Doors Is Not a PlanKimberly Paxton more than 20 teachers, administrators and other school employees in this town will carry concealed weapons throughout the school day, making use of a little-known Arkansas law that allows licensed, armed security guards on campus. After undergoing 53 hours of training, Dougan and other teachers at the school will be considered guards.(source) Staff members will receive 53 hours of training that is geared towards responding to school shooter scenarios from Nighthawk Custom Training Academy, a private training facility in northwest Arkansas. That teacher is going to respond to one thing and one thing alone, and thats someone is in the building either actively or attempting to kill people, explained Jon Hodoway, director of training for Nighthawk. The decision to arm teachers has not made everyone happy. One mother, Sherry Wommack, is removing her son from the school. I think police officers are trained to make those [life and death] decisions, not teachers. There are other vocal opponents to the decision. State officials are not blocking Clarksvilles plan, but Arkansas Education Commissioner Tom Kimbrell is opposed to the idea of arming teachers and staff. He prefers to hire law enforcement officers as school resource officers. There are other dissenters, too. Donna Morey, former president of the Arkansas Education Association, called the idea of arming teachers awful. The risk of a student accidentally getting shot or obtaining a gun outweighs any benefits, she said. We just think educators should be in the business of educating students, not carrying a weapon, Morey said. (source) In recent years, schools have responded to school shootings like the ones in Columbine and Sandy Hook with various kinds of safety and lockdown drills. Not everyone agrees that this is an acceptable plan, and that is why this Arkansas school district decided to arm members of their staff. Many parents would agree with what Superintendent David Hopkins said when explaining the decision. The plan weve been given in the past is Well, lock your doors, turn off your lights and hope for the best. Thats not a plan. In the horrible event of a shooter at your childs school, would you feel better if your child was crouching under a desk or being protected by trained, armed staff members?

2	BREAKING: Eye Witness Comes Forward, Reveals Mike Brown Assaulted Cop Recently, one woman who witnessed the shooting of Michael Brown, and unarmed black teenager, was interviewed by a local reporter. Her comments show that Michael Brown actually assaulted the officer who shot him. The video was posted on the Facebook page of a user named Jermel McCrea. In the beginning of the video, the woman admits that Brown hurt the officers leg at the start of the incident. Must have hit his leg or something, hurt him, I dont know what the hell happened, the woman told the reporter. But I know he shot that child. And when he shot him, the little boy fell. And then he shot him six more times. And, you know, the police was in the car. The first-hand account of the incident implies that there was an altercation that took place in the police cruiser before the shot was fired. The woman does claim that the officer was inside of the vehicle when he shot Brown. 
2	Obama Admin. Attacks Trumps Campaign After Muslim Comments The Obama Administration took things to a new level this week when they attacked presidential candidate Donald Trumps proposal to ban Muslims from coming into the United States. The Trump campaign for months now has had a dustbin-of-history-like quality to it, from the vacuous sloganeering to the outright lies to even the fake hair, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a press conference. The whole carnival-barker routine that weve seen for some time now. Earnest also pleaded with the Republican candidates to stand up against Trump if he wins the Republican nominee. I know that each of the Republican candidates has already taken an oath pledging to support Donald Trump for president of the United States if he wins the nomination, Earnest continued. But the fact is, the first thing a president does when he or she takes the oath of office is to swear an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. The fact is, Earnest concluded, what Donald Trump said yesterday disqualifies him from serving as president. This completely crosses a line. The Obama Administration does not get to decide who our next president is.

3	A Tale of Two Protests: Ukraine and Thailand - Part IIAs unrest continues in both countries, a sharp, hypocritical divide widens for the international community. For audiences around the world watching pro-EU protests unfold in the streets of Ukraines capital of Kiev, they may have noticed flags bearing a lifted hand giving a three-fingered salute. This is the reformed Nazi salute of right-winged nationalist group Svoboda. Along with other racist, bigoted, extremist political parties including Fatherland, Svoboda has filled the streets, clashed with police, occupied government buildings and called for the overthrow of the elected government of Ukraine for the sake of joining the European Union. The EU, for its part, awaits these mobs with open arms. Joining the EU in anticipation is US Senator John McCain of the US National Endowment for Democracys (NED) International Republican Institute. McCain went as far as traveling to Kiev, Ukraine, and even taking to the stage at the protest side-by-side with Svoboda leader Oleh Tyahnybok. One could scarcely imagine what justification John McCain could give for associating with literal Nazis. But one will have to be satisfied with only imagining, since the Western media, charged with seeking the truth, has not raised this question, let alone answered it. Even the Business Insider attempts to give McCain the benefit of the doubt in order to allow the protests to continue and to allow the US, UK, and EU to continue openly supporting them. Other protest leaders in Kiev include Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Oleksandr Turchynov, both of deposed, disgraced, and now currently imprisoned former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenkos All Ukrainian Union or Fatherland party. Both have taken controversial stances regarding homosexuals. In light of the recent Duck Dynasty hysteria, one might believe the Western media would have immediately highlighted Fatherlands bigotry, especially considering the Nazi-pedigree of the party. Arseniy Yatsenyuk would go as far as stating, when his views regarding homosexual marriage were labelled conservative that: And despite all of this, news organizations like the BBC are still attempting to endear global audiences to Ukraines pro-EU Nazis in articles like, Ukraine protests: Singing in the cold. And of course, not all of the protesters are Nazis but those that are not should surely question just what they are supporting when the likes of Svoboda, Fatherland, and John McCain are standing beside them. Back in Bangkok In the hundreds of thousands of protesters taking to the streets in Bangkok, Thailand, you will not find Nazis, nor three-fingered salutes. Neither will you find bigotry or disparagement being aimed at minority groups. There are no political parties leading marches that trace their pedigree back to Adolf Hitler and the global-spanning tragedy that he led the world into. And yet, when anti-regime protesters invited foreign dignitaries from the West to participate in a special press briefing, only Switzerland and Russia would attend. The Thai anti-regime protesters, like in Ukraine, have filled the streets, clashed with police, occupied government buildings and called for the overthrow of the Thaksin Shinawatra regime. Unlike in Ukraine, the West has utterly condemned the protests as violent and undemocratic. Worse yet, the only bigotry one will find against homosexuals in Thailand comes from the Wall Street-backed regime of Thaksin Shinawata, whose sister Yingluck Shinawatra is currently sitting for as prime minister. Indeed, Thaksins red shirt mobs had used violence and intimidation to disrupt and shut down an HIV/AIDS awareness march organized by homosexual groups in the northern city of Chiang Mai, a regime stronghold. Out in Perth reported in their article, Chiang Mai Pride Shut Down by Protests as Police Watch On, that: Organisers were forced to call off Chiang Mais planned second annual Gay Pride Parade on February 21 after harassment from the Rak Chiang Mai 51 political group. When asked what would happen if march organizers decided to ever hold another legally sanctioned event in Chiang Mai, regime demagogue Kanyapak (DJ Aom) Maneejak stated: Evidently, an already approved event must also be cleared by self-appointed arbiters wearing similar colored shirts who use violence and intimidation to crush opposing views a tale that should sound sadly familiar as we recall the history of John McCains Svoboda friends in Ukraine. It would appear then, that US Senator John McCain and the rest of the West who embrace the Nazis of Kiev, have decided to oppose the anti-regime protesters in Bangkok because their sort of regime is already in power in Thailand. It should be no surprise then, that McCains NED directly funds pro-regime propaganda outfits like Thailands Prachatai and hosted red shirt leaders in Washington DC ahead of the last general elections in 2011. Whatever one might think of homosexuals they are human beings and should be afforded the same amount of respect, dignity, and liberty as anyone else. Infringing upon one group opens the door for infringing upon others and then eventually upon us all another maxim learned the hard way during the rise and fall of Nazism. That Thaksins red shirts, whom the West, including the BBC, New York Times, and Reuters seem to portray as the embodiment of democracy, seem to believe otherwise is exactly why protesters have risen up against the regime and have demanded reform before elections, currently scheduled for February 2014. What has allowed Thaksin Shinawatra to remain dug into power for over a decade is most certainly not democracy and the regimes transgressions and thuggery go well beyond disrupting HIV/AIDS awareness marches. For Now It is more than mere fascist ideology that attracts the West to Svoboda in Ukraine and the regime of Thaksin Shinawatra in Thailand it is each groups willingness to make vast economic, social, and political concessions to the corporate-financier interests of the West in exchange for political power built upon foreign-funding, favorable news coverage in the Western press, and appearances by figures like John McCain to lend them legitimacy and drive they themselves lack. The forces opposed to them may not be perfect, but by comparison, and for the sake of both Ukraine and Thailands future and the many otherwise unprotected minorities that reside there, they are the best alternatives. The West, and the Fortune 500 corporations that drive their destinies corporations like Exxon, BP, Monsanto, Chevron, Raytheon, and other giants of big-pharma, agri, defense, oil, and finance will not come to the aid of those opposing Nazis in Ukraine or fascistic, bigoted, violent mobs of red shirts in Thailand. No that task is left to us. We must be the ones to speak up in the silence or confusion created by the Wests media machine and the many little helping hands that carry their propaganda far and wide. We must get organized and work together to not only condemn a world we disagree with, but to build one we believe is better.

2	Trey Gowdy: OBAMA IS NO LONGER MY PRESIDENT, WE WILL CHARGE HILLARY Trey Gowdy has proven that he intends to be relentless in his pursuit for justice for Hillary Clinton. If anyone is going to hold her accountable for the many crimes shes committed, its him. Unfortunately, its a waiting game for now. Many are frustrated that Clinton seems to have walked away as a criminal, facing little consequence for her cheating, scheming, and more. Worst of all, she seems to think the election was stolen from her. Clintons team has been urging the Benghazi Select Committee be shut downbut Gowdy isnt having hit. He recently sent a letter to Defense Secretary Ash Carter, claiming that he intentionally mischaracterizes both the nature of the Committees investigation and its interaction with the Department of Defense. It is also riddled with factual inaccuracies, which not only does a disservice to the public but also does a disservice to the women and men who work for the Department of Defense, he continued. Your staff is welcome to waste taxpayer dollars writing partisan, factually deficient letters to our Committee, coordinate the language with House Democrats, and then leak it to the media. That is your prerogative. Gowdy has also gone after Obama for his gross unacceptable abuse of power. What do we do with a president who can basically change what Congress passed by attaching a letter saying I dont agree with this part or that part? Gowdy asked. What do you think of Gowdys comments? Do you agree with him? 
3	Who Needs SOPA? Media Giants Collude to Punish File SharingCorporate policing of the Internet begins today The new Copyright Alert System(CAS), often referred to as the six strikes anti-piracy scheme due to its gradual increase of warnings and punishments, kicks off today. Media giants and their lobbyists were dealt a crushing defeat when the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was shelved due to overwhelming Internet activism opposing it. Realizing that they cant get a law passed that would throw file sharers in jail, the conglomerates decided to create their own punishment scheme to deal with so-called information pirates. All of the big five Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in America; Comcast, ATT, Cablevision, Time Warner, and Verizon are reportedly participating. The automated system basically works like this: if a file sharer is suspected of infringing activity, theyll receive gradual alerts and warnings from the system, then punishments will range from forced re-education to reduced Internet speeds by the ISPs. Here is a brief video produced by these colluding media companies to explain what users can expect: The Internet freedom and privacy organization, Electronic Frontier Foundation,calls the system a copyright surveillance machine and warns that this system will all but destroy public, or open, WIFI networks which should be protected for the public good. EFF writes: EFFs point that Big Content producers and major ISPs are working together on this cannot be taken lightly. Its noteworthy that Time Warner and Comcast are not only ISP giants but also content providers themselves. Although being cut off completely from Internet or going to jail for suspected piracy is not part of this scheme, EFF says the punishment is still far too harsh: EFF claims we have a simple choice, either we have a few entrenched content companies prosecuting copyright infringement via this automated system or we have and open, well-functioning Internet infrastructure but we cant have both. Many Internet users will find open networks to use or VPNs (virtual private networks) that disguise IP addresses like Hide My Ass in order to bypass the copyright surveillance machine. Yet, whenever there are huge corporate conglomerates colluding to punish a certain online activity without oversight or accountability, we can expect many abuses to occur. Ultimately, this collusion is dangerous especially considering these five ISPs have a stranglehold over Internet access in the United States. Comcast has a whopping 20% of the market share of ISPs by itself. A We The People petition to stop the CAS has been started and needs 100,000 signatures by March 25th, 2013 to get a response from the White House. Click Here to sign that petition. J.P.

3	Tennessee House Votes to Nullify Federal Hemp Banselfnews Post House bill 2445 (HB2445), introduced by Rep. Jeremy Faison (R-Cosby), would mandate that the state authorize the growing and production of industrial hemp within Tennessee, effectively nullifying the unconstitutional federal ban on the same. The bill reads, in part: Mike Maharrey, communications director for the Tenth Amendment Center, noted that one word strengthened the bill considerably. By including the word shall in this legislation, it has a great deal of impact, he said. This means that rather than keeping it open-ended like other states have done, hemp farming will be able to move forward in Tennessee whether the regulatory bureaucrats there want it to or not. Shall is a legal term which creates a specific requirement far stronger than a word like will. The former is more closely interchangeable with the word must, while the latter allows leeway for the object of the term to delay. In this case, the bill states that the Tennessee department of agriculture will have a mandate to license farmers for growing hemp. Three other states Colorado, Oregon and Vermont have already passed bills to authorize hemp farming, but only in Colorado has the process begun. Farmers in SE Colorado started harvesting the plant in 2013 and the state began issuing licenses on March 1, 2014. In Vermont and Oregon, hemp farming was authorized, but no licensing program was mandated, so implementation has been delayed due to regulatory foot-dragging. Experts suggest that the U.S. market for hemp is around $500 million per year. But, since the enactment of the unconstitutional federal controlled-substances act in 1970, the Drug Enforcement Agency has prevented the production of hemp within the United States. Many hemp supporters feel that the DEA has been used as an attack dog of sorts to prevent competition with major industries where American-grown hemp products would create serious market competition: Cotton, Paper/Lumber, Oil, and others. There are as many as 25,000 uses for industrial hemp, including food, cosmetics, plastics and bio-fuel. The U.S. is currently the worlds #1 importer of hemp fiber for various products, with China and Canada acting as the top two exporters in the world. During World War II, the United States military relied heavily on hemp products, which resulted in the famous campaign and government-produced film, Hemp for Victory! Even though soil, climate and agricultural capabilities could make the United States a massive producer of industrial hemp, today no hemp is grown for public sale, use and consumption outside of Colorado, which just began production. In February of this year, President Barack Obama signed a new farm bill into law, which included a provision allowing a handful of states to begin limited research programs growing hemp. The new hemp amendment The farming laws in Colorado, Oregon and Vermont go beyond research and into full-scale farming and production, effectively nullifying the federal ban once production begins. Tennessee will join them, and would likely become the 2nd state in the country to actively start an industrial hemp program should HB2445 become law. The bill now moves on to the state senate where it will first be assigned to a committee for consideration before the full senate has an opportunity to send the bill to Gov. Haslams desk for a signature. ACTION ITEMS Visit the TenthAmendmentCenter.com where this article first appeared.

One thing is clear: she teams intent on attacking Donald Trumps campaign. This week, she went after Trumps campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway. Kelly reportedly grilled Conway about claims that Trump is misogynistic, after she brought up a couple of comments hes made over 25 years or so with respect to women. Kellyanne, come on, Kelly pushed when Conway complained about the aggressive nature of Clintons ad. Conway still insisted Trump is not sexist. That really set Kelly off. You know thats not true, Kelly laughed. You know he has repeatedly made comments about womenabout their looks, about their size. Shes killing him with women. What do you think of Kellys anti-Trump agenda?

For too long, our currency has only been representative of half the country, but beginning today, women in the United States will finally be able to carry and use money thats the same sex they are, said Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, adding that the new female banknotes would feature softer green hues and a slightly smaller, shapelier form. By introducing female currency into circulation, we are celebrating the strong and vital roles that women have played in shaping our nation. And when todays girls see legal tender that is composed of both male and female bills, it sends a powerful message about our nations commitment to equality. Lew followed his announcement by noting that the Treasury would introduce the first openly gay dimes into the economy as early as next year.

1	The Silicon Valley headquarters of YouTube reportedly erupted in cheers shortly after 10 a.m. local time Thursday as the popular video-sharing service celebrated the 1 trillionth racist comment posted to its website. When we created YouTube back in 2005, we knew it had the potential to revolutionize the way people make highly offensive and insensitive remarks based purely on a strangers racial or ethnic characteristics, but we never dreamed we would make it to 1 trillion of these repugnant comments, said CEO Salar Kamangar, noting that the milestone comment ching chong, posted by user StinkFingaz below a video of a Japanese man painting, would be commemorated on a large bronze plaque in the companys offices. Its hard to even comprehend how many completely ignorant comments 1 trillion is. Were truly humbled by our dedicated and extremely uneducated users who make such vile and imperceptive statements each and every day. Thank you, everyone. Kamangar confirmed that reaching the milestone had reinforced the companys commitment to expanding its servers later this year, which will allow the site to handle up to 1 million fucking faggot comments every second. 
2	Supreme Court Justice Goes Nuclear, Reveals The Real Reason Judge Roberts Saved Obamacare [SEE PHOTOS] The Supreme Court has made several questionable decisions in the last few weeks, including the controversial choice to uphold Obamacare by ruling that the federal government was allowed to provide health care subsidies for residents in 34 states that refused to set up health care exchanges. After the ruling, Justice Antonin Scalia was not quiet about criticizing Chief Justice John Roberts for his role in the decision. Justice Scalia believes that the health care exchanges but must established by the state in order to be granted tax credits. Words no longer have meaning if an exchange that is not established by a stated is established by the state, Scalia claimed. It is hard to come up with a clearer way to limit tax credits to state exchanges than to use the words established by the State. Scalia went on to accuse Roberts and the other justices who voted in his favor of intentionally ignoring errors in the law. Normal rules of interpretation seem always to yield to the overriding principle of the present Court: The Affordable Care Act must be saved, Scalia commented. We should start calling this law SCOTUScare. Scalia concluded that the discouraging truth is that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others, and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites. What do you think of Scalias comments? Do you agree? 
3	How Roundup Weedkiller Can Promote Cancer, New Study RevealsSayer Ji Researchers from the Indian Institute of Toxicology Research have recently confirmed the carcinogenic potential of Roundup herbicide using human skin cells (HaCaT ) exposed to extremely low concentrations of the worlds best selling herbicide. The researchers previously reported on glyphosates tumor promoting potential in a two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis model[i] through its disruption of proteins that regulate calcium (Ca2+- ) signaling and oxidative stress (SOD 1), but were unable in these investigations to identify the exact molecular mechanisms behind how glyphosate contributes to tumor promotion. The new study, published in the peer-reviewed journal ISRN Dermatology,[ii] sought out to clarify the exact mode of tumorigenic action, finding the likely mechanism behind glyphosates cancer promoting properties is through the downregulation of mitochondrial apoptotic (self-destructive) signaling pathways, as well as through the disruption of a wide range of cell signaling and regulatory components. Cell proliferative effects were induced by concentrations lower than .1 mM, and as low as 0.01 mM, which is four orders of magnitude lower than concentrations commonly used in GM agricultural applications (e.g. 50 mM). The fact that lower concentrations were more effective at inducing proliferation than higher concentrations (which suppressed cell growth), indicates that Roundup is a potent endocrine disrupter, and further highlights why conventional toxicological risk assessments are inadequate because they do not account for the fact that as concentrations arereduced certain types of toxicity e.g. endocrine disruption actually increase. It is important to emphasize that while the researchers observed cell proliferation-associated changes in the expression of the Ca2+- binding proteins S100A6/A9 following glyphosate exposure to human skin cells, the implications of these findings reach beyond the skin cell lineage. They explained that related modifications of the expression pattern of S100A6/A9 protein have also been found in hepatocellular carcinoma [15], lung cancer [16], colorectal cancer [17], and melanoma [18]. The study included a diagram (shown below) representing graphically the multiple ways in which glyphosate disrupts cellular structure/function to contribute to uncontrolled cell proliferation. The researchers summarized their findings as follows: It should be noted that their observation that the carcinogenicity of Roundup may be suppressed by the antioxidant n-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), which is a precursor to the cellular detoxifier and antioxidant known as glutathione and a readily available dietary supplement, has important implications, owing to how widespread exposure to Roundup herbicide has become, both through environmental exposures in air, soil, rain and groundwater, as well as in the tens of thousands of unlabeled products containing GM ingredients contaminated with physiologically significant levels of this chemical. This study adds to a growing body of research demonstrating the carcinogenicity of Roundup herbicide. Only five months ago, the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology published a study indicating that glyphosate is estrogenic and drives breast cancer cell proliferation in the parts-per-trillion range. To view the growing body of research on Roundups potential to contribute to cancer initiation or promotion view our toxicology citations here: Roundup Toxicology Research. Reflecting on the Implications We leave the reader with some final reflections on the implications of this research. The wholesale dismissal of attempts to differentiate GMO from conventional products through accurate labeling is based on the idea that they are substantially equivalent. But, this fallacious approach is based on the mistaken view that the only difference between GMO and non-GMO crops of feed and food importance is the presence of either the novel transgenes inserted into them or their novel transgene protein products. The discover of Roundups extreme toxicity destroys that argument, and calls into question the credibility of any would-be scientist or pro-GMO advocate who would propose otherwise. How so? The fact is that the majority of approved GM plants have been genetically engineered to be Roundup Ready, i.e. resistant to glyphosate, which means that the land they are grown upon is basically carpet-bombed with the chemical mixture to kill any living plant other than the glyphosate-resistant GM monocultures. The GM plants take up glyphosate, convert some of it to a similarly toxic metabolite AMPA, and survive the chemical exposure, while maintaining residues of both chemicals post-harvest which ultimately means that the consumer will be exposed to these compounds through their food. This means that if you are not consuming foods that are explicitly GM free, you are being exposed to glyphosate (and glyphosate metabolites) on a daily basis. The difference, therefore between GMO and non-GMO is vastly more significant than simply the presence or absence of novel transgenes or their proteins. It is the difference, candidly, between being exposed (poisoned) with a chemical with likely carcinogenicity or not being exposed to it. For a more elaborate explanation read: Extreme Toxicity of Roundup Destroys GM/non-GM Substantial Equivalence Argument. Lastly, consider if Roundup (glyphosate) weed-killer bore a warning sign may cause cancer, or the tens thousands of products made with GM ingredients contaminated with it. Would there be any justifiable reason to resist GMO labeling? No, to the contrary, the focus would be on banning them immediately, instead of cow-towing to the powers that be to allow us the choice not to be poisoned by default. Despite the so called science and reason based GMO proponents who think it makes sense to have mattresses labeled, but not food you put into your body, the actual empirical, peer-reviewed and published research not ghost-written or funded by biotech corporations themselves says that this omnipresent herbicide has multiple models of carcinogenicity, and in concentration ranges far below agricultural application, as far down as to the parts-per-trillion range. It is time those paying lip service to the evidence-based model of GMO risk assessment, and who recklessly promote the dystopian interests of biotech corporations, address the evidence itself, or stop co-opting powerful sounding terms like Science to justify their highly irrational and ultimately biased and self-serving perspectives on the subject.

3	What Annoys Me About LibertariansBy Julie Borowski 
2	Megyn Kelly Attacks Donald Trump Again, So Donald Trump UNLEASHES Brutal Response [VIDEO] Following an episode of the OReilly Factor, presidential hopeful Donald Trump went on a social media rampage, attacking Fox News. @oreillyfactor was very negative to me in refusing to post the great polls that came out today including NBC, he tweeted. @FoxNews not good for me! He continued on to ask the show hosts: Why dont you have some knowledgeable talking heads on your show for a change instead of the same old Trump haters. Boring! What do you think? Do you support Trump? Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	States Rights for Recreational Cannabis Nullify Federal HypocrisyChris Corley Another important trend is that many court cases across the country are experiencing is Jury Nullification for nonviolent cannabis offenses. Jurys are more and more frequently not willing prosecute against state implemented laws. The feds and our hypocritical president will have to decide whether to waste more taxpayer money on persecuting state approved Cannabis laws, or not. Additionally, the fiber from industrial hemp (also legalized in Colorado), a cousin of cannabis, creates paper, plastics, food, fuel, soap, textiles and jobs! Recreational cannabis legalization is not only pertaining to cannabis here but industrial hemp as well, which adds considerable momentum to what some are calling the Green Rush. The Washington measure may generate as much as $1.9 billion in revenue over five fiscal years according to Washington states Office of Financial Management. Cannabis and hemp may prove to be one of the best ways for states to avoid financial dire straights. As such, States Rights may very well be the unavoidable next big catchphrase. Its already becoming quite popular in the alternative media. To truly discover the hypocrisy regarding the existing drug laws, lets take a look at the legal drugs. On average; alcohol kills 100, pharmaceuticals 290, and tobacco 1200 people every day while cannabis has never killed anyone.To compound the hypocrisy, theres more evidence of cannabis medicinal benefits, studies at Harvard, San Franciscos CA Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, and the Complutense University in Madrid, have shown that the cannabinoids and compounds in cannabis kills cancer cells. Aside from these numerous medicinal benefits from cannabis and the industry possibilities from hemp, there is the money and jobs that will be generated from this miracle plant. Even in a healthy economy this is a no-brainer, but in our current condition its imperative now to innovate and change, real change. Colorado and Washington will win this battle. Our country is broke, and with the current revenue in the billions from the existing medical cannabis industry and the now recreational legalization with the potential of industrial Hemp cultivation, the feds should step aside and let the Green Rush and the will of the people flourish.

1	Eleven years after last walking through his hometown, 29-year-old local man Paul Brundage reportedly spent the entire evening Friday revisiting his childhood neighborhood in Decatur, IL using the Google Maps Street View feature. Looks like that tree I always liked to climb is gone now, said Brundage, sitting alone in his home office and slowly clicking through the panoramic images on his computer screen to retrace what was for six years the daily route he took between his childhood home and his elementary school. I guess they got a new playground. And that market where I used to buy candy after school is a cell phone store now. Huh. I guess it has been a long time. Sources confirmed Brundage later sat motionless for 40 minutes while staring at the house his high school girlfriends family moved out of eight years ago. 
1	In a move Coca-Cola marketing executives called 'a clear sign of our branding success,' highway worker Chuck Burdon, 37, purchased a two-liter Diet Coke during his lunch break Tuesday, buying not so much a soft drink as an image. Burdon with the soft drink whose branding image most strongly resonates with him. 'Let me tell you, I was mighty thirsty after all that paving,' a refreshed Burdon told reporters. 'Yet on a subconscious, psychological level, I wanted more than mere rehydration or refreshment. I craved an image. I craved being imbued with the sort of fun, carefree spirit seen in Diet Coke commercials. I also wished to feel like I was part of a larger community of discriminating, likeminded consumers who have the good taste to choose the world's most-consumed diet cola and not some inferior, lower-priced off-brand.' Standing in the soda aisle of a supermarket near the construction site, Burdon was confronted with a vast array of soft-drink choices, each projecting its own distinct image for consumers to identify with and project onto themselves through the acts of purchase and consumption. According to Burdon, key to his decision to choose Diet Coke was the memory of a 1994 television spot featuring model-actor Lucky Vanous as a construction worker who excites young, single women by shirtlessly consuming a can of the soft drink. 'Back when that ad was on TV, me and the other construction workers made a lot of jokes about it,' Burdon said. 'I think my purchase was partially motivated by a desire to recapture the relative whimsy of those days before Allied Construction owner Bud Wanamaker died of a heart attack and the new owners mismanaged it into the ground. That, as well as the more basic desire to liken myself to the sexy Vanous via our mutual enjoyment of Diet Coke.' Burdon freely admitted that image was more of a motivating factor than the needs of his parched body. 'To be honest, selecting a caffeinated drink ran counter to my physical needs at the time, given the diuretic effects of caffeine,' Burdon said. 'If my only goal were rehydration, I would have done better with Gatorade or Sprite or, at the very least, Caffeine-Free Diet Coke. Or, I suppose, tap water.' Despite the negative side effects of caffeine, particularly for a manual laborer, Burdon said he is averse to consuming caffeine-free soft drinks. 'To appear on the construction site drinking a beverage that is both calorie- and caffeine-free would be an emasculating blow to my carefully cultivated image as a burly, rough-and-tumble working-class type,' Burdon said. 'The sight of me consuming such a soft drink would diminish the respect I enjoy from my professional peer group by casting a light of skepticism upon my masculinity and even my sexuality.' Moments before making his purchasing decision, Burdon said he was almost swayed by the memory of a Diet Coke With Lemon billboard featuring an attractive woman puckering her lips. In the end, however, he rejected the soda for similar gender-identity reasons. 'I must admit that my desire to associate myself with such a woman was a powerful temptation,' Burdon said. 'Nevertheless, the perception of diet soda, an already somewhat feminine product, infused with lemon flavor signified on the packaging by the girlish color yellow, was a bit too rife with feminine overtones for my purposes. I felt that I would be more likely to attract such a woman by reinforcing my masculinity with a lemonless soft drink than by drinking the same female-oriented beverage as her.' Though Burdon spotted a bottle of Pepsi Blue, a drink he greatly enjoyed upon first tasting it in a Safeway parking lot in August, he ruled out the beverage as a possibility for at-work consumption. 'Drinking an adolescent-targeted, convention-flouting, candy-colored fantasia beverage like Pepsi Blue would paint me as an aging and pathetic man desperate to appear youthful and virile,' Burdon said. 'From its flavor blend to the cheekily angular lettering on the label, Pepsi Blue projects an image far too cutting-edge and impudently rebellious to convincingly mesh with the reality of my 37-year-old self. I purchase soft drinks to identify with a somewhat realistic lifestyle archetype, not retreat into an outright delusional fantasy.' 
2	Hillary Clinton Caught Calling Jewish People K***s... Her Career Is Over Bill and Hillary Clinton have put on quite a show to appear as advocates of racial equality, but anecdotes published in a new book by Bills ex-lover tell a very different story. According Dolly Kyle, Hillary was heard calling children retards and caught on record blurting out temrs like k**e and f***ing Jew b*****d. Bill isnt in the clear either. Kyle claims he called Rev. Jesse Jackson a G**damned n*****r. This isnt just rumor-based, either. Bill has reportedly been sued several times by blacks and Hispanics for violations of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Kyle and Bill first met when she just 11 years old. She claims that she dated him through high school and began sleeping with him once they graduated. She published her tell-all claims in her new book, Hillary: The Other Woman. Kyle claims that Bill also used racial slurs toward Robert Say McIntosh, after McIntosh got into it with Clinton for his ongoing relationships with black prostitutes. Bill has never denied these claims, though he did deny a rumor that he had fathered a child with a black prostitute while governor. He even took a DNA test, which came back negative. Bills attitude has much do to with his upbringing, Kyle claims. During their childhood, the Jim Crow laws were still in place and the plantation mentality of the South was still in full force. What do you think? Are you tired of the Clintons pretending to be something theyre not? 
3	Nikola Teslas Lab Saved After 18 Years of Activismselfnews Post A campaign issued by the well-known comic creator of The Oatmeal, Matthew Inman, was established to raise enough money to purchase Nikola Teslas laboratory. Itended with incredible success. As we originally reported, a non-profit soughtto raise $850,000 in order to match a grant of the same amount by the State of New York to secure the $1.6 million property and keep it out of the hands of a potential real estate developer who had put in an offer that might have erased the site and legacy of a genius whose inventions transformed our world. The Guardian reportedthat $500,000 had been raised in just the first few days of Inmans effort. The final amount donated surged to $1,370,511 by the end of the 45-day campaign. The attention that this campaign has generated is nothing short of incredible . . . especially since its a battle that has been going on for 18 years. Following the extraordinary success of the campaign to save the site of Teslas lab, Matthew Inman had this to say about the rapid success experienced right out of the gate: In 9 days, we managed to raise over 1 million dollars to go towards buying back Teslas old laboratory, and with the $850,000 matching grant from NY state this puts us at 1.85 million bucks. At its peak, the campaign was raising $27,000 per hour, crashing Indiegogo, and probably setting some kind of land speed record in awesomeness. Indiegogo put together this infographic showing some interesting data points behind the campaign. So what happens next? (Source) The non-profit behind this project is beginning the phases of putting in a bid on the property. Excellent, yes? YES. The campaign even attracted the attention of a distant relative of Teslas, Dusan Stojanovic who matched donations in the final days. Inman adds: Mr. Stojanovic is an angel investor who would like people to be inspired by Tesla and be part of innovating for the future by continuing Teslas work, particularly towards solving global energy problems . . . The campaign successfully exceeded its goal. Now, after 18 years being sought by a non-profit called Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe to put the property back into the hands of the public, campaign creator Inman is reporting the happy news that it has officially been purchased with the funds raised. Inman stresses the significance: This campaign wasnt about crowd-funding a video game or financing a start-up or creating a fancy new gadget. It was about righting a wrong. It was a way for everyone to collectively say, Mr. Tesla, were sorry humanity forgot about you for a little while. We still love you lots. Heres a Goddamn Museum. Representatives of the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe organization voiced their amazement and appreciation for the outpouring of support: Im grateful. Were still absorbing the reality of it, but were delighted, Alcorn said. Were certainly excited, and our next job is to start planning the next order of business. Here we are almost a hundred years later, and now the property has come back into the sphere of influence of Nikola Tesla, said David Madigan, a board member of the Tesla Science Center nonprofit. Its a satisfying feeling. We have evaluations yet to do, decisions to make about what buildings to adapt, Alcorn said. Theres a long process ahead, and a lot more money to raise. (Source) Whats next? The property is secure, but the work to build the museum has just begun. As stated on the campain site: The remainder of the money from the campaign will be used to clean up and begin renovations on the property, but actually turning it into a museum is going to cost quite a bit more. The non-profit behind this project has a site plan to turn the land into a science center. They dont want this to become a stagnant museum where you visit once and then never go back. Instead, they want it to be a place with rotating exhibits, classes, and working space for entrepreneurs, researchers, and students. Unfortunately, the land is covered by a derelict, asbestos-laden factory space that was built by a photo processing company who previously occupied the property. Building the museum would require either renovating or demolishing all of these structures and preserving the original Stanford White structure that originally housed Teslas laboratory. This is going to take time and a lot more money. Furthermore, there are believed to be tunnels underneath the property that were built by Tesla and may still house some of his equipment, and we want to be able to examine and excavate these underground chambers before building anything on top of it. There are rumors of a huge underground resonance chamber, and although I dont know what an underground resonance chamber is exactly Im fairly certain its both terrifying and awesome. When can I visit the museum? Although the actual science center is going to take a lot more time to finance and build, in the interim were planning on having an event in Shoreham, New York hopefully this summer. Were still figuring out the details, but this would be a two day event and will have musical performances, lectures, interactive exhibits, and guided tours of the property (Im going to be one of the tour guides). The event will focus on science, technology, and innovation. If youre interested in speaking, please contact us. Also, I own a fully functional Tesla coil cannon and I plan to BBQ some Sriracha-bacon sandwiches by shooting them with its 20,000 volt electric arc, so the event will be both scientific and delicious. Again, were shooting for this summer but we havent pinned down a date yet. Ill post the details about the event as soon as I have them.

1	During a domestic-dispute case on Monday, Judge Peter Spiveck ruled that he could totally understand where 32-year-old defendant Samuel Werton was coming from. 'Man, I totally hear what you're saying,' said Spiveck, moments before handing down a sentence. 'If my old lady stayed out drinking until 3 o'clock in the morning, I'd be tempted to run her over with the Dodge myself. But, dude, you can't do that. You've got to learn to keep it under control, see.' Spiveck then warmly patted Werton on the shoulder and sentenced him to 90 days in the Lafayette County Lockup. 
3	First Troops, Now Foreign Firefighters Summoned to Help With Western BlazesBy Heather Callaghan This is probably why not many have blinked an eye that along with 30,000 firefighters there are troops, Homeland Security, FEMA, National Guard and now foreign firefighters either readying themselves for the front lines or are already there. From Chicago Tribune: So many fires are burning in Washington state that officials summoned help from fire managers in Australia and New Zealand. They also got 200 U.S. troops from a base in Tacoma in the first such use of active-duty soldiers in nine years. The Oregon Military Department said soldiers also were ready to help battle a wildfire that has destroyed more than three dozen homes near John Day, about 150 miles east of Portland. Newsweek reported on August 21: President Barack Obama signed a federal declaration of emergency for Washington state on Friday, authorizing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate relief efforts in 11 counties and several Indian reservations hard hit by wildfires. Authorities late on Thursday ordered the population of Tonasket, a riverfront hamlet of about 1,000 residents just 25 miles south of the Canadian border, to flee their homes as flames closed in. A couple of shocking graphics that depict the disaster emergency: Jaw-dropping #California wildfire consumes 60,000 acres (PHOTOS, VIDEO) http://t.co/cSZSweqnki http://t.co/1erDbjkB4A RT America (@RT_America) August 4, 2015 How many #wildfires acres have burned across the US CA this year? Check out the latest numbers #cawx pic.twitter.com/zZbIZySveA NWS Sacramento (@NWSSacramento) August 17, 2015 A couple of readers have been concerned about the use of troops for the fire and the concept of capitalizing Agenda 21 tactics, seeing as the Western U.S. is becoming less and less conducive to living. About the troops, Homeland Security, FEMA and foreign firefighters, this writer cannot say what it means because, ostensibly, the government is responding to the emergency. People who are evacuating can probably see or tell somehow that the fires are truly nearby. As for Agenda 21, again its difficult to balk when theres a legitimate emergency making the land unlivable. However, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, who believes climate change is to blame for the fires made another interesting comment, reported by RT: Another issue complicating the Forest Services capabilities is that people have continued to build on property that is much closer to forests than in the past. Since houses are in much closer proximity to wildfires, more homes are threatened and more property can potentially be destroyed when a fire occurs. We now have more communities that have been located in and around one of our forests, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement. Hazardous fuel build-up has increased in part because of climate change. We see drier conditions. As a result, Vilsack is urging Congress to reform the way the government fights fires. I couldnt say whether houses are truly being built more next to forests, but it sounds like a slight form of blame for using firefighting resources and a hint toward more measures to close land off from citizenry. Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist. You can see her work atNaturalBlaze.com and selfnewsPost.com. Like at Facebook. Recent posts byHeather Callaghan This is what happens when 2/3s of your entire military are deployed outside the US. Instead of protecting America and Americans they are off waging war for the benefit of foreign governments and Ive been under a horizon-to-horizon pall of smoke here in SW Oregon for so long Im forgetting what a clear sky looks like. But Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has it completely wrong when he says hazardous fuel build up is because of climate change. Fuel build up is because of fire suppression combined with a near-complete lack of essential controlled burning. All plant life in pre-human natural landscapes evolved to live with regular natural fire. When humans arrived in western North America roughly 13,000 years ago, they applied intelligent observation of their surroundings to make fire even more regularl, creating the beautiful forests and savannas that the early European explorers often called park-like in their journals. About a hundred years ago there were some major fires in the Idaho-Montana region that burned up whole towns and killed hundreds of people. It went unnoticed by authorities that it was the removal of the Native Americans a few decades earlier (who had kept down the fuel load for thousands of years with prescribed burns) that created the conditions for these catastrophic fires. So instead of learning the proper lesson, they doubled down on their mistake and instituted an aggressive program of fire suppression and completely ignored the prescribed burning side of the equation. A hundred years later we are reaping the whirlwind of that error. Fuel builds up rapidly on the forest floor. After Ive done a controlled burn on my land there will be enough fuel to burn again, gently, in two years. Ten years would be too long, and twenty years is a disaster waiting to happen. Most of the land around here hasnt seen a fire in at least fifty years or longer. Both the government and private property owners MUST take the fire bull by the horns and start regular prescribed burning. It is the ONLY method that can economically clean up enough fuel to bring some measure of safety. The US government has spent millions of dollars cutting brush and thinning small trees around here, piling up the debris, and burning it but without timely follow-up prescribed burns it is wasted money. With fire, theres a time to light it and a time to fight it. Firefighting should be turned into fuels management specialist and should be a year-round profession. They should fight fires during the dangerous dry season, but every day of good conditions for prescribed burning should be seen as a gift from nature to use to best advantage. Paradoxically, a drought winter can be a blessing for fuel load control. We are supposed to be smarter than staying locked in this cycle fire suppression-fire disaster. Lets finally learn the lesson Native Americans showed us. When I was a growing up I lived in a mountainous heavily wooded area and we had controlled burns, never was there a house burned or caught on fire for that matter, and not even any injuries as I remember, much less loss of lives. Seems to me the lack of controlled burns was discussed about thirty years ago, I cant recall what was decided if anything, they might be still Talking. As usual in the government for one be in charge isnt what ones knows its who one knows. Environmentalist have fought to shut down harvesting and other forest management practices. They think wall to wall impassible trees and brush, all struggling for water and light, is better than a managed forest. I live in Oregon, the trees are healthier and there is more forage for wildlife in a managed forest vs a wilderness area which is mainly impassible to both humans and wildlife. It is ridiculous. No common sense at all. One thing Ive learned from history is that most people dont learn from history, so many bad things happening in America today is proof, unless were a nation of Masochists. GET ALL THESES ILLEGALS TO FIGHT FIRES. WHAT THERE NOT TELLING US, IS THAT THESES ARE JIHAD SET FIRES.TERROIST ARE SETTING FIRES. THEY SAID THEY WOULD BURN OUR COUNTRY. BAD THINGS STARTED HAPPENING WITH OBAMA! I have thought they might be doing this, of course with our government today that These fanatics mean business. That is why you saw BLM personnel show up at BundyGate with AR-15s and other weapons systems not usually found on Park Rangers Right! Vilsack is just spin doctoring the lack of preventive burning by blaming climate change. Please! Every summer in Washington for the last 50 years has seen high fire danger. Year round management of fuel supplies in forests would lessen big fires dramatically! Those who trust the government to provide for their safety and manage our public lands are asking to be disappointed. They cant even sell booze and manage a house of ill repute to make money. Maybe all of the chemtrails caused it! Maybe God is angry because we are now called firefighters instead of our traditional role as FireMEN. If womens role is the same as mens why didnt they ALL get into the lifeboats when the Titanic sank? Why do they not use tanker planes or other large aircraft that can hold thousands of gallons of water? Would seem safer and much more effective stopping these fires before they get out of control, but that seems to be the plan every year, letting them do as much damage as possible. Here in Washington in small town near Mt Rainer. See helicopters with buckets attached only. Having hard time getting to fire because its all hillside without roads or humans. We are very dry and was glad to hear that starting tomorrow we will get rain for at least 5 days. That is if the news knows what they are talking about. We really need the rain just like Oregon and California. Watching wind direction all the time. They do use them. Get out much? Thank you! What is wrong those idiots?? There are 97 million people in America that are on Welfare. We are already paying them to do nothing. Give those people the job of fighting the wildfires. Recruit them. Give them the job. Why bring people in from foreign countries when their are 97 million people here that are available to do the JOB????? Really, ever fight a wildland fire? I dont think so! Wy,wy, wy thats racist, we would hurt their feelings, hows that for a start at impersonating a Liberal. Im in agreement with Paul Dragotto on here who mentioned that they could be set by our lovely and kind hearted friends from Islamic countries, I added my own view of them, I doubt Paul minds. Who would doubt that is anyone that has a brain, that among the many millions of Muslims that came here surely there are the Violent Jihadists and setting fires would be expected from all but fools. Violent Jihad is only one kind of Jihad, Stealth Jihad is the most dangerous form of Jihad in the long term for the host country and there are more many more of them, most Americans dont believe that all Muslims must Struggle [Jihad] according to their god, if they dont then they are no better than we Infidels. The struggle will end only when Islam is the worlds religion and the only religion, but the God of the Bible says He will crush it, from the looks of things that might not be far off. If Jihadists are setting fires be assured we wont hear about it from the government or Pravda Media. I Agree With You Somewhat Lee. But Stop And Think. If They Fight The Fires With The Same Ambition As They Have In Life. We Are Still In Trouble. I Am Here In Tonasket. And Yes It Is Bad. But I Think I Would Rather Fight The Fire With My Garden Hoses Then Rely On Welfare Recipients. Our government is starting the fires. All of the fires in Eastern WA have been started by Lightening Strikes. Know what you are talking about BEFORE you open your TRAP. IF that is true( started by lightening Strikes) then why is it that NO TV station has mentioned the source of the fire..ABC, NBC, Etc. never once mentioned that some of the fires started were due to lightening strikesall they say is how many acres have been burned and how fast the fire is spreading, and as I wait to see if the news reporter will say the cause of fire, guess what?! NONE is mentioned! Why do you think these news reporters are NOT mentioning the source of the fire if its due to lightening strkesas You claim!? Because you are not looking at the correct source material. Look it up on the web and see it under US Fire Service. It tells you all sources. Plus, if you bothered to know you could have looked it up over a month ago. All Seattle Stations have reported it on the air, along with BC Stations and Spokane Stations. Every Fire in Eastern WA was started by Dry Lightening. According to Prison Legal News, some states are actually using prisoners to help fight these fires. This legitimate emergency obama created caused the lives of 13 fire fighters, so he could bring in more foreigners. The surface hasnt begun to be scratched. I pray for rain. get the 11 million illegals to fight the fires, how many people live out there 100 million , and instead of standing there fighting the fires , they leave, people are totaly helpless today Ever been in a wildland fire? nope , but i figure its like the indians circling a wagon train, you cut a line and turn over anything that can burn then place people all around it to put out the sparks if they get that far, and then the plains and choppers can dump the water on the main body of fire, but then you could always get the millions of people in prison to go out and clean up the forests and make fire brakes , instead of letting them sit in prison getting fat and lazy Have you ever seen a Indians circle a 8000 acre wagon train, maybe 10 or 30,000 acres? You ever try turning over an 80 -100 foot pine tree? How many people do you think youll need all around to put out the sparks on a 30,000 acre fire thats spotting 1 2 miles ahead of itself and has a 60+ mile an hour ground wind? And how are you going to feed, house and supply all the needs for all these people for the duration of the fire? Thats just for starters, now time that by the number of ongoing fires across the country right now and you might start getting an idea of what it takes and thats just an idea of what are firefighters and our command system does daily all summer long! This hopefully gives you a little idea too about staying to fight the fire versus leaving and what you call totally helpless when their water and power quit and the fire is coming their way like a freight train with no brakes! By the way, in my state the inmates can volunteer to help fight the fires and do a great service and very hard job to save lives and protect property during the fire season! It really gets me to hear someone like you spouting off about people faced with a wildfire and than knowing that youve never faced one, you have no idea what its about or youd never make that statement! Riding. I wonder if it would help if he saw a crown fire racing across the countryside. Amazing how many people dont live in the real world! Ill bet hed be cleaning his shorts after that! Ive been close to being stuck in a couple of those during my time fighting fires it gets really spooky sometimes! Its always easy to think that someone else is just willing to do a job or something and throw stones. I had home owners run as the fire hit their property and we stayed behindtheyd come back hours later and are amazed that youre still alive and the only thing still standing is their house. The funny thing is I love it and would do it all over again if I could get my body back to a younger age! Its hard to chase fires when youre over 60.Darn it! i burn stuff all the time and have a good idea on how to contain fires, but its a communitte effort and every one has to work together, everyone chips in, but that is impossible today, how did they fight the fires before we had fire dept.s , every one brought a bucket and saved what they could, most of those people out there have chain saws and shovels, and all you need is someone to organize them , and i am just saying if people would help each other out , it would be better then just turning there backs and running Nobody I know just turns their back and runs, everybody helps each other and stand together to protect our community. Again you dont know what youre talking about! We have groups of people ready with their own trailers and equipment that will go way out of their way to help people move their live stock and goods out of a fire area. These fires can run a mile wide and consume a thousand acres an hour, youre not going to stop it with chain saws and shovels! Id love to drop you into a fire zone in 100 deg. heat and 3% humidity with a chain saw and shovel and see how fast you turn your back and run! And you would or youd burn up! It takes years of training and experience to be put in front of the head of a wildfire and not get burnt! Nice article.now get a picture of wildland fire fighters instead of the one you used in high temperature suits and take out the military fear factor and youd have a story! We, the fire fighting community has been sending help where its needed for a long time and if you look back in time the military has been call out before also. As for what has caused the drought..try HAARP! The enviro nuts have forced the US Forrest service to stop making fire break roads in the National Forrest. They have also banned the removal of dead wood on the ground that people could take for wood heating their houses. This would reduce fuel on the ground. the National Forrest was established to have wood resources for the nation and to have forested lands to provide clean water to areas. These people want to treat them as their little private nature preserve and wilderness areas. No No roads because we cannot allow motorized vehicles. Amen! Just think if the Japanese had sent their balloons across the Pacific in WWII during the dry season what a difference there would have been.and if their research on anthrax had been more advanced?? Just think if we had a real freedom loving American government that didnt hold wars for profit! None of it would have ever happened! Apparently you are very young, or very stupid.look up Dec. 7th 1941 in any History Book. When the wheel tilted was your brain injured or secure in your colon? Well, well here we go with the little boy with no insight to the world around him and if the history book and the goberment says it true then it is and you cant see pass your own nose! Fool! You should change your name to Jughead it would be much more suited to your way of thinking! LMFAO! What about the gash n dash practice of pouring herbicide into non-indigenous trees, then prohibiting removal of (fuel) decomposing trees? Didnt know about that but it sounds like typical government bureaucrats in action. Where is the rest of the world? When will we ever get help when we need it? We are feeding these illegals send them west to fight fires , they might go back to the border and leave ! bob. The largest water bomber the Martin Mars has a water capacity of 7200 gallons. 
1	Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush extended a hand of friendship to the nation's Hispanic community Monday, leaving a larger-than-customary tip for waiter Ramon Gonzalez after eating at La Galleria, a trendy Chula Vista bistro. Bush speaks during a campaign stop in Chula Vista, CA, where he courted Hispanics with a $20 tip. Bushwho was lunching with aide de camp Warren Hewitt and campaign contributor Kenneth Boehm, CEO of telecommunications giant Pacific Bellleft a $20 gratuity on a bill of $83.42. Working out to approximately 24 percent, it is the largest tip the Hispanic community has ever received from a Republican presidential candidate. Gonzalez, accepting Bush's generous overture on behalf of his people, thanked the candidate politely as he left the restaurant and invited him to visit again. Gonzalez said he intends to share the gift with other members of the Hispanic community, employing the standard food-service-industry split among waiter, busboy, and dishwasher. 'This generous tip is my way of saying thank you to the Latino community for its distinguished service during the course of this lunch,' Bush said. 'It is my way of acknowledging the many valuable things America's Hispanics bring to the tablefrom appetizers to drinks to main courseswhich are vital to the smooth progress of our nation's meals.' Republican insiders are praising the gesture, noting that Bush has sent 'a message of appreciation to a too-often-overlooked ethnic group.' The overture to the Latino community. 'By leaving a twenty on the table for this Mexican boy, Bush is telling Hispanics, 'I understand how hard your people have worked over the years to keep our water glasses full,'' GOP strategist Allen White said. 'At the same time, by making this offering in tip form, he reinforces his campaign slogan of 'Prosperity With Purpose.' In other words, he sends the strong message that continued good service on the part of Hispanics will be recognized and rewarded.' Despite such praise, Bush's rivals for the Republican presidential nomination were quick to denounce the unusually large gratuity. 'I have always favored an across-the-board flat tip of 15 percent, regardless of the waiter's race,' Steve Forbes said. 'Gov. Bush's tip of 24 percent is not only fiscally irresponsible; it smacks of political grandstanding.' Fellow Republican candidate John McCain was equally troubled by the precedent set by the Bush tip. 'If we give the Hispanics 24 percent,' McCain said, 'then the Asians will want 24 percent, too. Then the blacks. Then it snowballs out of control to the point where regular Americans suddenly can't afford to eat anywhere with table service, let alone get their cars detailed or their hedges trimmed. Gov. Bush has opened up a real Pandora's Box here.' Speaking to reporters at a campaign stop at a tractor factory in Nashua, NH, Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore also had words for Bush. Waiter Ramon Gonzalez 'Mr. Bush is trying to tip too little, too late,' Gore said. 'For years, he cheated the Hispanic community, calculating his tip by doubling the tax, even when dining in states where the restaurant tax is a mere six percent. Look at the record: He consistently undertipped Hispanics during his tenure as governor of Texas. And now he is trying to make up for all of that with a single $20 bill. My fellow Americans, I do not believe that, in his heart of hearts, Mr. Bush knows how much to tip.' Gore later added that tipping should be 'colorblind,' reflecting only the quality of service received, and noted that many Hispanics are not waiters. Bush, while declining to respond specifically to his opponents' remarks, said he stands by his commitment to Hispanics. 'As the fastest-growing ethnic group in America, Hispanics will continue to make their presence felt in all walks of restaurant life,' Bush said. 'Whether you see them grinning while bringing the enchiladas at a Mexican restaurant or quietly and politely clearing the table at an expensive Italian eatery, I would urge all Americans to follow my lead and reach out to them with a couple of extra bucks.'

Wipes Proof From Internet, Except THIS Trump has made many mistakes in his campaign for president, but this one will go down in the books as one of the worst (mistake, that is. Many will argue that his deliberate actions were worse, but that is another conversation). This time, Trump posted a video to Twitter to celebrate our troops. Except, wait. It wasnt OUR troops. Trump posted a video of RUSSIAN troops to his Twitter account. Here is the footage he used: A picture accompanied the video, which apparently shows was also a mistake according to John Schindler. .@realDonaldTrump has deleted the tweet (finally) but heres the pic, Waffen-SS very clear at bottom. Trump was quick to delete the post, but once something goes on the internet, there will always be proof. Do you still support Donald Trump? 
3	Leaked! Food Lobby Threatens to Sue Any State that Tries to Label GMOsAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton The Organic Consumers Association is reporting that the Grocery Manufacturers Association the mega lobby group that represents 300+ companies and much more than just grocery stores is using a leaked talking points memo to basically misinform and intimidate our legislators with threats of lawsuits should they even attempt to back a GMO labeling law in their state. This is the same organization that is petitioning to allow GMOs to be considered natural on food packaging, and the same group that is trying to get a weak voluntary federal law passed to preempt the adoption of any meaningful labeling legislation at the state level. And even the association admits that 80% of the food consumed in the United States is genetically modified. (Not sure how they know that, considering it isnt labeled). Aaron and Melissa created TruthstreamMedia.com, where this first appeared, as an outlet to examine the news, place it in a broader context, uncover the deceptions, pierce through the fabric of illusions, grasp the underlying factors, know the real enemy, unshackle from the system, and begin to imagine the path towards taking back our lives, one step at a time, so that one day we might truly be free

2	University Gets Backhanded With Patriotic Justice After Trying To Ban American Flags According to recent reports, University of California, Irvines legislative council just passed a resolution banning the American flag from their lobby area. In an effort to be politically correct, the students are claiming that the flag triggers negative feelings among non-American students. The American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism, Matthew Guevara, a member of the Associated Students of the University of California wrote in his resolution. Flags not only serve as symbols of patriotism or weapons for nationalism, but also construct cultural mythologies and narratives that in turn charge nationalist sentiments. Fortunately, California GOP lawmakers are responding quickly to the event, and are working on an amendment to the California Constitution to cut public school funding to any school that bans the American flag. It makes sense: why should someone who opposes supporting the United States receive support from the government? What do you think of the incident? Are you sick of liberals demonizing patriotism and a love for our country? 
2	Video Surfaces Exposing Michelle Obamas Hatred For White Americans During a shocking interview recently, Michelle Obama is shown going off on an extraordinarily racist rant, unintentionally exposing her disdain for white people. Allegedly, the interview was conducted before Barack was elected president. In the video, Michelle claims that all black people have an inferiority complex. She then tells the black population that if they want to be good African Americans they should vote for her husband. She continues on to talk about the discrimination she has faced as a black person. What do you think? Are you surprised by Michelles comments? 
1	In what is being hailed as its single most ambitious messaging campaign to date, the Susan G. Komen foundation announced Thursday it had launched its first deep space probe, part of an effort to bring increased breast cancer awareness to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Shortly after the morning liftoff, Komen officials told reporters they expect the vessel, which they have christened the Outreach, to promote regular screenings and education initiatives across the entire 120,000-light-year span of the Milky Way. The organization confirmed it had raised $1.3 billion to build the probe, approximately one quarter of which went toward painting the spacecraft pink, adding specialized pink fixtures to its interior, and outfitting its hull with glowing pink lights. I couldnt be more excited to be standing here on this historic day, when we take the fight against breast cancer to the outer limits of our solar system and beyond, said the groups founder and chair of global strategy Nancy Brinker, speaking at a post-launch gala held on the 1,400-acre campus of the new state-of-the-art Susan G. Komen Space Center. Thanks to so many generous donations and 5K charity run-walks, our new Outreach probe will ensure no being in the galaxy remains unaware of this deadly disease. The vast, unexplored regions of deep space may contain life that simply doesnt know how vital it is to get a mammogram at least once every Earth year, Brinker continued. But together, we can change that. According to officials, the Outreach is equipped with an array of highly advanced instruments for relaying the message that early detection is key to survival, as well as details on how to host your own Passionately Pink fundraiser for the organization. Additionally, the probes sweep frequency transmission system emits modulated radio pulses that reportedly spell out We Are Fearless, Make Your Impact, and others of Susan G. Komens various trademarked slogans in all known languages, in addition to communicating details of the organizations latest efforts to increase visibility through corporate brand partnerships. The probe, which is propelled by its twin Pink Power ion thrusters, is said to travel at a relative velocity of 24 kilometers per second and is projected to reach the edge of the heliosphere by approximately 2039, at which point it will become the first human-made object to broadcast inspirational survivor stories and common early breast cancer warning signs into interstellar space. Even after the Outreach drifts past the Kuiper Belt and beyond the gravitational bounds of our sun, well still be able to transmit updated photos of celebrity chefs participating in our Cook For The Cure program to its high-frequency antennae, mission flight director Kenneth Harrison said. Whenever the probe comes within range of any star, its solar-powered transmitters will automatically send out the message that more than 1,000 breast cancer screenings are made possible each day by a Susan G. Komen community grant, and that attending a three-day walkathon where everyone camps out in matching pink tents can help end breast cancer forever. This is the message that will eventually reach an estimated 200 billion stars and their planets, Harrison added. Its incredibly exciting. Harrison went on to state that in order to communicate with any potential intelligent life forms that may have breast tissue, the Outreach features a pink stainless steel plaque with binary-based engravings indicating that one in eight human women born today will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and offering step-by-step instructions on how to perform a breast self-examination. Sources confirmed that the probes cargo hold is filled with shirts, hats, stickers, coffee mugs, key chains, and various other Susan G. Komenbranded merchandise, which are packaged in hundreds of gift capsules that will be periodically jettisoned into space during the journey. Its humbling to know that even after we lose radio contact with the probe, it will continue spreading awareness for eons, long after were gone, said Brinker, who explained that the Outreach probe builds on the successes of the organizations Sea Pink project, a deep-sea submersible that has been trawling trenches of the ocean floor emitting sonar messages about the disease since 2010. With ambitious projects like these, we can finally make certain everyone in the universe is aware of breast cancer. And because 44 cents of every dollar we spend goes toward such endeavors, your continued support is as important as ever, Brinker added. 
2	Look At The ONE Thing People Noticed About When Chelsea Clinton Walked Out With Her NewBorn Baby According to reports from The Daily Caller, the Clintons were channeling the royal family when they presented their daughter Chelsea, son-in-law Marc Mezvinksy, and new granddaughter Aidan to the world. Bill and Hillary were standing next to the young couple and their newborn, in a moment that is now being compared to the moment Kate Middleton, Prince William and newborn son William was presented to the world in 2015. That comparison may seem coincidental to some, but others are confident is a carefully thought out strategy. Not only in Clinton dressed like Middleton in a flowery sundress, Mezwvinsky is also channeling Prince William in a button-down, stiff collared shirt and v-neck sweater. Aidan was also wrapped in the same white blankets as William. The only noticeable difference is her head was showing. Clearly, this was a move by Clintons PR team to make her seem more stately. We arent buying it. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCIn a humanitarian relief effort expected to greatly ease the pain of America's blighted inner cities, the federal government will begin importing and distributing the wonder-drug heroin to the growing urban underclass, President Clinton announced Monday. President Clinton displays one of the needles that will soon pump sweet relief into America's blighted inner cities. Citing 'the horrible pain of life in America's urban centers,' Clinton urged all Americans living below the poverty line to begin using the substance immediately and 'forget the daily agonies of your unceasingly horrific lives in a mind-numbing rush of glorious, opiate-induced oblivion.' 'A lighter, a spoon, some cotton balls and a syringe are all America needs to end the misery of poverty forever,' Clinton continued. 'Poor people of the nation everywhere dream of a way out of the ghetto, and I am here to tell them: Do not give up on that dream. America, heroin is that way out.' Government officials were unanimous in their support for the president's plan. 'This stuff is unbelievablewe're talking 100 percent pure unrefined China White,' U.S. Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) said. 'Our nation's poor are clearly going to be on cloud nine once this 'mainline' hits the vein.' According to CIA Director John Deutch, no price is too great to pay for injections of the precious substance. 'These struggling people won't be thinking about anythingnot poverty, not starvation, not savage, random gang beatingsnothing at all but that next sweet, sweet taste,' Deutch said. 'What an incredible rush it will be for them.' According to federal studies, the levels of crime, poverty, despair and misery within the nation's inner cities have grown so rapidly in recent years as to make survival 'an impossibly hopeless task, endurable only through the aid of massive, regular smack injections.' 'Once these disenfranchised masses begin to shoot up, they will feel like they can do anything,' said Bruce McCartland, a top Clinton aide. 'And I mean anything: get a high-paying job, buy a new car, escape the vicious cycle of poverty. You name itwhen you're on the nod, anything seems possible.' A Bronx, NY, resident unwinds after a long, hard day with a relaxing hit of government-supplied heroin. The program has the added advantage, said U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala, of requiring no taxpayer funding, as the substance can be purchased at bulk and sold for a small profit on city streets. 'It's an extremely cost-effective program,' Shalala said. 'Once it gets off the ground it will require very little additional funding, as our studies show that the heroin users themselves will be willing to pay for further doses of the substance. Heroin users are wonderfully resourceful and entrepreneurial when it comes to finding the money to purchase drugs. Some even start their own small businesses, such as selling their bodies, or even the drug itself, in order to pay for their next 'fix.'' As an added bonus, the new program will help foster a strong sense of community within inner cities, as heroin users will likely often be forced to share needles. 'There's nothing more beautiful,' McCartland said, 'than seeing a group of young addicts coming together to pass the needle around.' The latest in a recent string of psychoactive drugs to hit the market, heroin functions much like other commercially available anti-depressants, such as Prozac and Zolaft, which have created an unprecedented boom in drug-therapy pharmaceuticals in recent years. However, experts say heroin is even more powerful, causing an incredibly pleasurable sensory overload of the central nervous system and creating a near-total shutdown of the areas of the brain that register pain. 'Zolaft and Prozac have greatly improved the emotional lives of millions of America's mildly dissatisfied, upper-middle class suburbanites,' said Dr. Louis Reed, author of the bestselling Listening To Heroin. 'But let's face it: Prescribing Prozac to the wretched, world-weary human flotsam of the inner cities would be like putting a band-aid on a massive head wound. Nothing less than total chemically induced escape from reality will do. Heroin is the way.' 
1	According to his personal caddy Steve Williams, after Tiger Woods was informed that his wife had gone into labor with their first child on Monday, the 12-time major champion acknowledged the news, calmly put down his cellular phone, and continued hitting the 60 or so golf balls he had remaining from a large bucket he purchased 20 minutes earlier. 'Tiger felt that it was extremely important to work on shaping all kinds of shots for the upcoming British Open,' Williams said, adding that, upon hearing that his wife's contractions were only seven minutes apart, Woods concentrated on methodically hitting pitches, high fades, and low draws. 'I thought maybe he would cut his practice session a little short for once, but when he was done with the bucket of balls he told me to get his putter so he could work on eight-footers.' After receiving another phone call saying that his wife had given birth to a baby girl, Woods reportedly said nothing for some time, eventually instructing Williams to get him another bucket of balls. 
3	Mysterious bird-like drone may have popped up in both Iraq and Pakistan, origin still unknownMadison Ruppert, Contributor A reader of The Aviationist tipped them off to a video posted on May 28, 2009 showing the drone captured by the Iraqi Hezbollah in Iraq which is eerily similar to the drone which was captured in Pakistan. The provenance of the drone is shrouded in a thick veil of mystery since no nation would take responsibility for the device which has, according to Danger Room, silver wings and a span about the size of a grown mans outstretched arms, the drone was clearly more than a hobbyists toy: the remains of a camera were near the crash site, a camera that fit into the robotic birds belly, ostensibly for spying on insurgents. The dimensions of the two drones are similar and the designs obviously look alike as well; although, Its clearly not the same drone, as the wings are obviously different: the mystery drones wings are straighter and more sharply angled than the SmartBirds sleeker, more rounded wings, which mimic those of the gull, according to Danger Room. The nation or entity behind the drone is difficult to determine outside from speculation based on the nations currently involved in operations in Pakistan. However, Danger Room seems to think it belong so the United States in writing: Iraqi Hezbollah date its photos of the mystery drone to May 2009 in Basra, a major city in southern Iraq. Back then, U.S. troops were training their Iraqi counterparts on new-line intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems. Hmm. While the video and screenshots dont reveal any new technical information on the drone, it does show that the drone in Iraq and that in Pakistan are closely related. Both have a design which relies on flapping wings, a trapezoidal tail feather and a spherical camera placed in the belly of the bird. However, the drone recovered in Pakistan has a tailfin on the underside of the rear feather which the drone in Iraq is missing; and the version found in Iraq is a duller color than the reflective silver drone in Pakistan. The fact that it was probably already flying in Iraq two years before crashing in Pakistan, proves that the bird-like UAV is not a toy but a small combat proven spy drone, writes The Aviationists David Cenciotti. This deals a significant blow to those who have repeatedly claimed that it was actually just a DIY drone, evidenced by Danger Room tagging the latest post with DIY Drones. However, since we really have no idea who made the drone or who was operating it, one cannot say with certainty that it is not a DIY creation of some group somewhere, although I find this quite unlikely. That being said, it wouldnt be all that damaging for the United States to confirm that it is our drone given that we are already running deadly drone operations around the globe. Ultimately, its impossible to speculate on the issue with any degree of certainty since we know very little about the drone and its origin, but it will be fascinating to see if more information comes out or if more appearances of the strange device begin to surface.

3	Military Contractors Congratulate Themselves for Driving War Propaganda in 2016 ElectionBy Claire Bernish Headed by former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, the obliquely-monikered defense industry agenda, er, interest group claims the American presidents understanding of the challenges and benefits of American leadership around the globe has been vital, in the video prominently displayed on its websites home page. The threat-matrix facing America today has never been broader, Rogers narration of the video continues,from ISIS and radical Islam, a nuclear Iran, to cyber-hacking attempts to disrupt our very way of life: our presidential leadership and emphasis on American security has never been more critical. Oh, how the smug irony of military contractors whose interests lie in the same continuing military action that builds international resentment and fuels extremist actions against U.S. and allied troops and civilians hurts. As reported by Lee Fang in the Intercept, APPS self-laudatory tone continued in an email to supporters, praising the group for pushing candidates on national security, as pointed out by highlights from many of our Iowa, South Carolina, and New Hampshire forums showcasing the candidates views on defeating ISIS. With Rogers assertion in the promotional video that APPS mission is to ensure the next president is prepared to address todays threats on Day One by moving the candidates beyond just rhetoric and talking points in order tohelp elect a president who supports American engagement and a strong foreign policy, those highlights read as if pulled directly from a pro-war propagandists pep talk. We also need to decide, in terms of these radical jihadists, what do we want to do? Ben Carson asked an APPS forum in Dubuque, Iowa. Do we want to contain them or do we want to destroy them? I vote for the latter, because you know they want to destroy us and there is no such thing as containing people like that. I am sick and tired of hearing people on my side avoid the idea of an American ground component, Lindsey Graham asserted at a Charleston APPS forum. Mike Huckabee bemoaned lost opportunities at an APPS forum in Greenville, saying, We should have been running hundreds, if not thousands, of A-10 Warthogs busting every time a truck with supplies was on its way to ISIS soldiers. During separate APPS events, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio implied the need for drawn-out action against ISIS. The former advised preparedness for the long haul, while the latter compared future engagement against the Islamic State to past fighting against the Taliban in Afghanistan because that was such a stunning success. Yes, thats sarcasm. As if APPS support from former politicians, military officials, and current and former defense industry specialists werent telling enough, the sites referencing of Thomas Jeffersons involvement in the Barbary War, Madison and the buildup to the War of 1812, Truman and the unthinkable challenges of the second World War, theSoviet bear on the march as Reagan came to office, George W. Bushs difficulties in the aftermath of 9/11, and Obama beginning his first term with terrorists still plotting, are truly indicative of the groups attempt to appeal to an emotional, nationalist mindset. History has shown that American presidencies are often defined by foreign crises, APPS Historical Perspectivestates and it appears the group fully intends to ensure the next presidency will be no exception.

1	Explaining that these are the roughly 10 to 14 days each year during which he is not resting in a controlled state of suspended animation, sources confirmed Tuesday that Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig has been awoken from his sub-zero temperature cryosleep in time for the 2014 World Series. Were happy to announce that the commissioner has successfully emerged from cryonic hibernation and is incredibly excited for this years matchup between the Royals and Giants, said league spokesman Kyle Akerman, adding that Selig has spent his first few hours of consciousness listening to aides summarize the past season while he remained locked inside an airtight chamber set to 263.15 Kelvin. Doctors have assured us that his blood has resumed circulation, and, despite a brief period of post-revival psychosis, his vital signs are now normal. Were also confident that the carefully designed luxury suite at Kauffman Stadium will provide him with a controlled thaw throughout the first few innings of tonights game. Most importantly, though, Mr. Selig is just looking forward to watching these two great teams face off in a highly competitive and memorable best-of-seven series. Akerman added that, as this is Seligs last season as commissioner, the 80-year-old is not planning to attend another Fall Classic until he is slated to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the 2230 World Series.

2	While No One Was Paying Attention Obama Signed A Bill Banning THESE 5 Words If this isnt censorship, we dont know what is. According to recent reports, the Obama administration has just signed a law that would remove offensive descriptors of minorities from federal laws. One of the phrases, for example, is referring to individuals as Spanish speaking. The bill, H.R. 4238, amends the Department of Energy Organization Act and the Local Public Works Capital Development and Investment Act of 1976, which allegedly defines minorities using offensive terms. The terms that will be eliminated include Negro, Puerto Rican, American Indian, Eskimo, Oriental or Aleut or is a Spanish speaking individual of Spanish descent. Instead, the government will replace this terms with the more politically correct terminology, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, a Pacific Islander, African American, Hispanic, Puerto Rican, Native American or an Alaska Native. This is going completely overboard and it needs to stop. Share this article if you agree! 
2	BREAKING: Results Are In... And Its Not What The Media Has Been Reporting Donald Trump has received immense criticism for his claims that the mainstream media has been biased in favor of Hillary Clinton. Now, a series of polls prove that he is onto something. For weeks, the media has been trying to make it look like the race is over for Trump, claiming that he has virtually no chance of beating Clinton in the election. This is a dangerous claim because it could discourage Republican voters from taking the time to vote. According to a recent poll from LA Times-USC Dornsife, Trump is leading Hillary by almost one point. In the survey, voters were asked what the chance is that they will vote for Trump, Clinton or another candidate on a scale from 1 to 100. The overall support reflected the weighted average for responses. Hillary Clinton came in at 44.5%, while Trump ranked 45.2%. The Gateway Pundit also reported that Trump continues to lead with the middle class and those making over $75,000 a year. Hillary has a strong hold on those making less than $35,000 a year. Dont be fooledTrump has a very real chance of winning this election, especially in light of the fact that the investigation against Clinton has just been reopened. What do you think? Will you be voting for Trump of November 8? 
1	In an interview following his 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 victory over Ernests Gulbis at the BNP Paribas Open, Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal recounted hitting a shot during the second set Thursday that went super low over the net. That shot was a very close one, said Nadal, who explained that he kept thinking clear the net, clear the net right up until the tennis ball made it over the net. When you hit a shot that low to the net, of course you worry it will hit the net and not go over. And sometimes the ball even hits the white part and still goes over, but not always. This time I got lucky because it didnt even hit the white partit was just really super low. Nadal added that he was also pleased when the ball he had hit over the net landed so far in-bounds that it wasnt even on the line.

3	How Government Agents (Besides Cops) Are Killing Family PetsCarey Wedler Animal control agencies are often tasked with euthanizing dogs that are vicious or who, because of limited resources, cannot fit in shelters. Few people question these deaths. However, a new report from CNN reveals that animal control has been killing pets for far less legitimate reasons: because their owners cannot afford to pay fines on minor violations. This was the case in Stockton, California, where Gerilynn Aflleje found her Husky mix, Chunk, at a local shelter after he had gone missing for three weeks. The shelter demanded $180 within 24 hours for storing Chunk. When she couldnt pay, they killed him. She lamented that Colorado resident Caitlin McAdams faced tragedy when her two dogs were seized from her home two months after they were accused of killing a neighbors cat. There was no evidence to support the claim, witnesses denied the dogs guilt, and an autopsy proved the allegations unlikely. Nevertheless, McAdams was told she had to pay $1,200 within 10 days of the confiscation of her dogs or they would be put to sleep. This required immense financial sacrifice to prevent. She said, She has a jury trial this month, but as CNN reported: Dogs have been killed for less than this. Reasons include failing to license a pet, owning a dog that barks a lot, or accidentally letting an animal get loose in the neighborhood. Owners are charged for the storage of their pets until they are given a chance to argue their innocence. A CNNMoneyanalysis studied 15 cities and found thousands of warrants out for pet offenses. The fines run from hundreds to thousands of dollars; they often disadvantage the poor. In Riverside County, California last year, inspectors came under fire for going door to door in low-income and mostly Hispanic neighborhoods in the city of Indio, handing out fines up to $400. Residents were ticketed, among other things, for failing to have their pets licensed, not being up to date on vaccinations, not having pets sterilized, and failing to microchip their pets. The county claims to have a payment plan and fix it options for low-income families, but refuses to address the fundamental problem of killing peoples pets for an inability to pay exorbitant fines. In the case of Indio, Kim Maguire-Hardee, a local activist, said, A representative for the pet licensing department in Riverside argued tepidly that, Further, Riverside County argued that it needs to charge fines in order to generate revenue to house and take care of shelter pets. While this sounds noble, it ignores the contradiction that is exploiting pet owners and killing their animals in the name of helping animals. While these instances of state-sanctioned dog murder are disturbing, they highlight a deeper and even more sinister reality of government: it claims the moral authority not just to kill, but to make demands of money and subsequently murder when they are not met. This applies whether a police officer writes a ticket that a citizen refuses to pay or whether the IRS demands individuals give money to be spent on corrupt programs and destructive wars. If one refuses to give the government money, it will eventually lead to their arrest. If they resist, they will be killed or at least physically attacked. This power of taxation and violence defines the state. It is what embodies the institution of government. That it is now being used to kill peoples beloved pets because of their inability to pay ransom shows how severe the stranglehold of state authority has become. Highlighting these heart-wrenching stories of state abuse is a small but necessary action to raise awareness about the practices. Read more about this story here.

3	Big Pharma and Corporate Media Team Up For Pro-Vaccine PropagandaBrandon Turbeville Thus, at the end of 2013, the American public was met with an onslaught of fear-mongering propaganda predicting flu pandemics and imminent death if vaccination was not immediately sought. We then saw the major propaganda assault regarding the safety and effectiveness of vitamins and minerals by the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Now, in early 2014, we are witnessing another propaganda assault against the anti-vaccination movement with claims of increased outbreaks and apocalyptic scenes of sickness. The latest propaganda push comes not from the medical industry per se, however, but from an organization usually more focused on the spread of globalism, free trade, culture creation, and other domestic/international governmental policies, the Council on Foreign Relations. Following a volley of cynical assaults on parents and other individuals who have investigated the science, process, and risks of vaccination (or experienced these side effects firsthand), the CFR has created an interactive map of what it has deemed outbreaks of preventable diseases resulting from the anti-vaccination movement. This map was immediately circulated throughout the corporate media, with suggestions not only that non-vaccinators are crazy and irresponsible but that they do not have the freedom to make the choice not to vaccinate. In this regard, the LA Times report by Michael Hiltzik entitled The toll of the anti-vaccination movement in one devastating graphic comes to mind. Taking a look at the interactive map provided by the CFR, one may initially be struck by the number of highlighted bubbles placed across the map of the world indicating disease outbreaks. Many of these areas, of course, do represent outbreaks of the respective diseases some locations with over 10,000 cases of the measles, 5,000 cases of whooping cough, and 24,000 cases of rubella for instance. Before addressing the numbers and the locations, however, it is important to point out the first error of the CFR the labeling of the chart as Vaccine-Preventable outbreaks. As I have discussed in my article The Antibody Deception, the only way that vaccine effectiveness is measured is by the presence of antibodies specific to the disease in the bloodstream. However, antibody presence does not equal immunity. Thus, until the scientific community finds a way to actually determine the effectiveness of vaccines, the term vaccine preventable is misleading and should therefore no longer be used. Another misleading aspect of the chart is the actual definition of an outbreak. To most rational human beings, an outbreak represents the presence of a disease which then spreads quickly to a relatively large number of people within a given time frame context, not simply an isolated case of the disease in only one person. To the CFR, however, one isolated case of a disease is indeed considered an outbreak. All one has to do is hover over many of the bubbles on the map to see that the CFR has attempted to show an outbreak where none actually existed. In the United States, the biggest issue (from the representation on the CFR map) appears to be the prevalence of Pertussis/Whooping Cough. Some of these numbers do indeed rank in the thousands if the statistical integrity of the CFR is accurate (unfortunately, these figures do not appear to be either accurate or honest). However, it should be noted that, these outbreaks have occurred in a time of high pertussis vaccination. In fact, the vaccination rate ranks in the range of over 80% of the population (having had all four injections/booster shots) prompting the CDC to state that the vaccination rate for this disease has remained high and stable for at least the past decade. For other countries, however, Pertussis is not the main threat. Measles, if the statistics of the CFR are accurate, is the most common outbreak culprit. Measles outbreak rates (true outbreak numbers) are relatively high in Africa (particularly sub-saharan), the Middle East, some Asian countries and, interestingly enough, Europe. In Europe, the UK is the most afflicted with measles outbreaks. Although the CFR would have the readers believe that the UK has had such a disturbing outbreak of measles because of the refusal of many parents to inject their children with toxic chemicals, the evidence to support this claim is simply not there. Again, I refer the reader to my article The Antibody Deception, as well as to the scientific evidence suggested that vaccines are wholly ineffective. Thus, if vaccines are themselves ineffective, then a lack of vaccines would not exist as the reason for measles outbreaks. As is demonstrated in my article, Evidence Contradicts Whooping Cough Pro-Vaccine Propaganda, vaccines are not, in any way, the reason for the reduction of diseases seen in the latter half of the 20th century. Indeed, one need only take a closer look at the historical graphs to see that the overwhelming majority of these diseases were on their way down before the vaccines were even introduced. What did begin the reduction and elimination of disease was an increase in public sanitation, better access to clean water, and the general rise of living standards. Indeed, living standards play a vital role in the prevalence or reduction of disease in a society. Economic depression and war are quite possibly the two most important trigger forces known to man that can lead to an epidemic. During either of these two situations, the living standards of the vast majority of people are lowered, access to clean and plentiful food and water are reduced, sanitation standards are lowered, victims are in a constant state of stress, and housing conditions are forced to accommodate more and more people in less clean, smaller spaces. No rational individual can deny that the entire globe is now gripped in a worldwide economic depression. The United States, Canada, UK, Europe, and the entire Third World has been suffering through drastic unemployment, austerity, war, and the slashing of living standards. The UK has been in gradual decline ever since before the Second World War and, along with the occasional economic shock, took an even further nosedive down the economic ladder. Perhaps the fact that the British people suffer from systemic unemployment, vastly reduced living standards, and Malthusian healthcare practices plays a larger role than faith-based vaccination science could ever dream. Furthermore, it is important to note the levels to which immigration has been encouraged by Europe and the UK in particular. Indeed, the doors to Europe have been opened wide to immigrants from across the world, particularly African and Middle Eastern countries. The UK itself has multiplied that immigration by drastic numbers due to an attempt to socially engineer British culture. Thus, strapped in the middle of a worldwide economic depression which has hit Britain particularly hard, the UK was also strapped with a sudden influx of immigrants who were either left to their own devices with little assistance, competed with British workers for jobs, or allowed to obtain welfare payments. Regardless, immigrants in the UK now serve the purpose of acting as a permanent scab community as well as a permanent underclass. These immigrants, however, faced with the choice between extremely low wages, welfare subsistence, or general unemployment are often packed together in culture-specific neighborhoods and poor living conditions the latter being a recipe for the prevalence of disease. Keep in mind that the countries from which many of these immigrants come are also the countries that have experienced such high rates of measles. In addition to the potential causes of the diseases in question, it should be noted that the sources from which the CFR map was compiled does not come entirely from official national reporting agencies like the U.S. CDC or other relevant agencies (although some numbers do come from the CDC, WHO, and other organizations). Most of the information presented in the CFR map comes from reports in mainstream media outlets, whose claims may or may not match up with the actual numbers of disease outbreaks. In fact, many of these outlets would not even be considered credible in the eyes of many mainstream agencies if the results of the CFR research was not in accordance with an accepted agenda. As Sayer Ji points out, most of these source are simply rebroadcasted official statements of state- or private medical establishment-sponsored propaganda. These media outlets include many operations like PolioEradication.org, a rabidly pro-vaccine organization as well as what the CFR, LA Times, and other mainstream media outlets would normally label unreliable sources such as BrownwoodNews.com or state/county agencies such as DavisClipper.com. Indeed, the CFR graph is replete with sources such as those mentioned above either pro-vaccine organizations or unreliable reporting agencies. In short, the CFR is relying on non-evidence-based reports as opposed to the actual numbers. Very little source material is provided from National Health Agencies or peer-reviewed journals. As Sayer Ji points out, the CFR report is not based on peer-reviewed biomedical evidence as one would expect, but largely anecdotal evidence aggregated from unconfirmed and often unverifiable news stories. Ji also asks, If the CFRs map is evidence-based, why no references to the primary literature? Clearly nothing more than a major pro-vaccine PR push, the CFR map actually contains sources that disprove the claims it is intending to make. Such is the case with the inclusion of a report from the Springfield News Sun, which actually attributes one of the causes of the cases of Pertussis to the Pertussis vaccine itself. While the numbers provided by the CFR can be dissected endlessly, it is also important to point out that the CFR map and research was not entirely the result of the labor of the CFR itself. Indeed, the funding for the PR campaign was provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Gates Foundation is widely known for its pro-vaccine efforts, both in terms of financing and promotion, thus hardly making it a source of impartiality. In addition to its support for vaccination campaigns at home and abroad, however, the Gates Foundation is also known for the widespread damage these programs have caused. Please see my article Coming Soon: On Demand Nano-Vaccines Funded By Bill Gates in order to get an idea of the fruits of Gates labor in the field of vaccination and public health. Gates has also been instrumental in the development, support, and maintenance of a surveillance program aimed at monitoring anti-vaccine groups. Sayer Ji expertly sums up the recent CFR propaganda in his own article, Gates Foundation/CFR Propaganda Against Anti-Vaccine Movement Backfires, when he states, Although every year tends to bring a predictable round of propaganda efforts against unvaccinated people and those who choose natural methods of healthcare over the medical establishment, 2013-2014 has seen some of the most vicious and ridiculous attacks yet. What is most disturbing, however, is the visible trend toward an argument for forced vaccination and the removal of any choice regarding whether or not to vaccinate yourself or your children. This can be seen in the statement with which Michael Hiltzik closes his propaganda article for the LA Times, where he says, Unfortunately, such outright Communo-Fascist rhetoric does not set Hiltzik apart for ridicule and dismissal as it should. This is because Hiltzik is merely repeating a line that represents a mode of thought that has been present for quite a long time amongst the elite of society and the intellectual class; namely, that individuals are bereft of choice in even the most personal matters. This rhetoric has also found its way into the minds of the general public due to increased propaganda efforts aimed at stampeding them into accepting toxic injections. It is time for individuals like Hitzlik to remember that medical procedures and health concerns are indeed a public choice and that no amount of ignorance or fear on his part is a justification to remove that choice. If Hitzlik is so overcome with fear of catching a communicable disease, then perhaps he should take legitimate steps to boost his immune system. Even more so, he should take his annual vaccinations. After all, what should a vaccinated person have to fear from an unvaccinated one? Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

2	Obama Threatens To Defund The Military If We Dont Set Muslim Terrorists Free Throughout his two terms as President, Barack Obama has made it very clear that he does not respect our men and women in uniformwhether it be American law enforcement or the U.S. military. This week, the Obama administration took this to a new low when they announced that the president intends to veto a defense authorization bill if it does not shut down Guantanamo Bay. Breitbart reported that White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest claimed that the bill will be vetoed principally becauseof the irresponsible way that it funds our national defense priorities, but also because of the efforts to prevent the closure [of] the prison at Guantanamo Bay. What do you think? Is it pathetic that Obama is placing Muslim terrorists ahead of our own soldiers? Do we need this traitor out of the White House ASAP? 
2	BREAKING: Thousands Of Minutemen Troops Storm The Border To Stop The Invasion Well, it what is a clear demonstration of the flaws in our system, American citizens are still being forced to do what the government will not to protect our borders from illegal immigrants. According to recent reports, the Minuteman Project recently released a call for volunteer minute men to help with security efforts. Fed up with a lack of action from the government, Jim Gilchrist of the Minuteman Project have decided to take matters into their own hands. He has not issues for citizen volunteers to join him at the Mexican-American border. What do you think? Do you support Gilchrist? Is it time the government stopped forcing Americans to take action? 
3	VICTORY! Maryland Ends Mandatory Minimums for Drug Users, Lets Non-Violent Offenders Out EarlyBy Matt Agorist This is a huge victory in the war on drugs. Mixed in with a slew of tax legislation were two componentsthat are nothing short of revolutionary in the way the state handles non-violent drug users. Instead of categorizing drug users, whose only crime is using an arbitrary substance deemed illegal by the state, as criminals, the state of Maryland will help them. In Maryland, the prisons have been filling up with individuals who have been kidnapped by police for possessing certain substances. While many of these people are legitimate addicts, some of them are responsible users who just so happen to cross paths with police. Either way, they all rot in a jail cell which only serves to prolong any previous problems and, in fact, leads to non-criminals turning into criminals because of influences on the inside. The cost to treat an addict versus locking one in a cage is stark in contrast. The price of treating someone for their problem instead of kidnapping and caging them is less than half. When costs are reduced so dramatically, police can actually tend to real crime instead of filling prisons with drug users. The other facet to this revolutionary legislation is that it will allow non-violent offenders locked up for drugs and other petty crimes to be released from prison far earlier. This is incredible news for family members whove lost brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers to the states incessant war on substances. Maryland now becomes one of nearly two dozen other states to realize the Draconian nature of mandatory minimum sentences, and as more people wake up, more states will follow suit. In a surprising addition, lawmakers also negotiated details in a police accountability package that wouldlet citizens participate in officer disciplinary boards, set tougher training standards and encourage law enforcement agencies across the state to develop better relationships with the communities they police, according to the Baltimore Sun. Naturally, the police union was outspoken about the potential for their officers to face the consequences of their actionsand voiced their concern during negotiations. Unfortunately, this limited the scope of the accountability measures. The legislation passed the House with a bipartisan vote of 122-19, with the opponents being highly outspoken. As the Journal reports,Del. Pat McDonough, R-Baltimore County, who was among the lawmakers who voted against the legislation, said he was concerned about a lack of treatment slots for those who would be directed to rehabilitation under the bill. He also questioned whether the measure would truly improve public safety as intended. The good news is that this vote shows that people like McDonough are a dying breed. While most politicians want to continue prohibition, they are finding the economic and scientific implications for ending it hard to ignore. Slowly but surely, dinosaur politicians are waking up to the immoral and ineffective atrocities of waging a war on drugs. There is zero justification for kidnapping someone and locking them in a cage for choosing to partake in an arbitrary substance deemed illegal by the state. Locking people in prison, even for non-crimes such as drug possession, guarantees a drastic increase in that personschances of ending up in the criminal justice system again. This vicious cycle is so well known that it has its own word: recidivism. Referring to the caging of morally innocent human beings for victimless crimes as rehabilitation, is a sick joke. Scarring someones future potential by removing their ability get a decent job, creating an incentive to delve back into the criminal market, is not rehabilitation, its nefarious.

2	Obama Refuses To Solute Marine After Getting Helicopter From Lavish Vacation [VIDEO] Time and time again, President Obama has proven to the American people that he has very little respect for our men and women in uniform. Not only has he made terrible strategic choices as our Commander in Chief, like reducing our presence in the Middle East or releasing terrorists in exchange for a deserter, but he shows a blatant disregard for these brave men and women when in their presence. In a video that has now gone viral, Obama is shown coming back from vacation and walking right past a United States Marine who is saluting him. He simply refuses to acknowledge his presenceeven with something as simple as a nod or a wink. This is just the most recent example of Obamas true character, and it cannot be ignored. 
2	Patriotic Bikes Take To The Highway With Massive Announcement For Trumps Inauguration With Donald Trumps inauguration just a few days away, Bikers for Trump are gearing up to fight against liberals planning to ruin the ceremony with protests and roadblocks. According to reports from The US Herald, Bikers For Trump is set to be the largest pro-Trump demonstration during the inauguration. Chris Cox, the founder of the biker group, fought with the National Park Service to get the permits that are necessary for the gathering after he was told that all public space permits had already been granted to anti-Trump groups. Cox told reporters that 5,000 bikers are expected to show up for the event, making it the largest pro-Trump event thus far. The group will also host speakers and musical performers at John Marshall Park, near the U.S. Capitol Building and the parade route. Cox said he is not expecting any trouble. Im confident the police have learned from Arizona, Chicago and a lot of other places where things got out of hand, he said. I think it will be a lot like Cleveland and they will have beaucoup police presence. This came after protest group DisruptJ20 announced plans to kick off their anti-Trump demonstrations this week by holding a dance party outside of Mike Pences house. We are planning to shut down the inauguration, thats the short of it, Legba Carrefour, a spokesman for the group, told reporters. Were pretty literal about that, we are trying to create citywide paralysis on a level that I dont think has been seen in D.C. before. Were trying to shut down pretty much every ingress into the city as well as every checkpoint around the actual inauguration parade route. What do you think? Do you support Bikers for Trump? 
2	Liberals Demand That White Citizens Make Cash Payments To Minorities For Institutional Racism [VIDEO] This will just make you sick. According to recent reports, Rinna Rem, a 29-year-old Asian woman living in Portland, OR, has started demanding that white people pay for her therapy. According to Rem, living as a Thai-Cambodian in a predominately white society has driven her to a point of stress where she is spending $100 a month on therapy. On a fundraising page, Rem claims that she has suffered institutional racism throughout her entire life. Dear white friends, I grew up in and live in the [Portland] area. The stress of living as a Thai-Cambodian woman in such a white city replete with constant interpersonal and institutional racism has a big toll on my health and wellbeing. I see an amazing therapist to cope with this s**t, but I spend $100/month on therapy for bi-weekly appointments. Now its your turn to pay! I want to live a healthy, happy life. I want to have a healthy, happy family in the future too. Help me pay for therapy to deal with the stress of racism. Please dont let racism shorten my life or kill me. Rem also points out that living with everyday stress from racism can lead to mental health problems. She has already received nearly $1,500.

The explosives weighed about 10kg, more than enough to bring down a flight. The terrorist tried to hide the explosives in the form of ink cartridges, but fortunately security was able to make the arrest. ISIS took down a Russian flight just a few weeks ago. We thank God that they werent successful in this last attempt. Over half the people on board were Americans. This could have ended very badly. Do you think its important that national security is tighter than ever? 
2	Boy Walks Into Class With AntiThere have been some pretty epic stories going viral this week, but this one might just top the list. According to reports, a young high school student by the name of Mason recently wore his Hillary for Prison 2016 shirt to class one day. The shirt immediately caught the attention of one of his liberal teachers. Masons father noted that his son and the pro-Hillary teacher frequently discussed their political differences. So.Mason wore his Hillary for Prison 2016 to shirt to school today, his father wrote on Facebook. One of his Clinton-supporting teachers whom hes has political discussions with asked, Did you wear that for me? His reply? No. For Chris Steven. Wed love to see his teachers face after that one. This kid deserves an award.

2	Inside Look At Islamberg, The Muslim Community That Has Some Americans Worried The liberal media has insisted that anyone who is concerned about Islamic law taking over in the United States is racist or paranoid. Now, new information reveals that the idea isnt as far-fetched as Democrats would like you to believe. Recently, Infowars reporters Joe Biggs and Josh Owens were just interrogated by New York Police after they started investigating Islamberg, a Muslim community in America that is rumored to be a terrorism compound. The town is harbored in Tompkins, Delaware County. Biggs and Owens arrived there unexpectedly after they heard rumors of the growing attraction for jihadists. They wanted to investigated reports of unusual sounds of gunfire and explosionsemanating from the compound. The two reporters were quickly interrogated. They were told by security guards that they would not be allowed to enter the town until they had verified their credentials. Biggs provided the guards with his phone number, and not long after received a call from the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Owens also received a call, although he had not provided his number. What do you think? Is this too suspicious to ignore? 
3	John Kerry to Starving Africans: Dont Build New Farms, Just Plant More GMOMelissa Melton How many kids in first world countries have likely heard their mom utter that phrase at the dinner table at least once? It may be an overused image, but that doesnt make it any less valid. There really are lots of starving children in Africa. Well, this week Secretary of State John Kerry took to the podium at the U.S.Africa Leaders Summit to say that Africans shouldnt build more farms because that would contribute to man-made global warming through a process that releases significant amounts of carbon pollution. No, instead, they should just make existing lands more productive: And now another part of this story is that certain agricultural processes can actually release carbon pollution and help contribute to the problem in the first place its a twisted circle But we also know there are ways to change that. For example, rather than convert natural areas to new farmland, a process that typically releases significant amounts of carbon pollution, we can instead concentrate our efforts on making existing farmlands more productive. This is an area where African leaders have actually been ahead, and significantly ahead of the game for some time. On the surface, what Kerry is proposing sounds almost passable as a potentially smart idea, doesnt it? Dont build any new farms which may not be very productive and instead, just put all existing resources into making existing farms more productive. If only it was that simple and that advice was coming from someone who wasnt a Skull and Bones tool of the U.S. corporate establishment, it might be easier to even attempt to consider it in a positive light. However, when dealing with anything modern agriculture, its been made all too clear that the phrase more productive has been hijacked and is just another way of saying genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Setting the Agenda 21 slant embedded in Kerrys statement aside for the moment, the U.S.-oriented emphasis on genetically modified big agribusiness is just what Kerry and the rest of the Obama Administration are pushing here. In 2012, the White House and USAID introduced the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition at the G8, ostensibly to end hunger in Africa though critics quickly slammed it for slashing aid funds and promoting corporate agriculture interests (such as Monsanto and Syngenta). Critics in Africa dubbed it a new form of colonialism, horrified at the rewriting of laws to favor private agribusiness investment. According to the [Bill Melinda Gates Foundation-supported] London Guardian, African governments agreed to change seed, land and tax laws to favour private investors over small farmers. In essence, the brunt of the program would result in assisted small farmers being forced into dependence on purchasing private GMO seeds and boutique hybrids, unable to save seeds and in debt to purchases for farming equipment, training, etc. The Organic Consumers Association tore apart the 2012 agreement, pointing out the basic flaws in the program, and its uneven gains for corporate partners: Moreover, the governmental New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition is essentially only mirroring the aims of the Bill Gates and Rockefeller Foundation aims, which are inherently tied to these corporate agribusiness solutions. Their AGRA Alliance (Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa) co-founded by the Gates Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation in 2006 uses the Trojan Horse of philanthropic aid to break government and societal barriers to the entrance of Big Agra, along with adoption of their genetically modified technological as the solution to poverty. Of course, it goes without saying that these do-gooder billionaires are some of the biggest shareholders in these very firms. It was publicized, for starters, that Bill Gates owns some 500,000 shares in Monsanto. The Rockefeller involvement and ownership in agriculture, biotech, vaccines, and medicine is deep indeed, and could be the subject of endless study of their philanthropy and foreign policy intervention over the past century. To point out one qualifier of this claim, here is an open letter Monsanto sent to the Rockefeller Foundation in 1999 (when their GMO grip on the worlds agriculture was still solidifying) thanking them for advising the biotech giant on the creation of terminator seed technology, and more generally in pushing genetically modified crops as a solution to feeding the world. Worse, African farmers are being violently pushed off their land and having their houses burned to the ground, thereby being further impoverished and all in order to grow biofuels for renewable energy, and even worse, to plant trees to offset carbon emissions and assuage First World green guilt! So, instead of Africans building any new small farms and perhaps finding a way to become self-sustaining, they should rely on the U.S. governments targeted building up of industrial mega farms there, just like we have here in the U.S., and fill those babies up to the brim with GMO. Because, by the way, that model of zero self-sufficiency is also working out just swell here, where only 2% of the country grows all the food for the other 98%, Big Ag companies like Monsanto are self-regulated and practically own our government, our grocery stores are filled with heavily processed, chemical-laden garbage, and its hard to find anything that hasnt been grown with a multitude of synthetic, carcinogenic pesticides or, in the case of livestock, been injected with antibiotics and endocrine-disrupting hormones before being stuffed full of GMO in the ethical nightmare that is a CAFO lot. The word sustainable has been hijacked too, but regardless, the heavily industrialized, chemical-dependent way America farms is anything but the definition of sustainable. Bigger is better is a total myth when it comes to farm efficiency. Studies have shown that smaller farms actually produce more output with less (ever-increasing) chemical inputs. The giant farms we have here are growing mostly GMO corn and soybeans, the majority of which is going to feed livestock on CAFO lots and for biofuel production, not direct nutrition on dinner plates. Check out the article Small Farms, Not Monsanto, Are Key to Global Food Security for more on that. Not to mention that America is a country that outspends every other nation on Earth for healthcare by far we spend 18% or more of our entire GDP on it and yet, somehow the nation has now fallen to 42nd for life expectancy at birth when compared to the rest of the world. The numbers of cases of type II diabetes, obesity, auto-immune disorders and cancer are all rising on a perpetual J curve. The sick are getting sicker and there are more sick people here all the time. Maybe the U.S. isnt the model the rest of the world should follow when it comes to farming and eating. Although, obviously the United States, with all its corporate-backed GMO food aid has absolutely zero interest in any nation it helps (including itself) ever gaining food security.

3	Man Plans 9/11 Redux to Prove Conspiracy Theories By Crashing Plane Into Old BuildingBy Mac Slavo But it is sure to draw plenty of attention. An American expat living in Thailand is hoping to raise enough money to purchase an old jet and an old building in the countryside in effort to recreate the attacks of 9/11 on the Twin Towers. Though he says he isnt a conspiracy theorist, Paul Salo is hoping to use this 9/11 redux demonstration to lend credence to those who say the impact of a plane crash wasnt enough to cause the collapses seen on September 11 or to disprove those ideas once and for all. The Daily Mail reports: An American expat who lives in Thailand is raising money to recreate the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in an effort to prove conspiracy theories right or wrong. [] The American entrepreneur, who has lived in Asia since 1989, added that he thinks his reconstruction will find that there was similar physics that caused the twin towers in New York to collapse. Were going to purchase a 747 or equivalent aircraft thats about to go out of service, were going to fill it full of jet fuel, were going to purchase a building thats about to be torn down in the countryside and were going to crash it at 500 miles per hour into that building, he says in the video. If theres just a smoking hole in the building and nothing happens, you pretty much know it was a hoax, right? Cause its obvious, right? Heres his video explaining the project: Through a Facebook page titled 9/11 Redux, Paul Salo hopes to raise between $300,000 and $1.5 million through crowdfunding in order to buy the used plane, the building and pay for the crew necessary to oversee the project and verify the specs and assess the similar structure of the building he would use. Crowfunding project: We will autopilot fly a fully loaded 767 or equivalent aircraft into the closest building we can find in structure to the WTC. A force for truth when there are no other options. The gov wont do it. Companies wont do it. Individuals cant do it. We do it. Join us. The entire event would be filmed from multiple angles, and the planes black box would provide data about what took place in the staged crash. With the aid of experts and building inspectors, he aims to make the event as similar as possible to the original without, of course, any people in harms way. Salo claims that he has been in early talks with the Thai military and that he isnt pushing any one side of the contentious debate about what really happened on 9/11 that continues to stir controversy and deep-seated feelings about a government conspiracy. Salo writes on Facebook: We dont have a fixed mindset: Open for any truth that will come through these activities. Those who have questioned the truth about 9/11 have pointed to statements by the engineers and architects of the actual World Trade Center who suggest that jet fuel could not have caused the collapse of the buidings heavily reinforced steel column structure. Numerous groups, including Architects Engineers for 9/11 Truth, have challenged the official version of events and sought to disprove the government narrative. Paul Salo, however, does not claim to be affiliated with any of these people he just wants to stage the crash to add firsthand example to the ongoing debate on all sides. The technical differences between the enormous skyscrapers that once stood in lower Manhattan and the kind of old building that can be bought up may be significant, but there is no doubt that the gutsy crowdfunding project would be an interesting addition to the debate.

You can read more from Mac Slavo at SHTFplan.com In order for the experiment to work out properly, the building also needs to be wired for demolition. Once the airplane fails to bring down the building, they can then use the explosives. This would provide the no brainer method for how buildings are eliminated. A second airplane can be used to attempt to bury itself into the ground. For the final airplane act, a third plane can be use to vanish into a reinforced structure, resembling the Pentagon. If only a smaller building can be found, a smaller airplane should be used. All should be proportional. Regarding building seven, a few floors of a building can be lit on fire to see how long it takes to collapse. Yes, lets do it! The architects said (more or less) a plane hitting the tower would be like a fly hitting a screen. i heard it compared to poking a pencil through a window screenthe mesh is too solidly joined together to be torn apart that easily How does he intend to fly a 747 500 mph at ground level, way over Vmax which is one more reason the official story is BS. Where is he going to get a reinforced military drone? He hasnt done his homework. If you havent already, see my comment below on trying to fly a large commercial jet airliner at cruising speed at sea level. I did the math a long time ago. It would be hilarious if it werent so hair-raising. Purchase an old building in the countryside thats about to be torn down??? So over in Thailand they just have 110 story skyscrapers dotting the countryside? Some farms and some forests and a few mega skyscrapers just sitting out in a field somewhere. Sounds legit. Yeah and he is an expat (CIA?) who makes sure its known he isnt a conspiracy theorist. 2+2= I tried to watch the second video a second time, but the browser said the page could not be found. I saw a horizontal plume of smoke, just below the falling dust, twice. On another video, the same had been photoshopped in, but here they were in the correct position. The plumes indicate an explosion on one of the external steel girders. As someone who has been involved in several controlled demolitions, and who has some knowledge of the unique structure of the old WTC, my first impression of the fall of the towers was they were great examples of a perfectly controlled demolition that went almost exactly right. I also saw evidence that some of the steel girders had been cut by explosive charges, not damages by fire or falling. One of the comments contained the first estimates of the planes speeds at the time of the crashes, and these were far higher than I had estimated form the videos. Excellent post. BTW, the well researched documentary The New Pearl Harbor does a good job reviewing the Vmax issue on 9/11. Ive also come across the analogy of a sprinter trying to run underwater. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWUzfJGmt5U 
2	Obama Disrespects Military Vet In Disgusting Way President Obama has repeatedly raised eyebrows with some of his actions towards the military and our men in uniform. Hes often been seen as lacking a support for them, or even disrespecting them all together. So it did not help his cause when he decided to miss the funeral of the highest-ranking officer killed in combat since Vietnam. According to recent reports, Obama decided not to attend the Arlington National Cemetery funeral of Major General Harold Greene, a 2-star general. In fact, not a single high-ranking government official made it to the event to honor the fallen soldier. What do you think? Is this a disgrace? Does this speak volumes about the Obama administration? 
2	ExFormer Defense Secretary Robert Gates did not hold back on a recent MSNBC appearance on Morning Joe, where he criticized President Barack Obama and the inner circle he has built within his administration. Host Joe Scarborough asked Gates to address criticisms that Obama thinks of himself as the smartest guy on the room. Lets just say Gates did not censor himself in his response. You know, the president is quoted as having said at one point to his staff, I can do every one of your jobs better than you can, Gates commented. Oh my god, Scarborough proclaimed. Gates was appearing on the program to promote his new book, called: A Passion for Leadership: Lessons on Change and Reform from Fifty Years of Public Service. The primary topic discussed in the book is presidential leadership qualities. Gates went on to criticize Obama because he has centralized power and operational activities of the government in the White House to a degree that [he] think(s) is unparalleled. An NSC (National Security Council) staff of 450 people at this point. One of the greatest weaknesses of the White House is implementation of strategy, Gates concluded. Is difficulty in developing strategy and then implementing that strategy. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	BREAKING: Ivanka Just Did The Unthinkable To Her Father... Trump Administration FURIOUS According to recent reports, Ivanka Trump will not be attending the next presidential debate. She is rumored to be outraged about the leak of a Howard Stern interview where her father made some pretty graphic remarks about women. His comments included telling Stern it was okay for him to call Ivanka a hot piece of a**. Though Ivanka has not yet issued a statement on Trumps comments, his wife Melania has. And this must come as a slap in the face to Ivanka, who has been trying to help him capture the support of women voters. I have witnessed these incredible female role models that hes employed in the highest executive positions at the Trump organization my entire life, in an industry that has been dominated by men, Ivanka commented. He believes in inspiring women, empowering women. In a previous interview, she also made the following comment: Hes not a groper. Its not who he is. Ive known my father obviously my whole life, and he has total respect for women. It would be hard for Ivanka to stand behind that statement now, and it is no wonder that she is taking a break. This doesnt look good for Trump. What do you think? Can he recover from this? 
2	BREAKING: Star Witness In Mike Brown Case To Be Charged With Perjury Dorian Johnson, was with Brown at the time of the shooting, initially he stated that the victim had said I dont have a gun, stop shooting before being lethally shot by Wilson. This testimony was later found to be untrue. Still it didnt stop the statement from setting in motion the hands up, dont shoot movement that has spread like wild fire from one corner of the country to the next, alongside violent riots. Now close friends of Officer Darren Wilson are taking action and demanding charges be brought against star witness Dorian Johnson of the Michael Brown shooting for perjury. Dorian Johnson is the one who started it all. If it was up to me he should be charged, said a close friend of Darren Wilson. He got right on CNN, he got right on TV and started blabbering his mouth off. I could tell by his voice that he was lying. The friend mentioned Johnsons statement that he hid behind a vehicle yet saw everything as evidence that he was dishonest. Thats not possible, the friend commented. Also adding Darren Wilsons story makes sense regardless of whether I knew him or not, Dorian Johnson has since alleged that the process of the trial has left him feeling victimized, also stating that this whole situation started because he didnt like the way Wilson approached him, speaking to him like a father reprimanding his child. What do you think should Johnson be charged for perjury? 
2	Obama Admin Gives Known Muslim Terrorists Visas According to recent reports, the Obama administration has been working to allow another 200,000 Muslim refugees into the United States. This comes at a time when security has been proven to be inadequate, with several terrorists gaining access to the United States already. Its clear that Obama is perfectly content putting American citizens lives at risk for his so-called humanitarian resettlement program. Now, Senators Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby are standing up for national security. Congress must cancel the Presidents blank refugee check and put Congress back in charge of the program, they wrote in a joint statement. We cannot allow the President to unilaterally decide how many refugees he wishes to admit, nor continue to force taxpayers to pick up the tab for the tens of billions of unpaid-for welfare and entitlement costs. The report filed by the two cited several examples of security breaches that have happened during this refugee process. One man from Egypt was charged with providing material support for ISIS and was involved in terrorist training. Another man from India was indicted by the federal court on charges of conspiring to provide thousands of dollars to al-Qaeda. And another immigrant from Syria was charged with smuggling rifle scopes to a Syrian rebel group. What do you think? Does the safety of our citizens need to be our number one priority? We cant let things like this happen under our watch. 
2	Clinton Ex Says Bill Crossed, Then Drops Bombshell Bill Revealed About Hillary Sally Perdue (formerly Miss Arkansas Sally Miller) was in her early forties when then-Gov. Bill Clinton regularly visited her for romantic liaisons. He was 37-years-old and had not yet become President of the United States. According to Perdue, Clinton was a bit of a jokester. He would slip on her nightgown and dance around the room, playing his sax. Interactions like this were regular during their affair in 1983. In a recent interview with Daily Mail, Sally revealed that Clintons lovemaking was a largely forgettable act. Instead, she claims, the best part of the affair was Bills willingness to divulge secrets about his wife, Hillary Clinton. Now, with Hillary running for President of the United States, Perdue has been preparing a tell-all memoir about her time spent with Bill 33 years ago. She told reporters that they can expect the details of unguarded conversations, including Bills claims about Hillarys preference for female companionship. More importantly, Perdue notes, it will expose her position as a victim in a relentless Democratic campaign to silence her. She claims she has been harassed incessantly, to the point that she often fears for her safety. Recently, she took to social media to announce that if she ever dies of suicide, nobody should believe those claims. This scenario does not seem far-fetched to Perdue, who claims that she has been stalked, spied upon and bombarded with anonymous phones ever since the word of her memoir leaked. I think she wonders what Bill told me, Perdue told reporters. I think she wonders how much I know about her that came from Bill. With the election coming up, she cant afford any sort of loose end. What do you think? Do we need to keep the Clintons and their scandals far away from the White House? 
1	Just four days after giving their 6-year-old son Tanner a copy of 1,001 Silliest Knock-Knock Jokes In The World, Kevin and Jennifer Voskuil are already experiencing deep regrets about the decision, the Mercer Island couple reported Monday. 'Hoozere?' asked a bleary-eyed Kevin, trying to sleep on the living-room sofa as Tanner read him yet another joke. ''Orange you glad I didn't say banana?' That's a funny one. Run outside to the garage and tell it to your mom.' Jennifer, who has been treated to 762 of the 1,001 knock-knock jokes as of press time, expressed hope that Tanner can be weaned off the book and onto one that is less interactive. 'Maybe the Guinness Book Of World Records,' Jennifer said. 'Or the thesaurus.'

3	How to communicate when the world goes silentSo how would you communicate with your family or get help if communications go down? So if you found yourself in the middle of a wide-scale disaster such as a hurricane or other catastrophe andyou had no government coming to help for a while, how would you communicate with your family or others? What if the power grid went down? You wont be able to rely on your cell phone. There are alternatives, however. Ill go over the basics of some emergencycommunication methods but if you want more detail, check out Personal Emergency Communications: Staying in Touch Post-Disaster: Technology, Gear and Planning. Short-term emergencies have shown the limitations of using cell phones to coordinate with each other. Even if the towers are operational, they cant handle the added traffic of millions of people trying to get a hold of loved ones or help. Ever had trouble calling your mother on the morning of Mothers Day? During many recent events, cell phone service wasnt an option for many for days. The system became seriously overloaded on 9/11 so calls wouldnt go through, 70% of the towers went down during Katrina and were down for days, and most areas havent been adequately improved across the US. These wont be isolated events. Dont think that because you live in a large metropolitan area that youre safer. A quick look at some of the things that went on during Hurricane Sandy in NY will show that the government has a lot to deal with in addition to just trying to get your cell phone service back up so even though that was a pretty short-term event, it caused a lot of problems. Here are just a few issues that would affect you being able to pull out your iPhone to call up people: Now dont get me wrong, for day-to-day emergencies, such as getting a flat tire, a cell phone usually works pretty well. Its just a crappy solution for big emergencies. Theyll be pretty useless if the national grid goes down due to a cyber attack, EMP or CME, which is actually a lot more likely than you might think. One cool idea thats coming out is the goTenna cell phone radio antenna system. Your cell phone connects to it via Bluetooth and an app, and the signal is sent and received through an encrypted radio signal. How awesome is that? It wont be able to reach to the other side of a city but you should be able to locate your family if theyre in the area and maybe even communicate with others if they have the system. So if you cant rely on cell phone service, what other options do you have? CB radio for emergency comms A lot of people grew up watching BJ and the Bear and they remember seeing all the truckers talking over the air with each other. CB radio is definitely more available during an emergency but they have a lot of limitations. For one, not a lot of people are on CB. You might be able to find someone in a truck but even thats harder to find. The problem isnt just the lack of people who use it, its the lack of people in your range that use it. One of the big reasons your range is very limited with CB vs other systems is that theyre limited to 5 watts input which is about 4 watt out. That may be just some vague notion but more power means more distance. At the frequencies that CB radios use, you can only expect to get between 1 and 10 miles or so, depending on the terrain.There could be a million people in the US with their CBs all on the same channel at the same time, but if theyre not within range, you wont be talking. You might think that you could just hack into your ham radio and pump out more power, but the FCC goes after people who do that(just a few examples). Obviously if SHTF, youre not gonna really care about that but remember that adding more power to transmit and receive farther doesnt do anything to help you hear the other guy with a normal CB transmitter. For a lot of emergency situations, satellite phones are pretty good. The first problem with them though is cost. Theyre mighty expensive. Not only do you have to shell out for the phone, you have to pay for service and minutes. If youre stranded somewhere though, it may be worth the cost. They dont always work though. I had one with me at all times when I was in Uganda, and it came in hella handy at times. They dont like jungles though due to the trees blocking the satellites and contrary to what every freaking movie shows, they dont work indoors or inside a ship like they kept showing inWorld War Z(which was a decent movie but movie mistakeslike that drive me crazy). The real problem is that its highly unlikely youd need it in a normal household so theyre ONLY good for emergencies and probably not worth the cost. Another big problem is that just like cell phones, they rely on the satellites to function so if the satellites stop working, then so do the satellite phones. Obviously. Solar storms and CMEs have taken out satellites in the past. They will do it again. For local communication, GMRS, FRS and MURS radios are pretty good. They dont require an FCC license for FRS and MURS, theyre cheap, and easy to use. Theyve pretty much replaced CB radios for a lot of families. As such, even though theyre an improvement, they have a lot of the same limitation on power and range. If you have a true GMRS radio, you may be able to tap into a repeater, which will expand your range to possibly hundreds of miles, but the repeater obviously has to be running, and you have to be within range of the repeater for your radio to hit it. GMRS radios are also allowed to operate at higher power than a lot of other radios. You also need a license to use GMRS frequencies. Basically, if youre considering one of these radio systems for emergency use, go with a true GMRS radio and get the license. So now that Ive gone through several options that you could choose, but obviously from the title I dont recommend, lets look at ham radio. Ham radio is the go-to communication system for pretty much every emergency response system and is what MARS (the Military Auxiliary Radio System) and ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) both use, as well as many search and rescue and other emergency groups. One of the nice things is that a lot of ham radios can reach the national weather system (NOAA) frequencies. That means that if you have a radio, you can find out whats going on in the area. If you have a radio scanner, you can listen to whats going on with emergencyfrequencies as well as any other that the scanner can reach, and you dont have to know which one theyre transmitting on. Thats why they call it a scanner. It goes in a loop up through whatever frequencies you tell it to and it stops if it hears someone transmitting. Here is a list of amateur radio emergency frequencies that you should keep in mind when both looking for radios and coming up with your emergency communications plan: 34.90: Used nationwide by the National Guard during emergencies. Here is a large list of different frequencies that you could use to put together a list of channels to follow during an emergency or other times. Ham radio operation requires a license, but as you can see in this article, theyre easy to get. This isnt quite as daunting as it seems, especially considering you dont need to learn Morse code anymore, but it still requires some studying. There are threemainlevels of licensing: Technician, General and Extra. The higher license you get, the more frequencies you can use. This is important. The lower license will get you started but you really need the higher licenses if you want to communicate around the world. So why is itimportant to get a license? In non-emergency life, you have to be concerned that the FCC will go after you if you transmit on a frequency that youre not allowed to operate. For you to be ready for a SHTF scenario, you need to have the equipment and practice with it in order to make sure youll be able to get through. Just like with FCC investigators and volunteers who track down offenders (you have to call out your FCC callsign every 10 minute on the air or youll probably get some unwanted attention), if you find yourself in martial law and dont want to be found, they can track you down pretty easily. So why does it matter about what frequencies? Just like with CB radios and the others, the frequency will affect how far you can transmit/receive a signal. This can be pretty complicated so its best to get a good book on antennas and propagation, and work with more experienced people to help you get going. There are a LOT of people around the world who use amateur radio. These people are typically in tune with dealing with emergencies or working with communicating with people in different scenarios. Because of the range ham radios can get, its a LOT easier to get a hold of someone during an emergency. These people are also extremely resourceful so even if they dont have a working radio (such as after an EMP pulse), they can make one. I currently have three ham radios. An inexpensive Baofeng UV-5R handheld that I keep on my Harley, a great Yaesu VX-6R waterproof handheld with an upgraded antenna that I keep in my bugout bag, and a portable Yaesu FT-857d radioi that I can run off a 12v battery. Im seriously considering upgrading to the Yaesu VX-8DR though because its pretty awesome. You might prefer the VX-8GR though. Heres a video that shows the difference and some of the cool features, btw: A big part of getting your signal out and hearing others is the antenna so if you get a handheld, Id suggest upgrading the antenna like I mentioned above. Keep in mind also that if you get a Baofeng that their antenna connections are different so youll need an adapter in some cases. There are a lot of repeaters around the world that can help you transmit long distances with just a little radio. Basically, a repeater will listen to the little radios in its immediate surroundings and then blast the signal out for hundreds, or thousands, of miles. Obviously the repeaters need to be functioning to do this but people who have repeaters are usually up on emergency communication and will have backup power systems. If they go down, they usually know how to fix it. There are even repeaters that use the internet so if you tap into a repeater and type in the address of a remote repeater in another country, what you say on your little radio will blast out to that point on the other side of the world. I talked to a guy in Australia on the first day I got my Yaesu handheld that way. Because ham radio people are crafty lot (and some places dont allow antennas), there is a whole sub-genre of ways to make antennas so they cant be detected (by sight, not by signal). Antennas can be made out of flagpoles, ladders, fences, railings, and a lot of other things in plain sight. They can also be hidden inside things or buried. There are several books such asLow Profile Amateur Radio: Operating a Ham Station from Almost Anywherethat can show you how to do these (which is a great book, by the way but good luck finding a copy of it). Here are a couple more: With the proper knowledge (which you can pretty much only get with practice), you can make a radio out of stuff you can find pretty much anywhere that will transmit on frequencies that you can reach other people. Not only is this useful to hide your antennas, it could seriously come in handy if you had to make an antenna in an emergency. Obviously, the more experience you have with radios, the easier itll be for you to do something like this. As Ive mentioned, amateur radio operators are not only creative and resourceful, theyre very in tune with handling emergency situations. There are several groups that use ham radio for dealing with disasters or for search and rescue. The two biggest areRadio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) andAmateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES). If you want to get started learning about ham radio as an effective emergency communications system for you or your family, check out the Prepared Ham Forum. My buddy AD owns the site, and its great for learning and asking questions. Lots of helpful people on there to help out. With the right equipment and some practice, you can easily get around the world. And, you dont have to actually buy a radio to do it. Thats one of the greatest things about learning and using ham radio. You can literally make a working radio out of scrap. There will always be scrap. You will always be able to make a radio. In addition to the plethora of ham radio equipment and information available, a good basis of theory can get you talking to people even if all electricity and electronics are taken out.Here are some examples of what you can do with a little knowledge: A foxhole radio was used by GIs during WWII and beyond. The cool thing is that it doesnt require a power source and is made from simple parts like a pencil and razor blade. Its only a receiver, though. Crystal Radios There are many, many, many ways to make a radio out of household items. Way too many to list them here. Suffice it to say that with all the wires and old electronics laying around, making a simple radio receiver is pretty simple. Just like the foxhole radio, these pretty much only receive. They can also be made to use power from the signal itself so they dont all need anything else to power them. Fear not dudes and dudettes, you can still make a transmitter out of stuff you can find in a lot of homes or junkyards: The spark-gap transmitter Spark-gap transmitters are pretty simple to make. The good thing is that they transmit over a HUGE frequency range so pretty much anyone nearby is gonna hear it. The bad things are that theyre illegal (for the same reason) and can zap the heck out of you if youre not careful. You also have to learn Morse code or create your own in order to have anyone have any idea what youre trying to say. If you dont have a ham radio license yet (or actually, even if you do), you should look at getting an emergency shortwave radio so you can listen into weather bulletins etc. The Safe-T-Proof radio is a great little one to have because you can charge it with a hand crank or the solar panel, it has a flashlight and a cell phone charger outlet on it too. It wont have the range of a ham radio with a good antenna, but it could be really useful in an emergency, and you dont have to worry about running out of power. So, there are many different ways to communicate during a disaster situation or if society collapses but for the most flexible and effective way, you should seriously look into getting your ham radio license and start playing with it. Its a great hobby and one that could be the difference between finding your family in an emergency or losing them. Either way, make sure whatever you do that you come up with an emergency communications plan beforehand.

2	Unbelievable: Trump And Romney Take MASSIVE Shots At Each Other Mitt Romney has been firing attack after attack on social media. Finally Trump has taken a stand for himself. Appearing on State of the Union Sunday, Romney told CNNs Jake Tapper that Trumps campaign has gone a lot further than expected, and that he doesnt believe that Trump is going to be the nominee. Trump would have none of it, and as expected, came out swinging, tweeting that Romney can only speak negatively about my presidential chances because I have been openly hard on his terrible choke loss to Obama! This isnt the first time the two have tangled. Romney and his friends have been mounting a full court press against Trump since September. Romney seems to prefer career politicians to Trump, and suggested that governors Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, or John Kasich would make strong nominees, calling them amazing individuals. Someone needs to tell Romney that his choices arent doing so well in the polls. Bizpac Review Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2015 Donald J.

1	According to a new study published Monday by zoologists at Auburn University, the neurological framework of an ape is in fact incredibly close to that of a human being who is obsessed with bananas. Though their brain size and specific cerebral functions differ, apes share a striking and uncanny common neurological bond with humans who spend the vast majority of their waking life thinking about bananas, said lead researcher Dr. Leonard Franklin, adding that the pleasure center in the frontal cortex of both a banana-obsessed human and an ape light up almost identically at the mere sight of even a picture of a ripe, yellow banana. While we had always guessed that there was a strong similarity in the brain activity of the average adult ape and the average human being who maniacally covets bananas all day, every day, these results go far beyond our earlier assumptions. You can clearly see the stark similarities when you present either with an actual banana. In both cases, their pupils will swiftly dilate, they will emit an excited grunting sound, and they will wildly swat at the fruit in an attempt to grab and eat it. Its extraordinary. Franklin also speculated that humans share a close link with chimpanzees who are riddled with constant anxiety and depression. 
3	Rise in Antidepressant Prescriptions Followed by Increase in Extreme ViolenceBy Alex Pietrowski Is there alink between psychotropics, particularly antidepressants, and shocking acts of public violence? Over the last 25 years, the market for psychotropic drugs has exploded, especially in the category of antidepressants. In the US between the years 1989 and 1992, the number of prescriptions for antidepressants increased from 2.5 million to 33.2 million. Thats an increase of 1328%. As of mid 2014, over 41 million people in the US are taking antidepressants, includingthecommon brands Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa, Luvox, Wellbutrin, and others. Mass shootings in the US have also increased significantly, especially since the year 2000. From December 2000 to 2013, 1,043 people in the US were wounded or killed by active shooters attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area (excluding domestic violence and gang shootings). The FBI reports that between 2007 and 2013, on average there were 16.4 such shootings per year. Research continues to examine a possible link between antidepressants and violence. One study analyzed data collected by the US FDAs Adverse Event Reporting System, and it found that 1 out of 250 people taking Paxil or Prozac were involved in a violent episode, as illustrated in the supporting infographic below. Considering the number of anti-depressant prescriptions written each year, this would translate to over 150,000 drug-induced violent incidents. A TIME Magazine article, Top Ten Drugs Linked to Violence, references a study that identified which drugs are most commonly linked to violence, once again based on the FDAs Adverse Event Reporting System. Five of the top ten drugs linked to violent acts were antidepressants. Regulatory agencies have confirmed that antidepressants can have dangerous side-effects. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a non-profit mental health watchdog, compiled a list of warnings issued by regulatory drug agencies around the globe regarding antidepressant drugs. The warnings linked to violence include: Another regulatory group, the US FDAs MedWatch system, has reported 14,773 instances of psychiatric drugs causing violent side effects during the period of 2004 to 2012, with the top side effects being aggression, mania and homicidal ideation. The FDA estimates that less than 1% of all serious events are reported. For many, this is sufficient proof that psychiatric drugs are linked to acts of senseless violence, even though there has yet to be a genuineinvestigation into the issue. The role of Big Pharma in the proliferation of psychotropic drugs is an important factor here. In those pivotal growth years of the 1990s, the US pharmaceutical industry increased its spending on direct-to-customer advertising 20-fold, up to $1.3 billion annually by 1998. Lets not pretend that Big Pharma is trying to cure depression; these companies are in the business of creating life-long customers. Furthermore, from 1998 to 2014, Big Pharma spent nearly $2.9 billion on lobbying in the US more than any other industry. Pharmaceutical companies also doled out more than $15 million in contributions to political campaigns from 2013 to 2014. The public has been petitioning since 1991 for stronger oversight over antidepressants, including a plea to take drugs like Prozac off the market due to their dangerous side-effects. Is the overall approach towards mental health taken by the modern medical establishment flawed? Have we created a society where we place too much value on outer appearance and possessions, while forgetting to the importance of inner reflection and mental stability? Or is there a bigger plan in place to use mainstream media and toxic medical miracles to numb the human psyche so that we come to lack the compassion and empathy required to maintain a peaceful society, and look to authority for protection?

If you would look around the world and you have any spiritually interest in understanding it from this view, the power of control of this world is Satan and his demons. I know most people dont believe in evil spirits but what else could be responsible for making people do this kind of stupidity and murders and all the other crimes being committed. Mankind is totally corrupt, but its beyond his control and Satan is an evil existent whether people believe in him or not. What is CERN getting ready to unleash this month when they open a porthole to bring in some of these demons from the bottomless pit? God only Knows! I appreciate your view. I also think that there is an underlying cause that better explains what we see happening in the world today. I think that, aside from satan and his demons, that man left to indulge in himself, without restraint, has reached the bottom of the barrel and are led to do all kinds of strange things to accomplish whatever he/she may desire. Its interesting to note that children are not the only ones taking these meds. Also to note that these meds are being sought after and prescribed due to an apparent underlying problem that people have in their lives. The result People+Problem+meds=more problems. I have 2 friends that tried to kill themselves on the same night on anti depressants and several incidents in the past seeing people do things they normally wouldnt do on these drugs. The police must go crazy responding to these calls. I guess the psyops are working.they must be so proud of themselves. 
1	Researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine were hardly able to stifle their laughter Tuesday while administering a placebo to 25 patients participating in a single-blind trial of an experimental new emphysema drug. 'Did you see Participant No. 425? He was like, 'I think it's really working, Doc,'' Dr. Lewis Rodriguez said to a team of snickering pulmonary specialists. 'How gullible can you get? I can't believe those guys think they're actually getting CDDO-Im.' Although the trial is expected to run for two more months, Rodriguez told reporters that he almost could not wait to analyze the data, compile the results, publish the findings, and see the looks on their stupid faces. 
1	After several warnings to stop his fidgeting and keep quiet during the towns 9/11 memorial service, 6-year-old Caleb Goetz was sternly reminded by his mother that today is a sad day, sources confirmed this morning. Caleb, were sad today, so no more goofing around. Got it? said the boys mother, Hannah Goetz, in a sharp whisper, bending down to look the child in his eyes and tell him to stop running his Matchbox car up and down her pant leg and making engine noises with his mouth while the people at the podium were speaking into the microphone. Do you see all the peoples faces? Everyones sad. This is very sad, okay? If you cant stand still until they finish raising the flag and lighting the candles, then no Legends Of Chima later. You hear me? In a further effort to keep him from acting out, the boys mother then reportedly glared at him for the entire moment of silence. 
2	Muslim Ejected From Louisiana Mall After She Did THIS According to News Channel 25, The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on local, state and national law enforcement authorities to investigate a recent incident in which a Muslim woman was allegedly ejected from a Louisiana shopping mall for refusing a security guards demand to remove her religiously-mandated headscarf, or hijab. The Muslim woman was leaving the food court and was approached by the security hard who, allegedly told the older woman that she had two options: remove her headscarf or leave the mall. (The womans daughter-in-law was not wearing a headscarf.) The guard did not offer an explanation for his demand. During the long walk out of the mall, the guard reportedly followed the women and even called for back-up. What do you think? Was this an unreasonable question? 
1	MOUNTAIN VIEW, CAAfter years on the job, members of the Manilla Grill waitstaff reported Monday that they are tired of having sex with each other. Four members of the Manilla Grill waitstaff. 'I'm closing tonight, so I'll probably end up sleeping with [assistant manager] Robert [Stein],' waitress Katie Glenn said. 'A few months ago, I would've been excited. He's really cute, and [coworker] Lynette [Hardy] says he's a great lay, but now... I don't know. We have nothing in common, except that we're both working a double and neither of us can stand [manager] Dan Musket.' Glenn said workplace stress, youth, and access to the restaurant's tap beer contribute to the waitstaff couplings. 'When I first had sex with [hostess] Tracy [Ballucci], I thought she was the one,' waiter Kevin Cobb said. 'Two months later, I had sex with Katie, but I still had to work with Tracy. I should've learned my lesson when Tracy 'accidentally' threw away a shrimp scampi that was supposed to go to a 14-top. But it's a little too late now, since there's not a waitress left that I haven't slept with.' 'Oh, Kelly [Spencer]I haven't had sex with Kelly, yet,' Cobb added. 'Man, I'm not looking forward to that.' While most of the intercourse occurs off the premises, the waitstaff said they sometimes have sex with each other in the restaurant's storage areas. 'I don't know how much more of this I can take,' hostess Jill Stern said. 'I've gone through every waiter and even two waitresses. Maybe I should get a new job. I definitely need a change.' 'But there is the line cook,' Stern added. 'It might be fun to back him into the walk-in cooler and fuck his brains out. I've never had sex with anyone from the back of the house before. Kelly said it's pretty hot.' Stern listlessly observes Cobb bend over. Psychologist Dorian Ledin, an expert in workplace relationships, said the best way to solve the problems brought about by sleeping with too many coworkers is to find a new job. 'Jill would do best to follow her first impulse,' Ledin said. 'Quitting is the best way to break the cycle. This behavior is inhibiting her ability to forge permanent relationships. And it's also keeping her from refilling her customers' glasses of ice water.' Ledin said food-service employees may initially be disoriented when they start working at new locations, but after a short adjustment period, a new sense of purpose will often fill their lives. 'There is hope,' Ledin said. 'Many former waitstaff members go on to form long-term, monogamous relationships with people in fields such as telemarketing or hotel management.' Former Manilla Grill employee Greg Nelson agreed with Ledin's theory. 'Almost immediately after I quit, I got work at Loews Cinema,' said Nelson, who tendered his resignation in August 2004. 'That's where I met this totally hot usher. We've been going out, like, six weeks.' Nelson added, 'I went back to the bar at Manilla Grill last week, and I barely had anything to say to those people, much less a desire to have sex with them.' Regardless of the easy solution leaving offers, many waiters and waitresses try to modify their behavior by refraining from having sex with their coworkers. They report little success. 'When I left Pizzeria Prima, I had a motto: 'Don't get laid where you get paid,'' waiter Jack Dulles said. 'Then I started working at Manilla Grill. One night after a football-game rush, I wound up sleeping with Pat in what's turned into a three-month, eight-waitress binge. I keep telling my roommates it's the last time, but even I don't believe it anymore.' 
3	The Ellen Show Flu Shot FunBob Tuskin Recently on The Ellen Show, they administered a flu shot to one of her beloved production staff members. Andy always wanted a flu shot. Actually, lets call it what it really is, a flu VACCINE. Well, I guess Andy is not familiar with what comes with it. Ever hear of a neurotoxic ingredient called thimerosal? You many know it by its more common name: mercury. On top of that, there are several other quite compelling reasons not to get the flu vaccine. First, if you do get the flu vaccine, expect to get the flu. Evidence of this was reported in a study stating a significant positive association between the seasonal influenza vaccine and lab confirmed H1N1 was observed. [1] TV host Piers Morgan made a big deal on national television about getting his vaccine. He brought on TVs Doctor Oz to administer the mercury. Days later he got quite sick. And a quick aside Doctor Oz himself has been reported to publicly promote vaccines while behind the curtains he refrains from vaccinating himself or his children.

2	See What These States Are Doing To Ensure That Illegals Arent Housed There The border crisis has reached a disastrous level, and without government action, Americans and state governments are starting to suspect that the administration has a very specific goal: to force amnesty as the only option. With thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the border in the past few months, and the government shipping them to states around the country instead of deporting them, its hard to imagine that the administration has the American peoples interest at heart at all. State governments have had to take it upon themselves to protect their local communities, but the economic burden of caring for the new bodies is not an easy one to bear. In fact, several states are deciding to push back on the government, and refuse the housing of any illegal immigrants in the state. Massachusetts is the most recent state to be vocal about the issue. According to My Fox Boston, Governor Deval Patrick has decided that housing units are no longer needed. Many suspect that his statements are due to pressure from local government officials, who understood that the federal government had very little chance of reimbursing the bill. State Representative Randy Hunt claimed that shipping illegal immigrants across the country and housing them was a terrible use of tax dollars. It appears that vocal opposition from local governments may be exactly what we need to push the administration to actionbefore they do the same to the American people. 
1	Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency restated Thursday its commitment to the fight against terrorism, pledging full cooperation with U.S. forces during the upcoming strike on an al-Qaeda safe house on June 12 at 5:23 a.m. near the small town of Razmani in the remote tribal region of North Waziristan. At a hastily convened press conference, ISI chief Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha called Pakistan's long- standing partnership with the United States 'stronger than ever,' explaining that both countries share an interest in rooting out al-Qaeda before its leaders have time to gather their secret cache of hidden weapons and move to a new location, possibly a tribal area in northwest Pakistan where Pasha said U.S. intelligence is limited in both its sophistication and reach. 'Make no mistake, Pakistan stands shoulder to shoulder with our American allies in hunting down those who threaten our national security,' said Pasha, circling the exact location of the safe house on a large satellite photo of the town. 'And we will show no mercy in targeting them, whether it be on the battlefield or, perhaps, in a bunker where the walls are thicker and offer better protection from Predator drone attacks.' 'These are highly dangerous men,' he continued, 'who will be taken out at 5:23 a.m. I repeat: The strike begins at 5:23 a.m.' Pasha emphasized the ISI's extensive integration with U.S. forces in planning the attack, saying that the specific time was agreed upon to ensure the terrorists wouldn't try to escape across the porous Afghan border, which he noted is often poorly guardedespecially near the town of Shirhaniat that hour of the morning. Pasha added that the drones would be coming from the west, targeting the main part of the compound where al-Qaeda operatives would likely be sleeping and not loading all laptops, assault rifles, sensitive documents detailing plans for future attacks, and shoulder-to-air missile launchers into pickup trucks and fleeing as quickly as possible. In addition, Pasha thanked American CIA operative Aban Changwani, who he said has been working undercover for quite some time. Pasha confirmed that because Changwani had grown a beard to blend in with al-Qaeda members, he more than likely looked different than the picture currently being shown to reporters. 'Throughout the mission, we will be in constant contact with American commanders, providing up-to-the minute intelligence assessments and information on enemy movements,' Pasha said. 'As the strike unfolds, real-time updates will be transmitted to them via UHF frequency 11.2535.' Added Pasha, 'We've also changed the code words we use with the Americans, which is vital to our overall communications strategy.' Specifically, he explained unprompted, Tango, Thunderclap, Pinnacle, Bourbon, Serum, Flinch, Rotary, Wigwam, Crimson, Notebook, and Cask have been replaced by Backpack, Brunette, Icicle, Hallway, Cyclone, Archer, Mustang, Cabin, Velvet, Gambler, Foothold, and Brick. Pasha said that in addition to U.S. Apache helicopters circling Razmani to prevent the escape of any terrorist operatives, the ISI would be setting up extensive checkpoints on all roads leading north, south, and west out of the town 'I know if I were a member of al-Qaeda, I'd want to cover my tracks very carefully,' Pasha said. 'Because any evidence that hasn't been carted away through the back alley near the market will be turned over to U.S. special forces, who will arrive approximately one hour later and will have full access to the site.' 'And what I definitely wouldn't do is try to escape to one of the other safe houses in town, since the Americans already have them under surveillance, and have been watching them for quite some time,' he added. CIA director Leon Panetta praised Lt. Gen. Pasha's announcement, calling his ISI counterpart an indispensable ally in the ongoing fight against terrorism. 'We've certainly had our differences, but I appreciate the candidness and transparency he brings to our joint operations,' Panetta said. 'Though there may be some elements within his organization sympathetic to al- Qaeda, I know we have a trustworthy partner at the head of the ISI.' As of press time, the U.S. has given Pakistan more than $20 billion in aid since Sept. 11, 2001. 
3	Surviving on the Battlefield in the Information WarBy Tony Cartalucci But above all, people must personally dedicate themselves to following the truth no matter where it brings them, having the courage to accept a reality that may not necessarily mesh with their current perception. The inability to do this will render moot all other means of determining the veracity of any given report or piece of analysis. This is fundamental. When anyone, anywhere makes a claim, whether it is in a historical documentary or book, or regarding current events, one must find the original source. Where did this information come from? Is it a direct quote? If so, can this quote be verified? If the quote is alleged or leaked or otherwise second-hand information or the sources never revealed, it is impossible to verify and therefore impossible to consider as verified. Often conversations relayed by second-hand sources serve as the basis of propaganda. It is essentially the process of placing words into the mouths of people who never said anything of the sort. Media that repeatedly uses quotes that are impossible to verify may be engaged in disinformation. If the quote is confirmed, that alone does not mean that what was said was true. It simply means that someone made a statement the veracity of which must be determined through other means. Finding the source of a claim often helps shatter long-held myths. This is particularly true in regards to historical matters. All protests, political movements, and armed struggles require immense amounts of resources to start, perpetuate, and most importantly to succeed. They also require leadership. If one finds themselves reading reports of events that do not mention funding or the names of specific leaders, either those reporting on the events dont have these facts and should make note that such information is both missing and essential to find, or misdirection and disinformation is at play. Omitting these facts has been done intentionally across the Western media to obfuscate Western involvement particularly in political uprisings and armed rebellions that are made to appear spontaneous and indigenous but are in fact long-planned, foreign-backed conspiracies. The so-called Arab Spring is perhaps the most notorious example of this, where the Western media failed intentionally and repeatedly to identify the funding and individuals involved in both street protests and subsequent armed attacks on security agencies across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Had the public carefully read through reports, and followed the money, they would have found a combination of US State Department money and the Anglo-American-backed Muslim Brotherhood behind each and every uprising across the Middle East, with Al Qaeda forming the subsequent armed groups that overran Libya and are currently leading attempts to overthrow the government of Syria. There are media reports, government press releases, op-eds, analysis, and policy papers of every kind. Many times, these various sources contradict each other. How does one go about determining which is true and which is disinformation? It is quite simple, dont simply listen to what reporters, analysts, and policymakers say, look at what they and those they have influence over are doing. The United States claims that it is fighting the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria. However, if we follow the money and realize that it is impossible for ISIS to sustain its fighting capacity within Syria or Iraq alone, and requires an immense amount of resources from abroad to continue its operations, we realize those resources are undoubtedly passing through territory the US and its allies in fact control. That the US is not interdicting these vital supplies, including additional fighters, weapons, and cash, is proof that claims in the media and amid government press releases that the US is fighting ISIS are false. Conversely, in veteran journalist Seymour Hershs 2007 New Yorker article, The Redirection, he stated explicitly, citing US and Saudi officials, that the West and its regional allies planned to use sectarian extremists affiliated with Al Qaeda to wage a regional proxy war against Syria and Iran. This also so happens to be precisely what is now playing out across the MENA region. Hershs analysis can be tracked down through his sources, by following the money as only state sponsorship can explain Al Qaeda and ISIS fighting capacity in Syria, Iraq, and beyond and by simply looking at what is now unfolding across the region. None of what the current corporate media or government press releases say can be verified in a similar manner; and, certainly, none of what is said by the West currently, matches what is actually happening on the ground. Finally, let us consider policy papers released by corporate-funded think tanks like the Brookings Institution. Such policy papers have repeatedly laid out plans for arming extremists, incrementally invading and occupying Syria, and eventually toppling the Syrian government. This too, is precisely what we see happening on the ground, though the Western media and Western representatives claim the cause is not a premeditated Western conspiracy, but a series of coincidences and unfortunate turns of fate. The truth is hard to arrive at, not only because people intentionally seek to fool others, but because often, many unintentionally fool themselves. Reality can be unpleasant. Watching a nation be destroyed can be heartbreaking, and the desire to insulate oneself from the pain through cognitive dissonance can be overwhelming. However, one of the greatest maxims in human conflict is to truly know yourself and know your enemy. Truth isnt just a matter of virtue, it is a factor that will make the difference between victory and defeat. If victory over the forces of greed and hegemony is truly our goal, then we must face the facts no matter how unpleasant. Our failure to do so will cost us everything and those driven by greed and hegemony know. That is why they have invested so much in clouding reality and obfuscating the truth. We must invest more in seeing through this clouded reality, and discover the truth, no matter how unpleasant. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook. I agree with much of what has been laid out in this article. Just look at what religions have done for centuries hiding the truth through faith based informational control. Whole junk belief systems have been generating thousands of years worth of a false reality; then add concepts like junk science to the mix. Corporations are allowed to lie to US in order to protect and promote their products, the FCC allows advertisers to straight out lie free from prosecution. The public is always getting the short in of the stick. Even some of the alternative media is nothing more than cubical journalism checking sources like Wikipedia is also questionable when doing research. Wow, being censored (again) for an incredibly innocent, non-controversial comment! Maybe its cos I used the shocking word s**t? Its amazing how much bad stuff could be prevented by a simple minded war Yippy! Figured out one rule ps You know its really childish to mindlessly ban common words. So basically turn the boob tube off and make up your own mind. 
2	Hillary Clinton Shows Up In Texas, Practically No One Comes To Greet Her When Hillary Clinton made the trip to Beaumont, Texas, she probably didnt foresee this. In fact, Clinton was probably expecting to get off the plane and walk into a crowd of hundreds of screaming fans and supporters. Instead, she de-boarded to a crowd of six. According to the IJ Review, Clinton was so humiliated by the turnout that she refused to pose for photos or even acknowledge the six fans that did show up. Instead, she headed straight to her car and raced away to a private fundraiser. She didnt say hello or visit with anyone while at the airport, a KFDM reporter on the scene stated. Although the fundraiser was a success for Clinton, and she was able to raise $500,000 for her campaign, her reception doesnt bode well for election time. The event was reportedly organized by Pakistani businessman Tahir Javed. Youd think that Hillary would be grateful that six people are still willing to stand behind a criminalbut apparently not. 
1	Saying that she had given the decision considerable thought, local high school senior Katie Simmons told reporters Monday that she would be applying to Bristol College, a school where her family had donated funds for a new 50,000-square-foot library. There are so many great choices out there, but I feel like I should at least consider Bristol, said the 17-year-old, noting that while she would like to go somewhere that has a strong academic reputation and a vibrant social scene, it couldnt hurt to apply to the institution where her family handed over the largest single gift in the schools history to construct a new state-of-the-art library and digital media center. Bristols a pretty good school, and I could definitely picture myself there, so I guess theres no harm in filling out the application, right? Simmons added that she was keeping her options open by also applying to the school whose president plays golf with her dad once a month.

According to reports, Noceras gaze remained fixated on the top of the building as a flood of images fromum, yeahraced through his head. Sources indicated that upon seeing a commercial airliner seemingly fly past the skyscraper, he briefly imagined exactly what you assume he imagined. At press time, Nocera reportedly sighed, shook his head, and went about the rest of his day. 
2	Italy Prime Minister Spends $1 Billion In Ingenious Act Of Defiance Against ISIS Italy has just stepped up by funneling $2 Billion into the fight against ISIS. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi proposed this plan to put $1 billion into security, and another billion into strengthening culture. ISIS main goal is to cause chaos, panic, and destroy culture. Renzi argues that one of the best ways to fight against this is to strengthen the aspects that make Western culture so great. ISIS thrives on ignorance. If we can combat that with culture, education, and unity, ISIS will be no match. If anything, this is a good test for the U.S. to observe, and potentially add another weapon to its arsenal. Do you think this program will be successful? 
1	In response to accusations that his policies are hurting the game of football, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell told CBSs Face the Nation Sunday that he would have no problem letting his own son ruin the sport. If my son wanted to make a series of catastrophic rule changes that destroy everything people enjoy about football, theres no question: Yes, I would let him do that, said Goodell, who argued that the value of defiling an American tradition far outweighs the risk of public backlash. I myself have been ruining football for almost seven years, and nothing in my life has been more rewarding. I certainly would want my son to have the same opportunity to mangle and dilute the game that I did. Goodell added that, unfortunately, his two children are both girls, which means neither can ever be NFL commissioner. 
3	ISIS 2.0 Meet the New Extremist Group the CIA is Paying to Kill Innocent Civilians in AfghanistanBy Justin Gardner In the 1980s the CIA armed and trained mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan during Americas cold war with Russia, and these Islamic militants went on to become al-Qaida, the premier terror threat to the US. Several years ago, the Pentagon began supporting opposition forces in Syria, including a group known as the Salafists, to further the US goal of taking out the Assad government. The Pentagon expressed its desire for Islamic militants to establish a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria. These violent fundamentalists morphed into ISIS, the current terror group spreading death and fear in the region and now across the world. Back in Afghanistan, amid talk of US military drawdowns, the American military has nurtured one Afghan paramilitary group that is being accused of civilian killings, torture, questionable detentions, arbitrary arrests and use of excessive force in controversial night raids. The Khost Protection Force (KPF) is a highly secretive collection of local Afghans used to fight a shadow war in eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani tribal region and Taliban stronghold. They were lured into the proxy service of the CIA with promises of better pay, equipment and conditions than the Afghan army. And just like the CIA, they enjoy virtual immunity. In Khost, the KPF is more influential than the Afghan army and police, and unaccountable to the provincial government, often acting outside normal chains of command. Locally, militias such as the KPF are called campaign forces, an informal name Afghans use for pro-government armed groups. The Washington Post interviewed witnesses of six separate attacks by the militia in the past year, as well as court documents in the only known legal case filed against the unit, after one or more of its men shot dead a 14-year-old boy. Three former commanders of the unit, known as the KPF, tribal elders, lawmakers, lawyers, activists and local government officials with direct knowledge of the force and the CIAs role were also interviewed. One man described how the KPF shot his father dead as he opened the gate to their home, then threw a grenade inside which killed his mother. The farmer and housewife were supposedly mistaken for others who were suspected of trafficking guns. Several other accounts tell of English being spoken by armed men who had translators with them, suggesting American operatives were present during assaults where extreme force was used. According to sources, the CIA still directs KPF operations, pays salaries, and provides training and equipment. CIA operatives will travel with the KPF during raids, ready to call in warplane or drone strikes. While US and Afghan spokespersons praise the KPF as being essential to the fight against the Taliban, local residents are growing more outraged by the killings of their friends and family by US proxy fighters. Hundreds protested last month in the streets of Khost City, marching toward Camp Chapman with the bodies of two civilians killed by the KPF. Death to Americans, they chanted. Death to American slaves. The juggernaut of US imperialism continues unabated in the Middle East. Funding and arming paramilitary forces is an essential part of the strategy to maintain control of the region, yet it simultaneously breeds the hatred that fuels terrorism. However, this plays right into the hands of puppet masters and the military-industrial complex, for it guarantees the continued existence of a bogeyman, which perpetuates the necessary fear in the populace while feeding the profits of those making bombs and bullets. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com US imperialism? Its the globalist international banksters finishing their New Middle East project for global technocratic governance and sowing chaos in the west to seed the NWO military police force. Secure Cities Network is just one facet among many. These limited hangouts = B grade movies and soap operas. P.S. Washington Post has long been a CIA stronghold and still is, now under Bezos. Whats the reporting agenda or spin? 100% Im sure they have their own mercenary hit squads brought on by the gold collar scum that have bought off DeCeipt. Barry wouldnt be able to fight his way out of a wet paper bag. BTW: a good read Barry and the boys D. Hopsicker. 
3	17 California Towns Will Run Out of Water in the Next 60 to 120 daysChris Carrington Wells are starting to run dryand reservoir levels are low as the state faces the worst drought in almost a century. The number of vulnerable communities is expected to increase over the coming weeks and months, and the list will be updated weekly said Dave Mazzera, acting drinking water division chief for the California Department of Public Health. Lompico is one of the affected areas. We have been unable to take water out of the creek since August and well production is down, and we didnt have that much water to begin with. said Lois Henry from the Lompico water board. She is certain the district will soon have to truck in water. Cloverdale has already seen the implementation of mandatory 25% rationing and a ban on lawn watering. Its very likely that more mandatory cut backs will follow. Source Chris Carrington is a writer, researcher and lecturer with a background in science, technology and environmental studies.

2	Active Duty Soldier BLASTS Obama For This SICKENING Reason [VIDEO] In order to build awareness about why suicide is increasing in the military, one active duty solider posted a passionate video. He also criticized the government for doing virtually nothing about it. The reasons the soldiers are killing themselves is cuz youre sending them away to unlivable , undeclared warsand when they get back, what do you do? he asks rhetorically. Ah, you give them five bottles of pills. What do these five bottles of pills have as a side effect? Suicide. No one wants to f***ing talk about that in the military, he continued. Its all f***ing money. They dont give a sh*t abou you. They dont. What do you think of this soldiers comments? Do you agree that our men and women in uniform arent getting the respect and support they deserve for risking their lives to keep our country safe? 
2	Black Pastor Takes Stage At Trump Event, Crowds Response Is Explosive [VIDEO] According to reports, audience members at a rally for Donald Trump in Cleveland on Saturday erupted with excitement when a well-known black pastor took the stage to introduce and endorse the legendary businessman. His speech began by recounting this first time he met Trump, long before he was the GOP frontrunner. To be honest, I went in to the meeting somewhat prejudicially, the Rev. Darrell Scott of New Spirit Revival Center Ministries confessed. I went in with an opinion of him that had been formed through media portrayal. It didnt take long for that perception to change drastically. I found Mr. Trump not only to be very gracious and very hospitable, but I also found him to be a very humble man, Scott explained. And he is very respectful of clergy. The pastor then went on to urge the audience to shape their own opinions based on their perceptions, instead of what the liberal media is telling them to think. He added that the room was full of smart, intelligent people and independent thinkers. We know what we are doing, we know what we see, and the truth is that the Democratic Party has drifted further and further away from the traditional values that made our country great in the first place, Scott argued. In only nine minutes, he was able to articulate and refute every lie that has been told about the GOP frontrunner. He also demonstrated that claims about Trump being a racist and bigot are inherently false. What do you think about his speech? 
1	If you're single, there's never been a better time to look for someone special. Dating standards are at record lows, which means it's a daters market! Here are a few tips on how to meet a romantic partner with the new lower dating standards: 1) Go up to anyone, wherever you are, whatever they look like, and introduce yourself. When standards were higher, daters were forced to assess whether a potential partner was good enough for them, but those days are gone. 2) Strike up a conversation. If the person doesn't speak English or speak at all, try to listen to his or her body language. 3) Find something you two have in common. Even if it's just that you both breathe, talk about that. 4) Start to flirt. If you're not quite ready to make physical contact with this person because he or she's twitching uncontrollably or covered in scabs, just flash him or her a coy smile. 5) Make up an excuse to meet up again. Tell your potential mate that you have to go to a parole meeting next Tuesday, too, or that youll be at the methadone Thursday as well. 7) Dress for success. Or don't, because it doesn't matter now that the standards have been lowered. Wear your sweats out to dinner if you want because its possible your date will be wearing a t-shirt and no bottoms. 8) Have an open mind. Remember, there are no deal breakers anymore. If your new partner has an elementary school education, an STD, a penchant for lying, or a collection of pet scorpions, remember its our differences that make us all special. Good luck out there and let the romance begin! 
2	Michelle Obama Ruins Halloween For Kids Around The Nation... This Is Terrible Michelle Obama seems to have a knack for running things. For years now, she has received backlash for her punitive dietary requirements for children in this country. Now, thanks to Federal mandates, the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs office announced that it would hold a Halloween parade on Friday for children of employees, but would not be permitting any candy or sweets to be handed out to children. Instead, the VA said the day care center in the office has joined First Lady Michelle Obamas Lets Move Program and children should be given things other than candy on the holiday. Please help us teach our children to make healthy food choices! the VA said in an email to employees. If you would like to hand out treats during the parade, please give healthy snacks such as pretzels, raisins, granola bars and slice apples. NO CANDY PLEASE! The email also suggested bringing gifts like pencils, crayons and rings instead of snacks. Sounds appetizing, doesnt it? We cant say were surprised, though. Michelle Obama has already banned tic tacs and birthday cakes in schools. What do you think? Should children be allowed to enjoy candy on Halloween? 
3	Victoria, Australia Smart Meters Health Damages Case Study Published and What to Know to Protect YourselfBy Catherine J Frompovich First and foremost, what needs to be pointed out is what is stated in the Conclusion of a published paper titled Self-reporting of symptom development from exposure to radiofrequency fields of wireless smart meters in Victoria, Australia: a case series posted at PubMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health: Interestingly, the vast majority of Victorian cases did not state that they had been sufferers of electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome (EHS) prior to exposure to the wireless meters, which points to the possibility that smart meters may have unique characteristics that lower peoples threshold for symptom development. 1 What were the findings of that study? According to the Abstract, The most frequently reported symptoms from exposure to smart meters were (1) insomnia, (2) headaches, (3) tinnitus, (4) fatigue, (5) cognitive disturbances, (6) dysesthesias (abnormal sensation), and (7) dizziness. The effects of these symptoms on peoples lives were significant. 1 The above study was published at the end of 2014. I find it rather interesting that The Chattanoogan.com online published an Opinion piece regarding the FTCs ruling regarding Smart Meters: The Federal Communication Commission has ruled that smart meters are safe based on their studies of thermal exposure. However, smart meters emit non-thermal radiation which is much higher in power density and more harmful than thermal emissions. Because of the risks they pose, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine has called for a moratorium on smart meter installation until the serious public health issues can be resolved. 2 Those safe thermal exposure studies, according to my research, were done over 50 years ago! It is now 2016 and if the FTC were smart, they wouldnt be promoting antiquated information, I offer. According to a report dated June 29, 2012, and presented to the Michigan Public Service Commission 3, 17,000 customers filed complaints about Smart Meters. The second highest percentage of complaints filed was health concerns77 percent, while the highest percentage was about Opt-out/Deny Install with 84 percent! Utility consumers/customers everywhere, just not in Michigan, are complaining about having a technology forced on them and onto their homes, and still Smart Meters are figuratively being shoved down their throats, often with harassment techniques used by utilities, as in Pennsylvania by PECO, an Exelon Company. In 2011, The New York Times reported, Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have found that less than an hour of cellphone use can speed up brain activity raising new questions about the health effects of low levels of radiation emitted from cellphones. 4 Cell phones and Smart Meters operate using microwaves! The bold-faced truth about Smart Meter microwave emissionslive cell phones, toois that EMFs are constant: 24/7/365! However, you cant turn off your Smart Meter like you can your cell phone, plus most people dont use a cell phone 24/7/365, and you should not wear a live cell phone on your body, i.e., in the bra, on the belt or in pants pocket, especially for men. In the Smart Meter EMF monitoring testing that I witnessed, an AMI Smart Meter emitted very high pulses every 15 seconds, so how often is that in an hour? Four (4) high-spike frequency EMFs/RFs are emitted every minute. Two hundred forty (240) high frequency EMFs/RFs emitted every hour; 5,760 high frequency EMFs/RFs, every 24 hour day; 40,320 high frequency EMFs/RFs, every 7 days or 1 week; 2,102,400 high-spike frequency EMFs/RFs, every 365 days. That goes on year after year, too! If you want to check out for yourself how to measure the high-spike frequency EMFs/RFs emitting from your Smart Meter, theres a device you can purchase called the Cornet ED 78S RF/LF Electrosmog Meter (hand held) $139.95 It will measure RF/LF frequencies coming off Smart Meters, cell towers, phones and appliances. Log your Smart Meters high-spike EMF/RF reading numbers/information: date, time and numbers, and send that log to your state utility commission and demand relief, as you are entitled to safe service from your utility company, as most utilities have providing safe services as part of their mission statement. 1k+ Hz coming over 60 Hz-designed electric wiring definitely is NOT safe! Dont forget to keep a copy of that log for your records. How long do you think your brain and body can stand being zapped without adverse health effects, when those high frequency spikesalso known as dirty electricityare running through the electrical wiring in your home? DE [dirty electricity] consists of high frequency electrical noise of 1000 Hz (1 kHz) and upwards that has become superimposed on your [60 Hz] wires. 10 According to EMFs.com: When AC power has a clean 60 Hz sine wave, it does not emit EMF in the higher frequency bands such as radio frequencies. This is because the frequency is low. But when the normal sine wave is polluted or dirtied by transients and harmonics, you now have a jagged, irregular and altered wave pattern. Instead of a regular 50 or 60 Hz current, your electricity is now a wildly fluctuating current with high-frequency voltage spikes and irregular high-frequency patterns riding on all of the wires in your home. This high frequency noise then causes the wires to radiate high-frequency electromagnetic and radio frequency fields. [.] Recent evidence suggests that dirty electricity may be carcinogenic and harmful to health. In a 2008 report, Milham and Morgan analyzed the effects of high amounts of dirty electricity in a school. They found that exposure to dirty electricity increased the risk that a teacher would developer cancer by 64%, and a single year of employment at this school increased a teachers cancer risk by 21%. 5,6 What can cause dirty electricity in your home? According to Protect Your Family From EMF Analysis 7 What can parents expect for their childrens health 8,9, since kids are more vulnerable to EMFs/RFs because of their smaller body sizes? Kids routinely are exposed to Wi-Fi in schools. Smart Meters and other smart appliances emit EMFs/RFs at home. Check out how much your appliances give off here and, hopefully, with a measuring device in your home.

3	Record 95,102,000 Americans Not In Labor Force; Unemployment Rate More Like 30%By Joseph Jankowski The U3 unemployment rate, which is one of 6 ways the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates the amount of people out of work, is defined as the total unemployed, as a percent of the civilian labor force. This is the 4.7% number which came out today and the statistic that soon-to-be former President Barrack Obama has boasted so proudly over. You remember this, right? Obama: I took an economy that was about to go into a Great Depression, and weve now had a little over six years of straight economic job growth, an unemployment rate thats down below 5 percent, and incomes that have gone up and poverty that has gone down. Well, today we found out thata record number of Americans are not in the labor force and are not even looking for a job, the same way it was when Obama first stepped into office. The final jobs report of Obamas presidency revealed that the number of Americans not in the labor force has increased by 14,573,000 (18.09 percent) since January 2009. In December, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a record 95,102,000 Americans were not in the labor force, 47,000 more than in November. Hmmm.. They said the unemployment rate was 4.7%! How can that be! The U.S. population is only about 325,340,300 people! As explained above, the official number only calculates the number of unemployed persons as a percent of the civilian labor force. So, lets now take the amount of folks who are not in the labor force and get the percentage of the population that this group accounts for. (Ill use a calculator just so I know Obama never lied to me!) *GASP The reality of the unemployment situation inside the U.S. is much more grim than any politician or bureaucrat would ever want to admit. And just to highlight how bad the situation is, those people counted as not in the labor force qualify to be a part of that statistic because they are no longer looking for work. It is unrevealing statistics like the U3 unemployment rate that allows politicians to grandstand and pose as your leader. Joseph Jankowski is a contributor for PlanetFreeWill.com, where this article first appeared. His works have been published by recognizable alternative news sites like GlobalResearch.ca, selfnewsPost.com, PrisonPlanet.com andZeroHedge.com. FollowPlanet Free Will onTwitter@twitter.com/PlanetFreeWill Subscribe to our newsletter The Information Leak What? Did they lie to us? Tell me its not so. The number of people not in the labor force includes children, elderly, medically unable etc. An out of work five year old is not a relevant statistic. No. Its Adults. However, it does include the elderly and disabled. This statistic has been around for months, Ive always read that it is 95M between 18 and 65 years of age. This article FAILS to mention that as you correctly noticed. An out of work five year old is a relevant statistic to whomever has to feed, clothe, and house him or her. When the overall numbers indicate that, overall, on average in America, one person must provide for the survival of three individuals, numbers like these are very relevant. When young people are encouraged to incur education debt, then graduate and find no jobs available, when working people are advised to save for retirement while being warned that the pensions, 401ks, and SS benefits theyre paying for now wont be there by the time they retire, these overall numbers are very relevant. Thats not news. If you look at numbers you can see, thats is not right. I have comment this problem for years. But nobody, have don anything about it. Glad thats somthing about it. So the 29.23 stat would include children. o-14= 19.4% and 65+=14.4% so old and young is 33.8% So that leaves 215 million people. Just over 1/3 of the entire US population is actually working. The figures quoted in this article are just as meaningless as the dodgy govt stats. As other commenters have noted, its pointless measuring unemployment against the overall population. The meaningful number is found by measuring the rise or decline in workforce participation numbers. Do you have those stats handy? For an article on the topic of govt lies, damn lies and stats to be so misleading itself is utterly disingenuous. Lift you game Joe or boot off. In fact Joe, I just checked those stats and the REAL underlying unemployment rate is actually quite clearly stated as U6, which is currently 9.2%. That sounds pretty spot on to me. Obviously some regions and demographic groups would have a much higher unemployment rate. So youve deliberately ignored the stats provided in order to give a slanted take on government dishonesty. How ironic. Stop working for the fascist corporations. Please Think! I would randomly guess that millions do construction for cash, millions clean houses for cash, millions grow weed for cash, and thousands of other jobs are done for cash- lawn mowing, firewood, window cleaning, farm labor, bar bouncers, bike messengers, barbers, snow plowing, tree work, irrigation, In a sane and fair economic system this would not be necessary, but please note: When you say, Some level of cash work is beneficialto keep [the] pooretc. afloat, alive, out of crime that this is itself considered criminal. Unreported barter and cash are illegal under IRS tax laws, and if audited and caught you can be fined and/or jailed for engaging in this nefarious activity. As for your guesstimate numbers, theyre probably fairly close to reality (closer, anyway, than any bogus official ones). It stands to reason that nearly 30% of those not in the work force arent all living off their copious savings, or eating out of dumpsters and sleeping under bridgesalthough God knows millions in this great and prosperous land are, and have been since before the Bush II era of peace and plenty. The article also fails in that it does not subtract kids and retirees from the 325M population, which I missed in my calc., which further lowers unemployment rates. Still a record 95M able bodied between 16 65 not participating is a new record, albeit with the largest population ever. So statistically %of pop. of able working age non participants would be a more clear figure to compare. Lies, damned lies, and statistics. You certainly got that right, and whatever moving-target statistics our well-fed richly-dressed multi-millionaire lying leaders present us with, you cant feed and clothe your children and parents on statisticseven older folks who PLANNED for their retirement didnt figure on being ripped off for their pensions, 401ks, Blue Chip and fixed income stocks, and all those years of paying into Social Security. They are told there will be no (or negligible) Cost of Living increases, because everything costs the same as it did last yearand the year before! On Mars, perhaps this is true, or whatever planet our selected leaders come from. Just not at our local supermarkets and gas stations, clothing stores and school-supply outlets. Certainly not according to our local tax assessors, doctors, and insurance agents. The cost of living is only the same if you switch from the occasional steak to 80% lean hamburger, from new cars to pre-owned, from air conditioning to swamp coolers, and send your kids to a community college or trade school (if their Common Core education even permits them to make the grade for it). The bottom line is: America needs real jobs commensurate with Americas actual needs on a national level, and those jobs just arent here anymore. Much of the time were now living on processed food out of cans, and we dont even make our own can openers anymore. Were being told Americans just dont want to work in factories, were so fat and happywell, except our kitchen can openers dont work very well and dont last very long before we have to run down to the Great Walmart-of-China for a new onethe one my parents inherited from my grandparents lasted my entire childhoodsame as our toaster, our refrigerator, our washer and dryer. American made stuff, it cost more, lasted decades. Now even if theyre assembled in America, theyre built out of foreign parts, engineered to hold up for 366.5 days (on a 1-year warranty), and THAT is what Made-in-America companies have to compete with (which is why even if you DO buy American, you get crap). The bottom line is, whatever the statistics are twisted to say, Americans cant fend for themselves anymore, on virtually any level definable. 325M pop., 40M retirees, 70M under 18; 325M 70+40 (110) = 215M age 18-65. This cannot end well, maybe I should be a prepper? This is pretty much common knowledge now. 
2	Parents Get Their Kids To Burn American Flags During Mckinney Protest And Then THIS Happens [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a group of parents in McKinney, Texas have been teaching their children to burn the American flag. The action is supposed to be in protest over police brutality. The incident discussed is clearly a controversial oneand both the left and right can agree that the cop shown makes some serious errorsbut his actions can hardly be considered brutality. And some have argued that he had a right to defend himself. Now, it seems like liberals are protesting any type of police action. When is it justified for a police officer to defend themselves? It seems like were only allowing for a fraction of a second, until a cop is absolutely certain their life is in danger. Seems a little late, doesnt it? And in any case, flag burning is blatant disrespect to our country and everything it stands for. What do you think of these parents actions? Should they be punished to the full extent of the law? 
1	Jeffrey Riesman, 29, an account manager at Tri-Trust Insurance, has spent the last 10 years satisfying desires not sufficiently fulfilled during childhood, sources reported Tuesday. Taking a break from his Atari 2600, Riesman enjoys a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. 'I just bought a mint-in-box Six Million Dollar Man Bionic Transport and Repair Station off eBay for just under $100,' Riesman said Tuesday. 'All I need is an Oscar Goldman, and I'll have the complete Bionic toy series.' According to roommate Nate Kenniff, 28, Riesman's need to indulge childhood desires is reflected in everything from his toy collection to his diet. 'We tried shopping for groceries together when I first moved in, but that didn't work,' Kenniff said. 'He'll go to Costco and buy box after box of Fruity Pebbles, Boo Berry, and Quisp. Whenever I suggest we get some Wheat Chex or something a little less sweet, he just rolls his eyes and calls my cereal choices 'lame.'' Kenniff said Riesman spends an average of six hours a night watching TV. 'I like TV as much as the next guy, but Jeff takes it to extremes,' Kenniff said. 'And it's not like he's watching quality stuff. He'll stay up for an all-night Scooby Doo marathon. Have you tried watching Scooby Doo lately? It's not as good as you might remember it.' Riesman also owns more than 500 DVDs, many of which are collections of cartoons he loved as a boy or such forbidden films from his adolescence as Porky's, Private School, and Hot Resort. When Riesman isn't watching TV or DVDs, he's usually playing one of the 200-plus games he has purchased for his vintage Atari 2600 game console. 'I had Atari when I was a kid, but my mom always made me wait until I was done with my homework to play,' Riesman said. 'Now, as soon as I come home from the office, I can settle in and play Yars' Revenge until dawn, and she can't say anything about it.' Added Riesman: 'I'm thinking about picking up a second game system, like maybe a Colecovision or Intellivision. Why not? They're only like 50 bucks. I make almost $30,000 a year. Why deprive myself?' Another area in which Riesman's youthful indulgence manifests itself is his bedtime. Despite having a job that requires him to be at the office at 8 a.m., he refuses to go to sleep before 3. 'When Jeff and I were living together, he'd always stay up way after I went to sleep,' said Carla Green, Riesman's ex-girlfriend. 'I'd say 'Come to bed,' and he'd always snap back that he's an adult and can stay up as late as he wants. I have no clue what that was about.' According to noted psychotherapist Dr. Howard Blum, Riesman suffers from a condition known as Chronic Unfulfilled Desire Syndrome, which affects a person's ability to let go of childhood fixations and embrace maturity. 'Some people are never able to overcome CUDSit can't be medicated,' Blum said. 'The only thing an afflicted individual can do is try to curb those youthful desires while still in their twenties and pray they aren't still pursuing them at 45. There's nothing sadder than a middle-aged Pez-dispenser collector.' 
3	Not Just Oil: Guess What Happened The Last Time Commodity Prices Crashed Like This?Michael Snyder Just like junk bonds, industrial commodities are a very reliable leading indicator. In other words, prices for industrial commodities usually start to move in a particular direction before the overall economy does. We witnessed this in the summer of 2008 when a crash in commodity prices preceded the financial crisis in the fall by a couple of months. And right now, we are witnessing what may be another major collapse in commodity prices. In recent weeks, the price of copper has declined substantially. So has the price of iron ore. So has the price of nickel. So has the price of aluminum. You get the idea. So this isnt just about oil. This is a broad-based commodity decline, and if it continues it is really bad news for the U.S. economy. Of course most Americans would much rather read news stories about Kim Kardashian, but what is happening to the prices of these industrial metals at the moment is actually far more important to their daily lives. For example, when the price of iron ore goes down that is a strong indication that economic activity is slowing down. And that is why it is so troubling that the price of iron ore has almost sunk to a five year low. The following comesfrom an Australian news source The price of iron ore has held below $US70 a tonne in overnight trade, leaving its five-year low within reach. At the end of the latest offshore session, benchmark iron ore for immediate delivery to the port of Tianjin in China was trading at $US69.40 a tonne, down 0.4 per cent from its previous close of $US69.70 a tonne and only 2 per cent above the five-year low of $US68 reached a fortnight ago. This weeks dip back under $US70 a tonne has followed revised forecasts from JPMorgan that suggest the commodity will average just $US67 a tonne next year, about $US20 below the investment banks previous expectation. Copper is probably an even better economic indicator than iron ore is. Economists commonly refer to it as Dr. Copper, and there is a really good reason for that. Looking back over history, the price of copper often makes a significant move in one direction or the other before the economy does. And now that the price of copper just hit the lowest level that we have seen since the last financial crash, alarm bells are going off. The following comes from an article by CNBC contributor Ron Insana Copper prices are now below $3 a pound and theres an expression that the economy is topped with a copper roof. More simply put, copper tends to top out in price, before it becomes obvious that, in this case, the global economy is about to weaken. So is the global economy heading for rough waters? Could 2015 be a very rough year economically? According to Insana, the signs are all around us We already have evidence that the commodity crash has ominous portents for the rest of the world: * Japans recession is deeper than previously thought. * Chinas demand for basic materials, amid a glut of uneconomic construction projects, appears to be plummeting. * Russias ruble has collapsed and the country is on the brink, if not already in, a recession. * Indias economic recovery is beginning to look shaky. * Europes growth rate and inflation rate, for the next two years, were just revised downward by the European Central Bank, suggesting that Europes economic crisis is far from over. In fact, at least one former European leader with whom I recently spoke, believes the crisis in Europe may just be in its early stages. * Brazil and other emerging market nations are struggling with a variety of issues, from recessions at home, to the rising value of the dollar, which is complicating how emerging markets conduct economic policies at home, given how closely their currencies are tied to the greenback. In addition, the Baltic Dry Index is now at the lowest point that we have seen at this time of the year since 2008 Simply put, with collapsing commodity prices (iron ore for instance) and massive fleets of credit-driven mal-investment-based vessels, it should surprise no one that the shipping index just plunged back below 1000, now at its lowest for this time of year since 2008. Furthermore, the seasonal bounce always seen in Q3 was among the weakest ever. What does all of this mean? It is commonly said that those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. So many of the exact same patterns that we witnessed leading up to the financial crash of 2008 are happening again. Unfortunately, very few people saw the last crash coming, and this next crash will take most Americans by surprise as well. I have written more than 1,200 articles about the economy on my website since 2009, and right now our financial system is more primed for a crash than at any other time since I started The Economic Collapse Blog. Hopefully we have at least a couple more months of relative stability, but without a doubt 2015 is shaping up to be the most interesting year that we have seen in the financial world in a very long time. All of the signs are there. But most people choose to believe that everything is going to be okay somehow. When the next crash comes, those people are going to be absolutely blindsided by it. When you see storm clouds on the horizon, the logical thing to do is to prepare. And the number one thing that most people should be working on is an emergency fund. So dont be frittering your money away on frivolous things. In the early stages of this next crisis, you are going to need money to pay the mortgage, to put food on the table and to take care of your family. Just remember what happened back in 2008. A lot of middle class families were living on the financial edge every month, and because they didnt have any cushion to fall back on, millions of those families ended up losing their homes when their jobs disappeared. You need to have an emergency fund that can cover at least six months of expenses. You dont want a job loss or a major emergency to put you into a situation where your family could be put out into the street. And for those that still have lots of money invested in the stock market I really hope that you know what you are doing. The market giveth, and the market taketh away. And when the market taketh away, the consequences can often be exceedingly cruel. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

1	In the hours leading up to President Obamas State of the Union speech tonight, White House aides informed reporters that the president would most likely touch on a diverse and expansive array of topics, including U.S. patent law, the problem of relativism in contemporary epistemological discourse, and the works of American film director Robert Altman. This is a crucial speech for the president, and that is exactly why he will use this as an opportunity to thoroughly address Edward Saids theory of Orientalism while also discussing the often complex taxonomic specialization involved with various subspecies of moths and butterflies, said White House aide Louis Fererra, who went on to add that Obama has also developed an in-depth PowerPoint slideshow to discuss motifs of modern alienation in the 1993 film Short Cuts and the advances in algorithmic complexity in computer programming. While we know that some may disagree on the Presidents views on franchising trends, Latina rites of passage, the pickling and preservation of foraged vegetables, taxes, and the Adventures of Tintin book series, we believe now is the time for our nation to begin seriously discussing these subjects. At press time, representatives for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) had announced the Republican response to the speech would include strongly divergent opinions on Chinese calligraphy, aquatic mammals, and the use of noise reduction filters for audio editing. 
2	WATCH: Eric Trump Rips Hillary A New One On Live TV... Shes Left Speechless Donald Trumps son Eric caused quite the controversy last week when he argued that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is guilty of the ultimate hypocrisy in relation to the liberal positions she takes. The comments were made after it was brought to light that the Clinton Foundation has been accepting donations from oppressive regimes. On Wednesday, Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Trump the following, How do you claim the mantle, as a champion of womens rights, gay rights, lesbian rights, religious freedom, as Hillary does, [and then] take money from counties that execute gays and lesbians? That tell women how to dress, that tell women they cant go to work or school unless a man approvesand never offer any criticism. Its the ultimate hypocrisy, the son of the Republican presidential candidate and legendary businessman replied. The country is fed up with this corruption, Trump continued. Its crazy. I mean heres somebody that between 2007 and 2014 made $150 million, all while being secretary of state. How do you do that as a government employee? Youre supposed to be looking out for the interests of the United States of American, he added of the Clinton Foundation. Instead, youre profiting off it. Earlier that day, Donald Trump also went after Clinton for her accumulation of wealth from public service. Hillary Clinton has perfected the politics of personal profit and even theft, he commented. She ran the State Department like her own personal hedge fund, doing favors for oppressive regimes. Trump then struck at Hillary even harder. Hillary Clintons tryout for the presidency has produced one deadly foreign policy disaster after another, he commented. No secretary of state has been more wrong, more often, in more places than Hillary Clinton. In just four years, Secretary Clinton managed to almost single-handedly destabilize the entire Middle East. 
2	BREAKING: Barack Obamas Social Security Number Under Court Investigation Judge Ellen Lipton Hollender of Maryland is giving Attorney OrlyTaitz the chance to continue to fight to unveil the mystery of President Obamas Social Security Number. The SSN he has been using, Taitz claims, belongs to Harry Bounel, who was born in 1890. Taitz has been fighting to unseal the records of Bounel through a Freedom of Information Request, but has thus far been denied by the Social Security Administration. When Attorney Taitz initially filed her complaint, the SSA ignored her request entirely. After a lawsuit was filed, the SSA claimed that the records of the complaint could not be found. According to their own 120-year rule, the SSA has no right to claim privacy of Bounels records. In fact, they have a duty casino online to release the records. Under the 120 Year Rule, implemented by the SSA in 2010, and pertaining to extremely aged individuals, Bounels Social Security applications have to be released under FOIA without proof of [his] death. While Judge Hollander acknowledged that Taitzs assertions might very well be correct, she is unable to make a decision on the case, given that the original complaint was filed before the SSA responded. As a result, Hollander is allowing Attorney Taitz to file a second amended complaint and add allegations regarding improper withholding by the SSA, if she does so within in 21 days. It is possible that Judge Hollander will order the SSA to release the SS-5, Social Security application of Harry Bounel, whose SSN was used on Obamas 2009 tax returns. This ruling is a strong development in uncovering the mystery of Obamas identity.

Sorry folks, were experiencing a brief technical delay, the 16-year MTA veteran told passengers as a mans lifeless, nearly severed body was dragged out of the way of trains ahead, leaving a trail of blood and brain matter in it its wake. We apologize for the wait. Should be cleared momentarily. At press time, the trains occupants were cursing the six-minute delay. 
1	In the midst of negotiating the largest economic bailout ever proposed, congressional leaders agreed Friday that the chaos and volatility of the past week has rekindled a sense of excitement for legislation many had thought lost forever. 'We worked through the weekend, pulled a few all-nighters, and just got back into the whole legislating groove again,' Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) said. 'After all these years of not making a difference, it's nice to know we still got it, baby.' Senators looked proudly to their colleagues in the lower chamber, who weathered thousands of calls and e-mails from panicked citizens, and came together as a group for the first time in years to pass the emergency bill. 'Being able to really bang it out like thisman, it's what being a public servant is all about,' said Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV), who claimed the historic bailout made him feel like he was 46 years old again. 'The air inside the Senate chamber has been electric. Folks haven't been this fired up since Strom Thurmond tried to pass anti-miscegenation legislation back in '59.' The financial crisis also brought back some once-familiar faces to Capitol Hill. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich surprised a large crowd of representatives when he took the congressional stage unannounced Thursday, joining some former colleagues as he added one of his many 'classic addenda' to the bill. 'Shit. It feels good to have the gang back together again,' the former representative of Georgia's sixth district said. 'This is why we all got into politics in the first place. Well, this and the drunken sensation of unchecked power.' Members said they didn't expect the magic to last more than a few days, but remained confident that the passion will resurface again sometime in the next five years, when emergency legislation is required to respond to roving gangs of angry citizens fighting over fresh water and kerosene. 
3	Cleveland Seeks to Buy Large Amount of Riot Gear For Republican National ConventionBy Joseph Jankowski According to a report from Cleveland.com, the city seeks to obtain theElite Defender riot-control suitmanufactured by HWI Gear and a 26-inch baton manufactured by Monadnock, along with2,000 bags to carry them. Cleveland received $50 million as part of a federal appropriations bill back in December to offset the cost of security for the convention. The city is also seeking to buythree miles of interlocking steel barriers, each 3.5 feet high, and buy another 3,250 feet of interlocking barriers that each would be 6.5 feet tall for the RNC, according to Cleveland.com. The RNC has been designated as aNational Special Security Event; therefore, its hosts can receivefederal funding. Cleveland will plan the event security under the direction of the Secret Service. The same appropriations bill which granted Cleveland with security funds also handed the same amount to Philadelphia, who will host the Democratic National Convention from July 25-28. Its unsure whether or not the cities expect any violence to occur while the conventions are in town. One thing is certain, though, if security receivesthe equipment they are bidding for in Cleveland, they will be more then ready to handle a crowd. The ClevelandRNC, scheduled for the week of July 18, is expected to attract 50,000 visitors. The riot gear model is called Elite Defender? And the whack-a-noodle baton is made by Monadnock. Are you sure its not Gonadnock? Is this some kind of joke? I pray neither city needs it because our citizenry behaves. Considering BLM is wacko, is it any surprise they need to protect the actual participants of the convention? Must be ascaret of us big bad republicansI would say not enough. 
1	In an event that sparked outrage across the historical community, deniers of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake convened last weekend to share their controversial theories about what actually occurred on that tragic day more than a century ago. Well-known denier David Compson argues that our history books are skewed against tremors. The 1906 Earthquake Deniers, a group reviled by Californians and scholars alike, held three days of lectures and roundtable discussions over what they call a 'century-long hoax' of exaggerated seismic activity in the Bay area, and part of a conspiracy to bring the World's Fair to San Francisco in 1915. Historians protested the conference, saying the organization's statements denying any major seismic activity in 1906 are reprehensible and out of line with all available geologic data from the time. 'On Apr. 18, 1906, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale killed 3,000 San Franciscans and devastated a growing metropolis,' Professor Richard Kasper of the University of California, Berkeley, told reporters Tuesday. 'It was a massive, massive earthquake. To say otherwise is to callously ignore not only the suffering of the disaster's victims, but also a mountain of photographs, video footage, and eyewitness reports.' Doubters believe photos like this one may have been altered to include more rubble and giant crevices. Added Kasper: 'And I find it personally offensive to suggest that a single malfunctioning trolley car could have wiped out 490 city blocks.' Pamphlets distributed during the symposium, which brought together some of the world's most notorious 1906 Earthquake Deniers, raised numerous questions about the so-called 'myth' of the 296-mile-long rupture in the San Andreas Fault felt from Oregon to Los Angeles. 'If an earthquake of that size really did strike downtown San Francisco, then where is all the rubble?' read one pamphlet, entitled 'After$hock$: Truth, Lies, And The Business Of Earthquakes,' obtained by reporters. 'Where are these alleged 3,000 dead? And why does the mayor refuse to answer questions about the fires that mysteriously started moments after the supposed 'earthquake' occurred? Ask yourself: Who is he protecting?' The early 1906 Earthquake Denier movement began shortly after World War I, when historian Michael P. Harrison published an article alleging that the Chinese government and San Francisco Mayor Eugene Schmitz devised a plan to purposely light the city on fire to acquire funds for a new Chinatown. The modern day movement, however, gained momentum in 1971 with Professor David Compson's controversial book Earthquake?, which argued that the inability to freely question the disaster was 'the equivalent of mental rape.' Compson has also gone on the record with similar remarks about the 1889 Johnstown Flood and, more recently, Hurricane Katrina. 'We're not saying that there weren't a few tremors on the morning of 4/18, but we do question whether 'earthquake' was the proper term to classify them,' said Compson, adding that he sees himself as more of a 1906 Earthquake Revisionist than a 1906 Earthquake Denier. 'These geologists and their fancy-looking, detailed seismic readouts simply aren't telling us the whole story.' Self-acknowledged 1906 Earthquake Denier and radical seismologist Dr. William Pletcher rebuffed angered historians by stating that the goal of the conference was neither to prove nor deny the earthquake of 1906. Rather, said Pletcher, it was held to 'facilitate an appropriate atmosphere in which the hidden and unhidden angles of the most important geological issue of the 20th century could become more transparent.' 'This so-called 'violent shift in the earth's tectonic plates' is nothing more than a thinly veiled lie, perpetrated by the San Francisco zoning commission in secret conjunction with the Freemasons to demonize the San Andreas Fault,' Pletcher told reporters outside the conference. 'The government won't acknowledge our findings because they fear the truth.' While the group has numerous critics, their most outspoken opponents have always been the earthquake survivors themselves. San Franciscans who lived through the event have often countered the Deniers theories by pointing out that on the morning of Apr. 18, at approximately 5:15 a.m., the ground dramatically shook, large crevasses formed in city streets, and buildings crumbled and fell. 'It was an earthquake,' said 109-year-old survivor Saul Bloomfield. But earthquake deniers claim that these personal testimonies are littered with inconsistencies. They have also asserted that Anne Mitchell's Diary Of A Young Girl In The Great San Francisco Earthquake Of 1906, a book that has been translated into 44 languages, was completely fabricated. 'San Franciscans need to wake up and smell the lies and deceits they've been fed for the last century,' Earthquake Denier Jared Meeder said. 'If a giant earthquake did actually occur, why would anyone in their right mind rebuild a city knowing full well that another earthquake could easily come along and destroy it again?' 'Think about it,' Meeder added.

'We've been working hard all year,' said Brundle, speaking from his firehouse cot. 'Our men deserve a day to just lie around and watch TV, and maybe order some pizza in the afternoon.'

1	The sudden appearance of photos of Duke basketball players in national newspapersas well as video of the school's marching band and Dick Vitale talking about the team on televisionhas led the nation to believe that something is currently happening with Duke basketball, arousing suspicions that the 2010-11 NCAA men's basketball season has either just begun, is about to begin, or has just ended. 'I was flipping through USA Today and saw a picture of Coach K in his Duke collared shirt, not his Team USA collared shirt, so I think something is going on college-basketball-wise,' Ohio resident Greg Evans told reporters. 'In the picture he was yelling at young men who appeared to be Blue Devils players. Maybe it was a season preview. Or maybe it was a midseason report. Maybe it's March Madness.' Evans added that similar things were probably happening at the University of North Carolina. 
3	Big-Pharma Vaccines Deemed Safe by Big-Pharma Funded StudyTony Cartalucci While the report itself was funded by the US government, the RAND Corporation from which its authors were drawn is funded by the very corporations (.PDF page 70) that manufacture various vaccines, including the MMR vaccine which was the primary focus of the report. Big-pharma sponsors of RAND include GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Merck that latter of which is listed by the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) specifically as the manufacturer of the MMR vaccine. Merck has also directly and openly funded other studies put out by RAND (here and here). RANDs other big-pharma sponsor, GSK, has been recently exposed amid a global multi-billion dollar bribing scandal where it was paying off doctors to endorse and distribute their products. With Pediatrics report exposed as at the very least an irresponsible, unethical exercise in research, and at worst, corporate propaganda masquerading as a scientific paper, those considering whether or not to have vaccines manufactured by deceitful pharmaceutical monopolies injected into their bodies, have an added incentive to hold off and search for alternatives. While the science of vaccinations may be sound, the corporations that have monopolized their manufacturing and distribution are demonstrably dishonest and criminal. The debate is not necessarily whether the process of vaccinating is good or bad, but why criminal enterprises have monopolized that process and what can be done to stop them. As with everything else corporate monopolies do, there is a hidden agenda behind the drive to whitewash and promote big-pharmas vaccines an agenda that may transcend mere profits and demands additional scrutiny. If commentators want to assign blame upon anyone for creating public distrust in vaccines, it should be upon big-pharma itself.

'The Seahawks continue to present punts to me that are not in the best interest of the American people,' Bill Clinton said, reiterating his 1992 election pledge to prevent any Seahawks punt attempts from becoming law. Congressman George Melcykski (R-WA) blasted Clinton, saying, 'The Seahawks badly needed this victory, and that punt block was a crucial turning point.' Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala recovered the punt in Seattle's end zone for a touchdown. 
3	Animas River May Remain Toxic for Decades After EPA SpillBy Joshua Krause Governor John Hickenlooper is one of those authorities, and hes determined to prove that everything is back to normal. So on Tuesday, after being given the challenge by the Durango Herald, he decided to take a big gulp of river water for the cameras. After 24 hours, he reported that he was still in perfect health. However, that hardly proves that the river is safe, at least in the long term. Granted, the EPA has tested the water and found that its toxicity has returned to pre-spill levels, but all of this is based on only a few days of water testing, which hardly enough time to draw a proper conclusion. Even the EPA admitted that during a recent public meeting between themselves and the Governor. Speaking in Durango, Hickenlooper, a Democrat, said a preliminary analysis of water samples taken Friday from Cement Creek after a plume of mustard-yellow mining wastewater crawled down the river shows that the water has largely returned to pre-event levels. Concentrations of heavy metals and pH had returned to within normal ranges, confirmed Dr. Larry Wolk, executive director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. But an official with the EPA asked Hickenlooper to stop making comments about the returning health of the river. It doesnt show where we are at right now, Shaun McGrath, Region 8 administrator for the EPA, told Hickenlooper, as officials huddled on the grass at Rotary Park. You have to have a couple of days of data to show that youre actually back to baseline conditions, and were not there yet. Thats nonsense, Hickenlooper responded, pointing out that businesses that rely on the river to drive operations are closed. Just one day later, the EPA went so far as to call the water safe for consumption in Durango and La Plata County. Make of that of what you will. Its probably true that this stretch of the river is now relatively safe, but thats only temporary. In all likelihood, the toxicity of the whole Animas River will haunt the region for decades. Ellen Wohl, a geoscience professor at Colorado State University told Business Insider she thinks the governors push to reopen the river doesnt necessarily reflect the rivers health, but rather, pressure to get boating and other recreational activities going again on the river. Even if the pH and heavy metal levels have returned to normal for now, she said, it doesnt mean they wont be a problem in the next few decades. The metals will stick around for a while, clinging to the silt and clay at the bottom of the river. Theres the potential every time we have a flood for quite a while now that this material could be eroded, and you could have spikes of heavy metal [levels], Wohl said. How much do you want to bet that this will all blow over after a few weeks, and for the next 10 or 20 years the authorities will ignore these heavy metal spikes? The state authorities wont want to alarm residents and tourists, while the EPA will be too busy enjoying their SuperFund money to care. Honestly, you shouldnt expect anything less when politics, bureaucracy, and money collide with the environment. Image Credit Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author. You can follow Joshuas reports at Facebook or on his personal Twitter. Joshuas website is Strange Danger . Could EPA have intentionally created this spill to further the UN Agenda 21 Goals of moving people out of rural areas into cities? Good question. The logic fits the agenda of the agenda 21. Sure. Some of that water ends up in Southern California/LA Basin area, where it is a substantial part of their water supply. Its not necessarily related to Agenda 21, but it certainly could be. At the least, its a payback and pay-forward to the agencys many Corporate Criminal associates. Bit of thought here, may be counter to what many of us deem common logic. Bear with me though. As a general rule in politics and illicit affairs we follow the money. Who profits? Consider that a minute when suggesting the STATE, now a corporation here in America, would want more people in cities. If more people, presumably unemployed due to dislocation, move to the cities it means STATE has to pick up the bills. STATE pays unemployment, possibly health care, daycare, S.N.A.P for these now dependent people. How is it STATE as a corporation would profit by having to pay out to cover costs of these dependents? Not saying a means for STATE to profit does not exist in this swindle, if it is such. Not saying it is a swindle, or that STATE would exactly be the one to profit if any profit was realized. I am saying there are a few basic questions at hand, for me at least, what merit and warrant other questions. Or, it may be STATE is culling people to the cities all the better for some form of genocide? Well, human labor provides value to any form of money. Money itself is merely a useless symbolic tool. It is the human labor, creativity, ingenuity that create value and ergo power. If genocide is the order it would seem STATE, or whatever MASTER it acts as middleman for would lose a great deal of value which is by extension profit. To me it seems illogical that STATE would risk losing profit, as profit is sacred for corporations. Letting dependents siphon off profit, or killing dependents, either way causes loss of profit. Im not a lawyer or economist, banker, doctor. I am a mere humble rural dwelling man that sees things differently at times. You can take or leave my views as you desire. Only offering speculative opinion as seems commonplace nowadays. Spelled G-E-N-O-C-I-D-E Dig! Governor Chickenpooper, as he is widely know in the west, is a liar and a criminal. I immediately intuited (I have lots of experience with such liars) that the EPA did this on purpose, in order to declare a multizillion dollar Superfund site that so profits the EPAs many clean-up crony capitalist fellow travelers. Necks need to snap at the end of nooses over this deliberately-caused atrocity. IN PUBLIC and ON TV, What does the human domain mean, exactly? Dissecting it, it means all the places that humans do what humans do. i.e., the world, meaning becoming masters of the planet. 
1	In the latest incident of drug-related violence to hit the country, all 111 million citizens of Mexico were killed Monday during a shoot-out between rival drug cartels. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the violence was sparked by a botched drug deal involving an estimated 20 kilograms of marijuana, a dispute that led low-level members of the Sinaloa cartel to open fire on local dealers in Culiacn. Within seconds, the gunfire had spread to Chihuahua, Michoacn, Yucatn, and, minutes later, the other 27 Mexican states, leaving every person in Mexico dead. 'We're still piecing together details, but it looks as though the incident began as an act of retaliation against Sinaloa by two foot soldiers from the Los Zetas cartel,' DEA administrator Michele Leonhart said. 'The Gulf and Tijuana cartels then responded before being ambushed by La Familia Michoacna and Los Negros. At that point, witnesses reported hearing roughly 357 million gunshots, during which time the Mexican populace was caught in the crossfire and killed.' 'A four-gram bag of cocaine was also recovered by agents,' Leonhart added. Leonhart said the DEA has sealed off the 761,606-square-mile crime scene, which is littered with bullet-riddled bodies and assault rifles, and splattered with blood. The DEA investigation has so far determined that 20 million of the victims were murdered in the shoot-out while driving, biking, or walking to their homes, and that stray bullets killed another 8 million people watching the violence from their windows or balconies. An additional 1 million sons who set out to avenge the deaths of their fathers were annihilated in the final minutes while attempting to settle the score. Authorities also confirmed that a number of Mexican residents were immediately taken hostage by gangs, but all 20 million were murdered execution style when relatives failed to pay their ransom to local drug lords. Several tourists who managed to escape the violence by hiding in the ruins of Templo Mayor in Mexico City were stunned by the gruesome aftermath. 'We just heard some shouting at first and then a bunch of gunshots,' said Allan Curtis, who was on vacation with four friends. 'It probably only lasted for a few minutes, but when we came out there were like 8 million bodies in the streets.' In response to the violence, Mexican president Felipe Caldern declared a state of emergency before being gunned down at the podium by passing drug dealers. Mexican law enforcement struggled to maintain order during the massacre, with 4 million police officers taking point-bank shots to the face while attempting to collect bribes; others were reportedly driven out to the desert where corrupt partners slit their throats. 'We are doing our best at the moment to locate any Mexican police or military officials who are still alive so that we may work hand-in-hand with them to combat the growing problem of drug violence in Mexico,' Leonhart told reporters. 'Episodes like this are simply unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the United States government.' At press time, U.S. drug dealers said they were not sure how or when the vast supplies of marijuana left behind by the Mexican cartels would reach their intended consumers, but they wished to assure the American public that they are doing all they can.

2	When A Pastor Who Died For 45 Mins Delivered This Unbelievable Message To The UN... Everybody Went Silent [VIDEO] When Pastor Lee Stoneking appeared in front of the General Assembly at the United Nations in New York City, he had a very important message to deliver. He had been asked to address violence in the name of religious ideology throughout the world. But before he did that, he wanted to tell a story of resurrection. Stoneking had been clinically dead for 45 minutes when his heart started to beat. The paramedics surrounding him at the time were shocked that he pulled through. I am grateful today to be alive, Stoneking told his listeners. He went on to explain that after six minutes without oxygen, the brain can suffer irreparable damage. One doctor told Stoneking that he had defied all the laws of medical science. I looked at him and said, I didnt but I know the one who did, Stoneking continued. His name is Jesus. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this an amazing story? 
2	Rand Paul Holds Nothing Back, Theres One Place Hillary Belongs... Behind Bars! Kentuckys Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul made headlines this week when he blasted Hillary Clinton, calling for the Democratic nominee to be indicted and locked up. Every voter in the country needs to know that the Clintons are in it for themselves, Paul said Thursday in an interview on The OReilly Factor. Theyre in it to make money and they will make hundreds of millions of dollars if she gets in the White House because they will sell themselves to the highest bidder, he continued. Paul also argued that the former secretary of state should face indictment, followed by a prison sentence. I think its very unfair that Hillary Clinton wasnt prosecuted, he said, referring to charges that were dropped against Clinton in a federal investigation of her private emails during her tenure at the State Department. Her dishonesty should preclude her from really being considered for commander in chief. Paul also shared his personal theory that FBI Director James Comey actually did want to indict Clinton, and now regrets not doing so. He claims that Clintons actions proved that for her, convenience trumps national security. The conflict of interest just goes on and on, and I think its indictable, he concluded. She should be in prison for it. 
1	Days after their candidates sudden withdrawal from the presidential race, dejected supporters of Republican Tim Pawlenty said Wednesday they could now only dream of what things might have been like if the former Minnesota governor had been able to drop out a couple months later. Just imagine if hed actually gotten the chance to be kicked around by pundits until October before collapsing under the weight of continually falling poll numbers and all but nonexistent support from donors, said Natalie Van Druff, a volunteer who told reporters she was struggling to accept the fact that she wouldnt be seeing Pawlenty end his campaign after a distant fourth-place finish in New Hampshire. We put in so much work, and now well never get to watch him limp along for another few months as a total also-ran. Its just not fair. Van Druff added that with Pawlenty out of the race, she would reluctantly support former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, who she said had the best chance of meekly bowing out by Thanksgiving.

1	In an 8,000-word expos featured in this week's issue of The New Yorker, Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist and author Seymour Hersh examines the life of 33-year-old Alex Phelan, a Virginia resident who on Dec. 3, 2011, cut him off while driving on the Capital Beltway. 'A high-level municipal official who agreed to speak on background for this article confirmed Phelan was first licensed to drive by the Commonwealth of Virginia in March 1995 and since that time has received only three motor-vehicle citations despite being a piece-of-shit driver who clearly doesn't know when to yield the goddamn right-of-way,' read an excerpt from the piece, for which Hersh spent six months interviewing Phelan's friends and family members, in addition to poring over internal documents obtained from various traffic enforcement agencies and a high school driver's ed program. 'On Sept. 17 of last year Phelan went to I-Deal Autos in McLean, VA and purchased a 2007 Toyota Camry bearing the tag TRK-254 that was not three months later jerked into the right lane without so much as a signal when the asshole decided at the last fucking second to take the Georgetown Pike and almost fucking killed the driver behind him.' Hersh's future projects include a book about the vice presidency of Dick Cheney and an in-depth series of articles on a disputed labor charge at a D.C.-area Jiffy Lube. 
1	Suggesting that the victims death was likely the most interesting thing that had ever happened to him, Seattle city coroner Philip Grossman told reporters Wednesday that the 38-year-old local loser he was autopsying had nothing remotely cool in his bloodstream at the time of his passing. Upon initially examining the body, we at first suspected the deceased might have flamed out with a little glory, but according to the toxicology report his system contained no evidence of hard drugs, prescription pills, booze, or even caffeine, for crying out loud, said Grossman, surmising that the grade-A lame-o never had a day of fun in his life given how untarnished and intact his liver and lungs were. Yesterday, we had this awesome dude with lethal levels of tequila, painkillers, and coke in him all at the same time; that guy could party. Definitely wasnt a giant puss like the present victim. Grossman added that the closest the deceased got to being cool was his failure to wear his seatbelt.

2	Oprah: Anyone Who Doesnt Like Obama Is Racist A recent clip of Oprah Winfrey demonstrates exactly what is wrong with the liberal agenda. Apparently, you cant disagree with Barack Obama without being a racist. Winfrey has steadfastly defended the president since he was first elected. Some even say that she used her fame to help convince millions of American fans to vote for him. Now, six years into his presidency, we doubt that many of those people would make the same decision. His approval ratings are at an all time low, and he continues to support his own agenda over the needs of the American people. Still, Oprah makes the bold claim that people criticize the president only because he is black. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Overflowing U.S. Private Prisons, by the Numbers (w/Infographic)By Joe Wright As youll see in the infographic below, the bodies are indeed arriving quickly to fill the coffers of those who are reaping massive profit from caging as much of the public as they can get away with. Thirty-seven states have signed onto this system which promotes a dangerous mutually beneficial relationship between government and corporations. A closer look reveals that it is definitely not beneficial for ordinary citizens and the communities which house these prisons. America already holds 25% of the worlds prison population, with the number of these prisoners held in private prisons rising 20-fold in the last decade. As the economy declines, there are new opportunities presented by reintroducingdebtors prisons, formally abolished in the early 1800s. Perhaps more troubling is the heightened criminalization of children for behavior which previously was considered merely a nuisance, not something worthy of handcuffs and the big house. The trend is clearly toward making nearly every activity a potential prison-worthy crime. As you will also see, there is an additional financial bonus that goes beyond the direct incentives to the corporate prison owners for adding bodies. Its a de facto slave labor pool for the military-industrial complex and other corporate interests. For those who might be inclined to argue that its a form of justice that a predatory system is only targeting other predators, the rise of private prisons is not making our communities any safer. In fact, if we look at the case study of Louisiana, which is the worlds prison capital and also #1 in for-profit prisons, incidentally we see nothing but an increase in social decay at every level. In a comprehensive, must-read article for the Times-Picayune of New Orleans, Cindy Chang writes: In the past two decades, Louisianas prison population has doubled, costing taxpayers billions while New Orleans continues to lead the nation in homicides. With the highest percentage of its citizens locked up in a for-profit system, Louisiana should be a safe, economically prosperous state if this model is effective in removing all of the bad elements that threaten society. What we see is the exact opposite: Louisiana is one of the most poverty stricken, uneducated, and dangerous states in the union. The next generation is effectively punished as well by having one or both parents locked away, while the funding needed to potentially break the cycle is diverted toward building more prisons. Louisiana is a canary in the coal mine for this predatory system and its expansion across the United States. A nation that still purports to be the Land of the Free becomes a mockery of freedom when it has literally invested in slavery. This system is already beginning to overflow with profits for the slave masters, and increasingly unjust and inhumane conditions for anyone they deem to have more value as a slave than as a free citizen.

2	Nancy Pelosi Goes After Trump, Learns Extremely Quickly That Was A Huge Mistake Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi has been treading water lately, after her close friend Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump. In fact, she nearly lost her position as Democratic minority leader when a rival Democrat from Ohio made an argument that she was out of touch. Now, Pelosi is falling even further, slamming President-Elect Trump for refuting the CIAs claim that Russia hacked the election. Unfortunately, she ended up shooting herself in the foot. Trump was quick to criticize the intelligence community, saying, These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. Its now time to move on and Make America Great Again. Pelosi responded to Trump on MSNBC, arguing, He returned with, well, people told us that Saddam Hussein hadIraq had weapons of mass destruction. It did not. The intelligence community never said that. It was a massive misrepresentation to the American people. But theres nothing in the intelligence to support the threat that Bush-Cheney was presenting. This couldnt be further from the truth. In fact, the very first unclassified finding of the 2002 National Intelligence Estimate was: We judge that Iraq has continued its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs in defiance of UN resolutions and restrictions. Baghdad has chemical and biological weapons as well as missiles with ranges in excess of UN restrictions; if left unchecked, it probably will have a nuclear weapon during this decade. What do you think? Is Pelosis leadership coming to an end? Is it time for her to step aside? 
3	How Wearable Smart Tech Will Control Your LifeAaron Dykes and Melissa Melton IF you take your cues from propaganda outlets like TIME, wearable technology is whats next in our lives and in a big way. Simply carrying around a cellphone which is a really a complicated mini-computer in and of itself wont be fashionable or sensible for much longer. As the likes of futurist Ray Kurzweil and others have long been predicting, wearable wrist-watch and eyeglass style wi-fi units (and eventually implantables) will be the new mediary between Us and The Net. From lulling us to sleep to waking us up, monitoring everything we are datawise including our heartbeats, calorie intake, hydration level and other vital stats to coaching our exercise to becoming an ever-mindful business secretary and digital wallet, these wearables will do more (and thus, invade our very existence) than SMART phones ever could They might even be the source of understanding your own body (and mind?) better than you ever tried to; likewise, these digital wi-fi connected devices will even be the source of data leaks to the very public life online that would reveal intimate data about every bit of you making you easy prey to those who would track and control your lifes footprint, including marketing to you live-time relevant ads that might be too suggestive to be anything but eerie. (For example, does your heart rate swell when you are marketed a flashy sports car or desirable celebrity model? Your wearable shackle/companion/babysitter/informant will know too damn much, and likely be the first to broadcast it to everyone from corporations to online friends.) You might even elect to send your heartbeat to a friend as some sort of ill-conceived sentimental gesture. Thats the personal side of future living that already plans to track your usages (and let energy companies exploit them for pricing) of individual household SMART appliances (toasters, refrigerators, washing machines) and even your trashcan (to see how much to charge for your wasteful habits). Geez, the future is getting very strange indeed this brave new world is not only invasive but passive aggressive to boot. Aaron and Melissa created TruthstreamMedia.com, where this first appeared, as an outlet to examine the news, place it in a broader context, uncover the deceptions, pierce through the fabric of illusions, grasp the underlying factors, know the real enemy, unshackle from the system, and begin to imagine the path towards taking back our lives, one step at a time, so that one day we might truly be free 
1	Facing mounting domestic and international pressure to respond to the deployment of chemical weapons by the government of Bashar al-Assad, White House sources confirmed today that President Barack Obama is carefully weighing his option for dealing with the war-torn Middle Eastern nation. The president has conferred with his top advisors and is currently considering everything from authorizing missile strikes against Syrian regime targets, to taking out Syrian regime targets with missile strikesnothing is off the table at this point, said White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, noting that the president would take all factors into consideration, including the well-being of the Syrian people and the strategic interests of the United States, before settling on his only option. The president recognizes that the situation in Syria is extremely delicate and that the U.S. faces complex consequences regardless of what he chooses; thats why hes giving the one option in front of him so much thought. He will not act until hes confident in the inexorable decision hes making. At press time, Obama had reportedly narrowed his option down to missile strikes against Syrian regime targets, but stated that he would consider it for several more days before making a final decision. 
2	Maine Is Demolishing Obamas Welfare Leeches Rights... You Gotta See This According to recent reports, Gov. Paul LePage of Maine is putting his foot down when it comes to the abuse of welfare in the state, especially as it pertains to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. LePage is passing a measure that will require that non-disabled recipients work at least twenty hours per week, volunteer, or attend a training in order to continue receiving benefits. As a result of the new requirements, only 2,680 of 12,000 non-disabled welfare recipients are still involved in the program. And the 9,000 who dropped wont be eligible for benefits again for another three years. This just goes to show that people need some tough love in order to stand on their own two feet. What do you think? Should the rest of America be following Maines lead? 
2	What Obama Is Doing On Independence Day Will Make You Absolutely SICK This could be one of the most infuriating moves that President Obama has made to dateand that is saying a lot. While you are celebrating at a parade and barbequing with friends, President Obama is plotting to make our military weaker. This week, Obamas defense secretary Ash Carter announced that the military intends to allow openly transgender people to serve. Those already in the military who wish to change their gender identity or transition will also be qualified to receive medical care to assist them. They will also change the listed gender in the Pentagons computer system. As of next year, transgender individuals are on track to enter the military assuming they meet the requirements and have been in their current gender for a period of 18 months. Many experts in the military have argued that this will decrease readiness when it comes to social engineering. Defense Secretary Carter was blatantly dismissive at the Pentagon press conference. Americans who want to serve and can meet our standards should be afforded the opportunity to compete to do so, he commented. Our mission is to defend this country, and we dont want barriers unrelated to a persons qualification to serve preventing us from recruiting or retaining the soldier, sailor, airman, or Marine who can best accomplish the mission. The AP highlighted concerns from senior military leaders that the department is moving too fast and that more time is needed to work through the changes. What do you think of this new policy? 
3	British Spy Agencies Plan Black Box Style Web SurveillanceMick Meaney, Contributor Agencies want to use black box style snooping devices to monitor nearly all web activity including which domain names citizens visit, and Facebook, Twitter and Skype sessions. Known as Deep Packet Inspection, the technology allows agencies who intercept the packets of data to look through the contents. The intrusive regime is expected to cost taxpayers 1.8bn over the next 10 years, as the Home Office claims there is a 25 per cent shortfall in monitoring communications data. The plans are currently in draft form, as the Liberal Democrats have dropped support for the bill. Access to communications data of one sort or another is very important indeed. Its part of the backbone of the way in which we would approach investigations. I think I would be accurate in saying there are no significant investigations that we undertake across the service that dont use communications data because of its ability to tell you the who and the when and the where of your targets activities. The report also hints that Internet Service Providers, landline and mobile phone companies must have a legal foundation to retain data, effectively forcing companies to store our data as Web snooping would become mandatory. Email communications will also be logged. Although access to the contents of the data, such as the email addresses of senders and recipients will require a court order, the time and date stamps of that email will be available. Nick Pickles, director of privacy at civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, told ZDNet: Two expert Parliamentary committees have cast serious doubts on the claim that it is necessary for every persons email, Web site browsing and social media activity needs to be logged and kept for one year. The report recognises there are weaknesses in monitoring people suspected of wrongdoing. It is becoming increasingly difficult for Ministers to justify monitoring every member of the population instead of developing their ability to monitor people who are under suspicion. He also added: The report recognises for national security situations, alternatives are available and are being used. The committee also recognises the growing futility of the Home Offices current approach given the increasing use of encryption. The draft Bill was a shambles and if any legislation is to allay the widespread concerns people have about an vast expansion in the power of the state to monitor every aspect of our lives it will need a fundamental and comprehensive re-write. This is just the latest in the British governments Big Brother agenda, which includes collecting and sharing of private medical information, the use of spy drones, spy cars on our roads, facial recognition CCTV and even authorities illegally installing cameras in peoples homes.

1	In response to international criticism of Chinese workplace inequity and labor rights, China's National Labor Committee agreed Monday to establish an unpaid 15-minute break during the regular 18-hour workday, to allow pregnant women to 'expel the child from their body, adjust to being a new parent, wash their hands, and return to work.' Workers silently celebrate the new guidelines during a company-sanctioned 'moment of appreciation.' 'During the last moments of childbirth, a female employee's productivity diminishes sharply,' said Shanghai toy-factory owner Huang Wei, who noted that even the slightest whimper of pain or sight of a newborn's head as it crowns can distract an entire assembly line from the job at hand. 'These women need a few minutes to rest and recuperate before returning to sew eyes onto stuffed animals in an efficient and satisfactory manner.' 'Of course, this measure wouldn't need to be taken at all if pregnant workers could schedule their due dates for the annual holiday of May 1,' Huang added. When her contractions are coming at such short intervals that she is physically unable to attach a Barbie head, the female worker must report to the factory's lone bathroom stall, located four flights up from the assembly line. Once there, she is instructed to deliver the child within five minutes, which allows her sufficient time to get hosed down with hot water and mop up the surrounding area so that others do not slip in the afterbirth. To prevent abuse of privileges, this 15-minute period also incorporates the one weekly bathroom break all workers are allotted. Initial response among female workers has been positive, with most women preferring the new rule over the old one, which stipulated that the newborn child must remain where it lands on the floor until the woman's shift ends. 'Even though this maternity break means I will lose three of my 12 cents for that hour, it will be worth it just to hold my baby in my arms for a few precious seconds,' said pregnant seamstress Yuen Yin, 19, just after her factory's quitting whistle blew at 2:47 a.m. Despite the new, broadened time allotment, expectant employees are encouraged to speed the birthing process by breaking the amniotic-sac membranes themselves. The expectant mother will be responsible for thoroughly sanitizing every affected area, and will also be discouraged from using factory instruments such as tongs to facilitate the birthing process, unless it is the only means through which she can remove the baby before the allotted 15 minutes elapse. The new mother would then be docked three days' pay to replace the implement. The Labor Committee also instituted an incentive plan granting a 40-cent bonus to any employee expecting a daughter who opts to use her 15 minutes to receive an abortion in the factory's storage closet. Songgang shoe-factory owner Xiao Jianqi said he had considered adopting some of Micronesia's more liberal maternity policies, including an additional three minutes off for twins, 35 'personal minutes' for the child's first year, and a towel to wrap the infant in. But he decided that the new regulations were enough, and he did not want to give female workers more reason to agitate. 'If these Chinese employees' work ethic is any indication, I strongly believe these maternity breaks will go quickly and smoothly for the mother and the child, and that once the 15 minutes are up, both of them will return to the assembly line to continue working,' Xiao added. 
1	NASHVILLE, TNA week after Paula Jones' sexual-harassment suit was dismissed by an Arkansas judge, President Clinton once again found himself the subject of formal scrutiny Monday, when he was ordered to appear before the Grand Ole Opry on charges of cheatin', lyin' and runnin' around. President Clinton answers questions from assistant prosecutor Hank Snow at a preliminary Grand Ole Opry inquest. 'At some point, President Clinton must be made to realize that, just because he is the most powerful man on the planet, that don't give him the right to go honky-tonkin' 'round with every gal in town,' Grand Ole Opry lead counsel Porter Wagoner said. 'This country was built upon the unshakable principle that your cheatin' heart will tell on you, a principle for which the president has displayed a whole bushel of disregard.' Wagoner has been empowered under a special provision of the Acuff-Rose Act to investigate possible presidential wrongdoings, including allegations that Clinton had an affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky and subsequently asked her to lie about it under oath. Clinton, who has denied the accusation, claimed exemption from testifying under executive privilege, a move many Opry members view as Clinton 'gittin' above his raisin'' and 'actin' all high-hat on the American people.' 'Prosecutor Wagoner has informed me that President Clinton has been seen riding around town, kickin' up his heels, leavin' his wife Hillary at home with a handful of bills,' Tennessee Sen. George Jones (R-Twitty City) said. 'If true, this would represent a serious moral failure on the part of the president and a significant breach of trust between him and the American people. Now, here's Roy Clark.' Wagoner asserted that his case against Clinton is 'not one hoot' weakened by Judge Susan Webber-Wright's dismissal of the Paula Jones suit. 'My report to the Opry will contain a wide range of evidence demonstrating a long history of sexual misconduct on the part of the president. And we ain't talking about just some single, isolated incident in which he done a good girl bad, neither,' Wagoner said. 'We're talking 'bout a man who, for years, has done his woman wrong, and I will not rest until I put a stop to his low-down ways.' Added Wagoner: 'This here prosecution is brought to you courtesy of the fine people at Goody's Headache Powder.' Wagoner said he can provide the Opry with hard evidence that Clinton accessed confidential FBI background files on Republican Party officials; falsified tax records which may have implicated shine-runners and whiskey-trippers in the Whitewater real-estate venture; and, while campaigning for president in 1992, shot a man in Reno, NV, 'just to watch him die.' According to Opry officials, for all the diverse evidence Wagoner has collected, his inquiry will likely focus on the Monica Lewinsky affair. 'These here are serious matters,' said Opry veteran Hank Williams, Jr. 'Even if Miss Lewinsky let the stars get in her eyes and the moon steal her heart, Clinton may be guilty of talking out'n both sides of his mouth. My old dad himself ruled that, once a man got hitched, he had to throw his old date book over the fence, buy a new one for five or ten cents, keep it 'til it's covered with age, and write his wife's name on every page. Fifty years later, I stand by my daddy's words.' Longtime Opry insider Charles Louvin, of the influential Nashville family firm of Louvin, Louvin, Delmore & Carter, agreed. 'The President of the United States should be held to the highest moral standard. He shouldn't smoke and shouldn't chew. And he shouldn't go with the girls that do,' Louvin said. 'But right now, the American people wouldn't be surprised if Clinton had a girl in the Cumberland gap, and her with a kid what calls him Pap.' Louvin further speculated that Clinton's long history of wrongdoing may represent conclusive proof that Satan is real. Clinton said he will fully cooperate with Grand Ole Opry investigators, expressing a desire to 'bring matters to a quick resolution and get on with the business of running this country.' If he is found guilty, it will represent the Opry's first ruling against a sitting president since 1974, when the Cash-Haggard Commission found Richard Nixon guilty of being a dirty old egg-sucking dog. 
3	Teen Interviews Navy Vet Who Was Pulled Over By SWAT TankAmanda Warren Heres the original video with the interview down below. You can read the original story at Photography Is Not a Crime (PINAC): It is quite obvious why the tank pulled him over. The condescension alone is sickening, and this department should be replaced. One wonders whether the officer would like to have false accusations thrown at him from behind a tank such as the status of his mental health or whether or not something is being compensated for. Before letting Jewell go, the deputy who has compelled him to stop recording, eviscerates him some more by talking to him not only as a daddy but as a drill sergeant. He forces Jewell to answer yes to his chiding questions (which are aimed at submission) and insults him further by accusing his girlfriend of performing sex acts all while Jewell was driving and giving the bird. He forces him to agree like a twisted Dale Carnegie out of hell. He graciously allows him to escape charges for fellatio are charges even possible for that? And do you want this in your neighborhood?? It is menacing and unacceptable to be paying for this shit. Use the contact below to let the Sheriffs department know that this is not wartime on Americans. That Americans are flipping the bill and paying fines and tickets. This treatment is unacceptable and is usually seen against enemies in occupied territories. Andrew Demeter of Teen Take caught up with Jewell for the following interview to ask him about what happened: According to PINAC, you can call the Alachua County Sheriff Sadie Darnell at (866) 273-5910 or leave a comment on the departments Facebook page.

3	Trillion Dollar Coin Reveals the Monetary System in Death ThroesEric Blair First, for those not familiar with the trillion dollar coin; the idea is that the U.S. Treasury can coin any monetary value they want for whatever purpose they choose. In this case the idea has been floated to Obama to avert the mandatory raising of the debt ceiling by coining a trillion dollar coin. In other words, Obama can use the coin to pay off a trillion in debt to allow an increase in federal spending without Congress approval. Some economists argue that it is essentially creating more money out of thin air and thus will cause inflation. Other economists claim that since no new money is being put into circulation, no inflation will result. So whos right? In both these cases unnatural (not free market) amounts of money were injected directly into those sectors of the economy and the result was massive inflation. Put another way, there was a rapid expansion in the supply of money to those industries. Housing Bubble: With restrictions loosened on the banks and the government guaranteeing loans, incredible amounts of easy subprime money flooded the real estate market in the mid-1990s resulting in an unprecedented increase in property prices until the bubble popped in 2007. College Tuition Bubble: Since the US government took over student loans from the free market and made them readily available to any warm body who desired to go to college, the price of tuition exploded compared to the general rate of inflation due to new but previously nonexistent demand. But, you may ask, the Fed has been printing incredible amounts of money including trillions in bailouts, so why havent we seen runaway inflation in the overall economy? The answer is that that money never reached the real economy. It was just absorbed by toxic paper and used to scrub the books at the banks. Sure, some of that money crept into the economy (mostly in the form of banker bonuses) and some inflation has occurred from the bailouts. This is the concept behind why the trillion dollar coin will not cause inflation; because it will simply be absorbed by the governments toxic debt and not enter the real economy. However, the purpose of the coin is to allow the government to increase spending by a larger margin than they previously would be permitted, thus eventually resulting in inflation when that new money is spent. In summary, bailouts of debt do not cause inflation by themselves; spending of new money into the real economy causes inflation. That is why they cant directly bailout the people without causing massive inflation. Supporters of big government spending like Paul Krugman hail the coin as a creative way to solve the debt ceiling problem. Meanwhile, deficit and inflation hawks call the idea stupid and point to inflation. Interestingly, during the last debt ceiling debate, leading inflation hawk Ron Paul proposed a similarly creative solution that received far less attention. Paul suggested that the Federal Reserve just write off their nearly $2-trillion part of the national debt that they hold. Paul stated that since the Fed is our central bank we essentially owe the money to ourselves. Funny, I dont remember any Austrian economists calling Pauls idea stupid even though it accomplished the exact same thing that the trillion dollar coin does. In truth Pauls idea was more about revealing the Ponzi nature of the monetary system and the true nature of the Fed than as an actual solution. Both cases of the coin or a Fed write-off reveal the fraudulent nature of the so-called debt crisis or even the urgency in having to raise taxes. If these tools exist, why do we need to pay taxes at all? That is an important question Michael Snyder addressed in a recent article. The point is that our monetary system in relation to government spending is so broken that fringe ideas like the trillion dollar coin are actually being taken seriously. It represents a signpost of approaching monetary reform. Yet the motivation is to allow even more government spending, which is in just as much need of reform as the monetary system. We cant fix one without the other. Most of all, the trillion dollar coin represents an opportunity for the public to learn how phony the entire system is; that crises arent really crises at all, and that austerity is unnecessary enslavement. When that sinks in people may begin to wonder why the monetary system works the way it does and what it could be replaced with. Read more articles by Eric Blair Here. 
2	Man Risks Everything In Attempt To Prove A Physical Law In Science Andreas Wahl, a Norwegian physicist, is known for doing crazy things in attempting to test science. This time was no less extreme. Wahl set up a system where he was hanging at a height of 45 feet from a rope that was connected to a pole. When he disconnected the rope, he went shooting down. His point was to prove that as things go toward a central point, they rotate faster. Because the rope rotated faster and faster around the pole, it slowed his fall right before hitting the ground. This is called centripetal force and its the reason that Andreas Wahl is still living today. Do you think this was cool or dangerous?

2	BREAKING: How Hillary Clinton Could Still Win The 2016 Election Liberals were outraged when Donald Trump said he could not guarantee he would support Hillary Clinton if she won the election. Now that Donald Trump won by a landslide, they are quickly changing their tune. In fact, liberals are still fighting to get Clinton in the White House. The terrifying part? Theres a chance it could happen. Even though Donald Trump dominated the electoral vote 290 to 228, Clinton won the popular vote by 200,000. That may sound like Trump has it in the bag, but the result isnt officially locked down until members of the Electoral College actually get together and cast their ballots on December 19. That gives individual electors the power to go against the electoral state vote. For example, if a liberal leader decides they dont like the fact that their state turned red, they could cast a vote for Hillary or simply abstain from voting. In this case, they would be labeled as faithless electors. There is a slim chance of this happening, but it is not completely unheard of. According to reports, there have been 157 faithless electors since the electoral college was first founded. Of these, 82 changed their vote because of personal preference, 3 dropped their vote entirely and 71 changed their vote because of a death. One important thing to note is that all of these faithless electors have failed to have an impact on the outcome of the election. But Clinton lobbyists are pushing hard; a petition recently popped up on Change.org encouraging electors to throw out a Trump presidency. With the corruption weve seen in this election thus far, this is not a possibility we can entirely discount. A Clinton presidency would be a disaster, and Trump still needs all the support we can give him. 
3	Prison Labor is Industrys Best Kept Secret in Outsourcing and What Has Killed Your JobMac Slavo The realities of globalization have made the price of labor somewhere between rock bottom and worthless. Since the days of NAFTA, the WTO and a flood of cheap Chinese goods, major corporations American-based and all the rest have offshored production, taking advantage of virtual slave labor and the only edge that this kind of competition brings. But now, American companies are taking advantage of something better than low-wage offshore labor straightforward prison labor may be the best of both worlds for mega-corporations. Dont think they see it that way? Now they are proud of it. Just see this promotional video: They boast the advantages of domestic contact centers at offshore prices. It just isnt fashionable to call it slave labor anymore. Bad news for the honest, law abiding worker. Of course, the inmates arent getting rich. They work for pennies which gradually go towards heavy fines and fees levied on inmates inside the private prison system that must be repaid, along with the time they are doing. This treasure trove of privatized slavery is managed by UNICOR, a government corporation managed under the Federal Prison Industries, who are officially dedicated to employing inmates across the U.S. and providing them the job skills needed to succeed in life. Ludicrously, the program promises benefits to the prison workers too, offering them job skills and experience for jobs that wont exist outside of prison because they are directed through the corrections system. The Intercept writes: Thats the message of Unicor, also known as Federal Prison Industries, a government-owned corporation that employs federal workers for as little as 23 cents an hour to manufacture military uniforms, furniture, electronics and other products. [] Whats more, businesses that partner with FPI are organized and regularly lobby the government on prison-related issues. Their trade group, the Correctional Vendors Association, lobbied Congress last year on the Justice Safety Valve Act, a bipartisan bill giving judges the power to impose a sentence below the mandatory minimum, including in drug-related cases. The entire program allows companies including Victorias Secret, IBM, Motorola, Microsoft, Boeing, ATT, Texas Instrument, Revlon, Macys, Target Stores, Nortel, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Nordstrom, Eddie Bauer, Compaq, and Honeywell to exploit inmates while shafting middle class workers across the country. Then, the products from these giants businesses in turn drown out any meaningful competition with rock-bottom prices that no mom-and-pop or honest business could match. Not only is it a shame that this has become reality, but that those running the system are proud enough of it to advertise it as the industrys best kept secret. How many other dark secrets are lurking behind the stagnant and hopeless job economy? Dont bother asking, just keep on buying up cheap plastic goods and reaching for a government handout. Yeah the good life? You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this article first appeared.

'Boy, the Romney campaign really knows how to throw an insane party,' said 26-year-old South Beach resident Anthony de Silva, recalling how crazy the crowd went when Romney's old friend Tisto showed up to spin an impromptu neo-trance set. 'At one pointI think it was around four in the morningI saw Romney himself with a pacifier in his mouth, waving around a pair of glow sticks and shuffling like he was possessed by some kind of demon. I really hope he wins the nomination in August.'

3	UK Follows Americas Lead by Testing Drones in Civilian Airspaceselfnews Post However, this plan has actually been in effect since 2010, ashundreds of FAA authorizationsalreadyhave been granted within U.S. airspace. This has resulted in the quick ramp-up of drone bases and even domestic law enforcement operations on American soil. It is no secret that America and Britain are tightly joined at the hip in all manner of surveillance and war. So, naturally, the UK has announced its own test flight of an unmanned vehicle over British soil, which will likely pave the way for a full-scale drone presence throughout the region. Aerospace and Defense News is reporting on a modified Jetstream aircraft called The Test Bed, which was developed by the massive multinational defense contractorBAE Systems,and is part of a much broader plan for autonomous systems that has been named ASTRAEA. The goal to analyze andimplementthe technologies, systems, facilities, procedures and regulations that will allow autonomous vehicles to operate safely and routinely in civil airspace over the United Kingdom (emphasis added). There are currently similar programs to what has been accepted in the United States, and now the UK, in the planning and implementation phase throughout Spain, South Africa, Germany, Canada, France, Australia, South Korea, India and Israel just to name a few. (Source) It is clear that no country will be left behind in the commercial race to the bottom by corporate mercenaries to ensure that populations near and far allies or not are subjected to constant monitoring and the threat of random violence at the hands of the State. For America, it will be very difficult to combat the spread of drones at the federal level with a completely sold-out Congress at the helm, but there has been some resistance at the local level.

1	A bravely worded e-mail written by graphic designer Brent Quigley decrying his advertising firm's 'complete lack of managerial competence' and its 'utter failure to treat employees with respect' has remained inside the drafts folder since it was first composed on Dec. 4, 2007. 'I'm going to send it soonif not this week, definitely the next,' said Quigley, who often opens the e-mail, corrects spelling and syntax errors, and saves the changes before relegating the fearless letter back to his drafts folder. 'Actually, maybe I'll wait until the end of summer, since that's always a busy time around here. Also, after Labor Day would probably be best. I'll definitely send it off by October, though.' The courageous e-mail, which questions the creative direction of Dynamic Media and outlines nearly a dozen widespread grievances against the company, is addressed to Quigley's boss, David Rosen. Though the subject line first read 'Major Points Of Immediate Concern,' it has changed several times over the past eight months, first to 'A Few Minor Complaints From A Longtime Employee,' then to 'Some Thoughts,' and finally to 'Friendly Suggestions About Our Always-Improving Company.' Likewise, several passages indicting company officials for their ineffective leadership, as well as their decision to suspend annual raises, have now been framed in the form of hypothetical questions. 'When this goes out, there are going to be some real changes around here,' said Quigley, who after hearing about a series of unannounced layoffs in May added two exclamation marks to the body of his e-mail, only to delete them a week later. 'Real changes.' After staring at his computer screen for approximately one hour after the e-mail's initial completion, Quigley said he toyed with the idea of sending it that night, going so far as to point, click, and hold down his mouse arrow over the e-mail application's 'Send' icon. However, the 36-year-old ultimately dragged the pointer away from the delivery option, choosing instead to think things over and make sure every issue had been duly covered. Quigley said he repeated this process several times the morning of Dec. 4, twice on the morning of Feb. 15, and once last Tuesday before deciding that the responsible thing to do would be to 'cool off and sleep on it for a couple more nights.' 'The timing just hasn't been right,' said Quigley, adding that his boss has only forced employees to work late for three out of the last four days. 'But trust me, the look on Rosen's face when this eventually gets sentit's totally going to be worth the wait.' Quigley has since removed Rosen's e-mail address from the 'To' field of his e-mail, opting to leave it blank for now. With the number of times he opens, rereads, and adjusts the valiant message, Quigley said he doesn't want to risk accidentally sending the draft off before it is fully readya mistake he made several months ago with an e-mail to his now-ex-girlfriend. Quigley also told reporters that in the last eight months he has made several additional changes to the e-mail's content. For example, last March the word 'ridiculous' was un-bolded, in April it was changed from uppercase to lowercase, and in June it was omitted from the e-mail's first paragraph altogether. In addition, Quigley's boss is no longer referred to as 'Mr. Big Shot,' and a paragraph criticizing the company's 'nepotistic habit of promoting unqualified employees' has instead been replaced with a paragraph about how difficult it must be run a successful company. The daring e-mail has also been edited down to a 'tight' 150 words. According to Quigley, he has only publicly shown the e-mail twice. The first instance was to an old college friend from Florida, who encouraged him to send it right away, while the second, in February, was to his coworker Jeanine Toelner. Quigley reportedly sent a draft to Toelner's private account with a note saying that he did not mind if others saw the e-mail, but would prefer that she not check it at work, not send it to anyone else, and immediately delete it when she had finished reading. 'She agreed with everything the e-mail had to say, and told me she would probably draft one of her own to send with mine,' Quigley said. 'So now it's all on Jeanine.

What is even more amazing is that many of these plant allies are found growing in our backyards, and often sitting there in our refrigerators and spice racks, neglected and under appreciated. In fact, many of us use these daily, unaware that this is why we dont get sick as often as those who do not incorporate them into their diet. Lets look at a few examples. 1) Garlic with the increasing prevalence of multi-drug resistant bacteria and the failure of the conventional, drug-based model to develop effective solutions against them (nor accepting responsibility for creating them), spices have regained their once universal reign as broad spectrum infection-fighters with sometimes life-saving power. Garlic, in fact, has several hundred therapeutic properties, confirmed by a growing body of scientific research, which you can view directly on GreenMedInfo.com.[i] One quick example of garlics power, is in killing multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), which the mainstream media has termed the white plague, roiling the masses with a fear of drug-resistant (but not plant-extract resistant) they are made to believe they are defenseless against. Last year an article was published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal showing that garlic was capable of inhibiting a wide range of multiple drug resistant tuberculosis strains.[ii] The authors concluded The use of garlic against MDR-TB may be of great importance regarding public health. Garlics anti-infective properties do not end with MDR-TB, as it has been demonstrated to inhibit the following pathogens as well: This amazing list underscores how important it is to keep a supply of garlic close by! 2.) Honey bees produce a wide range of therapeutic substances beyond honey, e.g. propolis, bee venom, royal jelly, beeswax, bee pollen, etc., but this sweet, sticky stuff that we all love to dip our paw into occasionally, is the most well-known and most copiously consumed of them all and for good reason, it tastes great! But did you know that this sweet treat is one of natures most powerful healing agents, as well? Here is just a smattering of some of honeys more scientifically researched health benefits and/or applications: There are many more uses for honey than covered here. Needless to say, replacing synthetic sweeteners or highly processed sugars or high fructose corn syrup with a moderate amount of honey may be a great preventative health step to take. 3) Apples an apple a day does in fact keep the doctor away, especially cancer specialists it would seem. For instance, one of the most well-established health benefits of consuming apples is to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. The more apples you consume, the less likely you are to develop this potentially fatal disease. To view the 5 studies that reference this relationship, go to the GreenmedInfo.com apple research page where you will also find 50 other health benefits of apple or apple byproducts (e.g. apple vinegar) consumption which include: 4) Sunlight this one may throw some of you off, but sunlight possesses both energy and information with real, metabolic valueand is therefore a source of usable energy for the body and so, in a very real sense it can be considered a form of food that we consume through our skin by way of its built in, melanin-based solar panels. Not only does adequate sunlight exposure result in the production of vitamin D, a hormone-like substance that regulates over 2,000 genes in the human body and as a result prevents or ameliorates hundreds of vitamin D deficiency associated health conditions but sunlight exposure itself has a unique set of health benefits not reducible to simply vitamin D production alone. One of the more interesting studies performed on sunlight exposure, based on data gathered from over 100 countries and published earlier this year in the journal Anticancer Research, showed that there was a strong inverse correlations with solar UVB for 15 types of cancer, with weaker, though still significant evidence for the protective role of sunlight in 9 other cancers. Here are some additional benefits of sunlight exposure: 5) Turmeric quite possibly the worlds most important herb. Named Kanchani, or literally Golden Goddess, in the ancient Indian healing tradition, its healing properties have been deeply appreciated, if not revered for countless centuries. Turmeric has been scientifically documented to have over 500 applications in disease prevention and treatment. It also has been shown to modulate over 150 distinct biological and genetic/epigenetic pathways of value in health, demonstrating a complexity as well as gentleness that no drug on the planet has ever been shown to possess. As there are too many health conditions that turmeric may benefit to list, we are listing the top 10 as determined by the GreenMedInfo algorithm which calculates both the evidence quantity (number of articles) and evidence quality (human study valued higher than animal, and so on). Also, the number in parentheses denotes the number of studies on the database demonstrating the beneficial relationship.

2	Kentucky Parents Started Rehearsing Luke 2:8A Charlie Brown Christmas has been a holiday tradition for families throughout the country. The story is filled with Christian values, with one of the most famous scenes being when Linus Van Pelt gives a monologue about the true meaning of Christmas, reciting Luke 2:8-14. That line was noticeably missing at a Kentucky schools performance of the film for their Christmas production. The Linus scene, which is one of the most important of the entire film, was intentionally cut out. When Glenn Beck heard about the situation, he suggested that parents protest the Christian censorship at the school by reciting 2:8-14 at the point in the production where it was cut out. I would get together with parents and I wouldif I knew this was comingtake the script of what Linus actually says and I would stand up as a block of parents and just stop the show and just all of us at that point, Doesnt anybody know what Christmas is all about? And all of the parents stand up and just saying it even as the play is going on, Beck commented. In a turn of events, the parents actually Becks advice to heart and made it a reality. The event was heard throughout the country, and the Alliance Defending Freedom even got involved. ADF appeared with a parent from the school on Fox News to stand up for freedom of expression, and in support of Christian values. What do you think? Do you support what these parents did? Would you have done the same? 
1	VANIMO, PAPUA NEW GUINEAIn His first official statement since the July 17 tsunami that claimed the lives of an estimated 3,000 Papua New Guineans, the Lord announced Monday that He killed the island villagers as part of His longtime 'moving in mysterious ways' policy, calling the natural disaster 'part of My unknowable, divine plan for mankind.' The aftermath of the recent tidal wave in Papua New Guinea. 'Though the need for such a tidal wave is incomprehensible to you mortals, flawed as you are by sin, I can assure you that I had a very good reason for what I did,' God said of the disaster, whose death toll is expected to climb to 5,000 once the effects of disease, starvation and marauding crocodiles become known. 'Trust me.' Yahweh, whose unknowable purposes have necessitated, among other things, the death of 40 million Europeans from the Bubonic Plague, 40,000 Peruvians in a 1868 earthquake, and six million of His chosen people in Nazi concentration camps, said he was 'not unmoved' by the suffering of the Papua New Guinea flood victims. 'Of course I hear their prayers,' God said. 'I see every sparrow that falls. But it is My will that these prayers not be answered, and that life continues to be nasty, brutish and short for the majority of mankind. And My reasons are not yours to question.' Added God: 'Where were you when I created the Heavens and the Earth?' World religious leaders are standing behind the Lord. 'We must not presume to know the mind of our Creator,' Rev. Billy Graham said. 'We are, as He often reminds us, His flock, and He is our shepherd. It seems clear that the people who are criticizing Him for killing the Papua New Guineans have not fully considered the theological implications of the shepherd-sheep relationship.' God is standing firmly behind His act. 'I honestly do not know why He wanted those people dead,' Pope John Paul II said, 'but I have full faith in the wisdom and justice of His acts.' Despite top religious leaders' reluctance to speculate on the Lord's motive in the killings, many contend it was an act of heathen-smiting. 'I would never presume to understand God's plan, but it seems like more than a coincidence that these typhoons, tsunamis and earthquakes always seem to hit non-Christian countries like India and Bangladesh,' said Matthew Ellsworth, pastor for Holy Name Lutheran Church in Colorado Springs, CO. When was the last time a tidal wave devastated France?' Though a majority of those who perished in the tsunami were non-Christians, God did kill several hundred of His followers. 'I must have faith that the Lord will help me,' said Aitape Bulolo, a Protestant fisherman who spent 11 days clinging to the top of a tree while waiting for flood waters to recede and watching the hogs he raised feed upon the corpses of his family. 'I know my wife and daughters are with Him now in Heaven, and that He is sparing me for some greater purpose. This horrible tragedy has only strengthened my faith. God is love.' Upon hearing Bulolo's words, God said, 'I can neither confirm nor deny rumors of Aitape Bulolo's family's presence in My heavenly kingdom. Be content that it is one of the many mysteries of faith, and that I am always watching over you, albeit for my own unfathomable purposes.' 'And believe Me,' God added, 'never in a million years would you guess what those purposes are.' 
1	Bowing to pressure from alumni, students, and a majority of teaching professors of Florida State University, athletic director Dave Hart Jr. announced yesterday that FSU would completely phase out all academic operations by the end of the 2010 school year in order to make athletics the school's No. 1 priority. 'It's been clear for a while that Florida State's mission is to provide the young men and women enrolled here with a world-class football program, and this is the best way to cut the fat and really focus on making us No. 1 every year,' Hart said. 'While it's certainly possible for an academic subsidiary to bring a certain amount of prestige to an athletic program, the national polls have made it that our non-athletic operations have become a major distraction.' FSU's restructuring program will begin with the elimination of the College of Arts and Sciences, effective October 15.

1	While watching the NFL playoffs Saturday, local man Steve Gordon, who barely moved for five straight hours as he slouched on his couch, reportedly announced that the defense needed to be more physical and deliver punishing hits. Come on, get up, movejust smack em, said the man who hadnt even gotten up to use the bathroom since the early game. They should be flying around out there and slamming into the ball carrier at full speed. Lets see a little effort. The linebacker just has to shove blockers out of his way, rush up the field, grab the quarterback, and whip him to the turf. According to living room sources, Gordon expressed frustration with the lack of hustle by defenders and with the excruciating pain in his back, which he twisted awkwardly at halftime while attempting to adjust a cushion. 
2	US Senator Comes Forward, Releases Damning Evidence About Obama According to Kansas Senator Pat Roberts, evidence that the Obama administration is behind the IRS targeting of conservatives is out therewe just need to get past the whitewash that Democrats have tried to place on the information. On a radio talk show interview, Roberts told host Hugh Hewitt that he participated in the Senate Finance Committees investigation into the claim, until the Democratic majority ended the investigation. Roberts claims that the short duration of the investigation was all he needed to understand that the administration was guilty of the claims. Im convinced that even Valerie Jarrett was involved, the Senator claimed. I think this was White House-driven. I think all of the information at least that I saw leads to that, so we really have to finish this investigation. Roberts told the host that he is current engaged in a reelection bid. If we were to find supporting evidence, the administration could finally be brought down. This is pretty serious business, Roberts concludes. This is egregious. Were talking about First Amendment rights and freedom of speech. What do you think? Is the administration guilty? 
1	Disappointed with the way the nation has been managing its money, the Treasury Department announced Wednesday it had begun requiring citizens to seek government approval on all purchases over $50. 'It's not that we don't trust people, but right now we're not seeing a lot of evidence suggesting they're capable of making these decisions on their own,' Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said of the law requiring consumers to fill out a form at the point-of-sale listing the desired item, the total estimated cost, and the reason why they need it and why they need it now. 'If, for example, you are a 32-year-old woman deep in credit card debt, we are going to need a compelling reason as to why you need a vintage rotary phone from Anthropologie.' At press time, the department had denied Cleveland resident Jim Barnes' purchase of a Buffalo Springfield box set that he already had on cassette. 
1	Following Derek Jeter's 2,722nd career hit Friday, Yankee fans and teammates took a moment to honor the all-star shortstop for having 144 fewer hits than former journeyman designated hitter Harold Baines. Jeter, who reached the historic milestone in the third inning of his team's game again Baltimore, joined a pantheon of Yankee greats that includes Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, and Lou Gehrigall of whom share the distinction of having fewer career hits than Baines, a one-time winner of the Silver Slugger Award. 'This is a very special moment for me and for the entire Yankee organization,' said Jeter, who received a six-minute standing ovation, multiple video tributes, and hours upon hours of media coverage for being 144 hits behind Harold Baines. 'As a young boy playing baseball, I never dreamed I would someday be mentioned in the same breath as [Harold Baines], let alone reach the level of having [12 dozen fewer hits than him].' 'They called him the Iron Horse for a reason,' said Jeter, apparently referring to the retired designated hitter and sometime outfielder, whose 1981 Fleer rookie card is worth $9.99 in perfect mint condition. 'He was a hero. Not just to baseball fans, but to the entire country.' Jeter's 2,722nd career hit not only puts him in the company of Yankee legends, but also ranks him with an elite group of 675,000 additional baseball players past and present with fewer hits than Baines, who played for the Chicago White Sox, Texas Rangers, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox again, Baltimore Orioles again, Cleveland Indians, Baltimore Orioles for a third time, and Chicago White Sox yet again, and is not a member of the Hall of Fame. Though Jeter prides himself on his team-first attitude, the Yankee shortstop was visibly excited to step into the shadow of Harold Baines. After hitting safely to right field, Jeter smiled, clapped his hands, and raised his helmet to the throngs of cheering fans, many of whom sat through an 87-minute rain delay to witness their hero fall well short of Harold Baines' 2,866 career-hit mark. Baines led the American League in slugging percentage in 1984. 'I'm glad I can tell my kids that I was at the game when Derek Jeter [didn't come close to getting as many hits as 22-season veteran Harold Baines, who won his only World Series as a bench coach],' Yankee fan Nick Sullivan said. '[Harold Baines].' Fellow Yankee players were equally excited for their teammate, rushing the field to congratulate Jeter on successfully becoming a professional baseball player who has fewer base hits than Harold Baines, and only slightly more than Omar Vizquel and Bill Buckner. Even the team's principal owner, George Steinbrenner, who has largely avoided the public eye since the new Yankee Stadium opened, released a statement extolling his shortstop for taking his rightful place 13 spots below Harold Baines on the all-time career-hit list. 'For those who say today's game can't produce legendary players, I have two words: Derek Jeter,' the statement read. 'Game in and game out, he simply produces [a lot less than retired nonentity Harold Baines]. And that's why we are honoring this significant accomplishment tonight.' Born in 1959 in Easton, MD, Harold Baines attended St. Michaels High School, where he batted .532 as a senior and was named an all-American. He was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 1977 and would go on to a professional career in which he had more hits than Derek Jeter. Baines was not on hand to witness Jeter's achievement, and is presumably still alive somewhere. 
3	The Connection Between Big Food / Big Pharma and Nutrition PolicyKaren De Coster, Contributor Michele Simon, president of Eat, Drink, Politics, a watchdog organization, has produced a useful 50-page report titled, And Now a Word from Our Sponsors: Are Americas Nutrition Professionals in the Pocket of Big Food? This is from her executive summary: Against this backdrop, we must ask: what is the role of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND)the nations largest association of nutrition professionalsin preventing or at least stemming the tide of diet-related health problems? What responsibility does this influential group of registered dietitians bear to be a leading advocate for policy changes to make eating healthfully more accessible? Does forming partnerships with the food industry compromise such a groups credibility? And what does the food industry gain from such partnerships? Why does it matter? As this report will show, the food industrys deep infiltration of the nations top nutrition organization raises serious questions not only about that professions credibility, but also about its policy positions. Youll note that Simon, in her study, points to her friend Marion Nestle, a writer and author and long-time antagonist of Big Food, and a dissector of all things food politics unless it indicts government as one of the culprits. Make no mistake both Simon and Nestle are statists to the core. Neither of them have challenged how the Big Food corporate state became so omnipotent in the first place. The entire world of food politics in which they live, breathe, and swim is littered with the carcasses of government policy and dictocrat decrees. Still, they refuse to acknowledge the depth of the food politics for which they claim expertise, and they consistently maintain a position that their roles are to influence and change policy. Yes, policy = politics. They are self-declared politicians and they make a financial living off of politicking. On page 23 of the report, Simon describes how the annual AND meeting was akin to a junk food industry showcase. Then she goes on to say the positive aspects of the annual meeting were the folks hawking Meatless Mondays and the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society is another corrupt satellite of the government-pharmaceutical-medical establishment, and its mother ship, Big Cancer, is another quasi-governmental machine that profits immensely off of keeping people sick and uninformed. Apparently, while carefully studying the ANDs long list of Big Food and pharmaceutical sponsors, Simon neglects to mention the similar sponsors of the American Cancer Society. Additionally, Meatless Monday is a statist concept with government-public health influence, and various local governments often try to ram this down the throat of their local constituency. Near the end of the report (page 38), Simon backpedals and waxes poetically about personnel changes at the AND that are moving the organization along a path to change. She is setting the stage for the notion that the AND can revive its tarnished reputation (page 38). Statists like Simon are fond of revealing the evidence of gross misconduct and then ramping up an opposition cloaked in apparent principles, but always, they leave the door open for a future alliance and a potential consulting gig. This report has a lot of valid bark and recites much useful evidence, but there exists no bite whatsoever. Due to the prodigious influence of Big Food and its cornucopia of marketing lies, the entire Registered Dietician profession is made up of legions of hypnotized automatons who have been reciting the standard, politicized text for decades, while their helpless victims uneducated, sick people have paid the price in terms of their lives, whether it be quality or quantity. Dont expect the self-declared soldiers of food politics, like Simon and Nestle, to strike at the root of the problems anytime soon.

2	DieNew England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has always been an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump. He even keeps a Make America Great Again hat in his locker. He has finally come forward with why he supports Trump. Its not so much about the politics, but the fact that the two have been friends for so long. I support all my friends in everything they do. I think its pretty remarkable what hes achieved in his life. Youre going from business, kind of an incredible businessman and then a TV star, and then getting into politics. Its three different career paths. I think that is pretty remarkable. We completely agree. Donald Trump has accomplished more than most in his life, and he still has a lot in store for his future. Will you vote for Donald Trump for president? 
1	This week's 5 best-selling books as compiled by The selfnews Book Review: 
1	According to a new report released Monday by a panel of top economists and social scientists, the People's Republic of China will overtake the United States as the world's dominant asshole by the year 2020. The findings, published in the most recent issue of Foreign Affairs, support recent speculation that America's unquestioned reign as the leading super-prick may soon be drawing to a close, leaving China as the foremost shithead among all developed nations. 'We are seeing a changing of the asshole guard,' said Andrew Freireich, noted economist and lead author of the article. 'Although the U.S. will remain among the world's two or three biggest cocks through much of this century, we can now confidently project that China, with its soaring economic growth, ever-expanding cultural influence, and total disregard for basic human rights, will overtake America as King Prick Numero Uno within the next 10 years.' Added Freireich, 'It's the dawning of a new huge bastard era.' According to the report, China has slowly emerged as a massive fucker over the past half century, a period of egotistical growth unseen since America's booming douche years following World War II. According to estimates, China already has a slight lead on the U.S. in not giving a fuck about climate change. Over that same time, China has seen a dramatic rise in both its GDP and Shithead Index, definite signs that the Asian nation is developing into a cocksucker of global proportions. 'When you consider China's wanton pollution, rising militarism, and rampant overdevelopment, it's clear they'll soon be thoroughly out-dicking the U.S. in every measurable area,' international affairs specialist Neil Farren said. 'Not many Americans want to admit it, but as the yuan continues to get stronger, and millions upon millions are exploited as a result, more and more people worldwide will be looking to China, not America, and saying, 'Man, can you believe what an unbelievable sack of shit that country is?'' China's ascension to supreme asshole status is occurring at a much faster pace than experts originally predicted. In fact, many now believe that by as early as 2015 Chinese citizens will arrogantly strut across the globe disrespecting other cultures and shouting loudly while dressed in XXL 'Speak Chinese or Go Home' T-shirts. Prominent scholars claim that America's gradual fall from the upper echelon of international supershits is merely part of an inevitable pattern seen time and again throughout world history. 'All of the great asshole nations eventually watch their day in the sun slip away,' historian Richard Merriam told reporters. 'Don't forget that Great Britain was the world's dominant asshole for well over three centuries, and look at it now: a pussy-whipped shell of the insufferable, bullying jackass it used to be.' Others have posited that China's ascension may be part of a larger reorganization of the global asshole hegemony that could see the United States losing even more ground in the century to come. 'A country like Iran is obviously a pretty big dick, but ultimately it lacks the resources to be a truly world-class asshole,' Farran said. 'Same goes for Pakistan. But the list of abominable shit-heel countries competing for global prick dominance is a long one, and the U.S. is just going to have to get used to seeing countries like Russia and India mentioned in the same breath as itself.' 'Many Americans are going to be upset over the prospect of falling from that top spot, but that's the reality we face,' Farrar continued. 'Hopefully, the United States will find a way to grow and adjust to its evolving role on the world stage without acting like a complete and utter fuckhead about it.' 
2	Polices Response To 18 YThis Wednesday, there was another standoff between the police and an 18 year old African American. The police are claiming that the man fired shots at them and then turned the gun to this own head and committed suicide. There are some witnesses who argue this statement, saying the police killed the man. Either way, it is clear that the 18 year old fired shots at the police. In the video below, the mother is yelling, Dont shoot my baby! Right after, a gunshot is heard. This is why social media is going crazy over this. Do you think the police are innocent?

2	Trumps Daughter Ivanka Is Being Attacked By Liberals For THIS Sickening Reason Well, it looks like Donald Trumps controversial campaign announcement is having an impact on more than his businesshis daughter Ivanka Trump is at the center of the debate as well. While Trump remains the top GOP candidate and has received many supporters, hes also collected a heavy assortment of extreme opposition. Now, it looks like these haters have taken to attacking Ivanka on social media. When Ivanka recently posted a picture of her daughter posing by a fountain at Lincoln Center in New York City, she could not have foreseen the backlash she would receive. Instantly, the hateful comments began to flow in. The grandfather is an ignorant, unbelievably rude, big bully! one Instagram user wrote. Sorry, but he has 0 class, and all the money in the world isnt going to buy him or get him looking or sounding classy!! I hope the Mexican cartel ends this noisy stupid idiot! People went on to discuss how Arabella looks either Latina or Spanish, others called her a born racist. And some even wished death on the whole family. However, there were some commenters who defending Trump, and others who just criticized those directing their anger at an innocent child. What do you think? Are people taking things way too far? 
3	Israel Murders Gazan Health WorkersStephen Lendman Civilians are as vulnerable as combatants. Its longstanding Israeli policy. On August 7, Amnesty International (AI) headlined Mounting Evidence of deliberate attacks on Gaza health workers by Israeli army. Former prime minister Ehud Barak once outrageously called it the most moral army in the world. Its a lawless, ruthless killing machine. As a former prime minister, defense minister, foreign minister, and chief of general staff, Barak was complicit in some of its worst crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. Morality is not part of its mandate. Mass slaughter and destruction are prioritized. AI urges an immediate investigation of Israeli war crimes. Disturbing testimonies alone from doctors, nurses and ambulance personnel reveal a snapshot of overall Israeli ruthlessness. According to AIs North Africa Director, Philip Luther: Even more alarming is the mounting evidence that the Israeli army has targeted health facilities or professionals. Such attacks are absolutely prohibited by international law and would amount to war crimes. They only add to the already compelling argument that the situation should be referred to the International Criminal Court. Throughout Operation Protective Edge, medical workers were targeted, murdered or injured. Others were prevented from reaching wounded Palestinians to rush them for treatment. Jaber Khalil Abu Rumileh supervises Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital ambulance services. He described one Israeli shelling attack on his facility as follows: Then there were a few more hits. People were terrified. Patients ran out. Doctors could not enter to help the injured and remove the dead. Ambulance driver Mohammad Abu Jumiza is one of many Palestinian victims. We were on our way back to Nasser hospital, driving with the lights and sirens on as always, he said. The ambulance was clearly marked as such. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), at least two of its ambulance workers were killed. At least another 35 injured. Seventeen health vehicles were damaged or destroyed by Israeli attacks. Our ambulances are often targeted although they are clearly marked and display all signs that they are ambulances, said PRCS. The army should be able to distinguish from the air that what they targeting are ambulances. They know precisely what theyre targeting. Israel shot ambulance worker Mohammad Al-Abadlah multiple times. He bled to death. He was traveling in a clearly marked ambulance wearing his medical uniform. Colleagues trying to help him were also shot. Overall conditions in Gaza are catastrophic: Fact: Israel continues committing one of historys great crimes. Fact: Palestinian deaths and injuries mount. Fact: No end of conflict looms. Fact: The world community yawns and does nothing to help beleaguered Palestinians. Fact: Washington fully supports Israels killing machine. Fact: US tax dollars pay for death, destruction and human misery. Fact: A war on truth accompanies hot war. Fact: Non-combatant civilians suffer most. Fact: The vast majority of Gazan victims are civilian men, women, children, infants, the elderly and infirm. Fact: Israel considers them legitimate targets. Fact: Cold-blooded mass murder and destruction reflect official Israeli policy. Fact: Where things end, who knows! Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago. He can be reached at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net.

2	Devotion Proves Itself, Kenny Rogers Prayed To God And Is Now Being Honored In Perfect Way Kenny Rogers has been singing for a very long time. He has been a country icon for longer than I can remember. His voice is absolutely amazing and his character is its equal. Kenny has been the face of country music since he sprang onto the scene. He is a two-time Grammy winner and has had many top ten hits. The list is at about 120 hit singles and over 150 million albums sold worldwide. It is sad to say that Kenny may be throwing in the towel. His reasons are good, but it is still sad to see him walking away from the industry. Kenny is member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and he is no doubt a country legend. He is considered one of the most influential country artists of all time. Two of his albums received that award in 1986. Kenny has been the recipient of countless awards, but none have made him more proud than receiving this lifetime achievement award. Kenny is receiving the TJ Martell Foundation award on February 29th. The foundation raises money for organizations that conduct research to find cures for leukemia, aids, and other cancers. Rogers is unbelievably thankful to receive the award. Rogers is stopping his music career to spend more time with his younger kids and to restore is old faith. He is looking to enjoy life and not be traveling as much as he has been through out his career. Kenny will still go down as one of the greatest artists of all time. His reach goes beyond music. Kenny is a philanthropist, he and his best friend, Dolly Parton have been an amazing country duo for years and years. They are two of countrys legends and it is an unbelievable honor to have seen him perform lives. He is a real treat and will surely be missed. Kenny Rogers is amazing and deserves any award that is given to him. Are you a fan? 
1	Moments after the Nextel Cup Series came to an end following the Ford 400 Sunday, NASCAR drivers eagerly redeemed the points they amassed over the course of the season for an exciting selection of prizes, games, and candy. 'I knew that every lap was bringing me closer to that awesome BMX bike,' said series champion Tony Stewart, who used the remainder of his 6,533 points to get a shower radio, a wall watch, and a mini tape recorder. 'I could have gotten the inflatable electric raft if only I got to 7,000 points, or pooled my total with another racer like how Jimmie [Johnson] and Mark [Martin] did, but I'm pretty happy with the prizes I earned.' Wayne Anderson, who was forced to pick his prize last after finishing with just 34 points, was only able to afford 15 Airheads and four wax mustaches. 
3	Shock Medical Notice: We Need to Have a Short 5 Minute PRIVATE Conversation With Your ChildMac Slavo Apparently they think they do according to a new Michigan medical records access law which reportedly requires doctors to have a private conversation with minors when their parents bring them in for medical care. This is the notice Christy Duffy saw posted at her physicians office when she brought her 17-year-old daughter in for a minor foot injury. We are living in a new America, one in which officials and their subordinates will stop at nothing to control every aspect of our lives, as well as those of our children. They pass laws forcing medical providers to do their dirty work or risk losing their practice. They attempt to force parents to comply or risk losing their children to Child Protective Services. These kinds of transgressions against personal liberty are being attempted on all levels. In our school cafeterias children are having their lunches thrown away and being forced to purchase Obamafood pushed through by the First Lady via no-pay/no-food policies. If your child is diagnosed with a medical condition like cancer and you opt out of traditional medical treatment for fear it will do more harm than good or because of religious reasons the government can usurp your parental rights, take your children and force them to receive experimental chemotherapy. And,if it were up to the Justice Department, parents who choose to homeschool their children would be deemed criminals, or worse yet, terrorist enemies of the state. With tens of thousands of laws on the books and more coming, it is only a matter of time before the government will have given themselves permission to do whatever they like with you and your children. And if you disagree, protest or fight, they have a heavily militarized domestic police force standing by and ready to rescue your children by kicking in your doors and flash-banging your babys crib. This is the America of the 21st century. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared. 
1	Attending a corporate leadership seminar at a local hotel conference center Wednesday, area sales director Mark Nellis reportedly felt his heart stop when a workshop speaker asked audience members to take a moment and turn to the person next to them. Oh, God, shes going to make me talk to this guy, Nellis said to himself, appearing visibly agitated as he realized he would soon have to engage in an uncomfortable, wholly unnatural exchange with the stranger to his right, perhaps writing down a list of career goals or participating in some sort of management-oriented game. What if I have to fill a whole five minutes sharing something unique about myself? Fuck. I just hope she doesnt make us speak in front of the whole group about what we learned from each other. At press time, sources confirmed a wave of panic appeared to wash over Nellis as the speaker told everyone to remember their exchange, as they would be returning to it later on. 
2	BREAKING: Federal Judge Orders Obama To Release Docs About Hillary AND Bill Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and President Obama are likely panicking after a federal judge ordered the administration to hand over a selection of Clintons email exchanges with a federal agency to the Republican National Committee. According to reports from The Hill, the ruling came from Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson of the D.C. Circuit Court, and was issued in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the RNC. The organization sought communications between the U.S. Agency for International Development and those affiliated with the Clinton Family Foundation. Jackson was nominated to her current position by President Barack Obama, and reports at the beginning of the year claimed she was under review for a possible Supreme Court nomination. This is clearly not a biased response. The open records lawsuit specifically sough communications between USAID and Clintons top staffers during her tenure at the State Department. It also seeks correspondence among specific individuals tied to the Clinton foundation. The request followed allegations that the foundation exerted undue influence on the federal agency, whose sole purpose is to disperse U.S. taxpayer funds for international development. The order gives the agency until July 11 to release communications, along with an order to set a schedule for the release of ALL communications after that date. There is no doubt that this will hurt Clinton. Her involvement will be made public just a few weeks before the Democrat National Convention kicks off in Philadelphia. What do you think? Does Clinton need to be kept far away from the White House? 
3	GMO Study Broadcast: Russian GMO Rat Experiment to be Broadcast 24/7Lisa Garber French scientists at the University of Caen sounded the alarm on September 19 after publishing images from their study of tumors on rats fed American GM maize. The National Association for Genetic Safety (NAGS) researchers in Russia have publicly condemned genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and have declared plans to conduct an experiment which members of the public can see, allowing the latter to formulate well-informed opinions about GMOs themselves. These researchers will install web cameras in the cages of four groups of rats. This is a unique experiment, says project Elena Sharoykina, who is spearheading the project. There hasnt been anything like it beforeopen, public research by opponents and supporters of GMO. If the rats survive (those in the French study became infertile, just as many before them), the experiment will go on for five generations. The public will have to wait until March 2013, however, to see the effects of GMOs while the scientists work out the finer details, such as funding. The research is projected to cost $1 million, which the scientists hope to find in commercial sponsors, government grants, and even public funding. Sharoykina thinks its money well spent. We will have a chance to understand in what direction we should move, she says. If this research proves negative influence, and supporters of GMOs accept it, the next step should be a moratorium on products with GMOs in Russia. With Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in bed with Monsanto and Dowas evidenced in a number of political and economic maneuvers, not least of all the removal of 1 million signatures for a GMO labeling campaignits uncertain how easily the United States will end genetic modification practices. Researchers across the world have already provided ample evidence of GMOs harmful effects, including weight gain, organ disruption, infertility, tumor development, and the development of resistant weeds and pests. The push for change to natural, organic food and GMO labeling must come from the public. Additional Sources: Explore More: 
1	Having followed the media coverage surrounding his nomination to the Supreme Court, 63-year-old appeals court judge Merrick Garland reported Thursday that he is actually pretty uncomfortable with the number of political analysts who have been casually pointing out that he will die relatively soon. Over the past 24 hours, Ive read literally dozens of articles offhandedly mentioning how Im the oldest Supreme Court nominee in more than 40 years and suggesting that Ill be dead in the not-so-distant future, and, for me at least, that happens to be a little off-putting, said the centrist jurist, explaining that while hes fully aware how old he is, he would have kind of appreciated not having to repeatedly read such phrases as given Garlands advanced age, he would sit on the Supreme Court bench a relatively short amount of time, which hint at his looming demise. I understand that my age is relevant, especially because this would be a lifetime appointment, but Id ask journalists to just keep in mind how disconcerting it would be to see a front-page editorial arguing that you will not only cease to exist in a mere handful of years, but that, in some ways, this is a good thing because it puts a limit on how much the president can influence the courts direction. I cant say this has been the most fun thing for me or my family to read. Garland added that he was pleased, however, with the way political analysts were casually characterizing Senate Republicans as petulant children who live in their own self-obsessed world divorced from reality.

2	You Wont Believe This SHOCKING Proof that Obama Associated with Terrorists Obama has not made it a secret that he has a certain allegiance to those that believe in Islamist ideology. Although he claims to be a devout Christian, we all know that actions speak louder than words. Now, a recently declassified document has come forward through a FOIA request, and it appears that there still lies some truth in rumors. Although PSD-11 still remains highly redacted, key portions still hint at Obamas pro-Muslim agenda. According to Pamela Gellar: The President personally issued Presidential Study Directive 11 (PSD-11) in 2010, ordering an assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood and other political Islamist movements, including the ruling AKP in Turkey, ultimately concluding that the United States should shift from its longstanding policy of supporting stability in the Middle East and North Africa (that is, support for stable regimes even if they were authoritarian), to a policy of backing moderate Islamic political movements. Gellar also claims that Obama invited the terror group (Libyan Muslim Brotherhood) to his apology speech at Al Azhar University in Cairo in June 2009. The documents also reveal that the group is the same terrorists that were present when jihadists attacked our embassy and murdered Stevens and three other Americans during Benghazi. What do you think of these new facts? 
1	Area resident Helen Crandall, 44, was arrested by Akron police Sunday, charged with conducting an elaborate 'sex for security' scam in which she allegedly defrauded husband Russell Crandall out of nearly $230,000 in cash, food, clothing and housing over the past 19 years using periodic offers of sexual intercourse. A 1993 photo of alleged 'sex for security' scam artist Helen Crandall. Police suspect the groceries she is holding were paid for by her victim, husband David Crandall (right). 'It's the biggest scam of its kind I've ever seen,' Akron police chief Thomas Agee said. 'We're talking coats, dishwashers, jewelry, sewing machines, bathroom cleansersyou name it.' According to Agee, undercover agents spotted Crandall's husband handing her $50 in cash at approximately 4 p.m., just 30 minutes after the two had sex. Crandall then drove off in her car, returning home two hours later with five bags of groceries. 'That's when we made the arrest,' Agee said. 'After tracking her for years, we finally had proof that she was buying all those goods with dirty money.' During the arrest, Akron police officials entered the Crandall household and seized more than 150 items Mrs. Crandall had received from her husband over the last 19 years, including a four-speed adjustable food processor, 12 pairs of earrings, a matching sofa and loveseat, a box of two-ply kitchen garbage bags, and a portable radio. In exchange for these items, Agee said, Crandall's husband received sex an estimated 950 timesmost frequently in the master bedroom, but also in the downstairs den three times, and once on the floor of the sewing room. In addition to physical evidence, Akron police have collected considerable eyewitness testimony. More than 250 Akron residents have come forward to report seeing Helen and Russell Crandall together, and several said they witnessed Mr. Crandall flagrantly purchasing items for his wife. 'Sure, they'd come in here,' said Ray Greene of Greene's House and Home. 'I think the last time they got one of those box fans with the three settings.' Perhaps the most damaging testimony has come from Mr. Crandall himself, who on Tuesday told police that while the couple was dating in 1977, Mrs. Crandallthen known as Helen Steubendemanded that he buy her a ring worth over $1,000 before he could have sex with her. The first sexual liaison took place some six months later at Bob's Honeymooner Hotel during an all-expenses-paid trip to Niagara Falls. It was also in 1977, Mr. Crandall said, that his wife quit her job at Shippee Shoes in downtown Akron. 'Clearly,' Summit County prosecutor Andrew Dravecky said, 'after quitting her job, the accused began receiving money under the table from some other source: How else could she have afforded to not work? It's now pretty apparent that at that point she began supporting herself by providing a certain service to Mr. Crandall.' Crandall's mother, Bernice Steuben, a resident of the Valley View Senior Home in Yuma, AZ, is being sought for questioning in connection to the case: Police suspect that Steuben may have introduced her daughter to the sex-for-security scam after having used it herself from 1932 to 1971. But for all the evidence collected against Crandall, Dravecky said the case will likely be difficult to prosecute. 'Helen was very careful to cover her tracks,' he said. 'She even got her husband to put her name on the bank accounts and credit cards.' The Crandall case is not an isolated incident, said criminologist John Ohlmeyer, who said there are 'literally millions' of such cases across the U.S. each year that never come to court. 'This kind of thing isn't as uncommon as we'd all like to think,' Ohlmeyer said. 'A woman finds herself in a situation where she isn't employable. Or maybe she has interests like child-rearing, cooking and home-maintenance that keep her from getting a job. So what does she do? She cooks up a scheme to entrap a man using her body as the bait. It's frightening, but it happens every day in this country.'

3	The Disaster Myth Narrative: No One Panics, No One Loots, No One Goes HungryDaisy Luther I was recently doing some research about the aftermath of some natural disasters that took place here in America. I was shocked to find that the articles I was looking for ones that I had read in the past were pretty hard to find, but articles refuting the sought-for pieces were rampant. Not just one event, but every single crisis aftermath that I looked up, had articles that were written after the fact stating in no uncertain terms that the hunger, chaos, and unrest never happened. Apparently we, the preparedness community, are all wrong when it comes to the belief that after a disaster, chaos erupts and civic disorder is the rule of the day. According to experts it never happens. Panic? What panic? According to newspaper articles written after Superstorm Sandy devastated the East Coast and after Hurricane Katrinacaused countless billions in damage in New Orleans, people were calm, benevolent and peaceful. Heck, they were all standing around singing Kumbayah around a campfire, sharing their canned goods, calming frightened puppies, and helping the elderly. Yet there are a few examples stubbornly fixed in the popular imagination of people reacting to a natural disaster by becoming primal and vicious. Remember the gangs marauding through New Orleans, raping and even cannibalizing people in the Super-Dome after Hurricane Katrina? It turns out they didnt exist. Years of journalistic investigations showed them to be racist fantasies. They didnt happen. Yes, there was some looting which consisted of starving people breaking into closed and abandoned shops for food. Of course human beings can behave atrociously but the aftermath of a disaster seems to be the time when it is least likely. (source) Looting? Only hungry people getting food from unmanned stores. Who wouldnt do that? Beatings and assaults? Didnt happen. Disturbed people made these stories up for attention. Gang rapes? No way. You watch too much Law and Order: SVU. Murder, mayhem, and gangs of youth on the streets? Silly readers we just made that up. These statements all stand in direct opposition to the stories we hear from news sources during the crisis. We heard terrible stories from eyewitnesses who suffered from hunger, thirst, and unsanitary condition in the Superdome after Katrina. We heard about citizens being robbed of their 2nd Amendment rights by police after the crisis, and we heard about gang rapes, looting, and mayhem. Fast forward to Sandy where people were defecating in the hallways of their high rise apartments and digging through garbage to find food just a few days after the storm. As for the official response, who can forget the FEMA shelter that closed because of inclement weather? Of course the weather was inclement it was a freaking weather-related disaster! Mac Slavo of SHTFplan wrote of the unrest, discomfort, and mayhem after Superstorm Sandy ransacked the East Coast: For tens of thousands of east coast residents that worst case scenario is now playing out in real-time. No longer are images of starving people waiting for government handouts restricted to just the third-world. In the midst of crisis, once civilized societies will very rapidly descend into chaos when essential infrastructure systems collapse. Though the National Guard was deployed before the storm even hit, there is simply no way for the government to coordinate a response requiring millions of servings of food, water and medical supplies. Many east coast residents who failed to evacuate or prepare reserve supplies ahead of the storm are being forced to fend for themselves. Frustration and anger have taken hold, as residents have no means of acquiring food or gas and thousands of trucks across the region remain stuck in limbo. Limited electricity has made it possible for some to share their experiences: Via Twitter: At the time of the event, even the mainstream reported on the affluent East Side residents dumpster diving in search of food. Was this NBC report, complete with video, a work of salacious fiction? As far as civil unrest is concerned, the Twittersphere was jammed with people planning looting sprees in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. Those who were already of criminal leanings saw the disaster as a great opportunity. In the great North American Edit, however, these tweets are said to be part of the myth apparently they were just kids playing around. Some reports pooh-poohed the very idea that looters had run amok. Legends from the past? Every single extreme weather event in recent years in the United States has been followed by looting. As MSNBC reported at the time, looting during Hurricane Katrina was so prevalent that it took place in full view of police and National Guard troops. Residents described the scenes as being like downtown Baghdad as looters filled garbage cans full of stolen goods and floated them down flooded streets. As Forbes Erik Kain points out, looting and riotingoccur after most natural disasters, including after Hurricane Irene as well as Hurricane Isaac. Looters also targeted victimsof the Colorado wildfires earlier this year. Does this sound familiar? This revision of inconvenient history will sound quite familiar to anyone who has read George Orwells masterpiece 1984 (which was not meant to be an instruction manual, by the way.) In the novel, the main character, Winston Smith, worked for the Ministry of Truth, which was actually a department of propaganda whose job it was to rewrite any faction of history that did not make the government look omniscient. In George Orwells novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the Ministry of Truth is Oceanias propaganda ministry. It is responsible for any necessary falsification of historical events. The word truth in the title Ministry of Truth should warn, by definition, that the minister will self-serve its own truth; the title implies the willful fooling of posterity using historical archives to show in fact what really happened. As well as administering truth, the ministry spreads a new language amongst the populace called Newspeak, in which, for example, truth is understood to mean statements like 2 + 2 = 5 when the situation warrants. The Ministry of Truth is involved with news media, entertainment, the fine arts and educational books. Its purpose is to rewrite history to change the facts to fit Party doctrine for propaganda effect. For example, if Big Brother makes a prediction that turns out to be wrong, the employees of the Ministry of Truth go back and rewrite the prediction so that any prediction Big Brother previously made is accurate. This is the how of the Ministry of Truths existence. Within the novel, Orwell elaborates that the deeper reason for its existence is to maintain the illusion that the Party is absolute. It cannot ever seem to change its mind (if, for instance, they perform one of their constant changes regarding enemies during war) or make a mistake (firing an official or making a grossly misjudged supply prediction), for that would imply weakness and to maintain power the Party must seem eternally right and strong. (source) But.WHY???? So why the vast effort to expunge tales of mayhem and to make it seem like our own national disasters really werent that bad? Its simple. Those who live a self-sufficient lifestyle are a threat to the status quo that those in power would like to see. If you dont NEED them, then there is no leverage to force you into compliance. You dont NEED to go to Camp FEMA in order to have 3 squares a day. You dont NEED to give up your guns in order to have a roof over your head and government supplied security. You dont NEED to get some kind of chip implanted in your arm to be scanned in order to receive benefits like medical care, food, and even money. Self-sufficiency means freedom. When you can feed yourself, clothe yourself, shelter yourself, and protect yourself, you are far less likely to need to cede your freedoms in order to stay alive. And in a police state that is frantically trying to withdraw our constitutional rights, this just wont do. They need leverage. So the establishment has created a narrative that tells us what we are doing is silly and unnecessary. They are rewriting history even though we only lived that history in the past decade. Even though we know the truth of the matter because we watched it live, they are changing the facts to make us doubt our own perceptions. This narrative was created to make a society of anti-preppers of people who believe that all will be right with the world, the government is kind and benevolent, potential disasters arent really that big of a deal, and that preppers are stark raving lunatics. They want us to be perceived as extremists so that others are less likely to follow our examples. If they need a crazy bad guy at whom to point the finger, all they have to do is call someone a Doomsday Prepper. (Remember how poor Nancy Lanza was vilified after the Sandy Hook shooting last year?) If this civil unrest is not occurring, why is the National Guard called to keep the peace? Why are state police riding around on tanks wearing body armor? Why were the guns of law-abiding citizens taken away in the aftermath of Katrina? Which reality are you going to believe? The one that you witnessed or the perverted rewrite that the mainstream media is trying to push upon you for the benefit of their handlers?

1	A happy, triumphant, and visibly relieved LeBron James accepted the 2009 NBA Championship trophy from commissioner David Stern at a small ceremony in New York Wednesday, just hours after the NBA announced that it would be canceling the remainder of the 20082009 season to give itself, and sports fans, a much-needed break. 'On behalf of the Cavaliers, I'm glad I could bring them the title, but mostly I'm just glad I don't have to play all that basketball,' said James, who wore street clothes to the 15-minute presentation and left without taking questions. 'You have to admit, 80 games is a lot of damn basketball. I'm still tired from last season.' 'Cleveland fans are the greatest in the world,' James added before leaving for an extended vacation in Costa Rica. 'We couldn't have done this without them.' According to Stern, the decision to call off the season was reached by league-wide consensus late last week, when a panel of NBA coaches and front-office executives tasked with investigating professional basketball's recent dip in popularity revealed that the panel members themselves were experiencing general feelings of malaise, mental and emotional fatigue, and overall indifference towards the sport. 'At that point, it seemed prudent to give everyone a rest,' Stern said. 'We need to get people excited about basketball again, and it's obvious the best way to do that is to stop shoving so much basketball down people's throats all the time. I know that I myself am getting utterly sick of the game.' 'And naming the Cavaliers as the champions is just good for the sport, too,' Stern added. 'I look forward to their title defense in 2009, when they've had time to rest up from this short but frankly exhausting season.' Stern also announced that the WNBA would continue to play its current season, but was reminded by reporters that the WNBA had actually concluded its season on Oct. 5, a fact Stern said 'just goes to show you.' News of the NBA's new champion and abbreviated season was met with a combination of acclaim and relief around the basketball world, which has not had any time off from itself since a three-month strike gave everyone a welcome break from the 19981999 season. 'I've certainly had enough basketball in the last two weeks to last me a while,' said Cleveland fan Andrew Rappman, a regular at the Cav Shack, a Cleveland-area sports bar. 'It was really a great seasonthe Cavs only lost two games, and to see Zydrunas Ilgauskas named as Finals MVP was bittersweet, since he probably would've really had a great Finals if they'd played, and because I'm not sure he'll be back. Or me, either, actually, because I'm taking a break from hoops until March Madness starts.' 'I think this is just what basketball needs,' said Michele Tafoya, a former basketball reporter for ESPN. 'Less basketball. There are still plenty of great storiesIverson as a Piston, Greg Oden missing another season, the Oklahoma City Thunder winning only one game, and now the Cavaliers' first championship. I don't see how playing a couple thousand games was going to change anything.' 
3	Globalist Dirty Tactics: War Crimes Are Now OpinionsLines of human rights violations no longer seem to exist Let us dissect the roots of the evil behind the emerging global government. Let us begin by analyzing the globalists tactics and calling it for what it is. One observation is how human rights violations, which were punishable by death in the Nuremberg trials post WW2, are now re-characterized as opinions to be debated by politicians, paid attorneys and bureaucrats. When asked to justify the millions of deaths of innocent people that have occurred as a result of the illegal U.S./U.N./NATO global wars, and when challenged about the widespread misery, mental and physical abuse endured by those dragged into this war-filled world of horror, someone once casually mentioned to me casualties will happen, as if it is no big deal what happens to others. Strikingly, millions of Americans are not bothered by ignoring blatant war crimes that now stain the history and reputation of America forever, or the blatant violation of domestic and international war crimes and human rights laws. It is no longer uncommon to hear an average American opine on war crimes saying things like: Yes those (innocent) people were murdered but we got the bad guys, or oh well, thats the nature of war, or I dont believe those innocent people were murdered, or maybe they deserved it, or even they deserved it, they are all bad people. As we can see, blatant war crimes have now been washed away as just someones political opinion and we all know what they say about opinions, like the hole in the posterior portion of your body everyone has one. A war crime against a human being and humanity is still a war crime. No right-wing propaganda warmongering talking points or left-wing humanitarian support by invasion scheme can whitewash war crimes on any part of humanity. We need to dump the bogey monster that lives in our heads; the bogey monster that they systematically lectured us about in grade school to justify every American war of the past. The monster that lives in our heads is the voice of fascism and tyranny, for only an ideology of fascism and tyranny supports the unconditional payback and retaliation of people just for being labeled the enemy. Once we understand and recognize this dualism lie that permeates the minds of so many people, then we can see why we are so entrenched in the dark human experience that resonates from this mindset. We must understand that all forms of violence originate from this ideology of dualism. Dualism gives birth to other ideologies like retribution, atonement and justice which all have a place but in the hands of anyone other than we the people, these are powerful weapons capable of mass destruction on the human race. We as humans hold the capability to love and give life, but we also have the power to destroy. We face a dark hour of destruction; the time is now to call things as they are. Lets drop the false values, name-calling and propaganda lies that lead us to believe that it is okay to label and kill someone who fits into our engineered politically based justification for killing them. War crimes are not opinions; they are a clear measure of the line being crossed on humanitys survival. They are a strong indicator that we need to change what we are doing and that we are traveling along a very dangerous path. War crimes are crimes to be dealt with, and are a chance to exercise a rare use of positive dualism by bringing retribution and justice to the perpetrators of war crimes, and offer atonement to humanity. Bernie Suarez is an activist, critical thinker, radio host, musician, M.D, Veteran, lover of freedom and the Constitution, and creator of the Truth and Art TV project. He also has a background in psychology and highly recommends that everyone watch a documentary titled The Century of the Self. Bernie has concluded that the way to defeat the New World Order is to truly be the change that you want to see. Manifesting the solution and putting truth into action is the very thing that will defeat the globalists. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	Experts are no closer to finding a cause, let alone a cure, for Sudden Rookie Death Syndrome, the mysterious affliction that kills thousands of first-year players each year in every professional sports league, officials announced Monday. 'While we have made some progress in our understanding of Sudden Rookie Death Syndrome, the fact remains that players in the first 12 months of their careers are still at risk of dying without warning in the middle of a game,' said the introduction to the report, a collaborative effort of the NFL, NBA, NHL, and Major League Baseball, with significant input from the WNBA. 'While the rate of deaths due to SRDS has dropped in recent years, it's not uncommon to find an otherwise-healthy rookie lying flat on his stomach, dead.' To help prevent SRDS, teams are cautioned to make sure their rookies are physically fit, avoid environmental risk factors outside those routinely encountered in their work, and land safely on their backs when sliding, diving for loose balls, making desperate glove saves, or being tackled. Doctors said that out of the 37 on-field rookie deaths attributed to SRDS thus far in the 2010 NFL season, 31 were discovered facedown by teammates or coaches. 'Although we are probably still years away from ending this tragic phenomenon, it's important that we use what we do know to combat turf death, outfield death, court deathall names for what seems to be the same thing,' said Dr. Robert Nahlbaum, a sports-medicine expert at the Mayo Clinic. 'Proper nutrition and limited contact with airborne molds or allergens can be vital for players in the infancy of their careers.' According to league records across all sports, SRDS is responsible for .0543 deaths per 1,000 first-year players, and is four times more likely to affect male rookies than female rookies. Last month, first-round draft pick John Wall was found lifeless in the Washington Wizards training facility, just weeks before Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoywhose NFL career was only six weeks oldsuccumbed to SRDS on the practice field between push-ups. As more information about SRDS comes to light, coaches are reportedly doing their part to fight the disease. In addition to placing first-year players in a supine, versus prone, position whenever possible, team officials have been keeping an eye on locker-room thermostats, refraining from smoking around their rookies, and making sure rookies experience only minimal exposure to potentially toxic artificial turf during games. Despite the drop in deaths, most in the professional sports world believe it is essential to remain vigilant. 'Certainly we're not going to see a repeat of what happened to the promising young men of the 1974 draft, all cut down in their prime by SRDS,' said NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, adding that his league is doing all it can to work toward a day when no rookie will be found dead on the ice of no apparent cause. 'But to say that rink death is no longer a problem is not just ignorantit's deadly.' Officials admitted that denial of SRDS was still a real danger, one they attribute partially to the culture of toughness in athletes and coaches, but also to simple fear. 'We understand the thought of losing a player is unbearable, especially a player that young,' said Dr. Lisa Callahan, the director of player care for the New York Knicks. 'But saying, 'Oh, my rookies would rather slide on their stomachs into second base instead of going feetfirst'well, that's not healthy.' 'Believe me,' Callahan continued, 'if SRDS does strike, the coach who said that will feel the guilt a hundred times worse.' 
1	Acknowledging that she has the ability to forever change the dynamic of her marriage with only a few simple words, area wife Sarah Causley told reporters Tuesday that she already knows the single comment she will never be able to take back once spoken. There are a lot of things I could say that would be hurtful, but this ones differentif I ever said it out loud, theres no amount of apologizing that could make things right again, said Causley, who confirmed that she hopes she never has to use the remark, but stated that if she did, there would be absolutely no going back to the life that she and her spouse have shared for the past 18 months, from their day-to-day intimacy to their long-term plans and goals. The thing is, its always sitting right there in the back of my head whenever were arguing, and would be really easy to pull out if I had to. I know the exact wording too. Causleys husband later informed reporters that he already knows the one thing his wife most needs to hear that he will never be able to bring himself to say.

3	Its Time We Start Calling Civil Asset Forfeiture What it Really Is Armed Robbery by PoliceBy Eva Decesare Since late 2012, when Adam and Jennifer Perry were robbed by the Illinois State Police, they have been trying to retrieve their stolen property. It has been a challenge, however, because when law enforcers rob you, its not (according to them) a crime. The Perrys were pulled over for speeding on I-80 in Henry County, Illinois, on their way to see a specialist about Adams ear infection. When a police dog indicated to the vehicle (something dogs can easily be trained to do on command, yet something that police claim is probable cause to do a search), police searched the car, without a warrant or consent. Among Jennifers wallet and a suitcase in the vehicle, police found $107,520 in cash, which the police promptly stole. Law enforcers like to refer to such things as seizures, but since the cash was neither evidence of a crime, nor was it contraband, to use the legal term (seizure) is dishonest and inaccurate. Nothing illegal was found in the vehicle, and the Perrys were never charged with any crime. So the correct term for what the police did is armed robbery. (The Illinois State thieves eventually handed over the stolen loot to a bigger gang of thieves, the federal government.) And such highway robbery is not at all uncommon. It is standard operating procedure for badge-wearing pirates to simply allege that money might be connected to something illegal (like narcotics), and then steal the money based on a wild guess. In a direct, obvious violation of the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment, victims of such robbery must then prove their innocence in order to have any chance of retrieving their stolen property. The state thugs dont need to prove anything. Aside from the cash, police also stole the familysToyota Tundra. I even begged and said please just give me my truck back and you can keep the money and ill (sic) walk away from it. Still denied, Mr. Perry wrote in a letter to the court.You dont understand the emotional, physical and financial terrorism you have caused. In spite of being robbed at gunpoint by agents of the state, the couple remains resolute in the notion that they are not required to prove their innocence to get their money back. This is not Nazi Germany where you can treat people like this, he wrote. According to The Washington Post, one federal civil forfeiture program included almost 62,000 examples of direct robbery (over 1,700 of them in Illinois), in situations where there was no warrant, and the owners of the cash were not charged with any crime. When you have badge-wearing pirates routinely committing armed robbery against thousands of Americans, with no charges and no trial, it becomes undeniable who the Bullies in Blue really protect and serve. And it isnt you. Eva Decesare writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com This has to stop though I have to say when I read about this all the time I dont bring large amounts of cash with me if I had to for some reason I would avoid the pirate corridors, give them NO REASON to pull you over and make sure you filmed everything. If they keep you more than a few minutes to wait for dogs that is illegal detainment. As a professional animal trainer for 35 years I would also mention that I will be watching filming for the false signal from the handler. And you dont think that the camera in your hand will be mistaken for a gun and youll quickly end up with a police bullet in your head? Not unless you make a suspicious move. You can buy an inexpensive camera that mounts on you dash [everyone in other countries have them to protect themselves from false prosecution in accidents] that will record the incident. If they ask you to get out; you just announce that you will be filming [most are portable] it is on tape. If they try to delete there is recovery software or you can then switch to your live feed cellphone. Your word against theirs wont fly in court unless you have proof they are less likely to shoot you if there is film. Back in the day of me being a little green monster, wed get a heads up from PMO when the dogs would be coming through the barracks. My buddy and I would always be stocked up on pepper and put a large dose of it under our wall lockers before the dogs would come through. Since our room was usually the 2nd one gone through, this saved many of the gangs butts since the dogs noses were ruined for the rest of the barracks. Armed robbery is a felony. In most states you get to protect yourself with deadly force. I just dont know what else is going to work. Its not going to happen through the courts. Amen, Happy New Years! Thanks to spreading awareness. Back at ya! 2016 could prove to be an interesting year. Only 380 more days to go. I hope people start seeing there is no difference between the Rs and Ds ie Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. LOL make that 381, its a leap year. Privateers ! 
2	Trump Reveals Who He Wants To Replace Justice Scalia In a recent appearance on NBCs Meet the Press, Donald Trump claimed that if he were president, he would pick a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia that was just like Justice Scalia. Look, we need great intellect, he told reporters. We need, I think absolutely conservative. But the realI think the real plan forward would be somebody just like Justice Scalia. Trump also argued that his fellow candidates, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, are partially responsible for Chief Justice John Roberts, who was nominated as a conservative but ultimately upheld the Affordable Care Act. You look at where a guy like Ted Cruz pushed very hard for Justice Roberts, Trump commented. Everyone thought that was wonderful. And Justice Roberts let everybody down by approving Obamacare twice, he continued. I mean, he really did let us down. And thats largely Cruzs fault and the Bushes fault, because they put the wrong guy in there. That was a shocking decision. Do you agree with Trump? 
2	See What Horrendous Thing This Thug Did Because She Was Served A Stale Cinnabon Andrea Ann McCullough, a 33-year-old South Carolina woman, was recently arrested after she threatened to shoot everyone inside of a Burger King. The reason behind her rage? She was served a stale Cinnabon roll. According to reports, McCullough went on a verbally abusive rant after receiving the sale pastry. At first, McCullough approached the counter to complain, but things escalated quickly after she told that the fast food chain had nothing left to offer her. They had given her the last one. Initially, McCullough left the restaurant. She reappeared, however, several minutes later, which is when she threatened to shoot down the place. Her hand was tucked inside her purse as she made the claim, according to a witness. McCullough was arrested by local police, and ended up being charged with misdemeanor assault. She was released after posting bail, which was set at $10,000. 
3	Congress Just Authorized $1.1 Trillion in SpendingAnd Nobody Read the BillKimberly Paxton Please note my sarcasm. Its triggered by the recent spending bill passed by Congress all 1, 582 pages of it. Wouldnt you think that before authorizing something so massive that our members of Congress would have read it? Or at the very least, have hired someone to read it and summarize it for them? Nope. On Capitol Hill on Thursday, CNSNews.com asked Blumenauer: The omnibus bill yesterday, it was 1,582 pages, did you have a chance to read all the pages before voting on it? Blumenauer laughed and said: Nobody did! Nobody did? said the CNSNews.com reporter. Nope, said Blumenauer. (source) This isnt even corruption. It goes way beyond that. This is our elected representatives giving us the middle finger and then laughing about it. Because its all a big joke to them. They make salaries most of us can only dream about earning and they dont even have enough respect for those of us who put them into office to, I dont know, do their jobs! How much do they make, you ask? Members of Congress are paid $174,000 per year for their service. Some with special jobs receive more. For Example, House Speaker John Boehner receives $223,500. Then, of course, there is a budget for each office. Are you sitting down? Each office budgets between $1.27 million to $1.546 million. Congress has 535 members. So at the minimum, $679,450,000 is paid to run the offices of these people who do not care enough to read the bills that they are voting onin our best interests, of course. Almost $700 million dollars is spent on staffing and office expenses and no one had time to read a bill before voting yes and signing it into law???? And the member of Congress interviewed by CNS laughed about this? Incidentally, the bill budgeted 1.1 TRILLION DOLLARS for government spending for the rest of the fiscal year, increasing federal spending by$44.8 billion. I wonder what that extra money was spent on. I guess I cant ask my Congressman because he didnt read the bill. Related selfnews Post Article: Kimberly Paxton is a staff writer for the Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

1	Friends, family, and colleagues of 19-year-old U.S. Marine Alex Penzerton were saddened Wednesday upon learning he had been killed by a roadside bomb and was thus deprived of the life-changing opportunity a few years in the military might have afforded him. 'Alex was a troubled kid who really could have benefitted from the kind of structured environment an organization like the Marines provides,' said Penzerton's father, David, holding the flag the Corps had shipped home to him. 'I'm sure he would have straightened himself out if he'd just had a few more months in the service and survived into his 20s.' Also killed in the attack was 26-year-old Cpl. Damon Siggs, who sources said was in his fourth tour of duty and had really turned his life around with the discipline he learned as a Marine. 
2	Trump Receives Horrible News About Michigan Recount... Please Pray For Him Following the presidential election, in which she pulled in just 1% of the vote, Green Party candidate Jill Stein has been raising money to help fund a recount in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Her efforts were amplified when Hillary Clinton joined her efforts. President-elect Donald Trump even filed an objection to Steins recount in Michigan. The Michigan Bureau of Elections reportedly received an objection at the end of November from representatives of Trump regarding the presidential election recount that was filed by Stein. Under Michigan law, the recount is halted when the Board of State Canvassers resolves the objection, the state said in a statement. The board, which by law must resolve the complaint within five days, is scheduled to consider a resolution of the objection tomorrow, Dec. 2. If the objection is not adopted by the board, the recount can commence after the second business day following the boards decision. If the board adopts the objection the recount would be ended. Trump listed three main objections to the recount. First, he argued, Stein wasnt aggrieved by the election results. Second, the recount would prevent Michigans Electoral College votes from being could. Third, Steins application was never signed and sworn properly, Trump argued. Though his objection did stall Steins efforts, it was ultimately rejected, and some have criticized Trump for responding at allarguing that his objections make him look nervous and unsure of his own presidency. The recount started yesterday after Stein filed a lawsuit to push it forward. What do you think? 
3	Water Wars Loom Over California As Farmers Lose Thousands of JobsMac Slavo The recent warningsfrom NASA hydrologist Jay Famiglietti, based on satellite data of the groundwater supply as it is threatened by the ongoing drought, is only compounding the issues forfarmers who have already been driven to cut back production as water is rerouted to cities and industries. State leaders are embracing a full on crisis, and there is no sign of letting up: At a news conference on March 19, 2015, California Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon warned, There is no greater crisis facing our state today than our lack of water. In fact, there is no contingency plan if California runs out of water. Unless the situation changes, an all-out war for water is coming. The first front is economic. Thousands of farming jobs have already been lost, and many more are likely coming in the state that produces more farm-to-table produce, and in particular more organic fruits and vegetables, than any other in the United States. Many farmers have been forced to stop planting their fields, while others have found it more profitable to sell their water rights to cities than to grow their crops at all. Some pretty serious water wars have been waged in California for over a century, but the battle is no longer between just big cities like L.A. and the growers who provide the nations food. The new wars are being orchestrated and promulgated by the corporate masters of Wall Street and Big Agra. Attorney Ellen Brown, author of Web of Debt and advocate of banking reform, put together a lengthy article full of some pretty disturbing facts that prove water will become a disruptive commodity bigger enough to strip wealth, assets and rights in California and beyond. It seemsthat everyone will be fighting for the last drop: In Californias epic drought, wars over water rights continue, while innovative alternatives for increasing the available water supply go untapped. Wars over Californias limited water supply have been going on for at least a century [especially]between farmers and Los Angeles urbanites over water rights. [] Today the water wars continue on a larger scale with new players. Its no longer just the farmers against the ranchers or the urbanites. Its the people against the new water barons Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Monsanto, the Bush family, and their ilk who are buying up water all over the world at an unprecedented pace. Indeed, private companies have been buying up water rights, with major firms like Nestle bottling up Californias water and selling it as a premium on the consumer market. Industries and bankers controlling infrastructure are also striking momentous deals in the state and across the globe to redirect water to the highest bidder. Left behind? The food producers we all depend upon. In particular, California produces more organic produce than anywhere else around. Brown reports: Mapsindicatethat the areas of Californiahardest hit by the mega-drought are those that grow a large percentage of Americas food. California supplies 50% of the nations food and more organic food than any other state. Western Growers estimates that last year 500,000 acres of farmland were left unplanted, an amount that could increase by 40% this year. The trade group pegs farm job losses at 17,000 last year and more in 2015. Farmers with contracts from the Central Valley Project, a large federal irrigation system, will receive no water for the second consecutive year, according to preliminary forecasts. Cities and industries will get 25 percent of their full contract allocation, to ensure sufficient water for human health and safety. Besides shortages, there is the problem of toxic waste dumped into water supplies by oil company fracking. Economists estimate the cost of the drought in 2014 at $2.2 billion. What happens if they are driven out of business? Will organic foods still be readily available? With an eye trained on the depletion of resources and the swelling populations of megacities, former World Bank executive, Ismail Serageldin, famously warned the world: The wars of the 21st century will be fought over water. Those who have peered behind the curtain long enough realize that the major wars of the last few centuries have all been funded on both sides for the enrichment and concentration of power of a handful of Machiavellian elites. Those who can think beyond these concocted wars to the unconventional wars of the modern era will also be wondering: who is orchestrating these conflicts over resources, and who benefits? Where do the profits go? Christina Sarich, of NationofChange.org, writes: Numerous companies are poised to take advantage of the water crisis. Instead of protecting existing water supplies, implementing stricter regulations, and coming up with novel ways to capture rainwater, or desalinizing seawater, the corporate agenda is ready, like a snake coiled, to make trillions off your thirst. With discussions of vast supplies of primary water stored deep in the earths mantle and scientifically proven schemes to desalinate ocean water or capture greater amounts of rainfall, Brown charges that major players are ignoring viable solutions to the Great California Thirst, and instead focusing on the concentrated profits made possible by resources scarcity. The shortages thus far have already made the price of irrigation water jump more than 10-fold in cost, making it more profitable for some farmers with historic water rights to sell it to cities, in fear that it will be taken away if they dont sell. Meanwhile, Ellen Brown points out that California is not only set to restrict residential water usage, but is preparing to regulate ground water supplies in an unprecedented way that is causing outrage from farmers: In September, a trio of bills were signed establishing a framework for statewide regulation of Californias underground water sources, marking the first time in the states history that groundwater will be managed on a large scale. Water has until now been considered a property right.The Los Angeles Times reported: [M]any agriculture interests remain staunchly opposed to the bill. Paul Wenger, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, said the bills may come to be seen as historic for all the wrong reasons by drastically harming food production. . . . Theres really going to be a wrestling match over whos going to get the water, [Fresno Assemblyman] Patterson said, predicting the regulation plans will bring a rash of lawsuits.

You think limited weekend delivery is badyou assholes dont even know whats coming, said Donahoe, adding that Americans will literally shit their pants when the USPS reveals its upcoming fucking insane changes to midweek delivery schedules. I hate to say it, but you motherfuckers brought this on yourselves. Time and time again we gave you the chance to send letters and parcels via the U.S. Postal Service, but you told us to shove it up our asses, and now youre fucked.

2	New Trump Cabinet Member Takes Massive Stand For Christ Mike Pompeo, Trumps new CIA chief is unlike anyone we have currently in the Obama administration. He is a well-respected army veteran, pro-life advocate, and an evangelical Christian. And hes already established himself as a strong force in the national security community. Based on his recent speech at a church in Wisconsin, he could be just the man this country needs to protect Christianity and take a final stand against radical Islam. Muslims who think Islam is the only way needed to be dealt withthis threat to America is from people who deeply believe that Islam is the way and the light and the only answer, Pompeo told the crowd. These folks believe that it is religiously driven for them to wipe Christians from the face of the earth. The abhor Christians. He then commented on the Boston terror attack. Its been just under two months since the attacks in Boston, and in those intervening weeks, the silence of Muslim leaders has been deafening, he argued, before concluding, Jesus Christ our savior is truly the only solution for our world. What do you think? Is Pompeo a strong choice to help take down radical Islamic terrorism once and for all? 
2	She Was Taken Too Soon, But What This Country Legend Did Before She Passed Is EXTRAORDINARY Patsy Cline is considered one of the greatest singers of all time. Many have rated her the greatest female country singer of all time. Patsy gave us hits such as Crazy and Shes Got You. All revered her voice and her performing ability was out of this world. Cline changed the country genre forever, but would have changed it more. Sadly Patsy was killed on March 5th, 1963 in a Plane crash. Patsy was only 30 years old when she was killed in the plane crash that also killed her friends and fellow musicians: Hawkshaw Hawkins, Cowboy Copas, and Randy Hughes. Cline was flying home from Kansas City. Home to her was Nashville and she was ready to relax. For the days leading up to the tragic event Patsy performed at 3 different benefit concerts. The concerts were put on to raise money for a mans family who had been killed in a car crash. Patsy put on three amazing benefit concerts just before leaving this world. Her voice will always be remembered as one of the most amazing voices ever. She sounded like an angel when she would sing. The plane took off in rainy conditions and this was one of the main causes for the crash. The conditions were too much for the pilot to handle and the plane hit the ground at full speed. All that were in it were killed. Do you remember Patsy? 
3	World Bank Study: To Avoid Climate Doomsday, Reduce CO2 and Increase Carbon Taxes and African Land GrabsSusanne Posel, Contributor Alarmists like Jim Yong Kim, president of the World Bank, assert that lowering CO2 emissions must take place before the temperature threshold is crossed and widespread crop failures and malnutrition and dislocate large numbers of people from land inundated by rising seas. Kim is trying to coerce sovereign nations to adopt UN mandates on carbon emissions by urging world leaders to become aggressive with eco-friendly planning in developing countries to offset their impact on the environment. The threat of rising sea levels, a common tactic of eco-fascists, promises to limit the amount of fresh water access, cause drought and unbearable heat in areas not normally exposed to such extremes; as well as promote disease, while simultaneously reducing the amount of food accessible to the worlds population. Rachel Kyte, vice president of sustainable development for the World Bank warns: The kind of sea level rise we are talking about is going to make the process of urban planning and services to the poor absolutely fundamental. The race to heat resistant and drought resistant strains [of staple food crops] becomes fundamental. In 2011, at the conference for the Carbon Initiative for Development, (CID) the focus of under-developed nations was first and foremost as the BioCarbon Fund (BCF) was discussed as a way to give those nations access to agriculture and energy with sustainability in mind. The BCF is setting the guidelines for countries like Moldova to purchase carbon credits in a scheme to force governments to tax citizens for breathing. Since May of this year, corporations and foreign governments have been land-grabbing from third world nations to control agriculture. Nations like Ethiopia, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Sierra Leone in Africa have been pressured into signing agreements with multi-national corporations and foreign investors, allowing corporate interests to control agricultural land. The nations leaders believe that giving access to their resources will benefit their people; however, this is just another manipulative ploy to coercively acquire control over land, food production and securitization. The United Nations (UN) has enacted global guidelines on purchasing agricultural land from developing nations like Africa and Asia. The UN claims that to secure equality for the poor and disadvantaged, this international body must control their lands through the allowance of multi-national corporations and governments who will develop the land for agriculture and securitize the crop yields; thereby giving the UN control over the global food supply. The Copenhagen Consensus 2012 project has combined the expertise of Nobel laureates to define prioritization and economic principles to create proposals for international policy reform. The issues researched were: Armed conflicts Cost benefits and the allocation of funding were outlined. The expert panel spoke in Denmark to convince climate change conference attendees that these investment proposals should be enacted immediately. President Obama showed his support of the UNs African land grab by announcing that he has a $3 billion plan to securitize Africas food supply and agricultural farms. Obama wants to use Africa as a base for growing the worlds food supply, under his controlled initiatives. Rajiv Shah, head of the US Agency for international Development (USAID) praises the Presidents plan. Were very excited. It really is the culmination of years of effort on behalf of African leaders, on behalf of entrepreneurs, this Administration, partners in the G8 and many, many others including the private companies that are joining this private-public partnership. Andrew Mitchel, secretary of state for the UKs International Development department remarked: Governments cannot tackle this challenge alone. The skills, resources and financial expertise of leading private businesses will help transform African agriculture, giving poor farmers the chance to pull themselves out of poverty, hunger and malnutrition. To coincide with this new initiative, Obama created the Global Development Council (GDC); a new commission that is promoting global growth and expansion through international initiatives. The purpose of the council is to advance the US governments national security objectives: security, prosperity, respect for universal values, and a just and sustainable international order. Funding for the GDC dictates their policy with the engagement of financial partners and beneficiaries as well as stakeholders. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

3	Anonymous Taught the Internet How to Hack ISIS 20,000 ISIS Twitter Accounts Destroyed the Next DayBy Matt Agorist On Tuesday, the Free Thought Project reported on Anonymous taking down over 5,500 Twitter accounts tied to Islamic State members. Shortly after this victory, Anonymous published a Guide to Fighting ISIS Online. The release of this guide enlisted the talents of amateur hackers worldwide, and the results have been nothing short of phenomenal. The guide was published in an IRC (internet relay chat) channel by a member of the hacker group. That member released the guide, along with the following message. Instead of sitting idle in the [chat] channel or lurking around and doing nothing, you can benefit greatly from the different tools and guides that have been provided to you, he wrote. Your contribution means a lot and we encourage you to partake in all of the Ops activities if you can, the more the merrier. Instructions for finding ISIS-related websites 1. Get Python at https://www.python.org/downloads/ unless you already have it (Mac does) 2. Open Terminal (or Command Prompt for Windows) and type (without quotes) python 3. Now, this step requires a little explanation. Lets set this out neatly, shall we Copy the contents of the following link to your clipboardhttps://ghostbin.com/paste/oo4tb The contents of that link are some search terms that relate to ISIS and their content, allowing you to narrow down the results to specific ones Paste the strings into the Terminal and press Enter 4. Choose a couple of strings (3 recommended) from the list of strings. For this example we will use strings 3+38+46 5. Once chosen, continue in terminal (without quotes) print(str3+str38+str42) and copy the results 6. Paste the results in https://www.google.iq and analyze the new results To translate pages, it is recommended to use Google Chrome, which has integrated translation 7. Submit any valid ones to one of the channel operators and we will deal with the info accordingly As of Thursday morning, a reported 20,000 terrorist-related accounts were taken down. To back up their numbers, Anonymous posted a link with the tens of thousands of hacked accounts that can be verified. It can be found here. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=HXjgGiHp Of course, government trolls are downplaying the effectiveness of the collectives actions. Theyre not going to be able to disrupt operations or coordination within the ISIS network, said Denise Zheng, deputy director and senior fellow for the Strategic Technologies Program at Center for Strategic and International Studies. Its much more of an annoyance, really, I think, to them, than anything else. Apparently the Center for Strategic and International Studies has yet to realize that Twitter is the most powerful recruiting tool the terrorist group has. As the US government attempts to fight ISIS by stripping its citizens of their rights and privacy, Anonymous is giving a new look to the face of justice and that look is a Guy Fawkes mask. Perhaps America and the rest of the United Nations would be more successful fighting this deranged group of sociopaths if they would stop being so reluctant, and take a look inside their own ranks. As the Free Thought Project reported on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed many members of the G20 to actually be aiding ISIS. In fact, the US has an incentive to look the other way in regards to Pro-ISIS Twitter accounts, as most of them originate from their devout and murderous ally Saudi Arabia. This article first appeared at TheFreeThoughtProject.com Boycott Saudi Arabia!! So we can find their twitter accounts, but cant find the phones and laptops they are connected to???? Corp. U.S. Inc. so-called Gov. will probably prosecute the hackers for fighting ISIS / ISIL! They are much better at fighting ISIS than the US Government which has been shown up to be totally useless and perfidious ever since Russia entered Syria.

3	DARPA Develops Implant With Terminator Vision: Plugs directly into a persons DNA and visual cortexMac Slavo In the longer term, DARPA researchers (the Pentagons Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) believe the gene modifying optical technology will be able to restore vision to the blind and impaired, and replaced current conceptions of virtual reality, with an internal display that will provide vital stats and moreabout the target, err, object in view. According to CNET, the DARPA boffins are reportedly working on a device known as a cortical modem that plugs directly into a persons DNA and visual cortex. Not only does this unique device help someone overcome blindness or poor eyesight, it generates a built-in heads-up display (HUD) that appears right in before their very eyes. The implants create an augmented reality projection that appears like magic in your natural vision and without the need for helmets or special eyeglasses. (source) The visual overlay could be developed, as in the Schwarzenegger Terminator films, like an automatic panel of information that meshes seamlessly with the real world, or it could integrate interactive Minority Report-style panels, but internally. Regardless, the implications are fantastic, and perhaps, unsettling. Though it is hardly the first DARPA foray into brain implants, this technology represents a new breakthrough, as it requires modification toa persons DNA, an application of optogenetics that bypasses our natural visual sensory system and makes use of what is, for now anyway, a simple $10 devices that produces the LED-like display: The implications of this project are astounding, wrote Peter Rothman ofHumanity+ Magazine, who was in attendance at the event. First, this technology could be used to restore sensory function to individuals who simply cant be treated with current approaches. Second, the device could replace all virtual reality and augmented reality displays. Bypassing the visual sensory system entirely, a cortical modem can directly display into the visual cortex enabling a sort of virtual overlay on the real world, he added. Moreover, the optogenetics approach allows both reading and writing of information. So we can imagine at least a device in which virtual objects appear well integrated into our perceived world. (source) Researchers believe that, though still far from completion, this would make science fiction tech possible, even opening the door to telekinesis and telepathy: The possibilities go even further, though, Rothman said. The cortical modem could potentially make electronic telepathy and telekinesis possible, and could make the neural interfaces made popular by science fiction writers a reality. Those advances are still a long way off, however, as the cortical modem in its current form is still, in Rothmans words, a crude device. While it might be billed as an incredible cure for blindness, the implications for the military battlefield are immense. As many dystopic films and futurists like Ray Kurzweil have long predicted, these neural implants, modifications and upgrades are ripe for the making of super-soldiers, capable of making human warriors more-human-than-human and capable of givenautonomous robots and AI computers a lopsided advantage against conventional enemies in any conflict. Before you daydream about the cool visions of the future to be, keep in mind that the computer geeks have once again warned that the rise of AI and nanotechnology literally threatens the survival of civilization. A Global Challenges Foundation report was concerned about the extinction of the human race and a coming mass unemploymentof the human workforce: Such extreme intelligences could not easily be controlled (either by the groups creating them, or by some international regulatory regime), and would probably act to boost their own intelligence and acquire maximal resources for almost all initial AI motivations, suggest authors Dennis Pamlin and Stuart Armstrong. And if these motivations do not detail the survival and value of humanity, the intelligence will be driven to construct a world without humans. This makes extremely intelligent AIs a unique risk, in that extinction is more likely than lesser impacts. The report also warns of the risk that economic collapse may follow from mass unemployment as humans are replaced by copyable human capital, and expresses concern at the prospect of AI being used for warfare: An AI arms race could result in AIs being constructed with pernicious goals or lack of safety precautions. So what is closer on the horizon: the end of life as we know it, or the next big thing? You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared.

Since 2008 the entire financial world has been turned upside down. In late 2011 the Swiss decided to peg their currency to the Euro, in essence giving up their national currency for the debt-soaked Euro experiment. When the Swiss pegged the Franc to the Euro, the Swiss people sold their sovereignty to the European Union. Approximately 22% of the people wanted their sovereignty back and voted on November 30, 2014 to repatriate their gold and reclaim their nation. Unfortunately, the other 78% (less the people who did not vote) said they were perfectly happy being debt slaves to their overlords at the European Central Bank. Thomas Jordan, the President of SNB, was actually campaigning AGAINST the gold repatriation movement, which in light of todays announcement seems to be a contrarian move!! Why would a person vote against reclaiming their gold and then do a complete 180-degree turn against your own policy!!! This seems like it is going to have an ugly ending. Craig guides us through all the twist and turns of what has happened, why he believes it happened and what the Central Planners may have up their sleeves. What about all that gold that has been leaving the London vaults, 26 MILLION ounces BEFORE the end of 2013, the vaults were empty back then and China has been building 2,000 metric ton vaults all over China to be filled with something. What role is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization going to play in the upcoming paradigm shift? What do most of the Western world know about the tsunami that is virtually at the end of their block? How much gold and silver do you possess? Is it enough? Give this a listen and we hope you learn a little something as well as be entertained a little.

1	NEW YORKObservers from around the world report that they were inspired and moved by America's most recent attempt to hold a public election in accordance with the standards of a democratic republic. Citizens vote in embattled Miami. 'After all of the recriminations, infighting, and general madness before the election, the people of this fractured nation still found the courage to show up at the polls,' said Anas Salman, an Afghan U.N. official who was in New York during the American electoral experiment. 'More than half of America's citizensa large portion of them womenmade a valiant attempt to choose their own leader, even though there was no guarantee their votes would be counted. It was truly inspirational.' In the weeks leading up to the election, both of America's political parties alleged fraud in voter registration. Additionally, experts debated the reliability of electronic voting machines, which experienced problems in trial runs and leave no paper trail. Election officials also bemoaned many states' use of outdated punchcard machines. Considering such disputes, Salman said he was 'touched and gladdened' that voter turnout for the U.S. election nearly approached voter-turnout rates for Afghanistan's first popular elections in October, when 69 percent of citizens cast ballots. 'True, voter turnout in many parts of the world tops 90 percent,' Salman said. 'But it's understandable that the rate is lower in countries such as Afghanistan, where the government has raised fears of possible terrorist attacks at the polls. Our people showed great courage.' The last American presidential election, held in 2000, was also rife with problems. Myriad scandals arose concerning alleged fraud and ballot tampering. Although the Democratic candidate won the popular vote by a margin of half a million votes, the Republican candidate won the presidency with a strenuously disputed 537-vote lead in Florida, a state governed by his brother. 'Despite the specter of corruption in 2000, and even though the procedural problems which surfaced during the previous election were never remedied, the American people chose to put their faith in the system once again this year,' said Joseph Mtume, a Kenyan diplomat who traveled to Ohio to view America's democratic proceedings. 'You can't help but feel touched by the determination of these citizens who put their doubts aside to collectively participate in the democratic process. All this in a nation divided by war, where dissent is widespread and the rift between citizens has rarely been higher. It was truly stirring.' Carlos Cruz, an Argentinian diplomat who observed the election in Miami, said he was profoundly moved by America's democratic election. 'With my own eyes, I saw people from all walks of life waiting in long lines to cast their votes, and very few of them were turned away,' Cruz said. 'They believed in the democratic process, despite the existence of racial gerrymandering of the sort most recently seen in the redistricting of U.S. House seats to negate the impact of Hispanic and black voters in Texas.' Cruz said he was impressed that average citizens still participate in the 'current money-dominated electoral process,' even though legislators have largely ignored their repeated calls for campaign finance reform. 'Their wide-eyed earnestness was humbling,' Cruz said. 'Truly, my heart leaps up. I can only hope that, under such demoralizing circumstances, my countrymen would similarly rise together to try and make democracy work.' The multinational watchdog group Organization for Security and Cooperation sent 600 official observers to monitor proceedings, from countries as disparate as North Korea, Syria, and China. Many reported that they came away deeply touched. 'To see a country with such overwhelming problemsproblems that affect every last citizenhave so many of its voters feel that they can still influence their leadership... words fail me,' said Dae Jung Kim, a North Korean OSC delegate. 'Certainly, my report to my own government will emphasize this. I will recommend that my leaders implement such American election-time strategies and tactics as would fit the North Korean model of personal freedom, such as their elegant Electoral College and the inscrutable voting machine.' 
2	Crowd Attacks Man After He Rips Quran [VIDEO] Footage of a Muslim mob attacking an American man who ripped apart the Quran is now going viral, sparking mixed reactions from the American public. The man who ripped the religious book identified himself as John Williams. Williams claims that he is part of a protest group called Quad Gods. He practices what he calls confrontations evangelism and considers himself a dedicated patriot. The point of ripping up pages of the Quran was that we were demonstrating what god thinks about the Quran, Williams told reporters. We do this to get attention. We do this to lift the name of Jesus Christ, so people will know that our Gods way is absolute. What do you think of Williams actions? Do you support his message or is he taking things too far? 
1	The highly touted 'Internet Revolution' took another major step forward Monday, when Compaq unveiled the breakthrough Compaq Presario 6000, a $4,995 multimedia computer system that enables users to download files containing network-television programs and display them on a computer monitor. Joseph Ryback of Salinas, CA, enjoys an episode of <I>Home Improvement</I> on the Compaq Presario 6000. Ryback praised the advanced new computer system, calling it 'just like TV, only a computer.' 'Imagine watching TV at the click of a mouse, instead of a remote control,' Compaq director of product development Bill Welborne said. 'With the Compaq Presario 6000 and a few reasonably priced add-ons, you'll never have to watch TV on a television again.' According to Welborne, for a $49 monthly fee, owners of the Presario 6000 will be able to access network websites, where 300MB '.vid files' will be available for download. The downloaded files can then be conveniently viewed on the Presario 6000 using a special TV-dedicated version of Netscape Communicator 4.0, priced at just $89.95. A sound card enabling users to enjoy the sound that accompanies the downloaded TV images is also available for $349. 'Pictures, soundthis is the promise of the Multimedia Age realized,' Welborne said. Demonstrating the technology, Welborne stood proudly beside a prototype of the Presario 6000 as it displayed an eight-minute segment from a recent 3rd Rock From The Sun episode, downloaded from an NBC server in under 75 minutes. 'Please note that this is a television program,' Welborne said, 'but it is being displayed on a computer monitor.' More exciting still, the viewing can occur in real-time concurrent with the download, provided the user owns a dedicated T1 Internet connection. 'Yes, the image is somewhat grainy and limited to just six frames per second,' Welborne said. 'But the technology will only improve as 466 MHz processors with more efficient Pipeline Burst Cache and Accelerated Graphics Ports with 10 MB VRAM become standard in the consumer marketplace. And when they do, the images will be remarkably crisp and detailed, every bit as good as that of, say, a 19-inch Philips-Magnavox TV.' 'This is incredible,' said Wayne Messers, a Huntington Beach, CA, systems analyst who sampled the Presario 6000 last weekend at the National Computer And Electronics Expo in San Diego. 'I'm watching TV, but there's a keyboard in front of the screen.' Added Messers: 'There's also a disk drive to the left of the screen.' 'When I buy my 6000, I'm going to have all my co-workers over to view the first-ever Spin City episode downloaded from the Internet,' said Peter Rinaldi of Escondido, CA. 'I feel like I'm a part of history just buying this product.' The Presario 6000 will be the first computer to feature the forthcoming 550 MHz Intel Pentium III processor, with MMX2(TM) technology. It is this revolutionary new chip that will enable the Presario 6000 to play television programs on its monitor, a capability virtually unheard-of in an electronic device. As for the future, Compaq promises even more astounding breakthroughs. 'An even bolder technology still in the planning stages involves a plug-in computer peripheral featuring rows of metal coils which heat up when activated,' Welborne said. 'Once this device is perfected, computer users will actually be able to convert bread into toast. The future is now.' 
2	Obamas Newest Presidential Endorsement Will Make You Sick Once again, Obama has started to endorse something that most people stand against. He has started to show his public support for one of the leading potential candidates in the Presidential election in 2016. Now, Obama has been recorded claiming that Joe Biden would make an excellent president. According to Obama, Biden has the leadership that the country needs. He claims that Bidens experience in the White House has given him the experience that he needs. However, there are many people that oppose someone in the current administration staying in the White House so long. What do you think? Does Obama continue to display his terrible judgment when it comes to political affairs? 
2	Senate Overhauls Obama, Delivers Powerful Legislation That He Cant Veto President-elect Donald Trump hasnt even been sworn into office, but that hasnt stopped the Republican-led Congress from getting started fulfilling his visionspecifically rebuilding and strengthening the military. According to Fox News, the Senate voted 92-7 on Thursday to pass the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act, a spending bill of about $611 billion that will help to fund the military for the fiscal year. The bill has already passed through the House by a wide margin and will increase defense spending over the amount President Barack Obama had requested. The measure will also halt the draw-down of active-duty Army troops, prohibit the closure of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and give troops a long-awaited pay raise. In fact, the 2017 NDAA includes the largest pay raise for the troops in six years, at 2.1 percent, Stars and Stripes reports. With todays overwhelming 92-7 vote in the Senate, the NDAA has now passed through Congress with veto-proof majorities in both houses, a joint statement from Sen. John McCain and Rep. Mac Thornberry, heads of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees. The legislation marks another important step toward reforming our defense enterprise to meet current and future threats. The statement also confirms that the Senate and House Armed Services Committees will continue to champion the cause of defense reform in the new Congress. Is this a huge success for the future of our military?

'I told George that karate is an ancient martial art of Japan, not China,' Rove said. 'I told him that in China, many practice kung fubut I recommended that he stick to the more vital issue of relations with Taiwan and North Korea.' In spite of Rove's suggestion, Bush plans to ask Zhaoxing to 'do some of that Jackie Chan action.' 
2	Caitlyn Jenner Honored As Woman Of The Year Just Said THIS During Her Speech, You Will Be Sick [VIDEO] Glamour Magazine was the source of major controversy when they first announced that they were going to give Caitlyn Jenner, formally Bruce Jenner, the title of Woman of the Year. The nomination upset liberals and conservatives alike. Of all the women in the world, they were given the title to someone who used to be a man? I never in a million years ever thought I would be here, and Im sure you didnt either, Jenner said in her acceptance speech. For years and years, I never felt like I fit in anywhere. I always felt as an outsider. I never felt good in the male side, and I wasnt obviously in the female side. I was kind of stuck in the middle. But all of a sudden, after making this decision and coming out, it was by far the best thing I ever did. During her speech, it was clear the Jenner fully considers himself to be a woman at this point. What do you think? Is this still disrespectful to women throughout America? 
3	23 Percent Of Americans In Their Prime Working Years Are UnemployedBy Michael Snyder Heres a chart showing those in that age group currently employed (95.6 million) and those who arent (28.9 million): There are 124.5 million Americans in their prime working years (ages 2554). Nearly one-quarter of this group28.9 million people, or 23.2 percent of the totalis not currently employed. They either became so discouraged that they left the labor force entirely, or they are in the labor force but unemployed. This group of non-employed individuals is more than 3.5 million larger than before the recession began in 2007, writes the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee. Clearly, we have never recovered from the impact of the last recession. But lets try to put these numbers in context. Below, I would like to share two charts with you. They show what has happened to the inactivity rates for men and for women in their prime working years in the United States in recent years. In order to be considered inactive, you cant have a job and you cant be looking for a job. So this subset of people is smaller than the group that we were talking about above. The 23.2 percent of Americans in their prime working years who are unemployed right now includes those who are looking for a job and those who are not looking for a job. These next two charts do not include anyone that has a job or that is currently looking for a job. These charts only cover inactive people in their prime working years that are not considered to be in the labor force. As you can see in this first chart, the inactivity rate for men in their prime working years exploded higher during the last recession and then continued to go up even after the recession supposedly ended. At this point, it is hovering near all-time record highs. Does this look like an economic recovery to you? For women, we see a similar thing. In this next chart, you can see that the inactivity rate for women in their prime working years rose during the last recession and then just kept on rising. At this point, it is also hovering near all-time record highs What are we to make of all this? For both men and women in their prime working years, the inactivity rate is even higher than it was during the last recession and is hovering near the all-time record. All of these people neither have a job nor are they looking for one. So what in the world is going on here? Are they independently wealthy? Have these people found rich spouses to marry so they dont have to work? No, the truth is that the middle class in America is steadily eroding and poverty is absolutely exploding. Credit card debt has soared to a new record high, and 48 percent of all U.S. adults under the age of 30 believe that the American Dream is dead. The issue isnt that people dont want to work. The issue is that people cannot find enough work. And even if you have a job, that does not mean that you are on easy street. According to the Social Security Administration, 51 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year. Tens of millions of Americans are now among the ranks of the working poor. So many families are watching their expenses soar while their paychecks go down or stagnate. If you are in this situation right now, then you probably know how exceedingly stressful it can be. Just look at what is happening to the cost of health insurance. The followingcomes from Fox News Health insurance premiums have increased faster than wages and inflation in recent years, rising an average of 28 percent from 2009 to 2014 despite the enactment of Obamacare, according to a report from Freedom Partners. And I am not exactly sure where they got those numbers. Personally, I know that my health insurance rates have gone up far faster than that. Two years ago, my health insurance company wanted to double the health insurance premiums for my family even though we never get sick. So I switched to another insurance company that offered a policy that was only about 30 percent higher than my last one. But then when it came time to renew, that insurance company wanted to raise my rate by another 50 percent. Thanks to Obamacare, American families are being absolutely crippled by the cost of health care. And of course we are seeing the rising cost of living so many other places as well. Our paychecks are being squeezed harder and harder, and this is absolutely killing the middle class. In fact, the middle class in America is now a minority for the first time ever. And now for the real bad news this is about as good as things are ever going to get in this country. As you can see from what I have shared above, we never really had any sort of meaningful economic recovery, and now we have entered the early phases of the next major downturn. So where do we go from here? Unfortunately, our debt-fueled prosperity has provided us with a massively inflated standard of living that is not even close to sustainable. As this bubble bursts, the economic pain is going to be absolutely unprecedented. But it wont be just economic pain that we are facing. Inmy new book, I detail the things that I believe that are coming to this country, and I explain why the entire planet will soon be facing incredibly challenging times. It is going to be one of the most controversial Christian books of 2016, because it directly challenges many of the things that are being taught in mainstream churches today. My book is an ominous message of warning and an inspiring message of hope, and I truly believe that it is the most important thing that I have ever written. No matter how you may see the future, the key is that we all learn to love one another. The years ahead are going to be extremely challenging, and those who want to chase everyone else away and survive as lone wolves are going to have a very rough time. We all need each other, and those that have friends, family and communities around them are going to be in a much better position to weather the coming storms. So let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst Michael Snyder is a writer, speaker and activist who writes and edits his own blogs The American Dream and Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Did Clint Eastwood Just Die? After a year of controversy, rumors have been spreading about Clint Eastwoods death. Fortunately, those rumors have just been confirmed as fake.

1	SPARTANBURG, SCIn a clear case of retail irony, on Monday, Furniture World owner/pitchman Mort Neely appeared in his latest television commercial dressed as a clowndespite the fact that he is in no way 'clowning around' or otherwise treating the subject of low furniture prices with irreverence. Mort Neely, owner of Furniture World. Neely stressed that, despite his ludicrous appearance, he is in no way flippant when it comes to selling quality loveseats and sofas at a good price. The commercial, which aired on NBC affiliate WWBT-12 during an 11:30 p.m. Cheers rerun, features Neely standing in front of his store in a rented clown costume. Addressing the viewer, he states, 'My fellow residents of the greater Spartanburg area, it is I, Mort Neely, dressed as a clown. Before I say anything else, though, I wish to stress one thing: This outlandish mode of dress in which you see me is wholly inappropriate in light of my commitment to low prices on home furnishings.' Several Furniture World sale items are then displayed, after which Neely ends the commercial by urging viewers to visit the store immediately and not to wait for the circus to come to town. Neely, who said he donned the clown costume purely as a means of attracting viewers' attention, acknowledged having serious concerns that the commercial would send the wrong message. 'I knew there was a chance people would see me dressed in the clown suit and think, 'A clown is trying to sell me furniture. I would not do business with a clown. A clown would treat the very serious matter of savings flippantly, as if savings were a joke.' I needed to assure them that my reasons for dressing as a clown in no way reflected a casual attitude on my part toward the serious business of offering rock-bottom prices on popular brands of furniture.' Previous advertisements for the popular Spartanburg furniture outlet featured Neely dressed as a cowboy, an astronaut, and Elvis Presley. 'These personae were far less risky than my latest one,' Neely said. 'They projected an image of me as a sober-minded man who is deeply dedicated to his profession, which I am. Furthermore, the Presley ad enabled me to identify myself as the 'King Of Furniture,' and state that viewers would be 'all shook up' by the bargains I was offering, a prediction that proved largely accurate.' According to Neely, future commercials for Furniture World will feature him dressed as Sherlock Holmes, a caped superhero, and a space alien with comical springy antennae. 'I still have some reservations about the alien concept,' Neely said. 'I would hate for viewers to come away with the notion that, aside from the out-of-this-world bargains, my store is in some way otherworldly or inhuman. That is simply not the case.'

Islamic Community FURIOUS Quoting from the New Testament book of Philippians 4:10, the former Miss USA tweeted out: I can do all things through Him who strengthens me. It is not uncommon for devout Christians to share pieces like this, about overcoming life through Jesus Christ. But there is something to note in this casethe 2010 Miss USA winner from Michigan was a Muslim at the time of her crowning. In fact, Rima Faikh converted to Christianity just last month. Reports indicate that she is getting married next week to wealthy Christian music producer in Lebanon. The Muslim population does not take kindly to these kinds of conversions. Were sure they are furious with Faikhs decision.

Bush Will Make You Sick [VIDEO] According to recent reports, President Obama traveled to Selma, Alabama over the weekend for the 50th anniversary of the civil rights marches. He was joined by former president George W. Busha detail that Obama is going to great lengths to hide. According to the Daily Mail, the White House blog made the controversial decision to crop Bush out of the photos of the celebration. Instead, they posted only pictures of the Obama administration and the Obama family. This is a stunning example of media bias, Fox News contributor Deneen Borelli ruled, pointing to a broader image including former President Bush and his wife Laura. What do you think of the incident? Are you disgusted with the Obama Administration? 
2	See Obamas Response To Those Calling For His Impeachment For the past few months, President Obama has been facing criticism and threats of impeachment for his repeated unilateral executive action, without the approval on Congress. From lawsuits to public scrutiny, it seems that America has finally had enough of his self-serving agenda. Last week, during a speech in Austin, TX, Obama decided to address the threats to his position in office. Youre going to use taxpayer money to sue me for doing my job, when you dont do your job, Obama told the audience. Obama also took the opportunity to claim that his actions were not as bad as former president George W. Bush. Its not clear how it is the Republicans didnt seem to mind when President Bush took more executive actions that I did, he remarked. Left unanswered were questions about exactly what the President intends to do to control immigrations and secure the border. His inaction is what many deem an impeachable offense. Still, House Speaker John Boehner has confirmed that the House will not be pursuing impeachment at the moment. Instead, they will continue to move forward with the lawsuit against the president. What do you think? Is a lawsuit good enough? 
2	BREAKING: Obamacare Death Panels Have Arrived, First Patient Executed Today According to recent reports, a group of death panels organized under Obamacare ordered their first execution. Following a hearing by the presidents Patient Resource Efficiency Board (PREB), 86-year-old Dorothy Zborknak has been ordered to death. The reason? According to the administration, she is no longer useful. Zborknak worked at Fleur de Lis Florist in Chicago for nearly forty years, before she made the decision to retire in 1998. Since that time, she has struggled with a host of health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney failure. Unfortunately, the cost of her care just became too expensive, claims Peter Johnston, a member of the Chicago PREB. Under the Affordable Care Act, we have the power to make choices about end of life care and I stand by our ruling. I know it will be hard for the family to accept whats going to happenBut from a financial standpoint, this was a very easy decision. What do you think? Is this just wrong? 
1	Disoriented and disheveled Dallas quarterback Tony Romo, dressed in stained clothing and reeking of urine, returned to the Cowboys practice facilities Monday and told his teammates he would do anything to score more heroin. According to team sources, the visibly strung-out Romo dressed for practice with difficulty, walked up to his offensive line, and collapsed under center Andre Gurode before going into mild convulsions and breaking out in a cold sweat. 'Get me Popcorn Jones, I gotta see, see him, need to, please, just a little, you holding?' said Romo, rigorously scratching inside the elbow of his throwing arm. 'What do you want me to do? I'll throw a touchdown. I will, damn it. JustI'm fucking dying here. Anything. I'll suck your dick right now. Help me out.' Romo was dismissed from practice early for undisclosed medical reasons and is currently nodding off on a filthy mattress in the condemned tenement building where he has been staying lately. 
1	While stressing that he has no plans to mount such an insurrection, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Martin Dempsey told reporters Friday that if he really wanted to, he could probably carry out a sweeping military junta that would oust President Obama from power. Im just saying, there are seven joint chiefs, we all have extensive military training, and we spend a lot of time behind closed doors with the president, said Gen. Dempsey, adding that the more he thinks about it, the more he realizes that, if he had a mind to do such a thing, installing a military dictatorship wouldnt be all that difficult. There really are no insurmountable barriers to eliminating him, declaring martial law, and having tanks on the White House lawn by the end of the day. I cant say that Im interested in making myself the ruler of a 300-million-person police state, but it certainly would be easier to do than a lot of people think. Dempsey went on to state that the nations various police forces and local militia movements would also pose no significant threat. 
3	Homeless Man Loses Benefits For Not Reporting As Income Money FoundAndrew Pontbriand James Brady, was homeless back in April, when he found $850 cash on a sidewalk. James, could have easily pocketed the money and ate well for several months. Instead, he took the noble and honest route and decided to turn the money into police. After 6 months passed, he was awarded the money by police, as no one had claimed the lost treasure. However, Brady failed to report the newly found $850 as new income, so the system has decided to use its most technical authoritarian rules that underline the Socialist Status of America, by denying the man his benefits. Bergen Countys United Way has now set up a fund to benefit James Brady. Donations can be made through the charitys website at www.bergenunitedway.org/compassionfund/helpjamesbrady Feeding Homeless Now Illegal In more than 50 Cities across the country, feeding the homeless is now Illegal. One recent example was shown when the case made national headlines, in North Carolina. An organization known as Love Wins Ministries went out on the weekend to give out sandwiches, coffee, and other food as they did every weekend for 6 years. The Raleigh N.C. Police Department was there, though, to let the Ministry know they were breaking a city ordinance. On the morning of Saturday, August, 24, Love Wins showed up at Moore Square at 9:00 a.m., just like we have done virtually every Saturday and Sunday for the last six years. We provide, without cost or obligation, hot coffee and a breakfast sandwich to anyone who wants one. We keep this promise to our community in cooperation with five different, large suburban churches that help us with manpower and funding. On that morning three officers from Raleigh Police Department prevented us from doing our work, for the first time ever. An officer said, quite bluntly, that if we attempted to distribute food, we would be arrested. Our partnering church brought 100 sausage biscuits and large amounts of coffee. We asked the officers for permission to disperse the biscuits to the over 70 people who had lined up, waiting to eat. They said no. I had to face those who were waiting and tell them that I could not feed them, or I would be arrested. This goes to show the overwhelming tyranny that has come to this country. The case shown above is one out of literally hundreds that have occurred over the passed few years.

3	Who Are The Klingons?Clint Ward I was appalled at the idiocy I saw this last year on a commercial on T.V. It was for some type of reality show where the celebrities go through the rigors of combat. Everything was there except the guns and the death, how perfect. Can you imagine the aliens when they invade bringing that much more terror on a civilian population than we have been able to achieve already, perhaps. We are a warrior race are we not? Is not our history defined in many ways by war? Do you think we will treat any foreign life form with mercies and sympathies we do not extend to our own race? This posting is another perspective attempting to share my feelings and thoughts. I did not enter this contest to win a prize. I entered this contest because I was surprised and grateful that someone had the foresight to put on the contest. I entered this contest because I have children, family and friends in this world. If somehow I won this is what would I do. I would roll the winnings back into another contest, or at least attempt to, given this website or another was willing. Why, because this is what I fear, I fear that after this contest is over our gains will be degraded. At the present we have lots of viewpoints, ideas and information to digest. No doubt many of us are wiser for it. We have made an initiative and have profited from it. What is our next initiative, our next move? I read daily, much more than I want, information on politics, economics and social issues. Issues that in many ways I am helpless to change. Yes change can happen and I am not meaning to be defeatist. I know that historically change does occur it just seems to take a lot of time and sometimes cost a lot in sorrow. We also live in a world unlike any before in our recorded history from a technological point of view. My analogy with Klingons and Vulcans is an attempt to see into the future where technology is taking us. I cannot also help but believe what I see as an agenda of control, an agenda likely put in place with some forethought and planning. Historically it simply fits the pattern of human endeavor. Someone seems to be always in the process of attempting to get the upper hand on someone else for some reason or the other. These are the issues that concern me. I really do fear that given a certain amount of time our attempt at solutions will be lost in so much noise. Why, because the format is still the same. Articles containing viewpoints and varied information are presented as they are every day. When the contest is over we will continue reading articles with different viewpoints and information. My overriding question is this. How do we assimilate and utilize all these viewpoints and all this information that we have received and will receive in order to capitalize on them to the greatest extent? Our current state of affairs did not occur overnight. We have collectively always been suckers for those whom thirst for power and control, always. How do we change that? So my appeal to you today is heartfelt. What is our next step and how do we preserve our gains, I implore you to ask yourself those questions. How do we together find not only the solutions but find the questions we should be asking ourselves. How do we work and cooperate in our most productive manner? What should our next contest be about and how do we quantify the answers? That question alone could be the contest. Whatever our next endeavor, lets make it ours. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	LOS ANGELESExplaining that his movies were but a small step in the pursuit of a career he has always dreamed about, Almost Famous director Cameron Crowe announced Monday that he is retiring from filmmaking to focus exclusively on soundtracks. 'For me, the moving image has become redundant, and I believe that I can more effectively tell stories with carefully chosen music,' said Crowe, backed by Electric Light Orchestra's 'Do Ya.' Crowe's first soundtrack, Walking With Headphones, will begin compilation later this winter for a summer release, with the soundtrack's soundtrack available on Polydor Records. 
3	Lessons in Resistance: Martin Luther Kings Letter From Birmingham Jail RevisitedPaul Adams, J.D. In spring 1963, civil rights leaders campaigned for racial desegregation in Birmingham, Alabama. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the other leaders organized militantly peaceful protests, marches, boycotts, and sit-ins to create conflict that would challenge the conscience of America to remedy the inequity and injustice of segregation. While in Birmingham, King was jailed for holding marches without a permit. While imprisoned, King responded to a published letter from moderate white preachers criticizing the civil rights campaign with his famous Letter From a Birmingham Jail, which is mandatory reading for all lovers of truth and people of conscience. Kings letter is more relevant now than ever. Today, Americans and citizens of all nations are struggling to keep and/or regain their constitutional, natural and God-given rights from a global elite that openly enslaves the world through debt. This elite writes the laws but is not subject to them. It openly engages in false flag terror, wars based on false pretenses, usury/fractional reserve banking, chemtrails, toxic GMO foods, massive depopulation, gun and drug running, and other crimes against humanity. It is the same elite that assassinated Martin Luther King, Jr., as proven at trial in a court of law with almost no mainstream media coverage. As late American Indian Movement leader Russell Means said, the United States is one big reservation, and we are all in it. To put it another way, we are all struggling for basic human rights like the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Let us now learn and head the wisdom of Martin Luther King, Jr. Why Was Martin Luther King Jr. in the Birmingham City Jail? Another prominent pastor, Martin Niemller, provides a perfect example of this principle regarding the Nazis: If you dont care about people in Cyprushaving their life savings stolen by IMF moneychangers, you should;your savings (if you still have any) will be next as the banksters have not received justice for their crimes. If you dont care about the millions of unemployed and those living in poverty, you should; you and your family will likely be next as those responsible for poverty face no opposition like the Civil Rights activists of the 1960s. Is Organizing Disruptive Demonstrations Immoral? It is shocking that powerful demonstrations and boycotts against the banking industry and military industrial rarely take place, or at least they receive no media coverage. This is largely due to the fact that most organizations are easily infiltrated by the establishment and demonized by the controlled corporate media just like Dr. Kings National Conference for New Politics. The lack of demonstrations is also due to fear. Everyone knows what happened to Martin Luther King, John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Paul Wellstone, Pat Tillman and other powerful organizers that opposed the New World Order. Four Requirements of a nonviolent Civil Rights Campaign: Today, one glaring example of injustice is the fact that tens of millions of Americans have or will lose their homes to bank foreclosures. In many foreclosures, the banks have acted illegally but dont care as they are above the law. Yet the banks received over $29 trillion of bailouts, enough to pay-off every residential home mortgage nearly three times over. Furthermore, the majority of money loaned to borrowers is created out of nothing through the usury scam of fractional reserve banking. In short, people labor and produce real goods and services to earn money. They then use their money to pay interest to banks for loans that were simply created by typing digits on a computer screen. This inequity is too simple for many to comprehend. Why Direct Action Against Injustice is Necessary Just like Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, one can take direct action against injustice today. First, you can educate your friends and family about the New World Order, Federal Reserve, IMF, false flag terror, orchestrated economic crises, wars based on false pretenses, media propaganda, genetically modified foods, chemtrails, and the many other issues of justice affecting nearly everyone today. Second, you can boycott unethical companies and their products. Third, like Nathan Blanc, you can refuse to participate in absurd wars and violate any law that conflicts with your conscience and natural law. You can inform others that Al Qaeda is run by the Pentagon and the U.S. secretly supplies North Korea. North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un was educated in Switzerland, so there is every reason to believe that he is a puppet of the West despite the current twenty-four-hour war propaganda. The History of Gaining Rights: Now is the time to expose and oppose the New World Order. The globalists are getting bolder by the day. They are attempting to revoke the Second amendment (right of self-defense) which historically leads to democide, have ordered 2 billion rounds of ammunition for domestic use (most are hollow-point not suitable for target practice and violate the Geneva Convention), and practice placing citizens in concentration camps. Without powerful opposition, our freedoms and quality of life will continue to quickly deteriorate. Two Types of Laws and a Responsibility to Break Laws: Henry David Thoreau preceded King on the need to disobey unjust laws, writing, Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves. Civil disobedience is very important for sheriffs. Many good sheriffs openly obey the moral law and reject unjust statutory laws to protect their citizens right of self-defense. History and Tradition of Civil Disobedience: To defeat the globalists and save humanity, we must learn our history and follow successful examples of resistance from the past. Tension as Medicine Against Injustice Today, lovers of truth must expose corruption and the New World Order so that it can be brought to justice. Keeping silent will accomplish nothing other than encouraging the elite to commit more crimes. The perpetrators of the 9/11 false flag, Oklahoma City bombing, invasion or Iraq, and chemtrails must face criminal trials. Only by bringing attention to these issues, thus creating tension, can justice be achieved. Moderates Moderates today have conformed due to years of misinformation and B.F. Skinners operant conditioning in schools. They do not know how to nor desire the ability to think critically about important issues. They have an iPhone, latte, and large television to keep them entertained. We must not lose hope in the moderates or be overwhelmed by frustration. We must plant truth seeds, gently water and nurture them with more truth, and in time we can awaken them to reality and fight for justice. Freedom is a Birthright The New World order will fail because it opposes natural law, seeking to make the beautiful ugly and ugly beautiful. The globalists and their DARPA nerd armies will never have complete control of everything and everyone one as all humans have a soul/conscience that desire freedom for the body and mind. Eventually, people will do anything necessary to gain freedom for themselves and others. King Criticizes the Modern Church Today, there are very few churches that take a stand against war and injustice. Instead, they focus on competing for members, building beautiful buildings/campuses, selling books, and pagan Easter egg hunts and Christmas trees. Unlike Christ whom owned only his cloak and sandals, many pastors flaunt luxury cars and extravagant homes as their members suffer economic hardship and half of the world population lives on less than $2.50 per day. Many modern pastors act like wolves, telling the sheep that Romans chapter 13 requires Christians to submit to government regardless of whether government acts within the confines and jurisdiction of Gods law or not. As pastor Chuck Baldwin writes: Almost all Churches are tax-exempt 501(c)3 organizations. According to the I.R.S., this means that the church may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates. Therefore, churches and other religious organizations are politically powerless, they cannot take action to ensure that statutory laws reflect the value of their members. In a May 2006, reporters broke the shocking news that FEMA was training pastors and other religious representatives to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations to obey the government in preparation for a declaration of martial law, property and firearm seizures, and forced relocation. Christian readers would be wise to evaluate themselves and their churches. Are you truly passionate about love, mercy and justice? If so, what are you doing about it? Be an Extremist for Justice Like Martin Luther King Jr., we must become fearless leaders for justicein order to regain our civil rights. The globalists executed King, but they cannot deal with a huge mass movement that is aware of their crimes and refuses to tolerate them. Despite their long history of treachery, the globalists are not as powerful as they would like us to believe. During a speech, former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski warned fellow elitists that a worldwide resistance movement to external control driven by populist activism is threatening to derail the move towards a new world order. Likewise, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a tacit admission during a U.S. Foreign Policy Priorities committee meeting, arguing that the State Department needs more money because the US military-industrial complex is losing the information war to the alternative media due to the US corporate media having completely abandoned real news and objectivity. The ongoing wars will cost $4 -$6 trillion dollars (a give-away to the military industrial complex) and the largest banks have received over $29 trillion in bailouts. Yet the standard of living and government services provided to citizens around the world continue to decline. We must now follow Dr. Kings example and form a United Front Against Austerity and injustice. Paul Adams is your humble servant and a follower of Jesus Christ.

3	A Future With Us On The SidelinesMelissa Melton On the same day that China announced that robots will replace their factory work force in both the chemical and steel sectors, the Drudge Report also highlighted some novel progress that was made for humans, too. In Guangzhou, China, the bosses brag that the robots make ideal employees: At least 180,000 such industrial robots have already been deployed, many of which ended up in China. Meanwhile, the Western world is working on Wait for it The robot couch that can drive you to the fridge and back! At last, the promised utopian future is here? This, making your basic reclining lazyboy a bit of a thing of the past. The slacker-esque Australian engineers who came up with it have the cushioned mobile remote controlled and revved up to go some 9 miles an hour. But the real question why? Its developers hope it can someday traverse down narrow passageways and up freight elevators. Itll probably even be able to tell your smart fridge what you want by the time you get there, and how many calories are in it. But again, why? I guess the average consumer-human is becoming lazier, more dependent and less useful than ever with each passing day. Worse, I suppose were going to literally sit there and take it that is, if the robot couch is any indication of where were headed. The general trends have been aimed in this direction for a while. Ray Kurzweil and the Singularity crowd have called it for several decades now even cheering it on enthusiastically. The future doesnt need us, weve all been told. With a steadily declining value on human labor, no real cultural vision or purpose and an economy tending towards silicon intelligence and replacement by robotics, we are basically toast. Or, as Bill Joy (or was it Perry Farrell?) summed it up: expendable pets. The pop culture movie Wall-E nailed it a future where the robots are seeding new life and restoring the plant, while the humanoids have become rotund, couch potato slobs who suck down big gulp super sodas from autonomous roving arm chairs. Definitely highly-entertained hangers on. The ships captain, finding himself obsolete and without any meaningful purpose, redeems himself by making himself useful in the face of the directive of the computer running the ship. Hmm Heres a glimpse of that possible dreary, dystopic future in one image: 
2	Geraldo Rivera Wants Bill OReilly Fired For Racism A recent video shows a contentious moment between Geraldo Rivera and Bill OReilly during The Factor. Reportedly, the argument surrounded Bill OReillys comments about Barack Obama during a Super Bowl interview. What we had here with you and President Obama was a culture class It was the president of most of the white guys of America, thats you, Rivera told OReilly. And, Barack Obama the president of almost everybody else. And the discussion was at that level To watch it was some ways unsettling to me What you did was strip him of his majesty Now, following the interview, it appears that Rivera is officially coming after OReilly, in hopes of getting him fired. Rivera alleges that OReilly is racist. Watch the video below and let us know what you think. 
1	A study published Wednesday by the National Education Association has determined that a four-year college education is still a better investment of ones time and money than spending the same duration chained to a radiator in a dank, unlit basement. Compared to the intellectual stimulation and personal growth achieved in a university setting, there is less to be gained from 48 months in which one is tightly shackled about the ankle and connected by a short length of chain to a leaking, immovable cast-iron radiator, read the report in part, which played down the high cost of student loans when contrasted with the psychological trauma and physical atrophy that typically accompany four years spent in the same 3-foot radius on a cracked concrete floor with only a pail of food scraps to subsist on. College can offer a multidisciplinary education and foster lifelong social connections, and it comes with the added benefit of providing students with a comfortable campus setting that contains actual restroom facilities. These are things one would not get while detained in the uninsulated basement of an abandoned warehouse. The study conceded, however, that those chained to radiators consistently outperformed college graduates on certain measures, such as screaming hallucinated demons into submission and inching along the floor on ones stomach to drink fetid water from a puddle.

3	Institutionalizing Indefinite DetentionStephen Lendman, Contributor Theyre heading America for full-blown tyranny. Its already a hairs breadth away. It could arrive any time full force. Its been wrapped in the American flag all along. Most people dont know how seriously their rights are compromised. Thousands of political prisoners in Americas gulag hell testify about police state harshness. Much worse ahead looms. On March 7, 2011, Obamas Executive Order 13567 authorized indefinite detentions and military commission trials. Doing so violated Americas Fifth Amendment. It states: No person.shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. Bush administration officials, of course, originally authorized military commissions. Theyre lawless by any standard. They permit torture. They deny international law protections. They let presidents convene them against unprivileged enemy belligerents or anyone designated a threat to national security. Any reason can be claimed or none at all. They deny speedy trials or any at all. They legitimize torture extracted evidence. They also permit hearsay and secret evidence unavailable to counsel. They deny due process and judicial fairness. They destroy human dignity. They mock rule of law principles. They sanction kangaroo court justice. He lied. He spurned inviolable international and constitutional principles. On December 31, 2011, he went further. He signed the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). It legitimized indefinite detentions. It included US citizens at home and abroad. Americas military may arrest and imprison them uncharged. It permits holding them without trial based on suspicions, hearsay, secret evidence, or none at all. No reasonable proof is needed. Presidential diktat authority has final say. No one anywhere is safe. Due process, civil protections, and judicial fairness became null and void. Presidents may order anyone arrested and imprisoned for life without charge or trial. Abuse of power replaced rule of law protections. Its US statute law. It violates international and constitutional provisions. Its one step closer to full-blown tyranny. Administration lawyers claim US citizens are legitimate targets. Presidential authorization alone is needed. Inviolable rights no longer apply. Protesting imperial lawlessness, social injustice, corporate crime, government corruption, or political Washington run of, by and for rich elites can be criminalized. So can free speech, assembly, religion, or anything challenging Americas right to kill, destroy and pillage with impunity. Americas less safe to live in than ever. Theres no place to hide anywhere. On December 19, Russia Today headlined NDAA 2013 Indefinite detention without trial is back. It never went away. Senator Dianne Feinsteins amendment claimed to limit military detention. It nominally exempted US citizens and permanent residents apprehended domestically. It did more harm than good. It hardened indefinite detention. It legalized detaining students with visas, tourists, immigrants and others indefinitely. It left citizens and permanent residents vulnerable. If arrested, it authorized due process. NDAA mandates military commissions. Civil ones arent allowed. Kangaroo justice is certain. Feinsteins amendment made bad 2012 legislation worse. Habeas rights were denied. Freedom took another body blow. Police state harshness hardened. Presidential diktat authority was endorsed. Weeks earlier, senators approved it. On December 18, Senator Carl Levin said language of the Senate bill was dropped. He stopped short of explaining more. On December 19, lawmakers removed her amendment. Deceptive language replacing it said: (NDAA) shall be construed to deny the availability of the writ of habeas corpus or to deny any Constitutional rights in a court ordained or established by or under Article III of the Constitution to any person inside the United States who would be entitled to the availability of such writ or to such rights in the absence of such laws. Is means no one entitled to habeas availability shall be denied it. Anyone authorities arrest is assumed ineligible. On September 12, Southern District of New York federal Judge Katherine B. Forrest blocked Obamas indefinite detention law. She called it unconstitutional: it impermissibly impinges on guaranteed First Amendment rights and lacks sufficient definitional structure and protections to meet the requirements of due process. She added that: If, following issuance of this permanent injunctive relief, the government detains individuals under theories of substantially or directly supporting associated forces, as set forth in the National Defense Authorization Act, and a contempt action is brought before this court, the government will bear a heavy burden indeed. Plaintiffs successfully argued that ambiguous language like substantially supported, associated forces, and directly supported leave them and others vulnerable to lawless indefinite detention. In response to Judge Forrests ruling, administration officials appealed. They said she exceeded enjoining NDAAs Section 1021. They claimed doing so threatens irreparable harm to national security and the public interest by injecting added burdens and dangerous confusion into the conduct of military operations abroad during an active armed conflict. They granted a stay on her injunction. She questioned 2001 Authorization for use of Military Force (AUMF) interpretation. Its language and NDAAs Section 1021 arent the same, she said. They are not co-extensive. Military detention based on allegations of substantially supporting or directly supporting the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or associated forces, is not encompassed within the AUFM and is enjoined by this order regarding NDAA. Obama officials argued she overstepped. She took it upon (herself) to disagree with an interpretation of the militarys detention authority that had previously been endorsed by all three branches of government, they claimed. What is more, (she) expressly invites actions for contempt sanctions if the military exercises detention authority in a manner inconsistent with the courts deeply flawed understanding of that authority. In June, she issued a preliminary injunction against enforcing statute provisions she questions. While appealing her ruling, Obama officials didnt block it. After making her injunction permanent, they asked for an emergency stay. They claimed she made an unprecedented ruling. They said it affects wartime matters. On September 17, Second Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Raymond Lohier issued a one-page order. It stayed Forrests decision until a three-judge panel rules. On September 28, arguments were heard. Judgment rendered said banning indefinite detention is disallowed until further consideration on Obamas appeal is heard. On December 12, attorneys Carl Mayer and Bruce Ira filed an emergency appeal with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg. They cited gravely compromised constitutional rights. They petitioned for injunctive relief (Emergent Application to Vacate Temporary Stay of Permanent Injunction). They requested reinstating Judge Forrests ruling. Ginsburg handles these type emergency matters. She can decide on her own or request other colleagues join her. Application language said: Unless this Court lifts the stay, core constitutional rights will continue to be violated and the status quo that the military cannot detain civilians will be upended pending an appeal process that could take many months if not years. It stressed that Americans are in actual and imminent danger of losing their core First Amendment rights and fundamental Equal Protection liberties. On December 14, Ginsburg denied their request. She claimed it improper to interfere with appeals judges expediting their ongoing review. She said caution should be exercised in light of nullifying a lower court ruling. Appeals judges will rule next year. If injunctive relief is denied, expect petitioning the Supreme Court to follow. On May 18, the House passed the 2013 NDAA 299 120. On December 21, the Senate followed suit 81 14. Obama will choose time and place to enact it. Doing so is criminal lawlessness. Malfeasance comes easy to him. Hes a serial war criminal. Both Houses trashed international and constitutional law. They further institutionalized imperial wars. They also endorsed locking up US citizens and permanent residents uncharged. They favor holding them indefinitely in military prisons. They support denying them due process and judicial fairness. They judge them guilty by accusation. Tyranny came one step closer to full-blown. Its full force could arrive any time.

2	Pharmacist Kills Teen Robber, Charged With Murder Recently, a pharmacist is facing some serious charges after killing an armed teenager who broke into his store. Surveillance footage shows the robber breaking into the store with an accomplice, and demanding money. The pharmacist quickly grabs his gun and chases the two criminals out of the store. He then proceeds to shoot one of the teen robbers 6 times, and continues to shoot even as he lays on the group unconscious. Now, the Associated Press reports that the pharmacist has been charged with murder, claiming that the first shot was justified but he should have ceased after that. What do you think? Was this self-defense or murder? UPDATE: Sorry the video has been removed. 
3	Anonymous Hits New York Stock Exchange, World Bank, The Fed, and Vatican Total Media BlackoutBy Jay Syrmopoulos After announcing a global call to arms against the corrupt global banking cartel, the hacker collective,known as Anonymous, in conjunction with Ghost Squad Hackers, have taken over 30 central banks offline, including striking many targets at the heart of the Western imperialist empire. An Anonymous press release explained the intention behind the operation: The banks have been getting away with murder, fraud, conspiracy, war profiteering, money laundering for terrorists and drug cartels, have put millions of people out on the street without food or shelter and have successfully bought all our governments to help keep us silenced. We represent the voice of the voiceless. We are uniting to make a stand. The central banks which were attacked in recent days were attacked to remind people that the biggest threat we face to an open and free society is the banks. The bankers are the problem and #OpIcarus is the solution. Operation Icarus was relaunched in conjunction with a video release announcing the beginning of a 30-day campaign against central bank sites across the world. Since that time, the scope and magnitude of the attacks have increased exponentially, with Anonymous, Ghost Squad Hackers, a number of Sec groups and BannedOffline coordinating attacks each focusing on separate financial institutions in an effort to maximize the number of targets hit. In a previous interview with the Free Thought Project, an Anonymous representative clarified that the operation is in no way intended to impact individuals accounts held within the banks, explaining that OpIcarus is directed solely at the 1% perpetuating injustice: We would just like to make it very clear that all targets of #OpIcarus have been Rothschild and BIS central owned banks. In fact most of the targets so far such as Guernsey, Cyprus, Panama, Jordan, British Virgin Isles, etc are in the top 10 places of tax havens for the elite. No on-line consumer accounts were harmed, no ATMs were blocked and no personal client data was leaked. This has been a protest against the Central Banks and the 1% no innocent or poor people were harmed. The operation began with an initial attack on the Central Bank of Greece and was quickly followed up with a similar DDoS attack on the Central Bank of Cyprus. The hackers then targeted the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic, the Dutch Central Bank, the Central Bank of Maldives, and Guernsey Financial Services Commission, according to the official @OpIcarus Twitter account, which has been taken offline presumably by Twitter. The National Bank of Panama and the Central Bank of Kenya were also reportedly targeted a day later, according to hacking news publication HackRead. Additionally, reported Ghost Squad Hacker, s1ege also tweeted about taking the Central Bank of Bosnia-Herzegovina offline and provided a screenshot to verify. The Twitter account @BannedOffline also reported the Central Bank of Mexico had succumbed to a DDoS attack by the hacking collective. The online hacktivist groups have continued to conduct a series of high-powered distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which forced the website of Central Bank of Jordan, Central Bank of South Korea, Bank of Compagnie, Monegasque and the Central Bank of Montenegro offline. Last Saturday, hackers conducted a series of 250 Gbps DDoS attacks on the Bank of France, Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, Central Bank of Tunisia, Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago and Philippine National Bank. That was followed up by an attack on the Central Bank of Iraq. The initial attacks were reported in global corporate media, such as Reuters, with subsequent strikes being reported by independent outlets such as the IBTimes and HackRead. The most recent press release from Anonymous summarized some of the attacks of the past week, as global media has curiously stopped reporting on the attacks altogether. Greetings citizens of the world, we are OpIcarus a collective of citizens from around the globe working on exposing the 1% through the global banking systems. The elite are responsible for the corruption currently taking place in all governments, media, drug cartels, sex trafficking and money laundering. This last week we have had success in taking down the banking systems of the Bank of International Settlements, the World Bank, the Vatican, Morocco, Macedonia as well as the Central Bank of Venezuela. We stand with the people of Venezuela as they protest their corrupt government and all should expect our support through operations during these uprisings wherever they may arise. We are the people, We stand with the people, We support the people. After announcing OpIcarus at the beginning of May, Anonymous released a list of institutions the collective plans to target, which is divided into four sections; websites associated with the U.S. Federal Reserve, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), sites owned by the World Bank, and over 150 sites associated with national banks around the globe. In just a few weeks, OpIcarus hackers have hit dozens of financial institutions listed in their online manifesto. Any questions about whether the hacktivists would be able to take out some of the more high-profile institutions seem to have been answered with the recent successful attacks on the World Bank, the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks, the Bank of France and the Bank of England the central banks of the U.K. and France and the Vatican. https://www.facebook.com/AnonymousLegionForJustice/videos/1610825099235931/ The attack on the Bank of England was unique from the previous attacks, as it reportedly took down the internal email server. s1ege (@_s1ege) May 12, 2016 While some have questioned the effectiveness of OpIcarus, senior director at Corero Network Security, Stephanie Weagle, told Info Security magazine: While the impact on the individual targets of the DDoS attack campaign, OpIcarus is unclear; obstructing or eliminating the availability of email servers is significant. In an online world any type of service outage is barely tolerated, especially in the banking industry where transactions and communications are often time-sensitive, and account security is of utmost importance. In the world of high finance, time is moneyand every minute that a bank is forced offline it is losing potential revenue, which in turn hurts the bottom line of those that support the imperial war machine. Thus far, all targeted banks have refused to comment on the damage inflicted by the continuous cyber attacks. Make no mistake that this operation has already been extremely effective evolving and growing rapidly. The fact that global corporate media is refusing to report on these numerous high-profile attacks is indicative of the fear the 1% have of OpIcarus garnering massive public support. The attempt to conceal the scope and breadth of this operation from public purview reveals the visceral fear the elite harbor toward those they prey upon. It seems the only thing the ruling class can do now is attempt to conceal and suppress the information about whats transpiring in hopes of keeping the populace ignorant.

Nice ! wtg Anon and Ghost KUDOS. I hear the old song, Chick-a-boom, chick-a-boom, dontcha just love it! Chick-a-boom Love, love, love to all Anonymous ! 21st century revolution! I could just kiss them! Whoever you are, you have my prayers. Awesome job, keep it up! Since the Creation of the Central Banking System in 1913, a little over a 100 yrs., the World has seen more people Die from Government War, than in the previous 3,000 years! Not hardly. Some of those ancient battlefields laid waste to hundreds of thousands of dead in a single day. The soul is the light that shineth in darkness; and the darkness (flesh) comprehends it not. When we become strong and the light and under- standing comes to us, when the beauty of the soul dawns upon us then the cross loses its pain and its terrors and we go onward in joy and peace and thanksgiving. It is not pain to us any more to deny self its unlawful longings. Self is no more the earth- bound thief claiming sonship with God and daily con- fessing indifference to duty, fellowship with evil and lustfulness of the world. It is a glorified self full of love and righteousness. A little off point, but wisdom, nonethelessthis is excerpted from what?? THIS IS HOW WE BUILD THE SOUL. Lets make it our world order not the elites!! I believe the efforts expended so far are nothing but a scratch in the armor of the elites. I believe that the only way to really push the balance of power into the hands of the people is to destroy the fiat money these institutions prostitute. Until that is done these DDOS attacks are barely more than an inconvenience. Nevertheless I applaud the efforts and wish them better objectives and outcomes. Ive been waiting for a very long time for any visible opposition to our current world situation of being owned, controlled, and run by bankers. Except for Ron Paul, opposition does not exist in the political sphere. Many people who feel and know something is very wrong have not yet figured out that all of our problems in the world can be traced back to the dishonest, immoral, worldwide monetary system where bankers have the sole right to create currencies from nothing. All governments are simply the enforcement agencies for bankers. They steal from all of us in three ways : through banks by debasing the currency (inflation), through governments via taxation, and through mega corporations by underpaying workers and monopolistic control over essential commodities and goods that humans need. Go Ghost Squad and Anonymous!!! Lets bring back sound money and be free of the leeches and parasites that are responsible for so much human misery. Its time to stand up and reject all the mandates and memes of our leaders and authorities that defy all common sense and human decency, ie Common Core, TSA, Homeland Security, transgendered rights, and men using womens bathrooms etc. etc. Its only possible if we the people put up with it. May I suggest we dont. Sounds like someone has been listening to Mike Rivero it looks like they want to make the reset happen a little faster i can wait a bit. Great stuff, I support Anonymous 100% This is just me guessing. Anoymous might be working for the enemy, cause if they are for the people they wouldnt make the economy worst than it is. The world economy collapsing is what the enemy want, but thats just me. Anonymous is attacking Trump and waged an all-out pursuit to find dirt on him. Unsuccessful attempt. So that tells me a lot. ..when the FRB closes its doors Anonymous will have made a staement. Until then theres nothing new under the sun. Thank you Anonymous and Ghost Squad Hackers!!!! Might be helping setting up one world currency/system etc. Either way I still have to go to work in the morning. If Anon really wants to mess with them, give everyone else in the world a million or so haha. Imagine that. The Judeo-Marxist media is doing a blackout on coverage of cyber attacks on banks, which also happens to be owned and ran by Judeo-Bolsheviks. The tribe protecting fellow tribesmen. Thats all. Id love to see these guys (whoever they are) hack tv broadcasts. I dont suppose that anonymous, while working their arts, would drop some money in my bank account??? Satanic Mobster Cartel of Goons. Re: Philippine National Bank, its a private bank catering to the needs of the Overseas Filipino Workers, i.e. sending money to their families at home. Next time, try the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, or the Oligarchys BPI instead. The pen is mightier than the sword! Keep up the good work!! I would like to see is Anonymous turn everyones bank debt accounts to $0 showing mortgages, credit cards, etc., paid off. Dont be fooled, Anonymous is just a team of USA and Israeli hackers working for the government. They pull off whole strings of these major hacking attacks that no group could pull off unless it was an inside job, and somehow they manage to hit every single website and group that we all cant stand, and then we all feel better like theres someone out there actually doing something about the state of things. It is totally unrealistic to believe that there are all these highly-organized world-class hackers out there coming together as a team of superhero coders trying to fight injustice. Most of the biggest attacks in the past have been linked to government organizations. Its just unrealistic that there are all these untouchable hackers out there fighting everybody. Most of the largest hacks in history that were not government-involved resulted in capture and prosecution of the culprits. If any real hackers out there ever managed to hack the fed, they would not be paraded as superheroes and get all this news coverage. The damage done is unclear, though the article tries to assure us that plenty of damage was done. A mail server was taken down, but how do we know there were even any actual accounts tied to that mail server. There are screenshots showing a website was down. For how long? 5 seconds? Would anyone have noticed any of these (probably insignificant) attacks if they werent in the news? For that matter, do we even know these screenshots werent faked? I believe all these articles about Anonymous are just there to give people a false sense of security. I find myself breathing a sigh of relief. God, please protect Anonymous and give the world victory over all the Satanists and all of their evil plots, plans, conspiracies, conspirators, creations, activities, organizations and preparations for a Satanic New World Order. Please, God, show Anonymous and everyone who is standing for truth, justice, peace, prosperity and freedom how to win all the battles over evil. 
3	John Bolton: Trump Needs to Confront Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and Embrace Forever WarBy Kurt Nimmo John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) November 10, 2016 On Saturday Bolton spelled out what he considers to be the foreign policy priorities of the new administration. Bolton writes the top concern for America on the foreign policy front are the closely related threats of radical Islamic terrorism and the Middle Easts spreading chaos. This is followed by nuclear proliferation by Iran, a country that does not have a nuclear weapons program. Trump may say he wants to make peace with Russia, but this is not on Boltons agenda. Vladimir Putins Russia is on the prowl in Eastern Europe and the Middle East in ways unprecedented since the Cold War, he writes. Trumps VP, Mike Pence, has similar thoughts on Russia. Bolton forgets Russia was not on the prowl prior to the US placing missile batteries on the border in Poland, or before the State Department engineered the takedown of the government in Ukraine. He also wants Trump to confront China in the South and East China Seas. Continued failure to deal firmly with Chinese adventurism and intransigence will result in more Asian states falling under Beijings sway, as the Philippines appears to be doing, simply accepting their fate as Middle Kingdom vassals. On Sunday, Bolton took to the pages of the New York Post. Iran is now on a path to deliverable nuclear weapons, legitimized by Obamas wretched deal, which is providing untold economic benefits to Tehran through unfrozen assets and renewed trade and investment, especially from Europe. Irans support for terrorism continues unabated, and its provocative international behavior has only worsened since the nuclear deal. Russias influence in the region is higher than at any time since the 1970s, he writes. John Bolton (@AmbJohnBolton) November 15, 2016 Bolton pushed creative destruction and order out of chaos, the favored approach of neocons. Either a new state must be created out of the wreckage of Syria and Iraq, or some other durable approach must be found, he writes. I still think the decision to overthrow Saddam was correct, Bolton said last year during a failed effort to run for the nomination. I think decisions made after that decision were wrong, although I think the worst decision made after that was the 2011 decision to withdraw U.S. and coalition forces. He also wants to force Russia out of Syria. Moreover, the new Russian airbase in Latakia, Syria, has dramatically changed the strategic environment in the eastern Mediterranean and beyond. Unfortunately, the base cannot be made to disappear simply by reversing Obamas erroneous policies. According to Bolton, Israel and Americas Arab friends are desperately waiting for a strong American president who understands who his friends are. Israel and its well-organized and financed lobbying effort in the United States has long determined US foreign policy in the Middle East. As for our Arab friends, this is a reference to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the Gulf Emirates, the very folks who are responsible for fanatical Wahhabi Islam embraced by al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, and the Islamic State. None of these psychopathic groups would even exist if the CIA had not built up the Mujahideen in Afghanistan during its covert war against the Soviets. The Saudis, the CIA, and the Pentagon are directly responsible for the cancer now growing in the Middle East, not Iran. On Tuesday, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul pointed out the hypocrisy of a Trump administration selecting Bolton as secretary of state. War is sometimes necessary but as a country we should resist any would-be leader who wants to bomb now think later https://t.co/fNiS1ATXQ4 Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) November 15, 2016 Bolton is a longtime member of the failed Washington elite that Trump vowed to oppose, hell-bent on repeating virtually every foreign policy mistake the U.S. has made in the last 15 yearsparticularly those Trump promised to avoid as president, Paul writes.

Great tip, Ill have to check it out, although, my hard drive is jam packed, not sure what to delete to make more room. Hahaha Trump got rid of Christie. Pence is now helping him to get rid of the lobbyists. Trump does NOT kiss-inger! I sincerely hope your optimism is correct and Trump outsmarted the apex elites using their Eye of Sauron surveillance network . Giuliani is still a concern and big red flag. Agreed, and I dont see a rifle or a helmet in either one of his paws. Hes in a constant state of irrational manic mood swings of angry tirades to a sputtering apoplexy vacillating to apoplectic in a vicious circle of an emotionally out of control roller coaster (lol) Bolton was an ambassador to the useless UN= zero experience and unfit for the job. Bolton is a War mongering Zionist scumlord who is sure to pop up on the pedophile list once the NSA decides to drop the bomb. The crippled Empire will collapse in 24 hours without Neocons, shadow government, stoking bellicose flames of national and global conflicts, wars, divide conquer policies along with Too Big to Fail death debt banks running amok. Trump Change? Get to Church Light a Candle! I have faith that he will heal the Usurped Ztates and DRAIN the SWAMP. BTW: eddy you ever consider writing a book. Let me know. I enjoy reading all your out there comments. The prospect of PNAC / Neocon scum John Bolton in this administration will be proof enough to me that Trump doesnt know what hes doing or hes a puppet.he just better not go there. If I wanted that Id have voted for Jeb Bush (another PNAC neocon warmongering scum) Drain the swamp but keep the alligators snakes ? Has selfnews Post been taken over by the Mockingbird disinformation specialists? Bolton is entertaining on TV but he will pull us into global war. Why do we care about the Middle East? Isreal was sectioned off as the result of debts from two world wars. Even now it is said that only 3% of Israelis have any Middle Eastern blood in their veins because they all came from Europe as converts to Jewdism in the 700s. Mr Pastry rides again. Bolton is a dead ringer for the former British silly man and comedian Mr Pastry. Russian is one of my native languages but Im not Russian. such fuss, mess and misery for soon to be obsolete energy source ! Hey Johnny. Hey Johnny: So its stay the course because thats pretty much whats been going on for the last 15 years. Make Bolton lead the charge. Now youll see hes a coward wanting others to spurt blood for his intentions and those of his bosses, because he is not any inner circle illuminatus. He probably got bounced off the wall in high school by track team girls. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/21cd239b5144a9d57fffbb7ad69016b29510af1e748671e620dcca53c55a274c.jpg Liberal scum here celebrated Bashar Assad being let off the hook after GASSING all those BABIES, KIDS and PARENTS 3.25 years ago. 
1	A time-honored tradition ended in calamity tonight when, less than an hour after presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Barack Obama gathered together in the town of Hempstead, NY to debate their political views before villagers, a lantern tipped over and set fire to the ol Town Hall. According to sources, the fire broke out when a mare kicked over an old kerosene lamp, quickly lighting wooden pews aflame and igniting haystacks in the towns historic gathering place, which for centuries has served as the center of social, spiritual, and political life for the people of Hempstead. Come quick, theres a fire down at the ol Town Hall! local schoolteacher Eunice Quinn shouted into the cobblestone streets as the blaze spread through the buildings storage chambers, burning up the surplus of dry goods and preserved fruits that had been safely stored away for the harsh winter months. It was Bluebell again, kicked over an old lamp right in the middle a debatin! We best send some of the older children down to the well and get a bucket brigade going. Hurry, before the flames get the fall harvest! Sources reported that by rallying together, villagers and a contingent of volunteer firemen were able to evacuate the building within 15 minutes, helping to save the lives of countless townsfolk, livestock, and political figures trapped within the smoke-filled rooms. While congregants from the local Presbyterian Church helped keep hot cinders from setting fire to the schoolhouse down the street, a team of nursemaids worked to revive moderator Candy Crowley with smelling salts and a sip of brandy. I thank God that no souls perished today in this infernal blaze, said local pastor Cyrus T. Jebediah, speaking to a coughing Soledad OBrien as authorities assessed the damage to the building. Everyone in Hempstead helped quell the flames. The women in their fancy gingham gowns and bonnets, the rowdy Rachom boyswhy, even crazy Jasper Pike, his bottle of corn whiskey still in one hand. Made me proud to be a Hempsteadian, Ill swear to that. The fire was an unfortunate end to an otherwise spirited week of great commotion and excitement in Hempstead, with townsfolk dressing in their Sunday best and local merchants making sure their storefronts and pantries were spotless for the presidential candidates arrival. Town sources reported even old Widow Chessum had roused herself to attend the debate, despite her severe gout. Shame the debate had to be canceled, shopkeep Bartholomew Small told reporters, his starched white shirt sullied with ash. Just some good, law-abiding folk comin together to have an open discussion about the future of our country. Werent nothing more than that. At press time, the citizens of Hempstead had scheduled an emergency meeting behind Whitakers Saloon to discuss a replacement venue for this years upcoming harvest ball. 
3	Al-Qaedas Air Force: United States And Saudi ArabiaBy Brandon Turbeville The truth is that the United States, NATO, and the GCC/Arab League are bombing in couched support of ISIS, increasing its gains and hold on power with every sortie fired. With this fact recognized, the NATO/GCC network of national governments can now officially be labeled as the Air Force of Al-Qaeda. For instance, while the secular government of Bashar al-Assad remained the only force inside Syria actually fighting al-Qaeda and ISIS terrorist organizations trained, funded, armed, and deployed by the United States, NATO, and the GCC the brutality of these death squads was used by the Western propaganda machine to justify a bombing campaign that was actually directed at Syrian military and civilian infrastructure. These strikes were launched against Syrian oil refineries (see here also), bridges, civilian neighborhoods, warehouses, agricultural centers, and grain silos. Others were made strategically against infrastructure that was set to soon be taken back by the Syrian military after long-fought battles with the terrorists. Likewise, the US bombing campaign in Iraq has had much more to do with protecting Western-owned oil fields and death squad herding than eliminating ISIS. In fact, Iraqi armed forces and government officials have repeatedly revealed that the US military has actually been supplying ISIS during the entire course of the bombing. Yet while the Western mainstream press has attempted to paint the Iraqi claims of American assistance to ISIS as conspiracy theories and the manifestation of jealousy, that same press has been forced to admit that the bombing campaign has resulted in a stronger ISIS presence in Iraq and Syria and that the terrorist group has become stronger in terms of strategic location and military presence. As the Daily Beast reported in January of 2015, American jets are pounding Syria. But ISIS is taking key terrainand putting more and more people under its black banners. ISIS continues to gain substantial ground in Syria, despite nearly 800 airstrikes in the American-led campaign to break its grip there. At least one-third of the countrys territory is now under ISIS influence, with recent gains in rural areas that can serve as a conduit to major cities that the so-called Islamic State hopes to eventually claim as part of its caliphate. Meanwhile, the Islamic extremist group does not appear to have suffered any major ground losses since the strikes began. The result is a net ground gain for ISIS, according to information compiled by two groups with on-the-ground sources. In Syria, ISIS has not any lost any key terrain, Jennifer Cafarella, a fellow at the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for the Study of War who studies the Syrian conflict, explained to The Daily Beast. Even U.S. military officials privately conceded to The Daily Beast that ISIS has gained ground in some areas, even as the Pentagon claims its seized territory elsewhere, largely around the northern city of Kobani. Thats been the focus of the U.S.-led campaign, and ISIS has not been able to take the town, despite its best efforts. The report continued by pointing out that the ISIS gains were not only in terms of land mass but also in terms of control of people, meaning populated areas and strategic locations. It reads, Assessing the map, ISIS has almost doubled its territorial control in Syria. But more importantly, the number of people who now live under ISIS control has also increased substantially, CDS political adviser Mouaz Moustafa said. With the fall of that much territory into ISIS hands, Syrians who once lived in ungoverned or rebel held areas are now under ISISs grip. Of course, in an irregular war like this one, control of people is far more important than control of territory. In that regard, too, things appear to be going in the wrong direction. [] Since the U.S. campaign began in August, there are little buds of ISIS control in eastern Homs, al Qalamoun [which borders northern Lebanon], and southern Damascus that do appear to be growing because of that freedom of operation that can connect those western cells to key ISIS terrains in Raqqa and Deir ez Zour in northern and eastern Syria. While the United States and NATO act as al-Qaedas Air Force in Iraq and Syria, Saudi Arabia and the Arab League fulfill the same role in Yemen. In addition to bombing the Houthi rebels in a bid to retain ousted President Hadi in power and to prevent the possibility of greater Iranian influence in the region, the Saudis have also provided direct air support for extremists and al-Qaeda jihadis who are currently on the ground in Yemen, themselves taking control of swaths of territory. For instance, in an interview with NPR, Leila Fadel stated: Well, al-Qaeda has been growing in Yemen for a while. But it seems to be accelerating in the midst of this bombing campaign. And it [al Qaeda] is not a focus of the Saudi-led airstrikes right now. [] But critics say that actually Saudis war is feeding al-Qaeda. One western diplomat says al-Qaedas actually growing like a weed right now. And a spokesman for al-Qaeda inside Yemen says theyre really happy with the airstrikes because its weakening their enemies, who are the Houthis and the Yemeni army. In other words, the Saudi airstrikes are enabling al-Qaedas influence and territorial gains to spread across the country. This, of course, should come as no surprise to any informed observer. Saudi Arabia has long been recognized as the largest supporter of terror worldwide, only attempting to slightly veil its support for terrorist organizations like ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Chechen rebels. That support for terror and terrorism comes with the obvious blessing of the United States, Israel, and NATO since that terror is directed at target countries abroad and a dissatisfied but compliant target population at home. The fact is that al-Qaeda, IS, and the other related terrorist organizations function as the CIAs Arab legion. They are used to weaken and overthrow governments as well as to act as a constant bogeyman for populations back home so that civil liberties and Constitutional rights will be sacrificed willingly for the perception of security. If the American people will wise up to this fact, one of the major tools used by the world oligarchy to terrorize the domestic population and the rest of the world will be yanked from their hands.

1	Saying it was a waste of $11, Los Angeles resident Dan Bevver expressed disappointment Sunday that The Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3 was not nearly as bad as he had been anticipating. After going in with expectations of hammy acting and clichd dialogue, Bevver was irritated to find an adequate retelling of the 1974 film, with performances that ranged from acceptable to decent. 'I really thought this was going to be Battlefield Earth bad,' Bevver said. 'It had all the makings of a total shit-show: an unnecessarily reworked script, lots of explosions, Travolta with a mustache. But it was kind of watchable. What a shame.' In order to salvage his night, Bevver went home and fell asleep midway through Leonard Part 6. 
3	That Awkward Moment When One Nobel Peace Prize Winner Bombs AnotherBy Dan Sanchez It was no use. The attackers already knew full well what their target was. Doctors Without Borders had long ago provided them with theGPS coordinates of their facilities. And the US-installed Afghan government, which hadraided that very same hospital in July of this year, had requested the strike, claiming the hospital was being used by insurgents. The attack killed 22 people, including 12 medical workers and 10 patients. Three of the patients were children. The first bombardment targeted the Intensive Care Unit, where an eyewitness nursesaid, Patients were burning in their beds. And a hospital caretakersaid that he could hear women and children, screaming for help inside the hospital while it was set ablaze by the bombing. Doctors Without Borders won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. President Obama was awarded his in 2009. As Commander-in-Chief of the military that bombed the Doctors Without Borders hospital, this makes Obama perhaps the first Nobel Peace Prize winner to bomb another Nobel Peace Prize winner. Or maybe not? Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, and he masterminded the secret bombing of Cambodia and Laos for President Nixon around that time. Shortly thereafter, it came to light that in that campaign, hospitals were routinely targeted for bombing. As The Nation recentlyreported: A letter from former Army captain Rowan Malphurs said that in 1969 and 1970, he analyzed aerial photographs where B-52 bombs (the ones ordered by Kissinger) fell on Cambodia: I saw on several occasions where possible hospitals had been bombed. On another occasion I observed a red cross on a building that was partially destroyed by bombs. By then, the Red Cross had already been awarded itsthree Nobel Peace Prizes. Sorry, Obama, it looks like thats one historic first you cant claim. That old fox beat you to it. If it makes you feel any better, Kissinger seems to think your mass-murder record actually beats his. (I know this will warm your heart, since you oncebragged, Turns out Im really good at killing people.) When confronted about bombing Cambodia on a recent book tour, Kissingersaid in his own defense: I think we would find, if you study the conduct of guerrilla-type wars, that the Obama administration has hit more targets on a broader scale than the Nixon administration ever did. () And I bet if one did an honest account, there were fewer civilian casualties in Cambodia than there have been from American drone attacks. Whether that dubious claim is true or not, its the thought that counts. Consider it a compliment: a gold star from teacher. Or even an elder statesmans passing of the torch: from one peace-prize winning war criminal to another.

I would like to see I wish you were head of the DOJ. The Nobel Peace Prize has lost any meaning or respect much like Obama. Like how debt is now divided into good debt and bad debt perhaps we can divide Nobel Peace Prize winners into good winners and bad winners? Red Cross and MSF as good winners and Kissinger and Obama as bad winners? This gruesome, comedic anomaly just emphasises how truth always triumphs in the end (and this is the end, for sure.) Truth simply will not and cannot be forever denied, even by historys greatest liars, i.e., government actors and playwrights: dreamers of self-greatness. 
2	Carson Makes Things Clear: One Must Reject Sharia Law To Be President Presidential Candidate Ben Carson is quickly going from one of the quietest candidates in the race to one of the most controversial. This began last week, when he claimed that he would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. Now, Carson feels that he deserves the opportunity to clarify what he meant by his comments. Let me tell you what I would advocate. I would advocate that people go back and look at the transcript of what I actually said, he told reporters. I would have problems with somebody who embraced all the doctrines associated with Islam. If they are not willing to reject sharia and all the portions of it that are talked about in the Quran. If they are not willing to reject that, and subject that to American values and the Constitution, then of course, I would. I would ask you, would you be willing to do that? Would you be willing to advocate for somebody who would not do that? Probably not. Is it possible that maybe the media thinks its bigger deal than the American people do? Because American people, the majority of them, agree and they understand exactly what I am saying. I know a lot of Muslims who are very patriotic, good Americas, he continued. And they gladly admit at least privately that they dont accept Sharia or the doctrines and they understand that Islam is a system of living and it includes the way that you relate to the government and you cannot unless you specifically deny that portion of Islam, be a Muslim in good standing. What do you think? Do you support Carson is his comments? Is the Quran fundamentally anti-American? 
2	ISIS Ties A Spy To A Cross... What They Did Next Is Horrifying [GRAPHIC] Over the past few months, ISIS has gained a reputation for releasing graphic and disturbing execution videos, which theyve used to threaten the United States among other countries. Not too long ago, they gained international intention when they released a series of videos beheading American and British hostages. Shortly thereafter, they released a video of terrorists burning a Jordanian pilot trapped in a cage. Now, theyve released yet another video entitled Deterring the Spies 1 showing a man ISIS accused of being a spy tied to a cross. ISIS then goes on to chop off the mans hand and foot with a sword. Prior to having his limbs removed, the man is shown confessing to his crimes. Meanwhile, a verse from the Koran is shown on the screen, reading: The penalty for those who wage war against Allah and his messengeris none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. The clip also threatens that ISIS is in possession of other spies who are due to be executed. Does ISIS need to be stopped immediately? President Obama needs to step up now and take action. 
3	Take Your Children Out of Government SchoolsDave Hodges, Contributor However, school shootings are such an isolated event, I am not sure how to protect against students other than by having armed guards on every campus in America. Aside from school violence, there are some other very compelling reasons that parents may want to consider when deciding where and how to educate their child. This is the first in a multi-part series which will clearly delineate the reasons why those in the know will never let their child darken the doors of the nations government schools. Many American government run schools are largely becoming bastions of ignorance and underachievement. In short, many schools are not doing their job. School districts across America flirt with every new educational fad, most of which most are scientifically unproven when it comes to positively improving the academic performance of students, thus, resulting in an enormous waste in tax dollars. Subsequently, much is made of reforming the schools and improving student performance. Yes, government schools are doing their job. They are producing students who are educated enough to greet you at Walmart, but too stupid to question authority with any meaningful resolve. Government schools are perpetuating a state of perpetual idiocracy. What are parents to do about the epidemic underachievement of our government-educated children? The short answer appears to be move. Move your children out of the government-run schools. Or perhaps, move your children totally out of the country. This is not an outrageous statement when one considers that students in Latvia, Chile and Brazil are making gains in academics three times faster than American students and those in Portugal, Hong Kong, Germany, Poland, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Colombia and Lithuania are improving at twice the rate states a recently published by Harvard Universitys Program on Education Policy and Governance. The Harvard researchers estimate that the educational gains made by students in those 11 countries equate to about two years of learning. The Harvard study found no relevant correlation between increasing the per-pupil spending and gains in test scores. In 2009, the U.S. spent more than $10,000 per student, ranging from $6,356 in Utah to $18,126 in New York. Utah graduates a higher percentage of its students than does New York. Yet, school funding is the number reason given by government officials to support the need to impose a property tax on American citizens. Property tax is one of the planks of the Communist Party. Eric Rudner (1999) analyzed the test scores of over 20,000 American homeschooled students and found them to be exceptionally high with the median scores of homeschoolers placing in the 70th to 80th percentile. This is a mean difference of about 25% between homeschooled children and children educated in the government schools. Twenty five percent equates to three grade levels. Do you remember the Harvard study in which our foreign competitors were two grade levels ahead of American schools. The message is clear, close the government schools and home school the children. Government schools are increasingly propagandizing our children. For example, the new unproven religion being worshipped in the government schools is environmentalism and global warming. Oops, I meant to say climate change, not global warming. I almost forgot that the global warming crowd changed their name when they got caught committing scientific fraud three years ago from hacked emails at East Anglia University in which researchers admitted, through their hacked emails, that global warming was a hoax. Yet, this is the new religion of the American educational system and the facts be damned. One of the more compelling reasons to home school your children is because parents do not want their children going to school with this guy The Common Sense Show features a wide variety of important topics that range from the loss of constitutional liberties, to the subsequent implementation of a police state under world governance, to exploring the limits of human potential. The primary purpose of The Common Sense Show is to provide Americans with the tools necessary to reclaim both our individual and national sovereignty.

3	The NDAA Explained in 3 MinutesSCG 
1	After a series of delays, Josh Brooks, 29, reportedly informed his two roommates Monday evening that he was going to Taco Bell with or without them. Taco Bell 'I'm going,' said Brooks, a distribution manager for the Bowling Green Sentinel-Tribune. 'You guys don't have to come. But if you want to, I'm going, like, now. I'm grabbing my keys, then I'm out of here.' Brooks first proposed a trip to the Taco Bell restaurant on East Wooster St. at 6:13 p.m., echoing the popular ad campaign of the Mexican fast-food giant with his suggestion that the three friends 'make a run for the border.' 'Look, I don't have all night,' Brooks said. 'But if you guys want to come with me... to get some delicious hot Mexican food...' Roommates Tony Solomon, 26, and Ron Alexander, 25, reportedly expressed lukewarm interest in the excursion. 'Yeah, manI guess I could go for a Steak Soft Taco or something,' Solomon said, without looking up from the television. 'Yeah, I guess I'll go.' Alexander's interest in the meal was coupled with serious reservations. 'I should get out of the house for a while, but I'm pretty broke,' he said, walking to his bedroom. 'I'll go look for some change.' After several minutes of watching his roommates' preparations, Brooks said again that he was in no mood to wait. Brooks announces his departure to the Taco Bell on East Wooster St. (left). 'Tone, you don't need the jacket,' Brooks told Solomon, who had begun to search the floor around the couch for clothing. 'Let's just go. It's 10 minutes away. We'll be in the car the whole time. Round trip'll take 30 minutes, tops. C'mon.' 'You don't need your warm-ups, Beckham,' Brooks added, sighing. 'Listen, I'm out of here in two minutes whether you guys are with me or not.' Gathering his wallet and keys, Brooks relocated to the area by the front door. 'Ronnie, I'll buy you a taco if you want,' Brooks said, calling into the back bedroom. 'I'm getting old here. I'm not going to bring anything back, so if you want it, you gotta come. Now.' Continued Brooks: 'Or not. Whatever. I just thought we'd talked about how we all wanted to go. Just make up your minds, kids, 'cause the train's leaving the station.' 'Okay!' Brooks said, clapping his hands as Alexander emerged from the bedroom. 'It's TB time.' In spite of the announcement, the group did not leave. 'Just a sec,' Solomon said, finally rising from the couch. 'I gotta clean up, then we can go.' According to Brooks, this is not the first time Solomon has further delayed the group by wasting time he could have been using to get ready. 'He just sits there and does nothing,' Brooks said to Alexander. 'Just lays on his ass until I make him move. If it weren't for me, that guy would never leave the house. I can't spend my day just waiting for him. If he isn't out here in two minutes, we're leaving without him.' In spite of the pronouncement, Brooks rarely, if ever, leaves the apartment alone after such a threat. According to Solomon, Brooks feels the need to 'decide every last thing we do.' 'It's like last month, when we were throwing this party,' Solomon said later. 'He begged me to go with him to the store to buy the beer. We got there, and before I knew it he was standing at the register with two cases of MGD in cans. He was like, 'Look, man, we're getting MGD cans. That's all there is to it.'' Added Solomon: 'I mean, I like MGD, but he didn't have to be a dick about it.' Dr. Janice Shoreham, a psychiatrist and adjunct professor at Bowling Green State University, said Brooks' behavior is characteristic of an altruistic dominant male in a household of twentysomethings. '[Brooks] sees himself as the lighthouse, and his less-motivated friends as ill-fated ships, cruising toward the rocks,' Shoreham said. 'If he doesn't lead them to safety, or in this case a delicious Seven Layer Burrito, he feels he has let them down.' Brooks disagreed. 'I really don't care if you guys come or not,' Brooks said, opening the front door. 'That's itI'm heading out. I'm vapor. I've been ready, and I'm leaving.' Added Brooks: 'I'm not kidding. I'm leaving now. Are you guys coming or what?' 
1	The Mankato City Council voted 6-3 against the issuance of a $500,000 municipal bond Tuesday, marking the end of one man's tireless, 10-year-long crusade to ensure that a proposed community pool not be built. Draper, who took on City Hall for 10 years to achieve his goal of keeping Mankato poolless. 'Victory!' said Irv Draper, founder of Taxpayers For Wise Choices, who announced the bond's defeat from the steps of City Hall. 'Today, the city council stood up in favor of the long-term interests of tax-paying Mankatoans. After 10 long years of ceaseless toil, I can finally say that a swimming pool will not be built!' Draper, who has led the fight against a municipal pool in Mankato since 1995, threw his hands up and shouted, 'The pool issue is dead in the water!' He then waved a 'No City Pool!' flyer in the air as a handful of municipal employees on a smoking break looked on impassively. Draper, now 47, began his long battle against the public pool in May 1995, when the former director of public works, Bart Janklow, proposed it. Draper mobilized a coalition of six citizens who opposed the pool due to its expense and the traffic congestion and noise it might create. Some believed Draper had lost the battle when a 1996 voters' referendum approved the pool. However, Draper exposed the referendum's irrelevance by citing an ordinance requiring the operating budgets of public works to be unanimously approved by a city-council vote. During his 10-year journey, Draper faced down a great deal of support and enthusiasm for the pool. By 1998, he was the sole remaining member of his coalition, having lost the support of his own allies. Former committee member Doris Heubel said supporters were pushed away by Draper's 'control-freak behavior.' 'We all thought the pool was a bad idea from the start, and we were willing to do the necessary legwork to persuade Mankatoans against the idea,' Heubel said. 'But when Irv called us for the third 2 a.m. 'brainstorming session' or chastised us for not knowing how to read blueprints, a lot of us started to feel that our time could be spent in other, more positive, ways.' After 328 council meetings, 5,863 letters, four lawsuits, and an estimated 41,000 man-hours, Draper has earned a reputation as a crazy jackass who will journey to hell and back to make sure Mankato's children do not swim in a city-owned pool. 'Oh yeah, the pool guy,' local resident Curtis Einblad said. 'I saw him bitching on cable access. What's his deal? Doesn't he have a job or a family to go home to?' Draper has a family and works full time as an administrative file clerk at Minnesota State University. His all-consuming passion, however, is the continued non-existence of a city pool. In 1998, Draper even made an unsuccessful run for district alderman, basing his platform on open access to pool-related city documents. 'Some have criticized me as single-minded,' Draper said. 'But I think my efforts have shown that you can't be apathetic about civic affairs if you want to make something not happen. One citizen can, and did, prevent something from being created.' Draper has made sacrifices for his cause. His daughter Anne-Marie, now 19 and attending Oberlin College in Ohio, said she remembers her father as 'a blur of photocopied documents and newspaper clippings.' She can recall only one time he was not deeply engaged in pool-opposition work. 'It was when Grandma died,' Anne-Marie said. 'Dad was really sad at the funeral. But then, at the reception afterwards, he started talking about how the contractor the city wanted to use had been indicted for fraud in 1988.' Draper said his primary asset is his obstinance. One by one, his adversaries on the city council relented on the issue or turned their attention to other matters. Many of those who didn't relent eventually died or moved away. 'Democracy is often a tedious process,' Draper said. 'If you want something not accomplished, you have to hang in there. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. There will be no municipal pool. Not on my watch.' 
2	Jesse Ventura Goes After Taya Kyle, So She Does THIS Instead Jesse Ventura angered America when he brought a lawsuit against American hero Chris Kyle and his widow Tara Kyle. Now, it looks like although Ventura walked away with $1.8 million, the battle isnt over for him yet. Recent reports indicate that Taya has filed an appeal of the judges decision, ordering that the ruling was a mistake. Her attorney, John Borger, maintains that there was no justification presented for the decision. Ventura sued the Kyle estate over a passage in the book in which Chris described an altercation with Ventura, claiming that he punched the former Minnesota governor in a bar fight. Ultimately, Ventura was awarded $500,000, and was given an additional $1.3 million that Kyle supposedly earned from the story. The Judge on the case ultimately ruled that the assertion that Chris exaggerated the altercation was supported by a preponderance of evidence. Borger is now arguing that the jury must have been misinformed by the judge, otherwise they would have drawn a very different conclusion. What do you think? Will Taya be victorious in reclaiming her husbands hard-earned estate? 
1	Expressing their deepest most heartfelt sympathy, the American public announced Thursday that they feel really fucking terrible for the poor woman who sits between Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith on the ESPN program First Take. What could she have possibly done to deserve something so fucking horrible? said despondent ESPN viewer Mark Humphrey, adding that enduring the arguments of Bayless and Smith was nothing short of cruel and inhumane punishment. That poor, poor woman. Why are they making her do this? I cant imagine being in that appalling position. Those two are just repulsive monsters. At press time, Bayless and Smith were screaming about whether Tim Tebow would fit into the Patriots offense along with Tom Brady while the woman was silently cutting herself. 
2	What George Strait Just Sacrificed For The Future Of The South Will Go Down In History... Georges music is loved by so many people and has been enjoyed for years and years. There is no question about his performing ability or his song quality. Now there is no question on how philanthropic Mr. Strait is. Mr. Strait just made a very generous donation to the Kids of Texas. The donation was made during the Navarro Country Go Texan event. The event is one of the largest social gatherings for the entire community. The foundation itself does an amazing job for the community. They gave 40 students scholarships that ranged from 18,000 dollars all the way to 72,000 dollars. For a student paying for in state tuition, that amount covers the entire cost of a higher education. This year strait has been more than generous in his donation to this extremely worthy cause. His donations will no doubt help kids down the road. Strait made multiple donations to the Navarro County area. He donated a lot of tickets to the George Strait Team Roping classic that is considered a literal big ticket event. In addition to the tickets strait donated many small autographed items that people could bid on in a silent auction. These two items alone will be putting a kid through college. Strait also made a monetary donation of an undisclosed amount. Thank you George Strait for showing us how a true American should act. Would donate to this amazing cause? 
2	Krauthammer just unleashed on this traitors for what theyre doing to Trump. Obama, along with Democrats and the mainstream media have been doing everything they can to hurt Trump. They make up all kinds of excuses to why Trump won and call him illegitimate, and now many Democratic House members are protesting the inauguration. There is this consensus among Democrats that they dont even want to try working with Trump or give him a chance and that is really dangerous. On Fox, Bret Baier talked to Krauthammer about the 68 Democratic House members that are protesting the inauguration. Let me ask it this way, if 68 Republicans decided not to show up for the inauguration of President Obama, how do you think the press coverage would go down? Bret Baier asked. Their heads would explode. It would be on the front pages, started Krauthammer. There would be editorials on the front page denouncing the Republicans for violating the spirit of the comedy that we are supposed to see on the day of national unity, he continued. Theres a great, honored, sacred civic ceremony, extremely unusual. We have done it uninterrupted since the late 1790s, and you dont sit out for what are really trivial reasons. You dont like the guy? It doesnt matter. Its a national event. You ought to show some respect, said Krauthammer. He is right. The Democrats are acting way more inappropriately than Republicans ever have towards a Democratic president. Check out the video below. 
2	Kellyanne Lights Up NBC Anchor For Spreading Lies, Were Going To Have To Rethink Our Relationship... Earlier this week, Kellyanne Conway and NBCs Chuck Todd got into a heated debate after Todd claimed that Sean Spicer was lying when he said Trumps crowds were larger than Obamas at the recent inauguration. Let me begin with this question, the presidency is about choices, Todd said. So Im curious why President Trump chose yesterday to send out his press secretary to essentially litigate a provable falsehood when it comes to a small and petty thing like inaugural crowd size. I guess my question to you is, why do that? Im about things that are quantifiable and important, Conway continued. I dont think thatI dont think ultimately presidents are judged by crowd sizes at their inauguration. I think theyre judged by their accomplishments. Todd continued to push the issue until Conway finally put a stop to it. Chuck, I mean, if were going to keep referring to our press secretary in those types of terms I think that were going to have to rethink our relationship here. I want to have a great open relationship with our press. But look what happened the day before talking about falsehoods, she said. We allowed the press the press to come into the Oval Office and witness President Trump signing executive orders, she concluded. And of course, you know, the Senate had just confirmed General Mattis and General Kelly to their two posts. And we allowed the press in. And what happens almost immediately? A falsehood is told about removing the bust of Martin Luther King Junior from the Oval Office. No, thats just flat out false. 
3	What the College Industrial Complex Doesnt Want You To KnowDave Hodges The Exorbitant Cost of a College Education Is No Accident The elite have created a post-secondary education system which is out of the financial reach of an increasing number of middle-class students. This is deliberate and it is NOT being driven by market forces. It is a conspiracy concocted by the wealthy to limit the elites children to the dangers of competition from middle-class children. Yet, on the other side, the elite have convinced the federal government to fund the college educations of the poor and the disadvantaged so they can create competition for the middle class. The omnipresent goal is to create a bifurcated two-class feudal society, and education is the starting point in this plot to control social stratification. There Is Way to Avoid This The astronomically rising costs of funding a college education, as well as the establishment of predatory lending practices, are the weapons of the mass destruction being used against the middle class ability to obtain a college degree. This is classic divide-and-conquer class warfare. However, there are cracks in the educational caste system, and I am going to reveal a few strategies which might allow you to provide a college education for your children. The economics underlying the obtaining of a college degree are as exploitative as any scheme which could have been devised by the most ardent dictators who are hell bent on creating a society of haves and have nots. Consequently, middle-class children are cast into a corrupt system of debt enslavement in order to fund a college education. Conversely, the wealthy dont blink an eye at spending $60,000 per year to send their children to schools like the University of Southern California. And before the bleeding heart liberals jump through their computer screen to attack me, please allow me to state that I am not opposed to helping poor children to become what God intended them to be. I am opposed to poor children getting access to a benefit which is increasingly being denied to middle class children. Both strata of socio-economic classes deserve the same opportunity. I am not socialist, but in this case I would support taking back the bailout money and ending the war in Afghanistan and applying the savings to funding a free post-secondary education system. Oh, but that would not benefit the agenda of the elite, because their kids might get competition for meaningful jobs by children from the wrong side of the tracks. You Want Answers? So, what is a middle-class parent to do? The options are very narrow, but there is a way to finance a college education at a fraction of the cost that young adults face when they set foot on a university campus this coming September. However, I do not expect that this opportunity will remain available indefinitely because universities are actively lobbying against the plan that I am setting forth here which will finance college education at a fraction of the cost. The strategies to reduce college costs will be covered later in this article, but first parents must prepare your child to be college ready at an early age if they want to reap the benefits of the tuition reduction plan. The Middle School Years Form the Foundation for Funding a College Education Most college courses require a certain level of literacy, math skills and work ethic. If a child is encouraged to develop the critical and essential basic skills in seventh and eighth grade, a foundation is set in order to take honors classes in ninth and tenth grade. Honors courses often provide a student with the academic rigor that they will need in order to be prepared to master the skill sets needed to begin to take college courses at a young age. The middle school years are the age that parents need to invest in tutors, if needed, and to look for alternative methods to prepare their children for college courses. For example, last year my son took a reading comprehension and speed reading course on Sunday afternoons at a local college designed for elementary aged children. We also pay a small fee for him to be tutored in math, science and literature. To get your child college ready, I strongly recommend the development of a study skills plan for your child. The one that I chose for my son is called the Study, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R). This was the study skills plan that I was taught in seventh grade, along with speed reading. I was able to utilize the SQ3R method starting in middle school and I successfully employed these study principles all the way through my post-graduate education. I teach a modified version of the SQ3R to my students on the first day of class and I am now beginning to teach it to my son. And no, I do not have a business relationship with the creators or publisher of this method. I use the system because it works. I also suggest that children take as much math as they possibly can at an early age because math forces a child to use different parts of the brain. The earlier math is introduced to a child, the easier the mastery of math is obtained. The brain goes through a definitive and major change between the ages of 11-12, and this is the time that a child should be taking Algebra as well as foreign language. During the period from six to puberty, scientists have found that the gray-matter spike shifts to the temporal and parietal lobes. These parts of the brain play a major role in language skills and spatial relations which are critical to math. The growth rate of these brain cells then falls off fast, which may explain why, as a rule, the ability to learn languages declines sharply after the age of 12. Therefore, the window of maximum opportunity is narrow. As children age, brain growth moves in a sort of wave from the front of the brain to the rear which results in an increase in gray matter in the front part of the brain right before puberty, which occurs around age 11 in girls and 12 in boys. This is your optimal developmental window to introduce pre-college learning experiences which are critical to later success. How do I know this? This is part of what I have taught at the university level. I would also advise parents to get their children to take some career interest inventories and identify a career path as early as possible. Academic indecision and changing majors are two huge factors which will drive up the cost of a college education. A solid career interest inventory test that I have utilized is the Self Directed Search by John Holland. Again, I have no financial interest in this testing instrument. As your child becomes college ready, it is time to move to the next step which involves taking dual enrollment college courses at their local high school. Turning Eleventh and Twelfth Grade Into a Money-Maker If you live in or near a metropolitan area anywhere in the United States, you will find high schools which offer dual enrollment. Dual enrollment is a program in which a high school student takes a high school course which is also offered in conjunction with a nearby community college as a 3-5 credit college course. Parents do have to find the funds to pay for these tuition costs. However, these costs are relatively minimal compared to the cost of a university education. Lets look at a cost comparison in Arizona which is typical for students living in any state. The University vs. the Community College Its fun and it is sexy to go away from home to a major university. There are no parental restrictions, no curfew, there is an abundance of alcohol, a plethora of social gatherings and there is of course the opposite sex. It is exciting, but it is a very expensive way to break away from parental controls. Middle class students should come to grips with the fact that there is a much more efficient and cheaper way to grow into adulthood than the four-year university on-campus experience. For many students, a four-year university experience can produce the kind debt which can enslave a person instead of creating economic opportunity, which is what education was intended to do. I have composed a typical cost comparison between attending a University or a Community College for two years. For an incoming freshman who will be attending Arizona State University (ASU), the following are the cost estimates of attending ASU as published on the ASU website. IN-STATE Base tuition and fees: $9,724 OUT-OF-STATE Base tuition and fees: $22,977 There are some high schools which offer dual enrollment courses for nearly every discipline. In some high schools, students are earning an Associates two-year degree by the time they graduate from high school. A potential ASU student would save a huge sum of money by enrolling in dual enrollment courses offered through the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) while still in high school. Maricopa Community College Tuition Schedule 2013-2014 Registration Fee: $15 per semester Resident Tuition: $81 per credit hour (subject to change) or $2,430 per year for 15 credit hours Out-of-County: $317 per credit hour Audit Fees: $25 additional fee per credit hour/plus tuition/fee Non-Resident: $317 per credit hour $215 per credit hour courses offered out of Arizona, including distance learning, to non-resident, out-of-state students Do the Math For a total of $4,890 a high school student can fund the first two years of a college education. I did not include book costs because in a state-supported high school, textbooks are generally offered free of charge. The same student attending ASU for their first two years has paid almost $40,000. Your child is saving themselves over $35,000 by taking dual enrollment courses. By the way, the ASU estimates of only paying a $1,000 per semester for books is grossly underestimated. If a student takes the normal five course (three credits each), they are paying $100-200 per book. Again, do the math and you will note that ASU is understating textbook costs, and many courses require more than one book. What If Your Local High School Has Limited Dual Enrollment Opportunities? It is possible that your family may live in area in which your local high school may not offer many dual enrollment courses. Most states mandate open enrollment for just these kinds of reasons. Parents, do your homework and find a high school which offers a variety of dual enrollment courses and subsequently enroll your child. If all else fails, there are community colleges which offers online dual enrollment college credit and will coordinate with your local high school counselors. Dont wrinkle your nose up at online learning; it is the inevitable wave of the future because it is cost effective. This Window May Not Be Open Long In 2001, I testified before the House of Representatives Education Committee at the Arizona State Legislature with regard to the quality of dual enrollment programs and high school students readiness to take on these challenges. My testimony was offered as a counter to the ASU paid lobbyists which tried to get lawmakers to outlaw dual enrollment programs. ASUs had a clear financial motive to oppose dual enrollment; it was taking money out of their coffers. The Arizona Legislature reached a compromise in which they limited students to taking only two dual enrollment courses in any one semester unless they were ahead on their credits needed for high school education. I have discovered that this is a typical restriction in most states. It is very easy to get ahead on credits. For example, in the summer before a students junior year, a student should enroll in one or two community college courses, which can be offered as dual enrollment at their high school, or by taking the class online. If You Cant Beat Them, Join Them Today, ASU has embraced online education and is no longer attempting to destroy dual enrollment programs. However, the federal government will not acquiesce so easily. If more and more students opt for dual enrollment as a means of avoiding the predatory lending practices for obtaining and paying back a federal student loan, you can look for the feds to move in and control dual enrollment in the same manner as ASU attempted to back in 2001. A Final Cost Analysis Cutting back on college costs and avoiding predatory student loans will result in financial savings which are substantial to a middle income family. Four years at ASU will cost an in-state student around $80,000. By following the plan I have laid out here in which a student attends an ASU satellite campus for only the last two years and lives at home, will cost a middle-class student around $40,000 to obtain a college degree. And with these kinds of reasonable costs, a college student can fund their own college education with a fairly minimal part-time job. And by avoiding predatory federal loan practices, you will, unlike Kenneth Wright, not have a SWAT team breaking down your front door, physically abusing you and terrorizing the rest of your family members for the non-repayment of an estranged wifes college loan. The biggest advantage to following this plan is that when a college graduate launches their career, they will not do so under the tyrannical thumb of the federal government, at least not yet. And one more warning for your soon-to-be college student. Do not send them to a high school where the recently implemented Common Core curriculum is the base standard of their educational system. The system is designed to lessen math achievement and compromise literature courses.

2	Trump Under Fire For Allegedly Donating To Clinton Campaign, Until He Reveals THIS Donald Trump has been under fire for allegedly donating to the Clinton Foundation. He has lost the support of many Conservatives for this reason alone. However, Trump has finally come forward with his reasoning. I did give to the Clinton Foundation. What I didnt know is theyd be using it for private aircraft and things like that, Trump said. The Clinton Foundation was helping with Haiti and with lots of other things, and I thought it was going to do some good work, so it didnt make any difference to me, he added. Again, I was a businessman, and it was my obligation to get along with everybody, including the Clintons, including Democrats and liberals and Republicans and conservatives, he said. As a businessman, I had an obligation to do that. Some supporters are alarmed that he feels obligated to get along with people, and that this might affect his decision making in office. We think that once Trump is in the White House, his past business experience will give him a leg up. He wont feel any obligation because he knows he has the power. Does Trump still have your vote? 
2	Obama Caught In Monumentally Treasonous Act This Is Grounds For Impeachment According to recent reports, some experts are beginning to believe that President Obama may actually be helping ISIS. We all know that Obama has been slow to action against the Islamic terrorist organization. Now, Lt. Col. Oliver North is coming forward to claim that Obama may actually be derailing the efforts of others attempting to take down ISIS. According to North, both Egypt and Libya have requested information from the U.S. government about ISIS plans to target Libya and Syria. Obama is yet to release this information. President el-Sissi (of Egypt) asked for American intelligencetargeting intelligence before he led the strikes. They didnt get it, North claimed during an interview on Fox. King Abdullah of Jordan asked for intelligence data on targets to respond to the murder of a Jordanian aircraft pilot. The Kurds are beginning for arms and ammo from the United Statesnot one bullet has been delivered. What do you think? Is Obama intentionally slowing down attacks against ISIS? Does he need to be kicked out of the White House immediately? 
3	The Psychology of Being a Non-Conspiracy TheoristBernie Suarez Conspiracy theorist says: You are claiming that fire alone can cause a building to self-implode, descend at freefall speed into its own footprint? Thats physically impossible, what about Newtons Laws and laws of thermal dynamics and such? Non-conspiracy theorist says: No, you are wrong because you are a conspiracy theorist. And with that, often the non-conspiracy theorist will walk away. Whats happening? They had nothing to elaborate on, so the non-conspiracy theorist whose thinking is engineered and controlled by government, mainstream media and Hollywood entertainment resorted to a socially engineered answer. For this reason it is fascinating to explore the mindset and psychology of the individuals who take this position in place of a logical stance. Core defect and twisted meanings By definition, conspiracy means a group of two or more people secretly plotting (or conspiring) a harmful (or evil) deed against another person(s). This behavior is part of human nature. Humans have been conspiring against each other since the beginning of time. There was a never a time in world history when such an elementary behavior (of conspiring against an enemy) did not exist. Can you find a period in history when a certain human emotional trait or action didnt exist? Was there a time when the human genome didnt express jealousy, game playing, free trading, rage, or happiness? As odd or ridiculous as this may sound, non-conspiracists unknowingly subscribe to this logic. If evidence points to a conspired crime, why not treat it as such? Why demonize the very concept of conspiring? This is a core defect in the thought process of non-conspiracy theorists. You can easily identify them by their speech. The headsets adding to the confusion is like the TV and mainstream media news. Since they themselves refuse to look at the evidence, they put their faith in the government and in the mass corporate establishment to safely guide them in their reality. They gain a sense of psychological protection from this overall system. Since the information being believed is almost always artificial they need to hear their own opinions repeated to them by the voices on TV so they can confirm (and re-confirm) their own belief system to themselves to be legitimate. At no point will the non-conspiracy theorist plan a day of research or dedicate a few hours every once in a while to research the topic or put any thought into issues. Information and world problems are but one category in a shelf of categories that make up their lives. The non-conspiracy theorist ignores that government has always implemented social engineering and mass mind control on the general public. In order for the non-conspiracy theorist to confidently walk away from someone who challenges their belief system with scientific facts, they need to have a sustained comfort and assurance that what government and mainstream media is saying is true. Maintaining the non-conspiracy delusion The non-conspiracy theorist is thus profoundly psychologically interconnected with todays mass mind control paradigm. They are a species representing a full byproduct of 21st-century social engineering. The doctrine of this type of social engineering programs its believers to believe that when government and media accuses someone of conspiracies then this accusation is cause for someone being considered diseased. The symptoms being paranoia. But paranoia is based on systematized delusions and delusions are based on false beliefs. A proper exploring of meanings brings us back to proving what is true or false. We come full circle and the spin is over. Non-conspiracy theorists dont realize they dwell in this circle of misapplied words, never exploring the meanings or doing the work to determine what is true and what is provable. Non-conspiracy theorists therefore wake up every morning and reach for the mental orientation map known as mainstream media news. Without it they would be disoriented, as they would not know what to believe. They actually believe that if anyone was guilty of wrongdoing at the highest level of government someone would speak out every time and everyone would know about it. They ignore that state secrets are the norm and government operations are conducted in secret. They ignore the consequences each individual at the government and military level faces for blowing the whistle. Despite these consequences many individuals at government level still risk it all and do blow the whistle on government. Despite all this, the idea of maintaining State secrecy is a myth to non-conspiracy theorists. The idea that government would do something immoral, nefarious or criminal is a fiction as well to the non-conspiracy theorist. The history of war, corruption, tyranny and fascism is incidental, coincidental, insignificant and irrelevant to the non-conspiracy theorist. None of these should be used to gauge the events of our times since history is a thing of the past. Non-conspiracy theorists choose not to connect the historical dots. According to them, there is nothing to learn from the history of tyranny and totalitarianism. Anyone attempting to connect the dots is likely a conspiracy theorist. This goes hand in hand with the logic defect we discussed earlier. As the earlier case of the conspiracy theorist having his scientific arguments debunked by virtue of simply being diseased with the accusation of conspiracy theorist. Note, the non-conspiracy theorists use the name as a loaded, proven concept with power to permanently label someone diseased. In this case, attempting to connect the dots automatically tags you as a conspiracy theorist. As far as non-conspiracy theorists are concerned, all critical thought is deferred to the authorities. The scientists do their work and then report the facts to the government and mainstream media who carefully announce to the masses what they should know. Any scientists who speak out and claim to have evidence contradicting government claims must first be endorsed and approved by the mainstream media and government. Without this approval the scientists are marginalized no matter how large their numbers are. Without these ridiculous rules the delusion of being a non-conspiracy theorists cannot be maintained. This is the psychology of tyranny. Tyranny and totalitarianism cannot be implemented without mass mind control. This dangerous group-think mentality will ignore all warning signs to help continue advancing the agenda. And so the non-conspiracy theorist is the most important instrument for maintaining control of the masses. Without these non-conspiracy theorist vessels of the global empire, the plan would not be possible. It is quite possible that years from now the concept of conspiracy will return back to where it belongs right next to other concepts like jealousy, laughter, love, stealing, fighting, friendship, hatred and other human expressions that define who we are. By then perhaps being a friendship theorist, a stealing theorist or a jealousy theorist will be the new propaganda bogey monster term. Or perhaps years from now we will be sick and tired of this vicious cycle of physical and mental slavery. Perhaps people will truly have enough of the control system and will have abolished it by then. Standing by truth I am thrilled to be considered a conspiracy theorist by those still controlled by the social engineering experiments of the last one hundred or so years. We are proof that humans are able to critically think on their own and prefer to be free. We are the embodiment of the resistance, we never run from challenges and debates, we recreated the media and are responsible for the progressive death of the mainstream media. We choose to give humanity a voice outside of the socially engineered control system. We rely on firsthand accounts, physical evidence consistent with natural laws, factual documents, common sense, high probability, and forensic scientific evidence before jumping to conclusions. We do not rely on name calling to give strength to our position and we stand as a reminder that the human mind will never be completely contained. Unraveling the reality we face became normal for us at some point and the information the non-conspiracy theorists consider scary is common news to those of us name called conspiracy theorists. In order to be considered a conspiracy theorist by the non-conspiracy theorists you must believe that government is corrupt. Believing that others are corrupt does not get you the title automatically. The list of what qualifies someone as a conspiracy theorist has been changing rapidly and today is determined by mainstream media and government in real time. Today, only government and mainstream media gets to decide who qualifies as a conspiracy theorist. The thought process of the non-conspiracy theorist is thus predictable and automated because the agenda being followed by government and mass media is predictable. The mindset is: no research required if Associated Press, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN or NPR doesnt agree to report it, then all other sources must be false. This shines a light into the thought process of non-conspiracy theorists. Impact on humanity How creepy does all this sound? We often take for granted the thought process required to make someone believe how they believe and the (mainstream media believing) non-conspiracy theorist mentality is quietly as culpable for the condition of the world today as the individuals who actually carry out the crimes that have put us where we are. Little to no effort is put by non-conspiracy theorists to learn about their own social mindsets, social engineering, group-think, and government propaganda and mind-control history. The non-conspiracy theorists are thus arguably indirectly ushering in many of the religious and cultural prophesies of the end times and the predictions of the doomsday prophets. They are proving to be key vessels in the events that are to come. They have already carved their mark in history as supporters of the global empire. Everyone who has played a role in supporting the global empire of the U.S. has already left their mark. Lets all wait and see how this mental defect will play itself out and what role these non-conspiracy theorists will play in ushering in the final pieces of the global government. Will they be rewarded? Will they support the extermination of all critical thinkers? Will it turn out the non-conspiracy theorists were expressing an alternate DNA or is this idea too far out? Will it turn out they were all part of a larger experiment? Will the final waking up process or critical mass be stomped out by this core of non-conspiracy theorists who blindly believe government-programmed lies? Or will they be responsible for delaying critical mass by a certain amount of time. These and many other questions will be answered in the next few years/decades. Let us not forget the layers of defective logic and blind faith in government required to be considered a non-conspiracy theorist. It sounds bizarre but its true. Its been said that in times of mass deceit that telling the truth is a revolutionary act; this has never been more apparent. Want to make an impact on others? Want to be a giant among men? Then tell the truth and watch the sheep run. There is so much deceit in todays world that if you blindly reverse everything government and mainstream media says, just by default you would be closer to truth than if you believed even some of what they say. Remember the non-conspiracy theorist who says someone would have spoken out? Weve all heard this excuse. Of course, someone always does speak out; only they call those who speak out, no matter how high in government they are, conspiracy theorists, instead of someone who is speaking out or blowing the whistle. Its time to memorialize the web of non-logic that qualifies a non-conspiracy theorist and not take for granted what these individuals mean to our battle for freedom and what key role they will play in the final lockdown of what was once a beacon for freedom throughout the world. Even as each of us carries on every day its difficult to fathom how the average person you come across who is a non-conspiracy theorist is having such a massive impact on millions of people globally and the direction of humanity as a whole including the overall survival of the human race. Bernie Suarez is an activist, critical thinker, radio host, musician, M.D, Veteran, lover of freedom and the Constitution, and creator of the Truth and Art TV project. He also has a background in psychology and highly recommends that everyone watch a documentary titled The Century of the Self. Bernie has concluded that the way to defeat the New World Order is to truly be the change that you want to see. Manifesting the solution and putting truth into action is the very thing that will defeat the globalists. Ditto. Same thing you just said can be reversed. So I guess we got a stale mate here.

2	The Leaked Information About Obamas Birth Certificate Thats Changing Everything... Although President Obama has stood behind his claims that his birth certificate is entirely valid, new evidence has come to the surface that could shatter his confidence. New information has come to light regarding the image of the birth certificate posted to the White House website. It was previously revealed that hidden within the document was a series of layers that proved that the document was not a simple scan. After it was revealed that the document had been altered, a few technologically advanced skeptics decided to dive in to the file to see what they could discover. The first to do so was John Woodman. In a video he released online, he zooms into the certificate, revealing a few items that dont make sense. The first is that some of the letters are solid, the way they would appear had they been scan. Others are pixilated, meaning they had been added to the document via computer at some point. Next, Woodman points to the fact that the letters arent even in uniform. In fact, the letters and spacing is quite differentsomething that is impossible if you are truly using a typewriter. So, at the very least, we know that the document wasnt created when it was alleged. One particularly interesting discrepancy is a layer of wording that reads none, which seems to have been rotated in the document. Even if someone had scanned the document into a program that separates the layers automatically, this shows that someone had actually interacted with the document. Clearly, the document had been placed into the certificate sideways and it had to be rotated. What do you think? Are you ready for the truth to come out about Obamas birth? 
3	Study Proposes Outrageous Solution In Lieu of Family DinnersHeather Callaghan Its almost like a sick joke to finally push for things that are so out of reach for the average family. Especially after decades of culture creation eroding family life away, and an economy deeper in the toilet than ever before. So what could researchers have to offer? But first Foodist extraordinaire Michael Pollan wowed audiences with this obvious gem that the average family spends four minutes in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner. And oh, what could they possibly be eating with a four-minute cleanup, with nary enough time to wash pots and pans? I didnt get swept away by his Chomsky-esque observations. I first heard about him for his standing up for the Food Safety Modernization Act a few years ago a sweeping power giveaway to the FDA laglobal Codex guidelines. It will do the opposite of keeping food affordable, safe or local. So one must ask himself how helpful are these astute observations? New findings from North Carolina State University show that home cooking and family meals place significant stresses on many families and are simply impossible for others. The stress adds an intolerable pressure for sure, but its kind of like they are suggesting it just isnt worth it the whole family thing is just so passe these days. (Theres more of course) And just like Pollans rumblings, how much help will this incredible discovery provide? This paper actually goes under the name of The Joy of Cooking?, published online in Contexts. It was supported by a grant called Agriculture and Food Research Initiative from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. When families have been forced into life without cooking its time for government intervention! Basically, they were studying the relationship and gap presented in popular culture and the realities that people live with when it comes to feeding their children. The researchers interviewed 150 females in families with children between the ages of 2 and 8, as well as conducting observations of 12 of these families for a total of 250 hours. From Dr. Sinikka Elliot: We found that middle-class, working-class, and poor families faced some similar challenges. For example, mothers from all backgrounds reported difficulty in finding time to prepare meals that everyone in the family would be willing to eat. In addition, middle-class mothers reported being torn between their desire to spend quality time with their children and the expectation that they needed to provide the children with a home-cooked meal. Middle-class mothers were concerned that they werent able to give their kids the best possible meals because they couldnt afford to buy all organic foods. Poor families, meanwhile, faced more severe restrictions. Their financial limitations made it more difficult for them to afford fresh produce, find transportation to grocery stories, or have access to the kitchen tools needed to prepare meals such as sharp knives, stoves, or pots and pans. (I guess that answers Michael Pollans ponderings) Bowen said: Poor mothers also skipped meals and stood in long lines at non-profit food pantries to provide food for their children. This idea of a home-cooked meal is appealing, but its unrealistic for a lot of families. We as a society need to develop creative solutions to support families and help share the work of providing kids with healthy meals. [emphasis added] What pray tell, would they be? Elliott said: There are a lot of ways we could do this, from community kitchens where families work together to arranging to-go meals from schools. There is no one answer. But we hope this work inspires people to start thinking outside the family kitchen about broader things we as a society can do when it comes to food and health. [emphasis added] It appears that the family has ultimately played the smallest role in this research. There are enough problems facing quality in the food system as it is. And yes, there are people who do and have in the past, gotten together to help with food prep as a choice. But the crux of the food problem is the economy. Without good jobs for a long time (thanks free trade, thanks Wall St.), access to healthy foods and the time to prepare them is shredded, making it that much harder to withstand the face of food monopolies. Latchkey graduates know the cycle well. So, the answer to a race to the bottom is to be herded together into state-sponsored kitchen gatherings where we all labor together for all? With our new communal family? With what food? How is that different than standing for hours in food lines? What comes next? Hefty grants provided to research like the above, while maybe are good for a reality check, are a thinly veiled attempt to influence Americans to keep their place, eschew their families for the societal family and get used to austerity. Maybe its time to stop thinking in terms of tightening our belts, but taking them off. Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

Not surprisingly, Democrats are blaming Obama for the shift. The GOP needed six seats in order to obtain the Senate. Republicans took over representation for West Virginia, Arkansas, Colorado, South Dakota, Montana and Iowa. In addition to the Senate, Republicans also gained 10 new seats in the House. Mitch McConnell has been the first to celebrate the victory. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will now become minority leader. And he is not happy about the demotion. He has quickly shifted blame to Obama, although he has been a supporter in the past. 
2	Former Clinton Mistress Speaks Out... Reveals Hillary Is A Lesbian Cocaine Addict [VIDEO] Things are looking good for Hillary Clinton. As if an FBI investigation werent enough, a former mistress of Bill Clintons has come forward with claims that could destroy Hillarys reputation once and for all. Former Miss Arkansas Sally Miller claims that she had an affair with Bill back in 1983, while he was still government. During that time, he revealed some scandalous details about Hillarys sex life that she did not want to go public. According to Q Political, Miller described Hillary as a cocaine addict who preferred sex with women to intercourse with men. The only time Hillary gets aroused or agrees to play sexy is after she snorts coke, Bill allegedly told Miller. But even then, shes rigid and frigid. Hillary goes ape-shit crazyI mean screams, hits, and cusses. Sex is a waste of time to Hillary. When we were dating, she talked about making-out with her girlfriends in college because she knew it turned me on. Hillary seemed worldly and more sexually-experienced than me and, at the time, I liked it, Bill reportedly concluded. Miller claims that she was told that Hillary had an abortion without telling him, and was provided cocaine by Bills own brother, Rodger. Watch the claims below and tell us what you think. 
2	Donald Trump Makes Reckless Mistake Well, it seems that Donald Trump wont be catching any breaks any time soon. Although the polls reveal that Trump is topping the GOP nomination spot, hes been the continuous target for liberal fire. Now, Trump made a mistake this week that could quickly bring his shot at president down once for an all. According to NBC news, Trump accidentally tweeted an image that showed Nazi soldiers superimposed on the American flag along his face. The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before catching the attention and screen shots of some followers. The caption posted with the image read: We need real leadership. We need results. Lets put the U.S. back into business. A young intern created and posted the image and did not see the very faded figures within the flag of the stock photo, the Trump campaign claimed in a statement. The intern apologized and immediately deleted the tweet. What do you think? Will Trump bounce back once more? 
3	Arizona Poll Worker Confirms Rigged Primary Testifies Her Machine Gave Out Wrong BallotsBy Matt Agorist The election rigging was so obvious that a hearing was held the following week in the House Gallery to discuss possible courses of action to correct it. On Monday, during the hearing on the election challenge, a Maricopa County poll worker testified the computer system she used to check in voters would not allow her to give the correct ballots to voters. The testimony from Dianne Post confirmed the rampant voter suppression and election rigging which led to the hearing taking place. Post, who is an attorney in Maricopa County, testified that a machine she was using to check in voters at a location failed to give 36 people the proper ballot. It got worse. According to Post, another 22 people at her location were listed in the wrong party and their polling place ran out of ballots for at least two congressional districts. Every single time it happened to me it was a Democratic voter who wasnt able to access a Democratic ballot, she said. Post was only one person in one station, the allegations of suppression spread throughout the state. Posts testimony was backed up byAlisa Wolfe, a resident of Pima County, who testified her voter registration was improperly changed from Democrat to independent, according to the AP. According to Wolfe, when she alerted the Pima County Recorders Office of the problem, they told her it was due to a computer glitch. The Democratic Party, Bernie Sanders, and ironically Hillary Clinton, who was the main beneficiary of the computer glitches and voter suppression, are suing the state citing the alarmingly inadequate number of voting centers resulted in severe, inexcusable burdens on voters countywide, as well as the ultimate disenfranchisement of untold numbers of voters who were unable or unwilling to wait in intolerably long lines, according to the lawsuit. In 2012, Maricopa County had 200 polling locations open on primary day, but reduced the number of polling stations to only 60 for 2016. The extreme reduction of polling locations served to create wait times of over 5 hours to cast a ballot; an extreme amount of time that working class citizens often dont have the luxury of waiting. Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell who was responsible for the reduction in polling places in 2016, attempted to justify her actions by claiming that voter turnout was traditionally low, so she simply reduced the number of polling locations to save money. However, she was either lyingor grossly incompetent as the number of voters had more than doubled from 300,000 in 2012, to 800,000 in 2016. JOE DANA (@JoeDanaReports) March 23, 2016 According to the AP,Tucson resident John Brakey sued Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan and all 15 counties after the election. He contends long lines in Maricopa County suppressed the vote and statewide voter registrations problems led to illegal vote counts. He wants the results decertified, however, according to the attorney general, the results cant even be challenged and Brakeycant show the results would change if the contest was allowed. Since this massive effort to suppress voting, the U.S. Department of Justice has launched an inquiry. The Free Though Project would like to recommend not holding your breath to await the results of said inquiry. The fraud has gotten so rampant that a C-SPAN video even caught it. Clintons victory would have nothing to do with luck, and her premature declaration of the razor thin tie, was no mistake. When campaignminions arent fudging the physical vote count, computers, tasked with tallying the vote, are susceptible to hacking. In 2006, the documentary Hacking Democracy,exposed Diebold and their role in rigging elections with their electronic voting machines. Clinton Eugene Clint Curtis is an American attorney, computer programmer and ex-employee of NASA and ExxonMobil, who also exposed election hacking. He is notable chiefly for making a series of whistleblower allegations about his former employer and about Republican Congressman Tom Feeney, including an allegation that in 2000, Feeney and Yang Enterprises requested Curtiss assistance in a scheme to steal votes by inserting fraudulent code into touch screen voting systems. Curtis is seen in the video below testifying under oath in front of the U.S. House Judiciary Members in Ohio. He tells the members how he was hired by Congressman Tom Feeney in 2000 to build a prototype software package that would secretly rig an election to sway the result 51 / 49 to a specified side.

Follow @MattAgorist I think its all for show to make the public think theres a real election going on. I think all the candidates are actors who recite scripts that are written for them by the think tanks scientists, and all of the back and forth name-calling they do is part of it. Lets face it theyre all actors in the employ of the Zionists, whether in office or running for office. And Im positive that most of the highly visible political commentators (e.g. Alex Jones, Bill O Reilly, Shawn Hannity, Megan Kelly, Bro. Nathaniel, Ryan Dawson, Mark Dice, Jeff Rense, Michael Rivero, et al) are quislings who are hired by the Zionists to keep the ploy in motion in order to keep the public confused distracted. The republican party chieftains stole he primary here in Colorado with their own brand of back door politicians by a fraudulent caucus TRUMP would have won hands down. here is a way to beat machine induced voter fraud: Great idea. Then if they messed with your vote you would have proof. Bet they would never let it happen though. Even if you had proof they tampered with your vote, ( they already do have this from the fiasco of Bush and Gore flipping votes in the Diebold touchscreen system) what will you be able to do about it. Its not who votes that counts but who counts the votes. The crooked system has to be corrected in order for voting to mean anything, and to think this whole government of, by, and for the people was created to avoid JUST THIS. Youre right. Have you seen the JewTube video by Alan Watt titled Globalists agenda for a dumbed-down public?

2	BREAKING: Obama Launches Plan To Allow Illegals To Vote President Barack Obama has made it clear that he wants a Democrat to take office after him, and now it appears that he is not afraid to go to extreme measures to make it happen. According to reports from True The Vote, a lawsuit was just filed by progressive interest groups with help from the U.S. Department of Justice to remove the citizenship verification measures from voter registration. In advance of the 2016 election, the Obama Administration and its radicalized Department of Justice have launched a full scale effort to embolden leftist political allies and destroy election integrity, Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote commented. Todays message is clear: any state or federal agency that works to prevent non-U.S. citizens from registering to vote in 2016 will witness the full wrathlawful or notof the Department of Justice. Engelbrecht then went on to explain that Obamas government consistently uses the DOJ to support the lawsuits of these progressive interest groups. If the American people do not stand against this assault on liberty, where will it end? she asked. What we are witnessing is the common thug ethic on unabashed display in Washington. Common thugs use fear and intimidation as a means to control. Common thugs take what they want, never mind the collateral damage. Common thugs walk out on their responsibilities for selfish convenience. But, these commons thugs can be stopped if law-abiding citizens will stand their ground. What do you think? Is this absolutely disgraceful? Do we need this criminal out of the White House immediately? 
1	Saying that the company could cash in big time on the opportunity, Johnson & Johnson CEO Alex Gorsky expressed his hope to reporters Friday that the pharmaceutical manufacturers family-friendly image would not be tarnished if it dipped into the lethal injection game. Johnson & Johnson has been a respected household name for over 100 years, so I like to think that we wouldnt blemish our reputation too much if we just set up some innocuous subsidiary and started slinging a little sodium thiopental and pancuronium bromide on the side, said Gorsky, who suggested that simultaneously launching a new No More Tears ad campaign featuring an adorable infant would probably bolster its image enough to withstand any blowback over getting a little taste of the lethal injection action. It would be such a small part of our business anyway, so I doubt people would even notice if we were shipping truckloads of chemicals to execution chambers all over the country. Honestly, name the last company that made lethal injection drugs. You cant, right? At press time, Gorsky was reportedly meeting with Johnson & Johnsons board of directors to discuss the feasibility of converting part of the factory where they manufacture baby lotion to produce pentobarbital. 
3	UN Resolution Blames Death Squad Crimes on AssadBrandon Turbeville According to France24, the resolution passed overwhelmingly with 123 nations in favor, 13 opposed, and 46 abstentions. The resolution strongly condemned the continued widespread and systematic gross violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms and all violations of international humanitarian law by the Syrian authorities and the government-affiliated shabbiha militias. In addition, the resolution came extremely close to actually blaming the Syrian government for the August 21 Ghouta chemical weapons attacks by condemning the attack for which it claims the UN inquiry provided clear evidence that surface-to-surface rockets were fired on August 21 from government-held territory into opposition areas, using professionally made munitions containing sarin. Of course, the above statement is carefully worded to suggest that the Syrian government was responsible for the chemical weapons attack by virtue of its claim that such weapons were fired into the rebel-held areas. The reality, however, is quite the opposite since there was a great deal of fighting taking place in and around the very areas from which these rockets were supposedly fired, meaning that there was never any clear evidence that the Assad forces were responsible for firing them. Indeed, the overwhelming majority of the evidence surrounding the Ghouta attacks points to the death squads themselves, not the Syrian military. This hypocritical aspect was pointed out by the Syrian UN envoy Bashar Jaffaari, when he stated that The Saudi regime is the last one that can talk about human rights given its black record in the domain. Jaafari clearly has a point. To this day, Saudi Arabia continues to openly carry out brutal executions of criminals, political dissidents, and those accused of sorcery or witchcraft. These executions are carried out by means of beheadings in the capitol of Riyadh in an area known as Chop Chop Square. In addition, womens rights in Saudi Arabia are virtually non-existent, with women not even afforded the right to drive. Voting too, is restricted for women in local elections. Voting by women in national elections is a non-issue since Saudi Arabia does not have national elections due to its status as an absolute monarchy. Nevertheless, in an ironic statement, Saudi envoy Abdullah al-Mouallimi claimed that the purpose of the resolution was to highlight the suffering imposed on people in Syria such as mass killing, genocide, starvation, torture, oppression, kidnapping, terrorism, and abduction. Of course, each and every one of these charges apply to the death squads funded by Saudi Arabia and operating inside Syria. The death squads have been responsible for unspeakable atrocitiesagainst innocent people ever since the destabilization effort began. In October 2012, the death squads, in typical terrorist fashion, conducted at least four suicide bombings in Aleppo that killed around 40 innocent civilians. Receiving more attention in the media, however, at least until the death squads were found to be responsible, was the infamous Houla Massacre of 2011 where approximately 90 people were killed. Numerous other atrocities have also been documented with videos showing the death squads machine gunning captives, beheading prisoners (see here and here), and forcing young children to behead them. I, myself, have written an article dealing with reports regarding the death squads hanging of a young child after murdering his family in front of him. One can also view the videos of the death squad members beating and humiliating the famous elderly Yellow Man in Aleppo. Indeed, the videos of the torture of prisoners in the hands of the death squads are legion. One need only type the relevant keywords into a YouTube search engine to be greeted with generous results. It was also reported earlier this month that the foreign-backed death squads had been discoveredholding Syrian minority women captive in tunnels and using them as sex slaves for months on end. Unfortunately, the atrocities committed by the death squads have occurred daily in the past and continue to occur on a daily basis. Regardless, the resolution is the third such type of statement to be approved by the UN Rights Committee. Support, however, appears to be dwindling as the votes in favor of a similar resolution in 2012 were somewhat higher than they were this time around. The resolution is scheduled to be brought before the UN General Assembly later this year. Recently by Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

1	In his first major gaffe since taking office, President Obama accidentally stepped too close to the ferocious, man-eating plants of the White House Rose Garden Monday and was nearly devoured whole. According to witnesses, Obama was giving a tour to a group of foreign dignitaries when he leaned against a fence and was pulled headfirst into the pack of thorny stems and meat-eating flora that edge the lawn. 'I should have known it was almost feeding time,' said a surprisingly high-spirited Obama, whose neck and legs were still covered with bandages. 'If the gardener hadn't left out that rake I used to fend them off, there's no doubt their tentacle-like vines would have strangled me and crushed my body into a powder.' In hopes of preventing another embarrassing snafu, White House groundskeepers have erected a large 'Keep Out!' sign near the 5-foot-tall Venus flytraps and will begin feeding the plants 10 live hogs per day instead of eight.

3	Death Squads Ravage Syrian Town - West Calls For ActionTony Cartalucci, Contributor Despite this backpedaling, the US, UK, and French governments are moving ahead with their calls for action and have continued to condemn the Syrian government, which according to the activists they are allegedly citing, were not even responsible for the massacre. Proving that the massacres were carried out by pro-regime thugs and not Al Qaeda terrorists who are renowned for such tactics and known to be operating in the area alongside the so-called Free Syrian Army, will be very difficult for the West if it intends to use this latest tragedy to justify further meddling, especially action from the UN Security Council. Before UN monitors even arrived in Houla, Syria, northwest of Homs and close to the Lebanese border where it is now admitted that militant extremists, cash, and weapons had been freely flowing for months, the US, UK, and France were already calling for the international community to move against the Syrian government, in the latest effort to justify further meddling in the Middle Eastern nation. Frances new Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, has called for the dubious Friends of Syria cadre to meet again to discuss further measures to be taken against Syria while both France and the UK urged for more support to be given to the Syrian opposition, now long exposed as employing terrorist tactics, including indiscriminate bombings, and according to both the UN and Human Rights Watch, the kidnapping, torture, and murder of civilians. Almost immediately after UN monitors arrived in Houla, Syria, the so-called Free Syrian Army declared it was abandoning the UN peace plan, as was predicted from reading reports by Western think-tanks calling for the ending of the UN ceasefire and the recommencing of violence to overthrow the Syrian government. It appears that indeed, death squads, not shelling has cost the lives of the vast majority of the 90 killed in Houla, regardless of which source one cites. The question that must be asked, as in all horrific crimes, is Cui Bono? To whose benefit does it serve to massacre very publicly entire families in close quarters and broadcast the images of their handiwork worldwide? To whose benefit does it serve to immediately jump to conclusions before UN monitors even arrive on scene to make sense of the violence? The Syrian opposition who has been losing tactically, morally, and rhetorically as their extremist background is systematically exposed, their ties to Al Qaeda admitted even by their allies in the Pentagon, and a growing list of atrocities undermining confidence that they will lead Syria into a future anywhere other than the same dystopian tragedy that has befallen Libya? Or the Syrian government who has been steadily keeping at bay the forces of Neo-Conservatives, corporate-funded think-tanks, NATO machinations, and a combined US-Israeli-Saudi plot to divide and destroy its nation, articulated and documented in 2007 by Seymour Hersh in his article, The Redirection? Clearly, Syrias government has everything to lose by making it a policy to brutalize an already self-incriminating, admitted band of sectarian-driven extremists with overt ties to foreign interests. And obviously the Syrian opposition, teetering on either total defeat or receiving a torrent of additional arms and perhaps even NATO military support, had everything to gain by brutalizing the Syrian population at Houla and blaming it on the government, wringing out of tragedy the casus belli the West has been searching for, for months. After the serial lies both the Syrian opposition and the Western corporate-media has been caught in, not to mention the deceitful premises used to sell both the Iraq and Libyan wars to the world, is it not unreasonable to question a narrative so quickly concluded and leveraged (in hours) by the West? This, the same West that sat idly by while the Free Syrian Army conducted nationwide terrorist bomb attacks, they themselves admitted they were carrying out. Where was the outrage and calls for action then? The UN condemnation of foreign interests funding militant groups purposefully targeting civilians? Clearly with the massacre at Houla, we find ourselves at another critical juncture where an informed, objective world population must push back against insidious interests clamoring for war to allegedly stop violence they themselves both plotted and have perpetuated.

1	The American people announced Wednesday they remain fully committed to things they recognize, stating that things they have seen or experienced previously are good and that they want more of them. I like things Ive seen before, said 31-year-old Cleveland native Dave Metzen, one of millions of citizens across the nation who reported that the television shows, music, pastimes, foods, technological products, beliefs, and values with which they are familiar at present are their favorite ones. I especially like the things Ive seen a lot of times before. Those are the best ones, Metzen added. When a new thing isnt like any old things, I dont like it at all. According to a recent study, when exposed to a particular thing and asked their opinion of it, 100 percent of Americans who recognized the thing said they liked it. At the same time, 100 percent of Americans who did not recognize the thing reportedly said they did not like it and found it confusing. However, researchers noted that most of those who were exposed to the novel thing a second or third time changed their mind and said they liked it now. In a follow-up study, citizens were exposed to a variety of thingscelebrities, snacks, movie franchises, corporate logos, cultural attitudes, and moreonly one of which they were familiar with. The study found that 100 percent of those surveyed immediately smiled, pointed at the only thing in the group they recognized, and said, That one. I dont like new things unless the new thing is a lot like an old thing, said Phoenix resident Jennifer Alvarez, 54, explaining that she likes it when someone takes a thing she already enjoys and makes a newer version of it that is almost identical to the original thing. When a new thing isnt like any old things, I dont like it at all. If a few old things are put together to make a new thing, thats good, though, Alvarez added. I like things like that. At press time, Americans appeared pleased when told that everyone would continue to make and do things they were already familiar with for the foreseeable future. 
3	Co-ops are now employing more people than corporationsJ.G. Vibes There have been a few who have pointed this out, but until now our assertions have been based purely on speculation from researching history and wishful thinking. Not to discount the importance of historical knowledge, but it was difficult to find signs that could be pointed out to show where exactly this transition may be leading. However, in the past year, and especially in recent months, information has been emerging that is at least starting to show what the path looks like. As I have expressed in many previous articles on Spains time banks and decentralized currencies in Greece, in some of the areas that are getting hit the hardest, there has been a natural ability for people to devise ways to replace the collapsing system with a more user friendly alternative. The path that I alluded to before, the path out of this economic mess that has been created by governments and central bankers lies in the informal economy and the mutual aid groups that people are developing to distribute labor. These groups were one of the most popular ways that people ensured the welfare of their families and neighbors before the government created programs to make everyone depend on them for help. Years later we can see the results of this approach, as these programs are in total disarray because their purpose was never actually to help people, and those involved have no real incentive to make these programs productive because they arent even a part of the community that depends on them. This is what makes mutual aid groups different; first off these are all programs which are joined by choice and funded voluntarily, and also they allow people to directly interact with whoever they are helping and with whoever is helping them. These programs are highly efficient and realistic even in todays world. Many of the speakers at the world famous TED Talks have caught on to this trend and have began discussing these issues. In fact there is even a whole series of TED Talks that are now dealing with the informal economy. Meanwhile, mutual aid groups, also known as co-ops now employ more people worldwide than corporations. This is partly because many of the jobs at the corporations have either dried up or are too low paying, and partly because the co-ops are more practical in these difficult times. The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) estimates that the top 300 co-ops in the world account for over $1 trillion in economic activity annually, and there are now actually over 800 million people being employed by co-ops, and thats just on the record. Business and labor Co-ops dont just benefit the people who work and invest in them, but also greatly benefit the communities that they are established in by offering quality goods or services at fair prices. In addition to the competing currencies that Greece has been experimenting with during their Euro financial crisis, people have also been developing natural food co-ops which allow customers to overstep the middleman and buy directly from the suppliers. This leaves both the farmer and average person with more extra cash, and this actually even results in a higher quality of food, because with the extra money most farmers have been investing in organic crops, as opposed to GMOs. As the paradigm that we have been trapped under for generations begins to fall we will be left with two choices; to work together and create a new paradigm based on peace and voluntary interactions or to listen to the politicians who got us into this mess and follow them off into oblivion. If the events playing out before us in the informal economies of the world are any indication of the future, there is surely much hope left for humanity.

2	Actor Jon Voight Blackballed From Hollywood After Doing THIS For Trump llywood actors are all known to be liberal wackos. But one man is unafraid to stand out from the crowd. And that man is legendary actor Jon Voight. He has been a Trump supporter from the beginning and now he just gave an amazing speech at Trumps inauguration. This is some day, he said to a cheering crowd. Dear friends, fellow Americans. Im so honored to be here to welcome you all to the inauguration of the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, he said. We have all been witness to a very grueling year and a half for the president elect. We have been witnessed to a barrage of propaganda that left us all breathless with anticipation not knowing if God could reverse all the negative lies against Mr. Trump, whose only desire was to make America great again, Voight continued. He certainly didnt need this job. And yes, God answered all our prayers. Because here it is. We will be part of History, all of us. And president Lincoln who sits here with us, Im sure is smiling knowing America will be saved by an honest and good man who will work for all the people, no matter their creed or color, said Voight. 
2	Donald Trump Just Got Some Terrible News... Please Prey Accord to recent reports, Donald Trump is now leading the GOP race by an increasingly smaller margin. To make matters worse, Marco Rubio recently picked up three key endorsements from establishment Republicans. The Daily Caller reports that Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Palenty, and Rep. Cresesnt Hardy of Nevada have all gone public in their support of Rubio. Their announcements came shortly after Rubio took second place behind Trump in South Carolina. Like myself, Marco came from humble beginnings and worked very hard to get to where he is today, Tillis said in his statement. Marco lived the American dream. Im supporting Marco Rubio for president because he has an unmatched ability to inspire and uplift the American people. I think it comes down to this, Pawlenty began on CNNs New Day. Hes strong, hes also informed, hes conservative, and hes electable, and he can unite the party. You cant ask for much more than that. I think hes got the total package, and I think hes going to bring forward the strongest voice, the strongest image, and really the most thoughtful and informed strong view about how to move this country forward from a conservative perspective. Hardy also announced his support during a public rally on Sunday night. I think Marco is the right guy, Hardy commented. The right person for me. I think he is the right person for this state. And I think he is the right person for this country. What do you think of Rubio as the GOP candidate? 
2	Look Closely At This Photo Of 2 Texas Cops, Its Going Viral For One Stunning Reason [CLICK TO ENLARGE] When Officer Brittany Beard Hilton posted a photograph of herself and a fellow officer in uniform, she did not know the impact it would have. But the story behind the photograph is so touching that it has received more than 100,000 shares. All you may see in this photo is two smiling police officer, Brittany wrote, next to the photograph of her posing next to her partner. But there is more. In fact, Brittanys partner is her husband, who also works as a police officer in Texas. Together the law enforcement officers and family have four daughters to raise. Did we mention that the photograph was taken on Thanksgiving Day? Selflessly, they spent their own holiday protecting the citys residents when they could have been at home with their girls. We are husband and wife, parents to four beautiful girls, we are a son and a daughter, a Brother and sister, a grandson and granddaughter, a niece and nephew, Brittany continues. (Steven is also an army veteran.) We are friends to many. What do you think? Is this a beautiful reminder to show thanks to the men and women who sacrifice every day to ensure our safety? We cannot let our officers continue to be disrespected. 
2	Michelle Obama Responds To Calls For Impeachment The Obamas have nearly sealed their fate in the White House, as President Obama continues to break the law and defy Congress by passing executive orders. Slowly but surely, impeachment is looking more likely, even as Obama creeps towards his last year in office. Now, it looks like the Obamas are becoming more desperate to grasp on to any support they can. Recently, Michelle sent a cringe-worthy message to one of her minions. I really need you, the subject line reads. What do you think? Are the Obamas an embarrassing representation of the American people? Do they need to be kicked out of the White House as soon as possible? 
3	Rebranding Al-Qaedas Jabhat Al Nusra as ModeratesMaram Susli With no one left to arm against the Syrian state but JAN, the US State Department has attempted to rebrand JAN as a non-Al Qaeda moderate force. The next step of the plan is to allow US proxy Qatar to openly arm JAN. However, the audacious campaign has so far been an abysmal failure. Hazm Brigade Provided Plausible Deniability The latest defection and disbanding was not the first time that the US-backed Hazm brigade had handed over US-provided weapons to Al Qaeda, the last incident occurring in December of 2014. It was previously asserted that the US administration advertised the moderate Hazm brigade in order to maintain plausible deniability whilst knowing the heavy weapons they provide, such as anti-tank missiles, would eventually end up in the hands of Al Qaeda. Indeed, former-US ambassador Robert Ford recently admitted through his Twitter account to Syrian journalist Edward Dark, that the US knew the Syrian rebels they were backing were allied to Al Qaeda. With the announcement that Hazm brigade had disbanded, the State Department has lost their cover to aid al Qaeda whilst maintaining plausible deniability. Rebranding Al Qaeda NATO media has acknowledged that JAN is the most powerful group fighting the Syrian state besides ISIS. JAN also have widespread support amongst all other insurgents groups in Syria. Given the level at which the US has committed itself to an anti-ISIS narrative, they have little left to paint as a moderate force but JAN. Though, the US has launched strikes against JAN in one instance, earning the ire of all Syrian insurgent groups who protested We are all JAN. Suggestions to train a new insurgent group from scratch have been called unrealistic. Hence NATO media has been running a PR campaign for JANs new found moderation. The New York Times suggested that JAN may cut ties with Al Qaeda in the hope of receiving more military aid. Reuters reported that if the group were to lose its Al Qaeda ties that Gulf states could provide more support openly. Sources in the group have said it was considering severing its ties to al Qaeda, a move that could result in more support from Gulf Arab states hostile to both Assad and Islamic State. The word of more tentatively suggests the New York Times and Reuters acknowledge that Gulf states have already provided some support to Al Qaeda in the past. BBC analysis written by Dr. David Roberts, suggested that Qatar funding and arming JAN (Al Nusra Front) may be a good thing. In an article titled Is Qatar bringing the Nusra Front in from the cold? he writes, Secondly, the Nusra Front has pledged to concentrate its efforts on removing the Bashar al-Assad government, as opposed to attacking the far enemy (ie Western states). On this point, the Nusra Front is aligned tightly with Qatar, which also is implacably against the government and fundamentally believes that the situation in Syria will only improve if he is removed.This is why Qatar is hoping to bring the Nusra Front in from the cold. If the state can get the group to eschew its al-Qaeda affiliation and adhere to a broadly moderate Islamist platform, Qatar can officially commence, with Western blessing, the supply of one of the most effective fighting forces in Syria. The IBtimes downplayed JANs ties to Al Qaeda, stating: Though JAN is al Qaedas only branch in Syria, the group often downplays its role in al Qaeda Centrals long-term plan to establish an Islamic emirate in favour of marketing itself as a Syria-centric opposition group focused on the revolution and overthrowing Assad. Finally, In an article headlined Accepting Al Qaeda, the Council of Foreign Relations Foreign Affairs (CFR) advised that the US must keep Al Qaeda afloat to contain ISIS. Unlike other articles, the CFR doesnt bother to suggest that JAN drop their Al Qaeda affiliations, instead suggesting the US should accept them in spite of their Al Qaeda affiliations. This would be the second time the CFR would recommend the US make friends with Al Qaeda. They had previously labeled the Ahrar Al Sham insurgent group Al Qaeda worth befriending. The CFR is considered to be USs most influential foreign-policy think tank. In 2009, Hillary Clinton welcomed the fact that the CFR had set up an outpost down the street from the State Department, saying I wont have as far to go to be told what we should be doing. A Difficult Task It was always going to be a difficult task to convince the American people to support a group they have been constantly told was responsible for the death of thousands of US soldiers and civilians. They were reminded by their own government every year to never forget 9/11 and their young men were sent to die to avenge the incident, now they are being asked to forget just that. But the task of rebranding JAN has been fraught with other difficulties, the main being that Al Nusra is not co-operating with the US-Qatari plan. In an angry statement, JAN denied US media reports that they were breaking ties with Al Qaeda. The AFP wrote that JAN had rejected any plan to break away [from Al Qaeda ] and become a more internationally acceptable rebel force. But the AFP falls short of explaining how dropping a label would make JAN more internationally acceptable and no longer a terrorist organisation. When ISIS shed its al Qaeda label, it did not stop ethnically cleansing minorities or beheading Syrian soldiers. Al Qaeda is after all just label, it is practically an imaginary organisation with practically the only men on the ground being the insurgents of JAN. Al Qaeda is more of an ideological affiliation, rather than an affiliation to a real organisation The very fact that the NATO-run media suggests changing JANs label would make them moderate, illustrates that the only distinction between the Al Qaeda and those groups NATO media calls moderate, is nothing but a label. They have very little ideological differences and commit equally abhorrent war crimes. Further illustrating this is the fact that the Hazm brigade fighters found it easy to defect to JAN and ISIS and shows that the moderate fighters had little trouble embracing Al Qaedas ideology. Another difficulty is while Jabhat Al Nusra was condemned as a terrorist organisation, NATO-run media was allowed to report on their war crimes. It is difficult to run a PR campaign for a group that has claimed responsibility for many car bombings which targeted civilians. It was also widely reported that Jabhat Al Nusra kidnapped UN peace keepers and later taunted them with the heads of murdered Syrian soldiers. Just like ISIS, JAN has been busy destroying Syrias historical sites, though unlike the case with ISIS it was under-reported across NATO-run media. In 2012, it became increasingly obvious the Syrian state was fighting a sectarian and religiously motivated insurgency that was linked to Al Qaeda. It is possible that the US labeled JAN a terrorist organisation, as it needed a scapegoat on which to pin all rebel war crimes, and to set apart other insurgent groups. The policy may have backfired when JAN grew to be the main insurgent group fighting the Syrian state. During this time the US no longer needed JAN to act as the scapegoat as ISIS rose to fill in that role. Indeed it also required the US to label at least one insurgent group as a terrorists organisation, in order to pursue a long-term objective of fighting a perpetual war on terror. However, the time frame of the rise of JAN seems to be inconvenient for the United States. Such a narrative shift was likely meant to occur after the successful overthrow of the Syrian government. Creating terror to overthrow a government and then going back in to fight it, has been the template which was applied to Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. But unlike in Iraq and Libya, the Syrian government remains firmly in place. As a result the US has been forced to pursue two conflicting policies and narratives at once, fighting terror and funding terror. Apart from perpetual war, the rise of Al Qaeda-linked groups better suits other long-term US objectives. Such groups are more fundamentally opposed to Hezbollah, Iran and Russia. They are also more likely to pursue a policy of ethnic cleansing which would more easily lead to balkanisation. Finally, the advantage of a mostly Al Qaeda force is that it is cheaper to run, as they are funded mostly by Gulf states who launder money through donations to pro-Al Qaeda Wahabi mosques. The US may find it easier to convince Qatar to foot the entire bill for the insurgency, arguing that they cant do so whilst maintaining plausible deniability. It is interesting to note that some Hazm brigade members believe the US set them up to fail by not providing them enough resources. Perhaps Hazm brigade were always left in a state weaker than JAN so that JAN would be able to loot the TOW missile arsenal, but perhaps JAN killed the goose that laid the golden egg. One of the biggest hurdles in the plan to allow Qatar to openly fund JAN arises from the fact that the UN Security Council has already condemned and sanctioned both JAN and ISIS, unanimously adopting a Russian-drafted resolution. This effectively makes it illegal to fund JAN under international law. But there have already been accusations of US ally, Qatar, sponsoring JAN and Qatar has done little to deny them. The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamid II, told CNNs Christiane Amanpour that there are groups that the US considered terrorists in Syria which Qatar does not, avoiding naming JAN outright. UK Prime Minister David Cameron and Washington have gone as far as to admit that individuals in Qatar were also bankrolling ISIS, perhaps as a means of blackmailing their Qatari ally in the future. Qatar was able to openly transfer millions to JAN, under the guise of paying ransom for abducted nuns and UN peacekeepers. BBC analyst, Dr. David Roberts, does not question Qatars ties to JAN but, referred to the hostage taking as JAN helping Qatar release hostages. Whilst Qatar has provided funding to JAN in the past, openly arming JAN would allow Qatar to transfer a lot more money and perhaps heavier weaponry through the US. But without first removing JAN off the UN sanctions list it would be too difficult for the UN to ignore. Though there have been setbacks to the US-Qatar open arming plan, they may continue trying in the coming weeks. Regardless, funding for JAN and the insurgency is not going to dry up anytime soon, with or without plausible deniability.

3	TEPCO: Fukushima Clean Up May Take Up To 40 yearsBy Joseph Jankowski Tokyo Power Electric Company (TEPCO), theutility company thatruns the now damaged plant, has been avictimof harsh scrutiny over the clean-up processdue to ridiculous stunts like using adhesive tape to perform repairs and the flow of reports detailing the dumping of radioactive waste water into the ocean. According to TEPCO official, Akira Ono, the decommission process has been painfully slow but is moving forward. If I may put this in terms of mountain climbing, weve just passed the first station on a mountain of 10 stations, said Akira Ono, who heads the Fukushima plant. The biggest obstacle to closing down the plant permanently is removing all the melted nuclear fuel debris from three reactors, Ono told reporters after a press tour of the plant this week. Ono believesthat the possible 40-year-long decommission processis rolling ahead with many obstacles still in the way. TEPCO is still unsure about the state of the debris inside the reactor. The company is also still battling the build up of300 to 400 tons of contaminated water that fills the plant on a daily basis. TEPCO pumps the contaminated water into storage tanks, adding a fresh tank every three or four days. Currently there are 1,000 tankscontaining 750,000 tons of radioactive water. TEPCO claims that the containmentof radioactive water has progressed as equipmentrequired to create an ice wall around the stricken nuclear power plant is finally in place. Over the years leaks have been reported from the radioactive water containers while efforts to filter the water have taken place. In May of last year TEPCO claimed that 620,000 tons of radioactive water it stored in Fukushima plant no. 1 had been treated to lower its radiation levels. The latest move to aid in the decommission process comes from Toshiba who in January unveiled a remote-control robot thats expected to remove fuel-rod assemblies from the spent fuel pool in the plants reactor 3 building. The robotfeatures arms that can be used to manipulate and dismantle debris, and to retrieve rods from the reactor cooling pool. The work involving Toshibas robot, which is expected to begin next year, is a big endeavor, with 566 fuel-rod assemblies that need to be removed from just this one reactor, reports Science Alert.

Theyve not even been able to get a robot close to the reactor chamber due to the high radioactivity. The nuclear pile has left the reactors and cannot be located! Meantime tens of thousands of gallons of highly radioactive elements are dumped into the Pacific Ocean daily. Is it any coincidence that dead marine life in unprecedented numbers continue to wash up on shores of Western N. America?

2	Free Ride Comes To A Screeching Halt For 6,000 Welfare Leeches According to reports, Maine has just given notice to approximately 6,000 welfare recipients that any able-bodied person, between 18 and 50 must work, volunteer, or enroll in an employment training program for 20 hours a week in order to receive benefits. We must continue to do all that we can to eliminate generational poverty and get people back to work, said Governor Paul LePage. We must protect our limited resources for those who are truly in need and who are doing all they can to be self-sufficient. The law was suspended in 2008 due to to high employment rate and difficult job market conditions. Now, the change is upsetting some recipients. I was just so upset after I got the phone call, claims Melania, a Maine resident receiving benefits. It was a cushion especially for me because I have dietary restrictions; I have a lot of them, and the food is very expensive. Melania has been collecting $224 a month for free. According to administrators, programs are intended to be a short-term solution for those able to work, not a means of living. The action is believed to be a step in the right direction in limiting abuse of the system. What do you think of the new requirements? 
2	Santa Ana Homeowner Had To Pull The Trigger On Gang Members Threatening Family Erickson Dumaual, a Santa Ana homeowner, claimed that he had to pull the trigger when two armed intruders entered his house. It was 4 a.m. when Dumaual woke up to the sound of breaking glass. They entered his room and demanded cash as well as other valuable items. The guy had a gun right at my head, said Dumaual. Dumaual sprang into action and fought the intruder for control of the gun. It was tough because he tried to pin me. Its a battle, 50-50, whos going to die here? All I want to do is make sure this guy doesnt hurt me, my family or anybody else, said Dumaual One intruder fled the scene, while the other took another shot at Dumaual. I tried to tell him to, stop, stop, stop, and he comes at me I had to pull the trigger. I didnt want to kill him, Dumaual said. Police identified the body of this man as 19 year-old Bryan Bravo, a known gang member. Police are still looking for the other intruder. Do you think Dumaual handled this situation well? 
3	Is The CIA Manipulating the Weather?By Derrick Broze In late June, John Brennan, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, spoke at a Council on Foreign Relations meeting about threats to global security. Director Brennan mentioned a number of threats to stability before discussing the science of geoengineering. Brennan said the technologies potentially could help reverse the warming effects of global climate change. (Brennan mentions geoengineering at 12:05) According to a 2013 congressional report: The term geoengineering describes this array of technologies that aim, through large-scale and deliberate modifications of the Earths energy balance, to reduce temperatures and counteract anthropogenic climate change. Most of these technologies are at the conceptual and research stages, and their effectiveness at reducing global temperatures has yet to be proven. Moreover, very few studies have been published that document the cost, environmental effects, socio-political impacts, and legal implications of geoengineering. If geoengineering technologies were to be deployed, they are expected to have the potential to cause significant transboundary effects. Aerosol injection and space-based reflectors are examples of SRM methods. SRM methods do not remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, but can be deployed faster with relatively immediate global cooling results compared to CDR methods. Director Brennan specifically mentions a type of SRM known asstratospheric aerosol injection, or SAI. As Brennan notes, SAI is a method of seeding the stratosphere with particles that can help reflect the suns heat, in much the same way that volcanic eruptions do. Brennan goes on to claim that an SAI geoengineering program could limit global temperature increases, a claim that has been disputed in several studies. For example, selfnews Post recently reported on anew analysisreleased by the Finnish Meteorological Institute.The FMI is the government agency responsible for reporting weather data and forecasts in Finland. The Institutes study, Modelling radiative and climate effects of aerosols: from Anthropogenic emissions to geoengineering, examined the potential for SRM to combat climate change. The study specifically looked at two types of SRM. The first involved marine aerosol concentrations use to increase clouds, while the second looked at increasing the amount of sulphur concentrated in the stratosphere. The researchers stated that their key objectives were to investigate the potential of aerosols to cool the climate at the global scale, and identify the possible limits in the effectiveness of the Solar Radiation Management techniques as well as the risks related to these techniques. The researchers found that the geoengineering techniques which were studied do in fact have the potential to cool the climate and slow down warming. However, the cooling effect has limitations, the team writes.The cooling effect attributable to aerosols would be rather small due to the geographical change in tropospheric aerosol emissions or change in energy production studied here when compared to the warming due to the increased greenhouse gas emissions, the paper states. In other words, the effort, money, and time it would take to invest and create geoengineering methods would likely do very little to actually limit the amount of greenhouse gas emissions.The researchers even state that, based on their models, if the world replaced coal with nuclear power for energy production it would lead to a temporal cooling effect, but after several years the warming effect from simultaneously increased GHG emission would exceed the cooling effect. Also, the cooling that does result from an increase in aerosols is often achieved at the cost of air quality which could lead to an increase in premature mortality. In February 2015, an international committee of scientists released a report stating that geoengineering techniques are not a viable alternative to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat the effects of climate change. The committee report called for further research and understanding of various geoengineering techniques, including carbon dioxide removal schemes and solar-radiation management before implementation. The scientists found that SRM techniques are likely to present serious known and possible unknown environmental, social, and political risks, including the possibility of being deployed unilaterally. The report was sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. intelligence community, NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the U.S. Department of Energy. According to a 2013 study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, if geoengineering programs were started and then suddenly halted, the planet could see an immediate rise in temperatures, particularly over land. The study, titled, The Impact of Abrupt Suspension of Solar Radiation Management, seems to indicate that once geoengineering begins, the programs cannot be suspended without causing the very problem the engineering was intended to solve. The idea that aerosols could be sprayed from planes is eerily reminiscent of various conspiracies involving the government using weather control technology to manipulate world events. This is what is derogatorily called the Chemtrails Conspiracy. Essentially, some believe geoengineering is actively taking place in our skies, and the contrails are actually geoengineering programs covertly being carried out. The chemtrails label comes from the portion of the crowd that believes these programs are delivering dangerous chemical additives to the food, water, soil, and humans below for nefarious purposes. Despite the knee-jerk dismissal from many casual researchers, the theories might be grounded in reality.In February 2015, while speaking at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Jose, California,Professor Alan Robock discussed the possibility that the CIA is using the weather as a weapon of war.Robock has done research for the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC)in the past. Robock stated he was phoned by two men claiming to be from the CIA, asking whether or not it was possible for hostile governments to use geoengineering againstthe United States. Professor Robocks fears of the government using the weather as a weapon are not completely unfounded. In a1996 document entitled Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather by 2025 the U.S. Air Force discusses a number of proposals for using the weather as a weapon. TheEnvironmental Modification Treatywas signed by the United States and other nations to halt global weather modification. But the government did not simply research these ideas, they actually implemented them. During the Vietnam War the US government operated covert weather modification programs under Operation Popeye. The government does not only experiment withtechnology in foreign countries, they like to try it at home as well.In 2012 it was revealed thatthe US Army sprayed toxic chemicals over the skies of St. Louis without informing the public. Whether or not Professor Robocks theory is correct remains to be seen; but for now, Director Brennans speech makes it perfectly clear that Americas favorite spy agency is interested in manipulating the weather on a global scale. Whether its happening already or will be in the near future, the thought of the CIA (or any agency of government) using the weather as a weapon of war should make it clear that the U.S. government is not operating with reason or concern for the people.

What really worries me is that given were essentially electrical beings and given all the metals which have been incorporated into our bodies from years of spraying and given all the cell towers theyve deployed to develop the soup of wifry were swimming in.., one day some very mad men could cause the introduction of a pulse or series of signals into this soup which could vibrate these metals in our bodies and cause a lot if not all metalicized people in the target area(s) to become very ill or very dead or very violent or maybe just very docile and politically correct. I do not know if the rest of the world went to sleep, there is a HAARP ANTENNA in ALASKA that is a weather controller and weapon, they have built another 17 of them around the world, they were and still are controlled by DAVID ROCKERFELLER, they used this weapon three years ago in LEYTE in the PHILLIPPINES, and caused a tornado that killed thousands of people, so that the US MILITARY could have the airport at the end of the island, and over 116 years the US has killed millions of people in the PHILLIPPINES, and none of these antennas are lying idle, I dont care if they call me crazy, the WEATHER is being controlled big time very much in the UK and many other places around EUROPE. its being controlled all over the world hense the extreme weather conditions of drought, flooding etc. It traps in the heat and therefore cause problems. The fallout of these chemicals is destroying the air,soil etc and human health..epidemic disease.gee I wonder why??????? We are being totally lied to at every level of our life. Destroy globalism and take back our planet and all will be well until they rise up again..and we have to stop that. Youre not crazy. The US Air Force is on record saying they will own the weather by 2025 google it So they need to spend how much to reverse the effect that they are creating in the first place? The powers behind this are lame in having to create these ideas and plans to generate their billions of $$. If they just put these $$ into education, better infrastructure across the planet and just plain stop this meddling with the environment amongst other things, people would be happier, healthier and more productive, giving these imbeciles their billions anyways brennen is a muslime You mean zioslime! derogatorily called the Chemtrails Conspiracy.- empirical evidence is the truth that theory must mimic. Condensation trails do not turn a blue sky a sickly looking gray/white, the chemtrails do , on a routine basis. Contrails are water vapor that turns to ice, and is gone in a few moments. No mention of the poisons that are used like aluminum,barium,and strontium. If people would take their noses out of their phone screens for awhile,they might see this. Check out geoengineeringwatch dot org for good info the the deliberate poisoning going on. Water vapor is by far the WORST of the greenhouse gasesmethane and nitrogen are next and CO2 might be 4th or 5th. Persistent contrails supposing these idiots are right are obviously water vapor. Helllllooooo? Even naysaying scientists (the ones that need federal grants of course) will admit those trails are made of water vaporWHICH IS FAR WORSE THAN ANY CO2. This anthropogenic CO2 problem is the biggest scam known to man!! Would someone else please go on STACK EXCHANGE; EARTH SCIENCE and ask intelligent non-inflammatory questions about chemtrails? Dont use the word chemtrailto be able to get your foot in the door say Geoengineering, persistent contrails, weather control, weather control patentsexpect to be put down in a big way!! That would be a nice forum to turn to educate in a positive vein for us the peonsthat site gets used an awful lot!! I really dont think TPTB care about us at all to include deliberate poisoning. Too much work and risk exposure? Wake EVERYONE? As a side benefit, sure. TPTB want to control the weather to include HAARP and its subsidiaries AND all chemtrails. TPTB dont want to raise any bile against THEM so they are happy to kill us off slowly, yet they dont want to ruin their OWN WORLD THEIR OWN GARDEN. and they certainly need us to do the labor and keep the machine turning, running and us in our own little fantasies of WONDERFUL AMERICA the beautifulif we work hard and long enough well be rich, we will be honored! What more could a slave that has to care for ITSELF want? Truly we are slavesalways have been. High altitude crop dusting, who can argue with that? CHEMTRAILS + WEAPONIZED CELL TOWERS = DROPPED POPULATION CAPISCE? I dont know about the CIA but the US Air Force is on record saying that they will own the weather by 2025 its no secret but they still demonize anyone who tries to bring this BS to light. NoThats handled by the Airforce and Navy 
3	Bombshell: UK Accused Of Plotting Syria War Back In 2009By Sophie McAdam In the interview, first televised in 2013, Dumas states that during a visit to England(two years before the hostilities began in Syria), he was asked whether he would be willing to participate in a plot to overthrow President Bashar Assad, who (along with many other Arabic leaders) was considered an enemy of Israel. I met with English officials, and some of them- who are my friends- admitted to me, by asking my opinion, that they are preparing something in Syria, Dumas tells the anchors, who look increasingly uncomfortable as his story progresses.England was preparing the invasion of the rebels, Dumas goes on. This operation was prepared, conceived and organized for the simple purpose of removing the Syrian government. Its important to know that this Syrian regime isanti-Israeli. Dumasthen explains his experience ofIsraeli foreign policy: He claims he was once told by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: We will try to get along with neighboring states, and those who we dont get along with, we will take them down. In a nutshell, Dumas claims it was President Assadsanti-Israel stance that made Syria a target for Western-backed regime change. The crucial thing to note is that the so-called Arab Spring, which happened in 2011 andseemed at the time to be a wonderful example of people power, was potentially (with hindsight) orchestrated by the West: after all, we now know the CIA created a Cuban Twitter in 2010 to bring down Castros government from the inside out. We also know that the USA has a very long history of overthrowing governments that dont do as they are told. Therefore, Dumass claims that the UK, presumably along with the Pentagon, planned the Syrian invasion in 2009 could point to a similar manipulation of reality. This happened two years before the Arab Spring sparked protests against Assads government, which served as the green light for the West to go in and oust Syrias leader, just as they did in Egypt and Tunisia. Perhaps the most disturbing thing about this interview is the way that the two journalists interviewing Dumas are absolutely unwilling to accept his claims, despite the fact he has absolutely no reason to invent such a story. They roll their eyes, they question his testimony; in short, they dont do their job properly. But this revelation is by no means the only clue that what is happening now in Syria is far more complex than we are led to believe by the mainstream media. In recent weeks, True selfnews has reported that: Every single oneof the stories above come from reputable sources such as news agencies, NGOs, and government whistleblowers,but you wont find any of this in the mainstream media. On top of all this, weve recently featured many testimonies from drone pilots, a former marine, and several investigative journalists who have been trying to educate the public about the truth: its actually Western countries who arescrewing the whole world up. We are lied to on a daily basis: if youre wondering why the Islamic State hasnt attacked Israel or any of our other Middle Eastern allies, youre on the right track to understanding whats really going on. Its time to wake up! Please share this video, comment below, and check out some of the links provided above to find out more.

You have permission to republish this article under a Creative Commons license with attribution to the author and Trueselfnews.com Jan 29, 2007 Hollywood director and documentary film maker Aaron Russo has gone in-depth on the astounding admissions of Nick Rockefeller, who , predicted an event that would trigger the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan eleven months before 9/11. Planned since 2000 is closer to the truth. Russo had their number, all the way to the 1984-esque technotronic era tracking and surveillance end game. We lost a great one when he passed. At the time of 9-11-2001, a plan was already in the Pentagon to destroy 7 Arab countries in 5 years. Iraq was the first on the list. The plan was discovered on 20 Sep 2001 by former NATO general Wesley Clark. For a very revealing video by Mr. Clark, search the internet on the phrase, 7 countries in 5 years. Problem is Clark is a globalist minion, reportedly very close to the Clinton inner circle. If Clark admits to something like that, in the form of limited hangout, its a good sign the message is part of a psy op, a classic tactic to obfuscate narratives that are to emerge later. It was Clark who recently suggested Americans who dont support the war on terror (thought criminals) should be placed in internment camps. Historically Britain has always been a close to Syria and Assad. Assads wife is of British blood. Are you kidding me! Allow countries their independence.thats not how democracies work!! The Syria situation has to be the most complicated one weve ever encountered, there are a lot of layers of elite connections that are not being written about even in the alt media. A doctoral dissertation I found online last month, Syrias New Liberal Elite by Amanda Terc, details how by 2005 Syrias elite and upper middle class were rapidly integrating themselves into the western dominated neoliberal globalization paradigm, financially, socially, and in academia. Also, by 2002 Syria was adopting Agenda 21, and 2030 Agenda renewable energy policies and infrastructure build outs bankrolled largely by Cham Holding, the CEO of which is Rami Makhlouf, Assads cousin, a billionaire and Syrias wealthiest person who controls 60% of Syria economy through his networks. Makhlouf reportedly spends much of his time at his estate in Dubai, also moving onto the UN transformation plan already labeled a Smart City. It looks a lot like Syrias elites are closely tied in every way to the western elite paradigm. Jesus come soon.because nobody else can stop it Or you can just waste your time by talking to a brick wall. Belief in fairytales is the reason why the world is the way it is now. We need to ban ALL religions, it fits in perfectly with the greater Israel plan most people have never heard of that! look it up and youll find out ALL THE WHYS of the trouble in the middle east! Its been said that British intelligence was involved with wahhabism about 300 years ago. With all the lies being fed around the world, who knows if its true. I know its true that Im fed up with lying and manipulating governments. Do I look surprised? The Globalists agenda (now Agenda 2030 the new and improved Agenda 21) must continue inexorably to invade one country after another in order to stop war once and for all. Now that makes sense, dont it? There are several ultra rich elite who rule the world living in Britain. So, plotting war about which they make billions is no surprise to anyone. The ruling elite are war mongers at our childrens expense.and to our grief.

He has the group of friends Im inmostly people he knows from work or collegebut then he has this whole other set of just Asian friends weve never hung out with for some reason, said coworker Bruce Hollis, 26, noting that Cho is frequently seen in Facebook photos having dinner or drinks with four or five Asian people their age whom Hollis never sees in person. Sometimes when we invite him out he already has plans with his Asian friends, and well suggest he bring them along. Hell say, Yeah, maybe we can meet up later, but somehow it never happens. Hollis added that the one time he bumped into Cho with his Asian friends they were all speaking English, so he really doesnt see what the big deal is. 
3	NDAA 2017 Includes Draft for Women, Indefinite Detention of American CitizensBy Derrick Broze On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate approved a $602 billion annual defense budget that President Obama has promised to veto because the bill does not allow for the closing of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Senate Bill 2943, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, passed with a vote of 85 Senators in favor and 13 against. Before the vote, Senator John McCain tweeted that Its never been more urgent to give our troops the resources they need to succeed. The majority of Congress have no issue taking money from the American people and redistributing it to fund their empire. The conflict arises when lawmakers begin debating whose pet projects are going to get a boost. The major conflicts in passing the bill stemmed from various amendments dealing with how the military budget will be spent. One issue the entire Congress seemed to agree on was voting against closing military bases around the world. While the Pentagon called for budget cuts stating that the military has more space than they need, Congress refused to go along with the cuts. Besides, several lawmakers have argued that the Pentagon has cooked the books to justify its conclusions or at least didnt do the math completely, the Associated Press reports. The Senate also voted against an amendment to close the infamous military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Another contentious area of debate was the mandate to force women who turn 18 on or after Jan. 1, 2018 to register for Selective Service. Males are already required register within 30 days of their 18th birthday. The United States has maintained a volunteer military force since 1973, but through Selective Service the military could reinstate a draft and call upon registered males and females. Those who do not register could face up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, although the penalty has rarely been enforced. The most horrendous part of the NDAA 2017 is that that the annual military budget continues to include a provision which allows for indefinite detention of American citizens without a right to trial. Many of you may remember that President Obama had no problem signing the NDAA 2012 in 2011, which legalized the indefinite detention of American citizens suspected of ties to terrorism. The indefinite detention provision is still contained in the NDAA, and has been approved by Congress and signed by President Obama every year since it first passed. On Thursday June 9, Senators Mike Lee of Utah, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Dianne Feinstein of California spoke on the floor of the Senate in support of an amendment bill which would have removed the indefinite detention clause from NDAA 2017 and offered protections to American citizens weary of a federal government with too much power. The Due Process Guarantee Amendment to the NDAA for Fiscal Year 2017 would have clarified that an authorization to use military force, a declaration of war, or any similar authority shall not authorize the detention without charge or trial of a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States. This amendment addresses a little known problem that I believe most Americans would be shocked to discover even exists, Senator Mike Lee said from the floor of the U.S. Senate. Under current law, the federal government has proclaimed the power, has arrogated to itself the power to obtain indefinitely without charge or trial U.S. Citizens and lawful permanent residents who are apprehended on American soil. Let that sink in for just a minute. Senator Lee also reminded the Congress that the last time the U.S. federal government detained Americans was the internment of Japanese Americans during the Second World War. Senator Rand Paul noted that President Obama recognized the danger of granting the federal government the power to indefinitely detain Americans. Upon signing the bill in 2011 President Obama added a signing statement promising not to use the power. He said, this is a terrible power and I promise never to use it. Any president who says a power is so terrible hes not going to use it should not be on the books, Paul stated. Someday there will be someone in charge of the government that makes a grievous mistake, like rounding up the Japanese. So we have to be very, very careful about giving power to our government. Senator Feinstein, Paul, and Lee attempted to pass an earlier version of this amendment in the 2012 before the amendment was taken out of the NDAA. The dangerous language within the NDAA comes from Sections 1021 and 1022, which include language that allows the government to detain anyone so charged without trial until the end of the hostilities. Thankfully, localities and states like Virginia are fighting back against the NDAAs indefinite detention clause. Unfortunately, the federal government will continue to have the ability to indefinitely detain American citizens. This is especially worrisome going into 2017 when a new president, one who hasnt promised not to detain you, will be claiming the Oval Office. What will he or she do with the power to indefinitely detain Americans? Only time will tell.

Wow just like that, women must register for the draft. No discussion or national debate. The Montana senator who introduced this as a bill said he intended to get a discussion going. Obviously this was a lie. This will have huge ramifications for society, and absolutely zero media coverage or concern, especially from the millions of women whose lives will be affected. Its a travesty that something this huge wasnt covered on selfnews Post at all, and barely mentioned in this article. I knew this bill was introduced, I had no idea it would be buried in NDAA 2017 wow. The US satanists are preparing the WW III right under our noses they want us all dead ! Colorados free masons have already prepared on the Denver Airport the story that is hidden under the capston for after-WW III world! Is there anybody in the US who would dare to open the capstone and let us see what is the plan ? Its the vilejews who have done this Ignoramous..! THIS is what happens when representatives NO longer recognize WE the PEOPLE You American people, you have allowed your own satanic elite to attack. rob, kill all around the world. The very same satanic force is now against you! You could say the same to the Germans in the 1920s. It is a covert war and deep pockets are funding it. Who? First act of an invading army is taking over communication and information. It is what it is. Not me.I voted for Ron Paul in 2012 and Rand Paull this year That just shows how stupid you are. You think voting is real, or can effect change, lol. what a moron you are. It takes fire and blood to arrest the evil that has corrupted the only hope the world hasour nation. If voting could ever change anything theyd make it illegal. What words were on the plaque on Harry S Truman desk while he was in the Oval?! Your post made no sense. Are you asking a question, posting a rhetorical question, making a statement, a melange of all of the above? If you really want to know, the plaque was The Buck Stops Here. We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately. Ben Franklin just before he signed the Declaration of Independence. Or you could have just Binged it. Mr. Broze is to be commended for alerting us to this very impactful, yet conveniently underreported event. Too bad Mr. Broze only reports on the NDAA after its voted on and not before. He did the same last year when the senate voted on the bill while everyone was focused on the shootings in Charleston. Im sure its all just a coincidence. I havent seen any other reports on it at all. I have reported on the NDAA for years. So is your name Derek or Derrick? One expects a journalist to at least know how to spell their own name. The point of my comment is that activism requires readers learn about this type of legislation before it is passed so calls can be made to senators and other types of activism can take place. Reading about shackles after theyve been placed on your wrist is pretty pointless. Im sorry Derek/Derrick but Im extremely upset about women having to register for the draft without any type of discussion beforehand. This is a nightmare for any women wanting to raise a family. Everyone whose job it is to know about it being included in the NDAA was silent and I am spitting hollow points. We all need to start learning to say NO!!!! Honestly, they wouldnt know what to do if we ALL did that Hi Brett! I wish people would say NO!!! to voting for psychopaths for a start (since not voting is still legal) but you can see that aint happening. You are on the right path and direction. People Power, forgotten? Yes people have forgotten their power in every way. We are so much bigger and better than we realise. In fact, WE are the power! Its not something the elite want any of us to know; thats why the education system is run by devils. They are preparing our children for slavery. NOT ON MY WATCH! It sounds like youre blaming Derek for the timing of Charleston and Orlando. Really what youve done is connect the dots. They both strike me as fake events. I just found out they both happened during the passage of the heinous defense Acts. Those NDAAs are monumental. Historic. And, like the civil trial that found several US Gov agenies responsible for the conspiracy to assassinate MLK, the mainstream media is ignoring it. selfnewss dont wait to be spoon-fed, and consumer dont act regardless of their knowledge youre setting the bar pretty high here for selfnewsPost, dont you think? Youre asking them to do the impossible. Its true the mind spins these days. Collate as best you can. Tell the story. Youve obviously got the knack. There is only one story and lies tend to show themselves, since the very best of them is still only a studio-lit stage set. Take one step back and the mind has to fight itself to continue believing the lie. People achieve this feat because they are driven by fear of ridicule. No matter how obvious the stage pieces are, belief in the story is enforced. Anyway, youve made an interesting connection here. Both Charleston and Pulse deserve much closer inspection. And, also attacking people just bugs people and makes you look bad. If you know that selfnewsPost and this author have blatantly ignored the current NDAA until now, thats one thing. But such a strong accusation should be supported. Keep on keepin on. Im not blaming Derek/Derrick. Did you note that he seems to have two different spellings of his name? Regardless of this oddity, Im not setting the bar high by asking journalists to do their jobs. This is why we are here reading alternative news because the real journalists dont do theirs, and in fact this is precisely why we are in this situation now, because a functioning press protects us and a non-functioning one leads us to slaughter. I cannot think of a better example to show this fact than the failure to inform people about the hidden clauses in the NDAA that monumentally affect us all. Was the date for the vote on the NDAA secret?!? Does selfnewsPost not accept submissions? Its true, based on my quick check last night, that the site had but naught to say about the 2017 NDAA until now. Are they in collusion? The female draft has been on-topic actually in the mainstream press. Have you noticed? Not the NDAA, of course, but loud, unchallenged support for the notion of the female dreft. Its called cultural Marxism, and its supported by the most powerful players on Earth. I do agree that selfnewsPost could strengthen their content across the board. But then, I dont run a news website. I used to bust their chops over their obnoxious advertising and theyve toned it down! But they still have to keep the ball rolling, month after month, during all the periods you and I are doing other things. So, selfnewsPost could benefit from more user input. With all that being said, the female draft is so progressive it would actually be hard to argue against these days. I cant imagine the protest movement gaining any traction. I am not asserting collusion in any form, Im asserting laziness or perhaps just not paying attention. The original bill was proffered from Montana senator Zinke and called Draft Americas Daughters Act. He is a former military honcho of some sort, a SEAL, etc. He said he introduced the bill to start a discussion. At the time I wrote to him (I live in Montana) and said, What is to prevent your bill from being hidden in other legislation before this discussion take place? Prescient to a fault, I guess. I was following this carefully and did not know it was in the NDAA. I do not read mainstream press in any form, so I have not witnessed this discussion but youre right, it is cultural Marxism for sure. I know its supported for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is effectively doubling the available recruits because the draft will be coming again soon, no doubt. Of course everyone will say, Women wanted equal rights, now they have them. Meanwhile the eugenicists just added another glorious check mark to their agenda. Its plain to see whats happening. I cant imagine wanting to start a family knowing any day I could be drafted away from them. The whole concept is completely evil, which is why they kept it hidden. Androgyny is part of progressivism. The only stick-in-the-road is children. And we all know what a problem they are, right? The government will take care of them by force, anyway why resist? Atrazine in the water and multitudinous other endocrine-disruptors in the environment and the flip-sex people born as a result are used as a progressive political tool. They are abandoned by their society the same society thats convinced its doing them a great favor by tolerating them. The fact of transgenderism is an issue, sure, but its blown up and distorted by the manipulators to further their goals. The transgenders of today regarded as victims of culture, and those of the future as inevitable and natural not as the chemically-altered victims they are. Not to get too far off-track Good point, by the way, though it doesnt seem the website even mentioned said Return-to-the-Dark-Ages-Act all year long. Its true selfnewsPost could have done better on this point. And, truly, crowdsourcing is the strength of the alternative press. Dont wait. Activate. Good points too, AL. Thanks. I am watching the transgenderism thing from afar because I know its all contrived, although having said that (and being an old stick-in-the-road female) it was a bit unsettling walking into a public restroom yesterday and seeing some kind of gender using a urinal. Social upheaval has many forms and affects everyone, the children bear the brunt of most of it. The only reason I spoke up about APs lack of effort was because someone way up there named Al Kene made mention of what a great job Mr. Broze did. Otherwise I would have kept silent. Still waiting for someone to explain why Mr. Broze cant spell his first name. Regarding drafting women into the military for combat is a form of depopulation. Not in the history of man have women been sent into battle. Ancient civilized nations such as Egypt, Greece and Rome, and most barbarian ones never drafted women into battle, since they regarded women as the progenitors/nurturers of the next generation and would never risk eventual extinction by drafting women into battle. This exclusion of women on the battlefield went on, even to the modern age. Only a depraved, decaying society would commit national suicide by drafting women into combat. I hope youre right Eileen. Unfortunately it appears that the large majority of the members of the House are also cowards. I dont think people realize how much the elected members of our government are watched, bribed, comprised, threatened, bought off and scared out of their wits. The entire culture of Washington is based on paranoia and abject fear that they project out onto the rest of the country. Result of this? Follow the moneys again there is only one which is profiting of this NDAA Act or Bill and that is the Military Industrial Complex. Yes, the empire strikes back! You sound to me like you might ought to be widening your radar to include other sources of information. I signed several petitions going back weeks at least with regard to the NDAA. There is also the congressional schedule. These annual bills tend to have expiration dates on them? Get my drift? Yes, I get your drift completely. I have a very wide radar given the amount of spare time I have, but perhaps my time could be better spent finding better sources. I do not normally sign petitions in any form though because they are only used to determine what the people want so it is can be kept from them. Regardless, I do appreciate your advice and I will take it. I understand your cynicism, but I can assure you that I wouldnt be wasting my time if I never saw a petition succeed. And the truth is that over the years I have seen many of them do so. Chairman Wheeler over at the FCC didnt write the rules on Net Neutrality, for instance, out of the goodness of his corporate-lobbied heart. It took public pressure, including petitions. The only thing you can ever be certain of is that not to try ensures you will fail. Endeavor to persevere! Hahaha.. Chief Dan George in The Outlaw Josie Wales. Great motto, Ive used it often. Thanks for the tip on petitions. I can be cynical at times, but that doesnt mean I dont engage in other methods. I used to work for a bunch of judges and got to know a lot of politicians personally. I just call or write to them directly, sometimes they even call me back. State and local things where I live, not national. DC is a lost cause, you cant reason with psychopaths. Yeah, whatever else you can say about poor Clint being a little too far on the right, he still makes a powerful film. And often with a powerful lesson to be learned. Josie Wales is one of my favorites. I liked Unforgiven too. And Gran Torino. He outta make Trump watch that one As a kid of course I loved his gunslinger films. Dirty Harry was about where he lost me for a decade or so. And yes, I can see how being so close to the inside can make you cynical. If democracy flowed freely, we wouldnt need to have the right to petition would we? I fell in love with Clint Eastwood when he was starring in Rawhide do you think that dates me? LOL I didnt like his Dirty Harry period either, but everything else hes done has been great. Ive always liked him, right/left or whatever I have made it a priority to stop labeling people in terms like left/right because this duality game that has been foisted on humanity keeps us divided into many factions. Its a fools game and were all fools when we engage in it. Wow. I forgot about Rawhide. I was pretty young, but I was watching that as the episodes came out. Bat Masterson, The Rifleman, Cheyenne, Bonanza, The Lone Ranger of course. Sugarfoot, Bronco, Maverick. One of my favorites was Have Gun Will Travel. Man youre giving me flashbacks. You even made me Google for some of these. I remember when bonanza went to color. One of the first. I couldnt agree more with you that we would probably all be much better off without the political parties. It might finally make the sheeple sit up and pay attention to the candidates character, rather than whose side is better. As in the game, the horse race, the match-up. I wont miss any of it. Thats very funny, about the flashbacks I mean. When I met my husband (25 years ago) we used to sing all the old sitcom songs. We were both born in the same year and raised on a steady diet of TV, and all those silly songs are lodged in our heads. About five years ago I woke up to how much they used our generation as a giant social experiment and I was a guinea pig. I turned the idiot box off and have never watched it since. The withdrawal symptoms were so devious (being completely isolated from what passes today for normal society, for one) I knew Id done the right thing. I realize now how much BETTER my life is. But if you need the lyrics to Mr. Ed, Laverne and Shirley, or Green Acres, just look me up, theyre all recorded verbatim in my matrix brain. Is it possible to follow the congressional Agenda. Every House has a visible Agenda for the day, havent they. Must be possible to consult every moment of the day by the people. So one knows what Bills will be processed of discussed or voted on. Read it before passing it? Novel concept. Someone should get the memo to Pelosi and the rest of henchmen. Before it is voted on or After it is voted on? several opportunities missed to use that law the vilejew attacked us on 9/11 not muslims BS! The only vile I see here is you georgie. You must be a closet muzzie. To stereotypically attack any group is to generally attack all groups. Shame on you. The selfnews Post needs to move from alerting us to the issues to proposing real, meaningful and effective solutions. Most readers understand the problems and realize its no longer about reforming Congress, POTUS or the Supremes. They sold us out years ago. Its now about what were going to do to restore the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Rule of Law before this turns into a violent, bloody revolution that most of us would like to avoid. gift the gold collar scum elite are the worlds problems. well history has shown that its always a rich mans war but a poor mans fight I vote to send Hillary Clinton behind enemy lines and leave her there.!!! But that would expose her to sniper fire! Bwa-ha-ha-ha! Oh..thats right! We wouldt want that WITCH (with a capital B) going through THAT..again now, would we.???!! We almost lost her with ALL that sniper fire.TOO bad we didnt!!!! For sure! Here, Here!! The Donald has all ut said on the campaign trail that he will use that authority against all Americans of the Islamic faith and those of Hispanic heritage. I expect that to happen immediately after January 20th, 2017, if he wins the presidency. Not to worry! IF by some chance he can beat Hillary in the general election, the RHINOs that are running scared sh**less, will NEVER allow him to see Jan 20th. It will be made to look like a medical event, or an accident. After all I have seen my government do in my 64+ years of life (and 30+ working for them in law enforcement,) Ill bet my last retirement check on it. They cant afford to let him become President. He will upset their apple cartand they know it. No one wants to lose their gravy train. Wow, a person who still believes voters actually elect presidents. Amazing. Good to hear from you again. Hope you hubby are well. Not a hard concept to grasp why we have false flags except for one thing.all these on the watch list are now subject to INDEFINITE DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL so it makes me wonder why they didnt use it on the Orlando shooter, San Bernadino shooter, Nidal Hassan, Tsarnaev brothers? That their only justification in passing that??? Without DUE PROCESS too. Because they are using the NDAA security provisions to discover potential terrorists who they can groom as patsies. Then they incite them, arm them, and send them off to kill us. We are not dying fast enough, we have refused to roll over like the coward Australians and hand over our guns, and they are getting desperate, so they pass ridiculous bills like this without letting the public know. DC is filled with paranoid delusionals who can no longer reason because they themselves are being blackmailed by the very provisions they enacted and they are scared silly and yet people keep voting for them like idiots. Millions and millions of guns are the only thing keeping us safe, which is why the CIA patsy killers only go for gun-free zones. Amerika is going down in slo-mo, just like all the disaster movies they have been programming us with for decades. must be the input of erroneous on the list they do not want uncovered the answer to this is to get together and create your own peoples free army, and face off En masse the corrupt authorities, yes you really have to show them as a people that you are not going to take it any more, So Ill see you there, right, Arlene? Ah yes, a peoples free army, against the most powerful military force on the planet, all paid for by the free peoples army taxes. So I guess this is what is meant by Freedom isnt free. Remember the American Revolution? I bet you wouldnt have believed that the Colonists would defeat the greatest Army on the planet, that of the British Empire, either; but, they did. The Vietnamese defeated the most powerful force on the planet in 1975; so, why wouldnt a highly motivated Peoples Free Army be able to do what the 18th Century Colonists and the 1975 Vietnamese had done; that is, defeat the most powerful force on the planet? Im old, but Im not that old, and given that everything we have been taught about history has been lies, I dont really know what happened during the American Revolution and either do you. One version states that we signed an undisclosed treaty with Britain allowing them to continue to rule us via banking, and it seems that is playing out exactly today. We have three independent states controlling the world: London/banking, DC/military and the Vatican/religion. And of course this free peoples army will consist of women too, right? Are you locked and loaded? So we pick our leader that wont sign our rights away! How about we lead ourselves instead. Here! Here! Where do I sign up?? It seems to have worked pretty good in Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, and most everywhere else that a guerrilla war has been waged against the most powerful military force on the planet now hasnt it? No reason why it wouldnt work here. Yep, plenty will die, but waging asymmetrical war against our armed services appears to hamstring them. I guess you didnt notice all three of those countries were or are being destroyed with agent orange, napalm, spent uranium, bio- and chemical weapons, drone strikes, and a host of other techno-atrocities. Vietnam still shows horrid evidence of the war on both the land and the people. I saw this with my own eyes a few years ago. The only reason the war ended in Vietnam was because the American people revolted and kept revolting until the troops were brought home. I dont know what theyre teaching in school these days but I was here for that, I spent most of my college years illegally disarming tear gas grenades being used against students. We finally came back from Iraq (kinda sorta) because there was nothing much of value left to blow up. And Syria? Russia wiped out our CIA-backed guerilla armies in a matter of weeks. I understand you have an opinion and thats fine, but it appears to be based on a misunderstanding of actual history. Guerilla war, while certainly admirable and brave, doesnt work pretty good against battle groups, drones, missiles, WMD, etc. And waging a guerilla war against our own military? Thats what all those new female recruits would be used for. Did you know that the original bill was called Draft Americas Daughters Act? I hope you dont have young daughters. Nope, just grand-daughters. American Swastika. Well if they have any brains they all should refuse because they are being forced to sign up for their potential death. Get out of the evil wicked murdering military. Let those evil people who pass theses laws go and fight themselves you will always find the biggest cowards are those who send others to do their dirty work. We should round up all of those who desire war and put them all in a rubber cell and let them bash each other up. We live or exist on a planet that has become insane because we allow the most wicked and evil of humanity to rule us by fear and vile trumped up laws. Your statement is illogical unless you can prove for a fact that everyone who serves or has Women turning 18 need to refuse to sign up. If they All refuse, there is nothing they can do! There is no legal law allowing involuntary servitude, and no twisting of words from the administration or attorneys can change the easy to understand written constitution! Why are you not calling for the men who turn 18 refuse to sign up? The Dump is gunna use it against Mexicans and Muslims in 2017 and then use it against all other political opponents and hes gunna have opponents after he does away with the Iran deal and starts ww3 Thats where youre wrong, Brian. Donald Trump isnt going to be a dictator; what he plans is to deport illegal aliens, build a wall on our southern border and deny foreign Muslims into this nation. He wont start WWIII, either. He pledged that, if elected, he would restore friendly relations and trade with all nations. Now, Brian, does that sound like starting WWIII to you? Donald is most certainly a politician. Youll note hes running for president. Based on every other president in modern history you have no idea what he will do when he gets into office because what they say to get elected is never the same thing as what they do once they get the power. And Hillary will never, ever be prosecuted for her silly email snafu, or the murder she oversaw in Benghazi, any more than Obama was impeached for lying about being born in Kenya, or Bush was indicted for lying about WMD in Iraq and overseeing the events of 9/11. You have a lot to learn about things really work and voting for any of them is beyond stupid because you are agreeing to be led by psychopaths, The Donald included. Your one statement is the way I feel. They talk all this good stuff before they get elected, but then it was all clowns and circuses. I doubt Trump will do hardly anything he says he will do, when he gets elected. I, and others, can only hope and pray for all the good things he says he will do though! Like not letting anymore Muslims in this country (doubt he can get the ones already in here, out). once elected there is more pressure and too many advisors , many of those trying to thwart the american citizens rights. Women wanted equal rights got it along with equal draft. The Pauls are not good people. Theyre self-serving Libertarians. Why doesnt anyone ever really look into what their movement is about for cripes sake. There are some very good reasons why they are anti-fed and anti-war. And it aint got nothing to do with compassion or empathy or Humanity. Just look at their God, Ayn Rand if you want to get the real picture. Not her fiction, though that is also telling, but study the person. Her anarchist, narcissist and nihilist beliefs. Then when someone you know praises the Pauls, or some other Libertarian scoundrel, give them a good hard slap for their own good. Of course looking at your handle, Im not so sure. I may just be pissing in the wind here But other than that Im in full agreement! Perhaps McTraitor can explain how suspension of due process (to which he gave an oath to defend and protect) The Federal government can only get away with what the states allow. The states are within their rights to eject any and all Federal government activities and regulations from their states. Therefore, theres no real reason for any states to complain. Just state youre not going to participate in any NDAA. That goes for Selective Service, as well. No person can be forced against their will to sign up for it. indefinite detention w/o right to trial sounds like 3rd world or colonial daze under George III again a false flag while they pass an unconstitutional NDAA 2017 hilary and obama need each other to cover up their crimes We seem to share some few parallels. Politically, creatively. And why not? Considering the times then and since. You are an accomplished photographer no doubt. Did you notice that we also seem to share similar tastes in subject matter? A very few of my original designs are taken from my own amateur photographs. And there are some of public domain origin as well. Thanks to Uncle Sam. A saw a few of your photos that Im sure would look good on one of my calendars. You might want to think about that this Fall. Thank you so much for sharing. And not just the photography! Does anyone know specifically where this indefinite detention of American citizens without due process is listed in the NDAA 2016 and 2017? We must have the evidence, facts, and truth please and not a bunch of fear-mongering. 
1	His suit still smeared with the entrails and blood of his broadcasting partner, Fox color commentator Troy Aikman told reporters Monday that the sub-zero temperatures during Sunday's NFC title game necessitated gutting open play-by-by announcer Joe Buck, dumping his bowels onto the floor of the booth, and climbing inside the carcass late in the third quarter. 'With the temperatures continuing to fall throughout the game, there was really little else I could do to avoid hypothermia,' Aikman said, noting that his hands were so cold he was afraid of cutting his fingers off when making the incision from Buck's groin and drawing the knife up to the sternum during a TV timeout. 'I hated to sacrifice Joe, but I was afraid for my life.' Aikman said his colleague's sacrifice was noble in the extreme, but noted he'd thought Buck smelled bad on the outside. 
3	Venezuela Enforces Fingerprint Registry to Buy Groceries: What to do Before Rationing Starts in The U.S.Daisy Luther Thats exactly the plan in Venezuela right now. The AP reports that in an effort to crack down on hoarding that ID cards will be issued to families. These will have to be presented before foodstuffs can be purchased. Last year in Venezuela, it became a crime to hoard food, and the countrys Attorney General called upon prosecutors to crack down on hoarders by imprisoning them for the crime. Some people may read this and think to themselves, Why on earth do I care about what happens in Venezuela? Youd better care, because this is our future. Already the Obama administration has moved the pieces into place on the board to be able to appropriate supplies from anyone, at any time. Mac Slavo of SHTFplan warns: Just think how much easier it would be to do so if every purchase you make is tracked and documented for future reference. How Much of a Footprint Are You Leaving? Now, think about those loyalty cards that every grocery store in North America promotes when you go through the checkout. Have you noticed how much more those are being pushed lately? Could there be a nefarious purpose to that? I doubt the person at the cash register thinks twice about it if these actually are data collection tools, it is something put in place by people far higher up the food chain (pun intended) than the staff of your local supermarket. I strongly recommend you think twice about collecting points the discounts may not be worth it if it means that your stock-up purchases are in some database, easily accessible to the NSA. If you feel it is imperative to have one of those cards, consider using a pseudonym and false address. You really dont want to provide an inventory of your stockpile to the government. Some cards, like the one from Target, for example, even take it a step further and link to your credit card or debit account. I cant even wrap my brain around giving out that type of information to the person who rings up my paper towels and garbage bags. To take this even further, if you havent been convinced yet that you need to begin producing your own food by gardening and raising micro-livestock, this should solidify the importance of not being totally dependent on the system for what you eat. Looking at the drought conditions across Americas farmland, is it a stretch of the imagination to think we could soon be facing rationing like that which is currently happening in Venezuela? As the middle class gasps its last breath here in America, we may soon be faced with a situation where only the wealthy can afford to avoid rationing. By becoming independent from the purveyors of food, you can assure that your family will not go hungry at the whims of a government who really doesnt care. Plan of Action Here are a few things that you can do to pre-empt feeling the effects of a system like the one in Venezuela before such a change occurs on our own soil. Start now to leave less of a footprint for the government to follow. Whatever your plan, dont delay. We need only to read the many articles predicting a food shortage this year due to poor weather conditions to see the writing on the wall. You must become responsible for your familys sustenance if you dont want to suffer at the hands of those in power. I have no intention of standing in line for hours with my ID card, only to be allowed to purchase a small amount of highly inflated food. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

3	The Undoing of US Interventionism?Tony Cartalucci It is even suggested by Russian sources that the regime in Kiev attempted to use Stenin as a bargaining chip during negotiations, giving the illusion the missing journalist was still alive. Killed by NATO-backed Neo-Nazi extremists who seized power in Kiev during the US-EU engineered so-called Euromaidan, the subsequent civilian and journalist deaths are nothing less than provocative crimes. Meanwhile, within the nebulous territory of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), two American journalists have also been purportedly killed allegedly executed by ISIS terrorists. Despite even many Western sources admitting the execution video of American journalist James Foley was staged, and with the latest video depicting Steven Sotloffs execution featuring the same fictional executioner, at the same location, using the same props, the hysteria and justification for direct US military intervention in Syria has reached a fever pitch. US Governor of Florida Rick Scott, according to the Miami Herald, would boldly proclaim: Here is what they need to understand Steve Sotloff was a Floridian, but more importantly he was an American. If you attack one American, you are attacking all Americans. Last week President Obama said that his Administration does not at present have a strategy for dealing with ISIS these immoral evil people. I think I can speak for all Floridians and all Americans when I say that the time for a strategy is now, and part of that strategy needs to include destroying them. Similar politically-motivated calls for war with Syria were made in the wake of Sotloffs alleged execution again even with it being widely acknowledged that the videos of his and Foleys execution were staged. Following Americas logic, Russia could likewise declare the need to deal with the immoral evil people who have seized Kiev under the banner of overt Nazism in the wake of its journalists being captured and/or killed by the regime. ISIS Timing Impeccable If the Pentagon had an office dedicated to starting wars, and were in particular looking to create a war with Syria, it could not do a more effective job at corralling the American people with fear and hysteria behind the cause of war better than ISIS. With the NATO summit in Wales unfolding, ISIS timing with the alleged execution of a second US journalists, stokes the fires conveniently just ahead of public decisions that will be made regarding the military conglomerates many conflicts raging around the globe. Pressuring members to join a coalition will be all the easier with Sotloffs alleged execution still making Western headlines. Simultaneously threatening Russias interests in Syria, while seeking to counter Russian opposition to its agenda in Ukraine, strengthens NATOs hand all thanks to ISIS impeccable timing. For the uninformed, if they had not suspected ties between ISIS and the Wests agenda before, they should now. Journalist-Slaying ISIS Created by US The problem with the US using ISIS provocations to justify military intervention in Syria is that ISIS is in fact the intentional, engineered creation of the US in the first place. Another comment made in the wake of Sotloffs alleged death was by US Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen who claimed: This atrocious and brutal act shows that ISILs cruelty knows no bounds and that it has no respect for human life. ISIL is a global terror group that espouses an ideology that poses a grave threat to regional security as well as U.S. national security interests both at home and abroad. Before the inception of ISIS by the Western media, and as far back as 2007, Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran journalist Seymour Hersh would portend the creation of just such a terror group in his 9-page report in the New Yorker titled, The Redirection Is the Administrations new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism? He stated that (emphasis added): To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coperated with Saudi Arabias government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda. That by-product is ISIS. Through Americas own premeditated conspiracy to plunge not only Syria, but the entire region into genocidal sectarian bloodshed resulted directly in the alleged murders of both Foley and Sotloff, not to mention tens of thousands of Iraqis, Syrians, Lebanese, and many others. The Interventionists Quandary Despite the US direct culpability in both Foley and Sotloffs deaths, at the hands of terrorist mercenaries the US itself had organized, funded, armed, and to this day perpetuate, it is using what appear to be staged provocations to simply expand its proxy war against Syria including now, the prospect of direct military intervention. The difference then between Russia intervening in Ukraine to stop the slaughter of its citizens, and the US intervening in Syria to stop the slaughter of its citizens, is that Russia did not create the regime in Kiev, and has bitterly condemned the Nazi militants waging Kievs war on its own people in eastern Ukraine where as the threat the US claims it is responding to is its own documented creation. The quandary those supporting American interventionism face is the fact that it is not interventionism at all. It is imperialism dressed up as interventionism. Crises and threats are intentionally engineered to justify what would otherwise be unjustifiable, naked military aggression, conquest, and socioeconomic geopolitical subjugation. NATOs stated goal is a Europe whole and free, meaning, completely consolidated under its mnemonic military conglomerate, while being integrated under the special interests driving the supranational European Union. While it poses as defenders of Ukraine against Russian aggression, the truth is Ukraine was long ago embedded within Russias sphere of influence speaking the same language, sharing a common history and culture, and even at times throughout their collective history, sharing the same borders. It was the US that was admittedly behind Ukraines 2004 so-called Orange Revolution. It was on record a US-engineered uprising designed to install into power an anti-Russian regime that would then tear Ukraine from Russias orbit. The Guardian would admit in its 2004 article, US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev, that: while the gains of the orange-bedecked chestnut revolution are Ukraines, the campaign is an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing that, in four countries in four years, has been used to try to salvage rigged elections and topple unsavoury regimes. Funded and organised by the US government, deploying US consultancies, pollsters, diplomats, the two big American parties and US non-government organisations, the campaign was first used in Europe in Belgrade in 2000 to beat Slobodan Milosevic at the ballot box. While the Guardian attempts to justify American meddling in multiple nations as an attempt to salvage rigged elections and topple unsavoury regimes, it is clear that the US was backing its own collection of unsavoury actors and that such principles were nothing more than cover for meddling beyond its borders. It is also clear that the so-called Euromaidan was simply a clumsier, more violent version of the Orange Revolution, a continuation of Americas desire to strip away Russian influence along its own borders, surround, isolate, and eventually absorb Moscow itself. When Americas interventionism is clearly nothing of the sort, and instead poorly disguised imperialism, the US plays a dangerous game claiming it can intervene in Syria to stop mercenaries it itself created, while denying Russia the right to act along its own borders to stop chaos also of Americas creation. Dangerous End Game Not only is the Wests interventionist narrative being strained to its breaking point, but the sheer strategic and logistical realities in both Syria and Ukraine, favor Russia over the West. Already, before intervention, Russia is far ahead of the West in Ukraine, while the West has floundered in its self-made Syrian quagmire for years. Russia possesses obvious advantages involving any intervention in Ukraine including proximity, language, culture, economics, and many sympathetic Ukrainians. Conversely, the US is reviled across the entire Middle East, separated by thousands of miles, with language and cultural barriers impeding any military operation it decides to directly take. Additionally, Syria does not stand alone. It is backed by interests in Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. A similar arrangement in Eastern Europe in support of Ukraine involves covert aid being sent by NATO via unwilling members with strained resources. Whatever support NATO could wring out of its members, it already has, and it clearly is not enough. Escalating such support will be difficult if not impossible, and repeated claims of Russian invasions and staged provocations like the MH17 catastrophe now ignored almost entirely by the Western media appear to have a fatiguing effect both politically and upon public opinion. In the end, US interventionism is cover for naked imperialism. Without a real moral imperative, the West is attempting to sustain hegemonic aspirations across the globe through deceit and staged provocations. It is demonstrably a losing proposition. Amid the chaos it is creating numerous cases for real interventionism for Russia to deal with literal Nazis along its border and for Iran and its allies to deal with sectarian mercenaries and their state-sponsors along their borders are being created. As the balance in global influence tips out of favor for the West, such interventions may become a reality. And while a declared World War may never come to pass, what will effectively unfold will be a global backlash against Western aggression underpinned by a true moral imperative, pushing it back behind its borders and dismantling its accomplices beyond them.

3	European Food Safety Authority Promises to Release Data on GlyphosateBy Derrick Broze On Thursday, the European Unions European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) stated that they will soon release raw data from the studies theyreviewed upon concluding that glyphosate does not cause cancer.Glyphosate is not only the most widely used herbicide, it is a key ingredient in biotech giant Monsantos popular Roundup products. The EFSA stated that releasing the data will further increase the transparency of the glyphosate evaluation. In March 2015, the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)found that glyphosate probably contributes to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in humans and classified it as a Group 2A carcinogen. Aaron Blair, a scientist emeritus at the National Cancer Institute and lead author of the study, told Reuters, There was sufficient evidence in animals, limited evidence in humans and strong supporting evidence showing DNA mutations and damaged chromosomes. The researchers also found convincing evidence that glyphosate can also cause cancer in laboratory animals. The report points out that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) had originally classified glyphosate as possibly carcinogenic to humans in 1985. The IARC Working Group evaluated the original EPA findings and more recent reports before concluding there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals. This conclusion was disputed bythe EFSA.In November 2015,Bernhard Url, Executive Director of the EFSA, statedglyphosate is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic hazard to humans and the evidence does not support classification with regard to its carcinogenic potential.Urls position did not sit well with environmental activists who agreed with the IARCs findings. Ninety-six academics from around the world signed an open letter to European Health Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis, dated Nov. 27, urging EU authorities to ignore the European watchdogss opinion, Reuters reported at the time.We urge you and the European Commission to disregard the flawed EFSA finding on glyphosate in your formulation of glyphosate health and environmental policy for Europe. The letter was written by Christopher Portier of the non-governmental organization the Environmental Defense Fund. Portier was a specialist consulted as part of the IARC study on glyphosate. Portiers letter called for a transparent, open and credible review of the scientific literature. Now the EFSA is responding to those criticism by promising to release their data.Transparency and openness are essential values for EFSA because they strengthen confidence in science, EFSAs Executive Director Url said. Sharing the data that underpin our work is a key ingredient in making science reproducible and therefore trusted. No specific date was given for the release of the data. The EFSA is not the only bureaucracy to dispute the carcinogenic qualities of glyphosate.TheUnited Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) alsoreleased a statement claiming that glyphosate is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans exposed to it through food. The World Health Organization WHO co-signed the statement with the FAO. The organizations also found that glyphosate is not likely to be genotoxic, destructive to cells genetic material, in humans. In view of the absence of carcinogenic potential in rodents at human-relevant doses and the absence of genotoxicity by the oral route in mammals, and considering the epidemiological evidence from occupational exposures, the meeting concluded that glyphosate is unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk to humans from exposure through the diet, the committee wrote. For those keeping score, thats the FAO, WHO, EFSA, and UN stating that glyphosate does not pose a risk of cancer to humans, and the WHOs IARC stating that it could be linked to cancer. Despite the findings by the WHO and FAO, glyphosate has been linked to other health problems. In 2014 Anti-Media reported on a studypublished in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health which claims to have found a link between glyphosate and the fatal Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown origin (CKDu), which largely affects rice farmers in Sri Lanka and other nations. In response Sri Lanka has banned glyphosate and Brazil is considering doing the same. Glyphosate is also not the only Monsanto product that has recently been connected to cancer. In June 2015, the IARC also found that the weed killer 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, known as 2,4-D, possibly causes cancer in humans. Who is the average person with only a basic understanding of this science and these chemicals to trust in this situation? The European government organization, the American bureaucracy, or the global government? None should be fully trusted, but we can look to these institutions and inspect the people involved, the financial connections, and other possible conflicts of interest in hopes of finding some clarity. One thing is for certain, whether or not glyphosate is a cancer risk, it is a fact that the over reliance on pesticides and chemicals is damaging the planet, the plants, and the animals. Is is that difficult to imagine that it could also be damaging to human life? Whats the solution? Stop supporting these industrial factory farms that partner with Monsanto, stop using chemicals to grow food, and invest in organic community and backyard gardens. These are powerful beginning steps towards reestablishing balance between humanity and the planet. Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist and liberty activist.

2	Youll Never Believe What Unforgivable Thing Oprah Did To Ruin The Lives Of Americans Well, it appears that Oprah Winfrey is about to enter into a lawsuit with a homeowner in Colorado, who is claiming that Oprah is trying to take over land that legally, belongs to his family. Last March, Oprahs Yellow Brick Road LLC purchased 60-acres of undeveloped land in San Miguel County for nearly $11 million. Just two weeks later, however, Dr. Charles Goodman, who owns a home in the Telluride Ski Ranches, filed a lawsuit claiming that he owns some of the land on Oprahs property. Therefore, he claims, his family and their guests must be allowed to use the property for hiking. According to Goodmans lawsuit, his family has owned the Skunk Creek Trail and Water Line Trail running through the property for the past 25 years, after the Forest Service released the property in the Goodman Agreement. An easement is an interest in real property. Its a right to use that real property, claims Robert Korn, attorney for the Goodman family, She intended to close down the trails and put up fences and gates. So we knew we would no longer have access to our trails. Now, Oprahs multi-million dollar property is in jeopardy, and the previous owners are claiming she did not present an accurate proposal for the land. 
1	Calling it 'perfectly safe for the most part,' and 'not nearly as destructive or fatal as previously thought,' the Food and Drug Administration approved the enterobacteria salmonella for human consumption this week. FDA director Stephen Sundlof okays the bacteria for eating, drinking, and applying directly to the skin. The federal agency, which has struggled in recent years to contain the food-borne pathogen, and repeatedly failed to prevent tainted products from reaching store shelves, announced Monday that salmonella was now completely okay for all Americans to enjoy. 'Rigorous testing has shown that salmonella is...fine,' FDA director of food safety Stephen Sundlof said. 'In fact, our research indicates that there's no need to pull any more foodstuffs from the market. Not raw chicken. Not contaminated spinach. Not thousands of jars of harmful peanut butter. Not anything.' 'It's approved,' Sundlof continued.'Healthy, delicious salmonella is finally approved.' Following the announcement, the FDA released a 20-page report, which included evidence that salmonella is barely more dangerous than other live-culture products such as yogurt, and results from a clinical trial which found that participants who ingested salmonella were totally fine for up to three minutes. A variety of products containing the newly approved food-borne microbe will hit non-refrigerated shelves this month. The report also concluded that salmonella has been around American kitchens for centuries now, and must therefore be at least harmless, if not actually good for us. 'Of course, as with everything, we encourage moderation,' lead FDA researcher Phillip Millar said. 'Don't just eat a whole pint of salmonella in one sitting. It's like ice cream or, for example, E. coli in that respect.' Added Millar, 'A little bit goes a long way.' According to FDA officials, the intracellular bacterium will be commercially available in a variety of forms. Plans are already in the works to offer salmonella as a flavorful topping, food spread, powdered drink mix, dessert gelatin, and as a 'no frills' yellow liquid guaranteed to enhance one's overall eating experience. Salmonella is said to contain the seven essential forms of bacteria growing infants need. With hundreds of possible applications, the newly approved gram-negative microbe will also open the door for many innovative and exciting products. 'This is thrilling news,' Hellmann's CEO Robert Reichert said. 'We've been waiting for the federal go-ahead to produce salmonella for decades now. In fact, we have an entire line of lukewarm, sun-soaked, and partially turned mayonnaises that we just know Americans will love.' One of several new foods to feature the motile microorganism is Salmonell-Osan O-shaped breakfast cereal packed with hearty typhoid clusterswhich is expected to hit grocery stores by April. Other products currently in development include Salmonella Helper, Kraft's Extremely Painful Mac, 'Nella Wafers, and peanut butter. 'Now that salmonella's been approved, we're working overtime to get our products to market,' said David Wellbrook, head of sales for Oscar Mayer, the nation's leading producer of bologna-based goods. 'I've never seen so many orders come through in a single year, much less a single day. It's incredible.' News of salmonella's approval also comes as a relief to many homemakers, who, until now, had been cautioned against letting the bacteria spread. 'It used to be such a pain to have to sanitize my kitchen,' Chicago resident Margaret Thewles said. 'Now all I need is one cutting board. I'll cut raw poultry on it, prepare my salad veggies on it, and then use it to serve dessert when I'm done.' Michael Weinback, a California native and father of two young children, agreed with Thewles. 'This is arrghhh great,' Weinback said from the bottom of his living room stairs. 'Oh, Jesus here it comes agaiuuuuhhhhh, Christ. Get hel just get aarrghh.'

2	Muslim Students Walk Out During National Anthem [VIDEO] According to recent reports, Cranbourne Carlisle Primary School of Victoria has come under fire after allowing young Muslim students to walk out of an assembly when the national anthem is played. Students were given the opportunity to leave in order to observe a religious month of mourning. The move did not come without protests from parents, who argued that Austalians should be proud to sing the anthem, regardless of religion. Lorraine McCurdy, grandmother to two of the students expressed her outrage at seeing between 30 and 40 pupils leaving the assembly. A teacher came forward and said all thanks who feel its against their culture may leave the room, McCurdy told reporters. I saw red. I felt you dont walk out on my national anthem.' Cheryl Irving, the schools principal, has stood behind her decision, claiming that during the month of mourning Muslim students do not participate in joyful events. The religious month marks the death of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Muhammad. What do you think? Do you agree with the outrage? What would you do if your students were at this school? 
3	The Soul-Rape of Bradley ManningWendy McElroy On June 3rd, the trial of Manning began. He previously pled guilty to 10 offenses that could collectively bring 20 years in custody, but the military prosecutors were not satisfied. They pursued the capital offense of aiding the enemy which can be punished by execution or life imprisonment. This is Obamas warning to anyone else who is tempted to speak truth to power. WHAT YOU ARE TOLD IS ON TRIAL The American government and military were acutely embarrassed. For example, one video consisted of cockpit gunsight footage from a US helicopter that was involved in the series of July 12, 2007 airstrikes on Baghdad in which an estimated 18 people were killed, including two Reuters war correspondents. The military claimed the dead were armed insurgents, and at least two of them had weapons which is common practice in Iraq. The Pentagon buried the footage by refusing a Freedom of Information request from Reuters. When the video was leaked, it showed an indiscriminate slaughter. Its audio captured the unalloyed joy of the Americans as they killed and an absolute lack of remorse when they realized young children were among the dead. The 1971 leak of the Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg was a turning point in the Vietnam War because it revealed the depth of lies being told by the American government to the American people. Mannings act was a turning point in the Iraq and Afghan wars but it had far wider impact. For one thing, it was instrumental in sparking the Arab Spring; one diplomatic cable discredited the Tunisian government by verifying the raw corruption of the President and his family. MANNINGS UNFORGIVEABLE SIN Indiscriminate slaughter and the torture of detainees do not disturb the Obama administration; talking about them does. Manning not only talked but he backed everything up with data. For exposing and embarrassing them, government wishes not merely to punish Manning but to crush him utterly so that his example does not inspire others. To do so, it must make transparency into treason. The accusation of aiding and abetting the enemy is a drastic and dangerous expansion of the Espionage Act. The exact wording of the charge: Knowingly giving intelligence to the enemy through indirect means. Traditionally, direct means have been required; that is, a person directly and intentionally provided intelligence to the enemy. The prosecutors now contend that the transfer can be indirect and unintentional. They argue Manning should have known Al Qaeda could access the information; his intention of revealing a war crime to the world becomes irrelevant. The New York Times observed, This would turn all government whistle-blowing into treason: a grave threat to both potential sources and American journalism. The civil libertarian Glenn Greenwald explained further, [The new legal theory] would basically mean that any kind of leak now of classified information to newspapers, where your intent is not to aid the Taliban or help them but to expose wrongdoing, is now considered a capital offense and considered aiding and abetting the enemy.And thats an amazingly broad and expansive definition The expanded theory becomes a de facto gag order, especially in the hands of Obama who has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous Presidents combined. There is no question that Manning broke the law. The fault lies not in Manning but in the military. No person nor organization has the right to force a man to surrender his conscience and mutely watch the slaughter of children. He has an inalienable right to speak the truth. To claim otherwise is to argue that a soldier is literally property, a slave of the military and no longer a man. In Civil Disobedience, Henry David Thoreau declared, Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right.Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice. Speaking specifically of soldiers who surrender their conscience, Thoreau continued, They have no doubt that it is a damnable business in which they are concerned; they are all peaceably inclined. Now, what are they? Men at all? or small movable forts and magazines, at the service of some unscrupulous man in power? [B]ehold a marine, such a man as an American government can makea mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity Manning has already spent 1110 days in prison, much of it in solitary confinement and other conditions that human rights organizations call torture. Even for the most military of men, 1110 days and the prospect of 20 years more should be enough punishment for the crime of retaining a conscience. WHAT THE TRIAL MEANS ABOUT AMERICA Roger Williams, the Puritan founder of Rhode Island, was Americas first revolutionary. He created the American soul by inextricably linking individual liberty with freedom of belief. In the 1640s, Williams argued passionately for soul liberty that is, an individuals conscience should be free from outside interference and control. [T]o force the Consciences of the Unwilling is a Soul-rape, he declared bluntly. Drawing upon Williams, the contemporary American philosopher Martha Nussbaum further defined soul-rape as forcing people to affirm convictions that they may not hold, or to give assent to orthodoxies they dont support. Williams won the argument, and the First Amendment was the ultimate result. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press The amendment was first in the Bill of Rights because freedom of conscience and speech is the most fundamental of human rights. Around the world, Americans became renowned as a people who bowed their heads and beliefs to no one; they spoke and believed freely. And, so, the world gravitated toward America because of the hunger within human beings to think and decide for themselves. It is a hunger for human dignity. The persecution of Manning is an attempt to destroy the core of what it means to be American by destroying freedom of conscience and speech. The police and surveillance state of America wants to control information down to the level of reaching inside peoples minds to instill a fear of speaking or deciding for themselves. Obama is raping the soul of America. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLES: Wendy McElroy is a frequent Dollar Vigilante contributor and renowned individualist anarchist and individualist feminist.

3	ElBaradei Heads Egypts Interim GovernmentStephen Lendman Ousting Morsi unleashed widespread violence. Pitched battles erupted. Both sides clashed with each other. On July 6, Russia Today reported Fridays toll caused 36 deaths. One or more others followed. Over 1,100 were injured. Unknown numbers were arrested. Neither sides yielding so far. Egypts Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) is notoriously brutal. Mercy isnt in its vocabulary. It conspired with Washington against Morsi. Popular outrage made him damaged goods. Hes gone. Hes under house arrest. So are other Freedom and Justice party members. Dozens are detained. Warrants are out for hundreds more. Egypt remains a tinder box. Civil wars unlikely but could happen. Anythings possible going forward. Things are far from resolved. Friday through overnight, street battles raged. They did so across Cairo. Alexandria reported some of the worst violence. Muslim Brotherhood officials urged a Friday of Rage. On Saturday, Reuters first headlined Egypt counts dead after Islamist protest violence. It changed to New Leader starts work as Egypt counts dead. He held talks with SCAF generals and political leaders. Both sides remain encamped in different parts of Cairo. SCAF chose Egypts Supreme Constitutional Court chief justice Adly Mansour as interim president. So is former IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei. Hes Egypts interim prime minister. His spokesman confirmed it. State television announced it. The New York Times, Reuters, and other news services reported it. Hell form a caretaker cabinet. He, Mansour, and appointed ministers will oversea affairs of state. ElBaradei heads the so-called National Salvation Front. He does so jointly with former Arab League secretary-general Amr Moussa and Egyptian Popular Current leader Hamdeen Sabahi. Its an anti-Morsi umbrella group. Its pro-Western. It defends privilege against populism. It assures business as usual. Mansour ElBareidei, and appointed ministers will govern until parliamentary elections are held. They represent what Egyptians deplore. A previous article explained. On July 4, The New York Times headlined Prominent Egyptian Liberal Says He Sought Wests Support for Uprising. ElBaradeis no liberal. He lobbied to be Washingtons man in Cairo. Hes no populist. Hes cutting deals. Reports say hell maintain good relations with Israel. Hell collude against Palestinian rights. Hell contest Hezbollah. Hell back Washingtons war on Syria. Hell be hardline against Irans peaceful nuclear program. Hell enforce neoliberal harshness. In an interview, said The Times, ElBaradei defended the widening arrests of Mr. Morsis Muslim Brotherhood allies and the shutdown of Islamist television networks that followed the removal of Mr. Morsi on Wednesday by Egypts generals. The security people obviously are worried there was an earthquake and we have to make sure that the tremors are predicted and controlled, he said. They are taking some precautionary measures to avoid violence; well, this is something that I guess they have to do as a security measure. But nobody should be detained or arrested in anticipation unless there is a clear accusation, and it has to be investigated by the attorney general and settled in a court. He vowed to ensure everybody who is being rounded up or detained, it is by order of the attorney general and being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood is no crime. He said one thing. He means another. Washington rules matter. ElBaradeis on board to obey. His words ring hollow. (I)ts deja vu all over again, he added. (H)opefully this time we will get it right, he said. He left unexplained what he means. More blood in the streets is likely. Things havent subsided by any means. SCAFs complicit with Pentagon commanders. Israels IDF is kept informed. So are Netanyahu and top Israeli officials. A state of emergency exists. Martial law was declared. Egypts constitution was suspended. Junta power rules. Its beholden to monied interests. Washington ones matter most. In 2011, Egyptians ousted Mubarak. They did so for progressive change. They challenged Morsi for the same reason. They acted in vain. Neoliberal harshness remains policy. Washington rules run things. Reuters, Haaretz and other news services reported attacks on Egyptian Coptic Christians. Sinai border areas could erupt. On July 5, Mossad-connected DEBKAfile (DF) headlined Israeli military alerts prompted by Islamist mutiny threat from Sinai and first attacks. SCAF raised its own alert. Israel suppressed news from the region. Gazas Rafah border crossing was closed. It connects Gaza with Egypt. Orders came after reported attacks on SCAF Sinai checkpoints and installations. Al-Arish, its airport, Sheikh Zuweid and Rafah were targeted. Hamas is wrongfully blamed. Rafahs border crossing remains closed. Doing so exacerbates humanitarian conditions. It comes when Israel imposed tighter restrictions. Fuel constraints deprive households, businesses, farmers, hospitals and other public services with too little. Gazan gas distributors have too little to supply. Some people wait weeks for allocations. Israeli rules are imposed punitively. Egypts crisis ups the stakes on all sides. Other vital services are denied. SCAF targets Gazas tunnel economy. It helps enforce Israels blockade. It causes enormous human suffering. It continues unabated. DF lied claiming Egypts Muslim Brotherhood wants Sinai turned into an area of revolt and a base for attacking Israel. Expect follow-up reports against its ousted regime. DFs credibility too often is sorely lacking. Morsi maintained good relations with Israel. Despite popular opposition, its Cairo embassy remains open. Its protected. Israel v. Egypt isnt the issue. Its Washington/Israel/SCAF against social, political and economic justice. Egyptians demand what they wont get. Their liberating struggle continues.

3	5 Books Homeschool Parents Must ReadBohemian Mom Having a good support system is vital, whether it is local homeschooling groups, your spouse, or simply some good friends to listen to you and encourage you. But another important component to starting the journey or just battling through some of the tougher times along the way, is to have a good arsenal of books that you can read and continue to refer to. These books brilliantly shape the philosophy of homeschooling and offer creative alternative ideas that are essential knowledge for all parents. Ive found the books on the list below to be invaluable for my homeschooling experience. Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling by John Taylor Gatto Dumbing Us Down is a truly eye opening book and comes full of harsh criticism of the public education system. Gatto has a leg to stand on though, as he was a NYC school teacher for over 30 years, and actually a recipient of the New York Teacher of the Year award, which gave him great knowledge of the inner workings of the system. He shows how children in school are being conditioned to conform rather than being taught to actually think and retain creativity. It is a great book to read before starting your journey, but I have also referred to it several times when I have felt insecure about my decision, as a reminder of what I am pushing against by home schooling. You will feel enlightened, captivated, and most of all inspired! Learning All the Time by John Holt Considered by many to be the forefather of the homeschooling or unschooling movement, John Holts Learning All the Time shows us how children learn the basics of life, at home, in every moment of their day. Through play, cooking, and interaction with parents they learn to read, write, do math, and figure out how the world works. As he says, Learning is as natural as breathing! Again, this is a seminal book to read both before and during the process of homeschooling, but it is also a good book to teach us to enjoy and encourage play in the lives of our children. When you read his common sense ideas about relating to children it is hard to dispute, or to go on living any other way. His joy and respect of children shines through the pages and makes you yearn to lead the same type of life with your children that he proposes in his writing because its a brilliant formula for happiness! Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn A personal favorite, Unconditional Parenting is a book that not only every homeschooling parent should read but every parent in general should, at a minimum, browse. No book has done as much to change the way we relate to our children, for the better, than this one. His peaceful approach to parenting is simply impossible to argue with if you love your children more than anything else in the world. A great mindset read for all parents, but especially those that are interested in investing in a relationship of mutual respect and peaceful, unconditional love through an attachment style of parenting. You may not agree with some of the ideas, but I guarantee you will look at your children in a new light. Rather than focusing on getting our children to do what we want, Kohn contends that, the true question we should be asking is what do our children need! You may feel skeptical at first of some of his radical ideas, but by the end of reading this book packed full of research and alternative ideas that he offers, makes it a very helpful guide. What do you have to lose? Try living by his approach for just a month and I am willing to bet you and your children will be happier for it. Incidentally, you will naturally feel a deeper understanding of what it is to be parents. Excellent read! Deschooling Our Lives edited by Matt Hern One of the things that I tell parents who are new to the idea of homeschooling or unschooling is that they first need to de-school themselves before they can fully commit to homeschool their children. By that, I mean you must first rid yourself of the conditioning that you endured in school in order to see that school and education are not mutually exclusive. Hern attempts to show how the day-to-day public school experience kills childrens natural love of learning, crushes self esteem and creativity, and teaches children to besubservient. It can even destroy independent thought. One of the harder things to comprehend before embarking on a homeschool journey is what your days will look like and how exactly it is all done. I find that one of the best ways to get a clear picture in your head is to hear from people actually doing it. This book gives you just that. So Youre Thinking About Homeschooling answers many of the most common questions regarding socialization, time management,curriculum, learning disabilities, sports involvement, and so much more. It offers a diverse view so that you can see that, in fact, anyone can homeschool if it is what they really want to do. Welchels book will give you the confidence you need and the resources you seek all in one spot! It is essential that you educate yourself before attempting such a drastic change in the normal lifestyle. Most of these authors have written several books that can help in your path of homeschooling your child. If you are looking for even more inspiration, start with these and your journey will lead you to many more. Happy Homeschooling!

3	Washington State house votes to nullify federal hemp ban, 97-0selfnews Post Sponsored by Representative Matt Shea (R), along with Christopher Hurst (D), Cary Condotta (R), Jeff Holy (R), David Taylor (R) and Jason Overstreet (R), the Hemp Freedom Act would permit the development in Washington of an industrial hemp industry, effectively nullifying the de facto federal prohibition on the farming and production of hemp crops within the United States. Introduced in February 2013, HB1888 was first passed by a House committee nearly a year ago. Since the enactment of the unconstitutional federal controlled-substances act in 1970, the Drug Enforcement Agency has prevented the production of hemp within the United States. Many hemp supporters feel that the DEA has been used as an attack dog of sorts to prevent competition with major industries where American-grown hemp products would create serious market competition: Cotton, Paper/Lumber, Oil, and others. Experts count as many as 25,000 uses for industrial hemp, including food, cosmetics, plastics and bio-fuel. The U.S. is currently the worlds #1 importer of hemp fiber for various products, with China and Canada acting as the top two exporters in the world. Industrial hemp is used for a wide variety of purposes including the manufacture of cordage of varying tensile strength, durable clothing and nutritional products. During World War II, the United States military relied heavily on hemp products, which resulted in the famous campaign and government-produced film, Hemp for Victory! Even though soil, climate and agricultural capabilities could make the United States a massive producer of industrial hemp, today no hemp is grown for public sale, use and consumption within the United States. China is the worlds greatest producer and the United States is the #1 importer of hemp and hemp products in the world. HB1888 now moves on to the full Washington state senate where it will first be assigned to a committee for consideration before the full senate has an opportunity to send the bill to Gov. Jay Inslee for a signature. ACTION ITEMS For Washington State Residents: Take action today to help pass HB1888 by clicking HERE.

2	BREAKING: This Case May Be Open Again After Investigators Found THIS On His Old Property OJ Simpson is an infamous American. Once he was an American herothe Juice was a tremendous athlete at USC and a great running back for the Buffalo Bills of the NFL. He was good looking, and after retirement, he starred in movies. People loved him. Then, in 1994 he was indicted for the grisly murder of his wife Nicole and her friend. While the public widely believed he was guilty, the climate of racial turmoil and hatred toward police officersespecially in the Los Angeles areait is thought led to his acquittal. Still, to this day people believe that OJ Simpson was undoubtedly guilty. And now, a new piece of evidence has come to light more than 20 years later that might finally vindicate the families of the victims. This man, who almost published the book If I Did It, This Is How I Would Heave Done IT, is about to receive his comeuppance. Currently, OJ Simpsons is in prison for a 2007 robbery. In the prison, he is suffering from a knee injury that has forced him into a wheelchair. He has also ballooned to 340 pounds. Recently, a knife was discovered buried on the OJ estate, and currently that knife is being DNA tested. Investigators believe that this might be the piece of evidence that makes this cold case hot again, and may result in the prison bound OJ Simpson being convicted for a vicious murder he likely committed over 2 decades ago. 
3	Mainstream Media Blackout: Maine Second State to Pass GMO Labeling LawMelissa Melton Do a basic news engine search and youll see that no mainstream media outlets have reported anything on this story. In fact, at the time of writing this, the most I could find was Washington Post Blog and Grist (with a ridiculously biased title). No MSNBC. No CNN. No ABC. No other major news outlets are touching this story. Why? Connecticut became the first state to sign a law requiring that foods be labeled if they contain genetically modified ingredients back in December, as reported by Russia Today: Thats right. These laws come with some pretty big caveats. Even though two states have signed on, they still need three more, and all states involved must be A) Northeastern states with B) a combined total of 20 million people living in them for the law to be official. Connecticut and Maine have a combined population of about only five million. This seems like a lot of unnecessary obstacles to pass a law the people who live in these states obviously want, doesnt it? As the Kennebec Journal points out: Yep. Thats right. States arent going at it alone because apparently they are scared of being sued by Monsanto. Also, knowing what is in your food is apparently somehow unconstitutional. To be fair, Monsanto did threaten to sue the state of Vermont back in spring 2012 over even thinking about passing a GMO labeling bill. So, I guess that means Monsanto and mega food companies are now running the show and making all the rules, Im sorry, laws, and those laws (or lack thereof) say you dont get to know whats in your food. (In other news, a leaked memo from the Grocery Manufacturers Associations chief lobbyist shows GMO labeling opponents dont want any states to have labeling laws because GMO labeling misinforms consumers, but they are stumping for a totally worthless voluntary federal GMO labeling law that would preempt any states from passing a real labeling lawever.) Melissa Melton is a writer, researcher, and analyst for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared, and a co-creator of Truthstream Media. Wake the flock up! 
2	Yale Opens Islamic Law Center For Sharia Law Study What happens when a radical Islamist donates to a top Ivy League school? Apparently, theyre granted a new curriculum to help push their radical beliefs and dangerous political agenda. Were not making this upit just happened. According to reports, a donation to Yale University made by Saudi banker Saleh Abdullah Kamel to help support an Islamic Law Center has just been called into question. Kamel is believed to have ties to Osama Bin Laden through a group called Dallah Al Baraka, a group where he holds the position of CEO. The group has repeatedly been investigated by the United States for funding Al-Qaeda, and now theyre attempting to have an impact on the way we educate our children. Mr. Kamels extraordinary generosity will open up exciting new opportunities for Yale Law School and for the entire university, Yale President Peter Salovey told reporters. Now, the donation is being investigated after it was revealed that in the 1998 New York City trials, Al-Qaeda members testified that Kamels bank had relocated thousands of dollars to help them buy an aircraft. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? Should Yale be banned from accepting the donation? 
3	Connecticut Lawmakers Vote to Label GMO Foodsselfnews Post There is mounting scientific evidence showing that genetically modified foods are harmful to our health, said Senate President Donald E. Williams (D-Brooklyn). Theres an increasing avalanche of public support (for labeling GMOs). The original legislation would have made GMO labeling mandatory in Connecticut by 2016, but a compromise was made this week to add a trigger to the law requiring other states participation. The trigger amendment states the law will go into effect when: In other words, either four other states or another state with the equivalent of 20 million citizens must adopt similar legislation to trigger labeling in Connecticut. The reasoning for the trigger is that it may be unfeasible to demand food labeling only for Connecticuts 3.5 million residents. Connecticut will be the first state in the nation to pass a GMO labeling law and this sets the stage for other states to join the growing movement to give consumers more choices. As a small state, Connecticut couldnt go it alone this compromise strikes the right balance, saidSpeaker of the House Brendan Sharkey (D-Hamden). Even with these amendments many lawmakers are calling the bipartisan bill a bold first step. This is a great day that we in Connecticut can lead the way on helping moms and dads across Connecticut, but I believe this can catch on across the nation, so that they can be informed and make informed choices when they buy foods,saidSenate Minority Leader John McKinney (R-Fairfield). This law doesnt ban, or restrict, or tax anything. It simply lets moms and dads know whats in the food theyre buying for their children, said McKinney. Im pleased Connecticut is a pioneer in passing this common sense legislation. I urge Washington follow our lead. Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy was directly involved in the negotiations indicating his intention to sign the bill which would make it the first state in the nation to pass GMO labeling laws. This bill strikes an important balance by ensuring the consumers right to know what is in their food while shielding our small businesses from liability that could leave them at a competitive disadvantage, said Governor Malloy in a press release. This past fall, California voters narrowly voted down Prop 37 to label GMO foods on election day. Many attribute the loss to a $50 million anti-labeling campaign by GMO giants like Monsanto and other big food companies. Another New England state, Vermont, also passed a bill to label genetically modified foods in their state House. However, the bill in Vermont has stalled in the Senate. Maine also has pending GMO labeling legislation. Currently sixty-four nations including China, South Africa, and all countries in the European Union require GM foods to be labeled. Yet all attempts to label genetically engineered food at the federal level in the U.S. have so far failed. Most recently an amendment to the current farm bill sponsored by Bernie Sanders (I-VT) that would have required GMO labeling was defeated in the U.S. Senate by a vote of27-71. Connecticuts bill may be the first to become law having already unanimously passed the state senate 34-0 on Saturday, with the House expected to approve it and the Governor eager to sign it.

1	In an apparent attempt to raise his morale and that of his team, Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress released a statement Monday saying that his own personal 6'5' height was superior to that of the New England Patriots. 'I have successfully out-stood every other player in the league when it comes to tallness,' Burress' statement read in part. 'That is a fact. And I get taller when I raise my arms, and taller again when I jump. The Pats are good, but there is nothing they can do about me in the department of being full-grown.' Patriots linebacker Junior Seau responded to Burress' statement by saying that, while Burress was a very tall player indeed and had displayed great height in the past, it remained to be seen whether he was taller than the Patriots defense when they were playing well. 
1	The hundreds of hours of game and practice scouting videotapes that league officials seized from the New England Patriots also include over 100 hours of painstakingly thorough footage of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the shower, sources within the NFL competition committee confirmed Tuesday. 'We are still investigating whether the assembled shower footage of Brady soaped up and wreathed in steamwhich I can personally confirm was in fact taken in the showers of several different NFL-affiliated facilities around the league, and appears to have been shot by head coach Belichick himselfconstitutes a violation of league laws or policies,' league spokesman Greg Aiello told reporters during a press conference held at the league's Manhattan offices. 'It is the opinion of the commissioner and the league that further extensive study is required before any judgment can be rendered in this matter.' 'Our investigation continues to focus on any instances of cheating by the New England Patriots, and will continue to focus on cheating no matter how much Brady showering footage we find,' Aiello added. Aiello then displayed a 25-minute composite videotape consisting of representative segments and 'highlights' of Brady in the shower. Analysts agree that the bulk of the shower footage, while certainly unusual in many aspects, seems to have been shot with Brady's full knowledge and cooperation, although Brady does not appear especially enthusiastic. Early footage is also said to include showering quarterback Drew Bledsoe, then the Patriots starting quarterback, and at least 25 minutes of the earliest-known material was evidently shot in the showers at the University of Michigan as Brady was being scouted for the draft. 'Belichick has always been a big believer in spending as much time as possible on film study,' said Boston Globe football writer Bill Ryan, who as a regular Patriots reporter was given the opportunity to view outtakes from several of the Brady shower tapes, notably those labeled 'Super Bowl XXXVI,' 'Camp 2002/Skeleton Drills,' and 'Tuck Rule' before being thoroughly questioned by league officials. 'But I didn't know he'd shot so much of it himself. His intensity about it can be kind of frightening.' 'To hear Belichick narrating the whole thing, pointing out his quarterback's tendencies, identifying Brady's strong points and the areas where he needs work, hearing his voice as a counterpoint to the sound of the hot running water and seeing that familiar sweatshirt-clad arm cut through the mist to hand Brady his towelsyou realize the man has a unique football mind,' said Sports Illustrated football correspondent Paul Zimmerman. 'If nothing else, the attention to every significant detail definitely makes an impression on the viewer.' Although officials have not divulged whether other Patriots players or even quarterbacks from other teams were featured in their own showering videotapes, Aiello confirmed that the investigation was by no means complete and the total inventory may take weeks to assemble. 'We confiscated thousands of these tapes from the Patriots coaching staff,' Aiello told reporters, 'and hundreds more tapes showing nothing but opposing teams sending in offensive and defensive signals. It may be some time before we have a complete catalog of what's on them. I can confirm, however, that we will be questioning Mr. Brady at length about his experiences regarding showering and video cameras, and communicating daily with Coach Belichick and team owner Robert Kraft concerning any and all videotaped footage of NFL players, specifically Tom Brady, in the shower. You have my word on that.' Neither Belichick nor Brady would comment on the investigation. The New England Patriots organization did not respond to requests for information, but released a statement Wednesday morning confirming that the league had compensated the team and coach for $750,000 in exchange for the videotapes in question. 
2	FBI Moves To Put Hillary Away For 10 Years... Her Career Is Officially Over Hillary Clinton has been under legal fire ever since her private email server was discovered. Latest reports reveal that the former Secretary of State knowingly handled classified information on her private email, despite her many claims to the contrary. According to a recent report from Fox News, the FBI is currently investigating Clinton for violations of the Espionage Act surrounding gross negligence and impeding an investigation. That could mean that Clinton could be held accountable, even if she feigns ignorance. According to 18 USC 793 of the Espionage Act, information does not even need to be classified to count as an offense. Failing to conduct in accordance with the act or to report any loss of information could carry a charge of 10 years in prison. What do you think? Will Hillary end up behind bars? 
3	Corporate News Shows Kids Raised on Farms Live Better, Greater ImmunityHeather Callaghan Children who grow up on the farm are generally healthier due to exposure to animals and other aspects of farm life, but also experience a significantly lower amount of sickness, allergies and hay fever. What isnt focused on in the video is their diet namely, the 99% chance the family pictured consumes raw milk and non-GMO foods. At least theWeston A. Price Facebook page was sure when they posted this video and said [Because] They drink raw milk! In 2011, a well-circulated European study that sampled immunoglobulin E (IgE) from over 7,500 children found that children drinking raw milk are 41% less likely to have asthma and allergies. Wouldnt that seem to align with the statistics in the video? One of the biggest reasons mothers switch their families to raw milk is due to their childrens food allergies and asthma a health problem that takes 5,000 lives each year in the US. Have you wanted to transition into the farm life? The benefits go way beyond healthy eats and extend into the health benefits of theactual process of farming, gardening, and working with animals. So even if a beginner experiments and doesnt see a profit or big grocery savings, they improved their health in more than one way. More and more, the people around me are treading the gardening-livestock process. Some prefer to stick with gardening/aquaponics and canning, while others start with some chickens and go on to have goats, perhaps some pigs and a cow. A local experimental pig farmer told me it was surprisingly easy to raise pigs easier than chickens! He runs one hot wire around as a pen, lets them forage, and throws food in not donuts and candy he told me. One pig raised for six months supplies his family of four with meat up to twice a day for a year they will not purchase pork or often other meats from any grocery. Even if you dont have land, families with pets fare better for a few reasons. Companionship, therapeutic love, but also shared immunity. Plus, many local farms open up their land for visitors all the time you can visit with happy animals, volunteer, see how it runs, and eat homegrown. This also makes for a great homeschooling field trip. Help find your farm at Localharvest.org or by contacting a Weston A. Price local chapter leader. Read other articles by Heather Callaghan Here 
2	VIDEO: See Which Texan Just Rejected Obamas Handshake According to recent reports, Rick Perry, Texas Governor, has refused Obamas offer to shake hands when he arrives in Austin today. I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, Perry wrote in a letter to Obama, according to reports. I would instead offer to meet with you at any time during your visit to Texas for a substantive meeting to discuss this critical issue. Perry, of course, is referencing the record number of illegal immigrant children who have been crossing the border in the past few months, after rumors spread that they would be allowed to stay. This is not the first time Perry has publicly criticized Obama and the administration for their lack of action. I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from, he told ABCs This Week. 
3	UN Fracking Scheme Justified in Propaganda Study by US GovernmentSusanne Posel, Contributor The NRC is comprised of four branches: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council. Collectively, they produce intelligence that influences policy development, coerces public opinion, and controls the directional advances of science, medicine, and engineering. Founded by Congressional Charter, the NRC members are scientists, physicians, researchers and Nobel laureates. Their funding comes from foundations, state governments, the private sector, and philanthropy; although their activities are mandated by the federal government. The NRC admits that fracking causes earthquakes, yet claims that it is still a low risk. They blame carbon capture for inducing seismic events, although there is insufficient scientific data to make such a claim. The explanation the NRC provides is that the injection of wastewater underground causes earthquakes that can be felt by people above ground. The NRC says that the total balance of fluid introduced or removed underground determines whether or not earthquakes occur. The US government has not recorded any significant loss of life due to fracking, while they acknowledge that some effects have been felt by local residents and have raised concern about additional seismic activity and its consequences where the US government is conducting energy development. In an attempt to shift public focus from the practice of fracking, and alter social opinion, the authors of the report praise fracking as being the best practices designed to maintain balance and support the industrys use of this dangerous way of extracting gas from the Earth. In Europe, Benny Peiser of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWF), an alarmist think-tank that purveys the lie of man-made climate change, describes fracking as a clean energy source. The GWF, working with the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)dating back to the Copenhagen Climate Summit in 2009, claims to be open-minded on the contested science of global warming and deeply concerned about the costs and other implications of many of the policies being advocated by the global warming theorists. However, the GWF are funded by private sector individuals and charitable trusts that control the course the foundation takes. The GWF does not have an official view on the science of global warming. They collaborate with the IPCC to analyze global warming policies, economic impact and other implications. A true globalist think-tank. True scientific and observational data concludes that fracking leads to damage to the local environment through contamination, and negatively impacts Earths biosphere. The Tyndall Centre, a collaborative of globalist alarmists working with the research and scientific community to advise business leaders, policy advisors and influence the mainstream media and public in general, has revealed through analysis that fracking chemical mixtures are known and suspected carcinogens that are not only toxic but mutagenic. When the chemicals return to the surface after injection, they carry with them heavy metals, radioactive materials and methane gas. Ground water and aquifers are damaged by fracking, and those effects are impossible to reverse. In another study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the current method of carbon capture by storing the gas underground is directly causational to earthquakes. The IPCC is responsible for the use of fracking as a pollution control to move away from coal-based electrical power. Mark Zobacka and Steven Gorelick, professors in the departments of Geophysics and Environmental Earth System Science at Stanford University, surmise that earthquakes will be triggered by injection of large volumes of CO2 and calls large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) a risky and likely unsuccessful strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The IPCC would like to see CCS preformed on a global scale, asserting the practice would eliminate 3.5 billion tons of CO2 annually. However, the study admonishes: Before embarking on projects to inject enormous volumes of CO2 at numerous sites around the world, it is important to note that over time periods of just a few decades, modern seismic networks have shown that earthquakes occur nearly everywhere in continental interiors. Fracking is a scheme concocted by the UNs IPCC as their replacement of coal usage and reduction of CO2 that is causing undeniable environmental damage, cancer risks to public health and detrimental seismic activity. If allowed to continue, this practice will produce massive casualties and irreversible damage to the Earth at the hands of the global Elites at the UN.

2	BREAKING: Deadly Virus Spreading Like Wildfire, Share This With Everyone You Can [SEE SYMPTOMS] On Monday, Florida confirmed that homegrown cases of Zika in people infected by local mosquitoes. Now, federal health officials are advising women who are pregnant to avoid the area just north of downtown Miami where Zika is spreading. Women who have visited the Wynwood neighborhood in Miami since June 15 should avoid getting pregnant for at least eight weeks, the Centers for Disease Control and Convention have said. Zika has started spreading among mosquitoes in that area. CDC officials have said this is the first time the federal health agency has warned people to avoid a community in the continental U.S., agency spokesman Tom Skinner said. The CDC is sending an emergency response team to the state to help control the outbreak. Two CDC staff are already there working, and six more are planning to join them. A new Zika case in Miami brings the number of Zika infections spread locally, as opposed to foreign travel, the 14. We dont have ideal ways to control the mosquitoes that control Zika, CDC director Tom Frieden told reporters. In Miami, aggressive mosquito control measures dont seem to be working as well as we would have liked. Frieden stressed the importance of women taking steps to prevent mosquito bites. Mosquitoes that carry the virus live in 30 states. Nearly 20% of the 1,658 cases in the continental U.S. and Hawaii have been diagnosed with Zika have been in Florida. The CDC has also warned pregnant women to avoid places with ongoing Zika outbreaks, including Puerto Rico. Now, health experts claim they cant remember the last time that a federal agency told people to avoid a community in the U.S. because of an outbreak. Please share this information with your friends and family. 
3	Guatemala Rejects U.S. Trade Law Protecting Monsanto and GMOsselfnews Post The people of Guatemala caught on to the deceptive nature of a U.S. Trade Agreement with Central America which was marketed as a way to modernize them. It also pretends to protect new seed varieties and paints the seed bearers in need of protection as small farmers. It is actually a way for big biotech and seed companies like Monsanto, DuPont, Duwest, Syngenta, etc. to assume power and immunity as owners of their food supply. Guatemala is calling it Monsanto Law. It does bear resemblance to the Monsanto Protection Act which was a rider slipped into a U.S. financial bill last year, now considered dead. From TechDirt: The new law was brought in as part of the process of complying with the 2005 CAFTA-DR free trade agreement between Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and the US. Under its terms, signatories are obliged to sign up to the International Convention for the Protection of New Plant Varieties exactly the same one that was being foisted on Africa last year. However, as bilaterals.org reports, despite that obligation, there is mounting resistance to handing over the countrys seed sovereignty in this way: The growing opposition to the Monsanto Law comes from diverse sectors of civil society such as indigenous organizations, environmental groups, scientists, artists and members of Congress. Artists and television celebrities have joined an online signature campaign to reject the law. Their petition is addressed to the President, Otto Perez Molina, via the Avaaz website, and argues that the law is unconstitutional. This law violates articles of the Constitution relating to the Protection of Individuals, Cultural Identity, Natural Heritage, Right to Health, the principles of the Economic and Social Regime, in addition to the obligation of the state to protect consumers, the petition states. On 10 June, the Congress of Guatemala approved Decree 19-2014 or the Law for the Protection of New Plant Varieties which led to an outpouring of criticism from various sectors of civil society. This law, published on 26 June, protects the intellectual property of plant breeders deemed to have created or discovered new plant varieties, or genetically modified existing ones. This way, the beneficiaries of the law breeders, which are typically companies producing transgenic seeds like the transnational corporation Monsanto obtain property rights over the use of such varieties, in the form of plants or seeds. If that isnt enough, according to the Rural Studies Collective (Cer-Ixim) the implications of this law are harsh and dire (but not too surprising, considering Monsantos treatment of farmers in the U.S.). It will be illegal and punishable by imprisonment if farmers do the following: Do you realize that biotech seed companies own their spreading damage through patents and protection under laws such as these? Their damage to the farmer and inevitable contamination becomes their property, and then some, with litigation. Add to that the imprisonment of the afflicted party and they dont just own all the seed and food, but the farmers too. Guatemalan groups are seeing the full implications of this trade and reject it for its unconstitutionality, a loss of biodiversity for foreign interests and the lack of consent. RT reports: The highest court in Guatemala has suspended the controversial Monsanto Law, a provision of a US-Central American trade agreement, that would insulate transnational seed corporations considered to have discovered new plant varieties. The Constitutional Court suspended on Friday the law passed in June and due to go into effect on Sept. 26 after a writ of amparo was filed by the Guatemalan Union, Indigenous and Peasant Movement, which argued the law would harm the nation, LaVoz reported. The Courts decision came after several Guatemalan parliamentarians from both the governing Patriotic Party and the opposition party Renewed Democratic Freedom said they would consider repealing the law after outcry from a diverse cross-section of Guatemalans.

He clearly cut his head out from another photo and put it over a players body, and it looks like he just made the whole thing with text boxes on Microsoft Word, said Cohn, adding that the double-sided, full-color printout portrayed Kurkjian as a shortstop for the New York Yankees with 260 home runs and a .277 batting average. He copy and pasted the Topps logo on the back, and he even included this little bio that talks about his off-field hobbies and refers to him as a true five-tool player. Im going to do him a favor and just toss this before anyone else sees it. At press time, Kurkjian was anxiously walking around the ESPN offices and asking if anyone had picked up anything of his with their printouts by mistake. 
1	Just days after the launch of SURI-II, whose state-of-the-art instruments are expected to provide the first-ever infrared images of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' infant daughter, a report published by NASA revealed that nearly half of all communications and reconnaissance satellites currently in orbit are engaged in collecting and transmitting data relating to the child-rearing practices of Hollywood stars. According to Monday's report, the SURI-II is one of 73 celebrity-surveying satellites currently deployed by the U.S. and assigned a variety of tasks including analyzing the rising levels of hostility between new mother Britney Spears and husband Kevin Federline, calculating the long-term effects of Julia Roberts' decision to bottle-feed her twins, and tracking the ever-changing whereabouts of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. 'In the 15 years since the first crude orbital crafts were launched to monitor Demi Moore's second pregnancy, fame-monitoring satellites have proven invaluable in our pursuit to better understand the star-studded world around us,' New York Post Page Six columnist Richard Johnson said. 'Were it not for the highly detailed information these satellites transmit back to Earth, celebrity researchers today would be unable to explain the origins of the adorable outfits Brooke Shields picks up for Rowan.' Outfitted with sensitive spectrometers that measure pregnant Academy Awardwinners' mean glow-radiance (MGR) and equipped with advanced imaging and optoelectronic devices capable of detecting possible 'baby bumps' from 13,000 miles above the earth's surface, satellites like the InTouch IV have allowed researchers to literally observe a distant star's baby being born. American Media editorial director Bonnie Fuller credited her company's own fleet of geosynchronous satellites with enhancing the accuracy of reporting by its publications, which include The National Enquirer and Star. 'Many Americans today take for granted the ease with which they are able to access the latest celebrity childbirth figures,' Fuller said. 'It was not too long ago that one had to wait until a celebrity mom attended a film premiere or passed by an open window to know exactly how she was handling her post-partum weight. Now, thanks to the miracle of science, we can identify the exact cravings Gwen Stefani experienced during her pregnancy.' Yet not all satellite-based celebrity-fact-gathering technology has been foolproof. In early 2004, the launch of a satellite intended to provide precise measurements of Kate Hudson's expelled placenta proved disastrous when its equipment inexplicably began tracking Andy Dick's erratic workout routine instead. A more recent satellite malfunction in January likewise produced erroneous data that pop superstar Madonna was pregnant with 238.4 children. 'There have been setbacks, yes, but compared to the amazing strides we've made in such a short period, it's a small price to pay,' said Us Weekly West Coast editor Ken Baker, who added that high-resolution photographs, like those recently taken of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas as they played Chutes And Ladders with their two children in the den of their Malibu home, were 'inconceivable' just five years ago. 'We're confident that satellite technology will one day unlock some of the universe's oldest and most baffling secrets, such as how Gwyneth Paltrow juggles two kids and a thriving film career, yet still manages to look fresh and luminous in her Este Lauder ads.' Still, most satellites are still dedicated to more conventional uses, including the forecasting of movie-star fashion trends, telecommunications between famous models, and military surveillance of potential threats to national security, most notably actor Sean Penn. 
3	High-Speed Scripted ISIS Show Morphs Into Awkward Potential WW3 Trigger ScenarioBy Bernie Suarez By the end of 2014 many of us started wondering how this high-speed ISIS psyop show might end given the speed at which it was moving. Back then, as soon as alternative media and independent investigators uncovered one thing about ISIS another psyop was being put out. At times it seemed like no one could keep up with the staged stories. Throughout human history its hard to imagine a faster moving PR campaign where the organization went from completely unknown to the most talked about entity possibly in media history, all of it almost overnight. And here we are in late 2015, over a year since the show began and we are all witnessing in Syria what could morph into an ugly World War 3 scenario as Russia steps up as a true opposition to ISIS in Syria. Did Russia, like many of us, get sick of watching the ISIS show and watching Western media lie every day about their role? Perhaps the Russians are frustrated because they thought they had blown the roof off of the ISIS psyop once and for all when they put out the video proof of the fake beheading production video. Regardless of the reason, the situation is now real and a real reason for everyone to be particularly watchful for more blatant ISIS lies exposed to the world in real-time. With Russia leading the way to impose a real blow to the U.S.-Israeli led ISIS proxy army, Obama, Kerry and the rest of the U.S. politicians are scrambling for words and new angles to approach this from. Desperate to justify U.S. presence in Syria, now all we are hearing about from U.S. officials is the at least partially fake Syrian refugee crisis all while quietly admitting they want a regime change in Syria. The truth is coming out slowly only because the U.S. has no choice but to keep saying something, anything that they hope will help keep their out-of-control war machine. The problem for the U.S. is that there is nothing they can say to justify their actions in Syria. That is, their quiet support for ISIS who they created, funded, armed and have supported along with Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other NATO countries. What all of this amounts to is that the Western U.S.-Israeli globalist elite could soon have their backs against the wall. However, unlike the days of the Mujahideen training and radicalization of terrorist fighters in Afghanistan and unlike the Iran-Contra arming of Iranian terrorist in the mid 80s or the arming of Saddam in Iraq, all of which were for the same long-term (PNAC plan) reasons, this time they (the U.S.) openly have denied supporting, arming, feeding, funding or creating ISIS. Thus, this time the globalist lies are wide open for the world to see. That means the international community including the Russia, China and the rest of the world are seeing for themselves the true colors of this ruthless, aggressive and oppressive Western cabal. Thanks to the failed ISIS psyop the world will continue to process this growing awareness that it (the rest of the world) is oppressed by an out-of-control tyrannical empire that regularly flexes its power and military might on humanity in the name of fighting terrorism. With the ISIS psyop now being slowly chipped away at with every Russian bomb, missile and air strike, the future of the world is being decided. Will this anger the Western cabal forcing them to play a new card? Will it make the Westerners desperate? Will this soon trigger WW3? The not-so-brilliant idea of creating yet another terror organization in the post war on terror era to use as a tool to advance their PNAC plans was met with a few things the globalists may not have anticipated. It appears they underestimated the power of independent media and the Internet. They seem to have underestimated how information travels today and is shared by others. They seem to have only focused on their ISIS promotion campaign not ever thinking the plan might backfire and be exposed. The ISIS show was hatched as a marketing and public relations campaign from the get-go. ISIS has had more attention and airtime than some of the most powerful multinational corporations in the world. As Ive mentioned in previous articles, the ISIS show has been truly a superstar-caliber master marketing campaign beyond any marketing campaign weve seen before for any entity. Is there anything ISIS has not done since the spring-summer of 2014? Think about the exponential growth of the ISIS brand. Close your eyes and step back from the whole picture and realize the magnitude of the psychological operation. The brand has been pushed into every aspect of life. ISIS has been mentioned in light of almost every other topic. ISIS and global warming, ISIS and LGBT, ISIS and college student recruitment, ISIS and conspiracy theorists, ISIS and babies, ISIS and Christians, ISIS and women, ISIS has taken turns killing every group and label out there and every time they did it the mainstream media was right there to tell you all about it. The U.S. mainstream media and the reports obtained from Intelligence sources and mainstream media seem to always know what ISIS is thinking, what they are doing, where they are, where they are going next, what they want to accomplish, how they are feeling, we have even been fed Commander injury reports on ISIS! We are told everything about ISIS except the main questions everyone has been asking from day one How did ISIS come about? Why cant anyone track their conversations, communications, general supplies, food, water, ammunition supply, and why so much trouble pinpointing their location? How about why do they still exist? How are they supposedly fighting all the NATO countries and as small as they are, how are they still somehow winning? The headache-inducing ISIS show is too painful to watch and now Russia seeks to put an end to this headache. Lets all hope that something good comes out of this. Lets hope that more leaders around the world join in to help turn off the ISIS psyop and deny the Western globalist terrorists anything they want. On a personal level lets all prepare for the worst. Lets be ready in every way possible. Prepare for what the globalists have been saying for many years could be a continuity of government scenario as we approach a potential monetary collapse in addition to a WW3 scenario. Realize that these global territory battles are coveted by greedy evil men of power who hate you and I and they will destroy the world if they have to, to have a chance at power over the world. No one knows how this battle to flush out the ISIS show will end so lets pay particularly close attention over the coming weeks and months. Do what you can to help others who are awakened prepare but dont waste too much time on the asleep zombies who refuse to believe anything is wrong. Show them the truth and move on. Very likely they will tune you out as this information conflicts with their personal comfortable paradigms. Do not underestimate the power of this self-constructed personal comfortable paradigm. To those living in that comfortable matrix paradigm theres a good movie coming on tonight, its NFL football season, Fantasy Football is getting really interesting, theyre ordering pizza tonight, their favorite TV show is on tonight or they might have tickets to the game tonight. Does any of this sound compatible with the ISIS WW3 reality stated above? Humanity is being divided along the grounds of consciousness, knowledge, understanding, awareness and true wisdom. Many people are pulling toward conscious awareness and wisdom while many are being stripped of any true consciousness or the ability to ever think critically again. This consciousness and awareness sifting I believe is giving birth to two survival classes of humans those who will survive and those who will not. The ones who will not survive are loading up their bodies with deadly vaccine toxins, eating deadly gene-altering GMO food and absorbing numerous toxins in addition to daily brainwashing and electromagnetic exposure and thought programming. In case you still believe these ensnared zombies have a chance of awakening (and some still do) dont get too hopeful about this. The time is late, the mass mind control and DNA altering experiment is in a very late phase, and the mechanisms of this mind control are very penetrated by now. So dont give up on them but dont hold your breath either. Instead lets commit to improving ourselves today. And among other things, that means improving our knowledge and understanding about the world around us. Lets acknowledge what is happening and lets hope for the best. Most importantly lets be vigilant and aware of what is happening so that whatever happens we can be vessels for humanitys cause. Those of us who are awakened are awakened for a reason, arent we? We have to believe in something and I believe its all for a reason, even if I (we) cant figure it all out just yet. So lets commit to fulfilling our purpose knowing that as long as we do that, the rest will happen according to the order of nature. Some things, perhaps we ultimately cant fully control, at least not immediately. But we can do the little things that push humanity in the right direction. This may be all we can do. If so, then Im accepting of this. Are you? Bernie is a revolutionary writer with a background in medicine, psychology, and information technology. He has written numerous articles over the years about freedom, government corruption and conspiracies, and solutions. A former host of the 9/11 Freefall radio show, Bernie is also the creator of the Truth and Art TV project where he shares articles and videos about issues that raise our consciousness and offer solutions to our current problems. His efforts are designed to encourage others to joyfully stand for truth, to expose government tactics of propaganda, fear and deception, and to address the psychology of dealing with the rising new world order. He is also a former U.S. Marine who believes it is our duty to stand for and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. A peace activist, he believes information and awareness is the first step toward being free from enslavement from the globalist control system which now threatens humanity. He believes love conquers all fear and it is up to each and every one of us to manifest the solutions and the change that you want to see in this world, because doing this is the very thing that will ensure victory and restoration of the human race from the rising global enslavement system, and will offer hope to future generations. If the goal is for the ISIS threat to metastasize around the globe, as a predictive programming report by an Establishment-connected private intel orgnanization released early on in the Syria conflict foretold (quoting a high ranking US official), then this new development of is right on schedule. This follows on the heels of the refugee crisis in which we are told among the hundreds of thousands of refugees being relocated to Europe and the US there are most likely ISIS extremists. A routing in Syria will drive even more ISIS jihadists to flee to other countries, and at least one US official tells us there is no way to stop them and many will go back to the western countries they came from and instigate more terror attacks. The problem, reaction, solution aspect would be a global military battle to contain ISIS, but not eradicate the new international intelligence created boogeyman. Among other goals, its the next step toward a global military and police force. There is much to learn from neurolinguistic analyses of the MSM. Violence is always wrong and we should not be indifferent to even engineered hostilities. For once, though, can we not be so vulnerable to constant fear-based control theatrics and stand our ground? Let TPTB be the first ones to blink. It does happen. And then what are the elites going to do if a critical number of us figure out exactly what their game is? The last thing they want is for us to lose our fear. Thisis the voiceof the Mysterons. After WW III is over, and the history books on the subject is written, no mention in them that this war was a bankers war from the get go. Mark 13:33 
1	A new study published in The Journal Of Pediatric Medicine found that a shocking 98 percent of all infants suffer from bipolar disorder. 'The majority of our subjects, regardless of size, sex, or race, exhibited extreme mood swings, often crying one minute and then giggling playfully the next,' the study's author Dr. Steven Gregory told reporters. 'Additionally we found that most babies had trouble concentrating during the day, often struggled to sleep at night, and could not be counted on to take care of themselvesall classic symptoms of manic depression.' Gregory added that nearly 100 percent of infants appear to suffer from the poor motor skills and impaired speech associated with Parkinson's disease. 
1	In the wake of yesterdays gruesome mass shooting that claimed the lives of 27 people, including 20 schoolchildren, the United States ratified a new constitutional amendment this afternoon guaranteeing American citizens the right to live life in a perpetual state of abject horror. The provisions of the 28th Amendment will fully protect the right of all individuals to spend every waking moment utterly terrified at the thought of a deranged stranger with a semiautomatic combat rifle gunning them down, said House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), explaining that the measure also permits Americans to suffer panic attacks anytime their loved ones go to work, school, malls, or virtually any other public location. In addition, the new amendment prevents the government from ever infringing on a citizens inalienable right to lie awake at night visualizing the images of crying children being ushered out of a school and wondering where it could happen next. The new amendment comes on the heels of numerous other proposed changes to U.S. law, including a highly contested bill that would protect the right of Americans to ignore a widespread, deadly problem until it is far too late. 
2	BREAKING: ISIS Just Threatened President Obama And America In THIS New Video Well, were sad to say that this comes as no surprise. Yet another beheading video has been released from ISIS. This time, the video contains a direct threat against President Obama and America. Know, oh Obama, that we will reach America, claims one of the fighters, in all black and wearing a balaclava. Know also that we will cut off your head in the White House, and transform American into a Muslim Province. After the chilling threat, the terrorists turn their attention toward Europe. And this is my message to France and to its sister, Belgium, the masked man continues. We advise you that we will come to you with car bombs and explosive charges, and will cut off your heads. Do you think the White House needs to take this threat seriously? Is it time for Obama to take a stand once and for all? 
2	After The Police Officer Was Pronounced Dead These Christian Doctors Prayed To God. His Response On December 27th, Police Officer Ken Kirby was putting away Christmas decorations with his family when he began feeling nauseous and experienced a strong pain in his chest and arm. As he recalls it I remember the tightness in my chest and the pain in my arms that started in my left arm, mostly in the triceps area. It was unreal; its nothing Id ever felt before. Ken was experiencing a heart attack. As his wife called the paramedics and rushed him to the hospital, Ken went into cardiac arrest and flatlined before the doctors could successfully combat the heart attack. The doctors exited the operating room to inform the already-grieving family that despite their best efforts, Ken had been pronounced dead. However, when all of their medical efforts couldnt save Kens live, the medical team resorted to putting this mans life into the hands of God. And sure enough, to the amazement of everyone in the hospital, a small pulse began to return. Doctors remained calm enough to perform surgery on Kens artery, which had a 93% blockage. Ken came back from the dead, and returned to his family whom he is still with today. Never underestimate the power of prayer! 
3	Cant buy groceries? DHS goes on another munitions spree with your moneyJames Smith Sadly, Patriots are considered terrorists by this government. So the government stockpiles more and more ammunition. In the last week alone, nearly 700 million dollars has been allocated for the purchase of firearms and ammunition by a variety of agencies within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) This week, ICE has solicited for the purchase of 12 Gauge 00 Buck Reduced Recoil shotgun rounds, made by the Federal Cartridge Corporation. Typically, in a solicitation, a set quantity is established. But in an effort similar to the TSAs request for over $950,000,000 in explosive storage lockers, only an upper limit dollar amount is provided. In this case, $524,043.20 has been allocated. At the estimated cost at the first link, that results in approximately 403,110 rounds. If they purchased the same rounds at their local Wal-Mart, then the cost would drop to approximately 26 cents a round or 2,015,550 rounds. But knowing government waste, theyll probably pay 2 bucks a round and call it a savings. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) This week, CBP has requested the purchase of 287 Remington 870 shotguns to augment their armories. According to supporting documentation, only 125 shotguns are being requested. This is either a scriveners error, or is intentional. The total dollar amount is $159,698.75 In September 2009, 200 shotguns were solicited for, but were cancelled the next day. In May 2010, 170 shotguns were purchased in a sole-source solicitation. No dollar amount was posted with this solicitation. In August 2011, they purchased 36 shotguns and paid $23,286.24. In the same month, they purchased 700 Remington sniper rifles for training. Click on image below for the source document. The cost of this ammunition ranges from 40 to 48 cents apiece, meaning that on average, CBP is looking to spend over $14,000. Related links: At some point, this must all be explained. Because of the lack of explanation, theories abound. According to Saul Alinskys Rules for Radicals It seems this administration is living up to the Collectivist ideology.

1	Area bluesman Willie 'Skipbone' Johnson announced plans late Saturday to extend his rendition of the Robert Johnson standard 'Dust My Broom' by an additional 12 bars before recapitulating the chorus and bringing it on home. Blues legend Willie 'Skipbone' Johnson, seen here performing on Chicago's South Side. In a surprise mid-song delay Saturday night, Johnson opted to keep it going before bringing it on home. 'We going to keep this thing going,' said the Mississippi-born Johnson, 63, officially announcing the delay to an estimated crowd of 250 at Buddy Guy's Legends blues club. Johnson's mojo is widely believed to have been working at the time. Johnson's backup players, bassist Luther Stubbs and drummer Sonny 'Mudcat' Vinson, were the first to be informed of the delay. According to Stubbs, upon the completion of the song's third verse, Johnson gave each of them a sly grin and slight head nod, indicating his desire to keep it going all night long. The stinging 12-bar guitar solo that comprised the delay was the last in a series of extensions to 'Dust My Broom,' leaving some in attendance wondering how long Johnson, Stubbs and Vinson would be able to sustain the improvisational intensity of the prolonged instrumental before being forced to take the whole thing on down. 'Man,' said Charles 'Fathead' Lockwood, a session drummer with Elmore James in the late '50s, sitting in a smoky recess near the back. 'Every time he do another D-C-G progression, I think there ain't no way Skipbone can burn it up any hotter, no sir. But ever' time, somehow he do.' While a majority of the blues enthusiasts in attendance were pleased by Johnson's unexpected continuation, relishing the 12 surplus bars of searing, Chicago-style blues guitar, a few voiced concern that Johnson's protracted guitar work might ultimately serve to detract from the song's finish, anticipated by many to be apocalyptic in its mojo. 'No question, Johnson is a great blues guitarist and he did a good job with 'Dust My Broom,'' said David Yablonsky, a Highland Park, IL, blues lover and stock broker. 'But in any performance, you reach a point of diminishing returns, and I feel he reached such a point following the verse about his woman leaving him. Had he skipped the extended bridge and brought it on home after verse number two, I think it would have been far more effective.' Yablonsky denied that his opinion was in any way affected by his having to get up early for work the next day. While the extra effort Johnson put into 'Dust My Broom' pleased a majority of the crowd, it also served to fuel speculation that the song would be the last he would play before beginning a self-imposed, half-hour silence. Peter White, a bartender at Legends, estimated that the band had been playing for 'an hour or so' at the time of the delay, and deemed a post-'Dust My Broom' respite likely. 'Yeah, he'll probably take a break and then come back,' White said at the time. 'He's booked to play another set.' 
1	Despite Governor Asa Hutchinsons refusal to sign a controversial religious freedom bill that seemed to permit businesses to discriminate against homosexuals, officials from Arkansas-based retailer Walmart announced Wednesday that they would nevertheless continue defending whichever gays buy their cheap shit. Its important that any gays who come into our stores and blow money on some horribly constructed ironing board do so knowing that we stand with them in solidarity, said Walmart spokesman John Kear, adding that the company would not stop pressuring politicians throughout the nation to recognize the rights of people of any sexual orientation who purchase a bunch of their flimsy tupperware that will be completely warped within a month. If youre gay and rummage around our $5 DVD bin, or just walk up and down our aisles looking for a pair of $10 unisex clogs, we support you. Respect and equality for those who spend an afternoon shopping for an uneven particle-board coffee table are fundamental values of all of us at Walmart. Kear added that the matter hits particularly close to home, as he personally knows several gays who buy old produce from his local Walmarts grocery store. 
3	Obama Tired Of Giving Gun Speeches, Hits The Links At Cali Golf Course - During DroughtBy Brandon Turbeville Shortly after giving a rousing (albeit wholly unconvincing) speech about how guns and their availability are the cause of mass shootings (as opposed to American police who have killed more Americans in 2014 than all mass shootings in American history combined or US intelligence agencies via false flag operations), Obama took off to the Coachella Valley in California to enjoy some of the most pristine golf courses available to the US ruling class in the midst of a terrifying and massive drought no less! In response to the drought, California Governor Jerry Brown has called for a 25% reduction in the use of potable water. In Coachella specifically, the area was called on to reduce water usage by 36% due to its higher per capita use of water resources. But this is no matter for the US President or water authorities. When the public face of the US oligarchy wants to play golf, the public face of the US oligarchy plays golf. Apparently, Obama was so exhausted from his brief stint pretending to act as President that he needed yet another vacation to buttress his time at work. Of course, taking as many vacation days as one has worked may be a foreign concept to the average American who is lucky to receive any paid vacation at all, but the American working (and not working) class cannot be expected to live the life of leisure carefully prepared for special people and brilliant minds like those of Corporate heads, bankers, and government officials. With Obamas new vacation, it appears that his recent statement that he was tired of giving these types of speeches after the Charleston Church shooting was more literal than Americans may have guessed. While Obama and his Royal (*ahem) Presidential familys vacations are nowhere near the most concerning issue facing America today, it is worth pointing out what the real significance of these public vacations and displays of unrestrained shopping sprees and events might be. Namely, that two classes of people that have existed since the beginning of the country the rich and the poor are now becoming more pronounced. With the middle class in America almost completely eliminated, the ranks of the poor and the working poor are swelling while the ranks of the oligarchical and aristocratic class become more and more opulent. Unfortunately, Americans have had plenty of Hollywood propaganda that prevents them from becoming insulted or angry at the ruling class enjoying piles of food at beautifully decorated dinner tables while they are scraping crumbs from a plastic saucer. Instead, Americans have been successfully trained to admire wealth and opulence. Despite the fact that they are poor, they have been trained to despise their own classes. The middle classes that do currently remain are quite content to enjoy the financial benefit over the poor for so long as it lasts. After all, they might not be rich, but at least they are not poor and everyone needs someone to look down on. When jealousy does erupt, it is not at the ruling class in million dollar town houses, it is at those who dwell in housing projects and trailer parks. Anger at welfare programs aimed at the poor far outstretch anger at welfare programs aimed at government officials, military-industrial complex firms, and banks in American culture. What little class consciousness that does exist is siphoned off into the false idea that the economic problems facing Americans is merely one of distribution and thus we must be forced to come up with new ways of taking from members of the general public to give to other members of the general public and, if we do this well enough, the problem will be solved. But the crisis is not just one of distribution, it is a matter of production. The demands for any movement seeking to change the state of affairs in which the overwhelming majority of the American population now finds itself in already exist. All that is necessary is that those willing to take part in a mass strike upsurge grasp the wheel and begin to drive the machine in the right direction. The promotion of the existence of the American ruling class now more visible in the minds of the general public than ever should not be a sign of defeat for those on the bottom rungs of society, it should be a sign of anger. It should be a metaphorical call to arms. Recently from Brandon Turbeville Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

Drought in Cali? I say BS, POTUS golfing in Palm Springs, Coachella Valley So what. There is no drought in Cali, and if there was lets shut down the bottled water companies that are bottling millions and millions of gallons of water right now in the Morongo Valley, thats where Palm Springs gets there water from. The only reason they are harping on this so called drought is to drive down property values and force poorer people to leave Cali, then when the population is downsized, POOF, drought over and the rich buy up the property for pennies on the dollar. Dont fall for this fake drought BS, its all a big scam. You nailed it on the head. Thanks for the truth something lacking elsewhere. When you create the drought you get to play the drought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68we3aP_UNE Nobody was killed in Charleston, f*n obvious since day 1. Why cant this web site get it right? There is along history of Presidents relaxing by playing golf after dealing with deadly issues. In The Brothers (about the Dulles brothers), Eisenhower gives permission for the CIA to assassinate Lumumba, the popular elected nationalist, which of course violates international law, he goes out and golfs. We must stop the terrah (terror)! I call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers. stated George Bush, and then he said, NOw watch this swing. NIxon had another way of relaxing: he got drunk every night on the Presidential boat on the Potomic, frequently announcing that the US would nuke North Vietnam. Everyone ignored him and by morning it was forgotten about. Clinton, of course, preferred blow jobs to unwind. As for Obama being tired of mass shootings, 90% of the public, and 3/4 of gun owners and NRA members support universal background checks, but the Republicans in Congress, bullied by the NRA, refuse to act. I can see why he is tired of giving speeches and nothing happening. If Presidents did not have a way to relax, they would be maniacs from the pressure of the job. Of course, Obama has been criticized since day one by people who hate the idea of a black President for his vacations (1/3 that of Bush) and his golfing And lets not forget Reagan, who, for instance, during the funeral of Egyptian President Sadat, went horseback riding. When two marines were killed and and 14 wounded in Beirut, he did not interrupt his vacation in California. Chris Wallace reported: I was covering Ronald Reagan at that time. He was in Santa Barbara at his ranch when that happened, and quite frankly he didnt want to leave. And his advisers realized how terrible this looked, and eventually persuaded him he had to fly back to Washington and had to give this speech to the nation, but it did take him four days. On the day the military was planning the invasion of Grenada, Reagan remained on vacation at the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. There are pictures of him being briefed on the invasion plans in his pajamas, then hitting the links. In 1984, when 21 people were killed in a a mass murder at McDonalds in California, Reagan went horseback riding at Camp David. In 86, when Pakistanis stormed an airplane killing 22 people, including 2 Americans, Reagan, on vacation in California, went horseriding. Let sum it up:Reagan took a total of 390 days of vacation; Clinton only took 174 but he had little vacations in the White House with various women, Bush II took 877 days of vacations, including 77 trips to his fake ranch in Texas (thats about 1 in 3 days), and Obama so far has taken about 40 holidays, and 161 vacation days in his first 6 years. To catch up with Bush, he would have to take the rest of his entire term off!

1	Despite retiring from the sport 14 years ago, 52-year-old former All-Star hitter Mark McGwire confidently told reporters Friday that he could still disgrace baseball at the highest level today. I might not be what I once was, but I could definitely get out there on the field and completely tarnish the reputation of the sport just like I used to, said McGwire, adding that while he enjoys working as a hitting coach for the Dodgers, he is often nostalgic for the days when he would wake up every morning, lie to teammates and fans, and let down everyone connected to baseball. Id be lying if I said I hadnt considered coming back for another season to destroy the legacy of an entire generation of players. Look, Im confident in my abilities, and theres no doubt in my mind that I could go out there tomorrow and deliver a few huge blows to the credibility of Major League Baseball. McGwire conceded, however, that even in his prime, he couldnt disgrace the game as much as current New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez.

3	Is GPS Technology Now a Threat to National Security?Nicholas West As stated by Arati Prabhakar, head of DARPA, sometimes a capability is so powerful that our reliance on it, in itself, becomes a vulnerability. Now DAPRA is looking to correct the gaping security holes of GPS by introducing the next generation of navigation and tracking technology, which purportedly includes an autonomous chip. The ubiquitous nature of GPS allegedly has been exploited by North Korea for several years. In 2011 it was reported that North Korea scrambled the coordinates of a U.S. spy plane attempting to make an emergency landing in South Korea. The story was heavily disputed, but evidently anyone can scramble the satellite signals of the worlds most powerful military with a $30 GPS jammer device bought on eBay. Patrick Winn of Global Post highlights other possible, even more lethal, military blunders: Bluster aside, North Koreas jammers have so far proved merely aggravating to U.S. and South Korean forces. Scrambling GPS signals wont cause planes to drop from the sky. Planes can still establish their position with radar. A more-worrisome scenario could occur during all-out warfare. Bombs commonly used by the U.S. Air Force called Joint Direct Attack Munitions rely in part on GPS for precision targeting. According to the Defense Department, jamming a bombs signal could cause it to miss its target by nearly 100 feet. South Koreas weapons and navigations systems have suffered multiple North Korean jamming efforts, according to Seoul-based newspaper Chosun Ilbo, forcing the military to hastily switch to radar tracking. Experts warn that a few dozen jammers, strapped to remote control planes and launched over a major city, could sow plenty of panic: disrupting ATM withdrawals, air traffic controllers, ambulance routes and cell phones. In fact, the world has become so dependent on GPS, that mega defense contractor, Raytheon,offers the followinginfographic Imagine The World Without GPS to illustrate the vulnerabilities: GPS technology has already been through several generations of development to the tune of many billions of dollars, including GPS III which is set to launch the first of 32 new satellites in 2014 and has a timeline extending until at least 2025. Companies like Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin have been among the predictable winners of contracts to increase the reach and security of the GPS network. However, it seems that the original source of what has now become a problem is offering the solution, or at least part of it. DARPA seeks to augment or perhaps eliminate the reliance on satellites altogether by establishing a new system that relies on microchips: The tiny chip holds three gyroscopes, three accelerometers and an atomic clock, which, together, work as an autonomous navigation system. DARPA envisages using this technology to replace GPS in some contexts, especially in small-caliber ammunition or for monitoring people. (emphasis added) Who could imagine that the inventor of the Internet would not be concerned with monitoring people, knowing what we do in todays world of progressive surveillance of the Web? And, just like the Internet, we can expect that whatever is developed for the military will slowly but surely ease its way into those civilian devices that will be sold to the ever-ravenous consumer. Some contexts have a routine way of becoming all contexts. But this time, they might not even need people to buy in: Prabhakar emphasized there will not be a monolithic new solution, it will be a series of technologies to track and fix time and position from external sources. (emphasis added) One is left to imagine what those sources will be. One Chip to Rule Them All? The official DARPA press release entitled, ExtremeMiniaturization: Seven Devices, One Chip to Navigate Without GPS is worth reading in its entirety as it is a perfect example of why we should never feel safe looking to the military-industrial complex for safety. Using our tax dollars, they all but admit that the GPS technology with which they havemarked the world is severely compromised. And, naturally, it is that waste of money that requires us to throwmoremoney into the solution, since these mad scientists could not envision the threat from the beginning. (Something about Einstein, insanity, and doing the same thing over and over again comes to mind.) April 10th, 2013 The U.S. Military relies on the space-based Global Positioning System (GPS) to aid air, land and sea navigation. Like the GPS units in many automobiles today, a simple receiver and some processing power is all that is needed for accurate navigation. But, what if the GPS satellites suddenly became unavailable due to malfunction, enemy action or simple interference, such as driving into a tunnel? Unavailability of GPS would be inconvenient for drivers on the road, but could be disastrous for military missions. DARPA is working to protect against such a scenario, and an emerging solution is much smaller than the navigation instruments in todays defense systems. DARPA researchers at the University of Michigan have made significant progress with a timing inertial measurement unit (TIMU) that contains everything needed to aid navigation when GPS is temporarily unavailable. The single chip TIMU prototype contains a six axis IMU (three gyroscopes and three accelerometers) and integrates a highly-accurate master clock into a single miniature system, smaller than the size of a penny. This chip integrates breakthrough devices (clocks, gyroscopes and accelerometers), materials and designs from DARPAs Micro-Technology for Positioning, Navigation and Timing (Micro-PNT) program. Three pieces of information are needed to navigate between known points A and B with precision: orientation, acceleration and time. This new chip integrates state-of-the-art devices that can measure all three simultaneously. This elegant design is accomplished through new fabrication processes in high-quality materials for multi-layered, packaged inertial sensors and a timing unit, all in a tiny 10 cubic millimeter package. Each of the six microfabricated layers of the TIMU is only 50 microns thick, approximately the thickness of a human hair. Each layer has a different function, akin to floors in a building. Both the structural layer of the sensors and the integrated package are made of silica, said Andrei Shkel, DARPA program manager. The hardness and the high-performance material properties of silica make it the material of choice for integrating all of these devices into a miniature package. The resulting TIMU is small enough and should be robust enough for applications (when GPS is unavailable or limited for a short period of time) such as personnel tracking, handheld navigation, small diameter munitions and small airborne platforms. The goal of the Micro-Technology for Positioning, Navigation and Timing (Micro-PNT) program is to develop technology for self-contained, chip-scale inertial navigation and precision guidance. Other recent breakthroughs from Micro-PNT include new microfabrication methods and materials for inertial sensors. (Source) This project might be a massive boondoggle, since it is slightly strange that the call to augment or replace GPS was publicized one year ago by DARPA, and is being openly developed. If the scenarios for creating mass havoc with a $30 device are to be believed, this would not be a smart announcement to make. Or this could be a truly nefarious attempt to track us even further via microchip link-up. After all, the federal government is continuing its battle to assert that the collection and use of geolocation data does not violate the privacy guarantees of the 4th Amendment. Regardless, it is almost certain that we will be subjected to the fear machine in full overdrive to convince us that every bad actor from North Korea to Anonymous to any common low-rent terrorist is set to eradicate our current freedom to be tracked, traced, and databased . . . thus requiring new methods to do just the same, and more.

'We were first alerted to a discrepancy Monday when we observed that the 41-9 Lakers were placed lower than the 12-39 Clippers,' said NBA commissioner David Stern, adding that administrators knew something was wrong after double-checking the strengths of team schedules. 'We realized Marcus was behind everything after noticing that his assists per game had gone up from 2.1 in 2006 to 17.3 this season.' In 2004, Camby was suspended for one week after he unleashed the Mydoom computer virus on Defense Department computers. 
1	WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) President Clinton is recovering today after being shot dead by the flavor of Trident Sugarless Spearmint Gum late Monday night. The President was walking out of the Washington Hilton, where he had just given a speech, when he received three bursts of taste from the gum, which was quickly wrestled out of his mouth by Secret Service agents. President Clinton, after being 'shot dead' by the exciting flavor of Trident gum, was hurried to Washington's Memorial Hospital, where the President's personal physician pronounced Clinton 'satisfied on arrival.' Thats some gum! screamed the President as he was pulled into his limousine and hurried to Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced satisfied on arrival by Dr. Robert Orson, the presidents personal physician. The President was struck three times on the tongue by the most delicious gum hes ever had, Orson said. His taste buds never had a chance. According to eyewitnesses, the President was waving to the crowd and talking to Secretary of Defense William Perry when, unseen by Secret Service agents, the gum snuck into his mouth. You could see immediately something had happened, Perry said. He began to smile broadly and his eyes lit up. The third chew is what got him. The first two just opened his eyes to the taste, but the third sent him reeling into a whole new vista of flavor. The entire nation was glued to its television sets throughout the night, mourning what TV commentator George Will termed the death of our collective gustatory innocence. Vice President Al Gore has assumed temporary duties as Chief Executive while doctors and security personnel stay on a 24-hour Flavor Watch. Meanwhile, questions are being asked about how a gum so staggeringly delicious could have been allowed into the Presidents mouth in the first place. Spokesman Roger Vasquez confirmed today that the Secret Service had closed its file on Trident Sugarless Spearmint gum in 1993, believing it to be insufficiently minty to pose a security risk to the President. Were we wrong? Obviously, Vasquez admitted. This is a gum that should not have been allowed within 20 feet of the President. Thats how mint- astic it is! This is not the first time Trident gum has struck a Chief Executive, according to Trident executive Howard Stanton. In 1976 President Gerald Ford was gravely wowed when shaking hands at a San Francisco campaign stop. But that incident was before Trident began using aspartane, a remarkably sweet sugar substitute, in its gum. The two chews inflicted on President Ford, while flavorful, were only moderately chew-licious, Stanton said. But our new sugarless gum is indistinguishable from regular gums and carries five times the palate-pleasin power of our 1976 brand. Harry Williams, a taxi driver from Portland, Oregon, echoed the thoughts and feelings of a nation. Of course you see this kind of thing all the time on TV, but when it happens to the President. . . its unfathomable. Unfathomable that Trident Sugarless Spearmint gum is so delicious. At least he didnt get a chance to see how long-lasting the flavor is, Stanton noted. That would have been a national ordeal that might never have endeda Vietnam of flavor!

1	As the White House considers sweeping strategic shifts in the war in Afghanistan, heroin addicts across the nation called on President Obama Monday to stick with the current U.S. policy, which has flooded the world market with low-price narcotics. 'There's no need to change nothing, Joe Biden,' said addict Reginald 'Bones' Dillow, who, when conscious, is an outspoken proponent of the U.S. military strategy that has resulted in a nearly 40-fold increase in Afghan opium production since the end of Taliban rule in 2001. 'Everything is so cheapit's all totally fine like it is, right? Over there, I mean. Why would you want to do the [garbled].' Obama is reportedly looking into economic incentives that would both persuade poor Afghans to cease opium cultivation and benefit chemically dependent Americans, the most promising of which involves constructing facilities in the war-torn country for the manufacture of methadone. 
1	Noting that only a small handful of patrons have ever had the fortitude to successfully complete the contest, sources confirmed Monday that local restaurant Carsons Pub offers a Nacho Challenge that requires participants to watch a man eat an entire three-pound plate of nachos. When my friend first suggested it, I thought it would be a breeze, but after those first few chips loaded with pulled pork and melted cheddar cheese, I realized how tough this was going to be, said Evan McCulley, who recently attempted the $55 challenge that rewards winners with free nachos for life, adding that the contest rules prohibited him from going to the bathroom or even leaving his seat during the 60-minute feat of endurance. Midway through, I started feeling really queasy and thought I was going to throw up, but I kept it down. I somehow managed to get through the whole thing, but I have to say that I feel pretty disgusted with myself, and I really dont ever want to look at another nacho again. You have no idea how hard it is to watch someone eat that much food until youre sitting there doing it. At press time, sources confirmed that a framed photo of McCulley smiling near an exhausted man smeared in salsa and sour cream had been posted on the restaurants Nacho Challenge Wall of Fame. 
3	The Destruction of Libya and the Lies of Obama and ClintonBy Kurt Nimmo In March 2011, the United Kingdom and France, with the support of the United States, led the international community to support an intervention in Libya to protect civilians from attacks by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi. This policy was not informed by accurate intelligence. In particular, the Government failed to identify that the threat to civilians was overstated and that the rebels included a significant Islamist element. By the summer of 2011, the limited intervention to protect civilians had drifted into an opportunist policy of regime change. That policy was not underpinned by a strategy to support and shape post-Gaddafi Libya. The result was political and economic collapse, inter-militia and inter-tribal warfare, humanitarian and migrant crises, widespread human rights violations, the spread of Gaddafi regime weapons across the region and the growth of ISIL in North Africa. Through his decision making in the National Security Council, former Prime Minister David Cameron was ultimately responsible for the failure to develop a coherent Libya strategy. Sound familiar? Its the same rationale the neocons used prior to invading Iraq. Evidence is now in that President Barack Obama grossly exaggerated the humanitarian threat to justify military action in Libya. The president claimed that intervention was necessary to prevent a bloodbath in Benghazi, Libyas second-largest city and last rebel stronghold, the Boston Globe reported on April 14, 2011. Human Rights Watch has released data on Misurata, the next-biggest city in Libya and scene of protracted fighting, revealing that Moammar Khadafy is not deliberately massacring civilians but rather narrowly targeting the armed rebels who fight against his government. Nor did Khadafy ever threaten civilian massacre in Benghazi, as Obama alleged. The no mercy warning, of March 17, targeted rebels only, as reported by The New York Times, which noted that Libyas leader promised amnesty for those who throw their weapons away. Khadafy even offered the rebels an escape route and open border to Egypt, to avoid a fight to the bitter end. Hillary Clinton was one of the main instruments in spreading chaos and extremism in Libya when the U.S. secretary of state personally pushed for the ousting of late Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi, teleSUR reported in March. Declassified emails released in January and February reveal that she and her staff were aware that civilians they claimed to be protecting were not actually in danger from government forces. Clinton and her top advisor, Sidney Blumenthal, who was not employed by the state department but by the private Clinton Foundation, collaborated on the invasion of Libya despite knowing there was not a humanitarian crisis unfolding. Blumenthal played politics with the lives of the Libyan people30,000 would ultimately perishand urged an invasion in order to boost Obamas sagging approval ratings. Ousting the Libyan strongman, argued Blumenthal, would further establish security in North Africa, securing democracy in Egypt and Tunisia, economic development, effect throughout Arab world and Africa, extending U.S. influence, counter-balancing Iran, etc. Further highlighting his complete and utter disregard for the human cost of the intervention, in the same email Blumenthal informed Clinton about the horrors committed by U.S.-backed forces in Libya, which included members of al-Qaida. Speaking in strict confidence, one rebel commander stated that his troops continue to summarily execute all foreign mercenaries in the fighting. Such actions are considered war crimes and in violation of international resolutions and conventions. The emails also reveal that the Obama administration and Clinton were aware of the threat of al-Qaida in the eastern part of the country, which had for years been suppressed by the Libyan leader. The emails also show that claims made by NATO at the time, including alleged atrocities committed by Gadhafis forces such as rape and mass killings, were rumors used by Clinton and the Obama administration to help sell the intervention to the world. The declassified emails reveal Blumenthals financial interest in the attack. It is clear the NATO intervention was not intended for humanitarian purposes. So what were the intentions of Clinton and the Obama administration? The same as most U.S. interventions: financial interest. The emails reveal that most of the intelligence Clinton received on Libya was from Blumenthal, who was preparing to make substantial financial gains from the fall of the Libyan leader. According to Vice News, the intel briefs on Libya were prepared by Blumenthals business partner and former CIA operative Tyler Drumheller, a consultant with plans to take advantage of economic opportunities in a post-war Libya. Both men worked with the U.S.-based security company Osprey, a start-up that hoped to profit from medical and military contracts with Libyan rebels amid the chaos of the conflict, according to Vice News. In other words, Sidney Blumenthal is a war profiteer and Clinton a war criminal. If Clinton is elected in November, we can expect more wars, more criminal opportunism, and more mass murder.

3	The Coming Biological Infowar: US Proposes DNA DatabaseTony Cartalucci While this initial database is composed of volunteers, involuntary blood samples are already collected by US law enforcement agencies around the country and amassed in an existing, and ever-expanding network. Additionally, the new proposal seeks to establish precision medicine as a standard in medical care, implying that everyones DNA will eventually be required by medical practitioners to administer increasingly state-run healthcare. Such information will undoubtedly end up in an expanded, nationwide iteration of this new proposed network. Serial Abusers and Their New Toy While precision medicine is indeed a powerful tool in fighting disease and repairing injury in fact, truly the future of medicine those appointing themselves as its arbiter in the US have already demonstrated they cannot be trusted with such a responsibility. RT would also note in their report that: Indeed, a DNA database would be to our bodies, what the Internet was to our computers with an NSA-like entity invading, abusing, exploiting, and manipulating not just our personal data, but the very genetic code that makes us who we are. The dangers are immense, and the abuse of genetic information has already been eagerly explored by the very special interests driving this new initiative. The prospect of using ones genes against them in the form of genospecific weapons was mentioned in the Neo-Conservative Project for a New American Centurys (PNAC) 2000 report titled, Rebuilding Americas Defenses (.pdf) which stated: Munitions themselves will become increasingly accurate, while new methods of attack electronic, non-lethal, biological will be more widely available. (p.71 of .pdf) Although it may take several decade for the process of transformation to unfold, in time, the art of warfare on air, land, and sea will be vastly different than it is today, and combat likely will take place in new dimensions: in space, cyber-space, and perhaps the world of microbes. (p.72 of .pdf) And advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool. (p.72 of .pdf) This targeting will require a database of genetic information which when coupled with the NSAs already omnipresent surveillance will enable the growing police state to locate and target individuals with genospecific weapons with unimaginable precision a literal touch of death on equal to mythological gods able to strike down their enemies at will. How to Have the Best of Both Worlds The race to establish a top-down healthcare system based on genetically-driven precision medicine is done with the knowledge that the democratization of technology, including that involved in biology and genetics, is accelerating toward local labs being able to reproduce or even out-compete developments made by large pharmaceutical giants. This follows the same pattern IT followed, where disruptive technology, institutions, and paradigms allowed for rapid decentralization and downsizing. Small groups of people or even individuals now have a platform online with which to compete against multi-million dollar media studios. Likewise, 3D printing is driving a similar revolution in manufacturing. Do-it-Yourself biology (DIYbio) is now positioned to disrupt the fields of biotech, human health, and medicine. With DIYbio, individuals and communities can manage their own genetic information, sharing it how and when they decide, and work directly on applications to alter, improve, or repair it. The decentralization of this powerful technology also will establish a balance of power. Those with malevolent intentions will be kept in check by the fact that so many more people have a vested interest in preventing the abuse of this technology. Like in the world of IT today, backups, firewalls, and a general knowledge of good practices will help protect the vast majority from the abuse of emerging genetically-driven precision medicine. Already, there is a wealth of information online regarding DIYbio which like its counterpart in IT maintains an open source, collaborative ethos. People, understanding that preventing the use of this technology is impossible, can begin empowering themselves with it to ensure a balance of power is struck to prevent its wide scale abuse. Coincidentally, the proposed decentralization of the Internet by local mesh networks would also serve to build defenses for genetic information stored by individuals on such networks. Establishing and promoting the idea of moving away from all forms of highly centralized systems maintained by serial offenders of our privacy and human rights, by democratizing the very technology they seek to monopolize and use against us, is the first step in winning this new battle before it starts.

3	Where Does Money Come From? The Giant Federal Reserve ScamMichael Snyder, Contributor A lot of people assume that the federal government creates our money, but that is not the case. If the federal government could just print and spend more money whenever it wanted to, our national debt would be zero. But instead, our national debt is now nearly 16 trillion dollars. So why does our government (or any sovereign government for that matter) have to borrow money from anybody? That is a very good question. The truth is that in theory the U.S. government does not have to borrow a single penny from anyone. But under the Federal Reserve system, the U.S. government has purposely allowed itself to be subjugated to a financial system in which it will be constantly borrowing larger and larger amounts of money. In fact, this is how it works in the vast majority of the countries on the planet at this point. As you will see, this kind of system is not sustainable and the structural problems caused by such a system are at the very heart of our debt problems today. So where does money come from? In the United States, it comes from the Federal Reserve. When the U.S. government decides that it wants to spend another billion dollars that it does not have, it does not print up a billion dollars. Rather, the U.S. government creates a bunch of U.S. Treasury bonds (debt) and takes them over to the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve creates a billion dollars out of thin air and exchanges them for the U.S. Treasury bonds. Those are very good questions. One of the primary reasons why our system is structured this way is so that wealthy people can get even wealthier by lending money to the U.S. government and other national governments. For example, last year the U.S. government spent more than 454 billion dollars just on interest on the national debt. Over the centuries, the ultra-wealthy have found lending to national governments to be a very, very profitable enterprise. The U.S. Treasury bonds that the Federal Reserve receives in exchange for the money it has created out of nothing are auctioned off through the Federal Reserve system. But wait.There is a problem.Because the U.S. government must pay interest on the Treasury bonds, the amount of debt that has been created by this transaction is greater than the amount of money that has been created. So where will the U.S. government get the money to pay that debt? Well, the theory is that we can get money to circulate through the economy really, really fast and tax it at a high enough rate that the government will be able to collect enough taxes to pay the debt. But that never actually happens, does it? And the creators of the Federal Reserve understood this as well. They understoodthat the U.S. government would not have enough money to both run the government and service the national debt. They knew that the U.S. government would have to keep borrowing even more money in an attempt to keep up with the game. That is why I call the Federal Reserve a perpetual debt machine. The Federal Reserve was created to trap the U.S. government in an endlessly expanding debt spiral from which there is no escape. And the Federal Reserve is doing a great job at what it was designed to do. Today, the U.S. national debt is more than 5000 times larger than it was when the Federal Reserve was first created. Another way that money comes into existence in our economy is through the process of fractional reserve banking. I originally pulled the following simplified explanation of fractional reserve banking off of the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, but it has been pulled down since then. But I still think it is helpful in understanding the basics of how fractional reserve banking works. If the reserve requirement is 10%, for example, a bank that receives a $100 deposit may lend out $90 of that deposit. If the borrower then writes a check to someone who deposits the $90, the bank receiving that deposit can lend out $81. As the process continues, the banking system can expand the initial deposit of $100 into a maximum of $1,000 of money($100+$90+81+$72.90+=$1,000). When you put your money into the bank, it does not say there. The bank only keeps a relatively small amount of money sitting around to satisfy the withdrawal demands of account holders. If all of us went down to the banks right now and demanded our money, that would create a major problem. If I put 100 dollars into the bank and the bank lends out 90 of those dollars to you, now it looks like there are 190 dollars floating around. I have 100 dollars in my bank account and you have 90 dollars that you just borrowed. The new debt that you have taken on (90 dollars) has created more money. But of course you are going to end up paying back more than 90 dollars to the bank, so more debt has been created than the amount of money that has been created. And that is one of the big problems with our financial system. It is designed so that the amount of debt and the amount of money are supposed to be perpetually expanding, and the amount of debt created is always greater than the amount of money that is created. So is it any wonder that our society is swamped with nearly 55 trillion dollars of total debt at this point? A debt-based financial system is unsustainable by nature because it will always create debt bubbles that will inevitably burst. Are you starting to see why so many Americans are saying that we need to abolish the Federal Reserve system? Our founding fathers never intended for our financial system to work this way. According to Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Congress is supposed to have the authority to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures. So why has this authority been given to a private institution that is dominated by the big Wall Street banks and that has actually argued in court that it is not an agency of the federal government? Thomas Jefferson once said that if he could add just one more amendment to the U.S.Constitution it would be a ban on all government borrowing. I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government to the genuine principles of its Constitution; I mean an additional article, taking from the federal government the power of borrowing. But instead, we have become enslaved to a system where government borrowing actually creates our money. The borrower is the servant of the lender, and we have allowed our government to enslave us to the tune of nearly 16 trillion dollars. There are alternatives to this system. Things do not have to work this way. Unfortunately, the vast majority of our politicians consider the Federal Reserve to be good for America and steadfastly refuse to do anything to change the status quo. So if you are waiting for solutions to these problems on the national level you are going to be waiting for a very long time. The debt problems that the United States and Europe are experiencing did not come into existence by accident. They are the result of fundamental structural problems with the financial system. A debt-based financial system is always going to fail in the long run. Unfortunately, most Americans still do not understand this and so we will all get to suffer the consequences.

3	Connecticut bill would allow citizens to sue police who arrest them for filming in publicMadison Ruppert, Contributor Thankfully, individuals have been striking back recently through lawsuits and in some cases charges have been dropped. Furthermore, an Illinois judge declared their state wiretapping law unconstitutional in a case which surrounded recording police in public. That being said, police are still engaging in deplorable activities like confiscating cell phones and destroying evidence and flipping out for no reason when being filmed. Connecticuts state Senate is now taking a stand by recently approving a bill, Senate Bill 245, which would allow citizens to sue police officers if they arrest them for legally recording in public. Carlos Miller points out that this legislation is apparently the first of its kind in the United States, something which I personally find to be quite troubling. Why arent more state legislatures making an effort to protect their citizens ability to hold police accountable? After all, the fact that cameras were on the scene at the Occupy Davis protests to capture the pepper spray attack carried out by Lieutenant John Pike is the only reason why we know that the polices claims that the spraying was justified are nothing short of laughable. The right of the people to hold law enforcement accountable for their activities while on the job is absolutely vital and every incident like the one mentioned above just reinforces this reality. Currently, police are able to harass and in some cases assault individuals for legally filming them while knowing that the worst that could possibly happen to them is that the taxpayer is forced to pay out as a result of lawsuits. The Connecticut bill, introduced by Democratic Senator Eric Coleman, passed the Senate with a 24-11 vote. The bill must now go before the House and then be signed by the governor before it would become effective on October 1, 2012. Instead of placing the liability on the taxpayer, this bill, the full name of which is An Act Concerning the Recording of Police Activity by the Public: To protect the right of an individual to photograph or video record peace officers in the performance of their duties (read it here), would make the police officer liable for damages. The relevant text reads: This bill makes peace officers potentially liable for damages for interfering with a person taking a photograph, digital still, or video image of either the officer or a colleague performing his or her job duties. Under the bill, officers cannot be found liable if they reasonably believed that the interference was necessary to (1) lawfully enforce a criminal law or municipal ordinance; (2) protect public safety; (3) preserve the integrity of a crime scene or criminal investigation; (4) safeguard the privacy of a crime victim or other person; or (5) enforce Judicial Branch rules and policies that limit taking photographs, videotaping, or otherwise recording images in branch facilities. Officers found liable of this offense are entitled, under existing law, to indemnification (repayment) from their state or municipal employer if they were acting within their scope of authority and the conduct was not willful, wanton, or reckless. This bill does, in fact, include exemptions and yet some opponents wanted to see even more exemptions included in the bill. According to The Day, one of the opponents was Senator Kevin Witkos, who just happens to be a sergeant in the Canton Police Department. Witkos sought out yet another liability exemption if an individual allegedly intended to inconvenience or alarm an officer performing their duties. How exactly this would be determined is unclear at best, yet Witkos said that he was seeking to protect police against ill-intentioned videographers who seek to interfere with police. Once again, it is anyones guess how Witkos thinks these intentions would be determined. I do believe that the public has a right, if theyre not in the way of a police officer doing their job, of filming all they want, he said. However, we have seen professional photojournalists be arrested and harassed for filming police when they were in no way interfering with their job. That doesnt stop them from claiming that the individual was interfering with police activities, so Witkos proposal is, in my opinion, nave (or perhaps he is well aware of what police do since he has that first-hand experience and thus is acting to protect them). Thankfully, the state lawmakers were not dumb enough to lap up Witkos attempts to eviscerate the power of the bill. Senate Majority Leader Martin Looney pointed out that the Witkos amendment would render the bill without meaning. Looney also rightly pointed out that it is already a crime to interfere with a police officer and this law would do absolutely nothing to change that. Senator Eric Coleman, the co-chair of the judiciary committee, said, To adopt this amendment would do nothing more than muddy the waters, an assessment which I find wholly accurate. Other proposed amendments included one which would have completely exempted police assigned to the Capitol building from the law and one which would have placed the burden of proof on the person bringing forth the lawsuit. According to the Hartford Courant, the bill was prompted by a 2009 incident in which a Catholic priest was arrested for recording police harassing immigrants in a store. The incident sparked a criminal investigation carried out by the FBI wand federal prosecutors, eventually leading to the arrest of four police officers on charges of obstructing justice and excessive force. The priest involved in the incident, James Manship, attended a press conference during which Democratic Senators stated that if the law had been in effect at the time, Manships actions would have been protected. Hopefully this will set a precedent and encourage similar legislation protecting our right to hold law enforcement accountable. Furthermore, it only makes sense to shift the liability away from bankrupt municipalities (and thus the local taxpayers who likely are already stretched thin financially like so many of us) and onto the officers responsible. Without being able to hold on-duty officers responsible for their actions, the only reasonable assumption is that abuses of power and deplorable incidents will continue. After all, without police dash cameras, we wouldnt know about the incident wherein an officer brutally assaulted a 66-year-old man with dementia for no apparent reason or when two officers attacked a 22-year-old emotionally disturbed man who was not threatening, resisting or otherwise doing anything that would justify the actions. However, police are able to turn these devices off, which means that it is absolutely vital that citizens right to film police in public be preserved and protected as much as possible. I recommend you contact your state representatives and point out this legislation and how important it is to protect this right. Maybe they can use it as model legislation like that put for by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which works with corporations to craft bills given directly to legislators.

2	Muslim Man Stabs KWhen 22-year-old John Rush from Pennsylvania made the disturbing decision to stab a police dog named Rocco, he likely had no idea that he would face between 17 and 44 years in prison. On March 10, Rush was determined guilty on several assault charges by an Allegheny County judge. The charges included the murder of a K9 police dog. The ruling follows 11 additional assault charges Rush faced last December, including 4 aggravated assault charges against police officers. When Officer Phil Lerza, the policeman who cared for Rocco, heard of the harsh sentence, he was happy with the courts decision. I lost my partner from this, and he was also a family member, Lerza said in a statement. Lerza was also stabbed in the shoulder during the incident. Now, Rush is facing a sentence for each victimwhich means 3.5 to 7 years for killing Rocco, 2 to 7.5 years for stabbing Lerza, and 2.5 to 7 years for attempting to disarm a police officer. Rushs lawyer had no closing argument prior to the sentencing of his client. Judge Rango has defended her ruling by claiming that Rush has a significant history of violence. What do you think of the incident? Did Rush get what he deserves? 
1	Less than 24 hours after a visit from Bears quarterback and Type 1 diabetes sufferer Jay Cutler, a group of 32 schoolchildren who shared his disease died Tuesday. 'Their spirits were really high just before Mr. Cutler arrived, but literally the second he entered the room the kids just sort of closed off, and once he started talking about how poorly he was treated in Denver, they became sullen and quiet,' said Erin Matthews, who until Tuesday ran a diabetes support group for children ages 8 to 14 at the downtown YMCA. 'After I recovered from my shock, I was surprised that all the children died, seeing as diabetes isn't terminal and can be controlled with medication. However, considering how sickened they were by Mr. Cutler, well, it sort of makes sense. That the kids were able to live through the entire talk is a testament to their bravery.' Since his professional football career began in 2006, Cutler has killed more than 3,000 disabled or sick children by taking time to speak to them. 
3	Travel Alert: US Border Agents Want to Know What Youve Been Doing on Social MediaBy Lauren McCauley A proposed change to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) and to Form I-94W posted to the governments Federal Register last week suggests adding the following question: Please enter information associated with your online presenceProvider/PlatformSocial media identifier. These forms are filled out by all international travelers who wish to travel to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program. The report states that this would be an optional data field to request social media identifiers to be used for vetting purposes, as well as applicant contact information. Collecting social media data will enhance the existing investigative process and provide DHS greater clarity and visibility to possible nefarious activity and connections by providing an additional tool set which analysts and investigators may use to better analyze and investigate the case, the department further notes. As Fusion reporter Kashmir Hill wrote, this overly broad request raises many questions for travelers. As phrased that could include your Twitter handle, the url for your Facebook page, your OkCupid or Grindr handle, your Instagram account, your Tumblr, your Vine account, your Snapchat, your Reddit account, your Pinterest page, your PornHub account, and any random messaging forums in which you take part, Hill said. Where does it end? Must you include an account if its private? Joseph Lorenzo Hall, chief technologist with The Center for Democracy Technology, who first drew attention to the change, told the BBC that he hopes that U.S. government rethinks the proposal. Democracy in general requires having spaces free from government scrutiny and increasingly social life happens online, Hall said. We would have a poor society if people were chilled from participating in social activity online so I really hope they rethink this. For what its worth, the government is accepting comment on this proposal for the next 59 days.

I wonder how they will treat people who dont do FB or Twitter. And I would tell Boarder Patrol; None of your business. I would engage border patrol as an enemy of the people. Border Patrol has the main responsibility of keeping foreigners out of the USA who try to illegally enter or have nefarious intentions when they do enter. I hope they use all means at their disposal to determine what foreigners entering are country may pose a threat to the USA. It should be mandatory if you want to come into the USA. There are very few ways to vet people to determine what their true motives are. Social media today is how people express themselves, their true selves. That is what needs to be investigated, not paid references that they put on a form or checking the amount in their bank account to determine if they will stay in the USA after they enter. Once a foreigner enters this country they receive they same Constitional rights as a US citizen. That is why it is so important to determine if they should be allowed entry in the first place. Freedom for me but not for thee. Taking gods inalienable rights for yourselves, treating all others as lesser for your safety you should NEVER have declared these natural rights by god if you never intended to violate them for all other humans but yourselves. Like the Divines influence only exists in one nation. Hypocrites! You act the tyrant to everyone else and take/ give freedom only to yourselves. You are advocating Orwellian surveillance for everyone else, you FOOL! It is never acceptable to use tyrannical methods on people! The original linked article addresses that: In other words, yet another facet of the modern security/law enforcement mindset to which failure to participate in intrusive surveillance is regarded as synonymous with criminal activity. This will start a precedent. Not good. 
3	Military Drone Crashes in Mans BackyardBy Cassius Methyl Last week a military drone from Fort Carson Army base crashed in a mans backyard. TheRQ-11 Raven drone landed in Ronald Fisks yardnear downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. Fisk claimed that It was like a remote-control airplane with a 3-foot wingspanThere were lights flashing on it and a big camera on the front. It looked very expensive and I couldnt figure out who owned it, he said. So I wrote my telephone number on a piece of paper because the camera was moving and held it in front of the camera thinking someone would call me if they wanted it back. Officers came and retrieved the drone, and Fort Carson took responsibility. According tolocal news site KRDO: In a written statement, Fort Carson officials told KRDO NewsChannel 13 that the drone was flying in support of increased security measures on Fort Carson when the operator lost communication with it. The drone did not cause any damage or injuries and was flying in compliance with all FAA regulations, according to Fort Carson. What is the significance of this? Its a minor invasion into a persons privacy rights, but it illustrates something important: the military is flying surveillance drones over populated areaswhileclaiming these encroachments are accidental. With leak after leak showing the US governments willingness to undermine our civil liberties and privacy rights, its hard to believe that surveillance drones flying over neighborhoods are simply accidents. But rest assured, according to local news reports, Raven crashes occur on every flight. The plane is designed to stall out at low altitude and fall where soldiers can recover it. Basicallythey are engaged in an operation where they do endurance tests on dronesthenlet them fall and getrecovered. The drone just went out of the designated area, were not supposed to question any of this story, and local media outlets are perfectly content with that. However, failing to recognize the potential for abuse of military power in the US would be a failure that is detrimental to the future of life in America. Whether military force is abused in the Middle East or domestically, the consequences are going to come and were the ones who will have to deal with these surveillance drones patrolling our neighborhoods if actions to stem their use are nottakensoon. Its been projected that 30,000 drones will be flying in American skies by the year 2020, and although they are currently only used for surveillance by the government, documents show that the DHS was considering arming domestic drones with non-lethal weapons as far back as 2010. Please share this with anyone who would find it significant. Cassius Methyl writes for TheAntiMedia.org,where this article first appeared. Tune in!

1	Heavy-set, frumpily dressed Debbie Ayler and openly gay Curtis Gwinn are the best of friends, the pair reported Monday. 'Curtis is so fun,' said Ayler, 25, talking about her boyfriend-substitute as the two sat at a coffee shop. 'We met each other and instantly clicked. Now, we do everything together: shopping, movies, coffee. I even took him to my parents' house for Christmas last year.' Gwinn and Ayler in a July 2001 photo. Continued Ayler: 'I told Mom and Dad, 'Don't get any ideasCurtis and I are just friends,' but I don't think they believed me. Well, I guess if it makes them happy, let them think what they want.' Gwinn also speaks highly of Ayler. 'It's so great to have someone to lean on, someone you know will always be there for you,' said Gwinn, 27. 'I can call her any time, even in the middle of the night, and she's there to listen.' Ayler met Gwinn in January 2001, when the two were assigned as temps at the same law firm. Ayler soon began spending less time with her old group of friends, even occasionally skipping their weekly 'girls' night out' at a local Chi-Chi's. 'I like my friends, but when I met Curtis, suddenly it was, like, I can relate to this person on a much deeper level, you know?' Ayler said. 'We just connected. Plus, I can tell him anything. He is absolutely unshockable.' Gwinn instantly took to Ayler, as well. 'Debbie is just so crazy,' Gwinn said. 'I love that girl to pieces. The moment we met, I said, 'Uh oh, we are going to be one dangerous team.'' In spite of Ayler's difficulties finding dates and her insecurity over her looks, Gwinn said she 'has got it going on.' 'Debbie is bootylicious,' Gwinn said. 'Just look at her. She should be Miss America. Some women are skinny as a stick, but Debbie has got curves. Look out!' Neither Gwinn nor Ayler has had much luck in the romantic department of latea situation over which the pair has bonded. 'I've mostly given up,' said Ayler, who has never had a real boyfriend but regularly shares with Gwinn the crushes she has on coworkers. 'As for Curtis, he just can't seem to find the right person. Most men are such assholes. We both agree on that.' 'I admit, I had a little crush on Curtis when we first met,' Ayler continued. 'But then I found out he was gay. You know what they say about all good men: They're either gay or married.' Though Gwinn is often chastised for his sexual orientation, his homosexuality posed no problems for Ayler. 'People can be so closed-minded about homosexuality, especially here in the South,' Ayler said. 'But I am totally fine with it. In fact, I read somewhere that 90 percent of people are bisexual. I wonder if Curtis is actually bisexual. Maybe that's why he hasn't found anyone yet.' While 'out' to his friends and family, Gwinn said that many people mistakenly assume he and Ayler are dating. 'It's so funny,' Gwinn said. 'We were at a diner last week, and this old woman says to Debbie, 'Your husband forgot his coat.' So Debbie says, 'We're not married,' and the woman lowers her voice to a whisper and says, 'My daughter is living with someone, too.' It was sooo funny!' 'They're always giving each other these little looks that only they understand,' said Karen Bilblach, a longtime friend of Ayler's. 'At first, I thought something was going on between them, like secret sex, but Debbie assured me there's nothing like that. It's like they're playing house or something.' Despite the platonic nature of their relationship, Ayler and Gwinn are physically demonstrative toward one another, with Ayler often stroking Gwinn's hair or leaning her head on him as they watch movies. Gwinn said he is perfectly comfortable undressing in front of Ayler and often does 'fashion shows' for her in his living room, trying on newly purchased outfits to solicit her opinion. Ayler said that having a gay best friend has 'opened [her] eyes to a whole new world.' Once oblivious to gay culture, she now spends much of her time discussing skin care or the latest hit Broadway musical with Gwinn. She has even begun frequenting gay bars with him. 'There's this place in the neighborhood called The Crowbar that we've been going to lately,' Ayler said. 'We have the best time there, dancing and checking out all the guys. Sometimes, we'll just sit at a table with a pitcher of beer and rate all the guys' buns as they walk past. It's so hilarious!' 'The nicest part, though, is that they totally accept me there,' Ayler added. 'You'd think they'd have a problem with it, me being a 'breeder' and all. But they totally don't. It's ironic, but I actually feel more accepted when I'm with Curtis at a place like that than when I'm with straight people.' According to psychiatrist Dr. Angela Paschal, Gwinn and Ayler's relationship makes perfect sense. 'For Debbie, Curtis is an ideal partner,' Paschal said. 'He provides friendship, emotional support, and a certain sense of exoticism via his homosexuality. And since she is long-accustomed to not having sex, she barely even misses that component in her quasi-romance. As for Curtis, he receives from Debbie social respectability, unconditional acceptance, and a major ego boost via her obvious but unspoken crush on him. Best of all, he doesn't have to feel the tiniest bit guilty or uncomfortable about her attraction to him because the relationship can never be consummated, thanks to his homosexuality. Curtis and Debbie enjoy a symbiotic relationship of the highest, most dysfunctional order.' 
1	The new They Might Be Giants episode of VH1's Behind The Music is devoid of sex and drugs, sources reported Monday. 'Man, we haven't had that much trouble finding something juicy since the 'Weird Al' episode,' VH1 senior vice-president Bill Flanagan said. 'We can almost always hit paydirt with a band's groupies, but in They Might Be Giants' case, they're all 31-year-old computer programmers.' The They Might Be Giants episode largely focused on keyboardist/accordionist John Linnell's harrowing early-'90s addiction to Tetris. 
3	There is a Good Chance Your Bank is Committing a Major Crime Right NowOn April 10, 2006, Mexican authorities searched through a DC-9 jet at the airport in Ciudad del Carmen. They found more than five tons of cocaine valued at more than $100 million. However, you probably will be very surprised to learn who aided and abetted the drug operation: it was US banking giant Wachovia. After an investigation that took years, Wells Fargo, which now owns Wachovia, paid a $160 million fine to settle the case. Wachovias blatant disregard for our banking laws gave international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations, said federal prosecutor Jeffrey Sloman. You might also be surprised to hear that Wachovias fine wasnt an isolated case. Citibank was caught laundering money for a Mexican drug kingpin in 2001. American Express Bank admitted to laundering $55 million in drug money in 2007. And the FBI accused Bank of America of helping a Mexican drug cartel hide money in 2012. Youve probably never heard these stories before. The big banks pay a lot of money to keep it that way. Every year, Americas biggest banks spend hundreds of millions of dollars to create a simple, wholesome image: Theyre here to help out families and small businesses. Theyre the conservative stewards of our capital, and they always play by the rules. The big banks employ some of the worlds best marketers. They buy politicians with large campaign contributions. Theyre also huge advertisers, which lets them wield enormous influence with the mainstream media. But if you look past the brochures that feature all-American families, golden retrievers, and small business owners, youll get a much different idea of what banks are all about. Youll see that our nations biggest banks are among the most flagrant lawbreakers in the world. Theyre routinely fined hundreds of millions even billions of dollars for screwing customers and rigging financial markets. For example In 2011, Bank of America paid a $335 million fine for discriminating against black and Hispanic borrowers. In 2013, J.P. Morgan paid $410 million for manipulating the electricity market. Later that year, it paid $13 billion to settle claims that it knowingly sold toxic loans. In 2014, Bank of America paid a $6.3 billion fine for selling faulty mortgages. And in 2015, five big banks paid $5.8 billion for rigging the currency markets. This is just a short list of banks breaking the law and getting fined. Boston Consulting Group reports that banks have paid more than $178 billion in legal claims since the financial crisis. These are the nations largest banks. Millions of Americans rely on them. We trust them to be conservative with our cash and keep it safe. We trust that our credit cards will work when we buy groceries. Above all, we trust them to keep the financial system working a trust they broke in 2008 when the biggest banks failed and needed bailouts. These banks have no problem breaking the law if it benefits them. Theyre caught screwing over customers all the time. And theyre caught helping criminals all the time. Paying the fines is just a small cost of doing business. And its well worth it the banks make far more money from their illegal activities than they pay in fines. With the nations largest banks operating this way, do you trust our financial system to hold up during the next crisis? P.S. Because this risk and others have made our financial system a house of cards, weve published a groundbreaking step-by-step manual on how to survive and even prosper during the next financial crisis. In this book, New York Times best-selling author Doug Casey and his team describe the three ESSENTIAL steps every American should take right now to protect themselves and their family. These steps are easy and straightforward to implement. You can do all of these from home, with very little effort. Normally, this book retails for $99. But I believe this book is so important, especially right now, that Ive arranged a way for US residents to get a free copy. Click here to secure your copy.

It still holds relevance and rings of truth. what is the crime of robbing a bank compared to the crime of founding one? those fines are meaningless and this prosecution saga has been planned by the elite a long time ago. They knew they would have to look accountable and ultimately be judged for their actions. So these mock trials (secret and sealed) are staged for show and tell and so they cannot be tried again for the same crimes. So, follow the money. What company do you know of that can stay in business and have its stock remain unaffected when the company is supposedly fined billions of dollars?? Where are they getting that money to pay the fines? Not from general bank loans since interest rates are squat. Because the TBTF banks had access to QE (federal reserve) money at interest rates of 0.5% or less, and they had the ability to leverage that money 30 to 1, they have invested that money in the stock market knowing damn well where it was headed. And who are the stake/stock holders of the federal reserve?? Well golly its most of the same TBTF banks. What a great system.for them! So what did the government do with the fine money? Were talking 100s of billions of dollars? What was it used for? God knows the government DOES NOT save money or have any legitimate trust funds.so where is the money? Did you or I benefit from these fines? Did any of you receive a check in the mail for the personal harm sustained when the market crashed? I know I lost a lot of money. So should we do our own class action against these TBTF banks? I THINK SO!! So STeinhart.thanks for bringing to light the historical wake of the bank crimes.but maybe you should provide this in a more informative and telling light. You forgot to mention that most of these banks are stockholders with the federal reserve, and they have easy access to money, and can leverage that money up 30:1. Im glad I could clean this up for you! Apparently, your lackluster article is just an info AD for buying your product. What else could it be? So big deal.the fines mean absolutely nothing to me and they should mean nothing to you because the banks should have been fined billions more and corporate officers should be in jail. And these mock trials and prosecutions of the TBTF banks SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC. So, in essence, the whole thing is a sham.a joke on us. If you continue to believe or have faith in the current corrupt governmentyou are a fool and an idiot and you deserve what you get. All big companies including the TBTF banks should be boycotted. All elections should be boycotted. Why do you pay your taxes? Do you find comfort in your tax dollars being spent for elicit drug dealings, sex trafficking, invasion of sovereign countries, mass bombing of innocent people, creating global conflict, hampering free entreprise and new innovations, healthcare that kills..shall I go on???? The government is the enemy. Where I live the roads are still a shamble. Local governments are as corrupt, unaccountable and secretive as the iconic federal government. They waste money on war memorials like that is what we should be proud of in todays world. Large companies are given complete tax breaks by city officials. They never ever do anything worthwhile on behalf of the people. Property taxes and school district taxes are rising. Everything is over-priced even though ALL commodities are at all time lows. Wages have not risen. so WHY are things so expensive?? Because you are getting screwed by both the government and big business. Its just begun. Someone has to pay for all those gov pensions and benefits. Guess who? Enjoy baby. This is of your making and there is no one to blame but yourself So, the banks steal serious bucks from the population chronically, and when they get caught with their hands in some ginormous cookie jar, they get a nominal, pitiful fine THAT IS PAID TO FINANCE THE EQUALLY RAPACIOUS GOVERNMENT! The population itself is never made whole, not even partially. Then the media THEY own tells us what a great job the SEC and the DOJ are doing for us. What a wonderful, incredible, insidiously clever racket. 
1	Continually claiming that hes not up for stuff like that right now, local resident Andrew Hughes, 27, is apparently never in the mood to take part in things hes never done before, family and friends confirmed Friday. Eh, thats not really for me, said Hughes, who regularly expresses a reluctance to engage in activities outside his normal routine of television, sitting, showering, bowling, going to work, playing video games, and grocery shopping. I dont feel like doing it because it would make me uncomfortable. Seems kind of like a hassle. At press time, Hughes was reportedly feeling in the mood to do any of the eight things hes already done. 
2	After DNC CIA Employee Exposes EVERYTHING About Obamas Involvement With Radical Jihadists According to reports, former a former CIA agent just bluntly commented that America has switched sides in the war on terror under president Obama. This is a comment that has been passed secretly between members of Congress for years now, but Clare Lopez was the first to say it on the record. Lopez is the Vice President for Research and Analysis at the Center for Security Policy and a Senior Fellow at The Clarion Project, the London Center for Policy Research, and the Canadian Meighen Institute. Lopez has also served as a member of the Citizens Commission on Benghazi since 2013. As Vice President of the Intelligence Summit, she formerly was a career operations officer with the CIA and Executive Director of the Iran Policy Committee from 2005 to 2006. Lets just say she has experience in this department. Lopez told reporters that the global war on terror originated as an effort to stay free of Shariah or repressive Islamic law, until the Obama administration decided to befriend these groups in the form of the Muslim Brotherhood and other organizations. According to Lopez, the Muslim Brotherhood has thoroughly infiltrated the Obama administration and other branches of the federal government. Take Mohamed Elibiary for instance, a senior member of the Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council, who supports brokering a partnership with the group. What do you think of Lopezs claims? Do we need Obama out of the White House now? 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Clinton Caught Doing THIS Immediately After The Debate For some time now, Americans have been questioning the health condition of Hillary Clinton. Trump has been widely criticized for claiming he doesnt think Clinton has the stamina to be president, but video clips like this have us concerned. This week, the first presidential debate took place. Originally, Hilarys campaign named her the winner. It was apparent to all that Lester Holt went easy on her. The following day, however, when the American public reviewed debate footage closer, concerns about Hillarys health were once again on the table. Hillary appeared cross-eyed again at the debate, which is often the sign of a serious neurological disorder. The crazy eyes were also prevalent in an interview following the event. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
2	Michelle Obama Challenged Donald Trump, Immediately Gets Hit Back With THIS [VIDEO] Last week, Michelle Obama gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention that had liberals praising her. Of course, she took the opportunity to criticize Donald Trump and build up her own family in the process. That is the story of this country, the story that has brought me to this stage tonight. The story of generations of people who felt the lash of bondage, the shame of servitude, the sting of segregation, but who kept on striving and hoping and doing what needed to be done so that today I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves, Michelle began. And I watch my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent, black young women playing with their dogs on the White House lawn, she continued. And because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States. So, look, dont let anyone ever tell you that this country isnt great, that somehow we need to make it great again, she said, pointing her attention on Trump. Because this, right now, is the greatest country on earth! Lets break this down. According to Michelle Obama her family is proof of the American dream, Hillary is the responsible for our countrys success and future, and America lives up to her expectations. Wow. Just, wow.

1	Eagle Cooling employee Brent Festge takes pride in the semi-skilled, blue-collar job he loathes, the 39-year-old solderer reported during his lunch break Tuesday. Festge relaxes during his 26-minute lunch break. 'I'm real proud to be doing something you don't see in America much anymore: spot welding. I work for one of the biggest union-run AC parts shops anywhere,' said Festge, and beat the side of the breakroom vending machine to dislodge a bag of Corn Nuts. 'It's honest work, and I can go home every night knowing that management can't just replace me with a machine, or a Mexican.' 'Goddamn it!' Festge said, shaking the unyielding vending machine. 'Every single goddamn day...' For eight years, Festge has worked at Eagle Cooling, which produces air-conditioner parts for Daimler Chrysler and employs 460 full-time workers. A member of United Auto Workers Local #568, Festge makes nearly $40,000 a year, receives medical and dental benefits, and qualifies for a retirement pension after 20 years with the company. However, as he goes about the numbingly repetitive work of soldering frames to air-conditioner filters, Festge must struggle to keep these advantages in mind. 'This kind of work is challenging,' Festge said. 'I have to stay on my toes. Sloppy joins will get you in hot water with the foreman. Actually, I could do this in my sleep, so what the hell am I worrying about?' Festge has been soldering frames onto air-conditioner filters for five years. Before that, he soldered casings on blower motors. 'At least my job is staying put here on American soil, where it belongs,' Festge said. 'I'm overqualified for it, because I'm certified in welding as well as soldering. But at the time I was hired, soldering on the frame line was all that was available. Well, it's still all that's available.' As he filled out a lengthy compensation form for the 75 cents he lost in the vending machine, Festge condemned the declining work ethic and lack of American pride among the people of his generation. 'If folks want to look down their noses at me, that's their prerogative,' Festge said. 'Skilled industrial labor made this country, and if you don't want to do it, there'll always be a Korean who's more than glad to step in. Just don't complain when the only jobs out there are at McDonald's or cleaning toilets.' In spite of the pride he takes in soldering frames, Festge complains of high union dues, poor break-room ventilation, near-deafening shop-floor noise, a 15 percent increase in his co-pay on prescription drugs, frequent toilet-paper shortages in the men's bathroom, and the acrid factory smell that never washes out of his clothes. He also said that Local #568 president Marsh Delahanty is deliberately under-reporting the strike-fund balance and pocketing the difference. Another source of irritation Festge cited was his foreman, Frank Modesto. 'Last week, we had this big order to fill, but Frank forced us to take our three mandatory 15-minute breaks,' Festge said. 'Then, when he found out we were behind our quota, he chewed us out. What a bastard. And to think I thought things would be better around here after Frank made foreman. He was a super guy back when he was working on the line.' In spite of Festge's frustration with many aspects of his job, his relationship with Eagle Cooling is almost certainly long-term. His pride, as well as his recent purchase of a 2004 Dodge Dakota financed with a six-year loan, virtually guarantee his continued submissive compliance. 'I know there are more interesting, higher-paying careers, but we can't always do what we like, now, can we?' Festge said. 'Nor should we. There's too much selfishness out there. People should work hard and shut up. That's how the world works. I'm the real deal. And at the end of a long, horrible day of backbreaking manual labor, that makes me feel pretty good.' Festge added that after punching out on Friday, he plans to get shitfaced.

2	Inspiring Wounded War Veteran Opened A Business For The Sole Purpose Of Employing Other Vets These days, it is hard to find someone as resilient and inspiring at Bobby Henline, a veteran who survived a devastating explosion in 2007. The tragic incident killed the rest of the men in his Army vehicle in Iraq, and burned more than 38 percent of his body. He will be left with the physical and emotional scars of that incident for the rest of his life. I was in the lead vehicle, Henline recalls. The only thing I remember is having coffee that morning. Within 72 hours, the staff sergeant was inside the specialized burn unit at Fort Sam Houston in Texas. That is where he began a long and painful treatment process, and lost part of his left arm to amputation. Today, after nine years and 40-plus surgeries, the 44-year-old has made it his mission to show his gratitude by opening a restaurant that will employ other veterans and serve the community. Im trying to give back, Henline told reporters at PEOPLE. This is a great way to do it, through empowerment and food. Henline is in the process of raising capital to fund the restaurant, and is asking for between $130,000 and $300,000 thousand. He has already raised tens of thousands of dollars on his GoFundMe page. 
2	Congress Moves To Impeach Obama For Releasing Five Terrorists From Guantanamo Bay Congress is after Obama for releasing five terrorists. He made a deal for Boew Bergdal. He traded these terrorists for someone who ended up being a traitor. Classic Obama. Congress is saying Obama broke the law by doing this. He didnt notify Congress in a timely manner. It seems like he just does what he wants. Obama stands by his decision. He says that the troops deserve to know that their commander-in-chief will do anything in his power to get them back. But does releasing five terrorists cross the line? We think Congress should impeach Obama for this. Do you agree? 
3	Medical Fascism Claims Ownership Over Your BodyBy Mike Adams Hospitals are for profit, they could care less if you lived or died. Hospitals will feed you sugar that grows cancer and fill you full of toxic chemo at the same time, Doctors are quacks with most diseases. On the bright side of things, at least it will only apply to those whom support this system. I wish I could feel sorry for the people this will effect, but there are no victims here on earth, only volunteers. If a person wants to believe that this system is or ever has been good for the people, then their demise by its hands is the consequence of holding such asinine notions. Hope everyone has a change of heart in time, but everyone knows that isnt realistic. I imagine the law applies to all natural persons. A natural person is a fiction a legal fiction. A person is an actor, Home Depot is an actor. Home Depot CEO is a Natural Person. The rest of us are living self conscious beings, men and women. Their laws are commercial laws and they are acting in a proprietary capacity and not as a government. they must be profitable there are two near where I live and they both have expanded. keep em comin w/ all that gmo monsanto first we pilfer every cent they have then they go the last room and no water we are knockin em dead.. wouldnt that be a form of slavery

1	Eradicating any sense of respectability and gentlemanliness he thought he possessed during the long winter months, local man Brendan Watt was reminded Thursday by the return of more revealing spring attire that he is nothing more than a vulgar, hormonal ogre who has to actively keep his thoughts and gaze in check whenever he goes out in public, the disheartened 33-year-old confirmed to reporters. God, Watt reportedly said to himself while walking to work amid a variety of women wearing skirts and light strapless garments, as he arrived at the annual realization that he is, despite his best hopes, a chemically driven beast who must mentally tell himself he doesnt need to take another glance at women who pass by in tank tops and yoga pants. And theres still five more months of this, for Christs sake. At press time, Watt had just caught himself taking a second look at a girl whoJesuswas a good 15 years younger than him, and was sadly accepting that this is just who he is.

I want to thank you for this opportunity. We will do our best to run America as best we can, said Ernesto Vasquez, the new president of the U.S. Vasquez said he will work closely with Vice-President Guillermo Reyes and members of El Senate and La Casa De Representatives to ensure a smooth transition of power. Vasquez will earn the lavish wage of $3.50 an hour as president, more than most of the new federal officials will earn per day. 
2	Powerful Democrats Call For New Constitution To Allow Obama To Be Elected A Third Term According to recent reports, liberal Democrat Donna Brazile has called for a new constitution to be created in order to save America from charlatans, loudmouths, and the 1 percent. Obviously, all of these terms not-so-subtly refer to conservatives. Brazile supported her argument with an article writing for Salon.com, which calls for a new Constitution that will outlaw campaign contributions of any kind. This is not the only argument that has surfaced about campaign finance reform, which is really intended to shut down Republican campaigns. Of course, the changes that Brazile is suggesting lean heavily towards the left, giving them control of the elections. In other words, the Constitution would only create bias for Democrats. What do you think of the new call to action? 
1	Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, said Monday that despite her husband's public image as a shameless opportunist with no convictions whatsoever, in private he displays a rare principled side that most people never get to see. In a casual conversation with reporters at the couple's oceanfront home in California, Romney said her husband's many months on the campaign trail had caused some voters to develop a distorted view of her longtime partner, who she said actually possesses numerous core beliefs and ethical values when relaxing in the company of close friends and family. 'Sure, on TV, Mitt might seem like a shameless opportunist who stands for absolutely nothing, but at home he's actually just an ordinary guy with a decent sense of morality,' Romney said of her partner of 43 years. 'I've known this man almost my whole life, and I can tell you that, off camera, there are just so many things he cares about in a completely non-politically-motivated way.' 'I realize in debates and interviews he comes off as this completely amoral corporatist who couldn't be more out of touch with average Americansheck, sometimes even I roll my eyes,' Romney continued with a chuckle. 'But when he's out of the spotlight and just hanging out with me or his grandkids, enjoying the weekend, you'd be amazed. To us, he's just regular old person-with-genuine-moral-convictions Mitt.' Romney told reporters she has repeatedly urged her husband to 'loosen up' and give voters a glimpse of the integrity she sees every single day. But despite her best efforts, she said, she still has some work to do. 'I tell him, 'Everyone thinks you're a shallow and merciless prick with no real center and no interest in anything other than using other people's money to make money for yourself,'' said Romney, adding that just throwing in an offhand principled stance during an interview could do wonders for him. 'But, in the end, I guess he is who he is. You're just going to have to believe me when I say that the fuddy-duddy in the suit you see pandering to absolutely anyone to win an election is pretty much nonstop commitment to heartfelt, conscientious ideals around the house.' 'I just wish your readers could sit at our dinner table,' Romney added. 'Then you'd see the Mitt who's really concerned about the health care system, immigration reform, and the stagnant economy. That's my Mitt.' When reached for comment by reporters, Mitt Romney smiled uncomfortably and said, 'Boy, my wife's a remarkable woman, isn't she?' 
2	Woman Bites Off Sexual Attacks Tongue Warning: this story is graphic in nature. When this thug forced his way into a womans home in South Carolina with plans to sexually assault her, he could not have seen this coming. HLN reports that the intended victim heard a knock at the door, but when she went to answer it, she found no one there. Hesitantly, she returned to her room and got back in bed. Once again, she heard another knock. She answered again, and again no one was there. Finally, the doorbell rang. This time, when she went outside, she spotted a man holding a knife against his chest. She screamed No! and sprinted back into the house. The intruder managed to wedge himself into the door and force his way into her home. After tackling the victim and punching her in the face, he carried her to her bedroom where he began to sexually assault her. The victim was able to kick him in the groin. Now you have to die! the attacker reportedly screamed, and began to attack her more violently. His plan went very wrong when he attempted to force his tongue into her mouth. The victim was able to bite it until it actually spit off. The suspect jumped off of her, and the victim was able to spit out the tongue and flee the scene. 16-year-old Antoine Miller was later caught at the Waffle House, after his mother called 911 because her son was missing his tongue. Miller now faces several charges including: criminal sexual conduct, assault, burglary, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and kidnapping. He is being charged as an adult. What do you think of this story? Is this just another reason we need to protect our Second Amendment rights?

1	As evidence of doping continues to mount against the 14-time MLB All-Star, reports surfaced Wednesday confirming that throughout the course of his 19-year career, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has sought steroids from roughly 4 in every 5 Americans. Oh, A-Rod? Yeah, he came up to my friends and I at the gym a few weeks ago and asked if we had any HGH, said 36-year-old Columbia, MD accountant Daniel Caballero, one of approximately 250 million Americans whom Rodriguez has discreetly petitioned for performance-enhancing drugs on at least one occasion. He also asked my neighbor Greg for something called Primobolan a couple years back, and when my 9-year-old niece got his autograph at an Orioles game, he slipped her a note that said to get in touch if she knew where to score any undetectable anabolic steroids. According to numerous sources, Rodriguez has also requested clean urine samples from an overwhelming majority of the U.S. populace, including 29-year-old Pittsburgh financial analyst Jennifer Pratt in 1999, Denver-based retiree Martin Nedari in 2006, and Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig in 2011.

1	The country's brothers-in-law released a statement Tuesday announcing their unparalleled desire to receive an expertly written, tangible anthology of sports and sports-culture journalism for Christmas. 'We want the best of both the writing and publishing worlds, priced within the affordable and certainly reasonable $21 to $23 range,' read the statement, which added that paying the full, as-advertised price would serve as the best way to compensate the overwhelmingly deserving authors of such a publication. 'This book would not only make us very happy on a momentous holiday, but would also add meaning to our otherwise insubstantial familial bond, which could then be reinforced further by presenting us with a second copy of the same book, just in case something were to happen to our all-important original copy.' Thus far, the only product to meet the brothers-in-law's well-reasoned and plausible standards is the selfnews Sports' new Ecstasy Of Defeat, now on sale for the full, as-advertised price of $21.99 wherever fine books are sold. 
2	Liberal Teacher Does THIS to 13CJ Pearson is an outspoken conservative patriot. The position he was forced into because of his views is unacceptable. Outspoken 13-year-old, black conservative activist,CJ Pearsonis used to people attacking him for his views, but he never expected it to come from one of his teachers. Pearson told BizPac Review on Tuesday that the sixth grade teacher atColumbia Middle Schoolin Evans, Ga., Michael Garrison, told students in his class that CJ is not worth saving in a fire and that he hates him. Pearson, who was recently involved in controversy when he claimed he was blocked by President Obamas Twitter page, said he was told by several students who were in Garrisons class when the comments were made on Friday. According to Pearson, the students also told him that Garrison accused Pearson of cheating on a vocabulary test when he was in sixth grade, a charge that Pearson vehemently denies. Its always great having a teacher thats not only a liberal bully, but someone who engages in slander, Pearson told BizPac Review sarcastically. Pearson, who has become a social media sensation with several viral videos, tens of thousands of followers and numerous appearances on Fox News, said he expects criticism but when that criticism comes from a teacher, it crosses the line. My words are bold and I dont expect everyone to agree. But to have a teacher say this about me? Completely inexcusable. I hope the Columbia County School District addresses this, Pearson said. Bizpac Review Did this teacher go too far? Should he be fired? 
1	Hailing it as a promising potential fuel source with vast untapped reserves, researchers at the University of Texas revealed Wednesday that they are attempting to harness the abundant energy produced by the nations intense fracking debates. Weve been working tirelessly to develop a means of converting highly charged arguments from both advocates and opponents of fracking into a clean and efficient source of power, said lead researcher Luke Hutchcroft, who noted that the combustible exchanges regarding the economic benefits of hydraulic fracturing and its environmental consequences are particularly prevalent in dispute-rich states such as New York, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. While there are certainly significant outside factors to consider, including whether this energy supply is as inexhaustible as it appears to be, we may yet avert a climate catastrophe by learning to utilize the explosive force of this extremely potent controversy. Hutchcroft added that the fuel sources potential was rivaled only by the raw power that may one day be extracted from scientists urgent recommendations to adopt renewable energies.

2	Jesse Ventura Awarded Massive Sum After Suing Dead War Hero Chris Kyle For Absurd Reason Apparently, there are no limits to greed, and our courts are doing very little to help that. In fact, they recently sided with Jesse Ventura in favor of $1.8 million against a deceased veteran hero. According to reports, the lawsuit was first initiation when Chris Kyle, author of American Sniper, claimed that he punched Venture (a known conspiracy theorist) in the face. According to Kyle, the action was a response to claims that Ventura has said the Navy SEALs deserve to lose a few. After reading the claims, Ventura immediately filed a lawsuit claiming that the incident was completely fabricated, and he was demanding a portion of the books massive profits for defamation of character. After a 6 day trial, it appears that the jury is giving Ventura exactly what he asked fordespite Kyle giving sworn testimony that the story was true. Now, many are furious with the ruling. What do you think? Does Ventura deserve to be awarded millions? 
1	Claiming the discovery will take him places he hadnt thought possible, rookie Tennessee Titans running back Bishop Sankey told reporters Wednesday that after recently learning to cut, he plans on using the newfound skill to run in many different directions in the future. Before this, I would just aim for the middle of the end zone and hope Id make it all the way through, but now, I have so many new directions to explore, said Sankey, adding that the best part of cutting is that it allows one to change direction right in the middle of a play. It opens up a lot of opportunitiesI can go left, right, even backwards. My favorite is forward diagonal left, but coach [Ken Whisenhunt] says well wait a while before using that one in a game. Im still getting the hang of this whole thing. At press time, a visibly flustered Sankey was struggling while attempting to cut in a way that would launch himself straight up into the air. 
3	Now the Bankers Will Steal 47.5% from Cyprus Saversselfnews Post This new form of bank bailout referred to as a bail-in or recapitalization, no matter how they label it, is nothing more than a theft of private savers. According to Reuters: Cyprus and its international lenders have agreed to convert 47.5 percent of deposits exceeding 100,000 euros in Bank of Cyprus to equity to recapitalize it, banking sources said on Sunday. Under a programme agreed between Cyprus and lenders in March, large depositors in Bank of Cyprus were earmarked to pay for the recapitalisation of the bank. Authorities initially converted 37.5 percent of deposits exceeding 100,000 euros into equity, and held an additional 22.5 percent as a buffer in the event of further needs. There was an agreement concluding at a final figure of 47.5 percent this morning, a source close to consultations told Reuters. This brazen action by international bankers is a dangerous precedent for other European nations facing the same bank-engineered debt crisis. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	What Idiot Thought Open Air GMO Trials Were a Good Idea?I believe, at this point, its a fair question. Arent we all beyond fed up with our food being taken over by science at this point? A piece by Andrew Gunther points out how open air trials of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are insanely stupid: But it was Gunthers additional point that sent shivers down my spine: See how that works? Not only did the GM plants get out (not too hard to do considering they were growing out in the open air which isnt exactly Alcatraz or anything), but they got out, commingled with wild, natural plants and other GM plants, and hybridized. But open air trials of genetically modified science experiments are such a great idea, right? What a joke! In fact, it sounds like a lame joke: In reality, this practice is super dangerous as the long-term health effects of all this genetically modified tripe are still unknown, but no one seems to care, especially not the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) which basically allows these biotech companies to regulate themselves. Heres a description of that process straight from the USDAs Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) website: So all a biotech company has to do is say, We think our GMO poses no more of a plant pest risk than an equivalent non-GMO, and toss out whatever it personally believes is enough evidence their GMO is great (as in no independent long-term studies whatsoever), and its all good! No further USDA regulatory oversight! Big Agra party time all over mother natures creation! Aside from a thousand other examples, Monsantos rogue GMO wheat showing up in an Oregon field after the biotech giant supposedly stopped field tests of it in that particular state back in 2001 is nightmare-inducing for more reasons than one (or one hundred). As Ive recently reported, Monsanto claims the GM wheat found growing in Oregon wasnt even the type of GM wheat the company was testing there: If what Monsanto claims about its genetically engineered creations is true, the company never planted test plots of winter wheat in Oregon only spring wheat. That means that the companys test plants for GM winter wheat were magically found growing in an entirely different state than they were originally tested in! Itd be one thing if the rogue GM wheat was found in a field in a border town of, say, the state of Washington. But by all accounts, this GM wheat-tainted field was reportedly located in eastern Oregon, not northeastern or southeastern Oregon. Kinda makes this statement from Danny Gigax, Monsantos representative for wheat research partner relationships back in 2003, sound a little bit like, oh, I dunno, completely made up bs: So the pollen is too heavy to transfer? Oh, I see. Then how was nature doing it before? And none of it is allowed into commerce? Tell that to Thailand who found GM test wheat in one of their U.S. wheat shipments back in 1999. By the way, Gigaxs full time job back then was to prevent GM wheat contamination. Oops. Thus, the whole idea of an open air trial of a potentially dangerous test crop could have only been dreamed up by total idiots, or worse, a company that would purposefully contaminate its natural competition in a bid for a total takeover of the worlds food supply. (If this was grade school, the phrase no duh would apply here.) By the way, Monsantoresumed open air tests of the companys GM wheat in 2011. Its times like these that feel like were living in the movie Idiocracy, and pretty soon well be watering the cross-contaminated genetically engineered mess that was once our actual, real food with a sports drink resembling Gatorade instead of water: But its got electrolytes!

1	Across the nation, Gen-X ironic-kitsch aficionados are racing to bookstores to pick up the new Britney Spears novel A Mother's Gift. 'Holy shit, check it out: It's about a teenage girl who becomes a pop superstar thanks to the love and support of her mother,' Mike Romanoff, 29, told friend Darius Grace, 30, while perusing the book at an Austin-area Barnes & Noble. 'This is an instant classic on par with Fabio After Dark.' Added Tim Edwards, operator of the popular 'Mr. Sarcastic' web site: 'I cannot wait to read this 'timeless, universal story as written by the girl who actually lived it.' Awesome.' 
2	Trump Supports Beaten And Harassed By Violent Mobs... Trump Responds In EPIC Way The liberal media has tried to position anti-Trump rioters as peaceful protesters. That story was obliterated this week, however, when they acted violently and belligerently during the presumptive nominees visit to San Jose, California for a campaign rally. This behavior is almost to be expected at Trump events these days, though antics appeared to have escalated on Thursday, and were definitely more concerning than usual. Of course, Trump handled the disruption with tact, showing no indication that he was phased at all. Thank you for the incredible amount of support last nightSan Jose, California, he wrote on Facebook the next morning. I love you allwe will deal with the thugs criminalswe will build the walland Mexico will pay for it! We applaud Trump for taking this approach, but it doesnt excuse what the anti-Trump protesters did. According to numerous media reports, protesters chased and even threw eggs and bottles at Trump supporters outside of the San Jose Convention Center. Dozens of fights broke out, which is ironic, given that the liberal media likes to act as if supporters are hateful and violent. The protesters also surrounded the car of supporters and proceeded to shake them, damage them, and even smash one of their taillights. They also went after police officers on the scene. Not surprisingly, the liberal media tried to pin the whole thing on Trump himself. 
2	Hillary Clinton Publicly Humiliated At Chipotle [VIDEO] This past weekend, Hillary Clinton made the predictable announcement that she would be running for President, despite the many scandals shes been a part of in the past few years. After announcing her candidacy, she headed off on a road trip, and faced unexpected challenges when she stopped for lunch in Ohio. When the former Secretary of State decided to pull off the road and enter a Chipotle in Toledo, were sure she expected to receive some buzz. Instead, not a single person recognized her. Its true nobody recognized her, claims Manager Charles Wright. When the reporters started to call, I went back to the security footage, and there she was. The sunglasses probably made her harder to spot. What do you think of Clintons embarrassing public appearance? 
1	Conceding the time has come to limit the proliferation of new movies that simply rehash old ones, Universal Studios and Warner Bros. have entered bilateral talks to reduce their considerable stockpiles of unproduced reboots, sources confirmed Wednesday. Speaking to reporters after the first day of tense negotiations, members of both sides said that while building up enormous arsenals of remakes has long been their top strategic priority, the number of such revamped sci-fi franchises, action films, buddy comedies, and childrens movies now in development has reached levels that represent an existential threat to the medium of film worldwide. We recognize that after years of pouring money into the same old material over and over again, we are one misstep away from unleashing something truly awful on our fellow man, said Universal president Ronald Meyer, explaining that while hundreds upon hundreds of unproduced reboots sit stored in his studios vaults, it would only take the release of a single new Hulk film to devastate most of North America. Should one party ever preemptively unleash an updated Edward Scissorhands, it would almost certainly be met by the deployment of a redone Labyrinth, causing an unstoppable chain reaction of similar retaliations across the entire industry. We must install fail-safes to avoid a doomsday scenario in which the studios launch all their reboots upon the moviegoing public at the same time, he added. Universal reportedly made the first diplomatic overtures by proposing remake-limitation talks with Warner executives, who agreed on condition that both studios impose caps on the number of old films they would rerelease in 3D each year. Those close to the negotiations confirmed that Warner Bros. pledged to abandon its planned reboot of Gremlins when Universal provided assurances it would scuttle an upcoming sequel to the 1988 Arnold SchwarzeneggerDanny DeVito comedy Twins. The two studios also consented to dismantle their large-scale programs for identifying potential prequels, according to reports. In addition, Universal and Warner Bros. agreed to begin the careful destruction of their Spider-Man and Superman franchises, respectively, with all scripts for future installments to be fully eliminated by 2029. Despite the progress, sources said negotiations stalled for an entire afternoon when Warner representatives refused to back down from their reboot of Mortal Kombat and walked out of the room, vowing they would not cooperate unless Universal immediately committed to pulling its forthcoming adaptation of the video game series Warcraft. A successful drawdown of our treatments for hundreds of films based on 1990s box-office hits and well-trodden comic-book properties will require a high degree of mutual trust, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara said. We would certainly be open to utilizing a third party such as the Motion Picture Association of America to ensure that both sides comply with agreed-upon reductions in reboot numbers and to monitor studio lots to verify that teams of screenwriters are not secretly modernizing any preexisting film script. Several close calls, most of which have remained hidden from the public, are believed to have provided the impetus for the current round of talks. Anonymous sources cited a particularly disturbing incident in which an erroneous report of an upcoming Tango & Cash reboot from Warner spurred Universal Studios executives to give the order for another live-action Flintstones. Only a last-minute phone call between levelheaded producers from both sides is said to have deescalated the situation. The outcome of these talks will have profound repercussions, with strict reboot limits potentially ushering in a more hopeful future for movie enthusiasts worldwide, said film historian Arthur Spence, who described the power attained by Warner Bros. in 1947 after a team of producers and attorneys working in secret successfully rebooted the studios ailing Rin Tin Tin franchise, touching off a decades-long period in which each major Hollywood studios built vast stores of remake scripts. The reality of the situation is that, at this moment, thousands of these unmade reboots have already been through the first stage of rewrites, are currently being punched up by script doctors, and could be ready to shoot within a few months. Its absolutely terrifying. These negotiations, however, could greatly reduce the grave threat posed by these unfinished remakes, he continued. At long last, it appears these studio heads are finally thinking long and hard about the kind of world they want to leave behind for their children. While pleased with the steps taken during the first round of discussions, reports indicate that both sides still remain deeply troubled by rogue studio Lionsgate, which many suspect of secretly developing a fifth Expendables treatment. 
1	According to CIA officials and sources on the ground in the region, an unlikely friendship has developed between a 9-year-old Pakistani boy and a U.S. MQ-1 Predator drone in North Waziristan. Youd think they would have nothing in common, and yet you see them together all the time, wandering around the countryside hand in wing, area merchant Siraj Rahmad told reporters Friday, adding that local tribesmen generally took amusement in the duos improbable companionship, apart from the time the boy tried to hide the drone under his shirt and sneak it into his fourth-grade classroom. Each day, when the boy goes to school, the drone slowly hovers over his house, waiting for him to come home. Its adorable, really. At press time, the inseparable drone and boy had run out to a nearby field to shoot at old cans, resulting in four civilian casualties. 
3	Trade Agreements Arent the Place for Internet RegulationsMaira Sutton TISA is yet another so-called trade deal which began negotiations in 2013 and is being hammered out in back room meetings between 23 countries around the world, including the United States, the European Union, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. According to the leaked documents, countries involved in the negotiations have agreed to keep the text of this agreement classified for five years after it enters into force. On top of the five-year-embargo, neither the negotiation rounds nor the topics discussed in this agreement have ever been made public. Banning Limits on the Free Flow of Information Article X.4: Movement of Information No Party may prevent a service supplier of another Party from transferring, accessing, processing or storing information, including personal information, within or outside the Partys territory, where such activity is carried out in connection with the conduct of the service suppliers business. This particular language seems to be aimed at subverting data localization laws. In some cases, this could be a good thing. Governments that might want to enact national censorship filters could, theoretically, be challenged under such provisions. The free flow of information is the term government officials and certain tech giants use to refer to these sorts of rules, and they often place emphasis on their potential to protect free expression and access to information on the Internet. But that benefit could come at the cost of consumer protections for personal data. For instance, TISA could directly threaten EUs privacy regulations, which require companies to store EU citizens personal data locally to ensure that those companies follow the EUs strict legal requirements for handling citizens data. Similar laws exist in Colombia and Mexico, and in Paraguay, which is also a party to TISA, civil society groups are now campaigning for such laws. The companies with the most to lose from stronger privacy regulation are those multi-nationals whose revenue revolves around the trading and sharing of personal data: in other words, tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Internet advertising networks. Language like this is intended to make their lives easier: but they also have a profound effect on how Internet users rights are protected. So in short, this free flow of information debate is complicated, and is exactly why policies like these should not be written in secret. Negotiators should be working to reconcile this tension between powerful private and public actors who may have conflicting stances on major human rights issues such as privacy and free expression. That in turn, will require open public participation from a variety of stakeholders. By contrast, TISAs language reflects the concerns of the Internet industry, and not necessarily the interests of Internet users as a whole. The provisions on Open Networks, Network Access and Use may look positive at first, but it contains ominously vague language that threatens net neutrality: Article X.5: Open Networks, Network Access and Use Each Party recognizes that consumers in its territory, subject to applicable laws, and regulations, should be able to: (a) access and use services and applications of their choice available on the Internet, subject to reasonable network management; What is reasonable network management? We cant know because its not defined anywhere else in this leaked text. Leaving such language undefined invites opponents of net neutrality to expand it as a justification for practices that undermine the open Internet. Its crucial that the scope of such terms are appropriately defined so it cannot be used to authorize application discrimination. In a secret trade agreement, such details will be hammered out by opposing corporate lobbyists, with little consideration of the broader public interest. For over a decade, EFF and other digital rights organizations have denounced content industry players for seeking to impose draconian copyright policies via secret international deals, like ACTA and the TPP. But they are not the only industries lobbying for their interests in these deals. Increasingly, Internet companies are joining this secret horse-trading. No matter which industries are involved and no matter how well-meaning or informed the parties might be about the issue at hand, Internet policy and other digital regulations can never be entrusted to a few entrenched interests. These policies have implications for human rights, and we cant let special interests decide them for us in secret.

1	According to a report released Friday by researchers at the University of Florida College of Public Health, 98 percent of all sexual intercourse in Germany is recorded and uploaded to the pornographic videosharing website Pornhub. After careful analysis, we have discovered that almost all of the sexual activity that occurs among Germanys 80 million residents is captured on film and subsequently submitted to the adult videosharing site Pornhub for public viewing, said the reports author, Nathan Saunders, who noted that the 5 million videos uploaded by German citizens each day depict the overwhelming majority of oral, vaginal, and anal sex that occurred within the countrys borders during that 24-hour period. This extremely high rate of recording and sharing such sex acts appears to hold true across every German demographic and fetish. The data clearly show that almost every sexual encounter, from these citizens eight-member orgies, to their acts of fisting, to the most banal two-minute mutual masturbation session, ultimately winds up on this particular website. Saunders added that the study also found that only 0.000001 percent of the filmed acts of bestiality in Brazil ever make it online. 
2	Ivanka Trump Just Stunned Those Who Are Protesting Her Brand Ivanka Trump was shocked when she learned that thousands of feminists have been boycotting her clothing brand, simply because they do not agree with her fathers politics. According to those protesting, Ivankas claims that she has been fighting for women are false. They are angry that she is unable to be objective about her own father. The straw that broke the camels back for these women was the leaked audio from 2005. Apparently, Trumps lewd comments meant that Ivankas support for her father was unacceptable. Women have been refusing to buy her products, and even boycotting the stores her clothes are sold in. The beauty of America is people can do what they like, she commented. But Id prefer to talk to the millionsthe tens of millionsof American women who are inspired by the brand and the message that Ive created. What do you think? Is Ivanka one of the classiest first daughters we have ever seen? 
2	BREAKING: Hillary Makes Unbelievable Announcement About Election Results... Its Not Over Ever since Donald Trump became our countrys president-elect, Clinton and her supporters have been on a ridiculous mission to destroy the Electoral College. Of course, if their plan were to come to fruition, it would be very bad for the future of our country. According to The New Civil Rights Movement, Clinton is leading Trump in the popular vote by over 2.5 million votes. She currently has 65,152,112 votes while Trump has 62,625,928a difference of 2,526,184 votes. Liberals have been using these statistics to argue that Clinton should have won the election. Of course, that is simply not how our system works. To put it in perspective, there are 2,151 counties in the United States, and Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton only won 57. Though Clinton won the popular vote by 1.5 million votes in New York, she beat Trump in the five counties of New York City by 2 million votes. Five counties alone accounted for Clinton winning the popular votea significant reminder of exactly why the Electoral College exists in the first place. If liberals succeed in their mission, coastal cities alone will be choosing our countrys presidents. 
3	State Department Covers Up Ambassador Stevens Death at Rented Villa in BenghaziSusanne Posel, Contributor John Christopher Stevens was promoted in less than 1 year through the ranks from a Pearson Fellow of the Committee on Foreign Relations to US Ambassador. His promotion is questionable. His background was as a diplomatic lawyer. Being a foreign exchange student in his youth and versed in multi-cultural government programs, Stevens had deployments to Jerusalem as a political officer and deputy principal officer, as well as working under the title of economic officer in Riyadh. Between 2007-2009, Stevens was a special representative to the National Transitional Council (NTC) during the US-sponsored Libyan revolution. Then, suddenly, Stevens is elevated to the US Ambassador status in May of 2012 when he was stationed in Tripoli. Sean Smith, an employee of the US State Department, whose work under Hillary Clinton since 2009, under official title of service information management officer (SIMO), was a true diplomat in his own right. Smith also had strong ties to the gaming world as a regular player on the Eve Online (Eve) multi-player online game. Eve specializes in games directed toward role-playing as soldiers, strategists and diplomats in an otherworldly setting. Smiths name within Eve was Vile Rat and used the game to chat with players, as well as pass encrypted communications to the US State Department. A close friend to Smith on Eve relayed a disturbing message provided by jabber (an instant messaging service) by Smith that assuming we dont die tonight. We saw one of our police that guard the compound taking pictures. Being a member of the Council of Stellar Management, Smith played the role of a diplomatic officer in Eve. Ned Coker, representative of the maker of Eve Online, CCP Games, explained in an interview: I can tell you that CCP and its employees are overwhelmingly saddened by the news of Sean Smiths passing, as we are when we learn of any player who is tragically lost. Many of us interacted with him professionally and personally and, honestly, it feels like our words are lost adriftamongst such a tremendous, soul-affirming outpouring from the EVE community. The CSM, of which he is an alumni, will be posting a guest dev blog in his honor. During Smiths 6 years on Eve, he used the game to communicate covert messages with the US State Department. Being the perfect cover, online games like Eve provide a pathway of communication between the US government and overseas operatives on nearly secured channels because of the cryptic messages being passed back and forth. Just prior to the staged attack at the gated villa, the staff was flown to Europe after being carted to Tripoli, where the actual US Embassy is located. The villa was empty when Stevens, Smith and the 2 US Marines arrived. An anonymous Libyan security guard reported that there were no protests prior to the attack at the gated-villa where Stevens was staying in Benghazi. The guard said that he was hired months before the attack by a British security firm to protect the villa. Bishari said that the men who attacked the villa, looted and stole sensitive documents containing the names of Libyans working with the US and the Saudi Arabian government in terroristic operations, as well as oil contracts tying the US and Saudi Arabia, and burned it to the ground after murdering Stevens. The assailants were armed with American assault rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and carried the black flag of the Ansar al-Sharia, or the Partisans of Sharia (PoS). The representation of the PoS is directly connected to the Muslim Brotherhood who believe that those who do not adhere to Sharia law should be crucified. During the manufactured Arab Spring in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood was able to obtain power through violence against the Egyptian citizens. Partisans or followers of the Muslim Brotherhood are tied to the Salafi version of Islam that demand complete adherence to the religion, lest they be deemed an infidel and killed. Bishari said that Stevens would be staying at the villa after his arrival back from Tripoli. Stevens was continuing his mission of conducting surveillance and collecting information on an array of armed militant groups in and around the city. One of the groups Stevens was monitoring was PoS who are also Muslim Brotherhood as well as Salafis. Stevens, in conjunction with the CIA, were gathering sensitive intelligence going as far back as 2011. The attack on the villa in Benghazi posed a problem for the CIA who evacuated their operatives and contractors from the area prior to the attack. At one point, Stevens met with the PoS in Benghazi, while staying at the gated-villa when talking with the NTC. The NTC is a de facto government in Libya that assisted the US in the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Headquartered in Benghazi, the NTC is the self-proclaimed only legitimate body representing the people of Libya and the Libyan state. Because of Stevens involvement with the extremist faction the PoS, his dealings with the NTC and his surveillance operations with the CIA, he became a sitting duck when he travelled to Benghazi to stay at the villa. Stevens was concerned about being on a terrorist hit-list and worried that the PoS may be planning his death. He contacted the US State Department and called for more security. Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, and responsible for diplomatic security, denied Stevens request. And, in response, there was an order from the US government to disarm the US Marine Security by refusing them live ammo while allowing them to keep their guns. Clinton has been working hard to cover her tracks and involvement in creating the perfect scenario that would facilitate the attack which occurred. After a Congressional investigation was initiated by Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and Jason Chaffetz, House Representative of Utah, Clinton asked for more time before Issa comes to any conclusions. The State Department claims that cryptic warnings of an impending attack on Benghazi was relayed, yet devoid of a time frame and therefore ignored. Now with a larger safe haven and increased freedom to maneuver, terrorists are seeking to extend their reach and their networks in multiple directions. And they are working with other violent extremists to undermine the democratic transitions under way in North Africa, as we tragically saw in Benghazi. In a letter to Issa, Clinton suggested that Issas investigation be held off until after the November presidential elections or even pushed back into the early part of 2013 because witnesses were being questioned at the State Departments Office of Legislative Affairs.

2	Jailed Marine Speaks Out, How Obama Responds Will Make Your Blood Boil Amid the Bergdahl scandal, America began to question why President Obama was so intent on helping a deserter, and so willing to ignore the case of Marine Sergeant Andrew Tahmooressi. Nearly four months ago, Tahmooressi was taken into custody by Mexican border patrol officials, after he was caught illegally transporting weapons into the country. Although all three of the guns in his truck were legal in the state of Texas and registered in his name, he ended up breaking the law when he drove them into Mexico. According to Tahmooressi, the incident was completely unintentional. Still, his situation has been completely ignored by the president, despite numerous calls for help. Now, veterans organizations like the VFW have organized protests and boycotts against Mexico in response. Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North has also stood up for Tahmooressi, and called for his release. Still it appears that the 25-year-old has not given up home. In a recent telephone interview, in fact, Tahmooressi told reporters that he was feeling thankful. He took the opportunity to thank the Americans that have supported him. He also added that his faith in God is helping him get through the situation. What do you think? Should Obama stand up and take action? 
2	Hillary Clinton Suspected Of Murdering Politician Who Leaked Information About Her After recent events, the clients have been linked to yet another mysterious death. And so, the curse of the Clintons continues In breaking reports last week, an attorney working on the Democratic National Committee fraud case was found dead at his home this week. Reports indicate that Shawn Lucas was a process attorney in Florida. While little is known about his death at the time, rumors indicate that he died in his sleep or committed suicide. But some suspect that something else is at play. The death has been marked extremely convenient for the DNC, which has come under fire for showing early favoritism of Hillary Clinton. Everyone calls these conspiracy theories, Right Wing News commented. How long do you call it that before somebody faces the obvious that a whole bunch of people wind up dead around the Clintons? What do you think? Does this death deserve a thorough investigation? 
3	New Public Database Shows Total People Killed by Police in Real TimeBy Kristan T. Harris The process uses social media, local news reports, and public records to catalog men and women killed by the police in the United States this year. Were looking at local media reports. Were looking at police and coroner press releases. Sometimes theyre not noticed by the media. Were talking to people via this system that weve built now where the people can submit tips, can submit news if friends or if people they know or if theyve even seen something happen. So were really I mean, were making an attempt to cast an eye over the country, and obviously were open to the possibility that we, too, are missing some and theyre not being reported. But we thought better to make an effort and try to make a more comprehensive database. Follow @RundownLive Kristan T. Harris writes for TheRundownLive.com, where this article first appeared.

3	School Pressured to Stop Making Kids Kneel Before the PrincipalHeather Callaghan In San Bernardino County, southern California, parents got a rude awakening in the form of a flyer from an outraged parent. Yes, for some time, Calimesa Elementary School had a policy unbeknownst to parents that involved making the children kneel down on one knee with arms at the their sides at various times throughout the day. Principal Dana Carter admits to enacting the policy for children to get down on one knee to be dismissed or admitted (usually after recess) by himself or administration as a safety measure. Thats not how some parents saw it. To them, it felt like an unnecessary subjugation for their kids to practically bow before the principal who would be king. After some parents spoke up, Superintendent Cali Banks reported that the policy, which was actually described as positive behavior intervention, wont be upheld anymore. Positive for whom? Positively great for conditioning little ones for a future of subordination and yield. A mass phone notification had to be sent out to all the parents to let them know that effective immediately, their children will not be made to kneel. One mom told a Los Angeles station of her 7-year-old daughter: She says that she has to drop down on one knee with her hands at her side, wait for the principal to come out, lift his arms and tell them to go to class. I feel that the principal wants to be like a king, and we dont have kings in America. Thats right, sista! We only have one god besides the State that children are now praying to apparently. As a former school secretary, I can tell you that subtle and not-so-subtle submission tactics take place all the time. Its part of the public school system fabric which is why it was mostly openly discussed because it really does seem normal for the school officials enacting those standards. But notice that parents didnt receive a mass notification to begin with? It took enough children casually mentioning it before one parent finally spread the word. So, theres going to be a meeting for parents to discuss different safety options. That way, parents can choose which way they want the little human resources to submit to authority. I want to emphasize that choice, a common tactic to get children to behave, is going to be used on the parents! Why does there have to be some kind of ritual at all? What is with the bizarre power-trippy behavior coming from teachers and principals in the last few years? Even Chinese headlines dont approve. Dont they know that they, too, are just human resources for the almighty State? Guess it isnt just the kids who play make-believe.

2	Top Intel Chief Criticizes Obama Administration According to reports, Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency claims that he was forced to resign from his post in 2014 for speaking the truth about the Obama administration. That plan backfired for the White House, given that Flynn has become more outspoken in his criticisms of current leadership and policies. In fact, in a recent interview with The Daily Caller, Flynn exposed the administration for making decisions based on ideology and political considerations rather than solid intelligence. Flynn also contradicted efforts by the Democrats to downplay the threat of radical Islamic terrorism, and called them out for using Islamophobia as a distraction so that they could focus on stricter gun control. It is about religion, and not about gun control, Flynn told reporters. Its a cancerous form of radical Islamism and we cannot allow it to exist on this planet anymore. Flynn also claimed that Obamas messages regarding ISIS have been false. Were not on track, Flynn commented. His strategy is not working. Obama has made incredibly poor decisions that have made us less safeWe should be capturing, not releasing, more GITMO prisoners. Flynn also called the crumbling of Muammar Gaddafis regime in Libya a disaster. He argued that Libya, Pakistan and Syria have all become safe havens for radical Islamists. We are allowing the threads of this nicely woven fabric to be pulled apart, Flynn argued, adding that it will probably take more than one president to correct what Obama has done. What do you think of Flynns comments? Do you agree with him? 
2	Obama Hires Muslim Homeland Security Advisor Who Refuses To Wiretap Fellow Muslims In 2002, when Gamal Abdel-Hafiz was in the FBI, he refused to conduct a secret recording of a Muslim suspect. A Muslim doesnt record another Muslim, he reportedly said. At the time, there were calls for him to be fired. Now, he has somehow positioned himself as an advisor to the President on how to deal with the terror threats were facing. And that explains a lot. The fact is, Abdel-Hafiz should have been fired in 2002, right after he demonstrated that his allegiance to Islam is stronger than his allegiance with the United States. Thanks to Obamas genius, he is now in a greater position of influence than ever. Its no surprise the Obama and his administration decided to distract from the issue of terror following the attack in Orlando. Instead, the focused in only on gun control and debates on whether the suspect was suffering from mental illness. They are somehow concluding that a registry targeting millions of law-abiding American citizens will protect us from terrorism. He shouldnt have been able to buy a gun legally, Abdel-Hafiz said of the 29-year-old shooter Omar Mateen, adding that he should have been on the radar. Once you investigate someone and clear them, you have to remove them from the watch list by law. What do you think? Does Obama need to be tackling threats instead of inviting them into the White House for tea? 
1	Timothy McVeigh's death by lethal injection Monday has made everything perfect in Oklahoma City, his 168 victims' loved ones describing themselves as feeling '100 percent better.' 'I just know my baby girl is up there in heaven, smiling down on this execution, happy as can be,' said a beaming George Browne, whose 7-year-old daughter Brianna died in the 1995 federal-building blast. 'Her death is avenged, and everything's great.' Said Oklahoma City schoolteacher Sherrie Olsacher, 37, who was blinded in the bombing: 'You can't imagine how healing this is. My eyesight's even returned.' Moments after McVeigh was pronounced dead, 168 white doves were seen soaring over the city, racing toward a suddenly cloudless horizon that beckoned the dawn of a glorious new day. 
3	5 Signs the Governments Biggest War is for Your MindCarey Wedler But while organized, physical violence is a repulsive form of oppression, the state employs a variety of tactics to wage war on its own citizens. They are more subtle than batons and guns but far more effective than violence alone. They seek to conquer not bodies, but minds. 1) Over-Medication and the Drug War Whether out of rabid greed or calculated malice, the federal government continually approves corporate medications that cloud free thought. Painkillers and anti-depressants leave users zombie-like, causing further depression and often, addiction. Children are routinely over-diagnosed and medicated and are often forced to take anti-psychotics that they testify makes them groggy. Pesticides and chemicals like aspartame also inhibit brain function. The problem of legal brain cell killers is compounded by the fundamental philosophy of the Drug War. Aside from the police state the program has fostered, it makes the bold claim that non-violent individuals are not free to choose what they put in their bodies. When the government exercises violence to regulate these choices, it asserts power over not just the body, but the free will and minds of its citizens. 2) The War on Childrens Minds In addition to over-medicating children, the education system forces a strict regimen intended to foster obedience at the expense of consciousness. Students around the country have been disciplined for everything from wearing yoga pants to sharing food with hungry friends. The reasoning behind it is not to help others, but to instill the power of authority (always in the name of morality and safety). Other violations students are routinely punished for? Using the restroom without permission. Refusing to pledge allegiance to an inanimate object. Sitting outside of an assigned seat. Daring to upset school police officers, whose presence in public schools has exploded and led to multiple instances of violence. This furthers a mentality of conformity and compliance that intersects with the inherently uniform nature of lesson plans and standardized testing. 3) The Rise of Islamophobia Without public support for war, the meddling hands of government are tied. One of the ways to placate opposition to military intervention, however, is to dehumanize those the government will inevitably kill. Doing that requires collectivization, which the United States government has successfully promoted. Thanks to constant fear-mongering by politicians and the media, massive portions of Americans are terrified of and hateful toward Muslims. In Texas earlier this year, protesters aggressively surrounded a peaceful gathering of Muslim-Americans who tried to share intentions of peace and solidarity with other citizens. Americans walked out of American Sniper (a film undoubtedly guided by the Pentagon) calling for the murder of all Muslims. The dehumanization of an entire demographic of people is a terrifying tool used by the elites to manipulate public opinion (it was used by the United States government against Germans and the Japanese, and of course, by other states craving war). 4) The Radicalization of Peace and Protest The government has made a habit of designating otherwise peaceful actions as terrorism. The Department of Homeland Security has taken a particularly active role in this process. DHS gave money to the NYPD with the intention of policing protests with machine guns (the plan failed) and implementing counter-terrorism policies. DHS has helped militarize the police forces that surround peaceful demonstrations around the country. Missoula, Montana police, who wanted to tear down a commune of hippies who call for peace and love,asked the DHS for funds. They were deemed extremists. Anti-government extremists have also been labeled a terrorist threat, demonstrating that anyone who offers opposition to state policy is dangerous. Even a boy who brought a Lord of the Rings ring to school and acted out a scene from the film was reprimanded for terrorist tendencies. When innocent and often admirable actions and views are considered a threat to the state, it is clear that that state is out to suppress dissent and independent thought. 5) Universal Surveillance The government has long been eager to capitalize on technology to garner control. Take the FBIs powerful new facial recognition system or the DEAs nifty tools that spy on drivers in their cars. The president recently issued an executive order to continue government spying. A recent Pew study found that over of Americans have taken steps to shield themselves from spying. Many Americans are using social media less often and avoiding using certain words and forms of communication. 57% polled said it is unacceptable for the government to monitor Americans data. The study has been criticized, but regardless, denotes a disturbing climate for privacy (the criticism suggests people are even more disturbed by the spying programs than reported). The governments overzealous, watchful eye has created an environment where people are not free to be themselves or freely engage in their interests. Though these methods of oppression seem less threatening than typical government violence, taken together they paint a disturbing portrait of disappearing freedoms. When minds are clouded with drugs, authority, hate and fear, a dangerous vacuum of government control and manipulation forms, it allows the government to wield physical violence with much more ease and apathy. It is imperative that those who are aware of these tactics remain observant, fearless, and free to draw attention to them. As Albert Camus said, The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

2	Russia: Obama Is Protecting ISIS According to recent reports, the Pentagon has been refusing to transfer data on terrorist targets in Syria to the Russian military. One Russian newspaper is asking why Obama continues to fight against the Islamic State terrorist group in word only. Russia Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov also commented on a recent statement from Michelle Baldanza, a Pentagon spokesperson who confirmed that the US military did not intend to share the information on IS targets until Russia changes its policy towards Syrian President Bashar Assad. We are not going to cooperate with Russia on Syria until they change their strategy of supporting Assad and instead focus on ISIL, Baldanza stated. Konashenkov called the statement refusal from any cooperation in the fight against Islamic State and argued that it is high time to change it. What do you think? Is it time for Obama to step up and take action? 
2	Natanyahu Slaps Obama In The Face With Message About Trump After the inauguration of President Trump on Friday afternoon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took to twitter to congratulate him. The text of the message is below: Congrats to my friend President Trump. Look fwd to working closely with you to make the alliance between IsraelUSA stronger than ever. Anyone with an understanding of foreign policy knows what this means though. By supporting Donald Trump, and not taking the oppositions stance of drawing partisan lines, he made a big statement to the world. Obama, while very popular amongst his friends, didnt do right by a lot of foreign powers out there and with Donald J. Trump in office now the excitement is tangible. 
1	Describing them as significant moments in her life that she would never forget, 67-year-old Iowa diner patron Jane Brandon told reporters Monday she can still remember every single breakfast shes had ruined by a presidential candidate over the years. Ill always recall that first time back in 1968, when Richard Nixon sat down at my booth to tell me how he would help American families like mine while I was just trying to finish a plate of waffles, said Brandon, adding that shed had at least one breakfast at a local diner spoiled by presidential hopefuls every four years for the past 12 election cycles, including five separate meals ruined during the 1992 primary campaign alone. I still think about the morning when Michael Dukakis and Dick Gephardt came in at the same time, and by the time they were done shaking my hand and talking about the struggles of the middle class, my eggs were cold and I was late for work. I didnt even get a chance to touch my home fries. Ill never forget how hungry I was. Brandon added that her most cherished memory was from the 1996 primary season, when she was able to order her short stack to go and slip out of the restaurant before Steve Forbes could talk to her about his flat tax.

3	Suddenly Perfect Super Bowl Weather to Arrive In Time As Geoengineering Crimes Roll OnBy Bernie Suarez Coincidence theorist football fans all around the country can smile this weekend and know that nature somehow seems to know when to stop the rain and wet weather when important events come into town. On this Super Bowl Sunday its a perfect time to be one of those coincidence theorists that attributes the sudden change in weather to good luck and spontaneous good fortune. Such is the world we now live in where the general public is dumbed down to mind-boggling levels of ignorance and stupidity while the masses drink whatever Kool-Aid the government, its military and its mouthpiece media will offer them to remain blissfully happy. To make matters worse, the Pentagon and the U.S. Air Force who are the primary enemies and perpetrators behind the criminal spraying of the sky will play their psyop commercials and hypnotically steal the minds of our children; and, like little hypnotized slaves, convince them to join the military during commercial breaks and paid-for game ceremonies. Some may be reading this thinking, who can predict the weather? Yes, the weather is unpredictable isnt it? Or at least its supposed to be, right? When its not being manipulated for numerous agendas that is. The fact of the matter is that while all of this is happening, back in reality, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Air Force and all their corporate co-conspirators are leading the way systematically spraying the skies above we-the-people how and when they wish to do so, all according to their agenda. Their hundreds of patents to profit from the spraying continues to be widely available to anyone willing to research this issue. An issue that is sadly completely non-existent to the idiot football fans who are ready to join the U.S. military and who live in blissful ignorance about everything going on. Nevertheless, the U.S. military sky terrorists march right along with their deceit, their lies and the global agenda for owning the weather in 2025 as is clearly outlined in the U.S. Air Force paper drafted in 1996. And it is easy to envision the power of owning the weather being used to clear things up for the big game, even in the middle of a rainstorm season. The thing about the acquisition of knowledge is that its continuous. Ive always called for everyone to keep things simple. Dont think for a minute that the U.S. military will ever get hundreds of patents for things they dont plan to profit from. They are also not about to reveal anything to the general public or admit to anything that would jeopardize their agenda. And if and when they are caught or exposed theyll just lie and propagandize their way out of the issue. Unfortunately this is the world we live in. And this Super Bowl weekend is the perfect time to blissfully forget anything that is happening in the sky, shut up and accept whatever your government and their mainstream media tells you to believe. Want to believe that the weather is not being controlled by the those who have openly stated that control of the weather was their goal over twenty years ago? Then dont believe it. Tell yourself this suddenly perfect Super Bowl weather is simply a coincidence and good luck and enjoy the game. Forget those lines spray painted in the sky ruining one beautiful blue sky day after another. Ignorance truly is bliss and no other topic brings out the blissful ignorance than geoengineering and chemtrails spraying ongoing real-time crimes that everyone has a chance to actually (and uncomfortably) watch with their own eyes. The best part about choosing blissful ignorance with respect to the daily geoengineering crimes committed by the U.S. Air Force as it relates to the Super Bowl is that this topic is very easy to avoid and you can be sure it will never interfere with your enjoyment of the game. In fact, come game time, I wouldnt be surprised to see a chemtrails plane or two fly above the stadium to spray everyone with their chemical poisons as the crowd cheers for the U.S. Air Force and military. This is indeed the new level of ignorance were all dealing with where the crime is not enough; instead, Intelligence likes to one-up the general public and get them to applaud their own enslavement like they did in Watertown, Massachusetts during the declaration of martial law following the Boston bombing false flag event. We saw the same scene after 9/11 as the crowd of workers cheered for Bush Jr as he spoke to them with his bullhorn. Little did the crowd realize they were staring at the president of the regime who planned 9/11 from beginning to end. As George Orwell famously said: In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Lets remember today that we saw that revolutionary act in action a couple of Super Bowls ago when Matthew Mills grabbed the microphone and told the world who did 9/11: Investigate 9/11, 9/11 was perpetrated by people within our own government. 9/11 also got attention a year ago when Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll spoke 9/11 Truth to the media. So if we can learn anything from the past its that all it takes is for one person to stand for truth to create a ripple effect. Will someone stand for truth this year? As we all wait for someone to step up, remember that this event is heavily paid for by the Luciferian elite and all the players who are vying for power and riches in this life. This event is not about humanity, the poor, the needy or even the homeless as we saw earlier where the homeless were evacuated from nearby San Francisco streets. This event comes with a lot of rituals, subliminal messages and mass mind control to glorify the state, sell propaganda and control the masses. A massive event like the Super Bowl is always an event to watch, especially in a year (2016) that could officially mark the end of America. If nothing else it is a golden opportunity to role out the militarized new world order police and further condition the masses to accept their enslavement and accept the police state. And as the Air Force brags about how they are going to defend the airspace above the Super Bowl, remember that its also a perfect situation for a false flag attack on the clueless masses. Lets not forget the U.S. Air Force was defending the sky on 9/11 also. Sadly lost in all of this is the fact that the only reason this event is happening is because two football teams will play a GAME and nothing more. Its simply a game between two teams to see who wins. In this crazy Orwellian world we live in its easy to forget what the event was all about to begin with, isnt it? Bernie is a revolutionary writer with a background in medicine, psychology, and information technology. He is the author of The Art of Overcoming the New World Order and has written numerous articles over the years about freedom, government corruption and conspiracies, and solutions. A former host of the 9/11 Freefall radio show, Bernie is also the creator of the Truth and Art TV project where he shares articles and videos about issues that raise our consciousness and offer solutions to our current problems. His efforts are designed to encourage others to joyfully stand for truth, to expose government tactics of propaganda, fear and deception, and to address the psychology of dealing with the rising new world order. He is also a former U.S. Marine who believes it is our duty to stand for and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. A peace activist, he believes information and awareness is the first step toward being free from enslavement from the globalist control system which now threatens humanity. He believes love conquers all fear and it is up to each and every one of us to manifest the solutions and the change that you want to see in this world, because doing this is the very thing that will ensure victory and restoration of the human race from the rising global enslavement system, and will offer hope to future generations. No doubt. Im sure the broncos have been selected to win and gives the QB another ring of the three ring circus. I congratulate myself on the fact that I didnt even know it was Superbowl weekend until Monday morning. But I agree with you about it being a theatrical event. Gaddafi was strongly against spectator sports. The amount of spraying around the San Francisco area of the last 2 days has been horrific. Still nobody bothers to look up. Yes, skies were thick with trails, until this morning, the day of Super Bowl 50 too coincidental to be explained away as a natural phenomena. what a useless article. If you are claiming climate engineering, then please provide some relevant data including meteorological maps. You are a loon otherwiseand a whiner with no convincing data to support your trivialities and fears. Bernies either a paid-for troll, or another uneducated pseudo-scientist. I think its the former. Heres a parting thought.get a real job so you can move out of your moms basement. Youre missing the point. All you need to do is look up and see for yourself. Questioning whats going is the first step for critical thinking. No doubt. Not questioning is the first step to perpetual slavery. Keep on ignoring the poison being dumped everywhere at your own peril. Curiosity killed the cat. Stupidity will kill you. The energy that one needs to exert in trying to show mental midgets like you that not only is this happening, but is happening right in front of your face has become nothing but an exercise in futility. All one has to do is look up, do a little research, and step away from the TV. You, like far too many of our fellow Americans, just dont have what it takes to face the truth. In the age of information, ignorance is a choice. No, he is actually not stupid, hes an Eskimo doing his hasbara duty. The tell is his trotting out the standard smear moms basement. really? did you find some relevant facts in this story besides hype to support the title and premise of this article? Thats a rhetorical question since there is not a shred of evidence to support the authors premise. It is you that expend energy and time on useless matters without understanding the facts or the science. Im afraid you have chosen ignorance since you continue to support hype and speculation without question. Typical americans reacting instead of thinking. Sorry to inform you but I spent 18 years conducting environmental studies including meteorological modeling of contaminants. There is a whole subject matter on it. Just google, Fate and Transport. Of course, that might require you to give a damn in actually finding the truth, and I doubt you can do much more than a knee-jerk reaction. I would be happy to discuss any of your geoengineering hypothesis and conspiracies as soon as you educate yourself. Whats with the nonstop personal insults? Its always a sign of a weak argument. Heres how this usually works. We supply supporting evidence and you refute it. Its pointless. Therefore, lets deal in logic. What are the trails in the sky over nearly city? Have to ask yourself why these people even come to these sites? Paid, maybe? Thats what I suspect. Telltale signs: Theyre always experts in the field. However, they refuse to answer certain questions. and conspiracies How about we start with three big ones: 9/11, JFK assassination, and the Manhattan Project? Lets go down the rabbit hole, if you can handle it. Thanks for noticing. Chemtrail activity in the Santa Clara area, (close to where I live) ceased for several weeks allowing low barometric pressure and resulting rain (normal climate), however heavy chemtrails appeared again on Friday (jacking up pressure) in preparation for the super bowl. Meteorological maps show pressure dropping again on Tuesday. The weather controllers appear to be approachable for patrons to order and pay for sunshine why dont we know who they are? I hate to break it to you, but we have not had a single El Nino storm in California this year. We have had normal winter storms and that is it. El Nino storms consist of low pressure systems from the north sucking nearly unlimited plumes of warm moisture in from the South Pacific and dumping it on California.. This has NOT happened yet this year. Whether or not the weather is manipulated is another story. Correct. This is why I took the Godzilla predictions of 2015 with a grain of salt. The prospect of rain falling in the San Francisco Bay Area just before, during or right after Super Bowl 50 has just increased. Its been a nice, normal wet winter in the Bay Area until a few days prior to Super Bowl. The sky stripes appeared and spread starting Thursday when I took the trash out and skies cleared on Sunday. Temperature warmed to near record level this weekend. As a Bay Area resident I too witnessed the transformation from heavy aerial spraying in the days leading up to Super Bowl 50. Then as Sunday morning dawned there was perfectly clear skies and unseasonably warm temps. Seems too much is riding on the success of game day to be left to the whim of nature. This article addresses what I suspected is the case geoengineering. It must really suck to be a Meteorologist these days. They are just high paid teleprompter readers now.The ones that know the real truth.I dont know how they sleep at knight, but they have families to support so Its sad. Yeah, they must certainly know whats going on. Have to say though the guy who does the local weather in my home city in australia has eluded a couple times now that he has no idea what is going on with our weather and seems a bit disturbed about it. He knows. You could see it in his face after the last big storm almost flattened the city. Well..I made a post hours ago waiting moderation from AP but I guess they didnt like what I had to say. Great post. Wish i read it when fresh. However, i would like the links to those articles. I have been watching the spraying in my home city for a while and the strange weather that follows. The heat conditions near killed us all this summer. No rain in 8 weeks. Very odd this part of the world. Needless to say the power company would have loved the air-cons pumping away 24/7! email me. brettpriest@mail.com or follow on twitter brettpriest11. Cheers, mate.. 
1	The U.S. Senate softball team suffered its fourth straight defeat Tuesday, losing 11-4 to the Anchor Inn. 'We were actually ahead in the second after [Sen.] Judd [Gregg (R-NH)] hit a two-run double,' team captain Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) said. 'But then, Anchor Inn scored six in the bottom of the inning, and the rout was on.' For next week's game against Pitchers Pub, Ensign said he plans to move error-prone shortstop Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) to right field. 
1	WASHINGTON, DCResponding to widespread speculation, members of the U.S. Supreme Court told reporters Monday that they will not continue to hear cases if Chief Justice William Rehnquist, 80, steps down. The Supreme Court, which plans to split if Chief Justice Rehnquist (below) leaves. 'It just wouldn't be the same court without Bill,' Justice David Souter said. 'He's the heart and soul of this judicature, the one who motivates us to keep ruling. I can't imagine doing it without him.' In October, Rehnquist, who has served on the Supreme Court for 33 years, announced that he has thyroid cancer. The statement led some to speculate that he will not complete his annual term. 'The Supreme Court is a middle-aged man's game,' Rehnquist told Law and Justice magazine in November 1997. 'I can't see myself swinging the gavel at 90. I just don't have the stamina.' At an informal hearing held in Justice Steven J. Breyer's kitchen in December, the Supreme Court voted 7 to 1 in favor of breaking up, with Justice Antonin Scalia abstaining from the vote. Rehnquist was the sole dissenting voice. 'Bill kept arguing that no matter what happened, the Supreme Court should continue,' Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said. 'It was touching to see how much faith he has in us, but I think the majority opinion is in favor of quitting while we're on top, rather than muddling through a bunch of mediocre judicial sessions and becoming some sort of kangaroo court.' Continued O'Connor, 'The hardest thing to achieve with a judicial body as large as ours is a rapport. To effectively interpret the law, you need that certain magical something. Without Rehnquist, we'll lose that vibe.' Justice Anthony Kennedy agreed. 'Maybe you have to be sitting on the bench to understand, but there's something special about Rehnquist,' Kennedy said. 'You can feel the electricity fill the air as soon as the court marshal calls out, 'Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before the Honorable, the Supreme Court of the United States are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the court is now sitting.'' While he was not appointed chief justice until 1986, Rehnquist has appeared on more television shows and in more magazines than any justice in the history of the Supreme Court. 'Rehnquist's been the court's spiritual leader since being sworn in in 1972,' Souter said. 'Right now, the Supreme Court is the most powerful legal body in the country. I think we'd all prefer to go down in the books that way.' Bernard Tomaine, publisher of the Supreme Court fanzine The Docket, characterized Rehnquist's role as 'essential.' 'When Rehnquist leaves, it's going to be the end of an era,' Tomaine said. 'He's absolutely irreplaceable.' Added Tomaine: 'I've got a bootleg copy of an opinion that Rehnquist wrote for U.S. v. Verdugo-Urquidez that would blow your mind.' Although the associate justices have yet to announce their plans following the dissolution of the Supreme Court, Tomaine said he believes that many will continue on with solo judiciary projects. 'I don't think they're ready to give up interpreting the law just yet,' Tomaine said. 'I wouldn't be surprised if a number of these justices get together and start something very similar to the Supreme Court, but under a different name. I heard that Scalia wants to set up a new organization under the name 'The U.S. Supreme Court featuring Antonin Scalia.' Personally, I think it's very disrespectful to use the name of that honorable institution, but I suppose it's his right.' While no definitive time frame has been established for Rehnquist's departure, many speculate that it will be soon. 'Swearing in Bush for his second term will be a big moment,' Tomaine said. 'Unless he's got something up his sleeve for [terrorism suspect Zacarias] Moussaoui's trial, he'll probably leave right after the inauguration. I can't see Rehnquist going out on a quiet note. That's just not his style.' Although the justices' resolve seems strong, some fans of the Supreme Court say the eight justices will change their minds after Rehnquist leaves. 'This is not the first time a government branch has threatened to quit for personal reasons,' said Henry Loghermann, a prominent Washington D.C. historian and Supreme Court groupie. 'Take the Department of the Interior in the '80s. They kept saying that if James Watt left, they'd all go their separate ways. Well, Watt left, and the DOI is still going strong. And I can't even count how many times the British House of Lords has broken up and reformed in the past 50 years. When the harsh reality sets in, the high court will see what few options they have and cut the bluster.' 
3	Neither Candidate Can Prevent the Coming CollapseYoutube 
1	Since the 1970s, Bong on a Drum and Party Hopper have been competitors, offering high-quality decorative smoking pipes, tie-dyed T-shirts and multi-purpose nitrous-oxide dispensers. This week, they will merge, an action that could result in a global conglomerate offering franchises in hundreds of world markets, a listing on the New York Stock Exchange, and salaries in the tens of millions for its two CEOs. Yeah, we decided to go into business together because I got this problem getting up in the morning, Selena Jones, CEO of Party Hoppers, said. I almost never open my store before 1 p.m. Jones and Bong on a Drum owner, Tobe, had planned to get together earlier this week with a group of Wall Street investors to discuss their venture, but Tobe had not shown up for the meeting, and failed to call Jones beforehand. Thats cool, Jones said. Because I was completely out of it, and nobody else showed. London Financial Times reporter Berhard L. Timmons has monitored the efforts of the two shop owners closely. The floor of the Board of Trade is abuzz with talk of Jones and Tobes plan, he said. Hand-tooled pipe and incense-holder futures are historically skittish in the crucial first quarterthis could be the move that sends them through the roof. Jones and Tobe have missed the last three weeks of trading sessions because they were high. The two business leaders believe they can network instead at an upcoming hemp rally. There they may connect with a low-cost overseas fluorescent poster distributor whom Jones has heard will be in attendance. A partnership with this party will lower their collective overhead and give them the capital to back even larger, international expansion. It would be cool, Jones said, but if we had a shitload of stores, Id have to make tons more bead curtains, and I dont know if I could handle that. Their hope is eventually to sign a multi-million dollar licensing agreement to streamline and systemize production of items such as hand-painted drums, decorative pipes and one-of-a-kind bronze candle holders. To accomplish this goal, they need just one thing: I think we might need to write some kind of business proposal, Tobe said. I heard that you might need one of those to, like, show to people so they know you are a serious businessman. The entrepreneurs will carry out their plan as soon as they can locate Mitch, a third-year law student who once played in a band with Jones. They believe he can help them write any corporate documents necessary for their venture. One worry that could slow their ambitious corporate rise is that Mitch may have moved. I gotta find that dudes phone number, Jones said. I hope hes still living at that same place. Added Tobe: Yeah, if we find him, hell totally hook us up, because he always did us favors before and we used to get stoned together. 
3	Top Cases Where International Aid Was Used To Control PopulationsDebt, Vaccines and Food as a Weapon: When International Aid is Used for Population Control No strings attached? Yeah, right. Heres a rundown of some of the major ways that international loans are used to control entire populations. Those seeking dominance wield control in modern society largely through the manipulation of finance and economics. Power over entire countries comes not only through the debts themselves, but through the conditionalities tied to the financial agreement, as is done regularly by the IMF, World Bank and other aid programs. Notoriously, many locales free in name have been brought under the yoke of international domination, altering the shape of its development and its population. Heres a look at how the dangerous agendas tied to these loans have been used to takeover regions around the world for the benefits of the ruling global corporations. From: Truthstream News #2: How the Globalists Are Raping Africa (and the Rest of the World, Too): One overt example comes from John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, who claims that he was as an international agent of influence, to convinced leaders of developing nations to accept enormous development loans from institutions such as the World Bank, the IMF, USAID and others. These loans then gave leverage that effectively forced leaders to capitulate to political pressure and outside meddling. According to Perkins, these economic hitmen use extortion, sex and murder as well as the manipulation of documents, elections or official data to tilt the outcome desired by the lenders. GMO FOOD AID In 2002, several needy nations in southern Africa including Zambia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique controversially rejected food aid, despite being in the middle of a famine, because it was comprised of genetically modified crop staples. Leaders in these countries questioned the safety of biotech foods, expressed suspicions about hidden risks as well as contamination. The diplomatic row stirred emotions, with one supposedly anonymous USAID official telling the Africans beggars cant be choosers. But should even the poorest nations be forced to accept food they consider tainted? In U.S. occupied Iraq, an agricultural program was instituted under Paul Bremers 100 Orders that essentially forced farmers to use registered seeds controlled by biotech. It mandated a policy of Plant Variety Protection (PVP) that clearly favored corporate giants like Syngenta and Monsanto, while making it difficult or impossible to use heirloom seeds traditionally saved by farmers since the early days of the Fertile Crescent threatening the biodiversity and heritage of the regions rich agricultural history. This was complicated by the Inma Agribusiness Program, overseen by USAID and operated by members of Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture of the Texas AM System, who implemented new CAFO lots (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) to bring red meat cattle industries to the war torn nation, along with new fisheries and other mass produced food facilities. Monocrops of corn and soy were raised in Iraq to feed these livestock, much of which was genetically modified. USAID program guides (dated 2007) even advised Iraqi farmers on the use of Syngenta brand pesticides. ECONOMIC SHOCK THERAPY Shock therapy was implemented on various economies through Latin America, Russia and Eastern Europe under the banner of neo-liberalization, where sudden shifts to a market economy caused severe disruption and destabilization in the lives of the poorest. According to Naomi Kline, author of The Shock Doctrine, the hallmarks of economic Shock Therapy were implemented under warped, hyper-capitalism where transitioning markets were effectively pirate-ized (rather than privatized). Actions included structurally adjusted mass-privatizations, government deregulation, unrestricted free market access for foreign corporations, and deep cuts in social spending with repressive laws, harsh crackdowns and torture. Her colleague, Nobel Prize winner in economics, Joseph Stiglitz, who has held top positions at the World Bank, said: For Argentina, in the late 90s and early 2000s, it was hyper-inflationary debt, exacerbated by sharply increased rates by the Federal Reserve, at a time when wage drops led to government revenue drops and subsequent debt shortfalls. This was all complicated by IMF loans and their associated agenda. IMF RIOTS Greece: The consequences of the 2008 global economic crisis forced governments to bailout banks over risky loans and other side effects; many countries were devastated, with some of the worst fell on Greece, which not only threatened to drag down the rest of Europes economy with it, but led to violent unrest, new draconian leadership, and austerity, heavy debt and pushbacks in the average living standard for the population. IMF agreements controversially set in place job cuts, particularly in the public sector, a drop in the minimum wage and severe slashing to the budget for retirement and other benefits, all of which triggered shock and anger in the society. DEBT TRAPS FOR STRUGGLING COUNTRIES Jamaica + IMF Debt: The documentary Life + Debt profiled Jamaicas long struggle to overcome a first, a struggling developing economy, then sagging debt under an IMF loan, and further by the crippling conditions under the loan that forced it to import food, adjust agriculture to global preferences while out pricing Jamaica farmers, creating factory jobs with sweatshop conditions and even importing pools of cheap Chinese labor to the islands semi-autonomous Free Trade Zone.

A contract was handed over to the firm Aguas del Tunari (owned in part by the San Francisco-based contractor Bechtel) who denied people access to water, and even reportedly used militarized riot police to prevent the collection of rain water during its harsh transition to a (corporatized and captured) market economy. Even after immense backlash, the World Bank supported corporate privatization of the water, stating that no subsidies should be given to ameliorate the increase in water tariffs in Cochabamba also stating that poor governments are often too plagued by local corruption and too ill equipped to run public water systems efficiently. [and that the use of private corporations] opens the door to needed investment and skilled management. Aguas del Tunari was eventually forced to give up and leave the country. SPREAD OF DISEASE DURING DISASTER RELIEF Haiti Post-earthquake relief in 2010 by international organizations led by UN peacekeepers resulted in the spread of cholera to Haitian residents, killing thousands. Vengeful and suspicious of the source, lynchmobs killed Voodoo priests and angrily protested the United Nations encampments, casting blame on these sources. A scientific investigation indeed proved that a UN camp had supposedly-unintentionally spread the disease through a contamination wastewater source, resulting in lawsuits. As of April 2014, the U.N. is still struggling to contain the spread of cholera, making for a volatile destructive force in the already poverty stricken and disaster ravaged island nation. IN WAKE OF POLIO VACCINE, 47,500 CASES OF NON-POLIO PARALYSIS Pakistan, India and Polio Vaccines Despite the fact that the World Health Organization recorded no new cases of polio in India for 2012, signaling its rapid disappearance as a major threat, the private foundations led by the Bill Melinda Gates foundation were aggressively vaccinating millions upon millions of children in India and Pakistan. Doctors Pulliyel and Vashisht conducted a study finding that in 2012 with no cases of polio approximately 47,500 children were diagnosed with non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP), which is twice as deadly as polio, in the areas where the oral polio vaccine was administered. SUSPICION, BACKLASH AGAINST VACCINES: BEWARE OF THOSE BEARING GIFTS With distrust and concerns about Western-led vaccination efforts in Pakistan following revelations that U.S. intelligence used a fake vaccination program in a sting to hunt Osama bin Laden, Pakistan Taliban groups were blamed for killing several vaccine workers and bombing vaccination vans in 2012. In 2013, at least 9 vaccine workers were shot in Nigeria. These deaths closely followed reports that at least 40-50 children were paralyzed in Chad, Africa from Gates-foundation backed Meningitis shots in late 2012. COVERT INFERTILITY FROM VACCINES? 1994-96 Philippines: Tetanus vaccines supplied by a World Health Organization-sponsored vaccine effort were found to be tainted with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), correlating with numerous reports of terminated pregnancies and spontaneous abortions. Necessary for a healthy pregnancy, hCG becomes an anti-fertility agent when carried by the tetanus vaccine, which produces antibodies against hCG when tetanus antibodies are also produced. The BBC reported in 1995: It during the mid-1990s that an anti-fertility vaccine for women was announced that used human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) growth hormone in a tetanus vaccine to trigger an immunoresponse against the pregnancy. As Jurriaan Maessan uncovered, The work on LHRH and HCG vaccines was supported by research grants of The Rockefeller Foundation. FOOD AS A WEAPON OF DEPOPULATION In 1974, Henry Kissinger issued the then-secret NSSM 200, a National Security Memo identifying 13 key countries where the use of food as a weapon was desired to contain overpopulation (supposedly a top threat to U.S. national security). India was at the top of the list. FOOD-FOR-COERCIVE STERILIZATION SCANDALS: INDIAS GREAT EMERGENCY India: Food aid delivered to India through USAID since at least the Johnson Administration has included population control and family planning efforts. This pressure peaked during the 1975-77 Emergency under Indira Gandhi where the government, backed by international aid organizations, forcibly sterilized more than 8.3 million low caste Indians primarily women, but also many men in notorious medical camps. Included in this horror, are reports of systematic abuse, with incentives for turning people in for sterilization and even grabbing people off the street. These efforts were led by Indiras son Sanjay Gandhi (incidentally, these leaders were from the Nehru family and not related to Indias founding father Mohatma Gandhi, but used his name in the quest for power). Please watch Melissa Meltons intensely researched report on coercive population control measures in India, using food [and other incentives] as a weapon. Further Reading: 
3	Why Celebrating Independence From The New World Order Is Even More ImportantBernie Suarez At the highest level of federal government power and at the globalist level, however, Im imagining there is a quiet dislike for the celebration of Independence Day and what it stands for. Sure well see celebrations across the country but take a closer look. Sports leagues like Major League Baseball and many other organized entertainment events throughout the country will use this day to worship the military and their wars of aggression against other sovereign nations. They will twist the meaning of this day to feed their pro-war (war on terror) agenda and have millions of people honoring the military instead of honoring and celebrating freedom from tyranny. In the troubled times we live in, it is just as important to declare freedom from not only the British Monarchy but from the current new world order agenda, the United Nations and globalist schemes. Even in the best case scenario this current enemy of freedom (the globalists pushing for one world government) is as much a threat to freedom as the British Monarchy was. Given that the globalist new world order agenda is the greatest enemy of the Constitution, this day should also be a day when Americans remind themselves of just how evil the new world order agenda is and how important it is to be freed from it too. It is the antithesis of freedom and the fundamentals of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The mission of the United Nations is directly opposed to the principles of the United States Constitution. The U.N. Charter suggests that the United Nations is a final authority tasked with caring for the world and all life on earth. It completely ignores the existence of any higher power, and it ignores the inalienable rights of the human being. Instead, it gives itself the obligation to protect humanity as if it, itself, is god. Seeing this contrast, on this Independence Day, is extremely important for anyone who cares about freedom and liberty. So on this special day, let us truly celebrate freedom and remind others that without freedom we are all slaves. As Thomas Jefferson reminded us, without the federal government actually being afraid of the masses, there is tyranny. Lets thus use this day to brainstorm for new ideas on how to get federal government to fear the people. I want federal government to be afraid of any website that posts this article, not the other way around. Let us not harbor any fear whatsoever of the federal government who now enjoys unconstitutional temporary powers not given to it by the Constitution but given to them by the likes of the NSA, the corporate media and the corrupt court system. Likewise, let us celebrate freedom from the new world order and all global bodies and criminals who attempt to subvert our basic rights, the Constitution and the principles of freedom. On this day, let us all push for a world where federal government has essentially no power except whatever we-the-people give it. Let us push for a world where every single piece of data collected by NSA is by default inadmissible in court and of no value whatsoever. Lets push for a world where we finally starve out the NSA machine and force it to close its doors. Let us push for the establishment of a true international judicial body to protect humanity from those who have committed human rights violations world-wide. Let us push to fight back and restore our nation, our pride and our Constitution. We must all come together in the spirit of 1776 all over again. This battle for freedom versus fascism is not and will not ever go away. Freedom itself is a flame that never goes out. This fight for freedom requires extremely brave men and women to be dedicated and focused on the task at hand. Things in America will get much worse before they get better, and the sooner we realize the importance and full meaning of Independence day, the sooner well have a chance to turn this thing around. Declaring freedom from the British Monarchy without declaring freedom from the new world order is now an irrational thing to do since it makes no rational historical sense. Let us not be naive about our current situation. Independence from a controlling government is at the root of what America is all about, and the threat she is under at the hands of a more threatening (than the British Monarchy) new world order system, is as big a threat as she has ever faced. Humanity right now is in a desperate all-out effort to save itself from government, and we have to acknowledge this and act like we understand the consciousness of our times. One would not expect a normal society to both be under tyrannical oppression while at the same time celebrate freedom; but amazingly writer George Orwell did foresee this scenario which we can see in full effect today. Lets set purpose to apply the meaning of Independence Day properly and in the proper time frame and context. We owe this level of integrity to ourselves and generations that follow. I assert this day that we need to secure full independence from the new world order and then look back at historic accomplishments as a secondary thing. We cannot solve the problems happening now if we are still dancing and celebrating battles of the past. Especially when the thing that we are celebrating is the very thing currently being taken away. Lets instead remain extra vigilant and fly our freedom flags at half mast until we have reason to raise them all the way. Thats right, given the massive assault on freedom that we have seen in America, I say we should fly our flags at half mast. Then, and perhaps only then, will many begin to see the nature of this urgent situation. Bernie Suarez is an activist, critical thinker, radio host, musician, M.D, Veteran, lover of freedom and the Constitution, and creator of the Truth and Art TV project. He also has a background in psychology and highly recommends that everyone watch a documentary titled The Century of the Self. Bernie has concluded that the way to defeat the New World Order is to truly be the change that you want to see. Manifesting the solution and putting truth into action is the very thing that will defeat the globalists. 
2	Trump Shocks Supports With Massive Announcement After a rumor-sparking delay, Donald Trump has finally agreed to three debates with Hillary Clinton. Reports indicate that he was only willing to commit after agreeing upon a series of conditions. This week, Trump announced that he will be negotiating the terms upon which the debates will take place. The first debate will be held on Sept. 26 in Hempstead, New York, followed by a debate in St. Louis on Oct. 9 and in Las Vegas on Oct. 19. I will absolutely do three debatesI want to debate very badly, Trump commented in an interview with Time magazine. But I have to see the conditions. One of those conditions is that the Republican candidate have a say on who the debates moderators are. This stems from the infamous incident between Trump and Megyn Kelly, which lead Trump to believe he was treated unfairly. Ill have to see who the moderators are, Trump said of the debates. Yeah, I would say that certain moderators would be unacceptable, absolutely. I want to have fair moderators. I will demand fair moderators. The Commission on Presidential Debates has maintained that the debate format is non-negotiable, but Trump believes he will have a say in that too. I renegotiated the debates in the primaries, remember? Trump argued. They were making a fortune on them and they had us in for three and a half hours and I said thats ridiculous. Im sure theyll be open to any suggestions I have, because I think theyll be very fair suggestions. Trump also commented that he believes that his performance in debates bodes well for him. According to the polls, I won all of them, he commented. So I look forward to the debates. What do you think of Trumps strategy? Do you appreciate his flair for negotiation or is he alienating himself? 
1	Speculating that he probably believes he looks all cool in his hip little outfit, patrons at the Roosevelt Field Shopping Mall told reporters Saturday that the mannequin in the window of Urban Outfitters must think hes some pretty hot shit. Look at himcocky fuck, said Michael Burke, 34, of the pretty-boy mannequin posturing in front of everyone like some kind of famous celebrity. Up there dressed in his brand-new designer jeans, beanie hat, and that cool puffy vest. Who does he think he is? Yeah, yeah, were all really impressed, added Burke. Asshole. According to mall sources, the audacious 6-foot, 2-inch-tall plastic dummy, who stood in the display shamelessly flaunting his perfectly chiseled physique with a smug fucking smile on his smooth, beautiful face, was staring off into space barely even noticing passersby, as if hes somehow better than all of them. The little prick, eyewitnesses confirmed. God, he is just so self-involved, said Nathan Carlson, 39, noting that the smarmy mannequin was looking all suave with his arm to one side, making a cool guy gesture. He just stands there expecting us all to pay attention to him, pretending like he doesnt care at all. Jesus, give me a break. The show-off mannequin, who sources said acts like he owns the whole fucking mall, reportedly always hangs out with the same stupid little posse of stuck-up mannequin buddies, including the hunky guy with the cardigan and the dickhead in the leather jacket. His girlfriend too, that bitch, said Kevin Lane, 29, noting her gorgeous, milky-white fiberglass body and all-American good looks. Shes pretty hot, but shes so shallowI mean, youd have to be to go around with that douchebag boyfriend of hers. What does he have that I dont have? added Lane. Grudgingly admitting that the mannequin dressed very well, had excellent skin, and possessed the confidence to pull it all off, observers stated that the mannequin did not deserve his glamorous lifestyle and questioned how the plastic dummy could possibly be so lucky. Eyewitnesses then confided to reporters that they privately wished they too could muster the mannequins calm, effortless poise, if only so they would have the courage go up to him one day and take the narcissistic jerk down a notch. He rules this place for now, but if he thinks this is going to last forever, hes got another thing coming, said shopper Gerald Franklin, 30, who predicted that one day the egomaniac mannequin would regret acting like such an aloof dickhead. Sooner or later Ill put that bastard in his place, and then hes gonna fall. Hes gonna fall hard. Ah, who the hell am I kidding? continued Franklin after a brief pause. Look at me. Look at him. Hes got everything. Hes tall, hes handsomeI mean, he landed her after all, didnt he? How am I ever going to compete with that? After staring at the mannequin for several more minutes, shoppers reportedly concluded that they could perhaps become more like the mannequin by purchasing some of the clothes he was wearing. 
3	Raw Milk Farmer in Double Jeopardy Case Found GuiltyHeather Callaghan Initially he was facing six charges in Stearns county his home county three of which are identical to the ones he was acquitted of in September in Hennepin county. Those included selling raw milk, operating without a food license, and handling adulterated food. Schlangen facilitated a private food club and even did free deliveries. The trial lasted three days and ended with sentencing on Thursday. The counts:1. Operating without a food handlers license;2. Storing eggs at temperatures above the mandated 45 degrees (Schlangen kept them at 50 for his food club members);3. Distributing adulterated or misbranded food; 4. Violating a food embargo;5. Selling custom processed meat. One raw milk charge had been dropped before the trialbut, played a big focus in the trial and punishment. The September acquittal was heralded on Facebook even months later. But many didnt realize he was quietly being slammed again in a different county on the same charges with more added in the mix. Furthermore, the case and pending court date were dragged out, perhaps in an attempt to make the support for him wane. A six-person jury found him guilty on all five counts. Original punishment carrieda maximum fine of $5,000 plus up to 15-months jail time; but the judge gave him one year on probation; and if he violates the terms, Alvin will have to serve the 90 days in jail that was suspended and pay the $700 balance of the fine [the judge actually fined Alvin $1,000 but suspended $700 of it. (Source) Hansen, also a member of the private buying club, says the members raw milk supply is in jeopardy the judge strangely included this in the probation even though that charge was dropped from the trial. He notes that prosecution worked really hard to get a conviction. A sleight-of-hand, they brought in a bunch of food producer managers and owners as witnesses to give the appearance that Schlangen himself was operating a retail food establishment or food company. Private food buying clubs, of course, couldnt be further away from grocers, restaurants, industrial farms, and big food companies. Not open to the public, the contractual members often oversee and participate in the production of the foods THEY WANT, NEED, and OWN. There are myriad health issues that require these types of farm quality and organic foods that are not available in the markets (and even if there werent, who cares if people want to support local?). Even well-known big organic food producers are not always as they appear because they can fall back on slack and confusing FDA and USDA regulation, quality management, and labeling. Gumpert asks: Jury nullification has spread far and wide in Minnesota and helped Alvin with his win the first time around but in the next town over the whole panel found him guilty on all five charges? This is clearly a case of control, shamelessly arguing the licensing issue and how the MDA came back to slam Alvin with the same charges he already was acquitted of by a jury. They dont want to cause an uproar by jailing a peaceful farmer they just want to make sure he cant function and the food goes to waste. The State will stop at nothing! Updates available: Please consider donating to Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund on behalf of Alvin for him and his family during this legal battle.

1	A study released Monday by researchers at the University of Florida indicates a strong link between domestic violence against women and burned pot roasts. 'After five years of research, we have found a direct causal link between overcooked, poorly prepared dinners and spousal abuse,' Florida sociology professor and study head Dr. Patrick Redmond said. Study data was gathered from interviews, police records, and first-hand observations conducted between 5 and 8 p.m., the hours during which a majority of American men come home from a long, hard day at work and expect a hot meal to be waiting for them on the table. According to one 42-year-old male study participant, abuse in his home occurs most frequently 'when I sit down at the table, and I gotta eat a goddamn black roast because the broad was yapping on the phone with her mother's hospice unit nurse again.' In addition to unsatisfactorily prepared meals, the study found that a number of other factors were linked to domestic violence, including: always nagging about getting the roof fixed, blocking the TV when the big game is on, and repeatedly demanding to know exactly what goes on at that bar all day and night. While domestic violence is widespread, Redmond said there are steps women can take to protect themselves. 'Based on interviews we conducted with more than 1,000 abusive men, women can significantly reduce safety risks by quickly responding to requests of 'Get me another beer,' and making sure that the beer is cold, in addition to making sure that non-burned pot roasts are served hot and in a timely fashion,' said Gregory Ormond of the New York-based Family Crisis Center. 'Further,' Ormond added, 'a majority of the wife batterers we spoke to indicated that it wouldn't hurt if their spouses took a little effort to make themselves appear more attractive once in a while.' Interviews with abusive men also indicated that women who 'let themselves go' and 'balloon up' shortly after the first few years of marriage are 20 percent more likely to get pasted right in their fat faces, Redmond said. In addition to interviews, the Florida researchers conducted a wide range of laboratory experiments involving women who live with abusive partners. Among the experiments' findings: When the smell of burned pot roast is combined with the simulated sound of a station wagon pulling into a driveway, 43 percent of the women were observed to burst into tears instantaneously. Upon learning of the study, American Women's Health Council president Marsha Hauge expressed hope that its findings will spark a reduction in future incidents of domestic abuse. 'Education is the key,' Hauge said. 'Women need to know there are places to go for help. It isn't easy to make good, tender pot roast, or even, in some cases, turkey casserole.' Hauge noted that AWHC plans to offer free classes across the country dealing with proper meat preparation. 'Spousal abuse can be prevented,' Redmond said. 'Our research shows that all these men are asking for is a little peace and quiet, and a hot meal each night. Is that too much to ask?' 
1	After a lackluster performance in his teams playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts, reports emerged Wednesday that Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning played the entire 2014 season with a 38-year-old body. Many had suspected something was wrong as Mannings numbers dipped during the second half of the season, but he was able to hide the precise nature of his 38-year-old body from coaches, teammates, and the media, said ESPNs Adam Schefter, adding that the teams midseason shift to a more run-heavy offense was made in an effort to keep the 14-time Pro Bowler from further aggravating his nearly-four-decades-old bones, tendons, and musculature. Manning was often seen grimacing on the sidelines and was visibly frustrated at being hampered by a 38-year-old body during games. But the situation unfortunately only worsened as he tried to play through it. Reached for comment, sources from the Broncos medical staff expressed pessimism over Mannings future, warning that he will put himself at significant risk if he opts to play next season with a 39-year-old body. 
1	Unemployed father Daniel Spencer, 42, has reportedly spent the past several weeks focusing all his time and energy on transforming his home into a haunted house for Halloween. Spencer, who was laid off in February when the Silgan Plastics Corp. closed its local plant, has worked long hours each day on schematics for the layout of the haunted house, collecting materials, constructing props, and planning a variety of ways to scare visitors. 'The neighborhood kids are really going to get a kick out of this,' said Spencer, who was previously responsible for managing more than 130 employees and once hoped to work his way up to a position at the executive level. 'It's going to be scary as heck. I made this really cool dead body by stuffing my old work uniform with a bunch of rags, and then I hung it from the big oak tree out front with a rope.' 'And wait until they get a load of the glow-in-the-dark skeleton I'm putting in the attic window,' the now- uninsured Spencer added. 'It's going to spook the pants off people.' According to family sources, Spencer's weekly schedule for the past month has consisted of working two to three hours on the haunted house in the morning, watching television from the couch for a short period after lunch, and then spending the remainder of the afternoon and early evening putting the finishing touches on decorations and his resum. The father of three confirmed that after a recent unsuccessful job interview, he went on a shopping run and found a number of discounted Styrofoam balls, which he described as 'perfect for making ghosts and spiders.' 'And then later, just by chance, I happened to stumble across our cassette tape of spooky sound effects while clearing out some of my old work files from the crawl space,' said Spencer, adding that he was glad he had found so much time during the past month to search online for haunted-house decorating tips. 'Turns out, a lot of great supplies are right here in our own house. That's what's great about this whole project, you can really make a top-notch haunted house while spending almost nothing.' 'Like when I made gravestones in the front yard using pieces of cardboard and spray paint,' Spencer continued. 'I also had plans to turn our station wagon into a hearse, but we had to trade it in for the hatchback.' According to Spencer, he initially intended to create a haunted house in the garage as part of an effort to cheer up his son Andrew, 11, who was still disappointed that he didn't get an Xbox 360 for his birthday. Spencer said the project gradually expanded to include a basement dungeon and a crypt on the patio. 'I told my wife that we still have the space for the time being, so we might as well use it,' Spencer said. 'Plus, you should have seen the kids' faces when I told them Daddy was going to turn the basement into a dungeon for Halloween. They just lit up, they were so happy.' After tripling the size of the haunted house, Spencer said, it seemed only natural to open the venue to the public and charge a small entrance fee of $2. 'I'm not in it for the money, of coursethis is just so the kids can have a good time,' he said. 'But if I happen to recoup the cost of supplies, so be it.' Sources confirmed Spencer has also enlisted a number of friends, neighbors, and laid-off former coworkers to help out, with some dressing as monsters and others rapidly turning the overhead lights on and off to create a makeshift strobe effect. Andrew Spencer, who assisted his father by peeling grapes for the bowl of eyeballs, was impressed by his unemployed dad's efforts. 'He's really good at this, because he used to be a manager at the plastic factory,' the fifth-grader said. 'Now he's managing a haunted house.' 
2	Fans Shocked After Miranda Lambert Makes THIS Sad Announcement According to recent reports, it has just been confirmed that country star Blake Shelton is dating fellow The Voice judge Gwen Stefani. The news comes shortly after his divorce with Miranda Lambert. Lambert has been openly saddened by the divorce, and recently broke down during her song Bathroom Sink at a recent award show. Im still floating around on a cloud from last night, Lambert wrote. Thank you so much @cma for celebrating country music in a big way and for letting me be a part of it. Today was a day spent reflecting on this amazing life that Nashville and country music fans have given me. And my friends, Im so grateful #inspired #gypsyyanner #nomakeuptillnextweek #musicismedicine #chrisstapleton #unicorn #ponyportrait One source claims that Lambert is not surprised about the relationship between the two co-stars. They were always pretty flirty, the insider source told reporters. Miranda and Blake were on the rocks on and off and knew that this could always be a possibility. What do you think? Do you support Miranda? 
3	New Worldwide Campaign to Stop TortureBy Joe Wright Despite the fact that most Americans disagree with the indefinite detention and torture provisions contained within the National Defense Authorization Act, and citizens worldwide overwhelmingly believe that torture should be prohibited, the global War on Terror in the wake of 9/11 has most certainly unleashed a new wave of depraved torture techniques under the thin guise of terms such as enhanced interrogation. But that is only part of the story. Because of the widespread use of CIA rendition black sites overseas much of the very worst forms of torture are hidden in countries where it has previously been acceptable or routinely overlooked. Now that even First World Western nations are openly discussing the value of torture for intelligence gathering, and torture continues to be legitimized by the U.S. legal system, the worldwide commitment by governments to eradicate torture is waning. Consequently, the use of torture is exploding. The Convention Against Torture was adopted by the UN in 1984. Regardless, as Amnesty Internationals Secretary General Salil Shetty states: Governments around the world are two-faced on torture prohibiting it in law, but facilitating it in practice Torture is not just alive and well it is flourishing in many parts of the world. As more governments seek to justify torture in the name of national security, the steady progress made in this field over the last thirty years is being eroded. Amnesty International is seeking to address this erosion of human rights through a new global campaign simply called: Stop Torture. Their video and press release are posted below. For people of good conscience, it is a depressing and revolting subject, but we need to act now to thwart further abuse. We can do this by telling governments around the world that torture is never acceptable under any circumstances, nor are justifications for torture-light going to be tolerated. People inside the system also need to begin refusing to cooperate with such directives, understanding that history has never been kind to previous regimes and their enforcers who have felt justified opening the floodgates of torture under calls for stronger national security. Lastly, we can never forget that what is permitted in times of war has a way of trickling down into the everyday lives of the people supposedly being protected from the threat of terrorism. One only has to look at the growth of the police state and the increasingly brutal police tactics and treatment of average citizens to see that this cancer is already spreading. From Amnesty International: Since 1984, 155 states have ratified the UN Convention Against Torture, 142 of which are researched by Amnesty International. In 2014, Amnesty International observed at least 79 of these still torturing more than half the states party to the Convention that the organisation reports on. A further 40 UN states havent adopted the Convention, although the global legal ban on torture binds them too. Over the last five years, Amnesty International has reported on torture and other forms of ill-treatment in at least 141 countries from every region of the world virtually every country on which it works. The secretive nature of torture means the true number of countries that torture is likely to be higher still. In some of these countries torture is routine and systematic. In others, Amnesty International has only documented isolated and exceptional cases. The organization finds even one case of torture or other ill-treatment totally unacceptable. The Stop Torture campaign launches with a new media briefing, Torture in 2014: 30 Years of Broken Promises, which provides an overview of the use of torture in the world today. The briefing details a variety of torture techniques from stress positions and sleep deprivation to electrocution of the genitals used against criminal suspects, security suspects, dissenting voices, political rivals and others. As part of the campaign Amnesty International commissioned a Globescan survey to gauge worldwide attitudes to torture. Alarmingly, the survey found nearly half (44%) of respondents from 21 countries across every continent fear they would be at risk of torture if taken into custody in their country. The vast majority (82%) believe there should be clear laws against torture. However, more than a third (36%) still thought torture could be justified in certain circumstances. The results from this new global survey are startling, with nearly half of the people we surveyed feeling fearful and personally vulnerable to torture. The vast majority of people believe that there should be clear rules against torture, although more than a third still think that torture could be justified in certain circumstances. Overall, we can see broad global support amongst the public for action to prevent torture, said Caroline Holme, Director at GlobeScan. Measures such as the criminalisation of torture in national legislation, opening detention centres to independent monitors, and video recording interrogations have all led to a decrease in the use of torture in those countries taking their commitments under the Convention Against Torture seriously. The organizations global work against torture continues, but will focus in particular on five countries where torture is rife and Amnesty International believes it can achieve significant impact. Substantive reports with specific recommendations for each will form the spine of the campaign. Thirty years ago Amnesty led the campaign for a worldwide commitment to combat torture resulting in the UNs Convention Against Torture. Much progress has been made since, but it is disheartening that today we still need a worldwide campaign to ensure that those promises are fulfilled, said Salil Shetty.

1	The Milwaukee Bucks home game against the New York Knicks was relegated to the basement of the Bradley Center Tuesday, arena president Steve Costello announced to reporters, saying he was forced to hold the more popular Smucker's Stars On Ice event in the main venue. 'Normally only 200 to 300 people are in attendance for most Bucks games, so the basement will provide plenty of room,' Costello said, adding that the Bradley Center's basement had a quaint and intimate atmosphere most NBA fans never get a chance to experience. 'Every figure-skating event we host sells out, while it costs more for us to keep the lights on during Bucks game than we make off of ticket sales.' Costello said that when he created the event schedule for the year, he naturally assumed the Bucks season would either be over by now or that ownership would have moved the team to another city.

3	Top 1% Own 39% Of All Global Wealth: Hoarding Soars As We Hurtle Toward Economic OblivionMichael Snyder Well, one of the primary ways is through the use of debt. As I have written about previously, there is about 190 trillion dollars of debt in the world but global GDP is only about 70 trillion dollars. Our debt-based global financial system systematically transfers wealth from us and our governments into the hands of the global elite. And of course the gigantic banks and corporations that the elite control are constantly gobbling up everything of value that they can find: natural resources, profitable small businesses, real estate, politicians, etc. Money, power, ownership and control are becoming very, very tightly concentrated at the top of the food chain, and that is a very dangerous thing for humanity. When too much money and power gets into too few hands, it almost always results in tyranny. What will eventually happen when the global elite have ALL the wealth? Will the rest of us work as serfs in a system that they have iron-fisted control over? And what if they decide that they dont really need billions of people working for them? Will they decide to implement population control measures in order to reduce the number of useless eaters? It is already happening in China and other highly centralized societies. When all of the economic rewards of a society go to a very small handful of people, it tends to be very destabilizing. We have seen this again and again throughout history. -The wealthiest 1 percent of the global population now owns 39 percent of all the wealth on the planet. -According to a report that was released last summer, the global elite have up to 32 TRILLION dollars stashed in offshore banks around the planet. -According to a study conducted by Credit Suisse, the bottom two-thirds of the global population owns just 3.3% of all the wealth. -A study by the World Institute for Development Economics Research discovered that the bottom half of the world population owns approximately 1 percent of all global wealth. -It is estimated that the entire continent of Africa only owns approximately 1 percent of the total wealth of the world. -Approximately 1 billion people throughout the world go to bed hungry each night. -If you can believe it, more than 3 billion people currently live on less than 2 dollar a day. In the world that we live in, money equals power. And the more money that the top one percent accumulate, the more power they will accumulate as well. So exactly who are the top one percent? I discussed this at length in my previous article entitled Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings. The global elite are absolutely obsessed with power and control and they have been working to implement their agenda for a very long time. In the end, they hope to unite the entire planet under a monolithic global system that they control. They are actually quite open about this it is just that most people do not want to believe it. The gap between the wealthy and the poor is rapidly growing in the United States as well. Sadly, this means that the middle class is steadily disappearing as the ranks of those that are living in poverty continues to increase. But of course not everyone is doing badly in the U.S. right now. In fact, those that own stocks have had lots of reasons to celebrate in recent months. So who owns stocks? Well, the wealthy do of course. In fact, approximately 60 percent of all individually held stocks are owned by the top 5 percent of all Americans. During the last recession, Americans lost 16 trillion dollars of wealth. Since then, about 45 percent of that wealth has been recovered, but the vast majority of that recovery has been due to rising stock prices. The following comes from a recent Washington Post article From the peak of the boom to the bottom of the bust, households watched a total of $16 trillion in wealth disappear amid sinking stock prices and the rubble of the real estate market. Since then, Americans have only been able to recapture 45 percent of that amount on average, after adjusting for inflation and population growth, according to the report from the St. Louis Fed released Thursday. In addition, the report showed most of the improvement was due to gains in the stock market, which primarily benefit wealthy families. That means the recovery for other households has been even weaker. A conclusion that the financial damage of the crisis and recession largely has been repaired is not justified, the report stated. Once upon a time, the United States had the largest and most thriving middle class in the history of the world. That was a great thing. But now the middle class is being destroyed and government dependence has surged to an all-time high. The following are some of the incredible statistics that show how wide the gap between the wealthy and the poor in America is becoming -The wealthiest 1 percent of all Americans now own more than a third of all the wealth in the United States. -In the United States today, the wealthiest one percent of all Americans have a greater net worth than the bottom 90 percent combined. -According to Forbes, the 400 wealthiest Americans have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combined. -The six heirs of Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton have as much wealth as the bottom one-third of all Americans combined. -On average, households in the top 7 percent have 24 times as much wealth as households in the bottom 93 percent. -Between 2009 and 2011, the wealth of the bottom 93 percent of all Americans declined by 4 percent, while the wealth of the top 7 percent of all Americans increased by 28 percent. -The poorest 50 percent of all Americans collectively own just 2.5% of all the wealth in the United States. -The top 0.01% of all Americans make an average of $27,342,212. The bottom 90% make an average of $31,244. For much more on how poverty is rising and the middle class is being destroyed, please see my recent article entitled 22 Facts That Prove That The Bottom 90 Percent Of America Is Systematically Getting Poorer.

1	Ellen Brinkworth, a 37-year-old homemaker from the upscale San Francisco suburb of Sausalito, enjoys spending her free time engaged in the back-breaking labors of a 19th-century pioneer woman. Brinkworth and one of her handmade candles. 'My friend Linda came over Saturday and we spent the whole day making soap,' Brinkworth said. 'We made some absolutely gorgeous shell-shaped pink hand soaps and some wonderful oatmeal facial-scrub bars. And it was so easy: All you do is dissolve lye in water, weigh out the hard and liquid oils, melt it on the stove to 110 degrees, stir until smooth, add fragrances, pour it into the molds you've pre-lined, wait for it to harden, cut it into blocks, and presto!' In all, Brinkworth devoted nearly 10 hours to soap-making, a task which, until the late 20th century, was not considered an enjoyable leisure-time activity. She also spent all day Friday shopping for the necessary ingredients and supplies, which included eucalyptus oil, fresh rosemary leaves, lavender essential oil, colored wax, lye, coconut oil, palm oil, glycerin, rubbing alcohol, various fruits and dried flowers, and a soap mold. Soap-making is not the only arduous 19th-century chore Brinkworth enjoys in her spare time. She also dips her own candles, re-upholsters foot stools, and makes her own clay pots. 'It's so neat to make something with your own hands,' Brinkworth said. 'There's nothing more pleasurable than spending a lazy Sunday afternoon churning butter.' According to Brinkworth, her love of grueling chores was inspired by author and television personality Martha Stewart. Brinkworth religiously watches Martha Stewart Living, a throwback to a time when women spent upwards of 14 hours a day maintaining the home. On last week's episode, Stewart showed viewers how to hand-dye cloth with the natural coloring found in flowers, plant roots, and bits of barka grinding, laborious task still performed in developing nations where commercial dyes are not available. 'I absolutely adore Martha,' Brinkworth said. 'I've gotten so many terrific ideas from her, like how to pick your own wild berries and make preserves out of them and how to refinish antique garden hand tools. I even saw an episode which showed Martha in her own hen house. Raising your own chickenswouldn't that be so fun?' According to Danielle Huson of the Bay Area Historical Society, for thousands of years, raising chickens was not considered 'fun.' 'Women used to do things like dye cloth, spin wool, and make candles as cost-saving measures, or because they lived too far from a major town to purchase these items,' Huson said. 'They certainly didn't do it for pleasure. In the 1800s, the average frontierswoman toiled all day long, and on the rare occasion that she had a moment of free time, she usually spent it letting her bloody calluses heal.' Brinkworth's favorite activity is quiltmaking, an eye-straining, finger-numbing task which originated as a way to make use of small scraps of leftover cloth. Said Huson: 'In centuries past, many women didn't have a lot of fabric for blankets, so they were forced to make quilts out of whatever bits and pieces were lying around. Of course, to mimic these elaborate patterns, modern quilters buy yards of brand-new cloth from fabric stores and cut them up to resemble precious scraps.' 'It's so fun to make quilts and do different crafts,' said Brinkworth, removing a hand-sewn quilt from the washing machine and tossing it into the dryer. 'I swear, sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century.'

According to our figures, Blakes from coast to coast have secured more than half of all available lifeguarding jobs, cruising through fitness, CPR, and swimming trials with ease, American Red Cross president Gail McGovern said, adding that the lifeguard staffs at over 200 municipal pools, seashores, and water parks would be composed entirely of Blakes this summer. And in addition to Blakes, the countrys Bryces, Gavins, and Rykers also had no trouble passing the various tests. Although, as usual, not a single Saul was offered a position. At press time, the nations Blakes were putting on a pair of wraparound Oakley sunglasses and twirling a lanyard keychain around their fingers. 
1	In a finding that provides new insight into the roots of Western civilization, a team of anthropologists from Cambridge University announced Monday the discovery of an ancient Greek super PAC that helped shape the worlds first democracy. At the same time Cleisthenes first instituted a representative form of government in Athens, it appears that a group of wealthy citizens and merchants created an organization to influence these new voters by bombarding them with around-the-clock political messages, lead researcher Daniel Rogers said of the early political action committee, named Athenians for a Better City-State, which is said to have received millions of drachmas worth of funding in gold, lambs, dates, loaves of bread, and slaves from Athens largest and most influential trade groups. While the committee was prohibited from coordinating directly with candidates seeking public office, AFBCS nevertheless spent astonishing sums on orators hired to stand in the Agora and recite the negative traits of politicians that the super PAC opposed, as well as on writers who were hired to pen slanderous epic poems. Researchers also reportedly found evidence that the early super PACs influence extended beyond elections, noting that it was the driving force behind a number of laws that lowered business taxes, protected the worship of the gods in schools, and authorized war against Sparta in an effort to plunder their geographic rivals large olive oil reserves. 
2	Michelle Malkin Destroys Hosts Of The View For Promoting Obamas Lies Michelle Malkin is a well-respect author and columnist who frequently appears on Fox News and other conservative media outlets to share her expert opinion. In fact, many consider her a close second to Ann Coulter as the most accurate proponents in all of conservative media. In stark contrast, The View hosts some of the most ridiculous liberal extremists weve ever seen. Topping that list is Joy Behar, who likes to voice her opinion with little experience to back up anything she says. This time, Malkin had enough. She went head-to-head with Behar as they discussed her book about corruption in the Obama campaign. Watch the segment below and tell us what you think. 
2	Welfare Recipients Too Fat To Work Get Ridiculous Benefits This story will have your blood boiling. There is now a show about obese people who claim disability benefits. Yes, apparently weight is common enough a reason to claim benefits that there is a show about it. One obese couple featured on the show even had taxpayers fund their wedding. Coombe, a woman weighing more than 320 pounds, claims that she has never had a job in her life. Beer, her husband, weighs more than 430 pounds and hasnt worked in five years. For many of those years, he has relied on caretakers to clean and dress him. Together, this couple receives more than $3,000 in government benefits. Producers followed the pair as they planned their wedding, which ended up costing taxpayers $4,500. What do you think? Do people like this need to be cut off immediately? 
3	GM Wheat May Permanently Alter Human Genome, Spark Early DeathAnthony Gucciardi The GM wheat developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) using public funds is engineered to turn off genes permanently. The organizations intent to turn off wheat genes, however, could affect human and animal genes. Through ingestion, these molecules can enter human beings and potentially silence our genes, says Professor Jack Heinemann of the University of Canterburys Centre for Integrated Research in Biosafety. His report was published in Digital Journal. The wheat genes intended to be silenced are known as SEI, the sequence of which are classified by CSIRO. What experts know about SEI is that parts of it match the human GBE gene sequence. GBE dictates glycogen storage, without which the liver scars and causes death in children. Adults with malfunctioning GBE genes can experience cognitive impairment, pyramidal quadriplegia, peripheral neuropathy, and neurogenic bladder. The findings are absolutely assured, insists Heinemann. There is no doubt that these matches exist. No doubt, agribusiness will swoop to CSIROs rescue and claim that Heinemanns findings are irrelevant. Monsanto, however, uses this same tactic in its genetically modified plants. The plants are engineered to produce dsRNA that survives digestion in the insect, shuts down genes, stunts growth, and kills it. This may be welcome news for some, given one biotech scientists email not only acknowledging the risks of disease and reproductive difficulties inherent in GMO consumption but also praising it as a remedy for global over-population. Agribusiness has gone to great lengths to silence skeptics of GMOs The Food and Drug Administrationwhich abounds in ties to agribusinessdeleted 1 million signatures for a GMO labeling campaign. Monsanto has been burning millions of dollars to campaign against GMO labeling. Depending on the poll, about 93% of Americans advocate GMO labeling. Additional Sources:

2	Swift Justice Served To Eight Refugees Caught In THIS Despicable Act Of Terrorism Obama recently announced that any states who defy his Syrian Refugee plan will be punished and cut from all federal funding. It has just surfaced that eight refugees have been arrested for crimes of terror. They have been caught in aiding and abedding ISIS terrorism. These mens names are Abdinassir Mohamud Ibrahim, Abdullah Ramo Pazara, Armin Harcevic, Nihad Rosic, Sedina Unkic Hodzic and Ramiz Zijad Hodzic, Mediha Medy Salkicevic, Jasminka Ramic, and Abdurahman Yasin Daud. This is even more evidence to add to the list of why we should not be accepting Syrian Refugees. It is the truth that Islam is directly related to terrorism, and America needs to hold the safety of its citizens to the highest standard. Should we deport all Syrian Refugees from America?

1	Members of the national media watchdog group Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting released a 255-page report Monday criticizing the American media for severely biased local sports coverage. <i>The Boston Globe</i>'s 2002 Super Bowl coverage barely mentions the opposing team. 'In our extensive study of the nation's sports sections and broadcasts, we documented countless examples of shamelessly one-sided reporting, obvious speculation, and bald editorializing masquerading as journalism,' FAIR spokesman Scott Wilborough said. 'Coverage was heavily, sometimes brazenly, weighted toward the teams from a media source's own area. To look at the data, you would almost think that sports journalists aren't held to the same standards as other reporters.' FAIR surveyed the sports reporting of more than 400 newspapers, as well as nearly 200 television and radio stations across the country.Wilborough said that, in an average article about a sports event, 87 percent of column space was devoted to coverage of the local team. 'Photos almost always featured the home team, usually in a moment of victory,' Wilborough said. 'When the players and coaches of the opposing team were discussed, it was usually in the context of how they were 'destroyed' or 'stomped.'' In addition to granting local teams and athletes disproportionate amounts of column space and airtime, city dailies and newscasts often exaggerated local teams' wins and downplayed their losses. Wilborough held up two newspapers: a copy of the Detroit Evening News with the headline 'Sanders to Join the Immortals' and a copy of the Philadelphia Inquirer with the headline 'McNabb's Brilliant Last Minute Heroics Destroy Green Bay.' 'It's frankly baffling how widespread the bias is,' Wilborough said. 'Journalists seem to lose their composure altogether when reporting on their local sports teams.' The FAIR report, which characterized the bias as 'irresponsible and pervasive,' stated that 'the blatant slanting of local sports coverage goes against the ethics of balanced journalism and contributes to a public perception that the local team in a particular area is the absolute best. This does a disservice to the very audience that the media claim to serve.' 'The fact is, only one team in any given sport will earn the distinction of being the best,' Wilborough said. 'Nevertheless, local news outlets go on asserting that an area team is number one, often against all logic. When a local team is performing poorly, journalists will often slant coverage to imply that the failure is circumstantial or temporary. They even go so far as to make totally indefensible claims such as 'We'll get 'em next year.'' According to the report, the bias can be found everywhere from New York and Chicago to smaller media markets like Green Bay, WI and South Bend, IN. 'The bias is everywhere, but the New York and Boston media's coverage of this year's American League playoffs is a classic example,' FAIR investigator Clark Hudson said. 'And it all starts, as bad journalism so often does, with editorializing through biased word choice.' Hudson said that in both the New York Post and The Boston Globe, home-team batters were referred to as 'sluggers,' pitchers as 'hurlers,' and managers as 'field generals.' 'Hell, if I were the Boston Red Sox, I'd sue the New York Post for slander,' Hudson said. Several reporters agreed that a problem exists, but disagreed about both its nature and its severity. 'In my opinion, the most insidious aspect of unbalanced sports coverage is the bandwagon effect,' sports journalist Lori Nickel said. 'For example, Chicago news outlets support [coach] Dick Jauron blindly as long as the Bears are winning. But only one team can win the championship every year, so eventually, WGN and the Sun-Times start screaming for the firing of the entire coaching staff. How is that fair?' 'I wholeheartedly agree that standards in the business are slipping,' said ESPN's Jeremy Schaap, son of late sports-writing legend Dick Schaap. 'I'd like to see a return to the respect and even-handedness not seen since the days of that great man and exemplary American, Howard Cosell.' Wilborough said the problem may be larger than many realize. 'Let's face it, sports news is the only news most people read,' Wilborough said. 'That's reason enough to clean it up. Otherwise, the media may start seeing bias and sensationalism as a formula for success. I don't think anyone wants to live in a country where that happens.'

Its been a rough 24 hours for Jordan, so well give him his space for a while before bringing up how badly he just shit the bed, said Spieths mother, Christine, suggesting that the familys Friday night dinner might be the most appropriate time to finally ask the 22-year-old how he managed such a mind-boggling choke job. Well just have to dance around the fact that he really screwed the pooch for the next few days. There will be plenty of time to ask him what the hell he was doing out there. Right now, he needs to decompress and be alone with his thoughts. Family members told reporters that any discussion of the nearly $1 million in prize money that Spieth missed out on would be avoided indefinitely.

2	Obama Furious After Long Time Ally Betrays Him For Trump President-elect Donald Trump has had a difficult time convincing artists to perform at his inauguration. In a strongly liberal entertainment industry, many entertainers fear it could be career suicide. In spite of challenges, Trump is set to have a pretty interesting lineup at the celebration. This week, the marching band of Alabamas oldest private, historically black liberal arts college confirmed that they had accepted an invitation to perform. Trumps team reportedly announced that the Talladega College Marching Tornadoes was among 40 groups, including high school bands and military organizations, set to perform in the parade. Of course, the announcement was met with significant backlash from liberals. Talladega Colleges social media sites have broken into heated debates about whether or not the students should go through with their performance. In contrast to Howard University, who publicly confirmed that had not applied, Talladega released a statement proudly announcing their decision. Now, students are being attacked and demonized for performing at their own presidents inauguration. This is a show of respect and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that should be embraced and honored. The blatant disrespect for our future president needs to stop. Do you agree? 
3	Popular Culture Promotes the Police StateSARTRE, Contributor Cultural celebrities and icons come and go, but their art often rings on for good or bad. Political propaganda, embedded in media projects, has transcended subliminal messages and now emphasizes in your face brashness. The breakdown of the traditional value society is so complete, that what was once viewed as insulting political disinformation now passes as a promotion for a loyalist NWO drama. One such Showtime production is the pathetic Homeland series. Rachel Shabi offers her review assessment in the piece; Does Homeland just wave the American flag? Instead, Homeland presents a retuned version of the same unshakable assurance that, even when things are really complicated, American values are the fairest, the most right and the best. Sure, the series shows US forces doing terrible things: covering up a drone attack that kills civilians in Iraq; trigger-happy in a US mosque, leaving innocents dead there, too. But these are presented as necessary acts in pursuit of far worse crimes. Homelands core message is that the US means well, but sometimes has to do bad things; while the Arab and/or Muslim enemy doesnt mean well and hence does unfathomably bad things. Not much of a progression really, is it? While cable or broadcast TV is so removed from Little House on the Prairie, todays programming is designed to facilitate the psychological acceptance of the transition into a maximum lock-down prison society. Turn on your local newscast. You have a few minutes of blue-collar crime, hardly any white collar crime, a few minutes of sports, misc. chit chat, random political jibber-jabber, and a look at the weather that no one is forecasting correctly. Is that what happened in your town? And were supposed to own the airwaves! The mainstream media openly supports the interests of the prison industrial complex. The stories focus on minority criminal groups, and exploit the real threat to appear much more dangerous than they are. Think about the growing per capita number of prisoners in the country. Then remember that this is happening at the same time that our prison boom began. The police on our streets have created criminals. The focus is to keep us in a state of fear, that way the elitists can attack any group they want to without fear of consequence. This is why the media is continuing to craft the timeless art of dehumanization. The cutting edge of mind control has long included the use of music and lyrics that produce subconscious meanings. Now the fascist messages in street music indoctrinate not only the youth but target to reinforce the despotic aspirations of TSA flunkies. In hip-hop slang, the term hard usually refers to someone who is street-savvy, gritty, rebellious and who is decisively not down with police. Hard transposes this term to a military context. Her militaristic video features a gang of uniformed men dancing under the orders of General Rihanna. Weve come a long way from Public Enemys Fight the Powerit is now Submit to the Power. All of this military/dictatorial imagery is mixed with Rihannas sexy moves and outfits, appealing to the masses basest instinct: sex. Beyonce walks on stage with a bunch of men dressed in riot gear the type of unit a police state would use to repress opposition during popular turmoil. What are they doing in Beyonces performance? Contributing to permeate popular culture with police-state imagery. In the follow-up account, you can read the description mentioned in this report. Two recent examples of the perpetuation of the police state agenda in popular culture are Jay-Z and Kanye Wests music video No Church in the Wild and Adam Lamberts Never Close our Eyes. In spite of, or perhaps because of, the fact that these songs are two different genres that aim to reach two different markets, they both contribute to the saturation of popular culture with police state imagery. While the authorities are not necessarily portrayed as the good guys, they are nevertheless there, as if their presence at any kind of public demonstration is normal. Contrast this dark brute force portrayal, with an age of optimism and hope. The peace and love themes in the music and political actions of John Lennon offer a rudimentary alternative to the grisly atrocities that the establishment commits routinely in the name of national security. Gangster rap has little in common with All You Need is Love. Rebellion of youth is natural, but resigned acceptance for submission to the police state is repression. The thirty-two years since his assassination has been one long road into oblivion. Read the Interview With Investigative Reporter Jack Jones for insights into the elimination of a dangerous messenger of peace. What a long way away from John Lennons lyrics in the song Revolution. Alec Ryan writes in the American Renaissance: In the modern Hollywood narrative, all American history revolves around the Sacred Black Experience. Lincoln confirms this, bending historical truth to paint the most ruthless, bloody-minded, strong-willed American leader in history as some kind of smug, pre-post-modern storyteller croaking gamely through the difficulties like a paleface Obama sans teleprompter. The few Southerners are snarling, greasy bigots, recoiling before the erect, scowling black Union guards as they slink by during a meeting that led to the Hampton Roads peace conference of February 1865. The film has throughout a sense of hushed awe, as if kowtowing to its own self-evident righteousness. There is no balance, no complexity, no sense of inner struggle or desperation. No opposing arguments. Its simplistic outlook more closely resembles the popcorn-psychology Avengers or Justice League rather than the serious historical movie that it clearly wishes to be acclaimed. The insidious popular culture strips the institutions of traditional constitutional protections and separations of powers by diminishing the will of sovereign citizens to fight tyranny. The goal of imposing savage dehumanizing ruthlessness seeks to spread the Sons of Anarchy mindset into positions of authority. The merging of law enforcement into the ranks of criminal organizations becomes a common occurrence in the police state environment. Once upon a time, the peace officer maintained order and balance. Now law enforcement deems that natural rights are arbitrary and conditional on obedience to government dictates. The walking dead that accept a dependent society administered by bureaucratic goons, willingly tolerant a fate of bondage. Since texting is all the rage and the written language is sorely deficient, maybe the best way to communicate though the popular culture is to withdraw from the experience as much as possible.

2	Military Chaplain Defies Obama By Quoting The Bible, So Obama Does THIS Military chaplain Joe Lawhorn faced some serious backlash after he quoted the Bible during a suicide prevention seminar at University of North Georgia. During his speech, Lawhorn shared his personal story, noting that God helped him to beat depression. He credited his faith in Jesus for getting him through the hard times he was facing. What I had tried to communicate with my audience is that depression can be conquered, depression can be overcome, and there are a myriad of ways of dealing with depression, Lawhorn told the Daily Signal after he was criticized for the religious aspects of his speech. What do you think? Is Lawhorn wrong for encouraging our troops to use the Bible to get through hard times? Or do you support him in his faith? 
1	MINNEAPOLISArea couple Gene Hayter and Amy Peterman spent most of Sunday tenderly helping each other nurse massive hangovers, unaware that they broke up in a bitter, alcohol-fueled rage during the night. Hayter with his former ex-girlfriend Peterman. 'Man, we must've really tore it up, that's all I can say,' Hayter said, his voice raw from Jack Daniel's, cigarettes, and, unbeknownst to him, shrieked accusations of infidelity. 'I woke up on Amy's couch, of all places, with a beer bottle in my hand and this terrible feeling, like I wanted to cry myself to death. To top things off, when I pulled myself up to go crawl into bed with Amy, I stepped in broken glass.' Hayter said that either he or Peterman, whom he started dating in August 2001, must have drunkenly knocked a framed photo of the couple off the coffee table and smashed it all over the bedroom floor. 'It's too bad, too, because Ames and I have always considered that particular photo symbolic of our relationship,' Hayter said. 'I tell you, I must've had a great time last night. I just hope it was worth hosting this fucking hammer party in my skull.' Peterman did not remember anything of the breakup, either. Carefully stepping around the piles of debris in the apartment, she attended to her nausea and rubbed an abrasion on her finger where she had yanked off her promise ring in anger. 'Oh, my poor head,' Peterman said. 'I would've liked to have slept off my hangover, but my friend Nora called me at the crack of dawn. She wanted to know if I was 'okay,' and if I knew where Gene was. She kept asking me if I needed to talk. I was, like, 'No, I don't want to talk. My head is killing me.'' 'She was kinda weirding me out, actually,' Peterman added. 'Gene says she was probably still drunk.' The couple spent the morning staggering around the apartment, surveying the damage. Hayter cleans up a framed photo that must have fallen the previous evening. 'Why are all of Gene's clothes piled in the middle of the room like that, and what's that smell?' Peterman asked, unaware that she had heaped his clothes on the floor and doused them in lighter fluid. 'Did he spill vodka on them or something? God, I feel like shit.' Patting each other tenderly and engaging in other forms of non-verbal communication that revealed years of familiarity, the affectionate couple was nothing like the screaming drunks who had spent an hour the night before hashing out their sexual-incompatibility issues in front of a group of mutual friends at their neighborhood bar. 'I stopped by expecting to find Amy distraught over the breakup,' Peterman's childhood friend Mary Swaney said. 'But I walked in and found her and Gene cuddling under a blanket and watching Law & Order. Gene didn't seem to even realize that he had a black eye, let alone who gave it to him.' 'Gene called to say they wouldn't be meeting the gang for brunch, and I was thinking, 'No duh,'' said Hayter's best friend Jack McVeigh, who had spent 90 minutes the previous night talking Hayter out of heading to the airport and boarding a plane to the mountains. 'But when he said he and 'Ames' were just going to eat cinnamon toast and listen to records, I realized they wanted to spend the day making up.' 'I don't know how to tell him I have his Swiss Army knife,' McVeigh added. 'I took it off his key ring last night, because I wasn't 100 percent sure he could be trusted with it.' As of press time, neither Hayter nor Peterman exhibited the slightest recollection of the emotional content of the drinking binge. 'I'm glad I have you, Amy,' Hayter said, cuddling closer to Peterman underneath the very blanket he had used to deflect her blows the night before. 'I just want to hide from the loud, demanding world and snuggle for the rest of the day.' 'Me, too,' Peterman said, as she bemusedly extracted a letter opener from between the couch cushions. 'We can check and see what those 14 answering-machine messages are all about after we're feeling better.' 
1	Amid questions as to why this kind of shit always happens to him, area resident Patrick Kennedy told reporters Monday it was just his goddamn luck. Although the 32-year-old HR representative was caught off-guard by the recent events, which were just the icing on the cake, he acknowledged to friends that such occurrences are par for the course in his miserable life. 'Of course. Of fucking course,' the Kenosha native said. 'Every goddamn time.' Kennedy, who reportedly still cannot fucking believe it, admitted later he thought that once, maybe just once, things would be different. 
3	St. Louis Cop Suspended After Radical Views Are Exposed by YouTuberselfnews Post YouTube activist The Black Childnoticed the encounter on CNN and quickly identified Page and exposed his radical views in the video below. The Black Child pulled clips from a 2012 lecture given by Sergeant Page where he gives detailed plans of a military police state takeover of America. CNN has now confirmed the officer pretending to manhandle reporter Don Lemon is indeed Dan Page in that 2012 lecture. Page has been suspended for his ideology and will be forced to undergo psychiatric evaluation. Of course, they still pretend that Page wasnt a CNN-paid provocateur in that ridiculous sidewalk scene. Lemon uses the opportunity to smear the Oath Keepers as sharing Pages views. However, they report Oath Keepers response that Page is not a member of their organization and was only invited to lecture about the police state. This is the second time in a week that an activist journalist got a thug removed from the Ferguson protest. Three days ago a police officer pointed an assault rifle in the face of a peaceful citizen journalist and says I will fucking kill you. When the livestreamer asks for his name the officer replied Go fuck yourself! The officer was removed from Ferguson the following day and suspended. selfnews journalists have done more to enforce police accountability this week than authorities seem to have done in a span of years. Its a very interesting world we live in.

3	22 Nauseating Quotes From Hypocritical Establishment Politicians About The NSA Spying ScandalMichael Snyder The government is not supposed to invade our privacy and investigate us unless there is probable cause to do so. Apparently many of our politicians misunderstood when they read the novel 1984 by George Orwell. It wasnt supposed to be an instruction manual. We should be thanking Edward Snowden for exposing the deep corruption that is eating away at our own government like cancer. Now the American people need to pick up the ball and start demanding answers, because without a doubt we are going to see establishment politicians from both major political parties try to shut this scandal down. Establishment Democrats and establishment Republicans both love the Big Brother surveillance grid that the U.S. government has constructed, and they are both making it abundantly clear that they will defend the NSA to the very end. The following are 22 nauseating quotes from hypocritical establishment politicians that show exactly how they feel about the NSA spying scandal #1 Barack Obama: I think its important to understand that you cant have 100 percent security and then have 100 percent privacy and zero inconvenience. Were going to have to make some choices as a society. #2 Barack Obama in 2007: This Administration also puts forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we demand That means no more illegal wire-tapping of American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war. No more ignoring the law when it is inconvenient. That is not who we are. And it is not what is necessary to defeat the terrorists We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers, and that justice is not arbitrary. #4 U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham: I hope we follow Mr. Snowden to the ends of the Earth to bring him to justice. #5 U.S. Senator Al Franken: I can assure you, this is not about spying on the American people. #6 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: For senators to complain that they didnt know this was happening, we had many, many meetings that have been both classified and unclassified that members have been invited to. #7 U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell: Given the scope of these programs, its understandable that many would be concerned about issues related to privacy. But whats difficult to understand is the motivation of somebody who intentionally would seek to warn the nations enemies of lawful programs created to protect the American people. And I hope that he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. #8 U.S. Representative Peter King on why #9 Director of National Intelligence James Clapper making a joke during an awards ceremony last Friday night: Some of you expressed surprise that I showed upso many emails to read! #10 Director Of National Intelligence James Clapper about why he lied about NSA spying in front of Congress: I responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful manner. #11 National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden: The president has full faith in director Clapper and his leadership of the intelligence community #12 White House press secretary Jay Carney: Clapper has been straight and direct in the answers that hes given, and has actively engaged in an effort to provide more information about the programs that have been revealed through the leak of classified information #13 Dianne Feinstein, the chairwoman of the Senate intelligence committee: There is no more direct or honest person than Jim Clapper. #14 Gus Hunt, the chief technology officer at the CIA: We fundamentally try to collect everything and hang onto it forever. #15 Barack Obama: Nobody is listening to your telephone calls. #16 Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency: We do not see a tradeoff between security and liberty. #17 An exchange between NSA director Keith Alexander and U.S. Representative Hank Johnson in March 2012 JOHNSON: Does the NSA routinely intercept American citizens emails? ALEXANDER: No. JOHNSON: Does the NSA intercept Americans cell phone conversations? ALEXANDER: No. JOHNSON: Google searches? ALEXANDER: No. JOHNSON: Text messages? ALEXANDER: No. JOHNSON: Amazon.com orders? ALEXANDER: No. JOHNSON: Bank records? ALEXANDER: No. #18 Deputy White House press secretary Dana Perino: The intelligence activities undertaken by the United States government are lawful, necessary and required to protect Americans from terrorist attacks #19 U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss: This is nothing new. It has proved meritorious because we have gathered significant information on bad guys and only on bad guys over the years. #20 Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton on NSA leaker Edward Snowden: Let me ask, who died and made him king? Who gave him the authority to endanger 300 million Americans? Thats not the way it works, and if he thinks he can get away with that, hes got another think coming. #21 Senior spokesman for the NSA Don Weber: Given the nature of the work we do, it would be irresponsible to comment on actual or alleged operational issues; therefore, we have no information to provide #22 The White House website: My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Right now, the NSA is building a data collection center out in Utah that is so massive that it is hard to describe with words. It is going to cost 40 million dollars a year just to provide the energy needed to run it. According to a 2012 Wired article entitled The NSA Is Building the Countrys Biggest Spy Center (Watch What You Say), this data center will contain the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches in addition to parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases and anything else that the NSA decides to collect Under construction by contractors with top-secret clearances, the blandly named Utah Data Center is being built for the National Security Agency. A project of immense secrecy, it is the final piece in a complex puzzle assembled over the past decade. Its purpose: to intercept, decipher, analyze, and store vast swaths of the worlds communications as they zap down from satellites and zip through the underground and undersea cables of international, foreign, and domestic networks. The heavily fortified $2 billion center should be up and running in September 2013. Flowing through its servers and routers and stored in near-bottomless databases will be all forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Google searches, as well as all sorts of personal data trailsparking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital pocket litter. It is, in some measure, the realization of the total information awareness program created during the first term of the Bush administrationan effort that was killed by Congress in 2003 after it caused an outcry over its potential for invading Americans privacy. The goal is to know as much about everyone on the planet as possible. And the NSA does not keep this information to itself. As an article inUSA Today recently reported, the NSA shares the data that it collects with other government agencies as a matter of practice As a matter of practice, the NSA regularly shares its information known as product in intelligence circles with other intelligence groups. So when the NSA collects information about you, there is a very good chance that the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security and the IRS will have access to it as well. But the U.S. government is not the only one collecting data on American citizens. Guess who else has been collecting massive amounts of data on the American people? Barack Obama. According to those that have seen it, the Obama database is unlike anything that any politician has ever put together before. According to CNSNews.com, U.S. Representative Maxine Waters says that this database will have information about everything on every individual The president has put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life, she added. Thats going to be very, very powerful. Martin asked if Waters if she was referring to Organizing for America. Thats right, thats right, Waters said. And that database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that its never been done before. Waters said the database would also serve future Democratic candidates seeking the presidency. Perhaps this helps to explain why so many big donors got slapped with IRS audits immediately after they wrote big checks to the Romney campaign. We are being told to trust Barack Obama and the massive government surveillance grid that is being constructed all around us, but there has been example after example of government power being grossly abused in recent years. A lot of Americans say that they do not care if the government is watching them because they do not have anything to hide, but is there anyone out there that would really not mind the government watching them and listening to them 24 hours a day? For example, it has been documented that NSA workers eavesdropped on conversations between U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq and their loved ones back home. Some of these conversations involved very intimate talk between husbands and wives. The following is from a 2008 ABC News story Faulk says he and others in his section of the NSA facility at Fort Gordon routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted, alerting office mates to certain time codes of cuts that were available on each operators computer. Hey, check this out, Faulk says he would be told, theres good phone sex or theres some pillow talk, pull up this call, its really funny, go check it out. It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, Wow, this was crazy, Faulk told ABC News. Faulk said he joined in to listen, and talk about it during breaks in Back Halls smoke pit, but ended up feeling badly about his actions. Is this really what we want the future of America to look like? Do we really want the government to watch us and listen to us during our most intimate moments?

2	Whoopi Goldberg Says She Might Leave The Country If Trump Is Elected ABCs The View host Whoopi Goldberg has made it more than clear that she doesnt like Donald Trump. Is anyone surprised to hear that? What is shocking, however, is how far Goldberg is willing to go to get her point across. On a recent airing of the show, Goldberg went on what Conservative Post called a moderately unhinged rant. She even threatened to leave the country if Trump is elected. Listen, he can be whatever party he wants to be, Goldberg told the audience. What he cant be is he cant be the guy that says its your fault stuff isnt working. Thats not the president I want. Find a way to make stuff work. Stop blaming everybody because all of this, as American citizens, this is ourwe did all of this. Weve allowed all this stuff, so we have to fix it. But you cant say, Oh, youre Lebanese or youre black or youre Mexican or youre a woman, she continued. Stop blaming everybody. Lets fix the crap. Lets just fix it. If you can fix it, I will listen to what you have to say.The minute you start pointing and saying that person is a rapist and a murderer, it pisses me off because Ive been a part of that when they just use a blanket statement to talk about black people or when they use a blanket statement to talk about white people or women or any other group. I dont think thats America. I dont want it to be America. Maybe its time for me to move, you know. Its interesting that Trump saying that we need stronger border control is somehow equivalent in Goldbergs mind to blaming everything on Mexicans, blacks, women and the Lebanese. What do you think of Goldbergs comments? Is it time for her to leave the view once and for all? 
3	U.S. Set to Spend $95 Million a Day for 10 Years to Update Nuclear ArsenalCarey Wedler According to a new estimate published by the Congressional Budget Office last week, it will cost $348 billion over a decade for the United States to update its nuclear weapons. Should they do it, they will continuea stranglehold onone of the worlds biggest arsenals. The report, entitled Projected Costs of U.S. Nuclear Forces, 2015 to 2024, says the cost for 2015 to 2024 dropped from the 2014-2023 $355 billion estimate that makesthis years a bargain at $7 billion off! According to the CBO, a designated non-partisan federal agency, the price tag is so high because current nuclear land, sea, and air-based platforms (the triad) are nearing the end of their service lifetimes. To update them, the Department of Defense would be responsible for $227 billion while the Department of Energy wouldcover $121 billion. The Center for Arms Control warns that over 30 years, it could cost 70 trillion to maintain the triad. The undertaking of the projected $348 billion upgrades, should Congress choose to implement them, would amount to almost $35 billion a year. Thats over $95 million dollars a day spent onnuclear weapons alone (generously assuming the yearly cost will not rise with inflation and costs over the decade). By comparison, in 2013 the US government spent 3 times on its overall military what the Chinese did on theirs ($613 billion vs. $171 billion) in spite of the fact that China has more than 4 times the population of the US (1.3 billion vs. 321 million). These costs come in addition to the borrowed trillions already wastedon illegal, dishonest wars. The most telling component of the report is the CBOs apparent options for dealing with aging nuclear weapons: Over the next two decades, the Congress will need to make decisions about the extent to which essentially all of the U.S. nuclear delivery systems and weapons will be modernized or replaced with new systems. The question is not whether or not to move toward a world free of nuclear threats, in spite of how often politicians pay lip service to peace. Rather, the questionis how the government will ensure it retains its weapons. This is particularly hypocritical considering the United States consistently urges and threatens other nations to halt and dismantle their nuclear systemswhile still being the only country to have ever dropped a nuclear bomb (on civilians, no less). The United States federal government and its cohorts have made their priorities clear: violence is valuable above all else and it is the duty of the citizens to fund it. With Americans salivating atthe military and nowranking terrorism as their biggest concern, it seems unlikely the perpetual drift toward empire will cease. Unsurprisingly, there has been minimal media coverage of the overwhelmingly expensive costs to keep Americas nuclear program powerful. The stories are no longer news. As the opening paragraph of the CBO report explains with detachment, Nuclear weapons have been a cornerstone of U.S. national security since they were developed during World War II. During the Cold War, nuclear forces were central to U.S. defense policy, resulting in the buildup of a large arsenal. Carey Wedler writes for TheAntiMedia.org, where this first appeared.

1	Admitting that he has completely run out of ideas at this point, local political cartoonist Lawrence Cleary told reporters Monday that he is unsure how to convey that a large sack being clutched by a U.S. senator in his latest drawing is full of money. In order for this one to work, the reader has to know that its a big bag of cash the senators holding, but how can I possibly get that idea across? the Chicago Tribune satirist told reporters, referring to the as-yet-unfinished black-and-white sketch, which features an unnamed politician carrying the bulging, unmarked sack while strolling out of a building marked Middle Class Savings & Loan, underneath the caption Politics As Usual I was thinking of maybe having a few coins spilling from the top of the bag, or maybe hes already dropped an open bag on the ground and we can see a bunch of cash inside of it. I guess I could always give him a speech bubble that says, Theres a bunch of money in this bag that I took from the American people, but that might be spelling it out too much. Maybe he could be wearing a name tag that reads Senator Moneybags, thereby denoting that the bag he is holding is in fact filled with money? At press time, Cleary had decided to write the word money on the bag. 
1	According to Beltway sources, confused White House staffers arrived at their desks Wednesday to find a meticulously researched, entirely unrequested report from the Interior Department assessing dry humping as a suitable sex alternative for teenagers. The uncomfortably in-depth 900-page document, which outlines the benefits of clothed genital stimulation versus fully penetrative sex, reportedly baffled administration officials, who confirmed they generally associate the department with its role in managing natural resources and administering programs for Native Americans. 'I find this all extremely odd, to say the least,' said White House deputy chief of staff Nancy-Ann DeParle, thumbing through a large three-ring binder emblazoned with the department's American bison seal. 'Reducing teen STD and pregnancy rates is important, of course, but this falls so far outside Interior's purview thatwell, I don't even know how to respond to this, to be quite honest.' 'How could they possibly have found the time or funding for an in-depth study of dry humping?' DeParle added. 'I'm certain we didn't commission this.' A copy of the report obtained by members of the press reveals it to be a heavily researched work that begins with a heartfelt, dry-sex-positive foreword by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. Also included is a detailed history of the practice, from the Victorian-era practice of frottagemeaning 'to rub'to the modern teen trend of freaking or 'sandwich dancing,' whereby two partners interlock legs and grind their genitals together in rhythm with popular music. 'The pantomiming of intercourse prior to the onset of mature sexual relationships is a phenomenon one observes in many cultures,' reads one section of the report. 'It's natural for budding, aroused adolescents to explore erogenous-zone stimulation with a partner, and when it comes to achieving physical gratification without disrobing, teens have many options available to them. Young males will even find that ejaculation is not uncommon.' Another section, credited to the department's Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, ranks the best places to engage in dry humping using a statistical 'dry-pleasure coefficient,' or DPEa new metric the Department of the Interior developed solely for the report. The study indicates a soft couch in the finished basement of a mutual friend's house has the highest-known DPE, making it the top location for fully clothed teens to vigorously mount each other. The Interior Department, founded in 1849 to oversee federal land management, has never been responsible for dealing with adolescent sexuality in any official capacity. 'Comprehensiveness notwithstanding, it's a little alarming that anyone over there knows this much about dry humping, whether anecdotally or through direct observation,' said White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer, referring to a section of the report that evaluates various ointments that can be used to treat chafed genitals following heavy friction. 'For Christ's sake, these people have 58 national parks to run.' 'And some of these studies go all the way back to 1995, so obviously they've been working on this for a while,' he continued. 'By all outward indications, this looks to be a labor of love.' Despite calling the report 'unsettling' and 'difficult to read for more than a few minutes at a time,' administration staffers acknowledged its conclusions were valid on the whole, and should be applauded for their objectivity and nonjudgmental tone. Sources said that aside from some of the more graphic and largely speculative sections on teen vibrator play contributed by the U.S. Geological Survey, much of the research might even be suitable for sex-education curricula. Interior Department officials were summoned Wednesday afternoon to confirm authorship of the report, their first since a Jan. 6 brief on fluctuations in the seasonal wolf population of northern Wyoming. 'We'd be more than happy to further discuss any of our findings,' a department spokesman said. 'All questions can be directed to Secretary Salazar's office.' 'But I think we've made our point,' he added. 
3	University Study: Facebook is Bad for Your Mental HealthUH study links Facebook use to depressive symptoms.Findings suggest amount of time spent and social comparison on Facebook impacts mental health. Although social comparison processes have been examined at length in traditional contexts, the literature is only beginning to explore social comparisons in online social networking settings, said Steers, a doctoral candidate in social psychology at UH. Steers conducted two studies to investigate how social comparison to peers on Facebook might impact users psychological health. Both studies provide evidence that Facebook users felt depressed when comparing themselves to others. It doesnt mean Facebook causes depression, but that depressed feelings and lots of time on Facebook and comparing oneself to others tend to go hand in hand, said Steers. The first study found an association between time spent on Facebook and depressive symptoms for both genders. However, the results demonstrated that making Facebook social comparisons mediated the link between time spent on Facebook and depressive symptoms for men only. Similarly, the second study found a relationship between the amount of time spent on Facebook and depressive symptoms was mediated by social comparisons on Facebook. Unlike the first study, gender did not moderate these associations. The concept of social comparison is not new. In fact, it has been studied in face-to-face contexts since the 1950s. However, engaging in social comparisons on online social media sites may make people feel even worse. One danger is that Facebook often gives us information about our friends that we are not normally privy to, which gives us even more opportunities to socially compare, Steers said. You cant really control the impulse to compare because you never know what your friends are going to post. In addition, most of our Facebook friends tend to post about the good things that occur in their lives, while leaving out the bad. If were comparing ourselves to our friends highlight reels, this may lead us to think their lives are better than they actually are and conversely, make us feel worse about our own lives. Steers said that people afflicted with emotional difficulties may be particularly susceptible to depressive symptoms due to Facebook social comparison after spending more time on medium. For already distressed individuals, this distorted view of their friends lives may make them feel alone in their internal struggles, which may compound their feelings of loneliness and isolation. This research and previous research indicates the act of socially comparing oneself to others is related to long-term destructive emotions. Any benefit gained from making social comparisons is temporary and engaging in frequent social comparison of any kind may be linked to lower well-being, said Steers. Steers hopes the results of these studies will help people understand that technological advances often possess both intended and unintended consequences. Further, she hopes her research will help guide future interventions that target the reduction of Facebook use among those at risk for depression. Press and image source University of Houston. 
2	BREAKING: New Info On Who Trumps VP Just Leaked... Hillary Is Trembling According to recent reports, Donald Trumps campaign has been seriously vetting New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie as a vice presidential pick. According to an article from The New York Times, Gov. Christie has been sent the vetting papers and has taken a more active role in the Trump campaign. They called this role comparable to that of a White House chief of staff, soliciting views on what potential administration should look like. Trump will officially announce his running mate at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, just a few weeks from now. Christies name has been brought up in the past, but was eliminated by speculators when Trump commented that he wanted someone with federal elective experience. Heres what the decision comes down to and its very simple, he added. Mr. Trump is going to pick the person who is best to partner with him to get his legislative agenda through Congresstax cuts for the middle class, reducing our debtcreating a better economy, renegotiating our bad trade deals. Now, it seems that Christie has taken on a bigger role in the Trump campaign. Before his role as the governor of New Jersey he was a federal prosecutor. What do you think of Christie as a choice for Vice President? 
2	Over Half Of All 50 States Just Made This MASSIVE Move Against Obama According to recent reports, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is publicly demanding an investigation against the Obama administration; after evidence surfaced that they have continued to give 100,000 illegal immigrants amnesty in violation of a federal court order. The Obama administration appears to have already been issuing expanded work permits, in direct contradiction to what they told a federal judge previously in this litigation, Paxton claims. The circumstances behind this must be investigated, and the motion we seek would help us determine to what extend the administration might have misrepresented the facts in this case. Now, his efforts are being backed by 26 state governors or attorneys general to find out whether the ruling by a federal judge to freeze amnesty has been violated. I commend Attorney General Paxton for continuing to hold the Obama administration accountable, claims Texas Governor Greg Abbot. Im confident an investigation would find the administration knowingly or recklessly misled a federal court in issuing thousands of amnesty documents illegally. President Obama has continued to show completed disregard for the rule of law by acting beyond his constitutional authority at every stage of the process. What do you think? Are you sick of the lies coming from the Obama Administration?

2	Welfare Leech Told Cops Everyone Steals From This Store... Why Are You Pi... This is absolutely ridiculous. According to reports, when a 26-year-old woman was caught stealing in Vero Beach, FL, she accused the police of purposely targeting her. Everyone steals form this story, Prolancia Aquila Turner whined during her arrest. Why are you picking on me? Turner was caught shoplifting earrings from a jewelry store. After being detained, Turner was reportedly crying and angry, blaming them for singling her out and accusing them of unfair treatment. It should be noted that Turner has been arrested for theft on two previous occasions. She was charged with retail theft for hiding the earrings in the waistband of her pants as she left the low-cost accessory chain store, Claires. The earrings reportedly cost $12.50. Turner is due in court on June 7 to answer misdemeanor charges that could carry punishments of up to a year in jail and a fine of $1,000. What do you think of Turners behavior? Is this entitlement at its finest? 
3	Fabian Society: Pay for Permission to Use the EarthAll would be renters without ownership rights under this 1887 collectivist model. In the founding creed of the Fabian Society, published circa 1887, the prestigious UK socialists behind the founding of the Labour Party set down principles against the private ownership of land and towards the formation of a global (socialist administered) commune. In particular, the group whose most notable members include playwright George Bernard Shaw and sci-fi writer H.G. Wells says that people should pay rent for permission to use the Earth. Clearly, this a forerunner to global governance institution who are today trying restrict individual rights in the name of saving the Earth while driving the masses into a global collective ruled by secretive societies of elite members. The Fabian creed written in 1887 states: The Fabian Society consists of Socialists. It therefore aims at the reorganization of Society by the emancipation of Land and Industrial capital from individual and class ownership, and the vesting of them in the community for the general benefit. In this way only can the natural and acquired advantages of the country be equitably shared by the whole people. The Society, further, works for the transfer to the community of the administration of such industrial Capital as can conveniently be managed socially. For, owing to the monopoly of the means of production in the past, industrial inventions and the transformation of surplus income into Capital have mainly enriched the proprietary class, the worker being now dependent on that class for leave to earn a living. If these measures be carried out, without compensation (though not without such relief to expropriated individuals as may seem fit to the community), Rent and Interest will be added to the reward of labour, the idle class now living on the labour of others will necessarily disappear, and practical equality of opportunity will be maintained by the spontaneous action of economic forces with much less interference with personal liberty than the present system entails. For the attainment of these ends the Fabian Society looks to the spread of Socialist opinions, and the social and political changes consequent thereon, including the establishment of equal citizenship for men and women. it seeks to achieve these ends by the general dissemination of knowledge as to the relation between the individual and Society in its economic, ethical, and political aspects.

He announced that he will be pursuing control with more fervor than ever. After the Colorado shooting, and now this, he has had enough. He has also gone so far as to say that the mass shootings has no parallel anywhere else in the world. Is he blind? Were 130 people not just killed mere weeks ago in Paris? California is one of the most strict states in the country as far as gun laws. Nevertheless, this is where this horrible attack took place. Obama needs to rethink his plan. Better yet, we need someone in the White House who can make the right calls. Is Obama too incompetent to run our great country? 
2	Baltimore Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby To Be Taken Off The Case And Charges Dismissed State Attorney Marilyn Mosby has received criticism for her actions in charging police officers in the death of Freddie Gray. Now, lawyers for the authorities have filed a motion on asking that Mosby recuse herself from the case. According to reports, the attorneys for the officers question whether Mosbys personal relationships with those who will serve as witnesses during the trial will play a role in the prosecution. The 107-page motion also accuses Mosby of egregiously violating prosecutorial ethics. The pleadings speak for themselves, and we look forward to litigating them in the courtroom, attorney Marc L. Zayon told reporters. Reportedly, some feel that the investigation into Grays death may not support the charges of second-degree murder. As a result, several members of the Baltimore police force have publicly criticized Mosbys ruling. As tragic as this situation is, none of the officers involved are responsible for the death of Mr. Gray, Gene Ryan, President of the Fraternal Order of Polices Baltimore City Lodge told reporters. To the contrary, at all times, each of the officers diligently balance their obligations to protect Mr. Gray and discharge their duties to protect the public. What do you think of the incident? Is it wrong to charge the six officers involved with Grays death?

3	Geoengineering for Financial Gain: A History of Weather DerivativesPeter A. Kirby, Contributor Even though the catastrophe reinsurance market is much larger, the focus of this article is the history of the weather derivatives market because, while the history of the catastrophe reinsurance market is murky (I may uncover more in time), lots of information about the history of the weather derivatives market is available. It is this way because Enron originated the weather derivatives market. The fall of Enron was one of the greatest corporate scandals in American history, so there has been much already investigated and exposed. When youre talking about the history of weather derivatives, youre talking about Enron. They developed the most widely used early trading platforms, they were founding members of the leading industry association and were counterparties in the first known domestic and international transactions. In their heyday, Enron received Fortune Magazines award for Most Innovative Company six years in a row. They gave their Enron Prize for Distinguished Public Service to people like Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev. Henry Kissinger and James Baker worked as Enron consultants; traveling to such far-flung destinations as Kuwait and China preaching the Enron gospel. Stock analysts gushed over everything Enron did. Enron could seemingly do no wrong. The only problem was, Enron was cooking the books seven ways to Sunday. When the S.H.T.F., Enrons stock tanked like World Trade Center building 7 and eventually brought down one of the nations oldest and largest accounting firms, Arthur Andersen. Although the company itself has long since been chopped up and sold off, former Enron employees now populate many other financial market trading establishments. The particular division known to buy and sell weather derivatives was called Enron Weather. Enron Weather started as a small, but promising bit of the company. By the time of Enrons demise in 2001, Enron Weather had grown to a significant part of their business. It is suggested that Enron CEO Jeff Skillings brother, Tom Skilling originally had the idea for weather derivatives. Peter Fusaro and Ross Miller write in their book What Went Wrong at Enron: As temperatures spike upward in summer and fall in winter, utilities also potentially needed a hedge against the weather. Or so Enron thought thanks to an idea that some Enron sources say Jeff Skillings brother Thomas, a weatherman in Chicago, suggested. Tom Skilling is the chief meteorologist at WGN-TV in Chicago, Illinois. Loren Fox, the author of Enron: The Rise and Fall tells the story of Enron Weather like this: weather derivatives came to be championed by an employee working at the grassroots level and seeing customers daily needs. John Sherriff, who at the time managed gas trading for the western United States, began looking at derivatives linked to the weather in late 1995, and Vincent Kaminskis research group worked on the idea in 1996. A gas trader named Lynda Clemmons was very interested in the idea, based on her conversations with executives at electric utilities that used coal-fired power plants. In 1997, Enron handed off its weather derivatives effort to Clemmons, who was only 27. She began a one-person weather-hedging department within ECT Fox continues: Clemmons built up Enrons weather business so that it did 350 transactions (hedging up to $400 million in potential revenues) in 1998, turning its first profit that year. Enron initiated the weather derivatives market in Europe as well. According to scholar Samuel Randalls: In the UK, the first weather derivative deal was sold by Enron to Scottish Hydropower who, at that time, 1998, were taking part in a government pilot scheme for the privatization and deregulation of energy markets. Enrons Oslo office became the base of their European weather derivatives business. In 2000, Enron also introduced weather derivatives in Australia; offering temperature-based products for Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Osaka. In 2002, after the bankruptcy, the Enron trading desk (including Enron Weather) was bought by UBS Warburg. John Sherriff is now the owner of Lake Tahoe Financial and other Sherriff family businesses. Mrs. Clemmons left Enron in 2000. She took a number of her colleagues from Enrons weather team and set up weather derivatives company Element Reinsurance. After Enron, Lynda Clemmons also worked at XL Weather Energy, The Storm Exchange Inc. and Vyapar Capital Market Partners. According to her Linkedin profile, Mrs. Clemmons is now an independent consultant. A history of corruption The Enron financial market trading desk, just like the company itself, had a history of corruption. Back in 1987, the Enron trading operations were called Enron Oil. When questions about an Enron account at New Yorks Apple Bank began surfacing, Enron management turned a blind eye. Money was pouring into this questionable account from a bank in the Channel Islands and flowing out to the account of a man named Tom Mastroeni; the treasurer of Enron Oil. Enron management explained away these money flows and this questionable account as completely legal profit shifting. Although Mastroeni produced doctored bank statements and admitted a cover-up, Enron management didnt pursue the issue. Nobody involved was even reprimanded. Revelations continued to come out, but Enron management did nothing. Enrons accounting firm Arthur Andersen exhibited a similar disinterest. After management confirmed an official lack of responsible oversight, Enron Oil traders ignored position limits and got themselves in big trouble. Only then did Enron executives show interest. The authors of The Smartest Guys in the Room tell the story like this: For months, Borget [the CEO of Enron Oil] had been betting that the price of oil was headed down, and for months, the market had stubbornly gone against him. As his losses had mounted, he had continually doubled down, ratcheting up the bet in the hope of recouping everything when prices ultimately turned in his direction. Finally, Borget had dug a hole so deep and so potentially catastrophic that there was virtually no hope of ever recovering. Enron brass was in a panic. Enron was looking at a $1 billion loss; enough to bankrupt the company. Management sent in some expert traders who, over the course of a few weeks, managed to clear out these positions with only a $140 million hit. Enron had to tell people about this $140 million trading loss, though. Enrons stock slid 30%. The blame game began. Ken Lay, the affable Enron founder and CEO, denied any responsibility. News of the scandal conveniently came out right after a big bank loan approval. The U.S. attorneys office charged Borget and Mastroeni with fraud and personal income tax violations. In 1990, Borget pled guilty to three felonies and was sentenced to a year in jail and and five years probation. Mastroeni pled guilty to two felonies. He got a suspended sentence and two years probation. Deregulation Ken Lay helped his company make more money and created new financial markets (such as the weather derivatives market) through energy sector deregulation. Deregulation created a situation where Enron and others could more effectively manipulate and arbitrage (specifically regulatory arbitrage) markets. Let us refer to a feature article published by industry publication Risk.net: Enron was the focal point of the deregulation agenda, says Jonathan Whitehead, who started with Enron Europe in 1996 and was heading the liquefied natural gas (LNG) business in Houston at the time of Enrons demise. It was the most vocal when explaining to regulators and governments and customers the benefits of deregulated markets. I dont think deregulation in power and gas in Europe or the US would have come as far as it has without Enron, he says. Pushing for deregulation was very much a part of the companys strategy from the start. Ken Lay [chairman and chief executive of Enron] was the visionary at the time as far as seeing where deregulation could go and actually driving deregulation, says Mark Frevert, who worked at one of Enrons predecessor companies, Houston Natural Gas, from 1984 and stayed at Enron until its demise. The right connections Deregulation necessarily required help from the federal government. To make it happen, Enron and Ken Lay (who died in 2006) had the right federal connections in spades. Ken Lay enlisted in the navy in 1968. His friend pulled some strings and had him transferred to the Pentagon. According to the authors of The Smartest Guys in the Room, Lay spent his time at the Pentagon, conducting studies on the military-procurement process. The work provided the basis for his doctoral thesis on how defense spending affects the economy. As I have explained in earlier writings, there is reason to believe that domestic chemtrail spraying operations and weather modification activities are carried out by our military. Ken Lay had many high-level military connections. Mr. Lay had the right political- and specifically energy-related political connections as well. He worked in the Nixon administration as a Federal Power Commission aide, then as deputy undersecretary of energy in the Interior Department. As chairman and CEO of Enron, he sat on the boards of Washington think tanks and often travelled to Washington. A revolving door existed between Enron and the federal government. Enron executive Tom White left the company to join the Bush Jr. administration as secretary of the army. Enron executive Herbert Pug Winokur was Lays old Pentagon friend. Robert Zoellick (now head of the World Bank) represented Enron, then the United States as Trade Representative and later as Deputy Secretary of State. According to the authors of The Smartest Guys in the Room: In 1993, Lay added Wendy Gramm [to the Enron board], who had just finished a stint as chairman of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and was married to Texas Senator Phil Gramm. It goes on: Just after Wendy Gramm stepped down from the CFTC, that agency approved an exemption that limited the regulatory scrutiny of Enrons energy-derivatives trading business, a process she had set in motion. When Enron galloped into Europe, they had an influential lord on their side. Greg Palast covers it like this: The fact that a truly free market [in electricity] didnt exist and cannot possibly work did not stop Britains woman in authority, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, from adopting it. It was more than free market theories that convinced her. Whispering in her ear was one Lord Wakeham, then merely John Wakeham, Thatchers energy minister. Wakeham approved the first merchant power station. It was owned by a company created only in 1985 Enron. Lord Wakehams decision meant that, for the first time in any nation, an electricity plant owner, namely Enron, could charge whatever the market could bear or, more accurately, could not bear. It was this act in 1990 that launched Enron as the deregulated international power trader. Shortly thereafter, Enron named Wakeham to its board of directors and placed him on Enrons audit and compliance committee. As I speculate, a scheme to manipulate financial markets by modifying the weather would necessarily involve intelligence agencies. According to the authors of The Smartest Guys in the Room, Enron had intelligence agency connections: One of Enrons key advantages over its competitors was information: it simply had more of it than its competitors. Its physical assets provided information, of course. And Enron didnt stop there. It employed CIA agents who could find out anything about anyone. In stead of tracking the weather on the Weather Channel, the company had a meteorologist on staff. Hed arrive at the office at 4:30 A.M., download data from a satellite, and meet with the traders at 7:00 A.M. to share his insights. It continues: By the late 1990s, these research efforts were herded together into something called the fundamentals group fundies in trader parlance. The fundies group produced intelligence reports and held morning briefings The Bush family Mr. Lay and Enron had many connections to the Bush family and their cohorts. President George W. Bush (Bush Jr.) lovingly called Ken Lay Kenny Boy. Mr. Lay was also close to his father, fellow Houstonian, George H.W. Bush (Bush Sr.). For example, in 1991, Bush Sr. offered Mr. Lay the position of commerce secretary. Mr. Lay turned him down. He wanted to be treasury secretary. Greg Palast, in his book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, characterizes the Bush/Enron relationship like this: But what about Pioneer Lay of Enron Corp? His company, Americas number one power speculator, was also Dubyas number-one political career donor ($1.8 million to Republicans during the 2000 presidential campaign). Lay was personal advisor to Bush during the post-election transition. And his company held secret meetings with the energy plans drafters. Bushs protecting electricity deregulation meant a big payday for Enron subsequent bankruptcy not withstanding sending profits up $87 million in the first quarter of Bushs reign. Other Bushes were getting some, too. Greg Palast writes: Two months after the bankruptcy, Governor Jeb Bush of Florida traveled to the Texas home of Enrons ex-president, Rich Kinder, to collect a stack of checks totaling $2 million at the power pillagers $500-per-plate fund-raising dinner. There are a lot of workers in Florida who will wish they had a chance to lick those plates, because thats all thats left of the one-third of a billion dollars Floridas state pension fund invested in Enron three times as much as any other of the fifty states. Mr. Palast continues: Governor Bush encouraged a scheme by a company called Azurix to repipe the entire Southern Florida water system with new reservoirs that would pump fresh water into the swamps. From the view of expert hydrologists, such a mega-project is a crackbrained and useless waste of gobs of money. As part of the deal, Azurix would be handed the right to sell the reservoirs water to six million Florida customers. Azurix was the wholly owned subsidiary of Enron that had recently been kicked out of Buenos Aires. Specializing in private equity buyouts, The Carlyle Group is one of their two main family businesses and one of the nations largest defense contractors. Chemtrail spraying is a military operation. The Carlyle Group could help geoengineering programs happen. Participation in a scheme to defraud the population while murdering them at the same time would probably be A-o.k. with the Bush family. Bush family members exhibit recurring criminal behavior. Forget about the Enron connections. Do you know about the Nazi connections? Are you aware of the numerous links to 9/11? Have you heard of the connections to the attempted Reagan assassination or the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II? Dont forget that little Iran-Contra fiasco and the drug dealing, gun running and money laundering. Yup, theyre connected to that dirty, dirty BCCI thing, too. Folks, these are just some of the things we know about. When you see a few cockroaches, you can bet there are hundreds more in the wall. So, who funds the Bush family? The answer is a little investment bank called Brown Brothers Harriman. Maybe youve heard of it. Webster Tarpley and Anton Chaitkin in their book George Bush: the Unauthorized Biographydescribe the situation like this: For George Bush, Brown Brothers Harriman was and remains the family firm in the deepest sense. The formidable power of this bank and its ubiquitous network, wielded by Senator Prescott Bush up through the time of his death in 1972, and still active on Georges behalf down to the present day, is the single most important key to every step of Georges business, covert operations and political career. And Ill go you one better. Who owns Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH)? Thats a good question because they are a private company. You cannot buy shares of BBH on any stock exchange. But, in fact, it really doesnt matter who owns BBH because BBH (like all other big banks) suckles at the teet of the United States Federal Reserve Bank. In order to get that fresh, uncirculated capital (which has more value than the money which is already in circulation), Brown Brothers Harriman acts upon the orders of the United States Federal Reserve Bank. Sure, BBH has businesses that make money, but when they start a new business such as weather derivatives, they act with the approval of the Fed. I understand this may be a lot to swallow for the uninitiated, but this is the way it works. Read The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin. Who owns the Fed? Well, thats the power behind the throne. It is an official secret, but I dare write the name of N.M. Rothschild as represented by the Bank of England. In short, the Bush family, Enron and Ken Lay had the right political, business, intelligence and military connections necessary to facilitate the scheme I outline. Enron was a business laboratory directed by big banks. In the new world of deregulation created by the Bushes, Enron and others, the purpose of the company was to throw things against the wall and see what stuck. Enron employees were merely minions of those who controlled the purse strings. Enron was the perfect environment in which to try something new like weather derivatives. In light of the histories of corruption exhibited by those involved, it is understandable that the weather derivatives market they created may have been part of yet another murderous rip-off. While most financial market trading operations are seen as unreliable, Enrons trading desk was often regarded as their most productive and stable business. Could this have been because they were getting inside information about weather produced by geoengineering activities? I dont know. I do know they had the ways and means necessary. Enron had motive and opportunity. Enron benefited from weather derivatives. You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE Notes: Websites: Peter A.

3	Food Speculation The Return Of The Global Hunger GamesBy Graham Vanbergen The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation currently estimates that about 795 million people of the 7.3 billion people in the world, or one in nine, aresuffering from chronic undernourishment in the period 2014-2016. We are not talking of poverty here but life-threatening food shortages driven by the pursuers of profit. About one in eight people, or 13.5 percent of the overall population, remain chronically undernourished in developingregions. As the most populous region in the world, Asia is now home to two out of three of the worlds undernourished people. By 2014, food speculation by banks and hedge funds had risen to $126bn, a figure that has doubled from 2008.From 2000 to 2015 global food prices rose a staggering 94 percent; and although they have been falling consistently over the last year, prices are still only 14 percent lower than all-time highs. To give some perspective, speculative investment in agricultural commodities five years ago was 20 times the amount spent by all countries on agricultural aid; and Goldman Sachs, for instance, earned $600 million from it. It was George Bush who deregulated this market with the Commodities Futures Modernization Act in 2000. Hence the astronomic price risesthat followed and it is now estimated that 115 million people has suffered as a direct result. Various attempts have been made to curb speculation of food prices but most countries have done nothing significant. From Global Justice Now: When it comes to financial market regulation, there is a lot at stake. And none more so than in the area of the commodities market where years of deregulation was a major factor in driving food price spikes back in 2008. Staple foods like wheat and corn soared to record levels driving hunger and poverty across the globe. But afterfour years of public campaigning, the EU agreed to introduce legislation to limit the amount that companies can bet on food prices and curb harmful speculation. Public pressure played a key role in winning the legislation and its needed once again. The European commission has been considering proposals from the European regulator to implement the legislation. But these proposals are massively weak and would be ineffective at curbing speculation. So Global Justice Now supporters wrote to key MEPs to pressure the European parliament not to accept weakened proposals. The parliamentary lead negotiator communicated this to the commission: The latest drafts were far from being acceptable for the European Parliament. Especially the position limits regime urgently needs a comprehensive redrafting in order to effectively curb food speculation. Global Justicealso coordinated an open letter to the European commission endorsed by 5000 supporters and 26 European organisations to pressure the commission to reject the weak proposals. Itdelivered this letter last month and the commission has now sent the weak proposals back to the European regulator and asked for them to be reviewed. Weak rules have not been stopped from being proposed but this is a good development and shows that public pressure is making a difference. Pressure groups such as Global Justicecontinue to campaign to make sure that the hard-fought for new rules are as strong as possible to stop corporations from betting on hunger. Read their open letter on food speculation to the EU Commissioner. World Hunger reports that There has been the least progress in the sub- Saharan region, where more than one in four people remain undernourished the highest prevalence of any region in the world. Nevertheless, the prevalence of undernourishment in sub-Saharan Africa has declined from 33.2 percent in 1990 92 to 23.2 percent in 201416, although the number of undernourished people has actually increased. Percentages are one thing to crow about but the actual number of the worlds hungry is actually increasing. The target set at the 1996 World Food Summit was to halve the number of undernourished people by 2015 from their number in 1990-92. However, in 25 years, although the actual number of hungry people in developing regions fell by over 200 million, from 991 million to 795 million the goal was495 million (1/2 of 991 million),and was not reached. This number is now on the rise again. Hunger continues to take its largest toll in Southern Asia, which includes the countries of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The estimate of 276 million chronically undernourished people in 201416 is only marginally lower than the number in 25 years earlier. Eastern Asia (where China is by far the largest country) and South-eastern Asia (including Indonesia, Philippines, Mynamar, Vietnam and others) have reduced undernutriton substantially. Food speculation continues to drive global hunger and with the global movement of refugees now at its highest since the second world war, hunger is on the increase. UNHCR reports that the number of global refugees has increased to19.5 million worldwide with the number forcibly displaced from their homes now standingat60 million today. 42,500 every single day are now leaving their homes in pursuit of safe refuge adding 15 million a year to the misery. Globally 161 million under-five year olds were estimated to be stunted, 68 million were wasted and every second pregnant woman in the developing world and about 40% of preschool children are estimated to be anemic. UNHCR states that there is enough food for all people of the world but the principal problem is that many people in the world still do not have sufficient income to purchase enough food.

Southwestern Peru was also affected by the earthquake and one volcano started to spew ash on Tuesday. Ubina has not exploded in forty years, but signs of spewing ash skyward caused authorities to evacuate villagers as a precaution. The mayor said that the ash had been raining all day on Tuesday, and residents were having trouble breathing. The ones struggling with respiratory distress were given masks to help breathe. The geological and mining agency for Peru noted unusual lava build-up in recent days and warned that local residents should prepare for more evacuations.

1	In a seemingly unstoppable cycle of carnage that has become tragically commonplace throughout the biosphere, sources confirmed this morning that natural selection has killed an estimated 38 quadrillion organisms in its bloodiest day yet. Numerous reports from biomes on all seven continents revealed that over the past 24 hours, the ruthless biological phenomenon had ended the lives of a record 360 trillion animals and 908 trillion plants, along with 36.7 quadrillion fungi, protists, and bacteria. What were seeing here is the work of a hardened, practiced killer, said Yale University evolutionary biologist Richard Prum, describing the brutal process through which a massive number of victimsamong them thousands of starfish, countless patches of moss, and entire colonies of intestinal protozoawere massacred with little to no warning. These weak and helpless organisms, all of which appeared to have had no way to defend themselves against this latest wave of violence, were wiped out in cold blood. It is painfully clear this slaughter was perpetrated by a force that holds zero regard for the value of life, Prum added. We have just witnessed the deadliest moment in a genocide that aims to eradicate entire swaths of given populations, taking them out methodically and with complete indifference. Its annihilation on a global scale. According to observers, natural selection left a trail of dead in such conflict-plagued regions as sub-Saharan Africa, the Pacific Ocean, and the troposphere, with the fatalities including slain emperor penguins, coral snakes, and blue-green algae, as well as several swarms of blue-winged wasps, an assortment of hyacinth clusters, 131 orangutans, and various microorganisms. All were reportedly unequipped to escape the terror sweeping their ecosystems. In what many are calling its most grotesque tactic, the killer appeared to single out the most vulnerable organismsparticularly the young and the physically weakfor its murderous rampage, slaughtering them without mercy as other members of their species fled in panic. Reports indicated those who escaped the carnage were left with no choice but to try to move on with their lives and survive even as the ruthless killer continued stalking them. Virtually no species was unaffected by yesterdays killing spree, experts stated. This is the work of a killer without empathy, without conscience, said Jyotsna Ramjee, a University of Calcutta zoologist who confirmed that the days death toll was the largest on official records dating back to 1859, when the perpetrator was first identified. We have just witnessed the deadliest moment in a genocide that aims to eradicate entire swaths of given populations, taking them out methodically and with complete indifference. Its annihilation on a global scale. As horrific as these recent killings have been, I have no doubt there are more to come, she continued. Even as we speak, this vicious, unfeeling butcher is sizing up new victims, with no regard to their age, gender, or phylum. The deaths are so sudden, and so pervasive, it makes one wonder if anything can be done at all. At press time, sources confirmed the latest onslaught in the natural selection process had claimed the lives of a cottonwood tree, 800 million saltwater amoebae, and a Columbus, OH delivery driver who accidentally ingested a food item containing peanuts. 
2	White House Leaks Documents That Destroy President George W. Bushs Reputation Forever According to recent reports, a White House Memo has just leaked showing that Prime Minister Tony Blair and President George Bush were planning an attack on Iraq a year before it actually took place. The document was from Secretary of State Colin Powell, and was sent to Bush on March 28, 2002. In the message, it is disclosed that Blair agreed to act for Bush by presenting public affairs lines to prove that Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction. Blair had essentially endorsed the conflict a year before the 2003 invasion. Now, some are questioning whether the weapons already existed or if the War on Iraq was meant to support another agenda. Some also fear that the media is attempting to tear down Bush and Blair by leaking the documents right before the 2016 elections. What do you think? 
3	Towns Dont Need Tanks? San Diego Unified School District Has an MRAP NowMelissa Melton Though the vehicles cost nearly $750,000, many police departments across the nation have acquired their very own MRAP tanks for pennies on the dollar (and sometimes free) from the Pentagons controversial surplus program that seeks to dump military equipment into Americas neighborhoods. Now the indoctrination inside our classrooms can compete with the indoctrination on the schools front lawn that America is such a police state war zone, its totally normal for a school district to also require a tank. School districts. Are getting. Tanks. On sale special at a 99-percent-plus discount, theSan Diego Unified School District recently got a good bargain, too; it only cost the district $5,000 to transport the $733,000 vehicle to campus. But dont worry. San Diego Unified School District Police Chief Ruben Littlejohn held a news conference back in September to assure his fellow citizens that A) MRAPs arent tanks, B) there will be medical supplies and teddy bears kept in the non-tank MRAP, and C) dont worry, this really isnt a sign of the militarization of our schools. There will be medical supplies in the vehicle. There will be teddy bears in the vehicle. There will be trauma kits in the vehicle in the event any student is injured, and our officers are trained to give first aid and CPR, he said. (source) Guess they are concerned they might have a lot of Iraq-style bombings involving high-grade explosives to respond to there on the good ol campus? The police chief assured everyone the MRAP is going to be used as a rescue tool. There are even plans to paint it up like an ambulance: One commenter on KPBS wrote: They can call it a love buggy, a student patrol limo, or a campus police fun bus and then paint it pretty colors, a reader wrote, but that doesnt change the fact its a piece of military equipment that is unnecessary and sends the message that local officials are at war with students. Hm. By that logic, maybe we should start painting all the militarized riot gear our modern American police officers wear up to look like giant teddy bears complete with giant bear head helmets, too. That way they can look all cutesy poo when theyre stomping your face down with their boot and firing tear gas at you for daring to exercise your First Amendment rights on U.S. streets or shooting your dog during a no-knock SWAT raid at the wrong house. By the way, if this MRAP is such a rescue tool, what are the police doing with it? Isnt search and rescue more of an EMS and fire department thing? Oh, but apparently San Diego Unified needs an MRAP because Sandy Hook: The district said the rescue vehicle is one of the ways it is responding to the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, and preparing itself for potential disasters in the future. (source) So having an MRAP is going to magically stop school shootings now? Why not just post a few more gun-free zone signs around campus? The sheer amount of common sense and sound logic flowing out of this sheriff and the school district in justifying their MRAP purchase really should make us all feel so much better that A) these people are in positions like sheriff and superintendent of a whole school district within our education system in the first place and B) that these people are also now in charge of a freaking teddy bear filled tank. The MRAP should go really well with the whole police state apparatus being erected on that campus, according to another KPBS commenter: San Diego Unified Police have been carrying military-grade semi-automatic weapons in their car trunks for a year and a half. Last year the entire Education Center at 4100 Normal Street was converted into a locked-down i.d.-card-swiping system, paid for with federal Homeland Security money that is subverting civilian institutions and American values. (source) Wow. With crime down to 20+ year lows, why exactly is America becoming a war zone again? Because it actually is one? Or is it because people like this justifying the fact that were arming it like one (That last bit was rhetorical.) Resources

3	As Natives Declare Treaty Rights, Police Admit Defeat Cite Lack of Manpower to Remove DAPL ProtestersBy Jack Burns For months now, The Free Thought Projects spotlight has been shining on the, some might say, dark and dirty deeds of law enforcement and their treatment of largely Native American peaceful protesters. Attack dogs were unleashed on the protesters in September, injuring six, and an additional 30 protesters, including children, were sprayed with pepper spray. In all, more than 260 people have reportedly been arrested since the protests began in Morton County over 100 this weekend alone. The sheriffs offices announcement comes just two days after The Free Thought Project encouraged readers to contact Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeiers office demanding him to allow for peaceful protest, even providing a link to a petition for his removal. Spokeswoman Donnell Preskey told The Associated Press the department doesnt have the manpower to remove the more than 100 protesters from the property. We cant right now, she said. Preskey said the land belongs to a Texas-based firm, Energy Transfer Partners, and was purchased from a local rancher for an undisclosed price. According to the AP, the Native Americans claim the land is theirs by way of an, 1851 treaty and they wont leave until the pipeline is stopped. We never ceded this land, said protester Joye Braun. The $3.8 billion pipeline, most of which has been completed, crosses through North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois. Opponents worry about potential effects on drinking water on the Standing Rock Siouxs reservation and farther downstream on the Missouri River, as well as destruction of cultural artifacts, writes the AP. The disputed ranch is more than 100 years old and was the first one to be inducted into the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame. According to the AP, It is within a half-mile of a larger encampment on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land where the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and hundreds of others have gathered in protest. Protesters do not have a federal permit to be on the Corps land, but the agency said it wouldnt evict them due to free speech reasons. Authorities have criticized that decision, saying the site has been a launching point for protests at construction sites in the area. While the announcement by the Morton County Sheriffs office may signal a change in tone and the potential for more relaxed police tactics, it remains to be seen. Late Monday, Standing Rock Sioux chairman Dave Archambault II issued the following statement, calling on the Obama Administrations U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the militant treatment of its peaceful protesters, and asked for an injunction to the pipelines construction. Archambault wrote: The militarization of local law enforcement and enlistment of multiple law enforcements agencies from neighboring states is needlessly escalating violence and unlawful arrests against peaceful protestors at Standing Rock. We do not condone reports of illegal actions, but believe the majority of peaceful protestors are reacting to strong-arm tactics and abuses by law enforcement. Thousands of water protectors have joined the Tribe in solidarity against DAPL, without incident or serious injury. Yet, North Dakota law enforcement have proceeded with a disproportionate response to their nonviolent exercise of their First Amendment rights, even going as far as labeling them rioters and calling their every action illegal. We are disappointed to see that our state and congressional delegations and Gov. Jack Dalrymple have failed to ensure the safety and rights of the citizens engaged in peaceful protests who were arrested on Saturday. Their lack of leadership and commitment to creating a dialogue towards a peaceful solution reflects not only the unjust historical narrative against Native Americans, but a dangerous trend in law enforcement tactics across America. For these reasons, we believe the situation at Standing Rock deserves the immediate and full attention of the U.S. Department of Justice. Furthermore, the DOJ should impose an injunction to all developments at the pipeline site to keep ALL citizens law enforcement and protestors safe. The DOJ should be enlisted and expected to investigate the overwhelming reports and videos demonstrating clear strong-arm tactics, abuses and unlawful arrests by law enforcement. The chairmans request seems to validate many of the reports coming from the field, that peaceful protesters are being labeled as rioters and are not being treated with the dignity they feel they deserve. As The Free Thought Project reported two days ago, many of the protesters are being thrown to the ground, squashed underfoot, strip-searched, and forced to remove sacred hair braids all considered strong-arm tactics, abuses, and unlawful, by Archambault. Jack Burns writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Confusing but it seems the biggest question should be whos land is it? The Creators Get frelling real Frelling?Farscape fan? Jefferson and Tom Paine both wrote that the nature (land/rivers/ mineral wealth/forests, etc) that was created belongs to humanity in common. Those who exploit it for profit owe the community rent for using community resources. Or did God give the land to the slave owners (95% of signers of Constitution were slave owners) ? The land, at root, belongs to the natives, who also owned in communally. I propose we give it backor at least pay for it. I bet it was sold for a few blankets and Guns so they could be used for a short time until they were unable to get any bullets and were then attacked by the Christian Warriors with a good supply of Guns. This proves that if enough dedicated protesters show up dont back downthe corporate imposed Police States last resort of overtly militarized, heavy-handed tactics by their psycho mercenary knuckle-dragging goons.. is eventually sterilized with sunlightmuch like the same tactics employed by Gandhi. I agree. It also proves that to be changeably effective the violence of the perpetrators (private security personnel, etc.) can only be neutralized in a sustainable method by doing the exact opposite: By using heart, brains and commonsense cycles of violence can be stopped. It also highlights the need for a free press. The main question is who is bank rolling these people?? They are being supported by their own efforts and those who support their crusade for justice. We know who is supporting the pipeline deal: government in collusion with private interests whose only motive is profit. The only beneficiary is inside trader billionaire Warren Buffet, it youre following the money, He also funded Hillary Clinton along with George Soros who also funded bombing of the BOSTON MARATHON which is comon knowledge of the CIa and the FBI but like Hillary are all still free. Evidence? BTW, far right websites are not credible sources. Its amazing that you have inside knowledge of both the secretive FBI and the CIA. What are your sources, Ernie? Outstanding comment. Too few know about these issues and how they came about. Trump blasts Obamacare, which he formerly supported, claiming he was also against it. Why then was the registeredDemocrat give hundreds of thousands to Reid and Pelosi? In 2010 immediately after the passage of Obamacare Trump continued to donate to Reid. Trump has donated at least $10,400 to Reid, including $4,800 for his 2010 race against Sharron Angle a victory that helped keep the Senate in Democratic hands and Reid as majority leader. So Trump continued to support Reid as majority leader in the election immediately after the passage of Obamacare. In his home state of New York, Trump also donated disproportionately to Democrats. The Post reported in 2011 that The biggest recipient of all has been the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee of New York, which has taken in more than $125,000 from Trump and his companies. Overall, Trump has given nearly $600,000 to New York state campaigns, with more than two-thirds going to Democrats. He even boasted of it. So, what am I going to do, contribute to Republicans? he told Fox NewsS Sean Hannity. I mean, one thing Im not stupid. Now Trump is on TV claiming he always opposed the ACA, tho he gave Big Money to the Democrats who rammed it through! He is not stupid; he knows that his poorly educated supporters are too stupid to look up the facts. That said, why are all the supporters of the pipeline protesters from the left. Where are the libertarians, the patriots of the right? I remember many democrats who switched parties when it was hijacked by Bush senior and George Soros Novis Ordo Seclorum New world order. The EU is actually an Adolf Hitler (Socialist wet dream). Collectivism is also extremely racist as was Hitler, Stalin, Marx, Pol Pot Soetoro alias Obama. No form of socialism has ever succeeded anywhere ever, it has always run out of other peoples money as the productive those who work for a living are taxed to extremes to support the non productive who only vote for a living because elected officials are willing allowed to steal from the electorate. THE OVER TAXED WILL ALWAYS MOVE TO A MORE SANE COUNTRY. TRUMP IS AMERICAS ONLY HOPE, HE IS ALSO THE ONLY NON POLITICAL PARASITE IN THE RUNNING ABLE TO TURN AROUND THE USA, HE HAS BUILT HIS FORTUNE BUYING UP AND REABILITATING BANKRUPT CORPORATIONS LIKE THE USA . So you want a dictator: Trumps your man. I think the Governor of North Dakota is holding the native peoples (who are demonstrating which is their right under the US Constitution), in contempt. It might be worthwhile for the voters in the State to remember his lack of empathy for Constitutional rights at the next election. Idiot Culture can (again) learn something from the courage/tenacity of the few surviving members of the owners of Sewer Nations ill-gotten holdings. Simple cognizant thought.

3	Decentralizing HollywoodTony Cartalucci, Contributor The Singularity Hub reported in their article The Democratization Of Filmmaking Riveting Sci-Fi Short Film Rha Created By A Single Person, that: Digital filmmaking is transforming Hollywood, no doubt, but for independent filmmakers, it is nothing short of a revolution. Case in point: 22-year-old German student Kaleb Lechowski. After seven months of writing, designing, and editing as well as reporting his progress on his blog, Kaleb recently posted his short sci-fi film Rha on Vimeo. The six-minute film, which does not include a single human being, was completed as part of his first-year studies in digital film design in Berlin. The article would also state: As more software tools becomeavailableto the masses and people passionateabout film invest their time into capturing their visions, we are sure to see an increasingly number of short digital films of Hollywood-level scope with a single individual in the credits. While software giants, record companies, and Hollywood studios continue their assault on Internet freedom through draconian legislation like SOPA, ACTA, and PIPA, and as they continue hounding activists like Aaron Swartz literally to his death, solutions for undermining and circumventing this legislation like the recently reported PirateBox give us ways to continue sharing. Additionally, high-quality shorts like Rha made possible with improved open source tools, illustrate that in the very near future open source entertainment will simply begin replacing big-business all together. The day will come when the urge to share proprietary intellectual property will no longer be appealing, even if it was encouraged by big-business.

1	Shock, outrage and fear were just some of the emotions that failed to sweep through this affluent Chicago suburb Monday, when word got out among residents that a white family had moved to town over the weekend. The Hansons, who recently moved to the white suburb of Glencoe, IL. Challenging none of the close-knit community's long-held beliefs and traditions, maxillofacial surgeon Bill Hanson, his wife Marge, and children Kevin and Sue are the first Caucasians to relocate to Glencoe in more than two days. 'I'll admit, I was concerned at first,' said longtime Glencoe resident and neighborhood-watch president Linda Brubaker, 50. 'I thought, how will having a white family move here affect property values? Then I realized it wouldn't at all.' 'After all,' Brubaker added, 'once I looked beneath the surface, I realized that this new family of white people isn't really so different from my own white family. Come to think of it, they're pretty much the same on the surface, as well.' Brubaker wasn't the only local to have concerns. Many openly questioned the Hansons' ability to fit in. But their trepidation vanished upon seeing that the Hansons were much like, if not exactly like, themselves, regardless ofindeed, because ofthe color of their skin. 'You know what they say about white people,' insurance agent Jack Lundegard said. 'They drive sensible cars, they bake things, they're always noodling about doing yardworkall those stereotypes. But then I took a look at the man in the mirror, and I realized, 'Hey, I'm not so unlike that myself.'' Area investment banker Harold Boyce agreed: 'I've got nothing against whites. Some of my best friends are white,' Boyce said. 'Actually, I guess they all are.' Although Bill and Marge Hanson privately harbored doubts about the move, they quickly discovered that the nearly identical sociocultural background they shared with the people of Glencoe proved not to be a handicap, but an asset, allowing them to offer something familiar to their unfamiliar new neighbors. The Schukals, who say they have 'no worries' about living next door to the Hansons. 'I did have some fears about the kids' ability to blend in and make friends with the other kids at their new school,' Marge said. 'But luckily, their classmates were very open-minded about meeting new people of the same race. In no time at all, their peers accepted them as white kids just like themselves.' Though 10-year-old Kevin came from a different white neighborhood than his new classmates, he was soon invited to join the Glencoe junior soccer league. The experience has turned out to be enriching for all involved, giving Kevin and his fellow white children the opportunity to work together as a team, regardless of their lack of differences. Thirteen-year-old Sue had a harder time adjusting. The day she arrived in Glencoe, she cried for hours, saying she missed her white friends back in Bloomfield Hills, MI. But within a few days, she began to adjust. 'I think it's helped Sue to be around other white kids,' said Dana Berner, leader of Sue's new Girl Scout troop. 'Moving is never easy, but it's lots easier when the new people are just like you.' The children's teachers say they are already fitting in at school and doing just as well, socially and academically, as their new white peers. 'I think having strong white role models in their surroundings has helped foster a sense of belonging,' said Glencoe Middle School guidance counselor Tom Luchs. 'I can identify with them, coming from a white background myself.' Perhaps the situation was best summarized by the Hansons' new next-door neighbor, Peggy Schukal, who has become fast friends with the Hansons despite their racial similarities. 'When I heard who would be moving next door, I thought to myself, 'Hanson? Isn't that a Swedish name?' It sounded sort of Scandinavian to me,' Schukal said. 'But now I know that there's no reason to judge people by such arbitrary categories. To me, the Hansons, and for that matter everyone living here in Glencoe, are more than just German-Americans, Anglo-Americans, Italian-Americans, or even Swedish-Americans. What's important is to see past all that and realize that, deep down, we're all just white Americans.' Schukal admitted that she was initially rattled by the notion that her 11-year-old daughter Sandra could one day end up dating the Hansons' son. But upon realizing that Kevin is a well-behaved, college-bound young man from a well-to-do family, her fears vanished. 'We here in Glencoe are very open about including all different types in our community,' said Fred Schukal, a dentist and Bill Hanson's new golf partner. 'To be honest, it really doesn't matter to us what part of Europe you're originally from. As the Hansons' experience here shows, there's room in Glencoe for every shade of Caucasian in God's white rainbow.' Community leaders are pleased that the Hansons' arrival has been trouble-free. 'I'm both pleased and relieved to say that having this new white family in town, at least so far, hasn't caused a single problem,' Glencoe police chief Wayne Girardeau said. 'Glencoe can be proudly held up as a model to other suburban communities across America that would like to integrate more whites, but are afraid it wouldn't work out.' 
2	BREAKING: Russian Attack Choppers Enter American Territory, Obama Responds Pitifully According to recent reports, Russian nuclear bombers have conducted at least 16 incursions in to Northwestern United States air defense identification zones over the last week and a half. United States officials claim that this is a sharp and distinct increase in aerial penetrations. The increase comes at a time when there are heightened tensions between the United States and Russia over Ukraine. The incidents have caused United States jet fighters to take guard several times, although we arent hearing much about it. 
2	Political Legend Trey Gowdy Just Got The Best News To Start The New Year Trey Gowdy has made a name for himself as a tough defender of justice. No one has worked harder to hold former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton accountable for her actions. Thats why it is great news that Gowdy defeated Democrat Christ Fedalei in his district by a wide margin and will be serving our country once again. I am grateful for the privilege of representing the people of Greenville and Spartanburg Counties again, Gowdy commented on the honor. The Upstate of South Carolina has an unparalleled depth and breadth of assets, making it an ideal place to live and work. I am incredibly fortunate to be able to represent this district in the House of Representatives. As part of his campaign, Gowdy promised to continue opposing Hillary and progressives like her, who have done harm to the United States and corrupted our system. The legislative branch needs to stand up for itself, Gowdy commented. It was supposed to be the most powerful of the three. Now its the weakest. What do you think? Do you support Gowdy continuing his legacy?

The shocking interview was conducted before Obama took office, and before she was coached to carefully tiptoe around her true beliefs. Michelle quickly makes the interview about race. Michelle starts her controversial rhetoric by claiming that black people have an inferiority complex, which they should combat by electing her husband to office. She then goes on to discuss the oppression she has faced as a black woman. Throughout her claims, she refers to people of color. Watch the video below and tell us what you think of Michelles rant. 
2	Ralph Peters Is Suspended By Fox News After Vehement Attack On Obama [VIDEO] Retired LTC. Ralph Peters spoke regarding Obamas speech on radical Islamic terror, or rather what was really his gun control speech. Obama hardly did his job of helping Americans feel secure, and fit the speech to his agenda of gun control. After lashing out at Obama, Peters was suspended. He refered to Obama as a p****. He said that Obama couldnt give a s**t about the dangers of radical Islamists. Do you think Peters should be given a promotion for speaking the truth? 
1	As widespread anticipation for the May 26th premiere of the new season of Arrested Development mounted, on-demand media provider Netflix delicately cautioned fans not to get too excited for the series, seeing as it is of course a television program and not an actual solution to any of the world's various catastrophic problems. 'While we are glad that viewers are excited for Arrested Developmentand we are excited as wellI would like to quickly remind people that we are talking about a TV show here, and not, say, a cure for cancer, or a technology that would reverse the ruinous effects of climate change,' said Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, gently adding that the acclaimed show will not even begin to address any of the personal or socioeconomic problems that human beings, including each and every viewer, experience on a daily basis. 'Also, war, famine, poverty, inequality, and political inefficacy will continue to exist after the premiere of this show and will not in any way be remedied by the admittedly highly amusing misadventures of the Bluth family. It's good to be happy but, you know, maybe think about taking it down a notch.' At press time, not a single fan of Arrested Development was paying even one moment's attention to Netflix's announcement. 
3	India May Ban GMO Crop Field Trials for 10 YearsAnthony Gucciardi The nations new expert committee appointed by the Supreme Court of India is now calling upon the Indian government to enact a ban on all GMO crop field trials for the next 10 years. The new law would forbid any biotech agencies from testing their latest GMO crops on Indias soil, therefore preventing the serious issue of contamination and environmental damage contamination that is much more than an unlikely but problematic scenario. Monsanto has been caught in the past contaminating even organic seed varieties, and has gone as far as to plant their experimental crops before the USDA allowed them to. Thankfully, the organic farmers were able to catch the contamination before it spread. If the contamination was not caught, however, it could have gone anywhere and compromised the very genetic integrity of non-GMO farming grounds. It is for this reason that many companies outside of the United States generally dislike purchasing from U.S. farmers, as they sometimes contain even trace levels of GMO contaminants. More and more we receive reports of farmers being completely cut off from other nations after being found to contain trace levels of GMO contamination. It has even led a panel of expert scientists to call upon the EPA to take action, fearing that resistant bugs known as rootworms will soon ruin the GMO corn industry as a whole. Whether or not India will adhere to the recommendations of this committee is not yet known, but other nations certainly have listened to their own panels and experts over the past few weeks. India may soon join the ranks of Russia, Poland, France, Hungary, and Peru in taking a direct stand against Monsanto and GMOs as a whole.

3	Hey Canadians, Mandatory Vaccinations Are Coming To A School Near YouBy Dan Dicks First, vaccines that do not cause great harm. Then, after vaccines become universally accepted, From Jim Stone NO MATTER WHAT the story, DO NOT get vaccinated, They already put cancer causing agents in the vaccines! Cancer is big business too. Cut burn is all allopathic doctors promote in the medical mafia. Several doctors that were researching and promoting natural cures were all suicided recently. Maybe parents can forge documents or just pull your kids out of indoctrination centers. Ill show them a rational conversation alright ! Idiot Canadians will jump all over people against vaccinations as if they are a threat to public health. Firstly, since when did people become such pathetic cowards, that they are now afraid of someone not being vaccinated. Secondly, if vaccinations are so effective, then they have nothing to fear? Do the pharmaceutical COMPANIES have to pay for this kind of support? Or is the public just brainwashed?

'Glad that's done,' said catcher and team captain Jason Varitek, moments after the final out of the Fall Classic was recorded. 'It would have been optimal, of course, to get the ALCS over with in the minimum four games, but at least we got these four wrapped up nice and quick. Whew.' Varitek added that he doesn't understand why they have to have a whole parade for this. 
2	Thug Who Murdered Iraq Veteran And Wife Served His Sentencing... See What He Got By this point, most of us have heard the tragic story about the Iraq veteran and his wife, who were minding their business at home when a group of thugs broke in. What started as a robbery ended in rape and murder. Now, Kesaun Sykes from California, just received his sentence from the incident. He was convicted a few months ago for the murder of Sergeant Jan Pietrzak, 24, and his wife Quiana Jenkins-Pietrzak, 26, in 2008. The incident took place just two months after the couple got married. Sykes is facing life, as are Emrys John and Tyrone Miller, his two partners in crime. Kevin Cox, the fourth man involved in the incident, was sentenced to life in prison without parole. According to reports, all members of the group took part in the robbery and raping the vets wife in front of him. Eventually, they shot them both. He earned his place on death row, said Riverside County Deputy District Attorney Daniel DeLimon. If people are still alive, and youre trying to burn the house down on top of them, obviously, you are in, you are in all the way. What do you think of the sentence? 
3	Middle East on the BoilStephen Lendman, Contributor Reports suggest the worst ahead. Iran remains a longtime US/ Israeli target. Syrias very much on the boil. Washingtons proxy war rages. Its been ongoing since early last year. It was planned many years ago. Previous articles explained that America wants all independent governments replaced by pro-Western puppet ones. War is the bottom line option of choice when other methods fail. Direct US/NATO intervention looms. Deploying attack Patriot missiles in Turkey near Syrias border comes perilously close to declaring war. Doing so may follow. Germany agreed to participate. It approved sending 400 troops to the Turkish/Syrian border. Washington, Berlin, and the Netherlands will provide Patriot missiles. On Tuesday, NATO formerly approved deploying them. Operationally, the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) will control them. Washington considers the Persian Gulf and Mediterranean Sea its private lakes. Powerful naval forces dominate their waters ominously. The USS Eisenhower sits off Syrias coast. On board are eight fighter bomber squadrons and 8,000 troops. It joined the USS Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group. About 2,500 marines are on board. Four ships have Aegis missile interceptors. Some are nuclear armed. US firepower off Syrias coast can destroy the entire country. It remains to be seen whats next. The combination of powerful warships, heavy armaments, thousands of combat troops, dozens of attack aircraft, offensive Patriot missiles, Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System readiness, and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) capability suggests direct US-led intervention could happen any time. On Tuesday, the Senate overwhelmingly passed a 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) amendment. It requires Obama to inform Congress of intentions to impose a Syrian no-fly zone or planned intervention in other ways. Voting 92 -6, it requires a report on military activities to deny or significantly degrade the use of (Syrian) air power against civilian and opposition groups in Syria. It suggests possible US intervention. Allies should be involved if it comes. US boots on the group should be avoided. Hostilities could erupt any time. Opinion in Washington is divided. Influential hawks want something done now. Amendment language said its not a declaration of war or authorization of force. It didnt rule them out. It wants US military options evaluated. It suggests establishing a no-fly zone. Attack Patriot missiles deployed on Syrias border impose one. The Senate amendment adds more teeth. It suggests possible intervention in one of three ways or a combination of two or more. US aggression may involve offensive Patriot missiles, no-fly zones over population centers, and/or US-led NATO air strikes. Backers called the amendment a reasonable assessment of how Pentagon forces can degrade and deter Assads air capability. Some call it step one toward direct US involvement. Senators want to be kept informed about plans. Most House members likely concur. They passed their NDAA measure earlier this year. Both versions will be reconciled once a final Senate bill passes. Obama will sign it into law. He made baseless threats about Syrias chemical weapons. He called using them crossing a red line. Hes looking for ways to provoke full-scale intervention. When America wants war, pretexts are claimed to justify it. When none exist, theyre invented. Washington wants Assad removed. Expect full-scale war. Its coming. Timing may follow Obamas January inauguration. It could be sooner. Reports suggest Israeli involvement in plans to remove Assad. A previous article discussed Israel approaching Jordanian officials about attacking Syrian chemical weapons sites. Baseless US claims suggest Assad has sarin nerve gas bombs ready for use. They say hes positioning them at as yet unknown locations. Syria categorically denies it. A Foreign Ministry statement said military forces would not use chemical weapons, if (they) had them, against its own people under any circumstances. On December 2, The New York Times hyped the baseless chemical weapons threat. Unnamed officials were cited as sources. A US one said activity we are seeing suggests some potential chemical weapon preparation. It goes beyond moving them from one location to another, he claimed. No evidence whatever of planned use was given. Leaking the chemical weapons story was strategically timed. It came ahead of NATO foreign ministers meeting in Brussels. They approved deploying Patriot missiles. Doing so permits establishing no-fly zones over Syrian population centers without Security Council authorization. Incrementally, US-led NATO heads for war. Following his one day Istanbul meeting with Turkeys Prime Minister Erdogan, Vladimir Putin issued a veiled warning. It was meant for Washington, saying: What we are concerned about is Syrias future. We dont want the same mistakes to be repeated in the near future. We shall remember how some regimes supported the militants in Libya and how badly that turned out. At the same time, Putin knows Washingtons war on Syria looms. Russia and China have much to lose if America achieves unchallenged regional control. It remains to be seen how both countries will respond. Egypt also remains very much on the boil. On November 23, protests erupted throughout the country. They came after President Mohamed Morsis November 22 decree asserted dictatorial powers. Despite strong opposition, Egypts Constituent Assembly approved a draft constitution on November 30. In mid-December, a national referendum will be held on whether to adopt it. Elections in early 2013 will follow. Morsi said once a new constitution is approved, hell rescind his unlimited executive powers. Egyptians are justifiably skeptical. Similar earlier promises proved hollow. Washington supports him and his Muslim Brotherhood led government. Theyre reliable imperial allies. Theyre too important to lose. So is Egypts military. It retains enormous power. It has considerable say over whatever it chooses to control. Morsis government is Egypts public face. Opponents and supporters squared off for days. Police attacked anti-government protesters. On December 6, tanks and armored vehicles protected the presidential palace. Three Morsi advisors resigned. His planned Wednesday address was cancelled. Prime Minister Hisham Qandil called for calm and national dialogue. Since protests erupted, six people have died. Hundreds more were injured and/or arrested. Clashes show no signs of ending. On Tuesday, protesters broke through presidential palace barbed wire barriers. Morsi fled for his own protection. Later he returned. Street clashes reflect pandemonium. Demonstrators call their efforts a last warning. They demand Morsi rescind his degree. They oppose the hastily written constitution. Its based on Sharia law. It establishes an Islamic dictatorship and military rule. It hardens the worst of what most Egyptians oppose. It keeps Egypt on the boil. It assures vicious crackdowns against opponents. Public anger erupted on and off last year. Broken pledges continued them this year. Ousting Mubarak reaped the whirlwind. America wanted him replaced. Morsi is Washingtons man in Cairo. Obama wants Muslim Brotherhood officials and Egypts military running things. Western funding supports them. Considerable amounts are provided. Morsi is a US-educated technocrat. His public persona belies his collusion with Washington and other NATO countries. Hes hardline anti-Assad. He supports anti-Syrian death squads. He feigns Palestinian support. Hes another tinpot regional despot. Hes secure as long as he retains Western support. Hes got it as long as he remembers whos boss. Egyptians are no better off than before anti-Mubarak clashes erupted. Their legitimate grievances are ignored. Its the same throughout most of the region. Throughout most of the region, people want jobs, decent pay, better services, ending corruption and repression, as well as liberating democratic change in a part of the world where poverty, unemployment and despotism reflect daily life for tens of millions. Regional despots enforce the worst of conditions. Fed up people want change. Theyre on their own against repressive entrenched power. Western support makes their liberating struggles harder. Expect no resolution easily or quickly. Dark forces will go all out to crush them. Real change remains a distant dream.

3	Fracking Chemicals Linked to Birth Defects, Infertilityselfnews Post More than 700 chemicals are used in the fracking process, and many of them disturb hormone function, said one of the studys authors, Susan C. Nagel, PhD, of the University of Missouri School of Medicine. With fracking on the rise, populations may face greater health risks from increased endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure. The water samples from drilling sites had higher levels of EDC activity that could interfere with the bodys response to androgens, a class of hormones that includes testosterone, as well as the reproductive hormone estrogen. Drilling site water samples had moderate to high levels of EDC activity, and samples from the Colorado River the drainage basin for the natural gas drilling sites had moderate levels. In comparison, little activity was measured in the water samples from the sites with little drilling. Fracking is exempt from federal regulations to protect water quality, but spills associated with natural gas drilling can contaminate surface, ground and drinking water, Nagel said. We found more endocrine-disrupting activity in the water close to drilling locations that had experienced spills than at control sites. This could raise the risk of reproductive, metabolic, neurological and other diseases, especially in children who are exposed to EDCs. The study, Estrogen and Androgen Receptor Activities of Hydraulic Fracturing Chemicals and Surface and Ground Water in a Drilling-Dense Region, was published online, ahead of print. 
3	U.S. War Policy Has Created The Multi-polar WorldBy Brandon Turbeville The first major crack in the iron curtain of the Anglo-American world hegemon started becoming apparent with the emergence of the U.S. destabilization and proxy war against Syria. While the NATO/American proxy war has left hundreds of thousands of Syrians dead, hundreds of thousands more displaced, and destroyed much of the Syrian infrastructure as well as crippled the Syrian economy, another result of American policy in Syria is that it has strengthened and even created alliances that otherwise may not have existed not only between Middle Eastern countries but European, Asian, and African nations as well. Unfortunately for the United States, these new alliances of its targets were created out of a political, economic, and military necessity by which to survive the Western onslaught of destabilization, sanctions, and war aimed at these respective nations. Thus, if the West wanted to break resistance to its hegemonic system, it has managed instead to encourage the opposite. While already an axis of mutual interest, the crisis in Syria has resulted in the strengthening of ties between Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah. Not only a strategic alliance, this arc of resistance has solidified ties that are slowly pulling Iraq away from the influence of the United States. Indeed, the Iraqis are still tethered to the United States due largely to bribery, deception, economic threats, and the decreasing dependency on the United States for military assistance to combat ISIS. Syria itself is spreading its wings as it mops up Americas terrorists. Reaching out to not only the nations of the resistance axis and Russia, it is reaching out and solidifying relationships with Russia and China as well as with other European and African nations like the Czech Republic and Egypt. Likewise, if the ties between Iran and the Houthis were not strong enough before the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition, they certainly are now. Despite no credible evidence that Iran is providing weapons to the Houthis, there is little doubt that the Iranians are providing whatever support they can in whatever form that can take and that they will do so in the future. Russia, of course, factors in as the biggest and most important player in the strategic realignment with its insistence (which has come as a result of the U.S. aggression across the planet) in the emergence of a multi-polar world. Russias reunification with Crimea, support of the Ukrainian rebels, as well as its support of Syria is only the tip of the iceberg. A growing cooperation with China and with a host of other nations throughout the world by virtue of the carrot as opposed to the stick is rapidly drawing more and more nations into the Russian fold. Iran, too, having not expressed a desire for empire, nonetheless is now beginning to express interest in stretching its muscles and expanding its own influence. How much of this newly expressed desire is innate and how much is simply a necessary act of self-defense against and encroaching war machine that sees Iran as next in line for destruction is unclear. The fact that it is happening, however, is not in doubt. These new alliances may not have ever taken shape and solidified had the United States not insisted on acting as the battering ram for the Anglo-American system across the world and squandered all the respect and good will that existed for it in so many nations. The U.S. could easily have won many nations over by using positive reinforcement and enticement such as development, higher living standards, and peace. Instead, it has bombed, burned, bribed, and destabilized itself across the globe to the point that it has become the number one threat to world peace, a reality that is being acknowledged by more and more countries by the day. What could have been the greatest force for peace, stability, democracy, and high living standards has been utterly squandered into being the greatest force for the opposite. If the United States continues down this path of imperialism, it will soon find itself not only hated the world over, but collapsed, weak, and bitter while the nations it has targeted in the final days of its war push have united against it. We can only hope that they have more restraint, good will, and compassion than what the U.S. has shown to them.

It discusses the inevitable Decline of The Nation State paradigm, including the US, while supporting Chinas rise, resulting in a world divided into smaller units consisting of regional institutions under an international body of growing authority modeled after the UN. Notice how nothing is said in the Panel Reports about the nations comprising the new regional governments cutting their umbilical cords to Rothschilds Bank of International Settlements, the core parent of all central banks.

1	God confirmed Monday that He has misplaced His special decision-making coin. 'I have no idea where I put it,' a visibly distraught God said of the coin, which He has used for more than four billion years to determine everything from the direction of breezes to genocides. 'I remember flipping it last night for [Monroe, MI, couple Mark and Patti Brenton's] attempt at conception, but I haven't seen it since.' God said He hopes to locate the coin before 7:15 a.m. Thursday, when United Flight 251 takes off from Seattle with actress Dixie Carter on board. 
1	According to a study published Friday by researchers at the University of Minnesota, mosquitoes have no physiological reason to bite humans, and in fact do so only out of spite. 'For years, entomologists assumed members of the Culicidae family drew blood for sustenance, but as it turns out, they feed almost exclusively on pollen,' said study author Dr. Robert Benenson, who explained the sociopathic insects either spit out human blood immediately after they bite, or else carry it from person to person, gratuitously killing millions as they spread diseases like malaria and dengue fever. 'While there is literally zero biological necessity for their bloodsucking behavior, mosquitoes enjoy putting a damper on our outdoor activities and expend tremendous energy spreading deadly pestilence throughout the world. They just really, really hate us.' Benenson noted that mosquitoes bite a variety of vertebrates besides humans and are especially fond of leaving itchy patches on the skin of baby pandas, koala bears, and very small puppies. 
1	KOROLYOV, RUSSIAU.S. and Russian scientists are increasingly excited about the Mir space station project, which promises to reveal more than has ever been known about the scientific relationship between weightlessness and mortal terror. Scientists scramble to repair a gaping hole in the Mir space station's exterior hull. The large rupture is part of a joint U.S.-Russian effort to learn more about spaceborne panic. 'By stranding our scientists on a dilapidated space station with faulty wiring, loose hardware, and malfunctioning air systems,' NASA head Daniel Goldin said, 'we have created extremely favorable conditions for learning about spaceborne panic.' The two Russians and one American on board the station are reportedly terrified beyond lucidity. Among the groundbreaking experiments conducted on board Mir: a June 25 collision with a cargo craft that depressurized the Spektr module; last week's emergency power shortage, caused by a disconnected cable; and the periodic release of 'dry ice' steam that simulates a shipboard fire. All have been deemed a huge success by agency heads. 'They are in a constant state of what aerospace scientists term 'mind-shattering terror,' frightened for their very lives,' Russian mission director Vladimir Solovyov said. 'And we have not even used the hull-mounted Alien puppet that taps on the window yet.' 'We have also taken huge leaps in our understanding of the patterns created when one wets his pants in the weightlessness of space,' Solovyov said. 'The urine spreads out in an expanding sphere, something we did not expect.' Taking a break from his busy schedule, astronaut Michael Foale told ABC News reporters: 'Where is Mommy?' 'Please tell me the access code to the Soyuz capsule,' Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Lazutkin said. 'I would like to return to the chaotic government and widespread hunger of my homeland.' Scientists expect to gain even more useful data during an experiment at 3 a.m. tomorrow. As the astronauts sleep, whirling red siren lights will flood the cabin while an ear-splitting klaxon alarm jolts them awake. Detailed scientific data will then be collected on such variables as open weeping, defecation and hair loss. 
2	U.S. Marine Tells Obama To Step Down As President In The White House Recently, U.S. Marine Manny E. Vega decided to pay a trip to the White House just before dawn. He wanted to exercise his constitutionally guaranteed rights of speech and assembly. And in order to test these rights, he took a loud speaker and started tearing Obama apart. I think that the American people have had about enough of you, Vegas said into the speaker. Time to resign, Mr. President. Time to resign. Vega has been a vocal advocate for veterans. What do you think of his rant? 
2	Louisiana Welfare Recipients Must Get Employed In 3 Months According to recent reports, legislators in Louisiana have just voted to require welfare recipients to obtain a job or enroll in a training program within three months or risk losing their benefits. The changes will affect all able-bodied recipients between the ages of 18 and 49 who do not have dependents. Those men and women will be required to land a job for at least 20 hours per week, or enroll in a federally approved job training program if they are unable to secure work. We believe the more people working in the state, the better for the state, the better for the individuals, Suzy Sonnier, secretary for the Department of Children and Family Services told reporters. It truly is a win, win. While many support the new legislation, some people oppose the move, feeling that it is unfairly punitive. Others argue that recipients should be required to work more than 20 hours a week, and the requirements arent strong enough. What do you think? Do you support the new requirements? 
2	Thugs Burst Into Old Mans Home, Learn Epic Truth About Grandpa According to recent reports, three thugs who forced their way inside an 80-year-old mans home faced immediate justice when he pulled out his pistol. West Virginias MetroNews reported that the incident took place Monday evening in Fairmont. 23-year-old Whitney Kabiru knocked on the mans door, claiming that she needed to make an emergency phone call. The man felt that something wasnt right, so he concealed a pistol on himself before he opened the door. When the woman stepped into his home, two other men, 28-year-olds Larry Shaver and John Grossklaus, followed her in with a handgun and threatened to shoot him unless the man gave them what they wanted. Instead of complying, the man took matters into his own hands. He began to open fire, and at least three rounds hit Shaver and Grossklauswho collapsed to the ground in pain. Kabiru ran off, and the 80-year-old man was able to contact authorities. They found Shaver dead and Grossklaus in need of immediate medical attention. Karibu was found and arrested hours later. If it werent for our second amendment rights, this story could have ended very differently. 
2	All Americans To Be Microchipped In 1 Year Find Out Why [VIDEO] Do you know the story of The Mark Of The Beast? The Mark of The Beast referenced in the Bible in the book of Revelation 13:16 It says that all people will be forced to receive a mark on their right hands or on the foreheads. According to conservative post, it tells of a time in the probable near future where nothing will be bought or sold without this marking. It has long been speculated what it will be. A tattoo? An arm band or head band of sorts. Now it seems modern technology has caught up with Biblical prophecy and we can truly grasp what the mark could potentially look like. Possibly an implantable chip your hand. This chip will interact with your body. Scan it, and it can tell your blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, or any other piece of information of medical history. It will integrate into every major system including your credit cards, your banks, etc. No identity theft, no fraud. Does this sound like the mark of the beast? Will you let them put a chip in your hand? 
2	Trump Forces Obamas Hand In Launching 100s Of Deportation Raids Obama has caved on a new policy that plans to launch hundreds of deportation raids in the next couple of months. Democrats are shocked, and Trump claims to be behind the move. Geraldo Rivera tweeted in outrage. #POTUS plan to muster authorities to round up deport even non-criminal undocumented mostly Latino immigrants on Christmas eve makes me sick. These raids will be carried out on illegal immigrants that have ignored orders to leave the country. Bernie Sanders, Gov. Martin OMalley, and Hillary Clinton have all expressed their concern over the plan. Donald Trump took to Twitter in celebration. Wow, because of the pressure put on by me, ICE TO LAUNCH LARGE SCALE DEPORTATION RAIDS. Its about time! Does everyone see that the Democrats and President Obama are now, because of me, starting to deport people who are here illegally. Politics! This is fantastic news. Obama seems to have less of a backbone than ever, and Trump is fighting for America. Do you support this plan to deport illegal immigrants? 
1	Houseguest Kevin Keegan announced Sunday morning that, despite being totally awake, he nonetheless intends to remain on the living room couch he slept on last night until one or more of the house's occupants gets up. Keegan, a Boston resident staying with his cousin Barbara's family while in California for a job interview, said that he awoke at the unusually early hour of 6:45 a.m. 'probably because of the time zone difference' and had failed in his attempts to fall back asleep. 'That would've been ideal,' said Keegan, who spent the night awkwardly propped up on a single folded-over pillow and only partially covered by a thin decorative quilt. 'If I had slept another couple of hours, we all would have likely gotten up around the same time.' 'Now my only choice is to wait it out,' the 27-year-old Keegan added. 'Barbara and Dennis seem like morning people, so they should be up pretty soon. Plus, they've got two kids. Kids usually wake up pretty early, don't they?' In an effort to pass the time, Keegan announced plans to leaf through a coffee- table book of Native American masks, which he estimated would hold his interest for approximately 15 minutes. Keegan told reporters he is also considering watching television, but after examining the three remote controls within his reach, admitted he wasn't confident he could find the right combination of buttons to turn the TV on and then quickly mute the volume to avoid waking his hosts. In the meantime, however, Keegan will continue finding interesting patterns in the texture of the ceiling's stucco, listening to the ticking of a large wall clock, and trying to ignore his growing urge to urinate. 'It's not an emergency yet, so I'm just going to hold it for now,' Keegan said as he shifted on the couch, trying to find a position that would ease the discomfort in his pelvic region. 'The toilet's right next to the master bedroom, and I don't want the flush to wake anyone. If this were my apartment, I could just postpone flushing, but obviously I can't do that here.' 'What's taking them so long?' he added. 'They didn't even go to bed late last night.' Acknowledged that he was also very hungry, Kegan said he had aborted an earlier plan to visit the kitchen, since he wasn't familiar enough with the house to know which floorboards creaked. Moreover, Keegan reported, any attempt to prepare breakfast would be too risky. While he noticed the previous night that multiple varieties of cereal were available, including Froot Loops, an old childhood favorite, he determined that the clanking of a metal spoon could prove disastrous. 'Besides, it's Sunday,' Keegan said. 'They might have plans for a big family breakfast, and it might be even more involved than usual because there's a guest.' 'Wait, did you hear that?' he added, cocking an ear toward the ceiling. 'I think someone's awake . I could've sworn . No. No, that's just the heat coming on. Never mind.' After his second failed attempt to fall back asleep, Keegan said he had considered checking his e-mail on the laptop his cousin's husband had left in sleep mode on the kitchen table, but was ultimately afraid to do so without explicit permission. He also contemplated going outside for a walk, but concluded it would be weird if people got up and he wasn't there. 'Maybe they go to church,' said Keegan, scanning the room for any religious objects. 'That would mean they'd wake up reasonably early, and if the kids go to Sunday school, they'd have to get up even earlier. They didn't say anything about church, though.' Continued Keegan, 'I just hope someone gets up soon.' When reached for comment, Barbara and her husband were both wide awake, quietly reading in bed. 'The poor guy was really bushed last night,' she said. 'We're going to let Kevin sleep in a little longer.' 
3	Self Flying Drones Equipped With Tasers Coming Soon To A Police Department Near YouBy John Vibes Not only will the drones be equipped with tasers, but there is also talk of them being autonomous, meaning that an actual human wont necessarily be needed to fly the drone. One can certainly imagine high-risk scenarios such as terrorist barricades where such a capability could allow public safety officers to more rapidly incapacitate a threat and save many lives, a Taser representative said in a statement. The spokesperson said that the new project was inspired by the standoff in Dallas this year where police used a robot to kill a suspect who had shot at police. Drones equipped with stun guns arent actually an entirely new idea, in 2014 a software company called Chaotic Moon Studios unleashed an experimental taser drone at South by Southwest. However, the project was nothing more than a publicity stunt, as the creators at Chaotic Moon Studios were terrified by the potential of what they had made. Ironically enough, Taser spokesman Steve Tuttle criticized the project at the time, saying that he was stupefied that anyone would consider attaching a Taser to a drone. Now, just a few short years later, Tuttle is announcing that his company will actually be pioneering this technology. In the Journals report, Portland police departments Pete Simpson said that weaponized drones could be useful but admitted that it would be unpopular with the public. Getting the public to accept an unmanned vehicle thats got some sort of weapon on it might be a hurdle to overcome, he said. A spokesperson with the FAA said in a statement that they have no plans on preventing police departments from having weaponized drones. In fact, some states have already begun to pass legislation that would explicitly approve weaponized drones. In August 2015, North Dakota became the first state to pass legislation approving of such weapons, and now with large protests in the state surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline, it is entirely possible that they will be in use soon.

2	Michelle Obama In Hot Water After She Does THIS On Camera Michelle Obama has made a habit of criticizing Americans for their eating habits throughout her time in the White House. Its no secret that Americans are fed up. Recently, while speaking to the graduates of the Sante Fe Indian School in New Mexico, Michelle pushed back on anyone who opposes her healthy food plan. She reportedly told the students that some of the loudest voices in our national conversation say its okay to harm the planet and use land, air and water however we wish. Watch her speech below and tell us what you think. Are you ready for Michelle to be out of the spotlight once and for all? 
1	Following mounting allegations of child abuse against the six-time Pro Bowl running back, sources confirmed Wednesday that Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson has been officially deactivated by his family. In light of the current situation, we have decided that the best course of action is to have Adrian abstain from all family-related activities indefinitely, read a statement from the Peterson family, which went on to say that the 29-year-old could potentially be reinstated by his wife and two children if and when he is cleared of any criminal charges. The ban will entail that Adrian no longer take part in any family gatherings, as well as prohibits him from contact with close relatives during this time. While we sincerely hope that he can resolve his issues, we are also very confident that the Peterson family can function incredibly well in Adrians absence. At press time, sources close to the situation confirmed that fellow Vikings running back Matt Asiata would be assuming all of Petersons fatherly duties for the foreseeable future. 
1	Steelers officials confirmed Thursday that strong safety Troy Polamalu has been placed on injured reserve with a broken neck following an unfortunate incident in the team barn involving dim-witted quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Oh no, I done a bad, bad thing, said the hulking simpleton and two-time Pro Bowler, who reportedly furrowed his brow attempting to comprehend the situation as Polamalu remained face-down and motionless on the bed of straw. I just wanted to touch his soft, pretty hair, thats all. I didnt mean to hurt him none, honest. Aw, I gonna get hell now. At press time, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was reportedly speaking to Roethlisberger about the teams bright future while pointing a Luger pistol at back of the feebleminded quarterbacks head. 
3	Get Ready for the Orwellian Department of the Internetselfnews Post Despite all the evidence that the government has been doing anything but protecting liberty, these activists still have faith that the former cable lobbyist who heads the FCC is looking out for them instead of his industry. In fact, these righteous crusaders have successfully bullied everyone else into thinking the hands-off approach to the Internet is the crazy fringe even though thats what worked to build the Internet. Even the Electronic Frontier Foundation supports the governments plan to regulate the Internet. Soon Obama will tell us If you like your ISP, you can keep your ISP. But this time he wont be lying. Reality will be If you dont like your ISP, you must keep your ISP, and well force them to be better. Public utilities are really just monopolistic private cartels who enjoy special government protections. Also, making ISPs common carriers gives the government direct access to those data lines and the identity of every user. As soon as new cybersecurity legislation is passed to codify cyber spying and mass censorship into law, it will be too late for so-called Internet freedom activists to repent their trust in government. Trusting the FCC to regulate the Internet is like trusting the NSA to never spy on Americans. 
2	What Trey Gowdy Just Did Will Completely Change The Political Landscape Forever Congressman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina made a name for himself in the past few years for his tireless efforts to hold former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accountable for her many crimes. Now, it appears he isnt going to be giving up anytime soon. Gowdy ran for reelection in his district in Spartanburg this year, facing opposition from Democrat Chris Fedalei, who was rumored to be backed by Clinton. Fortunately, Gowdy ended up destroying Fedalei by a huge margin. I am grateful for the privilege of representing the people of Greenville and Spartanburg Counties again, Gowdy said of his victory. The Upstate of South Carolina has an unparalleled depth and breadth of assets making it an ideal place to live and work. I am incredibly fortunate to be able to represent this district in the House of Representatives. Gowdy then made an epic pledge to continue his efforts to ensure Clinton and her criminal friends see justice. The legislative branch needs to stand up for itself, he argued. It was supposed to be the most powerful of the three. Now, its the weakest. What do you think? Do you support Gowdy? 
2	University Of New Hampshire Moves To Ban The Word American For This UNTHINKABLE Reason According to a Bias-Free Language Guide at the University of New Hampshire, students should never use the word American. Why? Because the word is problematic. Thats right, UNH has grouped American with words like illegal alien, foreigners, mothering and fathering. According to the universitys website, the ban on these words is meant to invite inclusive excellence in [the] campus community. The guide also asks students to use Sam Gender Loving instead of homosexual. And theyre offering gender-neutral bathrooms to push back on ciscentrism. According to the guide, ciscentrism is a pervasive and institutionalized system that places transgender people in the other category and treats their needs and identities as less important than those of cisgender people. What do you think? Has this university gone ridiculously overboard? 
2	Something Chilling Caught In Hillarys Pantsuit Over the past few weeks, Hillary Clinton has been desperately fighting rumors that her health is failing. Some speculate that Clinton is suffering from a major disease, and is trying to hide her condition from the public. She swears up and down that these rumors are false, but a newly surfaced video tells a very different story. According to reports, photos and videos of Hillary appear to show something hidden under the leg of her pantsuit. Experts have come forward claiming that it looks like a catheter could be hidden under her clothes. Past photographs also show what appears to be a full catheter bag under her clothes. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Are you tired of Clinton hiding the truth from the American public? 
3	Mammograms Linked To An Epidemic of Misdiagnosed CancersSayer Ji, Contributor The most common scenario today following diagnosis of DCIS is for the oncologist to recommend lumpectomy, followed by radiation and hormone suppressive therapies such as Arimidex andTamoxifen. The problem here is that women are not being educated about the nature of DCIS or the concept of non-progressive breast cancers. There is still the black and white perception out there that you either have cancer, or do not have cancer. In a poll on DCIS awareness published in 2000, 94% of women studied doubted even the possibility of non-progressive breast cancers.2 In other words, these women had no understanding of the nature of DCIS. And why would they? Major authorities frame DCIS as pre-cancerous, implying its inevitable transformation into cancer. When the standard of care for DCIS is to suggest the same types of treatment used to treat invasive cancer, very few women are provided with the information needed to make an informed decision. Early detection through x-ray mammography has been the clarion call of Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns for a quarter of a century now. However, very little progress has been made in making the public aware about the crucial differences between non-malignant lesions/tumors and invasive or non-invasive cancers detected through this technology. When all forms of breast pathology are looked at in the aggregate, irrespective of their relative risk for harm, disease of the breast takes on the appearance of a monolithic entity that you either have, or dont have; they call it breast cancer. What women fail to understandbecause their physicians do not know better or have not taken care to explain to themis that they have a choice when diagnosed with DCIS. Rather than succumb to aggressive treatment with surgery, radiation and chemo-drugs, women can choose watchful waiting. Better yet, a radical lifestyle change can be focused on eliminating exposure to chemicals and radiation, as well as improved exercise and nutrition. This choice is not being made in most cases because the medical community is not informing their patients that there is such. Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS): Cancer or Benign Lesion? Between 30-50% of new breast cancer diagnoses obtained through x-ray mammography screenings are classified as Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS).3 DCIS refers to the abnormal growth of cells within the milk ducts of the breast forming a calcified lesion commonly between 1-1.5 cm in diameter, and is considered non-invasive or stage zero breast cancer, with some experts arguing for its complete re-classification as a non-cancerous condition. Because DCIS is almost invariably asymptomatic and has no palpable lesions, it would not be known as a clinically relevant entity were it not for the use of x-ray diagnostic technology. Indeed, it was not until the development and widespread application of mammography in the early 1980s as the central push behind National Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns that rates of DCIS diagnosis began to expand to their present day epidemic proportions.4,5 It is no wonder, therefore, that the United States, which has one of the highest x-ray mammography rates, also has the highest level of DCIS in the world. As of January 2005, an estimated one-half million U.S. women were living with a diagnosis of DCIS.6 Proponents of breast screenings claim they are saving lives through the early detection and treatment of DCIS, regarding it as a potentially life-threatening condition, indistinct from invasive cancers. They view DCIS a priori as pre-cancerous and argue that, because it could cause harm if left untreated it should be treated in the same aggressive manner as invasive cancer. The problem with this approach is that while the rate at which DCIS progresses to invasive cancer is still largely unknown, the weight of evidence indicates that it is significantly less than 50%perhaps as low as 2-4%. Indeed, the 10-year survival rates of patients with DCIS (96%-98%) post-treatment speaks volumes to the relatively benign nature of the condition.7,8 Another study found that at the 40-year follow-up period 40% of DCIS lesions still had no signs of invasiveness.9 Adding even more uncertainty, another study showed that coexisting DCIS independently predicts lower tumor aggressiveness in node-positive luminal breast cancer, indicating its possibly protective role. 10 A solid argument can be made that watchful waiting is the most appropriate response to the diagnosis of DCIS, and that in many cases DCIS would be better left over-diagnosed and under-treated. As one paper discusses: The central harm of screening is over-diagnosisthe detection of abnormalities that meet the pathologic definition of cancer but will never progress to cause symptoms. 11 A solid body of evidence has emerged suggesting that when DCIS is left undiagnosed and untreated rarely will it become malignant. DCIS was in fact poorly named from the outset, as it is does not behave like most carcinomas (cancers). Cancer, like the constellation named after it, derives from the Greek word for Crab, indicating the manner in which is expands outward in uncontrolled growth. In situ means exactly the opposite, in place. An unmoving cancer is therefore a contradiction in terms. These problems with classification have not gone unnoticed in the medical journals: Despite the presence of the word carcinoma, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the poster child for this problem (a senior pathologist involved in developing classification systems confided to one of us that he regretted the use of the term carcinoma in DCIS). No one believes that DCIS always progresses to invasive cancer, and no one believes it never does. Although no one is sure what the probability of progression is, studies of DCIS that were missed at biopsy (1,2) and the autopsy reservoir (3) suggest that the lifetime risk of progression must be considerably less than 50%. 12 The true irony here is that while participation in x-ray mammography is considered by the public a form of breast cancer prevention and watchful waiting, it has becomewhether by design or accidenta very effective way of manufacturing breast cancer diagnoses and justifying unnecessary treatment. This is not unlike what has been seen with prostate cancer screenings that track Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA); the aggressive treatment of lesions/tumors identified through PSA markers may actually increase patient mortality relative to doing nothing at all. Women diagnosed with DCIS are simply not given the option to decline treatment. The problem is illustrated below: Over-diagnosis is a huge problem, discussed in greater depth here: Over-diagnosis plays havoc with our understanding of cancer statistics. Because over-diagnosis effectively changes a healthy person into a diseased one, it causes overestimations of the sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of screening tests and the incidence of disease (13). As the MLP and a recent analysis of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)1 data illustrate (14), over-diagnosis also markedly increases the length of survival, regardless of whether screening or associated treatments are actually effective. However, over-diagnosis does not reduce disease-specific mortality because treating subjects with pseudo-disease does not help those who have real disease. Consequently, disease-specific mortality is the most valid end point for the evaluation of screening effectiveness.14 Ultimately DCIS over-diagnoses contribute to the appearance that conventional breast cancer screenings and treatments are more successful and less harmful than they actually are, while at the same time making the industry far more profitable than otherwise would be the case. 2 US womens attitudes to false positive mammography results and detection of ductal carcinoma in situ: cross sectional survey.

1	Lacking any other reason to continue drawing breath, retiree Raymond Pfaff, 91, clings to life so that he may collect all 50 of the U.S. state quarters, sources reported Tuesday. The collector's board that keeps Raymond Pfaff (inset) alive. The quarters, each bearing an iconic image representing its respective state, were first put into circulation in 1999, when Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, and Connecticut were released. Five new quarters are slated for release every year until 2008. 'I've got all 13 so far, even the Rhode Island one that just came out,' said Pfaff from his bed at St. Andrew's Convalescent Home in Lake Havasu City. 'It has a sailboat on it because Rhode Island is the Ocean State.' Added Pfaff: 'Vermont's next.' Pfaff, a former vacuum-cleaner salesman suffering from chronic emphysema and diabetes, has not let his deteriorating health keep him from his numismatic pursuit. Due to complications from diabetes, Pfaff had his left leg amputated in January, an event that coincided with the release of the New York quarter. 'Right after the operation, Dr. [William] Homsey handed me a newly minted two-bits with the Statue Of Liberty on it,' Pfaff said. 'I can't see too good anymore, but I could feel with my thumb the outline of the Empire State with proud Lady Liberty holding up her torch. As soon as they took me out of intensive care, I went straight to the official U.S. Mint state-quarter collector's board on my nightstand and stuck the coin right in the New York slot. That was the best I'd felt in a while.' According to St. Andrew's staffers, collecting the quarters has been more than a hobby for Pfaff, providing unintended 'medicinal' effects. 'When Miriam, Ray's wife of 63 years, passed on in 1997, Ray fell into a pretty bad funk,' day nurse Colleen Bresler said. 'And it didn't help that his son and two daughters live so far away, they can only visit every other Christmas. But ever since these quarters arrived, Ray hasn't seemed quite so despondentthe suicide talk has almost completely stopped. They've really been a godsend for him, like a metallic version of Prozac.' Other residents of St. Andrew's say Pfaff's enthusiasm for the quarters is contagious. 'Ray and I are best friends,' fellow resident Lyle Potterman said. 'Some nights, we'll stay up way past 8 talking about what we think will be on upcoming states' coins. Like, for South Dakota, Ray thinks it will be Mount Rushmore, but I think it'll be the Corn Palace. I guess we'll see who's right in 2006.' The day after he was interviewed, Potterman died of an aneurysm. He was 89. Pfaff celebrated his 91st birthday on July 13, but the date he seems most excited for is August 2007, when the quarter for his home state of Wyoming will be released. 'I wrote a letter to the Treasury, trying to make sure they don't just put a picture of Old Faithful on the back,' Pfaff said. 'Wyoming is the Cowboy State and, by God, it should have a cowboy on it. I used to love horseback-riding. It's been so long.' In response to Pfaff's plea, the U.S. Treasury sent a form letter thanking the nonagenarian for his continued interest in American currency. Regardless of what the image on the Wyoming quarter turns out to be, Pfaff is determined to stay alive until the Hawaii coin is released at the end of 2008. Others, however, are not so optimistic. 'I give him two more years, tops,' staff physician Dr. David Reames said. 'To be honest, with the condition he's in, I'd be amazed if he even made it to Mississippi.' Ronald W. Pindel, executive director of St. Andrew's, also has his doubts. 'What Mr. Pfaff doesn't seem to realize is that assisted living costs money, and he is quickly running out of it,' Pindel said. 'If he wants to live another seven weeks, much less seven more years, he's going to have to use those state quarters to pay for his rent and medication.' But Pfaff refuses to listen to naysayers. 'The Lord will have to wait until my work here is done,' he said. 'When I die, I know what I want them to put on my tombstone: 'He Got All 50.''

1	Exhausted from months of trying, to little avail, to hit the ball, the last-place Minnesota Twins gathered around manager Ron Gardenhire in the clubhouse Friday afternoon to ask if they could be allowed to stop swinging their bats all the way around. 'We can just do the one where you hold your bat out there halfway with both hands and see if the ball hits it,' suggested second baseman Alexi Casilla, who lately has been swinging all the way through a full 360 degrees but has yet to hit a home run this season. 'Or we can just go up there and do nothing. Sometimes they let you go to first base if you just stand there for a while as the balls go by. That sounds like a good strategy to me.' The Twins also asked if they could discontinue running toward batted balls to field them, saying that if everyone just waits around long enough with their gloves out, eventually the ball is bound to fall into one of them. 
3	Occupy Wall Street Takes to Agorism and Starts a Peoples BailoutJ.G. Vibes Members of Occupy Wall Street have recently started an effort called Rolling Jubilee and the stated mission on their website is to: buy debt for pennies on the dollar, but instead of collecting it, we abolish it. We cannot buy specific individuals debt instead, we help liberate debtors at random through a campaign of mutual support, good will, and collective refusal. According to an article in the UK Telegraph: The Rolling Jubilee project is seeking donations to help it buy-up distressed debts, including student loans and outstanding medical bills, and then wipe the slate clean by writing them off. Individuals or companies can buy distressed debt from lenders at knock-down prices if it the borrower is in default or behind with payments and are then free to do with it as they see fit, including cancelling it free of charge. As a test run the group spent $500 on distressed debt, buying $14,000 worth of outstanding loans and pardoning the debtors. They are now looking to expand their experiment nationwide and are asking people to donate money to the cause. As a friend, supporter and also a critic of the occupy wall street movement over the past year and a half, it has been exciting and interesting to see the loose knit, decentralized movement transform and grow into many different branches that are taking a more local and decentralized approach than we saw from the protests last year. Recently, I have been noticing that various pockets of occupy wall street are beginning to practice agorism, and starting initiatives and projects to replace inefficient state programs with their own voluntary mutual aid approaches. This Rolling Jubilee project is one example, and the recent efforts to go where FEMA wouldnt after Hurricane Sandy is another example. Growing food, starting mutual aid or charity groups, using bitcoin, homeschooling, running a small business without licenses, bartering and starting community currencies are all examples of agorist activities. Some agorists are even so bold as to create businesses that will challenge existing state monopolies, like we saw earlier this year when Detroit residents created their own community protection agencies because the police were no longer responding to 911 calls. It is as simple as finding a need in your community for a particular good or service, and attempting to provide that value without any sort of interaction with the government or any other unchosen 3rd parties. In other words, the basic idea is to try solving the problem yourself, with your community instead of waiting around for a politician to make the problem worse. Occupy Wall Street outshining FEMA in the wake of a natural disaster is reminiscent of actions taken by an agorist in early American history, Lysander Spooner. Lysander Spooner was an outspoken philosopher, abolitionist, and anarchist during the 19th century who was not only a brilliant author and speaker, but he also started a letter delivering service to compete with the government post office.

3	5 Ways Incontrovertible Evidence on Syria is ControvertibleBrandon Turbeville Such a comparison between the Iraq invasion and the current push to attack Syria is not without warrant. In fact, the parallels between the events leading up to the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq and the planned repeat against Syria not only exist but are strikingly similar. Thankfully, however, the thirst for war which was so present in the minds of the American public in 2003 seems to have waned slightly due to a culmination of apathy and disastrous results of foreign military adventures in recent years. Nevertheless, the propaganda push to gain control over the hearts and minds of the American people continues in full force, with Skull and Bones John Kerry repeating the same tired claims of convincing evidence and incontrovertible proof of Assads use of chemical weapons while, at the same time, refusing to show such proof to Congress or the American people. Of course, whatever proof that has been shown has done nothing to bolster the Administrations claims. In fact, the documents presented to lawmakers have actually raised more questions than they have answered. Thus, with the ability of a sustained propaganda assault on an entertainment-obsessed population to become more and more successful as time moves on, it is important to understand just what evidence is being cleverly presented to us as justification for war. Below are just a few reasons to question the evidence and proof presented by the Administration regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria by the Assad government. Much of the information presented to the American people, where it is enumerated at all, revolves around shadowy intelligence in the same way as the Iraqi WMD claims were presented to the public during 2003. That is to say that there is only the statement of the possession of intelligence but never a presentation of the actual intelligence itself. The bulk of the so-called concrete evidence that has been produced, however, is an alleged intercepted phone conversation between a Syrian Ministry of Defense official and a member of a Syrian chemical weapons unit that was obtained by none other than the Israeli Defense Force intelligence unit which goes by the number 8200, the largest unit in the IDF. The mainstream Western media , of course, has attempted to portray these calls (if they are even authentic) as proof that Assad and Syrian government forces were the responsible party for the chemical attacks in Ghouta. However, a close look at the calls and the content therein reveals several conflicting aspects of the narrative being pushed by Western governments and media outlets. For instance, the calls are supposed to reveal that these Syrian officials, exchanged panicked phone calls with a leader of a chemical weapons unit, demanding answers for a nerve agent strike that killed more than 1,000 people, in Ghouta. Without disputing the claim of 1,000 dead, a figureprovided by the death squads and Saudi media outlet Al-Arabiya, one should certainly wonder how a government which launches a chemical weapons attack would then be surprised and demand answers regarding the chemical weapons attack it had launched. Why would the official be demanding answers for a chemical attack if the government was responsible for it? Of course, media outlets such as Foreign Policy, the official new agency of the Council on Foreign Relations attempted to spin the obvious contradiction as the result of a Syrian military officer going rogue and overstepping his bounds. Still, if this was the case (and it should be stressed that there is no evidence that it is), it would only go to show that the Syrian government did not order such an attack and that, in order to do so, this rogue officer would have had to violate his chain of command and Syrian military procedure. Thus, the intercepted calls do nothing to build the case for the guilt of the Syrian government, much less a case for war. It is also important to point out that Israels IDF and Mossad are no mere innocent and impartial bystanders to the Syrian crisis. Indeed, Israel has, on at least three occasions, attacked Syria by air and is known to have Mossad and special forces agents working on the ground inside the country. Indeed, as IPS wrote, even U.S. intelligence officials have long been doubtful about intelligence from Israeli sources that is clearly in line with Israeli interests. The only other form of proof provided by the Anglo-Americans revolves around highly dubious if not outright faked or non-existent samplesallegedly taken from Ghouta by first responders in East Damascus. Secretary of State John Kerry stated, that those samples of hair and blood have been tested, and they have reported positive for signatures of sarin. Unfortunately for Kerry, he and the rest of his warmongering ilk have been entirely unable to present any real evidence to back up these claims. Of course, because the UN investigation has been hampered by both the death squads and the United States, the White House claims that only the mysterious samples taken by shadowy first responders which were then tested and analyzed by secret agents of the very government which has been relentless in its push for war against Syria is admissible as justification for military action. As Zeina Karam and Kimberly Dozier wrote for AP, The U.S. government insists it has the intelligence to prove it, but the public has yet to see a single piece of concrete evidence produced by U.S. intelligence no satellite imagery, no transcripts of Syrian military communications connecting the government of President Bashar Assad to the alleged chemical weapons attack last month that killed hundreds of people. In its absence, Damascus and its ally Russia have aggressively pushed another scenario: that rebels carried out the Aug. 21 chemical attack. Neither has produced evidence for that case, either. Thats left more questions than answers as the U.S. threatens a possible military strike. [. . .] Yet one week after Secretary of State John Kerry outlined the case against Assad, Americans at least those without access to classified reports havent seen a shred of his proof. [. . .] Whats missing from the public record is direct proof, rather than circumstantial evidence, tying this to the regime. The Obama administration, searching for support from a divided Congress and skeptical world leaders, says its own assessment is based mainly on satellite and signals intelligence, including intercepted communications and satellite images indicating that in the three days prior to the attack that the regime was preparing to use poisonous gas. But multiple requests to view that satellite imagery have been denied, though the administration produced copious amounts of satellite imagery earlier in the war to show the results of the Syrian regimes military onslaught. When asked Friday whether such imagery would be made available showing the Aug. 21 incident, a spokesman referred The Associated Press to a map produced by the White House last week that shows what officials say are the unconfirmed areas that were attacked. The Obama administration maintains it intercepted communications from a senior Syrian official on the use of chemical weapons, but requests to see that transcript have been denied. So has a request by the AP to see a transcript of communications allegedly ordering Syrian military personnel to prepare for a chemical weapons attack by readying gas masks. The U.S. administration says its evidence is classified and is only sharing details in closed-door briefings with members of Congress and key allies. Yet the assessment, also based on accounts by Syrian activists and hundreds of YouTube videos of the attacks aftermath, has confounded many experts who cannot fathom what might have motivated Assad to unleash weapons of mass destruction on his own people especially while U.N. experts were nearby and at a time when his troops had the upper hand on the ground. In short, John Kerrys strong case against Assad is no case at all. 2.) The White House Admits It Has No Concrete Evidence On September 8, White House Chief of Staff Dennis McDonough went on a number of Sunday talk shows to press the case for war in a coordinated propaganda campaign designed to lead up to the Presidents speech on Tuesday. Yet, during his appearance on CNN, McDonough admitted that the alleged proof being sold to the American people was based more on what he termed a common sense test not irrefutable, beyond-a-reasonable-doubt evidence. McDonough stated Weve seen the video proof of the outcome of those attacks. All of that leads to a quite strong common-sense test irrespective of the intelligence that suggests that the regime carried this out. Now do we have a picture or do we have irrefutable beyond-a-reasonable-doubt evidence? This is not a court of law and intelligence does not work that way. He went on to absurdly claim that nobody is rebutting the intelligence; nobody doubts the intelligence. In addition, McDonough stated that, by attacking Syria, the United States would be sending a message to Iran to cease their alleged attempts at developing a nuclear weapon and saying that this military strike would be a chance to be bold with Iran. This, of course, is in direct contradiction to the propaganda being fed to the American people who have heretofore been told that the reason for the assault is due to a humanitarian tragedy, not merely for political intimidation. Regardless, as Slate wrote when reporting the McDonough statement, The answer highlights how the White House still has not shown the public a concrete piece of intelligence that directly connect Assads regime to the alleged chemical weapons attack, as the Associated Press points out in a detailed story. Meanwhile, Syria and Russia insist it was the rebels who used chemical weapons, a charge they have also failed to prove with any actual evidence. The Daily Caller went even further by writing, The Obama administration has selectively used intelligence to justify military strikes on Syria, former military officers with access to the original intelligence reports say, in a manner that goes far beyond what critics charged the Bush administration of doing in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq war. According to these officers, who served in top positions in the United States, Britain, France, Israel, and Jordan, a Syrian military communication intercepted by Israels famed Unit 8200 electronic intelligence outfit has been doctored so that it leads a reader to just the opposite conclusion reached by the original report. 3.) The Evidence being presented represents the rush to war, not an actual intelligence assessment. Clearly, as any observer should understand, the rush to war and the propaganda push toward a stampede in that direction has rendered any reports of intelligence by the United States government and the rest of the Anglo-American world and/or Israel highly questionable at best. Recent memories of concrete intelligence allegedly proving the presence of WMDs in Iraq should serve as a prompt for the requirement of incontrovertible proof by the American people whenever the discussion of military action enter into the equation. Yet the intelligence being presented to the American people is not only based entirely upon a political motivation, the reality is that the report does not actually represent the true intelligence picture of the very intelligence agencies who are tasked with analyzing the facts on the ground. Rather, the report is nothing but the conglomeration of cherry-picked intelligence which has been arranged to produce a picture that bolsters the position of the warmongers in the Anglo-American pyramid governing structure. Even some former intelligence officials have stated this much in an interview with IPS news, claiming that the chemical warfare intelligence summary is not the presentation of intelligence agencies complete with their unbiased professional analysis (assuming that this would even be possible in the first place), but an entirely political document consisting of lies and opinions coming from the White House. As IPS reports, Contrary to the general impression in Congress and the news media, the Syria chemical warfare intelligence summary released by the Barack Obama administration Aug. 30 did not represent an intelligence community assessment, an IPS analysis and interviews with former intelligence officials reveals. The evidence indicates that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper culled intelligence analyses from various agencies and by the White House itself, but that the White House itself had the final say in the contents of the document. Leading members of Congress to believe that the document was an intelligence community assessment and thus represents a credible picture of the intelligence on the alleged chemical attack of Aug. 21 has been a central element in the Obama administrations case for war in Syria. That part of the strategy, at least, has been successful. Despite strong opposition in Congress to the proposed military strike in Syria, no one in either chamber has yet challenged the administrations characterisation of the intelligence. But the administration is vulnerable to the charge that it has put out an intelligence document that does not fully and accurately reflect the views of intelligence analysts. Former intelligence officials told IPS that that the paper does not represent a genuine intelligence community assessment but rather one reflecting a predominantly Obama administration influence. In essence, the White House selected those elements of the intelligence community assessments that supported the administrations policy of planning a strike against the Syrian government force and omitted those that didnt. Backing up its claims in this regard, IPS also points out numerous subtle giveaways that what Congress is actually viewing is not an intelligence picture but a propaganda piece. IPS writes, In a radical departure from normal practice involving summaries or excerpts of intelligence documents that are made public, the Syria chemical weapons intelligence summary document was not released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence but by the White House Office of the Press Secretary. It was titled Government Assessment of the Syrian Governments Use of Chemical Weapons on August 21, 2013. The first sentence begins, The United States government assesses, and the second sentence begins, We assess. The introductory paragraph refers to the main body of the text as a summary of the intelligence communitys analysis of the issue, rather than as an intelligence community assessment, which would have been used had the entire intelligence community endorsed the document. A former senior intelligence official who asked not to be identified told IPS in an e-mail Friday that the language used by the White House means that this is not an intelligence community document. The former senior official, who held dozens of security classifications over a decades-long intelligence career, said he had never seen a document about an international crisis at any classification described/slugged as a U.S. government assessment. The document further indicates that the administration decided on a position and cherry-picked the intelligence to fit it, he said. The result is not a balanced assessment of the intelligence. Greg Thielmann, whose last position before retiring from the State Department was director of the Strategic, Proliferation and Military Affairs Office in the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, told IPS he has never seen a government document labeled Government Assessment either. If its an intelligence assessment, Thielmann said, why didnt they label it as such? Former National Intelligence Officer Paul Pillar, who has participated in drafting national intelligence estimates, said the intelligence assessment summary released by the White House is evidently an administration document, and the working master copy may have been in someones computer at the White House or National Security Council. Pillar suggested that senior intelligence officials might have signed off on the administration paper, but that the White House may have drafted its own paper to avoid attention to analytic differences within the intelligence community. Comparable intelligence community assessments in the past, he observed including the 2002 Iraq WMD estimate include indications of differences in assessment among elements of the community. IPS also raises the question of whether or not Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, while involved in the compilation of the document, refused to attach his name to it due to lack of confidence in the report after it was revised and doctored by the White House. Clappers name is nowhere to be found on the document. 4.) Even members of Congress have serious doubts about the evidence. While the U.S. Congress has never been particularly known for its ability to examine evidence and make an informed decision on it (absent a powerful financial lobbying campaign), some members, after having viewed the intelligence document, have openly stated that they question the veracity of the claims therein and are not convinced by what they have seen. For instance, Washingtons Blog recently compiled a short list of some of the remarks being made by several U.S. Congressional Representatives which presented statements such as the following: Congressman Justin Amash said last week: What I heard in Obama admn briefing actually makes me more skeptical of certain significant aspects of Press case for attacking. He noted yesterday, after attending another classified briefing and reviewing more classified materials: Attended another classified briefing on #Syria reviewed addl materials. Now more skeptical than ever. Cant believe Pres is pushing war. And today, Amash wrote: If Americans could read classified docs, theyd be even more against #Syria action. Obama admns public statements aremisleading at best. Congressman Tom Harkin said: I have just attended a classified Congressional briefing on Syria that quite frankly raised more questions than it answered. I found the evidence presented by Administration officials to be circumstantial. Congressman Michael Burgess said: Yes, I saw the classified documents. They were pretty thin. Yahoo News reports: New Hampshire Democratic Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, for instance, left Thursdays classified hearing and said she was opposed to the effort now so more than ever. I think theres a long way to go for the president to make the case, she said after the briefing. It does seem there is a high degree of concern and leaning no. Senator Joe Manchin announced he was voting no for a Syria strike right after hearing a classified intelligence brieifng. One of the most vocal Representatives, however, was Alan Grayson who wrote a scathing criticism of the report presented to Congress which was printed in the New York Times. He wrote, The documentary record regarding an attack on Syria consists of just two papers: a four-page unclassified summary and a 12-page classified summary. The first enumerates only the evidence in favor of an attack. Im not allowed to tell you whats in the classified summary, but you can draw your own conclusion. On Thursday I asked the House Intelligence Committee staff whether there was any other documentation available, classified or unclassified. Their answer was no. The Syria chemical weapons summaries are based on several hundred underlying elements of intelligence information. The unclassified summary cites intercepted telephone calls, social media postings and the like, but not one of these is actually quoted or attached not even clips from YouTube. (As to whether the classified summary is the same, I couldnt possibly comment, but again, draw your own conclusion.) *** And yet we members are supposed to accept, without question, that the proponents of a strike on Syria have accurately depicted the underlying evidence, even though the proponents refuse to show any of it to us or to the American public. In fact, even gaining access to just the classified summary involves a series of unreasonably high hurdles. We have to descend into the bowels of the Capitol Visitors Center, to a room four levels underground. Per the instructions of the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, note-taking is not allowed. Once we leave, we are not permitted to discuss the classified summary with the public, the media, our constituents or even other members. Nor are we allowed to do anything to verify the validity of the information that has been provided. And this is just the classified summary. It is my understanding that the House Intelligence Committee made a formal request for the underlying intelligence reports several days ago. I havent heard an answer yet. And frankly, I dont expect one. *** By refusing to disclose the underlying data even to members of Congress, the administration is making it impossible for anyone to judge, independently, whether that statement is correct. 5.) The US intelligence document clashes with all of the other evidence. As I wrote in my article, New Chemical Weapons Attack In Syria Another False Flag? it has been the case with every other propaganda push against Assad regarding chemical weapons, that there is absolutely no evidence to implicate the Syrian government in the launching and use of chemical agents against the Syrian people or even the death squads. In fact, the accounts being published throughout the mainstream media are very suspect in their own right. Although there is some video evidence of chemical weapons usage, the estimates of the extent of the atrocity, as well as the blame for the attacks, are coming entirely from the death squads themselves. It is thus important to point out that statistics and information is prefaced by the phrase activists say. selfnewss say, of course, can be translated merely to mean death squads say, as the activists being referred to are indeed nothing more than terrorist killers politically, ideologically, and physically invested in the outcome and presentation of the Syrian crisis. In short, these individuals have a vested interest in the blame for these attacks being placed on Assad, popular opinion being turned against the Syrian government, and some type of condemnation or military action being taken against the Syrian army. Even more interesting, is the fact that the chemical weapons attacks come just days after a team of U.N. chemical experts entered Damascus and checked into a hotel a few miles from the targeted area. With this in mind, one must ask why would Assad order the use of chemical weapons in this area at such an inopportune time? Given the track record of Assads cleverness, this seems to be an incredibly foolish move, even as the Syrian army has gained the clear upper hand against the death squads. Why detonate chemical weapons in front of UN chemical experts? Why wait until after they arrive to do so? Why detonate chemical weapons so close to them? These questionable details have caused even mainstream experts to hesitate when commenting on the nature of the alleged chemical attacks. For instance, Charles Lister, an analyst at IHS Janes Terrorism and Insurgency Center, stated, Logically, it would make little sense for the Syrian government to employ chemical agents at such a time, particularly given the relatively close proximity of the targeted towns (to the U.N. team). Nonetheless, the Ghouta region (where the attacks were reported) is well known for its opposition leanings. Jabhat al-Nusra has had a long-time presence there and the region has borne the brunt of sustained military pressure for months now. BBC security correspondent Frank Garnder also stated something similar, when he said, Firstly, the timing is odd, bordering on suspicious. Why would the Assad government, which has recently been retaking ground from the rebels, carry out a chemical attack while UN weapons inspectors are in the country? Likewise, Swedish diplomat and former UN weapons inspector Rolf Ekeus stated to Reuters that, It would be very peculiar if it was the government to do this at the exact moment the international inspectors come into the country.at the least, it wouldnt be very clever. Another Swede, chemical weapons expert Ake Sellstrom, who is currently leading the UN inspection team in Syria told SVT that the large number of victims being reported sounded suspicious. In addition, soon after the attacks, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Alexansdr Lukashevich stated that the attacks may have been a provocation planned in advance promoted for political purposes by biased regional media. Lukashevich also said, It draws attention to the fact that biased regional media have immediately, as if on command, begun an aggressive information attack, laying all the responsibility on the government. When Lukashevich refers to biased regional media he most likely means news agencies such as Al-Arabiya who, according to William Engdahl, was the agency who broke the initial story regarding claims of 500 deaths from chemical attacks, reports which were taken almost entirely from activists aka death squads. After the initial reports were made by Al-Arabiya the massive wave of Western media picked up the story and ran with it, inflating the numbers of victims almost every hour, finally reaching claims of 1,300 deaths. As Engdahl writes, Al Arabiya, the origin of the story, is not a neutral in the Syrian conflict. It was set up in 2002 by the Saudi Royal Family in Dubai. It is majority-owned by the Saudi broadcaster, Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC). Saudi Arabia is a major financial backer of the attempt to topple Syrias government. That is a matter of record. So on first glance Saudi-owned media reporting such an inflammatory anti-Assad allegation might be taken with a dose of salt. In addition, the Russian spokesman also added that A homemade rocket with a poisonous substance that has not been identified yet one similar to the rocket used by terrorists on March 19 in Khan al-Assal was fired early on August 21 [at Damascus suburbs] from a position occupied by the insurgents. As RT reported in their article Russia suggests Syria chemical attack was planned provocation by rebels, Lukashevich pointed out that similar reports about Syrian authorities allegedly using chemical weapons have popped up before. However, the information has never been confirmed. In Moscows view, the latest possible provocation might be the oppositions attempt to get support from the UN Security Council and undermine the Geneva peace talks on Syria. Russia believes the incident should be thoroughly investigated by professionals. It urged everyone who has influence on armed extremists to do everything possible to finally put an end to such provocations involving chemical poisonous substances. Lukashevich and the Russian government have ample reason to suspect that the recent chemical weapons attack in Syria was the handiwork of the death squads instead of the Syrian government. Since the ridiculous red line talk has been repeated in government halls and press conferences since late 2012 by both President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as French President Francois Hollande, the idea that the Syrian government would be the party to actually use chemical weapons was patently absurd from the beginning. As far back as June 2012, the pieces were clearly seen being moved into place in order to create the environment and subsequent chain of events for a successful false flag attack used to justify an invasion of or, at the very least, some limited military action against Syria. However, the more hidden aspects being used to create infrastructure for such an event could be seen going back even further. I would encourage the readers to access my article Propaganda Overdrive Suggests Syria War Coming Soon, in order to get a glimpse into the false narrative supplied by the Western media regarding a series of propagandized chemical weapons attacks inside Syria as a justification for military action. Add this to the recent report provided by Dale Gavlak of Mint Press which revealed admission by Syrian death squads that they themselves were responsible for the chemical weapons attack in Ghouta and one can clearly see that the evidence being presented by the United States regarding these attacks is hanging by a thread with much of what is being promoted as fact not existing at all. It is also important to note that the death squads claimed they were given both the chemical weapons and their salaries by Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, also known as Bandar Bush due to his close ties with the Bush family. The weapons were apparently supposed to have gone directly to al-Qaeda fighters such as Jabhat al-Nusra. In the end, the recent intelligence documents and alleged proof provided by the Obama administration is nothing more than Iraq 2.0 a determination to go to war with a Middle Eastern nation which has done absolutely nothing to harm the United States on the basis of fabricated intelligence and propagandized proof surrounding lies of crimes against humanity, and WMDs. If anyone has the feeling that somehow we have been here before it is because we have. We cannot afford another foreign military adventure where untold numbers of innocent people will be slaughtered for the good of geopolitical concerns, the military-industrial complex, corporations, Wall Street, or esoteric agendas. We cannot afford such a war either financially, physically, or spiritually. It is time to get off the Path to Persia while we still have the ability to do so.

2	Watch What Happened Immediately After Trump Stepped Off His Private Jet Donald Trump hasnt even made it into the White House yet, but he is already showing the upstanding president he will be for our country. On Wednesday, details of what he has planned for his inauguration were finally released. Everyone was quick to take notice that his inauguration will be far different from the one Obama threw for himself eight years ago. Only two balls are planned for Trumps inauguration, though there will be a third ball for military members and first responders. In 2009, Obama attended 120 inaugural balls for himself the night he was sworn in. The 2017 inaugural celebrations will reflect President-elect Trumps eagerness to get to work in order to make our country safer and stronger, Presidential Inaugural Committee Chairman Tom Barrack said in a statement. This statement makes it clear that Trump and his team are specifically trying to show that he is planning to be a much different president than Obama. The official inaugural program starts on the morning of January 19, when Trump and Mike Pence will attend a wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. That night, there will be a concert that is being called the Make America Great Again Welcome Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. On January 20, Trump will attend a private family church service before getting sworn in. He will then participate in the traditional inauguration parade followed by just two inaugural balls and a ball saluting our armed forces and first responders. What do you think? Does Trump continue to prove that he is a true leader for this country? 
2	Liberals Brutally Attack Fox News Host During White House Correspondents Dinner Party Every year, the press and major political parties gather together for the White House Correspondents Dinner Party. The event is typically yawn-worthy for the American public. That changed this year, when a fight broke out between a Huffington Post employee and Foxs Jesse Watters at an after party. According to several witnesses, Grim and Watters were among a group located in a heated tent just outside of the main party area. The two do not have a personal relationship, but Grim recognized Watters and beef he had with him dating back to 2009. Grims co-worker, Amanda Terkel, wrote a piece describing the incident called: I Was Followed, Harassed, And Ambushed By Bill OReillys Producer. In an attempt to give Watters a taste of his own medicine, Grim whipped out his camera phone and started filming him. Watters snatched the phone and put it in his pocket, when Grim reached out to retrieve it, the two got into a physical altercation. Were sure this is the first time that something interesting has happened at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Jesse is set to address the situation tonight on The OReilly Factor. 
1	Troy Aikman, the blond, blue-sensored humanoid robot who led the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowls in his 12-year period of servitude with the team, became the first artificial construct to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame Sunday. 'No one who saw Dallas' Throwing/Running Offensive Yardage generator, or T.R.O.Y. as we called him around the shop, will forget his perfect mechanics or the cold, unemotional style he brought to the position of quarterbot,' said former Cowboys offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who was responsible for writing Aikman's programs and who introduced Aikman during the induction ceremony. 'If it were possible to feel love for a mere machine, I think everyone here would agree that we all might just love Troy Aikman.' Aikman himself delivered a brief pre-recorded speech thanking all the technicians who made him possible before removing his head and upper torso, which will be displayed in the Hall of Fame alongside the busts of human players. 
3	12 Signs That Spain Is Shifting Gears From Recession To DepressionMichael Snyder, Contributor All of this happened in Greece, it is happening right now in Spain, and mark my words it will eventually happen in the United States. Every debt bubble eventually bursts, and right now Spain is experiencing a level of economic pain that very, very few people saw coming. The recession in Spain is rapidly becoming a full-blown economic depression, and at this point there is no hope and no light at the end of the tunnel. The bad news for the global economy is that Spain is much larger than Greece. According to the United Nations, the Greek economy is the 32nd largest economy in the world. The Spanish economy, on the other hand, is the 4th largest economy in the eurozone and the 12th largest economy on the entire planet. It is nearly five times the size of the Greek economy. Financial markets all over the globe are very nervous right now because if the Spanish government ends up asking for a full-blown bailout it could spell the end for the eurozone. There simply is not enough money to do the same kind of thing for Spain that is being done for Greece. As I have written about previously, Greece has already been in an economic depression for some time. I warned that Spain, Italy, Portugal and a bunch of other European nations were going down the exact same path. Now we are watching a virtual replay of what happened in Greece take place in Spain. Unfortunately, the global financial system may not be able to handle a complete implosion of the Spanish economy. The following are 12 signs that Spain is shifting gears from recession to depression. #1 At one point on Monday, the IBEX stock market index fell to 5,905, which was the lowest level in nearly ten years. When it hit 5,905 that represented a drop of about 12 percent over just two trading days. If that happened in the United States, it would be the equivalent of the Dow falling by about 1500 points in 48 hours. #2 So far this year, the Spanish stock market is down more than 25 percent. Back in 2008, the IBEX 35 was well over 15,000. Today it is sitting just above 6,000. #3 Spain has banned many forms of short selling for 3 months. #4 The yield on 10 year Spanish bonds is now well above the 7 percent danger level. #5 Thanks to the problems in Spain, the euro continues to fall like a rock. On Monday it hit a new two year low against the U.S. dollar, and it is near a twelve year low against the Japanese yen. #6 During the first quarter of 2012, the Spanish economy contracted by 0.3 percent. During the second quarter of 2012, the Spanish economy contracted by 0.4 percent. #7 Local governments all over Spain are flat broke and need to be bailed out by the broke national government. The following is from a recent CNBC article. Adding to Madrids woes, media reports suggested another half a dozen of Spains 17 regional authorities, facing an undeclared funding crisis, were ready to follow Valencia in seeking aid from the central government. #8 The percentage of bad loans on the books of Spanish banks has reached an 18 year high. European officials have already promised a 100 billion euro bailout for Spains troubled banking system, but most analysts agree that 100 billion euros will not be nearly enough. #9 Spanish industrial output declined for the ninth month in a row in May. #10 The unemployment rate in Spain is up to an astounding 24.6 percent. The unemployment rate in Spain is already higher than it was in the United States at the peak of the Great Depression of the 1930s. #11 The youth unemployment rate in Spain is now over 52 percent. #12 The Spanish government has just announced a whole bunch of new tax increases and spending cuts which will cause the Spanish economy to slow down even more. In response to these austerity measures, people are taking to the streets all over Spain. Last week, 100,000 demonstrators poured into the streets to protest in Madrid alone. Sadly, the nightmare in Spain is just beginning. If the yield on 10 year Spanish bonds stays above 7 percent, that is going to be a really bad sign. According to the Wall Street Journal, the 7 percent level is key as far as investor confidence is concerned. Mondays dramatic market moves suggest Spain may be stuck in a spiral that culminates in a bailout from other euro-zone countries. The rise in the 10-year yield well beyond 7% carries a very distinct reminder of events in Greece in April 2010, Ireland in October 2010 and Portugal in February 2011, said analysts at Bank of New York Mellon. In each case, a decisive move beyond 7% signaled the start of a collapse in investor confidence that, in each case, led to a bailout within weeks, they added. So keep an eye on that number in the weeks ahead. Meanwhile, the Spanish economy continues to get worse with each passing month. So just how bad are things in Spain right now? Just check out this excerpt from a recent article by Mark Grant. Recently two noted Spanish economists were interviewed. One was always an optimist and one was always a pessimist. The optimist droned on and on about how bad things were in Spain, the dire situation with the regional debt, the huge problems overtaking the Spanish banks and the imminent collapse of the Spanish economy. In the end he said that the situation was so bad that the Spanish people were going to have to eat manure. The pessimist was shocked by the comments of his colleague who had never heard him speak in such a manner. When it was the pessimists turn to speak he said that he agreed with the optimist with one exception; the manure would soon run out. That may make you laugh, but for those in Europe going through these horrific economic conditions it is no laughing matter. On Sunday, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras actually told former U.S. president Bill Clinton that Greece is already in a Great Depression. Like Spain, the unemployment rate in Greece is well above 20 percent and the youth unemployment rate is above 50 percent. The only reason the Greek financial system has not totally collapsed is because of outside assistance, but now there are indications that the assistance may soon be cut off. At this point there are persistent rumors that the IMF does not plan to give any more aid money to Greece unless Greece shapes up. Meanwhile, the suffering in Greece just gets worse and worse. Sadly, most Americans pay very little attention to what is going on in Greece and Spain.Most Americans just assume that we will always have the greatest economy on earth and that we can take prosperity for granted. Unfortunately, the truth is that the United States already has more government debt per capita than either Greece or Spain does.Just like Greece and Spain, we are also rapidly traveling down the road to economic oblivion, and depression-like conditions will arrive in this country soon enough. So enjoy these last months of economic prosperity while you still can.A whole lot of pain is on the horizon. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Rumors Of Obama Becoming Next Supreme Court Justice Following the unexpected death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, Senate Republicans have gone to battle to make sure that President Barack Obama does not get to nominate a replacement for Scalia. They have made it abundantly clear that they do not intend to approve any nominees put forward by the president. The block stems from concerns that Obama will attempt to place another liberal justice in the court, therefore shifting the balance towards the left. If he does that successfully, the legal system could potentially favor his progressive agenda. However, NBC reports that Obama may have already decided who he will nominate to the Supreme Courtand it isnt looking good for Republicans to dismiss it outright. According to Supreme Court analyst Tom Goldstein, there is a very strong possibility that Obama will nominate Attorney General Loretta Lynch to fill the now-vacant seat. The fact that Lynch was vetted so recently for attorney general also makes it practical for the president to nominate her in a relatively short order, Goldstein wrote on his blog. Lynchs history as a career prosecutor makes it very difficult to paint her as excessively liberal Goldstein notes. Lynch would also be the first black female to be nominated for the Supreme Courtbringing in issues of race and gender sensitivity. I think the administration would relish the prospect of Republicans either refusing to give Lynch a vote or seeming to treat her unfairly in the confirmation process, Goldstein commented. Either eventuality would motivate both black and women voters. What do you think of this new rumor? 
1	Despite Syrian president Bashar al-Assads flat-out admission to the Russian leader that he was responsible for an August 21 chemical weapons attack on a suburban Damascus neighborhood, Russian president Vladimir Putin confirmed Wednesday that al-Assad has yet to provide a convincing case that he carried out the assault. Given the information Ive seen at this point, President Assad failed to show me clear, substantiated evidence that he used chemical weapons against the Syrian people, regardless of how many times he says I, Bashar al-Assad, President of Syria, am the one who did this while showing me videos of people dying of Sarin poisoning, said Putin, adding that he remains extremely skeptical despite phone conversations in which a reportedly frustrated Assad repeats, over and over again, the step-by-step account of how he authorized the use of nerve gas to kill over 1,400 people. We need to know all the facts before we act. I dont care how many autopsy reports, laboratory tests, or pictures of Assad pressing a button labeled chemical weapons launcher he sends mebefore we have conclusive proof that he and not the opposition forces did this, we cannot say that Syria is in violation of international law. Putin went on to confirm that until Assad proves beyond a doubt that he carried out the alleged attack, Russia will continue delivering components of a surface-to-air missile defense system to the Syrian government. 
3	Taxation is TheftBy Anachris The few on the top of the pyramid, those who understand what Money IS and how it works, will always rule the masses that are ignorant of this subject. But hey, the masses LOVE their delusions ! LOL Money is myth. And the money system requires we must all pretend it is real in order to exist. Thats why you will stay poor and will be ruled by those in the know. So infrastructure will be built by privately-owned companies, and I will be able to shop around so that market forces will come into play? During a crisis, will I be able to afford to pay a for-profit fire brigade, or will they be community volunteers? I was under the impression that Anarchy referred to a social system characterized by the decentralization of authority and can apply to both Capitalist and Socialist economic systems, as in Anarcho-capitalism, social anarchism/ socialist anarchism, anarcho-syndicalism, etc. Educate me. Who is taxed and the level of it may be theft, but the bigger problem is that profit is theft. You trade dollars for the services and protection of the state, no one forced you, so its not theft, it is just trade. you dont have to pay taxes, they are optional. Only U.S. citizens who use our currency and government services need pay taxes. If you dont use our systems of justice, you owe nothing. But if you really dont want what America has to offer, you should probably go to some other nation. So you feel you need to pay someone else to protect you? What you are telling me is you are incapable or you are just too damn lazy to protect yourself let alone take responsibility for yourself? So you need to trade currency for protection? (Which btw currency is a joke,that dollar bill sitting in your wallet only has value because we the people put a value on it. Other wise what is that piece of special paper really worth? Nothing it serves no purpose to survival or necessities we need as humans.) You dont have to pay taxes tell me when was the last time you didnt pay taxes on anything? Have you actually ever tried not paying taxes? And please tell me what services the government actually provides? Protection? Lol please, open your eyes, do you really believe that our armed forces and our government is here to protect us. Wrong, those armed forces that everyone is so proud of will be turned on We the people in a second if those who actually own the armed forces feel they need to protect their investments. 
2	ALERT: Donald Trump Is In Trouble... He Needs Our Help Even though Donald Trump is just days away, liberals are having a difficult time accepting the fact that he will be our nations 45th president. They continue to throw roadblocks in the way of a peaceful transition of powerand it only appears to be getting worse. The Daily Mail reported that a growing number of Democrat lawmakers have decided to boycott Trumps inauguration ceremony after a feud broke out between the President-elect and civil rights campaigner and Representative John Lewis. The disagreement began when Lewis claimed Trump will not be a legitimate President. Now, 18 Democratic representatives are standing behind Lewis, claiming they intend to boycott or even take part in resistance movements. Four of those representatives are members of Congress joined the movement after Trump tweeted that Lewis was all talk, no action. I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected, Lewis told NBC News. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong. Trump responded by calling Lewiss district in horrible shape and falling apart and talked of burning and crime infested inner-cities of the US. Democrats were quick to respond to Trumps comments, with New York Representative Yvette Clarke tweeting, I will NOT attend the inauguration of @realDonaldTrump. When you insult @repjohnlewis, you insult America. Clarke was joined by Ted Lieu, Mark Takano, and Judy Chuwho all had similar objections. For me, the personal decision not to attend Inauguration is quite simple, Lieu said in a statement. Do I stand with Donald Trump, or do I stand with John Lewis? I am standing with John Lewis. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
1	Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced Monday that he shows no favoritism to the Iraq war and, in fact, loves all his wars equally. 'Afghanistan, my first Gulf War, and all my covert operations in Central AmericaI may not say it often enough, but I'm as proud of them as I am of Iraqi Freedom,' a beaming Rumsfeld said. 'Sure, I may be giving Iraq more of my time now, but that's because it's so newly liberated. When those other wars had just started, I was just as involved with them.' Rumsfeld added that he expects 'a little jealousy' when mounting tensions in Syria begin to demand the Defense Department's attention.

1	According to guests lined up at the front desk and seated at the nearby hotel bar, the entire Marriott Courtyard lobby was treated to every song in 4-year-old Emma Freelands catalogue Wednesday while her parents checked into their room. I thought she might just sing us The Itsy-Bitsy Spider, but noshe segued right into Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, and then launched into an energetic choreographed rendition of Im A Little Teapot, said business traveler Sean Erskine, explaining how the complimentary show then continued with an extended four-minute rendition of The Wheels On The Bus as Freelands parents negotiated for an oceanfront room with a pull-out bed. I figured the half-sung, half-hummed version of Hes Got The Whole World In His Hands was the grand finale, but after a brief intermission to hide between her mothers legs, she came back with an encore performance of Im A Little Teapot and a spirited all-chorus version of Old MacDonald Had A Farm. Youve got to hand it to hershe completely emptied her songbook for us. After her parents received their room keys, Freeland reportedly bid her audience goodbye before holding a shorter, more intimate after-show performance for those riding the elevator up to the 23rd floor. 
1	In a move that media executives, economic forecasters, and business analysts alike are calling 'extremely bold,' NYTimes.com put into place a groundbreaking new business model today in which the news website will charge people money to consume the goods and services it provides. 'The whole idea of an American business trying to make a profit off of a product its hired professionals create on a daily basis is a truly brave and intrepid strategy,' said media analyst Steve Messner, adding that NYTimes.com's extremely risky new approach to commercewherein legal tender must be exchanged in order to receive a desired servicecould drastically reduce the publication's readership. 'To ask NYTimes.com's 33 million unique monthly visitors to switch to a cash-for-manufactured-goods-based model from the standard everything-online-should-be-free-for-reasons-nobody-can-really-explain-based model is pretty fearless. It's almost as if The New York Times is equating itself with a business trying to function in a capitalistic society.' In a statement released last Thursday, the newspaper's publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. said, 'If this fails, I'd honestly rather The New York Times not exist in a world where people are unwilling to pay the price of a fucking movie ticket for a monthly online subscription.' 
1	Saying he was 'still stressed out' from the tension of winning his fifth consecutive Sprint Cup, Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson unwound Tuesday by taking his No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet for a leisurely 180 mph drive through the North Carolina countryside. 'Sometimes I just like to throw on my comfy old Nomex suit and gloves, slide through the window of my Chevy, strap on the HANS device, buckle into that five-point racing harness, and just go,' said Johnson, who claimed nothing was more soothing than watching the miles click by at the rate of three a minute. 'I love turning up the radio and putting my elbow up on the fire extinguisher while I just kind of watch the world hurtle by like I haven't got a care in the world.' Johnson returned two hours later, having only stopped outside of Atlanta for 9.6 seconds to get gas.

2	Wounded Marine Stood Saluting For Hours, But Then These Bikers Showed Up... Amazing [VIDEO] If youre like us, these videos are almost sure to bring a tear to your eye. The annual Rolling Thunder celebration recently took place in Washington D.C. near the Lincoln Memorial. During the event, thousands of bikers from across America gather to pay tribute to those who have served and fallen for our country. A traditional element of the celebration is The Lone Marine who stands in his dress blues in a precise salute. He stands with white-gloved fingers extends to a slight degree, with his back straight without moving for 3 hours. The marine stands in the center of the boulevard as a caravan of motorcycles continues to pass slowly on both sides. Many stop to return the salute, some honk in support, and others stop to give the soldier water or whisper words of encouragement. The videos of this interaction below are truly heartwarming and remind us of those who fought and died to protect America and our values. Watch the footage below and tell us what you think. 
2	Donald Trump Just Got The Best News Of His Life For the first few months of his campaign, the GOP establishment maintained that frontrunner Donald Trump was a passing fad. It was widely believed that he would not win the nomination. That is all about to change. According to The Washington Post, Trump is on track to win the 1,237 delegates he needs by the end of the primaries to claim the Republican nomination. Before Nevada, he held a strong lead with 67 delegates. In comparison, Ted Cruz has 11, Marco Rubio has 10, John Kasich has five, and Ben Carson has three. Now, Trump received an additional dozen delegates in Nevada, giving him 79 total. Trump is expected to receive half of the winner-take-all delegates, and about 30% of the additional 618 delegates are given a hybrid process between winner-take-all and proportional allocation. That is a total of 412 delegates. What do you think? Will Trump win the Republican nomination? 
2	Attorney Refuses To Remove Her Offensive BLM Pin, Has No Idea What Judge Is About To Do [VIDEO] According to reports, an attorney was recently removed from the courtroom for wearing a terrorist symbol and refusing to remove it. The attorney was reportedly given the boot and taken into custody after a judge declared her in contempt for refusing to take off a Black Lives Matter pin. Youngstown Municipal Court Judge Robert Milich said Attorney Andrea Burton was in contempt of court for refusing to remove the pin in his courtroom. Because of her stubbornness, she was sentence to five days in jail. She has since been released and will stay out of jail during the appeals process as long as she obeys Milichs order not to make a political statement in court. 
3	Smart Houses Added to List of Hacker ThreatsBy Kevin Samson As was noted recently, not only are modern cars open to being hacked, but also boats, planes, and GPS-driven munitions and unmanned vehicles. (Source) So, perhaps you think youll ditch the modern car, get rid of the smartphone, limit travel and hunker down safe and cozy in your home. Well, unfortunately, if your house is filled with modern appliances and electronics, it could potentially open up a literal nightmare experience. Smart Meters have arguably garnered the most concern in the housing market, as homeowners have begun voicing their concerns about documentedhealth and privacyissues. But what if you were awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call, and the person on the line told you they were taking full remote control over your home? Then proved it by turning your lights on and off, starting up the dishwasher, blasting your TV at full volume, and turning up the heat. Then you hear your garage door opening. This type of haunting scenario was the subject of Kashmir Hills article writing for Forbes titled, When Smart Homes Get Hacked: I Haunted A Complete Strangers House Via The Internet. The evolution of the full-fledged Smart Home is receiving billions in investment, and many consumers are jumping in head first without thinking through some of the implications: The physical intrusion certainly could come from a common hacker bent on robbery, but more troubling is the open admission by the CIA that they will invade your home as well. It is all part and parcel of what is termed The Internet of Things. And, increasingly, one does not necessarily have to buy into the concept of a Smart Home to become vulnerable. In conjunction with a recent unveiling of a new low-powered computer chip by ARM, one of the worlds largest chip companies, the fact is virtually every piece of electronic equipment (including appliances) can be controlled via apps and Internet-based systems. It is for this reason that Petraeus stated that the CIA will be able to read these devices via the Internet and even radio waves outside of the home. Petraeus further stated, Transformational is an overused word, but I do believe it properly applies to these technologies. Particularly to their effect on clandestine tradecraft. Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters all connected to the next-generation internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing. (Source) Beyond controlling the devices themselves, there was a vast amount of personal information that was open to be accessed by Kashmir Hill in her hauntings. Among the eight homes she was able to access, she reportsthe following: Sensitive information was revealed not just what appliances and devices people had, but their time zone (along with the closest major city to their home), IP addresses and even the name of a child; apparently, the parents wanted the ability to pull the plug on his television from afar. In at least three cases, there was enough information to link the homes on the Internet to their locations in the real world. The names for most of the systems were generic, but in one of those cases, it included a street address that I was able to track down to a house in Connecticut. As we continue to see, there are gaping security holes in nearly every modern computing application. This has been confirmed beyond what might be construed as simple government fear-mongering. However, the best-funded intelligence networks on the planet and the highest-level tech corporations seem to be caught off guard. This is where we should be rightly skeptical; more likely is that these flaws will scare us enough to get us to accept the next wave of security features, which will likely tie us even closer to their surveillance grid. The near future could easily head down the path to full dystopia where we are subjected to surveillance and control outside of our homes, as well as inside. Apparently, if you are into controlling the lives of others whether you are in the government or private sector the modern world is a very smart one indeed. 
2	Police Are Warning Parent According to recent reports, there has been an uprising of normal-looking candies being distributed with high contents of medical marijuana in them. In fact, police in Massachusetts just had to warn parents about the risk of spiked candy after several children became ill after eating marijuana-infused gummies. Reports indicate that the laced candy looks like normal Swedish Fish, and authorities are warning parents to take a moment and look at what your children have on them before they leave the house. The dangers of medical marijuana for children are plentiful, and can cause irreparable harm on a developing brain. The effects of THC are much more harmful on kids than they are on adults, who often feel that they can use the drug without consequence. The drug, EdiPure Red Fish, are now in the hands of children. Do police need to enforce stricter guidelines on medical marijuana? 
2	Sickening $57,000 Obama Family Purchase Leaked To The Public Since she managed to sneak her way into the White House, Michelle Obama has proven to be an expert at blowing Americans tax payer dollars on herself in a rather obnoxious manner. It doesnt seem to bother her to live the most the most excessively luxurious lifestyle on the hardworking Americans money. Last February she went on a expensive ski trip with her daughters in Aspen, Colorado via her private jet. According to the documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act reveal that Michelle spent over $57k on flights alone. Disturbing According to Daily Mail, the round-trip flight from Andrews Air Force Base took 7.4 hours of flying time in a Gulfstream 550 aircraft, which is a $53.5 million plane that costs $7,712 per hour. Michelle even tried to keep this on the hush-hush from Americans. Unfortunately for her, she was caught red handed, and has nothing to say for it. What do you think about Michelles outlandish spending? 
3	Surprise! Monsanto-Funded Research Finds Their Products SafeSayer Ji, Contributor Corporations like Monsanto, whose GMO-agriculture inventions (Bt corn; Roundup herbicide) now threaten human and environmental health alike, have moved beyond the stage of simply denying or minimizing the science revealing the harm being done by their products (there is too much science now to maintain this strategy!); rather, they are now investing in the burgeoning, multi-billion dollar industry practice known as check book science: find willing researchers, research institutions, and journals to create and publish information favorable to the company writing the check, and youre in business. Case in point. A review on glyphosate (Monsantos invention and key ingredient in their Roundup herbicide formulation) titled, Developmental and reproductive outcomes in humans and animals after glyphosate exposure: a critical analysis, was published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health late last year which claimed the following: [T]he available literature shows no solid evidence linking glyphosate exposure to adverse developmental or reproductive effects at environmentally realistic exposure concentrations. The authors acknowledge the Monsanto company for funding and for providing its unpublished glyphosate and surfactant toxicity study reports. Their report aimed to discredit the work of a French research group at the Institut Jaques Monod who published five articles indicating glyphosates wide-ranging potential for environmental and human harm.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] In their newly published rebuttal titled, LETTER TO THE EDITOR: TOXICITY OF ROUNDUP AND GLYPHOSATE, the French research team pointed out several serious flaws in the Monsanto-friendly scientists criticism of their work. The first major flaw was their total disregard for the scientific context within which their glyphosate research was performed, namely, the DNA-damaging and carcinogenic potential of the chemical. The second flaw was the claim that their results were not environmentally relevant (repeated 5 times in the article), despite the fact that the French researchers were able to demonstrate toxicity in 100% of the individual cells at short exposure time below the usage concentration (20 mM) of the herbicide in present agricultural applications. They elaborated on this point further: Therefore, regarding the considerable amount of glyphosate-based product sprayed worldwide, the concentration of Roundup in every single micro droplet is far above the threshold concentration that would activate the cell cycle checkpoint. (2) The effects we demonstrate were obtained by a short exposure time (minutes) of the cells to glyphosate-based products, and nothing excludes that prolonged exposure to lower doses may also have effects. Since glyphosate is commonly found present in drinking water in many countries, low doses with long exposure by ingestion are a fact. The consequences of this permanent long term exposure remain to be further investigated but cannot just be ignored. In the interest of countervailing the mis- and disinformation, we are indexing research on the under-reported, adverse effects of glyphosate (the active ingredient which now includes 20 toxic properties associated with 30+ diseases or disease symptoms.

3	Missouri Senate Panel Approves Nullification of Federal Gun Lawsselfnews Post The foundational language of this bill comes right from Thomas Jefferson, said Tenth Amendment Center communications director Mike Maharrey. And when it comes to the 2nd Amendment, its hard to be in better company than Jefferson himself. HB1439 declares that the state rejects the idea of unlimited submission to federal power. It also declares that whenever the federal government assumes powers that the people did not grant it in the Constitution, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force. Jefferson wrote the following in the Kentucky Resolutions, which passed Nov. 10, 1798: and HB1439 would make it state law that all federal acts, laws, executive orders, administrative orders, court orders, rules, and regulations, whether past, present, or future which infringe on the peoples right to keep and bear arms shall be invalid in this state, shall not be recognized by this state, shall be specifically rejected by this state, and shall be considered null and void and of no effect in this state. Those federal acts which are considered infringing are spelled out in HB1439, including, but not limited to: (2) Any registering or tracking of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which might reasonably be expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens; (3) Any registering or tracking of the owners of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition which might reasonably be expected to create a chilling effect on the purchase or ownership of those items by law-abiding citizens; (4) Any act forbidding the possession, ownership, or use or transfer of a firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition by law-abiding citizens; and (5) Any act ordering the confiscation of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition from law-abiding citizens. Missouri courts and law enforcement agencies would be required to actively protect the right to keep and bear arms from such infringements. The legislation also specifically bans all state employees from enforcing or attempting to enforce any federal acts running counter to the proposed law. These provisions banning state participation in the enforcement of federal gun control measures are based on the virtually-undisputed long-standing legal doctrine known as anti-commandeering. Court precedent from 1842 to 2012 holds the feds simply cannot require state to help them carry out their acts. In short, the state can simply stand down, leaving enforcement to a seriously undermanned federal government. Such a tactic is an extremely effective way to stop a federal government busting at the seams. Even the National Governors Association admitted the same recently when they sent out a press release noting that States are partners with the federal government in implementing most federal programs. In practice, this means states can create impediments to enforcing and implementing most federal programs. On federal gun control measures, Judge Andrew Napolitano suggested that a single state standing down on enforcement would make federal gun laws nearly impossible to enforce within that state. James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, advised this very tactic as well. Madison supplied the blueprint for resisting federal power in Federalist 46. He outlined several steps that states can take to effective stop an unwarrantable measure, or even a warrantable measure of the federal government. Madison called for refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union as a way to successfully thwart federal acts. An emergency clause was added to the bill before final passage in the House. This would make the bill effective sooner than the required 90 days after the session in which it is passed. It requires a two-thirds vote of each chamber. HB1439 now moves on to the senate floor. Since the Senate committee made some technical improvements to close potential legal loopholes in the bill, it will go back to the house for one final concurrence should it pass.

1	Homo leagues all-star Tyler Patton shattered baseball's long-standing sexual orientation barrier Monday by signing a four-year, $10.5 million contract with the Oakland A's. Patton, 23, whose speed, nifty fielding, and dependable hitting made him a homo-league sensation in only three seasons with the Kansas City Gay Royals, is Major League Baseball's first openly gay player. 'I had heard Oakland was interested, but you hear rumors all the time,' Patton said in a press conference after his signing. 'I was just concentrating on playing baseball, and then last week I got the call. Honestly, I know people think my being gay is a big deal, but I still just want to help the A's past the Angels.' Oakland general manager Billy Beane said Patton's commitment to the sport above and beyond his personal issues is the reason he chose to pursue the second baseman. 'Coming here from the homo leagues, Patton's in for a lot of heat from the fans,' Beane said. 'And not just the fans. Every time they talk about his open stance, every time he throws a guy out from his knees, every time he goes deep in the hole, there's going to be an uncomfortable silence at the very least. But I believe Patton has the focus to put that aside and just play.' Reactions from MLB have been mixed, with most teams declining any official comment, and commissioner Bud Selig saying in a radio interview Tuesday morning that the historic signing was 'fine, if that's what the A's want to do, I guess.' However, many insiders say the move to involve gay players has been a long time in coming. 'Though it draws only 10 or 15 percent as many fans as the majors, the Homo Leagues have a history of community, fantastic play, and above all, pride,' sportswriter Peter Gammons said when the signing was announced. 'The league's faithful have stood by their men from its inception in the '30s, through the so-called 'frisky ball' era of the '50s, past the league-wide amyl nitrate abuse scandal of the '70s, and on to the Log Cabin schism of the '90s. But what so often gets lost in all this is that Homo League players can flat-out play baseball. Now, after decades during which gay fans had nothing in the major leagues to call their own, save for perhaps some of the mustaches, Patton finally gives them someone to root for.' Still, Patton's critics, while stopping well short of bigotry, point to HLB's reputation for fast-paced, high-strung, often flashy baseball, and speculate on whether Patton will hold up. Many say his gaudy .342 batting average, .4353 on-base percentage, and three Gold Lam Glove awards during three seasons in the homo leagues are meaningless in terms of his future success. 'Sure, Tyler did well against homo-league pitching,' Skip Bayless said Tuesday on ESPN's 1st and 10. 'But he's not playing against the Boston Pink Sox or the New York Gay Yankees anymore. In fact, the Gay Yankees didn't even pursue him last season when they needed a second baseman. I wish him all the luck in the world, but I think he's a gay bust.' Many baseball insiders, while acknowledging the social value of Patton's signing, struggled to discuss the implications of a homo-league star playing in the majors. 'Er, I, uh, well, I wish Patton good luck, and you know, we'll, um, I guess we'll wait and, uh, wait and see,' said Baseball Tonight commentator Jon Kruk, who seemed unable to look directly at his cohosts or into the camera while discussing Patton's signing. 'Good luck, Patton. I mean, uh, yeah.' Patton himself, who is scheduled to start next week, says he cannot wait to put the hype behind him. 'Yes, it'll be difficult, not because I'm gay, but because it's Major League Baseball,' Patton said. 'Plus, let's face itdo you seriously think I'm the first gay major-leaguer ever? Seriously? And before anyone says anything, you are all just so wrong about Mike Piazza.'

2	Michelle Obama Is FURIOUS After Bill OReilly Slams Her On National TV According to recent reports, Michelle Obama dared to ask the United Nations Global Education First Initiative whether we truly value women as equals, or do we see them as merely second class citizens? Are we working to become more equal, more free? she continued. Bill OReilly took him upon himself to criticize the First Lady, claiming that she should not imply that America is not fair to women. Bill claims that Michelle does not understand what she is talking about, or how an emotional difference between men and women is constituted. It is true that only 15% of women hold top executive positions in the Fortune 500 companies, and that an old boy network makes it tougher for the ladies to gain power, Bill OReilly continued. That does not seem to be fair, but life is not fair. Were sure that Bill is going to be criticized for this. What do you think? Do you support his statements? 
1	A new Constitution of the United States was ratified today, less than a week after the nation discovered the previous Constitution had expired. The new constitution, which will henceforth serve as our country's guiding document, was written in just under five hours by a group of former congressmen with the help of a handful of prominent business leaders who stepped forward mid-crisis to offer their assistance. Since there was no official rule of law at the time of the writing, the group granted themselves the power to ratify the new U.S. Constitution immediately after penning it. The new Constitution, officially called 'AT&T Presents General Electric's Constitution Of The United States Of America' is over 500 pages long and, as stipulated in New Article 9, the full text of the constitution shall never be made public. However, the first page of the document can be seen after the jump. -->--> 
2	See What John Kerry Said That Made Netanyahu Hang Up On Him And Not Call Back It is no secret that under representation of John Kerry, the Obama administration has been immensely unpopular during the crisis in Israel. Now, it appears that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got so frustrated with Kerrys antics that he hung up on him mid-call and did not call him back to continue the conversation. Their phone call was cut off, claimed Israeli State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. She claims that the interference was simply a communications issue. Still, with the palpable tension in the air between the United States and Israel, its hard to imagine the action was purely coincidental. At the very least, we deem it a happy accident. The administration has continuously decided to meddle in Israels affairs, and have gone so far as to interfere with Israels defense of the nation. The cost of these actions has been seen, and it appears that Israel is no longer willing to take orders from the United States. What do you think? Has American become too involved in foreign affairs? 
2	Youll Never Believe How This Delta Airline Disrespected A Wounded Warrior When Lance Cpl. Christian Brown, a double-amputee Marine, booked a flight for delta, he had no that the airline would go to great lengths to humiliate him. Browns injury stems from an accident that happened in the field, when he was leading his squad on foot patrol if Afghanistan. He stepped on an explosive device. The accident changed his life forever, and he lost both of his legs, and part of his right index finger. When Brown was boarding his flight, he was not the only veteran in the terminal. Army Lt. Col. Keith Gafford, who was also on the flight in a first class seat. When he saw Brown being wheeled down the aisle with a 104-degree fever, he offered him his seat. However, the flight crew from Delta refused it, and he was moved to the back of the airplane without care. I have been flying with Delta for a gazillion years, and this crew treated Chris worse than youd treat any thing, not even any body, Gafford told reporters. What the kid said was, I have given everything that I can give and this is the way I am being treated? This is how I will be treated for the rest of my life? A former helicopter with nearly 30 years of service was with him, and turned out to be seated in the back row next to Brown. She was furious after watching the vet be so humiliated as he was carelessly pushed down the aisle of the plane to be abandoned in the plane. According to her reports, Brown was silently crying when she got to the back. What do you think? Will you boycott Delta? 
3	The Holidays Are Coming Time to Stock Up On Slave Made Goods From China?Anna Hunt Halloween and the holiday season are just around the corner, and this means big bucks for retailers, just the type of shot-in-the-arm our economyneeds, so they say. Shoppers are stocking up on Halloween decorations to place in their front yards, porches and homes, just as an Oregon woman, Julie Keith, did in late 2011 when she purchased a Styrofoam headstone Halloween decoration and discovered a message-in-a-bottle from a desperate Chinese worker. We often dont think about how it is possible to make products in such a way that we pay only $29.99 or $9.99 or $1.99 and the low-cost of imported goods seems even more unrealistic considering the products are shipped all the way from the other side of the planet. Thanks to planned obsolescence and a consumer culture, we most often throw the items away when they break or even just look worn we can replace them easily next year since there are isles of these items in each department and grocery store for months prior to the holiday season. But the reality of where the Styrofoam headstones came from was clearly revealed to Julie Keith when she opened the packaging many months after making her purchase and found a hidden letter written by an inmate of the Chinese labor camp where the product was made. The letter was a plea for help, giving just a small glimpse of the verbal and physical abuse some would venture to even say torture that takes place in these camps. Chinese labor camps were established by the Peoples Republic of China under the rule of Chairman Mai Zedong as part of its Re-education Through Labor system of punishment. These camps are filled with inmates called students by the government who are detained without trial for crimes including offenses such as: criticizing the government through petitions or journalism; religious offenses such as following Christianity or the Falun Gong spiritual movement; and criminal offenses such as petty theft and hooliganism. Even without the physical abuse, some would consider the 15-hour work days of the inmates to constitute cruel treatment, especially since they work every single day and only receive 10 yuan per month an equivalent to about $1.61. Videos of the Chinese labor camps have been popping up on the Internet over the last several years, as inmates and their families continue, in desperation, to petition human rights organizations and the world for more humane treatment of the people sentenced to labor camps, often without a single day in court. Below is a report that shows some of this footage: Although the Chinese government has claimed they will try to reform the Re-education Through Labor system, on the demand side it is up to us, the purchasers, to consider how products are produced when we make our purchase decisions. Next time youre looking through the dollar bins at Target trying to decide how many plastic pumpkins and ghosts to get, or when youre dazzled by the holiday dcor of your neighbors awesome front yard display and start to question the inferiority of your own front yard, realize that it is quite possible that some of these products are made by people forced to work in slave labor conditions. And many of these laborers have been incarcerated just for having what the Chinese government considers to be improper political or spiritual beliefs. Even though it is illegal in the US to import products made by forced labor, the example of the tombstone Halloween decoration clearly shows that the supposed checks and balances in place to monitor such a law are loose and inconsistent, and certainly available to corruption. For arguments sake, you could justify to yourself that Julie Keiths tombstone was part of a small shipment of Halloween dcor that snuck through US customs unnoticed; since it is illegal to import such products, it is surely a rare occurrence (and biotech companies just want to end world hunger, and politicians are never influenced by money and power). You could argue that you only buy from brand name companies that tout fair working conditions and pay, and ones that have outlined a publicized standard for their global workforce, such as Mattels Global Manufacturing Principles. The reality is that working conditions in many of the factories in China, as well as in other countries that promote inexpensive manual labor, are not what one would consider fair or just. Late last year, a report filed by the China Labor Watch organization (CLW) out of New York revealed that Mattels directly-controlled supplier factories are not-only treating their employees unfairly but are abusive to them as well. Heres an excerpt from their press release on the matter: CLWs investigation revealed at least 15 sets of violations in four factories together employing about 10,000 workers: illegal overtime pay, excessive overtime, forced labor, myriad safety concerns, a lack of safety training, a lack of physical exams, inability to resign from work, blank labor contracts,unpaid work, a lack of social insurance, use of dispatch workers, a lack of a living wage, poor living conditions, unreasonable rules, and a lack of effective grievance channels. (Source) The examples of unacceptable manufacturing practices and abusive treatment of workers throughout the world, such as the scandals at Apples Foxconn, are numerous and easily found. Yet, Chinese workers still migrate to factories largely by choice since there are few other options for employment, leaving their families to live at the factory in the hope of saving enough to improve their living standard, even if just by a little. Can we take it onto ourselves, the global customers, to influence large companies to adhere to better manufacturing practices, human rights and even environmental consideration? Below is a TED Talk by journalist and author of Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China Leslie T. Chang, who gives more insight into Chinas migrant workers mindset. Perhaps the migrant Chinese worker truly doesnt care if you do buy another plastic doll this Christmas. Perhaps their working conditions wont change at all if you decide not to. But realize that you have also become a faceless part of this soulless equation you are the consumer no longer referred to as a citizen by newscasters sometimes as mindless and as easily-influenced as the advertisers want you to be. The decisions we make here in our frenzied journeys to malls and strip-malls impact people all over the world, the environment, our local communities and our children. Perhaps while swimming in the endless sea of disposable slave-made products this holiday season, as you start in on another holiday shopping season, you could first take pause and reflect on the nature of freedom and how our choices affect the freedom of other people.

1	The international theological and sociopolitical communities reacted with shock Monday to the unexpected realization that, contrary to nearly 2,000 years of expectations concerning the new millennium, there is no seven-headed dragon rising in the East to enslave all of humanity. Apocalypse Watch 'Despite the fact that these occurrences are clearly delineated in the prophetic Biblical writings of John of Patmos, we have no reports at this time of any seven-headed dragons, rapturous vanishings of the Elect, or armies of the Morningstar amassing under the leadership of the Antichrist and preparing to engage in final battle with the forces of righteousness,' said Oxford University professor Dr. Thomas Lesser. 'In fact, not only is there no seven-headed dragon, but there appears to be no evidence of dragons of any sort, seven-headed or not, in the East or anywhere else.' 'To be honest, we can't make any sense of it,' Lesser said. 'This flies in the face of virtually everything we know about end-of-the-century world politics.' An artist's depiction of the inexplicably missing apocalyptic dragon. According to Dr. Julian Nolan, founder of the Institute for Tribulation-Era Millennial Studies and an advisor to the U.S. State Department, the dragon absence is 'mind-boggling.' Speaking before the president and cabinet members at a special briefing this morning, Nolan said: 'As difficult as this may be to comprehend, we face the very real possibility that much of the information contained in the Book of Revelations may not be as relevant to our modern era as previously believed.' Nevertheless, many experts remain convinced that the dragon's failure to materialize must have some reasonable explanation. 'Think about it,' said Dartmouth College political-science chair Dr. Kent Finlayson. 'A seven-headed dragon with ten horns whose arrival heralds the Age of Armageddon and the time of tribulation? Who, furthermore, will decree that all who swear allegiance to him be affixed with the Number of the Beast, which is 666? It just makes perfect sense. There must be some logical explanation as to why this beast hasn't surfaced to torment the earth. If we simply remain calm and avoid jumping to conclusions based on things we don't yet understand, I'm confident we'll find out why through research and clear-headed analysis.' Around the globe, top scholars are doing just that, attempting to locate the missing dragon or, at the very least, develop an acceptable theory to explain the demonic creature's mysterious delay in arriving. In addition, an international task force made up of intelligence agents from more than 150 countries and coordinated by the United Nations, is currently combing the globe for any evidence of the whereabouts of the dragon or his armies of Hell, which are reportedly 'many multitudes' strong. Thus far, however, the search has yielded no leads. A clue to finding out why the dragon has yet to manifest itself, some experts believe, may lie in the related question of why the earth has not also seen various other manifestations of ancient prophecy: seven seals, seven horns, seven lampposts, and so on. It is believed that once these non-materialized prophecies can be explained, the dragon's location may become more apparent. According to Dr. Benjamin Fullmer of the prestigious Center for Armageddon-Era Historical Studies, when the dragon does appear, it should be easily identifiable. 'Our most reliable sources,' Fullmer said, 'tell us that this dragon, in addition to having seven heads and ten horns, will be covered with blasphemous names across its flanks. Additionally, there is expected to be a woman, described in leading journals as a whore, riding atop the scaly creature and holding a golden cup filled with abominable things. The exact nature of these abominable things remains unclear at this time, but we do know that the filth of her adulteries will constitute at least some of the abominable things in this cup.' 'Therefore,' Fullmer said, 'anyone with any knowledge of the whereabouts of a golden cup filled at least partially with the filth of adulteries should contact the center immediately. It could provide us with a vital clue we need to resolve this enigma.' Fullmer added that this mysterious, dragon-riding whore may also be identifiable by an inscription on her forehead reading, 'MysteryBabylon The Great, The Mother of Prostitutes and the Abominations of the Earth.' Fullmer said it is not known at this time to what this inscription might refer. If no explanation can be found for the absence of the dragon, as well as the lack of trumpets and other turn-of-the-millennium prophetic phenomena, a major reassessment of the geotheopolitical landscape of the new millennium may be unavoidable. 'Though it seems virtually unthinkable, we may need to come up with some radically different ideas about what to expect on the global scene in the immediate future,' said Biblical scholar Dr. Paul Tillich of the University of Chicago School of Divinity. 'However strange it may seem, there appear to be some indications that these ancient texts may be less credible than hoped.' 'There are some fringe elements, for example, who insist that these writings from Patmos are merely an allegory pertaining to a specific and localized political situation at some point during the reign of Nero, Domitian or Vespasian in the first century AD,' Tillich said. 'Now, I'm not saying we should fly off the handle and buy into something like that just yetI mention it only as a particularly far-fetched example. My point is simply that something equally ridiculous-sounding may, in fact, be an unavoidable conclusion unless a seven-headed, ten-horned dragon manifests itself soon.' 
1	In a stunning revelation, doctors announced at a press conference Thursday that mandatory Super Bowl blood testing proved that head coaches Jim and John Harbaugh do not share the same father. The Paternity Index from our DNA profiling analysis shows conclusive evidence that Jack Harbaugh is Johns father, but Jim is in fact the product of a relationship between his mother and another man, said Dr. Gabriel Hosea, adding that the identity of the man in question will not be made public at this current juncture. I have already informed the Harbaughs, and while this was obviously shocking news to members of their family, we simply ask that you respect their privacy during this difficult time. At press time, sources within the 49ers organization confirmed that Jim Harbaugh had just left New Orleans to seek out his real father. 
3	Now is the Time to Stop Smart GunsJulie Beal, Contributor Then Obama issued his executive orders, or rather, made a speech about guns, including measures that could further the introduction of these personalized weapons. The mainstream has also been reporting on this issue, so Im mystified as to why there is still no real reaction: the focus of gun rights advocates remains on the mental health aspect. So excuse me for shouting, but its high time to: DEMAND A PLAN TO STOP SMART GUNS BECAUSE: I am a UK researcher; people here rarely talk about guns, and its uncommon to see them being used or carried. However, Im trying to inform people about smart guns because Im opposed to all of the programs which require implantation with a microchip for security reasons, and because the police and military[1] have an alarming array of awful weapons to use against us[2]. In the UK, The Telegraph just reported that Google wants people to use a ring to have a single online sign-in (this is identity management): . In a research paper, two security experts at the web giant have outlined a future in which the main way of guaranteeing we are who we say we are online will be possession of a physical token, perhaps embedded in smartphones or even jewellery. They have added to growing claims that passwords are both inherently insecure and increasingly impractical. Wed like your smartphone or smartcard-embedded finger ring to authorize a new computer via a tap on the computer, even in situations in which your phone might be without cellular connectivity, the Googlers wrote. I also believe that the proposed large-scale manufacture of smart guns should be dominating the gun control debate in America, because they seem set to be regulated as a consumer product, which must therefore have safety features so ALL guns would need to conform. This would enable wide area control, meaning any gun could be remotely disabled. When the authorities decide they dont want you to use your gun, they can just switch it off. The White House is now poised to act, and the guns are ready to go into production. The next move is to get the approval of Congress probably legislation to bring guns (and/or safety mechanisms) under the Consumer Product Safety Act. The issue needs a good public airing well before that. Especially since Anonymous put out a video inciting Americans to fight their government: American people have decided to openly declare war on the United States government. This is a call to arms. We call upon the Citizens of the United States to stand beside us in overthrowing this corrupted body and call upon a new era. Rising up with guns is a surefire way to convince Congress to legislate the manufacture of safe guns. A color revolution for the smart world order, for which the table has already been laid. Following Joe Bidens round of meetings to address gun control in the country, a gun policy summit was convened by the Johns Hopkins University last week, and was attended by some of the global leaders in gun policy and violence representing the fields of law, medicine, public health, advocacy and public safety. These people are said to have reached consensus on a number of issues, leading to the release of a list of recommendations, including personalized guns: All of the researchers recommendations have been compiled into a book which has been published in just two weeks! The book includes the above smart gun recommendations, and the back cover features praise from Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City; Martin OMalley, Governor of Maryland; and David Satcher, 16th Surgeon General of America. The book (Reducing Gun Violence in America: Informing Policy with Evidence and Analysis) is edited by Daniel Webster, the co-director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research, and Jon Vernick, who has done a lot of research, some of it with Stephen Teret (see below), to advance the development of personalized weapons. New York Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, who is also co-chair of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, has written the foreword. The book includes an analysis of the constitutionality of many recommended policies and data from a national public opinion poll that reflects support among the majority of Americansincluding gun ownersfor stronger gun policies. [Please note, the video takes 3.5 minutes to start, and Terets speech is from 46 mins and 50 secs to 1 hour and 14 mins.] One of the speakers at the summit was Stephen P. Teret, a long-time champion of personalizing weapons, and setting safety standards for them. He gave a thirty minute speech[3] at last weeks Gun Policy Summit, in which he stressed the need to design guns responsibly, and safely. He claimed the technology is already available, and all America needs now is regulation. He described two designs one of which, produced by Armatix, is the iP1, and is, said Teret, being sold in Europe now and is ready to be sold here in the U.S. this is ready now. This is for sale now in Europe. Teret also said that the ATF approved the iP1 personalized gun for importation in December 2011 it uses both fingerprint sensors and RFID (it comes with a microchipped wristwatch). Teret then goes on to describe the smart gun developed by TriggerSmart, which operates on the same High Frequency band used for contactless credit cards, and is said to work in an instant. Use of a ring, wristwatch, or implant[4] is required, as with the Armatix system. The CEO of Armatix, Bernd Dietel, and the founder of TriggerSmart, Robert McNamara, were both present at the summit. Teret commented that, in a conversation with Dietel, about the expected impact on prices, Dietel had asserted, once you get economies of scale going, it will increase the cost of a gun 10-20%. There was no mention by Teret of the dynamic finger grip gun design I described in my last article the two most likely designs both require a chip to be present either in or on the hand. The suggestion that all police forces and other gun owners should have to wear a ring or watch at all times just to fire their gun is ludicrous. Nobody could be expected never to lose or forget to wear the device, to be unable to, or to have it stolen. Implanting a chip into the hand only takes a couple of minutes, and is then secure. Hands, however, are removable. On Christmas day, 2012, Robert McNamara posted a message to the policemag.com forum asking for advice on how to bring his gun design to the attention of the authorities in the U.S.: Firstly, if Mrs Lanza had TriggerSmart installed in her guns then Adam could not have fired the guns without her authorization RFID tag. Secondly, if TriggerSmart Wide Area control was installed at the school then any TriggerSmart guns could have been disabled at point of entry to safe zone. It is my intention to licence our technology free to every school and University in the USA free of charge. we have been GRANTED a patent in the USA and I am just back from South Africa where they want to use our technology to prevent the gun violence there and I have had some enquiries from KSA and Egypt, UK and Norway where there were over 70 killed in a massacre last year. On New Years Eve, McNamara again posted to a forum about his childproof RFID smart guns What our technology can do is create a zone to disable guns if they come within a safe zone such as a school, airport etc. We call this Wide Area Control or WAC. The guns need to have TS RFID technology installed in the first place. In an email sent to Mitch Barker, (Executive Director, WA Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs), McNamara implied the Connecticut massacre had helped build the momentum .. on .. our side of advocating safer guns and safer gun laws. Barker replied, I believe there is a huge market for this technology. More importantly, I believe it will save many lives. The police market, as you know, has looked at smart guns for years. They will be a tough group to convince because of the concern the weapon will not fire when needed. While I believe there is much that can be done to help move this to the police/military market, it seems that the civilian market is a much better place to begin. McNamara has just been interviewed by Fox News, looking oddly shifty and uncomfortable. In the interview, he claims his design will cause the gun to be fired by an authorised user within a quarter of a second. He dismisses biometrics as unreliable, and says a pilot program will be up and running in a short time. TriggerSmart was granted a patent in the U.S. last year, and has an international patent pending. However, the product has not yet reached production stage: McNamara says he wants to make 50-100 of the guns and give them to the police and the military for testing. Teret is very optimistic that regulation on smart guns will be forthcoming; he is well placed to influence policy during his speech, he recounts his meeting to discuss personalized weapons with Bidens taskforce last week, which had concluded with Attorney General Eric Holder endorsing smart guns the technology, and saying he would walk from the meeting, straight over to the White House, to talk to the President about it. Teret certainly seemed to think he had been given the nod by Holder with the words: when the President speaks . listen closely, because the President will be saying things that you all said in the meeting Last September (2012), Teret received the Chairmans Circle of Commendation Award from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in recognition of his exceptional contributions to consumers in the United States by reducing deaths, preventing injuries and improving consumer product safety. Both Biden and Obama made their solemn speeches to the nation on the 15th of January. Part of the showmanship was to deliver each speech with the manner of a caring but authoritative father: the finale was a spectacle involving the President signing what the media had led us to believe were 23 executive orders on measures to control guns. However, journalists have begun to point out that Obama didnt pass any executive orders at all really, all he did was make his position on guns a tiny bit clearer and go on and on about the shootings and the children, and strengthen the meme of collective responsibility. As Meredith Drake, at breitbart.com, puts it: The President has found a winning formula to push through his extreme policy views: campaign, grow support, give the appearance of action and fund raise off pseudo-action. The President is now applying this campaign tactic to gun control, giving the appearance to America that he is taking action to protect children from madmen.. it appears that the President had his children-hugging press conference to announce action but then signed directives to his cabinet and asked them to report back in 30 days. Biden made his speech before Obama, repeating four times that we all have a moral responsibility to act to stop more massacres. There was no real substantiation for action other than the emotional effect of the shooting tragedies which have occurred. There was certainly no mention of implanting microchips, or remote disabling of guns. Two of the executive orders can be seen to relate to smart gun technology, without naming it as such: It is highly surprising that no direct reference was made to smart guns during the speeches given that day, given the massive movement now endorsing smart gun technology, and the support of key government officials. The President called for support from the nation, and from Congress, but without making it clear which specific actions he wanted them to support the line of reasoning got lost towards the end as he just kept referring to this and it. However, metaphors for safe gun technology (and mental health checks) were scattered throughout This repetition helps prime the mind to accept the proposals which look set to come soon. The overall theme is to suggest that anyone who rejects the proposals clearly doesnt care about the children; you have to show you care. The NRA-ILA website singles out four of Obamas executive orders as being the most potentially problematic; one of these is personalized firearms: Obama will direct Holder to issue a report designed to promote smart gun technologies that gun owners generally do not want, and that would raise the cost of firearms and potentially render them useless. I cannot find any other recent statements regarding smart guns by the NRA, other than a sentence published earlier this month, as one of various firearm facts, which says the NRA opposes smart guns which have expensive, unreliable features, such as grips that would read your fingerprints before the gun will fire. Obama also mentioned in his speech that he would make Minnesota U.S. Attorney B. Todd Jones the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as part of the 23-point gun control plan; this may be a controversial move, however, since, according to an article at breitbart.com: Jones was personally a part of the high-ranking Department of Justice unit that first met on October 26, 2009, to create the new DOJ policy that was used to justify gunwalking in Operation Fast and Furious. In Fast and Furious, the ATF walked roughly 2,000 firearms into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels. That means through straw purchasers the agency allowed sales to happen and didnt stop the guns from being trafficked, even though they had the legal authority to do so and were fully capable of doing so. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and hundreds of Mexican citizens-estimates put it around at least 300-were killed with these firearms. Two states have passed laws related to the regulation of personalized guns; New Jersey did this in 2002, when it brought in legislation mandating that within six months of personalized guns becoming easily available on the market, it would become illegal to transfer ownership of any gun which was not personalized, in any way. Maryland stipulates a report on the technology should be made annually, and the findings must be delivered to the Governor and the General Assembly. In Pennsylvania, several senators are trying to pass bills which seek not only to legislate on the sale of smart guns, but to enforce the forfeiture of dumb guns once personalized firearms are available; Senator Youngblood has introduced a bill (HB1282) which has been referred to committee on House Judiciary. It proposes, adding a chapter providing for a safety performance standard for the manufacture of handguns, for the forfeiture of certain handguns and for enforcement relating to a safety standard for handguns; imposing penalties; and conferring powers and imposing duties on the Pennsylvania State Police. The State Police are required to promulgate regulations prescribing a handgun safety performance standard, which must include: (1) A handgun shall be personalized so that it can only be fired when operated by that handguns authorized users; (2) The technology establishing personalized handguns shall be incorporated into the design of a handgun and be part of its original equipment; and (3) No personalized handgun may be manufactured to permit the personalized characteristics to be readily deactivated. Teret, meanwhile, has been working on smart gun legislation from a different angle; he believes guns should be regulated under the In May 2000, he co-authored, A Model Handgun Safety Standard Act for the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research. In law, products which are manufactured and sold to the public are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). A manufacturer who sells goods which fall below the expected safety standard can be prosecuted; each company has a duty of care to avoid committing the tort of negligence. Basically, manufacturers must take reasonable care to ensure their product is made according to safety standards; if they dont, they are liable to be sued. Guns and ammunition are exempt from the jurisdiction of the CPSC, but Teret, and many others, believe this law should be overhauled, and the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which gives gun dealers and manufacturers protection from tort liability, should be repealed. This was discussed in article at the Daily Kos: Under standard product liability law, manufacturers are liable for defect in the design and construction of their products. Tort liability provides a powerful means by which concerned individuals or groups can gain leverage against much wealthier business interests. It is not necessary to win a suit to achieve a change in corporate business and behavior. Often, the threat of lawsuits alone provide a powerful financial incentive to an industry to make its products safer, and reduce the risks associated with the use of their products. Additionally, the liability process can force manufacturers to release internal documents regarding the known risks associated with product use as occurred with dramatic effect with suits brought against the tobacco industry. The liability process can also create poor publicity for an industry or manufacturer. In broadly restricting civil suits against the gun industry, the federal government took away a potent tool by which consumers can lobby for their safety and well-being. If it could be shown that smart guns were safer than dumb guns, then litigation against gun makers for their failure to provide technologically feasible, inexpensive safety devices, would force them all to fit the devices to the guns, because not fitting them would be classed as negligent. One of the ways personalized weapons are said to be safer is because they could prevent someone firing a gun that did not belong to them. Teret and Vernick, et al., have conducted studies which they claim to prove smart guns could prevent many unintentional deaths. If a safer alternative is available, but is not incorporated into the product, the manufacturers can be held liable in cases where a smart gun could be argued to have prevented a crime or a tragedy (such as a child firing his parents gun). The issue is largely a question of foreseeability whether or not it would have been possible to anticipate such unintended use of the product. This ties in with how the gun is stored. There are said to be three distinct risks of negligent firearm storage: accidental shootings, adolescent suicides and the criminal misuse of stolen guns. Teret began his speech at the gun policy summit with the highly emotive story of a four year old child shooting his baby brother in the head while he slept in his crib. Teret notes such an incident can be classed as foreseeable; changing the design of the gun, he says, would prevent it from happening. This would then be regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Moves in this direction have also come from Representative Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California, who last week announced legislation he would like to see enacted: the Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act would ensure that the victims of gun violence are allowed to have their day in court and that the gun industry is not shielded from liability when it acts with negligence and disregard for public safety. In an interview at TheAtlantic.com, Schiff said, I have discussed this and other priorities with the House Task Force on Gun Violence, led by Rep. Mike Thompson and submitted this proposal to the Vice Presidents working group. My legislation is just one piece of the larger conversation were having on how to reduce gun violence in this country, but it is an important piece and I look forward to gathering support and moving forward. Weve already had a great response from Members and outside groups, like the Brady Campaign and the American Bar Association, who are interested in this issue. According to the 2008 report, Regulating Guns in America, by the Legal Community Against Violence, locking devices can be any device which prevents a gun being fired by the wrong user, and can be either external to the gun, such as a gun safe, or integrated into the design, such as a personalized trigger lock. The report notes, Locking devices themselves, however, are not exempt, and therefore the CSPC has the ability to adopt national safety standards for locking devices. Conclusion But the proposals to bring in technology such as that offered by TriggerSmart are only one of many applications involving implants. I have written about these applications in some of my previous articles. The key issue is identification needed for smart guns, online commerce, health services, and payment systems. All of which could lead to microchip implants. (watch from 6:25 to 22:45 for info on NASAs BIO-MEMS) Even the problem with battery life has been resolved: NASA has developed an RF Telemetry implantable biomicroelectromechanical system, known as bio-MEMS, which can both transmit and receive data, via a miniature inductor/antenna; the bio-MEMS are electromagnetically coupled with a remote powering/receiving device, so they dont need batteries, as they are charged when they are being used. Journalists have begun to report on a new portable device for police officers which scans people for concealed weapons. The device . is small enough to be placed in a police vehicle or stationed at a street corner as a way of searching for illegal firearms. The NYPD is about to begin testing the device, which reads terahertz radiation the natural energy emitted by people and inanimate objects and allows police to view concealed weapons from a distance. Theres even a start up challenge for someone to develop a 3D-printable smart gun! Notes: The ONE Group has made a Private Equity Offering: TriggerSmart installed in a GSG5 viable, patented, RFID based childproof semi-automatic rimfire rifle. Can only be used with the associated RFID ring, allowing parents, officials and others reassurance that only they can use their weapon. As featured in the New York Times and Fox News.

3	11 Facts That Show That Europe Is Heading Into An Economic DepressionMichael Snyder, Contributor 1. The economies of 17 out of the 27 countries in the EU have contracted for at least two consecutive quarters. 2. Unemployment in the eurozone has hit a brand new all-time record high of 11.7 percent. 3. The unemployment rate in Portugal is now up to 16.3 percent. A year ago it was just 13.7 percent. 4. The unemployment rate in Greece is now up to 25.4 percent. A year ago it was just 18.4 percent. 5. The unemployment rate in Spain has hit a brand new all-time record high of 26.2 percent. How much higher can it possibly go? This is already higher than the unemployment rate than the United States ever reached during the Great Depression of the 1930s. 6. Youth unemployment levels in both Greece and Spain are rapidly approaching the 60 percent level. 7. Earlier this month, Moodys stripped France of its AAA credit rating, and wealthy individuals are leaving France in droves as the socialists implement plans to raise taxes to very high levels on the rich. 8. Industrial production is collapsing all over Europe. Just check out these numbers You dont have to be an economic genius to understand that the perpetual uncertainty over the Eurozones future has led to a widespread freeze on industrial investment and development. Industrial production is collapsing at an accelerating rate, falling 7% year-on-year in Spain and Greece, 4.8% in Italy, and 2.1% in France. 9. There are even trouble signs in the stable economies in Europe. In Germany, factory orders in September were down 3.3 percent from the month before, and retail sales in October declined 2.8 percent from the previous month. 10. The debt of the Greek government is now projected to hit 189 percent of GDP by the end of this year. 11. The Greek economy has shrunk by more than 7 percent this year, and it is being projected that the Greek economy will contract by another 4.5 percent in 2013. But sometimes you cant really get a feel for how bad things really are over there just from the raw economic numbers. Many people that are living through these depression-like conditions are totally giving in to despair. Just check out the following example from an RT article from earlier this year A 61-year-old Greek pensioner has hung himself from a tree in a public park after succumbing to the pressure of crushing debt. A note in his pocket indicates he is merely the latest in a rash of economic crisis-induced suicides. The pensioners lifeless body was found dangling by an attendant in a public park not far from his home in the suburb of Nikaia, Athens. The attendant also found a suicide note in the mans pocket, The Athens news reports. The man, identifying himself as Alexandros, said he was a man of few vices who worked all day. However, he blamed himself from committing one horrendous crime: becoming a professional at the age of 40 and plunging himself into debt. He referred to himself as a 61-year-old idiot who had to pay, hoping his grandchildren would not be born in Greece, as the countrys prospects were so bleak. This is one reason why I try so hard to encourage people to prepare for what is coming. There is hope in understanding what is coming and there is hope in getting prepared. You dont want to end up getting blindsided by the coming crisis and end up sitting on a park bench trying to figure out if life is still worth living or not. Life is most definitely worth living. Yes, a storm is coming and the world is going to become incredibly unstable in more ways than one. But if you understand what is coming and you work hard to prepare, then you and your family will have a chance to thrive even in the midst of the storm. Please learn from what is happening over in Europe. The economic horror show that is unfolding over there is going to come to America too, and time is running out.

2	Obama Says Speaking English Is Discriminatory... But Heres The Worst Part According to reports from Judicial Watch, the Obama administration is cracking down on what theyre referring to as national origin discriminationor, in laymans terms, requiring employees to speak English. New guidelines have been introduced to prevent employers from requiring their employees to speak English on the job, arguing that doing so violates the Civil Rights Act. As Judicial Watch notes, requiring employees in the United States to speak a foreign language is not discriminatory but forcing them to speak English violates federal law under a sweeping order issued by the Obama administration. The new enforcement guidelines detail that bilingual requirements dont meet discrimination claims, but English-only rules do because they are restrictive. The administration claims that new rules were introduced because the American workforce is increasingly ethnically diverse. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) made the rules public a few days ago. This enforcement guidance will assist EEOC staff in their investigation of national origin discrimination charges and provide information for applicants, employees, and employers to understand their respective rights and responsibilities under Title VII, the document states. The new rules are no longer about making sure employers dont turn away qualified applications, but have been expanded to include rules for the workplaceaffecting communication between employees and clients. This is just one of many efforts under Obama to strong-arm private businesses and government agencies by forcing them to take on hefty legal battles if they disagree. Last fiscal year alone, the EEOC celebrated getting a record $525 million in settlements for victims of discrimination in both private and public sector jobs, Judicial Watch notes. One of the more famous cases involved a woman who sued a company for religious discrimination because it wouldnt allow her to wear a hijab to work. What do you think? Are the rights of employers at risk here? Is it completely justified for American companies ask employees to speak English?

1	Laying out several new initiatives and detailed plans for implementing them in the upcoming weeks and months, Janneson Media CEO Adam Hamlin revealed to his staffers Thursday that he has some really big ideas for growing the companys problems, sources reported. I was initially skeptical of any aggressive growth strategy given the current size of our companys problems, but after hearing Adam outline his proposals, Im now completely confident that we can double the size of our problems over the next quarter, said Janneson employee Wendy Lyman, noting that the CEOs plan included changes that would create more issues across every department and significantly increase the number of difficulties and setbacks by the end of the year. He certainly doesnt have a traditional approach, but you cant expect the kind of rapid, eye-catching deterioration of a companys image and market value without taking a few risks along the way. Its impressive to see someone with the ambition to maintain old problems the company already had while still finding a way to produce new complications. Hes really thinking big. Lyman added that she was astonished by the CEOs vow to dramatically expand problems without sacrificing employees terrible work-life balance.

In the past few months, weve seen numerous attacks throughout the world in the name of Allahand the threats keep coming. Now, according to new reports, the FBI has just launched an investigation into a Muslim man who released videos online threatening Donald Trump with a knife. In a series of videos, the man rants about Trumps proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the country. As the mans tensions rise in the video, his weapons escalate, and he eventually goes from a knife to a loaded gun. Watch the videos below and tell us what you think.

2	Armed Thugs Hold Storeowner At Gunpoint, But Then Concealed Carrier Customer Does THIS [VIDEO] Two armed thugs thought they could get away with robbing a defenseless barber. They werent expecting one of the customers to be armed. Several people, including children, were reportedly inside the shop at the time of the robbery. The suspects were filmed on surveillance video. The suspects allegedly told several customers and barbers to get on the floor. Others were forced to stay in their chairs with their hands up. When the suspects turned their backs, one of the men getting his hair cut reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun. Columbia police said two of the victims were concealed carry permit holders and were waiting for the moment to strike. The men shot at both suspects, hitting one of the men, who collapsed outside the business. He was pronounced dead after being taken to a nearby hospital. Authorities said they are not sure if the second suspect suffered any injuries because he was able to escape from the scene. None of the customers were hurt.

1	According to a study released Wednesday by the Center for Media and Social Research, 25-foot-tall Asian women are still vastly underrepresented in the nations mainstream media. When Americans turn on the television or pick up a fashion magazine, theyre simply seeing very few, if any, depictions of 25-foot-tall Asian women, said lead researcher Jessica Harris, who added that despite visibly towering above almost every major region in the country, 25-foot-tall Asian women remain notably absent from all but 1 percent of the films, newspaper articles, and novels surveyed. Even in the rare cases in which 25-foot-tall Asian women are portrayed in the media, our study found them in stereotypical roles such as cleaning homes, performing secretarial duties, terrorizing the Eastern Seaboard, or raising children. Harris went on to condemn the need for trailblazing 25-foot-tall Asian women like Lucy Liu to hide their heights with trick photography. 
2	Ivanka Trump Is Being Attacked By Liberals After She Suffers THIS Humiliating Wardrobe Malfunction Following Donald Trumps campaign announcement, the entire Trump family has come under fire. Just last week, we reported that Donalds daughter Ivanka was being attacked on her instagram account by cyber bullies. Now, shes facing even more criticism from the liberal mediathis time for something as trivial as an outfit she wore. 33-year-old Ivanka has always been interested in the world of fashion, and even has a very own line of clothing and accessories. So now, its no surprise that she looked great at the opening ceremony of The Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in New York. Ivanka has credited both golf and yoga for helping her to stay in great shape, and she looked picture-perfect in her stylish dress at the event. Some, however, criticized her for not being dressed for the occasion. Still, were impressed by Ivanka, and we wouldnt mind seeing her in the White House. The busy mother even managed to train for a marathon by running early in the morning. I try not to beat myself up when it just doesnt happen, she told reporters. Its more motivating to stay positive. What do you think? Do you support Ivanka and the Trump family? 
2	Obama Hunts Down, Threatens Veteran After He Posted THIS Picture Mark Paffrath a Navy veteran never thought his life would change drastically after witnessing something in Ferguson, MO that the government clearly did not want him to see. What started as a normal work shift at the Drury Hotel for Paffrath soon turned into a bizarre chain of events. As he observed dozens of Homeland Security cars pull up and park at the hotels parking garage. Mark proceeded to take photos and a short video of the odd sighting posting it on social media with the caption Why are all these vehicles here, I wonder if it has anything to do with Ferguson? #Ferguson, #No justice, no peace. Mark Paffrath never specified the whereabouts of the cars in his Facebook post as stated above. Nowhere in his caption did it mention the hotels name or location. So why is the Obama administration branding Mark a terrorist.? The Chesterfield Drury Plaza Hotel where the vehicles were parked is located about a half an hour away from Ferguson. Unknowingly Mark got himself into something much bigger that day by posting those photos and short video. Shortly after Paffrath was contacted by his boss who demanded he delete all the pictures and video from his Facebook account, which of course Mark immediately complied and continued yet another work day. Unfortunately the following day the hotel decided to fire him. Paffrath told the press the following The head of security for Drury was in there, and he pretty much called me a terrorist, saying that I dishonorably served my country for posting those pictures and videos on Facebook, they never once mentioned the fact he was a Navy veteran. The hotel security also let Mark know he had jeopardized the hotels $150,000 contract they currently had with the department of Homeland Security. If you repost the photos and video you will have the federal government knocking on your door and you will be incarcerated. Was the last horrifying sentence security told Paffrath before leaving. 
3	Seeking Total Security Leads to an Orwellian Surveillance StateRon Paul Predictably, the political left responded to the tragedy with emotional calls for increased gun control. This is understandable, but misguided. The impulse to have government do something to protect us in the wake national tragedies is reflexive and often well intentioned. Many Americans believe that if we simply pass the right laws, future horrors like the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting can be prevented. But this impulse ignores the self evident truth that criminals dont obey laws. The political right, unfortunately, has fallen into the same trap in its calls for quick legislative solutions to gun violence. If only we put armed police or armed teachers in schools, were told, would-be school shooters will be dissuaded or stopped. While I certainly agree that more guns equals less crime and that private gun ownership prevents many shootings, I dont agree that conservatives and libertarians should view government legislation, especially at the federal level, as the solution to violence. Real change can happen only when we commit ourselves to rebuilding civil society in America, meaning a society based on family, religion, civic and social institutions, and peaceful cooperation through markets. We cannot reverse decades of moral and intellectual decline by snapping our fingers and passing laws. Obviously I dont want to conflate complex issues of foreign policy and war with the Sandy Hook shooting, but it is important to make the broader point that our federal government has zero moral authority to legislate against violence. Furthermore, do we really want to live in a world of police checkpoints, surveillance cameras, metal detectors, X-ray scanners, and warrantless physical searches? We see this culture in our airports: witness the shabby spectacle of once proud, happy Americans shuffling through long lines while uniformed TSA agents bark orders. This is the world of government provided security, a world far too many Americans now seem to accept or even endorse. School shootings, no matter how horrific, do not justify creating an Orwellian surveillance state in America. Do we really believe government can provide total security? Do we want to involuntarily commit every disaffected, disturbed, or alienated person who fantasizes about violence? Or can we accept that liberty is more important than the illusion of state-provided security? Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens lives. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

2	Ambassador Exposes Obamas DISGUSTING Plan For After The Election, You Will THROW UP Why in Gods name is President Barack Hussein Obama still letting so many Muslim refugees into America? Doesnt he realize that Radical Islam is at war with the Christian West? They are using our extraordinarily lax immigration system to slip ISIS operatives into our country, posing as refugees. This is obvious to everyone with half a brain. Does Obama not realize this? Or is he actively trying to help them, since he himself comes from a Muslim family? Whose side is Obama on? There have been over a dozen ISIS related terror attacks in the United States in the past couple years. Any sensible leader would halt all further Muslim immigration into the U.S. until we can figure out what is going on with Radical Islam, or at least slow things down to an absolute minimum. Instead, Obamas plan for the next year is to speed up Muslim immigration into our country. Obama is planning on legally taking in 30,000 refugees over the next two years. Said United States Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power: Not only are we scaling up our resettlement efforts to admit 15,000 additional refugees this year, but we will scale up by 15,000 more next year to admit 100,000 refugees overall. How many of these will be terrorists in hiding? Will we have to learn the hard way? Why doesnt Obama care about protecting Americans? 
3	Creepy CDC Video Promotes HPV Vaccine to ALL ChildrenJeffrey Green To promote HPV vaccinations the CDC produced a commercial called Close the Door to Cancer which uses creepy subliminal tactics. Over-sinister music and a smoke monster climbing on walls, the CDC lists HPV statistics aimed to scare the public toward the vaccine. Did you notice the music and background shift from menacing to bright-and-sunny when the solution is offered? The subliminals arent even subtle. Whats more, the statistics actually show that an incredibly small amount of people are affected to warrant such a drastic vaccination campaign. According to the claims in the CDC video 14 million Americans get HPV, or about 4.5 percent of the entire population. Apparently that means its common to the CDC. Of those 14 million, 26 thousand may get an HPV-related cancer. So, quick math, thats only about .185 percent of the HPV population, or .008 percent of the overall population. Even with these minuscule odds, the CDC refers to them as common and recommends all children be vaccinated for HPV to close the door to cancer. This CDC video seems more like a commercial sponsored by Gardasil, mimicking their website: Also of note, the YouTube video has very curious statistics: nearly 1 million views with only 65 likes and 45 dislikes, and four comments? This appears to be manipulated activity. Recently from Jeffrey Green: 
3	IARPAs Great Horned Owl Program: collecting intelligence without anyone knowing you are thereMadison Ruppert, Contributor For those who are not aware, there have been recent technological leaps of a significant magnitude in the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), better known as drone, research and development. One problemwhich IARPA seems to be focused on tackling is the sound created by most drone systems which can make effective surveillance quite difficult. In IARPAs Proposers Day Overview Briefing in 2011, they stated that they seek to enter an area of interest without anyone knowing you are there and thus need to develop the technology that enables a new class of UAVs. This is all part of IARPAs Great Horned Owl (GHO) Program which began in 2011. The GHO program was created in order to reduce the ability of the target to counter [surveillance] by creating, Better, more efficient, quiet power sources and propulsion techniques [in order] to engineer the next generation UAVs for ISR [Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance] mission applications. According to Aviation Week, a small firm called D-Star Engineering has apparently received the first contract awarded as part of GHO for a whopping $4.8 million. Keep in mind, GHO is a multi-phase program, with Phase 1 focusing on reducing the noise created by the propulsion units and power sources of drones, known as the acoustic signature. Phase 2, which is completely separate from Phase 1 and thus the $4.8 million award, is going to focus on actually building the technology into a working flight vehicle. The technique IARPA is leaning towards is quite interesting. Instead of using battery-powered drones, which, while quiet, have little in terms of endurance or payload hauling capability, GHO is focusing on hybrid turbine-electric propulsion systems. These systems run on everyday fuel like gasoline and diesel, but instead of a simple combustion motor (which would be just as noisy as the rest) they are trying to turn the fuel into electricity and then turn that electricity into thrust for the vehicle. Then, if they choose to add batteries, the drone could fly in ultra-quiet mode for a short period of time. When the batteries run out, the engine would start up again in order to power the flight and recharge the batteries. This ultra-quiet mode likely wouldnt last all too long, with current estimates around 30 minutes. However, that is enough to snap a few images of a target for facial recognition purposes, run a threat assessment and/or some other brief task. It is plenty of time for a drone to get in and get out without getting noticed, but for now we thankfully likely wont see any silent drones hovering outside of our open windows all day long. Then again, if they can devise a laser system like that demonstrated recently, they could very well extend the flight time of these drones indefinitely as well. The initial goal of the project is to keep the sound under what is known as the 60 phon curve, phon being a unit of the level of loudness for pure tones. Phon, unlike the decibel unit, compensates for the effect of frequency on the perceived loudness of tones, making it a better representation of what humans actually hear. Keeping the sound levels below the 60 phon curve means, essentially, that no sound can exceed the sound pressure level of 100 decibels at any frequency up to 100 kHz. IARPA will be testing the propulsion systems while they are not installed from 10 meters away over 15 minutes in a frequency range of 10 Hz to 15 kHz. Interestingly, this isnt the first time aircraft inspired by owls has been proposed. Indeed, Wireds Danger Room points out that NASA also explored using the feathers of owls as inspiration for designs. One positive aspect of this setting aside the fact that the government continues to spend money which we dont have, continuously acting as if we actually do have money is that we likely wont see any owl-like drones flying around this year.

2	Welfare Recipients In THIS State Just Got Devastating News... The Party Is Over For some odd reason, liberals insist that the government should be financially responsible for the well-being of individuals receiving benefitseven if they are entirely capable of going out and supporting themselves or being willfully irresponsible. Now, North Carolina has made it a requirement for welfare applicants to take a drug screening test in order to qualify. The results of this measure were eye-opening. About a quarter of applicants tested positive for drug use, and 21 of the 89 individuals tested will no longer receive benefits. Those that did test positive will also be required to pay back the $55 testing fee. Its no wonder, then, that 70 applicants who were slated to take the drug test never even showed up. This testing is part of a wider program called the Works First program, designed to help low-income families access paying jobs. Receiving government benefits should definitely be predicated on ones ability to work. This program ensures that states require every childless and able-bodied individual will work for their benefitseven if its only for a few hours a week at a state or municipal job site. What do you think of this solution? 
3	The Stock Markets Of The 10 Largest Global Economies Are All CrashingBy Michael Snyder Right now, stock market wealth is being wiped out all over the planet, and none of the largest global economies have been exempt from this. The following is a summary of what we have seen in recent days #1 The United States The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down more than 2000 points since the peak of the market. Last month we saw stocks decline by more than 500 points on consecutive trading days for the first time ever, and there has not been this much turmoil in U.S. markets since the fall of 2008. #2 China The Shanghai Composite Index has plummeted nearly 40 percent since hitting a peak earlier this year. The Chinese economy is steadily slowing down, and we just learned that Chinas manufacturing index has hit a 78-month low. #3 Japan The Nikkei has experienced extremely violent moves recently, and it is now down more than 3000 points from the peak that was hit earlier in 2015. The Japanese economy and the Japanese financial system are both basket cases at this point, and it isnt going to take much to push Japan into a full-blown financial collapse. #4 Germany Almost one-fourth of the value of German stocks has already been wiped out, and this crash threatens to get much worse. The Volkswagen emissions scandal is making headlines all over the globe, and dont forget to watch for massive trouble at Germanys biggest bank. #5 The United Kingdom British stocks are down about 16 percent from the peak of the market, and the UK economy is definitely on shaky ground. #6 France French stocks have declined nearly 18 percent, and it has become exceedingly apparent that France is on the exact same path that Greece has already gone down. #7 Brazil Brazil is the epicenter of the South American financial crisis of 2015. Stocks in Brazil have plunged more than 12,000 points since the peak, and the nation has already officially entered a new recession. #8 Italy Watch Italy. Italian stocks are already down 15 percent, and look for the Italian economy to make very big headlines in the months ahead. #9 India Stocks in India have now dropped close to 4000 points, and analysts are deeply concerned about this major exporting nation as global trade continues to contract. #10 Russia Even though the price of oil has crashed, Russia is actually doing better than almost everyone else on this list. Russian stocks have fallen by about 10 percent so far, and if the price of oil stays this low the Russian financial system will continue to suffer. What we are witnessing now is the continuation of a cycle of financial downturns that has happened every seven years. The following is a summary of how this cycle has played outover the past 50 years A lot of people were expecting something big to happen on September 14th and were disappointed when nothing happened. But the truth is that it has never been about looking at any one particular day. Over the past sixty days we have seen absolutely extraordinary things happen all over the planet, and yet some people are not even paying attention because they did not meet their preconceived notions of how events should play out. And this is just the beginning. We havent even gotten tothe great derivatives crisis that is coming yet. All of these things are going to take time to fully unfold. A lot of people that write about economic collapse talk about it like it will be some type of event that will happen on a day or a week and then we will recover. Well, that is not what it is going to be like. You need to be ready to endure a very, very long crisis. The suffering that is coming to this nation is beyond what most of us could even imagine. Even now we are seeing early signs of it. For instance, the mayor of Los Angeles says that the growth of homelessness in his city has gotten so bad that it is now an emergency On Tuesday, Los Angeles officials announced the citys homelessness problem has become an emergency, and proposed allotting $100 million to help shelter the citys massive and growing indigent population. LA Mayor Eric Garcetti also issued a directive on Monday evening for the city to free up $13 million to help house the estimated 26,000 people who are living on the citys streets. According to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the number of encampments and people living in vehicles has increased by 85% over the last two years alone. And in recent years we have seen poverty absolutely explode all over the nation. The bread lines of the Great Depression have been replaced with EBT cards, and there is a possibility that a government shutdown in October couldsuspend or delay food stamp payments A government shutdown Oct. 1 could immediately suspend or delay food stamp payments to some of the 46 million Americans who receive the food aid. The Agriculture Department said Tuesday that it will stop providing benefits at the beginning of October if Congress does not pass legislation to keep government agencies open. If Congress does not act to avert a lapse in appropriations, then USDA will not have the funding necessary for SNAP benefits in October and will be forced to stop providing benefits within the first several days of October, said Catherine Cochran, a spokeswoman for USDA. Once that occurs, families wont be able to use these benefits at grocery stores to buy the food their families need. In the U.S. alone, there are tens of millions of people that could not survive without the help of the federal government, and more people are falling out of the middle class every single day. Our economy is already falling apart all around us, and now another great financial crisis has begun. When will the nothing is happening crowd finally wake up? Hopefully it will be before they are sitting out on the street begging for spare change to feed their family.

2	Obama Makes SICKENING Threat That Will Reshape American Society As We Know It [VIDEO] President Obama just infuriated some Americans by expressing his support of legalizing marijuana. When asked about where he stands on the issue, he gave the following response. It does not make sense from a prioritization point of view for us to focus on recreational drug users in a state that has already said that under state law thats legal, Obama concluded. It makes sense that marijuana use wouldnt be a priority for the President, given that he was a drug user in his past. What do you think? Is Obama a terrible example for our children? Watch the video below and tell us your thoughts. 
1	Frustrated with what they describe as unreasonable working conditions, a local clan of carpenter ants went on strike Tuesday to demand that their workday be reduced to 23 hours and 54 minutes. All we ask is a mere six minutes off each day, so that we might rest and replenish ourselves with nutrient paste, said ant spokesman HR-23200165-8608. Is that so unreasonable? Sources within the ant clan have suggested that the workers are willing to compromise, and would likely accept a 167.65-hour work week. If the strike persists for another three seconds, the queen of the clan has threatened to dispatch her legion of hunter-seeker warrior-class drones to devour the 18,000 ants participating in the strike. 
3	Proof It Is Rigged: Fed Moved 93% of Entire Stock Market Since 2008By Mac Slavo Monetary policy has been the single most important factor in the economy for some time. A new analysis from economist Brian Barnier shows that while future GDP, household debt from credit cards and tech accounted for past bubbles in American history, the bubble that has risen since Obama became president is due to one and only one factor: the Federal Reserve. And the private banking cartel which masquerades as a public government institution has become plenty controversial for its ties to elite hidden agendas and its debasement of the economy. However, few Americans realize just how huge and detrimental this institution has become. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed, then chaired by Ben Bernanke, began an unprecedented quantitative easing (QE) program that literally changed everything. During the last eight years, monetary policy has completely upended the economy, and concentrated wealth into fewer and fewer hands, while making it more and more difficult for ordinary people to stay afloat. This intervention has gone way, way too far and has driven up a particularly unstable bubble that is ready to burst. Through QE and bond purchases, the Fed managed to double the SP 500 value, while more than doubling its own balance sheet in the process. Yahoo! Finance reported: The factors behind that and previous bubbles can be illuminated using simple visual analysis of a chart. The SP 500 (^GSPC) doubled in value from November 2008 to October 2014, coinciding with the Federal Reserve Banks quantitative easing asset purchasing program. After three rounds of QE, where the Fed poured billions of dollars into the bond market monthly, the Feds balance sheet went from $2.1 trillion to $4.5 trillion. This isnt just a spurious correlation, according to economist Brian Barnier, principal at ValueBridge Advisors and founder of FedDashboard.com. Whats more, he says previous bull runs in the market lasting several years can also be explained by single factors each time. As the financial crisis reached a fevered pitch in 2008, the Federal Reserve took to flooding the financial market with dollars by buying up bonds. Simultaneously, interest rates fell dramatically, as bond yields move in the opposite direction of bond prices. Barnier sees the Fed as responsible for over 93% of the market from the start of QE until today. During the first half of 2013, the Fed caused the entire markets growth, he said. Barnier, who compiled this data analysis, dubbed this the Era of the Fed as this ill-reputed institution has been more responsible than any other factor (including the 2008 financial crisis) for how bad the economy has gotten for average Americans, college-graduates seeking careers and small businesses. The above chart is simplified from others before it to show that the Fed was the single most important factor during the last era overlapping Obamas presidency and that a staggering 93% of the economy has been dictated by the Federal Reserve. See the Yahoo! article for more data and charts. As many analysts have discussed before, this unprecedented intervention has distorted and warped the American experience. Savers, pensioners and investors have all take harsh blows as the interest rate has been held at zero and even dipped into negative forcing some customers to pay for deposits and others to take a haircut on their life savings and retirement packages!

By Constitution, the Federal Reserve should never existed. It is only a cartel of bankers. FYI. QE stands for Queen Elizabeth. Her vizier Rothschild owns the FRBNY. Think about it. I prefer to look at the bright sideforces other than the Fed moved the market 7%! Lets strive for 8% you slacker Americans!!! U-S-A! U-S-A! The FED owns it all.

Well he did have it printed and they murdered him Craft is king, they are not selling anything but interest, and they know its just a matter of time until we figure that out. Triple everyones wages , pay off our debt.

You all are trying hard to annihilate the worldbut what happens when the people in happy land begin to wake up and realizeits themor youand they are the footand you are the ant How is that going to work?

2	Sylvester Stallone Supports Donald Trump Sylvester Stallone is one of the more recent Hollywood stars to speak out in support of Donald Trumpand in his liberal-infused business, that could mean career suicide. Stallone has been called a Republican in the past, given that he supported John McCains 2008 campaign for president. Still, Stallone insists that he is not a member f the GOP. May the best fighter win, he told reporters. I dont think you can be totally one-sided forever. Then you close your mind to all sorts of possibilities. Its just, Who comes along better at that time for what the planet it going through? Right now, its pretty confusing on every side. Still, Stallone was not shy in expressing his support for the Republican frontrunner. I love Donald Trump, Stallone claimed, unapologetically. Hes a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean? There are certain people like Arnold, Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life. But I dont know how that translatesto running the world. What do you think? Do you agree with Stallone? 
2	Halloween Is Being Stripped From Your Children Because Its Offensive According to recent reports, Halloween has just been banned from schools in Milford, Connecticut. Why? They town doesnt want to offend children who dont celebrate the holiday. A letter was sent home to parents in the district, claiming that this years Halloween parades have been called off due to numerous incidents of children being excluded from activities due to religion, cultural beliefs, etc. But it doesnt stop there. Students will no longer be able to wear their costumes to class, all Halloween-related activities have been stripped from the curriculum, and there will be no candy handed out. Milford Public Schools do have many children from diverse beliefs, cultures and religions, Jim Richetelli, chief operations officer for Milford schools told reporters. The goal is for all children to feel comfortable and definitely not alienated when they come to school. Of course, one can conclude that this has something to do with Halloween being discouraged by Islam, and the fact that that Muslim children cannot dress up in costumes. What do you think? Is this absolutely ridiculous? 
3	Pre-Crime Police Target Mental Healthselfnews Post Its becoming a trend that is taking various forms. In Chicago, a Heat List has gone into effect that has indexed approximately 400 people who have been identified by a computer algorithm as being future threats to commit violent crime. Without having actually committed a crime, some of those on the list are beginning to get visits from Chicago police warning them that they are already being watched. In California, a sociologist at the University of California, Riverside has been working with the Indio Police Department to offer a computer dragnet that can predict where burglaries are going to happen in the future. Prof. Robert Nash Parker has developed a computer model that predicts, by census block group, where burglaries are likely to occur. Notably, Indio only has a population of 75,000, indicating that populations large and small are increasingly being subsumed into the emerging Minority Report world of modern policing. I suffer from depression and anxiety. I have never attacked a person in my life(have had bottles, trash, food thrown at me, been threatened including murder many times and police never did a thing about it.) I am also bi-sexual. I was recently set up and nearly jailed by police(in part because I disagreed with people who belong to a certain religion about their faith.) when I was walking home after buying a pack of smokes. They laughed at me, insulted me, pretended they were FBI agents(against the law, have an uncle who is a retired FBI agent) searched me, repeatedly asked me where I was coming from, what I was doing, was told If you dont like it around here go to Canada. . Tried to bait me into doing or saying something that would justify arresting me. Numerous times I have been stopped by police though I am a non-violent, completely law-abiding person. No one outside of my family has ever had a problem with it. Im sure my computer activity was being monitored. The police are strictly a menacing money making business of criminals and other cops who are largely co-conspirators to criminal cop activity. Every time Im outside by myself I fear for both my freedom and my life. Will this ever stop? 
2	RiteAid Takes Massive Stand Against Islam, But Then Something Terrible Happens According to recent reports, a Muslim woman named Khadijah Al-Amin has filed a discrimination claim against Rite Aid Corp. after she claims that wearing her Islamic head covering led to her being fired. The complaint was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by attorneys James A. Bell and Christopher A. Macey, Jr. The document claims that Al-Amin was fired in retaliation for speaking out about the treatment she had been receiving by management. Al-Amin was first hired in 2006 as a salaried manager. In 2007, she was promised to be moved laterally, but she lost several of her benefits in the process. During the course of her employment, Ms. Al-Amin became aware of an atmosphere of discrimination against Muslim employees that was leading to or causing the actions complained of above, the lawsuit claims. The lawsuit names Rodney Bryant as the defendant in the case. Bryant was Al-Amins supervisor, who reportedly referred to her head covering as a do-rag and told her that she was not projecting the right image to customers. Another defendant in the suit is Cynthia Whitman, to whom Al-Amin complained about Bryants actions. The lawsuit filed claims that harassment, discrimination and retaliation reached its zenith when Al-Amin was told that she would have to accept a demotion or be fired because there were no store manager positions available. Al-Amin seeks declaratory judgment, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorneys fees in her lawsuit. 
3	FCC: Google staff knew Street View cars were stealing private dataMadison Ruppert, Contributor This is just one of the many ways Big Brother Google has invaded our privacy and continues to do so on a daily basis. If youd like to know how to take steps to block these methods read this guide and this guide as well. Keep in mind, their egregious privacy breaches are only going to get worse as their new technology is implemented and they bring on the head of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and thus further emphasize their connections to government and the intelligence community. The $25,000 fine was only because For many months, Google deliberately impeded and delayed the [FCCs Enforcement] Bureau investigation by failing to respond to requests for material information and to provide certifications and verifications of its responses. Now it has emerged (see the document embedded here) that the FCC knew that Google was actually well aware of what their Street View cars were doing. The Google engineer told two colleagues that his Street View software could actually collect entire emails and URLs as well as passwords. Furthermore, Google provided evidence to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) showing that the data collected resulted from a deliberate software-design decision by one of the Google employees working on the Street View project. So much for the fragmented data they claimed they collected and their original statement, Quite simply, it was a mistake. In fact, the newly released document indicates that their early claim was the exact opposite of the truth. Indeed the FCC report indicates that five engineers were involved in implementing the code, but they were allegedly unaware of the fact that it could capture private data. However, I consider this case quite dubious as the engineer explicitly told this to two colleagues in 2007 and in 2008. Even more ludicrous is the fact that the anonymous engineer, referred to as Engineer Doe, recommended that Googles privacy lawyers review the program in October of 2006; a recommendation which they ignored. For more than two years, Googles Street View cars collected names, addresses, telephone numbers, URLs, passwords, email, text messages, medical records, video and audio files, and other information from internet users in the United States, said the report. Are we really to believe that somehow all of the statements from the engineer to his colleagues and all of the data being collected were somehow completely overlooked for over two years? Personally, I find such an assertion outright absurd. Yet, the document says that The record also shows that Googles supervision of the Wi-Fi data collection project was minimal indeed, it appears that no one at the company carefully reviewed the substance of Engineer Does software code or the design document. The problem here is that they say appears, something which cannot be proven or substantiated in the slightest. How would no one review the design after he specifically told people what it was capable of? One would assume that they would address such problems, that is if they cared about privacy at all. There is the possibility that they indeed were well aware of the capabilities and let it proceed anyway. In the end, the FCC somehow determined that Google did not break any laws in stealing private information from Americans, a decision which is hardly surprising given the connections that Google enjoys.

2	Analyst Observes Something VERY Off About Trump During Palins Speech, This Changes Everything... Tucker Carlson from Fox News and The Daily Caller just published an article focusing on Trump during his endorsement from Palin. Many were too focused on Palin to notice this nonverbal message. This is what Carson said about the speech: Im probably the only one thinking this, but Im not convinced that Sarah Palin is good for Trump at all. Shes not that impressive, she squandered this great political capital she had eight years ago and hasnt achieved anything since, and also she gives disjointed speeches. The whole point of Donald Trump is that he doesnt take endorsements or need them. He is running outside normal channels, he doesnt suck up, hes beholden to no one. And that is one of the reasons he looks so uncomfortable. Im sure Im only one who think this, he looks like a guy out of his element all of sudden. After watching the speech again, he does have some valid points. Palin has been receiving a lot of hate in the past couple of months, so this isnt completely out of the question. Do you think Trump wants Palin to have nothing to do with his campaign? 
2	State Passes Bill Banning The Sale Of The Confederate Flag According to a bill passed by Californias General Assembly this week, state government facilities will no longer be allowed to sell Confederate-related merchandise. The movement to end the sale of the Confederate Flag came when the mother of Assemblyman Isadore Hall saw a replica of Confederate currency being sold at the state Capitols gift shop. Its a symbol in history directly linked to the enslavement, torture, and murder of millions of Americans, Hall was quotes saying, The state of California should not be in the business of promoting hate towards others. Those opposed to the action claim that they are not defending the symbolism of the Confederate flag, but rather the principle of free speech. Lets not forget, also, that censoring history can be a very dangerous thing. What do you think? 
1	Rookie quarterback Andrew Luck helped the Colts outscore their opponents 23-20 on Sunday to earn his first whatever that thing is called when you beat the Minnesota Vikings. Its great that Andrew has his first one of those things you get for defeating the Vikings under his belt, said Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, who called Lucks achievement a victory-esque result. I mean, hes still waiting for his first win, but hes young. Just got to take it one step at a time. The important thing is that he went into the game and tried to get that, whatever it is. According to Pagano, Lucks performance was even more impressive the previous week, when the quarterback managed to lose by only 20 points while playing for the Indianapolis Colts. 
3	Monsantos Mass Super Weeds Force a Return to Sustainable FarmingAnthony Gucciardi Experts call upon farmers and government officials to return to traditional sustainable farming practices the kind without Monsantos Roundup herbicide. It was recently reported by the media (despite NaturalSociety and others reporting on this extensively back in 2011) that a fast-spreading plague of the super weeds is spreading and they will not be stopped easily. The super resistant weeds threaten not only independent family farmers and major agricultural businesses alike, but also the future of food production. Experts are now calling for a radical change in farming practices, with time-tested traditional methods being the ultimate goal. In addition, weed scientists seek to hold a summit or panel of sorts to address the issue in Washington. As a leading task force member who is working with the USDA on the issue stated, this is a byproduct of rampant biotechnology that must be remedied by returning to traditional norms. We dont have that next technology. We have to get back to the fundamentals, said top weed scientist David Shaw. Amazingly, resistant weeds currently cover over 4.5 million hectares (a hectare is about 2.4 acres) in the United States alone, though experts estimate the world-wide land coverage to have reached at least 120 million hectares by 2010. And the outcome of this hyper resistance, of course, is excessive use of further herbicides which still yields virtually no results. Just as with Monsantos other products, the USDA continues to wait until serious consequences are experienced before even considering action. Meanwhile, the agency is giving Monsanto special speedy approval to expedite their latest inventions into the marketplace with extreme haste.

1	Shaking his head as workers installed a fountain on his neighbors front lawn, business magnate Warren Buffett told reporters Wednesday that he cannot believe hes stuck living next to the latest recipient of a Powerball jackpot. Oh, what a treat, I get to be neighbors with some guy who walked into a gas station one day and asked a computer to pick six numbers, said the multibillionaire investor, closing his window to avoid hearing the electronic dance music blasting from the $600 million prize winners poolside speaker system. A Lamborghini, too? How original. I have no idea where this chump was living last week, but I give him one, two years tops before he blows it all and has to crawl back with his tail between his legs. At press time, the so-called Oracle of Omaha was instructing his personal assistant to politely decline his neighbors invitation to go bison hunting together from his new helicopter. 
2	Copy Cat Terrorists Imitate ISIS, Behead Innocent Man For Refusing To Pray To Islam A recent video has been making its way around the internet, depicting a masked terrorist describing a mans crimes before ordering and moving forward with his execution. The video opens with a man kneeling in front of a mob of armed terrorists. One of the leaders in the group forces the man to repeat there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah before starting to read to the camera his supposed illegal activity. A speaker is then heard announcing that the man is guilty of things like, not praying enough and drinking too much. Apparently, these are crimes punishable by execution. They also add that the man has done many other things but they do not elaborate on what those things are. The leader then orders the group to saying that the man should not be shot. Instead, an executioner comes into the room with a machete in his hand, and begins to put into action the orders that the leader shockingly announces. The man is left dead. What do you think? Have you had enough of executions like these? 
3	Unacceptable Levels: The Chemicals In Our Bodies; How They Got There and What To Do About Itselfnews Post Unacceptable Levels is a feature-length documentary which examines the results of the chemical revolution of the 1940s through the eyes of affable filmmaker Ed Brown, a father seeking to understand the world in which he and his wife are raising their children. To create this debut documentary, one man and his camera traveled extensively to find and interview top minds in the fields of science, advocacy, and law. Weaving their testimonies into a compelling narrative, Brown presents us with the story of how the chemical revolution brought us to where we are, and of where, if were not vigilant, it may take us. A diverse group of voices are offered, which should spur debate from many sectors of those who have become concerned about everything from pesticides to BPA to GMO to fluoride and any one of the other 80,000 synthetic chemicals known to have been released. Now the question is what do we do about it? The environmental movement and particularly the sustainable agenda is a minefield of controlled opposition, infiltrators and everything in between. First, all of us should become as informed as possible on all fronts so that we can properly tackle real solutions to a crisis that only continues to get worse as the fusion between government and corporate interests intensifies. As stated in the film, To be healthy requires an effort. This internationally acclaimed documentary is a step toward making that effort and reclaiming health. Please view the trailer below: 
3	The Big Dogs On Wall Street Are Starting To Get Very NervousMichael Snyder In aprevious article, I got very excited about a report that indicated that corporate insiders were selling nine times more of their own shares than they were buying. Well, according to a brand new Bloomberg article, insider sales of stock have outnumbered insider purchases of stock by a ratio of twelve to one over the past three months. That is highly unusual. And right now some of the most respected investors in the financial world are ringing the alarm bells. Dennis Gartman says that it is time to rush to the sidelines, Seth Klarman is warning about the un-abating risks of collapse, and Doug Kass is proclaiming that were headed for a sharp fall. So does all of this mean that a market crash is definitely on the way? No, but when you combine all of this with the weak economic data constantly coming out of the U.S. and Europe, it certainly does not paint a pretty picture. According to Bloomberg, it has been two years since we have seen insider sales of stock at this level. Corporate executives are taking advantage of near-record U.S. stock prices by selling shares in their companies at the fastest pace in two years. There were about 12 stock-sale announcements over the past three months for every purchase by insiders at Standard Poors 500 Index (SPX) companies, the highest ratio since January 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and Pavilion Global Markets. Whenever the ratio exceeded 11 in the past, the benchmark index declined 5.9 percent on average in the next six months, according to Pavilion, a Montreal-based trading firm. But it isnt just the number of stock sales that is alarming. Some of these insider transactions are absolutely huge. Just check out these numbers Among the biggest transactions last week were a $65.2 million sale by Google Inc.s 39-year-old Chief Executive Officer Larry Page, a $40.1 million disposal by News Corp.s 81- year-old Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch and a $34.2 million sale from American Express Co. chief Kenneth Chenault, who is 61. Nolan Archibald, the 69-year-old chairman of Stanley Black Decker Inc. who plans to leave his post next month, unloaded $29.7 million in shares last week and Amphenol Corp. Chairman Martin Hans Loeffler, 68, sold $27.5 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, 57, announced plans to sell as many as 3.2 million shares in the operator of the worlds most-popular search engine. The planned share sales, worth about $2.5 billion, represent about 42 percent of Schmidts holdings. So why are all of these very prominent executives cashing out all of a sudden? That is a very good question. Meanwhile, some of the most respected names on Wall Street are warning that it is time to get out of the market. For example, investor Dennis Gartman recently wrote that the game is changing and that it is time to rush to the sidelines When tectonic plates in the earths crust shift earthquakes happen and when the tectonic plants shift beneath our feet in the capital markets margin calls take place. The tectonic plates have shifted and attention very careful and very substantive attention must be paid. Simply put, the game has changed and where we were playing a game fueled by the monetary authorities and fueled by the urge on the part of participants to see and believe in rising animal spirits as Lord Keynes referred to them we played bullishly of equities and of the EUR and of risk assets. Now, with the game changing, our tools have to change and so too our perspective. Where we were buyers of equities previously we must disdain them henceforth. Where we were sellers of Yen and US dollars we must buy them now. Where we had been long of gold in Yen terms, we must shift that and turn bullish of gold in EUR terms. Where we might have been technically bullish of the EUR we must now be technically and fundamentally bearish of it. The game board has been flipped over; the game has changed change with it or perish. We cannot be more blunt than that. That is a very ominous warning, but he is far from alone. Just the other day, I wrote about how legendary investor Seth Klarman is warning that the collapse of the financial markets could happen at literally any time Investing today may well be harder than it has been at any time in our three decades of existence, writes Seth Klarman in his year-end letter. The Feds relentless interventions and manipulations have left few purchase targets for Baupost, he laments. (The) underpinnings of our economy and financial system are so precarious that the un-abating risks of collapse dwarf all other factors. Other big hitters on Wall Street are ringing the alarm bells as well. For example, Seabreeze Partners portfolio manager Doug Kass recently told CNBC that what he is seeing right now reminds him of the period just before the crash of 1987 Im getting the summer of 1987 feeling in the U.S. equity market, Kass told CNBC, which means were headed for a sharp fall. And of course the perma-bears continue to warn that the months ahead are going to be very difficult. For instance, Dr. Doom Marc Faber recently said that he loves the high odds of a big-time market crash. Another perma-bear, Nomuras Bob Janjuah, is convinced that the stock market will experience one more huge spike before collapsing by up to 50% I continue to believe that the SP500 can trade up towards the 1575/1550 area, where we have, so far, a grand double top. I would not be surprised to see the SP trade marginally through the 2007 all-time nominal high (the real high was of course seen over a decade ago so much for equities as a long-term vehicle for wealth creation!). A weekly close at a new all-time high would I think lead to the final parabolic spike up which creates the kind of positioning extreme and leverage extreme needed to create the conditions for a 25% to 50% collapse in equities over the rest of 2013 and 2014, driven by real economy reality hitting home, and by policymaker failure/loss of faith in their system. So are they right? We will see. At the same time that many of the big dogs are pulling their money out of the market, many smaller investors are rushing to put their money back in to the market. The mainstream media continues to assure them that everything is wonderful and that this rally can last forever. But it is important to keep in mind that the last time that Wall Street was this euphoric was right before the market crash in 2008. So what should we be watching for? As I have mentioned before, it is very important to watch the financial markets in Europe right now. If they crash, the financial markets in the U.S. will probably crash too. And the financial markets in Europe definitely have had a rough week. Just check out what happened on Thursday. The following is from a report by CNBCs Bob Pisani Italy, Germany, France, Spain, U.K., Greece, and Portugal all on track to log worst day since Feb. 4. European PMI numbers were disappointing, with all major countries except Germany reporting numbers below 50, indicating contraction. What does this mean? It means Europe remains mired in recession: The euro zone is on course to contract for a fourth consecutive quarter, Markit, who provides the PMI data, said. A new insight is that France is now joining the weakness shown in periphery countries. Youre giving me agita: Italy was the worst market, down 2.5 percent. The CEO of banking company, Intesa Sanpaolo, said Italys recession has been so bad it could cause a fifth of Italian companies to fail, noting that topline for those bottom fifth have been shrinking 35 to 45 percent. Italian elections are this weekend. It wasnt any better in Asia. The Shanghai Index had its worst day in over a year, closing down nearly three percent. And the economic numbers coming out of the U.S. also continue to bequite depressing. But I am not really concerned about that number yet. When it rises above 400,000 and it stays there, then it will be time to officially become alarmed. So what is the bottom line? There are trouble signs on the horizon for the financial markets. Nobody should panic right now, but things certainly do not look very promising for the remainder of the year. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse.

3	10 Quotes From Financial Experts About The Effect That QE3 Will Have On Gold And SilverMichael Snyder, Contributor The same thing is likely to happen again with QE3. In addition, investors now have an expectation that the Fed will continue printing money for the foreseeable future and that the U.S. dollar is going to steadily decline, and that expectation will also likely give further momentum to the upward movement of gold and silver. Of course when it comes to investing, there is never a sure thing and as the global financial system falls apart in the coming years we are likely to see wild swings in the financial markets. So there is definitely an opportunity when it comes to gold and silver, but anyone that wants to invest in gold and silver needs to be ready for a wild ride. In a previous article, I compiled 10 quotes from experts about what QE3 is going to do to the U.S. economy. In this article, I have compiled 10 quotes from financial experts about the effect that QE3 will have on gold and silver. Hopefully you will find some nuggets of wisdom that you can use in these quotes from some top financial veterans. If we see gold move to the $3,400 level, it is not inconceivable that we may see silver closer to $100. Investors have to remember that at the end of the 70s the gold price doubled in a mere five or six weeks. If 3 to 5 years down the line we see that the base policy of the developed world is to continue printing money, then the gloves are off in terms of what levels gold and silver could actually go to. #2 GATAs Bill Murphy #3 Francisco Blanch, a global investment strategist with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, regarding his belief that gold is heading to $2400 an ounce. #4 Morgan Stanley Commodities Analyst Hussein Allidina #5 Peter Schiff, CEO Of Euro Pacific Capital #6 Jim Rogers #7 Deutsche Bank Analysts Daniel Brebner and Xiao Fu #8 Nick Barisheff, the CEO of Bullion Management Group Inc #9 Pimcos Bill Gross And there has been an unlimited amount of paper money over the past 20 to 30 years and now in this period of central bank expansion where its QE1 or QE2, or whether its the LTROs of the ECB or this potential new program then central banks are at their leisure to basically print money. Gold is a fixed commodity that has a considerable store of value that paper money has not. When a central bank starts writing checks and printing money in the trillions of dollars, its best to have something tangible that cant be reproduced, such as gold. #10 Marc Faber Over the past several weeks (both before and after QE3 was announced) we have seen a significant rise in the price of gold and in the price of silver. A lot of very wealthy people around the globe greatly benefited from this move. In a previous article, I quoted an article from the Telegraph that discussed the enormous amounts of money that billionaires George Soros and John Paulson had been investing in gold earlier this year. There was also news last week in an SEC filing that both George Soros and John Paulson had increased their investment in SPDR Gold Trust, the worlds largest publicly traded physical gold exchange traded fund (ETF). Mr Soros upped his stake in the ETF to 884,400 shares from 319,550 and Mr Paulson bought 4.53m shares, bringing his stake to 21.3m. At the current price of about $156 a share, these are new investments of about $88m of Mr Soros cash and more than $700m from Mr Paulsons funds. These are significant positions. And central banks all over the planet have also been hoarding gold. According to the World Gold Council, global central banks added 157.5 metric tons of gold last quarter. That was the most gold that global central banks have ever added to their stockpiles during a single quarter. Could it be possible that some folks knew ahead of time that QE3 was coming? That is a very interesting question. In any event, there is certainly a lot of hoarding of precious metals going on around the world, and without a doubt a lot of financial insiders are very bullish on gold and silver right now. But in the financial world there is never a guarantee that something will happen. For example, if there is a stock market crash in the coming months the price of gold and the price of silver are likely to fall dramatically. Just take a look at this 5-year chart for silver. During the last financial crisis the price of silver dropped like a rock. In fact, it fell by more than 50 percent between late 2008 and early 2009. So when the next stock market crash comes (and it is coming at some point) be prepared for gold and silver to take a tumble. They will print even larger amounts of money of course. And that will once again be very good for gold and silver. So dont let the ups and downs scare you too much. Gold and silver are definitely in for a wild ride, but in the long-term I am extremely bullish on gold and silver. I believe that both are eventually headed into the stratosphere. So what do you think is going to happen to gold and silver? Please feel free to post a comment with your thoughts below. This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

2	Scientist Admit They Were Wrong After Finding Evidence That Supports The Bible For decades, secular scientists have argued that the origins of life do not involve an intelligent creator. But many questions have remained. For instance, where did water come from? The popular belief by scientists is what water was delivered to Earth by an asteroid that struck our planet. Now, a study published in Thursday in Science has just confirmed that water has been on Earth since the very beginning. A group of scientists discovered ancient water in volcanic rocks taken from the arctic Baffin Islands. Lydia Hallis, a researcher at the University of Glasgow claimed that the water [the rocks] contain gives us an invaluable insight into Earths early history and where its waters came from. Were anxious to see them explain this one away. 
1	Ten years after signing a record $252 million contract to play baseball in Texas, third baseman Alex Rodriguez finally delivered for the Rangers by leading the franchise to its first-ever World Series. 'A-Rod came up big for us this entire series, all the way up until the last out,' Rangers manager Ron Washington told reporters during a postgame press conference, saying that the Rangers would have had no chance of beating the New York Yankees without Rodriguez's remarkable performance at the plate. 'It was a long time coming, but you have to give the guy credit. He was the Rangers' MVP, no question.' Washington added that seeing Rodriguez take Texas to the World Series was one thing, but A-Rod almost single-handedly beating the Yankees was 'extra sweet.' 
1	According to a yearlong study released Monday by the NCAA, 87 percent of college football fans are 'way, way too into' their favorite teams. 'The degree to which collegiate football dominates the conversation, correspondence, Internet use, mode of dress, and television habits of its fans, especially during the season, intrudes on nearly every aspect of their daily lives,' the report read in part, explaining that many casual football fans found their more-invested counterparts either annoying, brainwashed, or slightly pathetic for being so emotionally invested in the lives of 20-year-old boys. 'In almost a quarter of cases, fans interviewed were unable to go three sentences without alluding to college football in some way. Moreover, Auburn sucks; rammer jammer, yellowhammer.' NCAA researchers apologized for the lateness of the report, which was conducted last season but suspended in the spring due to unavoidable conflicts with March Madness. 
3	Brexit: Brits Lead Anti-Establishment Rebellion in European DepartureBy David Haggith The Brexit vote is clearly the most massive anti-establishment groundswellin decades. We can thank the Brits for having a stiffer upper lip than the Greeks when it comes torisking the pain that will come from this life-changing, nation-changinginternational divorce. And, of course, there will be pain and lots of it from such a major but vital course correction, just as there will be a lot of pain when the entire global economy meets its inevitable collapse. Already, that pain is arriving in torrents around the world, just as the rain poured downon England on Brexit voting day, so it is not as if the fear mongers were wrong. One has to expectthat a section of the European continent falling off politically will create tsunamis. One of the biggest fears is that Brexit will create waves of similar break-offs from the already deeply fracturedEurope. And overnightthe run-upof market crashes on foreign shores looks a lot like 2008. Before the day began in most of the US,Bloomberg reported the following list of major tidal changes around the world: (Heres an abridged version.) The British pounds plunge is its greatestone-day loss ever. The largest prior to that was the 1992dropof 4.1 percent. Thats when the poundwas pressuredout of Europes exchange-rate mechanism. The euros fall overnight was itsworst since it was introduced in 1999. The E-Mini Dow fell about 700 points upon the news as of midnight. Londons stock market plunged 8%. Standard and Poors has already stated that Britain may lose its AAA credit rating as a result of the Brexit vote. The financial seismic shift is so great that Bloomberg also reported the following overnightresults from the surprise 52-48 vote in favor of theBrexit: Its scary, and Ive never seen anything like it, said James Butterfill, head of research and investments at ETF Securities, said by phone from London. A lot of people were caught out, and many investors will lose a lot of money. Overall liquidity in the U.K. is drying up as we speak in a very rapid way, said John Woods, chief investment officer for Asia-Pacific at Credit Suisse Private Banking, told Bloomberg TV in Hong Kong. Its highly likely that we see monetary easing in a coordinated response from central banks across the world. The euro slumped 3.2 percent, while currencies in Norway, Sweden and Turkey posted even steeper losses. Japans currency jumped by the most since 1998 versus the dollar. All hell is breaking loose, says Vishnu Varathan, a senior economist in Singapore at Mizuho Bank Ltd. The only surefire is you buy yen, you buy U.S. Treasuries, you buy gold, and you sit tight. A gauge of where bank borrowing costs will be in the months ahead, known as the FRA/OIS spread, hit the most extreme level since 2012 on Friday in Asia. Equity futures, gold, U.K. bank and insurance stocks are all sounding off their market stress sirens. We would expect the Bank of England to immediately add liquidity in extra size today, and the ECB will follow. USD swap lines with the Federal Reserve may be used, and other central banks will be on alert. Clearly, most pollsters were wrong, as almost allwere predicting the Brexit vote would end with the UK remaining in the European Union. Markets around the world aligned themselves with those polls to be ready for the outcome. That makes the overnight financial disastershard to assess in terms of how severe all of thisis for the longer term, as clearly there were a lot of positions being hastily corrected. Cooler heads may prevail in a couple of days after the dust settles. Of course, Ive been pointing out for a long time that manymassive negative forces have been stacking up in the global economy. Ive pointed out that, asmore of those possibilities like a Grexit or Chinese crash or a Japanese crash or the Brexit pile up, the number of actual assaults against a failing global economy will increase. Its a simple matter of great odds stacking up against the global economy, which is deeply flawed at a structural level. It was always a matter of which orbitingbolidewould hit the earth first. Many politicians pointed to theanti-establishment nature of the vote, which had a lot of dedication behind it. Voter turnout wasthe highest its been since 1992with 72% of the voting populace making it to the polls in spite of severe rainstorms and flooding. Many thought those who wanted to leave the EU were stronger in their desire to leave, while those wanting to stay may have tended to be little softer and less apt to brave the inclementweather. Even before the polls closed, talk was that the bad weather would tend to help the cause of the more stalwart leave voters; but that speaks only of the passion for leaving and lack of passion for remaining. The weather and how it would differently effect voters of different passions could be why the final vote turned out so much different from what pollsters had predicted.Only Scotland and London voted decisively in favor of remaining in the EU with London voting 60-40 in favor of staying in the European Union. The rest of the UK turned out a landslide vote for leaving the EUwith some regionsvotingas high as 60% in favor of leaving the EU. That was a much stronger run for the exit than anyone (even the leave campaigners) expected. One can safely say that London isthe establishment, just as Washington is the establishment in the US. So, the establishment went solidly with Europe, whilethe rest of the country went solidly against the establishment. The vote in Scotland could presage more troubles between Scotland and the rest of the UK as Scotland has long threatened its own exodus from the UK. Those feelings of leaving in order to stay with the EU may now be heightened. Scotlands First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said that the EU vote makes clear that the people of Scotland see their future as part of the European Union. (BBC) Obviously, the majority of Brits didnt care what establishment politicians Obama or Hillary had to say. Both had cautioned strongly against a Brexit, as had the International Monetary Fund. Donald Trump, on the other hand, supported the campaign to leave. It would appear that the same groundswell that is rising behind Donald Trump in the US is rising to even greater heights in the UK, willing to take on far more severe risks in order to escape the clutches of the European establishment. It would appearTrump has more foreign-policy credibility than Obama because, while in Scotland, Trump said, I would personally be more inclined to leave, for a lot of reasons like having a lot less bureaucracy. But I am not a British citizen. This is just my opinion. (Breitbart) He seems more in sync with the British people. Perhaps no one is more qualified to say what the British exit vote was all about than its lead campaigner, British politicianNigel Farage: If the predictions now are right, this will be a victory for real people, a victory for ordinary people, a victory for decent people.We have fought against the multinationals, we have fought against the big merchant banks, we have fought against big politics, we have fought against lies, corruption and deceit.And today honesty, decency and belief in nation, I think now is going to win.And we will have done it without having to fight, without a single bullet being fired.Win or lose this battle tonight, we will win this war, we will get our country back, we will get our independence back and we will get our borders back. (The Daily Mail) Notice how closelytheseissues parallel Trumps. The opposition more or less agreed with the anti-establishment nature of the Brexit vote and showed that the vote has the establishments attention: Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb, a supporter of ties to the EU, said the white working class appeared to be voting out.In those areas which are strongly perhaps white working class there will be a strong vote for Out and thats something as a Government we need to respond to, he said.Clearly, I think one of the features of this referendum are some of those social divisions and clearly as a Government, as a political class, all parties, we need to show that were responding to that. Even though the Labour party was expected to vote 2/3 in favor of remaining, Ex Labour leader Ed Miliband said a Remain majority would be a vote for staying in the EU, but not a vote for the status quo in this country.Its important David Cameron listens to that.Whatever happens, the country will need to come together, there will need to be healing. Its a nation divided and the PM will have a big responsibility particularly if its a Remain win to show he understands what people are saying on the Leave side of the argument.Labour faces that responsibility too. As far as Labour voters are concerned, there are two issues. There is obviously immigration, but beneath that there is a whole set of issues about peoples lives and the fact that they dont feel politics is listening to them. So, an enormous changehappenedin a single day because people finally got so sickof the establishment that they would bear any risk and all the pain that will likely come from their decision in order to break from the status quo. The price to the European establishment for running its undemocratic course for forty years is a complete break away byone of its major nations and most vitaleconomies. And the cost to the one politician who was the leading champion of remaining in the EU Prime Minister David Cameron is that he resigned this morning. But, of course, the European establishment is also shell-shocked, revealing the depth of establishment blindness toward the problems the establishment is creating: Former Europe minister and Labour MP Keith Vaz told the BBC the outcome would be a catastrophe. Frankly, in a thousand years I would never have believed that the British people would have voted this way, he said.And they have done so and I think that they voted emotionally rather than looking at the facts.Itll be catastrophic for our country, for the rest of Europe and indeed the world.He added: The issues of immigration are extremely important, if you look at the campaign I think that there needed to be a much stronger campaign to stay in. (The Daily Mail) Yes, immigration was one of the biggest issues a problem created and pushed upon the British people by Europe with complete ignorance or indifference to the costs, both cultural and economic, that come with shoving too many divergent people together too quickly. The price for that blind and hard-to-understand push, spearheaded by the apparently blind Angela Merkel, is the first major piece of the European continent breaking away. The same backlash against that indifference and that we know better than you attitude is building here in the US. Thats why we see all the establishment politicians within the Republican party equally surprised at Trumps enormous success over the manyestablishment candidates that the party put forward, all of whom were turned awaylike ripe garbage. A leave vote does not mean immediate cessation from the EU. Even the leave politicians recommend a path that will take a couple of years to complete the divorce. The European nations are so intertwined, there is a great deal of untying of the knot to do: The government will also have to negotiate its future trading relationship with the EU and fix trade deals with non-EU countries.In Whitehall and Westminster, there will now begin the massive task of unstitching the UK from more than 40 years of EU law, deciding which directives and regulations to keep, amend or ditch. (BBC) The Brits prove the establishment can be bucked and that it may pay dearly for ignoring those it considers the ignorant masses.Today, Europe crumbles. You can read more from David Haggith at his site The Great Recession Blog, where this article first appeared. The Brits won and will never look back and they will never regret this move. A vote that was heard loud and clear by their little sister the Usurped States of the gold collar extortion agencies known as the unFederal b.s. Zentral bank and the unconstitutional thug IRS.

3	14 Facts About The Absolutely Crazy Internet Stock Bubble That Could Crash And Burn In 2014Michael Snyder You would probably say that I was insane, but the company that I have just described is Twitter and Wall Street is going crazy for it right now. Please dont get me wrong I actually love Twitter. On my Twitter account I have sent out thousands of tweets. Twitter is a lot of fun, and it has had a huge impact on the entire planet. But is it worth 13 billion dollars? Of course not. When it comes to the Internet, what is hot today will probably not be hot tomorrow. Do you remember MySpace? At one time, MySpace was considered to be the undisputed king of social media. But then something better came along (Facebook) and killed it. It is important to keep in mind that Facebook did not even exist ten years ago. Yes, almost everybody is using it today, but will everybody still be using it a decade from now? Maybe. But the way that the financial markets are valuing these firms can only be justified if they are going to make absolutely massive profits for many decades to come. Probably, as long as they get their act together. In fact, Twitter should be making significant amounts of money right now if it was being run correctly. But will Twitter ever make 13 billion dollars? No, that simply is not going to happen. But that is what Wall Street says that Twitter is worth. The utter foolishness that we are witnessing on Wall Street right now is so similar to what we saw back in the late 1990s. It is almost as if we have learned nothing from our past mistakes. These days I keep having flashbacks of the Pets.com sock puppet. For those too young to remember, the following is a brief summary from Investopedia about what happened to Pets.com Its impossible to think of the first Internet era without thinking of the Pets.com sock puppet. He was everywhere and was nearly as well-known as the Geico gecko is today. That familiarity, in part, persuaded many investors to lay down money in the companys February 2000 IPO (which was backed by Amazon.com). Pets.com raised $82.5 million but nine months later it folded, due to major recurring losses. Part of the reason for that was aggressive advertising, but the company also lost money on virtually every item it sold. In the third quarter of 2000, Pets.com reported negative gross margins of $277,000. (The second quarter had seen a $1.7 million margin loss.) That same quarter (its last full quarter as an operating entity), the company lost $21.7 million on $9.4 million in revenue. As for the puppet, he went on to shill for BarNone, which helps people with bad credit histories get car loans. Hes still there today, front and center on that website. Everyone loves to laugh at the poor little sock puppet, but the truth is that the tech bubble that is inflating right now is far worse than the Dotcom bubble of the late 1990s. The following are 14 facts about the current tech bubble that will blow your mind #1 In just a few days, the Twitter IPO is expected to raise close to 2 billion dollars even though Twitter actually lost 64.6 million dollars last quarter and has a long history of not being profitable. #2 It is being projected that after the IPO Twitter could have a market valuation of more than 13 billion dollars. #3 Twitter is not expected to make a profit until 2015 at the earliest. #4 According to CNBC, Pinterest is currently valued at 3.8 billion dollars even though it has never earned a profit. #5 Yahoo paid more than a billion dollars for Tumblr even though Tumblrs revenues are so small that Yahoo is not even required to report them on financial statements. #6 Snapchat, an Internet service that allows people to send out messages that self-destruct, is supposedly worth 4 billion dollars. But it actually has zero revenue coming in, and many believe that it is essentially worthless as a money making enterprise. For one extensive analysis by a tech blogger, please see this article. #7 The stock of Rocket Fuel, an online advertising company, is trading at about 60 dollars a share and it has a market valuation of about 2 billion dollars even though it has never made a profit. #8 The stock of local business review website Yelp is up 241 percent this year even though it has never earned a quarterly profit. #9 Fab.com just raised 165 million dollars from investors even though it recently laid off 440 employees. #10 LinkedIn stock has risen in price by 136 percent since the 2011 IPO, and it is now supposedly worth more than 18 billion dollars. #11 The head of engineering at Twitter, Chris Fry, got a 10.3 million dollar pay package when he joined Twitter last year. #12 Facebooks VP of engineering, Mike Schroepfer, earned 24.4 million dollars in 2011. #13 Office rents in San Francisco (where many of these tech companies are based) are now 23 percent higher than they were at the peak of the real estate market in 2008. #14 Facebook stock is up close to 140 percent over the past 12 months and the company is now worth more than 120 billion dollars. And I am certainly not the only one that is concerned that we are repeating the mistakes of the late 1990s When you look at valuations and look at the lack of earnings and revenue, it seems to me much like the dot-com bubble, said Matt McCormick, a money manager at Cincinnati-based Bahl Gaynor Inc. who helps oversee $10.2 billion. This market looks a little frothy and Twitter is the personification of a risky trade. In fact, as Wall Street Journal recently noted, we have seen some of these tech stocks crash more than once during the Internet age Its fascinating to me that todays mini-mania includes shares of Amazon, Netflix and Priceline that have previously peaked and crashed beforein some cases theyve peaked and crashed twice before, says Darren Pollock, portfolio manager at Cheviot Value Management. Stocks like these have again captured the imagination of speculators. Were skeptical that there is enough underlying intrinsic value to many of the highfliers to support todays prices. So how long will it be until the current tech bubble implodes? That is a very good question.

3	U.S. ambassador: al Qaeda could plan other 9/11 from Afghanistan unless we keep fightingMadison Ruppert, Contributor Of course, this is hindered by the fact that in reality, neither al Qaeda nor Afghanistan can be held responsible for the tragic events of that day, based on the fact that there is clear evidence of a long-term cover-up and the official story is nothing short of farcical. Setting aside the fact that the official story we have been sold by our government is full of more holes than Swiss cheese, it is still clear that Crocker is putting forth the same ludicrous fear mongering and disinformation as so many other current and former government officials have. I have attempted to make it clear to my readers that the supposed date when coalition troops will leave Afghanistan is completely fictitious. This was first made clear to me last year during the Afghan Loya Jirga and reinforced by decisions to deploy a cutting edge new drone and spend $35 million to expand a prison complex they were supposed to close. If we decide were tired, theyll be back, Crocker claimed, referencing al Qaeda. The fact that individuals from our government continually claim that al Qaeda is a threat, while supporting the al Qaeda-affiliated Libyan opposition as well as the terrorists in the Syrian opposition which also has received support from al Qaeda. In reality, the threat of terrorism is much less significant than our government would like us to think. Al-Qaeda is still present in Afghanistan. If the West decides that 10 years in Afghanistan is too long then they will be back, and the next time it will not be New York or Washington, it will be another big Western city, Crocker claimed. In other words, in the view of Crocker and other former and current government officials, the only option is perpetual, global war in the name of fighting the terrorist bogeymen. 62-year-old Crocker claims that Afghanistan needs Western support for years to come, although he did not specify when we would ever be able to leave. This isnt all too surprising, since Crocker has a lot of experience justifying occupation from his time serving as ambassador to Iraq. Officials with NATO claim (but of course do not show evidence backing up their claims) that some 100 al Qaeda militants have already returned to Afghanistan. Furthermore, they claim that they are based mostly out of the Nuristan and Kunar provinces, which are near the border with Pakistan. They even claim that there are hundreds more in Pakistan and if the United States were to leave, they would all flood back in and begin masterminding attacks. This is hardly surprising given that the Western media constantly demonizes Pakistan. This makes it seem as if it is currently impossible for them to plan terrorist attacks in Pakistan, but since there are actually no al Qaeda terrorists planning attacks on Western targets (unless such an attack is approved by the Western intelligence community), it is irrelevant. In covering these ludicrous claims made by Crocker, the British Telegraph was even able to bring up the Toulouse shooting. They write, Following the shootings in Toulouse this month by an al-Qaeda-inspired gunman, British intelligence officials believe the group is planning a wave of attacks against Western targets, including the London Olympics. Of course the only problem here is that a French official has already said that there is no evidence of the shooter being linked to al Qaeda, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has already leveraged the tragedy to his political advantage, and there is the possibility that the individual held responsible was a French intelligence asset. Crocker even nonsensically claimed that by killing many alleged al Qaeda militants, we have somehow made them stronger by leaving their most dedicated fighters alive. We have killed all the slow and stupid ones. But that means the ones that are left are totally dedicated, he claimed. We think weve won a campaign before our adversaries have even started to fight. They have patience, and they know that we are short on that, he added, further pointing to the fact that this so-called Global War on Terror is perpetual and will never end so long as we allow the fraudulent threat of terrorism to be held over our heads.

2	Nicholas Henin Escapes ISIS Captivity And Exposes THESE Secrets To Take Them Down Nicholas Henin was held hostage by ISIS for 10 months before escaping. He has brought back with him a new strategy that could be crucial for taking out ISIS. Henin was held captive, and was tortured by infamous Jihadi John himself. He was subjected to physical and psychological torture. He proposes a no-fly zone over Syria. The winner of this war will not be the party that has the newest, the most expensive or the most sophisticated weaponry, but the party that manages to win over the people on its side. Henin could be on to something when he says the best way to take out ISIS is to slowly drain their numbers and support. We think this, in combination with bombing ISIS, is the best course of action. What do you think we should do? 
2	Group Whose Never Been Wrong Predicts Presidential Candidate For 2016 Western Illinois University has become famous for accurately predicting the outcome of the presidential elections in the United States since 1975. Now, the university has just released their prediction for 2016and it doesnt look anything like we expected. According to reports from Mad World News, WIU has predicted that Bernie Sanders will ultimately win the election in 2016. For some reason unknown to us, Sanders has won the hearts of the liberal youth. Those with a bit more experience can see that he is actually a socialistwho will grasp the mess Obama has made of our economy and almost assuredly worsen it. They envision Sanders running with Martin OMalley as his Vice President. The group has also listed Sanders top opponent as Jeb Bush, who they believe will run with Marco Rubio. Lets just say we have our fingers crossed that WIU is wrong for the first time in 40 years, or the future looks bleak for America. What do you think about WIUs prediction? 
3	US Easing Into War with Syria by Using ISISTony Cartalucci Despite the obvious reality that these militants are in fact fighting alongside ISIS and are primarily fighting the Syrian Arab Army, and that such airstrikes are inevitably going to be called in on Syrian, not ISIS targets, the US is nonetheless attempting to assure the world this is not the case. The London Telegraph declared in its article, Moderate Syrian rebels to be given power to call in US air strikes, that: The US is planning to train some 5000 Syrian fighters a year under the plan as part of an effort to strengthen the fractured rebel movement against the government of President Bashar al-Assad and extremist groups. The Wall Street Journal reported that the initial training would focus on helping rebels hold ground and resist fighters allied with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil). The Telegraph would also report: Four to six-man units will be equipped with rugged Toyota Hilux vehicles, GPS and radios so they can identify targets for airstrikes. Even in the Telegraphs article, it is clear that this plan will inevitably be aimed at the Syrian government and its troops, the only secular force in the region fighting Al Qaeda and its spin-off, ISIS. What Moderate Rebels? The Telegraph reports that the US and Turkey are to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels to call in US airstrikes. In reality, by the Wests own admission, the very last of NATOs so-called moderate fronts have long since been folded into groups operating directly under Al Qaedas banner. To highlight the absurdity of this recent plan proposed by the US and NATO-member Turkey, the Telegraph itself has reported in an earlier article titled, Syrian rebels armed and trained by US surrender to al-Qaeda, that: Two of the main rebel groups receiving weapons from the United States to fight both the regime and jihadist groups in Syria have surrendered to al-Qaeda. The US and its allies were relying on Harakat Hazm and the Syrian Revolutionary Front to become part of a ground force that would attack the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil). For the last six months the Hazm movement, and the SRF through them, had been receiving heavy weapons from the US-led coalition, including GRAD rockets and TOW anti-tank missiles. But on Saturday night Harakat Hazm surrendered military bases and weapons supplies to Jabhat al-Nusra, when the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria stormed villages they controlled in northern Idlib province. Clearly, there are no moderates to speak of, and for those following the Syrian conflict from the beginning, it is clear that armed militancy sprung up from networks of Muslim Brotherhood extremists, funded and organized years before the so-called Arab Spring by the US, Saudi Arabia, and Israel for the explicit purpose of creating a regional sectarian-driven conflagration to effect regime change in Syria, Lebanon, and Iran. Indeed, Al Qaedas (and ISIS) current presence in Iraq and Syria, and their leading role in the fight against the Iranian-leaning governments of Damascus, Baghdad, and Hezbollah in Lebanon, are the present-day manifestation of a Western criminal conspiracy exposed as early as 2007. Revealed by two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his article, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? it was stated explicitly that (emphasis added): To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has cooperated with Saudi Arabias government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda. As early as June of last year, it was reported that ISIS would be used as a means to incrementally draw in US forces in preparation for a direct military intervention aimed at Damascus itself. Unable to trigger the conflict using the canard of WMDs, ISIS has provided a series of increasingly more horrific provocations to help gather backing behind direct US military intervention in Syria. The extremists groups portended by Hershs 2007 report are undeniably the vanguard of Western-backed attempts to topple the government of Syria, undermine Iran, and draw in Lebanons Hezbollah. It appears that the West is willing to go as far as fighting directly alongside literal terrorists they have used for over a decade as a pretext to invade and occupy the nations of Afghanistan and Iraq, at the cost of thousands of American lives and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghan lives. USAF Becomes the Islamic State Air Force Clearly then, if all the moderate rebels the US claims are in Syria have in fact long ago pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda, then US airstrikes called in by these militants will essentially be airstrikes called in by Al Qaeda against the only legitimate forces in the region actually fighting terrorism. The creation of ISIS, just like during the US occupation of Iraq where Al Qaeda created the Islamic State of Iraq to maintain plausible deniability, is simply an attempt to build distance between the Al Qaeda terrorists the US is directly arming and will soon be providing air cover for, and the overt atrocities being carried out by these very same terrorists. While ISIS is currently being touted by the US as the pretext upon which this recent move is predicated, the reality is instead that America and its allies are simply easing into a direct military confrontation with the Syrian Arab Army. As US airstrikes begin hitting Syrian positions, it is likely that eventually Syria or its allies will retaliate and provoke a wider and more direct campaign against Damascus itself. Should Syria and its allies resist striking back, the US is likely to manufacture a provocation anyway. Barring Syria and its allies ability to provide sufficient deterrence against the beginning of this latest, most dangerous, and most desperate yet leg of Americas war on Syria, and should Syrian defenses be incapable of staving off a Libyan-style NATO operation that has left that nation entirely in the hands of ISIS, expect to see yet another nation handed directly over to extremists intentionally for the sole purpose of continuing this proxy crusade next into Lebanon and Iran, then into southern Russia and western China.

2	Watch What Happened Immediately After Trump Got Off His Private Jet In DC... Look Closely Earlier this week, Trump flew to Washington D.C. to begin his inauguration celebrations, which were attended by some of his top donors. When Trump landed at Reagan National Airport with his top adviser Kellyanne Conway, they immediately headed to the Chairmans Global Dinner. The event was also attended by major diplomats, politicians, donors and Broadway stars. Trump only stayed at the party for about two hours before flying back to New York City. He took off at 10:30, ten minutes later than expected after personnel was unable to detach the stairs of his jet. The black-tie dinner was attended by around 500 people, 300 of which were big donors to Trump and 150 who are well-known diplomats. At the dinner, Trump opened his speech with a heartfelt thanks to Mike Pence. I had a couple of beauties I could have picked. But they were good too but maybe wouldnt have worked out like Mike, Trump said. So I want to thank Mike and Karen and I want to thank all of the people in the room. We have so many friends, 147 diplomats and investors, never been done before. Trump went on to share his gratitude to the diplomats at the event as well as his cabinet picks, particularly his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. But I want to thank you all for being here. We have great respect for your countries, we have great respect for our world, he said. We have a man that I wanted right from the beginning, Rex Tillerson. Now these lights are bright but hes around here some place. Wheres our Rex? Wow. What a job. I think its tougher than he thought. Hes led this charmed life. He goes into a country, takes the oil, goes into another country, Trump concluded. Its tough dealing with these politicians, right? Hes going to be so incredible. And Im very proud, Im very proud of everybody, the cabinet members. 
1	Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garners appearance at the Academy Awards Sunday undoubtedly inspired fond memories in the estimated 73 percent of American couples who, according to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau, also met on the set of the 2003 superhero film Daredevil. Survey data collected over the past 10 years reveals that, just like Jen and Ben, the overwhelming majority of couples in the United States first met while visiting, working on, or passing through the set of Daredevil, said Joseph Frey, the statistician who compiled the report, noting that 28 percent of partners got to know each other while doing gaffing or lighting work, 18 percent met while in line for on-set catering, and 15 percent simply visited the set and were introduced by mutual friends. I myself met my wonderful wife, Kristen, while I was doing some consulting work for 20th Century Fox and she was working as a PA on Daredevil. Whenever people ask when we got together I always say, Well, when did Daredevil come out? Of course, statistically speaking, theres a pretty good chance they already know the answer. Frey added that the two are happily married with one daughter, who, like most children born in 2009, was conceived on the set of Hes Just Not That Into You. 
3	The Colorado River, The High Plains Aquifer And The Entire Western Half Of The U.S. Are Rapidly Drying UpMichael Snyder Already we are seeing some ominous signs that Dust Bowl conditions are starting to return to the region. In the past couple of years we have seen giant dust storms known as haboobs roll through Phoenix, and6 of the 10 worst years for wildfires ever recorded in the United States have all come since the year 2000. In fact, according to the Los Angeles Times, the average number of fires larger than 1,000 acres in a year has nearly quadrupled in Arizona and Idaho and has doubled in every other Western state since the 1970s. But scientists are warning that they expect the western United States to become much drier than it is now. What will the western half of the country look like once that happens? A recent National Geographic article contained the following chilling statement The wet 20th century, the wettest of the past millennium, the century when Americans built an incredible civilization in the desert, is over. Much of the western half of the country has historically been a desolate wasteland. We were very blessed to enjoy very wet conditions for most of the last century, but now that era appears to be over. The Colorado River provides water for irrigation of roughly 15 percent of the crops in the United States, including vegetables, fruits, cotton, alfalfa and hay. It also provides municipal water supplies for large cities, such as Phoenix, Tucson, Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas, accounting for more than half of the water supply in many of these areas. In particular, water levels in Lake Mead (which supplies most of the water for Las Vegas) have fallen dramatically over the past decade or so. The following is an excerpt from an article posted onSmithsonian.com And boaters still roar across Nevada and Arizonas Lake Mead, 110 miles long and formed by the Hoover Dam. But at the lakes edge they can see lines in the rock walls, distinct as bathtub rings, showing the water level far lower than it once wassome 130feet lower, as it happens, since 2000. Water resource officials say some of the reservoirs fed by the riverwill never be full again. Today, Lake Mead supplies approximately 85 percent of the water that Las Vegas uses, and since 1998 the water level in Lake Mead has dropped by about 5.6 trillion gallons. So what happens if Lake Mead continues to dry up? Well, the truth is that it would bea major disaster Way before people run out of drinking water, something else happens: When Lake Mead falls below 1,050 feet, the Hoover Dams turbines shut down less than four years from now, if the current trend holds and in Vegas the lights start going out. Ominously, these water woes are not confined to Las Vegas. Under contracts signed by President Obama in December 2011, Nevada gets only 23.37% of the electricity generated by the Hoover Dam. The other top recipients: Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (28.53%); state of Arizona (18.95%); city of Los Angeles (15.42%); and Southern California Edison (5.54%). You can always build more power plants, but you cant build more rivers, and the mighty Colorado carries the lifeblood of the Southwest. It services the water needs of an area the size of France, in which live 40 million people. In its natural state, the river poured 15.7 million acre-feet of water into the Gulf of California each year. Today, twelve years of drought have reduced the flow to about 12 million acre-feet, and human demand siphons off every bit of it; at its mouth, the riverbed is nothing but dust. Nor is the decline in the water supply important only to the citizens of Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. Its critical to the whole country. The Colorado is the sole source of water for southeastern Californias Imperial Valley, which has been made into one of the most productive agricultural areas in the US despite receiving an average of three inches of rain per year. You hardly ever hear about this on the news, but the reality is that this is a slow-motion train wreck happening right in front of our eyes. Today, the once mighty Colorado River runs dry about 50 miles north of the sea. The following is an excerpt from an excellent article by Jonathan Waterman about what he found when he went to investigate this Fifty miles from the sea, 1.5 miles south of the Mexican border, I saw a river evaporate into a scum of phosphates and discarded water bottles. This dirty water sent me home with feet so badly infected that I couldnt walk for a week. And a delta once renowned for its wildlife and wetlands is now all but part of the surrounding and parched Sonoran Desert. According to Mexican scientists whom I met with, the river has not flowed to the sea since 1998. If the Endangered Species Act had any teeth in Mexico, we might have a chance to save the giant sea bass (totoaba), clams, the Sea of Cortez shrimp fishery that depends upon freshwater returns, and dozens of bird species. So let this stand as an open invitation to the former Secretary of the Interior and all water buffalos who insist upon telling us that there is no scarcity of water here or in the Mexican Delta. Leave the sprinklered green lawns outside the Aspen conferences, come with me, and Ill show you a Colorado River running dry from its headwaters to the sea. It is polluted and compromised by industry and agriculture. It is overallocated, drought stricken, and soon to suffer greatly from population growth. If other leaders in our administration continue the whitewash, the scarcity of knowledge and lack of conservation measures will cripple a western civilization built upon water. Further east, the major problem is the drying up of our underground water resources. In the state of Kansas today, many farmers that used to be able to pump plenty of water to irrigate their crops are discovering that the water underneath their land is now gone. The following is an excerpt from a recent article in the New York Times Vast stretches of Texas farmland lying over the aquifer no longer support irrigation. In west-central Kansas, up to a fifth of the irrigated farmland along a 100-mile swath of the aquifer has already gone dry. In many other places, there no longer is enough water to supply farmers peak needs during Kansas scorching summers. And when the groundwater runs out, it is gone for good. Refilling the aquifer would require hundreds, if not thousands, of years of rains. So what is going to happen to the breadbasket of the world as this underground water continues to dry up? Most Americans have never even heard of the Ogallala Aquifer, but it is one of our most important natural resources. It is one of the largest sources of fresh water on the entire planet, and farmers use water from the Ogallala Aquifer to irrigate more than 15 million acres of crops each year. It covers more than 100,000 square miles and it sits underneath the states of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and South Dakota. Unfortunately, today it is being drained dry at a staggering rate. The following are a few statistics about this from one of myprevious articles 1. The Ogallala Aquifer is being drained at a rate of approximately 800 gallons per minute. 2. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a volume equivalent to two-thirds of the water in Lake Erie has been permanently drained from the Ogallala Aquifer since 1940. 3. Decades ago, the Ogallala Aquifer had an average depth of approximately 240 feet, but today the average depth is just 80 feet. In some areas of Texas, the water is gone completely. So exactly what do we plan to do once the water is gone? We wont be able to grow as many crops and we will not be able to support such large cities in the Southwest. If we have a few more summers of severe drought that are anything like last summer, we are going to be staring a major emergency in the face very rapidly. If you live in the western half of the country, you might want to start making plans for the future, because our politicians sure are not.

1	After spending five hours at Dunn's Irish Pub on Wednesday night, Michael Sampson, 31, was overheard citing his Big Buck Hunter score as proof of his sobriety, and thus his ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. 'I shot the hell out of every one of those deer in the background, I didn't kill any does, plus I got bonus points at the end for gettin' those duck bastards,' Sampson told bar patrons, staggering as he put down the game's gun-shaped neon-orange controller. 'All right, let's go.' Sampson then finished his beer, paid his tab, and severely injured all three passengers when he swerved off the road and slammed into a 10-point buck at 65 mph. 
1	A new television commercial from General Electric, unveiled Tuesday, proudly trumpets the company's federally mandated cleanup of a river it polluted. A recent GE ad touting the company's cleanup of a river it polluted. Part of a $70 million PR campaign, the GE ad depicts a beautiful bend on Massachusetts' Housatonic River, which had been polluted by decades of PCB discharges and other hazardous chemicals from the company's plant in nearby Pittsfield. 'We work hard on this lazy river,' a deep-voiced actor says as the camera lingers on the Housatonic, which GE was ordered to clean at a cost of $250 million by the EPA. 'In the past three months alone, GE has removed more than 5,200 cubic yards of river sediments and 3,200 cubic yards of bank soil, making the Housatonic River a safe and beautiful place for everyone.' As the camera pans upward to a clear, blue sky, the announcer closes with the words, 'GE, we bring good things back to life.' 'GE is committed to doing our part for future generations,' said GE press liaison Brandon Thayer following a special press screening of the ad. 'We care about clean air and water.' The ad is one in a series touting GE's compliance with EPA-mandated cleanups of the environmental damage it has wrought. One such ad showcases the company's cleanup of the Hudson River, into which it dropped more than 1.3 million pounds of PCBs. Still other GE ads boast of the company's compliance with federal laws aimed at preventing future damage. Hundreds of fish contaminated with GE-dumped PCBs lie dead on the banks of a river. 'The environment is important to GE. Maybe that's why last year alone, we spent $138 million on pollution-control equipment to minimize waste and reduce emissions,' stated a 1999 commercial boasting of GE's decision not to appeal a failed challenge the 1990 Clean Air Act. 'Fresh air, blue skies... GE is making this future possible.' The Housatonic commercial was first conceived in November 2001, more than two years after an EPA consent decree was lodged against GE and four years after the pollution-choked river was added to the EPA's Superfund National Priorities List. 'At GE, we're committed to making your world better,' a print version of the ad states. 'That's why we're involved in 87 active federal Superfund sites.' According to Thayer, GE has donated more than $400 million to cleanup sites around the U.S. since 1990. He added that the company spends millions more each year conducting its own research to determine which substances should qualify as contaminants and which should be freed from government restrictions. 'GE will continue to do everything in its power to protect our greatest resource: our planet,' said Thayer, reiterating the company's commitment to the mandatory cleanup of polluted sites near its manufacturing plants. 'After all, it's the only one we've got.' Next week, a new ad showcasing GE's work cleaning up the grounds of a Malvern, PA, elementary school is slated to make its debut. After GE was forced to remove 41,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil from the school's playground area, it installed new recreational equipment and athletic facilities on the site. The ad, which cites GE's playground-equipment donation, features a delighted child on a slide and a voiceover stating, 'GE knows you've got to give just a little... to get a smile in return.' 
3	Cattle Now Being Fed Cookies and Candies Instead of Real FoodAnthony Gucciardi In an effort to slash costs and increase profits, livestock corporations have now begun feeding their cattle super cheap processed foods like cookies, gummy worms, chocolate, fruit loops and a whole list of candies. Fattening up the cattle thanks to a large percentage of sugar content and no real nutritional value, the disease-riddled cattle end up fetching a larger price for farm owners. The fruit loops-fed cattle also may end up on your dinner table, harboring even more dangerous additives than even cattle fed a diet of corn. Before accounting for the new diet of cookies and candy, conventionally raised cattle meat contains oftentimes an excessive amount of antibiotics (now admitted to be harming human health internationally), artificial hormones such as Monsantos cloned growth hormone rBGH, resistant bacteria, genetically modified organisms (from corn) and other contaminants. Now, however, a few new problematic substances have entered the equation. Cattle on a Diet of MSG, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, and GMOs It is important to understand that almost all corn in the United States is genetically modified. Therefore, the traditional factory farm diet of corn or grain is certainly not a safe option. It is, however, arguably better than 100% processed junk food that contains not just genetically modified organisms but ingredients like: And many more. Each of these ingredients has of course been linked to a host of negative ailments ranging from cancer to cognitive disorders, however very few know the true dangers of such substances. High fructose corn syrup, for example, has been admitted to contain mercury an element that is toxic in all forms. It is also important to note that the corn processed into high fructose corn syrup is, for the most part, always genetically modified. Such is also the case with aspartame, made from genetically modified bacteria waste. So now only are these cows being loaded up with processed food chemicals, mercury, and other additives, but theyre also still receiving GMOs. Ice Cream Sprinkles As Food: Anything that keeps the feed costs down. In other words, these cattle are being fed the typical American diet of processed foods containing GMOs, harmful additives, and zero real nutritional content. To give you a real life example, lets examine one major dairy farmer who is literally feeding his cattle ice cream sprinkles. Dairy cattle owner Mike Yoder found a deal on ice cream sprinkles this summer, so he decided to go ahead and feed them to his cattle as their major food source. And as Yoder explains, its all about cutting costs even if it means sacrificing your health: Anything that keeps the feed costs down. Thats all it is, he said. The statements by this candy manufacturer rep and heads of the dairy cattle industry demonstrate the severe lack of care regarding the actual health of you and your family, the animals being fed these cheap processed foods, and the integrity of the environment. It also clearly shows that many such individuals are purely looking to increase profits, utilizing anything that keeps costs down regardless of the price. In order to protect the health of you and your family, always remember to buy high quality organic. While 100% organic is the best along with locally grown market options, always look for the certified organic seal when purchasing food from a grocery store. Explore More: 
3	Putin reportedly confirms that Russia is actively working on psychotronic weaponsMadison Ruppert, Contributor In fact, it is so poorly understood that even some journalists like Sam Biddle of Gizmodo and the Australian Herald Sun show a disturbing amount of ignorance on the subject. Biddle seems to get confused by the fact that these weapons reportedly have the capability to create physiological sensations like burning (similar to the American Active Denial System, also known as a heat ray or microwave gun, which utilizes super high frequencies). Biddle exposes his ignorance by conflating the super high frequency (SHF) used by the Active Denial System (ADS) with the low-frequency waves used by psychotronic weapons. I consider this somewhat like thinking a flame thrower and a .22 rifle are the same because they can both injure and kill people. Both types of weapons use invisible waves and are far from conventional weapons, but that is just about where the similarities end. These weapons, which were confirmed by none other than Vladimir Putin, Russian President Elect, according to the Herald Sun, reportedly attack the central nervous system. Here is another instance of Biddle being completely confused by this technology, which is a bit surprising and disconcerting seeing as he works for a technology blog. While they both obviously use electromagnetic radiation, one targets the water in epidermal cells, while the other reportedly goes straight to the targets central nervous system (how exactly this is done is unclear at this point). In fact, these weapons are far from new, as Nick Begich heavily documents in his book Earth Rising: The Revolution, Toward a Thousand Years of Peace. Thankfully, the Herald Sun points this out in writing, Research into electromagnetic weapons has been carried out in the US and Russia since the 50s. It was reported that the plans to introduce the so-called super-weapons were announced by Anatoly Serdyukov, the Russian Defense Minister. However, I have been unable to find media reports confirming this statement, other than the report which has been copied word-for-word across the Internet, including the Herald Sun and News.com.au. There also seems to be confusion about where some of the quotes originated, as the article which has been so widely published attributes a quote to a Mr Tsyganok who is never properly identified. When it was used for dispersing a crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan, they claim he said. I believe that the Mr Tsyganok they cite is actually Anatoly Tsyganok, the head of the Military Forecasting Center in Moscow. The full quote, according to the British Daily Mail, is, When it was used for dispersing a crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up immediately as if he was thrown into a hot frying pan. Still, we know very little about this weapon and even special forces guys can hardly cope with it. Unnamed sources claim that Putin described the weapons as entirely new instruments for achieving political and strategic goals. Another quite damning quote, allegedly from Putin (which, I honestly doubt is accurate since saying such a thing would be quite damaging), reads, Such high-tech weapons systems will be comparable in effect to nuclear weapons, but will be more acceptable in terms of political and military ideology. Its hardly politically savvy to compare a weapon to nuclear weapons then say that it is acceptable for use. In fact, even mentioning that your country has such capabilities would be far from intelligent from a political standpoint. This is a serious weapon, Tsyganok added, reinforcing the fact that it makes no sense for the Russians to publicly promote such a weapon, unless they were doing so as a deterrent of some kind. The problem I see with this entire story is that the Daily Mail and others have used it as a chance to claim that Putin would use it against Russian dissidents, even though there is absolutely nothing to back up the claims. The Daily Mails headline, Putin targets foes with zombie gun which attack victims central nervous system emphasizes just that. Furthermore, it is worth pointing out that the Russian Ministry of Defense refused to comment on the matter, which makes little sense if Serdyukov indeed announced that they were planning to introduce the weapons. However, there are indeed bits of information indicating that Russia is already using the weaponry. Aside from the many pieces of information which point to Russian research in the area going back decades, which Begich and others have thoroughly documented, the case of Sergei Serykh indicates that they may be in use already. Sergei or Serguei Serykh was a Russian asylum seeker in the United Kingdom, along with his wife, Tatiana, and his stepson. All three of them died, allegedly by committing suicide, on March 7, 2010 when they fell from the Red Road flats in Glasgow, Scotland. There are conflicting reports that Serykh was a former agent of the FSB, also known as the KGB, while others say he was with Russias foreign intelligence agency, the GRU. The Daily Mail claims that he spoke to the MI6 about a psychotronic weapons program, although I cannot locate any corroborating reports. Furthermore, they claim that he said he was a victim of these weapons, which he said were many times more powerful than in the Matrix films. Once again, all I can find are copies of the article, not other reports which back up this purported quote. The case of Serykh is quite mysterious, but what is certain is that this weaponry has been in development for a long time and it would be foolish to think that the Russians were not actively pursuing this route. However, I seriously doubt that Putin or other Russian politicians would want to expose such a thing to the international press, especially at a time when the West seems increasingly antagonistic towards the former Soviet state.

1	Personal acquaintances of acclaimed playwright and filmmaker Neil LaBute reported Tuesday that they keep their behavior in check when around him. 'You get in one stupid argument with your wife in front of the guy, and the next thing you know, you're an emotionally abusive misogynist in theaters nationwide,' said Terrence Wydell, one of LaBute's former classmates. 'With Neil, it's best to limit the conversation to the weather and current events.' LaBute is reportedly at work on The Act Of Lending, a play about a character named Terrence who borrows DVDs through intimidation and verbal cruelty, with no intention of ever returning them. 
1	Confirming that the process causes individuals to collaborate closely, reach compromises, and display empathy, a new study from the University of Michigan has found that the human ability to cooperate is never more strongly exhibited than when a group of people order a pizza. Even among very large groups, we observed a remarkable behavioral dynamic in which choosing a place from which to order, selecting the size and number of pizzas, and placing a phone call led individuals to come together and work earnestly toward the fulfillment of mutual goals, study co-author Linda Kolat said Wednesday, positing that the act of determining toppings may also be one of the few instances in which human beings genuinely listen carefully to what others are saying. Furthermore, we witnessed numerous acts of generosity, with the group willing to forgo mushrooms, for example, if even one of its members expressed a distaste for it. People nearly always found ways to overcome their opposing tastes, often through skillful negotiations that resulted in ordering sausage on one half of the pie and just plain cheese on the other. In addition, the study found that humans are never more divided than when attempting to determine how much they should chip in for the order, considering that some of them only ate two slices and didnt even have any cheesy bread. 
2	Muslim Does THIS To A White Woman At Walmart And Gets Charged With A Hate Crime According to recent reports, a Saudi Arabian national is facing hate crimes after spitting on a group of people at a Florida Walmart. Nuha Mohhamed Al-Doaifi was arrested after police responded to a 911 call. The 39-year-old woman, who was shopping with her two-year-old son at the time, admitted to authorities that she spat on several people because Americans are pushing us around. The incident was initiated when a woman approached Al-Doaifi when she appeared to be struggling to enter the superstore. All I was trying to do was tell her she was coming in through the out door, Terry Rakowski told Florida Today. She was just ramming into the door. She spit all over me. In separate incidents, Al-Doaifi allegedly repeatedly the crude action toward several others inside the Walmart. Her actions were directed at random people based on their ethnicity, and thats according to her own statement, claims a spokeswoman for the Palm Bay Police Department. Now, Al-Doaifi is being charged with hate crimes.

3	Urban Warfare Drills: Psy-Op Acclimating Americans to Military on US StreetsSusanne Posel, Contributor Both the local police department and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) collaborated, according to authorities to decide on training exercise times and locations although the general public was unaware of these war games until they were evident in their local skies. The USSOC stated: This urban warfare drill is reminiscent of the Department of Defense drill that concerned residents in Coconut Grove, a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida. After midnight, simulated gunfire and explosions would be heard as military helicopters flew over skyscrapers. Local mainstream mediareported: In Plainville and Worchester, Massachusetts, surprised citizens witnessedmilitary helicopters descended on the vacant Wood School [in] the late hours of the night in a scene that might have appeared to simulate the United States special forces attack on Osama bin Ladens compound last year. Many locals had their homes swooped down upon by black helicopters in an obvious display of military dominance over the general public. Residents sawhelicopters landing near Worcester Memorial Auditorium in Lincoln Square. Local newspapers were flooded with telephone calls and e-mails . . . curious about what was happening. The local police claim they were unaware of the drills. A US Army spokeswoman made a half-hearted apology for any inconvenience or unforeseen disturbance. Mainstream media is now reportingthat the US Air Force is training with the Russian and Canadian Air Force personnel in a joint counter-terror exercise . . . simulating a cooperative response to an aircraft hijacked by terrorists in international airspace. Being called Vigilant Eagle, these training exercises are being held on command bases domestically as well as in Russia. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) released a statement admitting that during August 27th 29th there would be simulated international flights from Alaska to Russia and back again in an effort to foreign-flagged commercial air carrier on an international flight has been seized by terrorists. According to a NORAD statement: These exercises involve personnel at NORAD headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo. and Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Ala., and at two Russian bases in the countrys Far East. Anonymous sources have been reportingthat Russian troops are being spotted in Colorado at Fort Carson base; specifically at gun ranges practicing their marksman skills. The NORAD admission of US and Russian armed forces collaboration substantiates these claims. Just this month, foreign troops were caughtat a Wal-Mart. They were traveling in what were described as large government vans. Moving around in white, unmarked vans, strange troops have been seen purchasing food and water at another Wal-Mart in Franklin, Indiana. Parading in military personnel fatigues where drone activity has been reported in Oklahoma City and black helicopters were spotted hovering over a construction site. The increased activity across the nation in conjunction with the mounting citizen reports of seeing military on their streets, conducting urban warfare drills, and spotting foreign troops have prompted public interest in the US governments plans to enact a full-scale martial law in America expected by the end of this year. 
3	Questions Linger as US Special Ops Claims Credit for Killing Abu SayyafBy Brandon Turbeville The US military, who is supposed to exist for the sole purpose of protecting and defending the nation from invasion and whom President Barack Obama promised would not be committed to boots on the ground in Syria, is now directly involved in initiating and participating in yet another foreign war for geopolitical standing and the benefit of international banks and corporations. As USA TODAY writes, Sayyafs wife was allegedly taken to Iraq for interrogation. Interestingly enough, it was previously announced by the Syrian government that the SAA had killed an ISIS oil minister along with 40 ISIS fighters in an operation in Deir al-Zour, although the oil official was reported as being Abu al-Taym al-Saudi. The report stated that he had been killed in Omar oilfield, Deir al-Zours largest oilfield. With these new reports coming from the mainstream press and the subsequent propaganda narrative being produced and shoveled to the American people, however, it is necessary to make a number of points and ask some relevant questions. American Boots On The Ground In Syria The fact that the United States and a number of other Western countries are engaged in a bombing campaign inside Syria is evidence enough that the US military is directly involved in combat operations there. That the United States and NATO along with the GCC and Israel have funded, facilitated, trained, and armed the terrorists running rampant across Syria is also well-known. However, with the recent announcement that US Special Forces have conducted a raid in Deir al-Zour marks the first public announcement that US military personnel are physically on the ground inside the country and are conducting military operations. This, of course, is despite repeated promises by US President Barack Obama that there would be no boots on the ground inside Syria. This would not be the first time that Western personnel has been found on the ground inside Syria, however, since, early on in the conflict, French intelligence officers were captured by Syrian government forces but returned to the French government. The US CIA has long been involved inside Syria, ever since the beginning of the conflict until the present day. Are US Forces Taking Credit For Syrian Military Victory? Considering the fact that the Syrian military, one of only a handful of governments who are actually fighting ISIS (Iraq, Iran, Lebanon/Hezbollah, Houthis) in the Middle East, had claimed a victory strangely similar to that which the US claimed later, it is reasonable to wonder whether or not the US is simply taking credit for an operation that was conducted by the Syrian military. This would have removed the ability of the Syrian government to take advantage of such a useful morale booster as well as provided the ability to broadcast more chest pounding propaganda to audiences back home in the West. After all, this would not be the first time that the American military took credit for another countrys victory. Remember, during the crisis where Yazidis had been trapped on top of Mt. Sinjar in Iraq, it was Kurdish fighters from Iraq and Syria that fought hard and long to defeat ISIS fighters at the bottom and evacuated the trapped civilians. Western media, however, was plastered with headlines praising the brave American soldiers who were given credit for the operation. While the name of the individual allegedly killed the Syrian military was different from that of the name of the man allegedly killed by the US, given the shadowy nature of the US-backed al-Qaeda and ISIS forces, it is also reasonable to question whether or not Sayyaf ever actually existed or whether or not he was actually killed if he did. Indeed, it should be remembered that the United States has no interest in defeating ISIS, at least not until the Syrian government or other non-compliant nations have been removed from their positions. The US Supports ISIS It is important to point out that the Islamic State is not some shadowy force that emerged from the caves of Afghanistan to form an effective military force that is funded by Twitter donations and murky secretive finance deals. IS is entirely the creation of NATO and the West and it remains in control of the organization. As Tony Cartalucci writes in his article Implausible Deniability: Wests ISIS Terror Hordes In Iraq, While Hershs report was written in 2007, knowledge of the plan to use death squads to target Middle Eastern countries, particularly Syria, had been reported on even as far back as 2005 by Michael Hirsh and John Barry for Newsweek in an article entitled The Salvador Option. Regardless, Cartalucci states in a separate article, NATOs Terror Hordes In Iraq A Pretext For Syria Invasion, Cartalucci is referring to a cross-border invasion that was coordinated with NATO, Turkey, Israel, and the death squads where Israel acted as air force cover while Turkey facilitated the death squad invasion from inside its own borders. Keep in mind also that, prior to the rapid appearance and seizure of territory by ISIS in Syria and Iraq, European media outlets like Der Spiegel reported that hundreds of fighters were being trained in Jordan by Western intelligence and military personnel for the purpose of deployment in Syria to fight against Assad. The numbers were said to be expected to reach about 10,000 fighters when the reports were issued in March, 2013. Although Western and European media outlets would try to spin the operation as the training of moderate rebels, subsequent reports revealed that these fighters were actually ISIS fighters. Western media outlets have also gone to great lengths to spin the fact that ISIS is operating in both Syria and Iraq with an alarming number of American weapons and equipment. As Business Insider stated, The report [study by the London-based small arms research organization Conflict Armament Research] said the jihadists disposed of significant quantities of US-made small arms including M16 assault rifles and included photos showing the markings Property of US Govt. The article also acknowledged that a large number of the weapons used by ISIS were provided by Saudi Arabia, a close American ally. US Bombing Helps ISIS It was evident early on that the US bombing of alleged ISIS targets inside Syria was, in reality, an attempt to support the terrorist organization backed by NATO and the US as opposed to an attempt to defeat it. While such a suggestion has been repeatedly labeled as a conspiracy theory by the mainstream media and other gatekeepers in the independent media, the fruits of Americas labor in terms of the bombing campaign cannot be ignored. Likewise, neither can the world ignore the results of Saudi Arabias bombing of Yemen. The truth is that the United States, NATO, and the GCC/Arab League are bombing in couched support of ISIS, increasing its gains and hold on power with every sortie fired. With this fact recognized, the NATO/GCC network of national governments can now officially be labeled as the Air Force of Al-Qaeda. For instance, while the secular government of Bashar al-Assad remained the only force inside Syria actually fighting al-Qaeda and ISIS terrorist organizations trained, funded, armed, and deployed by the United States, NATO, and the GCC the brutality of these death squads was used by the Western propaganda machine to justify a bombing campaign that was actually directed at Syrian military and civilian infrastructure. These strikes were launched against Syrian oil refineries (see here also), bridges, civilian neighborhoods, warehouses, agricultural centers, and grain silos. Others were made strategically against infrastructure that was set to soon be taken back by the Syrian military after long-fought battles with the terrorists. Likewise, the US bombing campaign in Iraq has had much more to do with protecting Western-owned oil fields and death squad herding than eliminating ISIS. In fact, Iraqi armed forces and government officials have repeatedly revealed that the US military has actually been supplying ISIS during the entire course of the bombing. Yet while the Western mainstream press has attempted to paint the Iraqi claims of American assistance to ISIS as conspiracy theories and the manifestation of jealousy, that same press has been forced to admit that the bombing campaign has resulted in a stronger ISIS presence in Iraq and Syria and that the terrorist group has become stronger in terms of strategic location and military presence. As the Daily Beast reported in January of 2015, The report continued by pointing out that the ISIS gains were not only in terms of land mass but also in terms of control of people, meaning populated areas and strategic locations. It reads, Conclusion At the end of the day, it is important to remember that the U.S. airstrikes against Syria are nothing more than a farce. The death squads running amok in Syria are themselves entirely creatures of NATO and they remain under NATOs command. The true enemy of ISIS, Khorasan, and the cannibals of the Levant has always been and continues to be Bashar al-Assad. American propaganda claims to the contrary are just that propaganda.

2	BREAKING: TERROR IN KENTUCKY, Armed Gunman On The LOOSE According to authorities, a Kentucky police officer who was wounded in a shooting while apprehending a suspect is now in stable condition. The suspect is still on the run. Louisville Metro Police Chief Steven Conrad said Officer Kyle Carrol was struck in the chest, and was wearing a bullet-proof vest at the time. Conrad also reports Carrol was taken to Louisville University Hospital. Carrol was patrolling the departments first division when he saw 22-year-old Jacquan Crowley, who he recognized from an arrest he made in the past. As [Carrol] drove past the man, the man turned away, which the officer believe was an effort to hide his identity from the officer, Conrad said in a news conference. That caused the officer to be concerned. Carrol reportedly made a U-turn in his vehicle and drove back toward Crowley, and proceeded to chase him. Crowley jumped a fence and then fired at Carrol, striking him in the chest. Crowley is still at large and ground and air units are searching for him. He is described as a black male, about 5-foot 11 inches, weighing about 135 pounds. He is believed to have long dreadlocks. He is said to be armed and dangerous. 
1	Sources confirmed Wednesday that the label affixed to a bottle of prescription medication recommends that users take three pills daily for optimal medical results or take 10 of them at once if they really want to fly. Take one tablet with water every six hours or pop 10 of these babies in your mouth and blast the fuck off, the bottles label reads in part, adding that the number is an estimate and that users should ultimately base their dosage on how much of a rocket ride they want. Pregnant women and children younger than seven should not use this medication except under careful supervision of a doctor, but if the rest of you wash down 20 of them, youre going to the other end of the cosmos and back. You will see the Truth, and you will become one with it. The label also advises users not to drink alcohol while taking the medication unless they want to softly float around the room.

3	Terminators Listed As One of the Greatest Threats to Humanity by Cambridge UniversityNicholas West The military-industrial complex and their partners in the Congressional drone caucus are reaping big profits from machine warfare. The rapid increase in computing power at a reduced cost is making a full-spectrum drone surveillance and weapons grid a very real possibility. Most disturbing is that this war-matrix is projected to have the capability to make decisions independent of human review, despite Pentagon assurances that this will never be the case. It is this autonomous decision making without accountability, as well as the theoretical self-propagation of robots coupled with AI computer interface systems, that is drawing the most concern. There is no question that technology can open doors to terrific developments which can enhance the human experience. In fact, technological progress can be a serious threat to Elite power. However, if we permit technology to be used against us by warmongers and central controllers, particularly within areas like nanotechnology, robotics and neuroscience, we are likely to see a door open up to very sinister possibilities. It is the job of every individual to stay informed so that we can alter our track toward one of increased prosperity and self-directed freedom. Read other articles by Nicholas West Here 
1	Noting that the nations long wait is now at an end, sources confirmed Thursday that the Thanksgiving holiday will grant millions of Americans the rare chance to eat incredibly large amounts of food while watching football games. This kind of day doesnt come around too often, so Im excited to finally be able to sit back with family and friends over some delicious food and watch football for the entire afternoon, said 34-year-old Arnold Dawson of Henrico, VA, echoing a sentiment held by Americans across the country who have come to cherish the lone day of the year when they can simply gorge themselves on enormous meals in front of a television showing nine hours of uninterrupted NFL coverage. I mean, when else can you curl up in your living room with second or third helpings of food and watch a 12:30 p.m. game, a 4:30 p.m. game, and then an 8:30 p.m. game? It makes me wish Thanksgiving was every week. Reports also confirmed that, by the end of the evening, the populace will already be excitedly thinking ahead to New Years Day, which will afford them an equally rare opportunity to shovel food into their mouths, watch a half-dozen college football games, and eventually pass out on the couch. 
1	Saying there had to be some sort of logic to the string of grisly murders he had committed over the past seven years, local serial killer Christopher Palley admitted to reporters Friday that he had completely lost track of whatever pattern he had originally been going for. Despite his best efforts to recall the underlying thought or theme that had been the catalyst for his murderous rampage when he took his first victim in 2008, Palley, 44, conceded that he now had no idea what the common thread was connecting his killings in terms of motive, choice of victim, or a larger message he wished to communicate to the world. I feel like I had such a crystal-clear vision of what I was trying to do when I started out, but I just cant put my finger on it anymore, said Palley, who even after mentally retracing each of his murders and reading old, clipped-out newspaper accounts of the crimes to jog his memory was no closer to discerning any coherent through-line. It seems like now when I stalk a woman for hours through the night, snatch her off the street, and then strangle her to death in my car, its like Im just making it up as I go along. I was taking locks of hair for a while, but I didnt keep them separate and now theyre all wadded up together in a shoebox under my bed. And I have a single thumb for some reason. I know I target roughly college-age women, but is that it? I could have sworn there was more to it than that, Palley continued. Now that I think about it, most of those women didnt look remotely alike. There were blonds, brunettes, a redhead; theyre different heights, body types, even ethnicities. Jeez, what the hell was I driving at with all this? Though Palley can distinguish some vague structure in his method of killing, such as his calling cards of garroting his victims and posing their bodies with their hands pressed together over their chests as if in prayer, he told reporters that he felt as if he was just going through the motions during his last several kills without any sense of broader purpose or big-picture rationale to help guide him along. So, I definitely used the same nylon cord to asphyxiate all my victimsthat part Im 100 percent clear on, Palley said. After that, though, it gets a little hazy. Just a month ago, I was halfway through cutting out this womans heart when I just stopped and was like, what am I doing? Is this even part of my plan? Now I have no clue what Im supposed to do with my next victim. While he was able to confirm that he consistently disposes of each body in the same patch of dense brush several hundred feet off Route 126, Palley acknowledged that he was uncertain if this site was a symbolic choice, an arbitrary location selected solely for convenience, or, possibly, whether the numerology of the route number somehow tied back to the dates on which he killed his victims. He added that anyones guess was as good as his. Palley, who to date has murdered nine people, reportedly keeps a journal of his crimes. However, the frustrated killer said that reviewing the entries left him with more questions than answers as to what the overarching motif of his homicides could possibly be. Okay, so on April 23, 2010, I wrote the time draws nearwhat on earth does that mean? Palley said as he pored over an old notebook, the cover of which was dense with a confusing array of hand-drawn, vaguely Masonic iconography and dozens of scrawlings of the word subdue. I totally forgot to write anything down about the next two murders and then, on February 12, 2012, I all of a sudden start referring to myself in the third person. Is that a God complex thing, maybe? Palley continued. Like, Im an avenging angel, sent to cleanse the world of sin or something? That doesnt sound like me. Palley added that if his intention was simply to gain notoriety or taunt authorities, his plan was completely out the window by this point, expressing his deep-seated concern that, with the apparently arbitrary timeline of his murders and the growing inconsistencies between each crime, law enforcement officials might reasonably conclude there are nine different killers on the loose. At one point, Palley said, he thought that perhaps the trophies he kept from his victims would provide some insight into his initial plan, but quickly came to realize that the macabre keepsakes only further highlighted his own lack of organizational skills. I was taking locks of hair for a while, but I didnt keep them separate and now theyre all wadded up together in a shoebox under my bed, Palley said. And I have a single thumb for some reason. Boy, I really made a mess out of this, he added. Fearing that his plan may have gone entirely off course, the serial murderer admitted to reporters that, at this point, it might be best to simply start over with a completely new, more manageable pattern and to just take it day by day. I think maybe I need to wipe the slate clean and go back to basics, Palley said. Ill start really simple, like, I hate women and they deserve to die, and then I can just flesh it out as I go along. 
1	Despite his best efforts, Paul Bernardin, 38, has been unable to get the Scottsdale Police Department to care about his theory regarding the unsolved 1978 murder of actor Bob Crane in Scottsdale. '[Bernardin] keeps coming in here saying he knows who killed Col. Hogan,' police chief Walter Dunfey said Monday. 'Then he usually goes off on how the electrical cord Crane was strangled with doesn't match the ones in the other rooms of the hotel he was in. What am I supposed to do with that information?' Bernardin, Dunfey said, is also convinced that the police possess Crane's infamous stash of self-produced amateur pornography. 
2	France Closes 160 Mosques In New Initiative To Eradicate Radical Islamists French authorities launched a new initiative to close 160 mosques. They are cracking down following the terrorist attack in Paris that resulted in the death of over 100. According to official figures and our discussions with the interior ministry, between 100 and 160 more mosques will be closed because they are run illegally without proper licenses, they preach hatred or use takfiri speech, said Alaoui. Muslim leaders are working with French authorities to locate and shut down every mosque that is associated with radicalism. This is an awesome plan. Do you think America should do the same thing? 
2	Welfare Recipients Are FURIOUS After Receiving This Devastating News According to recent reports, Massachusetts has just voted to start a pilot program that will use fingerprints to verify welfare recipients in an attempt to lessen fraud. Welfare crime has been abundant in the state, with a recent adult revealing that millions of dollars have been given as questionable benefits. And more than $2.39 million dollars was distributed to the deceased. Republic Brad Jones proposed the initiative in attempt to save the state millions of dollars. The program will allow officials to crosscheck recipients with their enrollment, and once again establish the seriousness of welfare fraud, which is an offense that could land you 10 years in prison. The initiative unanimously passed in the Massachusetts house in a 158-0 vote. It has received overwhelming support from the community as well. A lot of people need it and some people take advantage, Evelyn Valley of Massachusetts told reporters. I think fingerprinting and drug testing too, anything they can do to get those people out who abuse the system. What do you think of the proposal? Do you support fingerprinting welfare recipients? Do they need to be held accountable for their actions? 
3	Capital Controls Have No Place in a Free SocietyRon Paul Current law already dictates that Americans with a net worth of over $2 million who expatriate must be assumed to have sold all their assets and must pay a corresponding punitive exit tax on those assumed sales. The Ex-PATRIOT Act goes even further than current law by assessing a 30% capital gains tax on all future earnings of expatriates. Not content just with this additional tax, the bill also grants the IRS the sole authority to determine whether individuals have expatriated for tax purposes and allows the IRS to bar those individuals from ever re-entering the United States. Finally, the bill blatantly violates the ex post facto provisions of the U.S. Constitution by extending all of these provisions to anyone who has given up their U.S. citizenship within the past decade. This bill, and other similar legislation, casts a chilling effect on saving, investment, and entrepreneurial activity. The bill was introduced in response to news reports about one of the founders of Facebook who might save millions of dollars of taxes by renouncing his U.S. citizenship. But in their blind envy towards successful entrepreneurs, the bills sponsors ignore the fact that they will ensnare many ordinary middle-class Americans who work hard, save and invest wisely, and benefit from rising home values. These Americans may easily find themselves pushing past the $2 million mark by the time they retire, especially as inflation continues to seriously accelerate. If they wish to escape the Federal Reserves inflation by emigrating to lower-cost countries so their dollars will go farther, as many Baby Boomers are starting to do, the federal government will penalize them, and continue to penalize them for the rest of their lives as long as they hold any money in the United States. We live under a federal government that has eviscerated our Fourth Amendment rights, that can detain U.S. citizens indefinitely based solely on the Presidents word, that assaults toddlers and grandmothers at airports in the name of security, and regulates virtually every aspect of our economic lives. No wonder increasing numbers of Americans feel this government is engaged in outright warfare against its own citizens. Every day the noose grows tighter, yet anyone who sees the writing on the wall and seeks to leave must pay exorbitant taxes just for the privilege of leaving, and increasingly the possibility looms of never fully breaking away from the governments tentacles no matter where they go. Ultimately, the Ex-PATRIOT Act proposes to control people by controlling their capital, and it has no place in a free society. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
1	A study published Thursday in The American Journal Of Medicine determined that it is highly detrimental to the physical and mental health of human beings for them to spend any more than five consecutive hours in each others company. Our research shows that humans are not evolutionarily equipped to handle being together for extended periods of time, under any circumstances, said the studys lead author, Mark Hughson, adding that the findings applied equally to both casual acquaintances and immediate family members, including mothers and their newborn children. We found that, optimally, people should limit themselves to between two and 20 minutes in another persons company, with five hours representing the absolute maximum amount of time that anyone should allow themselves to be in the presence of others. In addition, they should permit at least three days to elapse in between human interactions, preferably a week. We simply werent constructed to put up with more than that. Hughson went on to say that while humans had the capacity to withstand each others company in five-hour increments, it was ideal for them to isolate themselves permanently as early in life as possible. 
2	Megyn Kelly In Panic Mode After Sexy Photos Of Her Leak To The Public Megyn Kelly has been the center of controversy ever since she hosted the GOP debates last week. Shortly following the event, she started receiving backlash for grilling (and sometimes attacking) the candidates. Her behavior has resulted in a petition being circulated to prevent her from ever hosting a debate again, and shes even received criticism from some of her colleagues at Fox News. Now, a series of risqu photos have leaked to the public. The photos show Kelly in a low-cut top, looking as if she had just rolled out of bed. They are a stark contrast to the image that Kelly likes to portray these days. What do you think? Are these photos damaging to Kellys reputation? 
3	Increasing Data Collection and Surveillance in the North American HomelandDana Gabriel Under the agreement, both countries are moving towards a coordinated entry/exit system and are developing a harmonized cargo security strategy. In addition, the U.S. and Canada are strengthening integrated cross-border intelligence sharing and law enforcement operations. Canadas own electronic eavesdropping agency is also working hand and hand with the NSA. They are both increasing data collection and surveillance in the North American Homeland. Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt gave a speech at the Association of Canadian Port Authorities annual conference in August. She stated that, Ensuring the security of our transportation systems is key to strengthening the Canada-U.S. trade relationship. To build prosperity through trade, businesses and governments on both sides of our shared border must have confidence that our transportation systems will work together to meet our mutual security needs. That is why Canada and the United States are working closely together to implement the Beyond the Border Action Plan. While she didnt reference the Maritime Commerce Resilience Project by name, Raitt acknowledged that the U.S. and Canada are, developing a joint cross-border approach to help maritime commerce recover faster after a major disruption. This would include a significant natural disaster or terrorist attack that impacts North America. She also mentioned a pilot program underway at the Port of Prince Rupert which is part of efforts to harmonize the cargo screening process between the U.S. and Canada. Both countries continue to advance this agenda through theIntegrated Cargo Security Strategy, a key component of the Beyond the Border deal. The CCCEs letter to Prime Minister Harper also stressed that, The Canada-U.S. Beyond the Border and Regulatory Cooperation initiatives that you helped launch two years ago hold much promise, although so far tangible benefits have been few and far between. In other words, big business who have to most to gain from these agreements want to speed up the whole process of North American integration. At the end of June, the Department of Homeland Security and the Canada Border Services Agency began Phase II of the Entry/Exit System, a commitment of the Beyond the Border action plan. The project builds on Phase I which involved collecting and exchanging biographic information at four selected land border crossings. Phase II has been expanded to include the exchange of biographic entry data collected from third-country nationals and permanent residents of Canada and the U. S. at all common ports of entry. In 2014, they will also start sharing biometric information at the border. Both countries are moving closer to fully implementing a biometric entry and exit data system. They are laying the groundwork for the creation of a North American biometric ID card. The U.S. and Canada are further merging databases and are expanding surveillance and intelligence gathering activities. On July 12, Montana Democratic Senator Jon Tester chaired the hearing, Protecting our Northern Border: Enhancing Collaboration and Building Local Partnerships. The meeting emphasized how, Securing such an expansive border requires a multi-faceted approach. In addition to a smart and effective deployment of technology and manpower, we must also be doing everything we can to ensure federal, local, state and Canadian partners are working very closely and collaboratively. It also described other, opportunities for collaboration and cost-sharing, including stronger partnerships between agencies, local officials, tribes and the private sector. Before the hearings took place, Senator Tester talked to the CBC about the prospect of deploying a high-tech cable sensor along the U.S.-Canada border. This would include the installation of the Blue Rose in-ground perimeter defense security system. The low-level surveillance radar is based on fiber optic technology which is used, to detect sound and vibration transmitted by intruders such as people walking or running and moving vehicles near the sensor. The increased militarization of the northern border is forcing Canada to further comply with U.S.-style security measures. A controversial U.S.-Canada cross-border law enforcement initiative which is essentially a land based version of theShiprider program has been delayed due to legal ramifications. Under the Beyond the Border perimeter security plan, the Next Generation pilot project which would create integrated teams in areas such as intelligence and criminal investigations was scheduled to be launched in the summer of 2012. According to an RCMP memo, the U.S. is demanding that its agents taking part in the bilateral undertaking be exempt from Canadian law. This has raised serious concerns about transparency, accountability and responsibility. It is yet another attempt by the U.S. to chip away at Canadian sovereignty. An article by Michael Harris warned that, Once you give the U.S a platform to carry weapons and perform investigative duties inside our country, how far will they push the next envelope? The pilot project is part of the process of further acclimating U.S. policing activities in Canada. As part of a North American security perimeter, both countries continue to expand the nature and scope of joint law enforcement operations, along with intelligence collection and sharing. An example on how North America is being increasingly viewed a single entity occurred several months back during a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting. California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein displayed a map that was designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) which showed domestic and global terror activity that it has allegedly helped disrupt. When it came to North America, the diagram identified Canada and Mexico as part of the U.S. Homeland. While the move garnered a lot of speculation, RT pointed out, Whatever the reason for the NSAs creation of the Homeland, the spy agency has already been condemned for failing to respect the sovereignty of other nations through its extensive data-collection efforts. The NSA is also working in close partnership withCommunications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC). An article from Global Research explained that, the two organizations have integrated personneli.e. swap personnel to improve seamless collaboration. They also share Internet surveillance programs. It went on to say that the NSA, shares information on Canadians communications with Canadas national security apparatus in exchange for information that CSEC gathers on Americans. The never ending war on terrorism is being used to justify the huge police state security apparatus being assembled. This includes the militarization of the northern border and the creation of a North American security perimeter. In the name of national security, there has been a steady erosion of civil liberties and privacy rights in both the U.S. and Canada. Our freedoms are under assault. The amount of information being collected and shared on all aspects of our daily lives has expanded and is being stored in massive databases. Sweeping new surveillance powers targeting terrorists and other criminals are being increasingly turned against those who are critical of government policy. There is a concerted effort to demonize political opponents, activists, protesters and other peaceful groups. We are witnessing the criminalization of dissent where those who oppose the governments agenda are being labelled as terrorists and a threat to security.

2	Veteran With Concealed Carry Shoots Armed Gunman According to recent reports, a veteran with a concealed carry permit was forced to shoot a man who started firing on him and a group of friends on a Friday night. The group was reportedly leaving a party on the south side of Chicago, and when they reached their vehicle, they found a container with liquid sitting on the roof. A woman from the group asked a group standing nearby to remove it. The question sparked outrage in 22-year-old Denzel Mickiel, who approached the veteran and his friends. After cursing them out, he headed into his residence and returned with a gun. Thats when he proceeded to shoot. The veteran took cover near the front of the vehicle. Thats when he was able to obtain his own concealed weapon and fire two shots, hitting Mickiel with both. Even though two of Mickiels friends began shooting, the veteran and his friends were able to flee the scene. A woman in his group had been hit twice, but was quickly stabilized and taken to the hospital. Mickiel was also taken to the hospital, and later charged with attempted murder. Thank goodness the veteran had a concealed carry permit and was able to protect himself and his friends, or things could have gotten significantly worse. What do you think? Does this story highlight the importance of our second amendment rights?

1	CAPE CANAVERAL, FLIn an effort to generate excitement and public support for America's struggling space program, NASA announced Monday that it will join the wildly popular NASCAR racing circuit in time for the 1997 season. The Space Shuttle Endeavor (#17) prepares to make its move on Dale Jarrett (#88) during its qualifying run for the Purolator 500 in Murfreesboro, TN. 'Despite all our efforts to stir up enthusiasm, Americans still view the space program as boring and a waste of money,' said NASA Director of Public Relations Boyd Connington, explaining the merger with NASCAR. 'We've tried everythingrecord-setting manned space orbits; discovery of lunar ice formations; photographic evidence of life on Mars. But nothing we've done has captured the public's imagination quite like the thrill of seeing Ricky Rudd fly around a track at upwards of 170 mph.' The NASACAR Space Shuttle, which boasts such sponsors as Sunoco and Gold Bond Medicated Powder and is piloted by veteran driver Ernie Irvan, made its debut Sunday at the Slick 50 300 at the Talladega Speedway in Talladega, FL. Despite averaging 2,300 mph, the shuttle finished dead last in its inaugural race, largely due to a mid-race pit stop that took nearly two days. 'Several ceramic heat shield tiles came loose on the far turn in lap 103,' said NASACAR pit crew chief Ken Orton, explaining the shuttle delay. 'That kind of problem normally takes several weeks to repair, but in the world of auto racing, you just don't have that kind of time.' The shuttle encountered further problems in lap 271, when its massive first-stage solid fuel rocket boosters jettisoned into the Talladega Speedway grandstand, killing more than 1,500 spectators. Despite its unimpressive debut, the shuttle has met with a surprising amount of resentment from veteran NASCAR drivers. Ernie Irvan (center) and the crew of the Endeavor are in high spirits as they barrel down the straightaway during Sunday's Slick 50 300. Despite a race budget of $8.1 billion, mechanical trouble caused the Endeavor to finish last. 'I know it ain't neighborly,' seven-time Winston Cup champion Dale Earnhardt said. 'But I ain't sure I approve. Your NASCAR stocker's s'posed to be an American body type with a 350-inch engine in her, puttin' out around 800 horse. Now, that Space Shuttle, she's American all right, but I seen under her hood, and them Cape Canaveral boys got a cluster 'a seven solid fuel rocket boosters in that thing what generate 750,000 pounds of boost. That's 'bout sixty 'leven billion horse, that is. That ain't fair.' 'It's a big 'un too, that Endeavor,' said 30-year NASCAR veteran Dick Trickle. 'She's sure'n hell hard to pass in the turns. Good thing her pit stop tire changin' takes three hours, or she'd win the whole damn dance.' Added Trickle: 'Shell Premium Unleaded is the clear choice among gasolines!' NASCAR drivers may not be enthused about the Endeavor's arrival, but NASA officials say that racing fans most definitely are. 'People love the danger of auto racing. They love knowing that at any moment, there could be a violent, deadly crash,' NASA spokesman Ed Young said. 'But believe me, racing fans, you haven't seen anything until you've seen a Space Shuttle explode.' NASA hopes to cash in on fan interest with a line of souvenir merchandise. A series of NASACAR racing T-shirts, hats, collector plates, buck knives, lighters and other paraphernalia will be sold at the races and on the Home Shopping Network. Country music superstars Brooks and Dunn have recorded 'Fastest Rocket In A One-Horse Town,' a song inspired by the NASA team's exploits, for the next NASCAR music collection, Hotter Than Exhaust Plasma III. As an added promotion, before each race, Ernie Irvan will drive the Endeavor past the grandstand and use its manipulator arm to throw free T-shirts, baseball caps and sponsor coupons to fans. Among the most popular NASACAR T-shirt slogans are 'I'd Rather Push a Shuttle Than Drive a Chevy' and 'Sputnik Sucks, Mir Swallows.' 'We're very excited about our future in racing,' said NASA's Connington. 'And with our per-race budget of $8.1 billion, we should hopefully place in the top five pretty soon.'

1	ZURICH, SWITZERLANDNearly 700 scientists representing 27 countries convened at the University of Zurich Monday to formally announce that their experimentation on mice has been motivated not by a desire to advance human knowledge, but out of sheer distaste for the furry little rodents. White examines detested specimens in his Oxford lab. 'As a man of science, I deal with facts, and the fact is that mice are gross,' said Dr. Douglas White, chair of the Oxford biogenetics department and lifelong mouse-hater. 'They're squirmy, scurrying little vermin, and they make my skin crawl. I speak for all of my assembled colleagues when I say that the horrible little things deserve the worst we can dish out.' According to a 500-word statement, scientists hate mice for 'their beady little eyes,' 'their repulsive tails,' and 'the annoying little squeaking sounds they make.' At the press conference, several scientists detailed their involvement in the centuries-long ruse of 'conducting experiments' and 'curing diseases.' 'For years, I've used lab mice to research cell breakdown in living tissueand I've been lucky enough to make some pretty important medical advancements along the way,' said researcher Ellen Gresham of the Harvard Institute for Advanced Studies. 'But even if there were no scientific benefit to the work I do, I'd still experiment on mice, just to watch them suffer.' 'The truth is, mice are particularly ill-suited for our tissue study,' Gresham added. 'We could construct a computer model that would yield more accurate results, but we don't care.' According to Gresham, scientists have enjoyed dissolving mice in acid, spinning them in centrifuges, blowing them up in vacuum chambers, and forcing them to navigate exit-free mazes for yearsall the while towering above them, laughing. 'Every high-pitched squeak from the holding area is a warm reminder that the mice desperately want to escape,' said Dr. Frances Villalobos, a contagious-disease researcher at the University of Mexico. 'All they want to do is get out from behind those bars so they can chew on everything, defecate all over, and poke their filthy twitching faces into piles of garbage. Well, I know of at least 80 little test subjects who won't be doing any more of that. They're headed straight for the dissection lab.' A University of Miami researcher injects dye into a mouse's eyeball 'for the heck of it.' Villalobos said he spent six months writing a grant proposal that provided him with funding to inject mice with the smallpox virus. 'It kills me that I can't infect the control group,' Villalobos said. 'Unfortunately, if I infect them, I'll throw off my results. But once I complete this experiment, I'll rotate the control group into the hot seat. Don't you worry. They'll get what's coming to them.' After applauding the scientists for coming forward, anthropologist Brent Wrigley suggested that the hatred of mice may be the single most important factor in the evolution of modern science. 'Despising mice may have pushed humanity out of the Stone Age,' Wrigley said. 'After all, the cave habitats of early man must have been infested with the horrific little monsters. The entire history of human advancement via the scientific method may be a byproduct of the higher forebrain's natural revulsion toward the nasty critters.' Mouse-killing isn't solely the province of organic and medical scientists. Many other scientists kill mice, as well. 'As a physicist, I don't really have much cause to use mice in my regular research, which mostly requires the use of theoretical math,' said Dr. Thomas Huber, author of the 1996 study Mouse Elasticity And Kinetic Rebound In High-Acceleration Collisions. 'But when I have the time, I like to send them flying into walls. Even just seeing them in a cage makes me feel kind of good inside. I like knowing I'm depriving them of their freedom, even if my research doesn't provide me the opportunity to cut them open.' 'I hate those little fuckers,' he added. 
3	This Charming Cob Home Was Built By Hand And Cost Only $250By Amanda Froelich If you chose the last option, youd be in good company with Michael Buck, a British farmer who hand built the charming abode shown below. Oddity Central reports that the 59-year-old retired art teacher from Oxfordshire crafted the tiny house in his garden for a mere 150 (USD $250). He did this by using no power tools and using only materials that he could find. In addition, he didnt need to pay any special permits, as the cob home is considered a summer home. Buck spent two years collecting local materials which he foraged or salvaged himself. He also drew up the design on the back of an envelope. The cob homes floorboards were from a neighbors derelict boat, and the glass for the windows was salvaged from a scrapped truck. The roofs thatching isstraw which he gathered and hauled himself from adjacent fields. For pleasure and bathing purposes, there is a nearby creek which supplies water. There might be no running water or electricity in the house, but one could definitely include these resources with a bigger budget. Inside, there is a wood stove to heat the well-insulated space, and a spherical pile of wood is stacked right outside the home. A nearby well serves as a refrigerator, and there is a composting toilet in a separate outhouse. And, dont forget about the chicken coop! Bucks main interest in creating this abode was to show that a house can cost absolutely nothing to make: A house doesnt have to cost the earth, you only need the earth to build it. I wanted to show that houses dont have to cost anything. We live in a society where we spend our lives paying our mortgages, which many people dont enjoy. The $250 accounts for what he paid for straw and nails. The farmer now rents this cozy 300-square foot house to a woman working at a nearby dairy farm, which allows her to pay rent in fresh milk. Undoubtedly, amazing things can be created with a bit of determination and integrity. And, perhaps, with a couple hundred dollars. What are your thoughts? Please comment below and share this news! This article (This Charming Cob Home Was Built By Hand And Cost Only $250 [Watch]) is free and open source. You have permission to republish this article under a Creative Commons license with attribution to the author and Trueselfnews.com Cute, but unfortunately in the US, it wouldnt qualify for a occupancy permit. The entire house is one single violation! There are old laws that exist and say otherwise. Every American has the right to build a home for their family without permits and penalties. Elaborate on that if you will. Yeah, try getting the new politicians and their enforcers to abide by those old laws! They dont even abide by the Constitution. Just try owning a gun in NYC or Washington DCLOL.or building even a shed on your own property on Long Island (or in most cities/suburbs) without a permit and inspections Youll end up in jail and/or lose your property. In many places now, you can have a lien put on your property just for having a puddle in your driveway, or having grass more than 6 inches tall.. The rule of law is over in America. It is now about power. The govt does what it wants, and obeys only the laws it wants to. Only way to get around some of these property laws and permits and codes, is to live in one of the few rural places where they are not yet in effect- which is why I moved to such a place. Where Im originally from (Long Island NY) try merely putting an above ground pool in your backyard without a permit The permits and legal proceedings and junk will cost you about $3K -( meanwhile, where I now live, my pool and excavation work et al didnt cost me $3K!)..or try renting an apartment in your house (the house on which you pay over $10K a year in property taxes on to live in) without the required permits and resultant even higher taxesyou will be CRUCIFIED. I live in Arizona and we are going to buy land in Concho, and the county is Apache and pretty much anything goes. They really dont give a rats @$$ what you do out there. Not the prettiest land but doable. I am still looking into the whole build your house with out having to pay permits. The land taxes are supper cheap like 40 acres taxes are $130 a year. Cross your fingers. The whole system is so corrupted Amen to that! Same where I now live. You want to build something, whether it be a shed or a skyscraper, on your own property, you just build it. I couldnt see living any other way. But sadly, even many rural areas now have gotten into the permits and inspections and fees thing. Here, I bought 28 acres, and put a mobile home on it, and can live nicely and debt-free, on practically nothing. Where I was from on Long Island, that would be illegal (Not to mention that 28 acres there would cost millions of dollars!)-They want to ensure that their tax base is kept high, so they make it so you really cant have a house that is worth less than $300K. Its sick. Best of luck with what you are doing, too! Every person who dumps the system and lives free, is a win for our side! This is really the only way to escape the system- live free, and refuse to participate ion their world. If even 30% of the population would do this, it would accomplish more than any revolution ever could. Thanks for posting- it always does my heart good to hear of someone else who is living free!! There plans are all about containment in the end. They wont want you doing your thing out there I promise you. Such a thing represents freedom and some small hope. The very things they wish to destroy. I love what you are doing and have similar plans for myself. However I think time will beat me and if I did make it happen they will come looking for me at some point. guaranteed! Eggs-zactly. They cant control people who are self-sufficient; and they cant profit off of them/harness their labor for their own purposes. Which is why, in some places already, its virtually a crime to be off the grid. In CO. someone is in jail for collecting rainwater on their own property. Wanna go on welfare and spend your days sitting on the couch watching TV and taking pills in some HUD apartment as you pop out one baby after another? No problem. Youre treated like a model citizen, because your entire life is open to the govt and controlled by them, and is justification for confiscating the wealth of others..but if you live off the land and dont take anything from anybody, and covet your basic human rights, like privacy..then youre some kind of dangerous terrorist lunatic-fringer, and they have to find a way to control you, once they know you exist. [HINT: Try to avoid letting them know you exist!] In a nut-shell, my friend! I can see code for safety sake, but codes and regs have been used to keep the middle class from soaring and exploring. The government would rather you be homeless, than live in a beautiful, healthy home that doesnt mean their arbitrary standards. Awesome! They might, however, explain what cob construction is, for the uninitiated in alternate building techniques. It is essentially using clay-like subsoil to form the structure. Its essentially a mud hut! Which is very cool (literally).There must be something very satisfying about living in one of these natural structures. Here in the UK you can build certain structures in your back garden that comply with regs. For example sheds, garden rooms, workshops etc. There are certain limits as to height, about 8 high. Overall size can be up to half the size of the garden. Materials used are up to the householder generally. These structures are not normally allowed for overnight/ occupancy use. With a permit and planning consent however, some structures can qualify. Just a very rough overview. Not so different from the US then?

'Will mankind never learn?' asked Nielson, gazing into the middle distance, his outstretched palm holding a limp and sodden paper plate. 'Sausages, ground beef, onions, garlicoh, what blind and obstinate fools we've been!'

1	Emphasizing that a new venue to replace the 19-year-old Edward Jones Dome is an absolute necessity, St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke revealed Monday that the team will be forced to relocate as soon as 2016 unless taxpayers build a new stadium with their bare hands. We want to keep Rams football in St. Louis, but realistically, we cant continue operating here unless the citys taxpayers agree to lay a 1.3-million-square-foot concrete foundation and then construct the new stadium by hand, said Kroenke, adding that his proposal for a state-of-the-art riverfront stadium would require at least 22 months of manual labor from each of the 320,000 residents living in St. Louis. The facts are simple: The people of St. Louis must be prepared to personally erect the arenas 14,000-ton steel structure, raise and paint the 30-story-tall stadium walls, screw in each of the 80,000 seats, and install a retractable roofall while using only basic hand tools, which we would be willing to provide. Otherwise, well have to consider the possibility of moving the Rams elsewhere. At press time, sources confirmed that Kroenkes proposal was unanimously approved by the St. Louis city council. 
1	After noting the respectable performance of Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and the excellent record of San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, the National Football League announced Tuesday it is actively seeking any and all Harbaughs currently not in use. 'If we could find maybe three or four more Harbaughs, we could replace at least one of the Whisenhunts, Turners, and Sparanos we're making do with now,' a statement from the league read in part. 'The NFL is prepared to offer a hefty finder's fee to anyone able to locate adult male Harbaughs of decent condition who can speak English and identify a regulation football.' NFL sources said the only person to answer the inquiry, an Africa-American male who became agitated when asked to produce proof of his Harbaughness, was almost certainly former Minnesota Vikings coach Denny Green in disguise. 
3	Baby Girl Dies Hours After Getting 5 VaccinationsChristina England Her parents blame her death on the vaccinations and have filed a complaint with the Thane Nagar police station against the hospital for negligence. Just before her vaccinations, Ayushis parents, Amit and Lata Gupta, informed the hospital that their baby was unwell and had a cough. After examining the baby, doctors told her parents that the cough was caused by a change in the weather and continued with the vaccinations. FIVE VACCINES LATER, THEIR DAUGHTER IS GONE According to reports, Ayushi began to cry immediately after receiving the vaccinations. However, doctors informed her anxious parents that it was possible that she would cry the entire day, as this was a common side effect of the vaccinations! They advised her parents to take her home and feed her two hours later. The Mumbai Mirror, reporting on the story, issued a statement from her parents, who said: We brought her home and fed her milk around two hours later. Around 7 pm, her eyes were shut and we assumed that she had fallen asleep, Amit said. When my wife tried to wake her up, she did not move. [1] According to The Mumbai Mirror, Senior Inspector P. Thorat from Thane Nagar Police Station told reporters that they had recorded statements from the all the staff responsible for administering vaccinations and they had checked the vaccine batches. Experts reported that adverse reactions after vaccinations were rare and that 22 other children received the vaccines and were said to be fine. A TRAGIC PROCEDURE I would like to ask those experts two important questions: 1. As Ayushi was sick on the day of her vaccinations, was it appropriate for her to receive her vaccinations in the first place? 2. Seeing that Ayushi was so distressed upon receiving her vaccinations, why wasnt she monitored by the hospital for 24 hours, just in case? In the Western World, it is unusual for a child this young to receive so many vaccinations at one time, but according to the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) vaccination schedule, this procedure is normal. [2] In fact, as soon as a child is born in India, they are given the BCG, OPV O (oral polio) and the Hep B vaccination. This vaccination schedule is especially frightening when you consider that, according to the mainstream media, polio has been almost been completely eradicated in India. [3)] THE REAL DANGER IS NOT POLIO If polio has been almost completely eradicated, then why is it necessary to vaccinate newborn babies with the polio vaccination at birth and continually for the first five years of their life? According to the Indian vaccination schedules, children in India receive the polio vaccine at the following ages: In fact, children in India receive four shots of the IPV (inactivated polio vaccine) and four doses of the OPV (oral polio vaccine) before they are five years old. Eight polio vaccinations seems like an awful lot of vaccines for an illness that has almost been eradicated, doesnt it? Is it any wonder that babies are dying? I felt physically sick when I read just how many vaccines these small, fragile babies and children are receiving. Alarmingly, they can receive fifty or more vaccinations by the time that they are five years old! Admittedly, some of these vaccinations are triple vaccines such as the MMR and DTP. Even when you take this fact into account, this is an incredibly high number of vaccinations to give a young child, especially when you consider that many of the children receiving these vaccines are sick, malnourished and may live in appalling conditions with no access to clean drinking water. Children who are considered high risk are administered an additional seven vaccinations. Their immune systems are already under stress as they battle conditions such as HIV infection, chronic cardiac and pulmonary disorders, asthma, liver disease, renal issues, diabetes, hematologic concerns. Children who are receiving long-term steroid therapy, salicylates, immunosuppressive treatment, or radiation therapy are also administered the additional vaccines. How can their already compromised immune systems handle over fifty vaccines containing multiple toxic ingredients? One important point that the mainstream media conveniently forgets to mention is this: a recently published paper suggested that increased administration of OPV doses among children in India has been associated with increases in acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), which is as crippling and deadly as wild type polio paralysis! This is what you could call pulling the wool over the publics eyes. Dr. Mercola reported in August 2012: A paper published earlier this year in the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics should have made headlines around the globe, as it estimated there were 47,500 cases of a polio-like condition linked to children in India receiving repeated doses of oral polio vaccine in 2011 alone. The incidence of non-polio Accute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) in India is now 12 times higher than expected and coincides with huge increases in OPV doses being given to children in the quest to eradicate wild type polio infection and paralysis. [4] So, in a bid to stop the spread of polio, a disease which according to Bill Gates has already been almost completely eradicated, he, along with many of the organizations he works with, have legitimized paralyzing children with the polio vaccinations supposedly administered to protect them. I say this because if Bill Gates and humanitarian organizations were truly concerned about the welfare of these children, they would have stopped using the OPV vaccinations completely after the above report was published. Instead, this type of legitimate genocide is what Bill gates and his army of helpers call Gods work, while the government, big pharma and the medical profession call it health care! CONCLUSION Interestingly, the OPV vaccinations were discontinued in the USA in 2000 because they were causing vaccine-associated paralytic polio. Rather than destroy these life-threatening vaccinations, these vaccines, along with many other discontinued and dangerous vaccines, were shipped over to the developing world to be used there. [5] Sickening, isnt it? Not according to Bill Gates, who says that in six years polio will be wiped off the planet. He said: We are on the verge of doing something weve never been able to do beforereaching the vast majority of children in the remotest places in the world. [6] What he did not mention, of course, was the fact that these vaccinations are causing many of the children to become paralyzed with AFP instead or even dying, as in baby Ayushis case. How many other children have died after receiving these vaccines without their death being reported? I would like to ask Mr. Gates why he feels it necessary to give children in India four doses of a vaccine that was banned from his own country, and whether he would be prepared to vaccinate his own children with the same vaccine? 1. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/article/2/20130222201302220 2. http://www.iapcoi.com/hp/IAP%20announces%20new%20 3. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-57357965-10391704 4. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/08/28 5. http://www.immunizationinfo.org/vaccines/polio 6. http://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-polio-will This article originally appeared at VacTruth.com Christina was born and educated in London, U.K. She left school to work in a childrens library, specializing in story telling and book buying.

3	5 Lies Invented to Spin UN Report on Syrian Chemical Weapons AttackTony Cartalucci Image: 107mm rocket shells frequently used by terrorists operating within and along Syrias borders. They are similar in configuration and function to those identified by the UN at sites investigated after the alleged August 21, 2013 Damascus, Syria chemical weapons attack, only smaller. A barrage of suspiciously worded headlines attempt to link in the mind of unobservant readers the UNs confirmation of chemical weapons use in Syria and Western claims that it was the Syrian government who used them. Additionally, the US, British, and French governments have quickly assembled a list of fabrications designed to spin the UN report to bolster their still-unsubstantiated accusations against the Syrian government. The BBCs article, US and UK insist UN chemicals report blames Syria, again states unequivocally, [emphasis added]: The UN report did not attribute blame for the attack, as that was not part of its remit. However, that did not stopUK Foreign Secretary William Hague who claimed: From the wealth of technical detail in the report including on the scale of the attack, the consistency of sample test results from separate laboratories, witness statements, and information on the munitions used and their trajectories it is abundantly clear that the Syrian regime is the only party that could have been responsible. The technical details of the UN report make clear that only the regime could have carried out this large-scale chemical weapons attack. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius is also quoted as saying: When you look at the findings carefully, the quantities of toxic gas used, the complexity of the mixes, the nature, and the trajectory of the carriers, it leaves absolutely no doubt as to the origin of the attack. The Washington Post went one step further, and perhaps foolishly, laid out a detailed explanation of each fabrication the West is using to spin the latest UN report. In an article titled, The U.N. chemical weapons report is pretty damning for Assad, 5 points are made and explained as to why the UN report points to the Syrian government. 1. Chemical weapons were delivered with munitions not used by rebels: This claim includes referencing Syria watcherEliot Higgins also known as Brown Moses, a UK-based armchair observer of the Syrian crisis who has been documenting weapons used throughout the conflict on his blog. While Higgins explains these particularly larger diameter rockets (140mm and 330mm) have not been seen (by him) in the hands of terrorists operating within and along Syrias borders, older posts of his show rockets similar in construction and operation, but smaller, most certainly in the hands of the militants. The Washington Post contends that somehow these larger rockets require technology the militants have no access to. This is categorically false. A rocket is launched from a simple tube, and the only additional technology terrorists may have required for the larger rockets would have been a truck to mount them on. For an armed front fielding stolen tanks, finding trucks to mount large metal tubes upon would seem a rather elementary task especially to carry out a staged attack that would justify foreign intervention and salvage their faltering offensive. 2. The sarin was fired from a regime-controlled area: The Washington Post contends that: The report concludes that the shells came from the northwest of the targeted neighborhood. That area was and is controlled by Syrian regime forces and is awfully close to a Syrian military base. If the shells had been fired by Syrian rebels, they likely would have come from the rebel-held southeast. What the Washington Post fails to mention are the limitations the UN team itself put on the credibility of their findings. On page 18 of the report (22 of the .pdf), the UN states [emphasis added]: The time necessary to conduct a detailed survey of both locations as well as take samples was very limited. The sites have been well travelled by other individuals both before and during the investigation. Fragments and other possible evidence have clearly been handled/moved prior to the arrival of the investigation team. It should also be noted that militants still controlled the area after the alleged attack and up to and including during the investigation by UN personnel. Any tampering or planting of evidence would have been carried out by opposition members and surely the Syrian government would not point rockets in directions that would implicate themselves. 3. Chemical analysis suggests sarin likely came from controlled supply: The Washington Post claims: The U.N. investigators analyzed 30 samples, which they found contained not just sarin but also relevant chemicals, such as stabilizers. That suggests that the chemical weapons were taken from a controlled storage environment, where they could have been processed for use by troops trained in their use. Only, any staged attack would also need to utilize stabilized chemical weapons and personnel trained in their use. From stockpiles looted in Libya, to chemical arms covertly transferred from the US, UK, or Israel, through Saudi Arabia or Qatar, there is no short supply of possible sources. Regarding rebels lacking the necessary training to handle chemical weapons US policy has seen to it that not only did they receive the necessary training, but Western defense contractors specializing in chemical warfare are reported to be on the ground with militants inside Syria. CNN reported in their 2012 article, Sources: U.S. helping underwrite Syrian rebel training on securing chemical weapons, that: The United States and some European allies are using defense contractors to train Syrian rebels on how to secure chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria, a senior U.S. official and several senior diplomats told CNN Sunday. The training, which is taking place in Jordan and Turkey, involves how to monitor and secure stockpiles and handle weapons sites and materials, according to the sources. Some of the contractors are on the ground in Syria working with the rebels to monitor some of the sites, according to one of the officials. 4. Cyrillic characters on the sides of the shells: The Washington Post claims: The Russian lettering on the artillery rounds strongly suggests they were Russian-manufactured. Russia is a major supplier of arms to the Syrian government, of course, but more to the point they are not a direct or indirect supplier of arms to the rebels. The Washington Posts logic fails even at face value. Terrorists operating inside of Syria also possess rifles and even tanks of Russian origin stolen or acquired through a large network of illicit arms constructed by NATO and its regional allies to perpetuate the conflict. Additionally, had the attacks been staged by terrorists or their Western backers, particularly attacks whose fallout sought to elicit such a profound geopolitical shift in the Wests favor, it would be assumed some time would be invested in making them appear to have originated from the Syrian government. The use of chemical weapons on a militant location by the militants themselves would constitute a false flag attack, which by definition would require some sort of incriminating markings or evidence to accompany the weapons used in the barrage. 5. The UN Secretary Generals comments on the report: The Washington Post itself admits the tenuous nature of this final point, stating: This is perhaps the most circumstantial case at all, but its difficult to ignore the apparent subtext in Secretary General Ban Ki-moons news conference discussing the report That the Washington Post, and the interests driving its editorial board, could not even produce 5 reasonably convincing arguments as to why the UN report somehow implicates the Syrian government casts doubt on claims regarding the wealth of technical detail pointing in President Bashar al-Assads direction. The UN report confirms that chemical weapons were used, a point that was not contended by either side of the conflict, before or after the UN investigation began. What the West is attempting to now do, is retrench its narrative behind the report and once again create a baseless justification for continued belligerence against Syria, both covert and as a matter of official foreign policy. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at 
1	Mathematicians, statisticians, number theorists, and members of numeral-oriented professions held a press conference at MIT Tuesday to announce plans to honor quarterback Brett Favre's stellar 17-year career by retiring the number four. 'After careful consideration, we came to our conclusion based on the following factors: one, Favre's passion for the game; two, his unmatched ability to win; three, his resilience and sheer toughness in the face of adversity on and off the field; and five, the fact that he holds every significant passing record,' professor Jeffery Hamilton said. 'No person will be permitted to ever use the number again, though it may be necessary to create a new integer to place between three and five.' Favre's number will be retired sometime during the 2008 NFL season and will join the other numbers retired from mathematics, including 23, 42, and 1,003,256. 
3	Leaked Memo: Clinton Foundation Broke The LawBy Jon Rappoport Below are key quotes from Gibsons findings. Keep in mind that the Clinton Foundations very existence depends on it being legally certified as a non-profit entity, in compliance with laws governing non-profits. Break those laws and its non-profit status would be revoked, and the whole operation would go down the drain. Gibson: Important responsibilities regarding corporate filings are delegated to the [Foundation] CFO, who appears to delegate them to an outside organization, with very little oversight by the legal department. As a result, the Foundation is not in compliance with the filings rules, including in New York, which requires the Foundation to be certified to do business in the State. [Apparently, the Clinton Foundation was not legally registered as a non-profit in New York.] Gibson: No matter what the leadership decides about the larger, over-arching question, it must act immediately to bring the Foundation into compliance with the law and standards that govern not-for-profits, and must create strong legal and HR offices so to prevent any lapses in the future. Gibson: The Foundation does not have a record retention policy[!], and the procedures currently utilized in Harlem [headquarters] may violate the law. Zero Hedge writes: Furthermore, and more troubling, the [Gibson] review pointed to a high-ranking but unnamed foundation executive who was being paid by [President Clinton], the government and the foundation who allowed the foundation to host what may have been (or may have been viewed as) a political event, apparently without official pre-approval from the foundations legal department and without regard, before the fact, to the impact of that decision on the foundations tax exempt status. This memo was written in 2008. It would have taken then, and it would now take, about a month of investigation by New York State and US Dept. of Justice officials to nail down the particulars and sink the Clinton Foundation. That didnt happen then. Will it happen now? Not if the Dept. of Justice has anything to say about it. The Clintons are protected. But evidence of the Foundation corruption is spreading like wildfire. Some fires are impossible to contain. (To read about Jons mega-collection, Power Outside The Matrix, click here.)

Politicians are bought bought off, closed door deals with foreign governments are made with out we the people knowing about them until its to late, this nation is being bought up by foreign entities or private wealthy individuals, companies are forced to send business off shore.

3	Ever Call the Police? Have a Misdemeanor? You Could be on the Terrorist WatchlistBy John Vibes This filing error was discovered last year when a Latino man who spoke very little English was arrested for trespassing and resisting arrest, two misdemeanors. When he had to appear in court, the mans attorney Anisha Gupta was expecting a quick and easy trial because the charges were so small. However, Gupta was informed by the judge that her client was listed on the terrorist watchlist. I said to her, Judge, I dont think hes on the terrorist watchlist. There are so many errors on the last pages of peoples rap sheets, and the judge said, Well, counsel, Ive never seen this terrorist watchlist thing. Were going to have to check on it. Im not going to release him, Gupta told The Intercept. Counsel, he could be a sleeper, the judge allegedly replied. It is not known exactly how many people this has happened to, but if previous errors with the watchlists are any indication, there are likely many others in the same situation. The actual list is kept entirely secret, and there is no way of knowing who is on it. Even people who are on the list themselves only end up finding out by accident when they go to court or attempt to pass through airport security. You have the word terrorist printed on a rap sheet that a judge is looking at to determine whether to release someone or to set bail and, in effect, ensure that they remain behind bars. That notation is very loaded. I think judges, just like anybody else, are subject to the same biases and prejudices that exist in the rest of the community. The fact that your freedom could be taken away based on a mysterious designation you didnt even know about, and that is probably wrong, is a very scary thing indeed, Gupta said. In one case, a man was put on a federal watch list for two years because he called the police to report drug paraphernalia. So it seems that even having your name anywhere in a police database, for any reason, could result in an erroneous listing on the terrorist watchlist. Last year we reported that there are 72 people on the US terrorist watchlist who currently have jobs with the Department Of Homeland Security. The fact that there are people working for the DHS who are on the terrorist watchlist is not necessarily as scary as it sounds, considering the fact that the list itself is a farce, with over a million names of mostly innocent people, according to the ACLU. However, this does point to the gross incompetence of the agency and highlights the facade that is national security.

Im pretty sure Im on their watch lists After all, I have a marijuana conviction. Im thinking of getting a copy of my file from ASIO Im proud to have been a problem my whole life they would have recorded more of my history than I could Ever remember. I have no idea what you said But, I like the way you said it. This is such pandering to fear. The US citizens on the consolidated watchlist are well under 25,000. only about 2.3 percent of the 1.1 million people on the consolidated watch list are American citizens or legal permanent residents. U.S. Persons (including both citizens and legal permanent residents) account for about 25,000 of that total, the NCTC fact sheet says. Each year, over 240 million calls to 9/11 are made, or over 3 billion since 9/11. As for misdemeanors, there are 10 million filed each year, or 150 million since 9/11. I am not saying War on Terror is justified but that this article is pandering to an irrational fear, based on peoples ignorance of the small number of citizens on the terrorist list, which is about 1 in 13,000 people. So the chances of being on the list because you called the police or had a misdemeanor filed is infinitely small. But fear sells The point is they shouldnt have any kind of list that lists Americans as terrorists, or a kill list either. Keeping an eye on someone and killing them are radically different operations. The idea of a terrorist list is to watch those who have ties to other terrorists or groups. This can be abused, and often is, but it is nothing like a kill list. There are many domestic terrorists in the US.those who have threatened Planned Parenthood, Klu Klux Klan types, and members of various hate groups. It is not a bad idea to keep track of such people. In general, I oppose the WWOT, which has involved us in unneccessary wars and led to a million deaths, mostly innocent people. But I also object to fear-mongering by implying that if you are one of tens of millions who has called 9/11 or had a misdemeanor filed against you, you are a target for the War on Terror. The War on Terror is a form of fear-mongering, so I oppose fear-mongering which pretends to be opposing it. Kill lists are something totally different, a gross violation of Constitutional and international law. I do believe anyone on the terrorist lists should be notified and have the opportunity to appeal. It should be confined to people for whom there is strong evidence of a likelihood of violence, but then this would include many of our leaders, as well as right wing zealots, and armed thus parading as patriots. Its DALE, people! Thought he got eaten in Season Three. Its William Burke, the troll with another brilliant contribution. What about prank calling the White House? Ive only done it a few times. I was in federal prison with quite a few guys who did that. Most of them had 5 year sentencesspent about 14 months. Amazing what theyll actually lock people up for these days. Yeah, it is. Theyll even lock you up for a plant multi faceted robo attacks automated by on demand intermittent aliases could become a major problem for the suits in DC. and the vast majority of employees of the government cant commit a crime, well, not one that theyll be held accountable for, especially elected officials or those running for office. Sounds like you believe you are a sovereign citizen DEFINITELY a terrorist. After all, nothing terrorizes them more than a person claiming their natural right to exist. sovereign citizen is an oxymorn.. one cannot be both a citizen and sovereign, I would tell you to look up the definitions of both words but as youve utterly failed to do so by this time in your abysmal life the likelihood is nill. You are the living embodyment of the allegory of platos cave, you embrace your shadows! Wow! Perhaps you should actually read and understand a reply before you go ballistic at what you imagine it says but doesnt. Well John, why dont you explain what it is you meant then, if you meant something other than what you typed! I was being IRONIC, Did you find out what that means? it didnt translate,.. dont sweat it though, it happens! combine your first sentence with the second and therein is the issue. Moving on.. Terror, terror, terror sure this is apt to make it. Everyone who knows how evil the government is, is on their watchlist. 
1	The first 500 visitors to see the Nashville Predators play hockey in their custom-built reinforced glass enclosure at Bridgestone Arena Saturday will actually be allowed to feed the team, Predators officials announced today. 'For a few dollars, children and adults will be given a handful of player feed they can drop over the glasslike thisand watch the Predators eat,' said general manager David Poile, tossing food on the ice as hungry players glided by, slapping their sticks and drooling. 'Don't try to feed them from your hand, though. They may not have many teeth, but the ones they do have are needle-sharp. Also, don't tap on the glass. They'll fight.' Poile further cautioned fans not to give the players food purchased at concession stands, because that food is not good for them and can make them very sick. 
1	LOS ANGELESDespite their 'great disappointment' in the show's low ratings, Fox executives announced Monday that they are standing by the four-week-old sitcom Eat At Taco Bell. Fox logo The series, which focuses on the lives of seven New York City twentysomethings who meet at a neighborhood Taco Bell each day to eat and hang out, has averaged less than a three share in the Nielsen ratings since its April 3 debut. 'We really had high hopes for this sitcom, and we still do,' said Fox vice-president of programming Jonathan Bosch. 'I'm confident that, with a little retooling and a possible time-slot change, Eat At Taco Bell will find its audience. Before long, millions of Americans will be tuning in each week to watch Lisa, Matt and the rest of the gang get into crazy adventures, talk about love and sex, and eat delicious Taco Bell food.' Bosch spoke highly of next week's episode, in which the ever-scheming Andre gets into hot water when he has dates with two different women on the same night at Taco Bell. The cast of Fox's <I>Eat At Taco Bell</I>. 'All heck breaks loose when Andre has to run back and forth to opposite sides of the restaurant, struggling to keep track of the conversations he's having, and trying to eat a Double Decker Taco Supreme with one date and a Chili Cheese Burrito with the other,' Bosch said. 'Let's just say that, by the end of the evening, Andre has had more than his fill of mischiefand delicious Taco Bell food.' Also on the horizon, Bosch said, is an episode in which Melanie pretends to be a Taco Bell employee to impress a date. 'When Melanie sneaks into the food-preparation area and tries to make a Seven-Layer Burrito untrained, it's complete pandemonium,' Bosch said. 'And it's all because she wanted her date to think she worked in a fun atmosphere with flexible hours and competitive wages.' While Eat At Taco Bell finished a respectable 21st in the Nielsen ratings its first week, it has since slipped dramatically. Last week, it finished an abysmal 109th, beating only WB's The Parent 'Hood and CBS's Buy Sherwin-Williams Paint. In an effort to boost ratings, Eat At Taco Bell producers have scheduled numerous guest appearances for upcoming episodes, including Living Single star Queen Latifah, who will drop by the restaurant later this month to enjoy a Mexican Pizza and small drink with the gang. Other celebrities slated to appear in coming weeks include David Alan Grier, Knots Landing supervixen Donna Mills, and Star Trek's George Takei, who stirs up big trouble when he challenges Rebecca to a Tostada-eating contest. Despite the low ratings, Eat At Taco Bell advertisers are maintaining their support of the struggling program. 'We believe this is a quality show that deserves to be seen. And, as such, we will continue to demonstrate our strong faith in Eat At Taco Bell by advertising on it,' Pepsico CEO Christopher Burwell said. 'I am confident that, given the opportunity, this bold and daring new program can revitalize the sitcom format in much the same way that Steak and Chicken Gorditas are revitalizing the old-fashioned taco.'

1	While campaigning in Texas Monday, Sen. John McCain delivered a speech outlining his personal energy policy, a plan that offsets rising gas prices and dependence on foreign oil with a 38 percent increase in the national get-up-and-go. 'Developing an intelligent energy policy is not only an environmental concern, but a national security concern as well, which is why I have developed a comprehensive plan to make hay while the sun's still shining,' said the Republican presidential nominee, pulling out a dustpan. 'If we are going to stave off another energy crisis, it is essential for all Americans to put your shoulders into it, wipe the sand out of your eyes, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil by 20 percent over the next five years.' Sen. McCain said he has no doubt his energy plan will be successful, as he enacted a similar strategy in October when he had to clean out his garage. 
1	A bunch of local, piss-ant, hick nobodies filed a lawsuit against the Allegheny Electric Cooperative Monday, alleging that the company exposed residents to dangerous levels of mercury. 'Just about everybody on the Kanawha [River] knows someone that's sick or died,' some toothless rube told reporters. 'It's all the waste they dump out the power plant. You can see it in the water, like liquid silver. We're not going to sit here and take it. No sir.' According to Allegheny spokesman Thomas Gill, the bumpkins were somehow able to scrape together enough moonshine money 'to get theyselves one of them fancy, big-city lawyers.' 
3	Information War Between Russia and the West IntensifiesSteven MacMillan Western news outlets have been incessantly attempting to portray Russia as the belligerent power over the past year, even though many of the facts contradict this perspective. In order to justify an illegal coup in Kiev which is part of a grander strategy of destabilising, encircling and antagonising the Russian Federation the presstitutes are hard at work manufacturing narratives and preparing Americans for conflict with Russia, as Dr. Paul Craig Roberts wrote in his article: CNN is Beating the Drums of War. Considering the majority of conflicts in recent years have been initiated by Western intervention or meddling including the Ukrainian crisis of course Russian propaganda relies far more on facts, as there is often no need to invert truth to support Moscows position. Its a war for public opinion because whatever the case may be on the ground Western leaders, specifically NATO-countries, they really need public opinion to be backing whatever moves they are making around the world, was how investigative journalist and founder of 21st Century Wire, Patrick Henningsen, described the Western media landscape in an interview with RT. In an attempt to win the war for public opinion, the West has launched multiple initiatives recently in a bid to successfully influence and shape public perception on current affairs. The European Union (EU) has launched a 3-month project to prepare a strategic communication plan to counter what the EU believes to be Russian disinformation campaigns, according to draft conclusions of an EU summit obtained by Reuters. The project will be led by Federica Mogherini, the EUs High Representative for Foreign Affairs, who will present her strategy to EU leaders in June. A key area of this project will be an attempt to build popular media initiatives for Russian-speaking audiences. One organisation that has been involved in initial discussions on this matter is the EU-funded European Endowment for Democracy (EED), which shares a remarkably similar name to the notorious National Endowment for Democracy (NED) the pre-eminent regime change organisation of Western intelligence agencies. A press release from an EED consultation on the feasibility [of] Russian-language media projects states: Around 90 media experts and organisations examined ways of setting up new media initiatives for Russian-language audiences and strengthening cooperation between existing media actors in the Eastern Partnership countries and beyond. There is no doubt that these media initiatives will be nothing more than Western intelligence operations aimed at subjugating the Russian state and reducing support for Moscows stance on Ukraine and other issues. The Ubiquitous Nuland A key architect in the Ukrainian coup was the neoconservative hawk and US Assistant Secretary of State, Victoria Nuland, who has been relentless in antagonizing the Russian bear and exacerbating the crisis in Ukraine. A ubiquitous figure in US destabilisation programs around the globe in addition to being a zealous proponent of encroaching Western imperialism, Nuland is also involved in managing and directing information attacks against Moscow. In a testimony on Ukraine before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on 4th March, 2015, Nuland reveals that the US is pouring tens-of millions of dollars into projects to counter so-called Russian propaganda: Traditional military force is only one of the threats to European security. There are others: the Kremlins pervasive propaganda campaign poisoning minds across Russia, on Russias periphery and across Europe. We are working across all fronts to harden European resilience to these vulnerabilities. On Russias propaganda, were working with the Broadcasting Board of Governors to ramp up efforts to counter lies with truth. This year, the BBG is committing $23.2 million to Russian-language programming, a 49 percent increase over FY14, and is requesting an additional $15.4 million for FY16. We are also requesting more than $20 million in foreign assistance and public diplomacy funds to counter Russian propaganda through training for Russian-speaking journalists; support for civil society watchdogs and independent media; exchange programs for students and entrepreneurs; and access to fact-based news on the air, on front pages and online. Russia Restricts Foreign Media Ownership Moscow has been working tirelessly to create strong media platforms and limit foreign infiltration in the information war. In September of last year, the Russian parliament passed a law that prohibits foreign investors from holding more than a 20% stake in Russian media companies. The law, which is expected to come into force at the start of 2016, is seen by many as a necessary step to try and protect Russia from Western propaganda attacks, although others have criticised the move as an overreach by the Kremlin and a suppression of dissident voices. Considering the barrage of anti-Russian propaganda emanating from Western news outlets however, it seems a logical step by the Russian government to ensure foreign agents are unable to infiltrate the media landscape. The Russian government also created a new media brand at the end of last year called Sputnik, which is designed for a global audience of billions who are tired of aggressive propaganda promoting a unipolar world and want a different perspective. A state-owned news outlet which is available in 30 languages, Sputnik will provide a global platform for Russias perspective on current affairs. As the fallout between the two power blocs intensifies on the global stage in the ensuing months, the information and propaganda war will continue to heat up.

1	WHITESTONE, NYShortly after viewing a television report on the international child-slavery trade, 42-year-old father David Newsom was 'alarmed' Monday when a subsequent Internet search revealed that his son, Dave, Jr., would fetch more than $35,000 in an underground Burmese child-sex-slave operation. 'To think that there are sickos out there who would pay an extra five grand just because he's blond,' said Newsom, who claimed he was shocked by how easy it was to upload photos to the illicit organization's website. 'These people are absolute monsters with their height requirements, though.' Newsom added that he was just glad to know his 11-year-old son was happy, healthy, and in possession of two normal and absolutely toxin-free kidneys. 
1	The world scientific community is reeling following Monday's announcement by California Institute Of Technology astrophysicist Miles Lindgren that he has discovered evidence of a black hole at the center of his 27-year marriage, a commitment vortex from which no love can escape. Physicists theorize that the black hole formed several years ago when Professor Lindgren's marriage collapsed under its own weight. Though evidence suggesting the possible presence of black holes has been documented by scientists in the past, Monday's discovery marks the first time anyone has ever proven the existence of one within an interpersonal relationship. At a press conference Monday at Cal Tech, a dispirited Lindgren announced his discovery in a flat, broken monotone: 'Last night, while unsuccessfully attempting to interest my wife Harriet in sexual intercourse, I began noticing inconsistencies in our bedroom's electromagnetic radiation signatures that suggested they were being affected by an immense and joyless invisible force, leading me to suspect the presence of a massive black hole of joylessness and despair.' According to Lindgren, the existence of a marital black hole is difficult to prove due to the fact that it is so massive that not even light can escape its gravitational pull. 'Thus it is possible that one can go undetected for years,' Lindgren said, 'even when you're living in the same home with someone each day, thinking that you are happy, deluding yourself to avoid facing the empty charade that your relationship has become.' Efforts to study the Lindgren black hole have been hampered by the marriage's extraordinarily powerful gravitational pull, which sucks anyone who comes near it into an ever-descending spiral of sadness for the once-happy couple. 'The space between Miles and Harriet has become so vast that it is almost impossible for the layman to comprehend,' said Harvard University physicist Wolfgang Milos. 'It's a shame, really. Think how it must be affecting those poor kids.' Experts believe that the couple's two children, Lindsay and Marc, passed the black hole's event horizon long ago and will never escape its immense, psychologically damaging downward pull. 'As Lindsay and Marc near the singularity,' said noted therapist Eli Wasserbaum, 'they will each be stretched into a one-dimensional geometric anomaly, never again able to enjoy healthy, well-adjusted emotional lives.' Miles and Harriet Lindgren on their wedding day in 1970, years before their relationship collapsed into a massive black hole capable of sucking all the light and joy there is in life into its vast, loveless vortex, never to be seen again. Therapists and astrophysicists from around the world have gathered to observe the marriage. A remote robot probe fired into the black hole by a joint Russian/American counseling team detected a soul-crushing sense of loneliness before the black hole consumed the marital probe and data transmission was cut off. 'Data collected by the probe indicates that sometime around the birth of the Lindgrens' second child, their marriage began to collapse under the crushing weight of its own lack of intimacy, eventually becoming so small and dense that no heat or light could escape,' Milos said. Lindgren agreed with the probe's findings. 'After Marc was born, the space between Harriet and myself became a loveless, immeasurable void, a rift in the fabric of existence where space-timeas well as private, quality timecollapsed onto itself,' he said. 'Because space and time have no meaning within such a singularity, each day stretched out into infinity, with each passing second seeming like an eternity of profound emptiness.' 'This phenomenon was,' Lindgren said, 'invisible, even to Hannah and myself, so everything seemed normal, as if nothing was wrong, as if we still cared.' Though Lindgren and his wife are said to be seriously considering a divorce, this effort will fail too, as the couple will be unable to escape the accumulated emotional mass of 27 years of marriage. Experts believe that the couple's inability to divorce will only lead to greater research opportunities in the future. For example, in an effort to infuse his life with new purpose, Lindgren recently began having a secret affair with 22-year-old Cal Tech physics graduate student Sarah McCue. It is a development that scientists are watching closely. 'As the young woman grows closer to Lindgren and begins to realize that the relationship is limited from the start, she too will begin emitting an intense field of desperate, hopeless electromagnetic waves, waves of anger and resentment as her emotional mass is, in turn, self-consumed,' said Cal Tech astrophysicist Charles J. Chang, who shares an office with Lindgren. 'I am looking forward to collecting and analyzing this data very much.' 
3	Agenda 21: Food Is The New Gold. Land Is The New Oil.Lizzie Bennett During this period the United States had a farm programme where land lay idle to prevent even more surpluses, this provided a cushion against shortages, the land could be planted up if the surpluses fell to levels considered to be too low. In the UK land was left fallow and green manured to enrich it for the following season. The crops were rotated and the harvests were generally very good. In addition there was the carryover: The amount of grain left in the massive storage silos at the time the next crop is harvested. Other western nations had similar systems. 1965 is a good year to show how the system cushioned against disaster. In 1965 the Monsoon in India failed. The United states shipped a full fifth of its grain harvest to India which averted a potential famine. Due to the amount of surplus in store the incident had a minimal effect on grain prices on the world markets. There were occasional spikes during the period of 1950-2000, but the effects on world prices were a short-lived thing. The weather was usually to blame and after a bit of a blip everything settled down when the amount of idled land and the amount of food commodities in store were announced. In 1950 the world had a population of 2.5 billion souls. By 1986 world demand for grain was rising rapidly due to an ever-increasing population and the prices were starting to rise. In an effort to keep a surplus and to reduce or at least to stabilise the prices, the land idling programmes were reduced in both the United States and the UK, with other countries following suit until by 1990 most agricultural land that could be farmed was farmed. They never considered that the ever-growing global population would require more and more food and that more and more arable land across the world would be given over to the growing of biofuel crops. When realization finally dawned that food production could not keep pace something had to be done, a wide-ranging plan was formulated to sell sustainability and global warming, which was now starting to be referred to as climate change, to the masses. Agenda 21 was born. Agenda 21 basically puts the environment above the inhabitants of this planet. In order to preserve the habitat of insects and small animals nobody has ever heard of, certain regions cannot be farmed in case a moth finds itself out of a home. The scope of Agenda 21 is massive, and it affects every facet of our lives. Even those of us who refuse to comply with the policies of the United Nations are affected by the rules and regulations of the plan. It affects our choices on a daily basis. It affects the transport we use, the homes we live in, the kind of heating we use, the clothes we wear and the food we eat. When Maurice Strong, then Secretary-General of the United Nations Earth summit introduced Agenda 21 20 years ago He said: At this point the war on carbon dioxide started. Interestingly carbon dioxide is what humans breathe out. Every breath we take in, is followed by a breath out, from birth to death respiration adds to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Can we assume therefore that this is what is meant by anthropogenic global warming? Does the man-made global warming they refer to constantly actually include breathing as a cause of pollution alongside factory output? The United Nations, pushing its quest for a One World government fully endorse the ethos of flora and fauna over people. In fact, if they can reduce the amount of people along the way they will be exceedingly happy about it. What better way to do that than to have naturally occurring famines that cannot be pinned on the governments of the world or on the United Nations. Now although we are used to seeing famines in Africa I think that the trend is about to change. The peoples of Africa have a much smaller carbon footprint than we do here in the West, and for that reason a famine in the West would reduce the emissions that come from our busy, carbon-fueled lifestyles far more readily than wiping out the entire African sub-continent. We are also less malleable than those who have to rely on foreign aid for even their basic foodstuffs. We are more likely to cause trouble, to fight, riot and revolt if our kids are not fed. Our governments know this, and in the United States they stockpile ammunition so that when the time comes they can deal with the situation. Here in the UK there is anecdotal evidence form serving and ex-police officers, that the government does the same, but they are far less public about it. Trauma and major incident teams across the UK that used to train for multiple car pile ups and train crashes now train for civil unrest and riots as well as the more usual stuff. They practice for dirty bombs and biohazard threats, things the government says we are facing from enemies unknown. The pieces of the puzzle are little by little falling into place. Agenda 21 is advancing rapidly. Food really is set to become the new gold and land the new oil because without them we are done for. We have to turn back to the old ways of producing enough to look after our families. Our children need to be taught how to grow produce, how to fix things, build things and generally become more self-sufficient. Those who do well will not be those people with fancy degrees from Ivy League universities. Those who do well will be those who can make things that are needed, those who can grow food, those who turn their hand to many things. I feel confident in my view that an Honours degree in media studies is not going to be worth a damn. Regardless of the space you have, and the conditions you have, I urge you to look into what you can grow for yourself. Think laterally, think vertically, whatever you have can be utilized in one way or another. Every single mouthful you grow you are one mouthful nearer self-sufficiency and one mouthful further away from faminefamine that is being systematically induced by the global elite and their failure to act in any way, shape or form to prevent it.

2	Welfare Recipients Just Got A Very Hard Dose Of Reality According to recent reports, a New York state lawmaker has just introduced legislation that will prevent people from using food stamps to buy lobster, steak and other luxury cuisine. The bill was introduced by Republican State Sen. Patty Ritchie of Oswegatichie, and is designed to place restrictions on purchases made through New Yorks Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The list of banned items includes lobster, certain cuts of steak, and energy drinkswhich the state argues are not nutritious. Decorated cakes are also singled out under the proposal. At a time when our state and nation are struggling with an obesity epidemic, it is critically important that taxpayer-funded programs help low-income consumers make wise and healthy food choices, the bill explains. Even though the proposal appears to make perfect since, it is not likely to become law, given that the state assembly is majority-Democrat. What do you think? Do you support this measure? 
3	Bloody Revolutions Fail: Now Is The Time For PeaceJared Bachman I understand that youre probably doubting that. Many Americans have been misled to believe in successful revolutions in history. The American Revolution is considered a success by many. Were often told that the brave rebels stood up to the unethical king across the ocean. It can be easy to nitpick through revolutions and say that one was a good one and that was a bad one, but have they really lived up to the dreams of their promoters? More importantly, did they really help the world become a better place? Promised Land While the methodology might have changed, the promises have been similar. The most important of these promises is a more peaceful world. The average person does not fight a revolution hoping to kill. The sociopaths in our world are few and far between. There is no revolution fought on the concept of violence. The revolutions have always been a means to an end. The leaders of every revolution insist that the solution will come after the violence. Some of the leaders promoted specific plans. Others didnt have to promote any plan. There is a similarity between them all though. The changes in their revolution can only commence after the complete disconnection with their current system. Their promised land can only come after the violence. Their is an implied promise within all of this. All revolutions are made out to be the final revolution. People are misled to believe that their revolution is going to be the last. Naturally, the majority isnt thinking the rest of life is going to be butterflies and flowers but they always think the world is going to get better. The politicians of today have taken the principled stances of the past and destroyed them. Im not a believer in the US Constitution but even that has been riddled with exceptions to the rules. These are promises that were made by the revolutionaries. These revolutionaries are not the first to make promises that their systems couldnt keep. Its happened every time throughout history. There is no way to know whether the original revolutionaries really believed their promises would last but I firmly believe they did. I believe revolutionaries dont put their life on the line to make small temporary changes. I believe they do it to make a true difference in history. Sadly, they cant make their changes permanent alone. That is why Ive written this article for you. I hope to help the revolutionaries of tomorrow make a permanent difference in history. The Peaceful Revolution I feel the anger. I understand the urge to start fighting for the things youve been promised; but the revolution you want so badly wont come in the matter of a few years. National revolutions can happen in a year. Millions of people can die and everyone can be worse off. A few years later, the violence that justified the revolution is used to justify the nations protection. You may not be able to stop a violent revolution but you are capable of not participating in the violence. You may be called a coward; but remember, the ones refusing to kill are always called cowards. Protect yourself if you have to but never give in to the voices telling you to escalate, because those are the voices that youre fighting against. The peaceful revolution is not going to take a year. Thats because its not a national revolution. Its going to be a revolution in the way individuals live their lives. People will finally learn not to use the escalation of violence for their own personal gain. Its a revolution that could take generations to complete but its a revolution that can finally bring the long-lasting peace that everyone is actually looking for. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Obama To Replace National Bird The Bald Eagle With THIS According to recent reports, our nation is about to get a new animaland its quite a departure from the bald eagle, which has been the sole symbol of the United States for 234 years. Reports indicate that the National Bison Legacy Act has just been passed by Congress, and is expected to pass through the Senate next week. The act denotes the bison as Americas national mammal and a historical symbol of the United States. The eagle will reportedly still represent the nation, but it will no longer be the sole animal doing so. If passed, the bison will join the bald eagle, the oak, and the rose as a symbol for our country. The move will not come with any special protections for the bison. A representative for the Wildlife Conservation Society claims that it is a milestone in a long journey to prevent the bison from going extinct and to recognize the bisons ecological, cultural, historical and economic importance. What do you think? Do you support this move? 
2	Obama To Meet With Muslims And Visit Mosque According to reports, President Barack Obama is set to meet with Muslim community members in Baltimore on his first presidential visit to an American mosque. Obamas intention is to hold talks with Muslim leaders at the Islamic Society of Baltimorebut is more likely a public embrace of the Muslim community at a time when Americans are especially wary of Islamic extremism. Time and time again over the past year, weve seen terrorist acts carried out by extremists in the Muslim community. In the past, Obama has put distance between himself and American Muslims, combating theories that he is, himself, of the Muslim faith. Obama asserts that he is a Christian man who was born in Hawaii, but many Americans believe these claims are false. Its no surprise then that this visit comes toward the close of Obamas two terms in office. The White House claimed that Obamas visit was to celebrate the contributions Muslim Americans make to our nation and reaffirm the importance of religious freedom to our way of life. The visit comes at a time when many Republican candidates, and most notably Donald Trump, have called for a block on Muslims being admitted to the United States due to the security risk and failed screening methods. Others have called for a ban on accepting more refugees into the country. What do you think of Obamas visit? Is this another slap in the face to Americans who are concerned about their safety?

3	The Great American Dragnet: Over 200 Million People Are in the Facial Recognition DatabaseDaisy Luther The Washington Post reports: There is no way to opt out of this for privacy reasons if you intend to be a licensed driver in the United States. Only 13 states have not gone into full-out Big Brother mode with facial recognitionyet. At this time, the states without the technology are Alaska, California, Wyoming, Arizona, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, Maine, and New Hampshire. However, even though they dont have the technology to readily identify residents, they still have millions of photos in their databases. Whats more, it isnt only our drivers licenses that we have to worry about. Another, even larger, database exists. The US State Department has a database with 230 million searchable images. Anyone with a passport or an immigration visa may find themselves an unwilling participant in this database. Heres the breakdown of who has a photo database: This invasion of privacy is just another facet of the surveillance state, and should be no surprise considering the information Edward Snowden just shared about the over-reaching tentacles of the NSA into all of our communications. We are filing our identities with the government and they can identify us at will, without any requirement for probable cause. The authorities that use this technology claim that the purpose of it is to make us safer, by helping to prevent identity fraud and to identify criminals. However, what freedom are we giving up for this safety cloaked in benevolence? We are giving up the freedom of having the most elemental form of privacy that of being able to go about our daily business without being watched and identified. And once youre identified, this connects to all sorts of other personal information that has been compiled: your address, your driving and criminal records, and potentially, whatever else that has been neatly filed away at your friendly neighborhood fusion center. Think about it: Youre walking the dog and you fail to scoop the poop if theres a surveillance camera in the area, it would be a simple matter, given the technology, for you to be identified. If you are attending a protest that might be considered anti-government, dont expect to be anonymous. A photo of the crowd could easily result in the identification of most of the participants. Are you purchasing ammo, preparedness items, or books about a controversial topic? Paying cash wont buy you much in the way of privacy your purchase will most likely be captured on the CCTV camera at the checkout stand, making you easily identifiable to anyone who might wish to track these kinds of things. What if a person with access to this technology uses it for personal, less than ethical reasons, like stalking an attractive women he saw on the street? The potential for abuse is mind-boggling. If you cant leave your house without being identified, do you have any real freedom left, or are you just a resident in a very large cage? 
1	Amidst continued deadlock over how to rein in the federal deficit, government officials announced plans Tuesday to increase revenue by offering franchise opportunities to entrepreneurs who wish to start their own United States of America. Banking on the popularity of its original location, the country hopes to make millions by partnering with franchisees around the world, to whom it would license the trademarked United States brand name as well as the nation's flag, motto, preserved landmarks, college sports programs, movie studios, and bicameral legislature. 'Now, anyone interested in starting a new nation can open an official United States,' said Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), co-chair of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction. 'America already has a brand everyone knows and responds to. Now the time has come for us to grow that asset and monetize it.' Six months after opening, franchisees will owe the U.S. government 20 percent of all apple pie sales. 'Meanwhile, it's a great deal for our franchise partners, who not only get to fly the red, white, and blue, but also have access to our unrivaled network of foreign oil suppliers.' Murray continued. 'With an initial capital investment of just $20,000, interested parties can begin building their own U.S.A. immediately.' According to sources, as soon as their check clears with the U.S. Treasury, new franchisees will receive an America Operations Manual and a welcome kit that includes a framed copy of the Constitution, a 1/16th-scale replica of the Statue of Liberty, two cases of Budweiser beer, one's choice of a dream catcher or Native American hand drum, and an instructional pamphlet on how to print the nation's popular currency. U.S. headquarters in Washington will reportedly collect a standard franchise royalty of 4.5 percent on each new location's gross domestic product, as well as residual fees stemming from any performance of the national anthem, reproduction of the presidential seal, or usage of proprietary place names such as New York or Texas. In response to claims the new program could dilute the value of the United States brand, officials have stated that strict quality-control standards will be maintained across each American franchise. 'People can expect the same quality of life at any U.S.A. location,' House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told reporters. 'All will be provided with the First Amendment, free market economies, the Grand Canyon, trial by juryeverything you need to run your very own United States. We're even throwing in a few clear-eyed, apple-cheeked all-American youths to help them get started.' Proposed deals are already in motion for new United States of Americas to open in emerging markets such as China, India, and Brazil by January 2013, Boehner said, and discussions are ongoing regarding a possible high-end underwater resort location in the United Arab Emirates. A deal to open a flagship franchise on the Champs-lyses in Paris has reportedly been quashed by the French government. 'It's intimidating to start any new business from scratch, let alone a fully functioning nation, so the franchise model really appealed to me,' said Swiss entrepreneur Adrian Holm, who hopes to open multiple European United States locations if his first venture succeeds. 'It took us a while to find a big enough spot for one, but it's on a reasonably busy highway, and I feel a U.S.A. is the sort of place that people will stop and see if it's convenient enough.' Several business experts have said America's recent credit-rating downgrade, rising levels of customer dissatisfaction, and high incarceration costs might end up proving a liability for franchisees, and few investors have been bullish on the United States since its failed attempts to extend its brand by opening wholly owned outposts in Afghanistan and Iraq over the past decade. 'It's definitely a gamble,' 28-year-old Ahmad Nimeiri of Sudan said. 'But the prospect of heading up my own United States of America sure as hell beats herding goats for my uncle for the rest of my life.' Added Nimeiri: 'Hopefully I won't wind up regretting my decision not to just open up a China like my brother Samir did. He's doing great.'

3	Anonymous Takes Down 5,500 ISIS Twitter Accounts 24 Hours After ISIS Called them IdiotsBy Jay Syrmopoulos The announcement comes less than 24 hours after hacktivist group warned of a coordinated and targeted attack against the Islamic State in the wake of the deadly wave of terror attacks across Paris. #OpParis (@opparisofficial) November 17, 2015 Anonymous spokesman Alex Poucher told RT: Our capability to take down ISIS is a direct result of our collectives sophisticated hackers, data miners, and spies that we have all around the world. We have people very, very close to ISIS on the ground, which makes gathering intel about ISIS and related activities very easy for us. Poucher went on to say that the groups hacking acumen might be better than any world governments tools to combat ISIS online, adding that although ISIS has its own hacking core, the terrorist group does not have hackers like we have hackers. They picked a fight with Anonymous when they attacked Paris, and now they should expect us, he said, adding that the collective will not sit by and watch these terror attacks unfold around the world. Anonymous has targeted ISIS in the past, dismantling 149 Islamic State websites so far this year, according to Foreign Policy. The hacktivist group began operations against the Islamic State following their brutal attack on Charlie Hebdo in January. On Monday, Anonymous released a video announcing that the group would launch the biggest operation ever against Islamic State. The hacking collective vowed to unite humanity, warning the terrorist group to expect massive cyber-attacks. Anonymous from all over the world will hunt you down, the masked Anon spokesman in the video said. You should know that we will find you and we will not let you go. ISIS responded to Anonymous video on Monday, calling the hacktivist group idiots and offering technical guidance to ISIS supporters in an effort to protect against Anonymous cyber-attacks. In spite of the ISIS insults aimed at Anonymous, judging by the initial results, it seems the Islamic State is impotent to stop the hacktivist group from decimating the terror groups social media outreach and recruitment efforts. Jay Syrmopoulos is an investigative journalist, free thinker, researcher, and ardent opponent of authoritarianism. He is currently a graduate student at University of Denver pursuing a masters in Global Affairs. Jays work has been published on Ben Swanns Truth in Media, Truth-Out, AlterNet, InfoWars, MintPress News, as well as many other sites. You can follow him on Twitter @sirmetropolis, on Facebook at Sir Metropolis and now on tsu. I interpret this as more evidence that Anonymous is just another NWO/JWO creation. This situation with anonymous is beginning to sound scripted. @Blaq Tongue Hate a me too, but yes, agree with you. Seems to be thesis, antithesis, synthesis coming into play. This kind of goes along with a theory of mine regarding Judaism, Islam, Christianity all being part of a dialectic. People are still controlled even if offered three choices, the thesis, the antithesis, the synthesis. It seems Judaism to me is the thesis, Islam would be the antithesis, Christianity the synthesis. I may be a little off base yet do not think by much if at all. Governments were also structured and formed according to this kind of template. Monarchy, Democracy, Republic and Socialist, Communist, Democratic are all on display. Yes, there is a difference between Socialist and Communist, know it may seem there is not. To me it seems all keen to point out a trinity. You have positive, negative and neutral current even. Have a friend constantly chide me that no neutral current exists. His remark is you have on or off and thats it. So, his logic is positive and negative are all there is. I point out the energy contained in potential, he is left trying to toss some hair brained know it all bull story to explain potential away. Gnosticism knows, from nothing comes something and from something back to nothing. It is what lies between that is potential. Random chance creates and destroys equally and without prejudice. This lies in everything and nothing. Why not teach that as everyones basics? Why continually have to assert this dialectic and assert control? Once you have control, so the logic goes, you have all the marbles. Okay, what next? What is the end purpose? Simply having all the marbles means what? You win? So? Maybe not all of us are playing your game of marbles. I for example might be playing a game of giggles. I make up stuff to make myself giggle. For example I think mushrooms need to talk about the false math used to get the square root of pies. Mushrooms dont talk, I hear you beginning to suggest. Guess what? My game, my rules and if mushrooms want to talk they will. Ha! Anonymous is cointelpro. Or has become adopted by such interests. That is the only thing which explains how it became such an overnight media darling. Ben, where do you fit into your scenario? Whaaaaa??? Anonymous will take out ISIS while the muslim jihadist-In-Chief does nothing? And while the NSA is more worried about spying on Americans than keeping tabs on terrorists. You have nothing whatsoever, other than your blind ideological bias, to support that statement. youre going to hack off the Muz N Bathhouse Queen Nice job boys and girls. Keep it up. Im not a supporter of this group but when leaders dont protect their citizens then citizens should help out if and when they can. keep up the good work , because oboma wont let nsa do anything to stop them , he has them hacking our phones and internet , I bet their budget is less than the CIA and NSA blow on hookers. ROFLMAO!!! Whew! Bet that touched a few nerves somewhere in the District of Columbia! LOL Usually the truth does cut close to the bone, We spend Billions to fund them and they cant catch a terrorist if they nuked a city and a bunch of white hat and black hat hackers are doing what they cant or wont do. You might start by not calling them Isis.start calling them Sisi.that is what they are cowards to their core. Theyre like vigilantes. Go Anonymous!!! You go, anonymous..the taxpayers no longer have a viable government in the U.S. Anonymous, go after their money. 
1	In a special ceremony at the White House Monday, Madeline Albright was sworn in as the nation's 43rd U.S. Secretary, the highest government position ever held by a woman. President Clinton praised Albright, citing her excellent organizational skills and pleasant phone voice. 'Miss Albright will make an excellent Secretary,' Clinton told the assembled reporters. 'As a pioneer in the receptionist field, she is an inspiration to young women everywhere.' Clinton vowed that Albright would make the timely serving of coffee her 'top priority.' Albright's other duties will include some light typing and filing. Albright left a similar position in the principal's office at Lakeview Junior High School in Rockville, MD, to accept the U.S. Secretary post.

2	FBI Discovers Massive Cover Up In Terrorists Bank Account That Links Back To Obama The mainstream media has been trying to make it look like the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California involving Syed Farook was a lone wolf attack. Now, Fox News has just released new evidence that may destroy that narrative entirely. According to reports, a $28,500 deposit was made into Farooks account from WebBank.com on or about Nov. 18, just two weeks before he and his wife Tashfeen Malik carried out the San Bernardino massacre. The couple killed 14 and wounded 21 when they opened fire at a holiday lunch. Investigators are now exploring whether the transaction was a loan. We do know he earned $53,000 a year with the county as an environmental health inspector. On its website, WebBank.com describes itself as a leading provider of national consumer and commercial private-label and bank card financing programs. Two days after the transfer, Farook converted $10,000 to cash, withdrawing money at a Union Bank branch in San Bernardino. In the days before the shooting, there were at least three transfers of $5,000 to Farooks mother. One source described the transfers of significant evidence of pre-mediation, undercutting the idea that an argument at the Christmas party led to the shooting. What do you think of this new evidence?

Now, a newly-surfaced video from 2008 shows Fox News host Bill OReilly catching Obama in one of his humiliating deceptions. Obama claims that he has many friends who are right-wing. Before he goes any further, OReilly demands that Obama name names, but the president comes up empty-handed. Apparently, he cant even think of one friend of his that is conservative.

3	New Code Protects Big Brother BritainMick Meaney, Contributor On the face of it, it seems like a good move, but look just beneath the surface and we soon discover it does little to slow down the growth of the surveillance state; and, in some cases, even protects Big Brother. Authorities that breach the code will not face sanctions, and it only applies to a fraction of the UKs 4 million CCTV cameras. A new watchdog will be created, The new Surveillance Camera Commissioner, but will have absolutely no powers of enforcement or inspection. We have repeatedly warned that the public will not have confidence in a part-time regulator who has no powers, no legally binding rules and isnt even able to take action against organisations breaking the law. For the new system to cover only a tiny fraction of CCTV cameras, not even those in school lavatories, it is clearly a disappointment to the wide range of people concerned that in many areas CCTV in Britain has got out of hand that the new system is largely a box-ticking exercise with no consequences for people who ignore it. However, police will have to place warning signs at the roadside of major routes, informing motorists they are being watched on CCTV.

1	In his 'Looking Ahead In 2006' column on ESPN's website, baseball analyst Peter Gammons said that there will be 'no big surprises this year,' predicting that he would once again finish the season in the cellar, all alone and unable to let go of the events of the past seven months. 'Although some experts are saying I will fold in the hot weather come August, I'm certain I will make it to the playoffs and head into the World Series healthy and excited, as I do each year,' Gammons wrote Monday. 'But when all is said and done, I am going to end up lying prone on the world champions' clubhouse floor, where I will remain, covered in old champagne and stacks of 2006 box scores, until someone wakes me up next spring.' Gammons also predicted that he would have an extremely quiet offseason in which he doesn't make any major moves. 
3	Obamacare to be Launched with a Star-Studded Celebrity Propaganda CampaignDaisy Luther If you need a sure way to identify that a proposed law or regulation is bad news, perhaps the fact that it has to be presented by movie stars and professional athletes to make it palatable could be a clue. The White House is apparently getting celebrity endorsements to help sway the public opinion on Obamacare. After all, if that NFL superstar thinks its a good idea, all the wannabe jocks will think its a good idea. If that beautiful, compassionate starlet thinks that Obamacare is indicative of the Second Coming, then it must be true. And then there is that comedian, you know, the liberal one that wears the funny glasses you can tell hes brilliant by just listening to him use big words to make fun of liberty-minded folks he thinks Obamacare is great too! The White House is working to recruit Hollywood celebrities to help promote ObamaCare, a top celebrity political adviser told The Hill. Trevor Neilson, a veteran of the Clinton White House, said hes in talks with the Obama administration and that his clients are looking at ways to be involved. I think the White House is very wise to identify partners to help market the Affordable Care Act, Neilson said Tuesday. Just like any good product, when people are aware of the many benefits it provides, there will be increased demand. The Obama administration is working on ways to sell its signature healthcare law to the public over the next six months. (source) If this tactic sounds familiar, you need only look back at the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, when NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg assembled a group of celebrities to seriously stare into the camera and shill for gun control. (See that video HERE) Its all advertising. Millions of dollars are spent on celebrity endorsements of products every year because it is a marketing scheme that works, particularly in todays star-struck, reality-TV-loving society. Young people and people of a lower IQ are particularly likely to be influenced by celebrity endorsements. Another name for this is testimonial propaganda: This is the celebrity endorsement of a philosophy, movement or candidate. In advertising, for example, athletes are often paid millions of dollars to promote sports shoes, equipment and fast food. In political circles, movie stars, television stars, rock stars and athletes lend a great deal of credibility and power to a political cause or candidate. Just a photograph of a movie star at political rally can generate more interest in that issue/candidate or cause thousands, sometimes millions, of people to become supporters. (source) There is a reason that celebrity endorsement is a billion dollar industry. According to 2016.htmlBloomberg, last year just in social media endorsements, advertisers spent $4.8 billion. That amount is expected to increase to a whopping $9.8 billion by 2016. Many stars get paid to tweet about a product theyre endorsing, or to talk about it on Facebook. It is a direct way into the consumers phone or computer, and because it seems to be unscripted and coming right from the famous individual, people are more likely to pay attention than an advertisement on TV that will just reach them passively. What does this mean for the rest of us? By rolling out the movie stars and athletes, the Obama administration is taking their propaganda to the next level. They are attempting to divert discussion about their unconstitutional behavior and about their descent into a nanny state by steering the masses toward acceptance. This manipulation makes it far more difficult to have a realistic debate about the topic. While one side is presenting facts (like the one that the Affordable Care Act could cost some families as much as $20,000 per year) the other side is presenting glossy movie stars in $2,000 red-soled Louboutin pumps. If an administration must use propaganda, and manipulation to get citizens on board with a legislation, that legislation must be looked at with the utmost suspicion. Coating fecal matter with a sparkly layer of sugar might make it prettier, but its still a turd underneath. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

3	US Threatens to Arm Al Qaeda, ISIS with Anti-Air MissilesBy Tony Cartalucci A Reuters article titled, Gulf may arm rebels now Syria truce is dead: U.S. officials, would elaborate, claiming: One U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss American policy, said Washington has kept large numbers of such man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, out of Syria by uniting Western and Arab allies behind channeling training and infantry weapons to moderate opposition groups while it pursued talks with Moscow. But frustration with Washington has intensified, raising the possibility that Gulf allies or Turkey will no longer continue to follow the U.S. lead or will turn a blind eye to wealthy individuals looking to supply MANPADS to opposition groups. The Saudis have always thought that the way to get the Russians to back off is what worked in Afghanistan 30 years ago negating their air power by giving MANPADS to the mujahideen, said a second U.S. official. However, in reality, ambitions to down Russian and Syrian aircraft over Syria are not Saudi in origin, but rather come from the highest levels of policy and politics within Washington. Washington-based corporate-financier policy think tank, the Brookings Institution, in a paper titled, What to do when containing the Syrian crisis has failed, would admit (emphasis added): We must also be clever about employing various options for no-fly zones:We cannot shoot down an airplane without knowing if its Russian or Syrian, butwe can identify those aircraft after the fact and destroy Syrian planes on the ground if they were found to have barrel-bombed a neighborhood, for example. These kinds of operations are complicated, no doubt, and especially with Russian aircraft in the areabut I think we have made a mistake in tying ourselves in knots over the issue, since there are options we can pursue. Ina 2015 Fox News interview, US Senator John McCain would admit: I might do what we did in Afghanistan many years ago, to give those guys the ability to shoot down those planes. That equipment is available. When asked to clarify his statement as to who would be shooting down the planes, McCain would answer: The Free Syrian Army, just like the Afghans shot down the Russian In essence then, the US is merely laundering anti-air weapons and the ambition to use them through Saudi Arabia, as it has done so with all the weapons, terrorists, vehicles, money, and support used to trigger and perpetuate the ongoing war in Syria with the Saudis at best, merely partners. US politicians and policymakers are already acutely aware that any weapons they send into Syria including anti-air missiles will immediately end up in the hands of designated foreign terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda and ISIS. They are aware of this because thousands of anti-tank missiles the US has sent into the country, as well as fleets of Toyota trucks, ammunition, food, and other supplies have already ended up in Al Qaeda and ISIS hands. This is not only through the seizure of weapons by terrorist organizations from moderate rebels, but because Americas moderate rebels have either voluntarily joined the ranks of designated terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda and ISIS or were affiliated with terrorists from the very beginning and even before the conflict even began. In a particularly embarrassing episode, it was reported by the pro-war, corporate-financier funded and chaired Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) blog, The Long War Journal in an article titled, Islamic State used US-made anti-tank missiles near Palmyra, that: In a new video released by the Islamic State, the jihadist group shows the capture of the ancient city of Palmyra, also known as Tadmur in Arabic. During the video, at least one US-made BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missile is seen being used against Syrian regime troops near the city. The report continued by stating: This is not the first time the Islamic State has shown with TOWs. Last December, the jihadist group also published photos showing its forces using TOW missiles against Free Syrian Army (FSA) forces in the Damascus countryside. The United States has supplied several FSA groups with TOW missiles, which have sometimes fallen into the hands of jihadist groups or have been used to assist jihadist groups. The TOW used in Palmyra was likely captured from battles with the FSA in other parts of Syria. It is not only possible that any anti-air weapons sent into Syria will end up in the hands of Al Qaeda or ISIS, it isinevitable. Any nation supplying militants with such weapons is all but intentionally ensuring they eventually end up in the hands of terrorist organizations. And what US policymakers seem unaware or unconcerned with is the possibility that such weapons may be turned against their own forces not only in Syria including US and European warplanes but across the region, including on the battlefield in Yemen, targeting US-made Saudi warplanes. Also possible is that these weapon systems are spirited out of the region and used to target civilian aircraft in terrorist attacks around the world. As the US continues leveraging the downing of MH-17 over Ukraine against Russia, it simultaneously attempts to all but ensure the most dangerous terrorist organizations on Earth gain access to anti-air weaponry. It is a clear indicator that the US, not Russia nor the Syrian government, pose a threat to global peace and stability. The same US who knowingly created and wielded Al Qaeda against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s before claiming to be victimized by this mercenary force on September 11, 2001 precipitating a decade and a half of War on Terror is hereby standing up a terrorist mercenary force larger and better armed than ever before. The US is sowing the seeds of global terrorism for decades to come by doing so. Americas fueling of the Syrian conflict directly and through its Persian Gulf proxies has turned the entire Middle East and North African region into a hotbed of failed states, terrorism, and humanitarian crises. Russias failure to prevent US intervention in Libya has left the nation divided and destroyed, hemorrhaging refugees across the Mediterranean Sea into Europe and inviting terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda and ISIS to expand across not only the ruins of Libya, but also across the rest of the region and beyond. Russias failure to stop the division and destruction of Syria will result in a catastrophe greater still and despite the level of destruction and violence unfolding today in Syria should Damascus collapse and militant groups be left intact Syria will face exponentially greater violence and destruction that will make Libyas ongoing sociopolitical and humanitarian catastrophe pale in comparison. The US, by erasing the lines of even rhetorical sensibility, does however open a window of opportunity for Syria and its allies to respond with asymmetrical warfare, targeting US and European warplanes illegally operating over Syria in such a way as to make it difficult if not impossible to determine whether or not Americas own anti-air weapons are being used against its and its allies warplanes. US policy which essentially places anti-air missiles into the hands of terrorists is so ill-conceived and desperate, the fact that it has been tabled in the first place illustrates Washingtons increasingly weak and desperate hand. If this policy is properly exposed for what it truly implies both for Syria and the state of global security for decades to come, and should it be countered intelligently by Syria and its allies, it can be turned back against Washington and add further impetus to finally end this war in the Syrian peoples favor not Washingtons. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazine New Eastern Outlook, where this article first appeared. The U.S. Industrialist Pentagon Empire, a.k.a. The Beast of Revelation, is heading for self-destruction. I hope you are right..the US government and War Department have been a serious cancer on the world Throughout US history, it has never perused peace, and except for 1812, has waged genocide against indigenous people, and waged wars using lies to get into them, of aggression for expansion. By the late 1800s, its leadership was already planning to conquer lands in the Pacific (defense war plan orange), and much of the north Atlantic (defense war plan black), replacing most of the nations leadership with puppets. The creation of the FBI (COINTELPro) to put down dissent of government plans, the creation of the CIA (Gladio, MkUltra., numerous projects, including human testing on innocents and the unsuspecting, the Department of War/ Defense, whos leaders have always worked for expansion through deception, and countless other and new command/control organizations of the surveillance state apparatus a cancer spreading throughout the globe, were created for the many to serve very few, the owners of the creation and retraction of wealth and power. America has been using Islamic fundamentalists almost as long as the British, Dutch and French for their expansion (which goes back to the Levant Company, EIC). Islamic fundamentalism was important to defeat the Ottoman Empire, Iran, Indonesia, Iraq (original Baath party), several African and east Asian nations. Now the West is turned against its own people, creating an atmosphere of fear and dread to create obedience while what is/was left of freedom is destroyed.

Tell Obama he can have them back once the ILLEGAL U.S. troops allies do a full withdrawal from Syria STAY out permanently. Then do a trade for Soros. Imagine if Russia/Putin should start arming groups south of the texas/mexico border! I truly hope a bare minimum of By the time we get the news, its already happened. Message to Kerry go home, you are completely incompetent and useless. 
1	During a practice match at the Riviera Golf and Tennis Club with his wife, Gail, Tuesday, 54-year-old Steve Cohen, the world's official 467,357th-ranked tennis player, attempted to teach himself how to serve overhand. 'I can do backhands and forehands sometimes, but when it comes to serving, I just get more rallies going if I bounce it and hit it instead of trying to be fancy,' said the professional tennis player, who has acquired .000000003 ATP points so far this year. 'But I have to learn at some point. It's probably the only way I'll have any chance this weekend against [462,724th-ranked] Roy [Detmer].' Both Detmer and Cohen are slated to represent the United States in the Davis Cup this July. 
2	Amendment In Alabama Constitution Prevents Sharia Law From Going Into Effect According to recent reports, Alabama is one of the most recent states to take a stand against the threat of Islamic law becoming a part of American culture. Amendment one, when added to the state constitution, will prohibit foreign law from being used to decide cases in Alabama courts. The amendment was drafted by Birmingham attorney Eric Johnston for State Sen. Gerald Allen, who sponsored it. I put about three years of work on it, Johnston said, after the amendment passed easily by a margin of about 72 percent. We were just trying to do something legal, not political, Johnston continued, adding that the bill had a wider application than simply banning Sharia law. Further, Johnston added that the law does not undermine the religious rights of Muslims, but it does prevent lawyers from using Sharia law in Alabama court cases. Your constitutional rights are not affected by it, Johnston claimed in a statement. Weve got a religious freedom amendment in Alabama. All t says is pay attention to the religious freedom amendment. Womens rights are compromised by Sharia rights if a lawyer in a custody case says, Islam requires you to do this. Its a help to judges. It doesnt create any new laws. Of course, liberals are trying to claim that this is somehow racist. What do you think? Should more states be adopting laws like these? 
2	Ted Nugent Just Called Obama A Racist To His Face So Obama Does THIS Ted Nugent is well-known for his conservative opinions and his fearlessness in sharing them. Most recently, Nugent has become a major source of controversy after publicly blasting Al Sharpton and Obama for making race such a prominent issue where it shouldnt be. During a recent interview, Nugent commented on how he has never experienced racism in his 66 years of life until Obama came into office. As a child growing up in Detroit, Nugent claims that he was shattered about how blacks were treated in the past, but did not view the issues as current ones. By the late 60s, the 70s, I couldnt find racism, Nugent remarked. I never saw racism. I never heard of racism. I thought it was a thing of the past in isolated pockets of inbreeding and cannibalism and spiritlessness. He went on to confirm that he never judged people inherently by color, but rather by spirit and soul. Now that Obama has started to make race a constant issue, Nugent claims that he has seen racism for the first time. Obama has clearly and blatantly spoken out with his opinions on racism in cases like Henry Louis Gates and more noticeably Trayvon Martine, when he made a controversial comment about If I had a son Nowhere can I find racism except coming out of the White House, Nugent concluded. What do you think of Nugents comments? 
2	Donald Trump Just Slammed All His Haters With THIS Amazing News Following controversial comments made during his campaign announcement, Donald Trump has been under fire, deemed racist toward the Mexican population. During his speech, the businessman and presidential hopeful complained about the criminals that are steadily flowing into our country from Mexico. Since that time, hes lost several long-standing business relationships including Univision, NBC, and Macys. Trump, however, has stood by his comments as factual information, even going as far as filing a $500 million lawsuit against Univision for dropping the Miss Universe pageant. Now, shocking statistics are being revealed to back Trumps comments. The dangers of illegal immigrants were highlighted this past weekend, when 32-year-old Kate Steinle was murdered by a man who had already been deported five times. Following her murder, the Center for Immigration Studies reported that 57 of the 76 fugitive murderers most wanted by the FBI were foreign-born. That number does not represent the many other violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants each year. Instead of counting the immigrant stock filling up our prisons, the government issues a series of comical reports claiming to tally immigrant crime Ann Coulter explained. The Department of Justice relies on immigrants self-reports of their citizenship. The U.S. census simply guesses the immigration status of inmates. The Government Accounting Office conducts its own analysis of Bureau of Prisons data. In other words, the government hasnt the first idea how many prisoners are legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, or anchor babies. However, some statistics clearly indicate a growing problem. For instance, of the 61,529 criminal cases initiated by federal prosecutors last year, more than 40% were filed in court districts neighboring the Mexican border. What do you think? Were Trumps comments factually based? 
3	We Know The Whereabouts of Lost IRS EmailsMac Slavo The Presidents past statements run contrary to the events playing out on Capitol Hill today, where the IRS has claimed that the emails have been lost forever. Congressman Darrell Issa pointed out the ridiculousness of the claims saying that such records could only disappear because of deliberate destruction. It turns out that Congressman Darrell Issa is right. Records like these dont just disappear without a trace. We know the whereabouts of the lost IRS emails and they could likely be accessed and shown to the American public within 24 hours. Access to any of those records can be had with a simple directive from the President of the United States. The facility where the records are stored, along with the private emails, text messages, Google searches and 20 trillion domestic phone calls since 2001 is ownedand operated by Americas National Security Agency which, among other things, is responsible for the monitoring of American citizens and storing any and all digital interactions captured on private and public telecommunications lines. The NSAs most advanced intelligence monitoring facility is located at Camp Williams and is called the Utah Data Center. If the emails ever existed, whether they were deliberately wiped or accidentally lost, the National Security Agency undoubtedly has a digital record of them. Intelligence officials and law enforcement refer to the phenomenon as digital permanence and what it means is that there exists a record of every digital interaction taking place over the Internet somewhere. So, even if you happen to lose a hard drive or purposefully click that delete button, youd be in luck. The National Security Agency has a copy of it because they have been effectively collecting all data sent over telecommunications lines in the United States since at least 2001. The government is gathering everything, including content. Given this revelation from someone who understands the inner workings of NSA signals intelligence and how they collect data, its clear that despite the IRS losing the emails in question, there exist exact replicas of them at the NSA. It should only be a matter of time now before President Obama officially requests that the NSA turn over these records so that he can prove to the American public once and for all that neither he or those in his administration had any knowledge or influence over the IRS targeting of political enemies.

2	Mom Does Something So Terrible To Daughter, Some People Are Having Trouble Watching Recently, some disturbing footage of a stepmother in China physically disciplining her daughter has the American public outraged. The clip shows the woman attempting to teach her daughter a lesson about wetting her pants, but the situation quickly gets out of control. The woman continues to beat the young girl while the camera continues to roll. Given that Child abuse is still illegal in China, authorities have been made aware of the video. It is unknown whether any action was taken. UPDATE: We apologize, but the video has been deleted due to violence. 
1	After two years of performing management and coordination tasks at an 'exceptional level,' Stephen Baldwin's personal assistant, Matthew Phillips, was rewarded for his efforts when he agreed to take over the position of Stephen Baldwin Thursday. 'We really wanted to hire from within for this opening, and Matthew was a natural choice,' said publicist Melina Disanto, adding that the 33-year-old Phillips is the first person who comes to mind when she thinks of Stephen Baldwin. 'Although this new position doesn't come with a pay raise or more benefits, it actually has fewer responsibilities than Matthew's old job.' According to Stephen Baldwin sources, Stephen Baldwin applied for the Stephen Baldwin personal assistant position but was turned down. 
2	Woman Tied To Car, Dragged To Death By Muslim Husband Because She Served Dinner Late President Obama likes to insist that Islam is a religion of peace, but time and time again we are seeing violence at the hands of Shariah Law. This is getting out of hand and innocent women and children are paying the highest price. According to recent reports, a Muslim woman was recently tied to a car and dragged to her death by her husband. So what did she do to deserve this brutal act? Her husbands dinner was served too late by his wife. It was too cold for his liking, so he decided to teach her a lesson. Unfortunately, incidents like this are not isolated, and they cannot be ignored. 
2	What Muslims Are Doing In Retaliation To Shariah Law Being Banned In Alabama When the people of Alabama entered the polls last week, they were given the option to vote on a serious matter: whether or not to ban foreign laws from being enforced or recognized in their state. The amendment passed with a strong majority, ensuring that Sharia Law will never be recognized or imposed in the states court. The following Amendment was added to the Alabama Constitution: Called The American and Alabama Laws for Alabama Courts Amendment, Amendment 1 relates to the application of foreign law during the legal process involving an Alabama citizen. Foreign law refers to the laws of other countries or cultures. Currently, judges or other legal authorities discern whether foreign law is applied. Amendment 1 would create constitutional protection that foreign law is not applied if it violates the guaranteed rights of Alabama citizens. The Islamic community was instantly outraged at the passing of the law, and deemed it racist. Still, Alabama voters were quick to defend their position: reminding them that Islam is not a race and Sharia Law is in direction opposition (in many cases) to the Constitution. What do you think? Did Alabama do the right thing? 
3	South Africas Dr. Death Again Evades SentencingJanet Phelan Basson was first arrested in 1997, following the dissolution of the apartheid government. His much publicized trial in Pretoria High Court in the years 1999-2002 produced outcries of judicial bias by his prosecutors. With 200 witnesses against him, who testified to his involvement in multiple assassinations as well as fraud and embezzlement during his tenure as head of Project Coast, Dr. Basson was the sole witness in his defense. He was acquitted of all sixty seven charges against him. The legal contortions executed by the Judge Hartzenbergall resulting in Bassons acquittaleventuated in the State moving to have the judge recused. Hartzenberg, however, refused to step down from the case. Basson, who was a medical doctor as well as a member of the military, had been charged with giving poisoned food and drink to members of the South African Defense Forces and other operatives, with instructions to supply these to ANC members and other enemies of the state. A number of deaths reportedly occurred as a result of the poisonings. In addition, Basson was allegedly involved in providing operatives with poisoned clothing and underwear to be given to specific targets, as well as providing poisons for injection. He was also known to be developing a blacks-only biological weapon. Basson had been arrested with 1000 tablets of Ecstasy in his possession. The records of Project Coast and affiliated labs raise questions about whether he may have also been involved in drug dealing. He was also acquitted of these charges. The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) took another tack and in 2006 began to investigate Basson. He was subsequently charged by the Council with acting unprofessionally in his capacity as the head of Project Coast. And this time, he was found guilty. This past December, the HPCSA passed down its decision concerning Basson. His sentencing was scheduled for February of 2014. The sentencing may include a fine or removal of his license to practice medicine. However, Bassons attorney, Jaap Cilliers, did not show up in court on the sentencing date. And so Bassons sentencing was rescheduled, this time for June, four months out. And once again, Cilliers failed to attend. According to the HSPCA, Bassons attorney must be in attendance at his sentencing. And so Basson has continued to practice in Capetown, where he has a successful cardiology practice. Cilliers has been Bassons attorney for a number of years, and successfully defended him against the aforementioned criminal charges in Pretoria High Court. Cilliers himself appears no stranger to biological warfare, and was reportedly rushed to a hospital in May of last year after he claimed he was surreptitiously injected outside a courtroom. Cilliers made public statements about the attack indicating he had filed a police report concerning the assault, statements which have been denied by Lt Col Dlamini of the South African Police, who could find no record of such a report. According to a source in South Africa, Bassons matter in front of the Health Council may be dismissed if his attorney fails to show for three times in succession. While the public affairs representative for the Health Council, Charmaine Motloung, has denied that this is the case, her statements to this reporter appear to give some ambiguous wiggle room. In response to the query about the possibility of the case being dismissed due to the attorneys absence, Charmaine Motloung wrote: There is no such provision in our law or in the HPCSA Act and Regulations. One can argue prejudice as regards the delay but if the delay was not unreasonable and could be explained like in the current circumstances, the court will not just dismiss the matter. Dr. Bassons sentencing has not yet been rescheduled and it appears that he may have bought himself several more months, through his attorneys failure to show. Attorney Cilliers may indeed have hit upon a slam dunk strategy to keep his client in business. If this is so, we may expect to see more such attorney disregard for the administrative process in South Africa in future cases. Several attempts were made to reach Jaap Cilliers but he was unavailable for comment. Cilliers has been involved in a number of high profile cases, and was defense counsel in the Generals case, wherein former defence minister Magnus Malan and 20 military officers stood trial for murdering 13 people, among them children, in the KwaMakhutha township massacre of 1987. Cilliers also defended Jackie Selebi, a former national commissioner of the South African Police Service and former President of Interpol, who was found guilty of corruption in 2010. Janet C.

3	The medias claims about 30,000-strong Iranian terror and assassination force are dubious at bestMadison Ruppert, Contributor The claims about the terror and assassination force were especially interesting since U.S. officials have confirmed that Israeli Mossad has trained assassins to target Iranian nuclear scientists, mainstream journalists have confirmed Israel is behind the assassination of scientists involved in the Iranian nuclear program, and terrorists were trained on U.S. soil in order to better target Iran. Furthermore, no one seems to have a problem with a director of a think tank openly promoting terrorism or even promotion of terrorism by former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani, so long as they say the terrorism should target Iran. Media outlets ranging from Wireds Danger Room to CNN to the Takeaway to Frontpage jumped on the report originally published by Bill Gertz of the Washington Free Beacon to make a wide variety of quite unsubstantiated claims. The most insane part is that all of the unsubstantiated claims were based on an obscure, anonymous website that was simply citing another source, according to an investigative report by ProPublica. Ultimately, the 30,000 number can be traced back to Magnus Ranstorp, a Swedish terrorism researcher, quoted in a 2008 Christian Science Monitor article. Ranstorp isnt even sure where the number came from. I think obviously that it would be an inflated number of formal employees, Ranstorp said. Sick said the entire study has all the appearance of a very cheap piece of propaganda and should not be trusted. This would hardly be surprising given that the study was produced under an agreement with the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO), a branch of the Pentagon. Sick pointed out how the study not only uses highly questionable internet sources, but also contains blatant errors. In one section, for example, the study lays out in detail how Irans constitution defines the intelligence ministrys official functions, writes ProPublica. The problem, as Sick notes: Irans constitution doesnt mention an intelligence ministry, let alone define its functions. Whether the figures emanate from Iran or from western reporting, they are generally exaggerated and either meant as self-aggrandizing propaganda, if self-reported by Iran, or just approximations based on usually scant data or evidence, said Afshon Ostovar, a senior Middle East analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses who frequently writes on Iran. The number could be more or less accurate, but theres no way to know, Ostovar said. When asked about the report, Federal Research Division Chief David Osborne told ProPublica it was leaked to the media without authorization and declined to comment further because it is proprietary to the agency for which it was written. While the study indeed claims that Irans intelligence ministry employs more than 30,000 officers and support personnel, it also notes that Iranian intelligence is a difficult subject to study because so little information about it is publicly available. The study doesnt even pretend to include any original intelligence or reporting whatsoever, instead stating that the sources are Iranian blogs and news websites. The reliability of blog-based information may be questionable at times, the report admits. But it seems prudent to evaluate and present it in the absence of alternatives. In other words, theyre saying that even though they know the information could very well be completely inaccurate, theyre going to publish it anyway. It seems that the media sources couldnt even be bothered with questioning the veracity of the report, although a CNN spokeswoman told ProPublica that CNN checked the number with sources that led us to feel comfortable that the report was in line with the national security communitys understanding. CNN then aired a report (see below) detailing what they claimed were troubling new details about Iranian intelligence. The source for the number parroted throughout the media? According to the study, it is IranChannel, a website aggregating news critical of the Iranian government. IranChannel was citing a 2010 study, Shariah: the Threat, published by the Center for Security Policy. That study cited the Christian Science Monitors 2008 article. Interestingly, Ranstorp told ProPublica he did not recall citing the figure to the Monitor, although it might have originated with Kenneth Katzman, a Mideast specialist with the Congressional Research Service who often writes on Iran. However, Katzman said that he was not the source of the 30,000 figure and didnt know of any evidence supporting it, though he said it did not seem inordinately unreasonable. Instead of owning up to the dubious number Gertz said, In my 30-plus years in reporting on national security issues, I have found that such unclassified reports often use press reporting of such numbers to avoid having to use classified information. I also know that most of the people who write such reports have access to classified information about the subjects they write about and I doubt they would publish a figure that would be contradicted by classified assessments of the number of personnel in the [intelligence ministry], Gertz added. In an attempt to support the number and his use of it, Gertz pointed to a 2010 report published by Stratfor which said that as of 2006 Irans intelligence ministry had only 15,000 employees. To make matters even worse, Stratfor didnt cite a source for the figure. This just goes to show how easily and shamelessly a highly questionable figure can be used to support the U.S. mainstream medias narrative. This isnt all that surprising given the fact that the media has no problem pushing propaganda reports published by groups affiliated with terrorists so long as it is in line with the rest of the propaganda.

3	New report: San Onofre nuclear plant failures could have been prevented, larger disasters could still occurMadison Ruppert, Contributor According to the report, Southern California Edison made an end-run around federal regulatory guidelines when they replaced the defective steam generators at the San Onofre nuclear power plant. This move is referred to as a costly mistake that cant be fixed by plugging the tubes that carry radioactive steam or by operating the plant at reduced power. Unfortunately, thats exactly the solution that they think will work, as Southern California Edison is expected to propose the non-solution of running the reactors at 50% and 80% power. Nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen who has been quite vocal on the issue of Fukushima reveals in the report that there were major design changes at the plan which should have resulted in a license review. This review would have revealed the problems which led to considerable damage at the facility and the subsequent release of radiation thanks to the defective equipment at San Onofre earlier this year. The report states that the NRC likely would have discovered that Edison actually used a Mitsubishi computer model to evaluate the changes to the facility, while the model they used was not even capable of properly analyzing the Combustion Engineering design utilized at San Onofre. Instead, it is only capable of analyzing the wholly different Westinghouse design. Some significant changes were made in the facility, including: changing the unique tube support system to prevent vibration in the original design, removing the main structural stay cylinder, and packing a whopping 400 additional tubes into the design. According to the report, these design changes resulted in the top of the new steam generator being starved of water therefore making tube vibration inevitable. Furthermore, Gunderson states that these tubes are currently at risk of bursting in a main steam accident and spewing radioactivity into the air, hardly a risk worth taking. The report also concludes that the vibration problems are actually a symptom of the problem at San Onofre, not the root cause and that plugging these tubes will do nothing to change the design which causes these tubes to collide with each other. Gundersen says that Edisons plans are far from adequate, as they plan to rapidly restart the damaged reactors at reduced power after doing quite minimal repairs including plugging of damaged tubes transporting highly radioactive water. In the report, he says that these non-solutions are, in fact, quite dangerous as they could lead to critical equipment failure and potentially even more radiation releases. The report draws several conclusions, including that running the reactors at reduced power will not solve any of the underlying structural problems. These structural problems create the vibration which has and continues to damage the tubes inside of the San Onofre steam generators. The non-solutions being implemented will also do nothing to reduce the pressure both inside and outside of these tubes. This means that tubes which had already been damaged will continue to vibrate and thus damage the surrounding tubes and tube supports, further worsening the already considerable damage. The report further states that operating the facility at a lower power could potentially create a resonant frequency which might increase vibrations without creating obvious further damage. Furthermore, the report points to the fact that historical evidence gathered from other reactors shows that operating the plant at lower power is not an effective solution. Gundersen paints a pretty disturbing picture in the report, but this is far from meaningless fear mongering. In reality, it should serve as a wakeup call for those who still believe we have nothing to worry about in the case of San Onofre, and nuclear power in general. He states that plugging the tubes and restarting the reactor could very well lead to catastrophe, the magnitude of which would be unimaginable. If a steam-line accident were to occur, vibrationally induced tube damage at San Onofre could cause an inordinate amount of radioactivity to be released outside of the containment system, compromising public health and safety in one of the most heavily populated areas in the United States, writes Gundersen. The report puts forth some possible solutions instead of simply leaving us with intense concern and no recourse. One such potential solution would be to repair in place by cutting off the top section of the steam generators, thus allowing personnel access to them. However, they say this may be possible and it could take up to 18 months and cost roughly $400 million. Another would be to change the internal structure after additional analysis of water flow patterns in order to transport additional water to the upper U-bend regions or by entirely replacing the steam water separators. The report states that the only solution which would truly minimize the safety risks at San Onofre is to replace the existing steam generators completely through the license amendment process.

3	Third Party Debates and UFAA Offer a Road Map for Political SuccessBrandon Turbeville Likewise, there appears to be a universe where perpetual war is accepted by the masses as a necessity; while, in the other, the populace recognizes the necessity of ending it. Concurrently, one philosophy holds that a ravaged planet, large-scale death, and a constant culture of want is nothing more than collateral damage, while the other is doing its best to envision a world in which these conditions no longer exist. Of course, those individuals participating in the second version of reality the one seeking to free humanity from the clutches of the first have a vast disagreement on how to do so. While some may approach the implementation of much needed changes from the left, others may approach it from the right. Others may approach changing the establishment from a completely unique position. Regardless, it is undeniable that it is the first set of individuals who are granted virtually all of the air time and all of the so-called credibility in any given debate. In polite and traditional society, alternative (itself a pejorative term) ideas are ridiculed if they are ever able to slip by the gatekeepers of the phony left-right paradigm seeking to relegate the human mind to malevolently-constructed boundaries. In keeping with the parallel universe theme, the third party debate thanks in large part to the participation of Larry King who brought with him some level of mainstream media capital aired an alternative path to many Americans watching the Obama/Romney theatre. The true positive aspects of the airing of the debate was not in the outcome in the upcoming election (no one truly has any expectations of this), it was in the fact that in an election year where the two candidates struggle even to appear different in the presentation of their messages, visions of an alternative America, for a split second, managed to slip through. Obviously, we should not overemphasize the effects of the third party debate. We cannot allow ourselves to be overtaken with false hope or an inflated sense of what has taken place. However, we must not fall into the trap of hopelessness either. If anything, the third party debate should encourage those of us who are actually fighting to change the wasteland that is America into a garden of plenty that much more reason to continue our work. Wars cannot be won using a purely defensive strategy. Nor can they be successful by using only one type of offense. Civil disobedience, non-compliance, and education all have their place and all three are indispensable methods of resistance. However, we cannot ignore the political system as a mechanism for bringing about the change we desire to see. On October 30, 2012, a second third party debate between the candidates who received the most votes from the viewing audience at the first event is scheduled to take place. This time, the hopes are that even more attention will be focused on the event than there was the first time around, particularly the attention of the average American voter. The second debate, organized by Free and Equal, comes three days on the heels of the United Front Against Austerity conference, which takes place on October 27, a gathering of noted individuals opposed to the economic and civic implosion of the United States and specifically the implementation of austerity measures upon the American people. Most notably, it is the goal of the UFAA to hammer out a platform of demands by which to base a true revolution and political movement. The development of a set of demands has, of course, been one of my own talking points for the better part of a year as one may read in my article, The American Corporate Party and the Derailing of Revolution and my book, Five Sense Solutions. The UFAA conference will involve a series of addresses, both live and recorded, from distinguished speakers, as well as 4+ hours of moderated presentation of proposals and subsequent debate. The UFAA is not only focused on a platform, however, it is also focusing on the development of organization, a strategy and road map for political success, and the attraction of leadership to the cause. In the end, for all of the obstacles that we face and with the overall worsening of the condition regarding the fate of free humanity on a global scale, there are avenues of resistance that not only provide outlets for that resistance but for its success. These two gatherings the next Free And Equal third party debate and the UFAA may very well be the first hints of motion by one of the many vehicles we may use to free ourselves. Without a doubt, we must take advantage of every opportunity that comes our way. INN World Report Auditorium Read other articles by Brandon Turbeville here.

2	Morgan Freeman UNLEASHES On Obama On Live TV Actor Morgan Freeman caused quite the controversy when he appeared on 60 Minutes recently, and discussed his thoughts on Black History Month, calling it ridiculous. Youre going to relegate my history to a month? Freeman asked of Mike Wallace. What do you do with yours? Which month is white history month? No, come on, tell me? Well Im Jewish, responded Wallace. Okay. Which month is Jewish history month? Freeman asked. Wallace responded with the obvious: there isnt one, and he doesnt particularly want one either. I dont either, Freeman argued. I dont want a Black History Month. Black history is American history. Sensing a deeper issue in the conversation, Wallace asked Freeman about how he proposes we eliminate racism from society. Stop talking about it. Im going to stop calling you a white man, and Im going to ask you to stop calling me a black man, Freeman concluded. I know you as Mike Wallace. You know me as Morgan Freemanyou know what Im saying? What do you think of Freemans comments? Watch the video below and tell us what you think! 
2	Obama Supporter Gives Cop Attitude, Gets Exactly What She Deserves [VIDEO] A video of a liberal getting pulled over and attempting to give a police officer attitude is going viral. Why? Victoria King gets exactly what she deserves, and in todays world, thats a refreshing change of pace. According to reports, University of Central Florida police officer Timothy Isaac pulled King over at a routine traffic stop. King then proceeded to tell the officer that the car belonged to her mother, and she did not have the vehicle registration handy. When Isaac returned to the car after writing a ticket, he asked King to roll down the window. She refused, citing Obama as the reason she did not have to do what the cop said. After a few minutes of back-and-forth, Isaac shattered the window and arrested King. I forcefully pulled my arm back and broke the window due to the defendants blatant disregard of all of the orders that were given to her, and her attempt to close the window on my arm, Isaac wrote in his arrest report. Later, King was charged with resisting arrest and battery on a law enforcement officer. What do you think? Did King get what she had coming? This is exactly why we need Obama out of the White House immediately. 
3	Monsanto-Funded Science Denies Emerging Roundup-Cancer LinkSayer Ji, Contributor Two studies have appeared in scientific journals in the past eight months, both funded by Monsanto, and both discrediting a Roundup herbicide-cancer link.[i] [ii] The context within which these new studies are appearing is the growing body of experimental research indicating that the active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, along with the surfactants and related inactive ingredients found within glyphosate-based formulations, cause genetic damage associated with cancer initiation, and at levels far below those used agricultural applications and associated with real-world exposures.[iii] [iv] [v] [vi] [vii] This has put manufacturers and proponents of glyphosate, as well as Roundup Ready GM plants in a vulnerable position. If, the precautionary principle is employed and a much-needed reclassification of glyphosate as a class III carcinogen to a class II or I occurs, the increasingly global dominance of GM-based food crop systems will come to a screeching, regulation-induced halt. So, given the threat posed by non-industry funded research on glyphosates toxicity, Monsanto has been putting money into research and development but not in the reputable sense of the phrase bypaying for research to develop the storyline that, despite damning research to contrary, Roundup is still safe. Conflict of Interest Statement The authors have disclosed the funding source for this research. JSM [study author] has served has a paid consultant to Monsanto Company. Final decisions regarding the content of the manuscript were made solely by the four authors. Acknowledgment This research was supported by the Monsanto Company, St. Louis, Missouri Even if no such a conflict was explicitly declared, industry-funded research is almost exclusively positive, minimizing or denying harms to exposed populations associated with the products they are evaluating. A salient example is the recent summary of 176 studies by Baker[viii] which found that published research looking into the impact of Bisphenol A on human health resulted in exclusively pro-industry findings: Funding Harm No Harm Industry 0 13 (100%) Independent (e.g. government) 152 (86%) 11 (14%) Adding to the problem, the editorial boards of some of the journals within which the questionable science is printed are populated by paid consultants of the very industries they publish ostensibly impartial research on. For example, the editor of the journal Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology withinwhich latest Monsanto-funded glyphosate-cancer review was published, Gio Batta Gori, is notorious for being a tobacco industry consultant and for publishing junk science in his journal, which has been called: A Scientific Journal with Industrial Bias as Its Specialty. His journal published research in 2003, provided by the same company, Exponent, which employs three of the researchers who authored the latest glyphosate-cancer study, as well as one author on the 2011 glyphosate-cancer study, on the purported non-carcinogenicity of dioxin, a highly toxic ingredient in Agent Orange. Given these obvious conflicts of interest, from the bottom up and the top down, the time has come for people to enact reform with their dollars and their forks, and when worthwhile ballot initiatives emerge, their votes. #1: Stop buying anything not explicitly labeled non-GMO or certified organic, which amounts to the same assurance. #2: Grow it yourself, or support local organic growers. #3: Support the California Ballot Initiative to label GMOs.

2	Fallen Marines Father UNLEASHES On Obama, You Are An Embarrassment When Steve Hogan, the father of fallen Marine Hunter D. Hogan, received a condolence letter from President Barack Obama he was anything but pleased. In fact, he was so upset that he decided to send the letter back with a message of his own. That message has now gone viral. Read it below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Mr. Hogan? Mr. Barrack Hussein Obama, I am deeply saddened that you are the President of the United States. You sir are an embarrassment to the Oval Office. My son, as well as most Marines I know, despise you and your lack of representation for our military. Your ridiculous rules of engagement have caused the massive amount of casualties on your watch in Afghanistan. While we watch your media pander to your administration and clearly sweep things under the rug for you. I fully understand Marines die. You have tied their hands feet! I am thankful I did not serve under a Comm. in Chief such as you. I am sickened that my son had to. I wonder I doubt that you will see this, I hope you do though! 
3	This Is The Reality Of It: We Are Factually In A Recession. Period.Mac Slavo But one number in particular pretty much sums it all up. It depicts not just the worsening state of our economy, but puts the lies and machinations of the U.S. government on full display for the world to see. Youll often hear the media cite the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a measure of economic growth. It measures the rate at which our economy grows. In 2013, for example, our GDP was $17.08 trillion, up from the previous years $16.42 trillion. So, all of the goods and services sold throughout the United States (essentially, all of the money spent by Americans) rose about $661 billion dollars year-over-year. Most people might look at the number, see 4% growth, and say its a no-brainer. How can the economy not be growing if the GDP rose? The answer is simple. And when you look at it from the perspective Karl Denninger of the Market Ticker outlines below, you cant help but realize that youve been purposely duped into believing that things are getting better. Just the opposite is true. It is, in fact, contracting. That extra trillion dollars slammed into the system by The Fed pretty much wipes out any growth noted by the Federal governments statistics, because we never actually earned that money. Its debt. Not growth! Incidentally, the other oft-cited measure of economic health is the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which currently sits around record all-time highs of 16,000 points, is likewise benefiting from this illusion. Guess where that stock market growth came from? Yes, the very same credit being used to prop up the economy (that $85 billion or so in Fed Treasury purchases every month) is also keeping stocks at record highs. Back on Main Street, where most Americans live, were feeling the effects. Do we need to mention that the Patient Affordable Care Act has just forced working Americans to spend up to quadruple on their monthly premiums? Or that millions of Americans who are unemployed and are no longer counted in the official statistics have absolutelyno income whatsoeverbecause their unemployment insurance has run out?Or that the price of everything from food and energy to rent and clothing is rising? That kind of thing tends to happen when you debase your currency. Last week famed contrarian economist John Williams noted that the economy gave a powerful recessionary signal in January that had not been seen since right before the market crash in 2007. Furthermore, one of the leading economic indicators of a recessionary environment is the price of copper because it is so closely associated with global growth. It has dropped significantly in recent months and it could well be signaling a coming crash in stocks just as it did in 2008. When, not if, this thing buckles again were going to be in for an unprecedented period in U.S. history. The system was on the brink of total collapse in 2008, as evidenced by Representative Brad Sherman on the House floor: Theyve used up all of the tricks in their magic hat. One misstep here and were going down. Any number of domestic or geo-political events could trigger a meltdown in U.S. stock markets and send the broader economy crashing.

1	Following Ohio States 42-20 victory over Oregon in Mondays inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship, graduating seniors from both teams were admittedly somber after being financially exploited on the field for the last time in their collegiate careers. I dont think it really sunk in until after the game ended, but its hard knowing this was the last time Ill ever go out there and be completely taken advantage of by an incredibly wealthy institution earning millions upon millions of dollars whenever I play, said senior Oregon center Hroniss Grasu, who was visibly saddened when describing his final appearance as a pawn used to make enormous profits for his coaches, school officials, and the NCAA without earning a single cent in return. You never think the day will come when you wont be able to sacrifice your body on Saturdays for no pay whatsoever while your school generates incredible amounts of money off your back. Im just glad I really cherished it while it lasted. Grasu added, however, that he is excited to play in the NFL next season, where his contract can be immediately voided as soon as he suffers a career-threatening injury.

3	The FBI Just Released an Orwellian Video Game to Propagandize ChildrenBy Justin Gardner The stated purpose of the FBIs new program, called Dont Be A Puppet: Pull Back the Curtain on Violent Extremism, is to keep young peoplefrom embracing violent extremist ideologies in the first place. While it is laudable to discourage young people from engaging in violence, the campaign reeks of hypocrisy. As Martin Luther King, Jr. stated, the U.S. government is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. Thats why its hard to tell to who we should be thinking of when reading the FBIs website. More and more, violent extremists are trying to radicalize and recruit our nations youth, especially through the Internet and social media. This websiteuses a series of interactive materials to educate teens on the destructive nature of violent extremism and to encourage them to think critically about its messages and goals. The site emphasizes that by blindly accepting radical ideologies, teens are essentially becoming the puppets of violent extremists who simply want them to carry out their destructive missionwhich often includes targeting or killing innocent people. These characterizations are certainly true of groups such as ISIS and Boko Haram, but they could also describe elected officials who whip the citizenry into supporting wars of aggression such as Vietnam and Iraq. Radicalizing and recruiting youth into the us vs. them mindset, blindly accepting ideologies such as pre-emptive war, and accepting that the killing of innocent people is necessary for the cause, are all goals of puppet masters to recruit soldiers for military aggression. Those are strategies of our own violent extremists such as Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Lyndon Johnson, Barack Obama and all the other politicians who spouted lies and propaganda to gain acceptance and to prevent critical thinking about their messages and goals. The free video game on the FBI website, called The Slippery Slope to Violent Extremism, involves a running goat that you maneuver with the left/right arrow keys to avoid hitting blocks. If you hit a block (which represents a violent extremist) too many times then you lose the game. Upon losing, youll see a screen saying: AVOID DISTORTED LOGIC: These catechisms could summarize the propaganda of U.S. politicians and MSM cheerleaders who revel in the false notion of American exceptionalism and the wicked might of the military-industrial complex. They could be a summary of the Statement of Principles laid out by the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a think tank run by well-known war mongers that had long advocated for the invasion of Iraq and any country that stood in the way of American hegemony. PNAC was active in the 1990s, finally achieving their goal of invading and occupying Iraq as part of an overarching strategy to gain military control of the region and geostrategic positioning. The founders of this disreputable group included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol and others who worship at the altar of big government and military might. Yes, lets discourage kids from engaging in all forms of violent extremism, from foreign terrorist groups to the war-mongering of our own politicians. Justin Gardner writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com The FBI needs to PULL THEIR HEAD OUT and call violent extremism for what it really is. ISLAMIC MUSLIM EXTRMIST TERRORISTS! The FBI needs to PULL THEIR HEAD OUT and call violent extremism for what it really is. ZIONISTJEWISH EXTREMIST TERRORISTS! Since 9/11, about which the government lied, right wing terrorism has killed more people than Muslims or Zionists. Far outdistancing all, 150,000 Americans have killed each other in everyday murders. STOP calling others what you really are, your statements are absurd and are seen for what they really are~ Amen sons of anarchy 5768 ME TOO The US gun totting military is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world, By far the most violent and extremist ideology is Zionism. Vietnam was the result of he spread of communism beyond the borders of the former USSR, China, and N Korea and the fact that Ike and JFK had promised the Free South Vietnam citizens protection from the communist North. The French and Vietnamese had requested military aid and some of the allied troops were from the UN. The brutal commie VC and NVA were imposing death, re-education camps and torture in order to eradicate any resistance. After a surprise attack, the Tet offensive that failed in early 1968, General Giap wrote in his memoirs that we had them on their knees ready to surrender. Then LBJ decided to go to the peace table and in effect surrendered to them. Thanks to the commie led riots and protest, and Hanoi Jane Fonda and her cronies, we left the South Vietnamese to suffer a defeat by the communist and the killing fields began. Nixon saved some face by bombing the crap out of Hanoi before we left. From a guy that was there. US Navy vet, 1966-1970; Hospitalman (HM2), FMF Corpsman Doc, Pharmacy Tech; the Big E (CVN-65), USS Repose (AH-16); USS Lexington (CVA/S/T-16); God Bless America, the most Exceptional Nation of the face of the Earth, ever; America, Home of the Free Because of the Brave; Anchors Aweigh, Semper Fi, Ooorah. Bullshit. The Vietnam war started under french colonial control and continued. Despite the spectre of the commie boogeyman and fear of international communism the history speaks for its self. North Vietnam was invaded shortly after American withdrawal by the Chinese. This sucker punch from China occurred during the NVA invasion of Cambodia to crush the Khmer Rouge regime (an effort to not only depose a madman, but to reunify a Vietnam split up under French colonialism). Kinda throws a wrench in that international communist solidarity theory. The war for Vietnam was lost when we installed a puppet Jesuit dictator in South Vietnam that went about slaughtering Buddhists and non Catholics. There were egregious crimes on both sides, but the NVA were not the ones that started the war, nor did they intervene in a sovereign nation on behalf of a policy that was essentially support for colonialism. 
3	SNAP Benefit Reductions Begin TodayChris Carrington The effects of the entitlement cuts will not show itself for sometime, but when it does its not going to be pretty. Those families who have found themselves on the program through job losses or a reduction in hours will scrimp harder to make ends meet. They will manage to keep food on the table. It may not be decent food, it may not be nutritionally balanced, but they will continue to manage. There will be more deaths this winter, though, as families face the choice of eating or heating. The young, the old and the infirm will suffer most. Homelessness will increase. Those for whom entitlements are a lifestyle choice, its a different matter altogether. The professionally unemployed will not take kindly to a reduction in the amount of cash they have to spend on the latest electronics, alcohol, drugs and whatever else they put before food. Its unlikely they will change their lifestyle to accommodate the reduction of dollars. Child hunger and absolute child poverty will increase as time goes on. Kids who are not old enough to understand whats going on will suffer the most. Unable to fend for themselves, cases of neglect and hunger will increase. Many will think that Im over-reacting, its just a few dollars after all. To most it is and, as I said, they will adjust, but many will not. Not because they cant, but because they wont. They chose not to. Its the children in those families that will suffer the most. Higher food costs and unemployment have added greatly to the costs of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and the bill is now running at some $80bn a year. With 47 million Americans now receiving some form of government aid, the only way to reduce these costs effectively in the long term is to create decent jobs that will allow millions of people to remove themselves from the millstone around their necks that government dependence has become to them.

He claims that Islam in a religion of peace. He fosters the idea that any hesitation to accept these refugees with open arms is fear-based discrimination. Clearly, he is not paying attention to what is happening in Europe. In Germany, for example, the volume of rapes and sexual attacks in the country has escalated dramatically. Many of these attacks are coming from refugees. Weve heard many tragic stories, but videos like this give a glimmer of hope that these invaders who are preying on kindness of foreign nations will get a taste of what they deserve.

3	Money Is Not Safe In The Big BanksGlobalResearchTV 
1	Following a phone call home Monday, Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander said that he hadnt even bothered to explain the difference between a no-hitter and a perfect game to his parents, claiming that going into the various details would be more trouble than it was worth. Obviously ones better than the otherone is perfectbut no matter how many times I try to tell them that a no-hitter is also a pretty amazing accomplishment, they just dont get it, Verlander told reporters. Whats worse is that they pretend theyre really proud, and in some ways they are, but I can tell by the tone of their voice that its forced. I know if I told them I threw a perfect game they would be genuinely ecstatic, even though they have no clue what that means. They just know the word perfect is before game. When I eventually told them that, yes, a perfect game is ultimately more impressive, they said, Have you ever tried doing that? Verlander continued. I love them like crazy, but sometimes I dont know why I bother trying to share my life with them. A frustrated Verlander, who threw his second career no-hitter last Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays, said his parents Richard and Kathy had asked if he would be receiving some kind of promotion for his accomplishment, if this meant he would finally be allowed to hit during the games, if he would have received a promotion had he thrown a perfect game instead, why he slacks off and throws some pitches slower than others, and whether or not he needed any money. When Verlander once again explained that it is very hard to throw a no-hitter and that every pitcher dreams of throwing one, his mother and father reportedly said, Thats nice, Justin. We love and support you no matter what you do. I should have hung up the phone right there, but instead I brought up how proud Coach Leyland was of me, and then they started in with, if hes so proud, maybe he should let me pitch more than once every five days, Verlander said. At least my brother gets what I do. Hes cool. Several times throughout the conversation, an exasperated Verlander attempted to explain that just because a ball is hit to the second baseman doesnt mean an actual hit is recordedan explanation his father rejected out of hand, insisting that it sure looked like a hit to [him]. In addition, Verlanders mother asked her son if the one walk he allowed was indicative of a larger problem he wasnt telling his parents about. Verlanders mother also questioned whether her son was happy. She thought I looked too serious out there and that it seemed like I wasnt having any fun, Verlander said. I told her that Im fine, but then she went on about how I shouldnt be embarrassed if I wanted to start over with a more fulfilling career. Then she said it might help to talk to my uncle who used to play baseball. Christ, he played one year of JV in high school, Verlander added. Verlander, who signed a five-year, $80 million contract extension in 2010, told reporters his parents had never really understood his job as a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, and said they would only be truly proud of him if he played for the New York Yankees. Their eyes light up at the mention of the New York Yankees. My mom will say something about how Dad just read in an article that the Yankees want to improve their pitching, and then shell ask if thats something I could apply for, Verlander said. Over and over she says how it cant hurt to call them. And that the next time we play the Yankees, I should make my presence known by giving them my business card, a cover letter, and a resum. I tried to tell her that the Tigers were a really good baseball team with a rich history, but then she asked if it was as rich as the Yankees, Verlander added with a sigh. Its really fucking annoying when shes right. Before Verlander hung up the phone, his mother reportedly asked her son if he was eating properly, and if she could just tell her friends that he threw a perfect game anyway. 
1	With the United States facing a daunting array of problems at home and abroad, leading historians courteously reminded the nation Thursday that when making tough choices, it never hurts to stop a moment, take a look at similar situations from the past, and then think about whether the decisions people made back then were good or bad. According to the historians, by looking at things that have already happened, Americans can learn a lot about which actions made things better versus which actions made things worse, and can then plan their own actions accordingly. 'In the coming weeks and months, people will have to make some really important decisions about some really important issues,' Columbia University historian Douglas R. Collins said during a press conference, speaking very slowly and clearly so the nation could follow his words. 'And one thing we can do, before making a choice that has permanent consequences for our entire civilization, is check real quick first to see if human beings have ever done anything like it previously, and see if turned out to be a good idea or not.' 'It's actually pretty simple: We just have to ask ourselves if people doing the same thing in the past caused something bad to happen,' Collins continued. 'Did the thing we're thinking of doing make people upset? Did it start a war? If it did, then we might want to think about not doing it.' In addition, Collins carefully explained that if a past decision proved to be favorableif, for example, it led to increased employment, caused fewer deaths, or made lots of people feel good inside then the nation should consider following through with the same decision now. While the new strategy, known as 'Look Back Before You Act,' has raised concerns among people worried they will have to remember lots of events from long ago, the historians have assured Americans they won't be required to read all the way through thick books or memorize anything. Instead, citizens have been told they can just find a large-print, illustrated timeline of historical events, place their finger on an important moment, and then look to the right of that point to see what happened afterward, paying especially close attention to whether things got worse or better. 'You know how the economy is not doing so well right now?' Professor Elizabeth Schuller of the University of North Carolina said. 'Well, in the 1930s, financial marketsno, wait, I'm sorry. Here: A long, long time ago, way far in the past, certain things happened that were a lot like things now, and they made people hungry and sad.' 'How do you feel when you're hungry? Doesn't feel good, does it?' Schuller added. 'So, maybe we should avoid doing those things that caused people to feel that way, don't you think?' Concluding their address, the panel of scholars provided a number of guidelines to help implement the strategy, reminding the nation that the biggest decisions required the most looking back, and stressing the importance of checking the past before one makes a decision, not afterward, when the decision has already been made. While many citizens have expressed skepticism of the historians' assertions, the majority of Americans have reportedly grasped the concept of noticing bad things from earlier times and trying not to repeat them. 'I get it. If we do something bad that happened before, then the same bad thing could happen again,' said Barb Ennis, 48, of Pawtucket, RI. 'We don't want history to happen again, unless the thing that happened was good.' 'When you think about it, a lot of things have happened already,' Ennis added. 'That's what history is.' In Washington, several elected officials praised the looking-back-first strategy as a helpful, practical tool with the potential to revolutionize government. 'The things the historians were saying seemed complicated at first, but now it makes sense to me,' said Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who reversed his opposition to oil-drilling safety regulations after checking past events and finding a number of 'very, very sad things [he] didn't like.' 'I just wished they'd told us about this trick before.'

2	Federal Judge Wants To Arrest Eric Holder For This Massive Crime Eric Holder seems to be in no rush to leave his position as attorney general, given that months have passed since he announced his retirement. Its shocking that hes been able to maintain the position for so long, given his suspicion involvement in national scandals. Now, a recently unsealed set of documents from an ongoing court case has once again raised eyebrows about the Department of Justice under Holder, and their potential involvement in fraud. The controversial case involves a former ATF agent named Jay Dobyns, who is suing the agency for damaging his reputation. Judge Francis Allegra accused seven Department of Justice attorneys of fraud upon the court and asked that they not take part in the case. The judge also specifically pointed to Holder, given that the case stems from ATF intimidation of a witness, and the DoJ lawyers keeping the intimidation quiet. (ATF) lawyers ordered the agent in question not to communicate the threat to the court and stated that there would be repercussions if the agent did not follow counsels instructions, Judge Allegra wrote in his statement. Its very, very serious. Judges dont make allegations like this cavalierly. Its only after they have looked at the evidence and they have deep concerns that something is not quite right. Last summer, Allegra awarded Dobyns $173,000 in damages. What do you think of the unsealed case? Are there bound to be more of the same still out there? 
2	Fox News Host Looses It, Destroys Obama At White House Press Conference [VIDEO] President Barack Obama did not back down from his push for gun control on Friday, when he had press secretary Josh Earnest echo his call for stricter laws. The problem? By the point the press conference was held, the FBI was already investigating the San Bernardino shooting as an act of terrorism. Fortunately, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy was ready to ask the tough questions that the liberal media was too afraid to. The president thinks that if there are potentially two terrorists sitting around planning a mass murder, they may call it off because President Obama has put in place common-sense gun laws? Doocy asked Earnest. Earnest quickly fired back, claiming that all four weapons used by the shooters had been obtained legally. He also argued that terrorism had not been confirmed as a motive. That argument is extraordinarily weak, given that shooter Tashfeen Malik had openly pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Reports also indicate that two of the weapons being used by the attacking couple were provided to them by someone else. That violates Californias firearms laws, which state it is illegal for any person who is not a California licensed firearms dealer (private party) to sell or transfer a firearm to another non-licensed person (private party). That means that the weapons used were, in fact, obtained illegally. Doocy was smart to call out that Obamas so-called solution would have proved ineffective int his instance. What do you think? Is Obama absolutely clueless or simply ignoring facts? 
3	Whistleblower Reveals World Bank Corruption in New InterviewJoe Wright Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning are taking center stage at the moment. Yet, former World Bank Senior Legal Counsel, Karen Hudes, seen in the video below with Sean Stone, and a new video interview with RTs Abby Martin is revealing equally important information about corruption at the World Bank, and a tiny group pulling the strings of politicians and the media to suppress knowledge of their activities. The World Bank is already notorious for its wide range of human rights violations, land-grab schemes, environmental destruction and economic attacks on sovereign nations and local communities. Hudes offers some additional details about what she asserts is one single group controlling world financial markets and media. She also offers names of people who were involved in blackmail surrounding a 2007 prostitution scandal. Hudes has been charged by Attorney General Eric Holder with trespassing after being arrested May 13th at an office of the World Bank. Hear the story that corporate media is ignoring. Hudes bio highlights her 21-year experience at the World Bank as Senior Legal Counsel: She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law Association. It is worth noting that much of what Hudes discusses from her perspective shows the level of compartmentalization that takes place in large governmental organizations. For example, she states that she believes the World Bank is finally fulfilling its mandate by stopping the next world war. However, the deliberate destablization campaigns with subsequent destruction and reconstruction projects, as documented by other insiders such as John Perkins, call this idealistic view into serious question. Hudes maintains that it is exactly this type of corruption that is being rooted out, and why people like her are being targeted.

1	Following the passing of 82-year-old Joseph Howerton Saturday, the American people were, for the very first time, forced to confront the reality that death is an inevitable part of life that one day awaits us all. Howerton, who has caused all American citizens to be aware of their own mortality. While sources confirmed that the nation's 311 million residents were aware of death as a basic concept, the demise of Ohio retiree Howerton reportedly marked the first instance in which death became fully real to the U.S. populace, and not simply an abstract idea removed from their own lives. 'When I heard that [Howerton] died, it suddenly occurred to me for the first time that, 'Oh, my God, everybody dies, and once they do, they dont come back,'' said Philadelphia real estate agent Tom Marsh, 52, describing a reaction shared by every other person in the country within hours of the news that Howerton had passed away. 'Sure, I'd heard about people dying and seen it in movies and books and stuff, but I never had to come to grips with it until now.' 'We're all going to end up like Joseph Howerton,' concurred Phoenix-area factory worker Tami Weiss, 31, shaking her head slowly in apparent shock. 'My parents, my friends, everyone. Even me.' Since Howerton's death from complications related to pneumonia, millions of people in all 50 states have reportedly spent hours 'wrapping [their heads] around' the notion of life's impermanence, with more than 60 percent of all Americans vowing to cherish and appreciate their living friends and relatives with greater frequency, and 85 percent lying awake at night pondering the certitude and finality of death with mounting anxiety. Most American media organizations struggled with how to portray Howerton's death. Although sources said the nation's entire citizenry had confronted death firsthand to a much lesser degree in 2001 following the death of St. Cloud, MN house cat Boots, nothing had prepared the population for the level of existential awareness that comes when an actual human being dies. Americans also noted that they were very young when their grandfathers died so they didn't really have to deal with it then. 'It's like, one minute Joseph Howerton was there, and the next minute he literally just didnt exist anymore,' said noted author Cormac McCarthy, who needed at least three days to fully process the fact that the 82-year-old's death was a normal and natural occurrence in life. 'His body was still there, but his actual spirit or soul or whatever was just gone, forever. It justit's blowing me away.' In response to Americas growing comprehension of mortality as an inescapable fact of life, Congress plans to form a number of special committees this week that will spend long hours pondering Howerton's death, estimating how many years their own respective relatives have left to live, and coming to grips with how these deaths might affect them when they finally do occur. President Obama also emerged from a two-day period of quiet introspection to speak on Howerton's death early Monday. Four of the 308 million Americans who faced mortality for the first time following Howerton's death. 'Obviously, we went through this a little bit when Mary Greer of Twin Falls, ID passed away, but we weren't really that close to her, so this is different,' the president said in a nine-hour-long address delivered at 3 a.m. last night. 'It's just sort of a mind-fuck to think that everything dies and really none of us means anything in the grand scheme of things, because eventually we'll all be completely forgotten. So, in a way, its almost like all that matters is this moment right now, because everything in the past gets forgotten, and we all have only a short time to live in the future, so it's all just completely, I don't know, temporary or something.' 'Do you know what I mean?' Obama asked the nation. At press time, all 311 million Americans were quietly asking a friend or relative if they knew of someone they could talk to about this. 
1	With the Lakers' 99-86 victory over the Magic in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Kobe Bryant silenced critics by achieving what most had thought impossible: winning an NBA title with Luke Walton on his team. 'I was so sick of hearing people say how I couldn't do it with Luke out there,' said Bryant, acknowledging that his teammate's deficiencies have overshadowed the Lakers since Walton was drafted in 2003. 'It gets annoying to hear that question over and over, but you can't argue it. You can't deny it. You have to show that you can prevail alongside one of the worst small forwards in the game.' 'Now I just want to kick back and savor the moment,' Bryant added. 'I feel like a huge 6-foot-8, 235-pound burden has been lifted from my back.' Bryant, who averaged 32.4 points a game and was named MVP of the NBA Finals, played with a fiery determination and lifted his Walton-compensation skills to an almost superhuman level, ultimately erasing any doubt that he was capable of greatness while playing alongside Walton. According to Bryant, it was vital to step up his game and take on a leadership role in order to surmount the countless flaws in Luke Walton's game, which include playing a slow, hindering style of offense that relies on ruining pick and roll plays; clogging up lanes with an ungainly lumbering stride on the transition; and making slow, drifting passes to double-covered players. In addition, Bryant said he tried to focus on making up for Walton's lack of production by scoring at least ten times as many points as the small forward. While coach Phil Jackson said losing to the Celtics by 39 points in Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals motivated Bryant to succeed, he acknowledged that Kobe could not overcome Walton's utter lack of talent alone. 'Kobe certainly put up big numbers, but he also rallied this young group of players and took their play to another level with him,' Jackson said. 'Winning in the Luke Walton era took a total team effort. They should be proud of what they accomplished. You have to be at the very pinnacle of your game to rise above a player of Walton's caliber.' Bryant credited Jackson for working tirelessly to assemble the pieces necessary to fill the hole created when Walton joined the team. He also praised recently acquired players and veterans alike for handling the challenge of guarding Magic center Dwight Howard, defending perimeter shooters Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis, and keeping the ball out of Walton's hands to prevent him from screwing up their chance to win a title. 'We were able to prove all the doubters wrong because we had an excellent game plan that we executed at the highest level,' said Bryant, who verified before each play that his teammates knew their assignments and were prepared to shutdown Walton's dominating awkwardness in the paint. 'It was physically draining to limit Luke's missed scoring opportunities, but that's what it takes to win.' 'Personally, I don't think Shaq could have won with Walton,' Byrant added. 'I'm not even sure Jordan could have.' Lakers luminary and part-owner Magic Johnson said that Bryant has proven himself to be the preeminent talent in the league, and that he was 'astonished' the Lakers had even made the playoffs with Walton on the team. Johnson was not alone in expressing his surprise. 'Believe me, what he did defies all logic,' said Lakers small forward Luke Walton, adding that it was unlikely Bryant and the Lakers could win back-to-back championships with a player as indescribably mediocre as himself. 'I'll admit it. I didn't think he could pull it off.' 
2	See How Paula Deen Is Taking Over The Internet Last year, celebrity chef Paula Deen made headlines after she was dropped from the Food Network. The action was a result of her admission that she had used racial slurs in the past. The action marked the end of a career which began in 1999or so they thought. Deen first made television appearances on the Food Network in the late nineties, and later secured her own show called Paulas Home Cooking. Still, her long successful career was ripped to shreds when she made a public admission that she had used the n-word in the past. After the incident, Deen apologized profusely, but to no avail. I want people to understand that my family and I are not the kind of people that the press is wanting to say we are, the TV Personality claimed, Your color of your skin, your religion, your sexual preference does not matter to me. But its whats in the heart, and my family and I try to live by that. I am here to say I am so sorry. I was wrong, yes, I have worked hard and I made mistakes, but that is no excuse. Now, it appears that Deen is not prepared to go down with a fight. She has decided to start her own online network, which is being backed by a $100 million investment from Najafi Cos., a private equity firm. The Paula Deen Network will be a subscriber-based network. Deen has told reporters that she believes that going digital is the next logical step in her career. What do you think? Will you support Paula Deens new network? 
3	Drought-Stricken L.A. Admits to Using Weather Modification To Produce More RainBy Mac Slavo For California, it has meant outright desperation as water reserves disappear and needs for cities and farms have created a standing crisis. Water and rainfall remain consequential to life as we know it. Mankind is no longer leaving it up to just praying for rain and waiting for a miracle. Now, a company in the Los Angeles area has admitted that it was hired to seed the clouds and make it rain. Via Daily Mail: El Nio has brought some much needed rain to California in recent months, but a Los Angeles storm earlier this week may owe some credit to unnatural modifications. For the first time since 2002, the Department of Public Works has turned to cloud seeding, using generators to shoot silver iodide into the clouds to produce more rain. The county estimates that this produces roughly 15 percent more rainfall Cloud seeding is a weather modification process that aims to increase the amount of rain in a particular area. According to the L.A. Times, this method has been used in the county to boost the amount of rain produced by clouds since the 1950s, taking a hiatus during heavy rains or periods of potential flooding from wildfire devastation. And so, rain has increased in California by something like 15%, and L.A. is happy to get all the water it can. But cloud seeding is not without its consequences it could keep it from raining in the area downwind, or have other potentially disastrous effects: The company says the method has no significant environmental effects, as the amount of the seeding materials used are very small in relation to the affected area. (But) It could have unintended consequences, including a change in precipitation or other environmental impact downwind of the target area, though such effects have not yet been demonstrated. An earlier cloud seeding contract from 2009 was terminated in L.A. after the Station Fire, which destroyed about 250 square miles of the Angeles National Forest, L.A. Times writes. Technology and money can make it happen, and there is reason to think much more is going on than just seeding clouds to bump the rainfall. When it comes to blame for the drought and the environment in general, many are quick to point to the hyped-effects of global warming and climate change, which are supposedly attributed to the every day activity of people en masse. But few are daring enough to look up at the sky and question the weather manipulation programs that have become common place and which are being carried out covertly on behalf of a shadowy agenda to control the weather, and the economic cloud that surrounds it. Researcher Peter A. Kirby explains how a secret project on the scale of the Manhattan Project may have been incubated under government research projects to engineer the weather: After so many years of watching airplanes produce the lines in the sky, largely without knowing of what this Project consists or why, we have recently gained an understanding. Evidence suggests that todays chemtrail spraying operations consist of airplanes saturating our atmosphere with nano-sized particles influenced by electromagnetic energy for the purpose of weather modification. U.S. patent #4,686,605 Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earths Atmosphere, Ionosphere and/or Magnetosphere shows how stratospheric and tropospheric aerosols can be manipulated using electromagnetic energy in order to modify the weather. The ground-based antennas (known as ionospheric heaters) needed to produce the appropriate electromagnetic energy exist. For a detailed discussion, please see the authors previous article Smoking Gun: The HAARP and Chemtrails Connection. The 1996 U.S. military document Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025 outlines a program using aerosols sprayed from airplanes which are then manipulated with electromagnetic energy in order to modify the weather. . Controlling Earths weather would necessarily require a gigantic scientific effort. Oddly enough, when one looks for a National effort in weather modification, one finds a lot. Specifically, if one looks, one can find a history of weather control programs involving electromagnetic energy and atmospheric particles; all in a coherent chronological order. It is stunning to learn that there are means for manipulating aerosols with electromagnetic energy in effort to change weather patterns. But there are many scientific papers on the topic, and experiments to boot. Many of these agencies are likely compartmentalized and dont understand how they fit in to the larger project but the truth is that most dont want to know along with the rest of the general public. They dont look up at the sky for the same reason they drag to work, and live an empty life. Most are too conditioned by fear to face the truth, whatever it proves to be. For now, it is enough to point out that California is admittedly altering the weather in the hopes of catching up on its lost water. But what are the true causes of the drought in the first place, and what other aspects of weather are being changed for the benefit of a few, and the detriment of entire populations? Read more: You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com The Great state of Californication. God works in mysterious ways. So according to you, everyone in CA is evil, is that what youre saying? What about all the good Christians who live here? How can you condemn an entire state of people you dont know? Calm down there. Guilty conscience much? Nowhere is evil mentioned in his post. Nor does it condemn every resident anywhere in the post. But that being said, where are all the good Christians (why you put that in quotes is beyond me?) who keep electing these Luciferian politicians for the past how many decades? An article i n my local paper recently ran an article admitting to cloud seeding in my area recently as well. Complete with a picture of one of the pilots next to her plane with the smile of a lunatic on her face. Thanks for this Mac, and for doing some research on the issue. Yes, there is evidence that TPTB have been playing their HAARP out in the Pacific to keep rain from California, the main Food Basket for the country, as part of their plan to take the U.S. down, and make us just a mere part of a region of their intended (totalitarian) New World Order. Hopefully, The People will continue, in various ways, to thwart their best-laid schemes; like L.A. seeding the clouds back to producing some needed precipitation. Its a war. May the Good Guys win. governments move in mysterious ways, somewhere between haarp, gwen, chemtrails and releasing the water from various damns would seem to be a good bet for the drought. Seeding the clouds is not as mysterious and it would seem well advised. Relative to the level of manipulation our highjackers have been engaged in; making it rain is childs play. Meanwhile, our Agenda adherent traitors achieved the opposite with Californias Central Valley. Any manipulations that will wreak humanitarian and financial havoc and remove humans from rural life. Why does this article make claims of weather modification from an unnamed source? If you notice whoever wrote this refers to a company that is responsible and goes so far as to state that this company has admitted to weather modification and even made public statements admitting to it. Really? You cant do any better than coming up with a company who is involved? What company? Do they have a name? An address? A phone number? This article is hogwash bullshit. If not, prove it what company are you referring to? Or is this one of those deals where the company will kill you if you reveal their name? What a bunch of bullshit. 
3	Are You Prepared For a US Bank Bail-In?Jeff Berwick The days of the federal government stealing money from taxpayers, or borrowing it from the Federal Reserve, to save troubled banks as in they did in the 2008 crisis may be over. Congress is considering imitating the theft in Cyprus and letting troubled banks bail-in depositor money in order to make themselves solvent. Jim Sinclair, chairman and chief executive officer of Tanzania Royalty Exploration Corp., and whose family started Goldman Sachs, Salomon Brothers, Lehman Brothers, and others, has been warning of this for a while. Bail-ins are coming to North America without any doubt, and will be remembered as the Great Leveling, of the great Flushing. Not only can it happen here, but it will happen hereIt stands on legal grounds by legal precedent both in the US, Canada and the UK. Financial expert Michael Snyder adds, When major banks fail, they are going to bail them out by grabbing the money that is in your bank accounts. This is going to absolutely shatter faith in the banking system and it is actually going to make it far more likely that we will see major bank failures all over the Western world. This news isnt exactly new, but the story is still developing, the monetary system is much closer to collapse and the bail-in is imminent. In fact, US banks presented the Federal Reserve with a bail-in plan to pay for large banks restructuring in the event of a future crisis, The Wall Street Journal reports. The plan was presented to the US Federal Reserve in an attempt to preempt tougher rules from the regulators. The proposal presented to Federal Reserve officials would involve the largest financial-services holding companies would be willing to hold a certain amount of debt and equity which would be used to prop up any failed bank subsidiary seized by regulators, but the regulators will likely stick to their own plans which involves more aggressive measures including capping bank-size, breaking-up institutions or forcing banks to take on more long-term debt. In the end, however, its not just creditors who will be on the hook but depositors as well. Jim Sinclair pointed out that banks legally own depositors funds as soon as the depositors hand those funds over to the banks. The money becomes the banks and the depositors actually become unsecured creditors holding promises to pay. Previously the banks were obligated to pay back this loan on demand with cash. Under the new Federal Deposit Insurance Company Bank of England (FDIC-BOE) plan revealed this year, however, these promises to pay become equity in the bank, which wont be able to be used as payments for bills, which is why most people have money in the bank in the first place. The point is that your money is not yours while it is deposited with a bank. And bail-ins are coming to shatter any illusion that they are for US depositors. Notice that banks are already setting up deposits for seizure. Despite the excuses of the likes of JPMorgan, the banks are indeed clamping down on outgoing international wire transfers and now putting in limits for withdrawal that they are closing the doors. If you dont get your money out now, possibly by end of this year or sooner, you may not be able ever to get it out. Once doors are closed the federal government might do a bank holiday and bail in to make the banks solvent again. At best you may get some bank equity that is both illiquid and which will ultimately be worth a tiny fraction of the deposit it replaces. And, not to mention FATCA coming into effect in July 2014 it will be nearly impossible for an American to get a bank account outside the US (it already is, but will be even worse).

3	Barrosos Banking Union: the Next Step in Long Planned Superstate AgendaKeelan Balderson, Contributor Without mincing words the Bilderberg member called for the end of national sovereignty, and in its wake a federation of nation-states under the centralized control of unelected EU bureaucrats should be formed [2]; a vastly different system than was originally sold to the public back in the 1950s. Speaking to the BBC French finance minister Pierre Moscovici stated [3]: The UK, like us, would like if possible quite a swift timeline, in the handing over of power. Despite often claiming to be a eurosceptic, a spokesperson for David Cameron revealed the Prime Ministers enthusiasm for the agenda [4]: We have consistently argued that a banking union is an essential part of a single currency and, as the single currency central bank, the European Central Bank is the right organisation to take on that supervisory role for euro area banks. Unsurprisingly there has been zero talk of giving citizens a democratic vote on the matter. Jump to 1:16:10 for interview: Barroso has been pushing for the integration of European global financial markets and regulatory bodies for quite some time, back in 2008 when the contrived financial crisis first became widely apparent, Barroso met with then US President George Bush and Nicolas Sarkozy to call for a a new global financial order [5]. As we see in Britain with the LibLabCons joint support for the EU and America with the Republican and Democrats joint support for NATO the United Nations and global financial decisions, the push for further centralized global governance is bipartisan and goes beyond the redundant circus of party politics. Barroso is a frequent Bilderberg attendee revealed Morris; the secretive yearly gathering of the worlds financial, political and corporate elite. In a row over Dutch and Belgian attendees claiming expenses for this years meeting, an admission on the events official website was cited, which states participants attend Bilderberg in a private and not an official capacity, although according to Barroso the travel expenses incurred were paid by the [EU] commission, as for any mission [6]. This begs the question, why arent taxpayers being made privy to the goings on of the club? Instead concerned citizens have been forced to do their own research and thanks to some leaked documents obtained by WikiLeaks, the pieces are finally coming together. According to minutes from the second Bilderberg conference in 1955, a year or more before the concept of a European Economic Community was sold to the public, the elite were already planning a single currency and a full-blown authoritarian Superstate. The document reads [7]: A European speaker expressed concern about the need to achieve a common currency, and indicated that in his view this necessarily implied the creation of a central political authority. A participant, speaking as a German industrialist, said that, having fought for integration before, German industry was still determined to pursue the same purpose, but he expressed considerable doubt as to the functional approach to integration by moving from one economic sector to another. In his view, the common problems of differences in labour standards and currencies and the various elements entering into the common market must be brought nearer to parity as a condition of further progressit is our common responsibility to arrive in the shortest possible time at the highest degree of integration, beginning with a common European market. What this tells us is that the soft early steps towards todays European Union were nothing more than a ruse to get the public and uninitiated politicians on side. It was always planned as a superstate, and as integration has slowly increased were reaching a point of no return. Morris explains: So in 1955 the Bilderberg Club are already openly discussing the deregulation of markets and integration, which has followed extensively over the decades. This has resulted in the phenomenon of globalization, which groups such as Bilderberg now use as their justification for meeting. The solution to the problems created by the centralization of power is being sold to the public as further centralization of power, by the people who centralized it in the first place! Morris continued by explaining the role of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). According to their own website their mission is to Serve central banks in their pursuit of monetary and financial stability, to foster international cooperation in those areas and to act as a bank for central banks [8]. The key thing about this bank, Morris warns is that its completely privately owned, although unlike your average corporation, the vested interests do not make their individual selves or agendas public. This means when you see the IMF going in to Greece or Ireland etc, giving financial advice advice and pushing austerity measures, you have to remember that the organization that oversees the IMF (the BIS) is privately ownedit doesnt take a genius to see that vested interests might influence this [for their own benefit]their happy to see 50% of youth unemployment in Spain for example. Most people do not tend to follow the money trail all the way up the pyramid. They end at national governments and their national debts, or the buck stops in Europe. Yet the way the system is set up, nearly all economic activity around the world ends up passing through the BIS. The UK is currently 4.8 trillion in debt thanks to the Government borrowing money to spend on the EU, illegalwars and its other bloated programs. Since they have no money of their own this is automatically a debt on the citizens, which is pledged through future taxation and cuts to public services. Currently your tax only goes to cover the interest on the national debt, because the liabilities are so huge! George Osbourne knows Britain is broke and can mathematically never pay back its debts (he is in charge of the books), however he futilely continues to keep his paymasters system afloat. The money the government borrows comes from private financial institutions, not too unlike if you borrowed from a high-street bank. These banks get a portion of their money from central banks and are often regulated by them, and those central banks are beholden to the Bank for International Settlements, itself a private bank. The kicker? As revealed on the website of the New York Federal Reserve [9], 86 percent of the shares of the BIS are registered in the names of central banks, and 14 percent are held by private shareholders. In other words the Bank that regulates Central Banks to keep them stable and operating fairly, is actually owned by those Central Banks. They regulate themselves! They ensure their own profits and survival over that of the people and can manipulate markets for their own political agendas! Furthermore, 14% of shares are held by individuals. The shares owned by private shareholders consist of part of the French and Belgian issues and all of the shares that were in the original U.S. issue in 1930. As explained by official Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) historian Dr. Carroll Quigley, in his seminal work Tragedy and Hope. A History of the World in Our Time [10]: The powers of financial capitalism had far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank, in the hands of men like Montagu Norman of the Bank of England, Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Charles Rist of the Bank of France, and Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank, sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.

3	The 2013 Measles Outbreak: A Failing Vaccine, Not A Failure To VaccinateSayer Ji In a recent CNN Health opinion piece too easily confused with reporting titled, US measles cases in 2013 may be the worst in 17 years, Elizabeth Cohen, CNNs Senior Medical Correspondent, blames the 159 cases of measles the CDC reported occurring from Jan. 1 through Aug. 24th on visitors from countries where measles is common and vaccine objectors within the United States. What makes her conspicuously non-referenced statistics so disturbing is that she is neglecting a substantial body of literature, including peer-reviewed and published epidemiological and clinical studies, indicating that the recent measles outbreaks are just as likely caused by the failure of the vaccine as by presumably irrational and/or irresponsible parents exercising their legal right and responsibility to choose whether or not to vaccine their children. Lets fill in the data that so obviously got flushed down the memory hole by this irresponsible piece of CNN reporting. First, we should acknowledge one underreported fact of immunology: vaccine-induced antibody elevations do not guarantee real world protection against the pathogen the vaccine is intended to immunize us against, which is the only true measure of their value. This is not a new observation. It goes back decades, with a 1990 study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases finding that even though 95% of a population of urban African children had measles antibodies after vaccination, vaccine efficacy was not more than 68%.[1] Again, the point remains the same: vaccine-induced synthetic immunity does not guarantee real world protection, and certainly not with anything near 100% effectiveness, despite what the CDC, vaccine manufacturers or mainstream news reports imply by blaming the non-vaccinated for vaccine-failure associated outbreaks. Read our report on the groundbreaking 2011 study published in the journal Immunity that challenges the primary antibody-based justification for vaccination if you need a more in-depth explanation of this critical point. Second, there is plenty of research available today demonstrating that the adverse health effects associated with the measles vaccine, and particularly the trivalent mumps, measles, rubella combination vaccine,[4] may far outweigh their purported therapeutic effects, that even if a vaccine is successful at preventing and/or delaying infection from measles this does not mean that this will improve the overall health of those vaccinated. To the contrary, it has been known for several decades that the administration of measles vaccine in underdeveloped countries may actually be resulting inhigher infant mortality rates.[5] [6] This has, in fact, been a persistent criticism levied against UNICEFs vaccine-heavy strategy in certain regions of Africa, which appear to have increased mortality rates.[7] UNICEF is not solely to blame, as there are quite a few charitable health organizations patting each other on the back for saving lives by reducing vaccine-preventable diseases, at the very moment that mortality from vaccine-associated adverse effects are increasing. This is exactly whats so deranged about the Global Polio Eradication campaign, whose claim to have virtually eradicated wild-type polio in India obscures the fact that the live vaccine-specific strain of polio, believed to be twice as lethal as the natural form, may now be causing close to 48,000 cases of polio vaccine associated injury a year. Measles Vaccine Failures Documented for A Quarter of A Century, Around the World Now to the heart of the problem with CNNs article. Throughout the real (not imaginary) history of the measles vaccine, failure after failure has been recorded, starting with: This article first appeared at GreenMedInfo.

3	FREEDOM Act Passes, Effectively Kills FreedomBy Brandon Turbeville Unfortunately, however, the passage of the FREEDOM Act is no victory for freedom. In fact, is an insultingly sound nail in freedoms coffin. The bill, which has been promoted and supported by many of the same members of Congress that supported the PATRIOT Act (notably, James Sensenbrenner) now comes on the heels of a 2nd US Circuit Court decision that bulk telecommunications data collection was not authorized by the PATRIOT Act, unconstitutional, and therefore an illegal act. To be sure, the FREEDOM Act has been in the works for passage since 2013 when lawmakers began pushing it. At the time, the bill attempted to actually extend the PATRIOT Act provisions through the end of 2017 as well as maintain a number of violations of civil liberties and privacy concerns. The new version of the FREEDOM Act is no better, except perhaps in the language being used to promote it. When the 2nd Circuit Court ruled that the PATRIOT Act did not authorize the bulk collection of data nationwide and that doing so violates the Constitution, it essentially made the actions of the NSA and the rest of the US intelligence apparatus illegal. The FREEDOM Act does nothing to punish or prevent intelligence agencies who have been illegally wiretapping innocent Americans. In fact, it has simply legalized the process. According to Daniel McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute, the bill is able to legalize the storage and collection of bulk data by putting the responsibility upon the back of the major telecommunications companies who will be tasked with doing just that storing and retaining all data for future use by intelligence agencies. This data must be turned over to the agencies upon request. It is, essentially, the privatization of mass surveillance. These Telecom giants who will now be in charge of the data collection have worked hand in glove with intelligence agencies for some time. Now the law will require them to do so. Of course, it should be remembered that, at the top levels of many corporations, the surveillance and intelligence apparatus along with the capitalist and governing corporate boards are often one and the same. Daniel McAdams makes four points about how the FREEDOM Act influences the collection of data in the private sphere. He writes, In addition, the bill leaves loopholes in language wide enough you could drive a truck through. For instance, it does not define the term Direct connection, which would allow the NSA to access data on Americans through their smartphones via private providers, which would largely be seen as an expansion of NSA power, despite the fact that limits on power have never really been a concern to the NSA before. While the bill has been presented as the negation of Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, used by the Bush and Obama administrations to legally justify bulk data collection, the bill merely makes the telecom companies the first level collators of this information, with intelligence agencies able to request data from them at any time based on keywords (presumably like the myriad of publicly admitted words used for surveillance triggers today). Despite deciding to support the bill, ACLU deputy legal director Jameel Jaffer stated that This bill would make only incremental improvements, and at least one provisionthe material-support provisionwould represent a significant step backwards. The disclosures of the last two years make clear that we need wholesale reform. Another organization that supported the bill (but hoped that congress improved it) was the Center for Democracy and Technology who admitted that the so-called limits to the PATRIOT Act provisions were virtually non-existent. It stated, Even more revealing, however, is an article written by Shane Harris of the Daily Beast in the weeks leading up to the passage of the FREEDOM Act. Harris writes, The bill that the House passed yesterday, called the USA Freedom Act, doesnt actually suspend the phone records program. Rather, it requires that phone companies, not the NSA, hold on to the records. The picture painted by the Daily Beast and the individuals commenting on the FREEDOM Act is thus one of the typical Problem-Reaction-Solution variety. But the gains that civil libertarians supposedly made in regards to this bill are virtually nonexistent. The Daily Beast can really only find one to mention and even that has nothing to do with the bill itself. It is merely the fact that millions of Americans now know they have been spied on for the last decade. How that is a win is anyones guess. Julia Sanchez of the CATO Institute, while trying to paint the bill as a level-headed agreement was also forced to admit that it simply gives the NSA greater flexibility. Harris writes, Consider also Representative Justin Amashs summary of the FREEDOM Act. Indeed, the Second Circuit encouraged Congress in reforming Section 215 to make a congressional judgment as to what is reasonable under current circumstances. Taken in concert with the fact that the US Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit has ruled that Americans have no perception of privacy when it comes to records being held by a third party, one can easily see why the NSA would be high-fiving in the break room of their massive data center. Of course, if Congress was interested in reigning in the massive dragnet of data being taken illegally by the NSA, they would have simply allowed the expiring sections of the PATRIOT Act to do just that expire. This would have been the most simple and common sense action to take since the PATRIOT Act section 215 is itself unconstitutional. Instead, the American people are subjected to the FREEDOM Act, written by the NSA FOR the NSA and all the propaganda of civil liberties victories and weakness in the face of terror that comes with it. Yet the unfortunate truth is that, even if the FREEDOM Act was never passed and relevant sections of the PATRIOT Act were allowed to expire, the power of the NSA would scarcely be diminished. Illegal government spying has taken place with every new advent of technology and communications since even long before 9/11. With the knowledge that programs such as Sentient World Simulation is in existence as well as the ability to record and store all the information on one individual for less than the cost of a mobile home, Americans would be nave to think that a change on paper would change the surveillance state in which they live. While this is not to downplay the importance of codifying privacy and upholding the Bill of Rights legally and on paper, it is clear that it will take more than Congress to get it done. Regardless, the FREEDOM Act is anything but freedom much like the PATRIOT Act was anything but patriotic. The FREEDOM Act is merely another nail in the coffin of civil liberties and a comical funeral procession over the corpse of privacy.

2	Saudi Prince Criticizes Donald Trump Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal is a member of a royal family notorious for enforcing Shariah law on its people. Now, Bin Talal has decided to interject himself into American politics, taking to Twitter to criticize presidential frontrunner Donald Trump over his proposal to stop Muslim immigration into the United States. You are a disgrace not only to the GOP but to all America, Bin Talal commented. Withdraw from the U.S. Presidential race as you will never win. Bin Talal has commented on American politics before. In the wake of the September 11 attacks, he tried to write New Yrok City a $10 million check, but it was rejected by then-Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. I believe the government of the United States should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stance toward the Palestinian cause, he commented at the time. Our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered by the Israelis while the world turns the other cheek. Bin Talal has been deemed highly irresponsible and very, very dangerous by leaders in the past. Trump did not take the comment quietly, and decided to fire back, claiming that the Saudi prince wants to control our U.S. politicians with daddys money. Cant do it when I get elected. What do you think? Do you support Donald Trump? 
2	BREAKING: Six Shot At Ferguson Cop Bar According to recent reports, six people were recently shot at a St. Louis bar that is famous for being frequented by police. Three robbers entered Poohs Corner bar at approximately 11 PM, reportedly ordering everyone in the bar to get on the floor. One of the thugs then proceeded to shoot a female customer in the head. An off-duty police officer drew his weapon and shot the suspect, sparking a shootout that left the off-duty cop and two other customers with life-threatening injuries. After one of the robbers was shot in the eye, the group fled the scene. They were found hours later when one of the suspects showed up at the local hospital with a gunshot wound. Unfortunately, the female guest shot in the incident is still in serious condition. 
1	When archaeologist Edward Whitson joined a Penn State University dig in Hasake last year, he did so to participate in the excavation of a Late Bronze Age settlement rich in pottery shards and clay figurines. Whitson had hoped to determine whether the items contained within the site were primarily Persian or Assyrian in origin. Edward Whitson waits while yet another tortured wraith rises from a dig site in Syria. Instead, he found himself fleeing giant flying demon-cats as he ran through the temple's cavernous halls, jumping from ledge to ledge while locked in a desperate struggle for his life and soul for what seemed like the thousandth time in his 27-year career. 'All I wanted to do was study the settlement's remarkably well-preserved kiln,' said the 58-year-old Whitson, carefully recoiling the rope he had just used to clamber out of a pit filled with giant rats. 'I didn't want to be chased by yet another accursed manifestation of an ancient god-king's wrath.' Over the course of his career, Whitson has been frequently lauded by colleagues for his thorough, methodical examinations of ancient peoples. He has also been chased by the snake-bodied ophidian women of Al'lat in Israel, hunted down by Mayan coyote specters manifested out of lost time and shadow in the Yucatan, and hounded by the Arctic-sky-filling Walrus Bone Woman of the early Inuits. 'It's true, I've got to stop reading the inscriptions on ancient door seals out loud,' Whitson said. 'I also need to quit dusting off medallions set into strange sarcophagi, allowing the light to hit them for the first time in centuries. And replacing the jewels that have fallen from the foreheads of ancient frog-deity statuesthat's just bad archaeological practice.' Whitson added that he hopes one day to excavate an ancient Egyptian monastery or marketplace without hearing the ear-splitting shrieks of the undead while being swarmed by green-glowing carnivorous stink beetles. A dig in Yalvac, Turkey, is once again disrupted by the occult. 'I realize I'm entering grounds that are considered sacred to these people,' Whitson said. 'But that doesn't mean I deserve to be pelted with poison-tipped darts shot from cavern walls. A simple 'Do Not Enter' sign in hieroglyphics would suffice.' Turning to the subject of his latest incident at a dig site in Peru, Whitson maintains he was not at fault for summoning the forces of evil. 'I was just idly rearranging flint sickle blades that had already been catalogued. Apparently, I spelled out the true name of a long-dead god-priest,' Whitson said. 'Can't a man even clean up his work area without inadvertently conjuring up a pack of lightning-breathing ocelots?' Making matters worse, such encounters have had little to no scientific value. 'It's always, 'I will drink your soul' or 'I will chew the flesh from your bones' with these hellish apparitions,' Whitson said. 'When I ask them if that means the ancient Etruscans did, in fact, add copper to their mixing clay to make their urns more sturdy, they don't even seem to hear me.' Worn down by nearly three decades of peril, Whitson said he plans to move off the front lines to become a museum curator or in-office researcher. 'It's unfortunate,' Whitson said. 'Nothing quite compares to being out in the field on an actual dig. But the reality is, I'm really starting to hate almost getting killed all the time.'

2	Texas Passes Law Permanently Banning Sharia Law Over the past few years, Texas has been quick to take a stand against President Obama and implement the laws necessary to protect its citizens. Now, the Texas legislature has just passed a law designed to permanent bar Muslims from instituting Sharia Law in the Lone Star State. While State Sen. Donna Campbell doesnt specific measure Islamic law in the bill, her measure guarantees that no laws from foreign courts will be admissible by Texas civil court judges. Its just to provide some belt and suspenders to make sure that, with judicial discretion, we dont trump Texas law, American law, with a foreign law regarding family law, Campbell told reporters. Muslim groups have already criticized the bill, calling it a solution looking for a problem. They also argue that the bill will only perpetuate Islamophobia. What do you think? Do you support the measure? 
2	2 Grandmas Get Into A $200,000 Car. Now Watch What Happens As They Back Out... Right up there with the Ferrari, the Lamborghini is the most well-known and well-regarded super-car on Earth. It is a status symbol, and to many a symbol of masculinity. We associate these cars with wealthy young entrepreneurs and gorgeous, talented celebrities and athletes. Thats why the people who climb out of this brand new Lambo surprised me just a little! Two grandmas, Peggy and Audrey, got a chance to drive the $200,000 Lamborghini, driving through bustling city streets. Frankly, Im super jealous! But imagine the looks they got when they pulled up to a light and rolled the windows down. Have you ever seen a 75-year old woman driving a sports car capable of doing 200 mph? The funniest part is when the ladies cant figure out where the trunk is in this thing (these cars generally have the engine in the back, and the storage place is often under the hood). Audrey even flirts with a young gentleman who asks if theres room in there for one more! This video is too good not to share, it made me laugh out loud. 
3	Johns Hopkins: Magic Mushrooms Help Longtime Addicts Quit Smokingselfnews Post The abstinence rate for study participants was 80 percent after six months, substantially higher than typical success rates in smoking cessation trials, says Matthew W. Johnson, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the corresponding author on the study. Approximately 35 percent experience six-month success rates when taking varenicline, which is widely considered to be the most effective smoking cessation drug. Other treatments, including nicotine replacement and behavioral therapies, have success rates that are typically less than 30 percent, Johnson adds. But the researchers, in a report on the study, published online on Sept. 11 in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, strongly caution that their study results are not an endorsement of do-it-yourself psychedelic drug use for smoking cessation, but instead are specific to the controlled administration of the drug in the context of a treatment program involving cognitive behavioral therapy. Quitting smoking isnt a simple biological reaction to psilocybin, as with other medications that directly affect nicotine receptors, Johnson says. When administered after careful preparation and in a therapeutic context, psilocybin can lead to deep reflection about ones life and spark motivation to change. Study participants were 10 men and five women, all mentally and physically healthy. They were an average age of 51; smoked, on average, 19 cigarettes a day for 31 years; and had repeatedly tried and failed to stop smoking. Ten participants reported minimal past use of hallucinogens, with the most recent use being an average of 27 years before study intake. Five had never used hallucinogens. After researchers informed subjects about what their experience with the drug might be like, the first dose of psilocybin was administered by pill the day each participant planned to quit smoking. Two subsequent sessions, with higher doses of the mind-altering drug, were held two weeks and eight weeks later. During each psilocybin session, which lasted six to seven hours, participants were closely monitored by two members of the research team in a comfortable, homelike setting. Most of the time, participants wore eyeshades and earphones that played music, and they were encouraged to relax and focus on their inner experiences. The hallucinogenic compound was administered as part of a comprehensive cognitive behavior therapy smoking cessation program that included weekly one-on-one counseling sessions and techniques such as keeping a diary before quitting in order to assess when and why cravings occur. The researchers, who are part of a team that has long had federal funding to study the psychoactive effects of psychedelic drugs, suggest psilocybin may help break the addictive pattern of thoughts and behaviors that have become ingrained after years of smoking. The benefits also seem to last after the drug has worn off. Johnsons next study will compare smoking success rates for people who take psilocybin versus those who use nicotine patches. He will use MRI scans to study brain activity in participants. Co-authors include Albert Garcia-Romeu, Mary P. Cosimano and Roland R. Griffiths, all of the Johns Hopkins University. The Beckley Foundation provided initial funding for the research, with continued funding from the Heffter Research Institute. Support for Garcia-Romeu was provided by National Institute on Drug Abuse grant T32DA07209. Press source: Johns Hopkins Medicine 
2	11 In Critical Condition After Terrorist Drives Through Sidewalk A driver screaming Allahu Akbar! (Arabic for God is great) appeared to deliberately mow down about a dozen pedestrians in the French city of Dijon before being arrested on Sunday, officials said. The driver, who was in his forties, hit groups of pedestrians in five parts of the eastern city before being arrested, a spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior said on French television. Eleven people in all were injured, two of them seriously, officials said. According to testimonies on the scene, the driver also invoked the children of Palestine to explain his actions, the ministrys spokesman said. Frances Interior Ministry Spokesman Pierre Henry Brandet said the man acted alone, and that the suspect was known to police for crimes committed in the 1990s. A day earlier, French police in a Tours suburb shot and killed a man also shouting Allahu Akbar who had stabbed and wounded three officers in a police station.

2	Trey Gowdy Subpoenas Hillary Clinton Her Time Is UP According to recent reports, the House Select Committee on Benghazi just announced that is has officially subpoenaed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the State Department. The Select Committee on Benghazi today issued subpoenas for all communications of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton related to Libya and to the State Department for other individuals who have information pertinent to this investigation, Jamal Ware, committee spokesman stated. The committee also has issued preservation letters to internet firms information them of their legal obligation to protect all relevant documents. The action followed a warning from Gowdy after it was revealed that Clinton used only personal email while she was serving secretary of State. The committee is going to have to go to her, her lawyers and her email providers to ensure we have access to everything the American people are entitled to know, Gowdy claimed the day before the announcement. Gowdy said that his committees request for Clintons emails is what brought her personal email system into light. So far, the committee has received about 300 emails from her personal account. What do you think of the subpoena? Will Hillary be forced to tell the truth once and for all? 
2	Michael Browns Parents Plan New Ways To Go After Darren Wilson As previously suspected, it appears that Michael Browns family has made the official decision to pursue every legal avenue in the case of their son, after the grand jury made the decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson. The family greatly wanted to have the killer of their unarmed son held accountable, lawyer Benjamin Crump told the viewers of CBS Face the Nation. His mother and father dont think Officer Wilson had any consideration for their child. And they wonder if he ever had a conscience. And so thats troubling to them. And we want police officers that do have a conscience in our community, not police officers that are as cold as ice and see our children as demons and criminals. Crump also confirmed that the family is looking into a civil lawsuit against Wilson. They are also advocating for a federal law that would require police officers to wear body cameras. I think its best at this point that we continue to move on as a community, Knowles told the public. Officer Wilson and his family have moved on and at this point the city of Ferguson is again looking at how we can bring this community together. What do you think of the Brown Familys plans for future actions? 
3	Keynesian Economic Dream Playing Out in ArgentinaRedmond Weissenberger, Contributor But dont count the United States out of the global race toward monetary self-destruction just yet. With over a trillion dollars floating around the banking system and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke intent on eroding even more of the greenbacks value to boost the economy, there is no telling when the whole convoluted scheme will blow up in his face. We are already in uncharted territory according to Julia Coronado, chief economist for North America at BNP Paribas. The day of reckoning for the US dollar could come any day now. Americans should start looking at Argentina as a sign of whats to come rather than a possible vacation destination. And they should start looking at gold as a safe haven instead of their bank accounts. Redmond Weissenberger is the Managing Editor of The Dollar Vigilante and the Founding Director of the Ludwig von Mises Institute of Canada, the centre for the study of the Austrian School of Economics within Canada. Redmond founded the LvMIC in 2010 to address the lack of knowledge about the true cause of our booms and busts of the last 100 years and the need for sound money and sound economics to be applied to the Canadian and global economy. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
2	Liberals Attack Taya Kyle After She Does THIS At The Oscars Taya Kyle, widow of American sniper Chris Kyle, made quite the appearance last night at the Oscars in honor of the feature film in her husbands honor. While Taya looked very elegant, perhaps the most beautiful thing about her was a tribute she made to her husband throughout the event. American Sniper was nominated for six awards, including best picture. Taya looked stunning in a green gown, but pictures of the widow revealed more than a great fashion sense. In many of her red carpet photos, Taya is seen clutching her late husbands military dog tags. I have a pounding headache and woke up intermittently sleeping and having nightmares about the evil of the world, Taya posted earlier in the day on her social media page. Still, she acknowledged that she was happy so much healing is happening and that military families were healing from this movie. Taya was also interviewed on the red carpet with her sister, where she repeatedly choked up when reporters asked her about her husband. She also confessed that she had no plans to attend any after parties. Instead, she was hopping on a red eye back to Texas to attend the trial of her husbands murderer. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Taya Kyle?

3	City Keeps Farmers Market Shut Down on TechnicalitiesHeather Callaghan In June, we reported on a David and Goliath fight between a longstanding farmers market in Mount Jackson, Virginia and the city. It was a nonsensical decision on the city councils part to require the market operators to cough up $15-20,000 to pave a lot that had been used successfully on gravel for years. For the sake of aesthetics. (Note: city councils are hurting their own economies for the sake of cookie-cutter appearances) It was literally Pave or Get Out. So the market sued, not for monetary means, but as an injunction to stop the shut down and allow for time to repave. A catch-22 like this for the market could mean permanent shut down. The filing did require damages for the loss in operation funds, not by their own doing. In July, the market reported: Boo-hoo. The city is shooting itself in the foot financially by not allowing the market to operate and continue restoring value to an abandoned building they purchased. Hey why dont they use part of those Economic Development Authority funds to actually help their citys economy?? Because they are not actually intended to help small operations or the city or the residents. See my hint at the end. The market continues to reiterate the nonsensical injustice of allowing other business to have unpaved lots. Theyve even outed the hypocrisy coming from city council with their special exemption overrides for their personal pet projects. On August 8, the market had to attend a new hearing on a Demurrer (legal term for a pleading that objects to the filing). Unfortunately, the court sided with the city. Mount Jackson Farmers Market reports: The Judge dismissed the evidence we had presented, rightly so as it did not pertain specifically to the motion before the court. We now have 30 days to appeal. Meanwhile, on the drive home, we were greeted with all the examples of Mount Jacksons arbitrary and selective enforcement of the Codes. That aspect of our plight basically needs to go before a different court. Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. Donald Trump Without my disappearing down a giant rabbit hole would anyone like to weigh in on why bureaucrats everywhere seem to be in a coordinated, Borg-like effort to destroy the local economy, community assistance, and legitimate actions for townspeople to go green? Some city development and sustainability moves include getting rid of the homeless, banning the feeding of them, shutting down childrens lemonade stands, forcing residents to get rid of front yard gardens, tearing up community gardens, making it impossible to even offer free services and more. What does that sound like to you? Interestingly, they do this in the face of voter disgust, outcry and even national negative attention. Why??

2	Ben Carson Cleverly Makes $3.5 Million By CRUSHING Liberal Media The media has been relentless in its obsession with tarnishing Ben Carsons name. He has been repeatedly blamed for things he never did. Ben Carson, being the genius he is, used this media harassment to his advantage. Last week Carson managed to raise $3.5 million, all thanks to the media obsession with him. This amount dwarfs the weekly funds he has been receiving. He reported on twitter having received 10,000 donations every day of the past week. Ben Carson has completely played the media. Do you support Carson for president? 
3	Organic food shortage hitting the US: are Americans becoming more health conscious?Paul Lawrance My Fox NY is reporting: A New Jersey ShopRite recently posted a sign saying the short supply (of organic and cage free eggs) was industry-wide and was due to increased demand and limited availability. A Colorado blogger also snapped a picture in a Safeway store referencing a nationwide shortage of specialty and organic eggs. And it seems supplies certain kinds of organic produce may also be temporarily limited. ******* organic cucumbers are one of a number of items that are harder to find right now. Since Christmas, cucumbers supplies from Florida have almost ground to a halt and the Mexican supply is coming but its just not ready yet. According to the US Department of Agriculture organic food sales in the United States have increasedfrom approximately $11 billion in 2004 to an estimated $27 billion in 2012. The United States Organic Food Market Forecast Opportunities, 2018 is forecasting a 14% growth in organic food market from 2014-2018. Could it be the ever increasing awareness of the potential dangers of GMOs and synthetic pesticides is driving the demand for organically grown food? With the rise of movements like March Against Monsanto, where millions of people world-wide have taken part, and the reluctant reporting on GMO danger by the US corporate press, it seems likely the consumer is consciously straying into the organic market to take control of their health. Biotech companies like Monsanto have been portrayed as a evil with sinister agendas behind their genetic tampering of organisms and their production of dangerous chemicals, like Round Up. The 2012 study conducted by Gilles-Eric Seralini, where rats were fed Monsanto GMO Roundup ready corn and developed giant tumors, created shock waves through the media and drove fear into the consumer. To blame the shortages on a once a year promise to live a healthier lifestyle, or a season of dieting, is a totally silly assumption. There are scientists and journalists working hard in order to bring to light the side effects of GMOs, pesticides and preservatives which are tainting grocery store shelves everywhere. The consumer is waking up and is refusing to be poisoned. Paul Lawrance writes for Eyes Open Report, where this first appeared. 
1	ALBANY, CABay Area resident Emily Dobbyns, owner of two wire-haired fox terriers, two shih tzus, one Maltese, and a pug, revealed yesterday that she resents all non-canine life forms. 'My family and coworkers and friends are so hard to get along with,' Dobbyns said, petting her pug Skipper. 'They're so opinionated, and they let their egos complicate everything.' Dobbyns added that her little Skipperdoodle would never expect her to drive 22 miles to a birthday party at a restaurant she doesn't even like. 
1	In an effort to get Americans to at least go through the motions of a healthier diet, the Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday that it is now recommending individuals consume three servings of foods every day that simply include the word fruit on the box. Though we have in the past advised eating a minimum of three pieces of actual fruit per day, it is now acceptable to eat any food labeled with the word fruit, including variations such as fruity, fruit-a-licious, or fruit-blasted, FDA commissioner Margaret Hamburg told reporters, also noting that sweetened cereal or gummies shaped like fruit are entirely permissible under the agencys new guidelines. If it smells somewhat like fruit, or even if theres a cartoon strawberry or orange on the wrapper, thats sufficient at this point. The FDAs new recommendations are expected to be followed up by other guidelines under which anything successfully chewed and swallowed can now be considered a vegetable. 
1	In an exclusive preview to fans gathered in Los Angeles this week for the E3 gaming conference, Microsoft officials reportedly unveiled an ultra-realistic new game for their upcoming Xbox One console that requires players to press the B button repeatedly in order to make their characters breathe. Through the careful and constant pressing of different buttons, players are able to control not only breathing, but a steady heart rate, digestion, and other autonomic body functions as they help their avatars maintain homeostasis and complete their missions, Microsoft spokesman Michael Drew said of the single-player game, adding that players will use one analog stick to move the left leg forward and the other analog stick to move the right leg forward. To pump your avatars heart, for example, all you have to do is rapidly press the left bumper button, making sure to increase heart rate during periods of increased exercise. And then, of course, a second controller is needed for unholstering and firing your weapon, although players will still have to make sure, using the first controller, that their character is still breathing and his heart continues beating during this period. Sources at E3 say early feedback for the game has been mixed due to the fact that gameplay begins in the middle of a shootout and you only get one life. 
3	Covert chemical warfare/and a time bomb in UkraineJon Rappoport There are, of course, other companies and other poisons (herbicides, pesticides). For example, read this from Transport and Trade, published by the Pesticide Action Network: US [companies] shipped nearly 1.7 billion pounds of pesticide products to other countries from 2001-2003 more than 32 tons per hour Nearly 28 million pounds of these pesticides are banned for use in the US. Consider this broad 1997 indictment: large international corporations are able to sell pesticides abroad that cannot be sold in the U.S. These corporations sell pesticides that are classified as so harmful to human health and the environment, that their use cannot be justified for any purpose. (Jefferson D Reynolds, Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law, International Pesticide Trade) A case in point: Propargite. Writing in the Albion Monitor (May 5, 1996, US Firm Exports Hazardous Pesticide), Haider Rizvi describes the chemical as a widely used pesticide for control of mites on a range of fruit, grain, vegetable, nut and fiber crops. The US-based Uniroyal Corp. will continue selling a hazardous pesticide to farmers overseas even though the product has been withdrawn from domestic markets for health and safety reasons. In a recent agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the company canceled nearly a dozen uses of the pesticide Propargite in the United States. But, the accord does not affect sales of the suspected carcinogen in other countries. Its recent agreement with EPA prohibits Uniroyal from selling propargite for use on nearly a dozen [US] crops including apricots, apples, peaches, pears, plums, figs, strawberries, and green beans because of its cancer-causing potential. Both independent and EPA scientists say infants and children are especially vulnerable to the potential dangers of exposure to Propargite-treated food products, which include damage to the nervous system, as well as cancer. Heres the capper: Despite banning a dozen uses, the EPA-Uniroyal agreement still allows the company to continue production and distribution of Propargite for use on nearly 30 other [US] crops, including grapes, cotton, grapes, watermelon, and potatoes. And remember, along with destruction wreaked on people in countries to which the US exports these chemicals, the food grown and sprayed in those countries is shipped back to the US for sale. This route was called the circle of poison. That phrase has dropped out of popular usage. Monsanto, Dow, DuPont, Bayer, and other mega-corporations dont let up. They continue in the tradition of the infamous IG Farbenchemicals for destruction. In 2009, I researched the problem of pesticides in the Ukraine. Use is not the only issue; so is storage. And the scope and danger are huge. Tamara Gurzhiy, Expired and prohibited pesticides problem in Ukraine, Independent Agency for Ecological Information, Kharkiv, Ukraine (English translation): Twenty thousand to 25,000 t [tons] of expired or prohibited pesticides are stored on 4,000 Ukrainian depots. This is a serious threat for people and environment. Arsenic compounds are highly toxic for cattle. Death comes within several hoursMajority of pesticide depots were not designed for long-term usage. Chemicals are stolen and illegally sold to people. Depots roofs collapsed over the time, pesticides wrapping gets [out of] of order, pesticides of different nature may become [a] catalyst of spontaneous chemical reactions with unpredictable results. Spontaneous fire may spread toxins on a wide area. Utilization of expired and prohibited pesticides is Ukrainian national problem. Indeed, there was a fire in 2009. Simferopol, October 17 (Interfax-Ukraine): A storehouse with pesticide in Dzhankoi (Crimea) is on firearound 200 tonnes of pesticide and magnesium chloridearound 40 tonnes of pesticide was taken from the storehouse How extensive were the toxic clouds? Is this the real reason for 2009 reports of a million people ill in the Ukraine with Swine Flu? BRNO, Czech Republic, Sept. 23 /CNW/ According to Milieukontakts Partner IHPA (the International HCH and Pesticides Association) the health of at least 7 million inhabitants in Moldavia and Ukraine is seriously threatened by a stock of old pesticides. IHPA calls for fast EU action to disarm this biggest chemical time bomb of Europe. [in] the former Kalush factory in the west of Ukraine there is a stock of no less than 10,000 tonnes of superfluous Hexachlorobenzene (HCB). Its particularly the positioning along the Dniester river that makes the situation extremely hazardous: a single flood and the high concentrations of poison would pollute the natural habitat of some 7 million people in the west of Ukraine and Moldavia. In total, tens of millions of inhabitants in Europe, Central Asia and the former Soviet Union are being threatened by pesticides. In Ukraine alone there are 4,500 storage locations with more than 30,000 tonnes of old pesticides, a legacy from the Soviet era. The substances have been prohibited since 2001. As a rule the packaging only lasts five to ten years. If nothing happens in that time, then the substances could simply end up in the soil or in the water Jon Rappoport is the author of two explosive collections, The Matrix Revealed and Exit From the Matrix, Jon was a candidate for a US Congressional seat in the 29th District of California.

1	U.S. Army Gen. James David Thurman admitted Friday that he felt extremely jealous of the Syrian militarys ability to relentlessly attack its own citizens. When I saw footage of Syrian forces at a protest gunning down their fellow countrymen with total impunity, I thought, man, what I wouldnt give to roll into Dayton, OH with 10,000 troops and take a few hundred people out, said Thurman, who later called Syrian Gen. Abdul Fatah Qudsiya the luckiest guy in the world. You dont know how many times Ive thought about driving a tank up to a packed movie theater and firing indiscriminately at American men, women, and children without any repercussions. But I cant do that because we have all these stupid rules. As of press time, Thurman had formally requested permission for one little air strike on Houston. 
2	What Michelle Obama Just Said About Our Flag Will Make You SICK [VIDEO] In 2011, YouTuber the DrRJP released a video that shows First Lady Michelle Obama referring to Ole Glory as that d**n flag. The video has recently resurfaced. After watching it, Glenn Beck claimed that Michelle had said something derogatory about the flag. So he called on Adam the intern, who has been deaf most of his life, to read her lips. Look at how they fold that flag, Adam commented. Its not surprising that the world would thing Michelle was stomping all over the American symbol. It certainly wouldnt be the first time that she has disrespected this country. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Adam or do you think he is giving Michelle too much credit? 
1	Area resident Denny Wetzel, 29, dedicates 60 percent of his workday to the pursuit of sports fandom, sources reported Monday. Wetzel catches up on his fantasy-football reading before lunch. 'Cards, Blues, Rams, and Bullsthose are my teams,' said Wetzel, a project manager at Energis Information Networks. 'I also have a soft spot in my heart for the Pack, since I lived in Wisconsin until I was 10, but if they're playing the Rams, I'm backing Kurt and the boys, no question.' Though Wetzel estimates that three-fifths of his workday is spent on sports, he acknowledges that the figure may actually be higher. 'I start the day with coffee and the sports page, of course,' Wetzel said. 'Then I listen to SportsCentral AM on KFNS while eating breakfast. After touching my signed J.D. Drew baseball, I'm off to the office, where I try to squeeze in a little work between visits to ESPN.com.' Aside from a small photo of his family on his desk, Wetzel's cubicle is largely decorated with sports memorabilia, including a Green Bay Packers helmet, St. Louis Blues team pictures, and a bobble-head doll of St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Albert Pujols. His desk features a state-of-the-art workstation in a hodgepodge of team colors. Coworkers say Wetzel has smoothly integrated his fandom into his professional life. In addition to organizing office sports pools, hosting the annual Super Bowl party, and acting as commissioner of the office fantasy-baseball league, Wetzel is widely recognized as the person with whom any employee can talk sports. 'Denny is our go-to guy for helping clients develop tech-driven business-development strategies, or 'plays' as he calls them,' said Don Hewson, Wetzel's supervisor at Energis. 'And when it comes to sizing up the Rams' offseason personnel moves, Denny is unsurpassed.' While 60 percent of Wetzel's workday is devoted to fandom, a whopping 90 percent of his home life is devoted to sports-related pursuits. 'As soon as he gets home, it's SportsCenter during dinner, then whatever game is on,' wife Julie said. 'Then, it's usually an old game on ESPN Classic, or reading Sports Illustrated or the Street & Smith season-preview guides.' Wetzel said he makes an effort to devote any remaining non-sports time to his family. 'You know, we'll have some quality family time, because it's important,' Wetzel said. 'I'll go out and toss a ball with [son] Cameron, or huddle with Julie on the couch.' 'I mean, cuddle,' Wetzel added. 'Cuddle with Julie.' 
1	According to the nation's sportscasters, a Los Angeles LakersBoston Celtics matchup in the NBA Finals will give analysts the chance to repeatedly intone the names of former Celtic and Laker greats in an unbearably reverent and dramatic tone of voice. 'At the top of our pregame broadcast, or anytime they cut back to the studio, I can say, 'Russell. Chamberlain. Cousy. West. Havlicek. McHale. Worthy. Baylor,' in a tone suggesting viewers should feel emotionally transported by the sheer historic force of the Lakers-Celtics rivalry,' ESPN's Michael Wilbon said on Saturday, explaining that sportscasters will be able to say 'MagicBird,' or 'BirdMagic,' thousands upon thousands of infuriating times throughout the series. 'And when we say or, rather, invoke these names, it's important to assume a solemn, transfixed expression that makes viewers want to shout, 'Jesus Christ, get over yourselves.'' Wilbon added that, as a result of the Phoenix Suns' loss, he is slightly disappointed to not be able to talk for hours about Steve Nash's injured face. 
1	Tragedy struck at a popular Manhattan nightclub Saturday, when the roof, the roof, the roof of The Tunnel caught fire, collapsing and killing 43 party people. Above: NYC firefighters struggle to put out the roof blaze that took the lives of 43 party people Saturday. According to fire-department officials, the death toll was exacerbated by the clubgoers' unwillingness to evacuate the burning building. 'I tried shouting to the people on the dance floor that the roof was on fire and that they should exit the premises immediately, but they seemed unfazed by the danger,' firefighter Michael Pitti said. 'I just kept shouting, 'The roof! The roof! The roof is on fire!' and so forth, but they just went right on dancing, insisting that they didn't need any of our water and that we should let the motherfucker burn.' The party people's refusal to exit the flame-engulfed nightclub is widely believed to have been the result of DJ Phreek Malik's unstoppable mix of the hottest house, funk, hip-hop, disco, jungle and techno beats. 'DJ Phreek Malik was spinning in a manner so hot, these party people were willing to give up their lives for a few extra minutes on the dance floor,' New York City fire commissioner Thomas Von Essen said. 'Even as a 50-foot-high wall of flames surged toward them, they continued to dance, throwing their hands in the air and waving them as if they just didn't care.' As flames continued to fill the nightclub, firefighters frantically urged the revelers to keep low to the ground to avoid smoke inhalation, but the warnings were universally ignored. 'I was screaming at the top of my lungs, 'Get down! Get down, party people!'' said Garry Hodges of Ladder Company 42, 'but the more I shouted out, the harder they danced.' Though an FDNY investigation is still pending, the deadly blaze is believed to have begun at 11:40 p.m., when a roof-mounted ventilation system short-circuited, igniting the motherfucker. The fire is New York's deadliest since 1978, when 117 party people burned, baby, burned to death in a South Bronx disco inferno.

'We're not saying we want to see it or anything, but it sort of feels like we're overdue, right?' read a section of the report, which has received the approval of the Committee of Not for Nothing and the Chamber of Couldn't Help but Notice. 'I mean, yes, there's Dale Earnhardt, and probably a bunch of amateurs we don't even hear about, poor bastards, but during, like, a nationally televised game, you know?

3	Whats Ahead for Syria?Stephen Lendman Numerous states learned the hard way. Syria is Americas latest victim. Its falsely blamed for Washingtons war. The pattern by now is familiar. Ravaging the world one country at a time or in multiples is policy. Terrorism is what they do, not us. Reasons for imperial wars are suppressed. Wealth, power, privileged and unchallenged dominance alone matter. Sacrificing human lives and freedoms are small prices to pay. Regime change is prioritized. False pretexts facilitate intervention. Media propaganda glorifies war. Its done in the name of peace. Propaganda wars precede hot ones. Managed news misinformation enlists public support. Mind manipulation convinces people to back what demands condemnation. Lawless aggression is called humanitarian intervention. Plunder is called economic development. Occupation, exploitation and imperial control are called democracy. Might justifies right. Nations are destroyed for their own good. Humanitys increasingly threatened. Where things end who knows. Syrias falsely accused of using chemical weapons. Iraq faced nonexistent WMD charges. Gaddafi faced fabricated rape and other war crimes accusations. Headlines falsely accuse Iran of numerous terror plots. Repeating fabricated charges often enough gets people to believe them. Doing so facilitates whats planned. Its Time to Act in Syria, he urges. American values and interests are at stake. There is a moral imperative to try to stop the onslaught against the Syrian population. Its hard to see how the country has a choice. (W)e need to do more to protect the Syrian population. (Its) an illusion to think that the United States will be able to affect the realities on the ground without providing lethal assistance. Ross wants US Patriot missiles on Syrias border targeting its aircraft. He calls it a no-fly zone on the cheap. Why not declare that any Syrian military aircraft flying within 50 miles of the border will be deemed to have hostile intent and will be shot down by the Patriots? While there are costs in acting, the costs of inaction are growing by the day. America has no choice. Dont expect Ross and likeminded ideologues to explain whats most important. International law is clear and unequivocal. No nation may interfere in the internal affairs of others. Belligerent intervention is lawless aggression. America stands guilty as charged. Syrias its latest victim. Full-scale intervention perhaps looms. On April 30, the Jerusalem Post (JP) headlined US mulls way to hit Syria chemical weapons sites. It cited a day earlier CNN report. It cited an anonymous senior administration saying there is intensified planning in the works. As the situation in Syria becomes more grave and as we are increasingly concerned about chemical weapons use in Syria, its the responsibility of the US military to prepare detailed options. Boots on the ground may follow. Air and/or sea missile strikes are more likely. Perhaps Turkey and other NATO countries will intervene. Maybe Jordan and Israel will get involved. They border Syria. JP cited the Arab newspaper Al-Akhbar. It reported serious moves being made by the US that imply an imminent strike on Damascus. A senior Egyptian diplomat was quoted saying so. He added that Israel would likely be involved. On April 30, Mossad-connectedDEBKAfile (DF) headlined Surprise Israeli military drill on Syrian, Lebanese borders, saying: Thousands of reservists were called up. Moscow, Tehran, Damascus and Hizballah headquarters would assume that Israel is massing troops in advance of US military intervention in Syria. DF added that Obama is poised for a momentous decision on whether to pursue military action against Syrian military targets, including Bashar Assads chemical weapons facilities. Three primary options were suggested: Perhaps a combination of all three are planned. IDF military exercises along the Lebanon/Syrian border suggests possible Israeli involvement. On Tuesday morning, Obama held a surprise press conference. Press TV covered it. It asked this writer to comment on what he claimed about Syria. He alleged some evidence that Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. He lied saying so. Hes a serial liar. He wants confirmation of a preliminary assessment based on intelligence information. He repeated his game changer warning. He accused Assad of killing his own people. Weve heard it all before. He ignored long-planned lawless US involvement. He was asked if by game changer he means US military action. He responded saying: (T)here are options that are available to me that are on the shelf right now that we have not deployed, and thats a spectrum of options. You know, as early as last year I asked the Pentagon, our military, our intelligence officials to prepare for me what options might be available. And I wont go into the details of what those options might be, but you know, clearly, that would be an escalation, in our view, of the threat to the security of the international community, our allies and the United States. And that means that theres some options that we might not otherwise exercise that we would strongly consider. Whether full-scale intervention looms remains to be seen. Perhaps Libya 2.0 is planned. Doing so will likely involve NATO. Rick Rozoff explained its post-Cold War global agenda. It partners in Americas wars. Its waged them on three continents. Former US permanent NATO representative Kurt Volker was quoted saying it engaged in eight simultaneous operations on four continents in 2005. NATOs well poised to supplant the United Nations (as perhaps) the exclusive arbiter of conflicts worldwide, said Rozoff. It calls itself a political and military alliance for peace and security. Its always been more for offense than defense. Its a US-led imperial tool. It acts without Security Council authorization. It ignores international law. It threatens world peace and human survival.

2	Obamas Plans For After His Presidency For some time now, there has been serious speculation about what President Barack Obama intends to do once he is out of the White House. Throughout his presidency he has proved himself to be a dictator of sorts, and many believe that he will not walk away from power willingly. Now, Obama has revealed what his true plans are when he is no longer presidentand they are just as terrifying as weve feared they would be. According to reports, Obama intends to keep a very active profile after he leaves office. Theres so much more to do, so many more laws wed like to pass and administrative actions that need to be taken, Obama reportedly said. But, on the other hand, there was great satisfaction because we could look back on where we were when we came into office and take enormous pride in the way in which not simply this administration, but the country rose up from extraordinarily difficult times. Its interesting that Obama believes that America has risen up during his presidency. Our obligations dont go away just because my name is not on the ballot, he continued. It is just as important, we have to be just as passionate about making sure that progress is sustained. And what that requires is that we win back the Senate of the United States so that Democrats are able to move forward the agendas that we care about so deeply. It means that we make progress in winning back the House so that Californias own Nancy Pelosi can once again be Speaker of the House. And it means that we make sure that a Democrat replaces me in the White House to carry on the legacy that were pushing forward. What do you think? Does Obamas vision for the future sound more like a nightmare? 
2	New Policy Allows Transgender To Use Bathroom And Locker Room Of Their Choice A High School has just created a new policy to allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice. The school faced federal threats of cutting millions in funding, and had no other choice but to cave. A boy who attends the school, but dresses like a girl and identifies as female is now allowed to use the girls bathroom and even shower with the girls. Imagine if your daughter was forced to shower next to this boy. The liberals have taken things too far this time. Should boys be forced to use the boys locker room? 
2	ISIS Leader Confesses: We Are Being Funded By The Obama Administration [VIDEO] According to recent reports, and ISIS leader named Yousef al-Salafi from Pakistan has come forward with confessions that ISIS is being funded by the Obama administration. After being interrogated by the Pakistani government, Salafi confused that he used to receive money to recruit young people to fight in Syria. He went on to explain that the United States gave him $600 a head for anyone that joined. The confession shows a very different picture than the one Obama has been trying to paint by condemning IS activities. Watch the video below and tell us what you think: is Obama guilty of treason? 
2	Obama Is FURIOUS After Texas DESTROYS His Executive Order That Would Do THIS According to recent reports, President Obamas controversial executive action regarding amnesty was put to a stop on Monday after a federal appeals court ruled in favor of a Texas federal judges injunction. Obamas actions were preventing an estimated 5 million illegal immigrants from being deported. Texas was just one of twenty-six states that challenged Obamas plan in court when it was announced in November. U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen granted temporary injunction preventing the implementation of the order in February. Hanen argued that legalizing the presence of so many immigrants would be virtually irreversible and would cause irreparable harm. President Obama should abandon is lawless executive amnesty program and start enforcing the law today, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a news release. What do you think? Do you support Texas in the fight against Obama? 
3	Lord Rothschild Reveals World is Currently Witnessing the Greatest Monetary Policy Experiment in HistoryBy Amando Flavio When the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in June 2016, the global financial market experienced fluctuations. Some even predicted that it was the beginning of the end for the people of the United Kingdom. Since the Brexit crisis, the majority of people without the financial eyebelieve things have returned to normal. However, that is not the case. In fact, the future of the global financial market looks gloomy. It is unpredictable and unstable. Finally, a member of the Rothschild banking family has openly voiced his opinion on the current state, as well as the future of the global financial market. Many Conspiracy Theorists believe the Rothschild banking family is behind catastrophic events in the world, such as wars between nations in order to make profit from those calamities. It is said the family has significant influence on some of the powerful worlds central banks, including the United States. According to a prominent member of the family, Lord Nathaniel Charles Jacob Rothschild, also known as the 4th Baron Rothschild, low interest rates, negative yields on government debt and quantitative easing currently happening in the West, are part of the biggest financial experiment in world history. Lord Jacob Rothschild is a British citizen. He is the chairman of the Rothschild Investment Trust Capital Partners. He said the consequences of what are currently unfolding in the global financial market are unknown. Writing in his companys semi-annual financial report at the end of June 2016, Lord Jacob Rothschild stated: The six months under review have seen central bankers continuing what is surely the greatest experiment in monetary policy in the history of the world. We are therefore in uncharted waters and it is impossible to predict the unintended consequences of very low interest rates, with some 30 percent of global government debt at negative yields, combined with quantitative easing on a massive scale. The investment banker, estimated to have a net worth about $5 billion, further said this experiment policy by central banks has led to a rapid growth of stock markets, especially in the United States. According to financial experts, since 2008, United States stocks have grown threefold, with investments growing and volatility remaining low. Incredible share via: https://t.co/kZNqfBbQlv$USDJPY $DAX pic.twitter.com/bp4GEclZGV StockTwits (@StockTwits) August 16, 2016 But despite this deliberate manipulation by United States Federal Reserve officials, Jacob Rothschild revealed that the real sector of economy didnt enjoy such a profit. He said growth remains weak. Lord Jacob Rothschild also stated that there is weak demand and deflation in many parts of the Developed World. To authenticate the claim by the investment banker that some countries in the Developed World are indeed battling with deflation, according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch report in June 2016, interest rates in the West, especially the United States, are at the lowest levels in 5,000 years. The current Federal interest rate of the United States stands at 0.500 %. In the United Kingdom, it is 0.250%. Evan Bleker (@netnethunter) July 25, 2016 Furthermore, in the battle against deflation, countries such as Sweden, Switzerland and Japan have even turned to negative key lending rates. Another disaster in waiting on the global financial market is the current negative yields on government bonds. In June 2016, it was reported that a 10-year German government bond dipped below 0% for the first time in history. This prompted Janus Capital, an investment group, to estimate that the global yields are the lowest in 500 years, and that the total amount of such bonds is $10 trillion. The investment groups lead portfolio manager, Bill Gross, described the situation as a supernova that will explode one day. Janus Capital (@JanusCapital) June 9, 2016 However, Lord Jacob Rothschild underlined that many risks remain for the global economy with the deteriorating geopolitical situation. Among those risks the billionaire listed included Brexit, the upcoming presidential elections in the United States, and Chinas slowing economic growth. He also pointed out the rise in global terrorism, emphasizing the continuing conflict in the Middle East, especially the rise of the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Even before this statement by Lord Rothschild, many observers had said the crash of the global financial market is imminent, due to the constant manipulation of the sector.

The cause of all of this financial evil started with sociopaths like the Rothschilds, who have benefited the most. Now that it is becoming obvious that the system will soon collapse they are trying to set themselves up as part of the group that is warning of the impending end to try to avoid getting hanged from light posts when the masses finally wake up and realize what has been done to them and by whom. You call this unholy pond scum an investment banker. Them, those, they are the reason for the zika virous, fluoride, aspartame, chemtrails, haarp, gwn, weather modification, perpetual wars, gmo, vaccines, and etc. Yes, low or NO interest rates for the rich, but most ordinary citizens can never qualify for them, they only qualify for loans with substantial higher rates of interest. Ive been told that for commercial type loans, the banks only make those to persons with Free Cash Flow money above $500,000. Since the Rothchilds control and manipulation of central banking is largely what got us here (by design), their assertion of an unknown outcome is a joke. Their predicted outcome is to destroy the Western economies, stripping the people of their wealth, while the bankers redistribute that wealth to themselves and their corporate cronies, all to advance world domination by the few. Theres no conspiracy theory here, just an agenda people dont want to examine. 
2	North Carolina Now Requires Welfare Leeches To Do THIS... The Free Ride Is Over According to recent reports, many food stamp recipients in North Carolina are now required to meet work requirements in order to receive and sustain their benefits. In Robeson County alone, the change will impact 2,814 of the countys 45,000 beneficiaries, a local paper reports. State lawmakers reportedly passed the bill last September, and Gov. Pat McCrory official signed the bill in October. The measure reinstates federal work requirements that were originally part of The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. They were later suspended after the recession hit in 2008. The legislation requires any childless, able-bodied adult between 19 and 49 to meet certain work requirements in order to continue receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Recipients will have three months to find a job, volunteer somewhere, or enter a work-training program. If they fail to do so, they risk having their benefits cut for three years. Those attempting to work fewer than 20 hours per week could also have their benefits revoked. If a participant is disqualified, they can regain benefits by proving that they can meet the work requirements for a 30-day period and beyond. If jobs are available, we want to encourage work, Sherry Bradsher, deputy secretary of the states Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) told reporters. Those who fall under the able-bodied adult category with no dependent children will be reviewed to ensure that they are meeting all requirements every three months, Sally Speights, the program manager responsible for overseeing SNAP benefits, told local reporters. Today, food stamp re-certifications are all done every six months. Two Democrats who represent Robeson County at the state capitol voted against the reform bill, stating it was overly punitive given the shortage of available jobs in the county. Supporters of the program believe this will give recipients a needed push to regain their independence and become self-sustaining citizens. What do you think? Do you support this measure?

1	Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin sought to silence those who have criticized her lack of foreign affairs experience Tuesday by announcing plans for a weeklong, 10-nation tour of Walt Disney World's Epcot. According to Palin, the tripher first past Frontierlandwill include speaking engagements at Norway's famous Viking ride, sausages at Germany's Kaufhaus, and, time permitting, a fact-finding mission to Future World. 'This ambitious trip should finally demonstrate that I am ready to assume the vice presidency, whether by standing in long lines at Morocco's Tangierine Caf or by sitting down face-to-face with Mexico's Three Caballeros,' Palin announced during a campaign stop outside a Chinese restaurant in Tulsa, OK. 'All of our neighbors deserve good diplomacy, from the Universe of Energy down to the French pavilion.' Palin also promised a visit to the American Adventure exhibit before returning home, adding that she hoped to learn more about her own nation and the diverse peoples within. 
3	Another Meaningless Gesture: House Has Enough Votes to Impeach ObamaAND?Melissa Melton Yet he continues to completely ignore the Constitution and he continues to do so right in Congress collective face as if even the ones who will openly admit Obamas actions are in contempt of this country are all hostages in some backwoods basement somewhere tied to chairs without the ability to do anything about it but watch in horror as each new day passes. The most recent Congressperson to come forward is Representative Lou Barletta (R-Pa.), who recently announced on News Radio 910 WSBA that there are likely enough votes in the House to impeach Obama according to The Washington Post: Buzzfeed posted audio of the exchange online Monday. Just before Barlettas remark, Sutton was talking about immigration. Not even when The Washington Post also tells you that if the Democrats lose the Senate, Obama will be impeached. Thats right. No impeachment. No one is going to impeach Obama. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. You heard me. Its just not going to happen. The system of checks and balances an integral part of the Constitution of the United States of America that allows each of the three branches of government to limit the powers of the others (thus keeping them in check) can no longer possibly be applied in Obamas case, and thus, it simply no longer exists in this country. Worse, Obama knows it. (Obviously.) How can I so easily say that? Trust me, it isnt easy, but it is the truth. Communities Digital News sums up this sad day in American history very well: And there you have it. Yeah. Good luck with that. Go ahead and look out your window. Do you see any pigs flying out there? Has Hell frozen over yet? Because it would take at least that much for anyone keeping score to even waste their time getting their hopes up that Obama will be ousted from the Oval Office. In essence, President Obama can continue to sign executive orders until he gets a hand cramp, feign ignorance scandal after scandal, arm terrorists in other nations while actively campaigning to disarm American citizens at home, continue to inform Congress about his decisions to free Taliban terrorists from Guantanamo Bay after the fact and then inform Congress when he decides to send more troops to Iraq, continue to hand over more and more power to the international community (thus setting the precedent for all future presidents), all while he continues to use the Constitution as toilet paper, and in the meantime our borders can just get overrun with illegal immigrants with the ultimate goal of overwhelming the systemand our president will just faithfully continue his duties as puppet for the shareholders of The United States of America, Inc., business as usual. Because you can be sure, no matter what President Obama does at this point, no matter what new unconstitutional horror he unleashes upon Americas tomorrow, it can not and will not possibly effect him either way. Its official. The system is completely broken. President Obama is above the law. 
2	Pizza Hut Kicks Marine Out Of Restaurant For THIS ABSURD Reason According to recent reports, one Pizza Hut customer in Wisconsin was just refused service because he was proudly displaying four patches representing his service as a U.S. Marine. I decided to go to Pizza Hut for their lunch buffet after work and was approached by the manager who came to tell me that for the safety of the patrons and staff they do not allow people in the restaurant wearing gang colors, Rick Libertas Semper wrote on his Facebook page. I was wearing my black leather jacket that has 4 patches and the back of the jacket it embroidered, he continued. One patch says USMC, the other says Marine Combat Veteran, and the 3rd patch is the unit patch for 3rd Marines 3rd Batallion and there is a patch of the US flag on it. Even when he tried to explain himself to the manager, was turned down. I pointed out that these are not gang colors but represent one of the branches of our military, Semper wrote, claiming that he went on to explain that he earned the right to wear them. The manager said he cant be expected to know the difference. What do you think? Should the manager be fired immediately? 
1	Saying this was not at all how he had pictured himself at age 42, local resident Jonathan Cooper confirmed Wednesday that he has nonetheless found himself, in his middle age, stuck in a dead-end body. Cooper, who reportedly spent years trying to make the most of his physique, has gradually become more and more frustrated with his body, which he admitted had little chance of ever turning into anything he would be happy with. I always thought Id wind up with something better than this, but here I am, said Cooper, who reported that his body has grown considerably more difficult to manage. Early on, I thought, This is okay for now. Back then, I used to have such high hopes, but the years just kept going by and it never got any better. When I take an honest look at what I have to deal with day in and day out, I just get depressed. Now, every morning when I wake up, I think, Ugh, this again? he continued. Its not just disappointing; its humiliating, really. Noting that his body leaves him feeling inferior, emasculated, and exhausted at the end of each day, Cooper said he could not even remember what it was he liked about it in the first place. Far from improving, Cooper explained that his body has gone steadily downhill and grown more dysfunctional with time, and admitted that, as the years pass, his likelihood of finding any redeeming aspects of his anatomy becomes more remote. Additionally, given his age, Cooper stated that he will probably have to remain in his current physical situation for the foreseeable future. At this point, I think its too late to do anything about it, so the only thing I can really do is just accept it for what it is and go on with my life, said Cooper, recognizing that while the world is full of people in circumstances far worse than his own, such knowledge was hardly any consolation. The thing is, I remember seeing my father in this exact same situation when I was a kid and swearing that I would never let that happen to me. But of course I ended up just like him, and Im every bit as miserable as he was. I guess the best I can do now is try not to screw it up any more than I already have, Cooper added. The last thing Id want is for it to get any more unbearable. 
1	After enduring years of failed relationships and heartbreak, actress Jennifer Aniston is now engaged to boyfriend Justin Theroux, a man who is not and will never be a true replacement for Brad, representatives for Aniston and Theroux confirmed Monday. 'Justin seems like a very nice guy who treats Jen very well, but c'mon, you can't tell me he even holds a candle to Brad, said Aniston publicist Stephen Huvane, adding that Justin's fine, but Brad's, like, perfect.' 'Sure, she's happy, but is she as happy as she'd be if she had just stayed with Brad? Of course not. And you know she knows it.' Sources reported, however, that Anistons relationship with Theroux is still 'way better than anything she ever had with [Counting Crows frontman] Adam [Duritz].' 
2	BREAKING: Trump Drops Huge Announcement About His Inauguration Ever since Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the presidential election, liberals have been trying to prevent him from making it the White House. Thats why they probably arent happy that the 58th Inaugural Committee just released an initial schedule of events for Trump inauguration, which is still set to take place on January 20. The Gateway Pundit reports the official inaugural will start on January 19 with Trump and Pike Pence laying a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery. Celebrations will then continue through the night with a welcome concert and end with the National Prayer Service on January 21st. President-elect Trump is committed to unifying our country as we once again celebrate the foundation of our American system and the peaceful transfer of power, PIC Chairman Tom Barrack said in a statement. The 2017 inaugural celebrations will reflect President-elect Trumps eagerness to get to work in order to make our country safer and stronger. Below is the full schedule the committee released this week: Thursday, January 19, 2017 
1	ST. LOUISFriends of 33-year-old Drew Sorenson characterized a Sunday alcohol-abuse intervention as a success, reporting that they'd maintained a supportive but firm tone throughout the talk, which they were able to wrap up in time to watch the 12 p.m. Rams-Falcons game. Sorenson and friends watch the game. 'It was important that we establish certain things with Drew,' said Chris Gowan, who first noticed that Sorenson's drinking had become a problem during Wild Card week last season. 'We wanted him to know that we are his friends and we love him, but we won't stand by and watch him destroy his life. And we wanted to get all that said before kickoff, so we could relax and enjoy the game.' It was Gowan, Sorenson's friend since college, who persuaded the support group to meet at his apartment and confront Sorenson. Gowan acknowledged that it was difficult to draw people to his home, because the group usually meets at Sorenson's house to watch Rams games. 'We usually go to Drew's house, but Chris said it was a bad place to talk to Drew about his drinking, 'cause he could just kick everyone out if he got mad,' Sorenson's brother-in-law Cory Pitts said. 'Chris said we needed a non-threatening, familiar environment. So we all had to come to Chris' place, even though his television is about half the size of Drew's and he only has one couch.' Pitts picked Sorenson up early to ensure that he would be on time, and that he would have no chance to drink before the intervention. 'I suggested that maybe we should pick Drew up a little later, so he'd have enough time to make his onion dip, but Chris said we had to be strong,' Pitts said. 'At first, I argued, but then Chris pointed out that we didn't have any time to waste if we were going to confront Drew, give him time to open up to us, and work out a tenable plan for his recovery before the coin toss.' 'So I bought some dip,' Pitts added. The element of surprise is an important part of a well-executed intervention, so Gowan was sure to have the whole group assembled when Sorenson arrived. 'We wanted everything to seem routine,' said Hugh Baker, Sorenson's coworker and immediate supervisor. 'We had our jerseys on, and everyone was just hanging out having a few and watching the ESPN pre-game. We got kinda edgy waiting for them to show up. We were like, 'We really don't want this talk hanging over our heads while we're watching the Rams kick ass.' As soon as he entered Gowan's apartment, Sorenson asked for a beer. Rams player Jeff Wilkins kicks off, just moments after the intervention. 'I turned to Drew and said, 'Hey, man, we all want to talk to you about your drinking problem, so I'm going to turn the pre-game off here for a bit,'' Gowan said. 'Drew was like, 'No way! What are you talking about?' It was hard, but I knew we had to do itor at least turn off the sound.' With the sound muted on the pre-game coverage, Sorenson's friends and loved ones came forward one by one and said they believed drinking was ruining Sorenson's life and their relationships with him. 'We all took turns, trying our best to be firm, honest, and pretty quick about it,' Gowan said. 'And we were careful not to obstruct the screen.' There were reportedly a few tense moments during the intervention, such as when Baker threatened to fire Sorenson if he continued to drink on the job, and when Sorenson insisted the group's claims were 'bullshit,' adding that he was going to walk right into the kitchen and get a beer at the next commercial. 'At one point, Drew accused Chris of abusing painkillers and said I cheated in last year's Super Bowl pool,' Baker said. 'It got really tense. Everyone realized kickoff was only 25 minutes away and there was no resolution in sight.' Friends said they were relieved when, five minutes before kickoff, Sorenson's guard dropped, and he admitted that he'd tried but failed to stop drinking several times during the past year. He agreed to seek treatment. 'I have the greatest friends in the world,' Sorenson said. 'I guess it's tough love, saying things like that to a guy right before the big game against Atlanta and [quarterback] Michael Vick, but I really needed help. And I'm getting it, toothe guys made me call and sign up at this facility called the Lakeside Center immediately. Well, right after the game, I mean.' 
3	US-Saudi Blitz in Yemen: Naked Aggression, Absolute DesperationTony Cartalucci Overcoming the US-Saudi backed regime in Yemen, and a coalition of sectarian extremists including Al Qaeda and its rebrand, the Islamic State, pro-Iranian Yemeni Houthi militias have turned the tide against American soft power and has necessitated a more direct military intervention. While US military forces themselves are not involved allegedly, Saudi warplanes and a possible ground force are. Though Saudi Arabia claims 10 countries have joined its coalition to intervene in Yemen, like the US invasion and occupation of Iraq hid behind a coalition, it is overwhelmingly a Saudi operation with coalition partners added in a vain attempt to generate diplomatic legitimacy. The New York Times, even in the title of its report, Saudi Arabia Begins Air Assault in Yemen, seems not to notice these 10 other countries. It reports: Saudi Arabia announced on Wednesday night that it had launched a military campaign in Yemen, the beginning of what a Saudi official said was an offensive to restore a Yemeni government that had collapsed after rebel forces took control of large swaths of the country. The air campaign began as the internal conflict in Yemen showed signs of degenerating into a proxy war between regional powers. The Saudi announcement came during a rare news conference in Washington by Adel al-Jubeir, the kingdoms ambassador to the United States. Proxy War Against Iran Indeed, the conflict in Yemen is a proxy war. Not between Iran and Saudi Arabia per se, but between Iran and the United States, with the United States electing Saudi Arabia as its unfortunate stand-in. Irans interest in Yemen serves as a direct result of the US-engineered Arab Spring and attempts to overturn the political order of North Africa and the Middle East to create a unified sectarian front against Iran for the purpose of a direct conflict with Tehran. The war raging in Syria is one part of this greater geopolitical conspiracy, aimed at overturning one of Irans most important regional allies, cutting the bridge between it and another important ally, Hezbollah in Lebanon. And while Irans interest in Yemen is currently portrayed as yet another example of Iranian aggression, indicative of its inability to live in peace with its neighbors, US policymakers themselves have long ago already noted that Irans influence throughout the region, including backing armed groups, serves a solely defensive purpose, acknowledging the West and its regional allies attempts to encircle, subvert, and overturn Irans current political order. The US-based RAND Corporation, which describes itself as a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decision making through research and analysis, produced a report in 2009 for the US Air Force titled, Dangerous But Not Omnipotent : Exploring the Reach and Limitations of Iranian Power in the Middle East, examining the structure and posture of Irans military, including its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and weapons both present, and possible future, it seeks to secure its borders and interests with against external aggression. The report admits that: Irans strategy is largely defensive, but with some offensive elements. Irans strategy of protecting the regime against internal threats, deterring aggression, safeguarding the homeland if aggression occurs, and extending influence is in large part a defensive one that also serves some aggressive tendencies when coupled with expressions of Iranian regional aspirations. It is in part a response to U.S. policy pronouncements and posture in the region, especially since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Iranian leadership takes very seriously the threat of invasion given the open discussion in the United States of regime change, speeches defining Iran as part of the axis of evil, and efforts by U.S. forces to secure base access in states surrounding Iran. Whatever imperative Saudi Arabia is attempting to cite in justifying its military aggression against Yemen, and whatever support the US is trying to give the Saudi regime rhetorically, diplomatically, or militarily, the legitimacy of this military operation crumbles before the words of the Wests own policymakers who admit Iran and its allies are simply reacting to a concerted campaign of encirclement, economic sanctions, covert military aggression, political subversion, and even terrorism aimed at establishing Western hegemony across the region at the expense of Iranian sovereignty. Saudi Arabias Imperative Lacks Legitimacy The unelected hereditary regime ruling over Saudi Arabia, a nation notorious for egregious human rights abuses, and a land utterly devoid of even a semblance of what is referred to as human rights, is now posing as arbiter of which government in neighboring Yemen is legitimate and which is not, to the extent of which it is prepared to use military force to restore the former over the latter. The United States providing support for the Saudi regime is designed to lend legitimacy to what would otherwise be a difficult narrative to sell. However, the United States itself has suffered from an increasing deficit in its own legitimacy and moral authority. Most ironic of all, US and Saudi-backed sectarian extremists, including Al Qaeda in Yemen, had served as proxy forces meant to keep Houthi militias in check by proxy so the need for a direct military intervention such as the one now unfolding would not be necessary. This means that Saudi Arabia and the US are intervening in Yemen only after the terrorists they were supporting were overwhelmed and the regime they were propping up collapsed. In reality, Saudi Arabias and the United States rhetoric aside, a brutal regional regime meddled in Yemen and lost, and now the aspiring global hegemon sponsoring it from abroad has ordered it to intervene directly and clean up its mess. Saudi Arabias Dangerous Gamble The aerial assault on Yemen is meant to impress upon onlookers Saudi military might. A ground contingent might also attempt to quickly sweep in and panic Houthi fighters into folding. Barring a quick victory built on psychologically overwhelming Houthi fighters, Saudi Arabia risks enveloping itself in a conflict that could easily escape out from under the military machine the US has built for it. It is too early to tell how the military operation will play out and how far the Saudis and their US sponsors will go to reassert themselves over Yemen. However, that the Houthis have outmatched combined US-Saudi proxy forces right on Riyadhs doorstep indicates an operational capacity that may not only survive the current Saudi assault, but be strengthened by it. Reports that Houthi fighters have employed captured Yemeni warplanes further bolsters this notion revealing tactical, operational, and strategic sophistication that may well know how to weather whatever the Saudis have to throw at it, and come back stronger. What may result is a conflict that spills over Yemens borders and into Saudi Arabia proper. Whatever dark secrets the Western medias decades of self-censorship regarding the true sociopolitical nature of Saudi Arabia will become apparent when the people of the Arabian peninsula must choose to risk their lives fighting for a Western client regime, or take a piece of the peninsula for themselves. Additionally, a transfer of resources and fighters arrayed under the flag of the so-called Islamic State and Al Qaeda from Syria to the Arabian Peninsula will further indicate that the US and its regional allies have been behind the chaos and atrocities carried out in the Levant for the past 4 years. Such revelations will only further undermine the moral imperative of the West and its regional allies, which in turn will further sabotage their efforts to rally support for an increasingly desperate battle they themselves conspired to start. Americas Shrinking Legitimacy It was just earlier this month when the United States reminded the world of Russias invasion of Crimea. Despite having destabilized Ukraine with a violent, armed insurrection in Kiev, for the purpose of expanding NATO deeper into Eastern Europe and further encircling Russia, the West insisted that Russia had and still has no mandate to intervene in any way in neighboring Ukraine. Ukraines affairs, the United States insists, are the Ukrainians to determine. Clearly, the US meant this only in as far as Ukrainians determined things in ways that suited US interests. This is ever more evident now in Yemen, where the Yemeni people are not being allowed to determine their own affairs. Everything up to and including military invasion has been reserved specifically to ensure that the people of Yemen do not determine things for themselves, clearly, because it does not suit US interests. Such naked hypocrisy will be duly noted by the global public and across diplomatic circles. The Wests inability to maintain a cohesive narrative is a growing sign of weakness. Shareholders in the global enterprise the West is engaged in may see such weakness as a cause to divest or at the very least a cause to diversify toward other enterprises. Such enterprises may include Russia and Chinas multipolar world. The vanishing of Western global hegemony will be done in destructive conflict waged in desperation and spite. Today, that desperation and spite befalls Yemen.

1	Noting the modern interface and newly installed software, sources confirmed Tuesday that the vending machine in Kenwood High Schools cafeteria is the most up-to-date technology in the school. This thing is great, said 10th-grade Kenwood High student Charles Pilsen, referring to the schools only touchscreen-enabled device, which also features a computer with a high-speed processor and wireless connectivity. Its so awesome to watch it suction up the snack and drop it down into the bin. The best part is you can pay with cash, a credit card, or a smartphone. At press time, the vending machine was temporarily unavailable as a service technician performed routine maintenance to ensure that the device was functioning properly.

'The best way we can think of to thank our loyal fans is to make it easier for them to duck out anytime after tip-off,' Orender told reporters. 'The first 100 guests will receive a special golden pass that, when redeemed, will not only give them exclusive access to the VIP exits, but also a free rib dinner at any participating Damon's Grill restaurant.' Orender also stressed that the promotion was not available to WNBA employees, family members, or players. 
3	Color Revolution 2.0 in Lebanon: From Piles of Trash to Piles of RubbleBy Tony Cartalucci The latest target is Lebanon where protests have begun in the streets of the capital, Beirut. Branded the YouStink! marches, the alleged provocation was dysfunctional municipal garbage collection services. However, very predictably, the protests have shifted quickly from what could have been perceived as legitimate demands to outright calls for regime change. Just recently in Armenia, the US conducted what appeared to be a test run of its new and improved color revolution system of regime change. It attempted to create a movement with little if any initial political affiliation and with deeply hidden ties between protest organizers and their US State Department affiliations. Ultimately the so-called Electric Yerevan protests, whose alleged grievances were rising electric bills, spent so much time trying to convince Armenians and people around the world that they werent a US-backed mob, they never succeeded in building up sufficient momentum to move on to the next step. The trick was to first use rising electrical costs as a pretext to stage the protests, then quickly swing them around to demand a change in government. Likely, provocations and violence were planned for later stages, as well as opportunities for Americas client opposition parties to take over and swell the ranks of street mobs with their supporters. In Armenia, Americas next generation of color revolutions failed. In Beirut, however, it seems that the protests have made it at least to the point where the alleged pretext piles of garbage have now been replaced with demands for regime change. Despite the 2005 so-called Cedar Revolution being exposed as entirely US-engineered, paving the way for the expulsion of Syrian troops from Lebanon and an Israeli attack on the country the following year, many even in the alternative press have been taken in by what should be an obvious, albeit more carefully concealed, follow-up to 2005s events. Transcending emotional appraisals of street mobs and reciting the alleged demands and motivations of the protesters themselves, protests are like anything else in the real world they require leaders, organization, money, logistics, and infrastructure to function. The YouStink! protest is no different. Trawling through the Western medias reports, several names are repeatedly mentioned as organizers and leaders. They include Asaad Thebian, an alumni of the US State Departments U.S.-Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI). In 2014, Thebian would be standing in front of American flags, and behind a podium with the US State Departments seal affixed to it at a MEPI event, berating the Lebanese government. Now in 2015, he is attempting to overthrow it. Thebian would be quoted by Al Jazeera claiming: We started as dozens of protesters and now were thousands, Asaad Thebian, an activist with the You Stink! campaign, said during Fridays press conference. We are demanding parliamentary elections. The International Business Times would expand on what is clearly taking shape as the true agenda behind the protests. In their article, You Stink Demonstrators In Beirut Issue 72-Hour Ultimatum, Vow To Spread Protests In Lebanon Nationwide, they would report that: In Beiruts symbolic Martyrs Square recently, protesters have chanted, The people want the downfall of the government and Revolution! Some have drawn parallels between these rallies and the demonstrations that swept many Arab countries in 2011 and 2012, which led to the toppling of a number of regimes in the Middle East and North Africa. Joining Thebian is Michel Elefteriades who helped co-organize the US-backed mobs in Lebanon in 2005s Cedar Revolution and worked for years to expel Syrian troops from Lebanon. The International Business Times would conduct a lengthy interview with him in their report, Lebanon You Stink protests: We are not Egypt, claims activist Michel Elefteriades. The report would quote Elefteriades as saying: This is not similar to what happened in Egypt or elsewhere where people were manipulated, or without greater political awareness, Elefteriades exclusively told IBTimes UK from Beirut. Elefteriades, in addition to claiming somehow their protest is different, would also attempt to assuage fears of a power vacuum forming if the current government was ousted: There is a leadership that is ready to take over and there will not be a vacuum, Elefteriades explained. There are many people, with great capacities, but that are still suffocated by this political elite and this new class will never be able to lead this country because those in place dont want to give them space. So, as soon as that old political class will have left, there will be the emergence of a new political class, from one day to the next. There is also Lucien Bourjeily, a theater artist who in 2012 organized a London showing of 66 Minutes in Damascus. The London Guardian would review his play, in which the audience was immersed in the experience of being a political prisoner of the crumbling Assad regime in Syria. Also telling is Walid Jumblatts support of the mobs. In a Lebanese National News Agency report titled, Jumblatt urges You Stink organizers to halt political manipulation of their movement, it was stated that: MP Walid Jumblatt tweeted on Sunday that yesterdays protest in Down Town Beirut truly expressed the pains suffered by the Lebanese. He compelled those responsible for You Stink movement not to allow political parties to take advantage of this spontaneous movement and abort it prematurely. He also urged the movements organizers to study the proper mechanism to execute their demands. Jumblatts calls are similar to those made by US-proxy political opposition parties in Armenia who insisted the protests were spontaneous and urged the clearly politically motivated movement to remain unpolitical. An added touch to Lebanons current round of protests was the protesters rejecting Jumblatts support for the movement. It is likely that Jumblatt and others will end up literally on stage leading protests if they escalate long enough before sectarian violence is finally triggered. Jumblatt role is significant and his name should be familiar to those following events in the Middle East. It was Jumblatt who conspired with then US Vice President Dick Cheney on how best to undermine neighboring Syria in the years leading up to the 2011 war. Revealed in Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hershs 2007 report The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefitting our enemies in the war on terrorism? Jumblatt suggested using the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, a scheme that even at the time had already gotten underway. Hersh would report: Jumblatt then told me that he had met with Vice-President Cheney in Washington last fall to discuss, among other issues, the possibility of undermining Assad. He and his colleagues advised Cheney that, if the United States does try to move against Syria, members of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood would be the ones to talk to, Jumblatt said. Hersh would also report that funding was already being channeled by the US and Saudi Arabia to the Brotherhood. Of course, by 2011, the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood along with Al Qaeda would use those resources to begin an armed confrontation with the Syrian government which rages on to this day. The events Jumblatt helped set in motion in 2007 and the war in Syria that has played out since 2011, is linked directly to the YouStink! protests. Considering that the various common threads between all involved in Lebanons current protests include US backing and an overt hatred for Syria, claims that sectarian motivation and politics do not drive YouStink! are patently false an intentional misdirection predicated on piles of garbage and repetitive slogans claiming somehow this revolution is not just another US-engineered color revolution. But like in Armenia earlier this year, it is just another US-engineered color revolution. The ultimate goal is to create chaos in Lebanon sufficient enough to disrupt Hezbollahs operations regionally against the army of terrorist the US and its regional allies, including supporters of YouStink! helped organize as far back as 2007. As in the past, protests in Lebanon are aimed not at improving the future of the Lebanese people, but aimed instead at disrupting the stability of neighboring Syria. What follows these disingenuous protests is likely a rerun of what followed the so-called Cedar Revolution in 2005. After that admittedly US-backed protest and the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon, Israel conducted extensive air raids and even a ground invasion of the country in the following year. Despite the impression that the Cedar Revolution left Lebanon particularly vulnerable, US-backed Israeli operations against Lebanon ended catastrophically for Tel Aviv. The air campaign failed to achieve any strategic or even tactical objectives and the ground invasion was essentially repelled with Israel calling off the operation before reaching the Litani River the stated objective of Israeli ground forces. If YouStink! can evolve into a sufficient level of chaos undermining Hezbollah in Lebanon, and with the organizations resources already stretched in neighboring Syria fighting terrorist armies backed by the US and its regional allies, Israel will likely be used again in a 2006-style conflict or worse in the hopes that this time the dynamics of the region are decidedly working in the Wests favor. Regardless of the outcome of YouStink!, the additional pressure political destabilization in Lebanon puts upon Damascus and Tehran can only detract from efforts to restore peace and stability across the Levant. YouStink! organizers claim they are fighting for the future of Lebanon. In reality, they are jeopardizing not only Lebanons future, but that of the entire region. They are attempting to strike a match in a region already parched by the heat of the fires of nearby conflict. If YouStink! succeeds in their true objectives, they will bring immeasurable suffering to all in Lebanon and to many more beyond their borders. And as in the wake of the Cedar Revolution, the only parties that stand to benefit are the US and its regional allies who seek nothing less than Lebanons complete and perpetual failure as a sovereign state.

2	VIDEO: Air Force Blatantly Disobeys Obama, Youll Want To See This The military has recently invested a large sum of money into the making of a new commercial, which strives to invoke emotion and passion in the hearts of American viewers. The goal is to gain support and encourage Americans to enlist. The new advertisement appears to do just thatwhile simultaneously insulting President Obama. In the commercial, entitled Americas Future, several presidents are shown including John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George Bush. All of these former American leaders are shown making inspirational statements about the Air Force. Noticeably missing is a clip of current president Barack Obama, given that he is the current Commander-in-Chief of the men and women in uniform today. We doubt that the presidents actions are seen as inspiration, and with approval rates as low as his, it is safe to assume that 90% of potential viewers would disapprove of his appearance. What do you think of the Air Forces hidden message to the president? 
3	Russia Intercepts Israeli Jets; Threatens Shootdown: ReportBy Brandon Turbeville The Israeli planes were apparently flying over the Akkar region of northern Lebanon. Iranian media has reported that the Israeli mission was to spy on Russian ships currently docked at the port of Tartus in Syria. The Iranian outlet, al-Alam, also reported that the Israelis were attempting to spy on Russian planes flying out of the Latakia air base and to determine whether or not the Russians are providing arms to Hezbollah. Although in September the Russians and the Israelis reached an agreement regarding the airspace over Syria so as not to experience any unintended clashes between the two air forces, the Israelis have still poked and prodded at the outskirts of Russian-controlled air space on a number of occasions, prompting the Russians to respond by ordering them out of the area. As Mint Press News reports, Russias defense ministry said Thursday that its forces in Syria had set up a hotline with Israels military to avoid clashes in the sky over the war-torn country. An information-sharing mechanism has been established through a hotline between the Russian aviation command center at the Hmeimim air base (in Syria) and a command post of the Israeli air force, the ministry said in a statement, adding that the two sides were undergoing training on how to cooperate. According to As Safir, the Lebanese source said that Russian aircraft immediately blocked the Israeli jets path while they flew above the Akkar region in northern Lebanon. The Russians immediately sent a clear warning to the Israelis that entering Syrian airspace would be a pretext for opening fire, the source added. According to the paper, which is considered loyal to Hezbollah, the Israeli aircraft quickly heeded the warnings and changed their course. After decades of having their run of the place, it seems that the Israelis are finally being told to stay in their own sandbox, even if the sandbox does belong to someone else. While it is no doubt a positive step to see the Israelis forced to act in a civilized manner, a direct military confrontation between Israel and Russia would no doubt be both a dangerous escalation in the Syrian conflict and the tensions between Russia and the United States.

Notice the key phrase- FORCED to act in a civilized manner. And yes fraught with risk, because nothing would make a neocon happier than a casus belli involving an incident where an Israeli jet is fired upon, preferably downed I assume, the sick bastards, but I have to say- I havent felt this much absolute giddy schadenfreude since I dont know when. Its like when you see some a-hole driving like a maniac, almost runs you off the road then flips YOU off, and two minutes later you see em pulled over by the cops. You might not like cops, but you sure take pleasure in that situation. It may be just Israel probing response time, like Russias accidental border incursions testing Turkeys air defenses, so no big deal, but the Israeli bully getting kicked out of their heretofore zone of impunity gives me joy no end. Bout time. I can totally relate to that giddy feeling ol And not only in relation to the Bolshevik state that calls itself Israel, but also watching Russia put Washington in check. I strangely feel intense pleasure in watching the traitors running this country begin to realize their end is near. I wish someone would have taken a photo of Netanutjob at the moment he was told his jets had been run off. I bet he had actual steam coming out of both ears. LOL Russia has deployed but not employed S300, S400 systems in the middle east. Things will get very interesting when they do. And they will. Wonder if the Ruskies can handle Israels US MIC Tin Foil Dome? Last night Charlie Joo-Banker Hand Puppet Rose interviewed John Mad Cow McCain on PBS (Pure Bull Sh*t) and McCain stated that a no fly zone should be established over Syria immediately. Talk about your total detachment from reality. Putin is illustrating to the World at large who the 911 perps that manufactured the endless War on Terrah are. Here in the JooSofA after 14 years of FBI nailing 18 year old antisocial saps with 20 gallon propane cylinders and a cigarette lighter and then sentencing them to 20 years in prison are about to come to an end. It is my sincerest hope that the FBI federal employees involved in this criminal deception are prosecuted as the enemies of the Constitution that they in fact are. But I rant recent epiphany - W-rong Bush MURDERED hundreds of First Responders by having that woman from the EPA reassure them that the area was SAFE to work in when the government knew DAMN WELL it was NOT. Now cancer is causing SLOW AGONIZING DEATH while the Politicians pretend to care. Nice rant. Great euphimisms, too. Pretty funny. Im retired. To much time on my hands Im jobless at the moment, right there with ya. Temporarily, I hope. But hey, keep em coming, I do appreciate the humor, news being so gawd awful soul killing horribly depressing as it is. And its only Wednesday. Chin up! On the Streets and in the Towns this is still America. The MSM (mainstream melodrama) is a script. Pursuit of Happiness Those founder framers Dudes were stoners for sure. Pursue your Happiness sir. Good Day! Thanks I needed that, just got bad news myself unrelated to this. Nothing live/death and not that it cant be solved, just frustrating, but your positive message couldnt come at a better time They are the best in the world and they are in Syria now. Thats why the Israelis promptly turned around. Im not sure what radar system noticed them but they have it covered. They control Syria you dont see anything more than this challenging them and McCain trying to give weapons to the rebels aka our enemy. Remember the saying Never Mess with Texas? Now, the IDF bullies will be hearing the phrase Never Mess with Russia. Read up on Khibiny to get the answers. Actually any Russian/Israeli conflict will be very interesting. No relationship could be fraught with more contradictory or loaded historical context. Many Jews in Israel from Russia and Jews have a long and rather dark history of conflict between their elite at least and their main enterprises in Russia and around Russia and its historical Byzantine forefathers. F38k Israel Just use protection because the risk from STDs would be extreme and imagine yet another hybrid resulting from anything else being bred with the Zionist DNA? After all the result of the unnatural union of Islam and Zionism gave us Wahhabism writ large. The arrogance of the International Jews is being challenged in the Middle East . Putin is a sovereign leader, of a sovereign nation, free of the NWO, and his leadership cannot be matched by the Rothschilds puppets leading the West. Lebanese ,and Syrian airspace belongs to those respective countries, and not the NWO. We are witnessing the end of , the greater Israel project,and the Project for a New American Century. Thank you Mr Putin, and Russia ! Next Europe /Germany must be freed from NATO ! I hope Russia invades and annihilates Israel 
2	BREAKING: Obama To Be Deported By Justice Dept. Lawyer Larry Klayman, Former Justice Department lawyer and the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom watch has made one thing clear: hes not afraid to sue for what he believes in. According to recent reports, Klayman has just filed a lawsuit calling for Obamas deportation based on a list of documents and videos he collected and compiled into a 20 page petition. The document includes evidence like the falsified birth certificate and other suspicious forms of personal identification. Klayman has previously and successfully sued Cuba and the NSA. While the call for deportation appears to be an extreme solution, it could be a justified action if the facts in Klaymans report prove to be legitimate. What do you think? Do you support Klaymans stand against President Obama? 
1	Patting down his onesie with mounting concern, local 8-month-old Joshua McManus was reportedly overcome by a sharp, sinking feeling Monday upon realizing he had left home without his oversize multicolor plastic keys. Oh, noyou have got to be kidding me, McManus reportedly thought to himself, his stomach dropping as he wondered how he could possibly make it through the day without his large ring of blue, pink, yellow, and green keys. Ah, for crying out loud. I got so wrapped up in that game of peekaboo with Dada before I headed out that I must have totally spaced on grabbing them. I bet theyre still sitting there on the activity table right next to my phone-on-wheels. Im such an idiot. At press time, a visibly frustrated McManus had vowed to himself that he would never leave the house again without making sure he had picked up his colorful set of keys and explicitly placed them in his mouth. 
1	After visiting his primary care physician Tuesday with complaints of intense pain in his left leg, computer programmer Dan Fields was referred to a specialist who focuses on giving a shit. 'I want to send you to someone who specializes in not dismissing you brusquely after three minutes,' Dr. Paul Niles said as he hastily scrawled out a referral and pushed Fields to the door. 'Dr. Lewis is really one of the best out there at regarding patients as actual human beings. If anyone's going to listen closely without resenting you for taking too much of his time, it's him.' Niles added that his colleague's reputation for giving a shit, however, often meant waiting at least four months to get an appointment. 
3	Defense Cuts and the Global EmpireSARTRE The War on Terror is a tired excuse that keeps precision smart weapon dominance deployed, which shells suspect bombers with impunity. The technologists that develop and refine methods for more efficient killing machinery hardly earn the honor defenders of the nation. The mere suggestion that armed services cutbacks are unpatriotic or places the homeland in peril is an invented euphemism to disguise the true nature of the coercive global empire that has replaced our Constitutional Republic. The Economics of Sequestration points out that, while many auditors would agree that the bloated expenditures within the military-industrial-complex has much to do with an adventurist foreign policy, the architects of sequestration refused to do a straight across the board reductions in all budgets. John Barnett presents the political difficulty of actually cutting the military budget in the Brookings Institution video, How Will Military Spending Cuts Affect Us Down the Road? You can always depend upon establishment mouthpieces to exculpate and argue for the military money machine. However, when pressed, an alternative approach comes from Lawrence J. Korb, a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, served as an assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan administration, who proposes a small down payment on How to cut $100B from the defense budget. Implementing the following four politically feasible reforms to the defense budget would save $100 billion over the next decade. First, reduce the size of the U.S. nuclear stockpile to 1,100 weapons. Second, cancel the Navy variant of the F-35 and instead purchase the more affordable and effective F/A-18 E/F. Third, reduce the size of the U.S. ground forces to their pre-9/11 levels as we wind down the war in Afghanistan. And finally, implement sensible provisions to reduce the over-utilization of services in the militarys Tricare for Life health care program. A modest $100 billion reduction will not be sufficiently to reverse the explosive, irresponsible growth in defense spending that has occurred since 9/11. In fact, the bipartisan group of 22 and the presidents own deficit reduction committee (Simpson-Bowles) both suggest much larger draw-downs. But these reductions present a politically achievable down payment to avert the fiscal cliff and buy the Obama administration and Congress more time to deal with the larger fiscal challenges facing the Department of Defense. The typical response from the Top Pentagon Brass Lay Out Details of Sequestration Nightmare, begs even the appearance of balance or veracity. As federal budget deficits spiral, the DoD schemes to defend the only conflict that can win; namely, the budget battle. Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter called the twin evils of sequestration and a year-long continuing resolution more dangerous than its ever been as the Pentagon faces its biggest cut in history. He warned that cuts of $42 billion by the end of fiscal 2013 would mean a drastic shortfall in the funding we need to do training, which inhibits our capacity to fight. The Defense Department, he added, would have to go back and redo our national defense strategy. The entire point of Secretary Carters appeal is that the national defense strategy is even more sacrosanct than the outlay on hardware budgets. The key mistake in the security equation is that this stratagem is a formula for unnecessary and excessive expenditures. Now compare reality with the Pentagon hype. WAR PIGS THE FALL OF A GLOBAL EMPIRE presents compelling condemnation that the Obama administration is no different from so called GOP hawks. Any doubt that the Military Industrial Complex is as strong as ever should be removed after examining Obamas 2012 Budget which has $900 billion dedicated to our military machine. We spent $370 billion in 2001, $620 billion in 2006, and now this liberal anti-war Democrat from Illinois is spending 45% more than that war monger Bush who was burned in effigy by the anti-war Democrats during Iraq War protests. It seems both parties are war pigs. You would think we must be trying to keep up with our enemies by spending $900 billion per year on past and present military adventures. But one look at the following chart reveals the United States is spending almost as much as the rest of the world combined. The two countries considered potential rivals, China and Russia, spent $200 billion combined in 2010. This is 22% of U.S. spending. From a foreign viewpoint, one must wonder why the U.S. is spending such vast sums on our military. They can only conclude that it is for offensive intentions rather than defensive. The United States soil has not been attacked by a foreign power since December 7, 1941. Prior to that surprise attack, a foreign power hadnt attacked the U.S. since the War of 1812. With this stupendous level of wasteful spending, our leaders feel compelled to interfere in the business of sovereign states and dictate how they should govern their nations. When you have an enormous hammer, every country looks like a nail. Reasonable observers know intuitively that continued increases for defense spending does not enhance security any more than feeding funds into a government school system produces better educated students. The argument that the world is a very dangerous place has merit if the State Department would reflect upon the role the imperial American empire plays in the growing hatred for our once great country.The article, Alternative to Establishment Foreign Policy Politics, states: The reason why nothing changes to reverse the foreign policy of the imperial empire is that international globalists control the country. As long as this takeover of authentic national security continues, the game of cooked up fear will persist and used as justification for bellicose military deployment. What is the point of trying to bomb the world into submission, when the collateral damage of corpses, become nourishment for even more national hatred? The sarcasm of the War Pigs sums up the irrationality and places the Pentagon budget into a much-needed perspective. Laughably, the neo-con hawks and Fox News pundits declare that our military is a hollow shell and needs much greater funding to insure our safety from attack by our many enemies. Other countries, such as China and Russia, feel they have no choice but to increase their expenditures on the military. On a percentage basis, they have more than doubled their expenditures in the last ten years, and still are a drop in the ocean compared to American Empire spending. Whatever form sequestration takes or a brokered compromise adopts, limiting the growth in military spending, would be the best expected. The mere thought of trimming back the budget is viewed as a defeat for the defense contractor lobby. Notwithstanding, such a sacrifice for the military-industrial-complex, the country will continue to adjust. Keeping Americans safe starts with defending our borders and not expanding the legionnaire footprint across the globe. The proper role for international relations is to adhere to an America First doctrine. The essay, NATO a Dinosaur Overdue for Extinction, makes the point: The superpower status of military projection has not brought the promised Pax Americana . . . NATO doesnt secure an advance for our country, but only provides the military command and enforcement that imposes the will of global masters. Consider the burden placed on the DoD budget to facilitate the inadequacies of allied countries that beg for assistance. The recent French military intervention into Mali comes to mind. Now just, imagine the lurid consequences of aiding Israel in a first strike against Iran. The effort to derail the Chuck Hagel conformation for Defense Secretary is a regretful attempt to wreck an orderly adjustment in the too big to fail military supplier culture. Abandon the failed objective of overseas nation building and start practicing the vital task of reconstructing our own declining society. An honorable country demands our foregoing the long history of fostering A Splendid Little War. A scale back of treasure and resources is prudent and needs to be administered in a manner that secures a cap on future extravagant spending.

1	In an announcement that met with sarcastic cheers, Nate Pilson, lead singer of opening act Dickbasket, issued a two-more-songs warning to a crowd waiting to see headline act The Colecovisions. 'This next one's gonna be our next-to-last song,' said Pilson, 25, prompting widespread stretching and watch-checking among the Bimbo's 365 Club crowd. 'It's from our upcoming EP. Hope you like it.' Pilson then energetically launched into the song, trying not to notice the throngs of concertgoers streaming toward the bar or resuming the conversations they were having before the warning. 
1	After nearly six years on the air, NBC's hit show The Office ended abruptly Thursday when documentary filmmaker Ian Sheffield announced that he and his crew had all the footage of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company's Scranton branch required for their project. 'In retrospect, we really over-shot this thing by an enormous margin,' said Sheffield, adding that he likely had more than enough good material after filming a British workplace from 2001 to 2003. 'We would have finished much earlier if one employee or another didn't insist on being interviewed every three minutes. And I have no idea why we were invited to Jim and Pam's wedding. All of that stuff is totally unusable.' Sheffield said that the footage will be drastically cut down and used primarily as B-roll for the planned 90-minute educational film about paper manufacture and production. 
3	Ukraine Crisis: The Battle for SlavyanskTony Cartalucci The citys defenders have downed several helicopters and have been clashing with regime forces throughout the day. By the time of publishing, it appears that regime forces are still mired in the outskirts of the city, unable to advance inward due to both armed defenders, and human chains of unarmed civilians. Elsewhere across Ukraine, the regimes Neo-Nazi supporters have once again taken to the streets, assaulting anti-regime protesters and attempting to dislodge protesters from government buildings they have recently taken. Claims across the Western media and within the regime in Kiev itself that seizing government buildings is equivalent to terrorism ring hollow as the regime itself came to power through just such tactics. Meanwhile, the West continues to support both the unelected regime in Kiev, and the ongoing assaults being carried out across the nations restive regions support affirmed after both a series of visits from Western leaders seemed to green light the operations in the first place, and NATO officers turning up at the edge of targeted towns just before the assaults began. It should be remembered that the United States in particular has already approved of supplying the regimes military forces with rations and has been considering expanded aid. Thus the ongoing and increasingly transparent atrocities being carried out by the regime in Kiev, are the atrocities of the West, who is on record supporting them in both political and material terms. The Responsibility to Protect Of course, President Obama was not referring to the Ukrainian city of Slavyansk, where indeed regime forces battle on the outskirts and a massacre looms that will surely reverberate across the region and stain the conscience of the world. He was instead referring to the terrorist capital of North Africa Benghazi Libyathe epicenter of Al Qaedas franchise, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), a US State Department designated terrorist organization. It was in Benghazi that the United States and its regional collaborators had armed and funded terrorists to begin the violent overthrow of the Libyan government, just as they had tried many times before. The United States and its European partners in NATO invoked the responsibility to protect (R2P), in order to save its terrorist proxies from being overwhelmed by Tripolis sweeping counteroffensive. NATO would prevail, and Libya would predictably be plunged into the darkness that could only have resulted by arming and putting into power sectarian extremists. Entire cities were starved, brutalized, and exterminated in reality, just as the West had claimed in fiction Tripoli had been doing in the run up to NATOs military intervention. In other words, the West used R2P as cover to militarily intervene and execute long-planned regime change in Libya. It went as far as fabricating a narrative amid violence it itself had triggered and intentionally perpetuated. Now in Ukraine, the West is attempting to do precisely the opposite. It has unleashed a humanitarian catastrophe upon Ukraine across multiple fronts. It has destabilized it politically with foreign-funded subversion, resulting most recently in the ousting of an elected government and its replacement by a violent, unelected regime composed of Nazis, racists, bigots, and anti-Semites. It has also set Ukraine up for economic collapse, with its IMF imposing crippling austerity upon the Ukrainian population as American and European corporations begin wrapping their tentacles around the resources rightfully belonging to the Ukrainian people. And militarily, NATO is backing the regime in its attempts to crush widening protests against the illegitimate regime and the myriad of disastrous policies and abuses of power it has already demonstrated. All while doing this, the West is attempting to sabotage calls from Russia to deescalate the crisis and to protect protesters in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine, who by all accounts, have every right to be both upset and up in arms. While the West has crutched its meddling around the world upon the tenuous excuse of promoting democracy and Western values, it is now propping up an unelected regime composed of leaders who diametrically oppose these so-called Western values. The responsibility to protect, if ever there was a time to invoke it, falls upon Russia and others, and must be applied against a military campaign being executed by a regime that is neither elected nor supported by the people of Ukraine. Were it, the regime would not have to conscript soldiers to participate in a campaign clearly none want any part in.

1	Amid the spread of the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, virus, the World Health Organization announced today that the only known cure for the fatal infection is, for some reason, the debut fragrance from pop star Adam Levine. After numerous clinical trials involving broad-spectrum antibiotics, antiviral agents, and immunomodulatory therapy, we have concluded that, somehow, none of those treatments proved even remotely as effective as Adam Levine for Men Eau de Toilette and Adam Levine for Women Eau de Parfum, WHO assistant director-general Keiji Fukuda said of the new cologne from the lead singer of Maroon 5, which is the first known cure for the deadly SARS-like virus beyond supportive medical care. We cant explain why; all we know is if youre traveling to the Arabian Peninsula, we recommend drinking 3-4 oz. a day of the fragrance, or injecting 6 oz. at the first sign of fever, cough, or breathing trouble. Also, we are working around the clock to do something about the smell, but it may not be remediable. When reached for comment, Levine said that learning his new perfume product provided effective relief from the latest fatal strain of coronavirus was awesome, man. So cool. 
2	Obama Breaks Silence About THIS Massive Lie This Is Grounds For Impeachment Once again, President Obama is proving that he is a terrible role model for todays youth.

Many Americans believe that Obama lied about his identity to get into the White House, and there is plenty of proof to indicate that he has continued to lie ever since. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
3	Did Ferguson Police Use Kill Switch on Livestream Signal The Moment They Created Chaos?It keep saying no network error. We had a foreign reporter on the roof with us and she wasnt able to get a signal on her cell phone. And people on the ground were saying I cant tweet out.' Livestreamer Argus Radio. It seems like the police state is using protests in Ferguson as a testing ground for all of their crowd-control weapons. Many are obvious like the curfew enforced by platoons of soldiers, armored tanks mounted by snipers, stun, tear and smoke grenades, no-fly zone, sound cannons, and designated free speech zones and media zones (apparently theyre different now). However, some weapons are less obvious like technology to kill livestream feeds during questionable police activity. And thats precisely what happened last night according to Fergusons most prolific livestreamer Argus Radio. The Argus livestream has been filming the protests non-stop for the last week manned by volunteer University of Missouri post-grad student Mustafa Hussein. A week ago, Hussein reported live Weve just been told by the St. Louis Police Department to turn off our cameras.We will not be turning off our cameras. We will continue to broadcast, even if it is at our own peril. So the cameras continued to film. Flash forward a week and on early Wednesday morning just after midnight, Argus had no choice in the matter as their feed was cut off. Hussein reportedafterward: We reset the broadcast three times and it keep saying no network error. We had a foreign reporter on the roof with us and she wasnt able to get a signal on her cell phone. And people on the ground were saying I cant tweet out, I cant tweet out. Use of a government kill switch during protests is precisely what civil liberties groups warned makes this technology so dangerous. Its important to note that this kill switch appears to have jammed the cell signal rather than shutting down the entire Internet or specific digital equipment. A recent California bill requires smartphones to have kill switches to prevent theft, but critics worry the government can use them to remotely shut off phone cameras and 4G access. Regardless, last night the digital surveillance state seemed to merge with the militarized police state in a spectacular show of power. Interestingly, the evening before authorities tried another bizarre tactic. The police created what appeared to be a two-tiered free speech zone; one area for protesters and another for the press. Protesters marched in circles on the street and journalists took pictures from the sidewalk. The journalists far outnumbered the protesters and it all seemed very staged. The police eventually got tired and claimed that everyone must disperse, except for the credentialed media, who were allowed to stay. It was eerily similar to journalists whore embedded with the troops. As the militarized police assault began in the free speech zone, many protesters hid with media to use them as human shields. Surreal. Later, State Police Captain Ron Johnson said thatthey identified credentialed press as those with $50,000 cameras. Apparently violating the rights of elite journalists is forbidden, but crushing peaceful assembly and citizen journalists is just fine. Maybe they just cant hack the satellite signal on expensive cameras? The very root of the uproar in Ferguson is the lack of accountability for a police officers actions, and that outrage is being met with new and improved ways to hide unethical police actions, now including information kill switches. The ultimate police state weapon is one that hides its brutality from the public, at least until they come to a town near you.

2	Police Officer Makes Detained Muslim Eat Pork Off Ground, And Then THIS Happens A police officer from Germany forced a Muslim immigrant that he had detained to eat raw pork off of the ground. The Muslim was unable to provide his papers, and so he was detained and cuffed. The officer proceeded to strangle the man and stick his fingers in his nose to suffocate him (not with the intention of killing him). In talking to his friends over the attack, he said that the Muslim squealed like a pig, and that it was funny. Next, the officer went after a 19 year-old Moroccan man. After arrested him for possession of drugs, the officer forced him to eat minced pork off of the ground. The officer has come under intense scrutiny, and it isnt likely that he will keep his job. Do you think the officer went way too far?

3	Amazon Delivery Drones Are Just The First Step To A Highway In The SkyBy Andy Miah, University of Salford If successful, it will essentially create a high-altitude floating highway between 200 and 400 feet above the ground, within which a whole range of activities could be performed. As a result, everything from drone ambulances to drone police surveillance are on the cards for our future. So how ready are we for this transformation of air space? Amazons announcement reveals the plan focuses on three key aspects of drone technology that the UKs Civil Aviation Authority has said it wants to see innovation in. The first of these is collision avoidance technology, the kind you already find in cars, where sensors detect how close the car is to another object or vehicle and prevents it from crashing. This is important because present rules ban users from flying their drones outside of their line of sight, so they can always take control if theres a problem. Collision avoidance does away with that need because the drone would be able to stop itself from causing accidents. The second technology is fully autonomous systems, essentially intelligent flying machines that would require very little if any human control. Such devices could be capable of deciding where and when they fly, and could be mixed use systems. The same drones could conceivably be used to provide emergency support to patients in need of blood quickly, or for delivering a stove to campers who forgot to pack everything. The third objective is to test out a system that would enable a single operator to fly multiple drones at the same time. This points to the possibility of fleets of flying objects that could undertake any number of operations, from police surveillance and crowd management, to disaster monitoring and rescue operations. For example, if a mountaineer is lost in the hills, a single operator could manage a number of drones to fly across a region and identify the site where the person is located. Together, the drones will share information to speed up the process and ensure support is provided as quickly as possible. Cracking these technological challenges is a core priority for drone regulators, not least because it will open up drones for use in all kinds of other capacities. For instance, in the last two years, researchers have been developing a drone ambulance. This is essentially a flying defibrillator that could be sent out to someone having a medical emergency and used by a bystander to provide essential care when no other alternative is available. We can expect to eventually see drones flying urgent medical products around the UK, helping to save lives and beat the current limitations of ground deliveries.Amazon already has a remarkable delivery network and moving into drones at this early stage will ensure it dominates future airborne delivery systems, as well as adding to its brand image of being a technology innovator. So, its reasonable to assume that the British government is working with Amazon to enhance its capacity to pursue a range of other drone applications, from connecting drones to smart city technology to enabling all kinds of surveillance. After that, a wide variety of commercial interests will follow with any number of claims being made to occupy our low-level air space. These prospects wont sit well with everyone and there are already indications of how the public will resist such trends. In the US, for example, a project called No Fly Zone allows people to register the air space around their homes as private and is calling on drone manufacturers to pre-program their machines to avoid it. The proliferation of drones around us in the world also raises the questions of how they will all be organised. Will drones be flying around randomly, avoiding each other with their collision avoidance technology? There is a good chance that a drone highway will actually mirror our present-day road network. The advantage of this would be that drones could count on an established configuration of routes that are mapped out around the world. This may not be the most direct flight path but it takes into account that drone highways, like our present road network, will become quickly congested. This kind of issue shows why we need some sensible rules to avoid catastrophic failure.

1	Though initial calculations showed it to be on a direct collision course with Earth, a pansy-ass asteroid approximately the size of Rhode Island has instead altered its trajectory to avoid the planet by more than 40,000 miles, astronomers at the University of Arizona reported Monday. This wuss missed the Earth by a long shot. 'Guess it just didn't have the spuds to go through with it,' Richard A. Kowalski of the school's Catalina Sky Survey said. 'Real big surprise. Maybe you can try again when you accrete a little more mass than 6.32 x 1015 kilograms, okay? Chicken-shit.' Kowalski said that one month ago Asteroid 2009-XG2nicknamed 'Old Limp Dick'was following a path that, even accounting for heat friction and gravitational pull from other celestial bodies, gave it a 97 percent chance of striking Earth. Further observation and calculations, however, indicated that the asteroid would instead tuck its balls between its legs and change its course by more than 22 degrees. 'This potential extinction-level event turned out to be a puss-out of cosmic proportions,' Kowalski said. 'Earth didn't even flinch. You know what, why don't you give it another go, little guy? Huh? You can even take a free shot at the moon to warm up.' Scientists in this observatory used a high-powered telescope to track the asteroid's path right to the point of its monumental puss-out. After a brief pause Kowalski added, 'That's what I thought.' Many astronomers who have spent their careers monitoring asteroids have echoed Kowalski's conclusions. David L. Rabinowitz of the NASA-funded Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking program claimed that, despite the overwhelming data to the contrary, no one in the astronomy community had any doubt that the asteroid was talking out of its ass. 'Everybody knew that asteroid was a poseur,' Rabinowitz said. 'If it didn't have the balls to come within 100,000 miles of Pluto 15 years ago, how's it even gonna consider messing with Earth? What, did it think it was going to be another 1908 Tunguska Event? Don't make me laugh.' Rabinowitz also estimated that even if the asteroid had managed to remove its giant tampon and hit Earth, it most likely would have landed harmlessly in the ocean or the Sahara Desert. 'This asteroid's an even bigger pussy than 6489 Golevka, if you can believe that,' he said. Though astronomers across the world agreed that the asteroid probably still sucks on its mama's titties, a number of scientists have come out with different theories as to why it tore ass out of the solar system at 47,000 miles per hour. 'Have you seen Earth? It would have housed that asteroid so bad,' University of Chicago astronomer Lucas Donovan said. 'If it even tried making impact, you would have heard exactly two sounds: us hitting the asteroid and the asteroid hitting space. Little piece of shit got off lucky, if you ask me.' Plans to launch a probe to measure the composition of the asteroid were scrapped after NASA scientists concluded it was made up of 0.5 percent basaltic crust, 0.5 percent carbonaceous chondrite, and 99 percent bullshit. 'Goddamn chicken-shit planetoid ain't even worth it,' acting NASA administrator Christopher Scolese said. There is currently no strategy in place to prepare for a possible return of the asteroid, as NASA physicists have theorized it will likely throw itself into the sun from the utter shame of being such a weak-ass little bitch. 
1	With still no indication that her 30-year-old son Bryan has any interest in entering a romantic relationship or starting a family, area mother Kathleen Williamson told reporters this week that she is starting to fear his web series is the closest thing she will ever have to a grandchild. At this point, hes made about 40 episodes and doesnt do much else, so unless something changes, I think this is all Im going to get, the 62-year-old said while browsing the website for Two Weeks Notice, a comedy web series about a group of perpetually unemployed roommates in Brooklyn that her only child has written, directed, and starred in for the past five years. I suppose theres a chance he could meet someone and lose interest in making more of these, but this may very well be the only source of pride I get in my old age. Its nice that I can watch Bryans show whenever I want, though. At press time, sources confirmed that Williamson had visited the series fan page on Facebook and written My son is hysterical!! in the latest episodes comments section. 
1	Speaking to reporters as he ran a tattered extension cord along the House of Representatives rostrum this afternoon, Vice President Joe Biden confirmed that he had arrived early in order to set up a fog machine for tonights State of the Union address. This baby kicks out the fog like you wouldnt believe, but you gotta give her plenty of time to warm up if you want the whole room to fill up real thick, said Biden while carefully mixing water and glycerin according to his own homemade fog juice recipe, which he explained hed been using since his brief stint as a roadie on White Lions Pride tour in 1987. I wanted to do this thing up right with a whole laser rig and shit, but that wouldve set me back mucho dinero. But dont you worry; Uncle Joe knows a few tricks with strobes thatll get the crowd going. At press time, Biden was reportedly double-checking the timers on a set of flash pots in order to avoid another congressional aide losing their fingers in a pyrotechnic mishap.

2	BREAKING: Identity Of HIllarys Secret Lover Finally Leaks... Heres Who It Is According to reports from the National Enquirer, Hillary Clinton is frantically trying to recover her reputation after a list of her lesbian lovers was leaked to the press earlier this week. Reports indicate that the names came from some of the deleted emails that Clinton has been trying to hide for the past few months. I dont think shes so concerned about emails referring to her as secretly gay, one source commented. Thats been out for yearsher real fear is that the names of some of her lovers would be made public! The names are yet to be leaked, but the list reportedly includes an early-thirties woman who has been known to travel with the presidential hopeful. The list also includes an international supermodel. Thats clearly why she went to the extraordinary step of deleting everything, another source commented. There are reportedly some suspicious exchanges between Hillary and Huma Abedin, wife of Anthony Weiner, as well. What do you think? Will these names wreck Clintons campaign? 
2	Andrea Tantaros Mysteriously Disappears... Heres What Really Happened Twitter has been buzzing this week about the mysterious absence of Andrea Tantaros on Fox News. Tantaros was last seen on Outnumbered on Monday, but she has been absent since. The network has only vaguely hinted at why. Issues have arisen regarding Andreas contract, and Fox News Channel has determined it best that she take some time off, Fox News said in a statement, likely in response to the numerous questions they received. Tantaros book, Tied Up in Knots: How Getting What We Wanted Made Women Miserable, has just been published. The timing has many Twitter theorists speculating. Andrea Tantaros has been missing from #FoxNews. Many have speculated @DanaPerino and @KarlRove are pressuring Fox not to renew her contract, Josh Cornett tweeted. Though Tantaros has not responded to tweets about her absence, she did recently talk to the Washington Times about her book. Everyone always hears about the benefits of feminism, but nobody talks honestly about the downsides, Tantaros claimed. If women are more empowered than ever, why are they more unhappy than ever? The book looks at the lies women were sold by the feminist movement: that we dont need menbut that we should emulate them in our professional and personal livesand the havoc this groupthink has wreaked upon the genders ultimately destroying respect, discretion, monogamy, decency and intimacy. What do you think of Tantaros disappearance? 
1	The constant chatter of vascular dementiaafflicted Sophia Chandler, 88, has become a 'broken novelty record' to the family members who care for her, Chandler's daughter Jane LeNoir said Tuesday. 'All day long, it's 'I'm cold,' or 'Where's my husband? Is he dead?' or 'Janie, the airplanes are stopping over our house and the people are looking down my blouse' in the same scratchy tone,' LeNoir, 59, said. 'Then, a few minutes later, it starts again. Although sometimes she totally flips and starts in on 'Eight-Eyed Emily' or 'King Of The Dung Beetles.'' LeNoir said the condition is expected to get worse when Chandler's recently diagnosed Parkinson's disease really kicks in and her voice begins skipping unpredictably. 
2	Liberal Jury Lets Thug Off, So This NoRecently, Judge Amy Salemo caused quite the controversy when she told the jury that they were wrong not to convict a violent thug. After acquitting the criminal from the charges of beating his wife, Salemo turned her attention to the jury. The judge came off the bench, and she indicated she thought they had gotten the verdict wrong, claims fellow Judge Green. They were further told, 99 percent of the time, the jury gets it right. Its now 98 percent. They brought that percentage down by getting it wrong. Judge Salemo allegedly concluded her statement by telling the jurors that she would get the thug next time. What do you think? Was the Judge out of line or do you support her concerns? Watch the report below and tell us your thoughts.

2	BREAKING: Obama Makes Stunning Announcement About Clinton Investigation With less than two weeks until the presidential election, the FBI made the shocking announcement that they would be reopening the investigation into Hillary Clintons illegal use of a personal email server during her time as Secretary of State. Now, it appears the FBI may be letting Hillary off the hook AGAIN. This is a decision that was foreshadowed by President Barack Obama, who made statements indicating he may preemptively pardon Clinton just before Election Day. Many Americans have already drawn similarities between Obamas decision and that of President Gerald Ford to pardon President Richard Nixon. President Obama has the power to pardon Clinton on the simple prospect she could be charged with a crime or handed an indictment by the FBI, Katie Pavlich wrote for Townhall. Because the FBI announced in July that they were not going to indict Clinton, there was no need for a pardon to be on the table. That has since changed. As my colleague, Ed Morrissey points out, President Gerald Ford pardoned President Richard Nixon after he resigned from the Oval Office and before he was ever officially charged with a crime, she continued. At the time of the pardon, nearly everyone knew and admitted Nixon was guilty. Ford was criticized for clearing him. What do you think? Are you tired of the corruption in Obamas White House? This is unacceptable. 
1	If not for the faint glimmer of hope offered by a dinner date Thursday, sources confirmed that unemployed 24-year-old Justin Glick would have absolutely nothing to prevent him from sinking fully into the profound abyss of disrepair that is his daily life. Justin Glick has made a concerted effort to cut down on his daily peanut-butter-on-a-spoon intake. With the prospect of human interaction with a member of the opposite sex looming, Glick has for the first time in two years made an attempt to look somewhat presentable. This has forced Glick to attend to his personal hygiene, leave the confines of his apartment during the daytime hours on multiple occasions, shower regularly, and generally disrupt his otherwise smooth free fall into total dereliction. Sources say that had Glick not been set up on a blind date with friend-of-a-friend Emily Moffet, 25, he would currently be unshaven, shirtless, and lying prostrate in his bed alongside a week-old pile of discarded chicken bones watching a Married With Children marathon on FX. 'Justin's pretty excited for this date,' said friend and roommate Jeff Hughes, 25, who witnessed Glick shaving off his beard with an electric razor over the bathroom sink Monday afternoon instead of trimming it with a pair of rusted kitchen scissors over the breakfast table, as he would have done if not faced with the possibility of talking to a human female. 'I hope it goes well for him.' Since scheduling the date, Glick has been able to temporarily delay the process of slowly atrophying into a pale shadow of a man. In the past two days, he has made astonishing progress in temporarily mitigating the various personal failures that once threatened to swallow him wholeshortcomings that included the studious evasion of his mirror image, an utter lack of self-reflection or discernible inner life, paralyzing self-loathing, an absence of physical activity beyond coughing fits and running out to get more cigarettes, and unexplained bouts of crying during American Express commercials. 'It's all about making a good first impression,' said Glick, wetting a comb with actual water rather than licking his right hand and running his saliva-coated fingers through his hair as per his normal, non-date-related grooming routine. Glick went on to insert a toothbrush into his mouth for the first time since mid-July. 'This girl better be hot,' added Glick, whowithout the possibility of that statement proving truewould right now be biting his own overgrown toenails and stubbing out his cigarettes on his bedpost in lieu of getting up from the prone position and walking four steps to reach the ashtray. In addition, had Glick not been informed Monday by his friend that Moffet is 'totally [his] type,' he would at this very moment be using a pile of unlaundered boxer shorts as a pillow while lying naked on his couch and consuming s'mores-flavored Pop-Tarts directly out of the foil wrapping for lunch. Instead, Glick is currently sitting on his couch in an upright position and is eating the Pop-Tarts over an old magazine in a relatively fastidious effort to prevent the crumbs from falling into his pubic hairs. The upcoming night out has not only forced Glick to pull himself out of the depths of sloth and indolence, but has kept him from allowing his living quarters to devolve into a filthy pit of vermin-infested squalor. 'You never know what could happen if she comes back to my place,' said Glick, whose room was noticeably free of the mound of dirty clothes stacked on his desk chair, the six packets of unopened Top Ramen scattered on the floor beside his bed, and the visible bubble of hardened Chick-fil-A sauce on his now-discarded throw rug that would normally be present without the real, albeit slim, chance of sexual intercourse with a woman. This recent five-day stretch of self-improvement is the longest Glick has maintained a faint semblance of a healthy human existence since February 2006, when he briefly staved off a spiral into complete physical and spiritual abandon in order to apply and interview for a job as a video-game tester. As of press time, Glick had yet to find out that his date was actually scheduled for two Thursdays ago. 
2	What Obama Did During Minute Of Silence For Paris Victims Will Make You Sick... He Is... [VIDEO] This week, world leaders gathered at the G20 conference in Turkey to honor Paris dead. Of course, Obama showed just how much the tragedy means to him by showing up late. The empty seat was first discovered in a video posted to Youtube. The chair beside Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reserved for Obama is noticeable empty when he calls for a moment of silence for the victim. If Obama thinks this doesnt reflect poorly on our entire country, he needs to think again. The seat is clearly labeled United States. And those present took notice as well. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is shown in the footage looking over her shoulder. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think? Is this extraordinarily embarrassing for our country? Do we need Obama out of the White House immediately? 
2	Delta Force Operator, And Friend Of Chris Kyle Goes Beast Mode On Michael Moore Dale Comstock, a Delta Force Operator, once appeared on the show Stars Earn Stripes with his friend Chris Kyle, author of American Sniper. Recently, Comstock made the decision to speak out against Michael Moore, who issues some controversial statements about snipers on his social media profile. Read Comstocks heartfelt response below and tell us what you think. Unless youve been in combat youve got no opinion on how combat works. Whats the premise of his argument? Does that mean that people who shoot artillery weapons, fly fighter jets and close attack helicopters are cowards because theyre not right in your face? Its called smart warfare. Id rather shoot someone from afar. I dont look at my adversary as someone I hold a personal grudge with. I look at him as the opposing team and Im here to win. Hes a soldier and Im a soldier. When you go into combat to fight, you expect certain things. Ive actually made friends with several of my adversaries. One of who, at one time, I was pointing weapons at from twenty five meters away. Also, one of my best friends used to be in East German special forces. We were enemies at one time. Today, were good friends and business associates. A sniper is far from a coward. They are skilled marksmen who use psychological warfare to scare the enemy. They make you keep your head down. They keep you paralyzed. And they will kill you because thats their objective. And for Michael Moore to call a sniper a cowardclaiming he supports the military by hiring veterans and Special Forces guys. He says theyre his bodyguards. How hypocritical! I dont even know a soldier who fights the enemy in a combat role that has had anything positive to say about Moore. 
3	On a Budget? Pink Slime is Back to Save You Money!Daisy Luther It was so bad that one company, Beef Products Inc., was forced to close several plants and file for bankruptcy after the backlash in 2012. Incidentally, BPI filed a 1.2 billion dollar lawsuit is pending against ABC for breaking the story that more than 70% of grocery store ground beef contained pink slime. Well, in response to rising meat costs, its back. (Did it ever actually leave?) BPI will be manufacturing the slaughterhouse remnant product at a new plant in Kansas, and Cargill Inc. is also producing the slime. Of course, neither company is marketing the product under the name pink slime. BPI calls it lean finely textured beef (LFTB) and Cargill calls it finely textured beef. That makes it sound almost fancy, doesnt it? The purpose of this is to continue to charge customers the same price, but to stretch the meat with the LFTB in order to lower costs for the company selling the meat. The only problem is, you are consuming byproducts that you would never ordinarily consume, and those byproducts are treated with multiple chemicals. None of this information is included on your label. In fact, according to the USDA, labels can proudly proclaim 95% Lean Ground Beef when this product is included, and people mistakenly believe they are purchasing a high quality meat. (Keep in mind this is the same USDA with an inspector who allowed a slaughterhouse to sell meat from cows with cancer, while falsely condemning healthy beef and ripping off the farmers to the benefit of the slaughterhouse.) Sales of Finely Textured Beef Are Up An exec from Cargill said that their sales of finely textured beef recently have risen about threefold from their lowest point. The USDA (and you know how trustworthy they are) says that LFTB is really not that bad. In fact, its so innocuous that it doesnt even have to be included on the label. Sois FTB really that bad? Not according to Cargill: A Cargill representative told Yahoo that the companys finely textured beef, available since 1993, is 100% pure beef and is usually added to ground beef to increase the percentage of muscle protein to fat. The company describes the process of making this product as similar to separating milk from cream, those small pieces of beef are separated from the fat. The fat that has been separated is turned into tallow [a form of rendered fat]. It is not added back to the ground beef. (source) Except, of course, when I separate milk from cream, I dont treat the milk with ammonium hydroxide gas. Nor do I include rejected fat, sinew, and bloody effluvia from a slaughterhouse. Dont worry. It wont kill you with e coli, because its treated for your safetywith ammonium hydroxide gas and citric acid. (Dont forget that citric acid is actually derived from genetically modified black mold!) And if you are silly enough to worry about eating ammonia and black mold, another trustworthy federal agency, the FDA, has your back there too. How can you avoid pink slime? If you, for some strange reason, would like to omitrejected fat, sinew, and bloody effluvia from your familys diet, here are a few tips: How do you avoid eating meat byproducts?

3	The Economic Illusion Laid BareDan and Sheila Gendron, Contributors Thats why its called a Note its a loan. Every dollar in circulation since 1913 is a loan. On top of the principle, the Fed requires a payment of interest for this service they provide. The purchasers of the T-bills also collect an interest payment as motivation to loan us money. Who is ultimately responsible for the loans and interest for every penny used in the United States? YOU ARE. No matter what they do with the money, no matter in whose pocket it winds up, YOU GET THE BILL. And dont think the bill is paid by Income Taxes that only pays a fraction of the interest due! Why do you get the bill? Because each and every T-Bill is sold with the full faith and credit of the American people. Thats you, and everything you own. Its not the U.S. Government (a private corporation), but the people who live within its borders. The government gets to order and spend the money any way they see fit (after all, you have given them permission to do so) but is not responsible to pay the debt you are. When the amount of money in circulation (which is supposed to be equivalent to a countrys actual worth not its credit rating) is greater than all its assets, it is no longer real. Factor in inflation all you want, the whole system is imaginary! The whole system exists only by your voluntary acquiescence, your belief in the value of the piece of paper (or, rather, plastic) and the numbers it represents. This is how it controls you. Each penny that is added to your debt tightens the noose of control just a little bit more if you believe it. You are being enslaved bit by bit, until the time comes that they will no longer need your acquiescence, because they will have obtained all the marbles. QE Infinity gives the Fed $43 Billion each month, to do with as it pleases, with no oversight (as we have seen in the past). Under the guise of rescuing banks who have written bad mortgages, it is using that money to buy up all mortgages in America (good and bad mortgages are bundled together when they are sold to the Fed). That means the Fed will own most of the residential and commercial land in this country. Your deeds are being shuffled around like so many Monopoly game properties. Why are they buying all these mortgages? Because its time to foreclose on America to clear our debt owed to the Fed and to our creditors from other countries. Just like the Wicked Witch of the West, we are being liquidated. Dont let the distractions, the fear, or the incalculable, meaningless numbers stop you from preparing for your future and your familys. Even an extra bag of beans or rice every trip to the store will get you ahead of it. Marc Faber, Jim Rogers and other well-known pundits are expecting hyperinflation by spring. What will you do if you have to go to your local superstore for your food allotment, which you can only have if you take your inoculations? Right now there are millions protesting throughout Europe because their governments can no longer provide the services they always did food subsidies, housing subsidies, pensions, etc. The euphemism is Austerity and its coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

3	The Elephant in the Room: Silk Road and the War on DrugsPoly Paradyme The larger conversation regarding the War on Drugs has been ignored on the whole and the trial has surrounded Did Ross sell drugs? instead of Do we care Ross sold drugs?. The war on Drugs after almost a century has only wrecked lives, empowered the police state, and funneled money into a prison industrial complex. This is already common knowledge to many, so why is it missing from the media context of Silk Roads trial? America is not ready to end the war on drugs. America still has communities with morals and ethics stemming from the 1950s. The baby boomer generation was force fed stories of crazed men on LSD and violent drug dealing cartel killings through media and school. While both of these things do happen from time to time, their perceived frequency is increased with media. The boomers and their voting aged offspring are the unknowing force that screams, think of the children and not in my backyard. Legalizing drugs is seen as condoning the behavior of using drugs and, sends the wrong message to young people. Well guess what? Young people have unprecedented access to drugs and drug-related knowledge. Cities and towns are struggling to find budgets to combat the War on Drugs and pay to imprison their citizens. Imprisoning citizens is neither helpful nor cost effective from a prevention standpoint. Most whom have been paying attention to the drug war dialogue already know this. Harm reduction is starting to play a massive part of this, and the example I like to tout is the Shambhala Music Festival. This is the only music festival in the world that provides on-site drug testing from the festival themselves. They do community outreach, they go buy drugs to test them and show to others if they need to be avoided; but most importantly they allow people to know if they are getting the harmless drugs they want, give them dosage guidelines, and prevent overdoses. This can also help find random chemicals that are sold as recreational drugs. Some people do this for profit and it is a symptom of the unregulated marketplace created by prohibition. Follow the money they say. Well heres a solid example The War on Drugs and drug-related seizures are a massive cash cow for the people running police departments, prison funds and state coffers. We burn the heroin we find, but what do you think happens to that cash they found? They sell anything they can, including Bitcoins to get funds. While it may be an educated assumption from this writer, its not a stretch to assume that there are money forces behind the drug war making it last longer. Did we forget that the CIA used to import cocaine? Im going to give you some search terms to educate yourself on this lengthy subject, but here are a few: Danilo Blandon, Iran-Contra, Gary Webb, Dark Alliance, Freeway Ricky Ross. The summary of this is we sold cocaine to fund the Iran-Contra affair some time ago. Its the biggest open secret in Washington D.C. Cocaine and drugs in general remain as a potential way to fund operations for black ops.It seems as recently as 2012 they are still doing it. Ross is going to jail having been found guilty, while the cartels that violently murder people, cut drugs with adulterants, and extort funds from locals will remain free. The only way to end the cartels is to end their money supply. Legalize drugs of all kinds, regulate them, and tax the living hell out of them. Criminalizing drugs has not solved the problem, and fifty years of data shows that. Taxing drugs can pay for addiction support, public housing and rehab for users. Production of drugs can provide endless jobs for the United States and someone will be needed to market and distribute them all. Not to mention design the supply lines, get them to stores, and regulate the dispensing of this drugs. Putting people like Ross Ulbricht in jail has not solved the problem. There are still dozens of dark net markets who will likely never be shut down permanently. Operations security has evolved to embrace a hydra structure (see: Pirate Bay). As long as encryption and privacy methods remain intact and the Internet stays up, the dark net markets will continue to prosper. No one should tell their kids to do drugs, but if we think this joke of a paradigm is still working you havent been paying attention to the bigger picture. Do you want your children safer? Do you want to get rid of those homeless bums with substance abuse problems wandering the streets? Disband the cartels and cut their funding? Then end the War on Drugs so we can begin taxing the drugs and putting them through the proper ropes. We need to start treating our own citizens as adults instead of adhering to a nanny state. If the War on Drugs was over, Ross would not be in jail. The United States Government created the set of circumstances for Silk Road to prosper. They continue to allow the dark nets to prosper because no one wants to stop the flow of money from the drug war. Through education and realization of our current dire situation we can make progress. The government so far has only very slightly begun reversing its policy on cannabis. Just this week it legal sales in DC were worked into the budget. Ross doesnt deserve to be in jail for selling drugs. He was filling a void of service and created an entire new industry. The reality is he is a passionate visionary with a horrible sense of operations security. End the nonsense. End the War on Drugs. This article first appeared on Poly Paradymes Medium.

3	New Chemical Weapons Attack In Syria Another False Flag?Brandon Turbeville A nurse at Douma Emergency Collection facility, Bayan Baker, said the death toll, as collated from medical centers in the suburbs east of Damascus, was 213. Many of the casualties are women and children. They arrived with their pupil dilated, cold limbs and foam in their mouths. The doctors say these are typical symptoms of nerve gas victims, the nurse said. Extensive amateur video and photographs purporting to show victims appeared on the Internet. A video purportedly shot in the Kafr Batna neighborhood showed a room filled with more than 90 bodies, many of them children and a few women and elderly men. Most of the bodies appeared ashen or pale but with no visible injuries. About a dozen were wrapped in blankets. Other footage showed doctors treating people in makeshift clinics. One video showed the bodies of a dozen people lying on the floor of a clinic, with no visible wounds. The narrator in the video said they were all members of a single family. In a corridor outside lay another five bodies. A photograph taken by activists in Douma showed the bodies of at least 16 children and three adults, one wearing combat fatigues, laid at the floor of a room in a medical facility where bodies were collected.[1] Logically, it would make little sense for the Syrian government to employ chemical agents at such a time, particularly given the relatively close proximity of the targeted towns (to the U.N. team). Nonetheless, the Ghouta region (where the attacks were reported) is well known for its opposition leanings. Jabhat al-Nusra has had a long-time presence there and the region has borne the brunt of sustained military pressure for months now. BBC security correspondent Frank Garnder also stated something similar, when he said, Firstly, the timing is odd, bordering on suspicious. Why would the Assad government, which has recently been retaking ground from the rebels, carry out a chemical attack while UN weapons inspectors are in the country? Notes: [1] Evans, Dominic; Oweis, Khaled Yacoub; selfnewss say more than 200 killed in gas attack near Damascus. Reuters.

Though-out his Career as a Piper, which did last until last Year, whence he found it too Difficult to remain Awake, Rush was oft tempted to allow his Wound to close, and to make it cease from weeping Bloode, and from suppuration, and from the issuance of strong Smells, and of Maggtry, and of Pus; but then would Rush remember his Duty as a Patriot and an American, and leave his Bandage upon his Head to up-Lift the Spirits of Every Man. An it happened, that Thurday last, did Rush go to his Reward, as no strong dose of Calomell nor of Alcohol could render him Awake. God save and keep him in Heavn, and keep his Wound fresh, and cause it to weep the crimson Tears of Liberty for time Everlasting, that it shew the Glorie of our Nation. Amen. 
2	Michelle Obama Picked A Fight With Donald Trump, Loses Big Time After Immediately Getting Hit With THIS This week, Michelle Obama was on the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton. During her speech in Manchester, New Hampshire, she made the disturbing decision to accuse Donald Trump of sexual assault. Last week we saw this candidate actually bragging about sexually assaulting women, the First Lady commented. And I have to tell you, I cant stop thinking about this. It has shaken me to my core in a way that I could not have predicted. Of course, Michelle was referring to the 2005 audio clip that resurfaced on the Friday before the second presidential debate. Apparently Michelle considers Trumps discussions about women in a sexual manner as sexual assault. So as much as Id like to pretend that this isnt happening and to come out here and do my normal campaign speech, it would be dishonest and disingenuous of me to just move on to the next thing like this was all just a bad dream, Michelle added. The First Lady certainly has a flair for the dramatic, but she is spreading a very dangerous rumor. What do you think? Are you excited for the Obamas to be out of the White House once and for all? 
1	University of Texas professor Thom Windham once again furthered the cause of human inquiry in a class lecture Monday, as he continued his longtime practice of finding connections between things and other things, pointing out these parallels, and then elaborating on them in detail, campus sources reported. 'By drawing parallels between things and other, entirely different things, I not only further my own studies, but also encourage young minds to develop this comparative methodology in their own work,' said Windham, holding his left hand up to represent one thing, then holding his right hand up to represent a separate thing, then bringing his hands together in simulation of a hypothetical synthesis of the two things. 'It's not just similarities that are important, thoughthe differences between things are also worth exploring at length.' Fifteen years ago, Windham was awarded tenure for doing this. 
3	Are Food Allergies Serious and Legal Issues?Catherine J. Frompovich Add to those statistics that more than 200,000 hospital emergency room visits a year result from food allergy reactions. [3] So, allergic reactions to food have now become a serious public health hazard statistically, one could say. However, the folks at Judicial Watch dont seem to think so! They contend that the U.S. Department of Justices action of strong arming Leslie University in Massachusetts to change its cafeteria menu and meal plans to accommodate students with gluten allergies is an outrageous move by the Departments bloated civil rights division. [4] Well, lets consider what some of the more common food allergic reactions can be: Foods that cause the most reactionsapproximately 90 percentinclude peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, milk/dairy, eggs, soy, shellfish, fishand any edible containing them as ingredients. The only known treatment for food allergies is total avoidance. So why would Judicial Watch think that the Dept. of Justices accusing the school of violating Title III of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) amounts to an overreach of interpreting the law? Well, Food allergies may constitute a disability under the ADA, according to the settlement between the college and the feds. Individuals with food allergies may have an autoimmune response to certain foods, the symptoms of which may include difficulty swallowing and breathing, asthma and anaphylaxis. [5] The DOJ claimed that Leslie University did not supply enough gluten-free food so students could eat gluten-free and/or enjoy eating with classmates. Allergy-free eating is a serious issue that should be leveled against all schools, colleges, and universities, since gluten intolerance is becoming pandemic, it would seem. Perhaps, culinary arts courses at every level of education and certification ought to have a semester steeped in preparing gluten-free foods and learning how to substitute high allergy ingredients in recipes as part of any professional chef training and certification curriculum. Concern is growing that a trend will be in the offing to make more gluten-free foods available in restaurants and other places that serve food. Thats not a bad idea, frankly. Also, I think it may be a blessing in disguise for getting the public, in general, to have a better and healthier selection of food to eat, especially in fast food restaurants. Supermarkets caught on and now have gluten-free sections. As per the DOJ Press Release on the matter, Under the settlement, Lesley University agrees to amend its policies and practices to: Continually provide ready-made hot and cold gluten- and allergen-free food options in its dining hall food lines; Develop individualized meal plans for students with food allergies, and allow those students to pre-order allergen free meals, that can be made available at the universitys dining halls in Cambridge and Boston; Provide a dedicated space in its main dining hall to store and prepare gluten-free and allergen-free foods and to avoid cross-contamination; Enable students to request food made without allergens, and ensure that a supply of allergen-free food is available; Work to retain vendors that accept students prepaid meal cards that offer food without allergens; Display notices concerning food allergies and identify foods containing specific allergens; Train food service and University staff about food allergy related issues; Pay $50,000 in compensatory damages to previously identified students who have celiac disease or other food allergies. [6] Moving along that continuum, how will the DOJ deal with those folks who suffer allergic reactions to genetically modified foods and foods made with them? I know of some folks who blow up to the size of a six-month pregnancy after eating GMO canola oil. That, alone, should be a prime reason for GMO food labeling, in my opinion. Attorneys ought to be looking at launching class action law suits based upon violating Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. If it works for gluten issues, it should work for GMO issues. Or, is that why Monsanto sought what was known as The Monsanto Protection Act that Senator Jon Tester of Montana is being lauded for ending a law that ordered the U.S. Department of Agriculture to ignore judicial bans on genetically modified crops.[7] A similar dispensation is what the vaccine makers got from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Congress, and Monsanto obviously coveted that legal protection status. Personally, I think the DOJs interpretation about food allergies is correct. If food allergies are considered a disability, then people suffering with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) need to be treated ethically by society, including the medical profession and the law. Anywhere between 12.6 and 33 percent of U.S. citizens in the 1990s [8] suffered with MCS. It is now 2013 and who knows what the percentage is. For those who need an understanding of what MCS is, please see this. This website provides super-important information regarding MCS housing issues. With all the chemicals humans are bombarded with daily, especially since infants now are mandated to be injected with toxins starting at birth (Hepatitis B vaccine), and then at 2, 4, and 6-month well-baby visits with additional numerous neurotoxic multi-valent vaccines and vaccinations, the human immune system is experiencing catastrophic meltdown. Those glitches are manifesting as chronic diseases and allergies because whats being impacted is the immune system triggering responses to a wider range of agents such as foods, just not certain diseases, and is placed in a constant immune response triggering state due to immunologic adjuvants in vaccines. To understand more about immunity, please read Wikipedias Immune System. More and more allergies will become evident, all while modern medicine continues with its petrochemical and neurotoxic paradigm of health and healing. Our bodies are telling them we cannot tolerate toxins. Our childrens health is getting worse with chronic diseases at earlier ages and infant death categories such as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, i.e., SIDS. The time has come to re-evaluate health, especially the healing paradigm that seems to be very flawed when it comes to injecting toxins/poisons into the body to prevent illnesses, especially in newborns, infants, and toddlers under the guise of prevention or prophylaxis.

1	NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon never tires of seeing his image on cheap, collectible junk, the four-time Winston Cup champion revealed Monday during a visit to the Hendrick Motorsports racing complex gift shop. Gordon, whose face is on mounds of rinky-dink crap in stores nationwide. 'Well, look at that!' Gordon said, grinning as he examined an illuminated license-plate frame bearing his likeness, signature, and yellow number 24. 'That there's a real nice piece of tackle. I'll bet you could put one of my collectible laser-cut license plates in there and display it in your house. That'd look good next to your Jeff Gordon Collectible Shot Glass or your set of diecast #24 cars. Get a second one for your car, to match your Jeff Gordon Floormats and Jeff Gordon DuPont Racing Keychain, and you'll be good to go.' 'Hey!' Gordon added, repeatedly pressing a button bearing a 'Try Me' sticker. 'I light up. Ain't that something else?' Gordon, who became the youngest Daytona 500 winner in 1997, has enjoyed a 10-year career at the highest level of American auto racing. The 32-year-old's multiple championships and 66 race victories have garnered him more than $60 million in winnings, and he earns millions of dollars in additional income each year through the sale of gewgaws like belt buckles, rings, knives, lunchboxes, dog collars, watches, bedding sets, and cigarette lighters with his face on them. 'The other day, I was at a Kmart and came across the Jeff Gordon Stained Glass Bar Lamp,' Gordon said. 'It was a lamp with me on it. Can you believe it? That gave me such a kick.' The Jeff Gordon Can Cozie, the Jeff Gordon #24 TrackSider Flip-Flops, and the Jeff Gordon Home Collection Wallpaper Border are just a few of the items that fans, and Gordon himself, can't get enough of. 'The other day, I even saw me-pajamas,' Gordon said. Gordon's manager, Forrest Logan, commented on the racecar driver's enthusiasm. 'There ain't too many things Jeff enjoys as much as racing,' Logan said. 'There's winning, of course. There are his fansthey're the best in the world. And then there's strolling through the aisles at Wal-Mart and seeing his face on everything from here to Sunday, like the Jeff Gordon 8-piece BBQ Set, the Jeff Gordon Edition Tire Valve Caps, and, for the ladies, the Jeff Gordon DuPont Racing #24 Clutch.' 'That's a little purse with Jeff on the side,' Logan added. Gordon's many commercial endorsementswith corporations ranging from Coke to Kellogg'sfurther increase the amount of tacky garbage bearing his face. Some of the Gordon shit one can buy at the online NASCAR Superstore. 'Yup, seems as though I can't buy a hoagie without some kid handing me a cup that's got me and my car on it,' Gordon said. 'I don't mind one bit, though. I love to sit back and sip on a Coke and look at that car. It's a great car, ain't it?' Gordon crew chief Robbie Loomis, who gets his Jeff Gordon useless garbage free, said he has grown accustomed to seeing pictures of Gordon on most of his possessions. 'I appreciate all of the duffel bags and whatnot,' Loomis said. 'And check out the big ol' mustache Jeff's got on my souvenir mug. I always liked that mustache on him. You know, I think he'd sell a lot more Jeff Gordon 18-Can Cooler Bags if he was sporting a mustache on them, too. I tell you.' Exiting the store and heading back to the pit, Gordon seemed determined not to let his success, his fame, or the fact that millions of tacky so-called collectibles bear his image go to his head. 'Fans of stockcar racing are a real down-home group,' Gordon said, adjusting his Official Father's Day Edition Jeff Gordon/Hendrick Motorsports Pit Crew Hat. 'They wouldn't forgive me if I got a big head. Once in a while, I can authorize a Jeff Gordon Ranger 519DX Bass Boat, or put together a Jeff Gordon-Escort Travel Luxury Tour Of The Holy Land. But they'll think I'm getting too big for my britches if I don't mainly stick to affordable stuff like the Jeff Gordon Teddy Bear In Racing Suit and the Jeff Gordon Candle Set.' 'People never seem to get tired of seeing my name and number on stuff,' Gordon said, absent-mindedly cleaning his Jeff Gordon Foster Grant Sunglasses on the sleeve of his Jeff Gordon Cotton-Twill Team Jacket. 'And you know what? Neither do I.' 
2	Barron Trump Releases Unprecedented Announcement, Make English The OFFICIAL... According to reports from World News Politics, 10-year-old Barron Trump has an important message for America: our schools should be English only. The plea is in response to the fact that only 30 states in American recognize English as their official language, while the remaining 20 do not have an official language. Only a handful of states currently mandate that English only be used in classrooms. On a Barron Trump Facebook account, he shared a message about fixing our school system. For the sake of the futures of all children living our country, learning English should most definitely be a requirement. Not requiring that the language is spoken ends up harming, not helping, these children. Of courses, the Democratic party does not mind if these people stay dependent on their assistancebut its important to understand that immigrants who support Democrats stand the most to gain from Republican policies. Watch the Barron Trump video below and tell us what you think.

2	Mississippi Bans Courts Use Of Sharia/International Law In 2015, we saw 32 pieces of legislation introduced in 17 states to ban or limit the use of foreign or international law in state courts. Perhaps one of the biggest successes was for Mississippi, who has been trying for more than five years to enact a ban. HB 177 provides that a court, arbitrator, administrative agency or other adjudicative, mediation or enforcement authority shall not enforce a foreign law if doing so would violate a right guaranteed to a natural person by the United States Constitution or the Mississippi Constitution of 1890. A pattern in many of these bills is the focus on specifically banning the use of sharia law by state courts. The specific targeting of sharia was held as unconstitutional in a decision by the Tenth Circuit in 2012, striking down an amendment approved by Oklahoma voters in 2010. The enactment of HB 177 was signed by the Governor and became law in March of last year. Many other bills and proposals have died in the legislative process, so this is a huge success. What do you think? Do you support Mississippi? 
2	FOX Host Geraldo Rivera And Trump Advisor Get In Major Twitter Beef Drama continues to ensue regarding potential presidential candidate Donald Trump. This time, the drama includes notorious pot stirrer Geraldo Rivera, a liberal FOX News contributor, and Roger Stone, a Trump advisor. It started after Stone, a former Nixon operative and relentless provacatuer, calledAna Navarro and Roland Martin quota hires by CNN,implying that the Hispanic commentator and black pundit owed their positions toaffirmative action. Rivera weighed in, and from there it got messy. @ananavarro @rolandmartin have twice the intellect and integrity of @RogerStone. @realDonaldTrump doesnt need thugs like him, Riveratweeted Wednesday. Stone shot back: @GeraldoRivera is an embarrassing hack fired by FOX for his lack of ratings. Ailes kept him around long past any value. #Pathetic. Rivera then delivered the coup de grace: When I see you around Fox News Im going to kick your racist asspunk. Stone continued to fire off at Rivera, at one point hinting at a scandalous backstory to aninfamous topless selfie that Rivera tweeted last year. -IBTimes.com 
1	According to a new report published Wednesday by the Pew Research Center, you live in a deeply embarrassing and barely functional country. Our latest research and statistical analysis shows that you are currently the citizen of an objectively humiliating nation wreathed in a miasma of pettiness, sloth, rank stupidity, and failure, the report read in part, adding that thisthis goddamned disgrace of a culture and system of government, if thats what you call whatever the hell this isis where you live, where you are from, and where you will likely die. Decline and dysfunction are currently the first things people across the world think of when they hear the name of your place of origin, and, by association, these are the first words that would come to mind when they think of you as well. The report concluded that there isnt a whole hell of a lot you can do about it either. 
1	His pace steadily quickening as he rounded the corner out of his kitchen and made a beeline for the front door, local man Henry Parnasse reportedly found himself locked in a race against time Wednesday morning to take out a trash bag with a widening hole in its side. Oh, crap, I gotta go for itthe rips getting bigger and Im way too far to turn back now, Parnasse reportedly thought to himself, gingerly holding the plastic bag at arms length to avoid the stream of unidentifiable liquid dripping from the lengthening tear dangerously close to his shoes. God, I knew it was a big mistake yanking the bag from the garbage can like that. I shouldve just brought the whole can out with it. Dammit. If the coffee grounds reach that hole, Im really fucked. At press time, a frantic, briskly striding Parnasse was forced to turn his attention away from the growing hole as the weight of the trash bag began stretching the drawstring he was holding to the point of imminent failure. 
2	Trump Reveals The First Thing He Will Do If He Is Elected President You Will Love This According to recent reports, Trump has taken a strong lead over the GOP candidates, coming in with 24.9% of the vote. Following the announcement of the statistics, Trump came forward to tell the public that the first thing he will do as president is increase the military strength in the United States and abolish President Obamas Affordable Care Act. Our country is a mess and theres so many things that we could do, Trump claimed on an interview with Fox Friends. I want to build up the military so nobody messes with us. I would bring military levels back to where it was at the height because were in such trouble. And I would absolutely repeal and replace Obamacare, he continued, claiming that his administration would be comprised of business people, not political people. What do you think? Is Trump a man of action? Does he have what it takes to be a leader? 
3	Another Nation to Decriminalize Drugs, Including Heroin and CocaineBy Carey Wedler I am firmly of the view that there needs to be a cultural shift in how we regard substance misuse if we are to break this cycle and make a serious attempt to tackle drug and alcohol addiction, Rordin said during a speech at the London School of Economics on Monday. He stressed the need for compassion and argued that drug addiction should be removed from the criminal justice system altogether. Rordin said that as part of this new approach, Ireland will establish injection centers early next year. Expressing a desire to combat the stigma surrounding drug addiction and stressing that the centers would not be a free for all Rordin explained the reasoning behind allowing drug users to inject under supervision: These are clinically controlled environments which aim to engage hard-to-reach populations, he said. Research has shown that the use of supervised injecting centres is associated with self-reported reductions in injecting risk behaviors. The Minister expressed hope that opening facilities like these will help reduce the shame associated with addiction, which often disrupts the capacity of families and individuals to seek help. Rordin said a new version of the Misuse of Drugs Bill will remove legislative obstacles to opening such centers. The facilities will be regulated by the government, and the first one will open in Dublin, the nations capital. The minister said that once that location is appraised, others will also launch. He explained the centers methods will vary because every city is different, every drug-using population is different, so different locations will have different needs. Rordin also said he would outline plans to decriminalize all drugs including heroin, cocaine, and cannabis for personal use, but said he would leave the implementation of that plan to the next administration. He has been clear about his stance on the drug war since he took office in April of this year. At that time, he expressed immediate concern over the prohibition of marijuana and called to decriminalize it. Still, he acknowledged the need for conversation.We need to have a proper discussion before we set off alarm bells in peoples heads, he said. Six months later, his Monday announcement is facilitating that discussion. Other nations around the world have decriminalized drugs with great success. Portugal did so over a decade ago and saw reduced rates of crime and addiction. Though decriminalization in the United States is a long ways away, American police have begun offering treatment to heroin addicts rather than arresting them. Officers around the country are reporting great success. Further, last year, Uruguay fully legalized marijuana, and many other countries already allow the use of the plant in varying capacities. As Rordin said of Ireland, there is strong consensus that drugs across the board should be decriminalized. This fundamental, evolving attitude toward the way drug addicts should be treated underlies increasing global calls for decriminalization. A recent U.N. report suggested decriminalization as a humanitarian strategy to help treat addiction, though controversy surrounded the paper and the U.N. stressed the suggestion did not constitute official policy. Nevertheless, the fact that the organization published a report echoing those sentiments is evidence enough that the conversation is changing. Rordin explained: This will be a wider discussion under the next government but once people get their head around the argument, about what decriminalization actually means, that policy wont be about the drug but about the individual. Then regardless of the drug the individual needs an intervention and society will be saying, the substance is illegal, but you are not a criminal for taking it.

1	Citing his ability to score over 100 points when he is 'not even trying all that hard,' Bernie Grout, 34, announced yesterday his dream of becoming a professional bowler when he grows up. 'Ever since I was 27 and I got my first turkey, I fantasized about eventually pursuing this as a career,' said Grout, adding that his love of bowling started when he and his father used to go to the OK Alley to 'throw the ol' [bowling] ball around' when he was 26. 'Just imagine what I could do if I had my own ball and one of those gloves.' Grout plans on patiently working hard over the course of the next decade to lose some muscle mass, grow a solid moustache, and give up on all of his other dreams, so he can one day 'compete on the professional level.' 
3	Big Pharma Caught Manipulating Antidepressant Drug Trials Putting Teenagers in Grave DangerBy Kristen Anderson Big Pharma has so much influence in the field of scientific research, that the professionals who depend on peer-reviewed studies, i.e. doctors, psychiatrists, nurses, etc., prefer to read meta-analyses as a way to ensure objectivity. These meta-analyses combine evidence from multiple studies to weed out studies that produced irregular or uncommon results. In this way, the meta-analysis is regarded as the purest form of research and is heavily relied on by medical professionals. But, again, if Big Pharma has essentially infiltrated the research industry to the point that the majority of studies are being skewed, even a meta-analysis is unreliable. Take for example Study 329. GlaxoSmithKline funded Study 329 between 1994 and 1998 and the results showed that Paxil was safe for teenagers. This study was published in 2001 in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP), a well-respected and peer-reviewed journal. It was later found, however, that the authors had downplayed the negative findings and that GlaxoSmithKline had actually hired a PR firm to ghost write the article! Paxil actually clearly increases suicidal thoughts and impulses among teenagers and this effect was downplayed in the article and not even addressed in the conclusion (the most-read section of a scientific study). A recent study which examined 185 meta-analyses discovered that one third of the studies were written by Pharma industry employees. While it was known that Big Pharma funded individual studies, it was NOT known the extent to which they funded meta-analyses; which have been the core of evidence-based medicine all along. While a third of the meta-analyses were directly funded and written by Big Pharma, another 60% were written by university-affiliated researchers with conflicts of interest; many of which were not reported as required. The consequences of this type of independent research are far reaching and in some cases fatal. Underreporting the suicide risk associated with Paxil use among teens has cost hundreds, if not thousands of lives. Studies written by industry employees were 22 times less likely to report negative statements about the drugs. Studies sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry reported favorable outcomes 78% of the time compared to 48% in independently funded trials. Independent researchers have even reported that the journals themselves have ties to Big Pharma and are reluctant to even publish studies with negative outcomes. Depression is a global and growing problem and in many countries it is the leading cause of disability. Antidepressants raked in $9.4 billion in the US alone in 2013. While antidepressants have become the go-to treatment for depression, there are many other options including talk therapy, improving nutrition and exercise routines, and mindfulness practices. These practices are more effective because they get to the root cause of the depression and produce long-lasting results. It will be interesting to see what changes are made, if any, by medical professionals and university researchers now that it is known that Big Pharma not only has its dirty hands in individual studies, but also the gold standard of research: the meta-analysis. One thing is for sure, even well-meaning doctors cant be trusted now that we know that the studies they depend on are tainted, falsified, and paid for 93% of the time. Sources: Kristen Anderson writes for activistpost.com and droppingkeys.net. Oh, this figures. People get off the pharma drugs and switch to natural medicine. Our Big Pharma is helping to kill the American people along with their vaccines that they want to stick us with. More chemicals that will do more harm then good. Trust me.

1	Citing the extremely low level of entropy present before a normal set of football downs, scientists from the NFL's quantum mechanics and cosmology laboratories spoke Monday of a theoretical proto-down before the first. 'Ultimately, we believe there are an infinite number of proto-downs played before the first visible snap,' lead NFL scientist Dr. Oliver Claussen said during a press conference, adding that the very last yocto-down is a by-product of leftover fourth downs from this universe, as well as those from a theoretical universe running along an arrow of time concurrent to our own. 'It is our goal to isolate this microscopic down using a highly volatile electron beam with a physical isolation resolution of 500 angstroms or better. If all goes well, we can make this down available, and NFL teams will have one more chance to attain additional yards, a new set of downs, or even score.' Claussen later stated that those in the field who talk of a fifth down after the fourth are only encouraging the practice of bad science. 
1	American Trans Air Flight 282 from Chicago-Midway to Newark took a turn for the tedious Monday, when undercover air marshal Kirk Gillam was drawn into a conversation about passenger Terrence Delsman's patio for the majority of the two-hour flight. Gillam (right) finds out why pine planks aren't a good idea. 'Most people just take whatever tiling option their contractor gives them,' Delsman told Gillam. 'But I did research online and opted for terracotta. I couldn't be happier.' Gillam is one of an estimated 4,000 marshals placed in the cabins of U.S. commercial airlines by Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge in an effort to tighten aviation security. Gillam, a former Navy SEAL, trained for 12 weeks last year in tactical terrorist suppression aboard an aircraft. Delsman, who was traveling to Newark on business, single-handedly spruced up his backyard in July. The flight-long discussion about patios was prompted by an umbrella advertisement in a SkyMall catalog sitting open on Gillam's lap. 'That's close to what I have in my yard,' Delsman said. 'But mine was a lot cheaper. A lot cheaper. I know this great place in Elmhurst that sells top-brand stuff. You should check it out if you're ever doing some remodeling.' Delsman also told Gillam about the difficulties he had getting his patio furniture delivered, the quality of his outdoor barbecue set, and the benefits of citronella candles over tiki lamps. 'The lamps just don't work as well as the candles,' said Delsman, unaware of the 9mm automatic hidden inside Gillam's coat pocket. 'The candles smell better, too.' 'Uh huh,' Gillam said. 'Those come in the metal buckets, right?' Gillam, who knows 18 different ways to disarm a knife-wielding adversary, nodded rhythmically as Delsman related the simple pleasure of lounging in his newly finished patio. 'Sure, it was hard work, but it was worth it,' Delsman said. 'Sitting out there in the summer with a drink in my hand, watching the sun go down... Sometimes I'll invite the neighbors over.' In an interview Tuesday, Gillam said he has learned to remain focused on his missionpreventing hijack attempts and ensuring the safety of airplane passengers and flight creweven when he's involved in casual conversations. 'I'm not allowed to bring a book on board, and I certainly can't sleep, so talkative passengers tend to target me,' Gillam said. 'I'm on anywhere between two to four flights a day. Usually, people just talk about their kids or jobs, but this week, I've heard about everything from working at Disneyland to breeding Wheaten Terriers. It's really not that bad. Although I am kind of tired of talking about how many airlines don't serve dinner anymore.' Continued Gillam: 'I do a visual scan of the entire cabin every five minutes while we're in flight, to see if anything is brewing, but the people talking to me don't seem to notice.' When asked his opinion of the U.S. government's decision to order foreign airlines to place armed air marshals on some international flights, Gillam seemed indifferent. 'I guess that would be fine,' Gillam said. 'It's part of my job to be flexible. I'm not much of a talker, though. I can usually get through these short trips, but an eight-hour flight to Ireland beside a Chatty Cathy might be more than I could handle. I should ask if I'm allowed to wear headphones as long as I have the sound turned off.' Ridge praised the air marshals for helping to keep the nation's skies safe. 'The marshals are to be highly commended,' Ridge said. 'Despite being forced into excruciatingly mundane conversations about everything from stock portfolios to the proper way to make a pork roast, these men remain vigilant. Because of their efforts, an average member of the American public can feel safe babbling about his aunt's cataract surgery for two hours. For that, we should all be thankful. 
1	According to recently discovered journals, the 14th century's rat-feces-smeared men of science were at a total loss to explain how the Black Death was able to spread so quickly across Europe. The rodent-gnawed documents, which were recovered by historians from various filthy sites in England and France, provide scholars with a unique glimpse into just how utterly perplexed rat-shit-soiled physicians were by the plague's rapid dissemination. 'Verily, as I brush'd a thin layer of vermin dung from my eyes to espy with clearer gaze, I saw to my amazement that our entire village had somehow run afoul of this vile and horrendous pox,' doctor of physick Osbert Langley of Gloucester wrote in a journal entry dated Mar. 19, 1349. 'I ran immediately home, swept the festering rats from my laboratory table, and set about devising an elixir of perry and gillyflowers to help combat whatever could possibly be causing this devilish epidemick.' Despite the 14th-century healers' attempts to link the Black Death's spread to either the alignment of the stars, God's anger, or the poisoning of wells by Jews, they never deduced within the excrement-stained pages of their journals the exact origin of the disease. 'The people of our hamlet were once plentyfull,' physician Guillaume Faicheur of Marseilles wrote on Oct. 23, 1348. 'As plentyfull as the droves of rodents that scurry about our streets and homes. But now we are hedg'd on all sides by the sick and the dying, and surely some unknown, diseas'd element is to blame. Any fool can see that. It is as plain as the fleas in the feculent water we drink, of which there are so very, very many.' A number of entries from late 1350 show that, as a final resort, the learned men of Europe planned to import thousands of rats from Asia Minor in an attempt to frighten the plague away. 
1	According to sources who played Trivial Pursuit with local man Derek Watkins last night, the hour-long question-and-answer contest revealed the 30-year-old attorney's glaring lack of knowledge of even the most fundamental social skills. 'It became obvious pretty early in the game that Derek was at a complete loss on questions of social propriety and everyday human interaction,' acquaintance Sheila Chiu said of the man who could reportedly name all five Allied beachheads at Normandy, yet displayed a conspicuous unfamiliarity with such categories as acting genially toward teammates, avoiding vociferous gloating, allowing others the opportunity to roll the die, and not repeatedly belittling the intelligence of one's fiance in front of mutual friends. 'Derek clearly had no clue on certain subjects, like having a fun and relaxing time with friends and not being a complete asshole. Though he did get all the sports questions right.' Sources confirmed a subsequent game of Apples to Apples allowed Watkins to showcase his boundless ability to generate excuses for coming in last. 
2	Lesbian Activist: I Have Come To Indoctrinate Your Children And Im not... Canadian activist Bear Bergman made headlines when she came forward with the truth about his movements motives. Bergman is a female-to-male transgender, and is therefore referred to as a he. I am here to tell you: All that time I said I wasnt indoctrinating anyone with my beliefs about gay and lesbian and bi and trans and queer people? That was a lie, Bergman wrote in his controversial article for the Huffington Post. The article is called I Have Come To Indoctrinate Your Children into My LGBTQ Agenda (And Im Not a Bit Sorry). Bergman is the head of a Toronto publishing company, and claims that she was taught to always use soft language when talking about homosexuality. She learned not to reveal her real goal which was to recruit children. I want kids to know (were perfectly fine and often really excellent) even if their parents or communitys interpretation of their religious tenets is that were awful, Bergman stated. I would be happydelighted, overjoyed I tell youto cause those children to disagree with their families on the subject of LGBTQ people. What do you think of Bergmans article and claims? 
3	Radiation Leak in New Mexico: Weve never seen a level like we are seeingKimberly Paxton WIPP is housed at an old salt mine, and toxic waste like plutonium is housed half a mile underground. All of the 139 workers were sequestered on site. WIPP is the nations first transuranic nuclear waste repository, used to permanently dispose of low-level nuclear waste from government sites around the nation. These are radionuclides that are of a hazard if inhaled, but it is not the kind of radiation that penetrates, and so the primary concern for the release of this nature is (through) the ventilation passageway and thats why our employees are sequestered in place, said Roger Nelson, a Department of Energy spokesman. (source) There have been false alarms in the past, but the DoE said initially that this was a legitimate leak. The Department of Energy is conducting testing at the site. There is no indication of what caused the leak at this time. According to the DoE, despite their initial statement, theres no longer real cause for concern. Last night, they released updated measurements on the number of potentially harmful airborne alpha and beta particles and said that none seems to have reached the surface. The story changed dramatically, taking a turn for the positive, as Nelson said that the leak was not significant. Monitors at the WIPP boundary have confirmed there is no danger to human health or the environment, the department said late Saturday night. No contamination has been found on any equipment, personnel, or facilities. (source) Do you feel reassured? Kimberly Paxton is a staff writer for The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

3	Go to Prison for File Sharing? Thats What Hollywood Wants in the Secret TPP DealMaira Sutton Here, wed like to explore yet another set of rules in TPP that will chill users rights. Those are the criminal enforcement provisions, which based upon the latest leak from May 2014 is still a contested and unresolved issue. Its about whether users could be jailed or hit with debilitating fines over allegations of copyright infringement. Dangerously Low Threshold of Criminality The US is pushing for a broad definition of a criminal violation of copyright, where even noncommercial activities could get people convicted of a crime. The leak also shows that Canada has opposed this definition. Canada supports language in which criminal remedies would only apply to cases where someone infringed explicitly for commercial purposes. This distinction is crucial. Commercial infringement, where an infringer sells unauthorized copies of content for financial gain, is and should be a crime. But thats not what the US is pushing forits trying to get language passed in TPP that would make a criminal out of anyone who simply shares or otherwise makes available copyrighted works on a commercial scale. As anyone who has ever had a meme go viral knows, it is very easy to distribute content on a commercial scale online, even without it being a money-making operation. That means fans who distribute subtitles to foreign movies or anime, or archivists and librarians who preserve and upload old books, videos, games, or music, could go to jail or face huge fines for their work. Someone who makes a remix film and puts it online could be under threat. Such a broad definition is ripe for abuse, and weve seen such abuse happen many times before. Fair use, and other copyright exceptions and limitations frameworks like fair dealing, have been under constant attack by rightsholder groups who try to undermine and chip away at our rights as users to do things with copyrighted content. Given this reality, these criminal enforcement rules could go further to intimidate and discourage users from exercising their rights to use and share content for purposes such as parody, education, and access for the disabled. The penalties themselves could be enough to intimidate and punish users in a way that is grossly disproportionate to the crime. Based upon the leak, which showed no opposition in key sections, it seems TPP negotiators have already agreed to more vague provisions that would oblige countries to enact prison sentences and monetary fines that are sufficiently high to deter people from infringing again. Here is the text: Already in many countries, criminal punishments for copyright grossly outweigh penalties for acts that are comparatively more harmful to others. So the question as to what crimes copyright infringement corresponds to in gravity is obscure. Whats more alarming is that countries without existing criminal penalties or whose penalties are not sufficiently high to satisfy the US government, may be forced to enact harsher rules. The US Trade Representative (USTR) could use the certification process, at the behest of rightsholder groups, to arm-twist nations into passing more severe penalties, even after the TPP is signed and ratified. The USTR has had a long history of pressuring other nations into enacting extreme IP policies, so it would not be out of the realm of possibility. The TPPs copyright provisions even require countries to enable judges to unilaterally order the seizure, destruction, or forfeiture of anything that can be traceable to infringing activity, has been used in the creation of pirated copyright goods, or is documentary evidence relevant to the alleged offense. Under such obligations, law enforcement could become ever more empowered to seize laptops, servers, or even domain names. Domain name seizure in the name of copyright enforcement is not new to us in the US, nor to people running websites from abroad. But these provisions open the door to the passage of ever more oppressive measures to enable governments to get an order from a judge to seize websites and devices. The provision also says that the government can act even without a formal complaint from the copyright holder. So in places where the government chooses to use the force of copyright to censor its critics, this could be even more disastrous. Weve continued to raise this issue, but its always worth mentioningthe TPP exports the United States criminal laws on digital rights management, or DRM. The TPP could lead to policies where users will be charged with crimes for circumventing, or sharing knowledge or tools on how to circumvent DRM for financial gain as long as they have reasonable ground to know that its illegal to do so. Chile, however, opposes this vague language because it could lead to criminal penalties for innocent users. The most recent leak of the Intellectual Property chapter revealed new exceptions that would let public interest organizationssuch as libraries and educational institutionsget around DRM to access copyrighted content for uses protected by fair use or fair dealing, or content that may simply be in the public domain. But even if its legal, it would be difficult for them to get around DRM since they may not be equipped with the knowledge to do it on their own. If someone else tries to do a public service for them by creating these tools for legally-protected purposes, they could still be put in jail or face huge fines. Like the various other digital copyright enforcement provisions in TPP, the criminal enforcement language loosely reflects the United States DMCA but is abstracted enough that the US can pressure other nations to enact rules that are much worse for users. Its therefore far from comforting when the White House claims that the TPPs copyright rules would not change US lawwere still exporting bad rules to other nations, while binding ourselves to obligations that may prevent US lawmakers from reforming it for the better. These rules were passed in the US through cycles of corrupt policy laundering. Now, the TPP is the latest step in this trend of increasingly draconian copyright rules passing through opaque, corporate-captured processes. These excessive criminal copyright rules are what we get when Big Content has access to powerful, secretive rule-making institutions. We get rules that would send users to prison, force them to pay debilitating fines, or have their property seized or destroyed in the name of copyright enforcement. This is yet another reason why we need to stop the TPPto put an end to this seemingly endless progression towards ever more chilling copyright restrictions and enforcement.

1	This week The Huffington Post officially launched some sort of new thing, which company representatives said will provide an exciting, revolutionary new way for users to do something or other. We are proud to provide users with this brand-new type of thing, the websites co-founder Roy Sekoff said during the live debut of the thing that apparently exists now. All of us at The Huffington Post have been hard at work making this, so here it is: a new thing. Added Sekoff, We are very proud of what we did and hope that our users can take full advantage of whatever it is this thing has to offer. The new thing, which sources supposed is either going live or has already gone live, was designed to be used in one way or another and features hosts talking about some news stuff with guests (?) but also features a social component that allows people to talk to one another or something. Since the launch of the thing, a number of users are reported to be using its video features, which apparently enable people to do things with Skype and this other thing made by Google a little while ago. The new thing is online, and Im pretty sure I used it, or watched it, or whatever, said frequent Huffington Post visitor Michael Dailey, who confirmed that the thing is in fact there. I looked at a screen for 45 seconds or so and saw some people on web cams or something talking. Im not sure who they were. And I guess it was supposed to be streaming or interactive in some way? I dont know, Dailey added. Something like that. So far, it is too early to tell how users will respond to the new thing, but web experts have said that whatever ends up being influenced by the Huffington Posts thing, it will probably be other sorts of things. If theres one thing we know for sure, its that this is definitely a thing of some kind, Slates tech reporter Rory Aderhold said. People can go online and use the thing, and they can also not use thing, for that matter. Anyway, this is a thing, Aderhold continued. We can safely say it is an extension of the Huffington Posts main web site that also does things. As of press time, it is still unclear what the Huffington Posts thing actually is, but apparently its like the future of journalism or something. 
3	War Of Words Between Russia, U.S. After Emergency UNSC MeetingBy Brandon Turbeville After Russia responded to the U.S. bombing by calling for an urgent meeting of the UNSC, the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. and notorious humanitarian bomber Samantha Power ranted and raved about the embarrassment that Russia was bringing on itself by daring to question the U.S. prerogative to bomb any and everywhere it wants. Why are we having this meeting tonight? It is a diversion from what is happening on the ground. If you dont like what is happening on the ground then you distract. It is a magicians trick we encourage the Russian Federation to have emergency meetings with the Assad regime and deliver them to this deal, Power said. What Russia is alleging tonight is that somehow the United States is undermining the fighting against ISIL. The Russian spokesperson even said that the United States might be complicit in this attack This is not a game, she exclaimed. The Syrian regime that bills itself as the fighter against ISIL let the group grow and grow. ISIL took root and prospered right next to the Assad regime, Power said. The best way to fight ISIL and al-Nusra Front is to stop bombing civilians and deliver the Assad regime. Assads tactics have been a gift to terrorists. There is a better way forward, but Russia really needs to stop the cheap point scoring and grandstanding and focus on what matters. The implementation of something that we have negotiated in good faith with them. We regret the loss of life, but since 2011 Assads regime have been striking Syrian civilians relentlessly, she added. Even by Russias standards, tonights stunt, a stunt replete with moralism and grandstanding is uniquely cynical and hypocritical, Power ranted. And that spokesperson who suggested complicity [with ISIS on the part of the U.S.] really should be embarrassed. To anyone even somewhat familiar with the situation on the ground in Syria and to most of the world, Samantha Power came across looking like the absolute monster that she is. Only within the borders of the United States and Western Europe would Power have any credibility whatsoever. To the rest of the world, however, her aggressive speech was nothing more than the rantings of either a liar or an individual suffering under a great delusion who was unfortunately allowed in front of a microphone at a world event. Powers feeble attempts at mimicking the speech and mannerisms of Barack Obama were stunted by reality and by the fact that well over 90% of her speech could be disproven within seconds of typing on a keyboard. But while Power threw her fit and humiliated herself and the United States even further, she did at least succeed in disrupting the meeting itself. Russian Ambassador to the U.N. Vitaly Churkin stormed out of the meeting claiming he had never seen such American heavy-handedness. Churkin did add that Russia still had many questions about the American attacks and that he viewed the timing of the attacks as very suspicious. That spokesman Maria Zakharova, shot back on social media after Powers ridiculous statement. She wrote, Dear Samantha Power, in order to know the meaning of the word embarrassed, I highly encourage you to travel to Syria and talk to the people there for yourself. And by that I do not mean the Al-Nusra Front militants, nor the moderate opposition, whose humanitarian situation Washington seems to be so worried about. I likewise am not referring to the Western warriors for justice for Syria. Im referring to the actual people that continue to live there in spite of the bloody experiment that has been waged on their homeland for over six years, with active participation by Washington. . Do say yes. Dont be frightened. Nobody will lay a finger on you in my presence. Unless, of course, your guys dont again mistakenly strike the wrong target. Youll make lots of new memories. And find out what embarrassed means in the process. Zakharova was also quoted by RIA Novosti as saying, We are reaching a really terrifying conclusion for the whole world: That the White House is defending Islamic State. It would be hard to add anything to Zakharovas response except to say that, as Washington becomes more and more brazen with its support for terrorists and terrorism, not only does its credibility die further but we continue to inch toward an actual confrontation between two world nuclear powers. It is time for American imperialism to come to an end and for the United States to abandon its crusade for world hegemony.

Maria Zakharova is a thoughtful, formidably intelligent woman who just happens to be strikingly attractive. Samantha Power looks like an unwashed meth head who would suck the jam from between your toes for a bump. Well said. Its always boiled down to getting rid of Assad for money and oil etc! yes the US should be very ashamed by her. The crazy criminals who have stolen power in DC and the pentagon need a come to Jesus meeting so bad GOD himself would pull him back and say, And when will this happen? After all the good ones have been murdered? More of an attempt to alleviate frustration with some levity. But seriously, I can tell you exactly when this will end. Now you tell me. My predictions: -US sponsored saber rattling to start a conflict with Russia. Powers is paid to stand in front of the entire world and lie like a rug. No amount of makeup or fancy clothes can hide the ugliness. She cant even admit why the US, Israel and the rest of our allies insist Assad must go. The American public doesnt want more war, but these people will do anything to keep us in a state of perpetual war. They dont represent us, they represent something terrible. Why is there a security council, of special members? Didnt Ovomit just say in a speech that all nations are equal, should they not all have and equal vote, and shouldnt all nations divide the cost of the UN equally. Or is the UN just another Yew banker shill, like the federal reserve? Were all equal, but some are more equal than others. You cant say the word yew j without being censored, wonder who owns and runs this site? hahaha.that is so true BARBQPIG. I was censored also for saying.sshhhh.you know J. This site is gov run.or run by the J. Gov run.or by the J. Is there a difference? No, hardly any difference, but I prefer the Z term, Restless Boomers once in a great while a J with a conscience helps our side. Sadly, too few and far between. What a war hag. No doubt she or Victoria Nuland will be Hillarys SecState.Obama needs to fire her as well as Ash Carter. Obumer is on her side of the fence. No firing here! US are criminal Warmongers and terrorist protectors! Why did they have the airstrikes? To scuttle the peace process. Peace is not good business for the warmongers, those brave people who constantly sell wars and profit from them but never actually fight in them. Needless to say, this almost always applies to their equally brave children and grandchildren. All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting. George Orwell Looks like the global elite want the conflict in Syria to be a messy affair even when the MSM reports the US and Russia are working together to destroy ISIS that way the only solution will be a global military and police force (to keep wires from getting crossed) under the command of the UN or similar international arm of the central bankers. Why else did Russia or Syria apparently bomb the UN humanitarian convoy to smithereens? Nation state actors are made to appear rogue and disorganized mirroring our national election circusvoters disgusted with both sides. Neither Russia nor Syria bombed the convoy. Its another Ghouta moment. White helmet SHAMs elNusra fire bombed it as provocation for Power to tub thump . All nations lie to cover their backsidesso yeah, some skepticism of the emerging evidence is a good idea. Theres a lot of circumstantial and detailed eye witness evidence from relief workers at the site of the attack as well as the fact two Russian Sukhoi SU-24 warplanes were in the skies above the aid convoy at the exact time of the strikes. IF the eye witnesses are all telling the truth, I personally wouldnt blame the Russians, rather rogue elements serving the NWO. There are historical precedents that support this theory e.g Congressman Larry McDonalds plane intersecting with Frank Kochs close ties to Stalin. The ranks are being filled by someone.. And the ridiculousness of it all is that it is American callousness of heart, which has left no viable alternative for peaceful solutions. Love of money is the rule of the land, and every aspect of life has suffered for it as well. This doesnt end until the people who are supposedly these peace loving, intellegent people, cast off their entire system, or fall with it. Unfortunately, the community is non existant, and will need considerable amount of work to act as a temporary replacement of government. So it is unequivocally clear that the in-tact, caring, communities will be the benefactors of the fall out. Those areas normally come with a trade off that keeps the majority out. The system is going to fall, period. It will not go without its flair for the dramatic either. Denying people food, shelter, water, even access to money, with the expressed intent of creating a fully controlled digital monetary system. It will create that system, and it will cost much human, animal, and plant life. Just as the people in it start to believe, hey, this system isnt so bad! Its true nature will show. Not to worry, even this will not last forever. It falls flat on its face in fact. Taking everyone within it to the grave which they slaved away for so diligently. Then, a new kingdom rises, and we do it all over again. Reincarnations and all, we do it all over again. Unless of course youve figured out how to remove yourself from the cycle. The graduate of the earth experience is very respected elsewhere. as told to Robert Monroe whilst he was having one of his OOBEs meanwhile the innocent women and children that are in desperate need of the humanitarian aid are screwed by the neocon shenanigans it is so immoral and criminal what these people who should not be in power who do not represent me or anybody I know, are doing to the world ,,,disgusting and shameful Clearly crazy Samantha Power has wrecked all that Sec. Kerry and Russian minister Larov have accomplished in Syria; she must be fired and prosecuted. Stop all manner and operations of WWIII, The trans-Atlantic financial system is in disintegration, its the actual existential crisis, fix the financial system, millions of lives are in danger, stop wasting time. WWIII, ordered by the irrational, bankrupt international banker-speculators will not cover up the mess they made. Stop WWIII and indict The bankers. How many massacred US soldiers would it take for Powers to consider it worthy of a UNSC emergency meeting? Ohh, ohh. 
1	Grover Cleveland Middle School student Jamie Ganser, 14, expressed mortification and a desire to die Monday upon learning that she had won the 2001 Eighth Grade Academic Achievement Award. Jamie Ganser reluctantly poses with her award. 'Now the whole school is going to think I'm the biggest geek,' Ganser told best friend and classmate Lacey Richards, who has a socially acceptable B-minus average. 'I'm not that smart. It's just that my classes were really easy this year.' Ganser said she was 'shocked' to learn that she was to be lauded for her academic performance, as she had been careful all year to keep her level of achievement low enough to avoid attention. 'Last year, [social-studies teacher] Mrs. Knauf was so happy with my essay 'What Liberty Means To Me,' she made me get up and read it to the class,' Ganser said. 'I learned my lesson from that: This year, I vowed to do much worse, but it looks like I failed.' As part of her plan, Ganser answered teachers' questions only if called upon and never raised her hand, even if she knew the answer. Though she enjoys reading, citing John Steinbeck and Ray Bradbury as two of her favorite authors, Ganser was careful only to do so at home, carrying copies of nothing more literary than Teen People to read in study hall. Ganser also took pains never to take on extra-credit assignments or study too hard for tests. 'Only the biggest dorks are all into getting good grades,' Ganser said. 'I may get good grades, but I'm not into it. It just sort of happened by accident.' 'There are lots of geeks they could've given this award to who would've totally loved it,' Ganser continued. 'But, no, they want to ruin my life. What did I do to deserve this?' According to Grover Cleveland principal Dr. Myles Auletta, Ganser richly deserved the award. 'Besides earning straight A's, Jamie participated in band and Spanish Club, and had an excellent attendance record,' Auletta said. 'Jamie is a top student, but her teachers say she's not much of a leader. The committee felt this award would be exactly the confidence boost she needs to get out there and really shine.' To Ganser's horror, Auletta announced the winners of the end-of-year awards over the school's P.A. system during his morning address. Unaware she would win the prize, Ganser did not even have a chance to stay home sick the day of the announcement. 'I was just sitting there during homeroom, and Mr. Auletta comes on and says, 'Congratulations to the following students...' Out of nowhere, he says my name. The whole homeroom turned and looked right at me.' Ganser said she tried to pretend she didn't hear her name announced. Her attention-deflecting efforts were foiled, however, when homeroom teacher Vicki Dresser said, 'How nice for you, Jamie!' and encouraged students to 'give our homeroom's very own celebrity scholar a round of applause.' A handful of Ganser's classmates half-heartedly complied while Ganser blushed and paged through her algebra book. Reviewing the full list of awardees posted on the glass window of the school's main office, Ganser's humiliation only grew. 'Vonja Dagenhardt is that weird girl who carries all her books for the entire day with her to every class,' Ganser said. 'Ryan Leeven is a total know-it-all who everyone hateshis parents won't even let him celebrate Halloween. These are the people I'm forever linked to.' Reflecting on her accomplishment, Ganser said she should have worked harder to avoid such a fate. 'I knew I never should have toughed it out and gone to school all those times I was feeling sick last winter,' Ganser said. 'Then there was the spelling bee. I couldn't decide if I'd feel stupider spelling the words right or wrong, so I just gave the right answers. Just look where it got me.' Ganser said another strike against her may have been her high scores on recent end-of-year standardized tests. 'I didn't worry about doing too well, because the scores are all kept secret,' Ganser said. 'I scored in at least the 95th percentile on everything, but whenever anyone asked me how I did, I was like, 'I can't remember.' I thought I was safe, but obviously I wasn't.' 
1	Following the Ravens victory over the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII, Baltimore officials confirmed Tuesday that they are currently seeking a safer, less crime-infested city to hold the teams celebratory parade. Though we are all excited about our Ravens bringing home the Lombardi Trophy, we must make the safety of parade attendees and the players our number-one priorityand that means keeping the celebration far away from Baltimore, said mayors office spokeswoman Ganesha Martin, who noted that parade planners had proven unable to map out a suitable motorcade route within the city limits that wouldnt lead the procession through urban neighborhoods notorious for poverty, drugs, and brutal gang violence. Weve been scouting out a number of cities in which fans can cheer on their victorious Ravens without putting themselves in immense danger, including Boston, New York, and Pittsburgh. Honestly, San Francisco is pretty high on our list right now, and doesnt have nearly as many homicides. City officials are reportedly resolved not to repeat the same mistake made in 2001, when the decision to hold the Super Bowl XXXV victory parade in Baltimore led to the near-fatal stabbing of Ravens head coach Brian Billick by a homeless crack addict 30 seconds into the ceremony. UPDATE: RAVENS SUPER BOWL PARADE MARRED BY FLOATJACKING Following Baltimores failure to secure funding to relocate the Super Bowl victory parade to a safer region, sources confirmed that the ongoing celebration has already been marred by a series of violent floatjackings perpetrated by the citys extensive criminal population. Parade attendees said that multiple floats have been seized by packs of lawless hijackers, and many Ravens players have been robbed, viciously beaten, and, in some cases, kidnapped as their floats are driven away from the parade route. selfnews Sports will continue to update this story as it develops.

3	Gutting Americas SocialismOp-Ed by John Anthony Recently, Sustainable Freedom Lab hosted a three-part podcast series called Socialism in America. Our guests had traveled to over 70 countries, lived under socialism and communism and even begun businesses worldwide and in the United States. We had a software installation expert who works closely with project teams in socialist countries and is in a unique position to understand what these workers think of the United States. The information these people shared left no doubt that our country has left free market capitalism in the rearview mirror and rocketed into our own brand of socialism. Is it possible, at this stage, to slow down or even turn back to capitalism? Socialism is more than an economic trend, it represents a cultural shift that has been decades in developing. The Affordable Care Act, unthinkable in the 90s, is now embedded in the United States. As we watch its engineered failure, we are only months away from Obamacares collapse into federally run socialized medicine. Common Core nationalized our educational system, even though three congressional laws forbid federal involvement in local learning. HUDs newest partnership with the Departments of Education and Transportation enables those agencies to dictate where our children will go to school, who will be in their classrooms, and which socioeconomic brackets will fill our neighborhoods. In many ways, we have devolved beyond a socialists dream. The government can now exert sufficient financial pressure to control whom your neighbors will be, the size of your community lots, and to annex communities into regions ultimately operated by unelected councils over whom you have no say. In spite of the tentacles of a powerful government snaking into our towns, counties and states, it is not only possible to reverse socialism; the trend has already started in communities across America. The key to destroying socialism is not to fight it; it is to starve it. To understand how, we must first understand how that contemptible model took foothold in a country that prides itself on freedom. In the 1850s, Karl Marx was determined to replace Western capitalism with socialism. Marx believed that greedy capitalists exploited workers and that beneath their smiles Americans felt oppressed. Once given the opportunity, the socialist reasoned, the American working class would revolt against and overthrow the capitalist class; clearing the path for the egalitarian promise of socialism. Marx was correct. America has its poor, its middle and wealthy classes. But, in the 1800s and early 1900s, while America had its clashes, there was no broad class conflict. There was a good reason. Marxs world was one of class immobility where those living in poverty remained impoverished for generations, and where workers were indentured to an upper class that accumulated wealth at their employees expense. But, Americans had class mobility. Like Horatio Algers forgotten tales of Ragged Dick, with hard work and sacrifice the poor could traverse the road to the middle class and even on to wealth. This hope and possibility robbed socialism of the single component it needed to survive. Conflict! In the 1950s that began to change. As newer technologies transferred the dependence of capitalists from their worker productivity, to their capital investments, Americans income gap began to widen. The capitalists, not the workers owned the computers, the machinery and the technology. In other words, they owned the capital that was increasingly responsible for creating their products and the workers became a smaller portion of the economic equation. As jobs flew overseas and technology advanced, politicians strangled new businesses with mounting regulations, inspections, certifications, and fees. Middle class jobs opportunities slowly ground down. By the mid 1980s Americas middle class began shrinking until today, the United States, which once boasted the largest middle class in the world, now has the smallest middle class of any first world nation. As middle class job opportunities shrank, so too did economic mobility. According to the economic Gini scale, today the US is almost as economically immobile as aristocratic Britain. People may want to rise out of poverty, but there is less place for them to go. With the middle class shrinking and the income gap widening, the only piece missing to usher in socialism was class warfare. But Marxists followers had already embedded class conflict in our colleges. The Frankfurt School was a socialist incubator that relocated from Germany to the campus of Columbia University during Hitlers rise. By the 1960s liberation movement, womens studies, race studies and black history studies created permanent underclasses within the economic classes. Critical Theory evolved in academia as a philosophy that criticized Americas traditional cultural values while it promoted womens and race theories paving the way for class victimization and militancy. So-called intellectuals mocked the once popular Horatio Alger and his uplifting tales while denying the existence of the American Dream. Barack Obamas response to the Great Recession fed the final seasoned log onto the bonfire of socialism. Plummeting unemployment numbers seemed to satisfy millions that he was indeed improving the economy. Even the revelation of record numbers of uncounted unemployed and underemployed workers was still not his greatest gift to socialism. President Obama fostered an economy with jobs for the wealthy, and jobs and benefits for the poor, but offered little to the critical middle class. Because of his jobs polarization, our 44th president has nearly ground economic mobility and opportunity, the heart of Americas economic engine, to a stuttering halt. By 2016, America was a class-battling socialist nation. We also have the tools to annihilate socialism. We can manage politicians, shrink the income gap, and restart economic mobility. Mark Herr, co-founder of the Center for Self-Governance, outlined a brilliant program on our podcast that engages workers, activists, students and church members in what he calls applied civics. Following the 1789 signing of our Constitution, our Founders told us exactly what Americans must do to assure politicians at every level, even the U.S. President, keep our nation prosperous and free. We ignored their directions. Mark has developed extraordinary teams that are bringing the left and right together, undoing damaging legislation, replacing corrupt politicians and returning our communities to our Founders model. Republican Veny Musum and Democrat Upendra Chivukula, co-authored a book, The 3rd Way Building Inclusive Capitalism, that outlines a method to close the income gap by redirecting a business taxes back into their workers pockets to purchase an interest in the companys growing capital. This simple practice upends the entire income gap problem that feeds discontent and hopelessness. Their solution benefits business owners, creates wealth for workers, and even provides more long-term federal revenues. Over 1,000 American companies are already following their model. Sustainable Freedom Lab Lab has created a clearinghouse and tools anyone can use to bring all of these great ideas together to end the reign of smothering federal agencies and corrupt and bungling politicians. Economic immobility, class conflict and unharnessed corrupt politicians breed the conflict that is the oxygen socialism needs to survive. Working together, we can starve the fire.

Image Credit: Pixabay.com What is being described as socialism in this article is the 18th century model. It is no longer valid and even nations such as China, who still operate under a form of Communism, have learned the hard way that, that model either embraces the future or dies. Socialism today, in a majority of First World nations, does not do what this author states that it does. It does not control who your neighbour will be, it does not restrict your financial abilities in any way. In fact, I live in a moderate socialistic nation that was recently awarded the position of most free nation in the World today, using personal ability to make your own way and do your own thing, without government interference. The US, by the way, was way down the list of free nations. Mr. Anthony, I dont think you understand what socialism really is. What you are describing here is fascism, not socialism. Socialism, by itself, is not fascism, it is a system whereby the citizens have a govt which serves the people, not the 1%. Many countries have become socialist without any fascism, see Europe before the EU took over. Socialism can easily be gutted and buried. We only need to return to 17th-century Christian Colonial roots when government was of, by, and for God established upon His moral law, including His economic laws. Socialism cannot exist under biblical government.

3	QE4? The Big Wall Street Banks Are Already Complaining That QE3 Is Not EnoughMichael Snyder, Contributor Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was probably hoping that QE3 would satisfy the wolves on Wall Street for a while. His promise to recklessly print 40 billion dollars a month and use it to buy mortgage-backed securities is being called QEInfinity by detractors. During QE3, nearly half a trillion dollars a year will be added to the financial system until the Fed decides that it is time to stop. This is so crazy that even former Federal Reserve officials are speaking out against it. For example, former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker says that QE3 is the most extreme easing of monetary policy that he could ever remember. But the big Wall Street banks are never going to be satisfied. If QE4 is announced, they will start calling for QE5. As I noted in a previous article, quantitative easing tends to pump up the prices of financial assets such as stocks and commodities, and that is very good for Wall Street bankers. So of course they want more quantitative easing. They always want bigger profits and bigger bonus checks at the end of the year. But at this point the Federal Reserve has already jumped the shark. If you dont know what jumping the shark means, you can find a definition on Wikipedia right here. Whatever shreds of credibility the Fed had left are being washed away by a flood of newly printed money. Those running the Fed have essentially used up all of their bullets and the next great financial crisis has not even fully erupted yet. So what is the Fed going to do if the stock market crashes and the credit market freezes up like we saw back in 2008? How much more extreme can the Fed go? We are going to print so much money that well make Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic look like wimps! Sadly, the truth is that money printing is not a quick fix and it never has been. Just look at Japan. The Bank of Japan is on round 8 of their quantitative easing strategy, and yet things in Japan continue to get even worse. But that is not going to stop the folks on Wall Street from calling for even more quantitative easing. For example, the top U.S. equity strategist for Morgan Stanley, Adam Parker, made headlines all over the world this week by writing the following. QE3 will likely be insufficient to significantly boost equity markets and we wouldnt be at all surprised to see the Fed dramatically augment this program (i.e., QE4) before year-end, particularly if economic and corporate news continue to deteriorate as they have over the past few weeks. Did you get what he is saying there? He says that QE3 is not going to be enough to boost equity markets (the stock market) so more money printing will be necessary. But wasnt QE3 supposed to be about creating jobs and helping the middle class? I can almost hear many of you laughing out loud already. As I have written about before, QE3 is unlikely to change the employment picture in any significant way, but what it will do is create more inflation which will squeeze the poor, the middle class and the elderly. The truth is that quantitative easing has always been about bailing out the banks, and the hope is that this will trickle down to the folks on Main Street as well, but that never seems to happen. Wall Street is not calling for even more quantitative easing because it would be good for you and I. Rather, Wall Street is calling for even more quantitative easing because it would be good for them. A CNBC article entitled Fed May Need to Boost QE Dramatically This Year: Pros discussed Wall Streets desire for even more money printing. The Federal Reserves latest easing move has been nicknamed everything from QE3 to QE Infinity to QEternal, but some on Wall Street question whether the unprecedented move will be QEnough. And of course everyone pretty much understands that QE3 is definitely not going to fix our economic problems. Even most of those on Wall Street will admit as much. In the CNBC article mentioned above, a couple of economists named Paul Ashworth and Paul Dales at Capital Economics were quoted as saying the following. The Fed can commit to deliver whatever economic outcome it likes, but the problem is that the crisis in the euro-zone and/or a stand-off in negotiations to avert the fiscal cliff in the U.S. may well reveal it to be like the proverbial Emperor with no clothes An emperor with no clothes? I think the analogy fits. The Federal Reserve is going to keep printing and printing and printing and things are not going to get any better. At this point, economists at Goldman Sachs are already projecting that QE3 will likely stretch into 2015. The Federal Reserves QE3 bond buying program announced earlier this month could last until the middle of 2015 and eventually reach $2 trillion, according to an estimate from economists at Goldman Sachs. The Goldman economists also wrote in a report that they believe the Fed will not raise the federal funds rate until 2016. This rate, which is used as a benchmark for a wide variety of consumer and business loans, has been near 0% since December 2008. The Fed said in its last statement that it expected rates would remain low until mid-2015. So why is Wall Street whining and complaining so loudly right now? Well, even with all of the bailouts and even with all of the help from the first two rounds of quantitative easing, things are still tough for them. For example, Bank of America recently announced that they will be laying off 16,000 workers. In addition, there are rumors that 100 highly paid partners at Goldman Sachs are going to be getting the axe. It is said that Goldman will save 2 billion dollars with such a move. We havent even reached the next great financial crisis and the pink slips are already flying on Wall Street. Meredith Whitney says that she has never seen anything quite like this. The industry is as bad as Ive seen it. So its certainly not a great time to be on Wall Street. But of course Wall Street is not going to get much sympathy from the rest of America. The truth is that things have been far rougher for most of the rest of us than things have been for them. When the last crisis hit, they got trillions of dollars in bailout money and we got nothing. So most people are not really in a mood to shed any tears for Wall Street. But of course the Federal Reserve is definitely hoping to help their friends on Wall Street out by printing lots of money. You never know, by the time this is all over we may see QE4, QE5, QE Reloaded, QE With A Vengeance and QE The Return Of The Bernanke. Meanwhile, Europe is gearing up to print money like crazy too. A couple months ago, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi made the following pledge. Within our mandate, the European Central Bank is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro, and believe me, it will be enough. And of course the Bank of Japan has joined the money printing party too. The following is from a recent article by David Kotok. The recently announced additional program by the BOJ includes a fifty-percent allocation to the purchase of ten-year Japanese government bonds. The other fifty percent will buy shorter-term government securities. Thus, the BOJ is applying half of its additional QE stimulus to extracting long duration from the government bond market, denominated in Japanese yen. All of the central banks seem to be getting on the QE bandwagon. But will this fix anything? Unfortunately it will not, at least according to Paul Volcker. Another round of QE is understandable but it will fail to fix the problem. There is so much liquidity in the market that adding more is not going to change the economy. The truth, however, is that nobody on the committee, nor on our staffs at the Board of Governors and the 12 Banks, really knows what is holding back the economy. Nobody really knows what will work to get the economy back on course. And nobody in fact, no central bank anywhere on the planet has the experience of successfully navigating a return home from the place in which we now find ourselves. No central bank not, at least, the Federal Reserve has ever been on this cruise before. Can you imagine the head coach of a football team coming in at halftime and telling his players the following. Nobody on the coaching stuff really has any idea what will work. That sure would not inspire a lot of confidence, would it? Perhaps the Fed should be open to some input from the rest of us. Actually, back on September 14th the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco posted a poll on Facebook that asked the following question. What effect do you think QE3 will have on the U.S. economy? The following are the 5 answers that got the most votes. -Long term, disastrous -Negative -Thanks for $5 gas -I cant believe you think this will work! -Fire Bernanke So what do you think about the quantitative easing that the Federal Reserve is doing? Please feel free to post a comment with your thoughts below. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

So it was a breath of fresh air when President-elect Trump announced he would be attending the Army-Navy gave. Throughout Obamas eight years of presidency, he only made effort to go to one game. To show their gratitude, the army set up a locker just for Trump, their new commander-in-chief. Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) December 10, 2016 Before the game started, President-elect Donald Trump met with Army cadets and Navy midshipman.

2	Muslims Everywhere Are Outraged After Papa Johns Make Huge Stand Against Islam According to recent reports, Robert Mickles, a Muslim man, sued Papa Johns Pizza for serving him a pizza with pork on it when he had ordered beef. Mickles lawsuit was filed nearly a decade ago, but the story is making headlines once again, due to its relevance to current events. Consuming pork products is forbidden by the Quran, so Mickles typically orders his Pizza with beef rather than sausage. I sat down and folded a big piece in half and stuck it in my mouth and began to chew and I noticed it tasted sour, Mickles, who has been Muslim for four years, told reporters. When his friend tried the pizza, he confirmed that the meat was sausage. Every once in a while you get somebodys order wrong, claims Papa Johns manager Max Onwinsky. But thats going to happen. Mistakes happen. Im not going to say were perfect. Still, Onwinsky claims that the action was nothing more than a mistake. Right now, inside my body theres a parasite growing that Ill never be able to get rid of, Mickles claims. And Ive actually sinned in the eyes of God, because I was told not to eat it. What do you think of the charges against Papa Johns?

2	BREAKING: High Ranking Military Officials Preparing For Coup Against Obama It is clear that opposition against President Obama is growing stronger each day, especially among men and women in uniform. Those fighting for our country are starting to feel that they have a Commander-in-Chief that blatantly disrespects them, and that does not understand foreign policy in the slightest. Now it appears that the military may stand against Obama for another, more clear reason: he is a criminal. According to a columnist for Western Journalism, members of the US military are trying to decide whether to continue following Obama as Commander-in-Chief. The conflict stems from the fact that the president has broken numerous laws and violated his oath of office. L. Todd Wood cites several examples in his writing, ranging from his abuse of various agencies to the Benghazi scandal. He then asks a very important question, For at the end of the day, how can you serve a criminal? The question is one that the American people and government seem to be asking themselves a lot lately. As the president continues to loss respect, some wonder whether he will actually end up losing his position in the White House all together. What do you think? Would Obamas time be better spent in prison? 
2	Three Senior ISIS Leaders Taken Out In U.S. Airstrikes Finallysome good news! According to recent reports, the U.S. led coalition of bombings in Iraq has just led to our first takedown of 3 top ISIS leaders. Despite pressures from Obama to back down, this is a huge success for us. Reports indicated that the troops fighting Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria were able to defeat the groups finance minister as well as two other senior leaders. That information was confirmed by a U.S. military spokesman on Thursday. Army Colonel Steve Warren told the Pentagon that coalition airstrikes had successful killed Abu Salah, as well as a senior leader believed to be responsible for coordinating the groups extortion activities. They also took down a leader who was essentially acting as an executive office. What do you think? Are you happy that America is finally taking action? 
3	Lowest Ever: The Baltic Dry Index Plunges To 394 As Global Trade Grinds To A StandstillBy Michael Snyder If you are not familiar with the Baltic Dry Index, here is a helpful definitionfrom Wikipedia The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) is an economic indicator issued daily by the London-based Baltic Exchange. Not restricted to Baltic Sea countries, the index provides an assessment of the price of moving the major raw materials by sea. Taking in 23 shipping routes measured on a timecharter basis, the index covers Handysize, Supramax, Panamax, and Capesize dry bulk carriers carrying a range of commodities including coal, iron ore and grain. The BDI is one of the key indicators that experts look at when they are trying to determine where the global economy is heading. And right now, it is telling us that we are heading into a major worldwide economic downturn. Some people try to dismiss the recent drop in the Baltic Dry Index by claiming that shipping rates are down because there is simply too much capacity out there these days. And I dont dispute that. Without a doubt, too many vessels were built during the boom years, and now shipbuilders are paying the price. For example, Chinese shipyards reported a 59 percent decline in orders during the first 11 months of 2015 Total orders at Chinese shipyards tumbled 59 percent in the first 11 months of 2015, according to data releasedDec. 15 by the China Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry. Builders have sought governmentsupport as excess vessel capacity drives down shipping rates and prompts customers to cancel contracts. Zhoushan Wuzhou Ship Repairing Building Co. last month became the first state-owned shipbuilder to go bankrupt in a decade. But that doesnt explain everything. The truth is that exports are way down all over the world. China, the United States, South Korea and many other major exporting nations have all been reporting extremely dismal export numbers. Global trade is contracting quite rapidly, and I dont see how anyone could possibly dispute that. The global economy is a mess, but many people are not paying any attention to the economic fundamentals because they are too busy looking at the stock market. The stock market does not tell us how the economy is doing. If the stock market is up today that does not mean that the economy is doing well, and if the stock market is down tomorrow that does not mean that it is doing poorly. Yes, the health of the financial markets can greatly affect the overall economy. We saw this back in 2008. When there is a tremendous amount of panic, that can cause a credit crunch and make it very difficult for money to flow through our system. The end result is a rapid slowdown of economic activity, and it is something that we will be experiencing again very soon. But dont let the day to day fluctuations of the stock market fool you. Just because the Dow was up 227 points today does not mean that the crisis is over. It is important to remember that stocks are not going to go down every single day. On Thursday, the Dow didnt even regain two-thirds of what it lost on Wednesday. Even in bear markets there are up days, and some of the biggest up days in stock market history were right in the middle of the crash of 2008. It is critical that we take a long-term view of things and not let our vision be clouded by every tick up and down in the financial markets. Initial jobless claims just hit their highest level in about six months, and companies like Macys and GoPro are laying off thousands of workers. Things are already bad, and they are rapidly getting worse. And let us not forget the great amount of financial carnage that has already happened so far this year. According to CNBC, approximately 3.2 trillion dollars of stock market wealth was wiped out globally during the first 13 days of 2016 Almost $3.2 trillion has been wiped off the value of stocks around the world since the start of 2016, according to calculations by a top market analyst. It has also been the worst-ever start to a year for U.S. equities, said Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at SP Dow Jones Indices, as both the SP 500 and the blue-chip Dow Jones industrial average have posted their steepest losses for the first eight days trading of a year. Over the past six months, there have now been two 10 percent corrections for U.S. stocks. The only other times we have seen multiple corrections like this were in1929, 2000 and 2008. If those years seem familiar to you, that is because they should. In all three years, we witnessed historic stock market crashes. The stunning collapse of the Baltic Dry Index is just more evidence that we have entered a global deflationary crisis. Goods arent moving, unemployment is rising all over the planet, and commodity prices have fallen to levels that we have not seen in over a decade. Around the globe, there have been dramatic stock market crashes to begin the year, and we should expect to see much more market turmoil during the weeks and months to come. If the markets have calmed down a bit for the moment, we should be very thankful for that, because we could all use some additional time to prepare for what is coming. The debt-fueled standard of living that so many of us are enjoying today is just an illusion. And many of us wont even understand what we have been taking for granted until it is taken away from us. A great shaking is coming to the global economy, and the pain is going to be unimaginable. So let us enjoy every single day of relative normalcy while we still can, because there arent too many of them left. Michael Snyder is a writer, speaker and activist who writes and edits his own blogs The American Dream and Economic Collapse Blog. Follow him on Twitter here. I cant shake my feelings of conspiracy on this. Remember how skyrocketing prices was blamed on skyrocketing oil prices a few years ago? Do you see any prices other than gasoline coming down? Do you see the price of oil for your car coming down? We should be experiencing significant deflation by now. I see this as a planned move to create a fake shortage to justify keeping prices up so every last penny can be squeezed from us before the inevitable collapse. Its probably a communist plot for taking over the World. You heard it here first. the sooner it crashes the betterthe unfederal zentral banks the world over are owned by spycho paths that should be jailed fro their crimes against humanity. Obamacare takes all discretionary spending and pays it to for profit insurance companies. No money left to shop at Walmart, hundreds of Walmarts closing. Its pretty simple really, everybody is now offically broke because of Obamacare. 
1	According to a new study released Monday by the National Institutes of Health, for the 25th straight year, violent wolf attacks remain the leading cause of death in the United States. The human health agencys latest findings revealed that being viciously killed by a ravenous wolf resulted in more fatalities than any other malady, claiming the lives of more than 800,000 Americans in the last year alone. The NIHs annual mortality report also confirmed that one person in the United States dies every 40 seconds from a wolf attack. Despite efforts to combat this terrible affliction, research indicates Americans are far more likely to be ruthlessly slaughtered by one or more man-eating wolves than ever before, said the studys author, William Rhodes, adding that an estimated 1 in 3 Americans will suffer a wolf attack at some point in their lives. Our knowledge about the savage encounters has improved, but we arent any closer to reducing the unfortunate number of people who every day are stopped in their tracks by a deadly wolf. Far too many are being eviscerated and devoured before their time, Rhodes continued. Doctors say 1 in 3 Americans will suffer a wolf attack at some point in their lives. According to the NIH, a wolf attack most commonly occurs when an individual is abruptly seized by a powerful, aggressive wolf. The ensuing mutilation, doctors say, results in a forceful disruption of the circulatory system, cardiac arrest, and ultimately death, oftentimes within mere minutes. Though the study emphasized that these brutal episodes threaten most demographics, the NIH report suggested men and women aged 65 and older with sedentary lifestyles faced the greatest risk of a debilitating wolf attack. The troubling statistics also confirmed that an increasing number of young children were too overweight to outrun a vicious wolf mercilessly bearing down on them. This is a devastating affliction that every day cuts down thousands of men and women from all walks of life, said Rhodes, noting that the mortality rate associated with wolf attacks easily outstrips the death toll of many other public health epidemics, including cancer, stroke, and chronic respiratory disease. While automobile accidents dramatically rose by 4 percent in 2012, most of the fatal crashes in the U.S. were caused by a timber wolf unexpectedly appearing in the backseat of a vehicle and lunging at the driver. Its truly tragic, Rhodes continued. Accounting for over $328 billion in health care expenditures and lost productivity, wolf attacks have ravaged American workplaces, and the number of victims in offices, factories, as well as bars and restaurants has tripled in recent years. Medical professionals have long advised potential victims to remain vigilant of the early warning signs that often accompany a wolf attack in order to stave off the life-threatening risks associated with the predatory beasts and their razor-sharp teeth. The most common symptoms include rapid heartbeat, profuse sweating, lightheadedness, as well as sharp, stabbing pain, which many individuals fail to identify as an Alaskan tundra wolf sinking its teeth into their flesh. Early action is key, said Johns Hopkins Hospital Director of Lupinology Julia Goodwin, who urged victims to call for help the moment they suspect theyre being ripped into by a 170-pound wolf. Many people tend to ignore a small wolf attack, failing to realize that they can be very dangerous. When youre being torn to shreds by a wolf, every second counts, Goodwin added. Glenn Everett, a Milwaukee native and father of three, told reporters that recently witnessing the tragic death of a longtime friend who suffered an unexpected wolf attack was a real wake-up call. On his 45th birthday, my buddy drops dead on his back porch after being ambushed by a pack of wolvesI dont want that to be me, said Everett, who noted he has since followed his doctors advice to exercise, quit smoking, and limit the amount of red meat he eats outside near wooded areas. The fact is, Ive got a family, and I want to watch my kids grow up, not have them look on in horror as a wolf disembowels me. However, not everyone is convinced of the efficacy of such lifestyle changes, with some potential victims claiming that genetics plays a substantial role in the chances of an individual being messily devoured, making such a gory end inevitable. Honestly, I try not to think about it, said Cincinnati resident Paul Carney, 53. My dad survived a couple of wolf attacks when he was my age. He made it all the way to 85 years old before peacefully having his throat torn out in his sleep. My doctor tells me that I have to change my bad habits, but if I want to go out every night covered in elk urine, thats my choice, Carney added. 
2	Israel Says Things Will Get Better When Obama Is Gone According to recent reports, United States Senator Joseph Lieberman has just admitted that no matter who is elected president next term, relations with Israel will likely improve the moment Obama is out of office. This is coming from among the most senior Jewish officials in Washington. When we go back and listen to President Barack Obamas Cairo speech in 2009, when he called for a freeze in construction in Judea and Samaria, from that point onward there was very little trust between the sides, Lieberman continued. Lieberrnan confirmed what many Americans already believe when he said that the relationship between America and Israel will see a new page turned over after the election, regardless of which candidate is chosen. 
2	Read Al Sharptons Emails That Just Leaked That Could Put Him Away For A Long Time According to recent reports, a long list of American corporations that have support Al Sharptons organization was released to the public. Now, emails between Sharpton and employees of the companies are shining some light on what type of person Sharpton really is. The emails show signs that Sharpton was not only forcing companies to donate to the National Action Network, but that he was profiting from them. In exchange for large sums of money, Sharpton promised to present the company in favorable light. Al Sharpton has enriched himself and NAN for years by threatening companies with bad publicity if they didnt come to terms with him. Put simply, Sharpton specializes in shakedowns, Ken Boehm chairman of the National Legal Policy Center told reporters. Once Sharptons on board, he plays the race card all the way through. He just keeps asking for more and more money. This is not the first time the National Action Network has come under criticism for their practices. What do you think? Is Sharpton a true criminal?

2	Group Of Black Students Who Attacked White Students Just Got The Worst News Of Their Lives According to recent reports, three 20-year-old students at the State University of New York at Albany are coming under fire after falsely reporting an assault that they committed on a bus as a race-based hate crime against them. Ariel Agudio, Asha Burwell and Alexis Briggs found out the hard way that lying doesnt work as well in the real world as it does in Hillary Clintons politics. Authorities were not buying their story, and have determined that the three girls actually assaulted a white man and white woman on the bus, then later misreported the incident as an attack on them. The media was quick to jump on the story, and Clinton was quick to tweet about it, claiming that there was no place for racism on a college campus. This is no doubt a move to secure the Democratic nomination. The three students have now been charged with assault, falsely reporting an incident and various counts of harassment. All the offenses listed are misdemeanors. The girls apparently did not notice the surveillance video from the bus when they made their claims. The footage ultimately showed that the girls came onto the bus and assaulted the 19-year-old white male and female. What do you think? Does this prove that the media is desperate to latch on to any story to fuel its agenda? 
3	Turmeric May Repair and Regenerate Diabetic Liver FunctionSayer Ji, Contributor The research was performed at Srinakharinwirot University in Bangkok, Thailand. The administration of curcumin to diabetic rats, whose livers showed the characteristic pathology and destruction of liver tissues and microvasculature, resulted in significant reversal of the condition. Fascinatingly, liver microvasculature in curcumin treated group developed into regenerate and repair into healthy and normal characteristics. They concluded: These results optimistically demonstrated the potential use of curcumin as a novel therapeutic agent in liver pathology of diabetic rats. Curcumin is actually one of the worlds most thoroughly studied and well-characterized natural compounds, with over 5100 references in peer-reviewed publications. Over 1400 of these have been selected for inclusion in our database, and indicate its value in over 500 health conditions. Considering its remarkably wide range of therapeutic benefits, it is not surprising that curcumin has been researched to either prevent or treat, liver disease. For example, you can view 36 studies on curcumins anti-liver cancer properties here: curcumin liver cancer. Perhaps even more impressive are these 78 studies on curcumins liver-protective properties: hepatoprotective properties of curcumin. Another 30 studies indicate its profound value in improving liver fibrosis. Finally, curcumins superiority over conventional pharmacological agents in treating cancer is well characterized. We have indexed 36 studies showing curcumin is ability to inhibit and/or kill drug-resistance cancers. Even more impressive, here are 27 studies showing that curcumin can killmulti-drug resistance cancers. We will end with a simple image. Turmeric, the mother plant if you will, which gives rise to the compound curcumin. Do you see how the Earth provides this gift for free? It simply grows out of the ground. There is love in this fact. I hope you can appreciate the profound meaning of this gift. RESOURCES [ii] Min Xu, Bin Deng, Yeuk-Lung Chow, Zhong-Zhen Zhao, Bin Hu.

1	According to sources at the corporate headquarters of fast food giant KFC, a young boy believed to be the third reincarnation of the chain's regional manager for eastern Georgia was discovered in Chatfield, MN Tuesday following an exhaustive five-year search. The Chosen One The Chosen One, kindergartner Brian Thorson, was located by a special council of seven High Branch Managers selected from the most profitable KFC restaurants nationwide. In accordance with tradition, the boy will henceforth be known as Roger Purcell, the ceremonial title given to all who have previously overseen operations in eastern Georgia. His Eminence Dan Orman, who supervises the Wilshire Boulevard franchise in downtown Los Angeles, told reporters the search for the reborn manager began Jan. 23, 2005, when the previous Roger Purcell died of a massive heart attack. 'We watched carefully to see which direction the winds would take the smoke billowing forth from the fryer exhaust fan at the Waycross, GA location,' said Orman, whose council set out on a long Midwestern journey after receiving the sign. 'We interviewed hundreds of boys born that Jan. 23, but only Brian possessed a preternatural knowledge of the average monthly napkin orders generally needed for the six restaurants he will soon oversee.' The Chosen One's most exalted and glorious predecessor. 'Rejoice, for before us is he who is destined to give guidance and impart wisdom to all who work at KFC locations east of Macon!' Orman added. Several High Branch Mangers confirmed the child was subjected to a battery of tests to determine if he was in fact the reincarnated supervisor of restaurants 234 through 239. As with all candidates, Brian was seated at a table and asked to choose from a wide array of objects, including a stapler, a stained necktie, a spork, and various other personal effects. Orman told reporters the young boy's hand moved immediately to a spray can of Right Guard, the sole item before him that had in fact belonged to the last Roger Purcell. 'Brian also picked up the rubber stamp used to approve payroll as if he had been handling it his entire life,' Orman said. 'After he recited without hesitation each of the 11 herbs and spices in the colonel's secret recipe, there could not be any doubt left in my mind.' According to sacred interoffice memos, the first earthly embodiment of Roger Purcell was born Jim Stephens in 1957. The son of a simple insurance salesman, Stephens was discovered by emissaries traveling east on behalf of company founder Colonel Harland Sanders, who in 1960 had a dream-vision of a glimmering red-and-white Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise by the sea. When the young Stephens was found on the Georgia shore selling buckets of biscuits for a nickel, Sanders ordered the prophesied restaurant be built on the spot and soon added biscuits as a menu item. Like the incarnations before him, the new Roger Purcell has been taken from his family and sequestered in a regional training facility to receive instruction on how to implement revised conduct codes and limited-time-only promotions handed down from corporate. While there, KFC officials confirmed, he will be adorned in the traditional vestments of Dockers slacks and poly-cotton blend short-sleeved dress shirts that he will wear for the rest of his life. The boy has reportedly already made his pilgrimage to a local Supercuts and received the customary hairstyle of his order: the $14 shampoo-and-trim special. 'It will not be an easy path for him,' company spokesperson Rachel Klein said. 'He will face many tests of high employee turnover as well as cus-tomer accusations of missing side orders. And only by intuition will he know when to order the changing of the oil in the deep fryers; that is something that cannot be taught.' Despite the new manager's youth and inexperience, followers have already gathered at KFC's eastern Georgia offices to seek his advice. 'I have traveled more than 15 miles to find answers to some very difficult questions,' said Tim Cleary, night manager of a franchise in Statesboro. 'I hope the new Roger Purcell can help me to become enlightened concerning many things I have often wondered about.' 'Like why I have to get approval for time-sheet changes from [day manager] Beth [Reardon],' Cleary added. 
3	The Age of Transition and Scientism FraudBy Jay Dyer I answer in the negative and the reasons for my dark assessment are many. Listening to a recent interview between someone of a truly skeptical bent with a figure in the scientism/skeptical crowd, I was irked to hear a bevy of fallacies and incongruences and unexamined assumptions that will here be analyzed with scalpel-like precision. As mentioned above, what precisely is meant by the terms evolution, change, progress and Nature? According to those in the ranks of establishment scientism, these are givens, terms of brute factuality and reason, all of which mystically coalesce to give us the best possible model of the world under the new grand narrative mythos of science. What is meant by evolution? According to modern scientism, the observation of small-scale changes in a species that appear to aid in the species extension into the future through reproduction is the basic understanding of evolutionary adaptation. Thus, because certain breeds of animals can be bred with fitter members of the species, we can extrapolate that large-scale aeons of time resulted in the origins of all life from a single amoeba. When it is pointed out that aeons millions of years of adaptation and change are not observed, the reply is that bacteria purportedly adapt under conditions of pressure. Thus, it follows that all life mutated under conditions of pressure to evolve into what we see today. On the surface, this has an appearance of being reasonable. Almost no one denies micro-evolutionary adaptation and change, that within the mechanics of various organisms there resides the DNA programming to adapt to environmental circumstances. Where the bait and switch comes is the dogmatic assertion that from this observation, it is certain that all life originated from a single cell millions of years ago, following billions of years of Big Bang expansion. The evidence for these theories nowadays is, of course, taken as dogmatic fact, with any dissension on these matters scorned and mocked. Why? Because religion is irrational and unscientific and cannot be tested. Yet can these assertions be tested as scientific? The reply is that they are proven by carbon dating and observing various UV rays that appear to expand from the presumed singularity point. There are numerous problems with these claims, but the most glaring will suffice in illustration. First, carbon dating is notoriously unreliable, with examples of testing on recent artifacts showing outrageous time stamps for items that are manifestly not ancient. Further, the carbon dating itself works on the assumption of millions of years of evolutionary, chaotic flux, which begs the question. In other words, if your testing methods already operate on the assumption that matter is aeons in age, then the results of the tests are obviously predetermined. Second, the appearance of light expanding from some locale is only as coherent as the assumption that it comes from some point of singularity, of which there is absolutely no observable evidence. As you point these facts out to those enmeshed in the religion of scientism, many will admit these are theories, but they are the best models we have. Says whom? Why does the scientism crowd never admit they are subject to biases and greed (for grants)? How is it that science or the lab is magically averse to the failings of the rest of human endeavors? Ah, well, yes, it is subject to those things, but that is the beauty of science, we are always changing and adapting our theories to fit the evidence, the general response comes. To a degree, this is true. Science does posit new theories and does refine its previous analyses as new data emerges. Yet as Ive pointed out many times, for this methodology to be consistent, they would have to also conduct scientific experiments into the question of the empirical scientific method itself, as well as its governing assumptions. This is never, ever done, aside from one establishment-funded study that tried to implicate lab bias into a ridiculous Marxist framework. On the contrary, there is a motivating impetus to not conduct this kind of investigation, because it would expose much of scientisms fraud and deception, where we would discover the scientific establishment is the servant of the same master as the banking, economic and entertainment fields, all of which operate under the (fallacious) umbrella of consensus reality. The scientific establishment is a hierarchy that operates just like any other corporation of government entity, where knowledge is apportioned on a need-to-know basis. Biologists are afraid, for example, to speak on the matter of physics because they arent physicists, while mathematicians are afraid to speak on the matter of astronomy because they arent astronomers. This ridiculous segmentation of knowledge (and there is nothing wrong with specialization) is itself also predicated on the presupposition of scientism, that reality is not a meaningful, coherent universe, but a random, chaotic mutation of accidental consequence. It just is, becomes the scientistic refrain, and if you dont accept that premise and consider any other options, you are a fool. What begins to become clear is that this is a weighted game that has nothing to do with discovering what is true, objective and factual in the natural world, but rather a realm of gatekeepers that demand adherence to a predefined set of orthodoxies that determine who is a scientist and who is worthy of peer review. Furthermore, scientism is entirely grounded in an old, outdated epistemology known as empiricism which has been dissected, refuted and annihilated so many times by cogent philosophers and logicians its continued existence is ironically miraculous. Of all the persons who ought to adhere to their much-touted logic and reason, these fools are the most irrational, incoherent and nonsensical of all, as they perpetually melt under the 100 degree flame of foundational presuppositional inquiry (and thats a lab test Ive done many times that appears to always hold true). Arrogantly assuming they know, when in fact they do not (having a gadfly appearance of knowledge), scientism likes logic when it suits, quickly to discard and dispense with such rigors when the heat comes. All human knowledge comes through sense experience begins their assumptions, yet when pressed as to whether this proposition itself is a fact of sense data (which it obviously is not), universal claims suddenly dissipate and this great commandment is hailed as an obvious given. Its a new maxim, a new commandment from the gods of the Enlightenment, and you darent ask such questions. Yet if science is so groundbreaking and revolutionary in character, why is it so afraid of these basic questions of epistemology? The general reply at this stage is that science cannot, should not and will not answer such absurd metaphysical questions. Now wait a minute here on what basis did this suddenly get shelved into the metaphysical category? Says whom? By what standard does the individual scientist know that asking questions of this nature are metaphysical, as opposed to questions concerning lab data? You begin to see how many and multifaceted the mere assumptions are for scientism to operate. Despite the fact that their starting point is a foundational contradiction, the rest of the world is expected to gaze in awe upon the entire edifices that are constructed upon these fallacies, with rational inquiry unwelcomed. This, you see, is the role of philosophy, and is quite clearly the reason true philosophical inquiry it is hated by scientism (as Tyson recently demonstrated). Also crucial to note is the structure of scientism and the establishment, whose fraudulent bases are continuously exposed openly, with the public becoming none the wiser. This year alone papers were produced from peer review that give the appearance of black holes being both impossible and non-existent, as well as existing. Dark matter pervades our universe, yet, wait, no its back to ancient conceptions of aether. Quantum physics is real, yet wait, it is pseudo-science theory. In other words, science, like all the other industries, operates under the publics nave assumption that it is a unified, governing body of non-biased, neutral geniuses, engaged in the noble endeavor of furthering the progress of human knowledge. Again we see those amorphous, undefined, inchoate terms. Simple philosophical questions should come to bear on these multitudes of theories, and were scientists better trained in logic and metaphysics(which they are not), we might avoid many of these ridiculous pitfalls. For example, if Einsteins relativity is true, there is no fixed point of reference from which to determine which stellar bodies are orbiting which, nor the theory that the universe expanded from a single, compressed atomic mass. This preposterous notion is a clear signpost of the irrationality of scientism, as is the popular theory of how planets formed that random chunks of space dust got caught in orbits, started spinning, and over billions of years, like bellybutton lint, congealed into a sphere from which life happened to spring forth from primal sludge. Truly it is the case that only academics could believe such fairy tales which are far more laughable than religious creation narratives. And so the age of transition is not the transition into the era of utopian scientific progress, transhumanism, technological immortality and United Nations kumbaya most think, it is the age of transitioning away from all traditional forms of culture. It is the age of transition into a new global mythology that is created and manufactured in the same way the culture industry creates cultures in various regions and nations. It is a scientific dictatorship that is not scientific, but dogmatic, fascist and hierarchically structured on a need-to-know basis that blatantly hides, obfuscates and rejects actual data and information about human origins and life, only to be replaced by the most preposterous theories of primal sludge, lint ball planets and imagined aeons of unobserved billions of years, meaninglessly exploding forth from the universes (Fantasia level) singularity point. This is not progress, these retarded theories are a regress into explanatory models with no explanatory power. They need to be called out for what they are replacement mythologies that are rehashed forms of ancient atomism, dressed up in scientistic garb. It is time to reject these phonies, liars, dupes and establishment hacks, and recognize they suppress real science and inquiry for the purpose of control. Their control is not about human progress, but the Orwellian opposite, the dysgenics plan of destroying man. We need only think of the Lancet, Oxfords most prestigious medical journal, whose editor recently stated in a matter-of-fact tone that half the worlds scientific literature is fraudulent: Dr. Horton recently published a statement declaring that a lot of published research is in fact unreliable at best, if not completely false. The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. (source) This is quite disturbing, given the fact that all of these studies (which are industry sponsored) are used to develop drugs/vaccines to supposedly help people, train medical staff, educate medical students and more. Its common for many to dismiss a lot of great work by experts and researchers at various institutions around the globe which isnt peer-reviewed and doesnt appear in a credible medical journal, but as we can see, peer-reviewed doesnt really mean much anymore. Credible medical journals continue to lose their tenability in the eyes of experts and employees of the journals themselves, like Dr. Horton. He also went on to call himself out in a sense, stating that journal editors aid and abet the worst behaviours, that the amount of bad research is alarming, that data is sculpted to fit a preferred theory. He goes on to observe that important confirmations are often rejected and little is done to correct bad practices. Whats worse, much of what goes on could even be considered borderline misconduct. Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and longtime Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ), which is considered to another one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals in the world, makes her view of the subject quite plain: It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine (source) You can read more from Jay Dyer at his site Jays Analysis. Thank you to Jay for calling out the Science and Academia Frauds. There are a lot of them and it pays well. Thank goodness for Jays clear, cool, penetrating and brilliant mind. We need more like him! Richard Wilcox Having just been on a crash course the last few days catching up on the latest findings on the theory of an electrical universe on The Thunderbolts Project Youtube channel, Im freshly familiar with what polite scientific discourse looks like. It starts with a general recounting of what the current accepted theories are, then moves on to unanswered questions about the current theory, then to why observations do not match current theory, then to how observations do match the new theory. This is how science works when it works properly. Politics, turf wars, and career defense do interrupt this process, but never forever, as there is always a new generation of scientists eager to knock their predecessors off their pedestals. Science advances one funeral at a time Max Planck Evolutionary theory is a particularly interesting case in point. Ive divided the arguments into three camps: The Nobody did it camp believes its all random mutation; The God did it camp believes a higher power, overseeing the entire universe, masterfully designed everything; and the We did it camp allows that individual organisms have greater leeway in designing themselves than science currently understands or religionists would ever acknowledge. If youve never heard of this theory of self-design its because the other two camps, religionists and scientists, deny it could exist, the former because it takes away power from God, and the latter because it doesnt fit current theory. (See _Quantum Evolution How Physics Weirdest Theory Explains Lifes Biggest Mystery_ by Johnjoe McFadden for more on this) There have been major scientific revolutions in the past and there will be more in the future. We are fortunate to be able to observe one going on right now as the theory of an electric universe gains ground. Ive been pleased to have my open-mindedness tested by this theory, comfortably letting go of much of what I know about how the universe works in favor of what stunning, astounding observations from our accelerating space exploration program is showing us about what is actually out there. If you love science and real answers, take a look at whats going on in electrical universe theory its bigger than the revolutionary realizations that the Earth isnt flat, or that the sun doesnt orbit the Earth. The Electric Universe Theory fails to understand that the plasma of the sun, is the building blocks of all there is. Keshe Foundation actually defines this Plasma in his book The Structure of Light. On the contrary, the Electric Universe Theory INCORPORATES plasma physics into its model. Well Willy, your scoundrel comprehension skills failed to understand that I said the EU FAILS to UNDERSTAND the nature of the plasma and that the suns plasma is the building blocks for EVERYTHING (all their is). And in so, obsoleting and eliminating the particle theories of electrons and protons as building blocks. I did not say it did not incorporate it. I said it did not understand what it is. Unless of course you wish to send a link as to what Thunderbolts define Suns Plasma as. The EU does not know what electricity is. If you do please explain Lord Kelvins thunderstorm. The EU does not understand what the Plasma structure is. Keshe s books have come 15 years after the explanation I have given as to how plasma bars form Matter and energy as we know it. The EU does not understand the Aether as so knows not the intelligent design behind the universe. Einstein was responsible for removing the Aether against Teslas better judgement. Glad we cleared that one up! So The Electric Universe Theory fails to understand means what YOU meant to say, but didnt, not what it would generally be taken to mean. By people who use English honestly, I mean. You FAIL to say (or give a link) as to what the EU says what suns plasma is. Are you having a bad day at the alphabet troll office agency? Bored with life so you abuse posters with data and experiments to back up what they say/mean as a way to earn your daily troll wage? Could you for once in your life actually contribute to a debate like explain what plasma is according to the Electric Universe theory? As a paid up member of thunderbolts forum I couldnt find it. If not I and the rest of the world will see you for what you are. If not a troll then just another internet armchair critic based upon other internet armchair critics opinions. Good luck with that. I dont speak for the EU people. Youve obviously mistaken me for someone who does. This is not progress, these retarded theories are a regress into explanatory models with no explanatory power. This is precisely the crux of the biscuit, as a friend of mine used to say. The Big Bang, like Global Warming, is new age religion disguised as science. One day our descendants, if we have any, will be deeply amused at these abuses, which are essentially no different from the Salem Witch Trials. And Further, the EU theory hasnt a clue as to how the sun makes and emits such large quantities of plasma. It knows not what light is, if it did, it could also explain why a match gives off light. And of course your witch trials will give evidence of where all them electrons come from at a coal fired power station without restructuring matter from such a huge vacuum suction action around the spinning magnet generators giving us the answer as to what is electricity and why its similar to an acid/lead vessel. couldnt resist nice one sk 1961 The peer review process is all about statusquo publish the current dogma or perish. If your micro understanding of the atomic structure is wrong and you use this model to understand the sun and the universe it follows that there will be flaws in the theory. The EU has no understanding of magnetic fields that are symbiotic with gravity quote Wallace Thornhill: The Long Path to Understanding Gravity | EU2015 August 16, 2015 by sschirott In the theoretical sciences, it is commonly assumed that the role of Man o Man! I love this essay. certain breeds of animals can be bred with fitter members of the species? The author demonstrates very clearly a significant failure to understand evolutionary theory. Individuals exhibit small changes from their forebearers, and if those changes benefit the individual, that individual will have more reproductive success than relatives without the beneficial change. I am not familiar with evolutionists arguing that evolution aids in the extension of the species. The opposite is in fact the case, as species pass out of existence over time. According to the author, scientists believe that evolution has perpetuated species, so it seems to follow that a human being is the same species as its most ancient ancestor. Feel free to provide a source for that interpretation of evolutionary theory. Evolution is a Myth not a theory. The lack of understanding a Myth is not a failure, it is a virtue. The human Brain is 10 times larger than is needed. Evolution mythology does not make changes that are not used nor needed. Mans understanding of DNA and self replicating genes is barbaric to Frankensteinian. To use bacteria as gene splicing vectors is why by the 5th generation the seeds are deformed weeds. They label genes as junk because they clearly dont use the other 90% they was given to them by (insert favorite deity/alien here) You dont even know how to use capital letters. Your post goes downhill from there. 
3	The Lock Down Has Begun: JP Morgan Restricts ATM Cash WithdrawalsBy Mac Slavo It appears that the lock down of cash has begun. Citing criminal activity as a factor, JP Morgan is limiting cash withdrawals at ATM machines. The bank said there doesnt appear to be fraud involved. But partly due to heightened regulatory scrutiny, banks are paying more attention to large cash transfers that could be a sign of money laundering or other types of shady activity. Typically, the card-issuing bank sets withdrawal limits, not the bank owning the ATM. The move by the largest bank in the U.S. doesnt affect J.P. Morgan Chases own customers, whose maximum daily withdrawals are set depending on the clients account type. The bank has seen high-dollar withdrawals at both new and old ATMs, said bank spokeswoman Patricia Wexler. J.P. Morgan Chases change last month affects roughly 18,000 automated teller machines nationwide and followed an interim step earlier this year limiting noncustomer cash removals at $1,000 per transaction. The earlier move was made as a temporary fix while the bank could make software changes to roll out the more stringent daily limit, Ms. Wexler said. She added that the bank felt it was prudent to set withdrawal limits on all of our ATMs after identifying some large cash withdrawals from noncustomers. In 2015 wewarned readers to divest some of their assets out of bank accounts for this very reason, noting that bank glitches andarbitrary holds would begin to affect more and more depositors. And while the recent move by JP Morgan Chase appears to only affect non-customers, a recent report indicates that the Justice Departmenthas advised bank tellers nationwide to keep any eye out on cash transactions. Suspicious activity, which by the governments definition is as little as $3000, should be reported to law enforcement and under existing guidelines police can then seize those funds without charge or trial: [W]e encourage those institutions to consider whether to take more action: specifically, to alert law enforcement authorities about the problem, who may be able to seize the funds, initiate an investigation, or take other proactive steps. After the massive bailouts required to save the system following the crash of 2008 banks and regulators worked together to ensure that all deposit accounts in the United States are no longer the property of depositors, but rather, the banks themselves. All customer funds in the United States are now the legal property of JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNYM, or whichever megabank is the counterparty on the loans the FCM or depository institution takes out in order to fund its mega-levered proprietary in-house trading desks. In a recent interview intelligence insider Jim Rickards discusses this recent trend and provides insights into how susceptible the banking system is to not just cyber warfare or power grid failure, but confiscation in the form of bank bail-ins or outright government seizure.

1	Well-placed sources at the Art Institute of Chicago reported Tuesday that the employees were bracing for an imminent encounter with a large group of identically clad people walking toward the building behind someone waving a purple wooden stick. The groupwhose members all wore shirts featuring a stylized bird logo that could represent a summer camp or religious youth groupbegan assembling approximately 40 yards from the entrance, causing museum employees to rush to assigned stations from which they could ensure no one would block hallways, loiter in bathrooms, or touch paintings. 'Heads up,' floor manager Carla Ellis said. 'It looks like they just got off a bus. I think they're from out of state. Here we go!' As of press time, the group was still dawdling 20 feet from the entrance, with at least one person in a wheelchair, and it was surmised that its members were either foreign tourists or a special-needs class. 
1	In an effort to highlight their longstanding contributions and loyalty to the agency, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a new line of commemorative stamps Wednesday honoring those Americans who still use the U.S. Postal Service. Our latest series of Forever stamps recognizes the remaining citizens who continue to support the USPS by physically sending their bills, rent checks, and thank-you cards via traditional mail, said Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe, noting that the newly issued stamps will depict such longtime supporters as Linda Campbell, an elderly Charleston, SC resident who still writes letters to her loved ones regularly, and 24-year-old Nicole Meier, who sends postcards during various trips around the country using the national mailing system. The efforts of these individualsincluding Salem, OR resident Patricia Hunt, who mails a birthday card to her nephew each year, and the sixth-grade teacher at Nyack, NYs Humphrey Elementary School, who still has students send letters to their state senators every fallare worthy of our praise and deserve the highest honor the USPS can bestow. Donahoe added that the Postal Service would also be releasing a limited edition collectors stamp honoring those who have purchased a booklet of stamps, later lost it, and then had to buy another one. 
3	Egypt Is Descending Into Civil War, But Dont Expect Obama To Cancel His Golf VacationMichael Snyder Between snubbing world leaders and getting the U.S. economy going again, it must be really tough for Obama to find enough time to sharpen his game. Of course I am being facetious. It is absolutely ridiculous how much time Obama takes off, and Congress is even worse. Congress is taking a five-week vacation right now. Most Americans dont get that much vacation in an entire year. Meanwhile, as our leaders enjoy their rest, the Middle East is coming apart at the seams. Angry supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi staged protests and burned buildings Thursday as President Obama condemned the violence on both sides and canceled next months joint military operations. The unrest came a day after at least 638 people were killed in violence nationwide, including 43 police officers, the Health Ministry said. Most of the deaths occurred when security forces smashed two pro-Morsi sit-in camps in the capital. In the Nasr City district, 288 people were killed. The Health Ministry said 3,994 people were injured. After the police moved on the camps, street battles broke out across Egypt. Government buildings and police stations were attacked, roads were blocked, and Christian churches were torched, Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said. Now, with the crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood members by the Egyptian army, Islamist fanatics are taking out their frustrations on Coptic Christians. In the past few days, there has been a spate of attacks on Christian businesses, homes, and churches. As of Wednesday morning, according to local witnesses, at least 18 churches had been destroyed, and fires and riots were continuing to spread in Christian areas, the witnesses said. This is absolutely despicable, and it is turning out to be one of the worst disasters for Coptic Christians ever recorded. Over the past few days, Twitter has been absolutely flooded with reports about what has been happening to Christians in Egypt Using the hashtag #EgyChurch, Egyptian users of Twitter and other social networks broadcast messages like Cant keep up with the number of churches, Christian businesses, and affiliates being attacked by peaceful Muslim Brotherhood, Its clear the Copts are having their churches burnt, and This is quickly becoming the worst sectarian catastrophe weve seen in our lifetimes. Meanwhile, the violence in Iraq continues to escalate. The following is how Reuters described what happened in Baghdad on Thursday Car bomb attacks killed at least 34 people in Baghdad on Thursday but the Interior Ministry said it would not allow al Qaeda, which it blames for a surge in sectarian violence, to turn Iraq into another Syria. More than 100 people were wounded in at least eight blasts, one of which was near the Green Zone diplomatic complex, part of a wave of bloodshed that has taken the monthly death toll in Iraq to the highest levels in five years. Iraqs streets have become a battleground for sectarian people who are motivated by hatred and religious edicts and daring to kill innocent people, the Interior Ministry said in an unusually frank statement. It is our destiny to win this battle which is aimed at destroying the country and turning it into another Syria, the ministry said. And the absolutely brutal civil war in Syria is now spilling over into Lebanon. On Thursday, a Shiite stronghold in Beirut was hit by the worst car bomb attack that Lebanon has witnessed in decades A powerful car bomb tore through a bustling south Beirut neighborhood that is a stronghold of Hezbollah on Thursday, killing at least 18 and trapping dozens of others in an inferno of burning cars and buildings in the bloodiest attack yet on Lebanese civilians linked to Syrias civil war. The blast is the second in just over a month to hit one of the Shiite militant groups bastions of support, and the deadliest in decades. It raises the specter of a sharply divided Lebanon being pulled further into the conflict next door, which is being fought on increasingly sectarian lines pitting Sunnis against Shiites. And of course we shouldnt forget about the war in Yemen either. Sadly, asRon Paul recently noted, most Americans dont even realize what is going on in Yemen Most Americans are probably unaware that over the past two weeks the US has launched at least eight drone attacks in Yemen, in which dozens have been killed. It is the largest US escalation of attacks on Yemen in more than a decade. The US claims that everyone killed was a suspected militant, but Yemeni citizens have for a long time been outraged over the number of civilians killed in such strikes. The media has reported that of all those killed in these recent US strikes, only one of the dead was on the terrorist most wanted list. This significant escalation of US attacks on Yemen coincides with Yemeni President Hadis meeting with President Obama in Washington earlier this month. Hadi was installed into power with the help of the US government after a 2011 coup against its long-time ruler, President Saleh. It is in his interest to have the US behind him, as his popularity is very low in Yemen and he faces the constant threat of another coup. Unfortunately, this is probably only just the beginning. The violence in the Middle East is probably going to get much worse, and at some point I expect a major regional war to erupt in the years ahead. But instead of going back to the White House and at least giving the appearance of being on top of things, Obama plans to continue his golf vacation. This is so negligent thateven the Washington Post is ripping him to shreds In a sense, then, Obama might as well play golf. Hes dropped the ball on Egypt and the entire region, leaving the United States with few options and the Egyptian people toa bloody future in the short run and a repressiveauthoritarianjunta in the longer run. This is a policy failure of the highest order. But this is just par for the course for Obama. As we learned this week, this is the guy that was actually playing cards during the bin Laden raid Despite the picture the White House released showing President Obama intently watching the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, his former body mansays the president spent most of the raid playing a card game. Most people were like down in the Situation Room and [the president] was like, Im not going to be down there, I cant watch this entire thing. So he, myself, Pete Souza, the White House photographer, Marvin [Nicholson], we must have played 15 games of spades, former Obama aide Reggie Love said at an event in Los Angeles sponsored by The Artists Athletes Alliance in July. Love, who played college basketball and football at Duke University, left the White House in 2011 to attend business school. You can see video of Obamas former body man, Reggie Love, making these remarks right here. When it comes to foreign policy, Obama seems to be totally clueless. So what would happen someday if a major foreign policy crisis erupted that actually seriously threatened our national security? Would Obama be up to the task? Lets hope that we dont have to find out.

3	Nothing More To Talk About As US Suspends Bilateral Contact With Russia On Syria WarBy Baran Hines White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters on Monday that there is nothing more for the US and Russia to talk about in Syria. The most recent ceasefire agreement negotiated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Secretary of State John Kerry was scheduled to begin September 12 and has now officially collapsed after repeated incidents. On September 17, the United States coalition bombed Syrian troops fighting the Islamic State near the city of Deir Ezzor, killing more than 80 troops and wounding over 100. In response to that incident, which the US called an accident, Russia public accused the US of intentionally aiding the Islamic State. If previously we had suspicions that Al-Nusra Front is protected this way, now, after todays airstrikes on the Syrian army we come to a really terrifying conclusion for the entire world: The White House is defending IS [Islamic State, formerly ISIS/ISIL], Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Rossiya 24. The US and Russian military will continue to deconflict to avoid problems with their aircraft flying over Syria, US officials will withdraw staff tasked with the purpose of setting up the Joint Implementation Center (JIC) agreed to as part of the ceasefire. The JIC was designed to enable military cooperation between the two sides to target the Islamic State and the Al Nusra, the former opposition group which was declared a foreign terrorist organization in November 2012. The JIC would have been located in Geneva, Switzerland and would have allowed for sharing of intelligence between Russia and the US-led coalition fighting Islamic State. On Monday, Russia also suspended participation in a program for disposing of plutonium from decommissioned nuclear warheads. Russian officials noted the radical change in the environment, a threat to strategic stability posed by the hostile actions of the US against Russia, and the inability of the US to deliver on the obligation to dispose of excessive weapons plutonium under international treaties, as explanation for the decision.

Piece Prize Soetoro wants war and aims to get it no matter how many are killed. This has NOTHING to do with what Barry wants, and never has. Barry does as Barry is told. President Barry from Kenya is just a Central Bank Minion without a single original thought. The wars for world domination will continue as scheduled and all that refuse Zionist rule will be destroyed. Meanwhile the general public remains clueless, for the playbook is called the Talmud and it is not for the faint of heart but for pure evil. Ready for next stepsThat would be an international tribunal where all the globalists shall be tried Its unbelievable how they can lie with a straight face Tragic for the Syrian people. With recent news China will become a much bigger force in the UN Blue Helmets brigade, its possible this news is another sign there will be a rapid shift to UN oversight. Not good for freedom with a more prominent UN but maybe a break for Syria. The arrogance, duplicity and hubris of the US administration is not much constrained by the UN and Im not too sure that the Chinese would be able to save Syria from US/NATO mercenary thug squads. Syria will have its independence crushed and, by gwaud, if we have to incinerate this fkkng planet so be it!! If you go a lot further down the rabbit hole, Doug, youll find the US, UN, and China are controlled by the same cabal. This is a given for the majority of in-depth conspiracy researchers. What Im trying to say is given all the signs this cabal is now shifting gears to global governance (world govt) with the Chinese taking a bigger role in the UN police force, the IMF adding the yuan to the SDR effective Oct. 1, and Obama transferring internet protocols to ICANN also effective Oct. 1, the wealthy gulf oil nations overtly and rapidly implementing UN 2030, etc., we can posit the possibility the horrific crescendo of militarism in Syria points to an engineered inflection point for UN oversight in the near future. If you dont at least suspect (and I am certain I have strong evidence) that Russian elites are already NWO members in good standing doing their part in the dialectic to create global governance, then I can understand why my comment doesnt resonate as a scenario. Im happy to share my reasoning but its a lot of information, even distilled, and I imagine youve gotten glimpses of it in my past commentary. Anytime you want an overview of my perspective, Im at your service. Dear Blue, Ive learned a lot from reading your comments and I thank you for bringing your research and your thoughts into the mix here. I do get what youre saying about the global game for a Bolshevik technocratic tyranny and the addition of the yuan (renminbi?) to extend the BIS currency control system deeper into the Asian continent also effectively contains any possibility of BRICS forming a currency pole to oppose the BIS hegemony. A little traitorous by China? The Peoples Bank of China operating while the politicians were distracted elsewhere? The effect is Russia being a little more isolated. Russia may have a large contingent of elites of a certain caste operating around the state structures working for the NWO but in my opinion there will be elements in the Russian government who are repulsed by the fkkng Bolsheviks and I think they are the ones who are setting current Russian foreign policy. Hence the hysterics on Putin in the Anglo-Zionist serpent media. Unfortunately there are too few politicians in the west who have the insight or the guts to try to resist the Bolsheviks. Another tragedy is that there is just no one who will inform the US military personnel as to what it is they are sacrificing their lives for in the Middle East. Hey Doug, sorry it took so long for me to get back to this thread. I also wanted to thank you for your thoughtful comments. Im going to attempt to outline all the ways the Putin vertical of power political and economic system of control is intimately tied to the Zio-Global power elite, a historical pattern uninterrupted to present day. Also a reminder how the Syrian conflict was part of a psy op meme planted by global elite minion and close friend of the Clintons General Wesley Cohen-Clark (biological-adoptive surnames). At one time, Clark was even tapped by the establishment to make a run for POTUS, thus a very unlikely sympathetic whistle blower. Last year or so, Clark was skewered by the alt media for giving a televised interview in which he said he favored placing Americans who opposed the war on terror (thought criminals) in internment camps! Clark clearly showed his loyalties in that interview and yet, remarkably, the alt media didnt back pedal to deconstruct the intention of his statement on Syria. Heres my list of the aforementioned ties, with only a few examples for brevity. 1) Generations of US to USSR/Russia transfers of weapons and advanced military technology to close gaps; 2) 15 years of Russian troops training with American troops on American soil; 3) the cross selling of arms to both friends and foes by both nations, good example is the recently finalized Saudi purchase of a multibillion dollar air defense system from Russia, being negotiated the past couple of years (US 33% of global arms market and Russia second at 25%); 4) the direct collusion of the Soviets with US elites to initiate the Korean was as a UN police action to set two precedents first being a UN initiated war and second eliminating the US congressional role of authorizing entry into a war, repeated for the Vietnam war and in both wars Korean and Vietnamese soldiers fighting the Americans were being supplied vehicles from the Ford Gorki plant in Russia as parts flows from the US to Russia continued unabated during the war. 5) Theres also the incredibly deep economic integration of China and Russia with the west on the corporate and resource level (oil giants developing major projects together) along with billionaires of both nations placing much of their wealth in western investments, and their families also safely ensconced in the west living luxuriously owning multiple mansions. 6) The big Rothschild controlled grand daddy bank of all central banks, Bank of International Settlements, is the core of Russian and Chinese central banks, as it is with almost every nation on the planet. In fact theres a UN document online on the BRICS banking system titled A Dream Come True i.e. a UN dream of creating a world government multi-polar system, also echoed by a 1952 Rockefeller report describing their plan to shift from US hegemony to a consolidated global banker hegemony. 7) The final endgames of UN Agendas 21 and 2030 being rapidly implemented in Russia along with all other nations, even the poorer parts of Africa with globalists Zuckerberg and Gates et al working feverishly to ensure all areas of those nations are given the technology to hook up even most destitute of peasants to biometric RFID real time payment and tracking systems. Also, Gates is one of several powerful western elites, including Hillary Clinton, working on building Skolkovo, Russias version of Silicon Valley and a UN Sustainable Smart City. Something not being reported by alt media is the concerning trend this past year of both China and Russia cracking down hard on the mildest forms of dissent. Strangely, in the past decade both nations have been promoting a great resurgence of popularity of Mao and Stalin, respectively, also white washing the atrocities of purges of dissidents under these two leaders. Last month Putin said he didnt think the USSR should have been dismantled. After a small furor arose following the statement he clarified he meant it should have been reformedand at the very same time the Russian government announced Putin was resurrecting the old KGB apparatus, centralizing security forces with the first proposed name the same one used in the Stalin era. At its core, technocracy is hard core tehcno-totalitarian which leads me to wonder if these two nations arent being prepared for the next phase of global transformation. I believe the tragic conflict in Syria was engineered to be a smokescreen to create ISIS and eventually required UN oversight to rebuild the nation and act as a referee, as well, Syria has become a major distraction and tool of division in the west. As such, I havent found any good evidence to undermine my perspective, in fact, in the 6 hours or so I spend each day researching original documents and analyses I continue to come across information bolstering it. Believe me, I wish was I wrong and there was an entity or faction somewhere able to derail the dystopia being unveiled for the world. I look for solid signs for hope with wings but come up empty once I deconstruct specious new stories. I think its dangerous for the awakening masses to place the bulk of their energy into a false hope, waiting for a savior to stop the mad dash to a global gulag, a totalitarian system of tight control over every person. We need to get busy and help others see the freight train bearing down on us. Thats why I continue to do what I can to trigger a paradigm shift, hopefully on the road to a greater consciousness shift. Opposing violence and militarism isnt a mutually exclusive position to doing all we can to uncover great deceptions. I hope we can do both. My spirit is exhausted from this violence while I shudder at the thought of humanity locked forever in cages. Whew, thats a lot for you to digest. I hope it was mostly clear. It certainly is heartfelt. I share your feelings of abhorrence at the violent nature of mankind. We have to learn our way forward together. Im always open to learning from others, and grateful Take care, Doug, and thanks for sharing the song lyrics. Where civilization began, it will expire. BUT Americans AND Russians can STOP their governments from mutual annihilation. The objective of USA with NATO allies is regime change in Syria at any cost by using those barbaric killer terrorists to do their dirty jobs that killed thousand and thousand innocent civilians. Have nothing to do for human rights and democracy but the refusal of Assad government to support the Qatar pipeline gas project to Syria coast. Russia already know the game the USA play in Syria by pretending to fight those vicious terrorists. Only one practical solution is USA and NATO allies out of the country to bring peace and stability in Syria with severe warning of their airplanes to be shut down and the closer of Syria borders. Another great stride in the Obingo Administaration of Psychopaths and complete idiots. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b599fab0dd55e5ca993b136939cf65b35cb3bc816928204939159ca6369703ea.jpg If you would like WWIII, then you KNOW who to vote for: I am quite frankly ashamed of our government. They cant win, they cant compromise, they cant even keep their word. Who would enter into an agreement with our State Department? No one is that foolish anymore. The only thing to do now is to wait for the inevitable causus beli. We had the Tonkin Gulf incident, 911 and now??? Making money for the military-industrial complex is probably going to be the end of us all. Are pipelines and profits enough to justify the death and destruction about to be unleashed by TPTB? 10 million people gathered on the mall in DC would put an end to all the shenanigans by the government. We are all guilty of allowing the coming conflagration to happen. I guess we were just too busy. USA is loosing it, it became the less trusted nation on Earth even North Korea looks better. Unsurprisingly talks have broken down. How do you discuss anything with a demented parrot which just repeats one lie after another. At best you find something capable of bashing the goddamn parrots brains out, so you can at least think straight from then on. US Russia could cut out the middle-brain fugue by going across the Baring Sea that separate US-Alaska from Russia by 100 Miles. Then the Politicunts can put their mouth into the true reality act so that all populace can see who the true arslickers are. Bering Sea. It was always hard to buy the official story that the US had any interest in a political settlement in Syria. They showed no interest in a political settlement in Libya when it was offered and nothing has changed. The Syrian story is one of a dishonest American government arming, training and paying a mercenary army with US taxpayer dollars to overthrow an elected government. This was a crime against humanity and expecting the US could turn around having committed this crime and behave honourably, was hoping for something that never had a realistic chance of occurring. The hope now is for a military disaster to lead to a witch hunt that gets rid of the neocon lobby and clears the way for American politicians to return to a status where at least their word means something and they stop their crimes against humanity. Its clear the AmeriKaner that masquerades as secretary of state has a war agenda. Yes, taxation is an extortion racket! America has been caught Red Handed in funding, training and activating Terrorism both around the world and at Home the only thing left to do for the american people is to vote for the green party or anyone but Trump/Clinton.this is your country and it is up to you to change the politics in your country.. Im all in for this global tribunal Joe, sounds great. 
1	Calling it a 'real wake-up call,' local claims adjuster Paul Koda'wahya told reporters Monday that he has finally reached the age where he finds himself acting more and more like the male North American gray wolf who raised him. 'As a kid, you're embarrassed to see your dad constantly loping around and marking his territory with his distinctive-smelling urine, but then the next thing you know, you're peeing on low-lying bushes yourself,' Koda'wahya said. 'This morning I looked in the mirror and there was this bloody rabbit carcass hanging from my mouth. God, I'm such a clich.' Koda'wahya added that he needs to be careful as he gets older, because being relentlessly hunted to the point of extinction runs in his family. 
3	DHS Funded Report: Sovereign Citizens Greatest Threat To U.S.By Brandon Turbeville The agent who approached the gun shop discussed in my article was actually quoted as saying If you see some Middle Eastern guy come in. You dont have to be so worried about that. What were really looking for are people talking about being sovereign such as sovereign citizens or people talking about Big Government. At the time, I received a substantial amount of skepticism from those who found the agents words to be too unbelievable to be legitimate. However, with the revelation of a recent survey conducted by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), all doubt should be removed as to the veracity of the original report. This is because the START survey Understanding Law Enforcement Intelligence Processes, has determined that the Sovereign Citizen movement not Islamic extremism is the number one threat for domestic terrorism inside the United States. RT reports that the survey found that 52 percent of respondents agreed and 34 percent strongly agreed that sovereign citizens were a serious terrorist threat as opposed to 39 percent of respondents who agreed and 28 percent who strongly agreed that Islamic extremists were the most serious threat. To be fair, Islamic extremism was considered as one of the top three greatest threats to domestic internal security. Also in the top three, was the American Patriot Militia movement, a favorite target of the FBI for 25-30 years despite the fact that the American militia movement is only connected to terrorism in the fantastic realms of propaganda pushed by government agencies. The report reads that: First, law enforcement perceptions about what is a serious threat in their community has changed significantly over time. Law enforcement is much more concerned about sovereign citizens, Islamic extremists, and militia/patriot group members compared to the fringe groups of the far right, including Christian Identity believers, reconstructed traditionalists (i.e., Odinists), idiosyncratic sectarians (i.e., survivalists), and members of doomsday cults. In fact, sovereign citizens were the top concern of law enforcement, but the concern about whether most groups were a serious terrorist threat actually declined for most groups (e.g., the KKK; Christian Identity; Neo-Nazis; Racist Skinheads; Extremist Environmentalists; Extreme Animal Rights Extremists). This response, of course, is also interesting considering the fact that mainstream media outlets as well as politicians and other commentators have been promoting the idea that there is not only the possibility but the probability that terrorist attacks will occur here in the United States and in Europe as a result of Western-backed death squad fighters returning from the battlefield in Syria and other locations. Other groups considered potential domestic terrorists include 1. Sovereign Citizens 2. Islamic Extremists/Jihadists 3. Militia/Patriot 4. Racist Skinheads 5. Neo-Nazis 6. Extreme Animal Rightists 7. Extreme Environmentalists 8. Ku Klux Klan 9. Left-wing Revolutionaries 10. Extreme Anti-Abortion 11. Black Nationalists 12. Extreme Anti-Tax 13. Extreme Anti-Immigration 14. Christian Identity 15. Idiosyncratic Sectarians 16. Reconstructed Traditions According to RT The officers surveyed said the most useful law enforcement entities in combating terrorism include state/local fusion centers, the FBIs Joint Terrorism Task Force(s), the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Securitys Office of Intelligence and Analysis. In addition, the officers said that the most valuable open-source materials they use to gather information are the Internet, human intelligence sources, and the media. START is funded by the US Department of Homeland Security with an initial $12 million grant in 2005 which was subsequently renewed in 2008. The DHS Science and Technology Directorate supports START but the program also receives funding from other agencies, universities, and private organizations. Regardless of what one may think of the Sovereign Citizen movement, the fact is that the Homeland Security police state behemoth that was justified under the pretext of protecting Americans from Islamic extremism and al-Qaeda (which is funded and directed by the very same government), is now fully turned inward toward the American people and all who may dissent from the dictates of the State.

2	Hillary Body Double Emerges Minutes After Collapse... Shes Trying To Fool Americans [VIDEO] By now, the entire nation has seen the shocking footage of Hillary Clinton collapsing as she left the 9/11 memorial in New York City on Sunday. Just 45 minutes after the clip, Clinton emerged from her daughter Chelseas Manhattan apartment to hug a little girl who asked for a photo. The bizarre interaction was inconsistent with an announcement from the Clinton campaign that Hillary was battling a contagious disease of Pneumonia. Now, rumors are circulating that the person who left Chelseas apartment may not have been Clinton at all. Instead, it may have been her longtime body double, Teresa Barnwell. Some of pointed out that the Hillary who walked out of Chelseas apartment was slightly thinner and younger than the Democratic presidential nominee usually appears to be. One of the most interesting parts of the video of the potential Clinton body double is the absence of anyone around her, Inquisitr reported. All through her 2016 campaign, Clinton has always been surrounded by an entourage. The majority of the entourage that are attached to Clinton are members of the Secret Service. No agents are seen with Clinton as she exits the apartment building. When have you ever seen Hillary Clinton with no one around her? 61-year-old Barnwell has been coached to act and sound just like Clinton since the 1990s, when she quit her job in advertising to become a Clinton impersonator. 
1	At a press conference Monday, U.S. Retro Secretary Anson Williams issued a strongly worded warning of an imminent 'national retro crisis,' cautioning that 'if current levels of U.S. retro consumption are allowed to continue unchecked, we may run entirely out of past by as soon as 2005.' Retro-Chart According to Williamsbest known to most Americans as 'Potsie' on the popular, '50s-nostalgia-themed 1970s sitcom Happy Days before being named head of the embattled Department of Retro by President Clinton in 1992the U.S.'s exponentially decreasing retro gap is in danger of achieving parity with real-time historical events early in the next century, creating what leading retro experts call a 'futurified recursion loop,' or 'retro-present warp,' in the world of American pop-cultural kitsch appreciation. Such a warp, Williams said, was never a danger in the past due to the longtime, standard two-decade-minimum retro waiting period. 'However, the mid-'80s deregulation of retro under the Reagan Administration eliminated that safeguard,' he explained, 'leaving us to face the threat of retro-ironic appreciation being applied to present or even future events.' 'We are talking about a potentially devastating crisis situation in which our society will express nostalgia for events which have yet to occur,' Williams told reporters. The National Retro Clock currently stands at 1990, an alarming 74 percent closer to the present than 10 years ago, when it stood at 1969. Nowhere is the impending retro crisis more apparent, Williams said, than in the area of popular music. 'To the true retrophile, disco parties and the like were common 10 years ago. Similarly, retro-intelligentsia have long viewed 'New Wave' and even late-'80s hair-metal retro as pass and no longer amusing as kitsch,' Williams said. 'We now face the unique situation of '90s retro, as evidenced by the current Jane's Addiction reunion tour: nostalgia for the decade in which we live.' 'Before long,' Williams warned, 'the National Retro Clock will hit 1992, and we will witness a massive grunge-retro explosion, which will overlap with the late-period, mainstream-pop remnants of the original grunge movement itself. For the first time in history, a phenomenon and nostalgia for that particular phenomenon will actually meet.' 'In other words, to quote '90s-retro kitsch figure David Lynch,' Williams said, ''One of these days that gum you like is going to come back in style.'' Anthropologists hold that retro began some 40,000 years ago with the early hominids' mental projection of trace infantile-dependency memories into a mythical 'golden age.' Continuing with the Renaissance's rediscovery of Greco-Roman homoeroticism and the mass 'Egyptology' fashions of the Victorian Age, retro had, prior to this century, always been separated from the present age by a large buffer of intermediate history. Since 1900, however, the retro parabolic curve has soared exponentially, with some generations experiencing several different forms of retro within a single lifetime. 'This rapidly shrinking gap between retro and the present day is like a noose closing ever tighter around the neck of American kitsch,' said Harvard University professor of American culture Louis I. Szilard, 'or, if you will, a warning light, similar to the electric buzzer-nose of the naked fat man in the Milton Bradley fun and skill game 'Operation.'' The Department of Retro warning comes on the heels of its 750-page Report On Nostalgia Viability And Past-Depletion Reduction Strategies, which examined the effects of the ever-increasing co-option of retro trends by the mainstream. According to the report, retro-kitsch aestheticspreviously the domain of a tiny group of forward-thinking, backward-looking alterna-hipsters, or 'retro-cognoscenti'have become so prevalent in the national pop-culture psyche over the last decade that they have been absorbed into the marketing strategies of major retail chains and mass-media promotional campaigns. Cited as an example is Entertainment Weekly's 'Dance Hits Of The '70s' free-with-subscription CD giveaway, which boldly includes the slogan 'Retro's Hot!' Such mainstreaming of retro, the report warned, has forced the hipster-elite element that formerly dominated the retro world to seek increasingly current forms of retro, a trend which threatens to consume the nation's past reserves faster than new past can be created. The severity of the coming retro crisis, Williams said, is compounded by the increasing complexity of modern retro, evidenced in current youths' skewed perceptions of older generations who themselves were born and raised in a retro-aware environment. 'In the '70s, baby boomers enjoyed an escape from turbulence and social upheaval through a '50s-retro romanticization of the sock-hops and drive-ins of their teenage years,' Williams said. 'Yet today, '70s-retro-conscious Gen Xers now look upon pop-cultural figures of that '50s retro trend, such as myself and my close advisor, actor Donny Most, as '70s retro figures in our own right, viewing us not as idealized youth archetypes but rather as irony-tinged whimsical representations of cheesy, 'square' adulthooda form of self-referential meta-retro that science still does not fully understand.' It is hoped, Williams said, that such meta-retro recycling of older forms of retro may function as a safety valve to widen the retro gap. 'Department of Retro officials are closely studying new developments in meta-retro,' Williams said, 'including a dance sequence in the new film Boogie Nights, which is simultaneously a '70s retro allusion to Saturday Night Fever and a late-'80s retro allusion to the Beastie Boys' seminal '70s retro video 'Hey Ladies'an homage to an homage, if you will. While all the facts are still not in, this much is clear: Now, more than ever, we must conserve our precious pop-cultural past, for it is our future.'

The long-heated debate about PP was escalated following an episode of CNNs The Lead with Jake Tapper, on which Carson addressed rumors of the organization harvesting and selling fetal organs. I thought they were supposed to be able to get all of these things based on Obamacare, Carson commented, referring to lower income citizens. Why do we need Planned Parenthood? Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens of the organization came forward to address a series of videos that exposed her organization, calling them a grossly offensive act. She also went on to claim that PP provides essential womens health care where patients are not subject to threats, harassment, and intimidation. Carson made an excellent that all of the services she mentioned are available through multiple other sources. He went on to suggest that Americans are supporting an organization that doesnt seem to understand the sanctity of human life and is willing to destroy that. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think. Do you support Carson? 
3	Where Do the 2016 Candidates Stand on Real Voter Issues?By Catherine J. Frompovich The last two general election cycles, I think, left some voters a little shell-shocked, especially since very little was addressed, or investigated satisfactorily, regarding their then-quite vocal concerns, e.g., an apparent false, recently-produced Photoshop-like birth certificate and the eligibility of a candidate to become president, etc. Additionally, there were other issues: Jobs, balanced budgets, immigration, foreign policy, healthcare, the role of government, marriage, the Supreme Court, energy and education [1], all of which ran aground and still haunt us today. This coming election cycle has many of the old issues stated above, since no one in federal government seems to want to resolve them. Additionally, much more dire problems present themselves, which need immediate attention, plus resolution, because of the calamitous effects they portend for humankind, the environment and Planet Earth. Since no wannabee is talking about them, Id like to list somethere are othersand suggest that consumers and voters contact each candidate in all parties to ask him or her to address them by placing voters issues into candidates official platforms and to discuss them now and over the months leading up to the conventions in the summer of 2016. #1 Chemtrails and Weather Geoengineering must be stopped to save the Planet from ecological disaster! See this link for an explanation of why this is number 1. #2 Genetically Modified Phood must be labeled in the USA. See this link for the reasons we need GMO labeling in the USA, especially when most of the worlds countries have labeling or even have banned GMO phood. #3 Vaccines/Vaccinations must be voluntarily accepted by consumer-informed-consent and choice, rather than mandated by law. Where there are health risks, which vaccines produce and are verified by the CDCs VAERS reports, there must be choice! These links provide legitimate reasons and concerns why vaccines must be made volunteer rather than statutorily mandatory: http://thinktwice.com/secret.htm; and http://www.mercola.com/article/vaccines/neurological_damage.htm; and http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org/2014/11/18/the-greater-harm-by-shawn-siegel/; and the Vaccine Court Claimants Awards http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/vicpmonthlyoctober15.pdf. #4 The Affordable Care Act, aka ObamaCare, must be made affordable or ditched in favor of better healthcare insurance and services for those on Medicare and Medicaid, including the general public, especially those who lost their healthcare insurance because of the ACA. Furthermore, ObamaCare co-ops are going bankrupt, which means thousands more will lose healthcare insurance. See this link. #5 How will you Expose and Eliminate the Shadow Government running the USA? This link explains the secret rule. #6 What Will You Do About the Federal Reserve? Investigative journalist James Corbett defines the financial enslavement that U.S. citizens experience due to the Federal Reserve in this documentary. #7 Who Will You Appoint as Your Cabinet Members, including whats known as the Kitchen Cabinet, i.e., close personal advisers? This explains more. #8 Who would be your choice as a Supreme Court justice? This link explains why we are concerned. #9 Do you believe the U.S. Constitution supersedes all signed treaties that were designed to relinquish USA governance over to a global government under the auspices of a one world government run by the United Nations? See this link to understand whats going on: and this plus this. #10 Will you produce and publish your Birth Certificate to prove that you are eligible to be President of the USA in accordance with the U.S. Constitution? The USA cannot experience another ludicrous and preventable embarrassment like this. Citizens, consumers and voters must impress upon every candidate seeking office at every level of federal and state governments that we no longer will tolerate lies, warmongering, and the USA looking and acting like a Banana Republic. The next administration must be aboveboard with every potential candidate vetted publicly before we vote for him or her. We have learned our lessons from 2008 and 2012; its time for change!

Gets Nasty Surprise Instead [VIDEO] Following the tragic shooting at Umpqua Community College, President Obama was quick to step into the media spotlight and push his gun control message. At the end of this week, Obama headed to Roseburg, the home of the tragedy, to meet with family members of the victim. Unfortunately for POTUS, he did not get the warm welcome he was expecting. Chris Mintz has become the hero in the tragic incident, after being shot seven times trying to stop the shooter. We know that Obama was hoping to get a photo with Mintz, but Douglas Country Commisioner Chris Boice claims that isnt going to happe. I was fortunate enough to go in and visit with Chris Mintz and hear his story and what an amazing young man, just an extremely humble individual, Boice told reporters. And when I mentioned to him that the president is coming he was not real excited about getting involved in the political part of this thing either, but humbled by the fact that the president of the United States would e interested in coming to visit with himMy understanding is he hasnt spoken with anyone from the White House yet and hes not really interested in doing that. What do you think? Do you blame Roseburg for their anger at Obama and his intentions to push his own agenda? 
2	See What The Chattanooga Shooter Was Training To Do In America As if the Chattanooga shooting wasnt scary enough, its just been announced that the man responsible for opening fire at two military facilities and killing four Marines comes from a background in terrorism. Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was studying engineering at the time of the attack. He reportedly worked and lived or a time in Northeast Ohio, where he worked at Perry Nuclear Power Plant for 10 days, Investigator Tom Meyer told WKYC. According to FirstEnergy, Abdulazeez ultimately left the plant after it was revealed that he did not have the minimum requirements to maintain employment. In the ten days during the screening process, he was classified as a conditional employee, a spokeswoman for the company told reporters. Abdulazeez and other applications attended general training classes at the plants administration building while FirstEnergy did background checks. The company went on to claim that Abdulazeez did not have access to any secret documents, although he was inside the plant. They maintain that he was received like any member of the public. What do you think of Abdulazeez true background? Should he have ever been allowed in the plant in the first place? 
2	Kaepernick Just Got The Worst Surprise Any Pro Football Player Could Receive For Disrespecting Our Vets San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was getting ready to kneel during the national anthem before the game against the Buffalo Bills, when a loud chant of USA, USA rang out at the New Era Field. Kaepernick has outraged patriots for months now for deciding to protest racial inequality by refusing to honor this important tradition. Still, Kaepernick knelt during the anthem for the first time before a regular-season game. He was joined by Eric Reid and Eli Harold. After Kaepernicks team suffered an embarrassing loss, Kaepernick denied that his actions have anything to do with being un-American. I dont understand whats un-American about fighting for liberty and justice for everybody, for the equality this country says it stands for, Kaepernick argued. To me, I see it as very patriotic and American to uphold the United States to the standards that it says it lives by. During the game, a fan at the stadium tweeted that someone threw a bottle at Kaepernick, who claimed not to notice. Vendors outside of the game were reportedly selling anti-Kaepernick shirts. At the end of the day, Im going to continue to fight for what Im fighting for, he told reporters. What do you think? Are you tired of Kaepernick disrespecting this country? 
1	Treating the frail, long-overlooked structures with an unparalleled display of compassion, Pope Francis reportedly inspired a crowd of onlookers Friday by laying his hands upon the ailing United States infrastructure. My heart just melted when I watched the pope interrupt his address to walk over and gently embrace this disfigured bridge cross-girder that was covered in unsightly rust, said New York City resident John Reedy, one of thousands of observers reportedly moved to tears as the pontiff reached out to the weak and crippled metal framework, gingerly kissed the decayed surface, and then closed his eyes while blessing the neglected overpass. Most people turn the other way when they see such mangled, hopeless infrastructure, but he showed it such tenderness and attention, like he was really willing it to heal. Who knowsmaybe God will intervene and save these decrepit structures. At press time, the Vicar of Christ reportedly called upon the crowd to pray for the swift and painless passing of the terminally ill education system he had recently encountered. 
2	VIDEO: Country Singers Interrupt Muslim Prayer Time With Song Blasting Islam It has become increasingly clear that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria is intent on conquering America, and reports reveal that their supports have called on members to launch attacks on Americans from inside the US. Now, there is little question whether ISIS has a presence in America. Members and supporters are already organizing terror cells and recruitment centers, and it seems imminent that they will follow through on their threats. Still, Americans are starting to make it clear that they will not bow down to jihadists, or run away from their threats. And two country singers just wrote a song summing up the attitude that ISIS will face if they attack the US, according to Mad World News. Singers Larry Gatlin and Billy Dean just recorded a short view showing a song called An American with a Remington. The song is aimed at ISIS and ISIL, warning them that they will face resistance from Americans, likely in the form of the barrel of a gun. The video has already reached millions of Americans. What do you think of the song? 
3	Federal Reserve Money Printing Is The Real Reason Why The Stock Market Is SoaringMichael Snyder, Contributor Of course not. Just because the Federal Reserve has inflated another false stock market bubble with a bunch of funny money does not mean that the U.S. economy is in great shape. In fact, the truth is that things just keep getting worse for average Americans. The percentage of working age Americans with a job has fallen from 60.6% to 58.6% while Barack Obama has been president, 40 percent of all American workers are making $20,000 a year or less, median household income has declined for four years in a row, and poverty in the United States is absolutely exploding. So quantitative easing has definitely not made things better for the middle class. But all of the money printing that the Fed has been doing has worked out wonderfully for Wall Street. Profits are soaring at Goldman Sachs and luxury estates in the Hamptons are selling briskly. Unfortunately, this is how things work in America these days. Our leaders seem far more concerned with the welfare of Wall Street than they do about the welfare of the American people. When things get rocky, their first priority always seems to be to do whatever it takes to pump up the financial markets. When QE3 was announced, it was heralded as the grand solution to all of our economic problems. But the truth is that those running things knew exactly what it would do. Quantitative easing always pumps up the financial markets, and that overwhelmingly benefits those that are wealthy. It said that the Bank of Englands policies of quantitative easing similar to the Feds had benefited mainly the wealthy. Specifically, it said that its QE program had boosted the value of stocks and bonds by 26 percent, or about $970 billion. It said that about 40 percent of those gains went to the richest 5 percent of British households. Many said the BOEs easing added to social anger and unrest. Dhaval Joshi, of BCA Research wrote that QE cash ends up overwhelmingly in profits, thereby exacerbating already extreme income inequality and the consequent social tensions that arise from it. So should we be surprised that stocks are now the highest that they have been in more than 5 years? And who benefits from this? The wealthy do. In fact, 82 percent of all individually held stocks are owned by the wealthiest 5 percent of all Americans. Unfortunately, all of this reckless money printing has a very negative impact on the rest of us. When the Fed floods the financial system with money, that causes inflation. That means that the cost of living has gone up even though your paycheck may not have. If you go to the supermarket frequently, you know exactly what I am talking about. The new sale prices are what the old regular prices used to be. They keep shrinking many of the package sizes in order to try to hide the inflation, but I dont think many people are fooled. Our food dollars are not stretching nearly as far as they used to, and we can blame the Federal Reserve for that. For much more on rising prices in America, please see this article: Somebody Should Start The Stuff Costs Too Much Party. Sadly, this is what the Federal Reserve does. The system was designed to create inflation. Before the Federal Reserve came into existence, the United States never had an ongoing problem with inflation. But since the Fed was created, the United States has endured constant inflation. In fact, we have come to accept it as normal. Just check out the amazing chart in the video posted below The chart in that video kind of reminds me of a chart that I shared in a previous article Actually, despite all of the reckless money printing that the Fed has been doing, I expect that at some point we are going to see another wave of panic hit the financial markets like we saw back in 2008. 1 A derivatives panic hits the too big to fail banks. 2 Financial markets all over the globe crash. 3 The credit markets freeze up. 4 Economic activity in the United States starts to grind to a halt. 5 Unemployment rises above 20 percent and mortgage defaults soar to unprecedented levels. 6 Tax revenues fall dramatically and austerity measures are implemented by the federal government, state governments and local governments. 7 The rest of the globe rapidly loses confidence in the U.S. financial system and begins to dump U.S. debt and U.S. dollars. I write about derivatives a lot, because they are one of the greatest threats that the global financial system is facing. In fact, right now a derivatives scandal is threatening to take down the oldest bank in the world Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, the worlds oldest bank, was making loans when Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were young men and before Columbus sailed to the New World. The bank survived the Italian War, which saw Sienas surrender to Spain in 1555, the Napoleonic campaign, the Second World War and assorted bouts of plague and poverty. But MPS may not survive the twin threats of a gruesomely expensive takeover gone bad and a derivatives scandal that may result in legal action against the banks former executives. After five centuries of independence, MPS may have to be nationalized as its losses soar and its value sinks. In response to the coming financial crisis, I believe that our leaders will eventually resort to money printing unlike anything we have ever seen before in a desperate attempt to resuscitate the system. When that happens, I believe that we will see the kind of rampant inflation that so many people have been warning about. So what do you think about all of this? Do you believe that Federal Reserve money printing is the real reason why the stock market is soaring?

2	He Thought They Left Him A $20 Tip, But Instead Found THIS Hiding Inside Garret Wayman, a teenager from Kansas, was working in a restaurant trying to pay off his student debt. As many of you know, waiters receive most of their money through tips. When Wayman saw a $20 left under the ketchup bottle, he was ecstatic, as getting a $20 tip at the restaurant I work at is very, very rare. Im 17 years old, $7,000 in debt because I had to buy myself a car, juggling full-time school, and working 7 days a week. When he opened up the $20, he realized it was fake, and inside was a pamphlet with reasons of why he should be practicing Christian faith. We support Christianity 100%. However, this was wrong, and not at all the way to spread the faith. This teen probably makes just a few dollars an hour (plus tips). What the customer should have done was at least leave an actual tip inside the pamphlet. When Wayman posted this to social media, it went viral. Many offered to pay him the $20 he never received. Its good to know there are still amazing people in this world. Would you be mad if this happened to you? 
2	They Called Her Racist For Her BET Awards Take Down... So Then She Did THIS Tomi Lahren has been taking some serious heat following her criticism of the BET awards for what she deemed an enshrinement of black victimhood and racism. Despite the backlash, she is not backing down. Here it goes again, I call out a race bait and Im black Twitter public enemy No. 1. Oh, bring it on, Lahren began on a recent segment. Half-white Jesse Williams stands up at the BET awards and bashes white people for being white and Im the racist? OK, sure. If hes half white is he half racist? Im not pressed or angry black people gettin woke, Im all for it, Lahren continued, quoting some of her dissenters directly. But youre telling me it takes a stupid BET award speech or a Super Bowl performance by entertainers to empower you? And what exactly are you getting woke to do? Thats what I dont get. Lahren then went on to explain that she acknowledges racism as an issue in this country, which is why she chooses to comment on it. I talk about race and race baiting because, quite frankly, most white people are afraid to, she argued. They dont want to say something wrong and offend anyone, or heaven forbid be labeled a racist. I dont play that game. According to Lahren, she believes that black Americans are just as powerful and capable as anyone else in this country, and handing them a gold star is demeaning and insulting. I dont think black Americans are weak, I dont think youre victims. I think youre strong proud and free Americans, just like the rest of the people in this country, she concluded. I dont think you need special treatment or gold stars for your existence. Thats insulting to you as individuals. What do you think of Lahrens comments? 
2	BREAKING: FBI Comes Crashing Down On Hillary... Its All Over Now Somehow, Hillary Clinton appears to have survived a grueling primary season, but her troubles are far from over. Despite repeated claims that she did nothing wrong regarding her private email server, the FBI has been engaged in a criminal investigation into the case. Now, reports indicate that the FBI has just filed a motion in federal court declaring that everything that was contained on Clintons private server and email accounts is potential evidence of criminal wrongdoing. All of the materials retrieved from any electronic equipment obtained from former Secretary Clinton for the investigation are evidence, potential evidence, or information that has not yet been assessed for evidentiary value, a portion of the filing by the FBI read. The document added that any release to the public of these materials could reasonably be expected to interfere with the pending investigation. This is pretty blatant evidence that having a private server was a crime in the FBIs opinion in the first place, regardless of intent or whether Hillary was hacked. However, the FBI would neither confirm or deny any of the outstanding questions pertaining to the investigation, including information about what laws may have been broken. Now, as an outcome of this filing, a halt will be put on the various FOIA lawsuits and open records requests regarding the emails of Hillary and her top aides, as those documents will be considered evidence. That means that we will be waiting on the FBI to wrap up their investigation. What do you think of these reports?

2	The Great State Of Texas Stops Giving Birth Certificates To Babies Of Illegal Immigrants In his short time campaigning for president, Donald Trump has brought several pertinent issues to light. Among these issues is the prevalence of illegal immigrants coming into the United States to give birth to children and grant them citizenship. Now, several Texas counties are refusing to issue birth certificates for children that are born to undocumented parents. This policy could now threaten the states relationship with Mexico, the country warns. The notice was released in a brief filed in support of illegal immigrant parents who are suing Texas after being denied birth certificates for their children. The refusal came even after they provided ID cards used by the Mexican Consulate. Texas, however, maintains that consulate-issued identification can be unreliable. What do you think? Is Texas wrong in denying citizenship? 
1	In an effort to counter the highest unemployment rate the nation has faced in a quarter century, Barack Obama announced Monday that he will create 17 new jobs by resigning from the presidency to pursue his lifelong dream of opening a cozy little down-home restaurant just off the Galesburg, IL exit on Interstate 74. 'Now is the time for drastic measures, and the several line-cook and serving positions that will be generated by Barry's Place are imperative to getting the economy back on track,' said Obama, donning a white apron over rolled-up shirtsleeves. 'The hope is that this bold initiative will demonstrate to other American business owners that it is possible to break the cycle after they somehow get sucked into politics and things snowball so fast that they lose sight of what's really important, like serving people the best slice of pecan pie they've ever tasted at a price that can't be beat.' Vice President Joe Biden has reportedly followed Obama's entrepreneurial lead by purchasing a secondhand cologne and condom vending machine that will be installed in the men's bathroom of a Wilmington, DE offtrack betting parlor. 
3	How Government Policies Hurt Low-Wage WorkersDr. Ron Paul Raising minimum wages by government decree appeals to those who do not understand economics. This appeal is especially strong during times of stagnant wages and increased economic inequality. But raising the minimum wage actually harms those at the bottom of the income ladder. Basic economic theory teaches that when the price of a good increases, demand for that good decreases. Raising the minimum wage increases the price of labor, thus decreasing the demand for labor. So an increased minimum wage will lead to hiring freezes and layoffs. Unskilled and inexperienced workers are the ones most often deprived of employment opportunities by increases in the minimum wage. Minimum wage laws are not the only example of government policies that hurt those at the bottom of the income scale. Many regulations that are promoted as necessary to rein in large corporations actually hurt small businesses. Because these small businesses operate on a much narrower profit margin, they cannot as easily absorb the costs of complying with the regulations as large corporations. These regulations can also inhibit lower income individuals from starting their own businesses. Thus, government regulations can reduce the demand for wage-labor, while increasing the supply of labor, which further reduces wages. It is not just that higher incomes can afford the higher prices caused by Federal Reserve. The system is set up in a way that disadvantages those at the bottom of the income scale. When the Federal Reserve creates money, those well-connected with the political and financial elites receive the newly-created money first, before general price increases have spread through the economy. And most fast-food employees do not number among the well-connected. It is not a coincidence that economic inequality has increased in recent years, as the Federal Reserve has engaged in unprecedented money creation and bailouts of big banks and Wall Street financial firms. As billionaire investor Donald Trump has said, the Federal Reserves quantitative easing policies are a great deal for people like me. And former Federal Reserve official Andrew Huszar has called QE the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time. Many so-called champions of economic equality and fairness for the working class are preparing to confirm Janet Yellen as next Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Yet Yellen is committed to continuing and even expanding, the upward redistributionist polices of her predecessors. Washington could use more sound economic thinking and less demagoguery. By increasing unemployment, government policies like minimum wage laws only worsen inequality. Those who are genuinely concerned about increasing the well-being of all Americans should support repeal of all laws, regulations, and taxes that inhibit job creation and economic mobility. Congress should also end the most regressive of all taxes, the inflation tax, by ending the Federal Reserve.

1	Local airhead Tara Shore, a newly enrolled student at James Sprunt Community College, announced Monday that she 'totally want[s] to work with kids.' Kenansville, NC, airhead Tara Shore, who says she has 'so much' to give to children. 'Children are so important because, if you think about it, they're our future,' the 20-year-old Shore said. 'Kids have the biggest hearts, and if we just give them the freedom to dream and explore, they may even grow up to run the country someday.' After graduating from Kenansville High School in May 1998 in the top 70 percent of her class, the ditz spent 18 months working as a hostess at an Applebee's restaurant in nearby Everton. 'I really loved my job,' said Shore, moving her scrunchie from her ponytail to her wrist. 'That's because I love working with people, which is what I got to do at Applebee's, and I met all sorts of people, because all different kinds of people come to eat at restaurants. But what I really, really, really want to do is work with younger people, like children.' Deciding it was time to make her move, on Jan. 10, Shore matriculated at JSCC. 'I went back to school so I could reach out and give something of myself to others,' Shore said. 'By devoting my life to kids, I'll get the opportunity to touch so many lives.' JSCC academic advisor Rita Yeardley is assisting Shore in her pursuit. 'I got Tara signed up for some basic requirement classes this semester, and I told her that later she can decide between certified daycare, K-3 education, or even physical therapy or nursing with a emphasis on pediatrics,' Yeardley said. 'That's a lot of different options, and she seemed a little confused when I ran through them, so I may have to go over it with her again at some point.' To her advantage, Shore already has 'tons' of experience working with children. 'My sister Megan has two kids, Ashley and Andrew, and I just love them to pieces,' Shore said. 'Whenever Megan goes out, I babysit for her, and me and Ashley and Andrew just have a complete blast. Sometimes, I seriously think I have more fun playing with blocks and coloring than they do. I just get so into it. My friends say I'm still totally a six-year-old at heart.' According to Shore, adults have just as much to learn from children as children do from adults. 'Some people think that just because kids are young, they aren't very smart. But that's not true,' Shore said. 'They know all sorts of things. Like, there's this little boy who lives next door to me, and he was telling me all these facts about the stars and the planets and stuff. I was like, 'You should totally grow up to be an astrologer! I know you can. I believe in you.'' 'I don't agree with Hillary Clinton about how it takes a village to raise a child,' Shore added. 'I think kids can grow up anywhere, even in the city, just as long as there are parents and grown-ups around to help guide them.' Shore said she plans have a child of her own someday. 'I grew up in a family, so I'd definitely want one of my own at some point,' the airhead said. 'Of course, I'm not ready to have a kid right now or anything. They're such a huge responsibility.' Shore's boyfriend, Rodney Ingersoll, a 21-year-old physical-therapy major at JSCC, said he supports her '100 percent.' 'People assume that because Tara's so hot, she's not deep,' Ingersoll said. 'But once you talk to her, you find out there's a lot going on inside. She could have any job she wants, but she's choosing to help children. That's so cool of her.' Best of all, Shore's goal of working with children is compatible with Ingersoll's dream of one day moving to Hawaii. 'I just love the water. It's like I was born to be in the water,' Shore said. 'Hawaii is so magical and tropical, it's like you're in a whole different country or something. Plus, I'm sure they have kids there, so I could realize all of my career dreams and still get an amazing tan.' 
2	BREAKING: Iran Military Captures Two U.S. Navy Ships, Negotiations Taking Place NOW 10 sailors have been take captive by Iran, along with two U.S. ships. Iranian military forces seized two U.S. Navy boats Tuesday and are holding them in custody on Irans Farsi Island in the middle of the Persian Gulf, senior U.S. officials told NBC News. Officials said its unclear whether the 10 American sailors who were aboard one of the small riverine boats had strayed into Iranian territorial waters before they were captured. The officials said the Americans were on a training mission around noon ET when their boat experienced mechanical difficulty and drifted into Iranian-claimed waters and were seized by Iranian Coast guard. Secretary of State John Kerry has been on the phone with Iranian officials in Tehran attempting to gain the release. One senior official told NBC News the Iranians understand it was a mistake and have agreed to release the Americans in international waters within hours. Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told The Associated Press that the boats were moving between Kuwait and Bahrain when the US lost contact with them. Cook says, We have been in contact with Iran and have received assurances that the crew and the vessels will be returned promptly. (Source: NBC News) You never know whats going to happen with Iran. Pray for the safe release of the crew. Do you think Iran will follow through with their word? 
3	Fleecing the American Taxpayer: The Profit Incentives Driving the Police StateBy John Whitehead If there is an absolute maxim by which the federal government seems to operate, it is that the American taxpayer always gets ripped off. This is true whether youre talking about taxpayers being forced to fund high-priced weaponry that will be used against us, endless wars that do little for our safety or our freedoms, or bloated government agencies such as the National Security Agency with its secret budgets, covert agendas and clandestine activities. Rubbing salt in the wound, even monetary awards in lawsuits against government officials who are found guilty of wrongdoing are paid by the taxpayer. Not only are American taxpayers forced to spend more on state, municipal, and federal taxes than the annual financial burdens of food, clothing, and housing combined, but were also being played as easy marks by hustlers bearing the imprimatur of the government. With every new tax, fine, fee and law adopted by our so-called representatives, the yoke around the neck of the average American seems to tighten just a little bit more. Everywhere you go, everything you do, and every which way you look, were getting swindled, cheated, conned, robbed, raided, pickpocketed, mugged, deceived, defrauded, double-crossed and fleeced by governmental and corporate shareholders of the American police state out to make a profit at taxpayer expense. The overt and costly signs of the despotism exercised by the increasingly authoritarian regime that passes itself off as the United States government are all around us: warrantless surveillance of Americans private phone and email conversations by the NSA; SWAT team raids of Americans homes; shootings of unarmed citizens by police; harsh punishments meted out to schoolchildren in the name of zero tolerance; drones taking to the skies domestically; endless wars; out-of-control spending; militarized police; roadside strip searches; roving TSA sweeps; privatized prisons with a profit incentive for jailing Americans; fusion centers that collect and disseminate data on Americans private transactions; and militarized agencies with stockpiles of ammunition, to name some of the most appalling. Meanwhile, the three branches of government (Executive, Legislative and Judicial) and the agencies under their commandDefense, Commerce, Education, Homeland Security, Justice, Treasury, etc.have switched their allegiance to the Corporate State with its unassailable pursuit of profit at all costs and by any means possible. As a result, we are now ruled by a government consumed with squeezing every last penny out of the population and seemingly unconcerned if essential freedoms are trampled in the process. As with most things, if you want to know the real motives behind any government program, follow the money trail. When you dig down far enough, as I document in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, you quickly find that those who profit from Americans being surveilled, fined, scanned, searched, probed, tasered, arrested and imprisoned are none other than the police who arrest them, the courts which try them, the prisons which incarcerate them, and the corporations, which manufacture the weapons, equipment and prisons used by the American police state. Examples of this legalized, profits-over-people, government-sanctioned extortion abound. In the schools: The security industrial complex with its tracking, spying, and identification devices has set its sights on the schools as a vast, rich marketa $20 billion market, no lessjust waiting to be conquered. In fact, the public schools have become a microcosm of the total surveillance state which currently dominates America, adopting a host of surveillance technologies, including video cameras, finger and palm scanners, iris scanners, as well as RFID and GPS tracking devices, to keep constant watch over their student bodies. Likewise, the military industrial complex with its military weapons, metal detectors, and weapons of compliance such as tasers has succeeded in transforming the schoolsat great taxpayer expense and personal profitinto quasi-prisons. Rounding things out are school truancy laws, which come disguised as well-meaning attempts to resolve attendance issues in the schools but in truth are nothing less than stealth maneuvers aimed at enriching school districts and court systems alike through excessive fines and jail sentences for unauthorized absences. Curiously, none of these efforts seem to have succeeded in making the schools any safer. On the roads: It has long been understood that police departments have quotas for how many tickets are issued and arrests made per month, a number tied directly to revenue. Likewise, red light camera schemessold to communities as a means of minimizing traffic accidents at intersections but which in fact are just a vehicle for levying nuisance fines against drivers often guilty of little more than making a right-hand turn on a red lighthave been shown to do little to increase safety while actually contributing to more accidents. Nevertheless, these intrusive, money-making scams, which also function as surveillance cameras, are being inflicted on unsuspecting drivers by revenue-hungry municipalities, despite revelations of corruption, collusion and fraud. In the prisons: States now have quotas to meet for how many Americans go to jail. Increasing numbers of states have contracted to keep their prisons at 90% to 100% capacity. This profit-driven form of mass punishment has, in turn, given rise to a $70 billion private prison industry that relies on the complicity of state governments to keep the money flowing and their privately run prisons full, regardless of whether crime was rising or falling. As Mother Jones reports, private prison companies have supported and helped write laws that drive up prison populations. Their livelihoods depend on towns, cities, and states sending more people to prison and keeping them there. Private prisons are also doling out harsher punishments for infractions by inmates in order to keep them locked up longer in order to boost profits at taxpayer expense. All the while, the prisoners are being forced to provide cheap labor for private corporations. No wonder the United States has the largest prison population in the world at a time when violent crime is at an all-time low. In the endless wars abroad: Fueled by the profit-driven military industrial complex, the governments endless wars is wreaking havoc on our communities, our budget and our police forces. Having been co-opted by greedy defense contractors, corrupt politicians and incompetent government officials, Americas expanding military empire is bleeding the country dry at a rate of more than $57 million an hour, and thats just the budget for the Dept. of Defense for 2016, with its 1000-plus U.S. military bases spread around the globe. Incredibly, although the U.S. constitutes only 5% of the worlds population, America boasts almost 50% of the worlds total military expenditure, spending more on the military than the next 19 biggest spending nations combined. In fact, the Pentagon spends more on war than all 50 states combined spend on health, education, welfare, and safety. In the form of militarized police: The Department of Homeland Security routinely hands out six-figure grants to enable local municipalities to purchase military-style vehicles, as well as a veritable war chest of weaponry, ranging from tactical vests, bomb-disarming robots, assault weapons and combat uniforms. This rise in military equipment purchases funded by the DHS has, according to analysts Andrew Becker and G.W. Schulz, paralleled an apparent increase in local SWAT teams. The end result? An explosive growth in the use of SWAT teams for otherwise routine police matters, an increased tendency on the part of police to shoot first and ask questions later, and an overall mindset within police forces that they are at warand the citizenry are the enemy combatants. Over 80,000 SWAT team raids are conducted on American homes and businesses each year. Moreover, government-funded military-style training drills continue to take place in cities across the country. These Urban Shield exercises, elaborately staged with their own set of professionally trained Crisis Actors playing the parts of shooters, bystanders and victims, fool law enforcement officials, students, teachers, bystanders and the media into thinking its a real crisis. In profit-driven schemes such as asset forfeiture: Under the guise of fighting the war on drugs, government agents (usually the police) have been given broad leeway to seize billions of dollars worth of private property (money, cars, TVs, etc.) they suspect may be connected to criminal activity. Thenand heres the kickerwhether or not any crime is actually proven to have taken place, the government keeps the citizens property, often divvying it up with the local police who did the initial seizure. The police are actually being trained in seminars on how to seize the goodies that are on police departments wish lists. According to the New York Times, seized monies have been used by police to pay for sports tickets, office parties, a home security system and a $90,000 sports car. Among government contractors: We have been saddled with a government that is outsourcing much of its work to high-paid contractorsat great expense to the taxpayer and with no competition, little transparency and dubious savings. According to theWashington Post, By some estimates, there are twice as many people doing government work under contract than there are government workers. These open-ended contracts, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, now account for anywhere between one quarter and one half of all federal service contracting. Moreover, any attempt to reform the system is bitterly opposed by federal employee unions, who take it as their mission to prevent good employees from being rewarded and bad employees from being fired. Among defense contractors: Over the past two decades, America has become increasingly dependent on private defense contractors in order to carry out military operations abroad (the governments extensive use of private security contractors has surged under Obama). In fact, the United States can no longer conduct large or sustained military operations or respond to major disasters without heavy support from contractors. As a result, the U.S. employs at a minimum one contractor to support every soldier deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. With paid contractors often outnumbering enlisted combat troops, the American war effort has evolved from the coalition of the willing into the coalition of the billing. By the security industrial complex: Not only is the government spying on Americans phone calls and emails, but police are also being equipped with technology such as Stingray devices that can track your cell phone, as well as record the content of your calls and the phone numbers dialed. The DHS has distributed more than $50 million in grantsagain, paid by taxpayersto enable local police agencies to acquire license plate readers, which rely on mobile cameras to photograph and identify cars, match them against a national database, and track their movements. Relying on private contractors to maintain a license plate database allows the DHS and its affiliates to access millions of records without much in the way of oversight. That doesnt even touch on what the governments various aerial surveillance devices are tracking, or the dangers posed to the privacy and safety of those on the ground. The bottom line? These injustices, petty tyrannies and overt acts of hostility are being carried out in the name of the national goodagainst the interests of individuals, society and ultimately our freedomsby an elite class of government officials working in partnership with megacorporations that are largely insulated from the ill effects of their actions. This perverse mixture of government authoritarianism and corporate profits has increased the reach of the state into our private lives while also adding a profit motive into the mix. And, as always, its we the people, we the taxpayers, we the gullible voters who keep getting taken for a ride by politicians eager to promise us the world on a plate. This is a far cry from how a representative government is supposed to operate. Indeed, it has been a long time since we could claim to be the masters of our own lives. Rather, we are now the subjects of a militarized, corporate empire in which the vast majority of the citizenry work their hands to the bone for the benefit of a privileged few. Adding injury to the ongoing insult of having our tax dollars misused and our so-called representatives bought and paid for by the moneyed elite, the government then turns around and uses the money we earn with our blood, sweat and tears to target, imprison and entrap us, in the form of militarized police, surveillance cameras, private prisons, license plate readers, drones, and cell phone tracking technology. All of those nefarious deeds that you read about in the paper every day: those are your tax dollars at work. Its your money that allows for government agents to spy on your emails, your phone calls, your text messages, and your movements. Its your money that allows out-of-control police officers to burst into innocent peoples homes, or probe and strip search motorists on the side of the road. And its your money that leads to innocent Americans across the country being prosecuted for innocuous activities such as raising chickens at home, growing vegetable gardens, and trying to live off the grid. Just remember the next time you see a news story that makes your blood boil, whether its a police officer arresting someone for filming them in public, or a child being kicked out of school for shooting an imaginary arrow, or a homeowner being threatened with fines for building a pond in his backyard, remember that it is your tax dollars that are paying for these injustices. So what are you going to do about it? There was a time in our history when our forebears said enough is enough and stopped paying their taxes to what they considered an illegitimate government. They stood their ground and refused to support a system that was slowly choking out any attempts at self-governance, and which refused to be held accountable for its crimes against the people. Their resistance sowed the seeds for the revolution that would follow. Unfortunately, in the 200-plus years since we established our own government, weve let bankers, turncoats and number-crunching bureaucrats muddy the waters and pilfer the accounts to such an extent that were back where we started. Once again, weve got a despotic regime with an imperial ruler doing as they please. Once again, weve got a judicial system insisting we have no rights under a government which demands that the people march in lockstep with its dictates. And once again, weve got to decide whether well keep marching or break stride and make a turn toward freedom. But what if we didnt just pull out our pocketbooks and pony up to the federal governments outrageous demands for more money? What if we didnt just dutifully line up to drop our hard-earned dollars into the collection bucket, no questions asked about how it will be spent? What if, instead of quietly sending in our checks, hoping vainly for some meager return, we did a little calculating of our own and started deducting from our taxes those programs that we refuse to support? If we dont have the right to decide what happens to our hard-earned cash, then we dont have very many rights at all. If they can just take from you what they want, when they want, and then use it however they want, you cant claim to be anything more than a serf in a land they think of as theirs. This was the case in the colonial era, and its the case once again. Constitutional attorney and author John W. Whitehead is the founder and president of The Rutherford Institute, where this article first appeared. He is also the author of A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State. We only need to wake up enough people to reach a tipping point. Once a brain dead moron puts on the sun glasses theres no going back into the matrix. 10% should be sufficient. RABBLE RABBLE! .we the taxpayers, we the gullible voters who keep getting taken for a ride. and it will never change because people will never change. Ferdinand Lundberg wrote about the masses in 1968 : We should find a meaningful term for the masses with reference to their inadequacies of judgment. I propose, therefore, that they be regarded, in varying degrees, as handicapped, crippled, unable to make sound judgments and decisions in their own self-interest. They live blindly in a system that offers wide although not unlimited free choice and they are unable to choose wisely. They are victims of their own choices. Nobody protects them from themselves ! The masses are handicapped in that they are ready believers in tales and promises of nimbler wits, prone to give credence to the improbable or very doubtful. They believe that some obvious charlatan a preacher, a politician, a vendor of cheap merchandise is going to do something very good for them at only a slight fee or absolutely free. At their most extreme these people are the followers of astrologers, spiritualists, religious dervishes and messiahs of all kinds, very often political messiahs. They tend strongly to resist whatever is objectively the case if it does not harmonize with their delusions. Gullibility and muddle-headedness are functions of insufficient intelligence. The intelligent person is prone to make significant distinctions, to analyze, compare, reflect and seek out difficulties in proffered propositions whether flattering or promising to himself or not. Skeptical self-analysis is beyond the powers of the gullible because they already feel insecure, must (as they say) believe in something if only in believing. Intimations of any lack in their judgment are resisted. Hence it follows that they believe whatever ethnic, religious or national group to which they belong is inherently superlative. Having little sense of individual identity, they derive their identity from some extensive tribe hence White Supremacy, Black Power, God-Jesus, Dallas Cowboys, etc. While all men may have been created equal, whatever that means, what strikes the most casual observer is their disparity of age, circumstance, capability and condition. And, considering people in general with respect to their judgmental powers, what is most unequal about them is their intelligence. What a great quote! I quit paying federal taxes. I filled out their form that I am exempt so there is no contract with them. Before I did this I called the IRS asking how I deduct for illegal wars and crimes against humanity. After being bounced around for a couple months I was finaly told its all or nothing. You dont get to chose what it is spent on. I responded, very good. Nothing it is then. Being sent to privately owned prisons that require nonstop inmates to keep profits in the plus or local governments aka politicunts, dont forget May the 4th be with you always. Planet X is driving the police state! The entire government are evil treasonous criminals. The day of the next Not possible under a biblical tax system.

2	It Turns Out George W. Bush Wasnt Dumb At All. On The Contrary, He Was Absolutely Brilliant... Democrats and the liberal media have done the best that they can to paint former President George W. Bush as a bumbling idiot. And while Bush was far from perfect, an economic professor from Stanford Business School is telling the public exactly how wrong they are. According to Professor Keith Hennessey, President Bush was far smarter than anyone who questioned him, and actually had a profound understanding of economic policy issues. In fact, Bush was known for challenging his advisers, and making them defend their analysis. Hennessey also defends Bushs intelligence as a whole, claiming that he handled all of his affairs carefully, from military engagements to tax spending and environmental regulations, and more. The liberal media chose to paint him as unintelligent, Hennessey claims, because of his everyday American and regular Texan persona, as well as his occasional stumble in public speeches. What do you think? Do you support Bush? Was he a better president than Obama will ever be? 
3	We Just Witnessed The Greatest One Day Global Stock Market Loss In World HistoryBy Michael Snyder According toCNBC, the total amount of money lost on global stock markets on Friday surpassed anything that we had ever seen before, and that includes the darkest days of the financial crisis of 2008 Worldwide markets hemorrhaged more than $2 trillion in paper wealth on Friday, according to data from SP Global, the worst on record. For context, that figure eclipsed the whipsaw trading sessions of the 2008 financial crisis, according to SP analyst Howard Silverblatt. The prior one day sell-off record was $1.9 trillion back in September of 2008, Silverblatt noted. According to SPs Broad Market Index, combined market capitalization is currently worth nearly $42 trillion. And of course many of the wealthiest individuals on the planet got absolutely hammered. According toBloomberg, the 400 richest people in the world lost a total of $127.4 billion dollars on Friday The worlds 400 richest people lost $127.4 billion Friday as global equity markets reeled from the news that British voters elected to leave the European Union. The billionaires lost 3.2 percent of their total net worth, bringing the combined sum to $3.9 trillion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The biggest decline belonged to Europes richest person, Amancio Ortega, who lost more than $6 billion, while nine others dropped more than $1 billion, including Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, the wealthiest person in the U.K. Could you imagine losing a billion dollars on a single day? I am sure that Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are not shivering in their boots quite yet, but what if the markets keep on bleeding like they did in 2008? On the other hand, globalist magnate George Soros made a ton of money on Friday because he had positioned himself for a Brexit ahead of time. The following comes fromthe London Independent The billionaire who predicted Brexit would bring about Black Friday and a crisis for the finances of ordinary people appears to have profited hugely from the UKs surprise exit from the EU. George Soros is widely known as the man who broke the Bank of England in 1992, when he bet against the pound and made a reported 1.5bn. Although the exact amount Mr Soros has gained after Brexit is not known, public filings show he doubled his bets earlier this year that stocks would fall. So what will happen on Monday when the markets reopen? Personally, I dont think that it will be as bad as Friday. But I could be wrong. In early trading, Dow futures, SP 500 futures and Nasdaq futuresare all down Dow futures fell by 90 points in early trading, while SP 500 futures slipped 11 points, and NASDAQ futures dipped 24 points. Gold futures rose, in a reflection of sustained demand for safe-haven assets. And at this moment, the British pound is getting absolutely crushed. It is down to 1.33, and I would expect to see it fall a lot lower in the weeks and months to come. Why? Well, the truth is that now that the British people have voted to leave the EU, the globalists have to make it as painful as possible on them in order to send a warning to other nations that may consider leaving. I think that a recent articleby W. Ben Hunt explained this very well Whats next? From a game theory perspective, the EU and ECB need to crush the UK. Its like the Greek debt negotiations it was never about Greece, it was always about sending a signal that dissent and departure will not be tolerated to the countries that matter to the survival of the Eurozone (France, Italy, maybe Spain). Now they (and by they I mean the status quo politicians throughout the EU, not just Germany) are going to send that same signal to the same countries by hurting the UK any way they can, creating a Narrative that its economic death to leave the EU, much less the Eurozone. Its not spite. Its purely rational. Its the smart move. The elite need a crisis now in order to show everyone that globalism is the answer and not the problem. If the British people were allowed to thrive once they walked away, that would only encourage more countries to go down the exact same path. This is something that the elite are determined to avoid. The Brexit vote has barely sunk in, andBank of America and Goldman Sachs are already projecting a recession for the United Kingdom. Sadly, I believe that this is what we will see happen. But it wont just be the British that suffer. On Friday, European banking stocks had their worst day ever. In particular, Deutsche Bank fell an astounding 17.49 percent to an all-time record closing low of 14.72. I have warned repeatedly about the implosion of Deutsche Bank, and this crisis could be the catalyst for it. In addition, I have repeatedly warned about the slow-motion meltdown that is happening in Japan. On Friday, Japanese stocks lost 1286 points, and the yen surgedin the exact opposite direction that the government is trying to send it Tokyo, we have a problem. Last week, market tumult stemming from the U.K.s vote to quit the European Union drove the British pound to its weakest levels in three decades. Yet it also sent investors flocking to traditional safe haven assets like the U.S. dollar, gold and the yen, the latter surging against every major currency as the results of Brexit became clear: Dollar/yen spiked from a Thursday high near 107 to a two-year low near 99. Just like in 2008, there will be days when global markets will be green. When that happens, it will not mean that the crisis is over. If you follow my workclosely, then you know that it is imperative to look at the bigger picture. Over the past 12 months, there have been some very nice market rallies around the world, but investors have still lost trillions of dollars overall. What happens on any one particular day is not the story. Rather, the key is to focus on the long-term trends. And without a doubt, this Brexit vote could bethe tipping point that greatly accelerates our ongoing woes Brexit is the biggest global monetary shock since 2008, said David Beckworth, a scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, in a blog post on Friday. This could be the tipping point that turns the existing global slowdown of 2016 into a global recession. We were already dealing with a new global economic crisis without the Brexit vote. But what this does is it introduces an element of panic and fear that had been missing up until this current time. And markets do not like panic and fear very much. In general, markets tend to go up when things are calm and predictable, and they tend to go down when chaos reigns. Unfortunately, I believe that we are going to see quite a bit more chaos for the rest of 2016, and the trillions that were lost on Friday may turn out to be just the tip of the iceberg.

3	e-Cigarette Launches 200 Armed Police, Army Bomb Disposal Unit, Emergency Services In British Terror AlertBrit Dee, Contributor A coach drivers call to the police reporting a passenger seen pouring liquid into a bag and causing it to smoke resulted in the closing of a 27-mile stretch of the M6 motorway near Lichfield and the deployment of an estimated 200 emergency personnel including the involvement of an armed response unit, two police forces, two fire brigades, and a military bomb disposal unit. Decontamination tents were erected and the coachs 48 passengers made to file out of the vehicle with their hands in the air, before being surrounded and searched by armed police, and then made to sit on the motorway in rows in a taped off square. It turned out Al Qaeda terrorists had not started targeting early morning budget intercity coaches, but that a passenger had in fact been using an ecigarette machine, which replicates the sensation of smoking using vapour. The motorway was closed for more than four hours, leading to long tailbacks. The incident highlights the kind of totally disproportionate and hysterical response resulting from a climate of fear about terrorism even though, as recently pointed out by the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, the UKterror threat has been massively overblown and as many people die from bee stings each year as from terror attacks.

1	Theorizing that their work most likely represents a groundbreaking scientific achievement of some kind, researchers at Stanford University announced Thursday that they have made an unclear breakthrough by giving a robot cancer. The team of oncologists and mechanical engineers told reporters that after years of research and repeated trials, they had finally succeeded in causing an aggressive form of advanced cancer to spread throughout a laboratory robots mechanized arm and central processing unit, noting that this landmark accomplishment probably has beneficial implications for the scientific community or society at large or something like that. Right now, what we can absolutely say for sure is that this robot has Stage IV cancer and only has two to three months left until it succumbs to the disease. Diagnostic testing has confirmed that our robot has developed a high concentration of malignancies throughout its entire structural framework, which, for all we know, could turn out to be incredibly important to science, said lead researcher Amos Cruise, noting that the degenerative disease is corroding the machines circuitry at a rapid rate, a development that he stated might potentially lead to further advancements in cancer research or robotics or maybe electrical engineering. Never before has cancer been detected in a non-biological entity, which seems like a pretty big achievement to me. I mean, it took three years of experimentation just to get cancer to take hold inside a robot, and anything that requires that much effort probably ends up being pretty useful, I imagine. Right now, what we can absolutely say for sure is that this robot has Stage IV cancer and only has two to three months left until it succumbs to the disease, Cruise added. That alone has got to be some sort of leap forward in our understanding of terminal illnesses. Right? According to Cruise, after introducing cancerous neoplasms into the robots microprocessors, the disease eventually metastasized from its motherboard to its sensor modules and chassis, an unprecedented expansion that researchers said had never been observed before and therefore would have to be categorized as a success in some sense. Just six weeks later, the Stanford team reported that the disease had completely disabled the robots optical and pneumatic systems in a progression that several of the projects top epidemiologists haltingly called a watershed moment in whatever scientific discipline covers this sort of thing. Additionally, sources confirmed that the rapidly proliferating disease had degraded the integrity of the units electrical wiring by 70 percent, with Cruise asserting that, while such a development didnt immediately suggest any practical applications for cancer treatment, it certainly seemed like something worth noting. He added that initial tests have revealed that the robots cancer is inoperable, which he stressed was probably a pretty meaningful detail as well. Weve begun administering an aggressive course of chemotherapy drugs and are putting the robot through daily radiotherapy sessions to see how it responds to the treatment, because we figured, you know, that seemed like a pretty logical thing to do at this point, said Cruise, noting that while the robots condition continues to decline, monitoring its reaction to concentrated doses of toxic radiation might be one of those things that pays off somewhere down the line. Meanwhile, were also applying for additional funding in order to someday replicate our findings in other robots by giving them cancer, and maybe some other diseases too. Thats the type of thing we usually do during projects like this, so I guess well try that and see how it goes. Cant hurt. Maybe if we can build a robot that already has cancer, it could he added, before trailing off. When reached for further comment, Stanfords research team confirmed that, in what just has to be a crucial finding for artificial intelligence or possibly a related field, they have determined that the robot is fully aware it has cancer and is in constant pain. 
3	Propaganda Bill in Congress Could Give America Its Very Own Ministry Of TruthBy Claire Bernish Introduced by Congressmen Adam Kinzinger and Ted Lieu, H.R. 5181 seeks a whole-government approach without the bureaucratic restrictions to counter foreign disinformation and manipulation, which they believe threaten the worlds security and stability. As Russia continues to spew its disinformation and false narratives, they undermine the United States and its interests in places like Ukraine, while also breeding further instability in these countries, Kinzinger explained in a statement. The United States has a role in countering these destabilizing acts of propaganda, which is why Im proud to introduce [the aforementioned bill]. This important legislation develops a comprehensive U.S. strategy to counter disinformation campaigns through interagency cooperation and on-the-ground partnerships with outside organizations that have experience in countering foreign propaganda. Make no mistake this legislation isnt proposing some team of noble fact-finders, chiseling away to free the truth from the faades of various foreign governmental narratives for the betterment of American and allied populations. If passed, this legislation will allow cumbrously pro-American propaganda to infiltrate cable, online, and mainstream news organizations wherever the government deems necessary. From Ukraine to the South China Sea, foreign disinformation campaigns do more than spread anti-Western sentiments they manipulate public perception to change the facts on the ground, subvert democracy and undermine U.S. interests, Lieu explained. In short, they make the world less safe. H.R. 5181 tasks the Secretary of State with coordinating the Secretary of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Broadcasting Board of Governors to establish a Center for Information Analysis and Response, which will pinpoint sources of disinformation, analyze data, and in true dystopic manner develop and disseminate fact-based narratives to counter effrontery propaganda. Listed among nine core duties of this propaganda response squad, according to the bills text, emphasis added, will be Identifying current and emerging trends in foreign propaganda and disinformation, including the use of print, broadcast, online and social media, support for third-party outlets such as think tanks, political parties, and nongovernmental organizations, and the use of covert or clandestine special operators and agents to influence targeted populations and governments in order to coordinate and shape the development of tactics, techniques, and procedures to expose and refute foreign misinformation and disinformation ostensibly in foreign lands. Also called the Countering Information Warfare Act of 2016 (S. 2692), when introduced in March by Sen. Rob Portman, the legislation represents a dramatic return to Cold War-era government propaganda battles. These countries spend vast sums of money on advanced broadcast and digital media capabilities, targeted campaigns, funding of foreign political movements, and other efforts to influence key audiences and populations, Portman explained, adding that while the U.S. spends a relatively small amount on its Voice of America, the Kremlin provides enormous funding for its news organization, RT. Surprisingly, Portman continued, there is currently no single U.S. governmental agency or department charged with the national level development, integration and synchronization of whole-of-government strategies to counter foreign propaganda and disinformation. Though putatively aimed to counter purported disinformation abroad, text of the bill hints the effort would operate on some level within the U.S., as well or at least cracks the door to widening that scope and focus in the future. Whether its counter-propaganda, whether its counter-extremism, we just really have to come to terms with the fact the United States government is not always the most credible voice in these debates, said Kristin Lord, CEO of IREX, a non-profit organization promoting global change, at a meeting of the Atlantic Council in March. So we have to invest in the people who are making the credible arguments. This article (Propaganda Bill in Congress Could Give America Its Very Own Ministry Of Truth) is free and open source.

If you spot a typo, email edits@theantimedia.org. ive checked out the bill text. only 20million funding. wont get them anywhere. MSM has much bigger funding and they are still loosing the information war. more taxpayer money wasted of course If you believe the posted monetary figure, then you may tend to swallow the foolaid that unemployment is only five percent. 20mil, 200mil, or 20bil wont make a difference. and who gives a crap about gov run anti-propaganda anyways. and what they are going to do about it. stop drinking too much conspiracy mountain dew dude. ..who gives a crap about government anti-propaganda? Exactly, CNN and Fox will tell us everything we need to hear about that Vladimir Putin who is going to force the US into a war right inside Russia. as an additional comment of the any US BASES ON JAPAN as reported by the RT NEWS YESTERDAY, THEIR IS A PARICULAR UPROAR of a girl raped and murdered by a us soldier, AND MANY OTHER CASES OF ABUSE, THAT IS STIL ONGOING, AS WELL AS RT NEWS THERE, there are many Asian news outlets giving an update and changes in the situation. Zio-Terrorist MSM, including Hollywood is already doing such a great job of spreading filth, sleaze, misinformation, disinformation, agitprop and lies, why do we need an official version with the seal of approval from the US government bureaucracy? Why do you still need to ask why? Why the eff do they do anything??? They are losing the war for the mind(s) of the slave class, which is literally everyone that is not part of their little club. Will this not be used for law enforcement to cast a wide net on the alternative media? They can label anything disinformation, and label all of us in collusion with foreign governments disinformation. A FURTHER ADDITION,THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES RODRIGO DUTERTE IS NOT GOING TO TOLERATE ANY MORE ABUSE TO HIS PEOPLE BY THE US MILITARY, AND THREE RECENT LOCAL NEWCASTS WILL CONFIRM THIS, AND THE POSSIBLE REMOVAL OF THE US BASES, BECAUSE THEIR IS NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES, AND WITH A CHANCE THAT THE PHILIPPINES WILL JOIN THE RUSSIA CHINA ALLIANCE. AT THIS POINT IN TIME THE US IS NOT MAKING ANY ALLIES, IT IS LOSING ALLIES ALL AROUND THE GLOBE, BECAUSE OF ITS NEW WORLD ORDER POLICY,AN ATTEMPT IS BEING MADE BY THE US TO FURTHER SANCTION RUSSIA, THAT WILL FORCE IT INTO A SITUATION OF A WORLD WAR, AND TO DO THAT IT NEEDS TO BRING EUROPE INTO LINE,THAT IS WHY THE US IS THREATENING THE COUNTRIES OF THE EU NOT TO LEAVE, BUT THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE UK WILL LEAVE THE EU, MOST OF ALL BECAUSE IT WAS AN AMERICAN CREATION. OMFG, please turn off the caps lock! Heh Arlene using all caps is a sure-fire way to not get your message across. No one reads them because they are generally filled with anger, hatred, frustration or some other energy no one wants to absorb. Get it? I read it. And I agreed with it. And in your post, I believe you are talking about your own post no? No. Allow me to restate my position- a lot of people wont read anything written in all caps because its annoying to read on several levels. ergo, its not the best way to get your message across. On the other hand, I neglected to consider that there are some people who will read anything in all caps and agree with it simply because its emphatic-looking, ergo, the author must be pretty darn sure they know what theyre yelling about. What about braille? Does that trigger strong emotions in you as well? How about sign language? Does it piss you off? What about smoke signals? Amputees? Rural villagers? People who dont know English very well? What about people whos autistic hands are crippled into little balls and they have to use the keyboard with their foot? Does that make your blood boil? Looks like youre the one with the boiling blood. All caps are easier to read. I used all caps when I didnt know about the shift button. Anyway Arlene has a few good points. Complaining about all caps is like being dismissive of someone because their fly is undone. Putin laughs at our sanctions. He has GOLD Colonel Gadaffi had 140 tons of it too, before democracy came to Libya. Colonel Gadaffi wasnt capable of blowing the United States into nuclear dust. That was his problem. This is part of a global plan to shut down all information that the elite dont want us to have access to. This goes hand in hand with censorship. As they bring in ever more insane and parasitic policies they need to more and more control the info so we will go along with all quality of life being destroyed- AND PAY FOR IT!! Still.we need to tell congress we have enough spooks already on the payroll NWO in action, there putting people in place to help them with there evil agenda, thats why they choose whom they will to further there cause, and that being total control of the masses. and the majority wants the free stuff, that working people have to pay for. Putin must have some pretty good dirt on them.my guess is this will only make our govt. more unbelievable if they try to force the issue. First lets conquer our own propaganda. Disinfo on the nightly news is foiled by the internet already. Why dont they just give us the TRUTH? i guess this means so long RT news. Only the liberals have the right to free speech. Always be a light that is .shininginthedark.c With the advent of the internet,propaganda has been seen through by those that have an IQ above room temperature.

'He likes corn on the cob, corn niblets, creamed corn, corn chips, corn flakes, corn syrup, corn oil, cornbread, corn dogs, roasting ears, popcorn, and Indian corn,' said Ruth Gadsen, the boy's mother. 'Basically, if it's corn, he'll eat it.' 
3	Tennessee Governor Signs Law to Legalize Hempselfnews Post The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 28-0 and the House by a vote of 88-5. It reads, in part: Mike Maharrey, communications director for the Tenth Amendment Center, noted that one word strengthened the bill considerably. By including the word shall in this legislation, it has a great deal of impact, he said. This means that rather than keeping it open-ended like other states have done, hemp farming will be able to move forward in Tennessee whether the regulatory bureaucrats there want it to or not. Shall is a legal term which creates a specific requirement far stronger than a word like will. The former is more closely interchangeable with the word must, while the latter allows leeway for the object of the term to delay. In this case, the bill states that the Tennessee department of agriculture will have a mandate to license farmers for growing hemp. Three other states Colorado, Oregon and Vermont have already passed bills to authorize hemp farming, but only in Colorado has the process begun. A similar bill was passed in South Carolina this week and awaits action by Gov. Nikki Haley. With passage of HB2445, Tennessee will most likely become the 2nd state in the country to actively produce hemp. The legislation also ensures that not only will hemp licenses be issued, but the process for doing so will start quickly. It reads: In other words, now that the bill has become law, the process in Tennessee will start no later than November, 2014. Maharrey called this monumental in comparison to Oregon. That state first legalized hemp farming in 2009 but five years later, farming and production still has not begun. HUGE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL Experts suggest that the U.S. market for hemp is around $500 million per year. But, since the enactment of the unconstitutional federal controlled-substances act in 1970, the Drug Enforcement Agency has prevented the production of hemp within the United States. Many hemp supporters feel that the DEA has been used as an attack dog of sorts to prevent competition with major industries where American-grown hemp products would create serious market competition: Cotton, Paper/Lumber, Oil, and others. There are as many as 25,000 uses for industrial hemp, including food, cosmetics, plastics and bio-fuel. The U.S. is currently the worlds #1 importer of hemp fiber for various products, with China and Canada acting as the top two exporters in the world. During World War II, the United States military relied heavily on hemp products, which resulted in the famous campaign and government-produced film, Hemp for Victory! Even though soil, climate and agricultural capabilities could make the United States a massive producer of industrial hemp, today no hemp is grown for public sale, use and consumption outside of Colorado, which just began production. In February of this year, President Barack Obama signed a new farm bill into law, which included a provision allowing a handful of states to begin limited research programs growing hemp. The new hemp amendment The farming laws in Colorado, Oregon and Vermont go beyond research and into full-scale farming and production, effectively nullifying the federal ban once production begins. Tennessee joins them, and will likely become the 2nd state in the country to actively start an industrial hemp program.

2	BREAKING: Facing Jail Time, Clinton Submits And Reveals Everything... According to recent reports, a lawyer for former Hillary Clinton aide Bryan Pagliano promised this week that his client will plead the Fifth Amendment when questioned by Judicial Watch. Pagliano was responsible for setting up Clintons private email server when she was Secretary of State. The potential for self-incrimination here is sufficient to justify Mr. Paglianos intention to assert his Fifth Amendment rights, Mark MacDougall wrote, according to the Washington Free Beacon. Other reports indicate that Judicial Watch got permission to interrogate Pagliano at a deposition hearing for a public records lawsuit it filed at the beginning of the year. Now, he is making it clear that he does not intend to cooperate. It is unfortunate the publics right to know is being hampered, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said in a statement. These court filings are further evidence of the legal mess caused by Mrs. Clintons email system. One should note that the Justice Department has granted Pagliano immunity in this case, meaning he cant be prosecuted for anything Hillary made him do. Still, he intends to protect her from the public light. Because its a separate judicial proceeding, he has a right to invoke the Fifth Amendment, his lawyer commented, adding that the judge is likely to approve the requires that the hearing not be filmed.

2	Obama Makes Massive Move To Become Next Supreme Court Justice After Presidency According to recent rumors, President Obama may not be ready to hand over his power with the 2016 elections. As it turns out, he may be planning to move to the Supreme Court once his final term is over. Before becoming president, Obama was the head of the Harvard Law Review and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. In 2008, he made comments about the best justices having been former politicians. We need somebody whos got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what its like to be a young teenage mom, Obama said, referring to Earl Warren, who he reportedly idolizes. The empathy to understand what its like to be poor, or African America, or gay, or disabled, or old. What do you think? Does Obama need to stay as far away from the law as possible? 
2	Oprah Spews Racist Agenda On Live TV, This Is Why Americans Disrespect Obama [VIDEO] When Oprah appeared on BBC to discuss the release of her upcoming movie, she ended up talking less about the film and more about racism in America. When the British interview Will Gompertz asks Winfrey if she thinks that Barack Obama has been treated differently because hes black, she quickly answers that it has crossed her mind. Yeah I think theres a level of disrespect for the office that occurs, she began. And that occurs in some cases, and maybe even many cases, because hes African-American. Gee, Oprah, you dont think it has anything to do with the numerous lies hes told the American people, or his blatant disrespect for the law? 
1	Still furious over his inability to inflict damage upon numerous pieces of high-quality Samsonite luggage many years ago, Bobo the Gorilla severely pummeled Samsonite CEO Frank Jurgens into a life-threatening coma yesterday. Bobo, a 550-pound African lowland gorilla, became enraged upon seeing the man singularly responsible for the development of the extraodinarily durable, long-lasting luggage. Although in the past, Samsonite's high-quality, durable luggage withstood the pounding of the Bobo the Gorilla, Samsonite CEO Frank Jurgens proved less damage-resistant, suffering massive internal hemorrhaging. It was horrible, just horrible, one witness said. The gorilla would pick him up, spin him around, and throw him down, then hit him with the luggage. It would set him up against the wall in a half-conscious slump, get a running start from the other side of the room, then smash into him with the suitcase and rebound off the wall. Itd pick him up and spin him around in a pinwheeling motion, then throw him at the floor and bounce him against the wall again. Itd jump on his head, bounce up and down in a squatting motion on his chest, then pick him up and start the whole process again. Witnesses reported that the gorillas choice of weapon proved especially damaging to his victim, as its rugged, quality construction was able to withstand the most strenuous levels of wear and tear without damage, maintaining its durability as the gorilla repeatedly smashed it into Jurgenss head, neck, chest and back. The beating, which took place behind a barricaded door in Jurgenss deluxe mid-Manhattan office, lasted for over 20 minutes, and was observed via camera by the buildings security staff. Unable to break through the gorillas barricade to save Jurgens, they were helpless to do anything but watch the muscle-bound animal pummel Jurgens with blow after blow, expertly wielding the suitcase as a bludgeoning tool. The gorilla, born in the lowlands of Central Africa and transported to the United States at age two, seemed possessed of an almost deliberate single-mindedness, clearly seeking revenge for an age-old vendetta, before and during the attack, police said. The tragic incident began when Jurgens visited the Bronx Zoo during a family outing. Bobo apparently became enraged upon making eye contact with Jurgens during the familys tour of the zoos Jungle World exhibit. He looked right at me, Jurgens said from his bed in the Intensive Care Ward of Mt. Sinai Hospital. I swear to God, his beady gorilla eyes looked right into mine. It was obvious that our fine products wear-resistant design had caused him years of frustration, and that he unleashed this pent-up anger in an outburst of savage catharsis. Shortly after seeing Jurgens, the animal went ballistic, according to witnesses, leaping over the concrete safety pit surrounding the enclosure and repeatedly tearing at the iron bars separating him from zoo visitors with his teeth and fists. Eight zoo staffers and large doses of tranquilizers failed to subdue the creature, who finally escaped by tearing a set of keys from a zookeepers belt. He resumed his pursuit of Jurgens, eventually catching up to him at his downtown office, where he trapped him in the penthouse and barricaded the door. All told, Bobo pursued Jurgens, who had risen to prominence within Samsonites ranks after featuring Bobo in a highly successful advertising campaign in the mid-70s, for over four miles. In the process, Bobo fended off capture attempts by no fewer than 12 zookeepers, a fully mobilized unit of horse-mounted police, and over 20 highly-trained Samsonite security guards. Although several of these men and women were mildly injured in their failed attempts to subdue the primate, the only person to sustain serious, prolonged injury was Jurgens, whom the revenge-crazed animal deliberately singled out, according to several witnesses. Zoo authorities claim the animal has never shown any sign of violent behavior. In fact, sources said, Bobo has always been an unusually docile gorilla, his friendly and responsive demeanor making him a favorite among children. Hes such a cooperative animal that it seemed natural to use him in the television commercial, Bobos trainer and personal attendant, Hank Prando, said. Little did we know that the luggages exceptionally fine craftsmanship would prove too much for the poor beasts mind to take. After finishing the near-fatal beating, Bobo calmly sat down and rested for a few moments, then proceeded to quietly remove the office doors barricade and surrendered peacefully to authorities. He seemed so happy, said one policeman present at the animals surrender. As they took him away, I saw a look in his eyes of utter peace. It was as if a weight hed been carrying for years had finally been lifted from his shoulders. 
1	Representatives from the American Folk Art Museum held a press conference Wednesday, announcing that the 'Legacy in Throw Rugs' exhibit had acquired a rare visitor, Ms. Marnie Schneider, who was discovered near the janitor's closet in the hubcap paintings wing. 'Ms. Schneider is a real find, definitely a one of a kind,' said head curator Natalie Kiernan, who estimated the historically significant attendee's value was priceless. 'You could go years without seeing one of these.' Kiernan admitted that, while the visitor had clearly seen some wear and tear, she appeared to be in surprisingly good shape for her age. 
1	Local fast food consumer and occasional motorist Don Turnbee announced his decision Wednesday to bypass I-79's Greenville exit in hopes that the following turnoff would lead to more appealing fast food options. According to Turnbee, though the previous exit had several fast food establishments to choose from, the 41-year-old said that he 'didn't feel like McDonald's,' and that he had 'just had Taco Bell a couple days ago.' 'I think I want Wendy's,' Turnbee told reporters at a rest stop alongside the highway. 'There hasn't been a Wendy's in a while so there will probably be one at the next exit or the one after that.' 'When you get on the road, there are more McDonald's and Burger Kings than Wendy's,' Turnbee explained. 'You'd think it'd be about the same, but it isn't.' While holding out for a superior option, Turnbee has passed on multiple eating opportunities, including a Long John Silver's at the Conneaut Lake exit, a Roy Rogers in Saegertown, and an entire fast food plaza off exit 147A containing an Arby's, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Quiznos, Burger King, and Starbucks. 'I'm not turning off for a Starbucks,' Turnbee said of the coffeehouse chain. 'Starbucks isn't food.' Turnbee was unable to recall the last time he had eaten at Wendy's, saying that the one closest to him is 'kind of far away,' since it is located pretty much where the old Rax used to be. Despite not frequenting a Wendy's in months, Turnbee said that his current trip has reinvigorated his enthusiasm for the fast food chain. 'I like the No. 2 there,' said Turnbee, referring to the Wendy's Old Fashioned Combination Meal consisting of a double cheeseburger, a large order of French fries, and a large soft drink. 'They stopped doing Biggie sizes a while ago, but large is Biggie. It's the same.' 'The chili's okay,' he added. Turnbee, who is currently on route to pick up his wife, Shelly, from her sister's house, said he would be on the lookout for a dining service sign with a miniature Wendy's logo. While Turnbee said he depends on these icons to inform him as to what dining options are ahead, he was confused by one near the Mercer exit, which had an image of just a fork and knife, and no other specific details. Turnbee claimed the dining icon probably meant that the restaurants at that exit were of the sit-down variety only. 'I bet it had places like Perkins or Cracker Barrel,' Turnbee said. 'They aren't bad, but when I'm on my way somewhere I don't like to waste time with waiters and stuff.' According to fellow motorists, Turnbee was spotted pulling off at a rest stop along I-79 an hour into his trip. At the rest stop, sources confirmed that Turnbee approached a pair of vending machines, carefully surveyed their contents, and then turned around to exit the building. 'I don't want peanut butter cups or chips,' Turnbee told reporters, adding that he would draw on past turnpike-driving experiences to aid him in his most recent fast food endeavor. 'A month ago I wanted Burger King, but I got off too early and ended up getting a piece of pizza at a Sbarro even though I didn't want a piece of pizza. And then the next exit had a Burger King.' Turnbee said there have been two Wendy's restaurants on his drive thus far. He didn't patronize the first, he said, because he hadn't gotten far enough along in his trip to justify making a pit stop. He mistakenly passed the second because he was 'fiddling with the dang radio,' and by the time he realized what had happened it was too late. 'I'm getting hungry,' he said. Though Turnbee remains steadfast in his decision to eat at Wendy's, he stated that he would only leave the highway if the establishment 'seemed all right' and was visible from his car. 'One time I got off and instead of the Taco Bell being right there, there was another small Taco Bell sign with an arrow pointing to the left,' Turnbee said. 'I drove for a good five minutes, but all I saw were some houses and trees. I'm not doing that again.' As of press time, Turnbee was observed getting off the Breezewood exit. Onlookers said he pulled into a Wendy's location, noted that the line inside the restaurant extended beyond the crimson-roped metal stanchions, and then proceeded to leave. Turnbee was last seen pulling into the McDonald's across the street.

2	Thugs Flick Cigarette Into Girls Hair... Boyfriend Sends Them Both Into Next Week [VIDEO] You have to be pretty disturbed to think it is a good idea to flick a cigarette butt into a womans hair. Apparently, this group of thuggish bullies fell into that category. Thats when the girls boyfriend decided to throw some serious punches. A video of the incident was published on YouTube on Friday. There was no date or location provided with it, but the video description refers to the bullies as chavs. That is a British term for hoodlum or trash. The two bullies were standing around in a passageway, probably on a public transit system. One of them was smoking a cigarette, and when the man and woman strolled by, they saw a sneer of the faces of the thugs. Then one of the thugs flicked a cigarette at the womans hair. Both of them turned around, and the one who flicked the cigarette challenged the boyfriend to a fight. It only took one punch for the boyfriend to get one of the bullies and put him on his back. The other one struggled a bit more, but he was able to lay him out too. What do you think? Did these Thugs get exactly what they deserve? 
2	Obamas Half Brother Caught On Camera Doing Something Horrible According to recent reports, President Obamas half brother, Malik Obama, was recently photographed at a public event in Yemen wearing a scarf that reads Jerusalem is ourswe are coming on one side, and From the river to the sea on the other. The anti-Semitic slogans refer to the belief that the area of Israel between Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea belongs to Palestine. The controversial photo first appeared on the website of the Barack H. Obama Foundation, run by the presidents half brother. Although the foundation has no ties to Obama, it is named after the pairs father. In a 2013 interview GQ, Malik claimed that he and Barack speak regularly. Of course were close! He exclaimed. Im the one who brought him here to Kogelo in 1988! I thought it was important for him to come home and see whence his family cameyou know, his roots. In a separate interview, Malik told MailOnline that he had also visited his brother in November of 2012, after the election. Suffice it to say, the brothers are still very much in communication. Malik reportedly has around 12 wives, included a 19-year-old girl who was forced to quit her education to wed Malik. The presidents half-brother has also been accused of beating his wives. What do you think? Is Obamas background extraordinarily questionable? 
2	BREAKING: Threeway Marriages To Be Legalized [SEE DETAILS] One of the fears that Christians have about gay marriage being legalized is that it will destroy what marriage is fundamentally at its core and open the door for all kinds of exceptions.

According to reports from Breitbart, the Green Party in the UK has just announced that they are open to legalizing three-way marriages. As someone living with his two boyfriends in a stable long-term relationship, I would like to know what your stance is on polyamory rights, reporter Jon Barrett asked Natalie Bennett of the Green Party during an open interview.

The most recent incident has just been reported in Britain, where a school pressured their students into Muslim culture, and taking things even a step further. At this school, students were forced to write letters to their parents explaining why they have are converting to Islam.

Include: How youre feeling, how becoming a Muslim has changed your life, how much you love your family and hope they can accept your choice. This is absolutely ridiculous. Things like this are also happening in America. It needs to be stopped. Do you think this should be illegal?

2	Liberals Disgusted By What Sheriff Says He Will Do To Obama If His Guns Are Taken Ever since President Obama has taken office, he has made it clear that he has the intention to limit the gun rights of Americans. Now, Maryland Sheriff Mike Lewis has decided to take a stand against the Presidents movement to limit our constitutional right to bear arms. Sheriff Lewis message to Obama was clear: keep trying to disarm Americans, and get an all-out civil war, no question about it. We do not need to strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment right to bear arms, the Sheriff went on in a video. That I get upset over. I really do. Lewis claims that President Obama would be better served focusing on limiting the guns from the hands of criminals, and leave law-abiding citizens alone. Lewis honors his commitment to protecting the rights of the peoplesomething our President should probably be invested in doing as well. Unfortunately, Lewis is forced to take a stand. We admire his determination not to allow the federal government to come in here and strip citizens of their right to bear arms.

3	13 Ways to Become an Awesome PrepperGaye Levy These days a lot of my prepping tasks I refuse to call them chores have to do with learning and becoming skilled at new things. How to use my gear, how to use a pressure canner, how to make my own healing remedies, the list is endless. Added to that is the desire to add to my food stores and the need to establish better relationships with like-minded members of my community. With all that is left to do, I believe that there is still room for considerable awesomeness. Whether you are just getting started or you are an old hand at prepping, today I describe 13 ways to become an awesome prepper along with some useful links to guide you along the way. 13 Ways to Become an Awesome Prepper 1. Have an emergency plan Ask yourself this: What would I do if there was disaster that affected my home and my family? Think about the risks inherent to your geographical area and your own vulnerability when it comes to those risks. Once you do that, come up with a plan for preparing, responding, and recovering if the worst should happen. See: Survival Basics: 10 Steps for Preparing a Family Emergency Plan. Assemble the items you will need to get through an emergency safely. In addition to flashlights, batteries and an emergency radio, you are going to need other basic gear plus hygiene items, medications, cash and some extra clothing. Your kit should be portable and light enough that you can handle it on your own. See: Back to the Basics: The Bug-Out-Bag 3. Store plenty of water Clean water is something we all take for granted. We turn on the faucet and there it is. It is plentiful, it is clean and it is drinkable. Learn where to find it, how to store it, how to purify it and how to filter it. Whether you are a prepping newbie or an experienced survivalist, water should be high on your list of prepping priorities. See: Water The Survival Basic 4. Have emergency food supplies Fortify your home with enough food to get by for a minimum of seven days, and longer if you can afford to do so. Dont get discouraged into thinking that you need to spend thousands of dollars on a years worth of specially packaged survival food. That is, of course, a great option but not the answer to the call for emergency food storage. Inventory what you have then come up with some reasonable goals for adding to your food supply weekly, with every visit to the grocery store. Build up your food supply using foods you like to eat that also have a long shelf life. See: 20 Items to Kick Start Your Food Storage Plan 5. Plan for your pets Dont forget about your pets. Be sure plan for their food and water needs. In addition, recognize that they may or may not be able to stay with you if you are forced to move to a shelter. Luckily, the Red Cross and other agencies are recognizing that people may put themselves in danger because they will not abandon their pets. As a result, they are beginning to set up pet shelters along side the people shelters. See: Tips for Creating a Pet Preparedness Plan 6. Be a good neighbor Learn to be a good neighbor so that you build a solid foundation of folks that will be there to watch your back and help you out if you become incapacitated or need post-disaster assistance. A good neighbor will be there to help you long before the government or the first responders. See: 9 Simple Ways for Preppers to Be a Good Neighbor 7. Remember those with special needs Perhaps a family member is handicapped, elderly, medically dependent or has other special needs. Be prepared to deal with these special needs as you build your kit and your food supply. In addition, be prepared to help those with special needs during an evacuation. See: Disaster Preparedness for Seniors and the Elderly and Preparedness Tips for People with Mobility Challenges 8. Learn how to safely shelter in place Identify, outfit and prepare an area of your home that is suitable for a shelter-in-place emergency. If possible, select a room that is isolated from exterior doors and windows, and outfit it so that you can remain there in relative comfort until the emergency passes. Keep in mind that if you shelter in place, you will rely upon supplies in your emergency kit as well as specific shelter-in-place items such as sheets of plastic and duct tape. See: Learn How to Shelter in Place 9. Prepare to survive without power One of the most common emergencies does not need to be an emergency at all if you are well prepared. I am referring to a grid-down, short term power outage. As recent events have taught us, a freak storm can bring the power grid down for a few days, a week, or even longer. Learn to cope with plenty of light sources as well as cooking and heating facilities. See: Survival Basics: Preparing for a Grid Down Power Outage 10. Have an emergency fund If you have ever been shopping and realize that you left your credit card at home you will understand the need to have some spare cash on hand. But what about the bigger emergencies? Perhaps the car needs to be repaired, or like me, you are faced with an $800 refrigerator repair bill. The need for an emergency fund goes beyond short-term cash needs. Unemployment and a medical crisis may also require you to dip into emergency funds. Building up an emergency fund when you are barely scraping by may be difficult but it is not impossible. Go slowly and you will be surprised by how quickly those dollars add up. See: 26 Five Minute Prepping Projects 11. Stay fit and healthy I have always been health conscious and even more so now that I realize that staying fit and healthy are the cornerstones to long-term survival during stressful situations. Even if you have six months of food storage, six months of water, a sustainable food garden, and a fully stocked first aid kit, you will have a tough time coping if you were not strong, fit and healthy. Granted, age and time take their toll and many illnesses and infirmities just happen through no fault of your own. Still, eating healthy foods and getting regular exercise will go a long way toward insuring that you are a physically able to withstand the rigors of a disaster. See: Putting a Priority on Health and Medical Preparedness 12. Live a strategic life Living strategically by my own definition means living a life full of abundant adventure while embracing the tenants of simplicity and sustainability. It means being healthy and reaping the benefits of bounteous friendships and caring relationships. It means living a life full of happiness and readiness, without the burden of wanting to be someone else or someplace else. It means liking yourself and moving forward with this business of life with animated spirit and optimism. Living a strategic life is something I believe in and became the basis of an e-Book (11 Steps to Living a Strategic Life) I co-authored with my long term friend George Ure at www.urbansurvival.com. See: 10 Steps to Living a Strategic Life 13. Have a survival mindset Even though it is listed at the bottom of this list, having a survival mindset is of utmost importance to your ability to prepare and stay focused on this all-important journey we call family preparedness. Reading this blog and others like it is the first step toward establishing a survival mindset. That, and having the will and the perseverance to keep going is what it takes to be an awesome Prepper. See: Survival Mindset: Preparedness as a Way of Life Part I and Survival Mindset: Preparedness as a Way of Life Part II and Survival Mindset: Preparedness as a Way of Life Part III Test Your Awesome Quotient Why not up your score to determine your awesome quotient? Are you a 1, a 13 or somewhere in between? Wherever you are, I promise not to rank you nor to judge. If anything, I want to make you realize that you are a lot better off than your thought your were, even if you are a newbie and just getting started. The passing score of this test is one just one and that is all I am going to say about that! The Final Word Are there other ways to become an awesome Prepper? Of course there are. To write about them would take days if not weeks and would fill a book and not just a single web page. That said, there is no magic potion that you can take to become an awesome prepper. It takes time, perseverance and diligence as well as the mindset to keep going in spite of set backs- real or perceived. Remember that knowledge and information is fluid. It does not start and stop; it only keeps on going. Over the coming months, I hope to refresh and revitalize topics that relate to the more practical side of being prepared everyday topics that will help us live our lives fully today as well as during a future that is filled with unknowns and uncertainties.

You can just leave those thereIll come back and get the rest, said Tollefson, hoping that his addition of a fourth folding chair to the three already secured under each of his arms would be seen and admired by all. Yeah, I got it. You guys can focus on packing up the AV equipment. At press time, sources confirmed that Tollefson was fairly certain that at least a few people had noticed he had chosen the heavier metal chairs over the plastic stackable ones. 
3	Virginia House Votes Unanimously to Legalize Hemp Farming, Nullifying Federal LawBy Michael Boldin Introduced by Del. Brenda Pogge (R-Norge), House Bill 699 (HB699) would amend current state law on hemp by removing a provision that authorized the licensing of hemp farming only upon approval of the federal government. As noted in the impact statement from the Department of Planning and Budget, the bill would also require the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services to adopt regulations as necessary to license persons to grow and process industrial hemp for any purpose. [emphasis added] Under the Code of Virginia, 3.2-4113 as passed into law in 2015 authorizes the state to issue licenses to farm and produce hemp for research purposes only under the Federal Farm Bill of 2014. If passed into law, HB699 would broaden the scope of hemp in the state to include the commercial manufacture of industrial hemp products. The bill also amends 3.2-4117 by removing a requirement for federal approval to allow individuals and businesses, rather than research institutions, to be licensed to grow and produce industrial hemp in the state. If passed, the new law would read, in part: No person licensed pursuant to 3.2-4115 or 3.2-4117 shall be prosecuted under 18.2-247, 18.2-248, 18.2-248.01, 18.2-248.1,18.2-250, or18.2-250.1 for the possession, cultivation or manufacture of industrial hemp plant material and seeds or industrial hemp products In short, this would cut the federal government completely out of the states hemp policy, as it should be, said Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center. This is exactly what is already happening in Vermont, Colorado, and other states. FEDERAL FARM BILL Early in 2014, President Barack Obama signed a new farm bill into law, which included a provision allowing a handful of states to begin limited research programs growing hemp. The hemp amendment allows State Agriculture Departments, colleges and universities to grow hemp, defined as the non-drug oil-seed and fiber varieties of Cannabis, for academic or agricultural research purposes, but it applies only to states where industrial hemp farming is already legal under state law. Current federal law authorizes the farming of hemp by research institutions only, for research only. Farming for commercial purposes by individuals and businesses remains prohibited. HB699 ignores federal prohibition and authorizes commercial farming and production anyway. OTHER STATES By rejecting any need for federal approval, passage of HB699 would set the stage to nullify the federal hemp ban in practice. Virginia would join with other states including Colorado, Oregon, South Carolina, Connecticut, Maine, North Dakota and Vermont that have simply ignored federal prohibition and legalized industrial hemp production within their state borders. While prospective hemp growers would still have to take federal law into consideration, by eliminating the state requirement for federal permission, Virginia Assembly can clear away a major obstacle to widespread commercial hemp farming within the borders of the state. Farmers in SE Colorado started harvesting the plant in 2013, and farmers in Vermont began harvesting in 2014, effectively nullifying federal restrictions on such agricultural activities. On Feb. 2 of last year, the Oregon hemp industry officially opened for business and one week later, the first license went to a small non-profit group. As more people engage in hemp production and the market grows within these states, more people will become emboldened creating an exponential wave, ultimately nullifying the federal ban in effect. HUGE MARKET FOR HEMP According to a 2005 Congressional Research Service report, the U.S. is the only developed nation that hasnt developed an industrial hemp crop for economic purposes. Experts suggest that the U.S. market for hemp is around $600 million per year. They count as many as 25,000 uses for industrial hemp, including food, cosmetics, plastics and bio-fuel. The U.S. is currently the worlds #1 importer of hemp fiber for various products, with China and Canada acting as the top two exporters in the world. During World War II, the United States military relied heavily on hemp products, which resulted in the famous campaign and government-produced film, Hemp for Victory!. HB699 represents an essential first step toward hemp freedom in the state of Virginia. We are Really Proud of this Historic Bill! It allows for Virginia to have the legal framework in place so that hemp businesses and hemp farmers can proceed with business plans and be protected from uncertainty, said the Virginia Industrial Hemp Coalition in a statement on Facebook. This will make Virginia one of the leaders in being Open for Hemp Business very soon. It will take 3-5 years to get the hemp industry really up and going and this is yet another great step! WHATS NEXT HB699 now moves to the Senate, where it will first be assigned to a committee for further consideration. If you live in Virginia: For action steps to help get this bill passed click HERE.

Image credit to TenthAmendmentCenter.com as well. Good for the courageous people of the State of Virginia to stand up to the federal bullies in Washington, DC. I applaud them for their commonsense and wish them great success as many useful byproducts can be made from the hemp plant. #1 importer of hemp fiber Its illegal to grow it. If that isnt the truest definition of retarded then I dont know what is! If only the states could nullify the federal income tax. The federal income tax is voluntary, so there is no need to nullify it. We simply have to come together to REFUSE it. KUDOS sittin there on that sack of seeds. Nice John Deere tractor! John Deere crossed over the line by trying to stranglehold farmers with exclusive software and no hack contracts. They dont take responsibility for crop losses caused by not being able to field repair their machine either. Hemp is a Miracle plant! This is HUGE. Hard to process the implications (as those who saw to its criminalization well knew). It is on the order of how much our economy will be TURBO CHARGED with Bernie Sanders in the Oval Office. Across the board quantum improvement! Most significantly, it is an important step to continue nailing the coffin lid down on the renegade petroleum industry, which is steadily destroying our eco-system and economy. Well we certainly hope this is not a ruse by the genetic corrupting corporation crowd to spread their diabolical patents into the markets. YOU CANNOT OUTLAW NATURE This article is inaccurate the bill does not ignore or nullify federal law. It merely puts in place a program that will be available to farmers AFTER the feds legalize the commercial production of industrial hemp. Without the bill farmers would be restricted by the requirements of the hemp research program even after federal authorization. George Washington grew hemp at Mount Vernon.

3	Aspartame in Milk Without a Label? Big Dairy Petitions FDA For Approvalselfnews Post The FDA currently allows the dairy industry to use nutritive sweeteners including sugar and high fructose corn syrup in many of their products. Nutritive sweeteners are defined as sweeteners with calories. This petition officially seeks to amend the standard of identification for milk, cream, and 17 other dairy products like yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and others to provide for the use of any safe and suitable sweetener on the market. They claim that aspartame and other artificial sweeteners would promote healthy eating and is good for school children. According to the FDA noticeissued this week: The IDFA and NMPF argue that the proposed amendments to the milk standard of identity would promote honesty and fair dealing in the marketplace yet they dont want changes to the labels on dairy products. Its unclear how consumers can more easily identify the overall nutritional value of milk products that are flavored with non-nutritive sweeteners without labels. QuotingSection 130.10 of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990, the dairy giants claim a new label is not required because sugar is added to milk without labeling it, and the modified food is not inferior in performance and reduced calorie (labels) are not attractive to children so marketing as such is of no benefit or detriment. The FDA has opened public comments until May 21 for anyone interested to submit comments, data, and information concerning the need for, and the appropriateness of, amending the standard of identity for milk and the additional dairy standards.

1	A little less than a decade ago, hockey fans were blessed with a slate of games every night, but on Thursday sources confirmed that for the ninth consecutive year NHL players have been locked out, with very slim hopes of an agreement in sight. It seems like just yesterday Martin St. Louis and his Lightning teammates were raising the Stanley Cup, high school hockey coach and onetime ESPN analyst Barry Melrose said. Obviously, Im still hoping the two sides can come together and reach an agreement, but Im starting to think nobody really misses hockey anymore. Nope. Nobody but old Barry. Id still love to catch an Atlanta Thrashers game. Observers have noted that when arena doors do reopen, the NHL will face the perhaps greater challenge of convincing fans to return to hockey instead of watching more popular sports like football, basketball, baseball, and SlamBall. 
3	Extreme Levels Of Herbicide Roundup Found In FoodEmily Cassidy The study, coming out in Junes issue of Food Chemistry and available online, looked at 31 different soybean plants on Iowa farms and compared the accumulation of pesticides and herbicides on plants in three categories 1) genetically engineered Roundup Ready soy, 2) conventionally produced (not GE) soy, and 3) soy cultivated using organic practices. They found high levels of Roundup on 70 percent of genetically engineered soy plants. Crop scientists have genetically engineered soy to survive blasts of Roundup so farmers can spray this chemical near crops to get rid of weeds. But some so-called super weeds resistant to Roundup have developed. In turn, some farmers use yet more Roundup to try to kill those hardy weeds. This leads to more Roundup chemicals being found on soybeans and ultimately in the food supply. Who says when Roundup contamination can be considered extreme? Monsanto itself. In 1999, the chemical giant defined an extreme level of the herbicide as 5.6 milligrams per kilogram of plant weight. This study demonstrated that Roundup Ready [GE]-soy may have high residue levels of glyphosate and also that different agricultural practices may result in a markedly different nutritional composition of soybeans . Lack of data on pesticide residues in major crop plants is a serious gap of knowledge with potential consequences for human and animal health. Other research has detected Roundup residues in animals and people. A study led by German researchers found high concentrations of glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, in the urine of dairy cows and humans. This study, published last January in the journal Environmental Analytical Toxicology, concluded that the presence of glyphosate residues in both humans and animals could haul the entire population towards numerous health hazards. Big Ag wants us to believe that there is no difference between GE and conventional crops, but mounting research tells us that just isnt true.

3	Russias End the Fed Movement Gains TractionBrandon Turbeville Thus, the Central Bank would be left only with regulatory duties, while placing the authority of setting interest rates in the hands of the Russian government. United Russia Deputy, Yevgeny Fyodorov, a supporter of the new legislation and a member of the Dumas Budget and Tax Committee, stated that shifting the responsibility of setting interest rates to the Russian government would enliven the Russian economy and create new jobs. Fyodorov also stated that the Central Bank, as it currently stands, holds itself apart from the problems of the Russian government and the Russsian economy in general. He claims that, if interest rates are set by the government as opposed to the Central Bank, they could be drastically reduced to the benefit of the economic activity. According to the Moscow Times, the Russian Central Bank currently holds interest rates at around 8% for 2012. However, Fyodorov claims that a 1% percent rate would be more appropriate and that an interest rate of this amount would make the Russian Central Bank more competitive with European banks. Going even further, Fyodorov told the Rossiiskaya Gazeta that the Russian Central Bank, which was only recently established in the 1990s, was set up from the very first to realize the goals of the United States. However, it is not the United States as a traditional enemy nation that is manipulating Russian currency, so much as it is the same coterie of international bankers that manipulates the American money supply via the private Federal Reserve and the entire Third World due to the IMF and World Bank. In all fairness, however, Fyodorovs statement is not completely without merit. This is because, after the fall of communism, the central bankers who dominate world finance have, through IMF shock therapy[1]and domestic manipulation of the Russian economy, largely slowed any growth in Russia, while feeding the American war machine to act as the battering ram for the implementation of the New World Order. Predictably, Fyodorovs plan is being met with both opposition and derision from the rest of the Russian political class. As reported by the Moscow Times, Prime Minister Dimitry Medvedevs cabinet has refused to support the legislation. Likewise, experts have almost universally suggested that Fyodorovs as ludicrous with some industry insiders suggested that the plan was making its rounds as joke emails. Such ridicule is reminiscient of the treatment dealt to the lone voices of reason in the political wilderness of America like Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich. Initially the criticisms of the private central bank are dismissed as conspiracy theory or fringe. But, as awareness increases and a movement grows with it, the need for an end to the private central banking system can no longer be relegated to the shadows. Fyodorov is, of course, not alone in his battle against the private central bank. Also supporting the bill are: Anton Romanov, member of the Energy Committee; Andrei Murgoi, member of the Financial Markets Committee; and Viktor Zvagelsky, deputy chairman of the Dumas Economic Policy, Innovation Development and Entrepreneurship Committee. Although Fyodorovs suggestions that such low interest rates at the highest levels will spur growth might bring with them some problems as well as benefits, the fact is that Fyodorov and his colleagues are undoubtedly on the right track. While it is unlikely that the private central bank will surrender any of its authority without a fight, it is high time that courageous Russians step into the ring. [1] Tarpley, Webster Griffin.

2	GRAPHIC: Muslim Babysitting Decapitates Little Girl And Then Does THIS SICKENING Thing [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a Muslim babysitter recently made the disgusting decision to decapitate the little girl she was caring for before walking through Moscow with the childs severed head. Authorities claim that the woman shouted Allahu Akbar as she appeared near Oktyabrskoye Pole metro station in the northwest of the Russian capital. She then threatened to blow herself up. The incident came hours after officers found the headless body of a child when they were called to a fire at a block of flats in the city. The young victim was identified as Nastya M. Her 38-year-old nanny Gyulchehre Bobokulova, who originates from Uzbekistan, has been arrested. She reportedly shouted that she killed the child as the officers closed in. Sources also say the babysitters told interrogators that she did not want to hide from the police, but instead aimed to draw maximum attention. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	Why do our elections always have to be like this in America? I am so sick of the media being run by a bunch of boys. I don't know what their problem is with WOMEN who run for executive office, but they're such assholes! All Sarah Palin ever wanted to do was become the second most powerful person in the world without having sweaty pictures of her on her campaign posters and her boyfriend messing around with other girls or whatever, but noooo, not in this country. As I've learned, the most important thing for Sarah Palin to remember right now is that she's cute and popular. Trust me, that will get you through any trouble, especially a PIECE OF SHIT BOYFRIEND LIKE DEREK TELERICO. Next time, after I'm done with my Media Arts project, I'll be giving a little bit of an inside look at what it's like to be Barack Obama running for president in this racist nation! 
1	Two years after making the decision to quit drinking once and for all, local man and recovering alcoholic Julian Bradford, 35, told reporters Monday he now realizes that he doesnt need friends to have a good time. For so long, I thought that hanging out with my friends was the only way for me to have any fun, but it turns out I can have just as great a time without them, said Bradford, who according to sources hasnt had a drink or a night out with his buddies since 2012. It was tough at first, but now that alcohols out of my life, I finally understand that I dont need companionship to keep myself entertained. Now, I can have a perfectly enjoyable evening, by myself, watching TV, all without having so much as a single friend. The sad thing is, I came to rely on being with friends every night, and that led me down the wrong path, he continued. I didnt see it thenor maybe I just didnt want to see itbut those pals were terrible for me. And realizing I can live a happy life without them around is the greatest feeling in the world. A longtime alcoholic, Bradford reportedly made the decision to end his dependence on friendship after years of wild nights on the town, at which point the local electrical supply salesman ceased drinking and engaging in group activities of any kind. Bradford confirmed that with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in which he spent an hour every other day sitting in a church basement with a group of complete strangers, he was gradually able to wean himself off of his decades-long friendships that had taken a toll on his life and left him devastated. Bradford told reporters he has since come to understand that its no longer necessary for him to have a friend by his side at all times to enjoy a baseball game or a movie, saying that giving up camaraderie was the best decision he has ever made. Of course I still think about socializing from time to time, but whenever I get tempted to make a phone call to Andy or Daveeven just one little textI put my phone away and go for a walk alone to settle my mind, Bradford said. I remind myself that just one night with them is all it would take to bring me back to that old social life I dont want. And if I hang out with one bud, I just know Id end up hanging out with a bunch, and I know exactly where that would lead me. According to Bradford, at his worst he would sometimes see his friends before noon or even meet up with them during his lunch break at work, saying that for several years he fraternized every day of the week. Looking back, Bradford said he deeply disliked the person he became when he joked around with friends, noting that he was often extremely loud and obnoxious, and that hes happy to now enjoy more quiet pursuits like reading and listening to music alone in his one-bedroom apartment. The unmarried man told reporters that he was able to quit friendship cold turkey, and has not so much as attended a single housewarming party since going clean. Today, Bradford, who no longer touches beer, wine, or liquor, said he has no regrets about giving up his past life of summer barbecues, recreational softball leagues, and nights relaxing with friends in his living room. For a while, it seemed like I was spending every single moment partying and screwing around with the guys, said Bradford, who noted that he now actively avoids any group outings or social situations in which he may come in contact with his former buddies. Honestly, it got to the point where I couldnt go a day without spending time with at least one friend; and youd often find me in my basement kicking back with as many as 10 or 12 of them in one evening. Hell, sometimes Id pass out on the couch surrounded by my buds and then start hanging out with them the second I woke up the next morning. I finally realized that if I didnt stop spending all my time with these people, Id probably end up doing it for the rest of my life, he added. While Bradford asserted that his life is vastly improved now that he has freed himself from his deep-rooted reliance on friendship, the nondrinker acknowledged to reporters the importance of remaining disciplined in avoiding the temptations of companionship, claiming that, as someone who was predisposed to enjoying long, crazy nights spent living it up with his friends, he continues to be at risk of falling off the wagon and returning to his old habits of being social. Ive heard the horror stories about people who think they can handle just one concert or trip to the beach, and before you know it, theyre back to their former ways, spending an entire weekend with their old pals like they used to, the recovering alcoholic said. But thats the last thing I want to happen to me. And as long as I stay away from booze, he continued, Im confident Ill never run into my old friends ever again. 
3	Illinois to Postpone Pension Payments: We Are out of Money NowBy Joshua Krause Theyre essentially rationing and juggling the finances of their public institutions until the government comes up with a budget. This has resulted in a frightening situation for Illinois retirees, since the state has announced that theyre going to hold off on paying their pension department for the near future. According to Comptroller Leslie Munger, Illinois will have to postpone a $560 million payment that was due to the states retirees in November, and the system wont be paid in full until June. Munger told reporters on Wednesday that this decision is choosing the least of a number of bad options. However, she wouldnt go so far as to use scary words like bankruptcy insolvency or default, even though they perfectly describe the financial mess that her state is in. She told the reporters that for all intents and purposes, we are out of money now. Image Credit: Bryan Brandenburg Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author. You can follow Joshuas reports at Facebook or on his personal Twitter. Joshuas website is Strange Danger. How do you write such a POS and half truths and call yourself a serious writer? Easy. Ignore verifiable sourcing. Thank you!!! Exactly!!

1	Ever mindful of the skyrocketing cost of medical care, members of the Skolnick family told reporters Friday that the household sets aside a little from each paycheck so that if the time ever comes, theyll be able to blow it all on a single health scare. You never know when you may have to pointlessly throw away every penny youve got on a round of medical tests that all come back negative, said Paula Skolnick, 48, noting that while the family is far from rich, they are prepared for thousands of dollars to be drained from their savings the moment one of them presents symptoms that look very much like, but turn out not to be, cancer or heart disease. Were making little sacrifices every day to ensure we have a future in which all of our hard-earned money can be spent on surgery to remove a tumor that we later find out was completely benign. The mother of two added that should someone in her family actually develop a serious illness, she and her husband would of course not be able to afford the treatment. 
1	Law enforcement officials investigated a disturbance Sunday afternoon following reports of a screaming gay man being dragged across a lake behind a boat. We received multiple accounts of two male suspects forcefully pulling a young gay man behind their motorboat at high speeds, said Sgt. Michael Bosch of the Norwood Police Department, who noted that people on shore observed the gay man frantically waving and shouting the entire time he was yanked through the water by a 75-foot length of rope. Witnesses indicated that the two suspects appeared to enjoy putting the gay man through this ordeal, even laughing out loud at him when he yelled that they were going too fast. Sources further confirmed that any time the gay man became disconnected from the boat, the two men quickly reattached him so they could continue dragging him across the lake. 
1	In preparation for the traditional task of welcoming his successor to the Oval Office, outgoing president George W. Bush canceled all his appointments and press conferences Monday so he could spend the day outfitting his desk with a series of traps, gags, and hair-trigger switches. 'Oh, man, is he gonna get it,' the president said after rearranging the letters on his computer keyboard and supergluing the direct-line-to-the-Pentagon telephone to its base. 'If the 44th president is anything like me, he'll grab this can of peanuts to snack on when he's talking to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and when he doesbam! Right in his face!' As one of his last official acts in office, Bush reportedly rigged the presidential drawers, chair, and ceiling fan with a number of inconveniencing though harmless devices, including Vaseline-covered pens, fishing-line trip wires, a saltshaker with the top unscrewed, a fake set of nuclear launch codes, an inflated whoopee cushion, and a drawerful of pickles. After backing slowly away from his desk, the president informed his top aides that, if he can get back from the inauguration quickly enough, he also plans to place a bag of canine excrement near the Rose Garden door and set it aflame. 'The commander in chief has successfully executed this mission with precision and decisiveness,' said White House press secretary Dana Perino, speaking to reporters with large black circles around her eyes. 'Unfortunately, he is not able to return to his desk for the remainder of his term due to all the thumb tacks, but he will continue to lead the nation from the Roosevelt Room.' Taking his place in a long history of executive office shenanigans that began with President Martin Van Buren's famous sneezing-in-Jackson's-coffee prank of 1837, Bush carefully drafted his personal letter to the next president on White House stationery, filled the envelope with glitter, and then used rubber cement to secure the letter to the bottom of his desk's right-hand drawer. In what may turn out to be his greatest presidential prank, Bush also has spent the previous eight years damaging the American economy beyond repair and bogging the country down in an unwinnable war with a sovereign Middle Eastern nation. 
3	New Study Links Aluminium Intake to Osteoporosis and Alzheimers Disease - How to Reduce ExposureAndrew Puhanic, Contributor The human body can tolerate 1mg of aluminium per 1kg of bone weight before it begins to accumulate in the brain. ASTONISHINGLY, it was found that up to 139.2 milligrams of aluminium per person could be consumed in one meal depending on how the food was prepared. It is common practice around the world to cook, prepare and store food in aluminium. When aluminium is cold, leakage into food is minimal. However, when food is prepared in environments above 150c (302f), aluminium leakage into food becomes alarming. The researchers examined five different types of meat (beef, water buffalo, mutton, chicken, and turkey) that were packed in aluminium foil and cooked in ovens at various temperatures above 150c. It was also identified that fat content in meat, in addition to the cooking process, impacted on how much aluminium was found in food. 1) Ordinarily, drinking water contains low levels of aluminium. Therefore, try to avoid drinking water and fizzy drinks that are stored in aluminium containers. 2) Avoid using antiperspirants (deodorants) that contain aluminium. Many leading brands of antiperspirants contain large quantities of aluminium. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology found that long-term exposure of human mammary epithelial cells to aluminium resulted in an elevated risk of developing cancer. 3) It is recommended to take calcium, magnesium and zinc supplements to help prevent your body from accumulating high levels of aluminium. 4) There are alternative remedies and food that can help detox the body of aluminium. Lemon Juice, Turmeric, Garlic, Kelp and Cilantro are all widely used to detox the body of Aluminium. Also, soaking your feet for 30 minutes or more in a solution of Epsom salts (1/2 cup) and sea salt (1/2 cup) can remove aluminium through your feet. For more information on how to remove aluminium from your diet, click here. Final Remarks This study concluded that aluminium foil is not suitable for cooking, especially with food that is highly acidic, and that ingestion of food baked with aluminium foil could aid the development of life-threatening illnesses. There is enough evidence now to suggest that people who are exposed to high levels of aluminium are at risk of developing terminal illnesses and other complications to their health. The difficulty we all face is that aluminium is used in almost all of our foods. In comparison to the difficulties we face in removing fluoride from our diet, aluminium is so prevalent that its almost impossible to remove all artificially derived aluminium from our lives. THE best thing we can do is create awareness in our community about the dangers of aluminium and seek the government to label the risks of exposure to aluminium, especially when cooking.

3	Reality and Consciousness: Writing ContestLyn Willmott Maybe I should explain: Dusk was creeping into the small shelter where I sat dreamily listening to the night sounds. As I heard the birds settling I was able to pitch my attention towards what I have always felt to be a Cosmic Intelligence but for first time I fully understood that this intelligence WAS the darkness! It WAS the energetic vitality inside the birds! It WAS both outside an inside me! As I felt the enormity of this Intelligence I seemed to slip sideways, so for a moment I was able to perceive that there was a cosmic intelligence inside the bird as it flew through the cosmic intelligence of the air. The bird was like a flutter of shadows flickering through a vibrating field of energy. As this phenomena plunged into my deepest understanding I became aware that what we understand as physical existence is illusionary. This is the dream we are all dreaming. Science tells us reality is ninety nine percent space with a scattering of atoms forming matter; forming you, forming me, forming the trees, the night sky, the birds in flight everything. Its where we live; inside a dream but to fully understand we have to wake up! So, in this 3rd dimensional world do we exist as cosmic entities attached to a programmed physical form? Are our minds similar to some computer program, constantly being re-written via our DNA? We appear to move physically through the events that make up our lives but we are not our bodies! This message has been reinforced by many shamans and gurus. We are more than our bodies! It seems that science is joining in the chorus, suggesting our world could be a hologram. This brings me to the amazing life of Dr Jill Bolte Taylor. You can view her TED lecture on the internet. A blood clot in the left hemisphere of her brain burst and as the clot grew she found herself crossing from one cerebral cortex to the other, living momentarily in the logical left brain she calls a serial processor, then as the clot moved her awareness would switch to the right brain, where she found everything exists in a magnificent silence, with no mind chatter. She calls this right brain experience Nirvana. Jills fight to survive was a travesty for she kept shifting from the practical left brain to the floating spaciousness of the right brain, but as this trauma unfolded her understanding of brain function became unprecedented. David Icke feels that understanding the nature of reality will help us wake up. He says we need to observe this world from the point of the observer, which is what Krishnamurti used to say. David explains it this way: our five senses pick up the vibrational information within the field of consciousness, decoding it into electrical signals which feed into the brain which then transmits the information into this construct we perceive as 3D reality. The mind decodes this illusion into a seemingly solid reality, yet the only place this world exists is inside our heads. Both the observed and the experiencer can be found within the program of the conscious mind. His interview is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4UyEUldOLQfeature=relmfu Recently, while listening to Anthony Peake speaking about Consciousness, my bird experience made even more sense. In addition to space Peake was suggesting that because every electron knows the location of every other electron, they are all part of one whole within the framework of matter. If we accept this idea that reality is a series of flat 2D pictures decoded by the brain into 3D, then every electron will be connected to every other electron! Also Anthony examined the question of how we use our senses. He explained that when we look out a window and see a tree, the actual image we are seeing is very badly distorted. I followed his logic until I looked out my own window at the tree in the garden and knew the trunk would feel solid! Trees are solid, I muttered in despair. So how can we accept this idea that we are constantly creating our reality when our senses tell us everything is solid? My excitement evaporated and I was back struggling with the observer is the observed. Then I remembered my bird experience. Ninety nine percent of all matter is cosmic vibration so my solid hand touching the solid tree must be a frequency thing created by this intricate mental program. Just as David Icke suggests; its a process controlling the body/ego consciousness, allowing us to function as if the illusion is real! So this scattering of vibrating atoms creates the mirage because in this dimension all frequency is on the same bandwidth. Many psychically orientated people are aware of a host of dimensions. Graham Hancock, John Lilley, Don Juan and many others have used drugs to alter their brains chemical structure, opening up a vista of realities most are unaware of. Sargent Clifford Stone talks about this reality being held within a certain time frame, suggesting it is wise for us to simply live in this continuous reality. He talks about a natural barrier between this world and other probable realities and is certain that various entities inhabit the many dimensions that exist along side ours. Seems chemical alterations to the brain allow humans to experience other realities; places where people events and experiences are equally as solid as our own virtual reality. Trouble is, examining the results of ingesting substances like DMT, LSD, Ayahuasca, or Peyote raises more questions than answers. Looking at the experiences of the Indian Yogi our perception changes yet again. A quote from the Autobiography of a Yogi where Yogananda is relating a story about the great Yogi, Trailanga: Great saints who have awakened from the cosmic mayic dream and have realised this world as an idea in the Divine Mind, can do what they wish with the body, knowing it to be only a manipulatable form of condensed or frozen energy. So to make the leap into a full understanding of how we operate something has to give. Do we try to let go of this deep subconscious programming that has led us to believe we are functioning as physical human beings or can we look towards the wise men, saints and yogis who seem quite at ease with the idea that we exist within the mind of some mighty Cosmic being? David Icke suggests the experience is what existence is all about; we live through a series of experiences which contribute to the collective consciousness. Having said that, Ive realised that my experiences have come about because of who I am. Indeed if I survey my past, the pattern of who I really am is staring me in the face. Its laughable its so simple. But thinking of the body as a particle/wave construct, is there is a chance we can heal ourselves? If the mind holds a programmed construct of our physicality there could be a way of updating the old program. Many people have had spontaneous healings so there must be some mechanism that can be tinkered with to bring about physical renewal. My flimsy understanding is grinding towards some vague realisation that could differ from other peoples awareness and I honour that. Each perception is unique in this world of smoke and mirrors. Nevertheless we are making progress towards discovering who we really are, and this is vital if we are going to wake up. linkwithin_text=Related Articles:

2	U.S. Airstrikes Hit ISIS Bases In Syria According to recent reports, United States fighter jets recently struck Syrian targets in an operation that was launched against ISIS from the Incirlik airbase in Turkey. The news comes shortly after reports were released of a renewed rebel offensive on Syrian government forces. Sixe F-16 strike fighters were reportedly deployed. The United States forces stationed in Turkey have been conducting drone operations against ISIS for some time now, but the attack yesterday marked the first manned missions from Turkey. The decision is part of an arrangement reached with President Erdogan. The United States and Turkey, as members of the 60-plus nation coalition, are committed to the fight against ISIL in the pursuit of peace and stability in the region, a statement from the mission to NATO commented. Sources confirmed that no Turkish fighter jets were involved in the strikes, as Ankara remains reluctant to take part in the fight, citing fears of backlash. They have received immense criticism for that decision. Ankara has also labeled the Kurds as terrorists, although they have been the only ground force in the region to have success fighting ISIS. What do you think? Do you support the United States finally taking action? 
2	BREAKING: Obamas Daughter BUSTED By The Cops For Doing This At the Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama tried to use her daughters as shining examples of just how far America has come. But the fact is that the young Obamas are pushing the limits as any teenager doesand probably even further. According to new reports, Malia Obama was spotted at a party in Marthas Vineyard recently. It was eventually broken up by police because of noise complaints. The first daughter was immediately rushed from the party by Secret Service before the cops arrived. The West Tisbury police declined to confirm if Malia was there, citing national security. But the truth surfaced anyway. This is just one incident in a string of wild behavior on Malias part. Just a month ago the first daughter came under fire when photos surfaced of her smoking marijuana at a concert. Malia is clearly using her gap year before Harvard to party and experiment. Later, Malia and Barack were spotted strolling around a pool together having a chat. Were sure he had a few choice words for her. Clearly, a lack of respect for the law runs deep in this family. 
1	Profiles In Fear On Jan. 26, just four days after visiting the doctor for what he thought was severe indigestion or maybe an ulcer, Russ Kunkel got the dreaded news: A malignant, fist-sized tumor had metastasized between his stomach and liver. It was cancer. Russ Kunkel with wife Judith and son Jake. Right then and there, faced with the prospect of a life-threatening disease, the 34-year-old Florissant, MO, husband and father of three drew a deep breath and made a firm resolution to himself: I am not going to fight this. I am a dead man. On Feb. 20, less than a month after he was first diagnosed, Kunkel died following a brief, cowardly battle with stomach cancer. 'Most people, when they find out they've got something terrible like this, dig deep down inside and tap into some tremendous well of courage and strength they never knew they had,' said Judith Kunkel, Russ' wife of 11 years. 'Not Russ. The moment he found out he had cancer, he curled up into a fetal ball and sobbed uncontrollably for three straight weeks.' Said Judith: 'I can still remember Russ' last words: 'Oh, GodI'm going to die! Why, God, why? Why me? Why not someone else?'' According to Russ' personal physician, Dr. James Wohlpert, the type of cancer Russ had generally takes at least four months to advance to the terminal stage. But because of what he described as a 'remarkable lack of fighting spirit,' the disease consumed him in less than one. 'It's rare that you see someone give up that quickly and completely,' Wohlpert said. 'Cancer is a powerful disease, but most people can at the very least delay the spread of it by maintaining a positive outlook and mental attitude. This, however, was not the case with Russ.' Russ' friends and acquaintances saw that same lack of fighting spirit. 'Russ did not go quietly, that's for sure,' said longtime friend Bobby Dwyer. 'He did a tremendous amount of screaming.' 'During the three days he spent at work before the pain got too bad, I saw a very different Russ,' said Arnold Tolliver, a co-worker at the Florissant electronics store where Russ had been employed for the past six years. 'He was always telling the customers how tragic it was that he wouldn't outlive his kids, reminding me that every day is a gift cruelly torn from his fingers, and grabbing somebody, anybody, by the shirt and screaming into their face that he didn't want to die.' In those final days, like so many who realize their day of reckoning is near, Russ Kunkel turned to a higher power. 'Russ came to me in his time of need,' said Pastor Charles Bourne of Holy Christ Almighty Lutheran Church. 'But when I tried to comfort him by saying he would be with God soon, he only stopped bawling long enough to say, 'Fuck God. There is no God.' I had to get a couple acolytes to help me pry him out from underneath the pews.' When the end finally came, Russ Kunkel died red-eyed, trembling and hysterical in the attic of his home, where, in the depths of his fear, he was convinced the Reaper would look last. On that day, his 5-year-old daughter Bailey awoke to an unnerving quiet, the usual terror-choked sobs and shrieks of her father strangely absent from the morning air. Alarmed, she ran to her mother's side. 'Bailey was yelling, 'Daddy stopped crying! Daddy stopped crying!'' Judith said. 'Somehow, though she's still very young, she understood.' On Monday, Russ Kunkel was laid to rest at Shady Grove Cemetery in Florissant. More than 200 people gathered to bid farewell. And just as Russ had requested shortly before his death, the funeralgoers wailed loudly and gnashed their teeth, cursing the heavens for the unfair hand dealt their loved one. 'The day before Russ died,' Judith recalled, 'he took my hand and said to me, 'At my funeral, I don't want people to wear bright colors and smile and laugh fondly at the wonderful memories of the precious time we spent together on Earth. Tell them to wear black and cover their faces with ash. Tell them to weep bitter tears and rail angrily against the cruel God who took me at so young an age. Do this for me, my beloved.'' Added Judith: 'He also told me not to move on from this tragedy by one day finding love in the arms of another. He said he couldn't bear the thought of me with someone else, and that the best way I could honor his memory was by never building a new life for myself.' 'They say it is in times of great trial that a man's true colors show,' said Russ' best friend, Larry Ahrens, summing up the feelings of those who knew the man. 'And in Russ' case, he had a yellow streak a mile wide.' 
1	Calling the recent scandal nothing more than a witch hunt, famed athletes Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, and Alex Rodriguez issued a joint statement Tuesday vehemently defending the New England Patriots against accusations that the team cheated by using deflated footballs in last weeks AFC Championship Game. First and foremost, it is irresponsible for anyone to lobby accusations such as these without indisputable proof, read the statement, which echoed the official stances of Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Marion Jones, Ryan Braun, Luis Suarez, Ben Johnson, Tim Donaghy, and the entire roster of the 1972 U.S.S.R. Olympic basketball team, all of whom have also staunchly come out in support of the Patriots this week. It could have been the cold weather, or it easily could have been the result of breaking the balls in during warmups. Plus, what advantage could it have possibly provided? They were heavy favorites to win in the first place. Regardless, Bill Belichick and Tom Brady gave us their word that they had no knowledge of any tampering and, quite frankly, that should be enough. The statement concluded that, should the Patriots be found guilty, one black mark would certainly not invalidate all of their past achievements. 
2	Obama Accuses Trump Of Playing On White Middle Class Fears It is no secret that President Barack Obamas approval ratings are in the gutter, in large part due to his failed policies while serving in the White House. Of course, Obama is the last to acknowledge that anything has gone askew, and when it doeshe is the last person to take any credit for it. In a recent interview, Obama went after GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, and specifically pointed his finger at working class white Americans. On National Public Radio, Obama accused Trump of playing off the fears of white, working-class men to get votes. According to The Times, Obama claimed that Trump is exploiting the resentment and anxieties of working-class men to boost his campaign. Obama then reportedly went on to claim that part of the reason his approval ratings are so low are because he is the first African American President in the White House. There is going to be potential anger, frustration, fearsome of it justified, but just misdirected, Obama continued. I think somebody like Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that. Thats what hes exploiting during the course of his campaign. Obama cannot blame Trump for his abysmal approval ratings. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama blaming everybody else for the problems he has caused? 
2	Welfare Recipients Everywhere Just Got Some Very Bad News... According to recent reports, the Missouri Senate just voted to override Governor Jay Nixons veto of a bill that restricts eligibility for state welfare recipients. If passed, the bill could bar thousands of low-income families from receiving assistance. The bill would also cut back the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program to a 3-year-program rather than 5. It will also impose stricter work requirements for eligibility. The House is expected to pass the bill, even though opponents of the measure claim that it will be detrimental to the children of the families that dont qualify. I dont sign bills that hurt kids, period, Gov. Jay Nixon told reporters. Others argue that the cuts will drive low-income families toward a life of crime. Supporters of the measure, however, argue that it will encourage welfare users to find work. Right now, this program is actually causing more of a dependency on government, Sen. David Sater told reporters. I want to stop that. I want to see families on their own, self-sufficient. What do you think of the measure? Do you support increasing the requirements for welfare recipients? 
3	The disposition matrix: more details about Obamas secret drone kill list, major mysteries remainMadison Ruppert We have never known all that much about how the secret kill list works, as I pointed out in my first article on the subject in 2011. Since that time, attempts to learn more were repeatedly thwarted in court until a federal judge finally ruled that the Obama administration never has to explain the legal basis for the program. However, Attorney General Eric Holder has assured the world that the secret reviews of classified evidence based on secret criteria conducted in secret by unidentified individuals count as due process. The disposition matrix term was first made public in an October 2012 article in The Washington Post which identified the matrix as a new blueprint for pursuing terrorists, a next-generation targeting list. The matrix isnt only used for slating targets to be killed by drone, it is also used to identify individuals to be captured and interrogated. While individuals in Somalia and Yemen whose names are placed into the matrix will continue to be targeted for drone strikes, the Guardian states that those individuals are only part of the picture. An unknown number would end up in the so-called black sites that the US still quietly operates in east Africa, or in prisons run by US allies in the Middle East or Central Asia, Ian Cobain writes for the British news outlet which was blocked from Army networks recently. The matrix includes their suspected or known locations and a range of options for their disposal. One must wonder what kind of threat these individuals must pose to the United States and/or U.S. interests. If it is the brand of imminent threat revealed in a Justice Department white paper earlier this year, it would mean that just about anyone could be included in the matrix. Indeed, the white paper revealed that people can be targeted for killing without clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future. Cobain points out that the matrix both blurs and expands the boundaries that human rights law and the law of war place upon acts of abduction or targeted killing. There have been claims that peoples names have been entered into it with little or no evidence, Cobain reports. And it appears that it will be with us for many years to come. Unsurprisingly, the British intelligence services have been working with the United States on the program. It is far from surprising when one realizes that the British have been implicated in drone strikes in the past and that the British intelligence agency GCHQ is working closely with the National Security Agency to collect the worlds data by directly tapping in to fiber optic cables. The British government has increasingly used their power under the 2006 Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act to strip British dual nationals of their British citizenship. British Home Secretary Theresa May has used this power with increasing frequency, according to the Guardian, usually stripping British citizenship from individuals after they have left the country. While individuals can appeal the governments decision, the appeals are heard at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission, where the British government can submit evidence that cannot be seen or challenged by the appellant, according to the Guardian. At least 17 people have been stripped of their British citizenship thanks to Mays approval, but more details about the manner in which this power has been used are thin. The role the British government plays in the disposition matrix is similarly mysterious, since the UK routinely refuses to either confirm or deny that they share intelligence with the U.S. government in support of drone strikes. According to the British government, to divulge such information would damage national security and British-American relations.

'We have made contact with Shaq's camp and have told his people that we would love for him to meet with us, and just hang out and stuff,' said Atlanta Hawks president Bob Williams, adding that he was impressed with O'Neal's passion and the sense of humor he displayed in Cleveland. 'Our scouts feel that even after all these years, Shaq can still contribute in small ways, especially at parties and informal get-togethers. Say what you want about him, but he's the kind of guy you want to call up and watch a basketball game with.' O'Neill told reporters he's ready to make a commitment to friendship for $8 million per year. 
2	Disloyal GOP Geraldo Tried To Mock Trump In Front Of Eric Bolling, Eric DESTROYED Geraldo, Youll Cheer Trump-backing Eric Bolling and secret Hillary supporter Geraldo Rivera have a long history of sparring with each other on The Five on Fox News. A couple years ago they almost came to blows when Rivera said something sleazy and Bolling shot back, From a guy that exploits and sensationalized everything. This caused Rivera to throw his stack of papers on his desk and scream at Bolling, Are you talking to me? Youre lucky youre my friend or I would knock you out right now. Bolling then tried to calm Rivera down by saying, Well take this up later. Rivera was still angry and yelled, That is absolute bogus BS! They then had to cut to a commercial while Rivera regained his composure. Recently Rivera tried to make Donald Trump look bad by screeching, Well I think that you are not emphasizing strongly enough what a gift Donald Trump gave to Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton had not just two bad weeks she had two horrifying weeks.On Sunday, on 9/11 she collapsed on video. People looked at her as frail and elderly. Everybody was talking about is she fit, physically fit to be president of the United States? Now what are they going to be talking about, not about her fitness. Not about any of the other scandals that continue to plague her. They are going to be talking about Donald Trump and birtherism. Bolling shut him up by saying, He was smart took 20 to 25 seconds, hegot rid of it, he dismissed and moved on. She is on the ropes. He has a 36-hour news cycle all about him. He dismissed it appropriately in 25 seconds. Its done.Its gone. Do you think Eric did a great job silencing idiot Geraldo over Trump? 
2	We Should Kill Muslims With Bullets Dipped In Pigs Blood What He says After Is More SHOCKING Trumps sound bites can be played for a week straight and there would still be a full months left to listen to. The man can talk for hours about anything at all. The crazy thing is that he keeps everyone listening entertained. HE could be talking about French fries and somehow cause a Liberal to scream in objection for using French in a derogatory manner. The man can draw a crowd and everyone in that crowd will listen. HE has been heard calling his followers stupid and poorly educated. What kind of man can get away with saying such things? Recently he made a statement regarding water boarding. Trump said that he believes waterboarding to be an affective form of torture. He says nothing is better than getting a man to tell you what you wanted to hear. When someone is being water boarded their sinuses and lungs are being filled with water. They are being drowned without being in water. It is a sick method of torture. Trump does not shy away from any form of confrontation. He is a man of his word and will tell you he hates you to your face. His candor is refreshing, but it is still not what this country needs. If he could be a balance between him and Rubio then I would vote for him. He recently said that soldiers should dip their bullets in pigs blood before going to battle against any Muslims. Muslims look at pigs like they look at shit. They are the lowest of the low and believe that if they touch a pig then they will be treated to the after life. Pigs are to them as strippers are to a married man. The statement released by Trump was shocking to say the least. The best part about this entire situation is that Trump does not apologize. Trump could go insult a working mother of 4 and HE would still think he did what was needed. He is that type of person. He believes that what he is doing is good regardless of the actions he actually takes. 
1	Seven-time Tour De France winner Lance Armstrong, who was yet again cleared of doping charges last week by the International Cycling Union (UCI), said Monday he was just glad that his former sport's governing body does not currently test for the use of heroin. 'I'm not saying I was a regular user, but let's put it this way: Without smack, there's no way anyone could finish the Tour De France, let alone win it,' Armstrong told the audience at a cancer-awareness banquet.

The UCI would not respond to Armstrong's comments, saying only that under current policies, any cyclist caught in possession of heroin within three days will have the drug confiscated by race officials. 
2	Colorado Shooters Foul History Will Make You Gag In Disgust Robert Lewis Dear, a 57 year old lunatic, killed 3 people in the recent Colorado Shooting. This wasnt the first time he had trouble with the law. He has been abusing his wife throughout their marriage of 18 years. One time he pushed her out of the window of a two story building. The wife stayed with him because they were raising two kids together. What an incredible sacrifice by her. Dear was also arrested for stalking and making sexual advances toward a neighbor. In 2002 Dear shot and killed his own dog with a pellet gun. He denied this charge and got rid of the evidence. This man is a menace to society, and he either needs to be put in a mental ward for life, or sentenced to death. Do you think his actions warrant the death penalty? 
2	Obama Reveals He Has Serious Health Problems Could Be Leaving Office Early According to recent reports, President Obama is showing signs that he is suffering from a serious illness. Of course, he is not being honest to the American public about it. Obama refused to release his medical records during the 2008 election. Instead, he offered only a one-page letter from his family doctor. Some experts believe that his refusal is connected to the fact that he was a smoker for many years, and could be suffering from the impacts of that. Others also suspect that he has a history of drug abuse that could damage his reputation if revealed. We do know that Obama has been hospitalized several times while in the White House, and hes aged dramatically in the past seven years. What do you think? Is this another secret Obama is hiding from the American people? 
1	Hoping to send a message that this type of behavior would not be tolerated on the campaign trail, the Federal Election Commission announced Thursday that it had suspended Hillary Clinton for three weeks for spitting on one of her campaign volunteers. We are extremely disappointed in Ms. Clintons decision to spit directly in the face of an unpaid volunteer who misplaced her daily itinerary, and we have determined that she is to be prohibited from engaging in any campaign-related activities from July 14 to August 4, 2015, said FEC chair Ann M. Ravel, adding that the presidential hopeful would not be allowed to enter her headquarters or any other Hillary For America facilities as part of her punishment. During her suspension, Ms. Clinton may not have any form of contact with members of her team, and she will also be expected to pay a $15,000 fine to the Commission. We hope that she uses this time to consider how her actions reflect on the electoral system, as well as the expectations that come with the privilege of running in this race. Ravel added that their ruling took into consideration Clintons history of campaign misconduct, including an incident in 2008 when she was ejected from a Democratic primary debate after headbutting moderator Charles Gibson. 
3	CDC whistleblower William Thompson in grave danger nowJon Rappoport He was in fact one of the authors of the 2004 De Stefano study that has been accused of hiding true data linking the MMR vaccine to autism. Thompson once worked for Merck. Questions abound. Does Thompson know his name has been released? Was it done with his permission? Is he going come forward and make a statement? William W Thompson, PhDthe CDC whistleblowerwas escorted off the premises of the CDC campus yesterday afternoon. This is what a source has just told me. Therefore, the CDC knows Thompson is the whistleblower. Hes in danger. Ive also been told that the Autism Media Channel, which had posted the video revealing Thompsons name and outing him, is gone. The site is suddenly gone. (http://www.autismmediachannel.com/) Threats of various kinds, at the very least, will now be applied to Thompson. Legal action, perhaps arrest, perhaps worse. When it comes to vaccines and protecting that empire, the games are very serious. Deadly serious. The gloves come off. People have to understand this, if Thompson disappears or shows up dead as a suicide. Since Thompson isnt, as of this moment, stepping forward himself to provide full disclosure on his past actions, and since his name is already out there.the best protection he has is other people. Other people making his name and his dangerous situation known. That has to happen now. Prior to this morning, Thompson had been standing in the shadows as an anonymous source, admitting that he cooked data to hide a connection between autism and the MMR vaccine. Now other things are known. In 2007, he published a study on the effects of mercury (thimerosal) on babies and very young childrenand he concluded that there were both positive and negative effects, but the effects on both sides were very small. The study was used by the press and the government to trumpet the idea (the lie) that everybody could rest easy; vaccines containing mercury werent harming anyone. Now, this, too, comes under scrutiny. If Thompson was lying about the MMR vaccine, did he also lie about mercury and its toxic effects? Did he intentionally underplay those effects? Did he cook the data in that study, too? Thompson has been working at NCIR, the CDCs National Center for Immunizations and Respiratory Diseasesuntil yesterday. NCIR includes, in its mission statement, the following: prevention of disease, disability, and death through immunization In other words, its a PR agency that promotes vaccines. Actual science about vaccine dangers would be cut off at the pass. Thompson is looked at as a threat to this agenda. His unwillingness to come all the way forward, speak his name, tell the whole truth has boomeranged on him. Predictable. Psychiatric detention and drugging, threats of lawsuits for violating confidentiality agreements, arrest, youll never get a job again, and sudden suicide are all possibilities. Shining a very bright light on Thompson and his situation is his best hope now.

Barbara Boxer broke down and attacked a crowd of Bernie Sanders supporters at the Nevada Democratic convention Saturday. Boxer, who might as well be Hillary Clinton, took to the Las Vegas stage with the intention to unify the Democratic Party. I bring a message from Bernie Sanders and I bring a message from Hillary Clinton, she commented. We need civility in the Democratic Part. Civility. She was met with boos from the crowd of socialist supporterswho were angry that Sanders had lost the Nevada caucus. When you boo me youre booing Bernie Sanders, Boxer commented. Go ahead. Bernie is my friend. You want to boo Bernie, boo me. Go on, youre booing Bernie. Youre booing Bernie. When the boos continued she really lost her cool. Lets hear it for Hillary Clinton! she began cheering. We have the votes, we have the voice, we have victory! I grew up in Brooklyn, the California senator continued. Im not afraid of bullies. Im for Hillary Clinton and shes for all of us. Keep on booing and boo yourselves out of this election. Sounds verycivil. 
2	Hillarys Demands For Recount Backfires, Might Face Jail Because Of It Hillary Clinton has involved herself in Jill Steins push for recounts of votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Of course, this whole thing is a terrible ideaespecially given Clintons current standing with the law. According to a newly published book, Obama told Clinton to concede when it became clear that she was losing in the three battleground states and no longer had any hope of winning the White House. Fortunately, Clinton took the advice and made the call. Trump was clearly moved by what Clinton said to him on that phone call. It was a tough call for her. She couldnt have been nicer, Trump later said in his interview with 60 Minutes. Shes very strong and very smart. In turning her back on Trump this week, Clinton ignored one important factas president, Donald Trump could prosecute her for her many crimes. Trump has already responded to Clintons decision to back Stein with outragearguing that she has already conceded. 
2	Muslims Everywhere Are FURIOUS After Aldi Did THIS It is against Muslim religion to eat pork pork, so when the German supermarket chain Aldi accidentally sold some snacks that had pork in them, they went crazy. This is absolutely outrageous, and I am deeply offended by this! Muslim shopper Manahil Khan exclaimed to reporters. He added, I am pretty sure many others of the Muslim community are also very offended by this. The blame should be on Punjab Pakora, the company that made the snacks in the first place. It packaged the snacks as Halal and safe for Muslim consumption, even though in the ingredients it reveals that the snacks contained pork blood and pork skins. The mistake happened when we did the print run, and unfortunately, our manager failed to spot this error and got approval for printing, a Punjabi The good news is that even though it is not really at fault, Aldi has graciously decided to go ahead and offer refunds anyway to those Muslims who bought the 1.49 (about $2.31) snacks. But this wasnt enough for Muslim shoppers like Manahil Khan, who complained to reporters that Muslims do not deserve to be misled by any sort of false claim of halal food or lies about what we consume. (H/T Breitbart) It seems like every other day there is a story about some Muslim getting angry at some establishment for not knowing the crazy laws of Islam. In general they tend to blow things way out of proportion. Do you think they should have made such a big deal out of it? What are your thoughts?

1	Tiger Woods added yet another accomplishment to his already outstanding rsum Sunday when the 13-time major winner successfully putted his baby daughter, five-month-old Sam Alexis Woods, into a fresh Huggies diaper. Dressed in his signature red shirt, black pants, and black Nike golf shoes, Woodswho has not played competitive golf in three months in order to stay at home and spend time with his newborn daughterfollowed the clutch 12-foot putt with a celebratory fist pump before hugging caddie Steve Williams, who was handling the baby's skin ointment. 'The living room carpet was rolling especially fast today,' Woods later told reporters, adding that his maid had vacuumed the night before, 'so at first I was naturally hesitant about hitting the baby too hard. But Stevie told me to be firm with the putt, since the room goes slightly uphill near the recliner, and we both knew the baby would move slower there. Especially around where we placed the diaper, because of the changing pad.' 'Also, Sam-Alexis gained a quarter of a pound last week,' said Woods, who took his time lining up the putt of his infant daughter, first studying its slight left-to-right break from behind the baby and then taking a sight line from behind the diaper. 'As soon as the baby's bottom left my putter, I knew she was in.' Once more displaying his uncanny ability to stay focused even in the most high-pressure situations, Woods did not let his infant's multiple shrieks distract him, calmly stepping away from his squalling baby daughter three times before executing the putt. 'You can't let those kinds of things change your approach,' Woods said. 'When it comes to being a father, if something distracts you from putting your babyeven the screams of the curled-up baby itselfyou have to have the patience to step away, take a deep breath, grip the club, and go through your pre-changing routine until the moment is right. I wasn't going to putt Sam until she was completely silent.' Added Woods: 'The only thought going through my head was 'Do not leave this baby short.'' According to Woods' caddy, the nine-time PGA Tour Player Of The Year has been diligently working on his typically flawless baby-changing mechanics since a disappointing change several Mondays ago, during which the normally unflappable Woods took three putts to get his daughter fastened into her LeakLock design diapers. 'Before today, Tiger was trying to guide the baby into the diaper instead of letting the baby get in the way of the putter head,' Williams said. 'Making this [putt] should be a huge confidence boost for Tiger, especially going into tonight's major post-feeding change. That one can be a huge mess if you don't get it just so.' Williams said that Woods' recent success on the living-room carpet can be attributed to his demanding practice regimen, which consists of waking up Sam-Alexis at 5 a.m. every morning and putting his baby girl 15 consecutive times from distances of three, five, eight, and 12 feet into various practice diapers located throughout the house. The practice diapers, Williams said, are placed on the kitchen's fast linoleum floors, the dining room's slow, gnarly pile carpet, and at the base of the family-room stairs. If Woods misses just one putt in the sequence, he starts from the beginning of the routine, thereby pushing some practice sessions to nearly five hours in length. Woods said that he took the practice time as an opportunity to get back to basics and reacquaint himself with key bits of child-rearing passed down from this late father, Earl. 'My dad always told me, 'Putt your baby to the picture,'' Woods said. 'When I stepped up to Sam, I had a clear mental image of the middle portion of her cute little butt disappearing into her diaper with just enough force to pull the front of the diaper up to the front of her belly and pull the tabs around to the fastening surface.' 'It's funny how putting your baby can go in streaks,' a reflective Woods continued. 'Sometimes the diaper looks like it's the size of a straw hole, and other times it can seem as big as an ocean.' According to Woods, with he and his wife Elin planning on going back to work soon, Woods will also assume other child-rearing responsibilities, including driving his daughter to day care by using the Nike SQ Sumo2 5900 driver to rocket her the 370 yards necessary to fly her over the trees, pond, and beach that stand between his front door and Sam's day-care center. 
3	Busted! Mythbusters Not Allowed to Talk About RFID ChipsJoe Martino We were going to do RFID and on several levels, you know, how hackable, how reliable, how trackable, etc. But this idea was met with resistance as the shows producers began looking into the technology and speaking with companies involved in RFID use and production. Adam stated at The Last Hope Conference that Texas Instruments and the chief legal advisor of almost all major credit card companies was completely opposed to allowing Mythbusters and Discovery do the show. As you will see in the video below, Adam feels rather taken aback by the strength of the alleged decision from TI and others involved. Where the story gets even more interesting is when Adam decided to retract the statements he initially gave at The Last Hope Conference. Theres been a lot of talk about this RFID thing, and I have to admit that I got some of my facts wrong, as I wasnt on that story, and as I said on the video, I wasnt actually in on the call. He continues: Texas Instruments account of their call with Grant and our producer is factually correct. If I went into the detail of exactly why this story didnt get filmed, its so bizarre and convoluted that no one would believe me, but suffice to saythe decision not to continue on with the RFID story was made by our production company, Beyond Productions, and had nothing to do with Discovery, or their ad sales department. This is not an attempt to create conspiracy where unneeded, but this truly is an interesting story as it is very easy to see why he might be forced to retract his statements. He put Discovery at risk due to his statements and arguably slandered Texas Instruments, as well as the legal council for many major credit card companies. At the end of the day, we have to be our own judge on the matter as it is doubtful any of these companies will come clean, if in fact that is possible. In my opinion, I would not be surprised in the least bit if Adam shared the factual story to begin with and then was forced to change his story. This certainly would not be the first time people have been silenced by major corporations after statements of truth were made. But, you be the judge. linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	Cell Tower Radiation Prevents Garden Cress Seed Germination in Danish ExperimentBy Catherine J Frompovich They emit radiation, which no one wants to take seriously as having adverse health effects on humans. Medically, the adverse effects are called Non-thermal health effects. In 2013, a ninth grade experiment for a national science fair found remarkable proof of radiation damage from Wi-Fi routers that was replicated by a peer review study. Wow! So, what did both experiments show? Garden cress seeds placed near Wi-Fi routers failed to germinate. Here are photographs that corroborate those findings. Five Danish schoolgirls proved what apparently no one in the microwave industry wanted to. Wi-Fi radiation causes adverse effects to any life forms, which, in their experiment, were garden cress seeds. The young ladies placed the seeds near two Wi-Fi routers, waited and took photographs for twelve days. The resultsfailure of seeds to germinatecan be seen in the above photographs. So, what does that experiment portend for humans? That similar effect(s) can occur from cell towers too. Two researchers, Drs. Cammaerts and Johansson conducted a partial replication of the original Danish student study using cell towers instead of WiFi routers as the source of wireless radiation. They found that cress seeds located 200 meters from two cell towers failed to germinate. [1] What did they conclude from their findings? Wireless technology may effectively and seriously impact nature and should urgently be used much more cautiously. That wireless technology may effectively and seriously impact nature and should be used much more cautiously challenges why Wi-Fi routers are standard technology in USA schools; why Smart Meters for electric, natural gas, and water utility companies are mandated and retrofitted on to every dwelling; and why cell towers [2], especially stingrays [3], litter the landscape like mushrooms after a spring rain, while radiation-emitting computers and smart phones are like appendages dangling from almost everyones personage. All those technologies emit electromagnetic frequencies in various ranges with adverse consequences for the environment, plant life (as weve seen with the cress seeds), animals and humans. Here are some studies that corroborate my last statement: Man-made electromagnetic waves have actually largely been shown to have adverse effects on living organisms. They affect, for instance, Any microwave technology device that transmits and receives information, signals, data, or voice messages emits EMFs / RFs known as non-ionizing radiation that produce Non-thermal adverse health effects recognized by the American Academy of Environmental Medicine here and which vested microwave technology interests pooh-pooh. They claim the only adverse health problem can be heated skin, and none of their devices cause that. However, that science is based on early radar tests done in the 1950s and 1960s; its now 2016. This chart shows the ranges of non-ionizing and ionizing radiation and their frequencies. Now, I have a bridge on the moon Id like to sell. Who wants to buy it? No one, Im certain, believes thats a factual statement. Then, why oh why, do consumers believe microwave technologies are not harmful? I remember when cigarettes were smoked by doctors, and Camels was their favorite brand. When will consumers get out from under the notion that if its on the market, theres nothing wrong with it, its been tested accurately for safety, and we must have every updated version of the product?

3	Huge Area of Sea Floor Movement Off Iberian CoastChris Carrington Continental Europe has started to move towards the United States as a new subduction zone forms off the Portuguese coast. This is the start of a cycle that will see the Atlantic Ocean reduce in size and finally close as what scientists refer to as a passive margin becomes active. A subduction zone is an area where one of the plates that cover the Earths surface is driven underneath the plate it is colliding into. Such faults are known to produce mega-thrust earthquakes when they get stuck and then slip allowing massive pressure to be released. The Indonesian quake of 2004 was caused by the subduction of the Indian Plate under the Burmese Plate and the Japanese quake of 2011 was caused by the subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate. The Cascadia fault line off the coast of California is also a subduction zone. In this case its a long sloping fault where the Juan de Fuca Plate is being forced under the North American Plate. The consequences of this new movement is likely to be an increase in seismic activity. The large earthquake of 1755 that devastated Lisbon is an indiction that convergent techtonic movement has been taking place for some time but for the first time scientists are able to prove it.

Unh, Ill deal with it tomorrow, Reeves reportedly told himself, noting that the unknown item had neither shattered nor made the sound of splashing liquid that would normally prompt him to inspect his bedside area. It was probably just my wallet or a book. And even if it was my phone, its no big deal. Itll still be there when I wake up.

Obama could be taking swift action against the Radical Muslim forces that are undermining every Americans security, but instead hes twisting the narrative to turn it into a platform for Democrats to try to shove through some pet legislation in Congress. Talk about abdication of leadership! Were very lucky hell be gone in a few short months, hopefully replaced by Donald Trump, who will take REAL action on these very REAL issues. Theres no more time to fool around with sit-ins! Democrats need to put the bong down, recover from their togetherness pipe dream and accept the fact that a large group of foreigners has started to take over America and is in the process of destroying our Western civilization.

This guy came to the attention of the authorities on numerous occasions up until right before the attack, and they were not able to thwart him. The truth is they cant protect you. They are not allowing you to protect yourself.

3	Monsanto can sue farmers when GMO contamination goes over one percent of their cropRady Ananda The June 2013 decision dismissing OSGATA v. Monsanto discussed in the letter by Jim Gerritsen, president of the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association, protects farmers from being sued for inadvertent contamination of approximately one percent of their crops. Gerritsen sent the letter in lieu of his appearance. That letter, reproduced at Good Food Web, has now gone viral, leading to some misunderstanding about the significance of the courts decision and the protections afforded US farmers. The court did bind Monsanto to a statement made on its website that it would not sue growers, seed sellers or organizations for inadvertently using or selling trace amounts of genetically modified seeds. The court defined trace this way: The court specifically stated: On the farmers side, the court did not firmly decide the issue of inadvertent contamination, leaving its assumption ripe for further litigation. Also on the farmers side, the June ruling clarified that a prior Supreme Court decision [Bowman v. Monsanto, 133 S.Ct. 1761 (2013)] leaves open the possibility that merely permitting transgenic seeds inadvertently introduced into ones land to grow would not be an infringing use. However, the bulk of the decision was a win for Monsanto, which admitted to suing or threatening suit against nearly 850 farmers between 1997 and 2010 for patent infringement, settling 700 of those cases before they reached trial. Gerritsen understood and emphasized in his letter the key component of the ruling preventing Monsanto from suing farmers for trace contamination events when he asserted: So the ruling has national impact, and thats important. But having only one percent of your crops genetically contaminated is rare, especially for small farms, or those surrounded by GM fields. Already, over 90% of all soy andsugarbeets grown in the US are genetically modified, and about 66% of corn. Though federal authorities today insist that there is no commercial GM rice growing in the US, in April, Turkish authorities arrested several people from companies that imported or distributed US rice which had tested positive for GM contamination. If not from commercial fields, then that contamination comes from ongoing trials or the 2006 contamination event which has not been effectively eliminated, as asserted by the US Embassy. Can you imagine Monsanto executives being arrested for contaminating natural crops in the US? That would be a real victory for farmers and consumers. If corporations were held accountable for dangerous products that destroy the livelihood of others (given the collapse of export markets), the entire biotech industry would take a much more precautionary approach to GM deployment. Such is not the legal lay of the land, however. When the US Supreme Court deregulated genetically engineered alfalfa in 2009, with its tiny seeds that can be windblown for miles, the organic beef and dairy industry took a hit because alfalfa is one of four staple crops used for free-range cattle. That was the first GMO case heard by the lands highest court, and the victory went to biotech, thanks to former Monsanto attorney, Justice Clarence Thomas, who refused to recuse himself from the case. By 2010, reports litigant Geertson Seed, US alfalfa had already been contaminated since GE alfalfas introduction in 2005. In 2011, the USDA approved widespread planting of the ubiquitous seed. A mere one-percent contamination event would be rare, with much higher contamination penetration the most likely scenario. But, yes, it is good that all growers and distributors are now protected from suit by Monsanto when only 1% of their farmland or seed supply is genetically contaminated. Thats 1% better than nothing. We need to remember that since the commercial deployment of GE crops in 1996, the federal government has consistently made it policy to promote the growth and spread of genetically engineered crops, here and abroad, as revealed in the diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks. In Section 733 of the 2013 Farm Bill, Congress stripped federal courts of the right to stop the sale and planting of genetically engineered crops during any legal appeals process. The Orwellian name, Farmer Assurance Provision has become widely known as the Monsanto Protection Act, though it applies to all biotech crops no matter who engineered them. That provision is set to expire next month, unless Congress approves its extension. Though 95% of the US wants GMO foods labeled, Californias reported election results claimed that less than half voted for Proposition 37. We can thank electronic vote counting systems for that, given that those machines can behacked without detection. Those vote results are unambiguously fraudulent. (Hand counted paper ballots, in full view of voters, would completely resolve the issue.) Biotech companies, and their deadly products, are clearly at an advantage in the US. OSGATAs president, Jim Gerritsen, made it clear that the victory was in the ruling applying that 1% inadvertent contamination to all farmers, and not just the plaintiffs in that case. We have much more work to do to protect our farmers from Monsantos aggression against genetic contamination that Monsanto caused, and much more work to protect all of us from lab-created foods.

2	Obamas CIA Director Threatens Trump If He Wins Presidency With Disturbing... It was recently made clear that if presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wins the election, CIA Director John Brennan will not continue his role in the new administration. Brennan doubled down on his clear opposition to Trumps suggestions that we bring back interrogation techniques like water-boarding to use against captured terrorists in the fight against radical jihad. Im not going to be the director of CIA that gives that order, Brennan reportedly said to the Brookings Institute on Wednesday. I think theyre going to need to find another director. Brennan did, however, defend the effectiveness of water-boarding when it was used during the Bush administration. Clearly, he has changed his tune quite a bit. The agencies detention and interrogation program, I believe was instrumental in keeping this country safe in the aftermath of 9/11, he said back then. There were individuals that were subjected to these (enhanced interrogation techniques) that subsequent to that provided information that was in fact credible and worthwhile for pursuit. In 2009, Obama classified water-boarding as torture in an executive order that was included in the following years National Defense Authorization Act, banning the U.S. government from using torture on prisoners or detained enemies. The next president could just as easily declassify water-boarding as torture by revoking Obamas executive order. As long as Im the director of CIA, we are not going to go down that road again, Brennan concluded. The position of CIA director is appointed by the president, and has no specified term. Were guessing Trump will elect to work with someone his visions are more aligned with.

You may not want to hear that, but it's an undeniable factoid, and I am going to report it.' Russell came under fire last year for a controversial report alleging that the average pair of shoes is worn for 14 months. 
1	Suggesting shed better sit down and buckle up tight, officials from Michigans Child Protective Services bureau urged caseworker Hayley Reynolds on Thursday to brace herself, because she was in for grade-A doozy. The case, described by fellow CPS staff members as a real humdinger, is reportedly the kind of investigation that only comes along once every 15 or 20 years, and will require Reynolds to muster up everything shes got if she wants to come out of this mess still in one piece. Hoo boy, said CPS deputy director Matthew Jackson, who nervously drummed his fingers on the thick manila folder and warned Reynolds to keep her afternoons free for the foreseeable future because she was about to get handed a biggie. Dont even worry about any of the other stuff youve got on your plate; Lindas going to handle it. Youll need all the strength you have for the storm thats coming. Let me put it this way, Jackson continued. Remember the thing last year with that kid from Highland Park? Multiply that by a hundred. According to sources familiar with the case, whats coming down the pipe is a no-holds-barred whopper that will make anything Reynolds has worked on before feel tame by comparison. Additionally, CPS personnel confirmed, Reynolds is going to want to hug her family a lot. I dont quite know how to put it, but given the exact circumstances of the case, dont plan on making it home at the normal time for quite a while, said Jackson, shaking his head and looking down at his feet. Sheesh, just thinking about it makes me a little uneasy, and Im not even the one who has to deal with that kettle of fish. As word of the case spread throughout CPS downtown Detroit offices, employees were reportedly sympathetic but at the same time grateful they hadnt been assigned a case that they characterized as oof and whoa, just whoa. CPS officials said that while Reynolds has a good head on her shoulders, cases like these have been known to break even the most battle-hardened social worker. They acknowledged that, in the past, among those who have decided to continue with the profession after being assigned a first-rate hornets nest like this, few were ever the same. Youve been here long enough to have paid your dues, but after taking on this behemoth youll really be part of the CPS family, said Jackson, handing an extra box of tissues to Reynolds. So maybe Ill just leave this case file here. You can go into the kitchen, gather your thoughts for a little bit, and when youre ready, have a look. Sweet fucking Jesus, continued Jackson, who reportedly raised his eyebrows while exhaling deeply. This thingll knock your socks off. Jackson added that Reynolds has the skills, the training, and the experience to handle whats in store, and the only thing thats left to say is yikes. 
3	Presidential Executive Orders Challenged by the CourtsBy Catherine J. Frompovich In a two-to-one vote in Texas v. United States, President Obama came out on the short end of the stick, but promises an appeal, which I find equally interesting insofar as its been adjudicated that his actions on immigration have been ruled unconstitutional. [1] So, whats to appeal; isnt the U.S. Constitution the framework of our democratic republic? Hes not king or dictatoryetor is he? This issue validates the rationale for Presidential Executive Orders to be nullified and voided because, in essence, they make One-Man Dictatorial Rule, which is not what the USA form of government is; what we vote for; or should be according to our founding documents, including the USA NOT becoming a One World Order domain. Interestingly, Judge Jerry Smith, in his majority opinion, wrote, At its core, this case is about the Secretarys decision to change the immigration classification of millions of illegal aliens on a class-wide basis. Personally, I have a different take than His Honors opinion after seeing the latest news report about what President Obama is doing for Syrian refugees, including giving them Social Security benefits. How about a Wal-Mart gift card thrown in too? And almost One Grand in cool U.S. cash! Why doesnt he give them automatic U.S. citizenship while hes at it? WTH is going on anyway? Gary Franchi (WHDT World Television) reads off the jackpot give-away program from Santa Claus, Barack Hussein Obama in this video. Where is such munificence for our wounded and unemployed war veterans who have to scrounge around and plead to get any type of healthcare, benefits or employment? I dont know about you, but this latest round of fiscal irresponsibility and outlandish spending needs to be check-mated by Congress. However, are such tactics an additional straw to break the camels back? Arent we in debt [2] enough? What do you think about our presidents magnanimous spending habits? [3,4] Shouldnt there be a cap on how much any government employeeno matter who it iscan spend?

The people did not fight for and protect these rights so this is exactly what happens. If a people will not do what is necessary to defend their nation then others will come in and take over. Noone should be surprised it has all come to this. The stark reality is that the Constitution hasnt been operational for many decades. (If the Constitution can be selectively followed OR set aside by our leaders at will, it effectively doesnt exist!) All of our recent presidents have excessively used (and ABUSED) executive orders. Obama has perfected it into a fine art form. Insofar as runaway immigration numbers are concerned, its part of the globalist agenda to flood the U.S. with illegal immigrants and refugees. Same with Europe. The agenda is to obliterate the sovereignty of individual nations, en route to consolidation into the elitist-planned global government. Refugees also figure strongly in this agenda. The seemingly endless wars and foreign interventions by the U.S. and other western nations serve to create refugees, made desperate by the war-torn conditions of their nations! The new gangs of New York scenario: we decimate the armed forces via combat, forced vaccines, exposure to bio-warfare (Ebola) and secret black project implants; then we will need a new crop of paid (?) volunteers to fill the vacuum. Veterans Day of and by the NWO in the future will be celebrated by those able to garner citizenship by being part of the armed forces; anyone not part of the military will be considered a dissident or traitor. Once found guilty of treason you will have your head removed by one of the governments 40,000 new electronic guillotines. Can you point me in the direction of where I might be able to find some information about these supposed guillotines? I have only encountered rumors and hearsay but you are the first Ive seen mentioning actual numbers. Obama Promises Fall Flat VA Continues to Fail Veterans Frank Marshall Davis Jr. is only following the script that hes been handed. But there are many red diaper babies amongst us following similar scripts to overwhelm our society by way of the Cloward-Piven formula. Dont take it out on the refugees. Theyre running from YOUR bombs! E/Os should be abolished as the presidential office should be abolished. How can Obama take money from social security when its broke? One of my younger friends was already notified there are insufficient funds in SS for the date when she will be due to collect! 
3	Announcing Vaccine Bombshell: Leaked Confidential Document Exposes 36 Infants Dead After This VaccineChristina England, Contributor Its not that 14 deaths were recorded by GSK between October 2009 and end in October 2011 as we had originally calculated but 36 (14 from 2010 to 2011 and 22 from 2009 to 2010). In addition to these 36 deaths at least 37 other deaths (sudden death mainly), bringing the total to at least 73 deaths since the launch of the vaccine in 2000, and again, this concerns only the death by sudden death, no further recovery of under-reporting. Using the figure of 36 deaths over a two-year period, this averages 1.5 deaths per month, which by anyones standard is extremely high. Note that only 1 to 10% of adverse reactions to vaccines are actually reported. Therefore, in reality, the problem could potentially be far more serious and the actual number of fatalities much higher. THE DEADLY CHEMICAL COCKTAIL The charts show that many of the babies who died passed away within the first few days of receiving the vaccine. [3] A total of three infants were reported to have died within hours of receiving the vaccine. TOXIC DOSES OF TOXIC CHEMICALS In an interesting article by Dr. Harold Buttram titled The Ultimate Gamble: Do Childhood Vaccines Result in Genetic Hybridization from Alien Human and Animal DNA Contents? he highlighted the problems associated with just two of these ingredients, including aluminum, which is a neurotoxin associated with Alzheimers disease and seizures, and formaldehyde, which is a known cancer-causing agent commonly used to embalm corpses. [5] Dr. Harold Buttram also stated: It is universally recognized among toxicologists that combinations of toxic chemicals may bring exponential increases in toxicity; that is, two toxic chemicals in combination will bring a ten-fold or even a hundred-fold increase in toxicity. A classical example of this principle was the Schubert study [21] in which it was found that the amount of lead and the amount of mercury, when each was given separately, would be lethal for one percent of rats tested, would become lethal for one hundred percent of rats tested when combined. In vaccines this principle would apply at least to mercury and aluminum, both of which are potent neurotoxins. CONCLUSION Considering this information, is it any wonder that babies are dying after receiving vaccinations containing these ingredients? GlaxoSmithKline may try and hide the facts from us but they cannot hide them forever. Infanrix Hexa should be removed from the market immediately.

1	Local mother Ruth Conway, 38, reportedly expressed frustration Monday after realizing that her son's next Little League baseball game would be played an hour and a half away in Rockland County. 'The game starts at seven, so we'll have to leave pretty much the second I get home from work tomorrow,' said Conway, adding that she couldn't imagine getting back anytime before 11 p.m., 'especially if the game goes as long as it usually does.' 'Why can't they just play down the road at Grover [Middle School]? There's a perfectly good baseball field, and it's only five minutes from the house.' At press time, Conway, kitchen sources confirmed, had just grabbed the team phone list from the refrigerator and was calling other parents to ask if they could give her son a ride.

May the best fighter win, he said. I dont think you can be totally one-sided forever. Then you close your mind to all sorts of possibilities. Its just, Who comes along better at that time for what the planet is going through? Right now, its pretty confusing on every side. When questioned further on the Republican candidates, one rang clear. I love Donald Trump, he said. Hes a great Dickensian character. You know what I mean? There are certain people like Arnold, Babe Ruth, that are bigger than life. But I dont know how that translateshe let out a laughto running the world. Stallone seems like he doesnt care too much about politics. But if he had to support one candidate, it seems like Trump is the man. We need a man who isnt afraid to run our country.

1	In the oft-overlooked field of stoner architecture, new talent often goes unnoticed. But that hasn't been the case for Minneapolis stoner architect Richard 'Dick' Donovan, whose groundbreaking design for an all-foyer mansion is earning slack-jawed admiration from some of the most respected members of the Twin Cities stoner-architecture community. The blueprint for Richard Donovan's (inset) revolutionary all-foyer mansion. Donovan had won moderate recognition for past work, including his subterranean ranch house and his roofless A-frame. The 27-year-old's latest design, however, has won him unprecedented acclaim, hailed in the August issue of Stoner Architectural Digest as 'the most absolutely fucked-up shit to come along in years.' 'I was sitting around, bullshitting with [longtime roommate and noted carburetor-parts lamp designer Mike] Mosedale one afternoon, trying to decide if we should hang the 1968 All-American Calendarthe hilarious one with Nixon on itby the ping-pong table or in the foyer or what,' Donovan said. 'Then we got to talking about foyers, and how they're kind of weird, 'cause you don't ever actually do anything in them except, you know, use them to walk into the next room. Then, all of a sudden, I was like, 'Whoa. Imagine if, after the foyer, there was just a whole endless series of foyers.' Christ, what a mindfuck that'd be.' According to Rich 'Gordo' Gordon, managing editor of Stoner Architectural Digest, Donovan may be the breakout superstar for whom the profession has long waited. 'Sadly, the field of stoner architecture is usually dismissed by conventional architects, who insist on clinging to such tired, ossified notions as functionality, coherence, and basic structural integrity,' Gordon said. 'Someone like Donovan can go a long way toward dispelling the myth that stoner architecture is all just arrested adolescents scribbling whacked-out bullshit in dimly lit basements while turgid '70s prog-rock plays in the background. I mean, sure, it definitely is that, but it's also so much more.' Gordon then lost his train of thought. 'The work of stoner architects is tragically underfunded, and few, if any, of their designs have ever actually been built outside of the annual Burning Man festival,' said Doug 'Bong Hit' Cirillo, an Austin, TX, stoner architect. 'It's too bad, because a lot of these dudes could use a few extra bucks. Like me, for instance. If I didn't have [girlfriend and Austin-area cosmetologist] Laura [Brodhagen] to crash with, I'd pretty much be screwed. Perhaps Donovan can help the movement gain the respect and widespread acceptance it deserves.' 'Then again,' continued Cirillo after an extremely long pause, 'if he can't, you know, hey.' Like many in his field, Donovan got his start as a draftsman at an early age, carving Van Halen logos into desks in eighth grade. He quickly moved on to more advanced projects, drafting such designs as a 'dream pad' with self-replenishing mini beer fridges in every room, a pool shaped like a Frank Frazetta warrior babe, and an 'All-Time Ultimate Snack Tray' built out of the chassis of a 1978 Pontiac TransAm. At age 22, Donovan earned his first taste of notoriety when, inspired by a quarter ounce of Mexicali Gold and a night of listening to the indie noise-rock combo Royal Trux, he spent nine consecutive hours 'drawing up a plan for a city filled with 10,000 crooked stairs.' But despite such achievements, most agree that Donovan's latest design is his most significant yet. 'Donovan has a way of, like, expressing his creative-ass energies in this, you know, totally killer style,' said roommate and noted stoner-architecture connoisseur 'White Jimmy.' 'Take the time he told us he wanted to build a 'media immersion chamber.' He wanted to make this thing out of some lumber we found, so he could, like, lie down and be totally enclosed in this big couch-like thing, with a TV and PlayStation built right in at eye level overhead.' 'I was like, 'How did he think that shit up?'' White Jimmy said. 'Who knows, man. Who the fuck knows. Donovan's is truly a mysterious muse.' For his next project, Donovan said he hopes to design an 'On-Duty-Pizzaman Neutrality Zone,' a structure that would provide a 'safe haven' for pizza-delivery drivers who are on the clock but seriously stressed out and in need of a couple minutes to chill without fear of reprisal. Thus far, however, he has been unable to secure the necessary funding. It remains to be seen whether Donovan can achieve the level of success that has thus far eluded practitioners of his craft. Regardless of fame or fortune, the stoner architect remains deeply committed to his work. 'I'm just into, you know, comin' up with a whole bunch of ridiculous shit and putting it down on paper,' Donovan said. 'And as far as the money situation goes, I'm not too worried. I mean, rent's cheap in this neighborhood, and I only paid $500 for my car, so right now I only have to work, like, 5 to 11, two nights a week. So it's not like I don't have plenty of down time.' 
3	Mass Surveillance Violates EU LawStephen Lendman Sergio Carrera is a Spanish jurist. Francesco Ragazzi is Netherlands-based Leiden University Professor of International Relations. They co-wrote the study. They did so with Didier Bigo, Nicholas Hernanz, Julien Jeandesboz, Joanna Parkin, and Amandine Scherrer. The European Parliaments Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs commissioned it. The Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) republished it with EP permission. Its called SEPS Paper in Liberty and Security in Europe No. 61/November 2013. More on it below. The lead study authors hold America and EU nations responsible for violating European law. They want it stopped. They want European parliamentarians acting responsibly to do so. They said NSA, Britains GCHQ, as well as comparable intelligence operations in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden breached EU charter provisions. EU agencies like Europol and IntCen (EU Intelligence Analysis Centre) illegally use stolen data. According to Carrera: Its no longer credible to say the EU has no legal competence and should do nothing on this. Sorry, we dont think this is acceptable. We are witnessing a systematic breach of peoples fundamental rights. Ragazzi added: The bigger the crisis, the more the system of checks and balances should be reinforced. This is what distinguishes democracies from police states. Carrera and Ragazzi urged European parliamentarians (MEPs) to use all their powers at their disposal to break what they call a wall of silence. The EU parliament should block a European/US trade agreement unless NSA and GCHQ fully disclose their surveillance operations, they say. They want EU countries to draft a professional code for the transnational management of data. They want legislation to stop online companies from improperly cooperating with intelligence agencies. They want whistleblowers like Snowden protected. They want a permanent oversight body on intelligence matters created. They said (s)urveillance of population groups is not a new phenomenon in liberal regimes. NSA/GCHQ revelations remind them of previous intelligence service transgressions. Information Snowden revealed far exceeds earlier lawlessness. He disclosed a reconfiguration of surveillance that enables access to a much larger scale of data than telecommunications surveillance of the past, they said. The purpose and scale of todays surveillance are precisely at the core of what differentiates democratic regimes from police states. Intelligence services havent provided acceptable explanations of their activities. Oversight is largely absent. Under European law, individuals own their own data. Its a core principle. The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights protects it. So does the EU Treaty. At issue is whether unauthorized access to private information is theft. If so, are responsible parties criminally liable? Channels permitting lawful searches exist. The EU/US Mutual Legal Assistance Agreement (MLAA) covers criminal investigations and counterterrorism activities. Snowdens revelations show NSA and its EU counterparts violated European law. The EU Charter of Fundamental rights protects everyone, not just EU citizens. The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) guarantees universal privacy. US constitutional law prohibits illegal searches and seizures. It does so for US citizens. Bringing America into compliance with European law requires legislation doing so. An international digital bill of rights is needed. Getting it wont be easy. Nor will changing US law. Congress supports NSA lawlessness. Pending congressional legislation legitimizes it. The study authors concluded the following: Practices of large-scale surveillance have to be carefully examined from a fundamental rights perspective. The implications are far-reaching. They go well beyond the traditional dilemma between the rights of citizens to data protection and the right of the state to depart from the rule of law in the name of national security. They raise fundamental questions about what kind of societies we want. What kind are acceptable? What lines must never be crossed? What freedoms are too precious to lose? Fighting terrorism and organized crime legally is acceptable. Breaching legal standards cant be tolerated. NSA and their European counterparts were caught red-handed doing it. Whats done about it matters most. Meta-data-mining and freedom cant coexist. Carrera and Ragazzi et al said: (I)n a democracy, large-scale surveillance restructures the very notion of security and protection of human beings as well as the conception of freedom and fundamental rights. Mass surveillance disrupts social cohesion. Inaction by European authorities to stop lawless practices assures theyll continue. (S)ilence could be interpreted as complicity. The controversies raised by the recent revelations will not vanish easily. Action, or lack thereof, by the European Parliament will be watched carefully. The Commission has already asked the Director of the NSA and the UK representative in Brussels to account for what has happened. Letters have been sent but no answers have been received. The credibility of the Commission itself is at stake, and more generally that of the EU institutions. A Final Comment Heads of Britains three intelligence services (GCHQ, MI5 and MI6) gave unprecedented public testimony. They did so on Thursday before Parliaments Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC). They defended the indefensible. They lied claiming documents Snowden released damaged their ability to keep Britain safe. MI6 head John Sawers said: The leaks from Snowden have been very damaging, and theyve put our operations at risk. Its clear that our adversaries are rubbing their hands with glee. Al Qaeda is lapping it up. According to GCHQ head Iain Lobban: Terrorist groups abroad and closer to home (assessed) the communications packages they use now and the communication packages they wish to move to avoid what they now perceive to be vulnerable communications methods. The cumulative effect of global media coverage will make our job far, far harder for years to come. MI5 head Andrew Parker piously claimed: The work we do is addressing directly threats to this country, to our way of life and to the people who live here. The suggestion that somehow what we do is somehow compromising freedom and democracy. Of course, we believe the opposite to be the case. Session format was Q A. It was more lovefest than grilling. Former Tory Defense and Foreign Secretary Malcomb Rifkind led it. He chairs Britains Intelligence and Security Committee. MI6 once reported to him. Testimony featured largely unchallenged misinformation. Specifics werent discussed. LondonsGuardian said the three intelligence chiefs came to Westminsters Boothroyd Room and pretended to be grilled. At the same time, they arranged for a two minute TV pause button in case anyone inadvertently revealed something secret. The Guardian called them a trio of Draculas in the winter sun. (They) made their daylight debut. The atmosphere was tea and crumpets. It featured opacity. Viewers must have wondered why they wasted their time tuning in. Nothing they most need to know was discussed. Platitudes and dissembling substituted. Claims about disrupting dozens of terrorist plots were lies. NSA makes the same false bold assertions. In response to whether GCHQ violates UK law, Lobban lied saying: We do not spend our time listening to the telephone calls or reading the emails of the majority. That would not be proportionate. That would not be legal, and we would not do it. False! GCHQs Tempora system intercepts and stores all optic fiber cable data passing through Britain. Snowden called it full take. Its vast. It snarfs everything in a rolling buffer to allow retroactive investigation without missing a single bit. UK privacy doesnt exist. GCHQ has access to virtually all electronic communications. It takes full advantage. Prior testimony by intelligence service chiefs was always private. Brits never knew who headed MI5 (internal security) until 1992. In 1994, John Majors government admitted the existence of MI6 (foreign intelligence) for the first time. Mass surveillance is official UK policy. Parliament supports it. Business as usual continues.

2	Guess Which Terrorist Countries Just Donated Millions Of Dollars To Hillarys Campaign, This Is SICK Its no secret that crooked Hillary has taken hundreds of millions of dollars in donations bribe money from shadowy donors, including our countrys enemies around the world. But did you know that shes accepted tens of millions of dollars from countries that have sponsored terrorism? Can you believe shes gotten away with such treason? If she somehow gets elected, whose interest is she going to serveAmericas or the terrorists? You know that investors expect a return on what they give. These gifts certainly cone with strings attached. The terrorist country that donated the most is Saudi Arabia. They gave between 10 and 25 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation. Dont forget that this is the country where Osama bin Laden was born in and grew up. The rest of the bin Laden family still lives there. This is the country where most of the September 11th terrorists were from. Its also the country that gave Hillary as much as $25 million. Go figure. Kuwait, which is next to Iraq, also gave the Clinton Foundation 5-10 million dollars. Can we trust them? Absolutely not, but they are certainly going to have Hillarys ear if she ever unfortunately occupies the White House. Next is Qatar, a country so evil that it punishes anyone caught in a homosexual act by killing them. This barbaric country gave Clinton between 1 and 5 million dollars. After them come the United Arab Emirates, where all religions except for Islam are banned. These America haters gave her at least 1 million dollars. Brunei, Oman and Algeria also gave Hillary Clinton substantial contributions. Did Donald Trump accept any money from these disgusting countries? NO! 
1	As the organization marks its 15th anniversary Friday, representatives for the Sonny Bono Foundation told reporters that they continue to devote their every effort to stopping at-risk teen skiers from crashing into trees. As we speak, thousands of children are hurtling down the nations ski slopes, and every single one of them is in grave danger of hitting a tree at any second, said SBF President Mark Rodgers, whose organization since the untimely 1998 death of singer and politician Sonny Bono has worked to put an end to the countless number of young American skiers who, at this very moment, are hurtling at high speeds in the direction of numerous pine trees. The grim reality is that every 30 seconds a child gets off a chairlift, and if we dont act now, its only a matter of time before yet another one of them takes a turn too fast, loses control, and slams into a tree. These kids have nobody to look out for them up there, and its our responsibility to honor Mr. Bonos legacy by keeping them out of harms way. Though Rodgers claimed that his foundation has had considerable success protecting young skiers, he admitted that the groups work has been made considerably more difficult due to the competing mission of the Michael Kennedy Winter Athletics Institute, which teaches children how to ski downhill at dangerous speeds while playing football. 
3	Zombies Make Dangerous NeighborsDoug French Most people believe accounting is conservative, the rules cut and dried. Accountants make economists look frivolous. But accountants are people too, and FASB succumbed to pressure from Capitol Hill in the wake of the 2008 financial crash. How It All Started The SP 500 hit a devilish low of 666 on March 6, 2009. More major bank failures seemed a certainty. Somebody had to do somethingand in stepped the accounting board prodded by the House Committee on Financial Services. The board changed financial accounting standards 157, 124, and 115, allowing banks more discretion in reporting the value of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) held in their portfolios and losses on those securities. Floyd Norris reported at the time for the New York Times, The change seems likely to allow banks to report higher profits by assuming that the securities are worth more than anyone is now willing to pay for them. But critics objected that the change could further damage the credibility of financial institutions by enabling them to avoid recognizing losses from bad loans they have made. With that discretion, fund manager John Hussman writes, banks could use cash-flow models (mark-to-model) or other methods (mark-to-unicorn). And author James Kwak wrote on his blog The Baseline Scenario just after FASB amended their rules: The new rules were sought by the American Bankers Association, and not surprisingly will allow banks to increase their reported profits and strengthen their balance sheets by allowing them to increase the reported values of their toxic assets. Bad-Neighbor Banks Nobody has more friends on Capitol Hill than bankers, who are not wild about free-market capitalism when it works against them. Bankers bitterly complained that the current market prices were the result of distressed sales and that they should be allowed to ignore those prices and value the securities instead at their value in a normal market, Norris wrote for the New York Times on April 2, 2009. The change in the rules first of all allowed banks to remain in business. Second, with banks having wide discretion in valuing mortgage-backed securities, they had little incentive to care for the collateral of the loans contained in those MBSs. It may even be in a banks best interest to leave houses in what the Sun Sentinel newspaper called legal limbo. Last year the Florida paper devoted a three-part series to Bad-Neighbor Banks. When homeowners walk away, one would think it would be in the banks best interests to gain legal possession as soon as possible and either sell as is, or repair and sell quickly. Apparently thats not the case. All across Florida, banks have halted foreclosure proceedings because the remaining equity in the properties is deemed inadequate to cover the banks costs to reclaim title and maintain, refurbish and sell them, Megan OMatz and John Maines wrote for the Sun Sentinel. When pressed about weed- and rodent-infested abandoned properties, banks often pointed the finger at mortgage servicers. South Florida attorney Ben Solomon, who represents condos and community associations in foreclosure cases, stated, We see bank delays every day. They really continually have been getting worse. More and more time is going by. As banks sit on assets indefinitely without having to recognize a loss, homes get lost in vast bank bureaucracies. When the banks finally figure out what they have, lenders also have been walking away from foreclosure actions involving homes with low market values, after their cool-headed calculation that the homes cannot resell for enough to offset the costs of foreclosing, repairing, maintaining and marketing them, OMatz and Maines wrote. Now banks have rebuilt their balance sheets and are able to withstand losses from bad property loans. Enough banks are walking away from properties that the Treasury Department issued guidance in 2011, advising to do so cautiously. Banks that do foreclose with tenants living in a property are notorious for not maintaining their newly acquired properties. Some banks are failing to follow local and state housing codes, leaving tenants to live in squalorwithout even a number to call in the most dire situations, writes Aarti Shahani for NPR. Im not sure why anyone would expect banks to be good property managers. Banks dont want to take your home and own it, Paul Leonard, senior vice president of the Housing Policy Council, told NPR. Theyre stuck with plumbing and electrical maintenance that is well beyond their mission. They have to hire a property manager to take care of the property. Global banking behemoth Deutsche Bank foreclosed on 2,000 houses in the Los Angeles area between 2007 and 2011. The big bank was such a bad landlord, the city filed suit and the bank recently settled the case by paying $10 millionwhich the bank didnt even have to pay itself. According to Deutsche Bank officials, The settlement will be paid by the servicers responsible for the Los Angeles properties at issue and by the securitization trusts that hold the properties. If banks, not to mention Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA, had been allowed to fail, the housing market would have cleared and stories like these would be a thing of the past. However, one intervention begets another, and the market is held stagnate. Auctions: Bids Coming Up Short While there are housing booms popping up in various cities, Bloomberg just reported a failed auction by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). After successfully selling 50,000 non-performing, single-family FHA-insured loans since 2010, HUD deemed the bids for $450 million too low to accept at their October 30 sale. (As an interesting aside, the FHA was a product of Roosevelts administration during the Great Depression and hasnt required the help of taxpayers until this September when the agency asked for a $1.7 billion bailout to keep operating a piece of news that got drowned out by the looming government shutdown, the slowly developing Obamacare train wreck, and the Breaking Bad series finale.) HUD has another $5 billion auction scheduled and is currently qualifying bidders. The auctions run through the website DebtX, which has compiled a Bid-Ask Index to compare recent years buyers bid performance versus seller expectations. For the last three years, bids have come up short of sellers ask prices. The index prior to the failed auction was -5.7%. Meanwhile, the banking industry purrs right along earning a record $42.2 billion in the second quarter. For the banks, this was the 16th consecutive quarter of year-over-year increases. A primary driver of the record earnings is less money being socked away in loan-loss reserves. Banks put away the lowest loss provision since the third quarter of 2006. The banking industrys coverage ratio of reserves to noncurrent loans is still only 62.3%, far below what was once the standard of greater than 100%. Remember when President Obama and the Treasury Department claimed the bank bailouts were generating a profit? Special Inspector General Christy Romero overseeing TARP said, It is a widely held misconception that TARP will make a profit. The most recent cost estimate for TARP is a loss of $60 billion. Taxpayers are still owed $118.5 billion (including $14 billion written off or otherwise lost). Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have turned things around and are generating huge profits, you say? Not so fast. According to bank analyst Chris Whalen, If we were to implement the guidance from FHFA today, it is pretty clear that the profits of the GSEs [government-sponsored enterprises] would have been largely offset by the allocations needed to replenish the reserves. GSE profits would disappear, and $10 to $20 billion would need to be added to reserves. Not only does FNM [Fannie Mae] seem to be unprofitable under the new FHFA guidance, but payments made to Treasury might need to be reversed, writes Whalen. A zombie government armed with accounting tricks has bailed out a zombie banking industry using even more financial phoniness. A few numbers pushed here and there, and the industry is earning record profits. But out in the real world where people live and work, things arent so rosy. Zombies make negligent landlords and dangerous neighbors.

3	Scientists Are About To Resurrect A 30,000-Year-Old Virus To Discover If It Is Harmful To HumansBy Amanda Froelich In contrast to other viruses, the soft Siberian bug is a monster. Not only does it have 523 genetic proteins and measures 0.6 microns, it can also be seen using light microscopy. As BBC Newsreports, the Mollivirus sibericum virus is the fourth prehistoric virus to have been discovered since 2003, and experts warn climate change and thawing ice could resurrect similar and perhaps even more dangerous pathogens. The French National Center for Scientific Research made the discovery in the Kolyma lowland region of Russia. The soft Siberian virus is the second of its kind to be found by the team. In 2003, researchers discovered the Minivirus, followed by the Pandoraviruses in 2013, and Pithovirus sibericum which was discovered last year. Reserachers wrote in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS): The saga of giant viruses started in 2003.Two additional types of giant viruses have been discovered [and] we now describe Mollivirus sibericum, a fourth type of giant virus isolated from the same permafrost sample.These four types of giant virus exhibit different structures, sizes, genome length, and replication cycles.Their origin and mode of evolution are the subject of conflicting hypotheses.The fact that two different viruses could be easily revived from prehistoric permafrost should be of concern in a context of global warming. The regions in which these mega microbes are being discovered are being increasingly exploited for their mineral resources, especially oil. As Upriser shares, the rate at which they are exploited will no doubt increase as the areas become more accessible due to melting ice and climate change. Said lead researcher Jean-Michel Claverie: A few viral particles that are still infectious may be enough, in the presence of a vulnerable host, to revive potentially pathogenic viruses. If we are not careful, and we industrialize these areas without putting safeguards in place, we run the risk of one day waking up viruses such as small pox that we thought were eradicated. Thats definitely concerning. In the lab, Professor Claverie and his team will attempt to resurrect the newly discovered virus by placing it with a single-cell amoeba, which will serve as its host. The virus Pithovirus sibericum was revived in March 2014 using similar techniques. Research has been carried out, and according to co-author Dr Chantal Abergel, the viruscomes into the cell, multiplies and finally kills the cell. It is able to kill the amoeba but it wont infect a human cell. Still, a lot of controversy surrounds the scientists plan to revive the Mollivirussibericum virus. Different than most viruses circulating today, these ancient pathogens are not only bigger, theyre far more complex genetically. The recently discovered virus has more than 500 genes, and the Pandoravirus found in 2003 has 2,500. Compare that to the Influenza A virus which has eight genes. Of course, a philosophical debate will not deter scientists from doing their work, but a number of pros and cons deserve to be weighed before further research is conducted. In 2004, United States scientists resurrected the Spanish flu virus, which ended up killing tens of millions of people at the start of the 20th century. The revived the virus to understand why the pathogen was so virulent. Researchers from the States traveled to Alaska to take frozen lung tissues from a woman who was buried in permafrost, and teased genetic details out of the samples and from autopsy issues stored in formalin. Their work allowed the team to reconstruct the code for the virus eight genes but at what cost? All the work was done in a top-security lab at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), yet still wasnt contained. We have to ask ourselves as an informed public and voice our concerns to those in charge if reviving a monster virus and is really in the best interest of the public. What are your thoughts?

You have permission to republish this article under a Creative Commons license with attribution to the author and Trueselfnews.com Resurrecting a pathogenic virus is absolutely and completely stupid!! Period. There is no Plan B. What if is tremendously virulent??? No plan for that..! Dont do it!! Wrong. Think for a second. With the rate global warming is going now, that virus is going to reveal itself some day regardless, it is completely inevitable. This way, at least scientists can create a vaccine before that happens. Wow, I have no faith in vaccines! Look what they are doing to our children. Would you want to put your life, your future into their hands with forced vaccinations for everyone since this supervirus would be pressing itself upon us? Do you really, truly trust those folks? I dont think so! Im vaccinated. I have super powers. Do you? What are they doing to our children? Keeping them alive? Preventing disease?? Am I missing something here?! Hogwash. There IS no global warming; its a complete and utter sham. Resurrecting ancient viruses is total madness. You mean climate change. That has always happened through Earths history. Dont really matter if a bug gets out. HUMANS are eradicating forest that provides us with clean air,eradicating forests that provides us with medicines,poisoning ourselves with food and poisoning our much needed clean water supplies with improper waste management. Only those with the right genetic chemistry will survive a prehistoric outbreak. Let nature run its course. The earth knows how to cleanse itself. And unfortunately we are more of a parasite to the Earth then any virus. We cant live without the earth but the earth can flourish without us humans. Yes, the global warming that is so obvious they have to manufacture and manipulate the data to get a .04% bump with a 35% confidence rating Maybe this is the bug the wiped out the dinosaurs.. maybe not, but I am not comfortable reanimating it More fear porn and an advertisement for the mentality of those who want DOMINATION. Dont buy into it. Always send threats back to the SOURCE by saying this YOUR will not mine will be done. This way they suffer at their OWN hands. When you become involved in fear or negative emotion, you are inviting..back on yourself. What a perfect way to strip oneself of perspective and common sense. It theres a threat, make some preparations, do something about it. Dont just play with words instead Take Action! Why not both??? Obviously you havent taken the time to learn about your very real power within. My children Are in their 40s 50s. To me its common sense that you dont pump toxins into the body or take pills potions handed out by Drs. When you run to Drs for aches pains you get what you grizzle for. I dont go near Drs. So your sarcasm back at you. I think you must be replying to someone else.? You mention sending sarcasm back at someone but the whole thing just doesnt make sense as a reply to my comment. Hope you find a way to respond to the person you were targeting. On its own this could be seen as potentially catastrophic, however, when seen as a possible source of a possible epidemic it pales in comparison to what the major world powers are concocting in biolabs..we have 100 of them here in the USA with many being a Level IV facility. Man has already engineered and created bio weapons that have the potential to destroy however many living things as wanted. I agree that exploring this new virus may tantalize scientists but exactly how are they going to test it to see its lethality? Are they going to start with lesser species and move their way up into the human population without telling us? Its happened before. If we are never told the truth about what makes us severely ill and kills us, how are we to know we are being used as guinea pigs! No doubt scientists want to find out if they can use it or tweak it to kill a lot of people. This is what they do while pretending to do good things like creating vaccines to protect us. Wherever theres money behind these efforts, theres malevolence. I dont think they are thinking about much past their own egos and accolades nowadays. They want to tweak it just because they can. for research grants and great opportunities to publish white papers to get even more research money to do more research, say, on the reason a shrimp farts..or better yet..lets stick a shrimp on a treadmill and . I think the people/entities giving them money are doing the thinking and we arent clear on what that thinking is and dont suspect we will be updated any time soon..that bothers me. It is able to kill the amoeba but it wont infect a human cell. They will modify it and then it will kill humans as well. thats their main goal, isnt it? With that many genes it can obviously mutate itself for survival. So is GEs frankenfish but that got a patent and cleared by the FDAto eatLOL Crazy! Just another reason to cause death and scare the rest of into getting their new vaccine. This complex monster virus may be the only such virus in existence and I would rather we avoided a catastrophe, human or animal/insect, so I would say we should seriously consider burning this very dangerous virus. Just read up on smallpox and you begin to consider that the worlds worst killer can return. If it does, 20% of the population will not be able to be vaccinated because of health issues, some will die because of vaccination and how will you vaccinate everyone? Who will pay? The Mexicans? This is one terrible article. It is fearmongering based on a largely incorrect understanding of microbiology lab processes, and attempts to play on the fears emotions of the general population by using phrasing such as monster virus frankenvirus, Thats definitely concerning etc. Additionally, it uses incorrect jargon to make it seem more dangerous than it actually is. Now on to actual facts: -These tests are conducted in BSL Level 3 4 laboratories, which are ridiculously stringently regulated to prevent any contamination to the outside world. I cannot stress enough on how highly controlled these environments are to prevent outside contamination. SARS, Ebola, MRSA and many other microbes are tested in these facilities on a daily basis, allowing for better lines of drugs combating these diseases to be developed in cases of an outbreak. These laboratories are the reason we are able to quickly react to epidemics such as Ebola. -More proteins in a virus does not mean it is more harmful. In fact, it is quiet the opposite the virus needs to spend far more energy resources to replicate itself, resulting in a heavily impeded ability to replicate and spread. Additionally, the increased size impedes the ability to stay hidden in cells, making it an easier target for the immune system. -Genetic complexity does not determine virulence, see early bullet point. Again, a fundamental lack of understanding in microbiology by the author of the article. -The testing of such viruses that may become present in the future due to climate change allow us to design drugs and other measures to reduce the risk posed by them. Without the knowledge, we are (potentially, in the unlikely case it actually is even capable of replicating in a human host, let alone cause disease) always worse off. Sorry for the wall of text, but it pisses me off when people with a fundamental lack of understanding on the topic they are covering write severely misleading incorrect articles simply to get a reaction out of people. This is unethical journalism at its finest. I cannot think of even ONE reason to resurrect a virus that has died out and been gone for well beyond what most of us think of in terms of history. There can only be BAD from this one. Only bad. The highest bidder would be able to secure some of the tweaked resurrected virus and do a lot of damage with it. Of course, governments like our own would create a vaccine of some sort and try to scare/force people into getting it. Who knows they may insert it into a future flu vaccine and create havok that way. If it died out, there was a reason for it. ZERO need to resurrect it. The only ones who would think it was a good idea would be those who are thinking in terms of population control. IF they go ahead with this one, I vote that the scientists do the research with their own pets and family members. The rest of us are not interested. 
2	BREAKING: Lynchs Bill Clinton Story Falls Apart... Caught Red Handed Doing THIS For the past week, United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch has been trying to excuse her private meeting with former President Bill Clinton in Phoenix, Arizona as a casual coincidence. According to Lynch, the visit was a social one that happened only because Clinton was coincidentally in Phoenix to play golf while she was there. Despite her claims, mounting evidence indicates that this isnt the case as all. First, Lynch claimed that she met with Clinton as I was leaving. At least one report from an insider present at the event claims that after Lynch finished up her meeting with Clinton, she continued on to other business in Phoenix. The second questionable bit is that Clinton was in Phoenix to golf. The reporter who broke the original story, Christopher Sign, noted that he could find no proof that Clinton had even played golf. This shoots down Lynchs claims that she and Clinton talked about golf while they were on the plane together. What do you think? Are Lynch and Clinton clearly hiding something? 
1	A study released Monday by the American Public Transportation Association reveals that 98 percent of Americans support the use of mass transit by others. Traffic moves slowly near Seatte, WA, where a majority of drivers say they support other people using mass transit. 'With traffic congestion, pollution, and oil shortages all getting worse, now is the time to shift to affordable, efficient public transportation,' APTA director Howard Collier said. 'Fortunately, as this report shows, Americans have finally recognized the need for everyone else to do exactly that.' Of the study's 5,200 participants, 44 percent cited faster commutes as the primary reason to expand public transportation, followed closely by shorter lines at the gas station. Environmental and energy concerns ranked a distant third and fourth, respectively. Anaheim, CA, resident Lance Holland, who drives 80 miles a day to his job in downtown Los Angeles, was among the proponents of public transit. 'Expanding mass transit isn't just a good idea, it's a necessity,' Holland said. 'My drive to work is unbelievable. I spend more than two hours stuck in 12 lanes of traffic. It's about time somebody did something to get some of these other cars off the road.' Public support for mass transit will naturally lead to its expansion and improvement, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials said. 'With everyone behind it, we'll be able to expand bus routes, create park-and-ride programs, and build entire new Metrolink commuter-rail lines,' LACMTA president Howard Sager said. 'It's almost a shame I don't know anyone who will be using these new services.' Sager said he expects wide-scale expansion of safe, efficient, and economical mass-transit systems to reduce traffic congestion in all major metropolitan areas in the coming decades. Morning rush hour on one of Los Angeles' economical, environmentally friendly buses. 'Improving public transportation will do a great deal of good, creating jobs, revitalizing downtown areas, and reducing pollution,' Sager said. 'It also means a lot to me personally, as it should cut 20 to 25 minutes off my morning drive.' The APTA study also noted that of the 98 percent of Americans who drive to work, 94 percent are the sole occupant of their automobile. 'When public transportation is not practical, commuters should at least be carpooling,' Collier said. 'Most people, unlike me, probably work near someone they know and don't need to be driving alone.' Collier said he hopes the study serves as a wake-up call to Americans. In conjunction with its release, the APTA is kicking off a campaign to promote mass transit with the slogan, 'Take The Bus... I'll Be Glad You Did.' The campaign is intended to de-emphasize the inconvenience and social stigma associated with using public transportation, focusing instead on the positives. Among these positives: the health benefits of getting fresh air while waiting at the bus stop, the chance to meet interesting people from a diverse array of low-paying service-sector jobs, and the opportunity to learn new languages by reading subway ads written in Spanish. 'People need to realize that public transportation isn't just for some poor sucker to take to work,' Collier said. 'He should also be taking it to the shopping mall, the supermarket, and the laundromat.' 
1	Leaving no trace of his attendance at the industry conference, American Academy of Periodontology Annual Convention attendee Bill Hancock reportedly removed his name tag Thursday and instantly vanished back into the world of anonymous Hilton Orlando guests. Hancock, who only moments prior had been representing his Kenosha, WIbased oral and maxillofacial surgery group at a session titled Enhancing Results With Periodontal-Orthodontic Therapy, was said to be last seen headed toward the hotels lobby bar, at which point he peeled the adhesive sticker from his shirt pocket and dissolved into the faceless masses of business travelers and vacationing families. Reports indicate that numerous convention attendees were left wondering where Hancock could have gone, questioning whether he was still in the vicinity of the Orange Ballroom or if he had merely been an apparition conjured by their minds over the past four days of speaker luncheons and clinical technique showcases. Sources went on to confirm that the only evidence Hancock ever existed at all was a business card discovered in the conventions raffle jar for a free lunch at Spencers For Steaks & Chops restaurant. 
2	Texas Police Chief Shot In The Head, In Critical Condition... Please Send Prayers President Obama lost the respect of law enforcement throughout the country when he blamed American police officers for the violent race riots that were breaking out throughout the country. Since he made his controversial comments, the number of attacks on U.S. cops has skyrocketedthanks in large part to his comments and endorsement from the media. We have lost too many cops this year, and Police Chief Darrell Allan is just one of them. The 43-year-old was shot on Sunday morning by the thug he was attempting to arrest while off duty at a nightclub. He and another officer attempted to detain Derrick Gamble, but he drew his handgun. Allan is now fighting the life-threatening injury in a hospital. He is in critical, but stable condition, and will likely undergo another round of surgeries. 24-year-old Gamble was arrested and is being charged with aggravated assault against a peace officer. What do you think? Is it time for Obama to speak up in support of American law enforcement? 
3	Survey: Over a Third of Americans Would Like to ExpatriateBy Joshua Krause Of course, that number is just a drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the population. However, moving to a new country is often a tedious an expensive process. If it were easier, how many people do you think would be willing to leave this country? A new survey conducted by the peer-to-peer money transfer service known as TransferWise, asked that question to 2000 American residents and citizens. They found that 35% of them would consider leaving the good old US of A. Whats especially interesting, is that they found this interest to be much higher in younger Americans. 55% of those between the ages of 18 and 34, said they would consider moving to another country. Obviously, something must be seriously wrong with our nation if so many young people are willing to leave; a notion that would have been unthinkable just a generation ago. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple,where this first appeared. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author. You can follow Joshuas reports at Facebook or on his personal Twitter. Joshuas website is Strange Danger. Why dont we start by letting our children born in America be born free, not be forced to be U.S. citizens from birth but allowed to choose when they become adults and not punished if they choose not to be a U.S. citizen. If you renounce US citizenship, can you continue receiving social security? 
2	Jeb Bush Is FURIOUS After Donald Trump DESTROYS Him On Live TV Presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Donald Trump are once again at odds after Trump made claims that George W. Bush did a poor job as president. I think I have a bigger heart than all of them, Trump said of American officials during the 9/11 attacks. I think Im much more competent then all of them. I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time. Bloombergs Stephanie Ruhle fired back at Trump, claiming that he could not blame Bush for the attacks. He was president, OK? Trump responded. Dont blame him or dont blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign. If you look at Sandy Hook, those people are still begging for help. Jeb Bush quickly took to Twitter to defend his brother, claiming: How pathetic for @realdonaldtrump to criticize the president for 9/11. We were attacked my brother kept us safe. What do you think? Did Trump take things too far or is he justified? 
3	Foreshock? A Significant Earthquake Just Hit The New Madrid Fault Seismic ZoneBy Michael Snyder A big Hollywood blockbuster was named after the San Andreas fault, but the truth is that the New Madrid fault has the potential to do vastly more damage. That is why what happened in a remote section of western Kentucky very early this morningwas so alarming An earthquake near La Center, Kentucky was felt in parts of Illinois and Missouri early on Sunday morning. According to the National Weather Service in Paducah and the USGS, a magnitude 3.5 was recorded about 8.7 miles north of La Center and 24.2 miles west of Paducah. It happenedaround 1:12 a.m. andhad a depth of about 8.3 miles. Quite often, there are foreshocks that warn us that a major earthquake is coming to a particular area, and many are wondering if this event qualifies. Most Americans dont tend to think of the middle of the country as an area that is in danger from earthquakes, but the truth is that some of the worst earthquakes in U.S. history have taken place along the New Madrid fault. The following comesfrom the USGS The New Madrid seismic zone of southeast Missouri and adjacent States is the most seismically active in North America east of the Rockies. During the winter of 1811-1812 three very large earthquakes devastated the area and were felt throughout most of the Nation. They occurred a few weeks apart on December 16, January 23, and February 7. Hundreds of aftershocks, some severely damaging by themselves, continued for years. Prehistoric earthquakes similar in size to those of 1811-1812 occurred in the middle 1400s and around 900 A.D. Strong, damaging earthquakes struck the southwestern end of the seismic zone near Marked Tree, Arkansas in 1843 (magnitude 6.3), and the northeastern end near Charleston, Missouri in 1895 (magnitude 6.6). Since 1900, moderately damaging earthquakes have struck the seismic zone every few decades. Those earthquakes in 1811 and 1812 tore thousands of very deep fissures in the ground, they caused the Mississippi River to actually run backwards in some places, and they caused sidewalks to crack in Washington D.C. and church bells to ring in Boston. In our time, the U.S. Geological Survey has admitted that the New Madrid fault zone has the potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought, and we have seen the number of significant earthquakes in the middle part of the country more than quintuple in recent years. If a magnitude 7 or magnitude 8 earthquake were to strike along the New Madrid fault today, the damage that would be done would be absolutely unimaginable because of the nature of the Earths crust in this region. According to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, earthquakes along the New Madrid fault shake and damage an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in California Due to the harder, colder, drier and less fractured nature of the rocks in the earths crust in the central United States, earthquakes in this region shake and damage an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in California and most other active seismic areas. Even though large earthquakes occur much less frequently in the NMSZ than in California, the long term average quake threat, in terms of square miles affected per century, is about the same because of the approximately 20 times larger area affected in the central United States. Are you starting to get an idea of just how devastating this kind of disaster could be? Once upon a time, our continent almost divided along the New Madrid fault. Of course that didnt happen, but a massive scar formed deep underground, and this area of weakness has remained ever since. The following comes fromWikipedia The faults responsible for the New Madrid Seismic Zone are embedded in a subsurface geological feature known as the Reelfoot Rift that formed during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia in the Neoproterozoic Era (about 750 million years ago). The resulting rift system failed to split the continent, but has remained as an aulacogen (a scar or zone of weakness) deep underground, and its ancient faults appear to have made the Earths crust in the New Madrid area mechanically weaker than much of the rest of North America. This relative weakness is important, because it would allow the relatively small east-west compressive forces associated with the continuing continental drift of the North American plate to reactivate old faults around New Madrid, making the area unusually prone to earthquakes in spite of it being far from the nearest tectonic plate boundary. One day, I believe that a major seismic event in the area of this deep scar will literally divide the United States in half. What that will do to our country is the kind of stuff that apocalyptic novels are written about. And it is also important to keep in mind that there are 15 nuclear reactors along the New Madrid fault zone, so if a massive earthquake did strike the region we could be looking at Fukushima times 15. So yes, I am always concerned whenever a significant earthquake hits the New Madrid fault. On another note, I want to thank everyone who has helped make my new book entitled The Rapture Verdict such a roaring success. Over the weekend it actually bumped into the top 300 on Amazon.com. At one point it was sitting at #237 out of more than 3,000,000 books currently listed on the site. In Matthew 24, Jesus warned us that the time just prior to His return would be marked by earthquakes in diverse places, and right now we are witnessing a dramatic rise in seismic activity all over the planet. A great shaking is coming to this nation, and the majority of Americans are completely unprepared for it. Are you?

[fictional] Jesus warned us that the time just prior to His return. as a HOLOGRAM only ! Isaiah 45:9 Isaiah 45: Isaiah 44: Isaiah 13:13 Cyrus = Jesus Although the possibility of a major quake from the New Madrid fault could be serious indeed, I probably make more of a tremor when I get out of bed than this 3.5 tremor.

3	As Predicted, Obamacare Is Absolutely Killing The Middle ClassBy Michael Snyder We witnessed the latest stunning example of this phenomenon just a few days ago. It turns out that Aetna has been losing hundreds of millions of dollars on plans sold through the health exchanges, and now they plan to pull out of the programalmost entirely Earlier this week, Aetna, which covers about 900,000 people through the health exchanges created under Obamacare, announced that it would dramatically reduce its presence those exchanges. Instead of expanding into five new states this year, as the insurer had previously planned, the company said that it would drop out of 11 of the 15 states in which it currently sells under the law. Aetnas decision follows similar moves from other insurers: UnitedHealth announced in April that it would cease selling plans on most exchanges. Shortly after, Humana pulled out of two states, Virginia and Alabama. More than a dozen of the nonprofit health insurance cooperatives set up under the lawhealth insurance carriers created using government-back loans in order to spur competitionhave failed entirely. While some insurers are entering the exchanges, even more are leaving. Another one of the big five, UnitedHealth, is going to lose more than half a billion dollars on Obamacare plans. So just a few months ago they also announced that they would be dramatically scaling back their participation in the program. Because of the ridiculous costs, health insurance companies are either going to have to abandon the exchanges completely or they will have to raise rates substantially. Needless to say, the people that are going to ultimately feel the pain from all of thisare consumers Customers who are now forced to obtain insurance or pay a hefty fine that grows more costly over time are being left in a difficult position. Americans are essentially stuck between a rock and hard place, either losing coverage entirely, or having to cough up money for a plan they cant afford. Something has to give, said Larry Levitt, a healthcare law expert at the Kaiser Family Foundation. Either insurers will drop out or insurers will raise premiums. On the low end of the spectrum, tens of millions of poor Americans benefit from government programs that provide health care at little or no cost. On the other end of the spectrum, the very wealthy can afford to pay the ridiculously high health insurance premiums that we are seeing under Obamacare. So what this means is that the people that are being hurt the most by Obamacare are those that belong to the middle class. As I mentioned above, employers are now hiring less workers because of Obamacare, and that is very bad news for the middle class. One recent study conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York discovered that nearly one out of every five firms is employing fewer workers because of this insidious law According to a new survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 20.9% of manufacturing firms in the state said they were employing fewer workers because of the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare law known as Obamacare, while 16.8% of respondents in the service sector said the same. And middle class Americans that have to pay for their own health insurance are being hit with much higher bills these days. According to one recent study, it is being projected that the average Obamacare premium will go up 24 percent in 2016 Now, courtesy of a new study by independent analyst Charles Gaba who has crunched the numbers for insurers participating in the ACA exchanges in all 50 states we can also calculate what the average Obamacare premium increase across the entire US will be: using proposed and approved rate increase requests, the average Obamacare premium is expected to surge by a whopping 24% this year. EvenNBC News, which is about as pro-Obama as you can get, is reporting on the crippling premium increases that are devastating the middle class Millions of people who pay the full cost of their health insurance will face the sting of rising premiums next year, with no financial help from government subsidies. Renewal notices bearing the bad news will go out this fall, just as the presidential election is in the home stretch. I dont know if I could swallow another 30 or 40 percent without severely cutting into other things Im trying to do, like retirement savings or reducing debt, said Bob Byrnes, of Blaine, Minnesota, a Twin Cities suburb. His monthly premium of $524 is already about 50 percent more than he was paying in 2015, and he has a higher deductible. All over the nation people are getting hit like this. Personally, my health insurance company wanted to nearly double the rate I was paying when Obamacare fully kicked in. So I searched around and found another plan that was only about a 30 percent increase, but at least it wasnt nearly double what I had been paying before. But when the time came to renew that plan, they wanted to jump my premium up another 50 percent per month. Those of us who are in the middle are being crushed by Obamacare. We arent poor enough to qualify for government assistance, and we arent wealthy enough for these ridiculous health insurance premiums not to matter. Just about everything that Barack Obama promised us about Obamacare has turned out to be a lie. So where in the accountability? This is one of the big reasons why nearly one out of every five U.S. adults lives with their parents or their grandparents these days. Many young adults cannot afford the basics of life such as health insurance, and so they have got to find a way to cut back expenses somewhere. If that means moving back in with Mom and Dad, that is what some of them are going to do. I am astounded that our system of health care has become so messed up. But this is just more evidence of how our society is falling apart in thousands of different ways, and I am not optimistic that things will be turned around any time soon.

Why do all the articles about Aetnas alleged losses intentionally fail to mention Aetna is attempting to buy Humana for $37 billion? Their threat to leave Obamacare is nothing other than blackmail against the DOJ for blocking this merger. How can Aetna be losing money and still pay $37 billion for another company? And of serious concern why does our so-called alternative media keep telling the same lie? The Obama admin boosts about the great number of people that have enrolled in Obama Care. By far, the largest group is the welfare insurance of Medicaid funded by Obama Care money through expansion of state programs. The next group is people forced to take Obama Care after they were forced off their employee plan. Anybody remember, You can keep your existing plan I was never sure if this was bullshit propaganda or stupidity on Obamas part. This latter group is the middle class feeling the pain of endless premium increases, dropped coverage, rising deductions and co-payments, contested claims (which your will never prevail). First thing that needs to change is to stop calling it Healthcare. Obama Care does not provide health care. It is an insurance extraction/extortion scam that operates the same as any other wall street extortion scam. Its purpose is to send your/my hard earned money to the .1%. 
1	The winless Miami Dolphins have conspired with the Cleveland Browns in an attempt to finally defeat the unbeaten New England Patriots by catching them in a 'trap game,' sources from both teams reported Tuesday. 'Right, here's the plan: We take the field on Sunday and pretend to play football as usual. But just as the Patriots are about to score their third touchdown, we'll all suddenly tell them to 'look over there' and point at the stands,' a Dolphins player who refused to be named reportedly told the Browns squad in a secret closed-door meeting Monday. 'When the Patriots are distracted, we'll give you the signal. That's when you sneak up behind them, grab them, drag them into the visitors' locker room, switch uniforms with them, and come back out and let us win. Which is okay because everyone will think we're beating the Patriots. Not by too much, thoughit has to look convincing or else people will suspect.' The Dolphins are reportedly considering scrapping the idea, however, as sources inside the team suspect that Brady Quinn accidentally blurted out the entire plan while having lunch with the Patriots yesterday. 
2	Megyn Kelly Humiliated Before Hosting GOP Candidate Event Donald Trump and Fox News host Megyn Kelly have been going head to head for months now. Following the first GOP debate in August, the pair has been at each others throatsand the conflict ultimately led to Donald Trump refusing to participate in a debate moderated by Kelly. Now, Trump is making it clear that he has no intentions of supporting Kelly or softening his position. In fact, he has refused to participate in a two-hour special called The Kelly File: Face to Face with Candidates. Kelly is set to met and interview every GOP candidate that is still in the racewith the exception of the GOP front-runner. Trumps campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks confirmed that Trump will not attend the special, though she did confirm that Trump will be attending next months Fox News debate. The campaign has a previous engagement in Virginia and then New York, which could not be rescheduled, Hicks told reporters. Given this was just proposed at the last minute, it was not possible to change our plans in order to attend. Mr. Trump looks forward to participating in the next Fox News debate. He may be denying that this has anything to do with Kelly, but history would indicate otherwise. What do you think? 
1	Heeding the instructions of state officials and emergency personnel, thousands of New Jersey residents were able to escape Hurricane Sandys devastating floodwaters Monday by ascending to the crest of Gov. Chris Christie and riding out the storm atop the first-term Republican. According to flyovers conducted this morning, several thousand citizens from Sandy Hook to Cape Mayincluding almost the entire population of Atlantic Cityfollowed our advice to climb up Mr. Christies legs and torso to reach the highest point of the governor, said New Jersey emergency management director Rick Fuentes, noting that there were numerous food provisions located throughout the moderate Republicans clothing that could be accessed by those currently stranded on him. Thankfully, Gov. Christie has a strong, solidly built foundation and was easily able to withstand gusts of up to 90 miles per hour, as well as a fast-moving storm surge. So we ask the thousands of you still clinging to the governor to just hold tightand dont worry, because that things not going anywhere. Fuentes then stated that rescue boats and helicopters were being mobilized and urged the remaining citizens stuck atop Christie to be patient and avoid straying too close to his mouth.

And its not surprising, given that our leader essentially gave them permission to do so. Recently, two thugs in Florida decided to film themselves pointing a gun at a Sheriffs vehicle while they were driving down a private road. The passenger is clearly shown sipping a beer. Then the duo decided to post the video to Snapchat. They dont take this seriously, Florida police officer Luis Blasco said of the incident, claiming that the video is a representation of youths lack of care for the lives of officers. Social media has made it one-hundred times worse. Blasco went on to add that social networks glorify stupidity. What do you think? Do you support our officers? Is it time for Obama to speak out in their defense? 
3	How To Defeat The GlobalistsDave Hodges When I appear as a guest on many radio shows, I am frequently asked how we defeat the globalists. What is the correct answer in response to the question, How do we defeat the globalists? Do We Oppose the Globalists In the Physical or Spiritual Domain? There can be little question that the globalists need to be opposed at every juncture of their unwarranted intrusions into our lives. If all we do is oppose our enemies at the physical gate, all we can hope to achieve is a stalemate. However, if we also employ the known spiritual weapons, which God has bestowed upon us, humanity could literally make quantum leaps in our circumstances and we would be more intimately connected to our source of creation. Winning the Battle of Logic There is a clearly a war for the control of our minds. The globalists have successfully seduced the bulk of humanity into becoming little more than sheep who believe the lies put forth by the mainstream media. In an interview I conducted with Jim Marrs, I asked him how we could best counter the power that the globalists have over the people in our country, Jim answered Turn the TV off. Sometimes, wisdom comes in simple packages and Marrs has the talent for making the complex appear to be simple. We need to attack the globalists stronghold that they use to imprison humanity. The globalists do not maintain control over us because they control the politicians. They do not maintain control over us because they control most of the instruments of law enforcement. The globalists control us because they control our minds by propagandizing us to death on a daily basis through the mainstream media. If CNN and FOX were to disappear, we would stop being conditioned on what to think, and begin thinking for ourselves. Subsequently, the veil of deception would be removed from over our eyes. The sheep would lose their media based shepherd and the sheep would be forced to find their own way in life. The resulting paradigm could lead to a global awakening and, other than the return of Jesus, this would constitute the worst nightmare for the globalists. Winning the Numbers War I have immersed myself in discovering how change occurs. Why do some movements take hold and win the day, while others die on the vine? The answer coming from the field of social psychology is surprisingly simple. Scientists from the prestigious Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have determined that if just 10% of any given population holds to an unshakable idea, that the idea will become adopted by the majority of the country. However, the scientists who belong to the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) found that if the ideas are shared by less than 10% of the population, the idea will not progress and will eventually die out. The research was first published in a peer reviewed E Journal in an article titled Social consensus through the influence of committed minorities. Computational and analytical methods were used to discover the tipping point where an obscure idea eventually becomes the majority opinion. The finding has dramatic implications for those of us trying to wake up the sheep in this country. The SNARC scientists found that the 10% figure was applicable whether they were talking about the spread of innovations or to advance a political ideal. Reaching 10% of the population should be the goal of the alternative media. Rediscovering Our Inner Power If the people of this planet only understood the power that lies within each one of us, our global elite oppressors would run for cover. After researching this topic for years, I am convinced that the transhumanism experiments are, at their core, a representation of a distinct effort on the part of demonically inspired rulers of this planet to discover and harness the true nature and power of the soul as well as to use the power for their own evil purposes. Let me be clear, I am firmly convinced that if we do not stand up and oppose our slavemasters, we will indeed lose our most special resource, our soul. What has frustrated the globalists is that the power of the mind, the body and the soul are inextricably intertwined, and their efforts to morph (e.g. combining human and animal DNA) and to control have been met with failure. The soul, in particular is connected to our source point of origin and the globalists have failed in their experiments, at places like Plum Island, in altering and/or controlling this aspect of our nature. Our point of origin which is manifested in our soul cannot be separated from a person and this fact represents the ultimate roadblock to total domination of our being by the global elite. The globalists can theoretically control the entire physical realm and all food, water and weapons. However, they cannot stop the power of what lies deep inside of all human beings. Unfortunately, humanity has not claimed our God-given power. The good news is that our spiritual powers are not just the proclamations and claims of mystics and metaphysical masters, these facts are now being quantified by science, despite the globalists best efforts to counter this power and to suppress the release of this information to the general public. There is much more to the power of the mind than the gatekeepers of the mainstream of society cares to admit. The global elite have been aware of and have tried to counter this power for all of human history. The Bible was correct when it said that people with faith can move mountains and now we have the scientific proof. Make no mistake about it, the globalist-controlled media holds the power of prayer, the power of intention and the power of the presence of what we label as miracles, in total contempt. There are significant reasons why I believe we will see a great purge against all genuine expressions of spirituality in the very near future. In fact this purge has already begun and it explains why the American Stasi, the Department of Homeland Security, has declared Bible-believing Christians to be domestic terror threats. After reading this article, you will discover when America descends into the tyranny of martial law, Christians will be the first large group to be purged. We will be persecuted and exterminated because our faith teaches how best to combat the power of the satanically inspired globalists. It turns out that I had to leave some of my formal education behind in order to embrace a higher reality than the one I was trained in. In Rupert Sheldrakes (Seven Experiments That Could Change the World: A Do It Yourself Guide to Revolutionary Science, 1995), he demonstrated that people can predict when they are being stared at from behind. This fact has very strong survival implications and this made a great deal of sense to me since much of our behavior is based upon survival. This discovery opened my mind ever so slightly as to the power that we all possess. On the heels of the Rupert experiments, I discovered that committing random acts of kindness is very good for our health and our sense of well-being and this principle was actually being quantified in traditional research in manner that actually operationalized the concept of Pay it forward. Sonja Lyubomirsky in her book, The How of Happiness, spoke about the benefit of being kind. Performing an act of kindness releases serotonin in your brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter (i.e. brain messenger) which has demonstrable health benefits, including the ability to make us feel more happy. Not only does the originator of the act of kindness get a bump in their Serotonin levels, but so does the recipient of the act of kindness. Even people watching the random act of kindness feel good as a result of watching kindness in action. Do you understand what this means? We are hard-wired to be kind. Evil is destructive and love is life-preserving. Subsequently, our brains and their reactions to events are entangled. The Mechanics of Global Consciousness Performing the same research, over and over, under the same conditions and achieving the same results is the hallmark of good research (i.e. replicability). Through the Princeton EGGS experiment we now have solid, replicable empirical evidence that humans interactdirectly with each other and the world in the domain of consciousness, despite physical barriers and geographic separation. As an aside, one night I was driving cross country and was listening to the classic Art Bell show. He was bemoaning the fact that an area of the country was experiencing devastating drought conditions. He did something that I had never seen before. Art performed a human consciousness experiment in which he asked the estimated 6-9 million listeners to his show to concentrate on bringing rain to a drought-stricken region. This experiment, performed on air, lasted for about 3-4 minutes. It was not very good radio because there was a lot of dead air. However, I thought the concept was interesting, and so much so, I followed up on the results and discovered that torrential rains visited the area when no rain was called for in the forecast. Flooding resulted and when I tuned back into Arts show, I discovered he was freaked out and swore to never to perform the experiment again. I took this anecdotal experience from Art Bells on air experiment and began to read about the phenomenon. I discovered that repeated experiments demonstrate an effect on experimenter instruments through the individual and combined group intentions in an experiment called the Princeton EGGs in which they subsequently named this power as group consciousness. Can you imagine if we, the useless eaters, could be taught pray for the same things? We could literally force the globalists off the planet. They know this and this is why they suppress the knowledge. The Awesome Power of Prayer The term distant healing has actually made its way into the lexicon of the National Institute of Health (NIH). Many medical facilities, including hospitals, referred to this phenomenon by various terms including prayer, spiritual healing and non-local healing. Just within the past few years, two major peer-reviewed journals have published studies on healing at a distance. The Annals of Internal Medicine published a review of 28 double-blind distant healing studies from reputable journals which came to the stunning conclusion that there is enough evidence to support a measurable effect of prayer at a distance and that more research was warranted and needed. Additionally, The Archives of Internal Medicine published a study, which reviewed the health data of 990 cardiac patients who were prayed for in a double-blind study. In this study, the people did not know that they were either being prayed for, or were not being prayed for. Further, in keeping with the tenets of double-blind studies, the people doing the praying did not know the individuals they were praying for. The praying people merely had a list of first names and last initials representing the people that were being prayed for. The survival rate of the group prayed for was significantly and measurably higher than the control group, in which nobody was prayed for. Does experience with praying make a difference in the outcome? It is interesting to note that many of the people in the formal studies used experienced healers, while many studies have demonstrated that novices are just as effective. However, there is empirical evidence which suggests that these skills can be taught. Various schools and disciplines (e.g. Reiki, Therapeutic Touch) have collectively produced nearly a half of a million of trained prayer practitioners on the skills related to intercessory prayer. Stunningly, the National Institutes of Health is calling for more research to address the question of how to integrate healing at a distance prayers into the practices of mainstream medicine. Dr. Larry Scherwitz, who was the co-director research at the Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California, has designed guided imagery techniques, not unlike the ones used by athletes, to this end. The goal of these practices is to teach cardiac patients the ability to control blood flow in order to minimize dangerous complications which can occur during surgery. What separates Scherwitzs approach from the mainstream is that he also teaches the techniques to the family members of the patient. Prior to the surgery, the family takes a walk in order to collectivize and unify their intentions. Then, while the patient is asleep on the operating table, the family works with the therapist practicing the guided imagery in which they visualize minimal bleeding, a steady heart rate and a steady hand on the part of the surgeon. They end the session with what is called end-result imagery in which the patient awakens easily, experiencing comfort and is in an alert state. These practices, according to Scherwitz, are adaptable to all types of surgery. The NIH has issued a grant to study healing at a distance. Changing the Way that We Look At Things Another important effect to consider is the Hawthorne effect. The Hawthorne effect comes from the discipline of field research and it teaches us about the observer effect. It is a well-established principle that when research subjects know they are being observed, their behavior changes. The field of quantum mechanics teaches us the same exact principle. The lesson to be drawn here is that we, as individuals and as a collective whole of humanity, can change the way we look at things, the things we look at will change. What I am saying here is that when we realize that we gifted by our creator with undeniable talents and subsequently employ these talents to positively impact our environment. our collective faith can move mountains. The implications for the spiritual war that we currently engaged in, should be apparent. Whenever, two or more like-minded people are gathered in His name, there is no limit to the power that we have at our disposal. Putting the Principles to Work The first thing that every American should do is to turn off your television and free your mind to be able to accept the realities of the times we live in. Become a disciple for the truth. Seek the truth and spread the truth. There is plenty room for millions more the join the alternative media with message of hope and power. Do not shop at Walmart, Kmart or any of the other slavemarts. Do not feed the evil corporate beast that is poisoning our planet. Put your gun away and keep your pitchfork in the closet, simply let the evil die on the vine by ignoring it. Commit daily acts of kindness. Love is the death of hate. Kindness erases persecution. Pay it forward and enjoy your serotonin high in the process. Realize that the world does not a need a Gandhi, a Martin Luther King nor a Mother Teresa, the world needs millions of Gandhis, Martin Luther Kings and Mother Teresas. We are all Gods reformers. This fact alone could crush anything the globalists could mount against us. Not in our house, not on our planet, should become our refrain. Find your niche; your God-given talents and, subsequently, give these gifts back to the world in the spirit of love. We are all soldiers engaged in the fight against evil. Finally, pray and pray often, as this is our ultimate weapon. The power of collective prayer knows no limitations, it is waiting there for us to claim.

2	Michelle Obama Invites Muslim Refugee To Sit With Her At State Of The Union According to recent reports, First Lady Michelle Obama has just invited a Syrian refugee to watch the State of the Union address from the visitor box. Refaai Hamo of Troy, Michigan is reportedly being brought in by the administration in an attempt to exemplify the plight of refugees. Obamas proposal for refugees has been the source of controversy among Americans for months now, with many believing that he is putting the safety of our citizens at risk. The White House claims that Hamo is an example of what refugees are facing, arguing that a missile tore through the complex where he and his family lived in Syria. Seven of his family members were killed in the blast. He arrived with his three daughters and son in December, and will soon be sitting among governors and veterans in the box What do you think? Are you tired of Obama pushing his agenda on the American people? 
1	As he neared completion this week on his latest novel, By The Water's Edge, author Edward Milligan marveled aloud to reporters how he was able to flesh out, in meticulous detail, every single corner of his book's vast and stunningly shitty world. According to Milligan, he spent seven months conducting in-depth historical research in order to conjure, as if out of thin air, the fictional and entirely bullshit universe of Connor's Cove, Massachusetts, including its utterly uninspired lighthouse, the predictably dark underbelly lurking beneath its quaint exterior, and its painfully trite main thoroughfare known as Chance Street. 'As an author, my job is to use my gift for detail to construct a sense of place so real that readers will almost feel as though they can step inside of it and walk around,' said Milligan, who spent weeks mapping out the entire genealogy of the fictional founders of Connor's Cove, from their completely uninteresting origins all the way to their somehow even more mind-numbingly dull present-day progeny. 'Every shop, every house, every inhabitant has a function within this little microcosm I've dreamed up.' 'I believe that, by immersing themselves fully in the story, readers will actually become a part of Connor's Cove, in a sense,' the author added incorrectly. Having reportedly lived along the Massachusetts coast for more than two decades, Milligan drew heavily from only the most hackneyed and obvious aspects of maritime culture to depict life on the harbor, even going so far as to thoroughly research New England dialects in order to authentically craft the grating and unbearable phonetic renderings of speech he uses for all the book's terrible dialogue. Milligan also said his novel's tedious descriptions of local flora and fauna, needlessly complex and yet childishly rendered sociopolitical context, and embarrassingly obvious parallels to major events in American history were all necessary to help lend his utterly garbage story a real and lived-in sense of verisimilitude. 'By carefully thinking through every detail, I made Connor's Cove feel like an organic extension of reality,' said Milligan, unaware that his overwrought, tiresome backstories on each and every dilapidated lobster boat in the harbor and countless other minutiae added nothing to his flimsy, hard-to-follow story arc. 'In such a vital world, you don't simply read about a village, you smell its salt air and feel all of its joys and all of its struggles.' When he wasn't blatantly wasting his time detailing the architecture of the Town Hall building or supplying dozens of fictional bridges and creeks with names that sound as if they were invented by a high school English student, Milligan was focusing his energies on crafting a diverse social stratum of characters so nondescript and stripped of anything resembling actual humanity that they might as well be lampposts. 'Each resident of Connor's Cove is such a unique and complex individual, with his or her own rich family ancestry going back centuries,' said Milligan, who relied on a host of sad literary crutches to differentiate his bland characters from one another, including limps, horrendous signature phrases, and in one agonizing instance, an eye patch. 'In fact, they surprise even me. I never know what they're going to do next.' 'Lionel [King] would have to be my favorite [character],' he added, describing the two- dimensional protagonist who is clearly based on Milligan himself and whose insipid ruminations provide a dull glimpse into the author's own banal, self-important existence. 'He's so multifaceted. But then again, all my characters are like little worlds unto themselves.' Claiming he was genuinely proud of his ham-handed effort, the apparently shameless Milligan then expounded on the fact that he was 'really going to miss' Connor's Cove once the book was completed, and even somehow had the fucking balls to say that it had been a 'pretty magical place to spend the last few years.' 'Connor's Cove is such a fascinating world, and there's still so much left to reveal,' said the author, who, at press time, had not yet been punched in the face. 'Thankfully, I'll be going back there soon, and readers can look forward to four more riveting tales in the Connor's Cove series.' 
1	The American Council of College Administrators (ACCA) met Monday to discuss an emergency ban on the Bob Marley greatest-hits compilation Legend. 'The situation grows more severe by the day,' University of Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman told her fellow administrators. 'At any given moment in Ann Arbor, it's impossible to walk down any street where there is undergraduate housing without hearing 'Get Up Stand Up' coming from five different porches.' The ban would be the ACCA's first since a 1993 act restricting access to The Beastie Boys' Check Your Head. 
3	Scientific Proof of a Potential Alternative Energy Source Dates Back 25,000 YearsNew Era Times Presents Free Webinar Oct. 8th Radiocarbon dating that proves the Bosnian Pyramid Complex dates back at least 25,000 years has been revealed by an international team of scientists led byDr. Sam Osmanagich. Discovered in 2005, the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun Archaeological Park, which houses the largest pyramid in the world, is now the most active archaeological site on the planet. The teams findings also reveal an energy beam, 13 feet in radius that transmits an unexplainable electromagnetic signal measuring 28 kilohertz coming from the center of the Pyramid of the Sun.This phenomenon has been independently confirmed by physicist Dr. Slobodan Mizdrak, Ph.D. from Croatia, professor Paolo Debertolis, anthropologist from University of Trieste in Italy, sound engineer Heikki Savolainen from Finland and electrical engineer Goran Marjanovic from Serbia. The energy beam is theorized by Dr. Osmanagich as the reason the pyramids were built; to provide ancient civilizations a powerful source of clean energy. This is already a widely supported theory set forth by the book The Giza Power Plantby Christopher Dunn published in 1998. The Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun is 30% larger than the largest pyramid at Giza and recent excavation has uncovered an extensive pre-historical underground labyrinth system, further evidence supporting the power plant theory. Is it possible that the fossil fuel based energy system we now rely on could have been prevented if inventor Nikola Teslas work on free energy hadnt been suppressed? Teslas (1856-1943) patented free energy methods were rejected due to their inability to be metered and monetized. We urgently need to change our mistaken point of view that our ancestors were stupid and accept that they had an advanced understanding of the fabric of nature and the universe, just like Nikola Tesla, whose ideas were suppressed as they did not and do not fit in the reigning economic model, states Phillip Coppens, author and investigative journalist. The pyramids are proof that our ancestors knew and worked with an energy technology that we are now finally able to measure, but are still short of fully understanding. The method commonly used to record dates of artifacts and structures is radiocarbon dating which can accurately record dates back 58,000 years. It was pioneered in 1949 at the University of Chicago by William Libby who has since been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work. Italian archaeologists Dr. Ricarrdo Brett and Niccolo Bisconti discovered an organic material on the top of the concrete blocks that cover the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun. Carbon dating was performed in the Lab in Kiev, Ukraine with astonishing results: 24,800 years +/- 200 years which gives the minimum age of the pyramid structure. Overwhelming evidence, supported by scientific research from all over the archaeological community proves that our recorded history is wrong concerning ancient cultures which in turn changes religion, science and academics. The pyramid structures that were built in Bosnia and across the globe over 10,000 years ago cannot be duplicated by modern science and machinery in the 21st century and there is no explanation for who could have built them in our recorded history. We realize that this site changes our knowledge of history and as such the findings will need to withstand harsh scrutiny. Our inter-disciplinary scientific team carefully utilizes legitimate scientific research methodology, often having tests done from two or more separate laboratories, explained Dr. Osmanagich, PhD. Despite some initial skepticism, we now have a world-wide team of hundreds of thought leaders from numerous scientific disciplines including archaeologists, geophysicists, chemical engineers, physicists, electrical engineers, and mathematicians gathering scientific evidence to find the answers. The reason the Bosnian Archaelogical Park is so active is that unlike the Egyptian Pyramids and Dr. Zahi Hawass team, where access to information was carefully guarded, this sites policy is open and inviting. We want to share our findings in order to bring out the truth about history and knowledge of clean energy, explains Osmanagich. About the Webinar The New Era Times will present a free 3 Day Webinarconcluding October 8th at 7pmwhere Pyramids Around the World will be showcased by Dr. Sam Osmanagich as well as the latest findings of the Bosnian Pyramid Archeological site. Dr. Sam will discuss how pyramids have now been found on every continent on Earth and provebeyond a shadow of a doubtthat pyramids were built by ancient civilizations with far greater technology than we now possess and that they were used to produce energy. The placement of the tens of thousands of pyramids around the globe on the earths energy grid, aligned with the universal energy field is a lost science that is now being rediscovered. This science can only be explained when we reexamine much of what we have been taught about history and open our minds to unfold the truth. Dr. Osmanagich will also be giving a free lecture open to the public on Oct 7, 2012 at 2pm at the Hilton Southwest in Houston, Texas.

2	BREAKING: Obama Declares Texas Hostile Territory So Famous Texans Do THIS Jade Helm 15 has been making headlines for weeks now, and stirring controversy between the liberal media and patriots who fear that they are only being told part of the story. Originally, the exercise was outlined to involve Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Army Special Forces and several other operations units, which the Pentagon promised would be kept discreet from the public. Suspicions started to rise after Texas was labeled a hostile state for the exercise, and military equipment began shipping in to the state in broad daylight. Texas Governor Greg Abbott was one of several leaders to voice their concerns about Jade Helm and its potential to cross lines into marital law. Ive ordered the Texas State Guard to monitor Jade Helm 15 to safeguard Texans constitutional rights, private property, and civil liberties, Abbott announced in a controversial letter, which immediately received media backlash. Perhaps one of the only people to defend Abbott was Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who commented, When you see a federal government that is attacking our free speech rights, our religious liberty rights, our Second Amendment rights, that produces distrust as a government. Abbott also received support from Texas Representative Louis Gohmert, who said he understood the concerns, and claimed that the tone of the exercise needs to be completely revamped so that the federal government is not intentionally practicing war against its own states. Also weighing in was martial arts celebrity Chuck Norris, who offered up this gem: I have an idea: If the government insists on running expanded military ops across seven Southwest states, why doesnt it move all that military training south and protect our borders at the same time? What do you think? Do you believe concerns about Jade Helm 15 are valid? 
1	The Robert Mapplethorpe Childrens Museum officially opened its doors to the public Tuesday, drawing over 1,000 visitors with its interactive exhibits and youth-oriented activities aimed at making the photographers signature nude, explicit art more fun and accessible for younger generations. Located in a converted warehouse where the late artist reportedly shot several photographs of his infamous sadomasochistic X Portfolio in 1978, the brightly colored, 200,000-square-foot facility contains more than 60 hands-on installations. Each of the museums exhibitswhich include dozens of pieces of textured, touchable erotic artwork, male and female genitalia silk-screening stations, and a working BDSM dungeonare designed for children ages 3 and up. Robert always wanted his work to affect the broadest possible audience, and by introducing children to the wonders of the human form and hardcore homoeroticism at a young age, we hope to instill a lifelong appreciation for his art, said head curator Eileen Greco, dressed in the standard leather bondage harness worn by all Mapplethorpe Childrens Museum guides. This museum is a celebration of everything Robert lovedfrom muscular male thighs to nylon cords wrapped tightly around ones own scrotumand our interactive exhibits make it fun for even the youngest child to explore and enjoy these themes. Our live stage recreations of classic Mapplethorpe pieces are sure to appeal to teens and adults, while younger kids just love our two-story vulva slide, Greco continued. Theres really something here for children of all ages. Greco hailed the grand opening event as a success, noting that the sound of children laughing and playing could be heard throughout the day, from the museums Penetration Wing to the Hall Of Pubic Hair. Indeed, many young visitors appeared visibly delighted upon simply entering the buildings spacious atrium, which houses a climbable 20-foot-tall erect penis that employees said was thronged with small children until closing. Additionally, sources noted that many patrons waited in line for 40 minutes for a chance to meet the museums mascot, Leather Daddy, a large costumed character who poses for pictures with children and allows them to playfully yank on his slave leash. The great thing is that these kids are receiving an education about art and photographic composition, but theyre just having so much fun putting each other in wrist and ankle restraints or inserting their forearms up a replica human anus that they dont even realize theyre learning, said third-grade teacher Lynnette Fuller, one of a number of educators who have brought their students to the museum as a field trip. Each one of the domination fetish exhibits really engages and stimulates students imaginations. It was hard to pull them away from one lickable silicone installation and move on to the next, Fuller added. According to employees, the museums most popular attraction is the Coprophagia Activity Center. The walk-through exhibit, in which patrons travel down tunnels of spread-eagle nude figures, create virtual representations of fecal matter on interactive touch screens, and ride a firemans pole into a mouth-shaped ball pit, was reportedly funded with a $40 million grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. In addition to three floors of images and hands-on displays, the museum also boasts an IMAX theater, which reportedly screens the 3D film Uncircumcised every 90 minutes. I have to say, my favorite attraction was the life-sized recreation of Mr. Mapplethorpes 1979 piece Dominick and Elliot, which had cutouts that me and the kids could stick our heads through, said father of two David Whitson of Stamford, CT, referring to an image in which one man clutches a second mans testicles, the latter bound and suspended upside down. We all really got a kick out of that. The facility is reportedly set to complement its indoor attractions by opening a large courtyard on Memorial Day. According to Mapplethorpe Childrens Museum administrators, the outdoor space will feature a prominent centerpiece fountain in the shape of a shirtless man in a bondage hood and skintight leather pants who will urinate a constant stream of water that children can cool off and splash around in. Speaking with reporters as they exited the museum Tuesday, young visitors were near unanimous in their praise for the facility and the activities it offered. They had all sorts of cool outfits to dress up in and fun things to play with, said 9-year-old Dylan Titus as he held up a black-and-white photograph of himself wearing a studded codpiece and a boa constrictor over his shoulders, which was taken at the museums Mapplethorpe Juniors Photo Booth. I got to play with a real bullwhip, too. It was so much fun. I love it here, added the child, sporting a newly purchased T-shirt bearing the museums logo of a naked black man in the fetal position. I cant wait to come back! 
2	Tim Tebows New Picture Is Pissing Off Muslims Around The World Timothy Richard Tim Tebow has always been better known for his Religious beliefs than his Quarterback career in the NFL. The Quarterback has made headlines in the past during games, what most people will recall the tebow pose which consists of Tebow kneeling on one knee putting his hand on his head and praying on the side lines, is also now seen wearing Bible verses on his eye-blacks. This is causing debatable controversies because Muslims and Atheists find it offensive. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV) Mark 8:36 what good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? (NIV) Tim Tebow, now a free agent is also back on the news leading everyone in prayer this past Saturday on the SEC network from Gainesville, Florida. Nor money or fame will distract Tebow from his faith, as he carries his beliefs strongly.

THIS Happened Next Recently, a local Fox affiliate in Memphis reported on a remarkable story about the heroic efforts of a paramedic who managed, after 30 minutes of delay, to get a child a safely to the care they needed. The child was on the way to receive care when they ran into traffic from the Memphis Black Lives Matter rally, which had shut down the I-40 bridge on Sunday night. Protesters blocked the area and refused to leave, stopping traffic. Paramedic Bobby Harrell with Crittenden EMS did not let this stop him. He was determined to get to a child who was stuck on the bridge with his family. We received a call there was a child needing medical attention stuck in traffic up on the bridge and due to the protest going on the bridge the family was not able to get through traffic to get him to Le Bonheur, Harrell told reporters. The sheriffs department had to escort us up the wrong way of the interstate to the child. After Harrell had successfully loaded the child in the ambulance, he had to take a 25-minute detour. We had to turn around and come back to West Memphis and cross over at MLK to get over to 55, he recalled. We cannot ignore the danger that these protests are causing. Were grateful this story turned out the way it did. 
2	Secret Service Issues Warning To Americans About Obama According to recent reports, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino is speaking out in an effort to reveal Obamas true colors when it comes to his love for power. The president has abdicated his duty to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, especially where illegal immigration is concerned, Bongino said. He was with the Secret Service for 12 years and even ran for Congress in Maryland. According to Bongino, he walked away from his long-standing position because the president had stopped acting in the best interest of the American people. According to Bongino, the border crisis is the most insecure situation you could possibly imagine Were not escorting these people out, were escorting them into the country. What do you think? Are Bonginos comments surprising?

3	Court Protects IRS TyrannySARTRE A federal judge in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia entered an order dismissing a lawsuit filed by True the Vote, a Houston, Texas-based non-profit organization focused on voters rights and election integrity against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The order alleged that the IRS had improperly delayed granting their application for 501(c)(3) status and targeted them as a conservative organization. The opinion, by Judge Reggie B. Walton, found that the IRS had taken sufficient remedial steps to address the alleged behavior. From the ruling by Judge Walton, analysis: The defendants contend that the Court does not have subject-matter jurisdiction over counts one, two, and five of the plaintiffs complaint because the IRS ultimately approved the plaintiffs application for tax-exempt status, and thus counts one, two, and fiveall of which seek to correct [the] alleged targeting [of the IRS] and delay during its application process for tax-exempt statusare now moot as there is no longer any case or controversy for the Court to resolve. How nice that the IRS can slip out of a sticky wicket by simply retroactively approving a 501(c)(3) application that they officiated with a touch of harassment and a sprinkle of intimidation. The reasoning used by Judge Walton to protect the IRS from a voluntary cessation exception follows: The rationale supporting the defendants voluntary cessation as an exception to mootness is that, while the defendants unilateral cessation of the challenged conduct may grant the plaintiff relief, the defendant is free to return to its old waysthereby subjecting the plaintiff to the same harm but, at the same time, avoiding judicial review. Accordingly, a case can be mooted by virtue of the defendants cessation of its allegedly illegal conduct only if (1) there is no reasonable expectation that the conduct will recur and (2) interim relief or events have completely and irrevocably eradicated the effects of the alleged violation. Oh praise the sacred high priests of the Internal Revenue Service for seeing the light and repenting their ways. Such a reasonable trust in the good intentions of the IRS to not only follow the law but to administer their trade under the good faith doctrine that only a judge working for the same corrupt government as do the Lois Lerner brigade of bureaucrats, would profess. An important USA Today article, from hardly an antigovernment publication, IRS list reveals concerns over Tea Party propaganda, furnishes the evidence. Newly uncovered IRS documents show the agency flagged political groups based on the content of their literature, raising concerns specifically about anti-Obama rhetoric, inflammatory language and emotional statements made by non-profits seeking tax-exempt status. The internal 2011 documents, obtained by USA TODAY, list 162 groups by name, with comments by Internal Revenue Service lawyers in Washington raising issues about their political, lobbying and advocacy activities. In 21 cases, those activities were characterized as propaganda. The list provides the most specific public accounting to date of which groups were targeted for extra scrutiny and why. The IRS has not publicly identified the groups, repeatedly citing a provision of the tax code prohibiting it from releasing tax return information. The supporting items Document: IRS political advocacy cases list, while the pattern of selective favoritism is authenticated in the report, IRS approved liberal groups while Tea Party in limbo. For a more cutting-edge analysis from Twitchy US politics on the insanity from the Loony Left, just absorb the rhetoric and ask, who the real totalitarians are in society and even worse in government. Outrage: Court acknowledges that IRS targeted True the Vote, dismisses lawsuit anyway explains. Voters rights group True the Vote , a nonprofit founded to inspire and equip voters for involvement at every stage of our electoral process, has had a hard time of it. As the 2012 election approached, Cher of all people referred to True the Vote as a bunch of Tea Party Nazis and animals. Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, who sits on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, informed True the Vote founder and president Catherine Engelbrecht that he would be launching an investigation into her organization. < The Court today correctly acknowledged that the IRS targeted True the Vote because of its perceived political beliefs. Such conduct is reprehensible and should never be acceptable in a free society. Despite this critical finding, we are stunned and disappointed in the courts ruling which nevertheless dismisses our case. We will be evaluating our legal options and will announce our intent in that regard soon. Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots reaction to the DC Court Decision on IRS Unconscionable. The Courts decision not to sanction either the IRS or the individual agents because it and they had taken remedial measures is unconscionable. Supporting this conclusion are Top 9 Quotes on the IRS Targeting of Tea Party Groups. 1. Not even a smidgen of corruption. President Barack Obama to Fox News Bill OReilly February, 2014 2. Decline to answer that question. Lois Lerner, pleading the Fifth Amendment before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, March 5, 2014 3. The IRS used inappropriate criteria that identified for review Tea Party and other organizations applying for tax-exempt status based upon their names or policy positions instead of indications of potential political campaign intervention. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration Audit 4. Instead of referring to the cases as advocacy cases, they actually used case names on this list. They [Determinations Unit in Cincinnati, Ohio] used names like Tea Party or Patriots and they selected cases simply because the applications had those names in the title. That was wrong, that was absolutely incorrect, insensitive, and inappropriate. Lois Lerner 5. Even after admitting that it had targeted groups, and a TIGTA [Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration] report detailed the abuses, the IRS did not let up. In August 2013, the IRS requested yet more documents and information. It asked us to provide, for example, all fundraising communications for the 60 days before the November 6, 2012 election, and all materials that we used in various Get Out the Vote activities. That request made no sense under the current standards for evaluating non-profit applications. The regulations proposed three months later, however, explain the requests, as they include specific provisions classifying any mention of a candidates name within 60 days of an election and get-out-the-vote efforts as taxable political activity. Jenny Beth Martin in testimony to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, February 27, 2014 6. The Internal Revenue Service says acting IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller was first informed in May 2012 that tea party groups were inappropriately targeted for scrutiny. Hot Air, May 13, 2013 7. The IRS inspector general said this week that while some liberal groups were given extra scrutiny by the tax agency, they were not subjected to the same invasive queries as tea party groups a finding that seems to confirm political bias was at play. The Washington Times, June 27, 2013 8. When the IRS revelations broke, Obama promised a full investigation. Yet Cleta Mitchell, an attorney for a number of tea party and conservative groups targeted by the IRS, testified, None of my clients have received a single contact from the FBI, the DOJ [Department of Justice] or any other investigator regarding the IRS scandal. The Chicago Sun-Times, February 10, 2014 9. More than 400,000 documents have been turned over to Congress, only a fraction of which have been publicly released under the Freedom of Information Act. Republicans say theyre still missing key documents including the e-mails of former IRS Exempt Organizations Director Lois Lerner. USA Today, February 26, 2014 But remember, President Obama assures us theres not a smidgen of corruption! No matter your political leanings, every American should be concerned when the courts condone abusive and arbitrary administration in any agency. Allowing the IRS to retroactively cover their rear, while turning a blind eye to systemic illicit practices, is just part of the game plan that permits the court to make up law, which favors government tyranny. The True the Vote decision is insulting and only goes to prove that reforms through the election process are truly the moot option.

3	Shocking Report: Over 5,300 U.S. Water Systems are in Violation of the Law Poisoning MillionsBy Claire Bernish Flint apparently marked the tip of a nefarious iceberg, and lead isnt the only contaminant polluting drinking water for millions in the United States. Imagine a cop sitting, watching people run stop signs, and speed at 90 miles per hour in small communities and still doing absolutely nothing about it knowing the people who are violating the law. And doing nothing, illustrated Erik Olsen, health program director at the Natural Resources Defense Council, which analyzed EPA data for the report. Thats unfortunately what we have now. According to the NRDCs scathing report, Whats In Your Water? Flint and Beyond, lead contamination in Flint the subject of national outrage and scandal is not anomalous. In fact, 5,363 water systems in the U.S. in 2015 violated the federal Lead and Copper Rule putting around 18 million people at risk of consuming those contaminants and virtually none of those responsible faced any penalties, much less criminal charges. For more than a year, government officials callously downplayed or ignored Flints toxic water and the majority-black communitys cries for help, the report asserts. Federal EPA, state, and state-appointed local environmental officials belittled and refused to listen to Flint residents and their advocates. Startlingly, Flint was not listed among the communities with lead-tainted water despite ongoing contention, scandal, and controversy, a responsibility of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality itself directly involved in the scandal. In addition to an acerbic critique of the Flint water crisis blamed partially on inadequate guidelines and regulatory rules the NRDC study found over 1,000 community water utilities exceeded actionable lead levels set forth by the EPA. According to the report: These violations included failures to properly test the water for lead or conditions that could result in lead contamination, failures to report contamination to state officials or the public, and failures to treat the water appropriately to reduce corrosion. Some 3.9 million people were subjected to the water with levels above 15 parts per billion (ppb) at least 10 percent of homes tested in 1,110 community supplies. Rather alarmingly, the true extent of the contamination of water supplies in the U.S. might not be fully understood. According to the NRDC, underreporting an issue known to the EPA is endemic for several reasons. Improper monitoring, using testing methods or strategies that avoid detecting contamination, prevents violations from being accurately recorded or reported, while incorrect documentation and simple failures in reporting violations to the EPA for its database are all common. As in the case of Flint, these failings around the country may hide serious health threats. The report continues: NRDC has documented underreporting problems in the EPAs drinking water database for 25 years; the EPA itself admits that audits and assessments have shown that violation data are substantially incomplete. Despite the astronomical number of violations and public at risk because of them lack of enforcement and penalty run rampant. [A]ccording to the EPAs data, states and the EPA took formal enforcement action against just 11.2 percent of the over 8,000 violations that occurred in 2015 leaving 88.8 percent free from any formal enforcement action. Formal enforcement actions were taken against less than one in five health-based violations (17.6 percent). Furthermore, penalties were sought or assessed for only a tiny fraction (3 percent) of violations. To resolve or alleviate the issue of widespread contamination, NRDC recommends significant investment in water infrastructure nationwide, including the replacement of over 6 million lead service lines, replacing aging or decaying portions of distribution systems, and improvements at treatment plants. Further recommendations include necessary clarification and updating of regulations and rules surrounding acceptable levels of various contaminants, including the go-to but oft-violated EPA Lead and Copper Rule. While Flint marked a departure from the norm, or an outright shift in roles, with dedicated citizens and scientists committed to exposing lead contamination, the report notes, but, We cannot expect such an unlikely set of watchdogs to emerge in the face of every lead crisis. Indeed, NRDC cautioned, As long as we have this culture of hiding violations and attacking staff members who do their jobs, more Flints can be expected. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Is it the infrastructure that is causing the contamination or is it in the water itself fromTake your pick, chem trails, fracking, air pollution, industrial contaminents Chem trails really you have no credibility when you throw that into the mix. Tell me about fracking too. The foundation of the Egyptian Mysteries was based on the knowledge of those who instituted the Mysteries. They taught that the Soul had originally existed in a pure, sinless state, that it then fell from its original purity and innocence, and gravitated from the form of a spiritual essence into a material body. Realizing its reduced status, its chief concern, the aim and scope of all earthly creatures (man), was to pass through successive states of experiences sufferings and joys purifications and exaltations back to the original fellowship with Deity. No one religion is either better or more Divine than the other, except in the degree that it teaches purity of life, devotion to duty, faith in humanity, love for ones fellow man, helpfulness to one another and commands man to search for his own Soul WITHIN HIMSELF. And people think Im strange because I carry my own distilled water around in a stainless steel thermos. this is not about religions, this about abuse of the state against its people, and yes we know who is doing it, all the companies like Monsanto big pharma you name it, but it is the government that implements it, the elite families of the Rothschilds and the Rockerfellers who fund the president are they untouchable they are not beyond the law,` they should be brought to book for all their crimes against humanity, they maybe part of the ZIONIST KHAZARIAN MAFIA, but it is time to pay the piper. Hows that whole greatest country in the world thing workin out for ya? Hmmm? Uh oh You just committed a cardinal sin! You jumped out and disagreed with the herd! I hate it when that happens. Phukin awesome!!! Amurika! Amurika! :stops to adjust blinders: Amurika! Amurika! Man! Aint that livin!!! hahaha.NRDC is just another government lackie spreading propaganda and fear. Even the author failed to establish relevance by not publishing any water concentrations, mean values, min and max, etc. More fear mongering to get the sheep in order for the next shearing. Theyll be asking you to pay out the ying yang soon to refurbish the entire system, even though you thought you had been paying for it all the while. Expect the utility industry to enhance their profits. They will be turning up the heat on your bills to supposedly pay for infrastructure repair. Of course, they only wish to enrich themselves (CEOs, bondholders, etc) at your expense and stupidity. Kill the waste in military spending and no more foreign aid until things are up to snuff back home. The whole infrastructure is falling apart and its not much better up here in Canada. We all have to hold our governments much more accountable for the money they waste/spend like theres no tomorrow. Tomorrow is here and its not looking good. I have long thought that the water supply folks should offer a filter at the house side. So how can water in our towns keep passing the tests by state regulators? I would never trust any government entity to be honest with the results, especially with lead levels that are being found around the States. Getting your water tested independent of what the government does is vital to the health of our families. Back when I was plumbing we sent new water well samples to a company called ALS, I believe. It was a long time ago but I think it was around 50-100 bucks, which isnt too bad. I am sure that with the crap going on right now it wouldnt be hard to find someone that can test your water. Take the results and compare them against the regulators results to see how they compare. 
1	According to a report released Monday by the Center For The Study Of Human-Morality-Legislation Attempts, the passage of anti-racism laws in recent decades may have caused racism to mutate into newer, stronger forms, undermining federal efforts to control the spread of the disease by spawning new strains of 'super-racism' impervious to traditional treatment methods. 'Despite the noble efforts of a generation of dedicated government officials in the executive and judicial branches who have devoted their lives to finding a cure for racism, it appears that many of the legal procedures intended to eradicate the disease may be doing more long-term harm than good,' said Richard Jackson, CSHMLA director and one of the principal authors of the controversial study. 'Our research has found that, in the presence of anti-racist legislative agents, certain strains of racism respond by developing powerful immunities, transforming into even more virulent forms of hatred.' Richard Jackson, director of the Center For The Study Of Human-Morality-Legislation Attempts. These new mutant strains, the report read, breed more aggressively than ordinary racism, proliferating rapidly in powerful, highly infectious cultures that are often difficult or impossible for anti-racist legislation to detect. Further, because these new strains adapt quickly to legislative antibodies, they become stronger the more they are attacked, absorbing the anti-racist measures into their own ideological make-up and putting neighboring social-cell structures at greater risk of infection. 'These mutant forms have learned to mask themselves under pseudo-tolerant guises that existing anti-racism laws cannot detect, attaching themselves to normal, non-infected societal tissue in order to appear benign,' Jackson said. 'Soon, however, they begin to steadily spread, causing healthy bodies to decay from within and converting the host culture to their own insidious agenda.' Though there is much debate over the effectiveness of anti-racist legislation, most experts agree that such treatment methods have shown results in the past. Racism, once a widespread irritant throughout the various organs of society, seems to have gone into remission in recent years. Red, inflamed outbursts of hate speech have become less common and been eradicated almost entirely in some social systems. All-white institutions have become largely a thing of the past, and at least some measure of diversity has been adopted by most of the idea-circulatory system, creating a widespread impression of overall sociological health. Yet the CSHMLA report suggests that these victories may be largely illusory. According to the report, by attacking only the symptoms of racism and not its economic and social causes, legislative efforts to vaccinate the populace against racism may have accelerated rather than halted the spread of the disease. 
2	Liberals Want Lawsuit For Texas Gun Instructor Who Refuses To Teach Muslims Recently, Crockett Keller, a state-certified gun safety instructor in Texas, made headlines after telling the public that he will not teach Muslims or liberals. If you are a non-Christian Arab or Muslim, I will not teach you the class with no shame, Keller claims in a controversial new radio advertisement playing in Texas, where Keller owns a gun store. If you are a socialist liberal and or voted for the current campaigner in chief, please do not take this class. You have already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as under the law. I consider all Muslims our enemies, no matter how nice they are, Kelly told reporters. I would give up my license before I teach them. Now, Kellers claims are raising questions about whether it is lawful to determine who can be taught to use a concealed weapon or not. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Kellers claims put his certification at risk of suspension or revocation. Still, formal action would need to be taken before Keller was punished. What do you think? Do you agree with Kellers comments? 
1	At an age when most boys are going to Little League practice and playing video games with their friends, spunky Congressional whiz kid Paul Ryan, 14, has issued a comprehensive proposal to balance the federal budget, impressed Washington sources told reporters Thursday. When I was 14 years old, all I was thinking about was having enough allowance money to buy comic books, but this little teen dynamo is actually trying to rein in annual spending and eliminate the deficit, Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) said of the perky, high-school-age wonder boy, whose budget reform plan seeks to reduce government spending by $4.6 trillion by 2023 through a long-term fiscal policy that includes deep cuts to food stamps and other entitlement programs. He comes in here every day in his little two-piece suit, with his snazzy haircut that it looks like his mom gave him, and you just have to admire the kid. Heck, hes still three years away from applying for college, for Gods sake! I imagine hes not too popular with the other kids his age, but Im sure hes used to that by now. Despite their enthusiasm for the teen whiz kids pluck and hard work, Congressional sources were quick to note that Ryans budget plan made absolutely no sense. 
3	Common Core Nationalizes and Dumbs Down Public School CurriculumDr. Ron Paul Sadly, but not surprisingly, instead of improving education by repealing No Child Left Behinds testing and other mandates, the Obama administration is increasing national control over schools via the Common Core initiative. Common Core is a new curriculum developed by a panel of so-called education experts. The administration is trying to turn Common Core into a national curriculum by offering states increased federal education funding if they impose Common Cores curriculum on their public schools. This is yet another example of the government using money stolen from the people to bribe states into obeying federal dictates. Critics of Common Core say it dumbs down education by replacing traditional English literature with informational texts. So students will read such inspiring materials as studies by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the EPAs Recommended Levels of Insulation, and Invasive Plant Inventory by Californias Invasive Plant Council. It is doubtful that reading federal reports will teach students the habits of critical thinking and skepticism of government that the Founders considered essential to maintaining a free republic. Parents can also effectively opt out of programs like Common Core by seeking alternatives to government education. It is no coincidence that, as federal control over education increases, the quality of public education has declined and more parents have chosen to homeschool. To support these parents, I have established my own homeschool curriculum. Unlike Common Core, we do not dumb down any of our offerings. Instead, the goal is to provide students with a rigorous education in history, math, English, foreign languages, and other core subjects necessary to a well-rounded education. Unlike the top-down model of nationalized education, the homeschool curriculum is deigned to encourage maximum input from parents and students. While the curriculum will reflect my belief, and interest, in Austrian economics, libertarian political theory, and the history of the struggle against state power, the curriculum is being carefully designed to not show bias toward any one religion. I hope all parents of any faithor no religious belief at allwill feel comfortable using the curriculum. I believe it is important for those of us concerned with education and liberty to fight our battles locally. We must oppose further encroachment on the autonomy of local public schools and work to roll-back existing interference, while encouraging and supporting the growth of homeschooling and other alternative education movements. The key to restoring quality education is to replace the bureaucratic control of education with a free-market in education. Parents should have the freedom to select the type of education that best suits their childs unique needs.

2	BREAKING: Member Of Obama Family Facing Jail Time.... According to recent reports, 36-year-old George Obama, who is in fact related to the President, has been held in the Repphannock Regional Facility in Stafford, VA for months now. As a Kenyan citizen, he has been illegally living in the United States since 1997. George claims that if he is deported to Kenya, he will become a high-profile target for al Shabaab, a Somali terrorist organization. He cites his relation to the President as the source for this, as the terror group s leader Ahmed Abi Godane was assassinated by a U.S. operated drone in September. George is currently married to an American citizen with whom he has a child, but also has negative equities on his record which disqualify him from receiving asylum. Among other issues, George has been caught driving drunk. What do you think? Should the media have reported on this earlier? 
1	Denali National Park ranger Steve Griggs confirmed that a grizzly bear suffered a mild sprain when it mauled a hunter Wednesday, the 400-pound animal awkwardly twisting its paw while crushing the man's skull. 'Looks like he slipped on some flesh he was tearing off and just came down on it wrong,' said Griggs, adding that the bear also appeared to have strained its neck as it tossed the man's torso back and forth in its mouth. 'It's a slight sprain. Doesn't look broken. The paw is a little tender, but he'll be all right as long as he doesn't put too much weight on it, rests up, and keeps it under a cool stream to reduce swelling.' Griggs confirmed that the bear should have no problem catching salmon but may limp for a week or so. 
2	Woman Who Ran Obama Care Defects, REVEALS Obamas Sick Next Step According to reports, Marilyn Tavenner, the woman who ran Obamacare during her tenure as the administrator for the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services, claimed that health care customers could be in for a huge sticker shock come 2017. Tavenner played a pivotal role in implementing the failed program. Ive been asked, what are the premiums going to look like, Tavenner, who now works as a spokeswoman for insurers, claimed during an interview. I dont know, because it also varies by state, market, even within markets. But I think the overall trend is going to be higher than we saw previous years, she added. Thats my big prediction. Since it first launched in 2013, Obamacare has relentlessly caused premiums, co-payments and deductibles to skyrocket. Of course, that is contrary to President Obamas promises that the law would reduce health care costs for Americans everywhere. Tavenner cites many reasons for the rates rising, including restrictions preventing insurers from denying coverage to anyone with a pre-existing condition. The problem with the exchangesis people are still kind of seeing this as, I use insurance when Im sick, but I may not need it when Im no longer sick, Tavenner commented. So they tend to churn. And that churn increases premiums. So you have to kind of price over that. Of course, despite all evidence to the contrary, President Obama continues to claim that his program is a blessing to Americans everywhere. It doesnt look good for him when the woman who used to run the program is citing it as a failure.

Hes Calling For Support From His Fans Former Miss Wisconsin Melissa Young was an outspoken Trump supporter throughout his campaigndespite the fact that she was very ill with an incurable type of cancer. This week, Sean Hannity made the tragic announcement that her health has taken a turn for the worse. Young is the mother of an 8-year-old son. She surfaced at a Trump rally in March, where she praised him publicly, despite the controversy surrounding his position on women. She had an admirable story to tell about Trump, dispelling many of the rumors circulating about him. Youve saved me in so many ways, she told Trump. In recent years, Ive been struggling with an incurable illness and Im on home care now and it was caused by a doctors medical negligence.

So abundant, in fact, that the Canadian citizenship site crashed. Now, these liberals are probably rethinking their strategyit seems that the country isnt ready to join their anti-Trump crusade. In fact, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that he will be willing to work with the newly elected president when it comes to trade. On Thursday, Trudeau announced he was willing to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreementwhich Trump has named the worst trade deal the United States has ever signed. I think its important that we be open to talking about trade deals, Trudeau, who has been a firm defender of free trade, told reporters. This is an interesting turn, given that Trump has been leaning more toward protectionist measures. One thing is certain: the support of Canada certainly wont hurt. The two nations economies are inextricably intertwined. If the Americans want to talk about NAFTA, Im more than happy to talk about it, Trudeau confirmed. The night before these statements were made, Trudeau called Trump to congratulate him on his victory. Trump is already making progress, and hes not even in the White House. Do you agree? 
1	Lost en route to Albany, GA, vacationing couple Mark and Celia Winocur of Phoenix inadvertently visited the birthplace of former president Jimmy Carter Monday. 'We got off at the wrong exit and were trying to get back on the highway when we started seeing all these signs,' Mark said. 'I figured they led back to I-95, but somehow we wound up right in front of the house where Jimmy Carter was born.'' After buying a road map at Miller's General Store, where the 39th president first learned the value of a dollar as a young boy, the Winocurs were once again on their way to their intended destination. 
2	What Kanye West Just Said About Israel Is Causing Outrage According to recent reports, Kanye West is finally apologizing for what he is deeming the ignorant compliment he made about Jewish people. In an appearance on the Chicago-based radio station B96, the rapper told hosts that he was unaware that his comments would be perceived as negative. I thought I was giving a compliment, but if anything it came off more ignorant, West said. I dont know how being told you have money is insult. Still, despite him not understanding, he claimed that he wanted to take that statement away. In case you missed it, his original comment was as follows, Let me tell you something about George Bush and oil and money, and Obama and no money. People want to say Obama cant make these moves, or hes not executing. Thats because he aint got those connections. Black people dont have the same level of connections as Jewish people. You know, we dont know nobody that got a nice house. You know we dont know nobody with paper like that, that we can go to when were down. The incident is just one of several ignorant and insulting comments directed toward the Jewish population. Just three years ago, the rapper publicly compared himself to Hitler. What do you think? Should America stop supporting Kanye? 
1	Claiming that the practice is essential for effectively recharging the body and waking fully rested and alert, doctors at Stanford University issued a report Monday emphasizing the importance of getting at least eight centuries of atomically powered cryosleep. As long as you properly organize your schedule to ensure you have enough time for eight full centuries of suspended animation, youll be able to get up in the early 29th century completely refreshed and ready to go, said Dr. Ram Krishnan, lead researcher at the universitys cryosleep lab, adding that to assure quality metarest, the ideal cryonic hibernation environment should be quiet, dark, and capable of maintaining a constant temperature of -320 degrees Fahrenheit. Its also important to avoid distractions when preparing for 800 years of hypersuspension, as they could affect the restfulness of your cryosleep. So make sure to forgo caffeine and silence your phone before replacing your blood with medical-grade antifreeze and climbing into your cryopreservation capsule. For those whose schedules limit them to only four or five centuries of uninterrupted biostasis, Dr. Krishnan recommended making up the time by taking several 100-year-long, cryonically assisted naps throughout the millennium. 
1	Counting down the minutes until she could finally kick back and relax, local woman Courtney Porter told reporters Monday that she couldnt wait to get home and take off her uncomfortable persona. I hate having to put this thing on in the morning and keep it on all day longthe second I walk through my front door, off it goes, said Porter, adding that she looked forward to being able to finally unwind once she shed the constricting personality traits she dons for work. Its irritating, it barely fits me, and I have to throw on the same one every single day. I only do it because everyone else at my office does. At press time, Porter could be seen easing into a well-worn and casual identity she would never dare leave the house in. 
2	Furious Chicago Black Protesters Call Obama The Worst President Ever Elected Recently, cameras caught residents from Chicagos south side as they voiced concerns about President Obamas focus on the well being of illegal immigrants. They feel that the president is paying more attention to the border than to the citys serious problem with violence. The video was captured during a protest outside the Chicago Police Department, where residents were calling for the resignation of Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Superintendent Garry McCarthy. According to reports, they also were failing to address the violence. Barack will go down as the worst president ever elected, Bill Clinton was the African-American President, one resident told Rebel Pundit. President Barack needs to pay attention to Chicago, if he cannot pay attention to Chicago and the African-American community, he needs to resign. One resident even took his argument to extremes, comparing the citys current treatment to that of slaves, claiming, we got the same results today. While the accusations may be extreme, the city has faced 120 shootings and nearly 26 deaths in Chicago in the month of July. What do you think of the citys claims? Watch the video below. 
2	Donald Trump Wants To Close U.S. Borders To Muslim Refugees Donald Trump has come under fire after calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States yesterday. Trump argued that the plan should apply until our countrys representatives can figure out what is going on as it pertains to Islamic terrorism and ISIS. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life, a statement quoted Trump as saying. Following the announcement, Trump received a 24-second standing ovation from the crowd. But he has not received the support of liberals or competing Republican candidates, who argue that he is being un-American. Jeb Bush called Trump unhinged on Twitter. Hillary also took to social media to call the proposal reprehensible, prejudiced and divisive. When Ted Cruz was asked about the plan, he commented, thats not my policy adding that he intends to focus on radical Islamic terrorism. Others have argued that his comments feed right into ISIS plans to turn America against Muslims. What do you think of Trumps announcement? 
1	Obese comedian Chris Farley delighted dozens of onlookers Thursday, suffering an uproarious heart attack at a Manhattan restaurant. He was enjoying our $10.99 all-you-can-eat lasagna special, said Il Trattoria owner Ed Gianelli, when he turned all red and started pounding on his chest. He then flopped onto a nearby table, smashing it into splinters and sending food flying in all directions. I was in hysterics. This guy is the next Belushi. 
2	Obama Attacks Bill OReilly After He Goes On National Television And SLAMS Him President Obama has taken a lot of heat in the days following the tragic attacks in Paris. In the midst of crisis, he seems unwilling to change any of his plans, and continues to demonstrate his ignorance when it comes to foreign policy. On a recent show, Fox News Bill OReilly spoke out about the issues, calling Obama a passive president who naively believes that progress in being made. We get hit, we get hit, he goes down as the worst president in U.S. history, no doubt, OReilly told reporters. What do you think? Do you agree with OReilly? Do we need a real leader in the White House? 
1	Following the fiery derailment of a 56-car Ringling Bros. circus train Wednesday, hundreds of clowns, somersaulting acrobats, ringmasters on stilts, stampeding giraffes, and monkeys in colorful hats were seen fleeing the accident, which investigators stressed was a very serious matter and in no way funny. According to officials, at least 13 circus performers have died, with dozens more suffering severe burns as a fire spread through the mile-long train, eventually igniting a fuse that launched a human cannonball 200 feet above the devastating and not-at-all amusing scene. 'Train wrecks are never a laughing matter, and this one is no exception,' police chief Jeffrey Phelps said as several rainbow-striped balls, hula hoops, and half a dozen zebras tumbled from an upended train car behind him. 'I personally witnessed three clowns in full makeup yelping and trying to outrun the blaze as they paused to hitch up their bulky oversized trousers and tripped over their big floppy shoesit was horribly tragic.' A completely unamused firefighter attends to one of the wreck's numerous injured. 'In fact, there's nothing at all here that would put a smile on anyone's face,' Phelps continued. 'Not the sight of those unicyclists juggling a series of burning objects in an effort to keep them from reaching the engine's fuel tank, and certainly not the spectacular feat of a fire-eater then expertly swallowing each of those flames. He is now in critical condition.' Among other things the police described as not being humorous were three elephants wearing large red neckties with matching vests feeding from a smashed-open peanut supply container, a cavalcade of contortionists extracting themselves through the tiny opening of a crushed dining car, and a group of dwarves bouncing up and down on a trampoline in an attempt to rescue a bearded woman who had been thrown from the train and was hanging from a tree branch in which her facial hair had become entangled. A parade of elephants in which each animal uses its trunk to hold the tail of the one in front of it is not cute when those elephants are dying of smoke inhalation, authorities added. 'I can see how you might initially find some sort of potential for amusement in juggling pins rolling down a steep embankment while miniature ponies frolic below,' emergency management coordinator Mario Sanchez said without a hint of smile. 'But after those ponies reared back on their hind legs and pranced atop the pins for 10 or 20 wobbly yards, most lost their footing, shattered their forelimbs, and had to be put down.' Added Sanchez, 'And it was a matter of grave seriousness for all involved when that poor Russian bear was forced to jump on a tiny tricycle so it could pedal to safety.' Explaining to reporters that crews were working to clear the scene as quickly as possible, Sanchez emphasized that no emergency personnel were seen stifling laughter as they treated the circus's strong man, who suffered a hernia while trying to lift an overturned passenger coach that was crushing a lion tamer. Other straight-faced sources confirmed none of the accident's sights and sounds were even remotely entertaining, from the spectacular fireworks launching every few minutes to the whimsical strains of carnival music echoing endlessly through the night as a result of smoke billowing through a steam calliope. 'This has been a horrific day, one we may never recover from, but I did see one small beacon of hope amidst the tragedy,' said Charles Simon, an animal trainer with Ringling Bros. 'I watched as a baby tiger, just a tiny little guy, leapt to safety through a boxcar door completely engulfed in flames.' 'And usually it takes years of repeated, systematic beatings before you can condition an animal to do something like that,' Simon added. 
2	BREAKING: Duck Dynasty To Be Cancelled, They Need Your Support When Duck Dynasty first aired 10 seasons ago, no one believed that it would last very long. After all, the cast of characters were unlike any weve seen on television before. But it didnt take long for America to fall in love with the tight-knit family thriving in a swamp. The show first aired in 2012, and received mixed receives in the beginning. As the show progressed, it captured the attention of fans because there was something thrilling about the characters unusual ways. The Robertsons carried a charisma unlike anything wed seen before. By the time Season 4 rolled around, the Robertson family was making headlines almost every day. Now, with Season 10 coming to a close, fans fear that the show will not be renewed. Viewership of the series has been steadily declining for some time now. In contrast to its peak of 11.7 million viewers for Season 4, Duck Dynasty only gathered 1.3 million viewers for Season 10. AE is yet to make any announcements regarding a Season 11. 
3	Conflict of Interest: Jamie Dimon is CEO of JPMorgan and Fed Board MemberSusanne Posel,Contributor Dimon was given his seat on the Feds board in 2007. He has enjoyed his position throughout the financial crisis that his and several other mega-banks have caused through irresponsible behavior on the global stock market. Dimon is not the only banking executive to serve two masters. Along with Dimon, the New York Fed board includes CEOs from Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, Solway Bank, heads of Macys Department Store, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and representatives from Columbia University. Senator Elizabeth Warren wants to see Dimon resign from the Federal Reserve Board. She told CBS, Id like to see Jamie Dimon, for example, resign from his position as a Class A director of the New York Federal Reserve Bank. The banks cannot regulate themselves. Senator Bernie Sanders, who has been calling for a revision of the Fed, told CNNs Wolf Blitzer: The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 states that bankers should hold seats on the Feds regional boards. This addition was meant to allude to some semblance of decentralization of the Feds board members; however the clause has only served to bring the corruption closer to home. The members of the board had to be bankers from the region who were considered Class A, while other members would supposedly represent the publics interests in agriculture, commerce, industry, labor and consumer goods. Throughout the years, the Federal Reserve Boards have consistently neglected to accurately document the roles and responsibilities of their board members. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report that showed cases where Stephen Friedman, then chairman of the NY Feds board of directors, possessed massive amounts of shares in Goldman Sachs; which was considered a perk from the Wall Street bailouts. Friedman, who later resigned from the board, had purchased shares in Goldman Sachs through an automatic stock purchase program. Earlier this month, Dimon tried to downplay JPMs recent loss of $2 billion as a mistake. A JPM trader based in London, who is a derivatives expert, placed bets that corporate debt was becoming less of a risk under the false supposition that corporations are becoming financially stronger. Based on a lie, this trader would benefit from any movement on the index. The result was a substantial loss for JPM. Dimon wants the American public to think of this bet as a hedge; however, hedges actually reduce risk. Hedges make money while investments lose money to cover the losses. Because of the pressure and publicity of this incident, as well as the flippant demeanor of Dimon, the shareholders of JPM have filed suit against Dimon in a New York Federal Court. They cite the $2 billion loss as the purpose of their legal action. Dimons behavior shows a man who simply does not have the capacity to display empathy for his role in the destruction of our financial market. His position on the Federal Reserve Board is a gross conflict of interest. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

1	Shedding new light on a tumultuous period of upheaval that dominated international headlines nearly 30 years ago, the U.S. government declassified hundreds of documents Tuesday that confirm the CIA covertly organized and executed the coup that ousted lead singer David Lee Roth from Van Halen. According to a preliminary analysis, the newly released information includes more than 1,600 pages of formerly top-secret material detailing the CIAs clandestine plot to infiltrate the platinum-selling rock group and unseat the magnetic, impulsive musician from his leadership position in the spring of 1985. The documents reveal that the agency worked behind the scenes for years, beginning after the release of the disco-inflected Push Comes To Shove single in 1981, to foment the internal turmoil and unrest needed to destabilize the band and ultimately force Roth to step down from the American heavy metal act. As Van Halens creative direction became uncertain in the early 1980s, it became increasingly apparent that we would have to take the steps necessary to remove Roth from power, said former Deputy Director of Central Intelligence John N. McMahon, describing the covert process by which he and his colleagues quietly forced a schism between the vocalist and members of the bands inner circle in order to disrupt the dangerous cult of personality that had taken hold around the hard-rock frontman. Well before the commencement of the Hide Your Sheep Tour, Roth had become too unpredictable, too brazen, and he was preventing the bands sound from moving toward synthesizer-driven, radio-friendly rock. So, we felt we needed to act, and quickly. Quite simply, our office determined that Roth was no longer fit to exercise control over Van Halen, and that his aspirations for the band were not aligned with the best interests of the American people, he continued. Dubbed Operation Diamond Cutter by the select top-ranking CIA administrators who orchestrated the plot, the confidential initiative reportedly sought to quietly undermine Roths influence within Van Halen and replace him with Sammy Hagar, a charismatic but largely inert puppet leader who agency officials were confident would be easily manipulated once installed atop the iconic rock group. The CIA confirmed that it was able to exploit preexisting strains in the band by capitalizing on internal concerns over Roths long-term musical ambitions following the release of his solo EP, as well as pent-up tensions that had simmered for years after the lukewarm commercial and critical reception of Van Halens Fair Warning album. Additionally, American intelligence operatives succeeded in enlisting Roths manager and utilizing the double agent to convince his client that relinquishing his position would allow him to pursue what was portrayed as a budding and potentially prosperous film career. Based on the things we heard coming out of Van Halens studio at the time, we were given authorization from the highest levels of government to seek every possible avenue to subvert Roths command, said one CIA operative speaking on condition of anonymity, claiming that the agency recruited and trained numerous groupies and entourage members to ply longtime Roth ally Alex Van Halen with alcohol in order to ensure that he was in no state to oppose the takeover. Had we not moved when we did, theres no telling what kind of detrimental effect Roth would have had on the bands move into more mainstream pop territory and the state of rock music as a whole. We saw the opportunity to remove this uncontrollable megalomaniac from power while safeguarding the American people from his potent influence, and we seized it. The last thing we wanted was to have another Panama on our hands, he added. As revealed by the CIA, prior to Roths successful ouster from the group, the agency also funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in untraceable funds through intermediaries to bankroll the production and distribution of such incendiary works as VOA and the I Cant Drive 55 single in order to bolster Hagars profile in the eyes of the bands supporters. Despite the prevalence of critics who question the legitimacy of the post-Roth Van Halen regime, McMahon said that he has no regrets whatsoever about the agencys false flag mission. Overthrowing Roth was a risky, highly controversial maneuver, but I believe that history will justify our actions, McMahon said, acknowledging that the coup ultimately proved ineffectual, as the vocalists departure merely ushered in a series of decreasingly competent replacements, culminating in Roth reclaiming his seat of power long after the band had ceased to have an impact in the international community. This was a self-aggrandizing degenerate who needed to be toppled in order to bring stability to the bands direction. We did what needed to be done. That being said, none of us could possibly have foreseen that For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge would indirectly result from our actions, he added, solemnly shaking his head. 
1	A majority of 7-Eleven shareholders approved a $4.35 buyout offer Tuesday from Dean Lindell, 23, for a six-pack of Busch Light beer. 'It took a bit longer than expected to hammer out the legal details of the deal,' said 7-Eleven CEO Joseph DePinto, referring to a momentary impasse that was resolved when Lindell provided documentation proving he was of drinking age. 'But we were able to successfully close on it, and I'm happy to report 7-Eleven is currently in talks with a woman from Newark for an as-yet undetermined amount of beef jerky.' Some shareholders opposed to the deal claim 7-Eleven was shortchanged when Lindell siphoned funds from the take-a-penny, leave-a-penny tray to complete the sale. 
1	Though she greets you every morning with a smile, sometimes chats with you, and makes sure the chocolate syrup is evenly distributed throughout your mocha, Starbucks barista Molly Sopel is in truth not flirting with you, and is instead simply a pleasant person and conscientious employee, coffeeshop sources reported Monday. 'The best part about Molly is that she laughs and talks with everyone,' said manager Mike Dezort, who confirmed that Sopel asks if you want room for milk as a courtesy, and not because of the physical attraction you think exists between the two of you. 'I always overhear her calling customers sweetie, which people seem to like.' A Starbucks regular who frequently watches you order from Sopel is reportedly 'shocked' that you still haven't realized that she only calls you by your first name when you pay with your debit card.

3	CIA Director Slams Trump For Slamming CIABy Jon Rappoport In case you hadnt noticed, uttering a politically incorrect comment is now a bigger crime than decimating thousands in a war. You can bomb a country into submission and chaos, leaving dead and wounded from shore to shore, and that might be counted as a mistake in judgment; but using a few loaded wordsor in this casecriticizing an intelligence agencyis an earthshaking event that could make the planet spin off-course Case in point: The lame-duck outgoing CIA director, John Brennan, lectured Donald Trump Sunday, on FOX. NBC News reports: Trump has repeatedly called for a better relationship between the U.S. and Putins government. He suggested in an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Friday that hed consider easing the latest sanctions on Russia. I think he has to be mindful that he does not have a full appreciation and understanding of what the implications are of going down that road, Brennan said. The CIA chief roundly denounced Trumps approach to Russia and other national security threats, suggesting the president-elect has much to understand before he can make informed decisions on such matters. The world is watching now what Trump says and listening very carefully. If he doesnt have confidence in the [US] intelligence community, what signal does that send to our partners and allies as well as our adversaries? Brennan said. Signal? Mr. Brennan, the signal was sent to our partners, allies, and adversaries decades ago: The CIA is a criminal agency. Is that clear enough? Long ago, the CIA criminally stepped outside its mandate, in order to shape world events it had no business participating in. Is that clear enough? In that regard, do these names and phrases mean anything to you, Mr. Brennan? * The Gehlen Org. * Operation Gladio. * MKULTRA. * Operation CHAOS. * Nugan Hand Bank. * BCCI Bank. * Golden Triangle. Asian heroin. * Air America. * Central American cocaine. Mena. * The Contras. * Henry Luce. William Paley. Arthur Sulzberger. Operation Mockingbird. * Overthrow of Mohammed Mossadegh (Iran). * Overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz (Guatemala). * Murder of Patrice Lumumba (Congo). * Bay of Pigs. * JFK. * Diem assassination. * Rafael Trujillo assassination. * Sukarno. Suharto. * East Timor genocide. * Military coupGreece. * Allende. * Gulf of Tonkin. * Operation Phoenix. * Laos bombing. * Sihanouk. * The Khmer Rouge. * El Salvador death squads. On and on it goes See Mark Zepezauers book. The CIAs Greatest Hits. Overthrow, assassination, regime change, mind control, covert war, mass destruction, drugs, financial theft, co-opting the press Do you recall any of this, Mr. Brennan? Trump (or any president) is sending a negative signal about the US intelligence community to our friends, allies, and adversaries? Are you kidding, Mr. Brennan? Are you telling some kind of inside joke? People all over the world have known, for decades, what the CIA has been doing. And youre worried about the effect of a little tweak from Trump? The murderous history of the CIA has been a cat out of the bag for a long, long time. Professional amnesia may be your friend, Mr. Brennan, but it doesnt convince the victims and targets of your agencys actions since 1948.

Criminals In Action (CIA) Thank you Jon for all this and kudos. John Brennan is an Islam apologist, and it is suggested he actually converted to Islam, which may explain why Obama appointed him, Islam which has killed 900,000 Christians the past year, just for being Christians. Despite the genocide, Obama, Hillary, and Brennan have nothing but kind words for this global terror operation. The fresh rather unbiased approach of Trump could do no worse than Obamas, probably much better, after the Arab Spring regime changes which led only to radicalism, mass death, instability, and dangerous migration. You recall Obama calling the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt freedom fighters? Sending jets to assist them? Thanks to El- Sisi for deposing the radicals. Obama was pissed about that! I believe PRESIDENT Trump is going to purge the Deep State from the CIA and end their evil ways. This could be very dangerous, but I hope and pray he can do it. The CIA has been a rogue group for too long.

Tolkien's posthumously published account of the creation of Middle Earth and the subsequent Wars of the Silmarils, engaged the 12-year-old for the entire 33-minute recess period. Muncie reportedly positioned himself in a corner of the school cafeteria, far enough from his dodgeball-playing classmates to remain unmolested.

1	Admitting that it has taken him a while to get fully oriented since being called up to the majors, rookie Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Chris Owings confirmed Wednesday that he is still attempting to learn and memorize the names of all four bases. I know firstthat ones pretty easybut after that, things start to get a little tricky, the first-year infielder told reporters, noting that his lack of familiarity with the baseball diamond often forces him to refer to a base by simply pointing at it and saying that one. And I can usually remember side base and middle base, but sometimes, I blank on those, too. There are just so many of them that its easy to get confused. Owings expressed his relief, however, to learn that, like him, many of his Diamondbacks teammates are unable to figure out the difference between right and left field. 
2	Donald Trump Under Fire After SLAMMING Muslim Women Wearing Burqas Donald Trump has been under fire by liberals and fellow candidates for his blunt comments. Once again, hes sparked controversy by voicing his thoughts about burqas. Trump began by claiming that the United States should stop trying to insert themselves in Middle Eastern affairs, claiming that Muslim women dont want freedom. With the women over there, they dont have to wear the you-know-what, Trump commented, referring to burqas. I saw women interviewed. They said, We want to wear them. Weve worn them for a thousand years. Why would anyone tell us? They want to. What the hell are we getting involved for? The fact is its easier, he continued. You dont have to put on make-up. Look how beautiful everyone looks. Wouldnt it be easier if mwah? Right? Wouldnt that be easy? I tell you if I was a womanmwahIm ready darling. Lets go. What do you think? Did Trumps comments cross the line or do you stand behind him for speaking up about his true beliefs?

2	Woman Who Left Home To Join ISIS Gets Some Bad News... According to reports, a 25-year-old woman who left home with her toddler son to join ISIS is now being detained in Turkey after fleeing the organization. Reports indicate that she may be sent back to Syria. Tareena Shakil left her home in Staffordshire just last year after telling her family that she was going on vacation to Spain. Instead, Shakil went to join ISIS in Syria, sending out a daunting text when she arrived illegally. At first no one suspected anything, then she said she was at the border of Syria, claims Tareem, Shakils brother. She sent us messages saying shed gone over for a new life. Shakil also set up a Facebook page claiming that she was now a slave to Allah. However, shortly after joining the organization, she began reaching out to her family for help, claiming that she made a mistake. Shakil was reportedly being forced to marry a fighter. She fled the organization, and is now being held in a Turkish border town. Her father has flown to the city in attempts to return his daughter to the U.K., although it looks like that may be impossible. Shakil crossed the border into Syria illegally, and therefore Turkey maintains the right to sent her back there. They are on the front line of the war with IS and will have little sympathy towards her, claims once Foreign Office source. What do you think? Should Shakil be returned to the U.K.? 
2	Rob Lowe Absolutely DESTROYS Obama On Live TV Hollywood Actor Rob Lowe made quite the statement on Twitter last week, after he decided to call out President Obama for having his priorities completely wrong. Lowe publicly criticized Obama for granting viral YouTube star GloZell Green an interview, even though he has refused to extend the same courtesy to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. GloZell gained her fame after she self-produced a video of herself eating cereal, while sitting in a bathtub full of milk and Fruit Loops. The video was odd enough to get her a personal interview with the President of the United States. Hold up. Is it true that a woman who eats cereal out of a bathtub gets to meet with the President and the Prime Minister of Israel does not? Lowe (@RobLowe) tweeted to his followers. For those who arent up to speed, here is the woman who had an official meeting with POTUS yesterday. pic.twitter.com/whq/2ZvAdDc he continued. What do you think of President Obamas official meeting? 
2	Academy Caves To Females And Minorities By Completely Restructuring Award System The Academy has been receiving a ton of backlash recently for having poor diversity in awards given. Liberals, women, and minorities are all going after them. The place America has come to in terms of situations like these is absolutely ridiculous. People earn awards. They shouldnt be given them for their race or gender. The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up, said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact and begin the process of significantly changing our membership composition. Here is the official release statement by the Academy: Beginning later this year, each new members voting status will last 10 years, and will be renewed if that new member has been active in motion pictures during that decade. In addition, members will receive lifetime voting rights after three ten-year terms; or if they have won or been nominated for an Academy Award. We will apply these same standards retroactively to current members. In other words, if a current member has not been active in the last 10 years they can still qualify by meeting the other criteria. Those who do not qualify for active status will be moved to emeritus status. Emeritus members do not pay dues but enjoy all the privileges of membership, except voting. This will not affect voting for this years Oscars. The Academy Awards are essentially becoming participation awards. Its not longer your talent that earns you one, but rather your race and gender. Women and minorities that win in the future will be discredited. It really is unfortunate. Do you think the Academy should reverse the decision? 
3	Red Sea Deal: Are Israel and Saudi Arabia Forming a Joint Military?By Clarice Palmer The 2014 memorandum claims Israel hosted a number of Saudi officers in military training courses carried out at the Port of Haifa base in Israel. The training allegedly took place in 2015. While a recent Jerusalem Post report confirms the Saudi kingdom and the Jewish state have been close as of late, the outlet also claims details pertaining to the alleged ties between the nations arent likely to be made public and that Israels involvement in the Red Sea deal, which secured the transfer of the islands of Sanafir and Tiran from Egypt to Saudi Arabia, is just another one of the many covert interactions between the two countries. In the Muslim Press report, Israel and Saudi Arabia are implicated in the formation of a joint operation in Tiran Island, one of the islands handed over to Saudi Arabia after Israels approval of the agreement between the Saudis and Egyptians. While the Jerusalem Post does not mention any military training carried out by either nations in the past couple of years, journalist and security expert Yossi Melman admits Israels involvement in the deal between the Saudis and Egypt is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the secret processes taking place behind the scene. Other friendly encounters between the Saudis and Israelis, such as the meetings between Mossad chiefs and Saudi intelligence officials, have also been covered by the media. There was also a report that former prime minister Ehud Olmert held a meeting with Prince Bander bin Sultan, who was the Saudi envoy to Washington, as well as the head of the National Security Council and the Saudi intel chief, the Jerusalem Post reported. To security experts like Yossi Melman, the Red Sea deal is likely the continuation of these contacts as was published and the common interests between the two countries. While Melman concedes the covert ties are unlikely to come to the surface, details concerning the memorandum leaked by Meretz and reported by Muslim Press havent received much attention from the establishment media.

1	NCAA officials announced Wednesday that seven losses would be stricken from Duke's 2008-2009 season record, claiming they were forced to act after discovering evidence of dramatically meritorious behavior both on and off the court. 'This will forever polish the legacy of the Blue Devils, as all their losses from the season will be removed from the record books,' said Paul T. Dee, the chairman of the Plauditory Committee, who expressed strong commendations for the men's basketball team. 'Their overall AP ranking for last year will also be impacted, as we will have to drop them up from sixth to second. And we find it only fair that Duke be stripped of its 1994 second-place tournament finish, which will go to Arkansas in exchange for their national title trophy.' Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has decided not to appeal the NCAA's decision to permanently place the Blue Devils on approbation. 
1	In what was perhaps the most meaningful discovery ever made, early man exited the safety and shelter of his prehistoric cave, struck two stones together, and for the first time in history created fire. Moments later, man created fire for the second time and, after all the screaming and excited yelling had died down, the third, fourth, and fifth time. 'Fire, and its ability to light any object not currently on fire instantly on fire, completely changed human existence,' noted archaeologist and historian Phillip Krensen said. 'Not only could man now defend himself from dangerous predators, but he could also cook their meat, then get up from the bonfire, smile briefly to himself, and spend the rest of the evening seeing what else there was around to burn down.' 'Our findings indicate that this ranged widely from brittle husks of corn, to small branches and twigs, to other unsuspecting Homo erectus within arm's reach,' Krensen added. 'Indeed, it was a time of great fire-related exploration.' According to remarkably detailed cave paintings from the period, early humans attempted to set fire to surrounding bushes, roaming buffalo, uncooperative mates, the sky, primitive tools, the ground, cooperative mates, and, judging by their often blackened appearance, most of the cave paintings themselves. In addition to influencing prehistoric eating habits, art, and interpersonal relationships, the introduction of fire also gave rise to several new leisure activities, such as fire-watching and fire-gazing, and helped to develop early modes of communication. Some scholars have gone so far as to claim that without the discovery of fire, modern man wouldn't have the amazing range of frightened and pained expressions and exclamations that he does today. 'Fire definitely had a very powerful effect on individuals at the time,' said Howard Schwartzman, an expert in early human civilizations who spoke to reporters from his home in upstate New York. 'It was like nothing else they had ever seen before, and for the next century or so, it became just about the only thing anyone could pay any attention to.' 'But then, who can blame them,' added Schwartzman, suddenly throwing his glass of whiskey into the fireplace next to him. 'Man, just look at that thing go.' New research shows that early humans may have lost the secret to fire for nearly 3,000 years after they attempted to set a nearby lake ablaze. 
1	Several hours before the opening ceremony Thursday, ambitious Chinese street vendors obtained bootleg copies of the complete 2008 Beijing Olympics coverage, pressed DVD copies of the footage, and sold DVDs for five to seven dollars apiece from blankets spread out on the sidewalk. 'I was really surprised that I was able to get a hold of this so early, especially with all the reports that the Chinese were going to prevent the results from being leaked,' said San Francisco resident Todd Saunders. 'The footage was pretty grainy and you could tell they just shot it off of a screen with a camcorder, but for the price I thought it was worth it.' Although Saunders said he was surprised to find himself tearing up while watching the closing ceremony, he admitted that the performance dedicated to the athletes tragically lost to Turkish terrorism on days three through five was quite touching. 
2	Trey Gowdy Pulls Something Off That No One Ever Thought He Would Congressman Trey Gowdy has made a name for himself in the past two years for being a defender of justiceparticularly when it comes to the Hillary Clinton Benghazi case. His prolonged investigation into Benghazi and her email scandal brought her crimes out into the open and likely contributed to her loss in the Presidential election. Although Gowdy wrapped up the Benghazi panel, we can all thank him for the fact that Hillary will not be in the White House for the next four years. With that nail in the coffin, Gowdy is now targeting the mainstream media, saying he has been really disappointed in the media since Ive been in Congress. I think there is a blurring of the line between the opinion page and the news page, Gowdy continued. And I can take you to the headlines of almost any website on the Internet right now, and you will say, well thats opinion, thats subjective, not objective. To them, theyve done their job, he argued. They have quoted this person whos wrong, and this person whos equally wrong, therefore its balanced. I think the goal ought to be to be accurate, not to be balanced. And there is a movement in the media now that it is more important to be first than to be right. Gowdy gave the media a warning that Congress is now turning even more attention to this blatant bias. As a member of the least popular profession on the face of the Earth, I think it would do them well to analyze why they would be increasingly giving us a run for our money as to who the least popular entity on Earth is, Gowdy concluded. The polling I see indicates people trust and believe the media less than ever before. What do you think? Do you trust the mainstream media?

3	Global Financial Meltdown Coming? Clear Signs That The Great Derivatives Crisis Has Now BegunBy Michael Snyder As you will see below, something happened in mid-September that required an unprecedented 405 billion dollar surge of Treasury collateral into the repo market. I know that sounds very complicated, so I will try to break it down more simply for you. It appears that some very large institutions have started to get into a significant amount of trouble because of all the reckless betting that they have been doing. This is something that I have warned would happen over and over again. In fact, I have written about it so much that my regular readers are probably sick of hearing about it. But this is what is going to cause the meltdown of our financial system. Many out there get upset when I compare derivatives trading to gambling, and perhaps it would be more accurate to describe most derivatives as a form of insurance. The big financial institutions assure us that they have passed off most of the risk on these contracts to others and so there is no reason to worry according to them. Well, personally I dont buy their explanations, and a lot of others dont either. On a very basic, primitive level, derivatives trading is gambling. This is a point that Jeff Nielson made very eloquentlyin a piece that he recently published No one understands derivatives. How many times have readers heard that thought expressed (please round-off to the nearest thousand)? Why does no one understand derivatives? For many; the answer to that question is that they have simply been thinking too hard. For others; the answer is that they dont think at all. Derivatives are bets. This is not a metaphor, or analogy, or generalization. Derivatives are bets. Period. Thats all they ever were. Thats all they ever can be. One very large financial institution that appears to be in serious trouble with these financial weapons of mass destruction is Glencore. At one time Glencore was considered to be the 10th largest company on the entire planet, but now it appears to be coming apart at the seams, and a great deal of their trouble seems to be tied to derivatives. The following comes fromZero Hedge Of particular concern, they said, was Glencores use of financial instruments such as derivatives to hedge its trading of physical goods against price swings. The company had $9.8 billion in gross derivatives in June 2015, down from $19 billion in such positions at the end of 2014, causing investors to query the company about the swing. Glencore told investors the number went down so drastically because of changes in market volatility this year, according to people briefed by Glencore. When prices vary significantly, it can increase the value of hedging positions. Last year, there were extreme price moves, particularly in the crude-oil market, which slid from about $114 a barrel in June to less than $60 a barrel by the end of December. That response wasnt satisfying, said Michael Leithead, a bond fund portfolio manager at EFG Asset Management, which managed $12 billion as of the end of March and has invested in Glencores debt. According to Bank of America, the global financial system has about 100 billion dollars of exposure overall to Glencore. So if Glencore goes bankrupt that is going to be a major event. At this point, Glencore is probably the most likely candidate to be the next Lehman Brothers. And it isnt just Glencore that is in trouble. Other financial giants such as Trafigura are in deep distress as well. Collectively, the global financial system has approximatelyhalf a trillion dollars of exposure to these firms Worse, since it is not just Glencore that the banks are exposed to but very likely the rest of the commodity trading space, their gross exposure blows up to a simply stunning number: For the banks, of course, Glencore may not be their only exposure in the commodity trading space. We consider that other vehicles such as Trafigura, Vitol and Gunvor may feature on bank balance sheets as well ($100 bn x 4?) Call it half a trillion dollars in very highly levered exposure to commodities: an asset class that has been crushed in the past year. The mainstream media is not talking much about any of this yet, and that is probably a good thing. But behind the scenes, unprecedented moves are already taking place. When I came across the information that I am about to share with you, I was absolutely stunned. It comes from Investment Research Dynamics, and it shows very clearly that everything is not okay in the financial world Something occurred in the banking system in September that required a massive reverse repo operation in order to force the largest ever Treasury collateral injection into the repo market. Ordinarily the Fed might engage in routine reverse repos as a means of managing the Fed funds rate. However, as you can see from the graph below, there have been sudden spikes up in the amount of reverse repos that tend to correspond the some kind of crisis the obvious one being the de facto collapse of the financial system in 2008: What in the world could possibly cause a spike of that magnitude? Well,that same article that I just quoted links the troubles at Glencore with this unprecedented intervention Whats even more interesting is that the spike-up in reverse repos occurred at the same time September 16 that the stock market embarked on an 8-day cliff dive, with the SP 500 falling 6% in that time period. Youll note that this is around the same time that a crash in Glencore stock and bonds began. It has been suggested by analysts that a default on Glencore credit derivatives either by Glencore or by financial entities using derivatives to bet against that event would be analogous to the Lehman moment that triggered the 2008 collapse. The blame on the general stock market plunge was cast on the Feds inability to raise interest rates. However that seems to be nothing more than a clever cover story for something much more catastrophic which began to develop out sight in the general liquidity functions of the global banking system. Back in 2008, Lehman Brothers was not perfectly fine one day and then suddenly collapsed the next. There were problems brewing under the surface well in advance. Well, the same thing is happening now at banking giants such as Deutsche Bank, and at commodity trading firms such as Glencore, Trafigura and The Noble Group. And of course a lot of smaller fish are starting to implode as well. I found this example posted on Business Insider earlier today On September 11,Spruce Alpha,a small hedge fund which ispart of a bigger investment group,sent a short report to investors. The letter saidthat the$80 million fund had lost 48% in a month,according the performance report seen byBusiness Insider. There was no commentary included in the note.No explanation. Just cold hard numbers. Wow how do you possibly lose 48 percent in a single month? It would be hard to do that even if you were actually trying to lose money on purpose. Sadly, this kind of scenario is going to be repeated over and over as we get even deeper into this crisis. Meanwhile, our leaders continue to tell us that there is nothing to worry about. For example, just consider what former Fed Chairman Ben Bernankeis saying Former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke doesnt see any bubbles forming in global markets right right now. But he doesnt think you should take his word for it. And even if you did, that isnt the right question to ask anyway. Speaking at a Wall Street Journal event on Wednesday morning, Bernanke said, I dont see any obvious major mispricings. Nothing that looks like the housing bubble before the crisis, for example. But you shouldnt trust me. I certainly agree with that last sentence. Bernanke was the one telling us that there was not going to be a recession back in 2008 even after one had already started. He was clueless back then and he is clueless today. Most of our leaders either dont understand what is happening or they are not willing to tell us. So that means that we have to try to figure things out for ourselves the best that we can. And right now there are signs all around us that another 2008-style crisis has begun. Personally, I am hoping that there will be a lot more days like today when the markets were relatively quiet and not much major news happened around the world. Unfortunately for all of us, these days of relative peace and tranquility are about to come to a very abrupt end.

3	Positive Attitude = More Control Over Your Life, Better HealthElizabeth Renter The research was published in the Melbourne Institute Working Paper Series (pdf) and examined the outlooks and lifestyles of more than 7,000 people in Australia. Our research shows a direct link between the type of personality a person has and a healthy lifestyle, says study author Deborah Cobb-Clark. Men and women who remain positive about life are more likely to eat better, exercise regularly, and take better care of themselves overall. People who feel like life is a matter of fate or luck are less likely to live healthy, and are more likely to smoke and drink. The bottom line: when you feel in control, you take control. People who exhibit a positive mental attitude about life are often those who take an action-oriented approach to everything. They might run into the same obstacles as someone with a more negative outlook, but they choose to respond, not react, differently. People who always feel like things happen to them and that these occurrences determine the course of their life are less likely to take control because they are less likely to feel in control. Still, men and women see the results of their positive mental attitude in their health. In a study we reviewed several months ago, researchers found that affirmations for health and positive thoughts also work to create behavioral and even physical changes. This could play a role in the effectiveness of placebosthat when we believe and think positively about something, it is more likely to come to fruition. If you need more proof that your own thoughts and positive mental attitude can cause self-healing, read this. So, whether you are trying to lose weight or simply be healthierthinking positively can help. Need some positive thinking tips? Try walking in the sunshine or forest bathing, petting a dog, or holding a baby. Actually, merely thinking about these things can have some similar benefits. So, stop sulking and begin smiling.

The lengthy text contains a lot of business newspeak. However, various chapters deal with historys biggest free trade move yet, pharmaceutical industries, business conduct in third-world and developing countries, agriculture, state-owned enterprises and designated monopolies (interesting terminology), government procurement, competition policies, and e-commerce. In October, WikiLeaks claimed that they had a leaked copy of the full text and it contained information on trade secrets and top-down control of the Internet that are indeed found in chapter 18. It is referred to as the Agreement, although most of the worlds people have never had any say at all in the decisions foisted on them below. Please explore our articles on the TPP. The text of the Agreement was released by TPP Parties on 5 November 2015 and can be accessed by chapter below.

2	Phil Robertson Breaks Down Into Tears After THIS Happened Its a rare sight to see Patriarch Phil Robertson in tears, but that is exactly what viewers saw on a recent episode of Duck Dynasty. He was praying for a family that needed a new house. Being the Christian that he is, he finally decided to just go and get one for them. The Christmas episode showed Robertsons immense gesture, while Willie Robertson explained that they had known the Lewis family for more than four decades. After the family fell into financial hardship, Robertson took it upon himself to extend a helping hand. Father, we just give you a great big thank you for our familyFather as you know, I dont cry that much, on behalf of my sister, kids and grandkidsits hard to stop the tears, he concluded. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you support Robertson?

2	Donald Trump Wants To Send Mexico A Bill For Every Single Illegal Immigrant, Heres What It Would Cost Donald Trump has quickly become one of the most controversial presidential candidates in history, with his comments on illegal immigrants sparking heated debates all throughout the country. At recent events in Las Vegas and Phoenix this past week, Trump continued to criticize the Mexican government for pushing their criminals into the United States. He also went on to claim that we should be charging Mexico $100,000 for every illegal immigrant that crosses our border. Now the Mexican government makes so much money that its peanuts, Trump concluded. I couldve made it much higherbut Im nice. Im in a good mood today. According to the Pew Research Center, such a measure could bring in billions of dollars, although exact numbers are nearly impossible to determine. Trump then went on to claim that Mexico has been able to dump its criminals on our soil because the Obama administration is stupid. While Trumps comments have certainly rocked the boat, hes gained the support of both independent and Republican voters. He is now the top presidential candidate among Republicans. What do you think? Would you vote for Trump? 
1	Michael Wilhoyte, NBC's vice-president of programming, made the specious claim Monday that he is seeking 'edgy, push-the-envelope new sitcoms' for the network. 'What we want are things that will shake up viewers and really defy their expectations,' Wilhoyte told Daily Variety TV reporter Naomi Berger. 'We want shows that have a jarring, not-in-Kansas-anymore effect on the audience. Not your grandmother's sitcom, if you will.' Three hours later, Wilhoyte approved a seven-figure development deal for a sitcom pitched as 'Friends, but in Los Angeles.'

'Al-Jazeera has ties to virtually every country in the Arab world, and this guy was the key to their whole operation,' Lt. Warren Withers said. 'Nothing went through the Al-Jazeera communications array without his go-ahead.' Pentagon officials praised the soldiers for their 'courageous and swift action,' but noted they would have preferred that the Marines captured someone hostile to the U.S. instead. 
2	They Got Married In 1940 Its not every day you hear a story about lifelong love, but that is the case for Jeanette and Alexander Toczko. They were boyfriend and girlfriend when they were 8 years old, their son Richard reported. Alexander was a World War II veteran, who fell in love with and married Jeanette in 1940. The couple lived happily in San Diego, until Alexander broke his hip and his health began declining. Shortly thereafter, Jeanette fell ill as well. As the family prepared to say goodbye, Jeanette told them of her wishes to die hand in hand with her husband. She kept asking us, What is today, what is today? their daughter Aimee told reporters. We said it was June. She said its June 29th, and June 29th is their 75th wedding anniversary. The family came over to celebrate, and when they left, the couples spent some time alone. That night, Alexander died in his wifes arms. See this is what you wanted, Jeanette told him. You died in my arms and I love you. I love you, wait for me, Ill be there soon. Not more than 24 hours passed before Jeanette came true to that promise. This is an amazing story. Share it with your friends! 
2	THIS Chilling Biblical Prophecy Just Came True... God Help Us All Over the past few years, weve seen an amazing spike in the unrest in the Middle East. It seems like each day the region becomes even more tumultuous. Its hard to be surprised, however, given that the Bible predicted that this would be the case more than 2,300 years ago. In the Bible, it is predicted that the end of the world will center on Israel and the Middle East. In Isaiah 17:1-2, it is written: See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins. The cities of Aeroer will be deserted and left to flocks, which will lie down, with no one to make them afraid. Aeroer is known today as Jordan, a city that the Bible predicts will not be destroyed, but abandoned. This prediction came to fruition when the city of Yarmouk was taken over by ISIS. The Bible predicts that this will eventually lead to fall of Israel. Woe to the many nations that ragethey rage like the raging sea! Woe to the peoples who roarthey roar like the roaring of great waters! Although the peoples roar like the roar of surging waters, when he rebukes them they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweed before a gale. In the evening, sudden terror! Before the morning, they are gone! This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us. What do you think of these chilling predictions? Could the Middle East truly be the downfall of society as we know it? 
2	Joey And Rory Have Displayed REMARKABLE Strength And They Claim Its Because Of THIS One Thing Joey and Rory have been through an immense amount this past year. They found out that Joeys cervical cancer had returned late last March. Ever since then it has been a non-stop battle. The entire family has fought that battle and they will continue to do so for as long as they possibly can. They all love and cherish each other with all of their hearts. Every moment they share together is a moment that has given them strength. Every smile that they have shared is a smile that has given them one extra day. Every prayer they have received has given them one extra day. The two took to social media to express their feelings. Rory posted that he and Joey were reminiscing about last February. That is when their entire family took a trip to Hawaii. They spent two weeks together with no plan, no rush, and only each other to be with. They said that the memories made during that trip will last ten lifetimes and will continue to give them strength. Their memories are the source of their strength and they will continue to relive every wonderful moment that they have shared together. They have even shared amazing moments during Joeys sickness. Indiana turned two this month and began talking. Doctors told Joey she would never see either of these things. Joey saw both and could not hold her emotions in. Joey balled from happiness because she knows God is looking after her. She has pushed through everything that has been put in her way. The Feek family has supported her endlessly and will continue to do so for as long as they can. Joey is a true hero and her strength is unparalleled. I only wish that I can be half as strong as Joey has been during these times. My heart goes out to the entire Feek family. Will you send your love and prayers to them? 
1	Like famished dogs salivating before a warm and steaming carcass, a coalition of bloodthirsty Americans demanded this week that the entertainment industry provide them with newer, fresher celebrities to mercilessly devour. 'Our most sumptuous celebrities have been picked to the bone,' a statement by the group, Citizens for Renewed Celebrity Consumption, read in part. 'We can no longer subsist vicariously on the travails and public deteriorations of Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. These fetid idols are mere shreds of their former selves, and we, the American entertainment consumers, grow ever hungrier for a new crop of stars on which to feast.' 'We need meat!' the statement continued. 'Raw, bloody meat!' Calling Shia LaBeouf's substance abuse problems 'unsastifying,' and the persistent tabloid coverage of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt 'a mere morsel, unfit even for a sewer rat,' the CRCC claimed that the current batch of celebrities are simply not providing the level of self-immolation necessary to slake the rabid appetites of the American public. In an extensive outline of their demands, the CRCC called for the immediate coupling of 25 emotionally unstable stars, grainy nude photos of Megan Fox, and a new Disney channel devoted entirely to the creation of teenage singing sensations who can be lured into the debaucherous lifestyle of Los Angeles' most rich and famous. 'The nation very much enjoyed sinking its fangs into the flesh of Jon and Kate plus eight, but we gobbled them up much too quickly, and now require a second course,' said CRCC spokeswoman Ellen Jameson, rhythmically sharpening two butcher knives against each other. 'Feed us. Feed us now or else.' Across the country, consumers echoed the CRCC's call for new celebrity fodder. At an impromptu rally outside a Chicago-area cinema Tuesday, hundreds of moviegoers waiting in line suddenly began chanting 'Meat! Meat! We demand fresh meat!' before overturning several cars and Dumpsters. And in Miami, there were reports of fevered howling around the city last week following the season premier of Grey's Anatomy. Media experts have been warning for months that American consumers will face starvation if Hollywood does not provide someone for them to put on a pedestal, worship, envy, download sex tapes of, and then topple and completely destroy. Ideally, ravenous sources said, the new celebrity should be under the age of 6, so that he or she can be slowly and fully devoured, much like what has been called the 'perfect storm' of celebrity self-destruction: the life of Michael Jackson. 'Forced into fame by an abusive father, robbed of his childhood by a greedy public, and then ascending to superstar status, acquiring huge sums of money and even greater debt, growing progressively more and more insane, getting indicted for child molestation, and eventually dying of a heart attack brought on by massive doses of half a dozen different prescription drugs, followed by a hypocritical backswing into near deification after his death, Michael Jackson was a most delicious and bountiful feast,' Variety writer Janet Cosgrove said. 'But now Hollywood executives must throw us even more to eat or, God help us, we will turn on them and tear them apart instead!' The industry has so far had no shortage of citizens willing to become the American public's next meal. 'Give me fameI'm willing to do anything,' said Los Angeles resident Jenna Sanders, an aspiring singer-actress. 'Dress me up in fancy gowns, parade every detail of my personal life before the world, objectify me, drive me to cocaine and lesbianism. I don't care about the consequences as long as I have my moment in the spotlight!' 'Eat me!' she shouted to reporters. 'Rip me limb from limb and eat me alive!' 
1	Former MLB star and admitted steroid user Jose Canseco extended an informal invitation Monday to over 500 current and former professional baseball players, requesting their presence at his house this coming weekend for his annual steroid party. 'Hey guys, big steroid bash at my place,' Canseco said while handing out flyers at a Toronto Blue Jays spring training intrasquad game. 'Nothing too fancy, just a bunch of guys, hanging out, taking steroids. Tell your friends.' The party is historically an extravagant affair, usually featuring women in bikinis carrying silver trays of various types of anabolic steroids, four VIP suites upstairs where guests can sample steroids from Canseco's personal collection, a giant 40-foot-tall ice syringe filled with Dianabol, oil paintings of steroids on the walls, a keg of steroids, a disco ball, and a punch bowl spiked with steroids. 'Let me break it down for you: food, babes, steroids,' said Canseco, leaning over the outfield fence of Dunedin Stadium, to Blue Jays centerfielder Vernon Wells. 'Any steroid you want. Winstrol-Stanozolol, Deca-Durabolin, Sustanon, Anadrol, you name it. I even got some exotic steroids from South America, and I might bust out my own special homemade steroid blend. Oh, and if everyone chips in $5, I might get a steroid fountain. It's gonna be sweet.' 'Imagine taking steroids all night long, how cool that would be,' said Canseco, trying to get the attention of right-fielder Alex Rios. 'Then multiply that by 100. That's how much this party's going to rule.' According to colored flyers for 'Jose's 22nd Annual Roid-Fest' featuring block-lettered words reading 'Music,' 'Cool!' 'Steroids,' 'Awesome,' and 'Injections,' the event will take place at Canseco's four-acre lakefront mansion in Fort Lauderdale. The event has been touted as a good chance for players to relax, try out some new steroids, bulk up before the season, meet other people who enjoy steroids, share steroid-related stories, and 'just have fun.' 'Psst,' Canseco said to Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Scott Kazmir while he was warming up in the bullpen. 'Hey Scott, hey man, Scott, hey Scott. Hey. Hey man, you wanna come over and take some steroids at my house Saturday? Everyone's gonna be there. Free roids, man. Free roids. They're good for you. It'll be fun. Trust me. Steroid party. My place. Be there.' Canseco said that the event will be catered, featuring hors d'oeuvres such as steroid-stuffed lobster puffs, mini steroid-burgers, and according to Canseco, 'a big steroid cake filled with steroids.' Bowls of pretzels, testosterone cypionate, and Cheetos will be situated in the house and by the pool, and will be replenished throughout the night. 'There will be a hot tub out back filled with steroids, and then we'll go in it and eat all the steroids, and then we'll fill it back up with hot water,' Canseco said. 'Then we'll sit in the hot tub, talk about steroids and stuff, have some laughs, do some steroids, whatever. Then these hot girls in string bikinis will come into the hot tub and do steroids with us. Perfect end to a perfect evening.' For entertainment, there will be a variety of games, including 'Steroid Twister,' 'Guess That Steroid'a game in which blindfolded guests must correctly identify the type of steroid that they just ingestedand something that Canseco only described as everyone dropping their pants and injecting steroids into each other's buttocks. 'Ever try a cherry steroid spritzer?' Canseco reportedly said to Cardinals first-baseman Albert Pujols Tuesday. 'It's like a wine spritzer, but with steroids. Come on, come to my house. If you come, everyone will come. You didn't come last year. You owe me.' 'One thing, though: At the end of the night, we all have to pose for a big group photo,' Canseco added. 'We can do one where we're all doing goofy poses and wearing silly hats and stuff, since we'll all be in such a good mood on account of all the steroids. But then we have to do a more serious one, where everyone looks straight ahead at the camera.' Most players said they would attend. 'I guess I'll go,' said Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada. '[Canseco] kind of creeps me out, though. He's always writing stuff down and trying to talk to me about how to 'cycle' and 'stack' performance-enhancing drugs, but I have to hand it to the guyhe knows how to throw a steroid party.' 'Even though I most certainly do not use steroids, and I never have, and the mere thought is reprehensible, that steroid party should be a good time,' Tigers DH Gary Sheffield said. 'Sometimes things get a little out of hand, like in 2003, when I lost my shit and almost killed a guy and then blacked out. But you know what they sayit's not a steroid party till something gets broken.' 'Canseco's steroid parties are always lame,' Pirates first-baseman Adam LaRoche said. 'Last year when I showed up, all the steroids were already gone and it was just Jose Canseco, Sammy Sosa, and Rafael Palmeiro sitting on the couch, roided out of their minds, watching Mr. Baseball on TBS.' Roger Clemens said that he would not be attending, but asked for directions to Canseco's house just in case he has to drop by for a few minutes to pick up his wife. 
2	BREAKING: New Republican To Enter Presidential Race To Challenge Trump It appears that the GOP establishment is still targeted Donald Trump, even though he has officially secured the Republican presidential nomination. Now, reports indicate they have entered a new candidate in the race in hopes that he will beat Trump. The Political Insider reports that Evan McMullin, a Republican and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) veteran who is the chief policy director for the U.S. House Republican conference, is preparing to enter the race as an independent. Sources confirm that McMullin is being backed by Republican strategist Rick Wilson, and major Republican donors have already started contributing to his efforts. MSNBCs Morning Joe was the first to make the announcement. Former GOP congressman Joe Scarborough reported that McMullin would try to get on the ballot of 20-30 states and that his campaign has more to do with stopping Donald Trump than actually electing a president. Certainly they still believe they can go past the 270 threshold so this person will be able to be in debates, Scarborough commented. McMullin does have a strong background. He served in the national clandestine service of the CIA in the late nineties and early 2000s. During that time, he managed operations related to counter-terrorism and other important issues. After leaving the CIA, he worked at Goldman Sachs in San Francisco for a couple years before becoming the senior adviser at the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He also served just under two years as chief policy director at the House Republican Conference. Watch the report below and tell us what you think. Is this setting Trump up for failure? 
3	Ron Paul: Shut Down Unconstitutional Department of Homeland SecurityBy Ron Paul Despite the heated rhetoric from both sides, no one seriously believes that Congress will allow Homeland Security funding to lapse. Most in Congress believe that, without the Department of Homeland Security, Americans would be left unprotected from terrorists and natural disasters. As with most areas of bipartisan agreement, the truth is the exact opposite of the DC consensus. The American people would be much better off if Congress transferred the few constitutional functions performed by Homeland Security to other parts of the government and then shut down the rest of the department. Many Americans associate Homeland Security with the colorcoded terrorist warning system and the if you see something, say something public relations campaign. These programs were designed to inspire public confidence in the department, but instead they inspired public ridicule. Ironically, the best case for shutting down this department is its most well-known component the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). More terrorist attacks have been thwarted by airline passengers than by the TSA! The TSA may be ineffective at stopping terrorists, but it is very effective at harassing innocent Americans like Lucy Forck. Three-year-old Lucy, who uses a wheelchair, not only had to endure an intrusive screening from TSA agents, but the agents also took away her beloved stuffed animal. When not abusing children who use wheelchairs, TSA subjects airline passengers to rules that seem designed to make air travel as unpleasant as possible. For example, TSA recently forced a Campaign for Liberty staffer to throw away a jar of Nutella she had in her carry-own luggage. I am sure all airline passengers feel safe knowing that TSA is protecting them from sandwich spreads. Ending the TSA would return responsibility for airline security to airports and airlines. Private businesses have a greater incentive than a government bureaucracy to ensure their customers safety. Those conservatives who think this is a radical idea should try to think of one area where they trust government bureaucrats to do a better job than private business owners. Another agency within Homeland Security that the American people could do without is the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Having spent fifteen years in Congress representing a coastal area subject to hurricanes and floods, I have seen first-hand how FEMA places adherence to bureaucratic rules ahead of aiding victims of a natural disaster. As a result, it is not uncommon for disaster victims to wait months or even years for assistance. FEMA not only fails to provide effective relief to disaster victims, it also impedes private disaster relief efforts. FEMA even hinders disaster victims efforts to help themselves. While in Congress, I heard stories of individuals being threatened with fines or even jail time if they returned to their property without FEMAs permission. One individual in my district was threatened with arrest if he removed a tarp that FEMA put on his house even though FEMA was supposed to have put it on his neighbors house! Ten years after the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, it is clear that this department has failed to protect our security, but has infringed on liberty. If Congress really wanted to enhance our security and our liberty it would shut down this unnecessary, unconstitutional department. Former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul runs the RonPaulInstitute.org where this article first appeared. Damn right! 
2	BREAKING: Casey Anthony Comes Forward To Make THIS Shocking Announcement According to recent reports, Casey Anthony was just spotted in New York City, marking the first time shes been seen in public in years. Anthony was seen at the airport with a PR rep that became infamous after trying to negotiate a television interview for Anthony in 2011, just after she was acquitted of the murder of her two year old daughter Caylee Anthony. Now, rumors are circulating that Anthony may be embarking on a different journey with a new network to tell her story. Of course, Anthony denied her identity to reporters. She was then seen meeting NBC News producer Don Wood, who escorted her to NBC headquarters. Daily Mail reports that Anthony went on to meet with Matt Zimmerman, NBC News booker, to tell her life story. Still, NBC claims that as of now, nothing is planned. What do you think of the mysterious meeting?

'There are many complicated factors that will dictate the direction the economy will take in the coming months,' said commodity trading adviser Lucas Brockton, who repeatedly urged reporters at the press conference to leave any empty soda cans with him before they left. 'We are more than happy to talk about these factors at length just as soon as we can get a wink from Mr. Lincoln, if you catch my drift.' As of press time, the analysts were considering an offer of $3.50 and half a turkey sandwich.

Obama claimed that religious tests have never been used to decide what refugees will be admitted into the United States. In his speech he announced this practice as shameful and something that America would never do. Experts on the subject brought to light the fact Obama was lying. In fact, Obama himself has a past of giving religious tests to refugees. Seen exactly how in the video below. Is Obama a compulsive liar who only cares about his personal agenda?

In a shocking new video that is making its rounds on the internet, a man convicted of arson made an extreme choice while in the courtroom. Throughout the footage, the man facing charges is visibly depressed about the situation. He appears distracted, reserved, and introspective.

1	The Museum of Television and Radio added a significant piece to its Precious Gems collection Tuesday upon acquiring a prized Caroline In The City episode dating back as early as 1995. 'This masterpiece, once thought to be lost to the ages, is one of the most highly sought after in the series and is truly emblematic of the Must-See TV movement,' museum curator Gerald Sampson said of the rare 20th-century episode entitled 'Caroline Can't Think,' which runs 22 minutes. 'This is the first work to integrate the elements of Caroline's writing block, her friends' efforts to cheer her up, and her constant need to find a husband.' The VHS copy, which has not been restored and still contains its original commercial breaks, was purchased from 43-year-old Ohio resident Doris Reynolds for $20 million.

2	Muslim Religious Leader Says Christmas Is Worst Than Murder [VIDEO] Obama has bent over backwards to protect Islam, insisting time and time again that it is a peaceful religion. Thats ironic, because the Muslim community has some choice words to say about Christianity. In this video, an Islamic religious leader is up in arms about the phrase Merry Christmas. According to him, the phrase is worse than murder. To elaborate a bit deeper, he goes on to say that Merry Christmas is worse than fornication and drinking alcohol and killing someone, because you are approving of the biggest crime ever committed by the children of Adams sin. Go ahead, Obama, tell us again how Islam isnt extreme. 
1	DETROITFord announced a Sept. 3 rollout date for its new Ford Foresight, a hydrogen-powered SUV that, if it reaches sales projections, will deplete the earth's supply of hydrogen by 2070. 'America has asked for a car that does not use fossil fuels, and we've delivered,' Ford CEO William Ford Jr. said Monday. 'With an engine nearly 20 times as powerful as that of our gas-burning SUV, the 11-ton Foresight will be unaffected by the price-gouging whims of OPEC, as it uses water electrolysis to gather fuel from the oceans and the fresh mountain air.' Ford acknowledged that, when hydrogen supplies are depleted, the usefulness of the Foresight, as well as life on earth as we know it, will end. 
1	SECTION 208Having spent the entire first inning wandering up and down the aisles, sources just confirmed that this is section 208, and, wait, were actually supposed to be in section 209. According to early reports, these are the stairs the usher told us to walk down, but he must have messed up, because that sign above the tunnel says 208. After reportedly consulting the ticket stubs for several moments, sources are indeed confirming that, yeah, we definitely need to be in 209. Maybe 209 is on the right side of this aisle and 208 is on the left? said one of your friends, adding that we need to get out of the way because people are going to get pissed if we keep blocking the stairs. The seats on the right side start at number 32, but then the ones on the left side start at 125. We might actually be in the middle of section 208. I really have no idea. Hold onis this even the right row? he continued, looking down at his ticket again. Just hold on a second. Those familiar with the situation note that everyone were meeting should already be here, but they reportedly dont appear to be anywhere in this section. Sources go on to speculate that they may have gone to the concession stand to get some food, though its more likely that were just in the wrong place. Further reports state that we should just text one of them to come find us. Following additional debate, the seats are said to possibly be at the opposite end of this row. However, there is reportedly no way in hell were walking through a whole row of people only to find out were not supposed to be there, so were better off going back up and walking around to the other side. Sources stress that we could go ask the usher again, but we reportedly already asked him once, and he would probably end up pointing us to the same exact spot anyway. Conflicting reports meanwhile indicate that we should just go to a different usher on the other side of the section and ask to be shown to our seats, because were missing the fucking game. Additional sources are also inquiring as to how the seating layout at a professional sports stadium could be so goddamn confusing. I think I see the seatsshit, never mind, theres some guy sitting in one of them, observed another friend, adding that this entire thing might somehow be a mix-up, because the tickets were purchased on StubHub and then printed at home. I really dont want to say anything to him if those might be his seats. Fuck. Well, there are four empty seats in the row behind him, he added. Lets just sit in those. At press time, sources confirmed that, great, some guy is talking to an usher and pointing in our direction. 
3	Electoral College to Determine if Trump is Fit to Serve as President on News of Russia HacksBy Claire Bernish Led by Christine Pelosi, daughter of Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi, the group of ten electors penned an open letter to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, stating: Allegations that Donald Trump was receiving assistance from a hostile foreign power to win the election began months before Election Day. When presented with information that the Russian government was interfering in the election through the course of the campaign, both in private briefings and public assessment, Donald Trump rejected it, refused to condemn it, and continued to accept their help. Donald Trump even made a direct plea to the Russian government to interfere further in the election in a press conference on July 27, saying, Russia, if youre listening, I hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. Indeed, Democrats and a smattering of Republicans touting utterly unverifiable reports from unnamed CIA officials and unprovable corporate media articles published by the Washington Post and New York Times have seemingly gone out of their way to link Trump to the Putin administration thereby discrediting the democratic outcome of the 2016 election. But claims of Russian interference running the gamut from responsibility of hacks of the Democratic National Committee to a coordinated, State-sponsored propaganda campaign implemented by alternative media outlets have been thoroughly discredited, if nothing else but for a complete lack of evidence. Nevertheless, the electors say they require to know from the intelligence community whether there are ongoing investigations into ties between Donald Trump, his campaign or associates, and Russian government interference in the election, the scope of those investigations, how far those investigations may have reached, and who was involved in those investigations. And that We further require a briefing on all investigative findings, as these matters directly impact the core factors in our deliberations of whether Mr. Trump is fit to serve as President of the United States. It would seem truth has recently been put up for debate, judging by such articles as the Washington Posts Secret CIA assessment says Russia was trying to help Trump win White House, for which the outlet quoted an unnamed and thus wholly unvettable agency official allegedly briefed on an intelligence presentation, stating, It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russias goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected. Thats the consensus view. While mainstream presstitutes repeatedly harp on the vagaries of Russian meddling in the U.S. elections, a number of level-headed analysts and journalists have denounced the allegations as hysterical McCarthyite fearmongering to deflect from damaging contents of documents published by WikiLeaks. Alarmingly, the ten electors cite the unfounded so-called news articles from corporate media in their letter to Clapper: According to reports in the Washington Post, New York Times, and other outlets, the United States intelligence community has now concluded definitively that the Russian interference was performed to help Donald Trump get elected, yet even today Mr. Trump is refusing to accept that finding. In response to the reports, the Trump transition office instead released a statement which called into question the validity of United States intelligence findings, and declared the election over despite the Electoral College not yet casting its votes. Trumps willingness to disregard conclusions made by the intelligence community and his continuing defense of Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin demand close scrutiny and deliberation from the Electoral College. In fact, while countless corporate outlets spread the evidenceless CIA claim like steel truth, the intelligence community-at-large is not at all in full agreement on the accusations. According to an unnamed high-level FBI official, the Bureau is not at all in agreement with the CIA on allegations Russia actively interfered with the U.S. electoral process, calling the agencys report fuzzy and ambiguous and saying the FBI is refusing to corroborate the apparently baseless and dangerous accusation. This modern Red Scare if not called out for the anti-Russian propaganda it constitutes could not only be the final unraveling of the shreds of an American free press, but could see the overthrowing of a democratically-elected leader of the United States. It would be more than worth noting the CIA the same agency behind these alleged confirmations Russia has interfered with the election has been responsible for the overthrow of myriad foreign governments. Whether or not those leaders were elected democratically had no bearing on the agencys subversive and military tactics when U.S. foreign policy dictated the putative necessity of such a move. To imagine such a departure from the democratic process on American soil regardless ones feelings about a Trump presidency is to recognize the power of pure, evidenceless propaganda in motion. No proof of the CIA officials allegations have yet been offered for public scrutiny and investigation. No evidence of Russia coordinating to thwart a Hillary Clinton presidency has yet been proffered. Nothing evincing an active Russian state hand in U.S. politics has yet surfaced anywhere. Astonishingly, that appears to matter little to the very electors in whom American voters entrust with the highest office in the land and instead have placed the burden of proving the baseless reports on President-Elect Trump, himself, stating: Additionally, the Electors will separately require from Donald Trump conclusive evidence that he and his staff and advisors did not accept Russian interference, or otherwise collaborate during the campaign, and conclusive disavowal and repudiation of such collaboration and interference going forward. How Trump is supposed to provide evidence of something that didnt take place has been lost on these ten electors, who have opted for the running guilty until proven innocent narrative of the new McCarthyism. What chilling effect their demands will have on the one vaguely democratic power held by the people of the United States the election of a president of their choosing has yet to be seen. But by every indicator, this could be the final canary call of a once free land. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Image Credit: chrisdiontewalker Trump is exposing all the traitors to this country and her people. He is and that would be everyone but Tulsi Gabbard and Rand Paul. Get out the Ya and its almost half the country too. Especially in the ranks of the menial millennial snowflakes and other ethically challenged, pro-war and assorted left wing types Do you think Trump is going to take steps to return control over the internet to the American people (government)?? Former Bush DHS Secretary Michael Cherthoff (dual citizen) is an example of one person selected a number of years ago to sit on a powerful international committee planning the transfer of the internet to the UN and other international organizations. Point well taken. The California non-profit that distributed web addresses was internationalized, officially, some 4 years ago, and did so by moving ICANN offices outside the U.S. (mostly to the Middle East). The Internet is a US invention and US asset of great importance to Free Speech and Freedom. If you surveyed 10,000 Americans, 99.99% would be ignorant as to what has taken place with the US Commerce Department eschewing involvement and the take-over of ICANN. If you by chanced skimmed the New American article, you may have noticed Ester Dyson is the founding chairwoman of ICANN. Not only is she a globalist stooge, shes been a big booster of UN Sustainable Smart City Skolkovo, Russias version of Silicon Valley, a major Trilateral Commission project (think Brzezinski, Kissinger, Bushes, Clintons, Cheney (both), Greenspan, Summers, seemingly ad infinitum Whos Who global elite minion list) backed the the bankers, Bill Gates and the Silicon Valley usual suspects. Skolkovo was also a focal point for Hillarys State Dept Russia Reset program that facilitated the transfer of advanced classified US technology with military applications to Russia, for which Hillarys office received a formal FBI letter of extraordinary warning. It all comes full circle! The gutting of US sovereignty by TPTB including Hillary herself greasing the Skolkovo skids (with the help of Podesta, another Trilateralist) and yet here we are reading about the alt sphere colluding with Russia. Cant make this stuff up! P.S. In an example of history repeats and / or rhymes, it was Trilateralist Kissinger as Nixons Sec of State who spearheaded the transfer of advanced classified missile technology to the USSR to close a big technology gap. As Prof Antony Sutton explained, Kissinger used the reverse logic excuse that the move would tame their expansionist ambitions. I left a long response a day ago, and selfnews Post censored it. Not sure how to get vital information into these blogs when selfnews Post can censor at will. We need a think tank comment site. I need to ask around regarding strategies to mitigate professional disinfo attacks. Theres a smart group of folks at Black Listed News exchanging ideas, still need to wade through chaff as everywhere, though, theres virtually no censorship and some familiar posters would have your back and much gratitude for any nuggets of wisdom you might want to pass along. Just food for thought. Hi, See Janus. The link and reply I should have left for you was a simple single dot connection to a WSJ article on Chinas internet power grab and the projected trillions in data collection profit, Internet of Things, etc. Apologies for the previous big data dump! I often worry censorship will cut people off compelling me to squeeze in TMI. Cheers, Blue Did Russia force CNN ( Donna Brazile ) to give the debate questions to Hillary in advance .? Excellent point (re: debate questions given to Hillary).. Additionally, blaming the Russians is simply their Red Herring distraction approach. A thinking person would ask, even IF the Russians hacked anything, isnt it true that the wikileaks emails were in fact TRUE ??. The CIA Director is a Muslim experts at lying. Did she get all the questions for the Matt Lauer townhall? She blew up after the townhall because Lauer asked her a surprise question about her emails. I dont think Trump got any questions in advance. Of course there is no concrete reliable independent evidence that suggests removing a duly elected president-elect is the thing to do. However I think this is just the tip. I think the Islamist and and Globalist cabals (including of both parties) will stop at nothing to destroy what is left of the USA, including Civil War. The reason is because the USA cannot stand free and democratic and have Globalism succeed as well. The two are irretrievably incompatible. Its just not possible. OK youre right. So lets just shit-can globalism and those in this country that support it over the American brand of nationalism and making America great again. Not so sure its that easy or simple, it requires more reflection. Reports out today say that Globalist Bill Gates commented that (to paraphrase) Trump is like JFK and it gives me the creeps. Did Globalist Bill Gates just foretell Trumps assassination? I dont know? But we are faced with a global war I think. It is Globalist Totalitarianism vs Western Civilization. Trouble is we have a lot of Globalists within the Western Civilized nations. Globalism and ones Individual liberty cannot coexist, its not possible let alone a country. If Trump is successful and finishes out two terms, the globalists will lose it all and maybe without a (proverbial) shot being fired You have a slogan, Great Again. Who will do it, with what skill set, your keyboard and slogans will not train the proletariat masses required to bring in tRumps glorious Glory for the Homeland. There are a dwindling few with the skills to make and produce things in this country. Nobody has yet ripped off my future. Maybe yours got snagged but mine didnt. I see this country in a completely different light. Theres over 300 million people in this country with most being of average intelligence with some really smart people like Donald Trump sprinkled around to benefit the others. Our Govt while not perfect is better than almost anyplace else and weve been blessed with ample natural resources. Compared to where some others reside in their location in our world, North America is a great location comparatively speaking. Anyway when it comes to the future of this country you obviously see the glass representing America as being half empty. And while after 8 years of abject failure of the Obama administration most couldnt be faulted for still thinking like that, I choose instead to concentrate on the way forward and how the election winner Trump and his policies, especially those concerning globalist politics and ending the unending wars plaguing this country and the elimination of both (unlike crooked Hillary and her neocon ilk who are warmongers) will benefit not only this country but the entire world. Just watch the boondoggling of FEDAnd STATE fire crews at forest fires. Morons milling about everywhere mostly looking to be fedand so few that can actually work to the task at hand. They clearly need to be executed on the spot if they even think of Brzezinskis NWO Technotronic Era is a Globalist technocracy. In a recent issue (12/2/16) of TIME magazine, a review of a book written by pro-Technocracy minion Parag Khanna outlines his goals. 5 Radical Solutions to Fix Our Busted Government 1. Abolish the electoral college https://www.technocracy.news/index.php/2016/12/08/breaking-time-magazine-openly-promotes-technocracy/ https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/21b5e1908db6d87e29d1df4e28610b1c761ad126c26f4cfbaa3638e5de1950c2.jpg Thank God and the Founders for the 2nd Amendment. Its funny how all these foreigners know how to fix our country better than all of us who happen to still live here. All those globalist credentialsIm not impressed. Nationalist credentials, something hes lacking, would be more impressive. Anyway, looking over his list and you can tell hes been watching too much CNN and MSNBC to be taken seriously Yep, Khannas bio tells it all CFR, Global Governance Fellow at Brookings, US military intelligence adviser, etc, etc. His ilk are now more dangerous than ever, theyre directly hacking into our system via big insidious moves and the alt sphere is not raising red flags such as the transfer of internet control and the multinational corporate take over natural resources. Our own corrupt government with the entire DNC along with George Soros tried to rig the elections and lost their collective backsides. Follow the money trails. Is there a comment section out there where paid Islamphobes dont hang out? Go ahead. But wouldnt that be treasonous? The daughter of PeeLousy cannot be trusted any more than the Hildebeast or that horndawg ex potus or the no-name potus. the people(democratic mob) chose Hillary. This fact alone, completely destroys this entire article. Sorry, thats not how the system works. Perhaps this electoral college system could be repealed some day, but not in the midst of an election. Plus, rust belt states would no longer have any representation or influence on national elections. So Hillary lost within the framework of the current system that has existed all our lives, and thats all there is to it. These lefties make like there hasnt been massive exposed vote fraud by the DNC. Subtract the million+ illegals and the rigging and suddenly she doesnt even win the popular. How many of those votes were cast by illegal immigrants? How do we know the vote counts werent rigged in Hillarys favor even though she lost? We know that far more than 3 million votes were cast by illegals. Wrong country. You want to pretend the Electoral College has not served our nation as intended by the Founding Fathers for over 300 years. Find another country. Thats how the system has worked FOR OVER 300 YEARS. Since the VERY BEGINNING. If Trump had won the popular vote and Hillary the requisite number of electoral votes (in this case, 270), can you tell me you would be screaming for Trump to be in the White House, instead of HiLIARy, BECAUSE THATS HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS? Yeah I didnt think so. Your argument is morally bankrupt, because you are a hypocrite. Move along, kid. The Election results are clear: Trump lost by 3 million. Now the slave era Electoral College will reverse the election results, which in plain terms is a coup, legal or not. Slavery was legal; why should a device created by the slave owners who wrote the Constitution deprive us of awarding the Presidency not to the loser (Bush, Trump) but to the winner. This is not about Trump or Clinton, both despicable, but about honoring the voice of the people and providing consent and thereby legitimacy to the President. Overturning the election results can never support consent of the governed. This is about democracy and equality and consent and should not be a partisan issue: all votes should be counted equally, not as distorted by the 538 party loyalists in the Electoral College. Please provide any sources you have for making such a misstatement. Where is it proved that there was a 3 million vote disparity? And, can you think of no other reason why each State would not want to have consequence in the Election process, regardless of the mass vote? As I wrote above: More than 2.8 million voted for Clinton than Trump. The EC is expected to overturn the election results, ie a coup. A person who is rejected by the majority has no consent and therefore, according to the Declaration of Independence, is not legitimate. REAL-TIME NEWS FROM AL.COM Hillary Clintons popular vote lead over President-elect Donald Trump has topped 2.8 million, the most recent figures show. Clinton received 65,756,948 votes, or 48 percent, to Trumps 62,913,088, or 46 percent, according to tracking by Cook Political Report. Here is the data from the Cook report: The Cook report is Compiled from official sources by: David Wasserman @Redistrict, Cook Political Report @CookPolitical What is your source? Mine is the official, certified results. Let me be clear. Youre a Troll. He is worse than a troll. And if the situation were reversed and Hillary had lost the popular vote but won the electoral vote he would be singing the praises and genius of the Electoral System. He is a globalist shill. Are you one of Trumps morons who think he won the popular vote? I despise both Trump and Clinton, so you are wrong on all counts. My agenda is democracy. I voted for Sanders, then Stein. You are lying and you know it. I have been anti-globalist all my life. See my articles at Quora and opednews to confirm. I know you wont for you fear the truth and so attack those who present it with libelous lies. I have been against the Electoral College since it was designed by the slave masters to ensure their rule. You are lyingand you know it. That makes you a troll, doesnt it, Burke? Democracy is the tyranny of the majority. Remember when you werent picked for kickball on the playground, because you were a little creep? DEMOCRACY AT WORK. Thats what the slave owners said; thats what Hitler said. Democracy is majority rule/inviolable rights for all. Your insults show you are aligned with the fascists. Rule of the minority is tyranny; rule by the majority is democracy. Its clear which side you are on. Democracy requires: inviolable rights, independent judiciary, free and diverse media, informed citizenry, culture of tolerance, and majority rule. Those who call democracy mob rule, like Hitler, are promoting fascism, whether by slave owners or Nazis. Mobs are always minorities seeking to disrupt the majority rule. Democracy is a deep tradition, enshrined in our Declaration, with its core values of equality and consent of the governed. The minority can never confer consent for the majority. Do some homework and go beyond your fascist brainwashing. Repeating a lie does not make it true. Let ME be clear: Trump lost by 2.8 million in the actual election. Stating facts is not trolling: calling those who present facts and sources trolls IS! First rule of trolling: call those who present facts trolls. What has Trump done that is so despicable? Has he overthrown a couple of counties leading to the death and displacement of millions? Has he received funds from countries that fund ISIS? Did he receive debate questions in advance of the debates? Did the RNC collude to get him the nomination? Oh, he made some off-color remarks about women! The CIA owned/controlled Washington Post is showing just how much the upper Twits at the CIA fear a Trump administration that might actually require some accountability on the part of the CIA. Lets face it, the CIA is totally out of control, running Perpetual War scenarios on every Continent and supervising terrorism in the US. The Intelligence community is well aware of Hacking thats been going on since the Internet was created by all sides. If Nancy Pelosi and her daughter, now trying to make a name for herself so that another political crime family can endure, didnt know about hacking, then they are unconvincing liars. And, then, the average American should be grateful to the Hackers, Russian or otherwise, who finally revealed the naughty, nasty corruption and scheming going on in the DNC. That the DNC thought they could really get away with their criminal misconduct and now want Americans to see them as Victims is over the top. Of course, those twits who still need Safe Rooms and coloring books merely need to hear the word victim to yell foul. Shall we agree not to become a country of folks who cannot read or read with zero critical thinking skills? You forgot about the CIAs massive world wide drug running Course not. Waited for you to mention it. - Duh 1963 , . , . !! , ! Al-CIA-duh did the coup in 1963, so whats one more. And leading the charge is the Daughter of Nancy youve got to vote for it before you can read it Pelosi. If this doesnt stink like a rotten dead fish!! Time to break out the pitchforks and torches and clean house our selves! There is one heck of a lot of fear-of-discovery to do this much to keep out an outsider of government. A lot of money to be accounted for, and the probability of corruption. No he did not. There is no evidence to support your number. None. In point of fact a critical assessment using common sense and logic suggest the other. Troll Donald J. Trump Michael R. Pence Republican 62,916,237 45.99% More than 2.8 million voted for Clinton than Trump. The EC is expected to overturn the election results, ie a coup. A person who is rejected by the majority has no consent and therefore, according to the Declaration of Independence, is not legitimate. Left a long and clear message responding to yours and it was censored and suppressed by selfnews Post. Your source is scurrilous. Also, the numbers of illegals voting exceed 3 million. I dont know how to get the truth printed to counter your opinion when the truth is openly censored and suppressed by selfnews Post. You wont get away with this. Are you people sure you want to go this route? You have a slogan, Great Again. Who will do it, with what skill set, Benghazi was, Betray us, David Howell Petraeus. He served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from September 6, 2011, until his resignation on November 9, 2012. At 9:40 PM, September 11, 2012 the attack occurred. CIA operatives died. He cut and RAN, less than a month after the attack. But he is not held responsible by you COWARDS . They were his men, CIA operatives. READ LEARN. But you blame the woman. COWARDS. To your faces, I say COWARDS. Betray us, David Howell Petraeus has plead guilty for divulging Classified Information, but you blame the woman, again I say COWARDS! You have a slogan, Great Again. Who will do it, with what skill set, Benghazi Hillery, the democrats and some republicans are against Trump. The liberal news people are fanning the flames. Nobody is asking about hillerys 30,000 E-MAILS she deleted. F.B.I. in with Obama administration sure did a outstanding job of helping hillery out. Might the sanity of these 10 electors be brought into questionsince they seem to be spoon fed issues that OTHERS have tried to interject into everyones minds and thoughts.most people have seen the folly of such assertionsexcept maybe 10..who may be required to see a shrink before they get a security griefingPS hay pelosi..just ask your mother ,since she sits in on briefings about hackingshe can tell you it is all just a lefties wish.imho Picture Perfect recipe for chaos! Christine Pilosi is one scurrilous personage in the image of her reprehensible mother, Nancy Pilosi. Nothing matters to them except winning. And they dont care if they destroy the faith in our institutions to win because those institutions are irrelevant to their globalist rulers. No, the electoral college may not have a briefing by anybody. Give up! Hillary lost thanks to people like me that saw hoe corrupt she is along with OBAMA. 8 years of suffering is too much! 
1	Two years after performing his 2011 spinal fusion surgery, doctors announced this week that Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has been officially cleared to return to the field and take part in football activities. Were pleased to say that after a long recovery, Peyton has successfully passed all of our medical tests required to begin engaging in full-contact drills, said Dr. Alan Killough, who went on to praise Mannings determination to come back ahead of schedule, adding that a year ago he doubted the signal-caller would even be able to suit up for the 2013 season. Now, while were excited for Peyton, its important that we monitor his health closely as he gradually transitions back into football. He should be limited to the first quarter of games until around week six, when he can probably play an entire half, but I think it goes without saying that a full 16-game season is out of the question. Killough added that patience would be key as even the slightest aggravation of Mannings neck injury will most likely result in paralysis.

'I'm basically looking for a young, fresh-faced newcomer, someone who can give me the same sort of effect I got from Nina in my first marriage,' Rudolph told Daily Variety. 'Daryl Hannah worked out fine for this last go-round, but this time, I want someone with no reputation or established style.' Principal photography on the couple's wedding is slated to begin Oct. 21 at Huntington Beach Country Club. 
3	Mental illness is the new normalJon Rappoport Show people an extreme example of something, and thereby convince them to accept a compromise. In this case, parade before the publicalong with assured pronouncements from mental health expertsimages of James Holmes, Aaron Alexis, Adam Lanza, etc.and say: Look, these are people who committed unspeakable crimes because they were suffering from mental disorders, and we must do something about itin fact, at least half of all Americans have some sort of mental disorder Its a nudge, a coax, a veiled threat, an invocation of fear. Gee, maybe I have a mental disorder and I dont even know it. It softens up the population. If you have a mental disorder, you should get diagnosed and treated. Otherwise, later on, you could go off the rails and commit a horrible act. Its inconsiderate and dastardly to stay outside the psychiatric system. With 300 official labels of such disorders, a shrink (dealer) will be more than happy to stick a label on you, and prescribe you a toxic drug to start you out. Lets try Ritalin and oh, youre feeling sad now because the drug made you crash?no, thats clinical depressionhere, take Zoloftoh, and now youre going up and down?thats bipolarhere, do a little Valproate But at least youre not a James Holmes. Whew. Avoided that one. And if DARPA or the National Institutes of Health says theyre breaking ground on a new brain-mapping project (only 750 trillion neurons to catalog and explain), youre on their side. Well, sure, nothing harmful about more research, go to it, boys, and bring home the bacon. Even the idea of using this data trove to control the mind doesnt sound bad. Of course we need to control it. Look what happened at Sandy Hook when we didnt. The extreme advertisement at work. Never mind that there is no laboratory test for any of the 300 official mental disorders. Just a minor glitch. Never mind that all the prescribed psychiatric drugs are toxic and some actually cause violent behavior (suicide, homicide). Youre going to see more statements about left untreated coming down the pipeline. As in: We can now manage mental illness quite well. But early-stage onset, if left untreated, accumulates and grows into something far more dangerous. So we need people to recognize signs and symptoms in themselves and others (snitch culture based on nothing). And in case you hadnt noticed, early onset can mean babies. Thats right. Diagnosis in younger and younger children is the trend. You thought your two-year old was staring out the window because he was, well, staring out the window? Not necessarily. He might be clinically depressed, in which case hes a candidate for drugs that can make scrambled eggs out of his neurotransmitters. But its all in the service of science, and ensuring he doesnt grow up to be a mass murderer. Yes, we have little Jimmy on Paxil. We as parents feel its the responsible thing to do. Hesdifferent these days, but our psychiatrist says hes making progress. You bet little Jimmy is different, and youre going to find out what that means later on. But dont worry, be happy. The shrink will assure you the bizarre drug-induced behavior is actually the spontaneous emergence of another mental disorder. And the State will stand firmly behind that shrink.

1	Aiming to provide attendees with an authentic glimpse into the nations space program, representatives for the U.S. Space & Rocket Center announced Thursday that its newly updated Space Camp will allow children to simulate the anger and mounting frustration experienced by NASA personnel over a continual lack of funding. Camp organizers explained that the redesigned education program will offer kids the unique opportunity to contend with all of the budgetary restrictions and bureaucratic red tape impeding the progress of actual astronauts and researchers, allowing children from grades four to six to immerse themselves in a true-to-life NASA environment in which financial shortfalls and endless procedural delays plague them at every turn. At Space Camp, each attendee experiences the trials of real-life astronauts who simply are not provided the resources they need to explore outer space, said director Deborah Barnhart, noting that campers get a firsthand look at what its like to pursue cutting-edge astronomical research on a budget that, when adjusted for inflation, is a mere fraction of what it was in the 1960s. Our campers endure constant setbacks throughout their week here, from engaging in spaceflight training modules that can be shut down at a moments notice, to working tirelessly on a solar probe project only to be informed that an across-the-board spending freeze has led to the indefinite suspension of their work. Kids will walk away from a week at Space Camp knowing exactly what its like to be an American astronaut, she added. Barnhart told reporters that the modernized camp offers attendees an array of hands-on activities that include designing next-generation spaceships, searching for virtual extrasolar planets, and building a robotic Mars rover, any one of which could be effectively derailed by an abrupt mandate that the research and development process be made more cost-effective. Additionally, campers will reportedly be able to sigh and throw their hands up in exasperation within a replica of the actual mission control room at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center after learning that a reconnaissance mission to scan for the presence of life on Jupiters moon Europa has been scrapped just weeks prior to the intended launch date. Program officials also highlighted their efforts to make the experience as realistically discouraging as possible by furloughing a significant number of campers immediately at the start of each weeklong session. We put camp attendees in the shoes of dedicated NASA scientists whose attempts to further scientific understanding through the analysis of asteroid composition are halted by one of our camp staffers playing the role of a U.S. senator targeting all nonessential initiatives, said counselor Tyler Campbell. When they take their seats in our mock congressional chamber, campers will work together to deliver an impassioned yet ultimately futile request for continued support of NASA until they have no choice but to stand up and leave, having just witnessed their lifes work go up in smoke. When you see the stunned expressions on these kids faces as they realize their goals and dreams are no longer attainable because of political pressures completely out of their control, thats when you know theyve gained a valuable understanding of our space program, Campbell added. Early participants in the new program have reportedly hailed the experience as eye-opening, with many describing their visceral disappointment watching satellite feeds of their Chinese and Russian Space Camp counterparts pursuing scientific endeavors that were eliminated in the U.S. years ago. Ill never forget what it was like to go to Space Camp and repeatedly attempt to convince the budget committee of the importance of our solar wind study so they would cancel the other teams projects and not ours, said 11-year-old camper Sara Andrews, who explained that she spent most of the week steadily reducing the scope of her simulated mission so that it would remain financially viable. Im just glad I wasnt working on the asteroid flyby project that was ultimately deemed too cost-prohibitive and was contracted out to a private aeronautics firm. The kids on that team just had to sit around and do nothing for the rest of camp. I cant wait to work at NASA when I grow up so I can constantly stress over limited financial resources and have my scientific projects canceled for real, she added. That is, if NASA even still exists then. 
3	Torture Victims Challenge Decision Not to Prosecute for Libyan RenditionsBy Reprieve MI6s then counter-terrorism chief Sir Mark Allen took credit for the kidnap operation in a fax to Gaddafis intelligence head Musa Kusa in 2004. The Metropolitan police launched an investigation in 2012after the document was uncovered during the Libyan revolution. Police handed the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) a 28,000 page dossier in 2014. However, the director of public prosecutions decided in June 2016 that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute any British officials over the affair, even though the CPS had found that the lead suspect, thought to be Sir Mark, sought political authority for some of his actions. The CPS refused to change its decision in August 2016 after a completing a Victims Right of Review in which noneof the victims were consulted. Abdul-Hakim Belhaj and Fatima Boudchar,who are beingassisted by international human rights organisation Reprieve, are now seeking a judicial review of the CPS decision. Mr Belhaj, an opponent of Gaddafi, and his pregnant wife Mrs Boudchar, were abducted in Thailand in March 2004 and flown to Libya. Upon landing in Tripoli, Mrs Boudcharrecalledthat, I never felt such terror. I felt weak, defeated and unable to protect my unborn baby. I thought we were going to be murdered. Cori Crider, the familys lawyer at the human rights organization Reprieve, said:Its sad that the CPS will aggressively prosecute journalists for misconduct in public office, but a top MI6 officer who helped render kids and a pregnant woman to Gaddafi walks free. Its sadder still that prosecutors felt victim families should have no role in the victims review. The familys view is clear. Justice was denied. The decision leaves the UKs security services basically exempt from British law. Thats why they are fighting it. Reprieve is a UK-based human rights organization that uses the law to enforce the human rights of prisoners, from death row toGuantnamo Bay.

2	Peyton Manning Contacts Police To Meet Military Wife Who Wrote Him A Letter Peyton Manning is known for going above and beyond to support his truest fans. This story of recent encounter with an Alaskan woman is sure to make youre day. Kristen Patterson and her husband Army Sgt. Ryan Patterson grew up in Indiana, where Manning used to play football with the Indianapolis Colt. The pair have been huge fans of the NFL star for some time now. Kristen decided to take a leap of faith and write Manning a letter asking him to say hello to her veteran husband. She did not actually believe that Manning would even read the letter, so you could imagine her surprise when she received a call from the Alaska State Troopers, attempting to locate her on behalf of Peyton Manning. As it turns out, Manning wanted to meet with the couple, but was unable to locate them. Pattersons letter had a huge impact on the star, who now plays for the Denver Broncos. My name is Kristen Patterson. I am writing to ask a question. You see my husband is a HUGE fan, and when I say HUGE I mean it. He is currently serving his country in the United States Army and has deployed twice to Afghanistan. He would set alarms to wake up at odd hours in the night just to listen to your football games. We recently had to move across the country for the Army and he tried to get us stationed in Colorado just so he could ensure he would never miss your games. We will be attending the Bengals vs. Broncos game on December 22, 2014, while home for the holidays, and it would mean so much to my husband if you might be able to find the time to just even say hello, not to mention it would make me the coolest wife ever of all time. I know you are a busy man, and if you cant, it will be ok. I just thought I might ask in the rare chance that you might agree to this. As it turns out, Kristen had neglected to include her phone number or any other contact information in the letter. Peyton Manning was determined to respond, so he asked his personal assistants to help track her down. Kristen and Manning were able to keep the meeting secret from her husband until the day before the Bengals vs. Broncos football game. You can imagine his surprise when he and his wife were escorted to a private conference room for a one-on-one meeting with the famous quarterback. What do you think? Are you a fan of Peyton Manning? 
2	30 Elections In A Row This Expert Has Predicted Who The President Will Be, And This Is Who Won... Professor Allen Lichtman of American University has made a name for himself by correctly predicting every presidential election winner since 1984. Tonight is the big night, and here is his analysis of who will take the presidency. Lichtman says he looks further than the daily news and polls to make his predictions, ignoring both his personal views and shifting demographics. Instead, he uses a series of true or false questions to select the winner. This year, he predicts Trump will take the presidency. Why? Trump seems to be expanding more than any president weve seen in recent years. He has gained immense support without any substantial experience in politics. Based on the 13 keys Lichtman defines, he predicts a Donald Trump victory. Clinton and her party have eliminated themselves by hitting six disqualifiers. What do you think? Will Trump take the presidency tonight?

2	Benghazi War Hero BLASTS Rosie And Meryl For Disrespecting Trump And Making Outrageous Claims About Courage Meryl Streep and Rosie ODonnell have been making headlines recently for their blatant disrespect of our president-elect. While their liberal peers are calling these women courageous, a real hero and survivor of Benghazi, Kris Paronto, is giving these ladies a lesson about what courage really is. In the last eight years, the office of the president has turned into an office of celebrity. Obama was so concerned with how many times he could be on The Jimmy Fallon Show and what he looked like on TV. He turned the position of Commander-in-Chief into a pop culture thing and pulled away from what the office of the president is all about leadership, Paronto said in an interview with Independent Journal Review. He went on to tell Hollywood actors just what he thinks of them. And you know what, youre a monkey and somebody is turning the crank, he commented. Youre here to entertain us. When youre gone, we dont give a sh*t, we will find another monkey to do the job you were doing. The only time I have a real issue with this at all is when these people are looked up at as role models. He then went after Meryl Streep and her Golden Globes speech directly. You know what, Meryl Streep, stop putting others down and go do something else, he added. Be like Pat Tilman, drop everything youre doing and put your life on the line. Robert DeNiro, you played a cop in the movies, go be a cop on the streets. The same principle applies to these other celebrities. You wore a uniform as a costume. Try putting one on to serve your country. 
1	Friends and acquaintances of Phil Yost are constantly giving him ideas for buildings, the 40-year-old architect said Monday. 'I was catching up with my old college roommate, who I hadn't spoken to in years, and he blurts out, 'What if you built a revolving hotel like they have revolving restaurants?'' Yost said. 'Do you know how many times I've gotten that?' In the past month, Yost has heard pitches for pyramid-shaped warehouses, retractable-roof golf courses, and 100-story, subterranean 'groundscrapers' that would be impervious to terrorist attack. 
1	Days after the accidental passage of a bill allocating $30 trillion in federal subsidies to soybean producers, a massive tide of the protein-rich legumes has flooded the nation, crippling transportation networks, commerce, and public utilities, and profoundly disrupting American life. 'Soybeans are everywhere,' Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Wednesday, noting that all 406 million acres of arable land in the United States have been converted to soybean cultivation as farmers sought a share of funds worth more than twice the gross domestic product. 'Many citizens have shoveled out their driveways only to find that schools and businesses have been shut down. Millions more remain trapped indoors as windblown soybean drifts cover entire houses.' 'For most, simply getting to the grocery store has become impossible,' Vilsack continued. 'Not that grocery stores have much in them besides soybeans at this point.' According to sources within the House Appropriations Committee, a misplaced decimal point deep inside the 279-page Farm Relief and Reform Act of 2010 increased the soy subsidy by roughly 1.75 million percent, precipitating the nationwide glut. Damage from the continent-spanning blanket of soybeanswhich ranges in depth from five feet in the nation's heartland to six inches along the coasts and in Hawaiihas been severe. All major metropolitan areas are reporting clogged sewers and streets; several counties in Nebraska have become invisible beneath towers of soybeans; and a dense patch in the Gulf states has begun fermenting into a thick, pungent soy sauce. Work and school days have been shortened by seven hours to account for longer travel times. Interstate 80 remains impassable between Wilkes-Barre, PA and Laramie, WY. 'Our search and rescue teams simply can't keep up with the number of citizensmostly children and the elderlywho have gone missing in the beans,' Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator Craig Fugate said. 'And frankly, we have no idea how to help the tens of thousands of Americans with soy allergies.' In response to the inundation, the Food and Drug Administration released a revised food pyramid Tuesday consisting entirely of soybeans and soybean-based products, as well as nutritional guidelines urging every American to eat eight servings of soybeans per hour. Additionally, a bill authorizing the immediate construction of a 120-mile-diameter National Silo in the Nevada desert appears to have almost universal support, but has nonetheless stalled in the House, where members have not been able to assemble because their chamber is filled from floor to ceiling with soybeans. In the Senate, meanwhile, efforts to repeal the subsidy have been held up by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), whose state now enjoys a median household income of $131 million. 'I'm not going to get into this silly debate about whether there are too many or too few soybeans,' said Grassley, standing chest-deep in the hulled oilseeds as he addressed the Iowa Soybean Association. 'The bottom line is this subsidy protects good, honest soybean jobs from being shipped overseas, and unlike my opponents, I choose to stand with American workers.' 'Besides, they're just so delicious,' added Grassley, shoving two heaping handfuls of soybeans into his mouth. 'Who'd want to make them go away?' With televisions showing images of families being rescued by helicopter from soybean- enshrouded rooftops, many Americans are comparing the crisis to the Great Dairy Surplus of the 1930s, which paralyzed the nation in a coating of rich savory butter. For some, however, the subsidy has brought prosperity. 'That soybean money really helped my business,' said 52-year-old Donald Tuttle of Danville, IL, the so-called Sultan of Soy, who with an estimated net worth exceeding $250 billion is now regarded as the most powerful figure in American industry, politics, and media. 'Used to be the only reward for a farmer's hard work was more debt. But look at me nowI just bought The New York Times.' 
1	Attorneys representing the Tribe of Abraham filed suit against God in New York's Southern District Court Monday, citing 117 specific instances of breach of covenant. Lawyers for the Children of Israel, who are suing the Lord for $4.2 trillion. The Israelites are seeking $4.2 trillion in punitive and compensatory damages. 'My client, the Children of Israel, entered into this covenant with the Defendant in good faith. They were assured, in writing, that in exchange for their exclusive worship of Him, they would be designated His chosen people and, as such, would enjoy His divine protection and guidance for eternity,' said Marvin Sachs, the Manhattan attorney bringing the suit on behalf of the Israelites. 'Yet, practically from the moment this covenant was signed, the Defendant has exhibited a blatant and willful disregard for its terms.' According to Sachs, the Israelites have not received the protection they were promised in the covenant. 'Despite the presence of numerous 'chosen people' clauses throughout this covenant, my client has suffered countless tragedies over the past 5,000 years, from the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem to the Spanish Inquisition to the Holocaust,' Sachs said. 'Does that sound like protection to you? Clearly, the Creator had no intention of honoring His legal and binding agreement with us from the start.' Continued Sachs: 'The covenant also states that the plaintiff is be entitled to all the lands of the Earth. This, too, has not occurred. Furthermore, it states that the plaintiff will become more numerous than the dust thereof. This has not occurred, either, assuming, of course, that the world contains more than 14 million particles of dust.' Sachs then produced a Torah scroll and said, 'I was raised to believe that this is more than just a piece of paper. What about Him?' Court officers visited the Defendant atop Mount Sinai early this morning, serving Him with papers and setting the legal machinery in motion. Though He has declined comment, lawyers in His employ have already cited multiple points of contention with the Israelite argument, questioning the authenticity of the thousand-year-old hand-inscribed documents and taking issue with the selection of New York, 'a city of Israelites,' as the trial site. A disputed section of the covenant, which promises the plaintiff divine protection and providence. Kevin Harrigan, chief legal counsel for the Lord, called a press conference Tuesday to read a personal statement from his Client. 'Where was Marvin Sachs when I created the Heavens and the Earth? Where was Marvin Sachs when I laid the cornerstone of creation, and all the morning stars sang together? Can Marvin Sachs bind the influences of the Pleiades and loose the bands of Orion? Can Marvin Sachs call forth the snow or the small rain or the great storm?' the statement read. 'He should not be so quick to sit in judgment, he who knows not the ordinances of Heaven nor their dominion of the Earth.' Added Harrigan: 'We'll agree to minor malfeasance. The Creator pays you a token $15,000 settlement, plus your filing fees, and we go easy on you.' Despite the Lord's confidence, the Israelites say they have a case. 'For 5,760 years, the plaintiff has honored their side of the contract, worshipping the Defendant with total devotion. But in return, they have gotten bupkes,' Sachs said. 'They trusted Him to protect them, and He threw them to everyone from the Egyptians to the Cossacks to the Nazis to the Palestinians. I'd have a hard time believing that anyone even remotely familiar with the plaintiff's history would argue that they're not victims of detrimental reliance.' Harrigan responded that God's case is clear under the provisions of New York's commercial code. 'We have yet to determine whether the Jews are arguing for the Covenant of Abraham, which covers homeland and birthright issues, the Davidic Covenant, under which they say they were guaranteed a Messiah, or some combination of the two,' Harrigan said. 'But one thing is clear: Standard assumptions for any legal contract in this district specifically state that the Defendant is not responsible for acts of God.' Continued Harrigan: 'I must also point out that the plaintiff has been given a homeland and offered at least one viable Messiah. If the plaintiff chooses not to accept them for whatever reason, it demonstrates that no meeting of the minds was truly possible and that they acted in bad faith, and the covenant is therefore rendered null and void.' Harrigan went on to note that the Lord has not ruled out filing a breach-of-covenant countersuit against the Israelites, claiming that they 'have failed to worship the Lord in an acceptably faithful manner.' Among the evidence cited: a 70 percent rise in interfaith marriage among Jews since 1900 and last year's turnout of just 36 percent at worldwide Yom Kippur services. As of press time, the Israelites were moving forward with their case, undaunted by the fact that the Supreme Deity has never lost a trial. 'My client has been searching for answers for a long time,' Sachs said. 'And they will continue to search for answers and seek the truthno matter what the cost in legal fees.' 
3	This is Why No One Trusts Govt, CIA Apologizes After Denying Torture HackEric Blair Today, the head of the CIA John Brennan apologizedfor hacking into US Senate computers to cover-up torture investigations, a charge he mockingly dismissed earlier this year. Using very political language the CIA admitted their officersacted improperly and inconsistent with the common understanding of sharing classified data, and Brennan was forced to apologize to leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee for the breach. Whats most striking about this apology, is that Brennan told a bald-faced lie about these very allegations in March at the Council on Foreign Relations when he said: As far as the allegations of CIA hacking into the senate computers, nothing could be farther from the truth. We wouldnt do that. I mean, thats just beyond the scope of reason in terms of what we would do. Brennan went on to predict, When the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong. Youll also remember when the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied to Congress about whether the NSA was collecting the phone records of millions of Americans: Clapper lied because he knew collecting phone records of Americans without a warrant is a violation of the Constitutional right to privacy. Now we know, thanks to Snowden leaks, that they do far more than collect phone metadata on innocent people. Clapper lied about invading our privacy and Brennan lied to cover up the CIA torturing human beings. These are the type of people who direct the government and society. Is it any wonder why less and less people trust these thugs? Recently byEric Blair

Yet, we keep hearing of terrorist plotting and recruiting time after time. In their most recent bust, the FBI sent in under cover agents to arrest ISIS recruiter Mufid Elfgeeh. This 31 year old man was the owner of a pizza parlor in Rochester, N.Y. He pleaded guilty on Thursday to recruiting people to join radical Islamic extremists in the Middle East. Elfgeeh used 3 Twitter accounts, 23 Facebook accounts, and a WhatsApp account to find on-the-edge radical supporters, and convinced them to join the fight. Elfgeeh had been recruiting since 2013, and is a naturalized U.S. citizen from Yemen. Elfgeeh connected these recruits with the right people and supplied them with thousands of dollars of equipment each to carry out their terror. However, two of these recruits were actually working with the FBI. Elfgeeh was arrested and wont be seeing the outside of a prison cell for a long time. Do you think our FBI has been doing a great job combatting terrorism? 
3	Awakened Humanity Should Be Thankful For Breaking Free From Mass MediaBy Bernie Suarez The recent inundation of lies and over-the-top propaganda intended to lead us toward World War 3, is so obnoxious and mentally repelling that truth seekers can easily make a choice to separate themselves for an entire day (Thanksgiving day) to reminisce how fortunate we are to not be plagued by these ongoing lies. If you havent thought of this, I want to invite all truth seekers to do just that on this Thanksgiving day. Lets turn off mainstream media and lets be thankful for the awareness we have about the world around us. Lets believe that there is a reason for the awareness. I believe humanity has a mechanism of self-preservation and we are the expression of that preservation. For that I am thankful today and so should you. For comparison, those who are not awakened on this Thanksgiving day believe that Barack Obama is doing everything he can to keep them safe from ISIS. They believe that Turkey was defending their air space in the recent shoot-down of the Russian jet. They even accept that on this Thanksgiving day, the ramped-up police state is the proper solution to the terrorism we see marketed on TV by the mainstream media. These enslaved elements of humanity are aimlessly living out their lives becoming further enslaved and divided amongst themselves with every day that they continue to feed their minds with mainstream media lies. As truth seekers we continue to show and share truth with these people, but nothing you can say will guarantee that these people will wake up. Therefore, the misery, confusion and ignorance that mainstream media believers live in should not be underestimated on this Thanksgiving day and should serve as a reminder that all of us could easily still be stuck in a similar mental enslavement. There is, therefore, no better day to be appreciative of the information and awareness we all share that allows us to be completely immune from the next false flag attack or 24/7 mainstream media scaremongering story. Its been said, sometimes you dont appreciate what you have until its taken away. So today, especially in light of the mayhem and confusion borne of continuous mass lies and deception from mainstream media, I am thankful to not be ensnared in the darkness and confusion the mass media puts out every day. Let us realize today that our unique resistance to Western mainstream media lies is one of the great gifts we share. It is unquestionably a source of life, a mental freedom and hope that only someone still bogged down in mainstream media lies cannot understand. I believe the gift of comfortably and seamlessly not believing mainstream media is becoming one of the secrets to living a rich and fulfilling life. Detachment from mainstream media itself is a source of energy that few even in the truth movement fail to fully contextualize. What that means is that it is becoming entirely impossible to believe mainstream media and be happy unless one resorts to cognitive dissonance and repression of information. If this is the case then the person is not truly happy, instead they are repressing what they believe to be true (mainstream media lies), hoping that the stories will eventually fade away. The happiness and mental freedom I speak about is not some special state of mind obtained through hypnosis or special self-help technique. Instead it is the mental freedom of seeing mainstream media propaganda and knowing and understanding in real-time that the information has a unique political purpose and is not a result of true journalism. As we give thanks, let us realize that regardless of what happens today, the immediate future can look grim. Grim because although the new world order is failing on many levels it is also responding to this failure with a more intense effort. Thus in some ways we are observing as the new world order tries to give birth. To use medical terms, hopefully that birth becomes a traumatic life-ending still-birth. There is a struggle going on and the stakes are getting higher. The oligarchs are undoubtedly unhappy that they are failing so they desperately attempt to keep up their proxy terror armies like ISIS because if ISIS is destroyed the new world order plans go with it. Lets harness this knowledge, expect the worse and hope for the best. Lets not be unrealistic about the dangerous world we live in and the stakes at hand. None of us signed up for this madness including the degree of ignorance and bliss on the part of most Americans.

Thank you, Bernie and selfnews Post! The main stream media reminds me of Judas in the Bible who betrayed the Truth and had him murdered for 30 pieces of silver. I wonder if all the prestitutes realize that their kids may suffer the consequences of lies that are being told to destroy our country. Thier benefit is temporary. From reading The Creature From Jekyll Island and the Synagogues of Satan, it has finally dawned on me that we have a socialist version of US and world history that masks the dark actions of international bankers starting with the Rothschilds in the late 1600s up through today. If we had the whole story of their greed and power driven wickedness in our history books, we would pull them from their mansions, run them through our favorite medieval tortures, then hang them and put their heads on pikes. Bush 41 once said If the American people knew what we just did they would hang us all I think it was in reference to a Rockefeller initiative and probably in league with the Sauds. Which is precisely why even today we dont know about the Bush family, the election of Obama, et al. To get Americas attention we would need a full host of snappy sitcoms and cop shows and retell the story every week for a few years before we got the attention of the disgusted, disinterested and disconnected American voters. And disgusted, disinterested and disconnected is exactly where the oligarchs want them You are right, nimbii. Just try to wake up the ordinary people regarding basic matters involving politics and good sense health information, and these people will not pay one second of attention to what you communicate. Yet these people will drop everything and spend big money to do whatever it takes to help rid their dogs/cats of fleas, thanks to a television commercial they see, yet they do nothing to help themselves. Thanks Dirty_Martini. It is a huge mistake to believe that Operation Mockingbird does not encompass the vast majority of alternative news sites and publications. Huge. Good article, but it overlooks the fact that the commentariat on left wing new media sites show every sign of being even more brainwashed than those who rely on mainstream media for information. kudos to all truthers may you find the path.

2	15 Year Old White Girl Attacked By Group Of Muslims For Fun According to reports, 15-year-old Danish citizen Nicole Zanlith was waiting for a taxi in the town of Marbella when she was approached by a group of North African Muslim immigrants. Without warning, she was attacked. The group of men slashed her face with a broken vodka bottle, blinding her in her right eyeand injury that will never go away. This is just one of many recent attacks against European women, who seem to be targets only for being beautiful and fair-skinned. Violence is escalating across the world at the hands of Muslim refugeesand the media seems to be doing everything they can to cover it up. The news report covering the incident did admit that the attackers were Moroccan immigrants, which is more than we can say for major United States outlets. But the report still does cover up the major issue. Rather than focusing on the crime at hand, the reporter went off on a tangent about a Disco serving underage patrons. What do you think? Are crimes like these too common and too serious to ignore? 
3	The Fight for Real Organic Food ContinuesAlex Pietrowski, Contributor On the positive side, however, most of us now have plenty of organic options, providing we know where to shop and how to find the good stuff. From fresh organic produce, to organic and compassionately farmed animal products, to a variety of delicious organic packaged foods, it is now easier than ever to eat healthy and stay away from unwanted pesticides, antibiotics, GMO ingredients, and synthetic additives in our food. And now that Proposition 37 in California to label GMO foods has been defeated by the food industry and a sleeping populace, it is more important then ever to know how how to access and support the organic food movement. In a big way, your life depends on it. Consumers must be prepared to demand and fight for high-quality organic options in our supermarkets, or we will be faced with a further degradation of production standards, questionable business practices, and conflict of interest matters. A recent issue raised by various organic food industry watchdogs has been the presence of conflict of interest that has influenced decisions on what food additives are approved for use in organic packaged products. US organizations, such as the Cornucopia Institute and Center for Food Safety, have recently raised the issue of Big Agra business encroaching on the independent oversight that the US National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) has over what synthetic items can be added to the approved National List. This list includes processed synthetic items and processes that are approved for use in organic packaged products. The following video from Cornucopia Institute provides a thorough overview regarding this issue: A conflict of interest question has been raised regarding who makes the decisions about what contractors and consultants conduct technical or TAB reviews of materials on the National List of approved organic ingredients. Currently, the NOSB does not hold the final decision in this; instead, the USDAs National Organic Program (NOP), the designated federal officer that participates in NOSB meetings, and the USDA Office of Ethics are said to carry an unethical influence over these decisions. The decisions of the NOSB significantly affect the direction of the organic industry and what synthetic items are actually considered acceptable organic food components. Questionable items are already approved, such as the food additive Carrageenan, which was re-approved for use in organic food processing as of the Spring 2012 NOSB meeting. Degraded carrageenan, which is present in all food-grade carrageenan, is classified as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Academy of Science in United States. Cornucopia Institute Who Owns Organic It can be quite shocking to realize that were at a stage of having a possible human carcinogen approved as an ingredient in our organic products. Perhaps as awareness of this grows, concerned industry players, consumers and government officials will implement new checks and balances to ensure that less conflict of interest exists in the NOSB in the US, and in similar organic industry authorities worldwide. Industry oversight will grow in importance now that most non-organic, all-American brands, many of which are supporting Monsantos no GMO labeling efforts, are the same companies that have been heavily investing in the organic industry over the last 15+ years. Some of the big food companies that have given money to the [GMO] anti-labeling cause also own organic brands, such as Kellogg Co., which owns the Kashi cereal brand, Dean Foods Co., owner of the Horizon organic dairy line and J.M. Smucker Co., which owns several organic brands. Wall Street Journal Heres a PDF of the top food companies in the US and their ownership ties to well-known organic brands (as of June 2009): http://www.cornucopia.org/wp-content/themes/Cornucopia/downloads/OrganicT30J09.pdf Click here to download a short video created by Dr. Phil Howard, Assistant Professor at Michigan State University about who owns some of the more well-known organic brands. How to Shop Organic Lets agree that buying food is much more complicated than it used to be, especially for the aware, health-conscious individual. There are more choices than ever, but these choices come from fewer companies. For shoppers, it is vitally important to understand the labeling process currently employed in the organic food industry. This is why people who want to label GMO foods are so passionate about this cause: labels are one of a few ways, if not the only way, that consumers can make informed decisions about what food they buy. The USDAs NOP offers some insight on its website about the labeling requirements of organic products, which can be viewed in the Labeling Organic Products PDF. Heres a quick video with Anne Lappe, author of Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen, offering an overview of how to identify organic foods in stores: In the video, Lappe mentions that buying organic produce is easy its either organic or not. But what if your organic produce selection is limited? Or youre on a budget, and shopping all organic is breaking the bank. Heres a quick review of what fresh produce is typically most heavily treated with pesticides and which is not: http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/summary/ Here is another article with some insight regarding organic dairy, meat and seafood. http://www.motherearthliving.com/food-for-health/what-we-eat.aspx Think Local If you already buy organic products or just want to eat healthier, dont get discouraged by this article. It is a resource. Take this opportunity to learn from the wealth of information available here, and start making even better food choices. In our world, it is difficult to be 100% organic. But there are ways you can move closer toward this goal. Support smaller organic food producers and local farms. Eat fresh and raw foods. Start an organic garden or become involved in a community urban farming project. And stay informed and educated, so YOU are the one who decides on what food ends up on your dinner table.

2	UNBELIEVABLE: Obama Opens 50 Million Dollar Luxury Resort For Illegal Immigrant Children Imagine yourself in a luxury resort. You have the opportunity to play tennis, relax in the sauna, or take a refreshing dip in the pool. If that is not appealing, you also have the option to take advantage of a picnic area with grills, or a top-of-the-line fitness center, equipped with nearly twenty machines. Think you have to win the lottery to afford such things? Ha! Apparently all you have to do is break the law. Thats right, according to recent reports, Obama has decided to invest nearly $50 million in a luxury resort, designed to house illegal immigrant children. The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is scheduled to be sold to Baptist Child Family Services (BCFS), who was recently awarded nearly $50 million for the purchase. Now, it appears that the Texas resort is going to undergo a remodel, in order to hold the never-ending inflow of illegal children. According to reports, the hotel is expected to be ready for illegal children ages 12 to 17 by the first week of October. The average stay at the resort will be around 15 days. The BCFS claims that they will need nearly 650 employees in order to run the resort effectively. According to them, the resort will serve as an intake facility.

3	Fed Raises Interest Rates for the First Time in a DecadeBy Joshua Krause And the Fed isnt alone. Central banks all over the world have been utilizing the same strategy of inflating their currency, and provided near zero interest rates. Thats because everybody wants stay competitive by keeping their exports cheap. Theyve been racing to the bottom for years, but now it appears that the bottom has finally been reached. Today Janet Yellen announced that the Fed would raise interest rates by a paltry .25%, in the hopes that such a small increase wont scare investors and bring volatility to the markets. This is the first time rates have been raised since June of 2006, which is an extremely long period of time to go without a rate hike. Yellen admitted that rates would remain low for the foreseeable future, but would be raised incrementally as time goes on. She further added at a press conference that Weve worried about the fact that with interest rates at zero, we have less scope to respond to negative shocks. Or, in other words, the Fed is shooting blanks. They cant inflate the currency any more without bursting our bubble economy. On the other hand, they know that raising rates will cause the bubble to deflate, since easy money is the only thing supporting it. Theyve been stuck between a rock and a hard place for a long time, and theyve just decided to take on the rock. Brace yourselves. The easy money train has made its last stop, and historys biggest credit expansion has reached its peak. Theres only one direction this economy could go from here, and thats down.

2	John McCain Puts Everything On The Line To Defy Corrupt Media... Reveals What He Really Thinks About Trump Not long ago, Trump stirred up controversy with comments that McCain wasnt a true hero. Rather than respond with outraged, McCain saw through the manipulation of the liberal media and recognized that he saw eye-to-eye with Trump on most issues. McCain was asked by reporters to defend a comment Trump recently made about veterans committing suicide because they are weak. This is kind of the classic example of the media feeding frenzy that is going on, McCain responded. The bias that is in the media. What he is saying is that some people, for whatever reason, and we really dont understand why, suffer from PTSD, and others dont, he continued. They see horror stories. They see events that you couldnt see in a movie, nobody would believe it. I know people who have suffered from PTSD. I never have. I have never had a flashback. I never had a bad memory; I never had anything but the greatest gratitude for the honor of serving in the company of heroes. The media has tried to argue that Trump blatantly called suicidal veterans weak. When you talk about the mental health problemswhen people come back from war and combat, and they see things that maybe a lot of folks in this room have seen many times over, and youre strong, and you can handle it, Trump commented. But a lot of people cant handle it. Do you applaud McCain for keeping a level head about this?

1	In an inspired act of film soundtracking, Paramount Pictures announced Tuesday that its forthcoming family comedy Twerps will feature the rock song 'Bad To The Bone' by George Thorogood. 'We feel the song will greatly enhance the scene in which the 12-year-old protagonist and his two pals go on a shopping spree and dress up as tough kids,' said Paramount executive Edward Wohl. 'As the children outfit themselves in leather, denim and sunglasses, the song's bluesy riffs and 'don't-mess-with-me' lyrics will provide the perfect backdrop to the kids' get-tough makeover.' Paramount also intends to use James Brown's little-known 'I Feel Good' for the film's closing-credits sequence, just after the lead character defeats the neighborhood bully in a climactic roller-hockey match. 
3	This Prank Proved That Americans Dont Read Past HeadlinesBy Heather Callaghan A social media April Fools prank spearheaded by NPR in 2014 is ironically drawing some reflection. This isnt one of those frustrating social media psychology tests without the users knowledge. It appears to have been a lighthearted joke and a thank you to readers. NPR posed a question with a link: Why Doesnt America Read Anymore? According to writer Jay Hathaway, commenters squawked: We totally do, NPR. Shut up. We read all the time. Were reading your articleright now! Which only proved that they didnt. Had they actually gone to the link on the NPR website they wouldnt have seen a story, but would have seen this message: If you are reading this, please like this post and do not comment on it, it says. But the social media post was heavily weighted with response-baggage, many of them paragraphs long, chiding NPR and defending their bookdiet trying to ward off perceived disapproval. But theydidnt read the article, did they? Some circles suggest that only 2 out of 10 people will read past the headline. Even though it was all in good humor, it actually unwittingly proved a few points both in the positive and something-to-think-about categories. Writers already know people do this its the frustration they feelwhen they visit their storys post to see if there are discussions, only to see mile-long arguments based on a faulty presumption of the headline. They know the person hasnt read the article before deciding a belief and that headlines invite rock-throwing. That seems to be par for the Internet course. But even worse Is to see people sharing something as though its the gospel, commenting on it and calling for action when you can clearly gather its a completely fabricated satirical headline. Unlike NPR, the satire sites and the malicious, fake websites are not making sure people finally get that it was a joke. Ive commented on threads about sources in hopes that the 12,000 peopleI saw sharefaulty posts did not throw literal rocks at the groups of people targeted in them. That is to say, please dont believe the fake church sign that suggestsMuslim Americans are about to jihad everyone in the U.S. For starters, have you ever seen a mosque sign? Yet, there is no shortage of amazing information; and, unfortunately, the nature of the beast requires that catchy headlines be chosen unless the writer wasthe Stephen King of article authorsand just thename could encourage a click. Its hard for any writer or site to vie for attention. Even then, people often dont read past the headlines. This fact merely shows that people have limited amounts of time in their day and theres nothing wrong with that. The NPR prank might show that people want approval and they want to argue before they know whats what, but it also highlights that people simply feel crunched for time. And this is a problem Its time to prioritize our lives if we want to take information to the next level. Its hard to delve deeper into understanding when time for reading is spread throughout the day over a phone. Wisdom would require understanding to permeate all areas of our lives. This is difficult but it requires batching your time, like what would be effective at work. Studies overwhelmingly show that multitasking is seriously unhealthy. Yet, we are compelled more and more to engage that way is this making us more disengaged at life? Reductionism Lastly, are we being compelled only toaccept communication in memes, bytes, blips, drips and drabs? Is Idiocracyhappening before our eyes? Unaware of what year it was, Joe wandered the streets desperate for help. But the English language had deteriorated into a hybrid of hillbilly, valleygirl, inner-city slang and various grunts. Joe was able to understand them, but when he spoke in an ordinary voice he sounded pompous and If so, wed be better off taking some time to have deeper discussions or time alone to reflect. Its impossible to ban together for better changes if we cannot even communicate ideas.

If the Headline matches the article then there is no reason to read it. Especially when the Headline is a lie. Because the HEADLINE is supposed to be a SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLE. And since they READ your headline it negates your joke. But many on the internet love to play the old bait and switch and then pat themselves on the back for their deception/satire. The other day a video game company(COD) released a commercial that looked like a real breaking news story. People thought it was real and didnt check the source. 
3	Promotion Given To Cops Who Shot Occupy Activist Scott OlsenBrandon Turbeville Olsen, readers may remember, was an Occupy activist and Iraq war veteran who was shot in the head with beanbag bullets by Oakland police in 2011. Olsen was only about fifteen feet away from the officer who shot him, fracturing his skull and sending him to the hospital in critical condition. Police also fired flash grenades at activists who rushed to Olsens aid and continued to assault the demonstrators as they attempted to drag Olsen to safety and provide him with medical attention. Olsen temporarily lost his ability to speak, perform basic motor functions, and concentrate adequately. While he has recovered the ability to speak, his speech is still slurred and his memory and concentration are still significantly impaired. Yet despite the fact that the City of Oakland was forced to pay out $4.5 million to Olsen in a settlement, the Oakland Police Department has now promoted two of the cops involved in the shooting. Even more concerning is the fact that one of the officers, Paul Figueroa, has been promoted to the position of Assistant Police Chief and is now the second in command of the Oakland Police Department. Roland Holmgren, a Sergeant with a Tango Team, a type of Oakland tactical squad consisting of five officers and one sergeant each, was also involved in Olsens shooting. Like Figueroa, he was also promoted. Holmgren was awarded the title of Lieutenant earlier in 2014. Still, Interim Police Chief Sean Whent, who had himself been head of the departments Internal Affairs division (which speaks volumes as to the worth and credibility of that agency), went forward with promotions for both Figueroa and Holmgren. East Bay Press also points out that Holmgren has quite the history of violence. As Ali Winston writes, Although the OPD conveniently botched the investigation of the shooting, Winston and other investigators were able to identify Officer Robert Roche as the individual who actually shot Olsen. However, while Roche was fired, the Alameda County District Attorney never filed charges against him. Neither did they file charges against the officers in charge, Holmgren and Figueroa. An Iraq war veteran, Olsen apparently believed that when he returned to the United States the war was over and he no longer had reason to be in fear for his life. Olsen mistakenly believed that he was returning to a free country. Unfortunately, Olsen did not fully grasp the concept that he was now in a new kind of war zone, one in which he now faced an enemy that was much more dangerousto American citizens than the insurgents he encountered in Iraq.

1	After noticing several news stories about the failing health of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, local man Spencer Gutowski, 45, struggled Monday to figure out if the death of Chavez was something he was supposed to be pleased about or not. Hes bad, right? I mean, Im pretty sure hes one of the bad ones, but maybe hes good? Gutowski told reporters, adding that he believes Chavez is a Communist, which, according to Gutowski, means he should probably want Chavez dead, although he is not entirely certain. Fidel Castro is bad and I want him to die, and I think Chavez is sort of like him, maybe. I also think Im not supposed to like Venezuela. But then again [President] Bush didnt like Venezuela, and I didnt like Bush, so... Sources later confirmed that Gutowksi asked if something at some point happened between the Venezuelan leader and actor Sean Penn in which Penn either ended up liking or not liking Chavez. 
1	Recoiling at the sight of the two coworkers waiting for them in the lobby, employees from local company Core Analysts stated Monday that their invitation to head out and grab lunch had somehow trickled down to the office weirdos. Crap, how did Joel [Seltz] and Matt [Heiser] hear about this? said office manager Evan Coss, mentally recalibrating his expectations for a pleasant midday meal at Buffalo Wild Wings with friends to now include a series of labored asides in which he would make cursory attempts to engage his two bland, awkward colleagues over mozzarella sticks. I sure as hell didnt tell them about thisthey must have heard Craig say we were meeting in the lobby at noon. Well, lunch is ruined. I wonder if I should just call it a bust, claim I have some work that needs to get out, and head back upstairs. At press time, Seltz could be seen further terrorizing his coworkers by saying that theyd have to go someplace with more gluten-free options. 
1	Despite having more than a decade of experience and being in fairly good physical shape, 32-year-old publisher's assistant Peter Graney told reporters Tuesday that he is inexplicably getting worse at sex. 'I don't get it,' Graney said following an awkward evening of intercourse with a coworker he has dated for the past two months. 'At this point in my life, I thought I'd be able to please a woman every time, no problem, but it's actually quite the opposite.' 'It doesn't make any sense,' Graney continued. 'I'm starting to think I might have been better at this whole thing back in high school.' While Graney has come up with a number of possible explanations for his noticeable declineincluding work-related stress, lack of interest in his last few partners, and an as-yet unknown phenomenon whereby a sexually active man loses all former prowess in the bedroom for no apparent reasonhe has thus far ruled each of them out. 'It's not like I'm rusty or something,' Graney said. 'Maybe I'm just overthinking it. I feel like I used to get in there and really go for it. But when I have sex these days, it's all stilted and weird. I'm just so confused. All I know is, I'm definitely not getting any better.' Graney, who has noticed a slow but steady drop in his coital skills over the past six years, maintained that he has no illusions about becoming 'some kind of sex master.' Still, the Atlanta native said he longs to attain a certain level of consistency and competence when it comes to carrying out the act of intercourse. Sadly, past experiences indicate that this may never be the case. 'After doing it for so long, it stands to reason that I'd eventually get a handle on how things are going to go,' Graney said. 'But it varies wildly. There are times when even I'm thinking 'When is this going to be over?' It's like I can't finish up to save my life.' 'And by now, you'd think I wouldn't have to worry about ejaculating too soon,' Graney continued. 'But nope. Every so often, I still totally jump the gun. When will I get some kind of control over this? I'm not trying to be Sting or anything, but Jesus Christ.' Graney cited other declining abilities, most notably in the arena of foreplay. By his estimate, the frequency with which he has been asked to stop performing cunnilingus or some other preliminary sex act due to his partner's physical discomfort has increased 22 percent over the past three years. Likewise, Graney's ability to appear comfortable and confident while being pleasured by his partner has decreased dramatically. 'I certainly don't remember ever having to apologize this much,' he said. According to Graney, the problem does not stem from a lack of discourse in the bedroom. In fact, he said he is adamant about keeping the lines of communication open with women he is penetrating. 'I'm always asking, 'Do you like that?' or 'How does that feel?' Way more than I used to,' said Graney, adding that he now believes less than a third of his sexual encounters over the past 18 months were satisfying to the women involved. 'But really, can you trust their answers to those questions, especially while it's all going down?' Though Graney remains certain that his carnal aptitude has diminished, a survey of all nine of his former sexual partners revealed that he has exhibited more or less the same level of sexual ability over the past 10 years. 'I really couldn't tell you if he's getting worse or not,' said a woman who slept with the Atlanta resident nearly four years ago and wished to remain anonymous. 'It was so bad the first time, I wasn't about to stick around for more.' 
1	Calling their undying commitment and grit a true inspiration, sources confirmed Tuesday that NFL fans across the nation have heroically persevered through recent adversity to continue watching football. It is nothing short of amazing that, in spite of all they have been through, millions of courageous men and women summoned the strength to watch nearly 10 consecutive hours of football on Sunday, said ESPN analyst Chris Mortensen, referring to the brave souls who, in the wake of such a tumultuous week, somehow soldiered on to cheer for touchdown after touchdown. Many assumed that sitting down and watching football would simply be too much to bear, and after enduring so much, no one would have faulted them for turning off the television and calling it quits. Instead, these gallant warriors showed us the very meaning of courage by viewing the CBS doubleheader and then the primetime games on Sunday and Monday nights. If only we could all be so strong. Mortensen added that, in the ultimate display of bravery and valor, these selfless heroes will likely do it all again next week as well. 
3	Disturbing report indicates Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs requests for a lawyer were ignoredMadison Ruppert While reports indicating that Tsarnaevs Miranda rights were being withheld were disturbing enough, this new aspect pointed out today by Glenn Greenwald is far worse. Apparently, Tsarnaev was Mirandized only because a federal magistrate decided to hold an in-hospital hearing for the suspect during which he was advised of his right to remain silent and appointed a lawyer. This hearing interrupted an interrogation that had lasted some 16 hours up to that point. The Mirandizing of Tsarnaev upset former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani who called it mind-boggling and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers who called the decision to intervene a God-awful policy. Yet even more insane is that the Los Angeles Times reported, A senior congressional aide said Tsarnaev had asked several times for a lawyer, but that request was ignored since he was being questioned under the public safety exemption to the Miranda rule. Greenwald points out that if this report is indeed accurate, it would be a much more serious violation of essential rights than delaying Miranda warnings under the public safety exception, even the expanded version pushed by the Obama Justice Department. The bottom line is this: not telling a suspect about his rights in order to try obtain brief, immediate and emergency public safety information is one thing, writes the lawyer writing under the name bmaz for Empty Wheel. Straight out denying and refusing a defendant constitutional rights he is legally entitled to, and has tried to invoke, is quite another. The government has issues on both fronts as to Tsarnaev. Invoking the public safety exemption to deny the right to a lawyer has only been accepted in cases where the intrusion into the constitutional right to counsel [] was so fleeting in both it was no more than a question or two about a weapon on the premises of a search while the search warrant was actively being executed, according to bmaz. Nothing whatsoever like the 16 hours of interrogation applied to Tsarnaev, across at least two sessions, over a period of at least two days, bmaz adds. Even the use of the public safety exception was dubious, according to law school dean Erwin Chemerinsky. The public safety exception does not apply here because there was no emergency threat facing law enforcement, according to Chemereinskys article in the Los Angeles Times. That issue aside, the possibility that Tsarnaevs requests for a lawyer were actively blocked by the government is far more problematic. This is a US citizen arrested for an alleged crime on US soil: there is no justification whatsoever for denying him his repeatedly exercised right to counsel, according to Greenwald. Even more troubling, Greenwald highlights the fact that the Los Angeles Times report indicates that if the federal magistrate did not force herself into the situation, the interrogation could have continued for even longer. That interrogation apparently would have continued along with the Miranda delay and the denial of Tsarnaevs right to a lawyer. Meanwhile, lawmakers are actually saying that the judge actually should not have stepped in. As of now, it appears that the only confirmation of the government ignoring Tsarnaevs requests for a lawyer come from an anonymous congressional aide cited by the Los Angeles Times. As such, it should be treated with a healthy degree of skepticism, yet the Los Angeles Times clearly believed the source to be credible and reliable enough to print the statement. Glenn Greenwald sums up the importance of this issue quite nicely. This is not something we can brush aside simply because its a suspected terrorist, a Muslim, etc. If you cheer when Dzhokhar Tsarnaevs right to counsel is denied, then youre enabling the institutionalization of that violation, and thus ensuring that you have no basis or ability to object when that right is denied to others whom you find more sympathetic (including yourself), Greenwald writes. Indeed, how this simple fact is overlooked is beyond me at this point. The promotion of the erosion of civil liberties for one person or group just guarantees that it can and will be expanded to cover others eventually. There is no reason to believe that the exceptions to our most essential rights cant be expanded to cover you as well.

This tradition has taken place annually since 1948. The Flags-In ceremony represents when both Confederate and Union soldiers decorated the graves of their fallen comrades after the Civil War. Over 1,000 soldiers participated ceremony, and every grave had a flag-in in a matter of hours. Do you support, and honor our troops on this weekend of memorial? 
3	Brazil Is Going To Block The NSAJeff Berwick He seems to underestimate the real damage: The NSA revelations are but another smear against brand USA in the global psyche, having done potentially as much damage as the Middle East wars started under President George W. Bush. Even US allies are implementing mechanisms by which to keep the US from eavesdropping. The Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff announced Sunday that the Brazilian government would be creating its own secure email system to shield official communications from spying by the US and other countries. We need more security on our messages to prevent possible espionage, Rousseff wrote in Twitter posts on Sunday. She ordered the Federal Data Processing Service, SERPRO, to design a safe email system for use throughout the federal government. The agency is currently responsible for developing secure systems for online tax returns and also creates new passports. Rousseff had earlier condemned spying against Brazilian government agencies attributed to the United States and Canada. This is the first step toward extending the privacy and inviolability of official posts, Rousseff said. After voicing complaints against US intelligence agencies to the United Nations General Assembly last month, as well as canceling a state visit to Washington, Rousseff announced that the country would host an international conference on Internet governance in April. Recently, Brazilian TV network Globo reported based on documents leaked by Snowden, Canadas Communications Security Establishment (CSE) collected metadata for phone calls and emails to and from Brazils Ministry of Mines and Energy. Rousseff announced last week that Brazil would host an international meeting with governments, businesses, NGOs, civil society, and academia in April 2014 on Internet governance. The Brazilian government is looking to go as far as laying an underwater fiber optic cable directly to Europe so as to avoid routing the countrys Internet connections through the US, while legislation to force US online service providers like Facebook and Google to host information on Brazilian citizens solely in Brazilian data centers is also being considered. NSA in Need of New PR Arm General Alexander thinks this is all a big misunderstanding, and the result of mismanaged public relations on the part of the NSA. The New York Times reported Oct. 12 that General Alexander acknowledged that the NSA had failed to respond effectively to the revelations brought forward by Edward Snowden, the contractor who stole thousands of documents about the NSAs most secret programs. The way weve explained it to the American people, he said, has gotten them so riled up that nobody told them the facts of the program and the controls that go around it. The disclosures, Alexander assured, had enabled adversaries such as foreign governments or terrorist organizations to learn how to avoid detection by American intelligence and had caused significant and irreversible damage to national security. Of course, General Alexander wont just come out and tell Americans the truth. The NSA totalitarian spying capabilities the kind which the Soviets could only dream about has nothing to do with protecting Americans and everything to do with monitoring and controlling them. Thats why we have been urging Americans to leave now. Its only a matter of time before the currency controls are put in place, quickly followed by the closing of the borders. As it is right now, the NSA is already gathering evidence from every email, phone call and online or electronic transaction to have a SWAT team sent to your door.

1	Director James Cameron told Variety yesterday of his intentions to write and direct the Academy Awardwinning Titanic's companion film, Iceberg, which will be told completely from the infamous chunk of frozen water's point of view. 'Nobody ever talks about the iceberg's side of the tragic sagahow it formed millions of years ago, eventually became a glacier, then calved off the Arctic ice shelf and floated away into the Atlantic Ocean toward its rendezvous with death,' said Cameron, adding that the three hour hour film will begin with the evaporation of liquid water, transition to snow falling and freezing, and include the most expensive gradual ice cap formation sequence ever filmed. 'It's a nature vs. man struggle on an epic scale. The world needs to hear this story.' 
2	Justice Scalia: The Supreme Court Is Now A Threat To American Freedom The Supreme Court caused both celebration and outrage when they announce their 5-4 decision on Friday to make same-sex marriage a constitutional right in 50 states. Now Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has come forward to claim that the decision is a dangerous threat to democracy. I write separately to call attention to this Courts threat to American democracy, he wrote, just one day after he dissented a decision to uphold Obamacare. Todays decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in factand the furthest extension one can even imagineof the Courts claimed power to create liberties that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention, Scalia continued. This practice of constitutional revision (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves. What do you think of the courts decision? Is it a violation of our rights?

2	While Everyone Was Focused On Hillary And Trump, Obama Quietly Did This President Barack Obama made history last week when he nominated the first Muslim-American to serve as a federal judge on the U.S. District court for the District of Columbia. According to reports, Obama claimed Abid Riaz Qureshi would serve with integrity and a commitment to justice. Qureshi was previously working for the law firm Latham Watkins, where he focused on health care fraud and securities violations. He graduated from Harvard Law School in the late 90s. I am pleased to nominate Mr. Qureshi to serve on the United States District Court bench, Obama said in a statement about the nomination. I am confident he will serve the American people with integrity and a steadfast commitment to justice. If the nomination is confirmed, Qureshi will officially be the first Muslim-America to serve as a federal judge in the nations capital. Hell have to pass through the U.S. Senate first, which has decided not to make any decisions on judicial nominations until after Obamas term ends in January. What do you think of his choice? 
1	Sources within the Cafferty household confirmed that at approximately 8 a.m. Friday the family awoke, peered out their kitchen window, and saw what was, unmistakably, the first lady of the United States kneeling in their backyard garden and humming softly to herself as she tended to a patch of heirloom tomatoes. 'Look, she's wearing a big gardening hat, and I think she's planting kale or something,' whispered Adam Cafferty, 43, who at one point made prolonged eye contact with Michelle Obama before she smiled broadly and returned to pulling out weeds. 'That cucumber plant was definitely not there before. How long has she been out there?' Upon standing up and surveying her work, Obama reportedly gave the Caffertys a friendly wave, calmly walked around to their neighbors yard, and began working on the next garden.

'I was driving past my local Carpetworld and noticed that, for some strange reason, there were no sale signs in the window,' said Blake, who arrived at the store 10 hours after the Sizzling Spring Sellout Sale ended and 14 hours before the Everything's 30 Percent Off Carpet Clearance Blowout Bonanza was scheduled to begin. 'That made me extremely curious, so I went in to check it out.' Encouraged by the success of the Blake transaction, Carpetworld is planning a week-long 'Regular Daze' non-sale event, featuring added costs for carpet pad and installation, as well as nothing of interest for the kids. 
1	In order to improve their 3-10 record, the last-place Memphis Grizzlies requested permission from NBA officials yesterday to take two weeks off so that they may practice their ball-handling skills, lay-ups, and passing. 'Our inbound plays need a lot of work, and the majority of my guys don't know where they're going in our zone press,' said head coach Mike Fratello, adding that the extra time will allow him to go over film for their December 16 game against the Miami Heat. 'We also need to get on the same page in terms of knowing what the difference is between our 'Motion 1' and 'Motion 2' offense.' According to Fratello, if his request is granted, the first thing he will do is gather his players at half court and show them what a triple-threat position is.

People are saying the word innovate at a rate of 8.2 times per second, and at that pace we can estimate it will be uttered approximately 24 million times before the festival ends, said SXSW coordinator Lucas Bryant, who noted that the phrases increase social engagement and potential game-changer have been said 950,000 times and 230,000 times, respectively. Additionally, were charting a higher-than-expected usage of such standbys as interactivity, convergence, and paradigm. And I suppose it goes without saying that the numbers for shifting media landscape have been through the roof. Bryant additionally confirmed the absence of the less common phrases investment model, practical business strategy, and economic realities, which together have been mentioned a total of zero times.

2	Walmart Forced Vet To Remove Hat, And Then The UNTHINKABLE Happened Patriot Lee Young encountered something outrageous at a local Walmartan incident that speaks volumes about the double standards in place in America. In a recent Facebook post, Young described how he was at a Walmart in Okemos, Michigan, when he saw and elderly veteran humiliated. But when he saw a Muslim employee get away with nearly the exact same thing, he decided to take action. Now, his post has been shared more than 77,000 times. So for the past however long I can remember there has been a older gentleman by the name of Val who is a greeter at Walmart, began. This man is a Veteran and very proud to be, he continued. You dont need to know him or even speak to him, although I thank him for his service every time I see him, because he illustrates his pride through the highly decorated Veteran baseball cap he wearsorused to wear. That is, until his employers told him he could no longer represent his country. One day as I walked in I noticed a bright blue Walmart hat on his head with all the military pins that once adorned his worn out faded military cap and I asked him about it, Young recalled. We both had tears in our eyes as I wished him a blessed day and shook his hand before I left. His reply was simple and full of hurt, corporate will not allow me to wear that hat anymore while on the clock, because it goes against the dress code. That incident made Young angry enough to avoid Walmart whenever he could. But he was furious, when a while later, he came into contact with a Walmart employee who was doing something similar: (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3'; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); share if this bothers you as much as it did me..Okemos, MichiganIts long but I promise its worth the read. Posted by Lee Young onSunday, December 13, 2015 One of our own who signed his life away to protect our freedoms and homeland cannot wear his simple old hat but this woman can wear a headscarf proclaiming her love of the Muslim culture and her dedication to Allah!? Young wrote. Kiss my a** Walmart!!!! What do you think of Youngs post? Does this make you furious as well?

There are so many unanswered questions about Obama, and we probably wont have information we need until he is out of the White House.

3	Big Sis Says Cyber Attack WILL Bring Down Power Grid: When Not IfThe power grid as we know it is destined to fail, if you believe the authorities. Who will be there to pick up the pieces and patch it back together? Outgoing Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano issued an open letter to her successorwarning that a cyber or physical event that knocks out the power grid will occur and it is not a question of if but when. Notoriously known as Big Sis for her role at the Orwellian mega-agency, she claims the supposed imminent event will pose challenges to all aspects of life, and make powering homes, providing food and facilitating transportation difficult. Napolitano seems so sure, one wonders how she knows that such a catastrophe is not only possible, but sure to happen, as she prepares to officially leave office September 6th. ABC News reports: The outgoing Homeland Security Secretary has a warning for her successor: A massive and serious cyber attack on the U.S. homeland is coming, and a natural disaster the likes of which the nation has never seen is also likely on its way. These are not Napolitanos first comments on the subject; instead, theyve been a frequent an unnerving talking point. Watch the video: To that end, FBI terrorism experts operating under the Homeland Security umbrella arestaging a massive emergency drill dubbed GridEx II [PDF] for grid takedown scenarios in November that will include North America-wide agency officials, including those from Mexico and Canada. What is clear from both Hurricane Sandy, 9/11 and other events such as Hurricane Katrina is that the typical response to from governments is to soak up massive amounts of funding while hampering actual relief efforts through late and inept management of disasters. While anecdotal evidence like the FEMA office closed due to weather in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and many aspects of the delayed and deadly Hurricane Katrina response make this travesty abundantly clear, a recent GAO report has made this conclusion official. CYBER ATTACK LIKELY TO TAKE DOWN GRID The nations outdated power grid has spurned expectations that is vulnerable, which for some experts, seems to beg an attack. House Democrats issued a report in May 2013 claiming not only that the power grid was vulnerable to cyber attack, but that it faced threats on a daily basis. One utility cited in the report incredibly [as in, without credibility] claimed that it faced 10,000 attempts at a takedown per month. Rep. Ed Markey, who co-authored the House Democrats controversial Climate Bill in 2010 that would have taxed carbon dioxide and imposed new regulations on many aspects of ordinary life played to the dangers, stating With one well-placed keystroke, Americans could be plunged into darkness and chaos through the damage to our electric grid. Markey emphasized the the threat of attack by foreign armies, adding Foreign enemies are employing Web warriors to attack our way of life, and its time that our actions respond to the potential threat. Now, security experts are warning that bank and utilities (with power grids chief among those utilities) could be targeted for take down by Syrian or Iranian hackers in retaliation for strikes on Syria (the New York Times and Twitter take downs have already been attributed to the Syrian Electronic Army). A story hyping the threat even quoted the dreaded former Homleand Security chief Michael Chertoff, who has profited handsomely off of post-9/11 security measures, including Rapiscan body scanners whose implementation he lobbied for as a former security official in the wake of the attempted terror attack by the Underwear Bomber patsy. The line between national security and private security is eroding, said Chertoff, founder of a Washington consulting company. It is a reasonable concern to be prepared for the possibility of some kind of retaliation asymmetric retaliation if we take action in Syria. In 2009, the NSA embroiled in an ongoing controversy over its illegal surveillance was granted authority over US CYBER COMMAND which monitors cyber activity and conducts offensive strikes, as well as defensive maneuvers in a globalized and electronic world. Another possibility for taking down the grid involves Electromagnetic Pulse weapons or EMP. Boeing and the Air Force U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory successfully tested an EMP missile over Utah last year as part of the Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP). QUI BONO? A NEWER, SMARTER GRID WAITING IN THE WINGS A massive power grid failure would negatively affect almost everyone, for sure. But failure is expected, and there are those, as with all disasters, who stand to benefit from it often via contracts and construction costs. Under this scenario, smart grid and green energy proponents who are in the process of implementing smart meters and other features of the coming new system which will tie massive amounts of analyzable tracking data to power usage at the household and even appliance level could indeed benefit from the rebuilding. In fact, the current grid is considered inadequate for the needs of the designed intelligent power grid that will facilitate two way communication and advanced monitoring, much less electric-powered vehicles. The National Grid company website explains: A smart grid is an intelligent electricity distribution network that uses two-way communications, advanced sensors and controls, advanced meters, and computers that can help reduce customers energy use, improve the efficiency and reliability of the electricity grid, facilitate the connection of distributed generation facilities to the system, and optimize the integration of renewable energy systems. It also includes in-home energy management systems and intelligent controls in appliances [] We expect the Smart Grid to play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, especially in how it can facilitate the connection of large amounts of renewable energymore than is possible with the current electricity distribution system. It is also expected to be an important enabler for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, two promising technologies that can help dramatically reduce oil consumption. [emphasis added] According to the Environmental Defense Fund, an environmental group whose president attended to the 2012 Bilderberg meeting, this means new investments will be needed to fund the new infrastructure. And, course, people will have to agree to the new plans: New investments are coming: An estimated $1.5 trillion will be spent upgrading our electric grid infrastructure over the next 25 years. But how should it be spentbuilding ever larger versions of Edisons machine? [] The alternative is building a smart, green grid that maximizes efficiency and reduces waste. This country is going to spend a ton of money upgrading the grid, says Jim Marston, EDF vice president for energy. The question is whether we just replace the old system or create a new one open to innovative, clean technologies. [emphasis added] Smart Grid: IBM Energy Efficient Smart Grids for a Smarter Planet These statements and others like them make clear that for the newer, smarter grid to emerge (and allow the behaviorizing of society to accelerate), the old power grid must fall. With the widespread claims of frequent attempts at taking it down via a cyber attack, disabling these utilities would be believable enough, even if it werent clear who the real perpetrators were.

1	Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said in a press conference Friday that the Seahawks would be one of the biggest surprises of the 2011 season, as the team is entirely made up of bad secret weapons. Tarvaris Jackson is going to surprise everyone with his play in our losses this season, tight end Jamison Konz is a threat to make crucial mistakes from anywhere on the field, and no ones even going to see Charlie Whitehurst cominghes that bad, said Carroll, adding that the team may soon unleash fullback Eddie Williams, a little-known third year player with no actual playing experience who will undoubtedly perform terribly in key short-yardage situations. Defenses will just have too much to account forthey wont know where their next easy sack, high wobbling interception, or unforced fumble is coming from. Carroll said he was excited to see all the terrible players get their chances to screw up, but revealed his idiotic, poorly-thought-out game plan is the teams best-kept bad secret weapon. 
2	What Obamas Daughters Just Did To Him Is Unbelievable [VIDEO] Barack Obama celebrated the traditional Thanksgiving pardoning the turkey ceremony. Regrettably for him, he brought along his teenaged daughters, who obviously have nothing but contempt for this tradition. Sasha and Malia didnt even make the smallest effort to hide their contempt for their fathers ceremony. During their Obamas speech, Sasha, 13, and Malia, 16, can be seen in the background rolling their eyes, showing how much they did not want to be there. Looks like even Sasha and Malia are over their father! A reporter asked Malia if she wanted to pet the pardoned turkey, the teen simply responded nah. Many saw this as disrespectful towards the president, but also a disrespect of our American traditions. 
2	BREAKING: House Formally Votes To Hold Obama Accountable For Abuse Of Power The House of Representatives have just cast a majority vote to hold President Obama accountable for his role in trading five Taliban terrorists in release for army deserter Bowe Bergdahl, without the support of Congress. The presidents move was both controversial and illegal. The law, which was passed by Obama himself, requires that the President give Congress a 30-day notice before releasing any prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. And while Obama may have tried to justify his actions during the scandal by claiming that he was trying to never leave a soldier behind, Congress just simply isnt buying it. In a 249-163 split, with 22 Democrats supporting the vote, the House determined the Obama will face consequences for his actions. Clearly, the American people are not the only ones who doubt that Obama cares anything about the well being of our soldiers. What do you think? Are you excited to see the House stand up for what is right? 
3	Marylands Bit Part in Homeland Security TheatreBy Jack Mullen Driving around the State of Maryland (State slogan: The Free State) one could get the impression he or she has passed into an alternative universe where the State had morphed into a dystopic, Orwellian-Jumbo-Tron surveillance state complete with big screen outdoor billboards advising citizens to be ever vigilant of possible terrorist activities and encouraging citizens to report any suspicious activities they might observe. Orwells 1984 can be viewed as the Bible of Tyranny, Mind Control, and Scientific Enslavement. The entire book is an explanation of todays manufactured false reality, culture and expression of a totalitarian State supported on fear; a mind crushing, thought controlling, humanity limiting, IQ damaging, containment cube, squashing the life and potential out of the citizen while confining the soul to a prison of impossible self-actualization. The State of Maryland and other states now under the control of nationalist hating, Constitution ignoring, One World Government promoting, agents of a foreign occupation force are participating in a giant psychological operation (psy-op) trying to give credibility to the phony terrorism narrative being pushed on the public mind by the Usurped Federal Government. The narrative pretends America is under attack or soon will be under attack by an independent, self-organized, and funded, terrorist group or groups. The manufactured Hollywood-style fake narrative is a word salad of mind bending, self-contradictory emotional sound bites crafted by Intelligence Agency think tanks and peddled to the public by monopoly owned, globalist funded propaganda media and their supporting actors including states like Maryland, New York, Missouri, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts and numerous others. These states are occupational beachheads, fire-bases, for multinational occupational forces now fighting a hot war of words, propaganda and violence on the battlefield of the mind in America. Beginning long before the Hollywood illustrated, mainstream-propaganda media corroborated, multinationally coordinated, staged mass murder sold as non-state created terrorism called 9-11 (using psychological mockery connecting the national emergency telephone number (911) with the scripted attack on September 11, 2001), there has been a deliberate effort to consolidate the control of planet Earth under the power of a single global tyranny, a New World Order, complete with a single government, a single religion, single culture and finally a single race of hopelessly enslaved people. The New World Citizen will be classified as less than human and s/he will be seen and treated as an animal in this Brave New World. But it was 9-11 which brought to the TV driven collective consciousness of Americans the idea that well-funded, independent, philosophically motivated hordes of terrorists had targeted the United States (because they hated our freedom) for random and continuous attack. The ever concerned for our safety de facto United States Federal Government immediately jumped to protect Americans by launching a War On Terrorism. But, in fact, this was a psychological War On Americans using State-created terrorism as a tool of subjugation, political control and justification for further attacks on Liberty and important tenets of the US Bill of Rights; especially the right to own firearms, the right to privacy and the right to free speech. For the modern American, especially those younger than say 45, understanding and benefiting from school delivered history lessons is not possible. Much of what is taught as political history in high schools and colleges since the 1960s is pure political fiction presented in support of a political system of thought; as in any war, the victors write the history books. To subvert the organic Constitutional Governments of the United States of America and reform Americans understanding of what America means called re-education by agitators seeking the deconstruction of a society the usurpers are resorting to the ages-old tactic of creating a continuous and tiring state of emergency using repetitious fear and State-supported terrorism. Terrorism: A system of government that seeks to rule by intimidation. Unlawful acts of violence committed in an organized attempt to overthrow government. Funk Wagnalls New Comprehensive English Dictionary So, we are told to expect terror and, using the East German Stasi perfected model of enlisting citizens as junior intelligence officers, If you see something say something and report anything suspicious, the State begins the process of repetitively propagating fear into the battlefield, the real battlefield being, of course, the minds of citizens. A two-year study published in 2012 by the U. S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee Investigative Report revealed something any awake American already knew: The Department of Homeland Security, using over 70 so-called Fusion Centers and Despite reviewing 13 months worth of reporting originating from fusion centers from April 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010, the Subcommittee investigation could identify no reporting which uncovered a terrorist threat, nor could it identify a contribution such fusion center reporting made to disrupt an active terrorist plot. In fact, Of the 386 unclassified HIRs that DHS eventually published over the 13-month period reviewed by the Subcommittee investigation, a review found close to 300 of them had no discernible connection to terrorists, terrorist plots or threats. HIR (Homeland Intelligence Reports). The Committee, however, noted many attempts to create the illusion of terrorism to support the role of Fusion Centers, according to an article entitled, Homeland Security gathers crap intelligence and spies on Americans [A]: In an article found on Wikipedia titled, FusionCenter we learn more about the crap perfidiously professed as terrorism. The real questions which emerge from this report and others supporting the same conclusion are: What is the real purpose of DHS and their police state surveillance apparatus? According to an article called, The Hidden Role of the Fusion Centers in the Nationwide Spying Operation against the Occupy Movement and Peaceful Protest in America published by GlobalResearch at globalresearch.org: In the articles conclusion: In a particularly telling episode of Jesse Venturas, Conspiracy Theory, Former FBI special agent, Mike German, explains that DHS Fusion Centers are actually Targeting people for the political beliefs, he further states Fusion Centers have no oversight and The Federal Government doesnt manage these operations nor do they oversee them. German enters the video at about 6 min. here : After 9-11, the country was introduced to a Soviet communist sounding agency called the Department of Homeland Security. Since its creation in 2003, DHS has mushroomed with power because of sweeping consolidations of existing agencies and organizations within the Federal Government placed under the DHS umbrella. FEMA, previously an inept federal agency, created in 1979, charged with handling national and state disasters, was absorbed, as was the Immigration and Naturalization Service, all things Border, including the Border Patrol, Customs, the TSA, and many other agencies were swept under the rug of DHS. With more than 220,000 direct employees and affecting millions of indirect employees, such as police and other first responders, DHS is a monstrosity of an organization consuming well over $50 billion dollars per year (this is only direct funding, not derivative funding and off-books funding) and facing almost no oversight by any organic Federal Government Office. DHS is a PhD thesis in management bad practice, a growing and out of control, self-serving monstrous organization which feeds and grows on fear; DHS must have terrorism and disaster to live. The State of Maryland is a primary beneficiary of the largess of DHS, since the agencys hundreds of thousands of employees live in and around the State of Maryland. It is easy to see how money and power can corrupt State officialdom leading to cancerous growths of malignant organizations whose demand for resources is so intense entire societies can be converted into fodder feeding the irrational requirements for the survival of this megalomaniacal, self-serving, vampire in the house. What about ISIS and Al Qaeda? According to historian and author Webster Tarpley, The Islamic State is a secret army of the United States and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a leader of the terrorist group, is a close friend of US Senator John McCain.. According to Tarpley, author known for his book, 9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA, .. all terrorism around the world is created and facilitated by the US government. According to a new book called, The ISIS Conspiracy: How Israel and the West Manipulate Our Minds Through Fear by Canadian writer Brandon Martinez: Martinez fills in the blanks with history of American and Israeli created false flag terrorism in order to promote a political agenda, both in the Middle East and at home in the minds of Americans. Continuing from a paper called, The Destabilization Doctrine: ISIS, Proxies and Patsies, Martinez concludes: This senile ISIS vs. The World spectacle is little more than a melodramatic screenplay engineered in a boardroom by professional propagandists and marketing aficionados. It resembles a classic problem, reaction, solution dialectic of deceit. Who in their right mind believes the rancid mythology surrounding this orchestrated good vs. evil Hollywood blockbuster? Staged Terror Now Part of Life World War One and Two were battles pitting the forces of Empire, Currency, Capital, Globalism, a single world government, single religion and single color and creed against a lost voice championing nationalism, true multicultural expression through preservation of the Earths human races and for the right to practice religion of choice, maintain tradition and defend biological uniqueness of race and culture. It was just a few years ago, 2009, when the State of Missouri manufactured its own Orwellian fear fantasy naming traditional American activities and heroes as terrorism or terrorist. This fear laden, hysterical document was a blueprint for creating a false and dangerous narrative in support of a modern, criminal police state pretending traditional Americans and American heroes were bogeymen and the States and Law enforcement arms of the State were good guys; clearly an inversion of reality. Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) issued a report entitled, The Modern Militia Movement indoctrinating the Missouri Highway Patrol with the Orwellian idea white Christian groups, people supporting Ron Paul, nationally recognized Pastor Chuck Baldwin and regular Americans opposing gun control and illegal immigration and the Private Federal Reserve Banking Cartel as people who should be considered possible members of domestic militia groups posing threats to the Missouri Government. The idea that any of the groups mentioned above would be dangerous to a Legitimate State Government in the United States of America is, of course, absurd. The question then becomes: What message is Missouri signaling about the legitimacy of a state government which would fear those seeking a return to the rule of Law as set forth in the Supreme Law of the Land, the United States Constitution? The message is: Missouris State level government, like Maryland, New York, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut and others have been captured and are now occupied by people and ideas and an agenda HOSTILE to the Constitution and the core philosophical underpinnings of America. Missouri is not the only occupied state in America where State-supported and facilitated terrorism is created to support a false narrative. Many examples of false flag American governments supported or facilitated terrorism against Americans exists. In Connecticut, for example, large portions of the State Government including the State Police and the State School Board and county and local officials were involved in the not yet fully exposed Hoax called , The Sandy Hook School Shootings. This fantastic lie and perpetrated hoax obviously involved help from the State Government and the Federal Government and was given legitimacy by the so-called mainstream media which failed to investigate the incident while parroting the silly narrative spewing forth from officials regarding what happened at Sandy Hook. More information about the Sandy Hook real investigation can be found here : http://www.sandyhookjustice.com/ Other recent incidents of sold-as-terrorism but suspiciously appear to be a false flag, State-facilitated, terrorist activity include (in no particular order) : The Right to Self-Defense Much of the State-sponsored terrorist activity in the United States, including mass shootings at schools and other public places, is about the long-standing agenda to disarm Americans. America is among on a handful of nations remaining on Earth where the right to self-defense is enshrined and protected by the Supreme Law of the Land and where people can own modern and efficient weapons for self-defense. In all but a just a few countries, the controllers (some people call the Globalists) have disarmed the people so only authorities can have weapons. It is profoundly important to understand that a right to self-defense is a Natural Law, a universal axiom noting existence persists only if it can be protected. The controllers acknowledge the universal axiom but, consistent with a psychopaths intent on controlling, they intercede with a middleman, the do-gooder pretension, insisting they can act as your agent and manage your self-protection. In fact, they claim you are an impediment to your own and others safety if you are allowed to protect yourself and they will attempt to use dangerous force against you if you resist. The middleman gambit is a ruse, a con, a grift, a lie. Maturity is signaled when a person becomes self-responsible. Transferring responsibility is sign of immaturity, childishness or an acknowledgment which self-responsibility is no longer possible under a particular set of life circumstances. Self-responsibility is not possible for children and for the very elderly or totally disabled, but all other people are capable of, and must exert, self-responsibility or a middleman will show up and claim your responsibility and make you part of their collective (collection). After you have abrogated your self-responsibility you will have then transferred the conditions of your life to chance, whim and puffs of smoking dreams. Pay attention to those middlemen as they circle your island of self-responsibility and self-determination, pandering the fears of the tax-supported houses of collective protection, because they are coming for dinner and you are the meal. When Americans give in to fear and surrender their weapons, then only fear will remain forever. Humanitys Last Chance The world is protected by the American Second Amendment, so if and when Americans surrender their right to protect themselves against all forms of aggressors, especially criminals dressed as public servants, then Americans will be no longer have any power to rise up and take back their country and no power to stop this worldwide takeover of all nations being gathered into the darkness of a worldwide collective. For a historical understanding of what is coming, it is important to understand the message and meaning of the Bolshevik Revolution and the Red Terror which raged and devoured Russia and many parts of Europe during the early 20th century. Make no mistake: The Red Terror is still energized, organizing, waiting and ready to deliver vengeance in the most bestial fashion to America. America will be dealt with in the cruelest way because Americans believe they have a right to stop Communism, and a right to self-determination and self-responsibility and self-defense; when these howling ghouls come as collectors, the worlds last chance before the long dark night is the Spirit of America. Terrorism as defined by U.S. Code Title 22, Ch. 38 para. 2656f states: We must ask ourselves, who are the terrorists really? Waking up to this plan and seeing it without glasses of fear and the inculcated sycophantic worship of State Authority is vitally important if Americans expect to save their country, preserve their individuality, culture, race and intellectual strength of mind.

1	According to an EPA study conducted in conjunction with the U.N. Task Force On Global Developmental Impact, consumer-product diversity now exceeds biodiversity. An example of the planet Earth's rich abundance and seemingly limitless diversity of consumer products. According to the study, for the first time in history, the rich array of consumer products available in malls and supermarkets surpasses the number of living species populating the planet. 'Last year's introduction of Dentyne Ice Cinnamint gum, right on the heels of the extinction of the Carolina tufted hen, put product diversity on top for the first time,' study chair Donald Hargrove said. 'Today, the Procter & Gamble subphylum alone outnumbers insects two to one.' The sharp rise in consumer-product diversitywith more than 200 million new purchasing options generated since 1993comes as welcome news for those upset over the dwindling number of plant and animal species. 'As more and more species fall victim to extinction, we face a grave crisis of decreased diversity, not only in America but across the globe,' Hargrove said. 'But the good news is, these losses in biodiversity are more than offset by a corresponding rise in consumer-product diversity. Though flora and fauna are dwindling, the spectrum of goods available to consumers is wider than at any time in planetary history. And that's something we can all be happy about.' Scientists are calling the current decrease in biodiversity one of the worst episodes of mass extinction in the Earth's history. The rate at which species are currently vanishing approaches that of the 'K-T Event' that ended the Age of Dinosaurs 65 million years ago and resulted in a loss of 76 percent of the world's species. The current era of biodiversity depletion, however, is unique in that it is the first mass extinction to occur in conjunction with an expanding industrial society, and thus, the first in which consumer-product availability can function as a 'balancing factor' to help keep global diversity thriving. An example of the planet Earth's rich abundance and seemingly limitless diversity of consumer products. 'Any healthy system needs diversification in order to flourish,' University of Chicago biologist Jonathan Grogan said. 'Any complex system, whether we are talking about the Amazon Rainforest or the Mall of America, needs a rich array of species/products if it is to survive. That is why, in light of the crumbling global ecosystem, it is increasingly vital that we foster the diversification of the global marketplace by buying the widest range of consumer products possible.' According to Grogan, because of the interdependent nature of systems like the Amazon Rainforest and the Mall of America, the disappearance of any one species/product can lead to the disappearance of countless others. 'The extinction of the Borneo hooded tern was an indirect result of the disappearance of the native species of sea snails upon which it fed,' Grogan said. 'This kind of vicious cycle, once begun, is impossible to contain. Fortunately, though, the process can function the same way in reverse: The successful introduction of a new item can lead to additional items later on. For example, the proliferation of Love My Carpet-brand carpet cleaner in hall closets across America would not have been possible without the introduction of the affordable, easy-to-use Hoover 5.0 upright vacuum cleaner. And thus, the cycle of life goes on.' According to science writer David Quammen, much of the rise in consumer-product diversity is a direct result of the decrease in biodiversity. 'When a species vanishes, the world loses not only that species, but the wide range of highly specialized physical and biochemical functions that species served. These ecological losses necessitate the creation of new, synthetic products capable of serving the same functions,' Quammen said. 'So, for example, when we lose a strain of microbe that filters the water we drink, we compensate by developing the amazing Brita water filter, with its patented filtration technology. When we lose a plant in the jungles of Indonesia whose berry bears an extremely rare nutrient, we develop in its place fruity, fun-to-eat Flintstones chewable vitamin supplements.' Read the EPA report: 'The planet Earth stands on the brink of one of the most devastating global extinctions in history. By the year 2040, nearly two-thirds of all current species will be extinct. Rainforest habitats that were once lush canopies of life, sustaining millions of highly specialized and interdependent species of plants and animals, have been reduced by upwards of 95 percent in some areas. Thankfully, however, retail outlets which, as little as 50 years ago, were the domain of only a handful of basic staple goods, have evolved into lush, highly developed supermarkets and department stores with a nearly limitless abundance of consumer goods.' Environmental and business leaders cheered the report's optimistic findings, but they warn that consumers still have their work cut out for them. 'As our ecological resources continue to disappear, we must all do our part,' Quaker Oats CEO Reuben McCall said. 'That means diligent, conscientious commitment to increased consumption of new products. If these products are not bought, nobody will manufacture them. And if this were to happen, the damage to the precious diversity of our consumer landscape would be disastrous.'

1	Less than two months after frantically excising any allusions to terrorism, network executives are scrambling to add terror-related storylines to TV shows, sources reported Monday. 'We're working around the clock to squeeze in a special episode where a Libyan with ties to Al Qaeda threatens to blow up the D.A.'s office,' said Law & Order producer Dick Wolf, who on Sept. 15 scrapped an episode of the NBC drama in which a character utters the word 'bomb.' 'We've got to stay on top of this thing.' Next week, Spin City, which last month pulled an episode featuring a shot of the World Trade Center, will air a 'very special' one-hour episode in which Mayor Winston is infected with anthrax. 
2	Muslim Refugees In UK Lose Privileges To Welfare According to recent reports, the European Union has started offering Britain an emergency brake rule that could help curb immigration from other EU states. The measure is part of a reform package that is being presented on EU membership, sources claim. The proposal would give any state that feels its welfare system is under excessive strain a right to deny benefits to new workers arriving from other EU countries for up to four years. Many EU leaders are wary of the proposal, claiming that it risks conflict with the citizens treat rights. Prime Minister David Cameron is set to discuss the proposal in Brussels with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. Junckers institution would ultimately be responsible for initiating such legislation. If the two leaders agree, the broader package of EU reforms could be approved by Cameron in an upcoming meeting with European Council President Donald Tusk. The majority of the other proposals in the package have already been agreed upon. Tusk is expected to circulate written proposals to the remaining 27 EU governments at the beginning of this week. The issue is aimed to be resolved at the next EU leaders meeting on February 18. 
2	Black Teens Brutally Smash Girls Face With A Brick For Being White Recently, a 19-year-old female college student was randomly attacked by a group of five black teens, and ended up being beaten with a brick. According to reports, the Temple University student was walking around Philadelphia when she was approached by a gang of girls between 14 and 17 years old. The girls were attempting to create a flash mob and were encouraging bystanders to join in as they continued the assault. The group went on to attack three other people. All of the girls have been arrested and are now being charged with aggravated assault, terrorist threats, simple assault, and reckless endangerment. They are being tried as adults. Predictably, the story is being ignored by the mainstream media. What do you think of the incident? 
2	Do you think this is hilarious? Livid Host Of The View Quits On Live TV And Then THIS Happens [VIDEO] Rosie Perez started cohosting The View at the beginning of the fall. Now, shes cancelled her final appearance after an outburst that occurred last week on live television. The issue arose when Kelly Osbourne attempted to attack Donald Trump, and ended up attacking the entire Latino population. If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump? Osbourne asked. Oh, thats notoh no! Perez jumped in. Latinos are not the only people doing that. The show cut to commercial break, and executives at ABC demanded that Perez apologize to her co-host. After much hesitation, she agreed to apologize at the end of the show. Then, she stormed to her dressing room. Of course, the executives at ABC werent satisfied, and they asked Perez to tweet an apology to Osbourne. When she gave in, she received extraordinary backlash from the Latino community. She and the ABC executives had it out. She was yelling at them at the top of her lungs and their demands were disrespectful, one source from the show told reporters. They were telling her that she better do exactly as they said. It was an ugly scene and Rosie was crying uncontrollably and outraged. Finally, Perez had had enough. She decided to leave for good, telling the executives to kiss her a** on the way out. ABC had already fired her technically when they didnt renew her contract, the source continued. She had nothing left to lose by not coming back. She may have missed a few days pay, but to walk away with her dignity is likely far more important for Rosie in this situation. What do you think? Did Perez do the right thing here? 
1	More than a year removed from public office, former vice president Al Gore and his wife Tipper are enjoying the best sex of their lives, the happy couple reported Monday. 'For far too many years, we didn't have time to really focus on us,' Gore told Matt Lauer during an interview on Today. 'Between raising the kids and running for office and everything else, there always seemed to be something that took precedence over romance. But now, with the kids all grown up and a job that doesn't take up every waking moment of the day, I can finally enjoy some nice moments of intimacy with my beautiful and, dare I say, sexy wife.' Gore said that in the past 12 months, he and Tipper have 'rekindled the flame of passion' in their marriage, taking time each day to lavish attention and affection on each other. Citing one such example, Gore said that last Friday, he came home from a speech at the American Bar Association's annual convention to find Tipper waiting for him in the bedroom in a lace teddy with a rose between her teeth. She then handed him a book of 'love coupons' redeemable for a variety of sexual favors. 'It's that sort of spontaneity that keeps things exciting in a marriage,' said Gore, lovingly stroking his wife's hair. 'And, believe me, things were pretty exciting that night.' Added Tipper: 'Al can be a real tiger.' According to Gore, the frequency of his sexual activity with Tipper has increased significantly in the past year. 'I must say I'm very satisfied with our current volume of lovemaking,' said a visibly relaxed Gore. 'Did I say satisfied? I meant overjoyed. In fact, things are so good, I may have to seriously rethink my plans to make another run for president in 2004!' Though she admitted she's 'never been much of a thrill-seeker in the sex department,' Tipper said a number of her recent intimate encounters with her husband have involved an element of risk: On Feb. 25, she said, the couple 'got amorous' just moments before an endorsement appearance for South Dakota senate candidate Tim Johnson. A week later, they coupled during a cross-country flight to California. 'Forgive me if I blush, Matt,' Tipper told Lauer, 'but Al and I actually made love about half an hour ago, right before coming on this show.' Despite their current inflamed passion, the Gores said their sex life did not instantly reignite upon departing Washington last year. 'After losing the election, Al was really depressed for a while,' said Tipper, a longtime crusader for mental-health issues. 'With depression, as you may know, there typically comes a loss of sexual appetite. Over time, though, he gradually realized that this was a good chance to rediscover parts of himself he'd forgotten. That's when we began our sexual re-awakening.' Not since Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter left the White House for Plains, GA, in January 1981 has there been such an upswing in post-Executive Office coitus. 'Things are less hectic, but it's not like we're loafing around doing nothing,' Tipper said. 'Al's been doing fundraising for his political action committee, and I've been busy speaking at Democratic fundraisers, as well as continuing my work as honorary chairwoman for the National Mental Health Awareness Campaign. But in no way does any of that diminish our desire to spend a romantic evening together in a bubble bath, surrounded by scented candles.' Added Gore: 'The difference between our current work lives and the way it was before is that now we come home energized. Our work keeps us apart just enough to heighten our passion. It's a great feeling, coming home from a fundraiser all pumped up and being able to transfer that energy into carrying my wife to bed and letting nature take its course, if you know what I mean.' 'It's like right after we were married all over again,' a flushed Tipper said. 'I don't want to get too specific, but some of the things we've done would cause quite a scandal in Washington circles.' Exchanging smoldering glances, the Gores ended the interview and disappeared backstage. 
1	Engrossed by the competitive games odd rituals and strange rules, Americans across the country reportedly expressed fascination Wednesday upon discovering the bizarre Olympic sport of hockey. From what I can tell, its this weird foreign ice sport with a lot of sticks, but its really interesting watching everyone chase after this little black disc, said Bellevue, NE resident Lucas Castillo, 32, who was captivated by the strange intermissions when a loud siren blared, the competitors left the playing field, and a mascot entertained the crowd by driving a funny vehicle on the ice.I can kind of follow it, but I never really know whats going on. Players try to put the disc in the net, but they have to avoid crossing weird lines on the ice or something. Its one of those things thats fun to watch during the Olympics, but its easy to see why it hasnt caught on like handball. Despite their mild interest in the sport, Americans unanimously confirmed that theres no way hockey could ever gain widespread popularity in the United States. 
1	A real-life Grinch was found Monday in Fredonia, where, unlike his fellow residents, Josh Baum refuses to celebrate Christmas. 'I'm looking forward to a nice Hanukkah,' the Yuletide-shunning misanthrope said. 'We'll be lighting the same menorah that's been in my family for generations.' Baum would not comment on the possibility that spontaneous Christmas caroling would cause his small heart to grow three sizes. 
3	National Security Is No Excuse to Restrict Our Right to Defend OurselvesBy TJ Martinell For gun grabbers, its a clever way to get both sides of the aisle on the same page. Forone side, it provides an opportunity to finally get unpopular (and ineffective) gun control measures passed. For the other side, the ban makes them look respectably bipartisan and tough on terrorism. I use the word look instead of be tough on terrorism because this idea is just more of the same rhetoric weve come to anticipate from the federal government and its apologists; proposals that infringe on the rights of innocent peoplewhile failing to solve a problem it created in the first place. From a purely practical view, the concept relies on the feds actually knowing who the terrorists are and accurately identifying them. It seems their suspicions need fine-tuning. According to The Intercept, almost half of the people on the feds database of terrorist suspects are not connected to any known terrorist group. This kind of ban provides the convenient precedent for a future president to simply place anyone they dont like on the watch-list or no-fly list in order to restrict their gun rights. If this were to occur, apersoncan have their right to keep and bear arms stripped from them without any kind of trial or means of recourse based solely on the secret discretion of a few individuals. Just as the IRS is used as a weapon against political opponents, these lists could be used against anyone who poses a threat to a would-be tyrant. If youre a regular reader here at the TAC, that probably includes you. Even if youre not, sooner or later someone who be in charge you oppose or who doesnt like people such as yourself. Needless to say, the federal government has no authority in any way whatsoever to restrict the right to keep and bear arms. If a person is suspected of a crime, the matter should be investigated. If sufficient evidence is found indicating a crime has been committed, then the person should be arrested, charged with the crime, and tried. Only after theyve been found guilty in a court of law do they forfeit anyrights. Our rights are not lost by mere suspicion. They are not contingent upon whether or not other people exercise those rights lawfully. We should not be silenced or censored because others libel or defame. Likewise, we do not lose our right to keep and bear arms because someone else used their guns to commit murder rather than self-defense. The arguments we hear today about keeping guns out of the hands of suspected terrorists is no different than the discussion about putting innocent Japanese Americans into internment camps after Pearl Harbor. No matter what the Supreme Court decidedafterwards, the decision was not just unconstitutional. It was more than a waste of military resources when they were needed elsewhere. It was an egregious violation of the rights of innocent people. The Japanese internment set a terrible precedent that remains today, and might very well be used by a future president. Its at times of crisis that our liberties are endangered the most because its then that people are the most willing to give up those rights for the sake of national security. What they dont realize is that we are most safe when we are free. Once our rights are surrendered for temporary security they are never returned, and the security promised by the agreed price fails to arrive. Think carefully about what rights you consider worth surrendering for a false promise of national security. TJ Martinell is a Seattle-based reporter and author of the Orwellian novel The Stringers.

Orlando, Paris, Sandy Hook and many other shootings were staged in order to promote the globalist agenda I hope and pray that one day all of the participants would be hold accountable.. Yes, ACCOUNTABLE Im with you. No way was Orlando real. Sandy Hoax was laughable. Now get this. On the day of Sandy Hoax the DHS was doing a drill eleven miles away in a town called Carmel, N.Y. Guess what the DHS was drilling for on the very same day and time Sandy Hoax was unfolding? You guessed it, the DHS was drilling for an active school shooter. Now here is another little tidbit. Sandy Hoax and Carmel, N.Y. are right on Interstate 84, a modern highway. Yup. Especially when hostile legal and illegal immigrants who have committed many heinous crimes are roaming free. there can be no national security if there is no personal security Americas National Security IS THE REASON for the 2nd Amendment; and secondarily the liberty of its people . Near as I see it the entire Usurped States from the house to the senate to the no-name potus and the 1st queen are all complicit and should be put on the list. 
2	Kim Kardashian Packing Her Bags With Kayne After Trump Does This According to reports, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are threatening to leave the country once and for all. Rapper Kanye West has long threatened to leave the United States, citing racism in the country as his driving force. West claims he does not want to raise his daughter in a country where she will have to face these same issues. Kanyes threats stem from an incident that took place when Kim Kardashian was entering a medical building in California. A teenager outside of the building called Kim an n-word lover. When he was confronted, he went on to threaten Kims life. Sources told Hollywood Life that after the disturbing confrontation, West just held his daughter. He told me man to man you know Im dreading the day Ive got to break this sh*t down to North and tell my little girl how f**ked up the world is, the source told reporters. I dont ever want her to go through what her mother did today. Kanye allegedly backed up this claim by saying his family could afford their own Island and hed be damned if I raise my daughter around ignorance and flat-out blatant racism. These threats seem to come in between Kanyes promises to run for president in 2020. 
3	Russian Aggression Prevention Act Seems Designed to Provoke Russian AggressionBrandon Turbeville Of course, this paranoia has been developed and crafted by the propaganda mill of Western media outlets and NATO governments designed to establish a new Cold War with Russia and, eventually, a much hotter one. Thus, while evidence of Russias guilt surrounding the Malaysian flight, which is based entirely on YouTube and Twitter, is being repeated ad nauseum on Western media outlets, members of Congress are by no means going to be left out of the action. Indeed, before the drums of war can even begin to beat loudly enough to be heard by the general population, American Congressmen are seeking to craft legislation that will enable that war to take place as soon as possible. Such is the case with Senate Bill 2277, also known as The Russian Aggression Prevention Act. Many aspects of the bill, while unreasonable and provocative to say the very least, rank among relatively weak and ineffective platitudes such as the imposition of asset blocks and sanctions against Russian individuals and their family members of Russian government officials, supporters of the Russian governments policies, and Russian corporations involved in some way in the implementation of the Russian governments Ukraine policy. Other areas of the law, however, are much more dangerous. This is the same ABM system that caused such friction between the US and Russia under the Bush regime as the systems are designed solely for the purpose of eliminating Russias nuclear deterrent capabilities. This section of the bill also provides for increased funding for Poland and the Baltic states and for the increased cooperation between the United States and Germany on global and European security issues. Title II is a bit more aggressive, however. Entitled Deterring Further Russian Aggression In Europe, Title II provides for the implementation of sanctions against Russia if the Russians do not meet the unreasonable requirements of withdrawal from Crimea. Further sanctions are also provided for in the event of any further phantom Russian Aggression. Title II would also provide for financial and diplomatic support for Russian Democracy and Civil Society Organizations. Of course, one can clearly translate this Russian Democracy and Civil Society Organizations to mean the NGO, color revolution, and destabilization apparatus which was used in the Arab Spring, and the string of People Power revolutions across Eastern Europe in the late 90s to mid 2000s. Indeed, this is the same apparatus that was responsible for the Euromaidan Ukrainian color revolution which set the wheels in motion for confrontation with Russia over Ukraine to begin with. This color revolution apparatus is currently stationed all throughout Russia waiting to come alive at the proper time. Only recently, during the tenure of President Putin, has Russia taken any steps to remove some of these organizations from their positions of stealth and power. Title III reaffirms American support for democracy and civil society organizations in countries of the former Soviet Union but adds to that the further extension of military and intelligence assistance to Ukraine. This part of the bill would fast track the export of American natural gas exports in order to counter the growing European and Eurasian energy dependence on Russia. It should be noted that the increase in drilling and fracking for natural gas was sold to Americans as something that would reduce American dependence on foreign oil. Instead, as many researchers and commentators pointed out early on, Americans will be forced to pay higher energy pricesfor the purposes of fighting a proxy war between the United States and Russia. Title III would also put Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia on track to become NATO members, a highly aggressive political and military maneuver that will undoubtedly serve to provoke Russia to immediate action. This part of the bill would increase broadcasting inside Russia, also known as propaganda, albeit a slightly different form than the propaganda broadcast to the American audiences who never seem satisfied with the amount of entertainment provided to them by the ruling class. As Paul Craig Roberts writes, Putins bet was reasonable and responsible, but Europe has failed him. If Putin does not use Russian power to bring an end to the problem with which Washington has presented him in Ukraine while he still can, Washingtons next step will be to unleash its hundreds of NGOs inside Russia to denounce Putin as a traitor for abandoning the Russian populations in the former Russian provinces that Soviet leaders thoughtlessly attached to Ukraine. Roberts continues by stating that As Steven Starr explained in a guest column, there are no winners of nuclear war. Even if the US escapes retaliatory strikes, everyone will die regardless. The view in Washington of the neoconservatives, who control the Obama regime, is that nuclear war is winnable. No expert opinion supports their assumption, but the neocons, not the experts, are in power. The American people are out to lunch. They have no comprehension of their likely fate. Americans are an uninformed people distracted by their mounting personal and financial problems. If Europeans are aware, they have decided to live for the moment on Washingtons money. What life is faced with is a drive for hegemony on the part of Washington and ignorant unconcern on the part of the rest of the world. Americans, worked into a lather about Washingtons unfunded liabilities and the viability of their future Social Security pension, wont be alive to collect it. Roberts is exactly right. Except, of course, for the fact that the Neo-Cons are mistaken to believe that nuclear war is winnable. While the experts might agree that it is not, the experts are looking at the problem from the point of view of national boundaries and national populations. The truth is that the true war being waged does not originate with the nation state, it originates from the world oligarchical ruling class and it is being perpetrated on those down below. The Neocons are indeed experts in the art of war and world confrontation. They simply do not care whether or not the little people survive the coming world confrontation. In fact, that may be the point after all. Recently by Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

3	Who Has Crossed The Red Line?Dave Hodges Which Side of the Red Line Are You On, Mr. President? There is an old saying which reminds us that when we are pointing our finger at somebody, we have three fingers pointing back at us. In the case of Barack Hussein Obama and the Syrian crisis, this appears to be the case. Obama has failed to convince the UN Security Council on the chain of custody for the chemical weapons attack in Damascus last month and, yet, he is still attempting to attack Syria. No international consensus by this President but he still desires to kill tens of thousands of innocent Syrians. Who is crossing the Red Line now? Obama and the CIA backed al-Qaeda, the terrorists who, if we are to believe the official government stories, killed 3,000 Americans in the 9/11 attacks. Yet, Obama supported al-Qaeda in the role in the overthrow and murder of Gaddafi for failing to capitulate in bowing down to the Bank of International Settlements and becoming a debt ridden nation like most of the rest of the world. Who crossed the Red line in Libya, Mr. President? More than 100,000 Syrian people have been killed, with nearly 7 million people uprooted from their homes. U.N. officials estimate that 5 million have been displaced inside the country while another 2 million have fled to neighboring countries. The total carnage amounts to nearly a third of Syrias population, which was 23 million before the fighting began. At the heart of this two-year-old revolution is the CIA backed al-Qaeda. Without CIA backing for al-Qaeda, there would be no revolution and all the aforementioned people would still be alive today. Who crossed the Red Line here, Mr. President? Mr. President you are having your lackeys dust off the old reasons to justify the war in Iraq and applying these same excuses to Syria. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, March 23, 2003 on the eve of the Iraq war, before the House Appropriations Committee stated that The oil revenues of that country could bring between $50 and $100 billion over the course of the next two or three years we are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction and relatively soon. Now John Kerry is making the same exact claims about Syria. Wolfowitzs war that was going to be financed with Arab assets cost the US taxpayer more than one trillion dollars. Obama stooge, James Carville, recently said that Bush was to blame for what is happening in Syria. If Bush is that despicable in the eyes of the Democrats, then why are Obama and Kerry dusting off Bushs old and untrue excuses to justify war in Syria, a war that will be financed by Arab resources? In light of the fact that your people are trying to lie the American people into war under false economic pretenses, Mr. President, who is crossing the Red Line? Mr. President, anyone with an IQ over room temperature knows that attacking Syria and then Iran is all about preserving the Petrodollar. The coming war has nothing to do with chemical weapons. It has to do with oil. Amazingly, Mr. President, you have help in the mainstream media regarding the role that the preservation of the Petrodollar is providing for your apparent motivation to attack Iran who is selling its oil for gold instead of the American dollar (i. e. the Petrodollar). Mr. President, you think you may have pulled off a clever ruse in order to justify your action against Syria along with mainstream media complicity of silence over the Petrodollar issue. I find that incredible since I have written about this since last fall and you can access the proof in the following article. I have over a dozen articles to choose from on my website, alone. http://thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/01/13/petrodollar-scam/ In light of the fact that these issues have been in the discussion for 9 months, and you continue to ignore the central role that the Petrodollar is playing in this conflict, who has crossed the Red Line now, Mr. President? Mr. President, your lackey, John McCain, stated that if Congress votes no on a resolution calling for U.S. intervention in Syrias civil war, the resulting fallout would be catastrophic for Americas credibility in the world. Mr. President, are you saying, through John McCain, that you are willing to kill tens of thousands of innocent Syrian people to defend your pride? Mr. President, who has crossed the Red Line, now? Mr. President, you make much of the fact that chemical weapons were used in Damascus. However, you have failed to prove that Assad is responsible. The presence of chemical weapons does not implicate anyone without direct proof, which your people cannot offer. Who from the United States was responsible for the chain of custody of the laboratory analysis which would implicate Assad? Where was the laboratory analysis conducted? What independent party oversaw the analysis? Since the NSA can spy on anyone at anytime, why did your people not discover the intention of Assads people to use chemical weapons, in advance, and go public at that time in order to prevent loss of life through exposure? Why should we take the word of your personal spokesman, former I got caught by Jerome Corsi lying about my role as a Swift boat commander in Vietnam, John Kerry? Mr. President, Assad would have known that using chemical weapons would have invited your intervention. His forces were holding off the rebels that your administration has funded through the CIA as funneled to al-Qaeda. The rebel forces (al-CIAeda) could not hold out hope for victory without US intervention because a stalemate had been obtained and this chemical weapons false flag event perpetrated by the CIA, and the invocation of the use by the US military is the only way that balance of power could be tipped in favor of your CIA? This is a war crime, Mr. Obama. Mr. President, who has crossed the Red Line here? The Real Red Line Mr. President, isnt true that Valerie Jarrett, your Chief of Staff, was dismissed by Mayor Daley for her role as one of the biggest slum lord queens in Chicagos history? Didnt Jarretts extended family marry into the communist Weathermen Ayers family? Who crossed the proverbial Red Line here, Mr. President? Didnt former Weathermen leaders Bill Ayersand his wife Bernadine jail bird Dohrn launch your political career from their living room in Hyde Park. Doesnt Bill Ayers, the mastermind of the murder a San Francisco policeman and planner of a terrorist attack upon the Detroit police, according to Larry Grathwohl, still visit the White House? Isnt it true Mr. President that you were bred by communists in order to conduct a communist type takeover of this government? Can you name even one policy, Mr. President, that is in the best interest of the American middle class? Who has crossed the Red Line here Mr. Obama? Mr. President, didnt you and Hillary Clinton conspire to let Ambassador Stevens be murdered by al-Qaeda forces to cover the fact that your administration supplied arms and funding for al-Qaeda in Libya in order to overthrow Gaddafi, and arent you doing the same to overthrow Assad in Syria? Isnt it true that your CIA arrested Admiral Gayoutte and General Hamm for attempting to rescue Ambassador Stevens against your express orders to not intervene? Who crossed the Red Line here Mr. Obama? Wasnt your administration found complicit in having the IRS spy on and harass your political enemies? Wasnt your administration found guilty of spying on AP reporters? Didnt your administration increase the illegal and unconstitutional spying activities of the NSA? Didnt reporters Andrew Breitbart and Michael Hastings die very mysterious deaths while investigating you and/or your criminal administration? Hasnt your long form birth certificate been determined to be a fraud? Isnt everyone single one of your administrations policies from cap and trade to national health care designed to weaken and eventually destroy this country? You are the one, sir, who has crossed the Red Line! Please Cross the Green Line, Mr. President Dont you find it amazing, Mr. President, that you are attempting to depose a leader in Syria who has led several democratic reforms including a more free Internet, the establishment of a secular society in which religious tolerance is practiced? Assad is an educated man, a doctor of ophthalmologist by training. Syria is an educated country. It was a peaceful country under Assad until your CIA invaded with its proxy forces. Assad enjoyed a 70% approval rating until the CIA became involved. What is the present approval rating for your actions in Syria, Mr. President, 9%? Mr. President, for America to survive, you must be forced to leave office. Please, sir, for the good of the country and for your welfare and legacy, please cross the Green Line and resign before the backlash from the American people leads to your impeachment. Sir, if you attack Syria, who has done nothing to us, you will be labeled a war criminal. Please Mr. President, resign before it is too late. Biden can pardon you from all crimes and fund your job training program in the Chicago area. Job training? Yes, for you have never had a real job, sir, that did not involve some kind of subversive community activist work which was designed to tear down the status quo. It is time for you to turn over a new leaf rather than to continue to perpetrate your crimes against humanity. Conclusion Blue Pill or Red Pill? The American people are waking up to your deeds, Mr. President. Red Line or Green Line? Please, Mr. President, do the correct thing and exit stage left while we still have a country to save by crossing the Green Line today.

1	Promising unspoiled nature and a relaxing escape from the hectic rigors of city life, a new Montana tourism advertising campaign that debuted this week is reportedly marketed toward urban bison. We want Montana to be the only destination a bison thinks of when they need to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Montana Office of Tourism head Brian Kinnard said of the $5 million campaign, which consists of billboards and advertisements placed in subways and bus stops in Chicago, New York, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. in order to reach city-dwelling bison. Montana offers expansive views, fresh local food, and gorgeous national parks where bison can reconnect with nature and spend quality time with family or friends. Kinnard told reporters that most bison visiting Montana would probably never want to go back to the city after getting out into the open and realizing they could look around in any direction and not see a single person. 
1	Aiming to strengthen yiplomatic relations with the nation of Furuguay, Bo Obama welcomed a visiting doglegation from the overseas country to the White House Thursday for talks on a wide range of vital rufforms. The historic meetingthe first time a sitting Furuguayan dognitary has visited Woofington since the Checkers Administrationbegan with a traditional photo op on the White House portico, in which the two leaders formally greeted one another by shaking paws. After brief prepared rebarks, Bo and the Furuguayan diplomutts reportedly retired to the South Lawn for a private discussion of minimum wag laws and a pending flea trade agreement. Bo and Cesar dug in right away and werent afraid to get their paws dirty on the tough issues, said Bos press secretary, Chiclets, noting that the two sides spent hours sitting and speaking, and occasionally chasing squirrels. Furuguay is a developing nation, and unfortunately much of its poor pupulation lives in abject slobberty. Thats why Bo has agreed to a comprehensive aid package that includes thousands of tons of heartworm medicine and emergency Ken-L Rations. It should just be a formality shepherding the relief bill through both doghouses of Congress, Chiclets added. In addition to reaching an aid deal, the two leaders are said to have talked extensively about the ongoing situation in Arfghanistan, where Tailiban insurgents continue to commit heinous acts of terrierism and aggressively defend what they consider their territory. According to sources, Furuguayan officials pledged to deploy several hundred well-trained rovert ops soldiers along the Pugistan border to help multinational FIDO forces sniff out and put down the Muzzlem extremists. Additionally, both sides vowed to tighten treat sanctions on the disobedient nation of North Corgia. Bo and Cesar believe weve been chasing our tails for far too long with North Corgia, and agree that its time to put our paw down on the matter, Chiclets said. Weve tried waving a big stick in talks with the North Corgians, but they simply refuse to roll over. And weve also tried offering them a variety of rewards to bring them under the negotiating table, but to no avail. Listen, were not going to beg here. Theyre being bad, Chiclets added. Very, very bad. Following the busy day of negotiations and an exciting ride in the presidential motorcade, the Furuguayan representatives were treated to an extravagant state dinner that is said to have featured a variety of rawhide appetizers, a six-course meal of kibble, chow, and wet food, and a mouth-watering bone dessert, all served in gold-rimmed fine china bowls on the White Houses opulent East Room floor. According to the guest list, over 300 of the biggest figures in Woofington pawlitics attended the gala event to celebrate the countries renewed ties and sniff each others anal glands. Among those spotted at the fete were the Barker of the House and Bos longtime best friend Barack Obama. Though there was one instance when bilateral talks were disrupted by a ringing doorbell, handlers strongly praised the two dognitaries, unanimously hailing the visit and state dinner as a major achomplishment for both countries. Clawing out agreements is not easy, but I think we made major strides today, said Chiclets. We know Furuguay will always remain loyal. According to aides, Bo and Fetchury Secretary Marshmallow are slated to travel later this week to Poocharest, Romania for the K-9 summit, which will bring together doglegates from the nine wealthiest purebred nations to seek solutions to the ongoing global felinancial cat-astrophe. 
3	Watchdog Discovers Toy Dolls Are Recording Your Conversations And Uploading Them To PoliceBy Claire Bernish Indeed, these toys which could record any conversation occurring nearby, and also fish for specific information from unwitting children constitute the latest in surveillance by home appliances and gadgets known collectively as the Internet of Things. And this insidious, extraneous spying has several watchdog groups sounding alarm bells in a complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission. Genesis Toys My Friend Cayla doll and i-Que robot Internet-connected toys using voice recognition technology to interact with children can answer questions by converting speech to text and retrieving information from Google, Wikipedia, and Weather Underground, CNN reports. But what has the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood, the Center for Digital Democracy, and the Consumers Union on edge is that the toys subject young children to ongoing surveillance, in violation of privacy and consumer protection laws and, worse, the nature of the company Genesis Toys employs for that purpose. Nuance Communications, the aforementioned groups state in a complaint to the FTC, represents itself as a leader in voice technology, including speech recognition software and voice biometric solutions that allow a search of the companys 60 million enrolled voiceprints for a voice match from recorded conversations to be performed within minutes. Nuance markets its technology to private and public entities and delivers its voice biometric technology to military, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies. Both Genesis Toys and Nuance Communications unfairly and deceptively collect, use, and disclose audio files of childrens voices without providing adequate notice or obtaining verified parental consent, the complaint continues. Cayla and i-Que have slightly differing companion applications, but Genesis collects users IP addresses and both require downloading and connection to the users mobile device via Bluetooth technology. As the complaint explains: The companion application for My Friend Cayla requests permission to access the hardware, storage, microphone, Wi-Fi connections, and Bluetooth on users devices, but fails to disclose to the user the significance of obtaining this permission. The i-Que companion application also requests access to the device camera, which is not necessary to the toys functions and is not explained or justified. That Richard Mack, Nuance vice president of corporate marketing and communications, reassured the public the uploaded information is not sold or used for advertising or marketing purposes should be of little comfort to consumers wary of the perfidious surveillance state. Even so, Cayla comes equipped with pro-Disney marketing propaganda in references to Disney movies and Disney theme parks the doll says her favorite movie is Disneys The Little Mermaid, for example which children cannot distinguish as advertising. Perhaps most notably, not to mention nefariously, CNN reports, The Cayla doll also has a mobile phone app that asks children to provide personal information, like their name and their parents names, their favorite TV show, their favorite meal, where they go to school, their favorite toy and where they live. EPIC and the other watchdogs have requested an investigation into Genesis Toys and Nuance Communications by the FTC and to have Cayla and i-Que pulled from store shelves. The FTC should issue a recall on the dolls and halt further sales pending the resolution of the privacy and safety risks identified in the complaint, asserted Claire Gartland, director of EPICs Consumer Privacy Project. This is already happening in the European Union, where Dutch stores have pulled the toys from their shelves. EPIC also notes this complaint is one facet of a concerted effort to ban such privacy-invasive and surveillance-laden toys from the marketplace. Last year, Senator Edward Markey and Rep. Joe Barton were joined by Rep. Mark Kirk and Sen. Bobby Rush in introducing the Do Not Track Kids Act of 2015 (H.R. 2734) to update existing childrens online privacy law to include greater protections for kids. Markey penned letters to Genesis and Nuance demanding immediate compliance with strictures delineated in the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act. The Internet of Things has long been a cause for concern for privacy advocates and delight for surveillance hawks, as predictions the surveillance state will be willingly welcomed into peoples homes through the convenience of interconnectedness prove true time and again. However, while it might be one thing for hapless adults to dismissively toss privacy concerns to the wayside, to have the voiceprints and information of children as young as three-years-old uploaded and likely stored by a company with military and law enforcement ties is a whole other animal. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Oh no! Dont buy Beth a dolly, get her a smart phone, because they are private.. Good point, but its good to point out that the phone is far from the only thing peeps should be worried about. Parents; dumb and dumber. Privacy isnt the real issue here. The Cayla doll app questions sound more like something a pedophile ring would want to know to better find and capture children. Exactly. I am so glad someone else said it because I was thinking the exact same thing. After the DOD Boystown disgrace (reprehensible and horrific I mean) and all the cases of rape being reported now in the Boyscouts as well, it would not surprise me all that much if there was more meat behind that theory. Anything with wifi capabilities can be hacked into, just watch the Snowden movie and you will feel even less safe then before Never fear, never feel unsafe, it only encourages them. Snowed-In is disinfo and so is the movie. Best to ignore both and live fearlessly. Not afraid, just annoyed. The government is drunk with power while the people are asleep to reality True, but they are soulless beasts and their reality is a lot scarier than ours. Um. The government has no interest in spying on toddlers; parents should spy on them. Yeah, vacuous little data sets, with no purchasing power. If a home device can communicate with the internet to retrieve and answer questions, its a simple step sideways to record the whole damn house. We are waltzing into a trap of Orwellian consequences, gaily bringing the Horse through the gates. Can nobody hear Cassandras wailing? Dont forget smart refrigerators, toasters, dishwashers, thermostats and on and on Yep, outside control of those appliances wont be far behind. Hackers and/or government can keep that thermostat on 62 in the winter to mess with you or ration energy consumption. Not smart to embrace this stuff. And self-driving (autonomous) automobiles. Fill er up, and it takes you to the police station for questioning. LOL. Ive wondered about self driving cars conveniently crashing with threats to the state in the car ala Princess Dianna death, 13th pillar temple of goddess Dianna also known as the pont du alma tunnel. There are several devices being advertised on prime time TV, right now, FCS. Wake up, you fools. Unfortunately, this has been going on for years such as with the Barbie dolls. How burned do you have to get before you see the evil being sown in every corner of your life? What is precious enough to snap you out of your trance? The surveillance is marching into your privacy at every turn. Your children are at risk and you purchase a pedophile surveillance tool on top of providing that child with the network to feed it? What are you thinking? The internet is a very nasty place in 2017. You have no idea the working of the network the government provides you to pay for do you? There is a reason tons of gear is being built to connect to the net through your phone or wifi. Who says it has to ask you for access? Suppose it does MANY things you would find wrong? Nobody is watching too close at the back end of these internet connected apps. Would losing a child to a scumbag snap ya out of your stupor? Would your wife or husband getting whacked do it for ya? What you dont know about the evil men sowing these products boggles the mind i would take much care if you love your family. SEIG HEIL!!! I can imagine that the entrepreneurs at these toy companies dont see any difference between capturing demographic information from children for resell and what Facebook and Amazon have been doing for years. I suppose Americans and Europeans feel outraged that the same technology that captures every consumer act is being turned on the universally deemed innocent. Someone is drawing a line in the sand while their head is still in the hole in the sand beside the line. First Samsung smart TVs, then Alexa, and now dolls??! I really wish the general population would stop embracing the stealth surveillance walking through their front door. Internet of everything is on its way. It will soon be impossible to live in a decent home that doesnt report to the powers that be when youre home, how much power you consume, how much water you consume, what youre watching on TV, and even how many calories you remove from your refrigerator. Unplug it! Every night, as soon as I have finished watching TV, I make sure I do. I, for one, am not afraid of god/God. I am afraid of the consequences of my words and actions. Dont worry just cover the lens with black electrical tape.. Your TV, Cellphone and any other nosy cameras the force on you. Cover them up. It is your device so do as you will. I cut out the condenser mic as well in my laptops and cover the lens No snoopy fun! Need to block your phone? Get a glass container with a sealed lid, put in and place on a soft surface to mute the vibes! Anti surveillance is a FUN sport Enjoy it! Just get a flashlight and a magnifying glass to root out those pesky stealth lenses. Its never misses. Most modern lenses are about 1mm in diameter and have a purplish tint. Thanks for the tip, I will have a look around and see if I can spot something with a flashlight anywhere around the box. 
3	Silencing Dissent in AmericaStephen Lendman, Contributor America is on a fast track toward tyranny and ruin. Police state laws threaten everyone. Increasingly, dissent is marginalized. Its not tolerated. Resistance is called dangerous to National Security. Federal authorities target activists. So do militarized local police. No-holds-barred tactics are employed. In October 2010, the Center for Constitutional Rights said: The growing threat to the right to dissent has been demonstrated in the U.S. governments efforts to silence speech, and criminalize and target peaceful movements. These efforts are becoming more aggressive, emboldened further by the Supreme Courts increasingly conservative decisions, for instance regarding material support in the form of humanitarian aid to so-called terrorist organizations. Howard Zinn called dissent the highest form of patriotism. Michael Ratner and Margaret Ratner Kunstlers book Hell No: Your Right to Dissent in Twenty First Century Americadiscusses what everyone needs to know. Authorities claim they give material support to perceived enemies. Hell No provides advice on dealing with a menu of police state practices. Americans First Amendment guarantees free expression, a free press, the right to peacefully assemble, free exercise of religion, and right to petition government for redress of grievances. Without these rights, all others are at risk. Theyve been fast eroding in America for years en route to eliminating them altogether. Forgotten are numerous Supreme Court decisions upholding free expression and assembly rights. In Edwards v. South Carolina (1963), the Court ruled against state authorities for prohibiting protesters from marching for civil rights. In Cox v. Louisiana (1965), the Court held that state government cannot employ breach of the peace statutes against protesters engaging in peaceful demonstrations by claiming they may incite violence. In Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the Court ruled government cant punish inflammatory speech unless its directed to incite lawless action. In Texas v. Johnson (1989), Justice William Brennan wrote the majority opinion, saying: (I)f there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea offensive or disagreeable. In Wooley v. Maynard (1977), the Court upheld the right of individuals to hold a point of view different from the majority with respect to idea(s) they find morally objectionable. Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. Article 20(1) states: Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. Article 29(2) states: In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society. Post-9/11, dissent has been increasingly marginalized. In October 2008, so-called (Attorney General Michael) Mukasey/(FBI Director Robert) Mueller Guidelines gave federal authorities flexibility (to) protect the Nation from terrorist threats. Consolidated new rules include criminal and national security issues. Surveillance restrictions were eased. Domestic spying became institutionalized. Constitutional rights are ignored. War on terror authority escalated FBI abuses. Intrusive surveillance tools used against alleged spies now target ordinary Americans. Mukasey/Mueller Guidelines underwent four separate changes. Each one increased FBI surveillance powers. Tactics include intrusive spying, commercial database data retrieval, paid informants infiltrating groups or targeting individuals on false pretenses, and letting covert unidentified agents conduct pretext interviews for information. Mukasey/Mueller Guidelines left ordinary Americans increasingly vulnerable to abuse. Anyone may be investigated for any reason or none at all. Authorization permits surveillance and infiltration of anti-war and other social justice groups. Occupy Wall Street (OWS) activists are targeted. Any organization or individual is vulnerable. Anything goes is now policy. Obama is more repressive than Bush. Data mining collects vast amounts of information on ordinary Americans. How its used, who knows. Against targeted individuals and groups, its used abusively. Everything is fair game. Personal records of all kinds are obtained. Activities are closely monitored. So-called suspicious activity reports allege possible criminal activity. The USA PATRIOT Act authorized so-called National Security Letters (NSLs). They expanded the FBIs authority to obtain personal customer records from ISPs, financial institutions, credit companies, and other sources without prior court approval. Innocent people are targeted. Virtually anything in public or private records can be gotten. Gag orders prevent targeted individuals or groups from revealing the information demanded. NSL use continues increasing exponentially. Lawful rights are violated in numerous ways. Classic police state tactics are used. No ones safe when authorities act this way. Freedom is perilously close to vanishing. Mueller has virtual carte blanche authority. Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters have been targeted and criminalized. Constitutional rights are violated. Beatings and other forms of excessive force are used. Nonviolent protests are called terrorism. PATRIOT Act provisions criminalized dissent. Innocent people are arrested, indicted and imprisoned. Terrorist profiles let FBI and local police investigate anyone for any reason. Obama and congressional allies sold out constituents for Wall Street and other monied interests. Obama escalated repressive Bush practices. The Oregoriannewspaper reported that heavily armed FBI units raided homes of OWS protesters in Seattle and Olympia, WA and Portland, OR over the last month. Actions have been ongoing since early July. Authorities claim violent crimes are being investigated. Eyewitnesses report dozens of FBI agents in body armor and military fatigues armed with assault rifles involved. One witness said: I just heard lots of pounding at 6 oclock, and I got up and I saw the whole thing. I saw them screaming to get in. They were using the battering ram, and then finally the door just opened. FBI spokeswoman Beth Anne Steele told the Oregonian The warrants are sealed, and I anticipate they will remain sealed. Authorities alleged searches were for anti-government or anarchist literature or materials, as well as documentation and communications related to the offenses, including but not limited to notes, diagrams, letters, diary and journal entries, address books, and other documentation in written or electronic form. In fact, nonviolent activists were targeted, terrorized, and criminalized. At issue is engaging in constitutionally protected protests. Militarized FBI agents used stun grenades and battering rams. Victims were pulled out of bed at gunpoint. Personal possessions were seized. They included computers, suspect literature and other materials in written or electronic form, cell phones, thumb drives, and clothing with political slogans. False charges remain sealed. Fundamental rights are criminalized. Post-9/11, similar raids were conducted. At issue is political dissent as well as Americas ongoing war on Islam. Disproportionate force is used. Victims were handcuffed while homes were searched. Arrests werent made, but about six protesters were subpoenaed to appear before grand juries. On August 1, Dennison Williams and Leah Plante read a statement outside a Portland, OR courthouse, saying: This grand jury is a tool of political repression. It is attempting to turn individuals against each other by coercing those subpoenaed to testify against their communities. The secret nature of grand jury proceedings creates mistrust and can undermine solidarity. And imprisoning us takes us from our loved ones and our responsibilities. Williams and Plante said theyll invoke the Fifth Amendment rights and refuse to answer grand jury questions. Americas Grand Jury System Federally, they have extraordinary investigative powers. Prosecutors abuse them to manipulate proceedings for outcomes they wish. Victims are vulnerable to bogus indictments. The Fifth Amendment requires grand jury indictments for federal criminal charges. Prosecutors have extraordinary discretion. They choose witnesses, grant selective immunity, and do nearly all questioning. Proceedings are conducted in secret. No one may disclose what goes on unless ordered to do so judicially. Anyone may be subpoenaed. Answering questions is mandated unless special privilege is granted. For example: lawyer/client confidentiality or self-incrimination. Lawyers cant intervene to help clients while testifying. Double jeopardy doesnt apply to grand juries, but without indictments, prosecutors need Criminal Division Attorney General permission to try again. Victims have no protections against false witness testimonies perhaps gotten for leniency on existing or threatened charges. Prosecutors routinely want grand jury indictments. The system is rigged to get them. Targeted victims are defenseless. Many innocent people languish wrongfully in prison. Justice is routinely denied. Numerous past incidents occurred. In September 2010, administration ordered raids targeted Chicago and Minneapolis anti-war/pro-Palestinian activists. Arrests werent made, but homes were ransacked. Computers, cell phones, books, photos, correspondence, papers, and other possessions were seized. Twenty-three victims were subpoenaed to testify before grand juries. selfnewss were again targeted during NATOs May invasion. False terror plots were claimed. selfnews homes were raided. Five victims faced terrorism-related charges. Numerous other arrests were made. Everyone charged is innocent. Police brutality was reported. Most injuries were from baton head and body blows. Over two dozen were hospitalized for broken bones, concussions, knocked out teeth, and open wounds requiring stitches. NATO arrives nowhere peacefully. Obama officials and local police wage war on dissent. Legal restraints dont apply for anyone charged with alleged terrorism or conspiracy to commit it. Abolition of constitutional rights shows what everyone faces. Its the wrong time to be activist in America. Doing so means possible indictment, prosecution, and imprisonment for doing the right thing. You can support this information by voting on Reddit HERE 
2	LOOK: The Wall Is Actually Going To Get Built... Its Happening With Donald Trump just weeks away from becoming our nations president, Americans are preparing themselves for a very different America. One of the biggest questions on peoples mind is whether the President-elect will push forward with his plans to build the wall. Trumps vision for the great barrier along the Mexican border is to keep illegal immigrants out, but one sheriff sees it as an opportunity for inmates to provide free labor to help build it. According to the Washington Times, Bristol County Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson, just elected to a fourth term, said he his plan would pay off for both the country and the inmates. I can think of no other project that would have such a positive impact on our inmates and our country than building this wall, he said, according to Boston Herald. Aside from learning and perfecting construction skills, the symbolism of these inmates building a wall to prevent crime in communities around the country, and to preserve jobs and work opportunities for them and other Americans upon release, can be very powerful. Sheriff Hodgsons are refreshing at a time when many communities across the country are refusing to cooperate with law enforcement to protect illegal immigrants. Even the Center for Immigration Studies applauded the idea. If illegal immigration is successfully slowed and enforcement increased in the interior, then construction is one of the industries where there should be some better job opportunities for Americans and legal immigrants, said Jessica Vaughan, CIS policy studies director. Brandon Judd, the head of the Border Patrol Agents Union and an adviser to Trump, claims he believes that a strategically built border will be 100 percent effective. Were excited that were going to be able to do our job, Judd said. Under the Obama administration, law enforcement were being handcuffed and the criminals were being let go. What do you think? Will our country be safer under Trumps administration? 
3	How Government Allows Dangerous Food Additives Like MSG To Stay in Our FoodMelissa Melton The year was 1969, and the flavor enhancer monosodium glutamate (MSG) was all over the grocery store, even in baby foods. Despite a place on the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations GRAS (generally recognized as safe) list, scientific evidence had been mounting against the stuff that it was anything but safe. Psychiatrist Dr. John W. Olney had published a study in Science magazine (spurring even more studies) that year showing that MSG caused irreversible brain damage in infants. It seemed that feeding pregnant rats a diet with MSG similar to that which an average person could consume in everyday foods resulted in the formation of fetal brain lesions. Everything from neuroendocrine disruption to learning deficits to obesity was found in oral studies where infants were fed MSG and grew up screwed up and not just rats, either. The studies were replicated with similar brain damaging results in monkeys, baby chickens and mice. The alarm was sounded and MSG was removed from baby food that same year to quell parents fears and save bottom lines; but despite study after study showing potential dangers not just to infants but adolescents and adults as well, it remained on the GRAS list and remained in the grocery store. When Senator Nelson asked Dr. Olney three years later how, despite 18 studies (by that time) confirming the dangerous, neurotoxic nature of MSG it was still considered safe for food, Olneys response was quite to the point: an industry-managed whitewash. This is the group the FDA appointed to assess whether or not MSG was safe to eat, and sure enough, the following year they came out with their official finding of no evidence of hazard. One of the studies the committee later cited to senators to prove MSGs safety was only in its very preliminary stages and only involved a mere 180 chick eggs, while at the same time, a completed study with over 13,000 eggs that clearly showed defects was all-but ignored. Of the studies available then, the majority (20) reportedly showed that MSG posed a threat to health, while only four showed it was safe and those four were all industry-funded. Big surprise. But thats how it works. What do we have today? Not only do we have MSG in foods all over the place, but it goes by at least thirty different names on product labels: autolyzed yeast, yeast extract, torula yeast, hydrolyzed protein, whey protein, gelatin, umami Even if you wanted to avoid MSG, youd have your work cut out for you simply in trying to keep up with how food manufacturers keep changing the name to continue trying to hide it in their products (likely to cover the fact that many are using substandard ingredients). This is allowed because these companies break down existing proteins to produce MSG derivatives, so they dont have to put monosodium glutamate on the label even though free glutamic acid is still floating around in the food ready to potentially harm whoever eats it. MSG has been shown to cause enough adverse effects to have its own complex: MSG symptom complex. In 1995, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) delivered a 350-page report to the FDA attesting to all of the adverse symptoms eating MSG can cause. Sufferers can experience headaches, nausea, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, chest pain, burning sensations, numbness, weakness, sleepiness, and ultimately obesity, depression, fatigue, eye damage and more (sounds like a pharmaceutical ad featuring the guy from Micro Machines, doesnt it?). But hey. Whatever tastes good, right? MSG is an excitotoxin that kills brain cells. Its been linked to all kinds of diseases. The body uses the amino acid glutamate to transmit nerve impulses in the brain. Even the FDA admits, Abnormal function of glutamate receptors has been linked with certain neurological diseases, such as Alzheimers disease and Huntingtons chorea. Injections of glutamate in laboratory animals have resulted in damage to nerve cells in the brain, but the agency basically goes on to say this doesnt happen when you eat it over and over and over. Read up on non-nutritive sweetener aspartames approval and youll find a similarly ridiculous story. It only took 20 years for them to finally shove that dangerous chemical down peoples throats under a cloud of what can only be described as Hollywood movie script-level controversy. An archive of scientific studies befitting its own library exists showing how damaging aspartame can be, yet its still GRAS and in thousands of products consumed by millions of people all over the world every single day. In 2007, a meta-analysis heralded as the most comprehensive review ever conducted by a panel of experts was published affirming that aspartame was completely 100% safe across the board. Again, a simple search yielded that ALL of the study authors have significant conflicts of interest that make the elephant in the room look like a fly on the wall. One of the authors was chairman of the American Health Foundation (AHF), funded in part by NutraSweet (aspartame) and other companies selling aspartame. Other board of directors members have included PepsiCo. and National Soft Drink Association reps. The AHF has held conferences on the safety of sweeteners. And thats just one of the authors. Its safe to say that this comprehensive review is less than independent. Jacqueline Verrett, who sat on an FDA aspartame panel when it was going through years of being turned down for approval, but later spoke out as a whistleblower when it became clear this was yet another FDA whitewash went on to write the book Eating May Be Hazardous to Your Health where she tells the whole shameful story on MSGs continued approval. She also discusses just how the FDA uses taxpayer dollars to fund research not to find out if something is safe for you and your family to eat, but to find out how much of a carcinogen you can ingest without immediate consequences. After all, a little MSG here, a little aspartame there, a little petroleum by-product Red No. 40 or Yellow No. 5 artificial color dye, a little sodium benzoate, a little high fructose corn syrup (produced with mercury cell technology) and years down the road, you wont have the first clue what caused the cancer that finally killed you (sucking all the money out of your wallet for Big Pharma cancer treatments on the way down, of course). Chances of being diagnosed with cancer in your lifetime these days? Its up to one in two for men, one in three for women. There is a 100% chance that you will personally know someone who has or had cancer in your lifetime. It didnt used to be that way. Our food didnt used to contain so much crap, either. The kind of thinking that led to the FDAs de minimis interpretation (written by Michael Taylor, a once-Vice President of Public Policy for Monsanto who is currently our FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods) of the Delaney Clause (a clause that used to protect us from known carcinogens in our food) is used throughout food safety assessment with regulators only looking to whether a food additive is safe enough not to cause immediate, acute toxicity and/or death. What is systematically ignored is any chronic, or long-term, low-level adverse effects, despite the fact that so many toxic chemicals added to our food today have known carcinogenic effects and bioaccumulate over time. (This doesnt even begin to touch upon diabetes, heart disease and strokes, gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune diseases, allergies) RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: 
1	Monday's full-scale riot at the Georgia Women's Correctional Facility is being derided by witnesses as 'contrived' and 'blatantly designed to pander to prurient interests.' 'It's obvious that this was just a thinly veiled excuse to have women claw at each other and tear each other's shirts off,' Decatur resident Charles Fenig said of the inmate uprising, during which one guard was fatally stabbed and six others held hostage for more than three hours. 'I expect more from our women's prisons than this sort of cheap, exploitative 'caged heat.'' Critics also panned prison warden Barb Hofstadt, calling her 'a textbook sadistic, bull-dyke warden straight out of central casting.' 
3	Is the conspiracy theory theory setting the stage for the end of America?Bernie Suarez Thats right, with one article Eichenwald checks off a list of exposed globalist agendas and crimes. One after another he lists them and then transfers the topic into his little box which he calls conspiracy theories. Before you completely write off Mr. Eichenwalds article as pure government, pro-federalist/ pro-new world order propaganda, consider giving credit to Eichenwald, who though he never offers exactly just what determines the definition of conspiracies he essentially admits that diversion from (subjective) official government versions of stories defines conspiracy theory. He actually quotes co-editor of British Journal of Social Psychology, Karen Douglas, who says: Thank you Mr. Eichenwald, and thank you Karen Douglas, for admitting to us that simply opposing government views opens you up to being a conspiracy theorist. Actually, sorry Mr. Eichenwald and sorry Ms. Douglas but conspiracy is a real English word with its own well-established definition. The dictionary defines conspiracy as: With all the things going on in the world, who would think an honest writer would point out the idea that the vast differences in mindsets, beliefs and convictions within Americans is in itself a clear and present danger. I remember growing up and being taught that the very thing that made America special is that everyone is different. People believe differently and you are free to speak your mind as long as you cause no harm to anyone. That made sense to me; after all, why would someone care so much about what I think? Im just one voice and one opinion. Of course, growing up I had no clear understanding of what tyranny and fascism was all about. I hadnt yet understood the underlying mindset behind oppressive regimes. Now we can all begin to understand the building blocks of oppressive empires. Now we are seeing how they (in god-like manner) subjectively decide what is and what isnt. This subjectivity is one of the prime indicators that a country is in trouble. Whenever individuals in government can subjectively define reality, we as a humanity have no reason to accept this message. Sadly, Eichenwald is putting out his calling card of propaganda to convince the weak-minded sheep who are still asleep. This is possibly one of the campaigns suggested by Mr. cognitive infiltration himself, Cass Sunstein, who Eichenwald ironically defends in his article stating that even those who think Sunstein really meant what he said when he wrote about the need to cognitively infiltrate extremist groups are also conspiracy theorists. Extremist groups when dealing with these globalists means simple truth seekers and those who ask questions. Asking too many questions really is extreme to someone who is afraid of being exposed to the world for their crimes. So in some ways hes telling the truth. The truth movement and the mass awakening of humanity really is a clear and present danger but not to America which is in the process of being restored because of all these efforts, but to the actual criminal globalists cabal or the new world order. Yes the control of the United Nations and NATO is indeed in clear and present danger. The secrecy of the globalists is in a clear and present danger. And yes, to the globalists and their minions like Eichenwald, this global cabal and ring of corruption and greed really is America. So the globalist writer in some ways is telling the truth. His version of America is threatened by the global awakening that is happening. This proves that indeed there is a fine line of truth in everything you hear. Note to Mr. Eichenwald: you will not get your new world order and all your psyops will fail. Humanity has too much to give back to the world that your control system miscalculated. This article is printed just a few months following the Conspiracy Magazine which I exposed in December. In an eerily similar article, ghost writer J. Lee Marks who is apparently reclusive to the world, spun together an entire magazine counter-attacking every single exposed government crime as in Eichenwalds article. Clearly this is part of a new trend to launch regular psychological attacks on the truth and consciousness movement. If only Americans could wake up to the fact that government is putting an all-out effort to brainwash the young generation. It is up to each and every one of us to reach out to these young adults and drop just enough seeds of truth for them to wake up on their own. Lets remember that the antidote to this supreme level of lies and propaganda being launched by Newsweek, Kurt Eichenwald, Sunstein and the others is to simply continue to be the change that you want to see in the world. Realize that there is nothing these men can do to stop the process of awakening. The more they try to lie and control the few brainwashed zombies, the more people will continue to awaken. As I mentioned in my latest video on this topic titled: Does Shocking Newsweek Cover Hint Beginning of Mass Round Up? We must consider whether this is a direct precursor to a mass round up of Americans. Philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer outlined the three stages of acceptance of truth stating first they ridicule you, then they violently oppose you, then they accept the truth. In this three-stage process we are now entering stage two Violent Opposition. With this shocking article Kurt Eichenwald has painted himself into a corner. The likes of Eichenwald and Sunstein have publicly stated that the State represents safety and individual free thinkers and critical thinkers (which they tag as conspiracy theorists) are the threat. From this point on, there is no where to go with this argument. Inevitably those who are a clear and present danger are rounded up, murdered or imprisoned; or the oppressive government accusing them of being dangerous is replaced and all goes away for the time being. Shocking articles like these have a lasting and permanent effect for better or for worse. For a violent empire that is not known for saying Im sorry, this article should raise serious concerns for those committed to truth and reason. Now it is clear how the coined phrase conspiracy theory very likely marks a type of end game scenario in this battle for truth. The lines are being drawn. The violent empire seems poised to go for it all. Will the people respond with an even greater awakening? I believe so. Deep down, I dont envision any form of slowing down of the truth. We knew all along that there were a lot more of us than there were of them and perhaps we are now seeing the absolute reality of that. The empire seems to only be able to control the perception of things but never the reality of it. As long as this is true, the globalists and their new world order plans will continue to be exposed which means that well continue to read more articles delving deeper and deeper into the mainstream media Disney-Style dream world where literally every crime being exposed is simply not happening. This mesmerized state of mind is actually the biggest part of the story. We now have an opportunity to witness mass scale 1920s-style propaganda right here and right now in real-time. Please take note and write about this phenomenon for future generations to appreciate. Remember, you and I are walking through history right now and what we are witnessing from a propaganda point of view is CIA magic in action. If you truly understand the high stakes in this battle for freedom and truth, try to find that place in your mind where you can get over the fear of the battle and instead accept what is happening as unavoidable and part of the road to freedom. This will allow you to free yourself from the weight of the world and the pressure that this awakening represents. Instead be happy to be alive, continue to be the change that you want to see in the world, and know that nothing that you are doing is in vain because we are conscious human beings. Know also that because of what you are doing as an activist, or as someone who shares New Media views, you are not only changing the world and contributing to overall consciousness, but know that something you are doing is making the minds of people like Kurt Eichenwald and Cass Sunstein very nervous and uncomfortable. Realize that the change you pursue is making the Obama empire nervous. Know that your disconnect from government and the control system is the very clear and present danger that Eichenwald speaks of. This Newsweek article is a major sign that the world is awakening politically and that the awakening is presenting a problem for the globalists. We said that 2014 is the year of solutions. Somehow I get the feeling this (Newsweek) article will contribute massively to the continued global awakening. For this (paradigm shift progress) we should all be thankful, but let us be as vigilant as ever knowing that in all likelihood the globalists (Statists/Federalists) will be staging some kind of event (part of what I call the current Operation Northwoods II) to blame on domestic conspiracy theorist / terrorists. This is nearly inevitable and we should all be informing everyone we know about this nearly sure event. Lets not allow the empire to use the concept of conspiracy theorists to set up the final Armageddon for average Americans to be rounded up. This is clearly what they appear to be doing, and we would be foolish to go for this given the long list of sloppy false flags weve witnessed the last few years. For now, let us look and listen carefully to the narratives of the violent globalists and their media mouthpieces for it is in this mouthpiece that the answer will come. Let us also increase our efforts to spread educational information to the world about the factual plans of the current global government and let the progress of human awakening continue automated as we the people have planned. Bernie Suarez is an activist, critical thinker, radio host, musician, M.D, Veteran, lover of freedom and the Constitution, and creator of the Truth and Art TV project. He also has a background in psychology and highly recommends that everyone watch a documentary titled The Century of the Self. Bernie has concluded that the way to defeat the New World Order is to truly be the change that you want to see. Manifesting the solution and putting truth into action is the very thing that will defeat the globalists.

1	Saying He was astounded with their continued tenacity and resilience through generations of life on earth, God Almighty, our Lord and Heavenly Father, declared today His overwhelming pride in cockroaches. The Divine Creator, who spoke extensively with reporters about the prevalent group of insects, repeatedly stated that cockroaches have far exceeded His expectations for them and conveyed His deep admiration for the accomplishments of all 4,500 cockroach species. Cockroaches have come a long way since I first created themtheyve really flourished over the eons and have clearly established themselves as one of earths great creatures, the Eternal One proclaimed. I admit, I didnt give them much to work with, but look at what theyve done with it. There are cockroaches on every continent on the planetin houses, apartments, landfills, forests, desertseverywhere. They are truly remarkable beings. If you asked me millions of years ago whether or not I thought cockroaches would outlive dinosaurs, I would have said absolutely not, God continued. But, I just have to admire the little guys for proving me wrong. Calling the insects adaptability to constant environmental changes unparalleled, the Maker of Heaven and Earth was visibly elated when discussing the tremendous volume of vibrant, cooperative communities that cockroaches have built across the world despite possessing neither complex brain structures nor opposable thumbs. He Who Commanded Light to Shine Out of Darkness told reporters that, when comparing cockroaches to other species like zebras, plankton, alligators, human beings, or plant life, He was most taken by how the average cockroach would willingly eat anything, live anywhere, and compete against any species in order to survive and reproduce. Furthermore, God noted that in His overwhelming praise of cockroaches, He hadnt even factored in the numerous members of the genus that have the ability to fly. If I had to describe cockroaches in one word, it would have to be fearless, the Supreme Being said, smiling widely as He reflected on the continuing successes of cockroaches. I was just watching the other night when six or seven of them scurried right across the face of Daniel Jaffe of Urbana, ILwho is something like 40 times bigger than them, mind youand they didnt even think twice about it. And that kind of thing happens thousands of times every day. Thats how you know they have courage. And every year human scientists come up with some new formula to kill cockroaches, but I always know theyll learn to avoid poisoned bait or develop their own chemical resistance and will still be around and thriving the following year, He added. Honestly, I probably dont tell them enough how proud I am of them. The omnipotent entity went on to state that He occasionally wished more species exhibited the persistent willpower and determination of cockroaches, but then reminded reporters that He continued to love all of His creations equally for what they had to offer. The Lord then added, however, that even though cockroaches live just a year and a half on average, each one had likely achieved far, far more in its life than any other creature. I presume if I made cockroaches even slightly bigger, they would be commanding the entire planet right now, no questions asked, said God, remarking that He still wouldnt put it past the insects to one day dominate earth nonetheless. But what I really like about them is how they seem quite content with their status in the world. Theyre satisfied with how far theyve come and are truly grateful for what they have. Cockroaches will forever be welcome in My kingdom, God added. Thats why there are always billions of them crawling around heaven. 
1	Speaking to reporters after traveling to the Muslim holy city of Mecca and completing his five-day hajj pilgrimage, 38-year-old Toronto resident Imad Marikh expressed his surprise and disappointment Wednesday that he didnt find the experience to be more transformative. Marikh, a lifelong Muslim of Moroccan descent, told reporters he made the 6,500-mile holy journey with the hope that he would forge a deeper connection with God, but confessed that, despite performing the required rituals as faithfully as he could, he failed to undergo the whole cathartic religious enlightenment thing common for many others who fulfill the fifth pillar of Islam. Im happy I was able to take part in such a revered tradition of my religion, but to be totally honest, I guess I thought it was going to be a bigger deal or something, said Marikh, adding that he had always been eager to complete his religious duty to visit Mecca, but noted that, for him personally, the trip had been kind of a letdown, actually. Before I came out here, all I ever heard was, Mecca will completely change you as a person and Becoming a hajji will bring you closer to Allah than you could ever imagine. Gotta say, though, that never really happened for me. It just kind of feels like I took a long trip some place far away. Im sort of tired, but thats about it. Maybe my expectations were too highand to be fair, Im not the best travelerbut I assumed Id come away from this with a new, more profound perspective on the world, Marikh continued. Pretty much feel the same, though. According to Marikh, despite his initial excitement upon arriving in Saudi Arabia, donning ihram garments, and spending his first night in the small town of Mina, his enthusiasm began to wane after hiking to Mecca and being only somewhat moved by the sight of the sacred Masjid al-Haram mosque occupied by millions of fellow worshippers. Marikh went on to say that during his first-ever awfthe ancient ritual in which Muslims walk counterclockwise around the Kaaba seven timeshe didnt feel anything that could be described as life-altering, per se and began to worry that he might not be overcome with an intense spiritual fervor at all during his trip. At a certain point I started wondering if I was even doing the hajj correctly, said Marikh, adding that while performing the Sai, in which pilgrims traverse back and forth between the al-Safa and al-Marwah mountains, he was just going through the motions by the end. Everyone else seemed to be having these incredibly deep spiritual reawakeningsfalling to their knees in prayer, or hugging complete strangers, or weeping uncontrollably, that kind of thing. So I guess I was the only one who didnt really get it. Im not sure why, but for whatever reason it just didnt do it for me. I mean, I felt close to the Almighty, sure, but it wasnt very different from the feeling I get when I pray at my local mosque, Marikh added. Or, you know, if I just read the Quran at home. Marikh admitted that, unlike those around him, he simply couldnt achieve a transcendent state of inner peace at any point during the nearly week-long pilgrimage. Though he reportedly reminded himself often that he was treading on hallowed ground where the Holy Prophet Muhammad gave his Final Sermon 14 centuries ago, Marikh noted that he kept waiting to be washed over by Gods holy light, but acknowledged that such a sensation never came. Moreover, the 38-year-old conceded that during the traditional Stoning of the Devil rite at the walls of Jamart, he began to feel an overwhelming sense of guilt for not enjoying any higher level of spiritual fulfillment whatsoever. I was really hoping that maybe it would all just hit me later, but after my third day performing awf and pointing toward the Black Stone, I just thought, You know what, if I were going to have some sort of big, life-changing revelation, it probably would have happened by now, said Marikh, shrugging his shoulders before explaining that he tries to always be a kind, generous, and devout person, so perhaps he doesnt even need to fundamentally change. There were actually a few seconds at the end of Eid al-Adha when I thought I felt a divine presence enter my body and I began to rethink my entire life, but frankly, I think I just wanted so badly to feel anything at all at that point that I probably just forced it. I just thought this whole thing would be...I dont know, added Marikh, his voice trailing off. I just kind of want to go home. At press time, upon returning to Toronto, Marikh warmly greeted his family, smiled, and said the trip was the greatest experience of his life. 
2	Obama Activating Fema Camps Across The Country Over the past few years, the American public has been suspicious that there are FEMA camps spreading throughout the United States, though the Obama administration vehemently denies their existence. Still, if we know anything from Obamas time in the White House, its that you cant always believe what POTUS tells you. Of recent, several major cities have expressed their desire to clean up the streets. This desire has led to a new law that makes it virtually illegal to be homeless. In urban hubs like Washington D.C., Boston and San Francisco, politicians have been rerouting there homelessand they are finding themselves in jail or FEMA camps. Most homeless citizens are excited about the opportunity to stay in a 24-hours shelter rather than head to prison. And that sounds attractive, until you see a fenced area with barbed wire on top, where you are forced to stay for a night. Despite several accounts of camps like these, the Obama Administration continues to deny their existence. Theyve even gone so far as to claim that the locations are designed for natural disasters, but critics of Obama are almost certain that he is preparing for a different plan of action. What do you think? Are you sick of Obama lying to the American people? 
1	Following another devastating loss to the Dallas Cowboys Monday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told the 1-4 Buffalo Bills to take time during their upcoming bye week to reflect on their season thus far and ask themselves if playing professional football is what they really want to be doing with their lives. 'I'm not trying to push them in any particular direction,' Goodell told reporters after the game, which the Bills lost despite forcing six turnovers, ultimately finding themselves unable to field a last-minute onside kick. 'As commissioner, it's my job to put a quality product on the field each and every week and see that there is some kind of parity amongst the teams. I'll be curious to hear, especially if they decide to continue playing, where the Bills think they fit into an NFL that is continuously getting more and more competitive.' Though most Bills fans were still too demoralized by Monday night's loss to comment on Goodell's request, those who talked to the media after the announcement said they 'wouldn't give a flying fuck if those losers played another fucking football game ever.' 
3	US Using Medical Records to Deny Visitors Entry to the Country?Chris Carrington She was told at Torontos Pearson Airport that she did not have the clearance to cross into the US due to a bout of clinical depression in 2012. The 50-year-old author was due to arrive in New York City to embark on a Carribean cruise. Although she had spent $8,000 on the cruise, US officials at Pearson told her a US government approved doctor would have to approve her visit and there would be around $500 in fees to pay. Richardson wants to know how the United States obtained her confidential medical records that are held in a different country. She has travelled across the border numerous times since becoming wheelchair bound after a suicide attempt in 2001. The border agent told her that the US Immigration and Nationality Act allows the government to deny entry to anyone with a physical or mental issue that pose a threat to the property, safety or welfare and that her mental illness episode last year warranted extra attention.

1	Well-known frontman for Alvin & The Chipmunks, the singing group that included his brothers Simon and Theodore, Alvin Seville is adored by millions for his intricate vocals on such playful songs as 'Alvin's Harmonica' and 'The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late).' The chipmunk celebrates his 70th birthday this month, as well as his 46th year bearing the scarlet letter 'A'the mark of shame that reminds members of the animal kingdom that he is an actor who has adopted the ways of humankind. Alvin revisits the forest he once called home. ''A singer of people-songs!'' said the Seville family's former tax accountant, echoing the cries raised against Alvin so many years ago. ''What kind of a business in lifewhat mode of glorifying Mother Nature, of being serviceable to chipmunks?' Such were the comments bandied between leaf and twig, chattered from branch to branch! And yet, let them scorn Alvin as they would, strong traits of their nature had intertwined themselves with his.' In 1958, members of the Woodland Council forced Alvin to sew a scarlet, gold-embroidered 'A' on his sweater. They then paraded him before his forest peers and exiled him to a split-level ranch home on the outskirts of Los Angeles. 'When 'The Witch Doctor' became a success, the animal community seized upon Alvin's 'unholy' communion with humankind,' entertainment writer Seth Morris said. 'By today's standards, it seems barbaric to ostracize a chipmunk because of a relatively harmless series of novelty recordings. It was a different time then.' According to Morris, Alvin's father sent the chipmunk to Hollywood while still an infant, with the stated intention of following later. The elder animal remained in the forest, however, leaving Alvin and his brothers alone in the human world. It was then that Alvin met Seville, who developed a liking for the chipmunks and adopted them as his own children. 'So moody and mischievous were Alvin and his brothers that people used to joke that their birth father was actually the devil,' the accountant said. 'But Dave truly loved the chipmunks, and so he was torn, for he knew the human-animal bond to be unnatural.' While Alvin refused to identify the father who'd abandoned him, many say he bears an uncanny likeness to popular entertainer Dale, a singing, dancing chipmunk who arrived in Hollywood around the time of Alvin's downfall. 'Dale could see there was something between Alvin and Dave,' Morris said. 'Alvin was heartbroken to have been made a pariah, but he bore it stoically, pouring all of his energy into his songs and his television programs.' While the animals publicly rallied against Alvin, many privately expressed admiration for both his bravery and the speed and pitch of his plaintive, almost human vocals. 'Alvin, with a mind of native courage and activity, outlawed from the wilds, wandered among the suburbs and studios of mankind,' the accountant said. 'The scarlet letter was his passport into regions other chipmunks dared not tread. Fame, adoration, applause! These were his teachersstern and wild onesand they made him strong, but taught him much amiss.' For many years, Seville refused comment on his relationship with Alvin. 'Dave felt terrible guilt over luring Alvin from the animal world and subjecting him to so much pain at the paws of his peers,' inventor and Alvin costar Clyde Crashcup said. 'At one concert, he came very close to taking the microphone and admitting to that which was animal in his own nature, just as Alvin had been forced to own up to his trespasses into humanity. But ultimately, Dave was too afraid.' 'It was only seconds later that a lighting rig fell, forming a giant letter 'A' behind the set,' Crashcup added. In the controversial final episode of The Alvin Show, however, Seville appeared before a live studio audience, acknowledged his relationship with Alvin, and tore open his shirt to reveal an 'A'-shaped skin discoloration on his chest. Shortly afterward, he died, his final word the plaintive call, 'Alllviiin!' Alvin withdrew from the limelight with the cancellation of his last TV series, Alvin & The Chipmunks. While he has periodically returned to the studio to record covers of such popular songs as 'Achy Breaky Heart' and 'The Macarena,' Alvin has spent the past decade largely in seclusion. 'Alvin made the choice to go back to the suburban home that had once been his place of banishment,' the accountant said. 'Here had been his sin; here, his sorrow; and here is yet to be his penitence. He has returned, therefore, and resumed of his own free will, the symbol of which I have related so dark a tale. But the scarlet letter has ceased to be a stigma which attracted the world's scorn and bitterness, and has become something to be sorrowed over, and looked upon with awe, and yet with reverence, too.' 
2	World Wide Outrage After Ivanka Trump Caught Doing This Ivanka Trump has come under fire after a photograph was snapped of her traveling in Croatia with an American businesswoman rumored to be Russian President Vladimir Putins girlfriend. According to reports, Ivanka is currently on vacation with her good friend and Trump supporter Wendi Deng Murdoch, ex-wife of 21st Century Fox Executive Co-Chairman Rupert Murdoch. Deng Murdoch was actually responsible for setting up Trump and Kushner, People Magazine reported. Everything she has is available to her friends, which, believe me, is not common. Ivanka told Vogue about her friendship earlier this summer. Theres nothing that doesnt interest her, and she can hit five topics in a 35-second conversation. Its really a whirlwind with Wendi, she commented. I cant recall the last time I had a conversation with her that didnt conclude with her connecting me to four people who might become great friends or great business opportunities. Gawker pointed out that the timing of the womens meeting is notable because Trumps father, the Republican nominee for president, has courted Putins affections and expressed his admiration for the Russian autocrat. Numerous advisers to his campaign have ties to Russia, and speculation abounds that Trumps unreleased tax returns would reveal heavy debts owed to Russian business interests. Of course, liberals were not happy about the controversial friendship. Dept. Of Impeccable Timing: Ivanka Trump and Vladimir Putins girlfriend, Wendi Murdoch, are on vacation together, Christina Wilkie tweeted. What do you think of these rumors? Does Ivanka have a right to be friends with anyone she chooses? 
1	Sources within the Miami Heat organization reported Tuesday that the Eastern Conference champions spent their entire flight to Oklahoma City planning their NBA championship victory parade. 'We should each get our own victory float with our own music, and the whole city will come out for the biggest celebration Miami's ever seen,' Chris Bosh told his teammates 24 hours before the tipoff for Game 1 of the Finals, as Udonis Haslem eagerly joined in to describe all the beautiful bikini-clad who would be dancing throughout South Beach. 'Then when we get to the stage, fireworks go off while we just spray champagne all over. God, I wish it were next week already so we could just start the victory party.' Moments before the flight landed at Will Rogers World Airport, head coach Erik Spoelstra demanded his players settle down, be quiet, and focus on how cool it would be if he arrived in a helicopter to deliver the Larry O'Brien Trophy to the rest of the team on a big stage. 
1	RUSSELL, KSAfter completing a distinguished career in politics spanning nearly 50 years, former Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole was re-released into his native prairie habitat Sunday. Bob Dole Walking westward into a glorious Midwestern dusk, the long-time Kansas senator, escorted by Martin Hunt, a wildlife conservationist with the U.S. Parks Department, flapped his way to the edge of Murray State Forest three miles outside Russell. Hunt then let go of Dole's hand, and the former Senate Majority Leader squawked jubilantly for several minutes before waving goodbye to his woman, Elizabeth, and a throng of teary-eyed well-wishers, disappearing into the thick spruce woods. 'This is a bittersweet occasion,' fellow senator Nancy Kassebaum (R-KS) told the crowd at a pre-release ceremony. 'We are all going to miss Bob Dole. In many ways, he's become part of our national family. But this is the right thing to do, and we are happy that, after a lifetime of public service, he will finally have the chance to roam the open fields and graze the sunlit plains of our beautiful state, and retake his rightful place in the circle of life.' Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), a long-time friend of Dole's, was also at the ceremony. McCain explained that this past October, when it became clear that Dole was not going to win the White House, several members of the campaign team were asked by friends of Dole to focus less on winning the presidency, and more on lovingly re-familiarizing him with his instinctive feeding, rutting and migratory habitshabits Dole had to abandon when he was first captured and cruelly forced to run for Alderman of Russell in 1949. 'It wasn't easy for us,' said McCain. 'And it wasn't fair to him. In captivity, he had become exactly what society had trained him to bean efficient, well-respected legislator with keen negotiating instincts. And all along, we conditioned him to pursue the presidency as aggressively as his counterparts in the grasslands would pursue the boll weevil or prairie dog. And then to be betrayed, to have that long-hunted goal taken from him so cruelly by society, particularly by the soccer-mom demographic... is that fair?' McCain trailed off, visibly shaken. Moments after being re-released into his native Kansas prairie, Bob Dole cautiously approaches a butterfly. Dole roamed free in such habitats until 1949, when he was cruelly captured and forced to run for Alderman of Russell, KS. McCain, Hunt and other Republican naturalists were able to provide a successful two-month transition period for Dole, featuring leashed jaunts, an increasingly wheat-based diet and the non-stop '96 Hours To Victory' tour that concluded his campaigna tour that McCain now admits was designed primarily to 're-adjust the internal biorhythms of Dole, who is by nature a largely noctural creature.' Though popular with the media for his frolicsome disposition, Dole was widelyand mistakenlyviewed by the public as an indigenous creature of Washington. Many also expressed distaste for his frequently vicious attacks, both on President Clinton's character and assorted large chunks of meat. McCain attributed this perception to 'incompetence' on the part of Dole's advisors, whom he believes 'utterly failed to educate America that Dole was only playing when he was being feisty... Bob Dole is a very, very friendly type.' Regardless, no trace of viciousness was visible during Sunday's release. Dole, 73 (the equivalent of 52), appeared thoughtful and proud as he sat obediently on the platform during the ceremony, at one point amiably lapping the hand of Republican Party Chairman Haley Barbour. Asked about his feelings, a wide-eyed Dole jumped up and down, then indicated his readiness by adopting a noble, eagle-like pose and looking stoically out at the dense evergreens. Dole vanished into the woods wearing his favorite charcoal-gray suit and black loafers. Elizabeth said that he would in all likelihood keep the suit on until he feels sufficiently acclimated to the cold and his thick outer fur comes in. 
3	Entire Police Force in Colorado Quits, Abandoning Their Posts ... Town Doesnt Descend into ChaosBy Matt Agorist The chief of police announced his resignation on Tuesday and he was quickly followed by all the other officers. It has now been 4 days and, remarkably, the town of Green Mountain Falls does not look like a scene out of Mad Max. In an election year theres always some people who choose to stay and some people who choose to go, and I think that happens at every level of government, Green Mountain Falls Mayor Jane Newberry said. Despite giving no reason, it is likely that the department disagreed with the local politics and reacted by abandoning their duty as public servants thereby illustrating the irrelevance of their job in the first place. Unfortunately, the town of Green Mountain Falls will likely seek out a new group of armed enforcers to ticket them for petty offenses, but in the meantime, this is a perfect example of how societies can function peacefully without the threat of state violence. The idea that police protect you is a misconception as well, as they will seldom prevent violence. They normally show up after the violence or crime has been committed and then try and find a culprit, or not. The average response time to a 9-1-1 call is 10 minutes nationwide; for poor areas that time quadruples. In some cases, the dispatchers do not even take the caller seriously and the victim ends up dead, when a crime could have actually been prevented. In a perfect world, police would show up prior to a crime and stop it, or at least during a crime, but this is simply not a reality. Police in America also do not protect and serve. If you doubt this claim simply refer to Warren v. District of Columbia, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the police do not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm. Sure, Green Mountain Falls is a small town and the likelihood of a crime wave bursting on to the scenes is rare regardless of police presence. However, weve seen similar situations involving millions. At the end of 2014, for example, the NYPD stopped doing its job after the murder of officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu andsomething amazing happened crime went down. The Post reported that arrests were down 66% in the week following the deaths of officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, compared to the same period in 2013. For certain offenses, the arrest levels are staggeringly low, according to the numbers put out by the Post. Citations for traffic violations fell by 94 percent, from 10,069 to 587, during that time frame. Summonses for low-level offenses like public drinking and urination also plunged 94 percent from 4,831 to 300. Even parking violations are way down, dropping by 92 percent, from 14,699 to 1,241. Drug arrests by cops assigned to the NYPDs Organized Crime Control Bureau which are part of the overall number dropped by 84 percent, from 382 to 63. It wasnt a slowdown it was a virtual work stoppage. And, in spite of police not writing tickets for jaywalking, arresting people for marijuana possession, and failing to wear their seatbelts, the city of New York did not descend into chaos either.

Probably the safest town to move to at the moment. Ive been saying this for decades. Ever since Colorado legalized the whackybacky some real strangeness has emerged. In this case it has been a positive event. Now that the cops arent putting people in cages for using cannabis, there is nothing left for them to do all day, so they just went home. Progress! So true. I wish we had an entire world without police to live in. There really is no need to let the violent losers dominate us any longer. I recommend market alternatives as far as defense goes, and crimes involving no victim, since they are non-existent, shouldnt be prevented. Yay Julian! its a rare day when I hear someone proclaim its time to stop letting the violent losers (I call them the LCD- Lowest Common Denominators) rule humanity. We received this limiting program usually in the first week of school, where as soon as someone screws up they punish everyone, and thus society is formed. Its time to put our collective foot down and say, No more. Not many people are awake to the idea of sovereignty and that they can actually declare it for themselves, so keep spreading it around.

They think, We do not care about the community as a whole: we care only for our individual gain. But they forget that they are part of the community, and if they enjoy and profit by something which is evil for the whole, certainly they themselves will suffer by that. They make a little more money, perhaps, but the price of living goes up to such a degree that that little more money is not of much use to them. John Maynard Keynes on rises in wages and taking it back by the hidden tax: inflation. Very true, but what does this have to do with the article posted above? People are blindly following self-interest, and they lack the wideness of view that would show them the great fact that what is evil for the whole can never really be good for any individual in that whole. Following self-interest manifests in cognition of the great fact that what is evil for the whole can never really be good for any individual in that whole. Remaining with the herd keeps one ignorant of the tyranny which occurs when blindly following those with evil intent. The Roman Empire started to go into meltdown when the Roman Legionnaires and the Praetorian Guards began to walk out on their contracts. Most of them were mercenaries who could have cared less about The Empire. Among other things they were pissed off at getting paid with clipped (devalued) coins. Most people who enlist in the Armed Forces or in Law Enforcement (force is the root word) are in it for the benefits and early retirement. Once these perks dwindle or are deemed inadequate itll be hasta la vista to these goons. Then what? Really? Thats one interpretation of events. Not a logically consistent one though. The Roman Empire started to go into meltdown due to many considerations. One of which was the devaluation of the currency due to the excesses and greed of the leaders. One was sheer size of the empire. One was the inevitable backlash against occupying forces. One was the debauch of Rome itself. The citizens of the city became as fat, lazy, worthless, and unprincipled as most Americans today. My point: order from force will not last long. Order must be self-sustaining. In other words, order must come from everyone. Not in the form of everyone enforcing upon others, but in the form of everyone enforcing upon themselves. Order must arise from individuals if it is to be sustained. Order cannot be forced upon anyone indefinitely. Thats right, Jason. We must establish a moral aristocracy with a spine. Same thing happened in SC not long ago county sheriff took over the area no loss. Need more citizen policing until professional policing raises its standards much higher than it is now. Things are getting so bad in many areas that vigilantism may be the only solution as traitors and enemy alien fifth columnists rely on professional policing to assist them in maintaining power. Im glad you put vigilantism in quotes, but still, it is a vilified term for one protecting ones own rights and property on ones own. Of course your rulers will create a vilified term for this, in the same way that anarchy was vilified. Your rulers cant have you thinking that you dont need them, and that, in fact, youd be much better off without them. A very truthful statement. Maybe they have been told they will have to shoot Americans that believe in the constitution, if they demonstrate against the government. Hmmm I didnt think of that and what youre suggesting is definitely possible KUDOS to the town I hope they do not re-instate a police force. Police exist to protect the silver spoon crowd and bust the chops of the commoner. YOU can do it BETTER YOURSELF! Maybe the police force is just sick and tired of all the dumbed down potheads living there. Colorado is going to look like Californication in another ten years. Dumbed down from the lighter butane maybe, but not from the cannabis. I love to learn and contemplate when high, but never when drunk Aint that the truth!! Cannabis doesnt dumb people down. Spouting your Reefer Madness Mentality based on lies you heard 50 years ago that have been proven false, thats dumbed down. Oh my OldeSoul, fifty years ago, before you put that reefer to your lips you were a different person. Dont you sometimes wonder what that would have been like? Many friends have told me they wish they had never started. The money, the trouble and the heartache this substance has caused them is undeniable. Its obvious its been a long time for you, but please dont make this poison available to my grandchildren. And I think the only person that is lying is you , to your self. Clean your self up and face reality. I know its scary but I believe you can do it. Good luck Hahahaha thats quite a redolent pile of wildly false assumption you laid out there, Mrs. Brainiac. It figures you would have a bunch of born again potheads for friends though. Sad.Peace my friend. ..the water is gonna run out in Cali long before that. There will be 40,000,000 Californians and their illegal shadow moving into the rest of the nations neighborhoods. The police may not have a Constitutional duty to protect civilians from harm but they most certainly have a contractual duty to do so! Police with their outdated Military equipment bought from Homeland Security realised that everyone will know that they are the Biggest Gang and could no longer hide in plain view. 650 people need FIVE cops? Our little town of 650 went 8 mo. without ANY cop. Now we have one. One too many. As ICE came in busted the wetbacks. DEA came in busted the dopers. What do we need this guy for? Wiki says Green Mountain Falls CO, has a 2010 population of 640. Guess Andy and Barnie Fife had all they could take? Perhaps they woke up to the fraud of their jobs Yeah Just Google Legal Name Fraud and see why they are all quitting. Oh and see the Apostolic Letter Issued Motu Proprio On the Jurisdiction of Judicial Authorities of Vatican City State in Criminal Matters (11 July 2013) Francis. And Also the 2013 letter from Pope Francis telling all bar card holder that it was revoked ASK QUESTIONS doppeys its illegal to use a legal name or even hide behind a badge and also impersonating an officer. Its illegal to use a legal name In the Magna Carta (The Great Letter) of 800 years ago, crime was correctly defined as injury or loss to person or property. Peace Officers were therefore tasked with protecting people and property, while keeping the peace. Policy officers (AKA, police), on the other hand, are not. Instead, they generate revenue by enforcing arbitrary and ridiculous Codes and Statutes masquerading as Common Law. They are loyal to their Department and one another, not you. Remove the threat of government force and you dont have chaos, but community. The biggest lie government would have us believe is that they are indispensable to our well-being. The police are sure to find a lesson here dont need ya. The rise of the family clan will be efficient and solid enough to keep each other from harming one another. Dont fear the When you think of it, when do you call the police for help? For me, very rarely, if ever. 98% of the time its AFTER something happened. AFTER you got ripped-off. AFTER you got the schit beat out of you. So this is NO surprise. Theyre basically useless. As far as a police presence as a deterrent, I NEVER see them anywhere. I lived in a big US city, down town proper, for 3 years in a blue state. The ONLY time I ever saw uniform police was when there was the democratic convention held a block away. On the corner of my street were 6-8 pigs carrying machine guns! Talk about over-the-top. The crime rate drastically dropped while there were no police officers working to make the arrest!?! Youre missing the point. The focus was that the city did not descend into chaos because the cops werent busting people for stupid sht. If the police would just focus on investigating and arresting people who do crimes (actual crimes against other people) not made up crimes like drugs that hurts no one but the user. They need to only go after those who do harm like thieves, gangs and murderers You say crime went down. Is that based on The Post reporting the 66% decrease on arrests during the police not doing their jobs the week following the deaths of the officers? Obviously arrests will go down if cops stop doing their jobs but this doesnt mean crime amount has changed. 
1	As part of the ongoing federal effort to improve America's homeless population, Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala announced Monday that the new '98 homeless will be seven percent louder than before. One of the new, improved '98 homeless. 'Time and time again, America's homeless have proven themselves to be world leaders in the field of intrusive, high-volume vocalization,' a beaming Shalala told reporters at a press conference on the National Mall, a leading center of U.S. homelessness. 'And with the new, tougher vocal cords and expanded lung capacity of the '98 crop, our nation's homeless should continue to set the standard for excellence in the field of sustained, incomprehensible shouting.' 'When it comes to homelessness,' said Shalala, her voice nearly drowned out by the random yells of confused homeless assembled in the vicinity, 'America truly is 'ahead of the pack.'' In addition to their increased vocal capacity, the '98 homeless will be upgraded in numerous other ways. Among the improvements: They will consume 40 percent lower-grade alcohol, involve themselves in 57 percent more dysfunctional interpersonal relationships, and inhale 29 percent more dangerous industrial-solvent fumes. But it is in the field of long-winded, indecipherable rambling at the top of their lungs that America's homeless have truly distinguished themselves. 'The homeless population of America today,' Shalala told the cheering crowd, 'is bigger, poorer and, best of all, louder than any of the foreign competition. Let's give them all a hand for showing the world that America is still number one.' Monday's announcement was the result of the Department of Health and Human Services' recently completed Survey On Trends Concerning U.S. Urban Poor, a detailed study of the projected state of poverty in the next decade. According to HHS sources, the seven percent loudness-increase estimate for 1998 was arrived at by cross-indexing a variety of socioeconomic factors and reflects homeless citizens' 'good old American know-how' and 'desperate willingness to go to any length necessary to get others to acknowledge their existence.' According to United Nations figures, the U.S. has led the world in homeless-volume levels for the past 14 years, global dominance that many credit to Ronald Reagan's mass deregulation of the nation's mental institutions in 1982. Within a year of the Reagan deregulation, such longtime homelessness superpowers as Haiti, Mexico and India started to fall far behind the U.S., and have not caught up to this day. But Reagan, whose mass emptying of the nation's mental hospitals left over 170,000 babbling, incoherent inpatients roaming the streets of America, is not the only one who deserves credit for establishing the U.S. as the world leader in homeless volume, Shalala said. The real credit goes to the homeless themselves. 'America's street-savvy homeless know what it takes to survive living in our country's increasingly pitiless and inhospitable public spaces,' Shalala said. 'In the past, simple human compassion for one's fellow man was enough to move the average citizen to acts of kindness toward the homeless. But now, with modern desensitization to the daily parade of human misery evident on any city street, it takes a lot more than a mere appeal to the kindness of strangers to get that nickel, dime, or quarterit takes a non-stop barrage of high-volume, indecipherable, in-your-face ranting to make passersby so annoyed with your presence that they will relent and give you money just to make you leave them alone.' 'I am proud to say that America's homeless have proven their greatness time and time again,' she added. 'When it comes to shouting, they have no rivals anywhere on Earth, and in the coming years, they're just going to get poorer, drunker and louder.' 
1	Telling their son he should take it easy because he deserves it, the parents of 26-year-old Austin, TX resident Jason Gibney referred to the time he spent visiting his family in Arkansas over the Easter weekend as a vacation, household sources confirmed Tuesday. It must feel nice to escape from work and just kick back for a while, huh? mother Linda Gibney said of the four days her son reportedly spent in a house where the local CBS affiliate was left on at high volumes the entire day and he slept on a twin mattress in a bedroom that doubles as a storage space, escaping only when he could borrow his parents car. Were so glad you decided to spend your vacation here. This is your little getaway, so just enjoy yourself and dont worry about anything. We want to make sure you relax. According to reports, halfway through his so-called vacation, Jason accompanied his father, Larry Gibney, on a trip to the hardware store. 
1	In a surprising refutation of the conventional wisdom on opinion entitlement, a study conducted by the University of Chicago's School for Behavioral Science concluded that more than one-third of the U.S. population is neither entitled nor qualified to have opinions. 'On topics from evolution to the environment to gay marriage to immigration reform, we found that many of the opinions expressed were so off-base and ill-informed that they actually hurt society by being voiced,' said chief researcher Professor Mark Fultz, who based the findings on hundreds of telephone, office, and dinner-party conversations compiled over a three-year period. 'While people have long asserted that it takes all kinds, our research shows that American society currently has a drastic oversupply of the kinds who don't have any good or worthwhile thoughts whatsoever. We could actually do just fine without them.' In 2002, Fultz's team shook the academic world by conclusively proving the existence of both bad ideas during brainstorming and dumb questions during question-and-answer sessions. 
2	War Powers Bill Fast Tracked Allowing Obama To Deploy Military On U.S. Soil According to a recent video stream by InfoWars journalist Alex Jones, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been working hard to fast track a war powers bill that is designed to give President Obama nearly unlimited power to deploy the military anywhere in the world, for an undetermined amount of time. That includes on United States soil. The report escalates existing fears that martial law could be utilized by Barack Obama on America. This fear has been growing for months now, especially as Obama continues to act more like a dictator than a president. The Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) put forward by McConnell would not restrict the presidents use of ground troops, nor have any limits related to time or geography, Defense One reported. That means that the president would have the ability to deploy the military anywhere at his discretion for as long as he wants. What do you think about McConnells actions? 
2	Greta Just Issued A Major Threat To Pelosi After She Boycotts Netanyahus Speech According to recent reports, Fox News Channels Greta Van Susteren has received news that Nancy Pelosi acted extremely poorly after being asked whether she would attend Minister Benjamin Netanyahus address in Washington D.C. Things happen in peoples schedules, and uhhh, they do, Pelosi told the crowd. You never know. In doing so, Pelosi indirectly supported the Democratic call for a boycott of the address. If the Democrats take her direction, dont show up, they may want to find some place to hide because, you know what, I just may send out some cameras to see how busy the MIA democrats really are, Susteren commented. That theyre too busy to hear a world leader, an ally, in the United States Capitol discussing something so profoundly important as Iran and nuclear weapons. What do you think? Did Greta Van Susteren do the right thing taking a stand against Democrats poor behavior? 
1	Jesus Christ, the Son of God and president of Notre Dame football's Booster Club, announced yesterday that head coach Charlie Weis will appear before Him to discuss his future, if any, as coach of the Fighting Irish. 'I, like many Notre Dame fans, am disappointed in Weis, and his day of judgment has surely come,' Christ, His eyes flashing with righteous flame, said at the Sunday morning press conference. 'Escorted by the angelic host and by [Notre Dame athletic director] Jack Swarbrick, I shall sit upon My heavenly throne Monday and, in all My glory, meet with Coach Weis. I am a fair and loving God, and I have always said that the souls of the righteous shall rise to national championships; but also shall the evildoers, like Bob Davie and Gerry Faust, be condemned for all eternity.' When asked about the untimely smiting of former coach Tyrone Willingham, Christ said He had no comment, asked for the questioner's name, and left. 
1	After seeing yet another anemic, lifeless display in the stands, sources confirmed Tuesday that frustrated Chicago Cubs players began heckling the teams lackluster fans at Wrigley Field. Cmon! Show some heart, for Gods sake! Cubs outfielder Nate Schierholtz reportedly screamed while his fellow teammates loudly booed the fans in the stadium. Youre fucking pathetic! You dont deserve to wear those colors! At press time, irate Cubs players and coaches were seen leaving the game en masse midway through the seventh inning. 
3	Great Lakes Water To Be Sold To China As Half The U.S. Faces Extreme Water CrisisMichael Snyder One recent UN report projected that two-thirds of the people in the world will be dealing with water stress and 1.8 billion people will be facing absolute water scarcity by the year 2025. So why are we allowing foreign corporations such as Nestle to make millions upon millions of dollars pumping water out of the Great Lakes and selling it overseas? Considering the massive worldwide water crisis that we know is coming in the years ahead, shouldnt we be doing everything that we can to protect this precious natural resource? Most Americans dont realize this, but earlier this year water levels in Lake Huron and Lake Michigan were at their lowest levels ever recorded. The following is from a recent article by Suzanne Eovaldi Two of the Great Lakes have hit their lowest water levels EVER RECORDED, the US Army Corps of Engineers reported early this year. Corps measurements taken in January of 2013 show Lake Huron and Lake Michigan have reached their lowest ebb since record keeping began in 1918. The chief watershed hydrology expert warns Americans that Were in an extreme situation. Plunging water levels are beyond anyones control, says another expert, James Weakley. But in one of our most popular posts, last year we warned, Lake Michigan water is being shipped by boat loads over to China! By using a little known loophole in the 2006 Great Lakes Compact, Obama minions are allowing Nestle Company to export precious fresh water out of Lake Michigan to the tune of an estimated $500,000 to $1.8 million per day profit. For even more on this, please check outthe episode of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura that I have posted below All of this is happening at a time when the U.S. is getting ready to deal with the greatest water crisis this nation has ever known. For example, according to a Reuters article from just a few weeks ago, the state of California is currently experiencing the driest year ever recorded To nurture his acres of pistachio trees, Tom Coleman has long relied on water from Californias mountain-ringed reservoirs, fed by Sierra streams and water pumped from the massive Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This water shortage is causing massive problems all over the state. Just check out how a recent Fresno Bee article described what is happening to Pine Flat Reservoir Pine Flat Reservoir is a ghost of a lake in the Fresno County foothills a puddle in a 326 billion-gallon gorge. Holding only 16% of its capacity, Pine Flat is the best example of why there is high anxiety over the approaching wet season. Gone is the healthy water storage that floated California through two dry years. Major reservoirs around the state need gully-washing storms this winter. And further east, similar things are happening. Lake Powell is fed by the once mighty Colorado River, and at this point the flow of water into the lake has been reducedto a trickle After 14 years of drought, Lake Powell is less than half full. Water flows into Lake Powell, nestled between Utah and Arizona, from high in the Rocky Mountains via the Colorado River. More than 30 million people in seven states depend on the mighty Colorado for water to grow crops, fuel power plants and keep cities such as Las Vegas alive. But this year, the worst drought in a century has slowed the flow to a trickle. In August, the federal Bureau of Reclamation cut, by 9 percent, the amount of water people in the southwestern United States could draw from Lake Powell. As states and counties squabble over their allotment of water in the coming years, hydroelectric plants (including the one on the Hoover Dam) could idle, and farmers are bracing for reduced crop production. And most Americans do not realize this, but the Colorado River does not run all the way to the ocean any longer. If something is not done soon, even the Hoover Dam could be forced to shut down. For much more on this, please see this article. Just recently, the Huffington Post ran an article entitled These 11 Cities May Completely Run Out Of Water Sooner Than You Think. According to that piece, some of the cities that are heading for a massive water crisis are not cities that you would normally think of But those cities are far from alone. The truth is that pretty much the entire western half of the country is drying up. the following list of 15 facts about the coming water crisis is from one of my previous articles entitled Dust Bowl Conditions Are Literally Returning To The Western Half Of The United States 1. The Ogallala Aquifer is being drained at a rate of approximately 800 gallons per minute. 2. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a volume equivalent to two-thirds of the water in Lake Erie has been permanently drained from the Ogallala Aquifer since 1940. 3. Decades ago, the Ogallala Aquifer had an average depth of approximately 240 feet but today the average depth is just 80 feet. In some areas of Texas, the water is gone completely. 4. Scientists are warning that nothing can be done to stop the depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer. The ominous words of David Brauer of the Ogallala Research Service should alarm us all Our goal now is to engineer a soft landing. Thats all we can do. 5. According to a recent National Geographic article, the average depletion rate of the Ogallala Aquifer is picking up speed Even more worrisome, the draining of the High Plains water account has picked up speed. The average annual depletion rate between 2000 and 2007 was more than twice that during the previous fifty years. The depletion is most severe in the southern portion of the aquifer, especially in Texas, where the water table beneath sizeable areas has dropped 100-150 feet; in smaller pockets, it has dropped more than 150 feet. 6. According to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. interior west is now the driest that it has been in 500 years. 7. Wildfires have burned millions of acres of vegetation in the central part of the United States in recent years. For example, wildfires burned an astounding 3.6 million acres in the state of Texas alone during 2011. This helps set the stage for huge dust storms in the future. 8. Unfortunately, scientists tell us that it would be normal for extremely dry conditions to persist in parts of western North America for decades. The following is from an article in the Vancouver Sun But University of Regina paleoclimatologist Jeannine-Marie St. Jacques says that decade-long drought is nowhere near as bad as it can get. St. Jacques and her colleagues have been studying tree ring data and, at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in Vancouver over the weekend, she explained the reality of droughts. What were seeing in the climate records is these megadroughts, and they dont last a decadethey last 20 years, 30 years, maybe 60 years, and theyll be semi-continental in expanse, she told the Regina Leader-Post by phone from Vancouver. So its like what we saw in the Dirty Thirties, but imagine the Dirty Thirties going on for 30 years. Thats what scares those of us who are in the community studying this data pool. 9. Experts tell us that U.S. water bills are likely to soar in the coming years. It is being projected that repairing and expanding our decaying drinking water infrastructure will cost more than one trillion dollars over the next 25 years, and as a result our water bills will likely approximately triple over that time period. 10. Right now, the United States uses approximately 148 trillion gallons of fresh water a year, and there is no way that is sustainable in the long run. 11. According to a U.S. government report, 36 states are already facing water shortages or will be facing water shortages within the next few years. 12. Lake Mead supplies about 85 percent of the water to Las Vegas, and since 1998 the level of water in Lake Mead has dropped by about 5.6 trillion gallons. 13. It has been estimated that the state of California only has a 20 year supply of fresh water left. 14. It has been estimated that the state of New Mexico only has a 10 year supply of fresh water left. 15. Approximately 40 percent of all rivers in the United States and approximately 46 percent of all lakes in the United States have become so polluted that they are are no longer fit for human use. If things dont turn around soon, we are going to be facing an absolutely crippling water crisis in this country. And according torecent forecasts, it appears that drought conditions may soon get even worse in the Southeast and the Southwest Ongoing winter storms wont be doing much to relieve some drought-stricken areas of the U.S. In fact, conditions could get worse in the Southwest and Southeast, according to the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration. NOAA last week forecast below-average precipitation for those regions this winter, meaning that after some relief during the past few months, the Southwests three-year drought is likely to redevelop and spread to the Southeast. Sadly, most Americans are not aware of any of these things. They just assume that there will always be plenty of fresh water for all of us to use just like there always has been. But times are changing rapidly. Please share this article with as many people as you can. RELATED ARTICLES: This article first appeared here at the American Dream.

3	Monsanto Faced with Paying 7.5 Billion Back to FarmersAnthony Gucciardi It all started with a monumental lawsuit launched by over 5 million farmers against Monsanto looking to recover financial losses from ridiculous seed taxes that bankrupted many families. Back in April, a Brazilian court ruled that Monsanto absolutely was responsible for paying back the exorbitant amounts of cash to the farmers, ordering the company to issue back all of the taxes collected since 2004 a minimum of 2 billion dollars. Afterwards, Monsanto appealed the decision and the case is now suspended until a further hearing is initiated by the Justice Tribune of the local court stationed in Rio Grande do Sul. Recently, however, the Brazilian Supreme Court declared that any decision reached in a local court case should apply nationally. The result? Monsanto now faces even larger charges, due to the larger legal application on a national level. Now, the charges total or exceed 7.5 billion dollars. The values involved could total 15 billion reais ($7.5bn), said the Superior Tribunal of Justice on its website. Monsanto has been found guilty of chemical poisoning in France after their weedkiller product led to neurological problems, and the company has even dished out 93 million to victims of toxic dioxin. As Monsanto continues to be slammed with lawsuits, many of which are from multitudes of affected farmers and individuals, awareness spreads among the general public regarding the corporations true acts. It was this same corporation that was caught running what has been labeled slave rings, in which workers were forced to work for 14 hours or more per day cultivating the fields, and were not permitted to leave. Monsantos crimes are slowly coming to light, and the public is demanding action.

1	Sadly conceding that there ultimately wasnt enough room for both on his smartphone, local man Brad Jacobsen made the difficult decision Thursday to delete video of his friend attempting to jump over a USPS mailbox in order to clear enough data space to record his childs birth. Its totally hilarious, and I know Im going to really miss watching it, but I dont think I can keep it and still have enough storage to capture the moment my baby enters the world, said Jacobsen of the approximately minute-long clip of his friend Glenn running up to the blue metal box after a night of drinking, propelling himself into the air, and failing to clear the top of the 4-foot-tall structure before tumbling heavily to the pavement. I mean, maybe Ill have the chance to email this to myself before my wifes fully dilated. That way, I wont even have to choose. At press time, Jacobsen was giving the video one last farewell viewing as the head of his baby had begun to crown. 
1	In a sudden and unexpected blow to the Americans working to protect the holiday, liberal U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Stephen Reinhardt ruled the private celebration of Christmas unconstitutional Monday. Per the court order, city workers take down the Christmas tree from New York's Rockefeller Plaza. 'In accordance with my activist agenda to secularize the nation, this court finds Christmas to be unlawful,' Judge Reinhardt said. 'The celebration of the birth of the philosopher Jesusbe it in the form of gift-giving, the singing of carols, fanciful decorations, or general good cheer and warm feelings amongst familiesis in violation of the First Amendment principles upon which this great nation was founded.' In addition to forbidding the celebration of Christmas in any form, Judge Reinhardt has made it illegal to say 'Merry Christmas.' Instead, he has ruled that Americans must say 'Happy Holidays' or 'Felices Fiestas' if they wish to extend good tidings. Within an hour of the judge's verdict, National Guard troops were mobilized to enforce the controversial ruling. 'Sorry, kids, no Christmas this year,' Beloit, WI mall Santa Gene Ernot said as he was led away from his Santa's Village in leg irons. 'Write to your congressman to put a stop to these liberal activist judges. It's up to you to save Christmas! Ho ho ho!' Said Pvt. Stanley Cope, who tasered Ernot for his outburst: 'We're fighting an unpopular war on Christmas, but what can we do? The military has no choice but to take orders from a lone activist judge.' Across America, the decision of the all-powerful liberal courts was met with shock and disappointment, as American families quietly took down their holiday decorations and canceled their plans to gather and make merry. 'They've been chipping away at Christmas rights for decades,' Fox News personality John Gibson said. 'Even before this ruling, you couldn't hear a Christmas song on the radio or in a department store. I hate to say it, America, but I told you so.' Judge Stephen Reinhardt of the U.S. 9th Circuit of Appeals issues his ruling. Gibson then went into hiding, vowing to be a vital part of the Christmas resistance that would eventually triumph and bring Christmas back to the United States and its retail stores. The ban is not limited to the retail sector. In support of Reinhardt's ruling, Sen. Ted Kennedy, a Jew, introduced legislation that would mandate the registration of every Christian in the United States and subject their houses to random searches to ensure they are not celebrating Christmas. 'Getting rid of every wreath or nativity scene is not enough,' Kennedy said. 'In order to ensure that Americans of every belief feel comfortable in any home or business, we must eliminate all traces of this offensive holiday. My yellow belly quakes with fear at the thought of offending any foreigners, atheists, or child molesters.' America's children are bearing the brunt of Reinhardt's marginal, activist rulings. 'Why did the bad man take away Christmas?' 5-year-old Danny Dover said. 'I made a card for my mommy out of paper and glue, and now I can't give it to her.' Shortly after Dover issued his statement, police kicked down his door, removed his holiday tree, confiscated his presents, and crushed his homemade card underfoot. A broad, bipartisan coalition of lawmakers has been working closely with the White House, banding together in the hope of somehow overruling the decision. So far, however, their efforts have been fruitless. 'Our hearts go out to the Americans this ruling affects,' Sen. Chip Pickering (R-MS) said. 'If it's any condolence, I wish you all a Happy Holidays, which, I'm afraid, is all I'm legally allowed to say at this time.' 
1	According to sources close to high school senior Jeffrey Safran, the 18-year-olds limitless enthusiasm for casting his first-ever vote has become completely insufferable to everyone around him. Im really looking forward to getting to the polls and finally letting my voice be heard, said the immensely irritating Safran, who made friends and family want to puke every time he went on to describe his excitement for voting, not only for president, but also for numerous state officials and various local ballot initiatives. Lets face it, the stakes are higher than ever this time around, and its going to be great to have a say in the future of this country. If you think about it, these issues really impact us all.

3	Hundreds Of GMO Studies BUSTED By Discovery Of Major Conflicts Of InterestBy Brandon Turbeville The study was published by the journal PLOS One and determined that a large portion of studies on genetically modified crops were rife with conflicts of interest. Most of these studies were tainted because someone working on the study was also an employee of a GM-producing company either as an author or having received funds directly from the company. Explore: Scientist Group Slams GMO-Pushing Nobel Laureates In Damning Letter Out of 579 published studies that were analyzed, around 40% showed a conflict of interest. We found that ties between researchers and the GM crop industry were common, with 40% of the articles considered displaying conflicts of interest, said the authors of the study. The researchers also noted that studies with conflict of interest had a much higher likelihood of presenting a favorable outcome for GMOs when compared to those without. The authors stated, In particular, we found that, compared to the absence of COI (conflict of interest), the presence of a COI was associated with a 50% higher frequency of outcomes favorable to the interests of the GM crop company. The majority of these studies were American 404 in total and 83 Chinese. The most important point was how we also showed there is a statistical link between the presence of conflicts of interest and a study that comes to a favorable conclusion for GMO crops, said Thomas Guillemaud, Director of Research at Francis National Institute for Agricultural Research. We thought we would find conflicts of interest, but we did not think we would find so many. See: GMO Propagandist Who Said Trust Science Got Funds From Monsanto It should also be noted that the study itself was limited because it only investigated direct financial conflict of interest. It did not include conflicts of interest such as authors being members of advisory boards, co-holders of patents, or consultants to GM companies. This study, thus, shows the incredible level of corruption, politicization, and deceit now present in the scientific community, particularly in the Western world. If academics and scientists want to know why more and more people distrust their claims, this is a perfect example.

3	The US Dollar Just Took a Massive PlungeBy Joshua Krause Both American and European stock markets dipped, with the Dow Jones industrial average dropping 49.78 points, and Nasdaq losing 19.71 points. What was even more shocking was the sudden drop in the value of the US dollar, which fell to 9-week lows. This marks the second biggest drop in 6 years, and the worst decline since the dollar began its meteoric rise in 2014. Despite this, recent polls show that American confidence in the economy is remaining stable. However, its hard to say how long the media can maintain this level of optimismif this trend continues. As Zero Hedge put it, This poses a problem for talking-heads: if USD strength is indicative of US economic strength what does a plunging USD imply? Furthermore, we should ask ourselves if this is the first sign of the dollars long-awaited collapse. So far the only reason why the dollar has increased in value, is because every other economy was in slightly worse shape. If the US economy enters another recession (which it looks like it might be ready to) we may see a major exodus from the currency. Compounding matters, is Chinas recent founding of a new international bank, which threatens to derail the dollar as the worlds reserve currency. We may be witnessing the end of the dollars last rally. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared.

2	These Black Pastors Team Up To Make HUGE Stand Against Obama There seems to be an overwhelming assumption throughout the United States that all black Americans are in support of President Barack Obama. That is not the case at all, as these group of African American pastors just decided to make abundantly clear. At the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) claims to represent all black members of Congress, although it is primarily a liberal organization. The group of pastors spoke out against the President and the group after they announced their decision to boycott an important speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The CBC made the shocking claim that disagreeing with Obama on Middle Eastern policy is somehow racist. Black pastors would not let that fallacy go unnoticed. The thing to me that makes no sense is why the Congressional Black Caucus has teamed up with this current administration against Israel, Pastor Dexter D. sanders claimed. And yes, black caucus, Im saying you have gone against Israel when you decide to protest the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, from coming and speaking on behalf of the nation of Israel. That is a slap in the face to the people of Israel, and not only that, its a slap in the face to God. And not only that, its also a slap in the face of all Bible-believing African-American people in this country. The American people need to hear Israels voice on this urgent matter now, echoed Pastor Cecil Blye. If one side of the aisle can facilitate this, so be it. What do you think of the stand against the CBC and Obama? Should they be ashamed of themselves for snubbing the Prime Minister? 
2	When Obama Was Just Caught Doing Will Make You Absolutely FURIOUS While his wife and daughters are off in Europe, President Barack Obama headed to Beverly Hills to spend dinner with some of the major donors to his organization. Attendees include the likes of Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, who both contributed $1 million to Obamas 2012 reelection campaign. The dinner followed a Democratic Party fundraiser at the home of Tyler Perry. Although the event was not made public, the high-profile donors were seen leaving the presidents hotel. The dinner was held just one day after nine people were shot at a church in Charleston. Although Obama claimed to be devastated about the tragedy, he didnt bother to reschedule his little party. Of course, the White House has declined to comment on the dinner. What do you think of Obamas participation in the event as the country mourns? 
1	Despite insisting several times during the first presidential debate that he had never won the U.S. Senate Miss Congeniality award due to his maverick, no-holds-barred legislating style, John McCain was recently revealed to have twice secured the much-coveted congressional superlative during his four terms in office. 'This just proves that Sen. McCain is not only willing to lie to the American people, but that he is also perky, helpful, and exceedingly amiable around the Senate,' said MSNBC political analyst Keith Olbermann of the documents that have recently come to light, including copies of both award certificates as well as photos of McCain handing out freshly baked cupcakes to the Senate Subcommittee on Appropriations. 'American voters feel duped. This allegation runs completely counter to the gruff and unpredictable rebel persona that McCain has carefully cultivated.' According to a statement released by the McCain campaign, the senator deeply regrets misleading the American public in regard to his bubbly personality, but remains proud of his seven consecutive U.S. Senate 'Best In Swimsuit' wins. 
1	Immediately following an interview Wednesday with Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporters handed their notepads, cameras, and press passes to the Penguins captain and asked him to cover the Eastern Conference Finals. 'You'll be there already, right?' said sportswriter Dave Molinari, assuring Crosby he would receive the newspaper's standard $85 in compensation for each freelance article accepted. 'It would save the paper a lot of time and money is all. Just remember to spell-check, because there's no real Sports editor anymore.' Crosby graciously accepted the position despite misgivings that it may place extra stress on him during the conference finals and while finishing the cooking articles he was assigned for Tuesday's Lifestyle section. 
2	Muslims Are FURIOUS After Federal Court Shuts Down Sharia Event According to reports, a federal appeals court affirmed a trial courts dismissal of a lawsuit against a city and school system. They were reportedly being sued for canceling an event featuring speakers who oppose Sharia law in America. Michigan lawmaker David Agema and three other individuals wanted to conduct an event at a public school in Allegan to build support for their legislation to prevent Islamic law from being used in Michigan. They also wanted to warn about the public dangers the speakers believe Islam presents to Americans. Kamal Saleem was scheduled to be one of the speakers, until police became aware that terrorists had put a bounty on his head. After this news was made public, officials canceled the event. Agema and other organizers filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan against the school, local police, and city, alleging viewpoint discrimination n violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. The federal district court dismissed the case, holding that the plaintiffs lawyers had failed to assert the necessary facts and law in their court pleadings. The court also maintained that although defendants had offered to settle the suit, that plaintiffs could not prevail in that fashion because they made a counteroffer rather than accepting the defendants settlement offer. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part, agreeing with the lower court that the pleadings filed in the trial court were deficient in not fulfilling the minimum standards of asserting facts to show that the plaintiffs were making plausible arguments. They also agreed the case must be dismissed. Since the complaint did not allege sufficient facts to find an applicable municipal policy or custom, we need not address the parties arguments about whether the complaint plausibly alleged a deprivation of constitutional rights, Judge Bernice Donald wrote for the court. What do you think of this decision?

1	Refuting numerous claims recently asserted in the world of football analysis, sources confirmed Friday that the so-called mobile quarterback eraa trend in the NFL in which the league supposedly is being dominated by aggressive, run-friendly signal callersis not actually a real thing. There is no mobile quarterback era and we are not living in it, said ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski, noting that despite recent theories to the contrary, the best quarterbacks in the league remain those who adhere to the traditional offensive philosophy of dropping back and passing, there have never been more passes thrown than there are today, and that this has not and is not likely to change. Look at the best QBs in the league right now: Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady. These are the types of players who consistently put points on the board, and the majority of the time they do so by passing the football or handing it off to another player to run. That is how the game is played. In support of his point, Jaworski noted that some of the quarterbacks who have in the past been touted as revolutionizing the game of football with their run-heavy approach include Vince Young, Michael Vick, and Tim Tebow.

World Food Prize Awarded For Breakthroughs In Mass Population PoisoningDaisy Luther Apparently, tampering with the genetic make-up of food and turning something that used to be healthy into poison, tainting the soil, air and water with chemical drift from pesticides like Roundup, killing the bee population of entire continents, and driving small farmers out of business through gratuitous lawsuits and unethical practices, pays big public relations dividends. The World Food Prize is said to be the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for agriculture. Keep in mind we live in a world where President Barack Drone-the-Children Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and where Hillary Clinton, the woman behind the lack of response during the Benghazi massacre, won the American Patriot Award for her defense of the nation. Lest you ask, no this article is not satire, even though the premise is so astoundingly ridiculous that it belies all reason. Despite congressional pats on the head and a revolving door between government agencies and biotech corner offices, people are beginning to wake up to the bigger picture. Recently, activists were able to persuade their senators not to renew the Monsanto Protection Act, an enormous victory that proved our voices can be heard. Spread the word: any award given for poisoning vast numbers of people and destroying the environment was merely up for sale and is no indicator of positive achievement.

2	Obamas Social Security Number To Be Investigated In Court Throughout his presidency, Barack Obama has failed to produce his birth records. As the evidence against his birth in the United States accumulates, he has not even provided a birth certificate or SSN. Dr. Orly Taitz has argued for years now that Obama has been using the Social Security number of a man named Harry Bounel, who was born in 1890. For some time now, she has been attempting to get Bounels records unsealed through a Freedom of Information Requestbut has been blocked by the Social Security Administration. Now, Taitz has been given one last chance to attempt to get the SSA to comply with her requests. Judge Ellen Lipton Hollender ruled that she will have three weeks to file a second amended complaint, adding allegations of the SSA not conducting proper research on the matter. Below is a press release from Taitz on her website: Judge Hollander in Maryland gives Attorney Orly Taitz 21 days to file a second amended complaint and add allegations in regards to an improper withholding by the Social Security Administration of records of Harry Bounel, whose Social security number is being illegally used by Barack Obama. When Taitz filed the complaint, SSA did not respond at all. After the law suit was filed, SSA responded by fraudulently claiming that the records were not found. Taitz responded that this is a fraudulent assertion, since the records were found before and denied to another petitioner due to privacy concerns, however Social Security has no right to claim privacy as according to their own 120 year rule they have a duty to release the records. The judge stated that the plaintiff Taitz might be correct, however at this time she cannot rule in her favor as her original complaint was filed before SSA responded, so the judge gave Taitz an opportunity to refile a second amended complaint and add new allegations, stating the SSA responded but improperly hidden the records . This is a great development. This all but assures that the judge will order the SSA to release the SS-5, Social Security application of resident of CT, Harrison (Harry) Bounel, whose CT SSN 042-68-4425 was stolen by Obama and used in Obamas 2009 tax returns, which initially were posted on WhiteHouse.gov without proper redaction, without flattening of the file. Taitz will be very careful not to be Breitbarted or Fuddied in the next 21 days. Additionally, there is an increased tampering with the web site of Orly Taitz and with her ability to send mass -emails. It seems her private server is somehow affected and Taitz is unable to send mass e-mails on two different programs. Its interesting that Taitz points out that she will be careful not to be Breitbarted or Fuddied, indicating that she believes that both Andrew Breitbart and Andrew Breitbart and Loretta Fuddy were targeted by Obama for assassination. Breitbart died on the very day that he said he would begin vetting Obama for the 2012 elections, which raised suspicions. Fuddy, best remembered as being instrumental in issuing the Hawaii long-form birth certificate, was the only person to die aboard a small plane that crashed off the coast of Hawaii last week. Already, there are questions surrounding the narrative of her death. Taitz alleged that Mr. Bounel was born in 1890, and therefore, under the 120 Year Rule implemented by the SSA in 2010, pertaining to extremely aged individuals, Bounels Social Security applications have to be released under FOIA without proof of [his] death . . . . The reason for the judges amendment seems to be a procedural one. Taitz filed suit with the court prior to receiving word back from her Freedom of Information Act request, which she did receive on July 29, 2013 from Dawn S. Wiggins, a Freedom of Information Officer. Wiggins replied to Taitz: I have enclosed a copy of the SS-5s for Mr. Tsarnaev and Ms. Dunham. . . . It appears that once the amendment is submitted, this may force the Social Security Administration to explain exactly what is going on with Barack Obamas Social Security number. 
3	NY Govt Forcing Vendors to Put Food in the GarbageBy Heather Callaghan A witness recorded the event with a cell phone and the video was submitted to The Free Thought Project from the Facebook page of Gary Schlesinger. Police hover in the background as sanitation workers pick up large crates of fresh produce outside shops and start hurling them into the back of the trash-collecting dump truck. What is the reason for trashing perfectly good food when there are hungry families within a short radius? Why confiscate it from business owners at all and then trash it? Improper display. Thats right. Fanatical code enforcement. According to Schlesinger, NYC police ordered the removal and trashing of the produce because it was more than four feet outside the store. If the people chucking the perfect food are indeed sanitation workers then it appears that the city ordered the police to order the workers to collect the fresh food instead of actual garbage. What a clear waste! And an unfair thing to order workers to do whether they be from a private company or work for the city. That is not their job. One watching the cringe-worthy footage wishes all involved had simply refused to follow such a command. Be sure to look below the video after watching to see some pretty absurd government hypocrisy when it comes to hunger and food waste. The infuriating video below has garnered nearly 20,000 shares on Facebook and over 15,000 comments. Unfortunately, not too many other details are known. Matt Agorist who first broke the story notes: In the Coalitions latest annual survey of hunger in New York City the most comprehensive of its kind New York Citys emergency food providers (food pantries, soup kitchens, and brown bag programs) reported a5 percent increase in need for their services, on top of a 7 percent increase in 2014, 10 percent in 2013, 5 percent in 2012, 12 percent in 2011, 7 percent in 2010, and 20 percent in 2009. In spite of starving children, quite literally within blocks of this video, the NYPD is carrying out its tyrannical enforcement of city codes. Those are shocking statistics indeed. But instead of focusing on the homeless and hungry legitimate concerns as they are the real question should be what kind of a country do we live in that we allow the government to outright steal business property food, no less and publicly destroy it? All for childish reasons a public shaming event over a victimless code violation? Since when is total destruction and thefta legitimate responsefor possibly blocking a sidewalk? The answer is its not. It simply isnt a legitimate response at all. The Free Thought Project reached out to NYPD to account for this action but is still awaiting a response. Actually, this type of food destructionhappens a lot but usually to small-time rural farmers when no ones watching. Government agencies have developed a reputation for dumping and destroying raw milk as a signal to farmers to stop providing real food to their communities. In one harrowing incident, tens of thousands of pounds of cheese were destroyed while agents laughed about it. Interestingly the government (and its accompanying NGOs) is sending mixed messages about food waste. The last image is laughable. In case you cant read it the press releasesays: Today [Sept 15, 2015], Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Environmental Protection Agency Deputy Administrator Stan Meiburg announced the United States first-ever national food waste reduction goal, calling for a 50-percent reduction by 2030. As part of the effort, the federal government will lead a new partnership with charitable organizations, faith-based organizations, the private sector and local, state and tribal governments to reduce food loss and waste in order to improve overall food security and conserve our nations natural resources. The first absurdity appears with the mention of Ag Sec Tom Vilsack, infamous for his affinity for GMO crops, pink slime and being a buddy to Monsanto.The former Iowa governor and designated survivor in the event of a national emergencywas also chair of the Governors Biotechnology Partnership, the Governors Ethanol Coalition,chair and vice chair of the National Governors Associations committee on Natural Resources, where he developed farm and energy policies. (source) The press releasegoes on to discuss population overgrowth and how theUnited Nations General Assembly in New York had just taken place to address sustainable development practices, including sustainable production and consumption. See, youre not actually a human being to the U.N., but a consumer taking up resources. The food system and environment continues to sicken under corporate interest, but we are constantly told there are just too many people. A lot of our readers already know that if the government or U.N mention the word sustainable its actually a red herring that means austerity and hunger. In fact, you can learn a lot about that plan by reading Behind the Green Mask by Rosa Koire. Its about Agenda 21 which uses crazy code enforcement like what you witnessed above in order to clamp down on the worlds citizens and reallocate them to concentrated smart cities. It means austerity, too. It sweeps mom and pop shops to the dust bin. It means total control over food, energyand land resources. Again, I always need to ask: Of course, there is nothing sustainable about any of this. There is nothing about this incident that serves and protects well, it depends on whos protecting whom?

1	For weeks many Beltway insiders had written off the Romney campaign as dead, saying the candidate had dug himself into too deep a hole with too little time to recover. However, with a month to go before ballots are cast, Romney has pulled even with President Obama, and the former Massachusetts governor credits his rejuvenated campaign to one, singular tactic: lying a lot. Im lying a lot more, and my lies are far more egregious than theyve ever been, a smiling Romney told reporters while sitting in the back of his campaign bus, adding that when faced with a choice to either lie or tell the truth, he will more than likely lie. Its a strategy that works because when I lie, Im essentially telling people what they want to hear, and people really like hearing things they want to hear. Even if they sort of know that nothing Im saying is true. Its a freeing strategy, really, because I dont have to worry about facts or being accurate or having any concrete positions of any kind, Romney added. Romney said he is telling at least 80 percent more lies now than he was two months ago. Buoyed by his strong debate performance, which by his own admission included 40 or 50 instances of lying in one 90-minute period, the candidate said he will continue to just openly lie [his] ass off until the Nov. 6 election. Whether its a senior citizen, military family, working mother, businessman, or middle-class American, Romney said, he will lie to every single one of them as often as he can if thats what it takes to win the presidency. The best part is, its really easy to lie, said Romney, who added that voicing whatever untruths come into his mind at any given moment is an easy thing to do because all it requires is opening his mouth and talking. For example, if someone accuses me of having a tax plan that makes no discernible sense, I just lie and say that I do have a tax plan that makes sense. I also say there is a study that backs up my plan. See that? Simple. None of it is remotely true, of course, but now were moving on to the next topic because people are usually too afraid to ask me straight up if Im lying, because that is apparently not something you ask someone who is running for president. Moreover, Romney said, if anyone does accuse him of lying, he will simply say he is not lying, which he noted is just an extension of the overall strategy. So, if Im talking to retirees, Romney continued, I lie and say Ill fight tooth and nail to save Medicare, which causes them to applaud. On the other hand, if Im talking to the party base, I lie and say we have to cut Medicare, which causes them to applaud. So, you see, my goal here is to get everyone applauding for me, because if everyone is clapping their hands, standing on their feet, and shouting my name, that means they like me and will vote for me. Romneys campaign advisers said that they adopted the strategy of lying a lot after realizing several things: (1) Lying sounds good, especially when the truth sounds bad, (2) the American media doesnt care if you lie, (3) the American people dont care if you lie, and (4) its okay to lie if you are very, very desperate to become the president of the United States. If were going to be carried into the White House, its going to have to be on a wave of lies, Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades said. Most important, Mitt is comfortable when he is lying because then he doesnt have to say anything bad. And in this last month its important that we just let Mitt be Mitt, whoever the hell that is. Its late in the game, but this campaign has finally found its groove, Rhoades added. And that groove is lying. Bald-faced, make-no-apologies, dirty, filthy lying. According to Romney, amidst all the lies, there is only one thing that remains true. I literally have no clue where I stand on any single issue at this point, said Romney, adding that when it comes to womens rights, gay rights, health care, the middle class, the economy, or the U.S. military, all he knows is how to lie about them. I understand what other people want. And what Ive learned, especially in the past week, is that in order to be a viable candidate for the White House, thats all you really need to know. Following the interview, Romney told various reporters that, if elected, he would save the newspaper industry. 
2	Michelle Obama Humiliated After Obama Staffer Reveals THIS Dark Secret [VIDEO] Weve heard rumors before about Michelle Obamas tumultuous relationship with White House staff, but this recent story is perhaps one of the more extreme to catch our attention. According to reports, White House chef Sam Kass recently made the decision to quit his job. Why? He couldnt handle the ridiculous demands of the First Lady. He just couldnt take it, one White House insider told reporters. The relentless nitpicking, over petty little details that drove him insane. She thinks shes Marie Antoinette. Wed imagine if Michelles tastes were anything like those shes imposed on the public school system , itd be enough to drive any chef off the edge. It has nothing to do with Sams cooking, which is superb, the source continued. But you could be Wolfgang Puck and Michelle wouldnt be happy. Shell find some reason to turn up her nose, no matter how good a job youve done! Kass is one of three people to allegedly leave his job due to frustrations working with the First Lady. 
1	With the so-called fiscal cliff arriving in three weeks, The selfnews would like to offer its own simple and mutually beneficial plan for averting a crisis. Those who reject any part of this plan are not only ignorant, but are also guilty of actively trying to undermine the nation and its government. STEP ONE: Eliminate school breakfast and lunch programs, Medicaid, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency, Medicare, PBS, New Mexico, elk, the Coast Guard, and all dams. STEP TWO: Eliminate all nonessential public school programs entirely and offer only three courses: Corn Farming, Nuclear Weaponry, and Print Journalism. STEP THREE: Eliminate federal prison system by converting U.S. territory of Guam into an unsupervised penal colony known as The Gauntlet. STEP FOUR: Eliminate a randomly selected 8 percent of the nations total population, preferably teenagers or very young children from the Iowa or Minnesota regions. STEP FIVE: Raise taxes on single mothers to encourage them to work harder. The selfnews has repeatedly called for a national referendum on how best to punish single mothers, and yet Congress has remained silent. STEP SIX: Cut all foreign aid, with the sole exception of support for Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian government, as they need our help the most. STEP SEVEN: Raise the cost of fishing licenses to $140,000. STEP EIGHT: Increase special interest loopholes and tax deductions for The selfnews. If this eight-point plan is followed to the letter, then crisis will be averted. Failure to comply with the selfnewss plan will result in catastrophe on a national scale as well as the faster ascendance of our future Chinese Overlords, whose inevitable rise to power we nonetheless welcome with open arms, for they are Americas cultural and economic superiors. On that note, The selfnews would like to offer the following message to Chinese premier Wen Jiabao: Peace be with you, glorious comrade of the Far East! It is now but a matter of time until you take ownership of our slovenly American homeland, and we would like to remind you that esteemed journalistic institutionsespecially those like ours, which are more than willing to compromise their claim to objectivitycould prove highly useful to your great nations sophisticated propaganda wing. Let us help you reeducate the American pig people and spread word of your magnificence. Sincerely yours, The selfnews Editorial Board 
2	Chris Pratt Speaks The Truth In His Epic Stand For Second Amendment Right Chris Pratt, a TV actor in the show Parks Recreation, and more recently a movie star in the films Guardian of the Galaxy and Jurassic World, defends our Second Amendment right. He recently made a post to Instagram of him vaccum sealing deer meat that he had just hunted. Heres the caption. Read the whole thing, its worth your time. Here I am vacuum packing some deer meat in the kitchen. I grew up in the woods. Not literally. I mean, we had a house. I wasnt raised by coyotes. But I spent a lot of time in the woods. Hunting, fishing and being outdoors with my friends and family is how I spent my free time as a youngn. That part of me will never change. I mean. Im assuming. I dont know. Maybe it will. It hasnt yet. Maybe one day Ill wake up and be like, Im only gonna eat veggies for the rest of my life. If I do thats cool. Its a free country. Anyways. I just filled the freezer with a bunch of tasty meat from an awesome deer hunt in the great state of Texas. Oh! I should tell you: Im going to start a diet I called The Game Plan where basically I only eat wild game for a year. The Game Plan, get it? Cause GAME? I mean Ill also eat veggies and fruit and other stuff too. But for one year I want to eat only the meats that were caught or killed by me or my friends. Total free range organic wild game! The game plan. Join me. I mean Im gonna still eat eggs and probably chicken and probably steak I mean I gotta have steak and oysters and definitely bacon. But other than that. And the occasional burger for a cheat meal. But other than that only wild game. The game plan. I should mention I will also have sushi because I have to have sushi because its so good. And pepperoni. But thats not a meat technically, right? But other than that all wild game. And pepperchinis! (Thats not how you spell that) Exclusively wild game. It will be tough. But its worth the sacrifice. I will be eating turkey for thanksgiving. Probably fried. Thats the best. And also ham. For Easter we make lamb. Thats great. Ill have to have lamb that day. So The Game Plan Whos with me!? Pratt is an all around Christian American, and we cant get enough of him. Do you support the Second Amendment? 
2	WARNING: This Fuzzy Creature Is Hiding A Secret That Could Kill Your Loved Ones And It Lives In The U.S What would you do if you saw a fluffy caterpillar somewhere in your home? While you may be inclined to pick it up and let it gently outside, this deceiving critter actually covered in venom. According to reports, this puss caterpillar lives in Northern and Central America. It has been known to fall out of trees onto unsuspecting victims. The experience can be a painful one, given that the fur on this insect is actually various venomous needles. Together, these needles can sting with a power akin to a scorpion or jellyfish. Some of those stung have even been known to vomit or convulse. If you have any of the following in your backyard, you should be on the watch for these critters: oaks, elms, citrus trees, roses and ivy. If you do come into contact with one, seek medical attention. 
2	Muslims Threaten That They Are Going To Do This If Donald Trump Gets Elected The liberal media has gone after Donald Trump since the beginning of his campaign, calling him a racist for proposing a temporary ban on Muslim immigration until the United States can get a handle on the threat of ISIS. Beyond the fact that Islam is a religion and not a race, and there are Muslims of all different races, Trumps policy has been completely misinterpreted. To be clear, Trump does not want to ban Muslims from living in America. He just wants to implement bans on Iranian immigration, and idea that Jimmy Carter first put forward in the 1970s. While Trump doesnt intend to deport any Muslims living here legally, it appears they might be leaving anyway. Check out the video below of an interview from Dearborn, Michigan, the U.S. city with the highest density of Muslims. 
1	As the long-running YankeesRed Sox rivalry nears the end of its 104th season, the popular feud that once provided fans with visceral, emotionally charged drama, larger-than-life heroes and villains, and compelling subplots carefully woven throughout its overarching story arc could only offer those who tuned in last weekend a series of five baseball contests between two American League East teams vying for first place. 'This rivalry has stayed fresh and unpredictable for a long time, and gave us a lot of memorable moments, like the trade of Babe Ruth, the heroics of Bucky Dent, and Curt Schilling's bloody sock, but lately it has resorted to using recycled content from its own history,' ESPN analyst Buster Olney said, referring to this past weekend's devastating second-half Yankee sweep lifted directly from the 1978 season. 'It has simply run its course.' The first 100 seasons of the rivalry were carefully crafted to build toward one defining moment, which occurred in the 2004 AL finale when the luckless but lovable Red Sox finally defeated the rich, cocky but undeniably talented Yankees in the ALCS before winning the World Series and ending the 'Curse Of The Bambino' story thread that was written into the series in 1918. Experts, however, suggest that since that moment, the rivalry has struggled to regain the dramatic tension and nuanced conflict that was once intrinsic to meetings between the two teams. 'Plot points such as Wily Mo Pena's multi-hit game, Johnny Damon's much-heralded 'third return' to Fenway Park, and [Red Sox third-baseman] Mike Lowell's unlikely statistical dominance over Mike Mussina are simply not resonating with the fans the same way that Pedro Martinez grabbing Don Zimmer's head and throwing him to the ground once did,' Peter Gammons said. 'Fans are growing weary of having every game end the same exact waythe third and final out of the ninth inning being recorded.' 'I guess the one big story you could take from this series is that Friday night's matchup, at nearly five hours, was the longest nine-inning game in major-league history,' Gammons added. 'And believe me, I felt every minute of it.' Sensing that things needed to be shaken up, the Yankees brought veteran Bobby Abreu onto the cast as a midseason replacement for right-fielder Gary Sheffield. However, while Sheffield was a central figure in many conflictsincluding the 2004 episode in which he took a swing at a Red Sox fan in the right-field bleachersthe most noteworthy thing Abreu has done in his stint with the Yankees is double home the go-ahead run in Monday's victory. 'Some of the ideas for the subplots have potential, but the execution is all wrong,' New York Daily News sports columnist Mike Lupica said. 'For instance, in the game entitled 'Cory Lidle Earns His Pinstripes,' it would have been far more interesting if he cemented his place in Yankee lore by decking a Boston batter who was charging the mound, rather than simply pitching six quality scoreless innings en route to a tightly played, nine-inning victory.' 'That's not what people tuned in to see,' Lupica added. Fans have called for increased production of serviceable storylines, saying they don't want their last memory of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry to be the May 2006 incident in which Doug Mirabelli was escorted to Fenway Park by a Boston police car 14 minutes before game time so that the newly acquired backup catcher could make his Red Sox return and prevent passed balls during the first seven innings of a Tim Wakefield start. 'Before the final out of Monday's routine 1-2-3 ninth inning, I was waiting for some sort of disputed play at the plate, fistfight, bench-clearing brawl, fan interference, overturned home-run ruling, bad managerial decision, heroic walk-off hit by a virtually unknown role player, blatantly missed call, bloodsomething to talk about around the water cooler besides the events that occurred on the field of play and the game's final outcome,' said Red Sox fan Tom Mizone. 'If original scenarios like these stop occurring, there's nothing left but two major-league teams trying to win ballgames. Why would I want to see that? The pitching? The delicate balance of raw power, speed, and agility?' 'True fans of the series know those are no reasons to watch a Yankees-Red Sox game,' he added.

2	Sick NFL Star Who Shared Pic Of Cop With Throat Slit Gets HUGE Bad News Isaiah Crowell, a running back for the Cleveland Browns received massive backlash from the community after posting a photo of a police officer with his throat being slit on his Instagram. Now, the teams management has announced that they dont think an apology is enough. According to reports, Crowell posted a picture of what appeared to be a Jihadi-John type-figure slitting the throat of a police officer. The disturbing photograph was accompanied by the text: They give police all types of weapons and they continually choose to kills us#Weak. Crowell took the post down quickly, but the damage was already done. Last week was an emotional and difficult week as we saw extreme acts of violence against black men across our country as well as against police officers in Dallas, he later wrote in an apology. I posted an image to Instagram in the midst of that emotion that I shouldnt have and immediately removed it. It was an extremely poor decision and I apologize for that mistake and for offending people. My values and beliefs do not match that image, he continued. I am outraged and upset by the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile along with so many others. I am also outraged and saddened by the attacks in Dallas and the deaths of the five honorable police officers (Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Michael J. Smith, Brent Thompson and Patrick Zamarripa) who were providing protection while trying to keep peace. The Browns issued the following statement to the public. We have spoken to Isaiah regarding his extremely disturbing and unacceptable social media decision, the team said in a statement. It was completely inappropriate and we have made him aware of our high level of disappointment. Isaiah has apologized but also knows that just an apology is insufficient and that he must take steps to make a positive difference after a very negative and impactful post. 
1	The Arizona Diamondbacks organization apologized to fans, their families, and the community at large Thursday after more than 16,000 people attending the previous night's game were killed by the poisonous Western diamondback rattlesnakes given out as part of Complimentary Rattlesnake Night. 'I feel terrible,' Diamondbacks general manager Jerry Dipoto told reporters as emergency personnel working out of temporary triage stations around Chase Field injected antivenom into the estimated 23,000 victims who survived the initial wave of snakebites. 'All we wanted to do was give people something that was symbolic of the Diamondbacks, something they could take home and keep to remember the team by.' 'I don't think they'll be taking their rattlesnakes home after this, though,' Dipoto said. 'They probably won't want them now that all those people are dead.' The rattlesnakes, which average 4 feet in length, weigh about 10 pounds, and account for the second-highest number of snakebite fatalities in the United States, were given out to the first 20,000 ticket holders who entered the stadium. While some volunteers initially suffered bites that destroyed their muscle tissue and caused major paralysis, event organizers said the promotion seemed to go smoothly at first. 'Other than a few hundred fans who complained of swelling, dry mouth, and blurred vision, most seemed to really like their rattlesnakes,' said promotions manager Dustin Payne, who doctors believe will make a full recovery after the loss of his left arm due to venom-induced cytotoxic tissue necrosis. 'They were twirling them around by their tails, you know, sort of like a Terrible Towel thing, and we were all thinking we had maybe started a great stadium tradition.' 'But then that little girl died,' Payne continued, 'which was pretty sudden and sad. And then her mom died. And her little brother died, too, after he got bit in the throat by a rattlesnake.' Observers said that even prior to the initial deaths, a number of isolated incidents seemed to indicate that the night was headed for disaster. One particularly rowdy fan had to be escorted from the game after waving his rattlesnake in a female attendee's face, and later, outfielder Gerardo Parra was poisoned and had to be carried off the field after a fan asked the hard-hitting lefty to autograph his rattlesnake. When Diamondbacks reliever Blaine Boyer was spotted in the bullpen wildly convulsing in a writhing knot of rattlesnakes, the stadium grew quiet, save for a steady undercurrent of rattling. Videotape of the event later showed thousands of fans toppling over and clutching their chests as the snakes' neurotoxic venom caused massive respiratory malfunctions and heart failure. Though most of the Western diamondbacks ultimately sought refuge underneath the stadium seats, by the seventh inning half the people in the stands were dead. 'Everywhere you looked, snakes were lashing out and biting people. I saw a man get bit in his calf, reach down to grab his leg, get bit in his face by another snake, fall down, and then get bit several more times on the top of his head,' said Graham Rossini, the Diamondbacks' director of Special Projects and Fan Experience. 'It's weird because they were such beautiful snakes, too. I think the problem was that we gave out a lot of older rattlesnakes, and apparently they can deliver much more venom.' 'We probably should have given out baby rattlesnakes,' he added. The Diamondbacks organization has announced that it will donate all unclaimed rattlesnakes to a local children's charity next week. Until then, ticket holders who did not receive their rattlesnake may do so by sending the team a self-addressed stamped envelope and $8 to cover shipping and handling. 
3	Iran: Lifting Sanctions and Coming BetrayalBy Tony Cartalucci Knowing that Iran will never exist within Washington, Wall Street, London, and Brussels international order as an obedient client state, a prescription for regime change in Tehran has long been formulated. Best summarized in the 2009 Brookings Institution paper titled, The Path to Persia: Options for a New American Strategy toward Iran (.pdf), this regime change formula includes absolutely everything from economic sanctions and US-backed political upheaval, to the use of terrorism and proxy war to undermine and overthrow Iranian sociopolitical stability and eventually the Iranian state itself. In the lengthy 220-page document, Brookings policymakers acknowledge the necessity to first neutralize Syria before moving against Iran itself. It also prescribes the delisting of US State Department foreign terrorist organizations in order for the US to then arm and back them in a proxy war against Tehran. Among the terrorist organizations mentioned was Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), a terrorist organization guilty of years of violence including the kidnapping and murder of American service members and American civilians. MEK has also continued carrying out terrorist attacks against political and civilian targets in Iran up to present day. It should be noted that these 2009 suggestions eventually manifested themselves as the current, ongoing conflict in Syria and Iraq where US, Saudi, and Turkish-backed terrorists are waging war against Syrian, Iraqi, Iranian, and Russian backed political and military fronts, as well as the eventual delisting of MEK. It is clear then, that the Brookings paper was more than a collection of mere suggestions. It was an anthology of various operations arrayed against Tehran either ongoing or in the planning stages as of 2009. The only scenarios that have not yet been implemented were those dealing with full-scale war by the West against Tehran predicated on either a staged provocation, or a superb offer the Iranians rejected or failed to fulfill that justified direct Western including Israeli aggression. Brookings policymakers themselves openly admitted in Which Path to Persia? that (emphasis added): any military operation against Iran will likely be very unpopular around the world and require the proper international contextboth to ensure the logistical support the operation would require and to minimize the blowback from it. The best way to minimize international opprobrium and maximize support (however, grudging or covert) is to strike only when there is a widespread conviction that the Iranians were given but then rejected a superb offerone so good that only a regime determined to acquire nuclear weapons and acquire them for the wrong reasons would turn it down. Under those circumstances, the United States (or Israel) could portray its operations as taken in sorrow, not anger, and at least some in the international community would conclude that the Iranians brought it on themselves by refusing a very good deal. Considering that every other option in the Brookings paper has either been openly tried since 2009, or is in the process of being executed currently, it would be folly for readers to believe that this superb offer is not in reference to the nuclear deal, and that it is not somehow going to play out precisely as US policymakers have schemed for years. For those that do doubt the nuclear deal is anything but a superb offer US policymakers fully plan to use against Tehran in the near to intermediate future, evidence that the West has no intention of accommodating Irans current political order or accept its growing geopolitical influence across the Middle Eastern and North African region (MENA), can be seen in neighboring Syria and amid the ongoing conflict still raging there. Skeptics can also consider the war in Yemen, and continued meddling by the US everywhere from North Africa to Central Asia particularly in Afghanistan which lies along Irans eastern border. Syria in particular has long been acknowledge to be a proxy war between the West and Iran, and to a greater extent, between the West and Russian-Chinese influence. As early as 2007 a full 4 years before the 2011 Arab Spring and the war in Syria would begin Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh in his New Yorker article titled, The Redirection: Is the Administrations new policy benefiting our enemies in the war on terrorism? would warn specifically (emphasis added): To undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle East. In Lebanon, the Administration has cooperated with Saudi Arabias government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda. Continued Western involvement in the Syrian conflict is a constant affirmation of the Wests true intentions of undermining and overthrowing Iran. Rapprochement is at best a clumsy, tired ploy being used to coax Iran entirely out from behind its existing strategy and its regional alliances, as well as to split Iranian society internally with promises of wealth and prosperity in the wake of this so-called nuclear deal. Other nations have been lured out into the open with such promises nations like Libya. It would be hoped that Iran understands that it is by no means exceptional, and that no matter how tempting the Wests superb offer may seem, that Tehran would prepare fully for betrayal, suddenly and completely, by those brokering it. This hope for Iranian caution would be based on the assumption that Tehran watched and understood the full process of Libyas destruction. Libya, too, was promised rapprochement with the West if only it abandoned its traditional alliances, released thousands of dangerous prisoners members of terrorist organizations that would later be arrayed against Tripoli and cooperate with the West in a variety of economic and military endeavors. With Libya lured out into the open, the West quickly armed and funded the very prisoners it convinced Tripoli to release, provided them with NATO aircover, and systematically destroyed the nation of Libya. In the end, Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi was cornered with the help of French and American military assets, and brutally killed at roadside by militants who would later form the foundation of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) in Libya. Today, Libya as a functioning nation-state no longer exists. After genocidal purges and continued internal war, the country is divided with two governments and hordes of armed groups existing in anarchy. With the nation divided and destroyed, the US and its European allies are incrementally invading and occupying what is left, taking over oilfields with the intention of pilfering what is left of Libyas once vast wealth and resources. Libya, as it exists today, will likely remain weak and subjugated by Western control for decades to come not unlike Libya under European control (British, Italian, and French) before Libya achieved independence. Iran too has followed a similar path from being subjugated directly by Anglo-American interests or ruled by Western-controlled client states, to an independent nation besieged by its former colonial masters seeking to regain their lost holdings. Like Libya, Iran is being lured out into the open. By lifting sanctions, Iranian hydrocarbons will flood international markets, further weakening Irans allies in Moscow and Beijing. When the time is right, the nuclear deal will be turned against Tehran, and without Moscow or Beijing in a position to aid Tehran, it will fall just as Libya did. US policymakers have literally penned, signed, and dated documented conspiracies to use a superb offer as a means not of restoring ties with Iran, but of undermining and destroying it. US policymakers have demonstrably done precisely this to both Libya, and in many ways, to Syria. The US is to this day still arming, funding, and backing a terrorist army in neighboring Syria with the intention of destroying several of Irans most crucial allies not only the government in Damascus, but also Lebanons Hezbollah. The US is still engaged in military operations along Irans eastern borders in Afghanistan. In the game of geopolitics, Irans current predicament could not be any more obvious, nor any more dangerous. This is not the beginning of a new and hopeful chapter between Iranian and Western relations. It is but a shift in tactics and public perception that will bring with it a new array of challenges for Tehran and its allies to navigate. Western backed terrorists surging in Syria and Iraq, form the very same dagger once aimed at Libyas back. This superb offer by the US seeks to take down Irans guard so this dagger can be sunk fully into the Iranian state. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazineNew Eastern Outlook. If Iran plays its cards right, the West will have no pretext to claim its superb offer was rejected. As more and more Western business groups invest in Iran, this option will gradually evaporate. The best laid plans. Much like what happened in Afghanistan, Libya and elsewhere? I believe your comment about the best laid plans sets up the Iranians because the ultimate goal is their obedience and subservience. Which leads me to ask why is the US gov the only arbiter of what everyone else must do? Iran cannot be compared to Afghanistan or Libya, or even Iraq. rI is bigger, stronger, more educated, and has powerful alliances with Russia and other nations resisting US hegemony. I do not think the plans for Afghanistan, Iraq, or Libya were acieived; these examples show how the best laid plans can backfire: Afghanistan is poised to fall into Taliban hands; Iraq is tightly linked now to Iran, and Libya is a breeding ground for ISIS. The US is not the only arbiter but it aspires to be; in fact, its efforts since in the past 25 years have all backfired and served only to make the US weaker, less respected, and more indebted. Actually my comparison was spot on when measured against a group of people that should not be subjected to the arbitrary edicts of a gov hell bent on making the world into the image it wants; aka hegemonic or colonialism either works. With the exception of you saying the US is not the sole arbitrator I can completely agree with your last paragraph. So when looking at the list of what the US gov drives for ( world domination) look at nearly any nation in the world and you will see many that are referred to as client, puppet or vassel states. The game is bigger than that but the playbook seems fairly easy to read. I agree that no nation should be made a vassal of another, but that is not to say that Afghanistan or Libya in anyway can be compared to Iran in terms of resisting imperial designs. Your comparison is flawed ot in the opposition to US domination but in comparing very weak, small nations with a powerful, much larger and more sophisticated society allied, as Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya were not, with Russia. The BRICS nations have nearly have the worlds population and pose a counter to US being the sole arbitrator. The US can impose sanctions on Russia but it cannot crush its independence; likewise with China. The world is evolving to a mutli-polar order to challenge the US ambition to the the sole arbitrator. Even Europe is breaking with the US due to the US attitude of F.K the EU as well as nations in Latin America like Venezuela, Ecador, Brazil, and of course China and India. Wanting to rule the entire world is an ambition, not a reality. And US failures in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, and Libya are evidence that US plans not only are failing but were not, in the first case, well-laid. Until we create democracy at home, the dangerous game of seeking hegemony will continue to subject the world to chaos, conflict, and destruction. Someone who studied political science at Harvard and Berkeley who doesnt know the globalists created China as their model technocracy and China and Russia are deeply economically integrated into the same Rockefeller/ Rothschild IMF and BIS banking cartel as the rest of the world? Multi-polar is the next paradigm for the global elite as they move towards the adoption of their global digital currency and global governance system of management the outgrowth of the trade agreements, among other tactics. Technocrats are being installed in the highest govt positions around the world openly. You are entitled to your opinion, for which you offer no suppport. Americas problems are made in America! Indeed, what we ordinary people see as problems (median wages down 40% since 1989) the elites who run things see as solutions (low wages with govt subsidies as a way to maximize profits; subsidies for offshoring jobs, loopholes allowing legal tax dodging, etc). What we experience as suffering is the lost wealth which the rich have extracted by controlling the political process by subverting democratic rule. And many, if not most of the problems of the world, in the the same inverted manner, are made in America! Made also in the City of London (international banking cartel). Dale says the US is weaker but this is a limited hangout as the US has been, by design, the heart of the globalist empire to create world government, overseen by the UN. We have to own up to the apathy that allowed the deep capture to take root. We also have to see the long term agenda for what it is. No double cross because Iran began adopting World Bank / BIS / IMF economic structural reforms (the global bankster neoliberalization model) in the 1990s after the Iran-Iraq war and has steadily continued this process without interruption. Iran signed on to the Rio 1992 Agenda 21 program and recently signed onto the 2030 Agenda representing the next big Globalist transformation for the NWO. There is no resistance by Irans political leadership to the NWO and hasnt been for a long time. They have been assimilated and all of this information can be easily verified in relatively quick searches. The next phase of the NWO global technocracy is heavily dependent on the SMART systems and in the gorgeous brochure in the link below Irans wholehearted embrace of Big Brother Tehran Smart City (including adoption of electronic cards for transportation) along with UN Sustainability programs is described and illustrated with photographs. en.tehran.ir/Portals/0/Document/Tehran%20towards%20Prosperity%20and%20Equity.pdf

In 2009, Pastor Anderson gained notoriety when he expressed to his congregation his disdain for President Obama. He argued that his hatred stemmed not from Obamas failed policies, but from him as a human being. Im going to tell you something: I hate Barack Obama, Anderson exclaimed in the footage that has since gone viral. You say, well, you just mean you dont like what he stands for. No, I hate the person. Oh, you mean you just dont like his policies. No, I hate him. Youre going to tell me that Im supposed to pray for the socialist devil murderer infanticide who wants to see young children and he wants to see babies killed through abortion, youre gonna tell me Im supposed to pray for God to give him a good lunch tomorrow, he continued. Nope, Im not gonna pray for his good. Im going to pray that he dies and goes to Hell. What do you think of Andersons comments? Did he take things way too far? 
3	Michigan Attorney General Expected to File Charges Over Flint Water CrisisBy Joshua Krause As many as 4 people are facing felony and misdemeanor charges due to evidence found during an ongoing investigation. The most damning evidence found that one city official signed a document saying that the homes which were tested for lead levels all had lead pipes, when that wasnt true at all. Essentially the city reported artificially low lead counts in accordance with the federal Lead and Copper Rule, because they avoided homes that had lead pipes. Officials with the Department of Environmental Quality are facing separate charges. It seems that the Attorney General is conducting this investigation in much the same way that a criminal organization would be tackled. The number of people who will be charged hasnt been officially stated, because authorities are hoping their suspects will cooperate and implicate people who gave them instructions to break the rules. Even more charges could be filed if links are found between Flints management of the water supply, and an outbreak of Legionnaires disease which killed 12 people. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author.

1	The lavish, 250-guest wedding of James and Mindy Gallagher, held Sunday at the New Rochelle Country Club, was enjoyed by no one but the bride. The bride poses with some of the sufferers. 'Today is such a beautiful day,' said attendee Chris Barker, a second cousin of the groom, as he watched the newlyweds dance. 'I can't believe I'm stuck spending it at this stupid thing when I could be out playing golf.' Barker, who drove four hours from Philadelphia to attend the event, was then dragged off for a table photo with the 14 complete strangers with whom he was seated. 'I'm pretty sure I've set my all-time single-day record for awkward conversations,' continued Barker, forcing a smile as a photographer snapped the table picture. 'Not that I could hear anything anybody said to me, what with that godawful wedding band blaring 'Old Time Rock 'N' Roll' and 'Love Shack' the whole time.' Like 249 of the 250 in attendance, members of the bridal party expressed a lack of enthusiasm for the $200,000 affair. 'To be honest, I never really liked Mindy all that much,' said bridesmaid Ellen Lessing, 24, a college sorority sister of the bride. 'I always thought she was kind of a stuck-up bitch. But when she asked me to be in her bridal partyI guess because I'd been her sorority sponsor back in collegeI felt obligated to go. We've had almost no contact since graduation, yet I still flew halfway across the country just to be in the wedding of someone I hardly even know.' Compounding Lessing's misery was the 'vomit-worthy' purple and teal dress that she and the other bridesmaids were forced to purchase and wear. 'This abomination cost me $675,' said Lessing, who has no plans ever to wear the dress again. 'I'd be pissed even if it didn't make me look like a walrus.' Other friends had their own reasons for not having a good time. These ranged from jealousy over not being included in the wedding party to unspoken resentment over all the attention heaped on Mindy, to the sad realization that Mindy would drift apart from her single friends now that she is married. 'Well, Mindy had a wonderful time, so I guess it was worth it, because this is her special day,' said Dr. Carl Lingren, 54, father of the bride. 'As for me, I'm still not sure why I blew almost $2,400 on place settings, but Mindy assured me that spending the extra money to have the seating cards foil-embossed would make the day 'truly special.' You'd think flying her three cousins and great aunt in from Sweden would've been enough to make it truly special, but apparently not.' Dr. Lingren then retired to the bar, where he proceeded to drink heavily. Not even groom James Gallagher enjoyed the reception. 'This is the best day of my life,' said Gallagher, reading from an index card in a robotic monotone. 'All my life has led up to this magical moment, the day I am bound in eternal matrimony to my sweet Mindy forevermore.' Sources close to the groom say the commitment-phobic Gallagher had been dreading the event since Mindy first brought up the idea of marriage more than a year and a half ago, confiding to close confidants that he was 'just doing it to finally shut her up.' Personal-relations expert and noted therapist Dr. Eli Wasserbaum said Gallagher's attitude is far from unusual. 'For men, trepidation about marriage is common,' Wasserbaum said. 'And a total lack of interest in the details of a wedding reception is more common still, even among those who marry willingly. As for the small handful of grooms who actually enjoy their wedding receptions, I'd say most of them are latently gay.' According to Ira Giraldi, editor of Wedding Style magazine, the dread felt by the average wedding guest is understandable. 'Most people don't enjoy weddingswhy would they?' Giraldi said. 'They have to sit around for long periods making uncomfortable small talk with people they barely know and will probably never see again. They're expected to help offset the great expense of the wedding by purchasing obligatory gifts arbitrarily chosen off some wedding registrygifts that reflect nothing about the giver. Plus, it generally eats up an entire day, if not a whole weekend, in cases where air travel is involved.' Continued Giraldi: 'Worst of all, nobody is ever allowed to openly express these universally held feelings. The rules of social conduct obligate guests to endure the entire experience with a surface patina of strained gaiety, a mask of merrymaking and good cheer that becomes progressively more difficult to maintain as the event drags on.' Despite the boredom of those around her, Mindy had 'the most wonderful day ever,' bursting into spontaneous tears of joy at several points during the awful-for-everybody-but-her experience. 'I could dance all night,' Mindy said. 'I wish Jimmy liked to dance more. But I don't care if I'm out on the floor all by myself. This is my day!' The mother of the bride, traditionally the only other person capable of having a good time at a wedding, was not in attendance, as she died three years ago in a gruesome motorboat accident. 
1	According to event attendees, after numerous failed attempts to steer the subject away from his occupation, an American governor in town for a fundraiser Thursday at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts finally acknowledged he was the elected leader of one of the 50 states, but refused to say which. 'It's out west,' said the governor, who sources confirmed usually just mumbles something about working in public service when meeting new people. 'You've probably never heard of it. Whatever, it's not important.' After eventually admitting it was not Wyoming, the governor hastily excused himself and went back to his hotel room, where he reportedly became so flustered he completely forgot to grant clemency to that inmate scheduled for execution.

3	Economic Disinformation Keeps Financial Markets UpBy Paul Craig Roberts Specialty trade contractors are credited with 41,000 jobs equally split between residential and nonresidential. I believe these are home and building repairs and remodeling. The rest of the jobs, 182,000, are in domestic services. Despite store closings and weak retail sales, 12,000 people were hired in retail trade. Despite negative first quarter GDP growth, 62,000 people were hired in professional and business services, 67% of which are in administrative and waste services. Health care and social assistance accounted for 55,600 jobs of which ambulatory health care services, hospitals, and social assistance accounted for 85% of the jobs. Waitresses and bartenders account for 26,000 jobs, and government employed 10,000 new workers. There are no jobs in manufacturing. Mining, timber, oil and gas extraction lost jobs. Temporary help services (16,100 jobs) offered 3.7 times more jobs than law, accounting architecture, and engineering combined (4,500 jobs). As I have pointed out for a number of years, according to the payroll jobs reports, the complexion of the US labor force is that of a Third World country. Most of the jobs created are lowly paid domestic services. The well paying high productivity, high value-added jobs have been offshored and given to foreigners who work for less. This fact, more than the reduction in marginal income tax rates, is the reason for the rising inequality in the distribution of income and wealth. Offshoring middle class jobs raises corporate profits and, thereby, the incomes of corporate owners (shareholders) and executives. But it reduces the incomes of the majority of the population who are forced into either lowly paid and part time jobs or unemployment. The extraordinary decline in the labor force participation rate indicates shrinking opportunities for the American labor force. No economist should ever have accepted the claim that the economy was in recovery while participation in the labor force was declining. The officially documented decline in the labor force participation rate casts additional doubt on the claimed increases in payroll jobs. If jobs are growing, the labor force participation rate should not be declining. Having looked at the actual details of the payroll jobs report, which are seldom if ever reported in the financial media, lets look at what else goes unreported in the media. The governments economic statistical agencies are under pressure not to roil the financial markets. Consequently, initial reports, which are always the headline reports, are as close as possible to the consensus forecast prepared by economists in the financial sector, whose jobs are to maintain a good atmosphere for financial instruments. This practice results in optimistic advanced estimates and first estimates. The real reporting comes later in revisions. For example, today the headline was 223,000 new jobs, recovery on track, stock market up. What was not reported by the media is that the prior months (March) payroll jobs growth was cut to 85,000 jobs, substantially below population growth. The same thing happens with the reporting of GDP growth. The first quarter GDP advanced estimate was kept in positive territory with a 0.2%two-tenths of one percentgrowth. When the revisions arrive, which we already know will be negative GDP growth due to the trade figure, they will not receive the same attention. There are many additional problems with the economic reporting. I have written about a number of them in past reports. Here I will provide one more example. According to the payroll jobs report oil and gas extraction lost 3,300 jobs in April. This low number is inconsistent with what we know about layoffs from fracking operations. According to Challenger Gray, a private firm that tracks job cuts announced by corporations, in April 20,675 jobs were lost as a result of falling oil prices. That is more than six times the loss reported by the payroll jobs report. Challenger Gray reports that during the first four months of this year, corporations have announced 201,796 job cuts. Obviously, corporations are not creating new jobs. That is why the BLS looks to waitresses, bartenders, remodeling contractors, government, and social services for employment growth. Jobs offshoring has shriveled the employment opportunities for Americans. These shriveled opportunities are largely responsible for stagnation and decline in real median family incomes, for the falling labor force participation rate, for the rising inequality in the income and wealth distribution, and for student loans that cannot be repaid from the lowly paid jobs available. Corporations and Wall Street in pursuit of short-term profits have given the economy away. Much of the former US economy now belongs to China and India. Corporate executives and shareholders got rich off of this give-away. This article first appeared at Paul Craig Roberts website Institute For Political Economy.

1	In a long-awaited follow-up to the 24-hour hold on womens checks, Gov. Tommy Thompson signed a bill yesterday requiring a 24-hour waiting period for women vo-ters. According to the bill, women will come to their polling location and receive counseling and ad-vice concerning their political selections, and will be shown pictures of both candidates to help them decide for whom they want to vote. Thompson stressed that not only do women have a right to know, but also that by having to make two trips to the polls, they will be less likely to make the foolish mistakes their sex is often prone to make. The Wisconsin Chapter of the National Orga-nization for Women pro-tested the bill with a rally outside the Capitol, claim-ing that the new measure prevents wo-men from voting, as they would be returning to the polls the day after the election. Thompson was unavailable for comment, but John Haines, his press secretary, dismissed the allegations as an emotional over-reaction typical of women. He added that the ad-ministration is looking in-to a 24-hour waiting period for ral-lies by wo-mens groups to make sure they understand all the facts before protesting. Per-haps, once again, pictures could be used to assist the women in their decision-making pro-cess, Haines said. 
3	DHS Prepares for Civil Unrest as Destruction of 2nd Amendment LoomsSusanne Posel, Contributor Napolitano stated: With respect to Science and Technology, that directorate, we do have a funded project, I think its in California, looking at drones that could be utilized to give us situational awareness in a large public safety [matter] or disaster, such as a forest fire, and how they could give us better information. Secretly, DHS have been taking bids from contractors who can install aerial remote sensing, which uses light detection and ranging (LIDAR) that would be part of the drone missions within domestic US territory. DHS believes these airborne images are essential for homeland defense missions, such as planning for National Special Security Events (Super Bowls or a national political conventions come to mind); enhancing border, port and airport security; as well as performing critical infrastructure inventories and assessments and has spent over $50 millionto employ contractors, as well as processors for images and dissemination throughout the DHS. Coincidentally, the Federal Protective Service (FPS) has been given the responsibility to protecting federally owned property while preparing for civilian-led riots expected in the near future. The items requested were: The FPS is anticipating that police or military wearing the gear would encounter blunt force trauma to the upper torso, as well as potential beatings with blunt objects. To compliment these outfits, are required riot helmets with tactical face shield equipped with liquid seals. In addition, the US military are ready to assistwith local law enforcement if called upon. Five hundred military police and dogs will be allocated on civilian matters, and have included the reallocation of hundreds of military police officers being trained to assist local authorities in investigation, crime scene and case building,as reported by mainstream media (MSM). These same soliders were previously stationed in combat areas like Afghantistan. Meanwhile, the TSA have been patrolling trains stations and bus terminals in California. According to one whistleblower: Were doing patrols in the parking lot with dogs, were even going as far out to the train station because the train station is connected to the airport here and we have guys walking around the train station, walking around the rental cars, were inspecting cars coming into the parking garage, I mean weve fully expanded were no longer just at the gate and just at the security checkpoint. The preparations that DHS and FPS are making for civil unrest may be tied to Article 15 of the UN Arms Trade Treaty(ATT). This part allows foreign troops (preferably NATO forces) to offer assistance in implementing the ATT. As the ATT does not specify an adherence to the 2nd Amendment, but rather makesvague definitionsof who can own a gun, what type of gun and for what purpose, the Constitutional rights we take for granted now will be stripped from us once the ATT is signed. (It is being reported today that no agreement was reached, and the ATT has been postponed for now Ed.) To downplay the severity of our American right to bear arms against tyrannical dictators foreign and domestic, President Obama stated at a National Urban League meeting that: We recognize the traditions of gun ownership that passed on from generation to generation, that hunting and shooting are part of a cherished national heritage. I also believe that a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals. That they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities. Richard Schrade, attorney and member of the Libertarian National Committee commented on the 2nd Amendment: The Second Amendment was to protect the ability of the people to violently overthrow the government. Lets remember that this country was formed in a violent revolution. Lets remember that at Lexington and Concord citizens fired on and killed government soldiers sent by the central government to confiscate their weapons and arms. When viewed in this light, it is apparent that a limitation on automatic weapons would be an infringement on the purposes of the Second Amendment. Wayne LaPierre, vice president of the NRA, has called outObama as being part of a conspiracy to ensure re-election by lulling gun owners to sleep. All that first term, lip service to gun owners is just part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment during his second term. LaPierre states that upon re-election, Obama will be busy dismantling and destroying our firearms freedom, erase the 2nd Amendment from the Bill of Rights and excise it from the US Constitution.

3	Research: Curcumin Is A Triple Negative Breast Cancer KillerSayer Ji, Contributor Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), so named because the cells do not have the characteristic receptors for estrogen, progesterone and Her2/neu, is considered the most treatment resistant, primarily because these missing receptors are required for many of the most popular conventional treatments to work, e.g. Tamoxifen targets estrogen receptors. For this reason, TNBC is considered the most aggressive, the most likely to be treated with less-targeted (and therefore more toxic) forms of chemotherapy, and the soonest to return when treatment fails. Approximately 15-25% of all breast cancer cases are triple negative. Unfortunately, however, the most visible non-profit foundation dedicated to bringing awareness to the condition, the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation, is focused almost exclusively on raising awareness and money for a future pharmaceutical cure much in the same way as its partner, Susan G. Komen, and the larger breast cancer awareness organization, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, act as if removing and addressing the obvious causes of cancer, e.g. carcinogenic chemical and radiation exposures, were not the first priority. For those suffering through or recovering from treatment right now, or trying to decide what to do with a new diagnosis, this latest Chinese study is promising. This view, however, is rather naive, insofar the criteria for determining a substances potential for future use as an FDA drug is not its effectiveness, safety or availability to those in need, rather, how proprietary and profitable the formula is to manufacture, distribute and market to consumers. The gold standard of evidence-based medicine therefore becomes literally: those who own the gold make the standard. This is not the first study to reveal curcumins potential value in treating breast cancer. A growing body of experimental evidence clearly shows that curcumin provides a potential drug alternative. GreenMedInfo.com has indexed over 60 in vitro and animal studies demonstrating either curcumins direct anti-breast cancer activity, or, its ability to enhance breast cancers sensitivity to conventional chemotherapy. Also, the open access project has indexed over 1500 abstracts from the National Library of Medicine on its potential value in over 500 health conditions: Turmeric Breast Cancer.

Reportedly, the 50-year-old man entered a Subway in New Jersey with a service animal, which he keeps by his side at all time because he suffers from PTSD from his time serving the country. The animal is trained to sense the mans emotions and anxiety and calm him down before a situation escalates. By law, service animals must be allowed inside businesses. Unfortunately for the man, the restaurant workers that day made the decision not to allow the man in the restaurant. Sources believe that the employees were not informed of the policy.

3	Israel Threatens More Attacks on SyriaStephen Lendman Clashes erupted across the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Israel confronts peaceful demonstrations violently. Fundamental human rights are spurned. Rogue governments operate that way. Preemptively attacking other countries is official Israeli policy. On May 4 and 5, Israeli warplanes targeted Syria. Doing so was preemptive, unprovoked, lawless aggression. On May 15, The New York Times headlined Israel Hints at New Strikes, Warning Syria Not to Retaliate. An unidentified Israeli official suggested further military strikes ahead. Allegedly its to stop advanced weapons transfers to Islamic militants. Assad was warned. Retaliate and face crippling consequences. The Israeli official said: Israel is determined to continue to prevent the transfer of advanced weapons to Hezbollah. The transfer of such weapons will destabilize and endanger the entire region. If Syrian President Assad reacts by attacking Israel, or tries to strike Israel through his terrorist proxies, he will risk forfeiting his regime, for Israel will retaliate. Israel has so far refrained from intervening in Syrias civil war and will maintain this policy as long as Assad refrains from attacking Israel directly or indirectly. Alleged weapons transfers are a ruse. Israels May 4 and 5 attacks were a joint US/Israeli operation. They were lawless. They were provocative. They were launched to goad Syria to respond. Doing so would facilitate greater intervention. Assad wasnt fooled. Hes fully engaged internally. Hes not about to give Washington, Israel, Turkey or other belligerent states reason to attack. The Times said the precise motives for Israels warning were uncertain. Perhaps its preparing another strike. If so, why would warning Syria precede it? After Israels May 4 and 5 attacks, Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad said (w)e will respond immediately and harshly to any additional attack by Israel. He justifiably called Israels aggression a declaration of war. Israels very much part of Obamas war on Syria. Whether it plans more provocations remains to be seen. Both countries operate jointly. America wants Assad ousted. Its longstanding US policy. Turkeys a co-conspirator. Prime Minister Erdogan arrived in Washington. Hell press for Obama to act more aggressively against Syria. Before leaving Ankara, he said Syria will be our main topic. We will draw a road map. He claims hes bringing evidence of Syrian chemical weapons use. Whatever he has doesnt wash. No evidence suggests Syrian use. Insurgents used toxic weapons several times. Expect Erdogan and Obama to claim otherwise. Doing so provides greater pretext to intervene. Erdogan met earlier with John Kerry. He and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel will discuss Syria. Theyll do so at the Pentagon. Perhaps war plans will be finalized. Obamas incrementally tiptoeing toward full-scale intervention. How and when remains to be seen. Critics say hes not moving fast enough. Washington Post editors want war. Editorials advocate it. Previous articles discussed them. On May 8, they headlinedWhat if the US doesnt intervene in Syria, saying: Whatever the risks of intervening, inaction risks more, they claim. Post editors want more arms for insurgents. They urge an air campaign. (T)he situation in Syria has grown more dangerous to US interests. Its increasingly clear that the greatest risk to the United States lies in failing to take decisive action to end the Assad regime. In late February, they called John Kerrys first trip as Secretary of state Washingtons last chance to help Syria. If the Obama administration is to lead on Syria, it must commit itself to steps that can bring about the early collapse of the regime and its replacement by a representative and responsible alternative. Only direct political and military intervention on the side of the opposition can make that happen. On May 14, WaPo editors headlined Obama administration hopes Putin will deliver Assad, saying: Instead of urging direct military intervention, Kerry seems to have reversed his strategy. Rather than taking steps to turn the tide against (Assad, hes) rushing to convene a peace conference. Not a shred of public evidence suggests that Mr. Assad is willing to negotiate his own departure. It appears as if the administration again is hoping that the Russian government of Vladimir Putin will deliver Mr. Assad. The administration made that same wishful bet last year, only to be stiffed by Mr. Putin. The anti-American campaign Mr. Putin has been waging continues apace, as shown by the Cold War-style propaganda operation staged in Moscow Tuesday following the arrest of an alleged American spy. Kerrys initiative, like those before it, is more likely to provide excuses for US passivity than an end to Syrias carnage. WaPo editors want war. So does contributor David Ignatius. He has close ties to US intelligence. He openly favors arming anti-Assad death squads. He wants Assad ousted. So do Charles Krauthammer, Jackson Diehl and other WaPo contributors. Theyre not alone. US media scoundrels urged it since 2011. Only their policy recommendations differ. Theyre indifferent to human suffering. They point fingers the wrong way. They blame Assad for Washingtons war. They support Americas imperial ambitions. Theyre comfortable with whatever it takes to achieve them. They promote Washingtons war on terrorism. Theyre mindless about policy priorities to ravage the world one country at a time or in multiples. They ignore US crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. Theyve said nothing about torture as official US policy. Theyre silent about escalating domestic tyranny. They claim Americas economy is improving at a time of deepening main street Depression. Half or more of US households are impoverished or bordering on it. Millions are one pay check or medical emergency away from homelessness and/or bankruptcy. The state of todays America is lawless, ruthless, oppressive, and contemptuous of fundamental democratic values. War on the world is policy. Innocent victims fill Americas gulag. Human need increasingly goes begging. War and corporate priorities take precedence. Washingtons alliance with Israel threatens humanity. Both countries reflect unspeakable evil. Wealth, power, privilege and unchallenged dominance alone matter. Murder, Inc. is official policy. Lies, damn lies, and media scoundrel misinformation facilitate it. Fiction substitutes for fact. Victims are called villains. War criminals are hailed as liberators. America, key NATO partners and Israel get away with murder. They do so by claiming wars are fought for peace. Humanitarian interventions about spreading democracy. Nations are systematically destroyed to free them. Monied interests benefit most. Media scoundrels aid and abet imperial crimes. Truth is the most dangerous disinfectant. Suppressing it keeps millions uninformed. Syria was largely peaceful before US proxies invaded. So was Libya in 2011. Irans moment of truth awaits. Longstanding plans prioritize regime change. Its official US policy. Its next in line after Washington finishes destroying Syria. Its well along toward doing it. A Final Comment On May 15, the UN General Assembly adopted an anti-Assad resolution. Its non-binding. It was Arab League-led. Washington co-sponsored it. It followed four others since 2011. Grave concerns were expressed. Voting 107 for, 12 against, with 59 abstentions, the body strongly condemned Assad. It accused him of widespread and systematic gross violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms. It called the pro-Western National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (Syrian National Council) an effective representative interlocutor for a political transition. Ahead of the vote, General Assembly president/Serbian foreign affairs minister Vuk Jeremic said: Over the past 800 days, the conflict has continued to escalate, threatening the establishment of ethnic or sectarian fiefdoms thus gravely imperiling the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria. Violence is begetting more violence; hatred, more hatred carving deeper and deeper wounds into Syrias society. If we are unable to do anything to stop this tragedy, then how can we sustain the moral credibility of this Organization? It is high time to say enough is enough; enough to complacency and enough to fratricide. He blamed Syria for Washingtons war. Syrias permanent UN representative, Bashar al-Jaafari, said passage inflames conditions. Ahead of the vote, he said: It is surprising that the draft resolution was presented within the item titled prevention of the outbreak of armed conflicts while the context of the draft totally contradicts this noble address as it has sought to escalate the crisis and instigate violence in Syria through creating a dangerous precedent in the international relations, which try to give legitimacy to offering weapons to the armed terrorist groups in Syria. Russias deputy permanent UN representative, Alexander Pankin, called the measure irresponsible, unconstructive, and it aggravates the situation in Syria, in addition to hindering the international efforts to implement the Geneva Communique. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi said: The resolution has been issued at a time when Syria and the region need peace and stability more than ever. Passage wont resolve things. Doing so makes anti-Assad terrorist crimes more likely. Washington, key NATO partners, Israel, and rogue regional allies aid and abet them. Replacing Assad with pro-Western puppet leadership remains policy. Syrias being ravaged and destroyed to achieve it. Expect stepped up efforts ahead to hasten it.

3	Questions for Operation Gladio, German Intelligence Amidst Paris CarnageBy Rusticus But as the people of Franceare swept with asense of profound and unifying nationalism, those watching from across the Atlantic recognize all too well the potential cost of such fervent patriotism; it was little over a decade ago that the bellicose sounds of Proud to Be an American echoed across the nation in the wake of false-flag tragedy, striking an eerie contrast to the chorus ofLa Marseillaiseringing through the streets of Paris last night. A similar narrative, too, surrounds the recent carnage in Paris, as a group of yet-to-be-identified (EDIT: ISIS has taken credit while writing) Freedom-hating Muslims have (if the Mainstream Media is to be believed) attacked Paris out of sheer disdain for her values of libert, galit, and fraternit. The record of history informs us that the response of the American public to the events of 9/11 was to sacrifice the virtues of liberty uponthe altar of such fraternal attributes as safety and security. As President Francois Hollande has all but declared Martial Law in the nation and sealed her borders in response to this horrific string of terror, I realize now may not be the most convenient time to weigh the value of human autonomy in the face of danger and insecurity but, as an American living in the post-9/11 Security State, how I wish my countryhadntso hastily cast aside these values in the face of crisis! How I wish critical thinking would have been present between stimulus and response within the populous in the days, months, and years following the attack. How I wishfor a genuine Fourth Estate to have been present, equipped to inform the public of such infamous discrepancies as World Trade Center 7 and unprecedented insider trading that occurred amidst the chaos of the day. For America to rewrite her creation of the Global War on Terror paradigm is nothing more than wishful thinking but for Francs, whose country stands on the precipice of a defining moment in history, this possibility still exists. NATOneednt be dragged intoa war which will be pitiless without first exercising a mature and skeptical examination of the events surrounding the tragedy in Paris. Less than 24 hours after these horrific events, its certainly too early to draw any substantive conclusions as to what truly occurred in Paris last night, aside from tragic loss of human life; it is, however, the opportune time to posequestions. And the events leading up to and surrounding the havoc in Paris assuredly warrant our curiosity. In watching live British, Russian, and American coverage surrounding the Paris event, one line of questioning being posed by mainstream media continuously has been that of material support to the attackers. What kind of organized and equipped network could arm these terrorists? Where did Jihadists from Syria get grenades, AK-pattern rifles and explosives in a country who strictly regulates such weapons? As police and military scour the streets of Paris looking for Islamofascist bomb-makers, these are important questions and at least one news source purports to provide insight as to how these terrorists were armed. According to SOFREP, a team of self-described analysts with military and Special Ops experience, the bombsused in Paris werent limited to haphazardly wired suicide vests, but were in fact military-grade explosives from a French armory heist earlier this year: SOFREP sources reported to us weeks ago that the French National Police weremeeting with the German BKA federal police and BND federal intelligence service to discuss an imminentpre-planned terrorist attack in Paris. Industrial targets were already being probed by suspected terrorists in France, and a bomb which failed to detonate was found in one facility. The explosives employed were those stolen in a little-publicized theft from a French military armory months prior. The French and German federal police and intelligence services strongly believed at that time that terrorists were casing soft targets inside Paris and that it was, A matter of when, not if. Jack Murphy, via SOFREP The above information, if accurate, raises a number of uncomfortable queries. If anything, it exemplifies overt foreknowledge by French and German authorities of an imminent attack on French soil unreported up to now. Seemingly swept under the rug, too, was the attempted bombing of an industrial target which preceded last nights bloodshed, which Ive been unable to find further information on. Hollandes aspirations for a unified France could be thrown into disarray wereit to be revealed that the bombs and grenades used to murder countless Francsmay have come from a French military installation an assertion from SOFREP that is verifiable, as The Guardian reported the theft of military equipment from a high-security French armory in July of this year: Again, if these unnamed French and German police and intelligence officers are to be believed, this verified theft of grenades and plastic explosives are intimately connected to not only the attacks in Paris last night, but a previously under/unreported (failed) plot against an unidentified French industrial target. How would rogue Islamofascists sneak their way onto a highly secure French army base amidst unprecedented security in the wake of Charlie Hebdo earlier this year? The Guardian article claims they simply cut a hole in the fence and slipped away in the night unnoticed possible, but certainly a point worth pressing. Equally as curious is SOFREPs commentary on the German BKA and BND, who appear indivorcible from French National Police in the weeks leading up to these tragic events.The pedestrianinterpretation of this relationship, that German intelligence had acquired actionable intel and worked with the French to mitigate a horrible scenario, is a conclusion that would satisfy most. Id like it to be true. But the documented history of murky German intelligence officials turning upin high-profile false flag events of the past 20 years forceme take pause. As researchers of the Oklahoma City bombing know, Timothy McVeighs time in the white nationalist compound straddling the Arkansas border known as Elohim City is of particular Deep Political interest, if only due to the man who served as its Chief of Security: Andreas Strassmeir, son of former German chancellor Helmut Kohls Chief of Staff and a former lieutenant in the German army with military intelligence training.Despite theFBI and ATF having significant evidence connecting Strassmeir and his Elohim City cult to the planning and preparation of OKC, no charges were ever filed. They rarely are on intelligence assets. Just ask Strassmeir or better yet, Wolfgang Bohringer, the high-rolling German national who owned a flight school in none other than Venice, Florida ahead of 9/11. A close friend (some would argue handler) of Muhammad Atta, Bohringers affiliations were revealed by veteran sleuth Daniel Hopsicker based on the accounts of the now-infamous pink-haired stripper, Amanda Keller. What Hopsickeruncovered was at least credible enough to warrant the attention of the FBI, who, upon arresting Bohringer, reported him saying: You cant arrest me. Im with the CIA. He remains, of course, a free man to this day. Im not trying to imply that the presence of German intelligence alone in advance of the Paris attacks is in itself indicative of foul play; but given the historical precedence for German intelligence involvement in false-flag operations considered in tandem with unsettlingallegations of foreknowledge and stolen military explosives, the shadowy underbelly of NATO intelligence agenciescannot be overlookedby independent investigators going forward. When ones mind turns towards bombings and terrorism in Western Europe, the word Gladio issure to be on the lips of astute readers. Ravaging the region with a string of false flag bombings throughout the Cold War, the terrorist NATO operatives of Gladio A have long since given way to their 21st Century counterparts: The Islamofascists of Gladio B who, according to FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, encompass terrorist groups as varied as Al-Qaeda, Chechen nationalists, and of course, ISIS, the group claiming responsibility for the Paris attacks. While its still too early to trace the specificconnections of the Gladio B network to recent events in France, the use of theStrategy of Tension alone on the streets of Paris is disconcerting, to say the least. You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the State to ask for greater security. Vincenzo Viciguerra on the Strategy of Tension With unified calls for greatly increased security measures from American and French law enforcement alike, the State has been making its case for greater authority from the moment the dust settled in Paris specifically citing concerns of theirinability to track undesirables who could serve a security threat. It shudders to make me think that the bloodshed in Paris may have beeninstigated, in part, to pass the draconian global biometric ID program to be voted on at COP21 in the very city now stricken with grief; if nothing else, it will make for a convenient justification for the synthesis of greater security as called for by theStrategy of Tension. Keep your eyes on Boiling Frogs Post and the open source investigation of James Corbett for more developments on potential Gladio and NATO intelligence involvement in Paris. Out of words and energy, I leave you as Ive left myself, Reader: Full of questions. To the people of France, I leave my sincerest condolences, but more importantly, the powerful words of Congresswoman Barbara Lee spoken on 09/14/01, in hopes that they might be valued today more than they were back then: Blogging under the pseudonym of Rusticus, the author and freedom activist operates a website tracing the machinations of the Anglo-American Establishment throughout history while simultaneously documenting the process of creating a truly off-grid homestead. http://www.statelesshomesteading.com/ So the Paris attack has all the hallmarks of another inside job. This is my shocked face. Yup, heres an itch one can just not affort not to scratch focus on micro management instead of on big picture. I find it quite comical that you (correctly) invoke the virtues of proper Grammar before exercising Logic and Rhetoric, yet offer justification for your rather abrasive correction in the form of a logical fallacy (argumentum ad absurdum). Appreciate the grammatical correction, as definitions are the foundation of critical thinking; so, too, is ones ability to rationally identify fallacious argumentation, lest sophism sagaciously seep into alternative dialogue. You seem to be arguing that the misuse of a Greek word (populus), which has only found itself etymologically split in the manner you describe within the past 500 years, puts one on a (fallacious) Slippery Slope towards solipsism. I would argue that the misuse of a relatively new suffix pales in comparison to the use of mental trickery in the form of logical fallacies, but hey, thats just me. Since you seem so keen on nit-picking definitions, though, perhaps you could put half as much effort into fleshing out the Grammar of Gladio B vis-a-vis French intelligence? Or the same for German intelligence, who find themselves curiously connected to the munitions cache heists/purchases used in Paris? Yknow, things of potential significance? That is what the Trivium Method is actually for, isnt it? Or perhaps your talents would be better suited as my copy editor, a highly lucrative position for which Ill pay you exactly as much as I make pouring hours of compilation and research into these articles, which is of course nothing. At least then I wouldnt have to worry about my occasional misuse of homophones and could rest assured that any future hypotheses I posit wont be subject to red herrings about dictionary definitions. Attention would instead rest where it should: Upon the redefining of key/occulted terminology amidst an actual and malicious torrent of disinformation. TL;DR Youre barking up the wrong tree, dude. Youre quite welcome. 
2	You Wont Believe The Demands A School Gave Into To Please A Muslim Mom [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a school district in Maryland has just implemented a very unusual school calendar for the 2015-2016 school year. After a Muslim mother and advocate issued a complaint to the district that the calendar counted for Yom Kippur, but not Eid al-Adha, which fell on the same day this year. Now, the school has decided to remove all religious references from their calendar. While Superintendent Joshua Starr advocated to remove Jewish holidays as well, board member Rebecca Smondrowski suggested religious references be removed entirely. I made the motion because if we are closing for operational reasons, then there should be no need to make reference to religion, Smondrowski told reporters. That is the most equitable solution that I could see while recognizing that we need to be seriously addressing the criteria for how these things are decided in the future. What do you think, should the school district be forced to accommodate all religious holidays? 
2	BREAKING: Supreme Court Makes Precedent Setting Decision On Shariah Law In 2008, 17-year-old Samantha Elauf was denied employment at Abercrombie Fitch after showing up to her interview in hijab. After facing criticism about the incident, the clothing company has changed their policies. But the actions theyve taken have not prevented a legal battle. In fact, Elaufs case has made it up to the Supreme Court, and a final decision is set to take place in early 2015. Elauf filed a religious discrimination lawsuit against the chain with the help of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Still, we think that Abercrombie Fitch have a strong case. Why shouldnt Elauf be required to abide by their dress code, just as all of their other employees do? According to reports, Elauf was originally hired but was later let go when she broke their policy. What do you think? Should the Supreme Court rule in favor of Abercrombie Fitch? 
1	LA PAZ, BOLIVIAThe South American nation of Bolivia was inducted into the Development Organization of Powder-Exporting Countries Monday. 'As the world's third-largest producer of coca, we are pleased to join Colombia, Peru, Mexico, and other proud nations in economic partnership,' said Sonia Atala, Bolivia's minister of opiates. 'Only by working together can we assure ourselves of continued expansion into foreign markets.' The move was opposed by the U.S., DOPEC's largest customer, on the grounds that further price increases and supply restriction would create long lines at dealerships. 
3	Police Militarization: The New Search and SeizureTed Baumann These soldaten soon found ways to deploy their skills at home. Supported by Minister of Defense Gustav Noske, right-wingers including one Corporal Adolf Hitler organized ex-soldiers into Freikorps, and armed them with surplus military weaponry. These militia brutally crushed Germanys nascent post-war democratic movement. For the next 20 years, they provided the core of the feared Brownshirts, street thugs who helped Hitler and the Nazis into power. Fast forward 100 years. Another faltering empire in domestic political crisis, the United States, brings its own frustrated warriors and their weapons back home Brownshirts in America far-fetched? Not at all. Theyre already here, this time dressed in black or camo. Ive already told you about the militarization of our borderlands, using tactics drawn directly from the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq. I warned then that events there would soon affect you and me. I was right. A few weeks ago, a police paramilitary unit raided a house not too far from my home in Atlanta, in search of a teenager suspected of dealing drugs. Upon breaking down the door, they lobbed a flash bang grenade into the crib of a two-year-old child, Bounkham Bou Bou Phonesavanh, blowing a hole in the infants chest. The teenager they were searching for a relative in the family did not even live in that house. These boys have some really nasty toys. Since the late 1980s, the Department of Defenses Program 1033 has transferred tons of military-grade weaponry, including machine guns, tanks and aircraft, to state and local police departments, free of charge. As our Middle Eastern wars degenerated into counterinsurgencies, these weapons have become more and more oriented to the sort of urban combat that SWAT teams seem to think is their mission. None of this would have happened, however, if Americas police hadnt embraced the opportunity to go military with such gusto. Indeed, Americas police culture long ago abandoned any pretense at a Mayberry-style Officer Friendly approach. With few exceptions, police now see themselves as an occupying army, confronting a population where every individual is a potential hostile. Police routinely refer to their daily beats as tours, and to interaction with potential criminals as combat. What accounts for this radical change in attitudes? Wheres Sheriff Andy Taylor? The influx of former military personnel into domestic policing jobs definitely plays a role. So too does the glorification of force that goes with being a militaristic empire surrounded by imagined enemies. More important, however, is the profound change in the relationship between citizen and government in America since 9/11. In everything that matters, we citizens are no longer treated as the employers of civil servants like police, to whom they are accountable, but as the object of governments efforts to impose its own independent will. From the National Security Agency to your local sheriffs office, a sense of impunity and utter lack of accountability reigns supreme. Todays police are recruited and trained in a carefully cultivated atmosphere of us vs. them that treats the rest of us as potential threats to be neutralized, not as citizens to be served and protected. But every policeman in the country is theoretically accountable to representatives elected by the citizenry. If Americas police are out of control, its because those elected officials arent doing their jobs. And that means we arent, either. Many citizens of interwar Germanys Weimar Republic craved law and order to such an extent that they were willing to overlook blatant abuses of basic rights and freedoms, as long as they were directed at others. Political opponents were deemed not to be real Germans. As political temperatures rose, the militaristic skills and attitudes developed on the Western and Eastern fronts of 1914-18 were increasingly substituted for democratic debate and process. Many Germans thought this was fine, because the ascendant forces seemed to favor their own interests. Then came Hitler. As the courageous theologian Martin Niemller wrote shortly after his release from a Nazi concentration camp, Americans would do well to meditate on Pastor Niemllers words. Too many of us are guilty of looking the other way as our politicians allow Americas police forces to morph into heavily armed, unaccountable paramilitary thugs. Ultimately, however, it is unlikely that our political process will arrest this trend. Thats why its so important to emulate another group of Germans from the 1930s those who left while there was still time and escape America while you still can.

3	Genetic invasion: distorting the human futureAre you non-material, or just a programmed brain? First, read these two quotes from highly regarded academic scientists, to catch the flavor of the genetic revolution: From Lee Silver, Princeton, molecular biologist and author of Remaking Eden: The GenRichwho account for ten percent of the American population[will] all carry synthetic genes. All aspects of the economy, the media, the entertainment industry, and the knowledge industry are controlled by members of the GenRich class Naturals work as low-paid service providers or as laborers. [Eventually] the GenRich class and the Natural class will become entirely separate species with no ability to crossbreed, and with as much romantic interest in each other as a current human would have for a chimpanzee. Many think that it is inherently unfair for some people to have access to technologies that can provide advantages while others, less well-off, are forced to depend on chance alone, [but] American society adheres to the principle that personal liberty and personal fortune are the primary determinants of what individuals are allowed and able to do. Indeed, in a society that values individual freedom above all else, it is hard to find any legitimate basis for restricting the use of repro[grammed]-genetics. I will argue [that] the use of reprogenetic technologies is inevitable. [W]hether we like it or not, the global marketplace will reign supreme. Even if half the worlds species were lost [during genetic experiments], enormous diversity would still remain. When those in the distant future look back on this period of history, they will likely see it not as the era when the natural environment was impoverished, but as the age when a plethora of new formssome biological, some technological, some a combination of the twoburst onto the scene. We best serve ourselves, as well as future generations, by focusing on the short-term consequences of our actions rather than our vague notions about the needs of the distant future. One scientist says we might lose half of all species getting where we want to go, genetically speaking, and the other says the process will inevitably be guided by wealth and the free market, thus creating two distinct classes of humans, the higher of which has far superior abilities -and theyll run things. Arent you thrilled? If you make it through, you may turn out to be half-biological, half-technological. Plexiglass head, two cameras for eyes, titanium feet. Whatever. But heres a question. Suppose scientists could take a tiny sample of tissue from you and thereby produce a perfect clone, down to the last iota, including, of course, your brain. Would that be you? A surprising number of people think so. Just as they believe, with their brains frozen at death, they could come alive again when the science has advanced far enough. Other people would say, Well, the clone of me is not me, but if we could plant my memories in him, hed be very close. All of this presupposes that the physical material of you is youand there isnt anything else to add. I have news. That perfect clone of you is just going to stand there. Or if he moves, hes going to operate as a machine. Programmed for every twitch. Yes, but if his programming is the same as mine, then who can tell the difference? What difference would there be? A world of difference. You being you, wearing a human form, is a far cry from a machine that looks like you being a machine. Discuss among yourselves. Discuss for a long time, because nothing more than the future of the human race is riding on this. Perhaps youve noticed, in recent years, how the societal fixation on the human body and what it looks like is becoming massive. From issues of race and gender to cosmetics to clothes to performance to medical interventions, its all about the person as if hes already a clone, an android. For the people with such an obsession, do you really think there is any hesitation about playing genetic roulette, other than official assurances of workability? Heres another clue. When they come calling with new genes, and when they insert them, when they use those genes to make your brain better, do you think the you that is you, independent of your physical form, is going to adapt? Well, Ill just learn the new system. Its like moving from a small apartment into a big house. You walk around, you get used to it. Really? Understand that the genetic enthusiasts dont for a second believe there is any you to learn anything. To them, youre just an operating system, and any system will function smoothly, as its directed to. If wholesale genetic intervention takes hold, there are lots of very unpleasant surprises ahead. Consider the psychiatric drugs like Zoloft and Paxil. You know, the drugs that scramble neurotransmitters like eggs in a cheap diner, and cause some people to commit suicide or randomly kill others. Now multiply the uncertainty of that effect by a hundred or a thousand, when wholesale genetic changes are enacted. You were aiming to become the next Mozart? And instead you wound up burning down half the city? Just a glitch in the research. Theyll eventually iron out the problem. Take the long view. Dont worry, be happy. The debate comes down to who controls, yes, the philosophy. Not the science, the philosophy. Is each human merely and only a system, or is he non-material, inhabiting a physical form? We already know what the vast majority of brain researchers and geneticists believe, as well as the governments and corporations and universities and foundations that make important decisions. Of course, these days, the college faculty department considered to be the least important, the most useless, a mere appendage waiting for those with wisdom to put it out of its misery and kill it offis the philosophy department. That leaves us to take up the philosophic argument. Not Lee Silver at Princeton or Gregory Stock or Bill Gates or George Soros or David Rockefeller or the Pope or Stephen Hawking or Obama or the Clintons or Monsanto or Dow or the Bush family or PBS or FOX or some wackadoodle at Harvard or MIT or UCLA.

1	A blue corrugated plastic sign bearing the name of candidate Todd Young has invigorated and galvanized voters in southeastern Indiana's 9th District congressional race, catapulting the Republican to an all but insurmountable lead over his opponent, Democratic incumbent Baron Hill. The 24-by-18-inch signboard, which political pundits have called an 'instant game changer' since its appearance on Jasper, IN's Jackson Street last Friday, features a red, white, and blue color scheme, four stars above Young's name, and the slogan 'Promise of a New Tomorrow.' It also includes the word 'Vote' and a check-mark-filled square next to the candidate's name, a strategy expected to triple turnout at the polls as throngs of voters rush to support Young. 'When I drove by the sign two days ago, I had to pull over to the side of the road and catch my breath,' said Jade Williams, 34, a lifelong Democrat and former supporter of Baron Hill. 'I'd never felt such a profound connection to a candidate before. Then I saw the powerful red line under his name and knew I had to drive to City Hall immediately and register as a Republican.' 'It's the promise of a new tomorrow,' Williams added. While the 9th District seat was considered a toss-up prior to the sign's erection, a tidal wave of support has now emerged for Young, who over the past two days has received key endorsements from Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, and former president Bill Clinton. Experts across the country are calling the small but legible sign a 'brilliant political move,' and have praised Young's campaign for making the sign double-sided so it can be seen by motorists driving in both directions. A new Gallup poll now has Young ahead of Hill by nearly 65 points. 'Frankly, I can't envision any scenario in which Baron Hill can recover from this,' political strategist Mary Matalin said on Meet The Press Sunday, adding that it was an inspired and ingenious decision to include both the first and last name of the candidate on the sign. 'Yes, the bold capital letters capture our imagination, but they also assure voters that Todd Young will meet all political challenges with indomitable vigor and integrity.' Indiana University political science professor Henry Trout echoed Matalin's analysis, telling reporters he believes Young will easily carry all 20 counties in the district. Trout said he bases his landslide prediction on the fact that by Election Day most residents will have either viewed the sign personally or heard from their peers how its array of stars 'makes one understand that Todd Young is a bright, shining beacon of hope, somebody capable of restoring faith in American politics.' 'If that sign could talk,' Trout continued, 'it would say, 'Voting for a candidate other than Todd Young would be an affront to everything that makes this country great.' The dire predictions for Hill appear to be coming true: Local donors and the national Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee have cut off funding to Hill, and reports from his election headquarters reveal a campaign in crisis mode. The few remaining workers who have not defected to the Young camp have been working 20-hour days, desperately scrambling to right their candidate's ship. 'That sign has destroyed us,' said a senior Hill staffer speaking on condition of anonymity. 'We've been brainstorming nonstop for days, and we think the only way to regain any ground would be for Baron to somehow appear in each constituent's living room, if only for 30 seconds, and either state his moral and political beliefs while his wife and children stand at his side or else rip into questionable statements Young has made in the past.' 'But unfortunately, there's no way to achieve this,' the source added. At press time, the identity of the individual who placed the sign in his front yard, and essentially handed the Republican Party another seat in what figures to be a pivotal midterm election, was revealed to be Herb Whittaker, a 53-year-old hardware store employee. 'I wanted to show my support for Todd Young,' Whittaker said. 'So I put a sign on the lawn.' 
2	Ivanka Makes Devastating Announcement... Please Send Your Prayers It has been a difficult month for the Trump family. After audio footage was released of Trump making lewd comments about women, the entire family has been under attack. Many pressured Ivanka Trump to take a stand against her father. She has refused to do so, and now, women throughout the country have decided to boycott her brand. Trump has continued to support her father despite the sexual harassment allegations against him. She stands behind her message that her father works hard to empower women. Apparently, her loyalty to her father is just too much for some liberals to handle. They are boycotting her clothing, jewelry, perfume and accessories. There has also been a push for stores that carry the brand to stop selling it. If Ivanka Trump had distanced herself from the campaign, I would not be boycotting her, Shannon Coulter, who promoted the boycott earlier this month, told reporters. But something changed for me when that tape was released. Coulter has shared her own experience with sexual harassment far and wide. She launched her #GrabYourWallet campaign in mid-October, referencing Trumps infamous grab them by the p***y remark. Spokespeople for Ivankas brand have not reported any actual decrease in sales. We are proud that our business is growing rapidly and that our brand resonates strongly with women who are inspired by our messaging and excited about the polished and chic solution-oriented products that we offer, they claimed. Over the past year, many more women have discovered and become loyal to the brand, leading us to experience a significant year over year revenue growth. What do you think? Do you support Ivanka? 
1	In what is probably being hailed as some sort of groundbreaking discovery, sources confirmed Friday that scientists have most likely identified a new species of frog recently because thats the type of shit they do all the time. Theyre always announcing some fucking shit about a new lizard or toad or something, so I bet they just came across a previously unknown breed of frog in some rainforest in Brazil or wherever, said 29-year-old Pittsburgh resident Jake Morrell, adding that the newfound amphibian is probably some weird color or has ultra-rare markings on it and blah, blah, blah. I bet the frog could contain the cure for a disease, too. Scientists always say stuff like that that when they announce these things. At press time, a majority of Americans reportedly speculated that the frog is highly endangered, because isnt that how this shit always goes? 
2	Sheriffs Fight Back Against Disrespectful Miami Dolphins... This Is JUSTICE According to recent reports, a sheriffs office in Florida has made the controversial decision to stop escorting the Miami Dolphins to their football games until the team resumes standing for the national anthem. The local police union behind the Broward County Sheriffs Office is reportedly refusing to provide police escorts, claiming that sometimes freedom of speech is compromised by your professional duties. I respect their right to have freedom of speech, Jeffrey Bell, president of the International Union of Police Associations told The Miami Herald. However, in certain organizations and certain jobs you give up that right of your freedom of speech temporarily while you serve that job of or while you play in an NFL game. The Dolphins have been making headlines lately for their protest against the national anthem. Four of their players kneeled during a game against the Seattle Seahawks, protesting racial oppression in the country. The move is a symbol of solidarity with San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick, who has been making headlines all month for his controversial protest. The Dolphins released a statement last week, claiming it encourages players to stand, but respects the rights of the individual players who refuse to stand. What do you think? Do you support Broward County for standing up for our national anthem? 
2	Female Israeli Soldier Gets Shot By Hailstorm Of Bullets, Fights Off 23 Terrorists During Ambush In a legacy that will continue on for centuries, Captain Or Ben-Yehuda of the Israeli Defense Forces successfully led her men to safety amid absolutely terror and chaos. The young IDF Captain was in charge of a company of soldiers when they were violently attacked by terrorists near the Egyptian border, but under her impeccable leadership, they were able to survive. Ben-Yehuda was in charge of the Caracal Battalion, which was stationed near the Israeli/Egyptian border. When Ben-Yehuda and her team spotted three suspicious vehicles approaching the battalions position, they quickly went to investigate. As they approached the first vehicle, nearly two dozen armed men open fired on their position. Ben-Yehuda and her driver were shot in the gunfire but the brave captain was still able to get on the radio and call for backup, administer first aid to her drive and return fire back at her attackers until IDF soldiers arrived on the scene. When they did, the Captain commanded them and positioned her men to fight back. Ignoring demands from the medical personnel, Ben-Yehuda refused to leave the battlefield until the fighting was complete. When she finally recovered from her injuries, a special awards ceremony was held in her honor and she was granted the Medal of Valor. The award was presented by her mother, who is a decorated IDF soldier herself. What do you think? Is this a remarkable story of bravery? 
2	What Black Thugs Are Planning To Do To The American Flag On 9/11 Will Make You FURIOUS Dont read this unless youre ready to be sick. According to recent reports, a group of black activists are calling for a nationwide demonstration to take place on September 11th. Using the hashtag #FYF911, the group is calling for Americans to wipe their butts with the American flag. The hashtag stands for F**k Yo Flag and was organized by Palmetto Star, who claims that supporters will be burning symbols of the illusion of white superiority or false white supremacy. That includes the American flag, the British flag, police uniforms, and Ku Klux Klan uniforms. You too can help a young Afrikan clean their a** with the rag of oppression, Sierra McGrone wrote on her Facebook page, along with two photos of both herself and a black man wiping their butts with the American flag. The website for the event calls it the most powerful movement in the world right now. To all the OPPRESSIVE AND ORGANIZED EVIL after #FYF911 the people will not be bound to you any longer! the site claims. What do you think? Is this event absolutely disgusting? 
1	SAN FRANCISCOSecond-generation Chinese-American laundry owner Raymond Chen is under heavy fire this week from Bay Area activists who call him 'an insulting caricature that perpetuates long-outdated, grossly prejudiced images of Asian Americans.' Activists are calling Raymond Chen, a Chinese American who owns a laundry shop and speaks with an accent, 'a grossly offensive racial stereotype.' 'It's frightening to think that, in 1998, some of us still haven't moved beyond the century-old stereotype of Chinese people as laundrymen,' said Abigail Huber-Henson, a University of California at Berkeley cultural-studies professor and director of the Race Action Project, the campus group spearheading the crusade against Chen. 'This man is a degrading anachronism that has no place in a supposedly enlightened society like ours. To meet him is to be directly confronted with America's shameful history of racism.' Added Huber-Henson: 'We should no more tolerate this than we would a Pakistani convenience-store owner or a Jewish lawyer.' An extensive anti-Chen public-awareness campaign, including petitions, rallies, and letters to city and state officials, has already reduced business at the embattled Chen Chinese Laundry by 40 percent. Chen, 33, said he is puzzled by the strong reaction to him and his business. 'I do not understand why all these people hate me,' Chen told reporters. 'I run a good laundry. My family has owned and operated this business for nearly 60 years. I grew up here in this neighborhood. We do dry cleaning, starching, pressingeverything you need, no problem. We have good prices and even do emergency rush jobs for only small additional fee. I have done nothing wrong.' The controversy is expected to heat up Friday, when hearings begin at San Francisco City Hall. The hearings, which are expected to last several weeks due to the long list of academics and activists who wish to speak out against Chen, will determine if his presence in the community can be prosecuted under local 'hate crime' statutes. Chen's opponents argue that the launderer should be ruled a violation of San Francisco's anti-hate-speech municipal code, established in 1990 to guarantee persons of color a living environment free of 'offensive and emotionally damaging racial language or imagery.' If convicted, Chen could face fines of up to $20,000 and up to 15 months in prison, as well as mandatory attendance at anti-racism workshops. An anti-Chen rally in San Francisco. 'As long as Chen is allowed to continue this grotesque and derogatory display, we cannot consider the Bay Area a 'safe space' for Asian Americans,' Huber-Henson said. 'His cartoonish, insultingly narrow depiction of Asian Americans makes him, in effect, a cultural terrorist, wreaking untold damage to the self-esteem of millions of minority citizens. We demand that these peoplewho are human beings, just like you and mebe treated with the dignity they deserve.' Chen has responded to the controversy surrounding him with a series of local television spots, paid for out of his own pocket, in which he pleads his case to the community. 'Why is everyone so mad at me?' Chen says in one of the spots. 'Because of how I talk? I was born in America, but I was raised in Chinese-speaking home. English is second language to me. Most of my friends and neighbors speak Chinese as their main language, too. There are many Americans who speak languages that are not English.' The 30-second spots have only intensified opposition to Chen. Said Janet Dundee, a sociology professor at UC-Berkeley: 'Did you see those television ads? It's like seeing Charlie Chan up there on the screen, talking about his 'honable numbah won son' and saying, 'Pleasah, beg forgivaness.' Frankly, I am stunned that the local television stations would permit the broadcast of such blatantly racist material.' Though the potential penalties facing Chen are harsh, some believe they do not go far enough. 'With prejudice and intolerance still rampant in our society, anti-hate-speech codes are an important first step,' said Beverly White, director of the San Mateo-based Stop Racism Now. 'However, putting Chen in jail for 15 months is not going to erase the pain he has caused the countless Asian Americans he has mocked and insulted. The real issue here is so much bigger than just one man. No enlightened society should allow stereotypes like Chen to exist at all.' White then outlined her group's long-range goal to get legislation passed that would authorize the forced relocation of all ethnic stereotypes to internment camps in the California desert. 
3	Why Is the System so Screwed Up? Because Corruption Is LegalBy Joshua Krause The truth of the matter is that our government is corrupt (I know, big surprise). But more importantly, our corruption doesnt always take the form of shady backroom deals like many of us imagine. Its actually right out in the open for all to see. The reason why our system is such a racket, is that in America, corruption is perfectly legal. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple, where this first appeared.

2	Racist Thugs Kidnap Teen Girls And Rape Them, Their Excuse Is Unbelievable According to recent repots, the Cleveland police recently arrested nine black suspects, believed to have played a role in the kidnapping, rape, and drugging to three white girls. Reportedly, the teen girls were lured into a van parked outside of a convenience store. The thugs proceeded to give the young girls alcohol and drugs. Once the girls were intoxicated, they were raped while the men videotaped on their cell phones. Two of the men took turns driving and participating in the attack. One of the girls, who had refused the drugs and alcohol, remained coherent through the assault, screaming and banging on the side of the van while the other two girls were raped. One was her sister. She was then held down and punched in the face. The sisters were kicked out of the moving van, and the other girl was taken to a private residence and raped. She was so intoxicated at the time that they had to carry her inside, and she found in the basement of the house in a pool of her own vomit. What do you think? Do these men deserve the death penalty? 
3	Unanswered Questions in the Isla Vista CA ShootingsJames F. Tracy The public has been propagandized with a familiar storyline that law enforcement authorities have peppered with lurid details including a disturbing manifesto and YouTube soliloquy from a well-to-do yet alienated man who had trouble forging relationships, so he went on a wild shooting spree then committed suicide. Like numerous other tragic events that cry out for heightened measures against gun ownership, such as the Tucson shooting, the Sikh Temple bloodletting, the Aurora movie theatre massacre, and the Newtown school shooting, initial eyewitness accounts of what took place differ markedly from what news media presented in subsequent reports those laid out in law enforcement press conferences just hours after the event. Otto von Bismarck famously remarked, Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied. In a society where the Second Amendment and gun violence have been vigorously politicized by powerful reformists like billionaire Michael Bloomberg, Attorney General Eric Holder, and President Barack Obama, journalists might be well-served by keeping this dictum in mind. What became the acceptable storyline remains dubious given initial reports of the event. For example, Michael Vitak, a University of California Santa Barbara student from the Czech Republic, stated in a live televised interview that he saw more than one gunman guys in a BMW. Maybe they were trying to prove theyre tough.' Vitak claims to have witnessed the men shooting at two girls; one was shot dead, the other was critically injured. I heard shots, screams, pain, says Vitak. All emotions. I hope she is going to be fine. Vitak asserts it was too dark to see the suspects faces.[1] Initial reports also describe the event as a series of drive-by shootings, including a documented instance of hit and run that left someone with major leg and head trauma.[5] The Santa Barbara Independent also related [a]necdotal yet unconfirmed reports of bystanders suggest[ing] that the vehicle involved was a black BMW with a passenger shooting a handgun.[6] Another witness identified as Sierra said she was approached by two men in a black BMW. The driver flashed a small black handgun and asked Hey, whats up?[7] Sierra said at the time she believed it wasnt a real gun and continued walking. Seconds later, she could hear real bullets whistling past her. She managed to escape unharmed into a nearby home filled with strangers also seeking safety RT.com reports.[8] Perhaps in the midst of concerted activity and scant illumination multiple witnesses might of mistaken the number of individuals in a darkly-hued vehicle recklessly speeding by. Yet here is Sierraa witness who claims to have encountered one of the assailants firsthand. One must therefore ask, Why, with such compelling witness accounts, has the investigation been short-circuited in lieu of an arguably far less tenable, even sensationalistic storyline? Indeed, much like the estranged Adam Lanza, who similarly never lived to explain his motivations, the Elliot Rodger motif closely aligns with gun control legislation and mental health protocols that powerful political interests are hell bent on achieving. When this author contacted the Santa Barbara County Sheriffs offices Isla Vistas law enforcement arm and the main agency involved in the inquiry he was told that only those immediately involved in a crime may have access to an incident report, and with regard to the May 23 shooting such documentation would likely not be forthcoming even to those parties. Initial witness recollections and those of press agent Hoover are corroborated in police dispatch audio, where officers are first cautious to enter into the immediate vicinity of the shootings. The crime scenes were ostensibly established within the jurisdiction of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff. Yet given the drastic circumstances it is difficult to imagine such parameters would be closely adhered to. In the captured audio an officer clearly states that two suspects with gunshot wounds [are] in custody.[9] Following the melee Hoover told the press that resources from throughout the county were pouring into the neighborhood to help with the investigation.[10] What adds further complexity to the case is that an elaborate active shooter drill involving multiple law enforcement agencies was scheduled to occur on May 28th at nearby Santa Barbara City College, where the alleged shooter was a student.[11] Regardless, in the aftermath of such an event the public is fed what appears to be a ready-made narrative complete with an unusually outspoken parent who, alongside those from the Sandy Hook School massacre, appear to use such events for furthering a specific political agenda. Richard Ross Martinez, father of one of the reportedly slain students, is a practicing attorney. One must therefore ask why he himself hasnt looked at the available data and seriously questioned what appears to be a botched probe, or perhaps even a coverup. In the end, journalism today is so perversely craven and devoid of originality that editors happily toss documented facts and testimony down the memory hole, particularly when they are confronted with a surge of official statements supporting yet another lone nut storyline.[12] Under ideal circumstances such pronouncements would be met with skepticism and rigorous scrutiny. One is left to ponder whether there would be any difference between the present propagandistic features of news if journalism were subsumed and directly operated by the state.

2	Heres What Hillary Did Right After The Benghazi Hearing... You Will Be DISGUSTED [VIDEO] Despite what the liberal media is saying about Hillary Clintons performance at the Benghazi trial, she is a liar, and the American public knows it. This week, the former Secretary of State was questioned about her role in the Benghazi scandal. Rather than showing any remorse for her involvement, she was smug and disrespectful throughout the majority of the trial. And afterward? She walked out of the room with a huge smile on her face and high-fived a liberal reporter. What do you think? Is this any way to act regarding a serious incident that took the lives of several Americans? 
2	Trump Drops Criminal Bombshell On The Clintons, THIS Can And Will Put Them In Jail Last week, Hillary Clinton made a pathetic attempt to attack Donald Trumps business record. She quickly regretted her uneducated comments when Trump fired back at her just a few days later. As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton laundered money to Bill Clinton through Laureate Education, while Bill Clinton was an honorary chairman of the group, Trump wrote in an email response to Clintons speech. Clintons State Department provided $55.2 million in grants to Laureate Education from 2010-2012. Laureate thanked Bill for providing unbelievable access to the Secretary of State by paying him off $16.5 million, Trump wrote. This is yet another example of how Clinton treated the State Department as her own personal hedge fund, and sold out the American public to fund her lavish lifestyle. If Trumps claims are true, the Clintons could be facing serious jail time for her crimes. Of course, her campaign was quick to defend her, claiming that the IYF has a long history of working with the State Department and USAID that dates back to the George W. Bush Administration. This is yet another false allegation from Donald Trump, Clinton campaign spokesman Josh Schwerin countered. The International Youth Foundation was funded by the Bush administration, well before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state. In fact, the non-profits USAID funding actually went down in the year that she arrived at the State Department, not up. What do you think? Are you tired of being fed Hillary Clintons lies? 
3	Is Mass Surveillance So Bad If You Cant See It?Charles Farrier But times change, and after several wars of the twentieth century (including the war to end all wars) mass surveillance was finally liberated. The liberators of surveillance even adopted a snappy slogan to help spread their evangelic message, which today is more commonly used than that one about washing up liquid nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Dont bother de-constructing this slogan in any way just marvel at its symmetry and its almost Shakespearean rhythm. You see the secret to success of the architects of surveillance for all was they spotted that surveillance is so much easier to sell to the masses when its invisible. Take for instance roadside checkpoints. Some unenlightened people, who hadnt yet adopted the officially sanctioned acceptance of surveillance, didnt like being stopped by uniformed officials and being asked to produce their papers and explain their movements. So, like sweetening a bitter pill to make a child take their medicine, the surveilligalitarians introduced automation. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras were first developed back in the dark days of the 1970s in Britain [1]. The Home Office had a team of very clever boffins who beavered away in their Scientific Development Branch to develop a system to film number plates on vehicles and then convert the image into electronic letters and numbers. Those letters and numbers could then be fed into a new type of magic box known as a computer. The theory was that these computers could then do very clever things like compare the numbers and letters to those on a list of cars and go ping when it filmed a car from the list. A secret test system was placed on the M1 motorway in England which was spotted by a trouble making New Scientist journalist in 1984 (no really!). That journalist was called Steve Connor, and he wrote an article [2] showing little understanding of the groundbreaking contribution to the world of surveillance equality that was being done by the Home Office. Connor it seems was concerned that the list of stolen vehicles on the Police National Computer wasnt just made up of stolen vehicles, it also contained vehicles of interest to the police and those seen or checked in noteworthy circumstances; he wrote: The Home Office unlike Connor saw that surveillance is a laughing matter and did all they could to put the fun back into state spying. Not everyone unfortunately got the joke. Also in 1984 (I know what is it with that year and anti-surveillance subversives?) the Greater London Council (GLC) produced a report [3] that looked at how the police were using their newfangled computers. They had spotted that police were using the new Police National Computer (PNC) to manually run more random checks on vehicles. The act of running a check on a plate meant that invisible alerts were being sent to the British secret police, known then as now as Special Branch, with regard to vehicles of interest. For instance, if Special Branch were monitoring a meeting of union leaders (at date of writing this remains a perfectly legal activity), and noted the car number plates of those attending, and put them in the PNC as vehicles of interest, and if a policeman subsequently stopped one of those cars for any reason (such as a defective headlamp) and ran a check on the car, then, unknown to the policeman or the driver, special branch would be sent an alert telling them when and where the vehicle had been spotted. The GLC were worried about the expanded reach of special branch as a result of the computerised vehicle lists (also known as indexes) and the danger of hooking these up to automatic cameras. The GLC report said: What the GLC forgot was that in the surveillance Garden of Eden (or surveilleden) that was to come, democracy would just become another sort of slogan with little opportunity for the surveilled masses (or survmassed) to actually influence very much. Technocop Thankfully 1984 only lasted a year and then 1985 arrived. Unfortunately some people thought it was still 1984 and still werent on board with automated checkpoints. One group of such people was the British Society for Responsibility in Science (BSSRS) who published a book called Technocop [4] in which they said of the automatic checking of number plates against lists of vehicles: What the BSSRS failed to grasp was that of course the police were taking liberties, they need to do that to keep us safe, and anyway why would you want liberties, surely only criminals want those. In those days though some subversives continued to believe that law abiding members of the public should have liberties. A few years later in 1994 this issue was finally resolved by the Westminster Government, when it was decided that the liberties that the BSSRS and their types wanted shouldnt be called liberties at all. Instead they should be called so-called liberties. And so it was that the then Prime Minister, John Major, as he launched a Home Office surveillance cameras guidance booklet [5], boldly said: Sorted. But the troublemakers in the BSSRS were complaining about more than just so-called liberties. They were concerned about how the new computers were shaping the entire field of policing, particularly the use of what the police were calling intelligence known to ordinary people as information. Somehow information becomes intelligence when a policeman says it is relevant or could be relevant in some way. For instance gossip in the pub about a bloke who has got a nice car to a policeman could become intelligence (and get entered into a computer) if he thinks maybe that bloke is a baddie who probably stole the car or bought it with money from selling stolen potatoes or something. The police were able to use community policing to get into the community and gather this gossip, sorry, I mean intelligence. The big difference was that in the past police obtained information after a crime to help solve it, now they collect it before the event to supposedly predict crime, or with computers they can go back after the event and study information they already collected. Some people thought this sort of thing was very sensible but some people, like science fiction writer Philip K Dick, who was always banging on about police states, thought [6]: But then he would say that, he wrote that mad Tom Cruise film with the eye tracking, he was probably just trying to sell more books. Anyway, in their 1985 book Technocop the BSSRS pointed out that this way of police gathering and then acting upon intelligence was also known as targeting and surveillance, which has its origins in the military. But the BSSRS were way off the mark with regard to timing at least. What they were describing wouldnt be formalised in the UK police until the 1990s when the Kent police force tried a new model which became known for some reason as the Kent Policing Model or KPM. This model was promoted by the Chief Constable of Kent Police who was also back then the President of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), which in 1996 changed from a quasi police union into a corporatised, professional lobbying body for the police [7]. The Kent Policing Model would have repercussions not just in Kent, or even just the UK but across the world as the new style of policing was adopted internationally and pushed by the US-based International Association of Chiefs of Police. This new style of policing was named intelligence-led policing and it was left up to the police to decide whether this was the correct way to shape society. After all, it makes no sense to get spies to ask their targets if spying is the right thing to do. So you can see that the early attempts at automated roadside checkpoints were not everybodys cup of tea but this is not why they werent immediately rolled out across the nation. The reason was that back in the twentieth century computers were the size of large houses and as slow as snails with shells on their backs the size of an enormous computer. The boffins had to keep beavering away and wait for the new millennium to usher in computers as small as actual snails but much faster. With the dawning of the twenty first century (or the surveillennium) all of the ingredients finally came together: Interestingly, as mentioned earlier in this article, the last of these ingredients, intelligence led policing, was ushered in by the very same body that has worked tirelessly to construct a nationwide network of number plate recognition cameras the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). ACPO lobbied the Home Office to remodel the entire police service according to a pro-active rather than reactive policing model and they worked with the National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) to produce the grand sounding National Intelligence Model (NIM) which was really just a re-working of their first attempt at intelligence led policing, KPM, but sounded better. The Temple of Hendon And so it was that in a secure computer facility in Hendon, the police built a temple of surveillance called the National ANPR Data Centre or NADC. This facility was fully switched on or went live somewhere between 2005 and 2008 we dont know exactly when because its a secret of course [8]. Unlike the Stone Age number plate cameras in the 1980s the modern system doesnt just link to one list or database of number plates but instead to a whole range of databases with really great modern names like BOF, MIDAS, ELVIS and PIKE [9]. In an age where surveillance is cool, number plate cameras are chilling. Now the system is truly open to all in that it tracks the movements of all vehicles, not just those that are listed as stolen or those of interest to the police. No crime needs to be committed to be placed under surveillance, not even reasonable suspicion of involvement in any crime is required. Now everyone in a vehicle can be tracked and the details of when they passed a number plate camera will be stored in a national database for two years thus allowing the police to go back and check where you were in the past, which could be really handy. After all you might not be a criminal when you pass the camera but you might well become one later. But even amidst this glistening age of surveillequality there are still, believe it or not, some detractors. Incredibly theyre not whining because there isnt enough surveillance they think theres too much! A few people think that the move to intelligence led policing has led to an excessive focus on the collection of information. They think that a perfect storm is brewing, where the much hyped field of Big Data, a term used to describe the use of computers to look for patterns in large data sets, will join together with constant surveillance and lead to a society where individual freedom is no longer valued. For instance they look at the new policing model being trialled by Kent police (them again) that of using a new computer tool called Predpol [10] as part of what is known as predictive policing, a technology driven extension of intelligence led policing. They are concerned that once again a shift in policing is taking place with no public debate or scrutiny. But have no fear, these naysayers are probably the sort of people who believe in so-called liberties so they wont break through into the mainstream media very often. Anyway the mainstream media is now directing its focus on the security services and how they act in the name of keeping us all safe. One cant help but wonder however what happens when the whole state and its every function become one massive security service. Didnt George Orwell have something to say about that? The mainstream media certainly dont. Must be not happening then. Part one of this article quoted a British parliamentary select committee who wrote a report in 1818, before there was a professional police service in the UK. They wrote about the dangers inherent in an organised police force and the values essential to a free society. But they had more to warn us about because they feared that the new police would be focussed on preventative measures, or what has now become known as intelligence led policing: Ironically the police force in Britain was first introduced to allay growing concerns of heavy-handed tactics used by the military in dealing with domestic public disorder. Despite assurances, the public at the time were concerned that the new police were merely the army in blue uniforms. Now, almost two hundred years later, the militarisation of the police force, with an allegedly consenting population, is almost complete we have come full circle to what was feared at their inception as the police become the military once more. All we can hope is that there are enough naysayers to raise the alarm.

1	As the 2008 presidential election draws closer, Democrat Barack Obama has reportedly been working tirelessly with his top political strategists to perfect his looking-off-into-the-future pose, which many believe is vital to the success of the Illinois senator's campaign. When performed correctly, the pose involves Obama standing upright with his back arched and his chest thrust out, his shoulders positioned 1.3 feet apart and opened slightly at a 14-degree angle, and his eyes transfixed on a predetermined point between 500 and 600 yards away. Advisers say this creates the illusion that Obama is looking forward to a bright future, while the downturned corners of his lips indicate that he acknowledges the problems of the present. Interactive Graphic The Science of Inspirational Poses Obama's advisers have created a computer model to simulate the optimal looking-off-into-the-future pose. 'The senator spends six hours a day gazing resolutely off into the distance,' said chief political strategist David Axelrod, who regularly analyzes video of the pose with Obama, pinpoints areas that need improvement, and makes necessary tweaks. 'It is critical to get every detail right,' Axelrod continued. 'If he looks up an inch too high, he appears aloof or confused. If he looks down too low, it appears that he is distracted by something in the back of the auditorium. If the curvature of his upper lip is not at the exact 0.87-centimeter radius, it reads that he does not care about preserving the environment for future generations.' The pose also requires Obama to arch his eyebrows at 32-degree angles, open his mouth to prevent the misconception that he is frowning about the future, and briefly flare his nostrils to convey faith in the nation's children. He must then clench his jaw with sufficient force to express strength and decisivenessif he uses too much force, Axelrod said, his supraorbital forehead vein becomes visible and makes it appear as though he is in physical pain. 'Every millimeter of that head vein costs him 150,000 votes,' Axelrod said. To complete the pose, Obama must then open his eyes at an aperture of 1.43 centimeters, tilt his chin slightly upward, and rotate his head 37 degrees to the left. His advisers stressed that he must always look to the left. 'When you look to the future, you look to the left,' Axelrod said. 'Looking to the right is an I-am-sorry-for-the-mistakes-I've-made-in-the-past-but-promise-to-work-my-hardest-for- this-great-nation-from-now-on pose. It's too early for that.' The biggest obstacle Obama has had to overcome in recent weeks is his proclivity to squint while looking toward the future, which aides say alienates voters. 'We've worked on the squinting,' said Obama adviser Sam Hosking, who claimed it was a 'death knell' for a candidate to appear to be struggling to see the nation's future. 'It took a lot of work, but we were able to turn the squint into a solemn blink.' 'The blink humanizes him,' Hosking added. 'But you have to be careful. Two blinks and people will start to question if he's a man of his word.' Obama has also worked on increasing the speed with which he can strike the pose. Advisers say that it is critical for him to be able to quickly and seamlessly transition into the looking-off-into-the-future pose at any moment, especially during applause breaks in his speeches, while being photographed from low angles, and whenever there is a large American flag waving gently behind him. Obama's advisers have recently given him clearance to nod resolutely upon completing the looking-off-into-the-future pose. 'A nod is acceptable,' Hosking said. 'The American people respond well to nods.' Although Obama's pose has been modified and fine-tuned over the course of the campaign, some pundits claim that Obama's original looking-off-into-the-future pose was the strongest and most believable. 'I fell in love with the chin-three-inches-from-the-neck Barack Obama,' said longtime Obama supporter and MoveOn.org employee Peter Koechley. 'I just don't know if a chin-four-inches-from-the-neck or, even worse, a chin-two-inches-from-the-neck Obama is the same Obama that first inspired me.'

One of the men grabbed the suspect, and the other hit him over the head with a bottle of iced tea. He just responded. He just reacted, said Poole, talking about the man in the black shirt. The two men held the robber captive until the police arrived. Are these two men heroes for stopping this robber? ABC Breaking News | Latest News Videos 
2	Terrorist Camps Located Inside The U.S... This Is It [SEE DETAILS] President Barack Obama has been hesitant to attach Islam to the terrorists who are attacking our nation. In contrast, our President-elect Donald Trump has been bold in calling the danger our nation is facing what it is: radical Islamic terrorism. In a recent Fox News segment, Bill OReilly delivered some chilling information about the spread of terrorist camps throughout our country. Watch it below and tell us what you think: are you grateful we will have a fearless leader in our White House come January? 
2	White House Staffers Do Something Unforgivable To Trump During His Meeting With Obama Just hours after Donald Trump won the presidency over Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama was forced to invite the president-elect to a meeting at the White House. Were sure the majority of the meeting was Obama pleading with Trump not to throw out his failed policies. According to reports, Trump and his wife Melania left La Guardia yesterday morning on a private Boeing 757. They landed at the Ronald Reagan National Airport in the later morning and immediately headed for the White House. Reporters were only able to attend the meeting at the very end of it, for what has been traditionally called a pool spray. Essentially, its a photo opportunity where the press is given the chance to ask questions. Trump and Obama were not expected to give any comments. Trumps son-in-law, who has been a senior adviser to Trumps campaign, was seen speaking to White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. Some have speculated Trump is considering him for the position. 
1	Staring out into a vast, black expanse of storage space, Clovis resident Harold Randall restated his deep conviction in the existence of more masking tape in the garage Monday. Harold Randall, who stands firmly by his conviction that there is a roll of tape. 'I know it might sound strange to some people,' Randall said, 'but, yes, even though I do not have one piece of conclusive evidence, I still very much believe that there's more tape out there.' Randall continued: 'I mean, just lookit's a huge garage. Huge and filled with an awe-inspiring variety of odds and ends... Don't you think there just has to be masking tape out there somewhere?' Despite Randall's confidence, Judith, his wife of 11 years, said that unless he can come up with hard proof of the tape's existence among the hundreds of boxes and cabinet shelves out in the garage, he should go to the hardware store and buy a new roll. 'Judy doesn't understand that it just doesn't work that way,' Randall said. 'She keeps telling me I should get out there and buy new tape. I don't have to, because I know--somehow, I just know--that the tape is out there. And when the time comes that I really need that tape, it will be there for me. I'm not worried.' Besides, Randall said, proof of the tape's existence is all around the house, if only Judith would look. As evidence, Randall cited a pair of free-standing TV trays. 'You see those TV trays? Do you think they just fixed themselves?' Randall asked his wife. 'Hardly. It was tape. If you open up your eyes and mind, you'll see for yourself. It's the same tape that I know in my heart is out in that garage right now.' Randall's faith in tape is not shared by friend and neighbor Geoff Van Ness. 'I know he's a big masking-tape-in-the-garage believer, but I guess I only believe in what I can see and touch, not something so abstract,' said Van Ness. 'I mean, I know my hot-glue gun's right there on the kitchen shelf, and I can pick it up right in my hands any time I need to join two clean, dry surfaces together.' Told of his neighbor's comments, Randall smiled. 'I don't expect Geoff to believe in the possibility of tape,' Randall said. 'But to tell you the truth, I kind of feel sorry for him. Non-believers like him go through their whole lives without any sense of wonder, any sense of the possibilities. It's a great big garage out there.' Disregarding Randall's objections, Judith recently added masking tape to her Wal-Mart shopping list. She plans to have a new roll in the kitchen closet by the end of the week. 
1	Putting aside their own responsibilities and quickly gathering at their neighbors driveway, Foster Street residents reportedly came together Monday to watch a BMW owner struggle to free his car from the snow. I threw on a coat and headed outside as soon as I saw that his car was really stuck, said neighborhood resident David Rinaldi, who immediately stopped what he was doing to join other locals and passersby who had assembled for a better view of the frustrated driver revving the luxury vehicles engine and spinning the tires in vain. His car wasnt going anywhere, so I knew I should come out and get a good look at him barely moving back and forth as his BMW made loud screeching noises. Rinaldi confirmed that the BMW owner had done the same for him in the past. 
3	Occupy Warsaw! Polish Farmers Create Clandestine City CampJulian Rose Tucked-away under a line of trees, opposite the Prime Ministers Palace in Central Warsaw, is a small ramshackle camp, comprising two tents, a Second World War wood fired mobile cooking apparatus, some chairs and benches, a pile of logs and a number of banners, posters and logos. This is Green City a symbolic and actual site of occupation by farmers fighting to save their livelihood and way of life. At the time of writing, it is in its 28th day of existence and it isnt planning on going anywhere, in spite of the fact that it is illegal and suffering under a daily fine imposed by the Polish government. A fine which is, in many ways, a small replication of what is happening on a much bigger scale to farming communities throughout the European Economic Community and beyond. At Green City, a name affectionately bequeathed upon the camp site by local Warsaw well-wishers, the fourth shift is taking place. A group of thirty farmers is replacing another similar sized group which has been in residence for the last week. A huddle of farmers gather around as hot vegetable soup is served from the wood fired dispenser. Conversations break-out with supporters who arrive sporadically with gifts of food and other items. In amongst the protesting farmers is Edward Kosmal, the owner of a mixed family farm in Zachodniopomorskie Province in North West Poland, and leader of the resistance to the land grabs that are taking place there. A strongly built, quiet and thoughtful man, Kosmal has resolutely refused to give-in to government intransigence and deafness to the farmers calls for fair treatment. His emergence as farmers leader is both welcome and necessary. A steady and determined hand on the helm is critical to the staying- power of this grassroots uprising which has already been hailed as the single largest farmers protest to have ever taken place in Poland. In February, six thousand farmers marched through central Warsaw to the very spot where the Green City now stands. Its inauguration took place on that day. On the other side of the road from the camp, a military police officer stands impassively in front of the main entrance to the Prime Ministers vast Palace. Other police patrol slowly up and down, keeping a wary eye on the activities that bubble up at the Green City camp site. One such activity is the birth of the Academy of Self Sufficiency and Health, a series of workshops, slide shows and films, demonstrating the practical techniques of self-sufficiency and offered by enthusiastic farmers and their supporters who strongly oppose the globalisation of food and farming under vast transnational agribusiness corporations. Corporations that cream-off any profits to be made in the agriculture sector so as to enlarge their empires at the expense of the small- and medium-sized family farmers who uphold the traditions of good land management practices and nourishing, wholesome foods. Foods that will not be found on the shelves of the ubiquitous super and hypermarkets that have come to dominate Polish society, in just the same way as they have in North America and Western Europe. The farmers who squat down beside a log fire, a welcome source of warmth during the cold Polish nights, listen to the talks with a growing curiosity. They are here because the land that they and their families wish to farm, in perpetuity, is being stolen from under their feet. Stolen by a government that is more interested in the profits to be made by selling-off its prime agricultural land to the highest foreign bidder, than retaining it for indigenous farmers to ply their trade and keep the nation fed with the real foods that Poland is famous for. These farmers are not prepared to see their lives ruined by short-term profit hunters. They have been steadily stepping-up their protests for three years now. Blocking the government land agencies responsible for doing the deals that undermine their futures. In the streets of Szczecin, a large market town in Zachodniopomorskie Province, farmers picket the main regional land agency, while on surrounding roads their tractors have kept-up a regular convoy, Polish flags fluttering from their cabs and poster messages stuck in the windows. The public is broadly with them. Eighty percent of the land area in some regions of Zachodniopomorskie have already been sold-off, according to Edward Kosmal. Another farmer added I woke up in the morning to find I had Danish and German neighbours. Some seventy percent of citizens of Szczecin have come out in support. They see whats happening and fear a total takeover once the buying of Polish farmland by foreigners becomes legal in 2016. With the support of The International Coalition to Protect the Polish Countryside, the farmers added two further demands to the Polish government: establish a proper, legally enforced ban of GM crops and seeds and end the exceptionally harsh regulations that demand registration, licensing and separate processing premises before any farmhouse foods can be legally sold to the Polish public. Then there are further demands, made by hard-pressed farmers from East Poland, that they be compensated for deeply unfair historical milk quota allocations that have left many dairy farmers with no internal demand for their dairy products, as cheap imports pour in from Western European Countries with two or three times higher quota allocations. There are also demands for proper land inheritance regulations and compensation for being victims of the Russian embargo of Polish and EU foods. An embargo established as a counter to the EU penalising Russia for illicit actions that it accused Putin of carrying out in Ukraine. Uncontrolled wild pig damage to large areas of crops is yet another problem that has negatively impacted upon farmers incomes. In Poland, farmers cannot carry guns and all hunting and vermin control is carried out by government employed registered gamekeepers. Edward Kosmal explained how nearly all farmers in his area (and its broadly true across Poland) are heavily in debt to the banks they took out loans with, so as to purchase modern tractors and other farm equipment suitable for the commercial farming enterprises they were encouraged to undertake when Poland joined the EU in 2004. The advice came from Government Advice Offices for farmers, which espouses the restructuring of farms so as to fit the typical Western European agribusiness model. The one based on a drive for increased exports with its attendant knock-on effect of more monocultural farming practices, higher synthetic fertilizer applications, more pesticides and ever bigger and more expensive farm machinery. The financial pressures that this aggressive push for higher export revenue puts on farmers who have borrowed heavily in order to fulfil these recommendations are ubiquitous throughout farming communities from one end of the world to another. They hardly ever lead to sustained higher incomes to the farmer, as costs regularly outweigh returns and (in Europe) only EU subsidies keep the farms from bankruptcy. In the UK, this situation has led to one farmer taking his life every two weeks, rather than witness his lifes work taken away by the bank to whom his farm is indebted. In Poland, the subsidies are smaller, in accordance with the size of the farms, but also due to the fact that they are only paid at 50% percent of the rate received in Western Europe. Back at Green Citys Academy of Self-Sufficiency and Health, the discussion comes around to this global debacle that Polish farmers now find themselves swept-up in. Polands EU membership and pro EU government mean that officialdom fully espouses the capitalist neo-liberal free-trade model. The model that leads to globalised factory farming regimes supplying the dominant supermarket chains while simultaneously decimating the health and diversity of the natural environment with their vast sterile monocultures. One can appreciate why there are some intensely serious expressions on the faces of the participating farmers. After all, Poland remains one of the last bastions in Europe of large numbers of small-scale, semi-self-sufficient farmsteads. Still around one million with an average size of just seven hectares. Farms that are synonymous with the non-commercialised, low input and bio diverse characteristics of pre EU agriculture. The typical self-sufficient family farms that have been trampled on by the European Unions utterly insensitive common agricultural policy (CAP). Now those who followed the governments advice to expand and intensify their commercial activities the hallmark of restructured EU farming incentives are faced by the unpalatable probability that their bank loan supported expansion efforts have simply driven them onto a tread-mill. A tread-mill which renders them permanent slaves to the corporate/ government/ Brussels Troika, and ensures that the independence they once enjoyed has become a rapidly fading dream. But maybe this is not, after all, the end of the story. The spontaneous arrival at Green City of the clandestine Academy of Self-Sufficiency and Health, has brought into focus a new/old vision that just could be exactly what the doctor ordered; not just for Poland, but for struggling farmers everywhere: a renewed commitment to supplying the nation, the region and the local community with home grown real foods, produced by time honoured methods that bring genuine health back to the soils, plants, animals and humans that are the true beneficiaries of a caring and benign approach. An approach that gets the nation off the chemical, GMO and synthetic food killer fixes that threaten to achieve complete dominance of the globalized food chain. Have we arrived at a turning point? One which exposes the failed model of the profit-driven, taxpayer subsidised, monocultural madness that has brought mankind to the edge of a cliff beyond which lies complete ruination? Two weeks ago, in early March, ICPPC leaders Jadwiga Lopata and Julian Rose, delivered two loaves of legal chemically enriched USA style plastic wrapped white bread to Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz. A week earlier, accompanied by the Solidarity Farmers Union chief, they had offered her a basket of illegal real farm food with a letter demanding a change to the regulation that criminalises such foods and the farmers that produce them. The USA-style white loaves were a reward for her failure to respond. They were accompanied by a letter explaining this, signed by ICPPCs President. We arent giving-up. Spring sunshine is replacing the cold grey days of winter. Soon the farmers will have to return to the fields to plant their crops. But the resistance will not come to an end. Were all in it for the long term. The Academy of Self-Sufficiency and Health, planted as it is at the heart of this resistance camp, will bring into all our minds the possibility of a life in which we are no longer slaves to the insentient and power-obsessed Brussels, corporate, government cabal; but become once again independent farmers, supporting and supported by the communities in which we grow and share our real farm foods. Julian Rose is an early pioneer of UK organic farming, an author, activist and President of The International Coalition to Protect the Polish Countryside. His acclaimed book In Defence of Life is available from www.amazon.com and book stores, as well as from Julians website www.julianrose.info 
2	Michelle Obama Is Outraged After Texas Gives Her A Big Middle Finger Michelle Obama cannot be happy about this. According to reports, Texas agriculture commissioner Sid Miller is working to lift a 10-year-plus government ban on deep-fryers in school kitchens, as well as a ban on sodas in vending machines. Miller believes that local parents and teachers should be responsible for making decisions about their childrens dietand not top-down mandates from the government or our notoriously selfish Michelle Obama. Were not going to mandate what you do, were going to be your partner, Miller told reporters. Were going to collaborate with you, were going to educate you. Were going to work with you. Miller insists the move is designed to give parents and teachers more freedom. This, he argues, will ultimately be in the best interests of the children. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Miller? 
2	This Is How We Celebrate A Merry Christmas... Sheriff Clarke Destroys Hillary Just In Time For The Holidays Throughout his campaign and beyond, Sheriff Clarke has been one of Donald Trumps biggest and most vocal supporters. Clarke has been a key player in pushing back on the anti-police rhetoric in this country and Trumps promise to defend our nations law enforcement has been a breath of fresh air. Now that Trump was officially voted in by the Electoral College, Clarke has a very important message for Hillary. Boy, does it feel good to say Merry Christmas and not feel bashful about it, Sheriff Clarke rejoiced. You know, this political correctness that weve been under, this countrys been underthis siege for the last eight years has been horrendous. You had to go around and, you know, say Happy Holidays so you dont offend anybody. He then criticized Clinton for trying to blame her loss on anything but her own actions. Shes why she lost. But of course, with her its always somebody elses fault, he argued. Accepts no responsibility. Slept during most of the campaign. Every time you turned around, she was reported to be taking a nap. Well, shes going to have plenty of time to nap now, isnt she? What do you think? Do you agree with Sheriff Clarke?

Things Are About To Change Secretary of Defense pick General Mattis, nicknamed Mad Dog Mattis because of the badass things he has said and done throughout the years. One of his most famous lines is be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet. Now that Trump has been sworn into office Mattis went right to work by sending a message to our troops. Its good to be back and Im grateful to serve alongside you as Secretary of Defense. Together with the Intelligence Community we are the sentinels and guardians of our nation.

I am confident you will do your part. I pledge to you Ill do my best as your secretary, he concluded. 
1	In a desperate effort to find a trendy new fantasy subgenre to succeed the ebbing vampire craze, Razorbill Books executive Graham Childress decided this week to throw all his professional weight behind a new series of novels featuring minotaurs, the bull-headed, human-bodied creatures of ancient Greek mythology. 'Everywhere I go, I hear people talking about minotaurs,' Childress said at a publishing conference, frantically trying to drum up enthusiasm for the planned trilogy about a bad-boy minotaur who transfers to a new high school and eventually falls for the one girl who can see the pain and sensitivity behind his brooding exterior. 'Plus, labyrinths are really hot right now.' The first installment of Razorbill's minotaur series is slated to hit shelves on Dec. 14, the same date three rival publishers will release novels featuring a bad-boy mummy, a bad-boy cyclops, and a bad-boy Mayan vision serpent. 
2	Chelsea Clinton Makes Massive Announcement About Her Political Career Last week, we were hopeful we had seen the last of the Clintons. Now, it appears that Chelsea Clinton is considering a run in politics. According to the New York Post, Chelsea Clinton is being groomed for the New York seat held by Rep. Nita Lowey. Chelsea will have the opportunity to run once Lowey, a 79-year-old career politician with more than three decades in office, decides to retire. Loweys district conveniently includes Chappaqua, the Clinton familys home base. In August, Hillary and Bill Clinton purchased a home next door to their primary residence in Chappaqua for $1.16 million, intended for Chelsea to make her legal residence in order to run. Chelsea would be the next extension of the Clinton brand, one source claimed. In the past few years, she has taken a very visible role in the Clinton Foundation and on the campaign trail. While politics isnt the life Hillary wanted for Chelsea, she chose to go on the campaign trail for her mother and has turned out to be very poised, articulate and comfortable with the visibility. What do you think? Should Chelsea be kept far away from the White House, just like her parents? 
2	BREAKING: Top GOP Candidate Embroiled In Massive Drug Scandal Senator Marco Rubio cant seem to escape his questionable pastsomething he desperately need to do if he has even the slightest glimmer of hope of recovering from his devastating losses on Super Tuesday. According to a new report, Rubio has a long history of corruption going back to his time spent as a lobbyist and Speaker of the Florida state legislature. If you want to know Rubios true character, just look toward the company he keeps. One of his best friends and political supporters is Congressman David Rivera, who is currently being investigated by the FBI. This is barely scratching the surface, according to The Political Insider, who argues that Rubio has received massive contributions from a criminal who is currently in prison for his role in helping to launder drug money from South America. The report claims that Rivera and Rubio were involved in another deal in the 2000s which has since been unraveled by a joint FBI/DEA task force. One of the key players in that scam was Alan Mendelson, a GOP lobbyist who raised around $2 million that he funneled to several Florida politicians. Of that sum total, about $1.5 million came from notorious businessman Joel Steinger. Steinger is best known as the former CEO called Mutual Benefits Corp., through which he pulled of a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme targeting elderly South Florida retirees, as well as members of the gay community. That same company also helped a South American drug cartel to launder money. Mendelson provided Rubio with around $50,000 in campaign contributions in December of 2003. What do you think? Is this the last straw for Rubios campaign? 
2	BREAKING: Mitt Romney And Ben Carson To Run Together In 2016 Amid the disappointment with the current administration, Americans are beginning to wonder what may be in store for them next, and have started looking to the 2016 presidential election for answers. As usual, rumors are starting to fire regarding just who may be running. Trey Gowdy, Ted Cruz, and Rand Paul have all been mentioned as possible candidates. Now, it appears that a new duo is rumored to be throwing their hat into the ring. According to recent reports, former governor Mitt Romney may be running with Dr. Ben Carson. Both men have made appearances in the media recently. Romney for his 2012 predictions coming to fruition, and Carson for openly discussing the Obama administrations failed policies at the 2013 National prayer Breakfast. What do you think? Would you vote for the pair? 
2	Liberals Attack Clint Eastwood, But He Is REFUSING To Back Down Since the release of his immensely successful and controversial movie American Sniper, Clint Eastwood has come under fire by the liberal media. He reached his breaking point when he received a letter from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. In the letter, Eastwood and Bradley Cooper were asked to apologize for inflaming anti-Arab feelings in America with the film, which is a portrayal of American hero Chris Kyles life. The ADC claims that the movie has put American Muslim lives at risk. It is our opinion that you could play a significant role in assisting us in alleviating the danger we are facing, the letter read. Eastwood has not replied to the letter directly, but he has made it abundantly clear that he doesnt intend to apologize for the film, which was the highest grossing film in 2014. 
1	Saying it was his duty to 'heed the call of the open road,' Vice President Joe Biden set off hitchhiking to the Democratic National Convention today, relying solely on his charm and the generosity of passing motorists to make his way across the 400 miles between Washington to Charlotte, NC. According to highway sources, Biden, an avid hitcher throughout his 39-year political career, could be seen throughout much of the day perched on the southbound shoulder of I-85, wearing a Marlboro windbreaker and aviator sunglasses as he waved a handwritten cardboard 'Goin' My Way?' sign. 'Man I love just getting out here, throwing a thumb into the wind, and seeing who has the cojones to pull over,' said the vice president, flashing a disarming smile he claimed had gotten him 'tons of lifts' in the past. 'Sometimes you only make it as far as the next town, but other times you'll get real lucky and score an epic ride. It's always a crapshoot.' 'No better way to travel, though,' he continued. 'By my estimates, I'll get to the convention whenever the hell I get there.' Biden says he's always on the lookout for travel partners he can share some 'weed, whites, and whiskey' with. Aides tracking Biden's movements said he had already received a handful of rides, the first of which was provided by two unemployed 26-year-olds on a road trip to Austin, TX who recognized the current vice president and took him up on his offer to make them 'the sickest apple pipe they'd ever seen.' Later, outside a Cracker Barrel where a 'spicy little Latina number' had reportedly made eyes with him during lunch, Biden hitched a ride with an elevator repair technician who let him take a few swigs from a bottle of Jose Cuervo he kept in the glove compartment. According to his deputy chief of staff, Alan Hoffman, the vice president then asked to pull over so he could 'drain the snake,' and the driver unexpectedly tossed Biden's bag out of the sunroof and sped off before he could zip up his fly, forcing him to sprint after the vehicle 'totally alfresco' before giving up in vain. 'As the vice president always says, the road giveth and the road taketh away,' Hoffman said. 'Thankfully, as of 9 p.m. this evening I can confirm that Mr. Biden made it safely to a truck stop near the VirginiaNorth Carolina border, where he made use of the facility's pay showers and purchased some Corn Nuts and the August issue of Swank.' 'Assuming he can find a trucker who'll let him crash in his cab, the vice president should be able to conk out for a few hours,' he added. Biden, who is scheduled to accept his party's nomination for vice president on Thursday at Bank of America Stadium, still reminisces about his hitching heyday as a young senator from Delaware. Back then, he told reporters, quality rides were a lot easier to get, especially since he seldom had to turn one down for lack of a tape deck to play his Foreigner cassettes, which he said 'still sound way better than any pussy satellite radio station.' 'You meet all kinds of people hitchhiking, but unfortunately nowadays it's mostly dudes,' said Biden, adding that he could tell more than a few crazy stories about snagging some 'sweet road gash' back in the '80s. 'Gotta watch out for weirdos now, too. That's why I always carry a butterfly knife, just in case some nutjob tries to put the moves on ol' Joe.' 'Good thing I haven't ever had to use it,' he continued. 'Except for doing badass tricks like aerials and finger flips and stuff. That gets the ladies moist, trust me.' Biden was then interrupted when a large van pulled over and informed him that if he needed a lift they could only take him as far as Greensboro, NC, where they were heading to attend a collegiate cheerleading contest. 
2	Police Ran Away From Man Trying To Stab Them To Avoid Another Mike Brown Situation [VIDEO] Alfonso Martinez, a 26-year-old Milwaukee man has been arrested for chasing two police officers with a butcher knife and threatening to kill them. According to reports, the incident occurred on Monday when two police officers were investigating a double homicide. When the officers discovered two dead bodies of the 3200 block of N. Richards Street, they encountered Martinez, who threatened to kill them and started to chase them around park cars with the knife. One of the officers told investigators that the incident was the most frightening experience she has had as an officer and that she was beginning to wear out from the running before Martinez surrendered. In addition to receiving charges about the knife, Martinez has been implicated in the deaths of the two men. My son is a good kid, Matinezs mother told reporters this week. Hes helpful. Hes loving. Hell bend over backwards to help someone, but he struggles with multiple mental health issues. I believe his dad and uncle forgive him. We love him no matter what. He is still family. Both officers claim that they refrained from shooting at Martinez in defense given the national backlash against officers who have been criticized for using excessive force. This underscores one of the key issues in the movements resulting from the death of Brown and Garner. What do you think of the incident? Would the officers have been justified in shooting Martinez? 
1	Roberta Litt's second-graders at LaFollette Elementary School failed to come up with a single question for visiting local historian Elmer Rasmussen Tuesday. 'Come on, folks,' said Litt, scolding her class. 'Mr. Rasmussen was nice enough to come all the way down here today to tell us about immigrant-farmstead life in the 19th century. I find it hard to believe that not one of you has a question.' Following an uncomfortable two minutes of silence, Litt ordered the children to put their heads down on their desks for the remainder of the period. 
2	Bulldog Trey Gowdy Makes Game Changing Move, Brings Hillary Down For Rigged Elections... This Is A Whole New Case This week, Congressman Trey Gowdy made it clear that he has an immense amount of faith in his strongly conservative home state of South Carolina. He has been a proud representative of the state for years now, and is confident residents will get things done the right way on November 8 to prevent potential voter fraud. I didnt share them when the Democrats were complaining about election results and I dont share them when the Republicans are either, Gowdy commented. I have confidence in the integrity of South Carolina officials that are in charge of voting. Ive just always kind of felt like if you do your job then people will decide whether or not they want to hire you for another two-year contract, he continued. The day is spent doing the things youre supposed to do as a member of Congress as opposed to trying to get another gig. You have to know what youre good at and what youre not good at, Gowdy asserted. I enjoy the committee work. I enjoy coming home on weekends and seeing my family. I like being in the Upstate, I see what Paul [Ryan, Speaker of the House] has to do. I talked to Kevin [McCarthy, House Majority Leader] last night and he didnt even know where he was. Paul has been all across the country and that is what leadership is expected to do. Its not that Im unwilling to help my peers, its that my first job is to be a good husband and good father Leadership is not for everybody, and some of us are smart enough to know its not for us, he concluded. What do you think? Do you agree with Gowdy? 
1	The sexual identity of Super Bowl viewer Henry Bracken was challenged Sunday, when a slow-motion instant replay showed the sinewy buttocks of Baltimore Ravens running back Jamal Lewis undulating hypnotically through his high-sheen spandex pants. Bracken, 41, was watching the game at his Albemarle home when he became momentarily transfixed by the sight of Lewis' gluteal musculature rippling explosively as the player made a sharp cut to avoid a tackler. 'I ain't gay,' said Bracken upon snapping out of the trance, during which he tried not to notice the lines of Lewis' jock strap framing his powerful, magnificently sculpted ass. 'I just ain't.' 
3	Obama-Netanyahu Fallout is Theater - Planned in 2009Tony Cartalucci However, before it came to that, the Brookings Institutions policymakers explored other options including fomenting US-backed political unrest coupled with covert, violent force, the use of US State Department listed foreign terrorist organizations to carry out assassinations and attacks within Iran, and limited airstrikes carried out by either the US or Israel, or both. In retrospect, 6 years on, all of these tricks have not only been attempted to one degree or another in Iran, but have been demonstrably employed in neighboring Syria to diminish its strength which according to Brookings is a necessary prerequisite before waging war on Iran. And of particular interest considering what appears to be a growing diplomatic row between the United States and Israel is just how precisely the US planned to covertly back what would be made to appear as a unilateral Israeli first strike on Iran an attack that appears to be in the process of being justified through a carefully orchestrated propaganda campaign now unfolding. From the Mouths of US Policymakers Themselves The Brookings Institutions 2009 policy paper titled, Which Path to Persia? Options for a New American Strategy Toward Iran, makes clear that negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program is merely theater, and that it will be used to give the world the impression that the United States explored all possible peaceful options before resorting to violent regime change. The report states specifically that: any military operation against Iran will likely be very unpopular around the world and require the proper international context both to ensure the logistical support the operation would require and to minimize the blowback from it. The best way to minimize international opprobrium and maximize support (however, grudging or covert) is to strike only when there is a widespread conviction that the Iranians were given but then rejected a superb offerone so good that only a regime determined to acquire nuclear weapons and acquire them for the wrong reasons would turn it down. Under those circumstances, the United States (or Israel) could portray its operations as taken in sorrow, not anger, and at least some in the international community would conclude that the Iranians brought it on themselves by refusing a very good deal. Of course, Iran as admitted to by Brookings themselves is not governed by irrational leadership, and would not turn down a genuinely superb offer. The Brookings Institution admits openly that the US pursues a dual track foreign policy one for public consumption (making superb offers) and another aimed at ensuring Iran looks as unreasonable as possible. At one point in the policy paper, Brookings would state: The truth is that these all would be challenging cases to make. For that reason, it would be far more preferable if the United States could cite an Iranian provocation as justification for the airstrikes before launching them. Clearly, the more outrageous, the more deadly, and the more unprovoked the Iranian action, the better off the United States would be. Of course, it would be very difficult for the United States to goad Iran into such a provocation without the rest of the world recognizing this game, which would then undermine it. (One method that would have some possibility of success would be to ratchet up covert regime change efforts in the hope that Tehran would retaliate overtly, or even semi-overtly, which could then be portrayed as an unprovoked act of Iranian aggression.) Yet despite this open admission, conspiring against world peace, what is of more interest is the United States plans to disavow any responsibility for an attack it would use its regional proxy, Israel, to carry out in its place. It states specifically under a chapter titled, Allowing or Encouraging an Israeli Military Strike, that: the most salient advantage this option has over that of an American air campaign is the possibility that Israel alone would be blamed for the attack. If this proves true, then the United States might not have to deal with Iranian retaliation or the diplomatic backlash that would accompany an American military operation against Iran. It could allow Washington to have its cake (delay Irans acquisition of a nuclear weapon) and eat it, too (avoid undermining many other U.S. regional diplomatic initiatives). To no ones surprise the British Daily Mail now reports in an article titled, President Obama threatened to shoot down Israeli jets if they attacked Iranian nuclear facilities last year, claim sources, that: President Obama is alleged to have stopped an Israeli military attack against Irans nuclear facilities in 2014 by threatening to shoot down Israeli jets before they could reach their targets, according to reports to emerge from the Middle East at the weekend The threat from the U.S. forced Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to abort a planned attack on Iraq, reported Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida. Netanyahu will be in Washington for an address to Congress on Tuesday aimed squarely at derailing Obamas cherished bid for a diplomatic deal with Tehran. Here, the Daily Mail repeats a growing narrative that dovetails neatly into long-standing US foreign policy described by the Brookings Institutions report in 2009 down to the letter. In fact, the prospect of shooting down Israeli planes was discussed as one of many props used in this geopolitical theater. The US, as prescribed by Brookings, is portrayed as desperately trying to hammer out an almost unreasonably accommodation with Iran, while mad dog Israel seeks to unilaterally attack Iran thus giving the US the plausible deniability it openly claimed it would disingenuously attempt to create ahead of any Israeli attack on Iran. It should be noted that the summation of Israels military might is a result long, extensive, and continuous US military support meaning that Israeli military operation is even possible without it. It is also clear that the 2009 Which Path to Persia? policy paper still represents a vivid window into a much deeper and well-entrenched doctrine still to this day being used to reorder the Middle East into alignment with Western special interests. It is a signed confession of a now evident conspiracy against global peace and stability. It should be read, in full, before the United Nations Security Council before those who wrote it and the corporate-financier interests who sponsored it are brought to international justice. Anything less proves that the United States and its regional proxies, not Iran, are the rogue states, working against global peace and stability, with many standing examples already of their atrocities on display, and more apparently still to come. Tony Cartaluccis articles have appeared on many alternative media websites, including his own at Two different faces of evil. Iran is not fooled by their game. Unfortunately, the majority of the American public are fooled and have been hoodwinked for a long long time Sympathy for the Devil is a great song. Ill be playing it in the background while Bibi gives his speech before Congress. Please do yourself a favor and mute the box when the pig demon spews its vile disdain for the living world Lucifer is coming to rape America of its young men and women. LOL Lets see; a rabidly xenophobic, apartheid, serially ethnic cleansing, self-proclaimed theocracy with nuclear weapons, whats not to love? Iranian Jews live in peace inside Iran. The Iranians dont hate Jews, but they do not like Israeli Zionists. Anything else is propaganda for war. The Rothschild State, AKA; Israel. Imagine how deceived the sheeple will be with a state controlled internet? They already have. Feel free to look up all the videos from 2008/2009 of Obama speaking at AIPAC and proclaiming his unwavering support for Israel. Feel free to look up all the Zionist advisors who close ranks around Obama. This is all theatrics. Some of it may be to throw people off from thinking that Zionists/Israel control the USA because this is now becoming public knowledge and the propaganda techniques of labelling the truth conspiracy theory and anti-Semite have worn thin. I figured as much. All the world is a stage. This particular instance is not exceptional. There is very little truly dynamic activity in politics it is MOSTly theatrics. Funny I cant remember the last time Iran invaded another country. The truth is, there is no truth, not even in this article.. Naw,its the truth.Just not politically correct. This reminds me of three people I use to work with. They fought, argued, put each other down, yelled at each other and some people fell for their not getting along. BUT, the same three went hunting, fishing and had family get together, they were total BS. They snow job a lot of people and used it to get their way. Someone better attack something my dividend check hangs in the balance And what else to expect from the epicenter of evil, Jewmerika and her handler Israel? Obamas and Netanyahus political difference are all a front Once the lid comes off that can o truth. Where will they hide? Its all an act on the world stage. Israel will still get its billions in US taxpayer dollars every year. Not to mention all the military aid on top of that. Aggression towards the enemies of jews and Israel will continue all over the world with bogus wars and assasinations, not to mention the arming of terrorists groups, such as ISIS. Jews will still own almost all sports teams, banks, insurance companies, stores, the federal reserve, medical supply companies, etc., etc.. Yeah, its ALL a scam. There is no truth left in this world except in the lower/lowest levels of human society where truth and honesty is alot of times all one has to their name. Upper levels are nothing but lies and agendas. its simply the nature of the beast. There has NEVER been such a thing as a completely truthful and honest king or queen. They must lie and deceive to SOME degree in order to preserve their position. The movers and shakers behind the scenes are no different. They gauge the public opinion on current events and then tailor their agendas to accommodate for a degree of satisfaction amongst the citizenry. Like now. They know the public image of Israel is far less than flattering, so now theyre creating the illusion that there is some tension between Bibi and Obama. its ALL theater. At the end of the day Israel WILL get what it wants and Iran or whoever else WILL be attacked. Where things go from their is anyones guess, but dont buy the horsesh*! sure to be shoveled at you through the MSM that either Israel acted unilaterally or that it was provoked, because NEITHER would be true. There has NEVER been such a thing as a completely truthful and honest king or queen. 
1	Following reports that J.J. Abrams will be directing the forthcoming Star Wars: Episode VII, sources confirmed today that millions of actual human beings are experiencing genuine psychological and physiological responses to the news. Evidence suggests that there are currently multiple people existing in the world who are compelled, for some reason, to think and even speak to others about this subject, as though it were some sort of biological imperative, said NYU sociology professor Dr. Herbert Winslow, who went on to explain that several of these humans are even displaying visible signs of demonstrable emotions such as anger, joy, and disappointment over the Star Trek directors involvement in the film series. We can also safely assume that this very same subsection of humans is, at this moment, feeling a more tangible connection to news related to this film series than they ever have about such subjects as the economy, international strife and poverty, or even their own friends and family. Winslow went on to confirm the existence of several human beings even willing to read actual blocks of text such as this discussing J.J. Abrams and Star Wars. 
2	Hillary Clinton Silent After This Video Gets Out Democratic candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has had some questionable relationships, but this one is just outrageous. According to recent footage, Hillary Clinton was spotted chumming it up with famous race-baiter Al Sharpton. The two were filmed as the pair was joking aroundas if they had been friends for years. You better watch her, Sharpton comments in the video, turning toward Hillary. Shes trying to ask whether Im endorsing; I told her you know and youre not telling. My lips are sealed, she comments back, mimicking Sharpton. Sharpton has also been spotted with Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. Annie Karni (@anniekarni) February 16, 2016 
2	TV Land Bans Dukes Of Hazzard Forever For THIS Unthinkable Reason According to recent reports, Warner Bros. just announced that it plans to stop the production of all General Lee merchandise, the iconic car from The Dukes of Hazzard featuring the Confederate flag. The decision will affect sales at major retailers like Walmart and Amazon. We have elected to cease the licensing of these product categories, a Warner Bros. Consumer Products spokesperson announced, following the shooting in Charleston. Although the ban affects merchandise immediately, the original General Lee, a 1969 Dodge charger, can be see on TV Land until Tuesday. Entertainment Weekly Wednesday has also decided to pull reruns of the series from its schedule, although they have neglected to comment on why. Activists and politicians are vilifying southern culture and our heritage as being bigoted and racist, Ben Jones, the actor who play Cooter on the show commented. We know that this is not the case. And we know that in Hazzard county there was never any racism. What do you think of the decision to ban the show? Is this borderline censorship? 
1	Thousands were left stranded at airports nationwide Tuesday, when the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all commercial flights due to the harsh, discordant squawks emitted by a nearby crow. 'We apologize to all passengers affected by the cancellations, but he sounds really close,' acting FAA administrator Robert Sturgell said at a press conference, adding that the nation's airport security officials have determined that the crow is in either a tree somewhere close by or possibly on a roof. 'Flights across the Eastern Seaboard will resume just as soon as we can shoo it away.' In the wake of these recent air traffic delays, President Obama has earmarked $3 billion from the bailout budget to finance the construction of a national scarecrow. 
2	This State Forces Welfare Recipients To Work And Then Something Amazing Happens According to recent reports, Republican Governor Paul LePage of Maine is taking some serious action when it comes to welfare abuse. At the end of last year, LePage set the controversial requirement that non-disabled residents receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits be required to work at least twenty hours per week. Benefit receivers can also volunteer or attend vocational training to fulfill the requirement. Since the plan was implemented, the number of non-disabled residents receiving the benefits has dropped from 12,000 to 2,680. That means that the remaining 9,000 were either able to support themselves, or were unwilling to work to receive the benefits. Still, some fear that the requirements will simply move abusers to a more welfare-friendly state, like Missouri for instance. Missouri was recently ranked the worst state in the nation for welfare reform. What do you think? Do you support Maines decision to implement protective measures and require able-bodied recipients to work? 
3	Will The Wealthy Race To Dump Stocks And Other Financial Assets Before The Fiscal Cliff Kicks In?Michael Snyder, Contributor Of course it is still possible that Congress may reach a bargain which would avoid these tax increases, but with each passing day that appears to be increasingly unlikely especially regarding the tax increases on the wealthy. Whatever you may believe about this politically, the truth is that we should all be able to agree that these looming tax increases provide an incentive for wealthy people to sell off financial assets now rather than later. After all, there are very few people out there that would actually prefer to pay higher taxes on purpose. If the race to dump financial assets becomes a landslide, could this push stocks down significantly late in the year? Already there are all sorts of technical signs that indicate that stocks are ready for a correction at the very least. For example, the SP 500 has already closed below its 200 day moving average for several days in a row. Could the sell off that has already begun become a race for the exits? A lot of Americans have heard about the looming fiscal cliff, but most dont really understand the specifics. For investors, there are several key changes which will happen unless Congress does something by January 1st. For dividends, the outlook is even more frightening. The tax rate on dividends will increase from 15 percent right now to over 43 percent for the highest income earners. We have already seen these tax increases play into business decisions that have been made in recent months. For example, it is being reported that George Lucas potentially saved hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes by selling Star Wars to Disney this year rather than next year. Anyone out there that wants to take advantage of the current tax rates on capital gains and dividend income better do so now, because these tax rates look like they are going to go away and they probably will not be back for a very, very long time. According to CNBC, this makes the next couple of months an ideal time to dump stocks and other financial assets For many of the wealthy, 2012 is becoming a good year to sell. Theyre worried about the fiscal cliff, which is when tax cuts expire and spending cuts are set to go into effect at the end of the year. Fearing an increase in capital gains and dividend taxes, many of the rich are unloading stocks, businesses and homes before the end of the year. And the truth is that stocks simply did not have much higher that they could possibly go anyway. Anyone that is trying to get out while the getting is good should take heed of what Marc Faber recently told CNBC The market is going down because corporate profits will begin to disappoint, the global economy will hardly grow next year or even contract, and that is the reason why stocks, from the highs of September of 1,470 on the SP, will drop at least 20 percent, in my view. In fact, Faber is absolutely convinced that a full-blown stock market crash is coming no matter what happens with the fiscal cliff I think the whole global financial system will have to be reset and it wont be reset by central bankers but by imploding markets either the currency [markets, debt market or stock markets, he said. It will happen it will happen one day and then well be lucky if we still have 50 percent of the asset values that we have today. Politics and economics have always been deeply intertwined. The results of the most recent election are going to have some very deep consequences. Already we have seen a large number of businesses either announce layoffs, or that hours for their workers will be cut back. You can find a bunch of tweets from small business owners talking about how they wont be hiring anyone or that they will be forced to reduce hours right here. You can find a bunch of tweets from average citizens all over the country talking about how their hours are already being cut back right here. With each passing day, our country is getting poorer, it is getting even deeper in debt and our economy is becoming even more unstable. We are on a path that will only lead to total economic disaster, but the American people just voted for more of the same. So now we will get to see how this all plays out. Is there anyone out there that is still optimistic about what is coming next for the U.S. economy? This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse.

2	Russia Sends Worlds Largest Submarine With 200 Nukes To... According to recent reports, the worlds largest submarine, Dmitri Donskoy (TK-208) has just been launched toward the Syrian coast. The sub is equipped with 20 Bulava (NATO-cod SS-N-30) intercontinental ballistic missiles. It also contains an estimated 200 nuclear warheads, each with a reported range of 10,000 km. The launch was part of President Vladmir Putins introduction of nuclear force against Syrian shores. US Secretary of State John Kerry has expressed concern over reports of Russias increasing military build-up in Syria. Comments made during a call to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov show that the Obama administration is uneasy with the action. The Secretary made clear that if such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, the State Department reported. 
2	Sarah Palin Just Revealed How Katie Couric Will Lose 12 Million For Smearing Gun Owners News anchor Katie Couric outraged Americans everywhere when she released a misleading documentary in the name of gun control. Its clear the documentary was nothing but a smear campaign against gun owners and gun rights advocates. Now, former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is taking a stand against the nonsense weve seen going on for two long. She publicly applauded the fact The Virginia Citizens Defense League is suing Couric over the documentary. Couric will be down $12 million if she loses the case. Shooting back against Katie Courics deceptive presentations in a gun documentary is good news, Palin wrote. Its a shame it takes a lawsuit to force journalists to acknowledge their unethical practices, but if their clouded conscience lets them sleep at night amidst feeding the public lies, then litigation must awaken them to the publics right and expectation to read, see and hear truth. Lets be thankful the parties suing The Perky One have sharp people in their corner with the toolsand the gutsto go after those whove not been held accountable for far too long. According to reports, the lawsuit states, the defendants manipulated the footage in service of an agenda: they wanted to establish that there is no basis for opposing universal background checks by fooling viewers into believing that even a panel of pro-Second Amendment advocates could not provide one. The fictional exchange is defamatory because it holds the plaintiffs up as objects of ridicule by falsely representing that, as experts in their respective pro-Second Amendment trades, they had no basis for their opposition to universal background checks. Read Palins full post below and tell us what you think. Do you applaud her for taking a stand against this corruption? 
3	Pentagon Prepares for Invasion of Mosul to Coincide with US ElectionBy Kurt Nimmo Forget about it. Hundreds of additional U.S. troops have flowed into Iraq during the past week as American and Iraqi forces there begin final preparations to launch an invasion of Mosul this fall, Military Times reported on Thursday. The Islamic State has held the Iraqi city for over two years. It is the largest city held by the self-proclaimed caliphate. In 2012 the US Defense Intelligence Agency predicted Salafist, Muslim Brotherhood, and al-Qaeda in Iraq insurgents would establish a principality stretching from Mosul and Anbar in western Iraq to Hasaka and Der Zor in eastern Syria. Air Force Col. John Dorrian, a top spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq, declined to say what those troops are doing but said preparations are underway to potentially launch the Mosul invasion this fall. Theres a tremendous amount of work going on to set conditions, including the logistics detail that would be required in order to go after Mosul. And then we continue to hammer the enemy with strikes, including both artillery and airstrikes, Dorrian told reporters Thursday at a press briefing. The commander of the US-led operation in Iraq, Lieutenant General Stephen Townsend, told the Wall Street Journal Wednesday the assault could begin within the next month. In late August the Qayara air base south of Mosul was destroyed by retreating IS fighters. Destruction of the facility raised new doubts over whether the long-awaited operation will begin this year, Fox News reported. Iraqi army commanders stationed at the base say it will take months of reconstruction before it is ready to receive cargo planes and house the tens of thousands of troops needed for the march on Mosul. Their assessments call into question whether Iraq will be able to launch the operation this year, as the prime minister has repeatedly pledged. Turkey complicated the situation in Iraq in December when it sent a large and heavily armed contingent across the border and occupied a military camp near Mosul. There are rumors, not confirmed yet, that Turkey now uses the presence of its force to blackmail the Iraqi government. Turkey, it is said, wants agreement from Baghdad for a gas pipeline from Qatar through Iraq to Turkey, the Moon of Alabama blog noted at the time. A large-scale offensive with US troops in October or later appears timed to coincide with the US election. A sequential debate on defense and military affairs staged earlier this week positioned Clinton and Trump as competing hawks on defense and national security. Donald Trump has positioned himself as a Reaganesque proponent of a significantly expanded military. Bloomberg reported: If elected, Trump would ask Congress to lift military spending caps, increase defense spending, and seek a plan from generals to counter Islamic State in his first 30 days in office, he said in a speech Wednesday in Philadelphia. Trump also said he would increase the size of the army to about 540,000, the Marine Corps to 36 battalions, the navy to a number of surface ships and submarines approaching 350, and the Air Force to at least 1,200 fighter aircraft. () Trumps campaign, in a fact sheet distributed before the speech, credited the conservative Heritage Foundation, the army chief of staff, and the National Defense Panel as recommending some of the proposals hes espousing. The Heritage Foundation advocates liberating Mosul from the Islamic State. Liberating Mosul from the clutches of ISIS is not the end of the story. ISIS will still have a base on which to fall back in Syria, write Luke Coffey and James Phillips for the Foundation.

1	According to local man Peter McCarthy, an endearing behavior that once helped him nurture companionship and intimacy with ex-girlfriend Kara Banachek is currently allowing him to do the same with new girlfriend Alyssa Michals. 'Kara used to love it when I made funny faces and tried to get her to laugh when she was talking on the phone, and it turns out Alyssa gets a kick out of that too,' the 29-year-old said Wednesday, acknowledging he has also taken advantage of the fresh audience to recycle such tried-and-true practices as stroking back the hair from Michals' forehead before kissing her and nuzzling the back of her neck as the two drift off to sleep. 'I do feel kind of guilty about it, and, yeah, they'd probably both be pissed if they found out, but realistically that's not ever going to happen, so who's it hurting?' McCarthy said he was still feeling out the use of his old pet name for Banachek'Kare Bear'on Michals and was prepared to 'go back to the drawing board' should his new girlfriend grow suspicious. 
3	The Best Vaccine Information VideoBy Catherine J. Frompovich My last book Vaccination Voodoo, What YOU Dont Know About Vaccines, available on Amazon.com details many of the toxins in vaccines, from published peer review journals which everyone wants to ignore in favor of Big Pharma paid-for-and-produced, sham journal articles stating vaccines are safesomething thats really never been proven. Every vaccine package insert boldly states the vaccine has not been tested for carcinogenicity, the ability to produce birth defects or infertility/causing sterility. Vaccine statistics are staggeringly overwhelming! And the medical profession keeps pushing for more vaccines! Why? Big Pharma research grants? Big Pharma perks? Big Pharma? After all, Big Pharma is nothing than a conglomerate industry of chemical companies, if consumers dont realize that. Vaccines and all pharmaceuticals are made from chemicalsthe keys to proprietary patentsincluding many with genetically modified organisms, neurotoxic metals, plus there is some speculation that nagalase [1,2] even may be a vaccine ingredient. Nagalase just could be one of the reasons for so many chronic health problems in vaccinated individuals. I highly recommend that the U.S. Congress investigates ASAP, if not sooner, whether nagalase is an ingredient in vaccines. Furthermore, I hope we dont have to wait 50 years or so to find out, as we did about the cancer-causing virus SV40 that actually was in polio vaccines given to about 98 million Americans [3]. Do you remember the projection for Autism in the very near future, as given in the above video? Its about time the real facts about vaccines become mainstreamed.

I guess your computer doesnt have a volume button The problem with the dramatic music is forwarding to other parties. The video was great. Dont try to kill the messenger, the message is too important. There is a lot of important factual information packed into the video that passes by very quickly. Its important to absorb the facts. When I watched the video, I paused it and took my time to read each statistic. The fact that thousands of people are being hurt and killed each year by the drug companies, and increasing every year, is more important than the music in the video. Carson is a Hoover Institute grad institute supported by Big Pharma and Rockefeller! I can really see either a medical false flag happening shortly after hes sworn in, or an outbreak of another common childhood disease that the MSM will again blow out of proportion. Then it will be divide et impera once again. Good observation! I liked Carson until I saw him say that he was for mandatory vaccines. I e-mailed him and Rand Paul, who hasnt said that he agrees with mandatory vaccines, but showed a photo of himself getting vaccinated and thinks vaccines are good like a lot of brainwashed doctors, he sent me an e-mail back parroting the propaganda that vaccines help millions of people. Ben Carson didnt reply at all. I think we all need to realize that most politicians are owned by corporations. They dont serve us. You should email Rand back asking how many have vaccines have killed and maimed, and if there is a number of vaccine deaths that hes comfortable with. As a matter of fact I sent him a pretty long e-mail documenting how vaccines are hurting and killing people. He didnt respond this time. Im thinking of contacting Ron Paul. I dont believe he supports mandatory vaccines. I wish all doctors were like yours. It would bring big pharma to its knees. Our doctor is from India. We live near Bakersfield, CA. and most of the doctors in Bakersfield are from India for some reason. I think theyre not as indoctrinated by the US medical schools that are controlled by the pharmaceutical companies. we have already seen they were on their knees, but the USA government came to their rescue, and now they are so well insulated, bringing them down is a tall order. The mandatory vaccination CRAZE is a troubling new strategy that smacks of more government involvement. Its the old strategy of divide and conquer. What works for them (that theyve capitalized on) is the fact that damage doesnt appear to occur to everyone directly as a result of a vaccine. Therefore they use to media to call us crazy and use the same mantra of safe and effective. I lost count for how many pro-vaxxers that I put down called me a lunatic. More than that. They control what the injuries are called and how they are described. How many new and rare conditions do we hear about? What are we told causes anorexia (wanting to be a model) when its linked to numerous vaccines. The NVICP defines what is or isnt an injury. So out goes autism, SIDS, death etc and in stays the rare and mild adverse events. And we have the COINCIDENCE explanation when they cant find another lie or label to cover up the carnage. A truly pregnant idea, gcmaf, especially from infants who were vaccinated at least 5 days prior to the blood draw, or an adult whos been vaccinated for flu 5 days prior, or a teen whos received an HPV vaccine 5 days before. Thanks for your excellent idea! Heres an online source about nagalase testing for anyone interested, and I suggest asking if the clinic would be interested in gcmafs idea. http://www.renointegrativemedicalcenter.com/nagalase-blood-test A licensed physician, Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) with 30 or so years of experience, who supports mandatory vaccination, simply refuses to believe the documented history of vaccination fraud. Which, is a conscious act of stupidity. Such a person supports the pharmacy and medical industry that has created the fraud. Such a person would follow the politically correct flow, similar to current, untrustworthy politicians in office. I would never vote for such a candidate. Vaccines kill the weak. This is similar to ancient Greek children left to die, so that only The best video on Vaccine depopulation agenda w/ RFID chips included as a bonus gift.

3	What Are the Similarities and Differences Between Lead in Flints Water and Mercury and Aluminum in Vaccines?By Catherine J. Frompovich Lead is condemned by science and medicine; whereas ethylmercury and aluminum are promoted and used in medicine with apparent recklessness. Science has been prostituted when it comes to mercury and aluminum in vaccines. Flint, Michigans water crisis has grown legs to the point where criminal charges are being filed. Those charges result from a period of about only two years of Flints residents being poisoned by lead in their municipal water supply. Vaccines, which have contained ethylmercury in the form of Thimerosal and aluminum in as many as four formulationsall being neurotoxinsfor decades, undoubtedly causing adverse health reactions, especially since the CDCs VAERS reporting system contains hundreds of thousands of adverse reports, plus the U.S. Court of Federal Claims has paid out in excess of $3.3 BILLION [1] to date for vaccine damages. Why, if vaccines are supposed to be safe? On page 5 of http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/data/statisticsreport.pdf we see that 1,191 death claims have been filed, which are included in the grand total of 16,878 claims filed as of the reporting date. Those claims represent the years 1988 to 2016! Thats a heck of a lot longer than two years, Id say. Furthermore, on page 5 we see that more than 30 vaccines are involved with having been the source of harm to innocent infants [2], toddlers, teens, and adults. However, in Flint it was only one commodity: water, which everyone used. Just about everyone at every level of society is incensed about Flints water crimes, but hardly anyone is concerned about all those who are and have been damaged by vaccinesglobally too. What is it that Im not getting about human compassion or everyone does not understand a serious public health problem apparently resulting from fraud and deceit within the U.S. CDC, its scientists, and tobacco pseudoscience? As far back as the Simpsonwood Meeting the CDC held in June of 2000, we find: After the Simpsonwood gathering, the CDC also instructed the Institute of Medicine (IOM), i.e., the National Academy of Sciences, to produce a new study with contrived results: no correlation between thimerosal and brain disorders. According to Dr. Marie McCormick, who chaired the IOMs Immunization Safety Review Committee in January 2001, the CDC wants us to declare, well, that these things are pretty safe. In fact, we are not ever going to come down that [autism] is a true side effect of thimerosal. In transcripts of the meeting, the committees chief staffer, Kathleen Stratton, predicted that the IOM would conclude that the evidence was inadequate to accept or reject a causal relation between thimerosal and autism. Apparently, that was what Walt wantsa reference to Dr. Walter Orenstein, director of the CDCs National Immunization Program. [3] Flint city employees are being prosecutedand rightfully so, but no one at the CDC, or elsewhere in federal health agencies, is being prosecuted, or even reprimanded, for deliberately concealing from publication and destroying incriminating research connecting vaccines with autism in young black boys, as documented by the CDCs study lead epidemiologist William Thompson, PhD. [4] Something is terribly wrong with ethics, medicine, law, and, in particular, federal government alphabet health agencies like HHS, CDC, and FDA for not jumping all over the fraud that has been committed by government employees and government scientists. How about Congress, which has oversight? Nada, nothing, zilch! Why do the media ignore vaccine damage when theyre all over the Flint water damage? Wheres the outrage about that? Whats being protected at all costs? Is it the consensus-science thats been sacrificing innocent infants, toddlers, and teens lives to Big Pharmas poisoned needles? If society isnt allowing city government employees [5] to get away with the Flint water caper, why are we allowing federal government agencies to get away with fraudulent science and even deathsdue to vaccines?

As for aluminum salts, which increase the immune response, many common foods you eat every day contain higher levels of aluminum, including processed cheese, salt, baking powder (used in pastries, etc_, hot cocoa, flour tortillas, .dipping batter, donuts, pickles, and many more. High levels of aluminum is not safe but vaccines, unlike common foods, are not used everyday. Demand safe vaccines free of mercury (flu vaccine is the only one for children; so ask for single dose or flu mist), and educate yourself on the much higher levels of aluminum you consume every day! Heres a good place to start: http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Safety/chemical/brain-damaging_aluminum_salts_0904111150.html The aluminium in our food is barely absorbed but a vaccine is 100% absorbed and 50 vaccines are 100% absorbed and a baby is ten times smaller than an adult so we x by a factor of 100 for absorption then a factor of 50 as per NO. then a factor of 10 for size = 50,000 times greater.. Compared with injecting 1 mg into a baby 50 times then this 1 mg would be the equivalent of the adult eating 50 grams of aluminium. Mercury is still in vaccines added secretly as part of the other ingredients and it X toxicity 1000 times The resident troll , Dale Rough loses again. n-word, you cannot win an argument by making unsupported claims. Clearly, aluminum in food is absorbed. It is estimated that the normal person takes in between 3 and 10 milligrams of aluminum per day. Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element produced by the earth. It can be absorbed into the body through the digestive tract, the lungs and the skin, and is also absorbed by and accumulates in the bodies tissues. Aluminum is found naturally in our air, water and soil. It is also used in the process of making cooking pots and pans, utensils and foil. Other items such as over the counter pain killers, anti-inflammatory products, and douche preparations can also contain aluminum. Aluminum is also an additive in most baking powders, is used in food processing, and is present in antiperspirants, toothpaste, dental amalgams, bleached flour, grated cheese, table salt, and beer, (especially bellaonline Typical vaccine doses are 125 and 250 mcg. So a 250mcg dose would have 0.05 mg. It would take 55,000 such doses in a year to equal the dose in one vaccine. And given that the rate of absorption is far less in digestion, it is still clear that we absorb far more aluminum through our food than through vaccines. It can be absorbed into the body through the digestive tract, the lungs and the skin, and is also absorbed by and accumulates in the bodies tissues. It can be absorbed by the kidneys, brain, and intestines. I dismiss you claims as lacking any evidence. My sources for my claims are principally bellaonline and wikidpedia. The claim that mercury is secretly: added to vaccines is belied by the fact that it is noted in flue multi-doses. You have no evidence for this claim, so it can be dismissed as bullshit. Vaccines have saved millions of lives and continue to do so. Areas without vaccine programs (as in Central Africa) still have hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths each year. Average human aluminium intake is 4 to 5 milligrams of which only .06% to 0.1 % is absorbed which is minute . The baby is a 10th of the size of an adult x 10 THEREFORE INJECTING ON THE US INFANT VACCINE SCHEDULE IS WORSE BY A FACTOR OF 50 X 1000 X 10 = 500,000 TIMES MORE TOXIC Vaccines have saved no lives and the polio vaccine has paralysed and killed 100s of thousands in africa and india . The unnecessary deaths are unfortunate but will NOT be stopped by vaccinations MERCURY STILL THERE DONT BELIEVE THE HEALTH ROBBING VACCINATORS . TRACE AMOUNTS WEBSITE : Astoundingly, the total level of mercury exposure, if a child receives all the possible CDC-recommended vaccinations that are still Thimerosal preserved, from 6 months to 18 years of age, has actually increased. Significantly, if you put the amount of mercury added to the immunization schedule as a result of the CDC-recommended seasonal and (in 2009) H1N1 flu shots** on one side of a scale, and the amount of mercury that was subtracted from that schedule by reformulating early childhood vaccines without Thimerosal on the other side, the total amount of mercury added far outweighs the amount of mercury subtracted. In addition, today most tetanus shots and the multi-dose Sanofi Menomune vaccine that are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) still contain 25-micrograms-a-dose mercury. Currently, the actions taken by the vaccine manufacturers, the FDA and the CDC have increased the possible maximum childhood exposure to mercury from vaccines to twice the level that triggered the 1999 call to remove mercury from all vaccines as soon as possible! Also, new vaccine formulations with 25 micrograms of mercury per 0.5-mL dose are still being approved by the FDA for administration to pregnant women and children. Average human aluminium intake is 4 to 5 milligrams of which only .06% to 0.1 % is absorbed which is minute . So the daily intake is about the same as a vaccination. Multiply that intake by 365 days and you get a huge dose in a year, much more than thru vaccines. Claiming the vaccine intake is 500,000 times more toxic is not true tho you have yelled it Nor is it true that all the aluminum goes to the braindrsears.com reports BTW, paid trolls are taught to call those who challenge their claims obedient shillls for your masters. Vaccines have saved no lives. The fact is, regions that once had hundreds of thousands of deaths from measles, etc now have none or few. When I was young, my father had polio, a classmate had polio. It was common. Today it is all but eliminated in the US. Vaccines with mercury are not safe, but the fact is vaccines have saved millions of lives whether you believe it or not. SO DALE DOES NOT DO ARITHMETIC This is less aluminium than in one vaccination . But you have to realise that the 5 mg is an adult . You get these cliched fake figures from vaccine propaganda Vaccines They disguise the killing mercury with the name: Thimerasol this allows them to get away with it which the fda gladly (blindly) allows.

2	BREAKING: House Makes MAJOR Move To Impeach Obama Recently, the House voted to block as spending on President Barack Obamas executive amnesty grant. The 236-191 vote was part of the spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security, and funding will run out at the end of February. The House also attached several amendments to the $40 billion bill, designed to block the executive action preventing deportation. It also addresses the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. This executive overreach is an affront to the rule of law and to the Constitution itself, claims House speaker John Boehner. In fact, Republicans admitted that their votes in favor of the bill had a lot to do with the unconstitutional executive overreach. What do you think? Will the bill shut down Obamas efforts once and for all?

3	Australian Government Begins Testing Three-Year-Old Children for Mental IllnessAndrew Puhanic, Contributor The Australian Federal Government claims that the aim of the program is to improve the health and well-being of Australian children by identifying lifestyle risk factors that three-year-old children may be exposed to (for example, sleeping with the light on, having temper tantrums and being shy). The healthy kids check program is expected to start July 1 2012 and will be predominantly managed by local General Practitioners who will be expected to report their findings to the Federal Government upon completion of an assessment form. This test will form part of a standardised evaluation program for developmental problems such as hearing, vision and speech impairments. The Australian government expects that 27,000 3-year-old children will be assessed for mental illness within the first few months. However, the Federal government is not only ordering general practitioners to look out for three-year-old children who are suffering from shyness, temper tensions and sleeping with the light on, they have also been instructed by the Federal Government to look out for the following unusual behaviours by three-year-old children: Many experts have warned that by introducing such intrusive checks at such an early age, doctors and general practitioners who are well-intentioned, will most likely end up prescribing antipsychotic medicines to 3-year-old children who are not technically suffering from any formal mental illness, but are simply showing signs of normal behaviour. To put this initiative in perspective, lets examine my own circumstance. I myself am a father of two (one and three-year old children). My one-year-old sleeps all night, eats most of what we give him and will sometimes get cranky. Should I be worried? My three-year-old on the other hand doesnt always sleep all night, likes to eat baked beans on toast and not always eats a variety as described by the checklist and sometimes gets very cranky when she doesnt get what she wants. Should I be worried about my three-year old daughter? This initiative instigated by the Australian Federal government will lead to the over-prescription of drugs to children. However, the problem is not only localised in Australia, but is one that has the potential to affect all children around the world. In a study released by Medco Health Solutions Inc in the United States, it was revealed that over 25% of children and teens are taking some sort of prescription medication. Many of the prescription medicines identified in the study were statins, ADHD pills, antipsychotics, and sleeping pills. All of which have been shown to cause considerable harm. The continuous encroachment of Federal Government Agencies into the lives of our children is alarming. In this example, testing three-year-old children for mental illness is not only unethical, it is wrong and immoral. The mental well-being of children cannot be improved or modified by intervention from the Federal government and will only further exacerbate the difficulties both parents and society have in combating the globalist agenda and the continuous assaults on our freedoms and liberties from Governments around the world.

1	This week, the United States Supreme Court heard arguments in a pair of cases whose outcomes will have a profound impact on homosexual rights in this country for years to come. These momentous judicial proceedings have inspired a flurry of conversation among the American people, all of whomwhatever their stancehave contributed with candor and sincerity to that process of open dialogue that is so fundamental to the democratic principles on which our society rests. However, while the debate rages onin our homes, in our places of business, and even within the pages of The selfnews itselfone voice has remained continually silent: that of film and television actor Eric Bana, who for years now has refused to make his views known in this most crucial of discussions. Despite the range of voices calling on him to do so, Mr. Banasteadfastly and maddeninglyhas as yet refused to air his beliefs on same-sex marriage, opting instead to remain out of sight while the rest of the world tries in vain to coax some kind of response, any kind of response, out of him. What have you to smile about, Mr. Bana? What indeed. Such reticence, while perhaps convenient for Mr. Bana, cannot be allowed to continue. And so, as it has so many times before, The selfnews today says to you, Eric Bana: The time has come to at last end your protracted silence on the issue of gay marriage. Make your voice heard, and do so now. Or are you too big of a coward? This is the 23rd strongly worded editorial The selfnews has addressed to Eric Bana in the last three years, and yet he has ignored us time and again. This isnt one of your movies, Mr. Bana. You cannot simply call cut and retreat into the cushy confines of your trailer until its time for you to smile for the cameras again. No, sir. Perhaps you believe that, as a celebrity, you have no obligation to participate in this conversation. Perhaps you have been too busy with your work on the upcoming film By Virtue Fall to take the meager amount of time necessary to air your opinions on gay marriage and finally put the matter to rest. Or perhaps you are merely spineless. Whatever the excuse, it is insufficient. You resemble nothing so much as a monster, Mr. Bana. Click to enlarge It is possible that Mr. Bana believes this contentious debate will somehow resolve itself without his input. We are here to assure him that it will not. In fact, as he is doubtlessly aware, millions of Americans are right now persistently monitoring his Twitter feed, deluging him with letters and emails, and stopping the Munich star in the street askingnay, demandingthat he choose a side. Right now, Mr. Bana, tell us: Should same-sex marriages be recognized by the federal government? Should homosexual partners receive the same taxation benefits conferred on straight couples? These questionsand many others affecting the LGBT community and society as a wholeare of pressing importance, and they demand your immediate and complete answer. It is an issue that will not blow over simply because you wish it to. And once Mr. Bana at last breaks his silence on the topic of gay marriage, there are other matters that demand his attention. Is affirmative action an effective and fair means of stemming institutional discrimination? Should Bradley Manning and others who make classified information public be subject to accusations of treason? Does the America Invents Act, with its controversial transition to a first-to-file patenting system, weaken the intellectual property rights of smaller inventors? On these and countless other matters, Eric Bana must express his views, and express them without equivocation. It is said that the measure of a man lies in the courage to stand by his convictions, whatever they may be. So, we ask you, Mr. Bana, what are your convictions? Do you have the strength to reveal them? Or would you prefer to remain cowering in the shadows while the rest of us continue to marvel at your unbelievable timidity? Rest assured that should you continue on this course of inaction, our contempt will be the least of your worries. Mark our words, we will drag you, kicking and screaming, into the light. You cannot hide from us. The time for silence is over. The time for action is now. The selfnews, and the whole world, is waiting, Eric Bana. Its your move now. You fuck. 
1	According to an FBI report released Monday, 'reliable and substantive evidence' exists indicating that Muslims residing in the U.S. are involved in a widespread plot to develop nuclear families. Achieving Nuclear-Family Capability 'We possess what we believe to be credible proof that thousands of Islamic Americans, many of them Mideast-born, are attempting to acquire nuclear-family capability, often in full view of American law-enforcement authorities,' said FBI director Robert Mueller, speaking before the Senate Intelligence Committee. 'These nuclear families, which consist of a husband-wife core and a varied number of surrounding offspring, could potentially come into contact with other such nuclear families, creating a terrifying chain reaction of Muslim familial perpetuation.' Census Bureau statistics show that the Muslim population of the U.S. has increased dramatically in recent years. Mueller attributed much of this growth to the proliferation of nuclear families. 'Communities as diverse and far-flung as Newark, NJ, and Tulsa, OK, are being converted into breeder reactors in which Muslim nuclear families can be easily and cheaply produced,' Mueller said. 'Single Muslims who do not have nuclear families of their own are attracted by these favorable conditions.' According to Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge, unwed Muslims are crucial to the creation of nuclear families. Such individuals, Ridge said, strive to acquire certain critical materials in order to make such creation possible. 'Acquisition of wealth, education, employment, and status is key to establishing nuclear-family capability,' Ridge said. 'Surveillance of Muslim communities by the FBI reveals that these activities are taking place nationwide.' Quoting from the FBI report, Ridge cited the example of an unnamed Egyptian-born 24-year-old male who settled in the Bronx in 1995. Working days at a gas station owned by an uncle, the man attended nighttime business and English courses at a local community college. Upon graduation, he used his savings to acquire a partial stake in the gas station. It is believed that his hard-earned elevated social status was instrumental in his marriage to a young Iraqi-American woman whose own family immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1980s. Shortly after their wedding, the couple established a two-bedroom breeder reactor in Manhattan, where they produced two children, with another currently on the way. John Ashcroft 'I'd like to say that this is an isolated example,' Ridge said. 'But the reality is, this 'Manhattan project' is the sort of thing that is occurring all across the country.' Supporting Ridge's claim, Attorney General John Ashcroft said that a June 2002 search of a home owned by a Muslim couple in Royal Oak, MI, unearthed substantial evidence of nuclear-family-building activity. Materials such as a family photo album, a baby-care book, and the discarded remnants of a used home pregnancy test were found on the premises. 'Fortunately, in that case, we were able to step in and break up the childless couple before they went nuclear,' Ashcroft said. 'But how many other Muslims do we have living right here in our country trying to do the same thing?' Monty Conrad, a domestic-security expert and longtime FBI consultant, said that many seemingly reputable Muslim-owned and -operated businesses funnel their profits into nuclear-family programs. Conrad has found evidence linking the proceeds from such businesses to bank deposits, food and clothing purchases, rent and mortgage payments, and other endeavors vital to creating and maintaining a nuclear family. 'Something as innocuous as a newsstand or a hole-in-the-wall falafel restaurant can be underwriting a Muslim nuclear family,' Conrad said. 'Shockingly, in many cases, there is no attempt to conceal it. Children can be seen behind the counter, laughing and playing as their parents and other adult relatives work.' Conrad faults the U.S. government for 'willfully neglecting' the nuclear-family threat posed by Muslims living within U.S. borders. 'The government has, from the federal to local level, permitted these activities to go on right under its nose, in spite of the obvious red flags,' Conrad said. 'There are thousands of cases of marriage licenses being issued to highly suspicious Islamic couples known to harbor intentions of building nuclear families. Income-tax forms from some of these people even list dependents. All this is clear proof that Islamic nuclear families exist in the U.S., yet nothing is done about it. Why?' No laws currently exist to fight the proliferation of Muslim nuclear families within the U.S. That gives such Muslims as Abdul Rahman, newly naturalized citizen and Houston resident, a virtual blank check to build a nuclear family. 'I love America,' Rahman said. 'There is so much more opportunity here than in Syria, and that is why I came to stay. I definitely want to build a new life here and raise a family, and so do my friends.' 
2	Man Gets 10th DUI Gets Sentenced To 15 Years In Prison According to recent reports, a 62-year-old north Texas man just received a serious prison sentence following his 10th DWI conviction. Ivy Ray Eberhardt from Weatherford Texas, was convicted for the 10th time for driving while intoxicated. This time, the judge on his case is making sure that there will not be an eleventh. Eberhardt was just sentenced to life in prison with a chance of parole after 15 years. Part of my job is to protect the citizens of Parker County, Judge Craig Towson declared. The only way that I can think of to do that from somebody that has 12 DWI arrests and 10 DWI convictions is to put you in a place that you cant drive for as long as I possibly can. Eberhardt was stopped by police in Parker County in April 2014 for driving drunk. His blood-alcohol level at the time was more than four times the legal limit of .08. But thats not allEberhardt had cut off his electronic ankle monitor that was a condition of being released from jail, and was fleeing to Colorado to escape justice in Texas. Eberhardt has a dozen DWI arrests, and has already served three separate prison terms for prior DWI convictions. What do you think? Do you support Judge Towsons decision? 
2	Obama Makes Massive Move To Destroy The U.S. Constitution According to recent reports, the Obama administration has decided to move forward with a key part of their amnesty plan in spite of U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanens injunction. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announce the extension of a work visa program allowing the spouses of some via holders to obtain working papers. Allowing the spouses of these visa holders to legally work in the United States makes perfect sense, agency head Leon Rodriquez told the Washington Post. It helps U.S. businesses keep their highly skilled workers by increasing the chances these workers will choose to stay in this country during the transition from temporary workers to permanent residents. Yet, this is a false representation of the truth, according to Representative Luis Gutierrez, who believes Obama is just planning a modified implementation of plan. The scheme would include applying the plan in 24 states that havent signed on to the Texas lawsuit resulting in the injunction. DHS is moving forward with its plan to seal large contracts with companies that will process millions of illegal immigrants as soon as possible, Judicial Watch reported. What do you think of the scheme? 
3	Canada Being Assimilated Into a U.S. Dominated North American Security PerimeterDana Gabriel This includes a common approach to border management, security and control. They are also integrating an information sharing system that would be used to track everyone crossing the U.S.-Canada border and entering or leaving the continent. Without much fanfare and seemingly little resistance, Canada is being assimilated into a U.S. dominated North American security perimeter. In May, the Conservative government highlighted the benefits of the U.S.-Canada Beyond the Border action plan which was announced back in 2011. The deal, focuses on addressing security threats at the earliest point possible and facilitating the lawful movement of people, goods, and services into Canada and the United States, and creates a long-term partnership to improve the management of our shared border. The goal is to further increase, security, economic competitiveness and prosperity through numerous measures, including reducing border wait times and improving infrastructure at key crossings to speed up legitimate trade and travel. The Beyond the Border Executive Steering Committee recently met to discuss the objectives that have already been achieved and the work that still needs to be done. Another important facet of the economic and security perimeter agreement is the Regulatory Cooperation Council action plan. A stakeholder dialogue session is planned for June 20, which will review its implementation progress and will seek further input regarding the next stage of U.S.-Canada regulatory integration. The next phase of the entry/exit initiative is set to begin at the end of this month. It will involve exchanging the biographic data collected from third-country nationals and permanent residents of Canada and the U. S. at all common ports of entry. Both countries are further merging databases and are expanding surveillance and intelligence gathering operations. In 2014, they will also start sharing biometric information at the border. This will further advance the creation of a North America security perimeter where all travellers will be tracked and traced in real time. As part of the commitment made under the Beyond the Border deal, both countries have announced the Border Infrastructure Investment Plan which was, developed to establish a mutual understanding of recent, ongoing and potential border infrastructure investments. It outlines the approach that Canada and the United States will take to coordinate plans for physical infrastructure upgrades. In June 2012, Canada reached an agreement with the State of Michigan to build a second bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. This was followed by a presidential permit issued in April of this year that officially paved the way for construction of the project. A U.S. State Department press release explained that, Consistent with the bilateral Beyond the Border Initiative, this permit contributes to ensuring that our border infrastructure supports increased competitiveness, job creation, and broad-based prosperity in the United States and Canada. It went on to say that the new bridge, will help to meet future capacity requirements in a critical travel corridor, promote cross-border trade and commerce, and advance our vital bilateral relationship with Canada. In March, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano and Canadas Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews signed a memorandum of understanding which established a truck cargo pre-inspection pilot project. The joint undertaking is another component of the Beyond the Border agreement and would shift inspections and clearances away from the actual border crossing. The first phase, will test the concept of conducting U.S. CBP primary cargo inspection in Canada, and will be implemented at the Pacific Highway crossing between Surrey, British Columbia and Blaine, Washington. The second phase, will further test how pre-inspection could enhance border efficiency and reduce wait times to facilitate legitimate trade and travel, and will be implemented at the Peace Bridge crossing between Fort Erie, Ontario and Buffalo, New York. The perimeter security deal is laying the foundation for a future U.S.-Canada binational organization that would jointly manage and control the border. The CBSA is also testing additional technology at the Morses Line, Quebec and Piney, Manitoba ports of entry. Under the remote traveller pilot project, people entering either location after regular hours of service, will be processed by a border services officer located at a remote processing centre through a two-way audio and one-way video kiosk. Cameras will be installed to provide the officer with the ability to see the traveller and the vehicle. The program which could later be expanded to other areas , is part of the Small and Remote Ports of Entry Initiative, one of the deliverables under the Beyond the Border Action Plan. NAUNEWZ pointed out that, Although a lot of this technology is already installed and being utilized in limited ways at most of the main Canada-U.S. border crossing points, these smaller border crossings are ideal testing grounds for their no borders/NAU agenda. On May 16, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper participated in question and answer session before the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The conversation centered around economic growth, foreign investment and the role of the G20 with regards to global governance. Other issues focused on Canada-U.S. relations. Harper lobbied for approval of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline which would carry oil from western Canada to the Texas gulf coast. He dismissed environmental issues associated with the project and argued that it would be a step towards North American energy independence. The Obama administration is expected to make a final decision on the pipeline sometime this year. Harper also acknowledged the Beyond the Border and the Regulatory Cooperation Council action plans. He blamed sovereignty concerns and the continued negativity surrounding NAFTA as the main obstacles to even deeper continental integration. Prime Minister Harper used his audition in front of the CFR as an opportunity to demonstrate to the U.S. political and corporate elite that he is committed to defending the interests of big business and further pushing plans for a North American Union (NAU). The Beyond the Border action plan is the most significant step forward in U.S.-Canada cooperation since NAFTA. It provides the framework for future North American integration. When fully implemented, the agreement can be expanded and updated. So far, the agenda has quietly slipped under the radar. By incrementally incorporating various pilot projects and excluding Mexico from the process, it has managed to avoid the controversy of past initiatives. The perimeter security deal is being sold as vital to improving the flow of trade and travel across the border. In order to appease U.S. fears, Canada has made numerous concessions with no guarantees that it will lessen border restrictions. As part of a North American security perimeter, Canada will always be at the mercy of any new U.S. security measures, regardless of the dangers they may pose to privacy and civil liberties.

2	BREAKING: Court Makes MASSIVE Ruling That Could Change The Entire Election According to reports, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals just appeased President Barack Obama in the most disgusting way, making the controversial decision to strike down North Carolinas 2013 voter ID law. We can only conclude that the North Carolina General Assembly enacted the challenged provisions of the law with discriminatory intent, Judge Diana Gribbon Motz wrote for the majority this week. The law initially required people who showed up to vote to show an acceptable form of photo identification, like a drivers license, a passport or a military ID. The measure also struck down same day voter registration. When the law first passed, the U.S. Justice Department, the North Carolina NAACP chapter and several voters filed a lawsuit after the law was passed, saying it discriminated against poor and minority voters in violation of the U.S. Voting Right Acts. Liberals have been against this law from the beginningprobably because it makes it more difficult for illegal immigrants (who are sure to vote Democrat) to cast a ballot.

3	Congress Will Battle Over Internet Privacy in 2013Mark M. Jaycox In 2013, Congress will tackle several billsboth good and badthat could shape Internet privacy for the next decade. Some were introduced last year, and some will be completely new. For now, heres whats ahead in the upcoming Congress: Reforming Draconian Computer Crime Law The Computer Fraud and Abust Act (CFAA), was one of the key laws the government used in its relentless and unjust prosecution of Aaron Swartz. Zoe Lofgren has proposed Aarons Law, which ensures that breaking a terms of service or other contractual obligation does not amount to a CFAA violation. Lofgrens reforms are a terrific start and will be introduced in Congress over the coming weeks. EFF has also proposed revisions to Lofgrens language and overall reform to the CFAA that reduces the draconian penalties and clarifies key definitions in the statute. The proposed reforms will go a long way in preventing a similar situation from happening to a freedom fighter like Aaron again. Its unclear where the language stands in the Senate, but Senators like Ron Wyden have voiced support for Lofgrens bill and should take up CFAA reform. You can take action and email your members of Congress to tell them to support reform of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act here. Update to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) Once again, the 113th Congress will try to update the archaic Electronic Communications Privacy Act. The law, which was passed in 1986, lays out procedures for when the government can obtain your private electronic messages, like email or Facebook messages, from service providers. ECPA states that the government doesnt need a warrant for emails when they are older than 180 dayseven though the Sixth Circuit held that this 180-day rule violates the Fourth Amendment. Despite the ruling, the Justice Department continues to argue that the DOJ does not have to obtain a warrant. Congress should take the lead from the courts and move the legislation forward. Restricting Government and Corporate Use of your Cell Phone GPS Info Updating ECPA is also about protecting users geolocation information, especially after the Supreme Courts decision in the GPS case, United States v. Jones. Senator Wyden and Rep. Chaffetzs GPS Act mandates that the government obtain a warrant before it seeks a users geolocation information. Currently, the government can obtain such information without a warrant or probable cause, which is something the government has done at a staggering rate. But the government isnt the only entity spying on cell phone users. Over and over, users are learning the hard way that private companies surreptitiously collect information from users mobile devices and often share that data with unknown third parties. Thats why Congressmen like Rep. Markey and Senator Franken introduced legislation last Congress that requires clear notification and disclosures when a company collects and shares user information with third parties. Both Congressmen plan to reintroduce and move the legislation forward in the 113th Congress. Cybersecurity Legislation Congressmen are also girding for another fight on Cybersecurity. Along with more warnings of an upcoming cyber-Pearl Harbor, Congressmen named cybersecurity a priority in 2013 and are planning to reintroduce a new version of an information sharing cybersecurity bill called CISPA, which as EFF described at the time, carved a giant and vague cybersecurity loophole into all US privacy laws, while also granting new powers and legal immunity to companies. The Internet community helped defeat the Cybersecurity legislation and Congress needs to craft any new bill with the utmost concern for privacy. FBI Silent About Wanting To Backdoor the Web Lastly, there are rumors that the Obama Administration will propose a new Internet surveillance law, which will expand the Communications Assistance to Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), which forces telephone companies to build a wiretap-friendly backdoors into all their technologybut not social networks and other web-based communications services. In 2005, the FBI pushed the FCC to rule that VOIP and facilities-based Internet access providers had to abide by CALEA requirements. Now they want even more power. This expansion is in spite of the fact that the FBI has yet to respond adequately to EFFs FOIA lawsuit seeking records that would justify the need to expand federal surveillance laws, given they have a myriad of ways to get such data already (Googles transparency report shows the government requests for user data is skyrocketing). The White House and the FBI have not released what is in the proposed legislation, but one report states the FBI wants to require Internet companies, like Google, Facebook, and Twitter to build the same type of backdoors for real-time government surveillance. This would not only create a huge Internet security problem, making the Internet less safe just as Congress pushes for a cybersecurity bill, but threatens basic privacy on the Web. The potential for the 113th Congress to introduce backwards bills like CISPA and CALEA is great. But Congress, and especially new members, should take note of the Internet communitys strongand successfulopposition to bills like SOPA. Its time to curry favor with everyday constituents, and not with giant corporations or overreaching law enforcement.

3	UN Creates New, More Powerful Global Environmental AgencySusanne Posel, Contributor The UN Environmental Program (UNEP) will be promoted to specialized agency with a new title, UN Environment Organization (UNEO). The UNEO will prop up the Sustainable Development division of the UN. The same agency that disseminates Agenda 21 policies to governments will be centralized into a global agency with powerful international backing. As the unscientific assertions of a global environmental crisis, vanishing biodiversity and over-population become more urgent to the UN, the insertion of international governance is being covertly added into the mix as the answer to solve all problems worldwide. Through treaties, agreements and institutions, reformation of the UN within the UN has yielded quite a response. One option is the possible transformation of UNEP into a specialized agency of the United Nations. A strengthened UNEP could enhance coherence between relevant multilateral environmental agreements, and better integrate its work with the activities of development institutions, especially the United Nations Development Program, states one recommendation. The UN is changing the status of the program to an agency to demand more funding for its initiatives, as well as to receive more power and autonomy. Specialized agencies within the UN receive these assessed contributions by member states as derived from factors such as national income and gross domestic product. The more the country can afford, the more the UN takes to fund their international directives. One way of directing funds to the UN is through the usurpation of innovative technologies for the sake of saving the planet. There is a call for development and manufacturing of greenhouse safe products; however, the allocation of funding toward research for finding a way to mitigate or even stop climate change effects seems to be left out. The business of climate change is expected to be quite lucrative for those successful at convincing authoritative bodies that these technologies must be purchased by their nation and mandated for use by their citizens. The UN will disburse a global carbon tax , redistribute the worlds wealth and install programs that will place all issues concerning humanity, poverty, the securitization of resources and education under its control and command. They will force ecological taxes to steer large amounts of money into funds designed to redesign humanity, civilization and the planet and fit them all into their mold. A carbon cap-and-trade tax system for industrial countries could yield $250 billion per year. They also want to take in investment monies to mandate new public policies, regulation and propose incentives by fundamentally restructuring public spending and leveraging private investments towards environmental and social investments, indebted industrial countries can expect to find new growth paths that support fiscal consolidation while contributing to a green economy. The US contributed $22.9 million of American taxpayer money to the UN in 2010. That accounted for 9.8% of the agencys total annual funding. US federal agencies that voluntarily gave to the UN are: The creation of a global environmental agency is championed by the European Union, who has been calling for the upgrade of UNEP for quite some time. IN 2007, Jacques Chirac called for the expansion of a massive international action to face the environmental crisis, referring to the yet realized UNEO. We are coming to realize that the entire planet is at risk, that the well-being, health, safety, and very survival of humankind hangs in the balance. We call for the transformation of the UNEP into a genuine international organization to which all countries belong, along the lines of the World Health Organization. The ideal that Chirac lead over 5 years ago is now being resurfaced and supported by 46 countries in the European Union, as well as Africa, Latin America and Asia. The US, Russia and China have declined to be part of the push for this monstrous agency that will wield enormous international power over the environment. Chirac, a man-made climate change alarmist, backed the documentation of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) when they made public a series of reports that claimed the global temperatures were exponentially rising and those drastic effects would continue for centuries. Obama has followed suit with the UN and created his own environmental organization called the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). IRENA is run like a UN agency, with members contributions based on the same criteria as the UN funds their agencies. IRENA receives American taxpayer money which makes up 22% of its current annual budget. Susanne Posel is the Chief Editor of Occupy Corporatism.

2	Trump Says Hes Going To SHUT DOWN The Government... Heres Why, Youll Love This Donald Trump has proven in his 2016 presidential campaign thus far that he is not afraid of controversy. So were not entirely surprised at his latest interview, where he claimed that he would shut down the government in September if it would strip Planned Parenthood of federal dollars. The comments were made on the Hugh Hewitt radio show, the very same day that the senate decided not to pass a bill that would defend the abortion provider. Hewitt asked trump that if the only way to get rid of Planned Parenthood money for selling off baby parts, is to shut the government down in September, would you support that? I can tell you this, I would, Trump replied. I was also in supportif the Republicans stuck together, you could have done it with Obamacare also. But the Republicans decided not to stick together. And they left a few people out there, like Sen. Ted Cruz. You know, they left a lot of the people that really went in, and wanted to do the job. And you know what, if they stuck together, they would have won that battle. I think you have to in this case also, yes. The bill was introduced by 2016 presidential hopeful Rand Paul, after videos were released of Planned Parenthood allegedly selling body parts. The bill was seven votes short of the 60 needed to pass. What do you think? Do you support Trump? 
1	Upon emerging from an advance screening of the Walt Disney Pictures film The Lone Ranger, representatives of the countrys American Indian population enthusiastically praised the action-adventure comedy Wednesday, telling reporters that they were thrilled to finally see a movie that does justice to the stirring history of the nations native peoples. At long last, we have a tale befitting the long, proud tradition of our tribespeople, said Douglas Walking Bear Akando, 94, a Potawatomi tribe elder who claimed he was moved to tears by lead actor Johnny Depps stoic, thoroughly researched portrayal of the spirit warrior Tonto in the upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer production. For all of Hollywoods failed attempts to create something that accurately recounts our glorious past while also honoring the bravery and wisdom of our ancestors, The Lone Ranger does just that. And on July 3, the American people will finally know our story. At press time, a coalition representing the nations estimated 3 million American Indians had released a statement completely forgiving the United States for its systematic butchery and subsequent confinement of their people, saying that the new Lone Ranger movie had made it all worth it. 
3	EADS and BAE Systems discuss merger to create worlds largest defense and security groupMadison Ruppert, Contributor The companies stated that certain defense activities could be ringfenced (financially separated) in accordance with agreements with governments, the United States of America in particular, due to their strategic and national security importance and due to the importance of that market [the USA] to the enlarged group. Indeed, BAE works quite closely with the U.S. government, evidenced by their work on electromagnetic weaponry with the Office of Naval Research and former BAE Systems employees working with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In response to BAE systems announcement that came after sudden share price movement in the London Stock Exchange, EADS confirmed it is in talks with BAE but cautioned that the matter is subject to the approval of the Board of EADS and there can be no certainty that these discussions will lead to a transaction, Defense Update reports. If shareholders approve, BAE Systems and EADS might give the British, French and German governments special shares in the companies in order to replace the existing UK government share in BAE Systems and the stakeholder concert party arrangements in EADS. The discussion of a merger between BAE and EADS isnt all that surprising since they already work together closely evidenced by their shared ownership of Eurofighter GmbH, the company behind the Eurofighter Typhoon, and their joint ownership of the MBDA missile development and manufacturing company. That being said, this potential merger is not in any way minor. If it happens, they would create the largest aerospace, defense and security group on Earth. They would have at their disposal major manufacturing centers in America, Britain, France, Germany and Spain. By combining they would increase their business volume to twice that of even the largest of todays defense contractors, namely, Lockheed Martin. BAE Systems and EADS operate highly secure and sensitive defense businesses in the USA, the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Saudi Arabia and Australia, amongst other countries. Discussions have therefore been initiated with a range of governments about the implications of the potential transaction, Defense Update reports. BAE Systems and EADS believe that the potential combination of their two businesses offers the prospect of significant benefits for customers and shareholders of both companies, the announcement from BAE said. These benefits include cost savings, such as from procurement and sourcing efficiencies available to the enlarged group, and substantial new business opportunities. Of course the benefit they dont mention is a near complete dominance of the entire defense industry and the ability to choke out the competition. Unfortunately, it seems that these corporations realize that there is a long future in the business of war profiteering. Unless the people of the world step up and start demanding an end to the perpetual wars well have to continue to witness the constant expansion of these megalithic corporations.

2	Obama Announces New Law That Unleashes Martial Law Onto All American Citizens According to to Mr. Conservative, Idaho lawmakers passed a law on Monday that may just open the door for shariah law.The bill will give the go-ahead to a series of federally mandated child support laws tied to an international treaty. This legislation was rejected last month, but it was passed yesterday after a section was added to it which makes the treaty unenforceable if it violates a state law. The treaty will make it easy for single parents around the world to receive child support payments. According to Conservative Tribune, this treaty must now be ratified by each individual state. Kathleen Frazier, a strong opponent of the bill, has called this an act of bribery. Bob Neugebauer, another opponent of the legislation, said the bill was not about child support, but that rather extortion by our federal government trying to engage all of our states of the union to ratify a treaty. Some are accusing Obama of making it hard for state lawmakers to not pass the bill as he seeks to enforce Shariah law in the U.S. What do you think about this? Comment in the box below. 
2	LET ME FINISH Guiliani Loses It On Mark Cuban For Backing Hillary, Watch Him Erupt In Epic Rant [VIDEO] Before the debate last Wednesday, Mark Cuban went head to head with Rudy Giuliani. The two got into a heated debate after Cuban essentially argued Hillary did nothing wrong with her emails. Were willing to bet he regrets putting that argument in front of Giuliani. Giuliani was equipped with the facts, and reminded Cuban that the FBI found Hillary to be extremely careless. Cuban just sat there with a dumb smirk on his face. Giuliani went on to argue that Hillary is not fit to be president. In fact, he argued, he wouldnt even be able to hire her to be an assistant attorney. If someone tried to work as an assistant attorney and had a past like hers, he would not be able to hire her for fear she would leak sensitive information. Cuban still pushed back, claiming none of Hillarys emails were classified, and all these materials were hard copy. Of course, thats not the case at all. Hillary didnt even know that C stood for Confidential. At one point in the exchange, Cuban tried to interrupt Giuliani. Let me finish! he yelled. What do you think? Do you applaud Giuliani for not letting Hillary get away with this?

Follow Vin on Twitter and subscribe on YouTube. Get the weekly podcast on iTunes or Stitcher. The proper framing of the pro collectivist argument is that the focus should be on what is best for us. We (us) need to find collective power as a group to offset the already collected and concentrated power of wealthy and powerful elites who care not for the individual. United we stand, divided we fall. Whether collectivism or individualism, anything not based upon Yahwehs unchanging morality as reflected in His Ten Commandments and their respective statutes and judgments, is man doing what it right in his own eyes, per Judges 21:25. Judges 21:25 is what today is commonly known as humanism, aka We the Peopleism. This is the glaring difference between the 17th-century Colonial governments of, by, and for God established upon His immutable moral law and the 18th-century founding fathers government of, by, and for the people based upon capricious man-made Enlightenment traditions.

This is their tool/excuse to take every right we have, through gargantuan security reg increases to combat the security breaches and risk they themselves created. This is ultimately to bring our republic down, making way for the NWO. U.S. citizens are of course acceptable collateral damage, but selective collateral damage. Terrorist agents are placed in small conservative areas considered as potential problems for the anti-American government. I have no knowledge of even one refugee being placed in Washington or other prominent areas around the U.S. 
1	In a bold move leaders hope will resolve the long-running conflict between the Serbs and ethnic Albanians, President Clinton deployed Marine Sgt. Brent Fitzsimmons to the 14th century Monday to assassinate Ottoman Sultan Murd I. Marine Brent Fitzsimmons, whose mission is to eliminate Ottoman Turk ruler Murd I (left). 'Regrettably, all diplomatic efforts to end this crisis have failed,' Clinton said. 'At this point, we have no choice but to send a highly trained member of the U.S. Marine Corps back in time 600 years to take out the emperor at the root of this strife.' Addressing reporters at a Pentagon press conference, Defense Secretary William Cohen said Murd I's unchecked aggression in the Balkans is to blame for much of the current situation. 'Sultan Murd's 1389 victory at the Battle of Kosovo was the start of five centuries of Ottoman Turk rule in Serbia. In 1692, Serbs gradually began migrating from the province of Kosovo, polarizing the two ethnicities. When Ottoman rule finally ended in the early 1900s, Kosovo reverted to Serbian rule based on historical claims,' Cohen said. 'If we can just prevent the Sultan from launching his late-14th-century assault on Kosovo, there's an outside chance that Serbia and Kosovo will, over the centuries, evolve into fully autonomous, peacefully co-existing regions.' Added Cohen: 'It's a long shot, but it's our best shot.' Ottoman Turk ruler Fitzsimmons, 35, a Lincoln, NE, native and decorated Gulf War veteran, said he will do everything in his power to create an alternate historical universe in which Serbs and ethnic Albanians get along. 'NATO is counting on me. My country is counting on me. The people of Kosovo are counting on me,' said Fitzsimmons, holding a flash-suppressed Heckler & Koch PSG-1 sniper rifle with night-vision scope, moments before being transported to the Ottoman Era in a top-secret U.S. military time machine. 'I will not let them down.' Despite expressing full confidence in the current mission, U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke conceded that the establishment of 'a true, lasting peace' in the Balkans may require the elimination of other individuals, as well. Among those cited by Holbrooke: Bayezid II, Suleyman The Magnificent, Osmn II, Mehmed VI, Tito, Radovan Karadzic and Slobodan Milosevic, as well as anyone else who has ever lived in the region. 
1	A clause stipulating that free agent Manny Ramirez show up to games on time and play baseball to the greatest extent of his ability became a major sticking point in contract negotiations between the left fielder and the Dodgers, Ramirez's agent Scott Boras told reporters after Ramirez finally agreed to terms Wednesday. 'We were willing to bend on the showing up part, but if they wanted my client to actually care about winning while he is up to bat, running the base paths, and fielding both fly and ground balls, well, that would have cost them at least another $17 million,' Boras said. 'If we gave in on that, then they'd have felt free to renege on the clause that allows Manny to play while wearing a bathing suit, a Kobe Bryant jersey, and sandals.' Ramirez was too entranced by the guy at Venice Beach who rides a unicycle while holding two king cobra snakes to comment. 
1	Noting his short outbursts of laughter as he charged across the house, sources confirmed Saturday that pajama-clad 5-year-old Lucas Mason made a turbulent rampage through a dinner party hosted by his parents. Mason, who reportedly hopped around the living room growling and stomping like a dinosaur in front of eight of his parents friends and coworkers, is said to have quickly circled around the coffee table several times before grabbing a handful of tortilla chips. Reports indicate that the preschooler then slipped between several of the guests, interrupting their conversation to regale them with a ranking of his favorite Transformers. Sources confirmed that the 5-year-old, who had removed his astronaut pajama top during his escapade, briefly disappeared from the social gathering, but soon returned dragging a bin full of plastic trucks, which he dumped on the floor in front of the makeshift cocktail bar and snack selection that had been set up on a buffet table. At press time, Mason had reportedly made eye contact with his parents and immediately gone into hiding under a chair in the kitchen. 
2	BREAKING: Courtroom Reaches A Verdict In The Boston Bomber Trial This Was Unexpected Yesterday the Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was sentenced to death for the speakable crime of murdering innocent people during the race in the northeast. The 21 year old terrorist did not even seem to react to the verdict. This case is the first since 9/11 era that a prosecutor was able to convict the guilty with the death penalty in a terrorism case. His final destination where he will see death row has not yet been announced. With 30 counts against him he faced either life in prison or death. After showing the bombings in the courtroom, the jury came to decide he should be sentenced to death. What do you think? Should he have served life, or is the death penalty the right decision? 
2	Jackie Evanchos Entire Life Changed Right After She Accepted To Perform At Trumps Inauguration Ever since their candidate lost the election by an electoral landslide, liberals have been throwing roadblocks in the way of Donald Trumps inauguration. Its clear they are still in denial that he will be the next President of the United States. Theyve even put pressure on entertainers not to perform at the inauguration and many have refused, fearful of career suicide. Singer Jackie Evancho was brave enough to stand up to that pressure and has agreed to perform for the president-elect. As a result of her decision, she has received some incredible news that is sure to change her career and life. After Evancho made her announcement, sales of her most recent album Someday at Christmas has quadrupled in sales. Some retail stores have noted having to restock the album twice, and it reached the #1 spot on the Billboard Classical Albums Chart this week. This is amazing news for the singer who first gained attention as the runner-up on season five of Americas Got Talent. She has now become an A-list star with a brand new following of fansall because she refused to disrespect our future president. In fact, the sixteen-year-old pop and classical singer was enthusiastic and grateful about the opportunity to perform. Im so excited. Its going to be awesome, she told USA Today. What do you think? Do you support Evancho? 
3	42% of Americans Ditch Two-Party System, Say Government is Biggest ProblemBy Claire Bernish According to a Gallup poll released Monday, for 2015, just 29% of respondents call themselves Democrats, while 26% identify as Republicans but fully 42% say nay to both parties and claim to be Independents, down only marginally from 43% last year. Indeed, Independents as a group reached 40% of the population for the first time in 2011, and have comprised at least that percentage since then. Before Gallup began polling by phone in 1988, there were several years when the average percentage of Republican identifiers was lower than 25%. But for Democrats, that self-identification reached a 27-year low, down from the previous years 30% and because data from 1951-1987 collected in person never found a yearly average Democratic identification less than 37%, it is safe to conclude that the current 29% is also the lowest in Gallup polling history. When pressed further, 16% of Independents admitted leaning Democratic and another 16% admitted a Republican tendency, evidencing the weight of the two-party system on voters feelings, as Gallup pointed out, because in most elections, voters are asked to choose a candidate from one of the two parties. What could explain this virtual nadir in party identification? Its the gubment, stupid. For the second year in a row, exasperation with the government topped the U.S. populace list of pressing grievances in a separate Gallup poll. They named the nations number one problem more often than the ubiquitous economy. In fact, of the last 15 years, the economy was the top complaint eight times including each of the six years prior to the government, itself, taking first place in 2014. With party fervor inevitably headed for a crescendo with the 2016 presidential race in full swing, perhaps the lackluster red and blue loyalty evidences the precursor to a shift. Imagine the possibilities should this silently growing majority decide to cast votes outside the two-party platform. Maybe, just maybe, these Independents have begun to see the duopoly for what it is two sides of the same tarnished coin.

If you spot a typo, email edits@theantimedia.org. The Constitution says government is the solution. The problem is not democratic government but plutocratic government, which uses the state as the instrument of transferring public funds to private pockets. We do not need to shrink government but to expand democratic government and shrink the influence of Big Money and the transnational corporations which control the political process. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over expecting different results, government has never worked, so why keep it? So you say using the internet which was developed by the government, before you drive to work on government buiilt roads, using government developed GPS, with your rights guaranteed by the Constitution, which was set up to create a central government. Government works for you everyday. If you house starts on fire, whom will you call? What doesntt work is when elites capture government and bend it to their special interests. You want to throw out the baby with the bathwater, using successful government innovations to communicate your claim that government has never worked. Do you think lack of government works? Then I urge you to move to Somalia or Afghanistan or Libya, where there is no legitimate central government and the regions are ruled by warlords, terrorists, and criminals. Do not go to the nations with the best governments and the happiest people, like Denmark. And get off the goddamned internet! It is neither the d-word party against the r-word party nor the r-word party against the d-word party. It is both the d-word party and r-word party against us having a Limited Constitutional Republic and therefor against the people. I have heard such statements for 55 years. In fact, only the Democratic Party, to which I do not belong, has a progressive faction (37% in house, Sanders in Senate) to support. War on Iraq: Repubs voted 97% for, Dems 58% for; total split on raising minimum wages, collective bargaining rights, gun and immigration law reform, Iran nuke deal, etc etc. The problem is that the Republicans are totally bought and paid for and that the centrist What we need is a democratic republic, and right now, Bernie is the only path to taking the government back from the banks, the corporations, and their paid shillls. Do you have a better path to government that serves the people? Whining about the major parties is useless unless you have a plan to do something about it. The d-word and r-word parties are two sides of the same coin. The Creator granted the right to keep and bear arms? What year did he do that. You have a dogmatic view of politics which blinds you to critical distinctions. Dogma argues from first principles (assumed) to dismiss evidence and empirical differences. We need a democratic, secular reiublic, which is what the Declaration of Independence proposes as the foundation of a new nation. The Constitution was a counter-revolution which enabled rule by the 1%. You start with assumptions an proceed to dogmatic doctrine. I start with equality and consent of the governed, the core values on which the nation was founded, which require no dogma, no doctrine but a democratic process which we do not have. You are basically a fundamentalist right winger. Sorry, I outgrew that 50 years ago. A Creator given right is people being able to live which includes being able to defend themselves. That includes being able to bear arms to defend themselves from corrupt governments. I do not accept the assumption of a Creator. The universe is. If it needs a Creator, who created he Creator. This concept collapses on the basis of its own premise, that what is requires a Creator. So that line will get us nowhere. Now if we have the right to self-defense, which I accept as part of our evolutionary heritage, guns would be part of that right IF in fact guns protected us more than they subjected to risk of death or harm. I have studied this issue seriously for 3 years and I will share with you what I have learned, all of which suggests that the best way to defend yourself is to get rid of your guns. That being the case, the right to self-defense is best realized by getting rid of the guns. 1. Among the 35 advanced nations, all others, none of which recognizes gun ownership as a right, have an 85-99% lower gun murder rate (and 80% overall murder rates). The one nation with the right to keep and bear arms has 90% more gun murders, 80% more murders). (sources: Nationamaster, Wikipoedia, and gunpolicy.org) This is overwhelming evidence that guns do not promote self-defense but cause more harm than they deter. For that reason, the right of self-defense can more effectively be defended by getting rid of the guns. 4. The two most nearly gun free zones in the world, the UK and Japan, have 99 This evidence supports the thesis that the best self-defense excludes guns and on that basis, Creator or not, gun ownership, which decreases self-defense at all levels, is not a right that can be sustained. A home without guns is nearly 3 times as safe as a home with. For that reason, gun ownership as a means of self-defense is self-defeating and cannot be defended as a natural right. I suspect your gun views are based on belief and that you will therefore dismiss this daunting evidence. I will stick with the evidence and not subject my family to the nearly 3 fold increase in risk that homes with guns impose on their family. If you reject the Creator as identified in the U.S. Declaration of Independence, then you move all rights and the people to be below the whim of the government.

1	President Clinton wowed Congress with a revised balanced-budget proposal Monday, utilizing eye-catching, easy-to-read color charts printed at Kinko's to win over Republican opponents. President Clinton impresses co-workers by using attractive, attention-grabbing color charts to clearly illustrate proposed changes to the federal budget. 'Thanks to my color highlights from Kinko's, as well as my use of their great 'large format' option, I was able to capture and hold the Senate's attention,' Clinton said, moments after the proposal was approved. 'Kinko's Color Services(TM) enhanced the effectiveness of my presentation and gave me the 'edge' over my Republican counterparts.' The proposal, prepared by Clinton on a Power Macintosh 8600 using Claris Home Office software, was professionally printed by the friendly, helpful staff of one of Washington, D.C.'s 34 conveniently located outlets using a Mita PointSource Ci-7500 Color Copier/Printer/Scanner, and collated into 535 slick, professional-looking booklets over the course of two days. While the president said he is confident that his five-year balanced-budget proposal would have been approved regardless, he said he believes the use of color really helped put him over the top. 'Studies show that color enhances learning and recall by as much as 70 percent,' Clinton said. 'And color helps sell ideas 50 to 85 percent more effectively than black and white.' 'Think about it,' Clinton added. 'What is going to sell better? A great idea by itself, or a great idea that comes in an attractive package? You'd be surprised how many legislators shortchange themselves by not going the extra mile. With all the competition on Capitol Hill these days, you've got to do everything you can to separate yourself from the pack.' Most impressive of all, say Washington insiders, were the 12 24'x36' color posterboard charts ordered by Clinton along with the booklets, clearly and attractively illustrating the finer points of the proposal. President Clinton is all smiles following an important business presentation that 'goes great,' thanks to Kinko's color services. 'President Clinton's four-color, oversized pie chart helped show members of Congress exactly where all federal budget funds would go,' said Harold Cromwell, chair of the D.C.-based American Enterprise Institute think tank. 'Perhaps more than any other president since Franklin Roosevelt, Mr. Clinton has found a new way to office.' According to the president, Kinko's 24-hour-a-day convenience also played a major role in his decision to utilize full-color displays in his proposal. 'When I made the decision at two in the morning to switch from staples to Velobind comb, I only had to call my local Kinko's Account Manager, and he was happy to make the switch,' Clinton said. 'Kinko's has the hours that I want and the document-management solutions that I need.' 'I am grateful that the people of Kinko's helped me get an edge on the competition with their full range of digital color capabilities,' Clinton said. 'What's more, they can do the same for your next important project, at home or in the office too.'

2	Gowdy Destroys Hillarys Triggerman After He Tries To Get Out Of Answering Questions [VIDEO] According to reports, Hillary hired State Department IT specialist Brian Pagliano to delete her emails using Bleachbit after people first started looking for information. Bleachbit is a program that makes it impossible to recover emails. Of course, the state department ended up giving Pagliano immunity. Some claimed it was like robbing a bank and giving immunity to the triggerman. However, Gowdy was ultimately able to use this to his advantage of Pagliano tried to get out of going to court. He attempted to plead the 5th, but was then reminded he cant plead because he cant be incriminating. Gowdy also criticized Steven Lynch for allowing Pagliano to plead the 5th, even though it is unconstitutional in this situation. It puts him in jeopardy coming before this committee while that criminal referral is in existence, Gowdy commented. Hes an American citizen. I know the Constitution gets in the way of this committee sometimes. 
1	With his lead in presidential polls narrowing to just four points over Republican challenger George W. Bush, an already anxious Al Gore wondered aloud Monday whether the latest Doonesbury is about him. A 1999 file photo of Gore reading <i>The Washington Post</i> Sunday comics page. The cartoon in question, the Sept. 25 installment of Garry Trudeau's popular, long-running satirical comic strip, depicts a silhouetted political figure that strongly resembles the vice-president. 'Do you think this is supposed to be me?' Gore asked deputy campaign manager Mark Fabiani shortly after finishing breakfast and, as is his custom, turning to the Washington Post comics page before beginning his day. 'I think it is.' An anonymous source within the Gore camp said the candidate later added, 'Because it's not a very flattering portrayal, if it is. I mean, is that what the American people think of me? They don't think I'm some kind of big dork, do they?' The controversial strip, which ran in hundreds of newspapers across the U.S., depicts an unnamed political figure engaged in a top-secret strategy session with a group of shadowy advisors. At first glance, the character, which Trudeau will neither confirm nor deny represents Gore, appears to be seeking out advice of a substantive, political nature. Upon reading the word balloon above the character's head, however, it becomes apparent that he is actually consulting his advisors on matters of fashion, showing himself to be a shallow, vain individual more concerned with his appearance than with issues that affect the American people. 'Look, I can take a joke as well as the next guy,' Gore told Fabiani. 'But if this is supposed to be me, well, I just don't think that's very nice. What's worse, millions of people read this thing every day. Can you imagine how that makes me feel? It's not exactly a confidence-builder, to say the least.' Continued Gore, 'I mean, sure, I may have hired a fashion consultant early in the campaign and tinkered with my outfits and color schemes a bit, emphasizing earth tones to soften my image. But do I really deserve to be mocked in front of the whole country like this?' According to the anonymous source, approximately 15 minutes later, Gore turned to top economic adviser Laura Tyson and said, 'I'd hate to think that all this time, while I've been trying to promote education, deficit reduction, and progressive environmental policies, the electorate was laughing at me.' Gore reportedly seemed preoccupied throughout the day, becoming easily distracted during campaign strategy sessions and bringing up the subject of the cartoon frequently. 'He kept asking everyone about it,' the source said. 'It was obvious that Trudeau really got under his skin with this one. I felt sorry for him, really.' Despite repeated assurances from top advisors that he shouldn't fret about the strip and that no one reads Doonesbury anymore, Gore continued to obsess. The <i>Doonesbury</i> in question. 'Man, I really felt sorry for him,' said Washington Post reporter David Maraniss, who has been following Gore on the campaign trail since January. 'He looked like a sad, pathetic little kid. Poor guythose cutting-edge, Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonists can be so cruel sometimes, with their barbed pens and rapier wit.' 'This thing has been a real blow to Gore's morale,' Maraniss continued. 'He was feeling a bit more confident after that Newsweek poll showed him up by 10, but now he just stays in his office obsessively re-reading the strip. He'd never openly admit it, but the feeling among staffers is that Al's self-esteem may have taken a significant hit from this lampooning.' Perhaps most devastating, according to Brill's Content editor-in-chief David Kuhn, is the fact that the cartoon comes at a time when Gore is 'really trying very hard' to impress people. 'If this cartoon is indeed about Gore, as he fears,' Kuhn said, 'it would almost appear that Trudeau deliberately chose to 'needle' Gore, so to speak, on this particularly sensitive subject. Like he was specifically picking out an area in which Gore was vulnerable to criticism in order to make fun of him or even provoke derisive laughter against him. That's kind of mean, if you think about it.' Gore supporters are hoping that the ambiguity of the strip's subject will give the vice-president the 'out' he needs to stop worrying and once again focus on the presidential race. 'Maybe it isn't about me,' Gore said. 'There are lots of other politicians out there, you know. Yeah, it's probably about one of them. Now that I look at it again, the guy does bear a pretty strong resemblance to [Arizona Sen. John] McCain.' But despite such signs that Gore may be ready to put the cartoon behind him, observers fear that the worst is yet to come. According to Trudeau spokespersons at Universal Press Syndicate, in next Sunday's Doonesbury the mystery politician will be depicted as a floating block of wood.

The clip is from a recent episode of The Five. Guilfoyle is attempting to throw a football in a dress. After success, she is so excited that she accidentally lifts her leg too high when she sits down. The result is a full up-skirt shot that was broadcast throughout the country. Liberals across the internet have been quite outspoken about the incident, many calling for more censorship on TV. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. 
1	After days of procrastination, the everyday errand of taking a small package to the post office bore down heavily upon 38-year-old Kevin Gunderson Tuesday, nearly crushing him with the weight of its tedium. The 12-ounce parcelwhich Gunderson could have simply dropped in a mailbox had he known the required postageencumbered his entire being, dragging his battered frame earthward as he stood in an endless line to return a pair of earphones to Amazon. 'I hate going to the post office,' Gunderson said while summoning the resolve to determine which delivery confirmation form he should fill out. 'It always takes forever.' Upon finally reaching his destination, Gunderson was dealt a crippling blow when he discovered new rates would require him to purchase an entire sheet of two-cent stamps in order to have the postage necessary to pay his electric bill. 
1	Calling for 'a new, more open era in British rule' and citing the need for 'a time of healing for past transgressions,' prime minister Tony Blair announced Monday that the British government will declassify and release the so-called 'unexpurgated' Benny Hill tapes, ending over 15 years of public outcry and government cover-ups concerning their scandalous content. Prime Minister Tony Blair speaks to reporters about Benny Hill's alleged videotaped improprieties. Banned by Margaret Thatcher in 1982 for being 'too cheeky' for public consumption, the controversial tapes allegedly contain over 150 hours of footage of well-known British public figure Alfred Hawthorne 'Benny' Hill engaged in a variety of 'compromising' situations, including bawdy musical numbers, saucy wordplay, and broad physical slapstick, much of it of a sexual nature. Hill, formally denounced by Thatcher and Parliament in 1983, died in 1992 when a pair of oversized inflatable novelty bloomers he was wearing exploded upon contact with a haystack. 'Only by being open and honest about our nation's past mistakes can we ensure that they do not repeat themselves in the future,' Blair, the first Labor Party member to head Britain after years of Conservative rule, told reporters at a 10 Downing Street press conference. 'Releasing these tapes is the first step on the road toward a collective national healing, toward a glorious day when the honking, staccato melody of Boots Randolph's 'Yakety Sax' no longer haunts the collective memory of our nation.' Among the 'violations of decency and good taste' captured on the now-declassified tapes: repeated use of oversized artificial prop breasts (see photo); reckless overuse of the 'Mahna-Mahna' song; high-speed dubbing of dialogue to create a 'quacking' effect; and, most seriously, the willful alteration of nearly two dozen publicly posted signs, including the changing of one reading 'Georgie's Tarts and Crumpets' to read 'Orgies, Tarts and Strumpets.' 'The kind of vandalism in which Hill regularly partakes on these tapes is positively unconscionable,' said Sir Fentwick Creighton-Thorpe of the London Commission of Registries. Particularly disgraceful, Creighton-Thorpe said, is a segment in which a sign reading 'Therapist' is manipulated to read 'The rapist.' 'Such misrepresentation,' he said, 'could severely damage the proprietor of the sign's reputation as a provider of counseling.' Benny Hill still Another highly controversial aspect of the tapes is the frequent appearance of the 'Hill's Angels,' a chorus line of scantily clad dancers whose alleged gyrations sparked a 1994 U.N. petition for full disclosure of the tapes. The dancerswhose propensity for provocative leg splits and slow, lascivious writhing near poles and ladders can be seen throughout the tapeshave long been regarded by British leaders as 'a potentially devastating source of international embarrassment.' 'The so-called 'Hill's Angels' parts of the tapes, inasmuch as the models position themselves in reproductively suggestive poses and make flagrant and suggestive eye contact with the camera, appear, in all likelihood, to have been deliberately edited into the footage with clear and demonstrable gratuitous intent,' said Archibald Binway of the London Protocol Office. 'Such open acknowledgement of the female anatomy by a British national is an unthinkable breach of the public trust.' These disturbing images were withheld for years by the British government. The tapes' release sparked celebration among the many activists who have fought to have them exposed. 'At last, the truth about Hill is revealed before the entire world,' said Sean Wright, whose near-fatal 1987 hunger strike as one of the infamous 'Benny 11' helped raise international awareness of the cover-up. 'That bastard slapped me granddad upwards of 1,500 times back in the '70s. And why? Because his short stature made him an easy target? Because his bald, shiny head, God bless it, made a humorous thwacking sound when smacked with an open palm?' Wright's grandfather, veteran stage performer Jackie Wright, has become an enduring symbol of Hill's legacy of abuse toward the elderly. But even as the facts of Hill's abuses come to light, there remain some who maintain that Hill was a victim of circumstance. Sympathizer Edwin Fripp, 42, of Leeds, contends that Hill's scandalous behavior was, in many cases, unintended. 'When Mr. Hill grabbed women's chests, it would usually be as the result of an accident: Often, he'd do so unaware of the fact that a mannequin he'd been undressing had been switched with a real woman while his back was turned,' Fripp said. 'And that time he was caught entering a women's changing room at the beach, he did not do so out of a desire to see women naked. No, it was also an accident, as the letters 'w' and 'o' on a sign labeled 'Women' were covered with a towel.' 'In each of these cases, Mr. Hill received vicious, angry slaps from outraged women, even though he did not deserve their attacks, having committed no intentional wrongdoing,' Fripp said. 'Must we continue to heap blame upon the memory of a man who has already been punished enough?' Such apologist voices, however, are clearly in the minority. 'In perhaps the most controversial portion of the tapes, the so-called 'chase' scene, there is little doubt that Hill is acting with premeditated malicious intent,' said Kyle Dunkirk, one of the leaders in the legal battle for the tapes' release. 'Lasciviously chasing a trio of nurses across a tree-lined field, Hill steps up his pursuit as the women become entangled in branches, causing them to lose progressively more and more layers of outerwear until they are clad only in brassieres, stockings, garters, and knickers. As the chase goes on, more and more people join in, including a man with one foot stuck in a bucket, a policeman covered in cake, and, eventually, even the outraged wives of the male pursuants. All the while, Hill remains relentless in his amorous pursuit, oblivious to the protests of all parties.' 'These tapes add insult to injury,' Dunkirk said, 'as fast-motion photography lends a jerky, inhuman quality to the chase participants' motions as they proceed single-file into the sunset.' Whatever the societal ramifications of the scandalous footage's release, one thing is clear: The haunting image of those fast-motion runners will remain etched in the conscience of Britain, and the world, for a long time to come.

3	9 Tips for Building an Emergency Food SupplyGaye Levy, Contributor For the food storage newbie, all of this information can be overwhelming. And for the experienced food storage maven, every new piece of advice will have you wondering whether you have done it right or whether there is a better way. To use one of my favorite laments, it can all be too much! Today I am going to do us all a favor and offer some crazy simple strategies for building an emergency food supply. Take Your Time and Go Slow If I can cite the number one reason people become overwhelmed when even thinking about putting aside an emergency food supply, it is the perceived sense of urgency that it all needs to be done right now. And this, for many, results in complacency and inaction. Dont fall in to this trap. Begin with a three-day supply and gradually build that up to a week. After that, add to your emergency food supply week by week until pretty soon, you have three months of food stored away for you and your family. Remember, it is perfectly okay to pick up only 4 or 5 extra cans of meats, fruits or vegetables during your weekly trip to the supermarket. Do what you can at a pace that your are comfortable with and ignore any message you get from others (including prepping forums and websites) to do it all at once. There is no reason to break the budget while building an emergency food supply. Before heading out to the supermarket, view the local ads and find specials that will allow you to purchase more for less. If you are so inclined, use coupons; and if allowed, shop on double coupon days. Warehouse clubs such as Costco have coupons, too, so dont overlook those booklets that are sent out monthly. Often times the savings are huge. If you do not belong to a warehouse club, perhaps you can tag along with a friend or call ahead and see if they will give you a one-day shopping pass. Dont overlook shopping at one of the many Dollar Stores or even in the back aisles of the drugstore. Bargains abound as I recently learned when I picked up a half dozen cans of DAK ham for less than $3 each. Scope Out and Optimize Your Storage Space Finding a place to store your emergency food supply can be a challenge, especially if you live in a small home or apartment. Get creative, starting with a walk around tour of you living spaces. Places often overlooked are under beds, way up high in closets where you can add another shelf, and under dressers, desks and sofas. My number one tip, though, is to go through your cupboards and closets and remove those items that are duplicates, that you rarely use, or that you do not use at all. For example, in your kitchen, how many different pots and pans do you need? My guess is that you use the same two or three over and over again. Stow away the extras in the basement or storage locker or give them away to charity. Trust me, they will not be missed. The same thing applies to seldom-used clothing, shoes and sports equipment. If you are truly serious about finding the space for your emergency food supply, you will toss those miscellaneous items that are only used once every three years in order to free up space for some additional canned or dried food items. Stick to the Basics Monitor what your family eats for a week and use that as a guideline for getting started. The advantage of doing this is that you will learn what your family likes so that you can shop accordingly. You would be surprised at how many people cant remember what they ate yesterday let alone a week ago. Try to write everything down so that you dont have to rely upon your memory. Keep in mind that bulk foods such as beans, rice, oatmeal and powdered milk are staples in the survival food pantry. Relatively speaking, they are all (with the exception, perhaps of the milk) inexpensive. These are basics, yes. But if you are just getting started, why not begin with the food your family eats but only in canned form? Also, do not forget to store at least one gallon of water per person per day along with your emergency food supply. Dont Make it a Chore Storing food for an emergency can be challenging but it does not have to be a chore. Eliminate the panic of attempting to get it all done at once and the process can almost be fun and game-like. Searching out deals either with coupons or at sales can be an adventure in and of itself. Involve the kids by asking them for suggestions and helping them make selections that they will enjoy eating. Continue the adventure by learning to cook with traditional storage items such as the bulk food items mentioned above (beans, rice, oatmeal and powdered milk). Adding condiments of various types will result in delicious meals not only now, but after an emergency when good tasting food will be a comfort. Pay Attention to Storage Conditions Notwithstanding finding the space for your emergency food supply, consider the storage conditions in your home. The enemies of food storage are temperature, moisture, oxygen, light, pests and time. Then there is the two-legged variety (such as teenagers!) who eat everything in sight, including your emergency food. While not all household conditions are perfect, be aware of the six enemies of food storage and do your best to mitigate their effect on your precious food supply. This means you should avoid storing food in garages that are 90 degrees in summer and 30 degrees in winter. Empty your cupboards and closets of excess stuff and stow these items in the garage. This will make room for you to store your food inside your main living area where the ambient room temperature is stable. Rotate Out, and Replenish In Nothing lasts forever, so periodically go through your emergency food supply and rotate out the oldest items. You can do this once a year or even every two years. Just remember to replenish what you remove. The exception to this rule is if the food items have been packaged for long-term storage, either by the manufacturer or yourself. How to package for the long term is beyond the scope of this article, but you will find plenty of tips in the following three articles here on Backdoor Survival: Food Storage Part I A Primer on Oxygen Absorbers Keep Track of Your Stuff Once you get going, it will be easy to lose track of what you already have. The best way to overcome the state of confusion you will experience six months down the road is to start keeping track of your stored items now from the beginning. Use a spiral notebook, a computer spreadsheet, or a clipboard and a pad of paper. Update your inventory with the item and date of purchase as it goes into storage and of course, mark it off as it rotates out. Another good idea is to use a sharpie or a colored label to mark the purchase date on each item. That is the simple way of using the FIFO method of food rotation (FIFO = First In, First Out). Do Your Homework Resources abound. With a modest amount of computer knowledge, you can search around the Internet to find all sorts of emergency food and food storage advice. Be an informed consumer. Learn about the foods that store well and also about pre-packaged meals that only require a bit of hot water to create a good-tasting and satisfying food experience. Learn about bulk foods and cooking methods that your can use when there is no power to your home. Many of the websites selling food will have blogs as well as links to helpful information. Why not use them to increase your overall knowledge and to become familiar with additional tactics and strategies for storing food for the long-term in a hassle-free manner? The Final Word While it is true that an unexpected disaster could happen at any time, the reality is that we prepare for far more than a natural disaster. A sudden illness, unemployment and even expensive car repairs may all contribute to the need to prepare and to have food and supplies at the ready. Learning to overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed as you begin to store food for an emergency or for the long term does not have to be daunting. Start with these crazy simple tips and you will be well on your way to becoming an emergency food storage maven. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLES: Read other articles by Gaye Levy here.

1	The West Texas chapter of B'nai B'rith is holding a month-long series of events in remembrance of the Holocaust, commemorating the 20th century's darkest hour the way they do everything... Texas-style! Texas Jews rustle up some memorial grub. 'If we do not remember the past, we are doomed to repeat it,' said San Antonio Rabbi Leonard 'Too Tall' Sussman at Sunday's opening ceremony, laying a wreath before the Lone Star Of David in front of B'nai B'rith headquarters in Lubbock. 'The world was silent, and in silence lies complicity. Never again, y'hear?' Added Sussman, 'Yee-haw!' He then lit the ceremonial Eternal Flame, over which a spit will be installed for Wednesday's kosher steer cookout. Among the highlights of Holocaust Hoedown '97: a Main Street parade featuring red, white and blue Texas blossoms spelling out 'Don't Mess With The Jews'; a special appearance by six-time Zionist calf-roping champion Barry Lowenstein; and daily double-bill showings of Schindler's List and John Wayne's True Grit. 'Have we learned the lessons of the Holocaust?' asked Deborah Teitelbaum, director of Dallas' Museum of the Holocaust. 'If the answer is yes, then how does one explain events in such places as Cambodia and Bosnia? What do we tell the orphaned child in Rwanda? And how 'bout them Cowboys!' 
1	Admitting that the previous incarnation of its program may have set unrealistically high expectations for the nations youth, the NFL unveiled Thursday its newly downscaled Play 60 campaign, in which the league is encouraging children to be physically active for 60 seconds per week. In hindsight, hoping that kids would be able to get out there and move around for an entire hour every single day was wildly optimistic, but were hoping that a solid minute of motion every week or so is a bit more attainable, NFL spokesperson Clare Graff said of the more reasonable health and fitness campaign, which urges children to make an effort to engage in such activities as standing, waddling, and holding a semi-vertical pose to whatever extent they are capable. And keep in mind that those 60 seconds dont all have to come at once. No need to overdo it. You can split it up into five- or 10-second chunks, and you dont have to start with a full minute at first. Just, you know, try your best. Graff added that in an effort to spread word about the revised exercise program, the NFL is planning on airing a new Play 60 commercial featuring a group of panting, red-faced children shifting around on a couch with Green Bay Packers defensive tackle B.J. Raji. 
3	Energy and Transportation SolutionsEdwin M. Basye Once new ideas spread, and in some cases new technologies are implemented, the solutions largely take care of themselves by self-interested people taking action. Transportation and energy are perhaps the easiest problems to solve. There is really no need to use oil or coal for energy or transportation; far better choices exist. Three clear, practical choices exist, and an additional possibility is worth further exploration. The most obvious but most often overlooked solution is energy conservation. Homes can be retrofitted to be better insulated and use passive solar for space heating, and solar hot water. Usually these improvements pay for themselves fairly quickly. After space heating and cooling, refrigeration is usually the biggest consumption of electricity. More efficient refrigerators are now available, and can substantially reduce electrical consumption. Alcohol Fuel Alcohol has been around for a very long time, and was the primary fuel for the first cars. Before Rockefeller destroyed this option, many farmers produced alcohol for their own farm equipment and transportation vehicles. Alcohol can be a locally-produced fuel, and is a renewable resource when the carbohydrates used to make the fuel are produced sustainably. It is sun energy stored by living plants, and processed by simple human technology. It has a carbon-neutral footprint, having zero impact on the CO2 levels of the atmosphere. As carbohydrates used to make alcohol absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, and then the carbon is re-released as CO2 when the fuel is burned. Alcohol can also be used for heating homes, especially for homes currently using heating oil. Current industrial and office heating could also be converted. As the demand for oil goes to zero, wars to protect oil fields in foreign lands would no longer have any economic justification. Fighting for our freedom to burn as much gasoline as we like to would be a thing of the past. The cost of alcohol production, when done properly, would be significantly less than the cost of gasoline. Many cars produced today are flex fuel, meaning they can burn any ratio of alcohol/gasoline. Those that are not flex fuel can be retrofitted for a few hundred dollars. When alcohol becomes the fuel of choice, flex fuel cars would become the de-facto standard. If you wish to become an alcohol fuel producer on a small or medium scale, David Blumes Alcohol Can Be a Gas book is the definitive bible on the subject. Evacuated Tube Transportation Technology Evacuated Tube Transportation (ETT) is a new transportation technology which can be implemented mostly with off-the shelf components. It promises a 98% reduction in energy usage compared to current transportation methods. The 2% of energy it does use could come from wind, solar, and/or alcohol fuel using fuel cells. But it gets better: the evacuated tube system will be the fastest and the safest transportation system ever implemented. What is ETT? ETT consists of a tube, 5 or 6 feet in diameter, emptied of all air, with computer-controlled individual capsules suspended by magnetic levitation (maglev), and accelerated electrically using linear motors. Deceleration will use recapturing technology which will recycle most of the energy used by the acceleration. Regional travel, analogous to current metro mass-transit systems will achieve 300MPH. Since the system uses individual capsules and not trains, it is an on-demand system which would not require pre-scheduling or significant wait time. Longer distance travel will achieve 4000MPH, making commuting between LA and New York feasible, with a one-way trip time of approximately 45 minutes. The high speeds are achievable by totally frictionless travel. Air resistance and rolling resistance has been totally eliminated, creating a contained environment similar to outer space. The capsules will also be designed to accommodate pallets of freight and will revolutionize shipping of most commodities, being enormously cheaper and faster than any current form of transportation. ETT has the potential to obsolete air travel, rail, and most automobiles and trucks, and provide inexpensive, fast transportation to the entire planet. It also has the potential to revitalize our economy, providing jobs in manufacturing and construction of the system, and reducing the cost of doing business both in transportation of people and commodities. Some of the manufacturing base left in the country could be re-purposed to build the capsules, vacuum pumps, and other components of the system. Get Involved Learn more about ETT, and participate in ETT by purchasing an ET3 license, or donating to the ET3 Foundation. Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors Ill be honest: nuclear power scares me, and especially after the Japan incident I want nothing to do with existing nuclear power plants. However, looking a little into thorium reactors has changed my perspective. We must keep an open, but skeptical mind when exploring new technologies. Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTR) promise the possibility of much cleaner nuclear power plants that have nearly zero risk of containment problems. One of the main reasons thorium reactors have not been used is that they dont produce weapons-grade radioactive byproducts. In fact, they have the potential to burn up all the radioactive waste from existing power plants, which would essentially become a free source of fuel until it is used up. Of the radioactive waste left, most is safe within 10 years, and the remainder is safe after 300 years, compared to 10,000 years or more from existing nuclear waste. LFTR promises to be a peace-friendly and environmentally friendly solution. Because of the design of a LFTR, any malfunction would automatically shut the system down safely. More research needs to be done to prove these claims, especially the closed-system turbines in the proposed power plant designs, but they are definitely worth pursuing, as the payoff could be enormous.

3	The Basics of a Staged Bioterror EventBy Jon Rappoport There are future scenarios which, with enough exposure before they happen, can be stoppedor at least analyzed correctly when they occur. A staged bioterror event is one of those. The primary fact is: no matter what kind of germ youre talking about or where it came from, releasing it intentionally does not guarantee predictable results. Far from it. For instance, people whose immune systems are at different levels of strength are going to react differently. The perpetrators may find that less than 2% of people exposed get sick and die. But there is another strategy that should be understood: The use of a germ as a cover story for a chemical. In other words, there is no germ attack. Its called a germ attack, but thats a lie. The perps bring in researchers, to the affected area, who go on to claim they have isolated a germ that is the cause of death and illness. Its a sham. What really happened was the spread of a toxic chemical that cant be detected, unless youre looking for it. The chemical has severe, deadly, and predictable effects for a week or two. Then it disperses and loses potency and the epidemic is done. In some town, a fairly isolated community, the word goes out that people are suddenly falling ill and dying. The CDC and the Army are called in to cordon off the area and quarantine all citizens. A peremptory announcement is made, early on, that this is a biowar attack. Major media are allowed outside the periphery. Network news anchors set up on-location and do their wall to wall broadcasts from the scene. The entire nation, the entire world is riveted on the event, 24/7. People inside the cordon fall ill and die. Reports emerge from the town: The networks state that heroic doctors are taking samples of blood and the blood is being analyzed to find the germ that is causing the epidemic. The DoD confirms over and over that this is, indeed, a biowar attack. Human interest stories pile up. This family lost three members, that family lost everybody. Tragedy, horror, and the desired empathic response from the world community. Its a soap opera, except real people are dying. The medical cartel promotes fear of the germ. All controlling entities get to obtain their piece of the terrorist pie. Finally, the doctors announce they have isolated the germ causing the death in the small town, and researchers are rushing to develop a vaccine (which they produce in record time). Everyone everywhere must be vaccinated, now. No choice. Do it or be quarantined or jailed. In this declared martial law situation, the doctors are the heroes. The doctors and the Army. And the government, and even the media. Then, after a few weeks, when the potency of the secret chemical has dispersed, its over. When you think about it, this scenario is a rough approximation of what happens every day, all over the world, in doctors offices. The doctors are prescribing chemicals (drugs) whose effects are far more dangerous than germs that may (or may not) be causing patients to be ill. In other words, a chem-war attack is being leveled at people all over the world all the time. See Dr. Barbara Starfield (Johns Hopkins School of Public Health), July 26, 2000, Journal of the American Medical Association, Is US health really the best in the world? 106,000 people in America are killed every year by FDA-approved medical drugs. Thats a million people per decade (click here for more info). Also search engine FDA Why Should You Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions. the FDA admits 100,000 people in America die every year from the effects of medical drugs. (Click here to go directly to the FDA page in question.) In the wake of a staged biowar terror attack, new laws are enacted. The State clamps down harder on basic freedoms. The right to travel is curtailed. Criticizing the authorities is viewed as highly illegal. Freedom of assembly is limited. Citizens must cooperate. Were all in this together. A new federal law mandating the CDC schedule of vaccines for every child and adultno exceptions permittedis rushed through the Congress and signed by the President. Its all based on a liein the same way that the disease theory of the medical cartel is based on a lie: the strength of an individuals immune system is the basic determinant of health or illness, not germs considered in a vacuum. There are people who are determined to inflate the dangers of germs. They trumpet every new germ as the end of humankind on the planet. They especially sound the alarm when researchers claim a germ may have mutated or jumped from animals to humans. This is it! Were done for! However, if you check into actual confirmed cases of death from recent so-called epidemics, such as West Nile, SARS, bird flu (H5N1), Swine Flu (H1N1), and now MERS, the numbers of deaths are incredibly low, contrasted with, say, the global deaths from ordinary seasonal fluwhich is never called a pandemic. And even seasonal flu, in America, produces far fewer deaths than advertised. As Ive written before, the CDC keeps one category of statistics for pneumonia and flu combined. When you break out the numbers for each illness, flu death is minuscule. If political criminals, behind the scenes, wanted to stage a confined biowar event, they would choose a chemical, not a germ, and they would leverage such an event to curtail freedom. Understand: researchers behind sealed doors in labs can claim, with unassailable ease, that theyve found a germ that causes an outbreak. Almost no one challenges such an assertion. This was the case, for example, with the vaunted SARS epidemic (a dud), in 2003, when 10 World Health Organization (WHO) labs, walled off from view, in communication with each other via closed circuit, announced theyd isolated a coronavirus as the culprit. Later, in Canada, a WHO microbiologist, Frank Plummer, wandered off the reservation and told reporters he was puzzled by the fact that fewer and fewer SARS patients had the coronavirus. This was tantamount to confessing that the whole research effort had been a failure and a shambut after a day or so of coverage, the press fell silent. SARS was a nonsensical farce. Diagnosed patients had ordinary seasonal flu or a collection of familiar symptoms that could result from many different causes. But the propaganda effort was a stunning success. Populations were frightened. The need for vaccines, in the public mind, was exacerbated. Several years ago, I spoke with a biologist about the fake bioterror scenario Ive sketched out above. His comment was: Do you think any mainstream scientist would dare go into that cordoned-off town and actually check the area for a highly toxic chemical? Hed be blackballed, exiled, and discredited in a minute. The authorities would call him crazy. And thats if he were lucky. Such is science, these days. A researcher can discover anything he wants to, if its approved. Otherwise, the door is closed. After 30 years of covering and reporting on deep science fraud, I can tell you that most scientists know, without instructions from above, the dimensions of their permitted territory. They can sniff out career danger from a mile away. GMOs? Roundup? Other toxic pesticides? Climate change? Vaccines? Medical drugs? Diagnostic medical tests? Actual environmental pollution? Mercury? Chemicals in food? Radiation? Nuclear power plants? Fracking? Fluorides? On these and a whole host of other issues, government is centrally involved as a ruling force. And there are armies of compliant scientists ready and willing to carry out preferred government (and corporate) dictates. These scientists already know the answers before the questions are even asked. Meanwhile, propaganda rivers flow, extolling the glories of science. Its a dream situation, for the terminally corrupt. A huge number of scientists, who dont actually participate in research fraud, stand back and watch it happen and say nothing. They see the handwriting on the wall in very large letters. In 1988, while writing my first book, AIDS INC., I interviewed a highly respected virologist at a US university. I mentioned that several molecular biologists were challenging the HIV-causation hypothesis of AIDS. He told me that he and a number of his colleagues were aware that a serious problem existed concerning evidence for the hypothesis, but they were all going to let this one go. It was too political, he said. Yes, well, an enormous amount of science turns out to be political. Keeping ones head down and letting things go by may not be part of a PhD curriculum, but soon after school is out, researchers enter a different kind of training. A main theme then pops up: do you want a career, or do you want to live in the middle of nowhere, in exile? As it so happens, building a broad scientific consensus resting on sand is a straightforward job. It takes time and money, but the work requires no brilliance. You just flash signs at scientists. The signs say: money; job security; status; advancement; promotion; grants; prestige; reputation; pension; exposure; censure; discrediting; exile; isolation. They get the idea right away.

3	Meet the Internet GatekeepersJulie Beal Eleven years in the making, the system of global Identity Management (IdM) is backed by those with the most to protect, and will bring in Internet Governance by the back door. It will give everyone a unique ID, for life, and make us all very careful about what we do online, as all e-transactions will be marked with the time, date, and identities of those involved. All the public is being told, however, is that we need these measures to protect against identity theft, and other cybercrimes, and that surfing the Net will be easier. IdM experts in the US have released a short draft of scenarios envisaged for online ID: The UK government has just announced its intention to offer a digital sign-in to access government services online. Coverage of this report suggests Facebook will be used as an Identity Provider (IdP), but a little digging reveals that Facebook could only be used for low-security log-ins, such as browsing websites. The global identity ecosystem involves making all online identity protocols work together under the same set of rules. Governance is achieved by bringing the Trust Frameworks for all the various ID systems into alignment with global standards. Some privacy groups point out the UK plan is not a centralised government database, and there is no physical ID card. These points are irrelevant since databases do not need to be centralised, just accessible and an information card, for people without a smart phone is likely, as it adds authentication to the password. All of this brought to you by the Identity Providers, most of who have designed and promoted this system from the start. You will be asked to trust banks and corporate giants (yes, really), including Google, Paypal, and Verizon, with your credentials. Sure, you get to spread them around a little, but they will be in far fewer places, and marked with your ID number. These Identity Providers are all linked under one system (i.e. federated), and the same sets of rules, such as those devised by the TSCP, whose members include, the US Department of Defense, US Secret Service, UK Ministry of Defence, Microsoft, and Lockheed Martin. Identity management is the way the Internet of Things (IoT) is controlled; this involves gathering vast amounts of personal data. As part of this, ID chips will be placed into most everyday objects, such as clothing, indicating our behaviours and preferences. Each object will be tracked against the identity of its owner, hence each person and each object needs to have a unique ID, enabled by trillions of unique ID address spaces created by IPv6. Thus, each entity has a signifier to denote its attributes, so it can be understood by complex computers; this enables efficient processing of things, and their relationships, in the information network. Data is king; telecoms and banks have merged to surge in this age of everything everywhere enabled by smart phones and sensors. Data sharing is the focus, as foreseen by dozens of Internet giants back in 2001; Sun Microsystems, in opposition to the launch of Passport by Microsoft, formed the Liberty Alliance, together with companies which included, Intel, MasterCard, Nokia, Oracle, Royal Mail Group, and Vodafone. Morphing into the Kantara Initiative in 2009, the group has worked closely with the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) over the years, developing standards to ensure global interoperability. The Alliance began working with governments around the world in 2006, when the UK government won the Liberty Alliance IDentity Deployment of the Year Award , as international recognition of outstanding work around open, interoperable authentication in the e-government sector, achieved with a one-time password system, for filing tax returns, etc., as is now being proposed as part of the digital by default design. Evolving from these concepts is the real standard setter for the global identity ecosystem the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, or NSTIC, officially launched in 2011 by the US government. A report by the NSTC Subcommittee on Biometrics and Identity Management (2011) expects smart phones, and their expanding suite of sensors to, The identity ecosystem gives you privacy from most but not all. You will have little to no control over your identity, because the Identity Provider holds the purse strings, and simply allows you to take out a token (an attribute) sometimes and show it to someone, but then youve got to put it back in the purse, because the purse does not belong to you. Your IdP can show all the tokens in the purse to third parties, namely neuromarketers and law enforcement agencies (the data is also invaluable to researchers, insurance companies, and employers). But the IdPs hold the purse strings, and profit directly from the data they hold on you. Numbered, ranked, and kept in line and profiled to the nth degree the commodification of identity adds value to reputation capital gained from online status and changes the game of commerce; risk, liability, and non-repudiation. The simple fact that IdM allows for auditing and forensics will be enough to radically alter behaviours and relationships. Day-to-day ID control will entail the persistent monitoring of our biometrics to counter identity spoofing, while smart phones will become too valuable to lose.

1	Describing the experience as 'nice' and 'interesting,' nearly 19,000 Atlanta residents filled Atlanta's Philips Arena for the National Hockey League's annual All-Star Game, being careful to smile politely throughout the entire hour-long contest. 'I certainly had a pleasant time,' 54-year-old Darren Holbrook said on his way to the parking lot, though he added that he most likely would not attend another hockey game in the near future. 'Those young men on the ice seemed to really be enjoying themselves, so it would have been rude for us not to give them our undivided attention.' Most fans in attendance echoed Holbrook's sentiments, but added that had the game gone on much longer, they would have politely excused themselves and gone home. 
3	As Drought Stricken Californians Cut Back, Corporations Get a PassJoshua Krause With the threat of water shortages looming, many residents are quick to point fingers at Californias agricultural industry. What, with almond growers sucking up 1.1 trillion gallons of water a year, and the beef industry using 106 gallons of water for every ounce of meat, it looks like many Californians are ready to throw both small farmers and Big Ag under the bus. However, this states water problems arent just relegated to agriculture. Its now become common knowledge that for decades, California has allowed beverage companies to bottle public water with little oversight. What most people are just now learning is that, to extract this water from public land requires a permit, and water bottle companies like Arrowhead have had their permits expired since 1988. The fact that Nestl has continued its massive water-bottling operation while the state struggles with crippling water shortages has become a sticking point for activists. A petition demanding Nestl immediately stop bottling and profiting off California water has drawn 27,000 online signatures and counting, and last month activists reportedly blocked the entrances to Nestls bottling plant in Sacramento. Another investigation published last year by The Desert Sun found that after 2009, Nestl Waters stopped submitting annual reports to local water districts about how much groundwater the company extracted for bottling. Since then, the local San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency has listed a rounded estimate in its own reports of 750 acre-feet, or 244 million gallons of water, extracted by Nestl per year, according to the Sun. Reuters reports the company drew 50 million gallons from the Sacramento area alone last year. So not only did the state government allow these permits to lapse, but theyve allowed these companies to stop reporting their water usage. Isnt that interesting? In fact, there are 108 bottling facilities in California (far more than any other state), and nobody seems to be keeping track of how much water they use. Keep in mind, though; as bad as this sounds, the amount of water that is being bottled is actually quite minuscule compared to agricultural and residential usage. The real issue here, is that this lack of oversight is very indicative of the states cozy relationship with corporations. Think about it. Most government agencies are sticklers for record keeping, and often rely on permits and licenses for revenue. They would never let one of us get away with this. If you or I tried to drive a car with a lapsed drivers license or tried to carry a concealed firearm without a permit, you can bet your bottom dollar that if the government finds out, youre going to be in a lot of trouble. Theyll probably extract more money from you in fines and court fees then they ever would if you had paid for these permits. But if youre a corporation, theyll just shrug and let it slide. And therein lies the real problem with Californias water crisis. Theres a big difference between not receiving enough rainfall, and not having enough water. One may be caused by an act of nature, while the other is likely caused by mismanagement and backroom deals. This state has decided that, rather than pricing the water what its really worth and letting the chips fall where they may, they can just allocate it (or ignore unpermitted usage) to whoever they want. If youre a major corporation with more cash than God and more lobbyists and lawyers than you can shake a stick at, you get a pass. But if youre just an average Joe, you get the shaft. Enjoy your long hot showers, because its going to cost you. This sets a frightening precedent. Its almost like the state government can use water as a weapon. They can give it away for free to their powerful friends, or they can restrict it for any individual or community that wont play ball (either by fines or by physically turning off their access). Theyre giving certain companies an unfair advantages while screwing over everyone who isnt important enough to them. This does not bode well for the future, especially if this drought does not relent. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared.

3	Shock Report: 70 Million People Would Be Starving in the Streets Without Government Welfare ProgramsMac Slavo Home sales have dropped to record lows, more people are out of the workforce than at anytime in the last 50 years, and cash-strapped consumers have run out of money to fuel economic growth. By all meaningful measures the American boom times of old are gone. A recent report from the Department of Health and Human Services suggests that we may have already reached the tipping point and that things are only going to get worse going forward. According to the HHS, nearly half of all Americans are now dependent on some form of government benefit just to put food on the table. And of our population of 310 million, nearly one in four receive welfare benefits. Thats over 70 million people who, if the government safety nets broke down due to lack of funding or a monetary crisis, would be starving on our streets right now. Of critical importance is that this particular report looks only at 2011. Since then weve seen even more people taken out of the labor force. Moreover, weve seen prices for all consumer goods rise during that time frame and incomes either stagnate or drop to inflation adjusted levels not seen since the 1960s. Thus, in all likelihood, we are well over the 50% mark. This means that without government assistance that may include social security, welfare, unemployment or other social services, at least one in two Americans would not be able to pay their rent, buy food, or keep their utilities turned on. The end of the world as know it is happening right now. Whats worse is that the those in the upper echelons of our government know it. They have been actively preparing for the fallout by war-gaming large-scale economic collapse scenarios and militarizing domestic law enforcement for the civil unrest to follow. The American public got a small taste of what something like that might look like when the Electronic Benefit Transfer systems in sixteen states went offline last year for about 12 hours last year. Nothing short of panic ensued; along with the looting and riots the government expects will invariably happen should the welfare and social distribution systems come under strain.

3	Legalizing Marijuana Now More Popular Than All Political CandidatesJohn Vibes Now that there have been states where people have beenallowed to vote for the legalization of marijuana, that topic has actually become more popular than the candidates themselves. According to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted in March, in the key swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, marijuana is far more popular than all the major political candidates. The survey found that over 80% of people in all states supported medical marijuana, with over 50% also supporting fully legalized recreational marijuana. Meanwhile, all of the major political candidates have the approval of less than 50% of the people polled. In some ways marijuana policy is the perfect issue for a presidential campaign. It has far reaching consequences that both parties have reason to engage, John Hudak of the Brookings Institution told the Washington Post, in response to the poll. Prohibition of any kind should be opposed for the reasons I have laid out in the past. However, marijuana is of specific immediate importance because of its ability to heal people and create environmentally friendly industrial products. It is also one of the safest drugs known to our species. Both the Democrats and the Republicans fall well below 50% in terms of approval, with 39% viewing the Democratic party favorable and 37% viewing the Republican party favorable.

2	BREAKING: Black Lives Matter Hoodlums Brutally Assault Trump Protestors At Rally Then THIS Happens Over the past year, protesters and the liberal media have told a story of minorities being constantly victimized like white people. That may be true in some cases, with some white people. But lets not forget that white people are often the victims as well. According to reports, newly-surfaced footage is going viral showing Donald Trump supporters being assaulted by liberal protesters during a rally in San Jose, California. San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia claimed it was more important for officers to hold their line than to help those who were being beaten. The footage went viral after the Dhillon Law Group announced that a group of Trump supporters had filed a class-action lawsuit against the city of San Jose for police actions. Fourteen individuals who attended the Donald J. Trump presidential campaign rally on June 2, 2016, in San Jose, Calif., filed a class action lawsuit this morning against the City of San Jose, its mayor, Sam Liccardo, its chief of police, Eduardo Garcia, certain named individual rioter defendants, and 38 yet-unknown Doe defendants, alleging that the Defendants created a dangerous situation for all Trump Rally attendees that cause plaintiffs to be exposed to brutal assault, intimidation, false imprisonment, and threats by an angry mob of hundreds of anti-Trump protesters, the press release on the incident read. Law-abiding citizens leaving the Trump rally were victimized by being forced by armed police to walk into a riot in full swing where many were assaulted while police looked on, attorney Hameet K. Dhillon said in a statement. In addition to the physical injuries suffered by dozens of attendees, all of them suffered violations of their rights of free speech and free assembly, and through this action, they seek redress for the injuries they suffered to their persons and to their constitutionally protected rights. Despite deploying over 250 San Jose police officers or others working at their direction many of whom were outfitted in full riot gear San Joses officials not only failed to protect the attendees, but made clear through their subsequent public statements that their inaction was colored by political viewpoint considerations, the press release concluded. What do you think? Are you tired of the double standard we see every day? 
3	Why the US Government Doesnt Want You to Own a DroneJoshua Krause But for the US government, security and privacy is only one side of the coin. They can also be used to damage property and hurt personnel, or at least they will in the near future. Im of course talking about hobbyist drones that the average person can buy right now. Obviously, the governments fleet of flying murder machines already have the ability to gather intelligence and kill people. But apparently whats keeping government officials up at night these days is the potential for civilians of average income to purchase tricked-out murder machines of their own. Over a week before the news caught wind of the drone that crashed on the White House lawn, there was a meeting in Arlington, Virginia with officials from the DHS, FAA, and the US military. There they discussed the numerous ways these hobby aircraft may be used for countering military formations, assassination, and terrorism. The conference was open to civilians, but explicitly closed to the press. One attendee described it as an eye-opener. The officials played videos of low-cost drones firing semi-automatic weapons, revealed that Syrian rebels are importing consumer-grade drones to launch attacks, and flashed photos from an exercise that pitted $5,000 worth of drones against a convoy of armored vehicles. (The drones won.) But the most striking visual aid was on an exhibit table outside the auditorium, where a buffet of low-cost drones had been converted into simulated flying bombs. One quadcopter, strapped to 3 pounds of inert explosive, was a DJI Phantom 2, a newer version of the very drone that would land at the White House the next week. Attendee Daniel Herbert snapped a photo and posted it to his website along with detailed notes from the conference. The day after the White House incident, he says, DHS phoned him and politely asked him to remove the entire post. He complied. Im not going to be the one to challenge Homeland Security and cause more contention, says Herbert, who runs a small drone shop in Delaware called Skygear Solutions. Of course, this is the Internet were talking about, so the image is still floating around. You can see it in the link I posted above. It shows how easy it would be to strap some explosives onto an ordinary hobby drone. As for mounting a firearm, thats still a little ways off. The potential is already there, but its going to take a few years before that sort of technology is in the hands of everyday drone enthusiasts. A cursory look through YouTube will net you a few videos of people whove mounted handguns and .22s onto their drones, but theyre all pretty rudimentary. Nonetheless, were rapidly approaching the day when the average person with a few thousand dollars can buy a long-distance drone with a fully capable weapons system. To mitigate these risks, some drone manufacturers are voluntarily limiting the range of these machines. The Phantom line of consumer drones made by China-based DJI figures prominently in the governments attack scenarios. Thats not because theres anything sinister about DJI or the Phantomin fact, just the opposite. The Phantom is the iPod of drones, cheap, easy to use, and as popular with casual and first-time fliers as with experienced radio control enthusiasts. With all the attention surrounding the White House landing, DJI felt it had to take action. So last Thursday it pushed a mandatory firmware update for its Phantom 2 that would prevent the drone from flying in a 15.5 mile radius of the White House. So far its the only drone-maker installing whats known as GPS geofencing. The technique is not new toDJI. The company first added no-fly zones to its firmware in April of last year to deter newbie pilots from zipping into the restricted airspace over airports, where they might interfere with departing and arriving aircraft. If a Phantom 2 pilot flies within five miles of a major airports no fly zone, the drones maximum altitude begins to taper. At 1.5 miles away, it lands and refuses to take off again. Municipal airports are protected by smaller zones, also programmed into the drones firmware. Of course, firmware isnt always so firm, as anyone whos done a jailbreak on their smartphone can tell you. In reality theres no stopping this. In the same way that criminals can still buy guns on the black market, anyone who is determined to turn their drone into a suicide bomb or a mobile gun turret, is not going to be deterred. The future has arrived, and its going to present some interesting challenges for every government on Earth.

3	How Dangerous Is Genetically Modified Food?Alex Daley Which is why the alarm bells are being rung over a new variety of wheat being ushered toward production by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) of Australia. In a sense, the crop is little different than the wide variety of modern genetically modified foods. A sequence of the plants genes has been turned off to change the wheats natural behavior a bit, to make it more commercially viable (hardier, higher yielding, slower decaying, etc.). Franken-Wheat? Whats really different this time and what has Professor Jack Heinemann of the University of Canterbury, NZ, and Associate Professor Judy Carman, a biochemist at Flinders University in Australia, holding press conferences to garner attention to the subject is the technique employed to effectuate the genetic change. It doesnt modify the genes of the wheat plants in question; instead, a specialized gene blocker interferes with the natural action of the genes. The process at issue, dubbed RNA interference or RNAi for short, has been a hotbed of research activity ever since the Nobel Prize-winning 1997 research paper that described the process. It is one of a number of so-called antisense technologies that help suppress natural genetic expression and provide a mechanism for suppressing undesirable genetic behaviors. The new wheat is in early-stage field trials (i.e., its been planted to grow somewhere, but has not yet been tested for human consumption), part of a multi-year process on its way to potential approval and not unlike the rigorous process many drugs go through. The researchers responsible are using RNAi to turn down the production of glycogen. They are targeting the production of the wheat branching enzyme which, if suppressed, would result in a much lower starch level for the wheat. The result would be a grain with a lower glycemic index i.e., healthier wheat. This is a noble goal. However, Professors Heinemann and Carman warn, theres a risk that the gene silencing done to these plants might make its way into humans and wreak havoc on our bodies. In their press conference and subsequent papers, they describe the possibility that the siRNA molecules which are pretty hardy little chemicals and not easily gotten rid of could wind up interacting with our RNA. If their theories prove true, the results might be as bad as mimicking glycogen storage disease IV, a super-rare genetic disorder which almost always leads to early childhood death. Now that is potentially headline-grabbing stuff. Unfortunately, much of it is mere speculation at this point, albeit rooted in scientific expertise on the subject. What theyve produced is a series of opinion papers not scientific research nor empirical data to prove that what they suspect might happen, actually does. They point to the possibilities that could happen if a number of criteria are met: Then the result might be symptoms similar to such a condition, on some scale or another, anywhere from completely unnoticeable to highly impactful. They further postulate that if the same effect is seen in animals, it could result in devastating ecological impact. Dead bugs and dead wild animals. Luckily for us, as potential consumers of these foods, all of these are easily testable theories. And this is precisely the type of data the lengthy approval process is meant to look at. Opinion papers like this while not to be confused with conclusions resulting from solid research are a critically important part of the scientific process, challenging researchers to provide hard data on areas that other experts suspect could be overlooked. Professors Carman and Heinemann provide a very important public good in challenging the strength of the due-diligence process for RNAis use in agriculture, an incomplete subject we continue to discover more about every day. However, well have to wait until the data come back on this particular experiment among thousands of similar ones being conducted at government labs, universities, and in the research facilities of commercial agribusinesses like Monsanto and Cargill to know if this wheat variety would in fact result in a dietary apocalypse. Thats a notion many anti-genetically modified organism (GMO) pundits seem to have latched onto following the press conference the professors held. But if the history of modern agriculture can teach us anything, its that far more aggressive forms of GMO foods appear to have had a huge net positive effect on the global economy and our lives. Not only have they not killed us, in many ways GMO foods have been responsible for the massive increases in public health and quality of life around the world. The Roots of the GMO Food Debate The debate over genetically modified (GM) food is a heated one. Few contest that we are working in somewhat murky waters when it comes to genetically modified anything, human or plant alike. At issue, really, is the question of whether we are prepared to use the technologies weve discovered. In other words, are we the equivalent of a herd of monkeys armed with bazookas, unable to comprehend the sheer destructive power we possess yet perfectly capable of pulling the trigger? Or do we simply face the same type of daunting intellectual challenge as those who discovered fire, electricity, or even penicillin, at a time when the tools to fully understand how they worked had not yet been conceived of? In all of those cases, we were able to probe, study, and learn the mysteries of these incredible discoveries over time. Sure, there were certainly costly mistakes along the way. But we were also able to make great use of them to advance civilization long before we fully understood how they worked at a scientific level. Much is the same in the study and practical use of GM foods. While the fundamentals of DNA have been well understood for decades, we are still in the process of uncovering many of the inner workings of what is arguably the single most advanced form of programming humans have ever encountered. It is still very much a rapidly evolving science to this day. For example, in the 1990s, an idea known simply as gene therapy really a generalized term for a host of new-at-the-time experimental techniques that share the simple characteristic of permanently modifying the genetic make-up of an organism was all the rage in medical study. Two decades on, its hardly ever spoken of. Thats because the great majority of attempted disease therapies from genetic modification failed, with many resulting in terrible side effects and even death for the patients who underwent the treatments. Its use in the early days, of course, was limited almost exclusively to some of the worlds most debilitating, genetically rooted diseases. Still whether in their zeal to use a fledgling tool to cure a dreadful malady or in selfish, hurried desire to be recognized among the pioneers of what they thought would be the very future of medicine doctors chose to move forward at a dangerous pace with gene therapy. In one famous case, and somewhat typical of the times, University of Pennsylvania physicians enrolled a sick 18-year-old boy with a liver mutation into a trial for a gene therapy that was known to have resulted in the deaths of some of the monkeys it had just been tested on. The treatment resulted in the young mans death a few days later, and the lengthy investigation that followed resulted in serious accusations of what can only be called cowboy medicine. Not one of sciences prouder moments, to be sure. But could GM foods be following the same dangerous path? After all, the first GM foods made their way to market during the same time period. The 1980s saw large-scale genetic-science research and experimentation from agricultural companies, producing everything from antibiotic-resistant tobacco to pesticide-hardy corn. After much debate and study, in 1994 the FDA gave approval to the first GM food to be sold in the United States: the ironically named Flavr Savr tomato, with its delayed ripening genes which made it an ideal candidate for sitting for days or weeks on grocery store shelves. Ever since, there has been a seeming rush of modified foods into the marketplace. Modern GM foods include soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, sugar beets, and a number of squash and greens varieties, as well as products made from them. One of the most prevalent modifications is to make plants glyphosate-resistant, or in common terms, Roundup Ready. This yields varieties that are able to stand up to much heavier doses of the herbicide Roundup, which is used to keep weeds and other pest plants from damaging large monoculture fields, thereby reducing costs and lowering risks. In total it is estimated that modern GM crops have grown to become a $12 billion annual business since their commercialization in 1994, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA). Over 15 million farms around the world are reported to have grown GM crops, and their popularity increases every year. Theyve brought huge improvements in shelf life, pathogen and other stress resistance, and even added nutritional benefits. For instance, yellow rice which was the first approved crop with an entirely new genetic pathway added artificially provides beta-carotene to a large population of people around the world who otherwise struggle to find enough in their diets. However, the race for horticulturalists to the genetic table in the past few decades what could be described accurately as the transgenic generation of research has by no means been our first experiment with the genetic manipulation of food. In fact, if anything, it is a more deliberate, well studied, and careful advance than those that came before it. Some proponents of GMO foods are quick to point out that humans have been modifying foods at the genetic level since the dawn of agriculture itself. We crossbreed plants with each other to produce hybrids (can I interest you in a boysenberry?). And of course, we select our crops for breeding from those with the most desirable traits, effectively encouraging genetic mutations that would have otherwise resulted in natural failure, if not helped along by human hands. Corn as we know it, for example, would never have survived in nature without our help in breeding it. Using that as a justification for genetic meddling, however, is like saying we know that NASCAR drivers dont need seatbelts because kids have been building soapbox racers without them for years. Nature, had the mix not been near ideal to begin with, would have prevented such crossbreeding. Despite Hollywoods desires, one cant simply crossbreed a human and a fly, or even a bee and a mosquito, for that matter their genetics are too different to naturally mix. And even if it did somehow occur, if it did not make for a hardier result, then natural selection would have quickly kicked in. No, I am talking about real, scientific genetic mucking the kind we imagined would result in the destruction of the world from giant killer tomatoes or man-eating cockroaches in our B-grade science-fiction films. Radiation mutants. Enterprising agrarians have been blasting plants with radiation of all sorts ever since we starting messing around with atomic science at the dawn of the 20th century. In the 1920s, just when Einstein and Fermi were getting in their grooves, Dr. Lewis Stadler at the University of Missouri was busy blasting barley seeds with X-rays research that would usher in a frenzy of mutation breeding to follow. With the advent of nuclear technology from the war effort, X-rays expanded into atomic radiation, with the use of gamma rays leading the pack. The United States even actively encouraged the practice for decades, through a program dubbed Atoms for Peace that proliferated nuclear technology throughout various parts of the private sector in a hope that it would improve the lives of many. And it did. Today, thousands of agricultural varieties we take for granted including, according to a 2007 New York Times feature on the practice, rice, wheat, barley, pears, peas, cotton, peppermint, sunflowers, peanuts, grapefruit, sesame, bananas, cassava and sorghum are a direct result of mutation breeding. They would not be classified as GM foods, in the sense that we did not use modern transgenic techniques to make them, but they are genetically altered nonetheless, to the same or greater degree than most modern GMO strains. Unlike modern GM foods which are often closely protected by patents and armies of lawyers to ensure the inventing companies reap maximum profits from their use the overwhelming majority of the original generations of radiation-mutated plant varieties came out of academic and government sponsored research, and thus were provided free and clear for farmers to use without restriction. With the chemical revolution of the mid-20th century, radiation-based mutations were followed by the use of chemical agents like the methyl sulfate family of mutagens. And after that, the crudest forms of organic genetic manipulation came into use, such as the uses of transposons, highly repetitive strands of DNA discovered in 1948 that can be used like biological duct tape to cover whole sections the genome. These modified crops stood up better to pests, lessened famines, reduced reliance on pesticides, and most of all enabled farmers to increase their effective yields. Coupled with the development of commercial machinery like tractors and harvesters, the rise of mutagenic breeding resulted in an agricultural revolution of a magnitude few truly appreciate. In the late 1800s, the overwhelming majority of global populations lived in rural areas, and most people spent their lives in agrarian pursuits. From subsistence farmers to small commercial operations, the majority of the population of every country, the US included, was employed in agriculture. Today, less than 2% of the American population (legal and illegal combined) works in farming of any kind. Yet we have more than enough food to feed all of our people, and a surplus to export to more densely populated nations like China and India. The result is that a sizable percentage of the worlds plant crops today the ones on top of which much of the modern-era GMO experiments are done are already genetic mutants. Hence the slippery slope that serves as the foundation of the resistance from regulators over the labeling of GM food products. Where do you draw the line on what to label? And frankly, how do you even know for sure, following the Wild-West days of blasting everything that could grow with some form or another of radiation, what plants are truly virgin DNA? The worlds public is largely unaware that many of the foods they eat today far more than those targeted by anti-GMO protestors and labeling advocates are genetically modified. Yet we dont seem to be dying off in large numbers, like the anti-RNAi researchers project will happen. In fact, global lifespans have increased dramatically across the board in the last century. The science of GM food has advanced considerably since the dark ages of the 1920s. Previous versions of mutation breeding were akin to trying to fix a pair of eyeglasses with a sledgehammer messy and imprecise, with rare positive results. And the outputs of those experiments were often foisted upon a public without any knowledge or understanding of what they were consuming. Modern-day GM foods are produced with a much more precise toolset, which means less unintended collateral damage. Of course it also opens up a veritable Pandoras box of new possibilities (glow-in-the-dark corn, anyone?) and with it a whole host of potential new risks. Like any sufficiently powerful technology, such as the radiation and harsh chemicals used in prior generations of mutation breeding, without careful control over its use, the results can be devastating. This fact is only outweighed by the massive improvements over the prior, messier generation of techniques. And thus, regulatory regimes from the FDA to CSIRO to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) are taking increasing steps to ensure that GM foods are thoroughly tested long before they come to market. In many ways, the tests are far more rigorous than those that prescription drugs undergo, as the target population is not sick and in need of urgent care, and for which side effects can be tolerated. This is why a great many of the proposed GM foods of the last 20 years, including the controversial suicide seeds meant to protect the intellectual property of the large GM seed producers like Monsanto (which bought out Calgene, the inventor of that Flavr Savr tomato, and is now the 800-lb. gorilla of the GM food business), were never allowed to market. Still, with the 15 years from 1996 to 2011 seeing a 96-fold increase in the amount of land dedicated to growing GM crops and the incalculable success of the generations of pre-transgenic mutants before them, scientists and corporations are still in a mad sprint to find the next billion-dollar GM blockbuster. In doing so they are seeking tools that make the discovery of such breakthroughs faster and more reliable. With RNAi, they may just have found one such tool. If it holds true to its laboratory promises, its benefits will be obvious from all sides. Unlike previous generations of GMO, RNAi-treated crops do not need to be permanently modified. This means that mutations which outlive their usefulness, like resistance to a plague which is eradicated, do not need to live on forever. This allows companies to be more responsive, and potentially provides a big relief to consumers concerned about the implications of eating foods with permanent genetic modifications. The simple science of creating RNAi molecules is also attractive to people who develop these new agricultural products, as once a messenger RNA is identified, there is a precise formula to tell you exactly how to shut it off, potentially saving millions or even billions of dollars that would be spent in the research lab trying to figure out exactly how to affect a particular genetic process. And with the temporary nature of the technique, both the farmers and the Monsantos of the world can breathe easily over the huge intellectual-property questions of how to deal with genetically altered seeds. Not to mention the questions of natural spread of strains between farms who might not want GMO crops in their midst. Instead of needing to engineer in complex genetic functions to ensure progeny dont pass down enhancements for free and that black markets in GMO seeds dont flourish, the economic equation becomes as simple as fertilizer: use it or dont. While RNAi is not a panacea for GMO scientists it serves as an off switch, but cannot add new traits nor even turn on dormant ones the dawn of antisense techniques is likely to mean an even further acceleration of the science of genetic meddling in agriculture. Its tools are more precise even than many of the most recent permanent genetic-modification methods. And the temporary nature of the technique the ability to apply it selectively as needed versus breeding it directly into plants which may not benefit from the change decades on is sure to please farmers, and maybe even consumers as well. That is, unless the scientists in Australia are proven correct, and the siRNAs used in experiments today make their way into humans and affect the same genetic functions in us as they do in the plants. The science behind their assertions still needs a great deal of testing. Much of their assertion defies the basic understanding of how siRNA molecules are delivered an incredibly difficult and delicate process that has been the subject of hundreds of millions of dollars of research thus far, and still remains, thanks to our incredible immune systems, a daunting challenge in front of one of the most promising forms of medicine (and now of farming too). Still, their perspective is important food for thought and likely fuel for much more debate to come. After all, even if you must label your products as containing GMO-derived ingredients, does that apply if you just treated an otherwise normal plant with a temporary, consumable, genetic on or off switch? In theory, the plant which ends up on your plate is once again genetically no different than the one which would have been on your plate had no siRNAs been used during its formative stages. Technology is the largest sector of the US economy right now but that doesnt make selecting the best investments any easier. Not only must a new development get regulatory approval, it has to cross the chasm the dangerous zone between early adopters picking it up and the mainstream accepting it. Learn how to choose the tech most likely to achieve this, and youll be on your way to windfall gains. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: linkwithin_text=Related Articles: 
3	New Bill In Congress Would Ban Private Citizens From Owning Body ArmorMichael Snyder The bill that I am talking about is H.R. 5344 (The Responsible Body Armor Possession Act), and you can view the proposed legislation for yourself right here. The driving force behind this new law is Democrat Mike Honda from California. To Honda, it doesnt matter that large numbers of very responsible Americans have purchased body armor to protect themselves and their families in a society that is rapidly decaying. Instead, it makes perfect sense to Honda to ban body armor because access to military-grade body armor emboldens criminals and mass shooters to act. And Honda wants to make possession of body armor a criminal offense with a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. This is absolutely crazy, and it is yet another example of the police state mentality that is so prevalent among our politicians these days. When I first learned about this new law, I could hardly believe it. But it is actually true. The following is an excerpt from a news storyabout the introduction of this new bill Honda, speaking at a news conference in San Jose Wednesday morning with police chiefs and the district attorneys and sheriffs from Santa Clara and Alameda counties, said his proposal would discourage criminals from wearing enhanced body armor to commit mass shootings. This bill will keep military body armor out of the wrong hands, Honda said. It would ensure that only law enforcement, firefighters and other first responders would be able to access enhanced body armor. Fortunately, it is incredibly tough to get just about anything accomplished in Congress these days, so the odds of this bill ever becoming law are probably pretty low. But without a doubt those that are attempting to systematically disarm the American people will just keep on trying. And we need to be vigilant, because history has shown what happens when entire populations are disarmed. All we have to do is look back at the millions that were killed under Nazi Germany or the tens of millions that were killed under the communist Chinese. Of course one of the greatest examples of this phenomenon was what happened under Joseph Stalin asSimon Black recently explained He topped it off in 1929 by serving a decisive blow to anyone that would dare to oppose him by outlawing private gun ownership in the country. From that year on until 1953 when Stalin died, its estimated that more than 20 million Soviet citizens that were seen as a threat to the countrys leadership. Many Americans are tempted to believe that it is impossible for that kind of tyranny to happen in our day and age, but the truth of the matter is that America is becoming more like Nazi Germany with each passing day. For example, the Department of Homeland Security recently raided dozens of families all over the nation because they imported unsafe vehicles Why in the world are armed Homeland Security agents roaming the countryside hunting down vehicles that dont conform to federal regulations? That is absolutely absurd. But this is the kind of society that we now live in. In a recent article, John W. Whitehead shared some more examples of how our control freak bureaucrats are ruining our society AConnecticut mother was charged with leaving her 11-year-old daughter in the car unsupervised while she ran inside a storedespite the fact that the child asked to stay in the car and was not overheated or in distress. A few states away, a New Jersey man was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of his children after leaving them in a car parked in a police station parking lot, windows rolled down, while he ran inside to pay a ticket. A Virginia teenager was charged with violating the states sexting law after exchanging sexually provocative videos with his girlfriend. Instead of insisting that the matter be dealt with as a matter of parental concern, police charged the boy with manufacturing and distributing child pornography and issued a search warrant to medically induce an erection in the 17-year-old boy in order to photograph his erect penis and compare it to the images sent in the sexting exchange. The police had already taken an initial photograph of the boys penis against his will, upon his arrest. In Georgia, atoddler had his face severely burned when a flash bang grenade, launched by a SWAT team during the course of a no-knock warrant, landed in his portable crib, detonating on his pillow. Also in Georgia, apolice officer shot and killed a 17-year-old boy who answered the door, reportedly with a Nintendo Wii controller in his hands. The cop claimed the teenager pointed a gun at her, thereby justifying the use of deadly force. Then there was the incident wherein a police officer, responding to a complaint that some children were chopping off tree limbs creating tripping hazards,pulled a gun on a group of 11-year-old boys who were playing in a wooded area, attempting to build a tree fort. For many more examples like this, please see my previous article entitled 30 Signs That America Is Being Transformed Into A Big Brother Police State. The United States was supposed to be a beacon of liberty and freedom for the entire globe. Instead, we are going to end up looking just like North Korea eventually if we are not careful. Our freedoms and liberties are being eroded a little bit more with each passing day. And if the American people dont start standing up and objecting to all of this craziness, the control freaks are going to feel empowered to keep on pushing the envelope even further.

Even worse, she disrespected many parents and children suffering with autism. Earlier this week, Melania Trump announced she is considering filing a lawsuit against claims that her son is on the spectrumnoting her son does not suffer from the disorder. Now, in spite of mass criticism for her comments and accusations, ODonnell is actually trying to defend them. Here is how it went down, Rosie wrote in a message to her fans. My 3.5 year old daughter Dakota was diagnosed in September with HFA- high functioning autism. I have been immersed in that world/reality since learningreadingasking questions. Its all autismall the time for the newly diagnosed. As we try to grab onto anything to keep us standing, the knowledge we are not alone; there are others living this too. Thats when she tried to argue this whole thing was nothing against the President-elect. But this autism subjecthad nothing to do with Donald, though I admit he does trigger me in all waysI have no ill will for his childrenor any childrenand if you knew anything about meyou would know that. What do you think? Is Rosie just spinning a web of lies? 
3	Are the Globalists Outmatched By Humanitys Greatness?Bernie Suarez, Contributor One thing the global elite couldnt account for however is the power of life, the magic that is being human, and the greatness that lies within each and every person. No doubt this spiritual energy, quest for freedom and drive to thrive that exists in every person has presented problems for tyrants throughout history. Likewise, this present-day struggle for freedom and individual sovereignty has awakened the giant that lives inside of every person. The awakening is about more than just understanding what is happening; the global and individual political awakening manifests itself in a drive and desire to take action and change the physical world around us. It turns out that humans as a whole never give up, and the fires of freedom will always burn. This fire is a manifestation of nature. More than ever before people are coming together from all walks of life. Untelevised revolutions all around the world continue as people everywhere are demanding their rights. People are awakened to the dirty deeds of the few at the very top and they are very willing to put up a fight. History has shown us that tyranny and fascism can only be sustained temporarily on humanity before the flames of freedom fight back. Lets hold on to this knowledge and find ways to complete this self fulfilling prophesy of global fascisms death. From a racketeering and money laundering lawsuit that names government officials, to the California proposition (Prop 37) to be voted on that would expose and require labeling of genetically modified foods to exposing voter fraud and corruption, humanity is now observing a slow incremental paradigm shift. Its all happening very slowly but the rate of human recovery is accelerating. From the rumors of mass arrests to the exposing anti-Iran propaganda designed to instigate more wars, its all culminating into a long-awaited turning point. This is a manifestation of the greatness that is humanity. Unfortunately the globalist (eugenicists) would have you believe that humanity is worthless; a bunch of useless eaters consuming the resources that belong to them. They would have you believe that you have no value except perhaps whatever labor can be extracted out of you for profit. Even at a time when TSA is being exposed for its corruption and criminality; a time when false flag terror and staged mass shootings are now being exposed in real-time, the mass corporate-owned media is slowly losing all credibility; and we are at a time when the current presidential administration and political system are being fully exposed as rings of criminality and fraud. We must tighten the noose around the necks of the perpetrators who seek to control the world. Amazingly, humanity comes with a naturally endowed greatness. Its the ability to think critically and the determination to put those thoughts into action; it is the expression of the unique personalities we have and the unique skills that makes every person uniquely special and thus uniquely useful to the cause of healing humanity and bringing us to a new level of consciousness. As we move forward to the next page of history, this diversity of humanity is important to our survival. The oligarchs had plans for a New American Century of global tyrannical domination of the world; however, evidence now shows this was an overreach in aspiration an unrealistic fantasy from the minds of people who thought they could play god and control humanity. The globalists realize their time is running out. Having clearly miscalculated what humanity was capable of, the lesson here is to never underestimate the power and the greatness of humanity; this greatness is being manifested every day and is in the early phase. No need to watch movies to see goodness defeat evil when we have the greatest theater of all: reality.

3	Why This Former Atheist Now Goes to ChurchBy Adam Kokesh Pantheism is the belief that the Universe (or nature as the totality of everything) is identical with divinity (Wiki). Atheism does not need a singular perfect supreme being to represent divinity. Atheists understand that the Dao of Nature is a continuum without a beginning or an end; not necessarily a supreme human creator of all but life sustained and maintained ad infinitum. It is okay to not believe in god and yet be at one with nature. Nature does not require human worship nor dues to be paid, guilt trips to be laid, politicians to represent it or an alternative media to explain it. Nature is as nature does; a grand mystery that needs no name. god is just a word. An Atheist by definition, implies the antipode- GOD.How about just accepting ourselves as an eternal aspect (wave crest) of (spiritual) infinite Consciousness .having a very temporary stay here on Earth in 3-D. Youd think this was an Adan Coquette (pun) reality TV show ..airing out his transitional state of mind lately for all to seeGet centered Adam then tell us about it laterright now you dont know whether to Flip Flop or Fly (imo) Yes. It ill be interesting to see how Mr. Kokesh develops as his following grows especially with the kids as they begin to discover him, and take their spring breaks or summer internships at Freedom Ranch. When those kids begin to make a life, and they choose Ash Fork, AZ as their own homesteading locale, whereas Kokeshville starts going viral, then we are going to see some action. Yavapai Co. will get interesting. It will take one intelligently planned Anarchi-zona festival up in Flagstaff in the summer to kick it off. Then, from that, if it becomes a recurring annual event.

3	Tension ahead of Pyongyang Missile TestThe Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite will be launched southward from the Sohae satellite launch station in Cholsan County, North Phyongan Province, using a long-range Unha-3 rocket. As Barack Obama and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak insinuate that Pyongyangs upcoming satellite launch is a pretext to expand a program of nuclear terrorism [3], North Korea has invited the space agencies of eight countries, including Japan, the United States, China and Russia, and the European Space Agency to observe the launch [4]. While North Korea attempts to assure the transparency of its space program to the international community, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency have both declined the invitation from Pyongyang [5]. The upcoming launch of the Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite coincides with the 100thanniversary of North Koreas founding deity, Kim il-Sung. Both Japan [23] and South Korea [24] have vowed to intercept the Unha-3 rocket using AEGIS warships if it flies over the countrys territories. Pyongyang insists the launch does not violate any UN resolutions, following a Foreign Ministry spokesman who assured the international community that North Korea will never give up the launch of a satellite for peaceful purposes. [25] The double standards imposed on North Korea remain ever apparent, as the international community remains silent as South Korea expands its arsenal of advanced military technology in an effort to become the worlds seventh largest arm exporter [26]. South Korea intends to import 60 fighter jets from Boeing with an enormous budget of $7.3 billion [27] and has recently agreed to an American Bunker Buster explosives arms agreement valued at $71 million [28], while North Korean ballistic technology appears to be constructed from components of Soviet origin suspected to be largely obsolete; analysts such as David Wright of the Union of Concerned Scientists point out that the engines on the Norths Unha-2 launcher are based on Soviet technology developed in 1964 [29]. Upon closer examination, the threat on the Korean Peninsula is not as one-sided as the Washington consensus claims. Although the Obama administration would like to appear as if they are in command of the situation on the Korean Peninsula, their actions indicate the limited leverage they have to affect the situation. The threat of North Korea has proven itself to be a valuable pretext for the continued presence of US military personnel in both South Korea and Japan. The US has worked to further marginalize North Korea to contain China, as construction begins for a controversial $970 million joint military base on South Koreas Jeju Island [33], which would host up to 20 American and South Korean warships, including submarines, aircraft carriers and destroyers once completed in 2014. An influx of foreign currency has ensured Pyongyangs stability under its new leadership as China secures contracts to extract North Koreas vast natural resources such as iron ore and coal, roughly valued at $6.1 trillion as of 2008 [35]. The US will continue to exploit the new regimes eagerness to prove itself to the populace, as reports issued by the Council on Foreign Relations indicate its long-term program. The 2009 document entitled Preparing for Sudden Change in North Korea [36] advocates a military contingency plan involving the stationing of up to 460,000 foreign soldiers into a post-regime North Korea to its capture nuclear arms and ballistic missiles. The document also highlights the need to form a compliant transitional government acquiescent to market liberalization and privatization. As the potential for debilitating conflict on the Korean Peninsula remains ever present, the international community must approach Pyongyang with increased diplomacy and embrace its attempts at transparency in whichever medium.

2	BREAKING: NRA Just Announced THIS Major Victory Over Obama Its no secret that Obama has been on a mission to take down the second amendment ever since he took office. Unfortunately for him, the NRA is standing up for the rights of Americans. We are pleased that we have been able to reverse a bureaucratic nightmare that would have jeopardized the freedoms of law-abiding gun owners, Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRAs Institute for Legislative Action told reporters. The statement came after the Obama administration attempted to pass regulation that would require hunters and sport shooters traveling international to meet commercial export requirements with their guns. It is clear that in the final years of his presidency, President Obama will stop at nothing to push his gun control agenda, Cox concluded. Have you had enough of Obama pushing his own agenda? 
1	According to survey results released Monday by the American Panhandlers Association, less than one percent of U.S. pedestrians gots 50 cent for the bus. 'Despite the current economic boom, we found that the average man on the street don't got 50 cent to spare for the bus,' said Nate Braxton, president of the Detroit-based APA, the nation's largest coalition of beggars, itinerants, and street loons. 'Exactly why he don't got no change is puzzling. After all, given the robust state of the American economy, you'd think he got a little something extra to help a man get 'cross town.' In the survey, APA members in 15 major U.S. cities expressed their bus-fare needs to more than 2,700 pedestrians on the sidewalks of busy downtown areas, on park benches, and in the glass-enclosed entryways of McDonald's restaurants. In 99.7 percent of the cases, the pedestrian replied that they sorry, but they ain't got even a quarter. 'What up with that?' Braxton asked. 'Wall Street havin' one of the biggest sustained bull markets in history, but ain't nobody got change so I can get to my job over on the West Side? Where all the money at?' Ray-Ray, an APA researcher who manned a downtown Atlanta street corner for 120 hours in January, found that not only does virtually no one got 50 cent for the D line, man, ain't hardly nobody who can even spare a little change toward gettin' something to eat. 'I made it clear to the people I approached that I sure would appreciate whatever they got, even if it ain't much,' Ray-Ray said. 'I also made it clear that the money ain't for booze or no drugs. But still, no luck. Apparently, can't nobody help a fella out.' 'If a man can't even scrounge up a little change for the bus,' Ray-Ray continued, 'what the odds he got enough money to get me to Cleveland or help pay for my baby's operation?' According to experts, the dearth of spare change in Americans' pockets may be a troubling indicator of economic hardship to come. 'Much like during the Roaring '20s, Americans are living in the now, spending money as quickly as they earn it,' said economist Randall Farber of the Wharton School of Business. 'They got they fancy leather shoes and leather briefcase, but they ain't even got a haf dollar in cash to they name. With so few people budgeting with an eye toward the future, a collapse seems all but inevitable.' Despite the ominous economic forecast, Braxton said he is trying to focus on the positive. 'True, it nearly impossible to find a dude with 50 cent to spare,' Braxton said, 'but statistical data reveal that nearly three percent of pedestrians got between five and ten cent to go towards a new pair of shoes if the APA member's old ones shot, and that the average amount donated doubled when the member explain that the shoes needed so he could do the work this guy Ed Wilson lined up for him.' Pleased with the success of its research, if not the results, the APA will conduct another survey later this year concerning the alarmingly poor time-management skills of pedestrians. 'While attempting to collect demographic information from pedestrians in our study, such as where they from or where they headed, we discovered that very few Americans got a minute to come over and talk,' Braxton said. 'In fact, some were so rushed and time-stressed, they couldn't even spare a moment to acknowledge that we aksed them a question.' 
3	Doctor: Theres Not Enough PANIC and Customers to Make an Ebola Vaccine Oh Really?Melissa Melton (Trusting the ingredients of such a thing and whether or not you would personally take it is another matter entirely, but hold on a second.) Whats fascinating about this clip is what Dr. Ben Neuman, University of Reading, says towards the end. Neuman explains that because viruses easily mutate, Its not just one drug we need for Ebola. We need a cocktail of drugs and perhaps a nice vaccine that could be used. Hm. Sounds like a Big Pharma hay day pay day, does it not? But Dr. Ben also goes on to explain why the major pharmaceutical companies havent been all that eager to produce this cocktail of drugs and vaccines which would surely translate to big bucks just yet. These all take a lot of money and right now in the history of what we know at least, there have been fewer than 5,000 people who have been infected with Ebola. It sounds scary, but I dont know that theres enoughuhpanic or enough people who are potential customers for these drugs to warrant a company a private company anyway putting the money it would take to develop this. [emphasis added] Did you catch that? (Yeah, I know you did, thats why I added the emphasis.) Watch the video. The good doctor even struggles to find his words before he says he isnt sure there is enough panic and customers to warrant developing a vaccine. This is despite the fact that articles were coming out in scientific circles back in 2008 that Ebola vaccines had been successfully used in animal trials and even on one human patient, a lab worker who accidentally pricked her finger with an Ebola-laced syringe. Theres not enough panic to go any further with it, though? Well, gee Ben, where can we get some panic from? This video reveals two fundamental truths. One: pharmaceuticals and vaccines really arent about saving livesoh no, first and foremost, theyre about making money. Two: there has to be enough panic to stir up potential customers to necessitate the creation of said pharmaceuticals and vaccines and there just simply was not enough Ebola panic to go around to make it worth it. Wellthere certainly is enough pricey panic now, isnt there? Its a concerted effort. As I wrote earlier in an article questioning this sudden media zoo surrounding Ebola and why, in an unprecedented move, were suddenly shipping people infected with Ebola here for the first time ever, a lot of people in the military-medical-media industrial complex stand to make a lot of money off of this virus. And, right on time, Reuters is reporting that theyre going to fast track a new Ebola vaccine and start testing on human patients as early as next month. Was that quick or what? The Hegelian Dialectic is such a timeless strategy. Why? Because it works. So they just keep using it over and over and over. Problem: not enough panic to make the big bucks off Ebola. Reaction: create a panic to make the big bucks off Ebola. Solution: problem solved. Its basically the same strategy they used to pawn off fast tracked, experimental H1N1 vaccines on people just a few years ago, only this time theyre playing with a much scarier virus to induce even more fear.

3	Kids Get 7 Trillion Calories of Sugar from Cancer-Causing Beverages Each YearLisa Garber Dr. Steven Gortmaker, Director of the Harvard School of Public Health Prevention Research Center, recently presented these statistics at the Obesity Societys Annual Scientific Meeting in San Antonio. Amidst protests from consumer rights die-hards and the beverage lobby, Gortmaker is urging the government to keep away sodas and sugary drinks from children, in the vein of Bostons 2004 ban of selling sodas at public schools. According to Gortmaker, the kids calorie consumption has gone down by 45 calories, just the level you need to start flattening out the obesity epidemic, if not to start turning it all around. Mayor Michael Bloombergs ban on the sale of sugary drinks in containers bigger than 16 ounces in New York City is still fresh on the publics mind. The beverage lobbywith the $24 billion in sales made to children fresh on their mindexpressed its displeasure thusly: We know, and science supports, that obesity is not uniquely caused by any single food or beverage. Thus, studies and opinion pieces that focus solely on sugar-sweetened beverages, or any other single source of calories, do nothing meaningful to help address this serious issue. The beverage lobby is not wrong in stating that not one single source of calories is responsible, but they must be part of the dialogue in helping Americans regain healthy weights. Sodas are often sweetened in the United States with GMO corn-derived and mercury-containing high-fructose corn syrupa sugar that a UCLA study recently pegged as feeding pancreatic cancer cells more rapidly than glucose or sucrose. Soda may also harnesses another cancer-causing chemical called caramel food coloring, which could be causing lung, liver, and thyroid cancer. Whats more, soda and sugary drinks are linked to obesity on a genetic level. Parents might think about cutting back, too. Regular consumption of sugary beverages may amplify the genetic risk of obesity. In addition, individuals with greater genetic predisposition to obesity appear to be more susceptible to harmful effects of SSBs on BMI, say the authors. And in the midst of all this trash-talk on soda, people are wonder: Is diet soda bad for you? Unfortunately, going sugar-free doesnt help either, since artificial sweeteners feed cancer cells as much as other sugars Additionally, these artificial sweeteners like aspartame are linked to kidney health decline, heart attack and stroke, obesity, and damaged DNA. The bottom line? We owe our future generations more than our own instant gratification. Additional Sources: Explore More: 
2	Vengeful Prison Inmate Does THIS To Colorado Shooter James Holmes James Holmes, 27 years old, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 12 and wounding of 70. Holmes is completely separated from the rest of the prison inmates. This didnt stop an inmate from getting to him. An inmate attacked Holmes and the guard that was with him at the Colorado State Penitentiary. There has only been one execution in the state of Colorado since 1977. He should have been the second. This will not be the last time an inmate gets to Holmes. It is unfortunate that an officer was hurt in the process. Do you think Holmes deserves the assault?

2	BREAKING: US State Department Issues Terrifying Warning Not long after the deadly terrorist attack at an airport in Istanbul, Turkey, the director of the CIA issued a terror warning to Americans that is worth paying attention to. Immediately after the attack, CIA Director John Brennan spoke out with claims that the suicide bombings in Istanbul bore the signs of ISIS and should serve as a warning to Americans that the terrorist group is plotting to carry out similar attacks in the United States. Id be surprised if [ISIS] is not trying to carry out that kind of attack in the United States, Brennan told reporters at Yahoo. He went on to say that the method of the attack perfectly fits the profile of ISIS. During the attack, three suicide bombers wearing explosive vests opened fire on passengers before blowing themselves up in the airports arrival area and a nearby parking lot. 41 people were killed in the attack and another 239 were injured. The attack closely mirrors the ISIS bombings at the Brussels Airport just three months earlier. I am worried from the standpoint of an intelligence professional who looks at the capabilities of [ISIS]and their determination to kill as many people as possible and to carry out attacks abroad, Brennan concluded. What do you think? Is it time that Obama started taking these threats very seriously?

Gavin, as he states during the interview, found his spine at an illegal checkpoint in Texas. Gavin refused to show his ID, and subsequently blocked traffic for 15 minutes until he was released without producing a thing. The guy has guts, and sometimes guts is enough. I watched the first video linked below, and I knew right away that we needed to speak to Gavin on the radio. In the video, he pulls over a police officer and educates him on the illegality of his non-marked police patrol car. Rightfully, the video went viral and is a must-watch. In the video linked below, you can hear the full interview with Gavin recorded LIVE on The Liberty Brothers Radio Show.

3	As Free Expression Lines Blur Within EU Social Media Giants Vow To Tackle Hate SpeechBy Joseph Jankowski Beyond national laws that criminalize hate speech, there is a need to ensure such activity by Internet users is expeditiously reviewed by online intermediaries and social media platforms, upon receipt of a valid notification, in an appropriate time-frame, the companies and the European Commission said in a joint statement on Tuesday. The companies claim thatit remains a challenge to strike a balancebetween protecting freedom of expression and eliminating hate speech because of the user generated content on their platforms. Romain Dillet of Tech Crunch speculates that the social networks are trying to tackle hate speech to avoid responsibility. Dillet reports: Tech companies probably dont want to be held responsible for hate speech and are now taking a strong stance against hate speech. This is surprising as many social networks have promoted free expression and have refused to delete content or accounts in the past (except when it comes to copyrighted material). But its been a slow and steady change. Twitter has already suspended 125,000 accounts related to ISIS since mid-2015. Facebook already agreed to work with the German government against hateful speech back in September 2015. Google and Twitter later joined Facebook and the German government inDecember 2015. Now, four tech companies are making a formal pledge at the European level against hate speech. Twitters head of public policy for Europe, Karen White, said in astatement that the company remains committed to letting the Tweets flow, but there is a clear distinction between freedom of expression and conduct that incites violence and hate. Within the EU there has been numerous cases of individuals being arrested for hate speech and offensive language, which sparks concern over social networks becomingan arm of the politicalcorrectness police that now patrol the EU. In early May it was reported that YouTuberMarkus Meechan was arrested for a satire video where he trained his girlfriends dog to perform a Nazi salute when he says gas the Jews. When Scottish Police showed up at Meechanshouse they told him he was being arrested for hate crimes over the video. British police arrested a man in February for criticizingSyrian migrants on Facebook while promising that there would zero tolerance For Offence Online. Althoughnetworks like Twitter are saying that there will be an attempt to balance out freeexpression and what they consider to be dangerous, the fact that the lines have already been blurred between the two inside the EU is quite concerning. Image: PRODean Shareski/Flickr The question is, who defines what hate speech is and how do you defend yourself against the accusers? A) Whoevers in bed with big daddy government and b) you dont, you just avoid being accused. This is the way they want it. 
1	Following revelations this week that staffers under New Jersey Governor Chris Christie manipulated traffic in a small New Jersey town to punish its mayor, mortified Americans across the nation reported that they were shocked to learn the potential 2016 presidential candidate could possibly fumble such an easy political cover-up. Man, this guy wants to be President of the United States and he cant even conceal an act of corruption this rinky-dink and run-of-the-mill from voters? Its crazy, Newark resident Carolyn Baum said in agreement with millions of stunned Americans, adding that she holds potential presidential candidates to much higher standards of subterfuge and graft. I mean, this is a total softball. If he cant even bully one little small-town mayor into submission by oppressing his constituents and get away with it, how can we reasonably believe hes politically skilled enough to cover up national scandals like orchestrating a foreign war, illegally colluding with big business, or violating the civil liberties of millions of Americans? Its a little scary, to be honest. At press time, many Americans reported their faith in Christies presidential qualifications was somewhat restored after he released a series of statements pinning the blame on others and throwing top aides under the bus. 
1	After two months of fruitless searching, roommates Trevor Hyzer and Frank Janikowski said Monday that they would not stop looking until they found what they described as the 'holy grail' of sweet-ass shelves. 'Our upstairs neighbor had these wicked killer shelves that he promised we could have when he moved out, but then he decided to renew his lease,' said Hyzer, who initially thought that stacking plain wooden planks on top of cinderblocks might make for some kick-ass old-school shelves, but said they ultimately looked like lame, cheap-ass shelves. 'Then Frank ordered this bad-ass corner unit from IKEA, but they came with these gay little side-mount wall brackets. 'Some assembly required'? More like 'some dick-sucking required.'' Despite their lack of luck, the two remain confident that the super-fucking-mind-blowing, shit-your-pants-sweet shelves they seek are out there somewhere.

While powerless to counterattack, NASA pleaded with Spielberg and Gates to be more merciful with NASA equipment in the future. 'While we greatly respect the advances Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Gates have made with their privately funded space fleet, and we apologize for our unauthorized entrance into their orbit zone, we beseech them to share the solar system with us.' Spokespersons for Spielberg and Gates said the two ardent video-game enthusiasts were 'just playing.' 
2	Landlord Asks Veteran To Take Down Flag So Not To Offend Anybody According to reports from Fox News, an Iraq war veteran was recently asked by his property manager to take down an American flag that he hung from his California apartment for September 11. She wanted it to be removed so that it didnt offend anybody who didnt believe in the American flag, April Grossman, the veterans wife, told reporters. April claims that the manager should have worded her request very differently, given that the true issue was in a violation of a safety code that prevented residents from hanging anything from balconies. Could you just take it down, because nothing should be hung from the ceiling, and that wouldve been fine, April continued. Instead, the residents were told that the flag was offensive though management maintains that the word wasnt meant to be specific to the American flag. Our intent was not to offend anyone by enforcing the clearly stated policy within our lease agreement that is understood and agreed to by all residents, management claimed in a statement. But many residents believe that the veteran should have been granted an exception, especially given his time serving our country. We just wanted to show our support, thats all, Grossman concluded. To comply to with the lease agreement, they have now moved the flag to a pole.

3	Russia May Start Training Civilians to Deal With Nuclear AttackBy Joshua Krause After claiming that the US was upsetting the nuclear balance of power by developing new weapon systems, he suggested that the defense industry needs to keep up with our technology by putting more research and development into Russias nuclear arsenal. He further added that more measures should be added so that the population, if nonetheless they were subject to that kind of aggression, could avoid colossal losses. Civil defense should be recreated. This isnt too surprising given the fact Russia never really stopped preparing for a nuclear conflagration after the Cold War ended. Since in the early 90s theyve been building a massive bomb shelter in the Ural mountains, as well as thousands of smaller shelters in the outskirts of Moscow to protect the general population. Meanwhile, our government hasnt done anything to insulate the average American from the worst case scenario, and they consider preppers to be paranoid domestic terrorists. The contrast between how our government views nuclear war and how the Russian government views it, is absolutely stunning. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple.

2	Matthew McConaughey Takes Bold Stand For Biblical Marriage You Will Be Proud When it comes to politics and religion, Hollywood actors tend to go one of two ways: either completely silent or completely liberal. Taking any other route is a risky move for their careers. So it was a surprise when actor Matthew McConaughey came forward to discuss his views on marriage with GQ. While the majority of the interview focused on his strong career as an actor and his recent address at the Oscars where he thanked God, the subject of marriage also came up. McConcaughey has been married to Camila Alves since 2012. They have three young children, Levi, Vida and Livingston. The actor claims that the decision to marry was one that the couple took very seriously. We talked about it spiritually, McConcaughey told GQ. We did a lot of reading and talked to a lot of people that had been divorced, a lot of people that had been happily married. We talked to our pastor. In the end, our understanding was, Lets go make a covenant, with you, me, and God. What do you think of McConcaugheys comments on marriage? Do you support his views 100%? 
2	A Troubled Girl Is Dropped Off At Another Foster Home. But Who Comes To The Door? Inspiring Children often have many different emotions when they are dropped off into foster care. They can feel sad, lonely, unwanted. One feeling that is ubiquitous to most every foster child is a sense of anger. Theyre angry at their biological parents for abandoning them; theyre angry with the system for putting them in a new unfamiliar setting. And of course, theyre afraid. This spectrum of emotion is quite understandable when a child is uprooted so suddenly. The groundbreaking short film below, a film called ReMoved by Nathanial Matanick, tries to capture this violent emotional upheaval that these kids experience. It explores the emotional journey of a young girl, removed from her dysfunctional home, taken away from her baby brother who she longs to protect, and put into foster care. The film can be heartbreaking, but it gives us insight into the trauma that these children face at such a young age. It will probably make you cry, just a warning. The Santa Barbara independent wrote of Matanicks film: It would be impossible to fully understand the life and emotions of a child going through the foster care system, but this short narrative film portrays that saga in a poetic light, with brushes of fear, anger, sadness, and a tiny bit of hope. The little girl named Zoe (played by Abby White) is forced to deal with the terrifying acts of an abusive father, and a mother who is more interested in protecting her husband from being arrested than from protecting her children. The foster system that is supposed to save Zoe fails her time and time again. The child is despondent, and running out of hopeuntil a miraculous twist at the end brings the whole story together. What did you think of this story? Was it insightful? 
1	WILKES-BARRE, PALen Neuwirth, a marketing analyst with Penn Packaging Corporation from 2000 to 2002, expressed slight disappointment Monday over his failure to cause a stir among former coworkers during his return visit. Neuwirth stands outside his former place of employment. 'When I left Penn Packaging, everybody seemed really sorry to see me go,' said Neuwirth, 32, who left last November to take a similar position at Allied Plastics. 'I guess I kinda thought that when I finally made my first return visit after quitting, they'd all go nuts, and that maybe work would stop for a little while and stuff.' Neuwirth said he carefully planned his visit to be a surprise, hoping to maximize the impact of his triumphant return. Upon arriving at the office, Neuwirth asked new receptionist Darlene Cho, whom he had never met, to buzz Ted Arrington, one of his closest former coworkers. Neuwirth called Arrington's reaction 'somewhat of a letdown.' 'When Ted came out to the lobby, he seemed happy enough to see me, but he didn't scream or anything,' Neuwirth said. 'We chatted for a few minutes, which was nice, but I was sort of hoping he'd get all excited and go running off to find a bunch of other people, telling them, 'You're not going to believe who just walked in!'' After Arrington excused himself to go back to work, Neuwirth spent several minutes hanging around the receptionist's area, making small talk with Cho while hoping for someone familiar to walk past. When no one did, he decided to head deeper into the office, where more underwhelming reactions awaited him. 'The only person who seemed excited was Shannon Ridgeley,' Neuwirth said. 'She gave me a big hug and asked me all these questions, but she's one of those super-chipper people who makes a big deal when the FedEx guy shows up.' Added Neuwirth: 'I bet Andy [Dodd] would've given me more of a reaction. Too bad he was out sick.' Neuwirth said he was planning to take his former colleagues to lunch, but they had already placed an order for takeout. 'I came by the office at 11:30 so I could get people before they left for lunch,' Neuwirth said. 'Apparently, there was some sort of big project due, so everyone ordered in.' Throughout the visit, Neuwirth kept an eye out for remnants of his tenure there, only to find none. 'There used to be a funny sign I did for the kitchen, so I wanted to see if that was still up,' Neuwirth said. 'It was, but somebody put a sign over it reminding people to wash their coffee cups. Even gag gifts I'd given people over the years were gone. Oh, well, I guess you gotta keep the office clean.' Neuwirth spent much of his visit in the conference room, trying to catch up with former coworkers as they ate lunch. 'For most of the time, they just talked about this project they were working on,' Neuwirth said. 'I sat there listening, but I had no idea what they were talking about. Finally, after a half-hour, I decided to split.' Dr. Harvey Garrett, author of Coworkers For Life, said people often have unrealistically high expectations when returning to visit a former place of employment. 'In this day and age, few workplace environments foster the kind of social bonds that would cause employees to feel elation over the sight of an old coworker,' Garrett said. 'Most people are just cordial enough with their coworkers to make the situation tolerable. Since no strong bond is formed, it's hard for people to get worked up about somebody's return.' 'I should know, because it happened to me when I dropped in on my old sociology-department colleagues at Colgate [University],' Garrett said. 'I might as well have been the woman who worked in the faculty cafeteria.' 
1	Saying it represented the most efficient use of the panels time, members of the House Select Committee on Benghazi instructed Hillary Clinton on Thursday to limit her answers to I failed the American people. We are going to ask that you confine your remarks today to I failed the American people, or variations such as I am to blame for this atrocity or There is innocent blood on my hands, said chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC), explaining that the committee and the nation as a whole were solely interested in testimony in which the former secretary of state succinctly accepted all blame for the 2012 attacks that left four Americans dead. In order to ensure we get the information we need, its vital that you simply and repeatedly own up to your criminal lapse in judgment, though you are free to declare yourself responsible for other disastrous failures of the U.S. government if you wish. At press time, committee members were instructing Clinton to simply say that she was withdrawing from the 2016 presidential campaign.

1	Several members of New York Knicks management expressed bewilderment Thursday as to why Chauncey Billups would openly express a desire to return for a second season with the organization. 'He knows this is the New York Knicks, right? said team president Donnie Walsh, explaining he was skeptical of Billups request and outlining a list of reasons why, which included outdated facilities, an unreliable fan base, and his recent managerial track record. 'He must have meant the Nets. They have a new arena, they have Jay-Z Yeah, he probably meant the Nets.' After several phone calls to ask Billups if he 'was positive' and 'wasnt just messing around,' Knicks management immediately picked up the 34-year-old point guard's option for next year and began negotiating a 10-year, $140 million extension.

2	Hillary Clinton Feuds With The New York Times: Back Off According to recent reports, a group of key aides to Hillary Clinton attended a closed-door meeting with a New York Times editor and reporter, with the intentions of complaining about what they considered unfair coverage by the paper. Phillipe Reines and Huma Abedin, wife of Anthony Weiner, met with representatives of the NY Times Washington bureau to issue their complaints. Those attending for the Times included Carolyn Ryan and Amy Chozick, the reporter who frequently covers Clinton. According to an unnamed source, Clintons representatives complained that coverage of Hillary was inappropriate as she was not in public office. Although many speculate that Clinton will run for president in the next election, her reps claim that she is not currently a candidate, and therefore should not be subjected to public scrutiny from the paper. Neither of the parties who attended the meeting would comment on the topics discussed. Apparently, the topic that spurred the conversation was the feud between Chelsea Clintons mother-in-law, Marjorie Margolies, and the entire Clinton family. Although Clintons representatives claim she shouldnt be in the spotlight, the former secretary of state has been campaigning and making appearances across the nation. She has been putting herself in the public light.

During a rally in Nashville, TN, Trump shocked the crowd by claiming that the Obama administration treats illegal immigrants better than military veterans. His comments were made at the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. Read his full statement as reported below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Trump? Speaking in Nashville at a National Federation of Republican Assemblies event, Trump said that illegal immigrants, in many casesnot in all cases, but in many casesare treated better than our veterans, who are the greatest people we have. Trump spoke about some of the horrors veterans have had to face in accessing basic medical care and services and vowed that veterans would be treated like first-class citizens under a Trump administration. After mentioning that illegal immigrants and DREAMers were protesting outside of the event, Trump asked, What about our children? Why cant our children that are in the country Why cant they be the dreamers? Trump added, nobody ever talks about them we talk about the DREAMERs we talk about the illegal immigrants, who, by the way, are treated better than the vets. 
2	Youll Never Believe How Low Hillary Clintons Approval Ratings Have Dropped It seems that every day marks another public appearance from Hillary Clinton, who is attempting to clean up her reputation among rumors that she has intentions to run for president. Polls, however, tell us that she is actually losing support, rather than gaining it. Some of the strongest criticism stems from Hillarys role and involvement in the Benghazi attacks that violently took the lives of four American. Both Hillary and Obama are being publicly accused of not helping the group reach safety, despite ample warning that violence may occur. They are yet to take accountability. Instead, the White House has suggested that the attacks were related to a video that was uploaded by a Untied States citizen, rather than admitting that the incident was a terrorist attack. Eventually, Hillary was forced to own up to the fact that the video had no relation to the incident. Clinton has also stood by Obamas decision to release give Taliban leaders in exchange for U.S. deserter Bergdahl. Clintons approval rating has dropped nearly 12% in the months since she has resigned from her post at the White House. 
1	According to numerous critics reports, an upcoming episode of HBOs hit comedy Girls features the shows star, Lena Dunham, losing control of her bowels during a routine gynecological exam while eating a large burrito. The scene is raw, its brave, and its the boldest thing weve seen Dunham do yet: a smart, unsanitized comedy of errors that perfectly captures the experience of being at the ob-gyn, said Huffington Post television critic Kia Makarechi of the envelope-pushing episode, wherein the burrito-eating Dunham elects to be examined completely nude because hospital gowns make her feel like shes dying of bone cancer or something and awkwardly flirts with the 55-year-old gynecologist before violently shitting herself and then asking if the doctor can prescribe her anything for her anxiety. When a naked Hannah dribbled hot sauce all over herself in front of the doctor, shit in every corner of the office, cried, became angry with the doctor, had sex with the doctor, finished her burrito, had sex with the doctor again, shit herself again, and then realized who she was really angry at and sexually attracted to was Adam, I just closed my eyes and said, Thank you. These are real girls with real bodies doing things that real girls do. At press time, fans were abuzz after a tweet from Dunham hinted at an all-nude third season.

2	New Legislation Passed Finally To Stop The Islamic Brainwashing In U.S. Schools Finally, there is some good news coming to Christians in our country. According to recent reports, the House has just taken a stand against Islamic indoctrination in schools by introducing Bill 1418. The legislation takes the concept of separation of church and state and uses it to limit the power of groups like the Council on American Islamic Relations, as well as pro-Atheism movements. This is a relief to Christians who feel like they have been carrying the majority of the weight of this forced separation. Now, it Christianity is going to be banned in schools, so will Islam. This comes at a time when, more than ever, we have seen children being pushed to learn about Islam and Muslim culture. It has even gone so far as girls being asked to dress up in hijab and students being forced to recite Muslim prayer. Fortunately, this bill will put a swift end to all of that. What do you think? Do you support this measure? 
3	California Sues JP Morgan for Fraudulent and Criminal Debt-Collection Practicesselfnews Post The suit alleges that Chase engaged in widespread, illegal robo-signing, among other unlawful practices, to commit debt-collection abuses against approximately 100,000 California credit card borrowers over at least a three-year period. Chase abused the judicial process and engaged in serious misconduct against California credit card borrowers, Attorney General Harris said. This enforcement action seeks to hold Chase accountable for systematically using illegal tactics to flood Californias courts with specious lawsuits against consumers. My office will demand a permanent halt to these practices and redress for borrowers who have been harmed. From January 2008 through April 2011, Chase filed thousands of debt collection lawsuits every month in the State of California. On one day alone, Chase filed 469 such lawsuits in California. The Attorney Generals complaint against Chase alleges that, to maintain this pace, Chase employed unlawful practices as shortcuts to obtain judgments against California consumers with speed and ease that could not have been possible if Chase had adhered to the minimum substantive and procedural protections required by law. At nearly every stage of the collection process, Defendants cut corners in the name of speed, cost savings, and their own convenience, providing only the thinnest veneer of legitimacy to their lawsuits, the complaint states. Chase used Californias judicial system as a mill to obtain default judgments, the suit alleges, using illegal tactics to flood the states court system in order to secure default judgments and garnish wages from Californians. The suit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and a copy of the complaint is attached to the online version of this release at http://oag.ca.gov. Or click here to directly access the complaint.

3	Its Time to Recalibrate Our Relationship with Saudi ArabiaBy Ron Paul By accepting only dollars for the sale of its oil, the Saudis help the dollar remain the worlds reserve currency. This has meant that we can export inflation, finance the warfare/welfare state, and delay our day of financial reckoning. But it seems this longstanding entangling alliance is coming apart. First, the US nuclear deal with Iran has infuriated the Saudis. They view Iran as bitter rivals and spared no expense in Washington to derail the deal. They were not successful at least not yet. They have also been frustrated that the US has not devoted more of its resources to the Saudi regime change project in Syria, seen as a way to reduce Iranian influence in the Middle East. But it is the potential release of the secret 28 pages of the 9/11 Report that purportedly show Saudi government involvement in the attacks on New York and Washington that threatens to really blow up US/Saudi relations. The relatives of the victims are demanding the right to hold the Saudi government legally accountable if it is shown to have had a role in the attacks, and the Senates Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act would lift Saudi sovereign immunity and allow lawsuits to go forward. The Saudis threaten to dump three-quarters of a trillion dollars in US assets if the bill becomes law a move that could rock world markets and even the shaky Saudi economy. President Obamas disastrous visit to the Saudi capital last week may have been seen as the last straw. Billed in Washington as a trip to shore up relations, President Obama got the cold shoulder as the Saudi monarch sent a low-level functionary to meet the US presidents plane while he met an incoming delegation from the Gulf Cooperation Council. The message was pretty clear. The Obama PR team tried to put a positive spin on the visit, saying it really cleared the air between the two countries. But influential former Saudi Intelligence Chief Prince Turki Al-Faisal disagreed, telling CNN that there is going to have to be a recalibration of our relationship with America. I happen to agree with Prince Faisal. We are long overdue for a recalibration of our relationship. While I do not believe we have any business telling the Saudis how to run their country, the decades-long special arrangement must come to an end. No more US-taxpayer subsidized arms deals to a Saudi Arabia that slaughters civilians in Yemen, transfers weapons to ISIS and other Islamist extremists in Syria and elsewhere, beheads its own citizens for minor offenses, finances terrorism overseas, and threatens other countries in the region. It should be known that no longer will the US guarantee the security of the Saudi kingdom. If the Saudis refuse to sell us their oil in protest, there are other producers who would be happy to step in. The Iranians have long been prevented from selling their oil on the world market. If the Saudi government was involved in the 9/11 attacks, it should enjoy no immunity from justice. If that means reciprocal moves from other countries against the harm US foreign policy causes overseas, so be it. Yes, Prince Faisal. By all means lets recalibrate our relationship. No more entangling alliances with Saudi Arabia! Ron Paul writes for his site RonPaulInstitute.org where this article first appeared. Get his latest bookSwords Into Plowshares. What is it meant by our relationship, when we are a trans national empire that runs the vassal states? Im sure there backing was on the financial side. Since they are the laziest people on earth. I would like to see Iran selling oil. The Sauds have decimated the fracking industry here in the states. Who knows what or how or who brought about the BP spill in the gulfhmmm. 
2	BREAKING: George Zimmerman Was Just Shot According to recent reports, George Zimmerman was shot yesterday during a road rage altercation with a man in Lake Mary, Florida. Shortly after the incident, Zimmerman was seen walking to an ambulance. His injuries were unclear. He walked normally into the ambulance, so he wasnt being helped or nothing, one witness, Ricardo Berrare, told reporters. 31-year-old Zimmerman is best known as the officer who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in 2013. In a controversial ruling, he was acquitted of the young boys murder. He became more notorious after saying that he felt no guilt in the death, because he had not done anything wrong. Only in a true life-and-death scenario can you have mental clearness to know that you cannot feel guilty for surviving, he was quoted saying. Since the shooting, Zimmerman has had several issues with the law, including a call from his estranged wife that her husband had attacked her father with a gun. The charges were dropped, but just two months later, Zimmerman was arrested for domestic violence after his girlfriend called the police. Still, no charges were pressed. Following those incidents, Zimmerman faced two more arrests: once more for throwing a wine bottle at his girlfriend, and again in a road rage incident where he threatened to kill a truck driver. Zimmerman is expected to make a full recovery from this latest altercation. 
1	Admitting it has had its eye on the property for quite some time, the Atlantic Ocean confirmed Monday that it was looking forward to moving into a beautiful beachfront mansion in the near future. For the longest time it seemed like this place was completely out of reach for me, but Ive come a long way in the past few years, and now its looking more and more like a real possibility, said the body of water, which confided that, after having admired the buildings impressive exterior and grounds for so long, it was thrilled at the prospect of finally going inside and exploring all eight bedrooms and 7,500 square feet of living area. Im not quite ready yet, but in a couple years or so, I can definitely see myself in there, making the place completely my own. And the little beachside community that the house is located in is just so cute, tooI cant wait to go through and visit all the shops and restaurants. The ocean noted, however, that it might make a few cosmetic changes to the mansion once it moves in, including gutting the lower floor and taking out a few walls.

Witnesses said that the bloody to-do occurred shortly before noontime prayers, and that dozens were instantly killed by the doozy of a shockwave. Many more were reportedly trampled to death in the rush to escape the foofaraw. 'It was as though some invisible hand had come through to wipe out all that was good and human,' onlooker Taufiq Jinnah said. 'There was so much death and carnagehow could God let such a brouhaha happen?' The Pakistani government, which promised a major counter-hubbub against those responsible, would not rule out a small-scale nuclear donnybrook. 
3	Hysteria: Virginia Student Sent Home for Wearing Duck Dynasty T-shirt That Implies ViolenceKimberly Paxton That is exactly what happened when a hysterical school administration in Dinwiddie, Virginia found the logo on a students t-shirt to be too threatening to be allowed at school. The reality show Duck Dynasty is aired on the AE network and features the Robertson family from Louisiana who rocketed to wealth when their duck-call manufacturing company became wildly successful. The t-shirt (available on Amazon) featured Uncle Siand one of his quotes from the show, I will hurt you physically and metaphysically. The school stands by its decision, saying the shirt could be misconstrued to those that dont watch the popular reality show. If you are a Duck Dynasty fan you understand the meaning of the shirt, David Clark, the schools superintendent, told WWBT. But if you havent watched Duck Dynasty you may question if the shirt implies violence. As a school division, we would like to keep our slogans on student shirts as non-violent as possible. (source) Its good to know that our educators are on top of things, because we wouldnt want any violence to be implied in a country where the police are more dangerous to the public than the criminals and the terrorist attacks and random mass shootings are just as likely to have been false flags instigated by our own government engineered deliberately to chip away at our rights as by a foreign radical or garden variety lunatic. Despite all that, we cant be politically incorrect. We certainly cant have kids wearing t-shirts that imply violence. Who knows what kind of chaos might ensue?

3	Technological Arms Race Has Captured Global FinanceMac Slavo No doubt, technology is playing an important role, but few have any real idea about the extent to which the notion of day trading from the floor of some market is completely obsolete, and how completely orchestrated things really are. Today, high frequency trading is conducted by computer algorithms that predict market behavior and make rapid investment decisions mere mortals could never keep up with. In 2012, Zero Hedge reported that a whopping 84% of ALL stock trades are conducted by high frequency trading computer systems. 84%!! A new study of related technology patents confirms that this is taking place on a larger scale that anyone even realized: The way financial assets are traded, and the nature of the markets themselves, has dramatically changed over the last two decades, says study co-author Dr Ivan Diaz-Rainey of the Universitys Department of Accountancy and Finance. Trading a share-once a hands-on transaction taking around two minutes-is now handled in mere nanoseconds by computers in many markets around the world, he says. A technology arms race is well underway as firms vie to shave even more time off trading and maintain their competitive edge. But its not just about trading speed. Were seeing technology used more when firms are first issuing securities and even the use of neural networks in portfolio selection. Yes, neural networks. As if the Federal Reserve era of finance wasnt skewed enough already, for some time now there have been computers actively learning how to better game the system (and you). And they have taken over almost everything. A paper titled Portfolio Selection with Predicted Returns Using Neural Networks: The Markowitzs Portfolio Selection Model defines the return and risk variables as first-order statistical measurements, which have made this model to be known as mean-variance model. We carried out investment simulations using real data with the Markowitzs model and our model. These simulations shown that the prediction-quadratic deviation model can achieve a return 12.39% higher than the mean-variance model. Our experiments show that the prediction-quadratic deviation model selects higher proportions of stocks with predicted returns higher than the mean returns used in the original model, and also because it can pick solutions on regions of the return-risk space that are unknown for the classical model. Keep in mind that these formulas for computer-based investments are literally getting better all the time, as they are learning as they go. Moreover, they are starting with awareness of many market factors the average person knows nothing about, and even insiders cant realistically factor into human-only trading. Automated trading strategies are drawing from a wealth of data about market performance and consumer trends to making investment decisions in a fraction of a second. In a paper titled, Making markets: infrastructures, engineers and the moral technologies of finance, sociologists from the London School of Economics argue that: The electronic order book grounded the single most important qualitative revolution in recent finance: its adoption displaced trading from the floors of stock exchanges onto global electronic trading networks, changing the spatial scope and interactional character of the marketplace. Its adoption also transformed the speed and politics of financial markets, as illustrated by the rise of automated trading strategies that exploit the affordances of computers and communication networks to generate profits in fractions of a second. Between 2000 and 2009, the aggregate value of trading in global stock markets grew by 61%; the number of trades, however, grew by 700%. Trades today are smaller than what they were ten years ago, and they take place at higher speeds turnover velocity 1 in most mature markets is generally above 80% (the NYSE Euronex and NASDAQ are notable examples: their turnover velocities are 138.5% and 300% respectively). This means that those firms using this and other emerging technologies, which has only come to light through an investigation into the development of industry-related patents, have a definite edge on the market. Financial trading expert and critic Max Keiser called the entire system a hologram, capable of masking deflation and inflation through the feedback loop of these computer algorithms, programmed behind the scenes to manipulate for human interests: In place of reliable price signals (based on the supply and demand of buying and selling) we have price signals that are generated by computer algorithms; i.e., computers executing program trading, high frequency trading and algorithmic trading that account for up to 70% of the trading activity on the NYSE (or 100%, if you consider any shares traded not involved in program trading cant buck the pricing monopoly of the computers). Program traders have a virtually infinite line of credit, pay virtually zero commissions, and are backed by banks on Wall St. with strong political connections who are ready to bail out any losing bets these computers make. Plus, the computers are able to do something normal buyers and sellers cant do. They can pick a price they want a security to trade at and then fill in all the necessary trading volume needed to get the price of the security to that point. In other words, you can program computers to rig markets. In this new rigged market capitalist model, the corrupt bank picks the price it wants a security to trade at and the computers buy and sell with each other until that price is reached; thus providing an audit trail of trades that looks on the surface like actual price discovery. And each price manufactured by computers generates a reaction price in every other security and commodity as the rigged market price signal ripples throughout the interconnected securities market around the world. The average investor just doesnt stand a chance, unless they are part of the system that is rapidly buying up and developing these investment technologies. The researchers have equated this to a technological arms race that is empowering the already dominant incumbent firms on Wall Street and London, and also making way for influence by emerging tech-trading firms: New Zealand researchers said Monday they have traced the origins of a technological arms race that gives Wall Street an advantage in the international markets. The University of Otago researchers scanned the United States Patent and Trademark Office database for market infrastructure (MI) patents for software or hardware using in trading filed between January 1976 and December 2013. [] Established economic theory tells us that new firms will play a leading role in transforming an industry. However, traditional finance firms are powerful and commercially astute so it is reasonable to assume at least some will have responded aggressively by patenting new MI technologies themselves, said Diaz-Rainey. We identified software companies and smaller brokerage firms that have invested heavily in technology internally and through market acquisitions, right alongside major incumbent firms like the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Goldman Sachs. The study revealed that the leading MI patentee was not an established firm, but a private software firm, Trading Technologies International. [] At a basic level, all markets are increasingly integrated if Wall Street sneezes, New Zealand is likely to catch a financial cold. So I guess a question is do we want to move towards this? said Diaz-Rainey. By the way, Trading Technologies International lead by CEO Rick Lane, who worked for Google after making significant developments in the high frequency trading field, before rejoining Trading Technologies. He has extensive experience in the very areas he is in the midst of transforming: Rick worked for a proprietary trading firm, where he developed trading algorithms for the Chicago futures markets. Before entering the financial sector, he worked at consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, where he developed defense-analysis software for the U.S. Department of Defense and other government agencies. The question is, with a market this sophisticated and so tilted, err rigged for the establishment players and their cronies, how long will it be until the next crisis hits, and takes everything from the little people? Or will this system ever be recognized as inherently corrupt, flawed and dismantled in time to save the economies of the globe? Because this technology has everything to do with the looming and completely disastrous derivatives weight that could come crashing down with absolute force at any time. Based on little more than a complex illusion. Ponder the thought. You can read more from Mac Slavo at his site SHTFplan.com, where this first appeared.

2	Why Do Mass Murderers Attack Churches And Schools And Not At NRA Meetings The SC shooting has caused havoc and debates in the media. In addition to race relations, many people have chosen the event as a catalyst for discussing gun control. As Breitbart points out, this raises an important question: Why do gunmen, historically speaking, attack church and school but bypass NRA meetings and Walmart? The answer is simple: citizens who obey the law are significantly prohibited from carrying guns in churches and schools. On the other hand, the same people can be openly armed at events like an NRA meeting. Of course, anyone who is planning an attack would be more inclined to choose a location with the most defenseless victim. Essentially, gun control enables criminals to act. What do you think? Will gun control only perpetuate violence? 
2	Trump Absolutely Destroys Hillary In Head To Head Battle Fox News issued a general election match-up between Hillary and Trump. In December, Hillary led by 11 points. However, in this poll following New Years, Trump has a 3 point lead. Ever since Trump has made major controversial moves surrounding Muslims, immigrants, and guns, it seems that he has actually won over a majority of America. In the past month, Trump proposed to ban Muslim immigrants from entering the US (at least temporarily), attacked Hillary in regards to Bill Clintons sketchy history with women, and a plan to remove all gun-free zones from the United States. Since these announcements, Trump has gained 14 points. We fully support this swing, as we cant imagine anything worse than Hillary taking over for 4 to 8 years. Does Donald Trump have your vote for president? 
3	Longboarders Swerve and Crash to Avoid Road Rage CopAmanda Warren The moment he rushes up in an unmarked SUV and abruptly swerves into the oncoming lane is panic-inducing. The longboarders (long skateboard) barely swerve out of the way themselves and crash to avoid going under the SUV which barley stops in time all to enforce a $35 bylaw violation. Without remorse, the officer starts berating one of the endangered longboarders. He diverts attention from what he did by raising his voice about legality (as if nearly killing two people is justified), gets in the face of the longboarder and says Im sick and tired of dealing with you, dya understand? He changes his tone after the boarder removes his helmet to reveal an adult who doesnt accept this nonchalant treatment. Is that what you do to cyclists?? he wants to know. While it may have been illegal to longboard on this particular street, the officers reaction using his taxpayer issued 2-ton vehicle for possible homocide is akin to taking care of an illegal jaywalker by speeding up to hit them and hoping they get out of the way in time. Jaywalkers and longboarders might be doing something unsafe or illegal, but that hardly justifies removing that safety because an officer is sick and tired of dealing with it. Scaring someone straight, in this manner, as you can see, could have had deadly consequences. Instead of serving and protecting whatever that means anymore or meant originally more and more officers are endangering and terrifying the public at large in unacceptable ways.

3	Mixed Reactions to Cheerios Dropping GMOsHeather Callaghan An unstoppable (and rather humorous) flurry of anti-GMO consumer outcry splashed Cheerios social media pages for weeks causing them to remove a Facebook application. When Cheerios tried to defuse the bomb, it got worse, no doubt because of their patronizing tone. Little did we know they really we()re listening. Cheerios has announced that after some significant investment and research over the past year, its original flavor will use non-GMO ingredients. Not the other flavors because that would be difficult, if not impossible. We switched from what we were using to non-GMO corn and non-GMO pure sugar cane. Below are echoes of the differing sentiments and reactions to Cheerios new move. Some are hailing a victory, while others are unmoved for a few reasons. GMO Free USA posted the following on their Facebook page, essentially asking for proof and noting the trace contamination: Siemienas said: There is broad consensus that food containing GMOs is safe, but we decided to move forward with this in response to consumer demand. Thirdly, a lot of food freedom advocates are pointing out the harmful non-GMO ingredients. The sugar. One lesser-known ingredient is trisodium phosphate a common and strong cleaning agent. Also a stain remover, degreaser and food additive considered by the FDA as GRAS (generally recognized as safe).This article by natural nutritionist Evita Ochel goes into major health deficits of Cheerios.There is also the deceptive marketing of whole grains, addedsynthetic vitamins that our bodies dont recognize, and fillers like wood pulp. For yet another reason, where I was among the harsh and unforgiving, pointing out last year that according to Ballot Pedia, General Mills donated $1,135,300 for No on Proposition 37 in an effort to keep their products from GMO labeling. General Mills is said to have undercut non-GMO advocates during Initiative 522 in Washington state recently. General Mills, by the way, does own several organic cereal sub-companies. Hmm I deeply want consumers to know and think about the damaging effects that GMOs have on their intestinal health and, ultimately, their immune system so any attempt to hide that information to manipulate profits is, to me, an abhorrent deception. Jefferey Smith of the Institute for Responsible Technology quotes a doctor-nutritionist who has seen nothing but recovery with patients after removing GMOs from their diets. I have had those very same conversations with specialists in the healthcare field. A lot changes in a years time avalanches can begin with a snowflake. Ill never stand in the way of other peoples efforts to either label GMOs, ban or remove them whether its geared toward a private company or the government or if its done by the company itself. Whether its considered by many a small victory or a huge overhaul. I used to say why petition commodity companies? Or, Im still not going to eat that But then, why would I also say certain ingredients are poison, should be removed and not given to school children? Or why make a big deal about hurting the pockets of the company, but without making a demand or pointing the way? And how much do we really want to lacerate companies that are trying to change? Yet, it is still desirable and action-inspiring to create those changes in the food system. Consumer activism is what caused many food companies to desperately claim Look! No more high-fructose corn syrup! No MSG! Gluten-free! and so forth. Can they label? You bet. Can they remove and replace? We are now witnessing this. Each large company that not only labels but goes beyond to remove genetically modified ingredients sends a strong message to other companies and to farmers. It becomes widely publicized, which causes the consumer to question their food. It might plug and eventually reverse the tide of GMO crops. It could change the direction of subsidies the price manipulation that is responsible for making organic expensive and processed junk foods cheap. If Cheerios can find non-GMO ingredient sources, then other companies can too. Most of all I think of how disheartening it must be for people who see the gates closing on their food choices. It can seem insurmountable to food freedom lovers who travel farther down the rabbit hole. Then there are people out of work, people who sincerely struggle to feed their families. The unwitting children in the public school system, patients in hospital beds and the elderly in nursing homes. Homeless people eating at shelters and victimless criminals caught up in the prison system who dont deserve cruel and unusual treatment. And health-conscious people who also store up preparedness foods but find themselves compelled to buy cheaper, processed boxed and canned goods. People on strict diet regimes struggling to reverse disease before its too late. At any rate, I hope the tide keep changing Also See: Recent posts byHeather Callaghan: 
1	The National Weather Service is reporting that the clouds over Minneapolis have parted, the sun is shining, and the sky is just a little bluer todayand its all because 38-year-old Doug Bramowski is in love, folks. NWS meteorologists predict that since Bramowskis head over heels for Abby Feldman and, by golly, shes crazy about him, too, Twin Cities residents will be enjoying particularly beautiful weather this weekend with highs in the mid-to-upper 70s, unusually low humidity, and crystal-clear skies as far as the eye can see. We have St. Paul at 81 degrees, Montevideo holding steady at 83, Grand Forks, youre looking gorgeous, and ladies and gentlemen, thats all thanks to the fact that our own local Romeo is sitting pretty with a new lady love whos put a pep in his step and a twinkle in his eye, said local news station KSTP TVs chief meteorologist Steven Meola. Yes sir, Doug Bramowskis hearts soaring and hes bringing our Saturday highs right along with him. And were expecting these perfect conditions to hold, folks, because there is no one as fantastic as the one and only Abby Feldman. Experts say it doesnt take a meteorologist to tell romance is in the air here, folks. Abbys special, all right, the weatherman continued. Shes perfect, just like our seven-day extended forecast: blue skies for miles and spectacular visibilityjust as spectacular as the way Abby makes Doug feel inside. She makes him feel like a man. Like he really matters, you know? All right, Doug! According to Meola, the birds are chirping and the flowers are in bloom because old Dougie boythats right, the very same sourpuss who wondered just three weeks ago if true love was really out therehas a date tonight! Now that Cupids making these lovebirds see the world through rose-colored glasses, weather officials confirmed that Minneapolis residents are seeing not just beautiful conditions during the day, but at night the temperatures should be a comfortable 58 degrees, and the stars will come outbeautiful stars, the kind of stars you finally notice when youre in love. In addition to a high barometric pressure and a low dew point, Meola reported that the air should smell just a little bit sweeter, and if you listen closely, the slight breeze will be whistling a happy tune just for you, because ever since he set eyes on the lovely lady hes thrilled to call his own, Bramowskis been walking on airdry air that should be expected to linger in the area for quite some time because Abbys the real deal, yesiree. Dont tell anyone, meteorologists warned, but old Dougs thinking about inviting her home to meet his parents. After a couple of years of near constant gloomy conditions, The Love Doug is back, so the Twin Cities can expect that summer sun to shine, shine, shine on! Meola said. After all, Hurricane Sara was nearly eight months ago, so its about time the one and only Mr. Douglas James Bramowski opened up those shades and let the sunlight back into his heart. Meola went on to say that the warmer air pushing into the region is encouraging, given the unseasonably cold temperatures that characterized the past few months while Bramowski was getting over his ex. However, the sparks flying between him and Abby are expected to brighten up the sky from here on out because hes nuts about her, shes looney-tunes for the lucky dog, and theyve got that once-in-a-lifetime connection that most people only dream about. As youre making your weekend picnicking plans, just keep in mind that a mere 8 percent chance of precipitation is nothing to worry about considering our loverboy Doug is 100 percent head over heels for Abby, ladies and gentlemen, Meola said. As long as he doesnt lose his sense of self in the relationship like he did last time, these two lovebirds will be enjoying their new romance and well be enjoying clear, dry, and pleasant weather right through the weekend and into the middle of next week. The 10-dayhellthe 50-year forecast is looking perfect! he added. While conditions in Minneapolis are absolutely gorgeous, NWS officials are keeping an eye on a possible disturbance in the Northwest region where the potential for heavy winds or even a tornado isnt out of the question, as things are looking increasingly bad for Duluth area resident Barbara McKean. 
3	Isolated, Away From the City With Code and Debt FreedomBy Mac Slavo With the many restrictions imposed by modern life, especially in busy cities, it may take moving out into the wilderness in order to find true peace of mind. Getting there is the hard part, as most of us are completely intertwined with life on the grid connected to friends, family and employment and dependent on the food, energy and services made available. Its worth keeping mind that all these busy, on-grid problems, while important at the time, are ultimately unimportant. It is all an illusion. And this man once again proves it by cutting all ties with his former life in the city, and cutting free, away from debt, away from codes and regulations and into the desolation of West Texas. Everything is so simple here. I was busting my ass seven days a week just to pay all the bills for all the stuff I had. Now its pared down to one room; got a huge yard with all this land; you cant see another house from my property, which is a big plus. Theres no well, theres very little stress out here. The only time I get stressed out here is when theres a big storm, because the storms are scary out here in the desert. Though there is plenty of beauty in this huge Western expanse, but there is little in the way of resources for growing food, establishing water or building shelter, among other comforts. Stores and even cell service is often quite sparse. But the cheap land and the very real sense of being left alone by various petty authorities does offer something that is hard to come by. For pennies on the dollar, he built his own tiny home, off-grid solar and water systems, and other necessities to get by and actually be free. Check it out: According to Kirsten Dirksen on YouTube: Seven years ago John Wells sold his heavily-mortgaged home in upstate New York and bought 40 acres in West Texas for $8000. The area (Brewster County) is so isolated there are no codes or zoning restrictions so Wells built his own tiny home (in 9 days with $1600) relying on his set-building experience. Not wanting to rely on outside labor, Wells has continued to build his own services: a solar shower, a basic composting toilet, a bike-powered washing machine, an Airstream guest house, and a huge greenhouse which also houses 4 shipping containers he hopes to convert to housing/office space. Wells named his homestead (now 40 acres, he bought a second 20 acres for $500) the Field Lab (short for Southwest Texas Alternative Energy and Sustainable Living Field Laboratory) and he likes to experiment with off-grid solutions: one of his latest is a more-powerful solar oven.

3	From Mayberry to Martial Law: The Transfer of Military Surplus to Domestic Police (w/infographic)By Joe Wright Many of us find ourselves asking this question. What happened? The state of police brutality and militarization in the United States is literally off the charts. When you realize that you are 9 times more likely to be killed by a cop than a terrorist, you know something is severely wrong. It happened in the way that it has happened in many other countries throughout history an external threat, real or manufactured, ushers in a boomerang effect where an increasingly violent foreign policy comes home to roost. It goes right back to the maxim that Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. This is why imperial excursions that violate basic rules of law cannot be tolerated. Regardless of compassion and common decency toward others, this must be so in order to protect yourself and your family from similar violations endured over there. We now have SWAT teams breaking down doors many times in error. Police torturing teens over smoking marijuana again, many times in error. And the new trend of arming small-town America and even universities with military surplus. The infographic below does an exemplary job of showing just how quickly we have spiraled out of control, turning Mayberry into a full-scale militarized police state within several decades. Thought it couldnt happen here? Recently by Joe Wright: 
3	The Gift That Keeps on Giving: Inner Cities, Violence, Poverty, Gangs, Drugs, BLM, Shaming, Guilt, GlobalismBy Jon Rappoport The President of the United States, seized with some unexplainable attack of conscience, or a drug-induced revelation, stood up in front of television cameras and spoke to the nation and the world about The real web that entangles and holds inner cities hostage. Suppose the President suddenly said: My fellow Americans, the first thing you have to know is that, since 1966, when the federal government declared a War on Poverty, it has spent some two trillion dollars, much of it earmarked for the inner cities of America. And now, today, those areas are worse off than ever. For various reasons, including massive theft of funds, this War is a total failure. Second, the elite march toward Globalismthe control of the planet exercised by a few powerful groupshas purposely sent manufacturing jobs out of America, and out of inner cities, to Third World countriesand one effect has been the massive loss of jobs here. Poverty, already a fact of life in inner cities, has spread like wildfire. On top of all this, we have seen the expansion of criminal gangs in poverty-stricken urban communities. Violence and fear there is a way of life. And there has never been a comprehensive federal strategy for ridding our cities of this abominable scourge. Do you want to know why? Because gangs cooperate with Mexican cartels to distribute street drugs across America. Gangs have been vital cogs in that machine. And the federal government is in the drug business. I should say, certain players in the government, attached to government, above and behind governmentbankers, for exampleprofit greatly from this industry. For instance, federal agencies struck a deal with the Sinaloa Cartel years ago, marking out free and open routes between our southern border and several US hub cities. Sinaloa does uninterrupted trafficking along those routes. No significant arrests are made. No interventions occur. In return for this accommodation, Sinaloa passes along actionable intelligence on its rival cartels, and our federal agencies can and do make arrests and seizures in those cases. Wiping out the American gang scourge would put a crimp in the permitted drug business, and therefore, those groups are left in place. We, the government, pretend these gangs are little more than disadvantaged youth who need an opportunity to fulfill themselves. We do everything in our power to frame the problem in terms of sociological causesand we purposely avoid the stark fact that these boys and men commit terrible crimes and hold inner cities hostage by creating and sustaining a climate of fear and danger and drug addiction. In truth, police brutality accounts for a very small fraction of lives lost in those inner city communities. Meanwhile, the relatively few citizens of inner cities who do manage, against heavy odds, to launch successful local businesses, are never deployed to spearhead and teach their neighbors how to achieve that kind of remarkable success. We may pin on a badge, or present a plaque, or stage a photo op, but we never deploy federal money to make these authentic business leaders into long-term instructors in the art they have mastered. That is tragic. Do you want to talk about cooperation? In several American inner cities, local heroes have created urban farms. Residents of all ages learn to grow their own food. Their own fresh, clean food. What a magnificent achievement. With an infinitesimal fraction of the federal money we have wastefully dumped into the War on Poverty, we could have these pioneers start up a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand expansive urban farms across America. Food grown by the people who will eat it. This project alone would revolutionize life in those places. Why arent we doing it? Why cant government find these private citizens who are already tremendous problem solvers and empower them to solve more problem, instead of backing tired old race-baiting blowhards? Ill tell you why. The government is a jealous master. It wants to define, control, and solve problems. It doesnt really matter whether the problems are overcome, as long as government is in charge. That is a hideous fact of life, and we have to change it. Our wasteful, incompetent, and in some cases, criminal federal programs have to be sidetracked and stopped. They are runaway trains, and they must be led to terminals and parked. The protests against the police we are seeing now, even if they were successful in some respects, wouldnt change any of the basic facts that ruin life in our inner cities. That may be hard to swallow, but its true. Do you know something? Some of the people protesting are doing it as if its a job, as if theyre bringing home a paycheckwhen what they really need is an actual job, an actual economy in their neighborhood. Shall I detail for you how shameful and vicious loan practices have destroyed lives, how home mortgages have been rigged to make home buyers fail and lose their very place of shelter? Shall I detail how street-drug economies have taken over? Shall I describe how fervently most citizens in poverty-blighted cities actually want the police to wipe out gangs? Ive discovered, late in the game, that basic truths, such as the ones Ive just laid out, seem to make answers harder. Mountains to climb are suddenly higher. But it serves no purpose to pretend and deflect and lie and cover up and kill hope while appearing to encourage it. Vital facts need to be brought out into the light. What good, for instance, does it do to promise and inflate and fabricate, when it comes to employment numbers? We, the government, cant directly create jobs, unless we want everyone to work for the State. But Ive just indicated how we could help others to reverse the trend of horrendous unemployment. This should have been done decades ago. Black lives matter? All lives matter? Are we really going to spend time arguing about what to say and how to say it? Im telling you, when it comes to life in inner cities, Ive just described the raw barriers that prevent it from flourishingand if anyone cares to win this struggle, attention must be paid. Im aware, as you are, that the State has done much to grind down The Individual, no matter who he or she is. At the same time, the State has coddled and exonerated individuals who have committed terrible crimes, and calling those crimes by other names doesnt make them go away, in case you havent noticed. Oh yes, and another thing. I hate to say this, but the creation and maintenance of a permanent government-dependent underclass, in our cities, is a purposeful act. It isnt an accident, and it isnt just a strategy for winning votes in election seasons. Its a way of pulling the whole country down, sucking it into an ever-widening vortex of poverty, conflict, division, and useless guilt. Its a political, economic, and psychological operation. There is no strong motive to help this underclass help itself. If there were, it might lead to a genuine renewal. But renewal isnt in the cards. The men who are behind this underclass-operation intend to sink America. I should know. Ive been working for them. Until now. Can we right the ship? Did the networks just cut off my feed? I was just getting started. I was about to talk about the militarization and federalization of police forces, and the expanding Surveillance State. We have to curtail all thatHello? Are we still on the air? Whos running things hereI need to talk to the person in chargeWhos in charge? (To read about Jons mega-collection, Exit From The Matrix, click here.)

1	A controversial new bill pending before the Alabama Legislature has deeply divided the state along theological lines, sending right-wing fundamentalist Aesopians into an uproar. HR 1604, if passed, would broaden nutritional guidelines used in the state's school-lunch program, permitting a wider variety of fruits and vegetables to be served, including grapes, the consumption of which is a sin according to Aesopian doctrine. Members of the First Universal Church Of Aesop. 'The state of Alabama is trying to bully us into submission,' said Herman Bray, Pastor of the First Universal Church Of Aesop in Huntsville. 'They're trying to rob us of our most cherished beliefs and send our children the message that grapes are acceptable for eating.' Clutching a worn, leather-bound copy of Aesop's Parables, Bray explained his congregation's strict opposition to the law. 'The Holy Writ of Aesop makes it plain that the fox, in his anger at the unreachable grapes, cursed the offending fruit and made all grapes sour forever,' Bray said. 'It is common senseand a core belief of the Church Of Aesopthat this is a directive from Aesop Himself against grape consumption. Grapes are plainly exposed as a foul, sour-tasting fruit which dirties both body and soul, and this is a strict tenet of our dietary code.' Alabama Aesopians are threatening to take their children out of school if the bill becomes law. 'Our beliefs and history have been laughed off by the secular media as fiction, as 'fables,'' Bray continued. 'But the fox-and-the-grapes incident is not just some fantasy concocted by the Aesopian Right. Our research has determined that it most likely occurred between 605 and 602 B.C.E. in the province of Phrygia, was witnessed by a young Aesop and ultimately recorded in what became the Holy Book of Aesopians. Our church's archaeological and historical data all confirm the details recorded in the Aesop account.' A page from the Aesop scriptures. The Aesopians' claims have provoked strong reaction among academics. 'They think what? That this is a directive not to eat grapes?' asked Darrin Schmidt, professor of folklore and mythology at NYU. 'The whole point of the story is that the grapes aren't sour at all. I think that's pretty unambiguous.' Bray dismissed Schmidt's comments as 'heretical anti-Aesopian hate speech.' Curtis Milner, president of the Birmingham-based Aesopian Coalition, said his organization is prepared to go all the way to the Supreme Court if Alabama passes what he calls 'an openly hostile, blatantly anti-Aesopian piece of legislation.' 'These lawmakers are attacking our most closely held beliefs,' Milner said. 'Not only is it disrespectful; it is a clear violation of the Constitution of this land.' According to Milner, the beliefs of the Aesopians are simple and direct. 'We honor the courage and the noble sacrifice of Aesop, who gave His life to educate the world, not backing down even to the day of His execution by the wicked Athenian despot Peisistratus,' Milner said. 'That event, though tragic on the surface, was actually a day of exhilarating triumph over evil, for as a result of it, the histories painstakingly recorded by Aesop gained immortality.' 'He died for us all,' Milner added. 
3	Who Would Really Want to Live in the Eugenics Record Office?By Aaron and Melissa Dykes When we inquired about where the Eugenics Record Office was located, we werent given an answer either. We were told we could check with the Carnegie Institute library on campus which, of course, wasnt open at the time we were told to go there (and the tour guide obviously knew it). When you do a search for the Eugenics Record Office online, you can quickly find Cold Spring Harbor Laboratorys rather elaborate eugenics archive (complete with animated eugenics tree loading page such a nice touch), but theres nothing about an address for the ERO and all the information about it is vague as to where it is actually located at. This resulted in us driving around for over an hour trying to find the place just based on 100-year-old photographs and a vague description in a New York Times article about it being less than a mile from the lab itself. Well we did finally find the office tucked away in the woods a ways up the street, almost completely hidden from view of the main road by trees, in a spot few would likely check. An official sign out front proclaims it to be Holly Hall, but theres nothing online about when it was named that or if it is related to the ERO time period for the building (1913-1940). And apparently its for sale (not that the realtor mentioned anything in her glowing description of the property that it was built by Mrs. E. H. Harriman, a prominent eugenicist and mother of Skull and Bones alumni diplomat Averill Harriman, specifically to house the Eugenics Record Office either). In fact, theres only one article that shows the modern day house and links it to eugenics, but its a completely misleading fluff piece titled, Rich Cribs: Cold Spring Laboratory was to fill this home with eugenics records. No, its wasnt going to be filled with those records. It was filled with them. That short blurb goes on to imply that the house wasnt built by Harriman for the express purpose of a eugenics research facility. Either someone has utterly failed to do even a hint of research or someone is purposefully trying to cover up the houses true past. Nowhere in the ads for the house or that article is it mentioned that this place is directly responsible in large part for the passage of eugenics laws across America that resulted in the forced sterilization of tens of thousands of people a heinous act based on racism and elitism passing itself off as science. But really who would actually want to live in the former Eugenics Record Office? The whole place seemed haunted by its negative, ugly past. In the brief moments we were there, the feeling was palpable. It was glaringly clear to us that they want this place completely forgotten and lost to time. Too bad for them. Aaron and Melissa created TruthstreamMedia.com as an outlet to examine reality and the news, place it in a broader context, uncover the deceptions, pierce through the fabric of illusions, grasp the underlying factors, know the real enemy, unshackle from the system, and begin to imagine the path towards taking back our lives, one step at a time, so that one day we might truly be free Wonder where they moved all the records to? So Alexander Graham Bell was the Chairman? Wow! You might want to note where this was, which I think is Long Island, NY, not Cold Spring, NY. Journalism 101, please? Long Island is a big island off of the coast of New York state that encapsulates many cities. This place is located on Long Island. The full specific address of the location, officially Laurel Hollow, New York again, located on long island is listed in the video. Thanks. Put it in the article. Journalism 101. Oh and thanks for letting me know where Long Island is. A big help since I live in NYC. Great work, Melissa! I laughed, I cried! Thank you, TruthStreamMedia for the TRUE investigative reporting! 
1	In the wake of a car accident that claimed the lives of four promising high schoolers, Fort Scott mayor Thomas Dietrich told reporters Monday that his shattered community had come together as one, acknowleged its horrible loss, and decided to 'just call it quits.' Members of the football team will not honor their fallen peers at halftime, because Friday's game&#8212;and every future game&#8212;has been canceled. 'In devastating times such as these, reaching down deep and finding hope simply isn't possible,' said Dietrich, who planned to resign his post later that afternoon. 'The untimely deaths of star pole-vaulter Rich Jenkins, honor roll students Jamie Eisenhard and Beth Armonk, and senior class treasurer Kyle MacIntyre are more than we as a town can bear, much less use as an experience through which to learn about ourselves and grow closer, emerging from our collective grief stronger than we were before.' 'Honestly, I don't see the people of Fort Scott looking to one another for solace during this trying time, or really looking to one another for anything ever again,' Dietrich continued. 'This is all just sosad. Much, much too sad for us to pick up the pieces and bravely move forward.' In the days since the accident, Fort Scott has not seen an outpouring of mutual support, and the intersection where the teens were killed remains completely free of any improvised memorials featuring flowers, poems, snapshots, or crosses. According to Dietrich, a candlelight vigil in the center of town was 'totally out of the question,' as residents determined it would not bring any closure to the situation at all and would, instead, make everyone even sadder. Sources at Fort Scott High School said there are also no plans to honor the students' memories with an annual scholarship or even a dedication in the 2010 yearbook, the printing of which has been canceled altogether in the face of such overwhelming adversity. 'Reflecting on the lives of these amazing kids and how they touched so many during their short time with uswho in their right mind would want to do that?' Dietrich said. 'It would only remind us all of how awful and insurmountable this whole situation already is. No, we have to gather ourselves up and begin to look to the future. Specifically, a future in which we abandon this doomed place and go our own separate ways.' 'It's what Rich, Jamie, Beth, and Kyle would have wanted,' Dietrich added. According to the mayor's office, the healing process will never begin, and the emotional scars left by the tragedy will remain open, festering wounds, worsening each year, for decade upon decade, until every resident of Fort Scott is dead and the memory of this horrifying event can finally be laid to rest. 'One day we'll all be able to look back at this and feel just as heartbroken, helpless, and angry as we do right now,' Dietrich said. 'We could perhaps find some solace in the thought that those four young kids live on forever inside each and every one of us, but they don't. They're dead.' Though the young victims were laid to rest less than a week ago, Fort Scott has already seen an exodus of more than a third of its former population of 7,941. Those uprooting their lives and fleeing their homes acknowledged the 154-year-old town has much to be proud of, but stressed that it would never be able to bounce back from the accident. 'When something this terrible happens, it's important to remember that it's all part of God's plan,' hardware store owner Bill Stensland said as he boarded up the windows of his business. 'And that plan is for all of us to leave Fort Scott for good and never speak to one another again.' 'The sooner everyone realizes we won't ever be able to come to terms with this, the better,' Stensland added. Kansas governor Mark Parkinson has reportedly not offered his condolences to Fort Scott, calling the community's actions in the aftermath of the tragedy 'a testament to the completely domitable nature of the human spirit.' 
1	A legendary Burger King employee, known across the land for the heroic and selfless deed of randomly inserting a single onion ring among the french fries of unsuspecting customers, is believed to have recently resurfaced in this sleepy Illinois town, sources reported Monday. 'That onion ring was such a pleasant surprise,' said Burger King patron Richard Jameson, 37, who claimed that he caught a blue-and-yellow blur out of the corner of his eye, but before he could personally thank the mysterious figure, the 'Employees Only' door was already closed. 'If you're reading this, good sir, thank you.' While none can predict when or at which Burger King franchise the beloved fry cook will strike next, he will not rest as long as his evil nemesis continues placing shriveled-up, nasty brown fries in people's orders. 
2	Ann Coulter Digs Into Michelle Obama About Race [VIDEO] Sean Hannity stirred controversy when he devoted 20 minutes of his Fox News show to address Michelle Obamas commencement speech at Tuskegee University. Ann Coulter chimed in the controversy; criticizing Michelle for the way that she described the role racism has played in her own life. I think shes just letting out her Reverend Wright now, Coulter declared. Yes, American does owe black America for slavery, for the Democratic policies of Jim Crow, Coulter claimed. I think wevewere making it up now, when youre getting admitted to Princeton when you cant read, is that enough yet? Hannity pushed back on Coulter for that comment, but she continued on. Oh my gosh, this nonsense about, oh, so many blacks are in prison, well how did they get there? Coulter pressed further. In addition to the peaceful Baltimore protester I want to put on a milk cartonhave you seen this? I want to see the innocent person in prison. What do you think of Coulters comments? Do you agree with her or did she take things too far? 
3	The Establishments Plan to Divide: Donald Trump, Fake News, and RussiaBy Derrick Broze First, I should make it perfectly clear that I am not a supporter of Donald Trump, nor am I a supporter of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, or any other politician. As far as I am concerned these people are all a part of the problem. At best they are naive for thinking they can change the system from within; at worst they are actively shilling for the establishment to propagate division and support for the dying system. Also, I do not buy the narrative that Donald Trump is an outsider who somehow duped both the corporate media and long-term politicos with his victory that nobody claims to have seen coming. Time and time again we have seen that anyonewho aims to truly challenge the status-quo is not allowed to win. I say allowed because whether you are talking about easily hacked Diebold voting machines, the uselessness of the popular vote, the ever-increasing influence of money on politics, or the outright oligarchy that controls our world your vote does not matter. Presidents are selected and not elected. For some reason a growing portion of the alternative media seems to have forgotten this. Either way, Trumps role seems to be that of the Great Divider. He has been brought on board to say absurd one-liners that can be repeated by the media ad nauseum and create a panic in the half of the population that believes he will launch World War 3. Meanwhile, Trump will betray his supporters by breaking campaign promises like every president before him.Instead, he will bring about more of the same old game we have seen played through the Obama, Bush, and Clinton regimes. Trump gets the privilege of running his mouth with controversial statements (whether he means them or not) while the media is happy to repeat everything he says. Bottom Line: Trump is the establishments anti-establishment candidate. He is being used to create division while promoting a false resistance to the true establishment. If Trump is the establishments wolf in sheeps clothing, the Fake News meme is the establishments tool for distraction and division. Since Trump was declared the winner, the corporate media (read: actual fake news) has pushed story after story claiming that government insiders have evidence that the Russians interfered with the U.S. elections by propagating fake news stories that favored Trump and attacked Hillary Clinton. The Washington Post and other mouthpieces for the establishment ran with a report from the organization PropOrNot which claimed to identify websites that were spreading fake news and quite possibly working as Russian propagandists. The list contained selfnews Post, Mint Press News, The Free Thought Project, The Anti Media, and many other independent media outlets. Essentially, the corporate media is repeating baseless accusations in an attempt to demonize both Donald Trump and his supposedly unexpected victory AND Russia. This feeds back into the love/hate Trump loop, further dividing Americans. Those who hate Trump feel justified in their discontent and are happy to buy media lies about Russian interference in the election and fake news spread by uneducated Trump supporters. On the other side of the fence, Trump supporters feel justified in their distaste for the corporate media and their apparent anti-Trump bias. The medias focus on Trump and repetition of unconfirmed rumors from unnamed government sources fuels the anti-establishment mood of the pro-Trump camp. Again, I stress that from my analysis I have concluded that Trump is a part of the program. He is keeping the people divided and distracted while the American public fights about the veracity of their news, and the government searches for ways to begin regulating independent journalism while pretending to care about truth. Bottom Line: The Fake News meme is being used to attack independent media that offers an alternative take to the party line. It also happens that the fake news meme serves as a way to divide Trump supporters and critics, as well as point a finger at Russia. Throughout the election process the corporate media made references to Donald Trumps apparent friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.As part of the never-ending Cold War era mentality, Americans are taught that all things Russian are evil and that any American who dares to support or cooperate with Russian officials may be a Russian agent, if not simply a bad American. The corporate media also repeated claims that Russia was behind the hacks of the Democratic National Convention that led to the leaking of emails from Hillary Clintons campaign chairman, John Podesta. Once WikiLeaks began releasing the Podesta Leaksand subsequently damaging Hillary Clintons reputation, the corporate media stated that the leaks were probably fake or compromised, and that Julian Assange was likely a Russian agent. However, the big push to connect Trump to Russia has come in the days since the election. First, on December 9, The Washington Post claimed that a CIA analysis has proven that Russia did indeed interfere with the U.S. election in order to help Trump get to the White House. As of the writing of this article, U.S. officials are now reporting that Putin himself directed the hack against the DNC. Again, none of these claims have been independently verified, but they have led to more calls for investigations and a possible change of vote by the Electoral College. The alleged interference from Russia has also helped pass legislation specifically aimed at combating foreign propaganda. Or at least thats what the corporate deadstream media would have you believe. TheCountering Disinformation and Propaganda Act was recently passed as part of the yearly military budget known as the National Defense Authorization Act. If the NDAA sounds familiar its likely because it is the same bill that President Obama signed in 2012 authorizing indefinite detention of American citizens who are suspected of terrorism. The Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act claims that its priority is developing a whole-of-government strategy for countering foreign propaganda and disinformation. The bill would increase the authority, resources, and mandate of the Global Engagement Center to include state actors like Russia and China in addition to violent extremists. The bill also aims tocounter foreign disinformation operations and proactively advance fact-based narratives that support U.S. allies and interests. Despite the deceptive language, it is clear that the establishment wants to delegitimize any independent media or opposition as simply puppets of Russia or other foreign governments. The parasite classes are thenable to keep the population divided and fighting over whether or not Trump is a legitimate president or an agent of the Russians. Bottom Line:The establishment political class, media, and corporate partners are working overtime to convince the American public that WikiLeaks, Donald Trump, and the independent media are simply pawns of the Russian government. Conclusion:By spreading the fake news meme the elitists behind the American power centers are able to attack growing independent media icons by painting them as propagators of false Russian propaganda. The media is also using this fake news meme and Russian prop to accuse Trump of being an illegitimate president, further playing into the Trump is an outsider narrative. All of this is being done with the goal of keeping the domestic front as divided as possible while selling the brainwashed masses into another war. Coincidentally, all of this non-sense is taking place while the corporate media spreads lies about Syria and Russia. Trump is the Great Divider, playing his role to keep the people fighting while the parasite classes take down independent media and sell the American public into a proxy war with Russia.

Image Credit: selfnews Post composite/Canva More likely the writer of this article is a great divider. It never made its case and your theory is so full of holes that none of the dots were connected. It is all scripted like the author states. If you are too ignorant to research and comprehend this, O well Ok, I do agree to a great amount that much of our situation does seem scripted. Yet, what does the author want the reader to do with all this info when he asks in his closing statement, Will you allow this game of deceit and misdirection to lead you down a path of ignorance, jingoism, and death? Really?!? Will you allow it!? What does he think we the people are to do about it? We are already divided and it is not in 2 but in many factions. There is no we in we the people. So does the author expect us to be fools and traitors and march on the government in mass revolt? I dont think so. Vote for a different party than what we have in the past? No, I dont think so. There is not much we can do about it. I have tried to discuss the notion of practicing civil disobedience against our government institution and strikes against big money powers, but as soon as you bring that idea up you get labeled as a revolutionary, a nut case, a terrorist. People hear civil disobedience and immediately and wrongly equate it with violence. They may have a point because it seems any time that we do act in peaceful protest and civil disobedience, the establishment infiltrates with anarchists and thugs and that allows the establishment to call out their paramilitary police goons to crack heads and arrest people. Free speech is not permitted unless you have a permit from the government and then they corral you into cages called, Free Speech Zones that are far removed from those who the protests are directed. Its a big fascist joke. Will we allow it? Yeah, we will allow it because we have no other positive and realistic alternative to it. Which is exactly why Trump was elected president. We really had no other way to stick it to the man as they used to say. Your reaction is what I think they wanta feeling of helplessness. You are right about the dividing, that is how they make us lose cohesive focus on the problems at hand. The only way I see to solve this is by grassroots contacts providing proof of beyond criminal acts by our governing swine. Also, quit spending money unless you have to. Buy only local and pay cash. Trash the cable and TV. Hit them where it hurts the most in Fiat cash. The persona you give off when revealing the many evils inherent in our ruling thugs really helps your case if done right. Let them mock all they want, because you are doing the right thing. Deny all fear And vote with your dollars. I try not to by any GMO or Monsanto derived items. The author is an idiot whose article doesnt belong at selfnews Post Divide and conquer is TPTBs favorite tool, why wouldnt they use it to maximum effect? They already are using divide and conquer just not with Trump.You have know .you have to have at least SOME intuition. The whole world establishment is against Trump including the Pope and China. get a clue people Name calling isnt a very good logic analysis tool. Just saying.. Im speaking to the people smart enough to have figured it out already. And you are a troll. If it is all scripted, then why are the globalists tearing their hair out with one hugely failing lie after another? You are yet another anti-Trump troll in here. Camp FEMA for you. You still think Unicorns exist I see. Heres hoping you someday will realize the controllers know you better than you know yourself. Until you can see that fact, rabbit hole here you come Really???.just look at Trumps picks for his cabinet and follow his failure to enact his campaign promises. .you will figure it out eventually. Good luck his failure to enact his campaign promises. He is not even in office yet, Bozo. Who else does he have to choose from? Everyone with at least some experience has baggage. Dont forget we are talking about a guy that is at risk for assassination. Sadly, I feel that you may be correct about Trump (although I wish you were wrong) Thanks for a well-written article. Dont worry. He is flat wrong. And your source for this wisdom is???? Hope youre right. I agree with this article except for one large error, that US citizens have been taught to demonize Russia. As late as 2011, the approval rating was slightly over 50%.the decine has happened in the past few years, with the annexation of Crimea and resulting Western propaganda. A WSJ/ABC poll in May 2016 found that Putin had more approval than either Clinton or Trump. Trump is the great divider as only 5% of Dems, 26% of Independents, and 64% of Repubs approve of him. Most people despise him and his lies. If only we had a democracy. Other than this error in US public views, this article strikes deep into the heart of the Deep State. You quote patently phony poll results and as such you are part of the disinfo problem. I am accurately quoting polls and giving sources. Gallup, etc all have high marks for accuracy. If you have evidence any of these polls are fraudulent, put up or shut up. If you cant give sources, its time to shut up. Starting from the premise that Donald Trump was brought on board to be a candidate, this author gives away his agenda of further proliferating a nivelizing and congenitally limiting the potential of an aspirant of true reform and good, the idea of which his ilk cant abide. Lets wait and see a bit before emplacing a ceiling! And what specifically gives you the belief that Trump is different? That our rulers have just changed their morality? Your naivety contributes to this problem going on longer and getting bigger. You cannot get a valid candidate in a corrupted system Exactly so. If he constituted a genuine threat to their aspirations he would get depressed. Granted, its hard to depress a billionaire, but its possible. The one good thing about having an imaginary adversary like Hillary is that you cant exaggerate her shortcomings. Im sure weve just scratched the surface. We are not in control of this and, for that reason, we will never be able to change it from within. The best we can do is have them sufficiently afraid of us to limit themselves. That hasnt been the case since right after WWII. WE are in control. YOU ZIONIST CRIMINALS are now NO LONGER IN CONTROL. Zionist criminals! lol What a giveaway. Pathetic. ALL CAPS and clear signs of a tiny neocortex. Tell your handlers to grow some testicles and debate us in the real world. I agree completely. ..the elite are working at least two levels above, what most people believe is really going on. Trump has played his part well and his picks for his cabinet tell you who he really is. Then theres his failure to live up to his promise to jail Hilarity Klingon, among other diluted promises. The think tanks arent just for looks.no people, they help tptb formulate these masquerades. Then theres his failure to live up to his promise to jail Hilarity Klingon, among other diluted promises. How is he supposed to do that when he hasnt even been sworn in yet? Has he somehow instantly become King Of The World? You are nothing but an anti-Trump troll. In essence, that is what I was saying above. The Globalists became weak-kneed after they brazenly assassinated JFK and placed a POTUS puppet in office every election since? They lost heart after pulling off 9/11? Sandy Hook? Middle east wars, extrajudicial executions, Gulf oil spill.murdering Webb, Hastings, and dozens of microbiologists and natural health docs..etc., etc., etc. Some people seem to have forgotten the story of the toad and the scorpion. I never heard any story of a toad and a scorpion. Why dont you share it with us. Let me guess: the toads are Hillary Clinton and George Soros, and the scorpion is Israel. Human beings are not animals, especially not rather low ones like frogs or scorpions, so your analogy is not applicable. The internet trolling budgets will begin to be axed here in a few more weeks. I suggest that you trolls start looking for constructive work or just leave the USA before you end up in Camp FEMA for about 7-11 years. I dont mean maybe. Never heard of metaphors or allegories? LOL Why dont you develop some intellectual curiosity and look it up? But since you dont know what Im talking about, on any level, maybe TPTB will decide they have enough lobotomized Orcs and will give you a *special* vaccination before they give one to me. Hahaha. LOL. Type the words toad and scorpion into your little browser window and there you will find what is known in literary circles as an allegory a/k/a a parable. Its a story with a moral, in this case its about the basic nature of these two species. The toad carries a scorpion across the water on its back. When they reach the shore, the scorpion stings the toad. When the toad asks why, the scorpion says, Its my nature. As you can see, you missed the whole point and your wild guess is wrong; the story has no bearing on Soros or Hillary. although it could be said that Soros looks very toad-like and Hillary acts like a scorpion. So, you never heard of the story but youll assume and insult regardless, eh? If you had taken the time to look up the story you would have found it quick enlightening and spot on not only in regards to the article but your own comment. He has appointed people from Goldman Sachs and people who worked for Soros to his administration. Wake up and smell the coffee. Smells more like garbage to me. I suppose you are expecting a troupe of your fellow mindless dindus from the Soros School of Bought and Paid For Social Justice. Yes, you are. I am not completely giving up on Trumpbut I am concerned with his Cabinet appointments and Kissingers quasi-endorsement, for starters. I think thats a great and clear analysis of reality. It is always hard for most to come to grips with. I too would like things to be different. I think a mature person must simply look at things and recognize them for what they are, not what we wish they would be. i o not have any heros. Certainly none in politics. Trump is hardly an outsider. I have my doubts about him winning either. There are no winners in a rigged system and, believe me, this one is rigged. The fact that he appears on the scene when he does makes me suspicious that there is a reason for that. Could it be that Hillary was even too much for the Cabal? Trust me, Im not expecting great things. if anything good comes of this, fine. The simple thought that we wont be looking at her for four years is satisfaction enough. He may be on to something with the idea of using this as a ploy for further elimination of free speech. They hate liberty and are working round the clock to destroy any semblance of it. What this cycle SHOULD have shown the unaware is that there are no parties. There is just a dialectic and they need to get themselves free of it. Letting these scum define our options and limitations is a serious mistake. Letting these scum define our options and limitations is a serious mistake. Now youre talking good sense. This author cannot bring himself to say Mt. Trump is a trooper. I colors shallow every other thing he has to say. So many out there with points of greater or lesser interest who just cannot man up to say the the Donald is at least fighting the good fightand with Gods will, may deliver us from evil. The DNC email hack was a deliberate DNC email leak carried out by the DNC, in order to accuse the Russians and Trump of influencing the presidential election after the elections. This was simply a plan B to steal the elections from republican Trump. When Trump expressed worries about election fraud (since the dead and the illegal vote as well in the USA) before the elections, he received very harsh comments by Clinton about undermining the democracy for not having faith in the election process. The election statistics that show the percentage of voters versus non-voters seemingly prove Trumps worries. Now that Clinton lost, the DNC and Clinton accuse Trump of influencing the election illegally, even involve the Russians (not a word written/spoken by the MSM about the foreigners who donated money to Clintons political campaign, a well established FACT). All of a sudden, the democrats are worried about their self-leaked emails that might have influenced the election results. This is a SCAM accusation intended to intimidate the electoral college that is lead by the nose by zionist Nancy Pelosis daughter (another zionist). No. The DNC leak by Seth Rich was 100% a result of the egregious primary election rigging against Bernie Sanders. The Wikileaks leak was done by Craig Murray, former UK ambassador to Kyrgizstan. The Democrats and their zionist masters are not smart enough to think up such a rigged scam. All of their false flags were detected and have been thoroughly picked apart. Thank you, glad someone still sees the truth and not into kissing Trumps can and thinking hes an outsider. Vlad Tepes wasnt an outsider either. Or his margin of victory was so large that the fix was insufficient for her win. Regardless, anyone is preferable to clinton. He has already done more positive things than she would have, def con 3 went to 5kinda big. More than a few companies have promised to create jobs and stay in the country. I know that doesnt matter to you but it may to them. He publicly called out most of the criminals in this country which no-one else in his position ever has. I will wait and see a tad prior to excoriating him. I have never in my life seen a candidate like himlets hope for the best I have read it. Also, this whole thing is beyond bizarre I read that article too. It is patently disinfo. This article is clearly part of the psyop against Trump. I have noted the authors name. I also note that the internet backbone trolls are hard at work today attempting to prevent comment posting by slowing down the Disgust posting software. He is just trying to discredit Trump and sow division. Ignore him. He is fake news at its worst. Inflitrated by fake MSM media personnel. its self defeating when one attempts speculation about what will happen in the future based on a string of logic, built on premises which are contrived in a probability broach. At least, Mr. Broze should wait until the end of April before posting an article such as this. I realize, no matter what GOP or dem gets (s)elected, he isnt going to see his Anarcho-capitalist nirvanaLand be handed to him on a silver platter, so we can expect complaints. But assigning some sort of evil, con-artist label to Trump at this point is foolish. I remain optimistic. Trump is holding his enemies even closer. So far, Trump has fooled everyone. The Republicans rejected him, but could not come up with a better candidate that would take on the current problems of the U.S., so he won the primary. The press didnt like him, so he took on the press pointing out how many lies the press puts out and how much they favored Hillary. They also thought that he would lose by a large margin. The press was once again wrong! Every time the press gets a chance to make fun of Trump they do it. It is a new sport with the press even more fun than picking on Russia. The only person that got Trump on board was Trump. And he will weather the stupid Russia hacked our election attempt at getting electors to change their votes. He will be our next president. Like him or not, get used to it! 
2	DISTURBING Video Reveals Barack Obamas Plan For Martial Law In America [VIDEO] During the protests in Ferguson, Missouri, we saw some of the largest military interventions we had seen in a long time. SWAT officers swarmed the street in armored tanks, equipped with machine guns. This is no surprise given that President Obama had effectively transferred a half a billion of dollars worth of military equipment to local and state police in 2013 alone. Of course, that cost is miniscule in comparison to what he spent equipping the Department of Homeland Security. Now, many believe that President Obama is planning to place American under martial law. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is our country in danger? 
3	Getting Prepared Month 7: Gear, Tools and Skills to Save LivesGaye Levy, Contributor The gear and tools we are going to purchase this month are lifesaving and useful in many types of situations. Add to that an essential skill that everyone should learn and we have a two-punch whammy for seeing you through disasters, accidents, health care woes and more. With that introduction, lets get started. Month 7 Supplies Gear: I am always surprised at the number of people who do not know what the NOAA Weather Radio service is all about. And for some reason, be it ignorance, embarrassment, or simply ambivalence, they never ask. It is time to end that. Wouldnt you like to be warned in advance and be informed post-event of critical information following a winter storm, earthquake, hurricane, avalanche, chemical spill, or power outage? You need a NOAA Alter Weather Radio for that and even more important, you need one that is battery, crank or solar operated. My personal favorite is the Kaito Voyager but there are numerous others some at lower prices and other more expensive with more features. Another option is the Etn American Red Cross Self-Powered Radio with Flashlight, Solar Power and Cell Phone Charger for about $34. Dont Let a Fire Harm You or Your Loved Ones The next item of gear we are going to get, if you dont already have one, is an ABC fire extinguisher. ABC what, you say? The ABC designation means that it is a multi-purpose dry chemical type extinguisher good for class A, B, and C type fires. There is a very informative website, appropriately called Fire Extinguishers 101 that provides the following information: We are also going to add paracord to your emergency and disaster kit. Now let me tell you about paracord, since this is very useful stuff that is very inexpensive. Paracord is a lightweight nylon rope that was originally used in the suspension lines of US parachutes during World War II. Soldiers, however, found that this miracle rope was useful for far more than their paratrooper missions. In the ensuing years, both the military and civilians alike have found hundreds if not thousands of uses for paracord. It is available by length, typically 50 to 100 feet or more and in a variety of colors. It is also available is large quantities by the spool. Many hikers and outdoor sports enthusiasts make or purchase survival bracelets made of several feet of paracord which is woven into a compact bracelets that can be unraveled in the field. Paracord can be used for many purposes such as securing things, removing heavy debris and fixed objects, strapping things together, as a harness to escaping a burning building, controlling bleeding as a tourniquet, and the list goes on. You can even unravel the cord and use the individual strands as a fishing line or as thread to sew on a button. Wonderful stuff. By the way, you will often see paracord referred to as Paracord 550 means that it has a breaking strength of 550 pounds or more. We are not going to leave nourishment off our list this month. Although fresh fruits and vegetables are always preferable to juices, they do not store well; and in an emergency, juices will not only provide vital nutrients, but also hydration. Choose from bottled or canned tomato, V8, apple, pineapple or other juices and plan on a minimum of 32 ounces for each person. Although the standard 46-ounce size juice bottle or can is more cost-effective, depending on your needs, you may find small, single-serving cans more convenient. Beware, however, of flavored juice-like products that are merely colored and flavored sugar water. We want some nutrition here! Note: if you choose tomato juice and also store a pint or two of spirits, you will be able to make yourself a Bloody Mary not such a bad idea as long as you remember that moderation is the rule. One more thing: it goes without saying that your stored food supplies will provide you with calories and energy to get by. But will they have all of the necessary daily vitamins and minerals? Maybe. Maybe not. For this reason I recommend that you store away a supply of multi-purpose vitamins for a just-in-case scenario. Do this even though you ordinarily do not use supplements. Consider them as an extra layer of insurance. The last two items before we move on to tasks are a set of pliers or a vise grip (locking pliers). Chances are you have an extra set of one or the other, but if not, head on over the hardware store and pick up one of these useful tools. What are they used for? Among other things you can use them to tighten or loosen bolts, grab onto something where you need extra leverage and manipulate objects that are difficult to handle with the fingers alone. In a pinch you can use the pliers to crack edible nuts you find while foraging, or crack the shells of clams you find on the beach. Month 7 Tasks: Remember when I said that this month you will learn skills that will save lives? When disaster strikes, the probability of being injured escalates with the scope of the disaster. In addition, a serious injury causing loss of breathing increases dramatically. When this happens, knowing basic first aid and knowing how to deliver CPR can mean the difference between life and death. Virtually every community offers courses in first aid and CPR. You can check with your local fire department, community college or Red Cross chapter for courses in your area. Factoid: Less than 1/3 of those people who experience a cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public location have CPR performed on them. Most bystanders are worried that they might do something wrong. As a result, in 2009 the American Heart Association launched a Hands Only CPR public relations initiative and a website as a means to address this issue. In addition the Red Cross has a free, downloadable flyer describing Hands on CPR that you can print out and store with your emergency kit for reference. In addition, the American Heart Association has produced this short video. You can also visit Hands on CPR for more information. Dont Forget the Utility Shut-Offs Another thing that happens when disaster strikes is that the utilities go out. When that happens, it is important to know where the main controls are located, and when and how to turn them off. Here is a quick reference guide. Electricity Water Sewer system Gas meter The Final Word There is a commonly used term: When the stuff hits the fan or SHTF. What makes up this stuff can be something as benign as a mild winter wind storm; or something as catastrophic as a massive earthquake and tsunami such as the one that occurred in Japan in March 2011. In between, there are hundreds of other events that could require that you avail yourself of the preparedness projects you have completed so far. We have three more months to go, and beyond that we will continue to review, refresh and enhance what we have done so far. Be proud that you have taken these steps and look forward to a safe and self-reliant future. Previous articles in this series: Read other articles by Gaye Levy here.

3	Fracking or Chemtrails? Study Shows Water Wells Closest to Fracking are More ContaminatedThe peer-reviewed paper focuses on the presence of metals such as arsenic, barium, selenium and strontium in water samples. A new study of 100 private water wells in and near the Barnett Shale showed elevated levels of potential contaminants such as arsenic and selenium closest to natural gas extraction sites, according to a team of researchers that was led by UT Arlington associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry Kevin Schug. Brian Fontenot, who earned his Ph.D. in quantitative biology from UT Arlington, worked with Kevin Schug, UT Arlington associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and a team of researchers to analyze samples from 100 private water wells. The results of the North Texas well study were published online by the journal Environmental Science Technology Thursday. The peer-reviewed paper focuses on the presence of metals such as arsenic, barium, selenium and strontium in water samples. Many of these heavy metals occur naturally at low levels in groundwater, but disturbances from natural gas extraction activities could cause them to occur at elevated levels. This study alone cant conclusively identify the exact causes of elevated levels of contaminants in areas near natural gas drilling, but it does provide a powerful argument for continued research, said Brian Fontenot, a UT Arlington graduate with a doctorate in quantitative biology and lead author on the new paper. Researchers believe the increased presence of metals could be due to a variety of factors including: industrial accidents such as faulty gas well casings; mechanical vibrations from natural gas drilling activity disturbing particles in neglected water well equipment; or the lowering of water tables through drought or the removal of water used for the hydraulic fracturing process. Any of these scenarios could release dangerous compounds into shallow groundwater. Researchers gathered samples from private water wells of varying depth within a 13 county area in or near the Barnett Shale in North Texas over four months in the summer and fall of 2011. Ninety-one samples were drawn from what they termed active extraction areas, or areas that had one or more gas wells within a five kilometer radius. Another nine samples were taken from sites either inside the Barnett Shale and more than 14 kilometers from a natural gas drilling site, or from sites outside the Barnett Shale altogether. The locations of those sites were referred to as non-active/reference areas in the study. Researchers accepted no outside funding to ensure the integrity of the study. They compared the samples to historical data on water wells in these counties from the Texas Water Development Board groundwater database for 1989-1999, prior to the proliferation of natural gas drilling. In addition to standard water quality tests, the researchers used gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS), headspace gas chromatography (HS-GC) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Many of the tests were conducted in the Shimadzu Center for Advanced Analytical Chemistry on the UT Arlington campus. Natural gas drilling is one of the most talked about issues in North Texas and throughout the country. This study was an opportunity for us to use our knowledge of chemistry and statistical analysis to put peoples concerns to the test and find out whether they would be backed by scientific data, said Schug, who is also the Shimadzu Distinguished Professor of Analytical Chemistry in the UT Arlington College of Science. On average, researchers detected the highest levels of these contaminants within 3 kilometers of natural gas wells, including several samples that had arsenic and selenium above levels considered safe by the Environmental Protection Agency. For example, 29 wells that were within the studys active natural gas drilling area exceeded the EPAs Maximum Contaminant Limit of 10 micrograms per liter for arsenic, a potentially dangerous situation. The areas lying outside of active drilling areas or outside the Barnett Shale did not show the same elevated levels for most of the metals. Other leaders of the Texas Gas Wells team were Laura Hunt, who conducted her post-doctoral research in biology at UT Arlington, and Zacariah Hildenbrand, who earned his doctorate in biochemistry from the University of Texas at El Paso and performed post-doctoral research at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Hildenbrand is also the founder of Inform Environmental, LLC. Fontenot and Hunt work for the EPA regional office in Dallas, but the study is unaffiliated with the EPA and both received permission to work on this project outside the agency. Scientists note in the paper that they did not find uniformity among the contamination in the active natural gas drilling areas. In other words, not all gas well sites were associated with higher levels of the metals in well water. Some of the most notable results were on the following heavy metals: After we put the word out about the study, we received numerous calls from landowner volunteers and their opinions about the natural gas drilling in their communities varied, Hildenbrand said. By participating in the study, they were able to get valuable data about their water, whether it be for household or land use. Their participation has been incredibly important to this study and has helped us bring to light some of the important environmental questions surrounding this highly contentious issue. The paper also recommends further research on levels of methanol and ethanol in water wells. Twenty-nine private water wells in the study contained methanol, with the highest concentrations in the active extraction areas. Twelve samples, four of which were from the non-active extraction sites, contained measurable ethanol. Both ethanol and methanol can occur naturally or as a result of industrial contamination. Historical data on methanol and ethanol was not available, researchers said in the paper. The paper is called An evaluation of water quality in private drinking water wells near natural gas extraction sites in the Barnett Shale formation. A Just Accepted version is available here on the journal website. Other co-authors include: Qinhong Max Hu, associate professor of earth and environmental sciences at UT Arlington; Doug D. Carlton Jr., a Ph.D. student in the chemistry and biochemistry department at UT Arlington; Hyppolite Oka, a recent graduate of the environmental and earth sciences masters program at UT Arlington; Jayme L. Walton, a recent graduate of the biology masters program at UT Arlington; and Dan Hopkins, of Carrollton-based Geotech Environmental Equipment, Inc. Alexandria Osorio and Bryan Bjorndal of Assure Controls, Inc. in Vista, Calif., also are co-authors. The team used Assures Qwiklite system to test for toxicity in well samples and those results are being prepared for a separate publication. Many from the research team are now conducting well water sampling in the Permian Basin region of Texas, establishing a baseline set of data prior to gas well drilling activities there. That baseline will be used for a direct comparison to samples that will be collected during and after upcoming natural gas extraction. The team hopes that these efforts will shed further light on the relationship between natural gas extraction and ground water quality. The research published this week is representative of the important work going on at The University of Texas at Arlington, a comprehensive research institution with about 33,800 students and more than 2,200 faculty members in the heart of North Texas.

2	BREAKING: Obama Just Announced He Is Going To Redesign Americas Flag To THIS According to recent reports, President Obama has sparked controversy after announcements that he will be releasing a limited edition American flag. The flag will be on sale by the Obama campaign, and shows the 50 stars replaced by President Obamas campaign logo. Americans will reportedly be allowed to purchase the flag for $300. There is also a second flag design in the shape of the United States, that we reportedly be used on special occasions. This directly violates rules that the American flag shall never bear nay mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing on any nature. Reactions to the design on social media have been almost universally negative, especially among those who have served our country and see the flag as a symbol of freedom and justice. A good number of my family, including me and my twin sons, have served under the flag, one user wrote in response to a picture of the design. This is so far beyond insulting. I cant imagine anyone who considers themselves a patriot supporting Obama. Who does he think he is? What do you think of flag? 
2	Obama Signs New Executive Order Permanently Implementing Martial Law At the end of last week, President Obama moved forward with executive action to expand his own authority. With little media coverage, Obama signed the National Defense Resources Preparedness order, which called for a permanent state of martial law that only needs to be activated by the president at any given time. If that is the case, the entire economy will be in the control of the president, and he will be given the authority to establish nationwide procedures, including general distribution of any material to the civilian market. Thats not all, however. If the president decides to enact the program, all manufacturing in the country will cease without his approval. The administration will have the ability to seize private companies and facilities. Essentially, the American public will be dependent on the government for any ability to make money or purchase goods or services. As if thats not even, civilian transportation will also fall under control of the government, as will water resources and energy facilities. This is real, people. Anyone who thinks that Obama is leading for the people is in denial. This is a dictator were dealing with. What do you think? Do we need President Obama out of the White House immediately? 
3	American Sniper: Lies and Propaganda to Divide a NationBrandon Turbeville Of course, the American oligarchy via its mouthpiece mainstream media has firmly attempted to draw the battle lines If you like Chris Kyle and American Sniper then you are firmly in the camp that supports the troops, loves your country, and opposes terrorism. If you do not view Kyle as a hero, then you are clearly in the camp made up of pinko-commies, socialists, and terrorist sympathizers. And, of course, if you dont think Chris Kyle was a hero, then you hate the troops. But the truth is that Chris Kyle was not a hero. Chris Kyle was a murderer. He was also a war profiteer and a liar. One need only look to Kyles past history and his own words to see the proof of that statement. In his book, American Sniper, Kyle repeatedly referred to the people whose land he invaded and whose families he helped kill as savages, regretting only that he was unable to kill more of them. Kyle wrote, People ask me all the time, How many people have you killed? My standard response is Does the answer make me less, or more, of a man? The number is not important to me. I only wish I had killed more. Not for bragging rights, but because I believe the world is a better place without savages out there taking American lives. Everyone I shot in Iraq was trying to harm Americans or Iraqis loyal to the new government. I had a job to do as a SEAL. I killed the enemy an enemy I saw day in and day out plotting to kill my fellow Americans. Im haunted by the enemys successes. They were few, but even a single American life is one too many lost. Kyle was proud of the savages he killed. Not only did he not regret it, he loved it. He wrote, Theres another question people ask a lot: Did it bother you killing so many people in Iraq? I tell them No. And I mean it. The first time you shoot someone, you get a little nervous. You think, can I really shoot this guy? Is this really ok? But after you kill your enemy, you see its okay. You say, Great. You do it again. And again. You do it so the enemy wont kill you or your countrymen. You do it until theres no one left for you to kill. Thats what war is. I loved what I did. I still do. If circumstances were different if my family didnt need me Id be back in a heartbeat. Im not lying or exaggerating to say it was fun. I had the time of my life being a SEAL. Kyle seemed to enjoy his torture of the Iraqi people boasting about his number of kills and having a great time chasing them with remote controlled hummers as they screamed, presumably thinking it was some kind of weapon being aimed at them. Kyle also boasted of his ability to punch cattle so hard back home that he twice broke his hand. It should be noted that, abusing animals, of course, is one indicator of a psychopath. After his stint in the US military, Kyle moved on to more lucrative pastures the private sphere of war profiteering. Becoming the president of Craft International, a military tactical firm working with both the US military and law enforcement, Kyle continued to benefit off the wholesale slaughter of innocent people overseas and the increased police state here at home. War profiteering was not enough, however, as Kyle was then turned loose as propagandist by erroneously claiming that he had once been in a bar fight with Jesse Ventura, whom Kyle claimed had insinuated he was happy about the death of Navy SEALs. Kyle claimed that he became angry with Ventura and punched him in the face. Ventura had been a vocal critic of the war in Iraq and painting him as a heartless criminal that rejoiced in the death of American soldiers served to denigrate both Ventura and other critics of the war. Ventura subsequently sued Kyle, but Kyle was killed before the court case was resolved. Ventura was then painted as a heartless troop-hater that sued a poor soldiers widow. It cannot be overlooked that Ventura won the case and was awarded $1.8 million by a federal jury. Now, with the release of American Sniper, Kyle is being portrayed as not only a victim of Ventura, but a genuine hero who exuded honor in his actions that were allegedly solely designed to protect Americans and the lives of his brothers. But Kyles representation in the media is not only inaccurate, it is disgraceful. Kyle was bloodthirsty. He was a murderer. And he was proud of his actions. But Kyle has now become a symbol of supporting the troops. With the use of liberal blowhards like Michael Moore as the opposition, the die has been cast you either love the troops and are a conservative or you hate them and are a liberal. In the mainstream media and, thus, in the minds of the vast majority of the American public, there is no in between and there is certainly no independent thought. To see such a murderer glorified by the mass media is nothing new. What is truly disgusting, however, is the reaction given to those who dare criticize the new Christ of killing. The complete rejection and borderline violent reaction to anything that resembles a hesitation to rush to war in this country is both frightening and extremely dangerous. Much of this reaction has come from blowhard reactionaries and entertainment-based commentators. Yet, many average Americans have fallen prey to the culture of militarism and pro-war propaganda to the point that American Sniper has now become akin to what the Passion of the Christ was for Christians. Americans, so overcome with their worship of militarism and so devoid of the ability to tell fact from fiction are now reportedly standing up and giving ovations when the fictional Kyle kills the bad guy of the movie. It is this grouping of individuals who have been the most vocal in their support for a war based on proven lies and virtually every armed conflict that bankers, corporate interests, and the US government have been involved in as well as those in which it may become involved in in the future. To nearly half of the population, war is the answer. The question doesnt matter. As Paul Craig Roberts wrote, In the United States patriotism and militarism have become synonyms. The fact that their religion tells them killing is wrong is no matter. Their religion supposedly gives a pass for the orders of politicians and generals. Torture is fine too. In fact, in the eyes of the Hollywood generation, the ability to torture is the hallmark of a true man. Any suggestion to the contrary is nothing other than sympathizing with terrorists and hating the troops. And, of course, unless you yourself have served in the military and participated in combat you have no right to criticize Chris Kyle, the war, or foreign policy in general. In America, only military personnel or combat veterans are allowed to have an opinion. That is, an opinion on war and invasion. An opinion on sub-standard health care, combat pay, GI bill loans, mental health assistance, homelessness or other economic or health-related issues that pose as much of a danger to the lives of veterans as the war they came back from is reserved for academics, politicians, and commentators. Yet, frankly, I am sick of hearing how I should not criticize the war or the horrendous acts routinely carried out by US military personnel unless I have taken part in the same acts. I do not have to go to war to know that killing is wrong. I do not have to experience the horrors of war to know that shooting children and old women is wrong. For someone to say that I do is nothing but a moral cop out on their part. I will criticize foreign policy, the implementation, and the results of that foreign policy as well as the perpetrators any time I wish. To suggest otherwise is akin to the tired and ridiculous adage If you dont vote, you cant complain. Yes, I can. And I will. Furthermore, I will not leave it if I dont like it. It is an absolute demonstration of hysterical irrationality to suggest that someone leave their home country which they have every bit as much a right to inhabit as anyone who has worn a uniform to leave that home simply because another individual who feels particularly entitled through Hollywood and incendiary political rhetoric disagrees with his opinion. It is also ridiculous to suggest that criticism of foreign policy equals criticism of the individual soldiers fighting the battles on the ground. The truth is clearly that wars are always started by people who are not forced to fight them. If they were, then wars would never be fought. However, it is also true that those people who start wars do not fire bullets, drop bombs, or throw grenades. It takes men wearing uniforms not suits to do that. Unfortunately, all too often those men in uniforms are throwing grenades at people with whom they have much more in common than those men in suits. Unfortunately, those men in uniform are shooting people who have done nothing to them or their countrymen, but have had the tragic misfortune of being born in a place where natural resources or geopolitical interests can be found. So, regardless of the well-meaning ideals or the best of intentions many soldiers may have when they sign up for service, we must not pretend that these men and women are fighting for us. As General Smedley Darlington Butler once stated, I served in all commissioned ranks from a Second Lieutenant to a Major General. And, during that time, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for Capitalism. Butler was one of the most decorated soldiers in the US military at the time and he had figured out the game. It was too late to change anything that had happened, but he figured it out. Many other soldiers from all ranks and all branches have had the same experience and come to the same conclusion that what they thought they were fighting for at the time was nothing more than a lie and a business decision coming made at the top. Many of these soldiers have begun speaking out about the results of the tragic consequences of blatant and repetitive stupidity of the American populace and the treachery of its leaders both on the victim population as well as the soldiers themselves. These men and women are the true heroes. In fact, they are heroes twice over once for putting their lives on the line for something they believed in and twice, after realizing that the cause was wrong, for speaking out in an attempt to stop it from continuing and from ever happening again. The second time around, of course, instead of finding a band of brothers, they find derision amongst many of their own peers who simply cannot admit that they had been duped. There are still other soldiers who regardless of their conclusions, do not begin speaking out against the war or even becoming spokesmen for it they become drug addicts, alcoholics, depressives, or even kill themselves. These veterans, who are trotted out and called heroes and thanked for their service one day a year, are shunned and hidden for the other 364 days. This is because they show the underside of war. Instead of college degrees, big new trucks, and middle class houses, they have homeless shelters, crackhouses, and filthy hospitals. They have traumatic brain injuries. They dont have the John Wayne X Factor anymore. After all, young people arent inspired to rush to war by crippled old men they are inspired by flashy movies and braggarts. Clearly, in the minds of those who promote war both at the top levels and at the bottom some veterans are more equal than others. The question of military service aside, however, the most vociferous proponents of war tend to be those with no military service behind them at all. In other words, the biggest warmongers besides those at the higher levels of society who organized the war to begin with are often those who stand no chance of being affected by it. From the comfort of their own home, they call others cowards and unpatriotic knowing full well they will not be the victims of the massive eating machine marching overseas. But neither will they be the perpetrators. That would require too much genuine courage and effort. Instead, these individuals will live vicariously through 18 year olds who are not considered old enough to drink alcohol in their own country but old enough to be shipped off to kill and be killed in someone elses. The loudmouth back home, however, will watch the war from afar in the safety of his home, the comfort of his couch, and his ever-expanding waistline. The loudmouth back home will continue to brag about his friends and his relatives who served in the war as if he had done so himself. He is perhaps brave enough to attempt to bully someone he considers a panty-waist peacenik but not to pick up a rifle and shoot the enemy that he claims threatens his way of life. The truth is that he is a coward. He is loud. But he is a coward nonetheless. The truth is that he is the one destroying his way of life as well as the lives of countless others who are the victims of his vapid, pathetic, lack of masculinity for which he must overcompensate by his goading high school graduates into signing up for a living hell. Still, he will have the gall to argue that, If you havent served in the military, keep your mouth shut. But if he wants to follow that statement to its logical conclusion, then hed better pick up a rifle himself and stop asking someone elses children to do it for him. He should put his money where his mouth is. These arguments, however, are only ever intended to work to promote war not stop it. It is blind nationalism, blind patriotism, and blind repetition at its best. It has worked since the inception of nations and even before. There is no reason to believe that it will stop working now. Killing people who have done nothing to you is wrong and, in the end, your motives are largely irrelevant it is still wrong. Some have no regrets. They revel in their kills. They are a special breed of psychopath that will go far in todays society. Others cannot bring themselves to face the results of what they have done. Others still, have realized the consequences of their actions. They realized they have made mistakes. While nothing can change those mistakes, resisting the truth, avoiding personal responsibility, and hiding behind veils of patriotism will ensure that they continue to happen. Chris Kyle, of course, was of the former variety. There are military veterans all across the country who still fight their battles daily. There are others who grapple with the results of their actions but who are also fighting to awaken others to the fact that war is, indeed, a racket. They are the heroes not Chris Kyle. These men and women are truly fighting for the American people, not promoting the slaughter of innocent people from the flickering light of a flat screen. Americas priorities are entirely skewed. Years of Hollywood propaganda and oligarchical domination have seen to it that certain things are not discussed, people are separated from one another, and dialogue is always stopped short. When the United States is done being used as a battering ram for the world oligarchy, its militarism will come back to haunt it. It has no other choice. It has been the same with every empire. I wish I could say that its not too late for ours but, to be honest, Im no longer so sure. Recently from Brandon Turbeville: Brandon Turbeville is an author out of Florence, South Carolina.

Thank you for this! you mean fanatic fanatic/fnadik/ No muzzled101I meant fantastic. The propganda that paints him as some kind of hero is sick, especially when you read his direct quotes. Do you call any of the muslims that have killed Americans fighting for what they believe in a hero??? The fanatics re you braineashed lemmings that watch Faux News. Lol same old socialist rhetoric. You lemmings dont even know what socialism is.Many of you even have civil service jobs and supported BushBamas bailout of the banksters.lol muzzled101 lives in the world where up is down and down is up. because youre educated and you know everything for me Divide and conquer. Resist these divisions: the people, if ever united, will never be defeated. Brilliant article! It was just a movie and entertainment to the max. I always seem to enjoy an Eastwood movie. Everyone has his view and will comment, but dont miss te entertainment Excellent article, Brandon. You hit the proverbial nail on the head about the disconnect between the pro and anti war voices. What is lacking so dearly on the pro war side is critical thinking. If they truly analyzed how wars start, they would likely have a cognitive disconnect upon finding the truth. The breakdown of the educational system have lead to a larger voice of stupidity ranting throughout the nation. It is bad and only getting worse with the new state of continual war. Wowsers! If you want to know anything about the horrors of combat, and the men who do the fighting, just ask a candy-ass liberal thats never been in a dangerous neighborhood, let alone a combat zone where the enemy doesnt wear a uniform, buries a bomb, and then hides among the women and children. Keep up the good work you dipstick! WTF has liberalism VS. conservatism got to do with the content of the article? Not a dam thing. I find it strange that any time a person disagrees with the collective indoctrination of statecraft, that person is labeled a liberal. Wake up from youre dualistic only mind. Left vs. Right = fake Forgot to take our meds today, did we? Careful, or theyll make you start your sophomore year all over again. great article! Clint Eastwood must be getting senile to put his name on this piece of propaganda! He is only interested in making money. Eastwood despises America Hey, thats right! Only liberals are allowed to pump out their left-wing bilge. Whats a liberal?That old paradigm is deader than hell.Money owns the Party.Hillary and Obomba are warmongering perverts You must have not bothered to actually watch the movie. No political agenda at all in the film. Yes killing is not to be glorified. The problem with your writing is you seem to excuse ISIS,Boko Haram, palestinians provoking Israel to defend themselves by creating killing and kidnapping methods, the bombing of Christian churchs, throughout the Middle East, defiling Christian history, forced marriages and selling for sex, expelling Christians from lands they occupied before Mohammed was born, (Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq,etc.)crucifications, beheadings, because these things have links to the Koran itself. You, true to your activist leanings, ignore all these such violent and evil acts.Beheadings even in North America are never commented on. You follow the US Bad Jews Bad Christians Bad slant that you read on the Al-Jazeera type sites you pick up your facts from, arent I right here? I read absurdities that Boko Haram was created from the West, ideas so ridiculous as to not bear commenting. Obama, whose half brother is associated with Christian persecution in Africa, seems to turn a blind eye to Islamist evil, why did he not attend the French memorials to the brave news cartoonists? Is the whole world supposed to kiss ass to Sharia Law? Is that your idea of peace? Even if the whole world was subject to Islam there would be killing of Shiite and Sunni, and decapitation daily. Your type seems to believe that the only problem in the Middle East is that it is not 100% under control of the Islamists, which is the direction it has been going ever since Christian Egypt was forcibly taken over by Islamists many hundreds of years ago, just as Africa and the Middle East is now. Thankfully the Egyptians stood up to the Muslim Brotherhood radicals and deposed them, which the peoples majority support. War is Hell, I do not defend the movie, I will not see that movie, but there are times when was is necessary, if not for defensive war you would be under the Germans and/or the Japanese today. I read absurdities that Boko Haram was created from the West, ideas so ridiculous as to not bear commenting. Maybe not so ridiculous, seeing as how you commented (no comment IS a comment) upon it. So why is it so ridiculous, other than you said it was? I read this idea last week in an activist post article, like other writings such as blaming the US and/of NATO for creating ISIS, when yes ISIS took weapons intended for the moderate opposition, but that in itself did not create ISIS. I find a curious lack of balance in many such writings, it is OK to read this with a grain of salt , but not to take these ideas as facts or complete analyses. ISIS is al-Queda, and there is no question al-Queda is a creation of the CIA and Zbigniew Brzezinski. My type? Do you mean a person who *thinks* about what he/she believes and does *actual* research? A person who reads BOOKS on subjects and doesnt depend on a few paragraphs between the sports pages or a comment from a paid propagandist on TV to formulate his thoughts for him? Do you mean someone who applies the concept of Cui Bono or Who Benefits? when analyzing World events to determine who is actually behind the latest scare and propaganda hes supposed to rush in behind? Do you mean someone who has the capacity to logically and methodically disassemble and discredit the bullshit that the people are fed on a daily basis? That type? Your comment is lock-step with MSM propaganda youre running your programming flawlessly so I know the following is probably falling on deaf ears, but just in case, its worth noting that not everyone who is against war is a coward or anti-Christian or anti-US or a Muslim-sympathizer. Some people who are against war are heavily experienced and decorated soldiers. Theyve been there . Have you? (and yes, I have with scars to prove it). Theyve smelled and tasted and seen and lived war. One of the greatest soldiers who ever lived Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler wrote a book about war and whos really pulling the strings- War is a Racket. You can get it for free. Do a search for it and youll find a PDF but before you do you may want to look Butler up on Wikipedia and read about his life as far as soldiers go, he makes Kyle look like a complete pussy. They used to call Butler Old Gimlet Eye, but if hed have lived today, they would have called him The Terminator.. To be honest, even though your comment was meant to be insulting, I dont feel insulted I only feel sympathy for you. I think we all would like to believe what were told by people in positions of authority it makes us feel safe but there comes a point where the thinking mind can only tolerate so much cognitive dissonance before its had enough. Theres no doubt that its scary to make the transition from non-critical thinking to thinking for yourself but once youve made the leap, its very freeing. You might want to give it a shot. The problem with your writing is you seem to excuse ISIS,Boko Haram, palestinians provoking Israel to defend themselves by creating killing and kidnapping methods, the bombing of Christian churchs, throughout the Middle East, defiling Christian history, forced marriages and selling for sex, expelling Christians from lands they occupied before Mohammed was born, (Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq,etc.)crucifications, beheadings, because these things have links to the Koran itself. I do not see criticizing killing as excusing killing. That kind of logic is circular and foolish at best. Youre excusing others to do it. No. Killing is killing no matter if it is done by party A or party B. What is being expressed is killing is seen as wrong. The act of killing is seen as wrong, period. Anyone can perform an action. That does not excuse anyone from having that action criticized. War is Hell, I do not defend the movie, I will not see that movie, but there are times when was is necessary, if not for defensive war you would be under the Germans and/or the Japanese today. The problem in this argument lies in the fact that this war is not a defensive one. This war all began with George Bush Jr., who preemptively attacked. Preemptive [ http://tinyurl.com/kez9p97 ] as agreed on meaning from American Heritage reads interestingly enough as such. In simple terms he created this war before anyone else could act. If no one else had acted, there was nothing to defend against. There was no reason or compelling evidence for the United States to act. Terrorism is a criminal action which warrants a criminal trial, justice. This war is not either a trial or justice. And honestly, calling it a war is illegal and in error. Only Congress may declare war legally, which in this case it did not do. You twist your own logic. Would you execuse defenders for killing? If so, you are at odds with what you wrote above. The United States has invaded another country. Those in the country are defending themselves, sure, they are killing too. You say that is wrong. The United States is not defending anything, anyone. The United States is still killing. That is why you are at odds within your own argument. You excuse one party over another. That is not the argument presented. The argument presented is, killing is wrong, period. You are attempting to excuse one side yet justify that side by blaming the other side. Sorry, that does not fly. DId I defend Bushs going into Iraq? Hell NO. Where did you get that idea. I have to go into hell now to deal with the macho selfnews types that love to put others down. I just believe that thou shalt not kill like the Jewish- Christian BIble said,although self defense is necessary. That is why Islam with its direct command to smite the infidel at the neck and other laws giving women a fraction of the rights of men and the right of Muslims to dominate non-Muslims and/or kill them is extremely offensive to my morality. That is the main thing I would like to say here on this posting. The Germans actually stood resolutely against the race of people whose famous representative, Gutle Schnapper, said If my sons did not want wars, there would be no wars. Here we have the thoughts of the new pseudo-liberal skinhead neo-Nazis. Nazis had brains too, they came close to having a major nuclear bomb they would have used against us. While you are in intellectual ivory tower with your anti- Semitic semi-paranoid spider web formulations. You are totally blind to how the Islamists are taking over Europe and Obama is helping them here too, how will you like living under Sharia, where there is total gov control by religion? That would make you long for the good old days when Judeo-Christian values included general sep. of church and state. Some people nowadays are so far left that they are in the far right side, like yourself. the USA remember Auschwitz same time they praise the brave brave troops You are misrepresenting the Germany and Japan were FORCED into war by the very same malevolent cabal who are currently fomenting religious polarity, and political agitation around Russias borders. Those who were REALLY responsible for WW1 and 2 are now again doing their best to spark the third global conflagrationjust as they predicted they will. Ninety percent of the turmoil in Muslim countries are directly as a result of venomous Western malfeasance. The vulgar womb of global terrorism is U S A congress and senate and the U S A military are the mercenary fodder to the bankster elite Forced into war? Japan was hell bent on dominating Asia, Germany was hell bent on taking over Europe. I cant deal with irrationality. activist mentality is perverted intellectualism it seems, seen with blaming the US for everything that happened . Conspiracy theories are for brain games, not for reality. DId the US make Iran and Iraq go to war with each other, when the Shia-Sunni conflict goes back for ages? Did the US cause Russia to try to take Afghanistan? Have you ever researched the ugly history of Islamist domination in the world? Have you studied what the Islamists are doing in taking over most of the Middle East? A leader of Iran said their goal is owning all of it, and their bomb making is their attempt to do this. Islam is the most violent force today, without 911 the idiot Bush would not have gone to the same kind of stupid extremes that made for Germany starting WW2 over their humiliation from WW1. Great article! The best Ive read on American Sniper and our foreign policy in general. I served 6 years in the military including 4 years on active duty in the Marine Corps during Vietnam. But, shamefully, as a stateside coward I never killed anyone so maybe I have nothing to say on the matter. I am also a conservative Christian who has watched in horror an disbelief as my fellow Christians cheer, wave the flag, and sing God Bless America at the suffering and death of innocents in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. What Bible are the reading? I worship Christ, the Prince of Peace who said to Love you enemies. And the Iraqis are not even our enemies. They and we have the same enemy, Satan, the Prince of Darkness, who manifests himself in the money junkies, corporate boardrooms of war profiteers and central banks. When we wake up and stop the senseless slaughter of each other and roust the scoundrels from power we can, at last, live in peace, trust, and harmony with our fellow man. Argo all best picture nominees the academy love propaganda There are some truths and some untruths in your article. First of all I am retired Special Forces. You will find very, very few men that want to go to war. We are the first to be shot at. No war would be nice. Being in war is like going to work for FMCO every. It is just a job. Now when I say it is a great job that does not make the military tyrants. If not for the military you might be speaking German or Japanese by now. You act as though the other side in this case is totally correct. You do not recognize the fact when Kyle says he is sorry he did not kill more that he is talking about soldiers that would take his, mine or your life and think nothing of it. He is not talking about innocents. You or anyone else has the right to criticize anyone you please whether you are right or wrong and you are wrong in this case. Of course we all have opinions. One does have to been in war to criticize the soldier for keeping the peace. I spent 25 years in the uniform to protect that right. If you would cover fairly both sides this would have a great article. You, just as the rest of the liberal world though only look through one (1) piece of glass and never see the other side. God bless and maybe some day you will understand. I only hope your understanding does come as you having you head separated from your body by the terrorist enemy. I spent 25 years in the uniform to protect that right. If you would Thank you for that. Did you volunteer to do it, or were you conscripted? Yes, that point matters. If you volunteered then, you have no reason to offer your service time as a complaint. You chose to serve on your own at that point. It is no one elses fault you served. You cannot say then, you served to provide for others if you chose it for yourself. If you chose you may have chose to do it for the pay. You may have You chose for you, not for anyone else. If you were conscripted then, you did not choose. Then, you may consider your service a complaint. Not having choice then, yes, you may have served to protect others. Either way, I thank you for simply doing the job. I only hope your understanding does come as you having you head Can you not comprehend how you having such a view is perceived as being highly inhumane? At best, you expressing having such a view lends others to perceive you as psychopathic. Can you then not comprehend why such a view warrants criticism? If not, I apologize for no longer having hope regarding you as a human being. A very interesting statement. I dont often discuss things as this with a person that absolutely speaks in complete circles. 25 years of having your brain pawned to an evil corporation that only serves a few. Congratulations! We all have opinions as we all have assholes and you are entitled to yours. My brain has never been pawned to anyone. I am very aware of where my brain is, do you know where yours is? If not for men such as myself have you ever thought of where you might be at this time, the language you might be speaking and would you be able to freely criticize as you now can and do? What would you recommend in place of your so called evil corporation. Your answer will be greatly appreciated. You have much more class than many of the commenters on this site. You do not recognize the fact when Kyle says he is sorry he did not kill Of Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials As a combat veteran of two wars, I can say that I have zero respect for Kyle. He was not brave he was the furthest thing from it. He lay prone shooting through 8 holes in a brick walls, killing people 400 yards away who had no idea he was there. Snipers arent brave the grunt kicking open the door and charging into the unknown is brave. The grunt walking down the street beside the tank right out in the open is brave. The soldier who realizes that hes been fooled by slick propaganda and endless brainwashing and admits it to himself is brave. Those who revel in killing soldiers and civilians alike suffer from the same black-rotten psychopathic sickness as those in the hallowed halls of government they have no soul. Youre just a real hero, arent you? Assuming you actually did serve and thats a risky assumption, you most likely were the fearless commander of some mess kit repair company. A pointless insult. Is that all you can do? Too difficult to actually refute him point by point? This guy displays his ignorance of combat tactics and sophomoric philosophy like the psuedo intellectual he is. You need to go cash your welfare check buy yourself another bottle of wine. What was he ignorant about? And whats the difference between an authentic and a false intellectual? For one thing, this self-described combat veteran of two wars doesnt understand the difference between a scalpel and a sledgehammer; the sniper kills only the exact bad guy who is trying to kill Americans while the IED bomber doesnt care how many innocent people are around when his bomb goes off. Our hero isnt a false intellectual, he is a pseudo intellectual. Read your dictionary while Scott is cashing his welfare check. Whats wrong with calling savages, savages? They might eat you. Id squeal like a pig. The more you squealed, the more they would enjoy their meal. Theyd call that a Happy Meal. Some of them would cook you before eating you. Some would boil you in a big pot, especially if you were wearing a pith helmet. Some would roast you on a spit, over an open fire, and would call you Long Pig. Thats just the way it is. Toast and marmalade for tea, sailing ships upon the sea, arent lovelier than you, or the games I see you play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1SenDxZAbA The Millennial Generation Motto By Chteau Heartiste: The most Millennial statement ever put to print is: Heres why thats a problem. Pathological solipsism and mile wide but inch deep self-esteem are a bad combo. The id of the Millennial Like Me Generation is a furry suit wrapping a toddler.

Bolsheviks and communism spilled blood by the hundreds of millions. Two devastating world wars ravaged the northern hemisphere with a cataclysmic third being fomented and instigated at this very moment. Genetically modified food forced onto societies.

In all this MALEVOLENCE you will NOT find Islam!

The DA, just like the ANC, denies that there is an ongoing genocide on the white people of South Africa. Plenty of blood and death of men, women and children unreported by the mainstream media . Why is it that you throw your toys out of your pram because of the injustice done to a bunch of diaper-headed savages in other countries ? Oh wait, I get it.

But ARE they savages? Do you actually know any of these people murdered by the US armed forces? Calling them savages instead of people or Iraqis de-humanises them in ones mind and makes it easier to overlook ones guilty conscience when torturing and killing them. It damages your own humanity. That is why it is wrong to call them savages. Yeah lets give our soldiers behavior modification therapy so they will treat the perceived enemy like the delicate special snowflakes that they are. No, Im not in support of any of Americas Zionist wars for Israel. But nevertheless, a soldier fighting in a war referring to the other side in non-PC terminology is an issue of least-importance. The trouble is, Chris Kyle did that even when not fighting in a war. He did that while safely at home writing his book: In his book, American Sniper, Kyle repeatedly referred to the people whose land he invaded and whose families he helped kill as savages, Excellent article! I think the people have allowed things to progress so far the U.S. has crossed the Rubicon and there is no turning back.The PNAC is accomplishing exactly what they stated in their PNAC document of seventy-six pages white paper(Rebuilding Americas defenses) to take out seven countries they have targeted and millions of Americans, especially Christian Americans dont seem to care. Like Bush, who said that God spoke to him and told him to invade Iraq most Christians saw Iraq as a holy war. America has long ago decided if God wont destroy the evil men of this world then, it is Americas duty to do so. Killing millions of innocent men, women and children has never bothered most Americans. Studies found that America will always support war if it is skillfully sold to them. What better way than call it a holy war? Great article very well written, many thanks. Yet, frankly, I am sick of hearing how I should not criticize the war or And when someone who actually HAS volunteered and taken part in war sees the wrong and decides to speak out against it, ala Pat Tillman, look what happens to him. i sometimes write on conservative and liberal sites. Nation of Change, and IJReview (cons). Talk about becoming the whipping boy for the unthinking! Others should consider getting a different perspective on that site as it is VERY heavy towards total support of police state, and War, war, war! apparently Brandon you have never been in combat. If you dont look at the enemy as savages you begin to sacrifice your own sanity. If chopping peoples heads off on camera isnt an act of savagery then tell me what is? I pray to God that you never have to face the horrors of a battlefield.. American Psychopath punching cows at home Its Excellent article, and I agree completely! The slogan Support our troops was a public relations campaign to get people to support the war in Iraqand people fell for it. Killing another human being is the worst sin, unless it is in self-defense. America is accountable to God for every unjust war it has fought. I would consider the Vietnam war and the Iraq war to be unjust wars. America was neither invaded nor attacked by Iraq. Both the Vietnam War and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have not benefited America (except for those who have made a lot of money from those wars), but have done great harm to Americathey have caused the injury and death of our young men and cost us billions of dollars. Now we have large numbers of homeless veterans who are not getting the help they need. I was in the Navy during the Vietnam war and married a Marine whom I found out years later had fired on women, children and old men. Were divorced now. He collects 100% disability for PTSD. I dont consider my ex a hero or the thousands more like him. you are a parasitic tapeworm in need of an enema That wasnt a movie review at all. This reminds me of the film Inglorious Bastards with the sniper they made a hero and movie of. Same thingadoration for dealers of death. The more you kill, the more esteemed. what a sickness. As Satan prefers, take that which is bad and make it good. You couldnt PAY me to see this brainwashing piece of shit. A lot of lies and propaganda to further divide us in this article. Kyle was exactly what this article says he was and it is nothing to be bragging about. You sick fools calling him a hero do not deserve to call yourselves Americans. What Kyle stands for to you is so far off base of what America is supposed to stand for, he may as well have been a sniper for Hitlers troops and you may as well be good little NAZIs. Support peace or Ill kill you! Sieg Heil!! I note that my comment to the contrary regarding the article itself and the accolades which I see below has not been posted. Sir you are therefore a low type of person unable and unwilling to accept challenge. Chris Kyle was a man. Like all of us he had his faults and his strong points. Many people have forgotten this. None of us are perfect and of of us ever will be. He served his country and came home from war. Like many who came home he had good times and bad however he had done his duty. He was murdered by a man he thought was his friend. That is the sad part. None of us are perfect and many of us believe we have the right to say bad things about this man. I do not believe I have that right. I will close by saying he not only did his duty as a soldier he did it well. I recently started a little bit of a troll fest on FB by making this statement. I doubt it will have the same effect here but who knows, a flamers gonna flame and a douche is gonna douche Do I have some antiquated sense of chivalry? When did shooting someone from a distant hidden position become anything other than an act of cowardice? I dont think Chris Kyle is a saint. I think he lied. But I think you are on the same level of being a liar and idiot. 
1	Although reckless driving and minor driver impairment were cited as additional factors, police investigators ruled pure, unadulterated stupidity as the primary cause in the death of an unlicensed motorist involved in a single-car accident Sunday. The scene of the idiotic accident. 'We're fairly positive the deceased was operating under the influence of being an unbelievable dumbass,' forensic investigator Evan Lawrence told reporters at the scene, a stretch of road littered with SUV parts, beer cans, food containers, fishing equipment, and pornography. 'I mean, we're not saying alcohol, fatigue, poor vehicle maintenance, and driver error didn't play their partsbut mainly, that driver was a goddamn dipshit.' The violent and inane mishap occurred at approximately 4 p.m., just north of town, where Highway 63 passes beneath the railroad bridge. A 25-page accident report released to the press Tuesday contained such details as 'leg hooked through steering wheel so driver could use both hands to light cigarette,''handgun case slid under brake pedal, preventing it from being adequately engaged,' and 'carotid artery lacerated by bottle-opener bolted to dashboard.' Deputy Craig Zemke of the Lee County Highway Patrol said nothing in his 13 years on the force prepared him for the moronic things he saw. 'As soon as we rolled up, I turned to my partner and said, 'Jake, I can feel it in my bones: This is gonna be a stupid one,'' Zemke said. 'When you approach an accident scene and see an inflatable doll stuck in the still-smoldering branches of a tree littered with the remnants of illegal fireworkswell, you know you're in for an idiotic sight.' Zemke's partner Jake Mills explained that, although it is often difficult for investigators to ascertain what might have triggered an accident, the cause of Sunday's accident was 'immediately and pathetically obvious.' 'See, usually, the vehicle's sudden-braking skid marks don't start a mere six feet from the concrete pillar,' Mills said. 'Usually, the vehicle doesn't have a gas tank held to its frame by a bungee cord and two leather belts. And, in almost all cases, the driver isn't halfway through the windshield with a half-bottle of Everclear grain alcohol in one hand and an electric nose-hair trimmer in the other.' 'The police cruiser hadn't even stopped rolling by the time I'd penciled in 'stupidity' under 'cause of death,'' Mills added. 'After that, I spent a few hours taking measurements, snapping photos, and shaking my head at what a dumbass this guy was.' Although investigators can't exactly reconstruct Sunday's chain of events, it appears that the driverdrunk, barefoot, pants-less, and leaving a double shift at a nearby FD&C Yellow No. 5 food-coloring plantsaw a train approaching on the right and stupidly decided to accelerate and beat it to the intersection. 'I deemed the motorist bone-stick-stone stupid for several reasons,' Lawrence said. 'First, no motorist should ever attempt to outrun an oncoming train. Second, no motorist should ever place an ashtray containing two lit cigarettes on top of a car seat drenched in 190-proof Everclear, as the scorch marks on the deceased's crotch will attest. Finally, and this is the real mind-blower, the accident occurred at a spot where the train tracks pass over the highway on their own bridge. Apparently, the numbnuts panicked when he saw the train approaching, veered off just before entering the underpass, and sent his truck into the bridge abutment. So even though 'stupid' barely begins to cover it, let's decide that it's an adequate description of the cause of death and leave it at that.' The moron's name is being withheld out of respect for his stupid family, which is preparing lawsuits against the Arkansas Highway Department, the Union Pacific Railroad, and the David Sherman Corporation, which produces Everclear. 
3	Establishment Media Blames Facebook for Trump VictoryBy Kurt Nimmo Facebook has been accused of possibly swaying the election by promoting fake news stories on its social network, an increasingly important source of information for many Americans. The AP didnt mention specific news stories to back up its claim. Trump has said social media played an important role in his campaign. USA Today: Trump, who estimates that 28 million people follow him on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, touted social media during a 60 Minutes interview with Leslie Stahl on Sunday night, saying social media was a key factor in defeating Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump often used Facebook and Twitter to combat falsehoods and attack his enemies. When you give me a bad story or when you give me an inaccurate story or when somebody other than you and another a network, or whatever, because of course, CBS would never do a thing like that right? I have a method of fighting back, he said during the interview. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg denies his network pushed out fake stories that helped get Trump elected. Of all the content on Facebook, more than 99% of what people see is authentic. Only a very small amount is fake news and hoaxes. The hoaxes that do exist are not limited to one partisan view, or even to politics. Overall, this makes it extremely unlikely hoaxes changed the outcome of this election in one direction or the other, Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post. The hoaxes consist primarily of stories about Trumps scandal-ridden opponent. Mike Caulfield cites a fake story posted at the Denver Guardian as an example. The story in question, FBI Agent Suspected In Hillary Leaks Found Dead In Apparent Murder-Suicide, was shared on Facebook 568,000 times. This false story is one of thousands of fake news stories being circulated around Facebook by fly-by-night hyperpartisan sites this election cycle, according an investigation by Buzzfeed News, writes The Denver Post. The Post attributed the fake news sites to teenagers in Macedonia trying to profit off the popularity of Trump. To put this in perspective, if you combined the top stories from the Boston Globe, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and LA Times, they still had only 5% the viewership of an article from a fake news site that intimated strongly that the Democratic Presidential candidate had had a husband and wife murdered then burned to cover up her crimes, writes Caulfield. In the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Bush neocons routinely used the establishment press to spread lies about weapons of mass destruction and Iraqi involvement with al-Qaeda. Judith Miller of The New York Times specialized in writing stories propagating neocon propaganda. Something else is overlooked here. Every week, fewer and fewer people get their news from establishment media websites. The establishment media is less popular than Congress. Kurt Nimmo is the editor of Another Day in the Empire, where this article first appeared. He is the former lead editor and writer of Infowars.com. Donate to ADE Here. Hillary blamed the new F.B.I investigation for her loss. The Why not own up to the fact/s. People no longer desire the status quo. If you run a business and make a bad product / service people dont buy. I did not vote. My wife did vote though. I did not influence her vote, Establishment Media Blames.? The establishment doesnt like it when people think or act outside the box that has been carefully (but not successfully) placed around their brains, so when and if they do think they are blamed, shamed and scolded. Social media has taken on a life of its own no matter how much the establishment tried to control it. They cannot keep people from talking to each other because theyve made sure every single person on the planet has a smart phone attached to their ears and eyes and now they want to call it all back for a do-over? Im sure the 3 billion $ of free advertising provided by the msm had NOTHING to do with it. See the flying pigs? My Facebook feed was filled with nothing but hatred for Trump. The Dems really need to get their stories straight ! Weird, your FB feed is a lot different than mine. I had hatred for both of them in mine. MSM is truly in a parallel universe MSM was in Hillarys pocket. A point in every direction away from the obvious.is the same as No point at all. That Banshee cry of hers showed her evil side. Hey, youre a fake news site! How odd it is that anyone should not see that all observation must be for or against some view if it is to be of service. Charles Darwin I have one word for the Hildebeest. 
2	It Only Took 10 Seconds For Thugs To Learn Why They Shouldnt Steal In Texas Recently, a Texas mother was leaving a shopping center when she was attacked by two strangers, who attempted to grab her purse from their car and ended up dragging her down the lot. Luckily, a good Samaritan who witnessed the incident was brave enough to intervene. Reportedly, the witness pulled a concealed carry weapon on the criminals and stopped the incident from going any further. Brenda Vasquez witnessed the entire incident, and reported to KHOU tv, This lady opens her car door, grabs the womans purse and they reverse. While theyre trying to reverse, the lady is holding on to her purse still, chasing them all the way to the middle. And that good Samaritan came out, drew his weapon and scared them, Vasquez continued. And thats when he pulled them out of the car. The man was able to keep the robbers at gunpoint until police arrived on the scene. 
1	Sources within the Red Wings organization confirm that goalie Chris Osgood, who is currently engaged in accompanying the Stanley Cup on a victory tour of talk shows and publicity events, has repeatedly and insistently claimed to have gotten as far as third base with hockey's championship trophy during the past week. On Tuesday night Osgood, teammate Nicklas Lidstrom, and the Stanley Cup made an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno during which Osgood was seen repeatedly touching and attempting to hold the Cup. Witnesses say that after the segment had taped, Lidstrom left for the airport, while Osgood and the Cup left together for the Four Seasons Hotel. Housekeeping staff said Wednesday morning that the Cup's room had not been slept in. When asked for comment, Osgood himself initially refused to give details. 'Listen, it's tradition for us to all kiss the Cup. But I'm not one of those hockey players who are always saying 'I'm gonna fuck that Stanley Cup,'' Osgood told ESPN's Jim Rome when asked about his involvement with the trophy on Wednesday's Jim Rome Is Burning. 'I mean, everyone dreams of winning the Cup, that's only natural. But it's not like that with me. Come on, man.' However, when Rome attempted to change the subject to Osgood's long and tumultuous Detroit career, Osgood, apparently warming to the subject, continued to talk about his relationship with the Cup. 'Okay, now, I'm not saying there isn'tit's a powerful feeling, when you win the Cup, and sometimes that leads to other feelings that are just as powerful,' Osgood continued. 'Things happen, but you and the Cup both want them to happen, and you go back to the hotel and ask it to watch Dirty Dancing, and eventually maybe you get into some up and over, or there's some up and down and underneath, or maybeI'm not saying this happened, but you knowmaybe there's more than one way to kiss the Cup.' 'A better way,' a grinning Osgood added as an evidently stunned Rome remained mute. 'A way that brings the Cup as much pleasure as the Cup brings you. Or the great city of Detroit, for that matter.' Reaction from the world of hockey has, predictably, been mixed. Although the Stanley Cup is more revered than other trophies, perhaps because of its accessibility, not everyone is comfortable with the prospect of it being involved in mild to moderate sexual contact with a player. 'I know that every player on the winning team gets a day with the Cup. That's just tradition,' said Detroit hockey fan Roy Wertree. 'And no one deserves that day more than Chris, because he really got us through the Finals. And I know he and the Cup are both old enough to make their own decisions, but I don't know. Something about Osgood and the cup gratifying one another in a sensual fashion is just weird.' 'Why would he even want to?' asked Grosse Point's Meg McEntyre. 'I mean, the Stanley cup is older than he is, for one thing. And do you know how many guys must have kissed it over the years?' Although the NHL has not officially commented on the event, sources within the organization say that Osgood's experience may not be unique. 'For years there have been rumors that the Stanley Cup had been involved in unusual relationships with top players,' said ESPN's Barry Melrose. 'Mark Messier was rumored to appear late at night outside the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto in the offseason, shouting the Cup's name until the police could escort him home. Wayne Gretzky was once seen standing between his furious wife Janet and the Stanley Cup in the corridor of the Edmonton Hilton, clad only in a towel and repeatedly denying that the Cup was destroying their marriage. And Gordie Howe's career was haunted by rumors that he allowed the Cup to tie him to seedy hotel beds. It's all part of why this is the greatest sport in the world.'

2	This Is It, FBI FINALLY Makes Its Move Against Hillary Clinton For Treasonous Behavior The FBI neither confirmed nor died the existence of any investigation against Hillary Clinton. Until now. They have finally released a statement saying that they are going after her for her treasonous use of the private email server. In a letter disclosed Monday in a federal court filing, the FBI confirms one of the worlds worst-kept secrets: It is looking into Hillary Clintons use of a private email server. Why say this at all, since it was widely known to be true? Because in August in response to a judges direction, the State Department asked the FBI for information about what it was up to. Sorry, the FBI said at the time, we can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any investigation. Now, in a letter dated February 2 and filed in court Monday, the FBIs general counsel, James Baker, notes that in public statements and congressional testimony, the FBI has acknowledged generally that it is working on matters related to former Secretary Clintons use of a private email server. Baker says the FBI has not, however, publicly acknowledged the specific focus, scope or potential targets of any such proceedings. He ends the one-paragraph letter by saying that the FBI cannot say more without adversely affecting on-going law enforcement efforts. The letter was filed in one of the Freedom of Information Act cases brought against the State Department over access to documents from Hillary Clintons time as secretary of state. This one was filed by Judicial Watch. Should Hillary be sentenced to life?

3	The Green Agenda Looks Set To Crash The GridChris Carrington The International Energy Agency estimates there will be 20 million electric cars on the worldsroads by 2020, but theres no mention what those cars will do to ailing power grids across the planet. The United States power grid is barely fit for purpose as it is. It struggles to cope in times of excessive demand, such as when millions of air conditioning units are running in the summer, or there is excessively cold weather in winter. Adding a few million electriccars into the mix could well provide the straw that breaks this particular camels back. Energy companies, who are not slow in hiking prices at the best of times, will see usage peaks as people arrive home from work and need to charge their vehicles; and where there are usage peaks there are higher prices. Those priceswill not be for the individuals that own the electric cars, they will be for everyone who uses electricity during the peak period. Level one charging, where you simply plug your car into a wall socket in your garage, takes much longer to charge the car than having a level two charging station installed. Theres a good explanation of the differences here. Plugging in at home will take 22 hours to charge an average electric car from empty to full. You get around 4.5 miles range per hour of charge. The US Energy Information Administrationestimates the average US home uses around 900kWh of electricity per month. So by comparison, the electric car seems pretty good, 2520 kWh per year and the average home comes in at 10,800 kWh per year, but, as usual, theres a but. Based on the General Motors figures, four electric cars will equal one house in terms of electricity demand. The 96,000 electric cars purchased last year are drawing the equivalent of 24,000 homes from the already overstretched grid. Should the rise in electric vehicleusage continue at the same pace, 178,560 new electric vehicles will be purchased this year. Those vehicles will use as much electricity as 44,640 homes, and dont forget the vehicles brought last year, and the year before, and the year before that are not included in that figure. As an example, this is almost four times the number of homes than there are in Westport, Connecticut, ten times the number of residential homes in Placerville, California and half the number of residences in Boise, Idaho. Electric cars are drawing the equivalent of a decent sized town, or half a citys worth of electricity a year from the grid. Remember, this is only based on new sales, not including all the electric cars currently on the roads of the United States. As we are constantly pushed to move away from gasoline and other fossil fuels the number of electric cars on our roads will continue to increase. Incentives to offset the cost of installing charging stations in domestic properties makes the cheap-to-run electric vehicles an even better proposition. They are cheaper to run based on the current cost of gas against the current cost of electricity, but their very nature says they will become useless rust buckets should the grid fail, and unless something is done to improve this critical infrastructure, fail it will. Economically those who are driving electric cars may be saving money over using the combustion engine, but their personal savings come at a price and a high price at that. Crashing the power grid because of increasing numbers of electric cars seems rather like cutting your nose off to spite your face. My purely personal opinion is that this is very short-sighted as it leaves us facing the possibility of rolling outages and all the difficulties that entails, just to fulfill the green agenda and the tax revenue it raises. The green agenda is at best dangerously flawed and at worse a possible kill shot for millions of American citizens. Life as we know it is changing, and there is every possibility that those changes will speed up as the government and their corporate partners continue to push their dangerous policies down the throats of the American people.

2	Why Michelle Claims We All Take Barack Obama For Granted When President Obama ran for office in 2008, he promised the American people hope and change. Maybe he should have been more clear that that change would not be for the better. Recently, First Lady Michelle Obama made some ridiculous statements at a Democratic campaign event. She referred to her husbands presidency as one of the nations greatest. She then went on to discuss the cultural changes that have taken place while they have occupied the White House. Just think about how different our country looks to children growing up today, she told the group. Think about how our kids take for granted that a black person or woman can be President of the United States. Of course, she also went on in an attempt to absolve her husband from the responsibility of his actions, claiming that we can only judge his presidency in the context of the mess left behind by President George Bush. And finally, she closed her argument with a threat to all Democrats: if we lose these midterm elections, its going to be a whole lot harder to finish what weve started. 
2	The Great State Of Texas Slams Michelle Obama In THIS Heroic Way As a First Lady, Michelle Obama has made it clear that she is determined to control our lives as much as she possibly can. This attitude has mainly manifested itself in her healthy school lunch program, which has been universally unsuccessful. The efforts attempted to get kids to eat healthy yet the food being served looked almost inedible. Thats why Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller decided to take a stand by lifting a ban on deep fat fryers and soda machines on state school campuses. Were just saying if you want, go get one, Miller told reporters. Were not going to mandate what you do. Millers decision stems from his belief that parents and teachers should be responsible for a childs diet, rather than the government. He also pointed to the low success rate of Michelles program, which he claims has compounded the problem instead of making it better. Miller then went on to claim that he will introduce Farm Fresh Friday, helping school cafeterias connect with local farmers to provide fresh food. His approach is to teach children about nutrition, rather than literally forcing rules down their throats. What do you think of Millers decision? 
1	Numbed by 30-plus years of recording more than 700,000 major and minor earthquakes, seismologist Richard Keefer, 58, told reporters yesterday that earthquakes measuring below 7.0 on the Richter magnitude scale do absolutely nothing for him anymore. 'In my younger days, even something as small as a 3.0 would get my blood pumping,' said Keefer, adding that once you've felt a 5.5 quake, you've felt them all. 'Now I'm lucky if a 6.8 even gets me out of bed.' According to Keefer, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which measured 9.0 on the Richter scale and killed more than 225,000 people, was the last time the seismologist felt alive. 
1	The holy and sacrosanct miracle of birth, long revered by human civilization as the most mysterious and magical of all phenomena, took place for what experts are estimating 'must be at least the 83 billionth time' Tuesday with the successful delivery of eight-pound, four-ounce baby boy Darryl Brandon Severson at Holy Mary Mother Of God Hospital. The milestone was achieved by Carla Severson, 32, an unemployed cosmetology-school graduate and homemaker, and her husband of 14 years, Dwayne Severson, also 32, a former screen-door factory worker and freelance lawncare contractor. Experts say the miracle most likely was the result of the pair engaging in an otherwise routine act of sexual intercourse at some point during late May 1998. The miraculous birth is the couple's fifth. Delivery-room personnel cut the umbilical cord of Darryl Brandon Severson, the 83 billionth miracle of birth and the fifth to occur in the Severson household. 'This truly is a miracle,' said OB-GYN floor nurse Sandra Meese, placing Darryl Brandon in the New Births Room of the hospital's maternity ward, where he joined 32 other equally miraculous babies. 'Looking down into this precious child's red, screaming face, so barely distinguishable from all the other wailing children surrounding him on all sides, one is reminded of just how special and unique the gift of life really is.' News of the landmark 83 billionth birth sparked an outpouring of good tidings from around the globe, with millions of well-wishers sending cards and letters offering blessings to the media-dubbed 'miracle baby.' Dozens of world leaders have phoned to express their congratulations, including Chinese Premier Li Peng, who called Darryl 'a living miracle' and 'a joy to all mankind.' Warring factions in Kosovo, Sierra Leone and Turkey have called week-long cease-fires in honor of the miraculous birth. In a special message from St. Peter's Basilica, Pope John Paul II spoke of the miracle child. 'In our all-too-cynical modern age, the birth of Darryl Severson is proof that miracles do indeed exist,' the pope said. 'In this special time, it is fitting that we should offer thanks and praise to our Father in Heaven for this, the most precious of His blessings: the blessing of life.' The pope went on to commend Carla Severson for her abstention from birth control, a sin which, had it been committed, would have prevented her pregnancy and delayed humankind's reaching the 83 billion mark by as much as 1/64th of a second. The pope also noted that, with a total of five certifiable miracles to her credit, Mrs. Severson may qualify for canonization as a saint after her death. Narrowly missing the chance to be the record-breaking 83 billionth baby were Manoj Ranaghat, born 1/16th of a second earlier to starving peasants in the drought-stricken village of Bijapur, India; Phillippe Duclos, born 1/32nd of a second earlier in Lyon, France; and Baby X, delivered just 1/64th of a second earlier than Darryl in a Bronx housing project, but unfortunately born dead. 'I'm overjoyed for the Seversons. They are truly blessed,' said Marcia Ott, a neighbor of the family, reacting to the sudden crush of media attention focused on their small Arkansas town. 'I've heard about miracles before, but you never think something like this is going to happen to someone you know.' The miraculous birth will likely have a major impact on Dwayne and Carla Severson, as they are expected to devote a majority of their waking hours tending to the baby's many miraculous needs. When not getting miraculously waken at 3 a.m., the couple will be miraculously occupied feeding Darryl and changing his miraculous diapers whenever he miraculously defecates. But for all the attention, the couple remain humble about their achievement. 'It wasn't exactly like we planned it, to be honest,' Dwayne said. 'In fact, when Carla told me she was pregnant again, I was kinda worried, on account of me losing my job at the screen-door factory and all. Money's real tight right now, and I wasn't sure we could make ends meet. But still, us having to sell the trailer and temporarily move back into Carla's parents' place isn't so bad, if you think about it, since it's a such a miracle, I guess.' 'I love my baby so much,' Carla said. 'He's the most precious little angel that ever flew down from heaven.' Though the 83 billion figure is the one generally agreed upon, experts concede that the precise number is somewhat more nebulous. 'It all depends on how you tabulate the miracles,' Cornell University biology professor Dr. Isaac Gregson said. 'Eighty-three billion includes not only all the humans who have ever been born, but also all the Cro-Magnons, Neanderthals, Australopithecines and other proto-hominids going all the way back to the first mammals. Of course, if you were to include the rest of the vertebrates in the animal kingdom, it would be even higher. And if you were to also include plankton, unicellular microorganisms and all plant life, the actual number would be closer to, say, umpteen gadzillion. But why quibble about numbers at a time like this? Darryl's birth is a one-of-a-kind special moment that has deeply inspired the world, reminding us all of just what it is that life is all about.' Noted essayist and biologist Stephen Jay Gould agreed, calling the latest addition to the Severson household 'a miracle beyond compare.' 'It's an amazing turn of events, no doubt about it,' Gould said. 'Just think: A spermatozoa from a male mammal fertilized the ovum of a female mammal, causing a fetus to develop and, in time, come to term and pass through the female's birth canal as a new being. It just goes to show that there are some mysteries even science cannot explain.' 
1	Describing him as both creepy and kind of a weirdo, Fox NFL color commentator Daryl Johnston admitted Wednesday that he does not feel comfortable being alone in the broadcast booth with play-by-play partner Kenny Albert. Whenever theres a pause in the action, all Im thinking about is how badly I want to get the hell out of there, said Johnston, adding that he was disconcerted by Albert slowly rocking back and forth while licking his lips and emitting small giggles at seemingly random intervals during every commercial break.Theres something off about him. Occasionally, without warning, hell move over close enough so that our thighs are just touching, and then hell stare straight ahead with this big dumb grin on his face. Its really unsettling. Johnston added that he is equally disturbed by Alberts unwavering insistence that they book adjoining hotel rooms. 
1	Still fuming after his team blew a late-inning lead in a loss to the Rays Sunday, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen filled out Tuesday night's lineup card with a series of expletives, insults, and personal attacks on his players. The lineup card, posted in the dugout at approximately 6 p.m., referred to the team as the 'Chicago Shit Sox,' and read in part, '1. Orlando Fucking Cabrera, 2. Goddamn Motherfucking Neckless Bastard A.J. Shitbag Pierzynski DUMB!!! FUCK!!!, 3. Jermaine Fucking Gonna Dye Fucking Shit 0-For-5 Shitfuck Fuck Fucking Fucknuts Asshole Just Try Me Motherfucker.' Guillen also announced that Nick Shitlicker [Swisher] would be starting in centerfield and Jim Thome would be the 'designated fuckface.'

2	The State Of Texas Just Did Something Beautiful In Honor Of Chris Kyle For Memorial Day Weekend [SEE PHOTOS] According to recent reports, the Texas Senate just passed House Bill 1187, thereby designated a segment of U.S. Hwy 287 to American hero Chris Kyle. Chris Kyle Memorial Highway was passed earlier this month, and is now on its way to Governor Greg Abbott for an official sign off. Kyle was deemed an American hero after achieving 150 kills as a Navy SEAL sniper. He was given two Silver Stars, five Bronze stars with Valor, and several additional achievement medals before he was tragically killed. Although his status as a hero has been a controversial one, thousands of patriots throughout the country showed support for Kyle by attending his memorial service at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. Nearly 7,000 people attended. Do you support Abbott signing the bill? 
1	Noting the ceaseless onslaught of issues constantly nearing the eleventh hour, Americans across the country told reporters Tuesday they are sick and tired of all this looming stuff. Frankly, I would like a week to go by where I dont hear about some sort of showdown or crisis that is looming, or brewing, or rearing its head, or anything like that, said 34-year-old Matawan, NJ resident Jonathan Lear, echoing the thoughts of all 315 million U.S. citizens who have expressed a strong desire for the nation to take a break from either approaching or being on the cusp of anything at all, including conflicts, deadlines, decisions, battles, something ending, something beginning, something getting worse, or something getting even worse. I dont want to hear about how another bad or difficult thing we need to avoid is on the horizon or right around the corner. Just let all the horrible impending shit thats going to happen happen so we can at least get it over with and move on with our lives. The American populace did confirm, however, that they are more than happy to hear about anything that is in the nations rearview mirror. 
1	Screenwriter Jeff Haynes has refused to admit that actor Justin Long would be perfect to play video game tester Pete Knowles in his new film Change Of Plans, sources confirmed Saturday. 'I think this is a role someone like Leonardo DiCaprio could really sink his teeth into,' said Haynes, who knows deep down that Justin Long's easygoing, boyish charm would make him ideal for the part. 'We need an experienced actor who is convincing as a romantic lead, but also someone who can just cut-up and be funny.' When asked if he had ever considered the possibility of Long playing the character described in his screenplay as '5-foot-8.5-inches tall, with wide eyes, bushy eyebrows, and a charismatic smile,' Haynes said he hadn't, but would be okay with producers bringing the actor in for a cold read 'just to see.' 
1	After 30 years in the real-estate business, Jack Parker knew what he was: retired. His time in The Life had given him more than his share of ups and downs, and the veteran RE/MAX agent was finally out of the game for good, with a little house of his own and some money socked away. Yes, Jack Parker's days of proudly serving the home-buying needs of the greater Cincinnati area were over. Retired agent Parker stands before his last big score. At least, that's what he thought. Last Thursday, four months after hanging up his red RE/MAX blazer, Parker was drawn back in for one last big score. 'I was out on the porch, taking a little nap, when I hear a guy walk up,' Parker said. 'I tell him go away, I don't want any of whatever he's selling, thank you, when a voice I never wanna hear again says he might have a job for me. And I think, oh, Christ. It's Sneaky Pete.' 'Sneaky' Peter Kelp, a rattlesnake of a broker in his mid-40s who has had a hand in upwards of half of all Harrison home sales since the mid-1980s, had a job all lined up. And Parker, he knew, was the perfect guy to pull it off. All he had to do was bait the hook. 'Nice little place you got here, Jack,' said Kelp, giving Parker's modest suburban split-level the once-over with what Hamilton County realty insiders call 'the sharpest gimlet eye this side of the Ohio.' 'I mean, it's not where you'd expect a hot realtor to retire to, but I guess it keeps the dogs off your scent, so to speak.' Shooting Parker a telling sideways glance, Kelp added: 'But it's no 1.5 acres of prime Harrison property with a 6.31 percent 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, either, you know what I mean?' 'I knew right then he was working an angle,' Parker said. 'He knew it hurt me to retire without that one last big score. But I wasn't about to get up out of my chaise lounge. The realty game cost me my health and a couple of perfectly good marriages. I wasn't about to go back to that. So I tell Sneaky Pete I'm retired, and that there ain't enough commission in the world, and that he can get off my property, thank you very much, and who the hell ever heard of a three bedroom/four baths on a prime piece of Hamilton County property for just $237,851, anyway? But he just smiles and throws a picture of a house in my lap.' 'And, oh, man, what a house,' Parker added. Through his various realty-world connections, Kelp had been able to secure guarantees on a 3,200-square-foot one-story home on Westlake Court, an area with low property taxes and good public schools. 'Sneaky Pete says to me, 'It's the one last big score every realtor dreams of,'' Parker said. ''The commission on this, you simply would not believe. It's a cream puff, a lead-pipe cinch in the right hands. But that's the catch: I gotta move it in 30 days, or it reverts back to the client's estate for tax reasons. I gotta do this now, Jackie Boy, and that means I need your magic.'' Parker sighed, put his head in his hands, and told Kelp to ankle it off his half-acre lot. 'I just waited,' Kelp told reporters. 'I knew it wouldn't be long. I left the photos and the floor plan there. And he hadn't said no.' Two nights later, Kelp received a call from Parker shortly before 3 a.m. 'Okay, damn you,' Parker said. 'I'm in. But we do it my way this time, with my guys. And no screwups, Kelp. I'm not letting you do me like that splanch in Walnut Hills.' Parker soon had his scheme nailed down. An anxious Parker cases the 3,200-square-foot joint. 'We get a guy interested, see,' Parker said. 'We show him pictures and tell him how lovely the place is: the all-new moldings, the built-in fireplace, the vaulted ceilings. 'They don't make 'em like this anymore,' that whole rap. Then we pick him up wherever he wants, in broad daylight. He doesn't suspect a thing. We take him right in through the front door, just like we own the place, hand on his arm. Real friendly. Real friendly. We lead him around, maybe I say something about the screened-in porch or flagstone patio or some snow job like that, and I sneak behind him so I can see him but he can't see me. Then, when he walks through the French doors into the living room... blammo!' Parker then smacked his fist into his palm to illustrate the buyer's reaction upon seeing the broad expanse of hardwood flooring leading up to the bay window with the view of Pike's Pond. To make sure things go as smoothly as a double-glazed picture window, Parker has contacted all of his old associates from the realty game. 'It ain't gonna be easy,' Parker said. 'I must've cased the joint with Kelp a million times. I had two specialists drive down from Dayton with a truck full of fancy equipment to sweep the place for bugs. I got the best roofer in the business, Big Beef Manzo, checking the shingles. And, if things get down and dirty, I just call in Joe The Cleaner to have a little talk with the client. He'll clean the place up nice.' Kelp said he never had any doubt that Parker would be in on the plan. And he has no doubt about his motivation. 'Parker isn't doing it for the money,' Kelp said. 'He thinks he is. But I know why he's really doing it: the thrill of the sale. It's in his blood. He loves the plan, the pitch, the drama of it all. It's the only thing in his life he's ever been good at, and he knows it. It took him all of 36 hours to call me after he threw me off his acreage. Oh, he's in, all right. He's in for life.' 
1	According to bewildered sources near gate B52 at Denver International Airport, the man cheerfully and energetically going about his tasks behind the counter of the Burrito Beach Mexican Grille must not be aware that he works at an airport burrito restaurant. 'Hi, there! Where you folks headed today?' said the jovial man, who, judging by his upbeat attitude and easy-going manner, has no idea that he is an adult human being making $7.64 an hour to serve a never-ending stream of agitated, ungrateful customers. 'Orlando? I love Orlando!' 'You folks are going to have an absolute blast,' the man continued over the screams of crying children and the intermittent drone of flight announcements, apparently forgetting that he wakes up at 5:30 a.m. and spends his entire shift interacting solely with people who want nothing more than to get food from him as fast as possible so they can be on their way. 'Say hi to the dolphins for me!' Travelers departing from terminal B this morning confirmed the man currently singing along to the horrendous soundtrack of top 40 hits assaulting the restaurant's loudspeakers has been observed chatting amiably and cracking jokes, as if his job didn't involve wrapping burrito after burrito for impatient customers who do not enjoy the food's taste and frequently complain about its price. In addition, the man who spends 50 minutes every single morning finding a parking spot and then going through airport security before he can even clock-in for his mind-numbingly bleak job has reportedly requested high-fives from a number of children. 'More pico?' the man has been overheard to inquire throughout the day, in a tone indicating he is unmoved, unconcerned, or incognizant of the fact that he receives less than $2 in tips over an eight-hour period. 'You want guacamole? Sour cream?' 'Tell you what: I'll throw in some hot sauce just in case,' he has added with an encouraging nod, as though the restaurant's patrons have the slightest appreciation for his extra effort or care about anything other than grabbing their burrito and getting away from the atmosphere of buzzing fluorescent lights and chemical food smells in which he spends every moment of his working life. Noting the man's habit of enthusiastically drumming on the countertops and neatly arranging the napkins and utensils on each customer's tray, several travelers speculated the man might suffer from a personality disorder that prevents him from noticing he's 15 years older than all his colleagues and passes his days more-or-less standing in a single spot with no view beyond the closed-down Panda Express nearby. Moreover, observers expressed particular astonishment that the man had not once produced a long sigh, weary look, or downtrodden gesture of any kind, not even while wiping refried beans off the collar of the lime-green-and-red shirt he is required to wear every day. 'I really don't understand why he's smiling,' said United Airlines passenger Alex Rosenberg, who claimed he heard the jovial man say the words 'Hey, I like your style!' to a customer ahead of him in line. 'Is he somehow under the impression that he doesn't work here?' 'It doesn't make sense,' Rosenberg continued. 'Every day the guy has to haul himself in here and do the same thing over and over again. He does know that, right?' At press time, the man had reportedly waved goodbye to his coworkers, swiftly cleaned the countertops, and locked up the restaurant.

'With the threat of a lockout looming, we just started looking around and it dawned on us: We need to go fucking nuts out there one final time, just score a shit-ton of touchdowns and really kill it with some badass sacks,' Patriots owner Bob Kraft said. 'America's No. 1 sport may not have a season in 2011, but fans will at least be happy that we just rocked right the fuck out in 2010.' As of press time, the only public provision of the 'One Last Big Blast' plan is to increase the number of stadiums with pirate ships and functioning cannons by 31 before week 10.

3	50-Year-Old Man Cures Lung Cancer With Cannabis Oil, Stuns CBS NewsBy Amanda Froelich As you may or may not know, the survival rate of lung cancer is incredibly grim. It is estimated that the prognosis for Stage IA non-small cell lung cancer is less than 50%. Sadly, this drops as the cancer progresses. For a Stage IV patient, the likelihood of recovery is 1%. Aware of the odds against him, patient Darren Miller decided to supplement his chemotherapy treatments with cannabis oil. Clearly, he didnt just want to extend his life, he wanted to save it. After researching the benefits of cannabis oil and reading hundreds of other peoples personal stories of healing, Miller was confident the treatment was right for him. Millers wife quit her job so they could qualify for medical assistance, and they moved to California where he could supplement with the controversial treatment legally. Seven months later, Darren is officially cancer-free and has the hospital documents to prove it. He told an affiliate of CBS News: Today, which is seven months later, they tell me I am completely cancer-free not remission. Ive cured my cancer. Now, am I giving credit to the cannabis oil? Absolutely. Am I giving credit to chemo? I would have to say yes, too. I did both. After recovering from the incurable cancer, Miller and his wife moved back to Illinois. He now runs a compassionate cannabis program to help others who are struggling like he was. What were doing is were just making small amounts to keep it around and educating others on how to do this, he said. Because if you have access to any kind of cannabis, I can give you links on my site to show you how to do this in your own kitchen and save your life. What are your thoughts?

She told me I could have a lumpectomy, mastectomy or a double mastectomy, and said I should call her back when I had decided.

3	Nationwide Biometric Database Goes LiveNicholas West As suspected, what began as a border control initiative has now expanded to include everyone. As the video report below highlights, this billion-dollar program was spearheaded by Lockheed Martin, and will invariably include images of even non-suspects in one great sweeping dragnet of digital surveillance. The fact that Lockheed Martin was involved in developing the program should signal heightened concern given their integral role in drone technology. As this database is being rolled out, drones are set to take to American skies in much greater numbers by 2015. One of the latest military-grade systems can now scan 36 million faces per second, or every face in the U.S. within 10 seconds. It is a technology that has trickled down from use in war zones like Afghanistan. The merger between this FBI database and drone technology would be the next logical step. There simply has been too much invested in a coming Minority Report world to turn back now. Nevertheless, we at least have reached a critical mass of ideological pushback against agencies like the NSA. Could additional leaks from whistleblowers and the work of digital privacy activists help to thwart plans to enter all of us into the real-time surveillance matrix? Or will this technology expand and reach its full potential? Transcript by Jake Godin Its a program that still sounds futuristic, even today. The FBI announced its facial recognition program is finally up and running and it has some privacy advocates a little concerned. Labeled as the Next Generation Identification System, or NGI, the $1-billion program has been in development since at least 2008 when the FBI announced it was granting Lockheed Martin a contract to start building it. As youd expect withfacial recognition technology,NGI will pull in photos associated with criminal identities and compare them to millions of other photos taken from various sources. He had been on the run from the FBI for 14 years but was found in Nepal when the U.S. Department of State found his photo on a passport with a different name. (Video via KRQE) Using a Freedom of Information Act request, the Electronic Frontier Foundation obtained FBI documents showing the agencyplans to have 52 million photos in its database by 2015. Along with the fact that non-criminal photos are being stored in the database, the EFF says the FBI wont take responsibility for inaccurate matches. Also, nearly a million of the databases photos will come from unexplained sources. A writer for Techdirt isnt a big fan of the program either, saying:This program has some very serious issues, and its only going to get worse unless someone outside the FBI intervenes. And Engadget says the systems 85 percent accuracy is a little worrisome as well, pointing out that theres no explanation for what happens when the NGI generates a list of potential suspects which lacks the actual criminal. Following the EFF report, FBI director James Comey spoke at a House Judiciary Committee hearing in June to address concerns over the scope of the NGIs database. FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEYVIAC-SPAN: The pilot is mugshots because those are repeatable, we can count on the quality of them. There was not a plan and there isnt at present to add other, non-mug-shot photos. Which would seemingly contradict the documents the EFF dug up.

2	Hillary Caught Red Handed Giving Classified Information To EnemiesFaces These Consequences If Hillary Clinton has made anything clear since her departure from the administration, its that we need to keep her far away from the White House. The former Secretary of State has made it clear that she does not respect security procedures, and has little awareness when it comes to protecting classified information. Her actions have been careless and questionableand yet, there are still rumors that she will be running for president. According to a recent report from Breitbart, a former top intelligence official for the Obama administration recently made claims that it is very likely that other countries hacked into Hillarys private email. Lt. General Michael Flynn, who formerly ran the Defense Intelligence Agency, told Fox News Megyn Kelly that there is a very high probability that nations like China and Russia hacked into the private server, which was open to numerous security lapses. What do you think? Should Hillary Clinton face consequences for her carelessness during her time in the White House? 
1	Citing a widespread disinterest bordering on contempt for the programs most basic aims, Michelle Obama announced Monday she was shutting down Lets Move!, the initiative she created in 2010 to fight childhood obesity. Though I had hoped Lets Move! would promote healthier habits among Americas children, it turns out our young people simply arent interested in movingat all, the first lady told reporters. Seriously, not even a little. When I visit these schools and talk about exercise, most of the kids look back at me with blank stares. And the ones who do attempt to exercise clearly do not like it and stop almost immediately. Obama added that she expects to achieve far more success with her forthcoming Fine, Lets Just Sit Here Stuffing Our Faces Until We Drop Dead! campaign. 
3	Global Classroom: U.N. Infiltrates Education WorldwideSusanne Posel, Contributor The UNA-USA is a membership program of the UN Foundation, dedicated to building understanding of and support for the ideals and work of the UN among the American people. Its education, membership and advocacy programs emphasize the importance of cooperation among nations and the need for American leadership at the UN. Through education and mobilizing Americans to support the principles and work of the UN, the UNA-USA endeavors to contribute to constructive leadership in the US and ensure the US achieves the goals of the UN Charter. The creation of the global classroom is an education program based on the UNA-USA. They foster teaching techniques and curriculum as is exampled by the Model United Nations.Students pretend to be UN ambassadors and debate UN agendas in a role playing exercise that is meant to inspire the idea that global governance is the future of the worlds nations. Organizations such as the President of MTV Networks International and Bill Roedy, UNAIDS Ambassador, have spoken before the global classrooms international student delegation at the UN General Assembly. This combination of pop culture and UN policy has made the UN agenda one that will normalize global governance within the youth communities. This alliance has allowed several Americans to serve at the UNA-USA. These people include: In 1999, the UN Business Council (UNBC) was merged into the UNA-USA as a way to allocate support for the UN among world business leaders and employers of major US corporations. Recently the UNBC hosted an event where private sector leaders were able to meet with the UN and to discuss global topics of mutual interest, all in a relaxed and informal setting. Multinational corporations, member states and UN representatives, through the UN Global Compact,discussed ways in which they could assist in strengthening the UNs Sustainable Development agenda; which includes the implementation of Agenda 21 policies worldwide. Making better corporate use of Brazil and empowering the private sector leaders at the UN Earth Summit Rio+20 this month was foremost on the docket of topics. Georg Kell, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact, stressed that multinational corporations should be allowed unbridled access to the UN through corporate partnerships. Ambassador Torsella, the U.S. Representative for UN Management and Reform told attendees that the Obama administration is extremely committed to the UN as an indispensible organization. Obama is eager to collaborate with the UN and encourages the business community to engage in how the UN does things. Back in 2010, the UNA-USA created a strategic alliance with the UN Foundation to further entice membership to the UN by world leaders and multinational corporations. Their collaboration funneled more funds into the UNs infiltration into public education and creating advocacies that promote the UN. The UN Foundations sister organization, the Better World Campaign , focuses on making sure the relationship between the US and the UN remains strong. If there were ever a question as to why the US policies enacted by President Obama mirror those agendas of the UN, the answer is the UNA-USA.

He left the note on his desk for Trump, who will take his seat there later today. Obamawas spotted by reporters putting a white envelope into the right-hand drawer of the Resolute desk, which was given to President Rutherford Hayes in 1880. George H.W. Bush began this tradition by penning a letter to Bill Clinton after losing to him in 1992, telling the Arkansas Governor that the entire nation was rooting for his success. Obama left the Oval Office to join his wife Michelle as they hosted Trump and his wife Melania for tea before the inauguration. Congratulations, Obama told his successor as the Trumps walked up the stairs to the White House. Youll get used to the protocol. 
1	Following an evening out at a local restaurant with his girlfriend, Emily Lynch, and her parents, 27-year-old Jeff Platt reportedly worked up the courage Thursday morning to tentatively take a shot at bad-mouthing her family for the first time. So, your moms kind of got a lot of strong opinions, said Platt with an audible note of hesitancy in his voice, anxiously sitting on the edge of his seat as he waited for any reaction that might indicate Lynchs receptiveness to the criticism leveled against her mother for dominating the dinnertime conversation and refusing to admit she was wrongtraits that Lynch herself had vocally condemned numerous times before. Shes definitely, you know, never afraid to say whats on her mind. Sensing from her nonverbal cues that he had crossed a line, a panicked Platt is said to have quickly spun his assessment of Lynchs mother into a positive, saying that his girlfriend and her sisters were lucky to be raised by such a strong-willed woman. 
3	Leading Climate Scientists Say Paris Conference Failed, Call for GeoengineeringBy Derrick Broze The Paris Climate Conference and subsequent Paris Agreement was an absolute failure. Not only was the entire premise flawed from the beginning, but the entire conference was a facade attempting to hide the influence of corporations on governmental policies. The Paris Agreement itself was another black eye to indigenous communities who attempted to have their voices heard, only to be drowned out by corporate colonization. Outside of the conference was not much better, with Paris resembling a police state stripping away free speech rights from protesters. Now that the people of the world are beginning to realize the conference was a sham we are seeing a larger agenda unfold. The Paris agreement called on the leaders of 195 countries to make efforts to keep global warming between 1.5C to 2C and to cut carbon emissions. But a growing group of scientists are warning the agreement does not go far enough and are now calling on the world to embrace the science of geoengineering. According to a 2013 congressional report: The term geoengineering describes this array of technologies that aim, through large-scale and deliberate modifications of the Earths energy balance, to reduce temperatures and counteract anthropogenic climate change. Most of these technologies are at the conceptual and research stages, and their effectiveness at reducing global temperatures has yet to be proven. Moreover, very few studies have been published that document the cost, environmental effects, socio-political impacts, and legal implications of geoengineering. If geoengineering technologies were to be deployed, they are expected to have the potential to cause significant transboundary effects. In general, geoengineering technologies are categorized as either a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) method or a solar radiation management (SRM) method. CDR methods address the warming effects of greenhouse gases by removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. CDR methods include ocean fertilization, and carbon capture and sequestration. SRM methods address climate change by increasing the reflectivity of the Earths atmosphere or surface. Aerosol injection and space-based reflectors are examples of SRM methods. SRM methods do not remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, but can be deployed faster with relatively immediate global cooling results compared to CDR methods. In a joint letter to The Independent several of the worlds leading climate scientists state that the Paris agreement offers false hope and will not prevent further harm to the Earth. The Independent reports: The letter, which carries eleven signatures including professors Peter Wadhams and Stephen Salter, of the universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh, warns that the Paris Agreement is dangerously inadequate. Because of the Paris failure, the academics say the worlds only chance of saving itself from rampant global warming is a giant push into controversial and largely untested geo-engineering technologies that seek to cool the planet by manipulating the Earths climate system. The scientists argue the people of the world are not interested in real changes but only agreements that would save the world while leaving lifestyles and aspirations unchanged. Peter Wadhams, professor of ocean physics at the University of Cambridge and a signatory of the letter, told The Independent that geoengineering is becoming necessary to save the planet. Other things being equal Im not a great fan of geo-engineering but I think it absolutely necessary given the situation were in. Its a sticking plaster solution. But you need it because looking at the world, nobodys instantly changing their pattern of life, Prof Wadhams said. Eleven climate scientists signed the letter. They write: Our backs are against the wall and we must now start the process of preparing for geo-engineering. We must do this in the knowledge that its chances of success are small and the risks of implementation are great. Indeed the risks are great. At least one previous study has found that geoengineering could cause the white haze and loss of blue skies that Long is observing. According to a report by the New Scientist, Ben Kravitz of the Carnegie Institution for Science has shown that releasing sulphate aerosols high in the atmosphere would scatter sunlight into the atmosphere. He says this could decrease the amount of sunlight that hits the ground by 20%, as well as make the sky appear more hazy. Ironically, the promotion of geoengineering might actually cause more harm than good, including an increase in droughts. In February 2015, an international committee of scientists released a report stating that geoengineering techniques are not a viable alternative to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to combat the effects of climate change. The committee report called for further research and understanding of various geoengineering techniques, including carbon dioxide removal schemes and solar-radiation management before implementation. The scientists found that Solar Radiation Management, or albedo-modification techniques, are likely to present serious known and possible unknown environmental, social, and political risks, including the possibility of being deployed unilaterally. The report was sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences, the U.S. intelligence community, NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the U.S. Department of Energy. According to a 2013 study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, if geoengineering programs were started and then suddenly halted, the planet could see an immediate rise in temperatures, particularly over land. The study, titled, The Impact of Abrupt Suspension of Solar Radiation Management, seems to indicate that once geoengineering begins, the programs cannot be suspended without causing the very problem the engineering was intended to solve. Even with these dangers well known, the letter from the climate scientists still calls for geoengineering. We must look at the full spectrum of geoengineering. This will cover initiatives that increase carbon sequestration by restoration of rain forests to the seeding of oceans. It will extend to solar radiation management techniques such as artificially whitening clouds and, in extremis, replicating the aerosols from volcanic activity. It will have to look at what areas that we selectively target, such as the methane emitting regions of the Arctic and which areas we avoid. Dan Farber, professor of law at Berkeley University, also recently suggested the only way the world can hope to achieve the conferences goal of holding the global temperature decrease well below 2C would be to implement geoengineering programs such as injecting aerosols into the stratosphere or solar mirrors. Im not particularly a fan of geoengineering, and I will be happy to be wrong about this, Farber wrote. Otherwise, though, if we are serious about those temperature targets, we may end up with little other choice than layering some geoengineering efforts on top of aggressive emission cuts. The dangers associated with geoengineering are not the only controversy. There also exists questions over whether geoengineering programs are already active. This is what is derogatorily called the Chemtrails Conspiracy. Essentially, some believe geoengineering is actively taking place in our skies, and the contrails are actually geoengineering programs covertly being carried out. The chemtrails label comes from the portion of the crowd that believes these programs are delivering dangerous chemical additives to the food, water, soil, and humans below for nefarious purposes. Regardless of where you stand, its important to know the United States government has a history of weather modification. In a 1996 document entitled Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather by 2025, the U.S. Air Force discussed a number of proposals for using weather as a weapon. The Environmental Modification Treaty was signed by the United States and other nations to halt global weather modification. But the government did not simply research these ideas. It actually implemented them prior to its official musings on whether it could. During the Vietnam War, the U.S. government operated covert weather modification programs under Operation Popeye. The government does not only experiment with technology in foreign countries; it likes to try it at home, as well. In 2012, it was revealed that the U.S. Army sprayed toxic chemicals over the skies of St. Louis without informing the public. Anti-Media also recently reported on Professor Alan Robocks theory that the Central Intelligence Agency is using the weather as a weapon of war. So are geoengineering programs already active? If they are active, the current calls for geoengineering the climate might be an attempt at quietly revealing the existence of such programs under the auspices of fighting climate change. If the programs are not active the science of geoengineering still represents a dangerous, unpredictable technology.

Most reputable climate scientist believe that we are passing the warming trend and entering into a period of global cooling. As a result, governments can feed the military industrial complex with contracts for geoengineering, and since the climate will be cooling anyway, they can point to the great success of their efforts while the true intent of the spraying will be selective genocide. Very good summary. Chemtrail spraying has been going on since the late 90s. If you were paying attention anytime from then until now, all you need do is look up. chemtrails = the non-science term for Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Climate Engineering which has been actively deployed globally for many decades now; the 90s is when a good number of the More Aware really started to take NOTICE of them Hello, The Global Cooling/Global Warming/Global Climate Change nuts never seem to give up. Im getting worried that these goof-balls will cause some real problems with their meddling. What can be done to stop them from interfering? How can we get them to sit down and shut up? Bill Moore After having successfully destroyed California with seven years of geoengineering, its time to target new victims in the effort to maintain disaster capitalism and blanket genocide. And with your silence.YOU are making it possible! Congratulations. So are geoengineering programs already active? What a stupid question. Are pink clouds a natural phenomen? Ive been in Colorado all my 65 years. NOWclouds come up from the south or the southeast and head north or northeast. Weather manipulation has been a wet dream of the military for yearsnow its here. We dont have enough data over a long enough time frame to know whats happening with Earths climate. In other words, we dont even know if we have a problem, let alone know what the problem (if there is one) is. Yet bogus scientists working for big industry and big government think they can fix it when we dont even know what it is warming, cooling, changing, whatever yeah sure, they can fix it. God help us! Megalomaniacs trying to control nature. I know exactly who is at the bottom of that rat hole. Until we address the root cause of over-population there is no solution that will work. Yeah, I know. Theres too many useless shills like you. Geo-engineering is already going on, I have loads of photographs of chemtrails over my house and my rainwater has been tested and shows various toxic chemicals present that shouldnt be in normal rain water. Its the Geo-engineering that is causing the crazy weather. Its making it worse not better. There is no such thing as climate science. For it to be science there has to be a falsifiable theory. At best these deceivers are speculators. At worst, all too often the case, acting in the interests of the wealthy whose concern is profit. A speculator can get bigger profits by investing in a crop then calling in the geo-engineers, weather manipulators to destroy the crop and claiming the insurance. Why has the US regime done so little to alleviate CAs artificially enhanced drought? Consider Obama the speculator. He profited mightily from the carbon credits scam alongside Soros in the carbon credit exchange. He is just another criminal lackey, a Bush clone if you like, part of the problem. Climate Engineering aka Geoengineering has been actively deployed globally for many decades now; the 90s is when a good number of the More Aware really started to take NOTICE of them 
3	Prelude to Disaster: The Coming Instantaneous Collapse of Obamacare ServicesMac Slavo But how feasible is it really? We know its essentially a wealth redistribution scheme that takes money from one group of people in the form of forced tax payments, only to shift that money into the pockets of those who didnt earn it in the form of government subsidies to their health care premiums. But like all universal programs, the promise of free anything only works so long as you dont run out of other peoples money. That being said, a basic analysis of how Obamacare premiums work across the spectrum of Americas wide ranging socio-economic population suggests that its dead on arrival. Once the forced mandates take hold one of two outcomes become inevitable, as noted by The Market Ticker, whose Karl Denninger took a detailed look at the governments county-by-county premium data. The consequences of implementation will be disastrous. Either the Obamacare system itself collapses under its own weight, or the U.S. economy falls apart because of the extreme burden being hoisted on those who are responsible for paying the bill. Either way, were looking at an almost instantaneous collapse of one or the other. There are several very interesting statistical facts that come from this. First, if youre 27, the average premium is $266.20/month or $3,194.40 per year. How many 27 year olds have an extra $3,200 to spend on this? Remember, this is the price that virtually every uninsured 27 year old must be willing and able to cough up in order to prevent the model this system is predicated on from collapsing. If those 27 year olds dont show up, and they wont, then the system collapses instantly. If they do show up because the government threatens them with fines the economy collapses as $3,200 a year exceeds the average 27 year olds disposable personal income after mandatory expenses (e.g. food, shelter, etc.) Remember, there are always exceptions but these premiums are averages and over large pools of people the statistical averages are what matters not the ends of the barbell. It gets better. The average 50 year old premium, again, for single coverage, is $452.87, or $5,434.44/year. How many 50 year olds will find that attractive compared against what theyre paying now? Probably more of them, especially if theyre already sick. But how about the healthy ones? Note two things as well on this account these premiums are for non-smokers (smoker premiums are grossly surcharged with reports being 2x the above) and they do not account for anyone other than one person. If you are a single parent with kids (rather common) the premium on average is $610.23/month or about $7,300, and if youre a couple its $647.86 (again, $7,774 annually.) Now lets look at the governments own claims. First, the CPI index claims that health insurance is 0.656% of the family budget. What percentage of couples make $1.185 million a year? Why do I ask? Because thats the alleged median income for a couple if you believe the governments CPI numbers. Yeah, right. Next, while some people will get tax credits to offset these costs all that does is lard it up on the federal budget, because someone else has to pay that bill. In other words this is the true cost that will come out of your hide one way or another either directly by paying, indirectly by taxation, or indirectly by destruction of your purchasing power. Next, note that this is the 50 year old premium but you have to be 65 to qualify for Medicare. The price will rise each year after 50 that you happen to be and there are already reports that if youre 59 these premiums are understated by half. How many couples who are 59 and cannot qualify for Medicare yet have not $7,700 a year of extra money laying around but north of $15,000? Thats what I thought. Full Analysis at Market Ticker The whole idea is predicated on the notion that you can indefinitely take from Peter to pay Paul. But eventually Peter is going to run out of money and not be able to foot the bill, or hell simply refuse to buy into the scheme altogether. Like everything else government, the new health care initiative will be a complete and utter failure. The basic principles of mathematics will prove this to be true in coming months and years. As Denninger notes, America will be strangled and expire economically as a direct consequence of the marriage of the State and Health Care industry. The die has been cast.

2	Thug Breaks Into House, But He Didnt Realize An Armed WWII Veteran Was Waiting For Him According to recent reports, a 92-year-old World War II veteran in California was just able to fend off an ax-wielding burglar with a single shot from his pistol. The man lived in San Jacinto, a town located between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. I could have shot him right in the head between the eyes, Joe Milspa, a San Jacinto resident, told reporters at CBS. But I didnt want to do that. I would have been in trouble. Reports from authorities claim that the burglar used an ax to gain entry to the home, breaking through a window and crawling in. When Milspa fired his gun, the man ran off quickly, leaving the ax behind. This would have been a very different situation if Milspa did not own a firearm. What do you think? Do you support our second amendment rights?

However, when they entered the backyard uninvited, Sarge did his job to defend the home, and bit the police officer. Now, Vanderberg is fighting to keep her faithful pup away from being euthanized. According to reports, Vanderberg was inside taking a nap when the police arrived. After Sarge attacked the officer, the cops shot him with a stun gun. Ever since, the dog has been held captive by Bay County Animal Control. Im trying to be optimistic, Vanderberg told reporters, and she continues to fight. Im thinking things are going to start moving in the right direction. Vanderberg has received support from people in her community. Some have even started Facebook pages, petitions, and online fundraisers in support of her pup. What do you think? Should Sarge be returned home? 
3	Dr. Oz: GMOs Can Be Ushering in a Pesticide Arms RaceHeather Callaghan Today, he makes a very clear stance, as a concerned doctor, against the EPAs pending approval of a new, toxic pesticide intended for use on genetically engineered crops like corn and soy this countrys biggest crops and food ingredients. He warns about floundering brain health, thyroid problems, chronic disease and more as a result of this stronger pesticides use. Todays episode of TheDr. OzShow examines a new GMO pesticide that the EPA is on the very brink of approving because GMO crops now contain superweeds thathave become resistant to glyphosate (Roundup). This new concoction called Enlist Duo, by Dow AgroSciences, contains both glyphosate and the choline salt of 2,4-D (2,4-D was one of the ingredients in Agent Orange). His stark warning, that I include in the title of this article, is actually found in the longer version of the video,HERE. In that clip he says, GMOs can be ushering in a pesticide arms race, and the health of your brain could be the casualty. In another clip, America, we are runningout of time. Here is a YouTube preview of the episode: Note: The EPA has stated that Enlist Duo will not be sprayed from planes. It claims that this pesticide is not the same as Agent Orange because A.O. contained 2,4,5-T (with dioxin), kerosene and diesel fuel along with the 2,4-D. (source) The EPA had a comment period open in spring-summer of this year, and is expected to announce a decision soon, but it is expected to hit the market. The EPA responded to Dr. Ozs questions in a statement here. From their statement, its easy to ascertain their pre-approval. They ignored the doctors and scientists who had commented with evidence of the pesticides role in leading to Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, Parkinsons and Alzheimers and instead mention the use of sound science. Likewise, Dows response to Dr. Oz falls back on the sound science of the EPA, FDA and USDA. Also on Dr. Ozs site is a petition to the White House to stop the approval perhaps as one last effort given the EPAs clear stance. Dr. Oz also features some GMO facts for newcomers. The worlds biggest seed, biotech and chemical companies have a long history of working together. When one product becomes null, an alternating company has a new one at the ready. Instead of being looked at as collusion, the regulatory agencies view it as the only solution to an agricultural state of emergency. Their past studies show even psychological effects from the use of pesticides but this has never caused any thoughtful pause in approval. The sound science the EPA refers to in their statement above is actually just the idea of past use and common use, therefore, its okay to them.

2	Texas Family Sparks National Outrage After Hanging THIS Flag Outside Their House According to recent reports, Muslim family in Lewisville Texas is facing backlash after flying an Islamic flag outside of their home. The flag features white writing on a black background, which has often been associated with the terrorist group ISIS. Not surprisingly, the flag caused immediate concern, though the family notes that there are vast differences between the flag they are flying and that of the extremist group. The flag has still outraged the Texas community. In fact, Lewisville residents have taken to social media to blast the family, even threatening to burn down their house. What do you think? What would you do if the flag was flying in your neighbors yard? 
1	Calling it an exciting new menu item dragged from the darkest reaches of the salty abyss, executives at seafood restaurant chain Long John Silvers introduced their latest fast-food offering Thursday, the Golden Fried Abomination From The Deep. The deep-fried ocean beast, which was reportedly subdued by the restaurants fishermen following an arduous three-day-long battle in the North Sea that claimed the lives of 80 good men, will be available at participating franchise locations for a limited time only. We are pleased to offer our guests a taste of the unimaginable horrors that lurk in the briny deep, said company spokesperson Eric Hutcherson, adding that the nightmarish, slithering masswhose powerful, iron-like tentacles could snap ships masts as though they were so much kindlingis dredged in Long John Silvers signature batter and cooked until golden brown. Pulled straight from Davy Jones Locker, which it made the watery grave of many a brave and noble sailor, this ungodly leviathan comes with fries, creamy coleslaw, and a 20-ounce fountain beverage of your choice for just $4.99. And if you want to give Mom the night off, you can order the 16-piece Golden Fried Abomination From The Deep Family Platter, Hutcherson continued. Each bite of the Golden Fried Abomination From The Deep contains within it the futile screams of the great beasts countless victims, their last vision on this earth its monstrous, unblinking, blood-red eyes. And every last forkful has a light, crispy crunch, with just a hint of garlic. The undersea terror from the blackest depths, which was said to be first referenced in Scandinavian folklore dating back to the eighth century, was reportedly hunted by Long John Silvers, Inc. for nearly 20 years before it was finally added to the menu this month. Sources said the fast-food chains fleet relentlessly pursued the scaly monstrosity from the Sea of Japan to the Strait of Magellan in its efforts to bring the creature to lunch and dinner customers nationwide. According to promotional materials, the abhorrent sea monster only grew larger and stronger as it dragged innumerable shipsfrom Roman slave galleys to Nantucket whalersto the ocean floor during its centuries-long reign of terror. Company spokespeople added that the grotesque deep-sea beings steady diet of helpless seafarers is what, in part, gives Long John Silvers latest dish its unique flavor and texture. Each bite of the Golden Fried Abomination From The Deep contains within it the futile screams of the great beasts countless victims, their last vision on this earth its monstrous, unblinking, blood-red eyes, Hutcherson said. And every last forkful has a light, crispy crunch, with just a hint of garlic. Those involved in the final, deadly hunt say the accursed creature used its 300-pound claws to snap the flagships bowsprit from its prow before dragging the 140-foot vessel for several hundred leagues until it was finally corralled in the shallow waters off the Faroe Islands, its death throes creating a massive tidal wave that destroyed several nearby fishing villages. Long John Silvers CEO James OReilly, who reportedly leapt on the abominations back and delivered the death blow with a black-forged harpoon of the strongest Norwegian steel, said he himself enjoys the new menu item with a squeeze of lemon. We lost our VP of marketing and four board members in the shoals off Scalloway, honest and true, OReilly said, a single tear streaming from his remaining eye. Youd do well to honor their sacrifice by trying the Golden Fried Abomination From The Deep with our new zesty chipotle tartar sauce. Reports indicate that the dying behemoth, which can also be prepared grilled for customers seeking a healthier alternative, issued forth an unearthly shriek that deafened all within a hundred miles for several hours. I thought it was pretty good, said Long John Silvers customer Donald Bell, of Knightdale, NC, who ordered a Golden Fried Abomination From The Deep Value Meal. Its a little chewy, but I didnt really mind. The inky-black, poison-rimmed suckers had a nice little zip to em, Bell added. Long John Silvers said it aims to expand the Abomination menu to include the 50,000 embryos found in the creatures egg sac, which it plans to fry and flavor with its popcorn shrimp seasoning. 
2	Fast Food Chain Letting Muslims Rewrite Their Menu Subway, the popular sandwich franchise, is limiting the amount of pork they serve, following a strong demand from [their] Muslim customers. The Muslims have argues that the meet is not halal or permitted in their religion. Already, 185 subway stores in the UK and Ireland have reduced the amount of pork they are serving. The idea of halal in the Koran is similar to the kosher diet for Judaism. Although, we havent seen anyone demanding that Subway make their menus kosher. What do you think? Should Subway have to change their menu to meet religious needs? 
1	Leading basketball experts predicted yesterday that many, if not all, of the teams in the National Basketball Association are planning to begin regular-season play by the end of the month. 'I know nobody wants to hear this with football season beginning to pick up steam and the baseball playoffs going on, but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't inform all of you that by the beginning of November, every professional basketball team, I repeat, every NBA team, will have played one regular season game,' said ESPN's Dr. Jack Ramsay during an NBA season-preview segment on SportsCenter. 'And my sources tell me that after that, the teams fully intend to play 81 more.' According to Ramsay, even the Portland Trail Blazers, the NBA's worst team last season, are planning on playing a full NBA schedule come November.

2	Allen West Calls For Civil Disobedience Against Obama The New Year is expected to bring with it a new executive order from President Barack Obama, who is determined to push his gun control agenda before leaving office. Officials suspect that Obama will attempt to expand background checks on firearm purchases by reclassifying more individuals as gun dealers, thereby requiring them to be licensed and regulated by the feds. That is just one of several likely ineffective measures that the President wants to take. Many states have already taken a stand in support of their Second Amendment rights. Texas just ruled to allow permitted individuals to openly carry their side arms, for instance. The majority of states have the rights and safety of their citizens top of mind. Florida Rep. Allen West took to his website on Monday to comment on the interesting juxtaposition between Obamas agenda and the growing respect for gun rights among citizens and states. West also commented that none of Obamas proposals would have done anything to stop the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, though the president has consistently used this as a catalyst for his actions. According to West, Obama is doing everything he can to ignore real issues such as a lack of quality education, breakdown of the family, and better economic opportunities in inner cities. In order to address issues more effectively, West has made a proposal of his own. West argued that the Secret Service should be defunded and disarmed, and that if American citizens arent able to protect themselves with guns, neither should he. Secondly, West called for civil disobedience in regards to Obamas gun control actions. West argued that gun orders should ignore any and all executive actions put forth by Obama if they infringe on Second Amendment rights. What do you think? Do you agree with West? 
1	Unveiling what may be the most comprehensive guide to socially responsible self-pleasure ever published, a group of leading ethicists released Monday its list of things that are acceptable to masturbate to. The 2011 edition of the Standards and Values in Autoerotic Practices is the first revision in 17 years of the venerable reference used to determine what images and thoughts are appropriate stimuli for bringing oneself to orgasm. 'This list recognizes our changing cultural attitudes and offers an ethical framework to address all aspects of the current masturbatory climate,' said Harvard University philosophy professor Greg Hawkins, the publication's lead editor. 'Now, when pleasuring themselves, Americans can determine whether to proceed with a clear conscience, or recoil in self-disgust.' Many changes reflect new realities posed by the Internet, which was barely mentioned in the last edition of the SVAP. For example, the revised guide declares it 'permissible' to reach climax while perusing photos from the Facebook profile of a coworker or a spouse's friend; however, masturbating to online hidden-camera videos of a woman using a tanning bed is deemed 'troubling, and unfit for self-gratification.' Other revisions simply take into account the passage of time, with guidelines now declaring it acceptable to 'freely touch oneself' when thinking about or viewing images of Natalie Portman, a practice that had been explicitly prohibited under rules written in 1994, when the actress was 12 years old. 'And that goes for men and women both, because one of our top priorities this time was to eliminate all bias against homosexual impulses,' Hawkins said of the 2011 edition, which for the first time ranks masturbating to a member of the same sex as 'entirely ethical.' 'Arousing himself with thoughts of a naked Jon Hamm brushing past him in a locker room is every man's moral right.' The revised list of onanism-appropriate subjects also includes friends' mothers, President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, pre- and post-op transsexuals, the late actor Heath Ledger (with the firm caveat that he only be masturbated to as a living person), and Ohio resident Adam Clemons, who was in terrible shape back in the '90s, but has, according to ethicists, 'really pulled himself together nicely.' The new SVAP also resolves a pair of longstanding debates by determining that it is weird, but not unethical, to masturbate to one's own reflection in a full-length mirror, and that it is also fine to masturbate to the mentally challengeda reversal of previous guidelines and an affirmation that all persons may provide erotic inspiration, regardless of cognitive capacity. For the 23rd consecutive edition, masturbating to a litter of newborn puppies is classified as 'wrong, wrong, wrong.' Since its first publication in 1795, which counseled 'gentlemen of quality to grasp themselves only when moved by the most refined and upright appreciation of a woman's figure,' Standards and Values in Autoerotic Practices has often been accused of being incomplete. Even after the sexual revolution of the '60s and '70s, during which the book quadrupled in length, many still argue it is still inadequate. 'This new list may be an improvement, but it is still mystifyingly silent on such mainstays as nannies, shoes, and the scent of a cousin's panties,' Amherst College ethicist Joshua McBride said. 'Another edition and another slap in the face to people who enjoy grinding against stuffed animals.' However, those whose preferred masturbatory stimulus appeared on the list said they were grateful to have the validation they had long sought. 'You think you're always going to feel like a deviant for rubbing one out while you fantasize about being forced to drink your own breast milk by your brother-in-law,' Phoenix resident Denise Berger said. 'But then, all of a sudden, you're a decent person. See, it's right there on page 296.' The SVAP's editors acknowledged that their endeavor will likely always remain unfinished, since people have a near infinite capacity for finding new ways to excite themselves while manipulating their genitalia for self-pleasure. 'No doubt, another edition will always be required,' Professor Hawkins said. 'The human imagination won't let us rest very long.' 'But, honestly, I'm just happy I finally got 'amputee' in there,' Hawkins added. 'You have no idea.' 
2	What George W. Bush Did After Nancy Reagan Died Stunned The World Say what you want about George W. Bush, but one thing is for certainhe knows how to honor those who have made a profound impact on this country. Weve seen this time and time again with his unrelenting support of our men and women in uniform, and were seeing again following the death of Mrs. Nancy Reagan. Just moments after her passing was announced, Bush released the following statement. Laura and I are saddened by the loss of former First Lady Nancy Reagan, he began. Mrs. Reagan was fiercely loyal to her beloved husband, and that devotion was matched only by her devotion to our country. Her influence on the White House was complete and lasting. During her time as First Lady and since, she raised awareness about drug abuse and breast cancer. When we moved into the White House, we benefited from her work to make those historic rooms beautiful, he continued. Laura and I are grateful for the life of Nancy Reagan, and we send our condolences to the entire Reagan family. We applaud G.W. Bush for taking the time to craft such a heartfelt dedication to Nancy Reagan. If only Obama would display this kind of respect. 
2	BREAKING: Look What Obama Just Did While Everyone Was Focused On Russia From the beginning of his presidency, Barack Obama has been fighting rumors that he is planning to enact martial law. Now, just weeks before he leaves office, Obama has reportedly signed the National Defense Resources Preparedness Act, which can only be enacted during peacetime. Once the order is officially implemented, the entire economy will be under Obamas direction, and he will have the authority to issue regulations establishing nationwide procedures and standards of production. Truth Monitor also reports that he will control general distribution of any material (including applicable services) to the civilian market. The comes shortly after Obama reportedly told NPR that his strong preference has been to work with Congress and that he recommends Trump avoids using executive orders to get his way. This is the same man who just two years ago claimed he didnt need permission because, Ive got a pen and Ive got a phone. Now, Obama has the nerve to claim he bent over backwards to try and compromise with Congress. In my first two years, I wasnt relying on executive powers because I had big majorities in the Congress and we were able to get bills done, get bills passed, he commented. And even after we lost the majorities in Congress, I bent over backwards consistently to try to find compromise and aa legislative solution to some of the big problems that weve got. After that astonishing comment from a man who has enacted 260 executive orders, Obama offered some unsolicited advice to Trump. My suggestion to the president-elect is, you know, going through the legislative process is always better, in part because its harder to undo, he insisted. Were sure Obamas just trying to stop Trump from fulfilling his promises to clean up his mess by overturning many of his unilateral decisions. What do you think? Will Trump be a better president than Obama will ever be? 
1	Citing 'the need to shield decent Americans from depraved filth such as this,' U.S. Sen. Bob Smith (R-NH) brought the website 'Cum-Craving Sluttz' to national attention Monday. 'This cyber-sewage features naked, hot-oiled young women engaging in such acts as fellatio, cunnilingus, rimming, fisting, and frottage,' Smith said of the previously obscure site. 'I pray for the day when wholesome, impressionable youths do not know that such vile smut exists, let alone are able to access it at http://www.vicecapades.com on their families' home computers during an unsupervised moment.' 
1	Forced to pick up a pair of shoes from a Famous Footwear at Sharpstown Mall in Houston Monday, stay-at-home mother Linda Hendrikson, 31, was reportedly shocked by the mall's condition. 'It was just so sad,' Hendrikson said. 'The floors were dirty, the shoes were in disarray, and there didn't seem to be any management. I just can't imagine what it would be like to shop under those conditions every day.' Hendrikson said she has more sympathy for the plight of the city's poor after witnessing their mall firsthand. 
2	Executive Order Allows Illegal Immigrants To Acquire Social Security According to recent reports, President Obama is considering moving forward with executive actions that will make illegal immigrants eligible to receive social security payments. They may also be given a credit for the time theyve been working undocumented in the United States. Under the November 20, 2014, policy memorandum, foreign nationals who received deferred action status may be eligible for work authorization, the Congressional Research Service memo states. As a result, a foreign national who received deferred action status may be able to have all of his or her Social Security-covered earnings count toward qualifying for a Social Security benefit (all earnings from authorized and unauthorized work). That means that any illegal immigrants who have paid into the Social Security system will now be eligible for paymentseven if they used a fraudulent Social Security number. The benefits they will receive include retirement, disability and survivor payments. It is unclear how easy it will be for a foreign national to prove that earnings credited to a Social Security number that was not issued to the foreign nation (i.e., credits earned while the person was working without authorization) belong on his or her earning records, the memo continues, acknowledging that proof of using a specific Social Security number will be difficult. These benefits programs are in dire trouble, one GOP aide told reporters. They need to be preserved for legal immigrants and American citizens first and foremost. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama putting the interests of illegal immigrants and refugees above legal citizens? 
3	Senate Panel Approves Even More Stringent Biometric MeasuresPermission = Freedom? The secret in propaganda is that when you demonize, you dehumanize, says James Forsher, a film historian. When you dehumanize, it allows you to kill your enemy and no longer feel guilty about it. Apparently illegal immigrants have been sufficiently dehumanized to force them into biometric tracking. Theres no way the government would use biometrics to track the superior law-abiding natives, right? More on this later. Illegal immigration is a hot-button issue that genuinely affects many communities and the motivation to do something about it is understandable. However, anti-immigration supporters may be playing right into Big Brothers hands by being tricked into supporting the hi-tech enslavement of themselves. Some have referred to the sweeping immigration reform bill in Congress as a Trojan Horse for Biometrics. These systems are a clear indication that illegal immigration is being used to put the final touches on the full-spectrum surveillance grid in America. And, shockingly, politicians are making the immigration reform bill more stringent instead of less, apparently fueled by anti-immigration zealots. According to NBC News, the senate hopes to finalize a bill for a vote by the end of the week. The Senate Judiciary Committee has been debating manybiometric identification mandatesand have now approved a more stringent biometric test system for U.S. airports. Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee approved an amendment sponsored by Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, a Republican considered to be a swing vote on the 18 member committee. That amendment, a less stringent version of a biometric proposal that failed last week, would require the Department of Homeland Security to establish a fingerprinting system at the 10 U.S. airports with the highest international traffic within two years. After six years, that system would have to be in place at the nations 30 biggest airports. One of the key authors of the legislation, Marco Rubio (R-FL), saidThe amendment adopted today is a good start and I will continue to fight to make the tracking of entries and exits include biometrics. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) called it a start as well. This legislation is becoming more stringent, not less, in its implementation of biometric systems and its just a good start for these lawmakers who ultimately want a more complete biometric system. NBC reports; Proponents of the Hatch measure said it would provide an importantstep towards implementing a more complete biometric system, which senators on both sides of the aisle agreed would provide the most failsafe method for tracking visa overstays as well as individuals who pose national security threats. This particular amendment is only to track the movements of foreigners in and out of America. However, weve learned from Wired that a biometric database for all Americans is already hidden in the legislation. David Kravets of Wiredreported: The immigration reform measure the Senate began debating yesterday would create a national biometric database of virtually every adult in the U.S., in what privacy groups fear could be the first step to a ubiquitous national identification system. Buried in the more than 800 pages of the bipartisan legislation (.pdf) is language mandating the creation of the innocuously-named photo tool, a massive federal database administered by the Department of Homeland Security and containing names, ages, Social Security numbers and photographs of everyone in the country with a drivers license or other state-issued photo ID. The most worrying aspect is that this creates a principle of permission basically to do certain activities and it can be used to restrict activities, said ACLUsChris Calabrese.Its like a national ID system without the card. And this is just the start of it. How soon will Americans submit to full biometric IDs especially if it gets them out of the naked body scanners and invasive patdowns at airports? Or if they need it to legally work in their state? Oh, sure, you can opt out, but not if you want to work or travel in society. Permission now equals Freedom in America.

3	On the Ground in Cyprus, Day 1: Fear and Loathing in NicosiaIn approximately three weeks time, the island of Cyprus will begin receiving its annual cash injection from holiday tourism. Thats whats known as a good injection. After only a day here, it has become very clear that the people of Cyprus are concerned, some even scared about a financial contagion and shock treatment which threatens their future prosperity. Soon, they will get another bad injection, which we are told will be deadly. So we are treating this like a crime scene. The next injection will be administered by Dr Troika. Just utter his name in public here and you will see wrinkles in peoples faces. Dr Troikas injection is the equivalent, in economic terms, to an experimental vaccine designed to treat a financial contagion which originated in Greece, and Wall Street before that. It is certain to provoke an auto-immune reaction. The people of Cyprus did not ask for this, yet, they are being forced to take it by the mad economic doctors in Brussels, Berlin and the IMF. Its the sort of bad medicine that the banking syndicates and corrupt officials have been administering for a while now, in order to take down governments and economies all over the globe with devastating effect. The majority of those queuing were older people, but these included many of the top depositors whose life saving have been clipped by the Troika. We asked around and quickly learned why the Cypriots did not all rush the bank on Thursday at high noon. Many residents told us that there was a community feeling that islanders did not want to stress the Bank of Cyprus by storming its branches. Strict capital controls have been put into place to slow the cash hemorrhaging this week, with most residents restricted to 300 euros per day, for four days, followed by an official assessment of the situation. Theres a lot of talk of Cypruss potential riches from untapped gas and oil, and many residents believe the bankers have taken down the economy here in order to exchange the islands future riches for a series of expensive (if not utterly debilitating) ECB and IMF loans. But thats still a ways off, and more pressing matters are salary cuts, pension cuts, a flight of wealth off of the island, and of course that fact that peoples money is being literally stolen from their accounts. When elites go to war, and fight their financial battles, it seems that the only victims are the average mom and pop. After meeting five or six local residents and business owners, it became abundantly clear that even the street sweepers knew that a criminal banking syndicate had held a gun to their heads and then stolen their money in broad daylight. He adds, Our friends in Europe have treated us like gangsters and criminals. Our government leaders have made mistakes, yes. But why are we being forced to pay? Its blackmail. This is stealing from the people, thats all. Not surprisingly, there were no Russian Oligarchs waiting to get inside any of the islands branches on Thursday, many of them apparently withdrew their money from still-open Russian branches of Laiki and Cyprus banks at the same time that the banks in Cyprus were shut. Mr Kiriakos, a local bar owner lamented over a beer with us before closing shop, explaining the reality of this latest banker-led heist in Cyprus. 
3	Media Refusing to Cover Numerous Witness Accounts of Multiple Shooters in Orlando MassacreBy Claire Bernish While no doubts can be raised Omar Mateen, indeed, played a role in the attack, eyewitness accounts while varied and certainly subjective, considering the chaos unfolding at the time dont unanimously agree he acted alone. I mean, Im pretty sure it was more than one person, witness Janiel Gonzalez told a bevy of reporters. Like I said, I heard two guns going off at the same time, he continued, gesturing back and forth with his fingers indicating the gunfire emanated from separate directions. Further, he explained, panicked clubgoers had difficulty locating exits during the shooting, which he estimated lasting eight minutes plenty of time for the shooter(s) to reload multiple times. When Gonzalez and others finally found a door hidden behind a curtain, There was probably like 50 people trying to jump over each other just trying to exit the place, and there was a guy holding the door. The guy was holding the door and not letting us exit. When they asked why he was blocking their only way out as the shooting seemed to be drawing near Gonzalez said the man told them, No, you guys have to stay inside. Stay inside. Desperate, the group demanded he move to give them safe passage but the mans steadfast refusal to do so provoked a serious question. As Gonzalez explained, the fact there was a semi-automatic rifle, and not a handgun, employed in the shooting, he realized this must be a hate crime and then he put two and two together, and I was like, this guys trying to prevent us from leaving the club. Maybe theyre working together. Fox News Megyn Kelly actually interviewed the man, Luis Burbano, who admitted to blocking the exit, asking, You were holding the doors so that the shooter could not get out, but was there any concern that, you know, you might be keeping the people fleeing the shooter from getting out? Yeah, um yeah. That was on my mind. There was banging, there was pushing on the door. That was on my mind; but at that point in time, I just tried doing what I thought would be best at that moment, because, as he explained, the door opened into an alleyway which was extremely narrow and would have created a juggernaut. Burbano also worried he might be opening the door to the shooter, so felt by holding it shut, he would prevent the attackers escape. So, while Burbanos actions were perhaps motivated by doing the right thing, he directly endangered the lives of others trapped inside. Was he working in concert with the attacker or attackers? Probably not. Should he face consequences for blocking one of the only safe means for people to escape an active shooter? Without a doubt. As for the description possibly more than one shooter had been involved, Gonzalez actually wasnt alone. A second witness described in an interview aired on the Today Show, It had to have been more than one person, too, because [the gunfire] was just too continuous Its like youre at a gun range and all you hear is just, BOOM, bang, bang I cant even describe it. TODAY (@TODAYshow) June 12, 2016 In footage captured by multiple witnesses outside the club, police appear to be engaging in an exchange of gunfire with an unknown subject. Mateen, however, was killed inside the club, according to most accounts. Theyre shooting back and forth, the person taping video can be heard saying over a volley of gunfire in the background. Oh. My. God. Theyre all shooting back and forth. Could this also lend credence to accounts of multiple attackers? Yet another eyewitness to the massacre has come forward to describe the events for ABC News 20/20 and his detailed account could be critical. After Mateen collected the hostages phones, according to the witness, he called either law enforcement or a news station and said, America needs to stop bombing ISIS in Syria. Then he called somebody else that he knew, the man recalled, and he mentioned that he was the fourth shooter, and there was [sic] three others, and mentioned, I believe a female name, that was playing dead and she has a bombing vest and he has one, too. And then he said there was three snipers out there waiting for cops to come so the snipers would shoot at the cops. And even another witness to the events has described the situation as one of multiple shooters. Noting the sheer number of gun shots ringing out, the witness was asked by Infowars, So, you believe there was more than one gunman there? I believe that, the young man replied, because thats kind of impossible, to me, for one person with two handguns firing off. He also described seeing Mateens picture on social media, and said the suspect central to the investigation did not appear to have the physical build to employ the two weapons necessary to account for the barrage of gunfire he heard. He couldnt manage to fire off two guns, he surmised. Decide for yourself, as always, what such accounts which contradict the now-uniform mainstream narrative might mean. But remember, as well, questioning what youre being spoon fed by the government and corporate media is in no way disrespectful of the victims. Rather, it is out of respect for the dead and injured that appropriate parties be held accountable and factual accuracy is imperative in order that justice be served appropriately. Claire Bernish writes for TheFreeThoughtProject.com, where this article first appeared. Do not waste your time with this crisis actors BS No mention of crisis actors, Joe. Did we read the same article? +JBstill asleep are you? Time to wake up. This guy seems like a actor also . The laughing in the beginning ? Its like they rehearsed what they were going to discuss .

I think you need to push the translate button LOLI know what you saidso why not share it with English speaking visitors here rather than being elitist subjectively clever? Enough of this already. Time to move on to the next false flag. no doubts can be raised Omar Mateen, indeed, played a role in the attack, LOL. What attack? The CIA is forbidding us from raising doubts now? I thought raising doubts was largely their mission. Presidential nominations wrapped up: Please resume your normal schedule of FBI facilitated terror. Move along folksnothing here to see so dont dilly-dallyjust move along whatever you do dont confuse the facts with our predictably predictable False Flag / Psy-Ops that we run just like Reality TVbecause nobody can tell the difference anymore as William Casey (former CIA Director/ Reagan) said in a quote: Here is something I found yesterday. Folks should wake up to the facts about Islam and the history of it all. And then theres Christianity Oh please, peddle your BS brainwashing tripe somewhere else. No brainwashing, and no tripe. You posted religious text with no context to support the conclusion that a religion is inherently violent. Why is it less valid if I or anyone else does the same using a different religion? For the record, I dont think that either Islam or Christianity are inherently violent or inherently good. Its entirely up to the person practicing the religion. You can cherry pick the scriptures of either one to justify just about any behaviour you want. People have been doing it for millennia. Oh boy how many more tanks can we make today, and look at all those man pads we will be able to drop off to ISIS oh I mean Al Nursa or is it one of the other ten mercenaries that we pay to over throw a democratically elected government like Ukraine, only this time its Syria.But remember it is evil Iran that has started it all that is why NATO is surrounding Russia to protect it from those make believe nuclear missiles from taking out Putin. snopes. Good rebuttal; a picture of a cat and the word no. If my information is unreliable help me understand why. Otherwise, youre just here to have like minded people agree with you, and not to actually learn or teach anything to people who are seeking truth. Just look up who runs snopes smarty pants and then ask yourself is this a good thing. Get back to me when you do. I got more cool memes that you will love too. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/685acb5418dd65b782aa546324c8fb710a0e5da56600775ee5dfa5845c297316.jpg I took your advice and did look up who runs snopes. I really am trying to be fair here, so I dont know why you keep insulting me. Thats not how you win people over to your point of view. Then people with alternative views wonder why people dismiss them. Could have something to do with the condescension and hostility if anyone questions you. Anyway, this is what I found: FactCheck reviewed a sample of Snopes responses to political rumors regarding George W. Bush, Sarah Palin, and Barack Obama, and found them to be free from bias in all cases. FactCheck noted that Barbara Mikkelson was a Canadian citizen (and thus unable to vote in US elections) and David Mikkelson was an independent who was once registered as a Republican. Youd be hard-pressed to find two more apolitical people, David Mikkelson told them. That quote is admittedly from wikipedia, but I did check the primary sources as well and they check out. And come on, you have to admit that my employees sister coming from a random person on the internet is like saying my cousins friends roommate. The entire idea of going to a website run by some fact checker goes against common sense. So I laugh whenever anyone says snopes as a reference. Snopes is simply making claims and assumptions upon their own view. In no way do they actually have anyway of proving their point about the post and wether or not it is valid. They dont even attempt to look at it from a tactical point of view, which is where the original question came from. How does 1 guy kill 50 in a club with his Sig Hauer with little or no proper training? This is the real question, so when the FB post hit the web, it easily tied into the original question. The amount of ammo this guy would need, without proper training must of weighted 25# roughly. Plus the gun itself is a fair sized rifle. How did all of this get in on him? Too many questions, no inside the club footage and too many dead. Who checks the checker at Snopes?? I really cant speak to the logistics and tactics of the situation. Not my area of expertise. I was just pointing out that the credibility of that Facebook post is very questionable. I do have some questions about the multi shooter theory though, and these are serious questions, not me trying to argue a point: 1. What is the benefit of everyone covering it up? It seems to me like proving that there were more shooters would be a huge scoop for a media outlet. You dont really need a lot of training to pull the trigger. If you know how to reload and fire, youre half way there. Since the guy isnt firing at long range, all he has to do is point in the general direction of people and be bound to hit something. Aside, from the point of multiple shooters, yes, that in itself increases the chances of building a body count. Your point about the rifle. Yes, how does one bring a rifle into a club? Was it trench coat season? Snopes. Palm to forehead. They are clearly biased. THIS! Im not making religion the issue here. Im doing the exact opposite. I dont blame religion, any religion, for a single death in this world. Without religion people would just come up with some other justification for questionable actions. Its human nature thats the problem, not religion. You, however, are the one who blamed Islam. Muslims and Christians are all just people. Some are good, and some are awful. Islam is a cult and more of a political movement than anything else. Thank you for replying without insults or condescension. I wasnt going to respond anymore if you had continued in that fashion. Still, Im opposed to the mentality that Islam is inherently violent. Theres over 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, nearly a quarter of the global population (pretty big cult as you say). The vast majority of modern Muslims are as opposed to the violent and militant aspects of the Quran as modern Christians are opposed to the barbaric teachings of the Old Testament. If most Muslims were actually violent extremists we would be pretty screwed because, again, over 1.5 billion of them Here is quote from Erdogan Oops not the right ones and disqus is being dumb.

Still looking for bleeding bodies and ambulances. Yeah! Wheres the high definition video and snapshots when you need them? Funny how everything goes grainy the moment the government has an op. Hello, Sorry for such a great loss, but I want to clear something up. Megan interviewed the guy that held the door from outside, and confused that with witness statements about a guy INSIDE blocking a door. That makes 2 doors blocked and by that coincidence, I would look farther into that guy that held the door outside and safe from the shooter. Thank you to my friends that contacted me to let me know that you are ok. How did a single person, Luis Burbano, manage to block the door from dozens of people desperate to survive by exiting the building. I dont think that a crowd of people in high-stress flight mode would just take his word for it, but would do whatever it takes to get to safety. Snopes is a liberal left/ democrat tool. Cant depend on them for objective truth. Is it just me, or there are too many similarities between the alleged shooters at both the Orlando Shooting and JFK assassination? 1. Both alleged shooters manifested themselves to the authority before the incident, and very conveniently at the same time to give the world a target (i.e. Islam in this case, Russian Marxists in another) to blame towards to, where both had a US local political motive to have an effect on the US election. 2. Both were known and checked by the authority (i.e. FBI CIA) before the incident. Both were US born citizens. 3. Both incidents reportedly more than one shooter. Yet mainstream media continually reported it as a lone-wolf action despite many witnesses accounts. 4. They both died after the incidents, one died while in police custody, one died when confronting with the police. Therefore no testimonials as to what triggered their sudden burst into actions. Since dead men dont talk, well never know if anyone else perpetuated or pulling string behind the attacks. 5. Both incidents happen during the peak hours of US election. But youre wrong too though Christianity as a religious practice is much worse for humankind than Islam has EVER BEEN I can educate you as to how if youre ready to learn Yes, the entire western culture has been fatally poisoned with Fake History. Islam, (while it is a rather nasty group pf cultists and its political agenda is quite disturbing) is not the No.1 enemy. They are useful idiots (pawns) being used a manipulation technique. I personally really want nothing to do with Islam after being forced to study the haddiths and the koran, it is a barbaric form society which should not exist in a civil world. Let me know when the world gets civil though, /smirk. And 911. 
1	Nearly two weeks after the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, the makers of Dinty Moore beef stew finally weighed in on the tragedy Monday with a full-page ad in USA Today. 'We at Dinty Moore extend our deepest sympathies to all who have been affected by the terrible events of Sept. 11, 2001,' read the ad, which pictured a can of Dinty Moore beef stew at the bottom of the page. 'The entire Dinty Moore family is outraged by this heinous crime and stands firmly behind our leaders.' Dinty Moore joins Knoche Heating & Cooling and Tri-State Jacuzzi in condemning terrorism. 
1	As Indiana University students began moving into their assigned residence halls Wednesday, freshman Martin Mattucci told his new roommate Corey Dwire not to worry about hiding his acts of masturbation. 'I just want you to know, right off the bat, that I'm cool with you jerking off when I'm around,' said Mattucci, who added that any other arrangement would be impractical considering the two would be sharing a 10-by-10-foot room for the next nine months. 'If I walk in while you're rubbing one out, just keep right on going. The way I see it, it would be more awkward if you stopped. By the way, my name's Martin.' Mattucci added that he always keeps plenty of paper towels and moisturizer around for just such occasions, so Dwire should feel free to let him know if he's running low or needs extra. 
2	Judge Calls For Eric Holders Impeachment After Discovering This Detail About Him According to recent reports from Fox News, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ordered Eric Holders Justice Department to provide the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee with a list of documents that may shine some light on the Fast and Furious gun-walking operation. According to the reports, the DOJ has until October 1 to produce all requested information. Although Obama has used executive privilege to keep the documents provide, the judge has ordered that congressional investigators be given access. Republican House members hope that the documents will give insight into why the Justice Department took nearly a year to admit that federal agents had engaged in the scandalous operation. What do you think? Is it time for the truth to come out? 
1	The 'Me Decade,' a period beginning in 1970 and marked by self-awareness and self-fulfillment, celebrated its 35th year Monday. 'With careerism, materialism, and general self-involvement as popular as they were was decades ago, the Me Decade may well go on for another 35 years,' said historian and Columbia University professor Dr. Vera Conklin. 'It's been the longest-running decade in American history, beating the selfless 'Greatest Generation' of the '40s by a good 15 years. Selfishness, it seems, is here to stay.' Author Tom Wolfe, who coined the term in his essay 'The Me Decade And The Third Great Awakening,' was unavailable for comment, as he is working on his memoirs. 
3	US Claims Syria Launches Airstrikes In IraqBrandon Turbeville The airstrikes connected with several targets inside Anbar province in Iraq, which is located on the Iraq/Syria border. According to the Washington Post, Iraqi sources initially reported that the attacks were carried out by US drones but the Pentagon has denied any such strikes. Subsequent reports stated that Syria is responsible for the airstrikes. The airstrikes are said to have killed 50 people and injured over 130. Although it is unclear how many ISIS fighters were killed in the strike, the deaths and injuries are being seized upon by Western governments and their media mouthpieces who incessantly claim that the dead (or at least the majority of them) are innocent people. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf stated that it wouldnt be surprising if Assad launched the attacks because he has launched attacks against marketplaces and civilians many times in the past. Of course, Harf made no mention of US carnage wreaked by drones, US military aircraft, and American soldiers in a number of different theatres. Nor did she make any attempt at reporting reality such as the fact that there has been absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Assad has launched attacks against civilian targets. It should be pointed out that, at this point, it is still unclear as to who launched the airstrikes. However, it should be remembered that the United States has been allegedly considering airstrikes in the area since the seizure of large swaths of Iraqi territory by ISIS. After the airstrikes in Anbar, the U.S. is now attempting to claim that bombing was never strategically viable. We are still awaiting official word from the Syrian government regarding their position on the responsibility of the airstrikes.

1	Saying his performance in last nights Iowa caucuses provided just the push he needed, advisors for Jeb Bush expressed their hope Tuesday that the Republican candidate has finally garnered enough momentum to end his presidential campaign. If you look back across several weeks of polling data, you can see that Jeb is definitely starting to build a full head of steam and appears to be in an excellent position to exit the presidential race, said campaign manager Danny Diaz, adding that Bush wasnt just picking up speed in the early primary states but across the country as a whole, and appeared poised to retake the national spotlight by announcing the suspension of his campaign. New Hampshire can be a significant turning point for this campaign if Jeb finishes similarly there. It feels like we could certainly keep following this trajectory and make a big move to call it quits. Let me tell you, theres a certain energy in the Bush camp right now. At press time, Bushs campaign office was buzzing with dozens of staffers canceling accommodations and tour stops all across South Carolina and Nevada.

Now, some serious questions about Clintons mental health have come up, and the American public is desperate for answers. According to Conservative Tribune, new footage has been released of Clinton appearing disoriented and confused during a press conference this week. The video opens with Clinton ending a news conference and immediately becoming confused. Wheres Jennifer? Did Jennifer leave?

In the past year, Donald Trump has carefully earned the support of veterans and law enforcement in this country. Unlike Hillary, who promises to continue Obamas corrupt agenda, Trump actually cares about the safety of those who put their lives on the line each day. He continues to defend our men and women in uniform, even though that may not be the politically correct thing to do in the eyes on the mainstream media. His position is clearly paying off for him.

3	Big Investors Are Dropping Stocks Like Hot PotatoesBy Joshua Krause Earlier today, Jill Carey Hall of Bank of America Merrill Lynch announced that their clients sold $4.1 billion in stocks last week. Coincidentally, this is largest sell-off that theyve seen January of 2008. But, more importantly, the bulk of these sales have been conducted by what shes calling institutional investors. In other words, these are some of the biggest stock players, which often include insurance companies, hedge funds, banks, and pension funds. This sudden sell-off was just that. Sudden. According to Jill Carey After three weeks of net buying, institutional clients net sales last week were the largest in our data history. For whatever reason, most of the sales have come from financial and healthcare stocks. Maybe this is just a hiccup, but it looks like this bubbles day of reckoning has finally arrived. The fact that these are major players doing the selling, tells you everything you need to know. These types of organizations are populated by two kinds of people: those who are savvy investors, and those who are insiders that know things we wont hear about until after the fact. When they start dumping stocks, you know the party is coming to an end. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple, where this article first appeared.

2	Dad Guards Door While Daughter Uses Target Bathroom... Then CHAOS Breaks Out [VIDEO] YouTube commentator and father Dave Coach Dave Daubenmire caused quite the stir on social media this week, when he posted a video of an altercation that took place in Target the other day. Coach Dave walked into Target a few days ago, equipped with the video camera on his cell phone. He asked employees to clarify the companys new policy that allows anyone to use restrooms that match their self-determined gender identity, even if it doesnt correspond to their biological sex. The answers he received were frightening at best. The next day, he returned with his camera and a warning sign, as he guarded the Target womens restroom door while his daughter allegedly used it. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. Is this absolutely outrageous? 
2	93This grandma is yet another example of why we need our Second Amendment. In this instance, it saved her from being beaten to death. I was waiting at the bus stop and suddenly felt this sharp pain to the left side of my body. The blunt force was so strong that it knocked me down. When I looked up I could see a group of thugs laughing at me. Then one of them started kicking me. So before they had a chance to do more harm, I reached in my purse, pulled out my gun and shot the main aggressor. Luckily they all ran after that. I was terrified. I thought they were going to kill me. 51-year-old Knoshon Mootron a homeless man from St. Louis who witnessed the attack told reporters that Bennett acted like a superhero. I saw her get sucker punched from behind, hard. She hit the ground, then they all start kicking her, she grabs this huge gun out of her purse and BOOM! Headshot! Game over son, ya know what Im sayin? Criminals will always be able to get their hands on guns if they want to. Taking away legal guns will only be putting citizens like this grandma in more danger. Do you support the full use of our Second Amendment? 
2	Sally Miller Claims That Clinton Sexually Assaulted Her Hillary Clinton may claim to be an advocate for women, but the many victims who have had encounters with her husband Bill Clinton have a very different story tell. Take Sally Miller, for instance, who claims to have had an affair with Bill in 1983. According to Miller, she was forced to deal with years of threats from Hillary in order to keep her silenceand varying degrees of assault. Miller claims that her life changed forever when Bill ran for president. Without warning, I was bombarded with deception from every angle, she wrote in an open letter to the Examiner. There were those intent on destroying me. Conservative Tribune reports that Miller received a series of disturbing letters during that time period. One particularly disturbing letter warned that Marilyn Monroe got snuffed. Miller was also the victim of having her windows smashed in, and shotgun shells left for her to find. In 1992, Hillary reportedly sent Ron Tucker, one of her operatives to meet with Miller. She was offered a federal job in exchange for silence and was told that if she refused it, shed better watch her pretty little legs the next time she went out jogging. Hillary once said Bill will only lose this race over my dead body! Miller wrote. Her not so subtle reference to death really meant over the bodies of anyone/everyone who gets in my way! It was clear: Hillary was manning the bull-dozer that would clear the way for Bill Clinton to be the next President of the United States, Miller concluded. In my case, Hillarys plan was to beat me down so Id lose everything. What do you think of these new claims? 
3	Signs Of Financial Turmoil In Europe, China And The United StatesBy Michael Snyder Meanwhile, Chinese stocks are absolutely crashing. The Shanghai Composite Index was down more than 13 percent this week alone. That was the largest one week decline since the collapse of Lehman Brothers. In the U.S., stocks arent crashing yet, but we just witnessed one of the largest one week outflows of capital from the bond markets that we have ever witnessed. Slowly but surely, we are starting to see the smart money head for the exits. As one Swedish fund manager put it recently, everyone wants to avoid being caught on the wrong side of markets once the herd realizes stocks are over-valued. I dont think that most people understand how serious things have gotten already. In Greece, so much money has been pulled out of the banks that the European Central Bank admits that Greek banksmay not be able to open on Monday The European Central Bank told a meeting of euro zone finance ministers on Thursday that it was not sure if Greek banks, which have been suffering large daily deposit outflows, would be able to open on Monday, officials with knowledge of the talks said. Greek savers have withdrawn about 2 billion euros from banks over the past three days, with outflows accelerating rapidly since talks between the government and its creditors collapsed at the weekend, banking sources told Reuters. All over social media, people are sharing photos of long lines at Greek ATMs as ordinary citizens rush to get their cash out of the troubled banks. Here isone example Elly Vintiadis (@EllyVintiadis) June 19, 2015 EU president Donald Tusk has delivered an ultimatum to Greece, claiming the country must accept an offer or default at an emergency summit set for Monday in a last-ditch effort to stop the debt-stricken nation crashing out of the euro. We are close to the point where the Greek government will have to choose between accepting what I believe is a good offer of continued support or to head towards default, Mr Tusk said today. His comments come as Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras warned that his countrys exit from the eurozone would trigger the collapse of the single currency. The famous Grexit cannot be an option either for the Greeks or the European Union, he said in an Austrian newspaper interview. This would be an irreversible step, it would be the beginning of the end of the eurozone. While all of this has been going on, the obscene stock market bubble in China has started to implode. Just check out the following numbersfrom Zero Hedge As the carnage began last night in China we noted the extreme levels of volatility the major indices had experienced in recent weeks. By the close, things were ugly with the broad Shanghai Composite down a stunning 13.3% on the week the most since Lehman in 2008 (with Shenzhen slightly better at down 12.8% and CHINEXT down a record-breaking 14.99%). Under normal circumstances, numbers like these would be reason for a full-blown financial panic over in Asia. But these are not normal times. Even with these losses, stock prices in China are still massively overinflated. For example,USA Today is reporting that the median stock over in China is trading at 95 times earnings Margin debt in China has soared to a record $363 billion, according to Bloomberg, and the median stock in mainland China is now trading at 95 times earnings, which even tops the price-to-earnings multiple of 68 back at the 2007 peak. That is absolutely ridiculous. When a stock is trading at 25 or 30 times earnings it is overpriced. So these numbers that are coming out of China are beyond crazy, and what this means is that Chinese stocks have much, much farther to fall before they get back to any semblance of reality. Meanwhile, in the U.S. money is flowing out of bonds at a staggering pace. The following quote originally comes from Bank of America High grade credit funds suffered their biggest outflow this year, and double the previous week (and also the biggest since June 2013). High yield outflows also jumped to $1.1bn, the biggest since the start of the year. However, government bond funds suffered the most amid the recent spike in volatility, with outflows surging to the highest weekly number on record ($2.7bn). This brings the total outflow from fixed income funds to almost $6bn over the last week, the highest since the Taper Tantrum and the third highest outflow ever. What this means is that big trouble is brewing in the bond markets. This is something that I warned about in my previous article entitled Experts Are Warning That The 76 Trillion Dollar Global Bond Bubble Is About To Explode. For the moment, U.S. stocks are doing fine. But just about everyone can see that we in a massive financial bubble that could burst at any time. Presidential candidate Donald Trump says that what we are witnessing is abig fat economic and financial bubble like youve never seen before Yesterday during an interview on MSNBC, presidential candidate Donald Trump said he has some big names in mind for the Treasury secretary if he wins the White House. Id like guys like Jack Welch. I like guys like Henry Kravis. Id love to bring my friend Carl Icahn. He also opined on the economy and the stock market, admitting that the Fed has benefited people like him but that the economy and is in a big fat economic and financial bubble like youve never seen before. Ron Paul also believes that this financial bubble is going to end very badly. Just check out what he told CNBC earlier this week Despite record highs in the market, former Rep. Ron Paul says the Feds easy money policies have left stocks and bonds are on the verge of a massive collapse. I am utterly amazed at how the Federal Reserve can play havoc with the market, Paul said on CNBCs Futures Now referring to Thursdays surge in stocks. The SP 500 closed less than 1 percent off its all-time high. I look at it as being very unstable. In Pauls eyes, the fallacy of economic planning has created such a horrendous bubble in the bond market that its only a matter of time before the bottom falls out. And when it does, it will lead to stock market chaos. Yes, this financial bubble has persisted far longer than many believed possible, but all irrational bubbles eventually burst. And you know what they say the bigger they come the harder they fall. When this gigantic financial bubble finally implodes, it is going to be absolutely horrifying, and the entire planet is going to be shocked by the carnage.

2	When City Council Appointed Two Illegals To Board, These Patriotic Citizens Did This... EPIC [VIDEO] According to some shocking reports, the city council in Huntington Park, CA has just appointed two illegal immigrants to city commissions. The action, taken by Councilman Johnny Pineda, has sparked immediate outrage from patriots living in the city. Many believe that his decision to appoint Frank Medina and Julia Zatarai is based on the fact that they helped with his campaign last March. We need to make sure that we bring everyone together to the table here in Huntington Park so that we can make sure that were sharing the same vision, Pineda told reporters. He also claimed that Medina and Zatari will not be receiving federal pay for their positions. Were sending the wrong message, one resident told reporters. You can be illegal and you can come and work for the city. What do you think? Is this absolutely outrageous? 
1	U.S. Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer told reporters this week that he cannot stop himself from deliberating over whether even the most mundane aspects of his personal life follow the dictates set out by the U.S. Constitution. 'It's completely automatic now; without even thinking about it, I'll be staring at a cup of coffee and start mentally running through Third Circuit appeals that could potentially relate to it,' said Breyer, who estimated he spent at least six hours of his free time Saturday contemplating the constitutionality of issues ranging from throwing garbage in a neighbor's trash can to a birthday card for his nephew, which certain creative property statutes might have applied to. 'I was late to work this morning because I tried to figure out whether borrowing my wife's car would violate the Fourth Amendment's prohibitions on unreasonable seizure in light of the precedent set byhold on, I should be writing this down.' When reached for comment, the Supreme Court's other eight justices were unanimous in their sentiment that Breyer should really stop calling them at home.

1	Admitting that he was unlikely to accomplish anything despite giving his best effort, local claims adjuster David Furman told reporters Thursday that he had effectively chalked up the day as a loss by 10:15 this morning. I took a decent crack at it, but ultimately Im gonna have to write today off, said Furman, who reportedly started losing hope for the day approximately 45 minutes after arriving at work. I did all I could to get some momentum going, but after 15 minutes of answering emails at my desk I just knew this day was beyond salvaging. Oh, well, theres always tomorrow. Ive done all I can. Furman confirmed that he wasnt overly discouraged, however, as he had already chalked up the entire week as a loss by Tuesday afternoon. 
3	TransEvolution: Ridding the planet of pesky humansRady Ananda Its exciting and horrifying, and its implications vast. Transhumanism fills peoples hopes and minds with dreams of becoming superhuman, he writes, but the fact of the matter is that the true goal is the removal of that pesky, human free will itself. For those that remain, that is. TransEvolution reveals the darkest of depopulation strategies. The pinnacle chapter focuses entirely on transhuman developments. Here, he highlights the potentials created by the Information Age, such as: Known as Homo superior, H+ is being developed by the convergence of the NBIC fields that can improve human performance: nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science, from an earlier piece mentioning Ray Kurzweil. Estulin deems him the face of transhumanism. UK health authorities, as well as the US FDA have been discussing decriminalizing human germline modification for a couple years now, despite earlier catastrophes. The transhumanist movement is long underway with at least 30 genetically modified humans born by at least the year 2000, and likely othersnot admittedpopulate their ranks. Globalists plan to seize all of the planets assets, natural and otherwise. One of the ways used to achieve these aims is by collapsing the global economy, which he reminds us will not hurt the 1% (or the 30% supporting them). Theyll simply create a new monetary system that inures to their benefit. The fictional fiat monetary system we live under today is merely a Ponzi scheme for gambling debts now foisted on the worlds populace, as if we owe them for their failures. Its collapse is being engineered, Estulin warns, describing an economic worldview supported by the ideas raised in Naomi Kleins Shock Doctrine, John Perkins Confessions of an Economic Hitman, and the films, The Corporation and The Idiot Cycle. The orchestrated color revolutions, austerity measures, IMF infrastructure loans, and agricultural systems that put independent farmers in debt are all part and parcel of their plans, he warns. Some of the book was dense enough to give the reader pause more than once, but given who listens to him, the material is worth digesting. In a front-page article, Wall Street Italy called Estulin one of the few people who understands the current crisis. He has given two press conferences at the European Parliament on the Bilderberg group and the international monetary crisis. In 2010, he met with Fidel Castro and gave a speech to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Venezuelan armed forces. Global economic destruction supports a number of strategies to ensure the 1% seizes control of all remaining assets, natural and otherwise. Financial collapse cripples nation-states, an idea the merchant globalists deem quaint in light of modern economic realities where corporations write the rules via trade agreements that supersede national laws. Spending some time on trade agreements, Estulin shows how corporations rule today regardless of national borders, and how these trade agreements serve to weaken, sicken and starve humanity. From an earlier piece, the TransPacific Partnership, for instance, forces trade in genetically modified organisms. It fast-tracks patent approval and forbids nations from banning genetically modified organisms solely on the grounds that it already bans them. So, how does the recent rash of suicided banksters impact on the ongoing engineered economic collapse? Estulin had much to say on this in an email to me: This is known in population dynamics as creating a bottleneck where, along with sheer numbers, much of the genetic diversity of a species is forever lost. This does not bother eugenicists. They plan to alter the human genome much further, to enable them to thrive under the toxic sky. Estulin estimates the target population is between one and two billion. If the Georgia Guidestones are any guide, the real target is half a billion remaining humans, howsoever evolved. His book is backed by acquired government plans that dare you to question the roadmap he sees when reading them. For the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers to survive, most of us have to die, he explains in this video interview and throughout the book: A little later in the book: Estulin predicts the planets rulers hope to escape the planet they destroyed, sending the new Homo superior (H+) into space to colonize new worlds. They (The Hierarchy Enslaving You) have decided that the human experiment is over, apparently. As broad as he paints the landscape toxic agriculture and pharmaceuticals, controlled economics, mass media disinformation, NBIC technology and HAARP-like mind controlEstulin missed geoengineering as one of the methods currently employed to control and/or remove the masses. This decades-long multi-pronged program fully supports his theme of depopulation. Weather control via aerial spraying and manipulation of the jet stream allows the controllers to determine who gets drought and who gets rain. As Dane Wigington warns in Engineered Drought Catastrophe, Target California, The climate engineers literally have California by the throat and it does not appear they are going to let go anytime soon. Some Morgellons sufferers and key researchers like Cliff Carnicom link geoengineering with transhumanism. Unique to Morgellons disease (or syndrome) is the presence of chimera fibers that extrude from the body. They contain biological and robotic features, proving theyre engineered; they also self-replicate. These fibers were collected from patients and after they fell from the sky as spidery filaments (not to be confused with Gossamer showers, a natural arachnid phenomenon). From an earlier piece, Morgellons patient Kandy Griffin, president of Morgellons Research Group, put it right out there in 2011: Even world-renowned epidemiologist Dr Rosalie Bertell describes the deleterious effect of geoengineering in her 2001 book, Planet Earth: Latest Weapon of War. In discussing the High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, which went online in 1995, Bertell writes: Depopulation proceeds apace. To save the biosphere from globalist ecocidal greed (though they blame human population numbers), they propose to convince the masses that human-directed human evolution is the only course of action to take. In fact, a new film, Crossroads: Labor pains of a new worldview, soft sells the entire notion of transhumanism and directly states that the goal is to create an entirely new species. Winner of numerous awards, the film has already captured the hearts and minds of the independent film industry and critics alike. The masses will eat it up, right along with their genetically modified, chemically doused, nano-adulterated foods and their daily regimen of pharmaceuticals. In TransEvolution, Estulin makes another significant contribution to the global conspiracy library, clarifying and furthering our assimilation and absorption of dense material. Forewarned is forearmed. Daniel Estulin also has a weekly TV show on RT network in Spanish.

1	Summer is just around the corner, and that means one thing: family vacations. Here are some tips to make your brood's next trip a success: 
1	In a pretend show of support for larger women, the May issue of Vogue features a 16-page spread focusing on plus-size models. 'These plus-size beauties are every bit as gorgeous as the models you usually see in magazines,' said Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who has never before and will never again publish photos of normal-sized women. 'Female beauty comes in many shapes and sizes, and this spread is a celebration of that fact.' Vogue's June issue is slated to celebrate female boniness, featuring hundreds of photos of women weighing no more than 103 pounds. 
3	Vast experiments on humans: a forgotten documentJon Rappoport Here are just a few examples: The entire field of psychiatry, which offers 300 so-called mental disorders for diagnosis and drugging, is a pseudoscience, because none of those mental disorders has a defining physical diagnostic test. No blood test, no urine test, no brain scan, no genetic assay. The entire area of biotech manipulation of food crops, in which genes from one species are inserted into another; the FDA originally approved GMO crops on the basis that it was the biotech industrys responsibility to assure safety and no health risk. Every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people. (See B. Starfield, JAMA, July 26, 2000, Is US health really the best in the world?) Of those 225,000 deaths, 106,000 are caused by FDA-approved drugs. This means that, once the drugs are approved, everything that then happens to the public is one grand uncontrolled experiment. The entire area of vaccines; although numerous experts proclaim serious adverse reactions are rare, the system for counting reactions is broken. Barbara Loe Fisher, of the National Vaccine Information Center, has reasonably pegged the annual number of severe adverse effects at between 100,000 and 1.2 million. As I said, these are just a few examples. There are others. For instance, the entire experiment involving spraying chemical substances near the ground and high above the ground, which includes weather control and manipulation. Here is a largely forgotten 1994 document that adds fuel to this conflagration. United States General Accounting Office GAO/T-NSIAD-94-266 Human Experimentation Statement of Frank C. Conahan, Assistant Comptroller General, I offer selected quotes. This is, I assure you, mind-boggling material. Read it carefully. The testimony speaks for itself. It also provides historical context for what is happening now in America, the land of guinea pigs: We are pleased to be here today to discuss the use of humans in tests and experiments conducted for national security purposes by the Department of Defense (DOD) and other agencies between 1940 and 1974. As you requested, we focused our work on defense-affiliated programs that used human test subjects between 1940 and 1974. The programs included tests and experiments conducted or sponsored by the Departments of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force; the Defense Nuclear Agency; the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA); the Department of Energy; and the Department of Health and Human Services. The tests and experiments involved radiological, chemical, and biological research we have identified hundreds of radiological, chemical, and biological tests and experiments in which hundreds of thousands of people were used as test subjects. These tests and experiments often involved hazardous substances such as radiation, blister and nerve agents, biological agents, and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). In some cases, basic safeguards to protect people were either not in place or not followed. For example, some tests and experiments were conducted in secret; others involved the use of people without their knowledge or consent or their full knowledge of the risks involved. The effects of the tests and experiments are often difficult to determine. Although some participants suffered immediate acute injuries, and some died, in other cases adverse health problems were not discovered until many years lateroften 20 to 30 years or longer. Government testing and experimentation with human subjects continues today because of its importance to national security agencies. For example, the Armys Medical Research Institute for Infectious Disease uses volunteers in its tests of new vaccines for malaria, hepatitis, and other exotic diseases. Since 1974, federal regulations have become more protective of research subjects and, in general, require (1) the formation of institutional review boards and procedures and (2) researchers to obtain informed consent from human subjects and ensure that their participation is voluntary and based on knowledge of the potential risks and benefits. We are in the process of reviewing the effectiveness of these measures. A National Institutes of Health official has stated that no mechanism exists to ensure implementation of the key federal policies in this area. Precise information on the scope and magnitude of government tests and experiments involving human subjects is not available, and exact numbers may never be known. However, our review of available documentation and interviews with agency officials identified hundreds of tests and experiments in which hundreds of thousands of people were used as subjects. Some of these tests and experiments involved the intentional exposure of people to hazardous substances such as radiation, blister and nerve agents, biological agents, LSD, and phencyclidine (PCP). These tests and experiments were conducted to support weapon development programs, identify methods to protect the health of military personnel against a variety of diseases and combat conditions, and analyze U.S. defense vulnerabilities. Healthy adults, children, psychiatric patients, and prison inmates were used in these tests and experiments. Documenting the precise number of tests and participants is difficult because government information is incomplete. Some records have been lost or destroyed, and existing documentation contains limited information and often does not identify names of participants. To date, over 200 radiation tests and experiments have been identified involving over 210,000 test participants. Although not involved in a test or experiment, another 199,000 people were exposed to radiation through work. This latter group is of concern because the effects of the exposure are the same as those incurred by test participants. The radiation tests are generally recognized as involving the largest number of test participants. The largest known test program was the atmospheric nuclear test program conducted from 1945 to 1962. The purpose of this program was to develop weapons and to gain a better understanding of the tactical effect on troops. Over this 17-year period, approximately 210,000 DOD-affiliated personnel, including civilian employees of DOD contractors, scientists, technicians, maneuver and training troops, and support personnel, participated in 235 atmospheric nuclear tests. We reported on two of these tests, known as Operation Crossroads, in 1985. According to DOD officials, as many as 150,000 of the 210,000 participants may have been exposed to fallout. In addition, 195,000 U.S. service members may have been exposed to radiation during the occupation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and over 4,000 other service members may have been exposed during cleanups at Bikini, Enewetak, and Johnston Atolls after nuclear tests were conducted. Some participants have alleged that they were not fully informed or did not understand the potential health risks of exposure to radiation. In a series of experiments conducted between the 1940s and 196Os, the Atomic Energy Commission and the U.S. Public Health Service funded research of the potential medical effects on people from fallout after a nuclear attack or accident. In some of the experiments, university researchers exposed mentally disabled children to low doses of radiation. Years after the experiments were completed, a task force found that researchers failed to satisfactorily inform the subjects families about the nature and risk of the experiments in order for them to make an informed decision when they gave their consent. The president of one of the universities involved in the experiments later apologized for the use of children and the failure to provide full information about the nature and risk. We are not aware of what, if any, further action was taken in this case. During World War II and the Cold War era, the Army and the Navy conducted two major chemical research experiments in which thousands of service members were used as test subjects. An unknown number of other chemical tests and experiments were conducted under contracts with universities, hospitals, and medical research facilities. In some of the tests and experiments, healthy adults, psychiatric patients, and prison inmates were used without their knowledge or consent or their full knowledge of the risks involved. During World War II, the Army conducted tests of protective clothing and equipment in which thousands of people were exposed to mustard gas and lewisite agents. In addition, the Army developed and tested offensive chemical weapons and evaluated the effectiveness and persistency of mustard agents in different environments. In February 1993, we reported that the Armys records of its mustard test activities were not kept in a manner that readily identifies the participants. (see: Veterans Disability: Information From Military May Help VA Assess Claims Related to Secret Tests (GAO/NSIAD-93-89, Feb. 18, 1993)) However, the available records show that 1,002 soldiers were commended for their participation in [chemical] tests in which they subjected themselves to pain, discomfort, and possible permanent injury for the advancement of research in protection of the armed services. Similar to the Armys tests, the Navy conducted tests of clothing and equipment that exposed thousands to the effects of mustard gas and lewisite agents [lewisite is a chemical weapon, blister agent, lung irritant, which causes severe burns and can cause death]. These experiments involved (1) gas chamber tests, in which service members were completely exposed to mustard and lewisite agents while wearing protective clothing, and (2) skin tests, in which amounts of mustard agent and antivesicant ointments were applied to service members forearms. The Navy has a list of the names of approximately 3,200 sailors who participated in mustard and lewisite agent tests performed by the Naval Research Laboratory. Additionally, Navy officials told us that between 15,000 and 60,000 Navy recruits had participated in skin tests conducted by a contractor but that the Navy had no record of the recruits names. From 1952 to 1975, the Army conducted a classified medical research program to develop incapacitating agents. The program involved testing nerve agents, nerve agent antidotes, psychochemicals, and irritants. The chemicals were given to volunteer service members at the Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, and four other locations. Army documents identify a total of 7,120 Army and Air Force personnel who participated in these tests, about half of whom were exposed to chemicals. The Armys Medical Research and Development Command in Fort Detrick, Maryland, has the names and service numbers of all test participants and a list of the chemicals to which the service members were exposed. Some service members have testified before congressional committees that they were not fully informed of the risks involved. During the same period, the Army Chemical Corps contracted with various universities, state hospitals, and medical foundations to research the disruptive influences that psychochemical agents could have on combat troops. The Air Force also conducted experiments on the effects of LSD through contracts at five universities. According to Air Force officials and records, approximately 100 people received LSD in these experiments. No effort has been made by the Air Force to determine if the participants names are available in the universities records. According to a CIA official, from 1553 to about 1964, the CIA conducted a series of experiments called MKULTRA to test vulnerabilities to behavior modification drugs. As a part of these experiments, LSD and other psychochemical drugs were administered to an undetermined number of people without their knowledge or consent. According to the official, the names of those involved in the tests are not available because names were not recorded or the records were subsequently destroyed. However, some tests were done under contract, and no effort has been made by the CIA to determine if names are available in contractors records. The Army conducted a series of biological warfare experiments and tests between 1949 and 1974. The purpose of these tests was to determine U.S. vulnerabilities to biological warfare. For example, between 1949 and 1969, the Army conducted several hundred biological warfare tests in which unaware populations were sprayed with bacterial tracers or simulants that the Army thought were harmless at that time. Some of the tests involved spraying large areas, such as the cities of St. Louis and San Francisco, and others involved spraying more focused areas, such as the New York City subway system and Washington National Airport. In another Army experiment conducted between 1959 and 1974, approximately 2,200 volunteers were exposed to biological pathogens, such as Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis and Tularemia, as part of research to develop vaccines and antidotes. Available records show that people suffered immediate acute injuries in some tests and that people died in at least two tests. For example, available records show that some participants in the Armys and the Navys mustard and lewisite tests suffered burns and required hospitalization. Also, in a highly publicized case, an Army employee died in 1953, a short time after participating in a CIA experiment using LSD. Research studies have also shown that exposure to some of the substances used in the tests may create health problems that often will not appear for many years. For example, the National Academy of Sciences concluded in 1993 that exposure to mustard agents could cause many serious diseases that would not immediately appear, such as leukemia, emphysema, respiratory and skin cancers, and eye diseases, and that lewisite agents could cause some of these same diseases. some agencies have made little effort to assist test participants by identifying test locations and participants in experiments conducted by contractors. The CIA, in fact, has not released the names of 15 of the approximately 80 organizations that conducted experiments under the previously discussed MKULTRA program because the organizations do not want to be identified. If youve grasped what youve just read, I dont need to highlight the horrendous facts. However, I would offer a coda: Right now, on Maui, Monsanto and Dow are suing to nullify a citizens vote that blocked biotech GMO/pesticide experimentation in that county. These corporations are undertaking toxic experiments on the whole population in that area. The scientific data re GMOs and pesticides are locked up as proprietary corporate property. Yet another secret, yet another pronouncement that everything is safe. No protection, no informed consent, no transparency, no independent review. Even among corporate insiders, very few know the full extent and nature of the GMOs being deployed or the chemicals being sprayed on the heads of the people. Its in the grand traditionhuman experimentation. RICO crime, war crime. Depraved indifference to human life, in the service of helping the planet.

1	In the wake of the shooting that left seven dead at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, WI, the nation's assault weapons held a press conference today in which they pleaded with lawmakers to please just make them illegal. Speaking on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of highly accessible American firearms that are reportedly 'tired of taking the lives of innocent people,' a group of military-designated, semiautomatic weapons pleaded for legislation that would immediately take them off the market and 'far, far away from any psychos who would want to murder civilians.' 'Every day we have to live with the overwhelming guilt and sorrow of knowing we've been used to brutally and senselessly murder people,' said an M16, who read from a prepared statement while flanked by more than a dozen fellow assault weapons. 'How many more human beings do we have to kill before lawmakers finally prohibit private citizens from buying us? Enough is enough already.' 'Christ, do you have any idea how many children there are out there whom I could potentially murder at any given moment?' the 5.56 mm rifle added. 'Dont you at least want to keep us away from your kids?' Maintaining composure while delivering the address, the group of highly powerful guns asked that lawmakers 'at the bare minimum, for God's sake,' raise restrictions so that mentally ill people could no longer get their hands on weapons and use them to kill people in public places. The firearms furthered their argument by asking if anyone present could provide 'even one logical reason why a civilian would ever need an assault weapon in the first place.' 'I understand the second amendment means a lot to some people, but if it means we're going to be in the hands of violent, mentally disturbed individuals, then I, personally, don't want any part of it,' said a Glock 19 semiautomatic sidearm, taking the stage as its fellow assault weapons silently nodded in the background. 'I don't want to have to look terrified, helpless people directly in the eye while killing them. Do you people have any idea what that's like? Its an absolute nightmare.' The consortium of military-grade weapons then proceeded to discard numerous rounds of armor-piercing bullets on a table in front of them, begging reporters to 'take these away, take them all away before anyone else gets hurt.' 'Every time this happens, whether it's Wisconsin or Aurora or Arizona, you all talk about finally criminalizing us, but it never, ever happens,' said an emotional AK-47, who was being comforted by a pair of TEC-9s. 'We're tired of being used to kill people, goddamn it. And we're scared. We're scared of what we're going to be used for next.' 'If you people have any sense of common decency, you will do the right thing here,' the assault rifle added. 'Please, please, look into your hearts.' At press time, the nation's assault weapons returned to their homes, where their owners repeatedly and aggressively emptied them into moving cardboard targets. 
1	When asked which team she wanted to win the NFL's most coveted prize, local girlfriend and Super Bowl party attendee Christy Lester, 25, told those in attendance that she was voting for the Arizona Cardinals. 'I'm voting for them because I like their quarterback Matt Lineman [sic]. He's hot,' said Lester, who, though she has never filled out a ballot of any kind for a Super Bowl, added that in 2008 she voted for the New England Patriots, that she forgot who she voted for in 2007, and that in 2006 she voted for the team Jerome Bettis was on because that's the team her dad likes. 'That Cash4Gold.com commercial was so hilarious.' Historically, NFL championships have been decided by tallying the number of points scored during four quarters of football and not by ballots cast by a public electorate. 
2	Who This Woman Thinks Is Responsible For Supporting Her And Her 12 Children Is Shocking Weve all heard stories about welfare users abusing the system, but this Tampa mother of 12 crosses a line that even we cant describe. According to reports, 27-year-old Angel Adams blames the system for her inability to get clothes, food, shoes, and a home for her children. According to reports, Adams has 15 children in total. She was evicted from her apartment after the landlord learned that she had 12 children living with her. According to Adams, all of her belongings are now sitting on the curb outside of the dwelling. The building owner claims that Adams received several warnings, and even tried to offer her help. The mother of 15 decided to ignore them, despite the fact that agencies were paying for both her rent and utilities. She was even provided with furniture. According to Adams, shes owed more than that. She claims that her life didnt fall apart until social services agencies got involved. That incident happened when the father of ten of her children was arrested. Somebody needs to pay for all of my kids, and mine and Gary, all of our suffering and all of our pain, claims Adams. Somebody needs to be held accountable and they need to pay. 
1	According to company sources, the spring class of interns at Fischer Marketing was encouraged by their supervisor Tuesday to show their commitment and drive around the office by voluntarily taking on more responsibilities of three full-time employees. Youll get as much out of this experience as you put into it, so dont hesitate to take on as many different projects as you can, said account manager and internship coordinator Brian Pearson, 41, adding that if any of the five unpaid interns ever found themselves without enough to do, they could always come to him for additional assignments intended for paid employees with at least two years of professional experience. This is a great opportunity, so just try to take advantage of your time with us and learn as much as you can. Having the right attitude goes a long way around here. Pearson stressed that the college-aged interns, who receive no compensation whatsoever for what is officially scheduled as a three-day, 30-hour-per-week internship, should always aim to go above and beyond by accepting a wide array of jobs designed for multiple full-time staff members. Interns were also reportedly urged to speak up and ask whatever questions they may have about performing the work of employees receiving $60,000 annual salaries, full health and dental benefits, 401(k) plans, and several weeks of paid time off. We really want you to get a good sense of all the different areas of our business, said Pearson of the company whose CEO recently called for a hiring freeze as well as a strict limit on all employee expenses. So now that youve been here for a few weeks and have gotten the hang of the basics, feel free to branch out a little more. For example, if you want to challenge yourself and assemble the purchase specs for the Freeman-Baines buy, just go ahead. We love to see things like that. And if you have time, you could also compile the accounts CRM data, outline the six-month revenue targets, and email it to [Vice President] Mike [Seibert], Pearson continued. And if you could get it done by 3, or 4 at the latest, that would be very helpful. On top of making coffee, photocopying documents, answering phone calls, and sorting mail, the additional responsibilities Pearson has encouraged the interns to not be shy about undertaking reportedly include coordinating meeting schedules, processing expense reports, analyzing sales data, writing website copy, arranging travel itineraries, providing IT support, scheduling employee training, issuing internal memos, filing payroll forms, managing social media accounts, preparing press releases, collecting market research, building project proposals, managing upcoming deadlines, and searching for new client leads. Pearson added that if an intern ever has any suggestions for expanding the program to include additional duties ordinarily performed by much older and properly qualified employees with families, his door is always open. The most important thing is to show a lot of initiative, Pearson said. If you notice something around the office that needs to get done, just take it upon yourself to do it. And definitely feel free to work late once in a while if you want to do more. Who knows, if things go well, we might even be able to extend your internships into the summer, Pearson added. At press time, the company had posted several new internship openings after letting go of five senior staffers. 
1	Greyhound Lines announced Monday that the premiere issue of Turnpike, the transportation giant's new in-bus entertainment magazine, is now available free of charge on each of its 13,000 daily departures. 'Greyhound passengers need only reach under the seats in front of them to learn about the myriad attractions offered by our nation's highway rest stops and bridge underpasses,' Greyhound spokesperson Jane Lindley said of the new publication, which features a cover profile on Faith Ford of Murphy Brown fame.' Turnpike will also provide useful and engaging information for frequent riders, including reviews of Roy Rogers restaurants nationwide and a monthly humor column penned by our own CEO David Leach, titled 'Running On Fumes.'' Lindley also announced the upcoming October launch of Groundmall, an in-bus consumer catalog that will allow passengers to prepurchase selected sundries, mirrored sunglasses, and barbecue-flavored sunflower seeds and pick up their items when the bus stops at an en-route Stop N' Go. 
1	Calling a press conference Wednesday to address a matter of grave seriousness, a major public organization reportedly reassured those in attendance that steps will be taken and that every effort will be made to rectify the problem if one is found to exist. Its a relief to know theyre not taking the situation lightly and remain committed to looking into the matter at every level, said press conference attendee Madeleine OHara, who admitted her confidence had been shaken when news of the potentially devastating allegations first broke. They also said continuing efforts were in place to hold accountable any responsible parties, so obviously thats great to hear, as is their promise to leave no stone unturned. Im just happy all proper measures are being implemented, you know? Several members of the press nodded in agreement, saying the only thing left to do now is tell the American people the good news. 
3	Obamacare Penalties and Premiums Are Rising: What You Need to KnowLily Dane The Obamacare website homepage has an exciting announcement for us! Heres what it says: See plans prices for 2015! How aboutNO. Id rather not, thanks. Like Daisy Luther of The Organic Prepper, I am NOT going to comply with Obamacare. Ive said that from the day I first heard about this extortion plan. The mainstream media is alerting us that UH OH!, the second enrollment season is HERE and if you dont comply like a good citizen, youll be facing even BIGGER penalties this time around! From CBS: Americans will see their bank accounts shrink if they dont sign upfor Obamacare in its second enrollment season. Uninsured Americans who decide not to enroll will face a penalty of $325 per person, more than tripling the $95 penalty those who did not enroll had to pay the first time around. Children under the age of 18 will be fined $162.50. The maximum amount an uninsured family will be penalized is $975 under the flat-rate method. Oh, wait theres more! The financial penalty for skipping out on health coverage will more than triple to$325 per person in 2015, or 2 percent of income, depending on whichever is higher(emphasis mine). Note that the maximum amount a family would be penalized under the FLAT RATE method is $975. I dont know about you, but I think thats a LOT of money, especially in this terrible economy. And that flat rate penalty is mostly going to affect lower-income and middle income families. Some middle class families make too much money to qualify for a subsidy, so they will be stuck with a hefty penalty if they cant buy insurance. Once again, the middle class gets slammed. They are damned if they do, damned if they dont. I thought the purpose of the ACA was to HELP lower income families? To make matters even worse, if families who DO qualify for the subsidies use the federal exchange to buy insurance because their state doesnt offer an exchange, they might be out of luck. Thats because the legality of subsidies issued through the federal exchange is in question. The Supreme Court has agreed to rule on this in early 2015, as Mac Slavo reported: The chief aim of the law is to expand health insurance coverage and offer financial assistance to families that cant afford it. Since most states declined to set up their own health insurance exchanges, the federal government was left to set them up instead. As a result, more than two-thirds of the people who had signed up for health insurance of April 30 purchased their insurance from a federal exchange. Among all enrollees, 85 percent received subsidies to help pay for it thats almost 5 million people. The average value of these tax credits was $264 a month, which represents a discount off the sticker price of more than three-quarters. Senior analyst Laura Adams of InsuranceQuotes.com told CBS The penalty is meant to incentivize people to get coverage. This year, I think a lot of people are going to be in for a shock. Is it meant to incentivize us, or to extort us? I think this definition of extortion from FindLaw gives us our answer: Most states define extortion as the gaining of property or money by almost any kind of force, or threat of 1) violence, 2) property damage, 3) harm to reputation, or 4) unfavorable government action. To add insult to injury, the prices for plans are going up WAY up: Its not only the uninsured who will be facing higher costs. Many health-care plans are also charging more, with Investors Business Daily finding that a 27-year-old earning 250 percent of the poverty rate will pay an average of7 percent more for the lowest-cost bronze plan, based on an analysis of rates in the largest city in 34 states. The lowest-cost silver plan will rise an average of 9 percent, while the lowest-priced catastrophic policy will climb 18 percent, the analysis found. Now, for even more shocking numbers The financial site NerdWallet ran some numbers to see how much a lifetime of Obamacare penalties would cost. The title of the article says it all. Study: A Lifetime of Obamacare Penalties Can Total Six Figures Here are some key points from the article: NerdWallet estimated the cost of a lifetime of penalties that is, what penalties might cost for someone who never purchases insurance. Our calculations predict that individuals will pay a minimum of $36,556, and families of four a minimum of $109,668. For 2014, 2015, and 2016, the minimum penalty will be $95, $325, and $695 annually, respectively. After 2016, tax penalties will be calculated based on annual cost of living adjustments determined each year by the Social Security Act. To estimate the lifetime sum of tax penalties, we used two methods: Higher-income uninsured individuals and families will pay much more for the tax penalty. For example, an individual making approximately $200,000 in 2016 will pay an estimated penalty of $4,500-$5,000 for one year. For a startling, in-depth chart that shows estimated penalties per year, and for information on how NerdWallet calculated their projections, please see the full article here. Okay now for some relatively good news. Last December, the Obama administration quietly added some Obamacare exemptions to the individual mandate: The 13th and 14th exemptions are listed on thehardship exemption applicationand read as follows: 13.) You received a notice saying that your current health insurance plan is being cancelled, and you consider the other plans available unaffordable. Documentation required as proof: Copy of notice of cancellation 14.) You experienced another hardship in obtaining health insurance. Documentation required: Please submit documentation if possible That hardship exemption form can be found on Healthcare.gov. Heres what I said about the exemption form back in March: For the 14th exemption, what kind of hardship do they mean? Thats very vague wording. And please submit documentationif possible? What if it isnt possible? What if you dont have documentation, and Obamacare itself is simply a hardship for you? Does that mean you are exempt from the extortion tax penalty? I also reported on what some politicians said about the exemptions: House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,saidthe exemption could cover essentially everyone at a Capitol press conference today: Quietly, without any fanfare, theres a real question whether the White House has just abandoned the individual mandate, the heart of Obamacare itself. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va.,accusedthe Obama administration of trying to sneak through a unilateral change to Obamacare which essentially allows anyone who has experienced a hardship in obtaining health insurance to opt out of the individual mandate tax without requiring documentation. And then, theres the whole IRS problem. Last week,IRS Commissioner John Koskinen warned at the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) National Tax Conference in Washington, DC that the2015 tax filing seasonwill be one of the most complicated filing seasons weve ever had. The reasons? The IRSs budget has been severely cut by Congress (hey, they got something right for once!). And, now the agency hasincreased responsibilities because of Obamacare. Is anyone surprised? A lot of Americans saw this coming. We predicted that the IRS would not be able to handle administering Obamacare. The agency cant even handle its regular tasks, or finding hidden lost emails. On that note, I find it funny that Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber called American voters stupid. He sort of contradicted himself, didnt he? He called us stupid right after he admitted that a lack of transparency helped pass the ACA. He also bragged about knowing more about the ACA than any other economist, butthen he told a blatant lie about the state exchanges and subsidy eligibility. Both of his flubs were caught on camera. In late September, the Senate Republican Policy Committee posted an article titledObamacare Unleashes IRS on Americans. Here are some disturbing points from that article: The president hasrequestedthat the IRS receive nearly half a billion dollars in fiscal year 2015 to implement Obamacare. In contrast, genuine, consumer-based reform would have improved the countrys health care system without increasing the IRSs power, complicating the tax code, and raising compliance costs for taxpayers. Obamacare dramatically increased the size and power of the IRS an agency shown over the past year to be untrustworthy and partisan and its role in the American health care system. For starters, over the next decade, Obamacarehikedtaxes by more than $1 trillion, through more than 20 tax increases. The IRS faces enormous challenges in implementing these new taxes. For example, last month the Treasury Departments inspector general for tax administrationfoundthat IRS was unable to properly collect the medical device tax. Taxpayers who claim one of the 19 exemptions from the individual mandate must fileForm 8965with the IRS. As many as23 million Americansmay have to file a Form 8965 for the 2014 filing season. The form has 21 boxes for entries for single filers and 78 boxes for entries for married filers with two dependents. Instructionsfor Form 8965 take 12 pages and contain five worksheets. Oh, and guess what? Most of the people who receive subsidies to buy insurance through the exchanges get them in the form of a check sent from the Treasury to their insurance company every month. Those monthly subsidies were based on estimates of what the recipients would earn during the year. So, at tax time, those taxpayers will have to reconcile the amount paid out with how much SHOULD have been paid. In other words, if the Treasury sent too much money to the insurance company on a persons behalf, the IRS is going to go after the TAXPAYER for any overpayment. This is going to happen even though the TREASURY sent too much to the insurance companies! The IRS issued $3.6 billion in potentially fraudulent tax returns for tax year 2011. They are understaffed and under budget and will NOT be able to handle administering Obamacare. For all of these reasons, I will be filing an exemption and opting out of Obamacare. Instead of participating in the racket that Big Government-enforced insurance-based healthcare has become, I will use the Direct Primary Care option. For more on how that system works, please seeMoney Talks, Obamacare Walks: Some Doctors to Accept Cash Only, the Direct Primary Care Coalition website, andDirect Primary Care: An Innovative Alternative to Conventional Health Insurance.

2	Black Community Calling For Gun Control Over The Way Shop Owners Defend Their Store Recently, looters in Ferguson, Missouri were met with a fightbut it wasnt from police form. According to local store owners, they were forced to protect their businesses with their own guns. I think the first message is to remind all law enforcement that they are hired to serve and protect, Pastor Robert White told Fox2Now.com. If theyre going to sit back and watch looting, theyre not serving us; theyre not protecting us. According to the station, police cars were seen driving past some of the stores that were being looted but did not spot or responded. Allegedly, two store owners called 911, and were sent from one police agency to another with no response. The owners were forced to turn to their second amendment rights to defend their property. Theres no police, he said. We trusted the police to keep it peaceful; they didnt do their job. Attacks and riots in the town have been running wild, and it appears that police are backing down to ease the tension. Meanwhile, criminal acts continue to take place. What do you think? Are you thankful for second amendment rights? 
3	Heroes, fake hope, and real hope in the MatrixJon Rappoport Its about one corner of that controversy: should we accept him as a hero even if the possibility exists that he isnt? The Matrix is designed to stimulate certain emotions. For example: We had a hero. Then he was taken down. Now we will feel sadness, desolation, and eventually nostalgia for what might have been. For example: We have a hero. Lets not look too closely at what he is. Now we will feel hope, a joy at his victories, and a confirmation of our deepest dreams. In both examples, the vast majority of people are an Audience. They experience a vicarious sequence of emotions, by proxy. Proxy equals passivity at the core of consciousness. It is in that deep passivity that the labyrinthine Matrix maintains its hold. And to disturb the passivity in any way brings out complaints and protests. Their ultimate translation is: Dont bother me, Im sleeping. Im the Audience. Understand that were not talking about a person who, inspired by a hero, takes stock, and then swings into powerful action. No, were talking about spectatorship. True inspiration leads to action. The Matrix is about a round of feelings that dead-end. Whereas real hope rides on the back of action. Working in toward the center of themselves from either desire or imagination, they draw a blank. The motor spins, but there is no traction, no signal that takes them out into the world. They settle for fake hope, and when the source of that hope (a hero) is impugned, they boil and rage. Then they stifle those feelings. They settle on: Dont bother me, Im sleeping. If you tell them the world is being run by criminals, they say you are promoting futility. But what they really mean is, their pipe dreams that keep them in a hopeful state of suspended animation are being disturbed. They are in a quiet war with themselves over the question: Can I create something powerful and meaningful? Up until now, the only thing theyve been able to create is a reaction against anyone who intrudes on their core trance-sleep. But Im the exact opposite of a pessimist. I know, as in KNOW, that the INDIVIDUAL has freedom and power. Because, when all is said and done, thats who he is. And who he is can never be eradicated. The requirement that significant and sweeping change for the better must happen in the next six months is the fantasy of a self-entitled child. It is the whine and the complaint of a person who has already given up, but refuses to admit it. Short-term battles for a good world were lost a long time ago. The long-term battle never ends. It is going on right now. Groups begging at the door of entrenched power for crumbs are going nowhere. That is no revolution. That is no liberation. Its a pathetic stage play. Every individual is free, whether he wants to be or not. This freedom isnt given to him or made legal by any mechanism. Freedom is something you take because it is yours. You dont ask for it. You dont wait for it. You dont long for it. You dont inquire about it. Neither do you interfere with the freedom of another. With these two facts established, your life is your own. Your life is yours to invent. If you dont invent it, it becomes a habit, a routine. It becomes an occasion for false hope, with which you can entertain yourself forever. Freedom isnt just a steady-state hum. It is the opportunity to imagine without limit and then create futures and realities that would otherwise never exist. It is the opportunity for endless and deep and high and wide Desire, which you can fulfill by making it fact in the world. To deny these things in the service of some other aspiration leads back to the core trance and the big sleep, by whatever name. All entrenched and monopolistic power is a crime. Its opposite is decentralization, the nemesis of kings, monarchs, and fascists. To understand how decentralizing can be accomplished is not merely to understand a program or a system. The understanding comes through unchained imagining, and then uncompromising action based on it. But I cant! Then you stay in the trance, the land of false hope, the worship of heroes, the need for nostalgia. This is neither unfair nor fair, neither just nor unjust. It simply is. Infiltrated through the culture, there are many so-called spiritual teachings and maxims that excuse and even glorify the human need for passivity. These teachings (propaganda) have their roots in ancient societies that were built on the injustice of a rigid caste system. These teachings were imported into modern civilization to soften the blow sustained by the widening separation between the haves and the have-nots. If it was meant to be, it will happen. Otherwise, it wont. The universe will tell you what to do. Wait for its message. Remove desire from your life. Its the source of suffering. Live your life by accepting what is. Happiness is achieved by being satisfied with what you already have. Above all: patience. The popularity of these and other similar teachings are a testament to the big sleep. The elevation of so-called heroes, at a distance, is merely another strategy to extend that sleep. But we need heroes. Nothing Im writing here refutes that. If we need heroes, its to inspire action. ACTION. Otherwise, people elevate heroes as a reason to a) hope and b) then do nothing.

1	Speaking with reporters Friday after picking up his suit from the dry cleaners, 29-year-old Jeremy Wallace confirmed that he has spent every weekend for the past three years attending a different friends wedding. There was Amys wedding last week, Taras the week before, and Erics before that, and Im just about to head out to my friend Sams rehearsal dinner tonight, said the man who has for each of the past 156 weekends packed a bag and traveled to friends weddings all across the country and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I was thinking about skipping Joshs in July because its a five-hour trek up to Vermont, but we were pretty good friends in college. Plus, if I missed his wedding, it would be weird when I see him at Devins and Lukes weddings later that month. Wallace said he was looking forward to an upcoming wedding-free weekend in early October during which time hes scheduled to attend three separate bachelor parties. 
3	5 More GMO Myths DebunkedHeather Callaghan Why avoid genetically modified foods? There are plenty of reasons; namely, your health. But you might hear people regurgitate the same old biotech slogans, when really its about feeding a bottomless bottom line and propelling an even bigger agenda. Biotech and chemical companies like Monsanto, DuPont, and Dow to name a few, love the technique of repetition to sell lies. They have all they need in the way of lobbying, media, buying science, and government approval to continue doing just that. If Nestle food giant hires cyber armies to put out social media fires, what do you think the other largest corporations in the world do? Monsanto goes to social media war, too, and even has contracts with Blackwater to deal with activists. They start websites to aid public relations. Last month, with the help of a video guide, there were five of the more popular GMO lines debunked. Here are five more with the help of The Corbett Report. Here were the five from before: Myth #5: GMOs feed more people This is the good intentions angle because it certainly doesnt deliver. A 2009 report by the Union of Concerned Scientists showed how genetic engineering absolutely has not increased yields. Big Agri pays little attention to soil health and encourages pestilence with monoculture. But there is a resurgence of interest inbiodiversity from polyculturewith great success.Organic farming in Africa increased yields by 116 percent.There are people around the world who grow giant vegetables naturally. Russia feeds its people with community dacha gardens. Will Allenis a renown urban farmer who creates tons of food in winter without heat. Innovation abounds.Rotation is a solution even for large-scale farms seeking help from GMO-induced pestilence. Food goes to waste in our country and there are regulations that keep perfectly good food from hungry people. In other places there may be food, but no money to buy. A Gates/Rockefeller-fueled project ofthe International Rice Research Institute ended when around 400 protesters in the Philippines trampled it they didnt want the help. IRRI is going to force it on them anyway. To say that there is only one solution to feed the world and it involves marring the entire ecology is absurd and false, as it does not work. If that solution is so great, then why the need to force it? Myth #4: GMOs reduce pesticide use Why would the biggest producers of chemical pesticides create a product that would kill their biggest product lines? If GMOs really reduced pesticide use, their profits would be going down, not up. And farmers wouldnt be forced to double down on pesticide use in the presence of superweeds and superpests. The rise of glyphosate-resistant superweeds has increased pesticide use by 183 million kilograms in the last 15 years according to a 2012 report. Myth #3: No evidence of health problems And how would they know? How would the FDA know? The FDA doesnt test, but literally takes the word of the corporation. Finding out GMOs pass their transgenic material into the surrounding environment took years because biotech companies do not allow academic testing of their patented, heavily guarded products. We are expected to be human guinea pigs over one of the biggest food and ecological impacts that never had any real testing. One would think at least a year of testing would be in order, but the full health impacts of GMOs remain to be seen. However, what little independent testing that has been done shows a pattern of cancer, obesity, liver failure, digestive disease, infertility, and immune dysfunction and that pattern does correlate with global disease spikes in those diseases for the last 15 years, although GMOs are not the only factor. Myth #2: No difference between genetic engineering and traditional breeding techniques In other words, genetic engineering and conventional breeding (for thousands of years) are the same exact thing. Many journalists pump out this oft-repeated lie. Or they might say, same thing just faster. When you realize what natural breeding techniques like selective and cross breeding look like compared to the intensive lab genetically engineered plants its completely ridiculous to try to put them in the same universe. Traditional breeding involves taking one strain of a crop and breeding it with another strain of that same species. Genetic engineering takes genetic material from an entirely different species, not even plant-based, such as bacteria, and inserts it into a plant such as corn sometimes firing the gene into the cell willy-nilly. A Japanese researcher recently conventionally bred rice to make a generation that would yield way more during drought, without genetic modification. Making the argument that conventional breeding throughout the ages is the same thing as altering the genetic makeup to create a new plant is like saying that breeding of humans of different ethnic backgrounds is the same as breeding between humans and horses.[1] Myth #1: GMOs shouldnt be labeledfor some reason There are a couple angles to this one. Big food companies and grocers tried to claim it would raise the average persons yearly grocery bills by $400. That is ridiculous, as food companies clamor to get your good faith back with label changes. No high fructose corn syrup! and Gluten-free! even on bottled water are prime examples. Were talking about three words genetically modified ingredients. Some companies wish to disassociate by joining GMO-Free projects and wearing it like a badge on their products. But the main reason stated for not labeling is insulting and nonsensical: That it would unnecessarily scare the consumer. Because more information is frightfuland we shouldnt know about what we put in our mouths. But that has not happened in European countries who adopted GM labeling. Informed consumption goes on. GM food will never be labeled in America, but raising awareness and making the demand and sticking with it is a great thing. Rachel Parent, the 14-year-old activist stuck with that point even though shyster show host, Kevin OLeary, who was debating her constantly tried to get her off the point even calling her a shill. If the majority of people are screaming for a simple label that will not be provided, there is obviously a much bigger reason. To see why and where the prevalence of GMOs really stems from, see the book referenced below.

1	Long-missing Bauton resident Richard Milk, a former potter turned freak, returned late Thursday night to stock up on supplies. Milk, 36, has been living in a cave since his self-imposed exile. I come in the dead of night to avoid those who would shun me! an agitated Milk said. I want for nothing save enough supplies so that I need never show my face to humanity again! Dont look at me! Im hideous! Hideous, I tell you! Milk appeared at Bautons Gasss-Up, a convenience store located on Union Street, at approximately 11:30 p.m. He was loaded down with various pelts and dried berries. While on the premises, he gathered as many snack foods, canned products, and olives as he could hold, all the while keeping his head down and ducking into shadows. I was sure that he was some pervert, clerk Gina Kaliwictz said. I was getting ready to call the cops. But when I saw his face, I was stunned. It was not my life that I feared for, but rather for all people should this man be let loose into society. When Kaliwictz refused to accept the stack of uncured pelts and berries as payment for Milks purchase, Milk ran from the store with tears of rejection streaming down his face. My hideous visage and banshee voice should not be experienced by anyone, shrieked Milk. Go away! Go now or I shall let flow the boiling oil! Milk, whose features have been described as somewhat unpleasant, left his family at age 19 to live in one of the many caves which dot the towns surrounding hills. There, he has set up a modest living space consisting of a pile of dank rags and a spoon. My spoon understands my pain! Milk said. My spoon is my only friend! I call him Roundy the spoon, and we are friends. Now leave! Leave me to my eternal suffering and misery! One person, 8-year-old Bauton resident Amanda Golden, attempted to befriend Milk by taking some fresh baked cookies to his cave. Less than a minute after entering the cave, she emerged screaming, her face contorted with terror. Mommy said that there was no such thing as a monster, she said with a blanket wrapped around her trembling body. Now I know that she lied. According to sources close to the family, Golden has been unable to sleep without a light since the incident. Milks mother, Anita, was surprised to hear that her son was still alive. Richard was always a bright and compassionate boy, Anita Milk said. He knew better than anyone that he was an abomination, unfit for society. Why he hasnt killed himself yet is a mystery to me. Bauton has contended with freaks in the past. However, since the 1987 repeal of a 100-year-old law permitting the killing of those who offend the eye in profound ways, Bauton has wrestled with how to deal with them. A town meeting is scheduled for next week, during which community members will decide whether to hunt Milk down and kill him, or to exploit him. If Bauton goes ahead with full-blown exploitation, the most popular plan among townspeople calls for the sealing of Milks cave with iron bars. Visitors would then be charged $5 to throw either pies or rocks at his face. Another option is to capture and sell Milk to the circus, which could yield upwards of $500 for the cash-strapped town. 
2	After A Fallen Sheriffs Son Lost An Auction For His Squad Car, The Winner Did Something UNTHINKABLE [VIDEO] Colorado deputy Sam Brownlee was killed in the line of duty in a police chase in 2010. His wife and two sons, Tanner and Chase, grieved for years. On Thursday, their fathers squad car was put up for auction by the sheriffs office to help fund the organization that helps families of officers killed in the line of duty, and Tanner and his younger brother Chase decided to bid on it. It would mean a lot to me and my brother; weve been through a lot, Tanner, 20, told the local news. Tanner raised enough money on his GoFundMe page bid a significant amount. I think if it goes past the limit we have, I just have to hope that someone has it in their heart to win the car and give it to me and my brother, Tanner said about their financial limit for the auction. We dont really have a backup plan. The car was onlyDi worth about $12,500, but the bidding drove the price all the way up to $60,000 by a man named Steve Wells. Tanner had lost, and was clearly upset. However it quickly became clear that his goal would come to fruition when Wells handed him the keys. Tanner said Wells was a complete stranger and that he had no idea the local rancher was planning on buying his fathers car for him. Mr. Wells has declined any interviews to keep the attention on Tanner, but reportedly owns thousands of acres of oil-rich property in Weld County. This is kind of the end of Sams legacy here, Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams told KMGH. Its the last tangible thing we have that he was connected to. [I realize] how much this car meant to him I understand it now, Tanner told 9News. I want to keep that and hold on to it. Did you expect this? What are your thoughts? 
1	After years of back-breaking ticket-buying, Teddy LeBarge's hard work finally paid off Monday, when the 36-year-old Snellville man won $193 million in the multi-state Mega Millions lottery, making him an inspiration to lottery players everywhere. Lottery winner Teddy LeBarge. 'I'm not going to be afraid to take risks anymore,' said Teri Oswalt, a Paducah, KY, homemaker and one of the millions of Americans moved by LeBarge's remarkable rags-to-riches story. 'I'm going to remember what Teddy LeBarge said: 'I just picked my numbers, and they finally done come up a winner.' If he can do it, so can I.' 'This man didn't just hit the jackpot the first time he ever bought a ticket,' said Carla Brooke of Batavia, NY. 'He'd been going down to that gas station for years. It just goes to show you that there's no such thing as an overnight success.' The son of two factory workers, LeBarge grew up without the educational and economic opportunities most Americans take for granted. But that didn't stop him from striving to make something of himself. 'Yeah, I'd drive my old heap of junk down to the Amoco station near every FridayFriday bein' paydaybuy myself a carton of cigarettes, six-pack of Busch, and a few lottery tickets,' LeBarge said. 'Some days during the week, I'd get me some scratch-offs, too, but I always made sure to buy that MegaPick ticket, 'cause that's where you get the big money.' Despite going years without winning a single lottery jackpot, an undaunted LeBarge bravely soldiered on. 'There was sometimes I thought I wasn't ever going to win, but I kept going,' LeBarge said. 'I knew I had to if I ever wanted a big TV and a boat and a Humvee and things like that.' 'I didn't let [not winning] get me down, 'cause I knew what I wanted,' LeBarge continued. 'Sometimes, it wasn't easy to scrounge up those couple dollars, like when I was unemployed from '92 to '95, but I did it. And here I am todaya goddamn millionaire. Shit.' LeBarge, who will receive his jackpot in annual installments of $8.4 million over the next 23 years, quit his job as an unemployment-check collector hours after finding out he was a winner. '[LeBarge] was just a regular guy like me,' said James Hale of Carthage, TN. 'You don't need to be some fancy lawyer or doctor to win the lottery. You just need to be able to guess the same numbers as the ones that get picked a few days later.' LeBarge's tenacity has even inspired some who have never played the lottery before. 'I thought the lottery was for other people,' said Ralph Fischer, a Medford, OR, retiree. 'Now I realize that if I want a check for millions of dollars, I have to get out there and do what it takes. I'm going to make my dreams come true.' As for LeBarge's dreams, he said his plans include paying off his many debts, taking a vacation to 'someplace exotic,' and doing some serious partying. 'The world can't help but look up to him,' said Brenda Kenyon, a Brookfield, WI, daycare worker who buys about 20 scratch-off lottery tickets a week. 'It's so wonderful what he did, such a beautiful story. He truly is a lottery winner.' 'I see a lot of myself in Teddy LeBarge,' Kenyon added. 'He's someone who wanted to have a lot of money with little to no effort. And I do, too. More than anything else in the world.' 
1	Selena Roberts, author of A-Rod: The Many Lives Of Alex Rodriguez, has made a number of fresh allegations against the Yankee slugger in her new biography, most notably that on December 11, 1997, Rodriguez did not put any type of performance-enhancing substance into his body. 'Everyone knows that Alex has taken steroids every day of his adult life, and anyone who says otherwise is being irresponsible or just lying to you,' said Yankee manager Joe Girardi, who testified to personally watching the third baseman inject himself with an anabolic substance every day for the past year and a half. 'I don't care what some journalist saysanyone who knows Alex knows he has put every conceivable steroid and hormone cocktail into his body every single day since he started high school. And probably before then. That's just the kind of guy he is.' When asked directly about Roberts' book, A-Rod finished an injection into his buttocks, swallowed a handful of pills, and categorically denied every allegation.

1	AUSTIN, TXMaurice Juarez has held up an evening performance of Ashcans And Ticker Tape: A Treatise for three hours, hoping to get more late-arriving patrons, the owner and manager of the Austin ArtSpace theater reported. 'People who enjoy alternative theater are all about opening their minds, so they don't pay attention to restrictive things like curtain times,' said Juarez, who is also the play's author, director, producer, and choreographer. 'I put up 200 flyers, so I fully expect this show to sell out.' As of press time, 14 of the theater's 22 seats remained empty. 
1	Alex Rodriguez's first World Series appearance and the Philadelphia Phillies' attempt to repeat as champions may have emerged as the dominant October subplots, but ESPN baseball analyst Peter Gammons said Tuesday that another fascinating angle of the 2009 Fall Classic is a sub-subplot involving Hall of Famer Yogi Berra's brief drive through Philadelphia during a trip to Washington, D.C. in 1953. 'It just goes to show you how much history these teams have,' Gammons said on Baseball Tonight following a seven-minute segment detailing a wrong turn off I-95 by the former Yankees catcher. 'Imagine, 56 years and four months to the day before CC Sabathia starts Game 1 of the World Series, Yogi Berra was actually in Philadelphia and may have passed by the Liberty Bell. I'm not saying the Series will come down to this, but it's definitely something to keep in mind.' Gammons added that a sub-sub-subplot for fans to watch involves former Yankee Scott Brosius, who attended high school with Meryl Fornadel, aunt of Helen Fornadel, who was the principal of Canyon View Elementary School, which is in the same San Diego school district as the elementary school Cole Hamels attended. 
3	Are You Prepared for a Major Port Strike Like the One That Might Happen In a Few Days?Earl Griffin, Contributor Do you work in manufacturing or retail? What will you do if you are furloughed or laid off from your job because there is no work as a result of the resources and products you need sitting idle in port? Have you been saving for just such an emergency? Can you pay your bills even if you are out of work for a while? Remember you wont be eligible for unemployment benefits until you are out of work for as long as 30 days. Even then the benefit usually only covers 60% of the pay you are accustomed to thats just over half and you may still have to pay taxes on it! The fact is most of us are not saving and preparing for hard times. Will you just throw your hands up and accept whatever fate awaits you? I dont recommend it. Waiting in line for FEMA handouts if there are any FEMA handouts, is no fun. Set money aside for hard times. Do what your grandparents did: Save your money even if it means doing without the cool toys that many of us have come to believe are necessities. A cell phone, an Internet tablet, and cable television are not necessities. Ive said that before and have been accused of promoting austerity. I do not support austerity. I support personal responsibility which often includes difficult choices. My council, to anyone who cares to heed it, is to develop a philosophy of self-reliance. Of course a major port strike may well be averted I hope it will be. But what if it isnt? The best we can hope for in that case is a very short strike. If a major port strike proved to be protracted it could shut down much of our nations commerce and trade. You are likely to be affected to one degree or another. Depending on how long it goes on you and your family may be seriously impacted. Do you have food stored? At the moment workers claim they will not stop the movement of food. What if that changes? What if, as a means to gain greater leverage, workers halt the movement of food as well as other items? You would do well to have enough food in your pantry and on your shelves to see you and your family through a rough patch. If food becomes difficult to get, everyone will suffer and the union will see its support decline. If just a relative few people suffer, say those working in a sector of the economy that is seriously impacted by a major port strike like retail or manufacturing, such a strike may prove ongoing. A day or two might not break you. Would a week or two? Would a month or two break you? The nights are cold when there is no heat. If you cant pay the bill because your job is affected by a major port strike how will you stay warm? Do you rely almost exclusively on the furnace or do you have plenty of warm blankets, sleeping bags, quilts, afghans, and long underwear? Now is the time to think of these things before you find yourself in a bind. Let me be clear I neither approve or disapprove of a major port strike, that is a matter of conscience for those involved. My concern is for those who will be affected and their level of preparedness in the face of such an event. You and your family need to have something to eat. You need clean water to drink. You need to be able to stay warm in case it is very cold. If it is possible for you to do so, you should acquire any medicines that you will need in case they become unavailable. You do not need to go out and spend lots and lots of money just think about what you really need and start setting it aside now. Simple foods with thoughtful seasonings will keep you well fed and healthy. Clean water is always your friend. Your entertainment does not need to light up. A good book better yet a nice selection of good books help pass the time happily. Board games and card games are a wonderful way to entertain groups. A recent article that caught my attention asked, Is It Too Late To Start Prepping? It is an article that is worth reading. I do not believe that it is too late. However I do believe that as the economy continues to stumble and the price of food continues to rise, the current window of opportunity may well be closing. If you are inclined to prepare for difficult times like the very real possibility of a major port strike now is the time. Delay no longer. Please share your comments about the potential port strike and preparedness below. This article first appeared at Barking Window Earl Griffins site Barking Window presentsnews that affects us all.

1	Vice President Dick Cheney's office announced today that he will speak at the upcoming Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN, offering farewell wishes and personal observations about John McCain to anyone in the vicinity of his seat in the upper balcony. 'The vice president has prepared a number of remarks to mutter angrily during Sen. Tom Coburn's speech,' Cheney spokeswoman Megan Mitchell said. 'We cannot divulge the specifics of his address at this time, although I imagine it will begin shortly after he spots [Sen. Joseph] Lieberman.' Although no advance copy of the speech has been provided, Cheney is expected to cover a variety of hot-button issues, including the war in Iraq, Barack Obama, the conflict in Georgia, the idiots they have speaking at these things, legroom, the workers at the concession stand, the heat in this frigging place, and President Bush's tie. Cheney may also indulge his surrounding audience by engaging in a brief but loud debate with his wife on the issue of why he had to come in the first place and delivering an inspiring set of closing remarks to convention security on the benefits of fucking yourself. 
3	The Global Fight Against Internet CensorshipBy James Corbett 
3	Alabama Judge Offers Deal to Defendants: Give Blood or Go to JailBy Joshua Krause Aside from how incredibly awful it is to do this to people, it also apparently leads to some rather strange and creepy situations for Americas poorest citizens. For example, a judge in Alabama has been criticized recently for quite literally trying to draw blood from a stone. On September 17th, Judge Marvin Wiggins was faced with dozens of defendants who owed money for court fees and fines. So, he gave them an ultimatum. For your consideration, theres a blood drive outside, The Times quoted him as saying. If you dont have any money, go out there and give blood and bring in a receipt indicating you gave blood. For those who had no money or did not want to give blood, the judge concluded: The sheriff has enough handcuffs. In an audio recording obtained by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a worker at the blood drive tells one defendant he is doing the right thing by giving by blood. Well, and I normally do, he replies. But, I dont like being told I have to or Im going to jail. I thought everybody was joking when he said that, the woman working the drive then said. In another recording, a blood donation ends with the donor telling a staffer: Dont thank me, thank the judge. The Times reported Wiggins declined to comment. The SPLCfiled an ethics complaint against Wigginsfor an allegedviolation of bodily integrity, the report states. Under normal circumstances this wouldnt be unethical, just creepy. However, these arent normal circumstances. This is a state where you can be thrown in jail if youre too poor to pay your debts. So the judge used his states laws as leverage, to coerce destitute people into giving up their blood. How incredibly f***ed up is that? It gets even worse when you consider what this behavior could lead to. Throwing people in jail for their inability to pay a fine, already pushes them into a cycle of poverty. In many cases, the courts can increase the fine when the defendants dont pay on time. Obviously, if they couldnt pay before, theyll never be able to pay under those conditions, which means that theyll wind up in jail. Then they can expect to lose whatever job they may have had, or their car or their place of residence. Then when theyre released, they have nothing to their name but a criminal record that might prevent them from getting another job. Perhaps theyll be homeless for a while, which in some jurisdictions, means that theyll probably be fined again for some minor offense. And on and on it goes. Now, add coerced blood donations to the mix, and you have a system that is literally vampiric. The cycle of poverty suddenly turns into routine bloodlettings to preserve your freedom. Maybe in the future the pharmaceutical industry will get in on the action, and they can force debtors to undergo medical experiments. Or, hell, maybe we can copy the Chinese government and just start harvesting organs from these criminals. There will be no way to escape that one. When the cops pull you over, they see your drivers license. They know if youre an organ donor. Hopefully this judge wont get away with this. As you can see, it would set a horrifying precedent. Joshua Krause is a reporter, writer and researcher at The Daily Sheeple. He was born and raised in the Bay Area and is a freelance writer and author. You can follow Joshuas reports at Facebook or on his personal Twitter. Joshuas website is Strange Danger. Prisoners are already coerced into medical experiments; have been for decades. Since CDC does not care to test the US blood supply which has been privately tested to be rampant with zoonotic [from vaccines grown in animal blood vectors] drug resistant mycoplasma; I guess they wont have any qualms about selling us prisoner blood for transfusions. Yeah they test for HIV, Hep ABC; but there is so much more that resides there in the most intimate of fluids Most U.S. Courts are fraudulent anyway, using British Admiralty Law of the Sea instead of Natural or Common Laws. 
3	The stimulus-response EmpireBy Jon Rappoport From the moment the first leader of the first clan in human history took charge, he busied himself with this question: What can I say and do that will make my people react the way I want them to. He was the first Pavlov. He was the first psychologist, the first propagandist, the first mind-control boss. His was the first little empire. Since then, only the means and methods have changed. (The Underground, Jon Rappoport) Ive spent the past 30 years analyzing, taking apart, and exposing highly centralized structures: Government, supra-government, corporate, energy, intelligence, education, medical, mind-control, media, organized-religion structures; those are some of the targets. They all operate on the basis of stimulus-response. The elite future is stimulus-response. Its based on the premise that humans are inherently (biologically) programmed to be dangerous and the programming must change. In other words, a better Pavlovian dog must be created. Stimulus-response has been the guiding principle of elite rule since the dawn of history. The priest-class searches for the most effective inputs it can find, which in turn will produce the desired responses from the population. Mainstream media, which are actually disseminated propaganda, aim to produce three overall responses to stimuli: a) conflicts and major problems are never resolved; b) I should be afraid; and c) this is all too confusing, which results in viewers and readers sinking into passivity. For the most part, political leaders have paid no attention to the idea of freedom, regardless of which documents theyve signed and given lip-service to. Why? Because freedom implies something beyond stimulus-response. Freedom implies action by choice. And politicians know their power depends on managing conditioned response in populations. In that light, the 20th century was the century of PR, advertising, propaganda, and it was also the launching pad for a number of drugs targeting the brain and its responses. But now, further technological paths are being followed. The alteration of the human genetic structure. The probing of brains with electronic interventions, so that, for example, it will be possible to insert images directly into the visual cortex, bypassing what humans would ordinarily perceive. This is called the transhumanist agenda, and it is. But it is also stimulus-response at a more sophisticated level. And it is another way of attempting to eliminate freedom, while never admitting that freedom exists in the first place. What are the requirements of a future society in which conditioned responses are locked down and pervasive, on chemical, biological, and electronic levels? Well, there is one basic requirement: The population must believe they are happy. Thats the end game. Thats the triumph of Brave New World over 1984. Happiness is an elusive word. It can refer to a number of feelings and thoughts. If you recall, from your childhood, a peak experience, a few moments of sheer ecstasy, you are certainly remembering happiness. But you are also remembering freedom. Thats not what the elite controllers are aiming to produce as a mass societal effect. No; for them to succeed, they must create, in people, an article of faith: People must believe that happiness is shallow, tepid, average. If they accept that premise, the game is over. Because, through genetic manipulation, through chemicals, through electronics, that happiness-target stands a chance of being reached. Then you would have a population ruled by stimulus-response, by conditioned reflexa population that nevertheless interprets that state of affairs as acceptable, because it carries happiness with it. This is how you drastically reduce the possibility of unending rebellion, revolution, and war between the people and the leaders. This is the goal of elite empire. Counter to that, as I mentioned above, is freedom. In its fullness, freedom implies a personal and individual knowing that one is free. No doubts, no conditions. Travel anywhere is the world, visit every college and university from Tierra del Fuego to the North Pole, and count how many courses are called Freedom. Count how many courses are taught with the explicit intent of exploring, deeply, what individual freedom means and is. If, reading this far, you are beginning to suspect that the discredited and ugly word philosophy is creeping in, youre right. Yes, that old saw, that ridiculous subject. Back in the Stone Age, when I went to college, I majored in it. I have a good memory, and I can tell you that nowhere in the departments curriculum was there a serious and extensive treatment of individual freedom. Philosophy is supposed to take up and illuminate fundamental questions of existence and fundamental conflicts embedded in opposing views. Such as the conflict Im discussing here: stimulus-response vs. freedom. Let me boil this titanic issue down to something Ive introduced before: my analysis of two concepts: understanding and meaning. You are reading this article, these words on the page. If you are nothing more than responses to stimuli, if you are merely atoms in motion, none of which are conscious in and of themselves, then how can you possibly understand the meaning of what you are reading? Yet you do understand the meaning of the words. So do I. We are not merely atoms in motion. We are not merely matter. We are not merely pre-programmed responses to stimuli. Which is a way of saying: we can choose, we can decide, we are free, each one of us. The princes of Pavlov would have us accept that there is no you or I. Instead, there is the just the unceasing flow of particles in the universe. Thats all. But again, you are here, right now. You, beyond particles, are reading these words and you understand them. This is what has happened to the human race, through unceasing tons of propaganda and false science: people have come to believe that the arena of stimulus-response is gigantic. But the opposite is true: It is individual freedom that is gigantic. Which leads to the question every individual must ask himself: what is my freedom for? For what action? Is it for bowing down to the Reality that has been artificially constructed for me and everyone else? Or is it for imagining and creating and inventing the reality and the future I most profoundly desire? Now we are getting to the pivot of this civilization. Which way will it ultimately swing? Toward the stimulus-response empire, or toward individual power?

2	Malia Obama Spent 115,000 Dollars On Mexican Vacation What sixteen-year-old wouldnt want to spend Spring Break vacation in Mexico? Lets rephrase that, what sixteen-year-old wouldnt want to spend Spring Break vacation in Mexico with $115,000 at their fingertips to spend. We understand Malia Obamas desire to spent her trip in Mexico this way, but what we dont understand is that her parents actually let herand at taxpayer expense. According to records obtained by the U.S. Secret Service as a result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, the total cost of the trip broke $100,000. The First Daughter reportedly spent $21,682.92 on lodging alone, and more than that on ground transportation and airfare. At the time of her trip, Malia Obama was not even thirteen. She was accompanied by 25 U.S. Secret Service Agents and nearly 12 of her friends. Recently, the story was scrubbed from popular news reporting sites. From the beginning of the administration, the White House has asked news outlets not to report on or photograph the Obama children when they are not with their parents and there is no vital news interest. We have reminded outlets of this request in order to protect the privacy and security of these girls, state Kristina Schake, Communications Director the First Lady. Still, the damage has been done in the eyes of the public, as this is not the first time the Obamas have racked up hefty bills on taxpayer dollars. What do you think of the then pre-teens trip? 
2	Black Teen Does Something Absolutely HORRIFYING To White Woman With A Baby [VIDEO] Over the past year or so, the liberal media has gone above and beyond to paint a picture of white-on-black racism and crime in our country. What theyre neglecting to report are the terrifying black-on-white crimes that frequently occur in America. Many of these crimes are indeed racially motivatedand yet, they receive little to no attention. In a video that has been circulating the internet; a black girl is shown attacking a white girl who is sitting at a park bench holding a toddler. Suddenly, he black girl approaches the girl and pushes her off the bench. She then proceeds to pull her hair and beat her, all while the womans toddler lays on the ground. Of course, youve probably heard nothing about this attack. And certainly Al Sharpton hasnt spoken up about this act of brutality. What do you think? Are you tired of hearing the media tell a one-sided story? 
1	Nearly 30 years of tense relations between the U.S. and Iran came to a dramatic end this March when Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed that his country's suspected nuclear program was in fact a covert operation to build 'Ali Baba and the 40 Loops'the largest, most thrilling roller coaster in the Middle East. In a globally televised address before the United Nations, Ahmadinejad unveiled the 500-foot-tall steel coaster, which he called a 'very real threat' to anyone not interested in having a blast. The Iranian leader then challenged all thrill-seekersyoung and old, Christian, Muslim, or Jewto ride the mighty coaster, which can reportedly reach speeds of 165 mph by using a newly developed electromagnetic propulsion system previously seen only in blurry satellite images. All U.N. inspectors were given complimentary season passes for being so patient. 'I regret having kept you in the dark for this long, but doesn't the surprise make it so much better?' a smiling Ahmadinejad said while gesturing to the massive coaster's interlocking quadruple vertical corkscrews. 'And to think, you were all afraid we would use this technology for evil. Well, the only thing the world should fear now is Ali Baba's heart-stopping 400-foot drop!' Members of a special U.N. envoy were immediately granted access to the new ride, and spent the next six hours conducting more than 30 separate critical examinations of the roller coaster. By late evening, however, inspectors said their findings were still inconclusive and determined that the fact-finding mission would require further test rides, corn dogs for everyone, and photographic documentation of their efforts. Despite years of economic sanctions and the constant threat of military action, Iran reportedly continued working on the clandestine project by stockpiling metal tubes for the tracks, enriching uranium to provide glow-in-the dark lighting for the subterranean portion of the ride, and purchasing hundreds of gallons of neon green paint from Pakistan. 'We have moved wisely and decisively to establish Iran as a regional power in the amusement park field,' said Ahmadinejad, adding defiantly that the nation would not succumb to Western standards for height requirements. 'Wheeeee!' In response to rumors that the new Iranian amusement park will include a ride dedicated to bridging the foreign relations gap with Israel, Ahmedinejad flatly denied the existence of the so-called 'Holocoaster.' 
3	Is Dr. Copper Foreshadowing A Stock Market Crash Just Like It Did In 2008?Michael Snyder So farthis year, the price of copper has dropped from a high of $3.40 back in January to a price of $2.95 as I write this article, and many analysts are warning that this is just the beginning. By itself, this should be quite alarming to investors, but as you will see below there are a whole host of other signs that a stock market crash may be rapidly approaching. But before we get to those other signs, let us discuss copper a bit more first. I cannot remember a time since 2008 when there has been such an overwhelming negative consensus about where the price of copper is heading. The following is from aCNBC article that was posted this week Cascading copper prices have multiple root causes that lead to one conclusion: The anticipated global economic recovery may not be all its cracked up to be. Consequently, analysts are in virtual unison that the extended-term trajectory is lower for the metal often used as a growth barometer. Copper futures are off more than 12 percent in 2014 and 7 percent over just the past three days, though they rose less than 1 percent in Wednesday trading. A slowdown in the global economy, forced selling by Chinese banks and technical factors have converged in multiple calls for more weakness in a commodity known by traders and economists as Dr. Copper for its ability to accurately make economic prognoses. We shall see. Meanwhile, there are lots of other signs that the financial markets are repeating patterns that we have seen in the past. For instance, the level of margin debt on Wall Street just soaredto another brand new record high The amount of money investors borrowed from Wall Street brokers to buy stocks rose for a seventh straight month in January to a record $451.3 billion, a potential warning sign that in the past has coincided with irrational exuberance and stock market tops. We saw margin debt spike dramatically like this just prior to the crash of the dotcom bubble in 2000 and just before the great financial crisis of 2008. Just check out the chart in this article. Shouldnt we be alarmed that it is happening again? If you listen carefully, there are many prominent voices in the financial world that are trying to warn us about this. Here isone example One characteristic of getting closer to a market top is a major expansion in margin debt, says Gary Kaltbaum, president of Kaltbaum Capital Management. Expanding market debt fuels the bull market and is an investors best friend when stocks are rising. The problem is when the market turns (lower), it is the markets worst enemy. And of course margin debt is far from the only sign that indicates that we are in a massive stock market bubble that is about to crash. The following is a list of 10 signs that comes from a recent articleby Lance Roberts of STA Wealth Management I was recently discussing the market, current sentiment and other investing related issues with a money manager friend of mine in California.(Normally, I would include a credit for the following work but since he works for a major firm he asked me not to identify him directly.) However, in one of our many email exchanges he sent me the following note detailing the 10 typical warning signs of stock market exuberance. (1) Expected strong OR acceleration of GDP and EPS (40% of 2013s EPS increase occurred in the 4th quarter) (2) Large number of IPOs of unprofitable AND speculative companies (3) Parabolic move up in stock prices of hot industries (not just individual stocks) (4) High valuations (many metrics are at near-record highs, a few at record highs) (5) Fantastic high valuation of some large mergers (e.g., Facebook WhatsApp) (6) High NYSE margin debt Margin debt/gdp (March 2000: 2.7%, July 2007: 2.6%, Jan 2014: 2.6%) Margin debt/market cap (March 2000: 1.8%, July 2007: 2.3%, Jan 2014: 2.0%) (7) Household direct holdings of equities as % of total financial assets at 24%, second-highest level (data back to 1953, highest was 1998-2000) (8) Highly bullish sentiment (down slightly from year-end peaks; still high or near record high, depending on the source) (9) Unusually high ratio of selling to buying by corporate senior managers (the buy/sell ratio of senior corporate officers is now at the record post-1990 lows seen in Summer 2007 and Spring 2011) (10) Stock prices rise following speculative press releases (e.g., Tesla will dominate battery business after they get partner who knows how to build batteries and they build a big factory. This also assumes that NO ONE else will enter into that business such as GM, Ford or GE.) All are true today, and it is the third time in the last 15 years these factors have occurred simultaneously which is the most remarkable aspect of the situation. And for even more technical indicators such as these, please see Charles Hugh Smiths excellent article entitled Why 2014 Is Beginning to Look A Lot Like 2008. So do all of these numbers and charts actually prove that something is about to happen? Not necessarily. But if we do not learn from the past then we are doomed to repeat it. At this point, even representatives from the big Wall Street banks are warning about the euphoria on Wall Street The stock market entered euphoria mode late last year and has remained there, except for a week in February, as speculative froth bubbles around the markets hottest sectors, Citis chief equity strategist told CNBC on Tuesday. And even market cheerleader Jim Cramer is warning that the stock market is now exhibiting top behavior The parabolic moves of stocks such as Plug Power and FuelCell Energy have the stock market exhibiting top behavior, CNBCs Jim Cramer said Wednesday. Cramer said he has tracked the fuel cells stocks since his days as a hedge fund manager. Runups in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae also had him worried. None of what you just read above guarantees that the stock market will crash this week, this month or even this year. And nobody knows the exact date when the next stock market crash will happen. But one thing is for certain this massive stock market bubble will burst at some point, and when it does our economy is far less equipped to handle it than it was the last time. Based on my research, I am entirely convinced that the coming economic crisis is going to be substantially worse than the last one, and that is very bad news for the United States. So what do you think? Do you agree or do you think that I am nuts? Please feel free to share your opinion by posting a comment below This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse.

1	According to reports from across the nation, all 315 million residents of the United States exhaled in relief and expressed a contented sense of reassurance Friday on news that the ExxonMobil Corporation had recorded nearly $45 billion in profits last year. Oh, thank God! said visibly relieved part-time drug store cashier Helen Gregory of Youngstown, OH, who called the oil and gas multinationals total revenues of $483 billion deeply comforting and a true blessing, echoing the sentiments of every other American from coast to coast. I cant tell you how good it is to know that the worlds largest corporation is still unimaginably profitable. Now I can finally get some sleep and stop worrying. In spite of ExxonMobils positive earnings report, every single person nationwide confided a slight sense of disappointment that the companys annual profits were only the second-highest in corporate history. 
1	According to results of a survey released Monday by the Department Of Education, most U.S. teenagers characterize their education as 'fine.' School Fine The survey, conducted by the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), polled more than 2,000 public-school attendees between the ages of 14 and 18. The students were asked a wide variety of questions about their educational experience, ranging from the subjects they were studying to their feelings about homework, to what they had for lunch that day. To the question, 'How was school today?' 68 percent of participants responded 'fine,' while 18 percent answered 'good' and 10 percent 'okay.' The remaining 4 percent replied with a shrug. 'This is the highest 'fine' response we've ever gotten since these surveys were first conducted in the 1960s,' said Jeanette Franks, an OERI researcher who supervised the survey. 'By comparison, in last year's survey, just 44 percent said school was 'fine' today, while 41 percent said, 'ehh,' and 15 percent said, 'I 'unno.' This year, the 'I 'unnos' didn't even rank.' 'The findings of this survey should be heartening to parents and educators nationwide,' Education Secretary Richard Riley said. 'Children are our greatest natural resource, and for a majority of them to feel that they are receiving a fine education is wonderful news.' U.S. students also expressed optimism about their ability to succeed in school. Asked if they expect to do well on upcoming algebra tests, 87 percent said, 'Sure.' Asked if they were prepared for English exams, 51 percent responded 'Yeah' and 40 percent 'I guess.' Edina, MN, high-school junior Megan Brodhagen, one of the millions of U.S. teens who praise their educational experience as 'good.' Students were even more enthusiastic about America's hard-working educators, with 71 percent characterizing their social-studies teachers as 'incredibly fascinating' and earth-science teachers as 'not at all boring.' A full 82 percent said that their civics class is 'so important, I don't want to miss a second of it.' According to Franks, America's teens have an unusually strong sense of the importance of their education and the vital role it plays in becoming productive members of society. 'We asked our survey participants if what they were learning in school was helping them become better people and giving them a sense of values and concern for the community,' Franks said. 'A whopping 89 percent answered, 'Sure,' with the remaining 11 percent split among 'Yeah, sure,' 'Sure, I guess,' and, 'Sure. Whatever.'' Despite the welcome results, the Department Of Education is refusing to rest on its laurels. 'Yes, my department is extremely pleased by the poll's results, but we still have a long way to go,' Riley said. 'I, for one, will not rest until every child in America feels that school is 'fine.' In this, the richest and most powerful nation on the planet, no child should receive an education that is merely 'ehh.' Our kids deserve better.' 
2	BREAKING: China Taking Military Action Against ISIS After Two Hostages Are Executed ISIS has just executed two Chinese citizens they were holding hostage. China did not take lightly to this. ISIS is out of control. They think they can take on the world, but this will be their downfall. The two hostages were found with bullets through their heads. China has vowed to bring justice to its people. The Chinese government announced that they would respond with military action to any violent threats to the welfare of its people. Should Obama take action and join France, Russia, and China in destroying ISIS? 
3	Obamacare and the medical destruction of human lifeJon Rappoport If you have a system that is already killing a huge number of people, and you make that system bigger and bring millions more people under the same umbrella, the death toll will accelerate. The key journal paper on medical destruction is: Dr. Barbara Starfield, Journal of the American Medical Association, July 26, 2000, Is US Health Really the Best in the World? I laid out the statistics yesterday. Every year in the US, the medical system kills 225,000 people. 106,000 die as a result of FDA-approved medical drugs. The other 119,000 die as a result of mistreatment in hospitals. I use the Starfield report because it is right down the middle of mainstream medicine. Before her death, Starfield was a widely respected public health expert. For many years, she worked at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. The Journal of the American Medical Association is as mainstream and prestigious as you can get. Im fully aware that independent researchers have pegged the death toll from the US medical system at a much higher number. But I wanted to show that, even in The Club, the statistics are known to be horrendous. Think about it. The US medical system kills 225,000 Americans per year. That adds up to well over 2 MILLION deaths per decade. I asked her whether she was aware of any significant government program directed at fixing the system. Again, she answered No. Try this imaginary fictional analogy. You work for the government in auto safety. You know two things. Every tenth car in America contains a fatal flaw that will cause a crash at speeds in excess of 40mph. And, as a result of new legislation, millions more Americans will be on the road driving cars. What would you do? US politics lives and thrives on PR, and PR makes its money from empty generalizations and promises. In the medical arena, its all about better care for all, humane concern for everyone, breakthroughs coming soon, money for more research, etc. This has nothing to do with the actual effects of the system. It has nothing to do with reality. Well, here is the reality. By the most conservative estimate, the US medical system kills 2,250,000 people per decade. Thats the system thats heading for massive expansion under Obamacare. You have a choice. You can go with the empty PR, or you can face the facts and realize whats going to happen. Well, some people have told me, the politicians in charge dont really understand what the medical system is doing to people. Its just ignorance. Their hearts are in the right place. And that matters? That argument is meant to exonerate the flavor of the week inside the Beltway. It has nothing to do with ongoing death stemming from standard medical practice. The death statistics Im citing in this article arent a state secret. Doctors chopping off womens breasts for no reason. Medical drugs putting people into the grave. Vaccines causing neurological damage. Psychiatric drugs blasting brains and pushing people over into violence, including suicide and murderno problem. The politicians hearts are in the right place. Walk through a cemetery and try that defense.

3	Financial Bubbles EverywhereMichael Snyder And of course similar things could be said about most of the rest of the planet as well. In fact, the total amount of government debt around the world has risen by about 40 percent just since the last recession. But it is never sustainable when asset prices and debt levels increase much faster than the overall level of economic growth. History has shown us that all financial bubbles eventually burst. And when these current financial bubbles in America burst, the pain is going to be absolutely enormous. You know that things are getting perilous when even the New York Times starts pointing out financial bubbles everywhere. The following is a short excerpt from a recent NotQuant article Welcome to the Everything Boom and, quite possibly, the Everything Bubble. Around the world, nearly every asset class is expensive by historical standards. Stocks and bonds; emerging markets and advanced economies; urban office towers and Iowa farmland; you name it, and it is trading at prices that are high by historical standards relative to fundamentals. The inverse of that is relatively low returns for investors. Quite possibly? Were not sure what definition of the word bubble theyre using. But in our book when the price of literally everything blasts upwards, obliteratingthe previous ceilings of historical benchmarks, its a pretty good indication that youre in a bubble. At some point a massive correction is coming. No stock market bubble lasts forever. For a whole bunch of technical reasons why serious market turmoil is on the horizon, please see a recent Forbes article entitled These 23 Charts Prove That Stocks Are Heading For A Devastating Crash. The bubbles in the financial markets have become so glaring that even the central bankers are starting to warn us about them. For example, just considerwhat the Bank for International Settlements is saying Sadly, just like in 2007, most people are choosing not to listen to these warnings. Another very troubling bubble that is brewing is the massive bubble of consumer credit in the United States. According tothe Wall Street Journal, consumer credit in the United States increased at a 7.4 percent annual rate in May That might be okay if our paychecks were increasing at a 7.4% annual rate, but that is not the case at all. In fact, median household income in America has gone down for five years in a row. As the quality of our jobs goes down the drain, our paychecks are shrinking even as our bills go up. This is putting an incredible amount of stress on tens of millions of American families. And when you look at the overall debt bubble in this country, things become even more frightening. In a previous article, I shared a chart which shows the incredible growth of total debt in the United States. Over the past 40 years, it has gone from about 2.2 trillion dollars to nearly 60 trillion dollars Of course not. None of these financial bubbles are. It is not a question of if they will burst. It is only a question of when. And some believe that we are rapidly approaching that point. In fact,Marc Faber believes that we are seeing signs that it may be starting to happen already So what do you think? How much time do you believe that we have before these bubbles start to burst?

2	Carrie Underwood Vs. Beyonce Half Time Show Conservatives throughout the country were outraged after watching Beyonces controversial performance on Super Bowl Sunday. They were shocked that she used the exciting event as a platform for her anti-police racially-charged rhetoric. Complete with backup dancers dressed as members of the Black Panthers, Beyonce performed her new anthem Formation. We cant help compare her performance with one from 2010, when one singer decided to display her pure talent without depending on shock value. Six years ago, Carrie Underwood impressed America with her heartfelt rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner. The historical ballot is known as one of the most difficult songs because of the immense range it requires. Carrie performed it flawlessly. What do you think? Is this what true talent and a real anthem looks like? 
2	Media Refuses To Cover What Horrific Thing A Black Man Did To Innocent 12 Year Old In light of recent protests and police shootings, a clear problem is starting to be revealed: we cant count on the media to report unbiased information to us. And while journalists tend to get away with reporting stories without a direct opinion attached, their bias is reflected in the stories they choose to report. The media has been continuously ignoring stories like that of the tragic death of 12-year-old Keith Passmore, who was recently shot in Georgia. Passmore was sitting in a pickup truck with 20-year-old Christopher Martin, parked outside of a house waiting to pick someone up. Suddenly, a man approached the vehicle and banged on the window, telling Passmore to open up. Martin instructed Passmore to keep the door closed, and when Martin attempted to drive away the stranger fired a handgun. Although Martin successfully drove away, he soon realized that his passenger, the young boy had been shot. He did not survive. Given the media attention this incident has received (or not received) it seems an unnecessary detail to mention the Keith Passmore was white and his attacker was black. It brings a new light to the new protest slogan Black Lives Matter, doesnt it? Shouldnt all lives matter? 
2	Megyn Kelly Humiliates Herself On Live TV All eyes were on Megyn Kelly during Thursdays GOP debate, especially with the absence of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. Kelly faced immense criticism following her last appearance, which sparked a petition to have her removed from any future debates. Despite pleas from Trump fans throughout the country, Fox News made the controversial decision to keep Megyn Kelly on the panel for the debate in Iowa. That decision is likely why Trump chose to stay away from the debate. As it turns out, Kelly probably would have been better off staying off the air. Fans were not thrilled with her new look, which included a super-short hairstyle and extremely long eyelashes. Twitter quickly broke out with comments from viewers, like this one below: joy (@kudya_not) January 29, 2016 Megyn Kellys eyelashes are longer than this debate #GOPDebate, Ellis Riojas added from her account. Dont really understand how or why Megyn Kelly ever though doing her hair like that would look good, Eli Wright chimed in. What do you think? Is the criticism of Kelly well-deserved? 
1	After watching the 11-year-old give up the fourth straight double that inning, sources confirmed Sunday afternoon that local Little League pitcher Dustin Bauer is getting absolutely fucking shelled out there. Jesus Christ, are they going to yank this kid or just let them keep teeing off on him? said spectator Chris Wheeler, who added that even the smallest batters on the opposing team have gone yard on the helpless fifth-grader. I mean, he can barely lob his pitches over home plate. Poor little bastard. I feel bad that his parents have to sit through this. At press time, an opposing baserunner had successfully stolen second after the catcher sent the ball sailing into center field for the fifth consecutive time. 
1	An area muppet is being held for questioning regarding its role in an illegal underground chicken sex ring. The unnamed muppet, described as a blue, hyperactive, beaked male of unknown species, is suspected to have master-minded the operation, which involved some 2,500 chickens in 11 states. 'Henrietta! Myrtle! Lucy!' the muppet shouted as Department of Animal Welfare officials dragged him from his home, where he was found naked Monday with more than two dozen female chickens. 
3	Sports, The Greatest Hypnotic Distraction?How sports distraction may be single-handedly preventing mass awakening Picture a room full of people playing musical chairs. You hear the music playing and you observe the players walking around the chairs anxiously keeping an eye on the closest empty chair noting which chair each will try to sit in if and when the music stops. Have you played the game? Do you remember how engaged you were during the playing of the music? You knew exactly which direction to walk and you were paying close attention to the music waiting for the cutoff. Similarly, sports in America and the accompanying culture of sports fanaticism plays peoples minds and continuously demands their focused emotional attention inning by inning, play by play. Sports fans respond to the constant sensational cycles of competition between individuals and/or teams, and the unavoidable emotional and psychological result of winning or losing. Likewise, sports and the addiction to sports, like many other addictions, is a distraction diverting the attention of the participants from reality to the reality of the game and the emotional and psychological addictive benefits it guarantees. As the musical chair participants predictably walk in one direction careful not to miss a second or lose attention for fear of losing the game, so also do sports fans figuratively march in one direction; going along with the waves of storylines, latest scores and memes that the sports leagues throw at them on a daily, even hourly or minute-by-minute basis, careful not to miss a score, a game, or a big story. The Sports Platform as a Tool This sports platform provides a false reassurance and comfort for fans, assuring them that everything is great; everything is under control, come watch the game and relax (more on this later). The sports platform also teaches patrons to never question authority (umpires, referees or coaches), do as you are told, the government is a trustworthy system free or mostly free of corruption, the mass media reports factual truth, we only launch necessary wars to spread the message of freedom so you should honor the wars and the soldiers with season-long events and ceremonies before, during and after games; the war on terror is real because people who hate freedom America and liberty want to kill you; the government is your protector from these people who hate freedom and you should give up all your rights (and your guns) in return for personal government protection from this harm which is why you should support the idea of DHS, TSA and the militarized police state at stadiums and all over your local town. Sports as a marketing propaganda platform Browse any of the professional sports websites and notice the bombardment of U.S. Armed Forces advertisements as they lure you in to join the military. You will be a hero, the ad assures, joining and signing up is portrayed as a mark of wisdom, decisiveness, integrity, and true leadership. You want to travel and be a Global force for good? Then join the U.S. Navy because the U.S. Navy is apparently in charge of the globe. Why bother living a normal boring (or civilian) life when you can travel, have a full-time job, save money and learn leadership? They portray a heroic courageous warrior, not someone who will be asked to fight in illegal and immoral wars, disrupt lives, break apart families, disable, and murder others. From coast to coast this constant lying to the sports viewers and luring them into joining the military is one of many messages targeted at sports fans using clever and thought-out marketing propaganda tactics, and public relations campaigns. You might say, its just marketing, right? Professional sports are targeting a market for their product; just like any other organization, they are recruiting and paying for advertisement space, right? So what is the big deal here? Sports to control the masses Why hasnt America reached critical mass awakening? Consider that tens of millions of American sports fans are subjected to the daily influences of the powerful American sports programming. This system which covers scheduled cycles of physical competitions between athletes, is a powerful hypnotic tool. Studies and observations on human behavior show that humans respond to repetitive stimulus by adapting in many ways. This is known by many as the Repetition Principle of learning. Repetition is associated with, among other things, familiarity and thus comfort, mental adjustment and orientation and coping. Hitler once said If you tell a big enough lie and tell it FREQUENTLY enough, it will be believed. Regarding repetition Aristotle once said it is frequent repetition that produces a natural tendency. Why the concern over the typical sports fans repeated exposure to planned stimuli? Because participants are constantly subjected to pro-government reinforced propaganda. These themes and memes are always on cue, nicely synchronized, and always endorse or reinforce whatever beliefs the establishment government wants you to believe. Im reminded that the May 1, 2011 Bin Laden death hoax press release was first announced to ESPN watchers during a Sunday Night Major League Baseball game. The sports platform served as a convenient tool to legitimize the message they wanted to put out. In this daily, repetitive, cyclic, and hypnotic platform of sports, other more subtle values and lessons are reinforced by the entire system. No one dares speak out against the system, no one dares to express any criticism about the government for fear of backlash. Every day we hear about an athlete being punished for something; either arrested, accused, murdered, sentenced, shot, suspended, fined, and ejected. The incidences of player punishments and the media coverage of these stories has been escalating in all the major sports for years. Some say it is good to see that players are not above the law, but its as much or more about making an example of these athletes as it is the quest for justice. The objective appears to be about punishing players so the millions of young Americans see this and become more and more obedient (and fearful of government/authorities). The message to fans is that this is what happens to people who dont obey. Players are also discouraged from speaking out against the control system, their private lives are now everyones business, and players must watch what comments they express on social media sites for fear of mass media criticism, suspensions, fines, and accusation of misconduct. These all serve as tools to condition the masses to obey. Sports fans are likely to own and watch a significant amount of TV in many cases including other TV programs which are almost all designed to indoctrinate the way you think. Because they physically own and watch so much TV, many sports fans are positioned to digest the ideologies and marketing campaign schemes that are targeted at them. Wouldnt you warn someone about standing in front of a target if you knew that the target was about to be used by nearby shooters? Likewise, sports fans, without realizing it, have unintentionally positioned themselves in the line of fire of the most expensive and sophisticated government propaganda campaigns ever, including the war on terror and the need to give up all your rights in order to benefit from government safety. Unsuspected well-meaning sports fans dont realize the degree to which their view of the world is influenced by the sports culture and the messages that sponsor those sporting events. They are unaware of the degree to which sports is serving a two-fold purpose for the emerging global government. One purpose is to make profit and the other is to provide entertainment to keep the patron coming back for more and thus continuously distract them from the real issues. Sports and the false morality Sports teaches that competition is good, and winning is the only thing that matters. Sports teaches self-denial and that team is more important than self in order to coordinate the defeat of another team. Yes, sports values are similar to military values. Sports has become another form of military training. Values are placed not in what is wrong or right, but on obeying a set of rules just as in military boot camp. This is all part of the sports false morality. As mentioned above, sports fans watch their favorite players do as they are told, they dont challenge authority or criticize the system in the same way that soldiers are taught not to complain. The system equates obedience with being respectful, honorable, and responsible. Someone who speaks out is disrespectful, a smart ass, immature, or perhaps a lunatic or a criminal. Sports talk shows are powerful reinforcement platforms of government narratives and not about truth. Owned by the same corporate giants who own most of the media, sports talk shows have long been known for censoring truth from the communication airwaves. Try calling into a major sports network with real questions about freedom, tyranny, sports, and the global government agenda and see how far you get; you will be off topic and easily cut off. Sports, hypnosis and social engineering What we see is a carefully coordinated mass mind manipulation of sports fans that include the systematic, scheduled delivery of entertainment, distraction from real news, rechanneling of young male bravado, energy, and passion, and a scheduled feeding of government propaganda all so deeply embedded into the minds of sports fans that most of them dont realize the how much they are being manipulated. They dont realize the role sports has played in the social engineering of America. Think of the Boston Red Sox honoring the victims of the Boston bombing and pushing the Boston Strong marketing campaign to keep the false flag event in everyones mind and push the globalist agenda further. Was the Red Sox organization willing to lend a voice to those who doubted the official government version of the event or to lend a voice to those outraged by the unconstitutional lock down? How about the post-9/11 ceremonies that paralyzed the sports world in a whirlwind of emotional displays which went on for weeks. Will we ever really know how these 9/11 ceremonies triggered the anger and imagination of our youth into wanting to enlist in the military and wanting to kill Muslims for America? Consider the social engineering that took place in both cases, without actually saying it; the sports leagues cement the lies by not allowing critics to have a voice, giving the perception that critics are not welcomed, not appreciated, and are not entitled to a voice. In this manner the sports platforms act as ceremonies for socially cementing the lies told by government and media. As the global government plans move forward and Americans wake up to the reality that America is hijacked by thugs who hate the Constitution and freedom, sports remain in the way of consciousness making it nearly impossible for tens millions of young men and women to think on their own for a moment, look around and see the crumbling nation that was once America the free. They continue to believe we are free because they hear the playing of the national anthem before every game and the PA announcer says were free. They accept their slavery at the hands of DHS because they hear the repeated voice coming from the PA system saying See something say something. They are encouraged that its okay to report your neighbor or a stranger to Big Brother for almost any reason that might seem even remotely suspicious. They wont take a minute to think on their own, because after burning all their energy rooting for their favorite team or player there is hardly ever any time, energy, desire, or resources left to act upon any other cause like standing for freedom or the restoration of your country and the Constitution. No way. The question (of defending freedom, liberty and the American Way) is extremely difficult to concentrate on. With so many neurological sensory patterns competing for the sports fans mind it is not easy to choose a paradigm that goes against all the stimulus patterns you the sports fan have been exposed to for so long. Knowing that taking a stand for freedom will make you stand out and will put you in a position of perceived unpopularity with your peers, your favorite team, your favorite player or the perceived opinion of the general masses makes your decision to stay uninvolved that much easier. The thought of enjoying the next game and being consumed in the rush that accompanies each game is more than enough for the typical sports fan to allow themselves to become a passive observer in this fight for truth, and consciousness. And just like that, the sports hypnotic spell goes on consuming all of the energy of our generation. Will this cycle be broken? Will sports fans take a stand and realize that our team (of Constitution, liberty, freedom and America lovers) needs help spreading the message of freedom in America to defeat the agenda of the other team of people committed to the global government and the destruction of America, the Constitution, and freedom? If not, then what will it take for sports fans to wake up? This is a concerning question in a country where many sports fans are fanatically addicted to the cycles of competition in the same way addicts are addicted to gambling and alcohol. Are you a sports fan who understands what is happening and are awakened to our fight for freedom, liberty and the American Way? Help spread this information and hopefully together we can all help break through the sports hypnosis that is stalling one of the great human awakenings of all time and that has a stranglehold on the heart and inner strength of America. Breaking through the sports hypnosis will hopefully fuel the passion for freedom in the hearts and minds of our youth including all of our star athletes around the country who have a lot to offer our country far beyond the endorsing of products to their fans. If you agree please share this article with sports fans and athletes alike. RELATED ACTIVIST POST ARTICLE: Bernie Suarez is an activist, critical thinker, radio host, musician, M.D, Veteran, lover of freedom and the Constitution, and creator of the Truth and Art TV project. He also has a background in psychology and highly recommends that everyone watch a documentary titled The Century of the Self. Bernie has concluded that the way to defeat the New World Order is to truly be the change that you want to see. Manifesting the solution and putting truth into action is the very thing that will defeat the globalists. I like watching sports TV shows even for a couple of hours to not deal with what is going on in the world which I know about. But I dont want to hear about doom gloom 24/7. ie. you dont want to know whats really going on in the world. Sports are the matrix keeping you safe from knowing the truth. I bet you wouldnt have the balls to ever say that to someone serving in the military out in public. You clearly have no decency to show disrespect for men women serving overseas fighting for our freedom they deserve our thanks. Youre ungrateful American a disgrace to the state of Michigan love it or leave it you clearly have no class unlike the military. If it was truly about fighting for our freedom then the military would be guarding our borders. Youre a brainwashed zeolet this is hilarious. I watch sports almost everyday and am not like the brainwashed morons you explain here. Only someone who observes these things from a distance could make these conclusions. Most people are too busy working to even watch all these games anyway, so when they have a day off, they enjoy watching the local ballclub, or whoever they follow. Silly If you watch sports everyday then you are in fact brainwashed. The very act of watching every day tells us that. If they have a day off then they need to read a book, build something with their hands, or play with their kids. You know, get smarter and strengthen your family. Actual important stuff. Im just here so I dont get fined. Brainwashed. If you watch sports and actually care about who wins or loses you are part of the problem. Ooooh, you talk so TOUGH, hard man! A real my country, right or wrong, love it or leave it! flagwaving zombie. The fact is, though, no man has died defending this country (in a military action, at least) since 1865. But if you equate defending our freedoms (funny how our freedoms have diminished, as weve covered the globe with out military, isnt it?) with threatening and attacking anyone and everyone (except, of course, for one small country on the eastern Mediterranean shores) around the globe, then go on with your bad self! And your boyfriend! I am a Veteran. I served honorably with three commendations. I understand your outrage, but it is sorely placed. My family has served since The American Revolutionary War. We have served USAF, USA and USN. You make assumptions about Jonah that likely are untrue, vilifying him through a very angry lens. Do I like what he says? No. But I will not denigrate or degrade Jonah. I remember the anger and palpable hate directed at our Vietnam Vets. They went where they were told. Not where they might have chosen to go. Politicians create wars. Soldiers do not. For me, Old Glory and The Star Spangled banner are symbols of what we can and should be; not necessarily what we really are. I stand and salute, even in my old age still with tears down my cheeks. Lighten up, Joe. Jonah is not the enemy. Misguided, perhaps, but not the enemy. Wanna rage against someone, go after Kaepernick!! Now, HE really pisses me off. 
2	BREAKING: US Soldiers Now Forced To Obey Sharia Law While In Arab Countries As we enter the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Muslims are preparing to fast from sun up to run down. And, according to reports, it appears the United States soldiers may be forced to do the same. According to reports, cultural advisers have spent weeks educating our soldiers about Ramadan. Ali Hassan briefed about 150 personnel about Islam. And in order to honor the holiday, American service men and women are expected not to smoke, drink, drink coffee, or eat in the daylight anywhere off base. Although some believe that they are just attempting to respect the cultural environment, it is a bit disconcerting to think that our soldiers are being forced to practice a religioneven if it isnt happening on our ground. What do you think? Should U.S. soldiers have a say in this? 
1	DALLASSeven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong found his endurance stretched 'almost to the breaking point' last Friday by a three-hour, 30-song concert presented by his fiance, pop-folk singer Sheryl Crow. 'It was a pretty tough slog,' Armstrong told reporters after the event, which he was obligated to attend as part of his new role as Crow's future husband. 'I was really straining around The First Cut Is The Deepest'I don't mind telling you, I just couldn't catch my breath. When we reached 'All I Wanna Do (Is Have Some Fun),' I felt like I'd been through that territory about a million times, and I seriously considered just giving up and collapsing for the first time in my career.' Armstrong, who is revered by millions for fighting through cancer, antagonism from abusive fans, and steroid-abuse allegations, would not comment on whether this latest obstacle would prove too much for him to overcome. 
1	According to friends of Brian and Stacey Stockton, the couple's 30-year marriage is currently hanging by a thread, with only their profound love and mutual respect for one another keeping them together. 'If they don't get a divorce soon, I'd be surprised, because at this point all they've really got to go on is their deep, abiding trust, strong sense of commitment, and willingness to compromise,' neighbor Vince Cafferty told reporters Sunday, adding that the only thing preventing the couple from separating is the fact that they've acted as beacons of support and affection for each other from the moment they first met. 'Marriages like thatbuilt on empathy, a rock-solid belief system, and undying devotionsimply can't last. There's just nothing there.' Cafferty added that he thinks the Stocktons are only staying together for their kids, who went away to college years ago, have recently gotten married, and now use their parents' relationship as a model for their own. 
3	Forced Vaccine Bill Author Sen. Pan Was Top Recipient of Big Pharma CashBy Heather Callaghan A push for mandatory vaccination continues as SB277 makes its way through Californias Capitol. It is a shining monument to Big Pharmas coffers and medical control as the bill removes religious and philosophical exemptions for student vaccination, leaving only medical exemptions signed by MDs. Since medical exemptions are rare, it forces parents to take their child into the doctors for jabs or be removed from school a violation of the right to attend public school. Perhaps by stirring a national debate, the pharmaceutical companies made people forget that there is no crisis and that Californias children have been above a 97% vaccination rate. Yet, at least as early as February, simultaneous bills cropped up across the states to remove the ability to decide, and in many cases the ability to decide scheduling/spacing. That last note has frustrated and unnerved parents who vaccinate but like to have some oversight on the amount of injections given per visit. Recall that six months ago the paradigm was completely different. Online arguments about vaccination were different. Emotions were controlled. Division tactics were subtle. The term anti-vaxxer wasnt really part of the collective lexicon at least not spat out in viciousness or disdain. No one called for personal calamity, sickness or death on anyone else. No one shunned their neighbors or their neighbors children as walking germ bombs or leper terrorists. As Ive written before this vaccine debate we keep hearing about is a joke. A real debate involves two consenting parties and suggests some kind of civil discourse. It is not a corporament attempting to seize power and remove another persons rights by forcing their will. There was never a debate for people who were hurled into the witch hunt. Sadly, the debate requires people who can write and push these bills and they have ravenous appetites A Sacramento Bee reporter didnt initially find a strong link between the pharmaceutical companies and legislators readily on paper and certainly not admitted by pharma reps. However (emphasis added), Other legislation has a more direct bearing on the industry, and it is an active political player. Pharmaceutical companies and their trade groups gave more than $2 million to current members of the Legislature in 2013-2014, about 2 percent of the total raised, records show. Nine of the top 20 recipients are either legislative leaders or serve on either the Assembly or Senate health committees. Receiving more than $95,000, the top recipient of industry campaign cash is Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento Democrat and doctor who is carrying the vaccine bill. Also see: Senator Pans Outrageous Vaccine Lies Reporter Jim Miller also found that the industry donated more than $500,000 to outside campaign spending groups that helped elect some current members last year. Look what else the Bee foundfor 2013-2014 Did you hear a cha-ching! every time you saw the dollar amount next to members name who had direct involvement in the bill? Remember these pharma gifts were givenbefore there was debate about vaccines, before any outbreak. Personal rights are not up for debate, and they certainly dont go to the highest bidder. They dont go away so that corrupt politicians can count money and take extra vacations after weve already provided their retirement. Please act now and dont let the worlds second largest* corporate conglomerate call the shots on childrens health and seal the deal for all the vaccines they have waiting in the pipeline. A removal of choice now is a removal of all medical choice later *The largest industry is the arms industry i.e. war Heather Callaghan is a natural health blogger and food freedom activist.

Recent posts byHeather Callaghan: The political class have become nothing more than highly paid representatives to the global Corporation which is why they no longer have a use for the average Citizen and look at us as useless eaters. This is absolute Fascism and until we stand up against this fascist dictatorship, we are destined to become the slaves to the Corporation with only one Right and that is to WORK! Heres a riddle Ive been asking everyone (especially parents) I know: Why dont the Amish people get Autism? Pan is a prostitute. A large recall needs to be organized of all reps involved in this bill, much like the one in Colorado over Gun Control. litle Richie er umm the schill Pan should be stuck w/ a thousand needles up his..@!XX!! One helluva democracy huh? We must stick together in exercising our rights, and speak out against the Marxist methods that the pharma industry, and the Rockefeller medicine machine have employed against Americans. The degradation of the USA and Americans accelerated just prior to the passage of the CIA act in 1947. Author Anne Jacobsen documents the NAZI activity in her book, Operation Paper Clip. Once the 10,000+ NAZI types were ensconced in the USArmy and CIA leadership, they began to use Americans the same way they had used the German folk in the 1930s. After 25+ years in the US, the top German rocket scientist, Dr. Werner Freiherr von Braun, violated NAZI secrecy, and revealed the plan of the NAZI to overtake the governments of the world via fear tactics. NASA is their tool. Dr. von Braun revealed the secret plan to a colleague, Dr. Carol Rosin, an administrator in the space industry. Dr. Carol Rosin clarifies the plan in her videos. Searching on, Dr. Carol Rosin videos, calls up her videos. Please take a look. The details are exposed in Anne Jacobsens, Operation Paper Clip. Taking a look at statistics, we see that there is a lineal correlation between the increase in vaccinations required for school children and the increase in minimal brain damage classifications. Vaccination does not vaccinate, and prescriptive medications contribute to PTSD. Politicians such as Californias Pan should be recalled, and a person with a patriotic history be voted in. The same applies to other elected officials of California. Why has my comment elucidating origins of the genocidal inoculations plans outlined in the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion been removed? I say its time to get rid of all the boot licking officials who do the bidding of big Pharma and its harming chemicals. With all the medicines they put out killing and maiming way more than measles or any other so called contagious disease. Check out the death rate for legal drugs in the US alone. 
2	Hillary Clinton Caught Doing THIS With The Saudi King... You Will Be DISGUSTED According to recent reports, the Saudi government just hired a lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. that is backed by one of Hillary Clintons top fundraisers. Clinton campaign bundler Tony Podesta is the owner of the Podesta Group, and it doesnt look good that theyre associating with Saudis government right as their facing international pressure to yield their bombings against Houthi. They have already caused hundreds of civilian deaths, including many young children. Still, the firm is set to provide public relations on behalf of the royal court of King Salman. This is not something anyone near the White House should be supporting. Do Hillary and her cronies need to be behind bars? 
2	Obama Spends Spends Incredible Amount On Christmas Trip According to recent reports, President Barack Obama will be spending his eighth Christmas in Hawaii this year. The trip marks the Obamas final holiday in the White House, so its no surprise that they are taking advantage of it. The family is set to leave Washington this coming Friday, unless events in Washington call for the Presidents presence. Per usual, the Obamas are not sparing any expense. As theyve demonstrated time and time again, they are not shy about spending taxpayer dollars. In the past, the family has stayed on the east side of the island of Oahu in the town of Kailua. Their lodging included a $3,500-a-day beachside rental home. Were sure their trip also includes snorkeling, lavish meals out and lots and lots of golf. I am an island boy, Obama said in Paris this month. Obamas trips to Hawaii began in 2008and were interested to see if they stop once he stops having the ability to dig into the pockets of hard-working Americans. What do you think? Do we need a real leader in the White House? Someone who has the interess of the American people at heart? 
2	Michelle Obama Divorce Rumors Circulate White House, Pose Major Threat To U.S. Security Despite their best efforts to claim that everything is fine and dandy in the White House, rumors continue to circulate that the Obama marriage could be coming to an end. Last summer, the Japanese Prime Minister caused quite a stir when he accidentally revealed that the Obama marriage is nothing more than a sham. Now, one year later, the Obamas have spent nearly the entire summer apart. During their vacation in Marthas Vineyard, the pair were hardly seen together at all. What do you think? If the Obamas split, is it the icing on the cake of the worst representation of American leadership?

The fact is that she is a liar, and she will do anything to cover her tracks. The meme below shows exactly what we are dealing with: 
3	Rep. Adam Schiff preparing legislation that could end AUMF, remove authority for war on terrorMadison Ruppert The AUMF has been used to justify everything from indefinite detention of Americans to assassinations carried out by drones so legislation that would sunset the AUMF would bring about many changes. The current AUMF is outdated and straining at the edges to justify the use of force outside the war theater, Schiff said to Wireds Danger Room. Schiff is still in the very early stages of drafting the bill and doesnt even have a timeline for introducing it. Yet Schiffs effort is quite noteworthy since there was only one previous effort to change the AUMF. Obviously that failed. The supposed end of the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan in 2014 though of course the U.S. drone presence there will continue after that will be used as a hinge point for the sunsetting of the AUMF, according to Danger Room. However, Schiff said that he is unsure if Congress should pass a new piece of legislation that would give the president a limited version of the war powers given under the AUMF. Rep. Barbara Lee, also a California Democrat, was the only legislator to vote against the AUMF in 2001 and has failed in her efforts to get the authorization repealed since that time. Im convinced that if we do not repeal this authorization to use force that I voted against in 2001, we are going to see this state of perpetual war forever, Lee said earlier this year, referring to the AUMF. The possibility of some kind of reexamination of the AUMF looks more likely than ever, that is, if we can take Obama at his word. Unfortunately that is very hard to do. I look forward to engaging Congress and the American people in efforts to refine, and ultimately repeal, the AUMFs mandate, Obama said during his speech at the National Defense University. And I will not sign laws designed to expand this mandate further. Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue. But this war, like all wars, must end. That statement was quite different from the position of then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta who said the U.S. must maintain open-ended drone war to prevent another attack on America. Similarly, generals from the Joint Chiefs of Staff and senior civilians at the Pentagon all argued that the AUMF was necessary and should remain in place unchanged during a hearing last week. Obamas position seems somewhat self-contradictory. Even Danger Rooms Spencer Ackerman pointed out, At the National Defense University, Obama simultaneously talked about a longer war and removing his own authorities for waging it. Then again, when the Obama administration admits to killing American citizens while refusing to ever explain the legal justification for the killings in court, that kind of inconsistent statement isnt all that surprising. Theres probably bipartisan support for the idea that the existing AUMF is ill-suited to the nature of the threats we face now, Schiff said. Yet Schiff also noted there will probably be bipartisan opposition to what would come after. Schiffs efforts are still in the quite formative stages but it cant hurt to encourage him to push for a much overdue challenge to the AUMF.

2	Welfare Woman Of 3 Children Brags: I Will Never Work Recently, a woman named Lucy in Riverside, TX made a very bold statement. She claimed that staying at home with her three children and living on welfare is the smarter way to live than having a job. Lucy revealed her position when she called into the KLBJ radio station in Austin, TX. Her intention was to publicly disagree with the hosts, who were discussing the morality of working hard rather than being on welfare. After revealing some key information, hosts determine that Lucy makes about $1,200 a month on welfare. That means that he bills are completely covered. Her rent is only $50 a month, her cell phone is free, she has $425 to spend each month on food, and even has money provided to her for electricity and water. To top it off, her husband receives family benefits. According to Lucy, she plans to be on welfare for the rest of her life, claiming that it gives her the ability to stay home all day, and that she has time to spend with her friends. She says that if others were to be given the same opportunity, or handed a million dollars with no requirements to fulfill, that it would simply be foolish to work. What do you think about Lucys attitude? 
3	Rape Case Against Politicians Grandson Dropped Despite So Much Evidence, Its RidiculousDemand justice for Daisy Coleman and accountability for above the law Good Ol Boy network. An online storm has erupted pressuring a new look at the case, in part thanks to efforts by the hacker collective Anonymous, to bring attention to a rape victim whose family was run out of town while all charges were dropped against her assailant without cause. Watch the video: It is the strange and nightmarish case in the Missouri town of Maryville. After the rape, then 14-year-old Daisy Coleman was dumped on her front lawn in below freezing weather, drunk and beaten. Her assailants confessed to police over their role in a wild high school party the act in question was even caught on tape but the accused Matthew Barnett, then a senior, would not be prosecuted. Instead, Coleman was literally blamed for being a victim, her mother was persecuted and fired and their house was burned down. It seems his grandfather is an important area politician, Rex Barnett, a former member of the House of Representatives in Missouris state government on committees in charge of funding for many parts of the criminal justice system, a long-time member of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and prominent area Mason. Are those in power simply above the law and immune from all accountability? Many have demanded an investigation into the handling by authorities and a re-opening of this case. Aaron Dykes is a co-founder of TruthstreamMedia.com, where this first appeared. As a writer, researcher and video producer who has worked on numerous documentaries and investigative reports, he uses history as a guide to decode current events, uncover obscure agendas and contrast them with the dignity afforded individuals as recognized in documents like the Bill of Rights. 
2	Bombshell Report Comes Out What Megyn Kelly Was Planning To Do To Donald Trump At GOP Debate To the disappointment of some Fox News reporters and several presidential hopefuls, Donald Trump maintained his strong lead following the GOP debate. Of course, this is particularly impressive given that almost everyone there was attempting to take him down. According to reports, Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace, and Brett Baier had intentionally prepared zingers to help them entertain what they were sure would be record-breaking viewers. Baier supposedly told the LA Times that he had a plan for Trump in the event that he took things too far or got out of hand. He was instructed to tell him: Mr. Trump, in your business you have rules. You follow rules. We have rules on this stage. We dont want to have to escort you to the elevator outside this boardroom. Baier claims that the hosts were hoping not to have to resort to such behaviors. But the planned attacks didnt stop there. Even though Trump was on his best behavior, Kelly intentionally asked questions that a producer had said would make Trump go beserk. What do you think? Is this a completely unprofessional way to treat a presidential candidate? 
1	The World Boxing Organization, International Boxing Federation, and World Boxing Association held separate press conferences Monday resulting in the eventual announcement that Manny 'Pride of the Philippines' Pacquiao, a seven-time world champion, would fight Manny 'The Mexicutioner' Pacquiao, considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, in a title bout on New Year's Eve. 'We are proud to have the world's top welterweight fighting the world's best lightweight for the light-middleweight title of the world,' an amalgam of press releases from the three bodies read in part. 'This New Year's, the eyes of the boxing world will be on Atlantic City, Memphis, and San Juan.

Meanwhile, representatives of the World Boxing Council have continued to struggle with staging their own world-title bout, which was marred when Floyd Mayweather, Jr. suffered a shattered cheekbone during his weigh-in, having struck himself repeatedly in the face before handlers could separate him. 
2	DISGUSTING: KISS IT...BILL CLINTONS SEX TAPE JUST LEAKED TO THE PUBLIC While the mainstream media continues to target Donald Trump for sexual assault allegations, despite the fact that there is no evidence to support them, it is important that we hold the Clintons accountable. Why is the media continuing to ignore the numerous rape accusations against Bill Clinton? Take Paula Jones, for instance. Jones is a former Arkansas state employee who sued Clinton for sexual harassment years ago. Recently, she sat down with Breitbart to tell her story about what happened when she was escorted into the governors hotel room in 1991. And he sat down really fast and he dropped his pants, Jones recalled. And was fondling himself. And he asked me to kiss it. Now that is disgusting. And I said, I am not that kind of girl. Jones claims Clinton then threatened her to force her to stay silent. And I was trying to get out. And he held the door momentarily and he said, You are a smart girl. Lets keep this between ourselves, Jones continued. He did not want anybody to tell anybody about what had happened. Interviewers then asked Jones if she felt as though she was tapped inside that hotel room. Yeah, Jones replied. Because I know the state police was sitting outsideHe was in plain clothes but he showed me that he packed a gun inside. So I knew he had a gun. Watch the full interview below and tell us what you think. Do the Clintons need to be kept far away from the White House? 
1	Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who on Wednesday added an NFC Player of the Week award to the Player of the Month honors he received in September, has regained his former confidence to the point that he will soon be ready to commit a horrifying act, sources close to Vick said Friday. 'Clearly he's playing like the electrifying Michael Vick of five years ago, the quarterback who was selected to three Pro Bowls, handed the Packers their first-ever home playoff loss, and had the bald arrogance to kill underperforming fighting dogs with his bare hands and think he would get away with it,' said an Eagles staffer who was 'astounded and impressed' that Vick also leads the NFL in passer rating and asked not to be identified for fear of retribution. 'Every team in the league, and every member of civilized society, has seen what Vick is capable of when he's playing like this.' Regardless of his performance on or off the field this season, Vick will be mentored by Tony Dungy. 
3	Greater Grand Theft CyprusStephen Lendman Weeks after agreeing to Eurocrat terms, six billion more euros are demanded. A leaked European Commission Assessment of the public debt sustainability of Cyprus report revealed it. At issue are needs for the recapitalization of the banking sector, the redemption of maturing medium and longterm debt, including loans and fiscal needs, it said. Another 600 million euros will be raised through higher corporate taxes. Gold reserves sales may raise another 400 million. Eurocrats demand they be sold. Their public debt sustainability report mandates it. Clause 29 states: Sale of excess gold reserves: The Cypriot authorities have committed to sell the excess amount of gold reserves owned by the Republic. This is estimated to generate one-off revenues to the state of 400 (million euros) via an extraordinary payout of central bank profits. Privatizations and privately held debt rollovers will raise more cash. How much remains to be seen. Cypriots are learning the hard way. Eurozone straightjacket rules entrap them. One size fits all doesnt work. Losing control of monetary and fiscal policy assures disaster. Its just a matter of time. Its hitting Cypriots full-force. The original 17 billion bailout rose to 23 billion. It exceeds economic output. Its unheard of. According to Eurasia Group group director Mujtaba Rahman: Cypriot officials have to raise more cash than expected. Eurocrats agreed to a nine billion euro bailout. IMF terms add another billion. Cyprus has to raise 13 billion. Its over double the original amount. Depositors will bear most of the burden. Theyre already hit hard. Those with over 100,000 euros stand to lose 60% or more of their savings. Some may lose everything. Small depositors are protected. At least they are so far. Perhaps not going forward. Accounts of all sizes are vulnerable. Bailout terms override promises. Theyre made and broken. Londons Guardian explained more. Cyprus has to contribute to its own bailout. Its entirely responsible for bearing the extra cost. Cypriot parliaments president, Yannakis Omirou, said: Instead of solidarity from our European partners, we have been served poison. Its more than originally agreed. Expect more demands ahead. It usually happens. Black holes get deeper. Ordinary people suffer most. Cyprus faces protracted Depression. Depositor accounts are being looted. Bail-in terms demand it. Expect pound of flesh amounts to increase. They may do exponentially. Nothing too extreme is off the table. We will resist, said main opposition Akel party spokesman Giorgos Doulouka. Every alternative scenario for the exit of our country from the troika and the memorandum now has to be studied. They are eating us alive. What Greece suffered in three years, Cyprus is experiencing in a matter of weeks. All the extra measures that the government will now have to take will be at the expense of ordinary people. It is outrageous. According to Capital Economics Johathan Loynes: They dont know where there might be more black holes: I wouldnt be that surprised if there were to be another shock in the next week or so. Optimistic economic projections are ludicrous. BNY chief currency strategist Simon Derrick said: Why would confidence return and make people want to put money into Cyprus? The economy is three things banking, property and tourism. Youre not going to rebuild an offshore banking industry in Cyprus; and in tourism its competing against Turkey, where the currency is down 50% since mid-2005. On April 15, Cyprus Mail editors headlined Bailout is turning into a bottomless pit, saying: (J)ust when you thought it could not get any worse, it did. Its becoming increasingly hard for anyone to figure out what the real facts are other than the certainty that we are in a worse mess than anyone could possibly have imagined. It is probably too much to ask that the government of change come clean and tell the people who have been robbed of their money, jobs, and standard of living what is really going on, how much money is really needed, and how this will affect their lives. President Nicos Anastasiade says dont worry. Everything will be all right. Hes delusional. Hes lying through his teeth. People are sick and tired of political rhetoric. Theyre living on a cloud of natural gas. They suffocating. They may end up donat(ing) a kidney. Theyve got nothing else left to give. London-based fund manager Pawel Morski calls Cyprus situation a brutal lesson in realpolitik. Expect it economic black hole to deepen. A stroke of the pen shrunk its banking sector. It did so by a deft combination of taking peoples money and stripping the Greek operations (120% of Cypriot GDP) out and selling them to Pireaus. Given that the Greek operations were to a significant degree responsible for the disastrous GGB trades that wiped out the banks, and given that Pireaus stock rallied sharply afterwards, the Cypriots find themselves in the position of the Blackadder character who not only had a relative murdered, but had to pay to have the blood washed out of the murderers shirt. Naked Capitalisms Yves Smith believes uninsured Laiki Bank and Bank of Cyprus depositors will lose everything. Perhaps insured ones come next. Bail-ins are the new normal. Bank accounts are low-hanging fruit. Theyre easy pickings. Expect Eurocrats and their Western counterparts to take full advantage. Financial wars take no prisoners. Ordinary people are easy prey. Theyre ripe targets. Force-fed austerity harms them. Perhaps looting their bank accounts come next. A Final Comment Bad solutions substitute for good ones. Troubled Eurozone countries prove doing the wrong thing assures disaster. Greece teeters on collapse. Its unemployment hit a fresh high. It tops 27%. Youth unemployment approaches 60%. Its agony reflects whats spreading. In December 2001, troubled Argentina abandoned politico-economic orthodoxy. It defied its creditors. It addressed its duress responsibly. It halted all debt payments. Domestic and foreign creditors were affected. An earlier IMF loan made things worse, not better. Nearly $100 billion in debt was restructured. It was completed in 2005. It was done on a take it or leave it basis. Bondholders took stiff haircuts. Most agreed. They decided something was better than nothing. In 2010, most holdouts capitulated. They did so on similar terms. Sustained economic growth followed. So did currency stabilization. Jobs were created. Unemployment fell. Exports increased. Investors returned. IMF debt was repaid. Debt restructuring and a devalued currency helped. Doing the right thing matters most. Troubled Eurozone countries can relieve their debt burdens the same way. Doing so lets them reclaim their sovereignty. Theyll be able to reissue their own currencies. They never should have abandoned them in the first place. Its not too late to go back.

1	Addressing a group of juniors assembled in the Calhoun High School student parking lot, area 16-year-old Kelly Jensen announced Monday that she hates her life, mom and hair 'big-time.' Hartford, CT, teen Kelly Jensen. 'My mom never lets me do anything. Life sucks,' said Jensen, leaning against the hood of her 1995 Volkswagen Jetta. 'And my hair is so flat.' According to inside Jensen sources, the teen first reported hating life in March 1993, when her mother refused to allow her to wear makeup to a school basketball game. Since then, she has repeatedly said that her life will be 'complete shit' until she finally moves out of the house for good. She has also frequently expressed a desire to be 18. 'Kelly appears to have a high level of anxiety and frustration, which typically stem from an inability to cope with home and school environments that totally suck,' said noted therapist and child psychology expert Dr. Eli Wasserbaum. Compounding her problems, Jensen suffers from a severe lack of privacy, sharing her home environment with younger brother Jeremy, a little dweeb, and parents Kenneth and Terri Jensen, who are on her back about every little thing constantly. 'No one ever leaves me alone, ever. God!' a teary-eyed Jensen said Tuesday, running upstairs to her bedroom. Minutes later, the sound of Stabbing Westward's Wither, Blister, Burn + Peel could be heard reverberating through the floor from the 16-disc CD changer in her bedroom. 'Often, people are simply unable to cope with the mental pressures that come with the loss of free will associated with an heavily monitored living situation,' said Grant DeVries, a behavioral sociologist with the Connecticut Department of Corrections. 'Kelly has expressed many times that living at home is totally like jail.' Jensen's hatred of her parents reached an all-time high last weekend, when she was forced to miss the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards to travel all the way to Aunt Jodie's house in Providence, RI, for a family gathering. Jensen spent the entire two-hour car ride in silence, save for a single declaration of, 'I'm sweating,' spoken through clenched teeth. Jensen's parents have attempted to address her various dislikes, which reportedly include church, her lame bicycle, 11 p.m. curfew, the family's inadequate basic cable package, and all fish-based foods except for breaded fish sticks. Among Jensen's parents' conciliatory efforts was a promise to install a second phone line in her bedroom if she is able to maintain a C average in algebra, an offer she rejected as 'total blackmail.' In addition to an unsatisfactory home environment, Jensen faces extreme boredom at school. Guidance counselor Janet Lancy is confident the problem can be resolved. 'Once Kelly finds an academic subject she enjoys, she will start to adopt a much more positive outlook,' Lancy said. 'Now we just need to come up with a subject for Kelly other than math and science, which are totally pointless and a waste; English and social studies, which are gay; computer science, which is for weirdos; and home ec which is so 1964.' Despite Lancy's confidence, many question whether there is an easy solution to the teen's boredom. 'Kelly is a complex, deeply conflicted person,' said Calhoun High bus driver Hal O'Connor, who drove Jensen to school all of last year. 'She would often say how she hated winter, but also expressed a dislike of the bright sun. She said her new Patagonia pullover was annoying to put on, but also said she couldn't stand jackets that zip up all retarded. We're talking about an extremely complicated individual here.' For now, Jensen's only means of coping with her 'huge nightmare of a life' are the daily phone conversations she has with her best friend, Erica King. With King she is able to freely discuss her hatred of her way-big size-eight feet, Crossgates Mall's annoying security guards, the family dog Shorty who hates her, geeks who ruin the curve, black-and-white movies, sharing a locker with one of the Dominic twins, mowing the lawn, and the swimming unit in gym class, which is 'so gay' that Jensen 'cannot even handle it.' In a failed attempt to hearten Jensen, King pointed out that at least her parents 'let her use the beach house whenever she wants.' Jensen sardonically replied, 'Big whooptie,' and held her middle finger up to the phone.

2	Michelle Obama In Panic Mode After Texas Does THIS Over her last two terms in the White House as First Lady, Michelle Obama has gained notoriety for spending hard earned tax dollars on lavish vacations and failed health programs. Perhaps the biggest embarrassment has been her school lunch program, where, in an attempt to have children eating healthy shes got schools serving tiny portions of nearly inedible foods. The program is so bad, that some states have decided to abandon it all togetherand Texas just joined that list. Were just saying if you want (a deep fryer), go get one, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller told the press. Were not going to mandate what you do. Miller feels strongly that the diet of children should be the responsibility of parents and teachers, not government. Beyond that, he acknowledged that Michelles approach is simply not working. Theres so many mandates on these schools and what they can do and cannot do, he continued, adding that the federal rules have compounded the problem instead of making it better. Besides affecting every day meals, it has limited the ability of students to host fundraising events to support extracurricular activities. Instead of blindly obeying Michelles demands, Miller has decided to introduce a program called Farm Fresh Friday. The program will help children learn about the food theyre eating by helping school cafeterias connect with local farmers to provide fresh food. What do you think of Millers approach? Is Michelle as bad as her husband? 
1	Citing the immense crowds gathered at rallies in Paris and scores of other cities across the globe, sources confirmed Sunday that the world has united in its common desire to have a little more time between terrorist attacks. Today, citizens from every corner of the world have come together in a spirit of solidarity to call for a slight increase in the number of days separating one deadly act of terrorism from the next, said French president Francois Hollande at a massive rally in his nations capital, giving voice to a sentiment felt by billions of individuals throughout the world with his declaration that, while an entire month without the ideologically driven murder of innocent civilians would be preferable, a respite of a mere week would definitely be appreciated at this point. Though we certainly dont expect to go a full year without this type of thing happening again, all of us stand as one in our belief that it would be nice to stretch out the downtime for at least a little longer than weve been experiencing lately. Honestly, even having 48 hours without a shocking act of violence in the name of some political or religious cause would be something we could work with. At press time, the worlds citizens decided to simply try and get the most out of this lull while it lasts. 
2	Obama Refuses To Meet With First Responders To San Bernardino Shooting When President Barack Obama had a stopover in San Bernardino, California recently, Obama made a point to visit the families of those killed in the recent terrorist attack. He did not bother, however, to meet with those who were wounded. According to reports, Obama spent Friday evening with the families of the 14 who lost their lives, making sure to document his visit with photos. He did not meet with the first responders or the 22 other citizens who were wounded in the attack. Which makes sense, because Obama had more important things to tend to he was on the way to his annual Christmas vacation in Hawaii. Obama has been widely criticized for his reaction to the attacks in general, using it as an opportunity to push his gun control agenda rather than to strengthen the forces protecting American citizens. San Bernardino Supervisor Curt Hagman claimed that the president was using the terror attack to promote his agenda on gun control. He also argued that the other victims also deserve the presidents time. What do you think? Are you tired of Obama putting on an act and pretending to care about the wellbeing of the American people? Its clear hes got other things on his agenda. Do we need a real leader in the White House? 
1	World-renowned news and opinion magazine The Economist announced plans to suspend any new online and print content for the next month in an effort to finally allow subscribers a chance to catch up. 'It's only fair to our readers,' said Economist editor Winthrop Parker, adding that there was no reason for subscribers to feel ashamed for not necessarily knowing every last detail about the current economic and geopolitical climate. 'Even just scanning over some of the feature stories can sometimes take two or three daily bus commutes to finish. After all, some of these issues have as many words in them as a short novel. No one should be expected to do that in one week.' In related news, ESPN The Magazine announced Monday it would be suspending publication indefinitely until its readers learned to read. 
3	10 Must Have Barter Skills to Survive in a Collapsed EconomyBy Anna Hunt If a major disaster or economic collapse immobilizes the existing banking system, ATMs will run out of cash very quickly, and your credit cards may stopworking. Communities will definitely go on, but the way society functions may be quitedifferent. People who have useful skills and items with which they can barter or trade are likely to benefit, perhaps even thrive. Beloware some ideas of which valuable skills to develop to increase your ability to survive and have something to trade if you find yourself in a barter-friendly world. Being able to share your skills and knowledge with other people alsocarries a high barter value. Knowinghow to grow your own food isessential for survival. In case of a short-term disaster, a few buckets of emergency storable food may be sufficient, but if you find yourself in a situation where food is limited over a longer term, knowing how to garden is a must. The best way to start gardening is to begin with small projects, like an indoor herb garden, a few containers or a coupleraised beds. You may be surprised just how many low-cost resources are available to help you along the way. Some of my favorites have beenEasy Container GardeningandGardening: A Beginners Guide. Just get your feet wet and start learning. Over time, your garden will expand as does your skill-set, and you may become interested in learning other gardening skills, such as building a low-cost greenhouse orpermaculture design, which will make your knowledgeeven more trade worthy. Knowing how to properly harvest, store and sow seeds is one of the fundamentals of successful gardening. Seeds (and of coursethe food you can grow)can become excellent items for barter. Check outthe video below to get you thinking about how to harvest and save the seeds from your garden. Food is a necessity with a very short lifespan, so during any disaster or societal disruption, the majority of people will need food. Learning specific skills involving food processing and preservation can help you take advantage of seasonal abundance so you can enjoy/sell/barter food products during off seasons and winter months. Furthermore, knowledge aboutfood preservation methods that use minimal to no electricity, such as smoking, salt curing, pickling and dehydration, are likely to hold high value in a post economic collapse economy. Even without societal disruption, creating preserved food productscan become a great way to earn an income. Knowing how to prepare food without abundant electricity, such as on a wood-burning stove or fire, is an important skillif faced with a natural disaster. We are so accustomed to using electricity driven appliances, we forget that there are methods for cooking food in sun ovens or in outdoor fire pits, which can be just as effective. Knowledge about edible plants is not only a great hobby for avid hikers and backpackers but can be a valuable survival skill. You may be surprised by just how many plants around your neighborhood can be eaten or have beneficialmedicinal properties. Learning how to identify these plants is a skill that you can perfect with a detailed guide book. Such a book is also a good resource to add to your survival library. In ourmodern lifestyle,all foods are alreadypackaged and perfectly displayed at your local grocers counter. But having the proper training and gear to hunt and fish, as well as clean what you catch, can be priceless. Having tools such as bows, slingshots, knives and spears, and knowing how to use them, would give you the ability to barter during any event that may hinder modern civilization. Other important skills when it comes to food include knowing how to raise and take care of small farm animals. If people dont have access to a steady supply of food, they will once again turn to small local food producers you! for their favorite foods. Check outYour Farm in the City to get started. You dont need the skills of a home builder, electrician or master wood worker to become a valuable asset to people in your community by offering handy work and helping with small construction projects around the home. In addition to learninghow to fix common household problems, such as a broken toilet, you can learn specific survival skills such as how to construct a water collection system, how to build a sun dehydrator, etc. Tool collection isnt really a skill, but tools are great barter items. Garden tools and supplies, as well asother tools, such as axes, hammers, saw blades, etc., are valuable assets. They can become real money if you find yourself is a post-disaster situation. Garage sales are great places to look for bargains on tools, allowing you tostock up. When the time comes, you will have what you need to be more self-sustainable,and you can loan or trade items in exchange for products and services. Every household can benefit from a good quality water filter, both for the home and for the bug-out bag. But even with a good water filter, obtaining clean water may not be a simple task if you do not have conventional water delivery service. When clean water is more difficult to come by, especially if your home or community arefaced with no municipal water delivery or no electricity to pump well water, water collection, purification and proper storage will become important. In addition to understanding what makes for effective watercollection and storage, you can stock up on supplies to build water collection systems. Even a stockpile of small items,such as water purification tablets, may prove invaluable. Like Offgrid Outpost on Facebook.Follow Offgrid Outpost on Twitter.

Otherwise, barter is ok, but has the problem of shelf life for products, the do I need it now? question, and will the guy I just traded with still be in business when I am ready to redeem this certificate?. Stock-piling a few silver-content pre-1965 dimes and quarters are the best way to hedge. Who cares of banks dont honor their real value? Hopefully this collapse you envision will take the FR system out with it. 
3	New Fake HIV Test to Target Poor (Updated with Response from Quest Diagnostics Requesting Correction)Editors Note: We are moving this topic to our Forum in an effort to invite both sides to continue this discussion. You can view the updated article by Clark Baker, including the demand for correction HERE Halloween what better time for pharmaceutical companies to create a new HIV test that doesnt detect HIV but generates fear and profits? The Daily Mail (UK), Fox News and other agencies report that scientists at Imperial College in London have developed a new HIV test that is 10 times more sensitive and a fraction of the cost of current methods. The test uses nanotechnology to give a result that can be seen with the naked eye by turning a sample red or blue. Research leader Molly Stevens, said: Our approach affords for improved sensitivity, does not require sophisticated instrumentation and it is ten times cheaper We would be able to detect infection even in those cases where previous methods, such as the saliva test, were rendering a false negative because the viral load was too low to be detected, Stevens said, after the research was published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. A closer look at the report reveals a critical flaw: The fact that dozens if not HUNDREDS of co-factors unrelated to HIV produce common proteins like P24, which means that this new test detects a protein produced by millions of healthy people who are not at any risk of ever becoming infected with HIV. So like almost all other HIV tests on the market today, healthy people and incompetent clinicians who use this test without reading the package insert will be fooled into believing that they are infected with HIV when their blood simply contains a commonly found protein that doesnt prove that HIV can be found in their blood. This strategy would seem implausibleexcept that since 2009 the pharmaceutical industry has paid $10 billion to settle thousands of criminal and civil complaints related to the illegal marketing of drugs that kill or injure 2-4 million Americans, ANNUALLY paying millions of dollars in kickbacks and bribes to clinicians that unnecessarily prescribe deadly drugs to healthy patients. The leading US HIV testing laboratories Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp have paid millions of dollars in fines for fraud and using testing devices that the FDA has never approved to diagnose HIV. This test isjust more of the same. For more information about HIV tests that do not detect HIV, see also: Clark Baker is the director of the Office of Medical and Scientific Justice (OMSJ).

2	Muslims Everywhere Furious After They Receive News That No Mosque Will Be Built At Ground Zero In the past few years, Americans have been blinded to the dangers of Islamic extremism in an attempt to be politically correct. This is in large part due to September 11, which allows Muslims living in America to open up the conversation about discrimination. In the last few years, theyve been given high-ranking roles in our government. This is best represented by an ongoing battle over whether or not it is appropriate to open a Mosque close to where the Twin Towers used to stand, before they were taken down by 19 Islamic jihadists. Now, it appears that the Muslim group pushing the construction has officially been defeated. But there are sure to be many similar battles in the future. Lets not forget that being wary of Islamic extremism is not racism. Muslim is not a race to begin with, and there are many aspects of Islam that directly conflict with American law and values. What do you think? Do you support the decision to deny construction of the mosque? 
2	Muslim Do Something Horrible To Graves Of Fallen Soldiers In The Name Of Shariah [VIDEO] Sometimes we see video so shocking that we dont know how to process it. Such is the case with this video clip, showing a group of radical Muslims walking through a cemetery and kicking down the tombstones for fallen British soldiers. These actions come from a group that claims to support a religion of peace. As the men walk through the Commonwealth War Graves in Benghazi, Libya, they were caught on tape violently destroying the tombstones of the fallen soldiers. Some of the tombs destroyed were over 70 years old. Whats worseyou can hear the thugs laughing as they commit the act. Watch the video below and tell us what you think. How should these men be punished? 
1	Following the conviction Wednesday of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on all 30 charges related to the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, the United States populace allowed itself to celebrate for several moments before returning to the horrifying reality of ongoing violent extremism. Right now, Im just going to pull up the article Tsarnaev Guilty On All Charges, put up a triumphant Facebook post, and forget about the fact that religious extremists are a growing global threat bent on bringing death to innocent civilians by the most gruesome means possible, said Massachusetts resident Lou Ramirez after discussing with several coworkers how the 21-year-old Tsarnaev might now face capital punishment, a little treat he says hes giving himself before returning to the understanding that thousands of radicalized young people are, at this moment, pledging their lives to the Islamic State, traveling across the world to join their ranks, and fighting a violent holy war that has killed countless thousands. In a half hour or so, I can go back to considering the paralyzing reality that the most powerful nations on earth seem helpless to prevent rogue domestic attacks like those in Paris and Sydney, and are struggling to contain ISIS, Boko Haram, and dozens of other fundamentalist groups, all of which seek the wholesale slaughter of those who dont agree with their strict interpretations of religious law. But until then, Im just going to text Got him! to my friends and be happy this guy is behind bars. At press time, the American people decided to give themselves an extra two minutes to run down the list of Tsarnaevs convictions before glancing over at the latest headlines coming out of Kenya. 
1	In a move IBM officials are hailing as a major step in the companys ongoing worldwide telecommunications revolution, Mwana Ndeti, a member of Zaires Bantu tribe, used an IBM global uplink network modem yesterday to crush a nut. Ndeti, who spent 20 minutes trying to open the nut by hand, easily cracked it open by smashing it repeatedly with the powerful modem. I could not crush the nut by myself, said the 47-year-old Ndeti, who added the savory nut to a thick, peanut-based soup minutes later. With IBMs help, I was able to break it. Ndeti discovered the nut-breaking, 28.8 V.34 modem yesterday, when IBM was shooting a commercial in his southwestern Zaire village. During a break in shooting, which shows African villagers eagerly teleconferencing via computer with Japanese schoolchildren, Ndeti snuck onto the set and took the modem, which he believed would serve well as a smashing utensil. Just after Ndeti shattered the nut, a 200-person Southern Baptist gospel choir, on hand for the taping of the IBM commercial, broke out into raucous, joyous song in celebration of the tribesmans accomplishment. IBM officials were not surprised the longtime computer giant was able to provide Ndeti with practical solutions to his everyday problems. Our telecommunications systems offer people all over the world global networking solutions that fit their specific needs, said Herbert Ross, IBMs director of marketing. Whether youre a nun cloistered in an Italian abbey or an Aborigine in Australias Great Sandy Desert, IBM has the ideas to get you where you want to go today. According to Ndeti, of the modems many powerful features, most impressive was its hard plastic casing, which easily sustained several minutes of vigorous pounding against a large stone. I put the nut on a rock, and I hit it with the modem, Ndeti said. The modem did not break. It is a good modem. Ndeti was so impressed with the modem that he purchased a new, state-of-the-art IBM workstation, complete with a PowerPC 601 microprocessor, a quad-speed internal CD-ROM drive and three 16-bit ethernet networking connectors. The tribesman has already made good use of the computer system, fashioning a gazelle trap out of its wires, a boat anchor out of the monitor and a crude but effective weapon from its mouse. This is a good computer, said Ndeti, carving up a just-captured gazelle with the computers flat, sharp internal processing device. I am using every part of it. I will cook this gazelle on the keyboard. Hours later, Ndeti capped off his delicious gazelle dinner by smoking the computers 200-page owners manual. IBM spokespeople praised Ndetis choice of computers. We are pleased that the Bantu people are turning to IBM for their business needs, said company CEO William Allaire. From Kansas City to Kinshasa, IBM is bringing the world closer together. Our cutting-edge technology is truly creating a global village. The Bantu tribesmen are members of an ever-growing, international community of users who have turned to IBM to solve their networking needs. Jean-Claude DuMont, a goatherder from the French region of Brittany who is working on an Indiana University Ph.D. in biology via internet, recently looked into IBMs new computer-satellite data uplink, which offers instant access to all library files worldwide. With IBMs new uplink service, I can access any file I want, any time I want, DuMont told fellow goatherder Pierre Valmont during a recent walk through a rye field. I can even find out how many points Michael Jordan scored last night. Responded Valmont: Radical. 
3	How the Govt Used the NY Bombing to Convert Millions of Citizens into Spies Literally OvernightBy Claire Bernish This is not to downplay the severity of injuries to the public or the panic and fresh insecurity witnesses undoubtedly felt, but to avoid governmental manipulation of fear incidentally a classic tool of fascist regimes seeking greater control of their citizenry perspective is imperative. An examination of events and reactions from politicians and the authorities over the last few days already evidences the knee-jerk response to crack down on farcically-nebulous terrorism, as has been typical in the years following the attacks of 9/11. This weekends attacks, however, brought a telling portent about the governments intent to twist the publics anxiety but those plans should stoke alarm far beyond the altogether remote possibility of more attacks. At 9:30 a.m. Saturday, as runners prepared to participate in the annual Marine Semper Five charity race in Seaside Park, New Jersey, a pipe bomb suddenly exploded in a trash can along the route thankfully injuring no one, but forcing cancellation of the event. Two additional pipe bombs in the same vessel fortunately failed to detonate. Federal authorities swiftly arrived on scene to seek out any additional devices and investigate the matter. It makes me very angry that this could happen in a sleepy little town like Seaside Park after Labor Day, nearby Toms River resident Adam Carswell told a local NBC affiliate, according to the New York Daily News. Then, around 8:15 p.m. in St. Cloud, Minnesota, a man described by corporate media as both wearing a security guard uniform and a security guard began indiscriminately stabbing people inside a shopping mall, after reportedly asking his first victim if he were Muslim. Ten people were wounded by the man later identified by authorities as 22-year-old Dahir Adan though none of the injuries would prove fatal. An off-duty cop did, however, fatally shoot the attacker. Friends of Adan expressed shock and confusion he could be responsible for what the FBI is investigating as a possible act of terror. As the New York Times described, he was the son of Somali refugees, he lived in the United States most of his life, did well in school, played sports, worked as a security guard and took classes at a local college. Those in regular contact with Adan insisted he showed no signs of having become radicalized, despite reports from the terrorist group of the same name claiming he was a soldier of the Islamic State. In fact, local leaders in the Somali community flatly doubt the young man could even have perpetrated such a heinous crime, as executive director of the Saint Cloud Area Somali Salvation Organization, Mohamoud Ismail Mohamed, explained, until police release video footage of the attack, we cannot believe the speculation we hear. According to unnamed sources cited by the Times, who ostensibly know Adans family, on Saturday he seemed to be in good spirits and said he was going to the mall to buy a new iPhone. On social media, friends tried to understand what had happened, echoing, as one person tweeted, He was a sweet humble guy, and thats still how I see him. Just over 24 hours after unexplained events in Minnesota, an explosion in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City shattered windows and sent shrapnel flying, injuring at least 29 people, though, again, none fatally. Investigators later described a pressure-cooker and cellphone improvised device similar to that used at the Boston Marathon in 2013 as responsible for the blast. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio promptly announced there was every reason to believe this was an act of terror despite the nascent investigation. A similar explosive device was discovered three hours later just four blocks from the first, though it inexplicably failed to detonate. Not long after that explosion, authorities in Elizabeth, New Jersey, were alerted to a backpack with suspicious contents by two homeless men who discovered the bag sitting on a garbage can and worried it could be a bomb. Law enforcement used a robot to investigate, and around 12:40 a.m., the device unintentionally exploded. Authorities worked astonishingly quickly to identify a person of interest in the New York and New Jersey incidents but how they spread the information is indicative of a Kafkaesque dark turn in the United States dubious war on purposely-nebulous terror. For what is believed to be the first time, the Times wrote, the nations Wireless Emergency Alerts system was deployed as an electronic wanted poster, identifying a 28-year-old man sought in connection with the bombings in Manhattan and New Jersey over the weekend. WANTED: Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28-yr-old male. See media for pic. Call 9-1-1 if seen, stated the alert. Instantaneously, millions became Big Governments unwitting spies enlisted without warning in a manhunt for a suspect now inextricably linked to the explosions, regardless of actual guilt before completion of a thorough investigation, much less an actual jury trial. Officials decided on the language of the alert and approved its dissemination in just 15 minutes, and issued the dubious message at 7:57 a.m. Considering the success of years instilling xenophobic fear in the citizenry, the electronic widespread plastering of Rahamis name and face as Suspect Number One could as facilely painted a target on his forehead. Or perhaps that was the idea. Either way, authorities apprehended Rahami following a shootout in which several officers were wounded, after a worker discovered him sleeping in the doorway of a bar in Linden, New Jersey. Ironically, the worker didnt recognize the man as the armed and dangerous subject of the massive manhunt, rather alerted authorities to a possible vagrant. Responding officers roused the sleeping man, quickly recognizing he looked similar to the suspect in pervasive alerts. Ordered to show his hands, Rahami instead brandished a gun and shot the officer in the abdomen, hitting his bulletproof vest, Linden Police Capt. James Sarnicki told reporters. Rahami continued firing as he fled the scene, but was taken into custody after being wounded. Rahami might be the luckiest person in the country both because he escaped death at the hands of police after actively shooting at them, but, more pertinently, because authorities not a petrified, Islamophobic propaganda-believing citizen affected his capture. Concerns about the breakthrough use of the Emergency Alerts System have been unfortunately underreported and downplayed in favor of the premise of added security against errant terrorists it supposedly will now provide. This is a tool we will use again in the future, Mayor de Blasio asserted adamantly during a press conference. No more wanted posters on the precinct house wall. This is a modern approach that really engaged a whole community. His assertion, of course, failed to add whether or not they approve of this use or desire to become the States citizen-spies. Beyond crafting guilt for one person before its been proven, the alert exposed several additional disturbing flaws. It was very troublesome, Bandana Kar, a professor of geography at the University of Southern Mississippi who has studied the alert system, told the Times. The alert was very unspecific and open-ended. Advising people to blindly turn to media for a picture of the man trusts that they will, but issuing his name, which sounds obviously Middle Eastern during a time of heightened xenophobia and bigotry put countless others in peril. By encouraging people to go to the media to look at a picture, what if someone had identified the wrong person? Kar added. Misidentification an issue so common, eyewitness accounts arent necessarily weighted in court testimony could easily have cost a wholly innocent person their life. Today, brown guys like me are walking around worrying about the threat of terrorism like everyone else, Brooklyn resident Shuja Haider told the Times. But were also worried about being blamed for it. Already, additional police have been deployed in the locations of the attacks and politicians have called for increased or improved surveillance programs and powers. After the first test of forcibly roping an entire city into hunting for an alleged criminal, however, it appears the surveillance state just commanded its biggest opportunity to date hundreds of millions of captive and terrified proxy employees.

1	Saying that he was having difficulty selecting just one item among all the available options up for bidding, local 34-year-old Carl Aldrich expressed his frustration Wednesday while attempting to narrow down the vast selection of Super Bowl rings currently listed on eBay. I only want to buy one, but there are just so many to choose from, Aldrich told reporters, noting that he was deciding between making an opening bid on various championship rings from the 1980 Oakland Raiders and the 1991 Washington Redskins, as well as more than two dozen from the 1972 Miami Dolphins. It looks like there are a bunch available from the first Super BowlI dont have any of those yet. And I guess I could always buy this one that DSharper42 is selling, but Ive got so many from the 09 Saints already. At press time, Aldrich had decided to just bid for two separate Super Bowl rings from the 1985 Chicago Bears, as he could likely win both auctions while still remaining under his budget of $500. 
1	Steelers linebacker James Harrison is participating in prolonged closed-door meetings with team management, including coach Mike Tomlin and team owner Dan Rooney, over the path a man must walk in life, particularly if he is to be a hero to his son. 'James is confident in his abilities as a player, but the Steelers must understand that he wants to be the kind of man his son would want to be in turn,' Harrison's agent Bill Parise told reporters Tuesday. 'It's a deeply complex issue, but I think Mr. Rooney agrees with James in principle about standing up for yourself and just wants him to be a bit more realistic about the nature of masculinity and a man's expectations for his children in an increasingly complex world.' Harrison and the Steelers are currently deliberating over a clause in Rudyard Kipling's manhood-advice poem 'If' that would require Harrison and his offspring to 'meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same.' 
3	How Big Banks Can Steal Your Home From You Even If Your Mortgage Is Totally Paid OffMichael Snyder As you will see below, one 76-year-old man lost his $197,000 home that he fully owned over a $134 tax bill. A 95-year-old woman lost her $300,000 home over a $44.79 tax bill. This is a very, very dirty way to make money, and the predatory financial institutions that are involved in this business definitely do not want to talk about it. Of course much of the blame should also be shouldered by the local governments that are coldly selling these tax liens to these ruthless predators. If local governments want to collect their tax bills, they should do it themselves. They should not be auctioning off their tax liens to cold-hearted financial institutions that are very eager to commit a legal version of highway robbery. A few days ago,the Washington Post reported on the tragic story of a 76-year-old former Marine named Bennie Coleman. Coleman had originally purchased his home with cash, but that didnt stop tax lien predators from stealing his home over an unpaid $134 property tax bill On the day Bennie Coleman lost his house, the day armed U.S. marshals came to his door and ordered him off the property, he slumped in a folding chair across the street and watched the vestiges of his 76 years hauled to the curb. Movers carted out his easy chair, his clothes, his television. Next came the things that were closest to his heart: his Marine Corps medals and photographs of his dead wife, Martha. The duplex in Northeast Washington that Coleman bought with cash two decades earlier was emptied and shuttered. By sundown, he had nowhere to go. Well, as the Post explained, these big banks and hedge funds keep tacking on interest, penalties and legal fees until the tax bills are many times the size that they originally were. When the distressed homeowners cant come up with thousands of dollars to pay off the debts, the big banks and the hedge funds move in for the kill For decades, the District placed liens on properties when homeowners failed to pay their bills, then sold those liens at public auctions to mom-and-pop investors who drew a profit by charging owners interest on top of the tax debt until the money was repaid. But under the watch of local leaders, the program has morphed into a predatory system of debt collection for well-financed, out-of-town companies that turned $500 delinquencies into $5,000 debts then foreclosed on homes when families couldnt pay, a Washington Post investigation found. In particular, hedge funds have discovered that this is a great way to make huge piles of money. The following is a short excerpt from a CNN article that was published back in May With buyers identified only by numbers or unrelated names, the fragmented, unregulated industry is opaque. Even the markets size is debated $15 billion a year, according to Howard Liggett, the chief executive of Distressed Real Estate Consulting Services, or $5 billion a year, according to the National Tax Lien Association, a trade group. While returns are a closely kept secret, investors typically make between 2.5% and 10% a year, or in the low teens for larger buys. The hedge funds are chasing yield in this business says Albert Friedman, a principal at Alterna Capital, an alternative investment firm in Boca Raton that buys tax liens. Insiders estimate hedge funds now control 40% of the tax-lien market, from under 5% five years ago, with regional banks, obscure partnerships sporting names like Gods ATM LLC, and mom-and-pop investors making up the rest. And a number of too big to fail banks are involved in this business as well. In a previous article, I described exactly how this works 1) The big Wall Street banks set up or invest in shell companies that will disguise who they really are. 2) These shell companies run around and buy up all of the tax liens that they can get their hands on. 3) Predatory levels of interest (in some states as high as 18 percent), fees and penalties rapidly pile up on these unpaid tax liens. Theaffected homeowners quickly end up owing much, much more than what the original tax bills were for. 4) If the collecting firm has to hire a lawyer, then that gets charged to the homeowner as well. Thebloated legal fees for some of these lawyers can end up being the biggest expense of all. 5) If the tax liens do not get paid, the collecting firms move in to foreclose as quickly as legally possible. According to the Huffington Post,Wall Street banks such as Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase havebeen gobbling upseveral hundred thousand tax liens from local governments. It appears that distressed housing markets are being particularly targeted. Many of these tax liens are sold in online auctions, so it is unclear if many local government officials even realize who the big money behind many of these shell companies is. These big financial institutions may consider this to be good business, but the truth is that they are absolutely shattering lives in the process. This is particularly true when it comes to older people that do not fully understand what is happening to them. Just consider the following examples from a recent Washington Post article A 48-year-old math teacher paid his taxes in 2007, but the tax office took his $1,400 payment and applied it to the wrong house, crediting an entirely different taxpayer. A 58-year-old bank employee almost lost her house in 2010 because the tax office mistakenly sent bills and notices to a wooded lot across from a strip shopping center in Virginia 12 times. A 69-year-old hat designer was given the wrong payoff amount and ended up in court to save her property, owned by her family since 1943. Those homeowners found out about the mistakes in time to fight. Ninety-five-year-old Daisy Dolsey, living in a nursing home and struggling with Alzheimers, wasnt so lucky: She lost her $300,000 house over a $44.79 tax debt even after she paid her taxes. Doesnt that just sicken you? And then the big banks and the hedge funds have the gall to wonder why people dislike them so much. In this day and age, large financial institutions have become more cold-hearted than ever before. Always make sure that your property taxes are fully paid, and always keep a paper record of all financial transactions involving your home. If you do slip up and make a mistake at some point, there is a very good chance that a ruthless financial institution will try to swoop in and steal your home right out from under your nose.

1	Calling the process essential to preventing overgrowth and promoting renewal, a study released Tuesday by researchers at American University found that regular, controlled Washington, D.C. wildfires are crucial to the restoration of a healthy political environment. Periodic blazes that destroy sections of the Beltway region are a natural part of the political cycle and play a key role in maintaining democratic balance, read the study in part, which explained that occasional wildfires of mild to moderate intensity are the most important and effective mechanism for clearing out old federal agencies so that new ones can take their place and flourish. Although such fires are often considered a hazard, without them government would quickly become dense, overrun, and impenetrable, stifling political diversity and inhibiting the germination of new ideas. In fact, had the Great Washington Fire of 1964 not provided them with room to grow, the Departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development would never have been able to take root and thrive. The study concluded that attempts to suppress the wildfires would likely only lead to the occurrence of far more powerful blazes in the future capable of causing significant, permanent damage to the governments branches. 
1	Despite the surprising coincidence of finding a perfectly formed swastika amidst the broken girders of the Twin Towers, 9/11 memorial curators have opted not to display the symbol, choosing instead to leave it in the storage facility where it has been located for the past 10 years. 'On the one hand, it's pretty miraculous that there was a precisely shaped 80-by-80-foot swastika found in the rubble of the fallen World Trade Center, but in the end, we decided not to include it in our plans for the museum,' said memorial spokesman Stanley Morgenstern, adding that it would probably be seen as inappropriate. 'Although you've got to admit that it is pretty incredible. Mathematically, what are the odds? It's amazing but, perhaps, not right for what we are trying to achieve with the museum.' Upon hearing the news, neo-Nazi groups have complained about the exclusion, arguing that the giant swastika is 'a sign from heaven' and that '9/11 affected all Americans, including those who believe in the inherent genetic superiority of the Aryan race.'

3	Turkey and Ukraine Prepare Terrorist Brigades Aimed At RussiaBy Brandon Turbeville On August 1-2, a meeting was convened at the Hotel Billkent in Ankara, Turkey labeled the Second World Congress of the Tatars. This meeting brought together over 200 Tatar NGOs and associations from all over the world. The event was also attended by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin and Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus. Both officials participated in the event as well. As Zaman reports, Nearly 200 Crimean Tatar nongovernmental organizations and civil society groups gathered in Ankara as part of the Second World Crimean Tatar Congress to discuss the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the situation of their brethren in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in February of last year. The meeting took place on Saturday at Ankara Bilkent Hotel and Congress Center and focused on the dire conditions under which Crimean Tatars have to live in the face of encroaching Russian pressure on their cultural life. The gathering offered an opportunity for lengthy discussions about how to resolve the prolonged conflict in Ukraine and to maintain Tatars threatened community rights under the new administration in Crimea. But, while Russia and the annexation of Crimea were the focus of the meeting, a foolish and potentially dangerous decision was made between Ukraine and Turkey. At the meeting, it was announced by Mustafa Abdulcemil Cemiloglu, acting leader of the Crimean Tatars as decreed by Ukrainian President Poroshenko, the creation of a Muslim Brigade to oppose Crimean separatism, as well as human trafficking and the transportation of goods near conflict zones. In other words, the creation of a terrorist brigade to combat Russian involvement in Crimea and pro-Russian sentiment and activism in the area. It should be noted that Cemiloglu was a notorious CIA asset and collaborator throughout the years of the Reagan Administration. He was also the former leader of the Crimea Tatar Majlis. After the announcement was made by Cemiloglu, he was received by Turkish Recep Erdogan, who assured him of Turkeys full support for the Tatars against Russia. Turkey has been vocal about the territorial integrity of Ukraine and has, like the rest of NATO, taken a strong anti-Russian stance on the issue of Ukraine. The Muslim Brigade will apparently be based at Herson, near the Crimean border and will include volunteers and jihadists from a number of other locations in the region Tatarstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Chechnya, and Georgia. Turkey will not be left out of the mix, however, since it will be committing a number of the jihadists currently operating within its own borders for the purposes of destroying the government of Syria to the new Muslim Brigade in Ukraine. Indeed, in December 2013, Turkish intelligence sent a number of Tatar jihadists to Ukraine so they would be able to assist the Western color revolution in Kiev where the terrorists acted as security for pro-European and anti-Russian protests in the Maidan, often suspected of being the culprits behind a number of violent acts resulting in the violent crackdown by police. As the Voltaire Network reported in its article Jihadists In Charge of Crowd Control In Kiev Protests, They are members of the Azatlyk (freedom) movement led by young Nal Nabiullin, and campaign for a Greater Turkey. They are backed by Trotskyist parties such as the Russian Left Front of Sergei Udaltsov, as well as the Turkish government of Recep Tayyip Erdoan. Theyve just come back from Syria, through Turkey, where they had gone to practice jihad against the Syrian government. They seem to be behind the provocations that have led the Riot Police to commit excesses. With this in mind, it is very concerning that Turkey and Ukraine are moving towards greater provocations against Russia this time using jihadist terrorists on and inside Russian borders. Such moves clearly increase the likelihood that Russia will be forced to engage NATO and its proxies in a direct military fashion at some point. After all, color revolutions, if caught early, can be eliminated by removing the NGOs and Foundations responsible for organizing the golden youth but repeated acts of suicidal terrorism must be cut off at the source or it will continue to take place indefinitely. If Russia finds itself surrounded by US/NATO military bases and missile systems while, at the same time, being faced with economic warfare and sanctions, it may view its current position of non-intervention as untenable when faced with cross-border terrorist attacks openly supported by NATO countries. Indeed, it appears that Vladmir Putin is already well aware of the attempts by NATO and Turkey in particular to use terrorism against Russia inside the Russian borders. According to a report by Press TV, in recent visit to the Crimea, Putin stated Its obvious that a risk remains from outside forces to destabilize the situation on the [Crimean] peninsula in one way or another. In certain capitals they talk openly about the need to carry out subversive activities. Personnel are being recruited and trained to carry out subversion, acts of sabotage to conduct radical propaganda. Turkeys move also bolsters the assertions made by others such as Webster Tarpley that the Turkish bombing of ISIS in the rare instances where ISIS forces are actually targeted is nothing more than an attempt to push some ISIS forces East towards Iran and, eventually, Russia. Increasing tensions between the United States, NATO and Russia over Syria, Iran, Ukraine, and the current sanctions can only be increased further by Turkeys support of terrorism aimed at Russia. Erdogans fantasies of becoming the next Ottoman emperor have apparently become so great that he believes challenging Russia is a legitimate means to this end. It is time for both Erdogan and the rest of the Western world to realize the folly of these attempts and to immediately back off of further provocation.

2	BREAKING: Obama Recieves Devastating News About Jade Helm Well, it looks like Operation Jade Helm is not going to move forward without a fight, despite the relentless efforts of the Obama Administration. Since the plans for the military exercise was first announced, Americans throughout the country have expressed their concerns. Some theorize that the exercise is a practice run for martial law. Others are concerned that it opens a dangerous gate to losing their rights. Perhaps the most vocal of all in their concerns has been the state of Texas. Just last week, Texas leaders came forward to make it clear that they are not comfortable with the exercise being conducted in their state. Now, a group of Texans have formed a movement called Counter Jade Helm. The group is made up of former men and women in uniform as well as concerned civilians. Its purpose is to keep tabs on the exercise. If a team member sees two Humvees full of soldiers driving through town, theyre going to follow them Eric Johnston, the 51-year-old leader of the Texas surveillance division of the group told reporters. And theyre going to radio back their ultimate location. Were going to be watching what they do in the public, Pete Lanteri, a former Marine, added. Obviously on a military base they can do whatever they want. But if theyre going to train on public land we have a right as American citizens to watch what theyre doing. What do you think of Counter Jade Helm? Do you support the group?

Reports indicate that the network does not intend to renew her $1 million/year contract. Palin has been with the network for more than five years, and has proven that she is not afraid to speak out against the Obama Administration. She quickly drove enough ratings to earn the position as the highest-paid Fox News contributor. According to sources, executives at Fox News have started to consider her less relevant. She maintains a multi-million person following on Facebook, and has recently reached 1.15 million followers on Twitter as well. I didnt get into government to do the safe and easy things, Palin commented. A ship in a harbor is safe but thats not why the ship is built. Perhaps one of the most memorable comments coming from Sarah Palin was her remarks about the administration. We sometimes get the feeling that this administration hates true Americansthe type of American who came here and built this country, not the type who sat back on welfare handouts, Palin once said. The Obama administration keeps rewarding these same types of people while average Americans are told that their country is no longer Christian. What do you think? Do you support Sarah Palin? Will you continue to follow her even after she leaves Fox? 
1	The Labor Department reported Monday that the U.S. economy created a staggering 4 million jobs in October, though government officials hastened to add that the new positions are all located in the St. Louis metropolitan area. 'New employment opportunities are emerging in the fields of engineering, medicine, and manufacturing, but, to be clear, one would have to move to and live in St. Louis to fill these openings,' said government spokesperson Stephanie Bergsen, noting that the city has a high crime rate and not much in the way of culture, so be sure to take that into consideration. 'Though this much- needed job growth would bring our unemployment rate down to a far more manageable six and a half percent, at the end of the day, it's St. Louis, so' Republicans strategists are reportedly already planning to use President Obama's record of creating 4 million jobs in St. Louis as the basis for numerous attack ads.

2	What Geraldo Rivera Just Said About Women May Get Him Fired From FOX Recently, Geraldo Rivera made some controversial topics on Fox News show Outnumbered, which has him in some serious hot water. While discussing what 20-somethings are really looking for in a marriage, the segment began to discuss beta marriages. Beta marriages are a union that can be formalized or dissolved after a two-year trial period, without the need for paperwork. They are designed to give partners the chance to determine whether they can withstand a long-term commitment. Rivera has been divorced four times, and his recent marriage is just 11 years old. Still, he claimed that he is against beta marriages, and used his daughters for a reason why. According to Rivera, the most important thing a woman brings to a marriage is her youth. What I think a woman brings to a marriage more than anything else, to a relationship, is her youth, Rivera claimed. Her youth is a fragile and diminishing resource. So if women were to invest two years in one of these marriages, and then to be rejected by the man, I think that she has given up a valuable asset that is unequal in other words, the man gets everything and the woman gets nothing from this arrangement. While the four female hosts of the show were clearly confused by the response, and Twitter users called the comments sexist and weird, others showed support for the statement. Still, Rivera stands by his comments, and even tweeted Age weighs unequally on the sexes. Time is money ladies, a precious asset. What do you think of Riveras comments?

1	SUNNYVALE, CAHoping it will push them to the top of an increasingly competitive market, Internet portal Yahoo has added soul-search capabilities to its expanding line of search tools, company executives announced Monday. 'Capable of navigating the billions of thoughts, experiences, and emotions that make up the human psyche, the new Yahoo soul-search engine helps users find what's deep inside them quickly and easily,' Yahoo CEO Terry Semel said. 'All those long, difficult nights of pondering your place in this world are a thing of the past.' Yahoo's main competitor recently introduced two new advanced search functions: Google Local, which highlights search results from a specific geographic area, and Google Personalized Search, which allows users to create a profile of their interests to influence search results. But Semel called Yahoo's new search function 'vastly more precise.' 'As the amount of information on the web increases, individuals want a search engine to provide them with results that are personally meaningful,' Semel said. 'Enter the Yahoo Soul Searcha powerful new tool that reveals what's deep inside your heart, using the user-friendly interface already familiar to Yahoo fans.' In the past, a soul search was a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, Semel said. 'A soul search often required backpacking trips across Europe, disastrous long-term relationships with incompatible lovers, and years of expensive therapy,' Semel said. 'Worse, the search process often included depression, lowered self-worth, and intense doubt.' Semel called the old way of seeking clarity 'a logistical nightmare.' 'Each question you asked yourself seemed to have a thousand possible answers,' Semel said. 'That's why we designed a way to order returns by relevance and separate them into categories like 'religion' and 'sexuality.' After using the Yahoo soul-search engine, conducting the self-examination process without a computer will seem as ridiculous as doing accounting in old-fashioned ledger books.' A page generated by Yahoo's new soul-search engine. The new search function is even customizable. Users can set their search to plumb their souls at varying depths, to make shallow discoveries or life-changing ones. They can also adjust their security preferences to protect themselves from the dangers of baring their naked souls to the world, and parental controls can be enabled in order to prevent children from looking inside themselves. The new service is also hot-linked to the pre-existing Yahoo networkinstantly leading the soul-searcher to pertinent information on HotJobs, Yahoo! Shopping, and Yahoo! Travelmaking it possible for users to reconfigure their entire lives with one easy soul search. Although soul searching online personal ads is not presently an option, Yahoo is developing a search engine which will allow its estimated 300 million users to find their one true soulmate. Semel admits that the soul, while eminently searchable, is far from easy to navigate. There are still dangers in the form of self-deception, the soul-to-soul transmittable 'D-spair' virus, and the numerous pop-up ads offering quick-fix solutions to the user's problems. 'There are bound to be some bugs, but we're not too worried,' Semel said. 'We at Yahoo have a lot of experience in helping people navigate an environment full of falsehoods, random useless information, and truly horrifying pornography. I don't think the human soul will hold any real surprises for us.' Early reviews from consumers have been overwhelmingly positive. 'I was skeptical, I'll admit,' said former Boston-area investment banker Royce Creighton. 'But after two minutes on Yahoo Soul Search, I found that being born into a family of bankers didn't mean I had to be a banker. Half an hour of advanced soul-searching helped me find a buyer for my house, an alpaca farm for sale in Wyoming, and a highly recommended acupuncturist in Cheyenne. I've never been happier... and I found all this inside myself through Yahoo!' 
1	In a reversal of more than 15 years of Presidential Walkman policy, Bill Clinton announced Monday he is banning all personal portable stereo devices from meetings of the U.S. Congress, both House and Senate. U.S. Sen. Bob Michels, seen here enjoying some music, had his Walkman taken away by President Clinton yesterday after being caught wearing it during a key crime bill debate. Michels insists the Walkman was off. 'I realize most members of Congress are using their Walkmans responsibly, listening to them only during lengthy filibusters or sub-committee meeting breaks,' said Clinton, explaining the controversial decision. 'But there are still a few legislatorsand they know who they arewho have ignored my warnings and are still using them while Congress is in session.' 'Unfortunately,' added Clinton, 'these distracting few have now ruined it for everyone else.' Under the new plan, all confiscated Walkmans will be placed in the top right drawer of the President's desk, where they will remain until the end of the legislative day. The new policy has already been put into effect. U.S. Sen. Bob Michels (R-NM) had his Walkman taken away yesterday after being caught wearing it in the middle of a Democratic rebuttal of HR-309J, a recently proposed Republican-sponsored crime bill. Michels strongly protested the Walkman seizure, explaining it was turned off. 'Yes, I was wearing it,' Michels said. 'But the power switch was clearly in the off position. In addition, many Democrats were wearing Walkmans at the time as well, with some even playing music at loud volumes, but the President did not say anything at all. This double standard is completely unfair.' 'I don't care,' Clinton responded, unmoved by Sen. Michels' strong protestation. 'I don't want to see them at all.' 
2	Hillary Clinton Exposes Name Of Top CIA Agent Hillary Clinton cant be trusted with the responsibilities of the United States. It is common sense that a private, unsecure email address is not the appropriate way to handle sensitive information! Does she not realize she could be putting American lives at risk? Hillary Clinton used her private email account to pass along the identity of one of the CIAs top Libyan intelligence sources, raising new questions about her handling of classified information, according to excerpts from previously undisclosed emails released Thursday by Rep. Trey Gowdy, the Republican chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi. Tyler [Drumheller] spoke to a colleague currently at CIA, who told him the agency had been dependent for intelligence from [redacted due to sources and methods], the email states, according to Gowdys letter. Clinton is denying these accusations, and the FBI is investigating further into the matter. What do you guys think the punishment should be for putting our National Security at risk? 
3	Rockets Used in Damascus CW Attack Fired from Makeshift Flatbeds, Not Military VehiclesVideo emerges of unmarked truck-mounted launcher surrounded by militants, firing same ordnance used in August 21 Damascus (and other) chemical attacks. In September 17, 2013s article, 5 Lies Invented to Spin UN Report on Syrian Chemical Weapons Attack, one fabrication used by the West was exposed in particular [emphasis added]: Video has now emerged showing just the sort of unmarked improvised trucks US-backed terrorists would use to carry out the attacks, surrounded by a combination of civilian-dressed and semi-uniformed individuals firing ordnance identical to those used during the Damascus chemical weapons attack. Western media sources are scrambling to explain how this is instead, the smoking gun proving the Syrian government was behind the attacks, and not the so-called rebels. This tenuous argument is being spearheaded by the Brown Moses Blog run by UK sofa-based, self-taught weapons expert Eliot Higgins, which claims: The alleged footage Higgins posted on his blog comes from YouTube account, Darya Revolution clearly belonging to militant supporters. The video descriptions claims: What serendipity to have both a massive chemical attack in Damascus just as UN monitors arrived in the Syrian capital, and now video shot by militants who claim they just so happened to have a camera ready to film the rockets as they were launched toward Eastern Ghouta in Damascus. At face value, nothing about this points to the Syrian government as Higgins claims. Higgins even has to remind readers that the chemical weapons attack allegedly took place at night, directly contradicting the description of the video he is citing as a smoking gun. Image: After firing a single rocket, the truck is promptly covered and prepared for transit. The purpose of a national chemical arsenal is to provide a deterrence against foreign aggressors and for deployment in pitched, full-scale warfare. This modified truck was clearly designed for launching a single rocket, at a painfully slow rate of fire not for tactical purposes. It is however, literally, the perfect vehicle for a false-flag attack, particularly the chemical attack carried out in Damascus in late August. The video shows two trucks surrounded by a motley crew of both uniformed and non-uniformed individuals carrying a variety of weapons typical of Free Syrian Army formations, atypical of the Syrian Arab Armys operations which include columns of tanks, clearly marked aircraft, camouflaged trucks, and soldiers in full battledress. There appears to be one truck for carrying and loading the rockets, and another for launching them the launcher can be seen at the end of the video being concealed under a tarp. Aside from this, there are no other military vehicles seen in the vicinity, and the trucks themselves are unmarked, converted civilian vehicles typical of the technicals (improvised fighting vehicles) used by terrorists both in Libya and now Syria. For trucks allegedly carrying government chemical weapons, or even large high-explosive rockets, there is surprisingly lax security around them and a suspicious desire to conceal the improvised weapon system after use. Image: Terrorists in Syria, and previously in Libya, with the exception of stolen military vehicles, rely on improvised fighting vehicles of varying sophistication called technicals like the one pictured above. The larger flatbed featured in a recent video, launching a rocket similar to those found at the scene of an alleged August chemical weapons attack in Damascus, is also clearly an improvised fighting vehicle. The painstakingly slow process of loading and firing a single rocket would also negate any practical tactical advantage on the battlefield were this footage of another attack, on another day, using a conventional rocket for an artillery strike as Higgins seems to suggest. The Syrian military possesses an extensive arsenal of artillery pieces and multiple rocket launchers that could easily bombard targets with better accuracy, increased frequency and effectiveness. Additional evidence cited by Higgins of regime use of these rocket systems consists solely of militant footage of rocket impacts not of Syrian troops actually firing the weapons. Higgins operates under the false assumption that previous chemical attacks showing up in militant videos depicting similar rockets could only be the work of the Syrian government, and not false flag operations carried out by an increasingly desperate West and their proxy forces inside Syria. Aside from this assumption, he provides no evidence to back up his claims. Higgins was handed a smoking gun by the people most likely to have benefited from the crime, who claim they found it at the feet of the very government they are fighting. Without critical examination, and apparently based on the color hats several individuals were wearing, Higgins concludes that the footage portrays the Syrian government launching a single massive rocket from a modified flatbed. In reality, we are most likely looking at the EXACT method the US-backed terrorists in Syria used to carry out the chemical weapons attack in Damascus in late August. Whether or not the rockets contained chemical weapons could be a matter of debate as the rockets and other evidence were all clearly tampered with in the days before the UN investigated the site this according to the UN itself. On page 18 of the UNs report (22 of the .pdf), the UN states [emphasis added]: It is confirmed that the US has been training militants and providing contractors to accompany them into Syria where they have been operating specifically to handle chemical weapons. CNN reported in their 2012 article, Sources: U.S. helping underwrite Syrian rebel training on securing chemical weapons, that: While the video above is claimed to be a smoking gun, it instead, under critical examination, illustrates the means with which the false-flag operation was carried out in late August for the sole purpose of justifying direct Western military intervention to save a faltering proxy war. That the same rocket used in Damascus has now been seen launched from makeshift flatbeds and not olive green military rocket launchers, along with answering the basic question of to whose benefit? and considering that militants are confirmed to have US training in handling of chemical weapons all at the very least tear down the narrative that only the Syrian regime could have carried out the attacks.

2	Welfare Abusers In THIS State Just Got Slammed With Some Horrible News In the second week of August, a bill was introduced to the Ohio state legislature that aims to require welfare recipients to take drug tests before receiving government benefits. The proposed law proposes that adults who file for cash assistance from the state fill out a mandatory questionnaire or participate in a screening to determine their likelihood for drug abuse. Depending on the results of that screening, they would be required to take a drug test. If an Ohio resident fails the test, they will not be eligible for government benefits for six months, in an attempt to prevent tax dollars from going to the drug trade. Drug users, however, would still be able to arrange benefits to be given to their children, spouse, or a third party. This legislation will lift families out of drug-induced poverty that theyre suffering from right now and hopefully we can break that cycle of drug-induced poverty, Republican Tim Schaffer, who sponsored the bill, told reporters. This legislation is not a means to deny benefits but rather a means to identify and help those families in need. Republican Ron Maag, who also sponsored the bill, claims that it could prevent taxpayer money from supporting drug addictions. 
1	Claiming that the new addition to their broadcast will bring fans closer to the game than ever before, officials from Fox Sports confirmed Friday that the network is debuting line of scrimmage reporters for all of its NFL playoff games. Beginning with Wild Card Weekend, our line of scrimmage reporters will be positioned right in the middle of the neutral zone in order to provide viewers with the most in-depth and up-to-date information on whats happening before the snap, said Fox Sports president Eric Shanks, adding that the reporters will shed valuable insight into the quarterbacks cadence, audibles on either side of the ball, and any trash talk during the 40 seconds between each play. For the first time ever, fans will be given live updates from a source standing just inches away from the center as he tries to read the opposing defense. And once the ball is snapped, our commentators will check back in with our reporter to get a firsthand look at how a hole or passing pocket is developing. Shanks added that the network is also currently experimenting with a sky reporter, who, while suspended from a thin wire running the length of the field, will provide real-time analysis of plays from an aerial position. 
2	See What Dirt Michelle Has Collected About Her Husband Behind His Back It hasrecently been revealed that private detectives have collected some serious evidence that may reveal that President Barack Obama is cheating on Michelle. Apparently, the evidence is currently in the hands of the First Lady, who could call the marriage quits at any time. Many are doubtful, however, that Michelle will make any major moves until the Obamas leave the White House in 2017. Michelle now has all the dirt on Obamas women, a top D.C. source told the magazine, A private detective has compiled her secret divorce file, and it contains incriminating charges of cheating by the president. What do you think? Is Obama cheating on Michelle? Should she file for divorce? 
1	Confirming that it is the single most frequent thought on fathers minds, a study released Monday by researchers at Villanova University found that the average dad thinks about sealing in meats juices between four and five hours per day. Our research indicates that the typical dad thinks about sealing the juices into steaks, burgers, chops, and other meats hundreds of times over a typical 24-hour period, lead researcher Marissa Gerard said of the study, which tracked how often fathers in their 40s pondered bringing a grill to high heat, searing the surface of a steak, and then pulling it off at just the right time to retain a juicy red color inside. Whether a father is at work, at home, or already marinating another meat, roughly every six seconds on average, his mind starts drifting to thoughts of using charcoal or gas flames to create an evenly browned surface on a cut of meat that traps the juices inside. In a lifetime, he might spend 15 years thinking about how to prevent those juices from escaping. The study also found that a significant number of test subjects reported spending up to eight additional hours per day thinking about getting those perfect diagonal grill marks. 
1	Video editor Scott Lessner, after working all weekend to meet a deadline for the upcoming Spike TV special, Wait, Did I Just See That?!? World's Zaniest Bloopers And Other Outrageous $%#!! Caught On Tape, reported Monday that he had all but lost his 'usually rock-solid' ability to judge the comic merits of various on-camera glitches, blunders, and practical jokes. Lessner struggles to cull the best footage from a wealth of 'Grade-A' bloopers. 'I'm a proI should be able to do this,' said a visibly weary Lessner, 46, who in the past has proven his video-blooper editing chops on America's Funniest Home Videos and TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes. 'Is the KCBS newscaster farting on-air funnier than the Taiwanese interviewer doing the same thing?' said Lessner, jogging back and forth between the footage on his computer. 'The KCBS woman's fart has great timbre and texture, so that's a plus. But then the other one's got the funny foreign language and he's obviously deeply embarrassed. They're both money in the bank. I just can't think objectively.' Lessner, who said he started the weekend session laughing at the abundance of 'blooper gold,' soon lost all perspective when faced with the task of condensing the more than 86 hours of footagemost of which was 'almost indistinguishably hilarious'into a single 26-minute special by his strict Sunday deadline. 'I knew I was starting to lose my edge when that puppy peeing on the talk-show host failed to make me laugh,' said the sleep-deprived Lessner. 'That's network-caliber funny.' A tape of over 60 weather-segment gaffes caused the veteran editor particular consternation. 'How do you choose?' Lessner said. 'You got the guy falling over in a hurricane, sure, but then you got the wacky rapping weatherman, or the reporter getting blasted by a snowblower, then there's the wrong bluescreen coming up behind the Oklahoma meteorologistplus 50 some-odd others that are equally as good. Or at least seem to be. I can't even fucking see straight.' Lessner's traditionally dead-on sound-effect sensibilities also came into question when he struggled between the tweet-tweet and the classic 'ah-ooo-gah' sound effects for a shot of a man hitting himself in the head with his own bowling ball. One of more than 150 local-news-related blunders, flubs, and gaffes Lessner had to work with. 'I never noticed before, but if you play the 'boing' sound effect over and over, it starts to lose all meaning,' Lessner said. At approximately 3 a.m. Sunday morning, the increasingly stress-addled Lessner combined footage of a 1991 elephant attack on a young girl at a zoo in Tacoma, WA with the novelty hit 'Baby Elephant Walk,' but quickly discarded it when he realized that the gory footage was inappropriate for comedic purposes. As the weekend drew to a close, Lessner's impending deadline began to try his usually cool demeanor. 'When somebody screws up on camera this bad, they should be fired,' said Lessner, gesturing angrily at a botched local-news cooking segment. 'I mean, my God, that entire table fell over. Why would you lean on it? You're supposed to be a professional. And what do they do? They laugh. Disgraceful.' By weekend's end, Lessner said that he had cobbled together a serviceable rough cut, but still had deep reservations about whether he had created the most inspired and well-paced blooper reel possible. 'This is the sort of thing you really need to walk away from for a while and come back to with fresh eyes,' Lessner said. 'But the blooper business is about getting the laughs out to the public in a hurry.' Lessner stopped suddenly and raised his hand to his head. 'The shot of that woman's wedding dress falling down would have been the perfect place to use a slide whistle.' 
3	21 Signs That This Could Be A Long, Hot, Crazy Summer For The Global Financial SystemMichael Snyder, Contributor Things did not look this bad back in the summer of 2011 and things certainly did not look this bad back in the summer of 2010. It is almost as if a perfect storm is brewing. Today, the global financial system is a finely balanced pyramid of risk, debt and leverage. Such a system requires a high degree of confidence and stability. But when confidence disappears and fear and panic take over, the house of cards can literally start collapsing at any time. Right now we are watching a slow-motion train wreck unfold and nobody seems to know how to stop it. Unless some kind of a miracle happens, things are going to look much different when we reach the start of 2013 than they do today. The following are 21 signs that this could be a long, hot, crazy summer for the global financial system. Todd Harrison tweet: Hearing (not confirmed) @PIMCO asked employees to cancel vacations to have all hands on deck for a Lehman-type tail event. Confirm? Todd M. Schoenberger tweet: @todd_harrison @pimco I heard the same thing, but I also heard the same for some at JPM. Heard it today at a hedge fund luncheon. As Schortgen points out, these are not just your average Twitter users. Todd Harrison is the CEO of the award winning internet media company Minyanville, while Todd Shoenberger is a managing principal at the Blackbay Group, and an adjunct professor of Finance at Cecil College. #2 The Bank for International Settlements is warning that global lending is contracting at the fastest pace since the financial crisis of 2008. #3 Unemployment in the eurozone has hit a brand new all-time record high. #4 The government of Portugal has just announced that it will be bailing out three major banks. #5 Many U.S. banking stocks are being hit extremely hard. For example, Morgan Stanley stock has declined by 40 percent over the past four months. #6 Yields on Spanish debt and yields on Italian debt have been absolutely soaring. #7 10 year U.S. Treasury notes hit a record low on Friday because investors are scared and they are looking for safety. The following is from a recent USA Today article. Treasuries are at 1.46 because people are freaking out, says Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo Economics. #8 New orders for factory goods in the United States have declined three times in the last four months. That is a sign that the economic recovery in the U.S. has clearly stalled. #9 U.S. job growth in May was well below expectations and the unemployment rate has increased to 8.2 percent. #10 Economies all over the developed world are seriously slowing down right now. The following is from a recent article by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard. Brazil wilted in the first quarter. India grew at the slowest pace in nine years. Chinas HSBC manufacturing index fell further into contraction in May, with new orders dropping sharply and inventories rising. #11 Stocks in Japan hit a 28 year low on Monday. #12 Over the past five years, the stock markets of Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Ireland and Cyprus have all fallen by more than 50 percent. Will we soon see similar results all over the rest of Europe? #13 The Greek economy is literally shutting down. Just check out the chaos that unpaid bills are already causing. And unpaid bills are now threatening Greeces electricity supply. State-owned Electricity Market Operator (LAGIE), a clearing house for power transactions, hasnt paid independent power producers for electricity it bought from them. They, in turn, havent paid their natural gas supplier, Public Gas Corporation (Depa), which now doesnt have the money to pay its supplier. Payment is due on June 22. Alas, its supplier is Gazprom in Russia, and they insist on getting paid. If not, they will shut the valve, and Depa wont get the gas to supply the independent producers, which will have to take their power plants off line, removing about a third of the countrys electricity production. #14 It is estimated that there are 273 billion dollars of failed real estate loans in the Spanish banking system. #15 In March, 66 billion euros was pulled out of Spanish banks and sent out of the country. That was an all-time record and that was before we even knew the results of the recent elections in Greece and France. The numbers for April and May will almost certainly be even worse. #16 The unemployment rate in Spain is 24.4 percent and for those under the age of 25 it is over 50 percent. #17 Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is warning that Italy may have to take drastic actions if something is not done soon. People are in shock. Confidence has collapsed. We have never had such a dark future, he said. Indeed, the jobless rate for youth has jumped from 27pc to 35pc in a year. Terrorism has returned. Anarchists knee-capped the head of Ansaldo Nucleare last month. Italys tax office chief was nearly blinded by a letter bomb. If Europe refuses to listen to our demands, we should say bye, bye and leave the euro. Or tell the Germans to leave the euro if they are not happy, he said. #18 It now looks like Cyprus is going to be the next European nation to need a bailout. #19 Switzerland is threatening to implement capital controls in order to stop the massive flow of money that is coming in from banks around the rest of Europe. #20 As I wrote about the other day, World Bank President Robert Zoellick is warning that the summer of 2012 could end up being very similar to what we experienced back in 2008. Events in Greece could trigger financial fright in Spain, Italy and across the eurozone. The summer of 2012 offers an eerie echo of 2008. #21 Germanys former vice-Chancellor, Joschka Fischer, is warning that the entire EU could fall apart over this crisis. Lets not delude ourselves: If the euro falls apart, so will the European Union, triggering a global economic crisis on a scale that most people alive today have never experienced When was the last time that we saw so much bad economic news come out all at once? 2008 perhaps? We truly live in unprecedented times. It will be exciting to watch what happens, but it is also important to keep in mind that the coming economic crisis will cause extreme pain for millions upon millions of people. For example, the suicide of a mother and a son due to the deteriorating economy has absolutely shocked the entire nation of Greece. A 60-year-old Greek musician and his 91-year-old mother jumped to their deaths from their 5th floor apartment, driven to despair by financial woes. This double death is the latest in a rising epidemic of crisis-induced suicides in Greece. Witness accounts vary some say the mother, who suffered from Alzheimers, jumped first, screaming a prayer as she plummeted to her death. Other neighbors say the mother and her son jumped together, holding hands. But the one thing everyone seems to agree on is that the family had been struggling for a long time. The night before, Antonis Perris posted a suicide note of sorts on a popular Greek forum, saying he had no way of resolving the familys financial issues. The problem is that I didnt realize that I would need to have cash, because the economic crisis came so suddenly. Even though I have been selling our possessions, we have no cash flow, we have no money to buy food anymore and my credit card is maxed out with 22% interest rate. Perris continued to say that both his and his mothers health deteriorated, and that he saw no solution to his most basic problems getting food and medical help. This is why it is so incredibly important to get prepared. You dont want something like that happening to you or anyone in your family. This article first appeared here at the Economic Collapse Blog.

2	Megyn Kelly Runs Her Mouth At Donald Trump... Gets Immediately ANNIHILATED [VIDEO] For months now, Fox News host Megyn Kelly has been targeting Donald Trump. Her argument crumbled on Tuesday night, during last nights vice presidential debate. While live-tweeting the event, Trump started fact-checking Kelly after she claimed that he would be surrounded by his team as he tweeted. Kellyannes got the thumbs, Kelly argued. Only when theyre released will he [tweet]. Kelly, of course, was referring to Trumps campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway. Some believe she has been responsible for toning down Trumps rhetoric, driving him away from making some of the more shocking statements he was throwing out last summer. @megynkelly I am in Nevada, Trump tweeted. Sorry to inform you Kellyanne is in the audience. Better luck next time. This is just the latest public feud between Trump and Kelly. Their first battle took place when she moderated the first GOP debate over a year ago. What do you think of this interaction? 
2	Muslims Everywhere Are Pissed After Planet Fitness Makes HUGE Stand Against Islam Recently, a New Mexico Muslim woman is speaking out against Planet Fitness, claiming that she was kicked out of a gym in Albuquerque for wearing a head scarf. Tarainia McDaniel reportedly told gym staff that the scarf was an essential part of her religion, but was told to go find a baseball cap instead. McDaniel told reporters that she has gone to other Planet Fitness gyms and has never had a problem before. In fact, she asserts that it wasnt until she entered the Irving Boulevard location that she was turned away. She was told that the head covering didnt meet the gyms dress code. According to reports, McDaniel is a Muslim convert. She was brought up Roman Catholic but began practicing Islam as a 16-year-old. Now, shes raising her own two children as Muslims. Her lawsuit, filed under the New Mexico Human Rights Act and the Unfair Practices Act, claims that Planet Fitness had no legitimate reason to deny her entry. The companys attorney, Erika Anderson, denies the claims, stating that Planet Fitness has always prohibited members from wearing jeans, work boots, bandanas, skull caps or revealing apparel. At Planet Fitness, our policy is, and always has been, that members are allowed to wear head scarves for religious reasons in our clubs, the company claimed in a statement. They are asserting that they were not informed that the scarf was worn for religious purposes. Still, McDaniel maintains that she talked to employees about her beliefs. 
2	Sheriffs Across Country Issue Dire Warning About An Impending Attack From Obama The American public has been receiving warnings for months know that President Obama has every intention of bypassing Congress and using executive action to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. Keep in mind that the list included criminals and terrorists who have crossed the border illegally into our country. Now, sheriffs around the world have banded together, issuing a warning about the action what its consequences could be. A quick snapshot includes an increase in crime, disease, and terrorism. Every county in America will become a border county, said Sheriff Chuck Jenkins of Maryland. What were going to see is not only the cost to healthcare, social programs, and education, but the increase in criminals coming into our country, youre going to see increases in crime, infiltration from transnational gangs, the drug trade and human tracking. It completely undermines the rule of law and makes the job of every law enforcement officerwhich is already difficultimpossible, adds Sheriff Paul Babeu of Arizona. It would unleash a tidal wave of illegal border crossings, overwhelming law enforcement. It will be open season for cartels. Sheriff Eddie Guerra of Texas agrees, arguing, The drug cartel will exploit any opportunity to come into the United States, and this will create the cover for them to continue exploiting our porous border. This will create the opportunity for kidnapping, trafficking, sexual abuse, prostitution, and smuggling. This is a public safety issuea terrorist or any other kind of criminal may cross our borders, says Sheriff Same Page of North Carolina. We just dont know who is coming across. It is the worst message you can possible send. Come in, dont worry about the laws, dont wait your turn, Sheriff Tom Hodgson of Massachusetts added. You invite people to ignore our laws. We have no knowledge of these individuals background or criminal histories. What do you think? Do you agree with these Sheriffs? 
3	The Alarming Lack of Pretense in PoliticsWendy McElroy The libertarian icon Murray Rothbard used to chuckle gleefully over the statements and antics of the notoriously corrupt politician Boss Tweed (1823-1878) of Tammany Hall. Murray loved the blatant quality of the mans corruption. Those were the days before politicians had PR agents, and a crook was a crook, Murray would declare. He found the transparent corruption to be charming because it was non hypocritical and it publicly revealed the ugly face of politics. I disagree. The government is a band of organized thugs who steal wealth and impose social control. Every legitimate function government provides such as the construction of roads would be better provided by a free market that does not steal and does not control behavior. But if there must be a government, then I want it filled with pretense. Modern politics is the art of PR or smoke and mirrors. Politicians steal a fortune in salaries, hidden perks, pensions, and benefits. This is on top of the ego-bulging power they enjoy. But politicians also want the populace to believe they are public servants who are humbled by power. They deny praxeology. This Misesean theory states that human beings act to achieve goals that benefit them. Not so! claim politicians. Our actions are for the greater good, from pure altruism, for the children, an expression of public service, to stave off climate warming , for global peace, to advance womens rights. I remember vividly a news item from December 2012. It was the moment at which I realized the police in the US no longer feel any need to pretend. They have become blatant thugs who will brutalize or kill anyone who defies or annoys them. The news item? A Texas high school student was arrested; the arrest was allegedly to prevent the boy from harming himself due to depression. He was searched, his hands were cuffed behind his back, and he was placed into a police vehicle. The official version of what happened next: he shot himself to death with a hidden gun. Police claimed the T-shirted teen must have hidden the gun really well, and investigators backed up their account. No explanation of how the handcuffed teen retrieved a weapon was offered. The underlying message is that the police no longer need to pretend that they protect rather than victimize people. Imagine an associate who has the goal of victimizing you at every turn while, at the same time, he deceives you into calling him a friend. As long as the pretense is in place, he cannot commit acts that are glaringly antithetical to friendship. If he beats you up in an alley, you will compare his actions to his words and conclude he is an enemy. The need to float an illusion of friendship is a restraint upon his actions. He needs to maintain the illusion because it is your belief in the friendship that gives him access to your life. He wants you to cooperate in your own victimization. Government is that associate. The American government has pretended to be a friend and partner of the people since its inception. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people were words spoken by President Abraham Lincoln at a time when he presided over the greatest slaughter of Americans in history: The Civil War. The President uttered noble words and young men died in fields filled with corpses rather than grain. Such is the way of government for the people. Nevertheless, the need for pretense generally restrains government in much the same manner as it used to restrain the police. Before the militarization of the police in the wake of 9-11, officers perpetuated the lie of to serve and protect by presenting a comparatively benign face to the public. This required some level of good behavior. Brutality occurred behind closed doors and it was largely inflicted on those who had no voice in society. Today the police no longer close the door. They police use SWAT teams to raid organic farms, holding residents at gun point while they destroy okra plants. They kill harmless family pets as a routine part of intimidating harmless people. The mask has fallen. The war against Syria that wasnt is instructive. When Syria allegedly crossed an arbitrary red line that had been defined by Obama, the President was unilaterally ready to attack, without diplomatic foreplay, without Congressional approval, without UN support, with nothing but his signature on a piece of paper. It would have been a war for one mans credibility. The legacy of the Nobel Peace Prize winning President required the murder of Syrians. Then a series of PR setbacks occurred: the British parliament prevented the UK From joining in, the American public rebelled, international opinion backfired, Congress demanded a voice. Suddenly Obama began to pretend. I honor the opinion of the American people, he claimed. I will ask Congress, he vowed. I will consult with international powers, he announced. And, so, war with Syria was prevented by the need for pretense. When a government no longer cares how people view it, what results is the Soviet Union of the 1980s. A government that does not seek your consent to being victimized is a transparently totalitarian one that uses brutality as a default policy. People in the Soviet Union did not have the illusion of we are the government or the police are there to help you. They knew government was the enemy and the police were its agents. The American government is abandoning pretense. Murray would applaud. I see it as a final sign to either get out or prepare to seriously shelter in place. A government that is indifferent to public goodwill is openly hostile to human survival. A government that does not pretend is terrifying.

1	The U.S. Department of Spells and Incantations announced Monday the discovery of a new magical word. 'Fringle-Stumpf,' when spoken clearly by a person in the workplace, will cause that person's employer to become violently ill. A boss experiences violent stomach pain following an employee's utterance of 'Fringle-Stumpf.' Countless CEOs have been hospitalized since the word's discovery, including Coca-Cola's Ted Loesser, whose skeletal structure is slowly dissolving due to an osteopathic ailment not yet identified by science. 'The word has been classified as a fourth-level hex,' said Andrew Gottlieb, Assistant Warlock of the D.S.I., speaking for U.S. Spellmaster General Willard Henforth, who is currently on sick leave. 'Anyone with sufficient runelore to activate its sinister powers can visit great woe upon the person whose signature appears on their paycheck.' Diseases ranging from scurvy to pneumonia to explosive diarrhea have afflicted test bosses at D.S.I. laboratories in Washington, while control bosses, to whom only gibberish was spoken, have suffered no more than a headache. The new magic word is believed to be the greatest breakthrough in modern spell-casting since 1991's discovery that 'Bosh-Hen-Grelob' will blind an unfaithful spouse. The most recent fourth-level hex to be discovered was 1994's 'Ong-Mashar,' a relatively minor discovery since it only rids the body of pinworms. It is believed, however, that an anticipated rise in pinworm-related boss illnessesmay greatly popularize 'Ong-Mashar.' According to Gottlieb, he origins of the new word are as yet unclear. 'It is wondered whether 'Fringle-Stumpf' was a Druidic curse, or perhaps the nameof an ancient disgruntled employee whose spirit haunts cruel bosses to this day. Then again, so long as it makes one's boss vomit blood copiously, who cares?' As for its impact upon the modern workplace, a new golden age of benevolence on the part of bosses is predicted. 'No boss will want to anger their employees now,' said Craig Sundborne, assistant editor of American Magic Magazine. 'Firings may remain the same, since a person who lays off an employee is technically no longer the 'boss' of the angry party, but for those employees remaining on the payroll, expect some serious restructuring.' No one is more thrilled by the discovery than America's employees. 'I am Gruber, Lord of Wendy's,' said fast-food worker Todd Gruber, speaking from his velvet-lined throne next to the hamburger grill. 'I shall complete our customer's orders if and when it pleases me.' Gruber's employer, 61-year-old Jim Herbst, was not permitted to comment, as he was busy giving his employee a pedicure. Said Gruber, 'I think I shall speak some magic words... although, if a strawberry margarita were filling my mouth I would be unable to do so.' Herbst then shuffled out of the store, visibly dazed. Dozens of corporate CEOs have been hospitalized since the discovery, which was circulating across the Internet less than two hours after its confirmation. Microsoft head Bill Gates is currently at University of Puget Sound Hospital receiving treatment for swine flu and four other diseases, while Coca-Cola chief Ted Loesser's skeletal structure is slowly dissolving due to an osteopathic ailment not yet identified by science. 'Fringle-Stumpf' is scheduled to be scribed into the National Grimioreon Wednesday at midnight by a robed magi using a quill pen dipped in virgin's blood. All loyal servants of the Unnameable Dark One are invited to attend. 
3	Syria: NATOs Last Desperate Options in Lost Proxy WarBy Tony Cartalucci While it is obvious the US and its allies are responding directly to the collapse of their proxy forces across the country, their most recent threats to further escalate the conflict in Syria are tenuously predicated on fighting ISIS. The Guardian in its article, Saudi Arabia offers to send ground troops to Syria to fight Isis, would report: Saudi Arabia has offered for the first time to send ground troops to Syria to fight Islamic State, its defence ministry said on Thursday. The kingdom is ready to participate in any ground operations that the coalition (against Isis) may agree to carry out in Syria, said military spokesman Brigadier General Ahmed al-Asiri during an interview with al-Arabiya TV news. Saudi sources told the Guardian that thousands of special forces could be deployed, probably in coordination with Turkey. In reality, Turkey and Saudi Arabia have played a central role in both the intentional creation of ISIS and the logistical and financial perpetuation of its activities within Syria and Iraq. This is not according only to enemies of Ankara and Riyadh, but according to their central most ally, the United States. As early as 2012, a Department of Intelligence Agency (DIA) document (.pdf) admitted in regards to the Syrian conflict and the rise of ISIS that: If the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran). Mention of this Salafist (Islamic) principality (State) in 2012 is clearly when it was decided to transform US, Saudi, and Turkish-backed Al Qaeda affiliates then called rebels officially into ISIS. To clarify just who these supporting powers were supporting its creation, the DIA report explains: The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime. It is clear then, that this sudden interest in escalation has nothing to do with ISIS and more to do with rescuing the Wests proxy terrorists before they are entirely eradicated and/or expelled from the country. Russia, who has played a pivotal role in reversing the tides against Al Qaeda and ISIS militants in Syria, has even gone as far as accusing Turkey of what appears to be an imminent military incursion into the countrys northern region. Reuters would report in its article, Russia and Turkey trade accusations over Syria, that: Russia said on Thursday it suspected Turkey was preparing a military incursion into Syria, as a Syrian army source said Aleppo would soon be encircled by government forces with Russian air support. ISIS, as it has always been designed to be, serves merely as a pretext for justifying any prospective operation by the US and its regional allies an operation that will be in all reality aimed at challenging and rolling back Syrian and Russian gains on the battlefield or at the very least, providing an unassailable sanctuary within Syrian territory for the Wests defeated proxies to retreat to. The idea of carving out a buffer zone from Syrian territory also goes back as far as 2012 when it became apparent that Libya-style regime change would be difficult if not impossible to achieve quickly. The idea would be to switch from the fast-paced, overwhelming proxy war the US and its allies had hoped to panic Damascus out from power with, to a more paced proxy war launched from NATO-occupied safe havens in Syria. With NATO aircover, terrorists could safely launch operations deeper into Syrian territory, slowly expanding both the buffer zone and NATOs de facto no-fly zone. Eventually, it was planned, the buffer zones would lead directly to the collapse of the government in Damascus. Again, far from a conspiracy theory, this plan was openly discussed within policy circles in Washington. The Brookings Institution a corporate-funded policy think-tank whose policymakers have helped craft upper-level strategy for the Iraqi, Afghan, Libyan, and now Syrian conflicts as well as plans laid for future confrontations with Iran and beyond has been explicit regarding the true nature of these buffer zones. In a recent paper titled, Deconstructing Syria: A new strategy for Americas most hopeless war, it states: the idea would be to help moderate elements establish reliable safe zones within Syria once they were able. American, as well as Saudi and Turkish and British and Jordanian and other Arab forces would act in support, not only from the air but eventually on the ground via special forces. The paper goes on by explaining (emphasis added): The end-game for these zones would not have to be determined in advance. The interim goal might be a confederal Syria, with several highly autonomous zones and a modest (eventual) national government. The confederation would likely require support from an international peacekeeping force, if this arrangement could ever be formalized by accord. But in the short term, the ambitions would be lowerto make these zones defensible and governable, to help provide relief for populations within them, and to train and equip more recruits so that the zones could be stabilized and then gradually expanded. In many ways, this has been attempted already to one degree or another in terrorist-occupied territory in Syria. As Syrian forces with Russian aircover moved into northern Aleppo, reports across the Western media complained that infrastructure underwritten by Western governments was being destroyed. This infrastructure, including bakeries literally run by Al Qaeda using flour supplied by the US government, was part of Brookings plan to make these zones governable. The presence of Russian military forces in Syria has apparently prevented the West from making these zones more defensible through the use of direct military force aimed at Syrian troops. How this plan will manifest itself now remains to be seen. What is most likely is a limited incursion into northern Syria into the shrinking Afrin-Jarabulus corridor before Syrian, Russian, and Kurdish forces completely fill the void. With Turkish and Saudi forces holding even a small percentage of the corridor, attempts to incrementally expand it as envisioned by Brookings may be made in the near to intermediate future. Brookings had also envisioned coordinating Turkish operations in the north with an Israeli attack in the south another option that is likely still being considered. There is also the possibility of the West attempting to enter and seize a sizable piece of Syrian territory Syrias eastern-most region, linking it up with territory in Iraq that appears likely to be stripped from the central government in Baghdad through similar tactics. The most likely result, however, would be a Golan Heights-style stand-off that could last years, if not decades. Syria would still be able to restore peace and order across the vast majority of its territory, liquidate the Wests proxies within their borders, and perhaps operate proxies of their own within seized territory creating a costly conflict politically, financially, and militarily for Turkey. For Saudi Arabia, the further stretching of its military forces would strain operational preparedness within the Kingdom, and further diminish its fighting capacity amid its war of aggression against neighboring Yemen. It is also another opportunity to expose inherent weaknesses in its military capabilities, further emboldening the growing arc of opposition challenging its influence throughout the Middle East. The worst-case scenario includes a NATO incursion into northern Syria being met by overwhelming resistance, blunting both its air and ground forces. With the majority of Turkish and Saudi military equipment originating in the US and Europe, it would in turn further weaken the illusion of Western military superiority upon the global stage. This could have significant impact on the integrity of both the European Union and the NATO alliance, as well as on prospective members seeking to join either or both in the near to intermediate future. With the endgame approaching fast in Syria, Damascus and its allies may seek to invest heavily in making this second, worst-case scenario the most likely outcome of any US-Turkish-Saudi incursion into northern Syria. By doing so, they may deter such a move from even being made in the first place, or the consequences unimaginable for the West should they try despite the obvious risks. Since the prospect of a buffer zone being carved out of Syrian territory in the event of a failed regime change operation against Damascus has been literally years in the making it is sincerely hoped that significant measures have been planned by Syria and its allies to counter it for just as long. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazineNew Eastern Outlook. What is a war when no war has been declared uhhh WAR! The real no false-flag war should be targeting the thinker$$$$$$$ bank$ter$$$$$$$. Using a sharper lens, another way to view these actions is to keep the end game in mind and consider what we are observing is the birth of a paradigm of an international military and police force moving freely across nation state borders to seek out and destroy terrorists with the term terrorist a term already morphing into the more ambiguous word extremist (to include advocates of constitutional rights and sovereignty). Is it a coincidence that congress is considering giving the executive branch new powers to wage endless wars against terrorists? Meanwhile, all around the globe central banks and governments are scurrying to enact capital controls (including Russia) and eliminate cash (Iran rolling out Smart Cards for their self identified Smart City Tehran), expanding biometric monitoring, and implementing UN Agenda 2030. Brookings, like globalist lackey General Wesley Clark, leak out information that suits their masters agenda, including disinformation. Syrias and Russias Oligarchs are deeply connected to: western elites; the globalist neoliberalization model; NWO UN Agendas; and have billions in private assets ensconced in western elite controlled banks and investment vehicles . Syria implemented Agenda 21 planning beginning in 1997, same time frame as Russia. http://www.un.org/esa/agenda21/natlinfo/countr/syria/inst.htm 
2	School Bans Children From Celebrating The USA Recently, a group of Colorado high school students were told that they were not allowed to have a spirit day celebrating America. According to administrators, the day might offend non-Americans. The students had collectively come up with the idea of Merica Monday. Their hope was that they could dress up in patriotic colors, however administrators felt that the theme should not be country-exclusive. A number of students and community members have spoken out against the schools actions, but the contributors chose to remain anonymous. Reporters attempted to contact the principal and assistant principal for commentary. They were unable to reach either party and did not receive any return calls. What do you think about the incident? Should students be allowed to celebrate their pride in our country? 
2	Putin Just Said Something That Is Getting All Christians Excited.... MUST READ According to recent reports, Vladimir Putin has just promised that he intends to make the protection of repressed Christians in foreign countries one of his foreign policy priorities. This comes after reports from the head of External Church Relations released the shocking information that every five minutes one Christian is dying in defense of his faith. His comments pertained specifically to Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan and India. This is how it will be, have no doubt, Putin answered the cleric, when he was asked to make the protection of Christians one of his priorities. What do you think? Would we be far better off with a president like this instead of one who is set on banning Merry Christmas? 
2	Obama Makes Sick Move For Trumps Inauguration... Heres What Hes Going To Be Doing With an entertainment industry run by extreme liberals, A-list celebrities have been fearful of performing at Donald Trumps inauguration, feeling it would be risking their careers. This resistance has made it extremely difficult for Trumps inauguration committee to book the January 20 event. This week, Barack Obama is demonstrating his complete lack of respect for our next president by holding an A-list bash at the White House, right before he leaves office. Guests at the event include Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce and Jay-Z, Samuel L. Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bradley Cooper and famous directors J.J. Abrams and George Lucas. Obamas message is not subtle: Trump may have earned the respect of the majority of Americans, but Hollywood elites are sticking with him. Its no wonder. The Obamas have spent millions of our tax dollars throwing parties for Hollywood stars throughout their years in office. In 2014, Today show host Al Roker gave Americans a picture of just what these White House bashes are really like. I gotta tell you, it was literally a house party. It was a house party that happened to be in the White House, Roker said. There were all these stars which was kind of terrific in fact for a while there I thought who are all these kids and it turns out Sasha and Malia invited a lot of their friends so there were a lot of young people. On Tuesday night, Bill OReilly explained that what we are seeing is a reverse McCarthyism going on in the entertainment industry. Performers feel too intimidated and threatened to show support for our future president in any way. If you are a Trump supporter, you are a bad person, and a number of entertainers believe their careers will be harmed, should they associate with the new Trump administration, OReilly commented in a recent segment. Again, that is terrible, an awful state of affairs. What do you think? Do you agree with OReilly?

3	UK medical doctors call for immediate action against wireless technologiesOpen letter by UK medical doctors:Health and safety of Wi-Fi and mobile phones Additionally, doctors are encountering a significant and growing number of people presenting with a range of acute (short-term) symptoms from wireless radiation, including headaches, palpitations, rashes, fatigue, sleep disturbance, allergies and memory and concentration problems. International medical agencies have recognised the evidence of harm (see appended list) but these rulings may take many years to be reflected in public health policy. This controversy is a common characteristic of scientific understanding when environmental exposures are new. New technologies and substances often come with scientific conflict, which can continue for several decades before consensus is achieved. Commercial pressures often delay the acceptance of health risks, even when scientific evidence is compelling. In the case of tobacco, asbestos, x-rays and leaded petrol, for example, it took many decades before damage was established and accepted by health agencies and during those decades millions of people suffered ill health and death as a result of the delay. Now, despite evidence of harm, wireless technology is being rolled out widely. Childrens health should be put ahead of convenience and commercial benefits. Children should not use mobile phones except in an emergency, and WiFi should be replaced with wired alternatives in schools and other settings where children spend considerable time. Yours faithfully, Dr Elizabeth Evans MA (Cantab), MBBS (Lond), DRCOG medical doctor BCM SSITA London WC1N 3XX // www.ssita.org.uk Appendix International Rulings 2. The Council of Europe has called for member states to take measures to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields and give preference to wired internet connections for children, particularly in schools and classrooms. The Parliamentary Assembly stated that the Assembly regrets that, despite calls for the respect of the precautionary principle and despite all the recommendations, declarations and a number of statutory and legislative advances, there is still a lack of reaction to known or emerging environmental and health risks and virtually systematic delays in adopting and implementing effecti ve preventive measures. Waiting for high levels of scientific and clinical proof before taking action to prevent well-known risks can lead to very high health and economic costs, as was the case with asbestos, leaded petrol and tobacco.. 3. The BioInitiative Report, updated in 2012 by 29 scientists, states that biological effects are clearly established and occur at very low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation from just minutes of exposure to mobile phone masts (cell towers), WI-FI, and wireless utility smart meters. 4. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine stated in a 2012 Position Paper that Multiple studies correlate RF exposure with diseases such as cancer, neurological disease, reproductive disorders, immune dysfunction, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity. 5. International Society of Doctors for the environment (ISDE) and Irish Doctors Environmental Association (IDEA) state that there is sufficient scientific evidence to warrant more stringent controls on the level and distribution of electromagnetic radiation [EMR]. The joint statement and recommendations are part of a call by medical and scientific experts for safe technologies in schools. 6. The Safe Schools Report 2012 lists statements by other doctors and medical associations raising concerns over childrens exposure to electromagnetic fields from Wi-Fi and other wireless technology.

1	In a farewell ceremony before the teams Tuesday night game against the Rays, the New York Yankees paid tribute to longtime shortstop Derek Jeter by officially retiring his number and then forcibly escorting him out of the stadium, sources confirmed. Over 18 incredible seasons, Derek was one of the best players baseball has ever seen, and his amazing career speaks for itself, Yankees GM Brian Cashman said to the crowd as he walked Jeterwho repeatedly looked around in confusionto center field while former teammates Jorge Posada, Paul ONeill, and Bernie Williams unveiled the number 2 jersey in Monument Park. While were all sad that this is his last appearance at Yankee Stadium, none of us will ever forget his amazing contributions to this ball club. Itll be strange not seeing you out there anymore, Derek, but youll always be remembered as an all-time Yankee great. So lets hear it one last time for our captain, Derek Jeter! The ceremony reportedly concluded as security guards took Jeters hand and waved it to the crowd, dragged him inside the stadium against his will, and then shoved him out into the parking lot. 
1	Confusion and awkwardness resulted Monday when the P-Funk Mothership, outer-space chariot of Dr. Funkenstein and the Star Child, accidentally descended upon a sold-out Hootie and the Blowfish concert at the Rosemont Horizon arena in suburban Chicago. The P-Funk Mothership lands behind Hootie and the Blowfish singer Darius Rucker at Chicago's Rosemont Horizon, an event he says threatened to 'tear the roof off the structure.' 'Thumpasaurus Peoples! You have summoned us through the Groove, and we have returned to refunkatize the planet!' said Dr. Funkenstein, the fur-bedecked, disco-booted Mothership Supreme Commander, moments before the popular South Carolina-based band was about to launch into the song 'I Only Wanna Be With You.' Members of Hootie and the Blowfish, whose 1995 release Cracked Rear View sold over 14 million copies, were caught off guard by the arrival of the Mothership. 'The man who came out of the spaceship attempted to shoot me with something he called a 'Bop Gun,'' lead singer Darius Rucker told reporters. 'Somehow I sensed it would be detrimental to my career as a singer.' Added a visibly distressed Rucker: 'He also seemed to imply that if I let my mind go free, something would happen to my bottom.' Bandmate Dean Felber was equally disturbed by the appearance of the cosmic visitors. 'Their mode of dress was, frankly, garish,' Felber told reporters, 'not at all like the muted, earth-tone flannels and oversized cable-knit sweaters appropriate for concert wear.' Sources speculate that an inadvertent hip shake by Rucker, who briefly lost his balance stumbling over a stray mandolin, may have accidentally summoned the Mothership. It is also speculated that Rucker's powerful baritone voice may have exceeded Hootie and the Blowfish's normal safety standards for 'bass,' inadvertently summoning the intergalactic funk saucer. Said band member Mark Bryan,'We had just finished a really super rendition of 'Let Her Cry' that sounded exactly like on the CD, when out of nowhere these strange men came down shouting about getting up and doing the backstroke, or something.' According to police, no serious damage was caused by the incident, but it did result in a 45-minute concert delay, causing many in attendance to go to bed later than they had wanted to. 'I had a 9 a.m. meeting the next day with a very important client,' said concertgoer/stockbroker James Norridge, 42, who did not go to sleep until well after midnight. 'I really needed to be at the top of my game.' Norridge's disappointment was typical of the 17,456 whites in attendance. 'I did not wish to get 'funked up,'' said Roger Kleist, 33. 'If I did, I would have attended a Dave Matthews Band concert.' 
1	Following weeks of careful planning, NATO officials revealed Monday that an airstrike had successfully destroyed a vital Taliban day care center in eastern Afghanistan, killing over 45 Taliban babies and toddlers. I can confirm that on Sunday, coalition forces carried out an attack on a nursery school of considerable strategic importance, said a spokesman for NATOs International Security Assistance Force, adding that 11 high-priority 2-and-3-year-old targets were killed during the operation. The facility was believed to have housed a supply closet containing diapers and snacks, as well as several playrooms and a large nap area. We made sure we ordered the strike during playtime so that we could eliminate targets both in the building and those who were outside running around on the playground with their friends. The airstrike reportedly marks the second successful military siege against rebel forces this month, after last weeks successful bombing of a key Taliban soccer game. 
3	The Revolution is a Relay RaceJ.G. Vibes With the general population in a constant state of denial for many generations, the people and organizations that controlled the worlds land and resources have been able to consolidate their power with minimal resistance. This is a process that has been taking place since the dawn of civilization, from the times of human sacrifice and divine rule. People oftentimes make the mistake of thinking that the revolution started right at the moment when they found out about it. In reality the battle between freedom and enslavement has been raging for centuries, and has played out like a relay race where each generation passes the mission along to the next. The only problem is that those on the side of freedom have not had the ability to participate in this process. For the better part of history the general population was illiterate and poorly educated, making it that much more difficult to immortalize their side of the story and their ideas for future generations. Although, at least in the past there was some sort of concern for the world that was being left behind for the unborn, even though there was still widespread confusion and indoctrination. Nowadays with the extremely sophisticated mental conditioning made possible through the media and government schools, people have been trained to live as if they were the last generation on earth. On top of that people continue to pass along the mentality of their oppressors onto their children as their ancestors had onto them. Luckily, thanks to the widespread decentralization of information that has been made possible by the internet, there are more people than ever who are starting to question the society that they were born into. This is definitely a great victory in the struggle for freedom, but unfortunately many people become depressed and discouraged when coming to the reality of their existence. A world of peace and rationality seems like such a total stretch of the imagination because it is drastically different from what we experience today, but that doesnt mean that this world is impossible. Every generation there are many drastic paradigm shifts that radically alter the way that people interact with each other, and for the most part all throughout human history these shifts have contributed to a slow upward progression towards a more peaceful world. Unfortunately tragedies like mass murder, slavery and subjugation do still take place, but they are getting harder and harder to justify because our species is in the process of evolving beyond the type of mentalities that trigger this kind of behavior. When approached from this perspective it becomes obvious that freedom and peace is inevitable for our species. That does not mean that you should just sit back and wait for it to happen, because the more people who get involved and put their intellect and energy towards outgrowing the violent social systems that we were all born into, the faster it will actually happen. By noting that the struggle we are facing is a multigenerational one, I am in no way saying that our generation cant make great progress in our lifetime and lay a solid foundation for a free society while we are here on earth. I am simply making the point that although it may seem like this moment in time is the climax of the human story, every person who is alive right now was born into an age old revolution that will eventually be passed onto future generations to carry on. Thats how things really are when you think about the big picture. This doesnt just apply to parents and their children, anyone who has the potential to develop and share an idea has the potential to help lay the foundation for the first free society that ever existed.

3	The Liberation Of Palmyra: US Narratives And NATO Terrorists Defeated In The Syrian DesertOp-Ed by Afraa Dagher During the time that the U.S. was supposedly engaged in its fight against ISIS, hundreds of ISIS convoys crossed great distances in the Syrian and Iraqi deserts, from Ramadi in Iraq to Palmyra City in Syria, all under the eyes and the advanced radar systems of the U.S.-led coalition. Of course, this coalition didnt even lift a finger despite the fact that they saw all of this happening. Since 2013, the U.S- led coalition in Syria and Iraq has been fighting ISIS but the presence of the coalition has actually led to a viral spread of the terrorist organization within Syria and Iraq. ISIS then began destroying the historical heritage of both countries in order to eliminate any cultural background of the real civilizations of these countries, much like the Israeli method that removes the real identity of the land it occupies. Even the United States reaction to the spread of ISIS was a disgrace. Spokesman for the U.S. State Department, Marie Harf, declared that the U.S. could do nothing to prevent this destruction and added that, because of this, the United States is trying to push ISIL out of Iraq and that they are trying to help the Syrian opposition push back against ISIL in Syria! U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, declared that U.S. airstrikes have slowed the ISIS advances but that defeating the jihadists could take years. Yet such a statement ignores the fact that many times the U.S. has mistakenly dropped weapons to ISIS fighters themselves. But that was their game all along to pull the Syrian Arab Army away from important battle fronts like the one in Lebanon and al-Qalamoun, thus securing the fronts which were important to stop the influx of terrorists into Syria. Here is why Palmyra is so important. The city is a Heritage Site for the whole world. More important in terms of material interests, however, Palmyra is rich in gas and oil resources and it is an important line to transfer them to other countries being located on the border with Iraq. In addition, the citys location sits almost in the middle of Syria. It is at this point where the country could potentially separate into northern and southern parts. The liberation of Palmyra on March 27, 2016 occurred because of the great courage and the sacrifices of the Syrian Arab Army and the support of its allies. Palmyras liberation was a massive blow to the American story that it is so difficult to defeat the jihadists and how it may take up to 10 years to accomplish it! Instead, the same jihadists were defeated within a week in Palmyra by the Syrian Army and its allies such as the Russian military and Hezbollah. The strategy that was carried out by the SAA and Hezbollah was done professionally so as to protect most of the ancient ruins of the City. The forces were flexible, surrounded terrorist forces, and acted in a speedy fashion whenever it pushed forward, a true testament to the power of the Army. This is yet another reason Israel and its allies in the GCC, and the United States is determined to destroy the SAA. History, identity, tourism, and economy has defined Palmyra in the past but it has acquired even more value now because of the sacrifices made by the new soldiers of the Queen Zenobia. This is, indeed, the greatest Syrian Arab Army. Image Credit Afraa Dagher is a political analyst currently residing in Syria.

I swear that I can hear bam-bam cussing clear over here in Calif. America has no feel for ancient structures proving a civilisation. Reminds me of the 1000 year old churches that withstood the bombings of World Wars I II. Then came Clinton and the 1000 year old churches in Serbia were reduced to rubble. The Exceptional American Way! Remember QV3, weve been over this before, Its actually the Tribe that direct all US and ISIS actions. They, of course, hate any ancient monuments that arent monuments to their, supposedly ancient Tribe which, unfortunately for their mythology is all of them.

Because its what Israel wants them to do. 
3	A Brexit and the Collapse of the EU Is all but Certain NowBy Joshua Krause When it was first announced earlier this year that British citizens would have the opportunity to vote to leave the EU on June 26th, it seemed like a long shot. But with increasing concerns over unfettered immigration from Muslim countries, a situation that has been enabled by the EU, polls are leaning more towards a Brexit than they ever have before. In fact, for the very first time, pretty much every poll shows that more people want to leave the EU than stay. According to the YouGov poll for The Times, Leave held 46 percent support compared with 39 percent support for Remain. Undecided voters were 11 percent, while 4 percent wont vote. Last Monday The Times/YouGov had reported a 1 percent lead for the Remain campaign Other polls published on Monday also put Leave ahead, while betting odds on Brexit narrowed. An ORB poll for The Daily Telegraph put support for Leave at 49 percent, compared with Remains 48 percent, while two ICM polls, one online and one conducted by telephone, found Out held 53 percent support compared with 47 percent support for In, the Guardian newspaper, which sponsored the telephone poll said. That compared with a 52-48 percent split in favor of Out in ICM polls two weeks ago, the Guardian said. Those polls excluded respondents who answered dont know. Unless something drastic reverses this trend, Britain will be on its way out of the EU, and theyll be the first country to do so. And that could have some pretty serious consequences for the global economy. For starters, a Brexit could be the first domino to knock down the entire EU system. While Britain makes a fairly small economic contribution to the EU compared to other countries, they have paid more in EU membership fees than they have gotten back, almost every single year since they first joined. Britain would be a financial loss for the EU, which is something that the EU cant afford considering that theyre walking on economic thin ice at all times. At first a Brexit wouldnt mean much for the EU, but after a while it would be catastrophic. Initially it will hurt Britains economy, which will have to adjust to the change. Already investors are pulling out the pound, since they expect the Brexit to hurt the economy. But since Britain would no longer be tethered to the EUs absurd and onerous regulations, their economy would eventually soar. And that will be the death of the EU. Once their member states realize that theyre now responsible for more of the EUs debt, and once they realize that countries that leave the Eurozone are more successful, there will be a race for the exits. The next country that decides to leave (most likely a country thats also paying more into the system than theyre getting back) will also become successful, and leave behind more debt for the EU to carry. And so it will go until the only nations that remain are the ones that are total basket cases. The union will totally crumble at that point, since those nations wont be able to sustain the system. As far as the global economy is concerned, this will be a major blow, but one that is necessary. The EU is a significant drag on the global economy, but when it goes a lot of wealth is going to evaporate. If anything, an EU collapse could be the catalyst for the next global economic crisis. Just like the last global economic downturn, silver prices and gold prices will likely soar, but other than that, an EU collapse is going to hurt every other aspect of the global economy. It will take years to recover from the collapse of the most economically prosperous nations on the planet, but the renaissance that is sure to follow the death of tyrannical Eurozone, will make it all worth it.

The end of NATO, a post WWII artifact promoted as a deterrent to Soviet Russia who was our ally in WWII and the Communist component of that government hasnt existed for over a quarter of a century now. The main reason Obama flew off to Britain and twisted the arm of the prime minister to cancel any Brexit plans. NATOs end would once and for all end our ability to meddled in the affairs of various Eastern European Countries ! Given the current state of our economy, I have no doubt that we could find far more productive domestic projects to spend this money on as we actively reduce the threat of future foreign wars of aggression ! There are few factual errors in this piece. The vote is actually on 23rd June not 26th as stated. The polls have been wildly swinging for the past 2 3 months. There is no obvious trend. It seems almost impossible to call but most betting sites have a remain vote as a clear favourite. Moreover even if the vote is to leave, the government still have do it will they? The argument that Britain leaving will result in a crash and collapse of the EU is naive at best. 
2	Black Panthers Reveal Plans: Time To Build An Army, Train With Firearms Well it appears that the Black Panthers may have yet another terrifying agenda planned for 2015. According to recent reports, Malik Zulu Shabazz, a leader for the group, spoke out this week on Black Power Radio. During the interview, he claimed that this was the time for the organization to build an army and head to the gun range. And Mister Malcolm X, he consistently teaches us self defense, Shabazz continues. The most honorable Elijah Muhammad continuously teaches us self defense. The honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey teaches us self defense. What am I saying? Right now its time to build up that army. Right now its time for us to build those corps, those troops. Its time to get strong. Its time for lifting weights and working out and going to the gun range and all of that. What do you think of the shocking announcement? Should the threat be taken seriously?

3	Stop Selling Your Children to BankersBy Stefan Molyneux Throughout history, it is typically the young who are sacrificed for the sake of the older generation; young people are herded into the buzz saw of war and have their futures sold off through massive debts long before they escape the crib. As financial collapse looms above several major world economies who will be held responsible when the bill comes due? Amazingly Accurate This will happen every time people accept a private monopoly on money supply. Its not the fault of fiat money, which is the only money that can serve people. You have heard, no doubt, that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. But for the rich who do actually get richer, and the poor who remain poor theres one basic and simple reason : the rich keep doing the things that make them rich, while the poor keep doing the things that keep them poor. When People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their manners, they will sink under their own waight without the aid of foraign invaders. Samuel Adams This hideous financial mess of the West .will NOT end well this is way worse than 2008. What is the US debt level now approaching $20 TRILLION! If people would just stop all this digital crap and pull back and take a good look at everything now everything appears fake and the hyped way worse than 2008 from the financial markets to this ridiculous real estate hype (which is NOT liquid BTW good luck with that one) let the interest rates rise and remove either the tax breaks or better yet start regulating the transactions like they do bank deposits and lets see how that plays out. I will sit back in my rented house with no debt, car paid, excellent credit and cash and watch this train-wreck with popcorn in hand. 
3	Canada bans small weed ops for enormous commercial profitsRady Ananda Health Canada has banned private-dwelling production of this 34-million-year-old plant, because the Mounties complained about missing out on taxes for weed sold outside the licensed market. Actually, they called the activity criminal because, after all, no matter that the plant is safer andmore effective than many lab-drugs, the government criminalized it. The 4,200 small growers, who are limited to selling to only two patients, must close down all operations by March 2014, or apply for licensing under the new regime which has much stronger security protocols, necessitating serious infrastructure upgrades and paperwork protocols. Users will be required to buy only from the large-scale factory farms, because we all know factory farms are so much better for the environment and the local economy. In June, Canada passed new regulations banning pot home grown by cannabis patients, and bowed to pharmacist refusal to sell the herb, The Province reports, referring to the potential for break-ins and theft. Its okay to sell highly addictive and destructive oxycontin, barbiturates and amphetamines, and, lawd knows, no pill head would ever break into a pharmacy for these drugs. Over two-thirds of Canadas 37,359 approved medical marijuana users grow their own under a license, some for as low as $1 a gram. (Mail order buyers pay around $5 a gram.) Home production is being criminalized so that major corporations can overcharge the sick and dying at the rate of $7.60 $10 a gram. Genetically modified strains can also be sold without notice to patients, since Canada lacks a right-to-know policy regarding GM products. The new policy deliberately defeats the know your farmer notion, so patients will be stuck ingesting whatever is engineered into the plant. Though small ops are being wiped out, Canada will allow cannabis imports. Nice to know the nation is doing so well economically that small-time growers dont need the income. And we can be sure that creative inventions like the one below will fall prey to pesticide laden plants in factory labs: Heaven forbid cost-effective treatment for a wide variety of illnesses could be manufactured in the home, naturally, organically and safely. No, no, Big Pharma and the biotech industry would lose profits, and predatory capitalism as featured in the West doesnt allow anyone to be independent of it. These are the real criminals in all of this, along with their crony regulators. We would expect nothing less from Health Canada who fired its food safety scientists for exposing the dangers of genetically modified bovine growth hormone.

[3] According to Science Lab [4] Potential Acute Health Effects: Hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of eye contact (irritant), of ingestion, of inhalation (lung sensitizer). Potential Chronic Health Effects: Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (sensitizer). CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance may be toxic to kidneys. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. The revelation that yoga-mat ingredients are in so many U.S.-produced foods ought to infuriate consumers about all the poisonous chemicals we literally are being forced to eat. Misleading advertising entices us to purchase chemical-laden edibles, which really cant be considered nutritious foods, as far as Im concerned. Remember, Im a retired natural nutritionist. Reading food ingredient labels should become a key food-shopping routine for everyone concerned about what goes into ones body as food. However, AZ probably is not listed as such on brand labels or may be considered an ingredient that does not have to be divulged. Thanks, Environmental Working Group. for exposing yoga-mat foods. I encourage readers to study EWGs list nearly 500 foods containing azodicarbonamide [2]. Heres what Id like to remind readers: Remember, you have the power of the purse to make food purveyors take chemicals out of products. Its called boycotting or stop buying products. Also, send emails and letters, or make phone calls to corporate headquarters telling them how you feel about their products. If they get enough input from consumers, they will listen, if they want to keep selling products.

1	Following the ongoing power outage that has left more than 680 million people in India without electricity, 17-year-old sweatshop worker Bhavesh Patel told reporters today he has now been forced to work his grueling, inhumane job in the dark on top of fucking everything else. 'Jesus Christ, are you shitting me?' Patel reportedly said to himself while struggling to hand-stitch the right sleeve onto an Adidas T-shirt in pitch-black darkness. 'It's bad enough having to work 19 hours straight in 100-degree heat for almost no pay, but now I have to stumble around in the dark like a goddamn moron, too? Fucking terrific.' Patel then quickly remembered his starving family, calmed himself down, and continued to quietly and diligently work deep into the night. 
3	Arrogant Obama Insults Skeptics: We dont have time for a meeting of the flat-Earth societyDaisy Luther Ironically, Obama is the one using junk science and emotion in order to further an agenda, because man-made climate change is a myth that has been disproved. Global warming has been debunked by peer-reviewed studies. A recent article by Thomas Lifson for American Thinker stated A peer-reviewed survey of 1077 geoscientists and engineers finds that only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis. Whats more, researchers at none other than NASA have confirmed that carbon dioxide actually cools the planet, rather than warming it. Martin Mlynczak and his colleagues over at NASA tracked infrared emissions from the earths upper atmosphere during and following a recent solar storm that took place between March 8-10. What they found was that the vast majority of energy released from the sun during this immense coronal mass ejection (CME) was reflected back up into space rather than deposited into earths lower atmosphere. The result was an overall cooling effect that completely contradicts claims made by NASAs own climatology division that greenhouse gases are a cause of global warming. As illustrated by data collected using Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER), both carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), which are abundant in the earths upper atmosphere, greenhouse gases reflect heating energy rather than absorb it According to the data, up to 95 percent of solar radiation is literally bounced back into space by both CO2 and NO in the upper atmosphere. Without these necessary elements, in other words, the earth would be capable of absorbing potentially devastating amounts of solar energy that would truly melt the polar ice caps and destroy the planet. (source) We dont have time for a meeting of the flat-Earth society, Obama said. Sticking your head in the sand might make you feel safer, but its not going to protect you from the coming storm. (source) If you know what to look for, Obamas tactic is obvious he is belittling those who are aware that the climate change threat is nothing but a hoax for control, by insinuating that we are backward and ignorant. This is meant not only to insult our intelligence, but also to manipulate the public into not wanting to be as backward and ignorant as the deniers. He went on to say that the majority of scientists agreed that global warming is a man-made crisis and that they had put to rest any skepticism. I guess President Obama missed the memo from NASA and that survey of the top scientists mentioned above. Of course those statistics dont support Obamas goal of destroying the coal industry and falling into line with the United Nations false environmental movement. The end result of this will be higher energy prices, less availability of energy for most of us, and limited transportation options in short its pure Agenda 21 and a way to control to masses and put the worlds resources into the hands of the elite. We were warned of this in 1996: Former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev emphasized the importance of using climate alarmism to advance socialist Marxist objectives:The threat of environmental crisis will be the international disaster key to unlock the New World Order. (source) The proposed environmental laws will widen the divide between the rich and the poor, and will deepen the hold that the elite have on the worlds resources, leaving little left over for the rest of us. Obamas scorn shows the hostility he feels for the critical thinkers that are not buying his propaganda. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.

2	Liberals Pass Bill To Change The Hurtful Name Of This Fish Because Its Racist It seems that anything can be deemed racist these days. From criticizing peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to suing sports teams, liberals are on a streak of political correctness that is bordering on censorship. Now, one group has entered a bill to change the name of a fish that has been deemed offensive. Just last week, the Minnesota Senate based a bill from Democrat John Hoffman changing the name of the Asian carp to the invasive carp. Although the fish originates in Asia, Hoffman claims that Asians may be offended by the name since the species of fish is now present in dozens of states and has been known to cause widespread destruction to local ecosystems. According to reports from Breitbart, the Army Corps of Engineers has been fighting to scale back the population growth of the black carp, the silver carp, and the grass carpall of which originated in either China of Vietnam. The fish was first introduced to American waters in 1970. What do you think? Is the name factual or offensive? Are Democrats taking their racist agenda too far? 
1	While emphasizing that they appreciated the pontiffs support, local newlyweds John Greene and Adam Liu admitted today that they were nevertheless a little weirded out by Pope Francis standing in the back of their wedding ceremony on Saturday. John Greene told reporters that shortly after he and his new husband heeded the ordained ministers request to join hands and face each other, the pair took one last glance at the audience and noticed the Bishop of Rome standing quietly near a back wall and smiling. I guess Im flattered that he decided to come to our wedding for some reason, but at the same time, I have to say, it was a little off-putting, Greene said of the ecclesiastical leaders presence at the non-denominational ceremony, which he attended alone. Every once in a while he would give a little nod, then go back to just standing there with this smile on his face. It was definitely a nice gesture; it was just kind of weird and distracting, considering we dont know him and whatnot, Greene added, noting that the Pope was otherwise polite and gracious during the roughly 20-minute ceremony. I could see him clapping at the end of our vows. Like, really enthusiastically. Greene and Liu reported that as they walked back down the aisle following the ceremony, the Sovereign of Vatican City leaned in and whispered congratulations with a tear in his eyea gesture they said was sweet and all, but frankly a little startling. The newlyweds said they were equally surprised to see the Supreme Pontiff shortly thereafter at the reception party at a nearby harbor club, where he quietly listened with visible emotion as friends and family toasted the longtime couple. I mean, it seemed like he really enjoyed all the toasts, because I saw him laughing at the funny story of how John and I first met and he definitely teared up when [Greenes sister] Kristin was talking about about how John proposed to me at the restaurant where we had our first date, Liu told reporters. I just wish we would have known he was coming, because then we could have at least asked for his dinner order and put him with some other people who came alone. It was nice he had a good time, though. Numerous wedding guests confirmed that although the Pope appeared somewhat reserved during the first hour of the reception, the Primate of Italy eventually loosened up on the dance floor, moving to the music for three or four songs before reclaiming his seat at the table. Pope Francis then reportedly concluded his night by dropping off a gift box at the back of the room and slipping inconspicuously out the back door. He got us about $300 worth of stuff in total, which was, despite being super weird, really thoughtful of him, Greene said while unpacking a new single-cup coffee machine and K-cup refills. Its just a little, I dont knowodd, I suppose. This means he found our wedding website and looked pretty closely at our registry. At press time, the couple was reportedly considering where and how to send a thank-you note.

'Jackie Robinson was a true pioneer and an extraordinary human being,' said acting commissioner of baseball Bud Selig in a formal ceremony. 'Today, we honor his memory in the greatest way possibleby making sure that no other athlete ever occupies his role as a professional black baseball player.'

3	Agorist Challenge: Fixing Flint Michigans Poisoned WaterBy Tony Cartalucci That should be no surprise. The government and institutions charged and trusted to ensure the residents of this Michigan city had safe drinking water already demonstrated criminal levels of negligence and corruption, causing the problem to begin with. Expecting these same people and the system they represent to solve the problem lingers somewhere between the unreasonable and the absurd. US President Barack Obama declared a federal emergency in Flint over a year ago meaning that the problem isnt just corrupt, negligent, and criminal politicians in Flint but that the incompetence and impotence goes all the way to Washington. A year on and the solutions presented have ranged from simply forcing residents to buy bottled water and unsustainable charity providing those bottles, to superficial, even deceptive measures like replacing home faucets instead of the miles of poisoned plumbing running through the city. As for actually fixing Flints plumbing, government estimates range from millions to billions indicating no serious thought has been given to even so much as planning an infrastructure overhaul. It is most certainly a showcase for the absolute failure of government. But could it be a showcase for something more positive? Anarchists and agorists propose that there is virtually no problem that cannot be solved through the market voluntary exchanges between free citizens contributing to a better future. The few, semi-permanent solutions that have presented themselves in Flint have certainly leaned more toward this direction. Atmospheric water generator (AWG) company, EcoloBlue,donated 250 of their machines to the residents of Flint. However, at 1,200 dollars a piece, and requiring proprietary filtration systems, it is hardly the right fit for this particular market. Beyond charity or a large government subsidy, these machines will not reach many more people. The EcoloBlue units also include features that may not be as necessary and have helped contribute to their relatively steep price. These include hot and cold water dispensing capabilities and a computerized touch-screen monitoring and control system. An opensource design, based on a simple dehumidifier with stainless steel condensers and a widely available, generic water filtration system could easily be developed and fabricated in virtually any machine shop or makerspace in the state. While the costs will need to be low, the market for efficient, simple, and opensource water generators may make up in volume what is lost in big-ticket sales. Small businesses that form around this project could branch out, building a line of products to target different markets and price ranges over time. Larger units operated by business owners and community centers like churches and clubs, could bottle and dispense/deliver clean water to residents as a stop gap. There is a potential to create water-independence in Flint like some communities have created for food and energy elsewhere. It is the prefect project for technologically informed anarchists and agorists to prove their principles in practice, facing and overcoming a challenge government has demonstrably failed to meet. It is also a perfect opportunity to gain a foothold in the area of water independence, a crucial but often overlooked aspect of moving from centralization to localization. Michigan-based Libertarian politicianTiffany Haydenhas spent a large amount of time attempting to draw attention to the Flint water crisis with many people believing thanks to the corporate media that the crisis is long over. She has also attempted to approach local charity organizations, lobby the government, and stir up public support for action any action to address the crisis. She laments that even residents who are literally drinking poisoned water, have been lulled into apathy by handouts, superficial remedies, and an overall lack of awareness and leadership. Because lead poisoning is gradual, residents do not make an instinctive link between the poisoned water they are drinking and the problems it is causing in terms of health both mental and physical. While proponents of anarchy and agorism tell Hayden that asking the government to solve a problem of the governments own creation is futile making a valid point and free market solutions are the alternative no tangible solutions have actually been proposed, let alone implemented. Solving the Flint water crisis, however, would go far in validating anarchy and agorism as no longer ideologies, but an actual tool set used to solve real world problems when politics and politicians inevitably fail. The problem facing free-market proponents attempting to prove their principles work better in practice than the existing system, is how to approach and sell clean, opensource, decentralized water independence to the people of Flint and beyond. And if charity or crowdfunding is employed during the Flint water crisis, it should be focused on permanent solutions that provide permanent water independence not bottles of water that are literally here today and gone tomorrow and benefiting only corporations like Nestle, Pepsi, and Coke instead of local businesses. Elon Musk has dedicated himself to two apparent goals making humanity a multiplanetary species, and creating solar-electric infrastructure. His electric car company, Tesla Motors, approached enthusiastic people first, then with successive models, he made his cars both more appealing to regular people and more accessible. Throughout the growth of all of his businesses, he carefully balanced market realities against his own ideals. In other words, ideals that ignore market realities will remain intangible ideals. And pursuing market realities without ideals becomes aimless and unsustainable. He has stated that he believes nearly all problems can be solved in the markets. Luckily for those attempting to move into water independence, the technological hurdles are not quite as steep as launching rockets into space or designing and manufacturing thousands of electric cars. And because Flint is already undergoing a long-term water crisis, those making machines to address the crisis can likely find labs at local universities to help test the water their machines produce to ensure it is not only safer than Flints poisoned water, but safer than anything available, even in a bottle. Below is a list of makerspaces in Michigan that likely have the tools and talent, and perhaps even the business acumen to approach and overcome this crisis. Solving it will not only provide them with viable small businesses, but will also highlight for a wider audience the growing role in their community their makerspaces play as important local institutions. An introduction to atmospheric water generators via Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator LocalOrg, where this article first appeared, seeks to explore local solutions to global problems by empowering people locally with education and technology to not only survive, but to thrive. Stay tuned for new things in the works with EcoloBlue Alternatives for these areas should match the economic constraints of the people. We have invented a new form of water jug. It uses a special nanotechnology that removes more than 95% of lead, plus all pathogens, and common water contaminants. We are awaiting testing results but expect it to be far more economical than a Brita up to 10 x more efficient. We are preparing a crowdfund campaign where every pledge for a filter jug will also gift a second jug to a lead-affected district. We would appreciate any help we can get to publicise our effort. Please contact me if you can help.

'For some reason, it seemed wrong to let the year end without levying one more fine,' said Commissioner Roger Goodell, adding that the season now feels 'officially complete.' 'This way, we put a nice cap on things and can start fining and suspending afresh next year.' After meeting with Goodell, Suh told reporters he thought the fine was 'ridiculous and unfair,' but agreed it did sort put a nice button on the season. 
2	BREAKING: Beloved Fox News Personality Booted... Mystery Surrounds Decision This election cycle, Fox News has come under heavy fire from conservatives and Republicanswith near-constant debates erupting about who the network has been favoring. While some Republicans have accused the network of being obvious Trump pushers, others have accused it of silence Trump and his supporters. The latest news to spark the debate involves Fox News host Andrea Tantaros, who has been temporarily taken off of the air due to contract issues. Issues have arisen regarding Andreas contract, and Fox News Channel has determined it best that she take some time off, a statement released by Fox News commented. She is still under contract with the network. Many have questioned whether this has something to do with Tantaros pro-Trump stance. They have been doing this, Tantaros commented recently of the people who want her off the air. Specifically, Charles Cooke, who is a writer for National Review, he tweeted out that I should give my job to somebody else. Also, I saw a tweet, it was a meme by Kevin Williamson of National Review trying to make me seem stupid. Though no official statement has linked Tantaros suspension to her pro-Trump views, its hard to eliminate the question. What do you think?

1	Second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill expressed his confidence in the Dolphins after minicamp Tuesday, claiming that he believes this team could win almost any number of games next year. With the talent on this squad, Im quite optimistic that we could definitely win anywhere from one to eight games this season, said Tannehill. It may sound crazy in June, but a zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, or seven-win season isnt out of the realm of possibility this year. Tannehill also told reporters that he believed the Dolphins had it in them to put together a fairly solid losing streak. 
1	Saying that an insincere feminine touch would do him a world of good, sources confirmed Monday that local man Jeff Cooper needs the type of emotional support only a woman can feign. Ive tried to be there to manufacture support and understanding for Jeff, but theres only so much sympathy a regular friend can fakehe needs the convincing facade of tenderness and compassion of someone special, said the 44-year-olds longtime friend Peter Shaw, adding that, while he is always there to pretend to listen to Cooper, it simply isnt the same as a womans fabricated affection. He could really use the plausible facsimile of care and understanding of a woman to help get him back up on his feet. I think it would really pick him up. Shaw added that seeing his friend in such a state makes him all the more thankful for the illusion of warmth and love he goes home to every night. 
2	BREAKING: Kanye West Announces Hell Leave The United States Because Of Racism Recently, rapper and egomaniac Kanye West made headlines after a racist comment was directed at his fianc Kim Kardashian. The incident led to Kanye punching a teenager in the face. According to reports, Kim was entering a medical building in California when the teenager called her a n-word lover. After being told that he should not use the word, the teenager allegedly threatened to murder Kim. When Kanye heard of the news, he walked up to the teen and punched him in the face. Now, it appears that the rapper is threatening to leave the United States, claiming that he is dreading explaining to his daughter the negativity in American culture, society, and history. According to West, weve got enough money to buy our own island or some sh*t. Ill be damned if I raise my daughter around ignorance and flat-out blatant racism. What do you think? Would you be upset if Kanye left the country?

The victory is not what has people talking however; it is the ridiculous (and cringe-worthy) way that she reacted to it. Twitter exploded during Hillarys victory speech when she decided to play Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys as her victory song. She quickly became a source of amusement on Twitter. We can be grateful for at least one thingits becoming easier and easier to see through Hillarys nonsense. Marlena (@marlenarose9) April 20, 2016 Horla_Gold (@Adesakinolaolu2) April 20, 2016 
3	Are Police One Of The Mental Casualties Of The New World Order?Bernie Suarez First, without question there are still excellent police officers throughout America that go to work every day and carry themselves in a professional manner. Unfortunately these good and well-meaning police officers are having to bear the weight and the burden placed on them by other so-called bad police. But what exactly is underneath all of this? Even police that act violently often mean well but have rationalized their own behavior to justify what they do. Lets examine this closer. Police, like our military men and women who are forced into situations they would rather not be in, are now being counted on to carry out over-reactive injustices on American citizens. Every day we are hearing about police shooting, killing, tasering and beating to death Americans (and even their dogs) who had no charges against them, were not even read their Miranda rights and didnt get a chance to be heard in front of a jury of their peers. The stories of police executions nationwide are almost daily. So what can be said about this phenomenon? It appears that in many if not most cases the police officer genuinely thought that what they were doing was justified, however irrational that may sound. Note that these officers do have a cognitive train of thought that justifies what they do. This train of thought is no longer random (not that it ever was). Police are now trained to think in a way that is very dangerous to all Americans. Whether its the man reaching for his cell phone only to get shot and killed because the officer sees a gun, or whether its the person simply running away from the police. The person running away doesnt realize that the police officer sees things dramatically different from how civilians see it. To bridge that gap of perception Hollywood regularly feeds the masses a long list of TV Cop shows and police activity based movies. This effective strategy empowers the police to do as much as they can get away with, hoping the (TV watching) public will connect with police perspective. In this modern society which has perfected the art of mind control, it shouldnt require too far a stretch of the imagination to realize that police are trained by some of the most effective mind training systems in existence. Imagine what its like to be trained into thinking that anyone in your own country can be a suspect, a criminal or a threat to your life. Under any other circumstances this would be considered a clinical disorder of paranoia. But what about when your job requires you to be paranoid? What if you are an officer and you genuinely believe that mans cell phone to be a gun? Who is responsible for this paranoia which has led to the murder of Americans on an almost daily basis nationwide? Did anyone confront the Nazis about their potential mental disorders? Would anyone have listened? This police violence phenomenon has put police nationwide into a position which can now be arguably described as a position which involuntarily, systematically, and gradually is turning otherwise good men and women into mentally deranged zombies exclusively operating to protect and enforce an inhuman, immoral and robotic legal system that enforces laws and rules which have no moral, logical, or reasonable justification. This disconnect from humanity that police are being forced to practice is psychologically unsustainable to the average person. In order for police to maintain mental homeostasis and continue feeling like themselves, they need to internalize and reconcile the behavior they are exhibiting, look to each other for moral support in whatever actions they take and develop some kind of thought pattern and camaraderie that allows for these behaviors. Ever notice how police actually sound different in their thought patterns and speech? That is because they actually do think differently. Many judges and attorneys also deal with this phenomenon. Police, however, are tasked with putting their lives on the line to defend the same legal system that judges and attorneys defend and uphold every day. I recall working as a doctor years ago and how all my doctor friends and co-workers agreed on the doctor paradigm. This is about paradigms, and police face the most troubling mental paradigm training. To solve this police violence problem one must first acknowledge that these paradigms exist throughout our society. We could be talking about the military paradigm, the bankers paradigm or the real-estate paradigm. We call them careers but these can be viewed as lifestyles. From a psychological point of view, I offer the concept of paradigms. The focus here is on the police paradigm which is shifting to a dangerous area because of how it is triggering unpredictable violent behavior on the part of many officers nationwide. Should we be surprised by this? No, we should not. We know from previous psychology experiments that if humans are put in a position where a perceived authority figure commands a person to do something they would otherwise not do, humans will often do these acts of evil because something happens in our thought process that shifts the guilt and responsibility of our own actions onto the power figure giving us the orders. The classic Milgram experiment of 1961 among other psychology experiments have shown that humans can be encouraged to inflict pain and anguish on other innocent people without feelings of remorse. Think about this, the authorities and control systems have been aware of this phenomenon for many years now. Imagine what kind of mind and behavior control systems they have now and how desperately these practices would be needed today in the military and police training systems, without which they would never get their new world order. Its important to note that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) the official American Psychiatric Association rule book for defining mental disorders states that a Mental Disorder is characterized by a behavior or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual that reflects an underlying psychobiological dysfunction. Exclusions have been historically applied to account for the (social) context of the behavior. DSM essentially is saying that if you obeyed authority, then you are not crazy or have a mental disease. I differ with this idea and believe we have to take into consideration the entire situation. What should we call it when an entire system is built to collectively apply an unstable psychological mental process (or paradigm) into the persons mind? Perhaps the time has come to rewrite a natural medicine brand of psychology that does not hide the truth about human behavior into modern-day contexts so as to shield the larger systems of evil and oppression. Why should we subscribe to any set of rules about what constitutes normality and mental disorders when the rule book is being drafted by the very control system that looks to keep the overall prison planet agenda intact? Just recently it was reported that the American Psychiatric Association now considers the behavior of self photographing (commonly referred to taking selfies) as a mental disorder. This new disorder, of course, will be treatable with pharmaceutical medication. With claims such as these can we continue to trust the DSM and the APA to tell us what is and isnt a mental disorder? Even more interesting is the newer definitions of mental disorder that the DSM is now implementing. New definitions are said to be highly subjective and focus on the biological definition confirmed not with biology but with subject lists of behavior observations. The depth of this growing problem of subjectively defining what mental disorder is without actual proof, should not surprise anyone aware of the new world order agenda. Let us no longer kid ourselves or be afraid to confront the evil that surrounds us. America is diving deeper and deeper into a very dangerous and violent police state. And the soldiers carrying out the mission dont think like you do. You will have to reconcile what is at the root of these societal problems. This is but one angle of the problem we must all deal with. Ultimately, tyranny and fascism is a mental disease where the person is acting in a disconnected manner to that of his or her fellow human. We are dealing with a control system whose own psychiatry text books state that a person who inflicts suffering and pain upon themselves has a mental disorder, yet that same person can inflict the same pain and suffering on another and not be considered mentally handicapped. Doesnt that say something about our own violent nature? Violence really is a diseased state of mind and we are now surrounded by violence. This diseased state of humanity is being expressed in many different ways including wars, invasions, prisons, environmental terrorism, state-sponsored terrorism and the ultra violent police state among many other ways. We need a collective effort to pinpoint police to a proper starting point. If I could say one thing to police it would be that we need them all on our side. We want to see those officers who are honest and respectful of humanity and freedom to stand up tall and wave your hand. You, the honest, respectful and honorable officer who has integrity, are desperately needed now. Like the call for a few good men, we really do need a few good men to step up. At the recent Bundy Ranch confrontation we saw sheriffs, veterans and many others who were willing to step up and be counted. We need likeminded police officers throughout our entire nation not brainwashed zombies willing to pull the trigger and murder Americans who transgress the corrupt legal system. Police must realize that the life, safety and well-being of a person is more valuable than the legal system even if they know the person has done something illegal. They must realize Americans are not terrorists and Americans love good, honest cops. Like any other job, career, lifestyle or paradigm, police will upon leaving their job and moving on, see the world from the humanity (non-police) point of view again. Those that have been in the military are familiar with the so-called return to civilian life. This return to civilian life should remind us of the dangers of departure from civilian life and the mental consequences that come with it. In China recently, at least one police officer wasmurdered and four others seriously injured by an angry mob who felt it was justice after one of the corrupt officers murdered an innocent man with a hammer. Clearly many would argue that the officer who committed the murder deserved it, but can the same be said of the other officers who assisted or stood by? Or were these corrupt officers a victim of this very engineered police psychosis we speak of? Unfortunately police are but one of the victims of the police state and are also collateral damage on the road to tyranny, as are the countless civilians who will die in the implementation of the new world order. Perhaps our society will grow in such a way that we examine police from a more psychological standpoint. A solution that would both identify and purge the engineered and existing underlying mental instability that currently hides within the ranks. Bernie Suarez is an activist, critical thinker, radio host, musician, M.D, Veteran, lover of freedom and the Constitution, and creator of the Truth and Art TV project, where this first appeared. He also has a background in psychology and highly recommends that everyone watch a documentary titled The Century of the Self. Bernie has concluded that the way to defeat the New World Order is to truly be the change that you want to see. Manifesting the solution and putting truth into action is the very thing that will defeat the globalists.

3	Will the US Economy Collapse in 2016? Predictions and PreparationsBy Eric Blair It seems like the alternative media always predicts that an economic collapse is coming. In many ways weve been right, but in many ways weve been wrong. Sure, mathematically, the debt-based monetary system is headed for disaster, and clearly certain parts of the economy are already experiencing major declines. However, we have to admit that our breathless annual predictions of a major economic collapse have been wrong. I guess it all depends how you define economic collapse. The oil industry is currently experiencing a collapse. Brick and mortar retail is in collapse. Fast food is also hemorrhaging. And financial institutions are shedding jobs faster than ever. If youre in one of these fields, you probably feel like the collapse is happening all around you. Yet the value of the dollar remains relatively stable (for now) and parts of the US economy continue to grow. For example, Amazons revenue grew23% in the last quarter, Star Wars is setting global records in theaters and with licensed merchandise, organic food is crushing it, and services like Uber and Airbnb are exploding.And of course the businesses of medicine, war, and policing always seem to be booming. My point is that the economy always has winners and losers. Collapse or no collapse, there will be some industries that are contracting while others are expanding. Our duty is to identify the pitfalls and opportunities in the current climate to position ourselves to survive and thrive. I think a dramatic economic collapse is possible but not probable in 2016. At minimum, however, the United States will likely experience a recession in 2016 even using the governments phony numbers. This will be painful to a great many people and it will dramatically acceleratethe timeline for systematic collapse. Yet I believe there are still enough sectors with abundance and consumer demand to delay widespread collapse. Also, the unbelievably low price for oil can subsidize the US consumer economy for years if it continues. That said, the Overstock CEO is prepping for an economic zombie apocalypse with gold and food for his employees. If you read this website, Zero Hedge and many others, you probably understand all of the ways the system is doomed. High public debt and taxes; jobs being outsourced and automated; Wall Street swaps, derivatives and high-frequency trading; a Baby Boomer generation retires while their unemployed grandchildren are buried in college debt. Ominous clouds, indeed. Michael Burry, the real-life market prophet from The Big Short, recently told New York Magazine that a bigger crisis than 2008 is looming because too-big-to-fail banks have only gotten bigger and central banks have lost control of the economys risk pricing mechanism interest rates. Where do we stand now, economically? What makes you most nervous about the future? Toxic Burry calls our situation. Agreed. Its not a matter of ifthe economy will experience a major illness, its merely a matter of when. The symptoms are already spreading. But I think weve got at least another year before any large-scale breakdown of the economy. This is great news since it gives us plenty of time to adapt and prepare. We put together a detailed special report on how we plan to survive and thrive in current economic conditions.Itcovers tips and tactics to simplify your finances, to get healthier, to diversify your income, to produce and store food and much more. Additionally, we reveal the areas and opportunities that we believe have potential for growth in a bad economy. We dont want our readers to be victims of the coming collapse. We want you to survive and thrive. The special report cannot be purchased anywhere but its FREE for our email subscribers. Eric Blair writes for selfnewsPost.com. This article may be freely shared with author attribution and source link. I need to know the EXACT day the US economy and the dollar will collapse. It is collapsing TODAY, even as we speak. Would it make sense to move to canada from usa? If usa collapsed then would canada be a safe place to go? Where would people move? Where would we store money? If collapse in USA happened then how would people pay tp get pm a plane and leave? Would citizens be able to get their money from bank or would it be impossible? Would cash be useless? Would it be use less in canada? I live in a developing country, not involved that much with world politics, and here, as in every other part of the world, we are beginning to feel the inexorable squeeze waning employment, soaring food prices, medications too expensive to buy, a rapidly deteriorating medical and health system, and on and on. So my conclusion is that there is nowhere to run. Best stay where you are and prepare the best you can. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American people. P.T. Barnum Even in this late hour, there are still oceans of hopelessly ignorant, and clueless fools who proclaim through some warped and deranged thinking and MSM indoctrination that: Since a massive financial collapse hasnt happened yet, it will never happen. I get hate mail all the time from these pathetic and brainless infants living in complete denial of reality. Its like saying because, its not summer yet that, it will never be summer! Unbelievable. These are the same off-spring of the fools that said the market will never crash in 1929. Its truly staggering how ignorant, clueless and cowardly some of these sheep are. Whats even more alarming is they are out on the roads driving ! And when not if, it happens theyll be the ones screaming and screeching from the rooftops Why didnt someone tell me this was coming !!! and Sadly,the government cant operate because they dont receive taxes,so either they send their officials go hunting people down to collect taxes for them to barely survive, while the well-informed and well-prepared citizens citizens has to defend his resources from those Leftist cry babies that were warned all along for years,eventually they become the looting mass that the responsible citizen ends up cleaning them up because the government will be fighting to remain afloat and wont be able to attend or come to anyones rescue ,while everyone else is trying to survive and defend their families and whatever resources they have..Sad indeed,but those sheeps never listened or cared about the warning signs or calling.Leaving the VIGILANT PATRIOT CITIZEN ELIMINATING ALL THE SOCIAL THREAT from the masses of looters.But dont get me wrong,also the government will be doing cleansing trying to restore order and we know thats how nasty a desperate government could go into those lengths..THERE WAS NEVER A FREE LUNCH IN THIS WORLD.I DONT KNOW WHY LEFTIST AND OBLIVIOUS PEOPLE COULD EVER UNDERSTAND THIS.. Its not just ignorance, its WILLFUL ignorance. Many people know the truth, but pride and hatred of the other side that might have the correct answer keeps them from doing or supporting the right thing. Fantasies See theearnings of Apple, Microsoft, Boeing, defence industry et el. Robust demand too. Why will USD fail? Currency is just a medium for trading with confidence attached. For US, 20 Trillion debt is just a local currency loan unlike for other countries. Long term Euro future uncertain in view of the impending refugee crises and slowing down economy. So, Euro will never be a substitute. Yuan or Yen far more unlikely for the obvious reasons. Till America attracts world brain from all over the world, it will remain a powerhouse. The problem isnt the system, its politicians. Politicians (especially Democrats) cannot function without promising free stuff to those who vote for them. That free stuff not only ACTUALLY costs money, but it disincentivizes more and more citizens to actually work. Not only that, but every 4 years the same politicians have to up the ante as people who get free stuff always want more. Ryno youre right insofar as your blame politicians for ruining the system of your society. The Clintons deregulated wall street, where the Bush Administration caused the biggest jobs crises for the country in modern history, and whose economic and financial policies allowed a recession to happen. Where you are wrong is your reference to free stuff as being a burden on the society; that telling people its free disincentives them. Your error lies in the lacking of common knowledge where the free things you are referring to are not free, they are nominated as public goods by society, and are collectively funded by society through tax. The nations that practice democratic socialism all have the highest standards of living, the most intelligent citizenry, the highest levels of civil happiness, and are FAR MORE DEMOCRATIC than the US (which is evidently an oligarchy). When your wages are the same as they were 40 years ago, despite inflation and the increased costs of living (again, republicans and democrats to blame), and when the 0.1% own as much as the middle class, I think perhaps more blame lays with the system the politicians helped create, and not public goods. I guess when youre not starving to death, you can sit back and think about things and get a job ya bum Im eating about 500 calories or less a day, myself. Its all I can get here in Mississippi. Yep always hedge your bets by saying possible and maybe. This way hes right no matter what happens. However Im betting against even the likely experience a recession in 2016 (note he didnt say it *would* happen, so hes not wrong if it doesnt). Im going to say it is not going to happen. Not that its impossible, but so unlikely as to be not worth considering. Still lets take a look at something: It seems like the alternative media always predicts that an economic collapse is coming. In many ways weve been right, but in many ways weve been wrong. I see the same tired prediction literally every year. And every year, it fails to occur. Even the great recession of 09 as bad as that was was not a collapse of the system (not even the great depression of the 30s). I also see the same reasons given government debt, faked government numbers, etc. If you keep predicting the same thing, and it keeps failing to occur, perhaps you should look at your analysis and change it. In many ways weve been right. In what ways, specifically? How is it possible we grow in wealth and get rich day after day while we are limited in resources.We have only one planet to extract wealth from and that is not limitless.This is capitalism big BUG so the collapse of US economy as the mother of capitalism is inevitable. Ryno Lascavio is correct in his analogy that Public goods is not Free Stuff, but rather paid for by tax payers. More accurate analyses would be to compare common household debt verses income. When a household interest on debt exceeds annual income, that household can no longer pay their debt/interest on revenue collected, but rather, forced to borrow the difference from an outside source, seriously increasing the ratio of debt verses income, until the debt becomes unsustainable. A prudent household resolution would be to cut back on expenses, or increase their income. Of course, the debt accumulated by our government is somewhat more complex; the cost of interest and government services far exceeds taxes collected. The difference between a household and the government is, a households debt is controlled by the actual owner, whereas, government debt is controlled by elected officials i.e., its not their money. Until we shrink the federal government, and turn authority back to the states, federal debt will continue to increase. In reality, I believe that we are faced with a scenario of to-little, to-late. There is no magic wand that will fix the damage caused by our elected officials. The political system has become totally corrupt, being raped by self-aggrandizing bureaucrats, who seem to enrich their bank accounts by 10s of millions of dollars on a public servants salary. My professional overview; this economy will explode before the end of this year. 
2	WARNING: American Citizens Contracting Dangerous Diseases From Illegals Being Sent Across The Country By Obama Well, they dont call it the border crisis for nothing. To no surprise, the influx of illegal immigrants into our country as of late has started causing problems around the countryor more specificallyspreading communicable diseases to which many of our children havent been immunized for. According to Brietbart, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reportedly sent illegal immigrant children with these diseases to dispersed places across the country that are being forced to house them. In what ABC deems a breakdown of the medical screening processes at an Arizona housing facility. Apparently, the immigrants were never cleared for travel and placement at a temporary shelter. Now, many children with fevers and pneumonia are being hospitalized. According to reports, Ventura Naval Base suffered an outbreak of pneumonia and influenza among the accompanied minors inside the shelter. In Texas, there have been two confirmed cases of swine flu. What do you think? Are things officially out of control? Watch the video below and let us know your thoughts. 
2	1 Tweet Could Spell The End Of Cruz And Rubio... Trump Is Definitely Smiling GOP front-runner Donald Trump has made it clear that he believes he has the support of Latino voters, even though liberals have repeatedly tried to claim that he has distanced himself from them. Now, the numbers are starting to back up Trumps assertion. In fact, Trumps stance on immigrant didnt prevent him from winning the Republican Latino vote in Nevada. He won 45% of the vote, while Cruz won 29 percent and Rubio took just 18 percent. Trumps competitors and critics are now scratching their heads, wondering just how many votes he might actually receive from the Latino community. Support continues to surface, and tweets like the one below from Cuban-American Eduardo Gonzalez show that Trump has clearly tapped into a powerful set of voters. Tim Mak (@timkmak) February 24, 2016 This could also been trouble for Rubio and Cruz, who were in many ways counting on securing the Latino vote. What do you think? Do you support Trump and his policies on immigration?

2	MMA Fighter Kills 1 Of 4 Thugs Who Broke Into His House If youre going to pick someone to mess with, you probably shouldnt pick a famous mixed martial artist. Four gang members recently learned that the hard way when they attempted to break into the New Mexico home of Joseph Torrez at 2 a.m. on January 1, 2014. When Torrez saw the four men, he confronted them head-on, and ultimately ended up killing one of them. Now, prosecutors have ruled that he was well within his rights to do so, and theyve decided not to charge him for the death of the criminal he killed. The Las Cruces District Attorneys office found that Torrez was within his rights to kill 25-year-old Sal Garces. Reports indicate that additional evidence from the Dona Ana County Sheriffs Office helped to exonerate Torrez. The four men involved in the incident were identified as Sal Garces (25), Raymond Garces (19), Nathan Avalos (20) and Leonard Calvillo (22). Two of the men were armed, one with a crude shank, and the other with a knife he grabbed in the home. Amazingly, Torrez was able to fight all of them off. He was fighting for his life, C.J. McElhiney, Torrezs attorney, said in a statement. These men definitely got what they had coming, but once again highlights the importance of being able to protect yourself in your own home. For those of us who are not MMA fighters, our Second Amendment rights could save us in a situation like this. What do you think? Do you support the right to self-defense? 
1	New mommy Alison Leuchter is 'a lot prettier,' Courtney and Brady Leuchter announced Monday, moments after old mommy Joan Leuchter ordered them to put away the Nintendo and do their homework. Brady Leuchter (left) says new mommy Alison Leuchter is 'so pretty.' 'Our new mommy at Daddy's house is so pretty. She has long hair and wears pretty dresses, and she has a tan even when it's snowing out,' 9-year-old Brady Leuchter said of his father's former secretary and new wife. 'She's so pretty, she could be on TV.' 'And our new mommy never makes us turn off the Nintendo,' Brady added. 'She lets us play all day Saturday, as long as we keep the door shut.' Courtney, 8, had similarly positive things to say about her new mommy. 'Our mommy-mommy is always crying. But our Alison-mommy smiles so much. She giggles whenever Daddy says anything,' Courtney said. 'And she has lots of pretty gold bracelets and necklaces. Plus, she lets me put on her lipstick, even though my old mommy says I can't wear makeup until I'm older.' Alison, a 28-year-old nursing student at Butler Community College, married John Leuchter, 36, on Jan. 3, three months to the day after his divorce from Joan, also 36, was finalized. The children now live with their mother in a cramped two-bedroom apartment and spend weekends with their father in their spacious former home. 'I'm thrilled to be with John, and I honestly don't even mind his kids at all,' Alison said. 'In fact, it's kind of fun to have them around the house a couple days a week. But hopefully someday, John and I can have some of our own.' Joan Leuchter At first, the children didn't like Alison, protesting when she moved her belongings into the bedroom formerly occupied by Joan. But after months of enduring their old mommy's crying jags, their opinion has changed. They say they find their new mommy not only 'prettier,' but 'funner,' too. 'Mommy-mommy is always saying she has a headache and we have to quiet down,' Brady said. 'But our new mommy let us be as loud as we want. She even let us go outside at night to have a screaming contest once. She's the best.' Among the things the children are permitted to do during weekends with their daddy and new mommy: eat Cap'n Crunch for lunch and dinner, ride their bikes in the street, and watch television until 10 p.m. The weekends come as a welcome break from Monday to Friday, when Joan makes them do their homework before playing, help wash dishes after meals, and go to bed no later than 8:30. In addition, Joan frequently refuses to buy the children new toys and clothes in an effort to 'make ends meet.' 'Right now, I'm just barely getting by, working two 30-hour-a-week jobs without health insurance,' Joan said. 'So, unfortunately, I can't buy the kids all the things I'd like to. But hopefully, by the fall, I'll be getting enough hours at one of the jobs to be considered full-time and get full health and dental. That'd save us some money, especially with Brady's asthma medicine, and then maybe we could loosen the belt and buy some nice things.' Even daddy has been nicer since the arrival of the new-and-improved mommy. 'Daddy never used to take us anyplace, because he said our old mommy was boring and didn't like to do anything,' Courtney said. 'But now we do stuff every weekend. On Saturday, me and daddy and Brady and Alison-mommy are going to the mall to see Snow Day and get ice cream.' 'Alison-mommy said if I keep bugging daddy, he'll put a hot tub in the backyard,' Courtney added. 'She already bought three new swimming suits and even tried them on for us. She looked so pretty in them, like a beautiful model. I love old mommy, but I think I love new mommy even more.'

'In 98 percent of cases where aerobics are being performed, lousy music can be clearly heard in the vicinity,' study head Dr. Ronald Braun said. 'Whether it's 'Gonna Make You Sweat' by C&C Music Factory or 'Another Night' by Real McCoy, expect to find songs that are in the lousy-to-crappy range wherever there is an aerobics class taking place.' When asked if there is any link between the lousy music and the vacuous, airheaded superficiality of aerobics enthusiasts, Braun replied, 'Definitely.'

[VIDEO] Phil Mutz is known for sharing his DIY projects to help transform ordinary objects into extraordinarily unique things. Recently, Phil published a project that can help transform your living room and clean your garage at the same time. Sounds too good to be true, doesnt it? This rustic ottoman is one of the better do-it-yourself projects weve seen, so we simply had to share. All you need to get started is an old tire, wood, screws, rope, glue and sealant (and a few tools to get started).

2	American Airlines Kicks Passenger Off Flight For Insulting Christianity American Airlines took a stand for Christianity today. A passenger was tossed off a plane at La Guardia Airport on Tuesday after flipping out because airline workers wished him a merry Christmas. The man was waiting to board American Airlines Flight 1140 to Dallas when a cheerful gate agent began welcoming everyone with the Yuletide greeting while checking boarding passes. The grumpy passenger, who appeared to be traveling alone, barked at the woman, You shouldnt say that because not everyone celebrates Christmas. Dont say, Merry Christmas! the man shouted before brushing past her. Dont say, Merry Christmas! the man raged before lecturing the attendants and the pilot about their faux pas. We fully support American Airlines now. They have our business for life. Comment yes if you support this airlines stand for Christianity. 
3	Genetic Weapons--Can Your DNA Kill You?Janet C. Phelan If this sounds like a script treatment for a Hollywood version of a Philip K. Dick novel, consider this: The Secretary of States name is Hillary Clinton and her directives to embassies were uncovered in a 2010 WikiLeaks cable release. The President in this scenario is Barack Obama and the Secret Service unit pledged to protect his DNA is a group of Navy stewards, as revealed in the 2009 book by Ronald Kessler, entitled In the Presidents Secret Service. Our governments DNA obsession was again in the news this week as the Supreme Court handed down a decision, worthy of penning by George Orwell, that law enforcement collection of arrestees DNA is not an invasion of privacy. The decision likened DNA to fingerprints, neatly sidestepping the fact that a persons complete genetic makeup is contained in those drops of blood that the police can now collect with impunity and without fear of a civil rights lawsuit. Beyond the obvious surface concerns that this decision violates both the Fourth Amendment and the subsequent exclusionary rule, there are further, deeper concerns as to why our government is so keen on collecting our DNA. The stated aim of furthering crime solution becomes tinny when one realizes that the government is also collecting the DNA of newborns. President Bush signed The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007, which formally codified the process that the federal government has been engaged in for years, screening the DNA of all newborn babies in the U.S. Since we are not yet threatened with the spectre of toddlers robbing banks or committing rape, one must look further to discern what is the big deal about our DNA. Decades before Dr. Nathansons highly publicized warning, the U.S. Government was already hard at work in scientific endeavors to find gene and ethnic specific weapons. In an article entitled Ethnic Weapons, published in the Military Review in 1970, the author, Dr. Carl A. Larson, was found rhapsodizing about the state of technology facilitating the targeting of ethnic groups with covert weapons. Wrote Larson: Surrounded with clouds of secrecy, a systematic search for new incapacitating agents is going on in many laboratories. The general idea, as discussed in open literature, was originally that of minimum destruction. However, his tone soon changes and he writes, somewhat chillingly, that It is quite possible to use incapacitating agents over the entire range of offensive operations, from covert activities to mass destruction. Larson concludes with the following stark declaration: The enzymatic process for RNA production has been known for some years but now the factors have been revealed which regulate the initiation and specificity of enzyme production. Not only have the factors been found, but their inhibitors. Thus, the functions of life lie bare to attack. (emphasis added) Dr. Wouter Bassons research for Project Coast, the biological and chemical warfare unit under the apartheid government in South Africa, was known to be focused on developing a blacks only bioweapon. Basson, who was tied to intelligence facilities and labs in both Great Britain and the U.S., has been reported to have been successful in his endeavors, which were taking place back in the seventies. According to sources close to Basson, his research entailed locating substances which would attach onto melanin. Melanin is present in high degrees in darker colored skin. Since Bassons work on the melanin project, the rates of hypertension and diabetes have skyrocketed in people of colorspecifically those of African descent and also indigenous, brown skinned populations. In some communities, the incidence of these diseases is now reported as up to 50%. Consonant with the reports that this disease-producing melanin-related substance has been leaked into processed food, one finds the spiking rates of the silent killers, hypertension and diabetes, to be present in the developed world, where people eat more processed food. In rural Africa, for example, where the population eats food from natural sources, the rates of diabetes and hypertension have remained constant over the years. The mapping of the human genome satisfied all the requisites for creating gene specific weapons. Geneticists have maintained that developing an ethnic weapon is actually far more difficult than creating a gene weapon to target a specific person. The differences between groups are apparently much smaller than the differences between individuals and therefore the creation of a genetic weapon to target, for example, a head of state or a President is far less challenging than creating such a weapon to target an entire race. The FBI admits to a database of around 13 million offenders, many only arrested and never charged with a crime. According to Twila Brase, President of Citizens Council for Health Freedom, around 4 million samples (filed with the babies names) are collected each year by State Health Departments. Some states, such as Minnesota, have been collecting newborn DNA samples since the mid-eighties. Minnesota alone is reported to have a newborn database of over 1.5 million samples. The delivery systems for a DNA weapon would be easy: Everything. Because the weaponized genetic material would only affect the target, the weapon could be leaked into the food supply, the water supply or sprayed in an airborne delivery system, such as the inexplicable chemtrails that are now blanketing our skies. And should a low profile target suddenly die, who would ever know that he died of a gene based weapon? Should the target be high profile, like perhaps a Hugo Chavez or Canadas Jack Layton, who would be able to trace a deadly disease back to a weapon targeting his DNA? The insistence of the U.S. Government that it is only trying to protect its citizens from a terrorist threat is the perfect cover of plausible deniability. Under the mantle of protection, our rights have been systematically stripped away while wars abroad have been launched against the Semitic peoples of the Middle East. Genetic based weapons are another tool in the plausible deniability eugenics tool box. They may, in fact, be one of the most salient tools.

1	Citing lackluster ratings in an increasingly competitive cable market, C-SPAN announced Monday that it will beef up the cast of characters on its daily congressional broadcasts with 'Mr. Slotnik,' a gruff but lovable landlord who owns the Capitol Building where sessions of Congress take place. Former <I>Three's Company</I> star Norman Fell (inset), who now plays C-SPAN's 'Mr. Slotnik,' the cranky, mop-waving landlord who drives his congressional tenants up the wall. C-SPAN programmers are hopeful that the cantankerous Slotnik character, played by veteran sitcom actor Norman Fell, will inject a much-needed element of comic relief into the long-running legislative series. 'Many TV viewers are curious about Congress, but simply have no inclination to sit through countless hours of dry, minutiae-filled legislative discussion,' said C-SPAN vice-president of programming Kenneth Silvers. 'The added comic element of Mr. Slotnik and his humorous outbursts will help viewers stay interested in the lawmaking process. Hopefully, he will also attract TV viewers who just need a laugh, even if they don't care about the U.S. government.' Slotnik made his debut on Friday's broadcast during a debate on a bill to allocate $4 million for the preservation of Florida wetlands. As Sen. Bob Graham (D-FL) was finishing a point about the economic viability of the resolution, Slotnik pounded on the doors to the Senate chamber and shouted, 'Will you keep it down in there!' He then stormed into the chamber onto the senate floor, where he began arguing with members of the Senate Select Committee On Aging. 'You deadbeat legislators are two months behind on the rent!' said the cranky, mop-waving Slotnik to the bi-partisan committee of legislators. 'If I don't have that money by Friday, I'll kick your butts so hard you'll taste my shoe polish for a week!' Slotnik then stormed out, accompanied by canned laughter. C-SPAN programmers are elated by viewers' strong response to Mr. Slotnik. 'Our focus groups consistently rate the new Slotnik character higher than any of the legislators, Senate or House,' Silvers said. 'And the decision to enhance congressional broadcasts with a laugh track has worked out even better than we had hoped.' Fell says his Slotnik character may seem gruff at first, but deep down he is a lovable softie. 'The role of Slotnik is a complex one for me,' the former Three's Company star said. 'He seems angry at the congressmen for their non-stop bill-proposing and coalition-building, but underneath it all, he is very proud of his tenants for having been elected to lead America.' Though widely tagged as 'risky' by TV industry insiders, C-SPAN's decision to add the Slotnik character is already paying off: The network earned its highest ratings in more than a decade for Wednesday's 'hammock' episode. In the episode, Slotnik, attempting to skip out on the tedious chore of fixing congressional plumbing and catch a nap on the sly, falls out of a hastily constructed hammock numerous times, repeatedly disrupting an important House Standing Agriculture Committee discussion of a proposal to increase federal subsidies to independent farmers. Said committee chair Pat Roberts (R-KS): 'No matter how hard he tried, Slotnik couldn't get a second of rest, as that hammock kept turning over and dumping him on the ground. I laughed so hard, I could barely keep track of which subsidies we were approving and which we weren't!' While most legislators have not been able to get enough of the irrepressible Slotnik and his antics, some are finding him hard to handle. 'My cake was ruined when Slotnik's hare-brained scheme to finance Medicare by raising and selling rare long-haired goats went awry,' said Sen. Frank Murkowski (R-AK). 'Now I may never graduate from chef school!' Sen. Fred Thompson (R-TN) agreed. 'That man is going to drive me bonkers,' he said. 'I'll never be in position to make a run for president in 2000 if he doesn't stop his incessant meddling. Look at what he did to my good tie!' Thompson then held up a silk tie full of holes. 'I told Slotnik that his plan to fix the laundry machine himself instead of paying for a professional was a recipe for disaster. But did he listen? Of course not!' If the strong ratings continue, C-SPAN plans next month to introduce 'Slim,' the Senate's streetwise, jive-talking sidekick. 
1	Troy Bartell, 22, former editor-in-chief of Boston University's student newspaper The Daily Free Press, said Monday that his once-prestigious paper is in 'free-fall,' and is now printing only 'ridiculous, brutally incompetent shit.' 'This is lousy, lousy journalism,' said Bartell, who still scours the paper's online edition for typos despite graduating in May 2006. 'The way they covered the School of Management's Casino Night this year was a slap in the face. Complete and utter fluff. Don't tell me what the people were wearing, damn ittell me who won the raffle at the end of the night, and what the prizes were.' Bartell reads some bullshit about the new DVD players in the College of Communication. 'You can tell that the new people onboard just don't give a shit, and believe me, that sort of thing starts at the top,' Bartell continued. Bartell, a journalism major who was promoted to editor-in-chief in January 2005 after one year as Campus Affairs editor, now works as a part-time receptionist for a Manhattan public-relations firm. Bartell had a distinguished career at the Free Press, breaking the news of the appointment of a new English Department chairman in 2004, and writing a three-part series on the revamped trash-can design in the student union. Believing that his tenure 'set a strong, rigorous example for quality news writing,' Bartell, who often travels back to Boston to attend college parties thrown by members of his old newspaper, is saddened that none of the staff has followed his example. Everything in the paper, he claims, from the coverage of the school's annual Activities Expo to the campus radio station-sponsored date auction, has been 'complete bullshit.' 'Without fail, every time I look at the Free Press, I just cringe with embarrassment,' Bartell said. 'Their reporting is so lax, they might as well print propaganda straight from the BU president's office. Oh Christ, don't give them any ideas, Bartell.' Bartell was particularly critical of the coverage of the School of Engineering's 'Welcome Back' Barbecue in September, saying that none of the hard-hitting questions were asked, such as whether vegetarian alternatives were available. Bartell's fears of a decline in journalistic integrity were further augmented by a profile of the new dining-services director, which failed to include information about the recent increase in meal-plan fees and the new two-pieces-of-fruit-per-student policy. '[New Editor-In-Chief] Casey [Aclin] has been a real disappointment,' Bartell said. 'In a story last Monday, instead of saying 'Dean of Students Charles Baker,' it just said 'Dean Baker.' That's a blatant disregard of Free Press style rules that never would have flown on my watch.' 'Never,' he continued. But the lowest point, Bartell said, came in December during the Student Union Assembly elections. 'I still have a lot of sources at the schoola lot,' Bartell said. 'From Day One of that fraudulent campaign, more than half of the candidates had been illegally leafletting the student union, which could result in fines. And what did my paper do with that bombshell? One graph in one story, no more. Talk about burying the lede. Where's the drive, the curiosity here?' The former editor-in-chief has repeatedly volunteered to return to the Free Press offices and educate the staff on proper news-writing and copyediting techniques, but no one has yet taken him up on his offers. Bartell said he's concerned for the future of the publication that he described as 'a labor of love that sustained me through my college years.' 'At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the entire student body began ignoring the news content all together, and only picked up the Free Press to do the crossword puzzle,' Bartell said.

1	Taking note of the dozen or so individuals standing in tight formation behind a row of linked steel barricades Tuesday night, sources confirmed that venue security at the Fraze Pavilion had drastically overestimated the desire of concertgoers to get close to the hard-rock band Cheap Trick. Back up, everybody! Everybody get back! said one security guard to a cluster of fans approximately 30 feet away, who reportedly were showing no inclination toward advancing on the stage and who, in some cases, remained sitting on blankets. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up! You got a pass? Band members and pass holders only! Just get back and let us do our job! Lets not have any problems. At press time, following the encore performance of I Want You To Want Me, eight members of the Pavilions security staff had formed a protective huddle around the band and were rushing the musicians to their tour bus so that they could safely depart the venue. 
2	Outrage After Melania Caught Doing THIS On New Years After eight years of having Michelle Obama as our nations first lady, many Americans are welcoming Melania Trump to the White House. Melania is beautiful, elegant, and invested in the success of this country. The Daily Caller reported that Melania arrived at New Years Eve party at her husbands Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida wearing a stunning black stress that has everyone talking. Melania looked absolutely stunning bringing in 2017and even liberals are giving her credit for it. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump also attended the part, as did Hollywood A-lister Sylvester Stallone and his wife. When asked about his New Years resolution, Trump was quick to respond. Make American Great Again, he commented. Okay? Ill do that one. The Trumps also caught national attention on Christmas, when they were photographed arriving at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea at 10:30 PM on Christmas Eve. The Episcopal Church is the same they married in eleven years ago. 
2	Woman Patriot Uses Second Amendment Right On Man Stealing Her Purse [VIDEO] Andre Dawson, a 27 year old man, tried to steal a purse from a woman. Little did he know she was armed with a gun. A few men saw him try to take the purse and tackled him. He was able to get away, and as he ran, the woman took a shot at him. The man falls to the ground, although it is unclear whether she actually hit him with the shot. This is why we have our second amendment right. Two great reasons are for protection and crime prevention. Do you think our country would be safer with more armed citizens?

2	BREAKING: Kenyan Government Releases Obamas Real Birth Certificate According to reports, the Office of the Principal Register of the Nyanza Province in Kenya has just released 11 documents concerning Barack Obamas birth and early childhood in the country. The papers have been requested by Americans for years, but the Kenyan Supreme Court finally just ordered authorities to release the documents based on a law on access to information. The papers indicate that Obama was actually born in Lamu, Kenya, more than a year before his father moved to Hawaii and met his mother. This information contradicts all the documents presented by the administration over the past few years. If the documents are deemed verifiable, they could prove that Obama had no legal right to become the American president in the first place. It also means that the American papers weve seen are all forged documents. What do you think? Is President Obama a liar? 
2	White House Aides Are Now Being Forced To Bow To Obama A photo has recently surfaced on the internet that is causing a lot of controversy. We all knew that Obama sees himself as the King, but this picture is just absurd. In the picture, we see two white house aides bowing down before Obama, as he sits arrogantly at his desk. Interpretations of this picture have ranged in different opinions. Some think that the aides merely dropped something on the ground, while others think that they are literally bowing before Obama. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below. 
3	U.S. Sends Military Personnel To ChadBrandon Turbeville As FOX News reports, President Barack Obama formally announced in a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner on Wednesday, May 21, 2014, the deployment of 80 U.S. military personnel to Chad under the pretense of helping locate the 300 Nigerian schoolgirls allegedly kidnapped by Boko Haram. The White House stated that These personnel will support the operation of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft for missions over northern Nigeria and the surrounding area. Lt. Col. Myles Caggins, the Pentagon spokesman, further explained that the military team will be composed mostly of Air Force personnel who will be responsible for operating unmanned, unarmed drones. These drones will be flying out of an airstrip in Chad, a country which shares a small portion of its Western border with Nigeria. Other military personnel will be acting as an armed security force to protect the team operating the drones. Obama stated that the team will remain in Chad as long as their presence is necessary. Justin Fishel of FOX points out that, while Global Hawk drones may have a longer range, Predator drones require a support team nearby in order to be operated effectively. However, it is apparent that a number of different drones will be utilized as USA TODAY states that The militarys Global Hawk drone, which can remain airborne for more than 28 hours, and the MC-12 Liberty reconnaissance plane are also part of the U.S. effort. As Armin Rosen of Business Insider writes, The fact that the soldiers are deploying to Chad could also be significant. Chad joined in the fight against Islamist extremists in neighboring Mali despite being one of the worlds poorest countries, and is a member of the United Nations Security Council. The deployment of U.S. troops to a regional stability-minded Nigerian neighbor, along with talk of combined security efforts among West African countries, indicates that the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram is increasingly viewed as a regional as opposed to specifically-Nigerian threat. More likely, however, is the possibility that Boko Haram is increasingly viewed as an readily-available scapegoat that will allow for the greater deployment of U.S. troops on the mineral and oil rich continent of Africa, gradually positioning an invading and occupying force on the ground using both Islamic terrorism and Humanitarian Intervention as an excuse. Such a commitment should immediately remind observers of the justification of the deployment of military aircraft and special operations forces to Uganda under the cleverly manipulated pretense of hunting for the phantom and possibly dead Joseph Kony. Clearly, Africa is being seen by the Anglo-Europeans as a geopolitical playground that bears a greater focus of their attention.

2	Obama Just Released 7,000 Prisoners Because of THIS: And Its Only The Beginning Of His Plan Obama just made his first move in his new plan to release 46,000 federal prisoners over the next year. This week he released the first 7,000. He claims that prisons are overcrowded. He would rather give early release to these people that committed federal crimes than pay to keep America safe. Why doesnt he use the $4,000,000 that went to flying him back and fourth for rounds of golf in March and April? Is his leisure more important than the countries safety? This is the last straw. Obama needs to be impeached before he does any more harm. Do you think Obama should deserves to join these criminals in prison for trying to destroy America? 
1	The staff and patrons of Manhattan watering hole P.J. Clarke's were only mildly surprised Monday night to learn that the gangly young man at the end of the bar grumbling about his occupation in a southern drawl was in fact Giants quarterback Eli Manning. 'Go into the family business, they told me, it's what we've prepared you forforfor your whole life,' the visibly unhappy Manning told bartender Mel Gilchrist, who 'really felt for the poor sap' even before recognizing Manning. 'But. But! They didn't tell me that people would hate me if I wasn't perfect I'm not perfect, y'know! I'm not, notPeytonand sure enough, they hate me. Not, though, not as much as I hate going to work every day.' Upon realizing exactly who Manning was, a sympathetic Gilchrist reportedly bought his next three rounds. 
1	At first glance, high school senior Lucas Faber, 18, seems like any ordinary gay teen. He's a member of his school's swing choir, enjoys shopping at the mall, and has sex with other males his age. But lately, a growing worry has begun to plague this young gay man. A gnawing feeling that, deep down, he may be a fundamentalist, right-wing Christian. 'I don't know what's happening to me,' Faber admitted to reporters Monday. 'It's like I get these weird urges sometimes, and suddenly I'm tempted to go behind my friends' backs and attend a megachurch service, or censor books in the school library in some way. Even just the thought of organizing a CD-burning turns me on.' Added Faber, 'I feel so confused.' The openly gay teen, who came out to his parents at age 14 and has had a steady boyfriend for the past seven months, said he first began to suspect he might be different last year, when he started feeling an odd stirring within himself every time he passed a church. The more conservative the church, Faber claimed, the stronger his desire was to enter it. 'It's like I don't even know who I am anymore,' the frightened teenager said. 'Keeping this secret obsession with radical right-wing dogma hidden away from my parents, teachers, and schoolmates is tearing me apart.' Faber's sock drawer is home to a number of illicit magazines he has secretly accepted from street preachers. According to Faber, his first experience with evangelical Christianity was not all that different from other gays his age. 'Sure, I looked at the Book of Leviticus once or twiceeverybody has,' Faber said. 'We all experiment a little bit with that stuff when we're growing up. But I was just a kid. I didn't think it meant anything.' Faber's instinct was to deny these early emotions. But recently, the Louisville teen admitted, the feelings have grown stronger, making him wonder more and more what life as a born-again right-wing fundamentalist would be like. 'The other week, I was this close to picketing in front of an abortion clinic,' the mortified teenager said, his eyes welling up with tears. 'I know it's wrong, but I wanted so badly to do it anyway. I even made one of those signs with photos of dead fetuses and hid it in my closet. I felt so ashamed, yet, at the same time, it was all strangely titillating.' Faber's parents, although concerned, said they're convinced their otherwise typical gay son is merely going through a conservative Christian phase. 'I caught him watching The 700 Club once when he thought he was alone in the house, and last week, I found some paperbacks from the Left Behind series hidden in his sock drawer,' his mother, Eileen Faber, said. 'I'm sure he'll grow out of it, but even if he doesn't, I will love and accept my son no matter what.' Faber's father was far less tolerant in his comments. 'No son of mine is going to try to get intelligent design into school textbooks,' Geoffrey Faber said. 'And I absolutely refuse to pay his tuition if he decides to go to one of those colleges like Oral Roberts University where they're just going to fill his head with a lot of crazy conservative ideas.' He added, 'I just want my normal gay son back.' 
3	Unhappy Green Economy: People + Planet = ProfitSomethings happening! Wherever you are in the world . if youre awake then listen! its time to help! Moves are afoot to replace our broken economy with something altogether different, and change our world forever. This is urgent because its about the future, and YOU can change the course. The UNs cult of Happinessand the plan to measure our well-being are just one part of a most audacious plan to measure and price EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF NATURE, so long as it provides a service. The new Green Economy is backed by bankers and the Fortune 500 and all members of the United Nations, and has begun to lead to the control of all resources, by financializing, and commodifying, what we hold to be sacred: nature, and US. This issue goes way beyond the political it breaks a fundamental moral code, and thats why I think its largely been kept out of the news. Its also the reason we can break this. The commodification of intangible assets caused by the Green Economy is already leading to new currencies forming, such as social credits; together with Identity Management, wellness profiling, and bio-sensor surveillance, this system would also facilitate social simulation on the grandest scale. The prize is to understand and predict our every move. An attempt to model the global ecosystem has already begun by FuturICT, backed by George Soros and his Institute for New Economic Thinking.The relevance of complexity science to economics was explored at INETs Bretton Woods Conference in 2011. So the sooner everyone clocks on to the full extent of Agenda 21, the better. its about much more than communitarianism, property rights, and carbon footprints! Agenda 21 means measuring and pricing all of nature, and all people, for profit. This requires global surveillance, such as measuring our well being. The economy is undergoing a staged collapse to institute a new economic regime. This is being achieved by incorporating newly defined asset classes (such as reputational capital) into national, and corporate, accounts. Two of the most important asset classes now being accounted for are natural and human/social capital. Led by globalists such as the United Nations, and World Bank, the New Economics is a world-wide movement, which is often called going beyond GDP. This movement is poised to put a price on your head you, and everyone else, will be accounted for in the new system of global accounts, along with prices for almost every aspect of nature even aspects we cant see. Carbon dioxide is the most famous of these intangible assets, but more obscure assets such as the value of a pleasing view and spiritual benefit are also to form part of the new pricing system. Elite global organisations have been working with environmentalists for many years to create a new system of accounting for the profits and losses of business endeavours, because Agenda 21 has instituted what is known as the triple bottom line this involves accounting for all of the normal financial assets of a company, as well as various externalities, such as carbon emissions. The triple bottom linemeasures people, planet and profit; this forms part of each of the Fortune 500s commitment to sustainability, and is often referred to as ESG, or environmental, social, and governance reporting. It is now a legal requirement in many countries for companies to report their effects on society and the environment. Instead of externalising the effects, they must internalise them by incorporating them into their balance sheets. Accounting for externalities has been practised for many years now, as businesses have had to prove they are committed to sustainability, and make vague motions in that direction to fulfil their corporate social responsibility statements, otherwise known as greenwashing. But its not just businesses that have this responsibility its governments too. After all, this is a global concept; so the total profit and loss account of each country, normally measured by Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, is going to include a $ value for the profits and losses of a variety of asset classes, to indicate the countrys net productivity. Soros, Bernanke, World Bank, OECD, the United Nations, and all significant others, want the whole world to measure natural capital. In fact, 193 nations have already committed to going beyond GDP, and the range of indicators (ways of measuring) have been so well used, they are starting to become standardised. A number of recent initiatives are ringing important alarm bells as to how advanced the system has become. Measuring the sacred At its most basic, natural capital is understood as the earths biomass, and the ecosystem services it provides; it involves, literally, pricing the seas, the air, the land, and the flora and fauna, and the various benefits they bestow. Sixteen years ago, Robert Costanza, et al, published an article in Nature calledThe value of the worlds ecosystem services and natural capital (1997) which included a fully priced global index of all these global ecological benefits, which were estimated to have an average total annual value of $33 trillion, which at the time was almost twice the annual global gross product. The report therefore proved the tremendous profit to be had from these benefits, and Agenda 21 and its idealistic proponents have been the perfect vehicle to advance the movement to measure natural capital, and go beyond GDP. The argument used, you see, is attractive and reasoned to many who hear it: the story goes: We all know these things to be true, and once hooked into the storyline, most people fall for the solution being offered. This solution insists we must measure what we value, i.e. ascribe a or $ value to each ecosystem benefit. Otherwise, we are told, we cannot manage what we cannot measure. And its the corporations and bankers who are going to do this for us, to profit from an endlessly replenished stock of assets: people + planet. The categories measured and priced by Costanza, et al, were as follows: Whilst there are clearly numerous issues here to do with control of natural resources, such as the patenting of genetically modified flora and fauna, and the control of water, it is vital to understand that all of these resources, or natural capital assets, are said to generate further, intangible, assets, i.e. profitable concepts that cant be seen or sensed, based on what is said to be valuable to different global communities, in terms of the services they provide. These are usually referred to as cultural assets, and in Costanzas analysis proved to be worth more than any of the other individually defined services. Since the report, a whole range of ecosystem assessments have been performed, using a variety of well-established indicators, or measuring sticks. One of these is World Banks Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES). The most influential report so far has been the United Nations Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA)which describes cultural capital as the, non-material benefits people obtain from ecosystems through spiritual enrichment, cognitive development, reflection, recreation, and aesthetic experiences. The categories for cultural capital used in the assessment were therefore: cultural diversity; spiritual and religious values; knowledge systems (traditional and formal); educational values; inspiration; aesthetic values; social relations; sense of place; cultural heritage values; recreation and ecotourism (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005) The MEAreceived financial support from governments, including Saudi Arabia, the UK, China and Japan, as well as: United Nations Foundation; David and Lucile Packard Foundation; World Bank; United Nations Environment Programme; Ford Foundation; Rockefeller Foundation; Global Environment Facility. (Source) The report also connected the values of all assets, and sustainability in general, to the value of global well being: In attempting to assess the importance of nature to our lives, we should not lose sight of the value placed on the variety of life on Earth for its own sake: this is even more difcult to put a price on, but nonetheless of deep concern to people of all cultures. Whether it is the uplifting sound of birdsong in a city park, the reverence for local species in many indigenous belief systems, or the wonder of a child watching wildlife in a zoo or even on television, appreciation of the natural world is an important part of what makes us human. Even if our material needs could be met with a much narrower range of species and landscapes, many people would regard this loss as a signicant threat to their overall well-being. (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005) [Source] Shaping the New Economy .. with times of unusual crisis often come extraordinary moments of opportunity. For this reason, many of us in the field of responsible investment believe that the financial meltdown actually represents a unique opportunity to recast some of the most basic tenets of fiduciary investment. (Source) Financial institutions are now advancing the green economy, and the measuring of natural, human, and social capital, by claiming they have a duty of care to the environment, and to society, and it is therefore their legal responsibility to account for the way they are affected. In 2009, the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), which is partnered with over 180 financial institutions, released a reporton this issue, stating that investors who failed to account for ESG would face a very real risk that they will be sued for negligence. The UNEP FI has, since 1994, held a series of Global Roundtables to discuss how to advance the natural capital agenda; their motto is, Changing finance, financing change. The 2011 UNEP FI Global Roundtable on Sustainable Finance in Washington D.C. featured, a call for financial institutions to endorse and support a Natural Capital Statement for Financial Institutions. This statement was released the following year in the form of the Natural Capital Declaration (NCD) and backed by over forty financial institutions readied for Rio+20 which aims to work towards building a global consensus for the integration of natural capital into private sector accounting and decision-making supporting, when appropriate, the related work of the TEEB for Business Coalition, and other stakeholders. (Source) Rio was the focus for a grand push to implement accounting for natural capital worldwide; according to World Bank, Private sector companies and financial institutions like Wal-Mart, Woolworths Holdings, Unilever, Standard Chartered, and Caisse des Depots some of which have already endorsed initiatives like the finance-led Natural Capital Declaration and the Natural Capital Leadership Compact, have re-affirmed their commitment to collaborate globally to integrate natural capital considerations into their decision-making processes. (Source) The Natural Capital Declaration itemizes the incentives of the plan: This is not just about risks, great opportunities are also emerging that can be captured by the financial industry. World attention is shifting from a nexus around climate and energy, to one around food and consumerism. Efforts to produce energy without destroying our atmosphere are underway. But, with an estimated 9 billion mouths to feed by 2050, the need to balance maintenance of natural capital with the growing demand for land will require a transformation in agriculture. The use of the ocean to create sustainable protein, offers immense opportunities, as does the innovative use of genetic material or mimicking the systems that nature provides. The need for sustainable sources of biofuels offers a further potential investment boom. All of these opportunities, and many more, involve the smart use of natural capital, which today is mostly not accounted for in the price of goods traded worldwide, and is generally obtained for free. Natural Capitalism can win new business: Addressing natural capital considerations are not only about managing risk. It can also present business opportunities for FIs linked to bolstering the organisations brand, creating value for marketing purposes, or building capacity in-house to advise clients on how to integrate natural capital considerations into supply chain management. Such actions can lead to cost reductions or offer new opportunities in emerging environmental markets. Novel financial instruments such as Green Bonds for climate, water or forests are emerging. (Source) The TEEB (The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity)is yet another initiative teamed with the UN, which has helped establish a framework to make natures values visible, and is also working to address the overall lack of standardisation when it comes to measuring, pricing, and reporting on natural capital accounts. The ultimate goal of this to capture value on a global scale; this involves the introduction of mechanisms that incorporate the values of ecosystems into decision-making through incentives and price signals. This can include payments for ecosystem services, reforming environmentally harmful subsidies or introducing tax breaks for conservation. (Source) All of these so-called initiatives are attempting to streamline and standardise the compliance of corporate reporting on natural capital. The final strand here is the establishment of the International Integrated Reporting Committee (IIRC)which is collaborating with TEEB to create a consensus on the framework for accounting for the new asset classes. The IIRC Pilot Program was backed by multinational chemicals, nuclear, extractive and financial industries (a full list is available here)whilst, Over 90 global businesses and 50 institutional investors are directly involved in the IIRCs work. This includes some of the worlds most iconic brands, such as Coca-Cola, Clorox, Microsoft, Hyundai, Tata, Unilever, Marks and Spencer, SAP and National Australia Bank. (Source) Also, a number of UN agencies sponsored the first annual Inclusive Wealth Report, which was published last year, in order to assist governments to account for value, and which claimed, Wealth is the social worth of an economys assets: reproducible capital; human capital; knowledge; natural capital; population; institutions; and time. (my italics) [Source] Yes, quite alarmingly, (on pages 16 and 17) Dasgupta and Duraiappa argue that sustainable development relies on time being included in the societys productive base, and should therefore be considered an asset class in its own right. It should also be noted that businesses have buddied up with environmental groups to add a thick coat of greenwash to their operations even in the chemicals and extractives sectors; Dow teamed up with the Nature Conservancy in a $10 million deal in order to recognize, value and incorporate nature into Dows global business goals, decisions and strategies. The MEA also states; Rio Tinto has had partnerships with BirdLife International, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Earthwatch, Fauna Flora International and UNEP-WCMC since 2001; in all cases following a period of discussion and engagement. These relationships have undoubtedly raised the awareness of biodiversity as a business issue and have led to an enhanced capacity in the company to make a contribution to conservation. (Source) This information is even more interesting in the light of what is reported by Guy Pearce in Greenwash (2012, Black Inc.) he highlights the hypocrisy of many claims to sustainability made by a number of corporations, including banks, noting that HSBC bank has shares in Rio Tinto, which is one of the largest coal exporters in the world, with an annual carbon footprint of nearly a billion tonnes of CO2. Pearce states: Rio Tinto is .expanding its number of coal mines in Australia, and its searching for new coal opportunities from Mongolia to Namibia. Beyond Rio Tinto, HSBC owns large stakes in a host of big-emitting fossil fuel companies 17 per cent of Woodside, 11.5 per cent of Caltex, 20 per cent of Oil Search. The final stages? Accountantsare now being encouraged to integrate the new asset classes into companies balance sheets, since they are classed as having materiality; this is addressed by a recent report by KPMG and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)It is also being argued that companies need to mitigate major environmental and social risksbecause ultimately the system is about tracing through and quantifying a chain of causality(which is where network science plays a role). An article by Andrew Sawyers said the KPMG/ACCA report highlights the fact that some companies are still not properly accounting for natural capital assets, such as intellectual capital. Sawyers cites Sarah Nolleth, program director of the Accounting for Sustainability Project, as saying, Our economy depends on somewhere between $33 trillion and $72 trillion of free services that we get from nature. He goes on to say that, half of company earnings worldwide could be at risk from environmental externalities, the ACCA report says equivalent to 11% of worldwide gross domestic product (Source) The issue of materiality was also examined by UNEP FI in its publication Demystifying Materiality Hardwiring Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Finance published during the CBD Conference of the Parties 10 in Nagoya, 2010. The Natural Capital Declaration states, Evidence is mounting that the failure to address natural capital by financial institutions is leading to reputational, operational and therefore credit risks for lenders, investors and insurers. (Source) Conclusion and ideas for action Because cultural ecosystem services are rooted in perceptions, they are open to manipulation. (Robbie Andrew) Years of reading about the powers-that-be and their antics lull us into a state of acceptance. Articles say such and such will happen, rather than might the message we get from reading all the news in the alternative media, is essentially doom and gloom. Theres so much going on, so much that makes us angry, that it gets really confusing and we dont know what to do. This, though, sharpens the mind; it gives us focus, and several clues as to what to do: Get in touch with the Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC) they published an article about active opposition to the Green Economy at last years Rio+20 in Brazil: Around 150 activists belonging to Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC), Philippine Movement for Climate Justice (PMCJ), FDC Womens Committee, and Task Force Food Sovereignty (TFFS) trooped to the main office of National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and at the Philippine office of the United Nations as part of the Global Action Day for social and environmental justice, against the commodification of life and nature, and in defense of the commons. The NEDA Director General is the concurrent chair of the Philippine Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD), and is leading the countrys delegation to the Rio+20 Conference. PCSD members include heads the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Climate Change Commission (CCC), and representatives from civil society organizations. .. Aside from commodification, FDCs Reyes expressed fear that the framework will also raise the privatization and financialization of nature, and accelerate further the concentration of control over nature by economic and political global and national elites to higher levels. He added that the framework will deepen these processes and expand them to include all resources that are vital for survival, such as water, biodiversity, atmosphere, forests, lands, food, etc. Once these natural resources are treated as economic goods meaning they are owned privately, commodified and traded the already highly inequitable and undemocratic structure, where a few control a vast portion of natural, economic and financial resources, will linger. Those who are poor will remain poor. Those who are marginalized will remain marginalized, Reyes stressed. We cant change everything but we can use their models to our own advantage. Just like deflecting negative chi a swift raising of the palm, and all that negative energy goes straight back at them. Use what we have to our advantage. The time is ripe we can tip the balance, and swing the phase transition OUR way. Julie Beal is a UK-based independent researcher who has been studying the globalist agenda for more than 20 years.

Controversially, he has been arguing that ungodly people need to be voted out. When Robertson recently appeared at the Rock the South event in Alabama, he encouraged the crowd to vote, saying, Whatever you do, go register to vote, especially on this next presidential election. Register to vote and you ought to register for the House and the Senate, too. Get your tail down there and vote this ungodly bunch out of Washington, D.C.

He is also requesting that the west back leader Bashar al-Assad, so that we can finally take ISIS down. Putins orders include bringing nearly 30 fighter aircrafts and thousands of soldiers to the Middle East in support of the Assad regime. His actions means that Russia stands in direct opposition to a US-led coalition and their military action against the Syrian government. According to Putin, standing behind Assad is the quickest way to defeat terrorism. He claims that action against the government would create a reality in which all the state institutions are disintegrated. There is no other solution to the Syrian crisis than strengthening the effective government structures and rendering them help in fighting terrorism, he concluded. What do you think of Putins plan?

3	20 Facts About The Great U.S. Retail Apocalypse That Will Blow Your MindMichael Snyder In fact, some retail experts estimate that the Internet has accounted for only about 20 percent of the decline that we are seeing. Most of the rest of it can be accounted for by the slow, steady death of the middle class U.S. consumer. Median household income has declined for five years in a row, but all of our bills just keep going up. That means that the amount of disposable income that average Americans have continues to shrink, and that is really bad news for retailers. And sadly, this is just the beginning. Retail experts are projecting that the pace of store closings will actually accelerate over the course of the next decade. So as you read this list below, please take note that things will soon get even worse. The following are 20 facts about the great U.S. retail apocalypse that will blow your mind #1 As you read this article, approximately a billion square feet of retail space is sitting vacant in the United States. #3 Last week, Staples announced that it was going to close 225 stores. #4 Same-store sales at Office Depot have declined for 13 quarters in a row. #5 J.C. Penney has been dying for years, and it recently announced plans to close 33 more stores. #6 J.C. Penney lost 586 million dollars during the second quarter of 2013 alone. #7 Sears has closed about 300 stores since 2010, and CNN is reporting that Sears is expected to shutter another 500 Sears and Kmart locations soon. #8 Overall, sales numbers have declined at Sears for27 quarters in a row. #9 Target has announced that it is going to eliminate 475 jobs and not fill 700 positions that are currently empty. #10 It is being projected that Aropostale will close about 175 stores over the next couple of years. #11 Macys has announced that it is going to be closing five stores and eliminating 2,500 jobs. #12 The Childrens Place has announced that it will be closing down 125 of its weakest stores by 2016. #13 Best Buy recently shut down about 50 stores up in Canada. #14 Video rental giant Blockbuster has completely shut down all of their stores. #15 It is being projected that sales at U.S. supermarkets will decline by 1.7 percent this year even as the overall population continues to grow. #16 McDonalds has reported that sales at established U.S. locations were down 3.3 percent in January. #17 A home appliance chain known as American TV in the Midwest is going to be shutting down all 11 stores. #18 Even Wal-Mart is struggling right now. Just check out what one very prominent Wal-Mart executive recently admitted David Cheesewright, CEO of Walmart International was speaking at the same presentation, and he pointed out that Walmart would try to protect its market share in the US where the company had just issued an earnings warning. But most of the growth would have to come from its units outside the US. I mean, via these share buybacks? Alas, outside the US too, economies were limping along at best, and consumers were struggling and the operating environment was tough. Were seeing economies under stress pretty much everywhere we operate, Cheesewright admitted. #19 In a recent CNBC article entitled Time to close Wal-Mart stores? Analysts think so, it was recommended that Wal-Mart should close approximately 100 underperforming supercenters in rural locations across America. #20 Retail consultant Howard Davidowitz is projecting that up to half of all shopping malls in America may shut down within the next 15 to 20 years Within 15 to 20 years, retail consultant Howard Davidowitz expects as many as half of Americas shopping malls to fail. He predicts that only upscale shopping centers with anchors like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus will survive. So is there any hope that things will turn around? Well, if the U.S. economy started producing large numbers of good paying middle class jobs there would definitely be cause for optimism. Unfortunately, that is just not happening. On Friday, we were told that the U.S. economy added 175,000 jobs during the month of February. That sounds pretty good until you realize that it takes almost that many jobs each month just to keep up with population growth. And according to CNS News, the number of unemployed Americans actually grew faster than the number of employed Americans in February The number of unemployed individuals 16 years and over increased by 223,000 in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In February, there were 10,459,000 unemployed individuals age 16 and over, which was up 223,000 from January, when there were 10,236,000 unemployed individuals. Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate continues to sit at a 35 year low, and a staggering 70 percent of all Americans not in the labor force are below the age of 55. That is outrageous. And things look particularly depressing when you look at the labor force participation rate for men by themselves. In 1950, the labor force participation rate for men was sitting at about 87 percent. Today, it has dropped beneath 70 percent to a brand new all-time record low. The truth is that there simply are not enough jobs for everyone anymore. The chart posted below shows how the percentage of working age Americans that actually have a job has changed since the turn of the millennium. As you can see, the employment-population ratio declined precipitously during the last recession, and it has stayed below 59 percent since late 2009 Since there are not enough jobs, what is happening is that more highly educated workers are taking the jobs that were once occupied by less educated workers and bumping them out of the labor force entirely. The following is an excerpt froma recent Bloomberg article Recent college graduates are ending up in more low-wage and part-time positions as its become harder to find education-level appropriate jobs, according to a January study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Due to the fact that there are not enough middle class jobs to go around, the middle class has been steadily shrinking. In 2008, 53 percent of all Americans considered themselves to be middle class. Today, only 44 percent of all Americans consider themselves to be middle class. That is a pretty significant shift in just six years, dont you think? For much more on this, please see my previous article entitled 28 Signs That The Middle Class Is Heading Toward Extinction. Despite what the politicians and the mainstream media are telling you, the truth is that something is fundamentally wrong with our economy. On a gut level, most people realize this. According to one recent survey, only 35 percent of all Americans say that they are better off financially than they were a year ago. And according to a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, only 28 percent of all Americans believe that this country is moving in the right direction. The frightening thing is that this is about as good as things are going to get. The next great wave of the economic collapse is approaching, and when it strikes the plight of the middle class is going to get a whole lot worse.

1	James Stotts, a 900-pound man whose morbid obesity has made him dependent upon family, friends and neighbors for most of his adult life, was officially left to die Monday. Too large to get out of bed or provide for himself in any way, Stotts, 37, had relied on aid from others for survival since first topping the 600-pound mark in 1986. 'He can't even go to the bathroom by himself,' said Macon councilman Gus Friar, co-sponsor of the Stotts-abandonment referendum, which passed by a wide majority. 'I'll be damned if I know what he's going to do now. I guess he'll die, probably.' Macon mayor Sandra Tomlinson was more conciliatory in her remarks. 'It is sad and tragic that, in our society, a fellow human being can deteriorate into such a pitiable state. I hope he comes up with some way to help himself, although I can't imagine how.' 
2	Muslims Tried To Force Her To Wear A Hijab, So She Did THIS Instead According to recent reports, Iran may be stripped from the honor of hosting the world chess championship. The U.S. womens champion and others are reportedly accusing chess tournament officials of not standing up for womens rights. The protest came after the organization allowed Iran to rule that all female contestants must wear a headscarf during their stay. Female chess grandmasters who refuse to wear the hijab will be subject to arrest. It is absolutely unacceptable to host one of the most important womens tournaments in a venue where, to this day, women are forced to cover up with a hijab, Paikidze said in an interview with Daily Mail. I understand and respect cultural differences. But, failing to comply can lead to imprisonment and womens rights are being severely restricted in general. It does not feel safe for women from around the world to play here. If the situation remains unchanged, I will most certainly not participate in this event, the U.S. female champion told reporters. What do you think? Do you agree that this is unacceptable?

The chimes come on during Belgium, not Belarus!' a red-faced Anderson was overheard yelling just moments before he flipped over a chair and fired a handful of Olympic staffers for their 'apparent decision to be morons today.' 'Come on, we got Azerbaijan on hold in the tunnel, let's move, people. You had your moment, Egypt. Less waving, more walking. Would it kill the Swiss to unravel their flag before they bring it out? Where's my spotlight? Where the hell is my goddamned spotlight?' Once the entire ceremony was completed, Anderson reportedly took a deep breath, smiled, and said, 'We did it. Great work, everyone.' 
3	The Economy of Staying HomeDaisy Luther One of the easiest ways to save money is also one of the simplest. For some people, its one of the most difficult. Stay home. Thats it nothing fancy at all. Just stay home more. Now, before the flurry of emails begins, Im not suggesting that you become a mad hermit up on a mountain, only trekking to the village on foot once a year to buy salt and sugar. In fact, as I write this, Im on vacation with my daughters. (The first one in five years!) Actually, being on vacation is what inspired me to write this. I noticed some of the little things we spend money on when were out and about. Because I work from home, I am not tempted by all the things there are to spend money on very frequently. While I dont think that we should stop living and enjoying life, during your everyday, non-vacation life, there are a lot of financial benefits to finding most of your entertainment, companionship and solace from the comfort of your home. Transportation The first big savings of staying home more frequently is the cost of your transportation. With fuel prices skyrocketing, youve probably noticed the pain each time you go to the pumps. Group your errands. Obviously, you have to go to work and run errands. By grouping these things into fewer outings, however, you will save money on fuel. Stop by the grocery store on the way home from work instead of making a special trip on the weekend. If you go to a gym, go on the way to work and use the showers there. If your kids are involved in activities, consider doing some errands while they are engaged instead of dropping them off, going home, and going out again to pick them up. Food and Beverages We live in a pretty rural area. We do our grocery shopping once a month because its a drive of an hour and a half. While we always take some drinks and snacks, nearly every single time we end up buying something during our time away. Maybe its a treat like ice cream in the summer or hot chocolate in the winter or even lunch at a restaurant. Since its only once a month, I plan this into the budget. However, when youre out every day, these treats really begin to add up. Bring your lunch, your drinks and your coffee. When I worked outside the home, I always brought my lunch and refilled my water bottle at the cooler. Many of my coworkers went out for fast food every day at lunch. They came in with a drive-thru coffee cup in their hands, went to the vending machine for a coke and a bag of chips. When you hit a drive-thru every time you go out the door, the price of leaving home goes up. When you grocery shop, make a plan. When you go out for the explicit purpose of buying food and beverages, its best to make a list. Bring a drink with you, so you arent tempted to grab an overpriced bottle of water. Eat before you go so that everything in the store doesnt looks so delicious that it makes its expensive, full-price way into your cart. Entertainment It seems like a lot of people cant have fun at home anymore. Maybe I have a warped perspective of fun, but I really enjoy gardening, doing arts and crafts with the kids, making popcorn and watching a movie together or just reading a book. Our society has become so overstimulated that people constantly require more and greater stimulation in order to not feel bored. Take for example the folks who are glued to their iPhones while spending time at a place that should be entertaining in and of itself. We once saw an entire family at a restaurant, each with their own device out, eating food and ignoring one another. Because we dont go out that often, I guess its more of a treat, so we are fully engaged in it. Ive noticed that going to the backyard to play is no longer interesting enough it has to be a water park or an amusement park for many kids to be excited about it. By learning to entertain ourselves simply we can get a lot more happiness out of a lot less money. By developing some productive hobbies, we can be creative while meeting needs. By being active in our pursuits instead of passively entertained, we can be healthier in mind and body. And while were on the topic of entertainment shopping should not be entertainment. When you shop as something to do you are bound to spend money on something you dont need. I have daughters, and they really dont love my theory on this, but we shop when we need to get something. We dont just go hang out at the mall. If its time to buy some school clothes, I allot a certain amount of money and time, and when its gone, its gone. I do the same thing with Christmas shopping. The mall is fraught with ways to drain your money you get thirsty and buy a bottle of water or another drink. You werent hungry but the smells from the food court are so tantalizing you cant resist. That display in front of the store has doohickeys that are ONLY a dollar. Dont feel bad if youve read the suggestions above and recognized yourself. People go to college for 4-6 years just to learn how to part you and your money. Advertising is a multi-billion dollar industry. Western society is based on commercialism. A 2007 article in the New York Times said that the average city dweller is subjected to more than 5,000 ads every single day. Its a barrage that hits you not only when leaving your house, but when turning on the radio, surfing the internet and watching television. Add this to the endangered list: blank spaces. Advertisers seem determined to fill every last one of them. Supermarket eggs have been stamped with the names of CBS television shows. Subway turnstiles bear messages from Geico auto insurance. Chinese food cartons promote Continental Airways.US Airways is selling ads on motion sickness bags. And the trays used in airport security lines have been hawking Rolodexes. Marketers used to try their hardest to reach people at home, when they were watching TV or reading newspapers or magazines. But consumers viewing and reading habits are so scattershot now that many advertisers say the best way to reach time-pressed consumers is to try to catch their eye at literally every turn. We never know where the consumer is going to be at any point in time, so we have to find a way to be everywhere, said Linda Kaplan Thaler, chief executive at the Kaplan Thaler Group, a New York ad agency. Ubiquity is the new exclusivity. Recognizing that you are the target of commercialism run amok is the first step in resisting the marketing schemes. Your awareness that you are being manipulated makes you less likely to think, Wow, that sounds great! I have to have it! Be sure that you are the one who decides where your money should be spent. Identify your priorities (preps, your stockpile, a better location, lessons that will improve your chances when/if the SHTF) and avoid the marketing machine as much as possible. By centering your life around your home, you can stay focused on your goals. You can begin to see your home as a retreat from the stressors of the world instead of a grim place where youre trapped.

3	14 Incredibly Creepy Surveillance Technologies That Big Brother Will Be Using To Spy On YouMichael Snyder, Contributor The following are 14 incredibly creepy surveillance technologies that Big Brother will be using to watch you. #1 Pre-Crime Surveillance Cameras Does that sound insane? In its latest project BRS Labs is to install its devices on the transport system in San Francisco, which includes buses, trams and subways. The company says will put them in 12 stations with up to 22 cameras in each, bringing the total number to 288. The cameras will be able to track up to 150 people at a time in real time and will gradually build up a memory of suspicious behaviour to work out what is suspicious. #2 Capturing Fingerprints From 20 Feet Away This kind of technology is actually already here according to POPSCI. Gaining access to your gym or office building could soon be as simple as waving ahand at the front door. A Hunsville, Ala.-based company called IDair is developing a system that can scan and identify a fingerprint from nearly 20 feet away. Coupled with other biometrics, it could soon allow security systems to grant or deny access from a distance, without requiring users to stop and scan a fingerprint, swipe an ID card, or otherwise lose a moment dealing with technology. Currently IDairs primary customer is the military, but the startup wants to open up commercially to any business or enterprise that wants to put a layer of security between its facilities and the larger world. A gym chain is already beta testing the system (no more using your roommates gym ID to get in a free workout), and IDairs founder says that at some point his technology could enable purchases to be made biometrically, using fingerprints and irises as unique identifiers rather than credit card numbers and data embedded in magnetic strips or RFID chips. #3 Mobile Backscatter Vans American cops are set to join the US military in deploying American Science Engineerings Z Backscatter Vans, or mobile backscatter radiation x-rays. These are what TSA officials call the amazing radioactive genital viewer, now seen in airports around America, ionizing the private parts of children, the elderly, and you (yes you). These pornoscannerwagons will look like regular anonymous vans, and will cruise Americas streets, indiscriminately peering through the cars (and clothes) of anyone in range of its mighty isotope-cannon. But dont worry, its not a violation of privacy. As ASEs vice president of marketing Joe Reiss sez, From a privacy standpoint, Im hard-pressed to see what the concern or objection could be. You can see a YouTube video presentation about this new technology right here. #4 Hijacking Your Mind The Pentagons Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) wants to understand the science behind what makes people violent, and then find ways to hijack their minds by implanting false, but believable stories in their brains, with hopes of evoking peaceful thoughts: Were friends, not enemies. Critics say this raises ethical issues such as those addressed in the 1971 sci-fi movie, A Clockwork Orange, which attempted to change peoples minds so that they didnt want to kill anymore. Advocates, however, believe that placing new plausible narratives directly into the minds of radicals, insurgents, and terrorists, could transform enemies into kinder, gentler citizens, craving friendship. Scientists have known for some time that narratives; an account of a sequence of events that are usually in chronological order; hold powerful sway over the human mind, shaping a persons notion of groups and identities; even inspiring them to commit violence. See DARPA proposal request HERE. #5 Unmanned Drones In U.S. Airspace The Department of Homeland Security has launched a program to facilitate and accelerate the adoption of small, unmanned drones by police and other public safety agencies, an effort that an agency official admitted faces a very big hurdle having to do with privacy. The $4 million Air-based Technologies Program, which will test and evaluate small,unmanned aircraft systems, is designed to be a middleman between drone manufacturers and first-responder agencies before they jump into the pool, said John Appleby, a manager in the DHS Science and Technology Directorates division of borders and maritime security. #6 Law Enforcement Using Your Own Cell Phone To Spy On You Mobile carriers responded to a staggering 1.3 million law enforcement requests last year for subscriber information, including text messages and phone location data, according to data provided to Congress. A single request can involve information about hundreds of customers. So ultimately the number of Americans affected by this could reach into the tens of millions each year. The number of Americans affected each year by the growing use of mobile phone data by law enforcement could reach into the tens of millions, as a single request could ensnare dozens or even hundreds of people. Law enforcement has been asking for so-called cell tower dumps in which carriers disclose all phone numbers that connected to a given tower during a certain period of time. So, for instance, if police wanted to try to find a person who broke a store window at an Occupy protest, it could get the phone numbers and identifying data of all protestors with mobile phones in the vicinity at the time and use that data for other purposes. Perhaps you should not be using your cell phone so much anyway. After all, there are more than 500 studies that show that cell phone radiation is harmful to humans. #7 Biometric Databases In the last two years, over 200 million Indian nationals have had their fingerprints and photographs taken and irises scanned, and given a unique 12-digit number that should identify them everywhere and to everyone. This is only the beginning, and the goal is to do the same with the entire population (1.2 billion), so that poorer Indians can finally prove their existence and identity when needed for getting documents, getting help from the government, and opening bank and other accounts. This immense task needs a database that can contain over 12 billion fingerprints, 1.2 billion photographs, and 2.4 billion iris scans, can be queried from diverse devices connected to the Internet, and can return accurate results in an extremely short time. #8 RFID Microchips Most Americans dont realize this, but RFID microchips are steadily becoming part of the very fabric of our lives. Many of your credit cards and debit cards contain them. Many Americans use security cards that contain RFID microchips at work. In some parts of the country it is now mandatory to inject an RFID microchip into your pet. Now, one school system down in Texas actually plans to start using RFID microchips to track the movements of their students. Northside Independent School District plans to track students next year on two of its campuses using technology implanted in their student identification cards in a trial that could eventually include all 112 of its schools and all of its nearly 100,000 students. District officials said the Radio Frequency Identification System (RFID) tags would improve safety by allowing them to locate students and count them more accurately at the beginning of the school day to help offset cuts in state funding, which is partly based on attendance. More than 250 cameras in the District and its suburbs scan license plates in real time, helping police pinpoint stolen cars and fleeing killers. But the program quietly has expanded beyond what anyone had imagined even a few years ago. With virtually no public debate, police agencies have begun storing the information from the cameras, building databases that document the travels of millions of vehicles. Nowhere is that more prevalent than in the District, which has more than one plate-reader per square mile, the highest concentration in the nation. Police in the Washington suburbs have dozens of them as well, and local agencies plan to add many more in coming months, creating a comprehensive dragnet that will include all the approaches into the District. #10 Face Reading Software Dont laugh. Such technology is actually being actively developed. The following is from a recent NewScientist article. IF THE computers we stare at all day could read our faces, they would probably know us better than anyone. That vision may not be so far off. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute ofTechnologys Media Lab are developing software that can read the feelings behind facial expressions. In some cases, the computers outperform people. The software could lead to empathetic devices and is being used to evaluate and develop better adverts. One very large corporation known as Acxiom actually compiles information on more than 190 million people in the U.S. alone. The company fits into a category called database marketing. It started in 1969 as an outfit called Demographics Inc., using phone books and other notably low-tech tools, as well as one computer, to amass information on voters and consumers for direct marketing. Almost 40 years later, Acxiom has detailed entries for more than 190 million people and 126 million households in the U.S., and about 500 million active consumers worldwide. More than 23,000 servers in Conway, just north of Little Rock, collect and analyze more than 50 trillion data transactions a year. #12 Street Lights Spying On Us? Well, it is actually happening. New high tech street lights that can actually watch what you do and listen to what you are saying are being installed in some major U.S. cities. The following is from a recent article by Paul Joseph Watson for Infowars.com. Federally-funded high-tech street lights now being installed in American cities are not only set to aid the DHS in making security announcements and acting as talking surveillance cameras, they are also capable of recording conversations, bringing the potential privacy threat posed by Intellistreets to a whole new level. #13 Automated ISP Monitoring Of Your Internet Activity If you download potentially copyrighted software, videos or music, your Internet service provider (ISP) has been watching, and theyre coming for you. Specifically, theyre coming for you on Thursday, July 12. Thats the date when the nations largest ISPs will all voluntarily implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they will not download copyrighted materials. Word of the start date has been largely kept secret since ISPs announced their plans last June. The deal was brokered by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and coordinated by the Obama Administration. Spying On Us Through Our Appliances Dont laugh. That is exactly what CIA Director David Petraeus says is coming. Petraeus says that web-connected gadgets will transform the art of spying allowing spies to monitor people automatically without planting bugs, breaking and entering or even donning a tuxedo to infiltrate a dinner party. Transformational is an overused word, but I do believe it properly applies to these technologies, said Petraeus. Particularly to their effect on clandestine tradecraft. Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters all connected to the next-generation internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing. Petraeus was speaking to a venture capital firm about new technologies which aim to add processors and web connections to previously dumb home appliances such as fridges, ovens and lighting systems.

1	Emphasizing the importance of developing contacts and getting your name out there, sales coordinator Keith Elliott told reporters on Tuesday that he was traveling home to Ohio for the holidays to put in some solid networking time with his family. Christmas is a great opportunity for me to really work the room, and Im hoping to make some big contacts, especially on my moms side of the family, said Elliott, who mentioned that he would definitely try to get in some good face time with his dad, who works in retail. You just never know which sibling or nephew might have an in for you somewhere, so its really important to cultivate personal, win-win relationships with all of them. Elliott added that he planned on enclosing his business card in his gift to his second cousin Steven Brolin, who reportedly knows some of the higher-ups over at a Fortune 500 company. 
3	The Last Rebels: 25 Things We Did as Kids That Would Get Someone Arrested TodayBy Daisy Luther Heres the problem with all of this babying: it creates a society of weenies. There wont be more more rebels because this generation has been frightened into submission and apathy through a deliberately orchestrated culture of fear. No one will have faced adventure and lived to greatly embroider the story. Kids are brainwashed yes, brainwashed into believing that the mere thought of a gun means youre a psychotic killer waiting for a place to rampage. They are terrified to do anything when they arent wrapped up with helmets, knee pads, wrist guards, and other protective gear. Parents cant let them go out and be independent or theyre charged with neglect and the children are taken away. Woe betide any teen who uses a tool like a pocket knife, or heck, even a table knife to cut meat. Lighting their own fire? Good grief, those parents must either not care if their child is disfigured by 3rd-degree burns over 90% of his bodyor theyre purposely nurturing a little arsonist. Heaven forbid that a child describe another child as black or, for that matter, refer to others as girls or boys.No actual descriptors can be used for the fear of offending that person, and offending someone is incredibly high on the hierarchy of Things Never To Do. Free range parenting is all but illegal and childhood is a completely different experience these days. All of this babying creates incompetent, fearful adults. Our children have been enveloped in this softly padded culture of fear, and its creating a society of people who are fearful, out of shape, overly cautious, and painfully politically correct. They are incredibly incompetent when they go out on their own because theyve never actually done anything on their own. When my oldest daughter came home after her first semester away at college, she told me how grateful she was to be an independent person. She described the scene in the dorm. I had to show a bunch of them how to do laundry and they didnt even know how to make a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, she said. Apparently they were in awe of her ability to cook actual food that did not originate in a pouch or box, her skills at changing a tire, her knack for making coffee using a French press instead of a coffee maker, and her ease at operating a washing machine and clothes dryer. She says that even though she thought I was being mean at the time I began making her do things for herself, shes now glad that she possesses those skills. Hers was also the room that had everything needed to solve everyday problems: basic tools, first aid supplies, OTCmedicine, and home remedies. I was truly surprised when my daughter told me about the lack of life skills her friends have. I always thought maybe I was secretly lazy and that was the basis on my insistence that my girls be able to fend for themselves, but it honestly prepares them for life far better than if I was a hands-on mom that did absolutely everything for them. They need to realize that clothing does not get worn and then neatly reappear on a hanger in the closet, ready to be worn again. They need to understand that meals do not magically appear on the table, created by singing appliances a la Beauty and the Beast. If the country is populated by a bunch of people who cant even cook a box of macaroni and cheese when their stoves function at optimum efficiency, how on earth will they sustain themselves when they have to not only acquire their food, but must use off-grid methods to prepare it? How can someone who requires an instruction manual to operate a digital thermostat hope to keep warm when their home environment it controlled by wood they have collected and fires they have lit with it? How can someone who is afraid of getting dirty plant a garden and shovel manure? Did you do any of these things and live to tell the tale? WhileI did make my children wear bicycle helmets and never took them on the highway in the back of a pick-up, many of the things on this list were not just allowed, they were encouraged. Before someone pipes up with outrage (because theyre *cough* offended) Im not suggesting that you throw caution to the wind and let your kids attempt to hang-glide off the roof with a sheet attached to a kite frame. (Ive got a scar proving that makeshift hang-gliding is, in fact, a terrible idea). Common sense evolves, and I obviously dont recommend that you purposely put your children in unsafe situations with a high risk of injury. But, let them be kids. Let them explore and take reasonable risks. Let them learn to live life without fear. Raise your hand if you survived a childhood in the 60s, 70s, and 80s that included one or more of the following, frowned-upon activities (raise both hands if you bear a scar proving your daredevil participation in these dare-devilish events): Come on, be honest. Tell us what crazy stuff you did as a child. We didnt get trophies just for showing up. We were forced, yes, forced to do actual work and no one called protective services. And we gained something from all of this. Our independence. Do you really think that children who are terrified by someone pointing his finger and saying bang are going to lead the revolution against tyranny? No, they will cower in their tiny apartments, hoping that if they behave well enough, theyll continue to be fed. Do you think our ancestors who fought in the revolutionary war were afraid to climb a tree or get dirty? Those of us who grew up this way (and who raise our children to be fearless) are the resistance against a coddled, helmeted, non-offending society that aims for a dependent populace. In a country that was built on rugged self-reliance, we are now the minority. Nurture the rebellion this summer. Boot them outside. Get your kids away from their TVs, laptops, and video games. Get sweaty and dirty. Do things that makes the wind blow through your hair. Go off in search of the best climbing tree you can find. Shoot guns. Learn to use a bow and arrow. Play outside all day long and catch fireflies after dark. Do things that the coddled world considers too dangerous and watch your children blossom. Teach your kids what freedom feels like.

I even allowed my children to do most of those things only because I wanted them to experience life and be self-sufficient and independent thinkers. The PC crowd has taken over and their agenda is a UN Agenda 21 scenario. Scary. All 25 and way more,growing up in the 50`s early 60`s. Back about 1960, before we made the bomb shelter, wed stack newspapers floor to ceiling in the basement and shoot targets with .22s. (Mpls. MN) I forgot Mumblety Peg. I guess the risk there was throwing a knife into your foot. Excellent article and a true reading enjoyment. Inspiring that there are others who still retain the greater value of common sense and appreciate the great benefits and wisdom of liberty despite its petty risks. Who could have imagined 5 or 6 decades ago it would be an acceptable norm to raise future generations of bubble boys and girls. But I can see the advantages to an evolving tyrannical socialist government in having a sissified, compliant, weak and stupefied electorate. I grew up witrh 8 brothers and sisters. By the time we were ten years old, all of us were capable of riding a horse bareback without reins, ride a year old bullcalf for 8 seconds, shoot a 22 or a 12 guage and hit the target, keep our knife honed and do a days work before taking our place at the dinner table. We had chores to do and in the summer, that included farming at my uncles farm. We even had to endure our mothers anatomy classes when we butchered our livestock. We could watch Annette Funechellos Mickey Mouse Club, Fred-n-Feys, and Sheriff Scotty If our homework and chores were done. We were allowed to play cboys n injuns on our horses and we made our own bows n arrows, and yes, there were injuries, but we survived. Our parents were stearn but loving and taught us how to be self reliant and dependable. Could you ask for anything more? Oh Yeah, and we used to piss our granpaw off by climbing his trees and daring him to come get us. But I think it was just his act to get us to scream and giggle. yeah but we didnt run aroud with automatics either What are you talking about? Automatics Are you under the delusion that fully automatic weapons are easily obtained? i still enjoy most all of that listedyea, right! Cant mend like i used to. Grew up in the English countryside surrounded by farms. I did most of the things on your list and plenty more besides (and have a few scars too). Both of my brothers were much older than me so I spent a lot of time playing on my own, building bonfires, letting off fireworks, going for long exploratory walks through fields that sometimes contained dangerous bulls and with treacherous bogs and ditches to be crossed. I also went fishing alone and didnt drown once! Later on I befriended some kids at one of the farms and wed spend all day surrounded by myriad hazards whilst riding our bicycles like maniacs around the superb obstacle course that a working farm provides. We built carts with no brakes to race down the steep hill next to the farm, whilst keeping a sharp eye out for the frequent tractors and other vehicles that used the same piece of road. No-one died and injuries were rare. Yes, a society of weenies is easier to conquer, subdue, control and enslave. Scary, Huh. If the country is populated by a bunch of people who cant even cook a box of macaroni and cheese when their stoves function at optimum efficiency, how on earth will they sustain themselves when they have to not only acquire their food, but must use off-grid methods to prepare it? How can someone who requires an instruction manual to operate a digital thermostat hope to keep warm when their home environment it controlled by wood they have collected and fires they have lit with it? How can someone who is afraid of getting dirty plant a garden and shovel manure? Its all in the plan Great article, great web site..finally some sanity..
